Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Guan Qing was mercilessly robbed by Zhao Shen, and he quieted down and retreated back to the back room without saying a word. He got up in the morning, and started sweeping the yard and dusting the water unskillfully. Although he stumbled and made frequent mistakes, he never yelled again.

Zhao Shen sent someone to watch him secretly, and seeing that he seemed to have settled down, he pulled out half of the staff, leaving only one person to stare.Even if Guan Qing really has a problem, he has to give someone a chance to show it, right?

Leaving Guan Qing aside, since Zhao Shen went to Hejian Mansion, there was an extra entertainment.The people here seem to be very sociable, not to mention the gentlemen in the officialdom, they have to go out to get together from time to time, drink and listen to music, swim in the lake and meet prostitutes, even the women and buddies in the inner house, they also go out from time to time Invitations of various names were sent in, for viewing flowers today, for outings tomorrow, whether it was a child's full moon or an old man's birthday, in a month, there were more than ten days to go out to socialize.

Zhao Shen is not used to it, he is a brother, although he also belonged to the inner house, but since he married Xiang Yuan, he has never been detained by the inner house, and he has always been generous to go out to run business and open a shop. Dad is no different.It was the same in Tongping Mansion before.But when you come to Hejian Mansion, you will be invited by the women in the inner house to drink tea and chat together, sit in front of a bunch of women and listen to them chatting about clothes and jewelry and concubine servants. In the boundaries of the three prefectures, it is common for little brothers to serve as servants. There are a few in the back house of any official family, and those main rooms vent their anger from one nostril. They all grit their teeth with hatred for the little servant who usurped the husband's favor. It's a mocking tone of disdain.Whenever Zhao Shen encountered this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed.

Although he is the main wife, he is a brother.In the boundaries of the three prefectures, it is very rare to see a brother as the main wife. It's not that he can't see that those women are respectful to him on the surface, but they hide their disdain in their eyes.However, since he is the Lord Governor, he cannot back down at this moment, and he doesn't want to back down.For officials and eunuchs, communication in the inner house is also a kind of knowledge. The main rooms spy on each other through various banquets and entertainments, or pass on the music in secret, especially for some things that are inconvenient for officials to come forward. mouth, understood and sent to their respective houses.

Reluctantly, Zhao Shen found some fun.In Hejian Mansion, Xiang Yuan has the highest rank, and even his status in the inner house is also the highest. Every time there is a banquet, he does not need to deliberately make friends with the lively atmosphere. hot.Several times in succession, he found interesting rules.

These women are vaguely divided into three factions.Among them, the most active and largest faction is headed by Mrs. Chen, the wife of Mr. Gao, the chief minister mentioned earlier by Congzi; the second faction has a relatively small number of people, headed by Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Zhou's wife; finally A faction, in fact, can hardly be called a faction, because their number is too small, there are only three of them, and they are vaguely the wife of Wu Zuo's councilor, and they are led by the Qiao family.

Although the people from the first two factions did not deal with each other, they all agreed to isolate the last three together.

Zhao Shenfang thought about it carefully in his heart and found it interesting.So when he returned from the banquet again, he nestled in the study and watched Xiang Yuan write, while chatting about his discoveries.

Xiang Yuan finished writing a large character in a concentrated manner. He looked satisfied, so he put down the pen, took the handkerchief from Zhao Shen, wiped his hands, and said, "The people in the three prefectures are no better than those in Tongping Mansion. , all of them have nine turns and eighteen turns in their hearts, and they can be led into the ditch if they are not careful. The three factions you mentioned, those of Gao Daren, are fans of Jiangnan Qingwang Sect, and those of Zhou Daren are He Fans of the Jianfu family, the remaining three were all from humble backgrounds, and they couldn't integrate into the other two factions, so they had to live in such a comfortable and comfortable way."

"King Qing?"

Zhao Shen grasped the point at once.

Xiang Yuan laughed and nodded.

"If old Mrs. Shen hadn't come over that day and mentioned a few words, I still wouldn't be sure in my heart."

The sage gave Xiang Yuan an errand secretly, but he didn't say it explicitly, he just kept vague, and his tone was very euphemistic.Since Xiang Yuan received the secret letter, he has been thinking about it all the way.It wasn't that he hadn't guessed about King Qing. First, he was not familiar with the boundaries of the three prefectures that he was about to be transferred to. Second, it was mainly because King Qing was used to a good reputation, and the sage praised him many times, which made him hesitate for a while.After listening to Mrs. Shen's words, Xiang Yuan understood why he always felt something was wrong when he read the saint's letter.

Thinking about it, it is impossible for the sage to tell him clearly: I think there is something wrong with my brother, you go and check him.Didn't the words of praising King Qing during the big festivals before become a show?Isn't this a slap in the face!

And King Qing wasn't the only one who was at odds with the boundaries of the three prefectures, but Xiang Yuan guessed what the sage meant, if King Qing was pulled down, this aristocratic family who was cheating and running amok in the countryside would be let go temporarily.Otherwise, if the turmoil is too great, it may be detrimental to the security of the three prefectures.

By feeling the pulse of the sage, Xiang Yuan can do things freely.However, there is still a headache in front of me.

"Congzi, when will your lord go back?"

On the first day the prince arrived, Xiang Yuan made his identity clear to Zhao Shen.Zhao Shenwan didn't expect that one day he would meet such an important person with such a valuable status, he was at a loss for a while, he might as well let go in front of the prince than Xiang Dazhuang.

Speaking of this, Xiang Yuan also wanted to sigh.He didn't expect the crown prince to be so courageous, he dared to leave the capital with only a servant accompanying him, and even ran all the way to Hejian Mansion to find him.If he didn't know that there was no less than a company of people hiding in the dark to protect the prince's safety, he might be scared to death by this prince who didn't play cards according to common sense.

This is not the era of his young master Xiang, where the imperial power is supreme and life and death are at every turn.The prince is related to the foundation of the country, even a small accident can cause shocks in the court and the whole world.

You must know that the only son of the sage who survived and grew up safely is the crown prince.

Young Master Xiang now has a wife and son, but he doesn't want to be implicated and innocent to lose his life.

"Don't worry, he won't stay for too long. The family won't agree with him to stay forever. After another ten days and half a month, someone will come to pick him up."

Xiang Yuan was full of confidence, but he didn't expect that before he left, this brat prince would make such a big deal out of him that he almost lost his life, and almost told him to go with him to Hades Then drink tea.

Chief Minister Gao Minxing drank a little wine for lunch, and now he was drunk, thinking about the young and delicate young waiter brought in from the backyard, his heart became hot, and he couldn't help but turn towards the side courtyard.

Just alive, why not the servant serving outside raised his voice through the door: "Master, Gaodu is here, saying that he has something important to report to the master."

Master Gao had a displeased expression on his face, he was just about to throw a teacup to scold him away, but then he thought about what he had ordered Gao Dutou to do, so he had to suppress his temper, let the little waiter wait for him to dress him up, and walked forward slowly Go to the courtyard study.

"Sir, something happened!"

As he spoke, Gao Du leaned his head closer to Mr. Gao, whispering in his ear.After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look up at Mr. Gao's livid face, he just stepped back with his head bowed and his hands tied, and stood obediently waiting to be punished.

"Idiot! How could so many lives be caused?! Didn't you tell that screwdriver to see blood? Why are you so stupid that you really kill yourself, huh?"

Gao Du was frightened and was spit all over the face by Mr. Gao. Seeing him take a break for tea, he hurriedly confessed: "It's really not intentional. Who knows that their group of people usually look as strong as cows, but the result is nothing. After a few punches and kicks, he fell to the ground like paper."

Now that the matter has come to an end, it will be of no avail for Mr. Gao to hold his breath any longer. He took a few sips of tea and asked, "Is it sure, and five of them died?"

"Okay, just five."

Five is okay, there are not too many people, and it will be over after a while.

"Go to the accountant to give some money, and send ten taels to each family, and tell them not to cause trouble, it's best to accept the money obediently. Xu Jiahu, don't move, take your team to go and surround it, guard against the pickpocket The unscrupulous people turned back and ran out to do bad things. This year, the filial piety on King Qing's side, let's go from Zhangjiagang first."

Gao Dutou led the order to go down, Mr. Gao rubbed his brows, his heart was a little uneasy that someone was killed, although it was not like this happened earlier, but this year's new governor, Xiang, always made him feel uneasy, From time to time, there is a feeling of a sharp sword hanging over your head.

Gathering his mind, thinking of King Qing, Mr. Gao let out a sigh of relief.

On the other side of Xujia Lake, the place where the conflict started that day has been cleaned up, but if you look closely, you can still see dark black marks on the ground.

Wang Qing stood in the distance and stared blankly for a while, then turned and went back home.The old lady Xu hunched over and wiped the black tablet engraved with her son's name over and over again, but she couldn't even shed tears from her dry eyes.

"mother."

Wang Qing came in and stood at the back of the door.The old lady Xu looked over, and there was a bright sun behind Wang Qing, so she couldn't see his face clearly.

"Mother, I hope you will take care of yourself in the future, so I will entrust the little girl to my mother's care. Wang Qing will kowtow to my mother here."

The old lady Xu's eyes were sore, but she still couldn't shed tears.With a trembling voice, he said: "Brother Qing, the mountain is gone. If something happens to you again, how can I ask my wife to take the little girl to live? Listen to your mother, forget it, you can't earn your life left and right, and our mother will depend on each other in the future. It's good to be alive, huh?"

Wang Qing slowly shook his head, his face hidden in the back of the sun twisted for a while, and he said with hatred, "No, Dashan died so badly, I must avenge him!"

The old lady Xu stepped forward on tiptoe, grabbed Wang Qing's hand, endured her sorrow, and persuaded: "You little brother, what can you do! Listen to your mother, let's not do things where our arms can't hold our thighs." , Xiaoya is so small, how can you bear it?"

Wang Qing's tears flowed down his face. After a while, he raised his sleeve, wiped it hard, turned his head and walked outside.

"Mother, I will entrust the little girl to you. If you ask her in the future, just tell her, daddy is dead."

Mrs. Xu rushed to the door, supported the door frame, and watched Wang Qing go out without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
