"What happened? What's the trouble?"
After hearing what her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou said, Mrs. Xu suddenly lost her composure.
"There's some trouble with my in-laws!"
Mrs. Zhou followed Mrs. Xu out and told her what was going on.
Wang's father, Wang Juren, originally had a big family in Anshun County. Now that he went into the mountains with him, he naturally brought a lot of people with him, especially his group of concubines.
Now the trouble is caused by Wang Juren's concubine.
Life in the mountains is no better than life outside.
Wang Juren's concubine has always lived a pampered life, but now, she can't eat well and sleep well. Although there are still people around to wait on her, it is a million miles away from the previous days in the county town.
When these concubines were not comfortable, they began to complain and blew pillow wind in Wang Juren's ears from time to time. But Wang Juren is not the kind of brainless person, and the concubines' pillow wind can't blow at all.
However, Wang Juren did not deal with his concubines, after all, these women also helped him have children.
Then, because of Wang Juren's inaction, this group of women targeted Xu Laosan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and made all kinds of strange and strange things.
Wang is the legitimate daughter of Wang Juren, and she has a strong temper.
Nowadays, although Xu Laosan is not around and has not participated in the imperial examinations, Xu Laosan is now actually in charge of all matters of Xiangyi Prefecture and is the uncrowned magistrate.
How could Mrs. Wang tolerate the weird behavior of her father's concubines in front of her
The irritated Wang immediately beat these people, and with this beating, things broke out.
These women all found themselves in front of Wang Juren, crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves.
Wang Juren was so troubled that he had no choice but to find Wang's daughter.
"Mom, that's probably it!"
Mrs. Zhou followed Mrs. Xu and talked as she walked, giving an overview of the matter.
Speaking of which, this is not a big deal.
But under the current circumstances, this matter really cannot be taken lightly. After all, they all live in this small cottage, and they really can't see each other when they look up.
"Since they don't want to live in the mountains, then send them out of the mountains!"
Mrs. Xu is a reasonable person.
But she is also a person who helps her relatives but not others.
Don't talk about this matter. There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang herself. Even if Ms. Wang is wrong, it is her old Xu family's business to educate and deal with it.
Wang Juren was really regretful at this moment. If he had known earlier that these women could do things like this, he would not have taken them into the mountains with him.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
"Dad, are you here to stand up for them?"
Wang's face turned even darker when she saw her biological father appear.
"Daughter, my father is not here to stand up for them, he is here to hide from peace!"
Wang Juren, who has always been sensible, actually has nothing serious wrong with him, except that he is a bit lecherous. But with someone like him, there are more women in the backyard, so in this environment, it's not a problem.
"Dad, you just don't care about them?"
Wang's face finally looked better after hearing her father's words. However, considering her father's inaction, Wang was still a little uncomfortable. She felt that it was her father's connivance that made these women so ignorant.
"Daughter, what do you want your father to do with me?"
"They are indeed stupid, but if they were as smart as foxes, would your father and I still have a good life?"
Wang Juren sighed.
He did take several concubines, but he did not take them indiscriminately.
He took concubines to make his life comfortable, not to cause trouble for himself. Therefore, for Wang Juren's concubines, first of all, they are good-looking, and secondly, they are not very knowledgeable. They all come from small families, and they can be jealous, but there are no various conspiracies and calculations.
Therefore, Wang Juren's young life was quite nourishing.
“…”
When Wang heard what her biological father said, she was instantly dumbfounded.
At this moment, she finally understood why she had always thought that the women in her father's backyard were stupid and had been making trouble for a long time. This was simply his father's intention.
"Daughter, look, there is almost no movement outside. Otherwise, dad will take your mother and the others back to the county town first?"
Wang Juren has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never had a hard time.
During this period of time, he had traveled long distances and crossed mountains and ridges, and he felt that he had really suffered all the hardships he had ever experienced in his life.
"Dad, aren't you afraid if someone comes to find you?"
When Wang heard what her biological father said, she suddenly became anxious.
"What are you afraid of? If someone really finds me, it will be my fate."
"Daughter, my father is already at this age. Even if he doesn't encounter anything, I don't know how many years he can live. This life in the mountains is really not something that my father can endure!"
"Let's talk about this. When we get back, I'll ask your mother to talk to your mother-in-law!"
Now that Wang Juren has said this, what else can Wang say
By the time Mrs. Xu and Mr. Zhou arrived, Wang Juren had already gone back.
In order to save her biological father's face, Wang even acted out a play with Wang Juren, who pretended to yell at her.
In this way, Wang Juren successfully calmed the crying concubines.
It was just that the concubines were satisfied, but Wang's own mother was not happy. When Wang Juren was caught, she immediately dealt with them. She even punished a group of Wang Juren's concubines to vent her anger on her daughter.
Mrs. Xu nodded after hearing what Wang said, especially Wang Juren's thoughts.
The melon that is twisted by force is not sweet!
Since Wang Juren herself wasn't worried, could she still force the guest to stay
Then, Wang Juren and his family left the mountains and returned to the county town.
With the departure of Wang Juren and his family, the natal families of Zhou and Li also chose to leave the country.
In the end, not long after, Mr. Yue's family, as well as Mr. Dai Duo's family, all chose to come out of the mountains.
At this point, Mrs. Xu, Lu Mudan and Princess Yuyan simply left the mountain.
Just when Mrs. Xu and others came out of the mountains, they found that the Guan clan members who had left their hometowns had returned to Lingshui Village one after another.
Lingshui Village, which was destroyed by fire, was rebuilt from the ruins.
According to Mrs. Xu's original intention, she simply left Lingshui Village. After all, she was already at loggerheads with the Guan family. Although the friendship of more than 20 years was in vain, Mrs. Xu felt sad in her heart, but she really didn't want to have anything to do with certain people anymore.
If Guan Laoqi was still here, then it would be easier to talk about this matter.
But after Guan Laoqi and his family left Lingshui Village, no one knew where they went.
Mrs. Xu wanted to move away, but Fu Bao firmly opposed it.
There is a gold mine here!
Now the Tang Dynasty is heading towards chaos. No matter what plans her father and three brothers have, they still need money. And this gold mine cannot be abandoned no matter what.
Therefore, their family had to stay in Lingshui Village.
Not only that, the original mansion had to be expanded.
Previously, the gold mine dug out by Fubao was covered by the channel connecting the pond in their backyard to the Taohua River. Now, she plans to build a bigger house and completely include the gold mine in her yard.
After hearing Fubao's analysis, Mrs. Xu no longer insisted on moving.
However, before Mrs. Xu could start looking for someone to start the work, Mr. Xu rushed back from Fucheng.
After receiving the letter sent by Zhao Bingzhen and knowing that his family members had also come out of the mountains, Xu Laosan made up his mind to take all his family members to Linyao City.
As for the gold mine in Lingshui Village, it will not be used for the time being, so let it continue to be buried underground.
"Third brother, aren't you afraid of others finding out?"
The reason why Fubao insisted on continuing to live in the village was to keep an eye on the gold mine.
"Don't worry, I have plans!"
Xu Laosan said calmly, "This land belongs to our family. Who dares to touch it without our permission?"
"That's right!"
Fu Bao thought for a moment and felt relieved.
Her father is Marquis Wu Cheng, and her second brother is Uncle Yong Wu. Their family now actually controls Xiangyi Mansion.
As for the group of Guan Laosan who chose to betray their old Xu family, Xu Laosan did not settle the score with them. Without the help of their old Xu family, the Guan clan in Lingshui Village should soon return to their original position.
More than twenty years ago, when Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu came to Lingshui Village, what the village was like would probably be the same in the future.
On the day when Old Xu's family left Lingshui Village, many people appeared at the entrance of the village, but no adult came forward to speak. On the other hand, the little babies in the village were very reluctant to part with them and burst into tears.
Fu Bao was also very sad.
She is the eldest sister of the children in Lingshui Village. Even those children who are older than her always obey her.
The grievances between adults should not involve children.
But Fu Bao is just a child now.
When her family wanted to leave, she had no choice but to leave with them.
Dabao and Erbao were also crying and couldn't bear to part with these little friends.
Xu Laosan also felt a little heavy. He was born and raised in Lingshui Village, and he also had many friends. However, what happened this time created a gap between the villagers and the old Xu family.
If it was just the betrayal and betrayal of Guan Laosan and those people, this matter wouldn't be an insurmountable obstacle. But later, Lao Xu's house was set on fire, and everyone in the village chose to watch indifferently, which was chilling.
The day after everyone in the Xu family left Lingshui Village, Mr. Yue's family also chose to leave. Their departure was silent, and the entire village didn't notice it until dark.
…
Capital, Xu Mansion.
Today, the Xu Mansion is no longer co-headed by Changle Gong, Yong'an Gong and Antai Gong. The Xu Mansion has its only head, and this head is none other than the new Antai Gong Xu Yuanzu who has just inherited the title.
As for Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an, these two have now become puppets in Xu Yuanzu's hands.
Although the two of them had always been afraid of Xu Yuanzu, and even reached an agreement with the Wheel-turning King of the Underworld to target Xu Yuanzu, before they could take action, Xu Yuanzu took advantage of them.
"How is the Eighteen Iron Cavalry?"
Xu Yuanzu sat quietly in the upper position, and on his left and right were Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an.
"As per your request, we are increasing manpower!"
Duke Changle replied cautiously.
Xu Yuanzu's life was in Xu Yuanzu's hands. No matter how unwilling Changle Gong was, he could only obey and do things honestly at this moment.
"very good!"
Xu Yuanzu looked at the two of them indifferently, "As descendants of King Taiping, what you have done over the years is simply to discredit your ancestors!"
"That's my current temper. If my previous temper were the same, you two are unworthy descendants, and you don't even deserve the surname Xu!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Whenever Xu Yuanzu saw Duke Changle and Duke Yong'an, he couldn't help but get angry. These two eldest men, his direct descendants, were actually given charge of the family by a woman!
"By the way, have you sent anyone to Xu Shuo?"
"Sent!"
Mr. Yong'an spoke in a low voice, "According to the time, there should be news in the next few days!"
"When you get news, come and tell me immediately. Okay, all of you, please stand down!"
Xu Yuanzu really didn't want to see these two descendants.
In fact, if he hadn't had no one available now, he would never have kept these two losers around.
"Maybe it's time for me to get the nightingale back!"
Sitting on the chair, Xu Yuanzu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrests of the chair.
Nightingale was an intelligence organization that he and Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, established when they first started to lay out their great cause. Initially, it was just to make money and obtain information from the world.
Later, as their power grew, Nightingale began to assassinate enemies.
In order to prevent Nightingale's power from becoming uncontrollable, they created the killer organization Underworld.
There are ten palaces of Yama in the underworld, but no one knows that he was the original Five-Function King of the ten palaces of Yama, and the King of Wheels was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Yama of the Tenth Palace, the First King of Qin Guang.
In the understanding of many people, King Qin Guang is the head of the Ten Halls of Yama, but in fact, the head of the Ten Halls of Yama is the tenth-ranked Wheel-turning King.
When the Tang Dynasty was established, he and Emperor Taizu withdrew from the underworld and allowed the underworld to expand wildly.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the world was not very peaceful. There were always some people who were disobedient and wanted to cause trouble. And these people were all exterminated by the people in the underworld for various reasons.
But the truth of the matter is that these are the intentions of Emperor Taizu, who was extremely wise in front of others.
"The Nightingale is now in the hands of the Queen Mother. It is a bit difficult to get it back."
"However, it should be relatively easy to master the underworld again."
Xu Yuanzu originally didn't want to have anything to do with the underworld anymore. After all, his current identity is Xu Yuanzu, Duke of Antai. However, the eldest princess can guess his identity, so will anyone else know it too
Xu Yuanzu, who has lived for two generations, was once a really decisive person on the battlefield, but now he was unusually hesitant.
Hell!
In order to escape from the underworld, they spent a lot of effort.
"What was I thinking?"
Suddenly, Xu Yuanzu raised his hand and slapped himself.
It's good that he is An Taigong now, but it's not much better than before. With such a huge force in the underworld, I would be stupid to put it aside and not use it.
That's right, take it back to the underworld first, and then snatch the nightingale back from the Queen Mother.
At that time, he will have the underworld for assassinations, nightingales for intelligence, and eighteen cavalry for fighting. This world will be in his pocket. (End of chapter)
