The wife of the British Gong Xiao Fan is happy!

This news dropped another bomb on the newly calm Jingshi, and the entire Jingshi shook.

Xiao Fan's current status is noble, it can be said that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, under one person, above tens of thousands of people, the title of the Duke of England ranks first among all the dukes, such a high position, everyone's eyes are on him, paying attention to who will inherit the most prominent title since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Fan is only in his early twenties now, if he chooses an heir, of course, it is still early, but the ancients have always been accustomed to taking precautions, and only then can they settle people's hearts, from the emperor to the folk family, whether it is Confucian morality, or folk customs, inheritance is always the most important, it can unite the cohesion of a collective and a family, the role of the heir, in the officialdom and the court plays a role in stabilizing everything, the country without the prince, the people's hearts are uncertain, and there is no heir to the British duke, which also makes those annihilators have no sense of security.

Now among Xiao Fan's four wives, Princess Jiangdu is the first to be happy, which is simply an exciting good news for the annihilation party.

Princess Jiangdu is the eldest princess, when today's sister, in terms of bloodline and ranking, the child in the belly of Princess Jiangdu will undoubtedly inherit everything from the British duke, title, family property, and more importantly, decades later, Xiao Fan retired from the court, and the position of the leader of the Korean and Chinese annihilation party will also fall on his shoulders. This is the rule, this is the inheritance, passed down from generation to generation, endlessly.

When the imperial doctor broke his pulse and determined that Jiang Duxi was happy, before the person left the gate of Xiao Mansion, the news had already flown out like wings.

That night, Cao Yi and Yuan Zhong of Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division were the first to come to the door to congratulate.

Then, the members of the annihilation party, Ru Yu, Yu Xin, Xie Jin, Qi Tai, Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu, the representatives of the meritorious service, the generals in the army during the counterinsurgency, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Qu Neng, etc., as well as many civil officials who had a good impression of Xiao Fan, such as Fang Xiaoru, Chen Di, Lian Zining, etc., batch after batch of ministers rushed to the Xiao Mansion like a market, and one load after another of gifts were sent into the treasury of the Xiao Mansion.

There are more and more people congratulating, Xiao Fan gave an order, Xiao Mansion opened the middle door for the first time, welcomed guests from all over the world, and collected money from all sides, Chen Yinger urgently transferred the chef master chef of all the restaurants of the Chen family into the mansion, the front yard, the middle hall, the back garden, all the open space was put on the banquet, exquisite dishes, mellow wine, and served the table like a stream under the hands of the maids of Xiao Mansion.

Seeing that there were more and more people entering the mansion to congratulate him, Xiao Fan was also a little surprised, the child was still not visible, these ministers seemed to have seen the child fall to the ground with their own eyes, and they came one after another, everyone behaved like this...... Isn't that an exaggeration?

In fact, this is also Xiao Fan's self-esteem, with his current powerful position, the princes in the capital who have cut the feudal domain are not comparable to him, although he only holds the power of Jinyiwei, but his position in the heart of the Son of Heaven is like a brother, the ministers are not blind, who does not know that the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Xiao Fan is so close that they only wear a pair of pants, the state affairs of the imperial court, as long as Xiao Fan has a mouth, including the Son of Heaven, no one dares to take his words as child's play, to say something vulgar, Xiao Fan stomps his feet, and the whole world will tremble.

After such a powerful minister, who can't rush to congratulate? One step behind is a matter of attitude, who knows what this grandfather will think?

There is a very important reason why the ministers are so active in congratulating them, now Ji Gang has made the entire Beijing Division angry and resentful, relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven to do nonsense, the ministers dare not speak out, the only one in the entire court who can govern Ji Gang is only this grandfather, everyone is staring at Xiao Fan, waiting for him to make a move, if this master is not comfortable, what if people are not willing to make a move? Wouldn't everyone have to continue to live in misery?

The Xiao Mansion was boiling in the sky, the flow of people was crowded, the red lanterns illuminated the entire mansion as bright as day, the ministers greeted each other with a happy face, and the officials above the fourth grade in Beijing, as well as the dukes and counts came a lot, and this pomp can almost be regarded as a big court meeting.

Xiao Fan, Cao Yi, and Yuan Zhong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

I'm the one who wants to have a son, so why do these guys seem happier than me? Look at this mess...... Xiao Fan piled up a smile for a while, and Suo surnamed Cao Yi stood at the gate to greet the guests, not only hiding quietly, but also giving people a good impression of being polite and polite.

Cao Yi turned his head to look at the crowded mansion, then pursed his lips and said with a smile: "What's wrong with these ministers?" In the past, when you first entered the court, those people were eager to skin you and cramp, but now it's good, your wife has just broken off the joy, and they rushed to recognize your brother one by one......"

Xiao Fan sneered, and then said with a straight face: "Brother Cao, your mouth is really bad, be careful to be heard by them, these guys are not very good-tempered, they will really skin you and cramp......"

Cao Yi sneered: "Lao Tzu really can't see the faces of these people, enemies are enemies, friends are friends, you officials in the court, today are enemies, tomorrow you are friends, the relationship is dazzling, one by one, you don't look like a madman, like a madman......"

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "It's not that there is no score, but the interests determine friends and enemies, yesterday it was contrary to their interests, I and them are enemies, never die, now if it is in line with their interests, and they are prosperous, then I and them are friends, closer than brothers, in this quagmire, there are no eternal friends, there are no eternal enemies, between profits and interests, the relationship between friends and enemies is constantly changing, this is officialdom, interests determine everything." ”

Cao Yi thought for a while and shook his head resolutely: "I don't understand!" ”

"It's good if you don't understand, people who understand this are generally not a good thing......"

Jiang Duxi news also flew into the palace that night, the Han general on duty learned the news from the crack in the palace gate, hurriedly rushed into the palace, reported to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen heard the great news, and planned to leave the palace with a piece of clothing, and the royal driver came to Xiao Mansion to visit his sister, but it was already Hai, and the palace gate had been locked. The Han general refused to open the door, and Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he jumped in the palace, but he had no choice but to pass the decree through the palace gate to reward the British Gong Xiao Fan with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred horses of silk, a hundred years of ginseng and countless other precious medicinal materials.

The holy decree of the reward was transmitted to the Xiao Mansion, and the ministers who were eating and drinking in the mansion suddenly boiled again, and the Son of Heaven's holy favor to the British Duke was evident from this.

After sending off the Han general, Xiao Fan still stood in front of the mansion to greet the guests.

My wife has just become pregnant, and the commotion is not small, the boy born by Jiang Du Ruo in the future may be bigger than the scene today, even if it is a girl, it is also the county lord that Zhu Yunwen has already determined, all in all, the child in Jiang Du's belly has not yet taken shape, and its wealth and glory have been destined early, and he will not be poor in this life.

It was almost late at night, the people of Xiao Mansion came and went, and there was jubilation up and down, and the British Duke, who only wanted to be low-key, had to once again become the focus of attention of the Beijing Division and even the world.

While the Xiao Mansion was in a bustle, Ji Gang and Yu Shi Jingqing slowly entered the city with a few entourage guards.

Because of the good fart, Zhu Yunwen handed over the matter of the draft to Ji Gang to deal with, Ji Gang naturally did not dare to slack off, in addition to blackmailing and robbing all over the world and repaying the 100,000 taels of silver owed to Xiao Fan, the only thing to do is to search for beauties everywhere and find a little wife for Zhu Yunwen in a down-to-earth manner.

Today, Ji Gang went to Suzhou Mansion, Jiangnan girls are out of Suzhou and Hangzhou, of course Suzhou must go to see, busy for two days, and now just returned to Beijing.

"My lord, these two have gained a lot, Jiangnan girls really live up to their reputation, if there are ten points of beauty in the world, Suzhou and Hangzhou have seven points......" Jing Qing stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed into two slits.

Ji Gang also smiled and nodded: "Yes, the more than 20 beauties selected by the Suzhou prefect are all national colors and fragrances, if they are sent to the palace, the Son of Heaven will be very happy, and in the future, they will have a place in the harem......"

Jing Qing glanced at Ji Gang and said with a smile: "These beauties are personally selected by adults to enter the palace, if they are favored by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will inevitably appreciate the adults more and more, those beauties will one day become phoenixes on the branches, and they must also be grateful for the merit of the adults leading into the palace, and the status of the adults in the hearts of the Son of Heaven will become higher and higher......

Ji Gang shook his head again and again and said a few words modestly, but the corners of his mouth were grinning, and the smug look on his face couldn't be concealed.

The two walked along the wide bluestone street of Jingshi, Jing Qing rolled his eyes, waved his hand to send the guards behind him away, and then approached Ji Gang's ear and said softly: "Xia Guan today accompanied the adult in the Suzhou Mansion draft, and accidentally saw the adult's gaze lingering on a woman in green for a long time, well, that woman, surnamed Liu, right?" ”

Ji Gang's face changed, he glanced at Jing Qing, and his gaze immediately became a falcon.

"What do you mean by this?"

Jing Qing was stared at by Ji Gang's gloomy gaze, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, the lower officials are loyal to adults, and this heart can be said to be the moon!" My lord, let the official say something rebellious, since the adult likes the woman surnamed Liu,...... Why not? ”

Ji Gang was startled, hurriedly looked around, and then lowered his voice and said angrily: "Jingqing, are you crazy? Any idea what you're talking about? ”

The draft is for the Son of Heaven, if one of those women is privately detained for his own use, this is a big crime of the Jiu clan, Ji Gang really likes the girl surnamed Liu, and he didn't think about bringing her into the house privately, but when he thought of the serious consequences of this incident, Ji Gang no longer dared to beat her idea.

is the same as the surname of the Son of Heaven who robbed his wife, and the surname of the birthday star who eats arsenic, Ji Gang has not lived enough, and he does not dare to fight this crooked idea of losing his head.

Jingqing was helped to the position by Ji Gang, and he was heart-wrenching for this benefactor, and he just wanted to repay him well.

"My lord, this matter is not impossible, as long as you send a confidant to Suzhou Mansion, intercept the girl surnamed Liu halfway, and then find a mediocre woman from the people to impersonate it, after the matter is completed, the confidant will be eliminated, the number of names is not wrong, the prefect of Suzhou will not know, the palace will not know, God knows this matter, you know I know, the adult's mansion is unique to the secluded building, the golden house is hidden, and when you enjoy the merry life, who will know the origin of this woman?"

Ji Gang's brain exploded, and the whole person froze, as if he had been struck by thunder.

Jing Qing's words were like opening a magic box and releasing the devil inside, dangerous, but tempting.

If you do what Jing Qing says, this thing may really be seamless, and no one will find out, if you get tired of playing with that woman in the future, you will kill her with a knife, and bury it in a random field, and this matter will just be treated as if it never happened.

Of course, Ji Gang is not a fool, he knows very well that in addition to slapping his ass, what is more important is that he wants to hold each other's handles, and really tie the interests of the two to the same boat, no one can get off this thief boat, and his surname is similar to the name of the grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king.

But...... After all, this is a great sin of the Nine Clans!

Ji Gang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he fell into a painful struggle.

When I thought of that Miss Liu's stunning face and her figure, if she was pressed under her and rubbed and sprinted wantonly, what would it be like to eat the bones...... Jing Qing saw Ji Gang's white face and knew the hesitation in his heart at this moment, so he half-bowed down, with a strange smile on his face, and waited for Ji Gang to make a decision without saying a word.

After a long time, Ji Gang glanced at him, and his eyes were already covered with red bloodshots, revealing a sense of madness. After a glance, Ji Gang walked away without saying a word.

But Jingqing understood the meaning of this gaze very well, and immediately arched his hand behind Ji Gang and said, "The lower official must have arranged it properly for the adults!" ”

decided this major event that fell off the heads of the whole family, and Ji Gang's heart was relaxed for a while.

The crazy growth of power breeds his **, what is the purpose of being an official? Money, beauty, and now that he has power, why can't he use the power in his hands to get the beauty he wants? After getting that beauty into the house to play with it for a while, she will kill and bury it with a knife, and who will find out if you don't know it?

A smile full of silver desire appeared on Ji Gang's face, the smile disappeared, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Jing Qing saw that Ji Gang's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Gang covered his stomach and said in a deep voice: "At noon, the Suzhou prefect held a banquet, and he may have eaten a bad stomach......

"Let's find a convenient place to ......"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a burst of people in front of me, and the lanterns and torches illuminated the surroundings.

Ji Gang was overjoyed: "Whose house is in front of you, and it is so lively late at night?" No matter, let's borrow his thatched house first......"

Saying that, Ji Gang hurriedly walked away, Jing Qing stared at it for a while, and his face couldn't help but change: "Adults and slow ......"

Ji Gang didn't listen, lifted the hem of his shirt, and stepped forward quickly.

Xiao Fan, who was standing in front of the mansion to greet the guests, was greeting the ministers of Beijing with a smile and a steady stream of ministers, watching a load of gifts carried into the mansion, Xiao Fan's heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The treasury is full again, and it is a big surprise that my wife can still generate income for the family when she is pregnant.

Xiao Fan decided that these sons would work the other three ladies, and only if they were pregnant with children, the gifts would come like a landslide and tsunami...... Tsk, make a fortune!

Zhengmei was thinking wishful thinking, and the figure in front of him flickered, and a burly man stood in front of him.

"Borrow your thatch...... Yes! Be...... It's you? Ji Gang was shocked and took a step back.

Xiao Fan looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Master Ji is here too?" Haha, you're welcome, you're so polite......"

Ji Gang's face was darker than the night of Jingshi: "............"

Looking up at the black plaque above his head that read "The British Mansion", Ji Gang now wanted to slap himself hard.

It's so good to die, why did you just run to his house? The big night is so lively, there is a happy event in his family?

When Ji Gang was shocked and uncertain, Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Lord Ji came to the cold house, my country's father-in-law is very pleased, but it is just a small matter, and I actually congratulate my colleagues in Beijing, so to give face, my country's father-in-law is really panicked, Lord Ji, you ...... Well? You came alone? ”

Seeing Ji Gang's empty hands, Xiao Fan was suddenly a little displeased, he had been an official for so long, and he lived to the belly of a dog at an age? Is there any reason to come to the door empty-handed to congratulate?

Ji Gang was dumbfounded: "I...... Xiaguan ......"

It turned out that his wife was pregnant...... As for making such a big show?

A few days ago, in order to make up enough 100,000 taels of silver, Ji Gang extorted money all over the world, and only then did he pay back the unjust money, and now the family is poor, now look at this situation,...... Want to send it again?

Ji Gang had a strong urge to cry...... Xiao Fan smiled: "Haha, it doesn't matter, the gift has not arrived, and the gift list is the same, the national government has always regarded money as dung, I believe that Lord Ji must have a deep understanding ......of this, come and come, the family has prepared a little thin wine, all the adults gathered together, today it is said that if you are not drunk, you don't have to worry about the gift, the national government will send a few people to your house to carry it later."

"Grandpa Guo, it's not like this......" Ji Gang's face turned white, and he stammered to explain.

"What is it that way or not? Without further ado, let's go, go in and have a good drink! Xiao Fan didn't intend to give him a chance to explain.

"Grandpa Guo, the lower official...... Xia Guan didn't know at all, Xia Guan just borrowed ......"

Xiao Fan couldn't help but say, stretched out his arm and hooked Ji Gang's neck, and Ji Gang staggered involuntarily towards the house.

"Came to my door in the middle of the night, didn't you come to congratulate, did you come to borrow a thatched house? Don't talk nonsense, go! Xiao Fan laughed.

…………………… Ji Gang staggered a few steps, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Grandpa Guo,...... Xia Guan is really here to borrow a thatched house! ”

Xiao Fan pushed Ji Gang in and said angrily: "You are so funny! ”

Ji Gang: "............"

"Master Ji, the prince of my country is happy, why are you crying?"

“…………”
