578. in the first place
The other few families did not have the tranquility of Prince An's mansion.
Since Zhang Ziyi returned home yesterday in a huff, and told his father Zhang Chong about what happened in the Xia family, Zhang Chong's heart was raised, not only did he almost scold his stupid son as a pig at the moment, but he was not allowed to go to the Xia family again, but his own heart has not been relaxed.
He felt that he was now a fat man who was targeted by Prince An, and he was afraid that it would not be so easy to reveal the matter.
Originally, his position as a waiter in the Ministry of Industry was not as powerful as Zhao Guangyao, who was a waiter, he was all about helping to do some errands, and helping the original Ministry of Industry Shangshu Xie Ningyuan to do a hand, but he was unwilling in his heart, so he did a few foolish things in the first few days, and was discovered by Xie Ningyuan at that time, and pressed down with all his might, which is also why he completely obeyed Xie Ningyuan, the Shangshu, and then began to work conscientiously under his hands.
But now Xie Ning Yuanzhishi, those things are only afraid of being turned over, think about it, even the old accounts of the household department have been turned upside down, and the bad debts that have been deposited for many years in the Ministry of Industry will not be turned over under the sky?
He felt trembling when he thought about it, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, although Xie Ningyuan said that he pressed it down, but in the end it was a little late, so he had to cover up the past, but it was not completely resolved, because the involvement was too great, unless it was the emperor who could have so much right to settle the matter, now even Qin Bohou can be corrected by the emperor, he is just a small waiter, and the emperor has always been tepid to him, I am afraid that as soon as something happens, their Zhang family will also follow in the footsteps of Qin Bohou.
When he was in a hurry, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the casual face of the fourth prince Chu Shaohan flashed.
The fourth prince is now learning to deal with government affairs with Liang Xingyong, the secretary of the household department, and most of his affairs are also related to the household department, as long as the household department lets go, he begs Chu Shaoyuan again, it must not be so difficult.
This thought turned in his mind, and he was full of excitement, and immediately denied his thought.
is how the fourth prince and the third prince are brothers, whether they are a mother or not, in the end, there are many years apart, and even if both of them grow up in the palace, they may not be able to be brothers, friends and brothers, and Chu Shaoyuan is a lifeless person, he has come all the way, he doesn't care about his own body, will he care so much about the people next to him?
Even if Zhang Chong is an inconspicuous waiter, he understands this truth.
After meditating for a whole rainy night, in the faint light of the sky, he slowly raised his sleepless eyes that had been slightly bloodshot, looked at the scattered maple leaves in the courtyard outside the window, and gradually, gradually made a decision.
Since he wants to take refuge, then he will take refuge in one of the most powerful arms, whether he succeeds or loses only depends on this game, even if he is a gambler, it is just his life, it is better than the whole family to suffer with him.
After figuring out this section, he called the little servant to come in to fetch water and wash up with red eyes, and went to the Xia Mansion without looking back in the daylight when the sky was gradually brightening.
……
And the prince of Zhenguo came out of the summer mansion, but he took a horsewhip and whipped the little guy who came forward.
The little guy covered the blood that had been drawn out of his face, and quickly lowered his head, he just asked with a lot of mouths, "Do you want to go back to the house?" and was used as a punching bag by the prince, he was really kicked in the head by the donkey before he dared to step forward when the prince was angry.
Chu Shaoxiu, the prince of Zhenguo, saw the appearance of the little guy, and he was even more angry, but in addition to whipping the subordinates, he couldn't help others, so he had to glare at the little guy viciously and scolded: "Useless things! Don't hurry up and get out of the master!"
The little guy didn't dare to stay where he was any longer, so he quickly turned around and rolled out according to Chu Shaoxiu's words.
Chu Shaoxiu looked up at the gate of the Xia family hatefully, his eyes were violent and wanton, and his father still wanted to please Prince An, thinking of making a face for his foreign family, but now he looked at it, but there was no need for this, and people didn't care at all.
On the contrary, they lowered their heads into the dust and sent them to others to step on, and they were still disgusted.
is the same clan, this kind of humiliation has always been for them to humiliate others, where is the turn of others to humiliate them!
Chu Shaoxiu immediately turned over and got on his horse, rode through the downtown area, went directly back to the mansion, and went straight to the study of Zhenguo Gong, he didn't care whether he overturned the stall of the small vendor, or shocked the passers-by on the street, in his eyes, these are just lowly people, just a cheap life, lame and lame, dead and dead, where does it matter so much.
As soon as he entered the study, he vomited bitterness at Zhen Guogong, and kept adding fuel and vinegar to this matter, he must Zhen Guogong dispel the idea of currying favor with Chu Shaoyuan, he thought that even if he re-took refuge in a prince, it would be much stronger than taking refuge in Chu Shaoyuan.
Zhen Guogong frowned and listened to his son's complaints, and then raised his eyes to look at his son.
"Do you think the Fourth Prince is more reliable?"
If you ask, you don't answer what you ask.
Chu Shaoxiu was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "My son is just pretending to look at this third prince, but he has a good calculation and comes up with such an idea of holding one end and pressing the other, and it is no one else who is holding one end and pressing the other, it is the Fuguo Mansion that has never dealt with us, and the end of the pressure is naturally our family, which is really hateful!"
"The father was not there, he didn't see the scene at that time, the son was so pressed by that Chu Shaolun that he couldn't say a word, Chu Shaolun said that he was a relative, I wanted to spit on his shameless face at that time!
"I don't know how many lifetimes of relatives I have, but I just leaned in, my son has lived so big, I really haven't seen such a brazen person who has to be someone to welcome his father, but the uncle of the third prince and the uncle of the foreign family also agreed, father, tell me, if the son can't see the cat in it, isn't the son a fool!"
Zhenguo Gong Chu Yunyi frowned, looked at his son, he didn't expect things to take such a turn, he prepared all the gifts, prepared several cars, just waited for his son to come back from the news, turned around and went to Prince An's mansion to visit, but he didn't expect such an accident, he was originally like others, thinking that Chu Shaoyuan might not go to the Xia family's uncle today's makeup, at most he would show his face tomorrow, but things were so unexpected.
He couldn't help but be surprised, but ......
Chu Yunyi looked sideways at his son and said in a low voice, "Why do you have to join the Ministry of Industry when you are a father?"
Chu Shaoxiu pursed his lips and thought about it, and said: "Because the Ministry of Industry has the most oil and water, although our family is a clan, but the family relies on my father's income to live, and it is already a little difficult to make ends meet, and it is the same if I want to come to the Fuguo Mansion, but their family is not as good as our family, and the son married the daughter of the Liang family because Liang Xingyong is a scholar in the household department, so that it is convenient for his son to enter the household, but I didn't expect that Liang Xingyong was a bad person, not only did not pull his son to the household department, but was reprimanded by the emperor. ”
Chu Yunyi laughed, but slowly shook his head: "You only know one but don't know the other, yes, the Ministry of Industry is indeed the most oily and watery yamen in our six Yamen of Dayan, and it can't even compare to the household department, but in the end, we are a clan, and we can't collect money to understand it so clearly, after entering the Ministry of Industry, with the errand of the Ministry of Industry, we have traveled all over the country, and we have met a suitable shop or field, we can all take it back at a low price. This is not the most important thing, but the important thing is the connections of the Ministry of Industry, as well as some of the cases that the Ministry of Industry has backlogged before......"
As he spoke, he suddenly lost his voice, for he suddenly thought of some past events that could not be told to his son plainly.
No, not only can't you tell your son, but these old things can't be mentioned openly, at least during the reign of Emperor Wen.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Chu Yunyi's face, and his eyes deepened.
He will not forget who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry more than ten years ago.
At that time, Mo said that it was the current emperor, even Emperor Wuzong could not interfere in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry at that time was like a silver mountain with white flowers, but whoever went in would always be rich.
Later, it was really because there were too many officials involved in the Ministry of Industry that Emperor Wuzong had to open his eyes and close his eyes to push Lin Baixuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, out to be a scapegoat and executed.
At that time, all officials, big and small, were corrupt and corrupt.
Because the one in charge of the Ministry of Industry is the famous King of Thailand!
And since he wanted to convince people, he naturally wanted to give some benefits to the people under his command, so where did these benefits come from? Naturally, they came from the Ministry of Industry, and those water conservancy works became a livelihood for collecting money.
He was still young at the time, and his eyes were very red, but he squeezed his head and failed to enter the eyes of the King of Thailand, and although the kid of Chu Yunjue, the Duke of Fuguo, was in the eyes of the King of Thailand, he was too timid to dare to enter the Ministry of Industry, but was thrown into the Ministry by the King of Thailand.
At that time, it was Zhang Laoshangshu who was in charge of the household department, and the household department was a serious Qingshui Yamen, but all the military rations and silver that passed had to be verified by several officials together.
It wasn't until later that Zhang Laoshang wrote to the office and promoted Liang Xingyong, that he jumped out of the position of political envoy and became a court official, in charge of a yamen.
And today's Emperor Wen, at that time, was the most unlucky, not only the most useless among the princes, but also the position was just to guard the Ministry of Rites, to take care of the matter of sacrificing to the sky, or the etiquette of the princess and the princess's marriage, obviously he was a concubine, but it was worse than his concubine, and Emperor Wen at that time was depressed.
Later, Emperor Wen was reused because of a case in the Criminal Department, and the reason was simple, because the case of the Criminal Department at that time involved his side concubine Yan.
Yes, the Yan family, who is now posthumously named Concubine Chen, was just a small side concubine back then, and the things of the year have become more and more blurred in people's memories because of the age, but Yan's beautiful face has always made him unforgettable, not that he has any other thoughts about Yan, just looking at that beautiful face, it is enough to make people sink, not to mention that Yan is still so smart.
The case of the Criminal Department was obviously aimed at Concubine Yan, not only did the witnesses and evidence point to Concubine Yan's murder, but also threw the case to the King of Thailand, the King of Thailand had an attempt on Concubine Yan back then, but he was slapped in the face by Concubine Yan and married King Rui, who was inferior to him everywhere, yes, before Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he was named King Rui by Emperor Wuzong, and the mansion was very far away from the imperial city.
Emperor Wuzong's dislike for Emperor Wen is so obvious, and it is no wonder that some important ministers in the court dare not get too close to him, and the princes who are good friends with the King of Thailand are even more discouraged by him everywhere, Emperor Wuzong clearly knows all this, but he is silent.
The case was originally intended to bring Concubine Yan to justice, but it was easily resolved by Concubine Yan, but the King of Thailand, who was in charge of this case at that time, was able to save face, suppress the case, and blindly want to treat Concubine Yan's crimes.
At this time, it also triggered the case of the King of Thailand collecting money in the Ministry of Industry, and some people even faintly pointed the finger at Emperor Wuzong, saying that he was too partial.
Although Emperor Wuzong is an iron-blooded emperor, he still has to take care of some public opinion, so he had to summon the king of Thailand into the palace to reprimand, and put King Rui in the criminal department, giving him real power, and then suppressed this matter.
Later, I learned that the case of the Criminal Department was planned by Concubine Yan behind her back, and she also used public opinion to expose all kinds of bad deeds of the King of Thailand, so that the King of Thailand gradually disliked Emperor Wuzong's heart, until finally, the matter of the Ministry of Industry was exposed, and Emperor Wuzong was very disappointed in the King of Thailand.
The King of Thailand took a desperate step and was captured by Emperor Wen in one fell swoop, and then Qin Bohou shot the King of Thailand, a rebellious minister and thief, with an arrow.
From now on, the world will be determined.
Chu Yunyi suddenly felt that he was thinking a little far, and seeing his son staring at him with a stoic face and waiting for him to continue, he coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, you have your own ideas for your father." ”
Chu Shaoxiu's eyebrows furrowed, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't want to pull down his face to step on again, and wanted to persuade a few more words.
I heard Chu Yunyi mutter: "The current situation is really similar to back then, my father missed it once back then, and I can't miss it again this time!"
……
It rained all night, and the autumn rain was very cool, and the next one was less, and the weather became colder and colder.
When Chanyi opened her eyes in the morning, she felt that the air was full of damp moisture, and it seemed that even the arm that stretched out the quilt could feel the coolness, she rubbed her arm, sat up and touched the clothes hanging aside, and felt that the clothes around her were also damp, cold and damp made people feel very uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but shrink into the quilt again, until she touched the warm body behind her, and she felt that the coolness just now had dissipated a little.
Chu Shaoyuan leaned forward, stretched out his arms, hooked her waist, leaned over and kissed her neck lightly, his voice was soft, and he was clearly in a state of being about to wake up, he was a little confused, and there was a slight lazy hoarseness in the confusion: "...... What time is it?"
Chan Yi turned sideways, and simply shrunk into his arms, while looking at the sky outside that was about to reveal the white belly of the fish, he covered his mouth and yawned delicately, a little lazy: "It's about time to move forward, it rained all night yesterday, and in the middle of the night I heard the sound of the rain beating the eaves quite loudly, as if someone was knocking on the gong in his ear. ”
Because she has always slept lightly, and she has taken care of him these days, she is even more awake in her heart, and it is easy to wake up at the slightest movement.
Chu Shaoyuan rubbed on her shoulder socket, the tip of his nose was slightly cold, and after saying two words, he seemed to hook his spirit back a little, and asked her in a dumb voice, "Do you still have to get up early today?"
Chanyi took pity on his injury, turned around and patted his back, and coaxed him softly: "You are not in good health, if you still feel sleepy, just sleep for a while, it's still early, big brother, even if he welcomes his relatives, it will take another two hours, take advantage of the time you can sleep now, and you will be busy today, especially if your body has not recovered now, don't be like yesterday, you will be tired and fall asleep as soon as the banquet is over." ”
Yes, today is the day of Xia Mingchen and Xie Feiyun, as a sister and brother-in-law, naturally they can't be absent from such an important day, and Chu Shaoyuan appeared in Xia Mansion so flamboyantly yesterday, and today he will not be absent for no reason.
It's just that Chanyi feels sorry for his body and always hopes that he can rest more.
Chu Shaoyuan lowered his head slightly, and then pressed against the top of her hair, the jet-black hair was scattered on the red carved silk pillow scarf embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, the two extreme colors were more red and black, a shocking beauty.
He chuckled lightly and rubbed her hair, "Wanwan treats me as a person made of paper, where my body is so thin, it is all some trauma, and it is almost healed." ”
He reached out and grabbed her hand in the palm of his hand, led her to touch him, and when it landed on the scabbed wound on his waist and abdomen, he obviously felt the little hand in his palm tremble, and quickly patted it a few times.
Soothed her: "Look, aren't they all scabbed and almost healed, it's just itchy, help me scratch it a few times in the evening." ”
He whispered in his ear, saying that he was so itchy that he couldn't stand it, but he made Chanyi's face white and red, red and white, and he just wanted to scold him for being shameless, thinking that she really couldn't hear his pun?
But he married a shameless person like him, and since he couldn't change anything, he had to be shameless with him.
She carefully avoided the scabbed wound, and put the force very lightly, only scratching the skin around him a few times, "I feel itchy because the wound is recovering little by little, you can bear with it, and when the scab falls, I will ask someone to buy clotting cream for you, so that there will be no scars in the future." ”
Since the last time in the bathroom, Chanyi helped him scrub his body, seeing his injuries, he couldn't help but scold him, he always said, "In the future, this injury will definitely leave an ugly scar, and I won't like it later", which made her cry and laugh, so she had to comfort him softly, and repeatedly promised that he would never dislike it, so he coaxed him to stop chattering.
Now that she heard him mention the injury again, she remindedly coaxed him with the previous set of statements.
Chu Shaoyuan curled his lips and smiled, every move she made in the past few days, raising her eyes and lowering her eyes, made him feel very heartwarming, because she was simply coaxing him with a child's tone all the time, and he even felt that it was worth it for him to be injured once, and nodded with satisfaction at the moment.
simply teased her more childishly: "I still know more about Wanwan, I just itch, so I want to scratch it a few times, but Wanwan knows that this is a sign that the wound is about to recover." ”
Hearing him say this, Chanyi helplessly wanted to say, she was almost going to be stupidly crying by his three-year-old childlike tone, usually looking at a good person, but when she came to her, she was stupid, not like an adult, but more childish than a three-year-old child.
She said that she couldn't speak, scolded or scolded, let alone beaten, and she was reluctant to do this, so she had to sigh in her heart and pat him on the back a few times with her backhand.
sighed lightly: "Good, don't make trouble, sleep for a while, I'll call you when the time comes." ”
Chu Shaoyuan nodded, hugged her a little tighter, gently rubbed her scattered hair, and smiled sweetly: "Let's sleep a little more tonight, as a husband's family, you will also be busy today, while it is still early, hurry up and squint for a while." ”
In the end, the two of them didn't know who coaxed whom to sleep.
In short, the husband and wife pressed their hands again, head to head, hugged each other, and continued to sleep.
Until Jinping softly called outside the curtain: "Princess, it's already three quarters of the hour, and I'm not afraid that I will miss the hour." ”
Chanyi opened her eyes from Hei Tianxiang again, and when she saw that it was already bright outside the window, she quickly sat up and reached out to take the clothes on the hanger to wear.
While wearing it, I didn't forget to look sideways at Chu Shaoyuan.
I saw Chu Shaoyuan looking at her with his eyes open, his eyes as beautiful and deep as amber were half-hidden under the bed, faintly glowing with some color, which was even more dazzling than her favorite ruby.
Chu Shaoyuan saw that she turned her head to look at herself, her eyebrows and eyes were full of soft color, and he couldn't help but bend his eyebrows and smile softly, and stretched out his hand to touch her slightly pale cheeks in the past few days, "Wanwan has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and it's all my fault." ”
Chanyi leaned down, held his apologetic cheek, and gently imprinted a kiss on his forehead, "Say stupid things again, you are sick, if I can still dream well every day, it will be too ruthless, if you really feel sorry for me, get better quickly, huh?"
Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but smile and bend his eyebrows, pulled down her head, and gave her a solid kiss before responding: "Okay." ”
The two men got up and dressed, washed and dressed, and after they had finished dressing up, it was almost the hour of the end of the hour.
Because she was going to Xia's house for breakfast in the morning, Chanyi didn't prepare breakfast last night, but just sorted out Chu Shaoyuan's clothes, and asked Zhang Quanshun to bring two more sets of clothes and two cloaks in case of emergency.
Only then did he take Chu Shaoyuan's hand out of Prince An's mansion and went straight to Xia's house.
