Nightwatcher Chapter 60: A good couple (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 confidential and sealed in the cabinet.

One of them can only be viewed by officials with real powers above the third grade and bachelor's degree.

The content of the dossier is that Xu Pingfeng, the second disciple of Tanhua Lang and Jianzheng, colluded with the legacy of the royal family 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 sale of officials.

Nowadays, Dagengren, Yushi, and Dali Temple are secretly investigating all Beijing officials to identify possible spies.

Officials everywhere have also encountered secret investigations.

Another dossier records the truth that Emperor Yuanjing, King Zhenbei, and Emperor Jeanne 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 borders of Qingzhou and Yongzhou have been well defended. The imperial court sent several imperial edicts to Yunzhou and asked Yunzhou to command Yang Chuannan to return to Beijing to report on his duties, but there was no news."

Wang Shoufu said in a deep voice:

"Yunzhou did not turn back, but it will happen sooner or later. The dark child who was fighting the guards in Yunzhou is still there, and the Yunzhou army and the 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 next autumn. But before that, Yunzhou may be the first step, and the court is ready."

Xu Xinnian understood: "So, the treasury has no extra money and food for disaster relief."

Wang Shoufu was silent.

...........

In the large spacious room, there was silence for a while.

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."

Actually, in the current style of corruption and 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 in hospitality.

It's all secretly enjoyment.

Only those who have been rewarded like this by the Wang family can use it dignifiedly.

Sister-in-law Li Xianghan twisted a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth, looked at Xu Lingyue diagonally across, and smiled:

"It's all a family, let the subordinates pack two catties of beast gold charcoal later, it is not a rare thing at all."

The message revealed by this sentence is: Although it was rewarded by 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 can't enjoy in this life.

Mrs. Wang smiled and drank a cup of tea. She needed two daughters-in-law to "show off" the Wang family's heritage, 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 60 catties of beast gold charcoal in the house. This winter, I think it will be enough."

She has a soft voice and sincere expression, and she can't see that she is showing off.

There was a violent silence in the house, and the faces of the Wang's female relatives turned weird. The snobbish sister-in-law asked in a low voice:

"You bought it on the black market? Sixty catties, how much silver is this..."

Mrs. Wang coughed, stopped the eldest wife’s inquiry with her eyes, and said lightly:

"Lingyue, beast gold charcoal is something for the queen, although many big families buy it secretly. But this kind of thing is just not said. If it is spread out, it will be condemned in the palace. From now on, stay away Said outside, do you understand."

Madam 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 has expanded so much. 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 often don't 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.

Sister-in-law said in surprise: "The two princesses are rewarded?"

The blankness in the eyes of her and the second sister-in-law is not concealed. As wealthy wives living in the compound, they only know that Xu Jiadalang is very powerful, but the details of all aspects are 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 merit and talent, 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 sister-in-laws suddenly became more polite, and their smiles became enthusiastic.

Mrs. Wang's face was solemn, and said: "I heard Simu say that Xu Yinluo is no longer in the capital?"

"Big Brother went on a trip." Xu Lingyue replied.

In the next chat, the older sisters and the second sisters kept "showing off their wealth", and they always showed the superiority of the rich and powerful family without experiencing them, in order to highlight the prominence of the Wang family.

Sister-in-law said: "Erlang works in the Hanlin 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 New Year."

Xu Lingyue said: "Before the eldest brother left, I had arranged for the second brother."

The second sister-in-law said: "Erlang was born in Yunlu Academy, and he is very talented. It is only the practice of official favors that is the article, and the 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."

My sister-in-law said: "My sister is not married yet, my sister-in-law will introduce you to a few young handsome talents from the family."

Xu Lingyue said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, half of your eldest brother is enough."

Sister-in-law: "..."

After a battle, the second sister-in-law lost.

They suddenly 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 sister-in-laws have been given the rhythm by Xu Lingyue. Every time they show their superiority, Xu Lingyue moved out of Xu Qi'an. This is obviously a comparison of the overall strength of the Wang family and the Xu family.

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.

Russian, a pair of children ran in, a boy and a girl.

The boy has a tiger head and a 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 at first glance, she is about seven years old.

"Grandma!"

The two children reduced their smiles and said respectfully.

"Brother Hao and Sister Die are here."

Mrs. Wang showed a smile on her 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 children of the same age with her sullen eyes.

The boy is also examining this strange girl.

My sister-in-law's eyes lit up, "Oh," she said displeased: "Haoer, Dieer, 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.

Stupefied and greedy...The two sister-in-laws secretly shook their heads.

Madam Wang's face was a little smile.

My 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 becomes more obvious:

"This can't be done. Although we 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 still two 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, and 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, just let them go.

"Okay!"

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Mrs. Wang."

After a pause, Xu Lingyue said: "In fact, Lingyin has been learning martial arts recently, so she wasted her homework. I also think she should read more to read."

"Practicing martial arts?"

A woman in a room showed an expression of "this is vulgar". The martial artist was originally vulgar, and women who learned martial arts were 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: "Hao'er has a good foundation. The Keqing from the mansion praised him as a good seedling, so he was accepted 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, also It is both civil and military."

The tone is quite proud.

Xu Lingyue lowered her head: "My sister has only one strength."

I am very inferior.

Wang Hao can't find an opponent of the same age on weekdays, he finally saw one, and said hurriedly:

"Grandma, I have a sense of measure. 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 she was about to refuse, but she heard Xu Lingyue say: "Okay."

Huh? Mrs. Wang glanced at her, and had to say: "It's OK."

Immediately ask the maid to call a guard.

Wang Hao and Xu Lingyin left the house and came to the yard.

Xu Lingyue, Wang Simu, 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, let me see your strength."

Speaking, pointed to the stone bench aside: "Move the stool."

For children, 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 blue veins bulging. It took ten steps to exhaustion. During the process, Mrs. Wang kept shouting beside him:

"Slower, slower..."

Second sister-in-law praised: "Haoer is good at."

My sister-in-law smiled and said: "In fact, it is better to study. Alas, I didn't want him to practice martial arts, but Haoer is really good at it."

The sister-in-law passed through Versailles without a teacher.

The middle-aged guard exclaimed: "Little Master has a bright future in the future."

He then looked at Xu Lingyin: "Don't force it."

Xu Lingyin finally finished the 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 raised to the top of his head.

I lifted it to the top of my head...

One-handed.........

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 family's young boy is dumbfounded.

Boom!

Xu Lingyin threw the stone table back to its original position and looked at her sister in a naive manner: "Can you fight?"

Go back to eat after playing.

"No!"

"No more!"

Mrs. Wang and Sister-in-law screamed at the same time.

At this time, Xu Lingyue was still the harmless appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, and said inferiorly:

"Ring tone is nothing, just a little bit of strength, and my eldest brother also thinks she is not qualified."

My 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 leaving 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 from the mansion were holding a lot of gift boxes. one's gift.

He did not enter the inner hall, standing in the distance slightly nodded, waiting for his sisters and servants to come over, and the three brothers and sisters left the palace.

Getting into the carriage, the wheels are noisy, Xu Xinnian glanced at the girl and said:

"How do you feel?"

Xu Lingyue smiled and said: "It's not bad, Sister Si Mu listens to the rules."

Speak the rules? 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 him.

...........

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. His wife, Mrs. Wang, two daughters-in-law, and daughter Wang Simu, sat silently.

The daughter is okay, the wife Wang has a serious face, and the two daughter-in-laws can hardly conceal their frustration and loss.

Wang Shoufu said lightly: "Is it troublesome?"

The two daughters-in-law did not speak.

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, I just think that the Xu family's marriage with us is not high."

Sister-in-law nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

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."

I will pay more attention to the Xu family in the future, and she quietly put away her superiority.

Suddenly Wang Simu said: "Father, my sister-in-law promised Miss Xu Jia to come to the house to study."

Wang Shoufu asked, "What's the problem?"

This kind of trivial matter, don't need to discuss with him.

Wang Simu quietly said: "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 hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter... He is even more strange ~ IndoMTL.com~ Why is the family member suddenly defeated and depressed with no fighting spirit.

............

Back 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 he had eaten in the Wang Mansion with her.

Xu Lingyue went to the east wing and reported to her mother.

When my aunt saw her daughter coming back, she 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."

My aunt didn’t believe me, and poked her daughter’s forehead: "You girl, even if you are bullied, you will endure it."

Speaking, greet my daughter to sit down at the table, with a heartfelt voice:

"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, if you marry in the future, use what your mother taught you to deal with your mother-in-law."

Xu Lingyue obediently nodded: "Is that mother the same to grandma back then."

My aunt pouted: "Did you forget? Your grandmother passed away before I married your father."

Xu Lingyue sighed: "Mother, your life is really good."

............

Xiangzhou, Chai Mansion.

He is eight feet tall and wears a red and yellow robes. He came outside the middle gate.

"Troubled donors report, it is difficult for poor monks to survive."

The burly monk put his hands together.

At this time, the Difficulty King Kong has condensed all the breath, except for the tower-like body, it is no different from ordinary people, and the ring of fire behind his head has also converged.

The concierge glanced at the big man in horror, and trembled: "Big, Master wait a minute..."
