As soon as the news spread that Jiang Mingyu was appointed as the Prince's Attendant, it immediately caused a sensation.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit the post house to congratulate me, and the gifts and belongings given to me are countless and dazzling!

There are fine cottons produced in Songhua, which are soft and light; there are colorful silks and satins woven from Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are dazzling; there are fresh grapes from the Western Regions, which are sour and sweet; there are tropical walnuts sent as tribute from other countries, which are crispy and delicious; there are also

There are precious gifts and rare goods produced in various places.

These gifts and goods piled up like a mountain, filling Jiang Mingyu's guesthouse to the brim, leaving almost no place to stay.

Facing this mountain of gifts, Jiang Mingyu felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The dignitaries in the capital were all vying to get to know this new number one scholar and the prince's minister, because everyone knew that in the future, when the prince inherited the throne, the minister would definitely be promoted; if he finally joined the cabinet and became the chief minister, then this

It’s an investment that won’t be a loss no matter what!

For the next fifteen days, Jiang Mingyu had banquets every day and music and music every night.

He went to every restaurant, wine shop, and brothel in the whole capital, and he would be drunk at every banquet.

This rural scholar from a small county town in Nanping has never experienced such a lively and bustling life with wine and meat in the past twenty-seven years of his life. Even before time travel, he had never enjoyed such a luxurious life.

Only today have I finally opened my eyes and tasted the meaty delicacies of the city people.

Every morning, as soon as Jiang Mingyu opened his eyes, a servant would report the time and location of today's banquet.

At noon, someone brought a banquet dress for Jiang Mingyu to put on to show respect for the host.

When Jiang Mingyu was dressed, the carriage was ready, came to greet him, and went straight to the banquet venue.

At the banquet, Jiang Mingyu was placed in the main seat, surrounded by officials and nobles, toasting and drinking, reciting poems and composing poems, making the scene lively and extraordinary.

The fine wines and delicacies are arranged in a long row, and the variety is dazzling and mouth-watering.

Jiang Mingyu grew up in the countryside. Even in his previous life, he had never seen such a luxurious and prosperous life, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

But seeing everyone around him smiling and cheering for refills, Jiang Mingyu could only drink three cups, break the routine and enjoy this long-lost happy time.

After the banquet is over, Jiang Mingyu usually follows his host to the brothel to continue drinking and carousing.

The brothel singers threw themselves into their arms and caressed Jiang Mingyu's heart.

That beautiful face and graceful figure made Jiang Mingyu's heart flutter.

Jiang Mingyu had never experienced love in his life, and for a moment he was somewhat intoxicated by the clouds and rain under the moonlight in front of the flowers.

The graceful and graceful dancing postures and the charming singing prostitutes made Jiang Mingyu's blood boil. The whole night of spring dinner was truly an unforgettable experience in life.

When he woke up, the wine glasses, leftovers and messy clothes scattered on the floor reminded him of the debauchery scene last night. The enjoyment and excitement still lingered in his mind, making Jiang Mingyu almost unable to help but continue to indulge in it.

Jiang Mingyu was completely immersed in these fifteen days of luxurious life and experienced an indescribable pleasure.

This way of enjoying himself was very different from Jiang Mingyu's daily life, making him so intoxicated that he almost forgot himself.

When Jiang Mingyu finally woke up, he realized that he had become accustomed to this kind of dissolute life. He really didn't know when his life would change so drastically!

On the sixteenth day, it was an unexpectedly quiet day, with no more visitors to disturb him. Jiang Mingyu also enjoyed his leisure time and began to count the gifts that filled the room. Not long after lunch, a servant suddenly came to report that the editor of the Hanlin Academy had painted a picture.

Lord Bokotu is visiting!

Only then did Jiang Mingyu remember that in the past half month, many officials had indeed sent people to visit, including people from Prime Minister Mei and Prime Minister Rabbit, but none of them were seen from Prime Minister He. He thought to himself: Sure enough, they are still here.

!

After a while, Master Tu and Butler Zhang, editors of the Hanlin Academy, arrived one after another. Jiang Mingyu welcomed them into the guest room as enthusiastically as last time; but this time he was obviously more knowledgeable and knew to make the pot first.

Serve them with hot tea.

Master Tu saw this room with several mountains of gift boxes stacked higher than a person, and he jokingly said: "Hey, it turns out to be a warehouse!"

"Oh, Mr. Tu is joking..." Butler Zhang then teased: "This is not a warehouse, I think it looks like a grocery store!"

While the three of them were chatting with each other, Jiang Mingyu discovered that they did not come with gifts like the previous guests, but with empty hands. After they came in, they sat down and started talking and laughing.

Jiang Mingyu didn't say much, but felt slightly puzzled and secretly wondered in his heart.

"Is your room full of gifts?" Mr. Tu seemed to know what Jiang Mingyu was thinking, and then said: "Knowing that your room was already packed, we didn't bring any more gifts to cause trouble to you.

Already."

"Late student...to be honest..." Jiang Mingyu said a little shyly: "Looking at the gift boxes in this room, I am really a little scared. I don't know what to do?"

"How do you say this?" Mr. Tu felt a little puzzled! The boy in front of him not only didn't take it seriously that he didn't bring a gift, but was also confused by the gift boxes in the room.

"Tell me my Lord..." Jiang Mingyu continued: "According to law, officials who accept bribes are punishable by death! I was born late because I was afraid..." Before he could finish his words, Tu and Zhang burst into laughter!

"Xianggong Jiang, you are worrying too much!" Butler Zhang continued: "You haven't officially taken up the post yet, so you are not considered an official."

Lord Tu: "Everyone in the civil and military dynasties gives gifts. If you don't accept them, where will you leave them?"

Jiang Mingyu: "I'm sorry for being late, but I'd like to ask you to give me some advice."

"Mr. Jiang is indeed of noble character, and he is worthy of being a talent for helping the world." After the praise, Butler Zhang continued: "For officials in the same dynasty, it is normal to treat each other with courtesy, and it has nothing to do with accepting bribes. Therefore, what the prime minister just said is too harsh!"

Lord Tu also saw that Jiang Mingyu was stupid and stupid, and he was afraid that he would not understand, so he said in plain language: "You are afraid of being punished for accepting bribes, but you are not afraid of offending the civil and military officials of the court by refusing to accept gifts!"

Tu and Zhang, singing together, taught Jiang Mingyu a solid lesson on how to be an official.

"But... Wan Sheng really has nowhere to hide... these gifts!" Jiang Mingyu said slightly awkwardly.

"Hahahaha..." Butler Zhang patted Jiang Mingyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be a place to put it."

Later, Butler Zhang said that he came here on the order of Prime Minister He to take him to visit the newly purchased mansion.

Only then did Jiang Mingyu suddenly realize why the two of them came empty-handed. It turned out that they were not giving gifts, but directly giving them the mansion!

Jiang Mingyu got on the sedan prepared for him by Butler Zhang, and the three of them left the post house and walked all the way to the east of the city. Jiang Mingyu had been in Beijing for more than a month, but he mostly walked around the south of the city;

This is the first time we have arrived.

The east of the city is different from the south of the city. There are mostly large courtyards and mansions here, which are very secluded. In addition to the patrol guards, there are occasional pedestrians on the streets, and most of them are dignitaries in rich clothes, or well-dressed attendants and servants.

The three-person sedan came to a stop in front of the door of a large mansion.

When Jiang Mingyu got off the sedan, he was immediately shocked by the huge red paint door that was nearly 30 feet wide in front of him!

This gatehouse exudes a strong quaint atmosphere. The huge wooden door panel is engraved with gorgeous patterns, and the door knocker inlaid with gold letters shines brightly.

That majestic gate was something Jiang Mingyu had never seen before in his hometown in Dongzhou. In Dongzhou, only the mansions of dignitaries had such magnificent gate towers.

After passing through the gate and walking inside, the scene became even more majestic and majestic, almost making Jiang Mingyu stunned!

First of all, there is a wide and far-reaching courtyard, with red walls and yellow tiles, majestic, spacious and grand layout.

On the left and right sides are exquisite wing rooms with carved doors and windows, which look elegant and luxurious. The front hall and back room are connected to each other and are well-proportioned.

The flowerbeds and ponds in the courtyard are arranged like a fairyland.

The colorful flowers are blooming and emitting charming fragrance. The pond is crystal clear, with lotus leaves floating and koi carps playing in it.

Rockery stone bridges are dotted among them, creating a peaceful and elegant scene.

Jiang Mingyu had only seen such a magnificent three-in mansion in the mansions of dignitaries in the provincial capital of Nanping, but never in his hometown in Dongzhou.

Butler Zhang shouted and called the housekeeper. Then the housekeeper shouted again, and all the slaves in the hospital, a total of eighteen people, put down their work and came to see them!

"From now on, this will be your master, the new top scholar, the Prince's Attendant, Jiang Mingyu, Mr. Jiang!" Butler Zhang extended one hand and pointed his fingers at Jiang Mingyu beside him, and introduced.

"I have met the master!" Lao Xie introduced himself in vernacular: "My last name is Xie and my second name is Xie. Just call me Lao Xie."

"I...I am their owner?" Jiang Mingyu asked with a confused look on his face: "Is this mansion my future new home?"

"Mansion?" Mr. Tu snorted and said with a slight disdain: "This is just an ordinary small house, not a mansion at all!"

"I'm ashamed to say it. Don't be offended by Mr. Jiang..." Butler Zhang explained: "Due to time constraints, the good empty house that can be found in the east of the city within half a month... is this one."

Jiang Mingyu took a breath and asked, "Was this house also gifted to me?"

Butler Zhang: "Yes, Mr. Jiang and your family can stay here from now on."

Jiang Mingyu quickly declined and said, "No, no, no, this house is too big, I can't afford it!"

Master Tu smiled and said: "Is it too big? This is already very common in the capital."

Jiang Mingyu: "Forget it, brocade cloth, rare treasures, and exotic fruits, but this house... is too expensive. I can't afford it if I am born late!"

Butler Zhang: "If Mr. Jiang is really worried, you can use leasing instead..."

When Jiang Mingyu heard this, he became even more frightened! He said bluntly: "How can late students have money to rent? Late students really don't have that much..."

Butler Zhang: "It's not expensive, only twenty taels a month..."

When Jiang Mingyu heard this, his face immediately fell and he shouted: "Two...twenty taels! There really aren't that many late students..."

Lord Tu seemed to have lost his patience and directly persuaded: "Twenty taels is just a fraction of your future income. Don't refuse. Just move here from the post house tomorrow! The rest... just tell Lao Xie to do it.

That’s it.”

Before Jiang Mingyu could figure it out, Lord Tu said again: "Don't make a fuss, you have to adapt to this kind of life in the future. We will go to another place next. When we get there, you will be stunned again!"
