The Major General's Country Wife

"Everyone come out to me."

Yun Changsheng and the others ran out from the main hall, and before they reached the gate, they heard someone shouting loudly.

"Boom." Then there was another sound, and something hit the ground.

Where did this murderer come from, he dared to go to the Duke's mansion to make trouble, Yun Changsheng followed the crowd and ran to the door, really wanting to see what was going on earlier.

"Damn, what kind of place is this?" A big man rudely rolled up his sleeves, cursing angrily.

"Huh?" Yun Changsheng paused, and his heart also followed the voice of mother.

"Who dares to go to the Duke's mansion to act wild?" Several concubines from the Duke's mansion rushed to the front. They are all generals and naturally they are not afraid of such an occasion.

"Damn." The middle-aged man was very rough and savage, tall and strong like a bull, patted his well-developed and protruding chest muscles, "what are you, dare to insult me?"

"Who are you old man?" Several masters of the Duke's Mansion, who are also bloody men, stopped talking nonsense and immediately threw people out if they stood up.

But he underestimated the other party, and was stretched out with a big hand like a cattail leaf fan, and was thrown out like a chicken in lightning.

"Old five." The fifth master was caught by the elder brother behind him, blushing and thick necked, "I will break your hand today."

He was about to rush forward again, but was stopped by Xu Guogong, and the fifth master stared unconvinced, "Father, you have been bullied to the door, do you still want to bear it?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Yun Changsheng rushed over at once, standing between the fifth master and the big man, "Xu Guogong, it must be a misunderstanding."

At this time, if he didn't stand up and explain, there might be a gang fight immediately, basically beating the Duke's mansion.

"Changsheng?" When the big man saw Yun Changsheng, he immediately walked over and held him up and down to look him up and down, "I've been wronged, I'll smash this place today and see if they still dare to bully you."

"No." Yun Changsheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, I'm fine, no one bullied me, did you misunderstand?"

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Zhong's appearance is honest and honest, but in fact he has a hot temper, just like the murderous light in his eyes now, which makes people shudder.

"How dare a little concierge insult us and chase us away like a dog." He turned his head and pointed at the trembling people at the gate.

"I said to look for the Longevity Boy, but they said that there is no cat or dog we are looking for here, let us go out immediately or we will be sent to prison."

The more Wang Zhong said, the angrier he became, and he wished to tear the concierges to pieces, "How dare they say that?

You must have bullied you a lot. "

"Enough." Chen Liang took a step forward to prevent Wang Zhong from losing his temper, "Your servant is rude, and there is the master, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Hmph." Wang Zhong turned his head away from him, knowing that he was pretending to be a good guy again.

This Chen Liang seemed to be smiling and talkative all day long, but in fact he was the most sinister and cunning, belonging to the kind of dog that bites and doesn't bark.

"Changsheng, you are okay." Chen Liang looked at Yun Changsheng with a smile, and said with love in his eyes: "I'm thin, and I'll bring you delicious food."

"I'll get it." As he said this, Wang Zhong ran out of the door quickly, and Chen Liang waved to Yun Changsheng, and followed him out.

Yun Changsheng looked back at Xu Guogong in embarrassment, and said apologetically, "These are some uncles from the countryside, they came to see me specially."

"For the smashed door, let Steward Wang calculate the amount of money, or make a new one, I will definitely pay."

"Hmph." Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "Can you afford it? The gate of the Duke's Mansion is not made of broken wood from your country, it's not shameful enough."

"Father." She turned to Xu Guogong again, "What kind of people are these people? Not only smashed the gate, but also yelled and cursed and hurt others. We can't stop losing face."

"What's the matter with the concierge?" Xu Guogong asked about it instead of answering her words, "How can there be no such person as Changsheng, who insults the master with disrespectful words?"

"Well, how does this daughter-in-law know." Xu's eyes dodged, which was her special order.

It's just that I heard that someone came to Yun Changsheng's door, and he didn't want some poor and lowly people to come to the door again, and let the concierge drive them all away.

Yun Changsheng curled his lips, "Second wife's housekeeper, I don't know about such things. Is it because the servants refuse to let you take care of me, or you are too tired and didn't bother to ask."

He had an aggrieved face, and his bright eyes were quickly clouded with mist, "It's fine to insult me ​​at ordinary times, but now even the elders in the family are being insulted, we must seek justice today."

"It's okay." Xu Changfeng hurried forward and touched Yun Changsheng's head, "I will personally interrogate a few concierges, and I will definitely not let this happen again."

He said, gesturing to a distance, and immediately arranged for his entourage to do things, "In a while, I will apologize to a few uncles, and I will never make it difficult for you."

"Ah?" Yun Changsheng was dumbfounded, is this person stupid?If there is something wrong with him, I will use you to take responsibility.

Before he could speak again, Wang Zhong and the others had already entered, each of the four of them was carrying a big box, and put it on the ground with a few "bangs".

"Longevity." Wang Zhong no longer had the ferocious look just now, and greeted with a smile

He went over, "Look what I brought you."

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a gust of cool air came out, which was especially eye-catching in this midsummer, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and you were in the coolness.

"Lychee, mango." Yun Changsheng looked at the fruits in the box in surprise.

Then he looked at the other boxes, all of which contained fruits, all of which were not seen in Kyoto, "cherries, bananas, and watermelons."

Yun Changsheng chanted everything, and heard the gasps of everyone in the Duke's Mansion. No one dared to imagine that Yun Changsheng was a country boy, and someone would give him these rare fruits.

It's not that the people in the Duke's Mansion have never seen some of these fruits, but they seldom eat them, and they are all occasional rewards from the palace or gifts from some powerful families who come and go.

It can be said that not everyone in the Duke's Mansion can eat it, a large number of people can take a look at it, and smelling a little fragrance is already considered a person of status.

Yun Changsheng was also pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect them to get it to the Duke's Mansion specially, and he thought they could only eat it if they shipped it in large quantities.

"Uncle Wang." Yun Changsheng looked at Wang Zhong and the others happily, "Thank you uncles, you have worked hard all the way."

"Hahaha." Wang Zhong laughed and said, "We came here ahead of time and we have been thinking about what to bring you. After a long discussion, we decided to bring these. After all, there is nothing worth eating here, so we should bring you something ourselves."

At this time, Chen Liang, who dealt with the outside world, took a step forward and said to Yun Changsheng: "Which one is Mr. Zhen Guogong, let's pay a visit, we must not lose courtesy."

"Oh." Yun Changsheng came to his senses, turned to Xu Guogong to introduce to both parties, Chen Liang and the others performed the junior ceremony, and took care of each old man.

The attitude was very obvious, they came to visit with Yun Changsheng as an elder, not for the name of the Duke's Mansion.

They are all old fritters, how could they not understand the truth, Xu Guogong is not a person who puts on airs, so he naturally knows how to entertain them.

"They are all members of the Changsheng family. You are welcome here, please come in."

Xu Guogong saw that they were not simple, but judging from Yun Changsheng's seniority, he knew that they would not make trouble, so there was no need to speculate too much.

Wang Zhong and the others wanted to carry the box again, Xu Changfeng stepped forward to salute them and said, "Several uncles go in first to drink tea and rest, and I will arrange for someone to take the box to the Changsheng courtyard."

At this time, Yun Changsheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, his face turned pink with heat, "This is the eldest grandson of Duke Zhen's mansion, Major General Xu Changfeng."

"Oh." Wang Zhong's eyes widened without blinking.

Look up and down.

The same was true of the others, Xu Changfeng straightened his back, and had a gentle attitude with a slight smile, allowing them to scrutinize and comment secretly.

Seeing Xu Changfeng's humble appearance, Yun Changsheng was full of confidence, and looked at Wang Zhong and the others proudly, "Go in and sit down, we are all waiting for you."

"Hahaha." Wang Zhong took a rough step forward, patted Xu Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you have some heroism."

"It's more than that." Chen Liang said with a smile: "Handsome, unrestrained and extraordinary, humble, polite and gentle, he is worthy of our longevity."

"Since you've read it, don't talk so much nonsense." He Xi waved a folding fan in his hand, with a suave and suave look, no longer the roughness of carrying the box just now.

As soon as he spoke, the others suddenly fell silent, and even Xu Shan, who had been silent all this time, stopped looking at Xu Changfeng and turned his eyes away.

Obviously, this person is the leader of several people, and he only came out to speak now, it seems that he deliberately caused their people to make trouble.

He Xi bowed his hands to Xu Guogong, "Old man, we are all rough people, and there is no manners in the countryside. Today, we are reckless when we come to the door. Please forgive me, old man."

"Huh?" Xu Guogong raised his eyebrows. There was something wrong with what he said, but He Xi apologized respectfully and politely.

He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he took a closer look at this person. He was in his 30s, with a vigorous figure and a heroic look between his brows. Although he was polite, he should not be underestimated.

"It's the Duke's mansion that's rude." Xu Guogong said bluntly, "Today's matter will definitely give you justice."

"The old man is polite, let the past go." He Xi smiled lightly: "My family, I don't mind."

After a few words of politeness, everyone entered the main hall of the Duke's Mansion. As soon as they were seated, before the servants served tea, He Xi ordered Wang Zhong to take out a box.

"This is a gift for the old man." He Xi opened the box in front of everyone, and saw a ginseng plant inside.

The main hall was quiet, no one spoke, they all looked at the ginseng, Xu Guogong also gasped.

This ginseng plant has already taken human form. Judging by its growth age, it must be at least a thousand years old. The color and quality are excellent. The Duke's Mansion has never seen such a ginseng in several generations.

He Xi glanced around from the corner of his eyes, let everyone take a closer look calmly, then closed the box and pushed it to Xu Guogong, "Let the old man take care of himself."

"This." Xu Guogong was greedy and embarrassed, with a hesitant expression on his face, and said: "It's too precious."

"It's not precious, and it can't be given to the old man." He Xi sincerely said

Said: "The gift depends on the heart, not whether it is valuable or not."

"Hahaha." Xu Guogong laughed, this man spoke to his taste, straightforward.

Yun Changsheng looked at the people in the main hall. He didn't know what these people were thinking, and they followed them back one after another. He rolled his eyes and smiled secretly.

The few people who came today have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility to help me manage my marriage and negotiate with the Duke's government.

"Uncle He." Yun Changsheng called out softly, "Just now we were discussing about the appointment, and a few uncles happened to come over, let's take advantage of today to settle the matter."

"Oh." He Xi was thoughtful, "I don't know about the customs in this part of the capital, so let's also listen to it, so as not to make mistakes in the future."

He said this to Xu Guogong, with a look of asking for advice, "I also ask the old man to give some advice. The Duke's family has a prominent family background, and we can't make jokes from our small family."

"Many jokes have been made." Mrs. Xu looked at Yun Changsheng mockingly, don't think that getting some rare things can make people look high.

"Our Duke's Mansion has become a joke now." Mrs. Xu smiled disdainfully, "It's all because of this marriage, and the rest of us are so embarrassed that we can't go out."

"En." He Xi nodded seriously, "It's just a good time not to go out. Wouldn't it be a great blessing for Madam to be in the mansion to care for her husband and teach her children?"

"Women in the countryside not only take care of their husbands and children, but also take on the responsibility of supporting their families. Madam is really lucky. She can enjoy the dignity and privileges. You must cherish them."

"You compare me to a country bitch?" Xu took a step forward angrily, "I'm really a rough and rough person from a remote place, who doesn't know the rules, and doesn't even know his identity .”

This man looked gentle and gentle, but he was not as powerful as that brash man. He could throw people out casually, so she was not afraid to express the anger just now.

"Xu Chongxin." Xu Guogong couldn't yell at his daughter-in-law in front of everyone, and turned his anger on his second son, "Is this how you are the head of the house?"

Xu Chongxin bowed his head, he was very dissatisfied with some of his father's recent actions, especially for making a grand marriage, even selling off the last remaining stock in the mansion.

It's too much for a daughter-in-law, but she is also doing it for the good of the house, and also for the good of his own house, so he simply bowed his head and remained silent.

"You don't need to get angry, old man." He Xi was not affected by Xu's words at all, but was very interested, "Let this lady continue to talk, we also want to know about Changsheng's situation after he came to the capital."

"What's the situation? It's just to embarrass our government." Mrs. Xu said bluntly.

有爵

She still has taboos, she dare not offend Xu Guogong, now seeing that he is all about favoritism and has no intention of paying attention to the second wife, so she naturally speaks freely to make herself happy.

"Who have you lost?" Yun Changsheng couldn't listen anymore, "The Duke's Mansion is not yours, even if you lose face, you can't lose it on your head. Don't put a high hat on yourself and think you are superior to others."

"I want to control the Duke's Mansion in my own hands, and I want to fight for power and profit. I even want to grab the dowry gift in your hands. The ambition is not small."

Xu Changfeng is the only person Yun Changsheng wants to make a good impression on. He is not here now, so he will no longer show mercy.

Apart from being nice to Xu Guogong, he was not at all polite to other people, and adopted how others treated him, and he completely rebounded.

"She wants to steal your dowry?" Chen Liang looked at Yun Changsheng, Yun Changsheng nodded and said, "We must put the dowry with her and let her keep it."

"Dare to ask, this lady." Chen Liang got up, looked at Xu Shi and said, "Which one is your husband?"

"Hmph." Xu raised her head, proudly pointing at Xu Chongxin who wanted to report his official position to pressure them, "This is the Ministry of Punishment."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a figure flash, Xu Chongxin had already been held by Chen Liang, and she screamed in fright, "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Chen Liang said with a smile on his face, "Let's discuss with him and discuss how he married a crazy woman and dared to show off in front of us."

As he spoke, he punched Xu Chongxin, Xu Chongxin let out a scream, and Chen Liang asked as he punched, "Is this how you allow your daughter-in-law to bully our longevity?"

"Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be bullied." His punches were as fast as lightning, and before everyone could react, Xu Chongxin had already been beaten and cried for his father and mother.

"Ahhh." Xu yelled frantically, but he didn't dare to step forward for fear of being beaten, "Master, you will allow them to be so presumptuous?"

"Hmph." Xu Guogong snorted coldly, "You don't even pay attention to me, so learn a lesson to let you know that not everyone can be messed with."

"Father, father." Xu Chongxin, a literati, couldn't bear the pain of Chen Liang's punches, "Quickly let him stop, my son can't bear it."

"Grandfather, grandfather." Xu Chongxin's children knelt on the ground, begging Xu Guogong to save their father, "I beg you to save my father."

They had never seen this before, and they wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were afraid of Chen Liang's cruelty, and they were ashamed of what their mother said and did, so they could only ask their grandfather to save them.

"The Duke is partial." Mrs. Xu was still yelling, "You just want to see that our second wife is not going well.

Eye, don't want to give us anything. "

"Mother, stop talking." Her son was so angry that he didn't care about filial piety, "Father is like this now, do you want to continue to cause trouble?"

Yun Changsheng covered his face and looked out from between his fingers, as if he was very scared, but not saying a word showed that he would not stop him.

He Xi looked at Xu Guogong, and then saw that Chen Liang had already beaten the man into a pig's head, and pretended to scold him: "Chen Liang, you are not finished, are you?"

"Is it polite to do something in front of the old man?" He stood up and apologized to Xu Guogong: "Old man, he is a rough person, you are not ordinary."

Chen Liang punched a few times to vent his anger, and he didn't want to do anything to Xu Chongxin, not to mention that he has no strength to restrain a chicken, even a master can't really fight at this moment.

He let go of his hand with a smile, looked at Xu Chongxin's bruised and swollen face, and said with a "hehe" smile: "Why be so polite, who doesn't know that Duke Zhen is a hero in this world, and his son is also a hero. Let's discuss how can you Not fighting back."

As soon as he said this, Xu Chongxin almost vomited blood, while Xu Guogong's other generals and bastard sons felt much more at ease.

Yun Changsheng saw that the troubles were about the same today, the purpose had been achieved, and it was not suitable to continue talking about the dowry, so he gave He Xi a sneaky wink.

"Old man." He Xi got up after receiving the signal, "It's my fault to visit the door today. I will take my leave first and come back another day to make amends."

They left the Duke's mansion gracefully, not feeling aggrieved at all, but the Duke's mansion was in full swing, talking about today's events.

…………

Hearing the news that Si Zhu came back from inquiring, Yun Changsheng was very depressed, he was not angry but just feeling depressed.

After all, for such a high-standard betrothal gift, half of it belongs to the Passing God of Wealth, but now he bears all the responsibility.

So he wanted to vent his dissatisfaction, he went around outside, but he couldn't find anyone venting his anger, so he could only go back to his yard bored.

"Where did you go?" Xu Changfeng stood at the gate of Mingzhu Garden, holding a food box in his hand, "It's time to eat."

"Very good." Yun Changsheng was overjoyed, his face remained calm, and he obediently followed him in to eat, but he seemed unable to swallow.

Holding the chopsticks, he looked at the dishes that Xu Changfeng was holding in the bowl. His mouth was drooling and he secretly swallowed them, but he didn't put a mouthful of the dishes into his mouth.

"What, it's not to your liking?" Xu Changfeng saw that he was not eating a mouthful of food, and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll let someone arrange the kitchen to deliver it?"

"Can't eat

Down. "Yun Changsheng shook his head, his face twitching more and more, pretending that he wanted to laugh, "Today I really lost face, and your family must hate me even more. "

"I'm sorry." Xu Changfeng felt uncomfortable, which was why he didn't want Yun Changsheng to fulfill his marriage contract, "I will try my best to protect you, don't worry."

Yun Changsheng kept silent, let him talk to himself, and his heart was full of joy. It seemed that Xu Changfeng didn't mind the trouble he had with the second wife and Wang Zhong and the others today.

"I will personally apologize to the uncles." Xu Changfeng continued.

This is also the reason why he took the time to have dinner with Yun Changsheng today, "The concierge has confessed, and it was the second lady who arranged for them to evict him."

"Second Uncle was beaten." Xu Changfeng paused for a moment, as if he couldn't speak, but finally said, "You should be taught a lesson."

"You don't mind." Yun Changsheng raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and he carefully observed Xu Changfeng's expression with an inquiring look.

"What do you mind?" Xu Changfeng faced Yun Changsheng in private, with a gentle and soft attitude, "The chaos in the house doesn't happen every day or two, and anyone will get bored."

Yun Changsheng could hear his helplessness, and could understand his feelings, just like Xu Guogong, no matter how tough and selfless he was, there were still some things he could do nothing about.

"It's very uncomfortable in the mansion." Yun Changsheng lowered his head silently, and muttered: "It would be great if I lived by myself, and I don't have to look at other people's faces to be free."

He didn't pretend anymore, he was so hungry that he didn't want to eat, so he had to eat first before talking, after all, Xu Changfeng probably couldn't do anything about it.

"There are too many things now." Hearing Xu Changfeng's heavy tone suddenly, Yun Changsheng looked at him in confusion.

"There is no stability inside and outside the house." Xu Changfeng said to Yun Changsheng: "However, it will be dealt with soon."

"Those rumors will gradually dissipate after we get married, and the mansion will spare time to deal with them, so we don't have to worry about spreading them outside the mansion and causing trouble."

Yun Changsheng heard that his words were not to appease, as if he really had some plans, and most of the troubles in the Duke's Mansion were caused by him.

Yun Changsheng didn't complain too much, it's just that he was used to being free, and now he was extremely annoyed by these things, but it didn't mean he didn't understand them.

In fact, what he was really depressed about was that he wanted to leave the Duke's Mansion, leave the capital, and return to his original place.

He knew it was impossible, because of Xu Changfeng's status as the eldest grandson, not to mention that the emperor did not allow anyone from Duke Zhen's mansion to leave the capital, even the Duke's mansion would not allow him to abduct people.

"Where is your house?" Xu Chang

Feng asked.

"Nancheng." Yun Changsheng no longer concealed the things on display, "Grandpa left me three houses and five shops, all of which are in Nancheng."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "There are a few Zhuangzi outside the city, all prepared by Grandpa for me."

As for other things involving others, he didn't tell Xu Changfeng that Yun Changsheng wanted to keep some cards in the capital.

No matter how sincerely Xu Changfeng protects him in the current situation of the Duke's Mansion, when Yun Changsheng feels that he is powerless, he should make more preparations.

He didn't expect Xu Changfeng to hear these words, but his heart was moved, thinking of Yun Changsheng's proposal to marry when he first came, maybe this innocent child really had such thoughts.

Xu Changfeng felt more and more guilty. If he had not been the heir apparent and had fulfilled his wish, he would not be trapped in the Duke's mansion now, and his life would not be happy at all.

"I have been dismissed from my position. There is nothing in the mansion that needs me for the time being. After I am hired, I will concentrate on staying with you."

There was finally a hint of distress in his eyes, "Wherever you want to go, what you want to do, you can do it, I will accompany you."

"Really?" Yun Changsheng didn't expect him to say that, and he was a little moved, "Uncle and the others came this time to do business in the capital, and take care of me by the way."

He explained his plan, "Grandpa used to have an old house here, where he used to live. I will keep it for my own use, and the rest will be used by my uncle and the others."

"Okay." Xu Changfeng felt that there was nothing wrong, and he was not qualified to say anything, "Uncle and the others want to do business, do they need my help?"

Yun Changsheng was even more happy when he heard this, and said happily, "They don't need help with their business, they just want to develop in the capital."

Xu Changfeng is getting more and more sympathetic, he doesn't mind letting Xu Changfeng touch his people, just like a child who wants to show himself.

His eyes were pure and his smile was sweet, and his brows and eyes were even more lively at this moment. Xu Changfeng suddenly understood what kind of life Yun Changsheng needed.

…………

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yun Changsheng took Xu Changfeng to see the house where he was going to receive his next hire.

A family of three enters the mansion, with high walls and blue tiles, exquisitely carved, newly decorated inside and outside, and servants coming in and out with a look of joy.

Yun Changsheng pointed to those servants and said, "They are all our locals. Uncle arranged for them to come here, and they will stay here to guard the house from now on."

"Yeah." Xu Changfeng nodded, he had already heard their dialect, not from the capital, "The accent seems to be from the Southwest?"
