My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost
Chapter 16: Take care of yourself without me
After a month of traveling, the carriage of the Wan Mansion finally arrived at the Imperial City. There were people buying and selling, and there were also acrobatics in the Imperial City. It was very lively. The young ladies on the streets were all gentle and beautiful. When they arrived at the new mansion, the housekeeper of the mansion also came over and said, "Greetings to Prime Minister Wan, Prime Minister's wife, and Prime Minister's daughter."
Just as Wan Yanzhong was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Wan Sutong looked back and saw the black horse galloping at full speed. Although it was only a moment, Wan Sutong recognized that the man on the horse was Zhao Jinghua! It turned out that his mansion was near Wan Mansion.
Wan Yanzhong helped the housekeeper up and said, "Please stand up quickly. I will trouble you in the future."
The old housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it!" Then he led Wan Yanzhong's family into the mansion and said, "Cui'er, take the young lady and the lady to their residence."
Su Qinghui nodded without saying anything, took Wan Sutong's hand, and followed the maid named Cui'er to the backyard. "Madam, Miss, I wonder if you and Miss like the flowers planted in this yard. If you don't like them, I will have them removed immediately."
Su Qinghui chuckled and showed the aura of a mistress of the house. "No need. Although I don't like this flower, I can still accept it. Are you the top maid in this house?"
Cui Er nodded slightly and said, "Yes, madam." Then she looked at Luo Lin who was holding the quilt and asked, "Who is this sister?"
Luo Lin smiled cheerfully, "My name is Luo Lin, I am the young lady's maid." Then she looked directly at Cui Er and said, "The young lady is not used to being served by a stranger. From now on, it will be enough for me to serve you."
Cui Er smiled slightly, "Yes, Cui Er understands." Then she looked at the courtyard in front of her, "The front courtyard is where the lady lives, and the back courtyard is where the young lady lives. I am always in the courtyard. If you have anything, just call me."
Su Qinghui nodded and said, "Luo Lin, take Su Tong to rest."
At the same time, Zhao Jinghua returned to the mansion, settled Lin Feng, and took a carriage to the palace.
Zhao Jinghua was wearing a black cloak at this time, which made him look very noble. Zhao Jinghua lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Zhao Mingsheng sat on the couch, the bed curtains hiding his expression, but his tone was extremely gentle, "Jinghua is back, you have made a great contribution this time, and today is also your father's birthday, let's hold a welcoming banquet together."
Zhao Jinghua bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Mingsheng chuckled and said, "Are you and the Crown Prince the only ones leading the army to Nanling City this time?"
Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."
Zhao Mingsheng chuckled and said, "Very good, your leadership ability makes me feel ashamed of myself." Zhao Jinghua could hear the threat in Zhao Mingsheng's words.
Zhao Jinghua kowtowed quickly, his silver hair falling down around his neck as he moved. "If you hadn't taught me the city defense formation, I would never have been able to defeat the Northern Li Army."
Zhao Mingsheng seemed very satisfied with Zhao Jinghua's answer. "Get up." When Zhao Jinghua stood up, Zhao Mingsheng walked out from the bed curtain, then patted Zhao Jinghua on the shoulder and said, "You are tired too. Your father's birthday banquet will start soon. Go down and rest first."
Zhao Jinghua bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he stood up and left. When Zhao Jinghua left Taiming Palace, he saw Zhao Jinfang waiting outside the door. "You'll live in the East Palace today." Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Thank you, father."
"Are you injured?" Zhao Jinghua shook his head slightly "No"
Zhao Jinfang nodded and took Zhao Jinghua back to the East Palace. At this time, the Crown Princess was standing in the courtyard with a three-year-old boy in her arms. When she saw Zhao Jinghua, she chuckled and said, "Jinghua, you're back."
Zhao Jinghua slowly bowed and said, "My son greets my mother."
“I’m glad you’re back.” The Crown Princess came over holding the boy. The boy had tears in his eyes as if he had just cried. He opened his arms and threw himself towards Zhao Jinghua, “Brother!”
Zhao Jinghua stood up and held the boy in his arms, saying softly, "Why are you crying, Jinghong?"
Zhao Jinghong rubbed his face against Zhao Jinghua's chest and said, "I miss my brother."
Zhao Jinghua patted Zhao Jinghong on the back and said, "Brother misses you too." Zhao Jinghua turned his head and coughed a few times.
Zhao Jinfang frowned and was about to speak, but Zhao Jinghong spoke first, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Jinghua smiled and said, "Nothing. I came back in a hurry today and didn't bring you any cakes. I will definitely bring you some next time, okay?"
Zhao Jinghong's cheeks puffed up instantly. "Humph, I'm not going to get along with my brother anymore."
Zhao Jinfang and the Crown Princess laughed at the joke, but Zhao Jinghua chuckled and a bag of cakes appeared before him. "Since you are no longer on good terms with brother, can you eat the cakes yourself?"
Zhao Jinghong's eyes lit up instantly and he hugged the cake, "Thank you, brother."
Zhao Jinghua touched his hair and then put him on the ground.
Zhao Jinfang patted Zhao Jinghua on the shoulder and said, "The banquet will start soon. I have something to say to you." Zhao Jinghua nodded and looked at the Crown Princess. "I'll take my leave." Then she followed Zhao Jinfang to the study.
The Crown Princess nodded without saying anything. Seeing this, Zhao Jinghong was about to follow, but was picked up by the Crown Princess. "Be obedient, your father and brother have something to do. Your mother will take you back to the house to eat cakes, okay?"
Zhao Jinghong nodded repeatedly, "Great!" Zhao Jinghua turned around and looked, and after a moment he walked into the study and created a barrier to cover the study.
Zhao Jinfang turned around and patted his shoulder. "You are the only one in the whole palace who understands your father. If there is anything unusual tonight, please let me know at any time."
Zhao Jinghua bowed and said, "The child understands"
Zhao Jinfang looked at the landscape painting on the table and asked, "Can you tell my father's fortune?"
Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "I wonder what my father wants to know?"
Zhao Jinfang's eyes were very determined, as if he had planned it for a long time. "Tonight"
Zhao Jinghua slightly raised his right hand and closed his eyes to start calculating. After an incense stick of time, Zhao Jinghua slowly opened his eyes and transformed into a golden long sword with a scabbard. He handed it to Zhao Jinfang with both hands.
Zhao Jinfang took the long sword with a smile on his face, and then put the sword into his spiritual sea. He patted Zhao Jinghua on the shoulder and said, "Father understands." Zhao Jinghua smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Zhong Su quickly climbed over the wall and entered the mansion, but he happened to land in front of Shangguan Lianxue. Seeing this, Zhong Su knelt down and said, "Madam...
At this time, Wanfu
Su Qinghui covered her chest and felt a little flustered. She stood up from the wooden chair and slowly walked out of the courtyard. Cui'er hurried over and asked, "Madam, do you have any instructions?"
Su Qinghui frowned slightly, "Where's the master?"
"The master should have just got on the carriage." Su Qinghui walked out of the mansion quickly after hearing this. She saw Wan Yanzhong was about to get on the carriage, so she quickly called him, "Yanzhong!"
Wan Yanzhong quickly turned around with a smile in his eyes and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Su Qinghui stepped forward and held his hand. "Be careful and drink less."
Wan Yanzhong patted Su Qinghui's hand and said "Don't worry" and got on the carriage.
At this time, outside the Zhong Mansion, the gray-haired eunuch knocked on the door.
After a while, the old housekeeper of the mansion opened the door. The eunuch chuckled and said, "Is Lieutenant General Zhong in the mansion?" Behind him, a guard was carrying two jars of wine on a tray.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper nodded and said, "To reply to Eunuch Wang, the young master and the young mistress have already rested."
Eunuch Wang nodded and said, "Please invite Vice General Zhong out. His Majesty has a message for you."
The old housekeeper nodded quickly and said, "Please wait a moment." Eunuch Wang smiled and said nothing.
Half a cup of tea later, Zhong Su walked out quickly, yawning as he spoke, "Eunuch Wang, do you know what the emperor's order is?"
Eunuch Wang smiled obscurely and said, "Today is the prince's birthday. His Majesty specially asked me to deliver a jar of wine to the general of Mingbei Camp." After speaking, Eunuch Wang took the jar of wine on the left side from the tray and handed it to Zhong Su.
Zhong Su took it with both hands and knelt down to salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Eunuch Wang nodded and said, "I will not disturb Deputy General Zhong's rest. I will take my leave."
Zhong Su stood up and looked at the wine in his hand with cold sweat on his back. He signaled the housekeeper to close the door. At this time, Shangguan Lianxue came over and burst into tears, "You should have come back with me!"
Zhong Su looked at his wife with guilt. The old housekeeper beside him said quickly, "We caught a mouse in the backyard yesterday. Let's give it a try."
At this time, Zhao Jinfang and Zhao Jinghua had already arrived at the Taiming Palace. The ministers hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Jinfang bowed and saluted, "Nephew pays respect to the emperor's uncle." Zhao Jinghua knelt on one knee and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Mingsheng raised his hand slightly and said, "Everyone, get up. Jin Fang, today is your birthday. Show your demeanor as a crown prince. You don't have to be submissive and considerate of me."
Zhao Jinfang nodded and said "Thank you, uncle," then sat on Zhao Mingsheng's upper seat with his head lowered, while Prince Lin and Princess Lin sat below Zhao Mingsheng with their hands lowered.
Zhao Jinghua also slowly stood up and walked to the first empty seat under the right steps. Zhao Mingsheng said at this time, "Jinghua is wrong," and then pointed to the first seat in the second row. Zhao Jinfang's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, but it was only a flash and he quickly returned to normal.
Zhao Jinghua nodded without saying anything and turned to sit in the position Zhao Mingsheng pointed out. The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then began to discuss in a low voice, "Hasn't the commander-in-chief of the three armies always been in this position?"
"Could it be that the eldest son made a mistake?"
At the same time, in the study of Zhong's house, the three of them looked at the rat that was staggering with a bulging belly due to drinking, and they were relieved. But a moment later, they saw the rat fall to the ground. Zhong Su exclaimed, "It's poisonous!" Zhong Su knelt on the ground with his head in his arms, his tone full of regret, "I should have listened to the eldest master." Then he held Shangguan Lianxue's hand and said, "In the future, without me, take care of yourself."
Shangguan Lianxue's expression was extremely serious. She used her finger to feel the mouse's breath, and then kicked Zhong Su away. "Zhong Su, are you stupid? You can get drunk even if you drink, let alone a mouse!"
At this time, Wan Yanzhong walked into the Taichu Hall late, "Your Majesty, I, Wan Yanzhong, pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Mingsheng nodded and said, "Prime Minister, please stand up quickly." Then he pointed to the place where Zhao Jinghua should sit and said, "Sit."
Wan Yanzhong stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Wan Yanzhong turned around, he also saw Zhao Jinghua. He nodded slightly and said, "Young Master." Zhao Jinghua looked at Wan Yanzhong and smiled without saying a word.
At this time, Wan Sutong clenched her sleeves as she looked at the screen. "Daddy seems to have offended Zhao Jinghua."
At this time, Su Qinghui's voice came from outside the door, "Tongtong, are you asleep?"
Wan Sutong quickly got down and opened the door, inviting Su Qinghui in. "Mom, why are you here?"
Su Qinghui sighed and said, "I am worried about Wan Yanzhong, and I thought you could see it here."
Wan Sutong nodded and asked the system to open the screen. "Daddy seems to have offended the eldest son just now." The system also cooperated and adjusted the screen back to the previous
Su Qinghui was stunned for a moment and then shook her head. "Maybe not." Wan Sutong nodded half-believingly.
At this time, Zhao Mingsheng in the hall raised his glass and said, "Today is your birthday, nephew. I wish you a happy birthday every year."
Zhao Jinfang raised his glass and said "Thank you, uncle" and drank it all.
At this time, Zhao Jinghua stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said, "I wish my father a long life as long as the heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and the moon." As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers hurriedly followed Zhao Jinghua and said, "I wish your highness the crown prince a long life as long as the heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and the moon."
Zhao Jinfang smiled and said "Okay, okay," and then drank the wine in the glass. At the same time, Zhao Jinghua also drank the wine.
