130. Huaxuan Ding Dining Visits the Rich Men

Although it was a private visit to friends, since Pei Nianyu wanted to put on a show, he went out in a saddle cart.He brought a small guard of honor with him, and the prince's guards at the front and back followed with umbrellas and double fans.

The palace has its own guards and guards for traveling, and they are all ordinary soldiers with low martial arts skills.However, the prince almost never went out with a guard of honor, and they hadn't been to work for almost 10,000 years. It was rare for the prince to go out once, so naturally he put on the most majestic posture.

And the dozen or so accompanying shadow guards were hidden all the way on both sides of the street, guarding around the car.

Lou Yefeng originally said that he would drive in front, but Pei Nianyu felt that sitting in the empty carriage was naturally very boring, so he pulled him into the car involuntarily.

It's just that the distance wasn't too far, and before he could do anything to his family Ye Feng in the car, he was almost at Cheng'enhou's mansion.Lou Yefeng suddenly whispered:

"Master, since I'm your shadow guard outside, it's hard to get out of your car together..."

Pei Nianyu was silent for a moment.

Indeed, although he regarded Lou Yefeng as his concubine, although the Dajing Dynasty was open to masculinity, there was no law for men to be official spouses.What's more, for a powerful person of his status, if he is surrounded by a man he loves, he will definitely be regarded as a male servant.

On the other hand, Pei Nianyu felt that it was completely unnecessary to explain to outsiders that Lou Yefeng was his beloved, it would only make them look at Lou Yefeng strangely and point fingers.

He was happy, but Lou Yefeng was not necessarily at ease.

Thinking of this, Pei Nianyu suddenly understood why Lou Yefeng was so inferior to his martial arts not recovered some time ago.And at the Winter Solstice Banquet last time, he had the obsession to get involved even if he messed around...

So Pei Nianyu nodded slightly and asked him to go out and sit in the driver's seat.

After a while, Lou Yefeng's voice outside the car suddenly sounded:

"Master, the Cheng'enhou Mansion has opened the main gate of the Lion Court to welcome you, do you want to stop and drive?"

Whether he is a palace or a palace, the main entrance is only opened for important ceremonies, imperial decrees, and royal appointments.Although he has a noble status as a prince, theoretically he shouldn't go the right way.

Sitting in the car, Pei Nianyu sneered silently.

It's fine for him to walk in through the main entrance today, but in the future, if a censor visits him and seriously oversteps, it will cause Pei Niancheng a lot of trouble for nothing.

I don't know whether Marquis Chengen's trick is to curry favor with him to show his importance, or... to get a handle on him.

In short, Pei Nianyu was upset for a while as soon as he came up.

"Don't stop, go around and enter through the side door."

"yes."

That Marquis Chengen, an old Marquis in his fifties who was approaching his sixtieth year, was originally waiting to welcome the prince in the main gate courtyard.Who would have thought that Marquis broke out in a cold sweat when he watched the prince's car from afar pass by without landing.

He didn't know that his flattery was on the horse's leg. It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Yu has been recuperating in the mansion since His Majesty ascended the throne, and has not been involved in government affairs for a long time.So he had no way of knowing the temperament of this prince, but he never expected that he would be so cautious and respectful.

So Marquis had to go to the side door in the middle of the east to meet him instead.He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the car in time, so he dragged his heavy body to the side door stupidly.

When Pei Nianyu arrived at the side door, the carriage and horse fell to the ground, Lou Yefeng raised the curtain of the carriage with one hand, and went forward to help it with the other.

Pei Nianyu got out of the car with his hand, and seeing many messengers from the Houfu waiting in front of the door, he touched it immediately.He straightened his facial expression, put on an indifferent expression, and then walked forward, letting Lou Yefeng silently follow behind him.

It's just that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the old Hou Ye who had met once last time running out of breath. After seeing him, he had to pay a visit.

Pei Nianyu thought about it and figured out what was going on. Although he had made a scene, there was no need for the elderly Marquis to kowtow three times and bow six times.He waved his hand and said:

"It doesn't have to be like this, it's a courtesy."

He saw a man in his thirties beside old Marquis, dressed as a Confucian scholar.His demeanor is peaceful, and his facial features are acceptable, but there is a dark gloomy look at the corners of his eyes.

Pei Nianyu asked casually:

"Who is this……?"

"This is Gouzi, the oldest in the mansion."

After all, the younger generation moved neatly, but they paid homage to the end:

"Your official Imperial Academy records Chen Kangwen, please refer to the prince."

The book of the Imperial Academy is just a mere eighth-rank official, so when meeting the prince, it is natural to give a big gift.

However, Pei Nianyu was slightly surprised:

"It turned out that he was born as a Jinshi, so his knowledge should be good, and there is no need to worry about his future in the future."

It seems that the children educated by Marquis Chengen's mansion are not all the kind of people who robbed civilian girls last time. It is estimated that the mansion already has the eldest son who has passed the imperial examination as the pillar, so the old and young son of Marquis Chengen will be the mainstay.Stocked up.

Seeing that the prince praised his son's knowledge, the old Hou Ye seemed to have a good impression, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.And Chen Kangwen over there hadn't got up yet, and hurriedly said modestly:

"I'm a low-ranking official, but I was only a second-class Jinshi in the year of Bingshen. After three years of study in the Imperial Academy, I was appointed to the post of Dianshu. It's just a small official who handles literature and ink books, and I can't be praised by the prince."

As Pei Nianyu walked in, he casually said:

"Excuse me. Although you are a second-class class, it is very good if you can pass the selection of the Imperial Academy. The rank of the book is not high, but the compilation of the book is also beneficial to the virtue of education."

Although Chen Kangwen couldn't help muttering in his heart, why would he want to stay in the Imperial Academy all the time as a leisurely little official in literature and ink, and his mouth should be tight:

"Yes, I would like to follow the teachings of the prince, and my subordinates must study diligently."

………………

Old Hou Ye led Pei Nianyu to the main hall first, obviously he wanted to talk about something first.It's just that Pei Nianyu's attention was all on the dim sum plate on the table at hand.

The style of the dim sum is still the old style, and there is nothing new about the eight-style puff pastry, but the appearance looks regular.

So as soon as he was seated, the old Hou Ye invited him to taste it, and he unceremoniously wanted to raise his hand to take it.Before he got it, he was blocked by a black sleeve.

Lou Yefeng stood behind the seat and quietly reminded:

"Master, this subordinate will test the poison first."

The old Hou Ye had seen the man in black early in the morning, and seeing him following the prince closely, he had some guesses in his heart.At this time, finally got a chance to ask:

"I don't know this...?"

Pei Nianyu looked as usual:

"My shadow guard."

Old Hou Ye looked "as expected".

Lou Yefeng tested each piece of dim sum with a special silver needle for poison, tasted another piece, and then handed the dim sum plate to the master.

Pei Nianyu only regarded the person behind him as an ordinary subordinate, and there was nothing special in his words and deeds when interacting with him.This kind of getting along is what he has been used to for ten years, and there is no discomfort in doing it.

As expected, the old Hou Ye didn't pay much attention to Lou Yefeng, and Lou Yefeng was also very happy.

Pei Nianyu took a sip of the dim sum, which was made of white puff pastry and shaped like a five-petal flower, which was not very delicate.Inside is the traditional jujube paste filling, which tastes moderately sweet and can still be eaten.

For the level of dim sum in his house, this can only be regarded as the most ordinary and low-level, but it is already very high-end compared to the level of those dark dishes outside.

So before the old Marquis started talking about business, Pei Nianyu asked first: "I wonder where the dim sum in your house, old Marquis, comes from?"

Although the old Hou Ye wondered why Pei Nianyu was so interested in the dim sum in his mansion when he came up, he actually tasted a few of them seriously, but he still replied respectfully:

"To tell you the truth, this shop is not far from my residence. It is a time-honored shop called 'Chen Kee Pastry' opposite the Drunk Immortal building..."

Pei Nianyu thought to himself that this Cheng'enhou's mansion had the surname of Chen:

"Could it be opened by your mansion?"

"That's not the case, it's just a coincidence. This Chen Kee pastry has been in business for a long time. There used to be a pastry chef in it. The dim sum he made is famous in Capital City. It's just that he has rarely appeared in the past seven or eight years, and almost no longer makes it."

"Recently, food is popular in Capital City, and there are many famous chefs in His Royal Highness's palace. The dishes are so exquisite that even the officials have heard of them. When the officials heard that the prince is coming to our residence, they are afraid that the hospitality will not be good.After spending a lot of time, I invited the master chef of Chen Ji Pastry to come out of the mountain, and it is rare to make these pastries."

Pei Nianyu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Chen Ji Pastry...why does the name sound so familiar?

Then he suddenly remembered, opposite the Drunk Immortal building, the one opposite... Isn't that the dim sum shop he met when he went shopping last time!

At that time, he felt that the location of this shop was excellent, and the shop had been dusty for a long time, and the shopkeeper was an octogenarian.Unexpectedly, the old man was very stubborn, he absolutely refused to sell the shop, and kept driving them out, so Pei Nianyu had no choice but to give up the idea.

Later, the senior executives also gave several alternative options, all of which are shops with better locations in Capital City.However, Pei Nianyu felt that no one could compare with this Chenji pastry, all because it was opposite the Drunk Immortal building——

This Drunk Immortal building once cheated He Qi by selling expensive and unpalatable dishes, so Pei Nianyu had to open the store opposite him, and must be disgusted by this luxurious restaurant.

He had previously thought that the dim sum brought by Cheng Enhou's mansion might be their own property, so he decided to take the opportunity to buy a shop.If it's that Chen Ji...then there is really no other way. It is probably semi-forced by the old Hou Ye to ask his master to make such a batch of dim sum in the name of the Houfu.

As a result... the chance to buy that shop was cut off again.Pei Nianyu failed to achieve the purpose of this trip, so he didn't want to chat with him anymore, and asked about business directly.

The old Hou Ye said that he was invited to come to the mansion to apologize for what happened last time.Quanzi's morals are not good, he offended the prince Yunyun because of a maid, and proposed that the youngest son come to apologize to the prince in person.

Pei Nianyu got annoyed whenever he thought of that dude, frowned and said:

"The apology is unnecessary. Since His Majesty has graciously allowed him to think about his mistakes in the mansion, it is good for the Marquis to let him reflect on it. He is already rich and honored if he is older than the Marquis Mansion, even if he can't do much knowledge, or enter the court for the sake ofOfficials benefit the common people, and don’t harm the neighbors.”

Seeing Wang Ye's expression, Old Hou knew that he didn't want to see his youngest son, so he quickly responded:

"Yes, I understand, and I will definitely teach him well in the future."

Pei Nianyu thought about the maid in Yun Chi who had stayed in this mansion for a while before, and thought that it was so important for you to ask your son to apologize to me, anyway, you don't care about the whereabouts of that innocent maid.

At the beginning, Na Yunchi was talking about the old building with others in the palace, and he disliked his Ye Feng as a close servant, and he didn't do trivial things carefully.It happened to be heard by him again, so he drove that Yunchi out of the mansion.

Unexpectedly, for a few liang of silver a month, Yun Chi went to support his younger brother who was studying at home, so he had to be sold to this marquis mansion again by the prostitute.But he never thought that because of his decent appearance, he would be targeted by that young boy and almost kidnapped.

After Pei Nianyu passed by to rescue her, he was afraid that she would be oppressed and beaten by her family again when she returned home, so she had to be placed in the palace first.

Later, Pei Nianyu didn't ask too much, and only learned that Aunt Xia Yao arranged for Yun Chi to do some cleaning work in the courtyard far away from Hanqiu Pavilion from the chatting of the maids, so that she would not be allowed to appear in front of the prince.

He once heard Xia Yao mention a few words, saying that this Yun Chi was lost and recovered from the errand of the Wangfu, and he cherished it very much, but it has made a lot of peace.She was originally a diligent person, but now she took the initiative to take on a lot of jobs.

So Pei Nianyu said again:

"Apologizing to the king is optional. It's not the important thing. Restraining the children is the right way. In addition, the maid...she was originally from my house for some reason, and now she is returning to our house. Please also ask the old master to take care of you."The body contract is also with this king."

The old Hou Ye paused for a moment, as if he didn't expect the palace to be so concerned about the whereabouts of a maid, and unconsciously exchanged glances with Chen Kangwen who was sitting at the bottom.
