Chapter 555: The housewife, grace and power

Hu Shizhong, who has been forgotten by Xue Dongchang, before the flooding in Bingzhou, was actually the commander of Xianghe County, yes, it was the one who had a good relationship with Chen Changshi of the Four Princes' Mansion, and the local rich Li family was even more rebellious, and introduced Sun Mengcheng's staff to the Four Princes' Mansion, which indirectly caused the Qianpan girl and the Li aunt, who were very similar to the princesses, to enter the Three Princes' Mansion.

In the autumn of the sixth year of Yuanqing, the floods in Bingzhou were separated by a year, the epidemic had long subsided, the villages in the two counties flooded by the floods had been rebuilt, the people in the disaster areas were recuperating and recuperating, and the flood discharge tidal flats in the high section of the Dinghe River had not yet been completed.

Chen Changshi interceded for Hu Shizhong, and through the operation behind the back of the four princes, he transferred this person to Pinan to take over as the county commander.

Of course, in order to accumulate political achievements, although the restoration of the Pinan residential countryside has been completed, but the upper sluice gate and the embankment along the river are still being built, and the imperial court exempted the people in the affected areas from paying taxes for three years, and the Pinan County Order only needs to supervise the construction of water conservancy, so that the local people can have food and clothing in two years, and the political achievements will be displayed - who made the imperial court pay special attention to the people's livelihood in the disaster areas of the two counties.

The disaster caused by the flood caused a lot of uproar back then, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to neglect the construction of water conservancy again, but in fact, there was no need for strict supervision, and no one dared to take it lightly.

So in the seventh year of Yuanqing, when the flood control and laxative gate project in the upper dangerous section was completed, the embankment at the low level was built firmly, and the banks of the Dinghe River in the state successfully passed the flood season without being affected, Hu Shizhong easily earned the credit, and because the four princes had the heart to support, Qin Xiang's henchmen operated from it, and Hu Xianling, the dog official in Pan'er's mouth, was actually promoted to the prefect of Jianchang, and he had already taken office in May this year.

The third prince had already found out the connection between Hu Shizhong and the fourth prince from the clue of Qianpan Li and the two girls, and investigated this person.

At that time, before the officials of Southern Zhejiang were not hit, the overall atmosphere of Dalong officialdom was really not clear, Xianghe was a direct subordinate, although Hu Shizhong did not dare to be as greedy and arrogant as the officials of Southern Zhejiang, and the county orders did not dare to blatantly seize people's property and solicit bribes, but this dog official was lustful and had a unique habit, specializing in mature women, and did not like to be young and young.

Of course, Hu Shizhong, the noblewomen of the high-ranking and prestigious clans, did not dare to covet it, so he set his eyes on the widowed women, just like what happened to Pan'er and her mother, which was not the first case early.

But Hu Shizhong acted quite prudently, and he didn't leave any handle on this point, just like Pan'er, and even didn't know for a long time that his biological mother died of obscenity, and only with the empty mouth and white teeth of the official slave Chen Mama of the county government, he naturally couldn't cure the serious crime of being a dignified local dignitary.

But it's just that if the villain is determined to be rampant, Hu Shizhong has been promoted to Jianchang Mansion, and his cautious style has changed, and the three princes have selected a few local officials who have a close relationship with Chen Changshi to focus on supervision, and Hu Shizhong is one of them.

This person has just been promoted and is not as greedy as he is, but he can't help being lustful, this time he is targeting a craftsman's wife, her husband is not lost, so he made trouble and framed him, sentenced the craftsman to a crime of harboring stolen goods and sentenced him to prison, tortured people to death in prison, forcibly occupied the woman as he wished, forced the good to be a slave, this woman is not as chaste as Pan'er Niang, and still endures humiliation and steals life, is very flattering to Hu Shizhong, and now has sat firmly in the position of the aunt, and is very favored, according to the three princes, this woman is Chu Xin is deliberately dispelling Hu Shizhong's guard, It is hoped that he can collect evidence of his murder of her husband, and the time is right to avenge her husband.

Because the woman has secretly contacted her husband's former friend - a literati from a poor family, often received by the craftsman couple, because of this revival of the imperial examination, successfully passed the Tongsheng test to get the fame of Xiucai, but unfortunately failed to pass the township examination, but the identity has been promoted, and now he is employed by a squire, Mr. Kaimeng, who has been a few children, and he will also prepare for three years before going to the examination room.

Of course, the third prince also has the evidence of the crimes of the remaining four princes' henchmen, and he is committing a selective disorder, and he is not sure which one to start with for a while.

Theoretically speaking, the crime of forcing good slaves to forcibly occupy women is not as serious as that of embezzlement and selfishness, and because of the victim's humble status, it is not easy to operate, and even if Hu Shizhong is rectified, it is really difficult to fundamentally attack the four princes.

However, the demon's thinking was different from others, and he happened to meet Pan'er again, which made him make up his mind in an instant.

The craftsman's woman wanted to bring down Hu Shizhong by herself, but if the three princes wanted to help each other secretly, this matter would not be whimsical, Hu Shizhong had a frame-up this time, of course, he would leave a handle, not to mention that his words and deeds have been secretly watched.

As for how to get involved with the inseparable relationship with the four princes and the party, this has to create opportunities.

The next day, the third prince got up early in the morning, and before boarding the ship, he called Xue Dongchang first, and explained the plan he had drawn up temporarily when he was half-asleep at night, and immediately instructed his subordinates to implement it.

At this time, the waterway was unobstructed, because the three princes Yu Feng and his entourage deliberately turned to Bingzhou, simply went to the Dinghe, did not pass through the port of Tongzhou, directly arrived at Baishadu, three days later arrived at the suburbs of Kyoto, it was the beginning of Mao, the sky was not bright.

When they arrived at Guangning Gate, the inner city was not yet the time to lift the ban, and the mighty entourage could not approach, only the three princes and the prince could enter the outer city with the number of personal soldiers who had formulated the same regulations.

When the prince arrived at the palace of the king of Chu in Zhengzhengfang, he was about to arrive at Maozheng, and the morning bell had not yet rang.

The car and directly arrived in front of the gate of Guan Sui Yuan, the prince got out of the car, and thought that the princess was still not awake, but he knew that all the way to the atrium, but he saw that the morning was still shrouded, and the lights in the corridor under the eaves were burning, and the maids had begun to shuttle busily, cleaning and wiping.

Hearing the sound of the sound outside, the autumn moon and autumn frost came out to greet him, and when he saw the prince return so early, one was slightly surprised, and the other was indifferent.

The room was also brightly lit, apparently just sprinkled and cleaned, and the air was still moistened with residual water stains.

When the prince entered the inner room, he saw no one on the couch.

The princess got up so early? It is far from the time of the morning province, where have the people gone?

Yu Feng went out of the outer room full of doubts, waved his hand to stop Qiu Yue, who was about to step forward to change his clothes, and asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

Qiu Yue was still haunted by the existence of Liansheng, and when she remembered the warning of Yijing, she did not "anger in her face", and replied very respectfully and economically: "The princess went to the main hall." ”

The attitude of cherishing words like gold made the prince sensitively aware of the dissatisfaction of this ear-and-eye leader with him.

I don't know what happened, and in his impression, the name of the main hall is very unfamiliar.

Fortunately, Qiushuang made tea at this time and presented it in, Yu Feng took a little drink to quench his thirst, and asked very kindly: "Which of you two can report what has happened in the past few months?" ”

Qiu Shuang secretly squinted her eyes and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she stepped forward to report: "He Zhengtang is the former Lixiangyuan." Followed by an explanation of the beginning and end of Yu Dong's family's self-reliance, and finally ended with a sentence "Since August, the princess has set the rules for internal affairs such as Mao Zheng Yu and the main hall to meet with the steward and distribute the right cards".

didn't talk about Liansheng, Qiushuang thought that it was better to leave this matter to the princess herself.

Yu Feng then knew that Yijing had cleared the bloodsuckers of the parasitic palace with lightning speed, took over the feed, the corners of his lips couldn't help but stretch, and first ordered the maids to prepare water, but he hurried out of the corner door of the back courtyard with his hands, passed through the East Garden, and set foot in the Lixiang Courtyard where he always passed in the past, and raised his eyes to see that the plaque on the door of the courtyard had been replaced with the three words "Hezhengtang", which was obviously from the handwriting of the princess.

The courtyard was full of servants, and the main hall was brightly lit.

Even when they saw the son, the servants only bowed their knees and bowed, and no one made the slightest sound.

The two maids guarding in front of the main hall came from Guan Sui Yuan, and when they saw Yu Feng just about to enter the house to report, they saw the prince wave his hand to stop him.

Yu Feng stood on the side of the door, looking through the open window with a smile at the princess who was sitting on the bed of Luo Han in the main hall.

"Next." It was Xia Ke who spoke, and with the voice fell, the two stewards in the hall bowed down and exited, waiting for the steps to log in, while handing over the book, one of them repeated it in an orderly manner, Xia Ke checked the book, and then handed it to the princess, Yijing signaled the spring twilight to hand over the cards, and smiled and bowed: "The last time Mama's text is not detailed, the words are not clear, there are clearly inconsistencies with the old precedents, and I did not take the initiative to explain, after correction, this time it can be corrected, very good, if you can do the same in the future, After three months, Mama's warning will be dispelled. ”

Yu Feng saw that the woman took a long breath, and the corners of her lips relaxed slightly.

Suddenly, Hu Xuan came in again, saying that the manager of the candle oil depot who had not arrived at the time of the roll call came.

After the gesture, a woman in her early forties, dressed in a blue satin narrow-sleeved gown, came in with her face bowed, almost not tripping over the threshold, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed, not daring to make a noise.

Yu Feng saw that her sideburns were sweaty, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she shook her eyebrows slightly-although his daughter-in-law was young and prestigious, in just one month, she could suppress these housekeepers from being in awe, not bad, very capable.

This time, it was still Xia Ke who asked: "Why is Mama late?" "Very mildly tone.

The woman didn't dare to relax at all, and forced herself to cry and explain: "The slave knows that she is wrong, it is indeed because her grandson suddenly had a high fever last night, and she was busy all night...... The grandson was dangerously ill, and the slave was flustered, so she missed the hour. ”

"How are grandma and grandchildren now?" Yijing asked in person.

"When I returned to the princess, I still didn't get rid of fever, I just invited a doctor, I said yes, I said yes...... The illness is fierce, and I am afraid that only the doctor of Qianjintang can rejuvenate him. ”

Qianjintang is famous in Jinyang Beijing, only the officials and nobles can invite the sitting hall Langzhong, this housekeeper heard the doctor's assertion, as if he had been sentenced to death, holding the only hope, he planned to ask for a princess, he didn't think about Ying Mao at all, until he entered the house, he came to his senses, and became more and more suspenseful.

When the princess just took over the feed, there was a steward who arrived late because she was lost in sleep, relying on the servant, thinking that the princess would take care of her decency, but she was immediately sent off and sent to Zhuangzi - the princess said that since she was in charge, she should be an example for the servant woman, and the basic response could not be done, and the people below did not follow suit? If you can't do it, you will let it go.

This time, because of his concern for personal affairs, he disregarded the rules of the government, and did not say that he begged the master to ask for mercy and medical treatment, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to protect even the messenger.

But I heard the princess instruct: "Mama Yang, take the post of the palace to the Qianjin Hall, try your best to save the child's life, regardless of the consultation fee, you can pay it in advance, and then deduct it from the monthly money in the future." ”

The steward was overjoyed, and couldn't help the enthusiasm in his eyes, and thanked him again and again.

I heard the princess say: "Xia Ke, I will tell the stewards later, although the servants are not allowed to delay their errands without reason, but in case of illness or family distress and other specialities, but need assistance, they can immediately report to the housekeeper, and the main family will not be indifferent, in this emergency situation, human life is important." ”

There is a curfew at three o'clock on the first shift, but in case of emergencies such as serious illness, even the imperial court can relax the law and allow people to seek medical treatment, but the hospital has been closed, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to find doctors at night, and it is often delayed until dawn, so many emergency patients are delayed and it is difficult to return to heaven.

What Yijing means is that in the future, if a servant woman or her family member suffers from a serious illness, she can pass on the internal affairs to the internal manager, and the Chu Wangfu will come forward to ask for a doctor, or simply let the good doctor treat it first, which will save people's lives as much as possible.

Yu Feng smiled slightly, the princess was lenient and strict, no wonder she could convince people's hearts, this favor was given, and most servants would be grateful to Dade.

Shizi stood for a while, did not disturb Yijing to deal with housework, turned back, soaked in a hot soup bath, actually felt sleepy, lay on the bed, the tip of his nose was filled with the long-lost warm breath, not long after his mind was blurred, he fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I noticed a slight itch on the tip of my eyebrows, and when I raised my hand, I grabbed someone's narrow fingertips.

Before the prince opened his eyes, the corners of his lips stretched first, stretched out his arms and wrapped around the slender waist in front of the couch, accurately confined the person in his arms.

The long kiss undoubtedly caused the two of them to breathe hard, and it ended in a sharp breath.

Shizi's slender fingers just reached someone's buckle, but he was stopped by righteousness and solemnity: "Shizi, look at the sun, it's almost noon, grandmother already knows that you are coming, waiting for us to go to Rongxi Hall for dinner." ”

Fang just sighed, and it wasn't until the couple returned from Rongxi Hall that Yijing told the story of Liansheng.

"Because it's your person, I didn't deal with it rashly, and I was still forbidden in the back garden, but the second aunt has already found someone to send things several times, and I want to inquire about Liansheng's situation, I really can't hold my breath, you, the main master, have not returned, how can Liansheng toss any tricks." Someone couldn't help but sip vinegar slightly.

Yu Feng had already frowned, and directly ordered Xia Ke: "Bring Liansheng over." ”
