"Qinglong, Mingtang, Jinkui, Tiande, Yutang, and Si Ming Six Star Monarch are worth saying, this is a good time for everything!" Zhejiang Governor Cai Tai was dressed in civilian clothes, and received Su Song Governor Liang Wenru in the Hangzhou Governor Yamen Flower Hall, accompanied by Cai Tai's friend Hu Jingshui, this old Hu is also famous for his Jinshi merits, and it is not rude to accompany the two governors, not to mention that there is a Ming Dynasty, the staff is quite powerful, and many times the two officials of the Yamen have to look at the faces of the officials' friends, such as Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang, when he was the friend of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, even if he was the prefect of a prefecture, he had to accompany him with a smiling face.

Liang Wenru expressed his word love, Jiajing was born in the early years of Jinshi, this person looks ancient, and sees the cheeks behind his head, if he says from the photo book, this is a very greedy face, and the strange thing is that this Liang lord is an official who worships the right and the imperial history, is an out-and-out clear stream, and the governor should be in the sky. The authority of the governor of Yingtian is very heavy, because Suzhou and Songjiang are the richest and most prosperous places under his rule, so there is an unwritten habit called the governor of Susong, and because the government is in Suzhou Mansion, also known as the governor of Suzhou, but the jurisdiction is Su, Song, Tai, Chang and other ten prefectures, the weight of authority, one of the best in the world.

While talking, Mrs. Cai's concubine Zhao Jiuniang walked over and offered fragrant tea, Liang Wenru was stroking his belly, and when he saw the beauty coming to serve tea, he quickly sat up straight and respectfully took the fragrant tea, "I'm tired of the little junior sister." As he spoke, he lifted the tea lid and covered it lightly, but his nose was full of the fragrance of tea, and he couldn't help but say, "The little junior sister inherited the teacher's tea art, and Yuheng is really blessed." ”

Nineteen Niang is also in her thirties, in terms of age, are half-old, but she has a rich family background, she is full of poetry and books, and she has never suffered, Governor Cai is afraid of blowing on her head, holding it in her hand for fear of covering it, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, that is really a daughter, so she looks like she is only in her twenties, although she is not the kind of beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower, but she is graceful and introverted, and when she heard the words, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Senior Brother Liang is still so good at talking." She spoke a mouthful of Beizhili official dialect, and her tongue was curled, which was very different from the soft and glutinous Wu Nong in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and naturally had a sense of temperament.

Mrs. Cai coughed and said, "Nineteen Niang, Brother Ziai is not an outsider, so you can sit with me for a while and help me with the staff." ”

Mrs. Cai and Liang Wenru were the same person, this old gentleman was involved in the Yan Song case in the last years of Jiajing, and the situation was very miserable, at that time, Mrs. Cai and Liang Wenru were not so high-ranking and powerful now, so they had to secretly rescue the teacher's daughter, and then this Zhao Jiuniang married Mrs. Cai as a concubine, in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and now both of them are in high positions, sometimes secretly but also fighting, Liang Wenru also has ideas, mud horse, Cai Yuheng, you said that you look like a sharp-mouthed monkey, where is I so rich, Why did my sister marry you as a concubine, but it wasn't me.

Therefore, the two people are not close, but as the saying goes, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, in the customs of the civil official system of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between these two people can be said to be closer than brothers.

And Zhao Jiuniang married Mrs. Cai as a concubine, and there was an official to ask, isn't this nonsense, the teacher's daughter actually married as a concubine. There is a saying here, one, the daughter of the criminal official, once she becomes a wife, she will be ordered by the imperial court, to put it bluntly, you have to check your ancestors for eight generations, although it is said that the head of the upper hall of the Wenren clan was also born by the five-grade order, but that is the order of the military general's family, and it is an idle job, worthless, and the wife of the governor of a province, there are only a few in the whole world, which cannot be covered up at all, unless the case of the old man of her family can be removed, but that is not equivalent to slapping Emperor Jiajing in the face, so it is impossible at all.

This second, there is another one who said, like Mrs. Cai, it is impossible for a wife to be with her, but a concubine can follow the master to take office, to use a common saying, that is, the wife is widowed at home, the junior is happy with the man outside, and some of the officials in other places have not returned home for more than ten years, this is normal, the wife at the head of the family said something unpleasant, and she couldn't even smell the smell of men, so she could only rely on purple eggplant and carrots to solve the problem, and boiled it into old tofu, where was she like Nineteen Niang, she was pampered and watered, and her skin was as moist as water.

Therefore, the women of the Ming Dynasty have a little Jiujiu in their hearts, don't be proud if you are a lady, you may not have your good son, and you will not be disappointed to be a concubine, and you will always be happy.

Therefore, in Daming, there is no such thing as preferring to be a commoner's wife rather than a noble concubine, and a commoner's wife must be happy? I'm afraid it's not necessarily, but being the concubine of the official lord is a stable rich man who can't run away.

Like Nineteen Niang, although she is a concubine, she can be the master of most of her own master, and the only regret may be that her belly does not move, but as the daughter of Mrs. Cai's teacher, even if she does not give birth to a son, she will basically not be wronged in this life, but she is happy.

After taking two sips of tea, Liang Wenru put down the teacup, first coughed, and then said slowly: "This Guozhang has become the Governor of the Zuodu Mansion of the Five Armies of Nanjing, according to it, you and I should go to congratulate you, however, you and I are in a dangerous position, and I don't know how many people in the world are staring at it, and going directly to the Guozhang will inevitably fall into the mouth, Yuheng, don't hide it from you, I'm also thinking, today is only double ten, and Concubine De Niangniang is only double eight years, sitting in the position of you and me, the trick is nothing more than figuring out the intention, but, how to save a face, But he is very learned. ”

Mrs. Cai said yes again and again, Brother Zi Ai was far-sighted, but she scolded in her heart, mud horse, after talking for a long time, there was no useful word, the old man didn't understand these truths? Do you need to mention something? You ran through Hangzhou, did I really think you were coming to see me? Or is it to see Nineteen Niang? It's nothing more than wanting to go up to the follicles of the country's grandfather, but I can't find an excuse.

And Hu Jingshui knew about his owner and the governor of Yingtian, but he didn't say much, so he sat in his seat and drank tea, as if this tea was a delicacy of the fairy, and it could bring out the taste of ginseng fruit.

The two of them talked nonsense for a long time, and before they got to the point, Mrs. Cai became more and more angry, and couldn't help but make her words clear, "Brother Ziai, don't talk to me about what you have, the teacher praised you back then, saying that your talent is a little higher than mine, but you can tell me, how can you get into the eyes of the national abbot?" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say this, as soon as he says this, Liang Wenru will come to the fire,, you also know that Lao Tzu's talent is higher than yours, so why did you accept the little sister as a concubine back then, why didn't you brother and brother Gong, and give it away?

Therefore, he immediately said with a cold face: "That's for my brother to put his mind on learning, unlike you, who thinks about drilling camps all day long......"

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Cai immediately jumped up, where do you care about the style of the governor of Zhejiang, "Liang Wenru, lying on the mud horse, you have to speak with your conscience!" At the beginning, you said that you were going to ascend to the right of the imperial history, but there was no silver, it was Lao Tzu who scraped the ground and scraped it three feet high, and gave you 30,000 taels of silver with white flowers, but Lao Tzu was a ginseng, and the official was also lost, and even with Nineteen Niang, he also suffered some hardships......"

Liang Wenru suddenly blushed, in this era, people with comparable status do not call the table words and call their names directly, which is quite an insult, he naturally wants to jump to his feet, and when he pulled his clothes, he blushed and shouted thickly: "How did the old man ever ask you to scrape the ground and scrape the sky three feet high?" Besides, you have only been dismissed for three months, didn't the old man find a way for you to recover, how did you come to be the governor of Zhejiang? It's not that the old man dredged you around, the old man's clear face has been lost for you......"

"Get out of your father's clear stream, if you are a clear stream, where will the way come from? If you are Qingliu, can you afford two houses in Suzhou Mansion? If you are Qingliu, at the end of last year, you accepted the fifth concubine, where did you get the money? Mrs. Cai rolled up her sleeves, no different from the idlers on the street, spitting everywhere, pointing at Liang Wenru and scolding, "The most annoying thing is that your little five looks like nineteen mothers, and I am not wrong about what I said?" "This is the most fundamental reason why he took the opportunity to attack, mud horse, Liang Wenru, you old thing, everyone has been a brother for so many years, what do you mean?

Zhao Jiuniang next to her suddenly turned crimson, from her cheeks to her neck, while Hu Jingshui was restless, although he was Mrs. Cai's confidant, he actually knew vaguely about the things Mrs. Cai said, but it was too embarrassing to say it so directly.

Trembling with his mouth, Liang Wenru twisted up an official finger, which is the two fingers in the food and the thumb buckle the other two fingers, which is called the sword finger in martial arts.

He pinched his official fingers and pointed at Mrs. Cai tremblingly, "You, you, you ......" You have been for a long time, but you can't say a word because of your purple face, or Nineteen Niang, in the end, she has known the two since childhood, no matter what Liang Wenru says, she is also her senior brother, so he picked up the tea bowl and handed it to him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took a breath, glared at Mrs. Cai fiercely, drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, and put the tea cup on the table, with a crisp sound.

"The old man is too lazy to care about your, the old man is here this time, he is going to Ningbo to propose to my son, the old man heard that there is a Wang Jue in Ningbo Mansion, the ancestor is also a Beijing official, and he gave birth to seven daughters like flowers and jade, women's appearance, women's virtues, women's words, women's merits are all the best choices, especially the eldest daughter, is in the year of marriage, my son just needs a good daughter-in-law to take care of it......" He hummed and said, and then came to a sentence, "There is no need to send each other." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"Old horseman, he was hit by a carriage when he went out." Mrs. Cai is still angry, lying on the mud horse, it's not a thing, you actually married a concubine who looks like Nineteen Niang, where do you want to go to the old man? Do you want to give the old man's official hat a layer of green color?

Nineteen Niang's eyes rolled, and she laughed out loud, and then reached out and pulled his clothes for him, "Okay, okay, master, you and your senior brother have also been friends for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a friend of life and death, don't be annoyed by some trivial things." ”

"The ghost is a friend of life and death with him." Mrs. Cai is still blushing and having a thick neck, this Daming is not like Europa after all, in Europa, the wives of the nobles are remembered, which is a considerable degree of praise, proving that his wife is attractive, but in Daming, there is a saying called the hatred of killing the father and taking the wife, this worry about other people's wives is close to the hatred of taking the wife, Cai is not angry, then it is strange, "This old horseman, what is the bone-eyed, and he is still worried about his unsuccessful son, I bah." ”

As he spoke, he spat hatefully on the ground.

pursing her lips and smiling, Nineteen Niang said: "Master, you have wronged your senior brother, didn't he mention you!" Saying that, seeing that his master still didn't understand, he continued to say: "Master, didn't you say that Guozhang also has relatives in Ningbo?" It is said that there is a wife and sister in Ningbo, and the person who married is still famous in Ningbo, has seven daughters, and is known as the father of the seven fairies......"

As soon as she mentioned this, Mrs. Cai suddenly realized, so that's the case, what this old man wants is to get a relative with the national father, then he will become a relative of Concubine De, a relative of Concubine De, isn't it a relative of the emperor.

"This old horseman, it turned out that this was the idea." He was a little frustrated, no wonder the teacher said that he was a little higher than me, but he was happy again in an instant, don't look at your dancing, Nineteen Niang married the old man, not you Liang Wenru, thinking of this, I couldn't help it, the old man chatted about juvenile madness, hugged Nineteen Niang and kissed the fat mouth, "Nineteen Niang, I have a heart, or you are smart......"

Zhao Jiuniang's face was flushed, and she struggled away, "Master." "Mrs. Cai just woke up, this Hu Youhu Jingshui is still beside her! smiled at the moment and said, "Jingshui is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter." ”

Hu Jingshui arched his hand embarrassedly, "Dong Weng is polite, and the second grandmother is really smart." ”

Mrs. Cai let go of Nineteen Niang's hand, sat down on the Taishi chair, and then asked: "Jingshui, tell me, Liang Ziai's old man has found a way, but what are we doing?" ”

Hu Jingshui coughed dryly, and said in his heart that people have already come up with the idea for you, but I can't say this idea, it's best to say it through the mouth of the second grandmother. So he shook his head, Dong Weng, the student is stupid, but for a while he didn't have any good ideas.

glanced at Hu Jingshui with a smile, and Nineteen Niang glanced at Mrs. Cai, "Master, why did you forget?" Don't we have a body to be married! ”

Mrs. Cai's wife gave birth to a daughter for him, and now he can marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, when he heard Nineteen Niang say this, he immediately frowned, "This, I'm afraid it's not good!" I heard that Uncle Xiaoguo is only fourteen years old after the New Year, and he looks like Elder Tang is reincarnated, I'm afraid people don't look down on our girl! ”

"Master, I'm crazy again!" Nineteen Niang couldn't help but reach out and tug his beard, Cai Taihe didn't think it was angry, Hu Jingshui looked at his nose and nose and heart, but he didn't see it, he was thinking in his heart, color is empty, empty is color.

As the saying goes, there are good wives and husbands in the family who will not suffer from misfortune, Nineteen Niang is from a beautiful background, and she can help her master come up with ideas from time to time, her defect is an identity barrier, and it is not good to follow the master at any time, otherwise Hu Jingshui may not have a future.

"The old man came back a few days ago, didn't say that the Zhong guerrilla is now climbing to the high branches, and the uncle of the small country cut the head of the chicken and burned the yellow paper to worship the brothers, and the wealth is unspeakable...... "Nineteen Niang also recognized Zhong Guerrilla, when Zhongli robbed the road, it was Cai Tai and Nineteen Niang, and the Nineteen Niang was very impressed by this green forest bandit.

"Zhongli?" Mrs. Cai shook her head suddenly, "It's not proper, let's not say that he is a military general, and then say that he is in his early thirties." ”

Although Zhongli is his number one favorite general, this does not mean that he can afford to be a military general as a civil official, let alone marry his daughter to the other party!

"What's wrong in your early thirties?" Nineteen Niang immediately sneered, "When the old man married me, it didn't seem to be small!" ”

Mrs. Cai was immediately embarrassed when she heard this, and he smiled, "Nineteen Niang, this, we are childhood sweethearts...... No, I've known each other since childhood......" He changed a few words, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he scratched his ears and cheeks a little, Nineteen Niang was funny, and reached out and dragged his hand down, "Master, the slave thought that the sky had fallen, and it was the master who pulled the slave back from hell, not to mention that the master was still a year of beating, even if the master was over eighty, the slave was willing." ”

This is why Liang Wenru lost to Mrs. Cai in the love field, Liang Wenru himself said, Mrs. Cai's mind is on the drill camp, when he stammered with the teacher, he naturally spared no effort to the teacher's daughter, and was willing to put down his body to play with the little girl, you must know that he was a dignified person at that time, and the folk regarded him as a character who was inferior to the Wenqu star, and where was Liang Wenru willing to put down his body to do this kind of thing, this is the [small] word in the secret of the eternal pickle girl [Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian], he was careful and considerate, and he naturally came to the catch.

"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color." Below, Hu Jingshui lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, reciting the Diamond Sutra in his heart.

"Master, the prince of the country is from the cold, there is no one who has to be used, he will inevitably use the people close to him, you say, the sworn brother of the little uncle, will Concubine De be of great use? I won't say what the general army or the like, I can't keep it even, that is a Jinyi guard commander, no one can say for sure about this thing, but it must be of great use, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Taiyue has gone down, now he is in power, the queen is out, if it is said that the queen concubine gives birth to the prince...... "Zhao Jiuniang told the story, these are nothing more than what is written in the newspaper, but smart people can see the fame from it.

"Now that Zhong guerrilla is still your close love general, and you Jane pulled it out, and I will always miss your good in the future, but this thing of affection is always used less and less, and if he really becomes an official like the commander of the Jinyi Guard, if you want to marry a woman to someone else, people will also consider it." Zhao Jiuniang patiently explained to her master, "Even if you can't be a commander, just by virtue of his relationship with Uncle Xiaoguo, can't you also talk to Uncle Xiaoguo?" Talking to the national master, isn't that equivalent to climbing up to Concubine De Niangniang and entering today's eyes? After a long time, it may not be impossible to peek into the position of the elder of the pavilion! ”

Cai Tai was shocked, and subconsciously, he turned his head and asked Hu Jingshui, "Jingshui, what do you see?" ”

Hu Jingshui recited the Diamond Sutra, and as soon as he called out, he immediately nodded, "The second grandmother has a family history, and she can see everything clearly, and the students are ashamed of themselves." As he spoke, he made an embarrassed expression and rubbed his hands together, as if he was embarrassed.

Hearing Hu Jingshui say the same, Mrs. Cai suddenly slapped the eight immortals table beside her, and the tea cup on the table jumped high, "Okay, then it's decided, let's marry our daughter to Zhongli, I just hope that this kid will not be ungrateful, and remember the old man's good." ”

"Dong Weng is wise." Hu Jingshui hurriedly patted his ass, "That Zhongli is Dong Weng Jian Ba and the green forest, Dong Weng is Bole to him!" As the saying goes, Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have, if he knows, he will be grateful to Dade. ”

Zhongli, who was thousands of miles away, must never have dreamed that his lifelong wish to marry a young lady from an official eunuch family would soon come true, and he was also the daughter of a provincial governor.

At this time, in Ningbo Taohuawu, the Zheng family was busy and was busy receiving angels. The family is full of joy, those slaves laughed in private and their mouths were cracked to the root of their ears, who would have thought that their own family was sold to a rich and noble family, first felt that the master family was good, the lord was kind, the aunt was graceful, and the little young master was a famous man for a while, I never thought that just after the New Year, the big news came, saying that the young lady was promoted to the concubine in the palace.

God, grandpa, this is a relative of the emperor! We are also the ancestors who burned high incense, I didn't see the old man so calm a person, that day I heard that the young lady was a concubine, didn't she also chuckle, and immediately fainted in phlegm.

Like this kind of news, it is definitely impossible to hide it, but it is not good for Mrs. Cai and others to go directly to tell Zheng Liancheng, saying, Oh, Lao Zheng, your daughter is now a concubine, a good daughter you gave birth to!

Therefore, when I got the news, it was a few days ago, the Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Jiugong personally came to visit, and then said this, at that time, the Zheng family was not there except Zheng Guofan and Datou, there was no shortage, even Dong Qichang came back from his hometown, and was complaining about why the obedient official did not come back, as a result, the Nanjing garrison eunuch came to the door and took Zheng Liancheng's hand for a while.

You must know that sitting in Nanjing to guard the eunuch, that is already a terrible person, and he is indeed qualified to hold hands with the national abbot, not to say that he wants to call himself a slave, the Nanjing garrison eunuch is in Yingtianfu, that is the first brand, representing the emperor, even the hereditary Xu Guogong, but also look at the face of this old eunuch to act, just like Wang Zhen in the Yingzong Dynasty, the clan has to kneel down, even if Feng Bao, who has just been driven to Xiaoling to plant vegetables for the grandfather, when he is on the stage, the clans also have to kowtow, And Feng Bao only needed to bend his knees slightly and say that the emperor was exempt.

First of all, Zheng Liancheng still didn't believe it, but Mu Jiugong's face was serious, not to mention the dignified Nanjing garrison eunuchs, and they would not be so idle that they would be so angry, of course, the eunuchs would not be bored and come to Ningbo to have fun with him, an ordinary person!

Is her daughter a concubine? Am I the ruler?

Zheng Liancheng was ecstatic for a while, after getting sick, his family was ruined, and he besieged himself in a small attic where the abbot was not enough, and he had not taken a step for several years, which was depressed and aggrieved for many years...... At this moment, all of them broke out, and suddenly their eyes went dark, and they gurgled in their throats, and they fell on their backs.

(To be continued)
