Vol 2 Chapter 60: Everybody is right (Happy New Year's Day)

"Speaking of which, the Xu family was also a big family back then."
Wang Shoufu sighed for no reason.
Xu Xinnian's eyelids twitched and he was silent for a moment, and said, "How does the court plan to resolve the matter over Yunzhou?"
After Emperor Yuanjing's death, two files were classified as secrets and sealed in the cabinet.
One of them can only be viewed by officials with real powers above grade 3 and academicians.
The content of the file is that Xu Pingfeng, the second disciple of Tanhua Lang and Jianzheng, colluded with the royal family's legacy five hundred years ago, established a base in Yunzhou, developed secretly, and tried to rebel.
The old incident revisited the case of the former Qi party colluding with the witch gods to support the bandits in Yunzhou Mountain; the case of Yuzhou iron ore smuggling to Yunzhou caused by the Yuanjing Emperor’s selling of officials.
Now, Dagengren, Yushi, and Dali Temple are secretly investigating all Beijing officials to identify possible spies.
Officials in various places have also encountered secret investigations.
Another dossier records the truth that Emperor Yuanjing, King Zhenbei, and Emperor Joan of Arc are all one person.
This dossier is not public, and few people know it. .
Prince, oh no, Emperor Yongxing intends to pass on this secret as a family secret.
"The border between Qingzhou and Yongzhou has been prepared for defense. The imperial court has sent several imperial edicts to Yunzhou, asking Yunzhou to command Yang Chuannan to return to Beijing to report on his duties, but there is no news."
Wang Shoufu said in a deep voice:
"Yunzhou hasn't turned back, but it's a matter of time. The dark child who is fighting the guards in Yunzhou is still there, and the Yunzhou army and officialdom have not moved for the time being. But the court has lost control of them.
"Your uncle has been operating in Yunzhou for many years and has a far-reaching layout."
Xu Xinnian frowned: "So the imperial court means to watch the changes?"
Wang Shoufu nodded: "Your Majesty intends to crusade against the legacy of the royal family five hundred years ago in the coming autumn. But before that, Yunzhou may start something first, and the court is ready."
Xu Xinnian understood: "Therefore, the treasury has no extra money for disaster relief."
Wang Shoufu was silent.
...........
There was silence for a while in the spacious room.
The second sister-in-law Zhao Yurong cleared her throat, and said in a tone of popular science education for her children:
"Miss, the charcoal in your house is different from the one here. This is the royal beast gold charcoal, which can only be used in the palace."
In fact, in the current style of corruption, there are many acts of reselling beast gold charcoal on the black market. There are more or less such charcoal in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but they are generally not used when treating guests.
It's all secretly enjoyment.
Only those who have received such a reward from the Wang family can be used in a stately manner.
Sister-in-law Li Xianghan twisted a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth, looked at Xu Lingyue diagonally opposite, and smiled:
"It's all a family. Later, let the subordinates pack two catties of beast gold charcoal. It is not a rare thing at all."
The message revealed in this sentence is: Although it was a reward from the emperor, it was nothing to the Wang family.
Although there is something missing in the fingers of the top giants, it is something that ordinary people cannot enjoy in this life.
Mrs. Wang smiled and drank tea. She needed two daughters-in-law to "show off" the wealth of the Wang family, so as to set off her daughter's golden branches and leaves.
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Thank you, sister-in-law, but there are sixty catties of beast gold charcoal at home. This winter, I think it will be enough."
She has a soft voice and sincere expression, not showing off.
There was a violent silence in the room, and the faces of the Wang's female relatives turned weird, and the snobbish sister-in-law asked in a low voice:
"Bought it on the black market? Sixty catties, how much silver does it cost..."
Mrs. Wang coughed, stopped the elder wife's inquiry with her eyes, and said lightly:
"Lingyue, beast gold charcoal is something for the queen, although many big households buy it secretly. But this kind of thing can't be said. If it is spread out, the palace will condemn the crime. Later, don't say it outside. do you understand."
Mrs. Wang's remarks are not euphemistic, but a serious warning.
This Xu family is too bold. Sixty catties of beast gold charcoal is not a small amount. How can you buy it like this? Relying on the Xu family's upstart, it is so swollen. I am afraid that it will be a relative who will do bad things in the future...
The second sister-in-law's father works in Dali Temple and is particularly sensitive in this regard.
In the capital, upstarts like this kind of upstarts who are in a hurry after gaining power will often not end well.
Xu Lingyue shook her head and said innocently: "It was rewarded by Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an."
? Madam Wang was obviously taken aback, and quickly recovered her calm without speaking.
The sister-in-law was surprised: "The two princesses rewarded it?"
The blankness in her and her second sister-in-law's eyes was not concealed. As wealthy wives living deep in the compound, they only knew that Xu Jiadalang was very powerful, but the details of all aspects were not clear.
For example, Xu Jiadalang is a slave of three families, two of them, one is the eldest daughter of the emperor who has great talents, and the other is Lin'an, the most favored one.
Xu Lingyue explained: "The two princesses took care of the Xu family because of their eldest brother's face."
Xu Dalang.........
I don't know if I remembered Xu Dalang's legend, the two sisters-in-laws suddenly became more polite, and their smiles became enthusiastic.
Madam Wang said with a solemn expression, "I heard Simu say that Xu Yinluo is not in the capital?"
"Big Brother went on a trip." Xu Lingyue replied.
In the following chats, the elder sister and the second elder sister kept "showing off their wealth", and they always showed the superiority of the wealthy family without experiencing it, in order to highlight the prominence of the Wang family.
Sister-in-law said: "Erlang is in the Imperial Academy. Although he is a top-notch and noble member, he does not have much real power. After he gets married, he strives to be sent abroad after the Chinese New Year."
Xu Lingyue said: "Before the eldest brother left, I had already arranged for the second brother."
The second wife said: "Er Lang was born in Yunlu Academy, and he is very talented. It is only the practice of official favors that is the article, and favors are piled up by money. But it doesn't matter. These things must have been arranged by the father-in-law."
Xu Lingyue said: "There is also a chicken bouillon workshop left by the eldest brother in the mansion, which earns 10,000 taels every year."
The sister-in-law said: "My sister is not married yet, and my sister-in-law will introduce you to a few young handsome men with top talents from family background."
Xu Lingyue said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, half of your eldest brother is enough."
Sister-in-law: "........"
After a battle, the sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were defeated.
Suddenly they discovered that the Wang family didn't seem to have much advantage in front of the Xu family in terms of wealth, connections, and family renown.
The sense of superiority suddenly disappeared.
Idiot........ Wang Simu secretly shook his head.
The two sisters-in-laws were given the rhythm by Xu Lingyue. Every time they showed their superiority, Xu Lingyue moved out of Xu Qi'an. It was obviously a comparison of the overall strength of the Wang family and the Xu family.
Just because Xu Lingyue, who was harmless to humans and animals, turned into a comparison between the Wang family and Xu Qi'an.
Can it be compared?
It happened that the two sister-in-laws were confused by Xu Lingyue's appearance, thinking that they were in control of the overall situation and that there was no problem. The reason for the continuous confusion was that the Wang family was indeed inferior to the Xu family.
At this time, silver bells of laughter came from outside the house.
Immediately, a pair of children ran in, a boy and a girl.
The boy has a tiger head and a tiger brain, wearing a brocade coat and a fox fur hat. His skin is slightly dark and he is about ten years old.
The girl is tender and lovely, with a round face and big eyes, she looks like a beauty, she is about seven years old.
"grandmother!"
The two children narrowed their smiles and said respectfully.
"It's Brother Hao and Sister Die here."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's face and greeted a pair of children to come to her.
Wang Simu took the opportunity to introduce: "These are my elder brother's children."
Xu Lingyue nodded.
The two children sat down beside Mrs. Wang, and the girl gazed at the chubby child of the same age with her sullen eyes.
The boy was also examining the strange girl.
My sister-in-law's eyes lit up, "Oh," she said displeased: "Hao'er, Die'er, say hello to my sister."
The two children greeted Xu Lingyin immediately.
Xu Lingyin concentrated on eating cakes, dried fruits and preserves, immersed in her own world.
Stupid, greedy... The two sister-in-laws secretly shook their heads.
Madam Wang's face was a little bit of a smile.
The sister-in-law smiled and asked, "I haven't asked yet, has Miss Lingyin enlightened."
Xu Lingyue shook her head and whispered softly: "Not yet, Lingyin is stupid, she can't memorize the Three-character Sutra, and it's useless to send it to school."
The smile on my sister-in-law’s face became more obvious:
"That's not okay. Although our girls don't need to take a fame test, they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I think we can send sister Lingyin to our Wang's private school."
Mrs. Wang nodded her head, with a pleasant face: "There are two more days every month to enter the palace and study with the prince, and listen to the teachings of the Taifu."
"Ahem..."
Wang Simu was choked by the tea, coughing tears came out.
"What's wrong?" Madam Wang looked at her daughter.
"Mr. Zhang and Tai Fu at home are very old..." Wang Simu said softly.
So, mother, let them go.
"Okay!"
Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Mrs. Wang."
After a pause, Xu Lingyue said: "In fact, Lingyin has been studying martial arts recently, so she has wasted her homework. I also think she should read more to read."
"Practice martial arts?"
A woman in a room showed an expression of "this is vulgar", Wu Fu is vulgar, women learn martial arts, vulgar in vulgarity.
The dark-skinned Wang Hao's eyes lit up, stood up, stared at Xu Lingyin, and said:
"Do you also practice martial arts? Let's make gestures."
The boy’s proposal was immediately rejected by his mother, and his sister-in-law reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense, you are a good seedling, Miss Lingyin is different from you, aren't you bullying her."
Instead, she said to Xu Lingyue: "Haoer has a good foundation. The guest from the mansion praised him as a good seedling, so he accepted him as a disciple. The father-in-law also said that it is a good thing to learn martial arts to strengthen the body. In the future, Haoer will also be considered both civil and military. ."
The tone is quite proud.
Xu Lingyue lowered her head: "My sister has only one strength."
Very inferior.
Wang Hao couldn't find an opponent of the same age on weekdays, and finally saw one, and said anxiously:
"Grandma, I have a sense of measure. You can let me compare with her. If you are afraid that I will hurt her, you can ask a guard to look after her."
Mrs. Wang still felt that it was not appropriate, and just about to refuse, she heard Xu Lingyue say: "Okay."
Ok? Mrs. Wang glanced at her and said, "It's OK."
Immediately let the maid go and call a guard.
Wang Hao and Xu Lingyin left the house and came to the courtyard.
Xu Lingyue, Wang Simu, the two sister-in-laws, and Mrs. Wang, dressed in a cloak, stood on the crowd watching.
The middle-aged guard pressed the knife with one hand, looked at the two children, and said, "Before the test, I will look at your strength."
He said, pointing to the stone stool aside: "Move the stool."
For children playing house, there is no such thing as a sword without eyes. But to be safe, try your strength first.
If the difference is too great, the competition is unnecessary.
Wang Hao took the lead to walk to the stone table, leaned over, hugged the stone stool beside the table, shouted, and picked up the stool.
His small face was flushed, and his forehead was bulging with blue veins. It took ten steps before he was exhausted. During the process, Mrs. Wang kept shouting beside him:
"Slower, slower..."
The second sister-in-law praised: "Haoer is good at it."
My sister-in-law smiled and said, "Actually, it's better to study. Alas, I didn't want him to practice martial arts. Haoer is really good at it."
Sister-in-law passed through Versailles without a teacher.
The middle-aged guard exclaimed, "The young master has a bright future."
He then looked at Xu Lingyin: "Don't force it."
Xu Lingyin finally finished eating a handful of candied fruit in his hand, licked his palm, and walked to the stone table in the eyes of everyone.
She reached out and grabbed the edge of the stone table.
The middle-aged guard just wanted to say "it's not this", suddenly his eyes widened, and the stone table looked like a weightless feather, which was grabbed by the little girl with one hand and lifted to the top of his head.
Raised to the top of my head........
one-hand.........
The scene was suddenly silent.
My sister-in-law opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth slightly, her body was stiff, and she seemed to have suffered an unbearable shock.
Mrs. Wang was moved.
The Wang's young boy was dumbfounded.
boom!
Xu Lingyin threw the stone table back to its original position and looked at her sister in a naive way: "Can you fight?"
Go back to eat after playing.
"Do not!"
"No more!"
Madam Wang and sister-in-law screamed at the same time.
At this time, Xu Lingyue was still the harmless appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, and said with inferiority:
"Ring Yin knows nothing, just a little bit of strength, and the eldest brother also thinks she is not qualified."
The sister-in-law looked at her blankly, her lips moved and she couldn't speak.
This...Mrs. Wang and the second sister-in-law are also silent.
...........
Xu Xinnian had lunch at the mansion. After saying goodbye to Wang Shoufu, he went to the backyard and saw two younger sisters waiting there at the entrance of the inner hall. The servants who followed the mansion were holding a lot of gift boxes, which were gifts from the Wang family.
He did not enter the inner hall, stood in the distance and nodded slightly, waiting for his sisters and servants to come, and the three brothers and sisters left the palace.
After getting into the carriage, the wheels were noisy, Xu Xinnian glanced at the girl and said:
"how are you feeling?"
Xu Lingyue smiled and said, "It's not bad, Sister Si Mu is obedient to the rules."
Behave? Xu Xinnian gave her a blank look.
Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly.
She still has some regrets, it would be more interesting if Wang Simu played against it.
...........
Waiting for Xu New Year's departure, Wang Shoufu drank a cup of tea alone and went to the inner hall.
The atmosphere here is a bit solemn. The wife, Mrs. Wang, two daughters-in-law, and daughter Wang Simu, sat silently.
The daughter is okay, the wife Wang has a solemn face, and the two daughter-in-laws can hardly hide their frustration and disappointment.
Wang Shoufu said lightly: "Is it troublesome?"
The two daughters-in-law did not speak.
Mrs. Wang hesitated and said, "Master, I just think that the Xu family's marriage with us is not high."
Sister-in-law nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yeah."
She wants to send Haoer to Xu Mansion to practice martial arts.
The second sister-in-law said with emotion: "Simu marrying Erlang is a good match."
In the future, she will pay more attention to the Xu family, and she quietly put away her superiority.
Wang Simu suddenly said, "Father, my sister-in-law promised Miss Xu Jia'er to come to the house to study."
Wang Shoufu asked, "What's the problem?"
There is no need to discuss this kind of trivial matter with him.
Wang Simu said quietly: "If you agree to go out, if you regret it, let the eldest brother go to Xu Mansion and say. I don't want to be this villain."
Wang Shoufu waved his hand: "It's just a small matter."
At this time, Wang Shoufu hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter... He was even more strange ~ EbookFREE.me~ why the family's female relatives suddenly lost the battle and looked frustrated.
.........
Returning to Xu Mansion, Xu Lingyin put his hands on both sides of the back waist, spread out, leaned forward and charged, looking for Master Lina, and sharing the delicacies she had eaten in the palace with her.
Xu Lingyue went to the east wing and reported to her mother.
Seeing her daughter's return, the aunt asked, "Have you been bullied? Does the palace look down on people? Have you been wronged?"
Xu Lingyue shook her head: "Nothing, Madam Wang and the two sister-in-laws are very polite."
The aunt didn't believe it, and poked her daughter's forehead: "You girl, even if you are bullied, you will endure it."
With that, he greeted my daughter to sit down at the table, and said with earnest heart:
"Tell me the story of the Wang family, and my mother will give you an analysis and analysis of what has not been done well and what should be done.
"As for you, just remember that if you marry in the future, use what your mother taught you to deal with your mother-in-law."
Xu Lingyue nodded obediently: "Did that mother treat grandmother the same way back then."
Aunt pouted: "Did you forget? Your grandmother passed away before I married your father."
Xu Lingyue sighed: "Mother, your life is really good."
.........
Chai Mansion, Xiangzhou.
Eight feet tall and wearing a red and yellow robes, the King Kong of Duanjie came outside the middle gate.
"Trouble the donor to report, it is difficult for the poor monk to survive."
The burly monk put his hands together.
At this time, the King Kong of Relief Converges all auras, except for the tower-like body, which is no different from ordinary people, and the ring of fire behind his head also converges.
The concierge glanced at the big man in horror, and trembled: "Big, Master wait a minute..."
