Chapter 105: Masterminded (1)
In Luzhou City, Luzhou County Yazhong.
Zhou Chang, the assassin of Luzhou, finished approving the official document, and seeing that it was almost noon, he said to the master next to him: "You go and let the subordinates go to my house to inform Mrs. that there is a party outside today, so you won't go back to eat." ”
The master looked at Lord Thorn Shi's lewd smile, and knew what Lord Thorn Shi was thinking, and asked: "Then I'll tell Madame that the tea is about to go on the market, and the merchants of the tea shop are going to invite adults to drink today, and they may have to meet later, do you think it's okay?" ”
Zhou Chang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the reason is very good, no, what is the reason, that's what it is." Go ahead. The master turned around and retreated, while Zhou Chang was thinking about how to be happy with his concubine today.
Why is Zhou Chang so sneaky? We have to start from the beginning.
This Zhou Chang, more than ten years ago, was on the list of the imperial examination and got a petty official in the capital. Originally, he was proud of the spring breeze, but his talent was not good, and he had some ability to recite poetry, but he was a mess in handling government affairs, and he didn't get mixed up for a few years. But God favored him, just when he was disheartened, he met his current wife, the daughter of Cao Hao, the secretary of the ministry, and fell in love with him at first sight.
Although his wife looks average, after all, the family is prominent, and Zhou Chang couldn't ask for it, so he married his wife. With the support of his father-in-law, he rose all the way.
However, people use as big a bowl as they eat. If it rises too fast, it will inevitably have the problem of being in the wrong position, and a negligence will poke the basket, but fortunately, the mistake is not big. However, Zhou Chang is timid and afraid, and this time he made a mistake. I felt that it was difficult to be a Beijing official, so I asked my father-in-law for an errand to be released.
The secretary is still the secretary of the department, which is equivalent to the current head of the Central Organization Department, and this little thing is naturally not worth mentioning. He was appointed to the position of Luzhou Assassin.
This Luzhou is located in a relatively remote area, and the economy is not reached, but the only thing is that it is rich in this fragrant rain tea. This Xiangyu tea is a tribute to the emperor every year, and Zhou Chang took advantage of this collusion with the tea merchants to buy and monopolize the business of Xiangyu tea, and also sent his nephew Zhou Xing to be a Luzhou engineer in charge of the Luzhou shipping. The annual income of Xiangyu tea is very considerable, but the tea farmers get less than one, and the remaining ninety percent is more than ninety, and thirty percent goes to Zhou Chang and Zhou Xing's uncle and nephew. The other sixty percent went to the tea merchants.
This little life is good, he is rich, and the emperor is far away, Zhou Chang is not satisfied with his current pursuit. is the so-called warmth and Yin desire, Zhou Chang pondered about taking a concubine. But as soon as he mentioned it, his wife was in a hurry with him, and she didn't agree to say anything. The two have been married for ten years, and his wife has also added a son and a daughter to his old Zhou family, so there is nothing to be sorry for Zhou Chang. What's more, Zhou Chang can have today all thanks to his father-in-law, so he doesn't dare not listen to his wife's words.
But is this kind of thing said that you can let go of it? Zhou Chang finally secretly married a concubine without telling his wife, and no one knew about this matter except for his master and a few personal entourages, not even his nephew. Zhou Chang has no other benefits, but he is very careful.
This little concubine is not from Luzhou, she came to Luzhou by chance, and she is unfamiliar with the place where she is not found, and she happened to be seen by Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang saw that this girl was twenty-eight years old, and she was smart and well-behaved, and she was directly fascinated, and even accepted it if she was coaxed and deceived. Zhou Chang took the private money to buy a house, which was considered a golden house. No, her concubine just gave birth to a son to him not long ago, and Zhou Changle couldn't keep his mouth shut.
This is a big hobby of Zhou Chang now, and he is hungry if he doesn't eat for a few days, and there are more things at home in the past two days, and he can't get out of his body, and he is finally busy, and he is thinking about going to satisfy his hunger today.
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't have the heart to read the official document, so he instructed his henchman to copy a small sedan chair and go to the concubine's house.
But as soon as I arrived at the door of this little concubine's house, I got off the sedan chair and didn't enter the door, so I saw the master running over in a panic and said, "Oh no, Madame is here." ”
When Zhou Chang heard this, he was so frightened that he almost didn't lose his breath, and the master hurriedly stepped forward to give him a smooth breath: "I don't know who reported the letter, Mrs. seems to know about the second grandmother." ”
Zhou Chang wanted to run, but when he turned around, he saw that his wife's sedan chair had reached the mouth of the alley, and the back road was blocked, so there was no way to run. Sweating profusely.
"Oh, sir, you're so busy. I can't even care about eating lunch at home, where are I going? This lady was obviously angry, and came over to Zhou Chang without smiling. Zhou Chang's legs were trembling, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak.
At this juncture, the courtyard door of this house opened, and a man who Zhou Chang had never seen walked out of the courtyard and thought enthusiastically Zhou Chang ran over and said: "Lord Zhou, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, today I specially asked someone to bring the best flower carvings from Suzhou, and I will accompany the adults to have a few drinks." ”
After saying this, the man seemed to have just seen Mrs. Zhou Chang, and asked: "This should be Mrs. Zhou, hey, Lord Zhou, you bring Mrs. to tell me too, I didn't prepare, I met Mrs. Zhou in Xia Zhang Hong." ”
This person turned out to be Qinglong Hall advocate Hong!
Although Zhou Chang was also confused, no matter what happened, it was much better than he expected, and after being an official for so many years, he still had some ability to adapt to changes. Zhou Chang quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "Madam, why are you here, since you are here, let's have a meal together." ”
Mrs. Zhou originally heard the rumor that Zhou Chang had raised a concubine outside, and originally wanted to catch the adulterer, but it didn't seem to be the case, so she also got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Oh, I'm not worried that the master is working too hard outside and not paying attention to his body?" Sir, you need to drink less. ”
Zhang Hong hurriedly apologized and said: "It was negligence, and it should be punished." It's windy outside, so please come inside. ”
Entering the courtyard, Zhou Chang found that the people he had sent before were gone, and they all had new faces. When they came to the living room, the people had prepared a sumptuous banquet, and Zhang Hong made a gesture of invitation: "My lord, madam, please take a seat." Please forgive me for the poor preparation in a hurry. , I toast the adults and make amends. Fluttershy, you can also give Madame a drink, and accompany me. ”
This sentence was said to the back room, a delicate woman came out, and the corners of Zhou Chang's eyes twitched, this was his concubine.
Fluttershy walks over and grabs her glass to Mrs. Zhou and says, "Fluttershy has a glass to Mrs. Chow." After speaking, he drank it all, poured another glass of wine and came to Zhou Chang and said, "Fluttershy salutes your lord." Due to the location, Mrs. Zhou could not see Fluttershy's expression at this time, and Zhang Hong took out the opinion gift to Mrs. Zhou at the right time, attracting Mrs. Zhou's attention.
Out of sight of Mrs. Zhou, Fluttershy grabs Zhou Chang's hand and puts it directly on her chest. Zhou Chang was as timid as a mouse and afraid of his wife, and his frightened soul fell out of two, his hands trembled, and he drank half of the wine and spilled half of it.
Fluttershy toasted a glass of wine and went down, while Zhang Hong continued to introduce his gift to Mrs. Zhou: "This is a hundred-year-old hungry He Shou Wu, which is ground up and applied to the face, beautifying, wrinkles and anti-aging." "What women care about most is their appearance, which immediately attracted Mrs. Zhou's attention.
At this time, Zhou Chang recalled the feeling of touching the concubine with his hand just now, although he was frightened, but there was a different kind of stimulation, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Men just love excitement, even the most timid men. Of course, all this was carefully planned by Li Shan, in order to take Zhou Chang in one fell swoop.
