In the large open space in the middle, there is a blanket with auspicious clouds painted on it. Two desks are placed near the blanket, and the four treasures of the study are placed neatly.
On both sides of the blanket are various kinds of chrysanthemums in full bloom, a playful agarwood stand like a girl, a noble and cool Yaotai jade phoenix, a ten-foot-long bead curtain with slender petals like a waterfall, a phoenix feather dancing like a phoenix... everything is dazzling. .
When Chu Chengyao came in, there were many people in the hall. Chu Chengye, who was always impatient, sat in his seat, talking to a few people around him with a hearty smile.
Seeing Chu Chengyao come in, he waved to him, and Chu Chengyao walked forward and sat next to Chu Chengye warmly.
Several people around them saw that the two seemed to be talking to each other, and the discerning ones stepped back.
Chu Chengye leaned on the back of the chair and tilted slightly in the direction of Chu Chengyao:
"Just now, the people around the emperor's wife invited the prince away."
Chu Chengyao smiled gently: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers and sisters. It's only now that the emperor's sister-in-law knows that even if she wants to stop it, she can't do anything."
Chu Chengye smiled with a hint of gloating:
"You don't understand this. When a woman becomes jealous, no one can say what she can do. Even if the emperor's wife cares about the overall situation and doesn't embarrass that girl from the Lin family, she won't sincerely help to set her up."
"Third brother, what you said makes sense."
"Your analysis just now is absolutely correct. The Gu family and the Lin family are reluctant to let the girl become a concubine, but the girl has reached the age of seeing each other, so she has to get married. Xiao Siming, the son of Xiao Weizhong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is the one wearing blue clothes. He is the second son of Sheng'an He has been a prostitute for fourteen years, and he is considered a talented person. He is not yet married, so he is worthy of that girl."
When Chu Chengyao heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, he looked at Xiao Siming who was joking with Lin Jinan not far away, picked up the teacup and said with a smile:
"It's a good look. The Ministry of Industry is the third brother's confidant, and he is not involved in military affairs. If this matter comes to pass, my father will be relieved. It seems that the third brother has thought it over carefully."
Chu Chengye looked a little proud: "I originally thought that I would be more prepared to be prepared, but I never thought it would come in handy. I just told Xiao Siming that he knows what to do."
Chu Chengyao said in a helpless tone: "The third brother has the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, so he has a lot of talents. I only have the Ministry of Punishment, and all of them are already married, so I can't recruit anyone even if I try hard."
Chu Chengye sneered: "What am I doing? The prince has the Ministry of Rites, Households and Officials in his hands. The promotion of officials, scientific examinations, and military pay are all the fundamentals of the country. My father gave them all to the prince."
While he was talking, Chu Chengyao noticed with sharp eyes that the Minister of Hube who was talking to him in the pavilion was now whispering something to a well-dressed young man with a dark face.
With an accommodating smile, the young man saw that the Minister of Tobe was about to leave, and stretched out his hand to pull the sleeve of the Minister of Tobe, but was thrown away by the Minister of Tobe with a dark face and walked away.
After Chu Chengyao finished speaking to Chu Chengye calmly, he got up when he saw someone coming to see Chu Chengye. He walked aside and whispered:
"Who is that?"
Zhong Yi followed Chu Chengyao's gaze and replied respectfully:
"That man is the boss of Hong Leong Bank, which was newly opened at the beginning of the year. He made his fortune from cloth and grain. During this flood, not only did he donate a lot of grain to the court, but each branch also donated a porridge shop for disaster relief. Your Majesty Long Yan is delighted. , and even praised this person highly.”
Chu Chengyao: "Is this the one Qi Wenyuan hates so much?"
"Exactly this person."
"Go and find out what is the relationship between the Minister of Household Affairs and this person."
