Chapter 174: Difficult Brothers

Of course, it was impossible for Mrs. Ruthless to tell him the real reason why her grandfather refused to marry Yang Xu, but she also clearly revealed to him the meaning of the Peng family: "The daughter of the Peng family will never marry him." The Peng family didn't want to think about him at all, even if he and Peng Ziqi already had a husband and wife, Xia Xun felt that the situation was serious.

Fortunately, there is a heartless master as a microphone, and he knows that Ziqi has not been abused in the Peng family, and he eats and drinks well, except for the loss of freedom. Xia Xun asked the ruthless master to give a message to Ziqi, asking her to wait with peace of mind, no matter what, she must find a way to solve the resistance from the Peng family and take her over.

The ruthless master knows the real reason, because of Xia Xun's status as a brocade guard, even she doesn't dare to encourage her niece to be with Xia Xun anymore, one is not careful, this is a big matter related to the Peng family. She sighed wistfully, finally nodded, and turned to leave.

Xia Xun was so depressed by her pitiful and sympathetic gaze, he couldn't figure it out, if Na Ziqi was a concubine, the Peng family would resolutely refuse to agree for the sake of face, or there would be extenuating circumstances, he had clearly stated that he would marry her, why did the Peng family refuse to agree? Is it because of the fame of his predecessor Yang Xu in Qingzhou?

If that's the case, you can't do it. Marrying is a lifelong thing, hooking up with the mother and daughter of the Sun family, this is a very shameless character, whose parents are willing to marry their daughters to such a man. Even though the two have the reality of husband and wife, although the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is strict, the government also advocates observance, after all, it belongs to the minority from the beginning, otherwise why should the government vigorously advocate it?

In "Three Words and Two Beats" written by Na Mingren, Jiang Xingge's daughter-in-law San Qiao'er was divorced for stealing people, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to hang herself, how did her mother persuade her? Just say, "You're so short-sighted!" People in their twenties, a flower has not yet bloomed, how can they do this unfinished thing? Don't say that your husband still has a change of heart, so he is really resting, with a good appearance, afraid that someone will want you? Don't choose a good marriage, and use it in the second half of your life. You can live with peace of mind, and rest and be depressed. ”

It can be known that the Ming people commended and advocated the martyrdom of women, but the people were quite tolerant of remarriage. Although Peng Ziqi has already married him, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Peng family, even if the daughter loses her virginity, she must lower the conditions to choose a son-in-law, and it is better to find her a husband than to marry Yang Xu, but this notoriety is something he can't justify.

Xia Xun only said that the crux of the Peng family's resolute refusal to allow marriage was this, and he meditated hard but had no good solution. After two days of recuperation, the bruises on his face did not subside, and he was able to move without hindrance, so Xia Xun went to Pengjiazhuang again, wanting to explore the wind again.

When the Peng brothers heard that he was coming, they immediately rushed out, Xia Xun would not be stupid and wait to be beaten this time, so he immediately got on his horse and galloped and fled back to the city. Seeing that there were those stupid and coarse flower messengers of the Peng family, he couldn't even see the face of the Peng family, so it was not a way to go on like this, Xia Xun wanted to find the ruthless master, maybe through her, he could bypass the Peng family brothers and talk directly to the old Peng owner.

But the last time the ruthless master came, she didn't say where she was a monk, Xia Xun had to go to Qingzhou Mansion again, at that time, the monks had relevant departments to manage, and the spy was not sent casually. Xia Xun arrived at the prefect's yamen and found out the address of the ruthless master, so he had to drink tea and chat with Zhao Tuiguan and other deceased, as for the bruises on his face, he also casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

Finally, the answer was correct, and it was already late, and it was inconvenient to go out of the city to the nunnery at this time, so Xia Xun had to rush back to the post house. As soon as he arrived at the post house, a post man greeted him and said, "Lord Yang, there is an errand official from Jinan Mansion who has important business to wait for you for a long time." ”

Xia Xun was very surprised, and hurriedly rushed to the living room, and the man who was holding the herbal tea and drinking it without taking a sip saw him come in, and quickly put down the teacup and stood up, saluting him.

Xia Xun looked at this person, but he was an errand officer of a metropolitan procuratorate who followed them all the way from Ying Tianfu, and he often followed Lord Huang to listen to the call, thinking that he was not a confidant but also a very close person, and vaguely remembered that he was surnamed Mu.

As soon as this person reported his identity, it was indeed surnamed Mu: "Humble Mu Zifeng, see Interview with the Envoy." Hey? It's ...... on the face of the adult."

Xia Xun said: "Oh, accidentally...... Bumped. Get up, you are in a hurry from Jinan, what's the matter? ”

Mu Zifeng said: "Shandong sentenced according to the prosecutor's report, captured a large number of White Lotus bandits, the head of the sect Niu Buye is still wanted, the patrol envoy and the interview envoy came to Shandong, the main responsibility is to supervise the arrest of bandits, therefore, according to the procurator Cao asked the interview to make the adult return to Jinan immediately, and the trial and arrest. ”

Xia Xun frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Patrol Imperial Envoy Lord Huang, isn't he in Jinan?" ”

Mu Zifeng looked a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Lord Huang...... Sick ......"

"Sick?"

Xia Xun said in surprise: "When I left Jinan, Lord Huang was fine, but it was only a few days of work, why did he get sick?" ”

Mu Zifeng squeaked and said, "Lord Huang, he ...... He was old, in poor health, and had a hard time, so he ...... Occasional wind chill ......"

Xia Xun saw that he looked flustered, and his heart was full of suspicions, so he immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Nonsense, what kind of wind and cold is the weather in July and August?" Lord Huang patrols the hunt on behalf of the sky and has an important responsibility. If Lord Huang is sick, the official will have to take full responsibility for the Northern Tour, and he will naturally be responsible for the safety of Lord Huang. What do you have to hide, and if there is an incident, can you afford to bear it? ”

Huang Zhen is a wooden person, and he is not a proud figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he usually doesn't hold a few people to listen to him. This Mu Zifeng only saw that Lord Huang Zhen had become the main envoy of this trip, and he deliberately scolded him, thinking that the adult would eat meat and drink soup, and then make some benefits, how could there be any loyalty.

Seeing Xia Xun angry, Mu Zifeng couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and asked: "Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins, it's not that the villain deliberately conceals it, it's really ...... It's really ...... Lord Huang's illness is ......, and it is a little difficult to talk about it......"

When he said this, Xia Xun wanted to know more, so he said with a calm face: "There are only you and me here, and there is no one else, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Out of your mouth, into my ears, this official will not say what others know. ”

"Yes......"

Mu Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and said curtly: "Lord Huang, he ...... He...... Got rid of the ......"

Xia Xun didn't hear clearly, and said in amazement: "Stole the sheep? What do you do to steal sheep? Lord Huang dignified the imperial envoy, will he go to steal sheep? Ridiculous! ”

Mu Zifeng said with a bitter face: "My lord, it's not stealing sheep, it's ...... Be...... It's a ...... of deyang."

"Huh?" When Xia Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After being shocked for a while, Xia Xun said: "Ahem......, does anyone else know about this?" ”

Mu Zifeng's expression was strange, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh: "My lord, do you think, this is ...... Can you hide it? Merely...... People who know pretend not to know, anyway, no one just breaks it. ”

Xia Xun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I just said that the wind chill is the wind chill, that is, the wind chill, your mouth, don't ...... tight."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In Jinan Post House, Huang Zhenhuang Imperial Envoy's old face was yellow, and he was curled up on the bed with a sluggish appearance.

In July, it was already very hot, and the endless hissing of the big trees outside the window made people drowsy, and everyone else was wearing single clothes and sweating profusely, but the Huang Imperial Envoy was still covered with a thick quilt.

A post guard brought him medicine, Huang Yuen stretched out his mouth tremblingly, drank it with his hand, drank it one by one, and after drinking the medicine, he lay down on the pillow, half dead and poured his breath, the medicine juice was poured on his beard, and the Huang Yuen, who had always loved cleanliness, couldn't care about wiping it, and he really didn't have the strength to wipe it.

Imperial Envoy Huang has always been a poor Beijing official, and he has no outside fishing, so he has no money to spend, and he can only live by his humble wife. However, every time those colleagues go on tour, they will inevitably talk about where they have been, what courtesies they have received, and when their eyebrows are dancing, they will inevitably talk about where the girl is gentle and where the girl is hot.

Huang Yuenvoy is a master who has no quarrel with the world, although he wants to fight but can't fight, in short, it's harmless to others. So no one sees him as a competitor, and they don't suspect him, so they don't carry these words much behind him, and he can always hear some obscene anecdotes that make him think about it.

For example, when the Jinan officials entertained him this time, he deliberately praised the Xue Ruoran Xue girl who stepped on the painting ball, which was the ingenuity he learned from his colleagues, which was to tell the person who received him: "I have taken a fancy to her." The other party understands it, and he will naturally arrange it for him when he turns around.

This old man finally had the opportunity to go on a business trip, and when he was in Beijing, he specially bought a few pairs of tiger and wolf medicine, and he was looking forward to having a good time this trip. As a result, the first night, because Xia Xun was not in a mess, he drove away the coveted girl in purple, and the Huang Imperial Envoy had to take it seriously and send the Ruoran girl back. The next day, Xia Xun left Jinan, without Xia Xun by his side, Lord Huang was like a fish in water, and immediately asked someone to invite the Ruoran girl who had never really tasted the delicacy last night, and took another dose of medicine beforehand.

As a result, usually the pickles Luo Rots eat too much, and suddenly serve him a table of fresh seafood, this old brother eats Haisai, he can't stand it, at the critical moment, Huang Yuenvoy roared, and he couldn't stop it.

He was able to save his life, thanks to that Xue Ruoran Xue girl. Miss Xue hadn't seen this but had heard of it, and knew some life-saving methods, so in a hurry, she immediately pushed the old horse monkey away from herself, pushed him to the sky, and then pulled off the silver hairpin on his head, and stabbed him hard at his perineum.

Later, the pavilion hurriedly got a single ginseng soup for Huang Yuenvoy to pour down, and finally saved his old life. It's just that deyang is a fatal disease, although he was lucky enough to earn back his life, he was also seriously injured, and now he doesn't even have the strength to get up.

The post guard finished feeding Huang Zhen the medicine, and when he saw that he was about to die, he couldn't help but want to laugh, he secretly pursed his lips, and said in his heart: "The face is sanctimonious, the male thief and the female prostitute in the belly, the dead virtue, and the imperial envoy, look at the Yang interview envoy, that is the public loyalty to the country, and the diligent state affairs." ”

The postman took the bowl and lifted the beaded curtain and walked out, and met a person, holding his thigh with one hand, limping here, the postman looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be surprised, the lame man with a blue nose and swollen face in front of him, is it not the Yang interview envoy who was loyal to the country and hardworking in state affairs he just said? ! ~!
