"You should be diligent in urging Lang Ge'er to study."
Before leaving, Li Yunze told him, "Although I am the examiner, if his article is too bad, even if he is successful, he will be blamed."
"Uncle, please rest assured." Li Wan, who was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, saluted sincerely again, "I will definitely supervise Lang Ge'er's studies."
Li Yunze nodded with clear eyes. He was undoubtedly a good uncle who cared about his nephew.
Returning to Rongxi Hall, Li Yunze was not busy receiving the Shi brothers, but instead invited the master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the Imperial Household.
"Master, this is the garden plan we drew according to the master's request." Several apprentices of the master craftsmen were holding large wooden boxes, which were all filled with their designs.
Li Yunze read through it carefully and looked at it very seriously.
How could there be no Grand View Garden in the world of Dream of Red Mansions? After solving the internal and external troubles, Li Yunze immediately started the preliminary preparation work.
The construction this time was carried out according to the description in the original book, and the project was handed over to the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and the Interior Ministry.
Even though the Jia Mansion has been completely cleaned up, he still doesn't believe those servants.
After all, Lin Ruhai's inheritance was spent in the original work, and the Grand View Garden was built with Lin Daiyu's dowry. The various hands involved in its construction are simply shocking.
Let alone a servant, even Wang Xifeng wouldn't let her get her hands on it.
"Okay." After reading the drawings, Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, "Let's build it this way. Open up the backyards of the mansions on both sides and build a garden. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly after it is completed. Jia Ping went to the accounting room and gave it to all of them.
Each person pays fifty taels of carriage fare."
The master craftsmen left happily with their apprentices. Master Jia was indeed as generous as rumored.
It was only then that Li Yunze slowly met with the two brothers from the Shi family.
"My eldest nephew." Bowling Marquis Shi Nai greeted him carelessly, "You are too busy. Both of us have drank a lot of tea."
Li Yunze wasn't angry at all. He reached out and picked up the tea bowl. "Why are you two here?"
Compared with Shi Nai, who was like a charlatan, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, was obviously much smarter.
He raised his hand to Li Yunze and said, "Grand Master, may I ask why you took away the titles from my two brothers?"
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze chuckled lightly and pointed at Shi Nai, "You are from the old Prince Zhongyi."
Then he pointed at Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, "You are the emperor's man."
As soon as these words came out, the two brothers immediately looked pissed off.
It's really as ugly as Yoneda Kyo.
Shi Nai even asked stupidly, "How did you know?"
He is indeed from the side of King Beijing, but because his ability is too poor and he is a fool, he is just the kind of person who is responsible for waving flags and cheering from the outside. He was not even taken to Iron Network Mountain.
As for Shi Ding, you can tell by looking at his title.
Marquis Zhongjing!
His title was given by the emperor, and it starts with the character "loyalty", which already explains everything.
"People of the Ming Dynasty do not speak secret words." After a few moments of silence in the Hall of Rongxi, Li Yunze stated frankly, "I want to eliminate the remnants of the emperor and the old Prince Zhongyi, and of course I will strip you of your titles."
Shi Nai wanted to argue, but was grabbed by his younger brother.
Shi Ding took two steps forward with a sincere look on his face, "Grand Master, we two brothers are blind. But there are many mistakes. We are all relatives. Even for the sake of the old lady..."
"If it's not a relative, if it's not for the sake of the old lady." Li Yunze nodded slowly, his expression unchanged, "Then it's not that he was stripped of his title, but that he directly borrowed the two heads."
"Do you think this is playing house?"
Putting the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, Li Yunze stood up and frowned, "This is a life-and-death struggle. I finally have the power now, so of course I won't let you and the rest of the party go!"
Shi Nai was frightened and completely at a loss.
However, Shi Ding was confused and simply dragged his brother and knelt down on the ground, "I beg the Grand Master to forgive me. From now on, I, the Shi family, will follow the Grand Master's sect, and I am willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse."
To be able to impress the emperor and even grant him the title of marquis, Shi Ding certainly had some brains.
If they really broke up with each other, Li Yunze would not be able to see their brothers again and would just walk out.
In other words, they are still useful.
Li Yunze sat back again, holding a tea bowl and drinking tea quietly.
Shi Nai was not angry and wanted to shout something, but was held down by Shi Ding. "If you don't want the title passed down by your ancestors, just go and don't cheat me!"
Li Yunze was very happy when he said this.
There really is nothing to talk about with these two brothers. The drama has been done and the main course is about to be served. I believe they will not be so stupid as to refuse.
"How are you, sister Xiangyun, lately?" One sentence revealed Li Yunze's true identity, "Why don't you come to the house to walk around recently? The sisters in the house miss you very much."
Shi Nai was so dumbfounded that he didn't understand. We were talking about business, so why did he suddenly talk about people who have no father or mother?
But Shi Nai suddenly realized it, and then found it ridiculous.
Master Jia, who single-handedly cut off his clan and nobles, attacked his own brother because of a woman.
"Reply to the Grand Master."
Shi Ding saluted respectfully to Li Yunze, "My niece has always admired the grand master, and she can't sleep at night without thinking about food and tea. Shi Ding boldly asked the grand master to show mercy to my eldest niece and take her into the mansion to take care of her."
"What are you talking about?" Shi Nai, who had no eyesight to speak of, shouted dissatisfied, "Xiangyun is also the daughter of the Hou family..."
At this point, Shi Nai couldn't go on because he saw the fire in his brother's eyes!
"you shut up!"
If it weren't for the wrong situation, Shi Ding would have wanted to blast his idiot brother.
If you don’t have the eyesight to see it, let’s not talk about it. You don’t even have the brains.
"Yes." Li Yunze nodded slowly, "In that case, let's send Miss Xiangyun over."
Seeing Li Yunze getting up to leave, Shi Ding had no choice but to bite the bullet and say sincerely, "Dare you ask the Grand Master about the titles of my two brothers..."
"Two nobles in one family is too much. You and your brothers can only retain one title. You can discuss it yourself and inform the inner palace."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shi Xiangyun was originally the direct daughter of the Hou family, and her father was the eldest son of Shi.
Unfortunately, he died early, which resulted in Shi Xiangyun, a cute and naive girl, being bullied a lot in the Shi family.
He even went so far as to earn money by doing needlework.
Li Yunze, who has always been affectionate and affectionate, of course wanted to vent his anger on Sister Xiangyun, so he just let the two brothers fight.
After the battle was over, the Shi family dispersed, leaving only an empty title and nothing else.
The sisters of the Jia family are either in Gaole or on the road to Gaole all day long.
After lunch, a large group of girls gathered at Rongguo Mansion for a poetry meeting.
Li Yunze did not go in, but waited at the door for a while, and saw Fu Qiufang, who had been coming more and more frequently recently.
Ever since he really took the seat of Jing Zhaoyin, Fu Shi, who felt like smoke was already rising from his ancestral grave, began to urge his girl to play at Jia's house every day.
Not for anything else, just to be seen by Taishi Jia.
Whenever Master Jia falls in love with his own girl, the ancestral tomb will not smoke, but will be on fire.
In the same way, only the position of Jingzhao Yin that he holds as Fu Shi can truly hold his position securely.
Fu Qiufang is not young anymore. In the modern world, she can still be called a little princess, but in the world of Dream of Red Mansions, she is a proper older unmarried young woman.
She also had a good sense of Li Yunze and felt that he was indeed a hero among men, so she did not reject him too much.
Moreover, among the girls of the Jia family, except for Wang Xifeng who occasionally made sarcastic remarks, the others were very enthusiastic.
He even took the initiative to create opportunities for her to be alone with Li Yunze.
Lin Daiyu had sharp eyes and inadvertently glanced at the entrance of the courtyard and saw Li Yunze standing there.
Following his line of sight, I immediately understood.
'I can eat from the bowl and look at the pot all day long, and I'm not afraid of being stuffed to death.'
Naturally, there is still some sourness in my heart, but it is definitely not as strong and sour as Sister Feng's.
Rolling his eyes, he stood up and took Fu Qiufang's little hand, "Sister Fu, come with me for a walk."
Everyone didn't take it seriously. This kind of situation is usually caused by urine escape.
Fu Qiufang liked this girl who was like a fairy falling into the mortal world, and left with her with a smile.
The two left the yard and went to the garden behind.
Just as he was about to go around the rockery, he met Li Yunze on the trail.
"Why are you here?" Li Yunze, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looked surprised. "Aren't you having a drink?"
‘You’re really good at acting.’ If we hadn’t met him before, Sister Lin would have almost been deceived.
"I drank two more hours of wine at the banquet just now, and I'm still feeling dizzy. I just wanted to find a quiet place for a walk." Lin Daiyu also lied, "I just want to take a rest. Second brother, please accompany Fu's sister for a walk."
"
"Yes." Li Yunze, who had no idea that he had already revealed his true colors, nodded righteously, "Miss Fu comes to the house as a guest. She treats you well, so you can go on your own."
Sister Lin glanced at him, and when passing by with a handkerchief in her hand, she said in his ear, "I've given you the chance to have a tryst, don't miss it."
The voice was not too quiet, at least Fu Qiufang heard it.
Seeing Sister Lin leaving with Zicuckoo and Snow Goose, Fu Qiufang blushed and lowered her head.
"Miss Fu."
Li Yunze, who has a face as thick as the Great Wall, stepped forward without being affected at all and said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
"Um."
The two of them walked around the garden, passing through rockeries and paths, near the pond, and sat in the Huating Pavilion.
The things we talked about were naturally mainly about spring flowers and autumn moon, and occasionally we also talked about Fu Shi.
"Since I became Jing Zhaoyin, my brother has been smiling all day long." Fu Qiufang said with emotion, "My brother often said that the most important noble person I will meet in my life is the Grand Master."
"Don't call me Grand Master, it's too confusing."
Li Yunze has learned a lot about how to seduce girls, he simply stepped up his offensive and "called you husband."
Although she is not young, Fu Qiufang can still be regarded as a lady. She has never been so alone, and naturally she has never seen such a shameless man.
When she was stunned, she saw Li Yunze standing in front of her, staring at her with burning eyes.
He lowered his head involuntarily, and after a moment he bit the corner of his mouth and raised his head.
