The prince returned home with a full load on Friday and was very satisfied. Before leaving, he praised Pei Heng profusely.
Zhang Hedi thought that Pei Heng was a meritorious official and specially rewarded him with a lot of priceless goodies. However, he heard that Pei Heng didn't want anything, so he asked Zhang Hedi for a small box.
There are two boxes the size of fists, and I don’t know what’s inside.
"What is it?" Qingxing also heard about it and asked Fubai curiously.
Fubai shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Your governor treats money like dung, and he doesn't want priceless treasures." Qing Xing sighed: "Unless the box contains a jade seal, it won't be worth it."
"Qingxing, be careful what you say!" Xu Wanning put down her pen and scolded.
If Qing Xing's words were spread, it would be a serious crime of beheading.
Zhang Hedi sent a jade seal to Pei Heng?
To be blunt, let's just say that Zhang Hedi gave the throne to Pei Heng, and Pei Heng was also guilty of beheading.
Xu Wanning rarely speaks seriously. If she does, it means the situation is serious!
Qingxing stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Hongmei also understood the seriousness of these words and pulled Qingxing.
"You can't say this anymore. If it spreads, your life will be lost if you don't say it, and it will also harm Mr. Pei."
Her words made Qing Xing pale with fright.
Seeing her ugly face, Xu Wanning comforted her, "There are many eyes and ears at the emperor's feet. I can't say this anymore, lest I get into trouble."
Qingxing nodded repeatedly, "Miss, I know, I won't say anything anymore."
Fubai glanced at Qingxing and went out.
When he reappeared, there were two secret guards of the Jinlin Guard beside him.
"Don't remember what you just said."
"But the Governor said..." one of the secret guards said, "Everyone's disrespectful words must be remembered."
Fu Bai glanced at him and sneered, "What are you here for? Didn't the governor remind you before you came? If you want to die, just remember it. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."
"Can……"
Another secret guard pulled his sleeve and shook his head. The secret guard stopped talking.
Fu Bai left.
"You must remember everything the governor says. If you don't remember..." the secret guard also resolutely followed Pei Heng's orders.
"Don't forget, the governor didn't ask us to supervise Miss Xu. The governor sent us to secretly protect Miss Xu." Another secret guard said, "It is our duty to protect Miss Xu. If you take this job After reporting it, what do you think the governor will do to us?"
After hearing this, the secret guard immediately tore up the book he had just recorded into pieces, threw it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
In the study.
Xu Ting'an and Xu Chang'an did not need to go to school today. They gathered around Xu Wanning and made tea with her.
After drinking two drinks, Xu Ting'an said boredly: "Sister, would you like to take us out to play? I heard from my classmates in school that several lambs, piglets, and peacocks have recently come to Yuanxinju in the suburbs. , can you take us to have fun?"
Yuan Xin Ju is a village in the suburbs. It is similar to a restaurant in that it can both eat and stay. The key is that it is located in the suburbs and covers a large area. In order to attract customers, it often buys some small animals to attract children's interest.
When children want to play, adults have to take them with them.
Xu Wanning is naturally willing to take her children out to play.
I have never played in Chang'an in my previous life or now.
"Okay, let's go then." Xu Wanning immediately agreed: "How about we stay there for one night? The countryside has a nice environment. You can play as long as you want, okay?"
"Okay, okay." The two brothers jumped up excitedly.
Xu Wanning was also very excited. She hadn't had a good game in a long time. "But I have to tell my mother so they don't worry."
As soon as I heard that I was going out to play, the whole Lihuayuan was in a state of shock.
Qingxing and Ji Xiangle immediately went to prepare, Fubai and Chen Wang also went to harness the horses, and Xu Wanning took her two brothers to Lu's.
When Mrs. Lu heard that they were going to play outside for a day and night, she was a little worried, but looking at the children's passionate and excited eyes, Mrs. Lu took back her words.
"Bring a few more people with you. Bring the white pigeons and white birds with you. They know kung fu, so you can feel safe taking them with you."
Xu Wanning did not object.
After a cup of tea, the people in Lihuayuan went out en masse.
Two carriages were dispatched together. Xu Wanning and her children were sitting in the rear carriage, Fu Bai was driving the carriage, and Chen Wang was driving the front carriage. A group of people walked toward the city gate in a mighty manner.
To go to the city gate, you have to pass through the main street. The road is crowded with people, and a carriage is coming from the opposite direction. The two carriages interact with each other at a very slow speed.
The carriage passed by Fengmingxuan. There were many carriages parked in front of Fengmingxuan. Fubai was even more cautious when driving the carriage.
Today is the beginning of the month, and Fengmingxuan releases new products. Naturally, many ladies rush to make reservations, fearing that the new products will be snatched away by others.
Among the carriages, there was one carriage that was particularly eye-catching, large and luxurious.
Fubai said: "That is the carriage of the Duke of Zhen, and the carriage of the Duke's wife."
It was Yan's carriage before, but now it is Yuan's carriage.
At this time, in Fengmingxuan, a group of luxuriously dressed women were drinking tea and chatting together.
Mrs. Yuan sat in the middle, arrogant and arrogant, enjoying the flattery and flattery of those noble ladies. Next to her, Ms. Yan stood with her head lowered and said nothing.
Yuan looked at the two ladies closest to her, pursed her lips and smiled, her meaning self-evident.
One of the ladies came over immediately, and when she walked to Yuanshi, she suddenly bumped into Yanshi accidentally.
The maid next to her immediately supported her, "Madam, are you okay?"
The lady's face was livid, and she scolded: "You wretch, you don't keep your eyes open when you go out. Didn't you see me coming? You won't even give way, and a dog knows how to let people go!"
Mrs. Yan raised her head and glanced at the lady in confusion.
As soon as she raised her head, everyone else who knew the Yan family took a breath, and when they looked at the Yuan family watching the show, they all understood.
"Sister, don't be angry. This grandma is old and her brain is not working well." Another lady came over to comfort her.
Yuan asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the looks between you two? This is my sister-in-law, where is the mama?"
She brought Yan out specially today just to let everyone see that she was the wife of the Duke of Guo. Yan, who used to be the focus of attention, had become a despicable thing that was not even worthy of being her nanny.
"Ah, it's the eldest lady?" One of the ladies said something to apologize, but her eyes were arrogant and contemptuous, and she didn't mean to apologize at all: "I'm really sorry, I admitted my mistake, I thought it was a dog without eyes. Where’s the old dog?”
"If the Duke's wife hadn't said it, I would have thought she was a nun." Another lady beside me also laughed and said, "You can't blame us for being dressed in such a rustic style and mistaking the person!" "
The one who sang along was the wife of a minor official in Kyoto. When Yuan was not the Duke's wife at that time, she finally got involved. Now that she is the Duke's wife, the two wives are following Yuan's lead.
Seeing her bring Yan out now, Yan was mortified. He immediately understood what Yuan meant and started mocking her in front of everyone.
As for the other ladies, most of them just happened to meet by chance, because at the beginning of today, it is the new day of Fengmingxuan. Many ladies will come here to buy new jewelry. They are not specially invited by the Yuan family.
Hearing the two ladies humiliating the Yan family and knowing Yuan's intention, no one dared to agree with them.
Mrs. Yan is indeed not the Duke's wife now, but a poor woman whose man died, occupying the title of the First Lady of the Duke's Palace. I heard that she is still a little delirious. She is indeed a clay figurine who can be manipulated by others.
But they didn't forget that Yan, a clay figurine, also had a son that no one dared to offend.
