Zhao Yanheng returned to the city that day, riding on the horse and becoming more and more energetic, with a shallow smile on the way.

The brothers and sisters of the Li family rested in the Lin family for a night, and entered the city in the early morning of the next day, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw all the people carrying burdens in all directions and pulling the car to enter the city to stand aside, and lined up in a long line that could not see the city gate, because there were soldiers guarding the city patrolling back and forth, and a group of ordinary people did not dare to complain, put down their burdens, led the livestock, and occasionally looked anxiously at both sides of the city and outside the city, and did not know which family of nobles wanted to cross the city gate, whether they wanted to go out of the city or enter the city.

The carriage of the Li family was also lined up in a regular manner.

After a while, smoke and dust billowed on the official road outside the city, and more than a dozen horsemen slowly came slowly around a three-wheeled canopy carriage, and after this carriage, there were two flat-topped blue silk carriages and three stone blue solo carriages full of salutes.

This group of people galloped directly into the city and did not stop at the city gate checkpoint. After a moment of the crowd, the crowd inside and outside the city resumed its flow.

Lin Yi was on an errand at this city gate, Li Di asked Lin Yi about the situation, got into the carriage, and said to Li Su and Li Fei in the car: "Strange, it was the Hou Shizi and his wife from Zhennan who entered the city just now!"

Guo Shaoguang, the eldest girl who has been married in the Qianguo Mansion, she married to the Jiang family of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, Guangxi, three years ago the old Zhennan Marquis died of illness, her father-in-law inherited the title, her husband was named the prince, she is now the wife of the Hou Shizi of Zhennan, she took her husband back to her parents' house, and entered the city to put on the pomp just now?

Li Su silently calculated the people and things of the Qianguo Mansion in his heart, and said: "When the Hou Shizi and his wife from Zhennan entered the city, something was going to happen. ”

The Jinxing Mansion where the Marquis of Zhennan is located is more than 800 miles away from Kunming, and Guo Shaoguang has not returned to his parents' home once for several years after he got married; of course, if the married woman marries far away, she may not have the opportunity to return to her parents' home for the rest of her life; Guo Jiaming has no major incident on his face in April, and what are Guo Shaoguang and her husband doing when they travel 800 miles to Kunming? Moreover, they did not enter the city silently, they just put on a show, and the appearance of the Hou Shizi and his wife in Kunming will be spread in the officialdom.

When Guo Shaoguang got married, her husband Jiang Zhongyuan had never been to Kunming, and only picked up the wedding car at the border of Guangxi. ”

This time, the Hou Shizi and his wife in Zhennan walked together, was there something wrong with the Guo family or something with the Jiang family? Is it a short matter of the parents or is it involved in government and military affairs, Li Fei could not care about it in the past, but now Li Fei has to care about one or two.

In the courtyard of Mrs. Chen of the Guo family, the fourteen-year-old Guo Liuguang painted exquisite makeup, combed a meniscus bun, wore several jasper prismatic hairpins on the bun, hung a gold collar on his chest, and wore a pressed skirt around his waist, and wore a new red background ten brocade makeup shirts.

The curtain opened, and it was her eldest sister who had never met Jiang Zhongyuan, who had never met after four years, Guo Liuguang put Bantai's eyes on his eldest brother-in-law Jiang Zhongyuan, twenty-five-year-old Jiang Zhongyuan had thick eyebrows and small eyes, a Chinese face, a hooked nose, and a slightly dark complexion.

"Mother-in-law, Wan'an! When my grandfather was seriously ill, my son-in-law was not able to go to the house in person, and there were always things in the past few years, so I only had more than ten days of leisure at this time, so I came to ask my mother-in-law to say goodbye, and asked my mother-in-law to forgive my son-in-law for the crime of disrespect over the years. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan is well-behaved, he doesn't look sideways after entering the door, kneeling on the brocade mat and bowing to Mrs. Chen, Jinxing Mansion is more than 800 miles away from Kunming, after he and Guo Shaoguang got married, what three dynasties returned to the door, and the second day of the new year to return to his mother's house, these ceremonies were abolished, so this time I saw my mother-in-law, so I had to be so formal.

Jiang Zhongyuan knelt on the brocade mat, smiling honestly and loyally, and his mouth was very sweet.

Mrs. Chen looked at the thick fat powder on Guo Shaoguang's face, forced a smile, invited her son-in-law to sit down, served tea, and asked a few words about Guo Shaoguang's days in the Hou Mansion in Zhennan in the past four years. It's still a scene, Jiang Zhongyuan only said that the daughter of the Guo family was well educated, and Guo Shaoguang also said that everything went well, but the old marquis died of illness in the middle, and Jiang Zhongyuan, as the eldest grandson of the lord, kept the twenty-seven great filial piety, and the two had no children yet.

Speaking of which, a mother-in-law pinched the hour before pleasing the Zhennan Hou Shizi and his wife to ask Mrs. Zhu to say goodbye.

Mrs. Zhu is a grandmother, of course she has to ask for peace, Mrs. Zhu, there are also Guo Kun's family and some elders and peers in the Guo family, these people have been socializing for a long time, Jiang Zhongyuan and Guo Kun are locked in the study and talking.

Mrs. Zhu also let Mrs. Chen and Guo Shaoguang go down to talk to herself.

Of course, it was two people alone, Mrs. Chen rubbed Guo Shaoguang's haggard face, and said hurriedly: "Tell me the truth, why did you come back?"

The Guo family has no daughters in this generation, and Guo Shaoguang is also a concubine, but compared to Guo Liuguang's Aunt Qian, Mrs. Chen's husband came in from outside without her permission, Guo Shaoguang's biological mother Aunt Cao is Mrs. Chen's main animal and sent to her husband's bed, and Aunt Qian is still alive, after losing the support of a man, she cowered and begged for a living under the master's mother, Aunt Cao fell ill when Guo Shaoguang was more than a year old, and Mrs. Chen took Guo Shaoguang over to raise her.

From these two, Guo Shaoguang and Mrs. Chen really have the love of biological mother and daughter, and Guo Shaoguang is married so well, although Jiang Zhongyuan and her are married for the second time, and the original partner only leaves a daughter, as long as Guo Shaoguang can give birth to a son-in-law, her husband and wife are expensive in this life, and her mother is expensive by virtue of her son, which is not bad.

Moreover, Mrs. Chen's house is closely related to Guo Shaoguang and Zhennan Hou Mansion, and the mother-daughter relationship between the two is even stronger.

Guo Shaoguang was originally a beautiful woman as his name suggests, but in recent days, he has been exhausted, and his color has been stained, his skin is dull, his eyes are blurred, and he is speechless for a while.

Mrs. Chen speculated by herself and said, "When you come back this time, do you want to choose a few people to come over?"

Jiang Zhongyuan is a lustful person, and he is greedy for freshness, Guo Shaoguang's four maids who married in the past have all been slept with by Jiang Zhongyuan, and Jiang Zhongyuan has lost interest in sleeping, Guo Shaoguang not only wants to envelop her husband's body, but also wants to control the women in the backyard to challenge her status, so she must choose some women who can pinch in the palm of her hand, and choose from the slaves of her mother's family, which is the most suitable.

"At this time, he doesn't have this mood!" Guo Shaoguang's love is very low, what is more terrible than the woman next to her husband's sleep?

Guo Shaoguang had already cried, grabbed Mrs. Chen's sleeve and cried: "Mother, you must help me this time, Zhongyuan said, this time as long as the Guo family helps him through this calamity, he will never be confused by those fox spirits in the future!"

"What the hell is going on?"

Sure enough, this time Jiang Zhongyuan had a request from the Guo family, and Mrs. Chen couldn't listen to Guo Shaoguang just crying like this, and she didn't say anything serious, so her tone became stern.

Guo Shaoguang didn't dare to disobey the stern mother-in-law, and immediately stopped crying: "Mother also knows that at the end of last year, Zhongyuan was appointed as a general, commanding the military affairs of the four prefectures of Taiping, Siming, Zhen'an, and Si'en, in January this year, the weapons and ordnance in the arsenal of the four prefectures were partially stolen, at the end of last month, news came from Beijing, the imperial court was going to send a messenger to inspect the military affairs of Guangxi, and now the imperial court is going to send someone down to inspect, and the Jiang family has no clue, if you can't stop the mouth of the qincha, if you can't hide this matter, Zhongyuan's position as the prince can't be kept." ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes darkened, and she scolded a waste, this sentence was to scold Jiang Zhongyuan, but now that the disaster has been broken, no matter how much she scolds, it is useless, Mrs. Chen settled down and asked: "How many weapons and ordnance have been stolen from the arsenal of the four mansions? And how many people in the Zhennan Hou Mansion know about this matter?"

Guo Shaoguang also knew that in front of Mrs. Chen, she had to explain the severity of this matter clearly, so she closed her eyes, her face turned white, and specifically talked about the theft of the arsenal, bows, arrows, knives and guns, saddle armor, Guo Shaoguang Every time she said a specific number, Mrs. Chen gasped, what did Jiang Zhongyuan eat, so many weapons and ordnance flowed into the hands of thieves, and the disasters were endless, if the imperial court traced it, Jiang Zhongyuan's future would not be guaranteed. Guo Shaoguang also held tea for Mrs. Chen and said: "Zhongyuan has blocked this matter, except for Hou Ye in the Hou Mansion, no one else knows, Hou Ye's meaning is also to let Zhongyuan fill in this blank first, the stolen things, those who can buy them, those who can borrow them, and then find out those thieves who steal, and kill them in one fell swoop, it will be regarded as a crime, otherwise it will be ......"

Otherwise, Guo Shaohua would not have said bluntly that the titles of each family, according to the order of inheritance, should be passed on to the son-in-law and the eldest son of the grandson, but if the eldest son of the grandson is not virtuous, immoral, and let go of the big mistake is a waste, the title canonized by the imperial court cannot be passed on to the hands of the waste who has no virtue. In addition to Jiang Zhongyuan, the eldest son, the Jiang family also has the second son and the third son, if Jiang Zhongyuan can't clean up this mess, there is no need to wait for the imperial court to issue an order to seize the throne, and the Jiang clan will ask to abolish Jiang Zhongyuan's throne.

So this time, the purpose of Zhennan Hou Shizi and his wife is obvious, borrowing money from the Guo family to fill the big hole of the arsenal, money is still a trivial matter, the Guo family is guarding one side, what Jiang Zhongyuan wants to borrow most is weapons and ordnance, as well as borrowing soldiers to suppress bandits!

Zhennanhou, who was sitting in Jinxing Mansion, also meant this, and used the power of the Qianguo Mansion in the army to fool this matter over.

Mrs. Chen's lips were pale, and her head hurt and said, "This matter is a request for the second uncle!"

The current Qianguo Gong is a gorgeous ornament, and the seal of the general of Zhengxi is in the hands of Guo Kun, that is to say, the right to transfer troops and send generals is in the hands of Guo Kun. Whether Guo Kun is willing to wipe this bad ass for this niece and son-in-law has to be said!

"Mother, you and I go and beg Grandmother, and then we are in front of Grandmother, and we will say this......"

In front of Mrs. Zhu and Guo Kun, don't be so honest, just say that bandits in Guangxi are rampant, they are entangled together, and they want to rob the arsenal, so it is better to strike first, and Chen Chongbing will wipe out the bandits in Guangxi.

The father and son of the Jiang family wanted to muddy the waters of the Taiping, Siming, Zhen'an, and Si'en Prefectures before the arrival of the Qin Cha, and under the turbid water, the little things that were stolen from the arsenal of the four mansions were also invisible.
