Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 61
"Yang Shenjin has a good eye for picking women."

It was just an ordinary sentence, and it seemed that I was sorry for Li Linfu's anger.

However, Xue Bai started to think in his mind as quickly as possible, and asked with some guessing tone: "Dare to ask, could it be that Mrs. Guo brought the pearl into the palace and met the saint?"

Li Linfu gave a cold "um" and stared at Xue Bai.

He didn't say a word, but seemed to be asking, "Did you do this?"

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid this matter is not only related to a beautiful servant." Xue Bai said, "When I followed Yang Canjun to Mrs. Guo's mansion, I met a monk named Shi Jingzhong. I did persuade Guo Mrs. Guo rescued Mingzhu from Shi Jingzhong..."

Xue Bai described in detail the experience at the banquet, especially the matter of Yang Yuyao forcing Shi Jingzhong to gamble.

Li Linfu listened very patiently. Those who didn't know might think that the right minister wanted to learn gambling skills from Shi Jingzhong.

"You mean, Shi Jingzhong was able to win seven games in a row with the prodigal chicken boy present, until he voluntarily surrendered?"

"That's right." Xue Bai said, "Everyone calls him 'Monk'."

Li Linfu's face was ugly.

The news he received at the first time was not complete, but he knew that the saint was very interested in seeing Mingzhu, and after asking a lot of questions, he "hadn't expressed his anger", the last four words given by the servant were very meaningful.

Can the saint really hold back his anger?Can the waiter see it?

What happened in the palace city in the morning was reported to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion just after noon. The sage has not announced it yet, so who are you waiting for?
After finally grabbing the prince's neck with both hands, he had to temporarily replace Yushitai's hand to give the prince a chance to breathe?

"Zhu Zi, you are so bold! You thought you were guessing at the truth and framed Yang Shenjin because of your personal grievances, but you didn't know that you missed the truth! Do you want to die?!"

"It's clear from the right, it's definitely not that I instigated Mrs. Guo Guo to bring the Pearl to slander Yang Shenjin."

"You still dare to quibble?!"

Xue Bai panicked, and once again showed his youthful spirit.

"Your Prime Minister Mingjian, I am not very close to him, but I am not stupid. He offends people everywhere and will be killed sooner or later. Why should I do this? What's more, I refused to serve Mrs. Guo Guo, which made her very angry. If it's not fast, how can I convince her? There is also Yang Canjun, who has a deeper enmity with Yang Shenjin, but provokes me to do it, how can I be fooled like this?"

"Again!"

Li Linfu got even angrier and scolded: "It's all rubbish! What time is it now? Everyone is watching the fire from the other side, fighting in the nest, Donggong... Donggong... cough cough cough!"

He was really worried that once the saint died, Li Heng would deal with him.This anger finally vented out.

In fact, Xue Bai was not only justifying, but also pointed out Yang Zhao, making Li Linfu understand that everyone was waiting to see the joke.

No one is willing to remind and protect Yang Shenjin so that Yushitai can continue to attack Donggong.

Then, Xue Bai was honestly scolded.

He has the lowest qualifications, the youngest age, and doesn't even have an official position, but he is scolded the most.When Li Linfu calmed down, these scoldings became beneficial.

The subordinates are all useless, why not help the capable and obedient son-in-law up?
really.

"Ah Lang, Juro is here."

Xue Bai turned his head to look, and when he saw Li Xiu push open the door of Yanyue Hall and walk in, all his emotions calmed down.

After all calculations, I finally came to this step.

He bet himself on the gambling table as a bargaining chip, and with Yang Yuyao's power, he finally got the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to compromise once.

Next, it is time to make a choice based on the conditions given by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and Mrs. Guo Guo's Mansion.

If Li Linfu can personally arrange for him to be born in a noble family and pave the way for him, then the property he has partnered with Mrs. Guo's Mansion will be his dowry.From then on, he will become the son-in-law of the prime minister's mansion, and what he has to consider in the future is to advance to an official position no lower than Yushi Zhongcheng before Li Linfu's death, so as to keep himself and the Li family.

If Yang Yuyao offered more, then he had no choice but to think of a way to decline Li Linfu.

"Grandfather Ankang."

Li Xiu saluted, with a rich expression on his face, and slowly said: "An interesting incident happened this morning. The prodigal chicken boy brought many noble children to Daozhengfang to make trouble, and he insisted on serving your unopened restaurant for him." A few stir-fried dishes, otherwise he will not give up, and this incident has alarmed the entire Qingmen."

Xue Bai heard this, and immediately responded: "Chicken boy is trying to build momentum for me, and I owe him a huge favor."

"You're not stupid." Li Xiu chuckled with dissatisfaction.

It is not difficult to see that this property will not only have a steady stream of money, but also have great contacts, but Xue Bai did not pay tribute to the right minister's house, and the Li family and his son became more and more unhappy.

Xue Bai was sensible, so he took out a contract from his sleeve and said, "I don't want to be a son-in-law, but I would like to use this as an employment. The matchmaker is marrying the daughter of the prime minister, and I beg the right prime minister to fulfill me."

"stupid!"

Li Linfu cursed immediately.

It was because of Xue Bai's youthful self-esteem that he gave Third Aunt Yang [-]% of the benefits.

But after thinking about it, it would be good to make another important contact for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Put it away, how can the Prime Minister be greedy for this little thing of yours." Li Xiu stood up and said good things, "I will take it out when you find out your background and let your parents come to send you a job."

"Thank you Prime Minister, thank you Juro."

Xue Bai followed the trend and took back the contract.

Li Xiu asked: "Do you have any clues about your life experience?"

"No clue yet."

"Ahem." Li Xiu cleared her throat, and said slowly, "Last night, Yang Shenjin mentioned your life experience to Grandpa... 16 years ago, he had a concubine who gave birth to a son for him... "

Xue Bai looked at Li Xiu with complicated eyes.

Li Xiu laughed at himself and didn't make up any more. He said bluntly: "If you want the matchmaker to marry your sister-in-law, you don't need to look for her in this life. The right minister will arrange for you. From now on, you will be the son of Yang Shenjin."

Son of Yang Shenjin?
After a moment of astonishment, Xue Bai suddenly discovered that this was indeed the most likely arrangement made by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yang Shenjin happened to be one of Li Linfu's disciples with the most prominent backgrounds.

"The direct descendant of the Duke of Hongnong, the descendant of the two kings and three Ke, and the family of the princes for generations, only such a family is worthy of the prime minister's residence. Yang Shenjin has a magnificent appearance, is more than seven feet long, has a graceful charm, and is full of talent. It is such a beautiful man with a son like you that makes people believe."

As Li Xiu said, he looked at Xue Bai for a few more times, and suddenly thought that maybe he made the fake come true, so Xue Bai is really Yang Shenjin's son?
Xue Bai only felt the danger.

"Your Excellency, Mingzhu just said bad things about Yang Shenjin in front of the sage, I don't mind, but if I get involved..."

"idiot."

Li Linfu is not like Li Xiu who likes to talk nonsense, he said bluntly: "The sage was angry but didn't say anything, since the old man wants to use Yang Shenjin, he can protect him."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to interrupt Xue Bai who was about to speak, and told Li Xiu: "Go and bring Yang Shenjin here."

Xue Bai looked sideways at Li Xiu's departure, waited for a while, and said bluntly: "Yang Shenjin is disrespectful to the right minister, makes friends with demon monks, and angers saints. Sooner or later, he is afraid of great disaster."

Li Linfu didn't answer, closed his eyes and murmured: "If this day comes, who will inherit the title of Lord Hongnong, the accumulation of the two kings and three Ke, the power and position of the young minister of the Taifu...?"

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

This is Yanyue Hall, make a plan and destroy one door.

From the very beginning, Li Linfu had already thought about what to do, and there was no room for refutation.

~~
Yang Shenjin was extremely reluctant.

He has a son, and he has never lost his son. How could a nobleman allow an outsider to be squeezed in to divide the family property.

But it seemed that someone had already persuaded him, and his reaction was not too violent, he just refused softly, with a faint sense of anticipation in his expression.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Li Linfu scolded: "You befriended a demon monk, and you were accused by that concubine in front of the saint. If it weren't for the truth to protect you, you would have been in disaster. If you recognize Xue Bai, he will come to protect you in front of Aunt Yang, otherwise you will A few more words from the concubine, it’s okay to take your life, don’t you spoil the truth, or do you think the Xiangfu is not worthy of being your in-law?!”

Yang Shenjin didn't know if she was listening or not, she lowered her head to think about it, and finally glanced at Xue Bai, bowed and agreed, and gave Xue Bai his name.

——Yang Xu.

"Xiao, big talk", vaguely seems to say that Xue Bai is boasting and clinging to being a descendant of the Yang family.

After that, several people checked many details.

"In the early years, a concubine conceived for you, but because your wife was jealous, she was driven back to her mother's house, and she gave birth to Yang Xu."

"When Yang Xu was eight years old, Mrs. Xue died early. You sent a servant named Xue to bring him back. Unexpectedly, this servant was bought by your wife and ordered to kill Yang Xu."

"The old servant took a lot of money from your wife, but when he was about to do it, his heart softened, so he took Yang Xu and hid it."

"Until the third year of Tianbao, your original wife, Mrs. Wang, passed away and was succeeded by Mrs. Cui. When the old servant heard about this, he brought Yang Xu back. Unexpectedly, he met a thief on the way, and Yang Xu was injured and lost his memory."

"..."

With the general context, Li Linfu said: "Let's go prepare, arrange maids and old servants to be witnesses, and physical evidence is also indispensable. Don't teach people to see the mistakes."

"Yes."

"The sage will hold a banquet in the Huae Tower on the Shangyuan Festival, and your father and son will recognize each other in front of the emperor, lest the Yang family members refuse to admit it."

Since Li Linfu wanted to pursue Yang's family business, he wanted to prove that the recovered son was real.

It is the most direct way to decide by the sage Yukou.

~~
Imperial City.

After Pei Mian returned to Yushitai with Wang Ji, he took two official documents to Dali Temple to hand them over.

Someone greeted him on the steps. It was Du Hongjian, the director of Dali Temple.

"Judge Pei came late, there was a lot of snow."

"Something happened temporarily, so I went to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with the prince."

"It's too late to deal with it today, and there are still five or six days before the New Year's Eve. I'm afraid these cases will have to be delayed until after the New Year's Eve."

Pei Mian responded with a smile: "Yes, Tianbao can't be finished in five years."

The two entered the official residence, their voices lowered.

"That concubine, who arranged it?"

"Xue Bai." Pei Mian said: "It's a little bit of a personal grievance, and the spit pot said that Xue Bai would be a softie if he endured it, so he gave the hardest counterattack."

"Oh, what happened out of the ordinary, I thought Yang Shenjin would die once the concubine opened her mouth."

"The demon monk persuaded him to do the ritual, and more importantly, we haven't given the evidence yet."

"When will it be done?"

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if Yang Shenjin offends the saint, the longer we delay, the better for us."

"He has lost his sacred heart, and he may die at any time. If we don't wait for our arrangement, someone who has a personal grudge against him will do it."

"Just keep him safe for the time being. After the Lantern Festival, this big case will definitely be settled..."

After talking, Pei Mian pushed the door out, looked up at the sky, and sighed.

They spent the last month or so of Tianbao's five years in heavy snow.

After all, it was finally over.

~~
In the early morning, Xue Bai looked at the snowflakes in the sky with pensive eyes.

Jiao Nu stood bored and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Do you know what the Right Prime Minister told me yesterday in Yanyue Hall?"

"I didn't go in again."

Xue Bai said: "It can be seen that the right minister trusts me more."

Jiao Nu was taken aback, and was about to refute, but he had already put on a posture and started his morning exercises, and he didn't know why.

"Do you have any plans to go to Yuan Ye?"

"There is probably a banquet." Xue Bai said, "An important banquet."

"What's next? Do you want to watch the lanterns?"

Xue Bai turned his head and gave her a strange look.

"I'm not..."

Jiao Nu didn't know what to say, avoided his gaze, took two steps back, and bumped into the door that just opened.

"what."

Du Wulang ran out with black eyes, but first yelled in pain.

"You hit the door yourself, it's none of my business... Hey, I got up late, I have to hurry to the restaurant to set it up, it will open tomorrow!"

Xue Bai didn't go in person, but asked in an official manner, "So sloppy?"

"Scribbled?"

Du Wulang had already run away, but when he heard the accusation, he turned around and shouted: "Do you know when the banquet has been booked? Tomorrow, the Zhang family in Shangzhu Kingdom will be the first to have a feast with fried vegetables! That is, the dark gambling house originally It also sells wine and food, so there is no need to make major changes, or you can see..."

The sound faded away, and he has hurried out of the yard.

After getting the order, Jiaonu must watch Xue Bai carefully, not only to prevent that he still has skills to dedicate to others, but also to prevent Mrs. Guo from kidnapping the prospective son-in-law of the Xiangfu... That woman has a bad reputation. Another handsome son of General Qianniuwei is missing, and it must be his fault.

But Xue Bai didn't seem to want to go out.

"Where are you going today?"

"I won't go anywhere before the Lantern Festival. I'll stay at home and practice calligraphy. Oh, the restaurant will open tomorrow, and I'll take you to eat stir-fried vegetables."

"Fried vegetables?"

……

The next day, Daozhengfang.

On the small table in the verandah of the kitchen are shredded chicken with green onions, braised drunken goose, braised fan bones and so on.

Jiao Nu looked back and forth for a while, and saw that the color was bright, and the sauce penetrated evenly into the meat, slightly oily, steaming, and fragrant.

This is an attraction that steamed vegetables do not have, and it makes people swallow.

"Let's eat, the ingredients are very fresh."

Xue Bai ate a piece of each dish, indicating that he didn't let anyone manipulate him.

Jiaonu then moved his chopsticks, took a piece of goose meat and chewed it, he was so surprised that it was so delicious, the hand that was not holding the chopsticks tightly clenched.

The two ate for a while, and when they heard that Du Wulang in the courtyard wanted help, Xue Bai got up and left.

Jiaonu didn't pay much attention to it, until he ate half of the dishes, and then thought that maybe he should save some for Xue Bai.

Xue Bai?

The name floated in her mind, she got up quickly and searched everywhere.

When he rushed to the front yard, he saw a luxurious car just driving away on the street, which made Jiaonu worry for a moment that he might be taken away.

Fortunately, he turned his head and saw that Xue Bai was standing among the guests watching someone unbutton the red silk.

Seeing the sisters of Du's family standing beside him, Jiao Nu couldn't help but his face darkened, and walked over with arms folded, pushing Du Jin away.

Looking up again, the red silk has been uncovered, revealing the unremarkable name "Fengweilou" on the plaque.

~~
The luxurious tin car has left Fengwei Building, Yang Yuyao is still thinking about the situation just now, her eyes become more and more complicated, as if she is nostalgic for the little tenderness before the farewell.

"What Li Genu can give, can't I afford it?"

She murmured, thinking that it was time to urge the one who helped.

~~
New Year's Eve is approaching.

In the next few days, Xue Bai really didn't go anywhere, he finally had time to improve himself to prepare for the future.

As for his fate, he has already made all the arrangements that should be made, and he just waits for the Lantern Festival...
