Chapter 219 Sequelae
It was right to ask He Zhang about the location of the marquis' mansion, otherwise he would have been at a loss if he had chosen it himself.
After carefully comparing the newly confiscated mansions, He Zhang chose the Zuo Xiang Mansion.
The Marquis's Mansion is of the first rank, and among the mansions confiscated this time, there are only four or five that barely meet the standards.
Taking into account factors such as size, scenery, and age, Zhang Zhongyi's residence is the most suitable.
Speaking of luxury, the Second Prince's Mansion is of course more luxurious, but the decoration of the Prince's Mansion mostly uses coiled dragons, so if it is to be changed into a Marquis' Mansion, major changes will be necessary.
Xiao Ye is eager to move to the new house as soon as possible so that he can be included in the family tree. If the renovation takes a year or two, he will probably be upset every day.
It is still more convenient to go to the Zuo Xiang Mansion. We only need to change the horse stone and stone lion on the gate and some plaques.
The decorative items for civil officials are usually cranes, flowers, bamboo forests and cypresses.
Although Zhang Zhongyi and Xiao Yuan seem to be incompatible and at loggerheads with each other, their tastes are actually quite similar.
He Zhang had the honor of attending a banquet at the Zuo Xiang's residence. He felt that most of the scenery and decorations there were in line with Xiao Yuan's aesthetics.
The overall framework of the house basically does not need to be moved or rebuilt, just make some changes to the parts that don't comply with the regulations, replace the furniture, and then prepare to move in.
After listening to He Zhang's analysis, Ye Xiao nodded repeatedly with shining eyes. Less work and shorter working hours were in line with his adoptive father's preferences, which was exactly what he wanted.
This person was so excited that he couldn't help but pinch He Zhang's face.
"You are still smart. I will treat you to a drink when I move."
Ye Xiao wanted to run away after he finished speaking, but He Zhang quickly grabbed him.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I gave you so many good ideas and you just gave me a meal.
Grandpa, don't appreciate the little things."
He Zhang glanced at Ye Xiao's lips as he spoke, and his thoughts were obvious to everyone.
Ye Xiao's face turned red again. He hesitated for a moment, then took out the jade pendant that Jin Zekang had given him from his arms and put it into He Zhang's hand.
This is a meeting gift from the Regent King. I don’t want to give it to you anymore.”
After saying this, he ran away without waiting for He Zhang to react, which seemed like he was fleeing in a panic.
He Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the jade pendant being forced into his hand. His eyes were gentle as he watched Ye Xiao's back running away.
Xiaoye would never wear anything given to him by others, but he still put it in his sleeve and took it back to his room.
Just leave it there. He won't wear it and won't let Xiaoye wear it either. He turns around and gives Xiaoye his family heirloom jade pendant.
It's better to work hard. Even if Jin Ge Jin Ze Kang didn't say it, he wanted to find a chance to transfer out of the East Factory.
He couldn't say whether he liked or disliked the job at the East Factory; to him, it was all the same no matter what he did.
He just wanted to pursue Xiao Ye because he thought that whoever was closer would get the most.
Now that he could hold the moon in his arms, he naturally had to exert his greater value.
Dongchang is the governor's base camp and has many trusted aides.
Besides, Xiaoye is here to guard the place, so it would be a waste for him to stay there.
It would be better for him to stay in the court and six ministries to develop some power, also in order to observe their regent from a close distance.
A person who endures for many years and pretends to be disabled and weak and finally becomes the big winner is definitely not an ordinary person.
It is good to have such a person as a friend, but if he becomes an enemy, he will be a great threat.
There are many cases of fathers and sons turning against each other, and brothers Xiao Qiang, and relatives of several generations will also go their separate ways for power.
In He Zhang's opinion, the relationship between the regent and their governor is too weak, so it is better to be more cautious.
He showed great enthusiasm for He Zhang's help and was very ruthless in assigning tasks to him.
There was a huge pile of memorials and case files blocking the way, and He Zhang's face froze for a moment, but he could only accept his fate and do his job.
It is still uncertain what will happen in the future, but at least recently this person has no intention of competing for power with the Governor.
I guess the Governor and his wife have no intention of getting rid of the Regent.
There is too much work to do. If I kill some of the other side's people, I will be exhausted to death.
The imperial power was a major event, which had a profound impact on all civil and military officials, royal relatives, nobles, and wealthy businessmen.
Not to mention those who participated in the conspiracy, even those who were somewhat related to them were trembling with fear.
Of course, some are happy while others are sad, and some have one foot in hell while others have one foot in heaven.
There are also some who have little contact with heaven or hell but are destined to have a dark future.
For example, the prince of the Ningguo Mansion, Zhao Chengye, has been living a miserable life these days.
These past two months have been like a roller coaster for him.
It was a mixture of joy and sorrow, and it was all extreme joy and sorrow. If he wasn't young, he would have probably had a stroke.
At first, the teacher asked him to train a pervert who was dressed as a woman to imitate Jiang Xinyu so that he could assassinate Xiao Yuan.
This kid was full of energy and spirit, and even took the opportunity to reconcile with Jiang Wanqiu and they flirted with each other for a while.
In his opinion, the teacher told him this secret because he trusted him.
Once Xiao Yuan's teacher makes further progress, his confidant will naturally have a bright future.
Secondly, it's a good way to vent your anger.
That cheap woman took advantage of her status as a dead eunuch to humiliate him extremely.
This time he wanted to see how Xiao Yuan would still be able to show off his power if Jiang Xinyu died.
When the third prince ascends the throne and his teacher takes the throne, he will be able to enter the court and be valued.
The Li family is nothing. If that idiot Li Mingyue refused to resign, she would have died of illness.
After these days of lows, he has finally seen through it.
The noble lady might not be what he wants, so the gentle and quiet Wanqiu sister is more suitable for him.
Xiao Yuan had no family, so after his death Jiang Xinyu had to return home as a widow.
Not only can the huge dowry be returned to the Jiang Mansion, but most of Xiao Yuan's treasures can also be taken back.
By then, Sister Wanqiu's dowry will be rich enough, and it will be perfect for him to marry her as his successor.
It’s a pity that this beautiful dream came to an abrupt end after more than half a month.
His teacher was assassinated and was in critical condition, which meant that his ladder to success was about to break.
When Zhao Chengye got the news, he almost died before his teacher.
He hurried to the Left Prime Minister's residence to visit the patient.
It’s a pity that they couldn’t even get in the door. Zuo Xiang was injured too badly and refused to let anyone visit him.
This made him feel even colder. After returning home, he burned incense and prayed to Buddha every day, occupying his mother's small Buddhist temple.
I'm afraid he will have no future if Zhang Zhongyi dies.
Without his teacher's support, he wouldn't be able to get a good position in the court with his current connections.
His foundation was unstable, and if he fell out with the Li family, he would be in trouble. For this reason, he could not divorce Li Mingyue.
But if he didn't divorce Li Mingyue, how could he marry Jiang Wanqiu?
It was impossible for Jiang Wanqiu to be his concubine, especially after she received a large dowry.
Is he going to watch helplessly as he once again misses out on a large dowry and stays with Li Mingyue, a stingy, crazy woman?
Ever since Zhang Zhongyi pretended to be seriously injured, Zhao Chengye has been more anxious than his own son.
This depression did not ease much even after I heard that Xiao Yuan was imprisoned.
Without a teacher's guidance, there would be no good future.
If you don't have a good future, you can't get rid of the Li family.
If you can't get rid of the Li family, you can't touch Li Mingyue.
If you can't touch Li Mingyue, you can't marry Jiang Wanqiu.
Even if Xiao Yuan died now, Jiang Xinyu would get all of Xiao Yuan's property and take it back to the Jiang family.
If he hadn't married Jiang Wanqiu, he wouldn't have gotten involved at all.
For Zhao Chengye at that time, whether Zhang Zhongyi was alive or dead was much more important than whether Xiao Yuan was dead or alive.
Of course, when he later heard that Xiao Yuan was rescued, he was so angry that he smashed the teacup.
Two days later, he heard that Xiao Yuan's body had been found and he was so happy that he drank all day.
Zhang Zhongyi thought he was useless and excluded him from his confidants a long time ago, but his emotions of joy and sorrow were even more intense than those of the person involved.
Honestly speaking, Zhao Chengye was almost going insane during those days. Even Li Mingyue avoided him and thought he was abnormal.
