When the emperor heard that Ye Chang had contracted the cold, he granted his leave without saying a word, and according to what he said, he handed over the follow-up of the ink corruption case to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi, Xiao Han and Xie Xuan woke up after a day of hangovers and heard about it. He rubbed his aching head and scolded angrily, "What a bastard, he was lazy, but left the trouble to me!"
Xiao Han and Xie Xuan looked at Ye Xi and smiled sullenly.
The imperial decree had been issued, the golden mouth had been opened, Ye Xi had no choice but to tidy up, and went to the household department instead of Ye Chang.
All the principals of the household department have heard the news, whether it is Ye Shizi, or the young master Ye Xi of the Ye family in Jiangnan, they all entered the household department under the emperor's order, they dare not offend, just like Ye Chang, treat Ye Xi Respectfully invited into Ye Chang's office.
Most of the officials involved in the corruption case of the Ministry of Finance have already paid back the money. There are only a small number of mansions left, such as the Pingjun Wangfu and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu's mansion, which involved a large amount of money.
Princess Pingjun killed King Pingjun and then committed suicide. Qi Shu collapsed all of a sudden. Fortunately, Ye Chang arrived at the Palace of Prince Pingjun in time to save Qi Shu and cheered him up to deal with the matter of Palace of Prince Pingjun. Even if he sells the money that Tan Mo can sell, it still doesn't amount to a huge sum of three million taels.
In the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, Mrs. Shangshu hanged herself with the child in her belly, and Shangshu's daughter killed Shangshu. Only the romantic son He Zhi was left in the family. Under the watchful eyes of the relatives of the same clan, Su Fengnuan let Xiao Han and Xie Xuan take He Zhi away and hid in her Fengnuan Pavilion. Therefore, no one has paid back the money in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment so far, but it has anxiously ruined a group of relatives with the same surname.
Although Ye Chang said that there is only the ending left in the follow-up, how to close the ending is also a trouble.
Ye Xi felt that the emperor could not really count the nine clans of the emperor's Zhuping County Prince's Mansion and the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, and the nine clans of the major mansions that have not yet paid the money, there may be thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
So, after he entered the household department, he invited the household department minister and others to discuss how to end this ending.
And Ye Chang was relieved. Yesterday, he and Su Fengnuan had a mandarin duck bath together, and they were lingering all night. The next day, he slept with the sweet girl in his arms until the sun was high before waking up. After waking up, she consciously went to the kitchen to cook for Su Fengnuan herself, as a reward for her hard work last night.
After lunch, Su Fengnuan was still lazy and limp all over. He took out the fabric of the wedding dress and put it in front of him. He didn't bother to embroider. After a long while, he stared at Ye Chang and said, "It's all your fault. manage?"
Ye Chang smiled and hugged her, "I'm so cute and I can't help you with this embroidery work, why don't you find your embroiderer?"
Su Fengnuan shook her head, "No, you have to embroider the wedding dress yourself."
Hearing this, Ye Chang removed the fabric of the wedding dress and said to her, "Then take a day off today, and I won't bother you tonight, build up your strength, and embroider tomorrow."
Su Fengnuan thought this was the only way to go, and said to him, "You must mean what you say."
Ye Chang nodded affirmatively, "It must count."
Su Fengnuan gave up, listened to him, and put the fabric of the wedding dress into the brocade box.
Ye Chang said to her, "It's sunny after the snow, it's not good to be bored in the room all the time, how about I take you outside the city to enjoy plum blossoms?"
Su Fengnuan said to him, "Where can I enjoy plum blossoms outside the city?"
Ye Chang said, "In Xuemei Ridge ten miles outside the city, half of the hillside is covered with plum trees. During Chinese New Year, after a heavy snowfall, plum blossoms bloom all over the mountains and plains."
Su Fengnuan nodded, with some interest, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed, Ye Chang ordered the housekeeper to prepare a car, ordered a hundred guards to follow, and ordered people to call Xiao Han and Xie Xuan. After giving the order, he and Su Fengnuan tidied up and left the main courtyard hand in hand.
Xiao Han and Xie Xuan heard that they were going out of the mansion, so they quickly changed into the clothes of the guards and went to wait at the gate of the mansion.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang came to the gate of the mansion, got into the carriage, Qian Han waved his whip, and the carriage headed for the city gate.
After the heavy snow stopped, the soldiers had already cleaned the main streets of the capital. People who had been bored by the heavy snow for two days walked around the streets after the snow stopped. The streets were bustling and bustling, especially when the New Year was coming. Sellers of New Year pictures, pairs, window grilles, and shouts were heard endlessly.
Su Fengnuan was originally a lively person, and he always liked this kind of excitement, so he couldn't help opening the curtain to look out.
Although Ye Chang felt that the New Year in the capital was like this in previous years, there was nothing to see, but Su Fengnuan liked to watch it, so he followed her to look at everything along the street, and saw some interest.
After the carriage walked along Ronghua Street for a while, Su Fengnuan said "Huh?", reached out to touch Ye Chang, pointed to a place and said, "Is that person your Uncle Wen?"
Ye Chang followed Su Fengnuan's line of sight, and saw that the person she was pointing at was wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist hat on his head, and a mustache. There was a fortune-telling thing in front of him, and he was setting up a stall. Fortune teller. He narrowed his eyes and nodded, "It's him. You haven't seen him for many years, but you still remember him, and you recognize him even when he's dressed like this."
"My eye poison is also cultivated. Besides, when I went to the Rong'an Palace to look for you, I remember him fighting crickets with you." Su Fengnuan said, wondering, "He is not the eldest son of King Jin. How about setting up a fortune telling stall on the street?"
Ye Chang said, "I guess I got tired of fighting crickets and switched to fortune-telling."
Su Fengnuan blinked his eyes when he heard the words, and said to him, "We used to count too?"
Ye Chang laughed when he heard the words, and ordered people to stop the car.
The two got out of the carriage, and Ye Chang took Su Fengnuan's hand and came to the booth set up by Liu Wen. There happened to be two small stools, and the two sat down.
Liu Wen took a handful of Buddha dust used by Taoists in the winter, saw someone came to sit down in front of his booth, and was just about to put on a pose, when he saw clearly that the people who came were Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan, he immediately gave up , put down the Buddha dust, picked up a book, covered his face, only showing a pair of eyes, and said in a nasty voice, "Stinky boy, why is it you?"
Ye Chang frowned and looked at Liu Wen, "When did uncle become a monk?"
Liu Wen stared at Ye Chang.
Ye Chang looked at him, "Could it be that you lost the fight with crickets, and you have no money to spend, so you came here to cheat money?"
Liu Wen's forehead jumped violently, and he reached out to cover Ye Chang's mouth, "Stinky boy, you are here to spoil me, right?"
Naturally, Ye Chang wouldn't let his hand touch him, so he casually took a volume of books, blocked his hand, and said lazily, "I'm not interested in spoiling your business, but I just want to go outside the city. Appreciating plums, I happened to meet you. Since you dare to set up a stall here, you must have two brushes, and I will come to tell your fortune."
Hearing this, Liu Wen asked in a vicious voice, "What is it?"
Ye Chang glanced at Su Fengnuan next to him, and smiled, "Marriage."
Naturally, Liu Wen had seen Su Fengnuan a long time ago, and he hummed when he heard the words, and as he hummed loudly, the fake mustache that he put on fell off. He was startled, and immediately stuck it back with his hands. Without looking in the mirror, it was naturally crooked.
Seeing this, Su Fengnuan couldn't help laughing.
She thought that Liu Wen, the eldest son of Prince Jin, was indeed an interesting person. When she saw him for the first time when she was very young, she thought it was very interesting. She didn't expect that now that she and Ye Chang had grown up, this second Seeing him for the first time was still interesting.
Seeing Su Fengnuan laughing at him, Liu Wen immediately turned to him and said angrily, "Little girl, what are you laughing at?"
Su Fengnuan said bluntly, "Uncle stuck his beard crooked."
Liu Wen choked, and immediately found a small mirror from his arms, and quickly put his beard in front of the mirror, and then looked around, seeing that no one saw it, he waved to the two with a sigh of relief, "Which side of you?" Go play, don't spoil my good deeds."
Ye Chang reached into his bosom, took out a silver coin, put it on the table, and said, "When I say fortune-telling, it means fortune-telling. Uncle can't have money and not make money, right?"
Liu Wen glanced at the big silver ingot, then at Ye Chang, reached out and put away the silver ingot politely, and said, "Your marriage is destined, don't count it, just get lost."
Ye Chang heard the words, "What about fortune-telling?"
Liu Wen stared at him, "It doesn't matter if the scourge lasts for thousands of years."
Ye Chang said, "I didn't mention me, but my fiancée."
Hearing this, Liu Wen looked at Su Fengnuan, stared at her eyebrows for a while, and said, "The scourge lasted for thousands of years, you are all the same."
Ye Chang stretched out his hand and pulled Su Fengnuan to stand up, and said with a smile to Liu Wen, "Thank you Uncle Wen for your kind words." After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, and got into the carriage with Su Fengnuan.
The curtain fell, Qian Han waved his whip, and the carriage walked towards the gate of the city.
Seeing the two leave happily, Liu Wen yelled loudly, "Fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, all fortune-telling, if it doesn't work, you don't need money."
When Su Fengnuan heard the yelling from behind, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Is the eldest son of King Jin very short of money?"
Ye Chang said, "If you want to waste money, Jinshan can also waste money."
Su Fengnuan said, "It's not that easy to be an out-and-out prodigal waste from being born in Prince Jin's mansion. According to you, King Jin doesn't care about him? The mansion doesn't pay him?"
Ye Chang nodded, "I don't care about it for a long time. King Jin once threatened to treat him as his son."
Su Fengnuan said, "Then what about Liu Yan?"
Ye Chang said, "I haven't been close since I was a child. King Jin personally brought Liu Yan by his side to educate him. He never paid attention to Liu Yan."
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "Do you think Uncle Wen knows about King Jin?"
Ye Chang smiled, "Know what, so what if you don't know? He has turned himself into a real waste, and after a long time, he will really be a waste. Just like He Zhi."
Su Fengnuan sighed, and said, "You hand over the matter of the corruption case in the household department to senior brother, he must have a headache now. He Zhi is still in my mansion, the case of corruption in ink can't really end with the punishment of the nine clans, right?"
Ye Chang said with certainty, "No, I have my own arrangements."
