A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 186 Qingping Years 3 in 1
Li Cheng once again stepped into the door of the Xu family, it really seemed like a lifetime away.
In the past, I often came here with Jin Laosi.At that time, the mistress was still the eldest sister of the Jin family. Because of the disagreement between Jin Laosi and Xu Shisi, this eldest sister wanted to turn the fight into friendship and bring the two together.On one side is the younger brother, on the other side is the younger brother-in-law, and it is difficult for her to be caught in the middle.The fourth brother Jin came here for his eldest sister.Xu Shisi is also very good at saving face. In front of his sister-in-law, he resolutely did not mention the unhappiness when he was a child.But ah, this grandson is hurting.
When I came here, apart from having to contact Xu Shisi, the one who had the most contact was Xu Shizhong.I wish I could wear a pair of trousers with Jin Laosi, because I also call Xu Shizhong brother-in-law.
At that time, people did not even dare to say it.This is for the sake of the clan, and they dare not exceed the rules.
Now, to call someone a brother-in-law's words, I'm afraid it's a high climb.
I was very emotional in my heart, but on the surface, I still had such a foolish look, as if the whole world, the emperor's boss and his second child, no one peed.
Following the butler who came out to greet him, he stepped in and saw the grandson Xu Shisi in his pocket.
Xu Shisi was in his thirties, about the same age as him and Jin Laosi.It's also quite human looking like a dog!He didn't know where he was going at this moment, and he was in a hurry to leave, and he took his entourage and hurried out step by step.
The two stopped when they saw each other.
"Second Master?" Xu Shisi frowned, why is he here?
"Don't dare! You are the second master." Li Cheng saluted one step ahead of him, "Greetings to the second master."
Xu Shisi's brows twitched, his elder brother just scolded him just now, and he didn't take what he scolded too much, probably because he should not be arrogant, and should be a man with his tail between his legs.He wanted to ask the men of the clan to salute him, a man with no official position, no rank, and no rank, before he left the house.
He was so angry that he almost snorted, leaving Jin Laosi, and this one came to add trouble.
But he still had to hurry up and return the gift in a bigger way, "Zhe Sha is here! Zhe Sha is here. Second Master, you are polite." Such an 'important' guest came to the door, he couldn't just walk away like this.Of course, if Li Cheng had a bit of insight and said, "Go ahead, you don't need to accompany me", that would be a different matter, it would not be considered rude.But the grandson acted as if he didn't know what he had to do, and he led him the way by himself, so he really took it calmly.That's all, I walked very slowly along the way, seeing Lao Teng still standing down and walking around, looking at it carefully.When I saw the reliefs in the corridor, I also stood and looked at them, and nodded from time to time, as if appreciating them.You taste a big head ghost!You used to run around this mansion once a day, but at least twice in three days.You and the fourth brother Jin almost know how many tiles there are on the roof of my house, and now they are here to install new guests, for what purpose, not to make things difficult for themselves.It's not that I can't see these two things, it's that this grandson is too damn grandson.
The entourage is jumping anxiously behind, not moving here, what can I do?
If the elder brother was not in the mansion, he would have dared to say 'Go to your uncle', but the elder brother is here now, I don't know what happened today, he seems to be in a bad mood.He had to hold on tight.
Therefore, I was so anxious that I had to accompany him like this.Then the old man finally stopped admiring the old rattan brick wall, moved his footsteps, and asked about other things.
"This pavilion is not bad, who did you ask to draw the picture? The Feng Shui position is well chosen."
Damn!Didn't you take the initiative to pay for the original pavilion after you and Jin Laosi used knives and guns to cut scratches on the pillars?Who drew the picture, which Feng Shui master was invited, is there anyone who knows better than you?
He avoided the housekeeper a bit, and gritted his teeth in a low voice, "It's so bad?"
Yo!
Li Cheng squinted at him: "Do you still know how to write the word measure?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Shisi said angrily.
"Almost beat Jin Lao Si to death, it's poisonous enough!" Li Cheng snorted softly, squinting at him, "So, be careful when you go out, when you lose your sense of propriety, maybe others can't control the fire... "
Xu Shi was at a loss for words, and said angrily, "Stop slandering others, I didn't say I killed him."
As soon as I said this, I understood it instantly.At that time, as long as he showed his intentions, the people below would hug him and make trouble.There was a bit of sarcasm on his face: "That's what he deserves!"
The mouth is quite hard!
Li Cheng smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead! I hope you can be so stubborn for the rest of your life."
What is this nonsense?
good words!
The butler continued to lead him as if he hadn't heard him.Li Cheng didn't speak until he entered the study.
He is so familiar with this mansion that he can feel it even with his eyes closed.
Now that he came in, Xu Shizhong was sitting there with a note in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.Seeing him come in, he put it down, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Seeing that the mansion is well built and fresh, I couldn't help but stop and take a look." He was still calm at this moment.
Xu Shizhong didn't want to get entangled with him, so he told the butler to retreat, and only when there were only two people left in the study, did he speak: "You went to the north to see the fourth child?"
"Go! See you!" Li Cheng said calmly.
"Just to send me a message?" Xu Shizhong sized him up. This kid is actually not bad. The Jin family is willing to give his hand when they are in this position. His character is not bad.
Li Cheng immediately showed a look of 'Don't be sentimental', without the slightest fear of him, "I'm going to the north to buy some New Year's goods, and I'll go to see if the fourth child is still alive..."
"There is something in the words, right?" Xu Shizhong said, "I didn't say to kill the Jin family."
Li Cheng chuckled, just like it wasn't your fault that the Jin family was forced to leave the city so early.
Xu Shizhong saw through his meaning at a glance, "...Don't do that, I can know who is sincere to the Jin family, and everyone is lying to the Jin family. Even without you, don't tell me there is no arrangement in front of me?"
"Arrange what?" Li Cheng said hurriedly, "Arrange for the bandits in Qingfengzhai to intercept and kill them halfway?"
Xu Shizhong's complexion changed, he didn't know this, "Qingfengzhai? Where is it?" Immediately afterwards, he reprimanded, "Why didn't you report such an important matter?"
Li Cheng's eyes widened, "I just came back, how do I report it? Besides, I haven't seen the hair of the bandit, who knows if it's true or not. You are in charge of the country. You should blame the local parents for this matter, not me. no!"
Talking back and bang bang, it's the same virtue as when I came to the mansion with my fourth son.
No matter how he changed, he never changed with sincerity.
This question related to the court affairs, he tried a word, but Li Cheng didn't have any other meaning.He also felt relieved!If the mentor was intercepted and killed by bandits halfway, this would be a clue, and there would be troubles in the court.In such a matter, Li Cheng was so calm in front of him, it was not even the slightest calculation.
His complexion softened, and he asked, "Is Miss Qiong at your house?"
"No!" Li Cheng denied, "I went out to pray to the Buddha, and I didn't want to get pregnant, so the old lady happened to bump into me and took me to Zhuangzi. Now I can't move!" Then he frowned again, "I and Why are you explaining this! That's me as a daughter-in-law, and I called my family to raise a baby, what's the matter? Did the He family's bastards sue? He dared to sue his grandma? Jin Jiayi If something happened, I wish I could kill my daughter-in-law. The family has even started looking for a stepmother, and they will divorce his wife when that kid from the He family comes back. You are talking about his mother's bastard or not!"
Xu Shizhong's expression turned cold, "Is that true for the He family?"
Li Cheng snorted softly, "Don't you worry about the fourth child! Others don't know about the affairs of the Jin family, but you don't know? The sister-in-law of the Jin family is a calculating person, and you should know better than others. The fourth child is not alone. Avoiding and avoiding again and again, afraid that the big house will think too much? Otherwise, sister Qiong can follow Xiao Xu's wishes and marry into the He family. If it is not that the kid in the He family is still acting like that, it will be strange if he agrees. This It's not like you don't know about it. At that time, my fourth child and I both started fighting, calling him a bastard and even letting go of my daughter's marriage. You don't know, my daughter-in-law has been taken care of by her natal family, and her nephew from her natal family is the most appropriate. "
Li Cheng's daughter-in-law was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are not many officials, she must be a great successor.It can be regarded as the clear stream among the clear streams, and it is not light among literati.Not to mention the wealth of the family, the key is that the family is known for its cleanliness.Men in the clan are not allowed to take concubines. If there is only a daughter in the family, the daughter can take [-]% of the property as a dowry, and the remaining [-]% can be left to the heirs.
But even so, not only did the family disappear, but the family business became more and more prosperous.
People who love their daughters all want to marry their daughters into the family. Therefore, there are always women who can enter that family, not to mention one in a thousand, but one in a thousand.The good girl who picks up the door doesn't need to worry about the heirs. The property of each family is clear, and they all think about how to prosper their own family business. Who has the time to intrigue.Some who have no sons are not afraid of being conspired to seize the family business.After all, those children are adopted, and they may not get much.How to adopt depends on the meaning of the clan and the person.Some people don't want it, so let's put it aside.Looking back, if you meet a child who lost his mother early, or has various unexpected encounters that are not very good, just adopt him.
There is a saying in the south of the Yangtze River that "to marry a daughter, you must marry Cen Jialang".
Xu Shizhong had heard about this from his own daughter, and now that he thought about it, it was really not easy for the fourth child.He sighed, but remembered what Ping An had said to him when he was still alive, and there was no pity for the fourth child in those words.
He said, "It's getting colder outside the city. If you're worried, bring it to me and ask her to be with Sister Ying." My daughter is fine with everything, but she's too lonely.Because he was afraid of accidents, someone used his daughter as a raft, and the child was almost kept in the yard, which was very boring.It's also good for my niece to pick me up, as a companion.
Li Cheng didn't, he didn't say he was worried, he just said: "Your second wife is not a good idiot, I'll be a good girl over there. I will be taken to my house during the Chinese New Year, and my wife didn't give birth to me. A girl is here, I wonder if Miss Qiong is here."
Prince Shun's mansion, that is, the eldest son, has several concubine daughters, who are also his own nieces.But Li Cheng and his wife didn't dare to get too close easily, mainly because they were afraid that their sister-in-law would think too much.I thought the couple were going to support the concubine.
He sent Xu Shizhong back directly, and the well-meaning people didn't follow him.
Fine!What's going on with the He family, he just needs to be watched.
Immediately changed the subject of the quilt, "I read in the letter from the fourth brother, it said about relocation..."
"Then who knows who the county magistrate has listened to, right?" Li Cheng chuckled, seeing naked||naked||naked in his eyes, he almost didn't say clearly, it's you or you or you.
Xu Shizhong's face darkened, "In your opinion, I'm just a small person."
Li Cheng curled his lips, with a look of impulsiveness, "I used to think you were pretty good, at least compared to my elder brother, you can be regarded as a half-hearted good person... But what happened later? Good guy, you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, even the old man Don't let it go! Thanks to our brother-in-law and brother-in-law, we don't remember the elder sister. Now there is a stepmother and a stepfather. The eldest sister has only been gone for a few years! I wish I could get rid of the old man. Hurry up! I'm wondering why the eldest sister is so sorry..."
Furious, Xu Shizhong picked up the teacup and threw it to the ground, "Shut up!"
There was a sound from inside, and the attendants and guards from outside rushed in, and Li Cheng was annoyed, "This is even going to kill me!"
Xu Shizhong waved his hands, "Get out, you are not allowed to come in unless you are called."
The attendants and guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not dare to disobey and retreated one after another.
Li Cheng looked terrified, but he sat down again, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Xu Shizhong snorted softly, "Don't mention Madam's affairs..."
Li Cheng turned his face and looked out the window, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it. When the newcomer is about to enter the door, just send Sister Ying to Jin's house!"
Newcomer, what a newcomer!
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes to hide a bit of pain, and then said: "Are you here to anger me sincerely?"
"I dare not!" Li Cheng became serious, "Yesterday I sent you a letter. If you just pretend that you haven't read it and don't ask me to ask about it, then I really won't say anything about it." Yes. But...you called me here...then I am emotional and nostalgic, so I really have no choice but to tell you." He got up and sat opposite Xu Shizhong, "This time I Come back, and bring back a person from the Jin family."
Xu Shizhong's eyes widened in astonishment, "She...is back?" Then he was annoyed, "What is she doing back? If she doesn't guard Yi'an to make amends, why is she coming back?"
Yi'an is the name of the second child of the Jin family.
The eldest sister of the Jin family is called Ping An, the uncle is named Jing'an, the second master is Yi'an, the third master is He'an, and the fourth master is Wu'an.
But since the accident in Ping'an Yi'an, Jin Kuang is not very willing to call these words.
Li Cheng looked at him: "What's wrong with her? That person is guilty, and you, a friend and brother, are guilty. She is a woman, so what is she guilty of?"
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes fiercely, but his chest heaved and heaved, and then he smiled wryly: "It's a disaster! It's a disaster! It's a disaster!"
Something flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, "Could it be that there is something hidden about this matter?"
Xu Shizhong opened his eyes again, but his eyes were already red, and he turned his back, "Where is the person, you leave the address, and I will ask someone to pick it up. And... tell your brother, if there is someone in his disciples If it’s reliable, please get someone’s resume. Everyone in Yinzhou has to change..."
To replace the officials of Yinzhou Mansion with people from Shun Wang Mansion, this means to protect Jin's family!
Li Cheng really didn't understand, whether this person was loyal or traitor, for a while, he couldn't tell the difference.
He couldn't tell the difference, so he just raised his hand to take a pen, wrote down the address on the paper, turned his head and left.
The entourage and guards outside saw this safe and sound person coming out, and then they each looked at each other... Li Cheng smiled at them, and walked away in a steady step.
It was also a matter of luck, when I went out, I actually walked face to face with Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou is Xu Shisi's wife, she is very pungent.Jin Laosi has been married to Lin for many years, and Zhou and Xu Shisi have been married for many years.The couple over there have five sons and daughters, and they are about to have a grandson. What about here?Zhou's didn't give birth to a single egg.The aunts, concubines, and concubines in the mansion almost filled the Xu family's house, and gave birth to a nest of sons and daughters, who were not raised very carefully.This guy is not satisfied yet, so he keeps a house outside.Xu Shizhong didn't know why, but he was very arrogant towards this younger brother.Anyway, if the sister-in-law doesn't sue, he doesn't care. If you sue, he will beat him to death. Zhou's beating is afraid that he will be a widow and dare not sue, so he stops.
This time, Mrs. Zhou seemed to have come back from outside.The people who followed were all carrying smile packages, which is the standard equipment for going out.But if you don't go back to the inner courtyard and come this way, you must sue.
He laughed inwardly, before he left, he told a few friends about Xu Shisi's confinement, and asked them to reveal it cautiously, and go to the Zhou family to investigate carefully, isn't there too much time?No, it worked.
Happy in the heart, but not kind on the face.Seeing the female family members approaching, he saluted from a distance and made way to the side of the road, turning his body so as not to look directly.
Zhou's stopped her feet instead, "Is it the second master Cheng?"
Li Cheng looked like a gentleman, "Hi Ma'am!"
"What kind of wife am I?" Zhou asked, "Don't be so polite, we played together when we were young, and I still call you Brother Cheng?"
The Zhou family followed the late emperor's generals and had a good relationship with Shun Palace.
Li Cheng was helpless, "Hello, sister Zhou."
A trace of sadness flashed in Zhou's eyes, and then he said: "I originally wanted to look at the love when I was a child, but you see that bastard in our family can send someone to tell me, I don't want everyone to know, just keep it from me Keep it a secret. Hmph! None of you are more righteous than Brother Jin, if he knows, he will definitely tell me."
Li Cheng thought to himself, the Zhou family girl wanted to marry Jin Lao Si back then, but it was a pity that the Lin family got ahead of her.If Xu Shisi found out about this, he would explode with anger.
He had a wry smile on his face: "This kind of thing...it's fine to catch a rape. How dare we say such a thing! You are husband and wife, you can't stay close!"
Zhou's eyes widened: "Who kisses him? Brother Cheng and I are even more kissing him!"
Don't!Don't say this, it's easy to misunderstand.
Li Cheng was a little scared, as if meeting Zhou was not lucky, he almost ran away.
Xu Shizhong knew everything about the outside world clearly, he said angrily: "Tell Zhou Shi, I know what she wants to say, tell her to go back and stay at ease."
Zhou Shi got the words, curled his lips and led the people to turn around and leave.
On this day, Xu Shizhong stayed in the study, no one was called in.The food box was brought in and out again, without moving a bite.
When it was dark, he got up and called for someone, ready to leave the house.
Xu Shizhong memorized the address on the table and took off the lampshade to ignite it until it was burned to ashes, then he took his clothes and opened the door to go out.
In the capital city of the twelfth lunar month, when it gets dark, there are fewer people.The bustling places are where the rich have fun, and the poor have clothes to keep out the cold, but the wind is cold at night, and their cold clothes still can't stand the cold.Almost never walks outside unless absolutely necessary.Therefore, these two shabby carriages traveled from the street to the alley, and almost never met anyone.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the innermost part of the alley, and a man in a big black cloak came down from the inside and knocked on the door himself.After a while, there were light footsteps coming from the door, followed by a click of the latch, and the door opened a crack.The people inside did not show their faces, still hiding in the shadow behind the door.
The guard wanted to go in first, holding a lantern in his hand, but Xu Shizhong stopped him, and only ordered in a low voice: "Wait outside."
Then the person went in directly, and immediately after, the door was closed from the inside, and the bolt was inserted.
Xu Shizhong glanced at the person in the shadow, this person did not speak, he led the way outside, and led him directly into the main room.The room is small, and there is a charcoal basin, so it is not too cold.
Xu Shizhong lifted his cloak and looked up at this person: this person has a slender and gentle figure, with long hair hanging down, without a woman's bun, as if he was going to sleep.The black-clothed and black-skirted woman turned around coldly, her appearance made it almost impossible to tell her age.
This person is not who Wenshi is.
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes: "What are you doing back here?"
"What am I doing when I come back?" Wen sneered, "If I don't come back, no one will come looking for me?"
Xu Shizhong frowned: "Someone is looking for you?"
"I was stopped by bandits on the way, and they were going after me. They didn't want to kill people, they wanted to take me back!" Wen took a deep breath, "When I arrived at my hometown, there were still people looking for me under the banner of the Wen family... "
Xu Shizhong looked down and said nothing, "This may not have anything to do with the palace."
Wen shook his head: "If it's not the palace, who else could it be? Isn't it the one who is staring at the First Prince! Let me ask you now, how is my son?"
Xu Shizhong was furious: "What is your son? Where is your son! Remember it for me, you are Yi'an's wife, you were his man when you were born, and you have to be his ghost when you die! Besides being his woman, I will not ask you to be anyone's woman! You should believe me, I have this ability now!"
Wen's stared at Xu Shizhong in disbelief: "You killed all the Wen family just for Yi'an's reputation?"
Xu Shizhong lowered his eyelids, "Yi'an...I don't allow anyone to tarn|stain Yi'an's reputation."
Wen sat on the edge of the kang, staring at the charcoal fire, his eyes were dim, "I want to know... why did Yian die? Don't tell me, you still haven't figured it out. It's him... ...killed it?"
Xu Shizhong looked at her with a complicated expression: "...he killed him...how do you treat it?"
Wen's complexion was pale: "Why?"
"Why?" Xu Shizhong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "In order to make you queen!"
Wen's eyes widened: "What?"
"I didn't marry you back then, it was because of the throne. Later, when I had a queen, he wanted to return you." The expression on Xu Shizhong's face slowly became numb, "Yi'an spoke a fair word for you. He Said, like this, it will make you a troublesome beauty. At that time, the queen mother was still alive, and Yi An said, the queen mother would not allow you to be a queen. There are too many women who died in the harem, if it really hurts you Friendship, you should let go..."
Wenshi burst into tears, yes!This is what Yi An would say.
However, sitting on the emperor's throne, Li Zhao is not just a friend who takes care of him wholeheartedly and can entrust his wife and children.He is the king!The king's inverse scales cannot be touched!
Mentioning the empress dowager at that time was touching Ni Lin, and he would feel that you underestimated him and did not respect him as an emperor from your heart.
Yi An, Yi An!I've advised you many times, why didn't you listen.
Xu Shizhong also only looked at the charcoal fire, "...he made you queen, I believe he has affection for you and owes you. But this is also a temptation, he is testing Yi'an, and he is also testing me. If Yi'an doesn't say anything, If his wife makes way, he won't have another word. As for me, as long as I keep silent and watch my younger sister who is the main wife give up my position, and don't covet the position of queen, then I will pass the test! But... Why? Yi'an and you have stayed together for more than ten years and treated each other with courtesy... There can be no trace of affection? It is an object that has been used for ten years, and it should have feelings, let alone two people?"
Wen shi covered her mouth, her heart felt as if a knife was being twisted, "Yi'an never violated the rules for me..."
"But he doesn't think that way. He thinks that Yi'an is greedy for your beauty. He entrusts you to him, but he takes you as his own. On the contrary, he thinks that Yi'an took his wife away... a king wants to do this Think, Yi'an...does he still have a way out?"
Xu Shizhong's words did not have the slightest ups and downs, "Yi'an contradicted him face to face, and he was not annoyed. On the day of the accident, we were all in the queen's palace,...I'm not sure if my sister is completely innocent...but it was her trick She wouldn't have dared without Li Zhao's instruction. Later, something happened to Yi'an. I called him out of the palace and beat him without knowing the severity, and at the same time executed the people in the palace who might be involved in this matter... ...Yi'an is dead, I can slowly investigate his death. But if Li Zhao is asked to push Yi'an's death onto my sister...then the Xu family and I will die without a place to bury. Yi'an's death There will be no future at all! This matter... I handled it with selfish intentions, and because of this, Ping An held a grudge... To the end of her life, she thought that my sister and I had joined forces to kill her brother... I am wronged! The matter is gone At this point, I have no choice but to do it. If I don't force him, he will force me to death. Then you say, what should I do?"
Wen Shi shook her head, if this was the case, she wouldn't know what to do.
Xu Shizhong asked again: "No matter why you came back... Now that you're back... what do you want?"
Wenshi looked at him: "If I don't come back, that girl of mine will come back..."
Xu Shizhong frowned: "Does the Jin family know?"
Wen nodded, "I'm ashamed to stay in Jin's house anymore... Originally I wanted to promise Lan'er to the second son of the fourth family, but who knew that if this happened, siblings should live and die... But I'm still on the way, Li Cheng received a letter again, saying that... the Lin family agreed again... the Jin family... kindly... entrusted the child, and I have nothing to let go..."
Xu Shizhong was silent, and after a long time he said: "Teacher... are you okay?"
Wen shook his head: "I don't see people much anymore."
Xu Shizhong laughed at himself, "Taught two wolves, and even fed my own son to the wolves. How could it be good? I also asked nonsense. You just said what you want? What do you want me to do?"
Wenshi rubbed his hands unconsciously, "Tell me the truth...what happened to him?"
"It's true that he asked for immortality, and it's true that alchemy is true. It's true that the pills won't cause major problems...but it's true that my sister added something else to her alchemy ingredients...he... half body It’s inconvenient to move...and I don’t want others to know, it’s all true..."
Wen Shi was stunned: "The queen..."
"The empress wants the eldest prince to ascend the throne. Li Zhao guessed the whole story as soon as he fell. It is true that he entrusted me with state affairs. He knows that I will not kill him...knows that I would rather let an abolished emperor control the government, I also don't want to support any eldest prince as an uncle. Therefore, in terms of treating the eldest prince, my position is different from yours. "
Wen slowly got up, "I don't want my son to be the emperor, I just want to make up for my son as my biological mother. I want to enter the palace, even if it is a rough envoy. I want to stay with my son By my side, take care of him..."
Xu Shizhong smiled mockingly: "Oh? Just want to take care of the eldest prince? It's easy... move the eldest prince out of the palace... just open a prince's mansion. You can do whatever you want in the prince's mansion..."
"Okay!" Wen Shi nodded in response, "Then move the eldest prince out, I will take care of my child in the prince's mansion..."
Xu Shizhong looked at Wen's seriously, but he really couldn't see through this woman.But he had always had doubts about her.Well done, why did Li Zhao insist on making her queen?Just to test him and Yi'an, there are plenty of ways, why are you so eager to handle this matter.
He took a deep look at Wen Shi: "You should go to the palace! Don't talk about taking care of the eldest prince... I will send you to see him directly... All he misses is you, how can I not be satisfied? ?” After finishing speaking, he got up directly, “I will send someone to pick you up before going to court tomorrow.”
Wen Shi took two steps forward: "You trust me?"
Xu Shizhong shook his head: "I can't believe it! But... if you stay outside, people who recognize you will guess something. I don't want Yi'an's reputation to be damaged, that's all."
Wenshi couldn't sleep at night, facing the candlelight on the kang table.How much should he believe Xu Shizhong's words?But no matter how credible it was, there was one person who couldn't escape, and that was Queen Xu Shinian.
No matter who is responsible for Yi'an's death, don't try to run away.
Thinking of this, the eyes staring at the candle became a little drowsy, and then slowly closed, as if a little drowsy.One was sleepy and wanted to sleep, but he didn't want the smell of fireworks in his nose.
fire!fire!fire!
Is someone trying to burn themselves?who is it?Who is it?
No!No!Can't die!
She sat up with her eyes open, and the room was indeed filled with thick smoke, and the fire poured in from the door with its tongue out...
"No!" Sister Lan sat up abruptly, with a dazed expression.
Sister Xuan was taken aback, and looked at her wrapped in a quilt: "What's wrong with Cousin Lan? Did you have a nightmare?"
Wen Lan'er gave an 'um' and wiped her face, only to find that her face was covered with sweat.Looking down at her body again, even her underwear was wet!
Sister Xuan asked confusedly, "What did you dream about?"
Wen Lan'er shook her head with difficulty: "It's nothing... just dreaming about fire... such a big fire..."
Sister Xuan kicked off the quilt a little to get some air, "No wonder I dreamed of a fire, the kang is too hot."
Wen Lan'er responded vaguely, but still covered the quilt for Sister Xuan, "Go to sleep, I think it's still early. But I disturbed you!"
"No! The night is too long." Sister Xuan turned over, no longer feeling sleepy, and in the distance, it seemed that someone was cleaning the yard, "Uncle Stutter woke up."
Wen Lan'er let go of the uneasiness in her heart, and lay down with her, "It's not snowing anymore, it's strangely cold outside. Lie down for a while longer."
"Today my third brother and the others are going to the town to have a look, do you want my cousin to go?" Sister Xuan wanted to follow, "I don't know if it's fun or not."
"Only one street, Erli Road, what fun can there be?" Wen Lan'er said, "It's just selling some frozen pears and persimmons, you like them, just ask your brother to bring them for you."
Sister Xuan woke up early in the morning and went to find her third brother, "Cousin Lan told you to bring me frozen pears and frozen persimmons."
Brother Shen's face flushed slightly: "You told me you wanted to eat it, wouldn't I buy it for you?" Why are you so narrow?
"I told you that I want to eat, you must talk about me, I am not allowed to eat cold." Sister Xuan made a face, and ran to the main room, "Third brother, remember to buy more. Our family has a large population!"
Lin Yutong heard it inside, and laughed: "People who sleep on the heated kang get angry, and those who soak in Coptis chinensis are bitter, no one drinks it, but it feels comfortable to eat frozen pears."
While they were talking, Jin Yiqian came to invite him, saying that the old man had come and was at the old lady's place, and asked the fourth master to come over.
Jinji is here?
Come here, come here, what are you calling fourth master for?
While dressing fourth master, Lin Yutong asked Jin Yiqian, "Is the elder master here for the Chinese New Year?"
Jin Yiqian shook his head, "Speaking inside, the little one didn't hear clearly."
Lin Yutong didn't ask any more, Fourth Master told Lin Yutong while walking away, "If you like to eat, eat less these days, don't be greedy!"
It's your period, don't be greedy.
Some in the room understood and some did not understand, and those who understood were blushing, and had to pretend that they did not understand.
Over there, the fourth master talked with Jin Yiqian about the New Year's arrangements all the way, and then he went to the old lady's side.
Jin Ji's voice came from inside, "... This is the usual practice in previous years! Grandfather's filial money, this must be given. Charcoal respect and ice respect, four seasons and eight festivals, two longevity, this can't be sloppy... from the state capital Going to the county government below, could it be that... I'm going to the state capital, it depends on whether the fourth child or the third child is going here..."
Fourth Master frowned: "No one will go!" As he spoke, he opened the curtain and walked in...
In the past, I often came here with Jin Laosi.At that time, the mistress was still the eldest sister of the Jin family. Because of the disagreement between Jin Laosi and Xu Shisi, this eldest sister wanted to turn the fight into friendship and bring the two together.On one side is the younger brother, on the other side is the younger brother-in-law, and it is difficult for her to be caught in the middle.The fourth brother Jin came here for his eldest sister.Xu Shisi is also very good at saving face. In front of his sister-in-law, he resolutely did not mention the unhappiness when he was a child.But ah, this grandson is hurting.
When I came here, apart from having to contact Xu Shisi, the one who had the most contact was Xu Shizhong.I wish I could wear a pair of trousers with Jin Laosi, because I also call Xu Shizhong brother-in-law.
At that time, people did not even dare to say it.This is for the sake of the clan, and they dare not exceed the rules.
Now, to call someone a brother-in-law's words, I'm afraid it's a high climb.
I was very emotional in my heart, but on the surface, I still had such a foolish look, as if the whole world, the emperor's boss and his second child, no one peed.
Following the butler who came out to greet him, he stepped in and saw the grandson Xu Shisi in his pocket.
Xu Shisi was in his thirties, about the same age as him and Jin Laosi.It's also quite human looking like a dog!He didn't know where he was going at this moment, and he was in a hurry to leave, and he took his entourage and hurried out step by step.
The two stopped when they saw each other.
"Second Master?" Xu Shisi frowned, why is he here?
"Don't dare! You are the second master." Li Cheng saluted one step ahead of him, "Greetings to the second master."
Xu Shisi's brows twitched, his elder brother just scolded him just now, and he didn't take what he scolded too much, probably because he should not be arrogant, and should be a man with his tail between his legs.He wanted to ask the men of the clan to salute him, a man with no official position, no rank, and no rank, before he left the house.
He was so angry that he almost snorted, leaving Jin Laosi, and this one came to add trouble.
But he still had to hurry up and return the gift in a bigger way, "Zhe Sha is here! Zhe Sha is here. Second Master, you are polite." Such an 'important' guest came to the door, he couldn't just walk away like this.Of course, if Li Cheng had a bit of insight and said, "Go ahead, you don't need to accompany me", that would be a different matter, it would not be considered rude.But the grandson acted as if he didn't know what he had to do, and he led him the way by himself, so he really took it calmly.That's all, I walked very slowly along the way, seeing Lao Teng still standing down and walking around, looking at it carefully.When I saw the reliefs in the corridor, I also stood and looked at them, and nodded from time to time, as if appreciating them.You taste a big head ghost!You used to run around this mansion once a day, but at least twice in three days.You and the fourth brother Jin almost know how many tiles there are on the roof of my house, and now they are here to install new guests, for what purpose, not to make things difficult for themselves.It's not that I can't see these two things, it's that this grandson is too damn grandson.
The entourage is jumping anxiously behind, not moving here, what can I do?
If the elder brother was not in the mansion, he would have dared to say 'Go to your uncle', but the elder brother is here now, I don't know what happened today, he seems to be in a bad mood.He had to hold on tight.
Therefore, I was so anxious that I had to accompany him like this.Then the old man finally stopped admiring the old rattan brick wall, moved his footsteps, and asked about other things.
"This pavilion is not bad, who did you ask to draw the picture? The Feng Shui position is well chosen."
Damn!Didn't you take the initiative to pay for the original pavilion after you and Jin Laosi used knives and guns to cut scratches on the pillars?Who drew the picture, which Feng Shui master was invited, is there anyone who knows better than you?
He avoided the housekeeper a bit, and gritted his teeth in a low voice, "It's so bad?"
Yo!
Li Cheng squinted at him: "Do you still know how to write the word measure?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Shisi said angrily.
"Almost beat Jin Lao Si to death, it's poisonous enough!" Li Cheng snorted softly, squinting at him, "So, be careful when you go out, when you lose your sense of propriety, maybe others can't control the fire... "
Xu Shi was at a loss for words, and said angrily, "Stop slandering others, I didn't say I killed him."
As soon as I said this, I understood it instantly.At that time, as long as he showed his intentions, the people below would hug him and make trouble.There was a bit of sarcasm on his face: "That's what he deserves!"
The mouth is quite hard!
Li Cheng smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead! I hope you can be so stubborn for the rest of your life."
What is this nonsense?
good words!
The butler continued to lead him as if he hadn't heard him.Li Cheng didn't speak until he entered the study.
He is so familiar with this mansion that he can feel it even with his eyes closed.
Now that he came in, Xu Shizhong was sitting there with a note in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.Seeing him come in, he put it down, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Seeing that the mansion is well built and fresh, I couldn't help but stop and take a look." He was still calm at this moment.
Xu Shizhong didn't want to get entangled with him, so he told the butler to retreat, and only when there were only two people left in the study, did he speak: "You went to the north to see the fourth child?"
"Go! See you!" Li Cheng said calmly.
"Just to send me a message?" Xu Shizhong sized him up. This kid is actually not bad. The Jin family is willing to give his hand when they are in this position. His character is not bad.
Li Cheng immediately showed a look of 'Don't be sentimental', without the slightest fear of him, "I'm going to the north to buy some New Year's goods, and I'll go to see if the fourth child is still alive..."
"There is something in the words, right?" Xu Shizhong said, "I didn't say to kill the Jin family."
Li Cheng chuckled, just like it wasn't your fault that the Jin family was forced to leave the city so early.
Xu Shizhong saw through his meaning at a glance, "...Don't do that, I can know who is sincere to the Jin family, and everyone is lying to the Jin family. Even without you, don't tell me there is no arrangement in front of me?"
"Arrange what?" Li Cheng said hurriedly, "Arrange for the bandits in Qingfengzhai to intercept and kill them halfway?"
Xu Shizhong's complexion changed, he didn't know this, "Qingfengzhai? Where is it?" Immediately afterwards, he reprimanded, "Why didn't you report such an important matter?"
Li Cheng's eyes widened, "I just came back, how do I report it? Besides, I haven't seen the hair of the bandit, who knows if it's true or not. You are in charge of the country. You should blame the local parents for this matter, not me. no!"
Talking back and bang bang, it's the same virtue as when I came to the mansion with my fourth son.
No matter how he changed, he never changed with sincerity.
This question related to the court affairs, he tried a word, but Li Cheng didn't have any other meaning.He also felt relieved!If the mentor was intercepted and killed by bandits halfway, this would be a clue, and there would be troubles in the court.In such a matter, Li Cheng was so calm in front of him, it was not even the slightest calculation.
His complexion softened, and he asked, "Is Miss Qiong at your house?"
"No!" Li Cheng denied, "I went out to pray to the Buddha, and I didn't want to get pregnant, so the old lady happened to bump into me and took me to Zhuangzi. Now I can't move!" Then he frowned again, "I and Why are you explaining this! That's me as a daughter-in-law, and I called my family to raise a baby, what's the matter? Did the He family's bastards sue? He dared to sue his grandma? Jin Jiayi If something happened, I wish I could kill my daughter-in-law. The family has even started looking for a stepmother, and they will divorce his wife when that kid from the He family comes back. You are talking about his mother's bastard or not!"
Xu Shizhong's expression turned cold, "Is that true for the He family?"
Li Cheng snorted softly, "Don't you worry about the fourth child! Others don't know about the affairs of the Jin family, but you don't know? The sister-in-law of the Jin family is a calculating person, and you should know better than others. The fourth child is not alone. Avoiding and avoiding again and again, afraid that the big house will think too much? Otherwise, sister Qiong can follow Xiao Xu's wishes and marry into the He family. If it is not that the kid in the He family is still acting like that, it will be strange if he agrees. This It's not like you don't know about it. At that time, my fourth child and I both started fighting, calling him a bastard and even letting go of my daughter's marriage. You don't know, my daughter-in-law has been taken care of by her natal family, and her nephew from her natal family is the most appropriate. "
Li Cheng's daughter-in-law was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are not many officials, she must be a great successor.It can be regarded as the clear stream among the clear streams, and it is not light among literati.Not to mention the wealth of the family, the key is that the family is known for its cleanliness.Men in the clan are not allowed to take concubines. If there is only a daughter in the family, the daughter can take [-]% of the property as a dowry, and the remaining [-]% can be left to the heirs.
But even so, not only did the family disappear, but the family business became more and more prosperous.
People who love their daughters all want to marry their daughters into the family. Therefore, there are always women who can enter that family, not to mention one in a thousand, but one in a thousand.The good girl who picks up the door doesn't need to worry about the heirs. The property of each family is clear, and they all think about how to prosper their own family business. Who has the time to intrigue.Some who have no sons are not afraid of being conspired to seize the family business.After all, those children are adopted, and they may not get much.How to adopt depends on the meaning of the clan and the person.Some people don't want it, so let's put it aside.Looking back, if you meet a child who lost his mother early, or has various unexpected encounters that are not very good, just adopt him.
There is a saying in the south of the Yangtze River that "to marry a daughter, you must marry Cen Jialang".
Xu Shizhong had heard about this from his own daughter, and now that he thought about it, it was really not easy for the fourth child.He sighed, but remembered what Ping An had said to him when he was still alive, and there was no pity for the fourth child in those words.
He said, "It's getting colder outside the city. If you're worried, bring it to me and ask her to be with Sister Ying." My daughter is fine with everything, but she's too lonely.Because he was afraid of accidents, someone used his daughter as a raft, and the child was almost kept in the yard, which was very boring.It's also good for my niece to pick me up, as a companion.
Li Cheng didn't, he didn't say he was worried, he just said: "Your second wife is not a good idiot, I'll be a good girl over there. I will be taken to my house during the Chinese New Year, and my wife didn't give birth to me. A girl is here, I wonder if Miss Qiong is here."
Prince Shun's mansion, that is, the eldest son, has several concubine daughters, who are also his own nieces.But Li Cheng and his wife didn't dare to get too close easily, mainly because they were afraid that their sister-in-law would think too much.I thought the couple were going to support the concubine.
He sent Xu Shizhong back directly, and the well-meaning people didn't follow him.
Fine!What's going on with the He family, he just needs to be watched.
Immediately changed the subject of the quilt, "I read in the letter from the fourth brother, it said about relocation..."
"Then who knows who the county magistrate has listened to, right?" Li Cheng chuckled, seeing naked||naked||naked in his eyes, he almost didn't say clearly, it's you or you or you.
Xu Shizhong's face darkened, "In your opinion, I'm just a small person."
Li Cheng curled his lips, with a look of impulsiveness, "I used to think you were pretty good, at least compared to my elder brother, you can be regarded as a half-hearted good person... But what happened later? Good guy, you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, even the old man Don't let it go! Thanks to our brother-in-law and brother-in-law, we don't remember the elder sister. Now there is a stepmother and a stepfather. The eldest sister has only been gone for a few years! I wish I could get rid of the old man. Hurry up! I'm wondering why the eldest sister is so sorry..."
Furious, Xu Shizhong picked up the teacup and threw it to the ground, "Shut up!"
There was a sound from inside, and the attendants and guards from outside rushed in, and Li Cheng was annoyed, "This is even going to kill me!"
Xu Shizhong waved his hands, "Get out, you are not allowed to come in unless you are called."
The attendants and guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not dare to disobey and retreated one after another.
Li Cheng looked terrified, but he sat down again, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Xu Shizhong snorted softly, "Don't mention Madam's affairs..."
Li Cheng turned his face and looked out the window, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it. When the newcomer is about to enter the door, just send Sister Ying to Jin's house!"
Newcomer, what a newcomer!
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes to hide a bit of pain, and then said: "Are you here to anger me sincerely?"
"I dare not!" Li Cheng became serious, "Yesterday I sent you a letter. If you just pretend that you haven't read it and don't ask me to ask about it, then I really won't say anything about it." Yes. But...you called me here...then I am emotional and nostalgic, so I really have no choice but to tell you." He got up and sat opposite Xu Shizhong, "This time I Come back, and bring back a person from the Jin family."
Xu Shizhong's eyes widened in astonishment, "She...is back?" Then he was annoyed, "What is she doing back? If she doesn't guard Yi'an to make amends, why is she coming back?"
Yi'an is the name of the second child of the Jin family.
The eldest sister of the Jin family is called Ping An, the uncle is named Jing'an, the second master is Yi'an, the third master is He'an, and the fourth master is Wu'an.
But since the accident in Ping'an Yi'an, Jin Kuang is not very willing to call these words.
Li Cheng looked at him: "What's wrong with her? That person is guilty, and you, a friend and brother, are guilty. She is a woman, so what is she guilty of?"
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes fiercely, but his chest heaved and heaved, and then he smiled wryly: "It's a disaster! It's a disaster! It's a disaster!"
Something flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, "Could it be that there is something hidden about this matter?"
Xu Shizhong opened his eyes again, but his eyes were already red, and he turned his back, "Where is the person, you leave the address, and I will ask someone to pick it up. And... tell your brother, if there is someone in his disciples If it’s reliable, please get someone’s resume. Everyone in Yinzhou has to change..."
To replace the officials of Yinzhou Mansion with people from Shun Wang Mansion, this means to protect Jin's family!
Li Cheng really didn't understand, whether this person was loyal or traitor, for a while, he couldn't tell the difference.
He couldn't tell the difference, so he just raised his hand to take a pen, wrote down the address on the paper, turned his head and left.
The entourage and guards outside saw this safe and sound person coming out, and then they each looked at each other... Li Cheng smiled at them, and walked away in a steady step.
It was also a matter of luck, when I went out, I actually walked face to face with Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou is Xu Shisi's wife, she is very pungent.Jin Laosi has been married to Lin for many years, and Zhou and Xu Shisi have been married for many years.The couple over there have five sons and daughters, and they are about to have a grandson. What about here?Zhou's didn't give birth to a single egg.The aunts, concubines, and concubines in the mansion almost filled the Xu family's house, and gave birth to a nest of sons and daughters, who were not raised very carefully.This guy is not satisfied yet, so he keeps a house outside.Xu Shizhong didn't know why, but he was very arrogant towards this younger brother.Anyway, if the sister-in-law doesn't sue, he doesn't care. If you sue, he will beat him to death. Zhou's beating is afraid that he will be a widow and dare not sue, so he stops.
This time, Mrs. Zhou seemed to have come back from outside.The people who followed were all carrying smile packages, which is the standard equipment for going out.But if you don't go back to the inner courtyard and come this way, you must sue.
He laughed inwardly, before he left, he told a few friends about Xu Shisi's confinement, and asked them to reveal it cautiously, and go to the Zhou family to investigate carefully, isn't there too much time?No, it worked.
Happy in the heart, but not kind on the face.Seeing the female family members approaching, he saluted from a distance and made way to the side of the road, turning his body so as not to look directly.
Zhou's stopped her feet instead, "Is it the second master Cheng?"
Li Cheng looked like a gentleman, "Hi Ma'am!"
"What kind of wife am I?" Zhou asked, "Don't be so polite, we played together when we were young, and I still call you Brother Cheng?"
The Zhou family followed the late emperor's generals and had a good relationship with Shun Palace.
Li Cheng was helpless, "Hello, sister Zhou."
A trace of sadness flashed in Zhou's eyes, and then he said: "I originally wanted to look at the love when I was a child, but you see that bastard in our family can send someone to tell me, I don't want everyone to know, just keep it from me Keep it a secret. Hmph! None of you are more righteous than Brother Jin, if he knows, he will definitely tell me."
Li Cheng thought to himself, the Zhou family girl wanted to marry Jin Lao Si back then, but it was a pity that the Lin family got ahead of her.If Xu Shisi found out about this, he would explode with anger.
He had a wry smile on his face: "This kind of thing...it's fine to catch a rape. How dare we say such a thing! You are husband and wife, you can't stay close!"
Zhou's eyes widened: "Who kisses him? Brother Cheng and I are even more kissing him!"
Don't!Don't say this, it's easy to misunderstand.
Li Cheng was a little scared, as if meeting Zhou was not lucky, he almost ran away.
Xu Shizhong knew everything about the outside world clearly, he said angrily: "Tell Zhou Shi, I know what she wants to say, tell her to go back and stay at ease."
Zhou Shi got the words, curled his lips and led the people to turn around and leave.
On this day, Xu Shizhong stayed in the study, no one was called in.The food box was brought in and out again, without moving a bite.
When it was dark, he got up and called for someone, ready to leave the house.
Xu Shizhong memorized the address on the table and took off the lampshade to ignite it until it was burned to ashes, then he took his clothes and opened the door to go out.
In the capital city of the twelfth lunar month, when it gets dark, there are fewer people.The bustling places are where the rich have fun, and the poor have clothes to keep out the cold, but the wind is cold at night, and their cold clothes still can't stand the cold.Almost never walks outside unless absolutely necessary.Therefore, these two shabby carriages traveled from the street to the alley, and almost never met anyone.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the innermost part of the alley, and a man in a big black cloak came down from the inside and knocked on the door himself.After a while, there were light footsteps coming from the door, followed by a click of the latch, and the door opened a crack.The people inside did not show their faces, still hiding in the shadow behind the door.
The guard wanted to go in first, holding a lantern in his hand, but Xu Shizhong stopped him, and only ordered in a low voice: "Wait outside."
Then the person went in directly, and immediately after, the door was closed from the inside, and the bolt was inserted.
Xu Shizhong glanced at the person in the shadow, this person did not speak, he led the way outside, and led him directly into the main room.The room is small, and there is a charcoal basin, so it is not too cold.
Xu Shizhong lifted his cloak and looked up at this person: this person has a slender and gentle figure, with long hair hanging down, without a woman's bun, as if he was going to sleep.The black-clothed and black-skirted woman turned around coldly, her appearance made it almost impossible to tell her age.
This person is not who Wenshi is.
Xu Shizhong closed his eyes: "What are you doing back here?"
"What am I doing when I come back?" Wen sneered, "If I don't come back, no one will come looking for me?"
Xu Shizhong frowned: "Someone is looking for you?"
"I was stopped by bandits on the way, and they were going after me. They didn't want to kill people, they wanted to take me back!" Wen took a deep breath, "When I arrived at my hometown, there were still people looking for me under the banner of the Wen family... "
Xu Shizhong looked down and said nothing, "This may not have anything to do with the palace."
Wen shook his head: "If it's not the palace, who else could it be? Isn't it the one who is staring at the First Prince! Let me ask you now, how is my son?"
Xu Shizhong was furious: "What is your son? Where is your son! Remember it for me, you are Yi'an's wife, you were his man when you were born, and you have to be his ghost when you die! Besides being his woman, I will not ask you to be anyone's woman! You should believe me, I have this ability now!"
Wen's stared at Xu Shizhong in disbelief: "You killed all the Wen family just for Yi'an's reputation?"
Xu Shizhong lowered his eyelids, "Yi'an...I don't allow anyone to tarn|stain Yi'an's reputation."
Wen sat on the edge of the kang, staring at the charcoal fire, his eyes were dim, "I want to know... why did Yian die? Don't tell me, you still haven't figured it out. It's him... ...killed it?"
Xu Shizhong looked at her with a complicated expression: "...he killed him...how do you treat it?"
Wen's complexion was pale: "Why?"
"Why?" Xu Shizhong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "In order to make you queen!"
Wen's eyes widened: "What?"
"I didn't marry you back then, it was because of the throne. Later, when I had a queen, he wanted to return you." The expression on Xu Shizhong's face slowly became numb, "Yi'an spoke a fair word for you. He Said, like this, it will make you a troublesome beauty. At that time, the queen mother was still alive, and Yi An said, the queen mother would not allow you to be a queen. There are too many women who died in the harem, if it really hurts you Friendship, you should let go..."
Wenshi burst into tears, yes!This is what Yi An would say.
However, sitting on the emperor's throne, Li Zhao is not just a friend who takes care of him wholeheartedly and can entrust his wife and children.He is the king!The king's inverse scales cannot be touched!
Mentioning the empress dowager at that time was touching Ni Lin, and he would feel that you underestimated him and did not respect him as an emperor from your heart.
Yi An, Yi An!I've advised you many times, why didn't you listen.
Xu Shizhong also only looked at the charcoal fire, "...he made you queen, I believe he has affection for you and owes you. But this is also a temptation, he is testing Yi'an, and he is also testing me. If Yi'an doesn't say anything, If his wife makes way, he won't have another word. As for me, as long as I keep silent and watch my younger sister who is the main wife give up my position, and don't covet the position of queen, then I will pass the test! But... Why? Yi'an and you have stayed together for more than ten years and treated each other with courtesy... There can be no trace of affection? It is an object that has been used for ten years, and it should have feelings, let alone two people?"
Wen shi covered her mouth, her heart felt as if a knife was being twisted, "Yi'an never violated the rules for me..."
"But he doesn't think that way. He thinks that Yi'an is greedy for your beauty. He entrusts you to him, but he takes you as his own. On the contrary, he thinks that Yi'an took his wife away... a king wants to do this Think, Yi'an...does he still have a way out?"
Xu Shizhong's words did not have the slightest ups and downs, "Yi'an contradicted him face to face, and he was not annoyed. On the day of the accident, we were all in the queen's palace,...I'm not sure if my sister is completely innocent...but it was her trick She wouldn't have dared without Li Zhao's instruction. Later, something happened to Yi'an. I called him out of the palace and beat him without knowing the severity, and at the same time executed the people in the palace who might be involved in this matter... ...Yi'an is dead, I can slowly investigate his death. But if Li Zhao is asked to push Yi'an's death onto my sister...then the Xu family and I will die without a place to bury. Yi'an's death There will be no future at all! This matter... I handled it with selfish intentions, and because of this, Ping An held a grudge... To the end of her life, she thought that my sister and I had joined forces to kill her brother... I am wronged! The matter is gone At this point, I have no choice but to do it. If I don't force him, he will force me to death. Then you say, what should I do?"
Wen Shi shook her head, if this was the case, she wouldn't know what to do.
Xu Shizhong asked again: "No matter why you came back... Now that you're back... what do you want?"
Wenshi looked at him: "If I don't come back, that girl of mine will come back..."
Xu Shizhong frowned: "Does the Jin family know?"
Wen nodded, "I'm ashamed to stay in Jin's house anymore... Originally I wanted to promise Lan'er to the second son of the fourth family, but who knew that if this happened, siblings should live and die... But I'm still on the way, Li Cheng received a letter again, saying that... the Lin family agreed again... the Jin family... kindly... entrusted the child, and I have nothing to let go..."
Xu Shizhong was silent, and after a long time he said: "Teacher... are you okay?"
Wen shook his head: "I don't see people much anymore."
Xu Shizhong laughed at himself, "Taught two wolves, and even fed my own son to the wolves. How could it be good? I also asked nonsense. You just said what you want? What do you want me to do?"
Wenshi rubbed his hands unconsciously, "Tell me the truth...what happened to him?"
"It's true that he asked for immortality, and it's true that alchemy is true. It's true that the pills won't cause major problems...but it's true that my sister added something else to her alchemy ingredients...he... half body It’s inconvenient to move...and I don’t want others to know, it’s all true..."
Wen Shi was stunned: "The queen..."
"The empress wants the eldest prince to ascend the throne. Li Zhao guessed the whole story as soon as he fell. It is true that he entrusted me with state affairs. He knows that I will not kill him...knows that I would rather let an abolished emperor control the government, I also don't want to support any eldest prince as an uncle. Therefore, in terms of treating the eldest prince, my position is different from yours. "
Wen slowly got up, "I don't want my son to be the emperor, I just want to make up for my son as my biological mother. I want to enter the palace, even if it is a rough envoy. I want to stay with my son By my side, take care of him..."
Xu Shizhong smiled mockingly: "Oh? Just want to take care of the eldest prince? It's easy... move the eldest prince out of the palace... just open a prince's mansion. You can do whatever you want in the prince's mansion..."
"Okay!" Wen Shi nodded in response, "Then move the eldest prince out, I will take care of my child in the prince's mansion..."
Xu Shizhong looked at Wen's seriously, but he really couldn't see through this woman.But he had always had doubts about her.Well done, why did Li Zhao insist on making her queen?Just to test him and Yi'an, there are plenty of ways, why are you so eager to handle this matter.
He took a deep look at Wen Shi: "You should go to the palace! Don't talk about taking care of the eldest prince... I will send you to see him directly... All he misses is you, how can I not be satisfied? ?” After finishing speaking, he got up directly, “I will send someone to pick you up before going to court tomorrow.”
Wen Shi took two steps forward: "You trust me?"
Xu Shizhong shook his head: "I can't believe it! But... if you stay outside, people who recognize you will guess something. I don't want Yi'an's reputation to be damaged, that's all."
Wenshi couldn't sleep at night, facing the candlelight on the kang table.How much should he believe Xu Shizhong's words?But no matter how credible it was, there was one person who couldn't escape, and that was Queen Xu Shinian.
No matter who is responsible for Yi'an's death, don't try to run away.
Thinking of this, the eyes staring at the candle became a little drowsy, and then slowly closed, as if a little drowsy.One was sleepy and wanted to sleep, but he didn't want the smell of fireworks in his nose.
fire!fire!fire!
Is someone trying to burn themselves?who is it?Who is it?
No!No!Can't die!
She sat up with her eyes open, and the room was indeed filled with thick smoke, and the fire poured in from the door with its tongue out...
"No!" Sister Lan sat up abruptly, with a dazed expression.
Sister Xuan was taken aback, and looked at her wrapped in a quilt: "What's wrong with Cousin Lan? Did you have a nightmare?"
Wen Lan'er gave an 'um' and wiped her face, only to find that her face was covered with sweat.Looking down at her body again, even her underwear was wet!
Sister Xuan asked confusedly, "What did you dream about?"
Wen Lan'er shook her head with difficulty: "It's nothing... just dreaming about fire... such a big fire..."
Sister Xuan kicked off the quilt a little to get some air, "No wonder I dreamed of a fire, the kang is too hot."
Wen Lan'er responded vaguely, but still covered the quilt for Sister Xuan, "Go to sleep, I think it's still early. But I disturbed you!"
"No! The night is too long." Sister Xuan turned over, no longer feeling sleepy, and in the distance, it seemed that someone was cleaning the yard, "Uncle Stutter woke up."
Wen Lan'er let go of the uneasiness in her heart, and lay down with her, "It's not snowing anymore, it's strangely cold outside. Lie down for a while longer."
"Today my third brother and the others are going to the town to have a look, do you want my cousin to go?" Sister Xuan wanted to follow, "I don't know if it's fun or not."
"Only one street, Erli Road, what fun can there be?" Wen Lan'er said, "It's just selling some frozen pears and persimmons, you like them, just ask your brother to bring them for you."
Sister Xuan woke up early in the morning and went to find her third brother, "Cousin Lan told you to bring me frozen pears and frozen persimmons."
Brother Shen's face flushed slightly: "You told me you wanted to eat it, wouldn't I buy it for you?" Why are you so narrow?
"I told you that I want to eat, you must talk about me, I am not allowed to eat cold." Sister Xuan made a face, and ran to the main room, "Third brother, remember to buy more. Our family has a large population!"
Lin Yutong heard it inside, and laughed: "People who sleep on the heated kang get angry, and those who soak in Coptis chinensis are bitter, no one drinks it, but it feels comfortable to eat frozen pears."
While they were talking, Jin Yiqian came to invite him, saying that the old man had come and was at the old lady's place, and asked the fourth master to come over.
Jinji is here?
Come here, come here, what are you calling fourth master for?
While dressing fourth master, Lin Yutong asked Jin Yiqian, "Is the elder master here for the Chinese New Year?"
Jin Yiqian shook his head, "Speaking inside, the little one didn't hear clearly."
Lin Yutong didn't ask any more, Fourth Master told Lin Yutong while walking away, "If you like to eat, eat less these days, don't be greedy!"
It's your period, don't be greedy.
Some in the room understood and some did not understand, and those who understood were blushing, and had to pretend that they did not understand.
Over there, the fourth master talked with Jin Yiqian about the New Year's arrangements all the way, and then he went to the old lady's side.
Jin Ji's voice came from inside, "... This is the usual practice in previous years! Grandfather's filial money, this must be given. Charcoal respect and ice respect, four seasons and eight festivals, two longevity, this can't be sloppy... from the state capital Going to the county government below, could it be that... I'm going to the state capital, it depends on whether the fourth child or the third child is going here..."
Fourth Master frowned: "No one will go!" As he spoke, he opened the curtain and walked in...
