Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 154 Complaint
The fifth prince sent off the official car and rode straight to Qingfeng Building. Huang Jingjie welcomed him in from the side door. The fifth prince entered the small courtyard by the lake, drank a cup of tea comfortably, looked at Huang Jingjie and asked: "Second brother Haven't you left yet?" Huang Jingjie looked at him sullenly, didn't he ask this knowingly, Erye Huang sent a post to see him yesterday.

"How could he go back without seeing you."

"Then ask someone to invite him over, and I'll invite him to dinner today." The fifth prince was simply extremely casual, but Huang Jingjie was very surprised, and was about to stand up to ask someone to pass on the message, the fifth prince continued unhurriedly: "He is You made a special trip to congratulate me on my wedding, what gifts did you bring?" Huang Jingjie was even more stunned when asked in one sentence, what does this mean?Didn't the gift of congratulations have already been sent to the fifth prince's mansion?

"You sit down first." The fifth prince put down his cup, looked at Huang Jingjie and said, Huang Jingjie had already realized something, looked at the fifth prince with complicated eyes, he grew up, and he was more and more able to think for himself.

"I don't go around in circles with you. I don't think the second child can afford the position of the head of the Huang family. You are more suitable than him, but the Huang family is far away in Datong Prefecture. Unless the entire Huang family moves to the capital, you have to go back. Datong Mansion." The fifth prince stopped talking and looked at Huang Jingjie, Huang Jingjie shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm going back to Datong Mansion, what about the capital? The capital also has a lot of people."

"That's right!" The fifth prince strongly agreed: "The capital cannot live without you, why not just the fifth? The fifth must be more obedient than the second, but the second doesn't seem to be able to take care of the overall situation, he doesn't have that brain!"

"The fifth one is not suitable." Huang Jingjie waved his hand at the fifth prince who was going around and talking without going around in circles. The fifth prince sighed helplessly: "The Huang family really can't pick anyone out, but I have to do it for you." You, for the fifth, and for the Huang family, think a few more steps, you have to take a step back, there is a hand in hand, I see it this way, the two wineries in Qingfenglou and the capital will be put under the name of Jin'an County Prince's Mansion first, And that car dealership, what's it called? Shunji? You can't afford to send it to the Prince's Mansion in Jin'an County, so it's up to you to take care of it, and this can be regarded as a backup for the Huang family."

Huang Jingjie swallowed involuntarily when he heard that, Qingfenglou was fine, but Shunji Car and Horse Company was the most important business under the name of Huang's family, and it took two or three generations to get through the underworld such as the escort agencies on the roads in the north Bai Dao, he has always ignored business matters, why does he have to memorize them when he opens his mouth?Huang Jingjie suddenly felt a 'thump' in his heart, his newly married daughter-in-law probably had no worse business vision than himself.

Seeing that Huang Jingjie was silent, the fifth prince leaned over and poured himself a cup of tea. He leaned towards him and slowly sipped it. Huang Jingjie couldn't stay silent for too long: "The old man originally set up the Qingfeng Building for Fifth Lord. Fifth Lord Even if I don’t say it, I also thought about it. It’s time to go to the Prince’s Mansion of Jin’an County, but by the way, I have to ask my second brother first to see what the old man meant before he came. If the old man has no words, he Even if I am willing, I dare not agree, I am afraid I have to go back and ask the old lady to show me."

"It's not urgent. You can discuss it with the second child first. If he thinks it's appropriate, it's good for the Huang family. I'll treat him to a meal today. The old man's health is not good, so he can't delay in the capital. That's fine. I'll go to the Ministry of Officials first. My mansion needs a long history and a bunch of guards. I have to pick someone to go. By the way, the princess heard that you have a daughter who is about the same age as her, and she said she would take her to the mansion. What kind of flowers to enjoy, that's enough, I'll go first, if something happens, someone will come to the official department to look for me." The fifth prince said something in a hurry, stood up and walked out.

Huang Jingjie sent the fifth prince away, and walked towards the gate of Qingfeng Building with his hands behind his back, carefully savoring the words of the fifth prince. He has opened a government office and built a mansion, and he has his own officials and guards. Maybe he will be on a post in the next year, Huang Jingjie thought He stopped in his tracks, he is now a prince of the family, no matter how much he likes to play and ignore things, his influence in the government and the public will grow day by day, even if there are many places recommended by Enyin every year... That's why there are people Wanting to kill him, Huang Jingjie took a deep breath. The Huang family has spent decades, isn't this what they want?How could the old man be willing to let go at this time, besides, the princess said that she would take sister Jin to the house to talk... Huang Jingjie felt a little hot in her heart, Jin'er will be sixteen after the new year, it is the age of marriage, and marriage is the best way to climb into the circle of the capital The best way is soon, the two young daughters of the second family are about to grow up, and the youngest son of the second family, if he can be accepted to study in the capital, he will find a way to go to the Imperial College for a few years... The more Huang Jingjie thinks about it, the easier it is, with these Than, Shun Kee is a trivial matter.

The fifth prince rode on a horse, and was led by a servant to the official department. As an official and guard, he had to choose what was available, but how could he find pearls among the rubble?

The fifth prince wandered all the way to the gate of the Ministry of Officials, got off his horse and went in. Ma Langzhong rushed out to greet him. Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials took his left and right servants and the officials out of the city for a sacrifice, so he had to come forward to greet him.The fifth prince waved his folding fan, walked in front of Ma Langzhong, entered the main hall of the Ministry of Officials for a while, and then came out to wander around the Ministry of Officials, walking along the way, everyone who didn't care about trivial matters greeted each other and told jokes , if there is something speculative about it, just mop up a chair and sit down, drink tea and chat slowly, enjoy the chat, and then go to the next place, Ma Langzhong dare not not accompany him, I want to ask him where Is there anything wrong with the official department, and I feel that it is a bit impolite to ask. Besides, the head of the official department is not here today. If he really has something to do, he can't be the master himself. After much deliberation, he didn't ask.

The fifth prince changed two places, and it seemed that the chat was very satisfying. It was as if he had just discovered that Ma Langzhong had been with him all the time. Looking at him, he was surprised and said: "Ma Langzhong has been with you all the time? That's too polite! Let's It's not an outsider. It's approaching the end of the year, and the official department is busy. If you have something to do, hurry up and get busy. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I just came here to talk to the big guys. There is no one in your department today. The doctor went to Dicui Tower to drink."

Ma Langzhong repeatedly said that he didn't dare, and the fifth prince wouldn't let him follow, how could he dare to follow again, he bowed and took seven or eight steps back before turning back to his room.

The Fifth Prince waved his folding fan leisurely, and continued to chat with people. His long history and subordinate officials are missing. It is best to choose one from the official department. None of the ministries in the capital is more familiar with the official department than the official department. Imperial officials, the Household Department is also a good place, but it is a pity that the Household Department belongs to the fourth brother, and he dare not reach out to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. It is better to stay far away from the military affairs. It is a taboo thing. Just choose from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites, and the elder brother of the Ministry of Punishment acts as the agent. Forget it, just to be on the safe side, it’s better not to pick someone from the Ministry of Punishment. There is also a Ministry of Industry, Dali Temple, Yushitai, and a group of crows... the fifth prince Thinking about it, he walked into the examination department, and then chatted with people.

Chatting until noon, the fifth prince stopped by and invited a few opportunistic officials and officials to have a good meal. Just after the meal, Huang Jingjie sent the servant to invite him. The fifth prince was very excited about chatting and sent the servant away Then they chattered, until it was the time of the day, and the officials chatted almost all over the place, and then they got on their horses and went to Qingfeng Tower to have dinner with Huang Erye and Huang Siye.

Back at Jin'an Prince's Mansion, it was already dark and the mansion was full of lights. The fifth prince had just dismounted in the second gate. Wang Youdao, the steward of the tent, led Lao Gao and Lao Chen to meet him in front of the gate and half-kneeled in salute.The three of them had been waiting for the lord here all morning, and their eyes were a little green.

The fifth prince didn't realize that it wasn't the concierge who came out first, so he raised his hand at the three of them, and went in without stopping.Wang Youdao hurriedly stopped him and said, "My lord, the younger ones have something important to report, and the three younger ones have been waiting for the lord for a whole day."

"Oh?" The fifth prince stopped, and then carefully looked at Wang Youdao and Lao Gao and Lao Chen who were standing behind: "Wait for me? Why don't you report it to the princess?"

"Master, this matter has to be decided by the master." Wang Youdao nodded and bowed respectfully, before the fifth prince asked any more questions, he said about the fact that the princess only had an internal tent and no external tent: "... Look, my lord, how can there be such a reason? This is full of the capital, which of the whole world has such a thing? There is no external tent, so it is possible that the men have to find a group of women to collect the money? It is not reasonable. , My lord, don't you think so?"

"Oh" the fifth prince's voice dragged on for a long time, and he couldn't hear any emotion. He only raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Wang Youdao, and then at Lao Gao and Lao Chen behind him and asked, "Is it really unreasonable? Wangfei Is this wrong?"

"There is no reason for that. Is the princess doing the right thing? I dare not talk nonsense, but there is no external account room, and all the money is drawn by the internal account room. Isn't it going up and down in this mansion..." Wang Youdao glanced at the fifth prince quickly, but Ai Ai didn't dare to say any more. The fifth prince squinted at him, shook his folding fan to cover his mouth, and yawned, "How many people are there in the outer tent?"

"Back to the prince, 27." Wang Youdao replied quickly, the fifth prince's heart beat several times, how much money can he use for 27 tents?

"All 27 of you mean this? Is this the princess who didn't handle it properly? Are you asking the prince to seek justice for you?"

"You guys all mean the same thing. I dare not say it's inappropriate. There's no such case, and there's no such reason. The little ones are for the good of our house." No, no, so I had to reply tactfully, and the fifth prince yawned again: "In this mansion, from..." The fifth prince turned his head to look, pointed to the Moon Gate next to him and said, "From this gate to the inside, everything Under the control of the princess, the female master is inside, and the male master is outside, my lord, I am a good man, you want me to take care of these trivial house affairs? Do you want this face? Forget it, forget it, since you told me, lord No matter what, it's not good, you guys are having trouble with the princess. The princess was ordered by the government and married by three matchmakers and six recruits. Is it possible that you still expect the master to do anything to her? To be honest, the master really can't do anything to her, so Let's go, you 27 don't work in the master's house, where did you come from, where do you go back!"
