Chapter 331 There must be a ghost

Yang Ling walked out of the palace gate in a daze. The tense palace ban had already retreated. Although Shi Wenyi was disappointed when he saw him, he still had to come forward to greet him. Shi Wenyi did nothing wrong with today. Although he knew that he was Liu Jin's party, Yang Ling also apologized with a smile.

The dignified Duke apologized with a small Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the dusty Shi Wenyi also saved his face. Yang Ling left the Wumen and saved Gao Wenxin from being on the Jinting Liu Mansion, and hurriedly led the crowd back to the Liu Mansion.

Gao Wenxin was gentle and smiled and didn't ask him. It was not until he got into the car and the two sat on the same bed that Gao Wenxin carefully observed his face and said, "Husband, what happened so anxiously just now? You... have a bad face."

Alas! Can my face be good? Princess Yongfu... became a nun Xiuyuan, and the nun was still in the western suburbs. I am afraid that I will definitely see it when I go to Beijing and leave Beijing. This matter has become a heart-wrenching problem, which makes the girl heartbroken and becomes a nun. Yang Ling feels sad when she thinks about it.

He sighed tiredly, lay down slightly, resting his head on Gao Wenxin's warm and soft thighs, his cheeks pressed against her plump breasts, and he told everything that happened in the palace today. Gao Wenxin's pretty face turned pale after hearing this.

If my daughter loves her once, she will be in her life. Due to her ups and downs, no one will pay more attention to such feelings than her. The An family did such a despicable thing. If the reputation was really settled and the An night suddenly died of illness, what should I do if Princess Yongfu? With her husband's character who values ​​love and friendship, I will be sad for the rest of my life.

Gao Wenxin sighed softly, stroked Yang Ling's cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, fortunately, the auspicious person and the heavenly world are in the world. Didn't my husband grab the marriage letter in time? Although the princess is not very good-looking in appearance, it finally did not make a big mistake. Just choose another princess."

She lowered her head, raised her soft cherry lips, kissed Yang Ling's forehead gently, and said with a low smile: "A ball of silk will be swallowed, it's nothing bad. The late emperor's ink treasure is still in our house, and the current emperor's ink treasure is for you to take back. The ink in my husband's belly is given by the emperor, but you are not happy? Hahaha."

Yang Ling sighed and said, "If I just take back a piece of imperial treasure, it would be fine, I will take back Princess Yongfu."

Princess Gao Wenxin's laughter came to an abrupt end, her eyes widened, and she said, "Master......Princess?"

When Yang Ling saw her frightened, she couldn't help but laugh. Among her wives and concubines, Gao Wenxin was the real lady and a family of officials, so she also had the most respect for imperial power.

Yang Ling couldn't bear to scare her anymore. She shaved her nose gently, but when she thought of Yongfu, a cloud of sorrow surged on his face and said, "Yes, Princess Yongfu heard that the prince consort who was selected for her was actually a sick person who could die at any time. She was afraid and angry, and she actually... she wanted to become a monk and nun..."

"By the way!" Yang Ling suddenly opened his eyes and held her hand and said, "The emperor is planning to choose a place to build a nunner in the western suburbs, with Princess Yongfu as the lord. He will take the ranks and wait until the Tao is practiced and the Buddha's mind is calm before he is officially ordained. Wen Xin, if this harms the princess for the rest of her life, her husband will never be happy.

Anyway, they are all in the western suburbs, so they should not be too far away. When you are fine, you and the young lady pretend to be believers who worship incense and Buddha, and go to the temple to accompany her. It is best... It is best to talk more about the happiness and beauty in the world. Let the princess's heart be difficult to calm down. Maybe in one or two years, she will change her mind and return to the palace."

"Okay!" Gao Wenxin said considerately: "Don't say that you are not far away. No matter how far away you are, I will go for my husband. I always have to persuade the princess to turn back. It is not only to make up for our family's faults, but also to be considered as a merit."

As he was talking, the carriage and horses had arrived at the Duke Wei of Gaolaozhuang. The big stick in front shouted loudly: "Duke, we are home."

Yang Ling said 'um'. In this moment, he had already come up with many crooked ways. The princess was only sixteen years old. What would she think? Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei were a pair of vixen who were specialized in seducing souls. They knew a lot about the love story of red men and green women. If the princess really became a monk, she would send them to her. Even if she lived in the toad palace, she would have to hook up with Sifan to the world.

Thinking of this, he felt relaxed and suddenly had a teasing heart. When he got up, he bent his fingers and bounced on Gao Wenxin's breasts. Gao Wenxin's breasts were straight, and the breast balls were water-tight peach-shaped, and the breast beads were very easy to find. When he was flicking, Gao Wenxin was shocked and couldn't help but hit him with shame.

Yang Ling smiled, lifted the curtain and stood on the shaft of the car. He was about to jump off the ground, but suddenly he found that there were many people busy on the vast field across the small river canal in front of his house square. Yang Ling was a little puzzled. Whose family went to work in the middle of winter? What can they do?

Yang Ling looked at the cold robe for a while, and suddenly found that the people were all wearing long robes, with a blue robe standing on the ridge of the field, clearly dressed in a palace eunuch. Yang Ling was even more surprised and hurried to the manager Gao who was greeting him: "Butler, what are you doing on the other side?"

In the winter, northern families rarely go out without any trouble. The senior manager didn’t know how to check it out. Yang Ling was worried about it and said, “Butler, you go back with your wife first, I’ll go and see it!”

Gao Wenxin was worried. She refused to go home and was with Yangling. The group led more than a dozen generals to climb over the river and walked up the ridge of the field. She heard the man in blue-robed eunuch uniforms shouting there: "Yes, dig a pool in that place, plant some lotus flowers and raise some goldfish. I remember to pile up a rockery in this area, and I had to build a swing next to the rockery. Where can I do it? Make four swings. To the east? To the east, the grass is planted with grass, so I have to leave a racecourse."

Yang Ling coughed majesticly, and the man turned around and saw Yang Ling's appearance clearly. Suddenly, he screamed in surprise and greeted him happily, "Mr. Yang... No, no, Duke Wei, haha, our family greets Duke Wei. Oh... This distant relative is not as good as a neighbor. I would like to ask Duke Guo to take care of him in the future."

When Yang Ling saw that Gao Feng, one of the eight tigers, couldn't help but say in surprise: "Eunuch Gao? You... are you going to build a house here?"

Gao Feng is one of the Eight Tigers. However, after the past two years of dating, Yang Ling gradually realized that Gao Feng was still good among the Eight Tigers. This person is relatively low-key in his work. He is also greedy for money, but he is greedy and moderate, and does not like power very much. He has no conflicts with Yang Ling and Liu Jin. Although he is favored by the emperor, because of his poor health, he has requested to retire and retire twice this year, so Yang Ling still has a good impression of him.

He knew that the eunuchs in the palace had money and had luxurious private houses in the capital. He didn't expect that Gao Feng actually bought the land and land opposite the Duke of Weiguo's mansion to build a yard.

When Gao Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "The prince laughed. How can our family afford such a large piece of land to buy a garden? Haha, here we need to build a white-clothed temple.... Princess Yongfu led his hair to practice. This auspicious land with good feng shui is chosen here."

The lower jaw almost fell off, and Yang Ling said in a daze: "Your Highness the Princess has become a monk, is this... the nunnery chosen here?"

"Yes!" Gao Feng said with confidence: "The Feng Shui here is good, the inner factory is safe to the west, the mansion of the Duke of the State is the perfect match, and the official road to the capital is convenient. The mountain range with Sanling Yingzhu backed to the front is good. The Feng Shui here is good. How do you think we choose this place?"

Yang Ling slid twice like a toothache. Before he could speak, a primary apprentice ran over to the side: "Daddy, father-in-law, what is the piece on the east side? Master, please inform me. Go back and draw the drawings."

Gao Feng glanced at it and said, "That piece, that piece is not covered, dig it! Dig out a few acres of land and land, lead it to water and plant lotus flowers, build a pavilion in the middle, and the princess also likes to row. By the way, dig out the soil and transport it to the west, and pile it out a small hill."

Yang Ling's eyes were bulging out. Gao Feng was still chewing: "Our family almost forgot. The entire homestead had to retreat one acre of land, leaving a large courtyard in front of it. Painted bluestone slabs to parking the car. The lion in front of the gatehouse and the stone mount are three people high, and it occupies a lot of space, so don't forget it."

"Ka!" Yang Ling's chin, who had just closed, almost fell off again: in front there is Yuchi rockery, swings, racecourse in the west, artificial lake in the east, this... Is this Baiyi's or Baiyi's Park?"

Yang Ling laughed dryly and said, "This Baiyi Temple... is really quite large."

"Yes, yes," Gao Feng smiled and pointed at the distance, saying, "Dude, have you seen those four trees? This temple is built on the field. It is not good to see if there are no trees inside. The direction of the four trees is the north. Planting more trees can also prevent wind and sand.

Our family is going to plant seven or eight acres of forests there, such as weeping willow, white elm, dragon claw locust trees, metasus, spruce, sycamore trees, purple myrtle, red maple, ginkgo, and purple magnolia.

Well.........................................................................................................................................., there are evergreen trees all year round...................................., there is evergreen trees all year round.........................., there is a river in the middle..............., there is evergreen trees all year round...

Yang Ling was surprised: "What a big land scale, this money is quite large. After talking for a long time, it was all gardens. In the middle, the house has not been built yet. In addition...... seven or eight acres of forests are planted next to it? How big is this house?"

He looked at it with his toes for a long time and asked in confusion: "I said to Eunuch Gao, where are the four trees you mentioned? Why can't I see it?"

"Not that? Just there, why can't you see it? I just came back from there, oh...... The sun was far away and I couldn't see it clearly."

“……………….”

"Mr., what's wrong with you?"

"The emperor... I really love the princess! How much does it cost!"

"That's right? The emperor said that the elder brother is like a father. Who will take care of his sister if he doesn't take care of him? Hahaha, but the money was not paid by the emperor. Didn't you say you should take it?"

"ah?…….."

"I have already encircled this land. The royal family requisitioned it, and the real estate industry will be increased by 40% at the official price, and the payment will be paid after the New Year. Our family has already written an IOU for the landlord in the name of the Duke of the State."

Gao Wenxin was shocked and didn't care about her stupid husband. He hurriedly asked, "What? How much money does it cost to get for my family?"

Gao Feng glanced at her. He looked at her outfit and said with a quick look: "This is the wife of the Duke of China. Our family is rude and the money is not much, only 7,400 taels."

"Oh!" Gao Wenxin had just felt relieved, and Gao Feng followed up with another sentence: "This is the land price. You can only know if you place it in the planting forests, dig a pond, buy Taihu stones, and build houses and pavilions by the craftsmen to calculate the approximate price code."

Gao Wenxin suddenly lost her appearance, Yang Ling's eyes were straightened. After a while, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Wenxin, you go back to the mansion first, I have to go back to the city immediately."

Gao Wenxin said strangely: "Go to the city again? Is there anything else that my husband can't do?"

Yang Ling said in a dry voice: "The emperor handed over the investigation of An's property and investigation of An's corruption, saying that the money he had seized was used to build a nunnery. I... I have to go to Eunuch Liu to accept it immediately."

"What! Is this the Gainian? Is Princess Yongfu a monk or a vacation? This is simply a huge royal family garden!"

Cheng Qiyun was also anxious. She didn't treat herself as an outsider. Yang Ling's belonged to her, and her land was Yang Ling's belonged to her. Although the internal factory made a lot of money, Yang Ling did not take it into her house.

Yang Ling gave her a large sum of silver to the place where she operated to develop overseas markets; she used it to open up new commercial circulation channels set up using military post channels; she had to invest in a large amount of eyeliner funds installed in Liaodong and the Western Regions; she had to re-arrange various forces after leaving the internal factory, and she was not generous at hand.

Cheng Qiyun's eyes turned and suddenly asked, "Princess Yongfu became a monk and became the Lord of Baiyi Temple. What is the name of this royal nun? I didn't take it to my heart just now."

Chu Ling replied: "Cultivate fate."

"Cultivate fate?" Cheng Qiyun repeated, pondered and walked in the room for a while, and a trace of understanding suddenly flashed through her eyes.

She sat back to the chair, closed her eyes, and secretly clarified all the unreasonable points again. Based on the various messages she received, she finally confirmed that she had no mistake in judgment. Cheng Qiyun couldn't help but show a look of a smile on her face.

Well, that's good. Once the house is built for hundreds of years, what should be spent will be spent. Now the Duke of the Di Guo was rebuilt on the basis of the mansion of Gao Taiyi. It used to be quite small. The Duke of the National Palace is not enough to be seen by the Duke of the National Palace. Now the Duke of the National Palace is constantly being built in the backyard, and the planning is limited. It is not at all elegant and does not conform to the identity of a Duke of the National Palace.

Haha..., if she wants to cover it, she will cover it. Even if the money is not enough to collect the land, we need some subsidies from our mansion. That's a matter of time. Anyway, it's still our family's.

Cheng Qiyun thought of this and smiled slightly and said, "Well. I understand. I will check the An Mansion in the past few days and build a 'nunciation' for the princess. There should be nothing big in the capital."

Chu Ling looked at Cheng Qiyun curiously. She was so angry that she seemed to have been scouted. Why did she look up in the blink of an eye? The lady’s mind was not only a man but a woman, but also a sister who had been with her for many years, but she still couldn’t guess it thoroughly.

"Has there been no news from the Hongmao?" Cheng Qiyun asked lazily, picking her nails without raising her head.

"Yes, Miss, it's really difficult to keep track of someone. In addition, she is very good at it. Our people are surveillance in six batches. However, when she arrived in Qingzhou, she walked through the back door of a silk shop and flashed through three alleys in succession, and disappeared. Our locals used many city foxes and clubs in Qingzhou, but they didn't find any news about her."

Cheng Qiyun's dark eyebrows frowned: "Zhou De'an has taken the seal general from the Ministry of War and has already gone south to take office. He has very high martial arts skills. After receiving the warning from the Jinyiwei, he is more careful and walks with the tax ship officers and soldiers who are going south. Smart people should not have wanted to find any opportunity to attack at this time.

But..... Before Zhou Dean left the capital, no one knew how he took office, the Hongniang had already gone to Shandong. Could it be that she had predicted that she would not have the chance to take action if she had known?"

Cheng Qiyun gently pinched her slender and beautiful chin and said sly: "She said... she wanted to poke a big hole in the sky for the adults to repair it. Humph! I want to know what big things this stupid woman can do! We also go to Shandong. She will not leave her father-killing enemies and run there to wander around, unless she is a lover. But her lover is busy making money in Beijing to build a new house, but she doesn't live in Qingzhou. There must be a ghost in this matter! Let's go and have a look!"

Chu Ling rolled her eyes playfully: "If someone has a ghost, you will be gone? After all, she is still worried about Lord Yang's words, "I have never taken the initiative to chase women, you are the first one." Alas! The lady is so great, she is a woman after all, and she can't take care of the people around her when she gets jealous."

Cheng Qiyun seemed to notice her thoughts, and a pair of amazing charming eyes narrowed dangerously, with a row of thin white teeth showing off from her red lips: "Ling'er, what are you thinking?"

"Ah! No! The little maid is thinking...... There has been no news from Sister Chu Yan. Should I send someone to ask?"

"No need, Chu Yan is more sensible than you, Adni is not a good-looking lamp. Besides, there is also a Ma Lianer on them. He is also a nine-tailed vixen who has been practicing for thousands of years. What's more, the three of them are mainly responsible for half of the land in Jiangnan. With the help of veterans such as Wu Jiyuan and Xu Jing, as well as officials such as Gu, Qian Zhenfu, Lord Min, and General Han, what else can they do?"

Chu Ling said dissatisfiedly: "Miss always praises Ma Lian'er for being so powerful. I can't tell you that apart from her beauty. How powerful is she? What are her skills? Humph, if you talk about her talents and abilities, you don't need to come forward, even a maid, and you will be more confident than her!"

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "You can't see that she is powerful, that's really powerful. You are good at planning things, but you are the best. Ma Lian'er is good at controlling people, and he is the best. Really controlling people is the spring breeze and rain. It moistens things silently, making you unable to feel it, but you unknowingly enter it. That is the great ability.

In terms of appearance, Lian'er is the best among the wives and concubines of adults. I may not be as good as her. However, among the wives and concubines of adults, she is the most pitiful one. She has already been a great man. For the sake of his reputation, she has to stay in Jiangnan silently. She has no reputation, no care of her, and even when she gave birth to a child, she is not around.

Now that the adults are planning to Liu Jin, they dare not escape to visit her, but she has no regrets and has no complaints. Do you think Ma Lian'er is the kind of kind man who is a kind of concise man? Hey! I don't even look at the adults' temper and character. If I don't say it, I feel that she is indebted to her endlessly.

You wait. No matter who is a good wife or a concubine, if you enter the Yang Mansion in the future, no one can surpass her position in Lord Yang’s heart except the eldest lady! There is also the eldest daughter of an adult who can call her father before she can see her father. How can he love her to make up for the guilt of a father? Haha, enduring the pain of two years of lovesickness will bring endless love for a lifetime. It’s worth it! If it were me, I would have to endure it!"

Chu Ling said astonishedly: "So amazing! She... is really pitiful to everyone. I think adults are cruel. Although there is nothing to do with everything, it is too unfair to such a beautiful lady, but she is willing to accept it. It turns out... it turns out... it turns out... it's still a lady, and only you can see it."

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "If she is smart, she is smart here. So what if you see it? She has suffered and suffered it. Who dares to say these words to adults? That is to provoke discord. You can tell there is nothing you can do. Are you smart or not?

However, Ma Lian'er does love adults deeply. It is understandable to have adult affection and love for her children. At first, everyone disliked me, so only Lian'er encouraged me to marry adults because she loved adults deeply and knew that I helped them. Adults have great achievements and need some effective help. I also appreciate her ability and scheming."

After Cheng Qiyun said that, she sighed quietly, and the jealousy smell came up again: "What a pity, no matter how great the ability is, it is not as good as luck. Whether it is her or me, she has tried her best and tried her best to get more pity from adults? Look at how capable the Hongmao is. When she sees the adult, her nose is not a nose or an eye. She draws her sword at every turn, and the adults are even rushing to chase her!

Humph! Let's go, I'm just searching An's house in Beijing. There will be no major problems in the past. Let's take this opportunity to go to Qingzhou. I see that her Hongmao praised Haikou and what holes would be pierced for us to repair them!"

"The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated in more than ten days. Grand Secretary Li has already filed a leave. He is going to return home to visit relatives. The emperor is right. This time, we will have to go back in spring."

"Well, Grand Secretary Li is so open-minded. Now Liu Jin is good at the court, so it's fine if he pretends to be deaf and dumb. Now Liu Jin has made a big revision of the officials. Lord Li actually wants to go back to his hometown to visit relatives. He is not afraid that when he returns to Beijing, all the officials in the capital will be unrecognizable and will never be able to 'clean up the old mountains and rivers' again?" Yang Ling took the fragrant tea handed over by Jiao Fang and raised his eyebrows.

As the end of the year approaches, the people change into new clothes, new hats, and clean houses to prepare for the New Year. Liu Jin is also busy, and he is busy with everything he has to worry about during the New Year. He is busy running around the inner and outer courts, and is busy cleaning up the officials' team.

Jiao Fang smiled slightly and his eyes flashed. Regarding the princess's love, he decided to keep silent and watch. Yang Ling always went to the wrong place in politics. In order to get rid of Liu Jin, he would go too far to get rid of Liu Jin. Even if he could kill Liu Jin with one blow, he would bring many troubles in the officialdom. At least he could not participate in political affairs with a legitimate attitude.

Then he must rely on the land, mainly the emperor's trust and find ways to become a representative of a large interest group, so as to have an absolute influence on the government. In this way, the real power will not be affected, and he will live in seclusion behind the scenes, attacking and defending when advancing. There is never a possibility of being criticized in the political arena.
To be continued...
