"Oh? What is the relationship between the national teacher and the Empress Dowager?" Xiao Baoshan asked.
Qin Yilun lowered his voice and said, "according to the anecdotal rumors, there was adultery and love between the Empress Dowager and the national teacher. When the former Emperor was still there, they had a secret connection with music. Now the former Emperor is gone, and the National Teacher openly went in and out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, regardless of all kinds of gossip in the palace."
Xiao Baoshan really doesn't pay attention to these rumors at ordinary times. He didn't inquire about these gossip in the capital earlier. After listening to Qin Yilun's words, he asked, "doesn't the National Teacher's wife know?"
"Naturally, I know, but I can only turn a blind eye. It is said that the national teacher married his wife in the past, which was arranged by the family. At that time, he was interested in the power of his wife's family, but now the general situation of the National Teacher's wife's family is gone, and his wife naturally has no right to speak in the government. Therefore, people are hungry and thin by reading scriptures and fasting at home all day."
Xiao Baoshan drank another glass of wine and said, "the national master's move... Is really unspeakable."
"No!" Qin Yilun said again, "so, that's why the lower official just suggested you come back first, otherwise you can't wait for the national teacher to come back at the gate of the palace. Also, I'm afraid it's also the National Teacher's meaning that your wife is in the palace."
Xiao Baoshan was a little depressed.
Qin Yilun then talked with Xiao Baoshan about the current government. He seemed to trust Xiao Baoshan very much. No matter what he said in his heart, he said to Xiao Baoshan and sighed: "in my opinion, the current government situation is even more chaotic than when the emperor was there."
Xiao Baoshan didn't say anything. He just drank and ate with Qin Yilun.
……
When it was getting dark, Xiao Baoshan estimated the time. He thought that the national teacher would be back soon, so he said goodbye to Qin Yilun.
Qin Yilun asked him, "where is general Xiao going?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "national master's house."
"But isn't your wife in the imperial master's residence? You go there..."
Xiao Baoshan drank up the remaining wine in the wine cup, and then said, "if you can save one, it's one."
Can you save one?
Are there two ladies in xiaobaoshan?
Qin Yilun thought for a while and finally remembered that it should not be Mrs. Xiao, but Mrs. Xiao's friend.
……
After the national master came out of the palace, he went straight back to the house in a sedan chair.
This time, he failed to bring ye Xiaoxian out. He had some helplessness and some uneasiness.
But he was helpless with the Empress Dowager. Who let himself owe that woman? Although he has never paid much attention to feelings, he still has some affection for the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress Dowager is the only emotional woman in his life.
As for ye Xiaoxian, although he has no feelings, he doesn't want her to die, especially by his mother. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager will know and hate him in the future.
Alas, I can coax you for a while.
Just thinking, the sedan chair suddenly stopped at this time.
The national master asked the housekeeper outside, "what's going on?"
The housekeeper said, "national teacher, Xiao... Xiao Shilang is in front."
"Oh?"
The national master ordered people to put down the sedan chair, and then opened the curtain of the sedan chair. Suddenly, the tall figure of xiaobaoshan appeared in front of him!
Xiaobaoshan is standing in the middle of the road, one person, the whole person is noble and upright.
Many people surrounded him and talked about the situation in front of him:
"Isn't this general Xiao? I saw him when he triumphed today."
"Now it's not general Xiao, it's the Xiao waiter."
"Is there a difference?"
"There is a big difference. It is said that he will not fight and become a civil servant."
"What is he doing here?"
"I don't know. It's said that Xiao Shilang's wife is a guest at the national master's house. He may have come to pick up his wife, or he may not want to be a Shilang and settle accounts with the national master, because the national master didn't let him go to the battlefield."
“……”
The national master was very tired of listening to the comments of the people around him.
If it had been normal, he would have had these people driven away.
But Xiao Baoshan stood in the middle of the road with a sense of righteousness. The people around him seemed to have a dependency. They were not even afraid of the national teacher.
Xiao Baoshan is now a popular man in the capital. The national master should give him some face. We can't go too far.
So he came out of the sedan chair with a smile, and then went to xiaobaoshan: "why did xiaoshilang come here if he didn't go to the new residence to decorate his new house? Could it be that he was waiting for me?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "exactly."
Xiao Baoshan is serious and upright, which sets off the image of the national teacher.
The national master smiled again and said, "then why is Xiao Shilang looking for me?"
"Important people!" Xiaobao mountain road.
"Didn't I tell you that your wife is in the palace and the Empress Dowager is inviting her to be a guest in the palace? Don't worry, the Empress Dowager will reunite your husband and wife soon. You should arrange your new residence first. Don't come back when your wife wants a bed without a bed and a table without a table. It's so shabby, isn't it?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "I don't mean my wife, but my wife's friend, Jin Xiaoyu."
"Oh... She..." the National Teacher almost forgot that Jin Xiaoyu was still at home.
In his heart, he quickly calculated the interests of letting Jin Xiaoyu go. If he let Jin Xiaoyu go, he would have fewer people who can use him. If he doesn't let go, he's afraid it will fall on people's tongue.
Xiao Baoshan said loudly, "master, my wife is in the palace now. You can't keep her friends away. Besides, I'm back now. I should take care of her friends. I won't bother master."
Xiao Baoshan said so loudly that the people around him heard him.
So these people began to talk again.
"Why did the national master shut his wife's friend in the house?"
"It's quite inappropriate. It's still a woman."
"Now Xiao Shilang comes to ask for someone. He won't let him go?"
“……”
With Xiaobao mountain here, these people have no scruples at all. They can say whatever they want.
The national master smiled. If he didn't let people go, the people in the capital didn't know how to talk about him. Maybe someone would throw rotten eggs at him on the way out tomorrow.
The national teacher couldn't help saying, "Xiao Shilang came to pick up Miss Jin. Of course, you can. Now that you're back, there's no reason why I still hold her, right? Why don't you come to my house first, let's have a cup of tea, and then you pick up Miss Jin."
Xiao Baoshan didn't eat him: "no, I'll wait here. Just let someone send her out."
"Go in and sit down for a while. You have just returned from the battlefield. You have worked hard and made great achievements. I can't reward you well."
Xiao Baoshan blocked him with the words of the National Teacher: "I'm sorry. After receiving Miss Jin, the lower officer will go back to the new residence to decorate the house, so as not to have a bed or a table when his wife comes back soon."
National Teacher: "
Xiao Baoshan said again, "please send Jin Xiaoyu out."
When Xiao Baoshan finished, the people around him began to talk again:
"The national master doesn't want to let people go, does he?"
"The Xiao waiter has a new residence, but he still doesn't let people go? What are you doing with a girl?"
"Don't you want to take other people's girls as hostages?"
“……”
The national master was very angry, but it was not easy to attack. He didn't want to continue to deal with xiaobaoshan here. He just said, "OK, please wait here. I'll send someone to send Miss Jin out now."
The national master angrily returned to the sedan chair.
Xiao Baoshan still stood in the middle of the road seriously. He didn't give way when the national master's sedan chair passed by.
Those servants of the national master did not dare to call Xiao Baoshan, so they had to pass carefully from one side.
……
Guoshi mansion.
Jin Xiaoyu is stuffy in the house.
After ye Xiaoxian entered the palace, she was alone in the yard.
Although they can also go out for a walk and say a few words with those on duty, they all deal with her and dare not say too much to her.
She is worried about ye Xiaoxian. She has been in the palace for so long and hasn't come back. Is something wrong?
However, the people around didn't know ye Xiaoxian's situation in the palace. She was even more anxious when she asked three questions.
She wanted to ask the national teacher several times, but she couldn't see anyone. She was stopped halfway.
And the National Teacher's wife, since seeing ye's true face, came over from time to time to make a few sarcastic remarks, saying that ye Xiaoxian looked like the Empress Dowager and used her face to seduce his national teacher.
Jin Xiaoyu is also drunk and seduces his national teacher? What's an old man to seduce? People marry Xiao Baoshan, okay?
Xiao Baoshan is much better than an old man in every way, okay?
In short, Jin Xiaoyu almost went crazy living in it.
That evening, the National Teacher's wife sent her mammy again. As usual, she scolded Ye Xiaoxian for being a fox spirit and Jin Xiaoyu for being a friend of the fox spirit.
At the beginning, Jin Xiaoyu was too lazy to reason. A grand national teacher's wife even asked her people to do such things.
Do they want to live in the National Teacher's residence?
Is it a fox spirit? Won't she find her own man to prove it? Have to hold on to the two victims?
Jin Xiaoyu rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out and scold the old woman, but at this time, the manager of the national teacher came.
"Miss Jin, please clean up and come with me!"
Jin Xiaoyu asked angrily, "where are you going?"
"Someone is coming to pick you up outside."
Jin Xiaoyu was stunned: "someone came to pick me up? Who? Where are you going to pick me up?"
Isn't it going to the palace with leaves?
The manager said again, "it's Xiao Shilang."
Jin Xiaoyu didn't react for a moment: "who is Xiao Shilang?"
"Xiao Baoshan."
"He came back from the war?" Jin Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"Yes, clean up and come out with me."
Jin Xiaoyu resolutely went back to the house to clean up.
However, when she saw the clothes left by the leaves, she hesitated.
Leaves don't know what's going on now? Will she come back here?
Then I thought, since Xiao Baoshan can pick her up, I'm sure I'll go to ye, too. Maybe I've received ye now.
Jin Xiaoyu simply cleaned up all their things.
