Chapter 40 Undressing Hundred Households

The first month is a good day for people to visit relatives and friends, and Guocheng's itinerary is also full of arrangements. He is preparing to visit the powerful people in the capital, find audiences for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and sell children's playgrounds.

Guocheng's young follower Zhu Youjian naturally wanted to go with him, but he was stopped by Guocheng. In his words, my brother A Jian's identity is so noble. How can he visit them? He should wait for them to visit you. As soon as Guocheng put on a high hat, Zhu Youjian was very satisfied and went back to the room with his chest and belly folded.

The first stop is the mansion of the chief minister Fang Congzhe.

Guocheng thought that Fang Congzhe was the chief minister and the leader of the civil servant of Daming. Moreover, this time he was invited to watch the ceremony. It was not suitable to wear flying fish suits, so it would be better to wear bullfighting suits. For this visit, Guocheng specially made a batch of new famous thorns. This thorn is very different from the ordinary thorns. First of all, it is big, at least twice as big as the ordinary thorns. In addition, it is thick, basically an ultra-thin small box. This thorn can be opened, and it contains a bottle of perfume and a towel. In fact, this thorn is not cheap, and it costs 6 taels per cent.

Fang Mansion is not close to the children's playground, so I have to take a carriage. But as soon as I arrived at the alley where Fang Mansion was, the carriage stopped - there was no road in, all of them were blocked by the sedan chair. The officials in the sedan chair could not sit still, so they got out of the sedan chair, lined up and chatted.

When will I have to queue up? I have a lot of things to do. Guocheng tried hard to squeeze in, but who asked him to go to the line? Guocheng shook his bullfighting uniform, meaning I am a high-ranking official and enjoying the privilege of going to the line. The officials who were chatting all looked at him with a sneer. The bullfighting uniform is indeed a rare item, but there are many first- and second-rank officials here. Who are you?

Guocheng was furious and pulled off the bullfighting uniform on his body.

There was an uproar at the scene. This kid is so angry that he can't get in the team. What's the point of taking off his clothes? Even if you have your butt naked, you can't get in.

The guards naturally knew that Guocheng's open habit of changing clothes had become more and more angry. When he stretched his hand back, he handed over the flying fish suit. Guocheng changed his clothes, and the scene was silent. Everyone was still a little scared. Unexpectedly, this young young man was still the Jinyiwei.

Guocheng shouted: "Come on!"

The guards protected him and rushed to the Fang Mansion. Along the way, they overturned several red sedan chairs and hit a few first-rank officials. Everyone cursed in their hearts that the rushing little ghost rushed to reincarnate, but they didn't dare to say anything to stop them.

When he arrived at the door of Fang's mansion, Guocheng changed back to the bullfighting uniform. Fang Congzhe was already an old man. He heard that the Jinyiwei came to the door and if he was scared, he would be in trouble.

After handing over the Mingtao, Guocheng walked into the Fang Mansion in a big way. The servants of Fang Mansion wanted to stop him, but several guards pulled him away. The servant beat him a few times but didn't stop him. Logically speaking, after handing over the Mingtao, the owner agreed to meet him, so the guest could enter the door. How could anyone handing over the Mingtao while walking in? But Guocheng relied on his child and did not take this rule seriously.

As soon as Guocheng entered Fang’s mansion, Fang Congzhe received the news.

A servant handed Guocheng's business card. Fang Congzhe couldn't help but smile: "This little devil is really stunning, and his famous sect is different."

The servant said, "Prince, this thorn is a box that can be opened."

Fang Congzhe was shocked: "Oh?"

When I opened it, I saw a glass bottle and a towel inside.

When Mrs. Fang saw it, she was overjoyed and said, "Perfume! Our granddaughter said how many times we wanted to buy perfume, but we didn't have time to buy it. This time it's great."

After saying that, she happily tucked the perfume into her arms.

The servant asked, "Master, can you see me?"

Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly and said, "All people are in, can you still disappear? But let him go. I will see him again in half an hour. Who made him not understand the rules?"

Half an hour later, Fang Congzhe entered the reception room. Guocheng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair while drinking tea while watching a book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Guocheng knew the bad habits of this group of literati. He obviously wanted to see him, but he wanted to put on airs and leave people in the living room, so he brought his own novel to pass the time.

Seeing Fang Congzhe come in, Guocheng stood up, bowed, and said, "You are rude, come and disturb me. Thank you Mr. Fang for taking the time to receive it."

Fang Congzhe saw that Guocheng was quiet and his lips were red and his teeth were white. He really liked it in his heart. He laughed and said, "Humandao Guocheng is the most reckless person in the world, I don't think so."

The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and Fang Congzhe asked, "As the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. The National Draft Book will not come to Fang Mansion to have tea today, right?"

Guocheng said: "There are two things to trouble the adults today. The boy built a children's playground under the order of the emperor. It will open on the second day of the second month. He sincerely invites the young master and the young lady from the Fang Mansion to visit for free. In addition, during the opening ceremony, please go to watch the ceremony. The opening ceremony is scheduled for Si, please come on time."

Fang Congzhe said: "It's easy to say about the children of Fang's family going to the children's park to visit. They happened to come to Beijing from their hometown to celebrate the New Year. They stayed for a few more days. It didn't matter if they left after the second day of the second month. I was a little embarrassed. I was the leader of all officials and it was not convenient to participate in the opening activities of the merchant."

Guocheng said: "It seems that Lord Fang hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, right?"

Fang Congzhe said: "Long live like a dragon who sees his head but not his tail. I have not seen the emperor for a while. Even if there is communication, it is just a pen talk."

Guocheng said: "Long live to attend the opening ceremony."

Fang Congzhe grabbed Guocheng's hand and asked, "Really?"

Although Fang Congzhe is a thin old man, his hand is really strong, and he makes Guocheng's hand hurt. Guocheng struggled to break away from his hand and said, "Do I dare to joke about this? Lord Fang, you can tell all officials that the emperor will preside over the opening ceremony of the children's playground on February 2, but the children's playground only accepts children under the age of 12, so you cannot come to watch the ceremony without a child."

Guocheng picked up the tea bowl and took another sip of tea, and suddenly asked with a blushing face: "Where is the toilet in your house? I'm a little anxious."

The servant took Guocheng to the toilet. Fang Congzhe thought, why did Guocheng get tea here? Is my tea very good? So he picked up the tea cup and sniffed it.

Fang Congzhe was furious and scolded the hospitality servant: "Bastard, what good has Guocheng given you? How can I take out the tea leaves that I hid from Master? "

The servant said, "Master, this is not the tea from our mansion, it was brought by the prince of the country. He said he was not used to drinking other tea."

Fang Congzhe was shocked. Last time, Wanli gave him a kind of tea that he had never seen before. Its beauty in form, bright colors, strong fragrance, and mellow taste were the best in the world. Long live to give it the name Biluochun. Fang Congzhe collected it and couldn't bear to drink it. Unexpectedly, this little boy would carry it with him, just like drinking ordinary fragrant slices. Fang Congzhe knew that the country was favored, but he didn't expect that the emperor would actually favor him so much.

"Why is Mr. Fang so angry?" Guocheng walked into the living room with ease.

Fang Congzhe pointed to the tea leaves and asked, "Where does this tea leaves come from in the country?"

Guocheng said: "This tea is a tea I bought from near Dongting Lake in Suzhou. The locals call it "scared and fragrant". I think the tea tastes good, so I gave it a few pounds to Master Wansui. Master Wansui said that the tea tastes good, but the name is too bad, so I forced me to give it a name. I thought about it for a long time and just called it Biluochun."

Fang Congzhe was a little bit skeptical about Guocheng's statement that Emperor Wanli would attend the opening ceremony. God knew if this little boy was bragging. But the tea incident made him understand that Guocheng's close relationship with the emperor was probably beyond people's imagination. Just like the grandfather and grandson, this matter was most likely true.

Fang Congzhe thought for a while, picked up his brush and wrote a few names, and said to Guocheng: "I will notify other officials, but I am not familiar with the Lord. There are also a few people on this list who are arrogant and arrogant. I can't invite him, so I can only ask the Prince of Guo to visit him."

Guocheng put away the list and said goodbye, and Fang Congzhe personally delivered it to the door. When the officials outside the door saw it, their eyes almost fell all over the floor. Who had ever seen the Ming Dynasty's chief minister attach so much importance to a child?
