Chapter 63 Making Things Bigger (Seeking Monthly Pass)

He unceremoniously took Zhu Fangdan's package, and took Shang Wanyan's little hand, Fatty Lu walked out of the restaurant in a chic and unrestrained way.At first, in front of many guests in the restaurant, Shang Wanyi didn't dare to speak, but blushed and let Fatty Lu pull her, until she walked a certain distance out of the restaurant and turned to a relatively secluded place, Shang Wanyi struggled to shake her hands. Opening Fatty Lu's claws, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the right hand that was pulled by Fatty Lu, while looking at Fatty Lu coldly, with somewhat angry eyes.

"Wanyan, do me a favor." As if not aware of it, Fatty Lu handed the fat hand that had been held by Shang Wanyan's small hand to Shang Wanyan, and said shamelessly: "Wipe me too, your hands are a bit dirty."

"Fatty man, whose hands are dirty?" Shang Wanyi couldn't bear it any longer, and beat Fatty Lu's fat hand off with a wave.

"Since your hands are not dirty, what do you wipe?" Fatty Lu asked with a puzzled face.

"It's because your hands are dirty and smelly!" Shang Wanyi felt that the blood vessels on her forehead wanted to explode. If it wasn't for being on the street, Shang Wanyi would have the urge to strangle Fatty Lu to death .

"Really?" Fatty Lu put his fat hand under his nose and smelled it suspiciously, and said, "My hands don't smell bad, but it smells like sweat from your hands, sour and sour!"

Shang Wanyi finally heard the sound of blood vessels exploding on her forehead, and the brutal blood of the Shang family flowing in the veins also began to boil. At that moment, Shang Wanyi smiled at Fatty Lu, making Lu Fatty feel cold, and then Shang Wanyi was the first again. This time, he took the initiative to take Fatty Lu's fat hand, and pulled Fatty Lu into a small alley by the side of the road.Soon, the horrific sound of killing a pig echoed in the alley, "Wanyi, please forgive me, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore! Never dare again——!"

After finally fighting enough and venting enough, Shang Wanyan patted her fair little hands, and ordered to Fatty Lu, who was moaning in pain with countless bruises on his fat body: "See if you dare to do it in the future, you fat man!" Nonsense! Well, now it’s time to send me home, I don’t want to go to Geng Xinghe’s house, send me to my third brother Shang Zhili’s house.”

"Princess, what a coincidence, I don't know where your third brother lives." Fatty Lu replied with a sad face, "The capital is too big, and I haven't been in the capital for a few days, and I haven't had a chance to go to your elder brother's house yet." visit."

"Then what should I do?" Shang Wan was stunned, and said: "I just punched Kong Sizhen at Geng Xinghe's house, so I can't go back there again? How embarrassing that is."

"This..." Fatty Lu was also a little embarrassed, and suddenly he had an idea and said, "Why don't you, Wan Yan, go to my place..."

"You haven't beaten enough, have you?" Shang Wanyan blushed again, and said angrily, "I'm a big girl, go to where you live, can I go out to meet people in the future?"

"You misunderstood." Fatty Lu quickly explained: "Wait for me to finish, in fact, after I entered Beijing, I have been living in the residence of Prince Pingxi's son. Counting your elder brother, if you go to his house, no one can say anything? And after arriving at his place, someone in his family must know where your third brother lives, and they can send someone to send you back. "

"Okay then, let's go to Prince Pingxi's mansion." Shang Wanyi thought about it carefully, and immediately nodded in agreement.At the end, Shang Wanyan said again: "If Prince Pingxi doesn't mind, I really want to stay with him for a few more days, so that I don't have to go back and see the ugly faces of my second and third brothers flirting with Kong Sizhen."

"Huh? I seem to have thought of something?" Hearing what Shang Wanyan said, Fatty Lu's heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Why are you in a daze?" Shang Wanyan rolled Fatty Lu's eyes, and shouted, "Don't you lead the way? I'm afraid I'll eat yours and use yours. I'm going to eat and use Wu Shixiong's, so you don't need to pay for it."

"Wanyan, I'm so sad when you say this. You should eat mine and use mine. Don't say it's just a few days, it's a lifetime... Okay, I won't talk nonsense, let's go, here It's not far from Prince Pingxi's mansion, and we'll be there soon."

Qianmen Street is indeed not far from Shihu Hutong where Wu Yingxiong's mansion is located. Even on foot, after only half an hour to the west, Fatty Lu abducted Shang Wanyi to the gate of Wu Yingxiong's mansion.After Menzi reported Shang Wanyi's visit to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong was very generous and immediately opened the door, and led his wife Princess Jianning to go out to welcome Shang Wanyi in person. At the same time, Xiao Erlang, Li Tianzhi and others had also returned to Shihu alley.As soon as they met, Xiao Erlang said with a smile: "Master, little Gege, where have you been shopping? The second and third princes of King Pingnan are going crazy, and they are looking for you and little Gege all over the capital." .”

"Let them hurry, don't rush to report to them." Shang Wanyi rushed to say something to Xiao Erlang, and then turned to Wu Yingxiong and his wife Rice: "Brother, Gege, my little sister wants to bother you at your house for a few days, I don't know Brother Can He Gege agree?"

Wu Yingxiong was a little embarrassed, his father Wu Sangui and Shang Wanyi's father Shang Kexi had been at odds all his life, and the relationship was actually not that close.Now that the bad relationship between Wu and Shang's two families has just eased because of the joint salary negotiation, Shang Wanyi, who has turned against his brother and sister, has come to join him. Then the conflict between the Wu and Shang families is bound to regenerate, and the big event of jointly negotiating wages against the imperial court may also be ruined because of this, so Wu Yingxiong can't help but weigh the consequences.

"Your Majesty, little Gege is getting angry." Fatty Lu saw Wu Yingxiong's hesitation, stepped forward, winked at Wu Yingxiong, and said, "If we send little Gege back now, I'm afraid their brothers and sisters will become even more angry. , it would be better to keep her for the time being, and send her back after little Gege and Prince Nanwang's anger are gone."

"That's right." Princess Jianning also showed a rare smile, and supported her husband Wu Yingxiong's arm and said, "Forehead, let Miss Wanyi stay at our house for a few days. I've heard about her too. Kong Sizhen time is a bit too much
Well, Sister Wanyi just beat her up, and now I'm sending her back, I'm afraid she will suffer a loss, so I won't be able to keep her for a few days, and we'll talk about it after the limelight passes. "

"Well, as long as my younger sister doesn't dislike being a shabby home for my brother, you can stay as long as you like." Wu Yingxiong smiled and bowed down the slope, and then ordered: "Come on, make room for some rooms in the back garden, let us Xiao Gege will move in, and I will choose a few servant girls who are more diligent in their hands and feet, and transfer them to serve Xiao Gege."

The servants of the Wu family agreed, and Princess Jianning and the very affectionate monk Wanyi sat together and talked with their shoulders crossed.Taking this opportunity, Fatty Lu winked at Wu Yingxiong a few more times. Wu Yingxiong understood, got up and found an excuse to call Fatty Lu out of the Nuan Pavilion, and led Fatty Lu to his study to sit down. What happened? Why did you ask me to keep Shang Wanyi? The relationship between our Pingxi Palace and Pingnan Palace has just eased, what if Shang Zhixiao is angered by taking Shang Wanyi in?"

"My lord, even if we don't take in Shang Wanyi, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong are planning to sell us." Fatty Lu's face was solemn, and he told Wu Yingxiong in detail the news that Li Tianzhi had inadvertently spied on, and then Said: "Judging from the fact that Kong Sizhen appeared in the Geng Xinghe Mansion, the news Li Tianzhi provided to us is absolutely untrue. The two bastards, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, have made up their minds to make up We sold!"

"Bang!" Even though Wu Yingxiong is very self-cultivated, he couldn't help but slam his fist on the desk at this moment, and scolded with a livid face: "Two bastards! Rebellious boy! For their own personal interests, even Pingnan Both the Wangfu and Jingnan Wangfu dared to betray the interests of the Wangfu, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, two old men, how did they give birth to such a white-eyed wolf?!"

"Don't worry, my son. Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong's defection may not be all bad news for us!" Fatty Lu said calmly: "First, now the enemy is open and we are secretly in the dark. We already know this. The two young men are going to betray us, but they don't know this, we can use them to play tricks, tell them a fake military salary figure, let them tell the court, and fight for the interests of our Pingxi Palace!"

Wu Yingxiong was not stupid either, so he nodded after careful consideration and said, "Yes, these two guys do have this value. Since there is number one, what about number two?"

"Secondly, we can take the opportunity to clean up these two bastards, and sell them favors to Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong." Fatty Lu said darkly, "Master, think about it, if King Pingnan and King Jingnan knew about their In order to inherit the throne, the son is going to sell them. Those two bastards still have good fruit to eat? They are down, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong are still grateful to our Pingxi Palace? They are the real sons and daughters of Prince Pingnan Prince Jingnan, how good it is for San Francisco to unite against the imperial court by building a good relationship with them, I believe there is no need to explain it with a humble job, right?"

"It makes sense, this is indeed a good opportunity." Wu Yingxiong turned his anger into joy, and then said in embarrassment: "But we don't have any evidence in our hands. King Jingnan is better. It is gratifying that the old man will spend his whole life with our Wu family. Don't deal with it, if we tell him without proof that his second son sold them, can that old man believe it?"

"Your Excellency, you are really smart all your life, and you were confused for a while." Fatty Lu said with a sly smile: "Shang Wan and Xiao Gege, isn't it iron-proof evidence? Why did Xiao Gege want to turn his face on the monk's filial piety? Isn't it because of Kong Sizhen? The Kong Sizhen faction Fu Honglie assassinated Shang Wanyi Xiaogege to create the false impression that the lowly elected official from the West raped and murdered Pingnan Wang Xiaogege in Fujian. Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai did it in private, but the witnesses and physical evidence are there, and the three princes have the heart to tear Kong Sizhen apart!"

"My lord, think about it, if this matter gets bigger and bigger, and it gets to King Pingnan and King Jingnan, how can the two princes spare their second son lightly?!"

"Wonderful!" Wu Yingxiong slapped his thigh and asked with great joy, "Then how should we make this matter worse?"

"Don't let little Gege go home, let her live here as long as possible!" Fatty Lu said falsely: "As long as little Gege doesn't leave the Shizi Mansion for a day, and doesn't leave the protection of Prince Pingxi's mansion, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong will have more headaches and embarrassments." , the more there is no way to suppress this matter! King Pingnan and King Jingnan definitely have more than just their son as an intelligence channel in the capital, so it is difficult not to know the news!"

"What if Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili send someone to pick up Shang Wanyi?" Wu Yingxiong asked, "How can I refuse? And if I refuse, how can I tell them the fake military salary figures?"

"My lord, of course you can't be this villain." Fatty Lu said slowly, "However, according to my humble observations, Princess Jianning seems to be very dissatisfied with what Kong Sizhen did. Light up the pillow and encourage Her Royal Highness to be this villain, does Shang Zhixiao and Monk Zhili dare to come in and snatch someone?"

"Bad! Bad! You are so bad, Fatty Lu!" Wu Yingxiong pointed at Fatty Lu and laughed loudly, and said, "His Royal Highness is really dissatisfied with what Kong Sizhen did. To put it bluntly, let me encourage her to fight off Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili, the two bastards really dare not say anything! And if Her Highness the Princess intervenes in this matter, even if you don't want to make a big deal out of it!"

Fatty Lu accompanied him with a silly smile, and after he finished laughing, Fatty Lu started to smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have to take the liberty of reminding you that the woman Kong Sizhen is both beautiful and lascivious, since she can seduce Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong with beauty tricks, It's hard to guarantee that she won't make such an idea against you. When that time comes, son, you must hold on."

"Do you think she hasn't used beauty tricks on me?" Wu Yingxiong said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, as early as the 17th year of Shunzhi when our Pingxi Palace first disarmed, she had already used this trick on me! And not only It's me, my younger brother Wu Yingqi who personally promoted you, he was called Wu Qihua at the time, and she was also used by her as a beauty trap! But it is a pity that she was disappointed, so she has never been in since then. My door."

"My lord, why aren't you and the second prince tempted?" Fatty Lu asked curiously, "That woman Kong Sizhen is not ugly."

"Yifeng, you seem to have forgotten one thing. What is our Wu family famous for?" Wu Yingxiong asked with a smile: "A woman like Kong Sizhen, do my brother and I have eyes?"

"What is your family of Wu traitors most famous for? Isn't it the most famous for betraying the country?" Fatty Lu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Fatty Lu suddenly understood again, and hurriedly cupped his hands to Wu Yingxiong and said with a smile: "My son's family has a long history, and the general family Huzi, for a woman like Kong Sizhen who can do her best, of course she will never be tempted, I admire her humble job, I really admire her!"

"It's a lie to say you're not tempted at all." Wu Yingxiong smiled and said, "But it's just like what you said, a woman like Kong Sizhen who can do her best, gets out of a man's bed today, and will be on the next day tomorrow." Two men's bed, there is no integrity at all, we Wu brothers feel disgusted when we think about it, even if we are tempted, it will become disgusting."

Fatty Lu accompanied him with a smirk, not daring to argue casually, this was the first scar on Wu Sangui's heart - for a Chen Yuanyuan, to lure the Qing soldiers into the pass!Wu Yingxiong took another look at Fatty Lu, also smirked, and said, "Yifeng, since you reminded me not to use Kong Sizhen's beauty tricks, then I also want to remind you—it's okay to like Xiao Gege, but don't be in a hurry." Hands down, let's wait until the matter of paying the salary is over."

"My lord, why do you say that...?" Fatty Lu was a little flustered, and his fat face was rarely flushed.

"You can't hide it from me. The way you look at Little Gege is just like the way I look at Princess Jianning." Wu Yingxiong said with a smile: "Besides, since Little Gege can let you go shopping with her, and let you send her to my place, It proves that she is also interested in you. If you have a chance, work hard. After the salary negotiation is over, try to abduct her to Yunnan."

"Your Majesty, do you support humble officials in doing this?" Fatty Lu was a little surprised.

"Why don't you support it?" Wu Yingxiong laughed even worse, "Father and Shang Kexi have never dealt with each other all their lives, and have fought all their lives—you, a Western election official from the Pingxi Palace, if you abduct Shang Kexi's most beloved daughter to Yunnan, Marrying her as a daughter-in-law is really disgusting, but it's good to be happy. My father and king can't help but smile?!"

"Hey, it seems that there is a reason for this." Fatty Lu was secretly happy—with the support and protection of Wu Sangui and his son, wouldn't his hope of abducting Shang Wanyi be greatly increased?

"My son, my son." At this moment, an anxious voice from the servants of Wu's mansion suddenly sounded outside the door, "My son, the second and third princes of the Pingnan Palace are asking to see each other, saying that they want to take Xiao Gege away, and they are waiting outside the door. .”

"It came so fast. It seems that someone is watching here and tipping off the news." Fatty Lu snorted coldly, then turned to Wu Yingxiong with a smirk and said, "Master, it's up to you."

"Just wait and see, my Princess Jianning's temper is not much better than your little Gege." Wu Yingxiong smiled confidently, and then ordered: "Arrange them to meet at Haochunxuanhou, and be more respectful. Just say I’ll go see them after I change my clothes.”

Wu Yingxiong also rushed to see Princess Jianning blowing the pillow wind to trick her into being a beautiful man, while Fatty Lu went out with a smirk on his face, and quietly ran to Haochunxuan to watch a good show.Entering the back hall of Haochunxuan, I found a gap to take a peek. As expected, the two brothers Shang Zhixiao, who was short and fat, and Shang Zhili, who was pale, were walking around anxiously in the living room with their hands behind their backs. Haven't come yet? It will take so long to change clothes?"

After a while, the servants of Wu's mansion finally heard a long shout from outside the hall, "The prince is here—! Princess He Shuokechun is here—!" Immediately afterwards, Wu Yingxiong and the squat, bow-legged Princess Jianning entered the living room When Shang Zhixiao and Monk Zhili rushed forward to pay his respects, Princess Jianning jumped three feet high, pointed at the two brothers and scolded: "You two slaves, you have the face to enter my house! Your own sister was killed Someone bullied her, you don't help her to seek justice, and even flirt with the person who harmed her, are there any brothers like you?"

"Princess, calm down, please calm down." Wu Yingxiong hurried to pull Princess Jianning, held down Princess Jianning's finger that almost pointed to Shang Zhixiao's nose, and said to Shang Zhixiao and monk Zhizhi: "You two brothers, forgive me, Your Highness It's this temper, don't mind it, don't mind it."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite, so we don't mind." Shang Zhixiao and Monk Zhili were grateful, and said to Princess Jianning with sweat all over his face: "Princess, please forgive me, this matter is our fault, but we really didn't intend to provoke you. Little sister, besides, Si Gege himself explained that this matter was done by Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, two slaves who prepared Si Gege, and had nothing to do with her."

"She coaxed the ghost!" Princess Jianning was furious, "I grew up with her, I don't know what kind of virtue she is? She made it clear this time that she wanted to trap both our Wu family and your Shang family. The family is better, your Shang family's own sister was almost killed by her lackeys, and you actually forced her to bow her head to her and apologize to her! Go and see for yourself, go and see for yourself, your sister, How are you crying now? How did you look like you were beaten and bitten by Kong Sizhen! Get out, get out, I'll get out of you, my family doesn't welcome you two heartless things!"

If someone else scolded him like this, Shang Zhixiao would have jumped eight feet high, but who is Princess Jianning, the current emperor's aunt, where would Shang Zhixiao dare to jump?I can only make amends in a low voice, "The princess is right and good at scolding, but the servant is wrong, the servant deserves to die, and the servant will take Wanyi back, so that I can make up for her!"

"Dream!" Princess Jianning slapped her thigh and roared: "Sister Wanyi won't leave, and I won't let her go, and I won't let her be taken back by you and continue to be bullied and beaten by others! Get out of here! I'll get out! See you in the palace, I'll take her there, I, my sister-in-law, will take care of her! Get out, or if you don't get out, I will beat you with a whip!"

"Princess Empress, you are so kind!" Shang Zhixiao was going crazy—Shang Wanyan went to Beijing to live in Prince Pingxi's mansion. If this matter got to Dad's ears, and Dad found out the reason, he would still be there. Don't you have to chop yourself up?In desperation, Shang Zhixiao was a little unscrupulous, "His Royal Highness, Si Gege asked the servant to bring you a message. This time it was her fault. She shouldn't do this thing that I'm sorry to you. The last time I talked to you You shouldn't bicker over this matter in the palace, please forgive her this time because of the sisterhood between her and you for many years."

"What?" Wu Yingxiong is also a bad breed, and immediately interjected: "Brother Zhixiao, so Si Gege admits that she was responsible for the incident in Fujian? If so, we brothers should jointly impeach her ? She wants to drive a wedge between our Pingxi Palace and your Pingnan Palace, are our two palaces so easy to bully?"

"No! Sigege didn't admit it!" Shang Zhixiao was shocked, and quickly denied it.

"Then why do you say that Si Gege is sorry for the princess in this matter?" Wu Yingxiong asked, then turned to Princess Jianning and said kindly: "Princess, why don't we and my wife send Xiao Gege to Brother Zhili's house, and Si Gege Also called, to explain clearly face to face?"

"Don't give it away! Don't give it away!" Princess Jianning roared in anger: "She, Kong Sizhen, came here if she had the guts to explain clearly to me why she sent someone to assassinate Little Gege, and why she wanted to frame her as a scapegoat. On the father-in-law's subordinate! If Little Gege wants to live here, I will let her live here, but I want to see, who dares to take her away?!"

"Princess, please be kind." Shang Zhixiao said with a sad face, "If you let my father know that my younger sister has stayed in your house and refused to leave because she was angry with me, then the servant will not have explained to my father."

"Brother Zhixiao, I have to say something to you." Wu Yingxiong took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Brother Zhixiao, you say it yourself, you know that Si Gege is trying to murder your sister, and you are so affectionate with her, are you worthy of Sister Wanyi? It's not like you don't know about Si Gege's hobbies, so you don't think about your sister's reputation, and force her to be with Si Gege?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't think well about this matter, it's my fault." Shang Zhixiao wiped his sweat, regretting bringing his sister to the capital this time - I knew that Kong Sizhen would also come to the capital, so I shouldn't bring this trouble The little girl came to the capital.

"Come on, bring me a horsewhip!" Princess Jianning yelled, "These two wolf-hearted things won't go away, so I will take them out."

"Brother Zhixiao, Brother Zhili." Wu Yingxiong exclaimed, and said kindly: "Go quickly, your highness can do what she says, but I can't hold her back brother at that time! Go quickly, after a few days, your highness the princess After the anger with Little Gege subsides, Brother Yu will personally send Little Gege back to you."

Brothers Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili were afraid that things would become serious, so of course they refused to leave. Unfortunately, Princess Jianning is indeed a lord who can do what she says, and soon, the servants of the Wu family sent the horsewhip into Haochunxuan, Jianning The princess took the whip and whipped Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili with the whip without saying a word. The brothers Shang Zhixiao and Shang Zhili did not dare to fight back. They took a few whips while dodging and screamed. She crawled out of Haochunxuan, but Princess Jianning chased them out, it seemed that she was determined to beat the brothers out of her home.

"Your Highness, I can't, they are all court officials, all court officials!" Wu Yingxiong also chased after him, and while pretending to pull Princess Jianning, he shouted, "Brother Zhixiao, Brother Zhili, Xiaozhang accepts you!" Go with the big stick, you guys go, Brother Yu will come to the door in person to make an apology some other day——!"

"Wu Yingxiong, this kid, is really good at training his wife." Fatty Lu couldn't help but secretly praised him after watching the excitement from the beginning to the end while hiding in the back, "I must ask him for some advice some other day. I learned his training." Wife's means, in the future, I won't worry about not being able to marry a concubine."
