Chapter 13 Princess’ Invitation

Even if the emperor's hidden residence is empty, it will not give it to others, and even the ministers in charge of life will not give it to him, because this honor is too great. Chen Wanrong thought it was just an ordinary official residence, but he did not expect it to be Ruizong's hidden residence, so he was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, Ruizong had already prepared the key property deed, and he had already made up his mind to give me the hidden residence, and he also wanted to act like a public discussion among his ministers.

If the emperor said that he had no opinion, it would be wrong. It might be reliable to say that he had no courage. I really didn't expect that Ruizong had such a way, and Chen Wanrong's favorability towards him increased a little. There was only one problem. Chen Wanrong couldn't figure it out no matter what. Why did Ruizong give me such glory?

Give a talisman so that Chen Wanrong will no longer be bullied. Today, he completely solved the problem when he went to court, and there was no need to give the Qiandi again. His mind was so loud that he was in a mess. If he wanted to solve this problem, he had to ask Ruizong.

"Brother, the emperor is very honored to you! Congratulations, congratulations!" Ma Zhizhong and Gao Qingtai congratulated each other in unison.

Zheng Zhou's face flushed and she praised with a smile: "Wanrong, your father-in-law and son have been to the Imperial College, but he didn't even see the emperor, and even though he was in the mansion, the emperor actually gave you the hidden residence. You are really promising!"

Chen Wanrong didn't say anything, and shook his hands around: "No, I have to go to see the emperor, where can I ask for this hidden residence?"

Zheng Zhou immediately opposed: "Wanrong, what fool did you do? How could the emperor reward him? How could he take it back? Just live with peace of mind."

Ma Gao and the other two agreed. Zheng Qing supported Chen Wanrong: "Mom, don't say that. He has no contribution to such an important thing, so he doesn't gossip about it? The court has not been in trouble for many things, so how can the censors bear it when they write memorials one by one?"

Those who know me are the beauty! Chen Wanrong also thought so, and agreed with her words: "Yes. This is exactly what I am worried about. I will go into the palace to see the emperor."

"Brother, you don't have to go." Chen Zairong's voice fell and the person had already come in. Before Chen Wanrong could speak, he said, "Brother, the prince asked me to tell you that there is no reason to take back the things given by the emperor."

After hearing this, Chen Wanrong's mouth opened his head. Li Longji had clearly calculated Chen Wanrong's reaction, so he sent Chen Zairong to pass the message. Li Longji's talent was really amazing. Not only was Chen Wanrong stunned, but everyone in the room was surprised.

Chen Zairong looked at Chen Wanrong and joked: "Brother, are you so stupid?" In his impression, Chen Wanrong was extremely smart and would solve anything in his hands. He rarely saw such at a loss.

"Don't talk nonsense, who is stunned, who is stupid?" Chen Wanrong asked back and sighed: "The prince is too accurate!"

Chen Zairong thrust his chest and said calmly: "What's the matter? It's even more difficult than this. The prince can calculate it clearly. Brother, I didn't tell you. When the prince told me that it was the emperor's residence, I guessed that you wanted to go into the palace to see the emperor resign, let alone a wise person as a wise man."

Chen Wanrong was speechless, and saw Chen Zairong handing a box to Chen Wanrong: "Brother, this is what the prince gave to you."

After taking it, a ball of black stuff was opened. Chen Wanrong shouted: "Graphite? Where did the prince find it?" When Li Longji went to Ning County to announce the imperial edict, Chen Wanrong said he wanted graphite. Li Longji promised to help Chen Wanrong find it. Unexpectedly, he would not be surprised if he saw it so soon.

"Brother, what you want? Then I will report back to the prince." Chen Zairong said: "The prince wants me to tell you another thing, "The prince cannot do business, and you are the only one who is a private official, you can do business. However, the prince said that if you can't do a few things that are beneficial to the country and the people, you will do it according to the rules of the court and stay at home honestly."

Li Longji understood what he meant very well. He was not only giving Chen Wanrong the privilege of doing business as an official, but also putting pressure on Chen Wanrong, which meant that I would help you find graphite, should you do something that would benefit the court, so that I could explain it to all officials.

"I understand. Tell the prince, I will do my best." Chen Wanrong naturally understood what Li Longji meant.

Chen Zairong said, "I'm leaving" and went there in a hurry. Chen Wanrong wanted to ask again why graphite was only one point, but he had to give up.

"Brother, if you say this to the prince, you don't have to worry about doing business in the future. Let go of your hands and feet." Ma Zhizhong smiled so hard that his eyes were only left with a crack.

Gao Dean looked even further: "Brother, why don't you do this? You come to our Gaojiashu. If you don't want to do things, just put a name on it and give you a share of 10%!" Gaojiashu is the largest shop in Chang'an. If he can have a share of 10%, he will become a monetary. He will make 10% of his move, which is really a big deal.

Even the emperor and the prince attached so much importance to Chen Wanrong. If Chen Wanrong was caught by his side, as long as he had a name, it would be a great deal. With his shrewdness, Chen Wanrong had to accept it and hurriedly said: "Brother Gao, you must not. I can't do that kind of thing selling dog meat with the help of sheep."

High-definition Tai looked at Chen Wanrong and laughed: "Brother, I don't eat the meat I send to my mouth, so I'll accept it!"

Ma Zhizhong smiled and scolded the high-definition Tai: "Old Gao, do you think Brother Chen is you, and you are jealous of money? Brother Chen, the gallery has been selected. Do you want to go to the next page?"

Chen Wanrong was really concerned about the gallery and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

"Girl, go and have a look." Zheng Zhou felt sorry for his daughter. When he saw Zheng Qing's reluctant appearance, he ordered.

With this order, it was so open. Zheng Qing smiled, but Chen Wanrong looked stern: "You stay at home, this is our men's business."

Zheng Qing was stunned. Seeing Chen Wanrong's eyes flashing with cunning light, she pursed her lips, held back her smile, twisted Chen Wanrong's arm lightly, and started to complain: "I'm sorry!"

Zheng Zhou smiled and asked, "Where is the location of the shopkeeper Ma?"

"It's in Guangfufang. It's a good location. Not to mention Zhuque Street, but to the south, Yanqing Street, and there are streets on both sides." Ma Zhizhong replied with a smile.

Zheng Zhou said happily: "It's really hard for the boss of the horse." He sent everyone out and asked the servants to come to a carriage. Chen Wanrong helped Zheng Qing up first, and then he got in.

As soon as I got into the car, Zheng Qing looked at her with a smile, pursing her lips, and smiling. Chen Wanrong sat next to her and smiled, which was quite a bit of a prank: "Have you seen a handsome guy before?"

Zheng Qing couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing and said angrily: "Returning a man, can anyone who has not got married be called a man?" This is saying what Chen Wanrong said just now.

Chen Wanrong blurted out without thinking, "Do you want me to become a man soon?"

Zheng Qing's eyes widened, and then she realized that there was something wrong with her words. She covered her face with shame and never dared to look at Chen Wanrong again. However, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but grab her jade hand and scratched her nose lightly: "Do you want it, or don't?"

There will be no girl answering this question. Zheng Qing pushed hard, threw away Chen Wanrong's hands, hurriedly turned around, leaned against the carriage, couldn't stop laughing, and even burst into tears.

Chen Wanrong was so happy that he pulled Zheng Qing's body over. Zheng Qing leaned against Chen Wanrong's shoulder and still laughed. Chen Wanrong stopped talking, but she still laughed.

After a while, the car stopped. Chen Wanrong said that he had arrived, stood up, lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car, helped Zheng Qing get out of the car, took her hand and saw Wu Daozi and Wang Han busy in front of a store.

Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing walked side by side, but the King of Wu did not notice it. They were too focused. Chen Wanrong coughed and made a sarcastic tune: "Oh, Brother Wu, you are the shopkeeper, congratulations!"

Wu Daozi and Wang Han turned their heads and laughed, threw down their work, came up, and bowed: "Brother Chen, I want to ruin me!" The words were filled with joy and couldn't express their happiness.

Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and replied: "Brother Wu, Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work. I'm lazy."

"That's right, you have to be punished to do more work." Wu Daozi was in a good mood and started a joke.

Gao Qingtai smiled and took over the conversation: "Mr. Wu, do you dare to instruct Lord Chen to work? He is an official of the court."

It was a joke, but Wu Daozi and Wang Han were smart and immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Chen, congratulations to Brother Chen!"

They sincerely congratulated Chen Wanrong was also happy: "A small casual official is not worthy of being."

Ma Zhizhong took over the conversation: "Oh, Brother Chen, are you so humble? The emperor has even given you a secret residence. You are already happy, and you are still here to pretend to be humble!"

After saying something, everyone laughed. After laughing, Wang Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Chen, the emperor's hidden residence is both happy and a bit tricky. Think about it, if the hidden residence is not used properly, isn't you sorry to the emperor? This renovation alone is enough for you to bear."

Chen Wanrong was happy, but before he could think of this, he couldn't help but be stunned and touched his forehead and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, I remember it."

High-definition Thai immediately made an idea: "Brother Chen, this is actually not urgent at all. As for utensils, it is not difficult to buy them with money."

Ma Zhizhong's words were a little snatched: "Old Gao, you are standing and talking without a pain in your back. You have to know how important the hidden residence is. If you don't have a few treasures from the government, can you be worthy of the emperor? You can buy these treasures with money, where can you buy them?"

After a word came to an end, everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Daozi. Wang Han patted Wu Daozi's shoulder and said intimately: "Brother Wu, you were just complaining that three paintings a day were not enough for you to draw. Now, you have something to do."

"Yes! Mr. Wu is a talented person, and he will be a treasure with a big pen. Brother Chen, there will be more treasures in your mansion in the future." Gao Qingtai slapped his high-highlights.

Wu Daozi shook his hands: "Shopkeeper Gao has been too rewarded and dare not take it. Brother Chen, if he doesn't dislike it, Wu Daozi is willing to be fine."

After hearing what he said, Chen Wanrong felt dizzy. Wu Daozi's handwriting was so rare. It was already a burning fragrance to have one or two pieces in his life. Now he must have painted many paintings, and ten or eight are absolutely indispensable. Chen Wanrong had not yet visited the mansion, so he had a lot of treasures. Oh my God! When people's luck comes, the city wall can't stop it!

"Sure, certain!" Chen Wanrong couldn't close his mouth.

After laughing and making a fuss, Chen Wanrong looked at it. The front of the shop is Zhuque Street, and the south is Yanqing Street, and both sides are downtown. Ma Zhizhong's eyes are too old. He raised his thumb and praised: "Brother Ma, you really have it. How did you rent such a good seat?"

Ma Zhizhong waved his hand repeatedly: "How could I have such a great face? These are all favors from Lao Gao."

No wonder the two of them came together, so it was like this. Chen Wanrong thanked: "Thank you Brother Gao."

High-definition Tai waved his hand: "Brother Chen, don't thank you first. This place is good, but the price is not low, twice as high as an ordinary store. Monthly silver costs 100 taels of silver, which is expensive!"

This is a prosperous area in Chang'an, every inch of land is worth every price. Although the shore of Qujiang is prosperous, with many people and beautiful scenery, it is not suitable for opening a gallery. However, Zhuque Street is different. It is the main road of Chang'an and the widest street. There are many wealthy people passing by here, and the high-ranking officials and nobles are unknown. As long as the sign is hung, with Wu Daozi's talent and reputation, it is still unpredictable?

Although the monthly price of 100 taels is a bit expensive, if Wu Daozi's reputation is really out, a painting is more than this price. This price is expensive for others, but it is too cheap for Wu Daozi.

"It's worth it!" Chen Wanrong clapped his hands.

Ma Zhizhong then said, "There is another piece of money. This silver will have to be paid for half a year. Six hundred taels of money have been paid. Brother, let's clear the accounts in the future."

This is right, and Chen Wanrong is not polite: "Okay! I'm working on my second brother."

"Brother, since you are satisfied, I will feel relieved. Brother and Lao Gao have something to do, so let's go first." Ma Zhizhong said goodbye.

Chen Wanrong joked: "Brother Ma, what are you busy with? Are you busy sleeping?"

Ma Zhizhong went to bed without any trouble and did not interfere with his subordinates' work. He laughed: "Brother, even if you sleep a lot, you have to stay there. Something happened suddenly, it would be easy to deal with."

This made sense. Chen Wanrong smiled and sent the two away. Looking at the guys who were busy working, he asked with a smile: "Brother Wu, you have hired all the guys, you are very quick."

Wu Daozi smiled and said, "Not my friend is here, they are all brother Wang's people. I'll be transferred here to help organize it."

Wang Han knew that Chen Wanrong wanted to thank him, so he said it first: "Brother Chen, don't be so polite. I also paid the money, and I have a share of the bonus. They have nothing to do, so I asked them to come and help."

Chen Wanrong rolled up his sleeves: "Okay, I won't talk anymore. I'll work!"

Wu Daozi hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Chen, you can get busy here, you don't need to help. You should go and see the house first."

Wang Han immediately agreed, Chen Wanrong shook his hand: "No hurry. The house cannot escape. It's day earlier or day later, it's not the same. I'll handle the drawing first."

Sincerely speaking, Wu Daozi and Wang Han stopped talking. The three of them joined in and started working. Zheng Qing walked around and looked around. He commanded here and gave some guidance there, like a big manager, and was in a row.

It’s strange that things that were originally scattered and clueless were immediately orderly and orderly after her command, and the efficiency was greatly improved. Two points of effort were achieved in one minute.

Chen Wanrong laughed and praised loudly: "I didn't realize that my wife is actually a general! Brother Wu, Brother Wang, you will marry such a lovely son in the future."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth covered his warm little hand. Zheng Qing's pretty face flushed, and he slashed his left hand with a faint slap, gently hit Chen Wanrong's face, and said angrily: "Another nonsense, I'll hit him."

Wu Daozi and Wang Han immediately turned their heads, as if they didn't see them playing. Chen Wanrong seized the opportunity and kissed Zheng Qing on the palm of his hand. He covered his mouth anyway, and was not afraid of others seeing it. Zheng Qing found out, and opened her mouth so much that she opened her mouth wide. She let go of her hand in panic, took a few steps back, stared at Chen Wanrong, and blushed.

With the command of Zheng Qing, the general, the work was much faster and it was done until it was almost dark before giving up. Chen Wanrong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I did a good job today. I'll be the boss. Let's go out to have a few drinks."

Wu Daozi laughed and said, "Brother Chen, I'm just about to linger with you."

Wang Han had no objection, so he decided to make up the matter. After a brief discussion, everyone decided not to go to Wangjianglou. Although there was free food when I went there, I was just embarrassed, so it would be better to go elsewhere.

As soon as the matter was decided, the door was locked and he was about to set off. Only when the horse's hooves were heard, Qing'e came quickly on his horse and turned over and dismounted. Zheng Qing asked, "Qinge, what are you here to do?"

"Oh, Miss, I'll let you come, aren't you allowed me?" Qing'e opened her neck and twisted her neck and asked back.

Chen Wanrong joked: "Who knocked over the vinegar jar? Is it sour? "

Qing'e spat and said angrily: "I'm not serious. Someone invites you to the banquet, and whether you can go or not."

Chen Wanrong didn't believe it, and shook his head and said, "Only those who have the wrong gluten on the back of their necks will believe this kind of thing."

"Forget it if you don't believe it." Qing'e raised her hand and stuffed everything into Chen Wanrong's hands.

Chen Wanrong raised it and saw it. It was an invitation. The best waxed yellow paper shone slightly in the sunset. He opened it and saw it: "Mr. Chen Wanrong Junjian: Tomorrow night, invite friends to enjoy the moon in Leyouyuan Mansion, and invite the Guangshu Supervisor. Li Lingyue."

Who is Li Lingyue? Chen Wanrong had no impression of him at all and shook the invitation: "It's true, I don't even know Li Lingyue, so I actually invited me to the banquet."
