Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 187 Sima
In order to maintain the relationship with Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian, he did not know how much money he had thrown in.

However, all this was in vain.

After Dong Cheng's victory, he indeed began to plan against his Xue family.

Then Dong Cheng's son-in-law said that "tea farmers made great contributions during the plague" and therefore should no longer be exploited by tea merchants, so he created the bullshit "Dong Gong Scale".

He also sent Yamen state soldiers to guard the tea gardens to "hold justice" for the tea farmers.

This directly caused them, the tea merchants, to no longer exploit the tea farmers, and the Xue family suffered "heavy losses"!
"Dong Cheng is now very powerful and is not easy to mess with. Although his uncle Xue Baoqing holds the position of Minister of Household Affairs and his aunt is also the wife of the King of Shaozhou, the Dong family has the support of King Poyang and Yang Tingyu, so I am afraid that the one in the palace will also be partial. The Dong family..."

"What should we do?" Xue Baochang looked unwilling.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson has already thought of a way."

Xue Baochang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Yuan'er, what can I do?"

Xue Yuan took two steps slowly, his eyes were extremely deep: "The Dong family is so powerful that we are not easy to provoke in the open, so we can only retreat and do the next best thing and come from the darkness!"

Xue Yuan's face changed for the first time and became extremely gloomy!

"Yuan'er, what do you mean?" Xue Baochang seemed to have some realization.

The corners of Xue Yuan's mouth raised strangely, causing a gloomy smile to appear on his gloomy face...

……

The next day.

sunny!

It's a good day to go shopping and have fun.

In the morning, on the way Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen went to the back hall of the west courtyard to have breakfast, Dong Shuzhen began to ask Zhu Xiuyuan to "fulfill the promise" and take her out to play.

The so-called "promises" are a bunch of promises Zhu Xiuyuan made in order to coax Dong Shuzhen into taking medicine when she was bedridden due to illness.

Taking her out for shopping is the most basic thing.

The biggest promise was to take her to play on Mount Lu in the south of Jiangzhou City, including hunting, roasting rabbit meat, picking wild fruits, etc...

On the way to have breakfast, Dong Shuzhen was talking about it, saying that the weather was nice today and that she must take her out shopping.

After arriving at the back hall of the West Courtyard, Dong Shuzhen immediately calmed down.

Because Dong Cheng was there, she didn't dare to act rashly.

While having breakfast, Zhu Xiuyuan learned that Dong Shuyu was going to Jingdezhen, Fuliang County, to recruit a few porcelain masters and start studying how to make purple clay pots.

Zhu Xiuyuan only knew that purple sand clay could be used to make purple clay teapots, but he didn't know how to do it.

So he couldn't help much in this matter, so he could only let Dong Shuyu and the others explore and try.

After breakfast, on the way back to the east courtyard from the back hall of the west courtyard, Dong Shuzhen came again, "hanging" on Zhu Xiuyuan's body like a baby, and asked Zhu Xiuyuan to take her out for shopping.

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. Okay, I promise, I will take you out shopping today!" Zhu Xiuyuan finally agreed.

In addition to being unable to stand Dong Shuzhen's coquettish Dafa, he actually felt sorry for Dong Shuzhen.

She is so lively and active, so playful, but she was strictly ordered by Dong Cheng to stay at home and was not allowed to step out of the house...

Zhu Xiuyuan understood her yearning for the colorful world outside.

"I knew that my husband would agree to it, he is the best!" Dong Shuzhen pressed her entire face against Zhu Xiuyuan's side to show intimacy.

"But my lady, my husband is Jiangzhou Sima now, and I'm under the eyes of my father-in-law all day long. It's not like before. As a husband... maybe it's not easy to get out!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Shuzhen's face suddenly fell down, her mouth flattened, her hands tightly wrapped around Zhu Xiuyuan's waist, and she stood still.

Zhu Xiuyuan's body was weak, so he couldn't compete with Dong Shuzhen, who knew kung fu. Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't move under Dong Shuzhen's hug. "I don't care, I don't care, I just want to go out and play..."

"Madam, let go, there are so many people here!" Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless and quickly turned around to look around.

There were originally a few servants and maids on the corridor leading to the east courtyard, but when they saw the second lady and uncle making such a noise, they had already disappeared.

It is also possible to hide in the dark and watch the show secretly.

"I don't care, I don't care, I want to go out to play, I want to go out to play..."

"Okay, madam, I just said that it might be difficult to get out, but I didn't say that I can't get out. Please let go quickly, so as not to be laughed at by the servants..."

After Zhu Xiuyuan coaxed and coaxed him, Dong Shuzhen finally let go.

However, she did not completely let go of Zhu Xiuyuan, but held one of his arms tightly.

"Madam, my husband will go to the Yamen for duty as usual. After half a quarter of an hour, I will find a reason to return and pick you up and go to the street together..."

"Okay, I'm going to get ready." Dong Shuzhen seemed to have a new goal, holding Zhu Xiuyuan's arm and ran quickly to the east courtyard, impatient.

After returning to the east courtyard, Zhu Xiuyuan went back to his room to change his clothes and put on his official robes.

Dong Shuzhen rushed into her own room, dragging Xia Wu with her, not knowing what she was doing.

When Zhu Xiuyuan changed into his official robe and went out to the small living room, Dong Shuzhen's door was still tightly closed.

"Madam, I'm going to the Yamen first. You can wait at home peacefully." Zhu Xiuyuan shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I know, husband, husband, you must come back to pick us up!" Dong Shuzhen also shouted in response from the room.

"Of course I won't forget..."

Zhu Xiuyuan walked towards the gate of Dong's Mansion. After meeting his father-in-law, Yan Dashan and others, he took a carriage and rushed towards the Yamen.

Today, Zhu Xiuyuan is the Sima of Jiangzhou, the third highest official in Jiangzhou.

In fact, the position of Sima in the state government is different from other official positions, such as governor and long history.

The post of Sima is more often a sinecure, generally used to place demoted officials and the like.

The governor, chief historian, etc. are the local officials who hold real power.

The governor is the governor of a state, in charge of the affairs of a state, and has great power in his hands.

Chang Shi is the first assistant to the governor, equivalent to the second-in-command, and has a great say.

Relatively speaking, Sima's position is somewhat redundant.

However, as the second assistant to the governor, Sima could also be responsible for some specific affairs.

He also has a great say in power, even as much as Chang Shi...

These are uncertain and vary from state to state.

Specific to Jiangzhou, the new Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan was not an official who was demoted, but was promoted due to merit, and his nature was different.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan's voice is not small.

In terms of prestige, even the newly appointed Jiang Governor Li Linzhou is far behind.

In other words, if it weren't for Zhu Xiuyuan's young age, the position of Jiang Governor would have belonged to Zhu Xiuyuan.

At the beginning, Yang Tingyu considered Zhu Xiuyuan's age and made him the Sima of Jiangzhou, and gave up the position of chief historian to Li Linzhou.
