Chapter 4928 Mei Niang: You can use my husband, but you can’t steal it!
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, heavy snow began to fall.
The mountains that lie across the north of Guanzhong block the cold winds that howl from the far north. Even if there is heavy snow in Guanzhong, there is no biting cold wind, and the climate is relatively warm.
Government officials and patrolmen from Jingzhao Prefecture and Wannian and Chang'an counties were dispatched to cooperate with the personnel gathered in various places to clear the snow on the streets and alleys in just one day. The cold air and clean streets were The city appearance and the whole city are all ready to welcome the New Year.
In Chongren Square and in front of Liang Guogong's Mansion, there is an endless stream of vehicles coming from various families to send New Year gifts. However, at this time, most of them are the stewards of each family coming on behalf of the family head. He is only a bastard, so although it is lively, there is no need for a house. Jun personally came out to entertain, but it was quiet.
In addition, it is still within Emperor Taizong's filial piety period, and most of the cumbersome New Year rituals in each household have been reduced. Even the royal family only has rituals such as offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors that cannot be abolished, so the whole city does not look the same as in previous years. Lively, the atmosphere of the New Year is slightly reduced...
Even Fang Xuanling and his wife, Fang Yizhi, who was still recovering from his injuries, and Xiao Shuer were informed by Fang Jun's letter that the situation in the capital was unstable, so they stayed in Huating Town for several years and did not return to Beijing.
At the beginning of the morning, the side door of Liang Guogong's Mansion opened. Fang Jun, wearing a brocade robe and a mink hat, led dozens of soldiers and rode out of the side door. He went to the street and accelerated his horses. He left the square gate and headed east from Chunming. Exit the city, cross Baqiao, follow the official road all the way south to Lantian, and pick up Wu Meiniang, who has returned from Luoyang to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year...
When they arrived at Lantian Post, Wu Meiniang's motorcade had not arrived, but the postmaster who had received the news had already led his postmen to wait in line at the roadside. Seeing Fang Jun and his entourage arriving, he hurried forward to greet them with smiles.
"It's cold today. Your Majesty has prepared hot tea and cakes. You might as well go to the inn to rest for a while."
Fang Jun reined in his horse and stood still, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "In this case, it will cause trouble for you all."
He has never had any official airs, and is very approachable when dealing with lower officials. Moreover, he has always been in awe of the profession of "post soldiers". He always feels that these people are like tigers in the plains and dragons in the shallows. Once the fortune comes, When you arrive, it will skyrocket and become a wind and rain...
Lantian Station is one of the most important stations on the Shangyu Road. It guards the key points in and out of Guanzhong and is a hub for the transmission of information and materials, so it is very large.
After entering the inn, there was a house close to the gate. There was a charcoal pot burning inside and it was as warm as spring. Tea and cakes had been prepared. Fang Jun took a sip and found it to be very good.
However, it is not surprising that those who can serve as postmasters in Guanzhong are mostly descendants of noble families and noble military generals. Although these people do not have much say in the family, they are of extraordinary origin and have a good life.
After drinking a few cups of tea and eating two pastries, some soldiers came to report that they had seen their motorcade.
Fang Jun put on his mink hat and cloak and walked out of the house. He happened to see a motorcade coming from the distance in the valley of the official road...
Fang Jun and his troops all mounted their horses and moved forward to greet him.
The two sides met in the middle of the road, and Fang Junce immediately walked up to the luxuriously decorated four-wheeled carriage in the middle. He saw the curtains of the carriage opened, revealing a pretty face with pink cheeks and rosy cheeks.
His eyes were as full as water, containing concern: "It's freezing cold, why did you come here?"
Fang Jun chuckled: "My wife went to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation of the company. It can be said that she has worked hard and achieved great results. I am here to greet you as my own person to show my respect."
"Bah!"
Wu Meiniang spat, with a smile as bright as a flower and said: "Glib, get in the car quickly, let's go back together."
Fang Jun did not dismount, but looked back and said, "I'm going with the Duke of Da'an County. Let's talk after we go home."
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed and she said softly: "Here."
Then he lowered the curtain.
Fang Jun rode directly to the rear. He held his hands on the horse from a distance and said loudly: "I've seen Sikong. Are you okay?"
One man rode forward and returned the salute with a wry smile: "I was fine before, and I hope I will be fine again."
This man was about fifty years old, his well-kept face was full of weathered color, and his brows could not hide the sadness. He was Yan Lide, the official of Da'an County who was responsible for the construction of the Eastern Capital.
Yan Lide was first responsible for the construction of the Xianling Mausoleum, and then the Zhaoling Mausoleum. Later, he was ordered by the emperor to build the Eastern Capital, and the task of building the Zhaoling Mausoleum was handed over to his younger brother Yan Liben, Minister of Industry. When the Zhaoling case broke out, the Yan brothers were inevitably involved. Yan Lide had to temporarily stop his affairs in Luoyang and return to Chang'an for review.
I happened to be traveling with Wu Meiniang's motorcade returning to Chang'an...
As a supervisor who once built the Zhaoling Mausoleum, he naturally knows how serious the Zhaoling case that broke out is. Even if he has nothing to do, he will not be able to escape accountability, so he said "I hope everything will be fine in the future". I want to be "okay", How difficult is it?
Fang Jun said softly: "This case is serious, but Your Majesty does not want to be involved in it."
As long as Yan Lide himself can stand up and is not involved in false accounting and sharing of stolen goods, he will at most be shouldering the responsibility for poor supervision, which is no big deal...
Yan Lide felt relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you, Taiwei."
Involving such a big case, Fang Jun was able to reveal the information in front of his supervisor, which was a big favor.
"It's cold in winter, and it's even more difficult to do business on the road. Why does the county magistrate ride on horseback instead of riding in a carriage? It's no joke if you catch the wind and cold."
"The air in the car is unbearable, my back is sore after a long journey, and the road is bumpy and difficult to walk on. It's better to ride on a horse, because it's too cold."
"Then let's go together, just in time to chat with the county magistrate."
"The Taiwei is a master of poetry and poetry, and his study attainments are of the highest quality in the world. I am just about to ask for advice."
……
The convoy returned to Chang'an, and after entering Chunming Gate, they parted ways. Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang returned to Chongrenfang, and Yan Lide went straight to Wannian County Government before he could go home to be examined.
Back house.
Princess Gao Yang, Wu Meiniang, and Jin Shengman were sitting on the mat in front of the window, holding hands, very happy.
Jin Shengman's pretty face was full of yearning: "Sister Mei Niang, isn't Luoyang very prosperous? When I was in Silla, I heard that Tang Tu has 'two capitals, east and west, rich and noble'. If you have time, take me to see it!"
But then he felt a little annoyed: "But it will definitely not work next year."
Wu Meiniang looked at her still flat belly and said in surprise: "Is this... done?"
"Yeah."
Jin Shengman was a little shy, but more of a happy person, with a glow on her pretty face: "I didn't notice it before, but I felt unwell. After the doctor checked my pulse, I found out that it has been three months, and the delivery date is probably between June and July. .”
"What a great joy!"
Wu Meiniang was sincerely happy for this Silla princess. A princess who had lost her country and left her homeland to go to Chang'an. Not only did she bid farewell to her birthplace, she even became a concubine of a powerful person. Although the Fang family had never treated her badly, let alone gave her half a cent. He feels wronged, but how can he tell others about the sourness, depression and loneliness in his heart?
Now that I am pregnant and will give birth to an heir in the future, I can truly take root in Chang'an and the Fang family, and I will have comfort and support in my heart.
Immediately, Wu Meiniang looked at Princess Gaoyang and asked in a low voice: "When I was in Luoyang, I heard some rumors about the husband and Princess Baling, but I don't know whether it is true or false?"
Princess Gaoyang is a big-hearted person and doesn't care about this at all: "So what if it's true or false? It's just a greedy cat stealing food outside to try something new. If Baling can't enter Fang Jun's door, what's the point?" What about relationships?”
Since the Sui Dynasty, the social atmosphere has been extremely open, and things between men and women have long been commonplace and not surprising.
Jin Shengman also said: "People don't care about Duke Qiao, so why should we be surprised?"
Wu Meiniang sighed helplessly: "You two are really big-hearted. I don't care about my husband playing with women outside, but the problem is that Princess Baling's identity is unusual. She is the princess of the Tang Dynasty! What do you think about our husband's preferences? Don’t know?”
"Good princess", everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty knows it...
Seeing the two of them deep in thought, Wu Meiniang whispered: "What if Chai Lingwu feels humiliated and intolerable, and one day goes to beg Your Majesty to allow him to reconcile, then wouldn't Princess Baling be the same as His Royal Highness Changle? Mr. Jia Lang has always been a man of friendship, so he married Princess Baling out of necessity.”
When she said this, Princess Gao Yang and Jin Shengman suddenly became nervous.
It's okay for a man to mess around outside, but it's completely different if he marries his mistress back!
Moreover, Baling and Changle are different. Changle has no heirs, and the first child is Lang Jun's. But Baling has already given birth to a child with Chai Lingwu. If Baling comes in, it is impossible for her to completely sever ties with the child. Isn't it troublesome?
It may even involve the inheritance of the family business in the future. Changle's child belongs to Lang Jun, and no one has any opinion on how much the child should be divided into. But if Baling brings the child over, he will have the right to inherit according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty... Why?
Jin Shengman said: "Princess Baling would rather bear the reputation of being 'unfaithful' and be constantly involved with the husband. This shows that she may not only be coveting the power of the husband. After all, the husband is so excellent in all aspects, which makes her eat her marrow." It is possible to know the taste, be unable to extricate yourself, and have deep roots of love!”
Princess Gao Yang quickly held Wu Meiniang's hand and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
In the back house of the Fang family, Princess Gaoyang has the highest status, but Wu Meiniang is the "dog-headed military advisor" who has to let her make the decision no matter what happens. After all, even the head of the family, Fang Xuanling, attaches great importance to her opinion.
Wu Mei Niang's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura filled the air. She snorted coldly and said: "I'll find an opportunity to talk to her. If it's just a casual relationship, that's it. From time to time, I can lend her husband to her to relax her body and mind." It doesn’t matter, it won’t wear out... But if you want to see Shu and covet it, don’t blame me for being ruthless and ruthless!”
For the weak Princess Baling, she has a hundred ways to concoct her, which will definitely ruin her reputation and make her irrecoverable.
As long as you use my man, that's all. But if you want to be strong, that's just a dream! (End of chapter)
