Duting Posthouse was the posthouse where the Southern Song Dynasty court received envoys from the northern countries. To the west is Dutingyi Bridge and to the east is Yu Street. As for Wu Mansion, it is located to the east of Dutingyi Bridge. It has a lot of land, but it is quiet in the bustle, and it is difficult to see the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Street.
Standing in front of Wu Mansion, there were several sedan chairs and two or three horses parked in the street. The high wall of the red gate in front of me seems to be magnificent, but the weeds on the top of the wall, the white lanterns under the eaves, and the many spider webs cannot hide the slight decay.
The Wu family was as noble as Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, and Empress Wu. Since the current empress Yang Guizhi was raised by Empress Wu, in order to repay Empress Wu for her kindness in raising her, Yang Guizhi showed great favor to the Wu family. Even the marriage between Zhao Hong and the Wu family was brokered by Yang Guizhi and Empress Yang.
For some reason, Zhao Hong remembered the sentence "There are wild grasses and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, and the setting sun is setting at the entrance of Wuyi Alley."
Those who treat others with sex will lose their love and love, and love and love will end their kindness.
The fate of the maternal relatives has the same meaning as Mrs. Li's words. What's more, the Song Dynasty did not have any relatives like the Han Dynasty.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing that it was Zhao Hong who was coming, the servant at the door was stunned, and then he ushered Zhao Hong in politely.
After all, this man is still a prince and nominally the uncle of the Wu family.
"Zhao Hong, why are you here?"
A group of dandy boys who were laughing in the courtyard fell silent, and a young man in his twenties asked impatiently.
At first glance, the man looked somewhat similar to his bodyguard Li Tang, except that his complexion was much fairer, his eye circles were dark, his face was a bit swollen, and he typically stayed up too late and drank too much.
"Uncle."
Li Tang's warning sound was as quiet as the chirping of mosquitoes.
"Brother, during the New Year's Eve festival, I came to see Yingying and take her back home."
Zhao Hong said with a smile on his face against his will.
It turns out that this is Wu Feng, the eldest brother of his wife Wu Yingying, and also his brother-in-law. According to the information he received, this man was a well-known rich and powerful libertine in Lin'an City.
He and Wu Yingying had a falling out. This uncle had brought people to trouble him several times, causing uproar in Lin'an City. Later he disappeared, but I don’t know why.
"Take Yingying home? Are you pitying my Wu family?"
Wu Feng sneered, then rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Hong and punched him.
"Go back and pamper your women! You ruthless bastard, Yingying has been harmed by you! I will kill you!"
This lecherous bigot, he also knows how to admit his mistake?
I was caught off guard, but fortunately I managed to avoid it in time. I was hit on the shoulder and felt a faint pain. Wu Feng had an angry look on his face and wanted to step forward, but the dudes on the side quickly grabbed him.
"Forget it, forget it, what's the point of yelling at him!"
"He just has a donkey temper. Why are you so anxious with him?"
Wu Feng was grabbed by the dudes. He was still angry and refused to give up, and wanted to rush forward.
"Brother, don't be angry. As the saying goes, a couple lives together at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. I will drive those women away when I get back, so don't worry!"
Zhao Hong was startled, but still had a smile on his face.
This Wu Feng is fiery and stands up for his sister, so he is a good big brother.
"What the hell are you talking about? Let's get rid of those women of yours first!"
Wu Feng finally calmed down a bit and was let go by the dudes, waving his hands impatiently.
"Go away! You are not welcome here! If you don't leave, don't blame me for falling out!"
He didn't know where his sister was. Even if he knew it, he would not let his sister have anything to do with Zhao Hong again.
Everyone knows that this guy is a heartless bastard, and it would be better to cut him off.
"Mr. Ji Guo, it's better to go back. Anyway, there are many women around you."
"Your Highness, it's so peaceful to play the piano and play with women. It's better to go back quickly and don't be embarrassed here."
Several dandy boys from Lin'an City next to Wu Feng also mocked Zhao Hong.
"Brother, where are my father-in-law and mother-in-law? Please let me meet them."
Zhao Hong lowered his voice and begged Wu Feng.
Even Wu Feng and these guys dared to be so disrespectful to him. It seemed that he, the prince, was indeed in a worrying situation. In history, being "changed from a civet cat to a prince" is not unfair at all.
Yang Guizhi was raised in the palace by Empress Wu of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty since he was a child. He was grateful to Empress Wu, loved his house and Wu family, and took great care of the Wu family. Yang Guizhi's niece married his father-in-law Wu Nian, and Wu Nian's daughter Wu Yingying was married to him.
He had a falling out with Wu Yingying, the queen's nephew and grandnephew. The Wu family was very dissatisfied with him, and Yang Guizhi's attitude could also be seen from this.
This is really a careless move that will make you countless enemies!
What did this idiot Zhao Hong do? Those with low IQs are really pitiful!
"Zhao Hong, take your things and get out of here, my parents won't see you!"
Wu Feng stepped forward impatiently and pushed Zhao Hong.
"Brother, let me see my father-in-law and my mother-in-law, and let me apologize to them face to face!"
Zhao Hong pretended to shout loudly while being pushed out.
"Come on, let's stop the ghost howling!"
Wu Feng got angry and kicked him again, but Zhao Hong quickly dodged it. The other dudes quickly persuaded Wu Feng to go back.
Zhao Hong was pushed out by the dandies, and the gifts he brought were thrown on the floor, and the door of Wu Mansion was closed tightly.
"Li Tang, pick up the things and go back and divide them among the brothers."
Zhao Hong had a sad face and looked listless, but he started to howl.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please let me see Yingying! I know I was wrong!"
Several wealthy women watching the excitement at the entrance of the house pointed at Zhao Hong and whispered, seeing that there was no excitement to see, they reluctantly left.
Li Tang picked up the things, confused.
Looking at Zhao Hong's sad face, could it be said that he really wants his wife to come back?
"Li Tang, go back and help me with something."
Zhao Hong suddenly stopped and explained to Li Tang.
"Just what His Highness ordered!"
"That's right, help me tomorrow..."
Zhao Hong thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"Forget it! We'll talk about these things later!"
Zhao Hong stepped forward, still hesitant in his heart.
Once rumors spread and faces are broken, some relationships may become irreconcilable.
Moreover, he was also confused as to what stupid thing he had done that made people and gods angry, so that Wu Mansion could not tolerate him?
In the lobby of the Wu Mansion, Zhao Hong's father-in-law, Wu Nian, Prince of Yongyang County, and his wife Wu Yangshi sat opposite each other, and they were silent for a while.
They didn't expect that their uncle Zhao Hong would actually come looking for their daughter.
Now that her daughter is not here, she can only push her away again and again, looking for reasons not to let Zhao Hong see her daughter.
"Dad, Mom, do you really not see that bastard?"
Wu Feng walked in and lazily broke the deadlock.
"Zhao Hong has left?"
Mother Wu looked at the front yard and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Leave! Throw away the things!"
Wu Feng said disdainfully. He looked at his parents and spoke casually.
"Dad, get me 200 bucks. I need to use it when I go out!"
"200 dollars! What do you want to do?"
Wu Nian was taken aback. 200 yuan, this is the income of ordinary people for several years.
This bastard, he spends his days and nights, what a waste of money!
"Dalang, 200 guan at once, why do you use so much money?"
Mother Wu also asked in surprise.
"On New Year's Eve, it costs money to go out to eat, drink or have sex. Give it to me quickly!"
Wu Feng looked outside, looking a little impatient.
"No! Do you think dad is the God of Wealth?"
Wu Nian flatly refused and grimaced.
"Do you think our Wu family is still the same as before? Since the death of the Empress Dowager, the family has been in decline! If the queen hadn't missed the old love and often gave some rewards, the little money in the family wouldn't be enough for you?"
"Give it or not? If not, I'll cut off your finger!"
His father's words fell on deaf ears. Wu Feng took out a bright dagger from his waist and placed his left hand on the table. He put the dagger on his little finger and saw blood oozing from it.
"Okay, okay! Here you go! My little ancestor, you must not do anything wrong!"
Wu's mother suddenly panicked and ran to her son's side to urge her husband.
"Official, please hurry up and get the money!"
"Wu Liang, take Yanei to the accounting office and get him 200 coins."
Wu Nian was downcast and weak, and waved his hand.
"Wu Liang, get money from Yanei! Hurry!"
Mother Wu's face was full of anxiety and she stamped her feet to urge her.
"Ya Nei, I'll take you there!"
Wu Liang nodded and bowed. Wu Feng put away the knife and followed Wu Liang away without a care in the world.
"What sins have I committed in my past life! A devil incarnate and an unruly woman..."
Wu Nian sighed, with a sad look on his face.
"Master, what are you talking about? It wasn't Zhao Hong who was at fault first, so Yingying..."
Mother Wu glanced at the door nervously and quickly closed the door.
"Official, how can you say this kind of thing casually? If outsiders find out, will our Wu family still have the dignity to stay in Lin'an City?"
"Madam, you can't wrap up the fire, and you can't hide this kind of thing! More than one person in Lin'an City saw Yingying in Jinling City, and even the queen knew about it. This is really unfortunate for the family, unfortunate for the family! "
Wu Nian sighed, his face still filled with sadness.
"Officer, Zhao Hong is still in the dark about this matter. How about letting Zhao Hong write a letter of divorce and divorce Yingying. In this case, no one will care about Yingying's things."
Mother Wu whispered, her eyes shining.
"Madam, this is a solution!"
Wu Nian's eyes also lit up.
"I just don't know if Zhao Hong is willing? That guy has a bad temper!"
This kind of thing is painful for both parties. If it is resolved privately, everyone will be relaxed.
Mother Wu's face was filled with regret.
"If I had known earlier, I would have kept him just now!"
"Not today, today is not a good time to talk about this!"
Wu Nian shook his head and said thoughtfully.
"I'll go talk to him in a few days. There should be no problem. The key is the Queen's side. I'm afraid you have to go and have a good talk. After all, Yingying's marriage was arranged by her alone!"
Queen Yang is their barrier. Anyone in the Song Dynasty can be offended, but Queen Yang cannot be offended.
"Zhao Hong is the prince. If he and Yingying break off their engagement, there won't be any trouble with the official family and Zongzheng Temple, right?"
Mother Wu became worried again.
"As long as the Queen opens her mouth, the officials and Zongzheng Temple will not stand in the way. Plus Zhao Hong's divorce letter, when the time comes we can go and beg the Queen, and everything will be fine!"
Yang Guizhi hates Zhao Hong deeply. The Wu Mansion has given up, and Yang Guizhi will never stop him.
"That's all we have now. It's a blessing in disguise. Zhao Hong has offended Shi Miyuan and the Queen. Who knows if he can still ascend to the throne? It would be a good thing for the Wu family to break up with him as soon as possible!"
After Wu's mother finished speaking, she felt relieved.
Zhao Hong wants to fend for himself, and there is no need for the Wu Mansion to sink with him. Separate the relationship earlier and get rid of it earlier.
"It's amazing that that heartless idiot can board it!"
Wu Nian sneered, and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"He has no brains at all! He is just a muscle and has a dull head! In my opinion, that Zhao Guicheng can most likely be the emperor! Didn't the tabloids say it all? He was born with an abnormality and is destined to be the emperor."
"Officer, keep your voice down, don't let others hear it!"
Wu's mother quickly persuaded her husband.
After all, Zhao Hong is still a prince now, and maybe he will be a prince or even the emperor of the Song Dynasty in the future.
"What are you afraid of? You don't know what you are about. Let me tell you, the queen looks down upon Zhao Hong! She still wants to be the prince and the emperor, so go ahead and dream of his spring and autumn dream!"
Wu Nian sneered, as if he had seen Zhao Hong's ending.
"It seems like this, Zhao Hong and Yingying's matter can't be delayed any longer! Officer, you have to hurry up!"
Mother Wu became anxious again.
"I know! After a few days, I will go find him. Also, as for Yingying, please tell her to calm down, persuade her to come back quickly, and get this matter over with. To avoid long nights and dreams!"
Wu Nian was serious and told his wife.
"Even if we cut off the relationship with Zhao Hong, what will Yingying do in the future? What will Feng'er do in the future?"
Mother Wu became worried again.
"Why do you care so much? Most of you and I will be buried in the ground, who knows how many years we can live? When the time comes, just kick off your feet and everything will be over!"
Wu Nian smiled bitterly again, feeling discouraged unconsciously.
The couple stopped talking, and the hall fell into silence for a while.
