The general will eat grass

Li Yuanxing passed the Jinshi examination and was assigned to be an official in a foreign state. Zhao Yuansong saw him off at the Shili Changting Pavilion. As soon as he returned to Dingguo's mansion, he heard that Mrs. Dingguo was looking for him.

"Uncle Wang, do you know what mother wants from me?" Zhao Yuansong saw the angry look on Wang Butler's face, thinking that Mrs. Ding Guogong was sick again, and felt a little uneasy.

The housekeeper Wang sighed, shook his head, and pointed to the courtyard of the boss of the Feng family with his eyes. Zhao Yuansong had a clue in his mind, and it seemed that the problem was with Wan Shi.After bidding farewell to Steward Wang, he hurried to the main courtyard and saw Duanyun, the eldest girl next to Mrs. Dingguo, already waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Yuansong frowned slightly: "Sister Duanyun, what happened?"

"Master Song, please go in with your servant." When he asked, Duanyun's tears fell in a thread.

Zhao Yuansong's heart skipped a beat, guessing that it must be something serious happened to Mrs. Ding Guogong.He didn't say any more, and rushed into the main room with his long legs. When he lifted the felt curtain and saw Mrs. Dingguo, who was sitting firmly in the main seat, he let go of his heart and heaved a long sigh of relief. Just stepped in.

He turned his head and saw Wan Shi kneeling in the middle of the room, and Nanny Jing Yi and several other servants standing beside him, Zhao Yuansong's heart moved, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Mrs. Dingguo was sitting on a chair with downcast eyes, wearing a luxurious long double-breasted gown with golden silk and longevity, with a section of colorful jasmine shrunken sleeves showing on her wrist.Judging by her expression, it doesn't look like she is extremely angry, but she is thinking about something.

"Song'er, you are here, come and sit down." Hearing the movement, Mrs. Dingguo returned to her senses.After he sat down, Mrs. Dingguo directly said to him without waiting to ask: "I know that since you took over the government office, the Wan family has troubled you a lot, you didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would get angry after hearing it. You hope that your family and everything will be prosperous, but there are people who always act as demons."

Zhao Yuansong lowered his eyelashes, and at the same time glanced at the side of Wan's face. Her current complexion can be said to be pale.

Taking over the big and small shops in the mansion, he didn't have time to care about the women in the back house. So some rumors flowed out, the most discredited of which was that he robbed Feng Cui'er's fiancé and forced Feng Cui'er out of Dingguo Duke's mansion.

"Wan Shi, Song'er ignores you because you are Wei'er's wife. I think you are still his sister-in-law. But what have you done, huh? You really treat my wife as sick and don't care about anything. Is it done?"

There was a bang, Mrs. Dingguo slapped the table hard, and said sharply: "You not only want to ruin the reputation of Song'er and De'er, but also the reputation of our Dingguo mansion. You secretly colluded with Nanny Jingyi , deducting his expenses, but framing Song'er for abusing his nephew."

And this?Zhao Yuansong looked up at Wan Shi in surprise, only to see that she was clutching her skirt tightly, and her face was even paler.

Mrs. Dingguo: "Mrs. Wan, do you think I don't know that you were the one who provoked Feng Cui'er and made the Dingguo's house restless? Hmph, do you think I don't know that you have taken away the middle income to lend money for interest?" How many opportunities have we given you, but you... Hehe, I thought that little girls are all delicate, cowardly, well-behaved and cute. I didn't realize that if she wants to hurt someone, her heart is a hundred times more poisonous than a man. Let me put my words here today, and you all listen to me. From now on, my Feng family has only one daughter-in-law, Zhao Yuansong! Wan Shi, gossip, misappropriation of gifts for personal gain, embezzlement of sons-in-law, disrespect to parents-in-law, discord with husband and brother , all of which violated the "Internal Training of Women's Virtue", the Feng family decided to abandon her and remove her name from the genealogy."

"Mother-in-law... No, ma'am, you can't divorce me, only your husband can, you can't!" Finally Wan finally responded, she howled loudly, and rushed over to hug Mrs. Dingguo's leg, but was cut off by Duanyun They stop.

"Of course I can. The Feng family has a small population, and the men only care about fighting, and I, the head mistress, take care of all the affairs of the back house." Mrs. Dingguo looked at her lightly, and said lightly, "Hmph, Wan Shi, aren't you Attracted by the right to be the mistress, is your heart getting bigger and bigger, and your unreasonable thoughts getting more and more serious?"

Wan's cries all the time, but in the end he is dragged away by two Kong Wu's powerful nuns and locked up, waiting for Feng Jingwei to come back and write a letter of divorce.

Mrs. Ding Guogong talked with Zhao Yuansong about returning Wan's dowry, and finally sighed: "Before I missed her, I treated Jing Yi well, so let me give her 2 taels from my private treasury."

Zhao Yuansong nodded, knowing that Mrs. Ding Guogong liked girls, but she was cheated by girls many times. She didn't show it at this time, so she must be very sad.

Mrs. Dingguo let out a long sigh again, and looked at the servants in the room, her gaze was the same as that of Dingguo on the battlefield, gradually showing the intention of killing, "You all remember, from today on, who will dare Talking nonsense in private, passing on what is wrong, and ruining the reputation of Dingguo Mansion, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between master and servant."

"Yes." All the servants lowered their hands and responded respectfully.

Butler Wang's voice sounded outside the door, "Madam, Second Young Master and the others have entered the city."

Zhao Yuansong hurriedly stood up from his chair, took two steps towards the door, and then thought of something, and turned to look at Mrs. Ding Guogong.

Mrs. Dingguo had a sad face just now, seeing him rushing to see her second son, she couldn't help laughing, "Go, go, you haven't seen each other for nearly two months."

"Thank you, mother." Zhao Yuansong was allowed to run away.

Mrs. Dingguo looked at each other with the big girls, and smiled helplessly: "This kid has a 'daughter-in-law' and forgets his mother, so it's better to be a girl!"

Hanyu approached Mrs. Dingguo and laughed, "That's right, so the four of us, Duanyun, will always be by Madam's side."

Mrs. Dingguo poked her forehead with her finger, "Hmph, you will coax me. The four of you are all grown up. If you don't marry, you should blame me in the future."

Hanyu shook her head, "No way." Then she glanced at Duanyun, leaned closer to Mrs. Dingguo's ear and said, "Actually, Duanyun and I both have sweethearts. They are both from the family, even if we If you are married, you can still stay by Madam's side."

"Huh? Who? I don't know why."

"Duanyun likes Brother An, and this servant likes Gongdo who is next to Young Master Song." Duanyun knew what they were talking about, and instantly blushed.

Mrs. Dingguo was overjoyed at first, but then a little worried, "Forget it, Brother An, this Gongdo is a slave, Hanyu you..."

"Madam~" Hanyu was moved in his heart, and his eyes turned red instantly, "You forgot, the slaves are also from three generations of slaves. Hee hee, the slaves know that you, the commander, and the young masters have never treated the slaves as slaves, and treated them privately. Like a daughter. I also know that Madam, you have taken care of the affairs of the Zhuangzi for us, and you want us to be housekeepers in the future." She laughed while crying, her eyes full of admiration for Mrs. Dingguo, "But Hanyu wants to stay in the mansion, I will always be by Madam's side. Even if I really marry a Xiyi slave in the future, I feel that the people in the house will not treat my slave and her children as slaves."

The other girls' eyes turned red when they heard this, and they all expressed their desire to stay in the mansion and be with Mrs. Dingguo.

Mrs. Dingguo looked at these girls, and said with emotion in her heart: Sometimes there must be a fate, and there is no time to force it!Thinking about it this way, her sadness finally receded a little bit.

After more than two months of tempering, the group of young soldiers in the camp in the western suburbs had won battles on the grasslands in the north, became heroes, and returned to Kyoto safely.

The army passed through Zhuque Street, from Baihu Street to the West Gate, both sides of the road were full of civilians and soldiers' families who came to greet them.

The firecrackers burst, the crowd cheered, and red silk, ribbons, and sachets flew out of the windows of the private rooms on the second floor of the inn restaurant.

When Zhao Yuansong finally saw the dusty Feng Jingde, his resolute facial features were somewhat different from his impression.Zhao Yuansong frowned, his eye circles turned red unconsciously.Feng Jingde, who was riding on a horse, felt his gaze, drove his horse forward, and directly lifted him up and placed him in front of him.

Zhao Yuansong didn't care about being in the public, and reached out to gently caress the fine marks on his cheeks, "How did you do it?"

"It's okay, don't worry!" Feng Jingde lowered his head slightly, and said in his deep voice with deep thoughts. "I'm back."

Zhao Yuansong's heart tightened suddenly, and it started beating again quickly, every beat was particularly powerful.

The people and soldiers who were fed a mouthful of dog food: "..."

But at this moment, the sound of water and fire officials beating the gong was heard from Qingluan West Street, and someone was calling for the water to go away.The crowd of spectators finally dispersed, and Feng Jingde was able to take the soldiers back to the camp in the western suburbs smoothly.When he passed by the west city gate, he put Zhao Yuansong down, leaned over and asked him, "Will you wait for me here, or go home first?"

Zhao Yuansong tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and happily replied, "Waiting for you here."

Seeing that he was so happy, Feng Jingde couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, and stretched out his hand to stroke his head, before riding his horse to keep up with the team in front.

However, it was Mahon who he waited for first.Ma Hong told him that there was a fire in the Changle Hou Mansion, and most of the entire Changle Hou Mansion was burned down. Now it is certain that Grandma Hua died in the flames.Although Grandma Hua has gone crazy, Zhao Yuansong still regards her as an elder.Now I found a little beggar by the side of the road, and asked him to bring a letter to Feng Jingde, and I and Ma Hong hurried to Changlehou's mansion.

When Zhao Yuansong rushed over, he saw Marquis Changle standing outside the gate of the Marquis Mansion with a messy robe and a haggard face supported by Steward Shi.Zhao Yuansong, on the other hand, was expressionless, standing quietly by the side, watching the Hou Mansion burn slowly.

"Why didn't you put out the fire?" Zhao Yuansong pushed through the crowd and rushed over.

Chang Lehou glanced at him, then shook his head in despair: "It can't be saved."

Steward Shi also had a mournful face.

Zhao Yuansong wanted to ask, but now was not the time. Seeing Lieutenant Yu Xiaoyu, the soldier of the Five Cities, he immediately ran to his side. "Lieutenant Yu, why didn't you put out the fire?"

Yu Xiaowei was originally impatient, but when he saw that it was Zhao Yuansong, he breathed out immediately.Cai said: "Mrs. Marquis Changle is crazy. She held up torches and lit fires everywhere, and even injured the people we put out to put out the fire. We have no choice but to stay on the periphery to prevent other people's homes from being burned."

Zhao Yuansong: "...."

After thanking Xiaowei Yu, he turned around and asked Ma Hongshu about the situation of the third master. Ma Hong said that he had not seen anyone else so far.

Grandma Hua died, and the third concubine disappeared. Zhao Yuansong was very worried, so he couldn't help walking a few steps towards the burning gate.

There was a flame figure inside the door, running around inside, "Hahaha, ahhahahaha." The woman laughed wildly, her voice had changed after the smoke and fire, and it was impossible to tell who was shouting. "Zhao Yuansong, hahaha, Zhao Yuansong, let you not learn well, make you like men, these people died for you, Zhao Yuansong, I killed these people for you! Hahahahaha."
