Soon, Wei Yan and Fu Juren came back.
As soon as the two entered the door, they found that the atmosphere in the room was not right.Because Wei Yan was not familiar with Fu's family, so he didn't have a deep impression of it. He only thought that Fu Li had a conflict with them.But seeing that Fu Li had a smile on his face, he didn't seem to be being bullied, so he raised his eyebrows and walked to her side, not paying attention to the abnormal atmosphere in the room at all.
Fu Juren was quite shocked, because he knew both his mother and his wife quite well.The mother is domineering and domineering, and never takes her sister seriously. As soon as she meets her, it immediately becomes a disaster. Not only does she speak bad words to her, but her temper is even more explosive than usual.
But at this time, the mother was sitting in the corner with a small bench, far away from her sister, and occasionally looked at her, although there was still a bit of resentment, more of it was fear, and she couldn't avoid it.
It seemed as if he had just been out for such a short while, and my sister had become a big person who could not be provoked in the mother's heart.
Although the elder sister is indeed, didn't the mother always think that the elder sister was her daughter, and no matter how high her status was, she couldn't escape her control?
And his wife has always been virtuous and cautious, and she mostly swallows her anger when facing her mother. As long as her mother doesn't do too much, she will only endure it.
But now, she was sitting very close to her elder sister. Although she could see that her expression was unnatural, and she kept stopping the two children from approaching her elder sister, her expression was much calmer.Even if the mother sat so far away, she never cared half a minute.
Fu Juren was very upset: "..."
After a pause, he entered the door and walked directly to Fu's mother, looking down at her: "Mother, why are you sitting here?"
Mother Fu turned her head to look at her son and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to complain, but her eyes touched the Fu Li couple sitting next to each other, she just glared at them angrily and then looked away: "It's okay Son, I'd rather sit here and do your work."
Fu Juren looked at Fu's mother in surprise, and seemed to want to talk, but was called by his wife: "Dingwei Hou and Mrs. Hou went home, but there is nothing to entertain at home, you take a few taels of silver and go to the street to buy some. My mother and I will make some more food, so that we won't be too shabby and treat our guests badly when we have lunch later."
Fu Juren was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly: "There is really nothing good in the house, it's because I didn't think carefully. I'll go right away!"
After speaking, he turned and went back to his room, and soon came out with a money bag.
He walked up to Fu Li and the two of them, bowed his hands to Wei Yan, and then said: "The family keeps a filial piety, and there is nothing good left. You just wait at home for a while. The Zhao family's lo mei shop is not bad. I'll come as I go."
Fu Li turned his head and glanced at Wei Yan, seeing him nodding his head, he said, "Don't worry, we'll leave after lunch."
Fu Juren felt relieved, turned around and ran out of the house.
Wei Yan actually felt a little strange in his heart. After all, he could see Fu Li's dislike for the Fu family. Even if he had a better impression of Fu Juren's younger brother, it was not as good as his dislike for Fu's mother.He originally thought that Fu Li would insist on leaving Fu's house before lunch, but he didn't expect that after asking his opinion, she actually chose to stay.
Fu Li smiled at him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I didn't want to stay before because I was worried that my mother would talk nonsense during dinner, and it would be bad if it made you unhappy. We are newlyweds, It’s better to be happy every day.”
Chinese people have such a habit, they like to chat at the dinner table the most, if Fu's mother has any thoughts about Wei Yan, she will definitely say it at the dinner table.
And what she said will definitely make her and Wei Yan feel unhappy.
Since the meal was destined to be unpleasant and unable to finish, she had better take Wei Yan away as soon as possible.
However, after that incident happened before, I think Mother Fu's attitude towards the couple has become much more cautious. In a short period of time, at least it is impossible to talk nonsense at the risk of offending her.
Now that there is no hidden worry, why doesn't she stay for dinner?
Wei Yan insisted on coming back to Fu's house, isn't it just for the sake of her reputation?If you leave your mother's house without finishing lunch, your reputation will also be affected.
And staying here would make Fu's mother unhappy, so why not do it?
Wei Yan turned his head to meet Fu Li's sly eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "It's good. But since I decided to stay, shouldn't the carriage driver take off the return gift from the carriage?"
Fu Li glanced at Fu's mother who listened with her ears open after hearing the "returning ceremony", the corners of her mouth curled up, and she turned to look at Fu Juren's wife: "Which room are you and my brother's room? I asked the carriage driver to unload the things to your room. The homecoming gifts I brought back are not bad. There are many for my brother and two children, and some for you. You remember to keep them all. If you use If you don’t get it, you sell it directly, and the money you get is good whether it’s for your family or for your two children to study.”
Fu Juren's wife froze for a moment, then nodded: "I can save it."
After the coachman put all the things in the carriage into the room, she took the people and put the things in her room one by one, leaving none of them for Fu's mother.
Seeing this scene, Mother Fu stared at Fu Li and her daughter-in-law angrily, but dared not say a word.
Soon, Fu Juren bought a lot of lo mei and came back.
Because his family members are observing filial piety, most of the lo mei he bought are vegetarian dishes, and there are only one or two meat dishes, and they are all placed in front of the Fu Li couple during the meal.The two children wanted to pinch, but Fu Juren and his wife beat each other with chopsticks.
After a pleasant meal, Fu Li got into the carriage and returned to Dingweihou Mansion soon after eating.
Back at the mansion, Fu Li thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Wei Yan: "I know a lot about the situation in the mansion, and the moths have been cleaned up, so I just need to adjust the rules of the mansion, etc. Then I can be free. At that time, I may have to go out of the house to prepare for my branch in the capital, and I may not be at home during the day."
Wei Yan knew Fu Li's purpose of going to Beijing early in the morning, so he nodded in response: "You just go ahead and do it, I fully support it."
Fu Li laughed: "You support? You are a busy person with no skills, what support can you give me?"
Wei Yan thought for a while: "On the day of opening, I will bring a few colleagues to your store to book a reservation? A room full of ministers with rank three or above should be able to add some reputation to your branch?"
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "If you can really attract a roomful of officials of the third grade and above to join the store on the opening day, let alone a little reputation, my store might be said to be famous. There are delicious delicacies in the sky, and I am afraid that I will start preparing for a branch soon.”
Wei Yan's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Isn't that good?"
Fu Li paused, and then stared at him: "You don't really plan to take your colleagues to the store to book a reservation on the day of my new store's opening, do you?" No." The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she even felt a little headache, "The store I opened is called the Zhougong Food Chain Store. There are actually many branches below, you should know?"
Wei Yan nodded. Before he got married, he paid a lot of attention to Fu Li. How could he not know that the famous Zhou Gong gourmet chain restaurant actually has many branches such as noodle restaurant, Chuanchuanxiang restaurant, Malatang restaurant, and hot pot restaurant?
Fu Li saw that he didn't seem to realize what was wrong, so he said helplessly: "But the prices of those restaurants are all very cheap, except for hot pot, if you take your colleagues to eat in other restaurants, even if you order the most expensive food, It costs at most one or two taels of silver to fill up your belly. Don't you think that such a shop is not upscale for your colleagues?"
It doesn't matter if you go to these shops for entertainment by yourself, but it's not good to come to her shop to treat guests, or invite a group of powerful people to eat?Why should people be invited to a high-end and elegant place like Zuixiang Tower?
Wei Yan just asked: "If I really invite people to the store, will it be good for you to open a store in the capital?"
you still need to ask?
Fu Li nodded: "The benefits are great, but..."
"Then it's no problem," Wei Yan said with a smile in his eyes, "I know you are thinking of me, and you are worried that I will offend my colleagues if I treat guests in your shop, but these are all small problems. You forgot? You But my wife who is currently married to Ming Media, if I invite my colleagues to dinner in my restaurant, they will gossip, so as not to rise to the point of offending. Besides, if you are really worried, why not open a hot pot restaurant in the capital first? Make it more luxurious, and set the price of food in the store to be more expensive, it’s fine.”
Fu Li cast a sideways glance at Wei Yan, and laughed, "I never thought you would have the potential to be a profiteer."
After thinking about it, he nodded, "Then open a hot pot restaurant first and buy a two-story building. The decoration on the first floor is the same as before, and the decoration on the second floor is more luxurious, and then let people get some fresh and expensive ingredients. It won't make you lose face. But there is no need to book the venue, you can just invite one or two ministers with good relations, don't make too much of a sensation, after all, the gun hits the head."
Wei Yan also knew that Fu Li was his wife, and her words and deeds were always watched by others. Although it was good to make a big splash, it was not as safe as a slow development.
After the two discussed it properly, they went to the two old people to pay their respects.
The old lady smiled kindly: "Do your family still like the gifts I prepared for you?"
Fu Li followed with a smile: "Old lady, your vision is really good, and the gifts you choose for your daughter-in-law's family are thoughtful, whether it is enlightening books and educational toys for the two children, or the Four Treasures of the Study for the younger brother, and the gift for the younger sister-in-law. They all liked all kinds of cloth and hairpin jewelry very much. My younger brother and sister-in-law are adults, no matter how happy they are, they are still reserved, but after receiving the gifts, the two children jumped up from the ground directly, jumping like crazy. They were three feet tall, so they took presents and ran to the neighbors’ houses to show off on the spot, but it gave them a big face, so they will have more weight when speaking among their friends in the future.”
It is obviously a very gratifying thing for the gift you choose to be liked by others.
The old lady was naturally unavoidable, so after listening to Fu Li's words, she was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes. But after the fun, she noticed something: "Why don't my mother-in-law like the gift I chose?"
The old lady actually knew about the strange relationship between Fu Li and his family, but because everyone in the Fu family except Fu Li, a married woman, was keeping their filial piety, before Fu Li and Wei Yan got married, the parents of the two parties had no chance to sit together get along.The old lady didn't know Fu's mother's temperament, so she naturally thought that there was still room for relaxation between Fu Li and the Fu family.
Fu Li said with a smile: "My mother loves the junior. Although she is very happy with the gift you sent, she still reluctantly parted with it and distributed everything to the junior. She didn't keep any of it."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "She has a bad temper. Even if she likes juniors, she should keep one or two for herself. I still have a lot of things suitable for her age in my warehouse, otherwise you can find someone Chance, get some for your mother?"
Fu Li hurriedly stopped: "Old lady, if I take something from your warehouse to give to my mother, if word spreads,
Didn't I become a white-eyed wolf who moved the good things of my husband's family to my mother's house?If it gets out, my reputation will not be heard.Don't worry, I gave my mother a lot of money for self-defense before. If she really likes something, she can buy it with the money in her hand. If she can't, she can find my daughter.My younger brother is pure and filial. Sometimes he wrongs himself, or his wife and children have to meet the mother's requirements, and he will never wrong her. "
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly: "It's just that I have too many things."
Fu Li hurriedly explained: "Old lady, I know you care about me, how could it be troublesome?"
Wei Yan watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking back and forth, and thought it was very interesting, so he didn't interrupt.Now that he heard this, he echoed Fu Li and said, "Mother is overthinking. When Madam left the house in the morning, she saw that you had prepared so many homecoming ceremonies for her. I don't know how grateful she is. She doesn't think you are too troublesome." Son, I even wish you would care about her again."
The old lady just laughed.
She laughed, and the old man who was also sitting beside her watching the play also laughed.
The next day, Fu Li called all the famous stewards in the mansion to the yard, beat Wei Xin, Niu Da and the others, and then gave everyone a sweet date: "I also know that this person who stole corruption Things cannot be easily stopped, so I thought of another way. In the future, I will double the monthly silver of each of you on the original basis, so that everyone has enough monthly silver. As long as you have the heart, save a part of it every month, even Even if you encounter difficulties, you will not make mistakes because you have no savings."
"As far as I am concerned, since you have doubled your monthly silver, if you embezzle the government's silver again, it is a heinous act. If you are caught by me, it is not as simple as being betrayed. And the others Also remember to monitor the people around you. If you find someone corrupt, just report it to me. As long as the report is established, each person who reports will get at least one-half of the other party's monthly silver. If the other party has embezzled enough silver, then report The person who is involved will directly get one-tenth of the other party's embezzlement money, the more the other party corrupts, the more you will get after reporting it."
Fu Li glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Marquis Dingwei's mansion is not short of money, and I am not short of money, so everyone..."
The others were startled by Fu Li's eyes, and quickly lowered their heads.
But when I think of what Fu Li said just now, I feel a burst of fire in my heart.
Those present were all servants who had bought themselves, and if there were no accidents, they would almost work in the Dingweihou Mansion for the rest of their lives.No one is stupid, so they naturally know what double the moon silver means.After all, there are only a small number of servants who have crooked thoughts. The extra silver can already allow them to live a very good life, and these people will not have other thoughts.
Fu Li was very satisfied when he saw it, so he went on to say the next rule: "During the investigation before, I counted all the servants and found that there were more than 300 servants in the house, even if dozens of servants were expelled Well, there are still more than 200 servants in the mansion. But Dingweihou Mansion is so big, and there are only so many jobs, it is inevitable that some servants have overlapping duties, which leads to some of the servants becoming half masters instead. Usually, he would just ask other people to help him with the work, while he would be like an idler with nothing to do, playing with cats and dogs all day long, gambling and making troubles, making Dingweihou's mansion into a mess."
Most of the people present are in charge, no matter how much they have in their hands, they all have some real power.Because their status is more "noble", most of them can match the people described in Fu Li's words.
And there is a saying that is good, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
The subordinates of these unrighteous little stewards, because of their leadership, have also more or less contracted the problem of gambling and lust.
Thinking of Fu Li's decisiveness in cleaning up people before, these people with ghosts in their hearts couldn't help trembling, wishing they could kneel down to Fu Li immediately.
Seeing that these people were scared, Fu Li suddenly laughed: "I don't blame what happened before, but if I find out that someone is gathering in the house to gamble, I can just drive them away. Remember to tell others, It’s the same as reporting corruption, if someone finds out that other people gamble and sues them to me, they can also get half of the other party’s monthly silver. And they can also get half of their gambling money.”
"Just don't worry, the [-] or so servants in this mansion are definitely redundant, because seeing so many people doing nothing all day long, I can't wait to lay off half of the servants immediately," Fu Li spread his hands helplessly, "It's a pity that if you didn't make a mistake, if I drove him away, the old lady would definitely call me over to question me, and maybe she would think that I was too ruthless. But if you made a mistake..."
Everyone shuddered, nodded hurriedly and said they would never dare again, and decided to keep Fu Li's words firmly in their hearts, not to make a wrong step
They can see that the new wife of their Dingweihou Mansion is a hard-hearted person, except for the Hou Ye and the old lady who can make her scruples, everyone else is ruthless in front of her. If she makes a mistake, she will definitely do what she says and drive the person who made the mistake out of Dingweihou Mansion.
They stayed well in Dingweihou Mansion, but they were unwilling to leave here.
Seeing that everyone took her words to heart, Fu Li felt relieved, and she said a few rules that were not very important but could restrain people, and then let everyone go back to their posts.
Fu Li turned his head and looked at Dongchun and Dongxia: "I may not spend much time at the mansion during the day, so I can only ask you two to help keep an eye on the situation at the mansion. If someone reports it, you will name it Write down……"
After a pause, she couldn't help frowning.
For now, she doesn't have complete trust in Dongchun, Dongxia, and Dongchun. If she entrusts them with this kind of matter, she is not sure if someone reports someone they know or are familiar with, whether they will Report truthfully.
Most importantly, she was even more worried that the two would tell the person who reported the identity of the person who reported.
After thinking about it, Fu Li frowned and waved his hands: "Forget it, Dongxia will tell other people in the house later, if anyone wants to report, they can come and report after I return to the yard after dinner, or directly in the When I was having dinner, I reported whoever was a criminal in front of the old lady and others."
Dongchun didn't think much, just nodded blindly.
Dong Xia sensed Fu Li's distrust of her from Fu Li's repeated words back and forth. This is actually normal, but for Dong Xia, who is determined to climb up, it is best to gain the trust of the master and become his confidant maid, and so on. For those who can be reused by their masters after marriage, this disappoints her a bit.
But she quickly cheered up and cheered herself up in her heart.
After all, the time for her to come to Madam's side is still a little short. After doing more things for Madam in the future, so that Madam can see her loyalty, she will believe in herself, and she will not shy away from such important things.
Fu Li didn't know what the two maids were thinking, and after explaining the matter, he started to get busy.
Although Wei Yan became Marquis of Dingwei for only ten years, the Wei family did not become famous until Wei Yan was reused.The ancestor of the Wei family was the Duke of Ding, and the Marquis Wei Yan's title of "Dingwei" was inherited from his ancestor's title.
Not to mention other things, although Wei Yan's title of Marquis of Dingwei overwhelmed the limelight, in fact, the old man of the Wei family still has a third-class male title.
Therefore, the account book of the Wei family is not only ten years old.
Fu Li first read all of Wei Yan's account books after he became Marquis of Dingwei. As she expected, after Wei's family moved to the Marquis of Dingwei's mansion, the people in the mansion either took pictures of Wei Yan's reputation of being able to stop children from crying, or Because many newcomers have been added to the house, they are all very safe, and there is no problem with the account book.
However, the account books from Dingguogong to the third-class baron of Wei old man made people...
It took Fu Li four or five days to sort out all the books, and then calculated the accounts, and found that the deficit in all the books had reached a huge one million.
This is a bit scary.
However, many of the accounts recorded in the account book can no longer be retrieved because the time is too long. Years of accounts, but I can barely find someone.
It's just that after Fu Li thought about it, he directly chose to hide it and didn't tell the two old people.
Firstly, it was because they were worried that the two old men would be angry, and secondly, it was also because more than half of the embezzled money that could be retrieved was stolen by Wei Xin, Niu Da and his family, and these people basically They have already been sent to see the officials, and with Wei Yan's face, those embezzled but useless money will be returned sooner or later; three times, the remaining small part has abnormal accounts and is allocated to those little people. The number was not much at all. She had already driven away a group of people vigorously before, and now that the mansion has finally settled down, there is no need for her to make the mansion panic.
But when Wei Yan came back at night, Fu Li told him about it.
As the male master of the house, he should know the situation of the house.
After Wei Yan checked the account book, he became more and more angry with Wei Xin and the others. Because he was so angry, he even went to Dali Temple Secretary directly to mention the situation in his house when he went to court the next day.
The Minister of Dali Temple understood and sent someone to the Yin's Mansion of Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate the case of Wei Xin, Niu Da and others.
It stands to reason that such a case of bullying the master by a slave is not under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, but since the man has come, if he insists on bringing this case to the Dali Temple for interrogation, how can a small Jingzhao government official still refuse?
But if he didn't refuse, if the news that such a small case has disturbed the Dali Temple reached the emperor's ears, he, the official of Jingzhao Prefecture, could be considered as successful.
Originally planning to investigate slowly, and it would be better to convict Wei Xin and Niu Da with higher charges, Jing Zhao Fu Yin immediately gave up this idea, and instead sent people to investigate the Wei family and Niu family directly. After the person's mansion was even more luxurious than his, the governor of Jingzhao, the governor of Jingzhao was really angry.
He studied hard for many years, and finally got the position of Jingzhao's governor, and he also had the foundation to gain a foothold in the capital.But these two servants lived better than a decent official like him just by embezzling their master's money, how could he not feel aggrieved?
Wei Xin's family is the most greedy, and the property copied from his house can almost make his whole family go into exile.
When the old lady turned a few people over, she greeted him and told him to punish them severely, but now he doesn't even need to do anything, the end of these people may have paid attention to the satisfaction of the whole Wei family.
Just as he was about to order these people to be exiled at the border, Su Gonggong, who was beside the emperor, came to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture with an imperial edict.
In a trance, he thought that it was because Dali Temple Minister went to the Yamen to intervene before that this kind of case finally reached the ears of the emperor, so he gave him an order.
Who knew that when Eunuch Su opened the imperial decree, it said that because Wei Xin was involved in King Zhongshun's intention to misbehave with Marquis Dingwei, Wei Xin would be taken to Dali Temple to be a witness.
Governor of Jingzhao: "???"
Just a villain, how can he have anything to do with King Zhongshun?
But when I think about it, nothing is impossible
After all, King Zhongshun was very favored by the emperor back then, and all the Chinese and military officials in the court almost thought that the next emperor must be King Zhongshun. The fourth prince with an even worse reputation?
King Zhongshun felt unwilling and wanted to do something, but it was a very normal thing.
After Jingzhao Mansion Yin figured it out, he sent Wei Xin to Dali Temple in person.
He wanted to ask Dali Temple Minister about the situation of King Zhongshun
After all, before King Zhongshun entered the palace, he never came out. Afterwards, Marquis Dingwei personally led troops to surround Zhongshun Palace. People couldn't help but wonder whether King Zhongshun had done anything outrageous in the palace. Only then will the emperor be furious, so regardless of the fact that the emperor is still alive, he will sharpen his sword and want to solve it.
But he is humble and light-hearted, and he really can't speak in front of Dali Temple Secretary, and when he went, although Dali Temple Secretary came to greet him in person, but looking at Dali Temple Secretary's attitude, he felt that Dali Temple Secretary would come here in person for the sake of Wei Xin, not for his little Jingzhao Fu Yin.
So after he sent the person, he didn't stay any longer.
And the fact is exactly as Jingzhaofu Yin thought, Dali Temple Minister would come out to greet him in person, not for Jingzhaofu Yin, but for the prisoner Wei Xin he sent over.
To say that Wei Xin's ancestors can be regarded as capable people for generations, and his ancestors grew up with Ding Guogong, so after Ding Guogong became famous, he also valued him very much and made him the chief steward of Ding Guogong.However, Dingguogong's preferential treatment did not make him die hard, on the contrary, it raised his ambition. After that, he also did a lot of things like Wei Xin.
However, Duke Ding at that time was not the same as Marquis Dingwei today.
I heard that in order to marry the owner of Duke Zhou's gourmet restaurant chain, Marquis Dingwei had to clean himself up for several years before finally embracing the beauty.During this period, it is not that there are no women who want to climb on his bed. Many colleagues have also done concubine giving, or taking people to brothels and other interesting things, but that person is as calm as Liu Xiahui, and he is stunned. Used a woman.
However, Duke Ding has no resistance to female sex. Since he was promoted to a noble, his family has added one or two newcomers almost every month.The only good thing is that he is not the kind of person who spoils concubines and destroys wives, and he respects his wife.
And Wei Xin's ancestors took aim at Ding Guogong's weakness, and asked people to find suitable beauties for him everywhere, so as to curry favor with Ding Guogong.
But these beauties are not free, and not all of them are innocent.
So the Duke Ding's mansion at that time became a sieve, and almost everyone could put a few people in it. If he had the ability to find a beauty that made Duke Ding's heart flutter, someone could blow the pillow wind in his ear.
Then, a fire broke out in Dingguogong's backyard, and spread to the previous court, and finally caused the Dingguogong's mansion, which was once magnificent for a while, to fall silent in an instant.
Although Dingguo is silent, but the background of Dingguo's mansion is still there, isn't it?That Wei Xin's ancestor still flattered Ding Guogong, and took a lot of benefits from it, earning himself a coveted family fortune.
The housekeepers after him are also like him, trying their best to please the master's family, and then use this to make money.
That Wei Xin would be willing to accept the beauty of King Zhongshun was inspired by his ancestors, but the most important reason is not to please Wei Yan, but to drive apart the relationship between Wei Yan and Fu Li
Before Fu Li entered the door, he suffered a big loss from Fu Li. If Fu Li married into the Dingwei Hou Mansion, he would still be able to make a good fortune in Fu Li's hands?
Because of fear, Wei Xin must stop Fu Li from taking power.
But he could see that the old lady was very satisfied with Fu Li, and the old man didn't give in too much, but the two people's affection for Fu Li was based on Wei Yan not being married to Fu Li. What about other women who developed feelings?
That's why when he learned that King Zhongshun had a stunning beauty, he didn't care about her identity and wanted to bring her to his house.
He doesn't necessarily have bad intentions towards Wei Yan, but who made him get involved with King Zhongshun?
Dali Siqing shook his head, looking at Wei Xin with pity.
When Wei Xin learned that King Zhongshun had been arrested and taken into the clan mansion, and that he was involved in it, he was already dumbfounded. Even if Dali Temple Minister looked at him with such pity, he didn't react at all.
Then, he was locked in a cell in Dali Temple.
About a month later, the crime of King Zhongshun who was imprisoned in the clan mansion was completely settled
Intending to murder important officials in the court; Attempt to dirty and mess up the palace; Disrespect and filial piety to the Supreme Emperor; Contempt for the emperor's prestige, dissatisfied with the new emperor, do not take it seriously...
Emperor Yonghe didn't cover up all these crimes at all, so he directly announced it when he went to the court, and then directly took the title of King Zhongshun, demoted him to a commoner, and took back all the preferential treatment and gifts that the Supreme Emperor had given him before.
Because the status has changed from a prince to a commoner, the servants of his mansion were directly resold, and most of his concubines were dismissed.
After all, according to the imperial court regulations, common people can only have at most one concubine room.
The other charges are fine, civil and military officials may not pay too much attention to it, and they may not even believe it.After all, everyone knows the relationship between King Zhongshun and the emperor, and the emperor has never concealed his dissatisfaction with King Zhongshun.From the point of view of civil and military officials, the accusations that Emperor Yonghe placed on Prince Zhongshun might be all nonsense, just to solve the hidden danger of Prince Zhongshun.
But "filthy, chaotic harem attempted" and "disrespectful to the Supreme Emperor"...
With the Supreme Emperor still alive, even if Emperor Yonghe wanted to get rid of King Zhongshun, he wouldn't be able to spread such a lie that could be exposed by the courtiers who went to visit the Supreme Emperor at any time, right?
All the ministers who originally wanted to intercede for King Zhongshun all shut up
If these two crimes are true, it is equivalent to nailing King Zhongshun to the pillar of shame, and he will never stand up again.
Along with the intention to confiscate Prince Zhongshun's title, there was also the news that the Queen had adopted her as an adopted daughter in order to compensate for the fright the Qin family had received in the palace, and the news that Wei Xin, as a slave of the Dingweihou Mansion, had become a slave. The news that the loyal prince's minion intends to murder Dingweihou for the tiger and betray him.
After Prince Zhongshun's mansion was ransacked, some ministers went to the palace to visit the Supreme Emperor, and then mentioned King Zhongshun in words to test the attitude of the Supreme Emperor
The Taishanghuang was furious, and his body, which had lost all mobility, struggled from the bed and fell to the ground because of being too emotional.
The minister naturally failed to please him, but the accusation of Prince Zhongshun's disorderly behavior in the palace was firmly placed on his head, and there was no possibility of it being demolished.
When the news spread that King Zhongshun was confiscated and ransacked his home, Fu Li, Aunt Tian's family, Cai Li and others had already finished the site selection and decoration of the new hot pot restaurant, and all kinds of ingredients were transported to the capital from various places. Only waiting for an auspicious day to officially open.
Because he was worried about the acceptance of chili peppers by the people in the capital, when Fu Li decided to turn on the heat, he and Cai Li and others first made a hot pot with clear soup.
In the past one month or so, the site selection and decoration and other issues have been done too many times, in fact, Fu Li did not spend too much time, and most of the time was actually spent on the preparation of the bottom of the clear soup hot pot.
Fu Li knew many base recipes for clear soup hot pot, but the most critical ingredients in those base recipes had been kept well hidden and Fu Li could not get his hands on them.Besides, the hot pot business must have its own characteristics. She can't take out the base recipe developed by others and use it directly. This will not have her own characteristics, and it does not match the style of her shop. It also challenges her as the only heir of the family of chefs. career bottom line.
In order to develop a suitable clear soup recipe that fits the style of hot pot restaurants, Fu Li even took the base recipe home and made a clear soup recipe for everyone to eat, and then asked everyone for their opinions...
After working hard for a long time, I finally decided on the base recipe of clear soup hot pot on the eve of opening.
It is said that fish and sheep are the freshest, and the main ingredient of the clear soup in their hot pot restaurant is milky crucian carp fish soup.
It is easy to boil crucian carp fish soup to milky white. You only need to fry the crucian carp until golden on both sides before cooking the soup, then put it into the soup and boil it. After boiling for a while, you can get the milky white color. fish soup.She also sent people to the village to buy many buffaloes that were producing milk, and then added a lot of buffalo milk to the crucian carp soup.
Of course, Fu Li has spent so much time and energy on the soup base of the clear soup hot pot, it is naturally impossible to only have crucian carp fish soup as the killer.
After the milky white and fragrant fish soup comes out of the pot, wrap cinnamon, amomum, clove, white blue, tangerine peel, grass fruit, fennel, cinnamon, aniseed, pepper, pepper, edible salt, rock sugar and other seasonings with gauze Put it into the fish soup, boil it slowly, and use it to heat the hot pot after the fragrance comes out.
This clear soup hot pot base recipe has actually been put into use when Jiangnan opened a store, but the taste of food in Jiangnan is different from that of the capital, so even if she already has the recipe, she can only find ways to make it more suitable for the capital. The soup base of ordinary people's taste.
Northerners have a strong taste, and the clear soup should be more fragrant.
to this end
As soon as the two entered the door, they found that the atmosphere in the room was not right.Because Wei Yan was not familiar with Fu's family, so he didn't have a deep impression of it. He only thought that Fu Li had a conflict with them.But seeing that Fu Li had a smile on his face, he didn't seem to be being bullied, so he raised his eyebrows and walked to her side, not paying attention to the abnormal atmosphere in the room at all.
Fu Juren was quite shocked, because he knew both his mother and his wife quite well.The mother is domineering and domineering, and never takes her sister seriously. As soon as she meets her, it immediately becomes a disaster. Not only does she speak bad words to her, but her temper is even more explosive than usual.
But at this time, the mother was sitting in the corner with a small bench, far away from her sister, and occasionally looked at her, although there was still a bit of resentment, more of it was fear, and she couldn't avoid it.
It seemed as if he had just been out for such a short while, and my sister had become a big person who could not be provoked in the mother's heart.
Although the elder sister is indeed, didn't the mother always think that the elder sister was her daughter, and no matter how high her status was, she couldn't escape her control?
And his wife has always been virtuous and cautious, and she mostly swallows her anger when facing her mother. As long as her mother doesn't do too much, she will only endure it.
But now, she was sitting very close to her elder sister. Although she could see that her expression was unnatural, and she kept stopping the two children from approaching her elder sister, her expression was much calmer.Even if the mother sat so far away, she never cared half a minute.
Fu Juren was very upset: "..."
After a pause, he entered the door and walked directly to Fu's mother, looking down at her: "Mother, why are you sitting here?"
Mother Fu turned her head to look at her son and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to complain, but her eyes touched the Fu Li couple sitting next to each other, she just glared at them angrily and then looked away: "It's okay Son, I'd rather sit here and do your work."
Fu Juren looked at Fu's mother in surprise, and seemed to want to talk, but was called by his wife: "Dingwei Hou and Mrs. Hou went home, but there is nothing to entertain at home, you take a few taels of silver and go to the street to buy some. My mother and I will make some more food, so that we won't be too shabby and treat our guests badly when we have lunch later."
Fu Juren was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly: "There is really nothing good in the house, it's because I didn't think carefully. I'll go right away!"
After speaking, he turned and went back to his room, and soon came out with a money bag.
He walked up to Fu Li and the two of them, bowed his hands to Wei Yan, and then said: "The family keeps a filial piety, and there is nothing good left. You just wait at home for a while. The Zhao family's lo mei shop is not bad. I'll come as I go."
Fu Li turned his head and glanced at Wei Yan, seeing him nodding his head, he said, "Don't worry, we'll leave after lunch."
Fu Juren felt relieved, turned around and ran out of the house.
Wei Yan actually felt a little strange in his heart. After all, he could see Fu Li's dislike for the Fu family. Even if he had a better impression of Fu Juren's younger brother, it was not as good as his dislike for Fu's mother.He originally thought that Fu Li would insist on leaving Fu's house before lunch, but he didn't expect that after asking his opinion, she actually chose to stay.
Fu Li smiled at him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "I didn't want to stay before because I was worried that my mother would talk nonsense during dinner, and it would be bad if it made you unhappy. We are newlyweds, It’s better to be happy every day.”
Chinese people have such a habit, they like to chat at the dinner table the most, if Fu's mother has any thoughts about Wei Yan, she will definitely say it at the dinner table.
And what she said will definitely make her and Wei Yan feel unhappy.
Since the meal was destined to be unpleasant and unable to finish, she had better take Wei Yan away as soon as possible.
However, after that incident happened before, I think Mother Fu's attitude towards the couple has become much more cautious. In a short period of time, at least it is impossible to talk nonsense at the risk of offending her.
Now that there is no hidden worry, why doesn't she stay for dinner?
Wei Yan insisted on coming back to Fu's house, isn't it just for the sake of her reputation?If you leave your mother's house without finishing lunch, your reputation will also be affected.
And staying here would make Fu's mother unhappy, so why not do it?
Wei Yan turned his head to meet Fu Li's sly eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled: "It's good. But since I decided to stay, shouldn't the carriage driver take off the return gift from the carriage?"
Fu Li glanced at Fu's mother who listened with her ears open after hearing the "returning ceremony", the corners of her mouth curled up, and she turned to look at Fu Juren's wife: "Which room are you and my brother's room? I asked the carriage driver to unload the things to your room. The homecoming gifts I brought back are not bad. There are many for my brother and two children, and some for you. You remember to keep them all. If you use If you don’t get it, you sell it directly, and the money you get is good whether it’s for your family or for your two children to study.”
Fu Juren's wife froze for a moment, then nodded: "I can save it."
After the coachman put all the things in the carriage into the room, she took the people and put the things in her room one by one, leaving none of them for Fu's mother.
Seeing this scene, Mother Fu stared at Fu Li and her daughter-in-law angrily, but dared not say a word.
Soon, Fu Juren bought a lot of lo mei and came back.
Because his family members are observing filial piety, most of the lo mei he bought are vegetarian dishes, and there are only one or two meat dishes, and they are all placed in front of the Fu Li couple during the meal.The two children wanted to pinch, but Fu Juren and his wife beat each other with chopsticks.
After a pleasant meal, Fu Li got into the carriage and returned to Dingweihou Mansion soon after eating.
Back at the mansion, Fu Li thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Wei Yan: "I know a lot about the situation in the mansion, and the moths have been cleaned up, so I just need to adjust the rules of the mansion, etc. Then I can be free. At that time, I may have to go out of the house to prepare for my branch in the capital, and I may not be at home during the day."
Wei Yan knew Fu Li's purpose of going to Beijing early in the morning, so he nodded in response: "You just go ahead and do it, I fully support it."
Fu Li laughed: "You support? You are a busy person with no skills, what support can you give me?"
Wei Yan thought for a while: "On the day of opening, I will bring a few colleagues to your store to book a reservation? A room full of ministers with rank three or above should be able to add some reputation to your branch?"
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "If you can really attract a roomful of officials of the third grade and above to join the store on the opening day, let alone a little reputation, my store might be said to be famous. There are delicious delicacies in the sky, and I am afraid that I will start preparing for a branch soon.”
Wei Yan's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Isn't that good?"
Fu Li paused, and then stared at him: "You don't really plan to take your colleagues to the store to book a reservation on the day of my new store's opening, do you?" No." The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she even felt a little headache, "The store I opened is called the Zhougong Food Chain Store. There are actually many branches below, you should know?"
Wei Yan nodded. Before he got married, he paid a lot of attention to Fu Li. How could he not know that the famous Zhou Gong gourmet chain restaurant actually has many branches such as noodle restaurant, Chuanchuanxiang restaurant, Malatang restaurant, and hot pot restaurant?
Fu Li saw that he didn't seem to realize what was wrong, so he said helplessly: "But the prices of those restaurants are all very cheap, except for hot pot, if you take your colleagues to eat in other restaurants, even if you order the most expensive food, It costs at most one or two taels of silver to fill up your belly. Don't you think that such a shop is not upscale for your colleagues?"
It doesn't matter if you go to these shops for entertainment by yourself, but it's not good to come to her shop to treat guests, or invite a group of powerful people to eat?Why should people be invited to a high-end and elegant place like Zuixiang Tower?
Wei Yan just asked: "If I really invite people to the store, will it be good for you to open a store in the capital?"
you still need to ask?
Fu Li nodded: "The benefits are great, but..."
"Then it's no problem," Wei Yan said with a smile in his eyes, "I know you are thinking of me, and you are worried that I will offend my colleagues if I treat guests in your shop, but these are all small problems. You forgot? You But my wife who is currently married to Ming Media, if I invite my colleagues to dinner in my restaurant, they will gossip, so as not to rise to the point of offending. Besides, if you are really worried, why not open a hot pot restaurant in the capital first? Make it more luxurious, and set the price of food in the store to be more expensive, it’s fine.”
Fu Li cast a sideways glance at Wei Yan, and laughed, "I never thought you would have the potential to be a profiteer."
After thinking about it, he nodded, "Then open a hot pot restaurant first and buy a two-story building. The decoration on the first floor is the same as before, and the decoration on the second floor is more luxurious, and then let people get some fresh and expensive ingredients. It won't make you lose face. But there is no need to book the venue, you can just invite one or two ministers with good relations, don't make too much of a sensation, after all, the gun hits the head."
Wei Yan also knew that Fu Li was his wife, and her words and deeds were always watched by others. Although it was good to make a big splash, it was not as safe as a slow development.
After the two discussed it properly, they went to the two old people to pay their respects.
The old lady smiled kindly: "Do your family still like the gifts I prepared for you?"
Fu Li followed with a smile: "Old lady, your vision is really good, and the gifts you choose for your daughter-in-law's family are thoughtful, whether it is enlightening books and educational toys for the two children, or the Four Treasures of the Study for the younger brother, and the gift for the younger sister-in-law. They all liked all kinds of cloth and hairpin jewelry very much. My younger brother and sister-in-law are adults, no matter how happy they are, they are still reserved, but after receiving the gifts, the two children jumped up from the ground directly, jumping like crazy. They were three feet tall, so they took presents and ran to the neighbors’ houses to show off on the spot, but it gave them a big face, so they will have more weight when speaking among their friends in the future.”
It is obviously a very gratifying thing for the gift you choose to be liked by others.
The old lady was naturally unavoidable, so after listening to Fu Li's words, she was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes. But after the fun, she noticed something: "Why don't my mother-in-law like the gift I chose?"
The old lady actually knew about the strange relationship between Fu Li and his family, but because everyone in the Fu family except Fu Li, a married woman, was keeping their filial piety, before Fu Li and Wei Yan got married, the parents of the two parties had no chance to sit together get along.The old lady didn't know Fu's mother's temperament, so she naturally thought that there was still room for relaxation between Fu Li and the Fu family.
Fu Li said with a smile: "My mother loves the junior. Although she is very happy with the gift you sent, she still reluctantly parted with it and distributed everything to the junior. She didn't keep any of it."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "She has a bad temper. Even if she likes juniors, she should keep one or two for herself. I still have a lot of things suitable for her age in my warehouse, otherwise you can find someone Chance, get some for your mother?"
Fu Li hurriedly stopped: "Old lady, if I take something from your warehouse to give to my mother, if word spreads,
Didn't I become a white-eyed wolf who moved the good things of my husband's family to my mother's house?If it gets out, my reputation will not be heard.Don't worry, I gave my mother a lot of money for self-defense before. If she really likes something, she can buy it with the money in her hand. If she can't, she can find my daughter.My younger brother is pure and filial. Sometimes he wrongs himself, or his wife and children have to meet the mother's requirements, and he will never wrong her. "
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly: "It's just that I have too many things."
Fu Li hurriedly explained: "Old lady, I know you care about me, how could it be troublesome?"
Wei Yan watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking back and forth, and thought it was very interesting, so he didn't interrupt.Now that he heard this, he echoed Fu Li and said, "Mother is overthinking. When Madam left the house in the morning, she saw that you had prepared so many homecoming ceremonies for her. I don't know how grateful she is. She doesn't think you are too troublesome." Son, I even wish you would care about her again."
The old lady just laughed.
She laughed, and the old man who was also sitting beside her watching the play also laughed.
The next day, Fu Li called all the famous stewards in the mansion to the yard, beat Wei Xin, Niu Da and the others, and then gave everyone a sweet date: "I also know that this person who stole corruption Things cannot be easily stopped, so I thought of another way. In the future, I will double the monthly silver of each of you on the original basis, so that everyone has enough monthly silver. As long as you have the heart, save a part of it every month, even Even if you encounter difficulties, you will not make mistakes because you have no savings."
"As far as I am concerned, since you have doubled your monthly silver, if you embezzle the government's silver again, it is a heinous act. If you are caught by me, it is not as simple as being betrayed. And the others Also remember to monitor the people around you. If you find someone corrupt, just report it to me. As long as the report is established, each person who reports will get at least one-half of the other party's monthly silver. If the other party has embezzled enough silver, then report The person who is involved will directly get one-tenth of the other party's embezzlement money, the more the other party corrupts, the more you will get after reporting it."
Fu Li glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Marquis Dingwei's mansion is not short of money, and I am not short of money, so everyone..."
The others were startled by Fu Li's eyes, and quickly lowered their heads.
But when I think of what Fu Li said just now, I feel a burst of fire in my heart.
Those present were all servants who had bought themselves, and if there were no accidents, they would almost work in the Dingweihou Mansion for the rest of their lives.No one is stupid, so they naturally know what double the moon silver means.After all, there are only a small number of servants who have crooked thoughts. The extra silver can already allow them to live a very good life, and these people will not have other thoughts.
Fu Li was very satisfied when he saw it, so he went on to say the next rule: "During the investigation before, I counted all the servants and found that there were more than 300 servants in the house, even if dozens of servants were expelled Well, there are still more than 200 servants in the mansion. But Dingweihou Mansion is so big, and there are only so many jobs, it is inevitable that some servants have overlapping duties, which leads to some of the servants becoming half masters instead. Usually, he would just ask other people to help him with the work, while he would be like an idler with nothing to do, playing with cats and dogs all day long, gambling and making troubles, making Dingweihou's mansion into a mess."
Most of the people present are in charge, no matter how much they have in their hands, they all have some real power.Because their status is more "noble", most of them can match the people described in Fu Li's words.
And there is a saying that is good, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
The subordinates of these unrighteous little stewards, because of their leadership, have also more or less contracted the problem of gambling and lust.
Thinking of Fu Li's decisiveness in cleaning up people before, these people with ghosts in their hearts couldn't help trembling, wishing they could kneel down to Fu Li immediately.
Seeing that these people were scared, Fu Li suddenly laughed: "I don't blame what happened before, but if I find out that someone is gathering in the house to gamble, I can just drive them away. Remember to tell others, It’s the same as reporting corruption, if someone finds out that other people gamble and sues them to me, they can also get half of the other party’s monthly silver. And they can also get half of their gambling money.”
"Just don't worry, the [-] or so servants in this mansion are definitely redundant, because seeing so many people doing nothing all day long, I can't wait to lay off half of the servants immediately," Fu Li spread his hands helplessly, "It's a pity that if you didn't make a mistake, if I drove him away, the old lady would definitely call me over to question me, and maybe she would think that I was too ruthless. But if you made a mistake..."
Everyone shuddered, nodded hurriedly and said they would never dare again, and decided to keep Fu Li's words firmly in their hearts, not to make a wrong step
They can see that the new wife of their Dingweihou Mansion is a hard-hearted person, except for the Hou Ye and the old lady who can make her scruples, everyone else is ruthless in front of her. If she makes a mistake, she will definitely do what she says and drive the person who made the mistake out of Dingweihou Mansion.
They stayed well in Dingweihou Mansion, but they were unwilling to leave here.
Seeing that everyone took her words to heart, Fu Li felt relieved, and she said a few rules that were not very important but could restrain people, and then let everyone go back to their posts.
Fu Li turned his head and looked at Dongchun and Dongxia: "I may not spend much time at the mansion during the day, so I can only ask you two to help keep an eye on the situation at the mansion. If someone reports it, you will name it Write down……"
After a pause, she couldn't help frowning.
For now, she doesn't have complete trust in Dongchun, Dongxia, and Dongchun. If she entrusts them with this kind of matter, she is not sure if someone reports someone they know or are familiar with, whether they will Report truthfully.
Most importantly, she was even more worried that the two would tell the person who reported the identity of the person who reported.
After thinking about it, Fu Li frowned and waved his hands: "Forget it, Dongxia will tell other people in the house later, if anyone wants to report, they can come and report after I return to the yard after dinner, or directly in the When I was having dinner, I reported whoever was a criminal in front of the old lady and others."
Dongchun didn't think much, just nodded blindly.
Dong Xia sensed Fu Li's distrust of her from Fu Li's repeated words back and forth. This is actually normal, but for Dong Xia, who is determined to climb up, it is best to gain the trust of the master and become his confidant maid, and so on. For those who can be reused by their masters after marriage, this disappoints her a bit.
But she quickly cheered up and cheered herself up in her heart.
After all, the time for her to come to Madam's side is still a little short. After doing more things for Madam in the future, so that Madam can see her loyalty, she will believe in herself, and she will not shy away from such important things.
Fu Li didn't know what the two maids were thinking, and after explaining the matter, he started to get busy.
Although Wei Yan became Marquis of Dingwei for only ten years, the Wei family did not become famous until Wei Yan was reused.The ancestor of the Wei family was the Duke of Ding, and the Marquis Wei Yan's title of "Dingwei" was inherited from his ancestor's title.
Not to mention other things, although Wei Yan's title of Marquis of Dingwei overwhelmed the limelight, in fact, the old man of the Wei family still has a third-class male title.
Therefore, the account book of the Wei family is not only ten years old.
Fu Li first read all of Wei Yan's account books after he became Marquis of Dingwei. As she expected, after Wei's family moved to the Marquis of Dingwei's mansion, the people in the mansion either took pictures of Wei Yan's reputation of being able to stop children from crying, or Because many newcomers have been added to the house, they are all very safe, and there is no problem with the account book.
However, the account books from Dingguogong to the third-class baron of Wei old man made people...
It took Fu Li four or five days to sort out all the books, and then calculated the accounts, and found that the deficit in all the books had reached a huge one million.
This is a bit scary.
However, many of the accounts recorded in the account book can no longer be retrieved because the time is too long. Years of accounts, but I can barely find someone.
It's just that after Fu Li thought about it, he directly chose to hide it and didn't tell the two old people.
Firstly, it was because they were worried that the two old men would be angry, and secondly, it was also because more than half of the embezzled money that could be retrieved was stolen by Wei Xin, Niu Da and his family, and these people basically They have already been sent to see the officials, and with Wei Yan's face, those embezzled but useless money will be returned sooner or later; three times, the remaining small part has abnormal accounts and is allocated to those little people. The number was not much at all. She had already driven away a group of people vigorously before, and now that the mansion has finally settled down, there is no need for her to make the mansion panic.
But when Wei Yan came back at night, Fu Li told him about it.
As the male master of the house, he should know the situation of the house.
After Wei Yan checked the account book, he became more and more angry with Wei Xin and the others. Because he was so angry, he even went to Dali Temple Secretary directly to mention the situation in his house when he went to court the next day.
The Minister of Dali Temple understood and sent someone to the Yin's Mansion of Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate the case of Wei Xin, Niu Da and others.
It stands to reason that such a case of bullying the master by a slave is not under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, but since the man has come, if he insists on bringing this case to the Dali Temple for interrogation, how can a small Jingzhao government official still refuse?
But if he didn't refuse, if the news that such a small case has disturbed the Dali Temple reached the emperor's ears, he, the official of Jingzhao Prefecture, could be considered as successful.
Originally planning to investigate slowly, and it would be better to convict Wei Xin and Niu Da with higher charges, Jing Zhao Fu Yin immediately gave up this idea, and instead sent people to investigate the Wei family and Niu family directly. After the person's mansion was even more luxurious than his, the governor of Jingzhao, the governor of Jingzhao was really angry.
He studied hard for many years, and finally got the position of Jingzhao's governor, and he also had the foundation to gain a foothold in the capital.But these two servants lived better than a decent official like him just by embezzling their master's money, how could he not feel aggrieved?
Wei Xin's family is the most greedy, and the property copied from his house can almost make his whole family go into exile.
When the old lady turned a few people over, she greeted him and told him to punish them severely, but now he doesn't even need to do anything, the end of these people may have paid attention to the satisfaction of the whole Wei family.
Just as he was about to order these people to be exiled at the border, Su Gonggong, who was beside the emperor, came to the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture with an imperial edict.
In a trance, he thought that it was because Dali Temple Minister went to the Yamen to intervene before that this kind of case finally reached the ears of the emperor, so he gave him an order.
Who knew that when Eunuch Su opened the imperial decree, it said that because Wei Xin was involved in King Zhongshun's intention to misbehave with Marquis Dingwei, Wei Xin would be taken to Dali Temple to be a witness.
Governor of Jingzhao: "???"
Just a villain, how can he have anything to do with King Zhongshun?
But when I think about it, nothing is impossible
After all, King Zhongshun was very favored by the emperor back then, and all the Chinese and military officials in the court almost thought that the next emperor must be King Zhongshun. The fourth prince with an even worse reputation?
King Zhongshun felt unwilling and wanted to do something, but it was a very normal thing.
After Jingzhao Mansion Yin figured it out, he sent Wei Xin to Dali Temple in person.
He wanted to ask Dali Temple Minister about the situation of King Zhongshun
After all, before King Zhongshun entered the palace, he never came out. Afterwards, Marquis Dingwei personally led troops to surround Zhongshun Palace. People couldn't help but wonder whether King Zhongshun had done anything outrageous in the palace. Only then will the emperor be furious, so regardless of the fact that the emperor is still alive, he will sharpen his sword and want to solve it.
But he is humble and light-hearted, and he really can't speak in front of Dali Temple Secretary, and when he went, although Dali Temple Secretary came to greet him in person, but looking at Dali Temple Secretary's attitude, he felt that Dali Temple Secretary would come here in person for the sake of Wei Xin, not for his little Jingzhao Fu Yin.
So after he sent the person, he didn't stay any longer.
And the fact is exactly as Jingzhaofu Yin thought, Dali Temple Minister would come out to greet him in person, not for Jingzhaofu Yin, but for the prisoner Wei Xin he sent over.
To say that Wei Xin's ancestors can be regarded as capable people for generations, and his ancestors grew up with Ding Guogong, so after Ding Guogong became famous, he also valued him very much and made him the chief steward of Ding Guogong.However, Dingguogong's preferential treatment did not make him die hard, on the contrary, it raised his ambition. After that, he also did a lot of things like Wei Xin.
However, Duke Ding at that time was not the same as Marquis Dingwei today.
I heard that in order to marry the owner of Duke Zhou's gourmet restaurant chain, Marquis Dingwei had to clean himself up for several years before finally embracing the beauty.During this period, it is not that there are no women who want to climb on his bed. Many colleagues have also done concubine giving, or taking people to brothels and other interesting things, but that person is as calm as Liu Xiahui, and he is stunned. Used a woman.
However, Duke Ding has no resistance to female sex. Since he was promoted to a noble, his family has added one or two newcomers almost every month.The only good thing is that he is not the kind of person who spoils concubines and destroys wives, and he respects his wife.
And Wei Xin's ancestors took aim at Ding Guogong's weakness, and asked people to find suitable beauties for him everywhere, so as to curry favor with Ding Guogong.
But these beauties are not free, and not all of them are innocent.
So the Duke Ding's mansion at that time became a sieve, and almost everyone could put a few people in it. If he had the ability to find a beauty that made Duke Ding's heart flutter, someone could blow the pillow wind in his ear.
Then, a fire broke out in Dingguogong's backyard, and spread to the previous court, and finally caused the Dingguogong's mansion, which was once magnificent for a while, to fall silent in an instant.
Although Dingguo is silent, but the background of Dingguo's mansion is still there, isn't it?That Wei Xin's ancestor still flattered Ding Guogong, and took a lot of benefits from it, earning himself a coveted family fortune.
The housekeepers after him are also like him, trying their best to please the master's family, and then use this to make money.
That Wei Xin would be willing to accept the beauty of King Zhongshun was inspired by his ancestors, but the most important reason is not to please Wei Yan, but to drive apart the relationship between Wei Yan and Fu Li
Before Fu Li entered the door, he suffered a big loss from Fu Li. If Fu Li married into the Dingwei Hou Mansion, he would still be able to make a good fortune in Fu Li's hands?
Because of fear, Wei Xin must stop Fu Li from taking power.
But he could see that the old lady was very satisfied with Fu Li, and the old man didn't give in too much, but the two people's affection for Fu Li was based on Wei Yan not being married to Fu Li. What about other women who developed feelings?
That's why when he learned that King Zhongshun had a stunning beauty, he didn't care about her identity and wanted to bring her to his house.
He doesn't necessarily have bad intentions towards Wei Yan, but who made him get involved with King Zhongshun?
Dali Siqing shook his head, looking at Wei Xin with pity.
When Wei Xin learned that King Zhongshun had been arrested and taken into the clan mansion, and that he was involved in it, he was already dumbfounded. Even if Dali Temple Minister looked at him with such pity, he didn't react at all.
Then, he was locked in a cell in Dali Temple.
About a month later, the crime of King Zhongshun who was imprisoned in the clan mansion was completely settled
Intending to murder important officials in the court; Attempt to dirty and mess up the palace; Disrespect and filial piety to the Supreme Emperor; Contempt for the emperor's prestige, dissatisfied with the new emperor, do not take it seriously...
Emperor Yonghe didn't cover up all these crimes at all, so he directly announced it when he went to the court, and then directly took the title of King Zhongshun, demoted him to a commoner, and took back all the preferential treatment and gifts that the Supreme Emperor had given him before.
Because the status has changed from a prince to a commoner, the servants of his mansion were directly resold, and most of his concubines were dismissed.
After all, according to the imperial court regulations, common people can only have at most one concubine room.
The other charges are fine, civil and military officials may not pay too much attention to it, and they may not even believe it.After all, everyone knows the relationship between King Zhongshun and the emperor, and the emperor has never concealed his dissatisfaction with King Zhongshun.From the point of view of civil and military officials, the accusations that Emperor Yonghe placed on Prince Zhongshun might be all nonsense, just to solve the hidden danger of Prince Zhongshun.
But "filthy, chaotic harem attempted" and "disrespectful to the Supreme Emperor"...
With the Supreme Emperor still alive, even if Emperor Yonghe wanted to get rid of King Zhongshun, he wouldn't be able to spread such a lie that could be exposed by the courtiers who went to visit the Supreme Emperor at any time, right?
All the ministers who originally wanted to intercede for King Zhongshun all shut up
If these two crimes are true, it is equivalent to nailing King Zhongshun to the pillar of shame, and he will never stand up again.
Along with the intention to confiscate Prince Zhongshun's title, there was also the news that the Queen had adopted her as an adopted daughter in order to compensate for the fright the Qin family had received in the palace, and the news that Wei Xin, as a slave of the Dingweihou Mansion, had become a slave. The news that the loyal prince's minion intends to murder Dingweihou for the tiger and betray him.
After Prince Zhongshun's mansion was ransacked, some ministers went to the palace to visit the Supreme Emperor, and then mentioned King Zhongshun in words to test the attitude of the Supreme Emperor
The Taishanghuang was furious, and his body, which had lost all mobility, struggled from the bed and fell to the ground because of being too emotional.
The minister naturally failed to please him, but the accusation of Prince Zhongshun's disorderly behavior in the palace was firmly placed on his head, and there was no possibility of it being demolished.
When the news spread that King Zhongshun was confiscated and ransacked his home, Fu Li, Aunt Tian's family, Cai Li and others had already finished the site selection and decoration of the new hot pot restaurant, and all kinds of ingredients were transported to the capital from various places. Only waiting for an auspicious day to officially open.
Because he was worried about the acceptance of chili peppers by the people in the capital, when Fu Li decided to turn on the heat, he and Cai Li and others first made a hot pot with clear soup.
In the past one month or so, the site selection and decoration and other issues have been done too many times, in fact, Fu Li did not spend too much time, and most of the time was actually spent on the preparation of the bottom of the clear soup hot pot.
Fu Li knew many base recipes for clear soup hot pot, but the most critical ingredients in those base recipes had been kept well hidden and Fu Li could not get his hands on them.Besides, the hot pot business must have its own characteristics. She can't take out the base recipe developed by others and use it directly. This will not have her own characteristics, and it does not match the style of her shop. It also challenges her as the only heir of the family of chefs. career bottom line.
In order to develop a suitable clear soup recipe that fits the style of hot pot restaurants, Fu Li even took the base recipe home and made a clear soup recipe for everyone to eat, and then asked everyone for their opinions...
After working hard for a long time, I finally decided on the base recipe of clear soup hot pot on the eve of opening.
It is said that fish and sheep are the freshest, and the main ingredient of the clear soup in their hot pot restaurant is milky crucian carp fish soup.
It is easy to boil crucian carp fish soup to milky white. You only need to fry the crucian carp until golden on both sides before cooking the soup, then put it into the soup and boil it. After boiling for a while, you can get the milky white color. fish soup.She also sent people to the village to buy many buffaloes that were producing milk, and then added a lot of buffalo milk to the crucian carp soup.
Of course, Fu Li has spent so much time and energy on the soup base of the clear soup hot pot, it is naturally impossible to only have crucian carp fish soup as the killer.
After the milky white and fragrant fish soup comes out of the pot, wrap cinnamon, amomum, clove, white blue, tangerine peel, grass fruit, fennel, cinnamon, aniseed, pepper, pepper, edible salt, rock sugar and other seasonings with gauze Put it into the fish soup, boil it slowly, and use it to heat the hot pot after the fragrance comes out.
This clear soup hot pot base recipe has actually been put into use when Jiangnan opened a store, but the taste of food in Jiangnan is different from that of the capital, so even if she already has the recipe, she can only find ways to make it more suitable for the capital. The soup base of ordinary people's taste.
Northerners have a strong taste, and the clear soup should be more fragrant.
