Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 125 Good Kiss
Li Tian hummed angrily, and Yue Niang remembered something important again: "I almost forgot, Sun Liu has something to tell you, he said that he went to Donghua Gate yesterday and happened to meet Fifth Master, Sun Liu was walking, and Fifth Master was riding a horse. He said that Fifth Master saw him, so he reined in the horse, and asked someone to call him over and say a few words, nothing important, just asking him what he was doing, what he was busy with, and said After a few words, he left, and Sun Liu said that it seems that Lord Wu knows that he belongs to you, so he asked you what to do." Li Tian frowned slightly and said, "What can I do? If I don't do anything, it will be the same as before. It’s not surprising that he can find out about Sun Liu.” Li Tian paused, then continued: “It’s just the same, Tell Sun Liu that from today onwards, stop paying money from shopkeeper Cheng, and pay from Muji instead, and Qingzhi will take the pair later and run to tell Ma Dalang."

"Could shopkeeper Cheng's place be exposed too?" Yue Niang rarely asked worriedly, Li Tian smiled bitterly and said, "How do I know? Let's make a plan first, anyway, he won't need that place for the time being. You go and talk to Sun Liu. On the way, go find shopkeeper Wang Da, and ask him to come over tomorrow evening, Cao Si's daughter-in-law's account will be settled tomorrow, and tomorrow night we have to discuss the dowry."

"Okay! I'll go right away." Yue Niang jumped up neatly, turned around and went out.

In the evening, in the alley not far from Rong'an Hall, there is a clean and refreshing small courtyard with two entrances and lush flowers and trees. In the east corner of the courtyard, under the fresh green grape arbor, there is a low table with three or four kinds of dishes on the table. , shopkeeper Wang was wearing a bronze silk jacket, and was sitting and having a drink with shopkeeper Sun of Rong'an Hall.

At the entrance of the alley, the money shopkeeper of Guifa Grain Shop carried a small blue silk bag in one hand and a large coarse cloth bag in the other. He walked to the gate of the courtyard, put the small blue silk bag under his arm, He knocked the door knocker a few times.

Shopkeeper Wang’s house has no servants, his son and daughter-in-law are all busy in the backyard, shopkeeper Sun hurriedly got up and opened the door, shopkeeper Qian was surprised when he saw that it was Shopkeeper Sun who opened the door, and hurriedly accompanied Xiaoyi to bow deeply "Shopkeeper Sun is here too, Shopkeeper Wang Da?" Shopkeeper Qian said as he looked into the yard.

"It's Shopkeeper Qian. Please come in, Shopkeeper Qian. Master is eating." Shopkeeper Sun turned back to the courtyard and raised his voice, and then politely let Shopkeeper Qian inside.

Shopkeeper Wang asked his son to add some bowls and chopsticks, politely asked Shopkeeper Qian to sit down and have a drink, Shopkeeper Qian said politely, glanced at Shopkeeper Sun, first handed the coarse cloth bundle to Shopkeeper Wang's son Wang Daqing, looked at Shopkeeper Wang She laughed and said: "Here are a few good sea cucumbers, some scallops and sea rice. I know that the shopkeeper likes to eat these seafood. Yesterday, a batch of good sea products happened to come, so I picked some for the big shopkeeper. How about a taste of the shopkeeper."

Wang Daqing looked at his father in embarrassment. Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand and said, "Take it down." Wang Daqing hurriedly agreed, collected the burden and went back to the backyard. Shopkeeper Qian sat down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint uneasiness and panic on his face. The fear faded a little, and he put the blue silk bundle in his arms on the edge of the table, and pushed it in front of shopkeeper Wang with a smile, and said, "Master shopkeeper, here is a little bit of filial piety from me. Thanks to you for reminding me in the past, if you want Otherwise." Shopkeeper Qian had lingering fears: "I almost fell into the same fate as Shopkeeper Zhao, and it was because of my blindness."

"Look at you, what is this for? Take it back quickly! Your whole family depends on you as the shopkeeper for profit, how can I want you these things? Take it back, don't be polite to me, I have a much better life than you Now, listen to me." Shopkeeper Wang knew that the bag must be valuable without opening it, so he picked up the bag and stuffed it back into Shopkeeper Qian's arms: "I just have a few words, if you can listen to it, it will be more valuable than anything else." Qiang, let me tell you, it has nothing to do with whether you have eyes or have eyes. To be a human being, especially if we are shopkeepers, this character ranks first. You can't be like this, you have to remember that there are gods three feet above the ground, and the gods are here!" Shopkeeper Wang slapped his chest: "The gods are in people's hearts! Remember! This In this world, good people are rewarded with good rewards! Let’s just talk about our boss. You can talk about this kind of boss yourself, right? Look at the good fortune of the boss. The official decree refers to this marriage. My master is so talented, beautiful and characterful, how could this marriage be so picky? Tell me, how can ordinary people have such a great blessing? Then again, he is kind and kind, we have to understand in this heart, Don’t dare to break your conscience!”

Shopkeeper Wang is getting old and drunk, so he talked more and more. Shopkeeper Qian listened to his ears. He was blinded by his own lard in the past, if it wasn't for Shopkeeper Wang. If I give it to myself, maybe I will be another shopkeeper Zhao. Alas, who would have thought that the boss would turn around, and after getting such a good relationship, he would become a concubine in the blink of an eye. The more shopkeeper Qian thought about it, the more afraid he would be. The family had to be hanged with a rope!

Shopkeeper Wang turned over the lecture and before he finished speaking, there was another knock on the courtyard door. Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly got up and opened the door. Shopkeeper Zheng and Shopkeeper Zhou came in one after another. This time, Shopkeeper Wang didn't need to order. Shopkeeper Sun went to the back by himself. Together with Wang Daqing, they brought bamboo chairs and bowls and chopsticks to add to them. It was just right to come together, so that the master would not have to lecture them one by one.

In the back lake of Qingfeng Tower, the fifth prince looked at the open huanghuali box in front of him with a serious face, and his teeth were gritted from time to time. This was a congratulatory gift sent to him by the fourth prince. The falling angle!
There were a few crisp knocking sounds from the gate of the small courtyard, and the servant raised his voice to report outside the gate: "The shopkeeper, Mr. Jiang, the son of Marquis of Linchuan, is here to look for the fifth master." Huang Jingjie hurriedly turned to look at the fifth prince, the fifth prince Signaled Huang Jingjie to put away the box: "Let him in, it must be for congratulations again!" Huang Jingjie stood up with a smile, put the box away, and went to the gate of the courtyard.

Jiang Zhengyuan and the Fifth Prince were of the same age, and they were on good terms at ordinary times. They wore a long gown with plain silver and dark patterns, tied with a gold belt, and did not wear a fur. On their heads was a small golden crown.Now, turning the slightly yellowed ancient fan in his hand, he walked and looked around.

The fifth prince lazily greeted the entrance of the water pavilion, Jiang Zhengyuan bowed his hands and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the most beautiful scenery of Qingfeng Tower is in this small courtyard by the lake. It seems true. This courtyard is naturally elegant and rare. Five masters enjoy it!"

"The Xiaying Pavilion and Luoxue Pavilion in your house, which one is not much better than this?" The fifth prince let Jiang Zhengyuan in, followed Jiang Zhengyuan in obliquely, and the few boys who put the box on the ground said: "You also Have you learned these customs?"

"How can it be called a vulgar ceremony, such a big event, I have to congratulate you, your marriage came so suddenly, this congratulatory gift took me a lot of effort, not to mention being worthy of the happy marriage of Fifth Master, at least it can't be too bad Son." A few servants put down the congratulatory gifts carefully, and retreated with lowered hands, Jiang Zhengyuan looked at the fifth prince and smiled, the fifth prince had already leaned back on the kang again, and while raising his hand to signal Jiang Zhengyuan to sit, he said indifferently: " Whether you deserve it or not, everyone has to get married, so it's no big deal."

Jiang Zhengyuan stared at him, hehe said: "Everyone has to get married, but how many times can a person get married in a lifetime? Isn't it just this time, it only happens once in a lifetime, of course it's a big event, of course we have to congratulate him." The fifth prince hummed, and looked at Jiang Zhengyuan and changed the subject: "I heard that you have changed your past and made progress?"

"Oh?" Jiang Zhengyuan reacted with a thud and smiled: "Isn't it just that I took an errand, what kind of progress is this? To be honest, I took this errand because I have been short of money recently, and my money has never been loose After all, you also know that repairs and dredging have the thickest oil and water. Even if you do [-]% of the work, you can still lose a lot. I was forced by money. Who can compare with you? There is Huang Da The shopkeeper followed behind, and now he has a rich relative. If the dowry was arranged in this capital, the dowry of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Yan could be arranged in the past, but now both of them belong to Ling's wife. Your fortune is so good that it makes people jealous!"

"Hey!" The fifth prince dismissively said, "It's just a dowry, how much can it be? What can I do? Besides, her dowry is hers, it doesn't matter if it's more or less. Use her dowry? I can't afford to lose this face!" Jiang Zhengyuan smiled slightly awkwardly: "That's right, no matter what happens, it's useless as a daughter-in-law's dowry, this dowry is more or less just a face."

The fifth prince gave him a sideways glance, and asked casually, "You have been lucky recently to get such a fat job from the fourth brother."

"It's all thanks to you." Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes froze slightly, and then he smiled calmly: "The fourth master is engaged, so it's time to discuss your marriage. Niangniang Ye has taken a fancy to several young ladies, Ask my aunt to help me with Shenxiang and Shenxiang. When they talk, they just talk about me. In their eyes, one you and one me are idlers and do not seek to make progress. That's it, find an errand for me, listen Auntie said, it's really hard to pick out the young ladies Ye Niangniang gave you, but you chose the Li family."

"Can I choose?" The fifth prince replied angrily, Jiang Zhengyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he continued: "Yesterday, Auntie went to the palace to see my aunt, and she told me about your marriage when she came back. My aunt said she took Miss Ye." The ladies from the families who liked her asked the official family, and the official family said that she should not worry about your marriage, the official family really loves you very much, and you are the first one who can get the official family to propose marriage in person."

The fifth prince's eyes flashed a look of solemnity, and he was silent for a moment and said: "Thank you, is your marriage settled?"

"It's almost the same. A Niang is picky. She needs to have a good family background, but she must not be arrogant, she must be submissive, and she must be capable of running the house. Anyway, that means picking someone who is perfect. I don't care, and I can't control it. As long as It's fine if she chooses." Jiang Zhengyuan said casually, and the Fifth Prince sighed slowly: "I also want someone with a soft personality."

"Huh? Isn't the lady of the Li family known for her temperament and knowledge?" Jiang Zhengyuan asked strangely. The fifth prince gave him a sideways look and didn't answer for a long time.

Sending Jiang Zhengyuan away, the fifth prince was lying on the kang in a daze, Huang Jingjie hurried in from the outside and said, "Guard Li, who will be the prisoner, asked to see you, he said he wanted to show you the blueprint of the mansion, how to repair and arrange it, and also said that the mansion chosen by the master Big, although the location and the garden are good, but the house has been in disrepair for a long time, I have to report to you about the money."

"Why are you so annoying!" The Fifth Prince slapped his hands on the table in annoyance and shouted: "What about reporting the money, just say it clearly, don't you think that the money allocated by the Ministry of Rituals is not enough? I don't have any money, not even a tael! Ai Xiu No! You still want to ask me how to repair the layout, so do you want me to tell them how to work? See you!" Huang Jingjie smiled wryly, and stood for a while before saying helplessly: "That's your mansion."

"That's the Prince's Mansion! Everything is customized, why ask? Go tell them that the royal family has rules for everything, let them handle it by themselves, if they can't do it, they will send the mission back, and then find someone who can handle it!" The fifth prince cut off Huang Jingjie's words, and said with confidence, Huang Jing let out a heavy breath: "Then do you plant wisteria or Lingxiao outside your study? Let them figure it out?"

"You decide this matter!" The fifth prince didn't want to listen more at all, and waved his hands irritably. Huang Jingjie had no choice but to leave with a sigh. The fifth master's scary temper today is all because of the corner of the box.

Manager Li was a straightforward person, without saying a word, he respectfully resigned from the shopkeeper, Huang Da, holding the paper, went out to the right, and went straight to Li Zhongzhi's house.

Not long after, Li Zhongzhi and Director Li, who was holding the blueprints, got into the car and entered Qingtong Courtyard.

Li Tian sat on the kang, slowly flipping through the blueprints laid out in front of her. The architectural engineering drawings of this era are quite good, they are basically meticulous paintings. For a layman like her, it looks very comfortable and clear.
