Chapter Forty-Three: A Quiet Night

As soon as Wu Shigong stepped into Xue Lian's study, he was greeted with a scolding from his father-in-law. Wu Shigong was scolded a little inexplicably, why does the old man like to scold himself so much? Wu Shigong thought about what he had done today, and didn't find anything wrong with him, and he also told a fairy tale to a very cute little girl. Hearing Zuihou, Wu Shigong realized that the anger of the old man was for the middle-aged man and woman he arrested this morning.

It turned out that the daughters of the man and woman were married to the son of Xue Lian's younger brother, that is, Xue Lian's nephew as a concubine. This morning, after Wu Shigong arrested the man and woman, the slaves around the man and woman inquired about Wu Shigong's identity and immediately rushed back to Chen's house to report the news. Then, the Chen family sent someone to Xue Lian's younger brother's house to report the news. When Xue Lian's younger brother heard this, it turned out that his niece and son-in-law had caught him, so he came to Xue Lian to ask for intercession.

It turned out that this was the case, and the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. Wu Shigong helplessly found that his father-in-law always had a good reason to scold him? Even if you want to refute it confidently, you can't find an excuse. So, Wu Shigong hurriedly assured his father-in-law that as soon as he arrived at the yamen tomorrow morning, he would release the man and woman.

In fact, Wu Shigong didn't know that his father-in-law was scolding and scolding, and he was secretly refreshed in his heart. The relationship between Xue Lian and his younger brother is not good, and the main contradiction between the two of them is that Xue Lian's younger brother wants to pass on his son to Xue Lian and inherit the title of Marquis of Yangwu, but Xue Lian has recruited a son-in-law. Therefore, although Xue Lian's younger brother asked Xue Lian for help today, the yin and yang weirdness in his words made Xue Lian very uncomfortable. Wu Shigong's approach actually added a small blockage to Xue Lian's younger brother's heart, and Xue Lian was also happy to see it. As for Xue Lian Weishenme scolding Wu Shigong? Does this old man scold his son-in-law, does he still need a reason?

Xue Lian finally finished scolding Wu Shigong, and then he asked Wu Shigong about his official affairs. Wu Shigong told Xue Lian about his itinerary today, the agreement he reached with the carriage and horse shop, and the invitation of the head of the factory guard to the banquet tomorrow. Xue Lian felt very satisfied after hearing this. It's just that when he knew that Wu Shigong was going to have a banquet with the leader of the factory guard, he took care of Wu Shigong to maintain a good relationship with the leader of the factory guard.

In Zuihou, Xue Lian also told his son-in-law Wu Shigong a good news, saying that Wei Zhongxian had agreed to Wu Shigong's request to become a regular, and in a few days, the official document appointing Wu Shigong as the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division would come down. Moreover, after Wu Shigong became the main commander, there was no problem in letting him be promoted to a deputy commander.

Weng and his son-in-law finally ended the conversation, and after dinner, Wu Shigong returned to his courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Wu Shigong found that Xue Yufei and those little maids had strange looks. Then, Zhu Yun opened his mouth and criticized Wu Shigong.

It turned out that when Xue Lian's younger brother asked Xue Lian for his yin and yang weirdness this afternoon, he vaguely brought out speculation about the relationship between Xue Lian's son-in-law Wu Shigong and the little widow. Of course, Xue Lian would not believe these words. Wu Shigong's guards are all from the Xue Mansion, if his son-in-law Wu Shigong had any cheating, those guards would have reported to Xue Lian a long time ago. Xue Lian didn't care so much about his identity and blamed his son-in-law for such a nonsense.

But after Mrs. Zhang listened to it, she felt a little uncomfortable, she told her daughter about it, and Xue Yufei's heart was of course uncomfortable. Just now, when eating dinner, Xue Yufei was still able to pretend to be very generous, and there was no reaction on his face. But when she returned to her yard, she couldn't hold it back. So, the number one small steel cannon beside Xue Yufei, Zhu Yun, replaced his young lady and accused his uncle.

After listening to Zhu Yun's accusation, Wu Shigong couldn't laugh or cry. He thought to himself: It seems that he didn't eat mutton today, but the smell of mutton on his body is too big. He immediately assured Xue Yufei that he had absolutely nothing to do with the little widow. And said that in the future, he would hand over the fat powder shop to the steward of the Xue Mansion to manage. When Zhu Yun heard this, she immediately accepted this difficult task. She must take precautions and nip all threats to her young lady in the bud. After listening to Zhu Yun's volunteering, Wu Shigong's heart was a little funny. Regardless of whether Zhu Yun could understand it or not, he said to Zhu Yun: It's no problem for her to manage the fat powder shop, but let Zhu Yun first learn how to tell a story.

In the end, it was the little girl's temperament, after getting Wu Shigong's assurance, plus Wu Shigong made a few jokes, a group of people quickly let go of their unhappiness and laughed.

Xue Yufei took out the gift that her parents sent to their small courtyard today and gave Wu Shigong.

First of all, it's the inner armor. After Wu Shigong saw it, he hurriedly said that he couldn't accept it, and Xue Yufei was a little unhappy. Seeing that Xue Yufei had some emotions, Wu Shigong said to her: Now, even if he accepts this inner armor by himself, let Xue Yufei still put the inner armor in that small warehouse to keep it. In the future, if someone from the Wu family goes out to fight, this inner armor will be worn by that person. After listening to Wu Shigong's explanation, Xue Yufei happily agreed. Zhu Yun, who was sitting on the side and listening to the two of them talking, rolled her eyes and thought: When did our Xue Mansion become your Wu family?

Then, Xue Yufei took out a small porcelain vase and shyly told Wu Shigong that it was a secret recipe for the palace. As soon as Wu Shigong heard the words "palace secret recipe", he thought of that kind of palace secret recipe. After Zuihou learned about Xue Yufei, sure enough, this small porcelain bottle contained that kind of palace secret recipe. This made Wu Shigong very interested, and hurriedly put the small porcelain vase in the box and put it away. Although I am strong and strong now, I can't use that kind of palace secret recipe for the time being, but is there still less story about that kind of palace secret recipe at the starting point? Especially in those YY stories. Wu Shigong is eager to have a chance to try it in the future!

Zuihou, Xue Yufei took out a few Japanese knives and told Wu Shigong that these Japanese knives were given to Wu Shigong by the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong. Wu Shigong took over the swords, and thought to himself: Then Wei Zhongxian looks very haode to his father-in-law Xue Lian, and he is loved by the house. But if you give yourself these Japanese samurai swords, do you let yourself learn from the Japanese samurai to commit suicide by disembowelment?

It should be said that what Wei Zhongxian said about giving Wu Shigong two swords is not entirely accurate. There should be two sets of swords, from long to short, with three in each set. Wu Shigong pulled out one of the knives, ran to the garden, found an open place, and waved it a few times. This knife is indeed very sharp, and Wu Shigong has cut down a lot of flowers and plants. Wu Shigong was very satisfied with this knife, holding this knife in his hand, Wu Shigong had a feeling of holding a watermelon knife to cut people in his previous life. Wu Shigong thought to himself: I am now about to become the commander of the Soldiers and Horses, and I really need a saber by my side. So, when he got back into the house, he picked the shortest one and prepared to take it with him later. He didn't know that the shortest, in the name of the Japanese samurai, was called Richa. The main function of this rib knife happens to be to commit suicide by cutting the abdomen.

Wu Shigong returned to the house and put away those things with Xue Yufei. The two of them began to wash up and prepare to go to bed. When Wu Shigong was washing his feet, he asked the embroidered bamboo who served him with concern, these days, is the embroidered bamboo used to living in the Xue Mansion? Unexpectedly, Xiuzhu's answer was: very used to it. Very satisfied. In the past, when she was in the Wu Mansion, Wu Shigong's status was very low, and no one even paid attention to her with embroidered bamboo. Xiuzhu is also a lively character, so in the life of Wufu, Xiuzhu is always a little depressed.

After arriving in Xuefu, the status of embroidered bamboo in the maid world has been greatly improved. Especially in this small courtyard, it is the second in command among the maids in addition to Zhuyun. Therefore, these days, with the self-familiar character of Xiuzhu, Xiuzhu has made a few friends in Xue's mansion. It was in the small courtyard that because of the impact of the spy incident, the relationship between Xiuzhu and several other little maids has also been greatly improved. Except, of course, for bamboo rhyme. And today, in order to strengthen the communication between the little maids, the main mother Xue Yufei organized an entertainment activity to play Shuanglu (that is, the predecessor of mahjong), after the end of this activity, Xiuzhu actually won more than 20 yuan of bamboo rhyme, which made Xiuzhu particularly happy......

Seeing that Xiuzhu's answer gradually digressed, Wu Shigong hurriedly interrupted her and asked her casually: Did the silver of the calligraphy and ink be returned to Xiuzhu? Xiuzhu replied aggrievedly: Not yet. Wu Shigong thought to himself, it was time to knock on the kid Shumo.

The young couple didn't say anything all night.

In the night, in the study in the Imperial History Mansion of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Yushi showed his daughter, Li Xin, the impeachment chapter he had just written. The things written in this piece are full of flowers and sharp words. If the words on the cantata can be turned into sharp knives, it will be enough to cut Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen into pieces.

At tomorrow's court meeting, Li Yushi, who is the backbone of the Donglin Party, will first launch an attack on Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch clique. Li Yushi is now looking forward to that time, imagining how brave and invincible he was; Imagine how desperately you struggled; I imagined how I would go down in history in the future. He couldn't help but be excited, and he was completely intoxicated with his dream.

After her daughter Li Xin on the side finished watching this recital, a look of adoration for her father appeared in her eyes. She said to Li Yushi: "My father's righteousness is awe-inspiring, enough to sweep away the filth in the court. ”

Listening to his daughter's words, Li Yushi touched his long beard and proudly daxiao.

It was a restful night!
