He quickly straightened the person up, let go of his hand, and as if he had encountered something like a cockroach, he took a step back and moved away from him.
Standing opposite her, Li Zhai straightened out the messy clothes, patted the dust on the corners of the clothes, and finally looked at her from the corner of his eye.
Hibiscus felt a little guilty, instinctively lowered her head, and looked at her toes.
In fact, she should have left at this time, but she was thinking about Fang Shu and stayed where she was.
The fingers were mixed together, and the thumb was dishonestly picking at the nails.
This is her habitual movement when she is nervous. Li Zhai knows that this is not the first time she has seen it. It was like this before she held his hand. She sprained her ankle, and it was the same when she was carried on his back.
A pair of hands hung on his chest, stirring uncomfortably, the more nervous, the faster the stirring, and now the movement is so fast that it is almost impossible to see clearly.
"Because of Fang Shu's matter?" Looking away from her hand, Li Zhai took down a bunch of keys from his waist and looked for the door one by one.
Mu Jin's eyes lit up, "I want to know if she is doing well now? Did the Shangguan family make things difficult for her? When I went to find her today, the servant refused to let her see. I was worried that she would be bullied at the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family is friendly, you must know what the Li family is like?"
Li Zhai nodded, "I know."
Mu Jin's eyes became brighter, and she was about to speak when Li Zhai interrupted, "But why should I tell you? Who are you to me?"
Mu Jin's eyes darkened, sure enough, this was the result.
I knew it in my heart, but I still couldn't help being disappointed.
In fact, she was making fun of herself, and even knowing what she knew, she still wanted to humiliate others.
"A lover and a wife must choose one, right?"
Mu Jin raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, filled with inconceivability.
Li Zhai continued, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I am not a benevolent person. I will help you with everything."
Hibiscus's eye sockets were wet, and his vision became blurred inadvertently, and a tear fell, followed by more.
She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
Li Zhai's face softened, and he stretched out his hand towards her, "Do you want to use your shoulder to wipe away your tears and snot?"
Hibiscus nodded, "Yes."
She moved over in small steps and buried her head in Li Zhai's arms. She still had a familiar smell, with a faint elegant fragrance. After taking one sip, she wanted to smell the second and third sips.
"I don't want to be separated from you." She cried.
Li Zhai comforted her, "I know."
"It's my brother, and I'm asking you for money." She hugged Li Zhai's waist tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, hoping that he would not run away after hearing this, and not be afraid.
"Is it one hundred thousand taels of gold?" He also knew about it. After inquiring about the neighbors in the neighborhood, the next step would be her family. He was good at inquiring about news, so he asked it two or three times.
As soon as that idiot drank, he threw it out as a bragging rights.
"I beat you up, and now it's reduced to one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Mu Jin stood up straight suddenly, "No, if you beat him, he will report to the police and speak ill of you everywhere."
"Oh." Li Zhai didn't care much, "I've been beaten, let him go."
It seems that his reputation has always been bad, and he can't get better in this position. Supervising officials is an offending job in itself, and he will be impeached whenever he gets the chance. However, he has a sensible boss who suppresses everyone. The impeachment memorials are almost never brought to the court.
Occasionally, he would criticize him for not wearing clothes under the court clothes, standing without standing, sitting without sitting, sleeping openly above the court, being lazy and not going to court and getting caught, etc.
Like the abuse of lynching, perversion of the law for personal gain, as long as someone mentions it, the emperor will find an excuse to change the subject, or simply retreat from the court, too lazy to listen to the ministers.
So the reputation is not important, the important thing is what the emperor thinks, the emperor thinks he is not good, even if everyone agrees with him, it is not good to praise him, the emperor says he is good, even if he is notorious, he still wins the Sacred Heart.
Mu Jin gave him a white look, "Also, one hundred thousand taels of silver is also very expensive, one hundred taels is fine."
The guy next door wanted to marry her, so he said that the maximum amount would be ten taels, and in the eyes of ordinary people, ten taels is a lot.
One hundred taels is based on the ostentation in his house, if you give too little, he loses face.
"One hundred thousand taels is for you as a dowry, you have to bring it back, it's not much."
Mu Jin laughed, "Your family is too stingy, do you want to not give me a copper coin?"
"I haven't finished yet." Li Zhai continued, "There is no money, but houses and shops are available. Whatever you want, you can do it yourself."
Mu Jin laughed at him, "You look down on my brothers too much, they are rascals, if you don't pay them, they will eat and drink everywhere on your Li family account."
"It's fine if you don't give up." Li Zhai put his hips on his hips, "I'm a royal censor, and I can't beat two brats."
Even Mu Jin was ashamed to say that he was actually a kid, only in his twenties, so young that no one would say that he was the imperial censor.
But he already knew it and didn't reject it, so trust him once, after all, her own words are really powerless to solve her two brothers and sisters-in-law.
Fang Shu was woken up, and she didn't know who it was, running up and down on the roof. She asked Chang Qing, and Chang Qing faltered and said it was uncut jade.
That neutral face suddenly popped into Fang Shu's mind.
It was picked up so soon, it seems that Xiao Xichuan was fighting for real, three days passed today, there are still two days left, and he will be able to see the emperor in two days.
now.
I stretch out my hand to look at it, and I can look at it, but it feels different, and I always feel that I look at myself a little abnormally.
Fang Shu swung Changqing back, covered herself with the quilt, fell asleep again drowsily, and was replaced by Yin Fei, who was also awakened by the noise.
Called Changqing to ask, Changqing thought, didn't he ask? However, even if the emperor asked a hundred times, he would not dare to be dissatisfied, and said honestly, "It's jade in the rough."
Yin Fei frowned, "What is he doing on the roof?"
This matter cannot be concealed, he said honestly, "Catch mosquitoes."
Yin Fei pressed her temples.
Chang Qing hurriedly said, "This servant persuades him to come down now."
Yin Fei closed her eyes, "Forget it, let him go."
Maybe it's a new environment and I'm not used to it.
He closed the curtain, and continued to sleep. This sleep was restless, and he switched bodies with Fang Shu back and forth. The next day, he obviously didn't sleep well. There were big bruises under his eyes. Fortunately, his body changed properly. The last time he was using this body.
He left a note for her under the pillow last night, but she didn't reply, maybe because he didn't see it. In the morning, he rolled up the letter and asked Xiao Jiu to take it to her.
Fang Shuchen did not receive this letter, because Mrs. Qin was lazy and couldn't get up in the morning, so she didn't have to go to say hello.
The two men from Shangguan's family got up at five o'clock to go to court together, and then came back together, so they didn't care at all, so she had a rare sleep and made up for the loss of being woken up yesterday.
As soon as she got up, she saw Xiao Jiu standing on the window, lowering her head to pick the letter in the bamboo tube.
This kind of eagle can hardly cry, and is as quiet as a chicken, so Fang Shu didn't know when it came, so she quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked over barefoot, and took the letter down.
Xiao Jiu didn't leave, as if he was waiting for her to reply, he went back and forth countless times, he was used to her, he never made a fuss, he stood obediently on the window sill, plucking his feathers from time to time.
Fang Shu didn't care, opened the letter and read it.
'Are you still used to being in Shangguan's house? '
Get used to it, the Shangguan family treats her very well.
Fang Shu went to write back to him, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, sent Xiao Jiu away, and began to wash. Just after washing her front feet, Mrs. Qin came to knock on the door on her back feet.
Fang Shu got up and went to open the door for her. Mrs. Qin saw that she hadn't dressed yet, and she was pleasantly surprised, "Catch up."
While talking, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to comb her hair himself.
Fang Shu was very helpless, she couldn't help Mrs. Qin like to do this job, so she had to sit down and let her do it.
Mrs. Qin praised while combing, "It's better to be a girl, you can dress up as you want."
Fang Shu couldn't help but began to sympathize with the Prime Minister. Mrs. Qin's preference for daughters was a little too much. How did the Prime Minister survive in such an environment
"Mother, why don't you have another one?" Fang Shu asked instinctively, if you like it, you can have one, is there any restriction
Is it impossible to give birth
Then she asked a question that shouldn't be asked. Fang Shu was thinking of a way to redeem it. Mrs. Qin sighed, "If you can give birth, you will give birth early. You don't know. There is a rumor in Shangguan's family that the first child is a daughter, and the second child is a daughter. It’s a boy, and if the first child is a boy, there will be no second child.”
Fang Shu blinked, "No way."
There is no scientific basis, how can it be so
Mrs. Qin shrugged, "Who knows, it's been like this for four generations. If the first child is a boy, there will be no second child."
In the early years, she was ridiculed because of this, saying that her stomach was not up to date, and she could not give birth to a daughter, but only one.
At that time, she thought to herself, she can't do it, let's change the head office, so she urged the old man to find a concubine, give birth to two daughters and bring them back.
The one who didn't live up to expectations, always perfunctory her, saying that she looked for it, how could it be so fast.
She asked when she would have a daughter, but he was perfunctory, and he would have it soon, and he was working hard.
Fast forward more than twenty years, and I'm a bachelor, let alone a daughter, and Mao didn't bring him back.
"The men in Shangguan's family are lazy and have no self-motivation."
Fang Shu said in her heart that she has become the prime minister, how can she be more self-motivated
"Isn't there a saying in the market? It is said that anyone can rebel, but the Shangguan family is impossible, and the men of the Shangguan family are worthless."
Fang Shu wiped off her sweat, two generations have achieved the position of prime minister, so it is impossible to have any future, right
It may be someone else's child, someone else's husband's thoughts, everyone will think that others are good, but in fact, their own is the best, and others envy.
Shangguan's house is not as bad as she said, it is a place that produces talents. The previous generation, that is, the father of the prime minister, used to be the prime minister. Later, his son wanted to assist the emperor, so he took the initiative to resign and make way for his son .
The emperor refused, but he couldn't hold him back, so he could only arrange a idle job for him. He lived a decent life, and his son became the prime minister smoothly. Mrs. Qin actually said that they were worthless
Such worthless relatives invite a stack, the more the better, no matter how much is too much.
