Xiao Zhu.
Chang En stood up with a bow.
Gu Jiu said: "Princess Duanjun, please come forward and buy a house for Ouyang Fu."
"Exactly! In the past few days, this incident has become a bit serious, and this old slave thought that he should report it to his mother."
"What family offers are there?"
"There are the eldest sons of the Sun family, the Zhou family in Chuzhou, and the Gu family's Pingnanhou residence..."
Chang En mentioned more than a dozen families in one breath, all of whom were rich and powerful.
Ouyang Fu was caught in it, it was really inconspicuous.
Gu Jiu asked, "Do you think Ouyang Fu has a chance?"
"Unless the old slave is shameless and forces Liu Ping to sell the house. Otherwise, the chances are very small. Whether it is a competition for money or connections, Ouyang Fu is inferior and does not have any advantages."
Chang En seeks truth from facts.
Gu Jiu laughed, "You old bastard, you have a big heart. You knew that you had no chance to snatch the house, so you ran to Bengong on purpose, hoping that Bengong would stand out for you."
"Nothing can be hidden from the empress!"
Chang En generously admitted that he did not have the confidence to win the house among many competitors.
His face may not be that valuable.
After all, the first emperor has passed away.
Some people are willing to give him face, and some people are not willing to give him face.
If Xiao Qin'er could invite Lin Shuping or Qian Fu, the matter would be secure.
Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.
Both Lin Shuping and Qian Fu are people who are useful to His Majesty, and they must show face no matter what.
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, "Ouyang Fu wants to take down the house wholeheartedly, I can completely understand. How much money did she prepare?"
Chang En said in a low voice: "There is only 320,000 taels, and she really can't afford more. The old slave secretly inquired about the quotations from several other families, and some people were determined to win, and they had already raised the price to 350,000 taels." Two. It can be seen that the house is really good, and many people are scrambling to get it. In order to win the house, they have no longer cared about lowering the price. "
Gu Jiu nodded, "That house is indeed very good. Back then when Ouyang Fu picked that house, I said she had a unique vision. The location, layout, and structure of the houses inside were better than Duanjun Palace. Thanks to them back then It was a house bought with money, and when Liu Ping was confiscated, the house was not confiscated."
"Your Majesty said so."
"I haven't seen Ouyang Fu for ten years. How is she doing now?"
"She lives in a three-in-one courtyard in the city. The house is not big, but it is exquisite and has everything you need. The people who serve her are all old people who have been by her side for many years."
"What about her son Liu Xun?"
"Liu Xun is studying at Shanhe Academy, and his studies are progressing well. He passed the Juren examination last year, but it is a pity that he failed to participate in the competition this year."
"As a clan, with the fame of Juren, he can already become an official. Does he have any errands?"
Before Chang En came, he knew everything about it.
Now when the Empress asked, he could answer with just opening his mouth.
"I want to report to the Empress that Liu Xun is looking for an errand through his relationship. It seems that he wants to work as an errand in the Shaofu. Since his parents divorced, he rarely returned to live in the mansion. He took his wife and children to live in Xinmin County. In the early years, Ouyang Fu bought property and lived in it for their family. Probably to prevent Liu Ping from causing trouble, Liu Xun said to the outside world that he rented the house. He often visits Ouyang Fu, and he is considered a dutiful son."
"From your tone, do you have a good impression of Liu Xun?"
Chang En didn't deny it, "Observing his words and deeds, the old slave is a down-to-earth person. He is not too ambitious or unrealistic. He studies steadily and takes the imperial examinations. The old slave likes his character. It is not so much helping Ouyang Fu to rob the house as it is. Help him rob the house."
Gu Jiu was curious, "Eunuch Chang and Liu Xun have contacts?"
Chang En didn't hide anything, "During his studies at Shanhe Academy, Liu Xun had practiced in the Audit Department for half a year. His work was steadfast and prudent, and his skills were good. But he wanted to work in the Shaofu even more, and the old slave didn't force him."
Gu Jiu smiled, "You can be regarded as a caring person. Just because you like his character, you are willing to stand up for him to grab the house. Forget it, you don't want to show up in the matter of the house. You can't afford to lose your old face. I asked Qian Fu to find him Talk to Liu Ping, if he is sensible, he knows what to do."
Chang En was overjoyed, "Thank you Empress Empress!"
Qian Fu stepped forward, much more useful than him.
Everyone should give Qianfu a face.
Regardless of the Sun family, the Zhou family, or the Gu family's Pingnan Hou Mansion, they have to withdraw from the house that Qian Fu wants.
"Ouyang Fu is lucky this year. First, she received the generous help from Princess Duanjun, and now she has the support of the empress! Gai Ming'er old slave asked her to go to Xiaozhu to kowtow to the empress to thank her."
"Don't let her come over, I don't want to see her."
Gu Jiu refused.
"If she really has the heart, she will go to Xiangguo Temple and burn two pillars of high incense."
"The old slave will tell her what the empress said."
Chang En left satisfied.
Liu Zhao came down from the second floor and said curiously: "I thought you wouldn't interfere in this matter, but I didn't expect you to be willing to stand up for Ouyang."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I'm not standing up for anyone, I just can't get used to the way my second child acts like a rascal, it's disgusting."
"Why don't I make a decree to drive the second child out of the capital. After all, he is also a prince and grandson. A person who has been a prince will do more and more stupid things, which is disgusting. I don't want to mention him."
"Take care of your body at ease, and don't meddle in such trivial matters. I will arrange someone with the second child to force him to guard the imperial tomb and cultivate his body for three years. If he doesn't change his temperament, he is not allowed to return to Beijing."
Liu Zhao nodded again and again, "That's a good idea. Ask him to reflect in front of his father's mausoleum, eat and drink, and treat him well. It's just that there is no woman to serve him. By the way, he hurt his life back then. What happens next? Lin Shuping, tell me."
Lin Shuping stood up and said: "My Majesty, Empress, the clan Liu Ping did indeed hurt his life back then. After the wound healed, it is said that he could not fully recover in that aspect. It is reasonable to cultivate one's morality, but he did the opposite, becoming more indulgent. Sensuality. Over the years, at least tens of thousands of taels have been spent in the brothel, and at the craziest time, four or five brothel sisters were raised at the same time."
"It's really absurd to indulge in sensuality without money. It's really absurd to send him to guard the imperial tomb."
Liu Zhao was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Ping.
At any rate, he is a prince and grandson, even if he loses his title, he must be a little bit measured in his actions.
Loitering in brothels has never had a good reputation.
What's more, Liu Ping has no money and relies on borrowing to survive.
It is absurd to use the borrowed money to go to brothels.
Similar to gambling with borrowed money, it is unforgivable.
Thanks to these years, all kinds of casinos have been severely cracked down.
Casinos in the capital are extinct.
Otherwise, Liu Ping might really get addicted to gambling and lose everything.
"By banning casinos, it can be regarded as saving my second child's life."
Gu Jiu said: "It is said that underground casinos are showing signs of revival."
Liu Zhao immediately decided, "Let the Embroidery Guards crack down on underground casinos, and I promise them that they can withdraw 30% of the gambling money. If the Embroidery Guards can't handle this, I will leave it to the Jinwu Guards to do it."
Lin Shuping bowed down to accept the order, thinking that Embroidered Clothes Guard will have great luck this year.
Crack down on underground casinos, can this be done well
Embroidered clothes guard patted his chest up and down, promising to complete the task.
His Majesty's promise of 30% of the gambling money means that the Embroidered Yiwei can take 30% of the gambling money seized in an open and honest manner.
How can such a good job delivered to the door be entrusted to the Jin Wuwei.
All underground casinos, one counts as one, and they can't escape.
The Jinwu Guard was envious from top to bottom.
30% of the gambling money!
The embroidered clothes guard got rich.
How could His Majesty hand over such a good job to Embroidered Yiwei? I was a little jealous.
Qian Xiang snapped, "Anyone can crack down on underground casinos, so what's so special about it. Our Jinwu Guard has more important errands. The Embroidered Clothes Guard is only qualified to fight with punks. If we want to fight, our Jinwu Guard will fight against high-ranking officials."
The Jinwu Guard is united as one, determined to overthrow the high officials and dignitaries of the court.
…
Ouyang Fu never expected that she would be lucky enough to fall on her head.
Qian Fu will personally come forward to help her snatch the house.
"Pinch me quickly, I'm not dreaming!"
Xiao Qin'er was not polite at all, and pinched her thigh hard.
"what… "
Ouyang Fu screamed in shock, "It turned out to be true! How could Eunuch Qian stand up for me? What's going on?"
"Of course it was the empress who spoke."
"The empress knows? Why did you help me?" Ouyang Fu had too many reasons.
"Eunuch Chang Enchang begged for this decency for you. Afterwards, you must thank Eunuch Chang again."
Ouyang Fu nodded again and again, "I don't have many valuable things on hand. If Eunuch Chang doesn't dislike it, I'll give him the house I live in now. Do you think it's okay?"
"Don't give him a house! He doesn't lack a house to live in. If you have the heart, give him something rare."
"What rare thing?" Ouyang Fu sincerely asked for advice.
Xiao Qin'er gave him some advice, "For example, calligraphy and paintings of famous people, or famous utensils from the former dynasty. If you can get a calligraphy and painting of Ren Qiuren's master stick, I guarantee that Eunuch Chang will be able to laugh from ear to ear."
ah
"Principal Ren Qiu's calligraphy and paintings are so precious?" Ouyang Fu was incredulous.
Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "You must be right, I won't harm you."
"Eunuch Qian, how should I thank you?"
"Eunuch Qian is easy to handle. You prepare a rare piece of gold and stone, and you are guaranteed to be able to match what he likes."
Ouyang Fu nodded again and again, "How should I thank the empress? The empress might not like what I have."
"The empress told you to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn two pillars of incense."
"Then I will go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense on the first day of every month."
Rich and rich came forward, and all the competitors who robbed the house voluntarily gave up.
Liu Ping, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price, saw this situation and wanted to cry.
He took Qian Fu's hand, "Eunuch Qian, you have done me a disservice! If you need anything, you can talk about it in private. Why do you want to bid publicly!"
Qian Fu made a clever move and pulled back his hand, "Second Master, our family has something to tell you. The palace is very dissatisfied with your absurd behavior in recent years. It just so happens that the Qingming Festival is here. Second Master may as well take the money." Go live in the imperial mausoleum, cultivate your body and mind."
Liu Ping was dumbfounded, "The imperial tomb? Do you want me to guard the imperial tomb? Are they trying to force me to death?"
"The second master has resentment towards the palace?" Qian Fu's eyes turned cold for an instant.
Liu Ping suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head again and again, "No, no. I didn't say anything."
"Since the second master has no resentment, he took the money and hurriedly set off to the imperial mausoleum. The ancestors like the sincerity of juniors, so women should not take them with them, and maids should not take them with them. Just take two young men on the road to show sincerity .”
As soon as Qian Fu's words came out, Liu Ping's expression changed, changing again and again.
He wants to cry but has no tears, and he wants to die.
He had a mournful face, "Does it have to be like this? Where did I get in the eyes of the palace, and I have to be treated like this. Is it because Ouyang Fu went to Xiaozhu to cry and tell me?"
Qian Fu coughed lightly, "Second Master, be careful! Are you dissatisfied with the palace?"
"I don't dare to be dissatisfied with the palace. I just want to know what I did wrong. The palace doesn't like me, so they insist on sending me to the imperial tomb. It's better to kill me to guard the imperial tomb. .”
"Second Master, don't worry. As long as you are sincere and cultivate your moral character, you will naturally return to the capital when the time comes."
"I still have a chance to return to the capital?"
"It depends on the performance of the second master."
Liu Ping gritted his teeth, "I know!"
Sending Qian Fu away, Liu Ping became more and more unwilling.
He found Ouyang Fu and cursed, "Bitch, did you do it? You are vicious! This time I admit it, but let me tell you, there is no end between us. You make me feel bad, and you can never think about An Sheng day."
"Let the horse come if you have the guts, I'm not afraid of you!"
