However, Xiao Changdun got down from the sedan chair again, saw the ginkgo trees lined up in front of the Dingguo Mansion, and then looked at the gate where there were not even a single fallen leaves, and his tangled old heart suddenly relaxed.

In the past, the Shen Shoufu Mansion was full of crowns and covers, and the scholars were proud to be able to make friends with the children of the Shen family.

And now, in the big pit on the mass grave in Zhending Mansion, the hundreds of human heads have long been unable to distinguish which is the master and Dun is the slave.

The Shen family was beheaded, and the empress dowager hated the Shen family to the bone, and did not give them all the corpses after death, and the corpses were hastily buried in a mass grave outside the capital, and the heads were sent to Zhending, which was five hundred miles away.

At that time, the Shen Mansion had long been confiscated and vacant for many years, and it had long become a place where wild cats and wild dogs lived.

Xiao Changdun let out a long sigh, if the person who carried the edict back then was not Shen Yi, but him, then the Dingguo Mansion in front of him would have long since ceased to exist.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changdun felt a little shameless in his heart.

But soon, he shook his head, Emperor Taizu would not hand over the edict to the Xiao family for safekeeping.

Although the power of the Xiao family at that time was not as strong as that of the Yang family, it could compete with it for a while.

And the Xiao family not only has Xiao Changdun, but also Xiao Changhou, who is Xiao Changhou? That was growing up with King Qin's bare farts (shares).

They played together, got into trouble together, got drunk and got into a fight, and were punished by Emperor Taizu together, and then rushed to take the blame for each other.

Emperor Taizu wants to pass on the throne to King Qin or his descendants after the death of Emperor Chongwen, how can he let the Xiao family get into trouble, and he will leave the Xiao family to his descendants!

During the Taiping period, the government and the opposition emphasized civil affairs over military forces, and at the same level, civil officials were also higher than military attachés.

But once it was related to the country, the scale in the emperor's heart was biased towards the generals.

A regime cannot be destroyed by the verbal and written criticism of civilian officials, but by military generals and their thousands of troops.

Xiao Changdun no longer faltered when he was in the palace, he walked into the mansion with his head held high and his demeanor calm.

Mao Yuanjiu didn't have Xiao Changdun's calmness, he got off the sedan chair and called the doorman: "The eldest prince is in the house?" ”

Menzi scratched his head: "Master, the eldest prince usually doesn't go through this door." ”

Mao Yuanjiu hated that he couldn't immediately let people block the back door of the house, how could he forget that there was still a back door in the house for people to enter and exit.

When he entered the study, the news from the back door was also asked, and after Mao Yuanjiu went to the morning court, Mao Gongzi went out, and he was the front and back.

Mao Yuanjiu was so angry that he wanted to smash things, he asked people to call all the maids in Mao's house, and after thinking about it, he asked people to call Grandma Mao.

The people who served in the courtyard of Mao Dagongzi were either maids or mothers-in-law, there were no maids, and even the bodyguards were female martial artists found by Mao Yuanjiu on the rivers and lakes.

Grandma Mao got married six years ago.

For the sake of his son, Mao Yuanjiu did not hesitate to marry a seven-grade petty official, and married this grandmother Mao, who was beautiful but was disgusted by her stepmother and had no brother's protection.

Grandma Mao's father had a low official position, and originally wanted to ascend to heaven through his in-laws' chickens and dogs, but he didn't expect that as soon as he married his daughter on the front foot, he was really promoted to a higher level, but he was transferred to a remote place where birds don't, and Grandma Mao couldn't go back to her parents' house to complain.

Therefore, Grandma Mao kept the empty room alone every day, but she did not complain, worried about being asked why she had not been pregnant, Grandma Mao, as the eldest daughter-in-law of a high-ranking official, did not participate in any banquets and flower parties in the capital, but wherever the ladies and ladies gathered, there was absolutely no shadow of Grandma Mao.

Since the accident of the Yang family, Mrs. Mao's Yang family invited herself to move to the nunnery, and Mao Yuanjiu didn't want the concubine to be in charge of the house, so he handed over all the affairs of the back house to Grandma Mao.

In the past few months, Grandma Mao has lived the most unbridled time in her life.

She was in a good mood, and when she heard that her father-in-law was looking for her, her mood was not good in an instant.

Don't look at Grandma Mao, he doesn't like to sleep with Grandma Mao, but the relationship between the two is very good, and Grandma Mao even promised to let Grandma Mao have a child sooner or later.

Mao Yuanjiu used both soft and hard, and Grandma Mao insisted that she didn't know anything about her father-in-law, and she didn't dare to ask.

Mao Yuanjiu was furious and roared: "That evil obstacle hooked up with the emperor, do you understand? This is going to destroy the house! ”

Grandma Mao was stunned, although she was in the boudoir, she also knew that the last time the Mao family was enough to raid the house and destroy the door, and then it was her sister-in-law who was the queen mother who died, and the Mao family was blessed by misfortune.

But there won't be a second time of that kind of good thing.

"Emperor?" Grandma Mao's lips trembled with fright.

Seeing that she was scared, Mao Yuanjiu said: "Yes, there are eight or nine out of ten that evil obstacle that is an emperor together, if the emperor has three long and two short, a hundred Mao families are not enough to pay for their lives." ”

I see.

Grandma Mao is not afraid.

What kind of thing is that goods in her house, she knows better than anyone else when she is a wife, it is a person who wants to stick it up when she sees a man.

Will this also hook up with the emperor?

You can't die, at most you will be caught raped in bed, not only will it not punish the crime, but you still have to cover it to death, if your father-in-law wants to catch the adulterer, then go, just don't involve her.

"Xianggong doesn't carry money with him outside, and the places he frequents have to come to the house every month to collect the bills......"

Mao Yuanjiu immediately understood, waved his hand to let Grandma Mao out, and he asked the tent room to come in with the account book.

"Hundred Sparrows? Is this a restaurant? Mao Yuanjiu asked, pointing to an expense.

The tent hurriedly said: "It's not a restaurant, but it's also a place for gentlemen to have fun, it is said to be near the small willow forest in the east of the city, and the lord asked people to go there to know,"

Half an hour later, Mao Yuanjiu knew what this place was.

As the tent said, that is the place where the gentlemen are looking for fun, but it is not a green (building), nor is it a small hall.

The Empress Dowager died, and the whole country mourned. During the national mourning, silk and bamboo wind music was banned, and the servants lost their income. So the garden was rented to give the ladies who could not take the stage and their admirers a place to meet.

And this person who came up with this way to make money is the smash hit in the capital, the son of Qinglian.

Mao Dagongzi is the guest of Qinglian Gongzi.

And today, Qinglian Gongzi is holding a poetry meeting in Baique Garden.

Mao Yuanjiu sat in the sedan chair, only feeling dizzy and swollen, the family was unlucky, the family was unlucky.

Knowing this, he bought a few ** for that evil man to raise in the mansion, so as not to let him go in and out of that kind of place all day long, and this time, he also brought the emperor with him.

In order not to attract attention, Mao Yuanjiu had no choice but to let his people hide quietly outside the Baique Garden, dressed in civilian clothes, and brought five or six bodyguards to the door.
