The same thing is often completely different from ordinary times in special times, and the content seen in the eyes of different people is also completely different.

Outside the household salt merchants gathered to make trouble seems to be an accidental emergency, normal people probably first look at the excitement, and then worry about the country and the people to discuss the consequences, after going back if it is possible to post a few posts, the official statement is to write a few books to brush the sense of existence.

But Li Youdang, who has always been known for his keen sense of smell and quick response, even if he realized that he had to firmly grasp the Cheng family in his hands as soon as possible. At the same time, he also had some other small calculations that were not humane to outsiders, and he might be able to make meritorious contributions.

The dissatisfaction of the salt merchants was obviously aimed at the magnates who undermined the order of the salt industry, and most of these magnates were noble families who had no political pursuits. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and if the typical representative of Xinninghou is involved by someone with a heart through the Cheng family, it will be even more lively.

In normal times, it may not be so serious, but if there is a situation that is on the cusp of shaking the border army, the ruling class will definitely be unstable. This year belongs to the prosperous era, not the bottomless end of the dynasty, the imperial court still has a bit of self-correction function, so by that time, the civil official group of the government will not be polite to the nobles, the Marquis of Xinning must not bleed heavily, and the magnates are estimated to be suppressed.

Xinninghou is just a foreign relative to the marquis, and he is sure and definitely does not dare to argue with the entire civil official group, but Li Zhongshu, who single-handedly stabbed the Cheng family's case, is only afraid that he will become another celebrity in his eyes. Li You is actually not afraid of powerful and powerless nobles, but Xinninghou, who is the close brother of the Queen Mother, is special, which makes him, a person who walks in the inner court, very jealous.

Therefore, the Cheng family has the conditions to become a key factor, and the surname may not be small, with the surname of Lord Li, only by holding the Cheng family in his own hands can he eat and sleep with peace of mind. And the most popular way is to occupy the beautiful little lady Cheng... Besides, it's freezing and freezing, Li Zhongshu's apartment urgently needs a warm bed! Others who live in Beijing as officials and don't bring their families, who is not very fashionable to marry a little aunt, Lord Li naturally can't be an outdated old hat, not to mention that an aunt worth thousands of salts is really hard to find.

It's just a matter of counting in one fell swoop, even if Daddy Cheng comes back from pardoning, he has to pinch his nose and admit it. Even if this factor is not used, or a false alarm, such a beauty will not suffer if she is still placed in the house.

didn't mention the gossip, but said that Master Li repeatedly laid out the facts and reasoned with his heart, and failed to educate Miss Cheng, so he had to resort to the big killer of "please parents", and told Han Zong to call Qin Sile, the uncle of Cheng Xiaoniang, over.

After a while, Han Zong came back and saw that three people had followed him into the courtyard together.

Among them, the leader is Qin Sile, the middle-aged man next to Qin Sile is of medium stature, with a dark and rough complexion, Li You doesn't know this person, and he doesn't care. However, the one who fell at the back was an old acquaintance, and the former imperial historian Wang Qinian, who had not received the lunch box for a long time, was gloomy in face.

"Daddy!" Cheng Xiaoniang suddenly exclaimed, rushed out of the door, and threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged man and cried bitterly.

This person is the father of Cheng Xiaoniang, the real protagonist of the Cheng family's unjust case? Li You was surprised, wasn't he thrown into the army, why was he able to return to Beijing so quickly?

In fact, Daddy Cheng's luck is not bad in the end, and the place where he was assigned is Xuanfu... It's not far from Kyoshi. After the pardon, he hurried back, and he happened to have just arrived at Qin Sile to find his relatives.

One almost died in vain, the other almost ** wind and dust, the reunion of father and daughter who originally thought that there was no hope of seeing each other in this life, the scene was naturally touching and tear-jerking, and I cried for almost a quarter of an hour.

"Ahem! Cough! Li You spoke impatiently. This Cheng Dad was too ignorant, and he only hugged his daughter for a long time and sighed, but he put Engong aside and didn't come to visit. No wonder among so many salt merchants, Peng Sigongzi specializes in repairing you.

He was rude first, and Li You was too lazy to be polite, so he opened his mouth and said: "Father of the Cheng family, why did this official come here, Han Zong mentioned it to you?" This official does not dislike your daughter for being reduced to the dust, and wants to be accepted as a partial house, what do you think? ”

This is very arrogant, but it is also in line with his identity, why should Li Zhongshu be too polite with a former businessman.

Father Cheng put down his daughter, and after meeting Li You, he said: "The little girl is cared for by Li Zhongshu, and within the fifth sense of the next inscription, it is difficult to repay the broken bones." You are very good, but the little girl is about to marry Lord Wang, and I ask Li Zhongshu to understand. ”

The other party is neither humble nor arrogant, there is no half-grovel look, and he actually sent him a good person card, which made Li You very unhappy, and almost scolded You Are you blinded by lard? But for the sake of the potential father-in-law, I put up with it.

Dealing with powerful people like this, you really deserve to be rectified, Li You thought while pointing to Wang Qinian, who was always silent, "Uncle Cheng, don't laugh, this official doesn't dare to say that Meiyu is in front, but where can Lord Wang compare to this official now?" Don't mistake Sister Yu for life. ”

Father Cheng said with a smile: "Li Zhongshu really wants to listen? First, marrying Lord Wang is the main room, and sending it to Li Zhongshu is a partial room, which cannot be said in the same way. ”

"Second, Lord Wang is a scholar, born as a Jinshi, and Li Zhongshu heard that he was only born as a servant?"

"Third, Lord Wang and I are fellow villagers. Li Zhongshu is a native of the south, if he returns to Jiangnan in the future, won't the daughter of her husband and me be separated from each other? ”

"Fourth, Lord Wang is clean and self-conscious, and there is no concubine so far. Master Li's surname is romantic, so I can't let go of my heart. ”

Are there really so many? Li You was full of contempt and was not mentally prepared to hear this, and he couldn't refute it for a while, not to mention that these things were also facts, he only considered it from his own point of view, and he didn't think about others, so he couldn't think of it. But no one can give Cheng Xiaoniang to the enemy, so he had to forcibly sneer: "Wang Qinian is no different from a white body now, and he is also worthy of being compared with this official." ”

"Li Zhongshu is a fortunate minister in the end, such a person often rises and falls suddenly, rises and falls, and it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future. Although Lord Wang has no official position now, as long as he passes this period of limelight, he can find a position to be an official in peace. ”

Li You wondered, just with Daddy Cheng's mouth, can he still live to this day after being assigned to the army? He had no choice but to find another way and said to Wang Qinian: "Where is the Wenxuan Si Zuolang, let me say a few words for you, what do you think?" "As long as this villain exposes his face of selling his fiancée for the sake of seeking officials, then there is something to say.

"No, I can't trust you." Wang Qinian's words were heartfelt. For Lord Li's real surname, he still sees it very thoroughly, Li's bait is absolutely poisonous, and whoever eats it is a fool.

It is said that Wang Qinian has not married since he lost his wife two years ago, and he planned to find a helpful official house, but there was no suitable one for a while, but now that the situation has changed, it is estimated that no one in the court will marry him for the time being. Although the Cheng family has no power or power, they have at least more than 1,000 salt leads, worth nearly 10,000 yuan, and they can move some of them to go out to fight joints in the future, so it is a good choice for him at the moment.

Of course, Father Cheng is also very satisfied with Wang Qinian, and it is not easy for a businessman like him to find a chance to marry a ready-made official eunuch. As for Wang Qinian's betrayal of the division commander and being despised by the officialdom, in his eyes, he is just a king and a loser, and there is a reason to lose money and make money in business. At this time, it can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow.

Although Cheng Xiaoniang is sometimes very naïve, she is not a cowardly person in the teaching department, and she stepped forward to bow to Li You and said: "Brother Wang has waited for the slave family for two years, and the slave family must not bear him." So I really have to live up to Lord Li's good intentions. ”

Silly girl, is he waiting for you... Li You was speechless. He suddenly found himself in the vast sea of the people and became an out-and-out loner. There was no one present. Needless to say, Qin Sile, Daddy Cheng understood himself as soon as he arrived in the capital, and it must be Qin Sile who blew the wind. On his side, even Wang Shi is pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Master Li counted a few more heads, if he wanted to rob the people's daughter, in the situation where the other party unexpectedly had two more people, the manpower brought was obviously not enough. If he wants to make a comeback, he is afraid that he will leave, and tonight the Cheng and Wang families will immediately have raw rice and cooked rice.

It's a bit of a dilemma... At this moment of stalemate, several people rushed in from outside the hospital, and the majestic leader was Li Zhongshu's acquaintance - Wang Yannu, the housekeeper of the Elder Princess's Mansion of Guide.

I don't think I'm a thief, and I'm weak Li You was taken aback, Lin Yuma was eating flowers and wine not far from here, which annoyed Guide Chitose, and was beaten by Wang Yannu on the street, could it be that today I am also honored to have this experience? This news is also well informed, who reported the news?

Wang Yannu broke into the hospital, glanced at the audience, and was quite surprised when she found Li You also standing in it, and she was very suspicious. But thinking about it, she pressed her suspicions and said loudly: "On the orders of the eldest princess of the royal family, Chitose, I invited Cheng's daughter, idle people, etc., who is Cheng Saiyu?" ”

It's really nonsense, there is only one woman in the field, Cheng Xiaoniang, but Wang Yannu asks like this. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the princess messenger who suddenly appeared meant.

Cheng Xiaoniang said timidly: "The slave family is exactly. ”

Wang Yannu nodded and said: "I heard that Cheng Sai is full of jade color and art, and the eldest princess of Guide has summoned you to the mansion to perform, so leave immediately!" ”

What the? Li You was shocked, Guide Chitose is also a person who knows the inside story, does he think of the same thing as himself? Annihilation is annihilation, but there are some things that cannot be compromised.

Besides, Cheng Xiaoniang entered the princess's mansion, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, he didn't have the courage to go to the domineering eldest princess and concubine... Today's yellow calendar is not right, not only do you have to compete with men for women, but I didn't expect to compete with women for women.

Rather than staying until then to face the eldest princess, Lord Li would rather grasp the moment to face Wang Yannu. So he stubbornly stepped forward to block Cheng Xiaoniang, and said to Wang Yannu: "Miss Cheng has recovered from the dust and restored her good family, and His Royal Highness Chitose has categorically no reason to summon her to perform, which will damage her woman's virtue!" ”

Wang Yannu knew the relationship between Guide Chitose and Li You, and when she saw this, her suspicions became even heavier, and her eyebrows gradually rose.
