Regarding his wife's questioning, Yao Shiheng was reluctant to express his distress. He looked at it and said with hatred: "Where did Xia Ju go, how dare she leave her wife and not serve by her side, does she want to taste the Yao family's family law?" ”

After Shen Rong noticed that there was no one near the left in front of the hall, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and suddenly slapped the table, "pop". Yao Shiheng's originally somewhat straight body suddenly bent down, and there were no words in his mouth.

"Who are you showing your tantrum to? In the past two days, I have seen that you have been disobedient all day long, looking like you have six gods and no owner, have you caused some romantic debts outside? You shouldn't have made the same mistakes in Fujian again, right? Shen Rong raised a pair of willow eyebrows and reprimanded her husband.

Yao Shiheng subconsciously leaned back, trying to avoid his wife's roar. His wife was born in the Xin'an clan in Jiangxi, and later a house in his clan took root in Suzhou, and there have been three generations of his wife's generation.

Compared with the Yao family, the Su family is a real gentleman's family. Shen Rong is not only the daughter of the master, but her family background is higher than her own family. Therefore, Yao Shiheng always felt a little uncomfortable in front of this lady.

When he was an official in Fujian, he left Shen Rong at home in Yunjian to serve his parents. Yao Shiheng didn't care about political affairs in Pucheng, so he let the county and local officials take power, and let a few people manipulate county affairs to reap a lot of benefits.

Under the total, those people simply spent 300 gold to buy a third-class Yangzhou thin horse to take care of the idle county magistrate's life in the local area, so that he was addicted to the arms of the mellow beauty and no longer remembered the county affairs.

The so-called Yangzhou thin horse is a new industry that appeared in the local area after the rise of Yangzhou salt merchants. In order to cater to the interest of these wealthy salt merchants, some treacherous people selected good-looking girls from poor families to buy them back and study them, taught them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sold them as concubines to the rich or entered the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion when they grew up, so as to make a profit.

After the girl was bought, the first-class qualified girl taught "playing the piano and blowing the flute, chanting and writing, painting and Go, playing backgammon, wiping dominoes, and all kinds of lewd tricks", as well as fine makeup skills and physical training.

Girls with second-class qualifications can also read and play dot songs, but they are mainly trained to be financial and accounting talents, know how to keep accounts, so as to assist businessmen and become a dual-purpose secretary in life and career.

Girls with third-class qualifications are not allowed to read and write, but only learn some female celebrity, tailoring, or "frying and steaming cakes, cooking food, arranging fruits, and each with their own crafts", and are trained to serve people as servants.

After Yao Shiheng got this Yangzhou thin horse, he was even more happy and had no intention of political affairs. Compared with his beautiful wife, this concubine from Yangzhou who was born in a thin horse knows how to be gentle and win his favor.

However, paper can't contain fire after all, and after Shen Rong heard the news, she cried to her in-laws and wrote to her father for help.

Later, Yao Shiheng was promoted to Beijing and became a Zhejiang Provincial Inspector Imperial History, and the empathetic Yangzhou thin horse was also sold out at his father's suggestion.

This time, Yao Shiheng's original respect for his wife has increased his fear, and Shen Rong has changed from the cold and beautiful appearance of everyone in the past, and has become a young woman with a pungent personality.

But because of this, Yao Shiheng was even more reluctant to tell Shen Rong about his predicament, lest his husband tell his father and brother while his husband was happy, which would make him even more shameless.

But now that Shen Rong is pressing step by step, he really can't find a way to solve the dilemma, so he can't help but make a confession to his wife.

After understanding that Yao Shiheng was not a recurrence of his old illness, he sighed and worried there, but Shen Rong went to the nameless fire in his heart.

As for whether Yao Shiheng can be the superintendent of the imperial history, and whether there is any development in his career, in fact, Shen Rong doesn't care at all.

Her father is Qinggui Hanlin, and her brother is also from Jinshi. She grew up in Suzhou, the most prosperous city in the world, and lived a rich and leisurely life all her life.

In Shen Rong's view, Beijing, which is full of wind and sand in summer and cold and biting in winter, has a pleasant climate and a prosperous and beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River to raise people.

If she had followed her wishes, Yao Shiheng would have abandoned this rich and responsible inspector of the imperial history early, and would be more satisfied to go back to Suzhou with her to be a rich idler.

However, Shen Rong also knows that her husband is the hope of the Yao family, if she really asks her husband to resign and return to her hometown and become a scholar with an idle crown, I am afraid that the first person who refuses to take a break with her is her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

I watched my husband look at him expectantly, as if he was waiting for her to come up with something. Shen Rong couldn't help but shirk and said: "The concubine still thinks that the husband has encountered some trouble, it turns out that it is an official matter in the court, this kind of court matter, the concubine is a woman's family, how can I give you any ideas, or the husband himself will make up his mind." ”

Yao Shiheng was a little dumbfounded, since he was forced by his wife to tell the truth, he naturally expected his wife to give him an idea. However, when the lady heard this, she wondered what was going on to leave.

Yao Shiheng was in a hurry, grabbed Shen Rong's soft and boneless little hand and said: "The so-called husband and wife are concentric, and their benefits are golden. I didn't want to embarrass you, Mrs., but although Lord Taishan has retired and returned to his hometown, Lord Taishan has served in the capital for many years, can you ask Lord Taishan to ask me to help me think of a way to transfer me from the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, so as not to be humiliated by the remnants of the eunuch party. ”

was grabbed by Yao Shiheng's hand, although there was no one near him, it also made Shen Rong feel a little shy. But then Yao Shiheng's words suddenly broke this charming atmosphere.

Shen Ronghuo pulled out his hand from Yao Shiheng's hand, and replied angrily: "Father, I tried hard to drop my husband from other places into the capital, did my husband think that it didn't cost favors?" This favor is used once, less once. The concubine's brother served in Jiangxi, and his father didn't use many joints. Now that he has used all his favors on his husband, how can the concubine brother open his mouth to others when he encounters problems in the future? This matter, the husband should find a way to solve it by himself, and leave the idea of beating the concubine. ”

Shen Rong was about to get up and leave, but when she saw the gloomy look in Yao Shiheng's eyes, she couldn't help but feel weak in her heart.

She suddenly remembered something, so she spoke: "Didn't Your Majesty say that you want to eliminate the Taoist officials who have no achievements and will only tilt each other? So if the husband does something big, won't he have it? ”

Yao Shiheng glanced at his wife, and said with a sigh: "It's not easy to talk about, a while ago, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party were vying for power and profit in the DPRK and China, and the affairs of the two parties that could impeach each other have long been impeached. Although I am the imperial history of Zhejiang Province, I am not familiar with the local officials in Zhejiang, so how to make a big deal at this time. ”

"This Your Majesty is really a little bit of a thing, the first emperor didn't track it down, how could he be so unconventional as soon as he came to power, it's really too unsympathetic to the ministers." Shen Rong couldn't help but complain for her husband.

Yao Shiheng was suddenly frightened, he looked left and right carefully, and then said to his wife with a somewhat ugly face: "How can you be so open-mouthed, if outsiders hear it, not only for my husband, but also for Taishan and his wife and brother." ”

Shen Rong also knew that she had lost her words, and pursed her lips to show an apologetic expression to her husband. Shen Rong then spoke: "Actually, you don't have to impeach officials to do great things, isn't this honorable person not successful?" ”

"Xungui?" Yao Shiheng repeated suspiciously.

"Yes, this alley near the left, who doesn't know that Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian bullied the neighborhoods, rode horses on the streets, and whipped the shop army, this Yangwu Marquis beat and scolded the people in his mansion at every turn, I heard that in the Yangwu Marquis Mansion over the years, every year there are one or two servants, quietly carried out of the mansion for burial in the name of violent illness and death." Shen Rong said with some righteous indignation.

"This, although the Marquis of Yangwu has a lot of illegal things, he has never participated in the government politics, and it seems a little inappropriate to join him." Yao Shiheng said with some hesitation.

"And this Yang Wuhou has always been attached to the British Duke, although the British Duke is now said to be sick and not in the court, but His Majesty is to him is cold and warm, every court meeting must be asked, and from time to time ordered to give medicine to the British Duke. Participated in Yangwu Hou for her husband, what if she annoyed the British princess? ”

Seeing that her husband was afraid of wolves and tigers, Shen Rong shook her head and said helplessly: "The concubine's knowledge is like this, and the husband can make his own decisions." If you think according to the concubine's body, it is not appropriate for the husband to supervise the imperial history. Although the concubine is ignorant, she also knows that this supervision of the imperial history is set up to clear the world and expel the treacherous and evil in the court. Every time a husband encounters something, he must first think about himself, and then think about others, how can he take on the responsibility of imperial history when he acts like this? ”

Yao Shiheng watched his wife leave in a daze, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Originally, he felt that he was a head shorter in front of this wife, but Shen Rong had always treated him politely in front of him, which also made him feel a little inferior.

But the contemptuous words that Shen Rong blurted out just now suddenly made him feel a little guilty.

"How can this really be true, it is simply a woman's opinion." After holding it for a long time, Yao Shiheng, whose face was flushed, whispered.

Sitting with his head down and sulking for a while, Yao Shiheng simply left the house and went out for a walk.

"Don't follow me, the master wants to go out for a walk." Yao Shiheng drank, and Shen Shan, who was about to follow him out, walked out by himself.

Yao Shiheng's personal servant was driven to the countryside by his father to become a village leader because he did not report to his family in time about his life in Fujian.

This Shen Shan is a slave brought by his wife, Yao Shiheng is angry with his wife now, how can he be willing to let his wife's cronies follow him.

Seeing that Yao Shiheng didn't bring any entourage, he went out by himself. Shen Shan was also a little uneasy, feeling that people went to the backyard to inform his own lady.

After listening to the report of the personal maid, Shen Rong looked at the "Ancient and Modern" script in her hand without raising her head, and said casually: "Let him go, it's just a matter of going to a nearby restaurant to have a few drinks and sulking." He has no relatives or friends in the capital, so where else can he go? ”
