Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

He got on the carriage, and Xu Erlang also climbed on in a hurry.

Xu Tiezhu, Liu Ermei, Xu Erye and the head of the village scolded Xu Li like a sieve.

"Xu Pang, don't even think about entering Xu Village again!"

"Xu Pang, we will go to the government to sue you for disobeying your brother and disrespecting your elders, and we will make sure you won't be a general!"

Xu Dalang rushed forward viciously and tried to hit Xu Erlang. The two guards shouted, "Do you want to go to jail?"

Seeing that Xu Dalang was afraid of the yamen runners, Xu Erlang said proudly, "You don't have good eyesight! I will be the son of a great general in the future. It will be easy for me to kill you."

Xu Dalang scolded, "Wait until you become the son of a great general. I'm telling you, your household registration is in Xujia Village, and I will never process the adoption procedures for you."

Xu Erlang then felt the situation was tricky.

However, let’s follow Fourth Uncle first.

Changming, Bomu and two yamen runners rode back to the county town.

Xu Li inquired along the way and found all the records of the sale of Er Lei from the pawnbroker in the county town, and then rode to the provincial capital.

When I arrived at the provincial capital, I found that there was an unusually tense atmosphere there.

Although common people were also hawking their wares on the streets, they did not look like real common people.

In other words, these people on the street are all pretenders and are not real stall owners.

He became alert and asked Changming and Bomu to be careful.

Sure enough, when he was about to enter the central block, several people came over and blocked him: "Please take a detour to avoid bumping into the nobles."

Xu Li did not interfere. Although he was a general of the fourth rank and the prefect was of the fifth rank, civil officials and government officials were two different things, and he could not cause trouble for His Majesty.

He turned into an alley, stopped at a steamed bun shop, bought twenty steamed buns, and asked, "Is there any high-ranking official coming?"

The man in the bun shop had obviously been warned, and said with a smile: "Who knows? Our prefect's office is in the city, so it's normal for a high-ranking official to come and discuss matters."

Xu Li came out of the steamed bun shop and saw dozens of tall horses passing through the street.

Half an hour later, a well-equipped guard team slowly came from a distance, and the sound of horse hooves "da da da" was very pleasant to hear.

Ten gorgeous carriages were in the middle of the escort team, heading steadily towards the government office. Xu Li stood at the entrance of the alley and felt that the people riding the horses looked familiar.

Those people came up to him and saw him, but they couldn't say hello.

Xu Li knelt down immediately without saying a word.

Changming and Bomu didn't know what was going on, so they knelt down.

Suddenly someone stopped in front of him and called out, "General Xu?"

Xu Li raised his head. Who else could it be but Mo Yan?

"You..." Xu Li didn't dare to shout out loud, and Mo Yan nodded.

Your Majesty is here!

Xu Li was so excited that he knelt on the ground again.

The team went away amid the sound of horse hooves.

Xu Li didn't dare to go far away and just waited at the entrance of the alley.

Sure enough, Mo Yan came over soon.

Xu Li was very excited when he saw Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu in the palace. He said, "Master, the New Year is coming soon. Why did you come in person?"

The whole family of three left the palace.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to do a pilot project here? I'm afraid you'll be alone and helpless, so I'll go with you to investigate."

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, ministers actually wanted to reunite with their families, relatives and friends, but they had to follow royal rules and insisted on attending palace banquets.

Every New Year’s Eve, officials would bring their families to attend the palace banquet. The food would get cold while they were eating, and not only would a large amount of food be wasted, but many people would also fall ill from the cold.

So Xie Zhaozhao suggested some changes, that people should take a good vacation when on vacation and do their job well when attending court.

Although the two emperors traveled together, officials such as the retired emperor (Xie Anfeng) and the left prime minister (Ling Xun) were present in the court.

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao left a bunch of things to their old father and went on a secret visit.

Xie Zhaozhao got the idea of ​​"compulsory education" during his first chat with Guan Yingying.

The second time she chatted with Guan Yingying, she heard Guan Yingying talk about the changes in her era, and she was inspired to carry out pilot reforms to see the results.

In this era, the maritime transport industry was not well developed and was mainly based on barter, so reform pilot projects were most suitable for promotion at inland borders.

Finally, Lizhou was chosen. This place borders Tubo, is separated from Nanzhao by a river, and is also an extension of the Grand Canal, which also has a section leading to the sea.

It just so happened that Xu Li's family was in Lizhou, so Xie Zhaozhao asked Xu Li to go ahead.

Naturally, she would not leave such a big matter to Xu Li alone, so she and Zhou Shaoyu went out of the palace to investigate in person.

Zhou Shaoyu always held Zhou Qiheng in his arms.

He was wearing the emperor's dragon robe, holding the delicate little Heng'er in his arms, and he was still able to talk about things calmly. The key point was that the expression of such a small child was exactly the same as Zhou Shaoyu, and it seemed that he understood.

It's just indescribably weird.

Xiao Heng'er is two years and three months old. She has lost some weight and is not as fat anymore. She wears a comfortable cotton robe and has her hair tied into a bun.

"General Xu, General Xu." Two-year-old Xiao Heng'er finally saw a familiar person and smiled immediately.

Xu Li said excitedly: "Young Master, you are here too? Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. Is this your home? Is your hometown rich?"

"It's rich here, thank you, Your Highness." Xu Li was very happy. What a considerate young master.

The little master is so handsome, just like the boy Shancai in front of the Bodhisattva.

Zhou Shaoyu reached out and stroked Xiao Heng'er's hair, and asked Xu Li: "Why did you come to the city?"

Xu Li didn't know what to say for a moment, so he told the truth: "My two elder brothers were sold out by my eldest brother. I'm here to look for my second and third brothers."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned: "All three brothers were sold?"

"My brother and sister-in-law are exactly the same as before, greedy and lazy, they don't work themselves, and they sell their brothers to help their sons get married and to give their daughters dowries."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned: How abominable...from now on, it is strictly forbidden for innocent people to buy and sell?

Xu Li thought of the dream and hesitated to speak.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Xu Li: "Just tell me the truth if you have anything to say!"

Xu Li lowered his head. He must never tell anyone about that dream.

"Xu Li, didn't you promise to tell me the truth for the rest of your life?" Xie Zhaozhao said calmly, "Go ahead and I'll forgive you!"

Xu Li stubbornly felt that he must not tell anyone about that dream, even if he was forgiven.

"Your Majesty, please do not conduct a pilot project near Xujia Village. The people in this place are untrustworthy, greedy, despicable and shameless, and the new policy cannot be implemented here," said Xu Li.

Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu were very surprised to see Xu Li so anxious to stop him.

"Xu Li, is it because you have too high expectations for your hometown?"

"No, sir, I just know that this is not possible here!"

It looks like something is wrong.

"Okay, I got it. Xu Li, if you have anything to say, tell me when you've made up your mind." Xie Zhaozhao didn't want to force him. "Take Mo Yan and the others around. This is the first time for Mo Yan and Guan Yan to come to Lizhou."

Xu Li is loyal, so she is not worried that he will do anything bad.

They came all the way from Daming Prefecture, and Xie Zhaozhao was exhausted. After talking for a while, she went to rest. Zhou Shaoyu tucked her in and gently closed the door.

He whispered to Nanxing, "Go and bring Xu Li here."

Not long after, Xu Li, who was preparing to go out for a walk with Mo Yan, was brought back by Nan Xing.

Xu Li saw that Xie Zhaozhao was not there and Zhou Shaoyu was sitting majestically in the main seat.

He immediately knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, are you calling me?"

Zhou Shaoyu didn't say anything, his eyelids drooped, and he slowly read the letter.

Xu Li was kneeling with great fear in his heart, but this man was always stubborn, and he would just kneel there stupidly unless Zhou Shaoyu asked him any questions.

There were only him and Zhou Shaoyu in the room, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Zhou Shaoyu threw down the memorial in his hand and said coldly: "Xu Li, how does Emperor An treat you?"

"My life-saver, your kindness is as great as a mountain."

"Since you know everything, why are you still hiding it? If it's not good for her, how can she make a decision if you don't tell her?"

"cocoa......"

"Do you think you can stop the reform pilot in your hometown with just a few words? This is a national event. How can you change your mind overnight without sufficient reasons? How can you expect her to convince the public?"

Xu Li was terrified, tears falling from his eyes: "But I can't tell you."

"If you don't tell me, it means you are not loyal enough to Emperor An, and you don't trust her!"

Zhou Shaoyu talked for a while, and Xu Li felt that he had become a sinner for all eternity. If he didn't speak out, Xie Zhaozhao would be ruined and infamous tomorrow!

"I'm telling you!" Xu Li cried, "I just had a dream. I deserve to die."

Xu Li recounted his dream in detail.

Zhou Shaoyu had never been so shocked. It was unbelievable, too unbelievable.

"Xu Li, where was I in your dream? Emperor An and I didn't know each other?"

"Your Majesty, you went to Jiangnan to handle a salt case the year Miss Xie got married, and were killed by bandits..."

Xu Li felt that he could definitely be executed by slow slicing. Why would he have such a dream?

Emperor Chen was killed by bandits in Jiangnan, and Emperor An married Gu Chengyan but was burned to death by him and his concubine.

Now the one who should be burned to death is Xu Li!

Xu Li looked up at Zhou Shaoyu, and sweat broke out when he saw the murderous eyes.

"I'm sorry, I deserve to die..." Xu Li was so scared that he kowtowed desperately.

Zhou Shaoyu's tone was still indifferent. He asked many more questions and asked him to leave.

He felt confused and uneasy, and it seemed as if some of the fog in his heart had been cleared.

Is this a dream, or a warning from God? Or is it not a dream, but everything that has happened?

He suddenly remembered the matter of Princess Yurong and Guan Yingying. No, he must interrogate Princess Yurong thoroughly when he returns this time.

His Zhao Zhao's ashes were actually taken by someone to ask for a reward?

Zhou Shaoyu felt a pain in his heart as if it were being stabbed by a knife.

He actually died in Jiangnan!

Also because he died in Jiangnan, Xie Zhaozhao actually married the scumbag Gu Chengyan. She was unhappy all her life and was finally burned to death by Gu Chengyan!

Even if Xu Li said it was a dream, but the year he and Xie Zhaozhao got engaged, he went to Jiangnan to inspect the salt. If it weren't for the string of beads, he would have really died at the hands of the "bandits" in Jiangnan.

He thought, thought hard, thought a lot...

It’s a pity that those who hurt her were dead, otherwise he would have tortured them with all kinds of torture.

No, isn’t there still someone in Xujia Village who scattered her ashes and is still alive?

Xie Zhaozhao took a nap, played with Xiao Heng'er for a while when he woke up, and also met with the governor of Lizhou. He didn't see Zhou Shaoyu all day.

After asking Nanxing, I found out that Zhou Shaoyu had been "sleeping" the whole time.

When Xie Zhaozhao went to his residence, Nanxing quickly opened Zhou Shaoyu's door and lit the candle. Xie Zhaozhao saw Zhou Shaoyu sitting in an armchair with dark and cold eyes.

The darkness rolling in those eyes was as thick as an indissoluble fog, as if one had fallen into the devil's way.

Xie Zhaozhao bent down to look into his eyes and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Shaoyu looked at her, suddenly stood up, pulled Xie Zhaozhao over and hugged her tightly in his arms.

My whole body was cold and I was shivering slightly.

"How long have you been freezing? Don't you want to put on more clothes?" Xie Zhaozhao patted his back gently and said with a smile, "Are you having a nightmare too?"

"Zhao Zhao, let me handle the pilot project. You can take Xiao Heng'er with you to understand the people's sentiments, okay?"

"Okay!" Wouldn't it be better not to worry?

The next day, Zhou Shaoyu called Xu Li, Changming and Bomu.

"Xu Li, leave the task of finding your second and third brothers to the prefect.

Changming, you help General Xu take good care of Xu Erlang, buy him fancy clothes, let him eat at the best restaurants, stay at the best inns, and attend gatherings of important people. If he wants to do whatever he wants, he can do whatever he wants. If anyone asks, just say that the general wants to adopt this nephew as his son.

Remember, spend at least two thousand taels of silver in one month, so that he can deeply experience the superiority of being a superior person."
