At the same moment, Li Huaizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had just returned to the mansion from outside.

Mrs. Li, Zeng, has been keeping a cold face since she returned from the house.

Li Huaizhi returned to the main room and looked at her face, and couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter?" he asked, sitting down at the table.

Zeng sat down.

"What else could it be?" she said in a bad tone, a little aggrieved.

Hearing this, Li Huaizhi narrowed his slightly sunken eyes: "They confiscated things?"

"It's not just the confiscation of things!" Speaking of this, Zeng Shi exploded at one point, and said angrily: "My face is almost going to be lost--and I still sent it to the door by myself! What do you say you are not doing well, you have to let a dignified lady of Yipin go to that dilapidated place and give things to people in a low voice! If this matter spreads again, Li Huaizhi, where will you put my face?"

I almost pointed at my nose and scolded.

Li Huaizhi is notoriously afraid of guilt.

He can have today, all thanks to the support of the Zeng family all the way, so although he doesn't like his wife's domineering willfulness, but in order to prevent the truth from falling, he can only respect Zeng's good life.

At this time, in the face of his wife's venting, he could only try his best to endure it, and said with good words: "Since they refuse to accept it, they should be afraid that they will fall into the handle and be caught...... Madame was too worried. ”

Although his wife is from a beautiful background, somehow, not only does she have no self-cultivation at all, but she also has no basic vision and knowledge, which often makes him feel powerless.

Although the Zeng family helped him a lot, in the same way, the Zeng family also dragged him back.

Unwilling to listen to her continue to complain more about this matter, Li Huaizhi rushed ahead and asked, "What did they say?"

"Where did they come from. Zeng snorted coldly and said: "The one who entertained me was the master who married from the Yinglian Mansion, as for that Heshen, I haven't been able to see anyone at all." ”

"Then according to that, refusing to accept the congratulatory gifts we sent, is it what this and Mrs. mean?"

"Not really. Thinking of Feng Jiwen's attitude at that time, Zeng felt extremely angry, and said with a sneer on his face: "I didn't ask what He Shen meant, but I was very in charge!"

If so, it is understandable. Li Huaizhi looked very calm, "Although the things we gave are heavy, this and Mrs. are young ladies married in Yinglian Mansion, and it is reasonable not to be swayed by this little money." ”

If it were Na Shen today, it would be hard to guarantee that it would not be rejected.

Zeng only sneered when he heard his words.

"Actually, it wasn't my intention to let my wife go to give a gift today. Li Huaizhi explained to him on the side: "It was the instruction of Lord Jin." ”

"Lord Kim?" Zeng was slightly surprised.

What is this doing, Lord Kim?

Li Huaizhi said "um".

At first, he didn't expect to give a gift to this He Shen to thank him.

He is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, why is it necessary to thank this nobody?

He handled Qian Yingming's case properly, which can only be said to be a little eyesight, and he didn't dare to offend him, a first-class person.

But Jin Jian said something, this person is deeply favored by the emperor, if he can take this opportunity to win over as soon as possible, maybe there will be a time to use it in the future.

Jin Jian has always been cautious in doing things.

"Left and right are not a big deal. Li Huaizhi took a sip of the tea bowl and said, "When a new official takes office, it is inevitable that he must always be cautious. Since we have given the gifts, whether they accept them or not, the meaning is passed on. ”

As for the rest, it will be a long time coming.

……

and otaku.

Seeing He Shen coming back, Feng Jiwen wanted to sit down with him and have a good talk about today's affairs.

Unexpectedly, He Shen smiled and proposed, why don't you take a walk around.

Feng Jiwen nodded without thinking.

The husband and wife walked out of Tsubaki Temple.

Xiaoxian and Xiaocha followed far behind.

The glow on the edge of the sky is just right, dyeing the sky and the earth with a layer of red.

The husband and wife walked slowly side by side, and Feng Jiwen was the first to speak.

She asked Qian Yingming about it first.

She heard Xiaoxing say that when she sent Zeng's out, she happened to meet Liu Quan sending Qian Yingming and Ding Ziyu out, and Qian Yingming's face was not good-looking.

Obviously, it didn't work out.

But if He Shen didn't handle this matter for him, judging from this person's temperament, how could he give up?

"I didn't present his exam papers to the emperor. He Shen said.

Feng Jiwen was even more incomprehensible: "Then he just forgot it?"

In his essay, he quoted a poem. Unfortunately, this poem contains the words 'Fu' and 'Ming' respectively at the beginning and end, and His Majesty is now very secretive about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and has always strictly forbidden the literati to pass on such poems privately, not to mention that he also moved such poems containing disobedience to the scientific field. Speaking of this, He Shen's tone was slightly solemn: "Fortunately, the official who reviewed the file did not pay attention to it, otherwise he would not have escaped even if he was unintentional." ”

Where can such examination papers be presented to the emperor?

Isn't that tantamount to self-defeating?

Feng Jiwen was also a little shocked when she heard it.

If He Shen doesn't check and submits it like this, I'm afraid he will also be implicated.

But immediately, she turned her head to look at He Shen with a little hindsight and asked, "When did you learn about this?"

He Shen didn't answer her question, but only tugged at the corners of his lips with a smile.

“……”

This man already knew.

Feng Jiwen suddenly wanted to laugh.

Whether He Shen is good or bad is sometimes really hard to say.

He investigated Qian Yingming's case, and knew that the former Beijing Yazhi County would look for Qian Yingming to seek revenge, but he never reminded him and sent someone to protect him secretly, but he waited until Qian Yingming was beaten and lost half his life before he came to the rescue. said that if he did not do this, Qian Ying would not perceive the threat and would not compromise easily.

At that time, she looked at the matter from the perspective of an ordinary person, and only thought that this was a person who was good at doing things and found other shortcuts, smart, but not a good person.

In the same way, if there is too much so-called goodness, it must not be so wise.

But he knew early on that Qian Yingming's article was suspected of rebellion.

Knowing that the examination papers could not be presented to Qianlong, he used this as bait to lure Qian Yingming to compromise, which was certainly one of his strategies.

But this matter is not righteous...... He Shenda could have threatened Qian Yingming from the beginning to do what he wanted, and even punished him.

But he didn't.

He chose a way that was quite fair to Qian Yingming to close the case.

It also helped him to regain his eligibility to continue to participate in the imperial examinations.

Although it is not deliberately helping, it is undoubtedly very kind under the overall situation.

Feng Jiwen couldn't help but look at the people around her twice.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say.

In short, she thinks...... He is not a cold-blooded person who only has his own interests and future in mind.

At least not yet.

"The lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites came here today, does the lady know what is going on?" He Shen asked casually, not taking it too seriously.

"I was about to tell you this. Feng Jiwen came back to her senses and explained the situation in detail with her.

At the same time, he couldn't help but quietly pay attention to He Shen's reaction when he talked about the two small half-boxes of gold.

Ahem, it seems a little obscene.

Although He Shen was a little surprised, he didn't show any other expression.

For example, when you see money, your eyes are open, and your eyes are shining......

Feng Jiwen suddenly felt that she had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

The person in front of him is young, pretending to be full of ambition, and he must not have the time to think about accumulating wealth.

"Madame is right. He Shen said with a serious face: "Although the situation at home is not good now, you should not accept other people's property-"

Feng Jiwen nodded with some emotion.

I heard him add again: "Especially this time, I have been rewarded so generously by the emperor, and I am exceptionally promoted, I don't know how many people are secretly staring." Even if you want to collect it, you can't collect it at this time. ”

Feng Jiwen: "......"

Didn't you just say that you should not accept other people's property?

How did it become a ...... in the blink of an eye? Even if you want to collect it, can't you collect it at this time?

Does it mean that you can collect it at another time?

Looking at his rarely seen serious side face, Feng Jiwen felt that her three views were a little messy.

You really can't speculate about him with such an ordinary brain circuit as hers.

She always felt that He Shen had always had his own set of principles for dealing with people, and there was no way to try to define him on ordinary merits.

So Feng Jiwen simply gave up the definition.

But each of them has his own way of living.

She knew exactly how she was going to live.

"But no matter what, this matter is a big deal, and I really shouldn't have taken the idea of refusing to do so without my master's knowledge. That's the point of what she's talking about.

"Madame has done nothing wrong. He Shen's serious expression disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Madame's meaning is what I mean, why did you say it without permission?"

Feng Jiwen smiled bitterly, just thinking that he was deliberately giving himself face.

was about to speak again, but he heard him say: "Although the family is in ruins, it is also Mrs. As long as my wife is willing to stand by my side one day, this family will be ruled by my wife one day. ”

The tone was unprecedentedly serious.

Feng Jiwen looked at him a little apprehensively.

I saw a shallow smile between his eyebrows, "Not to mention that Madame is not at all wrong today, even if she really did something wrong, Madam doesn't need to say 'shouldn't' to me." In this family, there has never been something that a lady 'shouldn't ask'. ”

Feng Jiwen Hao Ran smiled, "But there was an agreement before, not to interfere in the affairs of the master." ”

"If it's at home, it's a family affair. Where is my business. He Shen also smiled and said: "Besides, since I married my wife, I promised my father-in-law that I would protect and love my wife in this life. ”

It's just that now, he is far more than just fulfilling his promise.

And listening to him talk about the promise he made to his grandfather, Feng Jiwen couldn't say more.

It's just that I have my own measure in my heart.

He has his promise to keep, and he respects her so much, she can't interfere too much because of this, and lose the principle of being a man.

He Shen didn't know what she was thinking, so she only snapped her wishful thinking.

He has been touching his wife's temperament for a long time, and he knows that she has the habit of doing things or not doing them, and doing them with all her heart-

Well...... This is the purpose of his recent love to send big and small things at home to Feng Jiwen and let her make decisions either actively or passively.

cough, this kind of thing, it's a routine to talk about it too much, so I still don't talk about it.

But what to do, of course, still has to be done.

"That's right. Feng Jiwen, who didn't know that she was already in the pit, suddenly asked: "Today, Lord Wu went back to Chunyuan to look for me, but is there something?"

That sounds normal.

But He Shen knew that this was actually asking - should you say something about what you heard about the corner today?

"It doesn't matter. He Shen said very consciously: "I happened to listen to a few words of conversation between Madame and Ziyun Gege, and I ask Madame to forgive me." ”

He's open.

"Listening to people in the corner is not my usual style. ”

He Shen hurriedly shook his head.

"Madame, this is wrong, I have never been a fair and upright gentleman. ”

He was serious.

I couldn't help but think of the joy I felt when I heard the word 'no' from her mouth.

It's really a delight.

Ziyun Gege asked her if she didn't like him.

She replied: Not really.

How happy he was on the way back, only he knew.

I just felt that everything in front of me suddenly became extraordinarily bright.

This is the first time he has tried this feeling.

He didn't care if she was in a hurry or not.

It doesn't matter if she's prevaricating or not.

He only believed what his ears heard, anyway.

Thinking about it like this, the eyes of adults, who are very good at self-deception, can't help but smile again.

Feng Jiwen glanced at him, and as soon as he heard that he had brought this matter to him because he was not a righteous gentleman, he thought that he really didn't take the content of her conversation with Ziyun to heart, so he was completely relieved.

In any case, she is now married to a wife, and it is not right to talk about her past with Fukangan.

In this way, they reluctantly cancel each other out the fact that he listened to the corner.

So he said, "What the master said is not wrong. ”

is not a fair and upright gentleman.

He Shen smiled ashamedly, and while he was in a good mood, he said slowly with a smile: "I heard that a kind of perfume called flower water produced in the West has been very popular in Beijing recently, which is very different from the rose water handed down from the Song Dynasty, and its fragrance is particularly special, which is most suitable for use after summer, strong but not strong, and can also add a cool feeling." ”

Feng Jiwen couldn't react for a while.

Listening to the topic in the corner, why did she suddenly give her Amway?

This is really a real advertisement if you don't agree with each other.

So I bought a bottle for my wife and came back. ”

Well?

It's not an advertisement, it's a gift?

====

PS: And the first serious gift for adults - toilet water.

Hahaha~

Visually, the gift of the modern paper to the sister is simply a capitalized #Don't know don't be hard#,And #You're neurotic, stay away from me#

Of course, it's actually very practical to send flower water in the summer, and I'm happy if someone gives it to me.

#能不能有点追求啊喂#

I'm not 10, and today, I bring salt to the toilet water. (To be continued.) )
