Chapter 740: Fly Away
Since Xu Hai went to Songjiang Mansion, the Wang family asked Xu Wen to come back and set up a household, and it happened that Xu Wen also had this intention. Thinking that his career has been unsatisfactory over the years, the new house and the Forbidden City are close at hand, and with the personal relationship between the third child and the emperor, he may often come to the Xu family to visit the door.
Xu Wen knew that it was inconvenient for the favored concubine Jiaojiao and Xianggong Ruan Fei to bring them over, so he instructed him and moved back alone.
Xu Hao didn't react when he learned about it, now each house is an independent mansion, and it is already its own one, even if any brother commits the crime of rebellion, as long as the emperor does not pursue it, it will not implicate the other brothers. Throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, it basically ended after Zhu Di's Zhulian Ten Clans, and there were very few tragic incidents in which the founding heroes were exterminated.
Xu Wen was not at home, Ruan Fei and Jiaojiao were obscene and happy, doing everything. On this day, Ruan Fei wanted to go out for a walk, so after dinner, he went to the opera garden at the East City Gate, bumped into his childhood friend Mingguan, and pulled him to his house without saying a word.
This Ming official's wife, Honghong, was also a play raised by the white rich man in Jiaojiao's early years, and was later given to the Ming official, most of them were people in the same circle, and the relationship was extremely chaotic.
Ruan Fei asked, "What the hell is going on?" God mysterious. ”
Ming Guan said: "Yesterday, Lao Bu said that a rich family surnamed Zhang was implicated in the Shandong Wakou case, and now he is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”
"What's so hard about that?" Ruan Fei was disdainful, "Don't even think about it if it's a widow, it's not a big deal for a rich man, how much is he willing to pay?" ”
Ming Guan stretched out five fingers and said, "Five hundred yellow things." ”
Ruan Fei's disdainful expression became even stronger, "What a cheap life!" Let him give a thousand. Without this number, how can my uncle be willing to take on the role? It's not my lion who opens his mouth. ”
"I know." Mingguan nodded, "I'll go find Lao Bu now, and you should also hurry up and squeak with Uncle Xu." ”
"Done!" Ruan Fei got up and came out with him, and said hello to Honghong who was waving flowers and branches as he left.
It is said that Ruan Fei entered the imperial city and went straight to the British Mansion of Yanque Lake. When passing through the main gate, Xu Hao came back from the palace on horseback, accompanied by Princess Xianning who was sitting in the carriage.
Ruan Fei hid under a tree, looked at Xu Hao who turned over and dismounted, and said to himself: "How good would it be if I could tie him up?" It's a pity that people don't like each other, otherwise they can find me an official to do, how can Xu Wen not look at it as the eldest grandson of the Xu family, but he doesn't have that ability. ”
Shaking his head, he walked to the door of the long house, and was taken to the study by the steward, and it didn't take long for Xu Wen to come out of the inner house. "What's the matter?" he asked. ”
Ruan Fei said it with a smile, and Xu Wen muttered: "No, I was almost impeached last time, and it is inconvenient for me to say this kind of thing to my family, once the incident happens, I will become a prisoner." Forget it, now there is no shortage of money to spend, you go and refuse. ”
"Don't." Ruan Fei suddenly became anxious and said: "This matter is actually an errand taken by grandma, and she and Mingguan are good friends. I promised it in person, wouldn't this refusal be a slap in the face of my grandmother? ”
"Mingguan?" Xu Wen suddenly became interested, "Is it the famous Xiaodan that you say every day?" What is his daughter-in-law's name and how is her posture? ”
Ruan Fei smiled knowingly: "The name of the milk is Honghong." The posture is not worse than grandma, and there is no means on the bed, which is really wonderful. If the uncle does this, he and his wife will be grateful to Dade for climbing your big tree. I don't have to ask you to be the guest of the curtain. ”
"Not bad." Xu Wen was tempted, and he could play a couple at the same time at once, which must have been wonderful. Immediately agreed.
That night, Ruan Fei went to Ming Guan's house again, and the husband and wife invited him to a light meal, and said during the banquet: "That person really can't afford it, at most it will be added to twenty, and half of it will be sent here first." ”
"For your sake, that's fine. But you have to get my love, and I won't have something to ask you in a few days. Ruan Fei secretly said that it was not too late to say that the matter was done, he was a little sure, the two of Ming officials were not without customers, it turned out that he and Honghong had a leg in private, what was wrong with his family?
After eating, Ruan Fei deliberately asked Honghong: "Does sister-in-law recognize Jiaojiao?" ”
"Why don't you recognize it?" Honghong said.
Ruan Fei said with a smile: "Her skin and flesh are not as white and tender as her sister-in-law, but Fengyue is superior." ”
Honghong immediately blushed, and scolded with a smile: "Bastard Wang Ba, he is full of nonsense again." The Ming official on the side didn't care, his hat was green and purple.
"Haha!" Ruan Fei laughed, got up and put the gold on the donkey's back with Ming Guan, and took advantage of the night to return home.
That night, she took it to Jiaojiao in the study and told her the truth, Jiaojiao was naturally very happy when she saw Huang Cancan's gold, and took Ruan Fei's hand to the inner house, which can be described as a gain for both people and money.
Unexpectedly, the rooster had not crowed early the next morning, but he heard the door of the courtyard slamming, Ruan Fei hurriedly got up and dressed, and the door squeaked open.
The sound of leather boots came from far and near, and someone asked, "Didn't grandma get up?" Where is Ruan Fei in the study? Didn't return overnight? ”
The frightened Ruan Fei put on his pants with all his hands and feet, quickly buttoned his clothes, tidied up his long hair, and ran out in a few steps to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Xu Wen was furious and said, "What are you doing here? ”
"I, I." Ruan Fei, who was anxious to make a living, rolled his eyes, "I'm going to go to the small market, come and ask my aunt what do you want to buy?" ”
"Fuck you!" Is Xu Wen so fooled? Pointing to each other's feet, "Go to the small market, are you going barefoot?" ”
Ruan Fei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I forgot to wear my socks, I said how strange it is cold, I'll go first." After saying that, he snatched the door and ran away.
"This dog thing." Xu Wen was not in a hurry to settle accounts with him, and strode into the bedroom, and Jiaojiao was pretending to be asleep.
"You slut did a good job, get out." Xu Wen became more and more angry, there was not even a person in the house, she was lying on the bed again, what good can a lonely man and a widow do?
Jiaojiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she turned over and said, "Why are you scolding? ”
"You say, early in the morning, what are you doing hiding Ruan Fei in the house?" Xu Wen asked.
Jiaojiao shouted, "Who hid him?" He said he was going to the market, and I sent the girl to buy breakfast. ”
"Don't fuck me off." Xu Wen dragged her down, and went straight to the study at the moment, Ruan Fei was lying in a trance, and jumped up and cried when he saw this: "You asked me to go in the upper room, and you arranged for me to live here, I am just closer to my aunt, what's wrong?" Ate your meals for a few days. Then he took out the master's cavity. Come on! You can kill me. ”
This kid is a hob meat, took off his clothes and pants, turned naked and pouted his white and tender ass, and shouted: "You beat, hit!" ”
This move made Xu Wen laugh, Jiaojiao was not his serious wife and concubine, she was just a plaything, so in front of Jiaojiao, she threw the leather whip in her hand on the ground, took off her pants and took out her own meat whip. In front of the chrysanthemum of Xianggong, he taught a solid lesson.
Jiaojiao covered her face and ran away, in the end she regarded herself as a concubine. Here Xu Wen was comfortable, and said with a dark face: "I don't care about you this time, and next time I will kill your dog, Lao Tzu's woman is something you can touch?" You come in for me in a while, and see if your aunt dares to talk nonsense with her eyes open. ”
After speaking, he lifted his pants and walked away, Ruan Fei was helpless, and put on his clothes with a red face. And they came in.
Everyone in the family was shocked, and when they saw him, they all pursed their lips and smiled, and when they came to the window, they only heard Jiaojiao in the house say: "Good man! Doing that shameless thing in front of my eyes. You're still accusing me? ”
Xu Wen said: "Is it only allowed for you to be happy, not for me?" Warning, only this once. ”
Ruan Fei knew that the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, so he went in and said, "Everything is broken." Shameful! What else is he talking about? ”
Jiaojiao didn't mention it anymore, asked some words about his wife's health, and told the maid to pass the meal.
Although Xu Wen said that he didn't care on the surface. But in the end, with a thorn in his heart, he sat in the car and thought about it, he couldn't leave people behind, so he sent people away, right? I can't bear it for a while.
But once this matter spread, there was no face, and in the end, Xu Wen was ruthless, and simply didn't do anything, and sent the pair of dogs and men to the sea, and they were killed unconsciously.
Jiaojiao said sadly: "His temper is gloomy, and his affairs are seen through by him, and something is wrong in the end." ”
Ruan Fei knew Xu Wen's temper better, and said: "But it's not, it wasn't that bitter trick just now, so it's worth it?" He can really kill people in a hurry. ”
Thinking of the chrysanthemum that was tossed just now, and I don't know how many people took the opportunity to sneak it in, Ruan Fei sighed and said: "Even if he doesn't care, I was ruined by him like a person, do I still have a face to walk around?" ”
Jiaojiao also said sullenly: "Do I still have a face?" After this incident, the concubine can never be counted on, and she is just a plaything for a lifetime. ”
"Why don't we go thirty-six?" Ruan Fei said, "Now that he has so much gold in his hand, he also has a lot of silver, pack up, let's go away." ”
Jiaojiao said: "How are we going?" There are so many people in the family. ”
"I'll go find Mingguan and Honghongli to meet outside." Ruan Fei thought of Honghong's delicate and tender body, and teased: "You have been in love with Ming Guan for a long time, and now the four of us are husband and wife together, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish." ”
"you." Jiaojiao was also happy, and said with a smile: "It is said that Fujian and Guangdong are moving people to Taiwan, and the emperor is far away from the sea and mountains. When you get to the sea, you two men don't have to be lowly husbands, you will change your face to be a rich man, and Honghong and I will be rich wives. ”
At that moment, the two packed up a large amount of money, Jiaojiao invited Honghong as a guest, held a banquet and invited everyone to eat and drink, and Mingguan and Ruan Fei secretly transported the silver out in a carriage.
Late at night, the mother-in-law who guarded the door was opened in advance, and the four of them slipped out of the back door together, got into the carriage and went to Ming Guan's house first. At dawn, he got out of the city in a car.
In the afternoon, Xu Wen, who rushed back after getting the news, was stupid, the boxes and cages in the house were opened, and things were thrown to the ground in a mess, and he was stunned with anger.
Not to mention that he arranged for people to chase the shop, what Lao Bu heard about this, and ran to Shuntianfu to complain, saying that he had been deceived of 350 taels of gold, and the defendant was Xu Wen's scholar from the British government, and Xu Wen was so angry that he was like thunder.
It turned out that Lao Bu and Ruan Fei had done more than one life-buying lawsuit, and Xu Wen, who was not afraid of secretly operating this matter, died for money and for food.
Xu Wen was worried about the East Window incident, and secondly, the family's silver was swept away, so what would he give back to others for the time being? three hundred and fifty taels of gold, more than four thousand taels of silver.
I had no choice but to tell Xu Hao in private, Xu Hao was very speechless, and he couldn't kill his relatives in righteousness, so he directly informed Xiao Wei, the commander of Jinyiwei, of the case, and asked Jinyiwei to investigate to the end, because Xu Wen was involved, Xu Hao went to Qianqing Palace to tell the truth.
Xu Wen's virtue Zhu Gaochi also knows that it is not easy to deal with the Xu family ruthlessly, so he will not be held accountable even if he is open to the Internet, but Xu Wen's official position must be over, and he will stay in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for the rest of his life.
Let's say that Zhiyan saw many people make a lot of money by opening workshops last year, and also encouraged her husband to go to the sea to do business, but she went to Quanzhou and was deceived.
The creditors came to the door one after another, and the government made trouble, and her husband was in prison thinking about whether he wanted to affect his wife, and in the dead of night, he wrote a bill of injustice, writing down the experience of being deceived clearly, and the responsibility was on himself; made another will, pointing out that his wife was an old person from the Xu Mansion, telling her to still take refuge in the past, and then hanged herself.
Zhiyan received the bad news and rushed to the prison to cry, and the yamen was not easy to embarrass her at the funeral, and intentionally or unintentionally reminded her according to the will.
The county magistrate played a good game and let go of Zhiyan, so wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to make friends with the Xu family? If the Xu family doesn't admit it, it's a big deal to bring Zhiyan back for trial.
Seeing that this was her husband's will, Zhiyan wiped away her tears and hired a ship to go directly to Jinling, and then the yamen sent people to pursue the family with great fanfare.
When she arrived in Jinling, Zhiyan went to the old Guogong Mansion, and when she asked, she found out that she had moved, and hired a donkey cart to enter the inner city.
The early morning on the side of the new house is also very lively, there are more than a dozen pairs of burdens at the back door, all of them are selling breakfast, and some are even stall owners who are on the side of the old house all the year round.
There are many people, and Zhiyan is inconvenient to ask, but she saw an old woman walking slowly over with a cane, and hurriedly went up to say hello, "Grandma Li, I want to go into the garden to say hello to the third grandmother." ”
This old lady is the elder of Li Dong's family, and said: "Miss Zhiyan, not long after moving here, many personnel rules have changed, even if they haven't changed, you know that the inner house is not just said to be able to enter, not to mention that you are no longer a member of the Xu family."
In this way, I will take you in first, now Qiu Xiang is the housekeeper, in the past, three joys and four joys, Lai's mother Lin, and they were still beaten, don't worry. ”
Zhiyan followed her into the back door, and there was a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world, it had only been a little more than a year since she left the Xu family in the capital, how could she feel like she had been away for many years? All of them have changed.
In fact, nothing has changed, but her mood has changed, which is also because she and Qiu Xiang are not very familiar.
Thinking that she married into the Xu family with the young lady, Qiu Xiang was also married, the two only met a few times, and they didn't say a few words in total, and when Qiu Xiang went home to be the housekeeper, she left with her husband. (To be continued......)
