The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 113

This is the first time that Xue is so cold and Yan Zhi face to face. Yan Zhi was originally extremely angry, and being so stimulated was even more furious.

He went to Aunt Wang’s room and made a big fire.

Aunt Wang was always a timid, she collapsed to the ground due to fright, unable to speak.

According to Yan Zhi’s own thoughts, this auntie Wang had to be severely punished. However, Yan Ling, who was worried about her marriage, could only speak personally and ban her feet. Yan Ling would not allow her to go out again before she got married. Including Wang’s side, Aunt Wang will not be allowed to see her in the future. He ordered the people around him to go to the Wang’s family to warn that if he dared to talk nonsense outside next time, he would directly break his leg and sell him!

When Yan Ling knew about this, there was already a lot of trouble.

Yan Ling’s face was as white as paper, and she didn’t know what to say. She finally worked hard to see a turnaround, and yet another incident happened. She really didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Went to Aunt Wang’s room, she was sitting in front of the couch and weeping. Seeing Yan Ling walk in, she cried louder.

Yan Ling looked at her with exhaustion, wishing to cry too.

“Don’t you want me to be nice? You can’t stop for a while? Since you want to jump, what did you do a few years ago, you jumped up now.”

“Did you see that the girl you raised is getting better now and is about to get married, so you feel that you are a superior person and can show off your power? Why have you not lived so much at such an age? Why don’t you understand it? Why?” Yan Ling’s voice became louder and louder, even to the point of hysterics, “We can sit here now so that you can still be proud that I can marry to Qing’an Bofu, not because of how much I am. It’s good, but the heart is not broken in the main room, don’t you understand!”

“I just saw her Xue, who didn’t plan for you at all, so…”

“Why are others planning for me?” Yan Ling wiped the tears from her cheeks and said coldly.

“You call her mother.”

“Oh, you also know that I called her mother. Are you still my mother, I called your aunt for more than ten years, what did you plan for me?”

Aunt Wang’s face suddenly paled, and Ai Ai could not speak.

“What do I want to say to you! As your mother-in-law, where did you plan for my biological daughter?”

Yan Ling sneered coldly, “Did your money be posted to the Wang family for so many years? Do you remember planning to pay a penny for my daughter, do you have it? Even if it’s a stitch and a thread! Wrong, you even have extra money? I didn’t have any remaining money, and even asked me to get the money to post to that home!”

Aunt Wang suddenly panted and cried sadly, “Why haven’t I planned for you, but your auntie is of a low birth, not as good as Madam, what can I do! I can’t be in such a situation at home. Look at them all starving to death. If I was as rich as my wife, I wouldn’t be like this… Madam is so rich, it’s nothing for us to give more alms, you call her mother, this dowry should be done She comes out…”

“Yes, what you said is right! What you said makes sense! But—” Yan Ling’s face was sad, her voice suddenly raised, “Do you think everyone in the world owes you? No one owes you. She is bad to you because you did something that shouldn’t be done, and she is bad to me because of the dirty thing you did, which made me a thorn in her flesh! No one is forcing you, no one is going Forcing you to climb Dad’s bed, since you do, you have to bear the consequences.”

“Linger—”

Aunt Wang’s face was as white as a ghost, and her lips kept shaking. She didn’t expect her daughter to know what she had done before, but—

“I’m not wrong, what’s wrong with me.” She cried again, her voice full of grievances, “It’s so difficult at home, and all point to the monthly salary I was a girl. You think your aunt is cheap. , Have to live by looking at people’s faces? But your uncle was waiting for the money to marry a wife, what can I do!”

It turns out that there is still such a thing!

So she was aggrieved too, right?

But who should she tell her grievances!

“That’s not my uncle, don’t forget that my uncle’s family is Xue’s family!” Yan Ling said cruelly.

In the past, she always cared about sentiment, and was afraid that what she said would be unacceptable to Aunt Wang, but the facts proved that when she should be cruel, she must be cruel, otherwise the mother and daughter would have to die without a place to be buried.

“Father just came to reprimand you today. You still don’t have a long memory.” Yan Ling’s voice was calm and terrible without a trace. “Father said, in the future, you or the Wang family will go outside to climb relatives, everyone in the Wang family will be the same. Discounted leg sale!”

“You–” Aunt Wang was horrified, she couldn’t believe it, “How can you be so cruel, that’s the brother of my compatriot, your uncle…”

“Auntie seems to have forgotten again. As the auntie is not even a half master, how could your brother become my uncle? Auntie should better recognize his identity.”

It’s nothing, but she can’t convince her. In order to avoid causing trouble to herself, and to marry her in the future, she can still have a place in this family and simply break all her thoughts by herself.

Yan Ling suddenly realized that she was still better than the old aunt Wang. Although she was a little timid, she would not have trouble if she was timid. People always have to recognize their own identity, because many times, once you forget about it, you may be waiting for nothing.

Aunt Wang couldn’t bear this kind of blow, and she couldn’t stop crying.

Yan Ling sighed deeply, and this sigh was full of endless exhaustion.

“Why don’t you understand? You have hindered her for so many years, so you can stay here now, but because you were honest before. Even if you succeed now, do you think about the future? You are still in this house. You have said that mother is not a simple one. After I leave, do you think you are enough to make a dish?”

Aunt Wang gave a squeak in her heart, Yan Ling had already opened the door and walked out.

I don’t know if Aunt Wang listened to those words, in short, she finally stopped.

It’s not as ostentatious as before, and it’s as simple as before.

In fact, Yan Ling felt distressed when she looked at such a lady Wang. But there is no way, the world is involuntary, and once a mistake is made, it will be difficult to turn around in a lifetime. I only hope that I can live well in my husband’s house in the future, so my aunt will naturally worry-free here.

The precocious Yan Ling, who is less than fifteen years old, has already begun to plan to be a good wife and daughter-in-law in the future.

The world is always full of helplessness of this kind, but the days to come will have to go on.

…

This kind of helplessness is naturally something Yan Yan can’t appreciate. She was born unbearable and unjustified. Whoever wants to give her pity, she can’t wait to poke a hole in the sky.

But she can’t understand it, doesn’t mean she can’t see it.

Because I have seen and understood, my heart is even more complicated, and I naturally cherish everything I have in front of me.

Compared to others, she is excellent. Although Yan Ting is still lingering like a bone-attached ant, he has rarely appeared in front of her and her mother since the Mengshan paddock. It seems that all the previous things have disappeared. But now she has a mother who is in pain, has a cute brother, and that annoying person.

Whenever I think of Luo Huaiyuan, Yan Yan always wants to laugh and feel helpless, but there is a hint of sweetness in this helplessness.

Luo Huaiyuan has not forgotten his wish, even if Yan Yan has accepted him that day, he still does not forget to refresh his sense of existence in front of Yan Yan.

Send flowers today, food tomorrow, and gadgets the day after. All in all, they will be refurbished in the future, and the things they send will never be heavy. Now that the servants of Ningxiang Pavilion have got their connections, they go to the concierge to receive things every morning, because their girls won’t be at ease if they don’t get them back.

I don’t know when Yan Yan was actually developed such a habit by Luo Huaiyuan. I have to say that his subtle kung fu is very good, just like that saying, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod can be ground into a needle.

But today, Luo Huaiyuan’s routine suddenly broke.

Seeing Mei Xiang coming back empty-handed, Yan Yan frowned unconsciously.

As if trying to conceal her emotions, she said again: “Maybe something has been delayed.” She didn’t notice this sentence, and she exposed her whole mind completely.

Luo Huaiyuan really delayed one thing, so much so that he actually forgot to explain to Xiao Anzi to send the things to others.

Xiao Anzi saw that His Highness looked wrong, and didn’t dare to bother. He took the things that His Highness said yesterday that he would give Girl Yan, and went down to do it by himself.

Luo Huaiyuan rubbed the pile of paper in his hand, and he couldn’t recover for a long time.

In recent years, he has slowly established his own intelligence agency. Know that news is the most important no matter when and where. Because getting the news as quickly as possible, you can seize the opportunity.

On the day of the last Yuan Festival, Luo Huaiyuan accidentally saw Yan Ting and Xu Xiangrong when they were talking, and was suspicious, and then ordered his men to investigate in secret.

This investigation lasted more than a month, but the information found was extremely complete. From the time when Yan Ting and Xu Xiangrong got on the line, to the exchanges between them, to these recent movements, there are records.

Of course, a lot of inside information is impossible to find out. For example, today others entered a house, who they saw in it, and what they did. These are not known, but there are signs of daily deeds. Some people may say that these can’t do anything, but Luo Huaiyuan can see, but there are many places that can be used.

There are indeed many. Knowing that Yan Ting has been haunting a house recently, Luo Huaiyuan ordered someone to go inside. After some difficult investigations, because the house was guarded extremely tightly, it was almost discovered several times. Actually came out a piece of news that did not surprise Luo Huaiyuan–

It turns out that those two people really have a leg!

Could it be that he really has bright eyes that are good at digging’corrupt’?

For this reason, Luo Huaiyuan took a hand mirror and looked at himself for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he realized that his eyes were indeed very bright.

If you press Do not mention, you will inevitably face multiple-choice questions of saying or not.

Even if Luo Huaiyuan feels that his little princess has a strong heart, he still doesn’t think she can accept this. You have to know that there is a mother-in-law involved here!

This **** Yan Ting, shouldn’t he see Mr. Zhen Guo fail to please him, so he turned his head and hugged Xu Xiangrong’s thigh? He really doesn’t hate it. The first half of his life to please a woman, just to have a future, is it possible to see a woman fail now, and the idea is hitting a man again? He is really cold!

I have to say that Luo Huaiyuan has the truth.

Luo Huaiyuan was trying various malicious ways to speculate on Yan Ting’s psychology. Someone came to report to Shen Qi, and it seemed that something was going on.

Seeing this, Luo Huaiyuan hurriedly put the stack of paper in his hand and hurriedly went to see Shen Qi.

It turned out that Shen Qi came to Luo Huaiyuan to say goodbye. The Lord Zhenguo had planned to let Shen Qi out of the capital after the New Year. Because the second wife of Shen was dragging him, Shen Qi didn’t tell Luo Huaiyuan.

No, he just decided to come to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion in a hurry.

Luo Huaiyuan had heard about this before, because Shen Qi had said it once before, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast.

The plan of the Shen family was to send Shen Qi to Pingshaguan. Once Shen Qi was interested in joining the army, his uncle Shen Dong was also there, and he would be able to take care of him. Needless to say, Shen Qi will be like his cousins ​​when he arrives, and he will be held in a very low position. Maybe he won’t be able to get ahead until a certain time, such as Shen Xuan. Either you have to wait for the average person of the previous generation to get old, and the above permits to retreat, before you can see the sun.

This mode of joining the army was different from what Shen Qi thought. He was even a little repulsive because of the lessons learned by his cousins, but he also knew that he had to leave Beijing.

Seeing Shen Qi’s depression, Luo Huaiyuan rolled his eyes and said: “Otherwise you don’t go to Pingshaguan, go to Fuzhou.”

“Fuzhou?”

“Yes, your cousin Shen Xuan is there. Fuzhou is both lively and crowded. It’s better than the Pingsha Pass where birds don’t shit. Anyway, it’s a mess, it’s better to have some fun. Shen. The eldest brother is in charge of the Fujian Navy. There are many, many ships. Have you seen the sea? Have you seen foreigners? Do you know how wide the sea is? There is a big fish in the sea, the size of a treasure ship, on its back Can spray water…”

Luo Huaiyuan turned on the mouth-cannon mode, and how could Shen Xiaoer be an opponent. After just a while, I was scratched by the hook.

“Is it as fun as you said?”

Luo Huaiyuan patted him on the shoulder, “Brother, when did I lie to you! Going there will definitely open your eyes! I still have a lot of business over there. If you don’t want to join your cousin’s navy, please help. I’m doing business, anyway, I have to do something for you!”

After Luo Huaiyuan’s flicker, Shen Qi hurriedly returned to the town government office.

After Shen Qi left, Luo Huaiyuan remembered that there was still something to do today.

When I came back to see Xiao Anzi, I hurriedly asked him. After hearing Xiao Anzi said that it was done, I felt relieved.

It’s just that should I tell the little princess?

***

At the same time, Pingsha Pass is entering a state of active preparation for war.

In autumn and winter, it is the time to let the Beiyi tribe offend. Because the grassland is different from the Central Plains, and the Beiyi people are nomads. Once they encounter bad or extremely cold weather, their lives will be unsustainable and can only survive by invading and plundering.

The weather this year was strange. There was a lot of rain in autumn. Not only did many places in Daxi have been hit by disasters, but it also had a serious impact on the Beiyi people living on the grasslands.

Because of this, Beiyi has repeatedly attacked since the fall. So far, there have been two encounters with the Beiyi people who came to fight the grass valley from Beiyi.

The reason why the Zhen Guogong line was able to suppress Beiyi for so long was that, in addition to its strong soldiers and the barrier of Pingshaguan natural danger, there was also the most fundamental reason that Daxi imposed an embargo policy on Beiyi.

Daxi not only stopped the exchange with Beiyi, but also prohibited all items, such as gold and silver foil, cloth, porcelain, iron, salt, sugar, etc., from trading with Beiyi.

Beiyi is a nomadic people, there is no forging craftsmanship, there is no salt mine, let alone porcelain and other complicated handicrafts.

There is no cloth to wear animal skins, but people cannot survive without salt. There are also iron tools, knives, guns, arrows, and even iron pots for civilians, which are extremely scarce for the Beiyi people. Because of this, it is often the case that North Yi enters the country and robs civilians’ homes.

After so many years of embargo, the living environment of the Beiyi people is extremely harsh, which has also created their vicious character. In addition to opposing Daxi, they also plundered the Western Regions and other places to their side and the Raksha Kingdom behind them. Otherwise, the Beiyi clan would have been destroyed.

Of course, if there is a ban, there is a crime.

Merchants have always been born in pursuit of profit. The court imposed an embargo policy on Beiyi. Many people would still smuggle and smuggle goods to Beiyi for trading, because horses and furs from Beiyi are also very popular in Daxi. . Therefore, the officers and soldiers stationed at Pingsha Pass, in addition to preventing Beiyi from invading, have an extra job to do, that is, to crack down on smuggling traders.

There are ordinary people among these vendors. Please don’t doubt that these ordinary people live in poverty. If it is an iron pot from the Daxi Civilian’s House, it only takes a few hundred yuan to buy it, but if it is sold to Beiyi people, it can be achieved. Selling a few taels or even dozens of taels. Such high profits drove these ignorant civilians to risk their lives and be willing to trade with the Beiyi people.

There are also some merchants. These merchants have repeatedly violated the prohibition and have been hit hard, but they have not changed it. Pingshaguan has the right to beheaded immediately when smuggling merchants are caught. .

Among them, another called the ‘generalized number’ is the most rampant.

Why is he rampant?

Because it took several years for the officers and soldiers of Pingsha Pass to catch the smuggled convoy of the’Guangyi’. For headaches.

Shen Dong hated this’General Purpose’, but he couldn’t catch the beginning and end, because every time he caught the convoy of’General Purpose’, he only asked if the owner was the big shopkeeper of General Purpose, but the others were never again. Can’t ask.

As the saying goes, there is no one who doesn’t get wet shoes when walking along the river.

Because this transaction was so important, the chief treasurer of the “Guangyi” took the initiative in person.

For the sake of safety, he even banned them widely, but Shen Dong was able to stay in Pingshaguan for so long, and the Beiyi people did not dare to take their heads and it was not a vain name. He had already seen the clues from the secrets of the “Guangyi” , Just caught the big treasurer right away.

The so-called cleverness is mistaken by cleverness.

This big treasurer boasts that he can count on all his organs, and he has been dealing with officers and soldiers on the Pingsha Pass for a long time. He has been widely used to confuse the officers and soldiers. Only when it is true or false can he fish in troubled waters. No one knows that this behavior is an expression of lack of confidence or even fear. Shen Dong has long been ‘famous’ to him, so how could he waste his pains and simply recruit all his hands and kill them all.

Regardless of which of you is true and which is false, a net can be caught, and there will always be one that is true!

After some identification, this person named ‘big shopkeeper’ finally emerged.

This ‘big shopkeeper’ is a shameless person, he is more than 40 years old, and he can’t find it in the crowd.

His subordinates did not actually confess him, because he acted meticulously, and even many of his subordinates didn’t know what he looked like. It was Shen Dong who saw the ink traces of this act, and he directly sent out all the words and cut them out, and the great treasurer came out by himself.

Shen Dong’s people were still worried that it might be an imposter, they tortured him a lot, and saw that he had something to say and that many things were right before they believed him.

The big shopkeeper came out, naturally not asking for death. After seeing these officers and soldiers confirm their identities, they asked to see Shen Dong.

Shen Dong doesn’t like dealing with such people.

In his mind, these smuggling and treason merchants should be decapitated. Catch one and cut the other, there will always be a day when they will be caught and killed. And these people are scheming, so why bother with them so as not to fall into the trap of each other.

Shen Dong ordered his subordinates to drag it out and slash it, but the big treasurer actually said a person’s name——

Yan Ting!

Shen Dong felt a little in his heart.

Many people at Pingsha Pass knew Yan Ting’s name, because Yan Ting was an airborne teacher. Many people below criticized him for coming by air. The loyal and loyal people under Shen Dong hated Yan Ting for giving the general a not-so-white name.

When Yan Tingfu came, there were not few people secretly squeezing him out, and seeing the general did not stop him, it was even more obvious. That’s why Yan Ting hated the people of the Shen family, and this was one of the reasons.

Yan Ting didn’t know that the military has always been in this manner. Everyone walked step by step from the rain of swords/guns and arrows. What they pay attention to is prestige and qualifications, and there are no people who get nothing for nothing.

It is not that there are no military merits that have come here, but those people are not long-term, first of all, they can’t convince the crowd. Even if he returns with military merit, who will sell his account afterwards?

Why is the Zhen Guo Gong family so prestigious in the army?

That was all made by the Shen family all these years!

This prestige is an intangible asset, you can’t see it, but it always exists.

It’s like when Emperor Xi came to the throne, Beijing was heavily guarded, and there was a rumor that the prince was conspiring to rebel. The prince of Zhen Guo shouted, his generals were like crucian carp who crossed the river, and under the banner of Kuangfu Orthodox, he led his troops into Beijing. No one doubted whether Lord Zhen Guo wanted to rebel. Maybe they were suspected, but these people still followed.

This is prestige!

Shen Dong thought that Yan Ting was his brother-in-law, and he did not plan for him, but also wanted him to understand the key points of this. Standing up on his own strength, coupled with the help of his own in the dark, in fact, it is not difficult to stand up. This kind of military merit is safe in the hands.

It’s a pity that Yan Ting couldn’t understand the painstaking effort involved, and even blamed the Shen family, feeling that they were deliberately suppressing themselves, and they were impatient to get the credit, so that they would break the disaster afterwards. ?
