Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 38
Dai Quan had nothing to say when he saw the people who were hanging out.

It was also the first time for me to give an edict to someone else's house, and I didn't even take a sip of tea in the end, but I looked around.

They are all from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are all handled by themselves. Shaking his head, he said to the ministers;
"My lords, the imperial decree has been promulgated. It is not easy for Yang Shuren to come out to socialize because of the female family members of the Marquis Mansion. How about we go back to our respective homes?"

How can the nobles agree? With all these questions, it doesn't matter if the women's family members don't have money, we have it.

Zhen Guo Gong Niu Qing came out directly, took Dai Quan's hand and said;

"How can it be, Neixiang, today is a happy event. This female relative of Yang Shuren is ignorant and I don't blame her, but we have to be ignorant."

Xungui next to him also understood, and they all rushed to persuade him to stay.

Dai Quan also followed the words;

"That's right, what do you guys mean? Oh, by the way, I haven't given a gift to the Marquis Mansion yet,"

"Come on! Be happy, Xiaoguizi, bring a thousand taels of silver and a pair of jade pendants."

"Yes, sir."

Only then did Duke Zhen remember the matter of the congratulatory gift. He didn't have anything on him.
"Well, Xiao Guizi, write it down for me first, and send it back. I also have a thousand taels of silver and a thousand pieces of brocade cloth. Congratulations to the Hehou Mansion."

After saying this, other people, including the civil servants, also put on their names and gift lists.

Xiao Guizi hurriedly found pens, ink, paper and inkstones, luckily they were all on the incense table and used them directly.

On the other hand, Jia Zhen and Jia She felt pain in their hearts when they heard that they were going to take out the money. They had to spend a thousand taels of silver, plus a painting and calligraphy, but when they thought of Yang Hanyu's stunning face and flirtatious figure, their hearts became hot and impatient. .

But when he looked up, he saw that the eunuchs and palace maids hadn't retreated, especially when he was arrogant and rude just now, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart.

It's a pity that the beauty, especially Jia Zhen, almost fell into Yang Hanyu's arms in a dream.

After everyone reported the gift list, Duke Zhen said;

"Everyone, why don't you go home now, let's go to the best restaurant in the capital to celebrate, and secondly, the inner minister is also busy with Luoyunhou's affairs during this period, why can't we elders not express Let me thank you."

"Mr. Zhen Guo is being polite. This is also the job of the miscellaneous family. You can't show your merits, you can't show your merits."

Dai Quan also waved his hands again and again, not daring to say yes.

The other nobles couldn't tell that they were being polite, and they all tried to persuade him from the sidelines. Jia Zhen and Jia She also shouted hypocritically, saying that they would not let them go.

When Dai Quan saw that it was almost done, he reluctantly agreed. The matter of the restaurant naturally fell on Wang Ziteng, who made the emperor say that they were relatives.

Naturally, Wang Ziteng was willing in every possible way, so he directly chose the Zuixianlou in Dongcheng. It is unknown why the name is so.

However, a time-honored brand that has been in operation for 30 years can be opened so steadily, so it is naturally covered by someone. The biggest behind-the-scenes master is actually Bai Shuiyue. No one would have thought that this is one of the strongholds of the White Lotus Sect.

After everyone left the Hou Mansion, they went straight to Zuixian Tower, and the civil servants didn't leave to join in the fun.

Wang Ziteng had already sent someone to book the place in advance, and the White Lotus Sect also got the news and arranged a manpower in advance, and was going to write down their conversation verbatim.

But Yang Hanyu returned to her room with the imperial decree, threw it into her treasure box and locked it.

Knowing the seriousness of this matter, she didn't show it off, and the maids around looked at her enviously. Yang Hanyu really didn't expect that she would be granted the imperial order and could enter the palace at any time, but the old concubine's words were still in her ears, don't go back .

Then I wouldn't go, looking at the sisters around me, I was relieved;

"Don't be envious, now I have the final say, but Lord Hou will listen to Lord Hou when he returns to the mansion. If you have someone you like, I will let you leave and give you a dowry. If you don't want to leave, you have the opportunity to be a servant." A concubine is fine too, don't think about anything else."

The maids who came out of the palace all knelt down to thank them,
"However, you are the ones I brought out, and there will be other regular wives and ordinary wives coming in in the future, so I know who is who. If you betray all of us, you know the tricks in the palace."

"Don't dare, ma'am, we don't dare,"

"Okay, there are not so many rules if you are not in the palace, so let's all go down and get busy."

"Yes."

After all the maids got up and left, Yang Hanyu also breathed a sigh of relief, she was more tired than in the palace.

Ming'er, the maid next to her, came over and said softly;
"Ma'am is amazing, just now Ming'er was scared to death, so many adults."

"You little girl, people are afraid of something. Besides, it's all arranged. It's just that you escaped from one place to another."

"That's much better than in the palace, we can still play freely, no one cares, can we go out secretly to go shopping and eat delicious food?"

"That's right, I'm the biggest here, don't even think about going out, and don't cause trouble."

"Yes, Madam is so beautiful, what a trouble."

"You are not happy anymore, find a fight!"

"No, ma'am, I was wrong."

The sound of laughter and slapstick came from the house.

On the south side of Ningrong Street in Dongcheng, at the intersection not far away, you can see the three-story Zuixian Tower, which has long been surrounded by the imperial army.

Wang Ziteng was the host once and arranged for everyone to be seated. Of course, he himself sat at the table of Duke Guo and Dai Quan.

Naturally Dai Quan was the host at the main table, and all the old fellows happily served a few glasses of wine and ate a few dishes, Wang Ziteng said;
"Inner Prime Minister, this Luo Yunhou is also thanks to your old management. The child's daughter-in-law has already agreed, so please trouble Neil Prime Minister."

The other dukes also nodded and said yes, that woman is so beautiful, how could she get out of the palace if she didn't care about things.

Dai Quan smiled wryly in his heart, this time it really wasn't my business, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to socialize.
"This is also the emperor's concern. It is located at the border, and the weather is cold. I heard that the young master has no wife yet. Since he wants the miscellaneous family to help lead the red line, he can't ruin his own brand. OK."

"Then thank you, Nei Xiang, for your trouble. I'll take this drink."

Wang Ziteng drank the whole cup in one gulp.

Zhen Guo Gong Niu Qing and Qi Guo Gong Chen Yi also came over with wine and said together;
"Neixiang, thanks to the help of Neixiang these few times, otherwise the little brats of our families don't know what kind of punishment, come to our brothers to offer a cup to Neixiang."

The other dukes also got up to express their thanks and directly drank the cup to the brim.

Dai Quan was also helpless and had another drink with him.

These old guys want to feed me, but they can't think of a way.

And the guys delivering the food at the side were fast in and slow out, and no one noticed anything unusual for a while, but the conversation was clearly heard by these White Lotus Sect spies.

Dai Quan took a few mouthfuls of food, saw Duke Xiu poured another glass of wine and was about to get up, so he quickly put down his chopsticks,
"Old princes, don't drink this wine. If you have anything to ask, just ask. If you drink it again, you won't be able to speak."

Hearing this, several Dukes looked at each other, and Duke Zhen came forward and asked;
"Based on what you said, the few of us haven't had a drink with you for a long time. This is not an opportunity."

"Stop talking, who can drink you with your drinking capacity, just ask."

"The internal appearance is straightforward, and I, Lao Niu, don't play tricks anymore. I want to ask if Northeast really gave up on Zhang's boy?"

Dai Quan thought he would ask about the palace, but he didn't expect it to be in the Northeast. These people still cannot live without power.

"What, what does Niu Guogong mean?"

Niu Qing paused and emphasized;
"It's the emperor who has really thought about it, including the 20 elite reinforcements."

It was only then that Dai Quan understood what they were worried about. It turned out that it was the elite recruited by the army over there. How could it be possible that he was still thinking about coming back.

Not to mention how much is left in this battle, the capital's Jingying and the Emperor of the Forbidden Army also control half of it. After finally reducing the elite frontier army controlled by Xungui, what do you think when you switch back.

"Duke Niu was joking, the imperial decree has been issued, besides, who knows how much will be left after this battle?"

Chen Yi, Duke of Qi, asked;
"Neixiang, is there no news from the Northeast? Could it be that Pingyang County is over?"

The other dukes also had serious faces. They were afraid of this matter, and there would be a big problem in the customs over there. The 20 army is the property of the frontier army.

Dai Quan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Qi Guogong's words!
This Jurchen is indeed fierce, but there has been no news for several days.

No way, how can such a big city be so fast!
