In Su Ya's bedroom, a quiet room was separated by a screen, which was used as her study. At this time, on the wall opposite to the desk, there is the "Mountain and Flowing Water Picture" presented by Ye Xiaotian, and Su Ya is imitating Wang Ximeng's painting style.
The door was pushed open with a "bang", and there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Hua Qingfeng appeared in front of Su Ya angrily. The little girl Cui'er who was studying ink for Su Ya saw the master losing his temper, and couldn't help being so frightened that she didn't dare to vent her anger.
Su Ya just glanced at Hua Qingfeng lightly, and waved slightly to Cui'er. Tweety put down the ink with relief, lowered her hands, hooked her chin, and slipped past Hua Qingfeng carefully and quickly.
Su Ya ignored Hua Qingfeng, she took a closer look at Wang Ximeng's "High Mountains and Flowing Water", and drew carefully with her head down. I have to say that although Wang Ximeng's handed down works are not many, each one is a masterpiece, so take this painting For Boya in the movie, the movement of raising his hand to play the qin is very agile. Looking at the picture, it seems that the elegant sound of the qin is being heard in your ears.
Su Ya looked at Boya, who was facing her, and shook her head slightly. The brushwork was still not strong enough. The lines drawn by the brush seemed to be the same as Wang Ximeng's original works, but not as vivid as Wang Ximeng's paintings. You still need to study hard.
Su Ya's ignorance made Hua Qingfeng, who was already very angry, turn purple with anger: "Fu... madam, you are too bold!" Hua Qingfeng couldn't hold back, and finally opened his mouth first.
Su Ya gently put the pen on the pen hill, turned around slowly, and said indifferently: "My husband's courage is too small, and if my concubine's courage is not big enough, can our Hua family still have a foothold in Hu County? ?”
"you… "
Hua Qingfeng was hit to the point by Su Ya's words, and her anger was suppressed. Hua Qingfeng blushed and said, "You...how can you pretend to be a husband to report to the court? If the matter spreads, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Su Ya said angrily and amusedly: "Oh? But I don't know how to spread this matter?"
Hua Qingfeng said angrily: "If you want people to know, unless you do nothing, do you really think that you can keep things secret because you don't know?"
Su Ya said sarcastically: "The concubine should ask for advice. If the husband accepts the account, even if someone checks with the handwriting, so what? At worst, the husband is unwell, and the concubine will write for him, and the husband is completely unwell. Granted, who can use this matter to judge us at that time? Unless you don’t dare to admit it to your husband.”
Hua Qingfeng was at a loss for words again, and was silent for a while, before she said dejectedly: "I have endured in Hu County for more than five years for my husband. It seems that in another year and a half, you will be able to escape, and you are going to make trouble at this time! As soon as the two memorials are published, this official, Xu Xiancheng, and Wang Zhushu will completely tear their skins apart, and there is no room for maneuver!"
Su Ya raised her brows and said, "So what? They are not afraid of you, a superior, but you, a superior, are afraid of their subordinates? Hmph! Will you escape in a year or so? Where are you going?" ? You have achieved nothing in Hu County, and you have made no achievements. Do you still expect the Ministry of Officials to give you another good job? Instead of this, why not give it a go?"
Hua Qingfeng said angrily: "A woman's opinion! A woman's opinion!"
Su Ya said: "My lord, the opinion of a concubine's woman is that you should go to Xu Boyi and Wang Ning now, tell them that the memorial was not written by you, beg their forgiveness, and then immediately add another memorial to you." The imperial court explained the situation and took away the concubine who forged the memorial. Or, you have the courage to fight with them! Fight like a man!"
Su Ya said coldly: "Master, think about it carefully, the decision is all up to you!" After Su Ya said, she flicked her sleeves and walked out boldly.
Hua Qingfeng came here in a rage, but there was no possibility of making a big fuss about Su Ya. In fact, the original Hua Qingfeng was not so weak in front of his wife. He was not a man who was afraid of the roar of the Hedong lion, and Mrs. Ya was not a Hedong lion either.
But he is always weak and weak on the outside, and now he even has to rely on his mother-in-law's dowry to maintain his dignity as a county magistrate. How can he have the confidence to show his prestige in front of Su Ya? And Su Yayuan is not such a strong woman to her husband, but no matter how shrewd and capable a woman is, she hopes that her husband is more capable than her. From the nature, what they enjoy is the feeling of being conquered, sheltered and possessed by the strong, but Hua Qingfeng is so weak, it naturally makes her stronger.
For a while in the quiet room, there was only the sound of Hua Qingfeng's heavy breathing. After a while, he slowly took two steps back and collapsed on a chair.
※※※
Hua Zhixian wrote to the imperial court, and the news of the impeachment of Xu Xiancheng and Wang Zhubu quickly reached the ears of Wang Zhubu who was "recovering" at home. Master Wang jumped up when he heard it. The most beloved concubine who was originally sitting on his lap couldn't stand upright, and fell onto the soft carpet with an "ouch".
Master Wang also didn't care about pity and pity, and ordered his family one after another: "Prepare the car! Prepare the car quickly, the old man is going to the post station!"
Mr. Wang, who was "severely ill and bedridden", had no sore legs, no pain in his waist, and he walked with strength, and rushed to the backyard in one breath. After a while, the gate of the courtyard opened wide, and a carriage rolled away from the palace, heading straight for the post station.
Xu Boyi was tossed to death by a pair of pets from Ye Xiaotian's family in the county government yesterday, and the ringing in his ears continued to recur when he went to bed to rest. This embarrassment was not small, but what he comforted was that it was a pair of animals who caused the trouble. Instead of Ye Xiaotian, he had no choice but to deceive himself and others.
I don’t know if it’s because Xu Boyi has suffered from Ye Xiaotian’s losses many times before, which has cast a psychological shadow on Xu Boyi. Before Ye Xiaotian returned to Hu County, he had imagined the scene of seeing Ye Xiaotian again countless times. In the fantasy, he Every time he was elated, but Ye Xiaotian completely bowed at his feet, begging him to show his respect.
But the moment he really saw Ye Xiaotian, he finally understood that fantasies are just fantasies, and he was still afraid of Ye Xiaotian from the bottom of his heart. That's right, he has controlled most of Hu County now, and Ye Xiaotian is his subordinate, but the problem is that Ye Xiaotian, who never plays cards according to common sense, never gives people a sense of controllability.
In fact, Xu Boyi's mentality and situation are not unique. In the workplace of later generations, a stingy subordinate will often make his boss helpless and even lose face. Especially in the era when everyone has an iron rice bowl.
However, at that time, this kind of character either had some background and his boss couldn't move him, or he was too old to rely on the old to sell the old, but Ye Xiaotian... He had neither background nor old enough, the only thing that met the standard was that Xu Boyi couldn't touch him .
But that wouldn't turn Xu Boyi under his control, but... Xu Boyi was a little timid to make moves against Ye Xiaotian. Therefore, Xu Boyi adopted another strategy: "If you want to make trouble, it's up to you! As long as the war lasts for another two months, I can consolidate the existing power and replace all the people in charge of finance with mine." My confidants, even if the war is over by then, you will be powerless to contend with me.
I can't touch you, but what can you do at that time other than play tricks on me? It doesn't matter if you make such a fuss once or twice, as time goes by, you will have no effect other than making trouble, completely unable to change the fact that I am in control, and it will only make people look down on you. "
But who knew that he didn't want to provoke Ye Xiaotian, but Ye Xiaotian couldn't wait to come to provoke him. As soon as Xu Boyi went to the post road to inspect, and turned around the signing room he had temporarily set up in the post station, Master Wang rushed over in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the signing room, he drove everyone out.
Xu Boyi laughed in amazement: "My lord, what happened? You're in such a panic."
Master Wang stomped his feet and said: "I said that Ye Xiaotian should not be underestimated, not to be underestimated! You can't raise enough vigilance, now it's all right, as soon as he came back, he urged Hua Qingfeng to write to the imperial court, impeaching you and me! "
Xu Boyi was taken aback, and said: "I wrote to the imperial court to impeach you and me, what did he impeach us for?"
When Master Wang told him the news, Xu Boyi's expression darkened immediately, and he said: "Zhao Yicheng should be clear about this matter, I saw him just now, why didn't I hear him mention it."
Master Wang sneered and said: "You only see him as your brother and brother on weekdays, but you forget that he was born in Bozhou! He wished that we would fight with Ye Xiaotian and die together."
Xu Boyi thought for a while, calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Seeing that Bairen has become a Buddha, I don't think he can't help the magistrate, hehe! He really thought that Ye Xiaotian came back, and he would have a turning point? Let Let them make trouble, even if this matter is reported to the imperial court, it is not serious, not to mention that there is an excuse to protect military funds."
Master Wang sneered and said: "You really think so? You have fought against Ye Xiaotian once or twice, don't you still not see his character? He will never beat the board that cannot be put into practice. If Just being impeached by Hua Qingfeng's letter, you will panic when you think I am? The old man is worried that this is just the beginning, and Ye Xiaotian will definitely have another move in the future."
Xu Boyi smiled slightly, he could ignore Hua Qingfeng, but he couldn't ignore Ye Xiaotian, Xu Boyi thought carefully about Wang Ning's words, then nodded and said: "That's right! Ye Xiaotian is a mad dog, you must guard against it. But what can he do?" How to start?"
When the two were thinking about what Ye Xiaotian wanted to do, a small green sedan chair appeared on the post road, with the official title plates of "avoid" and "quiet" in front of it, and two people "sounded the gong to clear the way". "The soldiers and civilians will all avoid it", and then there are government servants accompanying them with iron chains and water and fire sticks.
Hua Qingfeng seldom goes out, and when he does go out occasionally, it is said that it is for the sake of being close to the people, and he never puts on a big show of honor, except for some important ceremonial occasions, this is the first time.
The servants who were busy working on the post road stopped their hands and looked blankly at the approaching guard of honor. They had been working on this post road for two or three months, and it was the first time they had seen such a big scene. There is only one county official who can have such ostentation, the county magistrate!
Whether it's Meng Qingwei who was domineering back then, or Xu Boyi who is in power today, even if their power is greater than Hua Qingfeng's, they cannot have the honor guard that can only be enjoyed by Baili Supreme. The guard of honor stopped on the post road, and when the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, Hua Qing came out of the sedan chair with a calm face.
Ye Xiaotian walked forward with a smile, bowed his hands to Hua Qingfeng, and said loudly: "Master County, we are here!"
Hua Qingfeng glared at him fiercely, and walked forward helplessly. He was forced to come by his wife, brother-in-law and Ye Xiaotian.
Hua Qingfeng is not stupid, all she lacks is the courage to do things. Of course he knew that as soon as those two memorials were handed out, even the harmony in face between him, Wang Ning and Xu Boyi would no longer exist, and he would have no way out.
Can he humbly plead guilty to Xu Boyi and Wang Ning, and report his wife to the court? Even if he is willing to do this, the consequences of being held accountable are more serious than being defeated by Xu Boyi and Wang Ning. Taking a step back was a cliff that would crush people to pieces. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush up.
