Xia Xun secretly complained, he didn't expect that Yang Xu's romantic debt should be here. He also didn't expect that Mrs. Sun was so bold and dared to propose to him in the living room.
But it's normal to think about it. Geng Xin is a man who married into the Sun family. Since he is a married woman, the control of the Sun family's property is actually still in the hands of Mrs. Sun. The servants and servants of the Sun family actually live in the hands of Mrs. Sun.
, Madam wants to steal someone, and if they just turn a blind eye, nothing will happen. The smarter ones will have to inform Madam and her lover when they appear outside the Geng Yuan.
A good servant with a future.
Of course, this matter should never be brought up on the table. If you encounter that situation, just cough, say something loudly, or find a reason to stop the staff. Madam knows it well and will do it.
For your benefit, it would be a tragedy if you could directly act like I know everything about you in front of my wife.
At this moment, Xia Xun figured out why Yuan Geng's expression was so weird, why the doctor sitting in the hall looked so weird, why Geng's father was making insinuations, why the lame servant looked at him with deep meaning... Everything, everything, the answer to the mystery.
There is only one: Yang Xu has an affair with Mrs. Sun.
This matter can be hidden from outsiders, but not from the people of the Sun family. However, due to Mrs. Sun's monopoly of power, not only everyone in the Sun family has to depend on her to live, even the Geng family and his son are no exception, so they can only swallow their anger. No wonder Zhang Shisan
Unknown details, he is Yang Xu's personal companion, and has Yang Xu's label on his forehead. Who is so blind to talk about his master's scandal in front of him?
Being provoked by this charming beauty, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel distracted and ready to make a move. He was a very strong man, and his sexual self-restraint was not extremely harsh. He didn't mind having a casual marriage with a beautiful woman.
In fact, when he was working as an undercover agent and entering and exiting sensual entertainment venues with drug dealers, he had faked it with the tacit consent of the police, but he was by no means a man who was so lustful that he was blinded by lust.
Having lost a big head for a small head, this deal is not worth it. Besides, although the game is harmless, Mrs. Sun is married. It would be against his conscience to have an affair with her. But now he is pretending to be with Sun.
How can Yang Wenxuan get rid of his wife who is having an affair with her?
While he was hesitating, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but pull him towards the small study room, and said delicately: "My friend, why don't you come and have some fun? Do you want someone to undress and untie you?"
Xia Xun gritted his teeth and was about to push her away and find some righteous reasons to end this absurd love affair with her. Suddenly, a voice from a Sun family member came from outside the hall: "Mr. Yang
, your family members came to my house to report that there is something important in your house, please go back immediately."
Xia Xun was overjoyed and quickly slid away from Mrs. Sun and responded loudly: "I know, I'll go back right now."
As he spoke, he said with relief to Mrs. Sun: "I have made an appointment with someone at home to discuss the matter, but I don't want to..., I have to leave."
Although Mrs. Sun was disappointed, her demeanor and demeanor quickly returned to grace and elegance. She let go of Xia Xun, calmly brushed the messy hair around her temples, and followed him out of the hall. As soon as she reached the entrance of the hall, she stood still with a calm expression.
Wei Wei blessed herself and said: "Young Master, please go slowly. I'm not far away and I'll see you off. Xiaolan, please send me off to Young Master Yang."
Looking at her behavior and expression at the moment, who would believe how charming she was just now?
A maid waiting in the corridor was Mrs. Sun's personal maid Xiaolan. She was standing in the corner politely. When she heard this, she hurriedly agreed, stepped forward to lure Xia Xun, and then walked out. The two of them had just left the yard.
, Mrs. Sun's face darkened, Li Dayin suddenly emerged from nowhere, dragged his remaining leg slowly to her side, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, can you see the clues?"
Mrs. Sun's face was uncertain, and she didn't speak for a long time. Li Dayin did not dare to urge her, so he just stood aside with his hands down. Occasionally, he glanced at the place where Xia Xun left outside the hospital, with a faint murderous look in his eyes...
A beauty as charming as a spring flower and as mature as a peach is a very pleasant thing for a man, right? Xia Xun originally thought so, but he never thought that one day he would have such a rare chance encounter.
It made him tremble with fear. He followed the maid Xiaolan out with lingering fear. When he was walking through the garden, he heard a girl's voice calling from a distance: "Master Yang."
Xia Xun stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and saw a girl named Pingping Tingting, dressed in green clothes, standing pretty under the moon gate of the side courtyard, holding a book in her hand, waving to him cheerfully
, the smile is as beautiful as a flower, very touching.
Xia Xun thought in shock: "Who is this?"
During the hesitation, the maid Xiaolan leaned forward and saluted: "Miss."
Xia Xun suddenly realized: "It turns out that she is Sun Miaoyi, the eldest lady of Shengchun Hall."
The girl came skipping over, waved to Xiaolan, and Xiaolan stepped aside. The girl walked up to Xia Xun, stretched out her jade-white palm in front of him, and said with a sweet smile: "Young Master Yang hasn't been to my house for a long time. Today
I finally caught him, where is the book that the young master promised to lend to the slave family?"
Xia Xun said in astonishment: "What kind of storybook?"
Miao Yi said angrily: "Master Yang promised to borrow Guan Hanqing's storybook "Du Rui Niang Zhi Bounty Thread Pool" to read at the slave's house. How come he forgot all about it? The reason for speaking is to believe it. If you don't believe it,
, Why do you think so? Fortunately for you, Mr. Yang is still a scholar with a good reputation. He really is not a believer."
Xia Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said haha: "Oh, I'm very sorry, I was going somewhere else today, and I happened to meet your father on the way, so I just went to the house to talk. How could I have a storybook with me, haha
, Well, next time I come to visit you, I will definitely bring that book and lend it to the lady to read."
Sun Miaoyi said: "Okay then, I will trust you once. If you make a mistake again, be careful of breaking your word and getting fat. Here, I'll give it to you."
Xia Xun wondered: "What is this?"
Sun Miaoyi said: "You borrowed "The Story of Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" from the slave family. I am not like you. When I heard that you arrived at my house, I picked it up immediately. Baba'er sent it to you. This is a script copied by the slave family.
Son, I cherish it very much, don’t let it be smeared.”
"Damn it, this Yang Wenxuan is still a libertine with petty bourgeois sentiments!"
Xia Xun touched his nose, smiled bitterly and went to pick up the storybook. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched the storybook, he felt a long and thin finger gently hooking in his palm. Xia Xun looked up and saw
A sly look flashed in Miss Sun's eyes, and she hurriedly said in a small voice that only the two of them could hear: "We will meet at the Jade Emperor Temple and the Silkworm Goddess Temple in the second quarter of the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?!" Xia Xun was messy in the wind and turned to stone on the spot.
Sun Miaoyi glanced at him shyly, withdrew his hand and said loudly: "Master, please don't forget what you promised me."
"Yang Xu, what evil have you done!" Xia Xun looked at the girl's leaving back with tears in her eyes!
Xia Xun left the Sun Mansion as if fleeing, and when he reached the street, he took a long breath, calmed down and asked Peng Ziqi: "What happened in the mansion?"
Peng Ziqi's nose was not a nose, not an eye, and he said: "How do I know what nonsense happened in your family!"
Xia Xun was stunned: "Didn't you mean..."
Miss Peng snorted coldly: "I just heard that Geng Yuan was drunk outside. I guess you are going to do something unscrupulous, so I can find any excuse to call you out! Yang Xu, after all, you are also a person who has read books about sages.
Can you do less immoral things?"
Xia Xun hesitated and said: "What's wrong with me?"
"What's wrong? You know what's wrong! There is a blue sky three feet above your head. People can bully you, but God cannot bully you! You are rich, powerful, famous and beautiful, but you can't get what you want? Why do you do anything that violates the laws of nature?
A matter of human relations.”
Xia Xun was a little surprised: "Does she actually know about Yang Xu?"
He asked hesitantly: "You mean..."
Peng Ziqi said with a pretty face: "I don't want to say it, it will dirty my mouth!"
Xia Xun suddenly smiled, gave her a long bow, and said with tears of gratitude: "I know what I did wrong yesterday, and after realizing what I did today, I have completely changed my past mistakes."
Peng Ziqi sneered: "Oh? Can a dog change to eat shit?"
Xia Xun spread his hands and said helplessly: "The prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold when he returns home, don't you think so?"
"Bah!" Miss Peng turned around and left.
Xia Xun wiped his face and followed him depressedly.
With Sun Mansion and his party, Xia Xun did not find out the details about Geng Yuan Wai, but instead discovered the intricate relationship between Yang Xu and Sun Mansion. This made Geng Yuan Wai's suspicions further aggravated, and there was more than the hatred of killing his father and taking away his wife
Is there a greater resentment? This is undoubtedly a powerful reason that can force good people to commit murder. Although he does not want to have anything to do with the people of the Sun family, in order to find out the truth, he must continue to make mistakes.
It's just that this kind of interaction seems to be more troublesome than the interaction with Zhang Shisan and Feng Zongqi. Thinking of the meeting at the Jade Emperor Temple that Miss Miaoyi agreed with him, Xia Xun feels uncomfortable. But he has no time to think about it now.
These things, because the King of Qi's birthday has come, he has to deal with this difficult person first.
On King Qi's birthday, Xia Xun prepared a generous gift. Anyone who does big business must have a strong backing. It is said that the Yang family took care of the business for King Qi and gained a lot of benefits from it, even if it was just to maintain relations with King Qi.
This relationship is worthy of his generous gift.
Four servants followed his car carrying the screen bought from "Fu'anju". The screen was made of golden nanmu and had drilled teeth. It was painted on fine silk with a picture of "Cats Flying to Butterflies".
"Shou Ping", "cat" is the same as "耄" (a seventy-year-old man), and "butterfly" is the same as "耋" (an eighty-year-old man). It has an extraordinary meaning, neither luxury nor luxury, and the materials used are the same.
It is valuable and has an auspicious meaning, so it is suitable for celebrating the birthdays of elders and respected people.
There are also servants holding the jade longevity peach bought from "Shengshi Qingbao". The top of the peach is red and the bottom is white, and below it are the green peach leaves. It looks lifelike. If the peach is red, it is white.
, the three green parts are carved from a single piece of jade, which is a rare treasure. Not to mention that it is rare to encounter but cannot be sought. Even if such a treasure really existed in the world, he would not be able to afford it if he spent all his money on it.
Each of the three colors of this Yushou Taoer is made from a piece of beautiful jade, which is made by skilled craftsmen after the carving is completed and then glued together with the finest isinglass. Because the craftsmanship is extremely skillful, the slight traces are not easy to detect. Using this method
An ingenious jade peach was presented to King Qi, which was considered a good thing.
In addition, it is real gold and silver. Roughly calculated, the total value of his birthday gift is about 1,500 guan. This is a quite heavy gift. If it were replaced by other gentry and merchants, even if it was for a nobleman like Prince Qi,
When celebrating a birthday, one would not be so generous as to give out a birthday gift worth fifteen hundred guan.
Today, the King of Qi celebrates his birthday. Envoys have been sent from the capital. Envoys from various vassals have been sent. All the prominent figures in Qingzhou City have come. The chief envoy and the commander-in-chief brought their subordinates and subordinates yesterday.
Jinan Prefecture came here and stayed at the prefect's Yamen temporarily, all for today's birthday banquet of King Qi. At this time, congratulators from all walks of life were on the road, and it became more and more crowded as we went to the west city.
The Prince's Palace of Qi was built on the site of Longxing Temple in the west city of Qingzhou. Its scale was not much larger than the original Longxing Temple. It was very different from the palace built by King Yan Zhu Di based on the Yuan Dynasty palace. No wonder he called himself
After seeing the magnificence of Prince Yan's Palace, he couldn't look down on his own palace and tried his best to rebuild one.
When Xia Xun rushed to Prince Qi's Mansion with gifts, he saw a lot of traffic in front of the door, and birthday congratulators crowded in and out. Those who came in were naturally congratulatory people. Such people included local current and retired high-ranking officials.
Local celebrities, wealthy gentry, envoys from various vassal kings, envoys sent by the court, etc. There are officials and gentry who are only qualified to give gifts, but not qualified to stay for a glass of wine.
When Xia Xun arrived at the palace, he was greeted by a courtesy officer at the door. Xia Xun's gift slip was handed over to him. The courtesy officer was surprised and looked up at the lacquer plate covered with red silk and the red screen.
, plus a small box containing treasure banknotes, the etiquette officer put down his pen and whispered a few words to a small yellow door running around, and the small yellow door immediately ran away.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a brand-new eunuch uniform, with a white face and no beard, came over with a smile. This man was Shu Tong, the right servant of the Prince's Administrative Department. He was a seventh-rank eunuch. He received some officials from the prefecture's Yamen.
This status was enough, but he came to greet him as a gentleman with only a great reputation. Peng Ziqi couldn't help but glance at Xia Xun in surprise. He didn't expect that this lustful and shameless boy would be so famous in the palace.
Although the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty had good rank and salary, they did not have much status. These eunuchs were very content and did not dare to be arrogant and arrogant. When he saw Xia Xun, Eunuch Shu greeted him first and smiled kindly.
He said: "Young Master Yang is here. The front hall is very messy. You are a distinguished guest. Please come with us and sit in the side hall."
Peng Ziqi was about to follow him. He just happened to see what the palace looked like. He didn't want Eunuch Shu to stop him, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the young master's servants can't come in."
Peng Ziqi raised his eyebrows and gave Xia Xun a fierce look. Xia Xuan was followed by her all day long, so it was rare for her to have some personal space. After hearing what Eunuch Shu said, Xia Xun couldn't ask for it. He quickly agreed and said to Peng Ziqi: "Xiao Qi,
You take the servants in the house and wait in a shady place. I will come to look for you after drinking." After saying this, he followed Eunuch Shu in without looking at her face.
The system of kings is to lower the emperor to a higher level.
In other words, the prince's ceremonial splendidness was only slightly inferior to that of the emperor. As you can imagine, Prince Qi's birthday banquet was grand and grand. The Royal Dining Office was responsible for the food of the birthday banquet, and the Ceremony Office was responsible for the etiquette of the entire birthday banquet.
According to the production process, the Gongzheng Office is responsible for the decoration and decoration of the entire palace, while the Etiquette and Wedding Department is responsible for the security work inside and outside the palace.
In addition, there were Si Guan, Si Yi, Si Pei, Si Lu, Yin Lishe, and the young eunuchs and maids shuttled back and forth. The whole birthday banquet was held in a prosperous manner. Yang Wenxuan was introduced to a side hall in the second floor of the courtyard.
There are also more than a dozen tables of banquets arranged here, but only people from all walks of life who have a close relationship with the palace are eligible to be invited here.
Naturally, many of these people knew Yang Wenxuan, so Xia Xun was very cautious. With his careful handling, there was no trouble during the dinner. Xia Xun dealt with acquaintances casually, eating more food and drinking less wine.
Just filling his stomach and eating, he suddenly noticed that there were fewer and fewer people eating the birthday banquet in the palace. He put down his chopsticks and saw that the few people left were also whispering to each other with mysterious expressions, and then they all stood up to leave.
.
Xia Xun couldn't help but wonder: "What the hell happened again?"
