After another long night of fighting, Master Li had to clean up the battlefield himself because he couldn't be exposed. He couldn't let others see his flaws. He was tired and happy at the same time.
In her sleep, she felt someone caressing her cheek. Li Shishi opened her eyes in confusion. When she saw the little white fat man in front of her clearly, she was excited and was about to get up: "Guan's family."
"No need to be polite, just lie down, I just came to see you." Zhao Ji stopped him with a gentle voice.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Seeing her sleepy look, Zhao Ji shook his head and smiled: "Today I heard a good poem spread among the people. I want to tell you to listen to it, and it will make you feel at ease."
"The officials all said yes, I think the poem is very good." She complimented her as usual and didn't think much about it, but after Zhao Ji recited it, her eyes widened.
Noticing her surprised look, Zhao Ji recited the last sentence, shook his head and said: "It seems that Master also thinks this word is very good, and I don't know who this person is. There is no news about such a good word, and it is only spread by word of mouth." , it became popular in Bianjing in just one day and night. But that person is a good woman in a dimly lit place."
Master Li smiled like a flower: "What the officials said is true." Only she knew that the words were written for her.
Zhao Ji continued to talk for a while, but when he saw that she was no longer as energetic as when she just listened to the words, she held on drowsily and sighed: "Okay, you can take a good rest. I'm leaving." After that, he simply held on. turned and left.
Seeing Zhao Ji leave, Li Shishi turned over and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with big eyes, thinking about the future.
She really wanted to go with her lover, but she couldn't. She was raised by Zhao Ji, and her husband worked for Zhao Ji, so it was difficult to talk to others. But since she was concerned, she didn't want to follow Zhao Ji. She was dirty in the past, but she wanted to be clean in the future. But if Zhao Ji was an ordinary person, it would be fine. He was the most noble emperor of the Song Dynasty. What could she do if she was a weak woman?
Although her husband had already told her that she would not care if she had to, she still wanted to leave the best of herself to her husband. But she is helpless, she is a weak woman and cannot help herself...
She thought about her beloved, who should be far away from Bianjing now. Although she said she would come often, she also knew that it was not easy to get back and forth even though they were far apart. But she is looking forward to the day that always comes tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day.
She wanted to think more about it, but she was too tired and fell asleep without thinking...
The trip out was not in vain. I also bought a lot of things, as well as a few carts of rewards from Zhao Ji. I formed a convoy and walked back slowly. Wang Yan couldn't stand the long journey, so he took two of his men and rode hard all the way. It took him three days to finally return to Wangjiazhuang.
"My boss."
"High official."
The return of the head of the family is, of course, a big event. Everyone in the house came out to pick them up if they needed anything.
"Okay, okay, I've only been out for half a month, and I haven't done anything big. Wherever you have to mobilize people like this, just do things on your own, do things on your own." Wang Yan dismissed everyone with a smile, and walked into the house with a smile. Hehehe looked at Wu Song who was a little fatter: "Erlang, it seems that you and your wife are getting along very well. You look fatter. Is it because you don't have time to practice martial arts recently?"
Of course it is easy for Wu Song to find a partner, and besides, he has already been scouted before. After Wu Dalang got married last year, Wu Song's life-long affairs were settled in just two months. She is the daughter of a scholar's family. She is literate and has good manners. She is better than an ordinary peasant girl. Therefore, Wu Song has already spent several months in the days when women know whether he is hot or cold. Now it seems that it is not that Wu Song does not love women, but that he has no chance.
Originally, at the time of the original drama, Wu Dalang was about to go on a blind date with his good brother. If Pan Jinlian hadn't had any trouble, it would have been time for her to get married. Later, Pan Jinlian's incident cast a shadow on Wu Song, and during the Yuanyang Tower incident, the maid betrayed him, and his good impression of the woman disappeared. I became a traveler again and went to Liangshan. In Liangshan, every contestant was either a contestant who killed his wife to achieve enlightenment, or a king of the mountain who took away the wives of others, or others who only cared about brotherly loyalty. In that kind of environment, how can the atmosphere in Liangshan be improved?
Wu Song was eating wine from a big bowl, eating meat in large chunks, and dividing gold and silver on a large scale. How could he think about women?
Wu Song felt a little embarrassed when he heard what the senior official said: "It is true that he is a little lazy. Don't worry, senior official. Even so, it will not affect Wu Song's fighting. When my wife's family stabilizes, Wu Song can practice martial arts with peace of mind."
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, the old housekeeper Wang Fusheng explained: "My boss, the wife of Erlang's family is pregnant. My boss found out about it the day after he went to Bianjing."
Looking at the grinning Wu Song, the official patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, if you give birth to a boy, I can safely let you go out to work. How is your brother? Is there any news? "
"Not yet." Wu Song shook his head and said: "The doctor in our house has looked at it. He said that my brother was born with a defect and it would be difficult to have a child. Moreover, my brother and sister-in-law were also worried, fearing that the child would be like my brother. It won’t grow that big.”
Is it hereditary? This worry is very correct. Wang Yan said with a smile: "It is not easy to be pregnant. Why worry about what happens after the child is born? Just let nature take its course. If it is like your brother, there is no need to worry. He is a boy. If she is a girl, my Wang family will take care of her."
"Thank you, sir."
After waving his hand, Wang Yan turned to the old housekeeper and asked about various matters during this period. Most of them were business matters, and some flatterers came over to give gifts for the Lantern Festival, and also received some nursing homes who came here to work and earn a living. The others were letters from Wang Rongchun, who was in charge of Suzhou affairs, reporting on the progress of various affairs. Apart from these, there is nothing else.
After all, it only took half a month for him to go to Bianjing and back. The affairs of the year before had been arranged well, and he relied on Zhao Ji for business, so there were so many troubles. The reason why he came back in a hurry was because he didn't want to mess around in the right and wrong place in Bianjing. Just like Tong Guan posted a message to him, in fact, during the period when he was in Bianjing, Tong Guan was not the only one, but there were also other high-ranking officials who wanted to win over him. Is wealth and silk very attractive? Several people.
Wang Fusheng talked a lot, looked at the high-ranking official who was drinking water and said, "There is one more thing that I want to let my boss know."
"Um."
"There is Dulonggang near Yangshan Mountain in Jeju. Under the Dulonggang, there is a landowner named Hu, who is quite wealthy. The tenants and guardians in the family can also bring out hundreds of brave men, which is considered a powerful party. The Taigong Hu has a little daughter, who is 6 years old. How old is my little boss? I heard that he is very beautiful..."
The old housekeeper emphasized the emphasis on the word 'very beautiful', which means something profound.
Glancing at Wu Song, who wanted to laugh but was afraid to laugh, the official shook his head and said, "What's the purpose of Uncle Fu telling me this?"
"My boss, it's not that the old servant is meddlesome, but our business has to do with that Hu's family. A few days ago, I met the son of Grand Duke Hu, named Hu Cheng. He said that the younger sister in the family was young and beautiful, and that the boss only had one son. I have a concubine in my house, but I don’t have a real wife, so I deliberately told my sister to my employer.” Wang Fusheng said earnestly: “Later, the old servant sent someone to inquire, and found out that the little girl of the Hu family is indeed beautiful. Although she is not as good as the eldest lady, she is only three points behind. She is an extraordinary person. Fortunately, she is good at martial arts and is used to wielding swords and guns. No one can defeat her. But what Hu Cheng said was concealing something. The daughter of the Hu family is related to Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhu Chaofeng from Zhujiazhuang next door. Seeing that my Wang family is gaining momentum, I am determined to adhere to it.
However, the old servant thought it was okay. If the Dong family had not managed well in recent years, it would have been far-fetched for the Wang family to join the Hu family. Now that the Wang family has a large business, although the Hu family is far behind, they can still be worthy of the Dong family and be the mistress of the Wang family.
This time my boss came to Beijing to meet the emperor, and the old servant thought that with the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver offered by his boss, he could get a marriage from the official. Now it seems that after all, merchants have a low-level business and are not in the eyes of officials, so they talk to their bosses. "
Wang Yan nodded to show his understanding. There are so many people who want to date him, so it is normal for someone to pop up and propose kissing.
But to be honest, he had not considered being the mistress of the house. Because after becoming a mistress, I will be a queen in the future. He doesn't value these very much, but women do. This is artificially creating conflicts, causing discord in the back house and causing trouble for themselves.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Of course, if Zhao Ji grants a marriage, he will not say anything, but to give Zhao Ji face, he is determined to be the consort. But it’s just the consort, not anyone else. This time Zhao Ji didn't grant a marriage, it's not that he looked down on the merchants, he had hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, and the gardens and palaces were built, so how could he look down on them. It's just that Zhao Ji doesn't have a daughter of the right age. His eldest daughter, Princess Jiafu Zhao Yupan, is only thirteen years old this year, so she is obviously not suitable. Otherwise, Zhao Ji would definitely want Wang Daguanren to be his father more than anyone else.
If you point out other ministers or daughters of the clan to Wang Yan, you are actively giving him the opportunity to form a clique. The two elements for making trouble are people and money. Zhao Ji is an emperor with brains, not a fool. How can he do such a thing?
He himself and the officials came closer, but they all avoided them, so how could they find any well-matched ones? And to him, it doesn't matter whether he has a wife or not; having a son to carry on the family business is enough. Even having a son is out of necessity. He doesn't care about that many things, as long as he has a woman...
"Uncle Fu, it doesn't matter if you have a wife or not. Anyway, the son is there. He will carry on the family business, and he will have children in the future. As for this little girl from the Hu family, since she is beautiful and has similar hobbies..." Wang Yan looked at the old housekeeper and said with a smile: "Go and talk to the Hu's family and let her be my concubine."
"Yes, Master." Wang Fusheng nodded in agreement without hesitation. It is his duty to worry about the master's family. Now that the senior officials have said that the main wife does not matter, what else can he say? The right thing to do is to have concubines and have more boys. .
Wang Yan didn't give any more instructions. This old housekeeper was not a kind person and he did things properly. The Hu family definitely agreed, and the Zhu family definitely had no objections. It was just a matter of time.
Seeing that the high official wanted to take a concubine, who was also the daughter of a landlord, Wu Song cupped his hands and said congratulations, and then said: "High official, Wu Song also has something to do."
"explain."
"I went to the state capital a few days ago to report that Dong Ping, the military supervisor, invited me to have a drink. He spoke highly of the high official and wanted to be his lackey."
Dong Ping, nicknamed the Double Spear General, ranked fifteenth in Liangshan, was one of the five tiger generals of the Ma Army, and was also nicknamed Dong Yicheng. His strength was quite sufficient. However, this kid was not a human being. When Song Jiang and Lu Junyi fought for the eldest brother's position, Dong Ping was captured and surrendered. He opened the city gate and Zhu Liangshan's army entered the city to plunder. He also killed the prefect Cheng and took his daughter as his wife. It was quite bad.
Wang Yan looked at Wang Fusheng aside: "This Dong Ping is the military commander of Yunzhou. Have you ever contacted him before?"
"The New Year's gifts have not been left behind. Dong Ping received them all and gave gifts in return. It's just that he seemed unwilling to interact with my Wang family before, and I don't know why he suddenly came to give them."
"It should be because he is a powerful official and has been summoned by me, so he clings to him." Wu Song said, "His martial arts are good. I have fought with him. He fought with me for a long time before he was defeated. He lived up to his reputation." . I told him about the high official’s itinerary, and he has been living in the city for the past few days, waiting for news about the high official.”
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Bring him to see me tomorrow."
"Yes, sir."
"Is there anything else?" Seeing the two men shaking their heads, the official waved his hand: "Then go and do your own business."
After that, he drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and left, turned right when he went out and entered the backyard. It's not good for the house to be too big. There is a garden between the front hall and the main house in the backyard. He walked for a while and then entered the main room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jin Lian holding a child, looking at him with gleaming eyes: "Master..."
Pan Jinlian is talented. She didn't know how to attract men before, but since she became a concubine with a high official, she learned it without any teacher and became proficient in it. She doesn't have many messy sentiments. She just knows what the official likes, so she will do it.
Wang Yan stepped forward and hugged Jin Lian, holding the child in one hand: "We haven't seen each other for half a month, how are you?"
Jin Lian seemed to have no bones, clinging to the official's arms: "Everything is fine, I just miss the official so much in my heart."
After taking the little one that they were playing with, the three of them entered the east room and sat down at the table. Wang Yan smiled and listened to Jin Lian's murmurs. The child was ready to eat, sucked and bit. He made a few more clothes, bought a few pairs of tiger shoes, recognized a few more words, and listened to the little maid read a few books. Books, quite busy. The senior official listened with a smile, and after she finished speaking, he told her about what he had seen in Bianjing. He was a good storyteller, and he spoke plainly, which made Jinlian yearn for it. If your children are older, you should take them to go shopping together.
It was almost evening when I got home, and I listened to the old housekeeper's report, and here I listened to Jin Lian's chatter, and in the blink of an eye there was no sunshine outside.
Realizing that it was getting late, Jin Lian's pretty face was full of spring, and her eyes were sparkling: "The official has been riding hard all the way, and he is covered in dust. I think he is tired. Why don't we eat earlier, and the slave family will wait for the official to take a bath and rest..."
The woman wanted to talk about her thoughts, but no high-ranking official would refuse. She immediately had food and wine served, and the little girl was given to the maid to take care of. The two of them ate and drank lovingly, and then took a bath and washed themselves.
Uh-huh, hey, humming in a melodious voice, it is the endless love that Jinlian cannot express in words...
