Kaifeng City, in front of Fan Zhifu.

Yang Jiong, who had recently been promoted to the official affairs of the Zhongshu Sect, got down from the ox cart with a spring breeze on his face, and as soon as his feet landed, he saw Fan Ming, the chief butler of the Fan Mansion, hurriedly walking towards him.

Yang Jiong had always known that Fan Ming was a calm person, and if something happened to him, he would never be so flustered.

"Big butler, what's wrong?" Yang Jiong arched his hand and asked Fan Ming suspiciously.

Fan Ming came to Yang Jiong's side, deliberately looked inside, and saw that no one was disturbing, so he whispered: "The master of the family has just entered the palace, and he ordered the old slave to stay in front of the mansion and wait for you." ”

Yang Jiong, who was originally a little slack, suddenly perked up, and asked Fan Ming urgently in a low voice: "But something big happened in the eastern country?" ”

Fan Ming shook his head, and subconsciously carefully looked at Yang Jiong's Chinese face, Fan Zhen once privately commented on Yang Jiong, Yang Bo had a strange plan, but he was a little smaller-minded, and he still needed to be carved more to become atmospheric.

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the prime minister, even if there is no one around, it is by no means a place to talk about big things.

Fan Ming pressed down a little dissatisfaction in his heart, accompanied by a smile, and said respectfully: "Don't hide it from Yang Gong, although the old slave has served the master of the family for many years, he is just a villain, and the master of the family never says that the old slave knows about major events in the court." ”

Yang Jiong ate a soft nail from Fan Ming, and suddenly came to his senses, this is not the place to speak, he couldn't help but blush, and thanked him: "Domeng's family mentions, Yang is reckless." ”

Fan Ming nodded secretly, Yang Jiong knew that his mistakes could be corrected, and he would be able to achieve great things in the future, he once again took a deep look and said very sincerely: "The head of the family has instructed Yang Gong to go to the back garden with the old slave to enjoy the scenery and eat snacks." ”

Yang Jiong hesitated a little, the back garden of Fan's Mansion has always been a place for female relatives to gather and play, and he dared to break in with a foreign man, but I am afraid that it is quite inappropriate.

Fan Ming saw Yang Jiong's concerns, so he explained with a smile: "My housewife and little ladies all went to the palace of Huayang County as guests. ”

After Fan Ming's reminder, Yang Jiong immediately remembered that today is the fiftieth birthday of Li Qiong, the original wife of Li Qiong, the king of Huayang County, and the invitation went down to Fan's mansion early.

Since Li Qiong was defeated by Lin Renzhao in the south, the generals and nobles of his department are like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year.

Over the years, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's secret help, not to mention Li Qiong's old subordinates sitting on the cold bench, even Li Qiong's third son Li Hu commanded the errand, I am afraid it would be difficult to protect.

The first emperor Chai Rong was in Japan, although Li Qiong was not reused, the etiquette on the face was also comprehensive. After all, after Li Qiong lost the battle, he was still crowned a prince. In a sense, Chai Rong, the emperor who was born as a salt and tea seller, can be regarded as a person who values friendship.

Yang Jiong pursed his lips, and while keeping up with Fan Ming's footsteps, he commented: "In my opinion, just send a foreign man to mean it, why bother with the master's wife?" Xianggong is really too much to give Li a face. ”

Fan Ming knew in his heart that although Yang Jiong was not a serious disciple of Fan Zhen, he was also a close relationship between teacher and friend, and it was not too much for him to call the master mother of the Fan family his wife.

"The head of the family said, the king of Huayang County and Li Wuyi have a good relationship, let's treat Li Qiong kindly......" Fan Ming's words were not finished, but Yang Jiong already fully understood his unfulfilled meaning.

Yang Jiong smiled and said, "Stabilizing Li Qiong is equivalent to letting Li Zhongyi eat a reassuring pill, the teacher and his old man are really well-intentioned." ”

Maybe it was Yang Jiong's laughter that suddenly became louder, Fan Ming couldn't help frowning, and he once again remembered another comment from Fan Qian: Yang Bo plotted about the overall situation and neglected the details, and sooner or later he would have to plant a head on it.

Alas, this may be the so-called truth that talented people must be proud, Fan Ming reluctantly led Yang Jiong into the back garden.

After watching the tea and sitting down, Fan Ming casually found an excuse to slip away, there was no way, Yang Jiong thought he was smart and always liked to talk about clichés.

Fan Ming, as an old servant beside Fan Qian, knows a lot of confidential matters of the Fan family, but the question is, does he dare to say it?

Last time, Fan Ming inadvertently said something in front of Yang Jiong, but as a result, he was snubbed by Fan Zhen for more than half a year, but fortunately, with the help of his mother, he found a good opportunity to turn around.

What Fan Ming saw and heard after losing power, he could write a hundred and ten chapters, it was simply a difficult book, and the past was unbearable!

Yang Jiong sat alone in the flower pavilion, sipping tea while browsing the beautiful scenery of the back garden.

Before Fan Zhen gained power, he was in Kaifeng City and changed his residence several times. At that time, Fan Zhen was just a minor official from the seventh grade, and he was very honest as an official, so he couldn't afford to buy a house under the roots of the imperial city.

Yang Jiong still clearly remembers that Fan Zhen once said with emotion: It is not easy to live in Kaifeng!

To be honest, Yang Jiong has similar feelings, and Yang Jiong is no less than Fan Qian, until now, he Yang is still renting a private house.

Before Yang Jiong was promoted to the sixth grade of the Zhongshu Sect to inspect the official affairs of the Zhufang, he was just the official of the Wufang Gonggong Hall of the Political Affairs Hall, although the real power is not small, the grade is shockingly low.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and this is only appropriate when put on Li Zhongyi, a greedy copper stinker.

Then, Fan Zhen and Yang Jiong favored power, and looked down on wealth, in terms of honesty, the two of them killed Li Wujiao, who plucked the goose in seconds.

In fact, Li Zhongyi was privately called a copper stinker, but it was actually from Yang Jiong's handwriting, and his purpose was extremely clear, and he made Li Zhongyi's reputation stinky among scholars and the people.

Li Zhongyi may know that it was a good thing that Yang Jiong did secretly, but he was not affected at all on the surface, and he was not careful to deliberately grind him when he saw Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong actually knows quite a bit in his heart, the entire scholar class of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very unkind to see Li Zhongyi, and correspondingly, Li Zhongyi obviously does not take the scholars and doctors seriously.

When Li Zhongyi was in Kaifeng, there were some messages about Li Zhongyi from time to time in the world, most of which were some deviant words that were deeply hated by scholars.

Among them, what annoyed Yang Jiong the most was that Li Zhongyi actually said that craftsmen might be able to be officials.

Nima, lowly craftsmen can enter the hall and sit down with the important ministers of the court and discuss the Tao, doesn't it negate the ten years of hard study and the hardships of the imperial examination?

The more Yang Jiong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but think of the past when he went north to ask Li Zhongyi to rescue King Wei, and he was even more angry.

Putting aside Yang Jiong's secret envy, jealousy and hatred for Li Zhongyi, at this moment, in the palace of Huayang County, there are lights everywhere, wearing red and green.

In Li Qiniang's boudoir, Li Anguo was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he sighed for a while, and persuaded his sister with a sad face: "Qiniang, your mother called you over, but you refused to live or die, why is this?" Good sister, you just listen to my brother this time, go out and show your face, and we'll be back soon, okay? ”

"You love to go, you go, and you say I'm sick, very sick, and dying." Li Qiniang didn't look at Li Anguo at all, she flicked her sleeves lightly, walked to the window by herself, looked at the dark east, and was alone.

Li Anguo sighed heavily, Li Qiniang was suffering from heart disease and needed heart medicine. However, Li Qiniang is growing up day by day, it's time to talk about her in-laws, Li Qiong and her mother Zhou are worried about this matter.

According to the law of the Great Zhou, a woman can marry when she reaches the age of fifteen. Li Qiniang is almost eighteen years old, and she still hasn't decided on her in-laws, but she can make Zhou's head white.

The source of the matter actually came from Li Qiong's promise, Comrade Li promised Li Qiniang that she would choose her own son-in-law, and whoever she chose was whoever she chose, and no one in the family was allowed to interfere.

However, after Li Qiniang got the sword of Shang Fang, she had no intention of choosing a son-in-law at all, and ate and drank all day long, playing everywhere. Many young talents painstakingly arranged by the Zhou family were not put in Li Qiniang's eyes at all, even if they reluctantly participated in the blind date, that is, they sent the man away in a few words.

came and went like this, and the son-in-law was not chosen, which made Li Qiniang's own reputation stink. It is rumored outside that although Li Qiniang looks like a fairy, she is unusually arrogant and domineering, and there is no one in her eyes.

Li Anguo felt that it was extremely tricky, and his mother Zhou gave a strict order, if he couldn't persuade his sister to come out on a blind date, all the expenses of the future cockfighting and the dog and the eagle would be completely frozen.

However, no one knows Li Qiniang's heart disease better than Li Anguo, isn't it just that he has been thinking about Li Zhongyi, the stinky man who already has a wife?

If, Li Zhongyi marries Li Qiniang as the main room, not to mention Li Qiong herself, even if it is the Zhou family, unless the brain is convulsive, who will object?

But the problem is that although the Huayang County Royal Mansion relied on Li Zhongyi's support, it barely maintained the prestige of the palace, and sending a concubine to someone else as a concubine was a scandalous thing with a very bad reputation after all.

"My good sister, you are a person who understands, you should be able to figure it out. I think that at the beginning, in order to keep the family business, my grandfather endured humiliation and burden, and he did come to the door to mention the intention of sending you over to be a concubine. However, people respected our family, but they didn't agree, and refused on the spot. Li Anguo sighed again and again, "Now, things have changed, even if your grandfather loves you again, how can you open that mouth?" Our family is the county king's mansion, so we have to save some face for ourselves, right? ”

"Big brother, don't say it." Li Qiniang turned her head indifferently, pursed her red lips, and said resolutely, "I have already made up my mind, and after the New Year, I will go to Guanli to be a sister-in-law, guard the green lantern ancient Buddha, and live a leisurely life, without recruiting anyone or messing with anyone, this is finally done, right?" ”

Li Anguo knows Li Qiniang's temper and temperament very well, she is different from him, she is really the master who does what she says and is unambiguous.

For a while, the two brothers and sisters in the room formed an extremely embarrassing stalemate, and the atmosphere immediately cooled down. Seeing that the situation was not good, the slaves and maids of the subordinates smeared oil on the soles of their feet one after another, and slipped away, so as not to provoke Mars.

Just when Li Anguo was so anxious that he was sweating, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from outside the window, "Sister Qi Niang, I will accompany you to practice in the Taoist temple." ”
