Chapter 917 Is This Old Man Like That?
Mr. Han Xiangye and His Royal Highness King Yu are the son-in-law of Weng, and Han Yanhui is also a strong supporter of King Yu's struggle for the throne.

Without waiting for him to ask, Jin Rong sent someone to tell him the reason for the grand banquet in Chongwang Palace.

The descendants of the Han family are not very prosperous, but there are quite a few.What's more, Han Yanhui's old mother's birthday is this month.In this way, the Han family had to make some contributions to the imperial court.

Han Yanhui was not afraid of losing his money. Although this idea was sinister, as long as King Yu could get the emperor's affirmation and succeed to the throne in the future, his Han family could continue the glory of at least two generations.

His Han family can still afford such a small amount of property.

The other old fox, An Guogong, went back and thought about it for a while, thinking that his granddaughter must know about this matter.

On that day, King Yu donated the income from renting the garden in Langyuan to the court, and was immediately called into the palace by the emperor.In two days, the old prince, who has always been low-key, came out in person to hold a first-year banquet for his grandson who had no status.

This is not normal at all.And the imperial palace, which has always been strictly controlled, is like a sieve, which can actually spread all the words of the emperor on this matter.This is even more against the norm.

Also, Lang Yuan's income is shared by his granddaughter.With her granddaughter's money-lovers temperament, there must be a reason why she agreed to donate for no reason.

On the day An Guogong received the old prince's invitation, Ye Xinyan was invited back to An Guogong's mansion from Guangsha Construction by Lian Gui.

Ye Yuan and Qi Jia'er went to Zhongyonghou's mansion, she didn't delay, she first went to greet the Duke's wife, and then went to the study of Duke An in the outer courtyard.

An Guogong's mansion is the kind of mansion with a small population. From Ye Yuan's birth to his first birthday, An Guogong is rare, and he has never held a decent banquet.

Now he wants to give the son's first birthday gift to the prosperous Chongwang Mansion, Duke An is very displeased.

Ye Xinyan blinked exaggeratedly after hearing Mr. An's question, and made an expression of ignorance: "Grandfather, you also know that my granddaughter has never paid much attention to this kind of thing. The matter of the Chongwang Mansion, How would I know?"

An Guogong snorted coldly, and looked Ye Xinyan up and down several times.

This girl has only been out for a few days, and she wants to play tricks in front of his old man. Is this to make fun of him?

"Don't act like this with me. Tell me, what's the matter with the children's first birthday banquet in Chongwang Mansion? Your grandfather and I have crossed more bridges than you. Don't try to fool me. I am An Guogong's mansion." The belongings and money of the family are to be left to the grandson, um, the granddaughter can also share some, but it can’t be cheap for other families.”

Tch, she is not rare, she will make money herself.However, does the old man need to be so sharp?Ye Xinyan admired An Guogong from the bottom of her heart.It's amazing to be able to find her head from the old prince who can't get up to eight poles.Who said that people become confused when they get old?

"Grandfather is so powerful, it is not in vain that people say that grandfather is a..." Ye Xinyan almost went bald, telling the truth.

She glanced at An Guogong, and said with a smile: "Well, grandfather, you old man should know, this is actually the granddaughter who praised you. The granddaughter is very envious of your wisdom."

An Guogong waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, don't give me such nonsense, tell me what kind of drama Chongwangfu is singing?"

Ye Xinyan was very disappointed, her brain power was really incomparable to the ancients.Look at the old man An Guogong, who asked about the Chongwang Mansion as soon as he opened his mouth, and determined that the Chongwang Mansion had something to do with her.

After listening to Ye Xinyan's explanation, An Guogong was silent for a long time.Sure enough, it was this girl's idea. If people found out about it, wouldn't she be scolded to death?

"Girl, you're courageous enough. Let so many people lose their money at once, it's enough to be criticized by thousands of people."

Ye Xinyan is very innocent, "Granddaughter, am I thinking of the court? The country is peaceful and the people are safe, so everyone can earn money and make a fortune. Even if you become an official, the place is safe and the people live and work in peace, and adults have more opportunities to make money. Granddaughter believes that You adults are all knowledgeable people, and I understand this truth."

How dare she say such things outside?It's time, and I can't help but talk poorly.

"I hope everyone understands the truth." An Guogong said in a low mood.He had no confidence in what the court's learned officials believed to be true.

Ye Xinyan glanced at Duke An, and said: "Our Duke Ang's mansion is small, and there is really nothing to celebrate recently. This matter is not a rigid apportionment. Grandfather doesn't have to care about Ye Yuan's property."

An Guogong glanced at Ye Xinyan very displeased, "Is this old man a person who cares about such things? I was thinking about you. When I opened this head, the emperor was beating on the side. I'm afraid there will be various celebration banquets. The most disadvantaged are the low-level officials, and your family has to answer a lot of posts. It’s better that you don’t care.”

Ye Xinyan snorted, "Jiang Yifan is also an official on the court's salary. He has a few shares in the cattle farm and the machinery workshop, so it's okay to get a few congratulatory gifts that are equivalent to the official position. What's more, These are not just to go to the official, but to buy rice and send it to the drought-stricken area to relieve the victims. Granddaughter, I still have this awareness."

An Guogong nodded, he didn't show anything on his face, but he was very pleased in his heart.

He knows how rich his granddaughter is.But in this matter, it is extremely hearty.With her leading Ye Yuan, with such intelligence and righteousness, the old man has more peace of mind about the future of Duke Anguo's mansion.

"It's best for you to think like this. People in the world are stupid. Once they involve themselves, they always can't tell the difference. As you said, if the country falls into chaos, officials will not have endless money and salaries. Sigh !"

Ye Xinyan asked cheerfully: "Grandfather doesn't think this is too much, does he?" She really didn't see any reluctance or displeasure from An Guogong's face.

She still remembers a book she read at the beginning.It is about the end of the Ming Dynasty, when peasant uprisings broke out in various places, and the Jurchens in the north were also advancing steadily.The imperial court was troubled inside and out, and the national power was empty.

At that time, corruption was serious in the imperial court. The officials and relatives of the emperor were not without money, but they held on to their belongings tightly and watched the empire collapse.

Afterwards, the imperial court was gone, so who else could protect their family property.The rebel army, who didn't know what discipline was, captured the capital and various cities, and the first to suffer was the families of the rich and powerful.Not to mention family property and money, life is gone.

Such an obvious truth, such a brain-dead result, actually happened for real.

Fortunately, this is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, and An Guogong is not insane.

An Guogong looked at his granddaughter who was cheerfully questioning, and his eyes were very unfriendly.Not having a grandson is really not enough fun. If the grandson asked such a question, he would slap him on the back of the head. Thinking about it, he felt proud and relieved.

"What's so excessive?! For the banquet in Chongwang's mansion, the old man will prepare a generous gift, and then every mansion will also give it to each other. We must lift up the market. If it's not that we don't want to attract people's attention, our mansion is an organization What's the problem with sending a team of rice grains to Yuanzhou?" Duke An said with pride, but in fact, he thought so too.

　Sorry to say, there will be no Gagen tomorrow afternoon.It's the Chinese New Year, and I have to take time to tidy up the house.Or update a chapter in the afternoon, or update a chapter in the evening.

　　Those who still owed two chapters before, remember, I must make up when I find time.
