"This, this is what the mistress said. The concubine is not qualified to call the master mother a sister, and even calling the lady is also demoting the status of the master mother. Hua Chu'er said softly pitifully.

Chang Le moved his jaw slightly, and the idea of beating Xiao San angrily filled his whole brain, and he suppressed Zhang Changxiu's entrustment.

She didn't target the Hua family, she wanted to defend the Hua family, but the Hua family united with outsiders to suppress and frame her. It's so excessive, isn't it a bit too much for her not to fight back?

She originally endured and wanted Mrs. Thorn Shi to speak out to relieve the siege, but Mrs. Thorn Shi kept hanging high, so she couldn't figure out if Mrs. Thorn Shi was her backer.

As for that Mrs. Junshi, she definitely has a bad mind.

"There is no problem with what Mrs. Taishou did, according to Li Hu. A concubine is a concubine, and if you don't teach it, won't it be pressed on the head of the main room? ”

Mrs. Thorn Shi's fluttering words made the concubines present extremely nervous.

Chang Le let out a long breath, Li Hu really helped her.

Hua Chu'er now just wants to make Chang Le ugly, proving that Zhang Changxiu deserves to bully her. At this time, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Mrs. Thorn Shi taught me a lesson." When the concubine returns, she will persuade her husband to let the concubine return the housekeeper key to the mistress. ”

Immediately, there was another uproar, one after another.

Those concubines all looked at Hua Chu'er in surprise. How much I want to be like her, calling the head of the family a husband.

"Hua, are you a pig?" Chang Le stared at Hua Shi and cursed silently in his heart, grasping the wine glass with one hand and pulling his clothes with the other. I couldn't help but feel a little distressed about Zhang Changxiu.

With such a concubine on the stall, her official position is not guaranteed, and she deserves it.

Mrs. Thorn Shi frowned, and her complexion was a little worse.

Feng Wan caught a glimpse of Mrs. Thorn Shi's expression, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she grabbed Hua Chu'er's words and began to ask, "Taishou actually handed over the housekeeper key to you?" ”

"This, the main mother is unwell, so she is just taken care of by the concubine." Hua Chu'er winced back.

The concubine at the end suddenly felt that she had face. When I saw Hua Chu'er, I had a head. But when he received the threatening gaze of his own room, he immediately cowered obediently. Consciously the house fight is to come slowly, and now you have to keep your eyes on the dark and get the love of the head of the house.

Except for a few indifferent ladies, most of them were disdainful of teasing Changle.

"What kind of physical discomfort is obviously not pleasing to the head of the family, so that the concubine room is prestigious."

"It's too embarrassing to be in such a situation."

“……”

Chang Le blurted out that he wanted to say something.

Zhang Changxiu spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, they were husband and wife discord, and wives and concubines fought each other, what could they do?

But once this sentence is spoken, Zhang Changxiu is afraid that it will not be easy. Mrs. Junshi's soft knife has been guiding the wind at critical times, obviously waiting for her words.

She is happy that she only has a place to stay in the Taishou Mansion now, and her lips are dead and her teeth are cold, and she has to help protect it. hates this Hua Chu'er, and I don't know if she knows that she will hold back, or if she doesn't understand the impact of the current discord between his wife and concubine on Zhang Changxiu, or perhaps, she has already found her next home.

Chang Le knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, drank a glass of wine, put the glass on the table, and the sound made suppressed everyone's voices, and said with a smile: "Yes." In the winter, my body is very uncomfortable. But there are many adults in the Taishou family, and no one can take care of it. It is also a matter of course to hand it over to the Hua family. ”

Feng Wan saw that she was angry and speechless unexpectedly, and suddenly felt that her patience was extremely high, and she was impressed by her. couldn't help but look at Hua Chu'er beside her.

can frame such a tolerant person as a poisonous woman who is beaten and scolded by adults, and let Taishou bully in every way, this concubine is indeed not simple.

Although Chang Le's performance was not as expected, Feng Wan was not in a hurry. Li Hu's expression let her know that the more Chang Le endured and maintained himself like this, the more Li Hu had a good impression. Li Hu will pity her even more for being oppressed by the Taishou and the concubine, and it is only a matter of time before the eldest princess sues Zhang Changxiu.

"What a mess this banquet is today. I, Mu Yingjun, have read countless people, and Mrs. Taishou is open-minded, and few people have it. The little concubine also spoke in a measured manner. A good family, I was stunned by what you said. In the army, those who chew the root of their tongue and spread gossip will be dealt with by military law! Madame Commander suddenly spoke, full of anger and terrifying. She had seen enough of this scene and had a headache when she saw it.

The audience was silent and stared at her blankly. I'm afraid that she won't be happy, so she will pick up the table and beat people. Mrs. Duwei's temper is also known to everyone.

Of course, her simple mind is also known to everyone.

Just said so much, where did she see that this wife and concubine are harmonious?

Mrs. Duwei's cheeks were already flushed, and it seemed that she had drunk a lot of wine, so she waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Thorn Shi, let's play the instrument, you're fine, take them to get some ink." Although those crepe things are boring, they are much better than this nonsense. ”

"That's what Madame Captain said." Mrs. Thorn Shi smiled slightly.

Sizhu made a comeback, but the atmosphere was not as comfortable as it was at the beginning.

……

The atmosphere in the flower hall is very different.

King Huai also let the assassin sit on the throne, sitting on the lower left, opposite is Zhang Changxiu, next to him is the captain, and next to Zhang Changxiu is the history of the county.

Thorn Shi said a few opening words, and then the dancers came on the stage to liven up the atmosphere.

The annual New Year's banquet, although it is like a family banquet, is for official business.

The first is to invite officials to contact the feelings to help upload and distribute official affairs in the coming year. The second is to invite wealthy businessmen to praise their cooperation with the government to raise funds to help the poor this year, and make an appointment for cooperation between the government and business next year.

Even the female relatives get together for this. After all, women also have their leading role.

After the dance, between the staggered plans, the head of the pawnshop in Jin City, the lean Jin Chusheng, spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder when this thief will be caught? If you can't catch it, the grass people will suffer heavy losses, and if you want to work with the officials, you will be powerless. ”

"Yes, we pay taxes and contributions, all for the sake of the official family to protect us. Nowadays, the official family can't protect us, which inevitably makes us feel guilty. ”

"Think of my big bag of treasures, ouch ......"

Led by the stolen rich merchants, all the merchants began to complain. Among them, there are many people who use this to evade taxes and evade the responsibility of capital contribution.

Voices of grief came and went.

All the officials looked at Zhang Changxiu, waiting for him to give a clear explanation.

Zhang Changxiu drank a glass of wine and said with a serious face: "For this matter, even when I was young, the brothers of the Yamen did not rest, and searched strictly everywhere. This is not something that the government can do on its own, and it requires the cooperation of the people. If someone hides and does not report it, the official is helpless. ”

"What do you mean?" Jin Chusheng had a hot temper and started to shoot the case, "Master Taishou is making excuses for his incompetence!" ”

"This official is not making excuses, just seeking truth from facts." Zhang Chang sat in a precarious position, and he was not surprised.

"King Huai, you have all seen it, Master Taishou said such irresponsible words, this is clearly crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" Jin Chusheng waved his sleeves and said angrily, "In the future, the pawnshop in Jin City will no longer work with the official family!" ”

His words shocked all the officials.

The Jin family is here, and they have been businessmen for generations, and they are the first of the hundred merchants in the thirteen counties. Although Jin Chusheng is a businessman but benevolent, not to mention that the tax payment is complete, it is the most cooperative with the official to contribute capital every year, and it is still the majority. Therefore, the official family also gave him a few points.

If the Jin family said that they would no longer be in agreement, other merchants would definitely cancel their agreement one after another. Then the work of the official family will be difficult to do.

Zhang Changxiu twisted his eyebrows, and was about to refute, but was suppressed by Jiang Congshan's eyes. It was Jiang Congshan who smiled and said: "Jin is in charge, don't be so excited." We, as officials, also want to arrest the thieves as soon as possible, and we haven't stopped, haven't we? It's just that this thief is too cunning to give us some more time. ”

Jin Chusheng was not as angry as before when he saw Lord Assassin Shi say this, but he was still aggressive: "Then Lord Assassin Shi will give us a word, when will this thief be caught?" We can't be scared every day and bury everything we have in the ground with all the value in our family, right? ”

"That's a good idea." King Huai suddenly curled his lips and smiled, and responded out of tune.

Jin Chusheng glanced at this King Huai, his heart was full of disdain, and he still gave him the face he should have as a prince: "King Huai, this is a joke." In the eyes of the grass people, it is not that the thieves can't be caught, but that the old man is too obsessed with family affairs all day long and has no energy to deal with official business. That being the case, it is better to hand over the black yarn to others as soon as possible. ”

Boom!

Zhang Changxiu glared at him, and said coldly: "If you are a Diao Min, you should be cautious in your words!" ”

"Don't worry about Mrs. Zhang." Li Zhuo, the history of the county, got up and patted Zhang Changxiu on the shoulder, sat him down, turned to look at the angry Jin Chusheng again, and said with a smile, "Don't be so tense for a good New Year's banquet." Jin is in charge, this is the same thing, the public is public, the private is private, and the public should not talk about private. Since Zhang Taishou took office, the thirteen counties have been in harmony with each other, and they have all felt that education has been done in a lot of ways. Taishou's political achievements can be seen by everyone, and this time it is indeed because the thieves are too cunning and a headache. ”

"Hmph, that was before he took a concubine! After taking a concubine, where is he still like a righteous official? even abandoned the wife of the chaff who had the grace to save her life. If you don't distinguish between right and wrong, how can you be a parent? How can we distinguish between right and wrong? The green tendons on Jin Chusheng's head burst out, and his clear eyes were still full of anger when he was over forty years old, "I was really mistaken by beauty!" ”

Jin Chusheng unceremoniously pointed at Zhang Changxiu's nose and scolded.

He was so bold that no one else could say anything.

Zhang Changxiu's fire rose again: "If you are so open-mouthed, how can this official tolerate you again!" ”

"Zhang Taishou." Jiang Congshan interrupted his words in a deep voice, his face turned red, he slapped the table in a muffled voice, and said sharply, "As an official, you should be good at listening to advice, calm down, don't get angry at every turn." What it looks like. ”

Jiang Congshan's face was full of annoyance, and he couldn't help but refute Zhang Changxiu's face on the spot. Watching him sit down angrily, I couldn't help but hate that iron is not steel.

Although he only came to the thirteen counties this year, because he was an old friend of Zhang Changxiu's mentor, he had known Zhang Changxiu for several years, and he had never seen him so breathless. It felt like he was a different person.

Before him, he was a protégé of the Son of Heaven and had a strong belly, and his talent was unmatched by him in that session. Although he is a little proud, he is a calm and humble person, where is it like now?

Could it be that he was really confused by that little concubine?
