Chapter 252 Xishan Courtyard
Chapter 252 Xishan Courtyard
Lin Su has been very leisurely for the past seven days, and he is still in the bathing period.
Outside the capital, the refugees suddenly found a job, and it was an incomparably good job. The refugees dispersed, built houses and nests in the wilderness by the river embankment, settled down, and lived a decent life with a family and a room. day.
The refugees have started to live seriously, are they still refugees?
Even if a million displaced persons only provide employment for 10 people, it will be almost completely transformed.
As soon as this move came out, the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs was stunned.
What surprised them even more was that all industries in the capital are thriving, why?Millions of refugees have money, and they use it to buy things. The sales of various daily necessities are booming. Soaps need to use all kinds of oily meat. Pig offal and pig intestines, which are usually not wanted by anyone, are all in short supply. In between, there are countless commodity transactions.
Zhang Haoran took office in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he should be rewarded for accomplishing such a major event at the first time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported to the imperial court, and Zhang Haoran's official position was promoted by two ranks, from the eighth rank to the seventh rank.Facts have proved that, as long as the Lin brothers are not involved, the officialdom is still normal, and rewards are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punishments are punished for demerits...
Comrade Xiaozhang was so happy that he asked Lin Su for a drink, saying that others were bragging and flattering to be promoted. Look at me, brother, I was promoted based on practical deeds!
After boasting, I will sigh, in fact, this credit should belong to you, but I also know that you don’t need to talk about the matters related to your promotion. Stop tossing... Forget it, you'd better stay here honestly, and when I become a high-ranking official, brother, I will upgrade you to three levels in a row to satisfy your addiction...
Lin Su glared, I am currently at the fifth rank, and you are still at the seventh rank even if you have been promoted two levels. You are so arrogant in front of the fifth rank official, do you understand some official etiquette?
Zhang Haoran also stared, "I'm Yi Yu's elder brother, don't show off in front of your brother!"
Oh, too!Forget it...
Zhang Haoran added, brother, I was promoted today. It is customary in official circles to congratulate colleagues. Let’s forget about those old bureaucrats. You might as well call a few new bureaucrats. I have already made an appointment with Huo Qi, Li Yangxin, and Qiu Mochi. Go to a wonderful place.You have to go.
Where to go?
Xishan Bieyuan!
Lin Su was slightly taken aback, Xishan Bieyuan?Princess Yufeng's palace in Xishan?Speaking of dinner tonight, do you mean it, or does it mean Her Royal Highness?
Zhang Haoran smiled lightly, vaguely... Naturally, she meant it!
Xifeng Villa and Green Willow Villa have a good cooperation, and the future is promising. Originally, there was a need to celebrate, so the two things should be done together.
In addition, the three talented women will come...
Lin Su rolled his eyes at Zhang Haoran's meaningful words: "Where's your sister? Will she go or not..." Zhang Yiyu's little girl has changed a bit, and now she's starting to take care of his business. It's Zhang Yiyu who doesn't like meeting the three talented women Yes, I have warned him several times by insinuating...
"My younger sister just returned to the Bishui Sect. I heard that the Zongmen Grand Competition is about to start, and she will compete for candidates for the Yaochi meeting next year." There is a reason, which is to eliminate the possibility of Bishuizong's attack on him. She didn't mention this reason. What she told her brother was the previous reason: Zongmen Dabi.
Next year's Fairyland Fair!
Lin Su was slightly moved. Top disciples like Zhang Yiyu were all competing for the Yaochi Club, and he was holding a Yaochi Fairy Token in his hand. In this meeting, peerless disciples from the entire 72 sects of the Great Cang would be gathered. Xianzong's best chance, should we take a look?
This idea flashed by, Lin Su nodded and agreed.
This time when he entered the capital, he met Bi Xuanji, and only met Lu Youwei halfway (when they met, Lu Youwei was dying and unconscious), and he had never met Huo Qi, Li Yangxin, and Qiu Mochi. We should see you.
Anyway, everyone in the world knew about his relationship with Zhang Haoran. Zhang Haoran was promoted, and he came to congratulate him, but no one could say that he shouldn't.
Theoretically, no one else can be implicated.
In the afternoon, Lin Su and Zhang Haoran left the inn and went to Xishan. Although it was a dinner party, literati, how could they eat for the sake of eating?Going ahead of time, admiring the wonderful scenery of Xishan Mountain and peerless beauties, is the demeanor of a young literati, isn't it?
Those who grab a bite to eat are called rice buckets.
Unknowingly, summer is almost over, and only during the noon period does it show its summer charm again, what kind of charm?The girl's clothes are very short, full of room for imagination...
Someone in front came over, it was a man in white, and behind him was a group of people, all of them in luxurious clothes, walking straight towards Lin Su.
Zhang Haoran's eyes froze slightly, and a voice came to Lin Su's ears: Li Xiang, the head of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, is not a simple character.
Yes, it was Li Xiang who came.
Li Xiang smiled all the way, and when he was about ten feet away from Lin Su, he stopped and bowed deeply: "Third Young Master!"
Lin Su looked at him calmly, as if he didn't know him.
"Third Young Master, do you still remember Li?"
"Sorry, I forgot!"
Li Xiang was slightly taken aback, but as a businessman, he reacted very quickly. He introduced himself: "Li Xiang from the Chamber of Commerce in the capital city, I had the honor to invite the third son once a few days ago. The third son does not dislike my merchant. It is a humble honor to attend the appointment with pleasure..."
"Oh, I remember! That time when Zhao Xun plotted against Zhang Wenyuan, you were the one who set the bridge." Lin Su said indifferently: "Today Li Huishou came, who do you want to plot against?"
...the audience is quiet!
Li Xiang's face was full of confusion, and the group of people behind him were all confused...
Zhao Xun plotting against Zhang Wenyuan?Are you really not afraid of killing both adults Zhao and Zhang?Who in the entire capital doesn't know that that incident was essentially Zhao Xun getting into your crotch?
The beauty of this matter is that everyone knows that the fifth son of the Zhang family was actually killed by Lin Su, but no one can blame him for the slightest reason. Even His Majesty the Emperor can only punish Zhao Xun. Up to now, the knot between Zhang and Zhao has not been untied...
Li Xiang laughed: "Young master, you are joking. Today Li came here, and he just sincerely invited you to drink..."
Lin Su shook his head straight away: "Li Huishou, I really dare not drink your wine! Last time, because of your banquet, Zhang Wugong died tragically, which made me feel lingering... The court is deep, I dare not dare, let me leave Farewell!"
He politely greeted Li Xiang with his hands clasped together, and walked past Li Xiang.
Li Xiang's face was full of bewilderment, they went far away, and Li Xiang's face gradually turned livid...
This bastard bastard, if you don't get a trick, you won't get a trick. What do you mean by saying this?Why do I listen, it seems that I, Li Xiang, are just messing with the situation in the court?
The conscience of heaven and earth, the crap stirrer in court, who else but you?
I?Which dish do I count? I...
There he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Zhang Haoran also wanted to cry, but I said, why do you hate me so much?The matter of Zhao Xun killing Zhang Wenyuan's five sons has already subsided. You still have to pick it out and provoke the two adults to do it?You think they don't hate you enough, do you?
Not really!Lin Su said: "I think the Zhang family is a bit too quiet. Since I stepped into the capital, why haven't I seen anything happen to him?"
"You really want him to make a big move against you?"
"Yeah, have you ever heard a saying? Opportunity...is born in motion."
Dealing with Zhang Wenyuan has always been his goal, but it is not so easy to deal with a person of the level of Minister of the Ministry of War. If Zhang Wenyuan doesn't move, he has no chance. As long as he moves, there will be opportunities. Since Lin Su won the number one scholar, he has not made any moves at all.Could it be that Master Shangshu of the Ministry of War is also aware of current affairs and knows that Lin Su cannot be suppressed, so he just lies flat?
"Zhang Wenyuan is also very subtle at the moment..." Zhang Haoran replied: "He probably doesn't dare to cause trouble."
What do you mean?
Zhang Haoran sent him a key message...
Zhang Wenyuan's eldest son, Zhang Chun, was promoted to the magistrate of Xizhou. what the hell.
Zhang Chun was promoted?
Lin Su said: "When did it happen?"
"On the third day after the Jinshi Banquet." Zhang Haoran lowered his voice: "Someone said that this is His Majesty's compensation for Zhang Hong's dismissal."
Lin Su's eyes suddenly lit up...
Zhang Hong was abolished in the hands of the Confucian Temple beaters!
Zhang Hong was abolished by the watchman, which was equivalent to a resounding slap in the face to His Majesty - His Majesty just appointed Zhang Hong as a Jinshi by the imperial pen in front of him, and then he was crippled by the watchman.
No one can retaliate against the beater, but he can compensate the victim...
His Majesty will promote Zhang Chun ten days later, two ranks in a row!
This thing is a bit fun!
Is His Majesty expressing his protest in a tactful way?
Or simply to comfort Zhang Wenyuan?
Suddenly, Lin Su's heart moved, and a past event came to mind...
When he came to the capital this time, the Supervision Department Zhu Shiyun immediately gave him a task: Xizhou left the mansion, and a hundred gentry petitioned the mansion, you go to find out the relevant matters...
This sounds normal at first, but now that I think about it, it's really interesting...
Isn't Xizhou the place where Zhang Chun took office?
how?As soon as Zhang Chun took office, did the gentry inform the government?The supervisory department sent himself to the place where Zhang Chun worked to conduct supervision?
Could it be that Zhang Wenyuan has already made a move, but he is just a fool and didn't realize it at all?
Um!Well!
Let me go to Zhang Chun's territory to handle the case...
In your opinion, you are inviting the king into the urn, but how do you know that it is not leading the wolf into the house?
His mind was spinning, but his face was very calm, and he followed Zhang Haoran to the west mountain...
No one noticed that in the grass behind them, a vague figure suddenly solidified, returned to Li Xiang's side, and reported to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang got up and went to the third prince's Prince Ping Mansion.
Yes, the person who asked him to invite Lin Su was Deng Nan, Marquis of Dingzhou, and Marquis of Dingzhou was currently in the residence of the Third Prince.
In the third prince's house, there was another person, a young man with a haughty look. Everyone else was standing, but he was the only one who sat face to face with the third prince, without any disadvantage.
There are only two kinds of people who can sit face to face with the prince of a dynasty, the courtiers, and the children of the Holy Family.
This person is Li Xu, a direct descendant of the Dao Sheng Sheng family.
Xu, the day of Dongsheng, he is also worthy of this name, wherever he goes, there is a round of red sun, and everyone revolves around him, including the prince of the first dynasty!
"Report to His Highness Prince Ping!" Li Xiang knelt down: "This kid refuses to go to the banquet."
reject?The third prince's face froze: "You didn't report the name of Marquis of Dingzhou?"
Marquis of Dingzhou?In the eyes of this kid, Dingzhou Hou is not a good fart at all?Li Xiang thought so in his heart, but he could only say something different. This kid is very smart. He knew what we were talking to him about, so he directly refused without leaving a word, even if he reported the news to Lord Marquis. The big name is of no help, unless His Highness's name is reported, but His Highness's name is not suitable to be disclosed at this time...
The third prince: "What a ignorant thing, where is he?"
"He went to Xishan together with Zhang Haoran! Tonight, Her Royal Highness Princess Yufeng will host a banquet in the Xishan courtyard..."
The third prince's eyes shine brightly...
Princess Yufeng hosted a banquet?
Well!
Now that we have gathered together, let's do everything tonight, clean it up thoroughly, so as not to have long nights and dreams
……
Xishan Bieyuan is located on the north side of Xishan Mountain. The terrain is high. The north is open and boundless. The cool wind blows and cools the bones. It is the best place to escape the heat in summer. When the late emperor was alive, he would bring the queen here every year. At that time, Princess Yufeng had a feeling of home here, and her father doted on her and gave her this palace.
Now, both the father, the queen, and the queen have passed away, and this palace no longer feels like home. Princess Yufeng sits in the old pavilion, looking into the distance, as if recalling her childhood.
"Your Highness, Miss Xie Xiaoyan is here."
"Oh, please!" Princess Yufeng woke up from the pavilion as if awakened from a dream, and came to the living room above the lotus pond. This living room is extremely elegant and occupies a huge area. It has been extinct for a long time, but the lotus in the villa comes from the north, the variety is different, and it is still as beautiful as fire.
Xie Xiaoyan dressed in blue and came in accompanied by a girl, and wished Princess Yufeng a blessing: "Princess sister, your lotus pond lotus is really extraordinary, can you invite Mr. Lin today? Ask him to give you a lotus pond title poem."
"Please, please, but I don't know if Mr. Lin will appreciate your face." The princess smiled slightly.
"Don't worry! He will definitely come if you invite him. As far as Xiaoyan knows, our Mr. Lin may not be able to invite high-ranking officials, but beautiful women must be able to..." Xie Xiaoyan smiled and said, "What about Xuanji and Youwei?" ? They lived close together, but came late?"
As soon as the words fell, Bi Xuanji's voice came from behind: "Look at what time it is now? It's just late! It's not that we came late, but you came too early! Tell me, why is it so early?"
Xie Xiaoyan sighed deeply: "Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death! I miss Mr. Lin day and night, and when I heard that he might come over, my heart skipped a beat. I always want to see him sooner... How? Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Lu Youwei behind her and Her Royal Highness in front of her all blushed. Xie Xiaoyan, you are too straightforward, right?
Xie Xiaoyan giggled: "Are you talking about what's on your mind? Youwei, you blushed, I understand, sister princess, why are you blushing too..."
The princess glared at her fiercely: "Xiaoyan, I warn you! You can say whatever you want to say at this time, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense when outsiders are present."
"I know!" Xie Xiaoyan sat down opposite her: "Sister Princess, I heard that you and Young Master Lin have become partners and made a lot of money. How about some good tea?"
A maid brought a tray with four cups of tea on it, and walked along the corridor...
