A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 163 Matchmaking (third shift)
During lunch, the emperor still only talked a few words about government affairs at the dinner table.

When he was sitting and drinking tea after dinner, he said kindly: "Qi Aiqing, I heard that you haven't moved into the house I gave you last year?"

Qi Wenyan was stunned for a moment.

He just went to see that house for the first time yesterday.

What a coincidence, the emperor asked him today to ask?

He immediately thought of Princess Zhaoyang who went to the mansion with him, but he was a little uncertain what the little princess would say to the emperor for his mansion.

main--

His Majesty the Emperor has always been lenient, even if he left the mansion he gave to him unused, he would not be too narrow-minded to criticize him harshly, or ask the teacher to ask him for a crime.

Qi Wenyan remained calm, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I am busy with official duties, and also alone, thinking that the house is big, and there must be many complicated affairs to live in, so it is true that I have not moved there for the time being. It is not intentional to disappoint His Majesty's compassionate care, Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

While speaking, he was about to put down the tea cup and get up.

The emperor raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be strict, I just asked casually, and I didn't mean to criticize Aiqing."

His daughter has taken a fancy to his house, and he wants to bully others to snatch it...

Although His Majesty the Emperor is a daughter slave, the fundamentals of being a human being are relatively clear.

Especially—Qi Wenyan in front of him is still a rare young minister who has been favored by him since he entered the officialdom!
His Majesty the Emperor felt that it was shameless for him to go back on his word.

Although Qi Wenyan acted rigorously in the officialdom, he was not a stunned young man who didn't know how to adapt and read words.

The emperor's attitude towards him today, although overly warm and friendly, did not seem to be malicious.

So, he sat back generously.

The emperor drank tea from a teacup, and continued, "Actually, that place is not to your liking, right?"

Qi Wenyan naturally wanted to say no.

But the emperor didn't give him a chance to speak, as if he didn't really ask him what he meant, he continued: "I still have a few idle houses and gardens here, and I picked them up for you again. There is one in Chongming Square, which is bigger than yours." Now this house is bigger, and it is closer to the yamen where you work..."

Qi Wenyan understood now——

Everything in front is foreshadowing!

His Majesty the Emperor didn't blame him for leaving the imperial-given house unused, nor did he really consider whether he didn't like the house. He actually wanted to re-arrange a residence for himself?

This……

Which song is it sung?
Qi Wenyan continued to remain calm.

Eunuch Li, who came in hastily from outside the hall, gave His Majesty the Emperor winking hints from a long distance away, but His Majesty was too focused on making up nonsense, and really didn't have the energy to take care of him, and continued to say: "How about it, you Return your original house, and I will give you the Yuchun Garden in Chongmingfang again!"

This tone is a bit strong, but it is not a discussion.

Qi Wenyan could hear it.

Then, before he could speak, the anxious Eunuch Li coughed loudly: "Cough cough cough..."

The cough was earth-shattering and inappropriate.

For an old man like him who is close to the emperor, even if he is really unwell, Shinobu should have a way to resist not being disrespectful in front of the palace.

The emperor and Qi Wenyan looked up together.

Eunuch Li raised half of his sleeve to cover his face, and while blocking Qi Wenyan's sight, he continued to wink at His Majesty the Emperor.

But right now, the emperor and Qi Wenyan were sitting in the hall, and they were not far away...

He couldn't call the emperor out to speak, and biting his ears in person was an invalid operation.

In desperation, he gave Qi Wenyan a smile on his face, and laughed cheerfully: "Master Qi, the matter is such a thing, there is a girl from the empress's mother's family, who came to Beijing to visit relatives alone, and has no place to live. Seeing that she was a little girl, the empress doted on her a little more, and she allowed her to choose any idle house in the capital. It turned out to be a coincidence... Didn't you never live in that house? The girl misunderstood I thought it was an idle house, so I begged my empress face to face. Your Majesty will not refute the queen's empress's face, and it just so happens that you didn't live in that house..."

He secretly gave the emperor another wink, but the nonsense was arranged without any delay: "I'm really sorry about this matter, why don't the old servants search for you around the original boundary to see if there is anything suitable?" Can your house be vacated?"

The emperor was suddenly robbed by him, and he was confused.

Qi Wenyan understood instantly——

That little princess wanted to rob his house on a whim?

Although His Majesty the Emperor was puzzled, he had a tacit understanding with this servant of Princess Li for decades, so he directly assumed that he knew about it, and nodded smoothly: "That's fine."

Then, Qi Wenyan stood up, cupped his hands, and said righteously: "But His Majesty promised that I will be the first in that house. I have already hired a craftsman, and I am going to start renovations in a few days. I am afraid that it is not good to regret it now." ?”

He hired craftsmen to repair the house, and it's not good to regret it...

The mansion bestowed on him by the emperor must now be forcibly taken back to others, which would only be worse.

The youngest and most promising prison officer in the dynasty, in front of His Majesty the Emperor, spoke out in such a righteous way to advise...

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but blush.

Eunuch Li is mature and smooth, but he still smiled kindly, and coordinated: "My lord, you are also sympathetic to your majesty. The empress has opened her mouth, and your majesty has already agreed."

His Majesty the Emperor sat on the dragon chair, put on a polite yet embarrassed expression, and let his old servant do his best.

Qi Wenyan pursed his lips tightly and responded.

Eunuch Li chattered and continued to lobby: "The other party is a girl's family after all. Your lord, you have a lot? Or... If you really like the place in that house, at least you should separate half of it?"

And this kind of operation?

Qi Wenyan frowned.

His Majesty the Emperor even let out a "woo", his expression almost froze.

However, Eunuch Li's face was full of flesh, and his face was particularly beaten. He ignored the eyes of Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple who stared at him like a ghost: "You said just now that the lonely family lives in that house. Housework is too much and messy, so tidying it up will waste time, right? Let’s do it? You separate half of the house and be a neighbor with the girl, so that His Majesty can have an explanation to the Empress.”

This idea must be a bad idea.

But His Majesty the Emperor didn't interrupt, Qi Wenyan frowned more and more, but for a moment he neither let go nor made a sound.

Eunuch Li said: "Your house has never been moved, and weeds are overgrown now, and it is also buried. Mr. Qi, please make a step, the empress must take care of her family, and send someone to repair the house for the girl. Just right Your Majesty can also take favors from the empress and ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to clean up your half of the mansion together, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

His Majesty the Emperor wanted to marry his daughter. On the day of the Qionglin Banquet, Qi Wenyan was the one who was particularly optimistic about her, and he made an excuse to call her into the palace.

Strictly speaking—

If it wasn't for his precious daughter's non-cooperation that day, the entire banquet that was messed up ended without a problem, and in his heart, the other people were actually just a foil.

A group of Jinshi who have just entered the officialdom are all melon eggs, can write a few articles, and they are good-looking, but they have no experience, who knows whether it is a dragon or a worm, only this young minister of Dali Temple, Qi Wenyan, is serious. I am satisfied from the inside and outside, and everyone else is passing by.

Here today, he was in a fog at the beginning, not knowing why his old servant was messing around...

At this moment, the thoughts that had been extinguished immediately became active!

His Majesty the Emperor clapped his hands vigorously: "Then it's settled, Aiqing, you are also busy with business, so you can go about your business, I will ask someone to repair that house for you."

His words up to this point, in fact, no one can refuse.

Of course, if Qi Wenyan wants to refuse, it's not impossible to refuse...

But he was silent for a long time, but he also silently acknowledged it, cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, minister, obey the order!"

His Majesty the Emperor was a little happy, and the arc of the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed.

Eunuch Li's small eyes were shining brightly, and he said hastily: "Then how to divide the house, and Mr. Qi's preference for garden furniture, turn around and arrange the manpower for the Ministry of Industry, and call you to come over and teach me face to face."

Qi Wenyan was used to being treated coldly and suffered a lot since he was a child. In fact, he is not picky about the details of life. Even the simple courtyard in the yamen of Dali Temple lived very well.

There was no need to be so troublesome, and——

He really didn't want to waste his time and energy on this kind of thing.

Can……

He was still silent for a moment and never refused.

When he was sent out of the imperial study, Eunuch Li was smiling all over his face when he returned to the palace, and his steps were so light that he almost flew to dance to His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor sat behind the case and drank tea one after another.

He made up his own mind to arrange Qi Wenyan as a courtier with no lower limit, but when it was his own precious daughter's turn, he didn't dare to make a big deal, and felt as if he had a toothache: "I know that for that girl Cheng'er, you and I are fucking In the same way, as the youngest of the Qi family, I really think that all aspects are very good, but that girl... won't give me another chance this time, right? It doesn't matter whether I get down or not, but If she becomes unhappy again, she goes to run on people again... The Qi family is good everywhere, even their temper is quite arrogant. "

His daughter always hurt people, Qi Wenyan, who is so self-respecting, probably won't be able to withstand her hurting her a few times.

Although His Majesty the Emperor dotes on his daughter, he is also a man and knows what men like about women.

Eunuch Li went to Qi Wenyan's house early this morning for a field inspection. By the way, in order to understand the little princess's mind, he went to inquire with her personal guards, and the first-hand information he had just received.

This is a matter of detail, reporting yesterday's matter to His Majesty the Emperor.

There was a comment: "This is unintentional, isn't it?"

His Majesty the Emperor never imagined that the blind date banquet he had carefully prepared would end hastily without even the beginning, but in the end it would turn out to be a bright future, and there would be a follow-up?
The two thieves, master and servant, bit their ears for a long time.

His Majesty the Emperor still felt that this matter was a little unreliable: "That girl's temper is really a little bit bad, and it's not bad, just my Master Shaoqing from Dali Temple...His family background is also a bit special. At first I just looked at it I fell in love with his introverted and stable temperament, but seeing what you said, you can't adjust him, but let my princess accommodate him, right?"

Although Qi Wenyan's family background is not very good, and his birth mother is unknown until now, but these can be ignored in the eyes of the emperor.

One's concubine's background is not something everyone can choose, Qi Wenyan seems to be outstanding in all aspects except for this background.

His daughter is the jewel in his palm. When choosing a son-in-law, he must choose someone who is capable and responsible, who can take care of himself at critical moments and take care of his daughter's affairs.

From this point alone, he thinks that Qi Wenyan is more reliable than those honorable children who only know how to rely on their family background to enjoy themselves.

"Master Qi's temper is sometimes a little bit weird." Eunuch Li can't open his eyes and talk nonsense, "But this old slave feels that although our little highness is usually arrogant and willful, our heart is not so good. He is also a very kind person. Anyway, Your Majesty, you are most interested in this Lord Qi at the beginning, if you can't make it, try to match it up... Try it, it won't hurt at all. "

His Majesty the Emperor is really helpless with his princess.

If this is the prince's wedding——

Whether he likes it or not, he is optimistic. He directly decides to pick a date and get married, and he will work together, but he has to coax his precious daughter.

Princess Zhaoyang suddenly came to ask for Qi Wenyan's house intentions. His Majesty the Emperor and Eunuch Li murmured for a long time. Although their train of thought was a little bit off, their judgment was correct. They were sure that Zhaoyang's request for this house must have something to do with Qi Wenyan. of.

It doesn't matter whether she is fighting against people or something else, after all, she is willing to take the initiative to deal with people, which is a good thing.

Eunuch Li was also worried about this matter, and immediately went to the Ministry of Industry to re-unify the caliber and make arrangements.

Normally, the emperor would not casually invite his courtiers to accompany him for meals. The meal that Qi Wenyan ate in the palace was spread throughout the yamen inside and outside the palace in the afternoon.

But when His Majesty the emperor dismissed all the palace people during the meal, no one knew why Mr. Qi was left alone.

However, Qi Wenyan was so strict that he was almost unreasonable. In the afternoon, when his colleagues and superiors inquired around him, he all said that nothing happened. It just happened that he was reporting government affairs in the Imperial Study just in time for lunch.

"The words of the third child are obviously untrustworthy." After leaving the yamen at night, Qi Zhengyu and Qi Wenang and his son returned home together, Qi Wenang was very confused, "He won't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty, right? "

Qi Zhengyu knew about Qi Wenyan's life experience.

Back then, he was really afraid that the Yang family would not be able to bear this turn of events, so Qi Zhengyu offered to put Qi Wenyan under his own name.

Yesterday he turned over old accounts and launched an attack on Qi Wenjing. Although Qi Wenang was not involved in this matter, Qi Wenang can probably guess what happened based on various signs.

The old man had a cold face, with a clouded expression, and said coldly: "Is it something glorious? Unless he is crazy!"

Qi Wenyan's life experience has always been the object of criticism by everyone, but no matter how much people talk about it, after seventeen years have passed, there is no big influence and energy left after the new energy has passed.

However, if other relevant news is released now, the effect will be earth-shattering, and it will be different from now.

Even if Qi Wenyan was upset, he wouldn't look for trouble like this.

Qi Wenang knew that the old man's many calculations recently had failed, and he was angry, so he stopped rushing to make fun of himself.

The father and son came out from the outer palace gate and boarded the carriage.

He realized later that he hadn't seen Guan Yusheng for a whole day, so he asked again, "Did you change your followers?"

Qi Zhengyu said: "Guan Yusheng has something to do at home. It is said that his elder brother fainted suddenly while working in the field and went back to visit the sick."

Although Qi Huan avoided it deliberately and did not let Qin Song's people leave obvious trauma on Guan Yusheng, but he was kicked by Jian Xinghai, but he was kicked out of internal injuries. It took time to adjust and stabilize his mood. At this time, he asked for leave to return home, and the excuse he used was still true. Qi Zhengyu did not have the slightest suspicion.

When the father and son returned to the Hou's Mansion, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door to welcome them.

This is the rule of the Marquis of Changning. Every day when Qi Zhengyu, the head of the family, comes back, the butler is there to greet him personally. If something important happens at home that day, he will report it. If there is nothing wrong, just meet him face to face, so Qi Zhengyu can feel at ease.

Then on this day, the butler had just welcomed his father and son into the mansion, and before he could report it, Qi Zhengyu's confidants also came over and said directly: "Master Hou, the whereabouts of the young master have been found, and he is in the Pingguo mansion. .”

Qi Zhengyu stopped abruptly.

Qi Wenang didn't react too much in a hurry, and blurted out, "Which Pingguo mansion?"

Which Pingguo government is there?In the entire land of Dajin, there is only one Pingguo mansion!
The butler was also in a hurry to report: "At noon, Gu Shizi of the Pingguo Duke's Mansion personally brought the young master to the door and came back. The wife of the prince did not show up, but the eldest lady entertained him for lunch in the outer courtyard. He took a few sets of clothes from the young master, and then left with the child in his arms."

The confidant also lowered his head: "It's not easy to stop the little ones."

Qi Zhengyu and his son were completely stunned this time.

All day long, what unbelievable and wonderful things happen? !
　His Majesty the Emperor: Sons can marry whatever they want, but daughters must be married carefully!
　　His Royal Highness: At the bottom of the food chain, there is nothing to love~
