Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

Gong Shangjiao knew after a moment's thought that it must be Gong Yuanzheng who had abused his power to open Zhang Xueming's dowry box, and ended up being stunned by Zhang Xueming's pile of gorgeous clothes and accessories that fully demonstrated the charm of money.

Not feeling the sense of being watched, he teased his brother at ease: "What, brother Yuanzheng, who are you going to support?"

Gong Yuanzheng's tears were frightened back at once, and he stammered, "That's right, it's not... I, I have to take Zheng Nanyi back to the Zheng Palace, right? Then in the eyes of outsiders, she is my Zheng Palace's person, I can't just ignore her food, clothing and expenses, right?"

"Brother Yuanzheng is right." Gong Shangjiao raised his eyebrows, "Then you said you can't afford it because..."

Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head like a defeated rooster: "I want to see if she will be like other women, smuggling some messy things into the palace, and then, then... I think I may not be able to support her. All the things in my storehouse combined are probably not as expensive as her two dresses..." He felt sad and wanted to cry again. If it weren't for Madam Fu's kindness to tell him that the two dresses might be enough to cover the income of the palace for two years, he would not have known that he was so poor.

Gong Shangjiao clenched his fist to cover his mouth, blocking the corners of his mouth that were trying to rise. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a few seconds before giving his brother a resolute look: "Not really. I promised Master Zheng to let Miss Zheng Er enter the palace to avoid disaster for a year. Miss Zheng Er's food and clothing expenses for this year should naturally be borne by me. Brother Yuanzheng, just concentrate on studying medicine and poison. With your brother here, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters." You play with her and compete with her for this year. After a year, maybe she will be moved by you and willing to support you?

"Brother, you are so good to me!" Gong Yuanzheng had no doubt about it and was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He secretly made up his mind to put his brother first in everything in the future, to care for his brother more, to understand his brother, and to love his brother. He would not blame his brother even if he was beaten every day.

Of course, I still have to study how to make money. I can't come to my brother a year later and cry about not being able to support my wife, right?

Well...if you really can't afford to support your child when the time comes, you'll have to cry, right?

My brother will definitely not ignore him!

The two brothers, each with their own ulterior motives, happily began to handle official business.

After the personal belongings of the brides to be selected are sent for inspection, those with problems will be kept, and those without problems will be sent back.

Except for Zhang Xueming, two of the remaining seven brides were screened out in advance.

One is Jiang Lili, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, a prominent family in Huzhou City.

The girl wore a red string with a men's silver ring around her neck. Her dowry included an old folding fan with a song of love written on it, "Red Beans and Longing for Love". The handwriting on the fan was clearly that of a man.

It seemed that the Jiang family had forced the couple here to break up the couple, but unexpectedly, this young lady was quite resourceful and quietly revealed her feelings in obvious and inconspicuous places.

It’s a pity that my charming eyes were shown to a blind man.

If Gong Shangjiao had not just ordered a body search and a dowry box search to reveal Jiang Lili's little plot, it is hard to say whether there would be another resentful couple like the Blade Wielder Gong Hongyu and his deceased wife Madam Lan at the palace gates.

As expected, if Jiang Lili doesn't want to enter the palace, then send her and her dowry back home.

The Jiang family wanted to push the girl they loved to the palace, a place where monogamy and no concubines were prevalent, especially when the palace had clearly stated that it wanted to choose a marriage for the young master. Therefore, they were the ones at fault.

Now that the plan has not been implemented and has been exposed, the Jiang family is feeling guilty. The people from the palace gate will help Jiang Lili get married with her lover. This will probably be more effective. They can also take the opportunity to buy 30% more goods from the Jiang family and further consolidate the business cooperation between the palace gate and the Jiang family.

The other is Song Mingyue, the fourth daughter of the Song family, a royal merchant family in Huaixi City.

The Song family hid Song Mingyue's asthma and sent her to the palace gate to seek medical treatment, but the palace gate was filled with heavy miasma, which was like running into the King of Hell to save her life. Unfortunately, the palace gate was arresting the assassin Wufeng, and she stayed in the water prison for a long time. If Zhang Xueming hadn't taken action, she would have stayed there for a few more days and might have really left her life in the palace gate.

Now that her asthma has recovered and she is in great shape, that hot-tempered man probably can't stand the loneliness of the palace, so he secretly sends her home on the grounds that she violated the palace's ban by bringing medicine into the palace. He can also gain the gratitude of the Song family, and the business cooperation can also bring more profits to the palace.

Gong Shangjiao was calculating a lot in his mind, but his face was cold and expressionless. He was writing quickly, writing the report that he would give to Zhiren to read tomorrow.

The remaining five brides did not have aristocratic family backgrounds. If the three who had too many prohibited items were sent back, the only two choices were girls from small families.

Gong Shangjiao didn't know whether Zhi Ren would vomit blood after seeing this result. Anyway, the fate of his stupid brother had been decided, and he didn't plan to choose from this group. He would just focus on the former young master and Gong Ziyu first.

He raised his eyes to glance at the clepsydra watch in the corner, then returned to his desk and continued writing.

Gong Yuanzheng ran back to Zheng Palace to refill the medicine for his pet Izumo Chonglian. There were a lot of things that shocked his world view today. He only remembered such an important matter when he was picking his nails after checking the items.

Gong Shangjiao was also convinced.

When he was writing the report and felt dizzy, he felt a sense of being watched, and he hurriedly called out "Master Zheng" in a muttering voice.

No one responded.

Gong Shangjiao deliberately muttered to himself: "Can't you hear me at this distance? I was also talking to you about the re-inspection of the bride's dowry just now..."

Zhang Xueming couldn't help but asked softly, "Did you damage my clothes? Didn't any stinky man touch my clothes?"

"Don't worry." A triumphant smile briefly appeared on Gong Shangjiao's cold face.

Sure enough, with his and Zhang Xueming's keen hearing, they could clearly hear each other's whispers at a distance of more than ten feet.

"It was Madam Fu from the ladies' quarters who brought the maids to check just now. Brother Yuanzheng was there to supervise and he saw with his own eyes that your clothes were in good condition before he came back."

He looked at the report with a concentrated look, but his lips moved imperceptibly. "This morning I specifically asked Commander Jin about the first search. He said that when your eight boxes were opened, none of the guards dared to touch them. He didn't dare to do it either, for fear of damaging them and not being able to pay for them. He simply looked through the box containing the brushes, inkstones, paints, recipes, and musical instruments."

"That's good." Zhang Xueming breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said in a sarcastic tone: "Tell me, Mr. Gong Er called me, is there something important that he wants me to do for him? Don't say it's nothing, Mr. Gong Er would never think of me if it was nothing. If I wasn't a little useful to Mr. Gong Er, I'm afraid he wouldn't even let me eat the simple meal in the evening. However, I'll be frank first, I'm short of money, unlike Mr. Gong Er who is selfless. If you want me to work for nothing, then I can only say sorry."

"Zheng Zhaozhao, stop being so sarcastic. When have I ever been reluctant to give you food? When have I ever asked you to work for nothing? You little ungrateful bastard." Gong Shangjiao curled his lips unconsciously, and then he was a little annoyed when he realized it. It's been a long time since he had these little expressions. It's really bad to get along with this annoying thing for too long. His mentality has become unstable: "You always bully me when you are unhappy. Only I can tolerate your bad temper. By the way, speaking of working for nothing, Zheng Zhaozhao, it seems that you asked me to check the account books for you in the Zheng family, and you didn't pay me?"

"Okay, then I'll help you look at the account books. You've looked at seventeen books, so I'll help you look at seventeen books too." Zhang Xueming raised the corners of his mouth proudly, "Bring the account books to the door now, I'll call you when I'm done." No matter what you do, you can only look at the account books now.

"Zheng Zhaozhao, look at your mind full of thoughts, you are not afraid, but I am afraid too." Gong Shangjiao laughed angrily, "Who told you to look at the account book now? I was going to tell you what we found in the dowries of the three Wufeng assassins this time - I must share any news about Wufeng with you, didn't you say that? Have you forgotten again?"
