The Way of the Consort

Chapter 21 Dissatisfaction

Yin Ming took people to distribute money, and Ji Zhao continued to read Xiaoyaozi's book in Zhuangzi, laughing and laughing.

The box of books sent by His Royal Highness?

Who remembers?Anyway, Ji Zhao said on his own behalf that he didn't remember anything.

Yin Ming and the others had been busy all day, sending out all the money. The sunset dyed the sky, and a few people came back. They were going to deliver the money, and they were all greeted with pleasantly surprised smiles and thanks. This errand, although running around It was a bit tiring to go, but they were all very happy, and they would tell Ji Zhao the details when they came back.

Zhuangtou pondered this matter all night.

Zhuangtou's surname is Gao, and his mother is the younger sister of His Majesty's nanny. Although His Majesty does not recognize him, as long as his aunt's name is mentioned, His Majesty can still remember it immediately. This is considered very respectable.

Although he is very arrogant, he also knows that he will belong to the son-in-law from now on.

According to what their aunt handed over from the palace, their identity deeds will all be changed next month, and they will no longer have anything to do with the palace, and they will no longer be Huangzhuang.

But Gao Zhuangtou can think about it, it's not bad to hang out with the son-in-law.It's a pity that he didn't handle this matter well. The reason why the son-in-law gave money to the farmer was because he didn't arrange it that day?It made the son-in-law think that he was harsh on the farmer, although he did withhold a lot of money from the farmer, he is the head of the farm, and it is only right for the farmer to give money to him!

He wanted to show his face in front of the son-in-law and make a good sale. When he woke up in the morning, he took a bullock cart to the city and told the palace about the son-in-law.His aunt also wanted to make a face for him, so she immediately went to tell His Majesty about it, saying that she never thought of such a charitable person as a son-in-law, and saying that she and our princess are a match made in heaven.The left sentence is His Majesty's sage, and the right sentence is His Highness the Crown Prince's wise eyes.

His Majesty sighed from time to time, he really thought Ji Zhao was a good kid.

He called Gao Zhuangtou to come in for questioning, and when he learned that Ji Zhao had done this in silence, he also told his subordinates not to make any noise. , After thinking about it all night, I decided to come and talk to my aunt."

His Majesty praised: "You have done an excellent job."

Afterwards, 100 taels of silver were rewarded to the head of the village, and 50 taels of silver were rewarded to each villager.

Zhuang Toule was dumbfounded, this time he was in the limelight, and immediately went back with the money.

Emperor Renzong himself felt that it was not enough, so he called Zongzhen again, and once again felt the purity and nobility of Ji Zhao's character, and ordered: "I can't always reward the son-in-law, there are too many people staring at the son-in-law, otherwise there will always be words in the court." , The censor should have something to say. You reward something, or send someone to say something."

Having said all this is still not enough, he added: "The son-in-law you chose for Fu Chen is really good, brother Zhen really has a good vision."

Zongzhen came out of Yanfu Hall, laughing "hehe" in his heart.

Ji Zhao likes to put on an air of dignity, and he secretly tries every means to put money on his face. In his previous life, relying on his ability to compose a few sour poems, he coaxed the whole White Deer Academy and even scholars all over the world to praise him.

He said, why Ji Zhao didn't like to go to the academy in this life, it turned out that they changed the way.

When Zongzhen returned to the East Palace, he was still full of anger. Ji Zhao actually wrote him a poem and gave him a birthday gift back then.He also gave money in private to help Ji Zhao publish poetry books.

At first he was afraid that no one would buy them, so he even sent people in disguise to buy books, and bought a lot of them, and they were still in the library when he died.

Father said he had a good eye.

He just has a pair of dead fish eyes, and he can't make out anything.

Zongzhen asked someone to call back Gaozhuangtou who hadn't left the city yet, and asked carefully to distribute silver to 53 households, a total of 650 taels. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kind, so he made up a whole number for him and ordered Cheng Shen to take it 3000 taels of silver, and ordered: "Go, send it to the son-in-law, and say that I rewarded you."

"... "

Cheng Shen's mouth began to be bitter again, and he took the money and went out of the city.

But it was in vain, the son-in-law took people out for a stroll, and Cheng Shen waited in the Zhuangzi.

Ji Zhao also brought Wei's mother with him this time, and they went down the mountain and wandered around the fields.It is already winter, and the days are getting colder and colder, and there is nothing left to grow in the fields. Some juicy radishes and small green vegetables are planted in a few greenhouses. In the open fields, only some big ones can be seen. Cabbage, spinach and the like.

Even small animals are hibernating, and occasionally birds fly overhead, which is actually a bit bleak.

But Ji Zhao was in a good mood, and everything looked good, especially some fields were closer to the hot springs, and dwarf vegetables were planted on the open ground.Ji Zhao knew that this green vegetable tasted very sweet, so he hurried up to look at it, and even pulled out a few.

Yin Ming came back from the investigation and said excitedly, "Mr. Lang! In the reeds over there, there is a wild duck's nest!"

Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, and he hurried to go, Yin Ming followed behind: "Slow down! Be quiet! Don't scare the duck away!"

"I know! I know! I'll be gentle!" Ji Zhao walked lightly, Yin Ming strode forward, and carefully pushed aside the reeds in front of him. Sure enough, Ji Zhao saw the wild duck's nest and the fluffy ducklings. He almost fell asleep. He wants to scream excitedly, but he is afraid of scaring the duckling, so he squats down carefully and observes carefully.

He squatted down, and everyone followed suit, staring at the wild duck's nest together, waiting for the big duck to come back.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a wild duck flew over by the water in the distance. It looked around vigilantly and flew to the edge of the duck's nest. Ji Zhao was so excited that he stretched out his hand to pinch Chen Xing's hand. Chen Xing was pinched painfully. His face was so red that he didn't dare to move or make a sound.Everyone held their breath, seeing the duck getting closer and closer to the duckling.

Right now-

"It's right there!" Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the duck flew up into the sky in a panic. The duckling was circling around anxiously, but the footsteps were getting closer.

Ji Zhao was very upset. He looked at the little duck and the big duck worriedly. Just a few steps away from them, two people suddenly jumped out from the dense withered yellow reeds. They were frightened and wanted to run away. About to step on the duck nest.

"Don't step on it!" Ji Zhao hurriedly said.

The two looked back in panic, Ji Zhao was slightly stunned, what kind of eyes were those.

The people behind approached, not paying attention to Ji Zhao and the others at all, and they stretched out their hands to push him: "Get out of the way!"

Chen Xing jumped up angrily: "What the hell! Where did you come from! You don't even look at who is in front of you!"

Only then did Ji Zhao stand up supported by Yin Ming. The two people in the reeds were already scared and squatted back, and Ji Zhao turned around.He was squatting just now, but he really couldn't tell, but this time he stood up, and after a closer look, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

Not everyone can know who the owners of these farms are, but that group of people immediately gave in, and the leader hurriedly smiled: "The little ones disturbed you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Chen Xing rolled his eyes: "Go away!"

"Hehe!" The man smiled again, "Reporting to this gentleman, two girls ran away from our house, and we were ordered to come out to catch them, and please help me!"

Chen Xing stared and asked: "This is our gentleman's Zhuangzi, how dare you come here to arrest people?!"

"Lang Jun, we don't dare. We chased the girls in the direction they were fleeing. They are right here. We will keep them and leave after we catch them! Don't dare to disturb Lang Jun!" The leader made a bitter face and bowed from time to time Salute, and look into the reeds from time to time.

Ji Zhao also looked back. Of the two young ladies disguised as men, one of them lowered his eyes and did not respond, while the other's eyes were filled with tears, all pleading. Bye-Bye.

Ji Zhao glanced at Yin Ming.

Yin Ming straightened his sleeves, stepped forward and dragged the person out, Coke and the other four also went up to pull the person together, and drove the person away in a short while.

Mother Wei, who was waiting in the carriage, heard the movement, got out of the carriage and came over, asking, "What happened?"

Ji Zhao turned around and said to the two people hiding in the reeds, "They're gone, you go."

Chen Xing was shocked: "There are really people!"

He immediately stood in front of Ji Zhao, and Wei's mother also frowned and hurried over to protect Ji Zhao.

The little lady who was in tears just now kowtowed and cried: "Thank you for saving my life, sir, thank you for saving my life!"

The other little lady who had been silent all this time raised her head and glanced at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao was still shocked when he saw it at this moment. The little girl looked about his age, but the look in her eyes was so ashamed.

The little lady who kowtowed said again: "My daughter and I will remember your lord's kindness and virtue for a lifetime!"

Ji Zhao didn't know what happened to them, and to be honest, he wasn't very interested.There are some things that he can do, such as giving money to the poor farmers in his village, but there are some things that he can't do. There are differences in gender and status, and helping them cover the past is the best he can do.

He thought for a while, then took off the purse from his body, a purse full of broken silver, he stretched out his hand and handed it to the kowtowing one: "Take it with you, go north, there is a way."

"Thank you! Thank you!" The little lady kept kowtowing.

Ji Zhao was not in the mood to read any more, and turned to leave, but heard "Thank you" again.

He looked back, and the little lady with eyes full of ashes also bowed down.

Eyes full of withered yellow reeds, kneeling down on such two pitiful little ladies, Ji Zhao sighed in his heart, and took the people into the car and left.

After half an hour, he knew who the person he had just saved was.

Because the two little ladies ran out of the reeds, not far from his Zhuangzi, but they were still captured by his family.

On the way, he heard a farmer discussing this matter, so he asked Chen Xing to go down and ask, and he was surprised when he got the answer.

Chen Xing was also very surprised: "I didn't expect it to be that little lady from that day!"

Mother Wei was curious: "Which one?"

"Oh! It was that day that Mr. Lang took us out of the city to find brother Yin Ming. On the way back, didn't we meet a little widow?"

Mother Wei said "Ah", "Is that poor girl?"

"Well! I got married with a memorial tablet last month. That Liu family has several silver houses in the city. It is said that they are very rich. This little lady married and committed suicide several times, but she didn't die. She lived in the city. Well, the neighbors love to talk about this incident, which affected the business of the silver house. The day before yesterday, their family sent the little lady to the Zhuangzi outside the city, which is near here. I guess I wanted to run away again today, but I didn’t succeed! "

Wei's mother sighed: "What a crime!"

It's a crime, Ji Zhao sighed a few times, but he could only sigh so much.

Feeling a little sad, he returned to Zhuangzi, saw Cheng Shen coming, and knew that His Royal Highness had "rewarded" him another 3000 taels of silver. He didn't care to get angry this time, but Cheng Shen was a little puzzled.

Ji Zhao was not in the mood to talk too much, so he took the money with his own hands, put it on the table beside him, and asked, "Is Mr. Cheng in a hurry to go back to the palace? If you are not in a hurry, come back tomorrow morning and rest here for the night."

Cheng Shen originally wanted to stay for a meal before returning, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, and he wanted to hint to the son-in-law if he would bring something back to the palace to His Highness, so that His Highness could be happier.

Seeing the son-in-law in a trance, with mud on his feet and the purse missing from his waist, he guessed that something happened to the son-in-law, so he didn't dare to stay longer, and went back to the palace without getting a few words with Coke and the others.

Back in the palace, Zong Zhen was very dissatisfied after hearing such a contentless report.

But the farm is too spacious, so there is really no way to send someone to follow, otherwise the truth will be revealed, Zong Zhen can't help but fall into deep thought, thinking about what Cheng Shen said about Ji Zhao's purse in his waist being empty.

Ji Zhao in this life should be viewed with the thoughts of this life.

Last time, Ji Zhao used the jade pendant in his waist to exchange for the jade pendant in his waist.

According to this idea, this time, who did Ji Zhao give the purse to, and what did he get back?
