Zhou Qichen was basically full of people he knew on this boat, and suddenly there was such a person he had never seen before, dressed as a man, but he opened his mouth but was a daughter's voice, and said that he was Xu Tong's family, which was probably the Mrs. Xu mentioned by his sister.

He remembered that the shopkeeper Liu said that he asked him to bring someone, saying that it was the lady who provided the recipes for Xianlai Pavilion, Zhou Qichen agreed as soon as he heard this, he hadn't seen anyone on the boat these days, and he was about to forget about it, "But shopkeeper Liu introduced it?" ”

"Exactly." Tong Xue saluted respectfully, "This journey, thank you for your help." ”

Tong Xue was still entangled in her heart, whether to pay the ship fare, but looking at this person, she was afraid that it was not appropriate for her to seriously discuss the issue of the ship fare with this person.

Zhou Qichen looked at Tong Xue with a smile, waved his hand, and said that he didn't care, "It's a good effort, and the dishes you cook are very good, and my surname is Zhou." ”

Tong Xue was stunned, and immediately understood that Shopkeeper Liu gave her recipes to this son, "It's all home-cooked dishes that are difficult to wait for, thank you Gongzi Zhou for your praise." ”

"Mrs. Xu is modest, and the snacks made by Mrs. Xu are still in my sister's mind." If you don't say anything else, just talk about the spicy dish, it's very unusual, and you won't say anything about it regardless of Zhou Qichen.

Tong Xue was really stunned this time, the younger sister of the owner of the shopkeeper Liu? Have you ever eaten her snacks? She only sold dim sum a few times in total, and later found out that lo-mei was more profitable, so she stopped making dim sum, could it be that this Zhou Gongzi's sister was the arrogant lady who came to the house last year, "Your sister is?" ”

Zhou Qichen looked at Tong Xue with a blank look on her face and explained, "My sister went to Qingshan Village last year and bought a lot of snacks made by Mrs. Xu. It is said that the taste is novel, bringing us to taste, but unfortunately the road is far away, and when we get home, we have lost the original flavor of dim sum, I don't know if Mrs. Xu will open a dim sum shop? ”

Sure enough, it was. Tong Xue said in her heart, sure enough, Diao Nu doesn't necessarily have an evil master. This Zhou Gongzi looks quite gentle. Tong Xue said, "I remember, I came here to find my father-in-law. I don't have this plan for the time being, if it really opens, when Miss Zhou comes, I will give her a 20% discount. ”

Zhou Qichen also heard about Tong Xue's purpose for coming to the capital from Shopkeeper Liu. I don't say much on this topic, but I say it very sincerely. "Mrs. Xu, why don't I send someone to take you to the place you are going."

Tong Xue naturally rejected the owner's kindness, "I've already come here, I'll just go by myself." Don't bother with it. ”

She always felt that this person's attitude towards her was a little too gentle, which made people feel unreal. If you can make your business so big, you must be a scheming person. A shopkeeper Liu, she thinks it refers to a fox, not to mention that this person is still the owner of the shopkeeper Liu, so it is safer to stay away.

Tong Xue found a courtyard according to the address Xu Wenda gave her, and it was estimated that it was not very big from the outside, but Xu Wenda lived alone, and it was extremely spacious, but Xu Wenda was not at home at this time, and the door was locked.

Tong Xue could only stand at the door, staring at the corner of the road at the door, watching when Xu Wenda would come back to rescue her.

Just when Tong Xue felt that her neck was about to stretch, a woman saw Tong Xue and ran over enthusiastically and asked, "This son, you are looking for Xu Xianggong, he should go to the Yamen, Xu Xianggong is now an official, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come back." ”

Tong Xue was surprised in her heart, and her voice and tone of voice naturally did not control it, "Sealed official? I didn't hear him talk about it. ”

Hearing Tong Xue's voice, the woman glanced at Tong Xue carefully, and the enthusiasm just now immediately disappeared, and she was replaced with a disgusted look, "You...... You...... Are you a daughter? It is really shameless for her daughter's family to dress up like this and come to Xu Xianggong. ”

The woman's eyes swept over Tong Xue, probably because she felt that Tong Xue was still young, and she did such an outrageous thing, because she was confused for a while, after all, Xu Xianggong's skin was still very good, so after disgusting, she said seriously, "This girl, I see that you are young, and there are more opportunities to meet young talents, I advise you to find another good match, Xu Xianggong's family already has a lady." ”

Tong Xue couldn't laugh or cry, "This aunt, I am his wife, I came to find my father-in-law, he is not at home at the moment, so he is standing here waiting for him." ”

The woman looked at Tong Xue's appearance, she was dressed as a man, and she also made herself very heroic, completely covering the softness of her daughter's family, and with the addition of wind and dust, it looked really bad, and it was not as good as Xu Wenda's scenery and moonlight every day, the woman naturally didn't believe it, "You are Xu Xianggong's wife?" ”

Tong Xue nodded earnestly, "Yes." ”

The woman's eyes changed when she looked at Tong Xue, and when she heard Tong Xue's affirmative answer, the disgust that had just been driven away just now came back again, "Hmph, lie, you are also Xu Xianggong's wife?" ”

Tong Xue keenly caught the point of the woman's entire sentence, "Also? ”

It doesn't sound good, could it be that Xu Wenda really took advantage of the fact that he was alone in the capital and he was not around, so he got another lady out?

If this was really the case, Tong Xue felt that when she saw Xu Wenda, she would really not be able to control her own power and cut off his third leg.

However, the top priority is to figure out the situation, Tong Xue asked curiously, "Isn't there anyone else?" ”

When the lady looked at Tong Xue's appearance, she said the chattering and vinegaring scene she saw a few days ago, "Just some time ago, there was a very good woman, who also said that it was Xu Xianggong's wife, who was driven away by Xu Xianggong. ”

It sounds like Tong Yu in terms of time and appearance, how can he look so much like Tong Yu?

Tong Xue felt that she probably knew why Xu Wenda was in a hurry to write a letter to let her come.

Just when Tong Xue wanted to ask some questions, Xu Wenda stood behind Tong Xue, even though Tong Xue was wearing men's clothes that were not suitable for her, combing men's buns, and still facing away from him, but Xu Wenda could see at a glance that this person was his wife, and Tong Xue was here.

Xu Wenda stepped forward, with a brisk tone in his voice. "Madame, you're here."

Xu Wenda didn't know how long Tong Xue had been standing at the door, and was a little distressed, "Why don't you bring a letter first, if I can know in advance, Mrs. won't have to wait longer." ”

Seeing Xu Wenda, Tong Xue naturally stopped talking to the woman. After saying goodbye. followed Xu Wenda into the courtyard, leaving the woman with a stunned look, what did Xu Xianggong call this person just now. Madam? Could it be that this person is really Xu Xianggong's wife? Xu Xianggong's taste is a little unique, or the woman who looked beautiful a few days ago.

"I took a ride with the owner of Liu's shopkeeper, and the time was too tight to inform you in advance. So I just came over. Tong Xue simply explained her itinerary, "If I hadn't stood here for a while just now." I don't know when you'll have another girl. ”

Xu Wenda didn't expect Tong Xue to know about it on the first day he came, and pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, "Xue'er." Don't get me wrong, listen to me explain this matter. It really happened suddenly. ”

Tong Xue found a basin of water and drew a basin of water. Preparing to wash his face, he listened to the person who had been following behind him, "I didn't know that Tong Yu would suddenly come out of nowhere, I have been heartbroken about this matter for the past few days." ”

Tong Xue swept over with a sharp eye, and Xu Wenda immediately explained, "Don't think nonsense, I mean, someone in the court is holding on to this, saying that I am misbehaving and is impeaching me." ”

Xu Wenda felt that he was also wronged, he was completely sitting at home, and the disaster came from the sky, obviously he didn't do anything, and he almost became heinous.

Tong Xue listened to Xu Wenda's words, and her heart tightened, Xu Wenda just participated in the scientific examination this year, even if he was an official, he was also a petty official, which was not a good thing to attract impeachment before he could stand above the court.

When she was about to come, Tong Xue never expected that she thought it was just a trivial matter, but it involved the court, so it was no longer a trivial matter, so Tong Xue also became a little worried, "Does it matter?" ”

Xu Wenda didn't know if it was to relieve Tong Xue's heart, or if this was the case, his tone was calm, and he didn't seem to take the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty to heart, "It doesn't matter much." This kind of thing, in the end, depends on the emperor's conclusion, and I don't think the emperor wants to deal with me. ”

Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenda, "It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, you have only been in the court for a few days, and you dare to say such big words, the emperor's thoughts, that is what you can guess?" ”

"The emperor's thoughts, I'm afraid the entire court knows." The emperor's problem is that he is too eager, and his mind makes everyone in the court understand that the person he wants to weaken will naturally rebel against him, "It is also the emperor's actions that have been a little big in recent years, so some people can't sit still, so some people will take me under the knife." ”

Xu Wenda hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "A few days ago, I was glad that I was able to live in peace for a while, I am afraid that the waves and undercurrents will go towards Zhuang Yuanlang, but I didn't expect that I would gloat, and it was my turn to be unlucky." ”

Thinking that this matter was printed by Tong Yu, Tong Xue hated this person.

In the past, Tong Xue was tepid to the people of the Tong family, and she also felt that these people were not her family, besides, the Tong family married her to Xu Wenda, which was indeed much luckier for her than staying in the Tong family.

But the Tong family's appetite is too big, and they want too much, which has completely exceeded Tong Xue's bottom line, Tong Xue raised her head and looked at Xu Wenda very seriously, "Xianggong, you said that if I go to Shuntianfu to beat the drum and sue Tong Yu, can I sue him?" ”

Xu Wenda was about to speak, when he heard a familiar voice, "Brother Xu, I'm here to see you." ”

The person who came was none other than the emperor. Xu Wenda was about to make a big salute, when he saw the emperor come over with a look, and stopped moving.

The emperor came to see Xu Wenda before, they were all alone, and today he suddenly saw one more, so he naturally didn't want others to know his identity, so he warned Xu Wenda, but the first time he saw Xu Wenda, there were other people here, and he couldn't help but be curious, "Who is this?" ”

Xu Wenda immediately introduced, "The Humble Jing Tong clan just came from home today. ”

Xu Wenda then said to Tong Xue, "Madam, this is Yan Gongzi. ”

Tong Xue saw Xu Wenda's solemn attitude, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Yan Gongzi." ”

After the salute, Tong Xue realized that she was wearing men's clothes now, but what she was doing just now was a women's ceremony, and she couldn't bear to look at it when she thought about it, hoping that it would not affect Xu Wenda's impression in his eyes.

The emperor is a person who has seen all the winds and waves, although he felt that Tong Xue's salute was a little funny, but he still couldn't help laughing, and said very solemnly, "No need to be formal." ”

Xu Wenda obviously thought of this problem as well, and took Tong Xue away as soon as he spoke, "Madam, I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time, and it just so happens that Brother Yan is here today, so I just want Brother Yan to taste your craftsmanship." ”

Tong Xue waited for this sentence, and when she heard Xu Wenda say this, she immediately left, "Yes, I'll go and prepare." ”

Seeing Tong Xue leaving, Xu Wenda got up and gave the emperor a big salute, "Your Majesty, you are not in the palace at this time, what are you doing here in Weichen?" ”

The emperor wants to deal with government affairs in the palace, but the problem is that this government affairs are not his alone, and he sometimes has to look at the faces of the courtiers to make a decision, and he is depressed, so he naturally thinks of Xu Wenda, who should be more depressed, to relax here, "Thinking of that group of people jumping above the court, I get angry, this is not to see that you have been anxious recently, so I came to see you." ”

Xu Wenda smiled slightly, "The emperor has been bothered for a few days, Weichen's wife is here, the wife of the knotted hair, the impeachment of those wives who abandoned the chaff, will soon be like rootless duckweed, self-defeating." ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Xu Wenda, whose face was as calm as before, sitting opposite Xu Wenda, raising his eyebrows, "I ask you, have you ever been married to that Tong Yu?" ”

Xu Wenda reluctantly said "um".

The emperor smiled slightly, his tone full of schadenfreude, "In that case, do you still expect to understand in a short time?" Those ministers, they won't actively do things for the country and the people, but they are very good at this kind of thing. ”

Xu Wenda didn't speak this time, because he knew very well that what the emperor said was true, as long as he could find a little problem with this matter. They will all try their best to bring themselves down, only in this way can it be shown that the emperor's pro-government line has been strangled in the cradle before it has even begun.

They also played a role in killing chickens and monkeys against Xu Wenda, so that those who wanted to follow the emperor weighed and weighed to see if the person on the dragon chair could protect the minister he wanted to use.
