Zhang Xiaowu gave her a bang, and said with a smile: "You know that playing mahjong and playing mahjong is not whether you died because you ate mahjong in your previous life, and you can't get along with mahjong in this life." ”

Mang Chong rubbed his head and said, "Originally, how good it is for four people to play mahjong, we won't take you to play." Whoever plays with you loses money, so they don't want to play mahjong with you. ”

Zhang Xiaowu then introduced the people in the family to Shang Wan'er one by one, the second lady Wanqiu, the housekeeper Mangzhong, the personal maid Yunyan, the bookkeeper Zhang Nan and so on. Although Shang Wan'er can't remember the road, she can remember people, Zhang Xiaowu only introduced it once, and then he remembered all the lives and faces of his family. But Shang Wan'er obviously didn't know much about etiquette and humility, and when she saw everyone, she just nodded, which made people feel that she was difficult to approach, and there was no smile on her face, and the subordinates whispered, saying that this eldest lady was difficult to serve.

"Mangzhong, you find a house for Wan'er, and then match her with a maid." Zhang Xiaowu commanded.

"Okay." Mangzhong was about to lead Shang Wan'er to find the shop, but Shang Wan'er didn't move, Mangzhong was anxious and wanted to pull her, but when she saw Shang Wan'er make an angry expression, she slammed Mang'er: "Don't touch me." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly, took Wan'er's hand, and personally took her to the boudoir, this boudoir has three doors, one door is the living room, the second door is the maid's bedroom, and the third door is the lady's boudoir. Although each room is not large, the boudoir with these three doors is also very magnificent. This boudoir was originally prepared by the original tenant for the girl, and although the decoration inside is simpler, it is just right for Wan'er.

"You take a rest first, and I'll go back when I go." Zhang Xiaowu said.

Shang Wan'er nodded, stopped talking, and looked vigilantly at the surroundings and the people who came and went to clean up the house, and Mang Chong also followed. When he returned to the main hall, Mang Chong said to Zhang Xiaowu: "Master, your sister's temper is not very good." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly and nodded.

Wanqiu also asked with concern: "Lang Jun, my sister doesn't seem to have a good temper, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly, and Yunyan poured him a cup of warm tea very intimately.

Zhang Xiaowu took a sip of tea, the temperature was just right, but the taste of the brew was not as good as Wanqiu's tea art. Then he talked about Wan'er's experience and experience, and finally said: "My sister Wan'er has killed people to protect herself, so don't stimulate her, one is to protect her, and the other is to protect you." ”

Several women were surprised, they didn't expect that this little girl had actually killed people, and more than once, isn't this a brain disease? Not to mention a little girl, even an adult woman, she can't treat life like a mustard like this. Mang Chong said with a bitter face: "It turns out that she has hysteria, if this is the initiation of the disease, what should we do." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "She's not sick, she's just too vigilant, so in the future, especially you, Xiao Mangzhong, you must not have irritating words and actions towards her, especially actions, she can really kill." ”

Mang Chong clutched his chest and choked with fright: "Okay, I'll give her up, it's all right?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's not necessary. ”

Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, she is a little tiger, as long as the family treats her gently, she doesn't need to think about it." ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "Exactly, exactly." Then he asked, "Wanqiu, what's going on with your script?" ”

Wanqiu said: "Changed a little. ”

Zhang Xiaowu pulled Yunyan over and said: "Yunyan girl is a poet, don't look at her who doesn't like words, but she has thousands of talents in her chest, you can ask Yunyan girl for advice." ”

Yunyan also seemed to want to have a good relationship with Mrs. Wanqiu, so Yingying bowed and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how can the slave maid have any talent, but I have to hear that Mrs. Wen likes to write, and she is quite interested, but I don't know if Mrs. Wanqiu's masterpieces can be seen." ”

Wanqiu immediately said: "Sister, come and see, how do I write?" The two were not familiar with each other, but they became friends because they liked good works together, and Zhang Xiaowu was also very pleased on the side, there is nothing more important than the harmony of his wife. Of course, it is not excluded that the wives pretend to be kind in front of Zhang Xiaowu, after all, in this feudal era, women still rely on men to live.

As he was talking, suddenly an imperial envoy came to Zhang's house, and the emperor summoned him to the palace.

When Zhang Xiaowu arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Dade suddenly reprimanded: "Why don't you go to the court, why don't you enter the palace, are you still my favorite minister?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, are you looking for a minister with something important?" The minister was so busy kicking the back of his head that he didn't have anything to do in the court on weekdays, so he was busy doing practical things. ”

Emperor Dade said: "Looking for you today, there are two main things to tell you, one is a good thing, and the other is a not very good thing, which one do you listen to first?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu didn't want to think about it: "Listen to the bad things first." ”

"It's not a good thing." Emperor Dade corrected.

"Yes, whatever you want."

Emperor Dade said: "That's the case, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the emperor has to shout to take a stroll around Longdu City, saying that you promised him well, and he begged to come to me." As a father who is busy with national affairs all day long, I had to agree to him, so I asked you to take him out for a private visit to Weifu. ”

Zhang Xiaowu jumped up in fright, his face was distorted, and he said: "Your Majesty, I promised him to take him to Longdu in the future, but not now, let alone so young, he-he is only six years old, what if there is danger outside the palace?" ”

Emperor Dade said: "As the so-called king has no jokes, since I promised him, I will do it." As for how to protect him, that's your business, you are the crown prince, you have to find a way, even if you can't think of a way, you have to think of a way for me. ”

Zhang Xiaowu held back the dirty words in his heart, you can really pretend to be a good person, and I will be affected alone, right? But who made the family the emperor, Zhang Xiaowu could only sigh, and said: "The minister obeys the decree - then there is another good thing?" What's the good thing? ”

Emperor Dade suddenly rejoiced: "This good thing should be in your expectation, didn't I say before, seeing that you have no relatives in Longdu, you are helpless, lonely, and without a woman to accompany you——"

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a wife." ”

"Don't you have no children?"

"I don't have children yet."

"You've been married for so long, and you don't have any children, there must be something wrong with your wife." Emperor Dade gossiped, "In order to reward you for governing Longdu properly, and to reward you for protecting the crown prince, I have already sent someone to the Yanyang Marquis Mansion to help you match." Yan Yanghou was naturally very happy when he heard that you were going to marry his granddaughter, and said that he was willing to marry his two granddaughters, Gu Qingxi and Gu Ruoxi, to you, but the premise was that they must be the wives of the main house, not concubines. ”

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a while, this is not a pie in the sky, this is a weighing stone falling from the sky, which hit his head, and he was dizzy.

What's going on, why do you suddenly have two more wives, isn't it the end of the year, and you're lucky? He just knew that his sister Gu Ruoxi was like a fairy and liked to study medicine, and said that he must build a hospital, and his sister Gu Qingxi was smart and dignified, and she was a wise woman. Originally, he planned to visit the Gu sisters, after all, they had crossed paths in Saibei, but after thinking about it again, he still didn't bother rashly, after all, they were unmarried women. Not to mention ancient times, even modern times, there are not many men who go to visit unmarried women's homes, and there are elders and so on.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaowu stayed for a long time and didn't speak, Emperor Dade smiled in his heart, he was stunned by this happiness, he couldn't clean you up, so he continued: "On the day of marriage, you go and make a decision with Yanyang Hou, but you have to wait for the end of the prince's ceremony." In fact, marrying the children of the Gu family to you is not a loss to you, they look like fairies, and Yanyang Hou's family has a lot of property, marrying you is also a wish of Yanyang Hou, so he can settle down. ”

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly realized that the content involved in this marriage was not only about Emperor Dade trying to get a wife for himself, but also about appeasing the former princelings. Because Gu Yong was suspected of the rebellion of the former prince, the Yanyang Hou family declined, and the camel that could be killed was bigger than the horse, and the Gu family still had a lot of money and could affect the court situation.

It is impossible for Emperor Dade to completely give up the Gu family of Yanyang Hou, so he married the two girls of the Gu family to Zhang Xiaowu, and Emperor Dade's words can naturally play a role in winning over the Gu family. The emperor used the means of marriage to reassure the Gu family, and also used the means of marriage to reward his close ministers, which was a favorable decision of the three parties.

If Zhang Xiaowu refuses to marry, it will destroy the emperor's plan, but also destroy the emperor's mood, the so-called emperor's heart is unpredictable, he dare not guarantee what the emperor will make at this time, after all, Emperor Dade is a person who can dismiss the right prime minister when the court, and force all the ministers to donate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu could only bow to the ground and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage!" The minister is honored, and I don't know which lifetime of blessings I have cultivated. It's just that Weichen's wife died early, and the minister once swore that no one could take her place, so the eldest and second ladies of the Gu family could only be the same lady. ”

Emperor Dade smiled and said, "Yes, since your wife died early, they can also be the same wife." ”

Zhang Xiaowu continued to explain: "The only way they get started is to be the third lady and the fourth lady. ”

Emperor Dade said angrily: "In the law of the Holy Han, there is only one lady and only one wife, why do you still have three ladies and four ladies come out?" Do you want to break the law? ”

Zhang Xiaowu quibbled: "Your Majesty, you also know that there is only one Mrs. Tong, since Mrs. Tong's position is unshakable, then the eldest lady and the second miss of the Gu family entered at the same time, who will be Mrs. Tong?" These two daughters are biological sisters, and it's not good to snub anyone, so it's better to be the same wife together. But since I have broken the convention of only one person with my wife, I will not snub Wanqiu, who follows me. So Weichen decided that according to the order of entering the door, the first to enter the door was the second lady, the elder sister was the third lady, and the younger sister was the fourth lady, so that the rain and dew were extremely fair. ”

Emperor Dade was circled around by him, and it took him a while to figure out the before and after, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, you want to take advantage of all the benefits, you need to explain this to the Yanyang Hou family, I made a matchmaker for you, if you mess up, I will take off your head." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Obey! Then the minister went to see the prince. ”

Emperor Dade said: "This little guy has been shouting to see you recently, but he is closer to you than to me, who is a grandfather." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Is Your Majesty jealous?" ”

Emperor Dade said angrily: "Get out! ”

"Okay."

When Zhang Xiaowu ran away, Emperor Dade laughed instead, and let Zhang Xiaowu marry the granddaughter of the Hou family of Yanyang, the first is the beauty of adults, since Zhang Xiaowu is lustful and sullen, he will include the two beauties of Longdu into the room for him, so as to win over Zhang Xiaowu; The second is to win over the wealth, the Yanyang Hou family is rich, the family has many capable people, and they are always loyal to the Xuanyuan clan, but the third son of the Yanyang Hou is loyal to the former prince, and now since the former prince has died early, the Yanyang Hou family naturally needs a chance to be loyal to the Great De Emperor, so the Great De Emperor gave them this opportunity; The third is to buy people's hearts, Emperor Dade's move is the truth of buying horse bones, even the Yanyang Hou family can be wooed, not to mention others, but anyone who has two hearts in the court and China takes this as an example; The fourth is to wash away the trouble for the seventh brother Xuanyuanzi, compared to the King of Jin, the King of Chu is more loyal to Emperor Dade, and for so many years, it has been the King of Chu who is carrying the black pot for him and doing some unsightly things, and it is precisely because of the story between the King of Chu and the second daughter of the Gu family that the King of Chu is still imprisoned in the palace of the King of Chu, after marrying the second daughter of the Gu family to Zhang Xiaowu, the woman of the Gu family has a good home, and when the King of Chu is restarted in the future, there will be many fewer obstructors; Fifth, Emperor Dade first wanted to let the Marquis of Yanyang return to the Senate, disperse the power of Dushanbo, and then form a situation of resistance, and at this time Emperor Dade could demonstrate his imperial power.

Lai Xi stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, please see the deputy marshal of the Quartet." ”

"Xuan."

"Yes."

After the Quartet entered the Yang Xin Palace, Emperor Dade retreated from everyone, and the Quartet said: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions Flying Pigeon Legend, Yushuai found Gu Yong and Li Cunyi and others at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, they had 3,000 troops, occupied the Razmo Kingdom, Qihan Kingdom and Altai, and claimed to be the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Holy Han Dynasty, Li Cunyi appointed himself as the Governor of the Western Regions, and Gu Yong served as the military advisor to deter a number of small countries in the Western Regions. ”

Emperor Dade said: "What is the mood of Gu Yong and the others? ”

Quartet said: "Yu Shuai is in direct contact with him, but if these two wanted to establish themselves as kings, they would have already called themselves kings, and now they call themselves the capital protectors, Yu Shuai speculates that they dare not call themselves kings in their homeland." If His Majesty surrenders and forgives his wrongs, they will surely return with their crowd. ”

Emperor Dade thought for a while and said, "Prepare the decree and surrender, but you don't have to return." I will send 50,000 refugees to the Protectorate of the Western Regions to fill the population, hoping that the two of them will be able to lay a foundation for the Holy Han in the Western Regions. ”

"Yes."

Emperor Dade said: "In addition, inform Gu Yong that one of his daughters will marry Zhang Xiaowu, the commander of the Yinyi Guard. ”
