Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 19 Gifts
If Xu Zhen really thought about Yao Shangshu, when Yao Shangshu was in trouble, he should move around.Instead of saying some hypocritical polite words to show your ridiculous benevolence.

Xu Zhen knew that Commander Jiang had a temper and that he couldn't deliver things so that his followers could carry them home, so he told the servants around him: "Let people spread rumors in the market, and say that Mr. Xu was kind enough to bring gifts to visit Yao Shangshu. Commander refused, and Commander Jiang even severely humiliated Mr. Xu."

The boy nodded slightly, thinking that the master is really good at making up nonsense.

Jiang Chenqi was worried that Xu Yu would try to fool Yao Shangshu, and reminded Yao Shangshu to be vigilant against hypocrites, "I don't get along with Xu Shaoqing very much, and I don't have a good impression of him when I meet him a few times. I can be sure that he is the emperor's running dog, a hawk who flatters the emperor."

Xu Zhen acted like a good old man to the outside world, what he did was not what a good man should do.He has not apologized to her until now, and has not mentioned at all why there were assassins in the Xu Mansion. This attitude made Jiang Chenqi have a problem with him.

Yao Lixing has been an official for many years and has experienced countless ups and downs. He has his own way of judging people. He praised Jiang Chenqi for his good eyesight. The emperor climbed up. Last year, he proposed marriage for his useless son and asked to marry my fourth mother, but I flatly refused, maybe because of this matter he was dissatisfied with me."

Worried that Jiang Chenqi misjudged the wrong person and suffered a loss, Yao Shangshu carefully evaluated the civil and military officials.Tell Jiang Chenqi who is worth dealing with and who is a hypocrite who needs to stay away.

Unexpectedly, many colleagues are hypocrites in Yao Shangshu's eyes, knowing that Yao Shangshu is kind, Jiang Chenqi carefully wrote down these words.

Lin Yuan walked over quickly and reported that King Shen was asking for an audience outside the door and brought a visit gift.

What did King Shen come to the farm for? Did he want to witness the scene of Yao Shangshu herding cattle with his own eyes?Jiang Chenqi was a little confused, she couldn't figure out what King Shen was thinking.

Yao Shangshu was not in the mood to continue chatting, and left with his hands behind his back, unwilling to meet King Shen.

When Jiang Chenqi came to the gate of the farm, she found a carriage parked under a tree not far away, and recognized that it was Xu Yu's carriage.Xu Yu probably saw King Shen's carriage, so he deliberately stayed to join in the fun.

"My lord, why are you here? If outsiders saw you coming to me, I don't know what to say. My lord is not afraid of trouble, but I am a little bit afraid of trouble."

Being afraid of troubles and looking forward and backward is not brave. A brave and fearless person can make others fearful. This is Shen Mingxi's life experience of living for more than 20 years.

Smiling indifferently, Shen Mingxi glanced at the carriage not far away, and said solemnly: "Brave people have money to spend. Let me show you how to get money from officials."

Lifting his feet and walking towards the carriage, after a while Shen Mingxi came over with the money bag, and said with a smile: "Xu Shaoqing brought broken silver when he went out, and he just gave it to me as a filial piety. How polite you are."

Jiang Chenqi watched the carriage leave, feeling that Mr. Xu must regret staying, the cheeky and useless prince is hard to resist.

Inviting King Shen to rest at the farm, Jiang Chenqi reminded the prince not to offend Xu Yu, "Xu Shaoqing looks kind, but he is actually a sinister and cunning villain. Not long ago, I went to Xu's mansion for a banquet, and I almost got injured. Fortunately, I know martial arts."

The biggest gain from going to the banquet is to rescue Qu Yibie. I don't know if Xu Yu, who lost the hostage, was reprimanded by the emperor.

Jiang Chenqi can imagine how humble Xu Yu's attitude is in front of the emperor, and a hypocrite has the best attitude towards the lord of the world.

Not afraid that Xu Yu would cause trouble for him, Shen Mingxi said in a relaxed tone: "How can I spend my days in the capital without any skills. I have the secret guards given by my father by my side. The secret guards protect my safety, and I am not afraid of other people's schemes."

Jiang Chenqi didn't know about this matter, she heard that Emperor Xian had a dark guard with high martial arts skills, but she didn't see it before and thought it was a rumor, she didn't expect that Emperor Xian handed over the dark guard to King Shen.As expected of the prince who was highly valued by the late emperor, he was still favored even if he was deposed.

The cow took the calf to enjoy the shade under the tree, and when she saw the former owner, she gave a cry, as if she was saying hello to King Shen.

Shen Mingxi looked around, but did not see the old acquaintance Yao Shangshu, "Has Yao Shangshu learned to herd cattle? Herding cattle is easier than farming. Is he embarrassed? I know this old man wants to save face."

Yao Shangshu has a high level of comprehension, and he quickly learned how to herd cattle. Jiang Chenqi asked Shen Wang not to talk nonsense, "Yao Shangshu is quick to learn new knowledge, and he has learned how to plow the land, grow vegetables and raise livestock. He is no longer the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Shen Mingxi felt sorry for not being able to see Yao Shangshu herding cattle, and proposed to see Yao Shangshu.

Jiang Chenqi couldn't make a decision for Yao Shangshu. She didn't think that Yao Shangshu wanted to see King Shen. When Yao Shangshu mentioned King Shen, he always had a gritted expression, "It's better for King Shen not to see Yao Shangshu. He has changed a lot. You might not recognize it in front of you."

Insisting on seeing Yao Shangshu, Yao Shangshu had to express his sympathy when he was in trouble, Shen Mingxi kept nagging when his junior sister disagreed.

Shen Mingxi, who was full of nonsense, was very annoying, and Jiang Chenqi felt a headache and asked Lin Yuan to go to Yao Shangshu and ask the party for his opinion.

Lin Yuan left for a trip and came back soon, and spread the word that Yao Shangshu would like to see King Shen.

Taking King Shen to Yao Shangshu's residence, Jiang Chenqi stopped at the door and let King Shen go in to meet people.

Lin Yuan glanced at the yard, and closed the door intimately, "Commander, when will the emperor calm down? Yao Shangshu's family has been staying in the farm for a while, and the emperor's anger should disappear no matter how big it is."

Who knows what Shen Yan is thinking, she is not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach, Jiang Chenqi said expressionlessly: "I can only wait patiently for the emperor to calm down. If the emperor doesn't lose his temper, I will think of other ways to torment people and keep them here at ease. Xu Xing is a hypocrite, I don’t feel at ease handing over people to Dali Temple, the methods of torturing people in Dali Temple are terrible.”

Yao Shangshu was getting old and couldn't stand torture. Yao Siniang and other female relatives went to the dungeon and their innocence could not be guaranteed. Although they stayed in the farm, they were tired and safe.

Lin Yuan felt that the emperor was too stingy, and his mind was smaller than ordinary people, why didn't he notice this in the past.Thinking of King Shen with a good attitude, Lin Yuan felt that King Shen was easier to get along with than the emperor.

Yue Xuan handed a letter to Commander Jiang, which was a letter from Marquis Ming Ying.

Open the envelope and read the letter at a glance. After reading it, Jiang Chenqi felt dumbfounded, "Mr. Mingying really has nothing to do. He cares about my private affairs with King Shen. Whom I want to make friends with is my freedom."

Taking out the fire folder and lighting the letter, Jiang Chenqi had no intention of replying to the letter, and didn't care what Ming Yinghou thought.She and Ming Yinghou are not on the same side, and keeping a distance is good for everyone.

Yue Xuan took out the wooden box from his sleeve, and introduced that it was a gift prepared by Ming Yinghou himself.

Opening the wooden box, I saw a hairpin. The wooden hairpin was simple and inconspicuous, exuding a faint woody fragrance.

After closing the wooden box and returning it to Yue Xuan, Jiang Chenqi said indifferently: "Return the wooden box to Lord Hou, and tell Hou Ye Mingying that I don't need the wooden hairpin."
