Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 209 Showdown

I went back to my own home.

Compared with the palace, I prefer to call my mansion my home now.

Zheng Bo was sitting in the hall of the Ministry of Rites. There was no "lord" in the house, but it still looked orderly——Liu Houde led two officials and more than ten principals to welcome me into the gate, and Song Foyou and Feng Shiliang led the people in the house and waiters Children, eunuchs, and those who pass on punishment and rewards are waiting inside.

The three of them stood still like a class. Liu Houde first recited the family rules and briefly explained the preparations for picking up the driver. Then Song Foyou and Feng Shiliang each explained their duties. List one by one and explain the reasons, secondly, explain the general rules and regulations of their respective responsibilities, thirdly, explain to me the manpower recommended by them and their resumes, and finally, Liu Houde gave me the rent and taxation. I gave a brief account of things such as land, farmland, estate, salary, etc.—I asked him to make a "budget" for the annual house expenses on a whim, and wait until the end of the year to make a final settlement. I thought this was a new thing, but who knew he But he said that this matter was done every year in the middle ages, and he recommended a few good calculations to me as accountants. This time when I went home, I already had the budget for the first year of the middle school. It was listed in a thick book, detailing each article money.In addition, all property and personnel in the house have also been registered, and a total of three copies have been copied, one for Zongzheng Temple, one for myself to read, and one for their accountant for backup.

I flipped through the one I gave me, and all I could see were "Liu Da", "Xue Er", "Pei Shi" and "Liu Shi". Marriage, native place, specialties, residence, and duties are all clearly written, and enough space is left, which is published once a year, enough for at least ten years.

The Luozhong mansion looks small, and there are 300 people up and down. In addition, there are goods and contacts with neighbors and relatives, door-to-door travel, posting, and certificates from the state and county. Finished.But after reading it, I realized that there was no food in the day, so the busy man brought fruit drinks to the three of them: "I forgot for a while, but I told you three to wait here for a day. It's getting late, so let's eat together." stop."

Liu Houde had already agreed with a smile, Song and Feng saw him like this, so it was hard to refuse, so I ordered the kitchen to clean up a table, and called the family to dance and dance for fun.Of the two Silla maidservants, one is good at pipa, the other is good at waist dancing, and the two dwarf slaves are good at humor, and they are also called to perform.

Song and Feng were still a little reluctant to take a seat, so I said, "You have always worked hard, and a meal is always worthy of reward." Let them take a seat.

When the pipa started to flourish, it was announced at the door: "The son-in-law is back." Seeing Zheng Bo all the way to the door, he smiled from a distance and said, "I heard that Erniang invited people to a banquet. I don't know who it is?" Seeing Song Feng and Feng were stunned for a moment, and when they saw Liu Houde inwardly, their faces darkened a little.

I know why he is like this. When I reported the matter today, I ordered people to remove the curtain, and it has not been hung up to this day. At our table, male and female eunuchs sat separately, and we also called out dances and dances.However, I didn't intend to explain to him, so I smiled and said: "My son-in-law is back. Please take a seat." A waiter hastily added a seat beside me. Although Zheng Bo was displeased, he still sat down as told.

At the master-servant meeting, the atmosphere was not easy at all, and Zheng Bo's face was sombre, which made the meeting even more embarrassing.

Thanks to Liu Houde's occasional gags, jokes in the officialdom, and Feng Shiliang who greeted him a few words, it was time to sit down. When Liu Houde was about to go home, the banquet broke up. I went into the inner room to change clothes and wash, and when I came out, I was still thinking about my mother. Let me read the memorial, so I sat cross-legged on the couch in my clothes and lost my mind.

Zheng Bo also finished washing, he didn't go to the yard I chose for him, but came all the way to me, when he was stopped by the servant, he snorted coldly and called out loudly: "Er Niang."

I was called back to my senses by him, and I turned around in astonishment, and saw that he had already rushed past several servants, rushed to me all the way, and glared at me: "What does Er Niang mean? If it's a husband and wife, what's the point of always doing this? If you are not a husband and wife, why do you want to ask for an official position for me?"

I subconsciously tightened my clothes, and this action seemed to irritate him a bit. He took a step forward, bent down and put his hands on the couch, staring at me: "If the princess doesn't want to be married to me, then you can Easy, tomorrow I will write a letter, please make peace with the princess. If the princess still wants to be this husband and wife, then I will take care of my Zheng family."

To be honest, I was very panicked, he was a man after all, he was so close to me, and the servants were afraid to come in right away at the door, but I could only pretend to be unafraid and looked at him with a smile. He comforted him in a soft voice: "Zheng Lang, don't worry, I wanted to discuss this matter with you a long time ago, but I was always called into the palace by A Niang, and it was delayed when I came and went - you sit first."

He snorted, but sat down opposite me as he said. The waiters took this opportunity to wink at me and asked, I shook my head and asked them to serve Zheng Bo a bowl of tea, and then closed the door and retreated. When Zheng Bo was with me, I regretted that I didn't tell one or two of my confidants to watch out for the movement at the door. However, the matter has come to this point, so I can only smile and say to Zheng Bo: "Today's matter is because I didn't think carefully. Jun, Mrs. Song and Ah Feng discussed housework, and they were tired of standing with me for a whole day without knowing it. They owed me something, so I held a banquet as a reward, not specifically asking men and women to sit together. Moreover, banquets in the palace have always been rare. Those curtains, so I didn't pay attention."

Zheng Bo looked pale, and said calmly: "The palace is the palace, and the outside is the outside. Please Erniang promise me, don't do such a thing again."

I didn't answer him, just held the teacup, moved it slightly, and said: "Then Zhu Miao'er, I have sent a letter to Luoyang County to exile her family in Jingzhou."

Zheng Bo frowned and said: "Er Niang is because I have an outside room, so I specially ask men and women to sit at the same table, in order to take revenge?"

I didn't expect him to say that.I thought that Zhu Miaoer had known him for a few months, and that he could live in her house for ten consecutive days, so he should have some feelings, but who knew that he knew the news of the family being exiled, but he just asked this question, and thought about it for a while , then said again: "You don't blame me?"

Zheng Bo said indifferently: "Then Zhu's private raising of her daughter as a prostitute is a violation of the law. It is not an exaggeration to exile them to Chaozhou and Liuzhou. Erniang only sent them to Jingzhou. It is already merciful. I have nothing to complain about." of?"

I don't know why, but I feel a little bit sad for that person, I pushed back what I was going to say, but asked him: "We have been together for several months, and the son-in-law doesn't care at all?"

He looked at me inexplicably, opened his mouth several times and hesitated, finally sighed, and stretched out his hand to hold my hand: "If Er Niang really has the heart, don't talk about the past, we husband and wife... let's live a good life from now on."

I hurriedly withdrew my hand, because I was frightened, I even forgot the draft I had just typed in my stomach, and said the words in one go: "You misunderstood. I want to tell you this conversation, the imperial guard a few days ago The doctor diagnosed and treated me, saying that my heart disease was not cured and I could not have children. I think... If you agree, I will formally accept a few concubines for you. From then on, you live in the west and I live in the east. We will not interfere with each other ..."

His face gradually darkened, and he said after a long while: "In the boudoir, there is a way to have a child, and there is a way not to have a child..."

I said, "I don't want to." Naturally, I could talk to him about science and tell him that in this age, there is no perfect method of contraception in the world, but in the end I can only choose the most direct way, lest he still To continue, he hurriedly said: "I promise you that in the future, I will serve the elders in the family and take care of the children, just like the etiquette of a family. I will also help you with your official position. Now that you are young and just entered the official career, you can only After a few senior years in the post, if you do well, it is not a big deal to transfer to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households. I don’t want to work in the Ministry. I go to Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, or Zongzheng Temple to be an official. Qing Shaoqing, there are no accidents. You Zheng family has a thousand-year-old family, and the leaves are prominent, but recently you are clean and not expensive. You only have a name. As long as you don’t interfere with my behavior, you will be a superficial couple with me, and you will be affectionate on the outside. , don’t do things that insult my identity, I can promote the children in your family and add sacrificial fields for you, and I will not follow other princesses and do things that insult your family style—of course, if you really don’t want to, you can Please reconcile with the above table, I will not force you. But if you reconcile, you and your elder brother's family will be rejected by A Niang and the Holy One, so you have to think about it."

He looked at me deeply: "Er Niang, tell me, is there someone else in your heart?"

I hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

He suddenly raised his head, and when he looked at me again, his face turned pale and the corners of his eyes were red, but he answered very simply: "Okay."

The author has something to say: the exile in the Tang Dynasty was divided into regions, such as Jingzhou and other Shangzhou, which was a better exile (the famous minister Zhang Jiuling was put here by Xuanzong), such as Liuzhou (Liu Zongyuan), Yazhou (a certain Places like Li’s surname), Chaozhou (looks like Liu Yuxi?), Bazhou (Liu Yuxi) are unlucky ones in the backcountry, and many of them never returned.In many cases, the governors and scholars in some remote states in the Tang Dynasty were unwilling not to do it, let alone the long history and the like.
