Chapter 177

Zheng Zhongguang came to Wuzhou alone.

At first, I was still a little nervous.

However, as soon as I arrived at the post station in Wuzhou, I was warmly entertained.

The county magistrate, county lieutenant, meritorious Cao, Dian Shi, scribe and all held a grand reception for him. Even his residence was carefully equipped with young boys and servant girls.

The beauties sent from each family are also slim and graceful, one by one.

He never received such treatment. For a moment, he fell into a dreamland. His dream came true and he was overjoyed.

At first, he felt quite satisfied with his annual salary of 105 Liang silver.

Later, someone sent a painting and calligraphy.

It is said that it is worth thousands of gold. He sold it after changing hands.

Then I found out

Silver is really easy to earn.

Then, there are all kinds of people who give gifts in a variety of ways.

Until he married Xue Leying, the legitimate daughter of Xue Xiuguo, the former governor of ancient Anhui.

On the wedding day, he picked up his parents from Beijing.

Because he married the first daughter of Xue Xiuguo, and some people knew that he was the cousin of his seventh highness.

Ministers from other provinces also rushed over one after another.

The people of the Zheng family also learned that he is now in good luck. They also came to congratulate him on their own.

He finally swaggered in front of the Zheng family.

After marriage, he counted the gift money. After careful calculation, he was surprised to find that there were more than three million Liang.

More than three million Liang

If you depend on his salary, you won't have that number until you die.

Later, Xue Fuyin left office and promoted him as the Fuyin of ancient Anhui.

And he promoted Pu Youren as the prefect of Wuzhou.

He became a concubine of the empress of the house Yin. Within seven years, he married three wives and took fourteen concubines.

It's not that he is addicted to women, but that he takes a wife and concubine.

Those are all high sounding gifts

Now he doesn't need to sell those rare antiques.

Began to be artful and keen to collect.

Now, every year, just his three wives and 14 concubines' birthdays, his mother's father's birthdays, his children's birthdays, and every new year's festival, the officials at the bottom are well arranged and delivered without leakage.

Slowly, he didn't hate concubine Lian, and he didn't envy Xiao Zimu.

Occasionally I feel that his life is no worse than that of their mother and son.

And their mother and son may not be as comfortable as he is.

I even think that now I have become a local emperor in ancient Anhui, with an aunt and a cousin who is the prince behind me.

But he never dreamed of it.

He and his cousin met for the first time at his son's full moon banquet.

In this way, the sword is drawn

"Cousin? You really surprised me when I first met."

In Zheng Zhongguang's ear, there came Xiao Zimu's cool voice, mixed with some unspeakable feelings.

He couldn't help looking up and wanted to see the expression on his face.

Zheng Zhongguang looked at Xiao Zimu carefully and saw that his hair was tied with a bamboo hairpin and there was a faint special fragrance on his body.

The clouds are gradually closing in the evening, and the sky is light with colored glass.

Under the flower tree, the young man's face is like peach and apricot, and his posture is elegant.

Wearing a short brown, but still a lonely, thin snow and frost posture.

At this time, those dark and deep eyes stared at him coldly.

"Cousin, you have to let your people go first." Zheng Zhongguang smiled bitterly.

Already in such a situation, I didn't feel embarrassed. With his address, I replied.

Xiao Zimu glanced at Xin Ya and Xin Ya let go.

Zheng Zhongguang moved his sour limbs and was used to the life of rich clothes and food. He hasn't been in such a mess for a long time

He trimmed the corners of his clothes and straightened his neckline.

He ordered the trembling family members to go back to the backyard first, and asked the servants to turn on the lights, make two cups of tea and go to the study.

After explaining the trifles, he made an invitation gesture to Xiao Zimu and turned to lead the way.

Xiao Zimu motioned him to go alone, and Yin Guangbo and Xin Ya were forced to stay in the hospital.

"Gentlemen, why don't you follow me to the side hall and have a rest. It seems that our Lord and your highness have to talk for a long time." Lu Zhongfu, the housekeeper in the house, came towards them and asked aloud.

Lu Zhongfu is an old man left by Xue Xiuguo, the former government Yin. He is more stable and sophisticated than others. He sent a letter to Xue Xiuguo the first time it happened.

The other servants had long been frightened. They looked like pig liver on all sides and were uneasy in their hearts.

The two looked at each other. After looking at each other, Yin Guangbo agreed. Seeing this, Xin Ya followed them to the side hall.

"The servant at the door has been dragged down and scolded. He bumped into two noble people. Don't take it to heart." Lu Zhongfu smiled at them.

"Don't kill people, just punish them a little." Yin Guangbo watched the people in the city lead such a hard life. It must be that all the people in the house are cruel and cruel.

Although the servant looked down on others, he was not guilty to death.

"You are joking. How could you be so careless about human life? I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about our adults." Lu Zhongfu smiled.

"We have seen it with our own eyes. There can be no misunderstanding." Yin Guangbo tilted his lips and looked disgusted.

"Yes, our adults did receive gifts. But they haven't done anything else." Lu Zhongfu smiled and looked positive.

"He didn't set the rice price?" Yin Guangbo saw that he looked serious, but he still didn't believe it at all.

"No, our family hasn't even raised taxes. Many officials can't match it in this matter alone." Lu Zhongfu's expression was quite proud.

"Who set the price of rice?" Yin Guangbo was slightly surprised and couldn't help asking.

"Well, I don't have much to say. Your highness must find out. Although my adults are greedy for pleasure, the common people won't do it." Lu Zhongfu's reply was vague, but he tried his best to maintain Zheng Zhongguang.

"In that case, why should you speak up for him in front of us? Anyway, the matter will come out in the end." Yin Guangbo was dissatisfied with his prevarication, and his tone was satirical.

"Lord Zheng, he is very kind to the servants in the house. So even the servants at the door are spoiled by him." Lu Zhongfu expressed some emotion in his words.

Yin Guangbo didn't want to say more.

The atmosphere was a little awkward in an instant. Fortunately, without taking a few steps, the side hall arrived.

Lu Zhongfu ordered his servants to serve two cups of tea. Seeing that they didn't want to talk, he told them to leave.

Yin Guangbo sipped his tea. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking Xin Ya.

"Xin Ya, what do you think?"
