Chapter 18: Breaking the Boat
Su Ya's bedroom is separated by a screen and a quiet room, which serves as her study. At this time, on the wall opposite the bookcase, there was the "Alpine Flowing Water Map" given by Ye Xiaotian, and Su Ya was painting the brushwork of King Ximeng.
The door was pushed open with a "bang", and a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Hua Qingfeng appeared in front of Su Ya angrily. The little girl Huan Cui'er, who was studying ink for Su Ya, couldn't help but be so frightened that she didn't dare to come out when she saw the old man's big temper.
Su Ya just glanced at Hua Qingfeng lightly and waved her hand to Cui'er. Cui'er put down the ink with a sigh of relief, hung her hand, hooked her chin, and slipped past Hua Qingfeng carefully and quickly.
Su Ya ignored Hua Qingfeng, she took a closer look at Wang Ximeng's "Mountains and Flowing Water", lowered her head and carefully painted, I have to say that although Wang Ximeng's hand-me-down works are not many, but each one is a masterpiece, take the boya in this painting as an example, the movement of raising his hand to stroke the piano is extremely smart, looking at the picture, it seems that the elegant sound of the piano is coming into your ears.
Su Ya looked at her Linmo boya, shook her head gently, the pen is still not enough, the lines depicted by the pen seem to be no different from Wang Ximeng's original work, but it is not as vivid as Wang Ximeng's paintings, it seems that it still needs to be learned.
Su Ya's ignorance made Hua Qingfeng, who was already angry, even more angry: "Husband...... Madame, you are too bold! Hua Qingfeng couldn't hold back, and finally opened her mouth first.
Su Ya put the pen on the pen mountain gently, turned around slowly, and said lightly: "Xianggong's courage is too small, and if the concubine's courage is not big enough, can our Hua family still have a foothold in Huxian?" ”
"You ......"
Hua Qingfeng was hit by Su Ya's words, and she was full of anger, Hua Qingfeng's face was swollen and red, and she paused and said, "You ...... How can you use the name of your husband to play to the court, if this matter spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Su Ya said angrily and funny: "Oh? But I don't know how to spread the word. ”
Hua Qingfeng said angrily: "If people don't know." Do you really think that if you act secretly, you will not be known? ”
Su Ya said sneeringly: "Then the concubine is going to ask for advice, if it is recognized, even if someone takes the handwriting to check, what can it do?" It's a big deal to say that Xianggong is unwell, and the concubine is ghostwriting, and Xianggong is fully recognized, who can take this matter to us at that time? Unless you don't dare to admit it. ”
Hua Qingfeng was speechless again, silent for a long time. Only then did he say dejectedly: "I have endured it for more than five years in Huxian County for my husband. Seeing that in another year and a half, you will be able to escape, and you want to make trouble at this time! As soon as these two letters were sparse, the official and Xu Xiancheng and Wang Zhushu completely tore their faces, and there was no room for maneuver! ”
Su Ya raised her eyebrows and said, "So what?" They are not afraid of you, the superior, are you afraid of them as subordinates? Hum! Escape in another year and a half? Where to flee? You have achieved nothing and nothing in Huxian, do you still expect the officials to give you another good messenger, rather than that. Why not give it a go? ”
Hua Qingfeng said angrily: "Woman's opinion! Woman's view! ”
Su Ya said: "Xianggong, the concubine's woman's opinion is that you either go to Xu Boyi and Wang Ning now and tell them." The note is not from you, beg for their forgiveness, and immediately add another note to explain the situation to the court. Arrest the concubine who forged the song. Or, you have the courage to fight them! Like a man. Have a good fight! ”
Su Ya said coldly: "Xianggong, think about it, how to decide, it's all up to you!" Su Ya said, then shook off her feather sleeves and walked out proudly.
Hua Qingfeng came in anger, but there was no possibility of making a big deal out of Su Ya at all. In fact, the original Hua Qingfeng was not so weak in front of his wife, he was not a man who was afraid of the roar of the Hedong lion, and Mrs. Ya was not a Hedong lion.
But he is always weak and weak everywhere outside, and now he even has to rely on his mother-in-law's dowry to maintain his dignity as a county magistrate, how can he still have the confidence to show his majesty in front of Su Ya? And Su Yayuan is not such a strong woman to her husband, but no matter how shrewd and capable a woman is, she hopes that her husband is more capable than her, and by nature, what they enjoy is the feeling of being conquered, sheltered and possessed by the strong, but Hua Qingfeng is so weak, it naturally seems that she is stronger.
For a while, there was only the heavy wheezing sound of Hua Qingfeng in the quiet room, and after a while, he slowly took two steps back and collapsed on a chair.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Huazhi County wrote to the imperial court, and the news of the impeachment of Xu County Cheng and Wang Zhushu quickly reached the ears of Wang Zhushu, who was "recuperating" at home. When the king heard this, he jumped up on the ground, and the most favored concubine who was originally sitting on his lap stood unsteadily, and fell to the soft carpet with an "ouch".
The king didn't care about pity and cherished the jade, and ordered his family one after another: "Prepare the car!" Hurry up and prepare the car, the old man is going to the post station! ”
The "badly infected and bedridden" Wang Zhushu no longer had sore legs, no more pain in his waist, and he was able to walk energetically, so he rushed to the backyard in one breath. After a while, the courtyard gate was wide open, and a carriage drove away from the palace and headed straight for the post station.
Xu Boyi was tossed half to death by a pair of pets of Ye Xiaotian's family in the county office yesterday, and the tinnitus was repeated from time to time when he went to bed to rest, and this face was really embarrassing, but what he talked about masturbating was that it was a pair of animals that caused trouble instead of Ye Xiaotian, so he had to deceive himself.
I don't know if it's because he has suffered Ye Xiaotian's losses many times before, Xu Boyi has fallen into a psychological shadow, before Ye Xiaotian returned to Huxian, he had imagined countless times the scene when he saw Ye Xiaotian again, in the fantasy, he raised his eyebrows every time, and Ye Xiaotian completely bowed at his feet, begging him to raise his noble hand.
But the moment he really saw Ye Xiaotian, he finally understood that fantasy is fantasy, and he was still afraid of Ye Xiaotian from the bottom of his heart. That's right, he has now controlled most of Huxian County, and Ye Xiaotian is his subordinate, but the problem is that this Ye Xiaotian, who never plays cards according to common sense, never gives people a feeling of controllability.
In fact, Xu Boyi's mentality and situation are not unique, in the workplace of later generations, a non-stingy subordinate will often make his boss helpless or even disgraced. Especially in the era when everyone serves iron rice bowls.
However, this kind of character at that time either had some background, and the boss couldn't move him. Either he is old and relies on the old to sell the old, but Ye Xiaotian ......, he has no background, and he is not old enough, the only thing that meets the standard is that Xu Boyi can't move him.
But that won't make Xu Boyi subject to him in turn, but...... Xu Boyi was a little timid to deal with Ye Xiaotian's moves. So, Xu Boyi adopted another strategy: "If you want to make trouble, whatever you want!" The fighting will only need to continue for another two months. On the basis of consolidating the existing forces, I can replace all the people in charge of finances with my henchmen, and even if the war is over, you will not be able to compete with me.
I can't touch you, but what can you do but play tricks on me? It doesn't matter if you make such a fuss once or twice, over time, you have no effect except for making trouble, and you can't change the fact that I am in power at all, then it will only make people look down on you.
But who knew that he didn't want to provoke Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian couldn't wait to come and provoke him. As soon as Xu Boyi went to inspect the post road and turned around the signing room he had temporarily set up in the post station, the king master came in a hurry and entered the signing room. And he threw them all out.
Xu Boyi smiled and said, "Master Wang, what's wrong?" Such a panic. ”
Master Wang stomped his feet and said, "I'll just say that Ye Xiaotian should not be underestimated and should not be underestimated!" You can't be vigilant enough, and that's fine. As soon as he came back, he asked Hua Qingfeng to write to the court and impeach you and me! ”
Xu Boyi was taken aback. Said: "The court wrote to impeach you and me, what did he impeach us?" ”
As soon as Master Wang told him the news he had heard, Xu Boyi's face sank immediately, and said, "Zhao Yicheng should be clear about this matter, I just saw him, why didn't I hear him talk about it." ”
Wang Zhushu sneered: "You only see him calling you a brother and brother on weekdays, but you forget that he was born in Banzhou!" He wished that we and Ye Xiaotian would fight each other and end up together. ”
Xu Boyi thought about it, calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Seeing that he has become a Buddha, I don't want him to know that the county lord can't help it, hehe!" He really thought that Ye Xiaotian was back, and he would have a turnaround? Let them toss, even if this matter is reported to the imperial court, it is not very strict, not to mention that there is an excuse to protect military funds. ”
Master Wang sneered: "You really think so? You haven't fought Ye Xiaotian once or twice, can't you see his personality? If you can't put it down, he will never put it down. If you were just impeached by Hua Qingfeng, you and I would panic? The old man was worried that this was just the beginning, and Ye Xiaotian would definitely have to make moves next. ”
Xu Boyi smiled slightly, he could ignore Hua Qingfeng, but he couldn't ignore Ye Xiaotian, Xu Boyi thought about Wang Ning's words carefully, and said, "Not bad!" Ye Xiaotian, a mad dog, must be guarded against. But how can he go about it? ”
When the two of them were thinking about how Ye Xiaotian wanted to make a move, a green sedan chair appeared on the post road, with the official title cards of "avoidance" and "silence" in front of it, and two people "sounded the gong to open the way", and one hit was seven gongs, which meant that "the military and civilians all avoided", and then there were officials with iron chains and water and fire sticks to accompany them.
Hua Qingfeng rarely goes out, and when he occasionally goes out, it is said that he is close to the people, and he never puts on a ceremonial guard, except for some important ceremonial occasions, this is the first time.
The servants who were working in full swing on the post road all stopped, and looked blankly at the gradually approaching guard of honor, they had been working on this post road in turn for two or three months, and it was the first time they had seen such a big pomp, and there was only one person who could have such a pomp when the county officials went out on patrol, the county lord!
Whether it is Meng Qingwei, who was domineering at the beginning, or Xu Boyi, who is in power today, even if their power is greater than Hua Qingfeng, they can't have this travel honor guard that can only be enjoyed by the Baili Supreme. The guard of honor stopped on the post road, the sedan curtain was beaten, and Hua Qingfeng walked out of the sedan chair with a heavy face.
Ye Xiaotian stepped forward with a smile, arched his hand to Hua Qingfeng, and said loudly: "Lord County, we are here!" ”
Hua Qingfeng glared at him fiercely and walked forward helplessly. He was forced to come by his wife, brother-in-law and Ye Xiaotian.
Hua Qingfeng is not stupid, what she has been lacking is only the courage to do things. Of course, he knew that as soon as the two letters were handed out, he, Wang Ning, and Xu Boyi would no longer even have the harmony on their faces, and he had no way out.
Can he plead guilty to Xu Boyi and Wang Ning in a low voice, and report his wife to the imperial court? Even if he is willing to do so, the consequences of being held accountable are more severe than being defeated by Xu Boyi and Wang Ning. Taking a step back, it was a cliff that shattered people's bones, and he had no choice but to rush up.
: There is something going on this week, so this week's rest day is a little earlier, set for today and tomorrow, I hope you know.
