Chapter 64: Taishou catches the traitor
"Above, reward. Zhang Taishou, receive the reward. ”
Zhang Changxiu handed Chang Le to Shili, stepped forward and bowed again: "Thank you, thank you, King Huai." ”
With a wave of his hand, the guards handed over the reward to the people of the Taishou Mansion. When he looked at Chang Le again, his eyes flashed with a different light, and his eyes looked like Chang Le had won some huge bargain.
"Given, the wife of Zhang Changxiu, the Taishou of the Thirteen Counties, Chang's, Fengzi is a pair of silk fans. Mrs. Taishou, get the reward. ”
Listening to the waiter's explanation, it seems to be quite valuable. After all, the words "so-and-so's authentic work" were used, although she didn't know who Feng Zishan was.
Whether it's worth it or not, you can go to the pawnshop and ask. However, seeing Zhang Changxiu's surprised appearance when he saw the ghost, Chang Le secretly judged that it was probably very valuable!
Finding Chang Le's perfunctory attitude of being rewarded, Shan Nei scolded him for not knowing the goods, and hurriedly mentioned: "Mrs. Taishou, the only remaining true deeds of Feng Zishan in the world today are in the hands of Madame." This fan has been used for 20 years, and he also carved the ivory bone to replace it, and he likes it tightly. Because he was reluctant to come to the fiefdom with the king, he cut his love and sent it away, not to mention, seeing the fan was like a saint. Now King Huai has given this fan to his wife, and his wife is going to put it away! ”
Shan Nei's words really made Chang Le realize the importance of this fan.
"The saint personally uses the pro-reform", "only the authentic works are preserved", relying on these two gimmicks, Chang Le decided not to ask the pawnshop, and directly auctioned at a high price, and the reserve price was 1,000 taels of gold!
Without getting the bounty, Chang Le was already blinded by lard, forgetting that this was a royal gift, and just thinking about how to make a fortune.
King Huai had already anticipated her thoughts, and when he saw her strategizing face, he closed the fan and said leisurely: "Mrs. Taishou, this is a gift from the emperor, and the damage and sale are all to be killed." ”
Instantly fell into the ultimate life problem of wanting wealth or life, Chang Le glared at King Huai fiercely, and finally succumbed to the fact that there was only one life, gritted his teeth and said: "The courtiers will provide for it well." ”
Yes, not only did she not make money, but she also welcomed an ancestor, and she also had to spend money on sesame oil.
"This reward is too precious, and the courtiers take it softly. Otherwise, should you swap the rewards of your courtiers with those of the Taishou? Chang Le slowed down for a long time before he came up with such a brilliant idea.
"Chang Le, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Changxiu hurriedly interrupted his words, and made a big gift to King Huai and the inner servants, "Clumsy and reckless do not understand etiquette, and ask the inner servants of King Huai to forgive their sins." ”
The chamberlain turned his head to look at King Huai's opinion.
King Huai deliberately said: "Mrs. Zun must be cautious in her words and deeds, and she is very disrespectful to the saint, but she will not have many hours to live." ”
can argue and think about it, which means that she is not so miserable that she can't do it.
"Yes, it's the arrogance of the lower officials." Zhang Changxiu repeatedly admitted his mistake.
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem, ahem! Chang Le couldn't hold back the depression that surged into his chest this time, covered his mouth with a handkerchief to block the cold air from his mouth and nose, coughed heavily, and his head was a little dizzy.
She is really sick, so she came out to receive such a reward!
Seeing that she was so serious, Shili secretly probed her forehead with his hand, and it seemed to burn up again. But because of the presence of high-ranking officials, it was difficult to make a sound, so he had to look anxiously at King Huai. Hopefully he'll be accommodating.
"Mrs. Taishou is not in good health, so go back and rest quickly." King Huai frowned slightly, and spoke before Zhang Changxiu spoke, "Madam is really frail and sickly. Now Mrs. Taishou is also a person who is admired by the saints, and she has given you the face of your family, and Taishou must take good care of it. Taishou's family affairs are not easy to beak, and Taishou himself knows how to measure. ”
"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Zhang Changxiu glanced at the group of people in the pot courtyard who were gradually moving away, and respectfully responded.
The single chamberlain has also heard about this family affair of the Taishou family. When I came, I also heard that Mrs. Taishou was locked out of the door by Taishou for one night. Shicai has always been attracted by Mrs. Taishou's coughing voice, and can't help but feel pity. On the other hand, that little concubine is being favored at a glance.
"Zhang Taishou, our family also reminds you. This time, the saint also specially let our family see how virtuous Mrs. Taishou, who has helped Yu Taishou many times, is. ”
This is indeed the meaning of the Holy One.
The Shan Nei Attendant was going to secretly observe the two eyes and go back to report it, but now he wants to say it and give this Taishou lady a status.
Zhang Changxiu knew that he should say something nice at this time to seal the mouth of the servant, so he did not change his face and said: "The people in the house are not clear, and they don't know if they are clumsy and have fun and return late." Shengsheng let the clumsy Jing freeze overnight and burned for a few days, but it has not improved for a few days, which makes the waiter smile. ”
"Then Taishou must discipline his subordinates well. Yes, King Huai, let's not stay here for too long, and hurry to the Governor's Mansion. After the imperial edict was issued earlier, our family should go back to restore their lives earlier. ”
went to the Governor's Mansion, needless to say, it was a reward from King Huai.
King Huai felt that his heart was dripping blood, shook the fan, and smiled at the inner servant: "I also hope that when the inner servant comes back, he can bring some rewards from the saint to this king." ”
"Then it depends on the meaning of the saint."
The chamberlain and King Huai greeted each other and left. Zhang Changxiu straightened his waist at this time.
"Congratulations, husband." Hua Chu'er stepped forward with a smile.
Zhang Changxiu waved his hand to interrupt her beautiful words, and his mind was thinking about Huai Wang's expression and movements just now.
Didn't they only meet once at the New Year's Banquet? But this relationship doesn't look like it's only one side.
Hua Chu'er took Zhang Changxiu's arm and said coquettishly: "King Huai is really a caring person, taking care of the sick housewife everywhere." ”
This sentence is particularly harsh, and it just fits in with what Zhang Changxiu thinks in his heart. Zhang Changxiu was taken aback, looked left and right at the subordinates who had not yet dispersed, and said unhappily: "King Huai has always been sympathetic to the people, and he should be careful when he speaks. ”
"That's what concubines mean." Hua Chu'er pretended to smile innocently.
"You go back first. I still have some business to attend to. Zhang Changxiu brushed her hand away and left without looking back.
Hua Chu'er didn't mind, her fingers stroked her sideburns, she combed her temples twice, looked back at Ruyu, and said with a smile: "Go back." ”
……
A few days later, a warm sunny day, warm temperatures heralded that the climate was about to return to spring.
"Head of the house, Madame is out." Wu Ze stood in the middle of the room, ruthlessly reporting Chang Le's whereabouts.
Zhang Changxiu, who was practicing calligraphy, paused, and the tip of the pen pressed on the rice paper, and immediately smeared. Ruined a good set of words.
"She's not well, where did she go?"
"Eight return to fasting."
It's really that Baguizhai!
Before the illness is cured, are you in a hurry to see the adulterer?
Chang Le, you are so bold!
The temperature in the room immediately dropped, Zhang Changxiu's body was as scary as ice, he threw the pen on the table, and said angrily: "Go!" ”
Led by Wuze, Zhang Changxiu went out and rode directly on horseback, and rushed to Baguizhai at the fastest speed.
Zhang Changxiu fell off the horse according to the saddle, and through the open door of Baguizhai, he happened to see Shili coming from the backyard to the front door. Immediately, a pair of eyes were scarlet, so excited that his breathing became heavier, and he was full of anger.
"Master, why are you here!" Shili shouted and stepped forward to stop Zhang Changxiu, who was heading straight to the hut.
Xu is anger makes his five senses sensitive, plus he already knows some martial arts, and his hearing is better than ordinary people. In short, Zhang Changxiu had clearly heard Chang Le's voice coming from inside the hut, and there was a man's voice inside.
What good can a lonely man and a widow do in a lonely room?
Zhang Changxiu was furious, and just wanted to reach out and throw Shili aside, but Wuze had already made a move and pulled Shili out of the reach of his hand. There was no obstruction, and he didn't have time to worry about Wuze doing it on his own.
An arrow strode to the door of the hut, kicked open the closed wooden door, and grabbed the thick curtain with the other.
raised his eyes, but he was stunned in place.
I saw two men and a woman around the table, and at this time they all looked up and looked at him inexplicably.
A daughter is naturally Changle; Two men, one doesn't know each other, and the other turns out to be King Huai!
Chang Le still held a charcoal in his hand and knelt in front of the table, as if he wanted to paint. King Huai spread out his folding fan and stood aside, like a bystander. There was also a scholar, half-kneeling beside Chang Le, his fingers still pointing to the paper on the table, as if he was teaching something.
Is this still a tryst?
"It's Taishou who came. Zhang Taishou is so angry, what happened? King Huai was the first to smile and speak, ignoring the heavy anger on Zhang Changxiu's body.
Zhang Changxiu's mood subsided little by little, threw the curtain in his hand to the side, and bowed: "Minister, I've seen King Huai." ”
"Excuse yourself from these false courtesies. Taishou is here to find Mrs. Taishou? King Huai went straight to the point.
Zhang Changxiu's face changed, and the flames in his eyes almost disappeared, but he was sad: "Yes, the minister didn't see Neizi at home, so he came out to look for it." I heard that she likes to run to Baguizhai, and she is afraid that she will cause trouble, so she is a little anxious. It turned out that King Huai was also there. ”
"yes. This king has a good relationship with the lord of the Eight Returns, and he will come and sit for a day when he has nothing to do. Madame occasionally comes to learn art, but today the illness is not cured and all come again, and the king also asked the Taishou if he would be worried. But I didn't think about it, I was hiding it from Taishou. ”
In the face of Zhang Changxiu's ambiguous temptation, King Huai made himself clear without changing his face, and threw the pot to Chang Le by the way.
"Learning?" Zhang Changxiu looked at Chang Le in disbelief.
Chang Le was a little disillusioned by his questioning gaze, put the charcoal aside, and prepared to start performing after a heavy breath.
It's good that King Huai is here today, if Zhang Changxiu came in just now and saw only her and Liu Chengyan, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would tear their pair of "dog men and women" to pieces.
Although both of them are innocent.
"yes, learn the arts. What does the head of the house think? I'm having a tryst here? ”
Chang Le is unscrupulous, and she hasn't done anything about red apricots going out of the wall, so now she is naturally confident.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Changxiu, in the face of her such a straightforward opening, if it weren't for King Huai beside him, he would really open his mouth directly. At this time, I can only change the question without a trace: "What art are you learning here?" ”
Chang Le is afraid that he will be annoyed and angry, and no one will look good at that time. Thinking about it like this, Zhang Changxiu suddenly came to question, and he didn't seem to have a little stomach, and he was very embarrassed for her as a wife!
"Learn to paint with Lord Liu Zhai." Chang Le suddenly felt a little disgusted with Zhang Changxiu.
Zhang Changxiu asked repeatedly: "Learn to paint?" ”
"yes, it's not for you guy." Chang Le sighed, and said very aggrievedly, "That Hua's qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can do anything, and everyone outside says that I, a peasant girl, is not worthy of you." When I came back from the ghost gate, I also figured out that I should learn something so that I can be worthy of you. Coincidentally, when I bought a book, I met Lord Liuzhai, and I thought that Lord Liuzhai's paintings were very peculiar, and it could also make people's eyes shine after learning. Coincidentally, I learned a little drawing skills and helped you solve the case. ”
