Chapter Seventy-Eight: Contemporary Zhao Gao
The streets of Bianliang are still busy, but the old Bianliang people have found that all the poor people on the streets are different from before.
It is the South Ya and the North Division that maintain the security of the entire Bianliang on a daily basis.
Nanya's current Fu Yin is Yuan Xiannian, and the previous team has been purged once, and now all of them have been replaced.
Chen Shou did not ask Zhao Cai for an official position, but the important positions were all his, and those idle positions in the past were also manipulated by him into important positions.
For example, Captain Yi Lu in the forbidden army is now in charge of the guards and escorts in the imperial city.
After killing Wei Yunse and finishing the matter of the two princes leaving the domain, Chen Shou rarely went to the palace.
Let the young son of heaven be high-spirited in Tongting and guide the country.
It's just that his decree can't get out of Bianliang without Chen Shou's Jin Yuwei.
Zhang Hu, the Hedong Xuanfu envoy appointed by Zhao Cai, was arranged to be a deputy envoy to his hometown the day after receiving the holy decree.
Zhao Cai didn't know anything about this, and enjoyed it every day, but he didn't know that his ears, eyes and mouthpieces were under Chen Shou's control.
In front of Bianliang Street, in front of the Jiudou paper shop, several golden feather guards wearing red robes suddenly appeared.
The shopkeeper was frightened, his daughter had just been married to Lord Zhongshu Ling as the twenty-third concubine, according to rumors, his son-in-law of Zhongshu Ling, who was in his sixties, was a little bit at odds with the Zhongyong Marquis behind Jin Yuwei.
Jin Yuwei, who has always been known for his domineering, was surprisingly polite, and after stepping in, one of them asked in a loud voice, "Who is the shopkeeper Li?" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little old man is the shopkeeper here, and several adults are arrogant and lowly on the ground, and I don't know what to order."
"Look at what your old man said, our brothers are here to say hello to you."
"Daoxi?"
Jin Yuwei's cadre clasped his fists and said: "Congratulations to the shopkeeper, Li Xianglin, the daughter of Ling, has been taken by our adults, and she is going to marry tonight, you go back and prepare for it." ”
"Huh? No, by all means, several officials don't know, the little girl is already married. Shopkeeper Li secretly complained, he was really unfavorable for the past year, the second son did not become a tool and gambled indiscriminately every day, and now his daughter has become the target of the big shots.
"Haha, you go back and prepare, we'll come to greet you when we are young." A few Jin Yuwei couldn't help but say, turned around and left.
"So that a few officials know that the little girl is the master of Zhongshu Ling." Shopkeeper Li said stubbornly, ready to be beaten.
But a few Jin Yuwei just smiled, and they were not annoyed, and said with their fists: "Shopkeeper Li, haven't you heard of our adult's name, Tang Lao'er is against my family, and it is no longer a Chinese book order." ”
"Oh my God... Could it be... Loyal and brave.."
"It's my lord."

Chen's house, backyard.
Tang Wanying looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her braids had been broken up and coiled into a woman's bun, and the girl's fluff on her jade face was slowly twisted away by the colorful silk threads.
Sitting next to her, a little beauty she didn't know, although her skin was not as delicate as herself, her appearance was comparable.
It is said that she is also a newcomer tonight, Tang Wanying was even more sad in her heart, but found that the girl opposite was also secretly looking at herself.
"My name is Li Xianglin, what's my sister's name?"
Tang Wanying smiled dryly and replied, "My name is Tang Wanying." ”
Li Xianglin is different from her, she is very excited, Zhongshu Ling is rumored to be in her sixties, and the Marquis of Zhongyong is only in the age of the weak crown.
And the most important thing is that the Marquis of Zhongyong is his savior, when Shangshu's son wanted to forcibly occupy his body, it was the people of the Marquis of Zhongyong who fell from the sky and completely cleaned up the Liu family.
At that time, she had the illusion of being a girl, looking forward to seeing her benefactor one day, but she didn't expect fate to be tied to her today.
Behind them, a mother-in-law looked at them with a smile, "Master Hou is really a blessing, the two newcomers are more beautiful than the other." ”
She was invited by Lu'er, and she specially opened her face to the newcomer.
The so-called open face, also called open face, is to choose a middle-aged woman who has more than one boy, has not been divorced, has a harmonious husband and wife, and can be called a good wife and mother on the day before the girl gets married, first on the girl's forehead, cheeks, eyebrows, lips and chin, and rub some "open flour", and then take out the double-strand cotton thread prepared in advance, pull it into a clip shape, and twist it repeatedly on the forehead, cheeks, lips, chin and other hairy parts until the hair is twisted cleanly.
After such an "opening", the bride's sideburns are neat, the lines are clear, the eyebrows are curved like the moon, the lips and forehead are smooth and fair, and the posture is suddenly added to the posture and is much more beautiful.
The pre-marital grooming of "opening the face" means that the virgin era of a girl has ended, and she will become a married woman and a good wife and mother.
In the dream of Red Mansions, when it was said which maid was taken in by the master, he directly said that he had opened his face, and he came from here.
As he was talking, they squeaked open, and Lu'er took two little maids and brought a makeup dowry.
The woman in charge of opening her face opened it and admired, "Girls are so blessed, I have been doing this business for a long time, and it is the first time I have seen such decent Huadian jewelry." ”
Li Xianglin secretly glanced at it, and sure enough, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were dazzling, and her pretty cheeks couldn't help but be red and dizzy.
Lu'er pinched her waist and said happily: "You guys are less gossiping, hurry up and change the two newcomers into the bow shoes, the master and the adults in front of him will finish eating, and they will go to the cave room." ”
The mother-in-law who opened her face didn't care, and said with a smile: "The girls are indeed blessed, it is said that our Hou Ye is generous, and the shop alone has given ten rooms to the shopkeeper Li's house." ”
Li Xianglin was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and turned into two curved moons with a pair of smiling eyes.
Tang Wanying pouted, being a concubine with someone else was just being bought, and no matter how high the price was, it was just an ordinary fate. But he was carried on his shoulders, from under his father's nose, in his own house, he was robbed alive.
Thinking of this, Tang Wanying lay on the table and cried.
Lu'er glanced at her, and didn't understand why she was crying, marrying her own master can be said to be the happiest thing, I really don't know what to cry about.
The inner courtyard of Chen's Mansion is lively, and the outer courtyard is even more bustling, and most of the officials above the third grade in Bianliang City want to continue to mix in the officialdom.
This is still Chen Shou's special instruction not to use his henchmen, like Huang Zhen, most of them are not polite.
Zhao Hong and Zhang He took a list and compared them carefully. Those who didn't come today were circled by name.
There were also a few who didn't get the invitation, but came early and waited outside.
At this hour, it was time to sit down, Zhao Hong walked to the door and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back, my lord said that the road in Bianliang is slippery, and you must pay attention to safety when you return to your hometown." ”
The faces of these dozen or so officials were extremely ugly, and someone stepped forward and begged: "This little brother, make it convenient for me to see the Marquis of Zhongyong." ”
Some people brushed their sleeves away, threw the congratulatory gifts in their hands on the ground, and prepared to go back to pack their things and return to their hometowns.
Someone was in a dilemma, standing in place, his face cloudy.
Zhao Hong smiled: "My lord, you can also understand our difficulties. It's not that we didn't give you time, we came to invite you, but you didn't come yourself. ”
"It's convenient."
"Sending off!"
The guards of the outer courtyard stepped forward and pushed the men out, the gate closed, and a burst of firecrackers rang out.
Zhao Hong clapped his hands and said, "Go!" I'm going to the Cave House! ”
