Chapter 414: Leeks

Because her husband offended the governor of the left of the court, Cao's heart was uneasy, so he pulled the concubine Liu to ask Li Zengzhi's daughter-in-law Qiang, when the three men were in the Maozhi County Mansion to complain about their grievances, they took gifts and sat in a sedan chair to visit Xu's house.

Mu Ningxue was surprised, and instructed Zhulan to invite the three ladies into the inner house, and after seeing the tea ceremony, she asked for clarification.

Mu Ningxue secretly said that the sisters of the Nie family are safe and sound, and the husband is not the character to investigate to the end, since the Li family also knows that the Tao is wrong, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them.

Xu Hao was invited to do so, and the three women were secretly praising the appearance and bearing of the young lady of the Xu family a moment ago, and at this moment they watched the young man in his twenties come in.

Qiang is not as confused as her husband, she knows that the humanities and martial arts in front of him are all-rounder, and his scheming city is unfathomable, but fortunately, he is very brave and affectionate, which is well-known in the capital. And if the eldest brother Li Jinglong hadn't had him to take care of him, he would have been in a catastrophe this time, everyone in the circle said that Xu Hao dared to act in his early years, and even the emperor dared to be angry for the sake of injustice, who is not proud to be friends with him? At this time, when he saw that he was as handsome as the rumors, he was immediately in awe.

As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's famous tree, Cao and Liu are also very admired, and they say that seeing this hero with their own eyes is not in vain.

At present, the three wives of the star-chasing clan of the Ming Dynasty are in front of their idols, without the scruples of not being ugly and not publicized, and take turns to talk about how to teach their husbands. also asked Xu Hao to forgive Yunyun, Xu Hao was shocked and funny when he heard it, and it was probably a good wife in the family who would not suffer from misfortune. Although these three virtuous people are inevitably overdone, they came to the door to ask for guilt as soon as possible, and they are much better than their husbands in dealing with people.

Xu Hao said with a smile: "The three sisters-in-law can afford Xu, so let's go over with a smile on some disputes." Xu Hao has always done what he says, as long as Brother Liu no longer embarrasses others, I will never embarrass him. ”

Cao Shi was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Governor for a lot." Husband, he is that bastard, he annoys people when he is a child, and his relatives, friends, neighbors, and neighbors are all offended by him. Don't take it to heart. ”

Xu Hao has always acted without a fight, and personally invited the three ladies to dinner at noon, talking and laughing during the banquet, and his unapproachable behavior became more and more popular. If it weren't for the beauties around me, there would be too many. Mu Ningxue sat on the side, estimating that if she hooked her fingers casually, the ladies would not hesitate to dedicate themselves to the idol and cuckold the three difficult brothers.

In the back hall of Mao Zhi County, Mao Jin said: "Now the master mother is angry, and she is angry inside, and I am also angry." When Grace is careful to make amends for your sins in front of the mistress, if I go and report your affairs. After being found out by the housewife, you can't blame me for suing my wife for a man? It's okay, turn around and inform your lady. Wouldn't we all be punished, and we would surely die, so we didn't dare to obey orders. ”

After speaking, he said to Li Zengzhi: "Mrs. Zun is still virtuous, you lost your posture and failed to check, how can you blame people?" It is a blessing that I have not broken my neck, but if Enshang made such a mistake with me, alas! I'm afraid I can't even save my life. I would like to advise you to calm your anger, and then be careful and pay more attention to everything, and it will be fine. ”

Mao Jin got up and arched his hand and said: "I can't accompany you, I will go back to dinner in the morning, I have to go back quickly." ”

Li Zengzhi just sighed, just as Tian Wenhai rushed over, the Liu family brothers took the gold and muttered a few words to him, Tian Wenhai rolled his eyes, and said casually: "Why bother to seek the near and far?" I know Yuan Tuiguan in the house, and it is only right to find him in this matter. ”

The Ming Dynasty magistrate was Zheng Qipin, equivalent to the local president of the intermediate court, who was humble but had great powers, and could retry all cases in a prefecture.

Li Zengzhi was overjoyed, and happily pulled Tian Wenhai away, Liu Yun and Liu Ruhu looked at each other, unable to guess Master Tian's deep meaning. It turned out that Yuan Tuiguan was not an unknown person, and his grandfather Yuan Rong was a native of Yingzhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Anhui Province, who followed Emperor Taizu to revolt and was awarded the hereditary hundred households of Suiyang with his military exploits.

Since then, the Yuan family has been reinvigorating the forest, the fragrance of books is endless, the people are called Suizhou Dongguan "Hundred Household Marquis", three consecutive generations of people can be civil and martial, quite accomplished in the place, respected and called "the third Sima".

Yuan Tuiguan's name is Yuan Li, his eldest brother Yuan Jie inherited the hereditary official position of the family, and Yuan Keli, a famous minister of the Wanli Dynasty in history, is his descendant, and he also became famous from the Tuiguan, Yuan Li Jinshi and was later appointed as the governor of Suzhou Prefecture.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, up to eighty percent of officials were born in Jiangnan, and about half of these officials were born in Suzhou, so the background of Hangzhou officialdom is not generally complicated.

Yuan Li is like this, when the blood and qi Fang Gang was not afraid of the tiger, he ridiculed Huang Zicheng in the Jianwen Dynasty for misleading the country and the people, and his teacher was well versed in Jiangnan officialdom at that time, and he was very worried about his future.

Fortunately, in the four years of the Battle of Jingjing, due to the tight war, there was no time for the officialdom to fight each other, Yuan Li enforced the law impartially in Hangzhou, and was praised as the right and left hand by the prefect Shi Kun.

Shi Kun is known for his integrity, in order to raise military salaries and materials for the imperial court, he offended many local heroes, thus offended Li Su, the governor of Yingtian, and was impeached and guilty, and Yuan Li was implicated and suppressed and could not be promoted.

Last year, Jiangnan suffered a flood, and many people thought that Shi Zhifu was wronged, so they angered the heavens, but before Yuan Li was ready to fight Li Su with the humility of the seven grades and the dignity of the four grades, Li Su had been jointly impeached by Xia Yuanji and others and put in prison in the Criminal Department.

Shi Kunguan was reinstated, and soon he was promoted to the governor of Yingtianfu, and Yuan Li still served as his official before his term of office expired.

Yuan Li has a very good official reputation in Hangzhou, and he can be called an iron-faced selfless six relatives who do not recognize it, and he spends half a year in various places to try cases and interrogate cases, because Liu Yun is very jealous of him, don't look at him as a royal history, and Yuan Li hurriedly walked around when he saw it, and he didn't dare to meet easily.

Liu Yun knew that Tian Wenhai had a wide range of contacts, he did a lot of tricks on others, and occasionally someone was angry enough to sue him, Tian Wenhai helped him deal with Yuan Li, and although Yuan Li disdained Liu Yun's character, most of his actions were harmless, so he never cared.

Xu Hao admires Yuan Li very much, Hangzhou is full of disaster victims, the reason why the public security is good, this is inseparable from Yuan Li's hard work, but he has no intention of dealing with the other party, after all, with his status, unless it is necessary to have too much to do with civil officials. And with Yuan Li's personality, he probably doesn't bother to associate with a powerful person like him.

Here, Tian Wenhai led Li Zengzhi to see Yuan Li, Yuan Li invited the two of them to come in and talk, and after telling the details, Yuan Li frowned and said, "What kind of bastard is this?" It's a pity that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the prefect is afraid of the inside, and even the entire officialdom is so afraid of his wife, which is ridiculous and contemptible. ”

Li Zengzhi said inexplicably: "Where do you start with this, the prefect is also afraid of Madame?" ”

Yuan Li frowned and said: "This matter can't be controlled by the official, and it is better for the husband and wife to value harmony." You almost died recently due to disorderly behavior, and I advise you to keep your wife and abide by the law, and do less foolish things for beauty, and give your life in vain. Drop-off. ”

Tian Wenhai laughed secretly in his heart, he pulled Li Zengzhi to come in a circle to dispel his thoughts, so that Liu Yun could get the thirty taels of gold, and it was useless to find two officials in a row, so he had to help.

Let's say that Liu Yun and the brothers came out early in the morning and couldn't go home empty-handed, so they bought ten catties of beef and two catties of soju on Huihui Street by the way.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Cao stood inside the door and watched the two big poodles fighting on the street, and was watching it interestingly, when he saw his husband coming, he asked angrily: "Who did you buy wine and meat for?" ”

Liu Yun walked with her head down, so frightened that she almost threw the wine bottle on the ground, calmed down, and said with a smile: "I saw that the lady was in a bad mood these days, and I was very anxious, so I helped my brother-in-law a little favor today, got some silver, and came back to honor you by buying wine and meat." ”

Cao Shi remembered the advice of Xu Hao and his wife, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Okay! I was thinking about beef stewed loofah to eat, just went over a vegetable burden, and you asked him if he had a loofah. ”

Liu Yun couldn't care about his identity in order to please his wife, so he personally ran over and shouted that the vegetable seller came back, and the vegetable seller turned around with his burden and asked in front of the door, "What did the uncle buy?" ”

Liu Ruhu didn't dare to make a mistake in front of his sister-in-law, didn't dare to open his mouth and kept lying down and pretending to be dead, and was carried into the house by his subordinates, and vaguely heard Liu Yun say: "I want a loofah." “

The man said, "I sell fat leeks, not loofahs." ”

Liu Yun shouted: "I'm talking about loofah, who wants your leeks?" ”

Seeing this, the man picked up the burden and muttered: "Leeks are Xingyang's but don't eat them, and loofahs are Yang's favorites." ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he hurriedly said to her husband: "Why are you so dead, you don't have a loofah, isn't it good to fry meat with leeks?" Buy more. ”

Liu Yun couldn't call people back again, so he bought a few catties and entered the house, Liu saw that he was carrying beef, he was full of joy, and said to Liu Ruhu: "Don't pretend to be a dead man, your left arm can move, when I don't know how?" ”

When eating at night, there is less meat and more leeks on the plate, Liu Ruhu only eats the meat, while Liu Yun eats leeks alone. Liu asked Cao strangely: "Why doesn't the eldest brother eat meat?" What is the reason for the lack of meat every day? ”

Cao Shi laughed in a low voice: "The vegetable seller before said that leeks are Xingyang, so he blindly eats vegetables." ”

Liu Shi listened to Dingding and looked at her husband, who was still looking for meat to eat, and was so anxious that she couldn't help it, and scolded: "Are you gluttonous?" Eat some leeks. ”

Liu Ruhu only has one hand, and he was busy looking for meat to eat with one hand, so frightened that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and he didn't know what the reason was, so he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and ate a few large bites of leeks in a row.

Liu smiled: "Look at this is the reason." The two of them smiled at each other. (To be continued......)
