Chapter 432 Return to Yanggu

After another long night of fighting, Master Li had to clean up the battlefield himself because he couldn't be exposed. He couldn't let others see his flaws. He was tired and happy at the same time.

In her sleep, she felt someone caressing her cheek. Li Shishi opened her eyes in confusion. When she saw the little white fat man in front of her clearly, she was excited and was about to get up: "Guan's family."

"No need to be polite, just lie down, I just came to see you." Zhao Ji stopped him with a gentle voice.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Seeing her sleepy look, Zhao Ji shook his head and smiled: "Today I heard a good poem spread among the people. I want to tell you to listen to it, and it will make you feel at ease."

"The officials all said yes, I think the poem is very good." She complimented her as usual and didn't think much about it, but after Zhao Ji recited it, her eyes widened.

Noticing her surprised look, Zhao Ji recited the last sentence, shook his head and said: "It seems that Master also thinks this word is very good, and I don't know who this person is. There is no news about such a good word, and it is only spread by word of mouth." , it became popular in Bianjing in just one day and night, but that person is really a good woman in the dim light. "

Master Li smiled like a flower: "What the officials said is true." Only she knew that the words were written for her.

Zhao Ji continued to talk for a while, but when he saw that she was no longer as energetic as when she just listened to the words, she held on drowsily and sighed: "Okay, you can take a good rest. I'm leaving." After that, he simply held on. turned and left.

Seeing Zhao Ji leave, Li Shishi turned over and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with big eyes, thinking about the future.

She really wanted to go with her lover, but she couldn't. She was raised by Zhao Ji, and her husband worked for Zhao Ji, so it was difficult to talk to others. But since she was concerned, she didn't want to follow Zhao Ji. She was dirty in the past, but she wanted to be clean in the future. But if Zhao Ji was an ordinary person, it would be fine. He was the most noble emperor of the Song Dynasty. What could she do if she was a weak woman?

Although her husband had already told her that she would not care if she had to, she still wanted to leave the best of herself to her husband. But she is helpless, she is a weak woman and cannot help herself...

She thought about her beloved, who should be far away from Bianjing now. Although she said she would come often, she also knew that it was not easy to get back and forth even though they were far apart. But she looked forward to the day that would always come: tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day.

She wanted to think more about it, but she was too tired and fell asleep without thinking...

The trip out was not in vain. I also bought a lot of things, as well as several carts of rewards from Zhao Ji. I formed a convoy and walked back slowly. Wang Yan couldn't bear the long journey, so he took two of his men and rode hard all the way. It took him three days to finally return to Wangjiazhuang.

"My boss."

"High official."

The return of the head of the family is, of course, a big event. Everyone in the house came out to pick up anyone who had nothing to do.

"Okay, okay, I've only been out for half a month, and I haven't done anything big. Wherever you have to mobilize people like this, just do your own thing, do your own thing." Wang Yan dismissed everyone with a smile, and walked into the house with a smile. Hehehe looked at Wu Song who was a little fatter: "Erlang, it seems that you and your wife are getting along very well. You look fatter. Is it because you don't have time to practice martial arts recently?"

Of course it is easy for Wu Song to find a partner, and besides, he has already been scouted before. After Wu Dalang got married last year, Wu Song's life-long affairs were settled in just two months. She is the daughter of a scholar's family. She is literate and has good manners. She is better than an ordinary peasant girl. Therefore, Wu Song has already spent several months in the days when women know whether he is hot or cold. Now it seems that it is not that Wu Song does not love women, but that he has no chance.

Originally, at the time of the original drama, Wu Dalang was about to go on a blind date with his good brother. If Pan Jinlian hadn't had any trouble, it would have been time for her to get married. Later, Pan Jinlian's incident cast a shadow on Wu Song, and during the Yuanyang Tower incident, the maid betrayed him, and his good impression of the woman disappeared. I became a traveler again and went to Liangshan. In Liangshan, every contestant was either a contestant who killed his wife to achieve enlightenment, or a king of the mountain who seized the wives of others, or others who only cared about brotherly loyalty. In that kind of environment, how can the atmosphere in Liangshan be improved?

When Wu Song was eating wine from a big bowl, eating meat in large chunks, and dividing gold and silver on a big scale, how could he think about women?

Wu Song felt a little embarrassed when he heard what the senior official said: "It is true that he is a little lazy. Don't worry, senior official. Even so, it will not affect Wu Song's fighting. When my wife's family stabilizes, Wu Song can practice martial arts with peace of mind."

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, the old housekeeper Wang Fusheng explained: "My boss, the wife of Erlang's family is pregnant. My boss found out about it the day after he went to Bianjing."

Looking at the grinning Wu Song, the official patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, yes, if you give birth to a boy, I can safely let you go out to work. How is your brother? Is there any news? "

"Not yet." Wu Song shook his head and said: "The doctor in our house has looked at it. He said that my brother was born with a defect and it would be difficult to have a child. Moreover, my brother and sister-in-law were also worried, fearing that the child would be like my brother. It doesn’t grow that way.”

Is it hereditary? This worry is very correct. Wang Yan said with a smile: "It is not easy to conceive a child. Why worry about what happens after the child is born? Just let nature take its course. If he is really like your brother, there is no need to worry. He is a boy. If she is a girl, my Wang family will take care of her."

"Thank you, sir."

Waving his hand, Wang Yan turned to the old housekeeper and asked about the various matters during this period. Most of them were business matters, and some flatterers came to give gifts for the Lantern Festival, and some guards who came to seek food because of their reputation. Others were letters from Wang Rongchun, who was in charge of Suzhou affairs, reporting the progress of various affairs. Apart from these, there was nothing else.

After all, he went to Bianjing and came back in just half a month. The affairs before the New Year had been arranged long ago. He was relying on Zhao Ji to do business, so there were not so many troubles. The reason why he was anxious to come back was that he didn't want to hang out in Bianjing, a place of right and wrong. Just like Tong Guan sent him a letter, in fact, during the time he was in Bianjing, there were not only Tong Guan, but also other high-ranking officials who wanted to win him over. Money can move people's hearts, and how many people can really avoid it.

Wang Fusheng talked a lot, and looked at the senior official who was drinking water and said, "There is one more thing that I want to let the boss know."

"Yes."

"There is a Dulonggang near Liangshan in Jeju. At the foot of Dulonggang, there is a landlord named Hu, who is quite wealthy. His tenants and guards can also mobilize hundreds of strong men, and he is considered a local tyrant. That Hu Taigong has a little girl, who is a few years younger than the boss. I heard that she is very beautiful..."

The old housekeeper emphasized the word "very beautiful" and said it meaningfully.

Glancing at Wu Song who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, the master shook his head and said, "What's the purpose of Uncle Fu telling me this?"

"Boss, it's not that I'm nosy, but our business has dealings with the Hu family. A few days ago, I met the son of Mr. Hu, named Hu Cheng, who said that his little sister was young and beautiful, and that the boss only had a concubine but no wife, and he wanted to introduce his sister to the boss." Wang Fusheng said earnestly, "Later, I sent someone to inquire, and the little girl of the Hu family was indeed beautiful. Although she was not as beautiful as the eldest lady, she was only three points behind, and she was extraordinary. Fortunately, she was good at martial arts and was used to wielding swords and guns. Ordinary people could not defeat her. But Hu Cheng was hiding something. The daughter of the Hu family was related to Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhu Chaofeng from the neighboring Zhujiazhuang. Seeing the rise of our Wang family, she wanted to get close to them.

However, the old servant thought that this matter was fine. If it weren't for the good management of the Dong family in recent years, it would be far-fetched for the Wang family to get close to the Hu family. Now that our Wang family has such a large business, although the Hu family is much worse, it can still match the Dong family and become the mistress of the Wang family.

This time, the Dong family went to Beijing to meet the emperor. The old servant thought that with the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver offered by the Dong family, the government would grant a marriage. Now it seems that merchants are a lowly business and are not in the eyes of the government, so I told the Dong family. "

Wang Yan nodded to show that he knew. There were many people who wanted to get close to him, so it was normal for someone to come out and propose marriage.

But to be honest, he didn't consider the matter of being the mistress of the house. Because if she became the mistress, she would become the queen in the future. He didn't care much about these things, but the women did. This was artificially creating contradictions, causing discord in the harem, and causing trouble for himself.

Of course, if Zhao Ji granted the marriage, then there would be nothing to say. To give Zhao Ji face, he would definitely be the son-in-law. But he was only the son-in-law, not others. This time Zhao Ji did not grant the marriage, not because he looked down on merchants, but his mother had hundreds of thousands of strings of money to support him, and the garden and palace were well built, so how could he look down on him. It was just that Zhao Ji did not have a daughter of the right age. His eldest daughter, Princess Jiafu Zhao Yupan, was only thirteen years old this year, which was obviously not suitable. Otherwise, Zhao Ji would definitely want to be his father more than anyone else.

If other ministers in the court or daughters of the royal family were pointed to Wang Yan, it would be to take the initiative to give him the opportunity to form cliques. The two elements of making trouble are people and money. Zhao Ji was an emperor with brains, not a fool, so how could he do such a thing.

He himself avoided those officials who approached him, so how could he look for a good match. And for him, it didn't matter whether he had a wife or not, it was enough to have a son to inherit the family business. Even the fact that he had a son was because he needed it. He didn't care about that much, as long as he had a woman...

"Uncle Fu, it doesn't matter whether there is a legal wife or not, the son is there anyway, there is a person who can carry on the family business, and there will be more children in the future. As for this little girl from the Hu family, since she is beautiful and has similar interests..." Wang Yan looked at the old housekeeper and smiled, "Go and talk to the Hu family and let her be my concubine."

"Yes, Master." Wang Fusheng nodded in agreement without hesitation. It was his duty to worry about the master's family. Now that the big official said that the legal wife didn't matter, what else could he say? It was the right thing to arrange for a concubine and give birth to more boys.

Wang Yan didn't give any more instructions. The old housekeeper was not a good person and did things properly. The Hu family would definitely agree, and the Zhu family would definitely have no objection. It was just a matter of time.

Seeing that the master wanted to take another concubine, who was the daughter of a landlord, Wu Song bowed his hands and congratulated her, and then said: "Master, Wu Song also has something to say."

"Say it."

"A few days ago, I went to the state government to report that the military commander Dong Ping invited me to a drink. He praised the master very much and wanted to be his running dog."

Dong Ping, nicknamed the double-gun general, ranked fifteenth in Liangshan and was one of the five tiger generals of the cavalry. He also had a nickname of Dong Yizhuang, and his strength was still sufficient. However, this kid was not a human being. When Song Jiang and Lu Junyi competed for the position of the eldest brother, Dong Ping was captured and surrendered. He tricked the city gate to open the Liangshan army and horses to plunder the city, and killed the Cheng Taishou and took his daughter as his wife. It was quite bad.

Wang Yan looked at Wang Fusheng on the side: "This Dong Ping is the military commander of Yunzhou. Have you contacted him before?"

"Dong Ping received all the New Year gifts and also gave gifts in return. But he seemed unwilling to associate with my Wang family before. I don't know why he suddenly came to me now."

"It should be because he is a powerful official and has been summoned by me, so he clings to him." Wu Song said, "His martial arts are good. I have fought with him. He fought with me for a long time before he was defeated. He lived up to his reputation." . I told him about the official's schedule. He has been staying in the city for the past few days, waiting for news about the official. "

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Bring him to see me tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

"Is there anything else?" Seeing the two men shaking their heads, the official waved his hand: "Then go and do your own business."

After that, he drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and left, turned right when he went out and entered the backyard. It's not good for the house to be too big. There is a garden between the front hall and the main house in the backyard. He walked for a while and then entered the main room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jin Lian holding a child, looking at him with gleaming eyes: "Guanren..."

Pan Jinlian is talented. She didn't know how to attract men before, but since she became a concubine with a high official, she learned it without any teacher and became proficient in it. She doesn't have many messy sentiments. She just knows what the official likes, so she will do it.

Wang Yan stepped forward and hugged Jin Lian, holding the child in one hand: "I haven't seen you for half a month, how are you?"

Jin Lian seemed to have no bones, clinging to the official's arms: "Everything is fine, I just miss the official so much in my heart."

After taking over the pouting little one, the three of them entered the east room and sat down at the table. Wang Yan smiled and listened to Jin Lian's murmurs. The child was ready to eat, sucked and bit. He made a few more clothes, bought a few pairs of tiger shoes, recognized a few more words, and listened to the little maid read a few books. Books, quite busy. The senior official listened with a smile, and after she finished speaking, he told her about what he had seen in Bianjing. He was a good storyteller, speaking in plain language, which made Jin Lian yearn for it. If your children are older, you should take them to go shopping together.

It was almost evening when I got home, and I listened to the old housekeeper's report, and here I listened to Jin Lian's chatter, and in a blink of an eye there was no sunshine outside.

Realizing that it was getting late, Jin Lian's pretty face was full of spring, and her eyes were sparkling: "The official has been riding hard all the way, and he is covered in dust. I think he is tired. Why don't we eat earlier, and the slave family will wait for the official to take a bath and rest..."

The woman wanted to talk about her thoughts, but no high-ranking official would refuse. She immediately had food and wine served, and the little girl was given to the maid to take care of. The two of them ate and drank lovingly, and then took a bath and washed themselves.

Uh-huh, hey, humming softly, it is the endless love that Jinlian cannot express in words...
