The emperor was speechless at the moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was understandable for him not to recognize Wen Le. The two brothers of the Wen family had changed a lot since they came back from Fuchun. Le's whole body was also starved to death. When His Majesty first heard the two of them claiming their names, he was also stunned for a long time, and then he began to wonder what kind of poor and wicked place Fuchun was, so that they were given to the two of them. The torture became like this.

But as a military commander, what he can't bear the most is tears. Wen Le has lost so much weight, most of the young people in this generally old group look like sixteen or seventeen years old, with a grinning mouth It's really hard to hate, when the emperor was dizzy from crying, he couldn't think of anything, only angry.

"That's a first-class noble!" The emperor glared at Liu Kun angrily, and pointed at Wen Le, who looked the smallest. Wen Run took a step back with an embarrassed expression, allowing Liu Kun to look carefully. Liu Kun's expression instantly became numb. up.

He has met Wen Le, and has seen it many times. Is this the third-bedroom young master of the Wen family?Cut in half?

Seeing that his cousin didn't speak, Liu Bing felt a little nervous, so he said first, "It really wasn't on purpose."

Liu Kun glared at Liu Bing, he was not guilty, he did what he did, what can he deny?Although he never thought that the Wen family would have the courage to come to Yuqian to find an explanation, but if they really came, he had nothing to be afraid of, not to mention Wen Le's gentle appearance, which was given to Liu Kun at the beginning. He only has the impression of crying. As Wu, Liu Kun really doesn't think there is anything to be cautious about a little boy who loves to cry.

However, he was not so stupid as to admit that he was the main emissary. The emperor's attitude towards him is no longer as tolerant as before when he was not enthroned. He dared to find the Wen family unhappy under such circumstances, because he knew the emperor's attitude towards the Wen family. His impatience is stronger than his own. He has read too many military books, and he still holds the deadly belief that the enemy's enemy is his friend. He doesn't know how to adapt at all, and he didn't expect that the emperor after ascending the throne would change from the previous one. so big.

He bowed his waist towards Wen Le carelessly, and said generously: "My lord, this cousin has been ignorant since he was a child. If he offends the lord in any way, I hope the lord will see that he is still young." For the sake of the noble hand, the lower officials are very grateful."

In fact, compared with his usual interactions with other people in the court, his submissiveness this time is really commendable. Usually, even if he is beaten to the point of bleeding, the other party may not be able to hear him apologize, but today he is so happy to plead guilty. The reason is that apart from the difference in status and the fact that the current situation is different from the past, it is also a big reason for him to see Wen Le pleasing to the eye. He messed up the funeral of the old lady of the Wen family and made the younger generation cry in the hall. It's hard to avoid the feeling of being bullied by yourself.

But Wen Le didn't like him, snorted coldly and twitched: "Dare to ask the guard, brother Ling will be over [-] this year? He is still young, how much older is he? If you say that Just now, his grandmother chopped him off with an ax when she uttered nonsense in front of her coffin, and now she can use her young age to deceive the saint online? You have learned a lot!"

Liu Kun was a little impatient, thinking that a civil servant is a civil servant, he is not a patient person if he doesn’t talk politely, and he doesn’t show his real name for a long time. After accepting it, he turned around and bowed to the emperor: "The sage is wise, the lower officials are dull, I don't know what the Sir wants to do."

The emperor rubbed his forehead, already feeling a headache, he hurriedly asked Wen Le, "It's useless to be sad even now, what should I do if I'm a colleague in the court?"

Wen Le didn't answer, and squatted on the ground covering his face and began to wail loudly.

Even though Wen Run knew that he was acting, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He waved his sleeves and said righteously: "Your Majesty, please allow Caomin to say something more. If the defenders say sorry, they can easily expose this matter. Then Sir, there was no need to hurry to the palace just now to ask His Majesty to take care of you, but you can easily do it outside the palace. Your Majesty and His Majesty the late Emperor were also father and son. The rare and rare treasures are here just to make His Majesty the late Emperor happy for a while. In this case, His Majesty should understand the love of Caomin and the Lord for the children and grandchildren. I'm afraid it will be hard to find peace in the future, such sinister intentions can be exposed with a single apology, and then the court will follow suit in the future and take revenge on the enemy's family, will there be no peace for those who are descendants of the court?"

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, thinking that what he said made sense.Wen Run usually doesn't stand out in front of him, so he didn't have any impression of Wen Run. Only then did he remember that the young man with good features and slightly dark skin who had been standing next to Wen Le seemed to be Wen Le's own brother. The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at Wen Run's Looking at her face, why do these facial features look familiar...?

King Jianjun suddenly poked him in the waist, winked at him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wen said is true, the officials in the court should be more sensible, if a method like the garrison commander It’s really not good to hear it spread.”

Liu Shoujun naturally heard what he said, and cursed angrily: "What do you mean by admonishing the king of the county! What is the method of being an official? It is clearly the ignorant behavior of the younger brother of the official. sinister!?"

King Jianjun just glanced at him indifferently, but the emperor was furious: "Shut up, Liu Kun!"

Liu Shoujun was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his senses. He glanced at Wen Run, who was calm and calm, and Wen Le, who was still crying.

The brothers who have been born and died for so many years are not of the same parents, and now they can even block his eyes when they talk.

Except for a few sycophants, almost no one in the court likes the King of Admonishment.But King Jianjun knew this clearly, but he was inseparable from time to time with the emperor. He had no military achievements or political achievements. It was not the first time that the emperor proposed to make him a prince. After being suppressed, Liu Kun couldn't help thinking——Why!

Wen Le wiped away his tears, his hands were dry, he couldn't really cry, tears were just marketing tactics.

Liu Shoujun is stupid, he doesn't take his reputation seriously, he thinks the whole world is like this, but Wen Le doesn't think so, taking Wu's hand, is it possible that he really wants to embarrass Wu?Wu didn't have any resources that he could use. Of course, his intention was to use Liu Kun to seek benefits from the emperor.

He tried his best to ignore the unhappiness in his heart when he saw the flirtatious eyes between Wen Run and King Jianjun. He had something serious to do right now.

The king of Jianjun and the emperor began to whisper, and after a while, the emperor gave Liu Kun a look of resentment, and called two young eunuchs to take the brothers of the Liu family out.There were only a few members of the Wen family left in the hall, and King Jianjun thought about it, and then sent the elder Wen family away.

The elder obviously knew what was going to happen later. When he turned around, he looked at the Wen Le brothers with naked eyes. After he was dismissed from office, he understood the benefits of identity. He had had enough of the far worse treatment in the past, and he only hoped that the Wen Le brothers would remember some of his benefits.

……

After haggling from the palace for about an hour, it was after lunch before the Wen family brothers were able to come out.

Master Wen was sent back to the mansion a long time ago. Now that he has already picked up the chopsticks, Wen Le rubbed his stomach and said a little unhappy, "I don't even keep a meal for you, and I want to see what kind of style imperial cuisine is."

Wen Run looked at him tenderly, and reached out to pinch his face: "Nowadays Fuzhou Port is in disaster, food from all over the world is going to help, only saving is not wasted. Imperial food is not necessarily so rich, the emperor and the king of Jianjun may only You can eat a dozen dishes, and there is nothing to eat."

Wen Le broke his hands angrily and said: "Why do you know everything? Have you seen Yushan and eaten Yushan? The dozen or so dishes mentioned are not like dishes. Let's Fuchun and mother have dinner, at most it will be delicious." There are only eight dishes."

"That's because they are frugal." Wen Run could always find his own reasons. He felt that Wen Le seemed to be unhappy again for no reason. He couldn't think of what happened just now, so he said, "Let's go back home together Then take Lonicera to the Ministry of Households to ask for a roster? Or do you have another itinerary?"

Wen Le looked up at the sky, frowning: "Go home."

The masters in the mansion didn't have lunch either, the concierge saw the two brothers coming back, and hurriedly took them to the hall, where the masters were said to be waiting for them to come back.The courtyard in the north is relatively empty. Walking along the way, you can rarely see the flower wall that Fuchun likes to weave. It is just a very simple tree barrier. Not far from the main courtyard where the old lady used to live, the largest one In one room is the main room for dinner which is rarely used by the Wen family.

The female relatives set a table and sat behind the screen, the family didn't pay as much attention when they were with outsiders, they couldn't see their faces and feet, it was nonsense between cousins, Wen Le paid attention to himself when he went up to greet Webster After a glance, he realized that Webster was wearing new clothes and sitting in the chair today.

He secretly laughed in his heart, as expected, the woman still couldn't escape and wanted to feel elated. These aunts in the Wen family had never paid attention to the third bedroom before, and they didn't even bother to pretend to be sad during the two days when the third master passed away. Did you ever expect that you would have a day to curry favor with the widow you once looked down upon?

After the food and wine were served, Wen Le accidentally noticed that there were only two plates of sautéed mushrooms on a table of meat and vegetables, one was shiitake mushrooms and the other was white mushrooms.

In the three months after the elders of the family left, the juniors in the family were supposed to wear vegetarian clothes and eat less meat. The girls were probably more careful, and they carefully selected unremarkable colors to wear, while the boys, the second master wore gray clothes. I don’t know why Xiu Mu didn’t change the court clothes beside him today. The elder was wearing a dark green padded robe, with a fiery red fox fur scarf around his neck, Wen Xianmin’s coat was goose yellow, and Wen Xianli’s forehead There are also flowers on the hairpin, and considering the dishes on this table, he hardly knows what to say. Although he has no affection for the old lady, he does as the Romans do. For his own sake, he can only put his head between his head and put the fried mushrooms near Wenrun to chew. work hard.

Wen Run probably knew what he was thinking, and secretly patted Wen Le on the back, picked out a few pieces of stewed radish from the stewed ham, and put them on the plate.

Although he paid attention to food and did not talk about it when eating, after Mr. Wen returned to the mansion, it was obvious that he had communicated with the whole mansion. Everyone was obviously very curious about what Wen Le Palace had said to the emperor. I just looked at the chief, making him even less in the mood to eat.

If the Wen family hadn't owed that fat man, Wen Le, he would never have been willing to have anything to do with them, he was too good at responding.

He ate a few mouthfuls casually, and as soon as he put down his chopsticks, the aunt on the other side of the screen seemed to have eyes in the sky, and asked: "Master, I told you when I came back. Once he went to the palace, he used all his prestige, if it wasn't for Le'er's return to Dadu, the Wen family would have lost their teeth and swallowed their blood for the grievances."

Wen Le raised his eyebrows and looked over there, thinking that the tricks he was talking about were left over from Wen Lian's play.

Wen Le didn't answer, the elder quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "Isn't that right! Le'er today... Well, anyway, that Liu suffered a lot!"

Wen Le glanced at him again, the old man prided himself on his innocence, I'm afraid he hadn't lied a few words since he could remember, now it's hard for him to praise his prestige just like Wen Le was crying.

Wen Le said disapprovingly: "Why should one family talk about two families. They didn't do anything. Liu Bing and Liu Kun are asking for trouble."

The Eldest Man chuckled, Dou Da's eyes widened: "Uncle Sheng couldn't speak in front of him, and was sent away by the King of Jianjun later, but he is not blessed to know the interesting things that happened later."

Seeing that Wen Le put down his chopsticks and rinsed his hands and mouth, but didn't talk about business, the elder was in a hurry, so he had to stand up.

Wen Le left his seat, whispered a few words in Fu Wenrun's ear, then threw the handkerchief back into the little maid's jug, and when he passed by the old man, he lightly patted him on the shoulder.

"If Uncle wants to return to his post, then there is no need to ask any more questions. Everyone knows what the situation of the Wen family is like now. Even if they can say a few words, it is still limited. I am afraid they will not be able to recover."

The elder's expression paled in an instant. Seeing Wen Le walking out the door, he sat quietly for a few breaths, then slowly picked up the chopsticks, chewing the food in his mouth without taste.

There was a fleeting look of joy on the second master's face, and then it quickly settled down. He looked left and right and looked across the screen to see the anger that could hardly be concealed on the doctor's face, and exchanged a tacit look with his husband.

……

Wen Le and the emperor are coming to ask for the ownership of the guards who went to Fuchun with him. This ownership does not mean that he can control these powers of life and death at will, but within a certain range, he has the right to transfer the rights of these guards who originally belonged to Dadu. Residents moved to other places.

At the beginning, he promised these soldiers that he would take them back to their homes. It was true that he was fooled by them. One was to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and the other was to keep the group motivated to work hard. But as time went by, everyone got along and slowly Slowly to have some feelings, as with Zheng Rui, he rarely takes the initiative to deceive.

Given a good opportunity this time, he naturally fulfilled the promise he promised. The emperor is still very generous. Perhaps the act of detaining the family members of the guards is just a routine matter. Whether those guards live or die is not that important to him. .Using these in exchange for Wen Le to shut up, why would he not do it? On the contrary, it is almost impossible to hope for the reinstatement of the Grand Master. The emperor managed to reduce the power of the Wen family with great difficulty. The second lord is gone, how can the elder lord who was finally driven out come back to court again?Sit back and watch the Wen family revive?

However, he was not stingy with some small favors, such as conferring the name of a scholar on the way to the old man's family, who can be regarded as a seventh-rank official, under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Academy, and has a good reputation, but the salary is pitifully small. There is no real power either.

The benefits of crying and wiping away tears are still very effective. After all, only children who can cry have milk.

The emperor obviously didn't hate Wen Le as much as when he first ascended the throne. In fact, they hadn't met a few times. This was the first time Wen Le met the saint since he came to this era. The emperor spoke kindly to him. It doesn't look like he wants to kill him and then hurry up.Both hatred and love can be resolved by time, if it is not necessary, Wen Le does not seem to regard the emperor as an imaginary enemy.

In short, I went to the household department with honeysuckle to get acquainted, and after getting the roster of the family members of the guards, Wen Le naturally didn't need to handle the contact. Seeing that the sun was westward, he casually strolled around the streets of most of the city , also wandered out of interest.

Dadu is fundamentally different from Fuchun. After the accumulation of history and culture, the prosperity of Dadu is unimaginable in many other places. I have never dared to compare myself with Dadu.Wen Le didn't have the opportunity to take a stroll here before, but now that he has time, he realizes that the ancient streets are really interesting.

The hawkers on the street are almost all in groups, those who buy cooking cakes and those who sell tofu nao are placed together, those who sell sesame seed cakes and those who sell wontons are also placed together, and there are men dressed like old scholars with long beards. Walking back and forth with candied haws, the shop is outside.The shops are all of a higher level of business, such as wine sellers, gold and jade wares. When he walked around the house, the attitude of the bosses was very good. When he walked around, he found the largest shop on the street. , Take a closer look, it turns out that what is being sold is cosmetics.

Yes, powder.

Wen Le laughed, and realized that those lacquered wooden boxes on the counter were the goods he supplied to Lin'an?Lin'an found the best cosmetics and improved them in the shopping mall. They were all made of food, and even the lacquered wooden boxes were made of imitation wood, but the Lu family regarded them as rare treasures. A wooden box can sell for two taels of silver more.

"Guest officer! Guest officer, please come and have a look. These are Lin'an high-quality cosmetics that just arrived. If you have a lovely wife at home, you must buy them and try them out!" Seeing Wen Le lingering at the door, the aunt behind the counter Immediately, she got excited, wandering up and down with a box of powder in her hands, and occasionally opened the trial pack to let Wen Le see how delicate the powder is.

Wen Le smiled, and walked over to slowly look at the pattern on the lacquered wooden box. This is the color he chose, and the painting is 160 five beauties in the distance. The above composition is not repeated, which seems to be a rare good thing in this era.

The aunt wiped the white powder on her fingers, and rubbed it on her eyes, and there was a white that Wen Le couldn't understand. She was quite satisfied with the sale: "How about it, look at it, guest officer, keeping it is the best white!"

Wen Le touched the box with a smile in his eyes: "How do you sell this? It looks quite novel."

The aunt smiled: "The guest officer really has a good eye, isn't this a rare thing? Only you can come across it in Zhibaozhai. Many young ladies and wives come here to make a reservation, and you may not be able to buy it. Today's new You bumped into the goods that arrived!" She swept Wen Le's clothes, robes and cloak up and down, even the jade pendant around her waist, and then she laughed even more happily, " This box is enough to last half a year, and with the cream made from the finest peach blossoms in Lin'an, a set of 50 taels is a must-have opportunity!"

"How much?" Wen Le's eyes widened. He remembered that this set of Lin'an was only sold for 20 taels of silver. How come it doubled here?

"Don't think it's too expensive!" The aunt made an expression, nodded the box and said, "I'm afraid it won't be long before this makeup powder becomes exclusive to ladies in the palace. , in the future, this cosmetic powder will become a tribute, and it will be even more difficult to buy!"

Wen Le smacked her tongue and walked out the door, ignoring the old lady's displeased expression, thinking in her heart, as expected, Dadu has a lot of stupid money here, so she must not let it go.

……

When he returned to the mansion, he didn't see anyone, so he went back to the house to freshen up and change his clothes. After drinking a cup of hot tea, he felt that he had regained some energy.

Chen Xiang and Shui Tong now have their own businesses, and Fu Chun's embroidery spinning and weaving workshops are inseparable from them. When Wen Le came back this time, he brought only two young maids, Ginkgo and Ming Liu, who were still young. Small, cautious but not calm enough for Chen Xiangtong. When Wen Le asked them about Wen Run's whereabouts, they looked at each other and replied in a low voice that they didn't know.

Wen Le thought it was still early, so he happened to go to Wen Run to have a chat, so he walked slowly to his courtyard.The original courtyard of Sanfang was not very big, and the courtyards of several masters were all very close to each other.

Several of Wen Run's subordinates guarded the entrance of the courtyard, and when they saw him coming, they all called out respectfully, Wen Le asked, "Where is your master?"

The one who took the lead was Wu Shiqi from Wen Run's dark guards. Wen Le recognized him. He glanced towards the inner courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, the king of Jianjun is inside."

Wen Le raised half of his brows at that moment: "The Patriarch said he wouldn't let Xianza wait in?"

Wu Shiqi scratched his head, took a step back and said, "My lord is probably allowed to go in, as I have ordered before."

Wen Le felt a little more at ease, and walked around to the study room that looked like it was lit. On the paper wall of the study room, two shadows were illuminated by the candlelight. They were sitting opposite each other. He walked up to him and wanted to push the door, but Suddenly I heard the voice of King Jianjun saying: "Fu Chun Fu Chun Fu Chun! You know Fu Chun, and the poor place can't even have enough to eat. What's so good about it!"——
