Shangyuan County Yanei.

Looking at the cage in front of him, Zheng Chan's eyes were at a loss, and he was stunned.

Since following Fan Jin, she has also opened her eyes, no longer the little woman who was at the bottom of the market in the past, she has seen some gold and silver treasures, someone sent gifts to her to go through Fan Jin's joints, and she already has a very rich private room, just like the box of jewelry that Song gave her, the value is also considerable. The last time Feng Bangning's residence was raided, a lot of gold and silver were also sent.

But the problem is that there are too many of these gifts at the moment, and the identity of the giver is too high, which makes her a little distracted all of a sudden. These gifts came from Zhang Juzheng's house, and were nominally given to Fan Jin by the old lady of the Zhang family, and were sent by the chief manager Yao Ba. It took dozens of big men to carry back and forth several times before it was completed, and it was spread out in the backyard of the county yamen, covering almost the entire courtyard.

The lid of the cage was all open, revealing the red satin, gold and silver jewelry inside, even if it was a wealthy family in Jiangning, it would not have such a rich family background. When Mrs. Zhang met for the first time, she rewarded the number one rich man in Jiangning, which was too generous.

"These ...... All for us? Zheng Chan's voice was a little hoarse. She is not a money-greedy woman, but her poor background makes her indeed have a pursuit of money, and for a simple civilian woman, one of the main reasons for marriage is to eat and dress. The attraction of money to her should not be underestimated.

In contrast, Xue Wu is much calmer than her. This former Oiran on the Qinhuai River is well-informed, and although the current scene is rare, he is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he is much calmer than Zheng Chan. He stepped forward, gently stroked a batch of fine red satin with his hand, and picked up two gold ingots and bumped them back and forth in his hand, making a tinkling sound.

"These are not for us, they are for our eldest lady. Can't even see that? The old lady's reward for our master is a pretense, and it is true that she gave her granddaughter a dowry in advance. The wealth is not the emperor's family, and the prime minister's family is not far behind, this is also an appetizer, and the main table has not yet been served. ”

"Ah...... Is this a dowry? She had a lot of face when she came over the door, why did she send it now, wasn't it in vain? ”

Xue Wu snorted, "What do you know?" There are too many dowries, and it is troublesome to really pass the dowry, so I will send this over first, for convenience. Xiangye's face is not reflected in these gold and silver treasures, and when the dowry is really over, this is too little, and it can't attract attention at all. On the contrary, it is too weighty, so it is easy to send it over early. ”

"Huh? Is that less? If the dowry is officially passed, how many houses are not allowed to be bought for the dowry? I have also seen a lot of daughters-in-law in Beijing, and most of the dowries are eight lifts, which is ...... The marriage of this Xiangye's family, even if it is multiplied tenfold, is enough. But how much does this have to be? Zheng Chan was stunned by the news, and sighed that poverty limited his imagination, and he couldn't care about fighting with Xue Wu. Xue Sufang made no secret of her contempt for Zheng Chan, and snorted coldly: "What have you seen?" Eighty lifts? Joke! Let me tell you that when the servant of the household in Jiangning married his daughter, the dowry was loaded with three big boats. Do you know about the three big ships? Xiangye marries a daughter, I'm afraid I have to prepare a day to dedicate to the dowry, as for how much to raise, when the time comes, you can count it yourself, and tell me when the number is clear. You can take some for yourself, Miss Zhang will not go to her heart. ”

Of course, Zheng Chan would not be stupid enough to really stretch out his hand, but he was frightened by this grand ceremony and even began to worry about his fate. In the past, although I knew about the relationship between Fan Jin and the Zhang family, I lacked intuitive understanding, thinking that the so-called daughter of the prime minister was just richer than ordinary people, and it was no big deal. But today, from the dowry, she has realized that the gap between the two is only more than money, and she has been crushed and there is not even ashes left. In the past, I fought with a few women, but now it seems that I am too petty, and as long as I wave my hand in the main house, I am afraid that I will immediately be wiped out without a whole body.

No way...... Something has to be done! Zheng Chan thought so, looking through the window paper, looking at another room in the courtyard, and then the chess pieces arranged by herself there didn't know when they would play a role.

Also shocking was Jin Yunu. Although she couldn't figure out the specific relationship between Fan Jin and her husband, the other party's sister-in-law was long and short, and she seemed to have a good relationship with her husband, and she was extremely respectful to herself, and she sent a few maids to serve her, so she temporarily stayed in the yamen. Except for the girls who are a little bewitching and don't behave like a girl from a good family, there is nothing wrong with it.

Today, the Zhang family gave a gift, and she was also invited by the maid to come out to see, and she was more shocked than Zheng Chan. At the beginning, Jin Er and they blocked the road and robbed, although they did not worry about their livelihood, but they had never seen a large amount of money. Such a huge wealth also shocked her soul greatly, and even gave birth to a sense of fear and powerlessness in the face of behemoths.

These days, she deliberately avoided Xue Sufang, afraid that her hatred for Xue Wu would be seen. In my mind, I also conceived several methods of revenge, but when it came to the actual implementation, I didn't dare to really act. After all, it is a flower that was deliberately protected by his father and grew up in the greenhouse, and he actually didn't have much guts, otherwise these methods would have been used on Feng Bangning or Huang Jien a long time ago. She managed to crawl out of hell, and she didn't want to go back.

Now looking at these huge wealth, she has a huge sense of powerlessness in her heart. She was taught by her father that the poor do not fight with the rich, and the wealth does not compete with the power, after seeing these belongings, she had a huge sense of fear in her heart, and what she thought about was not the revenge of killing her father, but whether there were flaws in her words and deeds these days, what if Fan Jin's family saw that she was dissatisfied with them? How can you afford to provoke this kind of person?

The smoky maids usually liked to talk about meat, and they were not afraid of her, and at this time they seemed to be moved by the gold and silver treasures, and they talked unscrupulously. "No, no, no, I have never seen so much gold and silver treasure in my life. I'm dreaming about this these days, I'm afraid I'm dreaming of this, and I can't sleep well these days. ”

"What's the use of just dreaming, it's better for you to leave the door for the master at night, if you can raise an aunt, you won't have a share of the property in this family."

"That's what you call a dream! The lord has never been here, so what's the use of me keeping the door? It's our lady, if she is active, we can share a few profits, and when she gets rain and dew, we can also share the soup and drink, and save this field from being dry. ”

"Yes, I'm not a big girl anymore, and the husband at home is useless, if you follow our master, eat and drink spicy, what a good day it is? Besides, she is also a woman who has given birth to a child of her own, and I don't believe she doesn't want to do that without a man for so long! ”

"Our lord calls her a sister-in-law, she is not stunning, her head and face are neat, but she is only similar to Chef Zheng, even if she is willing to unbutton, the master may not be willing to give in."

"It's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun as sister-in-law. The old man's sister-in-law is long and the sister-in-law is short, maybe she is thinking about this......"

A few women, you and I say one sentence, and the words have become more and more unbearable. Jin Yunu's face was red when he heard this, his heart was beating wildly, he buried his head in the pillow, and blocked his ears with his hands, but he still couldn't stop those sounds from drilling into his ears. She recalled the host's attitude towards herself, and there was no frivolity or provocation, she was indeed a decent gentleman. But the misfortune she encountered from Feng Bangning made her have a fear of men, and she was always worried that as they said, there would really be a day. Feng Neixiang's nephew can act recklessly against himself, if Prime Minister Zhang's son-in-law thinks about himself, what can he rely on to resist? The woman, who had just climbed out of the abyss, felt that she was about to fall here again at any moment, and nervously curled up in a ball, praying to the heavens: Xianggong...... Where are you? Come and save me.

"Xianggong...... Spare me! ”

In the flower hall of the second hall of the Yamen, Zhang Shunqing, whose eyes were blurred and her face was like fire, lost the spirit of a proud woman who had lost her sky, and cried out to her husband on her body. Originally, the Luohan couch set up in the second hall was used by Fan Jin to take a nap in the office, but at this time, it became a battlefield for repaying lovesick debts. The two haven't been together for a few months, Zhang Shunqing has long been tormented by lovesickness, and now that Zhang Juzheng is not around, he naturally needs to ask for it. didn't even care that it was daytime, so I relived a mandarin dream here.

Aguli, who was in charge of watching the wind outside, was also made red-faced and red-legged and weak by a coquettish moan inside, and muttered in her heart: Miss has a good eye and has found a useful husband.

Since he didn't bring a maid with him, only Fan Jin did the things of scrubbing his body and cleaning up the battlefield. Zhang Shunqing has become accustomed to her husband's service, from being shy and even a little moved at the beginning, to now it is a matter of course, where to wait for her husband to serve.

"When I leave, I'm going to take this bed with me." Zhang Shunqing pulled Fan Jin to be coquettish.

"Why?"

"I'm here with you...... It's already well, and no other woman is allowed to be nice to you in this bed. Xue Wu or the cook lady who looks like a cheap commodity can't do it! ”

"Qingqing...... In fact, these two halls are office places, and no one can come casually except you......"

"Don't lie to me. I don't know what you look like, I'm not by your side, I'm definitely going to pull other women around, anyway, if you don't give them a name, I don't care if you play outside, but you are my person, no one is allowed to take it away, the bed I slept in, just don't let them sleep! ”

"Okay, it's all up to you." Fan Jin had no choice but to raise his hand to forgive. I muttered to myself in my heart: I'll get a new one when you're gone, and it's not difficult at all. Last time, I seemed to see a very good one at Yang's house, so I moved back and moved over......

Zhang Shunqing showed a hint of a smile:

"That's pretty much it. Those women can only serve you for pleasure, and you can't count on them in business, so you still have to rely on me to help you. Turning around, Xianggong said to the person from the Ling family, the golden Buddha he sent, my eldest mother likes it very much, and my eldest mother is happy and my father is happy. Besides, Ling Yangshan has the same friendship with his father, and he has a cultivation feeling for retreat, and his father is ready to ask for something. Xianggong was originally cultivated by Ling Yunyi, and we have to recognize this favor, but if his family considers himself a benefactor because of this, he will be good-looking sooner or later! This repaid his kindness, and everyone will be friends in the future, and no one owes anyone. When it comes to cultivation, his means can't be put on the table, and his father's cultivation is the real grace. ”

When she said this, she pointed to the public case next to Luohan's couch, where Zhang Juzheng's work log was placed. Compared with gold and silver treasures, these workbooks are the most valuable treasures, and in a sense, they can be regarded as ten thousand gold. After all, Ling Yunyi originally trained Fan Jin as an excellent magistrate, and taught the skills of the herdsmen. And this manual is the experience of how to manage a country, there is a huge difference between the two in terms of height and skill, and the expectations of Fan Jin are even more different from each other day and place.

No matter how Zhang Juzheng asks his daughter to keep it secret, this secret is actually unkeeping. Although he was full of questions about how he, a person who did not enter the Hanlin Academy, entered the cabinet, this news was enough to make Fan Jin excited, and even worked very hard when he was cultivating, and Zhang Shunqing, who began to practice the Yijin Sutra in order to satisfy her husband, still couldn't resist it.

"I know that the lady is my good helper, and I also know that Taishan cultivates me gracefully, and he will not lose it one day."

"Well, Xiang Gong was willing to break into the smallpox village for me, and he was willing to marry a woman who had smallpox for me, so I knew that Xiang Gong would not fail me. It's just that there are too many people who live up to each other, and I don't agree! You will always only be allowed to let me go in your heart, and the others will roll here with you at most, and they will not be allowed to enter your heart. ”

She had already dressed under Fan Jin's service at this time, but the person lazily leaned on Fan Jin's arms and didn't bother to move, "Don't stay here for too long, hurry up to Beijing to get married, the two of us can be together openly, and those vixens won't have a chance to hook your soul." ”

"I can't ask for this! However, the official body can't help it, and he can only move if he has made some achievements in Shangyuan. Taishan still wants to make Shangyuan a model, if I can't do something, how can I make a good move? ”

"What's so difficult about the land of the little Shangyuan projectile? The eldest mother rewarded those gifts, which is the capital used to show off the strength of the father, with the support of his father, and with so much gold and silver, what can't be done? The princess brought your official business, and the concubine helped you see what was difficult to do in Shangyuan. Those cheap people will only mislead you, and the only one who can help you deal with official business is a concubine. Let the prime minister see what kind of means the prime minister is! ”
