The Villain is Addicted to Farming
Chapter 25 House fighting is not as good as farming 25
When Zhong Qiyuan went to Luoyang with Meng Shi and Zhong Chuyuan, he found that the Yun family's carriage also had a lot of luggage.Yun Yi came out to see Cong Wan off, Zhong Chuyuan saw this and asked, "Is Sister Yun planning to go far away too?"
Cong Wan smiled slightly, and her eyes fell on Zhong Qiyuan: "Well, my brother is back, and there is no one to serve my parents, so I want to go to Luoyang to take care of them."
Meng Shi and Zhong Chuyuan were very happy that they had Cong Wan as their companion on the road, but Zhong Qiyuan's eyes were intriguing.
Knowing that Cong Wan was here to monitor her, she was not angry, but came to Cong Wan's carriage and asked, "Our carriage is too small, would Miss Yun mind giving me a ride?"
Cong Wan glanced at the Zhong family's carriage. The two skinny horses could barely pull four hundred catties of goods. Meng Shi, Zhong Chuyuan and the coachman, plus some luggage, were just right. If there was another person squeezed, the two horses would I'm afraid it's overwhelmed.
She smiled and said, "Welcome."
Zhong Qiyuan got into Cong Wan's carriage, there was only one row of seats in the carriage, so she sat beside Cong Wan.
A familiar smell of herbs entered Cong Wan's nose, which she often smelled at Zhong's house, but at this moment, the smell of herbs was faint with a faint fragrance, which was obviously the fragrance of Zhong Qiyuan's body.
The carriage drove out slowly, and the wheels made the sound of rubbing against the axles, which was gradually amplified in this quiet carriage.
Cong Wan glanced at the potted potato that Zhong Qiyuan was holding, and asked, "Do I need to bring it?"
"I don't know when the task will be completed, and I will leave this world, so I naturally have to take it with me."
"You are confident that you can complete the task."
As soon as Wan Wan finished speaking, Zhong Qiyuan turned to look at her.
"What are you doing?" Wanxin whispered.
"This is the first time you've talked about missions."
Cong Wan knew that as an auditor, she should remain neutral, and it was best not to get involved.
In the past, she only audited the intern host and the system behind the scenes. She could neither contact the system nor discuss mission-related matters with the intern host.But now it is an unprecedented experience to go to the small world with the main body to perform tasks, and she didn't hold back for a while.
Zhong Qiyuan put the potted plant at his feet, clapped his hands to wipe off the dust, and leaned on the board behind him with his arms folded, showing her confidence to Congwan: "There are not many restrictions in this world, and it is not difficult to complete the task." .”
Cong Wan rolled her eyes: "But it's very difficult for you to settle down and not make trouble."
Zhong Qiyuan turned to look at her: "The auditor should be fair, how can he be preconceived? I have always followed the rules."
Cong Wan twitched the corner of her mouth: "..."
According to the system, although she used to be the host of the villain system, she did not violate the rules of the main god's space, but she also took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, so that the main god could neither kill her nor let her continue to perform tasks with peace of mind. She was exiled.
From a certain point of view, she does follow the rules, but this person really has no points in his heart.
Zhong Qiyuan stared at her with dangerous eyes: "Are you scolding me?"
Cong Wan was startled, but her face remained calm: "Did I scold you? Can the host slander people with empty teeth?"
Zhong Qiyuan said: "You don't need to speak, you are like this idiot system, you put everything in your heart on your face."
From Wan language plug.Was it shameless for her to be seen so easily by what she was thinking?
The system lying on the gun: "I am the idiot system, and you are the idiot host!"
"How old are you? Is it the first generation system? If not, you can also be compared with me?"
system:"……"
You really go out of your way to insult the system.
"Host, you are really annoying."
-
In view of the fact that Zhong Qiyuan and his party were not in a very urgent mood to arrive in Luoyang, the speed of the carriage was not fast, and they would stop to rest for an hour every hour or two.In this way, at dusk, the group of people just went from Fu county to neighboring county.
The neighboring county happened to be the government office of the state city, and there was a curfew at night, so they found a family residence to stay.
Although they were not short of money, they were reluctant to share a room with each other. Mrs. Meng planned to let her two daughters sleep on the bed, and she would lie on the table for the night.Seeing this, Congwan said, "Aunt Meng shares a room with Yuanyuan, let Sister Zhong come to my room!"
Zhong Qiyuan walked over with her potato potted plant in his arms, followed Cong Wan into the room, and said, "Do you need to keep an eye on it so closely?"
Cong Wan was stunned for a moment, realizing that this man thought he shared a room with her just to monitor her.
Kind-hearted as a donkey's liver and lungs!
Cong Wan raised her hand and opened the door: "Then you go to sleep with Aunt Meng, and Yuan Yuan will come here instead."
Zhong Qiyuan pressed down on the door frame, and closed the door back: "You can stare at it if you like, anyway, you've been staring at it for such a long time, one extra night is not much, and one less night is not too much."
Cong Wan rolled his eyes.Knowing that she likes to make up brains, but also worried that saying that she is passionate will make her angry, so she simply didn't explain.
But Zhong Qiyuan's brain supplement is not unreasonable.Although the fire didn't scare her, it also made her realize the danger of Zhong Qiyuan.
Zhong Qiyuan went to Luoyang aggressively this time, apparently to cause trouble, if she didn't keep an eye on it, it would be too late to rely on the system to report the news.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Zhong Qiyuan again.
In the eyes of others, this person is "Zhong Qiyuan". His appearance combines Meng's soft facial features with Zhong's tough face. His temperament is indifferent and casual, unlike a person who acts harshly.
In her eyes, what Zhong Qiyuan showed was her original appearance.His facial features are three-dimensional, his cheekbones are slightly high, he looks cold and intellectual, his eyes are indifferent and a bit intimidating, and he doesn't look like someone who acts extreme.
Is it "a person should not be judged by his appearance" or did Zhong Qiyuan do such a violent thing after careful consideration?If the latter, what is the purpose?
Zhong Qiyuan watered the potato potted plants, then tore off the sash around his waist, and took off the Taoist robe. When he reached out to untie the belt of his middle coat, he suddenly raised his head to meet Cong Wan's gaze.
Because of her movements, Cong Wan's eyes moved from her face to her hands, and then fell to her waist.After a while, she came back to her senses, raised her eyes, and met Zhong Qiyuan's teasing eyes.
Cong Wan: "..., what are you doing?"
Zhong Qiyuan continued to untie his belt, and said while undressing: "Take off your clothes, you stared at me for so long, didn't you see it?"
Cong Wan was speechless.
Why do you make her sound like a pervert?She didn't mean that at all!
She asked again, "Why are you undressing?"
"Take a shower and go to bed, or do you think I undressed to seduce you?"
Cong Wan: "..."
She blushed and turned away: "Why do you always speak so obscenely?"
"I'm talking dirty. Is it okay for you to stare at me while I'm undressing?"
Cong Wanzi thought that she acted upright and upright, and being so slandered by Zhong Qiyuan, she became a little annoyed: "You! I didn't mean it, who made you so sudden, I don't know what to say."
"How many times has the aunt who brought the water been in and out? You covet my beauty, but you didn't notice it when you wandered too far away. You still blame me for being too charming?"
Congwan found that the more he talked, the more he couldn't make sense, so he turned on the bed angrily, turned his back to her and refused to look at her.
"I've suffered a loss and I'm not angry yet. Why are you angry?" Zhong Qiyuan muttered, took off his clothes and went behind the screen to take a bath.
Congwan heard the sound of dripping water not far away, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.This is her room, she kindly took Zhong Qiyuan in, why is this person so ignorant, if he wants to take a bath, he should wash it first, right? !
Thinking of this, she turned over and got out of bed, and quickly walked around behind the screen.Just when he was about to speak, he saw Zhong Qiyuan's arm resting on the edge of the bathtub, and that person was soaking in the hot water with a satisfied face, like a hot spring in a resort.
System: "Wow, the host has C! Although it is 70C."
Cong Wan: "..."
Why is the system so dirty?
"Fake, she used silicone!"
system:"……"
Zhong Qiyuan opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "I can't beat me, the more I think about it, the more depressed I get, so I regroup and prepare to fight me again?"
Cong Wan said: "I'm thousands of years old, so I won't be as childish as you!"
She poked her head to look at the bathtub. It was long and flat, just enough for a person to lie down and stretch his legs. Although the two of them were a bit reluctant, she and Zhong Qiyuan were neither fat nor unable to squeeze.
She declared forcefully: "This is the room I paid to live in, and I should wash it first if I want to take a shower."
Zhong Qiyuan could tell that Cong Wan was serious.
"I didn't stop you from washing, but if you don't mind that I've already soaked here, then you can come in!" She shrank her legs and gave up the remaining half of the bucket.
In fact, after Cong Wan finished speaking, she regretted a little, especially after seeing Zhong Qiyuan's big movements, her face turned red and hot.
She thought she was blushing from anger, but she didn't dare to move her eyes at all, and her heart beat faster, as if her blood was boiling.Only then did she realize that she was not angry, it was clearly because she realized that she had seen all of Zhong Qiyuan, and she felt ashamed.
She turned and went back to bed.
Just lay down, let the cold wind blow for a while and calm down again.Sitting up from the bed again: "I have what she has, am I ashamed?!"
The system said: "It's still different, she is 70C, you are B."
The professional and experienced auditor never broke the defense: "Fuck off."
She stood in front of Zhong Qiyuan again without changing her expression.
Zhong Qiyuan: "..."
She asked the system: "The auditor is crazy, is there any remedy?"
System: "No."
"You also think the auditor is crazy?"
Suddenly reacting, Zhong Qiyuan dug a hole and waited for the system he jumped to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Cong Wan took a deep breath, her expression resolute, as if she was going to the battlefield.
Zhong Qiyuan said: "You go back and forth, it doesn't seem like you want to take a bath, but you seem to be struggling to see if I want to take a bath. Are you going to do something to me who is not naked?"
Cong Wan staggered and almost fell, she held on to the edge of the tub, gave Zhong Qiyuan a vicious look, and hurriedly went to find the maidservant of Yun's family: "Let the mansion store prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
Zhong Qiyuan washed his face, got out of the cold water, put on clean clothes, and lay down early to rest.
No matter how spacious and comfortable the Yun family's carriage was, it was still inferior to modern vehicles in terms of shock absorption. After sitting in the carriage for so long, her body was as strong as hers, and her bones were about to fall apart.
When I came back from Wanwan, I saw her lying on the bed like a salted fish—even if she took a bath, she was still a clean salted fish—and immediately became out of breath: "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."
Zhong Qiyuan remained motionless: "This bed is so big, just squeeze it."
"The carriage will be crowded, the bathtub will be crowded, and the bed will also be crowded. Do you think I'm not watching you closely enough?"
"Isn't this just convenient for you to monitor me at close range!" Zhong Qiyuan turned over and rolled to the inner side of the bed, hugging the quilt and pretending to be asleep.
Cong Wan gritted her teeth in anger, but she still couldn't do such a rough thing as fighting with her, so she could only swallow her anger.
After she took a shower and turned to bed, she unceremoniously pulled all the quilt over to cover it.Zhong Qiyuan didn't respond, as if he was asleep.
Cong Wan looked at her, and felt a strange feeling, it was the first time they slept together in the same bed, but she felt her sleeping face in her heart, and she had seen it many times.
Just like when she saw Zhong Qiyuan for the first time back then, there was a tinge of joy in her heart for no reason.She thought she was happy that she could touch fish on a business trip, but now that she thought about it, it was more like she was happy about Zhong Qiyuan's appearance.
Thinking, thinking, she doesn't seem to be so angry with Zhong Qiyuan anymore.
After waking up from sleep, Zhong Chuyuan happily proposed to visit Zhoucheng.It happened that Zhong Qiyuan planned to change the land route to a water route, and followed the official ship of the water transport to Luoyang along the canal north, and the official ship would take two days to leave, so they had to stay in Zhoucheng for a while, so Zhong Chuyuan pulled Then Congwan wandered around.
Two days later, they packed their bags and went to the pier outside the city to board the boat.
In order to reach Luoyang in time, the water transport boats rarely stopped halfway, so they arrived in Luoyang within a month.
The servants of the Yun family had been waiting at the pier early on. Since they were not sure when they would arrive, they would send people to wait every day.Instead, the Zhong family sent people to take a look at it every now and then. When Zhong Qiyuan and the others arrived, there were no servants of the Zhong family on the pier.
Luoyang's wharf is still some distance away from Luoyang City, so Cong Wan said to his servant: "Go and prepare two more carriages, and take Aunt Meng and the others back to Zhong's house."
Instead, Zhong Qiyuan stopped her and said, "No need, let's go to the Taoist temple to settle down."
Zhong Chuyuan also nodded: "The last time my sister and I lived in the Taoist temple, we are familiar with it!"
Looking from Wan to Meng Shi, the latter just nodded.
Cong Wanxin thought, Zhong Zao probably already knew about Zhong Qiyuan setting fire to the fields, and he was probably still angry with Zhong Qiyuan at the moment, or thought that the mother and daughter would rush to him to lie down make small.
Unexpectedly, their counterattack had just begun.
She smiled and said, "I'll have someone take you to the Taoist temple. If you don't feel comfortable living there, you can come to Yun's house."
Meng Shi did not refuse her kindness.
Not long after they settled down in Furong Temple in the south of Luoyang City, Zhong Zao also received the news that the mother and daughter had arrived in Luoyang.
He was in a mixed mood, he wanted to hurry up to show off his power in front of them and see their faces that were afraid of him, but he also hated seeing them.
After the appointment, he didn't go back right away. He happened to be invited to a banquet by an official, so he gladly accepted the invitation. He didn't go back until it was almost curfew time with his new beauty in his arms.
Waiting for him to come back, Mrs. Zhou wanted to tell him that the mother and daughter of the Meng family did not come to the Zhong family, but stayed in the Taoist temple instead, but he dismissed him impatiently before he could say anything.
Because the hegemonic act of King Wei massacred the important officials of the old family in Chang'an and forced the emperor to move to Luoyang, the people in Luoyang were panicked. All the families were afraid that they would become the next batch of dead souls, so they expressed their loyalty to King Wei.
Some people are also eager to win over the upstarts who have taken refuge in the confidants of the new king of Wei. Zhong Zao, the former secretary of the king of Wei and now the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, has become one of their goals.
They gave money and beauties, although Zhong Zao didn't dare to accept bribes blatantly, but he never refused those beauties.
With so many beauties in the backyard, Zhou, who was originally the most favored, gradually lost color under the comparison of these beauties.So at the moment Zhong Zao is having fun, he can't even think of Mrs. Zhou, let alone Mrs. Meng whom he hates.
The next day, he got up early to go to court.When the court was over, it suddenly occurred to me that Mrs. Meng didn't seem to show up last night or this morning.
Before he could send someone back to ask, he met Yun Ding.
He greeted Yun Ding, and Yun Ding said a few polite words to him, then turned his head and left.
Zhong Zao was dissatisfied, and felt that since Yun Ding had a large army in his hand, he was becoming less and less important to him.
At this time, Shi Xuanwei came over: "Zhong Shangshu."
Zhong Zuo replied respectfully: "Third Young Master."
Shi Xuanwei's gaze on him was a bit strange, he was a little uncomfortable, so he asked: "But what's wrong with the lower official?"
Shi Xuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "No, I just want to say that the relationship between Zhong Shangshu and Yun Tongjun seems to be very close."
Zhong Zuo was at a loss, how did he see that they were close?
Shi Xuanwei said again, "After all, the Jun Jun visited Yun's house as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, which shows the close relationship between the two families. It's just..."
Zhong Zuo's rank official is a Zhengyi doctor of the fourth grade. As his wife, he ordered his wife to be the county monarch, so the "junjun" Shi Xuanwei said was the Meng family.
Zhong Zuo didn't have time to think about it, he thought about it, and quickly asked: "But what?"
"The Jun Jun is really gentle, virtuous, and kind. The reason why she lived in the Taoist temple with the two Taoist priests is because she can't worry about the two Taoist priests, right?!"
Zhong Zuo finally knew what he had overlooked from yesterday to today.
The Meng family did not live in the Zhong family's mansion with a shy face as he imagined, nor did he obediently wait to apologize to him, let alone try to curry favor with him, but took his daughter to live in the Taoist temple without saying a word.
And after living in the Taoist temple, she didn't think about going back to Zhong's house to see him, but went to visit Yun's house first.
Where does this put his face? !
No wonder Yun Ding and Shi Xuanwei's eyes are so strange, Yun Ding doesn't take him seriously at all, but just belittles and despises him!
As for Shi Xuanwei, he was definitely not really curious about his relationship with the Yun family, but reminded himself in a disguised form that he was ashamed and thrown at his grandma's house!
He didn't know how to answer, so he could only respond with a few vague words.
After Shi Xuanwei left, he immediately sent someone home to find out what was going on.During this period, some colleagues who did not deal with him openly praised and criticized this matter when they mentioned it. He could not get angry in the public and could only sulk.
An hour later, the person who inquired about the news came back and said: "The mistress did not live in the house, she lives in Furong Temple with the young lady."
Zhong Zao was furious: "What does she mean?"
The man wondered: "The mistress doesn't seem to know where Zhong's house is, and there is no one to greet her at the pier. Just as the little lady wants to live in the Taoist temple, the mistress follows her in."
Zhong Zuo choked.
It was impossible for him to admit that he wanted to give Meng Shi a bad name, so he didn't let the servants go to the dock to wait every day.
So he shifted the responsibility to the steward.When he returned home, he angrily reprimanded the steward and the Zhou family: "The servants of the Yun family are waiting at the pier every day. From morning to night, how do you do things? Just let the Yun family see our jokes!"
I saw Mrs. Zhou crying pitifully for a while in front of him, and he softened his heart, but the manager was not so lucky.Zhong Zao is very powerful now, in order to warn others, the steward was kicked out of Zhong's house.
Seeing such a big and fat vacancy, Mrs. Zhou proposed to let her cousin fill it.
Zhong Zuo was still angry, and said: "Is it time to discuss who should be the insider? It is the right thing to let the Meng family come back earlier! Why don't you tell me that the Meng family is going to live in a Taoist temple, and I will be in the same office today as a colleague?" Lost face in front of him."
Mrs. Zhou felt aggrieved, and Zhong Zao didn't bother to listen to her justification, so he went straight to the young and beautiful woman's place to spend the night.
Mrs. Zhou went to Zhong Queyuan to cry, but her daughter, who used to be very well-behaved in front of her, was very impatient now: "Miss, you should know that Aye is in a high position now, and the teenage beauties around him are so tender How do you compare with them when you pinch the water? If you have a little self-awareness, you will know that you need to change your strategy in order to keep your position in Aye's heart."
Mrs. Zhou was very angry, but she also knew that what she said made sense, so she asked: "Then what should I do? Mrs. Meng and her two daughters have also returned..."
Zhong Queyuan was startled: "They're back?!"
Mrs. Zhou scolded: "They came back the day before yesterday! You surround the third young master every day, and your thoughts are all on men, and you don't even care about what happened at home!"
Zhong Queyuan was relieved when she found out that they didn't go home after they came back, but went to the Taoist temple, and made Zhong Zuo's face look down, and said, "What are you afraid of? The more they fight against Aye, the more Aye will become." Don't like them, they can't take away what belongs to us!"
Now that she has cooked rice with Shi Xuanwei, she will be a proper concubine when Shi Xuanwei ascends the throne as emperor.With Shi Xuanwei's current enthusiasm for her and her background, it is a bit difficult to be a concubine, but it is definitely no problem for her to become one of the "Nine Concubines".
And Zhong Chuyuan became a monk and had no chance to marry and have children, so she won this battle no matter how you look at it!
Now that the Meng family's mother and daughter are rejected by Zhong Zao, Zhong Queyuan can imagine how difficult and desolate Zhong Chuyuan's situation is.She was very excited and wanted to show off in front of Zhong Chuyuan immediately, if given the chance, she even wanted Zhong Chuyuan to experience what happened in her previous life!
After Zhong Zao rested at home, Zhong Queyuan went to him to inquire about the Meng family's mother and daughter.After a few days of deep thinking, Zhong Zuo decided to send someone to bring Meng Shi back.
However, the carriage went and returned empty, and brought back Meng's words: "The Taoist temple is very good, since you have no intention of inviting me home, then don't bother me."
"She's taking Joe again!" Zhong Zuo said angrily.
Zhong Guan said: "It's better for the boy to welcome the mother and the others back!"
Zhong Zuo was very satisfied with his cleverness, and acquiesced in his going to pick him up.However, he failed to bring him back, and he even felt a little complicated: "Sister, she has bought dozens of acres of land outside the city, and she plans to buy a manor to live in."
Zhong Zao was furious: "Someone tie them back!"
Zhong Guan thought to himself, why is his master so confused?The fields in Luoyang are so expensive. Almost all the surrounding fields have been occupied by the rich and powerful. Zhong Qiyuan can buy dozens of acres of land. Can it be done with money?
Fortunately, he found out clearly, and said: "My sister bought the field from the eldest son, because my sister said that she wants to grow potatoes. Potatoes are very productive and can solve the problem of military rations."
Zhong Zao: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, his voice raised a lot: "What beans?"
"Potatoes, it is said that my sister brought them back from Lingnan, and before my sister set fire to the field, she just harvested a crop. There are thirty stones in an acre. However, these potatoes were all given to the Yun family, and the eldest son has sent someone to I went to Wangxian Township to collect seeds."
The most fertile rice field in an acre can produce five stones of rice, but this potato can produce six times the rice in an acre, no wonder the eldest son will get so many fields for Zhong Qiyuan without saying a word.
Although Wei Wang Shihong coerced the emperor to order the princes, there are still many military and self-respecting towns in the world who refuse to accept it. Not only did they not pay taxes, but they even asked the court for food and salaries.The king of Wei was not used to them, so he would inevitably raise troops, and whenever there was a war, the first thing to solve was the problem of food and grass.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhong Zuo is in charge of household registration and finance, and knows the demand and expenditure of food and grass best.Therefore, Zhong Qiyuan directly asked the eldest son to offer potatoes. If the problem of food and grass is really solved, it must be a great achievement.
After thinking about it, Zhong Zuo's mood was also very complicated.
He thought he could handle Zhong Qiyuan, but Zhong Qiyuan turned around and found a strong backer, who tricked him by the way. ——The eldest son Shi Xuanming, as the eldest son of Shi Hong, will definitely inherit the great position in the future. If the Zhong family can get in touch with him, it can be regarded as an investment.But after learning about his concubine and the third son Shi Xuanwei, and after receiving the olive branch thrown by Shi Xuanwei, but then it came out about the eldest son of the Zhong family, then he is not a human being inside and out.
It was already impossible to prevent Zhong Qiyuan from contacting Shi Xuanming. He could either draw a clear line with Zhong Qiyuan, or abandon Shi Xuanwei and seek refuge with Shi Xuanming, or he could simply bet on both sides.
Before he made up his mind, Zhong Qiyuan had already guessed his thoughts, so when she first contacted Shi Xuanming, she explained in advance: "Pimpedao is a monk. Although the common surname is Zhong, he has left the world and calmed down Inaction. Offering ideas to solve the problem of food and grass is only for the sake of the common people in the world, so the poor do not seek fame and wealth, but just want to practice quietly."
Shi Xuanming said: "I understand. I will donate these dozens of acres of land to the Taoist priest. After cultivating enough potatoes for seeding, the harvest of these dozens of acres of fields will be completely owned by the Taoist priest. And with me One day, I will be able to keep the Taoist priest quiet and worry-free for one day."
Afterwards, his subordinates asked him: "My lord, why don't you directly discuss with Zhong Shangshu in detail?"
Shi Xuanming hooked his lips and said: "Don't you understand? She has already drawn a clear line with Zhong Zuo, and she is helping me."
He said, his face darkened, "The third child has been in the limelight recently, spreading around saying that he has a lot of military exploits and has both civil and military skills. What about me? Although I was arranged by Aye to supervise the country, handle government affairs, and preside over the overall situation, who can see it?" See my credit? If I don't take the initiative to attack, I will be fished by the third child in the future."
In the past two years, Shi Xuanwei married the daughter of Marquis Du Yu, the bodyguard's personal army, and won a few more battles, and people praised him every day in front of Shi Hong.Shi Xuanming was overwhelmed by him everywhere, and he already felt dissatisfied in his heart.
He really needs a merit to fight against the third child so as to maintain his status as the eldest son.So when Zhong Qiyuan offered potatoes, he agreed to her request with little thought.
Since he chose to cooperate with Zhong Qiyuan, he needs to hang out with Zhong Zao.
When Zhong Zuo found out that Shi Xuanming hadn't asked anyone to contact him for a long time, and Shi Xuanwei had a grudge against him, he realized that the development of the matter was not as natural as he imagined.
After realizing that Mrs. Meng was determined not to cooperate with him, he put away his arrogance and went to Furongguan to find Mrs. Meng in person.
He observed Meng Shi, and found that Meng Shi was more dignified and generous. Compared with the petty Zhou Shi, she was more in line with the image of the head of the house.It's just that she was spoiled by Zhong Qiyuan, and instead of taking her husband as her guide, she allowed her daughter to fight against him everywhere!
Considering his interests, he could only swallow his anger, put down his body and admit his mistake: "It was my negligence that no one came to pick you up at the pier."
He still didn't forget to shake the pot, "But you are back, you should send someone to say something, I will definitely send someone to pick you up in time!"
Meng looked at him coldly.After he finished speaking, he said: "Oh, if you really wanted to, you shouldn't have forced us to come here, and you wouldn't have waited so many days to come to see us."
Just one sentence tore his hypocritical face.He has been waiting for them to give in and show weakness, but he has never treated them as independent people, let alone given them respect, and his arrogance and arrogance have been revealed in every word and deed.
For such a person, Meng Shi will never show mercy to him.
Zhong Zuo's eyes sank, and he threatened: "Do you think that in Luoyang, which is full of dignitaries, without my protection, you can have a good life? Don't think that offering some potatoes to the eldest son will win the favor of the king! Only men and Power is the foundation of your foothold, without both, you will be rejected sooner or later!"
Meng Shi smiled slightly: "Get lost."
Zhong Zuo left with a livid face, and clamored to divorce his wife when he returned.
The Meng family went to complain to Princess Wei: "Why should he divorce his wife? I still want to divorce my husband!"
Concubine Wei witnessed the past of this resentful couple who have been away from each other for many years. Every time they met, they would have conflicts and conflicts. She said: "Since you all want to divorce each other, let's make peace!"
According to the law of this dynasty, divorce is not punishable for couples, and even if the Meng family remarries, there will be no criticism.
Meng Shi said: "It's fine to reconcile, but the youngest daughter, Chuyuan, has to belong to me, and I took care of my in-laws back then without fault, so he still needs to compensate me for my dowry."
She and Zhong Zuo have been strangers for a long time, but Zhong Zuo has always been concerned about his reputation and dare not divorce his wife, so she is too lazy to propose a divorce.Now that Zhong Zuo is going to divorce his wife, she just happens to be able to occupy the moral high ground, fight for Zhong Chuyuan's custody, and get her dowry back.
When Zhong Zuo heard it, he regretted it a little.
But how could Zhong Queyuan let go of this good opportunity?She then used the fact that Zhong Qiyuan took refuge in Shi Xuanming to provoke Shi Xuanwei's jealousy, and let Shi Xuanwei secretly put pressure on Zhong Zao, forcing Zhong Zao to draw a line with the three Meng's mother and daughter.
Mrs. Zhou is also eyeing the position of the main wife, and the group of new beauties in his backyard are whispering all kinds of things beside his pillow.
Under their hard and soft tactics, coercion and temptation, Zhong Zao finally agreed to make peace with Meng Shi.
The Meng family was worried that after she reconciled with Zhong Zuo, Zhong Zao would mess up Zhong Chuyuan's family history, so on the grounds that the Meng family's heirs were weak and she was afraid that she would grow old and have nothing to depend on, she won Zhong Chuyuan to set up a separate female household with her.
Generally, when a couple divorces, the wife's family declines, and the wife has no support, the evening scene is considered to be bleak.But everyone found out that after Meng and Zhong Zao divorced, instead of crying and crying, they moved to a village under Lingshan, more than 30 miles southwest of Luoyang City, and lived a peaceful life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". .
How is this different from what you imagined?
By the way, all of this must have been faked by Meng Shi, she was not as happy as she showed!
people thought.
Then they ran into Meng Shi who was traveling hand in hand with Yunmu and Cong Wan in Lingshan. They laughed and laughed all the way, and there were maids and servants coming in and out, without any sadness.
On the contrary, when Zhong Zao was busy marrying his heir, it was revealed that his concubine Zhong Queyuan and Shi Xuanwei were giving and receiving privately.
As the third son of King Wei, Shi Xuanwei doesn't matter how many women he has in his backyard.But the problem is that although Zhong Queyuan is a concubine, she is also the concubine of a high-ranking doctor of the fourth rank and a high-ranking official from the official to the Ministry of Household Affairs.It is really degrading for them to give and receive in private without their parents making the decision.
Although everyone didn't criticize the young couple very much, Princess Wei was quite critical, thinking that Zhong Zuo's first wife, Meng Shi, wanted to reconcile with him first, and then his concubine daughter seduced his son. home question:
If Zhong Zao had been kinder to his wife back then, letting her take care of the house and teaching the children, instead of letting the concubine raise the children herself, he would not have raised such a shameless daughter as Zhong Queyuan!
Concubine Wei also asked Shi Xuanwei: "Why are you so foolish to get involved with such a woman?"
Princess Wei knew about Zhong Queyuan's backing of Shi Xuanwei since she was a child, but she saw that Shi Xuanwei knew how to measure and had never been too close to her, so she ignored it.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years, and he has forgotten his original position.
Shi Xuanwei's heart shuddered, and he knew that he had been complacent all these years, so he got carried away.In addition, Zhong Queyuan took the initiative to sacrifice himself, and he was not Liu Xiahui, so he took advantage of the situation to accept the other party.
Now that this matter has been exposed, if he does not accept Zhong Queyuan, it may damage his reputation. ——He already guessed that this matter was probably done by his elder brother, so even if his mother didn't like Zhong Queyuan, he still had to keep Zhong Queyuan by his side and watch her, so as not to give the other party another chance to attack.
Zhong Queyuan happily entered Shi Xuanwei's backyard, but Zhong Zao's face was full of sadness because of Wei Wangfei's words.
The author has something to say: Zhong villain: You have seen me all, you are mine.
From Moyu:? ? ?Is it the other way around?
Zhong Villain: You are mine now, so you can look at me?
From touching fish: ...

感谢灌溉营养液的小天使:逗比小蘑菇22瓶;花花草草也想你10瓶;换一个名字7瓶;花花世界、火山啊火山2瓶;寻旧1瓶;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Cong Wan smiled slightly, and her eyes fell on Zhong Qiyuan: "Well, my brother is back, and there is no one to serve my parents, so I want to go to Luoyang to take care of them."
Meng Shi and Zhong Chuyuan were very happy that they had Cong Wan as their companion on the road, but Zhong Qiyuan's eyes were intriguing.
Knowing that Cong Wan was here to monitor her, she was not angry, but came to Cong Wan's carriage and asked, "Our carriage is too small, would Miss Yun mind giving me a ride?"
Cong Wan glanced at the Zhong family's carriage. The two skinny horses could barely pull four hundred catties of goods. Meng Shi, Zhong Chuyuan and the coachman, plus some luggage, were just right. If there was another person squeezed, the two horses would I'm afraid it's overwhelmed.
She smiled and said, "Welcome."
Zhong Qiyuan got into Cong Wan's carriage, there was only one row of seats in the carriage, so she sat beside Cong Wan.
A familiar smell of herbs entered Cong Wan's nose, which she often smelled at Zhong's house, but at this moment, the smell of herbs was faint with a faint fragrance, which was obviously the fragrance of Zhong Qiyuan's body.
The carriage drove out slowly, and the wheels made the sound of rubbing against the axles, which was gradually amplified in this quiet carriage.
Cong Wan glanced at the potted potato that Zhong Qiyuan was holding, and asked, "Do I need to bring it?"
"I don't know when the task will be completed, and I will leave this world, so I naturally have to take it with me."
"You are confident that you can complete the task."
As soon as Wan Wan finished speaking, Zhong Qiyuan turned to look at her.
"What are you doing?" Wanxin whispered.
"This is the first time you've talked about missions."
Cong Wan knew that as an auditor, she should remain neutral, and it was best not to get involved.
In the past, she only audited the intern host and the system behind the scenes. She could neither contact the system nor discuss mission-related matters with the intern host.But now it is an unprecedented experience to go to the small world with the main body to perform tasks, and she didn't hold back for a while.
Zhong Qiyuan put the potted plant at his feet, clapped his hands to wipe off the dust, and leaned on the board behind him with his arms folded, showing her confidence to Congwan: "There are not many restrictions in this world, and it is not difficult to complete the task." .”
Cong Wan rolled her eyes: "But it's very difficult for you to settle down and not make trouble."
Zhong Qiyuan turned to look at her: "The auditor should be fair, how can he be preconceived? I have always followed the rules."
Cong Wan twitched the corner of her mouth: "..."
According to the system, although she used to be the host of the villain system, she did not violate the rules of the main god's space, but she also took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, so that the main god could neither kill her nor let her continue to perform tasks with peace of mind. She was exiled.
From a certain point of view, she does follow the rules, but this person really has no points in his heart.
Zhong Qiyuan stared at her with dangerous eyes: "Are you scolding me?"
Cong Wan was startled, but her face remained calm: "Did I scold you? Can the host slander people with empty teeth?"
Zhong Qiyuan said: "You don't need to speak, you are like this idiot system, you put everything in your heart on your face."
From Wan language plug.Was it shameless for her to be seen so easily by what she was thinking?
The system lying on the gun: "I am the idiot system, and you are the idiot host!"
"How old are you? Is it the first generation system? If not, you can also be compared with me?"
system:"……"
You really go out of your way to insult the system.
"Host, you are really annoying."
-
In view of the fact that Zhong Qiyuan and his party were not in a very urgent mood to arrive in Luoyang, the speed of the carriage was not fast, and they would stop to rest for an hour every hour or two.In this way, at dusk, the group of people just went from Fu county to neighboring county.
The neighboring county happened to be the government office of the state city, and there was a curfew at night, so they found a family residence to stay.
Although they were not short of money, they were reluctant to share a room with each other. Mrs. Meng planned to let her two daughters sleep on the bed, and she would lie on the table for the night.Seeing this, Congwan said, "Aunt Meng shares a room with Yuanyuan, let Sister Zhong come to my room!"
Zhong Qiyuan walked over with her potato potted plant in his arms, followed Cong Wan into the room, and said, "Do you need to keep an eye on it so closely?"
Cong Wan was stunned for a moment, realizing that this man thought he shared a room with her just to monitor her.
Kind-hearted as a donkey's liver and lungs!
Cong Wan raised her hand and opened the door: "Then you go to sleep with Aunt Meng, and Yuan Yuan will come here instead."
Zhong Qiyuan pressed down on the door frame, and closed the door back: "You can stare at it if you like, anyway, you've been staring at it for such a long time, one extra night is not much, and one less night is not too much."
Cong Wan rolled his eyes.Knowing that she likes to make up brains, but also worried that saying that she is passionate will make her angry, so she simply didn't explain.
But Zhong Qiyuan's brain supplement is not unreasonable.Although the fire didn't scare her, it also made her realize the danger of Zhong Qiyuan.
Zhong Qiyuan went to Luoyang aggressively this time, apparently to cause trouble, if she didn't keep an eye on it, it would be too late to rely on the system to report the news.
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Zhong Qiyuan again.
In the eyes of others, this person is "Zhong Qiyuan". His appearance combines Meng's soft facial features with Zhong's tough face. His temperament is indifferent and casual, unlike a person who acts harshly.
In her eyes, what Zhong Qiyuan showed was her original appearance.His facial features are three-dimensional, his cheekbones are slightly high, he looks cold and intellectual, his eyes are indifferent and a bit intimidating, and he doesn't look like someone who acts extreme.
Is it "a person should not be judged by his appearance" or did Zhong Qiyuan do such a violent thing after careful consideration?If the latter, what is the purpose?
Zhong Qiyuan watered the potato potted plants, then tore off the sash around his waist, and took off the Taoist robe. When he reached out to untie the belt of his middle coat, he suddenly raised his head to meet Cong Wan's gaze.
Because of her movements, Cong Wan's eyes moved from her face to her hands, and then fell to her waist.After a while, she came back to her senses, raised her eyes, and met Zhong Qiyuan's teasing eyes.
Cong Wan: "..., what are you doing?"
Zhong Qiyuan continued to untie his belt, and said while undressing: "Take off your clothes, you stared at me for so long, didn't you see it?"
Cong Wan was speechless.
Why do you make her sound like a pervert?She didn't mean that at all!
She asked again, "Why are you undressing?"
"Take a shower and go to bed, or do you think I undressed to seduce you?"
Cong Wan: "..."
She blushed and turned away: "Why do you always speak so obscenely?"
"I'm talking dirty. Is it okay for you to stare at me while I'm undressing?"
Cong Wanzi thought that she acted upright and upright, and being so slandered by Zhong Qiyuan, she became a little annoyed: "You! I didn't mean it, who made you so sudden, I don't know what to say."
"How many times has the aunt who brought the water been in and out? You covet my beauty, but you didn't notice it when you wandered too far away. You still blame me for being too charming?"
Congwan found that the more he talked, the more he couldn't make sense, so he turned on the bed angrily, turned his back to her and refused to look at her.
"I've suffered a loss and I'm not angry yet. Why are you angry?" Zhong Qiyuan muttered, took off his clothes and went behind the screen to take a bath.
Congwan heard the sound of dripping water not far away, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.This is her room, she kindly took Zhong Qiyuan in, why is this person so ignorant, if he wants to take a bath, he should wash it first, right? !
Thinking of this, she turned over and got out of bed, and quickly walked around behind the screen.Just when he was about to speak, he saw Zhong Qiyuan's arm resting on the edge of the bathtub, and that person was soaking in the hot water with a satisfied face, like a hot spring in a resort.
System: "Wow, the host has C! Although it is 70C."
Cong Wan: "..."
Why is the system so dirty?
"Fake, she used silicone!"
system:"……"
Zhong Qiyuan opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "I can't beat me, the more I think about it, the more depressed I get, so I regroup and prepare to fight me again?"
Cong Wan said: "I'm thousands of years old, so I won't be as childish as you!"
She poked her head to look at the bathtub. It was long and flat, just enough for a person to lie down and stretch his legs. Although the two of them were a bit reluctant, she and Zhong Qiyuan were neither fat nor unable to squeeze.
She declared forcefully: "This is the room I paid to live in, and I should wash it first if I want to take a shower."
Zhong Qiyuan could tell that Cong Wan was serious.
"I didn't stop you from washing, but if you don't mind that I've already soaked here, then you can come in!" She shrank her legs and gave up the remaining half of the bucket.
In fact, after Cong Wan finished speaking, she regretted a little, especially after seeing Zhong Qiyuan's big movements, her face turned red and hot.
She thought she was blushing from anger, but she didn't dare to move her eyes at all, and her heart beat faster, as if her blood was boiling.Only then did she realize that she was not angry, it was clearly because she realized that she had seen all of Zhong Qiyuan, and she felt ashamed.
She turned and went back to bed.
Just lay down, let the cold wind blow for a while and calm down again.Sitting up from the bed again: "I have what she has, am I ashamed?!"
The system said: "It's still different, she is 70C, you are B."
The professional and experienced auditor never broke the defense: "Fuck off."
She stood in front of Zhong Qiyuan again without changing her expression.
Zhong Qiyuan: "..."
She asked the system: "The auditor is crazy, is there any remedy?"
System: "No."
"You also think the auditor is crazy?"
Suddenly reacting, Zhong Qiyuan dug a hole and waited for the system he jumped to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Cong Wan took a deep breath, her expression resolute, as if she was going to the battlefield.
Zhong Qiyuan said: "You go back and forth, it doesn't seem like you want to take a bath, but you seem to be struggling to see if I want to take a bath. Are you going to do something to me who is not naked?"
Cong Wan staggered and almost fell, she held on to the edge of the tub, gave Zhong Qiyuan a vicious look, and hurriedly went to find the maidservant of Yun's family: "Let the mansion store prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
Zhong Qiyuan washed his face, got out of the cold water, put on clean clothes, and lay down early to rest.
No matter how spacious and comfortable the Yun family's carriage was, it was still inferior to modern vehicles in terms of shock absorption. After sitting in the carriage for so long, her body was as strong as hers, and her bones were about to fall apart.
When I came back from Wanwan, I saw her lying on the bed like a salted fish—even if she took a bath, she was still a clean salted fish—and immediately became out of breath: "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor."
Zhong Qiyuan remained motionless: "This bed is so big, just squeeze it."
"The carriage will be crowded, the bathtub will be crowded, and the bed will also be crowded. Do you think I'm not watching you closely enough?"
"Isn't this just convenient for you to monitor me at close range!" Zhong Qiyuan turned over and rolled to the inner side of the bed, hugging the quilt and pretending to be asleep.
Cong Wan gritted her teeth in anger, but she still couldn't do such a rough thing as fighting with her, so she could only swallow her anger.
After she took a shower and turned to bed, she unceremoniously pulled all the quilt over to cover it.Zhong Qiyuan didn't respond, as if he was asleep.
Cong Wan looked at her, and felt a strange feeling, it was the first time they slept together in the same bed, but she felt her sleeping face in her heart, and she had seen it many times.
Just like when she saw Zhong Qiyuan for the first time back then, there was a tinge of joy in her heart for no reason.She thought she was happy that she could touch fish on a business trip, but now that she thought about it, it was more like she was happy about Zhong Qiyuan's appearance.
Thinking, thinking, she doesn't seem to be so angry with Zhong Qiyuan anymore.
After waking up from sleep, Zhong Chuyuan happily proposed to visit Zhoucheng.It happened that Zhong Qiyuan planned to change the land route to a water route, and followed the official ship of the water transport to Luoyang along the canal north, and the official ship would take two days to leave, so they had to stay in Zhoucheng for a while, so Zhong Chuyuan pulled Then Congwan wandered around.
Two days later, they packed their bags and went to the pier outside the city to board the boat.
In order to reach Luoyang in time, the water transport boats rarely stopped halfway, so they arrived in Luoyang within a month.
The servants of the Yun family had been waiting at the pier early on. Since they were not sure when they would arrive, they would send people to wait every day.Instead, the Zhong family sent people to take a look at it every now and then. When Zhong Qiyuan and the others arrived, there were no servants of the Zhong family on the pier.
Luoyang's wharf is still some distance away from Luoyang City, so Cong Wan said to his servant: "Go and prepare two more carriages, and take Aunt Meng and the others back to Zhong's house."
Instead, Zhong Qiyuan stopped her and said, "No need, let's go to the Taoist temple to settle down."
Zhong Chuyuan also nodded: "The last time my sister and I lived in the Taoist temple, we are familiar with it!"
Looking from Wan to Meng Shi, the latter just nodded.
Cong Wanxin thought, Zhong Zao probably already knew about Zhong Qiyuan setting fire to the fields, and he was probably still angry with Zhong Qiyuan at the moment, or thought that the mother and daughter would rush to him to lie down make small.
Unexpectedly, their counterattack had just begun.
She smiled and said, "I'll have someone take you to the Taoist temple. If you don't feel comfortable living there, you can come to Yun's house."
Meng Shi did not refuse her kindness.
Not long after they settled down in Furong Temple in the south of Luoyang City, Zhong Zao also received the news that the mother and daughter had arrived in Luoyang.
He was in a mixed mood, he wanted to hurry up to show off his power in front of them and see their faces that were afraid of him, but he also hated seeing them.
After the appointment, he didn't go back right away. He happened to be invited to a banquet by an official, so he gladly accepted the invitation. He didn't go back until it was almost curfew time with his new beauty in his arms.
Waiting for him to come back, Mrs. Zhou wanted to tell him that the mother and daughter of the Meng family did not come to the Zhong family, but stayed in the Taoist temple instead, but he dismissed him impatiently before he could say anything.
Because the hegemonic act of King Wei massacred the important officials of the old family in Chang'an and forced the emperor to move to Luoyang, the people in Luoyang were panicked. All the families were afraid that they would become the next batch of dead souls, so they expressed their loyalty to King Wei.
Some people are also eager to win over the upstarts who have taken refuge in the confidants of the new king of Wei. Zhong Zao, the former secretary of the king of Wei and now the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, has become one of their goals.
They gave money and beauties, although Zhong Zao didn't dare to accept bribes blatantly, but he never refused those beauties.
With so many beauties in the backyard, Zhou, who was originally the most favored, gradually lost color under the comparison of these beauties.So at the moment Zhong Zao is having fun, he can't even think of Mrs. Zhou, let alone Mrs. Meng whom he hates.
The next day, he got up early to go to court.When the court was over, it suddenly occurred to me that Mrs. Meng didn't seem to show up last night or this morning.
Before he could send someone back to ask, he met Yun Ding.
He greeted Yun Ding, and Yun Ding said a few polite words to him, then turned his head and left.
Zhong Zao was dissatisfied, and felt that since Yun Ding had a large army in his hand, he was becoming less and less important to him.
At this time, Shi Xuanwei came over: "Zhong Shangshu."
Zhong Zuo replied respectfully: "Third Young Master."
Shi Xuanwei's gaze on him was a bit strange, he was a little uncomfortable, so he asked: "But what's wrong with the lower official?"
Shi Xuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "No, I just want to say that the relationship between Zhong Shangshu and Yun Tongjun seems to be very close."
Zhong Zuo was at a loss, how did he see that they were close?
Shi Xuanwei said again, "After all, the Jun Jun visited Yun's house as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, which shows the close relationship between the two families. It's just..."
Zhong Zuo's rank official is a Zhengyi doctor of the fourth grade. As his wife, he ordered his wife to be the county monarch, so the "junjun" Shi Xuanwei said was the Meng family.
Zhong Zuo didn't have time to think about it, he thought about it, and quickly asked: "But what?"
"The Jun Jun is really gentle, virtuous, and kind. The reason why she lived in the Taoist temple with the two Taoist priests is because she can't worry about the two Taoist priests, right?!"
Zhong Zuo finally knew what he had overlooked from yesterday to today.
The Meng family did not live in the Zhong family's mansion with a shy face as he imagined, nor did he obediently wait to apologize to him, let alone try to curry favor with him, but took his daughter to live in the Taoist temple without saying a word.
And after living in the Taoist temple, she didn't think about going back to Zhong's house to see him, but went to visit Yun's house first.
Where does this put his face? !
No wonder Yun Ding and Shi Xuanwei's eyes are so strange, Yun Ding doesn't take him seriously at all, but just belittles and despises him!
As for Shi Xuanwei, he was definitely not really curious about his relationship with the Yun family, but reminded himself in a disguised form that he was ashamed and thrown at his grandma's house!
He didn't know how to answer, so he could only respond with a few vague words.
After Shi Xuanwei left, he immediately sent someone home to find out what was going on.During this period, some colleagues who did not deal with him openly praised and criticized this matter when they mentioned it. He could not get angry in the public and could only sulk.
An hour later, the person who inquired about the news came back and said: "The mistress did not live in the house, she lives in Furong Temple with the young lady."
Zhong Zao was furious: "What does she mean?"
The man wondered: "The mistress doesn't seem to know where Zhong's house is, and there is no one to greet her at the pier. Just as the little lady wants to live in the Taoist temple, the mistress follows her in."
Zhong Zuo choked.
It was impossible for him to admit that he wanted to give Meng Shi a bad name, so he didn't let the servants go to the dock to wait every day.
So he shifted the responsibility to the steward.When he returned home, he angrily reprimanded the steward and the Zhou family: "The servants of the Yun family are waiting at the pier every day. From morning to night, how do you do things? Just let the Yun family see our jokes!"
I saw Mrs. Zhou crying pitifully for a while in front of him, and he softened his heart, but the manager was not so lucky.Zhong Zao is very powerful now, in order to warn others, the steward was kicked out of Zhong's house.
Seeing such a big and fat vacancy, Mrs. Zhou proposed to let her cousin fill it.
Zhong Zuo was still angry, and said: "Is it time to discuss who should be the insider? It is the right thing to let the Meng family come back earlier! Why don't you tell me that the Meng family is going to live in a Taoist temple, and I will be in the same office today as a colleague?" Lost face in front of him."
Mrs. Zhou felt aggrieved, and Zhong Zao didn't bother to listen to her justification, so he went straight to the young and beautiful woman's place to spend the night.
Mrs. Zhou went to Zhong Queyuan to cry, but her daughter, who used to be very well-behaved in front of her, was very impatient now: "Miss, you should know that Aye is in a high position now, and the teenage beauties around him are so tender How do you compare with them when you pinch the water? If you have a little self-awareness, you will know that you need to change your strategy in order to keep your position in Aye's heart."
Mrs. Zhou was very angry, but she also knew that what she said made sense, so she asked: "Then what should I do? Mrs. Meng and her two daughters have also returned..."
Zhong Queyuan was startled: "They're back?!"
Mrs. Zhou scolded: "They came back the day before yesterday! You surround the third young master every day, and your thoughts are all on men, and you don't even care about what happened at home!"
Zhong Queyuan was relieved when she found out that they didn't go home after they came back, but went to the Taoist temple, and made Zhong Zuo's face look down, and said, "What are you afraid of? The more they fight against Aye, the more Aye will become." Don't like them, they can't take away what belongs to us!"
Now that she has cooked rice with Shi Xuanwei, she will be a proper concubine when Shi Xuanwei ascends the throne as emperor.With Shi Xuanwei's current enthusiasm for her and her background, it is a bit difficult to be a concubine, but it is definitely no problem for her to become one of the "Nine Concubines".
And Zhong Chuyuan became a monk and had no chance to marry and have children, so she won this battle no matter how you look at it!
Now that the Meng family's mother and daughter are rejected by Zhong Zao, Zhong Queyuan can imagine how difficult and desolate Zhong Chuyuan's situation is.She was very excited and wanted to show off in front of Zhong Chuyuan immediately, if given the chance, she even wanted Zhong Chuyuan to experience what happened in her previous life!
After Zhong Zao rested at home, Zhong Queyuan went to him to inquire about the Meng family's mother and daughter.After a few days of deep thinking, Zhong Zuo decided to send someone to bring Meng Shi back.
However, the carriage went and returned empty, and brought back Meng's words: "The Taoist temple is very good, since you have no intention of inviting me home, then don't bother me."
"She's taking Joe again!" Zhong Zuo said angrily.
Zhong Guan said: "It's better for the boy to welcome the mother and the others back!"
Zhong Zuo was very satisfied with his cleverness, and acquiesced in his going to pick him up.However, he failed to bring him back, and he even felt a little complicated: "Sister, she has bought dozens of acres of land outside the city, and she plans to buy a manor to live in."
Zhong Zao was furious: "Someone tie them back!"
Zhong Guan thought to himself, why is his master so confused?The fields in Luoyang are so expensive. Almost all the surrounding fields have been occupied by the rich and powerful. Zhong Qiyuan can buy dozens of acres of land. Can it be done with money?
Fortunately, he found out clearly, and said: "My sister bought the field from the eldest son, because my sister said that she wants to grow potatoes. Potatoes are very productive and can solve the problem of military rations."
Zhong Zao: "..."
He was stunned for a moment, his voice raised a lot: "What beans?"
"Potatoes, it is said that my sister brought them back from Lingnan, and before my sister set fire to the field, she just harvested a crop. There are thirty stones in an acre. However, these potatoes were all given to the Yun family, and the eldest son has sent someone to I went to Wangxian Township to collect seeds."
The most fertile rice field in an acre can produce five stones of rice, but this potato can produce six times the rice in an acre, no wonder the eldest son will get so many fields for Zhong Qiyuan without saying a word.
Although Wei Wang Shihong coerced the emperor to order the princes, there are still many military and self-respecting towns in the world who refuse to accept it. Not only did they not pay taxes, but they even asked the court for food and salaries.The king of Wei was not used to them, so he would inevitably raise troops, and whenever there was a war, the first thing to solve was the problem of food and grass.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Zhong Zuo is in charge of household registration and finance, and knows the demand and expenditure of food and grass best.Therefore, Zhong Qiyuan directly asked the eldest son to offer potatoes. If the problem of food and grass is really solved, it must be a great achievement.
After thinking about it, Zhong Zuo's mood was also very complicated.
He thought he could handle Zhong Qiyuan, but Zhong Qiyuan turned around and found a strong backer, who tricked him by the way. ——The eldest son Shi Xuanming, as the eldest son of Shi Hong, will definitely inherit the great position in the future. If the Zhong family can get in touch with him, it can be regarded as an investment.But after learning about his concubine and the third son Shi Xuanwei, and after receiving the olive branch thrown by Shi Xuanwei, but then it came out about the eldest son of the Zhong family, then he is not a human being inside and out.
It was already impossible to prevent Zhong Qiyuan from contacting Shi Xuanming. He could either draw a clear line with Zhong Qiyuan, or abandon Shi Xuanwei and seek refuge with Shi Xuanming, or he could simply bet on both sides.
Before he made up his mind, Zhong Qiyuan had already guessed his thoughts, so when she first contacted Shi Xuanming, she explained in advance: "Pimpedao is a monk. Although the common surname is Zhong, he has left the world and calmed down Inaction. Offering ideas to solve the problem of food and grass is only for the sake of the common people in the world, so the poor do not seek fame and wealth, but just want to practice quietly."
Shi Xuanming said: "I understand. I will donate these dozens of acres of land to the Taoist priest. After cultivating enough potatoes for seeding, the harvest of these dozens of acres of fields will be completely owned by the Taoist priest. And with me One day, I will be able to keep the Taoist priest quiet and worry-free for one day."
Afterwards, his subordinates asked him: "My lord, why don't you directly discuss with Zhong Shangshu in detail?"
Shi Xuanming hooked his lips and said: "Don't you understand? She has already drawn a clear line with Zhong Zuo, and she is helping me."
He said, his face darkened, "The third child has been in the limelight recently, spreading around saying that he has a lot of military exploits and has both civil and military skills. What about me? Although I was arranged by Aye to supervise the country, handle government affairs, and preside over the overall situation, who can see it?" See my credit? If I don't take the initiative to attack, I will be fished by the third child in the future."
In the past two years, Shi Xuanwei married the daughter of Marquis Du Yu, the bodyguard's personal army, and won a few more battles, and people praised him every day in front of Shi Hong.Shi Xuanming was overwhelmed by him everywhere, and he already felt dissatisfied in his heart.
He really needs a merit to fight against the third child so as to maintain his status as the eldest son.So when Zhong Qiyuan offered potatoes, he agreed to her request with little thought.
Since he chose to cooperate with Zhong Qiyuan, he needs to hang out with Zhong Zao.
When Zhong Zuo found out that Shi Xuanming hadn't asked anyone to contact him for a long time, and Shi Xuanwei had a grudge against him, he realized that the development of the matter was not as natural as he imagined.
After realizing that Mrs. Meng was determined not to cooperate with him, he put away his arrogance and went to Furongguan to find Mrs. Meng in person.
He observed Meng Shi, and found that Meng Shi was more dignified and generous. Compared with the petty Zhou Shi, she was more in line with the image of the head of the house.It's just that she was spoiled by Zhong Qiyuan, and instead of taking her husband as her guide, she allowed her daughter to fight against him everywhere!
Considering his interests, he could only swallow his anger, put down his body and admit his mistake: "It was my negligence that no one came to pick you up at the pier."
He still didn't forget to shake the pot, "But you are back, you should send someone to say something, I will definitely send someone to pick you up in time!"
Meng looked at him coldly.After he finished speaking, he said: "Oh, if you really wanted to, you shouldn't have forced us to come here, and you wouldn't have waited so many days to come to see us."
Just one sentence tore his hypocritical face.He has been waiting for them to give in and show weakness, but he has never treated them as independent people, let alone given them respect, and his arrogance and arrogance have been revealed in every word and deed.
For such a person, Meng Shi will never show mercy to him.
Zhong Zuo's eyes sank, and he threatened: "Do you think that in Luoyang, which is full of dignitaries, without my protection, you can have a good life? Don't think that offering some potatoes to the eldest son will win the favor of the king! Only men and Power is the foundation of your foothold, without both, you will be rejected sooner or later!"
Meng Shi smiled slightly: "Get lost."
Zhong Zuo left with a livid face, and clamored to divorce his wife when he returned.
The Meng family went to complain to Princess Wei: "Why should he divorce his wife? I still want to divorce my husband!"
Concubine Wei witnessed the past of this resentful couple who have been away from each other for many years. Every time they met, they would have conflicts and conflicts. She said: "Since you all want to divorce each other, let's make peace!"
According to the law of this dynasty, divorce is not punishable for couples, and even if the Meng family remarries, there will be no criticism.
Meng Shi said: "It's fine to reconcile, but the youngest daughter, Chuyuan, has to belong to me, and I took care of my in-laws back then without fault, so he still needs to compensate me for my dowry."
She and Zhong Zuo have been strangers for a long time, but Zhong Zuo has always been concerned about his reputation and dare not divorce his wife, so she is too lazy to propose a divorce.Now that Zhong Zuo is going to divorce his wife, she just happens to be able to occupy the moral high ground, fight for Zhong Chuyuan's custody, and get her dowry back.
When Zhong Zuo heard it, he regretted it a little.
But how could Zhong Queyuan let go of this good opportunity?She then used the fact that Zhong Qiyuan took refuge in Shi Xuanming to provoke Shi Xuanwei's jealousy, and let Shi Xuanwei secretly put pressure on Zhong Zao, forcing Zhong Zao to draw a line with the three Meng's mother and daughter.
Mrs. Zhou is also eyeing the position of the main wife, and the group of new beauties in his backyard are whispering all kinds of things beside his pillow.
Under their hard and soft tactics, coercion and temptation, Zhong Zao finally agreed to make peace with Meng Shi.
The Meng family was worried that after she reconciled with Zhong Zuo, Zhong Zao would mess up Zhong Chuyuan's family history, so on the grounds that the Meng family's heirs were weak and she was afraid that she would grow old and have nothing to depend on, she won Zhong Chuyuan to set up a separate female household with her.
Generally, when a couple divorces, the wife's family declines, and the wife has no support, the evening scene is considered to be bleak.But everyone found out that after Meng and Zhong Zao divorced, instead of crying and crying, they moved to a village under Lingshan, more than 30 miles southwest of Luoyang City, and lived a peaceful life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". .
How is this different from what you imagined?
By the way, all of this must have been faked by Meng Shi, she was not as happy as she showed!
people thought.
Then they ran into Meng Shi who was traveling hand in hand with Yunmu and Cong Wan in Lingshan. They laughed and laughed all the way, and there were maids and servants coming in and out, without any sadness.
On the contrary, when Zhong Zao was busy marrying his heir, it was revealed that his concubine Zhong Queyuan and Shi Xuanwei were giving and receiving privately.
As the third son of King Wei, Shi Xuanwei doesn't matter how many women he has in his backyard.But the problem is that although Zhong Queyuan is a concubine, she is also the concubine of a high-ranking doctor of the fourth rank and a high-ranking official from the official to the Ministry of Household Affairs.It is really degrading for them to give and receive in private without their parents making the decision.
Although everyone didn't criticize the young couple very much, Princess Wei was quite critical, thinking that Zhong Zuo's first wife, Meng Shi, wanted to reconcile with him first, and then his concubine daughter seduced his son. home question:
If Zhong Zao had been kinder to his wife back then, letting her take care of the house and teaching the children, instead of letting the concubine raise the children herself, he would not have raised such a shameless daughter as Zhong Queyuan!
Concubine Wei also asked Shi Xuanwei: "Why are you so foolish to get involved with such a woman?"
Princess Wei knew about Zhong Queyuan's backing of Shi Xuanwei since she was a child, but she saw that Shi Xuanwei knew how to measure and had never been too close to her, so she ignored it.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years, and he has forgotten his original position.
Shi Xuanwei's heart shuddered, and he knew that he had been complacent all these years, so he got carried away.In addition, Zhong Queyuan took the initiative to sacrifice himself, and he was not Liu Xiahui, so he took advantage of the situation to accept the other party.
Now that this matter has been exposed, if he does not accept Zhong Queyuan, it may damage his reputation. ——He already guessed that this matter was probably done by his elder brother, so even if his mother didn't like Zhong Queyuan, he still had to keep Zhong Queyuan by his side and watch her, so as not to give the other party another chance to attack.
Zhong Queyuan happily entered Shi Xuanwei's backyard, but Zhong Zao's face was full of sadness because of Wei Wangfei's words.
The author has something to say: Zhong villain: You have seen me all, you are mine.
From Moyu:? ? ?Is it the other way around?
Zhong Villain: You are mine now, so you can look at me?
From touching fish: ...
