Although Fu Rong is a middle-ranking official, there are indispensable all kinds of beautiful women in the huge mansion. Some of them come here due to the filial piety of those below who have recognized their godson or even godson grandson, some of them are selected from the front by selling themselves, and some of them are familiar and reliable.
Ren Yazi specially selected those who were docile and agreeable and sent them to the palace... However, since the Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji gave the eunuch Wang Jin his maid as his wife, almost everyone in the official palace has a royal wife.
This lady is no better than those women who were brought in with such fate. Although she did not have a royal title or gift, she is the upright mistress of the family. Fu Rong's wife, Huang, came from a general family, and her father was a commander. Now,
After thirty, she became more and more graceful. She managed the big house in an orderly manner and taught her adopted children diligently, so she was quite respected by Fu Rong. At noon, she welcomed Fu Rong into the house. She personally laid out the chopsticks and served the meal.
Some of them ate more than half of the bowl, and they used their chopsticks a few more times to eat various dishes. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Why is the master in such a good mood?"
"Oh, you can also tell that our family is in a good mood?" Fu Rong rinsed his mouth and took the tea that Huang personally brought, and then turned away from the serving girls in the room, and then said with interest, "Remember last time?
What happened when Heng'an fell into the water and almost died? The old man and the young man who saved him are staying in the house now. "
"Oh, the person was found?" Mrs. Huang was immediately very happy and sat down next to Fu Rong. She smiled and said, "Since they are the saviors, I should reward them heavily. This kid Heng'an accepted death for that."
I never thanked you for saving my life, so I was brought back by the people sent by the master. I will definitely mention it in front of me every time I come back."
"Don't worry about him, he learned the sour temper from those scholars. Thank you? If he were not our son, how could he thank others?" Fu Rong snorted, and then said lightly, "Thank you for what.
It's not as good as support. If everything can be done this time, then even if our family is away from now on, you, him and Jin'er will have someone to rely on."
"Sir, why do you say such unlucky words!"
Mrs. Huang was startled. When she was about to persuade her again, she saw that Fu Rong seemed to be in a daze. After thinking about it, she fell silent. She just walked around behind Fu Rong and squeezed his shoulders. This couple was a couple in name only.
The two of them just sat and stood like this, and there was no sound in the room. It was so quiet that it was a bit depressing.

North of Chongli Street, Nanjing Jinyiwei.
When Chen Lu and two school lieutenants walked in from the corner door on the side of Yimen, they happened to bump into a group of people coming out. As soon as the leader saw him, he immediately walked a few steps to greet him, cupped his hands and shouted three
Uncle, it is Nanjing Jinyi Guards who guards Chen. The two are uncles and nephews of the same clan. Chen Xingzi is so arrogant. After he got an official position because of Chen Zusheng, he made friends and made a lot of people. Unlike Chen Lu, who was a lonely man, his family was
Apart from the youngest son and three or four old servants, there was only one dog with all its hair lost.
Seeing Chen leading a group of people, Chen Lu frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going to investigate the case!" Chen saw that Chen Lu's face was not good, so he waved his hands and ordered the people who followed him to move away. Then he came closer and whispered, "Lin Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Jun, the censor of the capital, let's sacrifice wine.
Zhang Mao, and Zhang Fuhua, the famous Four Gentlemen of Nandu, have convened another literary meeting. It is said that Zhao Qin, the empress who impeached us, is also attending the meeting. Of course I will send someone to check it out.
If we can find out what they said is illegal..."
"Who asked you to do such a thing, stupid!" Chen Lu drank in a low voice. Seeing Chen's unconvinced face, he dragged the person inside until he entered the empty signing room.
After closing the door, he said angrily, "This is Jinling, this is Nanjing, not Fujian! The name of Jinyiwei sounds impressive, but it has stopped scaring people in recent years! If you still spy on someone knowing that you are being impeached, by then
There is no need for a cabinet, someone will turn you into powder with just one finger."
"Third uncle, what are you talking about? I also heard that you and Zhao Qin were tit for tat in some ancestral hall today..."
"Which family? Isn't it the Xu family in Taiping?" Chen Lu snorted, and then said calmly, "It was through Eunuch Fu's influence, and it was approved by Eunuch Fu himself. Besides, Zhao Qin has already been in the wrong.
We had already suffered a huge defeat, and now we have to make concessions. But that concession is just what it looks like. I know he won't hate Eunuch Fu, so what tricks will he use again?"
"Then it's more appropriate..."
"Don't you think about how conspicuous your people will be since it is a gathering of those who are innocent? If you are recognized and beaten up and it becomes known throughout the city, your governor has been impeached.
Can you continue to be the leader?" Seeing that Chen was speechless for a moment, he said softly, "Listen to me. Zhao Qin will retaliate for his anger. This time he suffered the loss of being mute, and he may even hate Eunuch Fu.
If you want to win this turnaround, all you have to do is watch him from a distance and let him go crazy and make mistakes!"
Although Chen Lu was careless, he was the only one who was most afraid of this sinister clan brother. When he saw Chen Lu narrowing his eyes, he unconsciously trembled in his heart. Thinking of the morning situation reported by the next person, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
, and immediately asked softly: "Could it be that the third brother was doing everything in front of Zhao Qin just for..."
"Yes, didn't he just impeach us? It's better to continue to impeach me. It would be better if he jumps over the wall and adds Eunuch Fu... Don't worry about what these Qingliu are doing during the cultural meeting.
, you go to Jurong and try to find local people to inquire. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to dig out Zhao Qin's affairs for me, especially why he must seize the Xu family's land. Good steel is used in blades.
Even if it won’t be used for a while now, there will still be time to settle the accounts in the future!”
****************************
The Bronze Pavilion in the West Garden of the Duke of Wei's Mansion was originally a warm pavilion for viewing the snow scene in winter. But now in the afternoon when the spring flowers were blooming, Duke Xu of Wei became very interested and walked around the garden for a long time. Finally, he stood in the Bronze Pavilion.
He sat down in the pavilion. Xu, who was in his early fifties, had gray hair on his temples and his back was already slightly stooped. He wore a straight amber hair crown and a blue satin shirt. He did not look very luxurious, but his eyes were distinct.
It was dark outside. Wan Quan, who had been following him all the way, was now standing beside him. He was going to talk about what happened this morning, but unexpectedly Xu waved his hand.
"I don't care what happened. Since you said that Chen Lu arrived at that time, it must be Fu Rong's intention." Xu thought of the few people he sent out today, and a careless smile appeared on his face, "Since it is
Fu Rong must be guaranteed, then you go, that's my attitude. With the land deeds handed over by the Xu family on this trip, the affairs of the Gongyuan can be divided among those families, and I understand that they will no longer dare to lie.
Excuse me! The same goes for water conservancy. There have been so many murders in the countryside fighting for water, and they, the rich, have the nerve to hold their purses tightly! Don't think I don't know, they actually blocked the canals where people draw water.
Just those fields for yourself!”
"The master is wise." Wan Quan bowed and looked at Xu's face. He thought to himself that his farms could survive the drought in this way, but he asked in a low voice, "Only Xu Xun offered it in one breath."
I have acquired four hundred acres of fertile land, and I am afraid that none of the other wealthy households in our southern Zhili region will be so generous. In order not to be so conspicuous, would the master... should he share the benefits with Eunuch Fu..."
"What's the profit sharing? Do you think Fu Rong still lacks that little money?"
Xu glanced at Wanquan coldly and saw that he immediately knelt down and did not dare to say a word. Then he said word by word: "Don't be smart in the future. And these lands, half will be used for the daily expenses of the Gongyuan in the future, and the other half will be used for the daily expenses of the Gongyuan.
Ying Tianfu's several water conservancy expenses are used. If anyone dares to make any plans, I will dare to skin them! By the way, you have someone go to the madam to talk to her. Shikun finally recognized a good person this time and did something.
Good thing. Let Madam stop thinking about the matter of the Imperial College. You must know that Zhang Mao is good at learning, but he is a bit tortuous and blindly protects poor students. Otherwise, Fu Rong's son almost fell into the water and lost his life. Humanity is an article,
It's too late for Shikun to take the imperial examination, so he might as well take the military position as Enyin. I'll see Xu Jiazi tomorrow and ask him to come with him!"
Wan Quan was naturally not stupid enough to ask what the so-called half and half meant, but he just bowed his head deeply.
"I understand, little one."
ps: Finally, the preparation is almost done. There is still a lot of fighting before going to the capital... Hey, I was kicked off from the bottom of the weekly promotion again. I am depressed...
