Domineering Daming

Huang Chengyuan didn't dare to delay Zhu Xu, and left after saying a few words.

Zhu Xu walked into the room, Cao Bianjiao followed, and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made. For Yang Fengzhong, a set of glass tableware worth 800 taels is prepared, and his identity is Lu Shilang's nephew. Yang Fengzhong had some problems with Master Lu in the capital before." Friendship, just right."

Zhu Xu just spread out the paper, heard the words and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, get ready, I will send it with you tomorrow, by the way, besides Huang Chengyuan, no one else knows you, right?"

Cao Bianjiao looked slightly stunned, and recalled, "I'm not sure, Mr. Yang has old friends all over the world, so I can't be sure who will come tomorrow."

"It's okay." Zhu Xu picked up the brush and said, "Whether you know each other or not, you have to get to know each other tomorrow, so let's get ready."

"Follow the order." Cao Bianjiao said.

Cao Bianjiao withdrew, and Zhu Xu picked up a pen as he was used to, and wrote today's "travel note".

"Officials are superfluous with things, more than they can imagine, and they can't be changed by the sun..."

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Fengzhong was busy making preparations, and at the same time invited the master of the Jinan Mansion.

"What, no one caught it?" Yang Fengzhong's face changed slightly, and his thin face was full of sternness.

Master Bo looked a little flustered, and said, "My lord, that Gong man was already prepared, and he slipped away before our men arrived."

Yang Fengzhong's eyes were cold and stern, he walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "Leave him alone, send someone to watch at the door, anyone who comes to make trouble today, I will block it, anyone who wants to spoil today's birthday banquet, I will never forgive him lightly!"

"Yes!" The master clerk responded quickly.

Now that the imperial court's "New Deal" is coming down intensively, everyone should be cautious, and people like Yang Fengzhong who are "brilliant" should not be underestimated.

Say it's a birthday, but it's not!

Chapter 643 Absurd Birthday Banquet

Yang Fengzhong is a veteran of the four dynasties who came from the "National War". He is well-known among scholars, and he is also one of the few high-ranking figures nowadays.

He is the capital of Shandong, the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture, and knowing that Governor Huang will come to congratulate him in person, naturally one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Shandong officials mobilized.

Now that Yang Fengzhong's mother's birthday is on her birthday, even if she doesn't want to throw a big feast, there are too many people who come to congratulate her.

In front of the Yang Mansion, there is a lot of traffic, and the flow of people is like weaving. They are all dignitaries, great Confucian masters, ordinary people can't even come to the door!

Standing not far away, Zhu Xu looked at the gate of the Yang Mansion, and said with a smile: "The old house of more than ten years looks very ordinary, doesn't it?"

Cao Bianjiao didn't speak, just bowed slightly.He was holding a large box in his hand carefully. Inside was a complete set of tableware, which cost 800 taels on the market, so he had to handle it with care.

"Master Han, please come inside, please..."

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, you are so radiant if you come..."

"Mr. Tao, please hurry up, please tell the master quickly, come here in person, Mr. Tao is here..."

The front gates of the Yang Mansion seemed to be blocked, and the housekeepers of the Yang Mansion did not touch the ground when they came and went.

Zhu Xu observed it, waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go in and see."

Zhu Xu stepped forward, and the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion greeted him. Looking at Zhu Xu's attire, he said doubtfully, "I don't know which family the young master belongs to. You can register for the young one."

With a snap, Zhu Xu opened the folding fan and said with a smile, "This is the nephew of Mr. Lu in the capital. I know Mrs. Yang has passed her birthday, so I have to come to congratulate her."

The butler was puzzled. After all, there were quite a few people with the surname Lu, but not many were qualified to enter.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, knowing that he wanted to look down on others, and said flatly: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

No matter who it is, just the words "Official Minister" will carefully invite Zhu Xu in. The butler's face suddenly changed, and he said with great joy: "Please, please, young master!"

Fanning the folding fan, Zhu Xu walked coquettishly inside.

After walking a few steps, Yang Fengzhong hunched over and walked over quickly, followed by many people.

Yang Fengzhong looked at Zhu Xu with surprise on his face and said, "My nephew is here on behalf of Lord Lu?"

Zhu Xu took the box from Cao Bianjiao, and said with a smile: "Junior Zhu Muyu, this is a congratulatory gift, please don't dislike Master Yang."

Yang Fengzhong looked at Zhu Xu, asked his servants to accept the gift, and said approvingly: "My nephew is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor, as expected of a family tradition. Please, by the way, tell the old man about Master Lu, I will I haven't seen him for two or three years."

Yang Fengzhong and Lu Daqi are actually not familiar with each other, but now Lu Daqi is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, with a high position and authority, everyone has to be careful, even Yang Fengzhong has the intention of "curry".

The Ministry of Officials, the official hat in charge of the world!

Zhu Xu followed Yang Fengzhong in, looking at the layout of Yang's mansion, and said casually: "Yesterday my uncle sent a letter, telling the younger generation to keep a low profile and not to show off. There were also many changes in the court. Mr. Yuan from the Ministry of Rites was unwell, and he had already handed over the letter." I heard that the emperor is hesitating in the report of retiring from old age and returning home. However, Mr. Yuan is old and his health is really not good. Returning to his hometown is inevitable. Mr. Zhang from Liaodong may be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Punishment will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites , Uncle didn't say much about other arrangements."

Yang Fengzhong's eyes flickered, these alone are enough!

Now there is no news from the imperial court, if it is true, then there is enough time for operation!

The excitement in Yang Fengzhong's heart was uncontrollable, he pulled Zhu Xu into the room quickly and said, "Nephew, sit up, please hurry up, you are welcome with this old man, if you need something, just say it!"

Zhu Xu dealt with it calmly, but his eyes were sizing up Yang Fu.

Bluestone pavement, precious trees, rockery, flowing water, pot picking, seem to be very ordinary, but everything is exquisite to the extreme, it is the kind of luxury that is admired by scholars. Outsiders look confused, insiders are shocked .

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, at this time, it is not easy to find a clean official, even if they all claim to be clean, they are in fact very rare.

Yang Fengzhong arranged Zhu Xu on the table in the main hall, and under the gaze of a group of people, he said loudly: "Nephew, forgive me for the poor hospitality, you sit down first, and in a few days I will go to Beijing in person to meet Lu Shilang in person. apologize……"

Zhu Xu was polite, but looked at the people on the table, he didn't know them, and there were still many vacancies, obviously he hadn't met any real distinguished guests yet.

Before Yang Fengzhong left, the housekeeper came over and whispered in his ear: "My lord, a set of glass tableware, I inquired, at least 800 taels!"

Yang Fengzhong's expression was startled again, he glanced at Zhu Xu quietly, and said in a low voice: "Please treat me well, if you neglect a little, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

The housekeeper naturally knew the dignity of this "Zhu Muyu", so he responded repeatedly.

Zhu Xu could faintly hear something, and smiled without saying a word.

He came today to see how the so-called iconic figure of Qingliu celebrated his old lady's birthday.

How many disaster victims can be fed by the cost of this meal and the gifts received! ?

"Student Chen Zilong, met Master Yang."

Just as Yang Fengzhong was about to leave, Chen Zilong and Liu Rushi came face to face, and Chen Zilong said quite loudly.

Yang Fengzhong knew Chen Zilong. After all, Chen Zilong's father, Chen Suowen, was the Chancellor of Shuntian Prefecture. He was in the same province and participated in politics. He was one level higher than Yang Fengzhong, the magistrate. He suppressed the impatience in his heart and said with a polite smile: " The people are also here, butler, arrange a seat for the people, treat them well, don't neglect, you know?"

As for Liu Rushi, who was dressed in women's clothing, she looked quite dignified and beautiful, but was directly ignored by Yang Fengzhong.

If it was the usual arrangement, Chen Zilong would naturally be very happy, but he caught sight of Zhu Xu from the corner of his eye, could not help but focus his eyes slightly, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Liu Rushi also saw Zhu Xu, her expression was not surprised, she bent slightly to signal that she was going to follow Chen Zilong to the table in the yard.
