The morning breeze supports the dew, and the autumn breeze brings refreshment.
Within a few days, Zhang Yuhang kept shuttling back and forth between Jian Tiansi and the Hou Mansion, carefully planning every detail and step to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After Xiao Ma learned that he would be leaving soon, in addition to busying himself with his own affairs these days, he also paid more attention to various places in the world and planned his own arrangements.
The old lady sincerely prayed for blessings in the house, copied the Great Compassion Mantra, and ordered the entire Hou Mansion to abstain from eating meat and fish. Even when Liu Ping arrived at the Hou Mansion, he was sent away by the old lady for this reason. He never even saw him, let alone anything else. .
Liu Ping came all the way to Kyoto and received such a snub. However, after knowing that the old lady was praying for His Majesty to copy the Great Compassion Mantra, he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. He just put all his plans forward. Pushed.
In the room, Liu Ping and Zhang Yuhang sat looking at each other, with Xue Fang waiting on them.
"Yuhang, if you don't say anything else, if you take the initiative to report this to me, I won't treat you badly in the future."
Liu Ping is nearly middle-aged and has gained a lot of weight. Perhaps it is because he has been a county magistrate in his hometown all year round, or because he considers himself Zhang Yuhang's elder, so he appears to be particularly proactive when speaking to enhance his prestige. .
"I have also heard from Madam about everything that happened in the Hou Mansion these days. Thanks to your overt and covert help, otherwise I don't know how the old woman would have made things difficult for us."
Zhang Yuhang didn't pay attention and just looked at Xue Fang aside.
Thank me?
You really should be grateful. I have done a lot to take good care of your wife.
"Uncle, you're welcome. You and I each get what we need. We only have the same interests when we cooperate. I hope that uncle will not forget your promise in the future, then I will be satisfied."
Liu Ping waved his hand: "Don't worry, when this matter is finalized, I will give you an explanation for the matter between you and Liu Shirui. If you want to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion, then I will give you a concubine and marry another one." Fertile.
If you don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion anymore, then I will make the decision and give you freedom to make peace with Liu Shirui. You can leave the Hou Mansion and be rich and prosperous. I will give you nothing less. "
This is just painting the cake. What is Zhang Yuhang's identity? He is the son of the Marquis of Yongchang. Can he, a small county magistrate, decide on the marriage between the two Marquises?
It's just that Zhang Yuhang was just making excuses with him, and he didn't tell him when he saw through it.
At that moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, that's enough. I'm used to being in the Marquis Mansion. When things are done in the future, it's enough to have a woman I like by my side who can give me children.
To be honest, if the old lady and the others hadn't lied to me in this matter, I wouldn't have done this. Moreover, how could a picked-up child be qualified to inherit the position of marquis without the blood of our marquis? Go out, isn't that ridiculous? "
Hearing this, Liu Ping slapped his thigh suddenly: "Who says it's not the case? If this child is born to you and Shi Rui, Yuhang, and he inherits the title of Marquis, then I will have nothing to say to my uncle. After all, it is a matter of course.
But as you said, what qualifications does a bitch of unknown origin have to inherit the title of Marquis? How can such a bitch enjoy the title that my eldest brother fought for with his life and the witness of the glory of my Liu family?
You tell me, does the old lady have any serious illness? She just looks down on me. How can she fool around such a big thing as bloodline inheritance? In doing so, where will the majesty of my Liu family be put? Where is the reputation? "
"Uncle, don't worry. Since we have started planning this matter, we will never let them succeed. Otherwise, once Liu Ziheng grows up and knows that we have plotted this matter, do you think that by that time, he will grow up and think of it?" Is there any good outcome for us in this matter?"
Zhang Yuhang continued to confuse. After all, what he said now were facts on the surface. Whether it was true or false, everyone had an answer in their hearts.
Liu Ping immediately patted his chest and assured: "I naturally know the risks involved. If I dare to come, it means that I have been prepared for it.
But now, I really don’t know how to start. Even if the two clan elders are on my side, if the old lady is determined to have Liu Ziheng inherit the Marquis, this is her territory after all, and I’m afraid that too many changes will happen. , please ask Yuhang to teach me how to deal with it. "
Liu Ping knew that Zhang Yuhang had lived in this Marquis Mansion for many years, and his judgment on the current situation and control over the difficulty of this matter must be much better than his own.
Now they are allies on the same front. If you have any questions, just ask him.
Zhang Yuhang said with a smile: "How much silver did my uncle bring when he came to Beijing this time?"
"Silver, 150,000 taels."
Zhang Yuhang raised his eyebrows, this really surprised him.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not too surprising.
After three years of clearing the magistrate's office, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
This is not a simple joke, but a very realistic portrayal.
The people in the world are poor, and many people can't even afford food. However, these officials, the children of aristocratic families, and the powerful country squires are definitely not short of money. They are all extremely rich.
My uncle is not idle in his hometown, so there are naturally no shortage of ways to make a fortune.
"This time, I took all my property, sold what I could sell, mortgaged what I could mortgage, exchanged it for banknotes, and took it all over.
After all, we are planning for the position of Marquis, and there will definitely be no shortage of money to spend. I have prepared everything for you and Yuhang, so you can rest assured. "
Liu Ping knew that he had no foundation in Kyoto, and the only thing he could rely on was Liu's sign. But what's the use of just having a sign? You can't spend money on anything, and you can't manage it.
So for the future of his son, he also spent a lot of money. After all, if it succeeds this time, he will not have to worry about having no money in the future.
Zhang Yuhang nodded and said: "Do you know that apart from praying for His Majesty and copying the Great Compassion Mantra, is the old lady preparing anything lately?"
"I don't know, please tell me my wise son-in-law."
"Liu Li, the old lady ordered me to find some fine Liu Li objects and present them to Your Majesty.
Think about it, if you can strike first, not only will the old lady be unable to get the best glass objects, but also when His Majesty has a birthday, if you take out such treasures, wouldn't it be a great honor in front of His Majesty? Even if he showed his face, he could still suppress the old lady's arrogance.
What do you want Your Majesty to think if you, a county magistrate, bring out something that cannot be obtained from the Hehe Marquis' Mansion, and it is also from the Xingyong Marquis' Mansion? Is it because the Hou family doesn't care about his birthday, or are you, the only male in the Hou family, more respectful of His Majesty's majesty? "
