Chapter 864: Drenched in hot oil
Chapter 864 Drenched in hot oil
Entering the familiar inner hall of Xuande Hall through the main hall, and kneeling on the familiar stone slab, Jiang Erye felt better. He saluted in a proper manner and said loudly, "Chen Jiang Feng greets my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"Aiqing, get up and talk to me."
"Xie Long live." Although Long live's voice was as gentle as before, Jiang Erye was confused.
Jing Hedi, who was reviewing the memorial, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Feng, and chatted, "What are you busy with these days?"
Jiang Erye immediately bowed and replied, "Long live back. According to the instructions of the governor, I will inspect the market, check the tax amount this year and the detailed accounts of the yamen's expenses, and send the yamen's salaries. Today, I am visiting Xicheng. Dove-headed stick man."
After Jiang Erye replied, he continued, "Long live, there are forty-eight more elderly people over the age of 70 in Xicheng this year than last year. This is all because Long live your benevolent government, rule the world with filial piety, and make I can support the people in their old age so that they can live a long and healthy life.”
Emperor Jing He, who was making the memorial, still didn't speak, and Erye Jiang continued to speak, "I visited ten elderly households today and found that they were all able to eat and clothe themselves, but their teeth were not neat, so I wanted to tell the governor The adults asked for instructions to add a special expense in Xicheng to fill dentures for the elderly who have missing teeth in Xicheng. This does not cost much money, but it can make the elderly have good teeth and good health. "
Jing Hedi finally said, "Gold geometry for dentures?"
You finally opened your mouth to speak, Jiang Erye felt a little relieved, and respectfully replied, "Long live, the price of fillings is not the same. Gold and ivory are expensive, and a tooth must be dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver. , the ointment and animal teeth are cheap, and a tooth ranges from 30 to 40 yuan to 100 yuan. Elderly people over the age of 70 in Xicheng can not use a hundred taels to fill three to four teeth per person. The special money allocated by the yamen to take care of the hometown is enough.
King and Emperor continued to ask, "Can cheap dentures work?"
Jiang Erye replied, "Long live back, the old man has little bite force, the food he likes to eat is soft and easy to digest, and cheap dentures can be used. They are afraid of losing or swallowing expensive dentures, so they are reluctant to use them. Only they can use it with confidence. The old housekeeper in the minister's house is seventy-three years old. He lost two front teeth. The minister gave him two ivory tusks. "
Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng, the great general in front of the hall standing next to Emperor Jinghe, didn't hold back, his shoulders shook several times.
Jing Hedi was also shocked, "Aiqing said 'pig teeth'?"
Jiang Erye replied, "Exactly. The dentists in the market are very smart. They grind pig teeth into dentures and stick them in human mouths with ointment, which is both beautiful and strong. The old housekeeper in the minister's house used it for more than half a year. Pig tusk, the minister thought he used ivory, until they leaked it in front of the minister, the minister did not know."
"Hahaha—" Emperor Jing He laughed out loud, and Ye Qingfeng, who was almost suffering from internal injuries, also laughed out loud.
Yang Feng also laughed, and among the Kangan officials, Jiang Fenger was the only one who could make Long Live, who had not smiled for half a month, laugh.
Long live and laughed, and Jiang Erye laughed along with him, and he felt a lot more at ease.
Jinghe Di laughed for a while, and said to Jiang Feng, "How about the ivory of the old butler in Aiqing's mansion?"
Jiang Erye replied, "Long live back, because the butler is the face of the one house, and the front teeth are the face of the old housekeeper, so the minister deliberately spent a lot of money - fifty-five taels of silver. The two pig teeth that the old housekeeper secretly exchanged were used. It’s more than 70 words, but it looks better than ivory, so the minister sees that the old housekeeper is comfortable, so I let him.”
It is best to use what is comfortable, Jing Hedi nodded, "The housekeeper in Aiqing's mansion is over seventy years old, why does Qing spend silver taels to fill his dentures instead of changing a housekeeper?"
Jiang Erye didn't know why Long Live was concerned about the affairs of his mansion, so he replied truthfully, "Long live back. When the great-grandfather of the minister was alive, the old butler was the butler of the court's mansion. It was the second housekeeper and the third housekeeper. The old housekeeper usually sat and basked in the sun, but when someone from the courtier came uninvited, and the housekeeper and the concierge were not easy to block, the deaf old housekeeper came forward and stopped them from the door. "
"Aiqing can treat servants kindly, know people well, and be kind." Emperor Jing He looked at Jiang Feng and suddenly asked, "Did Jiang Aiqing visit Nie Aiqing's parents?"
Nie Aiqing, who Jinghe Emperor mentioned, was the imperial envoy who was sent to Jiuquan, Gansu Province earlier this year, and died in Jiuquan on December 16th - Nie Linjiang, the head of the Ministry of War. The Nie family lives in Qunxianfang in Xicheng, and his pair of high halls are still alive.
"Long live back, the first home that the minister went to was Master Nie's house in Qunxianfang. Master Nie's pair was so high that you sent the imperial doctor to take care of him, and his health is no longer in harm's way. When the minister went, they were very grateful for the kindness of Long Live."
The Nie family has suffered many disasters this year. In addition to the murder of Nie Linjiang, the pillar of the family, Nie Linjiang's eldest son also drowned in an "accident" in October this year. The eldest son and grandson are both dead, how could Erye Jiang dare to describe the pitiful appearance of the second elder of the Nie family to Wan Sui. According to the words, when you say this, you can turn to Suzhou naturally. But at this time, Jiang Erye was a little hesitant.
If he didn't meet Wuyuntai outside the palace gate, Jiang Erye would have an impassioned discussion, and then he would bring his son back to Suzhou. But now he dared not and could not say it. Now his mind is full of Jing Jiliang, and there may be something about the Zuo Prime Minister who wants him to go to Suzhou. Everyone around him knows it, and everyone hides it from him and doesn't want him to go...
Wu Yunshan stood outside the palace gate and shouted, perhaps it was instructed by Long Live. Long live wants him to go to Suzhou, can he not go? If he goes to Suzhou, can he come back alive? Will Wanzai send someone to stop the Qin family and protect his family?
At this time, the hall was silent, as if the scene of laughter just now had never happened. Jing Hedi saw Jiang Feng's hesitation, and he was not in a dilemma. Jiang Feng is timid and pure, can he really pacify the chaos in Suzhou?
Emperor Jinghe got up, bypassed the jade case, and walked towards Jiang Feng. Ye Qingfeng, the general in front of the hall, was a little gloating, while Yang Feng, the chief **** of the inner palace, raised his heart.
The Taifu's words made sense. Yang Feng personally went to invite Jiang Feng into the palace and took him to the main hall of Xuande Hall, all in the hope that he could invite him to Suzhou - when he returned from Suzhou, he would definitely be able to enter the court hall and stand in the hall. In the face of Long Live, power and wealth are at your fingertips. But at this time, Yang Feng was a little hesitant. If Jiang Feng was sent out of Beijing, no one in the court would be able to make Wan Sui laugh.
Jing Hedi slowly walked to Jiang Feng who lowered his head and asked, "Jiang Aiqing?"
Jiang Erye, who was hesitating and struggling, heard Long Live's voice so close, and subconsciously raised his head to look up - he was the only one who dared to do this in Chaozhong, apart from a few patriarchs.
At this glance, Jiang Erye saw the bloodshot and tiredness in Wansui's eyes, and he also found Wansui's sideburns, his white hair lit by the sunlight that slanted through Zhuhu. These white hairs made Jiang Erye's eyes tremble. Long live the same age as the eldest brother, and there are actually white hairs on his temples. He was so worried that he would grow white hair.
He is Long Live, the master of the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is a minister, the ruler of heaven and earth is a teacher, and as a minister, he should share the worries and relieve labor for Long Live!
Jiang Erye's nose was sore and his head was hot, and he fell to his knees and said loudly, "Chen Jiang Feng is not talented, I would like to serve the long-lived pommel horse and go to Suzhou to thoroughly investigate the truth of the death of the two imperial envoys. Long live your permission. "
