Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 39 The Dust Settles
Earl Ying rode the hard-earned BMW that Li Gongji honored him, and returned home within three minutes of burning incense.

Opening the door and walking in quickly, I saw Pan Jinlian sitting alone at the dinner table, feeling unhappy, while Zhao Xiangzhu, who was tall and round-waisted, stood aside to serve with her head lowered.

"How are things going at Wuhan University?"

Earl Ying sat down next to Pan Jinlian and asked seriously.

Pan Jinlian was in a trance for a while. When she saw Earl Ying coming back, she immediately poured tea and water and handed a pair of chopsticks to his hand.

Just now, this woman's thoughts were like a pile of weeds, and all she was thinking and thinking about were the scenes that happened in the Wu family during the day.

The woman closed the door tightly and sat down again.

Holding the steaming rice bowl, he said softly: "When I returned home, I saw that the body with three inches of bark was completely cold from top to bottom."

"So I quickly boiled a pot of hot water, washed a piece of fine cloth, and ran to the Wuhan University room."

"Tucked up the quilt that covered him the day before, and then wiped all the blood on the seven orifices of Wu Da."

"The servant combed his hair, put on a scarf and put on clothes, and took a white silk from the bedside cabinet to cover his face."

"After all these things were completed, the slave family opened all the doors of the house wide open, and pretended to hug each other and cry a lot."

Earl Ying thought that Wu Da's death was so miserable that he had no intention of eating even though his stomach was empty.

He put his rice bowl on the table and listened to the woman's story attentively.

At that time, Pan Jinlian took out the incense candles, paper money, etc. that Earl Ying had bought the day before.

After setting up the mourning hall, we began to plan the erection and burial.

All the neighbors came to visit, but the woman just covered her face with her sleeves and pretended to cry.

Neighbors asked her: "What disease did Dalang die of?"

The woman just followed the earl's instructions and said, "My husband's heart is not good. In the past half month, he has been complaining that it hurts."

"I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but unexpectedly, it got worse! At midnight yesterday, my husband passed away. It was a painful death! It was so painful!"

Even so, the neighbors knew very well that Wu Dalang died in an unknown and unclear way!

So no one kept asking her.

Everyone comforted and advised the woman over and over again, but the woman just kept thanking her without raising her head.

The matter of Wu Dalang has come to an end, basically it has come to an end.

When Pan Jinlian invited He Jiushu from Zishi Street to come to the coffin, the matter will be considered as a complete settlement.

After the woman finished explaining this top priority, she asked Earl Ying where he had been and what he had done today.

Earl Ying explained everything about Li Gongji, and this woman was naturally very happy.

After dinner, Pan Jinlian asked Zhao Xiangzhu to come over and clean up. She and Earl Ying rushed into the room anxiously and had fun wantonly.

I think that the spiritual tablet placed in front of Wu Dalang's memorial table was written by this woman in her own hand.

That is: the spirit of the late husband Wu Dalang.

But after the woman did enough of the fake show, she didn't care about the weak bones of the Wu University, and focused all her attention on Earl Ying.

Now that Earl Ying is rising rapidly, he is rich and powerful. It is completely different from the two of them hiding in a side room just for the pleasure of stealing chickens and dogs.

Now that Wu Dalang is dead, he has settled a matter in his heart. This woman and he stayed up all night, squandering money wantonly.From that day on, this woman's life became very monotonous. Apart from eating and sleeping, she spent the whole day enjoying herself with Earl Ying.

Truly deaf to what is happening outside the window.

She was so happy that she left everything in the house in disarray. Zhao Xiangzhu was so tired that she often spent most of her day cleaning it up, and this woman was completely happy.

As for Wu Song, so much time has passed since Li Gongji accepted Ximen Qing's bribe money and sent it from Qinghe County to Xieyang Mountain.

But there has been no news about this stupid guy. In any case, Earl Ying can't help but think that this stupid guy probably died in Xieyang Mountain.

In fact, regardless of whether Wu Song died or not, Count Ying felt at ease.

Anyway, Ximen Qing, who had never been aware of this before and after, came to step back.

The top priority now is to invite some servants and maids. After all, the house that Eunuch Chen bought for Earl Ying is too big.

How can it be done if there are no servants available for dispatch.

But Earl Ying would never have imagined that Pan Jinlian would actually want to call in all her relatives.

Pan Jinlian is the sixth child in her family, with five brothers and sisters in front of her.

In addition to her uncles, brothers, and sisters, all added together, the number was as high as 28 people.

Not to mention how much money it costs every month to keep waiting for food. Basically, the family does not need so many servants at all.

Although Earl Ying can understand Pan Jinlian's difficulties, it's just that when she was young, she was homeless and her life was thinner than paper. Now that she is finally rich, she wants to feel proud and avenge her previous shame.

But if this step is really taken according to her intention, it can be said to be endless troubles.

A good home can easily turn into Pan's homeless shelter.

In the end, the two reached a consensus that they would only hire three men and three women in her mother's family.

In order to maximize Pan Jinlian's face, the wages of these six people were settled every month at a silver tael that was twice the market price.

Eunuch Chen left such a large sum of money to Count Ying before he left. With the way he spends it now, he can spend it until he dies.

Besides, Sun Qingshan, the former chief bookkeeper of Qinghe County, will also receive a large amount of income from the property raid.

The huge capital reserves and capital inflows allow the two of them to have peace of mind from this initial stage.

For several days in a row, Count Ying, besides going to Li Gongji's place to plunder and eat, would go home and take half an hour to revise the novel on a small scale.

Every time he put the completed [-]-word manuscript in Zhao Xiangzhu's hands, Zhao Xiangzhu watched it eagerly.

There is no deep meaning, it is simply because Zhao Xiangzhu has become a loyal reader of Count Ying under the influence of Eunuch Chen.

At first, Zhao Xiangzhu didn't think the book written by Earl Ying was very impressive, but after reading the [-] words one day after another, she finally fell into it.

In addition, surrounded by the strong aura of a loyal reader like Eunuch Chen, Zhao Xiangzhu was completely unable to extricate himself as soon as he took a look inside.

And she gradually changed from being contemptuous and cold as ice in response to the Earl, to admiring the Earl in her heart.

Every time when she read the book and saw the admiration, she decided from the bottom of her heart that she would serve Earl Ying well for the rest of her life.

For Earl Ying, the cultivation of a little fan girl is often so simple, so easy to grasp and pinch.
