[Comprehensive wear] You will get used to it

Yang Yi arrived at Zhongqing Prince's Mansion, and when he got off the carriage, he saw the housekeeper who had gone to pick up people at the horse's head standing beside him.

"Uncle Lin, you are here, please come with me." The housekeeper said.

Yang Yi followed the butler into the yard, walked a few steps and asked, "What's the name of this butler?"

"My surname is Zhang. Uncle Lin can just call me Guanshi Zhang."

"Guard Zhang, I would like to ask, what's the matter with the prince sending me an invitation message?"

"Actually, our lord wanted to invite Uncle Lin to come to the mansion a few days ago, but it just happened that some things happened and he couldn't get away from him, so we delayed until now." Zhang Butler said.

Yang Yi nodded. In fact, he felt strange before. The three of them had a good relationship when they were on the boat. When they parted, Shui Shen and Yao Qinglan also agreed to invite him to play in the mansion. Why did he come to Jia's house? It's been two or three months, but I haven't received an invitation card. Now I can understand that I'm busy fighting for the throne!Except for this battle for the throne, there is nothing that can keep a prince so busy that he doesn't even have time to see someone.

The Zhongqing Palace is much larger than the Grand View Garden, but the buildings inside are far less luxurious than the Grand View Garden. There are no strange mountains and rocks in the huge courtyard, and there are no precious flowers and plants. In the middle is a pavilion and some winding corridors, and the rest is a large lake, which is full of withered lotus leaves left over from summer.

Seeing Yang Yi looking at the withered lotus leaves, Steward Zhang said: "Our lord doesn't like those houses and pavilions that are just beautiful and useless, and we don't like those flowers and trees, so the yard is not decorated much."

"This yard is quite nice, it looks quiet." Yang Yi said against his will.

"That's what our lord said. Our lord always likes to be quiet." Butler Zhang said.

Yang Yi nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and followed Steward Zhang through the garden, passed through a door with hanging flowers, and arrived at the water-sinking outer study.Wu Fu, the boy who opened the door curtain, went in to report, Yao Qinglan ran out after a while, took Yang Yi's hand and walked in, saying, "Come in with me, there are good things inside!"

Yang Yi broke free from his hand, straightened his clothes naturally, and asked, "Do you have any good things you haven't seen?"

"I've never seen this one before. It was dedicated to the emperor by a new foreigner. There are only three in total. One is placed in the emperor's study room for light, one is given to the emperor, and the rest is given to the third child. You don't know How many people in the court want it?" Yao Qinglan didn't care that Yang Yi broke free from his hand, and ran in happily.

In the study, Shui Chen was painting a picture, but he didn't look up when he heard the two people go in.Yao Qinglan ignored him, and directly led Yang Yi to the round table next to her, pointed to a small generator in the shape of a Dutch windmill and said, "That's it, look at this glass ball over here, this thing will glow. Wait, I'll show you how to play."

Saying that, Yao Qinglan picked up a banana fan beside her and fanned it vigorously.The leaves of the windmill spun quickly when the wind blows, and then the light bulb plugged in next to it lit up. The light was about [-] watts, which was very special in the study room with the doors and windows closed. bright.

"Is it fun? Do you think it's bright?" Yao Qinglan asked vigorously fanning the wind.

"It's bright."

"I can't see it now. It's really bright at night. Such a fist-sized glass ball can illuminate the whole room. But it's a bit troublesome to use, and you have to fan it. It's fine in summer." Anyway, let the servants fan the wind, if you want to illuminate it this winter, it will be a living pain." Yao Qinglan said, it is a pity that he is the one who suffers, and the fan in his hand has never stopped, thanks to his strength, Otherwise, anyone who fanned the wind like him would have had sore hands long ago.

After Shui Chen finished drawing, he threw away the brush in his hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Look at how I draw?"

Yao Qinglan stretched out her head to look, and said, "Third brother, you really have no new ideas. What's the point of painting plums when others draw plums in winter?"

"Playing with your things is not for you to draw." Shui Chen said.

Hearing this, Yang Yi thought that the meaning of the painting was for him to see, so he guessed that he would not be invited sooner or later, but it was less than a month since the registration of the new emperor, and he was invited when the government was rectifying the government. Sure enough, this invitation is not meaningful.He thought so, but his face didn't show it. He walked to the desk and pretended to look at it, and said, "Your Majesty is a good painter. You have painted the noble and refined qualities of plum blossoms."

"Noble and refined, why do I look aloof!" Shui Chen tapped his finger on the table and said.

"Plum blossoms are inherently noble, refined and aloof, and what I see is different, but what I see is different from what the prince sees." Yang Yi said, a little confused about what Shui Shen was going to say.

Shui Shen sat down on the stool, took a sip of tea and said, "I think it's the plum blossoms that look different so others can see the difference, and the plum tree I painted is of the aloof type."

Shui Shen painted an old plum tree in the vast snowy sea. The other flowers and plants beside the plum tree were all bent and covered by the wind and snow. Plum blossoms blown away by strong winds.

"It's really lonely."

"This plum tree clearly knows that the heavy snow will bury everything in the world, but it will not back down in the face of the wind and snow. It's a pity that there are only a dozen or so flowers on this plum tree, and these ten or so flowers will not be long. Blown away by the strong wind, this plum tree will eventually be blown away by the strong wind." Shui Chen said.

Yang Yi couldn't figure out what Shui Chen was going to say for a while, so he didn't answer.

At this time, footsteps and a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the study, and then Wu Fu, who was guarding the door, reported: "My lord, Concubine Zhen sent ginseng soup."

Before Shui Shen could speak, the side concubine Zhen spoke coquettishly outside the door, "The prince has been busy with government affairs these days, and I was worried that the prince would be tired, so I specially went to cook ginseng chicken soup myself, and the prince asked me to send it to you." come in!"

That Concubine Zhen's voice was surprisingly charming, and Yang Yi's goose bumps all over his body when he heard it.He rubbed his arms, looked at Shui Chen, and sure enough, Shui Chen's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.Ethical female family members should not go to the outer study room. After all, the outer study room is a place to pick up male guests. If you are not careful, you will bump into it. I don’t know if this concubine Zhen is too favored and forgets the rules, or she is too stupid to know these things at all. rule.

Yao Qinglan also had goosebumps all over her body. He threw away his fan and shook his whole body and whispered to Shui Shen: "This is the Miss Zhen family that the emperor gave you two days ago? It must be beautiful, which is rare in the world, otherwise How come you spoil me so much that you don't even want the rules."

Shui Shen's face darkened even more. He didn't like things between men and women. The women in his backyard were basically decorations. For this concubine Zhen who was forced to accept it, he didn't even touch her, and he didn't know this woman. Why did he go crazy today, he actually came to the study outside.However, Concubine Zhen's ability to come here unimpeded can only show that he still has a lot of nails in the Zhongqing Palace.

"My lord, let this concubine come in!" Outside the study door, Concubine Zhen shouted again delicately.

"Wu Fu, send someone to take her back to the yard, don't come out without my order! In addition, send someone to teach her the rules, next time she steps into the study, she will be handed over to Concubine Liu." Shui Shen Very displeased, he commanded Wu Fu who was standing outside the door.

As soon as Shui Shen finished speaking, there was the sound of a bowl breaking outside, followed by Concubine Zhen's shrill cry, but she didn't cry for long before she was dragged away.

When something like this happened, Shui Chen probably felt that his face was dull, and he sent Yao Qinglan and Yang Yi away not long after.Yang Yi was sitting in the Zhongqing Palace carriage, watching the Zhongqing Palace slowly going away from the window, and suddenly slapped his forehead, he really had been at ease for too long, and he didn't immediately understand the meaning of Shui Shen just now.All that Shui Chen could talk to him about was political affairs, and the only person he could get involved with was the old father Lin Ruhai who was the money bag of the former emperor.

Now that I think about it, the old plum that Shui Shen painted is probably just Lin Ruhai.And the world covered by heavy snow refers to the current situation of the court. The new emperor has already mastered the government affairs, and all those who are interested have already turned to the new emperor, and Lin Ruhai is probably one of them who is not.

Yang Yi frowned and leaned against the wall of the carriage, Shui Chen told him that it was definitely not because of personal feelings, then the only reason should be that the new emperor needed Lin Ruhai to vote for him.Lin Ruhai has served as the Xunyan Censor for so many years, and has been operating in Jiangnan for many years. It seems that he has a lot of things that the new emperor wants to know.Moreover, Lin Ruhai is indeed a good official to the people. When the emperor changes from old to new, a group of officials will definitely disappear. Now the new emperor probably needs manpower urgently and wants to use Lin Ruhai's remaining value.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Yi talked. From the first time he came into contact with Lin Ruhai, he knew that he was an extremely paranoid person. If he could make up his mind not to surrender to the new emperor for the sake of Jia Min, he would almost cut off his descendants. It is estimated that even if he dies, he will not change his mind.It is even more impossible for Shui Chen to ask Yang Yi to persuade him. If Lin Ruhai can listen to Yang Yi's words, then the sun is really coming out from the west.

When the carriage arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, Yang Yi finally decided to just pretend that he didn't understand what Shui Shen said to him today. Anyway, Lin Ruhai is a good official on the surface, and he didn't make any mistakes. If he didn't vote for Xin If the emperor was murdered, the new emperor would just let him die quietly, and he and Lin Daiyu, the two children, would probably not go back and take care of them.Even if the new emperor wants to kill the grass, Yang Yi will be fine anyway.So it's better for him not to worry about those annoying political affairs.

When Yang Yi returned to Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia invited him to her residence, questioned him carefully about what he had done in the Palace of Zhongqing Palace, and asked him to bring Jia Baoyu with him when King Zhongqing invited him next time, and then sent him away.

Back at his residence, before Yang Yi sat on the hot stool, Mrs. Wang sent another girl over, but this time she didn't ask him to ask questions, but asked the girl to send him some good clothes, saying yes Let him wear it when he goes out to meet guests in the future.

After the girl who delivered the clothes left, Nan Ju looked at the bright red and green clothes, and said: "What new clothes, I think this is obviously the old clothes of the second master Bao, and the patterns and colors on them are embroidered just like It looks like a girl's clothes, he's the only man in Jia's mansion who wears this. It's better to throw it away, what do you mean, maybe our uncle wants to wear their old clothes."

"I saw that the clothes were new. I'm afraid they were made a lot of clothes by Second Master Bao a few years ago when he was young." Bei Zhi said. "However, the material of the clothes is pretty good. It's a pity to lose them. It's better to keep them for later or give them away or reward them."

Yang Yi was not interested in Jia Baoyu's clothes, so he waved Bei Zhi to put them away.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Yi fell asleep after playing around in the yard for a while, and fell asleep until the next morning when it was dawn, he was about to call Nanjubeizhi over to help him get up, when there were a few screams outside Voice.

"Dead, come quickly!"

"Someone threw himself into the lake, dead!"

Hearing the sound was not far outside their yard, Yang Yi hurriedly asked Bei Zhi to go outside to see what was going on, how could someone die if they were fine.

Yang Yi got up in a hurry, and just as Nan Ju brushed his hair for him, Bei Zhi hurried back. "Master, it's not good. The girl named Jin Chuan'er who came to deliver things to us last night died. Seeing that the clothes she was wearing were still yesterday's, I'm afraid they were thrown into the water last night."
