It was a pair of wet eyes.

His eyes were flushed with red, and his eyes were full of moisture, but he was still smiling, looking relaxed.

But how can laughter be faked?

The corners of his mouth went up, but the ends trembled uncontrollably. His eyelashes were wet with moisture in his eyes, and the sadness and nostalgia in his eyes didn't have to be Song Zhaojin in the slightest, but it seemed that he was supporting something with his shoulders, and he didn't allow himself to cry.

But the huge mansion was on his shoulders, and it always seemed that the shoulders were too weak.

Zhao Xuan watched the tears roll down his cheeks, and in an instant they disappeared into his clothes.

The moment the tears fell, the hand in Zhao Xuan's sleeve trembled slightly.

He seemed to want to reach out to wipe the tear away, or maybe he wanted to reach out and touch the back of the man's head and smooth his wet eyes into his shoulder socket.

There was a small noise in his bones, like tears falling into his rusted bones.

——

Fang Linyuan only felt that he had lost his temper.

Such a big person is also the head of the entire Hou Mansion, and he really shouldn't shed tears in front of his eldest sister-in-law and Chang Nian at this time.

He hurriedly raised his arm and wiped it on his face, rubbing his eyes quickly by the way, and didn't know what kind of scene his appearance fell into Zhao Pu's eyes at this time.

Then, he saw Zhao Pu come forward and stop in front of him.

He still had a silk handkerchief in his hand, as if he was going to hand it to him.

Fang Linyuan raised his head and looked at Zhao Pu.

The weather was getting warmer day by day, and his dress changed from silk to satin, and for the past two days it was changed to a gauze as thin as a cicada's wings.

His soft and light dress should be embroidered with the pattern of Feiyan's spring, Fang Linyuan didn't recognize it, At this time, through the sun outside, it was illuminated transparently, and Feiyan's shadow was mottled on his body.

He saw Zhao Xuan looking at him with his eyes down, his face sunk in the dark still had no expression, but his eyes, which were cold and charming, seemed deeper than usual for some reason.

For a moment, Fang Linyuan actually had an illusion, as if he had stepped into the air and fell into a pile of cold but soft satin.

He blinked, and the tears that had just been rubbed by himself still hung on his eyelashes, falling with his eyelashes.

He saw Zhao Pu stretch out his hand.

Through the thin handkerchief, Fang Linyuan felt his warm fingertips wipe under his eyes and catch the tears.

Then, Zhao Pu's hand lifted upwards and stroked the top of his hair softly and silently.

This action was a bit out of bounds, but Fang Linyuan clearly realized that Zhao Pu was comforting him.

It's like soothing some small animal.

Fang Linyuan wanted to laugh at Zhao Pu for a while, but he just shed two tears, how could he look like he was facing a great enemy, as if the sky had fallen.

But the corners of his mouth had just risen two inches, but Zhao Pu's soft sleeves happened to brush the side of his face, touching him and sliding gently.

Cool but soft, like a gust of wind trying to hold him up.

The corners of Fang Linyuan's mouth trembled, and the water vapor that had just dissipated condensed into his eyes in an instant.

The next moment, the drop of water slid down his cheek with the sourness that surged from the tip of his nose.

He was sad, he was used to it, but he never forgot it, he missed his mother, his father and brother very much.

When he lost them, he was still a teenager half a head shorter than all the generals around him.

The enemy general on the opposite side laughed and coaxed him to open the city gate like a child, and the soldiers behind him cried, tearing off the hem of his shirt and writing a desperate letter to his family.

How dare he show his weakness in front of anyone, and when he hugged his brother in the middle of the night and left his armor in tears, he bit his lip and didn't dare to make a sound.

He was so used to it, and for a while, he forgot what it was like to be appeased.

It is also forgotten that tears are more likely to fall when someone comforts you.

——

Chang Nian saw the silent movements of the two of them, and his subordinates stopped, and then met Zhao Pu's gaze.

The little aunt, who was very tall but especially beautiful, looked at him, smiled slightly, and put a finger to her lips.

He understood that this was what he meant not to tell his mother.

Chang Nian nodded obediently and quickly to the little aunt, and also raised a finger and made a "shhh" gesture in front of his mouth.

The little aunt smiled and nodded at him.

But the little uncle immediately discovered the secret of the two of them, and his eyebrows trembled, as if he was embarrassed.

I saw that he hurriedly took the handkerchief in the little aunt's hand, stretched out his hand and pushed the little aunt, looked up at her and seemed to be a little flustered, and his hand was gesturing.

But the little aunt is still the same, Chang Nian just learned a word, called "light clouds and light wind".

She smiled lightly, nodded lightly at the little uncle, and walked back to the stairs silently, turning her head to look at the maid beside her.

"Big lady, the Fifth Highness has arrived." The maid said with a smile.

——

"I got good news, and I came to congratulate my eldest sister-in-law on the honor." I saw Zhao Pu saluting Song Zhaojin with a calm demeanor and said. "There were also two letters of worship sent to the gatehouse, so I accepted them for my eldest sister-in-law first."

Fang Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly wiped his face with Zhao Pu's handkerchief, and when he withdrew from his sad emotions, he didn't forget to bare his teeth at Changnian who smiled at him.

Look at what, stinky kid!

Chang Nian smiled at him and covered his mouth, as if he had done something with Zhao Pu. Fang Linyuan taught him that his ears were a little hot, and he squeezed his fist twice at him.

Laugh again, and I'll take you out in a while, and punish you for three sets of punches in the big sun!

On the side, Song Zhaojin didn't notice anything unusual.

"Your Highness." She wiped away her tears and said softly. "You may be seated. Why are the people below so unruly, and His Highness won't be able to spread the word. ”

"Seeing that the Hou Ye and the eldest sister-in-law were talking, they didn't bother." I saw Zhao Pu sit down at the bottom and said to Song Zhaojin.

He was really a person who was not surprised everywhere, and everyone present knew that he was lying, but he looked so comfortable that people couldn't hear anything strange at all.

"Your Highness just said that there is a prayer post?" Song Zhaojin asked again.

"Yes. There are those sent by the Loyal Shun Bofu and the Ministry of War, all of which are congratulatory to you. Zhao Pu replied.

"There is joy in the house, it's time for a banquet." Speaking of this, Song Zhaojin showed two points of sadness on his face.

She has bad eyes, and she always struggles when she gets to such times.

Fang Linyuan also looked over when he heard this, and was about to speak, but saw Zhao Pu at the bottom of the stairs and said slowly: "Yes." If the eldest sister-in-law is relieved, she will leave it all to me. When the time comes, you just have to show up at the banquet and don't worry about anything else. ”

"I'm afraid it's too hard, Your Highness." Song Zhaojin said busily.

Fang Linyuan also looked at Zhao Pu.

But seeing that even if Song Zhaojin couldn't see it, he still showed a faint smile, and his voice was softer than Su Ri's.

"It's okay, I don't usually have anything to do, and I'm bored." He said.

"The banquet affairs are complicated, and for those trivial matters, His Highness can only command the Sui Dynasty." Song Zhaojin responded when he heard this.

I heard Zhao Pu hum, and then said: "If you want to hold a banquet, it is better to choose another auspicious day and open the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the ancestors." ”

Fang Linyuan and Song Zhaojin were both stunned.

I saw Zhao Pu continue.

"I just listened to two more gossip from the side. Thinking that the Fang family was full of loyalty, the elder brother also sacrificed his life for righteousness back then. Such a happy event should be told to Hou Ye's parents and brothers. ”

Fang Linyuan rarely heard Zhao Pu say so many words, trivial matters were entangled, but they were all his family affairs.

is so thoughtful and attentive, as if he is facing Zhao Pu's own people.

Fang Linyuan only felt a little in a trance for a while.

Song Zhaojin's eyes on the side were wet again: "Your Highness is so thoughtful, I really ......"

She choked up for a moment, and only wiped away her tears after a moment said, "...... If the elders of the family know, they will definitely be happy for the Hou Ye, and they will have to marry you. ”

Fang Linyuan looked at Zhao Pu and saw that Zhao Pu's gaze also turned around.

The words in his mouth were clearly said to Song Zhaojin, a pair of eyes, but he looked straight at him.

"You don't have to worry." He said.

"With me here, just rest assured."

——

The wedding banquet of the Marquis of Anping was very lively.

Seeing that it was summer, the plants and trees in the house became more and more lush, and the living water lake in the garden also rippled clearly. On the occasion of the lanterns of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Pu also moved a pond of lotus flowers from the south, the lotus flowers all over the capital did not bloom, only the weeping willows in the Hou Mansion of Anping were verdant, the lotus leaves were in the fields, and the red and bright koi carp shuttled among them, which was a strange scene.

The wedding banquet was also held by the lotus pond.

The female relatives who were good friends with Song Zhaojin in Jingzhong knew the old things of the year, and they kept a secret about the things that she had not been sealed, and no one mentioned it. Now that she has finally been sealed, her rank is high, and when they gathered around Song Zhaojin, the joy was almost all written on her face.

Mrs. Zhongshun Bo gave a full two big gifts in the light, and when she saw Fang Linyuan at the banquet, her eyes were red and she insisted on giving him a glass of wine: "General, Zhaojin can have a younger brother like you, it is a blessing for her to cultivate." ”

Li Cheng'an, Lou Shuo and others also followed their families to the banquet, in addition to congratulatory gifts, they also sealed a huge red envelope, and even the Qin Guogong who was not invited gave a special gift, which was piled up in the front yard of the Anping Marquis Mansion.

"General, we all heard about what you did outside the city two days ago!" During the feast, several children of the Sixteen Guards forcibly surrounded Fang Linyuan in one place, painting their voices and colors.

Li Chengan sighed beside him: "Thousands of miles of night attack, this is too handsome!" ”

When Fang Linyuan heard this, he smiled and pushed his elbow: "How can there be a thousand miles?" Read more books and don't mess with words. ”

While a few people were talking and laughing, Fang Linyuan turned his eyes and happened to see Zhao Pu, who had just toasted with several female relatives not far away.

"I'll go over for a moment." Fang Linyuan immediately left the crowd, and after a brief greeting to those people, he headed towards Zhao Pu.

The few people behind him didn't forget to laugh: "Look at the general, I'm going to find his wife again!" ”

Fang Linyuan ignored them and stopped in front of Zhao Pu.

"I should thank you." Thinking of the situation in Jiyue Hall that day, he smiled a little embarrassed.

It was his gaffe that day, thanks to Zhao Pu who took care of his emotions.

I saw Zhao Xuan turn his head to look at him, and there was a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, which was as light as a budding hosta flower in spring.

"Thank me for what?" Just listen to him ask.

"The banquet of the eldest sister-in-law is indebted to you to manage it inside and out. I see you've been so busy that you turn off the lights late at night. He said. …… And that day. ”

What happened that day, he couldn't say anything after that, after all, an adult is always embarrassed to mention the matter of crying in front of others.

Zhao Pu looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and then asked, "What was that day?" ”

The vixen wasn't as bad as he had known him, but he wasn't a good man.

br />

Fang Linyuan muttered in his heart, picked up the wine jug next to him and poured himself a full glass, and said, "Don't say so much, I'll thank you for a bar today." ”

When he mentioned the tears he had shed that day, he was like a deer whose eyes were so frightened that he was rounded.

Zhao Pu chuckled, took the wine in his hand, and raised it to him.

Fang Linyuan raised his head and drank it all.

Zhao Pu's gaze paused on his undulating, slender neck, and he drank the wine in the cup.

He is very tall, and he has always worn embroidered shoes with extremely thin bottoms, even so, at this time, he is the same height as Fang Linyuan, who is wearing boots.

From a distance, there is a kind of evenly matched harmony.

"The general and Her Royal Highness the princess Qin Se and Ming, it seems that they are on the right track!" Not far away, the female relatives who surrounded Song Zhaojin saw this scene and said with a smile to Song Zhaojin.

Everyone around immediately praised them, saying that the princess and Fang Linyuan were immortal couples.

"The two of them have always been in love, and it is a blessing for the second brother to marry a princess." When Song Zhaojin heard this, his face was kind.

Seeing this, several female relatives not far away also sighed: "Although the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Anping had a bad fate in her early years, with a junior like the Hou of Anping supporting the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that the blessings in the future will be very long." ”

"The Feng Shui of the Marquis of Anping is good, and there are always some heroes." Someone on the side chimed in.

"I just haven't seen any news about the belly of the Fifth Highness?" Another female dependant whispered. "It's been months now......"

"What's the matter, Her Royal Highness the princess has no news, have you been tempted?" The lady next to her asked with a smile. "Do you still want to send someone into the Hou Mansion to open up branches for the general?"

Everyone around laughed.

"Oh, what can I think? The door of the Anping Marquis Mansion, where is our family can climb. The woman smiled and nudged her.

"You think! But if the marquis agrees, the children of his relatives will be sent as concubines, and he must be willing to do it, right? ”

The half-truths and half-truths of the crowd laughed and laughed, and for a while, they couldn't tell whether anyone really had the idea.

——

The Feng Hanxue case in Dongchang's hands has come to an end for the time being, but the review of the Jiangnan ink corruption case in Beijing is becoming more and more severe day by day.

Fang Linyuan has also heard about it in the past few days.

Feng Hanxue and Qiu Shuo alone involved several Beijing officials, and I don't know what other big names there are on the heads of those Beijing officials. In the past few days, from Jinyiwei to Dongchang and then to Dali Temple, taking people and copying homes has been very busy.

Fang Linyuan is not very idle.

Because of a few days of hard work, there was a quarrel in the court.

As he and Zhao Pu expected, many of the officials who had been involved with Feng and Qiu in the past were eager to get out and choose themselves from them. There are also some who are slightly contaminated, and they can't wait to cut the table immediately, and make their positions clear and clear up the relationship.

Therefore, there was a speech official who participated in the concert and impeached the household department for embezzling disaster funds, saying that there was such a precedent, and the household department must have done a lot of similar things, and it was necessary to check the account books of the past years in detail.

The officials of the household department are in charge of money, and how many of them can stand up to scrutiny.

So, within two days, an official from the household department participated in the recital, saying that he had found evidence that Qiu Shuo had relied on the convenience of his fellow villagers to pay a large amount of bribes to officials from Jiangnan in Beijing. It is said that they regard their fellow villagers as the party and cover each other, and officials from Jiangnan need to be strictly questioned than the household department.

Jiangnan officials in Beijing, who is not a protégé of Lord Sang Zhixin!

Who is Lord Sang Zhixin, the current court phase is vacant, he is the most sacred heart and the most powerful Zhongshu squire today!

These people immediately attacked in groups, saying that these officials from the capital were in the same way, and they were powerful and prosperous in Beijing, and the people did not mention it, but they talked about the hometown of others.

In the past few days, a bad debt in Jiangnan has been prevaricated back and forth by several parties, and it has gradually evolved into a fight in the market. In order to defend their own interests, the lords of the various yamen did not care about the face of the scholars, and attacked each other in a mess.

Today you will join me in arsoning with slaves and bullying the market, and tomorrow I will participate in your private morality and not cultivating in the Qinglou. The day after tomorrow, a certain courtier was extravagant and extravagant, so he inlaid Dongzhu on his underwear as a decoration.

These things were told to him by Lin Zimiao when he put a stack of files on Fang Linyuan's desk.

There was a lot of noise in the court, and the ministers smashed each other's heads on specious charges. They quarreled happily, but all the participating piles needed to be verified by Jinyiwei.

Lin Zimao's leg is about to break.

"I started your majesty today, and the emperor has agreed that you will share part of the case file." Lin Zimiao said. "These are all singled out cases, they don't matter, you can check them one by one while patrolling the city."

Fang Linyuan didn't expect these things to fall on his head.

"You can't be busy, don't you still have an east factory?" He said. "Dongchang also has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, why is it my turn?"

When it came to Dongchang, Lin Zimiao's expression was a little strange.

After a moment, he said: "Your Majesty didn't like the eunuchs of the Dongji Factory when he was the crown prince, and since he ascended the throne, he has always been able to use it. ”

Fang Linyuan didn't quite understand.

At that time, the East Investigation Factory was set up, because the eunuchs in the palace were all homeless and had no queens, and they were not tied up, and they were the emperor's close attendants, so it was said that they were the most suitable people to act as the emperor's eyes and ears.

But......

Thinking of Shi Shen's obedient attitude towards Zhao Pu, I think that if it weren't for the end of the road, I wouldn't have chosen Jiamu.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan didn't say much, nodded at Lin Zimiao, and took the stack of case files.

As soon as he flipped it over, his head was big.

What's on this file? Lord A went to the Qinglou and did not pay off the credit, and Lord B and his wife did not have a harmonious relationship. Lord C secretly accepted a concubine during the period of filial piety, and Lord Ding ate soft rice flowers with his wife's dowry.

"Court battles, is this how it is?"

Fang Linyuan withheld the file back. "You Jinyi guards are busy every day, are you busy with these things?"

Lin Zimiao's gaze was serious and calm, and at first glance, he was used to seeing the world.

"Because this corruption case is too big." He said. "Everyone wants to muddy the waters, buy yourself more time, and don't choose what to say, and the case files handed over are often like this."

Fang Linyuan held the dossier and exclaimed again and again.

"You don't have to have any pressure, at most these involve the private morality of officials, just go through the process to find out." Lin Zimiao said, and handed Fang Linyuan a Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Commander card. "As long as the results are found, nothing else matters."

Fang Linyuan nodded when he heard this, and agreed.

He only felt that these cases were a headache, and Li Chengan and others were very excited. They seem to have some rare words in the world, and their enthusiasm is much higher than in the past.

"Do things according to the rules, don't offend people by looking at the excitement." Fang Linyuan admonished.

Li Chengan agreed again and again.

But Fang Linyuan knew that Li Chengan was an overlord with a lack of strings, and if he entrusted things to him, it would inevitably cause trouble.

So, after thinking about it again and again, Fang Linyuan still arranged the affairs of the sixteen guards and one and personally took people to check the case on the file.

first went to the Qinglou where Lord A visited, and found out that this adult had indeed drunk on credit after a day of drunkenness, and the money had not been repaid; I went to check on Lord B again, and his wife said that his husband and wife raised their eyebrows, which was the gossip that came out of the villain's tongue.

When I went to check Lord C again, the little concubine insisted that she had made a private agreement with the adult for life long before the death of the first master, and she cried and wanted to die after asking a few more questions; When Mrs. Ding was found, Mrs. Ding not only checked the accounts of the dowry, but also blasted out the sixteen guards who came to the door......

After a whole day, Fang Linyuan's head suddenly ached.

It's all bad debts, he simply based on the file given to him by Lin Zimiao, no matter what the result, he filled in the review details one by one, and directly replaced the next one.

After the four investigations, it was getting late.

"It's really more tiring than a day's battle." When leaving Master Ding's house, Fang Linyuan pressed his temples and said to Li Cheng'an, who was following him. "What time is it? If it's time, let's close today. ”

"There are still three quarters to go." Li Chengan held the case file on the side and said. "There's still a maintenance room in the back, general, after checking this, you can probably close the team."

Fang Linyuan only felt that his back was out of strength.

"Let's go." As soon as he took the case file, he glanced at the address quickly, and without even caring about the official's name and title, he rode in the direction of the address.

Li Chengan took the case file in his arms, raised his hand to the sixteen guards behind him, and followed Fang Linyuan's footsteps.

This family is in Chunlai Lane next to Rongchang Street.

Most of the people living in Chunlai Lane are the surrounding wealthy merchants, and most of them are three-entry courtyards.

Fang Linyuan led the people all the way, and the people sitting on the steps outside the door got up one after another to avoid them, and when they walked by, they poked their heads at the door to see whose homes these military masters were going to raid.

Fang Linyuan stopped in front of the door of the address on the case file.

It is also a three-entry courtyard, the courtyard door is closed, and three or five lush peach blossoms are planted in front of the door. There is also a peach charm left by the winter on the door, and the words on it are beautiful, which is a hairpin script commonly used by women.

Fang Linyuan raised his chin in front of the door.

Li Chengan dismounted with the two of them, stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged woman who looked like a subordinate opened the door, smiling all over her face.

Then, when she raised her head, she saw Fang Linyuan and the others.

Her smile froze on her face, and she took a step back and hurriedly closed the door.

Hey, look at this posture, this one seems to have been caught.

Li Chengan, who knocked on the door in front, immediately looked a little excited, pressed the door, and looked up at Fang Linyuan.

"Who are you?" The woman asked alarmedly.

The sixteen guards on the side immediately stepped forward, pushed the courtyard door wide open, stood on both sides and said: "We have been ordered to come to visit here, the Jinyi guard token is here, and all those who disobey the order will be put in prison pending trial." ”

The woman frightened and froze.

At this moment, a young lady came out of the depths of the peach blossoms behind her, who looked no more than twenty years old, with a delicate and charming appearance, and a child of two or three years old in her arms.

"Mother Zhang, who's out there?" She leaned over and asked.

It sounds like a southern accent, like from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, soft and soft.

The woman hurriedly turned around: "Madame, take the young master back first, but a group of Qiu Ba who came from nowhere, the slave maid sent them away." ”

The lady was shocked when she heard this, and hurried back to the house with the child in her arms.

Fang Linyuan's eyebrows moved slightly.

When you see people, you hide, and there are only female dependents, this family must be weird.

Next to him, Li Chengan's expression changed.

Qiu Ba?!

This woman is bold! Since he joined the Sixteenth Guard, he has never been called by someone with such a vulgar word!

"Someone, search immediately!" His face darkened, and he immediately ordered.

But when he saw the woman in front of the door, although she was still flustered, she put on a high-toe posture and said loudly.

"This is the private residence of the Fifth Highness and Princess Huining, where did you come from, dare to be presumptuous here!" Please keep in mind: , URL mobile version,
