Fierce “Husband”

Wang Shijing was not at home, and Shao Yunan heard that the emperor Longyan was furious, and it was King Luo Rong who told him. King Luo Rong was not present, but it did not affect his knowledge of the news in the palace. I don't know how many people want to pull him and Wang Shijing down. It's better to have a full door, so he is not angry. Emperor Yongming's attitude has made it clear that he is protecting them, and he has nothing to be afraid of. When the matter of the crossbow and gunpowder is exposed, the status of their loyal and brave Houfu will be more stable, and who should be afraid of those who have ghosts in their hearts.

The affairs of the imperial court, Shao Yun threw it to the Emperor Yongming and the Empress with peace of mind. He focused on preparing hot pot restaurants and private restaurants with Guo Zimu. After more than 20 days of intensive preparations, the decoration of the private restaurant has been completed, and the hot pot restaurant can also be guaranteed to officially open in a month. Shopkeeper Xu was transferred to the capital, and just as Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion opened, the two friends, Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Zeng, met again in the capital.

As soon as the Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion opened, it played the main theme of this season's string bean pendant. The original set of jade green beans had been sent to the queen by Wei Hongwen at the beginning. The green beans launched by Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion this time were all carved from various colors of jade from this dynasty. The four beans are more prosperous; The three-beans have three yuan in a row, and the blessings, luck, and longevity will come together; the mother and son of the two-beans have made a lot of gimmicks, and they have been greatly sought after as soon as they are launched. Even if there are other companies that have launched green beans, they all make people feel that they are not as authentic as the authentic products produced by Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion. It can be said that the Shanzhai thought brought by Shao Yunan Baobao has now penetrated into the heart of the upper class in the capital.

With string beans as the mainstay, coupled with the unique jade jewelry of Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion, it is expected that Yunlong Jewelry Pavilion will make a lot of money. What Shao Yunan did not expect was that the thousand-year-old tortoiseshell that was bought by the auction house was bought by someone sent by Wei Hongwen. It didn't take long for it to be delivered to the Queen's hand. Wei Hongwen has been in business for many years, and naturally he has a lot of savings. When the Wei family was raided, Emperor Yongming did not touch Wei Hongwen's private property. This thousand-year tortoiseshell was his personal filial piety to the queen, and the queen accepted it.

The three people sent by the monarch of the Das country have come and gone, but there has been no movement from the Das country. However, many businessmen of the Das country have tried their best to establish a relationship with the Hou Zhongyong. I hope that the Hou Zhongyong can relieve them. A ban on buying goods from the auction house Zhongyong Houfu. You can understand this when you think about it. The monarch of Dasi is also afraid of death. Through the mouth of the auction house Jiang Kangchen, everyone now knows that the tea and wine that the Houfu of Zhongyong brought to the auction house is a good thing, especially if the merchants who bought the tea and wine have taken it, it is indeed harmful to the body. The good thing is that now the tea and wine sold by Yunlong Auction House have been fired to sky-high prices. Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to start a war with Dayan, which is across the sea from Dayan and has no direct contact with the Central Plains of Dayan. The only thing that can be done is to make good friends with Dayan. Get tea and wine from the auction house. In this regard, the monarch of the country of Das officially sent a mission, which is still on the way. Not only that, the Dashan tribe and the Xianlu Kingdom also sent missions.

Wang Shijing came back from the suburbs of Beijing again. The cucumbers and tomatoes were still a month or two away from harvest, but it was time for him and Shao Yunan to go back. After Wang Shijing came back, the husband and his wife entered the palace once. Emperor Yongming and Empress Jun knew that they were going back to make wine, but they did not hold back. Moreover, the embassies of Dasi Kingdom, Xianlu Kingdom and Dashan tribe would also arrive in the capital one after another. It's better for them to avoid it.

Neither did they delay. Jiang Moxi would definitely not be able to leave. Wang Qing and Nizi lived in the Luo Rong palace, and the old general could not leave either. The old lady, the old Zhengjun and Su Chenyi followed them to Zhongyong Village. The experimental base was handed over to Murong Shizi. After staying in the suburbs of Beijing for so long, Murong Shizi also had experience. But to the surprise of the husband and the husband, Old Man Weng and Old Man Cen also went with them. Old Cen wants to go back to deal with some housework, and he also has to leave Baiyue Academy to someone who can rest assured. When he returns to Beijing, Kang Rui will go to Beijing with him.

Elder Weng is now obsessed with research, and no longer cares about the troubles in the court. When Elder Cen wants to go back, he will naturally follow him.

Five days later, a mighty group of people left the capital and went to Zhongyong Village, Yongxiu County. Emperor Yongming not only sent ten emperor personal guards to **** him, but also sent a imperial guard to **** him. Together with the soldiers of the general's mansion, the **** team alone reached more than 200 people. The big and small Jin also stayed in the Luo Rong palace, and Brother Hu followed Shao Yunan and the others back. Wu Jian was carried from the palace to the general's mansion and taken away together. Just the day before, Emperor Yongming ordered the construction of the Temple of Loyalty and Merit Monument. The Monument of Merit was built by the bank of the Zhongyong Houfu, and the Zhongyi Temple was jointly funded by the Ministry of Household, the private treasury of Emperor Yongming, the rescue fund, and the Zhongyonghoufu. The news of the Martyr's Shrine's letter to the emperor from the Martyr of Loyalty spread like wildfire. Not to mention what the ministers in the court thought, the soldiers who were guarding the border were extremely sympathetic to the Martyr who came out of the army after hearing the news. It can be said that this incident gave Wang Shijing a high reputation in the army, and also accumulated a certain reputation among those Qingliu ministers in the court.

Sitting on the royal ship, the ship went south quickly, and four days later, the ship docked at the pier in Yongxiu County. Unlike when he left, before disembarking, Shao Yunan saw a group of officials and gentry in Yongxiu County who were already waiting on the dock. He is most familiar with Guo Ziyu, the newly appointed magistrate of Yongxiu County, and Dai Jiang, who is still in Yongxiu County.

When they got off the boat, Guo Ziyu brought someone forward to greet him. The identities of Weng Lao, Lao Zhengjun and Lao Madam are there, and everyone is naturally saluting. Although Lao Cen has no official position, he also has a detached position in Yongxiu County, and it is natural to be greeted by people. But when they left, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan, who were just muddy legs, came back from the capital and became a first-class marquis and a second-class general. It was awkward, even Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan who were saluted were also awkward, not to mention Guo Ziyu and Dai Jiang among the people who saluted.

When Guo Zimu and Dai Jiang saluted them, Wang Shijing immediately reached out to stop them. Shao Yunan said to Guo Ziyu as usual: "Brother Guo, we will not stay in the county, we will go home directly. We can settle down at home."

His routine made Guo Ziyu much more normal, and replied, "It's all taken care of."

Of course, the others wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with the newly-appointed Marquis of Zhongyong, Lao Weng and the General's Mansion, and have a meal or something. Wang Shijing declined on the grounds that he was tired from the journey and just wanted to go home and rest, and Guo Ziyu didn't speak, so they could only watch Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan help a few "old people" get into the car and leave. Not surprisingly, Guo Ziyu wanted to follow them back to Zhongyong Village, and Dai Jiang followed suit. Guo Ziyu has left the slave loan, but his household registration is still loyal to the king's family. In terms of identity, both Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu are still loyal to the king's family.

This is still the case in Yongxiu County, and the original Xiushui Village, which was renamed Zhongyong Village, is even more "lively". The motorcade continued on its way to Zhongyong Village. Before entering the village, someone reported to Wang Shijing, and a dense group of people knelt at the entrance of the village. Shao Yunan rested his forehead, Wang Shijing's eyes twitched a little. Even in modern times, sudden changes in identity can cause great differences in the treatment of people around them, let alone in ancient times.

The biggest official that the villagers of Zhongyong Village can meet in their life may be the magistrate of Yongxiu County. It is because of the relationship between Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan that the former magistrate often runs to Zhongyong Village. And now, a Marquis is going to their village. No matter what the status of the Marquis in the village, as long as he thinks of the other party's current status, it is enough for everyone to have weak legs, not to mention some guilty conscience. people.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the village, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan did not show up, Dai Jiang came forward to get everyone up, saying that Hou Ye and Zhengjun were going to return directly to the house. Everyone bowed their heads and greeted Lord Hou and Zhengjun back to the mansion. The carriages, escorted by guards with knives on horseback, drove towards the westernmost part of the village, which was also the largest house in the village. Among these people, Wang Wenhe was staggeringly supported by his son, and the corners of his eyes were red. Zhao Yuande and Wang Shuping were also extremely uncomfortable. People who used to eat at the same table can only look up now.

Different from the various "sorrows" of the villagers, the people who stayed behind in Wang's house were all beaming. The gate of Wang's house opened early. As soon as the people here entered the village, all the people in the Wang residence came out to greet them. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, who could be regarded as people from the Wang residence, also stood at the door wearing new clothes that they would only wear during the New Year, with tears of joy in the corners of their eyes.

When the car stopped, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan just got off the carriage, and everyone in Wang's house shouted under the leadership of the housekeeper Fusheng: "Welcome Lord Hou, Zhengjun returning to the hospital——"

Originally, there was only a small plaque with "Wang's House" written on it, but at this time a large plaque with "Loyalty and Courage" was hung. Shao Yunan coughed twice, Wang Shijing tried his best to help the old man get out of the car with a sullen face, and Fu Sheng also hurriedly brought the servants to say goodbye and stepped forward to serve.

Brother Hu, who jumped out of the car, let out a roar, stretched his waist, and ran towards the back mountain, obviously suffocated. On the way, Shao Yunan only occasionally let him go to the space to have fun, and each time was not long. Several "old people" entered the house. Except for the old couple Cen, everyone else took a good look around the house, and they were more relieved than satisfied. Although it was known that Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan lived well in Zhongyong Village, they were not as good as seeing it with their own eyes.

Su Chenyi's eyes turned red from time to time, and Shao Yunan kept holding him. After reading it, Shao Yunan personally sent grandma, grandpa and dad back to the house arranged for them. Several elders lived in the small courtyard, and the old couple lived in their original courtyard. The guards who followed were settled by Fusheng. Fortunately, the Wang Mansion was big enough that it was barely settled.

After everyone was settled, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan received Guo Ziyu and Dai Jiang in the main hall.

Dai Jiang first said: "The decree of the thousand years old, the Shao family and his wife will be beheaded in half, and they will be beheaded after the autumn. Shao Dahu should be stabbed as an army, and Shao Zhen should be a slave. The Shao family will be exiled. The Zhu family will be exiled." Said: "Qiansui should still look at the face of Lord Hou, and only exiled her own family, and did not involve the three groups. The Zhu family..." Seeing that Wang Shijing was still calm, Dai Jiang still said truthfully: "The Zhu family bestowed A glass of poisonous wine."

Guo Ziyu interjected: "Wang Dali, Wang Tianyan, and Wang Chunxiu are all fine, but the three groups of descendants of Wang Tianyan and Wang Chunxiu are not allowed to enco. This is also a kindness to a thousand years old." No family can escape.

Some things, Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan already know, others are just guesses. Now that they have heard the full version, neither of them are much relieved.

Dai Jiang then said with some shame: "Shao Dahu was not at home when he was arrested, and he is still on the run. He may have escaped from Yongxiu County. But if we don't catch him, our people will not be withdrawn for a day."

Wang Shijing nodded. On the way back, he saw a reward order posted by Shao Dahu at the gate of Yongxiu County. He said: "It's hard work for the commander. However, the most dangerous place is often the safest place, and Shaojia Village must be strictly investigated."

Dai Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll tell you to go down immediately." After that, he got up and saluted and left in a hurry, but when he left, he gave Guo Ziyu a special look.

As soon as Dai Jiang left, the three people in the room were considered his own. Guo Ziyu said with a tangled expression on his horse: "Master Hou, Zimu he..."

Wang Shijing: "Ziyu, don't make too much profit in private."

This time, Wang Shijing was particularly uncomfortable with the change in his identity. Guo Ziyu glanced at him and changed his mouth: "Ishijing, Yun'an, what's the matter with Zimu? I'm still the county magistrate. The prefect wants me to This year's Enke must be a jinshi, but I can't calm down and study now."

Guo Ziyu was in a hurry. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan were far away in the capital. Jiang Kangning hurriedly explained the affairs of the county government and then went to the Nanfu Palace to take office. His relationship with Jiang Kangning was not as good as that with Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan. Not even better to ask. Dai Jiang didn't know the inside story. Now that Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan are back, Wang Shijing's actions at the pier reassured him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to ask questions.

Shao Yunan laughed and said, "Big Brother Guo, put your heart in your stomach. The love between Brother Xiao Guo and Uncle Murong gives me goosebumps every time I see it. You If I see you in the future, I will absolutely tire of you."

The closeness in Shao Yunan's words made Guo Ziyu even more at ease and anxious: "What the **** is going on!"

Shao Yunan patted Wang Shijing, Wang Shijing stood up: "I'm going to the kitchen." Then he left. Only then did Shao Yunan tell Guo Ziyu about the romantic history of Guo Zimu and King Luo Rong with a heart of gossip. Guo Ziyu's face was red and his ears were red when he heard it, and he gritted his teeth. How could his brother be so unreserved!

After talking about the romance between Guo Zimu and King Luo Rong, Shao Yunan told the truth about why the emperor wanted Guo Ziyu to be the magistrate of Yongxiu County. Although the matter of Xianguo still made Guo Ziyu gasp again, but knowing why he became the county magistrate, Guo Ziyu can be regarded as finding a direction.

"Brother Guo, if you don't become the county magistrate, our previous plan will not be able to continue. The emperor is eager to get the elder brother to go to Beijing, but the elder brother needs to accumulate enough political capital to go to the capital before he can fight those people. , so you are the county magistrate and the eldest brother is the prefect is the best combination. We must increase the economic strength of Yongxiu County within a sufficient period of time and provide enough political capital for the eldest brother. "

Guo Ziyu had long been accustomed to the modern tone of Shao Yunan's speech, he nodded and said cautiously: "I understand. I will do my best for Enke in August. Except for the spring tea that needs to be delivered to the capital, all the spring tea has been sent by Mr. Wei. It was taken away. Boss Chen has also taken the goods to Das Country, but I heard that you are having trouble with the people in Das Country this time. I wonder if it will affect the sales of this batch of goods."

Shao Yunan: "It depends on the ability of Wei Hongru and Boss Chen, but it shouldn't be a big problem. In Shangyanshang, as long as there are enough interests, the merchants will not care if the emperor kills a few Dasi people. They Dasi The people of our country have also killed our Dayan people." With a wave of his hand, Shao Yunan said, "We can't manage so much, and this is not something we can worry about. I have prepared the dowry for Brother Big Guo and Brother Xiao Guo, you have If you want to buy more for him, add a little more. The wedding is scheduled for November 18. Uncle Murong is in a hurry to marry Xiao Guo, so the time is relatively short. Xiao Guo will marry from the Zhongyonghou Mansion. You have to be there anyway."

Guo Ziyu took a deep breath and said, "It's a blessing for Zimu to be liked by the lord, and his parents can feel at ease in the underground. On the day he gets married, I will carry him on the sedan chair." Guo Ziyu lowered his head, The Adam's apple floated a few times, and then he raised his head, his voice was a little hoarse, and his fingers curled up, "Zimu... Has he taken pregnancy fruit?"

Shao Yunan immediately shook his head: "No. I heard Brother Xiao Guo mean he didn't want children, he was afraid of pain."

Guo Ziyu just laughed, he didn't want his younger brother to marry into the palace in such a hurry because he was pregnant. However, Guo Ziyu knew his younger brother and said, "I don't think he is afraid of pain, but because of your influence, he just wants to think about the two-person world."

Shao Yunan coughed twice: "It's none of my business. Brother Guo is so arrogant and arrogant that he is spoiled by Uncle Murong. I think he just doesn't want his children to distract Uncle Murong from him."

Guo Ziyu was speechless, he really couldn't think of how "arrogant" his younger brother was.

On this day, no one came out of the Zhongyonghou Courtyard. In the evening, Kang Rui came. Guo Ziyu is going to participate in this year's Enke, and Kang Rui has written him a letter of recommendation. Weng Lao and Cen Lao are here, as well as Kang Rui and Guo Ziyu, who are close to the water tower. Guo Ziyu has no ambitions to be an official. When Jiang Kangning doesn't need him, he still wants to resign from the official position. He knows that his character is not suitable for a career. In contrast, he is more willing to do business. He also told Shao Yunan what he thought. Shao Yunan supported him. Although Guo Ziyu's legs were much better, the pain he suffered in the past would probably accompany him for the rest of his life. Officialdom is indeed not suitable for Guo Ziyu, who has long been pessimistic about world affairs.

Dinner is relatively simple, with chicken noodle soup paired with a few refreshing side dishes. Although it splashes, it is the most suitable for the heavy task of running all the way. Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan were also temporarily unable to meet their "friends" in the village. After coming here, Su Chenyi's mood has been very low, Shao Yunan has to coax his own father first.
