Su Qin and Meng Ting took a carriage to find Wu Jing. They arrived at the shore of Mingjian Lake. It was the warm afternoon sun and everything seemed so bright and warm, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Su Qin went straight to Tingfengxuan.

, he particularly liked that building and the nearby scenery, so he wanted to take a look at it immediately.

Although it is already early winter, the pines and cypresses and other trees by Mingjian Lake are still lush and green, the lake is clear and rippling, and the scenery is intoxicating. Tingfengxuan still stands on the east bank of Mingjian Lake, although it has been nearly three years.

, Tingfengxuan has not changed much, it remains majestic.

Su Qin and Meng Ting walked for a while by the lake first. Meng Ting saw this kind of large private garden scenery for the first time, which was very novel. She pointed at the courtyards hidden among the lush trees around the lake, and she was very excited. The lakeside scenery

The buildings everywhere have their own characteristics, some are tall and majestic, some are small and delicate, they match and set off each other, and they are obviously works of great ingenuity.

Wu Jing was instructing the maids and servants to tidy up several courtyards by the lake. When he heard that his master Su Qin had arrived, he hurriedly asked everyone to stop what they were doing and asked them to go to the lobby on the first floor of Tingfengxuan to wait for his master.

of instruction.

Su Qin and Meng Ting walked around for an hour before returning to Tingfengxuan. Su Qin saw that Meng Ting liked Mingjian Lake and the surrounding scenery so much, so he discussed with her to name the garden Mingjian Garden. After Meng Ting heard this,

He praised Su Qin for being smart and talented. The two of them walked around, talked and laughed, feeling very happy and enjoying the rare leisure time in life.

When the two of them arrived in the lobby on the first floor of Tingfengxuan, Su Qin found that there were hundreds of people gathered in the hall. Some of them were handymen, some were maids, and what's more, even the sixteen-year-old oiran originally raised by Xu Gao

Chong, surprisingly, is also on the list.

Most of these female favorites have changed, except for the two courtesans named Xinghua and Sophora japonica from back then. They had drank with Su Qin back then, so when they saw Su Qin, they bowed to Su Qin one after another. Those newly replaced

Su Qin did not recognize the new oiran, but when these female favorites heard that this was the new master's family, they all eagerly came forward to greet him.

Meng Ting couldn't help but frown when she saw these beautifully dressed women. She said to herself: "How come these women are dressed up so gorgeously? They really lack some basic knowledge about makeup. The saying is that too much is not enough. Excessive makeup will make the viewer sick.

Boredom."

When Su Qin saw these people, he was surprised: Why haven't these oirans been sent away yet? He didn't know how to respond to them, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Wu Jing stepped forward to report the process of tidying up the garden. Seeing that it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk in front of everyone in the lobby, Su Qin asked him, himself and Meng Ting to go into another small hall connected to the lobby to talk.

Wu Jing reported to Su Qin in detail. What he meant was that the original staff in the garden were mixed, so it was better to fire some people and retain only half of them.

Su Qin thought for a while and said: "You might as well keep some more. Except for the leaders who had close relations with the Lu Tong family before, keep all the other maids and servants you can. You can also choose some from among them."

Reliable people will be promoted to the new leader."

Wu Jingcheng nodded and replied: "The Prime Minister is tolerant enough. This is a favor to them. I will definitely inform these people of the Prime Minister's kindness."

Su Qin then ordered: "This place will be named Mingjian Garden from now on. You will be a big housekeeper for the time being and take care of things here, but it is best not to make decisions on everything without authorization."

Wu Jing replied: "How dare you, young man, make your own decisions? From now on, you should consult Prime Minister Su more often on all matters big and small."

Wu Jing actually had one thing in mind that he wanted to explain to Su Qin. He felt that now was an opportunity, so he said to Su Qin: "I have followed the prime minister for many years, and I have worked hard without any credit. I wonder if the prime minister is satisfied with my performance?"

Su Qin stared at Wu Jing and understood what he wanted to say from his uncertain words. However, he had deliberately spared Wu Jing from the beginning. He waited for Wu Jing to express his confusion.

.Therefore, Su Qin said "hmm" at this time and did not answer clearly.

Wu Jing pursed his lips, calmed down, and said: "I don't know if the Prime Minister has any opinions on me, but there is one thing that I don't understand, and that is why after the Prime Minister returned to Luoyang this time, everyone got rewards, but not

Where’s my share?”

Su Qin smiled secretly in his heart and said, "So you Wu Jing are not a fool either. You can see how I treat you differently."

Meng Ting knew nothing about this matter. She looked at Su Qin with a questioning look in her eyes, as if to say: "It's true, Wu Jing has never received any reward? What's going on?"

When Su Qin heard that Wu Jing had made this clear, he couldn't help but sullen, snorted loudly, and said, "You should know the reason yourself. Do you need me to explain it clearly?"

Wu Jing scratched his head and muttered: "I guess it was because I wanted to abandon the Prime Minister by the Yishui River that year, which made the Prime Minister feel resentful. However, since then, I have never had second thoughts about the Prime Minister and have been working hard to take care of the logistics.

I never dare to slack off when it comes to chores. I hope the Prime Minister will remember my loyalty and forgive me for my mistakes."

Su Qin gave Wu Jing a hard look and criticized him: "When I was at the bank of Yishui River, it was the most difficult time in my life, but you wanted to abandon me while I was in trouble. Wouldn't it make me feel chilled?

How can I trust you completely again? This kind of behavior that adds insult to injury is the most disgusting!"

Wu Jing didn't expect that Su Qin would still be furious when he mentioned the old events of the year. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He deeply regretted his behavior in asking for rewards. He thought to himself: "Just now, Prime Minister Su had already allowed himself to be Mingjianyuan's employee for the time being."

You are already a great housekeeper, why should you come up with something again? The result will be that you steal the chicken but lose the rice."

He was frightened and stammered: "Young man, you deserve to die. I was just confused at that time! Besides, I also hoped to force the Prime Minister to return to Luoyang, so I took this step."

He kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and repeatedly pointed to the sky and swore: "My loyalty to the Prime Minister has never changed, and the world can learn from this!"

Meng Ting also heard some clues from the conversation between the two people. She couldn't help but interjected: "This is because you, Wu Jing, are too stupid and reckless. If you have anything to say, please tell me in person. Why did you come up with that bad idea and put someone in a desperate situation?"

Where’s the dick?”

Su Qin was furious when he talked about what happened back then, and cursed: "I think you begged for mercy later, and took the initiative to make up for your mistakes diligently, so I didn't hold you accountable. It's good for you, now you dare to ask me for credit and ask for

Reward, I can't wait to let you go away right away, stay far away from me."

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing didn't expect that the wish he had been holding back in his heart to ask for a reward would make Su Qin so unhappy and drive him away after he expressed it. He had been following Su Qin for a long time, how could he just leave? After leaving Su Qin,

Where can he find the position of the great steward?

At this time, Wu Jing no longer wanted to be rewarded. He just asked for Su Qin's mercy and allowed him to stay by his side and continue doing his own thing. He simply begged to the end, and he was very cruel.

He opened his bow left and right, giving himself five or six big mouths.

While Wu Jing was beating himself up, he said: "Damn you, I have always been lucky and wanted to excuse the betrayal back then. I haven't formally apologized to the Prime Minister yet. Today I kneel here and let the Prime Minister punish me.

I beg the Prime Minister to be especially kind and not to drive the little one out of the house."

Su Qin looked at Wu Jing, feeling that he had learned a lesson from him, and his expression softened. Meng Ting had been close to Su Qin for a long time, so she naturally knew what Su Qin was thinking, so she found a step for Su Qin to get down.

Meng Ting said: "Wu Jing was really hateful back then, but when he took care of the logistical chores, he did his best and was meticulous. Ji Zi might as well just be out of favor with an old friend and bypass him."

Su Qin originally wanted to scold Wu Jingyitong and tell him to be more honest and not to dare to act arbitrarily because he believed in him. Now that Wu Jing has suffered a lot and learned a lesson, he is looking for a reason to forgive him, okay?

Meng Ting said the words to go down the steps. Just when she wanted to sleep, a pillow came!

Su Qin glanced at Meng Ting quietly, with gratitude in his eyes. He restrained his anger and said to Wu Jing: "It's not that I don't know about your hard work, but isn't it what you should do to make up for your mistakes?

?”

When Wu Jing saw that Su Qin no longer insisted on kicking him out, he stopped slapping him in the mouth. He had just slapped him so hard that his cheeks were so red that even his palms were numb.

He replied to Su Qin: "I understand, I don't know the importance of it. I asked the Prime Minister for a reward for no reason. The Prime Minister was right to scold me. I made a big mistake and should make amends for it. Besides, it was the Prime Minister who saved my life from a big thief."

I should be grateful to you. I don’t dare to have any inappropriate thoughts anymore.”

Su Qin saw that Wu Jing was nostalgic for Luoyang, so he took the initiative to help him take Mingjian Garden over. He was busy making arrangements in other places. He just wanted to be a housekeeper, never wanted to leave Luoyang, and traveled around with him. Su Qin thought

: "Everyone has his or her own wishes. Some people find it difficult to leave their homeland, while others like to travel around. There is no need to force it on others."

He felt: "If Wu Jing can be convinced, fearful and dare not do anything wrong, it would be a good arrangement to leave him in Luoyang to manage his property in Luoyang."

He threatened Wu Jing again, picking up what Wu Jing was afraid of and said: "I think you were confused about what happened at the Yishui River back then, so I will forgive you for the time being. If you have evil thoughts again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. Not only will you be

If you are expelled from the government, even Luoyang will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold."

Wu Jing kowtowed again and replied: "You don't dare to do that. Thank you Prime Minister for your forgiveness, and I will never mention the reward again." Su Qin and Meng Ting took a carriage to find Wu Jing, and they arrived at Mingjian.

By the lake, it’s noon

When the sun was warm, everything seemed so bright and warm, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Su Qin came straight to Tingfengxuan. He especially liked that building and the nearby scenery, so he wanted to take a look at it immediately.
