The lights were shining, and the carriage moved unhurriedly on the flat street, and the interior of the carriage was so stable that no movement could be detected.

Zhang Liangkuan was dizzy and his heart was heavy. His wife, Li Liniang, slapped the tiger and coaxed him to sleep, and the lights on both sides of the road penetrated through the cracks in the curtains, and the jewels on the hairpin drew a crystal flash.

This hairpin is a good sister of his wife, his good brother Xu Changhua's wife sent, such a gift he has received a lot, on weekdays I thought it was my brother who was righteous, but today this jewel is like a stroke in his heart, flashing he is restless. Brother Xu is actually a member of the Li family, and the mansions and fields that were given to him are all things from the Li family, remembering that when he heard the news, he was so panicked that he almost fell off the chair, Zhang Liangkuan laughed bitterly at himself.

After the middle move, this Xu brother paid willingly, sent a white jade Guanyin with a height of a certain height for his mother's birthday, and sent 100 acres of fertile land to help him go to Beijing to take the exam and help take care of the family. The first time he rushed to take the exam, Brother Xu was still enthusiastic, and his sister-in-law was enthusiastic about being a matchmaker and married Liniang to himself. I thought that I was like-minded with Brother Xu, and it was the boya period of this life, but I didn't expect to reveal the mystery during today's banquet, how could it not make people sad.

Hu'er had fallen asleep, and Li Niang saw her husband's frowns furrowed, so she gently leaned over and leaned on Zhang Liangkuan's shoulder, Zhang Liangkuan sat silently.

After a while, feeling that his shoulders were wet, Zhang Liangkuan lowered his head, but saw his wife sobbing silently, crying like a begonia with rain. The love between husband and wife is deep, Zhang Liangkuan's heart is sour, he opens his arms and takes his wife into his arms, and there is a familiar light fragrance in his hair, which is an intoxicating atmosphere. Zhang Liangkuan's hands tightened unconsciously, holding his wife and children tightly in his arms.

In Xu's house, the red candles in the lobby were hot, and the wine table was a mess. Xu Changhua drank alone, and the wine was dripping all over his clothes.

The footsteps were broken, the candlelight was swaying, Xuchanghua's wife Li Shi turned out from behind the screen, saw her husband's crazy expression, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Changhua, don't drink anymore, the wine hurts your body." ”

"Fuck off." Xu Changhua pushed his wife away and howled: "I am like-minded with Liangkuan, why do you want to force me to be this villain." ”

Li fell to the ground crying, crying: "You and Liangkuan are confidants, Liniang and I are not like siblings, Liniang is still a concubine as a matchmaker and Liangkuan, Liangkuan and Liniang are forced by you and me, you and I are not forced by the family, they are not puppets in the hands of others." ”

"Alas", Xu Changhua threw the cup in his hand to the ground, kicked away the chair, pulled out the sword from the wall, and came to the courtyard. A ball of silver flowers bloomed in the moonlight, and the sword dance was like a madness, pouring out the depression in his heart.

Xingguo County Huang Yuanwaifu.

The sound of the piano is curling, the voice of the beauty is delicate, Ren Guoqiang was drunk before drinking, his eyes wandered on the woman in the yellow shirt in a daze, and he didn't notice that the Huang Yuanwai next to him was secretly looking at him.

After a song, Huang Yuanwai waved with his hands, and the woman in the yellow shirt stepped forward to bow down, and spat out a wonderful voice: "I've seen Daddy." ”

"Daughter, this is Ren Gongzi, the deputy envoy of Qingtian, Ren Gongzi is a great talent who is a scholar of today's science and technology. Daughter, don't you like talents the most, come and pay tribute to Ren Gongzi. ”

The yellow-shirted woman's skin was like clotted fat, her hands were like soft wattles, she poured wine and handed it to Ren Guoqiang, and whispered infinitely shyly: "Ling'er respects the son with a glass." ”

Ren Guoqiang had already given his soul and didn't know where he was, when he took the cup, his fingers gently pinched on the soft wattle, Ling'er snorted, and the wine in the cup spilled on Ren Guoqiang's sleeve.

Ling'er exclaimed, and hurriedly took out an embroidered handkerchief from his arms to wipe it for Ren Guoqiang, Ren Guoqiang held Ling'er's hand in a daze, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Ling'er's wine is spilled on me, like flower dew, extraordinarily fragrant." ”

Huang Yuanwai saw that Ren Guoqiang was so unbearable, and he no longer tried more, and said with a smile: "Ren Gongzi, you see that the little girl's appearance is eye-catching, and the old man intends to marry Ling'er to you, I don't know what the son wants?" ”

Ren Guoqiang got up happily, came to Huang Yuanwai and bowed deeply, and said, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”

Huang Yuanwai was disdainful in his heart, bullshit Jinshi, the books were read in the dog's stomach, and he was fascinated by a bitch who did not distinguish between southeast and northwest. With a smile on his face, he said, "Virtuous son-in-law, please get up, the old man will let people arrange it, and I will marry you today." ”

At the Suyuan County Post House, Wan Huaide kicked everyone out of the room, carefully locked the door, checked the windows, and checked around before returning to the table and sitting down. Staring at the red candle flame in a daze, Wan Huaide's face was red and white, and the delicate face under the candlelight revealed a little weird.

For a long time, Wan Huaide exhaled a long sigh of sullen breath, took out a brocade pa from his arms, opened the brocade pa, and inside was a thick stack of silver tickets, a total of thirty pieces, ten pieces of one hundred taels, ten pieces of fifty taels, ten taels of ten taels, a total of 1,600 taels of silver.

Wan Huaide carefully picked up a silver ticket, shining on the candle flame, full of intoxication, thirty silver tickets for half an hour, Wan Huaide carefully stacked the silver ticket neatly, wrapped it in a brocade handkerchief, and stuffed it into his arms. He didn't take off his clothes, but lay down on the bed, and naturally put his left hand on the silver ticket, and fell asleep sweetly.

The weather began to cool, the autumn rain fell silently, and the plane trees in the courtyard began to lose their leaves, mottled on the green bricks, like tears out.

The data of the counties clearing the acres of land have been reported one after another, compared with the earth-shattering of Linyang County, the data in various places are not shocking. Liu Yushan took the data in Yu Zhijie's hand, looked at them one by one, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled, and said: "I don't know elsewhere, Huang Xinqing in Xingguo County is called 'Huang Bancheng', relying on the shadow of his ancestors, and he is married to the Li family, so he wantonly embezzles the fields, and his family's fields are by no means less than a thousand hectares, at least half of them are listed in his family's name." ”

Yu Zhijie leaned back on the chair and relaxed his tense muscles. At a glance, I saw Jiang Anyi staring out the window idly, unable to give up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Anyi."

Jiang Anyi woke up from his thoughts, there has been no news of Xinfei for a long time, Jiang Anyi always thinks of it from time to time, just now he remembered the scene when he and Xinfei met in Linyang County, I don't know how Xinfei is now, is she still in retreat?

Seeing Jiang Anyi looking at himself blankly, Yu Zhijie hated that iron could not become steel, and he wanted to knock and beat, and the matter of clearing the fields and acres was the best he did, so that Yu Zhijie had nothing to say.

"Anyi, although Qingzhan Tianmu has made a good start, it is still difficult." Yu Zhijie said in a heavy tone: "If you look at the data reported by other counties, the sum is only about the same as that of Linyang County, you and Yushan are my arms, you must help me with all your strength at this time, and you must not be distracted by things." ”

Liu Yushan stood up and said, "My lord, I am willing to go to Xingguo County, and I will definitely find out all the fields that the Huang family has occupied." ”

"Okay, Yushan has the courage to do things, which is much stronger than Anyi." Yu Zhijie praised Liu Yushan, and then said to Jiang Anyi: "Anyi, don't be idle, simply go to Anqi County with the teacher, there is the Li family's nest, you can check the fields in Anqi County, and the teacher promises you, you don't have to worry about other things." ”

Yu Zhijie understood Jiang Anyi, this student is smart, but he is a lazy cow, and he will never move without a few whips. If Jiang An Yizhen assists him in taking down the Li family, most of the work will be completed.

Jiang Anyi lacked a good impression of the Li family, except for Li Shicheng, the other Li family members gave him the impression of being arrogant and arrogant.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was eager to try, Yu Zhijie lowered his face and said: "Anyi, don't ignore it." The Li family has been heirloom for 300 years, deep-rooted, flourishing branches and leaves, and it is impossible for one person to fight against it. This time to Anqi, I know you secretly, Anyi, you must be careful, beware of plotting. ”

Yu Zhijie had not yet left, and the news that the Qing envoy had gone to Anqi County to check the acres of land had already reached the Li Mansion. A steward hurried to the study in the middle of the mountain, where Li Mingde was studying, and reported the news to the powerful uncle.

Li Mingde remained silent and asked, "What news is there in Xuchanghua?" ”

"Xu Ye reported yesterday that Zhang Liangkuan had left home and went to Yuanhe County, and the family stayed in the house and did not accompany him."

Li Mingde smiled slightly, it seems that Zhang Liangkuan has already complied, this person is an amorous person, and limiting it to affection is the most effective way.

Gently putting the book back on the table, Li Mingde stroked his beard lightly, and thought for a moment: "What is the word of the Ningxian order?" ”

"There are only four words from the Ningxian order, 'The head of the horse is Zhan'."

"Hmm", Li Mingde nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Last year, Qi'er came back from the north with a lot of good wild ginseng, let Mrs. pick ten of the best ones, send them to Ning County Order, and say let him make tea and drink it." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, I will also send a branch to Xu's mansion, give it to An Niang, let her watch Changhua tightly, don't leak at this time."

The room was quiet, and the steward saw that the uncle was thoughtful, and held his breath, for fear of disturbing Li Mingde's thoughts. After a long time, Li Mingde came back to his senses, waved his hand to signal the steward to step back, stood up, and walked towards Jishantang, some things the old man saw more accurately than himself.

Li Chengshi looked at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard with a cane, and Li Dongfeng pointed on the side, "Grandpa, this pot of green clouds has a beautiful posture, like a fairy volley, singing and dancing; This pot of fairy Ganoderma lucidum was specially entrusted by the grandson from Qingzhou to bring, wishing the grandfather a long life and a hundred years old, like pine and cypress Ganoderma lucidum. ”

"Little cub, the sycophants are good, grandpa likes it." Li Chengshi scolded with a smile, looking at the fairy lingzhi and smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing his father coming, Li Dongfeng saluted in a proper manner and stood aside with his hands down. Seeing that his grandson was restrained, Li Chengshi said: "Okay, Dongfeng, I have something to talk to your father, you can go back first." ”

Li Dongfeng saluted, walked out of Jishan Hall, and immediately became brisk. Outside the door, two elders followed with a smile and said flatteringly: "Young master, are you going hunting or fishing today, or don't go to the county seat to go shopping, I heard that there is a new girl in Yicuilou, she is beautiful and sings well, do you want to go and take a look." ”

"Don't go anywhere, just go ahead." Li Dongfeng didn't stop, he just returned home from the academy yesterday, when he passed the front yard, he accidentally found a laundry woman by the well, I don't know whose girl it is, she looks really smart, Li Dongfeng's soul has been hooked away, if he didn't want to meet his grandfather and father first, Li Dongfeng would never leave easily. Let's take a look today, the beauty is still there.
