The 683rd chapter Nanjing story (2)

Zhu Hai was taking the little eunuch Shuangxi to the second hall. When he walked to the door, he heard Qian Yiai saying that the cat was lost.

Zhu Hai smiled and said, "Oh? I didn't expect that County Magistrate Qian Da is looking for a cat for people now. You are living a leisurely life!"

Qian Yiai heard someone talking outside the door, and saw that it was Zhu Hai coming, so she hurried out to greet him.

"Your Highness, why are you free to come to me?" Qian Yiai said that and waved his hand to let the yamen runner go out.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Zhu Hai sighed and said, "Hey! I have nothing to do. I am so bored at home. Come out and talk to Zigao!"

Qian Yiai knew that the prince was for the emperor not to ask him to ask about political affairs, but Qian Yiai had no good idea.

"Your Highness, this is also the Emperor's concern for His Highness. After all, wars are raging now, and His Highness has been dealing with government affairs for a short time. Your Majesty is also worried. It will be fine after a few years!"

Zhu Hai also knew that Qian Yiai was comforting himself, but Zhu Hai had no good idea, so he could only watch it one day.

"I won't talk about this. I just came in and heard why you are looking for cats? What's the matter?"

Qian Yiai sighed: "Your Highness, I used to read books at home. I thought the county magistrate was the parents of a county, and his yamen runners were very glorious. But I knew that I had become the one who knew that the county magistrate was such a hard job!"

After Qian Yiai finished speaking, she told me about the fact that Doctor Zheng from the Ministry of Finance just now that she asked him to send someone to find a cat. Zhu Hai laughed after hearing this.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the Qian Caizi, who talked about ancient and modern times, has become a clerk now! Haven't you always looked down on those officials who are inclined to the point of being in power? Why is this the case this time?"

"Hey! Your Highness, you don't know that Lord Zheng is a doctor in the Jiangsu Qingli Department of the Ministry of Finance. He holds the financial subsidy from Shangyuan County. How dare I disrespect him? If he doesn't satisfy him, he will delay the money for three or five months. That will cause big trouble!"

When Zhu Hai saw Qian Yiai looking cautious, he laughed and said, "You, Qian Yiai, are today! I am quite familiar with the Ministry of Finance, and Chen Shangshu also has a good relationship with me. Do I need me to tell you?"

The Ministry of Finance was originally Ma Mingyuan's territory, and the current Shangshu Chen Zilong is even a hard-core princeling party, so Zhu Hai still has some energy in the Ministry of Finance.

But Qian Yiai quickly shook his hand: "No, the official does not want to offend his colleagues in the officialdom. It is good for His Highness to speak for me, but he can never ask them to do other things in the future. It's better to spare me!"

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with when he sees a little ghost. The prince uses his power to obey people and they naturally dare not say anything, but he holds a grudge against Qian Yiai, so it is better to use official rules to do this kind of thing.

Zhu Hai is not a person who knows nothing. He also knows that it is not easy to be a local official, but he has no choice. Qian Yiai is now only from a sixth rank official position, and Zhu Hai can't speak even if he wants to.

"I won't care about it anymore. As for the official position, I can't do anything about it. You are the county magistrate of your father's special scribble. I can't speak from the Organization Department, so I can only rely on you!"

Qian Yiai sighed and nodded. He had been serving as the county magistrate of Shangyuan for a year. In the Ming Dynasty, local officials were given every three years. As long as he was serious about the poor, he would run the development zone well and then give him an excellent grade in three years. At that time, he would beg his father to tell him about his responsibilities and transfer him to another province to become a magistrate or something else, which would be better than being the magistrate of Guo in this capital.

Zhu Hai looked at Qian Yiai. He did not wear official uniforms today, but wore a snow-white silk gown, a snow-white gauze on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He was about to go out at first sight.

"You guy is not in the county government hall today. He is dressed so coquettishly. Will you be happy to go to Nancheng?"

Qian Yiai quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. The wife of the lower official is very powerful. If this is heard by the wife, you won't have to go into the house to sleep tonight!"

Zhu Hai heard Qian Yiai say it funny, and knew that the couple had a very good relationship. After many years of marriage, they did not take a concubine due to Qian Yiai's appearance. This is a clear proof.

"Then what are you going out for? It just so happened that I have nothing to do today, so I will go out for a walk with you!"

"Your Highness, the officials are going out for a banquet today. Your Highness also knows that the financial allocation is insufficient and half of the county needs to be provided. There is no way to give up the officials, so he has to ask the local gentry. Today it is Shen Dahou who invites the officials to have a drink!"

Zhu Hai's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was doing nothing in the East Palace and was so idle that he felt so frustrated that he came out to talk to Qian Yiai today. Now Qian Yiai is going to the banquet, so Zhu Hai also started to think about going with him.

"You are going to the banquet? How about I and you?"

Qian Yiai was very embarrassed when he heard Zhu Hai say this. It was not that he didn't want to take the prince with him, but that there were many people going out to the banquet. It would be bad if someone recognized the prince.

"Your Highness, there are so many people at the banquet, so don't go!"

"This is easy to deal with. Give me your fan and cover the face with a small fan at that time!"

When Qian Yiai saw Zhu Hai insisting on going, she couldn't say, "Okay, if you can't get over, you can't call you Your Highness. How about your cousin at the moment?"

It doesn’t matter. According to seniority, Qian Yiai is actually Zhu Hai’s uncle, so it’s already good to be a cousin.

Zhu Hai and Qian Yiai were handsome, and the temperamental clothes made the young woman scream. The two went out and got into the sedan chair and headed for the better restaurant of the gentry surnamed Shen.

The place where the gentry surnamed Shen’s surname was not in the Nancheng. In the past, the Qinhuai River was a good place for these romantic scholars to wander, but today, Nanjing has changed. Now, high-ranking officials and nobles like to go to Xuanwu Lake outside the northern city to eat and drink.

Xuanwu Lake was originally a royal garden in the Ming Dynasty. There was also a collection of land of the entire Ming Dynasty on the island in the lake. However, after occupying Nanjing, Zhu Hongsan built his own villa in the section close to the imperial city of Xuanwu Lake, which was used to place shameful wives. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan also built more than a dozen small villas, surrounding the royal villas. These villas were used to reward those who were close to the emperor. Although Ma Mingyuan was dismissed from office, he did not return to his hometown in Wuchang, but lived in the small villas.

From ancient times to the present, China has survived around power. In the past, the palace was so strict that most people dare not approach it. Now the emperor can often come to Xuanwu Lake to live, and immediately the land prices on the edge of Xuanwu Lake soared. This place has become a place for new high-ranking officials and nobles to gather.

The address arranged by the gentry surnamed Shen today is outside Jilong Mountain in Beicheng, close to Xuanwu Lake, and you can vaguely see the Royal Villa through the lake, which is the most beautiful place.

This kind of private place is most afraid of meeting acquaintances, but the merchants have already considered it carefully. This restaurant is composed of seven or eight independent two-story buildings, each building is blocked by trees, and the guest's sedan can be carried directly to the front of the building to avoid the embarrassment of greeting acquaintances.

When Zhu Hai and Qian Yiai got out of the sedan chair at the entrance of the building, Zhu Hai looked around. The small building in front of him was built on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. You can see the vast Xuanwu Lake not far away. It is the season of spring and flowers blooming. The breeze on the lake surface blows, waving the weeping willows on the shore, and the willow branches sway with the breeze. It is really fresh and elegant.

Zhu Hai looked at it and praised: "It's indeed a good place! Zigao, this Chen Yuanwai seems to have something to ask for you!"

"There are only a matter of negotiation!" Qian Yiai quickly distinguished.

Zhu Hai smiled faintly and said nothing. Not to mention that the restaurant is so elegantly designed, even this place is worth a lot of money. Zhu Hai's family is right across the lake, so he naturally knows the current land price around Xuanwu Lake. This kind of land next to the lakeside cannot be deposited without 10,000 taels. It seems that the gentry surnamed Chen has really invested a lot today.

Zhu Hai and the other two had just got out of the sedan chair. A man dressed in a dressed in the building came out. After coming out, he bowed to Qian Yiai and said, "Grandmaster is here, please come in!"

At this time, Chen Yuanwai saw a tall young man standing beside Qian Yiai, who was 1.75 meters tall, with a long face like a crown of jade, a slender body, and a long water-blue silk gown. He was so handsome and handsome.

Zhu Hai's appearance and height are inherited from his mother Ma Xiaofang, so Zhu Hai is only twenty years old now, and he is already one head taller than others. It is estimated that he will grow to 1.8 meters tall.

Qian Yiai saw Chen Yuanwai’s questioning gaze and quickly said, “Chen Yuanwai, this is my cousin. I happened to visit today, so I came with me!”

Chen Yuanwai knew Qian Yiai's identity. His father was the Ge Lao Qianqianyi, and his cousin was naturally the nephew of Mr. Qian.

Yuanwai Chen quickly bowed and said, "So it's Mr. Qian, please come in!"

Seeing that Mr. Chen misunderstood his identity, Zhu Hai quickly said, "Mr. Chen, his surname is Ma, is not the son and nephew of the Qian family!"

Chen Yuanwai was even more surprised to hear that Zhu Hai claimed his surname was Ma. Now the most awesome family in Nanjing is the Ma family, and no one knows that the Ma family has two cabinet chiefs. At the same time, Chen Yuanwai also knows that Qian Yiai's sister is the imperial concubine, so this cousin must be from the Ma family.

"It turns out that the young master's surname is Ma, is it with the headmaster of Ma..."

"It's my uncle!" Zhu Hai* had no choice but to turn his uncle into an uncle in order to hide his identity.

This is a big fish. Chen Yuanwai arranged Qian Yiai for dinner today, which was what he wanted. Unexpectedly, a person who was even stronger than Qian Yiai's backstage came. It took no time to get it!

Chen Yuanwai quickly bowed and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Ma, please! Please!" After saying that, he led the way in front and led Zhu Hai, Qian Yiai and the other two into the house.

The people served the young and handsome daughters under the age of 18. When they saw these two young handsome guys entering the house, their eyes lit up. The girl was not in love with her. She didn't like this young and rich and handsome young man, and she looked at them one by one.

Zhu Hai smiled in his eyes and said, "Zigao, have you seen it? These beauties can't walk even if they see you. You must be careful later!"
