Heshen is a strict wife

Feng Shuangzhi received an urgent letter from Wang Rulong, a salt merchant in Yangzhou.

It's just the content of the letter that made Feng Shuangzhi feel a little chilly.

This Wang Rulong is really smart, he missed such a big thing in a moment of confusion.

Sitting on the armchair, Feng Shuangzhi pressed his forehead, his eyes darkened, "Where's Zhou Qu?"

Wei Mian saw Feng Shuangzhi's expression of hesitation, although she didn't know what happened, she also guessed that it must be something bad, so she said cautiously: "I just went out to deal with Zhuangzi's affairs, I said it will be a while come back."

Seeing that it is already winter, and the charcoal is burning in the house, it is a bit less chilly.

Before Zhou Qu came back, Feng Shuangzhi thought about this matter, and finally decided that it was probably not a big deal.She looked up and saw Zhou Qu coming in, a few flakes of snow fell on the ermine fur on the sleeve, she wondered, "Is it snowing outside?"

"Exactly, the snow fell relatively late this year." Zhou Qu smiled, "There is a drought this year, and the autumn harvest is not very good, but the melons, fruits and wild animals are quite plentiful, Madam can rest assured. By the way, it belongs to the Lord. The boat is about to arrive at the pier, and I'm afraid it will be back this afternoon."

He Shen is coming back.

Feng Shuangzhi smiled, and asked: "You know the situation in the south of the Yangtze River best, so please tell me what you know. You have been dealing with Zhuangzi's affairs before you came back, and I never asked you clearly. I received a letter from Wang Rulong before..."

Needless to say the content of the letter, there is no need to tell Zhou Qu too much about Feng Shuangzhi.

Seeing Wei Mian's face, Zhou Qu knew that something might have happened.

Now that Feng Shuangzhi listened to Zhou Qu's report on the Jiangnan incident, he didn't think there was anything unusual about it. It was just the incidents between He Shen and the Yangzhou officialdom, especially those people who made false accusations against Wang Jie in the end. It's like deliberately trying to force out the account book matter-once the account book matter is exposed, among other things, after the big change in Jiangnan's officialdom, all the original people have been replaced and disappeared, and He Shen will have the opportunity to operate in it.This seems to be good, but I don't know what He Shen's original purpose is.

Was the account book incident accidental, or did He Shen do it on purpose?Does He Shen know that the ledger is in his hands?

The more he thought about it, the more entangled he became, Feng Shuangzhi turned around and felt stupid again - why should he care about such a thing?

Feng Shuangzhi thought for a while, and he still wanted Zhou Tian to leave, "It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, so you should go and deal with your own affairs, as Zhuangzi's business is over, you may also go back to your hometown in Tianjin to celebrate the New Year. If Appropriate, you can also bring your parents to Beijing in the coming year, the house can't accommodate, Zhuangzi can always live there, it's not a good thing to be separated all the year round."

Zhou Qu lowered his head, a little touched, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, Zhou Qu will go home to celebrate the New Year after he has settled the affairs of Zhuangzi."

"Yeah." Feng Shuangzhi nodded, seeing Zhou Qu retreated, and then looked back at Wei Mian, "What's going on with you and Liu Quan'er lately?"

Although Liu Quan'er looks ordinary, he may not be suitable for Wei Mian, but Wei Mian is not like the person who judges others by his appearance. He and Liu Quan'er were on good terms before, but recently the atmosphere is weird, and Liu Quan'er seems to be fine Just like everyone else.

Feng Shuangzhi couldn't understand these two people.

Wei Mian whispered: "It's okay."

But as soon as the words came out, the eye sockets turned red.

Feng Shuangzhi didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so he asked her with a frown, asking her to tell the truth.

Wei Mian then said: "Liu Quan'er and Numai are exactly what Madam thinks, but when I asked Liu Quan'er if he would marry me, he hesitated and refused to say, Numaid, Numai—"

Halfway through the brief speech, she began to cry again.

Feng Shuangzhi said: "Didn't you guys be fine before? What happened recently? Liu Quan'er didn't want to?"

"How does this servant know, and he won't tell me when I ask him, anyway, this servant hasn't seen anyone much lately." Feng Shuangzhi was pushing the matter with Liu Quan'er, now that she is suddenly in a predicament, Wei Mian also feels frustrated "Although he doesn't look good, I know he has a good heart. I've been with my master for so many years, and I don't have many mistakes. I guess he is a sensible person. I'm afraid he has always understood, but he will be confused when he comes to the servant. "

"It's so sleepy, don't cry, you go down and rest, there is Mei Xiang serving you here, don't be too anxious about this matter, there is always a solution, I will ask Liu Quan'er later, you can relax mind."

Although Wei Mian came to serve Feng Shuangzhi later, she was considered the most capable one. After Xitao got married, Wei Mian became the leader of the group of maids around her, and she handled everything first-class. Okay, how did you come across this?

Feng Shuangzhi could only comfort her, and when Wei Mian left, he went to ask someone to ask Liu Quan'er, and said that the carriages and horses were ready to pick up Heshen.

Since He Shen came back in the afternoon, he might not be able to see the emperor until tomorrow morning, and he would be able to wash away the dust for a while when he came back. Feng Shuangzhi also ordered people to prepare.

Heshen’s boat came back at sunset, and Yonggui and Wang Jie were on the same journey with Heshen, but Yonggui was old and exhausted all the way, he really lost weight, and was picked up by his family when he got off the boat After leaving, He Shen had to slow down. Liu Quan'er had already picked up people at the pier. When he saw He Shen coming back, he immediately went up to meet him. Seeing that Wang Jie was also there, he called Qian'er to ask the two of them. OK.

He Shen smiled and said, "You came quickly."

Liu Quaner's face was full of joy: "Master, you have been away from the capital for so long, you should have come back long ago, everyone in the house knows that you are coming back, aren't you happy?"

He Shen shook his head and said nothing, but turned around and asked Wang Jie, "Master Wang, why don't you take a ride?"

Wang Jie looked at the luxurious carriage in Hefu, but he flicked his sleeves, "I can't afford it."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Jiangnan and his party, after the change of blood in the officialdom, He Shen did a lot of operations here. During that time, how many people came and went in and out of Hefu's foothold. Wang Jie didn't hear it at first, or didn't notice it, but it didn't mean he I really don't know anything, and I have seen a lot of clues along the way.He Shen is a man of means, and now that Feng Shuangzhi's account book has been handed over, it is also forced by the situation, and he has no complaints.

But for He Shen, Wang Jie is determined to draw a line with this person.

At the moment, only Wang Jie's thin back was seen, and he quickly went out from the pier, blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Liu Quan'er wondered, "Why does Lord Wang look like someone owes him hundreds of taels of silver?"

"..." He Shen lightly kicked Liu Quan'er and said with a smile, "You don't care what he does, let's go."

Liu Quan'er patted his head, laughed a few times, and then opened the car curtain for He Shen: "Master, you go."

He Shen returned to the mansion, and Feng Shuangzhi also prepared the food and drink to cleanse the dust, so he asked He Shen to take a good rest and take a bath, and then set up a banquet. The whole mansion was full of joy, and this was He Shen's first business trip. After such a long time, and having done such a big thing, it is certain that he will be promoted to an official position.

It's just that the atmosphere between He Shen and Feng Shuangzhi is very strange. Feng Shuangzhi knew it the first time he saw He Shen's expression, and didn't say much. The wine was placed in front of him, and he said: "What's the matter, sir, please ask after you finish eating."

Holding the wine glass, He Shen drank it in one gulp, and his heart began to feel blocked again.

All the dishes on the table are his favorites, and he has thought about them over and over again in Jiangnan. He Shen often thinks about the mansion, but when he really comes back, he feels uncomfortable for some reason. Woke up, only because of Feng Shuangzhi's lukewarm attitude, his strange words and deeds.

Block, block, block, block panic.

He Shen didn't eat much, put down his wine glass, and said bluntly: "I brought a lot of things from Jiangnan, I will deal with them tonight, and present them to the emperor tomorrow morning."

"En. Don't stay too busy." Feng Shuangzhi had only this one sentence, then he saw He Shen put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and then went to the study.

The maids in Feng Shuangzhi's room didn't understand what was going on, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What are you looking at, my master is making a fuss."

Feng Shuangzhi laughed for some reason, she asked the servant girl to make up the bed, and lay down after a while.Before going to bed, Feng Shuangzhi said: "Go and prepare some snacks for the master, and let Liu Quan'er bring them over. The master didn't eat much just now, so he must be feeling resentful."

"Why do you have to worry about this?" Mei Xiang didn't understand.

Feng Shuangzhi said lazily, with a smile on the corner of his lips, things were not as bad as she thought - he was going to snicker at this time.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Do what you want, and don't go back to the house to rest today. You should go to bed earlier."

Mei Xiang and Wei Mian looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on with the husband and wife, they put down the bed curtain, blew out the lights in the room, and left.

Feng Shuangzhi laughed in the darkness and fell asleep.

He Shen was more irrational than he imagined. After all, the two couples always had something that they couldn't finish talking about. She had a good relationship with Wang Rulong, but He Shen knew about it from the beginning.She agreed to Wang Rulong's matter and couldn't talk about it. Wang Jie was also involved in it.

When a young couple lives their lives, where is there a time when they don't tie the knot?Just grind it for a while.

Feng Shuangzhi slept soundly this time, but He Shen couldn't calm down in the study.

He did bring back a lot of information that needs to be compiled. He has already done it on the way, but tomorrow will be a final battle when he goes to court, and the previous preparations have been done. That's really embarrassing.

He Shen picked up his pen and sketched, not thinking about Feng Shuangzhi's matter, he also knew that this matter would pass, and he was still waiting for Feng Shuangzhi to explain to himself-it will be fine after a while.

Thinking about it, he wrote a word, but just started to write and found that the word was wrong, and inexplicably wrote the word "雨". Come in.

"Grandpa, would you like something to eat?"

He Shen glanced at him, "Who brought it?"

Liu Quan'er chuckled: "Didn't the maid on Madam's side tell me this?"

Oh, that's what Feng Shuangzhi meant.

He Shen looked at this plate of dim sum, and felt that he had stopped all thoughts just now, and suddenly became a little annoyed, and said cruelly: "Let's go and go."

Liu Quan'er bumped into a nail inexplicably and was taken aback, but she didn't dare not listen to He Shen, so she shrank her neck and went out with her things.

Seeing that Liu Quan'er had gone out, He Shen regained his composure. He read the notes he had written on the way, and fearing that there might be some problems, he dug them out, read them, and copied them again. Seeing that they were finished, he reached out When the tea was served, I felt hungry again, and was speechless for a moment. When I touched the tea, it was cold, and called out: "Liu Quan'er, tea!"

Liu Quan'er had been listening to orders outside, leaning against the doorpost to take a nap, and immediately brought a teapot in and replaced it with a cup of hot water. Just as he was thinking about why his master was so angry, he suddenly listened to Shen asked, "Where's the dim sum?"

"Didn't you let Duan leave?" Liu Quan'er replied subconsciously, and knew it was bad after speaking.

Sure enough, He Shen turned cold: "I told you to take it away, did you really take it away? Bring it back."

"..." Liu Quan'er held back for a long time. He Shen is the master and he is a slave, so he can only bring the snack back. He took a peek at He Shen and said, "Master, there is something wrong with you."

He Shen picked up a piece of the finely crafted jujube paste yam cake, snorted, and said, "Your master is very right, you can go and rest, and call me in a while."

"Yes." Liu Quan'er responded, and then withdrew.

After eating half a plate of snacks, He Shen was not hungry anymore, so he lay down on the couch behind the study and slept for a while, and within two hours, he woke up by himself, it was time to go to court.

Seeing that he was about to leave the house, He Shen didn't hold back, and asked, "How was Madam last night?"

Liu Quan'er now also guessed that the two were having a conflict, and stammered: "Madam went to bed early last night, and she hasn't woken up yet."

He Shen almost couldn't hold his breath, well, his heart was blocked again early in the morning.

Even today's court, He Shen's anger has not been suppressed.

When Fukang'an wants to interfere with his affairs in Jiangnan, He Shen already has all the affairs there, and he doesn't know what to do. Now Fukang'an is going to intervene and grab Heshen Vested interests, can this be tolerated?In addition to being in a bad mood, He Shen scolded Fu Kang'an for a while, to the effect that he was satirizing Fu Kang'an overtly and secretly. Jiang Nan has held positions before, and he doesn't know much about Jiang Nan's affairs, so it's not appropriate for him to intervene.

Fukang'an didn't dare to refute him. If he refuted, it would mean that he didn't know the seriousness—his previous position didn't involve Jiangnan at all, and now he doesn't dare to say that he knows Jiangnan very well. Well, how did he know?This just fell into He Shen's plan - Fukang'an was caught in a dilemma by He Shen on the spot. He could neither say that he knew Jiangnan very well, but he was reluctant to let go of the interests of a large area in Jiangnan.

Fukang'an was so angry with what He Shen said. After he came down to court, Fu Kang'an said that He Shen had eaten gunpowder. Can Shen eat it by himself?If it is not distinguished, it is the target of public criticism.

Fu Kang'an knew that Feng Shuangzhi didn't show him when he handed in the account book a while ago, because he was thinking that they had a friendship before. Feng Shuangzhi's principle is "don't make an example", this time he was lucky and didn't hit the gun In my mouth, it may not be the case next time.

Anyway, this trip made Fukang'an feel so bad, Chen Hongmou was completely down this time, and Fukang'an couldn't save him, thinking that he would see Chen Xijia's resentful face when he returned home, Fukang'an suddenly said : "I'm not going back to the house, I'm going to Juxian Building."

"Hey." When the servant who carried the sedan chair heard Fu Kang'an's angry tone, he didn't dare to say anything, and directly carried the sedan chair to Juxian Tower.

Fukang'an strode in, his body was full of anger, but his face was cold. He didn't expect to see He Shen coming up from the other side just as he went up.

He Shen raised his eyes to see him, smiled gently, and gave him a fist: "Master Fu, there is fate."

"...It's strange that Mr. and He didn't go back to the house." Fu Kang'an just said a casual sarcasm, but He Shen's expression changed slightly unexpectedly.

These two people have always talked nonchalantly, but today I don’t know why, after talking for a while, Wang Jie and Liu Yong also came up, seeing these two benefactors, Ji Xiaolan laughed at once Now, hurry up to pull Fukang'an and He Shen: "It's rare to meet two adults today, you two are old rich, Mr. Liu, grab them quickly and let's have a drink at a table today. There is money for food and drinks."

Liu Yong is also a loser. How can a poor official compare to these two?

Immediately Liu Yong twisted his beard and smiled and said, "Meeting in Juxian Building is considered fate, and I hope you two don't mind, Mr. He and Mr. Fu. I will reward the next old face. Let's have a table together?"

Liu Yong is a veteran minister, and He Shen and Fu Kang'an didn't dare to touch his face. The two of them were resentful, and they sat down with this group of Qingliu officials to have a drink.

He Shen was holding back the whole game, the poor officials knew that He Shen and Fu Kang'an must have paid for this time, ordered a big table, and Ji Xiaolan made a show that he had never eaten in his life With the appearance of so many good things, the words also secretly satirized Fu Kang'an and He Shen.It's just that Fukang'an was thinking about the bad things at home, and He Shen was thinking about how long he and Feng Shuangzhi would continue to quarrel, so he gave himself some time, and if this quarrel lasted for a day or two, the knot would go away. Now, the most important thing is that the bed in the study is not comfortable, and I feel uncomfortable when I fall asleep, and the room is not as warm...

Ugh.

He Shen served the wine, so he wanted to have a drink by himself, Fukang'an also made a decision at this time, if Chen Xijia made trouble again, he would not stay.

The two of them picked it up at the same time, they were both unlucky ghosts, even though they were political enemies in the past, they didn't know why they got together at this moment, so they clinked glasses and it was considered a toast.

The bustle in Juxian Building, the boss was so happy from ear to ear, when it was time to check out, He Shen and Fu Kang'an paid half of it.

On the way back, Liu Quan'er kept scolding Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan for being black-hearted, He Shen pressed his temple, saw that it was snowing again, and said, "Didn't you see that Wang Jie has been sitting on the side and not talking? This group of upright officials are just acting on occasion, they can do whatever they want to us in the court, but Ji Xiaolan has a big mouth, and the emperor will find out tomorrow."

Ji Xiaolan is the emperor's imperial poet, although he has never had a big official position, but the emperor can't help but like him.

Now that Wang Jie has been promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, this is a real shortage. Judging from the emperor's intentions, it seems that Wang Jie will be assigned to the Ministry of Officials in the near future. The speed of this person's promotion is actually faster than him.

Thinking of the account book, the emperor summoned them alone after the early court to ask, and before leaving, he praised Wang Jie, saying that Wang Jie was very clever, but He Shen sneered.

Now on the way back to the mansion, He Shen thought it was better to finish the last little thing left on the Jiangnan side first.

As for Feng Shuangzhi, I heard that He Shen had met Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan in Juxian Tower. Mei Xiang smiled and said, "Why are these adults acting like freeloaders?" Feng Shuangzhi shook his head. , said: "Don't underestimate this Liu Yong, he is very powerful."

It was useless to tell Mei Xiang and the others, Feng Shuangzhi had to enter the palace in the afternoon, and she had already missed it with He Shen when she went out.

I don't know what happened in the palace. The concubine Ling's foot restraint was serious enough, but the emperor suddenly ordered her to move to a palace farther away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The Queen Mother's body could not drag her It's winter, and Feng Shuangzhi was told that he doesn't have to enter the palace for a while.

But before leaving, she still received an invitation from Concubine Dun, saying that there was a banquet in the palace this year, and she still wanted to invite some people, so she gave it to Feng Shuangzhi.

She came back with the invitation, and He Shen was in the study again, she sighed.

When I got up the next day, I heard that the news spread in the capital, saying that the sweet days of Mrs. He and Mrs. He were finally over, and the girls in the capital were looking forward to it again.

When Feng Shuangzhi heard this, he suddenly smiled: "I don't look like an old man, do I?"

Mei Xiang curled her lips, twitched Feng Shuangzhi's hair, and snorted, "It's Sun Shiyi, Li Shiyao, who wants to give his concubine to our master, and doesn't care what they are..."

"Sun Shiyi, Li Shiyao?" These two fools recently wanted to get a piece of the pie from Heshen, and wanted Heshen to set aside the interests of Jiangnan. It's a pity that Heshen is not such a fool. Row out casually?

Feng Shuangzhi put down the comb, and curled his lips: "Don't worry about me recently, he still has to be angry for a while, and he has been messing around in the south of the Yangtze River for a while. We will be good to each other for a while. If you don't enter the palace recently, life will be a little bit It's boring, it's not bad to have a few people come to tease me."

Mei Xiang and Wei Mian broke out in cold sweat together, always feeling that in two days the capital will be filled with blood and blood.
