Xiang sat in the main hall, listening to the chirping of birds and birds in the garden, watching the girls sweep the courtyard and wipe the tables, chairs and cabinets, and suddenly heard the door report that the master was back.

Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, hurriedly stood up, carefully connected Yundian Shi into the main room in the backyard, offered kumquat sweet tea, waved away the subordinates, and asked with a smile: "Master returned so early today?" Is there anything going on in the yamen in the morning? ”

Yun Dianshi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The county lord is tired on the road, so he will rest for a day." ”

Xiang Shi thought about it for a while, and immediately covered his mouth and smiled, seeing that Yun Dianshi's face was good, he smiled and said: "This is the first time in the world, in the end, the little couple, it is not okay to leave." ”

Yun Dianshi put down the tea, pulled Xiang to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "Most of the things between men and women are like this, master, I also have a day to accompany my wife." ”

Xiang sat beside him, happy in his heart, but couldn't help crying, "Master......"

Yun Dianshi sighed, reached into his sleeve and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Last time, I said it a little heavier, Madame, don't be sad." ”

Xiangshi shook his head and said: "It turned out that the concubine was not in good health, and the concubine did not take care of the people in the house, which annoyed the master, and the lord was tired from running around outside every day, and he had to worry about these little things, and the concubine was ......" said, and shed tears again.

Yun Dianshi shook her hand and said softly: "You have a good heart, treat your subordinates generously, serve you in both concubines, and the house is quiet, which is a blessing for your husband." It's just too wide, even if those girls and minions don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, they dare to make up nonsense in that case, fortunately, the county master doesn't theorize, otherwise, it will make a big deal. ”

Xiang Shi was taken aback and said in fright: "Master, do you mean that the county lord also heard these words?" ”

Yun Dianshi sighed, "Everyone in the county knows about it, how could he not know?" Someone will always tell him that before he left for Huai'an, the scribe of the ceremonial room was removed from his name and driven out of the government, not for this matter. Who else in Manxian County now dares to say more? ”

Xiang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced: "Fortunately, the county lord doesn't believe it......"

Yun Dianshi also smiled: "That scribe is too stupid." Who in the county government has not heard of this matter, if he is sued and approved, how can it be his turn to report to God and please him? What kind of relationship is the county lord and his wife, what happened, according to the temperament of the county lord, I am afraid that he also wants to keep his wife's reputation, wait for the wind to be quieter, send him back to Gaoyou's hometown, and marry another one by his side, where there will be a fuss. ”

Xiang's Zhengse said: "Speaking of this, I'm not afraid that the lord will be annoyed, Madame's behavior, the concubine is very admired, if you want to say how Mrs. and Lian Da are in charge, the concubine really doesn't believe it, it's just-" Xiang Shi hesitated: "The master asked the concubine to post a post to ask Madame to come to the house, and they all secretly made an appointment with Lian Da Boss, and the girl in the house also sent it over, and the lynching on the dam made such a big fuss, and the concubine looked at the master's meaning......"

Yun Dianshi pondered for a while, and said softly: "You and I have been married for more than ten years, and I am not afraid to talk to you, I watched it in private, Mrs. may not mean this, but even the big boss may not." ”

Xiang's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, then you dare to let the concubine invite the lady to come to the house......

Yun Dianshi shook his head slowly, "One, I'm just guessing about this, I'm not sure, second, Lian Zhenyun is a big dealer, he won't lose his proportion, Madame is a staker, if she doesn't want to, how can he dare to take her?" Three," smiled slightly, "I expected that Lord Chen would go out, and Mrs. would not leave the house as a visitor, so I didn't ask the reason and didn't shirk at all." He took a sip of tea, "Now it seems that I have done nothing wrong, Lian Zhenyun has been promoted from the seventh grade, and the official grade is still above me, although he is a candidate, but his mind is not on the official road, when he is always useful, I will have to rely on him more in the future......

While the two were talking, they heard the girl outside the door report carefully: "Master, madam, even the alternate Wei Qian outside has come to worship." ”

The two of them were shocked at the same time, and Yun Dian Shi was overjoyed, "Although it is Tengda, I still remember my old friend, but it is not in vain that I have always looked at him differently and accepted him deeply." He was puzzled: "I heard that Huai'an is celebrating him, what will happen if he is in such a hurry to come back?" He turned to Xiang and said: "The scenery in the garden is just right, and he must be left for a banquet at noon, so put more thought into it and give a pot of red to your daughter when you got married." After that, he straightened his official robe and said to the outside: "Command the front, open the middle door to greet you." ”

Lian Zhenyun was wearing a single long shirt with a straight shirt of Suzhou silk, green silk thick-soled boots, and a silver and gold wrapped fragrant tea cake hanging from his waist.

He entered the gate, took two steps, grabbed Yun Dianshi, who was about to salute and say goodbye, and said with a smile: "What is Lao Yun doing?" If it's like this, will I dare to come to your house to drink in the future? When you first came to me in the jar, I didn't do any of this. ”

Yun Dian Shi saw that he was still as close as usual, and he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "If the big boss says so, Yun Mou is better to be respectful than obey his fate, please hurry." While speaking, he directly let Lian Zhenyun into the warm pavilion in the garden, now it is April, the pavilion has turned off the floor heat, the lattice window is wide open, and the eyes are full of spring flowers and young leaves, swaying in the warm wind, so unpleasant.

Because it was not yet the time to eat, a tin pot daughter red was placed on the small table in the couch, with sesame oil dried silk, goose fat crisp, braised ribbon silk, spiced beans, mushrooms, mixed duck paws six small wine dishes, the two of them each sat on one head, except for shoes and clothes, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, drank three rounds, and each leaned on the bar to enjoy the scenery.

Lian Zhenyun sipped wine, inadvertently stroked the creases on the silk shirt with his right hand, looked at Yundian Shi, and said with a smile: "Old Yun, I can see it in the palace now, the emperor will let Lord Chen be promoted sooner or later." Lord Chen has always valued you, if he can recommend one or two, let's go up and down, in two years, this position of the magistrate of Qinghe County will be yours. ”

Yun Dianshi laughed and poured a sip of wine, "I don't talk nonsense with my brother, if you want to talk about talent, I am better than the surname Wang, but the surname Wang is half a grade higher than me, and I married a woman from the Xu family, I heard that I am also looking for a way to make money in Jiangning and Huai'an." ”

Lian Zhenyun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about money, as for this Xu family-" Lian Zhenyun smiled coldly, "I will rush back in a hurry, I just want to discuss this matter with you, the salt field is a big item to get money, how to get it, one is more input, and the other is - since Cao Si has been brought over from there through the project on the dam, I will have to cut off the root of the surname Wang." ”

Yun Dianshi's face was as usual, he just squinted his eyes, and said: "I also stared at the salt farm, but I couldn't find a chance to start, the two old guys of the Xu family are old people, and they don't show any flaws." The second son of the Xu family is stable in his tenure as governor of the salt farm——"

Lian Zhenyun said with a smile: "I was in Huai'an a few days ago, and the helper led me to meet the prince, and the new two Huai Patrol Salt Envoys Master Cao happened to be in front of the prince, and they withdrew together and drank a drink in Huai'an Yuhe Building. ”

Yun Dianshi's eyes lit up, "In this way, it's already a nail?" ”

Lian Zhenyun compared his hand, "The Xu family's property, the two of us have three points, Lord Cao has three points, and the remaining four points are included in the annual tribute to that master." After a pause, he said with a smile: "I sent two Kunqu opera horns to the Yangzhou Mansion of the Salt Patrol Envoy, and Lord Cao already laughed at it." ”

Yundian Shi was overjoyed, "The Xu family has been in Qinghe for five generations, and I am afraid that there is no foundation of two or three hundred thousand taels, which is okay, if the surname Wang can be implicated, it will be even more troublesome." ”

Lian Zhenyun shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry, now that Lord Chen is in power, the salt government is under the control of the two Huai Salt Divisions, Governor Xu is bad, the Xu family is defeated, he can only watch, if he wants to climb the surname Wang, where will he not interfere?" It's a bad thing. ”

Yun Dianshi patted his head and laughed: "My brother is right, I am confused." As long as there is no Xu family to give him a waist, he is not worthy of fighting with me! After a pause, he said: "It's easier this way, Governor Xu's hands must be unclean, so he will find some reason to attack, and he will do it under pressure——"

Lian Zhenyun said with a smile: "That's right, as long as he is convicted of being a corrupt official and secretly collaborating with a smuggler of salt, he will have to be repaid by the family. ”

When the banquet was ready, Yundian Shi called Xiang's family to come out to see the ceremony, sat together, and called a courtesan from the county back street to play and sing, Xiang's smiled and saluted Lian Zhenyun with a glass, and said: "The big boss has already established a business, and there is no one in charge of discipline in the inner house, and now it is getting more and more upward, why don't you say that the last master grandmother?" The concubine also goes around a lot, and the two families are even closer. ”

Yun Dianshi was slightly stunned, glanced at Xiang's family, and did not make a sound. Lian Zhenyun returned the salute and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes, this time in Huai'an, our helper also said this, mentioned a few, and urged me to set one, but——"

Xiang said with a smile: "Your gang leader is the matchmaker himself, what else is there for the big boss?" ”

Lian Zhenyun smiled bitterly: "My sister-in-law also knows that I have been an orphan since I was a child, and it was the helper who picked it up from the street to feed, so I have the appearance I have now, and my temperament is inevitably a little more lonely." For the sake of my future, the helper mentioned the official lady and the daughter of the boudoir, where can a rough man like me wait for them? ”

Yundian Shi and Xiang's both laughed, and Xiang's smiled: "Even the big boss is now from the seventh grade, where can he be regarded as a rough man." If the big boss doesn't like the official lady, then the daughter of the rich family in Qinghe, the jade of the small family, and the concubines are many in their bodies and hearts. The concubine body plans for you. ”

Lian Zhenyun was stunned for a while, slowly took a sip of wine, and said vaguely: "You don't need to have any foundation at home, as long as you look passable and have a good temperament - you can usually have a good temperament, you know how to take care of housework, know a few words, find something to do, don't make some women's things boring me......"

Yun Dianshi laughed when he heard it, and Xiang Shi was stunned: "What the big boss said is just appearance, temperament, management, literacy, and general knowledge. There are ten women in the world, and the illiterate ones go to eight women, and the rest of them are appearance, temperament, family, and general knowledge, and when they are added together, where is there another person? "Paused," to tell the truth, there is no such person in Qinghe, but there must be big towns like Huai'an, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Jiangning. ”

After Lian Zhenyun left, Xiang ordered his subordinates to clean up the table, went back to the inner room, shook his head and said: "The concubine is doing his best, if he is confused, no one can do anything." ”

Yun Dianshi said with a smile: "It's up to him, if the one doesn't go out, he won't be able to get in, there are many women around him, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Lian Zhenyun went all the way back to the gate, and when he entered the altar, Li Siqin immediately grabbed him and said with a smile: "Big brother, that kid from Qi San sent a letter, saying that he was on the road and wanted to come to us to play for a few days." ”

When Lian Zhenyun heard this, he put aside the boredom in his heart, and laughed: "This kid hasn't heard from him for a few years, and when he comes, he must be asked to serve wine to make amends!" ”
