Chapter 187: Epiphany

In the early morning, a cat had been whining behind the house, waking up Yang Zhangde from his sleep.

Li Qing'er in his arms was like a baby, pillowed on his left arm, with a little burden, which made Yang Zhangde's heart more steady.

From now on, he is no longer a lonely ghost, but a man with a family.

The smell of fragrant fragrance filled the house, and the soft touch of his body made Yang Zhangde can't help but reach over again, wandering between the peaks and mountains.

Li Qing'er also woke up from her dream after being tossed by him, her body trembled with fear, and she begged for mercy in her mouth: "The concubine is weak, I hope that my husband will have mercy." ”

Yes, this is his wife, not one of those women who use it and throw it away, he hugged her a little tighter, and used his stubble to stimulate her delicate skin.

"The days are still long, so I'll let you go for the time being. You sleep a little longer, I'...... I went to practice for my husband. ”

"The concubine is waiting for her husband to dress."

"I don't need you to serve, there are no elders in the family, you get up later. After a while, I will ask the little girl to call you breakfast, and after breakfast, you will look at the account book, and the two concubines will also come to see you today. They have been with me for a few years, and they have not been allowed to get pregnant, first waiting for you to give birth to a big fat boy for your husband, and then weaning them off the medicine. There are also two room maids, do some chores, and you will see you later. This family, the two of us will support it together in the future. ”

Although Li Qing'er wanted to hold on, she pulled the wound below, and fell back shyly.

Yang Zhangde was satisfied, laughed, rubbed his hands on her for a while, suppressed his impulse and kissed her, and said hoarsely: "I'll let you serve me well in the evening......"

Li Qing'er dared to reply, and covered her eyes with the quilt in shame, not looking at his strong body.

Although she is shy, she is also satisfied in her heart. Although this husband looks a little vicious, he can still pity her, and as a person around His Royal Highness Taisun, he can also shield himself from the wind and rain.

If you have a husband like this, you can't ask for anything more.

In three days of Rianu, Yang Zhangde completely developed Li Qing'er, and he could not be more satisfied with this wife.

When he returned to the door three days, Yang Zhangde also selected a lot of heavy gifts and added them to the gift list as a sign of satisfaction with this wife.

When he came to the Cao Guogong Mansion again, he was not an outsider, and as a half-son, he was not shunned, and was directly welcomed into the inner courtyard and met all his relatives one by one.

After the meeting, the female family members entered the backyard, and the men chatted in the front yard. At noon, the Li family also put on a lot of wine and meat to entertain the son-in-law.

Their family now has a simple population and few servants. Four tables were set up in the hall, and two tables were set up in the courtyard, and all of them sat down.

Yang Zhangde was a little strange at first, was the Li family too polite to him.

Although they were imprisoned, Zhu Di did not do things absolutely and left a bad reputation, so they were just squeezed out of the circle of power, and their usual life was a little harder.

Moreover, because a family like theirs has fallen to the bottom, no one dares to bully them at all.

First of all, whoever dares to target them is to oppose a large group of classes, and secondly, this is also a slap in the face of Zhu Di.

Therefore, even if it is Jinyiwei, he does not dare to bully any person from the Li family casually.

Why is a family like theirs so close to their commander?

But the mystery was inadvertently revealed by his brother-in-law Li Yi. "Brother-in-law, since Your Highness has remembered the grievances suffered by our Li family, and has also arranged for your little sister to be a good son-in-law, have you ever mentioned our errand to you?"

Seeing the expectant eyes of a table of people, Yang Zhangde suddenly understood. Where is his own charm, everything is arranged by His Royal Highness.

I don't know when, I became a chess move in the hands of His Highness again. After marrying the Li family, he was able to use the former prestige of the Li family to enter the noble class, and the Li family could live a better life with the help of himself, a person with real power.

What's more, this action won the gratitude and reassurance of the entire lord at once, and he was not afraid of the consequences of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey, so he naturally tried his best to do things for the Ming Dynasty.

Although he knew that this marriage was arranged by Zhu Zhanji, Yang Zhangde was not dissatisfied in his heart. First of all, he was originally a knife in the hands of the grandson, and secondly, he was very satisfied with this marriage.

His Royal Highness still knows my preferences and does not arrange an ugly girl for me.

If he really arranges an ugly girl for him, I'm afraid he will also have to give it to his own home, how can there be today's Qin Se and Ming.

At this time, he could only laugh at this and said: "Your Highness didn't mention this matter to me, when Your Highness is in a good mood one day, I will help my brother ask." ”

On the way home, Yang Zhangde was still thinking about Zhu Zhanji's intentions while riding on the horse, so he naturally neglected Li Qing'er.

Li Qing'er sat in the car, saw her husband frowning, and couldn't help but wonder if her husband had lost weight and was blamed by her father and brother.

After returning home, Yang Zhangde sent him into the backyard and said, "You arrange a table of banquets, and I will invite a group of colleagues to have a drink today." ”

Li Qing'er agreed, and asked with some concern: "Why is my husband sad, but my father and brother have embarrassed you?" ”

"No, it's just that His Highness helped me arrange this good family business, and I'm thinking about how to thank him."

Li Qing'er said with a smile: "I also went to the palace a few times when I was a child, and the queen mother was still alive at that time, and she also cared for me very much. It was only later that his father had an accident and the court became cold, and he never entered the palace again, and the other mothers didn't know him, otherwise he could mediate for his husband. ”

"Men ......" He originally wanted to talk about men's family affairs, and women don't care. But thinking of Li Qing'er's identity, although she was stripped of her family title, she is now married to herself, and she can be regarded as a fourth-grade wife of the imperial court, and she is qualified to enter the palace to meet her.

In the past, I only had the opportunity to enter the palace once or twice during the New Year's holidays, but now that I have a wife, it seems that I have made up for the defect that I can't enter the palace!

He changed his tone and said: "Our marriage was presided over by His Royal Highness himself, and now that the return ceremony has been completed, it can be regarded as a consummation, so naturally we should hand over the sign to thank you." ”

Li Qing'er saw that her husband had changed his attitude, and she was also happy that she could help her husband. However, she was a little worried, and said with some embarrassment: "I just don't know if the crown princess still remembers me, Concubine Zhaoyi also saw me twice before entering the palace, but she may not be able to remember me." ”

"You are my wife, for the sake of the grandson's face, no one will embarrass you. The only thing ...... is that Yang Zhangde said with some embarrassment: "There are too many concubines for this prince, and we can't give gifts." ”

Li Qing'er smiled and said, "This is easy to do,...... Don't think about pleasing everyone, pleasing everyone, there will only be one result in the end, and that is to make everyone dissatisfied. We only need to please a few important people, such as Zhaoyi Guifei, the crown princess, and the princess. At most, the two Liangdi, we also express our hearts......"

Yang Zhangde nodded, touched her little face and said, "You are really my virtuous helper, with you, I don't have to worry about these things in the future." However, there is also a Ma Liangyuan in the palace, although she is young and does not appear in front of others, but she was personally pointed into the palace by His Royal Highness Taisun. Her brother Ma Di, father Ma Zhide, and uncle Ma Zhicai have all been reused by His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, and they should not be neglected. ”

"The concubine knows it, and she won't miss her husband's future."

Yang Zhangde said with a smile: "You have thought so carefully about your husband, I should treat you well." ”

As soon as she saw Yang Zhangde smirk, Li Qing'er wanted to run. But where could she run past Yang Zhangde, and she was stopped and hugged by Yang Zhangde without running two steps.

She pushed Yang Zhangde's chest and begged for mercy: "Husband, let the concubine go to arrange the banquet, so as to save the wrong time." ”

Yang Zhangde carried her to the door and shouted to the two red-faced little girls: "You talk to the lady Wang in the kitchen and let her tidy up a better banquet." ”

The two little girls hurriedly ran away, not daring to glance in their direction.

Li Qing'er covered her face with her hands, and saw that there was no one between her fingers, so she was a little relieved.

This husband is good at everything, but he doesn't have enough in that aspect, as long as he is interested, he can prostitute himself during the day. In the past few days, she has also been in pain and happy, unbearable, and she never imagined that there are so many shameful tastes in this world.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, Yang Zhangde and his newlywed wife went to the Zongren Mansion to report, wanting to say goodbye to the nobles in the palace.

His official position is still a little awkward.

Because the life of an official with a grade of three or more can be directly approved. And the fourth-rank and fifth-grade women can only wait for approval.

As for the official wives below the sixth grade, they are not eligible to apply. Only when great achievements have been made, the nobles in the palace will summon them once according to etiquette.

Yang Zhangde is now the commander of the affairs, the four-grade official, and he will have to wait for the palace to reply after reporting.

However, they didn't wait long, and in the afternoon of the second day, an attendant came to the Yang family to inform him that the crown princess would meet the Li family at noon on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

After getting the news, Yang Zhangde was overjoyed and wanted to take out twenty silver coins to reward the two chamberlains.

Although Li Qing'er is in the middle of the road, she is not like Yang Zhangde, who was born in the middle, and knows that this is not the time to be generous, so when he took the silver, he hurriedly dissuaded him, but he gave five silver coins, that is, five taels of silver.

The little eunuchs who reported the news are all connected, and today the Yang family will give ten silver coins, and tomorrow the entire inner eunuch will know about it.

The two little eunuchs who were given today are ten taels, how will they be given to others in the future? How do you give someone with a higher rank? If you give less, maybe others will scold you behind your back for not understanding the rules.

Yang Zhangde used to do things casually, but he didn't think of this, and at this time, he felt more and more that this wife was a good wife.

Yang Zhangde's level is not enough, and it is the relationship between the grandson, so when he reported, the sign handed over was to meet the concubine of the grandson.

But the princess is pregnant, and now the princess is in charge of the affairs of Xingqing Palace, so she came forward to accept it. chose noon, that is, at eleven o'clock to meet, that is, he would definitely stay in the palace for dinner, which is also the reason why Yang Zhangde was happy.

Although it was just to meet the princess, the gift of entering the palace could not be given only to the princess. The crown princesses who came forward to receive them, including the nominally highest-ranking Zhaoyi concubine in the harem, and others had to prepare gifts there.

Just to give gifts, Li Qing'er sent someone back to her parents' house and asked her mother-in-law Yuan to arrange for Meng, who had served in the Li family for nearly 40 years, to help her arrange various matters.

Meng is Yuan's little girl, married into the Li family with the Yuan family since childhood, in the glorious era of the Li family, the Yuan family took her every time he entered the palace, and he also knew the rules and personnel relations in the palace very well.

Seeing their meticulous preparations, Yang Zhangde really understood a little at this time, why His Royal Highness would arrange such a noble woman for him as his wife.

The general nobles and the family power are huge, and they may not be able to take a fancy to him as a brocade guard. Zhu Zhanji is also worried that he will become uncontrollable because of this.

But the Li family is in the middle of the road, and in order to avoid suspicion, even if they want to revitalize the family, they don't dare to go beyond the rules.

For him Yang Zhangde, having such a wife can let him know many rules that the upper class needs to know, and let his habits fade a little.

Because a vicious dog that encounters resistance from the upper class and a vicious dog that can integrate into the upper class play a completely different role.

Why is Ji Gang resisted by everyone, is it really because he has done a lot of evil? Isn't everything he does at the behest of the emperor?

The key point is that Ji Gang has not integrated into the military attache class, nor into the civilian class, and has never even been an upper class.

Putting on a coat for himself is not to let himself be in a group with others, but mainly because Taisun wants him to appear more gentle.

He has been with his grandson for two years, and he thinks he knows this grandson well.

When it comes to being ruthless, Yang Zhangde thinks that he is not as good as him. His own ruthlessness is exposed. And this grandson is really killing people without blinking, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

However, all he can see is a gentle heir with long sleeves and good dancing, a leader who is delicate and merciful to his subordinates.

It seems to be affectionate, but it is truly ruthless.

No, it can't be said to be ruthless, but a kind of indifference that does not take others into account in the slightest.

This is the real prosperity of those who follow me, and the death of those who oppose me.

After sending the Li family to Donghua Gate, Yang Zhangde was still thinking about where he should go there to pass the day, but he heard the Han general Wang Liyu who was guarding him say: "Your Excellency, Your Highness ordered you to come to the Internal Supervision and Intelligence Department to meet you." ”

Out of the Donghua Gate Urn City, to the north against the city wall is the newly built courtyard of the Counseling Division. This place is isolated separately, it is not an inner palace, and foreign ministers are allowed to enter.

The temperature in early spring was quite cool, but Zhu Zhanji fought with a group of chamberlains on the grass, making himself sweat profusely.

This is also another place that Yang Zhangde admires this grandson, although he is a grandson, but he does not have the self-care that a noble person should have, and he has a paranoid love for polishing his body.

I don't want to think about it, even if he is the first master of the Ming Dynasty, what is the place to show it?

Seeing Yang Zhangde, Zhu Zhanji took a towel handed over by Li Liang, wiped his sweat and asked with a smile: "Are you quite satisfied with this family business?" ”
