Chapter 1598

Chang Zhong and his brother-in-law were already standing in front of the desk. The paintings on the table were plum trees. Chang Zhong whispered, "Most of Mr. Gu's paintings are plum blossoms."

Looking at the painting in front of him, Jiang Sheng cherished his talents, "Young Master Gu is a man who loves plums."

The arrogance of plum blossoms rushes towards my face, as if I am a plum blossom standing in the cold wind, noble and arrogant.

Chang Zhong heard the footsteps and turned his head, seeing the young man in long clothes next to Gu Sheng, "Who is this?"

Before Gu Sheng could introduce, Young Master Ji spoke up first, "Your Majesty and Young Master Gu came from Yizhou together, and we are candidates in the same period. My name is Ji Deming."

Gu Sheng's face was a little unnatural, Mr. Ji was too eager, and he was worried about what Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang thought of him?

Chang Zhong, "Young Master Ji came out wearing a long gown. You don't have to worry about catching cold in such a cold day. Come in quickly and don't stand at the door."

Mr. Ji was really cold. He was afraid of being discovered by the people in the same courtyard, so he ran over in a hurry, "Thank you Mr. Zhou."

Gu Sheng was not sure what Young Master Hou was thinking. He didn't think that Zhou Hou couldn't see what Young Master Ji was thinking, so he followed in with his mouth shut and closed the door. The light in the room was not affected, and the windows in this courtyard were glass windows.

Chang Zhong's liking for paintings was not as much as his brother-in-law's obsessed Zeng Du, who sat by the window drinking tea, Jiang Sheng ignored his brother-in-law, and waved to Gu Sheng, "I have a few things I want to ask you."

Gu Sheng didn't care about Mr. Ji, nodded to Mr. Zhou, and walked to the desk quickly, "Excuse me, sir."

Jiang Sheng pointed to several places on the painting and asked carefully, the more Gu Sheng listened, the more he understood.

Changzhong glanced at it, took out the jerky from his purse, and didn't intend to speak at all.

Mr. Ji managed to get in touch with Mr. Zhouhou's mansion, and he was unwilling to sit still, "Brother Gu can win the favor of Mr. Gu, I am happy for Mr. Gu."

Chang Zhong looked at Mr. Ji with a half-smile, no matter how well this man concealed himself, he couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes, "I don't know much about Mr. Gu, and every time I meet Mr. Gu, I am surprised. How long has it been?" Mr. Gu rented an independent small courtyard, and I like self-reliant people."

Mr. Ji, "."

Is Master Hou's mansion pointing at him?

Looking at the glass windows, Ji Deming became more and more jealous. This small courtyard with three rooms costs five taels of silver a month, all because the small courtyard has glass windows. The courtyard he rented was closed and the room was very dark. He wanted to live here. The young master directly refused, and Ji Deming's smile was a bit far-fetched.

Suddenly heard, "Sell this painting to me, and I will pay you twenty taels of silver."

This is what Jiang Sheng said. He really likes this painting. Although there are still many flaws, it has insufficient artistic conception. Twenty taels is very high.

Gu Sheng hurriedly said: "You have given a lot of advice to the younger generation,

Where can I sell the painting to you, this painting will be given to Mr. "

Jiang Sheng raised his hand, "If you say that, I dare not come again."

As he spoke, he went to touch his purse, his hands froze halfway through the touch, and he raised his eyes to look at his brother-in-law.

Chang Zhong burst out laughing, his brother-in-law went out without a purse, and motioned to his servant to bring out the money, Jiang Sheng smiled, "Go back and give it to you."

Mr. Ji, "."

This is twenty taels? My heart hurts!

In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan is holding Yulu's youngest son, Wang Zhuoqing. The child has a chubby face and is dressed in thick winter clothes like a ball. "This child is stocky."

Yulu, "This child has a very good appetite. He doesn't drink less milk and eats less complementary food. Every time he consults Pingan Pulse, the doctor says that this child has a good spleen and stomach. There are very few strong children in Beijing."

Zhulan smiled, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, but I see that you are thinner than last time I saw you."

Yulu explained: "The granddaughter has grown taller, and the two children are noisy, so she has lost weight."

Mrs. Li has always been fat, and she is especially envious of thin women, "It's better to be thinner."

Yulu really didn't mean to be skinny. She relied on her youthful foundation to recover so quickly after giving birth twice.

Everyone heard the giggles and looked at Wang Zhuoping who was playing hide-and-seek. The little guy was very happy. There were few children in Wang's mansion, so Zhuoping was quite lonely. Although he also found a family member to accompany him, he was very careful with the little guy. Yes, the child Min felt bored, and when he came back to Zhou's house, there were many little uncles and aunts, so the little one naturally had fun playing.

Mrs. Li would go to Wang's residence once a month, knowing that Wang Zhuo attached great importance to his grandson, "I have never seen Zhuo Ping so happy in Wang's house."

Yulu sighed, "The Wang family has too few children, and Zhuoqing is young, so Zhuoping is indeed lonely."

Mrs. Li thought about the fact that the old man of the Wang family would take his grandson with him wherever he went, and felt sorry for his grandson, but he didn't say anything about asking his daughter to take the child home often.

Zhulan asked Yulu, "When you brought the child back, you didn't just let us see the child, did you?"

Yulu nodded, "There is a girl of the right age in the Wang clan who is not engaged, and the Yong'an Duke's Mansion sent a post about tea tasting. Since I didn't receive the post, I begged the old lady to let me take care of it."

Su Xuan heard, "Is this taken to show some officials and relatives?"

Yulu nodded, "Well, I hope to meet a better family."

It's not uncommon to see each other at a banquet, and how many acquaintances start with the female relatives at the banquet.

Su Xuan understood, Yulu came back specially to let her know.

The next day, the Yong'an Duke's Mansion became the focus of the capital. It was the first time in many years that such a large-scale banquet was held. The Yong'an Duke's Mansion also wanted to use the banquet to return to the sight of the capital.

Zhuo Guyu's several recent debates have already created a sense of presence and created a good momentum, attracting many families with women to marry. Many people went to this tea banquet with a purpose, especially after inquiring about the Duke's mansion. There are many good times.

Su Xuan and her daughter were sitting in the carriage, Yudie and Yu Yi didn't go, they were already engaged and didn't want to join in the fun, Yu Jiao wanted to go, but unfortunately she was too young.

The carriage stopped near the Duke's Mansion. Yuwen came down wearing a cloak, holding a stove in her arms. The fiery red cloak was very conspicuous. The cloak had no hairs at all, which showed the value of the cloak.

Seeing her daughter's glowing appearance, Su Xuan's eyes were filled with pride, "Is it cold?"

Yuwen shook her head, "It's not cold."

Su Xuan looked at the long carriage, "After today, Duke Yong'an's mansion will be lively."

Yuwen looked at the Duke's Mansion, which occupies a large area, and sneered, "It's exciting to watch."

Su Xuan came late on purpose, she didn't want the carriage to be blocked in front, she walked all the way, but she didn't see the carriage of the palace, she turned her head to look at her daughter.

Yuwen looked in the direction of the palace and lowered her voice, "This is the attitude of the royal family."

Su Xuan nodded, so she said that unless the Supreme Emperor passed away, the status of Yong'an Duke's Mansion would remain so.

In the Ministry of Accounts, Zhou Shuren was very surprised to see the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. He did not have much contact with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. "Why do you have time to come to the Ministry of Accounts today?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice smiled, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is not busy recently, so I passed by the Ministry of Households today and came in to ask for a cup of tea."
