Heshen is a strict wife

This year Feng Lin took part in the provincial examination, and it is said that the answer paper was very good, He Shen did not intervene, it all depends on Feng Lin's real ability.

The old man Ying Lian was very happy when he heard about it, Xi Yu said that now he is in charge of the family affairs, even though he is an aunt, he is also happy.Although she can't be a housewife, she is Feng Lin's biological mother after all, and she will not treat her badly in the future.After all, mothers in the world look after their sons well.

After Feng Shuangzhi heard about this incident, he sent people in the mansion to send some supplements and a few sets of precious Four Treasures of the Study, which can be regarded as a way of expressing his heart.

"Ma'am, the old lady said that you don't want to interfere with the Fourth Young Master's affairs, just let him work hard on his own." This is what Lan Xin brought back.

Feng Shuangzhi also smiled when he heard that, seeing that He Shen was still studying for Tuanzi in the back room, he just waved his hand to let the maids go down.

Now the new Hefu has almost been built, a large artificial lake has been opened, and a water pavilion has been set up by the lake. This summer, I only hide in the water pavilion. Now the cool breeze on the lake is refreshing There is a lot of spirit in people.

When she walked in, she saw that Tuanzi looked drowsy. There was a tuanzi fan and a folding fan beside the table, which were only placed together. This one belonged to He Shen, and the other belonged to Feng Shuangzhi.

"Don't read it, he is still young, how can he understand it."

"It's always good to listen more." He Shen put down the dumpling, and saw the little guy's round face, which was pink and tender, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "When he grows up, he must also be a romantic, maybe he can still look seven times as good as me."

This tone of voice doesn't sound like an Ama, it's clearly as if he wants to demote the dumpling into worthless.

Feng Shuangzhi spat at him softly, "Where is someone who says that about your son, you are not ashamed!"

He Shen embraced her waist, saw that she was wearing a lake-blue Suzhou embroidered cheongsam, she was very slender, he only pinched her with both hands, and said: "Yungui, a wild place, I came back from that sparsely populated place, Now, when you talk about your own son, you still have to be scolded by your wife, really sad."

Is there any connection between these words?

Feng Shuangzhi couldn't help laughing, but lowered his voice: "By the way, you go to Yunnan and Guizhou, how is the investigation on Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi going?"

"These two also had a little feud with Fukang'an. At the beginning, Fukang'an and Li Shiyao were together. At that time, Fukang'an hadn't made a fortune yet. But you know, for a while, in Fukang'an, they got together with that unlucky ghost company. At the time of Shuangcheng, they had already begun to go deep into the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River. There was a little friction between them. After all, Jiangnan is a place rich in oil and water, and many people covet it. Fukang'an is not a good match for his subordinates to share a piece of the pie, so there is a conflict between the two parties."

As soon as He Shen said it, he revealed a secret that Feng Shuangzhi didn't know before, and he said: "Fu Kang'an is also a ruthless person. Haining collected the evidence of Sun and Li for me, and I found out After returning to the palace, I reported it to the higher authorities, and Fukang'an followed me to make trouble. I was a little surprised at first, but I didn't expect... huh."

This last word is quite meaningful.

Feng Shuangzhi heard his laughter, but didn't know how the palace replied, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

He Shen's eyes were as black as lacquer, he only held Feng Shuangzhi in his arms, squinted his eyes, and curled his lips, with a lazy look and a lazy voice, as if he was sunbaked outside in the summer The listless weeping willow.

"The emperor lightly punished Sun and Li for the sake of their loyal service. It's just relegation. I'm afraid it won't be long before they can make a comeback."

"... Is the emperor confused?" Feng Shuangzhi frowned, saying such rebellious words may be earth-shattering to others, but to Feng Shuangzhi, it is actually not a big deal.

He Shen said: "Not only is he confused, he is old. He is old..."

Being an emperor for too long, too stable, a flourishing age has reached the later stage, and it is always going to decay.

"Lord Kangxi has been emperor for nearly 60 years. From the prosperous age to a period of deficit, greed for ink has become common." He Shen is familiar with the collection of classics and history, and now he talks about it as if he just picked it up casually. There is irony in his words, "When Yongzheng When Mr. Kangxi was in power, he tried to get rid of the ills throughout the 13 years of his reign, but it is a pity... Now that we are now, everything has returned to the level of Mr. Kangxi. Mr. Kangxi is the holy ancestor, but this one is different. "

The emperor who has lost his vigor has been stable for too long.

He Shen didn't know what to do. Although he was used to fighting, he had an unspeakable disgust for the current environment where he couldn't fight.

Originally thought that Yongyan would have a chance after he came to power, but Qianlong still controlled the government. After all, he is the emperor. Now he is just sick. If he recovers, he will take back all the power. How far can he go? , really no one knows.

He Shen is not the only one who is depressed now, Fukang'an also knows that he has miscalculated.

Qianlong's heart was bigger than they imagined.

Being an emperor for decades is still not enough, a dragon chair, I am afraid that I dare not give it to others until I die.

Now that Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao are alive, it is like a thorn in their throats. It is rare for He Shen and Fu Kang'an to stand on the united front. The weeds that could not be eradicated because of the protection of the emperor really made them wonder how to react.

Feng Shuangzhi thought of Yongyan's plan at the beginning, and for some reason, he became startled.

She tapped the corner of the small square table with her fingers, and said: "Cut the grass but not the roots, and the spring breeze will regenerate them. I am afraid that these two people will become serious troubles."

"That's right." He Shen sighed, but with his eyes squinted, there was a dark light flickering, he lowered his head to kiss Feng Shuangzhi's earlobe, and smiled again, "But it's okay, unless the one who is enthroned is not the fifteenth elder brother, Otherwise, Sun Li and Sun Li will not die now, but they will die in the future. It’s not good to get it on the prince’s side, so what good will there be in the future?”

That's true, but it's just the [-]th succession, I really don't know how many years later.

Looking at the current situation, I just don't know if I can wait until the fifteenth.

It will be the emperor's birthday in less than a month, and He Shen asked Feng Shuangzhi to find a few rare gifts. Now that the emperor is ill, he has to find something to send to him, so as not to be annoyed by the impeachment of Sun and Li. he.

Feng Shuangzhi only went out in the afternoon, and today he took He Shen's carriage and was only driven by his servants.

She was going to Hengtaizhai, the weather in Beijing is very hot now, Wang Rulong is not in Beijing at all, but did he come to Beijing for business, the shop is managed by the people below.Feng Shuangzhi was a regular customer, and even more a distinguished guest. The people from Hengtai Zhai did not dare to neglect her. When they saw Feng Shuangzhi coming out, they greeted her. Feng Shuangzhi only asked them to take out the things at the bottom of the box .

I just looked around, no matter if it was an antique jade or something else, I didn't like it.

Although the western table clock is exquisite, how can it compare with the tribute to the palace?

Seeing that Feng Shuangzhi didn't like it, the manager of the shop couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "If Madam and I don't like these, we have to wait for the next batch in three days. I heard that there is a very novel and exquisite set of snuff. Pot, whether it is a collection or a gift, it is very good."

"Then I'll be back in three days, please trouble Zhang." Feng Shuangzhi got nothing today, so he was about to leave.

The manager was about to see her off, but when he arrived at the door, he heard someone's voice.

"Brother Xie has a literary talent and is already No. 1 in the provincial examination. Why do you need to worry about not being the number one in high school in the future?"

"I'm joking, brother. How can there be so many champions? I ask myself that I can't compare to Mr. Wang Jie's profound knowledge. I just want to be named on the gold list. How dare I ask for a champion? Brother Feng, you are very likely."

"Feng Lin is too young, how can he have such abilities? Originally, he wanted to worship under Mr. Wang Jie, but Mr. Wang Jie is not selfish. He visited many times and was rejected."

Speaking of this, Feng Lin also had a wry smile on his face.

The young man surnamed Xie walked in with him, and also smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I heard that Mr. Yuan Mei will return to Beijing soon, so we need some presents that we can afford."

"That's right." Feng Lin entered the door, and Fang said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Yuan accepted my second sister as a female student to spread the word about Beijing." When he raised his eyes, he had already seen Feng Shuangzhi.

Feng Shuangzhi didn't go out of the house very often recently. He only came home during the New Year's Eve. He only saw Feng Lin once. He knew that he was not young and capable. Ying Lian liked him. Feng Lin had become an heir. Now It is necessary to fully support.

She almost heard the conversation between the two, and guessed that this person surnamed Xie was also a scholar during the provincial examination. It seemed that Feng Lin had a lot of friends.

When Feng Lin saw her, he was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed to greet her: "Feng Lin has seen the second sister, why did the second sister come out today?"

The young man surnamed Xie was quite handsome. He stood aside and looked at Feng Shuangzhi for a while, then politely turned his gaze back.

Feng Shuangzhi didn't respond to people she didn't know. She glanced at Feng Lin and found that the child had grown taller.

With a smile on his face, Feng Shuangzhi said: "Come out to pick out something, but I didn't find anything suitable. I'm afraid I'll come back in a few days. Your test papers in the township examination are very good. Mafa is looking forward to you Come out, Wanmo live up to his old man's expectations, if there is any difficulty, one can tell Mafa, and the other can come to the mansion to find me. By the way, this is—"

Feng Lin listened to Feng Shuangzhi's words and nodded. After hearing her question at the beginning, he introduced this person to Feng Shuangzhi: "Brother Xie is also the best candidate in this year's provincial examination, classmate Nailin."

Feng Shuangzhi turned his gaze away, and saw the young man surnamed Xie clasped his hands, and said to her: "My late student, Xie Zhending, I have seen my wife."

Seeing that Feng Shuangzhi is dressed as a woman and Feng Lin's elder sister, he can be regarded as half of his elders.

Upon hearing the name, Feng Shuangzhi became a little playful.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "This name sounds familiar, you are the one who stopped the ignorant butler of my house that day, right?"

Xie Zhending frowned, startled, but his eyes were depressed, he raised his eyes to look at Feng Shuangzhi, and said, "So it's He Madam."

Feng Lin didn't know what kind of misunderstanding had arisen, seeing Feng Shuangzhi's face was about to smile, it was not easy to intervene.Feng Shuangzhi didn't want him to intervene, and just waved his hand at Feng Lin, "This matter is only an hour, fourth brother don't worry about it."

Turning his gaze to look at Xie Zhending, the man said "So it's Mrs. He", presumably he knew that the car he stopped that day belonged to Hefu.That day Feng Shuangzhi asked Zhou Qu that Liu Quan'er bumped into a lot of people on the street, she was afraid that Liu Quan'er would get into some trouble and offend someone, so she asked more.Zhou Qu said that the person's name was Xie Zhending, and it was a coincidence that he just met him.

"I don't think Mr. Xie knows. At that time, my housekeeper Liu Quan'er was about to get married, so I wanted to pick a gift for the bride. When I came back, I was in a hurry and bumped into so many people. Your Excellency stopped him and asked him to compensate the people in the street. Liu Quan'er is He didn’t bring enough silver taels, and he didn’t say anything to shirk it, so don’t you misunderstand him. The money compensation has been paid, but you have to forgive me for what happened that day.”

Feng Shuangzhi originally thought that when it came to this point, it would normally be exposed like this.

This Xie Zhending is also a scholar, Feng Shuangzhi just smoothed out all the thorns that could be erased out of habit, who would have thought that Xie Zhending would be soft and hard.

Xie Zhending smiled and said: "Why should Madam worry about such a trivial matter? The injury is minor, but compensation to small traders is a big one. How can Xie Zhending be so respected by Madam? Madam thinks too much."

Thinking too much——Feng Shuangzhi suddenly felt that this person really didn't know how to flatter him.

He also speaks beautifully, but he is secretly prickly.

Feng Shuangzhi just frowned, and before he had time to refute, he heard him say: "Ren Madam, you have a lot of tongue, but you can't explain a problem - Liu Quan'er is just a servant, and he is a rich man, and it is illegal to ride a carriage." Customized, so the harm to the next thing is small, the harm to the merchant is small, what is the big thing, Madam must be like a mirror in her heart."

Feng Shuangzhi's expression turned cold when she heard this, she pushed up her sleeves, and only curled one lip, "You really are a sensible person."

Turning her head to look at Feng Lin who was a little embarrassed, she lightly pressed his shoulder and said, "My sister is inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, and I have to go back to my house now, and remember what my sister said just now."

"Yes."

Feng Lin didn't dare to ask what was the argument between Feng Shuangzhi and Xie Zhending just now, so he just bowed to see her off.

Just as Feng Shuangzhi stepped out of Hengtai Zhai, he heard Liu Quan'er's voice.

Liu Quan'er got off the carriage on the opposite side of the street, ran to Feng Shuangzhi in two steps, and slapped Qian'er in front of Feng Shuangzhi: "Slave greets Madam, my lord just came back from Cathay, and saw him from a distance. Ask your servant to take a look at your car, I don’t think it’s really Madam.”

He laughed, and with just a turn of his gaze, he easily spotted Xie Zhending standing in the door, yo, this guy looks familiar!

Isn't this the one who fought with him that day?

Liu Quan'er took a deep breath when she remembered this, and looked at Feng Shuangzhi.

Feng Shuangzhi naturally knew who he saw, so he just said: "Don't make trouble, let's go."

Thinking about it now, Liu Quan'er was still a bit unwilling, so she only glanced at Xie Zhending, and turned around to open the way for Feng Shuangzhi.

When Feng Shuangzhi got to the carriage, He Shen opened the curtain for her from inside, and stretched out his hand to take her out. Feng Shuangzhi could see the smile on his face through the curtain.

Feng Shuangzhi got into the carriage and was pulled to his side.

"Have you picked something?"

"The manager said that there is nothing else to do today, but a set of snuff bottles will come over in a few days. They say they are small and delicate, and I'm going to have a look." Feng Shuangzhi seemed to have completely ignored the incident that happened to Xie Zhending just now. She laughed, leaning on He Shen, and said, "By the way, I heard on the way that the emperor wants to tour the south again?"

"The national treasury is empty, where did you get the money?" He Shen squinted his eyes, "But... there is some money for the crime, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to go now because of his mixed body."

"That's true." That He Shen might not be on a business trip anytime soon, Feng Shuangzhi thought lightly.

"I saw Feng Lin just now, but you met him?" He Shen asked.

"Yes, but I also met Xie Zhending." Feng Shuangzhi said nonchalantly, and then said, "You are now a student of Zhili, right?"

"I'm Xuezheng, but what's the matter with Xie Zhending?" He Shen always felt familiar with this person's name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

He was selected by Qianlong as Xuezheng entirely because of He Shen's ability to preside over the compilation of "Siku Quanshu". All these things were handed over to him.

Feng Shuangzhi said: "I heard that Xie Zhending is a scholar from Shandong, and he passed the provincial examination this year. A few months ago, Liu Quan'er was driving around the city, and he was caught by this man. Just now I saw him and Feng Lin, Then he casually explained something to Liu Quan'er, thinking that this person is toasting and not eating fine wine. He doesn't eat hard and soft, which is unreasonable."

It was rare for Liu Quan'er to not do it beautifully, but it was justifiable, and he compensated those individuals at that time, and the accident with the carriage was not what Liu Quan'er thought, and he should have let it go.

Xie Zhending seemed to really not care about this matter, but later said that Liu Quan'er was a daughter of a thousand dollars, and the carriage he was riding was not in compliance with the rules.

Feng Shuangzhi thought of the carriage he rode in today, but became vigilant, and secretly reminded himself not to make mistakes again.

After talking about Xie Zhending's matter in a few words, He Shen only said: "How many clean people are there in this officialdom? The mavericks can't go far. This person can stand and talk without back pain. Even Wang Jie occasionally Going with the flow, not daring to show too much, what kind of thing is he?"

This is not polite, and it can be seen that there is a bit of coldness in He Shen's eyes.

Feng Shuangzhi said: "Don't spoil the overall situation because of such a small matter, it's just a casual talk for you to listen to."

He Shen laughed, "It's just a scholar, how can the overall situation be so easily broken?"

He said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.

After returning to the mansion, He Shen asked someone to check on Xie Zhending, and found out that Xie Zhending had a good relationship with Wang Jie. It was that day that Liu Quan'er fought with him, and Wang Jie stopped him, so Wang Jie knew him. Xie Zhending.

Xie Zhending had heard of Wang Jie's name a long time ago, and knew of his reputation abroad, Dang even was very excited and hoped to worship under Wang Jie's sect, but Wang Jie did not accept him.Not only did he not accept Xie Zhending, he even refused to accept anyone as his disciple.

The former emperor pointed out a marriage to Wang Jie, and Wang Jie still seems to be annoyed now, and he doesn't know what the situation is.The emperor was ill and didn't bother to talk to Wang Jie. However, because Wang Jie was clean and capable of handling affairs, he made good friends with all the incorruptible ministers in the court. He had already gained a firm foothold in the court. Fukang'an's situation is up against the court.

He Shen checked this Xie Zhending, and found that it was not a simple one, and Yuan Mei admired him very much.

Speaking of which, Yuan Mei can also be regarded as He Shen's mentor, and Xie Zhending is going to become his He Shen's junior.

It's just that such a person must not become his stumbling block.

He Shen edited a letter and sent it to Shandong. Cathay was recommended by him to be a political student in Shandong a while ago.

How did Xie Zhending and Feng Lin know that He Shen had so many plans?

After Feng Shuangzhi left, neither of them thought much about it, only Xie Zhending took a look at the car and knew it belonged to a court official.

Feng Shuangzhi and his wife went in at this time, so they knew who was sitting inside.

He glanced back at Feng Lin and said with a smile: "Brother just said that Sister Ling is a student of Mr. Yuan Mei, is it true?"

Feng Lin noticed that this brother Xie was not quite right with his second sister, so he smiled wryly: "It is indeed Mr. Yuan Mei's disciple, and he is my second brother-in-law, who is the Minister of Military Affairs and Zhili Xuezheng Heshen is also a disciple of Mr. Yuan Mei."

This matter was not widely circulated, and people didn't even discuss it much, because Yuan Mei liked to travel around the mountains and rivers, and traveled all over the Qing Dynasty, so she was not often in the capital.Although Yuan Mei is famous for his talent, he may not be very famous among the rich and powerful in the capital. Those who know him are mostly from the scholarly family, or the children of the rich and powerful will only think of him when they are studying, and rarely think of Yuan Mei when they are nearby. Such people come.Therefore, the fact that He Shen and Feng Shuangzhi were both Yuan Mei's students was not widely spread as a good story - but maybe it was because there were enough other rumors about these two people.

Xie Zhending walked to the front of the counter, held down a feather fan with only one finger, picked it up to look at it, and said with a nonchalant smile: "It's really unexpected that Mr. Yuan Mei would accept such two people as his disciples."

He Shen doesn't know, but what kind of ability does this lady and his wife have?

His current doubts were only fleeting, but he never thought that because of today's quick talk, he almost missed the gold list in the palace examination, which triggered a new round of struggle in the court.
