Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 111

Coming to Beijing to report on your work is not something you can meet with the saint whenever you want. When the saint sees you depends on when the saint thinks of you.If it was kept in mind, perhaps as soon as he entered Beijing, there would be orders from saints to ask for an audience, and those who are not welcome may not be able to see saints even after the end of their reporting period.

Xiang Yuan came to the capital four years ago as a fourth-rank magistrate to report on his duties. The Beijing official who was in charge of receiving him was a manager of the Ministry of Industry. Seeing that Xiang Yuan was only a fourth-rank magistrate, looking through his resume, he found that Xiang Yuan was still a man of unknown background. , The little people who seem to have no background in the capital suddenly feel contemptuous.Just at this time, a fourth-rank magistrate working in Guanzhong Mansion brought a large and mighty family to the capital to report on his work. The steward heard that the background of this fourth-rank magistrate was not simple, but that he was from a wealthy family, so he said nothing. Said, blocked Xiang Yuan's request to move in, and welcomed the big family in attentively.

Xiang Yuan had no choice but to take Zhao Shen to the Fuyunlai Inn to stay overnight. Fortunately, there was still a room in Fuyunlai that was vacant.This saved them from the embarrassment of having nowhere to live.

Come back this time, the person in charge of reception is still the single steward.It's just that compared to the lukewarm appearance four years ago, this single manager is simply attentive.I don't know if it was because he had been waiting to see when Xiang Yuan would enter the capital, and when Xiang Yuan came to sign in, as soon as he showed up, Steward Shan put on an earnest smile, squeezed out the staff in charge of hospitality, and handled it for Xiang Yuan himself.In the words, he expressed his great remorse for his ignorance of Mount Tai four years ago, and begged Mr. Xiang Yuan to make a large number of people, so don't take it to heart. In the end, he almost patted his chest to guarantee that the arrangement for Xiang Yuan and his party would be absolute. It is a good room, not only the location is good and the lighting is good, but also the people who are responsible for cleaning and meals are all old people, so it is a proper way to do things.

Xiang Yuan just smiled and listened to him, signed it neatly, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, but I still think it's better to stay in Fuyunlai, familiar with the way, and don't have to worry about being forced to change rooms or be forced to check out halfway." .” Then he walked away.Shan Guanshi said a lot of good things, his mouth was dry, and he thought that Xiang Yuan would not lose face and agree, but unexpectedly, the other party turned around and left with only one sentence.

"Master Shan, what should we do? Is the room still available?"

Shan Guanshi had a gloomy face, upset and irritable.

If he knew four years ago that Xiang Yuan was deeply favored by the emperor and that he was Duke Lin's closed disciple, what would he do to give others a wink?You can't even curry favor!It's hateful that Xiang Yuan didn't show any trace, and entered Beijing with an appearance of no background and no backer, which caused him to make mistakes in judgment and completely offended people to death.

Thinking that the last time Xiang Yuan signed in, only one day later, someone from the palace came to announce the purpose of his audience, and the manager alone was in a cold sweat.Staring at the big characters flying and dancing on the sign-in book, Steward Shan gritted his teeth, and prepared to go back tonight and prepare some good gifts for him. No matter what, he had to bring him back to live, otherwise who knows if the sage will take care of Xiang Xiang on a whim. Yuan's diet and daily life, or that Xiang Yuan sued him with a bad record, then he has done his job as a manager.

Xiang Yuan didn't care how troubled Shan Guanshi was.The reason why he chose to live in Fuyunlai was that on the one hand, he really felt that it was more convenient to know the way here, and on the other hand, he really wanted to teach Shan Guan a lesson.

This one-officer's eyes are higher than the top, and he is stalking the crowd. If a magistrate with a slightly weaker family comes over and is stopped by him like this, not only will he have to spend several times more money to find another inn, but he will also have to worry about being far away and not well-informed. There is a risk of missing an errand.This is the capital city, if a sage summons him, if he misses even a cup of tea, he may lose his official position.That single steward is so inconsiderate, his heart is dark, and he doesn't beat and beat, Xiang Yuan is really upset.

"Daddy, what's that place?"

When Xiang Yuan and his guest room opened the window, they happened to be able to see a three-story building in the distance.There are colorful flags fluttering in the wind hanging outside the high-rise building, and the colors are extremely gorgeous.

Zhao Shen followed suit and frowned.After thinking about it, he said to Xiang Zhuangzhuang, "That's a place for drinking."

Xiang Yuan burst out laughing.It's not a place to eat wine, but this wine is not ordinary wine, it's "flower wine".

Seeing Xiang Yuan laughing out loud, Xiang Zhuangzhuang obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Zhao Shen suspiciously, with the expression that you are not lying to me.

Zhao Shen gave a fake cough, and glared at Xiang Yuan fiercely through the gap of his head. Xiang Yuan immediately shut his mouth tightly, his eyes drifted left and right, his head swayed slightly, looking innocent.

"Father, let's eat the delicious buns you said."

Xiang Qing and Xiang Zheng also packed up and came over at this time, and immediately stood behind Xiang Anjue when they heard the words, as if they would protect Xiang Anjue and go out as soon as Zhao Shen spoke.

"Delicious and delicious buns?"

Xiang Yuan looked at Zhao Shen, Zhao Shen was a little embarrassed.

Four years ago, he came to the capital with Xiang Yuan for the first time. Naturally, he was surprised by everything he saw, especially the buns that Xiang Yuan brought him to eat.

However, this is not to say how rare and delicious buns are, but that he was in a good mood at that time, and naturally felt that everything he ate was delicacies from mountains and seas.

Many officials, once they go to work in other places, leave their wives at home to take care of the whole family, while those who are officials can take their concubines and servants out to have fun.But Congzi was different, he took himself with him everywhere, and never showed any dislike for his little brother status.Not only did he take him into office, but he was allowed to go out to socialize and do business, even if it was such a big event to go to Beijing to report on his work, Congzi didn't intend to abandon himself, so he took care of everything when going out, and took care of his own preferences in accommodation and food.Therefore, the steamed stuffed bun meal that they ate when they first arrived in the capital, was naturally good and delicious in his impression.

As if seeing Zhao Shen's discomfort, Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes, hugged Xiang Zhuangzhuang with a smile on his face, and promised, "Okay, let's eat some delicious buns!"

After finishing speaking, he cast a blind eye at Zhao Shen who was stunned behind.

Zhao Shen was suddenly shocked by such an electric shock, and immediately felt a numbness in his heart, and goose bumps seemed to appear on his arms.The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, Zhao Shen stretched out his hand to touch his slightly swollen belly, looking at the big and small talking and laughing in front of him, his heart was as soft as water.

Zhou Ying, the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, came out of the jewelry and jade shop and was about to get into the sedan chair when he suddenly saw a familiar face out of the corner of his eyes.Frowning, standing up, Zhou Yan looked straight over.

The face he was familiar with was a man in his late thirties, with a calm demeanor and a graceful manner, holding a four or five-year-old doll, followed by a man who looked like a little brother, standing in front of a sugar figurine booth and talking and laughing.

Where should I have seen it?This feeling of familiarity and strangeness does not seem like someone who lives in the capital.Zhou Ying's brows were furrowed, he thought about half a cup of tea, and seeing that the family was about to disappear into the teahouse, he finally remembered who the man was.

Xiang Yuan!

He remembered.No wonder he felt that this person was both strange and familiar. The strange reason was that he didn't know Xiang Yuan at all before, and the familiar reason was that since His Royal Highness showed his enthusiasm for Xiang Yuan, his father specially drew his portrait for identification.

Thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's protection of Xiang Yuan yesterday, Zhou Yan felt depressed for a while.It is clear that their Cheng'en mansion should be the closest to His Royal Highness, but for some reason, His Royal Highness has been lukewarm towards Cheng'en's mansion since he was a child, and has always maintained a line of kindness and courtesy, but not enough intimacy.And Duke Cheng'en's government did not dare to show too much enthusiasm for His Royal Highness in order to avoid the saint's suspicion.However, this peace was broken by the prince who was born in the palace a month ago.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath.

Not only him, but also his father, grandfather, and even his grandfather's heart were in a mess.

The honor and disgrace of Cheng'en Gong's lineage are all tied to the prince, and there is no room for mistakes.But now the increasingly complicated situation has disrupted the rhythm of Cheng'en Gongfu, which has always been calm. What is even more shocking is that His Royal Highness still did not show his closeness to Cheng'en Gong's mansion. People with no family background are extremely close.

This is absolutely intolerable!

The more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more gloomy his face became.If he didn't remember that Xiang Yuan was named by a sage, he really wanted to secretly find some people to teach him a lesson.

Suppressing his anger, he returned to the mansion, and when he saw Cheng Engong, Zhou Yi couldn't help complaining.

Cheng Engong fell silent when he heard the words, shook his head for a while, and said: "It's not only the saint who values ​​it, but Xiang Yuan is not easy to mess with. The King Qing party is still locked up in the sky prison for secret interrogation, and secretly listens for my father. In one or two days, if Xiang Yuan hadn't come to the Hejian Mansion, King Qing and his henchman Gao Minxing might not have been exposed so easily."

"If it wasn't for the sage who was afraid that the incident would make a big splash and stir up troubles in Beijing, how could someone like Xiang Yuan get the limelight!"

Zhou Yan was very unconvinced.

He considers himself to be a young talent, and he is also a leader among the younger generation in Kyoto, and he has always been quite conceited about it.It's a pity that such a resounding reputation, compared with Xiang Yuan's achievements in such a big event, was immediately reduced to scum.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still in the local area. Let him shake it in the capital and try it? Which one of the royal family is easy to mess with? Father, why don't we use our strength to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

Cheng Engong frowned, but shook his head for a while.

"Inappropriate. Now His Royal Highness is concerned about Xiang Yuan. If you can kill him with one blow, it's fine. Once the traces are exposed, our relationship with the crown prince will really be irretrievable."

Mentioning this, Zhou Yi became more and more unwilling.

"I think His Highness is confused. The dignified Duke Cheng'en's mansion does not rely on him, but he chooses to win over someone who has no background and no backing. Are we going to harm His Highness?"

"Yi'er, speak carefully!"

Zhou Yan shut his mouth reluctantly, seeing that Cheng Engong lost interest in talking, he had to leave first.

However, Zhou Yan looked at the slightly gloomy sky outside, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Even though his father refused to admit it at this time, in fact, his heart was shaken.Ever since the Queen's aunt passed away, it seemed as if their connection with His Royal Highness was about to be severed.The sage's attitude is also very strange. In the early years, he not only rejected his father's request that he would accompany the prince to read, but also expressed no dissatisfaction with the prince's apparent alienation from the Cheng'en government.

Saint, what is the plan?

Slowly walking down the corridor, Zhou Yan stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake that fell into the palm of his hand, watched him slowly melting in the palm of his hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered.

No matter what, Xiang Yuan must never be so close to the prince again!
