Heshen is a strict wife
Chapter 59 Book of Accounts
He Shen, who lamented his bad luck, did not speak at this time.
Su Ling'a was also in a bad mood seeing her daughter come out to embarrass herself. After all, Su Ling'a didn't dare to offend Feng Shuangzhi at this time. The matter of letting Nalan come out to sing an opera a few days ago had already annoyed his wife. If the eldest daughter Yuan Lan married If you don't go out, you can't climb the high branches of Hefu, and things will explode.
Although I have always thought that the youngest daughter Nalan is the cute and smart, but looking around yesterday and Shen's attitude seems to have no feeling for her daughter at all.But... Maybe it's because you and your wife are too tight?
Now Su Ling'a is struggling, the main reason is that he doesn't know what He Shen is thinking, if he knows what He Shen means, even if he loses a Yuanlan, he will not hesitate.
Weeping, Nalan tugged at Su Ling'a's sleeve and said, "Ama, Ama, my daughter was really scared by my sister, she's so fierce..."
Su Ling'a just noticed the two slap marks on her face, and suddenly felt angry, "This is your sister who hit you? How dare she hit you?"
Now the father and daughter have almost left He Shen as a foreigner here, and now He Shen is no longer a foreigner, he is a spectator.
Su Ling'a is too confused to see it, but He Shen is a sensible person, and now he can tell that Nalan is cruel--slap yourself and others slap her, the position of the finger print is completely different .
If you slap yourself, the shorter thumbprint is on the underside of the face. If someone else slaps you, the direction of the hand is straight, so the thumbprint is on the top.
——Of course, the possibility that Miss Yuanlan in Su Ling'a's house is a strange person who twists her hands and slaps others is not ruled out.
Originally, the appearance of the beauty crying pear blossoms with rain must be endearing, at least it can make people think that her sister Yuan Lan is not a kind person, and she treats her sister like this—Nalan thinks she is If he succeeded, if he said it in front of He Shen, even if He Shen couldn't like him, he could at least feel bad for her sister.
Thinking about how Yuan Lan was about to discuss marriage with the Hefu, and now she actually beat her own sister, this didn't match Yuan Lan's gentle reputation at all, and it was hard to avoid making people think that her reputation was in vain.If He Shen doesn't like Yuan Lan anymore, what if Feng Shuangzhi likes Yuan Lan even more?He Shen has more say in the matter of this marriage, he is He Lin's elder brother after all.
Thinking of this, Nalan cried even more sadly. She has a delicate figure, although she is thirteen or fourteen years old, but she looks very charming, and she is also proficient in opera. Her voice and posture are quite soft, Just crying like this brought a bit of Xizi's melancholy.
Su Ling'a held back her anger, and only comforted her: "Don't cry, I have entertained Mr. He here, and I will come to tell you—Mr. He, this way please."
He didn't talk about Nalan's affairs for the time being, thinking in his heart that he would teach this ignorant daughter a good lesson, and also thought that He Shen should not be offended, so he should win over He Shen first, which is the most important thing.
He Shen responded with a smile, followed Su Ling'a's lead, and went to the hall to talk.
Su Ling'a wanted to invite He Shen to take the seat, He Shen thought it was funny, since this is also Su Ling'a's own home, if it's not He Shen's turn to sit in the main seat, then it would really be the guest of honor.
He Shen declined and just sat in the first seat on the left.
Su Ling'a was flattering He Shen, so she didn't dare to sit on it, and even sat on He Shen's starting position, and poured tea for He Shen: "It's impossible to imagine that something like this happened at home, as soon as you walk in Then I met, I am ignorant here."
Su Ling'a is from Manchuria Zhenghong Banner, so he is higher than He Shen's flag status, but now He Shen has a high official position, and the first rank of official position crushes people to death, Su Ling'a flatters He Shen in every possible way, Put yourself in a very low position.
"Your Majesty Su, you are polite. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. It doesn't hurt that the girls in the house have a little temper." He Shen directly characterized this matter as "the girls are making trouble." A little temper", the implication is don't let Su Ling'a make a big fuss.
Who knew that Su Ling'a bulged her eyes and thought about it for a long time, and felt that He Shen's tone seemed to be a bit warning, and she didn't hear He Shen's already very plain words at all, thinking that He Shen felt that Yuan Lan didn't like it. good.
He no longer liked Yuan Lan in his heart, and thought he had got what He Shen meant, so he hurriedly echoed, "What I told you is that the girl's family has such a petty temper. Yuan Lan has never been as caring as Nalan. Er Niang Died early, so no one educated..."
Where do parents say this about their children?He Shen is also a father now, even if he is a son, he still knows what kind of relationship it is to be a parent. He only hopes for the well-being of his children. This Su Ling is a fool, rushing to throw his daughter into the fire pit put.
He Shen only smiled, picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea, but it was the tip of Xinyang's hair, which floated in the green tea soup, looking extraordinarily clear. "This tea tastes good, and it tastes like it was made in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that you went to the top of the mountain?"
"Last year's tea came up, but this year's tea hasn't come up yet. I'll pay you a tribute when the new Mingqian tea comes up in January." Su Ling'a said flatteringly.
The best batch in Maojian is called "Paoshanjian". Among all the famous teas, the "Mingqian" tea is the best, and there is only a small amount every year. Basically, the tea that can be sent to the capital is in the In the mansions of princes and nobles, Qianlong had a big head, and they were all brought up as tributes. The rest were either rewarded by the emperor, or quietly paid by the people below.
If you want to get to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you need a little skill.
Now this Su Ling'a casually said that it would be amazing to wait for this year's runner to come up to the top of the mountain and pick it up for him.
He Shen likes to drink tea, and Su Ling'a has investigated He Shen's preferences clearly. As the saying goes, it's what Su Ling'a does now.
He found out that He Shen likes to drink tea, so he prepared Mao Jian, and even contacted this year's mountain running, hoping that He Shen would think his filial piety was good.
Now that He Shen drank tea, he really thought it tasted good. After talking nonsense with Su Ling for a while, he was invited to the back of the hall, served good wine and food, and called out the opera singers in the mansion. At the back of the hall, there is a special performance for He Shen.
He Shen drank the wine indifferently, and when it was almost time, he was ready to start talking to Su Ling'a about business.
"Since we have already sat together today, the court is busy with affairs on weekdays, and there is no chance to connect with each other. Let's talk about it today." He Shen's simple opening remarks successfully caught Su Ling'a's attention , and then He Shen said, "I am He Lin's elder brother, Master Su must have heard that he and Miss Yuan Lan of your house are interested in each other..."
Su Ling'a heard half of it, and felt that this matter was not easy to handle. Is He Shen willing or not?
He thought of what happened to Nalan before, and felt that He Shen's attitude was even more strange.
He simply said: "Yuan Lan is an ignorant person, and she actually did something to her younger sister. It's because I didn't teach her well. If my lord and I feel that this marriage is inappropriate, there is no need to force it..."
He Shen smiled, turned the wine glass in his hand, and took only a sip. The glass didn't bottom out. He drank with restraint, and said: "I am He Lin's elder brother, and he is my younger brother. What does he like? What is good is good. The matter of marrying Lin is completely left to his sister-in-law, and He Lin can trust her, and my wife seems to like the eldest lady of your house. "
This is to remind Su Ling, don't offend Feng Shuangzhi.
After all, Feng Shuangzhi is holding on to his marriage with Lin at this time. Although it is not possible to say that He Lin will listen to Feng Shuangzhi everywhere, but if Feng Shuangzhi really has something unwilling, the marriage may be broken. .
Su Ling'a was covered in cold sweat, so what did Nalanna do before?
Probably annoyed He Shen?
Without thinking about it, he said, "It's not that Yuan Lan is ignorant. It's probably because Nalan has been wronged for the past two days, so she's in a bad mood, so she also made Yuan Lan angry. People have said since she was a child that Yuan Lan is a gentle person." Wan, if you don't dislike your younger brother with your lord..."
"I just came here for a drink with someone today. I will talk to my wife about it later." The words were never dead, He Shen pushed Tai Chi, and casually talked to Su Ling'a about his childhood with He Lin matter.
Su Ling'a complimented while listening, but few words were sincere.
He Shen was just looking for something to say casually, and while he was talking, he heard the sound of a vase shaking outside, then heard a meow, followed by a soft scream, and at the same time a pair of embroidered shoes shrank back from the door.
Su Ling'a suddenly sternly said: "Who is eavesdropping outside?!"
As soon as He Shen saw the embroidered shoes, he already guessed who it was, and Miss Nalan was really persistent.
Poor Nalan was just listening to He Shen's story, so he accidentally listened to it. Now that Su Ling'a yelled, the slaves guarding outside saw that it was his lady who was eavesdropping here. Some hesitated.
This Miss Nalan is very powerful, she calls people all day long, she is not as easy to get close to as the eldest lady, and there are not many people who like her, but now she is caught, but they dare not go up.
Over there, Su Ling'a didn't get a reply for a long time, so he felt weird, and shouted again: "Have you caught anyone yet?"
When he asked, Nalan walked in directly from the door, saluted, and said, "It's my daughter who is eavesdropping outside."
She still had scars on her face, but she wasn't crying at this time, she just felt smart and beautiful, but if it wasn't for the twinkle in her eyes, perhaps the illusion created by this would be more believable.
Su Lingah was really stunned. "I'm talking to adults, what are you doing eavesdropping outside?"
Nalan blushed and said, "I was just passing by at first, but I heard what Mr. and Mrs said was fascinating, so I listened without paying attention."
From another person's point of view, he must think this girl is cute and cute, but He Shen knows that he is just talking nonsense. He is not interested in telling these irrelevant outsiders what happened in his early years, so he thinks this girl is full of mouth. It's all a lie.
He Shen laughed, Su Ling'a seemed to think he was very happy.
Turning in his mind, he thought of Feng Shuangzhi again, and felt that Nalan had offended the couple, so he still wanted to get this relationship back, otherwise how would he get along with each other in the future?So Su Ling'a looked at He Shen and said, "My lord, it was Nalan who was ignorant in Juxian Tower that day, but she was young and made such a mistake today, I just hope you can forgive her I don't know what to do at a young age."
It's as if he and Shen want to care about this little girl, he is a person who will take revenge, but such a little girl-to be honest, he really doesn't pay attention to it.
Su Ling'a didn't notice what He Shen was thinking, so she called Nalan over and asked her to bring tea to He Shen to make amends.
He Shen said that there is no need to be so troublesome, the little girl did not provoke him or provoke him.
Su Ling said: "My lord, it's a polite thing to say. I know that no matter whether the matter between your brother and Yuan Lan can be resolved, our two families can't become enemies. It's still my youngest daughter who is smart, but I'm too young, and I'm looking at you to teach me a lesson. I'm thinking, why don't you recognize Nalan as your goddaughter, so that you can pay her back the etiquette she insists on treating you and her father in the future. I also respect you. From now on, this girl Treating you like you are treating your father will save your lady trouble."
In fact, the method that Su Ling'a came up with is quite perfect in normal times. After recognizing He Shen as Ama, Feng Shuangzhi's wariness can be dispelled no matter what, but he didn't expect it, but he almost touched He Shen's heart. bottom line.
He Shen originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Nalan seemed to be very angry at his own confusion, Ama Su Ling'a, the words came back to his throat, He Shen paused, and smiled: "My wife is a Awesome, I took your daughter as a daughter, it's not a big deal at all, but she will call my wife as a godmother in the future, and she will go back and ask my wife first .”
Next, Nalan almost subconsciously shouted "I don't want to", but Su Ling'a glared at Nalan at the right time, preventing her from saying all these words.
Nalan held his breath and didn't speak, and even stomped his feet and ran away.
Su Ling'a was so angry that she almost dropped her wine glass, but He Shen was still here and could only deal with it.
He Shen didn't expect the development of things to be so bizarre, but now Su Ling'a seems to understand how to treat her two daughters, if something happens again in the future, I can only say that Su Ling'a is a fool.
He Shen had almost eaten and drank the food and drinks here, and he had almost heard the play over there, so he got up and was about to leave, but just as he was about to go out from the front yard, he heard the excitement in front of him.
It even said that someone went to Su Ling's house to propose marriage.
He Shen froze for a moment, looked at Su Ling'a, and Su Ling'a quickly explained: "It must be that Guotai is here to make trouble, please rest assured, Mr. He, he wants to marry my youngest daughter, but my youngest daughter is only now At the age of thirteen or fourteen, when the marriageable age is reached, then Cathay will be a middle-aged man, and I will definitely not agree."
"I see." He Shen replied, and walked out without seeming to care.
When going out, Su Ling'a respectfully sent He Shen away, and the slaves over there stopped Cathay, who came to propose marriage, after Su Ling'a saw off He Shen, he walked back and said with a snort; "Because you want to marry me too Daughter? Dream your dreams!"
That Guotai is a man in his thirties, trembling with anger from Su Ling'a's voice at this moment, he pointed at him and said, "What are you talking about?! Why can't I marry your daughter? I'll come here to propose marriage , You old man swept me out last time, and now you dare to speak?!"
Su Ling'a snorted coldly: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, if you want to marry my daughter like this, go in your next life!"
Cathay was born in the Fucha family of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, but now Cathay is down and out. His father was Wenshou, the governor of Sichuan, but now Wenshou was convicted and sent to Xinjiang. Great, but there is no real shortage, and there is nothing to fish for.Su Ling'a is even worse than Cathay, she just thinks that her two daughters are beautiful and they are not worthy of someone like Cathay, so she is not polite at all.
Cathay was almost pissed off by this Su Ling, this is the so-called being bullied when one is unwilling.
He shouted: "You said that day, your little daughter, if I like to come to propose marriage, if you don't want to marry me, why would you say such a thing? My own daughter was brought up as a concubine and sent to others, I don’t want your old face! It’s thanks to the girl’s family that you are playing around like this, shameless old thing!”
This time it was Su Ling'a's turn to get angry, he jumped into a rage, and only cursed: "Good boy, good boy, why don't you beat this frivolous person out!"
The servants below naturally listen to the master.
If this matter got out, it might become someone else's gossip and become a laughing stock.
He Shen's sedan chair passed by slowly like this. He heard all this, and he had some thoughts.
After returning to the mansion, he asked Feng Shuangzhi, and said that he was not in the house, but in the study, so he went to the study, pushed the screen and lifted the curtain, and saw Feng Shuangzhi who was really sleeping on the desk.
She seemed to have just written something, and she was a little tired. The brush was placed in her hand, and her palm was already wet, and the ink was pure black. It made people wonder what happened to her when she was younger. Learned from the teacher.
He can fall asleep after writing anything, and He Shen is convinced by Feng Shuangzhi, but he didn't wake her up, but gently picked up some pages that were put aside. The planning of the above things...
The men in the mansion should be responsible for this matter, but there are still too few people in their mansion. After all, He Lin is going to start working in the court, and He Shen also wants to give He Lin a suitable position. Instead of telling He Lin about Zhuangzi's matters, Feng Shuangzhi took over.
He wanted to put his clothes on Feng Shuangzhi, but Feng Shuangzhi had already woken up, so he pressed the clothes on her body and said, "Go and rest when you are tired, this study is not the same. There is no place for you to sleep, why did you lie on the table?"
Feng Shuangzhi rubbed his eyes, and suddenly saw a piece of ink on his palm, and said, "I fell asleep while writing. Today at noon, the dumplings were noisy, and they refused to drink milk. I coaxed them for a long time. That's good, he's a troublemaker. I can write about Zhuangzi's affairs in a short time, so don't worry about me."
He Shen felt distressed, so he laughed at her: "You also know that I am worried about you, so don't suffer like this. You can promote some people to take care of Zhuangzi's affairs in a few days, and Liu Quan'er will be around."
Liu Quan'er is capable, but there are some things that the people below can't let go of, and they have to be cultivated slowly.
Who is credible and who can use it needs to be seen slowly.
Recently, some new houses and lands have been bought, and everyone needs to take care of them. Once things are back on track, Feng Shuangzhi doesn't have to be so busy.
She regained her energy after sleeping for a while, so she stood up and stretched, and He Shen just hugged her full, and said with a smile: "I went to Su Ling'a's house today and drank a pot of good tea. "
What he was thinking about was still the tea, running to the top of the mountain, even though it was from last year.
He Shen said again: "It's a pity you didn't go, this mansion is much richer than ours."
Feng Shuangzhi laughed at him: "You are envious of Su Ling'a, a small official. Anyway, you are also in the military aircraft department. You can be regarded as a military aircraft minister. If you are so blind, people will laugh at you someday."
"Hey, He Shen doesn't have a wife with vision. My husband wants to drink this good tea, I just hope that the good wife will work hard to make money for my husband, so that one day I can live a good life that I can drink and go to the top of the mountain. gone."
He Shen was only half joking, and Feng Shuangzhi was amused by this full of teasing tone.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "One year to clear the magistrate of the county, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. The people below have some skills, but you can't compare with them. Our family doesn't collect much, and most of them are harvested and managed by Zhuangzi. "
He Shen nodded, and suddenly said: "I went to Su Ling'a's house today, and I encountered a embarrassing thing. Guess what?"
"I can't guess, just tell me." Most likely it was Su Lingana's stupid words, right?But looking at He Shen's expression, why is it a little subtle?
Feng Shuangzhi never imagined that what He Shen said would be——
"That Su Ling, Ayang, I took Na Nalan as my goddaughter. I thought my family still had a jar of jealousy, so I didn't dare to agree. I came back and asked my wife for instructions, and I also asked my wife for instructions."
He Shen's tone was really indescribably funny.
Feng Shuangzhi was shocked by this sentence, "Daughter?"
It is also fortunate that Su Ling'a can say such a thing, although it is not uncommon for court officials with good relations to accept each other's goddaughters, and there are even some who directly treat their goddaughters as concubines. Didn't the goods also come up with this idea?In short, Feng Shuangzhi was extremely disgusted by the word "goddaughter".
As soon as she frowned, she wanted to say no, but at this moment she changed her mind and said: "Yuan Lan is going to marry He Lin, if we take Nalan as a goddaughter, what will happen to our seniority?" ?”
He Shen frowned, "Don't you really want to accept her as a goddaughter?"
Feng Shuangzhi wanted to laugh when he saw his expression as if facing a formidable enemy, and said, "Didn't you ask me to think about it?"
"Let me tell you, don't you take it seriously?" He Shenxin said that seniority is not a problem at all. The Manchurian Eight Banners' seniority is extremely chaotic, and the problem is the identity of a daughter.
He Shenman thought that Feng Shuangzhi would refuse, and didn't want Feng Shuangzhi to say: "The girl on the left and right is ambitious, I will pick a good day for her to come to the mansion with her sister, and then leave her alone, if you can get to know each other Of course it’s good, if you don’t know your face, get ready to strangle him to death, so as not to cause any trouble in the future.”
"..." He Shen suddenly felt like he was lifting a rock, "I really don't understand what you are thinking..."
Feng Shuangzhi said: "I am a person who can't see other people's comfort. If others make me uncomfortable, I will make him uncomfortable too. Let's see if this Nalan is a smart person."
Su Ling'a must be dealt with properly, if not handled well, trouble may arise, but Feng Shuangzhi is careful and careful about all the people who are related to the real history.Moreover, she wants to see what Yuanlan thinks, what she thinks of her younger sister...
In a few days, it was reported that Wang Jie, the number one scholar in the current department, had been promoted from the South Study Room to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. This meant that he had worked with Cathay Pacific.
Feng Shuangzhi had originally planned to invite sister Yuanlan Nalan to come, but he didn't want this incident to come up, so he had to prepare a congratulatory gift for He Shen first.
She was thinking about Wang Rulong, so she asked him if he had asked Wang Rulong. He Shen said that Wang Rulong had returned to Yangzhou two days ago, and she didn't know when he would come back.
There was no suitable gift in the warehouse, so Feng Shuangzhi took this opportunity to go out and buy some things. After entering Hengtai Zhai, he went in and asked if their boss was there. Originally, He Shen said he was not, but Feng Shuang didn't want to buy something today. By coincidence, Wang Rulong came back two days after he left, and when he came in, he heard Feng Shuangzhi asking about his whereabouts, so he went forward to apologize.
Feng Shuangzhi already knew that Wang Rulong was not a simple person, so he didn't dare to underestimate him at this moment, and after a few words with him, he said that he wanted to choose a gift.
We all went to Hengtai Zhai to pick out gifts, so we knew that we must want something unique and outstanding.
Wang Rulong knew how to do business, so he led Feng Shuangzhi to sit in the back room, and the good things were laid out slowly one by one. He called someone to pick up the things, and poured tea for Feng Shuangzhi.
Feng Shuangzhi could smell the fragrance when he was pouring out the tea, and suddenly remembered the sip of Heshen's good tea, and said, "I don't know when this year's Mingqian tea will be available, but it's very interesting." It’s tight, you have to get a box to drink.”
Wang Rulong laughed when he heard this: "This ordinary tea can be put in the salt ship, but Mingqian Tea dare not do that, but if you really want to drink it, I can get it for you here, Madam is mine As a regular customer, this tea is my tribute to you. The tea here comes earlier than the tea from the palace."
"Speaking of which, I've heard that things about water transport are not going well recently." Feng Shuangzhi said something pointedly.
Wang Rulong's eyes flashed, he touched his chins, and said: "The boss is gone, there must be chaos for a while, but who knows when it won't appear again?"
"Boss Wang must know something, right?" Feng Shuangzhi smiled, and looked at the smiling Wang Rulong, "If you have any news, why not share it, anyway, I am also your regular customer."
Wang Rulong just smiled, "Actually, the matter is not as serious as you think. You came to ask me today to test whether I know the news from Jiangnan. I have no doubts. I can only tell you that Lian Shuangcheng is a fateful and ambitious man. When the Cao Gang fought, he failed to die with eight arrows in his body, and even gave up the Jiangnan genius doctor. I came back from the gate of hell again... Well, let's wait and see anyway..."
In fact, Wang Rulong has already set up a line with Lian Shuangcheng, and now he holds the ledger of the Jiangnan Salt Administration in his hand. If he is dead or someone else kills him, he won't get any benefits, and now the people who chased him have been withdrawn long ago.
Hearing Wang Rulong's words confirmed Feng Shuangzhi's own guess. She didn't ask any more questions, but just waited for Wang Rulong to take out the things, picked them out and went back home. Then, I heard someone talking outside, as if a distinguished guest had come.
"Ma'am, what's so good about coming to Hengtai Zhai? Don't the things in our house need to be a million times better here? Even if it's a gift..."
"If you want to talk too much here, be careful that I will be torn apart by you later."
"...I know I was wrong..."
This voice is so familiar.
Feng Shuangzhi recognized it immediately, this is...Chen Xijia?
She wanted to put the teacup away and go out to say hello, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she sat down.
The next moment, Feng Shuangzhi was glad that he didn't go out, because Wang Jie also came.
The two entered Hengtai Zhai almost in tandem, why do they feel like they made an appointment?
Now Wang Jie has also been directly promoted to the second-rank official of the imperial court. Although he is in the Ministry of Punishment, he is quite powerful for all new Jinshi.
This person's limelight is not lost to He Shen.
Now that I run into my old lover Chen Xijia, I don't know what will happen?
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly became curious, with an expression of watching a show.
Wang Rulong was well informed and seemed to know everything, so he just sat inside and didn't go out.
This time was the least crowded, and Chen Xijia and Wang Jie went to the private seats next to each other.
I only heard Chen Xijia ask: "Why don't you sit down?"
Wang Jie said very bluntly: "Madam is a married person, it doesn't seem very good to be at the same table with the man next to her."
"..."
At this time, Chen Xijia seemed to be silent. She probably didn't expect Wang Jie to say such a sarcastic remark.
For a moment, he showed a somewhat sad expression.
After a long time, Chen Xijia finally said: "Anyway, there were so many friendships in the past, why are you so pressing?"
"Wang Jie ever tried to force Madam?" Wang Jie really wanted to laugh, looking at Chen Xijia's pretentious appearance, he really didn't understand what he liked about her back then, she was smart or gentle and pretty?I don't think it's any better...
What kind of friendship in the past? She was married before talking to him. It was nothing more than because he said at the court meeting this morning that Fukang'an bent the law for personal gain and had too close ties with other ministers in the court. Chen Xijia actually He came straight to the door.
Wang Jie no longer has the so-called "chilling heart", because his original heart of pure love for Chen Xijia had completely disappeared when Chen Xijia asked Feng Shuangzhi to go to Guangji Temple to reject him.Looking at Chen Xijia's various behaviors now, only the word "disgusting" can describe it.
Chen Xijia sighed and said, "You are still so stubborn..."
Wang Jie was holding back his sneer, but now he felt that this was a test of one's ability, and it was too difficult to restrain his sneer at Chen Xijia.
"I heard that the emperor wanted to give you a marriage and marry the princess to you, but you rejected it straight away, Wang Jie...don't go on like this, marry the princess as soon as possible, and you will be on your way to success... "Chen Xijia persuaded self-righteously.
This morning the emperor did say that he would give Wang Jie a marriage, but he was blocked by Wang Jie's simple sentence of "first the country and then the family".
Perhaps Chen Xijia felt good about himself, thinking that Wang Jie rejected Qianlong because of her?
Wang Jie didn't even bother to ridicule in his heart. He said that the original friendship was actually just for Fukang'an to intercede, but he said it was intercession, but he was a little vacillating, and he wanted to return to normal friends with Wang Jie directly. relationship up.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that Chen Xijia might have listened to his own words. She spoke for Fukang'an, and she seemed to want to win over Wang Jie. She might have believed what Feng Shuangzhi told her back then——Wang Jie still has old feelings for her, so she can win Wang Jie over by virtue of this feeling.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi is still too naive, Chen Xijia is more powerful than she imagined——
"I know you don't like Fukang'an. He broke the agreement between you and me that day. It's just a done deal. It's a foregone conclusion. I'm already his wife, and I'm one with him in honor and disgrace. If you really defeat Fukang'an today, you will make me a widow in the future..."
Chen Xijia said, her voice became low and low, there was no one in the private room, and she also blushed, even though Wang Jie stood far away, there was a feeling of ambiguity and entanglement in the room.
The mockery in Wang Jie's eyes was not seen by Chen Xijia who lowered his head.
Feng Shuangzhi in the next room suddenly laughed, she couldn't help but knocked the teacup on the table, Wang Rulong was also smiling, both of them understood the reason.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi knocked the teacup on the table just now, Chen Xijia, who was crying seriously, didn't hear it, but Wang Jie heard it, and knew that someone was there.
At that moment, Wang Jie said: "Madam said that there is something important to discuss, now it's a waste of time to say so many useless things..."
Chen Xijia forced a smile, his face was a little pale: "I know you don't want to see me because you still care about what happened back then. But I would still like to congratulate you. Now that you have been promoted, as long as you don't get stuck in the past, you will surely be able to rise higher and higher. ... Concubine, let's go now."
Chen Xijia's leaving back showed a bit of frailty, the maid was still outside, she didn't know what was going on inside, but she was a little suspicious, and she helped Chen Xijia go away with a flash of her eyes.
At this time, Wang Jie was the only one in the private room. Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Rulong who were listening to the corner of the wall understood it. After that, there was another sound of small footsteps. The next moment, the door of this room was pushed open. Wang Jie Standing outside with a cold face: "Are you satisfied with the corner between Mrs. He and Boss Wang?"
Both Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Rulong were a little embarrassed, and they stood up.
Wang Rulong said: "This matter really has nothing to do with us. Mr. Wang has been talking to Madam about gifts. I just don't know anything about what you know now."
Knowing that this person was trying to quibble, Wang Jie had no place to argue with them, so he only glanced at Feng Shuangzhi, then turned and left.
Feng Shuangzhi picked things up here slowly, and then went out with the maid's hand, but after walking not far, someone handed over a note, saying that it was a tall and thin If the master handed it over, he must hand it over to her.
Feng Shuangzhi unfolded the note and said, "Let's go to Juxian Building."
In the private room, Wang Jie made tea and waited for Feng Shuangzhi, there was a curtain between the front and back, so no one would gossip.
But this is a matter of conspiracy, and there is nothing gossip about it.
Feng Shuangzhi sat down and laughed: "I also have to congratulate Mr. Wang today, you are going to become famous."
"Without Madam's words at the beginning, it was like a blow to the head, how could there be Wang Jie today?" Wang Jie laughed, as if he didn't care much.
Feng Shuangzhi's lips curled up, and he said: "Your Excellency Wang is lucky if he doesn't remember that this concubine is a master who beats mandarin ducks."
Wang Jie didn't want to talk about the past, he just said: "Then Wang Rulong has several account books in his hand, and he is anxious about the situation of corruption and bribery in the salt government for many years, and now Fukang'an wants to get this account book."
Obtaining the account book is actually equivalent to holding the handle of the entire Jiangnan Salt Administration, following the vines, and being able to win over more people.An account book, in the hands of the right person, might have different power.
If it falls into Fukang'an's hands, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will become his.
Feng Shuangzhi looked at Wang Jie meaningfully: "Why did you tell me this?"
Wang Jie said: "Pay off the debt of favor early."
So Feng Shuangzhi finally laughed, and said: "It happens that I also want the account book. I heard that Wang Rulong has a good relationship with you, and I am very optimistic about you."
Wang Jie didn't speak.
Su Ling'a was also in a bad mood seeing her daughter come out to embarrass herself. After all, Su Ling'a didn't dare to offend Feng Shuangzhi at this time. The matter of letting Nalan come out to sing an opera a few days ago had already annoyed his wife. If the eldest daughter Yuan Lan married If you don't go out, you can't climb the high branches of Hefu, and things will explode.
Although I have always thought that the youngest daughter Nalan is the cute and smart, but looking around yesterday and Shen's attitude seems to have no feeling for her daughter at all.But... Maybe it's because you and your wife are too tight?
Now Su Ling'a is struggling, the main reason is that he doesn't know what He Shen is thinking, if he knows what He Shen means, even if he loses a Yuanlan, he will not hesitate.
Weeping, Nalan tugged at Su Ling'a's sleeve and said, "Ama, Ama, my daughter was really scared by my sister, she's so fierce..."
Su Ling'a just noticed the two slap marks on her face, and suddenly felt angry, "This is your sister who hit you? How dare she hit you?"
Now the father and daughter have almost left He Shen as a foreigner here, and now He Shen is no longer a foreigner, he is a spectator.
Su Ling'a is too confused to see it, but He Shen is a sensible person, and now he can tell that Nalan is cruel--slap yourself and others slap her, the position of the finger print is completely different .
If you slap yourself, the shorter thumbprint is on the underside of the face. If someone else slaps you, the direction of the hand is straight, so the thumbprint is on the top.
——Of course, the possibility that Miss Yuanlan in Su Ling'a's house is a strange person who twists her hands and slaps others is not ruled out.
Originally, the appearance of the beauty crying pear blossoms with rain must be endearing, at least it can make people think that her sister Yuan Lan is not a kind person, and she treats her sister like this—Nalan thinks she is If he succeeded, if he said it in front of He Shen, even if He Shen couldn't like him, he could at least feel bad for her sister.
Thinking about how Yuan Lan was about to discuss marriage with the Hefu, and now she actually beat her own sister, this didn't match Yuan Lan's gentle reputation at all, and it was hard to avoid making people think that her reputation was in vain.If He Shen doesn't like Yuan Lan anymore, what if Feng Shuangzhi likes Yuan Lan even more?He Shen has more say in the matter of this marriage, he is He Lin's elder brother after all.
Thinking of this, Nalan cried even more sadly. She has a delicate figure, although she is thirteen or fourteen years old, but she looks very charming, and she is also proficient in opera. Her voice and posture are quite soft, Just crying like this brought a bit of Xizi's melancholy.
Su Ling'a held back her anger, and only comforted her: "Don't cry, I have entertained Mr. He here, and I will come to tell you—Mr. He, this way please."
He didn't talk about Nalan's affairs for the time being, thinking in his heart that he would teach this ignorant daughter a good lesson, and also thought that He Shen should not be offended, so he should win over He Shen first, which is the most important thing.
He Shen responded with a smile, followed Su Ling'a's lead, and went to the hall to talk.
Su Ling'a wanted to invite He Shen to take the seat, He Shen thought it was funny, since this is also Su Ling'a's own home, if it's not He Shen's turn to sit in the main seat, then it would really be the guest of honor.
He Shen declined and just sat in the first seat on the left.
Su Ling'a was flattering He Shen, so she didn't dare to sit on it, and even sat on He Shen's starting position, and poured tea for He Shen: "It's impossible to imagine that something like this happened at home, as soon as you walk in Then I met, I am ignorant here."
Su Ling'a is from Manchuria Zhenghong Banner, so he is higher than He Shen's flag status, but now He Shen has a high official position, and the first rank of official position crushes people to death, Su Ling'a flatters He Shen in every possible way, Put yourself in a very low position.
"Your Majesty Su, you are polite. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. It doesn't hurt that the girls in the house have a little temper." He Shen directly characterized this matter as "the girls are making trouble." A little temper", the implication is don't let Su Ling'a make a big fuss.
Who knew that Su Ling'a bulged her eyes and thought about it for a long time, and felt that He Shen's tone seemed to be a bit warning, and she didn't hear He Shen's already very plain words at all, thinking that He Shen felt that Yuan Lan didn't like it. good.
He no longer liked Yuan Lan in his heart, and thought he had got what He Shen meant, so he hurriedly echoed, "What I told you is that the girl's family has such a petty temper. Yuan Lan has never been as caring as Nalan. Er Niang Died early, so no one educated..."
Where do parents say this about their children?He Shen is also a father now, even if he is a son, he still knows what kind of relationship it is to be a parent. He only hopes for the well-being of his children. This Su Ling is a fool, rushing to throw his daughter into the fire pit put.
He Shen only smiled, picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea, but it was the tip of Xinyang's hair, which floated in the green tea soup, looking extraordinarily clear. "This tea tastes good, and it tastes like it was made in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that you went to the top of the mountain?"
"Last year's tea came up, but this year's tea hasn't come up yet. I'll pay you a tribute when the new Mingqian tea comes up in January." Su Ling'a said flatteringly.
The best batch in Maojian is called "Paoshanjian". Among all the famous teas, the "Mingqian" tea is the best, and there is only a small amount every year. Basically, the tea that can be sent to the capital is in the In the mansions of princes and nobles, Qianlong had a big head, and they were all brought up as tributes. The rest were either rewarded by the emperor, or quietly paid by the people below.
If you want to get to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid you need a little skill.
Now this Su Ling'a casually said that it would be amazing to wait for this year's runner to come up to the top of the mountain and pick it up for him.
He Shen likes to drink tea, and Su Ling'a has investigated He Shen's preferences clearly. As the saying goes, it's what Su Ling'a does now.
He found out that He Shen likes to drink tea, so he prepared Mao Jian, and even contacted this year's mountain running, hoping that He Shen would think his filial piety was good.
Now that He Shen drank tea, he really thought it tasted good. After talking nonsense with Su Ling for a while, he was invited to the back of the hall, served good wine and food, and called out the opera singers in the mansion. At the back of the hall, there is a special performance for He Shen.
He Shen drank the wine indifferently, and when it was almost time, he was ready to start talking to Su Ling'a about business.
"Since we have already sat together today, the court is busy with affairs on weekdays, and there is no chance to connect with each other. Let's talk about it today." He Shen's simple opening remarks successfully caught Su Ling'a's attention , and then He Shen said, "I am He Lin's elder brother, Master Su must have heard that he and Miss Yuan Lan of your house are interested in each other..."
Su Ling'a heard half of it, and felt that this matter was not easy to handle. Is He Shen willing or not?
He thought of what happened to Nalan before, and felt that He Shen's attitude was even more strange.
He simply said: "Yuan Lan is an ignorant person, and she actually did something to her younger sister. It's because I didn't teach her well. If my lord and I feel that this marriage is inappropriate, there is no need to force it..."
He Shen smiled, turned the wine glass in his hand, and took only a sip. The glass didn't bottom out. He drank with restraint, and said: "I am He Lin's elder brother, and he is my younger brother. What does he like? What is good is good. The matter of marrying Lin is completely left to his sister-in-law, and He Lin can trust her, and my wife seems to like the eldest lady of your house. "
This is to remind Su Ling, don't offend Feng Shuangzhi.
After all, Feng Shuangzhi is holding on to his marriage with Lin at this time. Although it is not possible to say that He Lin will listen to Feng Shuangzhi everywhere, but if Feng Shuangzhi really has something unwilling, the marriage may be broken. .
Su Ling'a was covered in cold sweat, so what did Nalanna do before?
Probably annoyed He Shen?
Without thinking about it, he said, "It's not that Yuan Lan is ignorant. It's probably because Nalan has been wronged for the past two days, so she's in a bad mood, so she also made Yuan Lan angry. People have said since she was a child that Yuan Lan is a gentle person." Wan, if you don't dislike your younger brother with your lord..."
"I just came here for a drink with someone today. I will talk to my wife about it later." The words were never dead, He Shen pushed Tai Chi, and casually talked to Su Ling'a about his childhood with He Lin matter.
Su Ling'a complimented while listening, but few words were sincere.
He Shen was just looking for something to say casually, and while he was talking, he heard the sound of a vase shaking outside, then heard a meow, followed by a soft scream, and at the same time a pair of embroidered shoes shrank back from the door.
Su Ling'a suddenly sternly said: "Who is eavesdropping outside?!"
As soon as He Shen saw the embroidered shoes, he already guessed who it was, and Miss Nalan was really persistent.
Poor Nalan was just listening to He Shen's story, so he accidentally listened to it. Now that Su Ling'a yelled, the slaves guarding outside saw that it was his lady who was eavesdropping here. Some hesitated.
This Miss Nalan is very powerful, she calls people all day long, she is not as easy to get close to as the eldest lady, and there are not many people who like her, but now she is caught, but they dare not go up.
Over there, Su Ling'a didn't get a reply for a long time, so he felt weird, and shouted again: "Have you caught anyone yet?"
When he asked, Nalan walked in directly from the door, saluted, and said, "It's my daughter who is eavesdropping outside."
She still had scars on her face, but she wasn't crying at this time, she just felt smart and beautiful, but if it wasn't for the twinkle in her eyes, perhaps the illusion created by this would be more believable.
Su Lingah was really stunned. "I'm talking to adults, what are you doing eavesdropping outside?"
Nalan blushed and said, "I was just passing by at first, but I heard what Mr. and Mrs said was fascinating, so I listened without paying attention."
From another person's point of view, he must think this girl is cute and cute, but He Shen knows that he is just talking nonsense. He is not interested in telling these irrelevant outsiders what happened in his early years, so he thinks this girl is full of mouth. It's all a lie.
He Shen laughed, Su Ling'a seemed to think he was very happy.
Turning in his mind, he thought of Feng Shuangzhi again, and felt that Nalan had offended the couple, so he still wanted to get this relationship back, otherwise how would he get along with each other in the future?So Su Ling'a looked at He Shen and said, "My lord, it was Nalan who was ignorant in Juxian Tower that day, but she was young and made such a mistake today, I just hope you can forgive her I don't know what to do at a young age."
It's as if he and Shen want to care about this little girl, he is a person who will take revenge, but such a little girl-to be honest, he really doesn't pay attention to it.
Su Ling'a didn't notice what He Shen was thinking, so she called Nalan over and asked her to bring tea to He Shen to make amends.
He Shen said that there is no need to be so troublesome, the little girl did not provoke him or provoke him.
Su Ling said: "My lord, it's a polite thing to say. I know that no matter whether the matter between your brother and Yuan Lan can be resolved, our two families can't become enemies. It's still my youngest daughter who is smart, but I'm too young, and I'm looking at you to teach me a lesson. I'm thinking, why don't you recognize Nalan as your goddaughter, so that you can pay her back the etiquette she insists on treating you and her father in the future. I also respect you. From now on, this girl Treating you like you are treating your father will save your lady trouble."
In fact, the method that Su Ling'a came up with is quite perfect in normal times. After recognizing He Shen as Ama, Feng Shuangzhi's wariness can be dispelled no matter what, but he didn't expect it, but he almost touched He Shen's heart. bottom line.
He Shen originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Nalan seemed to be very angry at his own confusion, Ama Su Ling'a, the words came back to his throat, He Shen paused, and smiled: "My wife is a Awesome, I took your daughter as a daughter, it's not a big deal at all, but she will call my wife as a godmother in the future, and she will go back and ask my wife first .”
Next, Nalan almost subconsciously shouted "I don't want to", but Su Ling'a glared at Nalan at the right time, preventing her from saying all these words.
Nalan held his breath and didn't speak, and even stomped his feet and ran away.
Su Ling'a was so angry that she almost dropped her wine glass, but He Shen was still here and could only deal with it.
He Shen didn't expect the development of things to be so bizarre, but now Su Ling'a seems to understand how to treat her two daughters, if something happens again in the future, I can only say that Su Ling'a is a fool.
He Shen had almost eaten and drank the food and drinks here, and he had almost heard the play over there, so he got up and was about to leave, but just as he was about to go out from the front yard, he heard the excitement in front of him.
It even said that someone went to Su Ling's house to propose marriage.
He Shen froze for a moment, looked at Su Ling'a, and Su Ling'a quickly explained: "It must be that Guotai is here to make trouble, please rest assured, Mr. He, he wants to marry my youngest daughter, but my youngest daughter is only now At the age of thirteen or fourteen, when the marriageable age is reached, then Cathay will be a middle-aged man, and I will definitely not agree."
"I see." He Shen replied, and walked out without seeming to care.
When going out, Su Ling'a respectfully sent He Shen away, and the slaves over there stopped Cathay, who came to propose marriage, after Su Ling'a saw off He Shen, he walked back and said with a snort; "Because you want to marry me too Daughter? Dream your dreams!"
That Guotai is a man in his thirties, trembling with anger from Su Ling'a's voice at this moment, he pointed at him and said, "What are you talking about?! Why can't I marry your daughter? I'll come here to propose marriage , You old man swept me out last time, and now you dare to speak?!"
Su Ling'a snorted coldly: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, if you want to marry my daughter like this, go in your next life!"
Cathay was born in the Fucha family of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, but now Cathay is down and out. His father was Wenshou, the governor of Sichuan, but now Wenshou was convicted and sent to Xinjiang. Great, but there is no real shortage, and there is nothing to fish for.Su Ling'a is even worse than Cathay, she just thinks that her two daughters are beautiful and they are not worthy of someone like Cathay, so she is not polite at all.
Cathay was almost pissed off by this Su Ling, this is the so-called being bullied when one is unwilling.
He shouted: "You said that day, your little daughter, if I like to come to propose marriage, if you don't want to marry me, why would you say such a thing? My own daughter was brought up as a concubine and sent to others, I don’t want your old face! It’s thanks to the girl’s family that you are playing around like this, shameless old thing!”
This time it was Su Ling'a's turn to get angry, he jumped into a rage, and only cursed: "Good boy, good boy, why don't you beat this frivolous person out!"
The servants below naturally listen to the master.
If this matter got out, it might become someone else's gossip and become a laughing stock.
He Shen's sedan chair passed by slowly like this. He heard all this, and he had some thoughts.
After returning to the mansion, he asked Feng Shuangzhi, and said that he was not in the house, but in the study, so he went to the study, pushed the screen and lifted the curtain, and saw Feng Shuangzhi who was really sleeping on the desk.
She seemed to have just written something, and she was a little tired. The brush was placed in her hand, and her palm was already wet, and the ink was pure black. It made people wonder what happened to her when she was younger. Learned from the teacher.
He can fall asleep after writing anything, and He Shen is convinced by Feng Shuangzhi, but he didn't wake her up, but gently picked up some pages that were put aside. The planning of the above things...
The men in the mansion should be responsible for this matter, but there are still too few people in their mansion. After all, He Lin is going to start working in the court, and He Shen also wants to give He Lin a suitable position. Instead of telling He Lin about Zhuangzi's matters, Feng Shuangzhi took over.
He wanted to put his clothes on Feng Shuangzhi, but Feng Shuangzhi had already woken up, so he pressed the clothes on her body and said, "Go and rest when you are tired, this study is not the same. There is no place for you to sleep, why did you lie on the table?"
Feng Shuangzhi rubbed his eyes, and suddenly saw a piece of ink on his palm, and said, "I fell asleep while writing. Today at noon, the dumplings were noisy, and they refused to drink milk. I coaxed them for a long time. That's good, he's a troublemaker. I can write about Zhuangzi's affairs in a short time, so don't worry about me."
He Shen felt distressed, so he laughed at her: "You also know that I am worried about you, so don't suffer like this. You can promote some people to take care of Zhuangzi's affairs in a few days, and Liu Quan'er will be around."
Liu Quan'er is capable, but there are some things that the people below can't let go of, and they have to be cultivated slowly.
Who is credible and who can use it needs to be seen slowly.
Recently, some new houses and lands have been bought, and everyone needs to take care of them. Once things are back on track, Feng Shuangzhi doesn't have to be so busy.
She regained her energy after sleeping for a while, so she stood up and stretched, and He Shen just hugged her full, and said with a smile: "I went to Su Ling'a's house today and drank a pot of good tea. "
What he was thinking about was still the tea, running to the top of the mountain, even though it was from last year.
He Shen said again: "It's a pity you didn't go, this mansion is much richer than ours."
Feng Shuangzhi laughed at him: "You are envious of Su Ling'a, a small official. Anyway, you are also in the military aircraft department. You can be regarded as a military aircraft minister. If you are so blind, people will laugh at you someday."
"Hey, He Shen doesn't have a wife with vision. My husband wants to drink this good tea, I just hope that the good wife will work hard to make money for my husband, so that one day I can live a good life that I can drink and go to the top of the mountain. gone."
He Shen was only half joking, and Feng Shuangzhi was amused by this full of teasing tone.
Feng Shuangzhi said: "One year to clear the magistrate of the county, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. The people below have some skills, but you can't compare with them. Our family doesn't collect much, and most of them are harvested and managed by Zhuangzi. "
He Shen nodded, and suddenly said: "I went to Su Ling'a's house today, and I encountered a embarrassing thing. Guess what?"
"I can't guess, just tell me." Most likely it was Su Lingana's stupid words, right?But looking at He Shen's expression, why is it a little subtle?
Feng Shuangzhi never imagined that what He Shen said would be——
"That Su Ling, Ayang, I took Na Nalan as my goddaughter. I thought my family still had a jar of jealousy, so I didn't dare to agree. I came back and asked my wife for instructions, and I also asked my wife for instructions."
He Shen's tone was really indescribably funny.
Feng Shuangzhi was shocked by this sentence, "Daughter?"
It is also fortunate that Su Ling'a can say such a thing, although it is not uncommon for court officials with good relations to accept each other's goddaughters, and there are even some who directly treat their goddaughters as concubines. Didn't the goods also come up with this idea?In short, Feng Shuangzhi was extremely disgusted by the word "goddaughter".
As soon as she frowned, she wanted to say no, but at this moment she changed her mind and said: "Yuan Lan is going to marry He Lin, if we take Nalan as a goddaughter, what will happen to our seniority?" ?”
He Shen frowned, "Don't you really want to accept her as a goddaughter?"
Feng Shuangzhi wanted to laugh when he saw his expression as if facing a formidable enemy, and said, "Didn't you ask me to think about it?"
"Let me tell you, don't you take it seriously?" He Shenxin said that seniority is not a problem at all. The Manchurian Eight Banners' seniority is extremely chaotic, and the problem is the identity of a daughter.
He Shenman thought that Feng Shuangzhi would refuse, and didn't want Feng Shuangzhi to say: "The girl on the left and right is ambitious, I will pick a good day for her to come to the mansion with her sister, and then leave her alone, if you can get to know each other Of course it’s good, if you don’t know your face, get ready to strangle him to death, so as not to cause any trouble in the future.”
"..." He Shen suddenly felt like he was lifting a rock, "I really don't understand what you are thinking..."
Feng Shuangzhi said: "I am a person who can't see other people's comfort. If others make me uncomfortable, I will make him uncomfortable too. Let's see if this Nalan is a smart person."
Su Ling'a must be dealt with properly, if not handled well, trouble may arise, but Feng Shuangzhi is careful and careful about all the people who are related to the real history.Moreover, she wants to see what Yuanlan thinks, what she thinks of her younger sister...
In a few days, it was reported that Wang Jie, the number one scholar in the current department, had been promoted from the South Study Room to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. This meant that he had worked with Cathay Pacific.
Feng Shuangzhi had originally planned to invite sister Yuanlan Nalan to come, but he didn't want this incident to come up, so he had to prepare a congratulatory gift for He Shen first.
She was thinking about Wang Rulong, so she asked him if he had asked Wang Rulong. He Shen said that Wang Rulong had returned to Yangzhou two days ago, and she didn't know when he would come back.
There was no suitable gift in the warehouse, so Feng Shuangzhi took this opportunity to go out and buy some things. After entering Hengtai Zhai, he went in and asked if their boss was there. Originally, He Shen said he was not, but Feng Shuang didn't want to buy something today. By coincidence, Wang Rulong came back two days after he left, and when he came in, he heard Feng Shuangzhi asking about his whereabouts, so he went forward to apologize.
Feng Shuangzhi already knew that Wang Rulong was not a simple person, so he didn't dare to underestimate him at this moment, and after a few words with him, he said that he wanted to choose a gift.
We all went to Hengtai Zhai to pick out gifts, so we knew that we must want something unique and outstanding.
Wang Rulong knew how to do business, so he led Feng Shuangzhi to sit in the back room, and the good things were laid out slowly one by one. He called someone to pick up the things, and poured tea for Feng Shuangzhi.
Feng Shuangzhi could smell the fragrance when he was pouring out the tea, and suddenly remembered the sip of Heshen's good tea, and said, "I don't know when this year's Mingqian tea will be available, but it's very interesting." It’s tight, you have to get a box to drink.”
Wang Rulong laughed when he heard this: "This ordinary tea can be put in the salt ship, but Mingqian Tea dare not do that, but if you really want to drink it, I can get it for you here, Madam is mine As a regular customer, this tea is my tribute to you. The tea here comes earlier than the tea from the palace."
"Speaking of which, I've heard that things about water transport are not going well recently." Feng Shuangzhi said something pointedly.
Wang Rulong's eyes flashed, he touched his chins, and said: "The boss is gone, there must be chaos for a while, but who knows when it won't appear again?"
"Boss Wang must know something, right?" Feng Shuangzhi smiled, and looked at the smiling Wang Rulong, "If you have any news, why not share it, anyway, I am also your regular customer."
Wang Rulong just smiled, "Actually, the matter is not as serious as you think. You came to ask me today to test whether I know the news from Jiangnan. I have no doubts. I can only tell you that Lian Shuangcheng is a fateful and ambitious man. When the Cao Gang fought, he failed to die with eight arrows in his body, and even gave up the Jiangnan genius doctor. I came back from the gate of hell again... Well, let's wait and see anyway..."
In fact, Wang Rulong has already set up a line with Lian Shuangcheng, and now he holds the ledger of the Jiangnan Salt Administration in his hand. If he is dead or someone else kills him, he won't get any benefits, and now the people who chased him have been withdrawn long ago.
Hearing Wang Rulong's words confirmed Feng Shuangzhi's own guess. She didn't ask any more questions, but just waited for Wang Rulong to take out the things, picked them out and went back home. Then, I heard someone talking outside, as if a distinguished guest had come.
"Ma'am, what's so good about coming to Hengtai Zhai? Don't the things in our house need to be a million times better here? Even if it's a gift..."
"If you want to talk too much here, be careful that I will be torn apart by you later."
"...I know I was wrong..."
This voice is so familiar.
Feng Shuangzhi recognized it immediately, this is...Chen Xijia?
She wanted to put the teacup away and go out to say hello, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she sat down.
The next moment, Feng Shuangzhi was glad that he didn't go out, because Wang Jie also came.
The two entered Hengtai Zhai almost in tandem, why do they feel like they made an appointment?
Now Wang Jie has also been directly promoted to the second-rank official of the imperial court. Although he is in the Ministry of Punishment, he is quite powerful for all new Jinshi.
This person's limelight is not lost to He Shen.
Now that I run into my old lover Chen Xijia, I don't know what will happen?
Feng Shuangzhi suddenly became curious, with an expression of watching a show.
Wang Rulong was well informed and seemed to know everything, so he just sat inside and didn't go out.
This time was the least crowded, and Chen Xijia and Wang Jie went to the private seats next to each other.
I only heard Chen Xijia ask: "Why don't you sit down?"
Wang Jie said very bluntly: "Madam is a married person, it doesn't seem very good to be at the same table with the man next to her."
"..."
At this time, Chen Xijia seemed to be silent. She probably didn't expect Wang Jie to say such a sarcastic remark.
For a moment, he showed a somewhat sad expression.
After a long time, Chen Xijia finally said: "Anyway, there were so many friendships in the past, why are you so pressing?"
"Wang Jie ever tried to force Madam?" Wang Jie really wanted to laugh, looking at Chen Xijia's pretentious appearance, he really didn't understand what he liked about her back then, she was smart or gentle and pretty?I don't think it's any better...
What kind of friendship in the past? She was married before talking to him. It was nothing more than because he said at the court meeting this morning that Fukang'an bent the law for personal gain and had too close ties with other ministers in the court. Chen Xijia actually He came straight to the door.
Wang Jie no longer has the so-called "chilling heart", because his original heart of pure love for Chen Xijia had completely disappeared when Chen Xijia asked Feng Shuangzhi to go to Guangji Temple to reject him.Looking at Chen Xijia's various behaviors now, only the word "disgusting" can describe it.
Chen Xijia sighed and said, "You are still so stubborn..."
Wang Jie was holding back his sneer, but now he felt that this was a test of one's ability, and it was too difficult to restrain his sneer at Chen Xijia.
"I heard that the emperor wanted to give you a marriage and marry the princess to you, but you rejected it straight away, Wang Jie...don't go on like this, marry the princess as soon as possible, and you will be on your way to success... "Chen Xijia persuaded self-righteously.
This morning the emperor did say that he would give Wang Jie a marriage, but he was blocked by Wang Jie's simple sentence of "first the country and then the family".
Perhaps Chen Xijia felt good about himself, thinking that Wang Jie rejected Qianlong because of her?
Wang Jie didn't even bother to ridicule in his heart. He said that the original friendship was actually just for Fukang'an to intercede, but he said it was intercession, but he was a little vacillating, and he wanted to return to normal friends with Wang Jie directly. relationship up.
Feng Shuangzhi said in his heart that Chen Xijia might have listened to his own words. She spoke for Fukang'an, and she seemed to want to win over Wang Jie. She might have believed what Feng Shuangzhi told her back then——Wang Jie still has old feelings for her, so she can win Wang Jie over by virtue of this feeling.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi is still too naive, Chen Xijia is more powerful than she imagined——
"I know you don't like Fukang'an. He broke the agreement between you and me that day. It's just a done deal. It's a foregone conclusion. I'm already his wife, and I'm one with him in honor and disgrace. If you really defeat Fukang'an today, you will make me a widow in the future..."
Chen Xijia said, her voice became low and low, there was no one in the private room, and she also blushed, even though Wang Jie stood far away, there was a feeling of ambiguity and entanglement in the room.
The mockery in Wang Jie's eyes was not seen by Chen Xijia who lowered his head.
Feng Shuangzhi in the next room suddenly laughed, she couldn't help but knocked the teacup on the table, Wang Rulong was also smiling, both of them understood the reason.
It's just that Feng Shuangzhi knocked the teacup on the table just now, Chen Xijia, who was crying seriously, didn't hear it, but Wang Jie heard it, and knew that someone was there.
At that moment, Wang Jie said: "Madam said that there is something important to discuss, now it's a waste of time to say so many useless things..."
Chen Xijia forced a smile, his face was a little pale: "I know you don't want to see me because you still care about what happened back then. But I would still like to congratulate you. Now that you have been promoted, as long as you don't get stuck in the past, you will surely be able to rise higher and higher. ... Concubine, let's go now."
Chen Xijia's leaving back showed a bit of frailty, the maid was still outside, she didn't know what was going on inside, but she was a little suspicious, and she helped Chen Xijia go away with a flash of her eyes.
At this time, Wang Jie was the only one in the private room. Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Rulong who were listening to the corner of the wall understood it. After that, there was another sound of small footsteps. The next moment, the door of this room was pushed open. Wang Jie Standing outside with a cold face: "Are you satisfied with the corner between Mrs. He and Boss Wang?"
Both Feng Shuangzhi and Wang Rulong were a little embarrassed, and they stood up.
Wang Rulong said: "This matter really has nothing to do with us. Mr. Wang has been talking to Madam about gifts. I just don't know anything about what you know now."
Knowing that this person was trying to quibble, Wang Jie had no place to argue with them, so he only glanced at Feng Shuangzhi, then turned and left.
Feng Shuangzhi picked things up here slowly, and then went out with the maid's hand, but after walking not far, someone handed over a note, saying that it was a tall and thin If the master handed it over, he must hand it over to her.
Feng Shuangzhi unfolded the note and said, "Let's go to Juxian Building."
In the private room, Wang Jie made tea and waited for Feng Shuangzhi, there was a curtain between the front and back, so no one would gossip.
But this is a matter of conspiracy, and there is nothing gossip about it.
Feng Shuangzhi sat down and laughed: "I also have to congratulate Mr. Wang today, you are going to become famous."
"Without Madam's words at the beginning, it was like a blow to the head, how could there be Wang Jie today?" Wang Jie laughed, as if he didn't care much.
Feng Shuangzhi's lips curled up, and he said: "Your Excellency Wang is lucky if he doesn't remember that this concubine is a master who beats mandarin ducks."
Wang Jie didn't want to talk about the past, he just said: "Then Wang Rulong has several account books in his hand, and he is anxious about the situation of corruption and bribery in the salt government for many years, and now Fukang'an wants to get this account book."
Obtaining the account book is actually equivalent to holding the handle of the entire Jiangnan Salt Administration, following the vines, and being able to win over more people.An account book, in the hands of the right person, might have different power.
If it falls into Fukang'an's hands, the entire Jiangnan officialdom will become his.
Feng Shuangzhi looked at Wang Jie meaningfully: "Why did you tell me this?"
Wang Jie said: "Pay off the debt of favor early."
So Feng Shuangzhi finally laughed, and said: "It happens that I also want the account book. I heard that Wang Rulong has a good relationship with you, and I am very optimistic about you."
Wang Jie didn't speak.
