He Angelica thought that there was something wrong with his ears, frowned and smiled: "This is the legal land purchased by the Seventh Master in Yangzhou in my name, it has been empty for a few years, and now I have only lived in it for a few days. ”

"It's the Yangzhou Mansion!" Xu Pozi was afraid that what she said would no longer be understood, so she gritted her teeth and said, "The officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou Prefect's Yamen have come to raid Qingyuan!" ”

He Angelica lowered his eyes, and he didn't know what went wrong. Since it is an officer and soldier on a business trip to the prefect's yamen, it has nothing to do with Chang Nuo and King Ning's people, but what Qingyuan did wrong will be to the point of being copied, and he won't even look at the face of the Meng family? Or are they just coming for the Meng family? Her heart jumped twice, and for some reason she thought of what Meng Xuan said about the "treasure" under the Qingyuan, what kind of treasure was it......

Qing'er, who had been sitting in the inner room embroidering flowers and eavesdropping on the emperor's words, finally couldn't hold back her breath, because the old emperor was present, she pinched her voice and asked gracefully: "Could it be the personal vendetta of General Chang yesterday?" Or does the government have an opinion about our distribution of food? ”

Old Zhu Yuanzhang was born in the army, quite internal, he had long heard the sound of breathing in the inner room and the sound of needles passing through the fabric, he only thought that the maid was doing embroidery, and he didn't care, and now he looked at Qing'er's dress, which was two points brighter than He Angelica, and it seemed like another larger figure projected behind the screen yesterday. He squinted at Qing'er and asked, "Who is this young lady?" ”

He Jingxian looked at Qing'er and felt very familiar, he had seen it once or twice on the streets of the capital in the past, and he vaguely was the daughter of a big family.

He Angelica introduced: "She is a good sister of the slave family, a young lady of Liao Mansion in the capital, and I met when I studied at Chengxu Academy in Yangzhou, because the slave family married after her husband was not around, so she was invited to the house as a companion." ”

Old Zhu Yuanzhang and He Jingxian both said "oh", and when Lao Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Qing'er's face was like a silver basin, a very blessed girl, he blurted out a sentence of "good looks", and the excited Qing'er didn't count it after playing, and almost knelt for them. Listen to it, listen to it~~ The emperor who had 3,000 beauties in ancient times opened the golden mouth to praise her for her good looks!

He Angelica was bluffed by Qing'er, and hurriedly grabbed her arm to stop her from doing something stupid.

But Qing'er's knee-bending action had already been made, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang both saw it, combined with He Angelica's various respectful performances, He Jingxian was full of doubts in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Little lady He, do you know the identities of the two of us?" "It doesn't make sense, even if that Miss Liao can recognize him dressed as a beggar and smeared with mud on his face, who will recognize the emperor?

In fact, he is not the emperor's personal entourage, and he is not familiar with the emperor, but they are all met in Huai'an, and he saw that the emperor's golden body was dressed as a beggar to walk the streets and alleys, and he didn't even bring an entourage, so he recommended himself to follow the emperor, and together he dressed up as a beggar, and mixed in the refugees to visit. Assuming that Miss Liao knew him from Liupin Zhongxian Lieutenant He Jingxian, how could she guess that the one who was walking with him was the current saint? But if they don't know the emperor, why are they so respectful to the two beggars? Carefully studying the attitude of the lady He is really puzzling.

He Angelica smiled and pushed Qing'er and explained: "My sister broke her brain when she was a child, she is a bit stupid, and she is famous in the capital. And although I don't know anything about the identities of the two, I know that they are Gao Shi Immortal Elders just by looking at the conversation, so I specially instructed the people around me to be very respectful to the two. ”

The old Zhu Yuanzhang and the others suddenly realized, and He Jingxian whispered to the emperor, "There is indeed a rumor in the capital, there is a stupid lady in Liao Mansion." So this mistake was exposed, and the old Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "What did she mean when she just said 'General Chang's personal vendetta'?" Which General Chang? ”

He Angelica heard the words and took this opportunity to expose King Ning through Chang Nuo, and report them for gathering an army and plotting against him, this is really a godsend, after this village there is no such shop, but at the same time that King Ning is unlucky, Chang Nuo will also be unlucky, but this is ...... Chang Nuo is not bad to her, he is more or less a friend, he once taught her the footwork of the Lost, does she want to put him in a place of no return......

After thinking about it like this, she still couldn't be ruthless, and reluctantly smiled: "It's not a big deal, the night before my seventh master went out, he said that he wanted to accompany me, who knew that in the middle of the night, a general Chang came, and he had to find him to eat and drink, I was angry and threw something from the window to smash him, so my stupid sister has always suspected that he will come back to take revenge." Qing'er cooperated with a dreamy smirk.

As soon as he finished saying this, Steward Du also trotted in in a hurry, wiped his sweat and said: "Lady, outside are the soldiers of the prefect's yamen, and the leader is Han Fang, the son of the prefect, who said that he wants us to hand over 50,000 stone of grain, and the government will exchange silver at the parity of twenty-one buckets." The little one told them that the grain was only 20,000, but now it is 19,000, and if they don't believe it, they can go to the granary to check it; But they said, "If it is not in the granary, it will be hidden somewhere else, and the garden must be searched thoroughly!" ”

Qing'er forgot to pretend to be stupid all of a sudden, and glared and shouted: "Han Fang, that pervert, did he beat your idea, Xiaoyi!" ”

He Angelica had to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and not too attentively: "Xiaoyi is the name of the slave family, as for the prefect's son Han Fang, he studied in Chengxu in the old days and said a few words. ”

Old Zhu Yuanzhang groaned: "This doesn't make sense, even if the rich businessmen have grain, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, the government will only call for it, and there is no reason to copy it." Your garden was purchased by the seventh son of the Meng family, but it is recorded in your name? ”

He Angelica nodded: "Three years ago, the parents of both sides had a marriage contract, so they bought it as a dowry, and because of the trouble of foreign household registration, they directly used my identity document to register, and it has been idle since it was bought." She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was speculating that the goal of the Yangzhou government was not the Meng family, so she added, "When buying land and building a garden, the seventh master went to do it in person, even if the neighbors didn't know that this was the Meng family's property, the government didn't know that it didn't know." I really don't know why I suddenly started a violent and domineering house, alas......"

He Jingxian said with a smile: "Listening to this situation, Meng Qigongzi is also very concerned about your lady, a garden bought you to live in, how can you only have a concubine." ”

Qing'er replied: "She was very handsome when she was a child, and she fascinated Meng Xuan at a glance, who knew that she got sick later, and she didn't look good before, so she ......" She just wanted to scold a few words about Meng Xuan's dislike of ugly girls, and felt that she couldn't be so presumptuous in front of the Ming Dynasty boss, if she hurt Meng Xuan, wouldn't it indirectly harm Xiaoyi? So her expression was like swallowing egg yolk and choking, and she opened her mouth, He Angelica hurriedly followed her words and filled in the sentence: "So the slave family invited itself to be reduced to a concubine, anyway, I am not from a high background, and it is my blessing to be able to marry into the Meng family." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others confirmed the impression that Miss Liao was a stupid girl in their hearts. For a while, there was a commotion outside, they all went out to see together, and saw Han Fang, the prefect who was less than twenty years old, led the troops into the inner garden, his jade hairpin scarf, the instrument was Xuanang, a pair of eyes were bright and introverted, and he seemed to be older and more experienced than his peers, and the senior Han Fang in the impression of He Angelica and Qing'er was also very different, and it seemed that he had grown a lot after the recent experience.

He Danggui hurriedly put on a veil when he went out, worried that Han Fang would say that her appearance was very different from before, Zhu Yuanzhang only said that she was shy and didn't care much. He Angelica took Qing'er forward to stop and ask, and Zhu Yuanzhang recognized a master Dong Guoguang next to Han Fang, who had previously visited the holy car in the prefect's yamen, and also knew him as the emperor, so Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed He Jingxian, blocked him in front of him, and stood against the wall and did not go forward.

He Angelica stepped forward and said with a smile: "The concubine has seen all the officials, I don't know what to do in a big battle?" If you want to buy my family's food, please go into the house to drink tea and talk, and there is no one in the world who has heard of such a big fire and talk about business. ”

Although He Angelica is slightly changed and wears a veil, her figure is slender, chic, and highly recognizable, plus there is a Liao Qinger standing next to her, just like a teapot and a bowl are all matched, and the little beauty next to Liao Qinger is not He Angelica? Han Fang recognized her, her anger was not as explosive as before, and she said with a smile on her face: "Sister He, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you were picked up by your uncle, and then you got married, I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect to meet you once on a trip, which is really surprising." ”

But his voice didn't sound surprising at all, and it was still a little lively, as if it was a pleasure for him to lead the troops to raid the Qingyuan and see He Angelica panic and forgive. Qing'er didn't like it, and forgot to pretend to be a stupid girl, so she sneered: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be Uncle Han from the Han Mansion, I heard that you have been angry recently, and even your father can't compare to you." But what is in the way of you in our Qingyuan, even if we have 20,000 grains, we have never been a profiteer or eaten alone! Since the turmoil, we have set up porridge shacks in front of our homes every day to wait for refugees, and when refugees come, they will distribute flatbread, these are all word-of-mouth, you don't believe it to check! ”

Han Fang smiled and said in an official tone: "A big earth movement caused Yangzhou to suffer a catastrophe that has not been encountered in ten years, and the rich households inside and outside the city should have stepped forward at this time of crisis, helped the poor and the weak, and survived this difficulty together." It's a pity that those unscrupulous profiteers took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in the country, selling grain more expensive than oil, and oil more expensive than meat, so raising prices, the government can't bear it! Today, I received an order from the Yangzhou government to come to your home to buy grain at a low price, you had better cooperate, otherwise I won't be able to take care of the face of my acquaintances! Hurry up and hand over the 50,000 stone grain in Qingyuan! ”

Qing'er was so angry that her cheeks swelled, grinding her teeth and scolding: "Dead Han Fang, are you deaf?!" I just said that my family only has 20,000, you have to say 50,000! I said that my family is a good citizen, but you have to say that my family is a profiteer! My brother is Liao Zhiyuan, the general of Jinyiwei, and her husband is General Meng Xuanmeng, you are deliberately bullying people, see how the two of them teach you a lesson! ”

Han Fang was not afraid, and snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly hand over the grain and weigh it, and exchange it for silver according to the weight!" We received a tip-off report, saying that your family has 50,000 stone of new rice, and you are the rich family with the most grain in this area, and the largest family in the family has only 3,000 yuan. You are not listed for sale now, it does not mean that you are innocent and not suspicious, maybe you think the current market price of 160 Wen a bucket is too low, and you want to wait? ”

"Put your big bullshit!"

Qing'er completely tore off the lady's disguise, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was secretly observing, thought that her stupidity had flare up again, and Qing'er sneered: "What is 'maybe' that the market price is low?" This is clearly a trumped-up charge! My family had 20,000 stone of grain, and a group of refugees came, Xiaoyi didn't say a word, and transferred 1,000 stone from the warehouse to relieve the disaster. Some people questioned that she did not have this right, saying that Meng Xuan bought the grain, and only asked her to help keep it, so she didn't say a word, and took out the dowry money of 2,000 taels of silver, and at the market price of 160 wen and 1 bucket, she 'bought' 1,000 stone of grain in her own home and with her own husband for disaster relief. If you don't believe it, you can look at the account book, the two thousand taels of silver bills are attached to the account, and it is clear at a glance! If she is still called a profiteer, then you who are not in her position should jump into the Huangpu River! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang in the dark couldn't help nodding his head, but he didn't expect the young lady to speak softly, looking very cowardly, he had such courage, and it was really rare to be able to have such a great kindness.

And Han Fang opened his mouth after hearing this, he only heard that Qingyuan sent grain for disaster relief, which was all He Angelica's idea, but he had never heard of such a twist and turn in the middle. It was really a big loss for him to fail to include a beautiful girl with such virtue into his Han family's inner house, and he was deeply angry when he thought about it.

In fact, he led the troops to outflank Qingyuan this time, and the so-called parity of the official food was just an excuse, he reached a mysterious deal with a mysterious person, so he came to do this good deal. Originally, he was also a little difficult, and he didn't want to get along with the giant crocodile of the Meng family on the surface, but later the mysterious person told him that Meng Xuan and Meng Ying were not there in the Qing Garden, and there was only one person who was more delicate than the flowers, soft and tender The little lady of the He family, the bride named He Angelica was in charge, and she was just married and kept the empty boudoir alone, soaked in tears day and night, just waiting for a flower cherisher to explain......

That remark made his heart itch, even if he didn't mention the various interest chains under this transaction, just thinking that he could lead the troops into the garden and have something to do with He Angelica, who was a first-time wife...... Just thinking about it makes me wonderful. So he didn't even ask for the opinion of his father Han Fei, and resolutely signed a contract with the mysterious man and threw himself into King Ning's camp.

"Miss He, what do you say?" Han let go of his hand, looked at He Angelica condescendingly, and asked with a smile, "Are you willing to cooperate with the government's righteous actions?" ”

He Angelica lowered his head and sighed: "I'm a woman, what else can I say, the official can say whatever he wants." ”

"That'...... Why don't we go inside and say? Han Fang lowered his voice and asked tentatively.

"But by your will." He Angelica buried his head deeply.
