Three days later, the Zhou family received a holy decree, the will is as follows, the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Lanxiu, has a valuable character, excellent schoolwork in the annual examination, and the emperor feels that he can be a big responsibility, so the official is promoted to the Wupin Donghang Salt and Iron Division, and he will take office within half a month, and he will attack Xie En tomorrow, and the emperor has something to explain.

Of course, there is no reward, but only a decree.

In this way, the Zhou family was very excited.

Especially Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, according to their original arrangement, they should have been the eldest son, why did they suddenly become the second son, remembering what the eldest daughter-in-law said three days ago, they were beaming, and they looked like the eldest son was about to be promoted, but why did the holy decree change.

And the He family, who was originally dressed in new clothes, and the boss Zhou Lanjing were immediately stupid, at a loss, and they had not yet come to their senses after the holy decree was read.

The old lady of Straight Zhou sent someone to reward the eunuch who announced the decree and sent the person away, and the two of them took the holy decree in a panic and looked at it.

There is no mistake in pronouncing it, the holy decree does say that it is the name of the second child.

The boss's face immediately sank, and He Shi shouted out in public: "How come, don't you talk about the master, why has it changed." ”

Old lady Zhou looked at the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who lost their minds, and when she saw the embarrassed look of her second son, she suddenly scolded angrily: "What do you mean that it has changed, did the prince say that he was the boss from the beginning?" ”

The eldest son, Zhou Lanjing, was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "The prince really didn't say it, but this matter is indeed what the son asked for in the past." ”

He Shi also thought of something and said: "Yes, the four girls also said three days ago, and the holy decree will arrive soon." ”

Old lady Zhou slowly asked the eldest daughter-in-law: "Did the four girls say that the holy decree was for the boss?" ”

He shook his head in a panic and said, "That's not true." But this matter was the master's begging for the prince from the beginning, so the daughter-in-law thought that the holy decree in the mouth of the four girls was the master's, but who would have thought that it was not. As he spoke, he glanced at the second master on the side sadly.

The second master did not explain. He just sat there quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Old lady Zhou groaned slightly, sighed and said: "I'm afraid this matter is not up to the prince, this salt and iron division is a fat shortage, the thoughts of the heavenly family are hard to guess, boss, everyone, don't be discouraged." Now that the four girls can ask for a good position for their family, they want to be able to get a better one for the boss in the near future. ”

When He heard this, he wailed in his heart. Okay, how many can there be, and can there be a position in the salt and iron division? A salt and iron division, even if the position of prime minister comes, it will not be changed. It's a pity that this position has a maximum term of three years. It must be replaced every three years.

Moreover, it is stipulated that only one member of the family can hold this position in one generation, which means that no one in the second generation of the Zhou family can hold it.

After arranging it, Mrs. Zhou said to her second son, "The second child will come to the study with me." ”

Zhou Lanxiu followed her father to the study, and the little girl retired after tea.

Old lady Zhou glanced at his immortal-like son, this son has been smart since he was a child, and he has learned people, but he is not pedantic, and he is currently the examiner of the Ministry of Rites. It has been three years since the full-time evaluation of the official positions in the term of office. He is very good and has won the hearts of the people.

Old Lady Zhou's face warmed, and she said gently: "Did you take action behind this matter?" ”

In fact, Mrs. Zhou also had doubts, after all, when he discussed with his eldest son at the beginning, it was the eldest son who went to find the prince, why did the holy decree fall on the second son.

Zhou Lanxiu did not hide it and said: "My son also knew about this matter three days ago. ”

Old lady Zhou was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Three days ago, the eldest sister-in-law took Sister Lan to the fourth niece, but when there was no one, the fourth niece told Sister Lan that the emperor had decided to let her son be the salt and iron division." Zhou Lanxiu changed her tone and said succinctly.

Old Lady Zhou frowned and asked, "Then why didn't you say it three days ago?" ”

Zhou Lanxiu looked at her father a little helplessly and said: "Father, do you think it's good for your son to say it at that time, so that the eldest brother will definitely misunderstand that his son has done something in the middle, such as letting Sister Lan be a lobbyist, after all, Sister Lan has a good relationship with the four nieces." ”

Old lady Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are very thoughtful, but you can sue Sù as your father first." ”

Zhou Lanxiu suddenly replied with some shame: "The son is also worried that his father will show some clues in front of the eldest brother, so the eldest brother is not even more sad, and the son is not like hurting the brother's harmony." ”

Old lady Zhou felt that what the second son said was very reasonable, nodded and said: "Indeed, if you said it in advance, I wouldn't be surprised today, you are right to do this." ”

After saying that, the father and son had a longing for this position, and then said: "Don't take the second daughter-in-law with you when you go to office, take that aunt with you." ”

Zhou Lanxiu nodded a little bitterly, this eighty percent is going to make trouble again, and I don't know how to explain it to my wife.

And here He and the boss returned to the courtyard, and the two sat in the hall for a long time without making a sound.

He Shi said with some resentment: "Xianggong, do you say that the four girls are making trouble?" ”

Zhou Lanjing was stunned and said: "It shouldn't be, this position is not trivial, she knows what a little girl knows." ”

He said with some resentment: "Before the four girls came out of the cabinet, I felt for a while that she robbed Sister Xi's marriage, so I also targeted her, did you say that she complained about us because of this matter, and then this position was originally the master's, and then she blew the pillow wind to the prince and changed it?" ”

Zhou Lanjing didn't know that his daughter-in-law had stumbled on the four girls, and said with some doubts: "You once targeted her?" ”

He nodded helplessly.

Zhou Lanjing didn't speak for a long time, just thought quietly, in fact, what He said was not unreasonable, this matter is very strange, why did it change all of a sudden.

The Ma family in the second room here almost jumped up happily after hearing the news, she had long been fed up with it in the house, if she went to office with the master, she would be alone in charge of a yard, alone with the master, she didn't believe that she couldn't conceive a brother?

Just when she was very happy, the little maid came with the news that the old man had asked the new aunt over there to pack up her things and leave seven days later.

Ma was angry and shocked. Running directly towards the place where my aunt lives, this must be the idea of this little goblin, how could the master take a goblin to take office. It must be this goblin.

When Ma arrived in the yard and directly asked the mother-in-law to smash it, just when he smashed it into the bedroom and pulled the aunt's hair, Zhou Xiaolan, who got the news, came in with his sister.

angrily pulled his mother away, and then asked her to send her mother back, and let people smash the house to pieces.

And the aunt with messy hair on the side was suddenly stunned, what's the matter, shouldn't the second girl persuade people to leave. How did you stay and smash it yourself.

not only smashed things, but also made people beat this aunt.

The face was directly swollen, and the mother-in-law brought with him was strong and strong. A palm-sized aunt with a heart has a swollen mouth, not to mention a few teeth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaolan went to the old lady alone to ask for guilt.

Although the old lady was annoyed, the second girl was going to marry into the Gongsun family as a clan wife next year, so what if she was beaten. I don't have to press it down.

It was quickly decided. The aunt in the second room didn't understand the rules and was taught a lesson by the second lady.

The next day, Ma was talking to his daughters in the yard, and the daughter smashed the aunt's yard, and even beat people, and there was nothing to do, so she was punished for copying the female ring.

And Zhou Xiaobin also said curiously to her sister who was drinking tea: "Sister, I thought you would just smash things, but you even beat people, but grandmother just dropped lightly." ”

Zhou Xiaolan gently put down the teacup. Frowning at the proud mother and curious sister, he said seriously: "This world is already strict with us women. So if you want to do something out of the ordinary, it's always worth it than you lose, and if it's purely for the sake of venting your anger, it's too confusing. If you can't do that, then stick to your rules. ”

After speaking, he looked at his mother with great meaning.

And Ma Shi was a little surprised when he heard his daughter's words, yes, if he broke things purely, he would have a reputation of being a stranger and jealous, and beating people, even if he lost his reputation, but this person couldn't follow the master to take office, which means that what his daughter said was greater than his loss.

Zhou Xiaolan stopped talking when he saw his mother deep in thought, and some truths can only be understood but not spoken.

Here, Zhou Xiaofu didn't know that the Zhou family was in trouble, but lived with her mother-in-law, Concubine Chang, in the small courtyard of the temple to worship the Buddha.

Yesterday, I went to the temple to listen to the scriptures and pray for blessings, and at night Concubine Chang slept well.

Master Wuxuan is not in the temple, it is said that he went to Tongzhou.

However, it was very interesting to leave her three strings of beads.

Each contains the healing power of the wood system.

And Zhou Xiaofu replaced the string of beads that had disappeared from the energy of Concubine Chang.

After lunch, Zhou Xiaofu and his entourage returned to Kyoto.

And Concubine Chang is also in good health.

Zhu Guli returned to the house early and listened to the steward that after receiving the letter, his mother and wife would be back in the afternoon, so he smiled and asked people to prepare food or something.

And Bai Nianan said a little funny: "Why, how long has it been since you got married to care so much about your little wife?" ”

Zhu Guli said with a smile: "She is not small at all, she has ideas more than anyone else." ”

Bai Nianan smiled and said, "Yes, indeed." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Guli said with some amusement: "I heard that you asked Cuilian to change places to serve?" ”

Bai Nian'an suddenly laughed, and said a little helplessly: "Yes, this girl is too weird, she whimsically thinks that I am interesting to her." ”

Zhu Guli smiled and said: "You don't like to talk to Steward Zhu directly, don't embarrass yourself." ”

Bai Nian'an excused himself and said: "Well, it's just that I saw that you were more interested in this Zhu Steward, so I thought about not making everyone unhappy, so I just changed my position." If you can't afford it, just hide. ”

Here, as soon as Zhou Xiaofu returned to the courtyard, she heard Cuihua report angrily: "Princess, this Cuilian is kneeling outside and wants to see you, Princess." ”

Zhou Xiaofu didn't even have time to change her clothes when she entered the door, so she frowned a little irritably when she heard Cuihua say this: "Let her come back another day, I'm not free today." ”

Cuihua went out for a while, and Zhou Xiaofu hadn't changed her clothes yet, so she listened to the noise outside.

Hurriedly changed his clothes, and without taking off his head and face, he went out with Qingbi and them to see.

I saw this Cuilian kneeling there crying with tears and snot, so that she was not aggrieved and sad.

Qingbi went up and said, "This Cuilian girl is so pompous. The princess didn't change her clothes when she just entered the courtyard, so you wanted to see her, who do you think you are? ”

Cuilian heard this. Suddenly put away his tears and said aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, the slave maid is looking for you in a hurry, but these sisters stopped the slave and maid and did not let the slave and maid enter." ”

Zhou Xiaofu sneered: "You still know that you are a slave." ”

Cuilian was silent, looked at Zhou Xiaofu in disbelief, and suddenly said with some resentment: "The slave maid just came to beg the prince not to transfer the slave maid away from Mr. Bai." The slave maid has been serving Mr. Bai for three years, and she is familiar with it, if she is replaced by someone else, she will not be able to serve him well. What if this prince is to blame? ”

Zhou Xiaofu suddenly said, this girl has no brains, she just came back, why did she transfer her away from Bai Nian'an's side. Suddenly, he said to Qingbi without getting angry: "Palm mouth." As long as you can speak. ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Qingbi walked over directly and pulled someone in, while Zi Ning was familiar with the past and helped this person turn over and pin his arm.

Qingbi started fighting in front of everyone.

Qingbi is a stranger, this hand is extremely powerful, a few slaps up, Cuilian didn't have time to call before she could scream, her mouth was full of blood, and a few teeth were lost.

Ten slaps, and his face was so swollen that he couldn't see the human appearance.

At this time, Zhu Guli and Bai Nianan got the news and also came to the courtyard here.

Cuilian saw the person coming clearly, and immediately stepped forward to hug Bai Nian'an's leg and said, "Mr. Bai is me." The princess wants to kill me. ”

Zhu Guli's face suddenly sank, and he asked Steward Zhu to come over.

And Zhou Xiaofu also changed her face here. A simple bun was recombed, and it came out.

At this time, Steward Zhu and his wife also arrived in the courtyard, and when they saw that their daughter vomited blood, they were immediately dumbfounded, hugged their daughter and screamed: ", who beat you, Cuilian, my heart and liver." ”

This woman has dark skin, and she called out when she hugged Cuilian.

Zhou Xiaofu glanced at it, and then looked at Zhu Guli, without a trace of a smile on her face.

Zhu Guli suddenly had a nervous look on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu skimmed her eyes, was in a slightly better mood, and nodded lightly: "Fortunately, the mother concubine has slept well for the past two days." ”

Zhu Guli nodded and said with a smile: "Well, just now in the study, the concubine sent someone to say, I have slept well recently, and I want to eat dinner together." ”

Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together later." ”

Everyone here was still waiting for the prince to say something, but when they saw that the prince went up directly to please the new princess, they suddenly looked at the beaten Cuilian with some pity.

Zhou Xiaofu said at this time: "Mr. Bai, what is going on with you telling Steward Zhu's family about the transfer of Cuilian, this Cuilian in the province will make trouble with me again, as if I want to break you up." ”

Bai Nian'an, who said this, immediately blushed, and turned his face away with some shame and did not speak.

Zhu Guli stood up at this time and said to Steward Zhu: "Steward Zhu, on weekdays, this king takes a fancy to you and saves you some face, your daughter finds the princess directly here without any indiscriminate soap, this is your rule, hurry up and take people away, and want to wait for this king to give you revenge?" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly walked up to Zhou Xiaofu and looked at it gently, Zhou Xiaofu suddenly felt a little funny, this man looked like a dog, and he seemed to ask for praise for doing good deeds.

Here, Steward Zhu and his wife also knew the cause and effect of the incident, although they knew that their daughter was right to be beaten, but when they heard the words of the prince without any maintenance, they immediately complained in their hearts, and left with Cuilian in their arms.

The matter was revealed, and Zhou Xiaofu and his wife went to Concubine Chang for dinner in the afternoon.

And Zhu Guli also told Concubine Chang a good news, that is, he got an official position for his two uncles, although the position is not conspicuous, but it is also a small fat shortage.

Concubine Chang is in good health these days after eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and when she heard the good news brought by her son, she was so happy that she couldn't help but use half a bowl of rice.

After the husband and wife returned to the courtyard, when they were washing, Zhu Guli said: "You can take over the rights of the housekeeper, and it is not a matter to let the housekeeper take care of it." ”

Zhou Xiaofu also felt that she was in charge of today's incident, otherwise the master would not have the appearance of a master, and a maid would dare to disturb her yard.

So he nodded in response. (To be continued......)
