On the afternoon of the next day, before Shen Shi arrived, Xia Xun was dressed in Taoist uniform, took Lao Peng and a guard, and arrived at Taoyuan Temple in a leisurely manner. Xue Lu and his craftsmen were repairing the Taoist temple, and he was really scheming. , did not give up on his promise just because Yu Chungu Niang had already agreed to his happy event. The sedan came only when it was ready, but he came early in the morning to repair the Taoist temple, and he was also worried that Ji Gang would start early.
As soon as Xia Xun arrived, Xue Lu felt relieved. He hurried up to greet Xia Xun, exchanged words with Xia Xun, and then led him to a simple residence in the side hall of the temple, happily Di called out: "Yu Chun, come quickly, has the Duke come to congratulate you and me on our happy event?"
The door creaked, Dong Yuchun, who had changed into a month-long huá skirt, applied light makeup and lightly painted her eyebrows. When she heard the call, she quickly put down her eyebrow pencil, opened the door and walked out. When she saw the Duke, she was immediately stunned.一dāi.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It's really beautiful and exquisite!"
When Xia Xun saw this girl, he couldn't help but secretly praise her. Not only did she look good, but she was also well-dressed. There was not a trace of aura of dust on her body, and her eyes were clear and clear, as if she was a flower emerging from the mud. Dyeing blue lotus for washing water.
Xia Xun looked at it again and found that it looked familiar, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"The Duke of the State...the Duke of the Assistant State..."
Dong Yuchun reacted first and bowed to Xia Xun. Xia Xun finally remembered her identity and said with an "ah": "It's you!"
Xue Lu said in a daze: "Duke Yé, you... do you know Yu Chun?"
Although Xue Lu loved Dong Yuchun deeply and didn't care about her past, as soon as he saw the two of them acquainted, he couldn't help but wonder if it was the Duke who visited a brothel and had been Yuchun's benefactor? Yuchun was about to become his woman. , but the congratulator was the man who had shared the same bed with her. This was really awkward, and no matter how big-hearted he was, he would not feel comfortable.
Xia Xun couldn't help but smile: "So it's you, haha, Brother Xue, you have good eyesight!"
Xue Lu smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "A woman who even your father-in-law hired with a million dollars is certainly good..."
Xia Xun didn't know that he was thinking wrong and said with a smile: "I recognize this girl. When the disaster relief came to Huzhou, I went back to Guan Chang Yinglin to pretend and deceive me. It was this girl who poured a glass of wine on me. There were righteous words and stern words on her face, and after a lesson, I was able to see through the true face of Chang Yinglin. Brother Xue, the strange woman I mentioned that makes people admire and respect me is the girl in front of me!"
Only then did Xue Lu realize that he had thought wrongly. When he asked what had happened, he couldn't help but be in awe of Dong Yuchun. How much courage does it take for a weak woman to dare to drink wine and rebuke the public? Here, he really respects and loves Yu Chungu Niang, and likes her even more.
Ji Gang changed into a brightly colored official uniform, rode a white horse, led a group of friends, carried a small sedan, and rushed to Taoyuan Temple.
The Eight Great Vajras are here. Zhu Tusi has died, and naturally someone will take his place. There are many talented people in the Jinyi Guards. Originally, the most qualified person to be promoted should be Yin Shenghui and Yin Qianhu. Unfortunately, Yin Qianhu disappeared without a trace in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. There is no trace, and up to now, there is still no one, no one, so it is natural that Yu Jian joins thousands of households, rising through the ranks, and becomes the youngest of the Eight Great Vajras.
Today, all these people have come to watch the fun.
Is he afraid that Ji Gang is so arrogant?
Don't be afraid!
For one thing, he thought he knew the emperor's bloodline so well that he didn't even care about the Duke of Gouhui, who was the emperor's most favored minister, relative, or the emperor. He made it clear that he wanted him to state his position: he was the one who belonged exclusively to the emperor. The emperor's one-man Hui Gou, the one who supervises the hundreds of guards for the emperor! The more he opposes the hundreds of guards, the more confident the emperor is in using him. Now even Jinyiwei Nanzhen completely belongs to him, and Jinyiwei has become monolithic. This is the emperor's trust. Him, the signal to support him, what is he afraid of?
Secondly, there is a world of difference between a wife and a concubine. What is a concubine? A concubine is just an object. As long as the nobles are willing, they can give it to others. A gift to others, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, they could give it to others casually. It is common for concubines to be used as concubines to change horses and poems, or even to hear that a friend is traveling alone to a certain place as a concubine. If he is afraid that he will be lonely on the journey, he will be given a beautiful concubine to serve him. This is a common thing.
By the Ming Dynasty, although this trend had weakened, it was still common to give concubines as gifts. Who took concubines seriously? It was no big deal to fight for the same thing. Even if an imperial envoy really impeached him for this matter, he was not afraid , he was suffering from máo, and was despised by the civil and military enemies of the court, so he followed the emperor's wishes, but wasn't Xue Lu afraid? The two of them took different paths.
Therefore, he was unscrupulous. He came today just to snatch Xue Lu's woman and ravage her under his own hands. If he didn't like her, he would take her to the brothel another day. He wanted to make Xue Lu completely ashamed. Return to the earth and return to your own glory!
The discipline of today is no longer the discipline of the past. The emperor's beating seemed to have enlightened him and he understood how to behave in order to gain the emperor's unlimited favor.
Ji Gang's concubinage was a big deal. Qinghan Gunian, the cousin of Chang Yinglin, the prefect of Huzhou, a young lady from an upright eunuch family, became his concubine. Chang Yinglin also made a small concubine. The sedan chair was brought back to the door on its own initiative and carried from the side door into his bedroom. She became his bedside companion. How could a concubine need to work for him? Master Ji would welcome her by himself when he returned home?
But this time it was different. Xue Lu was a military commander, and he was very popular in the army. Now he was serving as the governor of the fifth-jun governor's mansion. When the officer returned to his post, he was on the same level as him. He was also a little worried about the difference in rank among the thousands of households under his command. Too much, he couldn't control the situation and lost his people, so he condescended and came to his own accord.
Ji Gang was riding on his horse, joking and joking with his younger brothers. He was very proud of himself. When he arrived in front of Taoyuan Temple, it was Shenshi. As soon as he reined in his horse, he saw another sedan coming towards him on the road ahead. Two sedan bearers, one The boy, an old man, was all wearing new clothes and looked full of joy. When Ji Gang saw him, he didn't dismount. He held the reins with both hands and sat on the horse with his eyebrows crossed to watch.
The small sedan was carried to the Taoyuan Temple. Yu Jian, the new youngest of the Eight Vajras, had the awareness of a younger brother. He immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Hi! What do you do?"
The old mā was startled, and looked up. Immediately, the dozen or so women all had their eyebrows raised, and they looked back at each other with fierce expressions. He couldn't help being frightened, and said hurriedly: "I am a happy old woman, yes." Mr.
After hearing this, Yu Jian shook his shoulders and smiled. He turned around and said flatteringly to Ji Gang: "Sir, you see, that Xue Lu was afraid of you, so he didn't dare to come and compete with you. He was also afraid of losing face, so he just hired a sedan to pick him up." As for the man, sir, please help him. The young one will go to the temple to pick up Yu Chungu Niang, and he will go back with you and be happy. It’s saved, what do you think?”
When he said these sarcastic words, the Eight Great Vajras laughed on the horse, but Ji Gang felt very bored. If he had known that Xue Lu wouldn't come, why would he lower his status and come here all by himself? Even if he comes here, he will The Taoist nun rushed back to the house, but he could no longer show his majesty. Ji Gang's face sank and he snorted in displeasure.
The reason why Ji Younan wins Ji Gang's favor is that he is the best at figuring out Ji Gang's thoughts. One look at Ji Gang's appearance and he knew that Ji Gang found such a result boring. He rolled his eyes and immediately reprimanded Yu Jian: "You bastard! How dare you compete with us adults for women?" Yes, why should we save him any face? If we tell him, how can we, the adults, hold our heads up? We will destroy their sedan chair!"
Yu Jian glanced at Ji Gang and saw that he didn't say anything, so he quickly said: "Yes, yes, you are a fool in a humble position! You are a fool in a humble position!"
He jumped off the horse and ran towards the small sedan chair brought by Xue Lu's family. As soon as he raised his foot, he kicked the sedan chair. The two sedan bearers were frightened and ran away quickly. Yu Jian held Gong in his arms. With the thought of redeeming himself, he pulled out the sedan pole, swung it and started to yell, cursing and saying: "He is so stupid, how dare you mess with the woman that Mr. Ji likes!"
While he was scolding, several guards rushed over to help, and in the blink of an eye the sedan was smashed to pieces. At that time, officers did not have the habit of sitting in a sedan, especially military commanders, who had to ride horses, so The Xue family did not have a sedan chair, nor did they have any bearers. These were all hired wedding sedans. The two bearers saw that the things they relied on for a living were destroyed, and they were so distressed that they burst into tears, but they did not dare to speak.
Among the four people, only that boy was from Xue Lu's house. When he saw that he was going to go back to pick up the newly brewed sedan chair, he was afraid, but he still stepped forward to stop him, and timidly begged: "Everyone." When the elder comes back, don’t move in the sedan chair. The younger one has nothing to explain when he goes back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Jian slapped him across the face so hard that the half-grown child fell to the ground. His cheeks were swollen. The child was so frightened that he fell to the ground and cried loudly. , wiping tears, no longer daring to stop him. Yu Jian swung the sedan pole so hard that it was so powerful that after he smashed the sedan to pieces, he came close to Ji Gang's horse, gasping for air and said with a smile: " grown ups!"
Ji Gang snorted and said, "I'm still waiting for the bridal chamber. It's getting late, so hurry up and get the new stuff!"
"Yes yes yes!"
Yu Jian agreed, then waved his hand and led the two guards to rush towards Taohua Temple. The call at the door had already alerted the workers who were repairing inside the temple. The workers were crowding around the door to watch. In the excitement, a fierce-looking figure walked towards the door, and stepped out of the way with a sweep of the ground. Yu Jian, proud and majestic, stepped inside.
As soon as he stepped into the door, a person suddenly rushed out, raised his hand and slapped his ears with a big slap, "Pah!", the sound was loud, and Yu Jian's head was slapped back and forth like a rattle. He moved a little and his eyes were a little crooked. Yu Jian didn't react. He was a little dazed by the slap and couldn't help shouting: "Who hit me?"
"I'll beat you!"
As soon as the voice fell, a big slap hit the other half of his face. Yu Jian's head shook violently like a rattle. Only then could he see clearly the person who came. He was not short in stature, but a little hunchbacked and had a big frame. But he is a bit thin, with thick eyebrows, a flat nose, a thunderous mouth, and his arms are extremely long, almost above his knees, making him look a bit ape-like.
After Lao Pan scolded him, he raised his big foot to his chest and kicked him again. Yu Jian fell out of the gate with his back on his back.
"Who is making the noise outside?"
A slow question came from behind, and Lao Pan quickly stepped aside and said respectfully: "My lord, a few birdmen came from nowhere and didn't understand the rules, so they disturbed you."
Following the sound, Xia Xun walked out leisurely, followed by Xue Lu and Liu Yujue, followed by General Heng Ha. Xia Xun walked out slowly, stopped at the door, and looked at Ji Gang and others. Come!
