A female shoufu appeared in the imperial capital, and the entire Jin country exploded. For a whole month, there was a lot of talk and all kinds of voices. I heard that the last time there was such an incident where every household participated in the discussion, it was a girl named Cheng Yu who became the emperor of Jinguo.

"Have you heard of it, that female head and auxiliary are stunning, charming and moving, I heard that it is a thousand-year-old fox demon illusion, specially to demagogue."

"Look at what you said, don't forget that the current emperor is a daughter, what if the female shoufu is Daji, can the female emperor be bewitched by him?"

"Hey, don't believe it, I heard that the female emperor is very interested in this female chief assistant, she said that she wanted an official to be an official, and the female emperor directly gave her the position of the first assistant of the cabinet; She said that she wanted a house to live in, and the female emperor immediately gave her the mansion of the former prime minister Gao Shu, who had been sealed for more than two years. ”

"I'm afraid the two of you don't know, not only this official position and house, I heard that even the Wanggao building behind the Gao Mansion was also given to this female head assistant as a gift by the emperor, I was afraid that she would be disturbed when she ate, and promised her that she would say hello to the shopkeeper in advance when she had dinner in the future, so that the shopkeeper could clear the field."

"This is also a bit rampant and domineering, only the imperial power and wealth are allowed to come to the restaurant for a banquet, and ordinary people are not allowed to come here to eat?"

"I think this is just the beginning, maybe in a few days, she will start to arrest people and refine the elixir, just like the female emperor. Alas, what did our Jinguo create, and how did we provoke these two female goblins. ”

"Hey, isn't it a female goblin, or a female goblin who specializes in harming men. His Royal Highness King Chong'an is so brave and fearless that he was stunned by the female emperor and did not dare to go to court; This newcomer is also very bold, I heard that she fell in love with a young and handsome young man, and every day she took people to the Prime Minister's Office to force people to drink, you say how bad this is, alas! ”

At noon, the emperor of Jinguo, looking at the high-rise building.

I sat at the table in the corner of the first floor, around a clay pot silently gnawing chicken feet, listening to these rumors inside and outside the lobby, not only was not angry, but felt energetic, took out a soft and tender chicken feet in the crockpot, handed it to the eldest brother who scolded me as a female goblin, and said almost to the big brother: "Big brother, I have also heard about the alchemy of arresting people you just said, but I don't know what the specific practice is, seeing that you are well-informed, can you tell me about it?" ”

The eldest brother was not modest to take the chicken feet and take the clouds, and after spitting out the bones, he said, "You really asked the right person," and then lowered his voice and said to me gloomily, "The little cousin of the eldest son of the second uncle's family of the third sister of my fifth aunt and grandmother, was seized of the palace at the end of last year, and was originally a good young man who was positive and loved life, but later he tried every possible way to inquire with the people in the palace, and learned that after the little cousin was arrested, he seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and the whole person was depressed and indignant, and finally he was killed by his head. ”

I chewed on the brittle bones of the chicken claw joints and said deliberately: "Then he died by suicide, and it has nothing to do with alchemy?" ”

The eldest brother snorted coldly, and wiped his hands with his clothes: "Do you think that female demon refining pill is refining with living people?" ”

"Isn't it?"

The eldest brother's eyes glanced at my crockpot with chicken feet as if they were nothing, I hurriedly took out one and handed it to him, and then he said happily: "The female goblin is to use the soul of the living to make alchemy, and the reason why the little cousin killed people and committed suicide was because his soul was sucked away by the female goblin, and he couldn't control himself." Miserable, you say? ”

I quickly nodded, frowned, and was very instructive: "Miserable, really miserable." After that, he got up and picked up the teapot and diligently poured tea for the little boy of Lanzhou, who was sitting on the side, "I don't know what the boy thinks of this?" ”

He squinted his eyes and looked at the spring light outside the window, looking lazy and idle, pinched the teacup and said peacefully: "I'm not very curious about the matter of arresting people for alchemy, but I'm quite interested in what this brother said," he turned his head and smiled at the eldest brother next to him who said that I was 'immoral', "I don't know how Brother Tai judged that the little boy was forced to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to drink, instead of being happy, elated, yearning, and rushing to the Prime Minister's Mansion to drink in three steps and two steps?" I don't know why Brother Tai thinks they are drinking, not tea? ”

The eldest brother sneered, shook the folding fan and replied with his head held high and disdainful: "Is this still up to me, young master, a sensible person can guess what they are doing in the mansion with a guess," paused for a moment, closed the fan, looked Chen Lanzhou up and down, and observed me several times, and finally shook his eyebrows, and said proudly, "Look at your two sons are quite handsome, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, you two look like this best not to haunt this crowded place, in case you are looked at by the female goblin's eyeliner, Then you will be the one who will be forced to drink at the Prime Minister's Office next time. ”

I pressed the corners of my lips twitching, clasped my fists with both hands and said, "Thank you big brother for reminding me, I am very grateful." ”

Chen Lanzhou smiled warmly, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped my hands stained with sauce, and his tone was quite helpless and spoiled: "You have been eating crockpot phoenix feet here for half a month, why haven't you eaten enough." ”

"This phoenix claw is like a sunflower seed in a meat dish, while listening to the story, while gnawing on the phoenix claw, this taste is really wonderful." I couldn't help but admire.

Therefore, after more than a month in the imperial capital, not only did I not be as worried by Shutong and Chen Lanzhou, but I was stimulated by gossip so that I couldn't eat and sleep, and my face was yellow and thin, and my face was thin and swaying in the wind, but I devoured it all at once, and I slept without worry every night, and a layer of flesh folds accumulated on my belly, and the whole person was a little more mellow than when I was in Ningguo.

Out of the door of the high-rise building, the little boy Lan Zhou couldn't help but ask me: "I don't think you're pretending, you seem to be really happy." Instead of getting angry, you feel the urge to try to get involved in the discussion. It's been half a month, can you tell me how you did this? ”

I was shy, only to feel that the spring breeze was full of arms, and I couldn't help but stride forward so that the wind could blow to a larger area: "Listening to the voices of the working people is what this Shoufu should do." And there are so many talented people in the market, the stories they make up sound so funny, hey, didn't you take over your cousin's bookstore, why don't you collect these stories and make a booklet for me? ”

Chen Lanzhou: "What did you say?" ”

I suddenly thought of a person, and I felt that this idea was very good, and I couldn't help but admire, "Look at the Lord Zhao who has been on leave for a long time, his book "Summary of the Reasons for Lord Zhao's Leave" has done a very good job, and it has come out in two volumes, let's also do it, the officialdom small book market in Dijing can't be all monopolized by his Lord Zhao alone." ”

He raised his hand and stroked the back of my head: "What the hell are you up to?" ”

I pinched the folding fan and turned it a few times in my fingers, and raised my eyebrows to look at Jinguo Palace: "Rumors are like a flood of fierce beasts. Of course, it is a large river embankment that must be blocked, otherwise the consequences of the river crossing the river embankment are unimaginable; It is the small river and small roads that need to be dredged, so that the water of the big river can flow and stop flooding. ”

Chen Lanzhou's eyes lit up.

I said: "That's right, we made a book similar to "Shoufu is a goblin" for the people in the market, and blocked those rumors on this road, as for the fox demons in the book, charming, little boys, etc., you can go back to the simple and brisk narration of it in chapters, ridicule, and finally become less credible, but more like Zhiwei, so that the huge flood becomes a small and happy river, and everyone feels that there is no threat, and slowly no longer panics. ”

"No wonder Lord Zhao has been on leave for many years, but his reputation among the people is very positive, as if he has no other shortcomings except for taking leave and not going to court." Chen Lanzhou said with a smile.

I was silent for a while, and said with a long sigh of relief: "His good reputation is not all because of this booklet, I heard that there was a once-in-a-century plague outbreak in Kang'an Mansion in Jinguo that year, and Lord Chen Changfeng, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War at the time, was originally from Kang'an Mansion, and he was unwilling to return to his hometown to extinguish the plague, and in the end, it was Lord Zhao who took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Kang'an Mansion. The supplies from the imperial court were delayed, so he scattered his wealth to buy medicine and food, and finally eliminated the plague after half a year. Not only that, but it was during Cheng Yu's reign that he occasionally went to the court to argue with reason, so that the people of the imperial capital were saved from deeper suffering. ”

Chen Lanzhou looked sad: "If there were such officials in the Nanguo Mansion at the beginning, we wouldn't be ......."

I grabbed his sleeve: "It's going to get better, you see Chen Changfeng, who didn't even save his hometown at the beginning, and finally became the first assistant of the cabinet, since this girl, he still hasn't got to get out, hehe." ”
