Chapter 666 Murder Case(1/2)
Although Wanli has many concubines and is very lustful, otherwise he would not have had a secret relationship with the palace queen Wang's pearl, but he and Zheng's family would definitely be considered true love.
Although Zheng's appearance is dignified and beautiful, his appearance is not as beautiful as that of a beautiful beauty, at least far from Aunt Xu.
But Wanli liked her little character. When he went out, Wanli only brought Zheng with him, and he did not bring any other concubines, including his original wife, Queen Wang.
It has to be said that the couple is really in love, and both of them like this brand new Royal Racecourse.
Interestingly, at this time, Yang Mingshen and other ministers were standing in the lawn, educating their wives, and warning them not to sit in the bird's nest again.
Your face has been swollen.
But soon a eunuch told them to rest in their residence first.
After a while, Wanli asked Li Gui to call Guo Dan in.
I saw Wanli sitting behind a curved desk, next to it was a row of very irregular bookcases, and the walls were even more colorful. Guo Dan used contrasting colors to help Wanli design it, and with glass, glass, jade, porcelain, gold and silver ware, the entire color seemed lively and exuding a flamboyant nobleness.
"Guo Dan, did you design this here?"
Wanli asked with a smile.
Guo Dan said in surprise: "How did Your Majesty know?"
Wanli said, "Who else dares to decorate my study like this except you!"
Guo Dan smiled embarrassedly: "I wonder if Your Majesty likes it?"
Wanli nodded and said, "I like it very much. Do you know, the Imperial Concubine initially thought this was a hall."
"His Majesty."
A coquettish voice came from the terrace.
"Ha ha!"
Wanli laughed and said, "But if Shoushen sees this, you will probably be chanted by them again."
Guo Dan said, "This is your office place, Your Majesty, and it has nothing to do with Shoushen."
"It's right, I just like it."
Wanli pointed at Guo Dan with great appreciation.
I don’t know if Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li disciplined him too strictly, which led to the rebellion of this thing. Now the more he does not adhere to traditions or ethics, the more he likes it. He even goes to the crown.
After chatting for a while, Wanli asked Guo Dan to take them everywhere to visit.
Guo Dan first brought Wanli to the back of the building. There was a corridor here, with two arc-shaped steps on both sides, each of which was very wide.
Wanli said in surprise: "So the back door is on the second floor!"
Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is actually not a back door. The humble position is just to consider that if Your Majesty holds a court meeting here, so this design is available. Your Majesty can sit here and go to court at that time."
"So this is the place to go to court?" Wanli's eyes lit up and he nodded and said, "Okay, okay! This is really convenient!"
Li Gui, who was standing by, knew why Wanli was happy, because Wanli often complained that the harem was too far from the imperial city, and he had to walk for a long time every time he went to court. This place was too close to the office, and he arrived in just a few steps.
Then Guo Dan took Wanli to visit the conference hall.
There are two conference halls in total, one is closed, arranged on the first floor, and the other is semi-open, on a corridor on the second floor. Because such a large building requires lighting.
The entire building has two very wide corridors, with curved windows on both sides of the corridor, ensuring that each house has enough light. If the weather is not cold, it is very comfortable and refreshing to have a meeting here. There is also a corridor to the east, which is the private resting place for Wanli.
In addition, there are billiards, chess and card rooms, wine cellars, etc.
All are available.
Wanli is very satisfied with this, and the combination of entertainment and work is so harmonious.
After wandering around, Wanli felt a little tired, so he let Guo Dan take his leave.
When Guo Dan was designing this Royal Horse Farm, he left a little thought and designed a small courtyard for himself, which was in the corner of the northeast and was far away from here. He also built a natural swimming pool through the nearby stream.
The water at this Royal Horse Farm must be clear and clean, but it is specially watched by people.
Of course, he didn't help Wanli design the swimming pool. He felt that the emperor was wearing big shorts and dog padding inside in broad daylight, which was so bad.
"Thirty-five, six, seven, eight...haha, I won again."
As soon as Guo Dan arrived outside the yard, he heard a harsh laugh.
Isn’t this my uncle’s voice? Why are they here too?
Guo Dan quickly walked into the yard and suddenly felt the urge to curse. He saw Zhu Yiliu, Xu Jirong, and Liu Xumou sitting under the eaves playing poker, while Guan Xiaojie was sitting beside him eating and watching. The long table was filled with chicken bones and duck bones.
On the swing at the end of the corridor was a stunning beauty. No, it was Zhu Lizhi.
But this guy sat on the swing, he was not a beauty, but a beauty was better than a beauty!
"Guo Dan is here."
Guan Xiaojie was the first to discover Guo Dan.
"Come on Dan, I won a lot of money again."
Xu Jirong waved to Guo Dan excitedly.
This guy is so lucky that he wins money all year round, and Zhu Yiliu and Liu Xumou always want to win his money, but they can't win. He is so depressed.
Guo Dan walked up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Yiliu said: "I am here to accompany my mother."
Guo Dan said in surprise: "The Empress Dowager is here too."
Zhu Yili nodded and pointed to the west and said, "But my mother did not live here, but was living in Jingxin Temple there."
Jingxin Temple is actually a royal temple, and it was specially built by Wanli for Empress Dowager Li. Ordinary temples cannot be built next to the Royal Horse Farm. Every year, Empress Dowager Li will go here to bathe and fast.
Guo Dan asked again: "Why are you sitting here? This is my yard."
"We know, that's why we're sitting here waiting for you!"
“…?”
Guo Dan was speechless.
thump!
What sound?
Guo Dan turned around and looked at the swimming pool, and said in surprise: "Yeah? Why are there so many goldfish here?"
Xu Jirong said, "I saw that there are no fish in the pond here, so I got it from the fish pond in the garden there. Is it loyal enough?"
Guo Dan really wanted to beat this guy to death. He wanted to swim for a while just now, and immediately said excitedly: "Brother Xiao, this is not a pond, this is a swimming pool!"
“Swimming pool?”
"It's just for swimming, my goodness!"
"I just said this is not a pond."
Zhu Lizhi on the swing muttered in a low voice.
"Brother Rong, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yili suddenly exclaimed.
Guo Dan turned his head and saw Xu Jirong starting to take off his clothes.
Xu Jirong said: "I'll go and help Dantan catch it."
"Brother, you... calm down, I'll ask someone to take it out later."
"It's okay, it's okay. Good uncle is the one who does things alone, I'll catch them."
Xu Jirong took off his clothes and jumped in. After a splash of water, he saw a dog, no, a dog was shoveling inside.
Liu Xun said expressionlessly: "He just wants to swim."
"You reminded it a little too late." Guo Dan rolled her eyes.
Xu Jirong is born fun, but he never thought about building a swimming pool at home. If he didn't swim a few times, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight.
Zhu Yili's eyes turned and said, "Guo Dan, come and help Brother Rong fight. It's better to lose more money to us."
Liu Xunmou nodded in deep agreement.
Guo Dan looked back and saw that Xu Jirong was full of silver, and he couldn't help but say, "How much have you lost?"
"It's been several hundred taels."
Zhu Yi's mouth sagged and almost burst into tears.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Okay, I love to use other people's money as favors." As he said, he said to Xu Jirong again, "Brother Xiao, catch it slowly, I'll help you with some help."
"Okay, you can fight slowly."
Guo Dan not only exported all the money Xu Jirong won before, but also helped him lose 500 taels to the two idiots.
It is considered a punishment for Xu Jirong to ruin the swimming pool.
