Chapter 348: First Sight of the East Building
Lin Haoran quietly admired the vibration of the carriage below, and found that it was maintained at a fixed frequency. For this kind of behavior, it may be absurd in this era, but Lin Haoran feels that it is commonplace, and there is a faint hint of kindness.
"Whose carriage?"
"Who else? Yan Dong Building! ”
"Yan Shifan...... So? ”
"People love it!"
"You're less sour, you can try it if you have the guts!"
"Senior brother, what kind of person are you and me, I am principled!"
"Principles? You'd better wipe your saliva off before you tell me the principle! ”
……
Lin Haoran and Yang Futian were pleased with the scenery below, chatting about unnutritious words.
Yang Futian is not a righteous gentleman, and Lin Haoran is not a defender, but the two are very close in this kind of thing. If Ning Jiang was here, I am afraid that he would be blamed, and even prevent them from looking at the scenery.
It didn't take long for the amplitude of the carriage below to slow down, and the two knew that the battle was coming to an end.
It was just when I was sorry that there was a loud shout "Get out" from inside the carriage, and a woman with snow-white skin jumped down from the carriage and covered her face with her clothes and got into the sedan chair next to her.
Wow!
The eyes of the soldiers on the city wall were straight, the happiness came too suddenly, and the saliva flowed, looking at the lonely sedan chair, it seemed that they wanted to pounce into it.
The fair-skinned and flawless body, the plump breasts and buttocks, although I can't see the appearance, must be a beauty. And this short scene, which was immediately replayed clearly in their minds, lingered.
"Good cabbage for the pig!" Lin Haoran sighed slightly, and was about to step down the city wall, but found that Yang Futian was still stunned there, so he teased: "What? Still reluctant to go? ”
Yang Futian looked solemn, looked up at Lin Hao and said distractedly: "That woman...... It seems to be the lady in Chen Langzhong! ”
"It's not going to be that big! Yan Shifan is not satisfied with having eight concubines? Lin Haoran was stunned, and then asked solemnly: "I couldn't see my face just now, you can't admit your mistake!" ”
"Lord Chen is my boss at most, I don't run to his house a lot, and that golden jade hairpin was given by me, I'm afraid there are few pieces in the entire capital!" Yang Futian looked at Lin Haoran and told the basis of his speculation.
Lin Haoran also thought about it, the woman was indeed very flustered, and she had a sedan chair that belonged to her, I am afraid that it is really a woman from a good family, maybe it is really the wife of Chen Langzhong.
Yan Donglou's obscene reputation has long been known in the capital, and he has also invented a lot of tricks for this purpose, which are talked about by some people. According to reliable sources, there is really such a thing, like the famous "White Jade Cup", which has been proven by many people.
In order to let the guests drink as much as they wanted, Yan Shifan also thought of a way, and after three rounds of drinking, he asked people to remove the wine glasses, and called a group of sexyly dressed Meiji to come over, and everyone replaced the glasses with their mouths.
If the guests want to drink, they need to suck at Mei Ji's mouth, and when the wine is sucked over, Mei Niu will stick out her tongue and come over**, Mei called "white jade cup".
In this way, many guests couldn't hold it anymore, and they followed Yan Shifan to commit adultery together.
It's just that I didn't expect that Yan Shifan actually liked women from good families, and even dared to play with the women under him, and he was still in such a public place, which was really daring.
You must know that adultery with others is a big crime, even if Chen Langzhong killed Yan Shifan with a knife, he is not guilty according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, Yan Shifan's character has an arrogant side.
However, he does have some arrogant capital, and now he is in charge of all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, with obedient officials and ministers for support, and an old father in the palace to take care of. Except for their group of Hanlin officials, the entire Ming officials can handle it at will, and they don't need to put anyone in their eyes at all.
Lin Haoran shook his head slightly, compared with the conscientious old Yan Song, this Yan Shifan was really arrogant, and suddenly remembered the sentence: "If God wants it to perish, he must first make it crazy."
After inspecting the walls, the two returned the way they came, and walked down the stairs.
The construction site is still in full swing, and the smell of rice wafts from a few boiling rice pots.
Lin Haoran thought that the meal had arrived, but when he watched the soldiers stir the sticky rice in the pot with the river sand and loess, he knew that he had guessed wrong, this was the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation - Sanhe soil.
Speaking of which, the quality of this Sanhe soil is indeed good, but due to the need to use a large amount of glutinous rice, its cost is high, and the cost of the city wall is often astronomical.
The temporary command of the Ministry of Works was an ordinary house, and the carriage seen earlier on the city wall was also parked at the door.
Lin Haoran hesitated, followed Yang Futian to separate, and then went to the door to report the identity of the cabinet secretary Zhilang, and decided to go in to meet Yan Shifan for a while.
After a cup of tea, no one came out to lead him in, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he is only a small subordinate of the sixth grade, he represents the cabinet, and even the six books dare not be too rude.
If it was the ordinary cabinet Si Zhilang, he would really wait obediently, but he is no longer the youngest official of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a transcendent Hanlin attendant.
When he was about to get into the sedan chair and leave, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper ran out and said enthusiastically: "Lord waiter, please stay, my lord invites you in!" ”
Lin Haoran looked at this housekeeper and knew that this was Yan Shifan's little trick. If he had been waiting here stupidly, the butler would have not come out, and he would have to wait here stupidly until it got dark.
He also smiled indifferently, and followed the housekeeper into the house, dressed in the front yard, and went directly to the living room.
On the first seat, an official wearing a three-grade official uniform sat there with tea, different from Yan Song's tall and thin, his body was as fat as a rich man. Although he is blind in one eye, between his eyebrows, he is full of femininity and fierceness.
"Xiaguan see Lord Yan!" Lin Haoran didn't want to lose his courtesy, and respectfully saluted Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan looked at Lin Haoran with his eyes, and said in a tone of questioning the teacher: "You are also such a big shelf, I have invited you several times, but I have not seen you go to the banquet, what is the matter with this time?" ”
"I am on the order of Elder Yan Ge to inquire about the cost of this city wall!" Lin Haoran was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked at him calmly.
My dad?
Yan Shifan is a smart person, and when he heard Lin Haoran's words, he also sighed in his heart, but immediately asked gloomily: "The cost of the city wall is 300,000 taels, isn't it already sent to the cabinet and approved?" Is my father confused, or are you playing with my father's banner here? ”
Lin Haoran knew that there was a mystery in what he said, and shook his head indifferently: "It's not!" It was Yan Ge who said that every penny had to be spent, so let me come over and ask if I could save a little more! ”
"Provincial, how to save? Which project materials and food do not use silver? You go back and tell my dad that you can't save a penny! Yan Shifan seemed to be stabbed into a hornet's nest, and immediately waved his hand.
"Retire!" Lin Haoran looked at this Yan Shifan, who was like explosives, and left behind, and soon heard the sound of a teacup smashing on the ground from behind.
It turns out that interests can tie the relationships of a group of people closer. And it's really not easy to make people spit out the fat to their mouths, even if it's his father, I'm afraid he will have to turn his face.
