Chapter 124 New House Banquet
"Lezi. The East Factory is under strict security. The East Factory prison is even more difficult to enter. You can't do anything randomly." Yang Ning hurriedly said to Xiao Lezi.
"But……."
"It's nothing but fun. I know you may have a high martial arts skills. But I can't let you take this risk. Besides, I can't do it anymore. Feng Bao must be reviewing them now. After the trial, he will not let these eunuchs live. It would be useless if you go. He would know if he knew it. It would be no big deal."
"Yes." Xiao Lezi agreed obediently.
Yang Ning was about to speak again, but he heard Xiang Zhong's voice coming out of the window. "Brother Ning, come out quickly. The emperor's will is coming."
Yang Ning was shocked and hurried out of the house. Xiao Lezi followed behind and walked out.
Xiang Zhong first smiled friendly at the little Lezi behind Yang Ning, and then said to Yang Ning excitedly: "Justice Supervisor Zhang Cheng just now sent a message. Let me tell you. Teng Xiang is finished this time. After the emperor learned about the Taimiao incident, he said. .The order was ordered by the East Factory, the Jinyiwei Town and the Censorate to jointly hear the matter. Those who are guilty must handle it strictly. By the way, because you are also related to this matter. The emperor also issued an order to postpone your trip to Shanxi for a few days. Let’s talk about it after the matter is investigated.”
Yang Ning is not surprised to be allowed to go to Shanxi for the time being. He just said strangely: "What happened in the palace? Why did the emperor ask the Jinyiwei and the Censorate to mix with it?"
Xiang Zhong replied: "I heard from Zhang Cheng that Meng Tong cried in tears in front of the emperor. There was also a tall beard mixed on the side. The emperor agreed to the three ministries to review."
Yang Ning understood. It seems that Gao Gong and Meng Tong are unwilling to fail like this. But what's the use? I guess those eunuchs have already killed Feng Bao in the East Factory. Now, just stick to the red paint. The wooden stick was brought into the Taimiao by Teng Xiang. He could not escape the charge of blasphemy of Taimiao.
Xiang Zhong said again: "Brother Ning. Miss Ling'er in the imperial concubine's palace is here. She is waiting for you in the main hall. The princess is talking with her."
"Oh." Yang Ningxi said: "It's just right. Let's go. Let's go. Ling'er must be very happy to see you."
Shui Ling came at this time. I am afraid that Concubine Li heard the news and was not convenient for him to come forward. He sent Ling'er to inquire about the news.
When Yang Ning entered the east warm pavilion of the main hall of Funing Palace, he happened to see Princess Yongning sitting together holding Shui Ling's hand. Ying'er stood behind Princess Yongning. The three girls were talking and laughing. The relationship seemed to be very harmonious. .Yang Ning felt a little strange. When did Shui Ling get so familiar with Princess Yongning and Ying'er?
When she saw Yang Ning coming in, Shui Ling said happily: "Brother Ning, you are here." As she said that, she was about to stand up.
Princess Yongning gently pulled Shui Ling and smiled and said, "You don't bother to stand up and sit down. Do you need to be so polite with your brother Ning?"
Shui Ling turned red and did not get up. She just said to Yang Ning with a worried look: "Brother Ning. Today's Taimiao incident. I heard from the princess. You... are you okay?"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry. What can I do? Let's not talk about this for now. Ling'er. Look who this is." As he said that, Yang Ning stood aside and showed that he had deliberately done it. The little fun blocked behind him.
"Ah, Brother Lezi, it's you." Shui Ling rushed forward in surprise. He pulled Xiao Lezi's arm and jumped happily. "That's great. It's so good. Brother Ning finally found you Now we have gathered again.”
Seeing Shui Ling happily, Xiao Lezi's face, which had always been cold, couldn't help but show a hint of warmth.
"Brother Lezi. Where did you go after entering the palace? Brother Ning and Brother Chengzi couldn't find you. Also, why are your health still so poor? Look at how cold your hands are. I'll warm you up. ." Shui Ling said with a heartache. Her two little hands covered Xiao Lezi's hands with all their strength. She wanted to warm Xiao Lezi's hands in this way.
Princess Yongning smiled and sighed to Yang Ning: "The sincere feelings of these friends are really touching."
Yang Ning smiled slightly and said, "After all, we have been through life and death and have been together for many years. Such a relationship is not easy to come by. By the way, princess. I want to transfer Xiao Lezi to Funing Palace. It is also easy to take care of you. ..”
Princess Yongning immediately said, "Of course it's okay. You don't have to worry about this. Xiang Zhong. You should go to the Inner Supervision Office now. Just say what I said. Let them do it immediately. Xiao Lezi doesn't have to go back to Taimiao again. ”
"Yes." Xiang Zhong agreed and turned around and went out.
But Xiao Lezi suddenly said, "I have to go back. There is something there."
"Okay. It's time for me to leave too. Princess. I have something to do outside the palace today. I won't come back." Yang Ning said to Princess Yongning.
"Oh. OK. I understand." Princess Yongning looked a little lonely and replied faintly.
With Xiao Lezi, Shui Ling left Funing Palace. Yang Ning instructed Xiao Lezi: "Lezi. You go back and get the things. Come back to this Funing Palace immediately. Just find Xiang Zhong for everything."
Xiao Lezi nodded and turned around.
"Brother Ning. Now Brother Lezi has also found it. Can we leave the palace?" Shui Ling raised her head and asked Yang Ning.
Yang Ning sighed and said, "It's easy for you two to leave the palace now. The key is that I. It's difficult for me to leave the palace. Besides, there are enemies like Meng Tong staring at me. Forget it. I won't talk about this now. I'm going to treat me. Find a suitable opportunity and think of a foolproof way before talking about it. Just be patient and accompany the concubine for a while."
Shui Ling was happy and said, "Okay. I just couldn't bear to leave the Imperial Concubine so soon. By the way, did you go to Fengyi Palace again? The Imperial Concubine asked me to come and ask you what happened. ”
Thinking of the endless love words with Concubine Li last night, Yang Ning couldn't help feeling a little warm. But he still shook his head and said, "I won't go today. Tell the Concubine. Anyway, I won't leave Beijing tomorrow. Another day Go and see her again.”
Yang Ning really wanted to go to Fengyi Palace. But first, he made an appointment with Mou Tai and others to drink. He was afraid that he would not be willing to leave as soon as he entered Concubine Li's warm arms. Second, he could not go too hard and sneaked in the middle of the night. It doesn’t matter if you go there during the day. But if you go there too much, you will inevitably attract attention. You are a fake eunuch. You have to pay more attention.
He watched Shui Ling return to Fengyi Palace in one step and three times. Yang Ning looked at the sky. He was afraid that it would be dark in a while. Yang Ning quickly walked out of the palace.
Back all the way back to his house, Han Shanlin was sweating provoking several servants to place furniture.
Yang Ning said happily: "Uncle Han, I bought this house so quickly. It's so quick."
When Han Shanlin saw Yang Ning coming back, he quickly shouted to the room: "Yu Niang, the young master is back. Come out and serve him."
"Here you." With a crisp sound, Han Yuniang, who looked happy, came out of the house and came to the yard. However, her clothes were still the same as before. She was a little worn, but very clean.
"Brother Yang, you are back. I am commanding a few maids to clean up the house." Han Yuniang said happily.
Han Shanlin frowned and said, "Yu Niang. Remember to call him "Young Master" in the future."
Yang Ning hurriedly said, 'It's okay. It's good to call me brother."
Han Shanlin said to Yang Ning: "Young Master, follow your instructions. I have bought a lot of things. The living room and the house you slept in are almost done. I also bought a few servants. I have seen all of these people. They are all fleeing from the south. Everyone is very honest. See where you are dissatisfied with anything. I'll change it."
Yang Ning walked around and felt very satisfied. The house had been bought by Han Shanlin and was much cleaner and neater than before. The popularity also felt that it was getting better. The house he slept in was also very comfortable. .
"Uncle Han, just arrange it according to your ideas. I absolutely have no objection. If you are short of money, just tell me."
"Oh. By the way, I asked Yu Niang to keep all the money spent on doing these things. Yu Niang. Go and take it for the young master to see it." Han Shanlin hurriedly said to his daughter.
Yang Ning frowned. "Uncle Han. Are you burying me? I invite you to come. Don't you believe you? How can you and your father and daughter not feel wronged? Worrying about being troubled and help me deal with this mess of bad things. .That means you can respect me Yang Ning. If you see me so much in the future, don’t say it again.”
Seeing Yang Ning really angry, Han Shanlin said solemnly: "Young Master, you are so good to us father and daughter. You trust me so much. I, Han Shanlin, are very grateful. I want to repay you for being crushed to pieces. But do Things always have to follow the rules. Now that I am your steward, the account book will naturally be taken by you, the master. Otherwise, how can I manage these servants in the future?"
Yang Ning pondered for a while before nodding, "Okay. Then I'll take a look."
Han Shanlin looked happy and said to Han Yuniang: "Yu Niang, go and bring the account book."
Han Yuniang agreed and ran back to the west courtyard. Soon, she ran out with an account book.
Yang Ning sat on a stone bench under the tree in the yard. He opened the account book and looked at it. The words on the account book were very delicate. The accounts were listed very clearly. When, where, and how much money they spent to buy something. Remember It's clear and clear at a glance.
Yang Ning didn't look carefully at all. He just looked at the remaining silver digits. There were more than 300 taels left in five hundred taels.
Yang Ning quickly closed the account book and said to Han Shanlin: "Uncle Han. I have read the account book. It's very good and very clear. It's just one..."
Yang Ning deliberately paused. Han Shanlin said nervously: "What is it?"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "It's not the best thing I bought. I bought a little less." As he said, Yang Ning took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Han Shanlin, "Uncle Han." Don’t be reluctant to spend money. You can buy everything well. Only by being worthy of the class of this house and not losing my face to Yang Ning.”
Han Shanlin said with some shame: "Young Master, I've recorded it. I'm used to living this poor life. I'm a little reluctant to buy things."
Yang Ning smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. We won't have any hard days in the future. Oh. By the way. Also, remember to buy a few more new clothes for yourself and Yu Niang, and wear good clothes. Don't be difficult. For yourself.”
Han Shanlin was stunned. He looked down at his coarse cloth clothes. He was about to speak, but Yang Ning was already in the forefront: "Uncle Han, this is not for anything else. But for my Yang Ning's face."
Han Shanlin didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "Okay. Everything is listened to the young master."
"Uncle, I'll invite some guests in our house later. I just saw it. Our kitchen has not yet opened. You are like this. You go to Tianranju in front of you and order three tables of the best wine and food with them. Deliver as soon as possible. When we get to our house, we will definitely let them get the best wine and give them more.”
"Okay." Han Shanlin nodded and agreed. But then he seemed to remember something and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Young Master, it would be fine if it was another time. But this point was the busiest time of Tianranju's business. I'm afraid they will be fine for a moment. Can't do it."
Yang Ning smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. When you go, please find the shopkeeper of their lobby first. Let him tell someone named Wu. Or tell them the shopkeeper of the shopkeeper. Just say that it was my Yang Ning treating him. Let them hurry up and do it with them. I’ve talked about our house location. Just come back.”
Han Shanlin hesitated and said, "This...can do it."
Yang Ning nodded and smiled, "It's OK. Don't worry."
"Okay." Han Shanlin agreed and turned around and went half-believingly.
"Yu Niang. You command the servants and maids. Free up the hall. Set up three large tables. Then arrange chairs, wine glasses and chopsticks. The guests I invited may arrive soon."
"So good." Han Yuniang agreed neatly, turned around and called the servant and maid to arrange the arrangement.
In a short while, Han Shanlin came back and said to Yang Ning with an incredible look on his face: "It's really amazing. I heard that I wanted to order three tables of wine and food. The shopkeeper was in a difficult situation. But I said it was your butler, your steward. Yes You asked me to order it. Let him ask the two you mentioned. The shopkeeper went to the backyard to ask for instructions. After a while, he came out. His attitude turned a big turn. It was absolutely fine to agree in one bite. Three tables of the best wine and dishes It will be delivered later. I want to give him a deposit. But he insisted on it. When they said that their boss would ask the young master to pay the bill. Young master. I really didn't expect Tianranju to buy your face like this."
Yang Ning smiled slightly and said to himself: Can you not buy my face? He even pointed at me and supported the scene for her Lan Feifeng.
I met Zhang Siwei today. It was just that. It was just a dog promoted by Gao Gong. I was not even afraid of Gao Gong. Why did I fear him, Zhang Siwei?
Han Yuniang had just arranged the table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. Mou Tai, Ma Gui and others had already entered the house with gifts. Zhang Weinian and a group of guards, Chang Dayong and Du Song, who were fighting against the rebels in the Western Expedition, came. There was a large group of people coming in.
"Haha. Brother Yang. Your house is much better than the mansions of those princes and ministers." Ma Gui looked around and praised.
"Old Ma, you don't know anything about this. This house is the house of Yan Song, the treacherous minister of the previous dynasty. How powerful Yan Song was at that time. Naturally, this house was also extraordinary." Mou Tai said proudly.
Ma Gui laughed and said, "Old Mou, why do you know everything? If you use your ability to drink, you wouldn't have lost to me that night."
Mou Tai stopped doing it. He pointed at Ma Gui and said, "Ha, Lao Ma. You are not authentic. Why do you keep saying the opposite? Whoever drank that day slipped under the table. Finally, the military camp I couldn't go back. I still ran to Yihongyuan for a night. I guess you've forgotten all these."
"Ahem. Lao Mou, why do you say these things in the past? We will see you later." Ma Gui said proudly.
"No problem. Who is afraid of whom?" Mou Tai said without showing any weakness.
Yang Ning said with a hilarious smile: "Dear brothers, let's come in first. Let's have a good drink later."
"Brother Yang, brother, come to congratulate you on this housewarming. My brothers have prepared some gifts together. In order to find it troublesome, I have collected a red envelope. Brothers will take it and buy some furniture or something." Mou Tai said and took out one The bulging red paper bag was handed to Yang Ning.
"Yes, yes, yes. Although brothers have just gotten such a big house, they have to clean up and clean up. The brothers of the Western Expedition Army have benefited from your glory to today. Naturally, I would like to give you a good congratulations on this happy event. Come on. This is ours. The brothers are all poor soldiers. Don’t think that they are too few brothers.” Ma Gui also took out a big red envelope and handed it to Yang Ning.
Yang Ning knew that this was etiquette. He was so kind that he ordered Han Shanlin to accept it.
Everyone entered the house and sat down separately. They happened to sit in three large tables.
"Dear brothers, my house has just been given by the emperor. Many things are not complete. I have not opened a stove. I ordered some wine and food from Tianranju. I will deliver it immediately. Brothers, just let it go." Yang Ning stood up and stood up. He bowed to everyone.
"Haha. Today is mainly to congratulate you. What is not to eat? It just so happened that Tianranju hadn't eaten enough of the fine wine and food that day." Mou Tai said with a smile.
"Brother Yang, I heard from Lao Mou that something happened to you in the Taimiao in the palace this afternoon. You can't even go to Shanxi for this reason. I wanted to go with you." Ma Gui said to Yang Ning with a serious look on his face.
"Yes. Brother Yang. Everyone is very concerned about this matter. Today, the Taimiao is too messy. I didn't figure out what's going on. I heard that the Dongchang, Jinyiwei Town and Fushi Department, and the Censorate want three. The trial of the officers. This matter is a big deal." Mou Tai also worried.
Yang Ning waved his hand indifferently and said, "Brothers, please rest assured. It was his fault that Teng Xiang was the fault of him. He dared to bring a punishment stick into the Taimiao and even regarded the Taimiao as a punishment hall. I went to stop him. I Not only is there no mistakes, but you should have achievements.”
Mou Tai shook his head and said, "It's a bad thing. It's okay if Eunuch Feng is there in the East Factory. Huang Jin, the governor of the yamen of the tutor, had close contacts with Meng Tong. Cheng Wen, the left censor of the Censorate, He was Gao Gong's disciple. This matter was originally a matter of the Dongchang department. But now he wanted to make a three-in-one trial. The matter was probably going to be complicated. It must be Meng Tong, Gao Gong's troublemaker."
At this moment, Tianranju's wine and food were delivered. From the time Hanshanlin ordered the dishes to now, it took only half an hour to make these three tables of banquets that were both delicious and fragrant. Tianranju's speed was indeed fast enough.
"Brothers, I won't talk about this anymore. I won't be in trouble. Let's drink and don't go back tonight." Yang Ning shouted loudly.
"Okay. Don't go back if you're drunk." Everyone responded. The atmosphere in the venue became warm.
Chapter completed!
