Chapter 45: The Adulterer
Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Rites said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, it will be the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother soon, everyone is ready early, and they want to celebrate the Queen Mother, so that the officials donate, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction and affect the birthday of the Queen Mother." ”
Lord Wang, Xue Pingping's father, Xue Fugui's top boss, I heard his father complain, this Lord Wang suppressed the people under his hands everywhere, pondered all day to please the emperor, sold officials in private and made a lot of benefits, and there were more than ten wives and concubines in the family.
"Lord Wang is too worried, the officials of the court and the central government want to donate, and the palace naturally has to donate, and the villain suggests that the emperor will celebrate the palace banquet from today onwards, and everything will be thrifty."
The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'm right, from today onwards, everyone, including me, has a limit on food and clothing." Those who exceed the limit will be punished! ”
Now that the emperor has expressed his position, no matter how dissatisfied everyone is, they don't dare to declare it.
On the same day, the emperor issued three decrees in a row.
The first is the detailed measures for exempting Huainan from taxes and rescuing the victims of the disaster.
The second is to recruit refugees as sergeants and craftsmen, resettle the old and young, and distribute relief funds.
The third is to collect donations, and those who are willing to donate to disaster relief can be crowned officials and lords according to the amount of donations.
At this time, Gu Nanzhi had already brought the doctor to the Hou Mansion and came to visit.
Meng Youyou heard that Gu Nanzhi was coming with a doctor, and immediately greeted people politely into the door.
Gu Nanzhi looked at the back of Meng Youyou's hand, which was red, and said distressedly: "I knew that you wouldn't take good care of the wound, so I brought a doctor to show you, otherwise you will have a scar." ”
After the doctor stepped forward to check, he took the medicine, bandaged her with a white cloth, left a bottle of medicine, and instructed her to apply the medicine every morning and evening, not to touch the water and other matters.
Gu Nanzhi looked at Meng Youyou's depressed mood, and opened his mouth to comfort: "Meng Niang, you have to take good care of yourself, there are some things and some people, don't worry too much, beware of hurting your body." ”
Meng Youyou watched Gu Nanzhi be careful and considerate to herself, and she was very moved.
Thinking of Xue Pingping's deception and coaxing of himself, his heart was suddenly sour, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Brother Gu, thank you, I will take good care of myself."
In this world, apart from Brother Gu, who cares if she is injured and sad? If you are not strong, who will you show if you are weak?
"Mengniang, looking at you like this, I feel distressed."
On the lonely face of the dream, a smile was squeezed out, which looked even more distressing.
The green bamboo is coming, and dinner is ready.
Meng Youyou asked Gu Nanzhi to stay for dinner, and asked Lu Zhu to add two more dishes to the kitchen.
The two came to the Xiushui Courtyard and sat opposite each other at the dining table outside.
The red sandalwood serves a hearty meal as it is.
Xue Pingping tried his best to disagree, everything went very smoothly according to his plan, he was in a good mood, with a rich reward, got into the carriage, and returned home happily.
At the same time, he also brought two holy decrees, one was to seal the dream of Youyou as the countryman, and the other was to serve as a scholar.
Xue Pingping entered the mansion and went straight to the Xiushui Courtyard, but who knew that the red sandalwood and green bamboo blocked the door and did not let him in.
He said that Madame had ordered him, and from now on, no one should be allowed to enter the courtyard without her personal consent.
Xue Pingping said all the good things, but the dream was quiet but he didn't even see his face.
He had no choice but to take out the holy decree and shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and the dream is faint and quiet." ”
When the red sandalwood and green bamboo saw the holy decree, they both knelt down.
Dream Youyou had to come out, with a cold face, without any expression, she knelt down on the porch, waiting for the decree to be announced.
"Xue Shishu's wife, Shuliang and humble, husband and wife are harmonious, and she is really a model for the people, and now she is crowned as a township monarch......"
Before the holy decree was finished, he saw Gu Nanzhi walking out of the house.
A fire instantly ignited in Xue Pingping's heart, burning fiercely.
Wow, it turns out that Rosewood Green Bamboo didn't let him in because there was a man inside!
What are lonely men and widows doing in there?
also let the maid guard the door and not let himself in! is so blatant, I don't take him as a husband in my eyes at all!
Xue Pingping was so angry that his face was deformed, he suppressed his anger, and asked in a deep voice, "You two, what are you doing in the house?" ”
Seeing that he was no longer reciting the holy decree, Meng Youyou got up and stood up, walked to Gu Nanzhi's side, and said softly, "Brother Gu, let's continue." ”
Xue Pingping's face is green, everyone else is here, they still want to continue?!
What did you take him for? Is there still a little bit of shame?
"Dream Quiet!" Xue Pingping strode over and grabbed Meng Youyou's wrist, "Don't go too far!" I'm your husband! How dare you summon an adulterer! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hit a rake!" Dream wanted to break free of his hand, but he grabbed it too tightly.
"You let go!"
Gu Nanzhi saw Meng Youyou struggling, and stepped forward to reprimand: "Xue Pingping, don't bully Meng Niang!" Let her go! ”
Yo ho, the adulterer still has the face to yell at him, don't give him some color to see if he doesn't know his identity!
Xue Pingping let go of Meng Youyou's hand, and with lightning speed, he smashed a punch into Gu Nanzhi's face, smashing Gu Nanzhi to the ground.
Who knows, when he was admiring Gu Nanzhi's embarrassment, Meng Youyou slapped him in the face with a crisp slap!
"You! For the sake of this adulterer, beat me? ”
"What an adulterer, Brother Gu came to see me, he is my benefactor! You are not allowed to slander him! ”
"Huh! Defend him like this? What kind of kindness do you want to repay with your body? What good did you two do in the house? ”
Meng Youyou was so angry by his words that he didn't know how to explain it, and the more sad he became, the more he didn't care about himself and understood himself, and he beat him upside down and wronged his innocence! It's infuriating!
"Hmph~" Dream Youyou let out a sneer, "What? Are you and Princess Yaohua allowed to cuddle and hug in the carriage? I can't be alone with Brother Gu? ”
"Princess Yaohua and I, nothing happened!"
"Hmph, who believes it?" Gu Nanzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and answered.
"Still want to be beaten?" As soon as Xue Pingping saw Gu Nanzhi, he was furious, and rolled up his sleeves and walked towards him.
Before he got closer, Meng Youyou walked over quickly and protected Gu Nanzhi.
Xue Ping smiled calmly.
"Dream Youyou, you just protect him like this? It seems that the two of you are really in love!"
Meng Youyou ignored his words, turned to Gu Nanzhi and said, "Brother Gu, you go back today, and I will invite you another day, and you will accompany you." ”
"Mengniang, don't embarrass yourself, he doesn't know how to cherish you, it's better to leave him."
Xue Pingping pulled away Mengyouyou, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard! "It was a punch to Gu Nanzhi's face, but Gu Nanzhi was on guard and dodged!
"The gentleman doesn't move his hands! If you really want to fight, you don't have to be my opponent! Gu Nanzhi clenched his hands into fists and made a defensive posture.
"You shameless villain! Dream is my wife, how dare you instigate her to leave me! ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, two of you, you punched, I punched, and they were in a ball.
Meng Youyou stopped loudly, but it didn't work at all, and the red-eyed two were only thinking about how to defeat each other at this time to show their might.
