Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

Chapter 21 If Grandfather Becomes the Master of Danqing
The Ministry of Rites did not hide the fact that they went to General Wensheng's mansion twice to hire him. The most elite ministers in the DPRK guessed the reason when Pei Xuan asked to retire.

After all, Pei Xuan was only in his early forties, and he was in his prime.

It is precisely because they guessed the reason that people are particularly shocked. They don't think that Hua Jingyun will pay attention to him from the sixth prince to the emperor of Annan. In their hearts, even the prince's title is the emperor's opinion. Just for face.

It was shocking that Wen Mian actually had such an important position in the emperor's heart, because he offended him and even lost his official position. This realization made the other prince's henchmen feel a deep crisis.

At this time, several princes were even more regretful, especially the second prince Hua Jingsheng.

The Second Prince's Mansion, Hua Jingsheng is standing by the window of the study. There is a long table under the window. A small incense burner with filigree enamel wafts curling cigarettes. Outside the window is a small peony bush, although the peony flowers have fallen from the branches. However, because this clump of peonies is of extraordinary quality, I still keep the seedlings and wait for the coming year.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the study, and a young man wearing a cloth and a square scarf walked in and gave a respectful salute to Hua Jingsheng.

This man was one of Hua Jingsheng's many advisors, and his name was Lu Xing.

"Your Highness, Qin Gong has already dealt with it properly."

Qin Gong did two things in a row, and being kicked out was expected. Hua Jingsheng turned around and said, "Lu Xing, according to the current situation, tell me what you think."

Lu Xing got up, cupped his hands and said, "Xing thinks that Qin Gong has gone the wrong way."

Under Hua Jingsheng's suggestion, Lu Xing continued to express his thoughts, "One is that King Annan was ambushed on his way back to Beijing. Even if King Annan was not favored by the emperor due to his fate, he was still the emperor's son. Brothers are slaughtered, and the emperor must be angry."

"Second, King Annan is now the son-in-law of General Wen. General Wen loves his daughters too much. For Miss Wen, he will also support King Annan. The border is unstable. It can be seen from the accident of Pei Xuan, the Ministry of Rites, that the emperor will rely more heavily. General Wen."

"Three rules, the emperor's majesty is not satisfied with the status quo of Dongshu. As long as General Wen and his son are not damaged in battle, even if they make some mistakes, the emperor can turn a blind eye, as long as the mistakes are not fatal. To coerce him is a fool's dream."

"Qin Gong acted privately, and now he has offended General Wen, but it makes His Highness appear passive."

"In view of King Annan's fate, the high position has no predestined relationship with him. In my humble opinion, as long as Your Highness can be friends with King Annan, you can get some help from him. Not to mention the strength of General Wen, King Annan will be the only one. The financial resources should not be underestimated.”

"His Royal Highness is dormant, first to win the favor of the emperor, and then to win over King Annan. In the end, it may not be impossible to accumulate a lot."

Hua Jingsheng heard the words and looked at Lu Xing carefully for the first time. He sighed in his heart. Lu Xing has been in the manor for more than two years, and he usually does not show anything. He did not expect such a thorough analysis of the situation.

Thinking about his words and thinking about the two previous actions, I was extremely annoyed, and I wished to cut Qin Gong into eight pieces.

"From today onwards, you are the chief counselor of this prince. Tell me about how this prince will win over the sixth brother?"

Lu Xing smiled, "Your Highness, please stay put for the time being. No matter how many small things you do, it's not as important as a big one. It's best to owe the kind of big favors. You just need to wait now."

"Of course, Xing will also keep an eye on the best time for His Highness."

Hua Jingsheng nodded, and now it was pleasing to the eye to see how Lu Xing saw it. The two said a few more words before Lu Xing left the study with a smile on the corner of his mouth where no one could see it.
Wen Mianmian's wedding date is set for the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, and there are still two months left.

Clerk Mian gave the dowry list to Mrs. Wen, and the Ministry of Rites sent 81 levies, and Huajingyun added another 88 levies to make up 88 levies. With these [-] levies of dowry, the General’s Mansion only needs to add [-] levies, implying a one-in-a-million dowry The number came out, which can be described as quite decent.

Of course, any more is beyond the rules.

Clerk Mian handed over the 5000 taels given by the emperor. As a result, Mrs. Wen's pressure dropped sharply.

On this day, Wen Mianmian was looking at her dowry. To be honest, for her who used to be a social animal, she was in a trance to see so many treasures.

Mrs. Wen took a scroll, it was a picture of Xuemei, and there were several seals on the lower right corner, which didn't look cheap.

"This is Mr. Dongqing's danqing, which is extremely rare. If you make a move to the outside world, don't say a thousand liang."

Wen Mianmian stepped forward and observed it carefully. She studied with her grandfather in the past few days, and watched many of his grandfather's paintings. As a layman, she felt that this painting was not as good as his grandfather's painting.

"That's it, 1000 taels?"

Mrs. Wen nodded, "It is rumored that Mr. Dongqing used to sell paintings on the street when he was down and out. He was fortunate to meet Mr. Yuanchun, the master of Danqing. Mr. Yuanchun once praised Mr. Dongqing's excellent painting skills and expressiveness, so he gradually became famous."

"I heard that the most expensive one was bought for 3000 taels."

Wen Mianmian sucked in a breath of cold air, this is the down-and-out painter who met the support of the Great God, and soared into the sky.

"Mother, give me this painting, I will return it later."

Mrs. Wen gave it to her without thinking, "Take it."

After waiting for the betrothal gift, Wen Mianmian sent the scroll to Old Man Wen, "Look, grandfather, this is all, 1000 taels."

"Why don't I look as good as yours?"

Having the opportunity to see the masterpieces of his peers, or the paintings of famous people, the old man was very excited, and after watching it carefully for a long time, his face was disappointed, "This man is impetuous, superficial, and is too concerned with the gorgeousness of the fine brushwork, but he has lost his charm. ."

Wen Mianmian leaned forward and looked pretentiously. Of course, she didn't see anything, so she turned her head and said, "Grandfather, I remember that you have a similar painting. Did you come to me to see it?"

The old man turned around and entered the room. After a while, he took out a painting and unfolded it. Even Wen Mianmian, who was a layman, was worried.

This is not famous. If he is famous, wouldn't her grandfather's painting be worth 200 taels?

Big eyes rolled, how in the end can help grandfather gain fame?

If her grandfather became famous, she would become the granddaughter of a certain Danqing master, so majestic and literate.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Looking at his granddaughter with a smirk, the old man couldn't help interrupting him, "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Mianmian turned around, "Grandfather, why did you lose your seal?"

The old man looked sad, "I don't have a seal."

In fact, he had a seal earlier, but his wife forcibly took it away and never returned it.

"Grandfather, what was your previous seal called? I'll give you a seal. It's impossible to say that this painting doesn't have a seal."
