Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 217 The Tragic Yan Yi

"Who is Yuan Guogong?"

"Forehead"

After Ling Jingxuan's words fell, everyone including Yan Shengrui couldn't help the black lines on their foreheads. Is he still from the Qing Dynasty?Fortunately, he is still a child. Although Yuan Guogong is not as famous as Marquis Zeng, he is at least a well-known hero. He actually has the nerve to ask them who Yuan Guogong is. It really... makes people speechless.

"Looking at you, it seems strange that I don't know who Yuan Guogong is."

Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan didn't feel ashamed in the slightest, and repeatedly searched through the original owner's memory in his mind, but there was still nothing about Yuan Guogong. Yan Shengrui suddenly remembered his previous situation, and his heart ached so badly, he pulled him slowly. He recounted Yuan Guogong's life, especially emphasizing his deep affection for his wife.

"That's it, then Yuan Guogong seems to be a man, why did he raise such a nondescript bastard?"

After listening to it, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help showing respect to Yuan Guogong, whom he had never met before. He had been here for almost half a year, and he understood that it is not easy for a man in this era to defend himself, but anything a little In the rich family, which man does not have three wives and four concubines?He was short of following the example of the emperor and becoming a concubine of the 72nd Court. Yuan Guogong's ability to have only one woman in his life is probably the only remaining miracle. Unfortunately, he seems to be not very successful in educating children.

"The Duke's mansion is not bad. The old Duke clearly stipulates that all his descendants, regardless of his concubines, cannot take concubines before the age of 40, and only those who have no children after the age of 40 can take concubines. Control yourself, the rest of his brothers have only one wife."

Marquis Zeng and Yuan Guo are on good terms. In addition, he, who has lived in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, knows something about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. "To put it bluntly, it's all caused by the lower body."

Rolling his eyes angrily, he is not a serious person, and he has never thought of changing the polygamous environment. As long as his man is loyal to him alone, he can't control so much about other things. Regarding Yuan Shaoqi's life experience, He didn't say anything, his mother was pitiful, but since Yuan Guogong was such a famous person, how could his son be unknown?That woman probably knew that the son had a wife long ago, but she still wanted to make a private decision with him for life. She should have expected such a result long ago, and there was nothing worthy of sympathy from others. From his point of view, After all, she was the first to get involved in other people's families, and Mrs. Shizi was right, if his man had been coveted, I'm afraid he would directly kill her and eunuch Yan Shengrui.

"What are you thinking? It's impossible for me to make that kind of mistake. Those ideas in your mind will never come true."

Keenly aware of the subtle changes in his breath, Yan Shengrui's forehead went dark, he bent his fingers and knocked on his head unceremoniously, thinking with his butt, he must have put him in it.

"That's not necessarily the case. What if you accidentally get someone drugged? I think I have to research an antidote against strong aphrodisiacs. Otherwise, why would someone come to you with a big belly? I didn't Madam Shizi is so kind!"

Randomly wiped the knocked forehead, Ling Jingxuan turned his head and curled his lips with an evil smile, Yan Shengrui couldn't help but the corners of his mouth twitched, the three kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads tacitly, trying to hold back their smiles, but their ears were Standing up high, unwilling to miss even a few words, "Do you think this king will make the same mistake twice?"

It was hard to restrain the thunder in his heart, Yan Shengrui raised his eyebrows pretending to be serious, even if he committed a crime, he would rather eunuch himself than do anything wrong to him, there is no Yan Xiaoer, at most he has two legs It's empty, if he loses his chastity, I'm afraid his family will be ruined and his wife and children will be separated.

"Hehe...it's best not to." With a sweet smile, Ling Jingxuan leaned on him without hesitation: "Yuan Shaoqi's identity has been clarified, and it should be harmless to us, so how do you plan to arrange it next?" he?"

To be honest, aside from the fact that his origin is unknown, he really values ​​Yuan Shaoqi. He is quite sensitive to numbers, and he can learn almost everything he teaches. He is not a selfish person. This kind of person is most suitable for him. Slavery squeezed.

"Let's leave it at that for the time being. I will personally send a letter to the old man to explain the situation here, and see if he wants to send someone to pick him up or stay here. It's up to him. As for Yuan Shaoqi , I will trouble the princess to go out in person.”

Recently, he has been busy with the fine steel knives. He is more excited than anyone else when he sees the indestructible stainless steel knives being forged. Just make trouble for him.

"Well, I'll talk to him tomorrow, you three haven't kneeled enough? Go down." Seeing that the night was getting late, Ling Jingxuan glanced at the three kneeling in front of them angrily, this time the three were alert Without looking at their prince again, they stood up one after another to say goodbye and leave.

"Yi, starting tomorrow, you will protect Xiaowen Xiaowu."

"bump!"

Just when they opened the door and were about to go out, Yan Chengrui's voice suddenly sounded, and Yan Yi fell out, the two little masters are little devils, can we change the punishment?He didn't want to be tortured to exhaustion like Shan, and he couldn't recover for several days!

"Boss, you have worked hard."

Pulling the door to help him up, Yan Siqiang suppressed a smile and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, he had heard about it a long time ago, the second young master asked Yan Shan to take him to fly, and even forced him to eat a large bowl of noodles when he was done. As for the matter, although the eldest and young master is better, I heard that he is also a super assertive master, even the princess is afraid of him talking about it, let alone them.

"Ahem... Boss, I will collect your body."

"Haha."

Yan Shan pretended to be calm and cleared his throat twice, but what he said made Yan Si burst into laughter, Yan Yi gritted his teeth and stared at them, wishing to tear them apart, what about the promised brotherhood?This is how they treat his big brother?

The next day, Ling Jingxuan originally wanted to talk to Yuan Shaoqi, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Since he is harmless, there is no need for him to poke the wound in his heart. It's done, but he belongs to the Duke's Mansion after all, so there can't be any trouble with him. The other accountants have also learned the single-entry bookkeeping method, so Ling Jingxuan simply sent the younger Mr. Feng to Baiyun Pavilion Helping out from the branch, by the way, teaching the accounting gentlemen sent by Baiyun Pavilion to study. As for Yuan Shaoqi, no matter whether Ling Jinghan can pass the exam or not, he can't manage the account books anymore, and Shui Sheng has to take care of him all the time. He took over the general ledger in Ling Jinghan's hands, and asked Ling Jinghan to teach him the double-entry bookkeeping method during these few days.

At this time, Ling Jingxuan might never have imagined in his dreams that his way of taking care of the overall situation was to send a wolf with a big tail to his beloved younger brother.

Three days later, on the announcement day, Ling Jingxuan's three brothers did not go to see it in person. As early as two days ago, he told his two younger brothers about the impending imperial edict. Let the literate Lao Song drive to the county town for a trip.

"Father, why are you here?"

Knowing that today is the announcement day, the old couple of the Wang family who hadn't been to the door for a long time came early. Behind them were several elders from the Lizhenghe clan. Compared with the old couple, the others were a little uncomfortable. Still angry about what happened last time, he didn't bother to talk to them, so he turned around and entered the yard while supporting his parents. Ling Chenglong said helplessly, "Second Uncle Lizheng, why are you here? Please sit inside."

The visitors were guests. Although they had left the old Ling's family, they were still in the Ling's ancestral hall. It was a bit difficult not to say hello, no matter whether it was for the sake of face or the reputation of his sons, he had no choice.

"Isn't that why we heard that Jinghan went to the county to take part in the children's examination a few days ago? Today is a good day to release the results, so let's take a look together. Our family Jinghan is outstanding, and even Zhang Juren in the school praised him. Plus, I will definitely pass the Tongsheng exam this time." Now, no matter whether it is Li Zheng or the elders of the clan, no one dares to look down on Ling Chenglong anymore, Li Zheng stammers a bit when talking to him, which is uncomfortable.

"Second Uncle Cheng Lizheng, Ji Yan, I hope I can pass the exam. Isn't this Chenggui? Why are you back?"

Seeing the gentle young man with his sharp eyes, Ling Chenglong couldn't help but smile. Ling Chenggui, Ling Qicai's youngest son, Cai, passed the Tongsheng examination last year. He has been studying in the county and rarely returns to Lingjia Village. Perhaps it is because of his Because he is younger than Ling Jingxuan, Ling Chenglong always regards him as his son and loves him very much.

"Second cousin, it's been a long time. I heard that Jinghan is in good health and can take the exam. No, come back to see him."

Ling Chenggui scratched his head shyly, his fair and tender face was a little rosy, he was sent to the county town to study at a very young age, and he didn't know much about the family affairs, probably because he was a scholar, he and Ling Jinghan had always had a good relationship In the past, every time I came back, I would bring him some books that I didn’t use. This time, I also heard that Ling Jinghan had participated in the children’s examination, so I asked for leave to come back to see him.

"Hehe...Jinghan will definitely be very happy, walk around, go in and sit, Jingxuan and the others are at home." Ling Chenglong was happy, and his attitude became more enthusiastic. , followed behind them tremblingly.

Ling Wang, who went in earlier, had already told Ling Jingxuan and the others about Lizheng waiting for someone to come, but Ling Jingxuan didn't say anything, as long as he didn't come here to find trouble, he didn't bother to talk to them, let alone Ling Jinghan and Ling Jingpeng brothers, they I have always acted according to my elder brother's wishes. As for the little buns, they have already gone to school at this point, otherwise how could the house be so clean? "Jinghan, look who is here."

Before Ling Chenglong entered the main room, his voice rang out first. Ling Jingxuan, who was chatting with Mr. Wang, turned his head in doubt, and saw his father happily dragging a young man of seventeen or eighteen into the room. Unable to be a little puzzled, Ling Jingpeng whispered in his ear when he saw this, "That's the second grandpa's youngest son, Ling Chenggui, who has been studying in the city. You may not have much impression of him."

Hearing this, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows clearly. He knew about Ling Qicai's youngest son studying in the city, but he didn't expect to be so elegant, and even a little shy. He didn't have any genes of the Ling family. It makes people feel ravaged... No, I like it. To use a simpler description, he feels like a little white rabbit, very weak and weak.

"Uncle Tang." Seeing Ling Chenggui, Ling Jinghan happily went up to meet him. Yuan Shaoqi's eyes flashed, and he stared at the hand that was actively pinching the other's arm. Sheng looked at him strangely, touched his nose and moved his body away a little bit. Of course, Ling Jingxuan didn't notice this weird scene, otherwise he would definitely find that the way Yuan Shaoqi looked at Ling Jinghan at this time was exactly the same as Yan Shengrui looked at him. , with full dominance and love.
