Powerful Minister Buddha-like Sweet Wife - Chapter 56

Soon, the two passed the inspection and entered the capital.

Throughout the whole process, Liu Tangxi was wandering, pursing her lips for a while, and peeping at Wei Hanzhou for a while.

On the other hand, Wei Hanzhou, after checking, closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning on the luggage behind.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou like this, Liu Tangxi looked more unscrupulously.

However, due to the dimness of the carriage and the nervousness of herself, Liu Tangxi did not see Wei Hanzhou’s red ears.

With such a small episode, Liu Tangxi didn’t even bother to look at the capital, and kept staring at Wei Hanzhou.

After the carriage entered the city, it drove for about two quarters of an hour, and then stopped at the door of a house.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wei Hanzhou opened his eyes.

Liu Tangxi’s gaze looking at him has not yet recovered.

After looking at each other for a moment, Liu Tangxi immediately retracted his gaze and changed the subject, “Uh, that, it seems to have arrived.”

Wei Hanzhou coughed slightly and said, “Well, get off the bus.”

Wei Hanzhou got out of the car first, and Liu Tangxi followed him down.

Wei Hanzhou was waiting to the side, reaching out his hand to help her down. As a result, after Liu Tangxi glanced at him, his eyes wandered, and he jumped down with the carriage.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at her, then took his hand back.

After getting off the bus, Liu Tangxi was attracted by the house in front of him.

This house doesn’t look big from the outside. It’s not the kind of big house with two stone lions at the door, which is played in a TV series, but the kind of small house with the door width estimated to be no more than two meters.

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

An old man who was about fifty years old came out from inside, and after seeing Wei Hanzhou, he began to salute “I have seen the lord.”

Wei Hanzhou nodded slightly, glanced at Liu Tangxi, and said, “This is my lady.”

The old man hurriedly saluted Liu Tangxi, “I have seen Madam.”

Liu Tangxi raised his hand to make people get up.

“I’ll let people come out and move things.” As he said, the old man went in again.

Wei Hanzhou briefly explained a few words, “This house was rewarded by the emperor, and there are three servants, the one who was the guard at the door just now, the other is the cook whose surname is Chen, and the other is Aden. They were originally criminal ministers. The servants of the family, who work in the outer courtyard, are not involved.”

Liu Tangxi nodded.

Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi didn’t have much luggage. After a while, a few people moved their things down.

The carriage they rode in was rented by the firm, and the shop also had a store in the capital. The coachman refused their meal and drove to the firm.

Liu Tangxi followed Wei Hanzhou towards the courtyard.

This yard is not big from the outside, but there is a special cave when you come in.

As soon as I entered, there was a wall facing the door, with inverted houses on both sides. After bypassing the entrance wall, there is a huge courtyard with cloisters on both sides of the courtyard.

The cloister on one side is connected to a small garden, and there is a back door on one side of the small garden.

On the other side of the corridor is connected to the kitchen, next to the kitchen there are several grocery rooms and the servants’ rooms.

Directly facing the entrance wall are several main rooms, and behind them are several back cover rooms.

The overall area of ​​the yard seems to be similar to that in Weijia Village, but the yard in Weijia Village

It looks like a courtyard with a huge courtyard in the middle. This is to cut the entire yard into several seemingly independent but interconnected spaces. The yard in the middle is smaller, but there are more small gardens to welcome the wall and so on.

Although I don’t know how much smaller than the Hou Mansion where the original owner lives in my memory, Liu Tangxi is quite satisfied.

She and Wei Hanzhou are two people, what do they live in such a big place.

She originally thought she wanted to rent a house when she came to the capital, but she didn’t expect the emperor to reward her with a house, but it was a surprise.

The yard is quite clean, there is no dust on the corridor, and the house is also clean. It seems that these servants have cleaned it before they came.

Liu Tangxi went back to the house to sort things out, while Wei Hanzhou went out to ask the servant.

When Liu Tangxi came out, the sky was a little dark, and it was about to night.

Seeing her coming out, Wei Hanzhou glanced back at her and asked, “Lady, do you want to eat outside?”

Liu Tangxi has never been to Beijing in the future. To be honest, she is quite curious about Beijing. After all, this is the largest and most prosperous place in the Dali Dynasty.

However, when I think that the original owner was very high-profile before and often went out, I guess there are not a few people in the capital who have seen her.

After much deliberation, she felt that she still wouldn’t go out first.

At this moment, she hadn’t figured out how to face the Hou Mansion. Although I thought about returning to the capital and the Hou Mansion before, this idea has gradually faded a lot with the passage of time. What remains in my heart is more about going back and giving an explanation to the original owner’s family.

“Forget it, the journey is tiring, so let’s do something at home.” Liu Tangxi refused.

Wei Hanzhou frowned slightly. According to what he knew about her, she should be very happy when she came to the capital. But looking at her expression, there seemed to be something wrong. I don’t know if it is his illusion, he always feels that the lady has been different from before since she left home, as if something was on her mind.

At first, it could be said that I missed my family and was reluctant to leave, but in the following few days, it seemed that there was something else besides being sick.

“Madam, I haven’t had time to buy rice noodles and vegetables.” Old lady Chen explained in a low voice.

A nervous and worried look appeared on her face.

Liu Tangxi glanced at Wei Hanzhou and instantly understood.

It took Wei Hanzhou a month to go, and he didn’t have much extra money. He was afraid that he didn’t give the servant any money when he left. And these servants came out of the sinner’s house again, and perhaps they were much more cautious than others because they were afraid of being driven out.

Liu Tangxi hurriedly said, “It’s okay, wait until tomorrow you get the money from me before you buy it.”

Granny Chen’s complexion looked a lot better all of a sudden, she was not so nervous, and said, “Hey, okay, okay.”

After asking Wei Hanzhou for their monthly money, Liu Tangxi went to the house to take the money and gave each one a month’s money.

“It’s been hard to watch the house this month.”

“Thank you, Madam.” The people finally showed a smile on their faces, and they were no longer as nervous and restrained as they were just now.

Wei Hanzhou was watching when Liu Tangxi was dealing with things.

He always knew that she was great, as if nothing could stump her.

When she was at the farm, feeding the pigs to the fire was easy. She never dislikes the mess at home. Once she feels dirty, she will clean it herself. She doesn’t complain about the bad food, she will cook it herself.

And she can embroider and read.

Looking at it now, she seems to know how to control servants.

She can eat the bitterness of the lower-level people, and she can take care of the management of the back house of the upper-level officials.

What is her identity?

Wei Hanzhou started thinking about this again in his mind.

Look at her recent abnormal behavior, is it related to the capital? For an instant, this thought came to Wei Hanzhou’s heart.

After a while, the sky outside was already dark. Liu Tangxi glanced at Wei Hanzhou, who was standing on the side not knowing what he was thinking, and after thinking about it, he said, “Why don’t you go out to eat?”

There is no rice, noodles, rapeseed at home, and there are only some snacks in the luggage. She eats dim sum at noon, and she has not eaten less dim sum on the road these days, she has eaten enough. Even if there is a risk of being discovered when going out, she doesn’t want to eat those things anymore.

Wei Hanzhou came back to his senses and said, “Okay.”

Liu Tangxi changed the brown coarse cloth clothes on her body and replaced it with goose yellow cotton clothes.

She has never been a particular person, and she focuses on comfort when she is away from home. Moreover, there are many bacteria outside, and the journey is more tiring. Besides, she is so beautiful. If something robbed along the way, Wei Hanzhou, a weak scholar, could not protect her. Wouldn’t it be a loss? Therefore, after thinking about it, it is not cost-effective to wear good-looking clothes. She always wears dirty-resistant coarse cloth clothes.

Now that he changed his goose yellow clothes, his temperament suddenly changed.

It probably looked like a village flower just now, but now it smells like a daughter of a small family.

This is the new clothes she specially made for herself in order to come to the capital.

When he came out of the house, looking at the stunning color in Wei Hanzhou’s eyes, Liu Tangxi deliberately turned around in front of him and asked, “Does it look good?”

Wei Hanzhou coughed lightly and said, “It looks good.”

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi laughed and took out a veil of the same color from his sleeve and put it on his face.

After that, he naturally took up Wei Hanzhou’s arm and said, “Let’s go?”

Wei Hanzhou glanced at how the yellow cotton clothes were intertwined with the gray clothes on his body, and said “OK.”

After walking a few steps, just after leaving the hall door, Liu Tangxi suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Hanzhou beside him.

Wei Hanzhou didn’t know why she stopped, and turned his head to look at her.

“I just remembered, aren’t you poisoned? Is your head still dizzy?” Liu Tangxi asked nervously.

Wei Hanzhou shook his head and said, “No problem.”

If I was a little dizzy at first, I hadn’t felt it since I had been in contact with her for so long.

Liu Tangxi frowned and asked, “Really? But Jiang Zhongzhong clearly said that you were poisoned.”

“He also said that his husband’s poisoning was mild, and, haven’t you seen him, he has never seen much nervousness about the prince’s poisoning. It can be seen that this kind of poisoning is not serious.” Wei Hanzhou retorted with reason.

Liu Tangxi thought about the day’s things carefully, and felt that Wei Hanzhou’s words were very reasonable. He looked at Wei Hanzhou’s expression carefully and saw his expression as usual. After thinking for a while, he said, “Why don’t you go find someone on the street soon? The doctor takes the pulse and prescribes some more medicine?”

Wei Hanzhou said, “No, if it’s uncomfortable, I will see it tomorrow for my husband.

. “

Seeing Wei Hanzhou’s insistence, Liu Tangxi didn’t say anything any more, and the two went out arm in arm.

After going out from the main entrance, there are red lanterns hung at the door of every household, so that you can’t see it clearly. The street in front of me is no different from what I saw in the daytime. It is very long and looks very quiet.

Presumably, the people living here are officials similar to Wei Hanzhou’s status, otherwise, the emperor would not have given the house here.

Just thinking about it, a carriage drove over from the entrance of the east alley, and in the darkness, the hooves of horses rattled.

Liutangxi and Wei Hanzhou are walking, and they are driving in opposite directions to the carriage.

The carriage drove past them both quickly.

But, suddenly stopped not far from them.

“Wei Xiu’s writing?”

Wei Hanzhou is the number one scholar, who was given to the Hanlin Academy by the emperor to compile, and he was awarded the sixth rank.

Obviously, the person who called him knew him.

Wei Hanzhou stopped and looked back at the carriage.

Liu Tangxi also stopped and looked over.

“It’s really you. I just looked at the image from a long distance and didn’t dare to recognize it. But why did you return to Beijing so soon.”

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi, patted her hand, and whispered, “This is Huangfucheng of James Mansion.”

Liu Tangxi understood, and took his hand from Wei Hanzhou’s arm.

“I have seen Huang Fucheng.” Wei Hanzhou saluted.

This person is no one else, but the champion of the previous subject. Before, like Wei Hanzhou, he was once a writer of the Imperial Academy. However, not long after staying in the Hanlin Academy, he took refuge in the Prince’s sect. Now, he is working in the Zhan Shifu specializing in assisting the prince, Fu Cheng, Zheng Liupin.

This person is of higher rank than Wei Hanzhou, and Liu Tangxi bowed his head slightly in salute.

Huang Fucheng glanced at Wei Hanzhou, then set his eyes on Liu Tangxi who was standing beside Wei Hanzhou.

He and Wei Hanzhou are two champions before and after, and they will inevitably be compared.

He had taken refuge in the prince before, but the prince made more and more mistakes in front of the emperor in the past two years. On the contrary, the three princes became more and more face in front of the emperor.

He was also ridiculed behind his back.

As for Wei Hanzhou, he neither accepted the prince’s goodwill nor got close to the third prince. He faintly heard others compare them, saying that Wei Hanzhou was smarter than him and more foresighted than he was able to judge the situation.

But what about the situation during the reconsideration? He did not have a lady from a brothel, and because of this, the emperor was annoyed by the matter.

“I don’t know who is next to Wei Xiuzan…” Huang Fucheng stared at Liu Tangxi.

Liu Tangxi frowned slightly, feeling that this vision was a little bad.

Wei Hanzhou raised his foot and moved a half step aside, blocking Huang Fucheng’s sight, bowed, and said respectfully, “This is my lady.”

As soon as Wei Hanzhou’s voice fell, the curtain of the car was opened, and a woman wearing a golden hairpin and satin clothes came out from inside.

“Madam.” Huang Fucheng was busy toward the woman, with a very diligent attitude.

The woman glanced at Liu Tangxi, who was hiding behind Wei Hanzhou, and smiled and said, “So this is the lady of Wei Xiuzhuan? I just saw her holding Wei Xiuzhuan’s arm. I thought it was…Oh, you Look at me, what are you talking about, I should say, this mother

The son really is the same as the rumors. “

This is ridiculing the identity of Liu Tangxi brothel.

Wei Hanzhou’s face was very ugly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Liu Tangxi was very surprised.

Has she already gained a reputation when she first entered the capital? impossible. Therefore, since she did not do it herself, it must be Wei Hanzhou.

But she always felt that these words didn’t seem to be complimenting her, but rather as suggesting something.

“Marrying a lady like this is really hard to write for Wei Xiu.” Huang Fucheng looked considerate.

Liu Tangxi understood that she felt right just now, these two are indeed here to find the difference.

She really wanted to know what exactly Wei Hanzhou said when she came to Beijing for the exam, so that everyone had this attitude towards her.

At this time, only Wei Hanzhou looked at the woman standing on the carriage and asked, “This is?”

Huang Fucheng smiled and introduced, “This is my lady, the third girl from Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple.”

In the tone, it is not without pride.

“Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Li. Just now Huang Fucheng called his wife, and the officer was a little surprised. Last time, the lady that the officer saw at the palace banquet seemed to be different from the one in front of him.”

The complexion of Huang Fucheng and his wife suddenly became very ugly.

No one in the capital knows that after Huang Fucheng got the top pick that year, he was dissatisfied with the lady who came from a merchant and wanted to divorce his wife. But the lady is quite pungent, and everyone knows how to make trouble in the capital. Later, when he divorced his wife and failed, Huang Fucheng married a flat wife. It was Mrs. Li who was born in the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple in front of him.

“Huh!” The lady Li snorted coldly, opened the curtain and went back to the carriage. She had to attend the last palace banquet, but she was helplessly injured by the **** and sprained her foot, and failed to make it.

A nervous look appeared on Huang Fucheng’s face, and he glared at Wei Hanzhou, who could not speak.

Wei Hanzhou’s face remained as usual, and he respectfully said, “I’m worried about you. There are only women in the official mansion. Life is simple. Unlike in the adult mansion, there are many women, and there must be more things to work. Don’t bother, take my lady away first.”

After speaking, Wei Hanzhou turned around, took Liu Tangxi’s hand, and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Liu Tangxi was in a daze during the whole process. He didn’t know what the two were talking about, or why Wei Hanzhou changed the expressions of the two with just one sentence.

After walking out of the alley, Liu Tangxi couldn’t help asking, “What happened just now? Are the two people talking about me? But what happened to me that I didn’t know?”

Wei Hanzhou looked around for a while and said lightly, “It’s nothing, two irrelevant people.”

“OK-“

“What do you want to eat? There are noodles over there, wontons over there, and…”

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi looked towards the street and looked at the brightly lit and bustling street market. Her attention suddenly shifted. She looked at the food on the street excitedly, and let go of Wei Hanzhou’s hand. , Walked towards the front.

Seeing her happy, Wei Hanzhou let out a sigh of relief and followed.

The capital is really prosperous, there are so many people at night.

Having been in this world for two years, this is the first time she came out at night. At this time in the past, she probably didn’t

It’s cooking, it’s eating. Looking at these things, she felt like she had come to another world.

Looking at these delicious things, Liu Tangxi was moved to tears.

Smelling these smells, her belly has already begun to scream.

After walking for a long time and seeing a lot of things, Liu Tangxi didn’t even think about what to eat.

She wants to try this one, and that one too.

But she has no money!

She has a total of more than ten taels of silver. It is estimated that if there is no income, it will be gone in a short time.

After enduring it for a long time, Liu Tangxi was tired from walking. Seeing that there were many people in front, it seemed that someone was telling the story, so he ran over to join in the fun.

The storyteller is taking a break, saying that it will start in half a quarter of an hour.

Seeing so many people onlookers, Liu Tangxi felt that this person was probably very good and good at telling stories, so she found a wonton stall nearby and beckoned to Wei Hanzhou, who was walking behind.

Two of them asked for a bowl of wontons and sat there waiting.

A bowl of wontons for six cents is much more expensive than the town, and the town only costs two cents a bowl.

But no matter how expensive it is, you have to eat.

The stalls outside here are so expensive, and the ones in the restaurant must be more expensive.

The wontons came up soon. Looking at the thin-skinned wontons, Liu Tangxi couldn’t help but swallowed his saliva, took the spoon, and ate it.

Although it is very hot, it is delicious!

The wonton meat fillings sold at the market in the town are simply incomparable. The meat is very tender and the soup is so delicious that she is about to bite her tongue.

I had just eaten three and was about to eat the fourth. When Wei Hanzhou changed the bowl in front of him, Liu Tangxi looked at him in surprise.

“I haven’t eaten this bowl for my husband yet, the lady has eaten this.” Wei Hanzhou explained.

Liu Tangxi glanced at him suspiciously.

“There is a lot in this bowl, eat it, or it will be cold.”

Liu Tangxi thought, yes, two bowls are the same. She just ate three. Wei Hanzhou hasn’t eaten them yet. Isn’t it because there are so many bowls? She is still conscientious, knowing she is hungry. Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi ate happily.

She had no idea what Wei Hanzhou was thinking.

Wei Hanzhou ate the wontons in the bowl, thinking to himself, the things that have been touched by the lady are delicious.

Liu Tangxi was eating happily, and just listened to the storyteller who started to tell a new story.

“By the way, in a distant neighboring country, there is a poor scholar… He started studying at the age of ten… He became a scholar at the age of sixteen…”

Liu Tangxi “huhu” blowing wontons, eating with small bites.

Wei Hanzhou frowned.

“Because of his outstanding talent and handsome appearance, after he got the champion, countless families of officials wanted to capture him as their son-in-law. Helplessly, this young champion has already married.”

There was a sigh from the crowd.

Liu Tangxi continued to “huhu” blowing the wontons in the spoon.

“…As soon as I inquired, the lady of the champion man turned out to be from a brothel. It was his old mother who married the champion man in order to cheer his father.”

The wontons are not so hot anymore, Liu Tangxi doesn’t need to blow them, and eats with small bites.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi.

“Why? Regret it? Regret, I won’t change with you, I eat too little

Not full. “

Liu Tangxi said while guarding the bowl, don’t think she hadn’t seen it, Wei Hanzhou had already eaten a few, not as many as her bowl. Liu Tangxi was reluctant to exchange such delicious wontons with Wei Hanzhou.

After speaking, Liu Tangxi lowered his head and continued to eat.

“When the emperor heard that, how could this woman’s identity be worthy of our young and handsome champion man? Let the champion man divorce his wife immediately.”

“It’s time to divorce her, this woman has a low status and is not worthy of our champion!” someone in the crowd said.

“Yes, support the number one man to divorce his wife!”

Hearing the voices in the crowd, Liu Tangxi looked over. I thought, isn’t it just a story? Is it necessary to be so excited? Moreover, the brothel girl has been in good faith and married the champion man. She has done nothing wrong. How can she just give up.

If she really divorced her, then it would be a guilty man.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at the storyteller with cold eyes, then turned to look at Liu Tangxi and asked, “Have you finished eating?”

Liu Tangxi turned around and said, “No, what anxious, I haven’t finished listening later.”

As soon as the voice fell, the storyteller continued to speak.

“I saw the champion man knelt on the Jinluan Hall with a thud.”

The noise in the crowd ceased, and everyone listened with bated breath.

“I only heard that the champion scholar said that although my lady was born in a brothel, she made embroidery and stitching for me to earn money for studying, and she also served her parents at home. If I divorced her, wouldn’t it be an unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous person? ? Forgive me for not doing such things.” As he said, the storyteller patted Xingmu.

Suddenly, the voice in the crowd changed.

The woman secretly wiped away her tears and praised the scholar’s love and righteousness.

The man also said more words of admiration.

Liu Tangxi listened and suddenly discovered something wrong. Why is this story so familiar?

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Wei Hanzhou.

Looking at Wei Hanzhou’s ugly face, Liu Tangxi became more certain, and asked in a low voice, “Is this talking about the two of us?”

Wei Hanzhou said with a cold face, “The lady don’t want to listen to her nonsense, she has worked hard all the way, let’s go back and rest when we are done.”

Liu Tangxi pressed Wei Hanzhou’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, what to do when you go back, I haven’t finished listening yet, let’s listen again.”

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi’s face, saw that she seemed to be lifeless and very interested, and sat down again.

“The emperor was furious! The head of the champion was cut off immediately.”

There was another exclamation in the crowd.

“The emperor asked if he would change his mind to divorce his wife? The champion did not change his original intention and said, ‘even if you kill me, I will not divorce my wife.’”

The crowd cheered again.

Liu Tangxi glanced at Wei Hanzhou and asked in a low voice, “Is the emperor really cutting your head because of this?”

Wei Hanzhou frowned and said, “No.”

“At this time, the officials pleaded for mercy and asked the emperor to spare this affectionate and righteous champion… the emperor finally took his life back.”

After the story was finished, everyone gathered for a long time to discuss.

After Liu Tangxi finished his last sip of soup, he went back with Wei Hanzhou.

After walking through this bustling street and returning to the quiet lane where they lived, Liu Tangxi couldn’t help it, and asked with a gossip, “How true is the content of this storyteller?”

“one cent.”

Who are you lie to, Liu Tangxi thought. But what she heard was more than true.

“So, except for the fact that the emperor wants to cut your head off, everything else is true?”

Wei Hanzhou glanced at her and said nothing.

What he clearly said was only true, but when he got to her, he turned it around.

Upon seeing this, Liu Tangxi’s smile deepened, with a small smug on his face, and said, “I didn’t see it, Xianggong, you have such a deep root of love for me until you die.”
