There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 258

In the late autumn of September, Dayan Nan; fly.

The candidates from the south entered Beijing, and the inns in Beijing got rich. The imperial examination every three years made the inns and renters in Beijing a small fortune.

Wu Youwei also has a house in central Beijing, and he just rented it out at the moment. He is also a budget-conscious person, so he rented the house to more than [-] students from Jiangsu at one go, and let them live together. People can live there too.

Wu Youwei married his younger sister again, and he was in a bad mood, so he whispered to Wantong: "I can't bear it!"

Wan Tongdao: "As long as you don't give up on me, I will be willing to give up on anyone."

Wu Youwei rolled on the kang: "I have to marry another next month!"

At the same time, Xiao Xiao and Lian Er's marriage is also on the agenda, which will be at the end of February next year.

The place has been selected, because Xiaoxiao is now in charge of the accounts of the Overseas Building Middle Building and the Dechuan Hot Pot and BBQ Restaurant, Wu Youwei simply bought him a small house in Beijing. Xiaoxiao bought a house.

The betrothal gift and dowry were given together by Wu Youwei, and the small household registration registered "Wu Xiao", settled in Wujia Village, and of course, also included in the Wu family tree.

It's just not recorded as a direct branch, but a member of a side branch.

In addition, several partners are very polite to Xiaoxiao, and there are a few employees who help Xiaoxiao study with him, which gives Xiaoxiao more opportunities to learn.

"Then get married!" Wantong thought to himself, it would be better if they were all married!

There are so many beautiful women wandering around him every day, can I not worry about it.

Two days after this matter was finished, Concubine Wan summoned Wantong, and together with Wanxi, began to ask him: "When do you plan to get married?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Wantong said sullenly, unhappy.

"You used to be busy, I understand, I can't help our family, you can support the eldest sister even if you climb up, but now the eldest sister's concubine position is stable, and the two princesses are cuter than the other, what else do you need to be busy with?" Is it?" Wanxi said: "Your sister-in-law showed you a few ladies, but you didn't agree, what do you want?"

Wan Zhen'er also felt that his younger brother couldn't do it like this, he was almost thirty, so he couldn't procrastinate like this. Although men don't care as much about the flowering period as women, it's not okay to procrastinate and not get married!

There should always be a woman to take care of the family.

The forced marriages had begun.

Wantong was depressed: "I don't want to get married."

"Why don't you get married?" Wanxi said unhappily: "If you have a sweetheart, just tell it. With your current official position, the princess can marry you. If not, I will ask the elder sister to pick a lady for you. Give marriage."

"No." Wantong shook his head: "I don't want to get married, and don't give it to me, I will refuse it.

"Why?" Wan Zhen'er looked at Wantong softly: "You...don't want to get married, or do you have a special status in your heart?"

Wan Xi also looked at Wantong immediately: "Could it be that you like...the oiran lady in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion?"

"No." Wantong still shook his head.

"Then...a married woman??" Wan Zhen'er guessed boldly, her face turned pale.

"Eldest sister!" Wantong glared angrily, "I can't finish my daily errands, where can I meet the lady in the back house?"

Wan Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't have it. I'm not worried about you... You didn't experience it when our family was poor. Now that life is better and you are older, just say whoever you like. "

I fell in love with Wu Youwei, what can I say?

Thinking of Wu Youwei, Wantong thought of a reason: no!

Isn't Wu Youwei just such a foolish butler Lin Su?The old man still hates Dafang...

"Even if it's a poor peasant girl!" Wan Xi also said, "Our family doesn't pick anyone, as long as the person comes from a clean background."

"I don't care about looks." Wan Zhen'er also said: "It doesn't matter how good-looking you are.

The harem is much more beautiful, isn't the emperor also rare?I spend more time visiting her and her two daughters than going to the harem every day.

"I'll think about it." Wantong lowered his head and thought for a while, "But before I give you the approval letter, you can't give me a marriage."

Once the marriage is granted, it will be troublesome.

Wu Youwei was able to avoid marrying a wife and accepting concubines for him, how could he bear his deep affection?

Wan Zhen'er kept the brothers for a meal, and the eldest and younger princesses also came out to meet their uncles. The eldest uncle Wanxi just put gold jewelry for the two princesses. In his eyes, gold is the best.

The little uncle gave each princess a jade hairpin in the shape of a lotus flower, which is very smart and beautiful.

The little princess is now white and tender, a small ball, which makes people feel soft like cotton when looking at it; the big princess is now having fun, pretending to be an adult even though she is a little doll.

After eating happily, the two brothers left the palace. Wanxi was very concerned about his younger brother's marriage, but Wantong had other plans.

He didn't go home directly. After sending his eldest brother home, he went to Beizhen Fusi and found his team.

Now he is the governor, and there are only three officials above him, one is the commander, and now he is in front of the good old man Yuan Bin; One of them was a Mongolian Ha Ming.

However, he is not in Beijing all the year round, and travels between the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall. He is a Mongolian, and his language is more convenient.

Then there is him, the governor.

He and Bai Zhen are both town appeasement envoys, but they are at odds if not tit for tat.

Now that Concubine Bai has received the mercy of the emperor, he is about to deal with Bai Zhen.

Wu Youwei waited for him to come back at home, and Wantong said to him after he came back: "I will go on a business trip in a few days, if you have something to do, go to Wanfu, he can do anything for you.

Although Wanfu is the housekeeper, he is the representative of Wantong, and no one will give face.

"I know." Wu Youwei said: "You should also be careful, you have to keep the things given to you close to your body.

As long as that thing is alive, it can save a life!

"Of course." Wantong thought for a while: "You remember, as long as I don't tell you what happened, don't believe what others say.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Wu Youwei thought about it, what the hell!

Isn't this how those scumbag male protagonists in later generations of TV dramas fooled people when they wanted to deceive kind female protagonists?

Then the hostess waited for him foolishly, but he turned around and married another woman...

"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Wantong felt uncomfortable being looked at by Wu Youwei.

"You won't marry a wife behind my back, will you?" Wu Youwei said immediately, "Let me be your lover later?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wantong couldn't laugh or cry: "I just didn't want to marry a wife, so I thought of a way to make others think I was hurt, no, so that my elder brother and elder sister won't force me to marry a wife gone."

"I've been here for so many years, why do I want to tell you this all of a sudden?" Wu Youwei didn't quite understand.

"A few years ago I had an excuse to dispel their thoughts. In the past two years, my elder sister's concubine position has become more and more stable, and two princesses survived, especially the eldest princess. Although she is a girl, she is The emperor's first child is naturally doted on. Even if I don't want to get married, there are some people who want to marry the Wan family." Wantong pulled Wu Youwei over and hugged him and sat on the grand teacher's chair: "The eldest sister summoned today, and the eldest brother Asking about my marriage with her, I used to be able to prevaricate, but I am getting older every year, and there is no woman in my family, not even a concubine, they are all in a hurry."

"Then you...?" Wu Youwei's whole body was stiff. In this era, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have elders, but Wantong can't, especially his elder sister is Concubine Wan, the future Concubine Wan Gui, Wan Guifei after death. imperial concubine.

Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen's favorite woman.

Once Concubine Wan concubine asked, even Emperor Xianzong would not refuse, not to mention, from the perspective of people of this era, Wantong should indeed get married, because the ancients paid attention to "standing at thirty"!

"I thought of a way, listen..." Wantong hugged him and whispered to him for a while.

"Is it okay?" Wu Youwei's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Of course!" Wan Tao said, "In this way, there will be no future troubles!"

Isn't that right? In this way, it is really "never trouble".

"But..." Wu Youwei struggled for a moment: "What if the emperor lets you serve in the palace?"

Wantong's face darkened.

Xinyou, shake Shaanxi hunger.

The food for relief is still from Jiangnan, and the double-cropping rice over there gave them an extra season of food, which is more than enough for Shaanxi.

Double-cropping rice has been successful in the south, while triple-cropping rice is still under development.

Coupled with the bumper harvest in autumn, the court and the people were all beaming, but soon, troubles came.

Renshen issued an edict to blame himself for the earthquake and star change, and ordered the officials to repair the province.

The appearance of comets was an ominous sign in ancient times.

This cast a shadow over Daming in late autumn.

The impeachment of incompetent ministers by Dong Min, Yu Shi Hu Shen and others involved business affairs.

"Why?" Wu Youwei was stunned: "The appearance of a comet in the sky is not what Mr. Shang likes?"

"Isn't it because Shang Ge's elders touched their interests." Wantong pouted: "Censor Lin Cheng attacked Shang Ren for participating in the replacement of princes, so he is not suitable for appointment, let alone serving as elders.

"Then what does the emperor say?" Wu Youwei was worried, Shang Ren was actually very insightful, and his eight things were actually analyzed in detail, and they were indeed strategies for strengthening the country.

"What else can I say?" Wantong sighed: "The emperor is not a partial listener.

As a result, a few days later, when Wu Youwei was tasting tea with Li Dongyang and the others, he heard that Shang Lu Shang Ge was impeached and asked to resign.

He is a person whose official career has been bumpy and bumpy, and he is a little discouraged. He is pointed at his nose and made irresponsible remarks at such an advanced age. Even if he is an old man, he feels aggrieved!

"Shang Ge is always a loyal person, and Lin Yushi is simply looking for trouble!" Li Dongyang is very optimistic about Shang Ge's old man: "And Dong Min and others are also like dogs. The emperor said that the previous court's affairs No need to mention it, they always say that if you don’t talk for a day, you won’t be able to hold back!”

Several people were complaining about Shang Ren, and Wu Youwei also felt that Mr. Shang was really pitiful. In later generations, people at such an age would have to retire. Who would dare not give the old leader face?As a result, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it was just like the four elders who were criticized during the Cultural Revolution, it was too miserable.

Emperor Xianzong also had the same idea as Wu Youwei. Because Emperor Xianzong was angry, how could his valued Ge Lao be so slandered?

So Wantong was ordered to question those who spoke up in the court: "Find out and teach me a lesson, so that they can find trouble again!"

Jiashen, Dong Min, Yu Shi Hu Shen and other nine people in the matter, please stop Shang Ren and the Minister of Rites Yao Kui, put them in prison, and stick them.

Wantong rushed to do it, but it was too big of a move. As soon as Jin Yiwei was dispatched, there was a sudden panic in the court. Shang Ren, as the elder of the pavilion, how could he not know?

So Shang Ren had no choice but to ask Emperor Xianzong to clarify: "I once asked for preferential treatment for those who spoke out, but now I blame them when I talk about it. How can I explain public opinion?"

Shang Ren's official career was very bumpy. For a veteran who has gone through four dynasties, his words are resounding, and at the same time, his vision is unmatched by others.

Emperor Xianzong thought for a while, do you mind if this is Shang Ge?In fact, it was also for his own good, so the unhappy mood finally became happy. Although he still hated Dong Min and others, he recruited Wantong, asked him to release them, and gave each of them a cane to restore his official position.

Only then did the turmoil settle down.

And those people went to the imperial prison, Wantong didn't let them do anything, just shut them up, and took good care of food, drink, and other things. It's not so much an imperial prison as a prison-like hotel.

However, the atmosphere in the prison is still very majestic. After these people came out, they knew what was good or bad, but they calmed down for a while.

Soon Shang Ren was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and others could see that the emperor really valued Shang Ren...
