Zhang Tianci was beaten by his wife.
In the past, he would go to Chunyan Tower quietly, and even if he was seen by others, he would not make a big fuss. Although his wife suspected that he had gone, she had no evidence.
This time he devoted himself to business and went to Chunyan Tower in a big way, lest others not know about it, so naturally he couldn't hide it from his wife. It was actually not a big problem for Ming men to go to brothels, especially businessmen. This was also the reason why the Zhang family turned a blind eye in the past.
But this time it was different. Zhang Tianci made such a big fuss. The key was that when he came back from a trip, he went directly to Chunyan Tower to have fun without even entering the house. It was like putting a note on his forehead: "My wife is a tigress, and we are not in love." And, sex-life disharmony!”
Zhang Tianci did not dare to fight back, nor did he dare to tell the truth in front of his servants. Because Xiao Feng repeatedly told him that the success or failure of this matter depends on keeping it secret! So I received a full set of fat beatings, which was extremely painful. When it was late at night and the wife had calmed down, Zhang Tianci quietly spoke out Xiao Feng's instructions under the quilt.
When she heard that the husband was a prostitute for the sake of public service, the Zhang family's wife immediately lost her temper. She began to regret that she had been too harsh, so she couldn't help but comfort her gently. After all the hardships, Zhang Tianci had the happiest night since his wedding night.
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Tianci left the city among the crowd. The Zhang family's wife announced to the outside world that her husband was ill and would need to rest at home for a few days. People in the Beijing business circle laughed, saying that they were sick, or that they were beaten so hard by their wives that they couldn't get up. Either he was put under house arrest by his wife and had to pay enough public food at home for a few days before he could be released.
As the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, Tan Xinren, Zhang Tianci's archrival, naturally had to laugh at him. However, some people noticed that he didn't smile so happily, as if Zhang Tianci was beaten and he felt distressed, which was very strange.
Then there were strange rumors spread, saying that Tan Xinren was bent on killing Zhang Tianci, but in fact they were in love and killing each other. His purpose may not be to get Zhang Yunqing, but...
Liu Tong's promotion order to doctor finally came down, and he happily went to work in the household department to welcome his new career peak. As a doctor, he has his own separate room, instead of having to share a room with several people like Yuanwailang. In other words, he achieved office freedom!
He had a cheerful face all the way and greeted people passing by frequently. Everyone thought he was lucky and wanted to get lucky, so they all chatted with him warmly. At this moment, a cold snort sounded: "Shilang Liu, are you proud of your son-in-law for your promotion?"
Everyone was stunned, Liu Tong looked up, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The person who attacked him was the left minister of the household department, Tan Tong, the second-in-command of the household department. I saw Tan Tong frowning, his face covered with frost, and his teeth bared, as if he and Liu Tong had a grudge against Liu Tong for taking his wife.
Liu Tong had just been promoted from Yuanwailang, and he felt guilty when facing other doctors, let alone Zuo Shilang, who was the second-in-command. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Sir, you really know how to joke. What kind of words are you talking about?"
Tan Tong looked like he wanted to bite off a piece of his flesh, and said through gritted teeth: "Your good son-in-law first made a lot of money from sorghum, and by the way, you were promoted to a doctor by taking the credit. Now he is using glutinous rice to harm other people." Grain traders, you are disrupting the market, how dare you say you don’t know?”
Liu Tong was shocked, thinking that he was really sitting at home behind closed doors, and the pot came from the sky. He quickly clarified: "You don't know something, sir. Although Xiao Feng was related to my family, after his father passed away, the two families have been separated." After friendly negotiation, the engagement was terminated. He has never been to the official's house, and no one from the official's house has ever been in contact with him. If he commits adultery or violates the law, your Majesty will just take action, and the official will never complain. "
Tan Tong's expression softened slightly. He had heard some things about Liu Tong and Xiao Feng's disagreement, but last night he heard Tan Xinren's report that he fell into Xiao Feng's futures contract scheme and suffered heavy losses. He didn't understand what futures were. He only knew that Tan Xinren's Shengshi Grain Store had lost a lot of money, and this year's dividends were worrying.
Although Tan Xinren had two other businesses, they each had different backers, and Tan Xinren did not dare to transfer the money earned from those two businesses to the grain store. So regardless of whether Tan Xinren makes money this year or not, Tan Tong's hard life is definitely over. When Tan Tong was furious, he happened to see Liu Tong, and Liu Tong was naturally in trouble.
Now listening to Liu Tong's firm words, it seemed that it really had nothing to do with him, and Tan Tong's anger was half gone. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a foreign minister whispered: "Mr. Liu, yesterday my servant went shopping on the main street and said he saw your young master Liu Peng taking his maid to Xiao's house. How can he say there was no contact? "
Tan Tong suddenly turned around and glared at Liu Tong.
Liu Tong was at a loss for words and pointed at the Yuanwailang who was probably jealous of his promotion: "How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? Even if this happened, Peng'er is still a child. Children, well, children's matters can be settled. Contact?"
After all, Liu Tong was already a doctor, and the Yuanwailang did not dare to openly confront him, but just lowered his head and snickered. Each doctor has his or her own responsibility, and since Liu Tong has no control over his area, he is not afraid.
Liu Tong used his momentum to suppress his opponent, and after winning a breathing space, he wanted to explain to Tan Tong: "Sir, it's possible for a dog to be naughty and run around while we go out to play. I must be strict when I go back. More control. But Xiaguan didn't lie. Xiao Feng has indeed never been to Xiaguan's house since the engagement was terminated..."
An executive happened to be passing by nearby. He had a good relationship with Liu Tong. When he saw Liu Tong from a distance, he said hello: "Master Liu, I am going out to do something. When I passed by your house, I saw Xiao Feng bringing gifts to your house!"
Liu Tong almost held back his breath. Tan Tong's face turned the color of pig liver and he pointed at Liu Tong. He was speechless for a long time, turned around and walked away. Liu Tong was about to cry but had no tears. The good mood of being promoted was gone. He wished he could go to the office right away and rush back to seize Xiao Feng, a little beast, and ask him what good thing he had done to make him suffer.
But after all, it was the first day of promotion. It would be outrageous to arrive late and leave early on the first day, so Liu Tong stayed in the Yamen on pins and needles until the next Yamen time. Just as the handyman shouted: "My lords, it's time to go to the Yamen..." Liu Tong jumped up as if his butt was on fire. He didn't care about his grace anymore and ran home with his legs like hot wheels.
Everyone in the family was normal, only the housekeeper looked at him with a wink. Liu Tong held back her anger, pulled the housekeeper aside and asked about the situation.
"Master, Xiao Feng is quite polite. Knowing that the master was not at home, he refused to enter the second door. He just put down the gift and chatted with Madam for a few words through the curtain. He brought Qiaoqiao here, and Madam gave Qiaoqiao A few pieces of candy, that’s all.”
Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xiao Feng came to visit him, which made him unhappy, Xiao Feng was a nerd and the marriage was over. After all, he was still dating his father back then. If he walked around occasionally, others wouldn't gossip.
"Later, when Xiao Feng was about to leave, the lady rushed out from the back hall and met with Xiao Feng. The lady ran so fast that neither the maid nor the madam could hold her back, and the curtains were knocked down, so the madam and Xiao Feng It’s like meeting..."
Liu Tong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and strode towards the backyard, looking furious and determined not to give up.
The butler hesitated: "Sir, it's dinner time, do you want to start dinner?"
Liu Tong's pace slowed down, then stopped, and he spoke a few words through his teeth: "Let's have dinner. Let's talk about all the big things after dinner!"
