Chapter 203 Going South Again
Having said that, Lin Zhizhong couldn't hold back this young girl, and married the Xu family before Xie Yan came to Beijing.The marriage ended hastily, and everyone praised Xu Wenchang as "good luck", and Xu Wenchang even grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

Jiang Feng checked Xu Wenchang's investigations, and could only sigh: "In the future, if something happens to the Xu family, don't implicate the Lin family."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Has Xu Wenchang been found?"

Jiang Feng said: "He hides black incense in the Japanese satin and wraps Japanese copper in the black incense. Who will not say a good craftsmanship after seeing it!"

Shen Jiangdong said: "Xu Wenchang has golden wind in his sleeves, who doesn't know? It's just that there are big articles in Wuxiang. If Fangcheng can't be defeated, His Majesty will not touch him."

"Let's see if he has anything to do with Kang Wangfu's treason case," Jiang Feng said. "In the past, the people in Gushan, except for Xu Wenchang, were all relatives of Prime Minister He, and Xu Wenchang was the only one who was relative of Xiang Ye. When Ye Xiang died that year Xu Wenchang is so indifferent to the Ye family, probably because he is dissatisfied that Ye Xiang didn't support him to become the chief minister? He probably didn't expect Ye Xiufeng's daughter to be able to enter the middle palace smoothly?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "At that time, the group of the He family, including Yao Yuantu, wanted to make Concubine He Ning the central palace. The clan relatives looked at the niece of the Prince of Longxi County, and some thought that the daughter of the Dingnan Fan was the same. That's right. Xu Wenchang probably thought that if Ye Xiufeng died anyway, the noble concubine of the Ye family would not be able to become a queen, and the Ye family would be too bad, so he thought of changing the family like that. But after his daughter died, he and the He family were also finished, so he would Won't you have some thoughts of showing favor to your clan?"

Jiang Feng said: "I'm checking, wait and see."

Lin Bofu married to Xu's family, and when he returned home, something was wrong.

Jiang Feng asked Xiaying to find her dowry from Jiaguo Mansion for her. The name is Qiuye, she has a pair of slender eyes and is very shrewd. She quietly complained to Mrs. Lin: "There are too many little wives in the Xu family. , all of them look like the Queen Mother!"

Mrs. Lin had nothing to do after hearing this.

Originally thinking that Xu Wen was a lovely wife, she had to be patient no matter what, but Qiu Ye saw Lin Bofu's haggard face and wounds after a while, and told Mrs. Lin again.

This time there was a lot of commotion, the Lin family called the door, and all the students from the Gushan Club who were officials in Beijing came out to say what was wrong with Xu Wenchang.These Qingliu want face most. Xu Wenchang did such a disgraceful thing, which hurt everyone's face.

One day, Cheng Yingzhou came to see and talk about the deployment of defense, and finally told Siqing Xiao Yi that he saw Gu Heng and Lin Zhizhong when he was a guest at Xu's house.Because Cheng Yingzhou didn't recognize Lin Zhizhong, he just said, "Mr. Gu grabbed Xu Shangshu by the collar, as if he was very angry and wanted to hit someone."

Siqing raised her forehead, "Didn't I tell him to keep him away from Xu Wen?"

Siqing was very worried, and asked Ling Zhen to go to Gu's house once again by moving from Xiyuan to Qingxiyuan to remind Gu Heng to settle the messy accounts with Xu Wenchang as soon as possible, and stay away from Xu Wenchang .

This time when I went to Gu's house, I happened to meet Gu Heng's elder brother Xie Yan coming to Beijing. Ling Zhen greeted him vaguely. After asking, she found out that Xie Yan would be transferred to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Si Zhilang this time. Gu Heng had a smirk on his face, and Ling Zhen also I didn't say anything more.

Lingzhen knew that Gu Heng wouldn't listen to her own words, so she changed her strategy, pulled Yan Mowei to explain it carefully, Yan Mowei said: "Don't worry, wait until I talk about him." Lingzhen left.

After Xie Yan came to Beijing this time, Lin Zhizhong and his wife felt very guilty, but Xie Yan didn't feel much.Because I heard that Lin Zhizhong hadn't found a house yet, and the Gu family's place was small, I asked Xie Yan to live in the Lin's house.

Naturally, Xie Yan didn't want to disturb the Lin family, but the Xie family had already run out of money in this generation. Xie Yan had no savings after working for several years, and he only had a boy brought out from the Xie family by his side.

Because Gu Heng and his wife wanted to go back to Tonghe, they wanted to give Xie Yan the key to Gu's house, but Xie Yan refused to accept it.Yan Mowei said: "You have found a suitable house to mortgage, if he refuses to accept it, you can make an IOU, and we will not want the money later."

Gu Heng then found a suitable house not far from Lin's house. The owner was a loss-making fan merchant and was anxious for money, so he didn't ask for a high price.

Gu Heng cleaned up the house, but Xie Yan was still unwilling, so he said: "Xie Jiaben is sorry for you, how can I still want your things?"

Gu Heng talked about the IOU, Xie Yan still didn't let go, Gu Heng said: "You are an official, I am afraid that you will run away and repay the debt? Fourth uncle is kind to me, I remember it, you can stay at ease. Otherwise, the Lin family He asked you to live in his house again, and you still have to shirk it." Finally persuaded Xie Yan to issue an IOU, and Xie Yan moved in.

On the day we moved in, the Lin family also came to deliver things. The boy Xie Yan brought was only ten years old, and he whispered to Gu Heng: "Our master originally had some savings. Last year, the master of Xiangyang came to ask for the coffin book, and they collected it all. go."

Since the death of Gu Heng's grandfather, the Xie family has long since been torn apart. Gu Heng was abandoned by the Xie family because of the uneven division of the family, so he followed Fu Linchuan. After hearing this, Gu Heng had nothing to say, and Lin Zhizhong could only sigh.Of course Xie Yan couldn't bear the heart to make a big fuss with Xie's family, Gu Heng thought of Siqing at this moment, it might be a good thing that Siqing could be so determined to completely cut off the marriage with the Ye family.

---

After Lin Bofu married Xu Wenchang, Gu Heng and his wife together with Fu and Wu moved back to Tonghe for the autumn.Lin Zhizhong and his wife were worried about their sister, so they planned to return to Yuhang at the end of the year.

This day Jiang Feng came to Gu's house to see off Yi Cheng, and saw that the Gu's family's important things were all nailed in boxes and they were almost ready to move.Xie Yan refused to ask for the key to Gu's house, but Yan Mowei still handed over the key to Jiang Feng for safekeeping.

In the evening, everyone went to Wu Zhenying's house for dinner, and Shen Jiangdong also came. Talking about Lin Bofu's marriage, Wu Zhenying said: "Why are you still married? So hasty? Although the surname Xu is now a high-ranking official, he is not a good match after all."

Jiang Feng said: "The girl from the Lin family is insane. If she doesn't marry the Xu family, she will go to court for death. What if she doesn't marry and cause death?"

Wu Zhenying said: "Xu Wenchang looks like he's half buried in the ground. Lin Zhizhong doesn't know what he's thinking, he's too indulgent for his sister. In my opinion, it's not as good as Du Sizhong. Although Du Sizhong is older, he was really born. it is good."

Jiang Feng said: "Since Du Sizhong lost his wife, he said that he would not continue the string."

When Wu Zhenying said this, Shen Jiangdong clearly remembered the marriage of his sister Shen Huanhua, so his face was a little gloomy.Jiang Feng asked, "Uncle, why did you pack all these things?"

Wu Zhenying said that he planned to go to Guanzhong with Fu Linchuan to have a look, "Originally, the serious Liang Fen would take it if he wanted to, and the unscrupulous ones would have been ignored. Lao Lu has been with me for most of his life. The house will be given to him. In addition to the house in Beijing and my house in Tonghe, I also have some land assets. I have no children in my life. I will not bring these things with me when I die. I will not take these things with me when I die. Tian Chan Siqing took the trouble. , you and Liang are divided, and Tonghe’s house deed is given to Siqing. The money is divided into three parts, and Siqing is also given one. Back then, I saved two dowries. I will give you the marriage of Xuanbin’s Xining in 17. For you, I also saved a copy for Siqing, but I never gave it to her. This time Xuan Bin gave it to her, although it is not a valuable thing, but it is useless for me to keep it."

Both Jiang Feng and Gu Heng said that they could not take Wu Zhenying's things. Wu Zhenying smiled and said, "You still don't like it anymore? I said, I have no children, who can I give it to? If I loose these things, I don't need to buy them anymore." Missing."

Jiang Feng went to see Siqing the next day, and Siqing couldn't laugh or cry when she received Wu Zhenying's things, "How can I want things from Uncle Wu's family?"

Jiang Feng said: "Uncle wanted to give it, and asked Yuan Xi if it was something he didn't like, but we couldn't say anything."

Siqing asked when they would leave Beijing again, and Jiang Feng said: "Uncle said that Mr. Fu wanted to go to Zhongnan Mountain where he used to practice, and uncle also went with him. He originally said that he would leave in two days, but I will go there this morning. Ask Uncle Lu that he has already left Beijing! He didn’t even tell Liang Fen. Liang Fen will go back to Tonghe tomorrow.”

Wu Zhenying and Fu Linchuan left the capital, and once Gu Heng and his wife returned to the river, Jiang Feng stopped going to the Wu family and was only busy with his own affairs.

After Bai Luchu passed away, she felt like she had lost her arm, and she didn't come back until dark every day.It is rare for Shen Jiangdong to be free, he reads and plays flute when he has nothing to do.The moonlight was like water this day, Jiang Feng came back and Shen Jiangdong was saying, "Where is the night without moon, and where is there no pines and cypresses? But few idlers are like the ears of the two of us."

Jiang Feng said: "You are the only idler here, I am not."

Shen Jiangdong asked her if she had eaten, and Jiang Feng said: "I just ate something casually. By the way, if you are really so free, then you might as well go to the fourth old lady's house and pick up the beauty!"

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "It's been so long, I thought you forgot. Where the person went has nothing to do with us, and we didn't redeem him. I should thank Mrs. Cheng Ping very much."

Jiang Feng said: "Mrs. Cheng Ping also said a good marriage for Lan Cheng, but Lan Cheng still hasn't agreed."

Shen Jiangdong was speechless.

Jiang Feng listened to Shen Jiangdong's words, and took a lot of presents to see Mrs. Cheng Ping the next day, and stopped by the Lin's house to sit in, and heard all the bad things about the Xu family.It turned out that Qiu Ye, Lin Bofu's dowry, happened to be at Lin's house that day. Seeing Jiang Feng as if seeing an old relative, she called out to Madam with tears in her eyes, and started crying herself.

Jiang Feng asked her how she was doing in Xu's house, and Qiu Ye said: "The maidservant also thought that the girl is young, and the master has to give Miss Lin some face. Who knows that there is a team of young wives in the Xu family house. Amitabha, madam, uncle, don't blame me for talking nonsense, I heard before that the Xu family would make money. I wondered, where did the Xu family get so much money? Who knew that I went to the Xu family with the girl, and I only knew that there is no such thing as a sea of ​​money flowing out of so many concubines? To say something that should not be said, the Xu family said it well, it is a good man who does not worry about his wife, but the Xu family used to run a courtyard!"

After hearing this, Jiang Feng said, "That's not what I said at the beginning. It's a pity that Miss Lin is all about getting married."

Mrs. Lin didn't have a daughter, so she only raised this little cousin as a daughter, so she was not in a hurry, "Our girl has no prejudices, and we don't have autumn leaves, so we don't know what to do."

Jiang Feng asked Qiu Ye, "Ms. Lin married in, did she ever visit relatives and friends' homes?"

Qiu Ye said: "I went, no one praised the girl for being a good person, and I didn't hear some harsh words. The girl was angry because of the bastard at the beginning of the family."

Jiang Feng thought that such an in-law would be boring, so he persuaded Mrs. Lin: "I said this sentence, it doesn't sound good. It's better to forget about it."

Mrs. Lin's face turned blue with worry, "Naturally, I think so. If the girl never gets married, so what if I and her elder brother raise her for the rest of my life? But the girl is looking for life, I really have no choice."

The seventh day of this month happened to be the birthday of the imperial concubine Zhou, Siqing sent someone to help her, but she stayed in Nannei and did not go back to the banquet.As a concubine, Jiang Feng had already packed up her things to go into the palace, and sent someone to pick Lin Bofu up with her.After the palace banquet, Lin Bofu returned to Xu's house, Jiang Feng returned to Jiaguo Mansion, and when they had dinner with Shen Jiangdong, they could only sigh.

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "You are gnashing your teeth, wishing you could take it apart for them."

Jiang Feng said: "Miss Lin's temperament is hateful, and she is too soft. But I think this marriage will not end, and the Lin family is already thinking of reconciling."

"Xu Wenchang is not satisfied," Shen Jiangdong said, "People who are not satisfied will always fall on this."

Jiang Feng said: "Lin Zhizhong is too indecisive."

"Don't talk about him," Shen Jiangdong asked, "Xuan Bin, what have you been up to lately?"

Jiang Feng said: "According to the informant, Dingnan Fan, especially Han Shouchen, did not have much money exchange with Xiao Xu of Prince Kang's Mansion. The soldiers Xiao Xu raised cost a lot, and he raised them all by himself. Your Majesty wants to know where his money comes from." Come."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Have you found it?"

Jiang Feng said three words, "Xu Wenchang."

Shen Jiangdong was not surprised, "I don't know if he was tricked by someone. I believe he is greedy, and I don't believe that he conspired against King Kang's mansion Xiao Xu. Besides, He Ye and Zong Wang have always been in the same situation. Even if he and Ye Later, Xiufeng became discordant, so he was born in Qingliu. What does the queen say?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile: "The queen has stopped asking about the military guards of the government. I was afraid of being scolded last time."

"Do you think His Majesty will investigate Xu Wenchang to the end?"

"Yes. I may have to leave Beijing for a while."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "Out of Beijing?"

"I went out to hide," Jiang Feng said, "The matter of Xiao Xu's rebellion in Prince Kang's Mansion did not happen last year. This time the war went smoothly, and the situation in Jiangzuo was stable. Your Majesty may want to settle accounts after autumn. I have checked so many old affairs of Prince Kang's Mansion, Best to avoid it."

"where to?"

"Probably Jiangnan Division. Xu Huaimin went to Jiangnan Division, and His Majesty is not very satisfied with him."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Is Jiangnan Division right and wrong? Let me tell you, Your Majesty has moved Yao Yuantu away from Jiangzuo. If Yao Yuantu can't cover the accounts of Yuhang Weaving Bureau and Mingzhou Shipping Division, I'm afraid There is also a story. The palace will not recognize the bad account of the Weaving Bureau. If Yao Yuantu swallows it by himself, he doesn’t know what will happen. If he throws it at the top, it will be interesting. Since Xining took over the big and small affairs of the ban in 14 years, which may also include internal funds and the expenses of the Fourth Department and the Sixth Bureau, do you think the queen will admit it, or Zhou Guifei will admit it?"

Jiang Feng said: "I don't know how big the hole is. If it's too big, Yao Yuantu can wait until the end."

"You go to Jiangnan Division, you won't get involved in this matter, will you?"

"I'll try my best. Besides, the old accounts of the Bureau of Shipbuilding and the Weaving Bureau have nothing to do with the affairs of the Jingwei. It's about internal money, and even the queen may not be able to manage it."
