Ever since Yongchen went to the Ministry of Households after he tied up Master Li that day, he hadn't seen this person again.

Probably humiliated by the beating, Mr. Li claimed to be sick after he sobered up, and hid at home all day long, not knowing what he was busy with.

Yongchen listened to the prince's elder brother's advice that night, and he didn't want to break up with such villains right now, he just pretended that he didn't know there was such a person, and he went to the Ministry of Households to deal with the matter of using soldiers, food and grass in Shandong as usual.

The required accounts of the Ministry of War have been submitted, and they are clear.

What the household department has to do is to calculate money and food, reduce other unnecessary expenses, and support the army.

The small officials under the household department are familiar with these things, and there is no hindrance if there is no master.

What's more, the rumor that the seventeenth prince tied up Mr. Li had already spread in the household department, and none of the small officials dared to neglect it.

Therefore, in the past few days, Yong Chen's affairs in the Ministry of Finance have been handled very smoothly.

On this day Yongchen got up early, went into the courtyard and played "Bajiquan", and walked back to Dunben Hall in the faint sunlight of the early morning. He saw that the brother of Prince Dongjian had just been fully dressed, and he was having breakfast will be arranged.

Prince Yongzhan was standing beside the bed curtain, with elegant eyes and elegant attire. He raised his eyes and saw his younger brother, and beckoned him to go over.

Yong Chen leaned over and said with a smile: "In the past few days, I've gotten up earlier every day——I've been ahead of you until today..."

Prince Yongzhan brushed his sweat-drenched black hair from his forehead, and said with a smile, "What did you do with the sweat on this side so early in the morning?" Then he said, "What's the point of arguing for this morning? I'm as old as you When I was in bed, I fell asleep too." As he spoke, he picked up a wet towel from a tray and handed it to Yong Chen, watching him wipe his sweat.

Yongchen first replied: "I went to practice Bajiquan. It was taught by my boxing master before. It's not too late for me to pick it up now." Then he put the wet towel on his face and pressed it hard, He walked up and down bald in a disorderly manner, took a breath, and shouted: "Comfortable!" The towel was removed, and his face was red from rubbing himself.

Prince Yongzhan couldn't see it, and sighed helplessly, "You..." But he didn't blame him, and still smiled: "I have some good news to tell you."

"What's good news?—unless your cough is cured."

Prince Yongzhan knew very well that the younger brother's good words were flattering, although he felt comforted in his heart, his expression was slightly sullen, and he said: "It's better than this news."

"You know it's my brother who lied to me—there is no better news than your cough and shortness of breath." Yong Chen said with a smile like a tongue twister, but it was not a lie.

Although his elder brother was busy with government affairs and looked like a man made of iron, he knew that his elder brother was actually a paper man.

I have been suffering from chronic cough and asthma since I was a child, and I will take good care of it every year, and I will suffer from it in spring and autumn, let alone when I am tired.It's cold and dry in mid-winter now. I've had a cough and wheeze since ten months ago. It lasted for a few days. With more adjustments, the cough is only a little lighter, but it hasn't recovered. When the weather is cold, the cough immediately makes people feel distressed. .

Besides, there are too many to mention the other deficiencies of his prince brother.

For example, there is one called "deficiency wind". The imperial physician said that it is "unhealthy spleen and stomach, lack of source of qi and blood, leading to heart and liver failure." In fact, it is called hypoglycemia in modern times.

Usually, I can't tell it, I only see that his prince's elder brother eats less, and he is quite quiet when he has nothing to do. Although he always holds the silver hand stove with ten fingers, he still feels cold-Yongchen has touched it a few times, and it is as cold as just From the snow nest.

He thought it was because the prince's elder brother had a cold body and was quiet by nature.

There was still one time when his prince elder brother stayed up all night to discuss matters, and lost his appetite for breakfast, so that he fainted—this is how Yong Chen found out.

Since then, Yong Chen has always put a few pieces of nougat in his purse, ready to feed his prince brother at any time—but it has never been used yet.When he was able to eat with the elder brother of the prince, Yong Chen tried his best to make him laugh, but it would be good if he could eat half a bowl more.

So Yong Chen's sentence "Only when the prince's brother recovers from his cough and shortness of breath is good news" sounds glib, but it is not a lie.

Prince Yongzhan didn't talk to his younger brother, he just smiled and said: "A letter from Shandong, saying that your little grandson of Master Cai has been found."

Yong Chen was stunned, and first he lifted his spirits, "Really?"

Prince Yongzhan said: "The letter sent by Fang Ao, he personally sent someone to Beijing and set off overnight. The letter came about half a day earlier than the person, and the little grandson of the Cai family will arrive tonight."

Fang Ao was one of the prince's companions when he was young. He obtained a high degree of fame, served in the central government for several years, was transferred to other places as an official, and was transferred back to Beijing this year. He unexpectedly became a little prince. Assisting the prince in government affairs is an idle job and has no real power.

"This, this is really great." Yong Chen sighed, different from the expected pure joy, there was always a layer of sadness under this joy, which made him unable to laugh.

Prince Yongzhan saw that his expression was quite sad, because he joked: "Is this news better?"

Yong Chen wiped his face, and when he looked again, the sad look had faded away, he just smiled and said: "It's good to have found Master Cai's young grandson; if you recover from coughing and shortness of breath, it will be even better."

Seeing that he refused to change his words, Prince Yongzhan couldn't help laughing softly, this laugh made his chest and throat itchy again, so he turned his back and coughed twice.

Yong Chen looked at his back trembling slightly due to coughing, with worried eyes, stepped forward and patted his back lightly, persuading him: "Good brother, let the imperial doctor come and see you..." For some reason, The elder brother of the prince is against seeing the imperial doctor in every way.

Prince Yongzhan just waved his hand.

Yongchen knew that although the elder brother of the prince seemed to have a good temper, he had made up his mind and would not change his nature, so he had no choice but to give up.

The two had breakfast and were busy with their own affairs.

Yongchen went to the household department again, and checked the accounts clearly a few days ago.

Now as long as there are two more things to do, Yongchen's errand will be done.

One post was posted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, noting the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to prepare for the war.

The second was the food and grass allocated by the treasury and Taicang, and it was transported by various military roads. After arriving in Dongping County, Shandong Province, it was handed over to Liao Bingsheng, the chief of the military roads who commanded the army, and then distributed by the general manager of the camp.

These two things can't be done without the master seal.

All documents issued must be stamped, and the key to open the warehouse must also ask for the palm stamp.

There is no official seal, no key, even if the Minister of the Household Department comes - there is nothing to do.

Seeing the distressed face of the servant below, Yong Chen gritted his teeth and sneered.

It turned out that Mr. Li said that he had avoided illness for several days and was waiting for him here!

But he said that Mr. Li's real name was Li Shangde.

This Li Shangde's grandfather is the same as the grandfather of the fifth prince's father-in-law Li Shangdao.

Li Shangde himself was gifted with a Jinshi background, the same as Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng - he was not good enough, and the emperor rewarded him for his ancestors.

Li Shangde has worked in the household department for more than ten years. He himself is cunning and ruthless, and he also has the backing of his uncle Grande Diange scholar Tian Liyi, the fifth prince Yongdan, and others. , and even call the wind and rain in the household department, and do whatever they want.

You must know that Yuan Keli, the Minister of the Household Department, has only been in office for two years. How can he have a deeper foundation than Li Shangde?

All the small officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs also know that the hard-working chief Li and the flowing minister-Qi Qiwei and Li Shangde follow suit.

This time, if Li Shangde hadn't claimed that he was sick, but had stayed in the household department as a shit-stirring stick, he might not be able to manage the accounts in a few days.

Li House.

There is a stage set up in the backyard, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard from far away.

On the stage, Danjiao babbled and sang, "Laughing at you, I am a monk and layman. I am lucky to have three lives. I am laughing at you and I am in Taolin with poetry. Laughing at you, I am twenty-eight years old. He laughed at you for planting peaches and li xichunguang, but it was hard for yellow rolls and blue lanterns. He laughed at me for not caring about my wealth..."

Li Shangde didn't care whether the libretto was exquisite or not, his squinting eyes only looked at the actor, and then he aroused his cock, and felt a tingling pain in his mouth, and made a "hiss", annoyed and angry.

It turned out that he was slapped twice by Yong Chen that day and lost a tooth. After Li Shangde woke up, he was filled with hatred and anger. Yongchen killed to vent his anger.

However, Lao Gao had a swollen face, missing a tooth, and couldn't speak easily for a while. Li Shangde didn't want to be seen and ridiculed, so he said he was sick at home.

There are also a few Qing guests in his house, but they are designed to accompany him in drinking and having fun, watching plays and acting like mandarin ducks.

Someone in the room asked: "Mr. Li, have you just suffered a loss this time?"

Li Shangde said with a sinister smile, "Let that yellow-mouthed kid run amok for a few days." Then he said: "The butcher knows how to fatten up pigs before killing them—what the hell are you in a hurry for?"

Sure enough, I waited for a few days.

When Yongchen sorts out all the previous accounts and has to use the seal, it is the time for Li Shangde to see the real chapter!

A small official had reported the progress of the household department to Li Shangde, and when he learned that Yongchen's actions were hindered, Li Shangde was in a good mood, and today he called a big show—by inviting Bai Yuji, a well-known opera master in the capital.

On the stage, Bai Yuji was halfway through singing.

Li Shangde couldn't bear it any longer, he shouted, "Reward him!" He asked Bai Yucui to come down to accompany him.

Although Bai Yuji was an actor, he was born with a noble appearance, singing, reciting, acting, and playing are all beautiful to the extreme, which has attracted many powerful people in this capital to be obsessed with him.He is also of a noble nature, and he refuses to be raised in the mansion. Although he is struggling to make a living, he will inevitably struggle, but he never bows his head. He also endured some hardships, but he has survived.

Li Shangde spent a lot of money to hire him for a play, and he had already had the idea of ​​"making the best use of everything".

When the white jade came down for a while, Li Shangde couldn't help chattering and making some embarrassing remarks.

Li Shangde was immediately annoyed by Bai Yuji's refusal to give in.

This Li Shangde had his nose and eyes straight, he wanted to use his strength, when he saw a young servant running in, whispering in his ear: "Master, the Seventeenth Prince has come in person outside, with soldiers..."

"Damn it..." Li Shangde had half untied his waistband, and when he heard such a news, he immediately softened, and while he was messing around with his belt, he scolded: "What a fucking evil nature—— Last time it was Su Zimo, this time it was Bai Yuji, the Seventeenth Lord is at odds with me, isn't he?"
