Qi Shaobao took a look at Xue Shuiwu who was struggling towards a side room with a heavy burden on his shoulders, and explained euphemistically: "That girl is quite pitiful..."
Mrs. Wang gave him a sideways glance, and said coldly: "You yourself have become a poor person, and you still have leisure to pity others? What do you want to do with this broom star, don't let Zhang Juzheng have no luck to enjoy it, you have to keep it for yourself. Guangzhou, moving to a new house and taking in another concubine, won’t it be a double happiness?”
When Qi Shaobao was robbed by his wife in front of so many servants, he looked very embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Madam, you must not misunderstand. This is not because she is involved in Mr. Taiyue's name, so she has to be cautious." ?"
Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "You have been an official all your life, but you are still so unreasonable. If the emperor doesn't want to touch you, will he touch you because of the scandal of your offering beauty and favor? If the emperor wants to touch you, it's because you have nothing to do with it." Catch, the emperor can't touch you? It's ridiculous that you big men, whether they are great generals who have fought many battles, or the chief ministers who plan strategies, actually calculate success or failure on a woman."
Qi Shaobao has been in fear for a long time, and in front of his wife, there is nothing left of the heroic spirit of commanding thousands of troops and killing the Japanese pirates. He just continued to explain with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, I will help you." It won't be long, I just wait for the news from Beijing, and when the dust settles, I can arrange a place for her no matter it is bad or good. Don't worry, I won't take her to Guangzhou Yes, the old man is already so old, how could he make up her mind."
Mrs. Wang sneered, and said: "Dogs can't change eating shit. No matter how old a man is, his heart is still very flamboyant. Otherwise, how could Mr. Taiyue die. My old lady is too lazy to listen to your smooth talk. The news, yes, then you just wait, anyway, when we leave Jinling, whether we go south or north, if you still take her with you, I will kill her on the spot, and then go back to my hometown in Nanxi!"
After Madam Wang finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and went back to the room. Qi Shaobao stood at the bottom of the steps blankly, speechless for a while.
…
Although Ye Xiaotian's injury looked scary, but because of Hua Yunfei's guidance, it did not hit the vital point, but it would take some time for the flesh injury to heal and heal. During this time, sister Sun and Zhan Ning'er took turns to take care of Ye Xiaotian every day. It is also fun to have beautiful women as companions every day, and to get a little oil from time to time.
At the same time, Ye Xiaotian also took advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Hongyan, Qiao Zhenhua and others to visit, and discussed with Zhang Hongyun, wanting to invite his father to come forward, greet the official department, and transfer him back to Hu County. Zhang Hongyan had already promised him before, so he agreed immediately, but he was worried that Ye Xiaotian would be injured, and if the order was issued quickly, it would not be suitable for him to travel far.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "My body is not that delicate. Besides, this is not just a simple matter of changing another yamen, but a transfer across provinces. It must not be so easy when the transfer order is issued. It is better to handle it early. When the transfer order is issued, I will This injury is almost healed, it doesn't matter even if the transfer order is early, I will return to Guizhou by car, to tell you the truth, brother, I am now returning home."
Zhang Hongyan said: "Since that's the case, I will talk to my father when I go back today."
That night, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War released the yamen, returned to the flower hall in the mansion, took off the official robe, and asked the maid to take it and hang it up. As soon as he sat down on the chair, Zhang Hongyan flashed out, holding a cup of tea, and said respectfully: " Father, please have some tea."
"Um?"
Zhang Shangshu took the tea, glanced at him strangely, and said, "Why are you so well-behaved today, don't you cause trouble for your father again outside?"
Zhang Hongyun said with a smile: "How can it be? My son is very well-behaved now. Even the Master Si Ye of the Imperial College praised his son, saying that Father, you taught him well. The family style is strict and Jin."
Zhang Shangshu smiled "hehe" and said, "Stop messing around with me, I'm still not confused. It's best if you behave yourself. If you are like Guan Shangshu's bastard son, I will definitely fight you too." Break your legs, if you are like Uncle Li Guo, hum! I want you to entrust this life to the spirit of your ancestors."
Zhang Hongxuan repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, my son has kept all the teachings of the father in his heart. That...cough! That... the ambassador of the same hall, Ye Xiaotian..."
Zhang Shangshu just took a sip of tea, when he heard the word Ye Xiaotian, his brows could not help but raised, and he said vigilantly: "Ye Xiaotian, what's wrong with him?"
Zhang Hongyan swallowed, and said: "A few days ago, my son mentioned to his father that Ye Xiaotian is a good friend of his son, and he wanted to be transferred back to Hu County as an official, but he didn't want to stay in Jinling."
Zhang Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "That's what happened, haha, Ye Xiaotian, right? Haha, good! Good, good! I know it for my father, hahaha..."
Zhang Hongyan asked strangely: "Why is father so happy when he heard about Ye Xiaotian?"
Zhang Shangshu couldn't help but said: "As a father today, I heard Wei Guogong talk about this Ye Xiaotian. Wei Guogong said that he is a big disaster for our Jinling Mansion. Ever since he arrived in Jinling, he has never let the Jinling officialdom stop. He is still waiting at the post. When participating, he held a charity sale for disaster relief, and as a result, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Rites was actually expelled from the Imperial College.
When he arrived at Huitong Hall, he made another first-class Taiping pot, this time it was even worse, Guan Shangshu broke his son's legs and sent him back to his hometown in Chenzhou. Within a few days, he was stabbed again, causing Uncle Li Guo to leave in despair and return to the capital in despair.
Wei Guogong was worried that after he healed his wounds, he would do something wrong again. Hearing those words, he also wished that he would leave as soon as possible. Since Ye Xiaotian wants to leave, that would be great. Tomorrow, as a father, he will greet the officials, and then tell them that the Duke of the State also means the same thing. I believe this matter will be settled easily. "
Zhang Hongyan was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, father."
Zhang Shangshu glanced at him, and suddenly said with emotion: "You boy, you have caused troubles for father since you were a child. Now, you are more disciplined. Actually, it is not that father objects to your troubles..."
Zhang Hongyan said eagerly: "Then dad means..."
Zhang Shangshu said: "If you want to cause trouble, you should be like Ye Xiaotian and cause some big troubles, then Daddy will be more happy to wipe your ass."
Zhang Hongyan said with embarrassment: "Uh... the child is educated!"
※※※
The next day, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War sent someone to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to a banquet, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials happily went to the appointment. After the two of them had a few drinks, Zhang Shangshu brought up the matter of Ye Xiaotian without waiting for him to mention Wei Guogong. For that reason, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stared wide-eyed and asked: "Is this what he asked Brother Zhang? Is he willing to return to Hu County? No other conditions?"
Zhang Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then said anxiously: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Hahaha!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials laughed three times, and said very frankly: "Success! I can assure your brother right now that it will be done for him, and he will definitely go back to Hu County."
Zhang Shangshu tentatively said: "My virtuous brother also seems to want him to leave Jinling very much?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials shook his head again and again: "No, no, Brother Zhang, you also know that Brother Yu is not in good health. I'm in the yamen. During these days, the men from the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, Dali Temple, and Yingtianfu have complained to me a lot. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households even told me in advance that Ye Xiaotian could not be transferred to them no matter what. There. Brother Yu has a terrible headache. I didn’t expect him to want to leave on his own. It’s a wish of heaven. It should be clear. Come on, Brother Zhang, let’s drink this! Hahaha... "
Zhang Shangshu was stunned for a while, raised his glass, and said bitterly: "This feast, please!"
…
"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials agreed? Hahaha... Ouch!" Hearing what Zhang Hongyun said, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing three times, touching the wound on his abdomen, so he quickly stopped laughing and covered his abdomen. Sister Sun, who was supporting him, said nervously: "Brother Xiaotian, are you alright?"
Ye Xiaotian patted her little hand, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I see that you are nervous, I am happy, and the injury will heal faster." Ye Xiaotian turned to Zhang Hongyan again and said: "My dear brother, this is a terrible experience. Thanks to you."
Zhang Hongyan smiled a little guilty, and said: "Where, where, brother Ye's matter is my Zhang Hongyan's matter, and I have to help you do it!"
Ye Xiaotian picked Thumbs up to him, and said, "Good brother!"
Zhang Hongyan broke into a cold sweat secretly, and said to himself: "This man feels too good about himself, you think he is not willing to let you go, but he doesn't know that the six books are all eagerly looking forward to sending you off to the God of Plague."
Because of personal grudges, Guan Xiaokun first stole the relief money, and then ruined the feast for the foreign envoys. He was beaten by his father and exiled back to his hometown. From this, the officials deeply felt the importance of educating their children. Recently, the control over their children has become much stricter. Zhang Hongyan didn't dare to stay outside for too long, so he explained the matter clearly and said goodbye to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian was walking slowly in the courtyard at this time, seeing off Zhang Hongyan, Ye Xiaotian's smile faded away, and he began to meditate, while he was thinking, he made a gesture to sit down on the stone bench next to him, but Sister Sun hurriedly stopped her and said, "Little Brother Tian, the stone bench is too cold, wait a minute!"
Younger Sister Sun ran away, took a futon back after a while, put it on the stone bench, and then helped Ye Xiaotian to sit down. Ye Xiaotian's heart warmed up, this kind-hearted person really makes one wish to take a sip of water and swallow her down.
He affectionately squeezed Sister Sun's little cheek, which was broken by blowing and playing, sat down on the stone bench, pondered for a moment, and said to Sister Sun: "Dou Ni, you go and call Mao... Forget it, he can't do it, you go Call Yunfei, I have something to tell him."
Sister Sun agreed, and flew away like a happy little swallow, and soon led Hua Yun to fly.
Ye Xiaotian called Hua Yunfei to sit down, and told him carefully. Hua Yunfei was startled at first, then showed an excited expression, listened attentively, and nodded slightly from time to time. After Ye Xiaotian finished his instructions, he said: "I Going back to Hu County is a foregone conclusion. It’s not too late, you can do it right away.”
Hua Yunfei stood up excitedly, nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll leave this matter to my younger brother."
When the two were talking, Sister Sun was already like a hardworking ant, bringing in dried fruits, candied fruit, tea, and melon seeds. Ye Xiaotian and Hua Yunfei talked very attentively, and didn't pay attention. When Hua Yunfei left, Only then did he realize that the stone table in front of him was already full.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, and he picked up a cup of tea and said, "Doni, don't be too busy, I can't eat so much."
"oh!"
Sister Sun sat down on the stone bench next to her, with her pointed chin resting on her hands, her big sparkling eyes flashing, and she said with a sweet smile, "What did Brother Xiaotian tell Yunfei? ?”
Ye Xiaotian raised his teacup with a smile, teasing her on purpose: "I'll let him go and make some arrangements, and I'll take you into your room tonight, do you think it's okay?"
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he looked at Doni with interesting eyes, and as expected, he saw two pretty red clouds flying on her cheeks, but what Sister Sun said next surprised Ye Xiaotian, and he couldn't help it. With a sound of "噗嗤", the tea he just sipped sprayed two arrows of water from his nostrils.
Doni bit her thin lips, twisted her fingers and lowered her head, shyly said: "But...but you are not well yet, why are you having a bridal chamber..."
