Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 798 The fish is in the kitchen and needs to be steamed

Back at Zhenxihou's Mansion, it was already [-]:[-] PM, Xu Jia just walked into his yard, and found several maids standing outside, some from Mrs. Xu's courtyard, and some from Song Fang's courtyard.

Seeing her, the maids all saluted together.

Song Fang in the house heard the movement, and hastily opened the curtain to come out, her face full of anxiety, "Jiajia, where have you been so late at night?"

Xu Jia glanced at her maid, Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang said in a low voice: "Madam and Young Mistress insist on coming to see the girl, even slaves can't stop them..."

Xu Jia didn't care about her, and turned to look at Song Fang, with a smile on her face, "It's so late, why are mother and sister-in-law still up?"

"I can't sleep." Song Fang thought of the man being detained in the Princess's mansion, so why would she feel drowsy, "Jiajia, have you gone out to think of a way?"

Naturally, Xu Jia couldn't tell them that he was with his foreigner at night, so he just nodded, "I went to Li Shilang's residence."

Song Fang was startled, "You went to their house, Li Shilang can let you come back intact?"

The one who was humiliated was Li Shilang's daughter, and Xu Jia was Xu Shu's own sister, so it would be impossible for anyone else to be kind to Xu Jia.

"There was some misunderstanding." Xu Jia said patiently, "Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Li have already written the whole story and sent it to her natal family. I believe that Li Shilang will not distinguish between right and wrong. There should be a result in two days. "

Song Fang listened, still worried, and dragged Xu Jia in to sit.

Mrs. Xu was also so anxious that she lost her sleep, and when she saw the sister-in-law and sister-in-law coming in, she asked how it was.

Xu Jia had no choice but to repeat what she had said to her sister-in-law before, and then comforted her mother so that her mother did not have to worry, saying that her elder brother was not afraid of the shadow, and no matter how big the eldest princess's mansion was, it would not be as big as Wang Fayun of Chu State.

Mrs. Xu felt better this way.

Xu Jia was afraid that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would ask her where she had been, so she excused herself by saying that she was too sleepy and wanted to sleep, and sent her mother and sister-in-law out after a while.

When there were only Xu Jia and Mo Xiang left in the room, Mo Xiang patted her chest in fear, "Girl, if you don't come back, the servant will really be stuck." He asked her again, "Is everything settled? "

"It should be settled." Xu Jia sat down on the couch, sipping tea slowly, "If there is no accident, the Feng family will not be able to win this lawsuit."

……

As Xu Jia expected, the Feng family failed to settle the lawsuit.

Early in the morning, Li Shilang rode his horse to the Dachang Princess's mansion with a whip, and before everyone could react, he broke into Feng Chuan's courtyard directly, and took his sleepy son-in-law out of bed. If he was picked up, he would be beaten severely if he didn't say anything else.

Feng Chuan rolled all over the floor crying in pain.

The eldest princess in the inner courtyard got the letter and ran out in a hurry, and saw that Feng Chuan had been beaten all over, and all the servants were standing aside, all pale, but no one dared to come forward to persuade him .

Li Shilang had bushy eyebrows and a square face, he was tall and burly, the servants were no match for him at all, whoever steps forward right now will suffer.

The Eldest Princess watched, her eyes darkened, and then she said angrily: "My father-in-law came to our house early in the morning to beat people, what is this saying?"

Li Shilang took the whip away, kicked Feng Chuan aside who was covered in blood on his back, and sat down on the stone bench with a golden sword, "The eldest princess is not the biological mother of this evil beast, I can't tell you, Let someone go and invite Concubine Feng here!"

Princess Qinshui hates people the most for saying that she married a businessman to fill in the house, but now she is blatantly exposed by Li Shilang. Still in front of so many servants, she suddenly said old Blood gushed into his throat, his face became more gloomy and ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! This is the princess mansion bestowed by the late emperor, how can you allow you to act wildly? Someone, get Li Shilang out!"

In a fit of anger, she didn't care if Li Shilang was called her father-in-law.

Li Shilang sat steadily, his eyes were like knives on Feng Chuan, and then he looked at the eldest princess, "Since the eldest princess wants to stand up and take charge, then I have to talk to you, my daughter of the Li family Married to your Feng family for so many years, the housekeeper and director had children and raised children, and thought that there was nothing wrong with the Feng family. Can't protect him, let people bully him like this, do you think he should hit him?"

This question directly silenced Princess Qinshui.

Unexpectedly, Feng Chuan hadn't asked anyone to go to the Yamen to hand over the papers to file a lawsuit, but his father-in-law came to the door first and beat him up.

The place on his back where he had been whipped was in hot pain, and Feng Chuan burst into tears, "Mother, please help me."

Princess Qinshui was about to say something, but Li Shilang said again: "After searching all night, I finally found those bastards who bullied my daughter. They are all waiting in the government office now. I heard that your family has invited After writing the pleadings, if you want to seek justice for my daughter, then you don't have to sit still, let's go together, and let Mr. Fuyin have a good trial to see which bastard who has blackened his heart and grandson set up the trap Harm my daughter, find him out, I will beat him to the ground for the rest of his life!"

Even people have been found, how can we not know who did it?

Hearing what his father-in-law, Lao Taishan said, Feng Chuan's eyes darkened, and he fainted from fright.

Princess Qinshui was so angry that her face was livid. Originally, according to the plan, people went to the government office early this morning to hand over the pleadings to make things worse. Li's reputation was ruined. Concubine, it's really impossible to give up the position of wife. The Feng family sent her out with a letter of divorce.

No matter what the situation is, it should be under his own control. Unexpectedly, Li Shilang would suddenly intervene. How did he know about this and how did he find those people?

Li Shilang glanced at Princess Qinshui's face, sneered, stood up, strode out of the princess mansion, and went straight to the yamen.

……

In the follow-up of this incident, Li Shilang undoubtedly had the upper hand, and made those strong men admit in the court that Feng Chuan and Princess Dachang were the masterminds behind the scenes, and their purpose was to marry another girl from the Jiuli nationality in order to abandon the Li family. It is naturally impossible for the eldest princess to admit that the two parents are deadlocked in court.

It was a matter of national policy, and Chen Fuyin did not dare to make up his mind casually, so he slapped the gavel to postpone the trial, and then handed over the papers to the cabinet, explaining the matter from beginning to end.

It happened that the cabinet and the six ministries were discussing matters, and when the report came, Zhao Xi was sitting at the head.

Zhang Sheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, frowned after reading it.

Zhao Xi noticed something strange, and said, "There is no personal matter in the political hall. If there is something really going on, Mr. Zhang Ge doesn't have to hide it. Let everyone have an idea."

Zhang Sheng hesitated to go out, and said truthfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, the Shuntian government office took over a case, which seems to be related to the newly implemented national policy, Chen Fu Yin dared not make up his mind, and handed over the note to the old minister for advice. "

"What case? Let's talk about it." Zhao Xi motioned.

Zhang Sheng looked at everyone hesitantly, and finally had to tell the story of Princess Qinshui's mansion.

When the veterans heard this, they were in an uproar.

Zhao Xi didn't say a word, and there was no joy or anger in his stern eyebrows.

The national policy of intermarriage with the Jiuli nationality was originally proposed by Song Yuanbao, but Zhao Xi just nodded in agreement. How to implement it has to be arranged by the cabinet.

Of course, the Ministry of Household Affairs is the head office of the Chu State, and the cabinet will definitely find them if they want to implement national policies.

However, Zhao Xi was quite surprised that the Ministry of Household Affairs would agree to reduce or exempt [-]% of the tax. He looked at the Minister of the Household Department, "Shangshu Xun, have you ever thought about how many merchants there are in this world? The [-]% tax would cost tens of millions. Two silver, if the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge, next year the national treasury will face a huge deficit, then, what will be used to fill the gap?"

Xun Shangshu knelt on the ground, "Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed dereliction of duty for the ministers to fail to limit the tax exemption standard, but the [-]% tax must be exempted, otherwise the benefits are too low, and the merchants will not marry."

Zhao Xi also knew that it was easy for the high-ranking person to say a word, but it was not easy to deal with the yamen of the various ministries. Besides, it was difficult to make intermarriage under the premise that the people of Chu State so rejected the Jiuli people. He did not overdo it. , Just put down a sentence, let them draw up the latest tax exemption standard as soon as possible within three days, to prevent similar cases from happening again.

……

The cabinet and the six ministries discussed for three days, and the case of Feng and Li's family was shelved for three days, and Xu Shu was also locked up for three more days.

However, in the past three days, the direction of public opinion outside has completely changed. No one pays attention to the matter of Li’s humiliation. Instead, the streets and alleys are discussing national policies. The letter of divorce drives the wife out of the house, and it is like the sudden sudden death of the wife of a certain wealthy businessman.

Before the Feng family incident happened, no one would contact the national policy of "intermarriage". , or be suspended, or die suddenly.

Obviously it was all for the [-]% tax.

The rumors intensified, and Mrs. Shangjia, who was fine, shivered.

Three days later, the new policy was introduced.

The [-]% tax reduction for intermarried merchants remains unchanged, but the premise must be the first marriage, and the declaration can only be started after three years of marriage. If you are divorced, divorced, or passed away unfortunately, the privilege of tax reduction and exemption will be withdrawn.

……

After Princess Qinshui heard about it, she was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick. Feng Chuan ran to Li Shilang's house and had a big fight with his old father-in-law. Feng Chuan, let someone blow him out again.

Things have come to this point, it can already be proved that it has nothing to do with Xu Shu.

He was imprisoned for several days, described as a mess, with blue stubble growing on his chin, and went straight to Zhenxihou's mansion after he came out of Feng's house.

Mrs. Xu also specially asked the servant to put two firecrackers outside the gate to scare Xu Shu, and then she took him in for a banquet.

……

Seeing that her brother had returned safely, Xu Jia finally felt relieved, and she took Mo Xiang to the streets to pick silk thread to make sword tassels for Yun Huai.

Mo Xiang was very hesitant, "Patriarch Yun's sword is worn close to his body. Is it inappropriate for the girl to make sword tassels for him?"

Standing in front of the counter, Xu Jia looked carefully at the several silk threads brought out by the shopkeeper, and replied: "I have already promised him, it would be inappropriate not to do it, besides, he helped me rescue my brother and make a sword It’s nothing for Sui to give to him.”

Although she didn't understand why Yun Huai wanted this.

Xu Jia's hands are quite skillful, and he almost finished it in one night.

In order to match the moon-white scabbard of Yunhuai's Beidou sword, she specially chose water-blue ice silk thread to make tassels, adorned with a suet white jade engraved with curly cloud patterns.

When looking for Yun Huai, Xu Jia didn't bring Mo Xiang with her. She hesitated outside the gate for a while before reaching out to knock on the door.

It was Yun Shisan who came to open the door. He was very happy to see Xu Jia, "Miss Xu is here?"

Xu Jia asked, "Is your master here?"

"Master just came back from fishing." Yun Shisan said.

The corners of Xu Jia's mouth twitched slightly. She remembered that the last time she came to beg him, he had just returned from fishing.

"Your Patriarch seems to like fish very much." Xu Jia said.

"Master only likes to eat the fish he catches." Yun Shisan corrected her with a smile, and then asked Xu Jia to sit in the room.

Xu Jia followed him in, and immediately saw Yun Huai sitting on the stone bench under the banana tree, holding a book in his hand.

Xu Jia walked up to him, took out the sword spikes she had made and handed them to him, "I made it overnight, take a look, if there is anything I don't like, I'll take it back and change it right away."

Yun Huai held the book in one hand, took the sword tassel in the other, and stared at it for a long time.

Seeing Yun Shisan going to help Ji's mother chop firewood, Xu Jia saw that she and Yun Huai were the only two in this place, and thinking about all the things that night, she sat down opposite him, "Well, Patriarch Yun, can I discuss the matter with you?" thing?"

Yun Huai hummed, "Say it."

Xu Jia took a deep breath, summoned up his courage and said, "You have helped me so many times, I should repay you, I just want to discuss with you, if you want something, can you just say it? I'm afraid that sometimes I can't react and make you unhappy."

I've only heard that her daughter's mind is difficult to guess, and it's the first time she has met a man with such a twisted mind, which is really a headache.

Yun Huai nodded when he heard the words, with a very calm and natural tone, "The fish is in the kitchen and needs to be steamed."

Xu Jia: "...What???"
