The Mo family is a large, irregular house with seven entrances, very close to the imperial city, in a prime location.

This house was given to him by Emperor Kande when he was transferred back to Beijing from the local area, and he was appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although his salary is not low now, if he really wants to buy it, he will have to save it for decades without eating or drinking.

Moreover, there are houses in some areas that cannot be bought with just money.

This house was formerly the residence of Zhenguo Gong Jian's family, but it was later abandoned after all the houses were confiscated.

It sounds a little ominous, but the Jian family was not massacred in the house.

The blame lies in the inadequacy of people's hearts. The house is so innocent.

A hundred years from now, who knows how many of the houses surrounding the imperial city will become haunted houses.

It’s just thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi.

Before giving it to him, the emperor specially asked the Ministry of Works to repair the house.

At first, everyone speculated whether someone else was going to be granted an official title, but they didn't expect that a new minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was finally given the title.

That year was Kant's eleventh year.

In the fifth year of Kant's reign, the emperor called him to the imperial study, gave him the Shangfang Sword, and ordered him to secretly rectify the officialdom in Jiangnan.

In the next six years, he narrowly escaped death and failed to live up to the emperor's favor.

He passed the test of Emperor Kant.

"I never thought that my daughter would marry into the Duke's palace." He sighed softly, "Your Majesty, you know that I and my wife have regarded this daughter as a treasure since she was a child."

Everyone has some doubts in their hearts, don’t you have two sons?

But no one had the sense to interrupt him, and only Minister Min did this.

Mo Qingyang asked, "Does someone have a second daughter?"

Min Hong choked, that's not it.

Mo Qingyang continued to talk to the emperor, "Now that my daughter is going to marry into the Duke's palace, I have to prepare a new dowry. What I prepared originally is not enough."

Emperor Kande smiled and said: "It's true that I have put my beloved in a difficult situation."

"What did your Majesty say? This was a marriage made in heaven." Mo Qingyang said, "So I took advantage of my break yesterday to check the account books with my wife." At this point, he paused again, "I didn't expect..." He With a look of shame on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I made an oversight."

Emperor Kant understood that there were slaves who made false accounts and committed corruption.

Min Hong interjected: "Dingguo Duke's office has not hired me yet, why are you so anxious to prepare the dowry?"

Mo Qingyang looked at him strangely.

"When it comes to children's marriage, there is no way to wait for someone to get a betrothal before starting to prepare a dowry. Even though a certain family's financial resources are small, they have been saving some things since their daughter was born. Doesn't it mean that your Min family's marriage depends on how much the betrothal is? , and then measure the equivalent dowry?"

In fact, many people do this, but when Mo Qingyang said it, why did it seem wrong?

Min Hong tried his best to keep his eyes wide open, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Mo Qingyang lightly dusted his robe, "I just followed Master Min's words."

Min Hong's forehead was throbbing with veins, "The ancients said that if the family manages the country and brings peace to the world, I think Master Mo can't even manage the family well. It is the responsibility of the mother-in-law of the house to provide the accounts, and Master Mo's wife can be seen. You can't marry her. They say that Mr. Mo's wife is a village girl, short-sighted, and jealous. In my opinion, it would be more serious to marry a reliable side house to manage the family home."

Mo Qingyang narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.

Emperor Kant took a deep breath and leaned back slightly.

Even Eunuch Xia, who was serving tea next to him, took a small step back.

Mo Qingyang looked at Min Hong from feet to head with a cold, jade-like face, his huge belly and heavy bags under his eyes.

Old Min couldn't help but tuck his stomach in.

"Master Min will be sixty-six this year."

"I have eaten twenty-six years more than you."

He is a veteran of three dynasties, not a new kid!

Mo Qingyang suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. I just took in the eighteenth house star the day before yesterday. I heard that you are only twenty-eight years old and you are very lucky."

Emperor Kande frowned slightly.

Min Hong concealed his embarrassment, glanced at the emperor secretly, and said with no confidence: "My lord, this is, this is..."

Before he could think of his words, Mo Qingyang said again: "Mrs. Min is so virtuous, and a certain wife really can't keep up with her. It's just that in my opinion, the wives in this family are not very good. Marry a virtuous wife." , you have to be truly virtuous. At your age, I don’t even know how to advise you to cultivate your body. Instead, you waste your money wantonly, just for your own virtuous reputation. I’m afraid that’s not the case... But I hope your wife will be broad-minded and will destroy the house. It’s all done properly, it shouldn’t matter if you’re there or not.”

All she needs to do is make it clear that your wife wants you to die.

Min Hong stamped his feet repeatedly, his face turned red, and he pointed at Mo Qingyang as if he was about to push her over.

"Little Mo Huai!"

Eunuch Xia quickly ordered a small chamberlain to come forward and help the old man.

Mo Qingyang smiled like a beautiful peach in March, and her mouth was like a barrage of firecrackers.

"It's not like a certain family. If you leave a certain person, the family will not be a family. And a certain person has never heard that if a servant of a certain family makes a mistake, he will blame the mistress, put the mistress aside, and marry another side wife. Tube."

"Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Does this mean that whenever someone makes a mistake in the court, it is the fault of the Holy One who failed to supervise him? It is the Holy One's fault. It is time to find another capable person to take this position? I saw that the boss was so happy that he lost his head! Are you going to rebel?!"

Min Hong trembled his fingers, "You, you... you are slandering!"

Emperor Kande and Eunuch Xia looked at each other, their expressions indescribable.

Eunuch Xia winked at Emperor Kande, "This is talking about rebellion. Is it time for you to come forward and say a few words?"

Emperor Kande shook his head slightly, I think this is not a good time to interrupt.

Eunuch Xia lowered his head. Let's just pretend we didn't see it. Anyway, it was the old man who asked for it.

Mo Qingyang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Loyalty can be a lesson? Not necessarily. Seeing the big from the small, who knows what the old man is thinking in his heart."

"Child! Zhu Zi!" Min Hong's eyes were red with anger, and his hands and feet began to tremble, "You actually dare to compare your wife to His Majesty, you are the one who wants to rebel without knowing it!!"

Emperor Kande opened his mouth, probably trying to persuade him to make peace.

Mo Qing continued in a cadence:

"A certain wife is the master of the backyard, and your majesty is the master of the world. The sage said that governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy, and the kitchen is like a king. Don't you know what the sage means?"

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

Min Hong was panting like an ox and his face was red, making several onlookers afraid that he might not be able to catch his breath.

Mo Qingyang laughed and stopped being aggressive.

At the same time, it will not be difficult for Emperor Kant.

He cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "I see that Mr. Min's breath is unstable and his legs and feet are shaking. He has been standing here for a long time. It's better to let him go home and rest early."

When Emperor Kande saw the ladder handed over, he was about to speak.

"You, you, you -" Min Hong rushed towards Mo Qingyang, "Little Mo Huai, you are going too far!"

Mo Qingyang stepped aside nimbly.

Min Hong's fat body rolled on the ground. The little chamberlain who had supported him hurried forward, but Min Hong's round belly and thin legs caused him to throw him together.

Mo Qingyang lowered his eyes, his eyes were cold, but his face didn't show it, and he sighed: "My lord, why are you doing this?"

Seeing the right opportunity, Eunuch Xia stepped forward together with the three young chamberlains. They helped, dragged and dragged Min Hong out of the palace, who was still shouting, and forced him out of the palace.

Emperor Kande watched a good show and felt quite happy.

"Why do I feel that this old man Min is always at odds with you?"
