Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 156
Seeing that the second master frowned, intending to refute, Guan Shi hurriedly took a step back: "This is what the old master meant. I just don't want the second master to be charged with unfilial piety. If the old master wakes up in the future, he will bow his head and stamp his feet, and be punished by the second master." I'm so angry..."

Zhao Chengde couldn't laugh or cry.

He just saved it, since Guanshi Hu has been by the old man's side for a long time, he will be as cunning as the old man.

Zhao Chengde closed the book and said earnestly: "The fourth girl has not yet reached the age of Ji, and the wedding date has not yet been set, so there is no need to worry about Guan's affairs. When the old man wakes up, I will bring Song Jingxing to have a good chat with him. Song Jingxing is an extremely intelligent child, and Su Shangshu is just recommending him. He, if Su Shangshu is really a bad person, I believe Jing Xing will know how to do it."

Manager Hu still has something to say: "Before the old master and his wife had the idea of ​​separating the family, the old slave once said that the old master said that if the elder master did not come back, the family could not be separated. But now the elder master is back, the second master, but Still want to separate the family? The second master saved it, the old man is the only son, and he likes to have his children and grandchildren around his knees to enjoy the family happiness."

Zhao Chengde was silent, and asked Guanshi Hu: "If the old man is sober, would you like to let the fourth girl enter the palace?"

I don't want to!Manager Hu hurriedly shook his head.The old man loved the fourth girl the most, and he once wanted the fourth girl to find a son-in-law, so why would he let the fourth girl enter the palace and live a miserable life.

Zhao Chengde smiled: "Even if the family is separated in the future, the fourth girl will not disrespect her grandfather."

Then this is, if the long house is in a hurry, the second master will still insist on separating the family.Manager Hu remained silent.Although the second master seems to be a thin and weak scholar, pedantic and old-fashioned, he is the one who does not take concubines, and he is the one who loves his wife and children.Now that the old man is sick, he is the one who comes to serve the sick.

The second master has a tenacious temperament.

Forget it, the world will be divided after a long time, let alone a family with many children.

The two brothers in the front yard ate wine for half the night, their cups and dishes were messed up, and they were supported by the servants of each room to go back to their respective yards.

After passing through the Chuihua Gate, the servants wanted to help Zhao Chengze go to the back room, Zhao Chengze suddenly straightened up and said, "Go to the wife's room."

Hey, the old man is not drunk.

Of course Zhao Chengze was not drunk, not to mention he had been in the officialdom for many years, even if he coaxed the concubines every day, he would use some tricks.Otherwise, how can the rain and dew be evenly covered.

Mrs. Huang had rested a long time ago, she put on her clothes when she heard the movement, and smelled the smell of alcohol as soon as she met her.

Having not smelled this stench for many years, Huang covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and asked Qiu Hong to prepare hangover soup.

Zhao Chengze waved his hand: "No need, I will leave after a few words with you."

Huang said coldly: "Speak quickly."

Zhao Chengze said: "Tomorrow, I'm going to scare my second brother into quitting the marriage. You will sing the red face, and I will sing the bad face."

After all, this husband is still useful, Huang's face softened, and he agreed: "Okay."

Qiuhong opened the curtain to invite Zhao Chengze to leave, the lights were dim, Zhao Chengze was still a little drunk, looking at Qiuhong's face he couldn't help but feel a little pretty.After looking at the faces of women in Jiangnan for a long time, this sudden look at the women in Central Plains also feels fresh.

Zhao Chengze couldn't help feeling a little moved, but Qiu Hong suddenly put down the curtain, shook her head and went in.This old guy doesn't even look at what he looks like, he is dark and thin, and only those few concubines can handle him.Accustomed to seeing the handsome faces of the gentlemen in the family, Qiu Hong's standard for choosing a son-in-law is very high.

Zhao Chengze suddenly felt ashamed after being slapped by a maid.But he didn't want to see Mrs. Huang, so he had to leave embarrassingly.

Zhao Chengze was not drunk, so naturally Zhao Chenghuan was not drunk either.

These days, he lives in a side room in the third room.

Someone was already waiting in the room, lying lazily on the couch with the screen, staring at Zhao Chengze as he came in.

As soon as Zhao Chenghuan entered the door, he began to take off his boots: "It's really hot."

The man laughed: "It's the third master who has a big heart and a fat body, so he feels hot."

Zhao Chenghuan threw his boots aside: "It's done."

The man stared at him as he ate a big bowl of tea, and said with a leisurely smile, "Third Master is thinking, why do you still have to involve your elder brother when everything is done?"

Zhao Chenghuan didn't speak.

The man smirked: "I heard that the concubines brought back by Brother Ni are all as beautiful as flowers and jade."

Zhao Chenghuan put on a straight face: "I'm not interested in sister-in-laws."

Although he is lustful, he is still very principled.

Zhao Chenghuan said again: "When will the prince come back?"

The man said leisurely: "I'm in a hurry, the prince hasn't arrived at Mount Wutai yet. After all the matters in the capital are settled, the prince will naturally come back to reward you for your merits."

Zhao Chenghuan swallowed his saliva: "My lord has promised that no one else will move except for the lives of my fourth niece and Song Jingxing."

"Of course not. After all, the prince attaches great importance to the third master." The man straightened up and got out of bed, "I'm hungry, go find something to eat."

The man walked in swaggeringly, not at all afraid of being discovered.

Zhao Chenghuan stared at the door, suddenly let out a soft bah, and said inaudibly: "I'll kill you when I get up."

Alas, there are still a few days before the censor who impeached Song Jingxing began to act.How to spend this long night... He took off his sandals and walked back to cover the room.

His favorite Aunt Miao was gone, and he didn't miss him at all.

Instead, she believed that Aunt Miao's death was worthwhile.After all, it is a matter of supreme honor to be chosen by the prince as a carrier of sacrificial offerings.At this time, Aunt Miao will definitely cry with joy.Her death, in exchange for his boundless future, he will bury her in the Zhao family ancestor's grave in the future.

It was obviously a very quiet night, and Zhao Jinyi was supposed to be sleeping soundly, but Zhao Jinyi woke up suddenly.

Everyone in the room has fallen asleep, only the big lamp is dimly lit.

Zhao Jinyi looked at the hourglass, it was already the fourth watch.

She is thirsty and wants to drink water.Meiran was next to the bed, where she always kept a full teapot and empty teacups.Zhao Jinyi didn't want to make Mei Ran angry. The two little maids were frightened and exhausted after following her these days.

She got up, poured the water herself, watched the dim night outside the window through the thin curtain, and drank the water.

It doesn't matter that Song Jingxing is in the small courtyard, but someone gives him water to drink...

Zhao Jinyi was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a long and thin shadow appearing on the window screen!

Swallowing down a mouthful of water, she almost didn't choke her to cough.Zhao Jinyi still held back abruptly.Could it be that she was wrong?They couldn't help it, or did they decide to make a move at home?
Taking a closer look, there is indeed a long and thin shadow on the window screen. At this moment, the shadow seems to raise its hand, dipping its saliva in order to pierce the window screen.

Zhao Jinyi remained calm, put the teacup away, and quietly got out of bed.

Stepping on the thick carpet with bare white feet, Zhao Jinyi bowed, touched the hanger, and pulled out the dagger that had been hidden in his sleeve for several days.

The dagger was unsheathed, and the shadow gently poked at the window screen.

Zhao Jinyi stared at the shadow, bit his lip, stood up abruptly, and with all his strength, stabbed the dagger in the shadow's head fiercely!

After all, she is not tall, her strength is weak, and she lacks actual combat experience, but when she stabbed out with the saber, she missed it and made a lot of noise.

It was Mei Ran's exclamation: "Girl!"

Crow Qing shouted outside: "Where did the thief come from!"

The footsteps outside were chaotic, and the two women shouted: "He actually climbed over the wall and got out!"

Zhao Jinyi pushed open the window and looked far away, only having time to see the blurred figure of the man when he slid down the wall.

She stood up straight and said coldly, "Please come over to Manager Hu."
