Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 139
"What? What are you waiting for?"

The waiter saw that some people were still stuck in place and did not follow, so he wondered why the noble lady would bring such a few servants who didn't know how to behave.

Although the aura of these people looked very terrifying, especially the oldest old man, as soon as his eyes swept over him, he immediately felt a chilly wind blowing by, but!
A slave is a slave, no matter how scary it is, it is serving others just like myself!

Yunzhi immediately looked at Sheng Shaoqing asking for help, now that people live in Datong shops, how does he want him to live? !

Ji Wenxuan and Lin Jin didn't react too much, and quickly accepted the reality: it seemed that the Queen Mother didn't intend to save them.

Sheng Shaoqing was pinching Ah Ning's ear to teach her, "Make you laugh!"

"That's not the waiter in the shop. He said he was too late and he had to boast. You really praised it. Doesn't it come true?"

"If I don't agree with him, won't I have to waste a lot of talking?"

While avoiding Sheng Shaoqing's beating, Ah Ning turned around and ran out, just happened to see Yun Zhi's pitiful eyes, immediately put away his playful face, tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve and ran back, whispering, " Ma'am, Yun Dayun's accountant seems to have something to say."

Only then did Sheng Shaoqing see the embarrassment of these three people, he slapped his head and remembered something, and told Xiao Er, "Help me open a few more rooms, and then take them to rest too."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, thinking that this lady is really generous, even servants like accountants and handymen can live in a single room, isn't that much better than him? !

However, if you want to live, you can live, and if you open a few more orders, he will be able to pay for tomorrow's drinks!
"Okay! Let's go!"

"Several, please!"

Only then did Yunzhi feel relieved, and finally he didn't have to sleep with a group of people on a small, smelly kang!

"I heard that you are Mrs. Madam's accountant?"

Yunzhi's fantasies were interrupted by the enthusiastic mistress, Yunzhi couldn't help but nodded after hearing his question, "What's wrong?"

"Well, can I ask, how much does Madam pay you a month?"

Yun Zhi tilted his head to look at him, looked him up and down before saying, "Why are you asking about this?"

The little girl put on a flattering smile and said, "Hi! I'll just ask!"

"Madam is so rich as soon as she makes a move, so she must be from a rich family, right?"

Yun Zhi nodded silently, but Ji Wenxuan squeezed in abnormally, stroked his beard and said proudly, "That's it!"

"As far as our wife's temperament is concerned, can it be raised by an ordinary family?!"

Yunzhi looked at Ji Wenxuan with a smug expression and fell into deep suspicion: Did Prime Minister Ji not take the medicine or did he take the wrong medicine?

The little second looked at Ji Wenxuan was also a little dazed, he remembered that just now the housekeeper had a face like that strangers should not approach him!
Could it be that he was dazzled?
"Then ask one more question, what's the matter with Madam coming to our Qingshiban Township?"

Afraid of being misunderstood again, the little girl quickly added, "I don't mean anything else, how can we see such a big man in this small place on weekdays, it's just curiosity, pure curiosity!"

Ji Wenxuan lowered his head and whispered next to the second child's ear, "Our wife is here to find relatives!"

"Looking for relatives?"

"But this is a long story. To put it simply, our wife wants to find a young gentleman from the family to inherit the incense. Do you understand?"

With Ji Wenxuan's mysterious and unpredictable expression coupled with his deep voice and regretful eyes, the little girl immediately believed in this freshly made-up cover by Ji Wenxuan.

Just as Yun Zhi was about to pull Ji Wenxuan's sleeve and ask his wife where she was looking for relatives, he was immediately frightened away by Ji Wenxuan's threatening eyes, so he had no choice but to shrink his neck and pack the quail.

The second child pulled Ji Wenxuan aside and said, "Then this lady."

"What is this and that, it's our wife."

"Cheng Chengcheng, your wife. Why did she find us here?"

As far as he knew, how could the farmers in these eight villages have such wealthy relatives?

Ji Wenxuan immediately said with a vigilant expression, "You talk too much, you little bastard, what are you doing asking about these things?"

"Just lead the way, it won't do you any good to ask too many questions!"

Seeing that Ji Wenxuan suddenly became fierce, the second child had no choice but to calm down and not ask any more questions, took them to the room to settle down, then turned and retreated.

As soon as Yunzhi entered the door, he immediately grabbed Ji Wenxuan and asked, "Why did you talk so much to that Xiao Er just now?"

Ji Wenxuan didn't even raise his eyelids, just sat down, picked up the teapot and filled himself with tea before he said, "What do you think I'm doing for?"

"Do you want a drink?"

Yun Zhi couldn't be as leisurely as Ji Wenxuan, so he replied angrily, "No drinking!"

Anyway, he is now the accountant, and Ji Wenxuan is the housekeeper, and here Ji Wenxuan can't do anything to himself for a while.

Ji Wenxuan shook his head and blew the froth in his teacup, "Young man, you can't be so impetuous."

"Can I not be in a hurry?! Seeing that the plowing ceremony is only in a few days, and after the plowing, the land equalization order will be implemented in Daliang. Now that there is no real record, the land equalization will be postponed, and it will be given again." It's the handle of the little guy who screwed up!"

Ji Wenxuan took a sip of tea, "Keep your voice down, be careful that there are ears on the wall."

Yun Zhi had no choice but to lower his voice and said, "I really didn't expect Mrs. Wang to dare to act recklessly!"

Only then did Ji Wenxuan raise his eyelids and glance at Yun Zhidao, "Is it only the Wang family?"

Yun Zhi was silent for a moment.

"But Prime Minister, you promised me that you would support me!"

Ji Wenxuan shrugged, "I'm not enough to support you? You see, I've come here with you, how do you want me to support you?"

Seeing that Yunzhi was about to explode anxiously, Ji Wenxuan didn't go around and said directly, "Since Wang dares to make false reports, then they are not afraid of someone coming to investigate. Have you never thought about why?"

Yun Zhi shook his head, and tentatively asked uncertainly, "Maybe they think they can cheat the world by doing this?"

"Your mother was born in the Chenliuwang family. Didn't she tell you what kind of person your grandfather was?"

"My mother only said that my grandpa was cautious, but now Uncle Wang is in charge, or maybe they thought I wouldn't investigate these things carefully, so they dared to tamper with it?"

Ji Wenxuan only smiled, and sighed that this young and promising Shangshu was so naive, "The Queen Mother just got your records last night, and the Queen Mother can find out in just one night, so don't you? Really think There is no one in the court, so you can't even figure out the account?"

"It seems. It seems to be too"

Naive people have the benefits of being naive, Ji Wenxuan could only comfort himself in this way, and continued, "But what if they deliberately falsely reported it?"

"Intentional?! This is the crime of beheading!"

Yun Zhi came to his senses after finishing speaking, and said in shock, "They dare to test me!"

Only then did Ji Wenxuan nodded in relief, "You can teach a child."

Yun Zhi sat down in pain, held his head in silence for a long time before opening his mouth in a muffled voice, "Why are they doing this!"

"Why bother? That's because you didn't let them see the determination of the imperial court to equalize the land."

"The imperial court's determination?"

"Now, the Wang family is forcing you to choose between their so-called righteousness and your so-called righteousness."

"Master Yun, think about it carefully."

Yunzhi raised his eyes again, his eyes were already bloodshot, "I came to Chenliu in the first place, besides being close to the capital, it was not because Chenliu... had such a relationship with me, I thought...they could at least not hold back !"

Ji Wenxuan patted Yun Zhi on the shoulder comfortingly, "Master Yun has always been successful in his official career, so naturally he doesn't know the saying that it is better to ask others than to ask yourself. However, now that things are like this, what are you going to do?"

"Then...the only thing to do is to make an example to the monkeys."

Yun Zhi spoke with hatred, but Ji Wenxuan sighed silently, "That's good, but you're making it clear that you're going to be an enemy of the Wang family!"

"What can I do?! I intended to do it for their own good, but they refused to appreciate it!"

"Let me ask you, if you share the fields, whose fields are you sharing?"

"Of course it belongs to the imperial court..."

"But they thought it belonged to them, and you divided their fields, so it's no wonder they don't work as hard as you do."

"Can"

Before Yunzhi could answer, Ji Wenxuan continued to ask, "You used to have a thousand acres of fertile land in your hands, and a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine in your arms, but now someone came and said that you can only have a hundred acres of land, and the rest will be confiscated. , and even distributed to those homeless people who have nothing to do all day, what would you think?"

"I"

"Although those people want to pay taxes to you, but things that should be taken for granted are suddenly intervened, what do you think?"

"I am naturally dissatisfied."

"But the person who said this has some kinship with you. If you can't slap him in the face, then you can only do what he wants first. After sending this great Buddha away, what you will do later will be a matter of course." It's up to you."

"What do you think of my analysis?"

Yun Zhi sighed, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your enlightenment."

"Yes!" Yun Zhi suddenly said angrily, "This is obviously the imperial court's field, so naturally the imperial court will do whatever it pleases, and it's their turn to dictate!"

Ji Wenxuan stroked his beard and said, "Lord Yun, you must have heard the saying that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, right?"

"Then let me ask another question. If you were to shave your head and become a monk, would you be willing?"

Yun Zhi asked suspiciously, "Why do you want me to be a monk?"

He did a good job in Shangshu, why did he go to become a monk?
Seeing Ji Wenxuan's expression did not seem to be joking, "You have to give me a reason."

Ji Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Did you give them a reason?"

"Who"

Yun Zhi finally understood, and stuffed his stupid question back from his throat, "I understand."

"That"

Ji Wenxuan knew what Yunzhi was going to ask when he saw Yunzhi's expression, and said repeatedly, "I don't know, I don't know anything, so don't ask me."

After a long time, Ji Wenxuan sighed and said, "Let's adapt accordingly. Since we have already reached the boundary of others, we have to see what's going on before making a conclusion."

Yun Zhi cupped his hands in admiration, "Listen to what you have to say, and you will win."

Ji Wenxuan suddenly raised his hand to stop Yunzhi's flattery, and whispered, "Shut up, there are people outside the door!"

Ji Wenxuan stood up, quietly moved to the door, opened the door, and Xiao Er, who was eavesdropping outside the door, staggered and fell in.

"Boom-"

The water basin in the little second hand fell to the ground together with him, made a crisp sound, turned a few more times, and lay quietly on the floor.

Yun Zhi immediately rushed forward to pick up Xiao Er's collar, and shouted angrily, "How dare you eavesdrop on us!"

"No, I didn't eavesdrop, I just happened to."

Xiao Er said anxiously, "I just brought hot water to your wife, and I just wanted to ask if you need it."

"I swear! I really didn't mean to!"

"I didn't hear anything!!"

Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan looked at each other, "I usually say I haven't heard anything, but I've heard a lot."

"Honestly, what have you heard?!"

Xiao Er didn't expect that Yun Zhi, who seemed to be quite talkative before, would be so scary when he got angry, "No—"

Yun Zhi tightened his hand again, and Xiao Er said in pain, "I said, I said, I just heard what you said."

"anything else?"

"Also, and, let's make a conclusion!"

"I haven't heard anything else! Really! I can swear to God!"

"If I lie to you, I... I will never be able to have children in my life!"

Ji Wenxuan glanced down, "You couldn't have given birth in the first place."

"Hey!", Xiao Er didn't expect the butler to be able to joke around at this time, "No! I mean my wife, my wife can't give birth, and I will die without an offspring!"

Only then did Yun Zhi let go of his hand to let the little girl take a few breaths, "You'd better tell the truth."

Xiao Er hid behind Ji Wenxuan as soon as he got out of the clutches, "Old housekeeper, what I said is true! I really stopped by to ask if you need hot water, and I just listened to it. You were just about to knock on the door when you discovered it."

Ji Wenxuan smiled softly, "If you really came to ask by the way, how could you say that I discovered it?"

Xiao Er: This is also okay?
Xiao Er pursed her lips and said, "I really didn't mean it, I was just curious about your identities, and it just happened to... just listened to a few words"

"Then what do you think we are?"

"Isn't it just the housekeeper and accountant? The handyman told me just now, what else could it be?"

"I'm curious about your wife."

"How can we have a relationship with such a rich and precious lady in a remote place like Qingshiban Township?"

Only then did Yun Zhi feel relieved, and only waited for Ji Wenxuan to make up his lie, with a hint of gloating in his expression: I'll let you make it up, and I'll see how you make it up!
Ji Wenxuan sneered, "Do we have to tell you because you're curious?"

The waiter saw that the tone of the two people had eased, and they had returned to their original nature. He boldly closed the door, dragged them back to the table and sat down.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, when I saw this old gentleman, I felt kind!"

Yunzhi said directly, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of fart if you have to, don't flatter."

Ji Wenxuan glanced at Yunzhi in surprise. He had heard that Shangshu Yun was getting along with the common people in Chenliu, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
