What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

The little fat man held on to the threshold and refused to leave, "Aunt Jiang, just let me spend a new year at your house. I will pay for food and silver, and it will be fine. I don't want to go back. It's so cold, why don't you go back? It's home, and the house is also a cold pot and a cold stove... I can't be separated from my brother Yue, and I still have to ask Brother Dabao for the article..."

Jiang Lianzhu was unmoved, and persuaded him with kind words, "How can there be any reason to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house during the New Year's Eve? Your parents will come to ask me if I am right. Go back and come back next year. There are plenty of opportunities. Really. There’s no reason to spend New Year’s Eve at another home for no reason.”

The little fat man rolled his eyes, "What other house? Where is the other house!! This is my brother's house! Brothers can't do it, right? Well, I'll be your Jiang family's door-to-door son-in-law. Xiaonanbao is going to get married in the future Right? Think about me, I am willing to marry her, and I don’t dislike her for eating too much. Isn’t this a legitimate family? Even if my parents come, they can’t say that half of them are wrong..."

The more I talked, the more reasonable I felt, and the more I talked, the more feasible I felt.

As a result, Nanbao greeted him with a slap, and the slap made the little fat man stare at him.

Indignant, "Who do you say eats too much! Who dislikes me?! You say!!"

The little fat man provoked the little devil, and he couldn't care less about being dizzy from the beating, so he hurriedly smiled, "No, I was wrong, I ate too much, I hope you don't dislike me...Sister Nanbao..."

Nanbao didn't listen, and gave him another kick, kicking him on the ass.

Kicked the little fat man out of the gate of Jiang's house.

"I hate it, get out of here."

Now, the little fat man's heart was ashamed, and he had nothing to ask for. The great god Nanbao didn't speak for him, so it was useless.

Er Bao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, you're like Lai Pi Tang, be careful that my mother won't allow you to come next year, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood."

The little fat man curled his lips, that's all he could do, what else could he do.

After packing up his things, he followed his book boy back to his hometown dejectedly.

***

Daan Kingdom, Kyoto, Imperial Palace.

It's a little late today.

The fierce struggle and the battle full of gunpowder have just ended. The emperor was furious with a series of things such as the collusion between officials and businessmen in Daliangzhou, putting the people in the middle of fire and water, making the country rich, disregarding human life, etc., and rectified several Many factions were also implicated in the big officials, and all the court officials were trembling with fear, for fear of being implicated accidentally.

After the morning court, no one dared to stay longer, and only dared to breathe a long sigh of relief outside the palace.

Rubbing the sweat on his forehead, loosening his collar robe or something.

Everyone was in twos and threes, but Liao Jiu walked alone.

The pace was unhurried, like a stroll in the garden, as if the big riot in the early court and the storm that shocked the government and the public were not caused by him.

Most of the courtiers were a little afraid of him and did not dare to walk with him.

There were only whispers not far away.

"Governor Liao, you really acted swiftly and resolutely. He dug out all the officials in Daliangzhou. He is the only one who has the confidence and ability."

"No, it's not that you don't know his bad temper, he dares to do anything, he dares to arrest anyone, his family has made meritorious deeds for generations in the Qingning Houfu, and is one of the emperor's most trusted families. He also made a lot of enemies, if he acts so recklessly, sooner or later it will lead to catastrophe."

"However, those people in Daliangzhou this time are really too much. No matter how angry the emperor is, if he dies, he will lose the hearts of the people! I am on the side of Governor Liao. This time, the six doors have made a great contribution. .”

"Hey, that's what I said, but the water here is deep. I can't finish reading this case."

……

Liao Jiu had just left the gate of the palace when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Governor Liao stay here."

Liao Jiu turned around, "What's the matter with Mr. De?"

Eunuch De is the steward next to the emperor in the palace.

At this time, his face was full of smiles, his hands were folded in the armholes, and a gold-rimmed whisk rested on the crook of his arms.

He smiled and said, "Governor Liao, the emperor gave you a reward, saying that the weather is cold, and I rewarded you with a green lotus hand warmer inlaid with gold and jade, and some excellent wound healing plasters."

As he spoke, the little eunuch beside him lifted up the tray and presented it respectfully in front of Liao Jiu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I also thank my father-in-law for making a special trip."

Eunuch De laughed again, "Your Excellency the Governor is a celebrity in front of the Emperor, and this old slave is not worthy of a thank you from the Governor-General."

He looked up at the gloomy sky above the palace, and said meaningfully, "My lord, it's windy and cold, so be careful, your lord, you should be careful with your body. If you run around after being injured, if you suffer from some kind of illness, you can take care of yourself." Not so good."

Liao Jiu's expression remained the same, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your concern."

"The old slave is worried, hehe, send off my lord, be careful on the way, my lord."

At this time, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace. Liao Jiu's carriage had been parked there for a long time. After saying goodbye to Eunuch De, he got into the carriage and left.

Eunuch De was still at the gate of the palace, watching the six-door carriage until it disappeared from sight, then he turned back to the palace.

……

On the carriage, Xiang You already knew everything that happened in the palace early.

My heart is very relieved and happy.

He saw Liao Jiu closing his eyes and resting his mind, and he was beside him, inspecting the things that Eunuch De sent out.

"This hand warmer is pretty good. It's exquisite. There are blue lotus flowers on it, which are lifelike. Unfortunately, master, you don't use it very much. The color and size are about the same for women. It must have been picked out by those eunuchs from the palace treasury. , I deliberately thought of a disgusting thing, there is no incense in it, it is empty, so it would not be poisoned in such a grandiose way... It can be given to the old lady for use."

Liao Jiu opened his eyes, glanced at the exquisite Qinglian on the hand warmer, said calmly, "Keep it."

Fu closed his eyes again.

To the right, he checked the wound medicine again, sniffed and sniffed, "I can't see anything for the time being, but I dare not use anything given by the eunuch, master, let alone you, speaking of wound medicine, It’s still the village woman Jiang from Shili Town, oh, she should be called Dr. Jiang now, right? The wound medicine made by Dr. Jiang is very effective, master, you have been with her for so long, have you returned some?”

"No." Liao Jiu looked pale, but the corners of his mouth could not help but bend into a soft arc.

Finally, Xiang You put away all the ointments and took them down for testing.

I left the hand warmer to the master.

After walking for a while, the carriage arrived at Qingninghou Mansion.

There were several carriages parked at the entrance of Hou's mansion, one of which was extravagant, with tassels on the four corners, and engravings of auspicious clouds entering the phoenix on the body and bones of the sedan chair. ?
