Meizhou Mansion of Lingnan Province, the county guard Yamen came today An unusual guest, this guest is a military attaché, a small Zhenwei lieutenant, the grade is not high, from the sixth grade. What surprised the officials of the county guard was that the dignified county guard Zhao Yingqi not only came out to greet him in person, but also respectfully invited the captain to his study to meet.

Not everyone is qualified to enter the county guard Zhao Yingqi's study, and officials large and small in Meizhou, except for Li Jinglong, who is occasionally invited by the county guard to taste tea, have always been idlers. Today, the study of the county guard actually made an exception for a small lieutenant Zhenwei, which inevitably made people guess that this lieutenant Zhenwei was either a relative of the emperor or a family of the lord of the county guard.

No, the curious Gongcao Liu Mingqing came to the barracks with a pot of good tea, and came to chat with Zhou Guyang, a warden in the barracks who is known as a "know-it-all", saying that he came to chat, but in fact, he wanted to inquire about the origin of this Zhenwei captain.

When the officials in the barracks saw Master Gong Cao coming, they all hurriedly stood up and said hello, and Lord Gong Cao didn't put on any shows, and motioned to let them continue to be busy with their own affairs.

Zhou Guyang, the warden of the military room, has three hobbies, green buildings, famous flowers, and good tea. Tasting the good tea brought by Liu Gongcao, Zhao Guyang looked intoxicated, "Lord Gongcao, your tea is Yangxi's Kung Fu Yanhong?"

Liu Mingqing cocked his thumb and smiled, "Zhou Dianyi is really a tea ceremony expert, so he will give it a taste, this is a gift from my classmate and friend Qidong County Lingsun, just such a can, I have not been willing to drink it for two months, and today Xia Guan took it out and tasted it with Zhao Dian. ”

Zhou Guyang said with a smile: "Lord Gongcao has rarely come to my small barracks, and today he suddenly visited with a pot of tea, I think there is something to ask?"

Liu Gongcao laughed, "People say that Brother Zhou, you are a smart person, sure enough, not only is the tea tasting great, but the character is also so powerful, the lower officials really admire it! This tea, the lower officials will share half of you later!"

Zhou Guyang tapped Liu Mingqing with his finger and said with a smile, "Then ask Lord Gongcao to give me half of the tea now, otherwise after a while, you, the old fox, will pretend to be confused, saying that you haven't promised this, the official hat on your head is bigger than mine, can I still have the courage to go to you to grab tea?"

Liu Gongcao was overjoyed, "He is worthy of being a warden, he really doesn't lose anything at all, and he doesn't lose money at all, he doesn't lose money when he does things, it's just a drop of water! If you want to pick up some cheap money here with your brother Zhao, it's very difficult! Let's put it bluntly, I'm curious about the Captain Zhenwei who can be met by the county guard in the study, and I've never been to the county guard's study to drink a cup of tea." ”

Zhou Guyang waved his hand, with a look of disdain, and said in a low voice: "Damn, if you want to talk about this Zhenwei captain, he is really a 'talent'! This surname is Zhu, he was brought back from Jiannan Dao by the prince of Lingnan half a month ago, his father's name is Zhu Dachang, and he is the owner of a black tiger gate in Jiannan Dao. ”

Liu Gongcao was a little surprised, leaned his head over and asked softly: "I haven't heard of the Black Tiger Gate, there are at least two or three hundred gangs like this on the rivers and lakes, if not four or five hundred, right? Not to mention that his father is just a former palace guard, and he himself is just a junior lieutenant from the sixth grade, what's the big deal? Is it worth meeting the county guard in the study?"

Zhou Guyang sneered, "How else to say that it is a talent? His father Zhu Da often sacrifices his daughter to sleep with the old prince, and he looks at the wind outside the door, what about this goods, he sacrifices his own wife to the current prince to sleep, and he relies on this to get a Zhenwei lieutenant from the sixth grade, the prince still relies on him, and the prince has 3,000 pro-troops in the palace, so the prince let him bring 1,000! You say, for such a play, do the county guards dare to slack off?"

Liu Mingqing asked with a look of disdain: "Offering a wife to seek glory? What kind of entertainment is this? This kind of goods is also worthy of the county guard to come out to greet him in person, and please go into the study to drink tea? If I am the county guard, the birds will not bird him!"

Zhou Guyang shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't understand, how can the county guard offend him? This Captain Zhu is now a big celebrity beside the prince! Since the prince and his daughter-in-law got along, he didn't even dare to touch his daughter-in-law, according to rumors, his daughter-in-law wanted to talk to him, but he refused, he said, that's where the prince fought! Now he almost didn't offer his daughter-in-law!"

Liu Gongcao was listening attentively to Zhou Guyang's words, and when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and the tea he just drank in his mouth sprayed Zhou Guyang's face, and quickly apologized, stood up and helped Zhou Guyang wipe it with his sleeve, and said with a smile while wiping: "Ouch, I'll go, this lieutenant is a green head." ”

Zhou Guyang wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Isn't there a saying in the rivers and lakes that says, 'If you want to have fun in life, you have to have a little green on your head'? This Senior Colonel Zhu is a good person! My generation can only admire and admire." Don't talk about a little fucking lieutenant Zhenwei, even if you give me a strategic envoy and a temperate degree, I can't do this kind of thing!"

Liu Mingqing, who was holding his forehead and thinking about this matter, smiled bitterly, "So you are just a warden now, I am just a gongcao, there are some things that people like us can't do!"

Zhu Juxian, the captain of Zhenwei, who was wearing a purple brocade robe and had a carved ebony hairpin on his head, rode on his horse triumphantly, and said goodbye to the county guard who insisted on sending it outside the Yimen.

Zhao Yingqi, the county guard, stood at the door of the yamen, looking at Captain Zhu leaving with a smile, then turned around and went all the way back to the study, but unexpectedly saw his wife Miao Shuyan sitting in the study, and behind Mrs. Miao stood the little maid Cuiliu, seeing that the adult had entered the study, hurry up and ask for peace, Zhao Yingqi waved his hand and signaled that she was exempt.

Seeing that the chair that Mrs. was sitting on was the chair that Zhu Juxian had just sat on, Lord County Shou sank his face and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't sit on that chair, even the white jade cup on the table will be thrown out of the house!"

Miao Shuyan was very puzzled when she heard this, and asked, "Master, this pear blossom chair and the white jade cup are your favorite things, and they are also worth a lot of money, and they haven't broken down, why did you throw them away?"

Zhao Yingqi, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually scolded for the first time, "Damn, Zhu Juxian's grandson sat on the chair just now, and used the white jade cup on the table for tea, I really feel disgusting, let's throw it away, otherwise I look dirty!"

Miao Shuyan and the county guard have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, and they know that their husband has always been thrifty, how could there be no reason today because a person surnamed Zhu is about to lose his favorite pear blossom wood chair and white jade cup?

Zhao Yingqi saw the confusion on his wife's face, and said slowly, "I can't afford to offend, this Zhu Juxian is a celebrity next to the prince, the official worships Captain Zhenwei, with a thousand pro-troops from the palace, usually he doesn't even wear armor, he is dressed in a purple brocade robe, and he has a sandalwood hairpin pinned to his head, which is nondescript, and he has a big jasper wrench rewarded by the prince in his hand, and he is reluctant to even sleep to pick it!"

Miao Shuyan couldn't help laughing, "Master, even if it's a celebrity next to the prince, if you don't like it, you won't even throw away the chair and cup?"

Zhao Yingqi said angrily: "If he were just a celebrity next to the prince, I wouldn't be like this." This man dedicated his daughter-in-law to the prince to sleep, so he fished such a small lieutenant Zhenwei. That's why I thought he was disgusting, so I wanted to throw away the chair and the cup, right?"

Miao Shuyan hurriedly got up from the chair Zhu Juxian had sat on, nodded and said, "Then if you lose it, you will lose it, I also feel disgusting when you say that." ”

Zhao Yingqi looked up at the roof of the study, and lamented: "There is no way, the Lingnan Royal Mansion is only more than two miles away from my county guard, although I am an official appointed by the imperial court, but I am actually working under the nose of the Lingnan King, I can't afford to offend and can't hide, what do you think I can do? I just hope that this well-dressed beast Captain Zhu will come to the county guard's mansion, otherwise I will throw things out and make my county guard poor!"

Miao Shuyan nodded, "This thing is actually difficult to do, and you have to be loyal to the monarch, and you can't offend the prince here, my lord, you are the county guard, just like the mouse in the bellows, angry at both ends!"

Zhao Yingqi scolded vaguely and said in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't!"

The little maid Cuiliu behind Mrs. Miao laughed secretly, and quickly covered her mouth, for fear that the old man and Mrs. would be angry when they heard it.

Meizhou City is the largest city in the entire Lingnan Province, with a population of more than 800,000 people, although it is far less prosperous than Yongan City, nor as flowery as Tianchangfu in Jiangnan Province, but it is second to none in Lingnan Province.

Zhao Yingqi has been a county guard here for five years, I don't know how long he will have to do it, whether he likes it or not, he also has to deal with the Lingnan palace of the Tiangao Emperor, and he also has to call the Lingnan King's subordinate officials brothers, and sometimes he has to look at people's faces, after all, people are under the eaves, how dare they not bow their heads?

The famous Lingnan County Mansion is in the south of this Meizhou City, covering an area of more than 100 acres, although Lingnan Wang Yinchun is also lustful, but far inferior to Pingxi Wang Yinquan, the palace did not search for so many beautiful women, otherwise he would not have been angry at the crown because of a Ximen Yushuang, all the way to Jiannan Road.

After Yin Chun was slapped in the face by Tang Jiusheng in the Zhu family's courtyard, he learned to bear the burden of humiliation, and when he returned to the palace, he hid in the side hall and read angrily, and he had the strength to hang the beam and stab the stock. Anyway, now that his strength is not enough to raise an army to rebel, it is better to quietly recruit troops and accumulate strength.

Half a month after returning from Jiannan Road, Yin Chun didn't even leave the gate of the palace, but Zhu Juxian was very "considerate" and brought his daughter-in-law into the palace to accompany him twice.

Yin Chun used to have a princess, who was the sister of the Henghai general Dong Bojing, who was jealous, and Yin Chun didn't want to fall out with Princess Dong and her mother's family for the sake of his own rebellion, so he only married a girl from a family who was not good-looking as a side concubine to appease Princess Dong. I really miss a woman, so I sneak to the Qinglou every once in a while to find fun.

Later, Princess Dong fell ill and died, leaving behind a five-year-old child. Soon after, someone introduced Ximen Yushuang to Yin Chun, so he quietly went to Ximen's house, and was shocked when he saw Ximen Yushuang, and vowed to marry back as a side concubine.

As a result, Ximen Yushuang saw that his image was ugly, fat like a pig, so he was scared to run away from marriage, Yin Chun was already inferior because of his ugly appearance, Ximen Yushuang's escape from marriage made his fragile heart hurt heavily, and he hid in the study and cried secretly several times.

Fortunately, Zhu Juxian's wife Nangong Feiyan only cares about the power in his hands and does not dislike his ugliness, which makes Lingnan Wang Yinchun regain a little bit of poor self-esteem, so he can't stop wanting Zhu Juxian's wife.

Zhu Juxian got benefits here in Yinchun, and became a powerful lieutenant with more than 1,000 soldiers, he was overjoyed, and wholeheartedly stammered with the prince, coaxing the prince to be happy, and only hated that he didn't marry a few more beautiful wives at the beginning.

Now everyone in the palace knows that Zhu Xiaowei's wife and the prince have a leg, and they are all pointing behind their backs and saying cool things, but since Zhu Juxian can do this kind of thing to dedicate his wife to glory, where does he care about other people's eyes?

Zhu Juxian secretly said in his heart, "Cut, Lao Tzu went to the county guard yamen, and the county guard had to greet him with a smile, you people who look down on me are obviously jealous of me Zhu Juxian!"

There is no shame in ancient times.
