At night, Yuan's house in the east of the city.

Wei Ziqing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with the soles of his shoes, looked up at her husband who walked in, a pair of autumn water eyes smiled slightly, "Wu Langjun is gone?" ”

Today, Yuan Hongjie invited his colleague Wu Li to his home for dinner, Wei Ziqing prepared food and wine for them, and went back to the room, leaving only Banxia to serve.

Yuan Hongjie drank some wine, his face was a little red, and when he saw the lady sitting in the candlelight smiling gently and beautifully, he was happy, sat down, first kissed Yuan Sitian, who had fallen asleep on the bed with his hands and feet, and then hugged Wei Ziqing's shoulders and said in a low voice: "Madam, marrying you is the luckiest thing for me." ”

Wu Li was promoted as a jinshi at the same time as him, and now it is a coincidence, the two have become the editors of the Hanlin Academy together, and their contacts are naturally closer than others.

This Wu Li is good at everything, he is loyal, honest and talented, but he is extremely ugly, with a big cake face, a nose and thick lips, and his face is covered with pockmarks, so that although he was admitted to the Jinshi, no big family is willing to recruit him as a son-in-law.

He is also arrogant and arrogant, and feels that the women of small families are not knowledgeable and unworthy of him, so that he is almost forty years old now, and he is still alone, every time he goes to his house, he has to envy him fiercely that he married a good lady, although Yuan Hongjie said that he had won the award, but he was extremely proud and proper in his heart.

Because, his wife is just good! He is beautiful and does not have the squeamishness of being born in a big family, and he is not disgusted that he is just from a farmer's family, he must have been a red thread wrapped under the hands of the old man for thousands of years in his previous life, so he was fortunate to marry such a good lady.

Wei Ziqing was sweet in his heart, but when he smelled that he was full of wine, he couldn't help but push him, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go take a bath, I just estimated the time, and I have already asked Lilac to boil water."

But have more people been coming to you lately? This Wu Langjun is coming back for the third time this month? There is also that Yang Zhutou, he is here again today, but you came back late, and he sat down for a while and left. ”

Yuan Hongjie is plain and calm, the whole person is a little lazy after drinking at this time, his chin rests on Wei Ziqing's shoulder and says lazily: "Wu Li is alone, there is only one servant of his living at home, and when he comes home, he has no wife to prepare hot soup and hot dishes for him, so he is naturally lonely, I heard that he rarely eats at home, either to find friends or to eat outside, the first few times he went to our house for two meals, and then he praised Mrs. in front of me every day that the food made by Mrs. was delicious, and now I mentioned it again, and I don't want to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore."

Fortunately, he is honest, although some of his remarks are more radical, but he is a man who can't do his duty in life, and recently there has been a faint gang in the Hanlin Academy, and he is rarely as neutral as me. ”

Wei Ziqing occasionally listened to her husband talk about things in the court, although she didn't understand it herself, but she also had some understanding after listening to it, "What my husband said is...... Right phase and left phase? ”

The misalignment between the right and left phases is a well-known thing in the imperial court, and many officials in the imperial court have also stood in line, and now even the Hanlin Academy, which is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, has a faint tendency to do so.

Yuan Hongjie rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "Well, the official family is not easy to do, the Guo family has been a military general for generations, and now although Guo Zuoxiang is no longer in charge of the army, there are still many of his cronies in the army."

The Du family is a century-old minister, and since the founding of the Great Xia, there have been nine prime ministers alone.

Today's queen mother is from the Du family, but the concubine from the Guo family gave birth to two princes, the Du family and the Guo family have always been wrong, but they were secretly wrong before, and now they are more and more on the bright side. ”

Wei Ziqing only felt confused, "But, what if Concubine Shu gave birth to two princes, the prince was established early, could it be that Guo Zuoxiang was still ......"

Yuan Hongjie hurriedly interrupted his wife's words, "Alas, it's good for our husband and wife to talk about this in private, but we can't talk nonsense outside." ”

Seeing that Wei Ziqing knew that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth, and looked at him at a loss, Yuan Hongjie looked at her with pity, and said with a chuckle: "You don't mix with officialdom, you are naturally not clear about these things, you can only say that people's hearts are profit-seeking, and sometimes even the officials are helpless, so they can only choose checks and balances." ”

Wei Ziqing has always been smart, but he is really not familiar with the affairs of officialdom, and when he thinks about it carefully, he understands, and he can't help but worry about his husband, "Then if you don't stand in line with a neutral attitude, you won't be implicated, right?" ”

Yuan Hongjie smiled bitterly, "I can't promise you that I will be okay now, after all, the officialdom is sinister, but my loyal people are always officials, and there is always nothing wrong with this." ”

Seeing Wei Ziqing's brows frowning slightly and showing concern, Yuan Hongjie knew that his wife was worrying about it again, stretched out his big hand to hold her hand, and said, "You also have to believe in your husband's ability, just for you and Tian Tian, I won't let myself have anything to do." ”

Wei Ziqing sighed and said, "I naturally believe in you, but these power struggles are sometimes too domineering and unreasonable. I'm a little glad that Ziyi left the eldest princess's mansion now, and it's not good to marry into a high-ranking family. ”

Yuan Hongjie hesitated for a while and said, "Ziqing, do you know what Yang Zhutou is looking for me these days......

Wei Ziqing glanced at him obliquely, "That Yang Zhutou can't hide things on his face, and he can't do duplicity, he came back these times to find out about you to find out about Tian Tian's kidnapping that day, but in fact, it was for Ziyi." ”

When Yang Zhutou came back for the first time, he stared at her for a long time, obviously very unruly, but Wei Ziqing couldn't get angry, because a fool could see that he was looking at another person through her.

Later, every time he came back, he would sneakily scan the house, and when he couldn't see what he wanted to see, he would look disappointed, like a big dog on the street who couldn't find its owner.

That mind is so obvious, how could Wei Ziqing not see that this Yang Zhutou looks like a simple and reliable person, but unfortunately the Yang family's family is too high, that is, they are willing to accept Ziyi, and she is really unwilling to let Ziyi marry into such a high-ranking family now.

Yuan Hongjie didn't expect that Yang Lei would be so dead-eyed, thinking that he was a big man, he always looked like he wanted to speak and stopped when facing him these times, and he was also pitiful, and couldn't help but say a few words for him, "Then Yang Lei is the lifeblood of Mrs. Yang, if he really likes Ziyi, Mrs. Yang may not object."

What's more, the Yang family has always been clean and self-conscious, and has never participated in the power struggles of past dynasties, which is also the reason why they have been able to be noble for a hundred years and respected by thousands of Confucian students.

It was the girl of their Yang family who became the crown princess, and the Yang family never took the initiative to get close to the prince, and their people in the court never showed favoritism for the prince, and even a few times when the prince did something inappropriate, they were the first to put it forward, and they were unanimously praised by the people and officials. ”

Wei Ziqing looked at her husband, who rarely talked a lot, funny, "Look at you speaking for Yang Lei openly and secretly, but because he looks stupid, how similar is he to you?" ”

Yuan Hongjie smiled helplessly, "Indeed! At the beginning, I had Mrs. in my heart, but I was just a poor boy with nothing, I could only wander around the Houfu every day, I looked forward to seeing Mrs. side, as long as I could see Mrs. from afar, I felt full of strength all over my body, even if I was not tired of reading all night, without Mrs., I might not be able to pass the Jinshi exam.

Looking at Yang Shiyi Lang now, I will think of my original self. ”

The true love words are the most moving, Wei Ziqing couldn't help blushing slightly, pursed his lips and smiled: "Since my husband said so, then Yang Shiyi Lang I will reserve my opinion first, but in fact, I still have a candidate in my heart." ”
