Taichang Chengfu:

The Taichang Mansion in the night still looks very lively.

Although it was a remote place, and there were few pedestrians outside, there were many servants in the house, and at this time, after dinner, people who had nothing to do gathered in the last courtyard to say something that had nothing to do with them.

Like tonight.

In the second courtyard of the mansion, several rooms were lit with candles, and Xu Zhi was in the house of the concubine who had given him a lot of ideas.

The concubine has changed into a very close-fitting nightdress, and the long hair on the top of her head has been opened, and she seems to be ready to sleep, but Xu Zhi is still in high spirits, and she doesn't want to sleep at all, and her eyes are just staring at the concubine's delicate posture.

"Your Excellency can't rest in the concubine's house tonight, this morning, the eldest lady sent someone to inquire, saying that the adult has been in poor health recently, and he plans to find Lang Zhong to treat the adult." The concubine said.

"So what?" Xu Zhi asked.

"Can't you hear that this is the eldest lady warning the concubine?" The concubine pursed her lips, "The adult's body has always been very good, but she wants to say that it is not good, isn't this obviously saying that the concubine's body is too tired for the adult?" The concubine is only thinking about adults, but she is misunderstood by the eldest lady, and she has to suffer from such a nest. ”

Xu Zhi laughed.

"This kind of thing doesn't have to be taken to heart, just wait for the Japanese official to go to the front and teach her a good lesson."

The concubine let out a seductive hum from her nose.

"I'm afraid that the adults are afraid of the power of the eldest lady's family, so they are just coaxing the concubine here, right?"

This sentence really touched Xu Zhi's sore spot.

His eldest wife, that is, his original wife, and his brother are the chief managers of the money and food of the forbidden army in the imperial court, although they are not warriors who lead the troops to fight, but they are in charge of the lifeblood of the entire forbidden army, not to mention those ordinary warriors, even if they are the commander of the forbidden army, they must keep their voices low in front of him. Otherwise, as long as he gives an order, delay or reduce the allocation of some money and food, you will immediately realize what it means to be angry and resentful.

Of course, this kind of thing will not happen easily, and it is a big crime to dare to attack the forbidden army.

Having said that, the chief steward usually received much more money than an ordinary official.

And the chief manager took care of and trusted his sister, and a lot of wealth was placed in his sister, Xu Zhi's official position was low, and he didn't have much money, but he had used this wealth over the years.

Because of this, he always looks low and pleasing in front of the eldest lady.

is also based on this, every time something major happens in the imperial court, as long as the forbidden army takes action, Xu Zhi can always get some news.

He knew very well that this eldest brother could not be offended.

As he was pondering what to do, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

A little maid ran in nervously.

"The eldest lady came with a few people, and it seems that she came for the little lady." Before the little maid finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

The eldest lady stood in the doorway with a sneer on her face.

"My lord hasn't stepped into my door for a long time, and my concubine thought that my lord was sick, but it turned out that she had been hiding here from this little slut, and it seemed that my brother had sent too much money and food on weekdays, so I wanted my lord to use idle funds to support such goods?"

Xu Zhi hurriedly stood up.

The concubine nervously tried to hide behind Xu Zhi.

"Madame doesn't need to be angry, this official is really unwell these days, maybe it's because Sima Ban Confucian Marquis arrived, he drank too much, and he was thinking about going to the front to visit Madame." Xu Zhi rolled his eyes and said.

"If the concubine doesn't come, will the adults also have to sleep in loose clothes? But do you use such nonsense to deceive concubines? The eldest lady did not relent, and pointed to the concubine and said.

The concubine wrapped herself tightly in her nightdress and didn't dare to say anything.

The little maid who had just come in to report the news wanted to distinguish a few words for her master at this time.

"The eldest lady doesn't know, my little lady was still asking the adults to go to the eldest lady's house just now, and the slave maid heard it clearly outside the door, the eldest lady must not wronged my little lady."

The little maid said such things to please the master, but the eldest lady was very angry.

"Even a dog minion dares to speak to me like this, it looks like I'm going to give up my position as a big lady to you." As he spoke, he rushed into the house, waved his hand and slapped the little maid fiercely.

The little maid was beaten so much that her eyes were full of stars, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"The eldest lady is angry, and the slave knows that she is wrong."

This sentence of "knowing that I am wrong" is not tight, and the eldest lady is even more angry in an instant.

"How can such unruly minions be spared, come, dragged outside, and slap their mouths."

The two maids who came with her were instructed to break in and drag the little maid out.

Standing outside the door were the two eldest ladies who brought the bridal servants from home, not to mention scolding a little maid, even if the eldest lady ordered to scold Xu Zhi, they would not hesitate.

The little maid's screams frightened the little concubine trembling.

Looking at Xu Zhi, who was pale, the eldest lady was also worried that it would completely anger him, and it would not end well at that time, so she left with a sneer, thinking in her heart that Xu Zhi would definitely go to the front to find herself after a while.

The concubine lay on the bed and whimpered and cried.

Xu Zhi kept rubbing his hands in the room.

"The eldest lady is so vicious, the concubine will be harmed by her sooner or later, and the adult still lets the concubine out as soon as possible, even if she falls into Willow Lane or marries a villain in the market, it is better to suffer such humiliation." The concubine said pitifully.

"This official is not afraid of her, but of his brother, and he is extremely helpless." Xu Zhi sighed.

After a while, the concubine suddenly stopped crying and sat up.

"If the eldest lady really does not give up the concubine to leave, and is afraid that the eldest lady's brother will find trouble, the concubine has an idea, but if the eldest lady does not want to trouble the adult, his brother will not dare to say more."

Xu Zhi still knows the concubine's scheming, the last time she captured Sima Banru and gave it to Sima Yan, it was her idea, although on the surface Sima Yan didn't say anything, but it seems that since then, his trust in himself has been one step closer.

"Tell me, lady."

The concubine leaned into Xu Zhi's ear: "The concubine knows that the adult has been worried about Sima Banru and the eunuch named Chen Ji recently, and she can't kill or stay, and the concubine's plan is just enough to make the two of them get out of the house, and they don't dare to come again." ”

Xu Zhi listened attentively, and after a long time, he said as if he was a little worried, "This kind of thing is also very dull on the official's face." ”

"If it is rumored that my lord is afraid of Mrs., there must be little light left on his face, how can he still be so kind to a woman?" The concubine sneered.

At this time, the little maid who had been beaten and her cheeks were red and swollen walked in, knelt in front of the two and cried.

The little concubine took advantage of the topic to play, holding the little girl and wiping her tears and snot.

Being troubled by the two of them like this, Xu Zhi lost his due calm, stomped his feet fiercely, and leaned over to pull the two up.

"You wait for Hugh to cry, wait for the official to arrange someone to do it, if it is done, the official will ask you to sit in the position of the eldest lady."

"Is this true?" The concubine's crying stopped instantly.
