Chapter 382

Guo Zirong's performance did not surprise Shen Wuming, or it was exactly the same as his previous performance.

As for Tuoba Long, he was also reliable.

In addition to Wei Xiaowen and Chen Yougong, two trusted people, Shen Wuming was still quite confident about Bingzhou.

"Then let's go."

Shen Wuming took a deep breath, and was still a little scared. Thinking about facing the two ladies next, he really didn't know how to explain.

How long has it been in Bingzhou?

After a while, there are two women, Pipa and Minghui, and one of them is a little nun from Beichan Temple.

No matter how to explain this situation, Shen Wuming is the one who is wrong... I don't know if they can understand it.

Shen Wuming muttered in his heart, his expression became more and more obscure, which made Mr. Gao puzzled.

The court asked Shen Wuming to go back, not to punish him or deprive him of his military power.

Instead, it was a reward and gift.

Moreover, the Empress was generous for once and prepared a Duke's Mansion for the newly promoted Duke.

Ordinarily, she should be happy.

Why does she look like a dead mother, as if she is the same as Su Yuanzhi and Su Letian, which is very strange.

"I'll call two more people."

Shen Wuming said to Lord Gao, turned around and walked into the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, and saw Pipa and Minghui sitting in the yard.

Pipa was mumbling something, while Minghui smiled calmly, with a holy glow on her face.

Although Minghui was gentle and gentle in bed, she was only in front of Shen Wuming.

She was still the little nun with only Buddha in her heart, but the Buddha now was not Sakyamuni, but Shen Wuming.

As for the others, she showed no difference from the past, and was still as sacred as Buddha and Bodhisattva.

On the contrary, Pipa, the thousand-year-old female demon, had nothing to do at this time, and kept mumbling to Pipa.

Pipa did not interrupt, but just looked at her calmly, with a look full of divinity and Buddha nature.

With this kind of prestige, those who don't know would think that Minghui is the ancient figure who has experienced countless hardships.

"Stop first." Shen Wuming walked over and considered his tone, "I want to tell you something."

"Go ahead." Pipa raised her chin. Now that she got off the bed, she spoke more confidently.

Minghui also turned her head to look at him, her eyes were still like water, and when she was calm, there was a ripple of affection.

"I... I want to go back to the capital." Shen Wuming found that his psychological preparation was useless.

When facing Minghui and Pipa, he was so stuttering, I wonder how he should face his wife?

"Ah?"

Minghui's originally indifferent expression suddenly changed when she heard this, and her little face suddenly tightened.

Although she had been prepared for the matter between her and Shen Wuming, she was not even afraid of Shen Wuming's wives.

But that was in the past.

Anyway, it was just to convert Buddhists to Buddhism. To put it bluntly, it was to snatch Shen Wuming back from the world.

It was not a big deal to compete for favor with his wives and eventually pull him to Buddhism.

But now that there is an emotional foundation, Minghui is uneasy, and feels a bit like a concubine facing the queen.

"Is this... not good?"

Minghui looked at Shen Wuming with a stern face, and her fingers unconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes. She pulled hard and wrinkled the corner of her clothes.

Pipa said calmly, "What's the matter? Isn't it just a trip to the capital? I haven't been there for a long time."

"Anyway, I'm going. When the time comes, do I have to visit your wife? Call her sister?"

Pipa was serious. According to the human race, there is always a first come, first served.

Although she is older and has been a thousand-year-old female demon, she is a latecomer after all.

It's fine if you just robbed someone's husband, but if you want to rob the position of the queen, it's a bit inappropriate.

Shen Wuming rolled his eyes, "No, you're already 1,800 years old, what's the point of calling me sister?"

"You know I'm 1,800 years old, so why were you so rude just now? My throat..."

"Shut up." Shen Wuming quickly covered the guy's mouth and turned around to look. Fortunately, there was no one.

"The door is open. You just open your mouth and say whatever you want. Aren't you afraid that others will hear it and damage your reputation?"

"What's the matter?" Pipa pulled his hand away and said disapprovingly, "It's human nature for men and women to love each other."

"Those who laugh at you may be playing more tricks than you on the bed. What are you afraid of?"

Faced with Pipa's cheerful words, Shen Wuming was really speechless. He was too lazy to pay attention to her, but looked at Minghui.

"Minghui, do you want to go?" Shen Wuming said, "If you are worried, then..."

"I'll go."

Pipa said hurriedly, "The ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet her parents-in-law, not to mention, I have to give an explanation."

"I can't say that I have been hiding it since I was with you, but it makes my sister look down on me."

...

At the same time, in the Shen family.

The Minister of Works gave Cao Zhuyu a special holiday, or in other words, arranged a task for him to do at home.

That is to build the Duke's Mansion.

According to the rules and regulations of the court, people who are granted titles can hang a plaque of the title on their own mansions.

If the minister had made great contributions, the court would also order the construction of a mansion, and might even build one in both the fiefdom and the capital.

However, this situation was quite common in the past, but it is less common now, because everyone in the court and the public knows that the empress is extremely stingy.

However, today, the empress was generous for once, and actually ordered the court to supervise the construction of the Anguo Mansion.

Not only did she take money from the national treasury, she even took several thousand taels from the inner treasury as a subsidy.

The most important thing is that she approved a piece of land.

"This mansion was originally the mansion of Duke Chen of the previous dynasty, but you all know that Duke Chen."

"In the previous dynasty, although he was not a well-reputed person, many people were corrupt and accepted bribes."

"Even the merchants around Duke Chen's mansion had to pay him a protection fee to do business."

"So you can imagine that Duke Chen's mansion is very good. Your Majesty has always held it in his hands and is reluctant to give it away."

The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works brought Cao Zhuyu, Chu Youyi, and Chu Pingshan and his wife to the designated site.

Introduce in person.

This is a rather old mansion. On the door and wall, there are carved railings and painted buildings, which can be seen from the luxury of the past.

But now it is covered with many spider webs. When you push the door in, there are bats flapping their wings and soaring into the sky.

"Uh..."

The Left Assistant Minister was embarrassed. He just praised it, but now he realized that it has become an antique.
