Chapter 142: Old Things in the Capital
Xuejian poured tea herself and sat aside with peace of mind. She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and naturally she wants to understand the problems left over from history.
"This is Xuejian's self-matched herbal tea." Seeing Wang Conhan sipping tea, he immediately frowned and took a few more sips before putting down the empty cup. Zhou Bo explained with a smile.
Wang Conghan nodded and motioned Xiao Xing to come over. Fang slowly said, "Xue... My sister-in-law has always been skillful, so I don't have to say anything. The light sweetness and a little bitterness in this tea blend together, but there is no conflict, which makes people feel refreshed after drinking it.
"I'm fine drinking." Zhou Bo's black eyes had a faint smile, "For this herbal tea, my father-in-law also contributed a lot. This summer, the whole house often drank this tea, and no one got heatstroke."
"In this way, this herbal tea also has such a fire-removing effect," a faint smile appeared on Wang's cold face. "It seems that a formula is indispensable for my brother."
"Do you still need to say that? Xuejian made people copy the recipe earlier. Zhou Bo heard the words and said with a smile, "She is only willing to work on such things."
"Brother-in-law Huizhi Lanxin, this is the blessing of Brother Bo." Wang Congerb rubbed his eyebrows, and there was a trace of fatigue on his angular face.
"I think you have come from afar and haven't had a rest in the county government. Why don't you take a medicinal bath first, then take a break, and then take a shower for you in the evening." Seeing this, Zhou Bo knew that he and Bai Yitian came back quickly. He was extremely tired and quickly called his servants over for a medicinal bath.
"Vinable! But Brother Bo, let them prepare later." Wang Conhan nodded and said, "Let's get to business first."
"Hmm." He winced and made Xiao Xing and others retreat. Xue Jian said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Conge waved his hand gently and sat upright again, which came to the point. "Brother Bo, what happened back then was really unusual."
"Let Xue see that there is nothing unusual about this." Xue Jian quickly took a sentence. Seeing that Zhou Bo just stared at her, she continued to say, "I don't know who Wudehou is, but in short, I absolutely know better than all of us what is taboo and what is disrespectful. Therefore, it can be seen that it is holy..."
"Give me another cup of herbal tea!"
"Would you like another cup of herbal tea?"
Wang Conghan and Zhou Bo said at the same time.
I am a stupid woman, but I really dare to throw gunpowder out! Fortunately, Wang Conghan was not an outsider, and Zhou Bo couldn't help wiping his cold sweat.
He didn't know that Wang Conghan's shock was much more than him. Such a transparent mind, such an accurate judgment,..., closed his eyes, and slowly opened his eyes. He took a look at the snow that had been married for half a year ago, and the snow was more beautiful day by day by day. Wang Conghan's clear eyes showed a trace of sadness. Brother Bo, there was such a How fortunate it is to be a wife.
Xue Jian spit out her tongue and picked up the teacup. Let me drink tea! Why am I so broken?
Zhou Bo simply sent Xue Jian to the kitchen to check today's lunch. Xue Jian curled his lips and retreated.
It turned out that although the Wudehou case was small, it soon faded out of everyone's sight. The world only envied his glory as Wudehou. Such a big event can also make today's saint open up on the Internet. Everyone said that she was a relative of the emperor and had made great achievements in the war, so the Empress Dowager also fell in love in private. Moreover, Wudehou is righteous in the world and sends his direct daughter and relatives, which is really the pillar of the country.
Xue Jian almost laughed and only covered his face with a fan. It's really April Fool's Day every day. Isn't this public too kind? What a direct daughter and relatives, what great achievements, cover up, is more ferocious than the male and female competition in the animal world.
Originally, I thought that this matter was going to calm down, but then, Wang turned from the cold end and said that people with intentions still knew a lot of doubts when they thought about it. As Xuejian just said, not to mention the respect of the Marquis of Wude, there is no clear reason for the taboos in the palace. How can she enter the disrespectful birthday gift on the Empress Dowager's birthday? One of them.
In addition, after the Spring Festival this year, another unknown common daughter of Wudehou was carried into the prince's mansion as the side concubine of the prince of Ding. The prince of Dingguo has no official concubine. It is reasonable to marry the side concubine, but it should be done silently. The reason is that this concubine should not be publicized. Anyway, everything is going well in Wudehou Mansion.
Originally, in the past six months, because there was no imperial concubine, the son of the world loved her a lot, but he also took care of the family and did not spoil her. Due to the embarrassment and physical condition, she has never attended the party of noble women in the capital, but there is still news that this concubine is as good as Princess Jinyang! Princess Jinyang is the most beautiful woman in the capital. No wonder the prince likes her like pearls like a treasure.
Fortunately, everyone still remembers that Princess Jinyang died in place of Chenglu Khan on the road to marriage, otherwise, I don't know what rumors will come out.
Wang Conghan originally investigated the group of tragic imperial merchants implicated by Wu Dehou, but these laces are easier to find out than the main topic, and it is also a small adjustment for this investigation.
After Wudehou's beloved daughter's accident, although the emperor understood the pain of losing his daughter and restored his title early, the Hou Mansion has been closed the door to thanking guests and acting low-key. Even the concubine's daughter was carried into the prince's mansion without informing any relatives and friends. I think so, how can the marriage of a common woman eliminate the shadow of the tragic death of her daughter?
As a result, the group of imperial merchants who were attached to the Marquis of Wude and were convicted did not worry about their lives, but because the Marquis of Wude closed the door to thank the guests, there was no statement that he wanted to release or discuss the punishment, so no one paid attention to it. These people all have some family backgrounds, and there are also guest rooms in prisons, and they have the right to give bonuses to the jailers.
The news brought by Wang Congeran seriously hit Zhou Bo's enthusiasm and hope. For the sake of the Zhou family, he could not even show any fragility. He took a look at Xuejian and then thought of the story Xuejian had told before.
"Brother, there is a story here. I don't know if you have heard of it?" Zhou Bo looked up, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes. "The story is about a big house..."
The story told by Xuejian is called Dazhaimen, in which there is a master who was put to death for being implicated in royal grudges. If the second grandmother of the family had not used the method of Li Daitao, then there would have been no hope of the white master later.
Zhou Bo stretched out his head, approached Wang Conghan, and told the story slowly with a smile.
Wang Conghan's eyes became brighter and brighter, "This second grandmother is really a character. What a good way! There are only two key points, one is people and the other is silver. However, I also want to know that with silver, people are no longer a problem. Anyway, this is not the sin of beheading, so it is easier to do.
The Zhou family's most indispensable thing is silver. Originally, Wang Conghan asked Zhou Bo to prepare some money to make some money up and down, but now that he has a new idea, he can shock less people.
"Young master, the young lady asked the maidservant to come and tell the young master that it's time for lunch." Xiao Xing outside the door opened his mouth.
Zhou Bo looked up and said, "Told grandma that we will be there soon."
"Yes." Xiao Xing bowed and replied.
Zhou Bo heard this, stood up and smiled, "Since Xuejian is ready, they are also waiting for Yitian. Let's come back and talk about the details."
"It's okay." After all, when there was a plan in their hearts, both of them became cheerful and walked to the dining room, talking and laughing as they walked.
"You two are just lingling, which makes people wait!" In the dining room, Bai Yitian said angrily.
Xu Cong'an smiled. The food on the table was made by Xuejian himself. Xuejian saw that this girl is getting more and more lazy now, and she rarely cooks in person. She only looks at her color and smells it, which has made people move her index finger. In fact, not only Bai Yitian, but also he can't wait to chopsticks.
"They are all our own people. Why don't you be polite? Just eat well by yourself." Zhou Bo looked around with a smile on his face. Xue Jian was not in the hall and thought he had gone back to the backyard.
"Say it earlier!" Bai Yitian is not polite. He put down his chopsticks like electricity and starts to start step by step.
Wang Conghan couldn't bear to look at him, only glanced at the other two people with a smile, and then said faintly, "The weather has entered midsummer, but your hall is a little cool. I think there is a lot of ice, right?"
"My daughter is careful. I'm afraid that I won't break the ice all summer." Xu Cong'an's voice was not high and he was arrogant, which made everyone here happy.
Zhou Bo said with a smile when he was in a good mood because of the big stone in his heart, "Xuejian filial piety to his father-in-law, that's exactly what he deserves. Yitian, don't stare at me. I know you are helping Brother Sui with his business outside, so this summer, there is no shortage of my herbal tea and ice in your house. Don't worry.
"What's wrong with me?" Bai Yitian ate even more happily, "In the future, Brother Bo will be at home in peace, and I will be more relieved!"
"Yitian is used to being lazy and slippery. Be careful when you hear it and curse again." Xu Cong'an couldn't help pointing at him.
Everyone laughed together, but forgot the rules of silence.
