Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 162

Yan Xiu and Yan Zhaohua personally sent Pei Xuan out, thanked him again for the lychees, Pei Xuan got on his horse in a regular manner, and walked out of the alley under the sight of Yan Xiu and Yan Zhaohua.

Yan Xiucai turned around, stepped on the steps back home, and said to Yan Zhaohua, "Pei Shizi, he will be a good husband and son-in-law."

Yan Zhaohua bowed his head and said nothing, Yan Xiu looked at her, and thought of that troublesome girl again, lost interest for a while, so he asked Yan Zhaohua to go back to Qingqueju, while he went to the study to take a nap.

Yan Zhaohua wanted to comfort him, but he also knew that it would be useless to say any more at this time, so he sent someone to check on the situation of Pianranju. Mrs. Gong had already been kicked out of the mansion, and she was chased through the back door. I heard that she had been shouting and scolding for a long time. Before leaving, Yan Zhaoning came out and reprimanded the guards, but it was useless. Yan Zhaoning returned to the back, and did not react too much. Originally, she was using Gong Shi, so how could she really do anything for Gong Shi? ?

Back at Qingqueju, Yan Zhaohua also wanted to rest for a while. After the incense and green bamboo retreated, she went to the inner room and changed her clothes at home. When she came out again, she saw the majestic Lying on the bed was a man with his legs crossed, tilting his head and flipping through her bedside book.

Yan Zhaohua rolled his eyes helplessly, and said that when he left just now, why was he so straightforward, and he didn't have the same reluctance as before.

Pei Xuan's handsome face stuck out from the back of the notebook, and he grinned at Yan Zhaohua. This rascal's behavior did not damage his beautiful face at all. Yan Zhaohua walked over and said, "My father wants to know what you gave him The reason for sending the guards to the mansion is for this, and they will definitely bite you to death!"

Shrugging his shoulders indifferently: "He knows a lot of things that will kill me, not bad for this one!"

One turned over and sat up on the bed, beckoning to Yan Zhaohua, Yan Zhaohua stepped forward, Pei Xuan patted the edge of the bed to let Yan Zhaohua sit down, Yan Zhaohua sat down with a smile, Pei Xuan took her from behind Hugging, Simo ear-to-ear: "You miss me to death. Do you miss me?"

Yan Zhaohua leaned into his arms, full of sweetness, deliberately stiff-mouthed: "Of course not, what do I want you to do?"

Pei Xuan held her chin and turned around: "I really didn't think so? I'll check."

Yan Zhaohua didn't know how he wanted to check, and when he didn't pay attention, his warm lips fell down. He wanted to escape in shock, but he was wrapped around his slender waist and couldn't move. Yan Zhaohua felt like he was going to die. After taking a breath, Pei Xuan let go a little bit, and the tip of their noses faced each other. Pei Xuan kissed the lips that had been eaten by him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Have you thought about it now?"

Yan Zhaohua raised his arm softly, trying to push him away, but his arm was weak, and the movement of pushing him was a bit like a refusal to welcome, like an invitation. After letting her go, he fell back and lay down on Yan Zhaohua's soft pillow, stretched comfortably, and lingered in the fragrance that made him so intoxicated.

Yan Zhaohua leaned against the bed frame, panting secretly, Pei Xuan stretched out his hand, pulled Yan Zhaohua into his arms, let her back against him, and said in her ear:

"There are a lot of problems with that Gong family. And her brother, I didn't investigate before, is there a problem with her brother's origin? Later, I verified that there is indeed a problem. He is not Gong's brother at all. Guess who it is ?”

Yan Zhaohua turned around and lay on Pei Xuan's arm, his two big eyes were flickering, and the long eyelashes seemed to tickle Pei Xuan's heart.

"It's not brother, what is it?"

Pei Xuan stretched out his hand to compare her eyelashes, which were almost longer than his nails, and replied casually, "Son!"

"..."

Pei Xuan's answer was too horrifying, and Yan Zhaohua was stunned for a long time before he could react. Seeing her cute expression, Pei Xuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her upturned nose, causing Yan Zhaohua to pat him and rub her. Rubbing his reddened nose, Yan Zhaohua said in a crying voice:

"How could it be a son? You, are you right?"

Pei Xuan was patted on the back of his hand by her, but he was still happy, and said with a smile: "Who am I, how could I be wrong? If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have almost told my father-in-law."

Yan Zhaohua was so shocked by the news that he couldn't speak. He chose to ignore the phrase 'father-in-law' in Pei Xuan's words, but sat up and asked, "Then, Aunt Gong... Gong Ruquan could not be my grandfather. Your child? This, this is too..."

"How could it be the Duke's child? If it was the Duke's child, how could Aunt Gong bear it for so many years?"

Yan Zhaohua felt that Pei Xuan was right. If Gong Ruquan was the Duke's child, then according to how much his grandfather loved Aunt Gong, he would recognize Gong Ruquan as his ancestor. Raising Gong Ruquan as a younger brother by her side, she was more cautious in the first few years, until later, after everyone got used to it, Aunt Gong gradually praised Gong Ruquan.

"Whose child is that?" Yan Zhaohua was in a strange mood, always feeling that the truth of something was about to come out, but the key to the matter was beyond her imagination.

Pei Xuan also touched his chin: "This kid has a strange origin and a long history. It's really not easy to find out who it is, but it was found out that there was a candidate from other places who lived next to Aunt Gong's mother's house, and then the candidate disappeared. Yes, I only know that the surname seems to be Wang, from Anji."

Yan Zhaohua was also confused: "Is that child the candidate named Wang?"

Back then, Aunt Gong was still the Duke's concubine. When the Duke was young, he had a good relationship with the Liu family, so he didn't favor Aunt Gong very much. I heard that she was cold for a while. If Aunt Gong was in those days, She hooked up with the examinee surnamed Wang, and then got Gong Ruquan, but Gong is an outsider. If Xie Guozhang still went to her often at that time, she could have planted the child on Xie Guozhang's head, but if Xie Guozhang didn't go, her stomach would be full Can't wait anymore, after being born, she can only be sent to the countryside to be raised by old parents. After Xie Guozhang turned around, she was taken into the Duke's mansion as an aunt. After the old parents passed away, she took the child in the name of younger brother Keep it on hand.Therefore, Mrs. Gong's attitude towards Gong Ruquan is very different. It is not like the feeling of a big sister treating her younger brother, but more like a mother who desperately wants to protect her son. In this way, Mrs. Gong's attitude towards Gong Ruquan will be solved explained.

Pei Xuanyang nodded: "It should be. Except for the examinee, I really haven't found out what relationship Gong has with anyone else."

"The candidate may have returned home after failing the exam." Yan Zhaohua speculated.

"I thought so too, so I asked people to investigate in Anji, but it was found out that the family surnamed Wang belonged to Anji, but the family was ruined long ago. His uncle and aunt provided him with education. Later, when he entered Beijing, he only once Didn't go back, obviously not back to Angie."

Pei Xuan immediately denied Yan Zhaohua's guess, and Yan Zhaohua became more and more puzzled:

"If he didn't return home, where did he go?"

"I'm asking someone to start an investigation from the documents of the candidates who came to Beijing with him back then. Don't worry about it. Since I agreed to you, there is absolutely no reason to let it go. Now I have the approval of my father-in-law. , I wouldn’t have any problem even if I blatantly intervened.”

Although Pei Xuan acted casually in front of Yan Zhaohua, Yan Zhaohua couldn't deny that he was very reliable in his work. At least he could investigate for her for decades old things. As for her, Yan Zhaohua doesn't think it's as serious as before. Everyone can have many faces. In front of outsiders, it is natural to establish a positive image. But if this image must be maintained at home and abroad, wearing a mask like that is too much. Life is too hard.

"Who is your father-in-law? I just refrained from saying it. You still have to make an inch of it, don't you?"

Yan Zhaohua pretended to be serious and pinched Pei Xuan's ear, but he didn't hide, like a child, he let her hold on to her ear, smiling shyly, that rascal look made Yan Zhao Hua couldn't help laughing, and slapped him on the chest, Pei Xuan arched his body in a serious manner, and sent himself into Yan Zhaohua's quilt, which made Yan Zhaohua laugh.

The two of them got bored in the room for a while, and Pei Xuancai left the Changning Hou Mansion from the 'old place'. Now the guards in the mansion are all people arranged by him. Naturally, he is strictly guarding against other thieves, but for him Well... everyone just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, who made him the boss.

After more than ten days, the things that the palace rewarded Yan Zhaoning were sent to the Marquis of Changning first, and they were delivered by Wang Fuquan, the chief executive. Although Yan Xiu was disappointed with Yan Zhaoning, Wang Fuquan was at the emperor's side to serve him personally. Yes, acting on behalf of the emperor is someone who cannot be offended, no matter how reluctant Yan Xiu is in his heart, he has to greet him with a face full of face.

When Wang Fuquan saw Yan Xiu, he smiled fearfully, and stepped forward to salute: "Oh, please trouble Lord Hou to come to greet you in person, our family dare not do that."

Yan Xiu was also polite, and clasped his fists and said, "Where is it, I should be the one who said this, please trouble Wang Gonggong to deliver it in person, and just run around."

"That can't be done. Now that Changning Marquis Mansion is the most favored family, no matter how busy our family is with your mansion's affairs, we have to go there in person! Other people's favors can't be denied, but Marquis can't do it here."

The two exchanged pleasantries, Yan Xiu invited Wang Fuquan into the flower hall, and a young eunuch sang the list, Yan Zhaohua and Yan Bo counted and checked it in the yard, and then recorded it in the warehouse, Yan Xiu invited Wang Fuquan in tea.

Wang Fuquan's eyes fell on Yan Zhaohua who was walking around in the yard, and he said to Yan Xiu:
"Miss Your Manor is really capable, no wonder she can make Prince Gong's son fall in love with her, and she has a family of two sisters, both of whom have received the Holy Family. Lord Hou is really blessed!"

Yan Xiu invited Wang Fuquan to drink tea, and didn't want to follow the old fox's topic, so he changed his way:
"How about a taste of this tea, my lord?"

Wang Fuquan looked down at the teacup in his hand, and saw that the tea soup was light white, but the fragrance was overflowing. He took a sip and tasted it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Authentic white tea! It's still the first tea! Good!"

After the evaluation, Wang Fuquan immediately took another sip. Seeing that he liked it, Yan Xiu said:

"A student of mine is from Zhejiang. In May of this year, he came to see me and gave me this tea. He said that it was the first tea picked just this year. After more than ten processes, it was fried. Wait, I tasted it, and it was really good, thinking that my father-in-law is from Anji, so I must like it, so I kept it for my father-in-law.”

Yan Xiu's words were extremely polite, and Wang Fuquan felt very relieved when he heard them. He couldn't put down his teacup, and thanked Yan Xiu:
"Thank you, Lord Hou, for thinking about our family. This, this, let our family not know what to say. I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never been back to my hometown. If Master Hou is not thinking about me, I don't know. How long will it take to taste the good tea from my hometown?"

Yan Xiu waved his hand: "The father-in-law is very powerful, and there are many filial people under him, so why do I care about this, I just had a little more heart and reluctantly let the father-in-law enter."

This Wang Fuquan used to be a eunuch holding a pen, because he was favored by the emperor, he was transferred to the palace and became the chief of the palace. Ten words spoken by ordinary people in front of the emperor are not worth a single sentence from him. There are so many people who please him, Yan Xiu doesn't really think that Wang Fuquan can be thankful just by his own cup of tea.
