I go to the ancient imperial examinations
Chapter 333
Chapter 333
An old friend visiting?Not to mention Jiang Butou was surprised, Mrs. Zhang and other people present also looked at Zhan Feiyu with strange expressions.
If this is an adult, even if it is a mud leg, they will believe that the other party may have a relationship with Zhang Tongzhi after saying these words.
But a short, chubby little girl spoke so old-fashionedly that it really made people want to laugh, but Zhan Feiyu looked extremely serious.
"Which bastard protruding from a corner dares to talk nonsense at such a young age? What are you? Paying back an old friend?" Mrs. Zhang said viciously, pointing at Zhan Feiyu and yelling.
"You know how to seduce men at such a young age? Pooh, you shameless bitch, Mother Hu tore the mouth of this bitch for me!"
The mother Hu who was called was dumbfounded. Just now, whether it was a guard or a yamen servant, she was beaten up crying for her father and mother. She is an old woman who usually plays prestige to the little maids in the Zhang Mansion and asks her to do it. , if she gets kicked, she probably won't be able to get up again.
"My mother said that sluts don't care about age, and they look so charming, so they're not good at first glance!" Qiu Jingyuan claimed to be a beauty, but she had a domineering temper, and she couldn't get used to girls who were prettier than her.
Whenever there is someone prettier than herself, Qiu Jingyuan will always try to ruin the other's face.
After going on like this for a long time, none of the girls who participated in the flower fairs or banquets dared to show their faces in front of Qiu Jingyuan, and if they had to, they would all dress up as ugly.
Zhan Feiyu is still childish, Qiu Jingyuan didn't care at first, but she shouldn't have big round eyes, Qiu Jingyuan is also beautiful, but her eyes are not round enough, she looks a bit squinted.
Zhan Feiyu stood up. Even a country shrew would not easily swear such dirty words, especially to the little girl who was not as good as Ji. Unexpectedly, the two people in front of him uttered dirty words. What kind of temperament.
"Ah Nuan." Zhan Feiyu said softly, and Baozi looked terrified without a smile on his face.
He Nuan's speed was extremely fast, and Mrs. Zhang and Qiu Jingyuan, who were so proud of themselves, only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and there were two slaps, their cheeks were slapped off, blood was bleeding from the corner of their mouths, and five finger marks appeared on their white faces instantly.
The entire second floor fell into an eerie silence for an instant. Although Mrs. Zhang scolded harshly, no one thought that a little girl like Zhan Feiyu would dare to do it. The key is that Mrs. Tongzhi was the one who slapped her, the mistress of Zhang's house in the future.
Touching her cheek, the pain came, and Madam Zhang realized that she had been beaten. The whole person was like an enraged beast, and roared like crazy, "You dare to hit me? You bitch, how dare you hit me?" I, I'm going to kill you..."
Roaring hysterically, she lost her mind in anger, Mrs. Zhang even forgot that He Nuan was a practicer, and rushed towards Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan like a crazy woman.
Qiu Jingyuan, who was also beaten, was still very confused. Let alone her identity, no one would dare to say a harsh word to her even if it was a harsh word.
Of course, if it was because there were no girls in the direct line of the Qiu family and her contemporaries, Qiu Jingyuan would be the only one out there, so she acted domineeringly and arrogantly.
But no matter what, it is a girl's family after all, and if it goes too far, it is the backyard's business. No one in the family's family will care about it, and others dare not complain to the Qiu family.
It was the first time Qiu Jingyuan was beaten, but she didn't react, which subconsciously relieved the Qian family and the others beside her. If this little ancestor started to make a fuss, the sky in Linzhou Prefecture would probably be broken.
It is impossible for Mrs. Zhang to make a move, and it is impossible for Jiang Butou to watch from the sidelines. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang has gone crazy, and He Nuan still has a sense of proportion in his actions. He pushed the person out, protected by a maidservant, but he was not injured. Of course, except for Just that slap.
"There is no need to embarrass Captain Jiang, just wait for Zhang Tongzhi to come." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, it seems that the teacher is right, and he is indeed good at causing trouble.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. He Nuan is obviously a master. Jiang Butou is sure that he will not win even if he fights. Moreover, Mrs. Zhang has to be dealt with.
"Alright, miss, wait a moment." Jiang Butou didn't dare to leave, fearing that Mrs. Zhang would go crazy again, so he asked the maidservant and Madam Hu to stop him, and ordered the most exciting subordinate to report to the government office.
It happened that Zhang Tongzhi was on duty today, if it was someone else, he would be leisurely drinking tea and reading a book at this moment, but Zhang Tongzhi was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.
The situation in Longyou Dao has changed, and the Marquis' Mansion at the edge of the town has collapsed, so whether it is Zhang Tongtong or his Shangfeng Zhou Zhifu, they have been busy these past few days. It's too much business to deal with.
"My lord, drink some ginseng tea." Staff member Feng Pingqing handed over the teacup. With Mrs. Zhang's temper, don't expect her to be a good helper, thank God if she doesn't cause trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Minxian's daily life is taken care of by the housekeeper of the Zhang family. If he is away from home, Feng Pingqing, the staff, will take care of it. There are servants on the left and right, and Feng Pingqing only needs to open his mouth.
After drinking a cup of ginseng tea, Zhang Minxian rubbed the center of his brows, his clear face was thinner than when he went to Xiangwu County that day, and his eyes were bloodshot. These days have been extremely hard.
"The huge Zhenbian Hou's mansion collapsed as soon as it was said, and the Yang family held the military power and finally waited for a comeback." Zhang Minxian's face was tired, and his voice was bitter. If he knew that it would only take eight or nine years for the Yang family to recover, back then How could the Zhang family fall into trouble.
Even if the Yang family doesn't pursue it now, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Minxian to go further with the current situation.
"My lord, there are no absolutes. Since the daughter of the Qiu family came to Linzhou Mansion, she must be aiming at Young Master Xu. If she can win over Miss Qiu." Feng Pingqing was thinking about the pillow wind, and he knew Yang Xu's character a little bit. , women don't look weak, it is also a sharp weapon if it can be used well.
Zhang Minxian didn't know Qiu Jingyuan well, after all, she was a little girl from the back house, and she hadn't reached Ji, so it was not easy to inquire about her situation, but Zhang Minxian knew a little about the third bedroom of the Qiu family.
"Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou to save Yang Xu, and the Yang family will not lose a life in exchange for a marriage." Zhang Minxian thought carefully, the third room has always wanted to seize power, but it is not easy to bring down the patriarch's line.
Yang Xu can be said to be the hope of the third house. Once Yang Xu becomes the son-in-law of the third house, with the support of the general's mansion, it will be much easier for the third house of the Qiu family to seize power.
But among them was Qiu Zongxi, he was the highest-ranking person in the direct branch, and he was a life-and-death friend with Old General Yang, and he even regarded Yang Xu as his grandson.
So in a short period of time, at least when Old General Yang was still alive, it was impossible for the Yang family to help Sanfang deal with the direct branch.
But in ten or eight years, if Qiu Jingyuan gave birth to a child, coupled with years of wind blowing beside the pillow, it would be normal for Yang Xu to prefer the third bedroom.
"My lord, the third family of the Qiu family doesn't have any influence in Longyou Dao. This is our advantage." Feng Pingqing thought about this matter from the beginning to the end after knowing Qiu Jingyuan's existence.
Sanfang doesn't say that it wants to control Yang Xu, but at least it needs to know Yang Xu's situation in Longyou Dao. It is impossible to rely on Qiu Zongxi, so it can only cooperate with local forces in Longyou Dao, and the Zhang family is the most suitable for Sanfang Cooperative partner.
First of all, the Zhang family is Yang Xu's natal family, no matter how many conflicts there were in the past, the blood ties and family ties kept breaking up.
Furthermore, Sanfang also knew that Yang Xu didn't want to see the Zhang family, and that the Zhang family could only rely on Qiu Jingyuan to repair their relationship. In this way, both parties would benefit from each other and help each other.
With the Zhang family's help, not only can Yang Xu's news be sent back to Qianzhong Road, but also someone can help Qiu Jingyuan do what she wants to do in the future, so that she can secure her position as the general's wife.
Otherwise, she would marry to Longyou Dao with no relatives, have the title of general's wife for nothing, but she can't do anything. If she has been huddled in the back house, how can she help Sanfang fight for the position of head of the family?
Here Zhang Minxian and Feng Pingqing are still discussing in detail, and the young man guarding outside replied: "My lord..."
After entering the house, the policeman didn't dare to delay, and quickly told the story of the restaurant. After all, even Mrs. Zhang was slapped. This meeting is going on. If the adults don't go to deal with it, I don't know what will happen. .
"An old friend from Xiangwu County?" Zhang Minxian heard that she was a beautiful little girl with two attendants, a man and a woman, and immediately thought of Zhan Feiyu.
Standing up after a while, Zhang Minxian strode out the door.
The policeman was dumbfounded, it turned out that the little girl was not lying, she was really an old friend of Mr. Zhang.
With Catcher Jiang around, no matter how much Mrs. Zhang yells, the cops won't do anything, and they will be sent up to be beaten. They are not stupid, and besides, the guards stand still like deaf people.
The cheeks that were slapped were hot and painful. The first time Mrs. Zhang was slapped in her life was in the second year of marriage. Less than a month after her son was born, Zhang Minxian brought a beautiful concubine into the house.
Mrs. Zhang exploded at that time, and rushed over with the dowry maids and women. Looking at the skinny horse from Jiangnan, she beat him to death in a rage.
Unable to understand his hatred, he even threw the person on the bed, covered him with a quilt and it was over.
Zhang Minxian, who came back from the Yamen that night, threw himself on the bed with a single stride. It was conceivable that Zhang Minxian was so frightened that time that he drank the medicine for a whole month.
It's right to think about it, when the yamen was busy, he thought about the concubine at home, and when he came back, he saw that she was already lying on the bed, Zhang Minxian, who was distracted, naturally had a reaction.
But when he threw himself on the bed, he was confronted with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The pain and unwillingness before his death still remained on his face. Zhang Minxian was only softened by fright but not killed by fright. He was considered courageous.
Zhang Minxian, who was furious, slapped Mrs. Zhang severely, and scolded "shrew" angrily.
Therefore, no matter how domineering Mrs. Zhang is on weekdays, she doesn't dare to quarrel with her husband Zhang Minxian. It's not that she obeys the four virtues and regards her husband as the sky, but she is afraid of Zhang Minxian, and even more afraid that he will do something to her natal family. Damn, I still haven't been climbed on top of those vixen's heads to do my best.
Therefore, no matter how noisy Mrs. Zhang is, there is a limit to it. As long as she is not out of line, Zhang Minxian will not divorce his wife easily for the sake of fame and career.
This is the second time she has been slapped by someone, and the most important thing is a maidservant, Mrs. Zhang's anger can be imagined, she can kill He Nuan with a knife in her hand to vent her hatred.
It's a pity that the value of force is not enough, and Jiang Butou doesn't do anything, so he can only scream and curse at this meeting, swearing all kinds of dirty words.
As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the restaurant, Zhang Minxian heard the sharp and piercing scolding from upstairs, and Zhang Minxian became the bottom of the pot.
Especially outside the restaurant, there were quite a few people eavesdropping, guessing whose wife it was, who was so vicious and could swear all kinds of dirty words.
In comparison, the tigress at home is quite docile, at least not so aggressive in public.
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Butou Jiang greeted him immediately, "My lord."
Ignoring Jiang Butou and the others, Zhang Minxian saw Zhan Feiyu sitting on a chair holding a hand stove at a glance, "Zhan..."
"Master, you're finally here!" Mrs. Zhang's sharp voice sounded again. She was also a mid-30s old lady, and this meeting happened to be like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who threw herself at Zhang Minxian with great grievances. past.
"Master, this lowly girl dared to beat me. It's clear that the master doesn't take our Zhang family seriously..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Minxian looked at the chattering Mrs. Zhang warningly with a gloomy face, but no matter how disgusted he was, he couldn't suppress his anger under the watchful eyes of everyone, "Nurse Hu, help Mrs. Zhang to the hospital to see her injuries. "
Afterwards, ignoring the astonished Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Minxian walked towards Zhan Feiyu, "I'm so rude to you, Miss Zhan, please forgive me."
"Master Zhang is serious. It's just a quarrel. I'm acting impulsively. Please forgive Mr. Zhang." Zhan Feiyu said a few words politely. Slapped her and evened it out.
Jiang Butou and the others were stunned for a moment, this little girl is not only an old acquaintance of the adults, but also has a strong background, otherwise, how can the adults get along with each other like the same generation, it is really impossible to judge by appearances.
The one who suffered the most was Mrs. Zhang, who had lost her face. Zhang Minxian not only refused to seek justice for her, but also offered to apologize, which made Mrs. Zhang gnash her teeth angrily.
If it hadn't been for Nanny Hu grabbing her arm, mad Mrs. Zhang would have been unable to restrain herself and rushed to fight Zhan Feiyu.
"Madam, please calm down." Madam Hu said in a low voice, and begged to look at Madam Zhang, whose eyes were bloodshot from anger, "That must be someone of the younger generation that Master knows, Madam's overall situation is the most important thing."
Madam said one thing in the circle of noble ladies in Linzhou Prefecture. It was because the master was a co-prefect of Linzhou Prefecture, so Madam was able to rely on her husband.
But once the master is angered, even if he does not divorce his wife and puts his wife under house arrest in the back house, no one in Linzhou will pay for his wife.
Mrs. Zhang dared not speak out, but she couldn't swallow the anger, so she changed the subject: "Master, it's fine if I get beaten, but the key is Miss Qiu. This is the daughter of the Qiu family in the middle of Guizhou. The state capital has been bullied, once the Qiu family pursues it, what should we do?"
Qiu Jingyuan was originally arrogant and domineering, she was slapped by He Nuan before, and then she was taken to Yage by Qian to treat the wound on her cheek.
Qian also had no choice, the Qiu family sent guards over, but a dozen or so guards couldn't beat the pair of brothers and sisters, so they could only persuade Qiu Jingyuan to apply the medicine first, so as not to leave scars on her face.
As soon as she came out of the Accord, she heard Mrs. Zhang's words. Qiu Jingyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over clamoring, "Zhang Tong knows that you came at the right time. This bitch dares to instigate a murder, you arrest him immediately!"
It's no wonder that Qiu Jingyuan yelled at Zhang Minxian and used him immediately. She was favored in Qianzhong Road and had a domineering temper.
Besides, Zhang Minxian is only a fourth-rank official, Qiu Jingyuan doesn't pay attention to it, but his uncle is the governor of Qianzhong Road, and he is a second-rank official in frontier.
One just stopped and another came, Zhang Minxian glanced at Qiu Jingyuan who was clamoring.
Although he was born in a family, his speech and manners are far worse than Zhan Feiyu's. Zhang Minxian and Zhan Feiyu's peers, firstly because of their status as Gu Xueshi, and Zhan Feiyu holds the Token of Forbidden Dragon Guard.
Secondly, Zhan Feiyu has real talents and learning. The little Sanyuan of Nanxuan Mansion is transparent and considerate. Although he is a junior, it is reasonable for Zhang Minxian, who is also a scholar and has passed the imperial examination, to treat him differently.
But what about Qiu Jingyuan?Although she is the daughter of the Qiu family, she is just an ordinary person, and she dares to boss him around. It is normal for Zhang Minxian to be dissatisfied. If he wants to flatter even a junior, he will not be designated as the heir of the Zhang family by Zhang Zhifu. .
"Miss Qiu." Suppressing his anger, Zhang Minxian, who was dressed in an official uniform, still had that aloof and stern attitude, and said the polite words of the officialdom, "If Miss Qiu asks me to arrest someone, please hand over the certificate to the government office first." , I will definitely act in accordance with the law at that time.”
With a completely business-like attitude, Zhang Minxian looked at Qiu Jingyuan who was furious, and continued in a deep voice: "I want to remind Ms. Qiu that Ms. Zhan has a reputation. If Ms. Qiu wants to sue, I'm afraid she will be punished first." A meal."
Even if he was born in the Qiu family, so what, Qiu Jingyuan is a plain-headed commoner, but Zhan Feiyu has a reputation as a scholar, and he is even a junior. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a civil lawsuit against an official, but Zhang Minxian's attitude is a little bit biased, and it is normal for Qiu Jingyuan to be punished.
"You stupid official!" Qiu Jingyuan cursed angrily, especially when she saw Zhang Minxian's official appearance, she became so angry that she suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Zhang Minxian in the face.
Fortunately, Qiu Jingyuan is only 12 years old. Although she is not short, she is still a bit shorter than Zhang Minxian, so this unexpected slap did not hit Zhang Minxian's face, but only hit him on the chin. neck.
The sloppy Qiu Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed it. Her well-maintained nails left three bloodstains on Zhang Minxian's neck.
Uh……
Not to mention that Zhang Minxian was stunned by the beating, Zhan Feiyu was also dumbfounded, this is a real warrior, he dared to slap the court official!
Even Zhan Feiyu couldn't beat Zhang Minxian in front of the Yamen's arresters and servants under the watchful eyes of the public. If the news got out, Zhang Minxian's reputation would definitely be discredited. How could he still govern a party in the future.
"Bold!" Jiang Butou shouted angrily, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Jingyuan's arm, and pushed her away forcefully.
There was a burning pain in the neck, no matter how good Zhang Minxian was at cultivating his qi, his face would turn pale with rage.
However, Qiu Jingyuan didn't know how to measure, and was caught by Qian Shi, and now she pointed at Zhang Minxian and yelled, "You stupid official, you dare to help this bitch, I must tell my father, tell my uncle, wait Take off your official hat, let me see how you can help this bitch!"
Zhan Feiyu looked sympathetically at Zhang Minxian who was being scolded by pointing at his nose. If the scolding continued, Zhang Tongzhi would really kill someone. "Ah Nuan, I knocked people out, my ears hurt from the noise."
He Nuan carried out the order to the letter.
The yelling Qiu Jingyuan only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and fainted on Qian's body as soon as her eyes went dark. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, He Nuan made a move, and the guards of Qiu's mansion did not stop him.
Even though Mrs. Qian was all-round, she would still have a terrible headache. She knew that Qiu Jingyuan was spoiled, had a bad temper, and was domineering, but she really didn't expect the dignified daughter of the Qiu family to be so brainless.
She beat Zhang Tongzhi, and when the time came, she patted her ass and returned to Qianzhong Road. Zhang Tongzhi had nothing to do with her, but Qian's family was in the adjacent Shanzhou Prefecture, and Mr. Zhou, the Tongzhi of Shanzhou Prefecture, was still Mr. Zhang's brother-in-law, so he had to clean up. The merchant and the Qian family are not a matter of one word.
Even Mrs. Zhang, who was yelling and shouting at the beginning, was silent. Back then when she beat the beautiful concubine to death, the master was also furious at that time. His terrifying expression was almost the same as this meeting, and Mrs. Zhang was also persuaded.
"Master Zhang, it's getting late. I have to go back to Xiangwu County, so I'll take my leave first." Zhan Feiyu broke the eerie calm, and she would be embarrassed to stay any longer.
Zhang Minxian tried his best to maintain his usual expression, but his face was still a little stiff, "It's really getting late, I'm sending Miss Zhan out."
The two walked towards the stairs together, followed by He Sheng and He Nuan.
When Zhang Minxian left, everyone let out a long breath.
"Remember, nothing happened today, who dares to go out and talk nonsense, my wife will kill him!" Mrs. Zhang started to shriek again, threatening Jiang Butou and others with a fierce expression. .
Mrs. Qian also went on the road, and immediately took over the conversation, "Madam, please don't worry, we have been in the Accord just now, and we haven't seen or heard anything."
In the backyard of the restaurant, He Sheng drove over in a carriage, He Nuan lifted the curtain, and Zhan Feiyu said goodbye to Zhang Minxian, "My lord, please stay."
"Miss Zhan, go slowly." Zhang Minxian's face became completely gloomy as he watched the carriage leave the backyard.
After standing outside for a while, Zhang Minxian gritted his teeth when he saw Jiang Butou approaching, "What's going on?"
The arrester who reported before only said that Mrs. Zhang had a conflict with someone in the restaurant. Zhang Minxian hurried over when he learned that one party was Zhan Feiyu. He didn't know what happened, and it was freezing cold. Why did Zhan Feiyu come to Linzhou Prefecture?
"My lord, I asked the manager of the restaurant..."
Jiang Shan was able to be the head catcher, and Zhang Minxian suppressed Mrs. Zhang several times when she made a fuss, not because of the kinship of Wufu, but because Jiang catcher is really capable.
The cause of the conflict turned out to be because Hua Diao was drunk?Zhang Minxian rubbed his neck for this fucking shit. If Qiu Jingyuan hadn't been so valuable, he would have wanted to drag her to the yamen for a few boards. The daughter of a dignified family actually had a conflict with her over a dish.
Jiang Butou usually dealt with large and small conflicts in Linzhou Prefecture, and there were many cases of bullying others like this. Qiu Jingyuan kicked the iron plate this time. If it is an ordinary person, who is afraid of the name of the Qiu family will definitely make Hua Diao drunk get out.
"No, you just said that she had dinner with a grown man, and also called him Teacher?" Zhang Minxian was shocked. The only person who could be called a teacher by Zhan Feiyu was Gu Xueshi who was far away in the capital.
As for Qiu Jinyu, according to the information obtained by Zhang Minxian, although Qiu Zongxi had been pointing Zhan Feiyu's homework, she was always calling Mr. Qiu.
"Call the shopkeeper over!" Thinking that he almost met Gu Xueshi, Zhang Minxian strode towards the restaurant regardless of the embarrassment just now.
The shopkeeper and the waiter in charge of serving the food described Gu Qingzhou's appearance in detail, and Zhan Feiyu really called the teacher.
The waiter in the shop was a bit surprised at the time, he thought it was the elders leading his juniors, but he didn't expect it to be the master and apprentice.
"My lord, just listen to the accents of those servants. They are indeed from the capital." The shopkeeper is in the business of welcoming and delivering restaurants. He has seen all kinds of guests, so he can tell that the guards are It's from the capital.
Ask Catcher Jiang to tell the shopkeepers not to talk about this matter again. Zhang Minxian got on the official sedan chair and went back to the government office. He will not come to this restaurant again in a short time, and he is not even willing to see Mrs. Zhang.
……
As a staff member, Feng Pingqing has always been behind the scenes and rarely appeared in front of others, so even if he was worried that Mrs. Zhang would cause trouble for Zhang Minxian, he could only wait anxiously in the government office for this meeting.
Feng Pingqing, who was pacing back and forth in the room, heard footsteps, and immediately opened the door to greet him, "My lord."
Looking at Zhang Minxian's expression and the scratch marks on his neck, Feng Pingqing knew that something was wrong, a good wife and husband rarely cause trouble, and the ancients never deceived me.
"Let's talk in the room." Zhang Minxian entered the room with a tired face.
Feng Pingqing also followed immediately, motioned for the young man to stay outside, and then closed the door.
After Zhang Minxian explained the matter in detail, Feng Pingqing was also speechless. Looking at the bloodstains scratched by nails on Zhang Minxian's neck, he didn't know what to say. Shrews are not so aggressive.
"My lord, with Ms. Qiu's disposition, is this a cooperation with the third wife of the Qiu family?" Feng Pingqing asked the most crucial question.
Zhang Minxian, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hands in disdain, "With such a temperament and temper, do you still expect her to be able to handle Yang Xu?"
Yang Xu doesn't say how good he is, but looking at the closeness between him and Zhan Feiyu, it is enough to know that Yang Xu prefers a smart and polite girl like Zhan Feiyu.
Whether Qiu Jingyuan is a talented woman or not, she is so arrogant and unreasonable at such a young age, even if Yang Xu has no brains, she can't look down on Qiu Jingyuan.
Even if the third family of the Qiu family used Qiu Jinyu's death to force a marriage contract, Yang Xu and Qiu Jingyuan would respect each other like ice in the future, and it was absolutely impossible to expect Qiu Jingyuan to blow the pillow.
Feng Pingqing was right when he thought about it again, and he said that your lord and your wife, not to mention the deep love between husband and wife, are a pair of resentful spouses.
Feng Pingqing reckoned that if the time could be reversed, even if the adults were not married for the rest of their lives, they would not marry their wives, marrying a tigress would harm him.
It can be seen that Feng Pingqing is worried, but Zhang Minxian doesn't care, "Even if we want to cooperate with the third house of the Qiu family, it will not happen overnight. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
Before meeting Qiu Jingyuan, Zhang Minxian had some expectations. He didn't expect him to be as talented as Zhan Feiyu, but at least he should be knowledgeable or gentle and virtuous. Qiu Jingyuan has already been abandoned by the Qiu family.
At night, Zhang Minxian did not go back to the Zhang Mansion, but went to the Hongfeng Courtyard outside the city.
It's not surprising even if people know about it. Mrs. Zhang caused Zhang Minxian to lose face so much in the restaurant at noon. It's normal for him to go to the Zhuangzi to live for a while now.
In the dark secret room, only the light of the candle is illuminated, and the air in the airtight room does not circulate, so not only is it stuffy, because the secret room is underground, it is also very cold.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Yiyi, who was curled up under the blanket and shivering, raised her head.
After seeing the person coming, Zhang Yiyi sat up excitedly, and pulled the black iron chain on her ankle, making a clanging sound.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, I beg you to let me out, I will confess everything, those eight scoundrels were all killed by the guards of the Zhenbianhou Mansion, not Xiaoxu, it was the Zhenbianhou who wanted to frame Xiaoxu, It hurt Xiao Xu's reputation, big brother, you let me out, I am willing to testify."
He began to cry miserably, but because he didn't have much strength, the crying was not loud, it seemed to be held in his throat, which made people sound a little moved.
Having been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Minxian didn't like Zhang Yiyi's charming trick at all, so he interrupted her crying in a cold voice.
"Okay, since you are here, you should know that it is impossible to go out in this life, unless Yang Xu is willing to let you go out, but don't forget your current identity."
The female prisoner held in the prison in Xiangwu County, in addition to the crime of murder, there will be an additional charge of escape and absconding. The crime is added to the crime. If Zhang Yiyi really goes out, it is estimated that she will die and be imprisoned in a secret room. , at least you can save your life.
The crying stopped abruptly, and Zhang Yiyi sobbed twice, but she didn't dare to cry any more, because she knew that crying was useless, but her hoarse voice was full of hatred and unwillingness, "Yang Shoucheng is so cruel, what is he doing?" Deliberately trying to destroy me."
Even if she is caught and sent to prison, there will be a day when she will be cleared of her crimes, but now this "prison escape" is tantamount to cutting off all Zhang Yiyi's escape routes and saving her life. Yang Xu has no more concern for Zhang Yiyi's biological mother. .
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yiyi wished he could cut Yang Shoucheng's heart out to see if his heart was black. How could he be so cruel to himself? He gave birth to the son Yang Xu.
"You don't have to resent Yang Shoucheng, it's just a cycle of karma and bad retribution." Zhang Minxian didn't bother to listen to her complaints. She put such a green hat on Yang Shoucheng, and Yang Shoucheng didn't send anyone to kill her all these years. Tolerant and magnanimous.
As for Zhang Yiyi's wish to pretend that nothing happened, it would be better if he could go back to the General's Mansion and become the General's wife, or Yang Xu's loving mother, that is completely delusional, even a man would not agree.
"Even if Yang Xu has been in Shitou Village, you must know him a little bit. I will send a few girls over in a few days. You can teach them well. If they are able to persuade Yang Xu in the future, you will be able to see the light of day again. "Zhang Minxian had already planned this.
After all, Zhang Yiyi is Yang Xu's biological mother. Although she has never been to Shitou Village to see Yang Xu before, Zhang Yiyi must be very clear about the situation of the Yang family's grandfather and grandson in Shitou Village.
She is also well versed in women's tricks, if she really recruits a few people who are useful, she doesn't want to be Yang Xu's bedside person, even if she is a talkative maid, she will be of great use in the future.
Compared to being imprisoned in this dark secret room, sooner or later he would go crazy, it would be good if a few little girls came over, Zhang Yiyi agreed without thinking.
She may not have other skills, but she has a set of methods for dealing with men.
Just like Zhang Minxian's ulterior motives, Zhang Yiyi now sees hope again, if he can really bring out a little girl who will be favored by Yang Xu in the future, he might leave this secret room as soon as the wind blows beside his pillow.
……
Xiangwu County, Qiu Mansion.
In the study, looking at Zhan Feiyu who is in a good mood, Qiu Zongxi is also relieved. He is also worried that Zhan Feiyu will be depressed when Gu Qingzhou leaves.
"I met someone when I was in Linzhou Mansion." Zhan Feiyu said suddenly.
Not to mention Qiu Zongxi's curiosity, even Yang Xu, who was sitting on the sidelines, put down the pen in his hand. This person must be worth noting, otherwise Xiaoyu wouldn't take it out on purpose.
Zhan Feiyu looked at Yang Xu until he felt hairy in his heart, and then said quietly: "She is a girl from the third bedroom of the Qiu family, she seems to be called Qiu Jingyuan, she is in Linzhou Mansion, accompanied by an aunt, It is said that Qiu Jingyuan came to Shanzhou Mansion a few years ago, and spent this year at Qian's house."
"Qiu Jingyuan?" Qiu Zongxi frowned.
Because there is only such a little girl among the juniors of the Qiu family, even if she is the third bedroom girl, she still knows her name Qiu Zongxi.
In a girl's family who hadn't left the court, and was born in a scholarly family, the key point was that the third house was the most disciplined and talked about etiquette all day long. Qiu Jingyuan actually went out alone, which really surprised Qiu Zongxi.
"Xiaoyu, what are you looking at me for?" Yang Xu was puzzled. With the example of Qiu Jinyu in front of him, Yang Xu is very disgusted with the people in the third room now, and he doesn't even want to mention it.
With a smirk on Zhan Feiyu's face, he winked mischievously at Yang Xu, "The old saying is good, female juniors should hold gold bricks."
The Forbidden Dragon Guard is the best at inquiring about news, so it has only been two hours since we left Linzhou Mansion at noon, and Zhan Feiyu has already got the general situation of Qiu Jingyuan.
After the age of 12, she was just three years older than Yang Xu, and she only brought her servants from Qianzhong Road, so she ran away from home.
It's just that before Qiu Jingyuan went out, Qiu Jinyu hadn't been in danger yet, but anyone with a brain would know why Qiu Jingyuan, a rich lady, came to Longyou Road after traveling so far.
"Hmph, a barbarian spy is not enough, even Xiao Xu's marriage is being targeted." Qiu Zongxi slapped the table angrily, feeling even more disgusted with the omnipotent Sanfang.
Yang Xu also looked aggrieved after eating a fly.
Zhan Feiyu laughed unkindly, "There are rumors outside that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou to save you, so you owe your life to the third house of the Qiu family. It is not too much to ask for you to marry Qiu Jingyuan."
If Qiu Jinyu was really the only son of Sanfang, and he was a dignified little Sanyuan, and he died because of saving Yang Xu, this request is really not out of the ordinary.
In fact, if Qiu Jinyu hadn't died, Qiu Jingyuan, a younger sister, had traveled all the way to find her elder brother, and then lived in Qiu's mansion. With Qiu Jinyu's help, it would be normal for her and Yang Xu to have a long-term relationship.
Yang Xu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and his scalp tingled just thinking about it.
Especially knowing that Qiu Jingyuan was in Linzhou Mansion, Yang Xu couldn't help regretting it. It might as well be that Qiu Jinyu died at the hands of Zhu Xiao, so Sanfang couldn't ask him to force the marriage.
"Don't look at me, I'm not good at this, Xiao Xu, you lack tempering, or you can use Qiu Jingyuan to practice your hands." Qiu Zongxi pushed the matter away completely, as if he was old, old, what kind of love Love, tsk tsk, let the junior handle it by himself.
Zhan Feiyu is definitely a crow's mouth. It's not even time for dinner, and the servants come to report Qiu Jingyuan's arrival, and the carriage stops outside the gate of Qiu's mansion.
Qiu Zongxi handed the greeting card to Yang Xu without even reading it, and whoever caused it will be responsible for the mess.
"Sir, Taoism is governed by politics, and uniformity is punished, and the people are free from shame. Taoism is based on virtue, and uniformity is based on propriety, which is shameful and dignified. How should this sentence be understood?" Zhan Feiyu asked Qiu Zongxi seriously.
On the side, the corner of Yang Xu's mouth twitched while holding the greeting card. Is Xiaoyu bullying him for not studying enough?But even if he has read few books, he still knows that this sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius", and Xiaoyu has already studied the four books!
If it was before, Yang Xu probably would have given up his burden and quit.
But at this moment, even though he was not happy, Yang Xu got up and walked out the door. Since it was aimed at him, he really had to be responsible for solving it, and he couldn't rely on others for everything.
In the carriage, Qiu Jingyuan waited a little impatiently, "Auntie, go out and have a look, what's going on, did the boy report it? Why is it taking so long!"
"Jingyuan." Seeing that even the slightest scar on Qiu Jingyuan's cheek was gone, Qian retracted her eyes and persuaded, "After all, this is Mr. Qiu's place. Mr. Qiu is highly respected. We are juniors, let alone waiting for a while." , Even if it is an hour, you have to wait."
Qian's kindly persuaded the violent Qiu Jingyuan, but her heart was full of contempt, so what if she was the only girl in the younger generation of the Qiu family?After being pampered a little, he is confident and even dares to challenge old Mr. Qiu.
Qian wanted to cut open Qiu Jingyuan's head to see if it was filled with water?
Even if the Patriarch of the Qiu family came, it would be impossible to break in without approval. Old Mr. Qiu's seniority is here, not to mention that he has the grace to save the lives of the Holy Master and Gu Xueshi.
Now that the Yang family has recovered, Mr. Qiu and General Yang are life-and-death friends, so Qian can be sure that if Qiu Jingyuan dares to be a bit presumptuous, she will be kicked out of Longyou Dao.
"Miss, someone has come out." Qing Hong, who was guarding outside the carriage, saw the door opened, and hurriedly replied.
Qian immediately tidied up her appearance and looked at Qiu Jingyuan again, seeing that there was nothing wrong, she let Qinghong lift the curtain to help Qiu Jingyuan get out of the carriage, and she followed.
As soon as Yang Xu came out, Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi followed. I will write homework later, so let's watch the excitement first.
"Who are you?" Frowning, Qiu Jingyuan looked at Yang Xu who was standing at the gate with distaste, a black boy, dressed so shabby, could it be a servant of Qiu's mansion?
Uncle Tang is becoming less and less particular about it. The huge mansion takes in all kinds of cats and dogs, and he is not afraid of hurting the good reputation of the Qiu family.
"Jingyuan, this may be Young Master Yang." Qian Shi was no longer angry. There were too many places where she got angry along the way, but she became peaceful when she got angry.
When she heard that this was Yang Xu, Qiu Jingyuan felt even more disgusted. She was the daughter of the Qiu family, and she liked those gentlemen and talented scholars.
Yang Xu is just a black boy, a black boy with a stern face as if someone owed him money, this shabby look, even if he gave her a horse, Qiu Jingyuan would despise him.
Not to mention the coldness of Longyou Dao, Qiu Jingyuan has been terribly cold in this short period of time, and thinking that once she gets married in the future, she will marry into this barren place, and live with wind, sand, dust or snow all day long...
Qiu Jingyuan was so disgusted that she wished she could leave immediately, she didn't even like such a young talent in Qianzhong Road, so did she have to demean herself and marry this vulgar black boy?
"Grandpa Qiu doesn't see any guests, please go back, both of you." With a sullen face, Yang Xu chased them away unkindly, and handed the greeting card to the housekeeper beside him, asking the housekeeper to return it to Qiu Jingyuan.
Qiu Zongxi didn't like Qiu's family to disturb them. Even the juniors from the Patriarch's line came over these years, and Qiu Zongxi only met them once, and then drove them away, let alone the people from the third room. Already for the sake of the same ancestor.
"Why are you so rude!" Qiu Jingyuan lost her temper, pointing at Yang Xu and shouting angrily, "Do you know who I am? This is the territory of the Qiu family, how dare you drive me away? "
If the Yang family hadn't recovered, Qiu Jingyuan's scolding would be fine, but the Yang family was wronged, Yang Xu is the proper young son of the general's mansion, the future heir, in terms of status, he is much more noble than Qiu Jingyuan.
Yang Xu has experienced many things, he is no longer Wuxia Amon, and he will lose his face to Qiu Jingyuan who is scolding, "I don't know who you are, but I am Yang Xu from the Yang family, if you dare to scold me one more word , I won't let you get out of Longyou Road!"
Zhan Feiyu, who was peeking behind the gate, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and said in a low voice, "Yang Xu can actually bully others."
"Learned from you." Qiu Zongxi hummed, this is to learn good from good, and bad from bad.
Qiu Jingyuan fell on her back angrily, the black boy she despised dared to threaten her!Qiu Jingyuan wished that the guards would come forward and teach Yang Xu a lesson, making him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
But she talked too much just now, and there was still a slight pain on her cheek, which made Qiu Jingyuan, who had been slapped, suddenly dare not be presumptuous.
After all, Yang Xu's identity is here. If he really gave the order, and Qiu Jiayuan couldn't solve the near fire, then Qiu Jingyuan must be the one who was unlucky in the end.
Looking at Qiu Jingyuan, who had a distorted expression, resentful and unwilling, but did not dare to swear at others, Yang Xu suddenly felt that it was really enjoyable to speak like this. For Yu, it would be: I just like that you hate me, but it looks like you can't kill me.
Qian looked at Qiu Jingyuan speechlessly, who did not accomplish much but failed. Her status was valuable, so it also depended on who she was facing. She dared to play tricks with the young master of the general's mansion, and did not see if the other party would buy it.
Accompanied by a smiling face, Qian took two steps forward, and said with a slight smile, "Please forgive me, young master. Jingyuan was also emotionally unstable and took her anger on young master because of the news of the eldest son's death. Please forgive me, young master."
Qiu Jinyu died, and died in the mouth to save Yang Xu, because of this great kindness, Yang Xu should also treat Qiu Jingyuan well.
When he heard Qiu Jinyu's name, Yang Xu's expression became even uglier. Fortunately, he had a dark complexion, so there was not much difference between the look of disgust and anger and the look of grief.
"Where is my brother's body? I want to take him back to Qianzhong Road." Qiu Jingyuan said bitterly, staring at Yang Xu angrily.
Guessing she was confident, Qiu Jingyuan's attitude was even worse than before, and she sneered, "If my elder brother has a spirit in heaven, I'm afraid he would rather save a beast than save some ungrateful and wolf-hearted people!"
"The corpse is temporarily stored in Yizhuang. If you want to go, I will ask someone to lead you the way." Yang Xu threw out the words forcefully, judging by his attitude, he was not at all grateful.
This made Qian, who had been observing silently, feel a little thump in his heart. Could it be that the news was wrong?
But the news that came out before said that Yang Xu and the eldest son hit it off right away, and they were like brothers. Why now that the eldest son is dead, Yang Xu's attitude has undergone an earth-shaking change. He is too unfeeling and ungrateful, right? Didn't even bother to whitewash the peace.
Qiu Jingyuan's anger surged again, and she forgot Yang Xu's threat just now under her anger, and asked aggressively, "Is this how you treat your savior?"
Yang Xu snorted coldly, and also turned back unceremoniously, "Don't say anything about saving your life, one: I didn't let Qiu Jinyu leave the unarmed people in Xiangwu County to save me!"
"Secondly, at Aozikou that night, although there were enemies in ambush, my father had already made arrangements for those young people to come in vertically and go out horizontally, but because of your elder brother's sudden appearance, our original plan was disrupted. To save him, I sacrificed three of my subordinates! He deserves death!"
Not to mention that Qiu Jingyuan and Qin Shi were stunned for a while, Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi behind the gate were also dumbfounded.
Yang Xu has made rapid progress. He was originally an elm-headed person, but now he is fooling people with one set of statements, so realistic that they all believe it is true.
With Yang Xu being so pretentious, it's really hard for the Qian family to use Qiu Jinyu's death as an issue. The Yang family had already planned it out, but Qiu Jinyu's sudden appearance broke the plan and caused Yang Xu's death, so it's no wonder He is annoyed.
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense at all!" Qiu Jingyuan was not willing to accept this statement, because she didn't like Yang Xu, a black boy, and she didn't want to make a marriage contract with him.
But Qiu Jingyuan didn't think it was her business, her arrogance would never allow Yang Xu to regret the marriage.
Furious, Qiu Jingyuan screamed and scolded, "You obviously don't want to acknowledge my elder brother's life-saving grace, so you are just talking nonsense here. My elder brother was killed to save you. Go to Longyou Road and ask someone. Everyone knows that my elder brother died because of you!"
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, the truth is the truth. If it wasn't for Grandpa Qiu's sake, I wouldn't cover it up for Qiu Jinyu at all. Since you want to see the corpse, go there. As soon as the sky is dark, Yizhuang will be closed!"
Yang Xu dropped his words and didn't find anyone to lead them the way. After returning to the Qiu Mansion, he asked the gatekeeper to slam the door shut.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi standing aside, the indifference on Yang Xu's face faded instantly, and he returned to his usual normal expression.
"Yang Xu, Yang Xu, I didn't expect you to be so good at fooling people." Zhan Feiyu came over and patted Yang Xu on the shoulder, turned around and smiled at Qiu Zongxi: "Is this the way you treat people with admiration for three days?" .”
"It was handled well." Qiu Zongxi also rarely praised Yang Xu, thinking of Qiu Jingyuan's domineering attitude, she was indeed the daughter of Sanfang, equally defiant and domineering.
"Grandpa Qiu, Xiaoyu, I'm going to release someone to release the news, so that Sanfang can't threaten me with life-saving grace." Yang Xu suddenly realized that lying is not that difficult, as long as he keeps a straight face on his face. .
Once this news is released, the third family of the Qiu family will definitely fight back, including the secret enemies of the Yang family, who are still lingering at the moment, and it is estimated that they will not miss any opportunity to smear Yang Xu.
However, considering that Yang Xu is still young, even if the rumor of ingratitude spreads, it will not have a big impact on Yang Xu, and the most important thing in the army is skill, the ability to kill the enemy with real swords and guns. Lipstick.
With the approval of Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi, Yang Xu rarely smiled, "I'll go to the blacksmith shop to discuss with Old Man Tie."
Even though the Yang family recovered, Old General Yang still lives in Shitou Village for the time being, and the blacksmith shop is still there, but now there is only Old Man Tie left. His three sons have all returned to the army again, and they are all under Yang Shoucheng. under the command of
Probably not wanting to meet Qiu Jingyuan outside the door again, Yang Xu left directly through the side door of Qiu Mansion.
Zhan Feiyu followed Qiu Zongxi to the study. After watching the excitement, he still had to do his homework.
After three or two steps, Qiu Zongxi stopped suddenly, and stared at Zhan Feiyu suspiciously, "No, even Yang Xu, an elm-headed man, can think of this way to get rid of Sanfang in a hurry, you can't think of it, Little girl, what kind of charades are you playing?"
If it was said at the beginning that Qiu Jinyu was eager for quick success, left the people of Xiangwu County alone, and went to Aozikou in order to curry favor with Yang Xu, but in the end it turned out that the success was more than failure, not only did not save people, but became a burden, Yang Xu Bian killed several of his men in order to save him.
In this way, even if Sanfang has other opinions in the future, everyone has preconceived it, and Longyou Dao is the domain of the Yang family. How much the people in the border pass support the Yang family, they will definitely believe Yang Xu's words.
Then Yang Xu didn't need to care about the kindness of saving his life, the third housekeeper didn't dare to repay the favor, let alone book Qiu Jingyuan to Yang Xu.
Zhan Feiyu grinned, his expression extremely innocent, "I don't know, I'm just a child in charge of reading, this is an adult's business, sir, you don't know, I don't even know."
This matter was indeed decided by Yin Wuyan, Gu Qingzhou, General Yang, and Yang Shoucheng. Why did he only say that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou, at the hands of the enemy? Zhan Feiyu really didn't think about it. After all, Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou It's all there, she really doesn't need to use her brain.
"I don't know, it's because the old man is too lazy to take care of these chores!" Qiu Zongxi glared angrily, he didn't know, it was also because he was used to idleness, and he didn't bother to ask about these plots.
But thinking about the presence of Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng at that time, Qiu Zongxi stopped asking the bottom line. God knows if they had any plans, maybe they kept a hand on purpose.
(End of this chapter)
An old friend visiting?Not to mention Jiang Butou was surprised, Mrs. Zhang and other people present also looked at Zhan Feiyu with strange expressions.
If this is an adult, even if it is a mud leg, they will believe that the other party may have a relationship with Zhang Tongzhi after saying these words.
But a short, chubby little girl spoke so old-fashionedly that it really made people want to laugh, but Zhan Feiyu looked extremely serious.
"Which bastard protruding from a corner dares to talk nonsense at such a young age? What are you? Paying back an old friend?" Mrs. Zhang said viciously, pointing at Zhan Feiyu and yelling.
"You know how to seduce men at such a young age? Pooh, you shameless bitch, Mother Hu tore the mouth of this bitch for me!"
The mother Hu who was called was dumbfounded. Just now, whether it was a guard or a yamen servant, she was beaten up crying for her father and mother. She is an old woman who usually plays prestige to the little maids in the Zhang Mansion and asks her to do it. , if she gets kicked, she probably won't be able to get up again.
"My mother said that sluts don't care about age, and they look so charming, so they're not good at first glance!" Qiu Jingyuan claimed to be a beauty, but she had a domineering temper, and she couldn't get used to girls who were prettier than her.
Whenever there is someone prettier than herself, Qiu Jingyuan will always try to ruin the other's face.
After going on like this for a long time, none of the girls who participated in the flower fairs or banquets dared to show their faces in front of Qiu Jingyuan, and if they had to, they would all dress up as ugly.
Zhan Feiyu is still childish, Qiu Jingyuan didn't care at first, but she shouldn't have big round eyes, Qiu Jingyuan is also beautiful, but her eyes are not round enough, she looks a bit squinted.
Zhan Feiyu stood up. Even a country shrew would not easily swear such dirty words, especially to the little girl who was not as good as Ji. Unexpectedly, the two people in front of him uttered dirty words. What kind of temperament.
"Ah Nuan." Zhan Feiyu said softly, and Baozi looked terrified without a smile on his face.
He Nuan's speed was extremely fast, and Mrs. Zhang and Qiu Jingyuan, who were so proud of themselves, only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and there were two slaps, their cheeks were slapped off, blood was bleeding from the corner of their mouths, and five finger marks appeared on their white faces instantly.
The entire second floor fell into an eerie silence for an instant. Although Mrs. Zhang scolded harshly, no one thought that a little girl like Zhan Feiyu would dare to do it. The key is that Mrs. Tongzhi was the one who slapped her, the mistress of Zhang's house in the future.
Touching her cheek, the pain came, and Madam Zhang realized that she had been beaten. The whole person was like an enraged beast, and roared like crazy, "You dare to hit me? You bitch, how dare you hit me?" I, I'm going to kill you..."
Roaring hysterically, she lost her mind in anger, Mrs. Zhang even forgot that He Nuan was a practicer, and rushed towards Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan like a crazy woman.
Qiu Jingyuan, who was also beaten, was still very confused. Let alone her identity, no one would dare to say a harsh word to her even if it was a harsh word.
Of course, if it was because there were no girls in the direct line of the Qiu family and her contemporaries, Qiu Jingyuan would be the only one out there, so she acted domineeringly and arrogantly.
But no matter what, it is a girl's family after all, and if it goes too far, it is the backyard's business. No one in the family's family will care about it, and others dare not complain to the Qiu family.
It was the first time Qiu Jingyuan was beaten, but she didn't react, which subconsciously relieved the Qian family and the others beside her. If this little ancestor started to make a fuss, the sky in Linzhou Prefecture would probably be broken.
It is impossible for Mrs. Zhang to make a move, and it is impossible for Jiang Butou to watch from the sidelines. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang has gone crazy, and He Nuan still has a sense of proportion in his actions. He pushed the person out, protected by a maidservant, but he was not injured. Of course, except for Just that slap.
"There is no need to embarrass Captain Jiang, just wait for Zhang Tongzhi to come." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, it seems that the teacher is right, and he is indeed good at causing trouble.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. He Nuan is obviously a master. Jiang Butou is sure that he will not win even if he fights. Moreover, Mrs. Zhang has to be dealt with.
"Alright, miss, wait a moment." Jiang Butou didn't dare to leave, fearing that Mrs. Zhang would go crazy again, so he asked the maidservant and Madam Hu to stop him, and ordered the most exciting subordinate to report to the government office.
It happened that Zhang Tongzhi was on duty today, if it was someone else, he would be leisurely drinking tea and reading a book at this moment, but Zhang Tongzhi was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.
The situation in Longyou Dao has changed, and the Marquis' Mansion at the edge of the town has collapsed, so whether it is Zhang Tongtong or his Shangfeng Zhou Zhifu, they have been busy these past few days. It's too much business to deal with.
"My lord, drink some ginseng tea." Staff member Feng Pingqing handed over the teacup. With Mrs. Zhang's temper, don't expect her to be a good helper, thank God if she doesn't cause trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Minxian's daily life is taken care of by the housekeeper of the Zhang family. If he is away from home, Feng Pingqing, the staff, will take care of it. There are servants on the left and right, and Feng Pingqing only needs to open his mouth.
After drinking a cup of ginseng tea, Zhang Minxian rubbed the center of his brows, his clear face was thinner than when he went to Xiangwu County that day, and his eyes were bloodshot. These days have been extremely hard.
"The huge Zhenbian Hou's mansion collapsed as soon as it was said, and the Yang family held the military power and finally waited for a comeback." Zhang Minxian's face was tired, and his voice was bitter. If he knew that it would only take eight or nine years for the Yang family to recover, back then How could the Zhang family fall into trouble.
Even if the Yang family doesn't pursue it now, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Minxian to go further with the current situation.
"My lord, there are no absolutes. Since the daughter of the Qiu family came to Linzhou Mansion, she must be aiming at Young Master Xu. If she can win over Miss Qiu." Feng Pingqing was thinking about the pillow wind, and he knew Yang Xu's character a little bit. , women don't look weak, it is also a sharp weapon if it can be used well.
Zhang Minxian didn't know Qiu Jingyuan well, after all, she was a little girl from the back house, and she hadn't reached Ji, so it was not easy to inquire about her situation, but Zhang Minxian knew a little about the third bedroom of the Qiu family.
"Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou to save Yang Xu, and the Yang family will not lose a life in exchange for a marriage." Zhang Minxian thought carefully, the third room has always wanted to seize power, but it is not easy to bring down the patriarch's line.
Yang Xu can be said to be the hope of the third house. Once Yang Xu becomes the son-in-law of the third house, with the support of the general's mansion, it will be much easier for the third house of the Qiu family to seize power.
But among them was Qiu Zongxi, he was the highest-ranking person in the direct branch, and he was a life-and-death friend with Old General Yang, and he even regarded Yang Xu as his grandson.
So in a short period of time, at least when Old General Yang was still alive, it was impossible for the Yang family to help Sanfang deal with the direct branch.
But in ten or eight years, if Qiu Jingyuan gave birth to a child, coupled with years of wind blowing beside the pillow, it would be normal for Yang Xu to prefer the third bedroom.
"My lord, the third family of the Qiu family doesn't have any influence in Longyou Dao. This is our advantage." Feng Pingqing thought about this matter from the beginning to the end after knowing Qiu Jingyuan's existence.
Sanfang doesn't say that it wants to control Yang Xu, but at least it needs to know Yang Xu's situation in Longyou Dao. It is impossible to rely on Qiu Zongxi, so it can only cooperate with local forces in Longyou Dao, and the Zhang family is the most suitable for Sanfang Cooperative partner.
First of all, the Zhang family is Yang Xu's natal family, no matter how many conflicts there were in the past, the blood ties and family ties kept breaking up.
Furthermore, Sanfang also knew that Yang Xu didn't want to see the Zhang family, and that the Zhang family could only rely on Qiu Jingyuan to repair their relationship. In this way, both parties would benefit from each other and help each other.
With the Zhang family's help, not only can Yang Xu's news be sent back to Qianzhong Road, but also someone can help Qiu Jingyuan do what she wants to do in the future, so that she can secure her position as the general's wife.
Otherwise, she would marry to Longyou Dao with no relatives, have the title of general's wife for nothing, but she can't do anything. If she has been huddled in the back house, how can she help Sanfang fight for the position of head of the family?
Here Zhang Minxian and Feng Pingqing are still discussing in detail, and the young man guarding outside replied: "My lord..."
After entering the house, the policeman didn't dare to delay, and quickly told the story of the restaurant. After all, even Mrs. Zhang was slapped. This meeting is going on. If the adults don't go to deal with it, I don't know what will happen. .
"An old friend from Xiangwu County?" Zhang Minxian heard that she was a beautiful little girl with two attendants, a man and a woman, and immediately thought of Zhan Feiyu.
Standing up after a while, Zhang Minxian strode out the door.
The policeman was dumbfounded, it turned out that the little girl was not lying, she was really an old friend of Mr. Zhang.
With Catcher Jiang around, no matter how much Mrs. Zhang yells, the cops won't do anything, and they will be sent up to be beaten. They are not stupid, and besides, the guards stand still like deaf people.
The cheeks that were slapped were hot and painful. The first time Mrs. Zhang was slapped in her life was in the second year of marriage. Less than a month after her son was born, Zhang Minxian brought a beautiful concubine into the house.
Mrs. Zhang exploded at that time, and rushed over with the dowry maids and women. Looking at the skinny horse from Jiangnan, she beat him to death in a rage.
Unable to understand his hatred, he even threw the person on the bed, covered him with a quilt and it was over.
Zhang Minxian, who came back from the Yamen that night, threw himself on the bed with a single stride. It was conceivable that Zhang Minxian was so frightened that time that he drank the medicine for a whole month.
It's right to think about it, when the yamen was busy, he thought about the concubine at home, and when he came back, he saw that she was already lying on the bed, Zhang Minxian, who was distracted, naturally had a reaction.
But when he threw himself on the bed, he was confronted with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The pain and unwillingness before his death still remained on his face. Zhang Minxian was only softened by fright but not killed by fright. He was considered courageous.
Zhang Minxian, who was furious, slapped Mrs. Zhang severely, and scolded "shrew" angrily.
Therefore, no matter how domineering Mrs. Zhang is on weekdays, she doesn't dare to quarrel with her husband Zhang Minxian. It's not that she obeys the four virtues and regards her husband as the sky, but she is afraid of Zhang Minxian, and even more afraid that he will do something to her natal family. Damn, I still haven't been climbed on top of those vixen's heads to do my best.
Therefore, no matter how noisy Mrs. Zhang is, there is a limit to it. As long as she is not out of line, Zhang Minxian will not divorce his wife easily for the sake of fame and career.
This is the second time she has been slapped by someone, and the most important thing is a maidservant, Mrs. Zhang's anger can be imagined, she can kill He Nuan with a knife in her hand to vent her hatred.
It's a pity that the value of force is not enough, and Jiang Butou doesn't do anything, so he can only scream and curse at this meeting, swearing all kinds of dirty words.
As soon as he stepped into the lobby of the restaurant, Zhang Minxian heard the sharp and piercing scolding from upstairs, and Zhang Minxian became the bottom of the pot.
Especially outside the restaurant, there were quite a few people eavesdropping, guessing whose wife it was, who was so vicious and could swear all kinds of dirty words.
In comparison, the tigress at home is quite docile, at least not so aggressive in public.
Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, Butou Jiang greeted him immediately, "My lord."
Ignoring Jiang Butou and the others, Zhang Minxian saw Zhan Feiyu sitting on a chair holding a hand stove at a glance, "Zhan..."
"Master, you're finally here!" Mrs. Zhang's sharp voice sounded again. She was also a mid-30s old lady, and this meeting happened to be like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who threw herself at Zhang Minxian with great grievances. past.
"Master, this lowly girl dared to beat me. It's clear that the master doesn't take our Zhang family seriously..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Minxian looked at the chattering Mrs. Zhang warningly with a gloomy face, but no matter how disgusted he was, he couldn't suppress his anger under the watchful eyes of everyone, "Nurse Hu, help Mrs. Zhang to the hospital to see her injuries. "
Afterwards, ignoring the astonished Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Minxian walked towards Zhan Feiyu, "I'm so rude to you, Miss Zhan, please forgive me."
"Master Zhang is serious. It's just a quarrel. I'm acting impulsively. Please forgive Mr. Zhang." Zhan Feiyu said a few words politely. Slapped her and evened it out.
Jiang Butou and the others were stunned for a moment, this little girl is not only an old acquaintance of the adults, but also has a strong background, otherwise, how can the adults get along with each other like the same generation, it is really impossible to judge by appearances.
The one who suffered the most was Mrs. Zhang, who had lost her face. Zhang Minxian not only refused to seek justice for her, but also offered to apologize, which made Mrs. Zhang gnash her teeth angrily.
If it hadn't been for Nanny Hu grabbing her arm, mad Mrs. Zhang would have been unable to restrain herself and rushed to fight Zhan Feiyu.
"Madam, please calm down." Madam Hu said in a low voice, and begged to look at Madam Zhang, whose eyes were bloodshot from anger, "That must be someone of the younger generation that Master knows, Madam's overall situation is the most important thing."
Madam said one thing in the circle of noble ladies in Linzhou Prefecture. It was because the master was a co-prefect of Linzhou Prefecture, so Madam was able to rely on her husband.
But once the master is angered, even if he does not divorce his wife and puts his wife under house arrest in the back house, no one in Linzhou will pay for his wife.
Mrs. Zhang dared not speak out, but she couldn't swallow the anger, so she changed the subject: "Master, it's fine if I get beaten, but the key is Miss Qiu. This is the daughter of the Qiu family in the middle of Guizhou. The state capital has been bullied, once the Qiu family pursues it, what should we do?"
Qiu Jingyuan was originally arrogant and domineering, she was slapped by He Nuan before, and then she was taken to Yage by Qian to treat the wound on her cheek.
Qian also had no choice, the Qiu family sent guards over, but a dozen or so guards couldn't beat the pair of brothers and sisters, so they could only persuade Qiu Jingyuan to apply the medicine first, so as not to leave scars on her face.
As soon as she came out of the Accord, she heard Mrs. Zhang's words. Qiu Jingyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over clamoring, "Zhang Tong knows that you came at the right time. This bitch dares to instigate a murder, you arrest him immediately!"
It's no wonder that Qiu Jingyuan yelled at Zhang Minxian and used him immediately. She was favored in Qianzhong Road and had a domineering temper.
Besides, Zhang Minxian is only a fourth-rank official, Qiu Jingyuan doesn't pay attention to it, but his uncle is the governor of Qianzhong Road, and he is a second-rank official in frontier.
One just stopped and another came, Zhang Minxian glanced at Qiu Jingyuan who was clamoring.
Although he was born in a family, his speech and manners are far worse than Zhan Feiyu's. Zhang Minxian and Zhan Feiyu's peers, firstly because of their status as Gu Xueshi, and Zhan Feiyu holds the Token of Forbidden Dragon Guard.
Secondly, Zhan Feiyu has real talents and learning. The little Sanyuan of Nanxuan Mansion is transparent and considerate. Although he is a junior, it is reasonable for Zhang Minxian, who is also a scholar and has passed the imperial examination, to treat him differently.
But what about Qiu Jingyuan?Although she is the daughter of the Qiu family, she is just an ordinary person, and she dares to boss him around. It is normal for Zhang Minxian to be dissatisfied. If he wants to flatter even a junior, he will not be designated as the heir of the Zhang family by Zhang Zhifu. .
"Miss Qiu." Suppressing his anger, Zhang Minxian, who was dressed in an official uniform, still had that aloof and stern attitude, and said the polite words of the officialdom, "If Miss Qiu asks me to arrest someone, please hand over the certificate to the government office first." , I will definitely act in accordance with the law at that time.”
With a completely business-like attitude, Zhang Minxian looked at Qiu Jingyuan who was furious, and continued in a deep voice: "I want to remind Ms. Qiu that Ms. Zhan has a reputation. If Ms. Qiu wants to sue, I'm afraid she will be punished first." A meal."
Even if he was born in the Qiu family, so what, Qiu Jingyuan is a plain-headed commoner, but Zhan Feiyu has a reputation as a scholar, and he is even a junior. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a civil lawsuit against an official, but Zhang Minxian's attitude is a little bit biased, and it is normal for Qiu Jingyuan to be punished.
"You stupid official!" Qiu Jingyuan cursed angrily, especially when she saw Zhang Minxian's official appearance, she became so angry that she suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped Zhang Minxian in the face.
Fortunately, Qiu Jingyuan is only 12 years old. Although she is not short, she is still a bit shorter than Zhang Minxian, so this unexpected slap did not hit Zhang Minxian's face, but only hit him on the chin. neck.
The sloppy Qiu Jingyuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed it. Her well-maintained nails left three bloodstains on Zhang Minxian's neck.
Uh……
Not to mention that Zhang Minxian was stunned by the beating, Zhan Feiyu was also dumbfounded, this is a real warrior, he dared to slap the court official!
Even Zhan Feiyu couldn't beat Zhang Minxian in front of the Yamen's arresters and servants under the watchful eyes of the public. If the news got out, Zhang Minxian's reputation would definitely be discredited. How could he still govern a party in the future.
"Bold!" Jiang Butou shouted angrily, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Jingyuan's arm, and pushed her away forcefully.
There was a burning pain in the neck, no matter how good Zhang Minxian was at cultivating his qi, his face would turn pale with rage.
However, Qiu Jingyuan didn't know how to measure, and was caught by Qian Shi, and now she pointed at Zhang Minxian and yelled, "You stupid official, you dare to help this bitch, I must tell my father, tell my uncle, wait Take off your official hat, let me see how you can help this bitch!"
Zhan Feiyu looked sympathetically at Zhang Minxian who was being scolded by pointing at his nose. If the scolding continued, Zhang Tongzhi would really kill someone. "Ah Nuan, I knocked people out, my ears hurt from the noise."
He Nuan carried out the order to the letter.
The yelling Qiu Jingyuan only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and fainted on Qian's body as soon as her eyes went dark. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, He Nuan made a move, and the guards of Qiu's mansion did not stop him.
Even though Mrs. Qian was all-round, she would still have a terrible headache. She knew that Qiu Jingyuan was spoiled, had a bad temper, and was domineering, but she really didn't expect the dignified daughter of the Qiu family to be so brainless.
She beat Zhang Tongzhi, and when the time came, she patted her ass and returned to Qianzhong Road. Zhang Tongzhi had nothing to do with her, but Qian's family was in the adjacent Shanzhou Prefecture, and Mr. Zhou, the Tongzhi of Shanzhou Prefecture, was still Mr. Zhang's brother-in-law, so he had to clean up. The merchant and the Qian family are not a matter of one word.
Even Mrs. Zhang, who was yelling and shouting at the beginning, was silent. Back then when she beat the beautiful concubine to death, the master was also furious at that time. His terrifying expression was almost the same as this meeting, and Mrs. Zhang was also persuaded.
"Master Zhang, it's getting late. I have to go back to Xiangwu County, so I'll take my leave first." Zhan Feiyu broke the eerie calm, and she would be embarrassed to stay any longer.
Zhang Minxian tried his best to maintain his usual expression, but his face was still a little stiff, "It's really getting late, I'm sending Miss Zhan out."
The two walked towards the stairs together, followed by He Sheng and He Nuan.
When Zhang Minxian left, everyone let out a long breath.
"Remember, nothing happened today, who dares to go out and talk nonsense, my wife will kill him!" Mrs. Zhang started to shriek again, threatening Jiang Butou and others with a fierce expression. .
Mrs. Qian also went on the road, and immediately took over the conversation, "Madam, please don't worry, we have been in the Accord just now, and we haven't seen or heard anything."
In the backyard of the restaurant, He Sheng drove over in a carriage, He Nuan lifted the curtain, and Zhan Feiyu said goodbye to Zhang Minxian, "My lord, please stay."
"Miss Zhan, go slowly." Zhang Minxian's face became completely gloomy as he watched the carriage leave the backyard.
After standing outside for a while, Zhang Minxian gritted his teeth when he saw Jiang Butou approaching, "What's going on?"
The arrester who reported before only said that Mrs. Zhang had a conflict with someone in the restaurant. Zhang Minxian hurried over when he learned that one party was Zhan Feiyu. He didn't know what happened, and it was freezing cold. Why did Zhan Feiyu come to Linzhou Prefecture?
"My lord, I asked the manager of the restaurant..."
Jiang Shan was able to be the head catcher, and Zhang Minxian suppressed Mrs. Zhang several times when she made a fuss, not because of the kinship of Wufu, but because Jiang catcher is really capable.
The cause of the conflict turned out to be because Hua Diao was drunk?Zhang Minxian rubbed his neck for this fucking shit. If Qiu Jingyuan hadn't been so valuable, he would have wanted to drag her to the yamen for a few boards. The daughter of a dignified family actually had a conflict with her over a dish.
Jiang Butou usually dealt with large and small conflicts in Linzhou Prefecture, and there were many cases of bullying others like this. Qiu Jingyuan kicked the iron plate this time. If it is an ordinary person, who is afraid of the name of the Qiu family will definitely make Hua Diao drunk get out.
"No, you just said that she had dinner with a grown man, and also called him Teacher?" Zhang Minxian was shocked. The only person who could be called a teacher by Zhan Feiyu was Gu Xueshi who was far away in the capital.
As for Qiu Jinyu, according to the information obtained by Zhang Minxian, although Qiu Zongxi had been pointing Zhan Feiyu's homework, she was always calling Mr. Qiu.
"Call the shopkeeper over!" Thinking that he almost met Gu Xueshi, Zhang Minxian strode towards the restaurant regardless of the embarrassment just now.
The shopkeeper and the waiter in charge of serving the food described Gu Qingzhou's appearance in detail, and Zhan Feiyu really called the teacher.
The waiter in the shop was a bit surprised at the time, he thought it was the elders leading his juniors, but he didn't expect it to be the master and apprentice.
"My lord, just listen to the accents of those servants. They are indeed from the capital." The shopkeeper is in the business of welcoming and delivering restaurants. He has seen all kinds of guests, so he can tell that the guards are It's from the capital.
Ask Catcher Jiang to tell the shopkeepers not to talk about this matter again. Zhang Minxian got on the official sedan chair and went back to the government office. He will not come to this restaurant again in a short time, and he is not even willing to see Mrs. Zhang.
……
As a staff member, Feng Pingqing has always been behind the scenes and rarely appeared in front of others, so even if he was worried that Mrs. Zhang would cause trouble for Zhang Minxian, he could only wait anxiously in the government office for this meeting.
Feng Pingqing, who was pacing back and forth in the room, heard footsteps, and immediately opened the door to greet him, "My lord."
Looking at Zhang Minxian's expression and the scratch marks on his neck, Feng Pingqing knew that something was wrong, a good wife and husband rarely cause trouble, and the ancients never deceived me.
"Let's talk in the room." Zhang Minxian entered the room with a tired face.
Feng Pingqing also followed immediately, motioned for the young man to stay outside, and then closed the door.
After Zhang Minxian explained the matter in detail, Feng Pingqing was also speechless. Looking at the bloodstains scratched by nails on Zhang Minxian's neck, he didn't know what to say. Shrews are not so aggressive.
"My lord, with Ms. Qiu's disposition, is this a cooperation with the third wife of the Qiu family?" Feng Pingqing asked the most crucial question.
Zhang Minxian, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hands in disdain, "With such a temperament and temper, do you still expect her to be able to handle Yang Xu?"
Yang Xu doesn't say how good he is, but looking at the closeness between him and Zhan Feiyu, it is enough to know that Yang Xu prefers a smart and polite girl like Zhan Feiyu.
Whether Qiu Jingyuan is a talented woman or not, she is so arrogant and unreasonable at such a young age, even if Yang Xu has no brains, she can't look down on Qiu Jingyuan.
Even if the third family of the Qiu family used Qiu Jinyu's death to force a marriage contract, Yang Xu and Qiu Jingyuan would respect each other like ice in the future, and it was absolutely impossible to expect Qiu Jingyuan to blow the pillow.
Feng Pingqing was right when he thought about it again, and he said that your lord and your wife, not to mention the deep love between husband and wife, are a pair of resentful spouses.
Feng Pingqing reckoned that if the time could be reversed, even if the adults were not married for the rest of their lives, they would not marry their wives, marrying a tigress would harm him.
It can be seen that Feng Pingqing is worried, but Zhang Minxian doesn't care, "Even if we want to cooperate with the third house of the Qiu family, it will not happen overnight. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."
Before meeting Qiu Jingyuan, Zhang Minxian had some expectations. He didn't expect him to be as talented as Zhan Feiyu, but at least he should be knowledgeable or gentle and virtuous. Qiu Jingyuan has already been abandoned by the Qiu family.
At night, Zhang Minxian did not go back to the Zhang Mansion, but went to the Hongfeng Courtyard outside the city.
It's not surprising even if people know about it. Mrs. Zhang caused Zhang Minxian to lose face so much in the restaurant at noon. It's normal for him to go to the Zhuangzi to live for a while now.
In the dark secret room, only the light of the candle is illuminated, and the air in the airtight room does not circulate, so not only is it stuffy, because the secret room is underground, it is also very cold.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhang Yiyi, who was curled up under the blanket and shivering, raised her head.
After seeing the person coming, Zhang Yiyi sat up excitedly, and pulled the black iron chain on her ankle, making a clanging sound.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, I beg you to let me out, I will confess everything, those eight scoundrels were all killed by the guards of the Zhenbianhou Mansion, not Xiaoxu, it was the Zhenbianhou who wanted to frame Xiaoxu, It hurt Xiao Xu's reputation, big brother, you let me out, I am willing to testify."
He began to cry miserably, but because he didn't have much strength, the crying was not loud, it seemed to be held in his throat, which made people sound a little moved.
Having been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Minxian didn't like Zhang Yiyi's charming trick at all, so he interrupted her crying in a cold voice.
"Okay, since you are here, you should know that it is impossible to go out in this life, unless Yang Xu is willing to let you go out, but don't forget your current identity."
The female prisoner held in the prison in Xiangwu County, in addition to the crime of murder, there will be an additional charge of escape and absconding. The crime is added to the crime. If Zhang Yiyi really goes out, it is estimated that she will die and be imprisoned in a secret room. , at least you can save your life.
The crying stopped abruptly, and Zhang Yiyi sobbed twice, but she didn't dare to cry any more, because she knew that crying was useless, but her hoarse voice was full of hatred and unwillingness, "Yang Shoucheng is so cruel, what is he doing?" Deliberately trying to destroy me."
Even if she is caught and sent to prison, there will be a day when she will be cleared of her crimes, but now this "prison escape" is tantamount to cutting off all Zhang Yiyi's escape routes and saving her life. Yang Xu has no more concern for Zhang Yiyi's biological mother. .
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yiyi wished he could cut Yang Shoucheng's heart out to see if his heart was black. How could he be so cruel to himself? He gave birth to the son Yang Xu.
"You don't have to resent Yang Shoucheng, it's just a cycle of karma and bad retribution." Zhang Minxian didn't bother to listen to her complaints. She put such a green hat on Yang Shoucheng, and Yang Shoucheng didn't send anyone to kill her all these years. Tolerant and magnanimous.
As for Zhang Yiyi's wish to pretend that nothing happened, it would be better if he could go back to the General's Mansion and become the General's wife, or Yang Xu's loving mother, that is completely delusional, even a man would not agree.
"Even if Yang Xu has been in Shitou Village, you must know him a little bit. I will send a few girls over in a few days. You can teach them well. If they are able to persuade Yang Xu in the future, you will be able to see the light of day again. "Zhang Minxian had already planned this.
After all, Zhang Yiyi is Yang Xu's biological mother. Although she has never been to Shitou Village to see Yang Xu before, Zhang Yiyi must be very clear about the situation of the Yang family's grandfather and grandson in Shitou Village.
She is also well versed in women's tricks, if she really recruits a few people who are useful, she doesn't want to be Yang Xu's bedside person, even if she is a talkative maid, she will be of great use in the future.
Compared to being imprisoned in this dark secret room, sooner or later he would go crazy, it would be good if a few little girls came over, Zhang Yiyi agreed without thinking.
She may not have other skills, but she has a set of methods for dealing with men.
Just like Zhang Minxian's ulterior motives, Zhang Yiyi now sees hope again, if he can really bring out a little girl who will be favored by Yang Xu in the future, he might leave this secret room as soon as the wind blows beside his pillow.
……
Xiangwu County, Qiu Mansion.
In the study, looking at Zhan Feiyu who is in a good mood, Qiu Zongxi is also relieved. He is also worried that Zhan Feiyu will be depressed when Gu Qingzhou leaves.
"I met someone when I was in Linzhou Mansion." Zhan Feiyu said suddenly.
Not to mention Qiu Zongxi's curiosity, even Yang Xu, who was sitting on the sidelines, put down the pen in his hand. This person must be worth noting, otherwise Xiaoyu wouldn't take it out on purpose.
Zhan Feiyu looked at Yang Xu until he felt hairy in his heart, and then said quietly: "She is a girl from the third bedroom of the Qiu family, she seems to be called Qiu Jingyuan, she is in Linzhou Mansion, accompanied by an aunt, It is said that Qiu Jingyuan came to Shanzhou Mansion a few years ago, and spent this year at Qian's house."
"Qiu Jingyuan?" Qiu Zongxi frowned.
Because there is only such a little girl among the juniors of the Qiu family, even if she is the third bedroom girl, she still knows her name Qiu Zongxi.
In a girl's family who hadn't left the court, and was born in a scholarly family, the key point was that the third house was the most disciplined and talked about etiquette all day long. Qiu Jingyuan actually went out alone, which really surprised Qiu Zongxi.
"Xiaoyu, what are you looking at me for?" Yang Xu was puzzled. With the example of Qiu Jinyu in front of him, Yang Xu is very disgusted with the people in the third room now, and he doesn't even want to mention it.
With a smirk on Zhan Feiyu's face, he winked mischievously at Yang Xu, "The old saying is good, female juniors should hold gold bricks."
The Forbidden Dragon Guard is the best at inquiring about news, so it has only been two hours since we left Linzhou Mansion at noon, and Zhan Feiyu has already got the general situation of Qiu Jingyuan.
After the age of 12, she was just three years older than Yang Xu, and she only brought her servants from Qianzhong Road, so she ran away from home.
It's just that before Qiu Jingyuan went out, Qiu Jinyu hadn't been in danger yet, but anyone with a brain would know why Qiu Jingyuan, a rich lady, came to Longyou Road after traveling so far.
"Hmph, a barbarian spy is not enough, even Xiao Xu's marriage is being targeted." Qiu Zongxi slapped the table angrily, feeling even more disgusted with the omnipotent Sanfang.
Yang Xu also looked aggrieved after eating a fly.
Zhan Feiyu laughed unkindly, "There are rumors outside that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou to save you, so you owe your life to the third house of the Qiu family. It is not too much to ask for you to marry Qiu Jingyuan."
If Qiu Jinyu was really the only son of Sanfang, and he was a dignified little Sanyuan, and he died because of saving Yang Xu, this request is really not out of the ordinary.
In fact, if Qiu Jinyu hadn't died, Qiu Jingyuan, a younger sister, had traveled all the way to find her elder brother, and then lived in Qiu's mansion. With Qiu Jinyu's help, it would be normal for her and Yang Xu to have a long-term relationship.
Yang Xu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and his scalp tingled just thinking about it.
Especially knowing that Qiu Jingyuan was in Linzhou Mansion, Yang Xu couldn't help regretting it. It might as well be that Qiu Jinyu died at the hands of Zhu Xiao, so Sanfang couldn't ask him to force the marriage.
"Don't look at me, I'm not good at this, Xiao Xu, you lack tempering, or you can use Qiu Jingyuan to practice your hands." Qiu Zongxi pushed the matter away completely, as if he was old, old, what kind of love Love, tsk tsk, let the junior handle it by himself.
Zhan Feiyu is definitely a crow's mouth. It's not even time for dinner, and the servants come to report Qiu Jingyuan's arrival, and the carriage stops outside the gate of Qiu's mansion.
Qiu Zongxi handed the greeting card to Yang Xu without even reading it, and whoever caused it will be responsible for the mess.
"Sir, Taoism is governed by politics, and uniformity is punished, and the people are free from shame. Taoism is based on virtue, and uniformity is based on propriety, which is shameful and dignified. How should this sentence be understood?" Zhan Feiyu asked Qiu Zongxi seriously.
On the side, the corner of Yang Xu's mouth twitched while holding the greeting card. Is Xiaoyu bullying him for not studying enough?But even if he has read few books, he still knows that this sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius", and Xiaoyu has already studied the four books!
If it was before, Yang Xu probably would have given up his burden and quit.
But at this moment, even though he was not happy, Yang Xu got up and walked out the door. Since it was aimed at him, he really had to be responsible for solving it, and he couldn't rely on others for everything.
In the carriage, Qiu Jingyuan waited a little impatiently, "Auntie, go out and have a look, what's going on, did the boy report it? Why is it taking so long!"
"Jingyuan." Seeing that even the slightest scar on Qiu Jingyuan's cheek was gone, Qian retracted her eyes and persuaded, "After all, this is Mr. Qiu's place. Mr. Qiu is highly respected. We are juniors, let alone waiting for a while." , Even if it is an hour, you have to wait."
Qian's kindly persuaded the violent Qiu Jingyuan, but her heart was full of contempt, so what if she was the only girl in the younger generation of the Qiu family?After being pampered a little, he is confident and even dares to challenge old Mr. Qiu.
Qian wanted to cut open Qiu Jingyuan's head to see if it was filled with water?
Even if the Patriarch of the Qiu family came, it would be impossible to break in without approval. Old Mr. Qiu's seniority is here, not to mention that he has the grace to save the lives of the Holy Master and Gu Xueshi.
Now that the Yang family has recovered, Mr. Qiu and General Yang are life-and-death friends, so Qian can be sure that if Qiu Jingyuan dares to be a bit presumptuous, she will be kicked out of Longyou Dao.
"Miss, someone has come out." Qing Hong, who was guarding outside the carriage, saw the door opened, and hurriedly replied.
Qian immediately tidied up her appearance and looked at Qiu Jingyuan again, seeing that there was nothing wrong, she let Qinghong lift the curtain to help Qiu Jingyuan get out of the carriage, and she followed.
As soon as Yang Xu came out, Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi followed. I will write homework later, so let's watch the excitement first.
"Who are you?" Frowning, Qiu Jingyuan looked at Yang Xu who was standing at the gate with distaste, a black boy, dressed so shabby, could it be a servant of Qiu's mansion?
Uncle Tang is becoming less and less particular about it. The huge mansion takes in all kinds of cats and dogs, and he is not afraid of hurting the good reputation of the Qiu family.
"Jingyuan, this may be Young Master Yang." Qian Shi was no longer angry. There were too many places where she got angry along the way, but she became peaceful when she got angry.
When she heard that this was Yang Xu, Qiu Jingyuan felt even more disgusted. She was the daughter of the Qiu family, and she liked those gentlemen and talented scholars.
Yang Xu is just a black boy, a black boy with a stern face as if someone owed him money, this shabby look, even if he gave her a horse, Qiu Jingyuan would despise him.
Not to mention the coldness of Longyou Dao, Qiu Jingyuan has been terribly cold in this short period of time, and thinking that once she gets married in the future, she will marry into this barren place, and live with wind, sand, dust or snow all day long...
Qiu Jingyuan was so disgusted that she wished she could leave immediately, she didn't even like such a young talent in Qianzhong Road, so did she have to demean herself and marry this vulgar black boy?
"Grandpa Qiu doesn't see any guests, please go back, both of you." With a sullen face, Yang Xu chased them away unkindly, and handed the greeting card to the housekeeper beside him, asking the housekeeper to return it to Qiu Jingyuan.
Qiu Zongxi didn't like Qiu's family to disturb them. Even the juniors from the Patriarch's line came over these years, and Qiu Zongxi only met them once, and then drove them away, let alone the people from the third room. Already for the sake of the same ancestor.
"Why are you so rude!" Qiu Jingyuan lost her temper, pointing at Yang Xu and shouting angrily, "Do you know who I am? This is the territory of the Qiu family, how dare you drive me away? "
If the Yang family hadn't recovered, Qiu Jingyuan's scolding would be fine, but the Yang family was wronged, Yang Xu is the proper young son of the general's mansion, the future heir, in terms of status, he is much more noble than Qiu Jingyuan.
Yang Xu has experienced many things, he is no longer Wuxia Amon, and he will lose his face to Qiu Jingyuan who is scolding, "I don't know who you are, but I am Yang Xu from the Yang family, if you dare to scold me one more word , I won't let you get out of Longyou Road!"
Zhan Feiyu, who was peeking behind the gate, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and said in a low voice, "Yang Xu can actually bully others."
"Learned from you." Qiu Zongxi hummed, this is to learn good from good, and bad from bad.
Qiu Jingyuan fell on her back angrily, the black boy she despised dared to threaten her!Qiu Jingyuan wished that the guards would come forward and teach Yang Xu a lesson, making him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
But she talked too much just now, and there was still a slight pain on her cheek, which made Qiu Jingyuan, who had been slapped, suddenly dare not be presumptuous.
After all, Yang Xu's identity is here. If he really gave the order, and Qiu Jiayuan couldn't solve the near fire, then Qiu Jingyuan must be the one who was unlucky in the end.
Looking at Qiu Jingyuan, who had a distorted expression, resentful and unwilling, but did not dare to swear at others, Yang Xu suddenly felt that it was really enjoyable to speak like this. For Yu, it would be: I just like that you hate me, but it looks like you can't kill me.
Qian looked at Qiu Jingyuan speechlessly, who did not accomplish much but failed. Her status was valuable, so it also depended on who she was facing. She dared to play tricks with the young master of the general's mansion, and did not see if the other party would buy it.
Accompanied by a smiling face, Qian took two steps forward, and said with a slight smile, "Please forgive me, young master. Jingyuan was also emotionally unstable and took her anger on young master because of the news of the eldest son's death. Please forgive me, young master."
Qiu Jinyu died, and died in the mouth to save Yang Xu, because of this great kindness, Yang Xu should also treat Qiu Jingyuan well.
When he heard Qiu Jinyu's name, Yang Xu's expression became even uglier. Fortunately, he had a dark complexion, so there was not much difference between the look of disgust and anger and the look of grief.
"Where is my brother's body? I want to take him back to Qianzhong Road." Qiu Jingyuan said bitterly, staring at Yang Xu angrily.
Guessing she was confident, Qiu Jingyuan's attitude was even worse than before, and she sneered, "If my elder brother has a spirit in heaven, I'm afraid he would rather save a beast than save some ungrateful and wolf-hearted people!"
"The corpse is temporarily stored in Yizhuang. If you want to go, I will ask someone to lead you the way." Yang Xu threw out the words forcefully, judging by his attitude, he was not at all grateful.
This made Qian, who had been observing silently, feel a little thump in his heart. Could it be that the news was wrong?
But the news that came out before said that Yang Xu and the eldest son hit it off right away, and they were like brothers. Why now that the eldest son is dead, Yang Xu's attitude has undergone an earth-shaking change. He is too unfeeling and ungrateful, right? Didn't even bother to whitewash the peace.
Qiu Jingyuan's anger surged again, and she forgot Yang Xu's threat just now under her anger, and asked aggressively, "Is this how you treat your savior?"
Yang Xu snorted coldly, and also turned back unceremoniously, "Don't say anything about saving your life, one: I didn't let Qiu Jinyu leave the unarmed people in Xiangwu County to save me!"
"Secondly, at Aozikou that night, although there were enemies in ambush, my father had already made arrangements for those young people to come in vertically and go out horizontally, but because of your elder brother's sudden appearance, our original plan was disrupted. To save him, I sacrificed three of my subordinates! He deserves death!"
Not to mention that Qiu Jingyuan and Qin Shi were stunned for a while, Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi behind the gate were also dumbfounded.
Yang Xu has made rapid progress. He was originally an elm-headed person, but now he is fooling people with one set of statements, so realistic that they all believe it is true.
With Yang Xu being so pretentious, it's really hard for the Qian family to use Qiu Jinyu's death as an issue. The Yang family had already planned it out, but Qiu Jinyu's sudden appearance broke the plan and caused Yang Xu's death, so it's no wonder He is annoyed.
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense at all!" Qiu Jingyuan was not willing to accept this statement, because she didn't like Yang Xu, a black boy, and she didn't want to make a marriage contract with him.
But Qiu Jingyuan didn't think it was her business, her arrogance would never allow Yang Xu to regret the marriage.
Furious, Qiu Jingyuan screamed and scolded, "You obviously don't want to acknowledge my elder brother's life-saving grace, so you are just talking nonsense here. My elder brother was killed to save you. Go to Longyou Road and ask someone. Everyone knows that my elder brother died because of you!"
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, the truth is the truth. If it wasn't for Grandpa Qiu's sake, I wouldn't cover it up for Qiu Jinyu at all. Since you want to see the corpse, go there. As soon as the sky is dark, Yizhuang will be closed!"
Yang Xu dropped his words and didn't find anyone to lead them the way. After returning to the Qiu Mansion, he asked the gatekeeper to slam the door shut.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi standing aside, the indifference on Yang Xu's face faded instantly, and he returned to his usual normal expression.
"Yang Xu, Yang Xu, I didn't expect you to be so good at fooling people." Zhan Feiyu came over and patted Yang Xu on the shoulder, turned around and smiled at Qiu Zongxi: "Is this the way you treat people with admiration for three days?" .”
"It was handled well." Qiu Zongxi also rarely praised Yang Xu, thinking of Qiu Jingyuan's domineering attitude, she was indeed the daughter of Sanfang, equally defiant and domineering.
"Grandpa Qiu, Xiaoyu, I'm going to release someone to release the news, so that Sanfang can't threaten me with life-saving grace." Yang Xu suddenly realized that lying is not that difficult, as long as he keeps a straight face on his face. .
Once this news is released, the third family of the Qiu family will definitely fight back, including the secret enemies of the Yang family, who are still lingering at the moment, and it is estimated that they will not miss any opportunity to smear Yang Xu.
However, considering that Yang Xu is still young, even if the rumor of ingratitude spreads, it will not have a big impact on Yang Xu, and the most important thing in the army is skill, the ability to kill the enemy with real swords and guns. Lipstick.
With the approval of Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Zongxi, Yang Xu rarely smiled, "I'll go to the blacksmith shop to discuss with Old Man Tie."
Even though the Yang family recovered, Old General Yang still lives in Shitou Village for the time being, and the blacksmith shop is still there, but now there is only Old Man Tie left. His three sons have all returned to the army again, and they are all under Yang Shoucheng. under the command of
Probably not wanting to meet Qiu Jingyuan outside the door again, Yang Xu left directly through the side door of Qiu Mansion.
Zhan Feiyu followed Qiu Zongxi to the study. After watching the excitement, he still had to do his homework.
After three or two steps, Qiu Zongxi stopped suddenly, and stared at Zhan Feiyu suspiciously, "No, even Yang Xu, an elm-headed man, can think of this way to get rid of Sanfang in a hurry, you can't think of it, Little girl, what kind of charades are you playing?"
If it was said at the beginning that Qiu Jinyu was eager for quick success, left the people of Xiangwu County alone, and went to Aozikou in order to curry favor with Yang Xu, but in the end it turned out that the success was more than failure, not only did not save people, but became a burden, Yang Xu Bian killed several of his men in order to save him.
In this way, even if Sanfang has other opinions in the future, everyone has preconceived it, and Longyou Dao is the domain of the Yang family. How much the people in the border pass support the Yang family, they will definitely believe Yang Xu's words.
Then Yang Xu didn't need to care about the kindness of saving his life, the third housekeeper didn't dare to repay the favor, let alone book Qiu Jingyuan to Yang Xu.
Zhan Feiyu grinned, his expression extremely innocent, "I don't know, I'm just a child in charge of reading, this is an adult's business, sir, you don't know, I don't even know."
This matter was indeed decided by Yin Wuyan, Gu Qingzhou, General Yang, and Yang Shoucheng. Why did he only say that Qiu Jinyu died in Aozikou, at the hands of the enemy? Zhan Feiyu really didn't think about it. After all, Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou It's all there, she really doesn't need to use her brain.
"I don't know, it's because the old man is too lazy to take care of these chores!" Qiu Zongxi glared angrily, he didn't know, it was also because he was used to idleness, and he didn't bother to ask about these plots.
But thinking about the presence of Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng at that time, Qiu Zongxi stopped asking the bottom line. God knows if they had any plans, maybe they kept a hand on purpose.
