It was already a quarter of the hour when the four of them had eaten and drunk, that is, around ten o'clock in the evening. Qian Yiai went out to send the three adults back, and then got into the sedan chair himself. However, when Qian Yiai came, it was a small sedan chair, and when he went back, it became two, and the one behind was a gift from Zhang Langzhong, the Yangzhou thin horse!

Qian Yiai is a romantic person, but he is a little afraid of guilt, and he sees the small sedan in the back of him, what can I do?

It was Qian Xi, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion, who came with Qian Yiai, and he was also an old man who had followed Qian Yiai for many years, and when he saw the old man hesitating today, he knew why he was worried.

Qian Xi stepped forward and whispered, "Master, but I'm afraid that the two ladies will be unhappy?" ”

Qian Yiai has two wives, the eldest wife is Chen Zizhuang's niece, who is deeply educated by Confucianism, and Qian Yiai has always respected each other. But because of this, Qian Yiai didn't dare to bring the thin horse home, he was afraid to see the disappointed expression of his eldest wife. As for the concubine Zhao, she was originally from a military family, although she was also pampered in Zhao Mengguan's family, but what quality did she have? If the Zhao family knows that he has brought back a woman, it will not be finished if he does not make trouble.

Qian Yiai looked at Qian Xi and asked, "Do you have a good way?" ”

"Master, the villain knows an idiom called Jinwu Zangjiao, why don't you buy an out-of-town house in the city and place it like a lady?"

Kanaya Zangjiao? That's good! Qian Yiai thought about it and thought that he didn't have any outbuildings in the capital, what should he do? It's so late in the day, it's not appropriate to look for it now!

Qian Xi saw Qian Yiai's hesitation, knew what he was worried about, and said in a low voice: "Master, in fact, when the old man left Nanjing, the old lady bought a foreign house for the old man in Beijing for emergency relief!" "It turned out that Qian's beloved son had a difficult time, the Chen family had only given birth to a daughter for many years after marrying into the Qian family, and the Zhao family also gave birth to a daughter in the fourth year of his entry, which was unforgivable in the eyes of the old lady who hoped that her son would spread out.

But Chen's maiden family is too powerful, Chen Zizhuang is the first assistant to Zhishi, Chen's father Chen Zisheng is now the Jiangxi envoy, in order not to embarrass his son, Qian Yiai's old lady only bought such a house in Dongcheng, Beijing, behind her son's back, in order to let her son Qian Yiai find more women, so as to spread out for the Qian family.

When Qian Yiai heard that his mother was still worried about her heirs even though she was thousands of miles away, she was moved and hurriedly kowtowed to the south to thank her mother for her care and care.

It's easy to say that if you have a place, Qian Yiai asked Qian Xi to go back to the house and tell the two ladies that she had drunk too much today, so she lived in Jiang Ge's old mansion, so that they didn't have to worry, and after the incident, she took Xiao Jiaoniang to the outer house in Xicheng.

Yangzhou thin horses are trained to take care of men, and first-class thin horses also have to learn poetry and songs, which is no worse than some young ladies from large families. Of course, it can't be compared with the Chen family, who was born in a big family, but it is much stronger than the Zhao family, who was born in a military family.

This night's gentleness made Qian Yiai enjoy it very much, if it weren't for the fact that he had to give a class to the emperor's grandson Zhu Shengduo today, he really didn't want to get up.

The Yangzhou thin horse is surnamed Xue, called Xue Ling'er. Now seeing the old man get up, he quickly ignored the pain in his lower body, got up to serve Qian Yiai and put on clothes.

Qian Yiai patted Xue's hand and said, "If you are sick, don't get up, the master has something to deal with today, and I will come back to accompany you in the evening!" ”

The Xue family is very satisfied that they can follow Qian Yi's love, they are fourteen or fifteen years old like this, and if they don't find a wishful husband at this time, no one will want it in the future. Now Qian is very chic, the key is still very young, just twenty-eight years old this year, this kind of good man man really can't be found with a lantern.

Although I heard that Qian Yiai still has a wife and a concubine in his family, Xue calculated in his heart that according to Qian Yiai's age, his wife is at least twenty years old, where can he compare to his young and beautiful self! That concubine heard that she was born in a military household, and her background at the bottom was even more incomparable to herself. So as long as you flatter your lord and give birth to a son for your lord for a year and a half, who will say it at home at that time?

The Xue family was dreaming of spring and autumn here, when there was a sudden noise in the front yard, and a group of people walked into the backyard noisily.

Qian Yiai's outer house occupies a small area, only two courtyards and seven houses, the front few are where the servants and kitchens are located, and the back is the residence of the master house and Yahuan. When Qian Yiai heard the sound outside, she didn't care about putting on her outer clothes, so she only wore a middle coat and pushed open the door to see what was going on.

Qian Yiai went out of the door just when he saw the courtyard door being pushed open, and seven or eight women came in, led by his wife Chen and concubine Zhao.

It turned out that Qian Yiai asked Qian Xi to send a letter last night saying that he would not go back, and Zhao was a little suspicious.

Zhao and Chen said: "Sister, the master has never come back to live, is there a wild woman outside?" ”

Chen didn't think about it here, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't know that our lord still doesn't know that this reputation is more important than life, and that kind of thing that the golden house hides will never do!" ”

"Sister, that's not necessarily, my father also said so when he was a hundred households in Dongguan, but after arriving in Nanjing, he had money and status, and he didn't marry seven or eight aunts in a row!"

Chen smiled and shook his head without speaking, thinking to himself You are from a military family, how do you know how much the literati value fame?

"Okay sister, you see that Fang'er is also sleepy, you can go back and rest! If you don't worry, just wait for the master to come back tomorrow and ask him! ”

Zhao saw that his daughter was really sleepy, so he took her back to his room to rest. After returning to the house and settling his daughter, the more Zhao thought about it, the more wrong it became, his lord had always burned buns, and he didn't dare to attract bees and butterflies outside, what if the golden house was hidden? What's more, why live in Jiang Ge's hometown, what is Jiang Ge's identity, and can stay in your little prefect's mansion?

After Zhao waited for the child to sleep, he went out and called his personal maid ring and told her to do so.

That Yahuan is Zhao's marrying Yahuan, so she naturally listens to her own miss. took the waist card of his master Zhao Mengguan from the young lady, changed into a night suit and went out.

Zhao Mengguan was afraid that his daughter would be bullied when she married into the Qian family, so he gave her a waist card of Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, according to the law, this is a crime, but who told Lao Zhao to feel sorry for his daughter?

That girl was also from a military family, and she was still bigfooted, so she didn't have anything to fear, and when she went out of the house, she looked for the night patrol team of Jinyi Guard on the street.

The security of the capital is divided into three parts, one is the security of the city gate, there are a total of thirteen city gates in Beijing, which are managed by the infantry commander Yamen. The other is the Inspection Division, which is under the control of Shun Tianfu, that is, Qian Zhiai. The last one is Jinyiwei, the Ming Dynasty Beijing city is divided into eight squares in the outer city, twenty squares in the inner city, each square has a hundred households stationed in Jinyiwei, mainly responsible for local security, night patrol.

Yahuan didn't go far before she saw a team of Jinyiwei's wrestlers appear at the corner of the street, and the leader of the team seemed to be a small flag, and Yahuan hurriedly greeted it.

Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi saw a big girl come out on the opposite side in the middle of the night, and when he saw that he didn't dodge and rushed over, he was just about to get angry, so he saw that the girl took out a waist card and said: "Nanzhen Fusi is on an errand, which part are you?" ”

Nanzhen Fusi is the Jinyi Guard of Jinyiwei, the spy of spies, that Xiaoqi didn't dare to hesitate when he heard that it was Nanzhen Fusi's killing, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there a certificate?" ”

Yahuan handed over Zhao Mengguan's waist card in his hand, and the little flag took out the text from his arms to check it, and saw that it was really the waist card of Zhao Mengguan, who was the commander of Tongzhi, and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "I don't know that the Tongzhi Lord is here, the villain is offended!" ”

Yahuan took back the waist card and said: "I am ordered by Zhao Tongzhi, and now I order you to find the whereabouts of Qian Yiai, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, Qian Zhifu should have been drinking in Goldfish Hutong an hour ago, you should go and find out quickly!" ”

That Yahuan was originally also the inspector of the Jinyi Guard, and now it looks like it is issuing orders. Although Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi didn't believe in this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, Zhao Mengguan's waist card was not fake, and the five punishments and eight laws in Jinyi Weizhong were extremely strict, and those who did not respect their orders were sentenced to be beheaded, so that Xiaoqi hurriedly bowed down and took his subordinates to Goldfish Hutong to find the news of Qian's bereavement.

The Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty is outside the Anding Gate, north of the East Street of the Drum Tower, which is not far from the Goldfish Hutong, and where is the news that Jinyiwei can not find out. In less than half an hour, the little flag brought back the detailed information.

That girl hurriedly went back to the house to report to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family didn't go to Jiang Yueguang's mansion when he heard that Qian Yiai lied, and also took a Yangzhou thin horse to Xicheng, needless to say, he must have lived with that cheap woman tonight.

At this time, it was already Yinshi, and it would be dawn in another hour, but Zhao really couldn't swallow this breath, so after settling his daughter, he went to find his wife Chen.

Chen couldn't help but be a little depressed when he heard the news, and couldn't help but cry secretly when he remembered that he and Qian had sworn an alliance with him.

Seeing that Chen was just crying, Zhao hurriedly asked, "Sister, let's let that wild woman seduce the master, let's go to Xicheng to catch the adulterer!" ”

"Sister, Xicheng is so big, where can we find weak women?"

Zhao thought for a while and said: "Butler Qian Xi came back and said that the master went to Jiang Mansion, this guy must know where the master went to Xicheng, why don't you call this guy and ask!" ”

Although the Chen family is weak, but the heart is extremely strong, this is the tradition of the Chen family, Chen Zizhuang was killed by Tong Yangjia with a big saw in the original history, and he scolded bitterly before he died. When Chen Zisheng learned that his brother had been killed, he immediately took his wife into the mountains to live in seclusion, never leaving the mountains to enter the office. With this kind of family education, Chen's heart is far stronger than his appearance.

As soon as Chen heard that Zhao was right, he was too indulgent in his love for Qian, and he said that he would not accept a concubine, but also accept Zhao? Although Qian Yiai explained that it was a completely political marriage at the time, but now? If you don't stop this crooked wind, I don't know how many more sisters I will have in the future!

Chen made up his mind, wiped his tears and said outside: "Come on, go to the front yard and find the housekeeper Qian Xi!" At the same time, he ordered four or five healthy women in the backyard to tie them up with ropes as soon as Qian Xi came in!
