The emperor is embarrassed

These days, lawsuits are popular.

When the Xu family's lawsuit broke out, people also felt that it was rare.

Although this is an era of filial piety, it is not as pedantic as the dogma of saints.Aunt mother and concubine son, this topic itself is delicate enough.

As soon as this lawsuit came out, no matter who was right or who was wrong, the aunt in the wealthy family of every emperor became more wary of the concubine.Seeing that Xu Xiang is gone, he is just a little bastard from a noble family who has flourished steadily and cut his aunt's face like this.

On the surface, they wanted to punish Diao Nu, but it was Xu San's aunt who was really ashamed.

Who doesn't understand the tricks here? Although Xu Xiang is smart, don't treat others as fools.

The imperial capital was divided into two factions, some sympathized with Xu San's family, while others looked down on Xu San's ungrateful behavior.After all, from the point of view of etiquette, the slaves around the aunt, let alone came under the order of the aunt, Xu San directly sent the slaves sent by the aunt to the prison, no matter what the outcome of the trial, Mrs. Xu naturally lost all face. Shame on the imperial capital.

Xu San also killed one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred, so he failed to gain a good reputation.

Elder Ouyang Ke couldn't see it again, so he turned away and called Xu San, and persuaded in a low voice, "Master Xu, it's the face of your Xu family."

Now that Xu San is the Minister of the Household Department, Ouyang Ke is not good at reprimanding him in public, so he has to persuade him privately.

How determined is Xu San, who can be persuaded by a few words, and sighed in embarrassment, "Who says it's not? I understand Master Ouyang's heart. However, I also have my own difficulties. Do I just let the scumbag bully me?" ? It's just unreasonable."

Seeing Xu Sanming's stubbornness, Ouyang Ke wanted to persuade him not to come, so he let out a long sigh and walked away.

Then Xu Yingyu went to work in Shanrentang again, and many sour and rotten scholars sighed: the world is declining, people's hearts are not old, these women don't obey women's morals, and it's shameful to show their faces in public.

Xu Yingyu and Wu Wan got along very well, they hit it off right away.Both of them are smart people with a heart, and they speak and act very harmoniously.

There are always a lot of common topics between women, Wu Wan is a serious Jiangnan woman, Xu Yingyu's hometown is also Jiangnan, and they are both in Yangzhou, so they are naturally closer.

Xu San's original plan was for his daughter to work in Shanrentang, so she would get a name from the Empress Dowager Wei.However, Xu San forgot that Xu Yingyu also had to deal with Wu Wan, and Wu Wan's brutal reputation was well-known in the imperial capital.

Xu Yingyu went in and out with Wu Wan, and even Xu Yingyu's reputation became stronger. She was divorced, and she had a terribly supportive father. For a while, she didn't know her roots or was timid. People dare to ask for marriage.

A good girl is also worried about marrying.Xu San sighed from time to time.

When Xu Yingyu walked outside, she naturally had to meet men outside, such as Shen Zhuoyan, Wei Ziyao, Song Xiang, etc., who came and went, and they were familiar with each other.

Xu Yingyu is different from Wu Wan, she is very feminine, and she is clever, intelligent, and caring, and she makes good dim sum, which she often brings for everyone to share.

Wei Ziyao is good at eating, drinking, and playing. Although he can't do it, he knows how to taste it, and he will often give some small opinions.Xu Yingyu was generous and refreshing, and she was meticulous and intelligent in her actions. She was not annoyed, but instead asked Wei Ziyao for a lot of prescriptions.

Worried about Xu San, he asked his son in a low voice, "Is your sister familiar with Wei Ziyao?"

"Well, familiar." Xu Bingzhong didn't notice what his father meant, and just said, "last time my sister won Wei Ziyao's three games in a row, and she went to the banquet called Taibailou to treat her."

Xu San became even more worried, and had to vaccinate his daughter first, "Girl, Wei Ziyao is a broken sleeve." We have to show our tricks!

Xu Yingyu was slightly startled, and nodded, "I see." What a pity.

Xu San was startled, "You don't know..." What's the matter?At the moment, Xu San's mind has already reflexively reflected more than a hundred ways to kill Wei Ziyao.

"No." Xu Yingyu was also honest, "I just think Ziyao is good. What a pity. He has a very good temper. Oh, forget it, since this is the case, I have to treat him as a sister."

Seeing that her daughter's face didn't show any sadness, Xu San breathed a sigh of relief. Deep in her heart, she spared Wei Ziyao's life, and asked her daughter, "Isn't there still a young Shen Juren? Even though he was a Juren, Shen Zhuo said that Enke missed the exam this time." .He is very young, and there are articles about him in the royal newspapers. His writing is good, he is talented, and he is sure to pass the exam. Now he has a job under the emperor, and his prospects are good."

"Shen Zhuoyan, it's too young." Xu Yingyu shook her head indifferently, and said with a smile, "Father, Shen Zhuoyan is only seventeen this year, five years younger than me."

"It's nothing." Xu Sanji told his daughter openly, "If you fancy someone, tell me first."

Xu San is not pedantic, as a man, he knows better what kind of woman a man likes and what kind of woman a man will be attracted to.

"Ah."

In fact, Wei Ziyao and Xu Yingyu are quite connected. Xu Yingyu has a good impression of Wei Ziyao, and Wei Ziyao does not shy away from admiring Xu Yingyu in front of Wei Yingjia, "Ms. She is not vulgar like ordinary women, she never gets tired of talking to her, and she is not as cold as Wu Wanniang, she is really like Mu Chunfeng."

Wei Yingjia smiled and said, "Xu San is as slippery as a loach, and his daughter is naturally different from everyone else. Take it easy, don't offend Miss Xu, Xu San is not easy to mess with."

"Miss Xu and I are only congenial in temperament." Wei Ziyao has friendships in all religions and schools, and he does not have a strong class character in his view of people. That's why he can get along with Wu Wan and Xu Yingyu with his temperament.

What Wei Ziyao didn't know was that even though he reconciled, he was still secretly envied by many men in the imperial capital.Naturally, Wu Wan and Xu Yingyu were not easy to provoke, and no old birthday star would eat arsenic to provoke them desperately.

However, the colors of these two women are displayed on the outside, and those who occasionally glance at them are quite amazed.

Such two women, such as idlers dare not get close to, but Wei Ziyao can get close to each other, envy countless wretched men, old and young, in Huaichun.They all said that although Wei Ziyao is not very capable, Yan Fu is not small.

Wei Yingjia listened to Wei Ziyao's praise of Xu Yingyu, thinking about when she would go to see this woman, what she looked like, so that Wei Ziyao, who had never loved women, could be so fascinated.

Wei Yingjia's thoughts moved slightly, but a rare good relationship was formed.

Let's start with the word "disaster from the sky".

Now that Tianjin Port is busy attracting investment, Wu Wan really couldn't concentrate on the Shanren Hall, so she slowly handed over all the accounts to Xu Yingyu to take care of.

In fact, it is not difficult to handle. These days, women who take care of the inner house and the family property have to learn to read the account books and do the accounting.Although the affairs in Shanren Hall are complicated, they all have the same reason, and everything changes.

Xu Yingyu is a smart person, and she gets started very quickly.

Therefore, Wu Wan only came to Shanrentang occasionally when she was free.And most of the time at night, especially at the end of the month, Shanrentang will issue a report and post it outside.Therefore, Wu Wan and Xu Yingyu have to check things like accounting.

After dismissing the tents, the two of them talked about Shan Ren Tang again, and prepared to go home.Xu Yingyu ordered the girl Hehua to urge Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan, two people who are engaged in the royal newspaper.

Although Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan worked under His Majesty's Majesty, their office environment was far from that of Wu Wan and Xu Yingyu's. The two of them didn't even have an office, and most of them worked in Wei's residence.

Wei Ziyao is a careful person, he knew that the two women would definitely return late when Shanrentang settled accounts today, so he found an excuse to stay in Shanrentang, thinking that if it was late, he would send the two women off.Although both of them are accompanied by slaves, sometimes slaves really can't handle big things at night.

Therefore, when the lotus flower asked, Wei Ziyao called Shen Zhuoyan to leave, and Xu Bingzhong, who was dozing by the side, also got up.

The three of them went together.

Shen Zhuo said first, "Miss Wu, it's getting late, let me give you a ride."

Although it was June and the night was cool, the servants of the Xu family brought a thin cloak, and Xu Yingyu was tying the cloak for her younger brother, when she heard Shen Zhuoyan's words, she was slightly stunned, her fingers fluttered, and she tied the cloak's tie into a beautiful bow.

Wu Wan declined, "It's okay, if there are servants and slaves at home, I won't bother Mr. Shen."

Don't look at Shen Zhuoyan's brilliant pen, but he is not very good at talking, so he just said, "By the way, I'm on the way."

Xu Bingzhong said, "Sister, Master Wu, let's go home now."

Xu Yingyu turned her head and told the two veteran guards in the Shanren Hall, "Uncle Liu and Uncle Li, you should go to bed early too. Be careful about the door."

The two agreed one after another.

Xu Bingzhong was about to help his sister to say goodbye to everyone, when he heard a scream beside him, and in a blink of an eye, he saw two people jumping out from nowhere, each holding a kitchen knife in his hand, shouting, "Hack the adulterer to death!" whore!"

Then he raised his sword and killed all directions.

Xu Bingzhong and Wei Ziyao all have a bit of status, and there are quite a few maids and servants who go out. The key is that none of them knows martial arts.The guards were all guarding the car, far away, suddenly two kitchen knife men rushed in out of thin air, with a bit of madness. For a while, they were like wolves in a herd of sheep. The conscientious slave maid knew how to protect the master They hid together, and a few were injured just like that.

Wu Wanruo was pushed away by Shen Zhuoyan, but Shen Zhuoyan was quite courageous, and went up to meet him, knocking one person to the ground, holding the person's wrists tightly with both hands, rolling and fighting with him on the ground.

The two men with kitchen knives had a very good division of labor, one came towards Wu Wan, the other came out directly from the side, knocked Xu Yingyu over, and was about to chop with a raised knife.

Xu Bingzhong yelled and was about to pounce on him, but he was not fast enough. Seeing that the man's knife was about to slash, Xu Bingzhong's eyes were tearing apart, seeing that he couldn't save his sister, he was burning with anxiety.Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, a long sword pierced through the air and directly pierced the man's wrist holding the kitchen knife.

The assailant hissed in pain, Xu Yingyu's mind went blank, she instinctively pulled out a golden hairpin from her head, raised her hand and pierced the assailant's left eye.

The assailant roared again, and a stream of blood rolled down his left eye.In this moment, Xu Bingzhong had rushed over to bump this person away, picked up Xu Yingyu with a pale face, and asked repeatedly, "Sister, sister, are you all right? Are you all right?"

Xu Yingyu's heart was pounding, her legs and feet were weak, she couldn't even stand up, she was almost paralyzed in her younger brother's arms, unable to speak.

At this time, all the servants, guards and girls came to their senses and exclaimed, those who help others help others, and those who beat thieves beat thieves.

No one could have predicted what happened during the lightning.

Wei Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Yingjia driving his horse, and asked him, "Why are you here?"

"Come to find you." Wei Yingjia dismounted, and the flying sword that saved Xu Yingyu's life just now was thrown by Wei Yingjia in a hurry, and it was piercing the assailant's wrist.Go down with your own hands and pull out the sword from the man's wrist, wipe it clean and return it to Wei Yingjia.

Wei Yingjia directly ordered, "If you dare to assassinate an official ordered by the court, you will be thrown into prison." His subordinates took the two of them away together with two kitchen knives.

"Master Wu, Miss Xu, are you alright?"

Just as Wu Wan helped Shen Zhuoyan up from the ground, this woman was extremely calm and her expression remained unchanged, even Wei Yingjia admired it a little.Wu Wan supported Shen Zhuoyan with one hand, and said in a cold voice, "Shang Ping'an, I just wait for Lord Wei to give me justice."

Xu Yingyu's complexion has slightly improved, and Xu Bingzhong thanked her again and again, "Thanks to Master Wei for his timely rescue, the Xu family is very grateful."

Xu Yingyu saluted and said, "Thank you."

"I'm the admiral of the Nine Gates, and this is my duty." Wei Yingjia said, "You women, no matter how busy you are, you'd better go home early."

"Miss Xu, your hairpin." The man's eyes must have been lost, Wei Yingjia glanced at Xu Yingyu's still pale face, and was quite sure that this woman was not Wei Ziyao's favorite.A maid next to him took Xu Yingyu's hairpin.

Fortunately, everyone was safe when this happened. Wei Yingjia arranged for someone to send them home without mentioning it.
