Liu Dayou, the governor of the capital, has been very busy with his official duties in recent days. He wears the stars and wears the moon every day. He is often busy until midnight, and he can fall asleep with his head next to the pillow, causing his wife and concubine to complain a lot to him.
Regarding their resentful eyes, he can only pretend that he didn't see them. Several academies in Kyoto are still in the process of intensive preparations. After the preparations are completed, they will face the problem of recruiting students. When it was in his hands, he naturally had to go all out.
Now that His Majesty is retreating behind the scenes, and the Eldest Princess is temporarily in charge of the government, he, Liu Dayou, has an advantage over most officials in the court. After all, the identity of the former magistrate of Anxi County and his actions after coming to Beijing , so that he has long been labeled as the eldest princess, otherwise, the task of preparing the academy, which can earn a lot of credit, would not have fallen on his head.
Fortunately, since the Eldest Princess came to power, the situation in the court has been changing, and many people can't figure out the situation for a while, which makes the capital a lot more stable, and he doesn't have many chores to bother him, so that he can concentrate on preparing for the academy.
"grown ups."
Zhao Butou of the county office knocked on the door, walked in from the outside, stood under the hall, and bowed his hands respectfully to him.
"What's the matter?" Magistrate Liu glanced at him and asked, "Is there another difficult case?"
"It's not that difficult..." Zhao Tutou shook his head and said, "I saw people from Chen Guogong's mansion and Ningyuan Hou's mansion fighting on the street today..."
"Chen Guogong's mansion, Ningyuanhou's mansion?" County Magistrate Liu put down his pen, frowned and said, "Isn't the relationship between these two families always close, and they are both from the King of Shu? What kind of hand did they do? Have they sued the yamen?"
"That's not true." Zhao Catcher shook his head and said, "The people in the Ningyuan Hou's Mansion seemed to suffer a loss, and then they separated."
County magistrate Liu glared at him, and said, "Why did you ask me to report to the yamen? Do you think I don't have enough things here?"
"Subordinates talking too much!" Zhao Catcher quickly bowed, turned and exited the hall, and muttered in a low voice, "Then it's not good for Mr. Yu's family to provoke anyone, but to provoke that third lady of the Chen family..."
"Who?" Hearing that name, County Magistrate Liu shuddered and asked, "Who are you talking about!"
After a while, after listening to Catcher Zhao finished speaking, County Magistrate Liu heaved a sigh of relief, and murmured: "It's fine if you don't interfere, just pretend you didn't see this matter, don't get involved..."
How Duke Duanyang's two ribs were broken, he knows better than anyone else.
Moreover, although he had not been in the capital for long, he had already heard the rumors about the person who gave the matter to the adult before that.
That is a lunatic who will never recognize his relatives as long as he is touched by Ni Lin, the Yu family, the Yu family, is in big trouble...
Chen Guogong's mansion.
"The Yu family..."
Chen Chong took a sip of tea and said, "The eldest princess came to the door three times, Yu Dingfeng said he was sick, and he has already let go of the big families who run the paper workshop. He will not sell a piece of paper to the academy. The official workshop belongs to the imperial court. It is impossible to serve the academy entirely, this problem cannot be solved, the princess's academy may only be built in the sky."
Opposite him, Chen Qing nodded, "The imperial concubine is very satisfied with the Yu family this time, and the Yu family has always been the purse of His Highness the King of Shu. This time the Cui family suffered a heavy loss, and the Yu family is even more important. It is highlighted that the Yu family's status in the court will not be low in the future, maybe even my Chen family will have to rely on it... "
Although he didn't want to be taken over by others, but right now, the Yu family was more important than the Chen family, and if he could succeed in the future, the Yu family would be the one who deserved the credit.
The two brothers judged the current court situation again, and a servant came in to report.
Chen Qing glanced down, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
The servant immediately said: "Just outside, several guards of the Chen family had some conflicts with the third son Yu of the Ningyuan Houfu."
"Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, Third Young Master Yu?" Chen Qing frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "Should I speak or act? Because of what, is anyone injured?"
"It's not the two young masters, no one in our house was injured, but the third young master Yu suffered some small losses."
"It's good that no one was hurt." Chen Chong waved his hand and said, "Among young people, you can be forgiven for being young and energetic. gone."
If it was someone else, they would naturally not need generous gifts, but the Yu family was different. The Yu family had a bright future, so the Chen family still had to show a little sincerity.
He looked at the servant and asked, "It's not Liyan and Lixing, is it Lishen? He was imprisoned a few days ago, and just released today, he caused trouble again?"
The servant knelt down on the ground and said in a low voice: "It's not the young master Lishen, yes, it's the guard next to the third lady. Then, the third son of the Yu family didn't know the identity of the third lady, so he said some obscenities..."
"Miaoyu?" Chen Chong stood up abruptly from his chair and asked, "What did Yu say, say!"
"He, he said, said Miss San is... a girl from a brothel..."
Snapped!
The teacup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere.
"You bastard, he is the good son taught by Yu Dingfeng!" An extremely gloomy voice sounded in the hall.
Not long after, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps within the Chen Mansion. The second master of the Chen family looked ashen, and dozens of nurses followed behind him, and hurried out of the Chen Mansion, all the way west, aggressively, along the way Pedestrians all retreated in fear, looking in a certain direction with lingering fear, not knowing what happened...
Ningyuan Hou Mansion.
With tears in her eyes, the gorgeously dressed woman took the hand of Third Young Master Yu, and wept, "Well, who did this, my poor Yu'er..."
"The Chen family... why did you have a conflict with the Chen family? How many times have you said it? Recently, the situation in the capital is unclear. Try not to cause trouble for me. Don't you have ears?" A middle-aged man stood beside her. , looked at the third young master Yu with a bruised nose and swollen face with some distress, turned his head, and asked the guards with a cold face.
A guard said in fear: "The third son didn't do anything, they did it first. This time, it's really not the son's fault!"
As he said that, he explained the matter far and wide. Of course, he skipped over the young man's insults to the girl from the Chen family.
"Just because of a brothel girl, to offend the Chen family..." Ningyuan Hou Yu Dingfeng said with a gloomy face, "When will you give me something to eat!"
"The Chen family is too deceitful. Yu'er didn't do anything, so they beat Yu'er like this..." The woman gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, you must give Yu'er this matter." Justice!"
The middle-aged man looked at Third Young Master Yu, frowned and asked, "You had already reported your calendar at that time. Why did the Chen family do anything to you for no reason?"
Third Young Master Yu's face was full of resentment, and he said: "How do I know, everyone in the Chen family is crazy, the second master of the Chen family is, and so is the white-haired woman, I just said something to her..."
"You said..., what?" Ning Yuanhou's complexion changed, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What white-haired woman..."
Third Young Master Yu didn't seem to notice the panic on his father's face, and said, "I don't know, I just heard what that person said about Miss San..."
"Miss Chen San, Miss Chen San..., not good!"
Ning Yuanhou's face was pale, and just after he muttered a few words, a person ran in from outside in a panic.
Panting heavily, a servant from the Yu family ran over quickly, and said with a frightened expression: "Master, master, something is wrong, the Chen family, people from the Chen family are calling!"
Ning Yuanhou's face changed wildly, and he waved his hand almost without hesitation, "Quick, go and hide the young master!"
…
The second master of the Chen family brought a group of people to Chen Chong during the incident, and stormed Ningyuanhou's mansion aggressively. Even in Kyoto, which is never short of excitement, it can be regarded as a great excitement.
After hearing the news, within a very short period of time, the entire capital was boiling.
Countless people are paying attention to the progress of this matter, some people are waiting and watching in the mansion, and some people have hurried out and rushed towards Ningyuan Hou's mansion.
Inside the county government office, County Magistrate Liu told Butou Chen again: "Remember, you didn't see anything just now, and you don't know anything..."
At the household department yamen, Zeng Shilang asked for leave in a hurry, and immediately went out in a sedan chair.
As soon as the Cui family mansion was lit, the carriage drove out from the side door, and drove towards a certain direction quickly.
Qin Mansion.
Qin Yan, who had just heard the news, walked out of the mansion quickly, and when he was about to step into the carriage, a voice came from behind him.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Qin Yan had already stepped into the carriage with one foot, looked back, frowned and said, "Where have you been, you didn't even eat lunch at home, Father just asked about it..."
The fifth master of the Qin family smiled and said: "Today there is a new play in Goulan, so engrossed in watching it that I forgot the time..."
"If you like to listen to opera, just buy a few actors at home. It's better not to go to that kind of place." Qin Yan said, then boarded the carriage, put down the curtain, and urged: "Hurry up, go to Ningyuan Hou Mansion!"
The fifth master of the Qin family shook his head, and when he stepped into the Qin mansion with his hands behind his back, he murmured in a low voice.
"How can the drama at home be as good as the drama outside?"
