Yang Fengzhong is an old minister of the four dynasties who came from the "country between the foundation of the country". He is famous among the scholars. Nowadays, there are also many Qingliu bosses.

He was the prefect of the capital of Shandong and Ji and Nanfu. In addition, he knew that Governor Huang would come to congratulate him in person, so naturally aroused a thousand waves, and the officials in Shandong were thrust into groups.

Now that Yang Fengzhong's mother's birthday is over, even if she doesn't want to hold a big banquet, there are too many people who come to congratulate her.

In front of the Yang Mansion, there were traffic and crowds of people. There were all high-ranking officials and great scholars, and ordinary people could not come to the front of the door at all!

Zhu Xu stood not far away, looked at the gate of the Yang Mansion, and smiled and said, "The old house that has been more than ten years old looks ordinary, right?"

Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything, but just arched his body slightly. He was holding a big box in his hand, carefully, with a complete set of tableware inside, which cost 800 taels on the market and needed to be taken lightly.

"Mr. Han, please, please, please, please..."

"Oh, Lord Zhao, if you can come, Penghu Shenghui..."

"Mr. Tao, please please, please, please inform the master, come here in person, Mr. Tao is here..."

The front door of the Yang Mansion seemed to be blocked, and the butler of the Yang Mansion came and went without touching the ground.

Zhu Xu observed it and waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and see it."

Before Zhu Xu got up, the butler of the Yang Mansion came up. Looking at Zhu Xu's outfit, he said in confusion: "I don't know which family the young master is from, so it's easy to register the young one."

With a bang, Zhu Xu opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "I am the nephew of Lord Lu of the capital. I know that Mrs. Yang is on her birthday and I have to come and congratulate her."

The housekeeper was puzzled. After all, many people with the surname Lu were qualified to enter the house.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, knowing that he wanted to look down on others, and said lightly: "Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel."

No matter who it is, you should carefully invite Zhu Xu in just the four words "Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel". The butler's face suddenly changed and he said happily: "Please, please, please come in the young master!"

Zhu Xu fanned the folding fan and walked into it with a coquettish look.

After walking a few steps, Yang Fengzhong hunched over and walked over quickly, with many people following behind him.

Yang Fengzhong looked surprised and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Is the nephew who is Dai Lu coming?"

Zhu Xu took the box from Cao Bianjiao and smiled and said, "Junior Zhu Muyu, this is a gift, please don't dislike Lord Yang."

Yang Fengzhong looked at Zhu Xu, and while asking his servant to take the gift, he said with praise: "The nephew is handsome and has an extraordinary expression. It is worthy of being a family education. Please, by the way, let me tell you about Lord Lu. I haven't seen him for two or three years."

Yang Fengzhong is actually not familiar with Lu Daqi, but Lu Daqi is now the Minister of Personnel, with a high position and a powerful position. No one has to be careful, even Yang Fengzhong has the intention of "flattering up" to him.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the official hat in the world!

Zhu Xu followed Yang Fengzhong in and looked at the layout of the Yang Mansion, while casually said: "My uncle sent a letter yesterday, asking the younger generation to act in a low-key manner and not to be arrogant. There were also many changes in the court. Mr. Yuan from the Ministry of Rites was unwell and had already handed over a memorial to retire and return home. I heard that the emperor was hesitating, but Mr. Yuan was old and in good health, so he was inevitable to return home. Mr. Zhang from Liaodong might be transferred to the Ministry of Justice, and Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Justice would be transferred to the Ministry of Rites. My uncle didn't say much about other arrangements."

Yang Fengzhong's eyes flashed when he heard this. These alone were enough!

There is no news in the court yet. If it is true, there will be enough operating time!

Yang Fengzhong was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He pulled Zhu Xu and walked quickly into the walk, "Nephew, sit up, please, don't be polite to me, if you have any needs, just say it!"

Zhu Xu responded without movingly, but his eyes were looking at the Yang Mansion.

Paving the roads in bluestone, cherished trees, rockery, running water, and basin picking, it seems very ordinary, and it is extremely exquisite everywhere. It is the kind of luxury that scholars advocate, ordinary, and outsiders look confused, while those insiders are shocked.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. At this time, it is not easy to find a clean official. Even if they all claim to be a clean stream, they are actually gold and jade.

Yang Fengzhong arranged Zhu Xu on the table in the main hall, and under the gaze of a group of people, he shouted, "Nephew, I'm sorry, I'm not very entertaining, you sit down first, I will go to Beijing in a few days and apologize to Mr. Lu in person..."

Zhu Xu was naturally polite, but he looked at the people on the table but didn't recognize him, and there were still many vacant ones. Obviously, he had not met a real distinguished guest yet.

Before Yang Fengzhong left, the housekeeper came over and whispered in his ear: "Sir, I've asked about a set of glass tableware, at least eight hundred taels!"

Yang Fengzhong was shocked again, glanced at Zhu Xu quietly, and whispered: "Come to me. If you are a little bit negligent, don't blame me for turning against you!"

The housekeeper naturally knew the dignity of this "Zhu Muyu" and responded repeatedly.

Zhu Xu could vaguely hear a trace, smiling without saying a word.

He came today to see how the so-called iconic figure of Qingliu celebrated my mother's birthday.

How many victims can this money and the gifts received?

"Student Chen Zilong, I have met Lord Yang."

Just as Yang Fengzhong was about to leave, Chen Zilong and Liu Rushi came towards each other, and Chen Zilong said loudly.

Yang Fengzhong knew Chen Zilong. After all, Chen Zilong's father Chen Suwen was the head of Shuntian Prefecture. He was in the same province as the political party, and was one level higher than Yang Fengzhong, the prefect. He suppressed his impatientness and smiled politely, "There is also here, the housekeeper, arrange seats for the people, and treat them well, and do not neglect them, do you know?"

As for the women's clothing, Liu Rushi, who looked quite dignified and beautiful, was directly ignored by Yang Fengzhong.

If it was the usual arrangement, Chen Zilong would naturally be very happy, but he saw Zhu Xu at a glance, and he couldn't help but look slightly condensed, and he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, sir."

Liu Rushi also saw Zhu Xu, but his expression was not surprised. He bent his body slightly and wanted to follow Chen Zilong to turn to the table in the yard.

Zhu Xu nodded, thinking about how Liu Rushi's piano skills were. He would listen carefully later.

Yang Fengzhong saw the movements of Liu Rushi and Zhu Xu, and felt aroused. He looked at Liu Rushi with a smile and said, "Miss Liu, my mother likes listening to the piano very much. Just sit in the lobby first, right next to Nephew Zhu."

Chen Zilong frowned immediately and his face looked ugly.

Liu Rushi was stunned. She naturally had no way to have the privilege of a "famous prostitute" in such an occasion. Besides, she would not object to sitting next to Zhu Xu, and she would walk over with a gentle salute.

Chen Zilong raised his hand and said to Yang Fengzhong, "Sir Yang, can the student sit in the lobby too? After all, I and Miss Liu are together."

The seats in the lobby were arranged long ago. It was extremely difficult to arrange one Zhu Xu and another Liu Rushi. If there were three, there would be more people offended, and Chen Zilong was not enough to let him continue to offend people.

He smiled and said with a smile: "It's all people, there are all peers outside, it's so lively. You'd better be outside, butler, entertain the good nephew."

Chen Zilong looked at Liu Rushi who had already sat down again, and then looked at Zhu Xu who was lukewarm. He felt angry, but he could only bite the bullet and go out, sit outside, staring at the two of them from afar.

The people at the table wanted to chat with Zhu Xu and get along. When they saw Liu Rushi sitting down, they didn't know how to speak.

Liu Rushi was wearing light green women's clothing, with a hint of tenderness between her eyebrows, and she seemed to have a seductive style in her dignity and beauty.

She turned slightly, beside Zhu Xu, and said softly, "Brother Zhu, do you need any help from my younger sister? I can go to the backyard."

Zhu Xu was stunned and held the wine glass and said, "What does Miss Liu mean?"

Liu Rushi had a naughty smile on his lips and said, "Brother Zhu can speak as long as he needs it."

Zhu Xu blinked, not knowing what Liu Rushi said, so she smiled and did not pursue it.

The Yang Mansion is really lively, with cars coming and going, like flowing water and horses like dragons, and a prosperous scene.

Yang Fengzhong has disappeared and I don’t know what to do.

Liu Rushi kept looking at Zhu Xu quietly. Seeing that he had no movement, he could not help but said, "Brother Zhu, do you know how much gifts the Yang Mansion has received?"

Zhu Xu was really interested in this and said, "How many?"

A hint of pride flashed across Liu Rushi's eyes. She looked at it quietly just now and leaned closer and whispered: "The total amount of silver has exceeded 20,000 taels, and other gifts are not included."

"Wow~"

Zhu Xu's eyes twitched. To calculate this, Yang's family's birthday this time would have to receive at least 50,000 taels of gifts!

It’s fifty thousand taels, a prefect’s salary of only 100 taels of silver per year. It will take at least a few hundred taels of silver to earn it honestly!

For the well-off family in the capital, ten taels of silver per month is enough to spend 5,000 families a month! As for disaster relief, how many victims can be saved, it is even more uncountable.

"In the fifth year of the Tianqi revelation, the tax on the entire Shandong was less than 30,000 taels of silver." Zhu Xu laughed, as a reward for Liu Rushi's information.

Liu Rushi frowned slightly when he heard this, and his expression was slightly cold. The tax-money of one province was only 30,000 taels, and a magistrate's mother received a gift of 50,000 taels during her birthday!

This matter sounds ridiculous, but it is still so open and honest, and full of peace!

She was already dissatisfied with the current stadium, and this time she had a deeper understanding.

Immediately, she looked at Zhu Xu with a smile and said, "Young Master Zhu really has a family background. You can know anything like this."

Zhu Xu vaguely understood that Liu Rushi might have smelled the smell from so many words he said last time, smiling without saying a word.

Sooner or later, his words will reach the ears of those who should have heard them. This can be regarded as giving them a psychological expectation in advance. What the court really wants to do, their reaction will not be too intense.

"Mr. Huang is here..."

Suddenly, the butler of the Yang Mansion at the gate shouted, which was more like a sing.

Yang Fengzhong came out of nowhere and trotted over to meet him.

At the same time, guests in the yard and the lobby all stood up and faced the gate.
Chapter completed!
