Let's talk about the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

As soon as he got the silver ticket sent by the Lin family, Bai Wenbin, the Marquis of Zhongyong, was impatient to carry the silver ticket on his body and wanted to leave for the capital.

The county lord of Shurong didn't agree with anything, and stopped and stopped: "Master Hou, why do you have to be so anxious? If the Gong family is in a hurry to want the silver, then let them come and get it, if the Gong family is not in a hurry, why do you bother to deliver it to people's doors? Such a large sum of silver, just putting it in the money bank to eat interest, it is not a decimal! ”

Bai Wenbin usually hates the Lord of Shurong the most for teaching himself, in the early years, when the eldest princess and the old marquis were still there, he still cared about the face of his mother-in-law and father, and respected the Lord of Shurong. Now, with the death of the eldest princess Duanjing and the old marquis, the gradual decline of the lady of the county lord of Shurong, Bai Wenbin's attitude towards the lord of Shurong is also like a river, and it is not as good as day by day. The current relationship between the two is no longer husband and wife, at most, they are barely maintaining a superficial peace for the sake of their two children.

Seeing that Bai Wenbin's face was expressionless and unresponsive, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said, Lord Shurong said angrily and anxiously: "Master Hou! You exchanged the silver for Xiuyang's marriage, and this silver is not easy to come by...... Instead of giving it to the Gong family, it is better to keep it for Xiuyang to pave the way for the future......"

"A woman's opinion!" Bai Wenbin said coldly, "Now that the Gong family is the most powerful in the court, if you want to pave the way for Xiuyang, then this money has to be sent to the Gong family as soon as possible...... Otherwise, if Gong Lianda handed a message to the concubine, and the concubine said a few bad words about me in front of the emperor, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Lord Shurong was born in the royal family, and her biological mother, Princess Duanjing, was the sister of the former emperor Xiaowu, and she was the cousin of the current emperor in terms of seniority.

Although the lord of Shurong left the capital very early, he did not have much contact with the emperor, let alone any sisterly love, but in the heart of the lord of Shurong, she has the noble blood of the royal family after all, and the emperor is her cousin by blood after all, blood is thicker than water, and it is impossible for the emperor not to have a trace of family affection for her.

And Gong Guifei was originally a folk woman, with an extremely humble background, and at the beginning, she was just one of the most ordinary palace maids in the Yuxiu Palace where Concubine Qi Shu was. Later, somehow, he seduced the emperor back and forth, and was named a change of clothes after being lucky.

At that time, the emperor's heirs were thin, although the queen, Concubine Qi Shu and Concubine Qiao gave birth to three princes successively, but the three princes all died before they were a year old.

Therefore, when Gong Changyi was diagnosed with a dragon fetus at that time, the emperor was very happy and made an exception to make her a concubine.

Nine months later, Concubine Gong gave birth to four princes.

A year later, the fourth prince turned one year old, and the emperor promoted Concubine Gong to Jieyu.

Later, although Zhu Zhaorong and Qiao Guifei gave birth to five princes and six princes, the emperor did not diminish Gong Jieyu's love, and after she became pregnant with a dragon fetus again, he promoted her position and named her a concubine.

After Concubine Gong gave birth to the seventh prince, the emperor was even more overjoyed and named Concubine Gong Guifei.

At this time, Concubine Gong Guifei was already under one person in the harem, above ten thousand, and only the queen was higher than her in position.

However, although the queen gave birth to the eldest prince, the eldest prince had already died, and the eldest prince in the palace was the fourth prince born to Gong Guifei.

The fourth prince is seven years old this year, and the emperor once revealed that he wanted to make the fourth prince the crown prince, but there were few responders among the ministers of the court and the central government.

The reason is that the queen is only thirty-one years old this year, and there is still the possibility of giving birth to a concubine. If the four princes are appointed as the crown princes now, and the queen gives birth to a concubine in the future, it will violate the tradition of establishing a prince and a prince first.

Moreover, the queen was born in a family, dignified and virtuous, and had outstanding virtues, which was in line with the traditional aesthetics of the Wang Dynasty for women, and the queen did good deeds in the harem, and was quite prestigious among the concubines and palace people.

But Concubine Gong Guifei was arrogant, relying on the emperor's favor to ask for a lot of grace for her mother's family, which made the ministers of the court and the central government disdainful.

Lord Shurong believes in his noble status, so he naturally looks down on Concubine Gong Guifei, who was born poor, and the balance in his heart is more inclined to the queen. In addition, this time the Gong family set up a trap on the Hou Mansion, and they hated the Gong family even more in their hearts.

Now seeing that Bai Wenbin was deceived by the Gong family and had to help others count the money, and wanted to follow the path of the Gong family, the county lord of Shurong suddenly felt that he had lost face, and frowned: "How can the Gong family have such great ability!" Don't you know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? You are a loyal and brave marquis, and I am the county lord of the former emperor, is it possible that the Gong family can destroy the Hou Mansion with a word? ”

If Bai Wenbin still had some confidence in himself as a loyal and brave marquis before he owed gambling debts, after owing gambling debts, he had completely recognized the facts.

The Marquis of Zhongyong is just a false name, he has no power in his hands, and he has no money in the house, who will give you face as this Marquis of Zhongyong who has no power and no money?

When the old marquis was still there, the situation was somewhat better, after all, the old marquis had a prestige in the army, and he also had some influence in the court.

But now that the old marquis is gone, Bai Wenbin is a gentleman, he only cares about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, he has not made any achievements and has not established a career, and he is completely relying on his ancestral shadow to make a living.

What's even more terrifying is that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is not in the capital, but is located in Fuzhou.

If you are far away from the capital, you will be far away from the circle of magnates in the capital and away from the sight of the emperor.

Today's Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has no influence and presence in the capital.

Being tricked by the Gong family, Bai Wenbin was certainly annoyed, but he also knew that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the Gong family.

Now Gong Guifei is favored in front of the emperor, and the four princes born by the concubine are the oldest princes, and they are likely to be crowned princes in the future. If he coaxed Gong Lianda well, he would say a few words for himself and Bai Xiuyang in front of Gong Guifei, maybe the emperor would think of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion again.

Bai Wenbin's eldest daughter Bai Fei married Wu Shun, the second son of Wu Pinghou, a few years ago, and now has a daughter under her knees. Bai Fei and Wu Shun are not in good relationship, and Wu Shun is not very enthusiastic about the Yue family, and he only has a faint sense of face. What's more, Wu Shun is only the second son, and he can't take the title in the future, and he can't count on it after all.

Bai Wenbin knew that the only one who could turn himself over was his sister-in-law Bai Xiuyang.

Looking at the distorted face of the county lord of Shurong, Bai Wenbin sighed and said, "County lord, have you forgotten about your father-in-law?" ”

Lord Shurong never expected Bai Wenbin to poke her pain point so directly, and said angrily: "Bai Wenbin, what do you mean!" ”

Bai Wenbin's face did not change color and said: "What I mean is, wasn't my father-in-law punished because Quan Shangben denounced him back then, and was demoted from a first-class marquis to a third-class uncle?" Quan Shangben is just a little waiter, let alone Gong Guifei, who is getting the Sacred Heart? Rong Weifu said something rebellious, although the county lord is the emperor's cousin, but I am afraid that the emperor has long forgotten what the county lord looks like, even if the county lord is standing in front of the emperor now, the emperor will not recognize the county lord! ”

"You fart!" Lord Shurong's face turned red, and he roared hoarsely, "Bai Wenbin, you fart!" ”

Bai Wenbin sneered and said, "I fart? I'm really embarrassed, county lord, this is my Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, even if I fart, you can only smell it! ”

After speaking, Bai Wenbin turned around and went straight out of the door, leaving the county lord Shurong alone and left in place.

"Bai Wenbin! Bai Wenbin! You brute! You brute......" Lord Shurong's roar gradually turned into a whimper, "You have ruined me, and you have ruined my son...... You let my son marry a merchant girl, and you also want my son to go to the Gong family...... My mother was the sister of the former emperor, and I was the emperor's cousin...... You can't, you can't bully me like that......"
