[Comprehensive] Guess I'm a man or a woman

In the palace of the princess.

Princess Zhaohua was dressed in a gorgeous palace attire, lying sideways on the soft couch, staring at the book in her hand, feeling so emotional.

Her personal maid paid attention to her expression while beating her legs. Seeing that she was in high spirits, she couldn't help coaxing: "If the princess feels bored, why don't you ask the opera troupe from the palace to come over and sing a song? I heard that they just recently There's a new show coming up."

"What's the point?" Princess Zhaohua put aside the book in her hand and sighed deeply.

The maid naturally knew where her heart was concerned, so she probed: "I heard that the county horse is working in the study outside, why don't the servants go and let him in?"

"What are you asking him to come in for?" Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaohua, who was still lazy at first, sat up immediately when she heard the word 'Junma', and said with an angry face, "Ask him to come in and piss me off!!"

"It's the slave who talks too much." The maid immediately admitted her mistake, knelt down on the ground in fear, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Forget it, you get up." Seeing her like this, Princess Zhaohua lay down powerlessly, looking at the first spring flowers outside the window, with a sad expression on her face: "I'm going to vent my anger on you, and it's too late." What's the use?"

The maid got up from the ground, sat on the side of the couch, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not. The old saying is good, this woman's life is just a matter of three sentences." Son: Obey the father before getting married, obey the husband when married, and obey the son after the husband dies. Although the county horse is a minister, he is also the husband of the princess, and he is also a father..."

The maid did not speak, but Princess Zhaohua understood what she meant, turned over and buried her face in the pillow, crying quietly: "I really regret it! I shouldn't have softened my heart back then, I should have killed him That's right!!"

"Oh." The maid sighed, and persuaded in a low voice, "How strange is this, the princess, the child who came out of that place does not know who it is. The servant really doesn't understand why the county horse wants to recognize it. "

"That's right! I don't understand either!" Princess Zhaohua turned over and sat up, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and scolded angrily: "He kept saying that it was for big things, for big things, and what he said was just to see that little bastard making money Because of his ability, he was brought back to the mansion temporarily. Do you really want to make money and use that little bastard!! Besides, look at what he has done in the past two days. If he wants money, why should someone seal Qingfengguan Scenic spot, isn’t this a cut off? I think he just wants to recognize that son! He just still thinks about that woman!”

"Look at the name he gave Ying'er, Jinjiang Jinjiang, isn't it because that woman's name is Sister Jiang, and her hometown is in Shanxi. Back then, he coaxed me to say that it was because our ancestors made their fortunes in Jinjiang. Pooh! Now! Just thinking about it makes me sick."

Princess Zhaohua's tears fell like rain, and she covered her face and began to cry. She only felt that the 20 years of love and harmony between husband and wife were all illusions, and her status in Su Zhenxin's heart was not as good as that of a girl ! !

"I know, he thinks that Ying'er is incompetent, and he thinks I can't be born again. But don't I want to be born again? And I didn't agree to send Ying'er to Mount Emei back then. At that time, Dugu Yihe already had a big disciple. How could he concentrate on teaching Ying’er?! But Jun Ma Fei said, what we do is risky, and we have to send Ying’er out to avoid it. The child has no one to teach, and it’s useless. Can you blame me?! Jun Ma What else is there to say, Yinger has the resources and has not yet become a talent, that bastard broke through the world by himself, comparing the two sides, it is clear at a glance who is stronger. But he doesn't think about it, his master is only Ximen Chuuxue and his two apprentices , Naturally concentrate on teaching. But what about Dugu Yihe? He has more than a dozen disciples just from his own hands!! What's the use of the false name of Tugu!"

Princess Zhaohua really hated that iron could not be made into steel, she was so bitter that she couldn't tell, she just kept crying to express her grievance and dissatisfaction.

"Princess, don't cry, the mare is just talking in a moment of anger." The maid wiped the face of Princess Zhaohua with a handkerchief, "I see, that Xiao Yezhong has a very bad temper, and he is not a person who listens to teasing." , is far inferior to our young master's understanding and filial piety. Why don't you just watch their father and son go to fight, anyway, you are a aunt, so you can't suffer! And when he makes the county horse exhausted and loses old love, come Who is good and who is bad at the time, wouldn't it be immediately obvious? No matter how great your skills are, what's the use, the county horse won't raise a white-eyed wolf."

Listening to the maid's advice, Princess Zhaohua's tears gradually stopped, and she sneered: "You are right, anyway, what I say and do now, the county horse thinks that I am jealous and unreasonable. In the future, I will It doesn't matter, I want to see if his precious son can recognize him as a cheap father!"

The maid nodded repeatedly, and was about to say a few more words, but heard a message from the little maid outside the door: "Princess, the imperial edict is coming."

"Imperial decree?!" Princess Zhaohua was shocked, and while wiping her face and applying makeup, she murmured in confusion, "Why did the imperial decree come all of a sudden?"

The maid neatly arranged her appearance, guessing, "Could it be that the county horse has been promoted?"

Princess Zhaohua didn't know why, so she had to tidy up quickly and led the maids to the front.

In the front hall, Su Zhen and Su Shaoying were conversing with an eunuch.

Princess Zhaohua saw the eunuch's appearance, her heart was tense, she hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, so that Eunuch Li is ushered in, Eunuch, please take a seat."

This Eunuch Li and Wang An are both the chief stewards of the emperor. Usually, if there is an imperial decree or miscellaneous matters, Wang An will come to their mansion to announce the decree and discuss important matters by the way, but it is Eunuch Li who came today...

"No need." Eunuch Li's complexion was not very good, he smiled coldly, and said: "You wait for the order quickly."

wait? !

Princess Zhaohua felt depressed for a while, secretly thought that the surname Li was too big, anyone in the government and the public would have to call out Princess Zhaohua when they saw her, and he was waiting for him!

but……

Looking at the bright yellow imperial decree in Eunuch Li's hand, Princess Zhaohua still suppressed the bad feeling in her heart, and took the lead to kneel in front.Su Zhen and Su Shaoying were half a step behind Princess Zhaohua, kneeling beside her, one on the left and one on the right.

Only then did I hear Li Gonggong's sharp voice, saying word by word: "By God, the emperor's edict said: Su Zhen, the official of the Qing Dynasty, colluded with officials, took bribes and perverted the law, took advantage of the power, bullied the weak... From now on, he will be dismissed from his official position and escorted... Waiting for the case to be accepted at the clan's mansion. Princess Zhaohua indulged her husband and disregarded the king's favor. From now on, the title of the princess will be deprived, the princess's mansion will be taken back, and she will be demoted to a second-class clan, and her children will no longer be inherited by the clan..."

When she heard this, Princess Zhaohua couldn't kneel down anymore, she bent her body, and sat on her knees, looking at the bright yellow will in front of her in disbelief.

Deprived of the title, relegated to a second-class clan, and the children are no longer allowed to be inherited by the clan...

Princess Zhaohua sat on the ground with a dazed expression, her eyes darkened, and she was on the verge of fainting.She didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly issued such an order.Is this the legend that people sit at home and disaster comes from the sky?

Did the emperor find out that they wanted to rebel?But that's not right, the crime just now clearly didn't include treason...

Princess Zhaohua hadn't waited to figure it out, Eunuch Li had finished reading the edict, and looked coldly at the woman in brocade clothes who was limp on the ground, and said, "Mrs. Su, accept the edict."

Madam Su!

This word finally returned Princess Zhaohua's thoughts, she rushed forward, grabbed the imperial decree, and quickly browsed it.

That's right...that's right!Every word on the imperial decree is the same as it was announced!

Princess Zhaohua's face became distorted. She staggered Su Shaoying beside her and stood up crookedly. She glared fiercely at Eunuch Li and said, "I want to see the emperor! There is no proof..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Eunuch Li waving his hand, "The evidence is all in the clan mansion, Mr. Su, please."

Su Zhen's face was calm, but he could still see his inner emotions from his clenched fists, he nodded obediently to Eunuch Li, then turned and told Princess Zhaohua: "Send someone to find father-in-law. "

The two of my family can't count on it at all. Although I don't know what happened, Su Zhen can roughly guess it clearly.

It's just that he didn't understand, he had already greeted the officials on Gu Qingfeng's side, and he just wanted to beat cattle across the mountain to make Su Lanling's bank pay a fortune, why did the people on Gu Qingfeng's side still do it?Could it be that Datong Bank has something to do with Gu Qingfeng?

Princess Zhaohua nodded repeatedly, and was about to say something, but the guards in front had already dragged Su Zhen and walked out quickly.

Princess Zhaohua chased after two steps but failed to catch up, so she had to wipe away her tears and said to the helpless Su Shaoying next to her, "Ying'er, hurry up! Go find your grandfather!"

--------

Although a large sum of money was exchanged, Su Lanling did not suffer any major losses.Because after the Qingfeng viewing spot was unsealed, those people naturally understood the situation, and began to deposit their money in Datong Bank one after another.

But there are no big losses, there are still some small losses, such as the several lawsuits involved in the robbery that day, such as the large amount of loose silver that was exchanged for the bank notes, and the funds could not be recovered for a while, etc. Anyway, it made Su Lanling busy for several times Genius sweeps the tail clean.

Su Zhen's case had also been settled by the time he finished his mopping up. After hearing the verdict, Su Lanling was overwhelmed with joy, and his whole body radiated with joy.He can finally rest assured that Su Zhen will never want to disgust him again!

Although Su Zhen's life is not in any danger now, for a person like Su Zhen, letting him go from extravagance to frugality is more uncomfortable than killing him!After all, he climbed up step by step from the hard days, and he was suddenly knocked down from the sky, and he might not be able to recover for a long time.

And even if he rekindled his fighting spirit, so what?Never recruit means never hire, if he wants to rely on the Pingnan Palace to do his best, it depends on whether the Pingnan Palace is happy to use him as an abandoned son, not to mention that the Pingnan Palace doesn’t know how long it will last. Oh my god, how can I have time to control him.

In fact, it is not impossible to find a way to kill Su Zhen to avoid future troubles, but after all, he is the biological father of this body, and Su Lanling doesn't want to do too much.As long as Su Zhen doesn't come to provoke him anymore, he can also let him go.And Su Zhen is not an idiot, it is impossible to suffer a loss from him once and continue to do it a second time without hitting the south wall and not looking back.

It's just pity for Ximen Chuuxue, who has been living with him in the inn for so many days, it is inconvenient and uncomfortable.But Su Lanling couldn't leave with peace of mind if he couldn't find Jin Jiuling. He was afraid that Jin Jiuling would be killed by Lu Xiaofeng when he went back to Hebei.

Moreover, Su Lanling was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of Yinyuanhui this time!It's been four or five days and there's no news. If you keep going at this speed in the future, let alone pay attention to the plot, the day lily will be cold when he knows the news!

The employees of Yinyuanhui also expressed their grievances. Since Su Lanling gave the order, Jin Jiuling has never appeared again.They can only inquire bit by bit along the capital, which is also very hard!

In the end, Master Bitter Gourd sent them a message, asking them if the matter was resolved, and if it was resolved, they would go to his place for dinner.

Only then did Su Lanling go with a glimmer of hope, because according to the usual practice, Jin Jiuling should go back to visit Master Bitter Gourd today.

After Su Lanling and Ximen Chuixue bathed and burned incense, they went to the residence of Master Bitter Gourd.

Master Bitter Gourd does not cook easily, because to taste the vegetarian dishes cooked by Master Bitter Gourd, not only the right time and place, but also the harmony of people are needed.

And because Master Bitter Gourd is a vegetarian all year round, he can't smell any meat, so the guests who go there need to bathe and burn incense, so as not to smell the smoke and fire on their body, which will spoil his mood.

Ximen Chuuxue is particularly looking forward to it, because for someone like him who likes to be vegetarian and is quite picky, a vegetarian meal by Master Bitter Gourd is not easy for ordinary people who eat at home all the year round to be treated by friends to a restaurant next time. The kind of top chef.

The meal time is about five o'clock in the afternoon. Today's weather is very good, neither hot nor cold. Su Lanling and Ximen Chuuxue walked through the sunset all the way.The dining table was set in the bamboo forest. When Su Lanling arrived, he saw that Huamanlou had already bathed and burned incense, and was sitting alone in the forest waiting.

Su Lanling and Ximen Chuuxue went over to say hello, then sat down beside him, and happily asked, "When did you come back from Jiangnan?"

"It's been a few days since I've been back." Hua Manlou returned to her usual gentleness, and seemed to have been freed from Shi Xiuxue's death. "I just thought you should be busy, so I didn't go to you."

Speaking of this matter, Su Lanling was embarrassed and said: "This incident was all caused by me, and it almost affected the business of the bank. I have already written to Master Hua. I hope he will not be too angry." Datong Bank It was Su Lanling who was in partnership with the Hua family, so Su Lanling wrote to Master Hua as soon as the incident happened, reporting what had happened so that the partners would not complain about it.

Hua Manlou shook his head and said with a smile, "My father has high expectations for you. He won't be angry if he says that all my older brothers combined can't make as much money as you do."

The two chatted politely for a while before Su Lanling asked, "Are the three of us here today?" The most important thing is, will Jin Jiuling come?

Hua Manlou said: "No, I don't know how many others, I only know that Taoist Wudang Mu will come."

Wudang Mu Taoist?

Su Lanling blinked, feeling a little disappointed, it doesn't matter if Taoist Mu comes or not, it's a story in a long time later, and they don't know each other well, the most important thing is Jin Jiuling! !Where did this thing go!

Ximen Chuuxue noticed that Su Lanling was depressed, so he patted his head to express his comfort.

Huamanlou next to him showed that gentle smile again, and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, got up, turned back, and bowed to the distance: "Huamanlou has seen two seniors."

Su Lanling was stunned for a moment, and turned around, only to see a middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow robe and an older man in a blue shirt coming from a distance.Both of them had high martial arts skills, and they fell in front of them in the blink of an eye. Among them, the middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow Taoist robe laughed and said, "Just tell me, we will definitely be discovered."

The man in the blue shirt also smiled and said, "That's right, it's true that since ancient times heroes have come out of youth, and we old men are getting older."

Hua Manlou is very humble: "The Taoist priest is absurd, and the younger generation is ashamed."

"Huh?" The middle-aged Taoist priest was curious, "How do you know that he is also a Taoist priest?"

Then he turned his head and asked the man in the blue shirt, "Do you know?"

Su Lanling was also very curious. He originally thought that this middle-aged Taoist priest was the Mu Taoist, but now it seems wrong, it should be the man in the blue shirt.

Taoist Mu shook his head: "I don't know either, but I have one more advantage than you."

The middle-aged Taoist asked: "What advantages?"

Mu Taoist smiled slightly, his whole body was transparent, and he patted his tall man's demeanor: "I never think about things that I don't understand!"

The middle-aged Taoist also laughed, and said: "That's why I always say that if you don't drink alcohol, you will definitely live to be three hundred years old!"

Mu Taoist raised his eyebrows: "If there is no wine, why should I live to be three hundred years old?"

"Hahaha." The middle-aged Taoist kept laughing, "You claim to be the number one in Go, the second in poetry and wine, and the third in swordsmanship. Can I give you the other three without wine?"

Taoist Mu shook his head and pretended to be a nerd: "No, no, there is a saying in the poem, Li Baidou's hundred poems on wine, Chang'an went to a restaurant to sleep, the emperor could not get on the boat, and claimed to be a minister of wine. If I want To do a good job in poetry, you have to drink like Li Taibai."

As the few people said this, the house at the other end of the bamboo grove had bursts of fragrance. It was indescribable, but it was enough to arouse anyone's appetite.

The middle-aged Taoist sniffed the fragrance in the air and sighed: "Master Bitter Gourd's vegetarian banquet is really unparalleled in the world."

Taoist Mu nodded in agreement: "He often said that even a Bodhisattva would be moved by the vegetarian dishes he cooks."

"You guys can say good things, did you just compliment me on purpose when you saw me coming?" Accompanied by bursts of aroma, Master Bitter Gourd dashed over with a tray in one hand.

Seeing this, Su Lanling hurriedly dragged Ximen out of the snow to the house, and brought the rest of the vegetarian food over.

Only then did Master Bitter Gourd introduce them one by one: "The one in the yellow Taoist robe is Gusong Layman from Mount Huang, and the other one in the blue cloth shirt is the Mu Taoist of the Wudang sect." Introduce to each other.

Su Lanling and Ximen Chuuxue rushed to salute. Although Ximen Chuuxue's martial arts level is high, what is the other party's seniority?

Several people were courteous again, and then sat down in order.

Layman Gusong said to Master Bitter Gourd: "Look at Taoist Mu, this Wudang elder who has always been out of shape and slovenly, at this moment he also took off his tattered tattered Taoist robe and put on a spotless blue cloth Just because he doesn’t want to be restrained by others, he is willing not to be the head of Wudang. But now, in order to taste the vegetarian food of Master Bitter Gourd, he has no choice but to order it wrongly. Now the dishes are already on the table, what are we waiting for?”

The people who came here today are not vulgar, so Master Bitter Gourd is very happy.The dishes cooked are excellent both in color and taste, so Layman Gu Song couldn't bear it long ago.

Master Bitter Gourd laughed loudly and waved his hands. After a few seconds, a crisp bell sounded in everyone's ears, Master Bitter Gourd said: "This is the bell I've been waiting for! I've been used to doing things on the time of these students these years. I really don't want to eat at this time!"

In the boundless twilight, the clear and pleasant evening bells sounded bursts, and the evening wind blew through the bamboo forest, bringing a faint fragrance of bamboo. Then Master Bitter Gourd greeted everyone for dinner.

No one spoke, and everyone was quickly tasting the best food in the world.

The food made by Su Lanling has the addition of Jiansan's culinary skills. I thought it was very delicious, but compared with Master Bitter Gourd, it seemed worthless.

What he cooks can only be regarded as food that can fill the stomach, and what Master Bitter Gourd makes is real art and appreciation.It makes people want to stop, reluctant to let go, and their eloquence remains fragrant.

Su Lanling seemed to finally understand why Jin Jiuling asked himself to use the best in everything, because he even ate the best in the world for his daily food, so how could he be half a step behind.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone's eating speed gradually slowed down, and Su Lanling finally asked the question he had been keeping in his heart: "Master, will Jin Jiuling come today?"

"What? Is your matter still unresolved?" Master Bitter Gourd frowned, "Didn't you go to the six gates to find him?"

Su Lanling shook his head, but he still didn't tell the bitter gourd master Jin Jiuling that he didn't work in the Six Doors. He just said: "He seems to be very busy. I went to look for him a few times but I didn't see anyone."

"Sigh." Master Bitter Gourd sighed, "What's he busy with, Xiao Jiu, he's never settled all day long."

Su Lanling nodded wildly, yes!Fuck you! !
