"Damn it, I'm convinced!"

Hu Guan was convinced and promiscuous when he listened.

"You deserve such a high-ranking official, and you deserve to stand firm in the holy heart. The thing about giving money to Master Wansui makes you say that you are the filial piety of a filial son and grandson. It seems that Master Wansui will not even feel sorry for him if he doesn't take your money!"

Li Jinglong had not finished speaking yet, "A minister is to share the worries of the king and father. Now the minister is the most powerful minister, but it is useless to ask for so much money. It is just a dead thing to keep it at home. I respect the emperor and kill more than one kill! Your Majesty, please give me this grace!"

Zhu Yunxi continued to look at the roses in the flower pot, "Hey, that's too much, how to use more than one million!"

"I feel sorry for you, but I'm not happy if I give you less!"

Li Jinglong said in a heart-hearted voice, and said with a smile, "If you can't finish it, you can save it. You have to take care of the huge rivers and mountains, and there will be more places to spend money in the future!"

"Your rose is good!" Zhu Yunxiu pointed to the flower pot and said, "Let me go in a while and get me a few pots. The palace is full of gem bonsai, which is incomparable to your green and green!"

"I will send it myself when I go back!" Li Jinglong smiled. "I have raised more than a dozen gardeners in the village outside the city. Not only did I plant roses, clavicles, peony and peony. Every few days from now on, I will send a few pots to the emperor. In the middle of winter, I will put this in the house and feel comfortable looking at it..."

"Your grandma, you are even bigger than the emperor. There is actually a gardener who specializes in growing flowers in your family?" Hu Guan continued to curse in his heart.

"Hey, it's better for you to live a good life!" Zhu Yunxi smiled with his hands behind his back.

"Long live, please give me a favor. I'm here to eat. Are you here to eat?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

~~

The place for meals is in the flower room.

Li Jinglong's daughter-in-law Deng came in and brought people to set up the table.

The porcelain and exquisite tableware collected at home are placed one by one.

After half a stick of incense, the dishes were served by Duke Cao personally.

First, there are four-flavor appetizers, nut spinach, stir-fried tremella scallops, chicken oil winter melon, coral cabbage.

The amount of each dish is not large, just the size of a dish in the mouth.

Then stewed crucian carp with dried winter bamboo shoots, burning onions, black fungus, tiger skin quail eggs, and snow vegetables and tofu.

Double winter stew duck, golden soup yellow croaker, fried crispy meat, roasted coupling, celery meatballs.

Two-flavor soup, milky mushrooms, West Lake beef soup.

The main food is shredded radish cake, sesame fire spoon, and elephant small soup bun.

The table is full of meat and vegetables, and everything is exquisite and makes people salivate.

"Grandma, is it time for the Chinese New Year?" Hu Guan said in his heart, "You can eat better than the emperor!"

"Emperor!" Li Jinglong moved a chair and carefully placed the fox leather cushion on it, and smiled, "There is nothing to prepare in a hurry, you will just take a bite!" As he said, he asked again, "I have Shaoxing Huang, who has been in my family for thirty years, I will warm you a small pot?"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the dishes on the table and smiled, "It's still hasty? Give you some time, you'll be able to compare the state banquet!"

This is the worldly style, and wealthy families never tire of fine food and fine food in their diet. This is also said that they dare not be too arrogant under the emperor's nose. Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang and other places, wealthy families are extremely luxurious.

The Ming Dynasty was an era of extravagance.

Perhaps because of the highly developed economy, folk luxury has become a trend.

"Your Majesty, try this West Lake beef soup!" Li Jinglong had a good small red bowl under glaze in his hand, and he was served with a silver spoon. "This cow died of illness by the monk Zhuangzi, and has been registered in Yingtian Mansion."

For those who are not registered, the court explicitly prohibits eating beef, but if these princes and nobles want to eat it, who can stop them?

"Hu Guan!" Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of the soup, which was indeed tender and smooth. He greeted, "Come here, accompany me!"

"I dare not!" Hu Guan bowed.

"Mr. Prince Consort, don't refuse." Li Jinglong stepped forward to invite him, "No one is outsider, just treat it as a family dinner." As he said that, he pressed Hu Guan onto the stool.

Hu Guan looked at the table of dishes and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Your mansion is not so luxurious, right?" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Hu Guan shook his head, "That is, during festivals, the princess will bring people to make some dumplings, stew some meat, and make some snacks!"

Although he was born in a marquis, his family was not good. To be honest, if he was not Princess Nankang's son-in-law, he might not even be able to make up for the errands of Jinwu Guard.

He is not the eldest son, he has an older brother, and his title cannot fall on him. What is his salary enough? He has been a son-in-law for so many years, and he still needs Princess Nankang to supplement him.

"The rich and wealthy Duke of Cao, since they are all relatives, you can come to make Qiufeng often in the future!" Zhu Yunyu picked up a piece of fried shrimp ball in his mouth, "Okay, the food is indeed better than in the palace!"

"If the emperor likes it, eat more!" Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please use your chopsticks!"

As he said that, he sat down next to Zhu Yunxiu and smiled in a silver pot and said, "Speaking of this, I haven't been with you for such a meal for some days! I still have some seafood in my family. In a few days, I will have time to wait for the chef. I asked the chef to make a Buddha jump over the wall and send it to you to the palace!"

"You are so flattering, please ask me if you have something to do?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

"See what you said, I am loyal..."

"In theory, you are eating and drinking, and paying for money. I don't have any trouble for you. I'm using someone with short hands and soft mouths!" Zhu Yunxiu said while eating, "But do you think your affairs can be described in just a few words?"

Li Jinglong put down the wine pot and listened with his ears.

"If you make a mistake, just the money you have been paying for in secret over the years, how do you ask me to deal with?" Zhu Yunxiu ordered the dishes on the table, "I can't pretend I don't know, right?"

"What the emperor said is that I am guilty! I accept the punishment!" Li Jinglong stood up and said respectfully.

"You will definitely be dissatisfied with punishment. Besides, as you said, you do things that are harmless, that is, you will not commit small things constantly!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "You have dealt with you seriously. People say I am mean and polite. But if you don't deal with it, what do you want outsiders to think?"

"At this time, the emperor was still thinking about me, I was so ashamed!" Li Jinglong said, and looked at Hu Guan again.

"What the hell do you think? Can I still talk about it all over the world?" Hu Guan cursed in anger.

"But you, you win in the heart. Among the civil and military officials in the court, you can solve my difficulties." Zhu Yunyu picked up a shredded radish cake and continued, "Today you have another great achievement. You know me, and the rewards and punishments are clear! But I just dealt with you and have exempted all official positions. It would be a bit ridiculous to reward you now!"

"I can't even think about official positions. As long as the emperor has a minister in his heart, I will be satisfied!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"I'm still doing the job of the minister, so be careful!" Zhu Yunxiu thought for a while and put down the shredded radish cakes in the chopsticks. "When I came, I found that the streets in the inner city were so dirty. I'll give you an official position!"

"What official position?" Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat.

"A street cleaner!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "How can the world be left if you don't sweep a house? You are grinding your character. You Duke Cao is clean in front of you, only sweeping the snow in front of your own house, but half of the street belongs to yours, how can you do this?"

"I... have I become the street sweeping?" Li Jinglong complained in his heart, but had to thank him.

~~

After taking it for a while, Zhu Yunyu returned to the palace with satisfaction with a few pots of roses.

Hu Guan was at the end and was called to stop before leaving the Duke Cao's mansion.

"Mr. Prince Consort, please stay!" Li Jinglong came up with a smile.

"What's the matter with Duke Cao?" Hu Guan bowed.

"Look, why are you so polite? You are higher than me in terms of title!" Li Jinglong laughed.

"I am not as powerful as you, nor are I as powerful as you!" Hu Guan whispered in his heart.

Then the next second, my eyes were stunned.

I saw a three-foot-high jade Buddha, snow-white, picked up by the servants of the Li family.

"I didn't catch up with the full moon wine of the third young master in the mansion. The man wore Guanyin and the woman wore Buddha. This jade Guanyin just happened to protect the safety of the third young master!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.

"How can this make it happen? No, no!" Hu Guan said hurriedly.
