Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 220

But after a long time, he realized that apart from the master making his own decisions about matters in the court, he had to ask his wife about all the big and small matters in the mansion, even if the master wanted to go out to have a drink with his colleagues.As long as the wife is not happy at all, no matter who it is, the master will take care of it.

After thinking about this, he naturally knew who to flatter.The master is a first-class hero, but the wife is the one who can control the master, and he will still hold his wife's thigh tightly in the future.

Lin Baozhu always felt tired in recent days, perhaps due to the move a few days ago, coupled with Zhang Ji's business problems in the capital, he couldn't recover his spirit.So when she has nothing to do, she will take a nap before noon.

In fact, it's not that no one came to visit during the day, not to mention Zhang Mandun's colleagues, but the wives and ladies from all walks of life, it was enough for her to have a headache.Fortunately, the man directly explained to the concierge that his wife was in a slight condition and no one was seen.The men of her own family don't care about using the back room to win someone over, so why is she anxious?
What's more, now she can see clearly that the higher the reputation of her man, the worse it is.If any party is involved, I'm afraid it will be a real bad thing.

Simply, she just took good care of her in the mansion, had tea, read scriptures and listened to fun in her free time, and if Wen Shuyan had business matters there, she would take the maids around her out there.In the beginning, not to mention the maids of Xiangming Chunxi, even she herself was a little worried about the inconvenience of going out casually. After all, she was a merchant and met the man as a member of the Duke's Mansion.But later I found out that my man was not that stingy at all. To be exact, he had already covered up all the gossip for himself.

It was also at that time that she heard from Zhu Neng and the six sons that her own man actually said such a thing in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty on the Golden Luan Hall.Not only did she protect her identity as a merchant woman, but it also directly showed that he did not dislike her and was always proud of her.

This is also the reason why, after her identity and Zhang Ji's relationship with her were spread in the capital, not many people ridiculed her.Not only because of Zhang Mandun, who is in full swing, but also because the emperor didn't say anything, and even acquiesced in her status as a merchant woman. How could others dare to criticize her?
Lin Baozhu, who was sleeping drowsily, suddenly felt that the bed beside her was sunken, and felt the familiar aura, she didn't even open her eyelids, she turned over and rolled into the generous arms of her own man.

"Daughter-in-law, you haven't been very energetic these days, why don't I ask a doctor to show you?" Zhang Mandun looked at his daughter-in-law's drowsy appearance, and was really worried.It's nothing more than a day or two, but now it's been a while, and my daughter-in-law has always been like this, she is sleepy when she says she is tired, and sometimes she can't even eat much.

Lin Baozhu stared in a daze, rubbed her warm and flushed cheeks against his own man's chest, and grunted, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, nothing else matters. We just arrived in the capital, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me?" , there is no need to stir up wind and rain."

It's not like she's just seeing a doctor when she's sleepy, drinking some unbearably bitter soup.What's more, she is spreading the word that she is delicate and frail.Somehow, since Zhang Mandun's heroic deeds were vividly passed down by storytellers, there has been a trend of people in the capital competing to compare who can tell the two or three things about the love between Duke Hu and his wife.

Although it is harmless, but sometimes when discussing business with Wen Shuyan or the owner of the tea shop in Beijing, I would feel very embarrassed when I heard some stories about her and her own man from time to time.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's heavy eyelids, Zhang Mandun felt anxious and uneasy, thinking that this matter could not be left to her whim, so Minger asked His Royal Highness Prince Rui to find a reliable doctor to come Helping my daughter-in-law to see a doctor.

Having made up his mind, he hugged his wife distressedly and fell asleep.One night without words, Chun Meng Wuhen, until the next day when he looked at the wet underwear, he smiled helplessly.Seeing that his daughter-in-law was still sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her, and simply settled her down lightly, then rolled over and got off the bed.

Carrying his own clothes, shoes and socks, he tiptoed out of the back room, and only then did someone bring hot water to the bathroom to clean up.Of course, he didn't need many people to wait on him at this time, he just let people put down his things quietly and wash up by himself.

Zhang Mantun is a military general, so he will not sit in a sedan chair in a polite manner when he is going to court.In addition, Huang Li also has some fists and feet, and is bold and cautious. After riding a horse with the master a few times, he can follow the horse smoothly by himself.

The two rode out of the house on horseback, followed by two rows of guards. Although Zhang Mandun consciously didn't use it, the rules could not be broken.The group of people was speechless all the way, only galloping on the horse, but they arrived in front of the palace gate in a quarter of an hour.A few people came from the west, so naturally they had to walk around the palace wall to the Donghua Gate where the courtiers were waiting.

It's still early now, but it's Yin time, so the palace gate is naturally tightly closed, even if there are guards above the palace gate, they don't care about the crowds of courtiers below.

Most of the civil servants sheltered from the cold in their sedan chairs, and some of them brought Mrs. Tang with them, covering their hands and talking to each other outside.But the Wuguan gathered together to talk about the military, and some rudely talked about eating flower wine, but it was very straightforward.

Xu San was originally by Zhang Mandun's side. Later, because of his meritorious service and rewarding the three armies, he was promoted to a fourth-rank military officer, so he was able to talk behind everyone at this moment.Seeing Zhang Mandun coming, he naturally greeted him early, clasping his fists in a respectful salute.

Saying it is respectful, in fact, it is somewhat disdainful.It's not that he doesn't admire Zhang Mantun's ability, it's just that the rumors circulating in the capital now make him look down on this Duke who is supposed to be indomitable.

An imposing man was held in the palm of a little woman, but that woman had no good background.To be honest, he really couldn't understand how the Duke could tolerate such a jealous and short-sighted woman.

It doesn't matter that he is only a fourth-rank military officer, but because he became a Beijing official, he was looked up to by others. Two days ago, his mother was showing him his bride.However, he considered himself to be kind, thinking that his original wife would give birth to a son for him, so he allowed her to be his second wife.Even so, he also felt that he was benevolent.Thinking that he was fighting desperately outside, but his wife only needed to take care of his mother and raise his son at home. Now he has earned the title of an official wife for nothing, and there are maids to serve him when he goes in and out. Enjoyment is tight, so even if she is a flat wife, she has no reason to disagree.

However, what I didn't expect was that, as the most admired prince of the country today, Zhang Mandun not only had no intention of remarrying a new wife, he didn't even have the idea of ​​taking a concubine.A few days ago, a colleague invited them to have a meal of flowers and wine. Zhang Mandun, a dignified prince, couldn't even bear the closeness of a beautiful woman, and even got up and left the table with a black face in an unreasonable manner.

Not to mention how embarrassing it is for a man to be manipulated by a woman in the palm of his hand, you must know that in the capital, a man who looks up and bows his head is a nobleman, if a peasant woman from the mountains is in charge of the house, I am afraid that people will laugh out loud.

But Xu San didn't care how much he slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face.After he said hello to the Duke, other officials rushed forward to greet him.

If it's a military officer, it's fine. Prime Minister Zuo, who is the head of civil servants, saw Zhang Mandun smiling, and even said a lot of scenes.Although it was a nonsensical greeting, it was enough to shock people. You must know that the prime minister has always disdained military officers to participate in politics.

Later, when His Highness Prince Rui saw the big guy's expression of seeing a ghost, and then saw Zhang Mantun's bewildered expression while Prime Minister Zuo stroked his beard and smiled quietly, he couldn't help feeling that Zhang Mantun was a good guy. Fortunately, married a good wife.If Prime Minister Zuo hadn't been amazed by Lin Baozhu's various measures in Taoshuwan, and then took the opportunity to apply them to the six departments, the efficiency of each department was greatly improved, and people made the best use of them to benefit the people. How could Prime Minister Zuo who has always been at odds with military generals Would you take the initiative to give Zhang Mandun a good face?
His Highness Prince Rui knew the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, but others didn't know, seeing that even Prime Minister Zuo had stepped forward to show his favor, how could they dare to despise this illiterate young Duke?Even if a person has no military power or real power, it doesn't prevent the big guys from coming forward to say hello again and again.

And the most eager one is Master Qinglin of Taichang Temple.Originally he was annoyed at Lin Baozhu's ignorant refusal to see his wife, but now that he took a closer look, he no longer dared to feel contemptuous in his heart.

A wife is more valuable than a husband, if Zhang Mandun has a personal relationship with the Prime Minister Zuo, how could he dare to play tricks so easily?That's all, let's think about it again, it really won't work, at most Lin Baozhu will be recognized as the aunt's name, and she will be regarded as an upright official lady of the Lin family in the future.

With an idea in his mind, he no longer cared about Zhang Mandun's cold face.Just as he was about to say a few more words, he saw the palace door opened wide, and then the ministers of civil and military stood up according to their ranks, and the cloak and cape on their bodies were also handed over to the young servants who were waiting on the side.

As the guards of the Imperial Army came out in a line, the eight eunuchs lined up to lead the way, and when they came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, everyone stopped and waited for the announcement.Waiting until the emperor's father-in-law Zhang came out of the palace gate and sang loudly that all the officials went to the court, then the court meeting began.

Amidst the solemnity and sternness, everyone lowered their heads neatly into the hall.After going through the cumbersome prostration etiquette, it is considered to start to discuss the major affairs of the country.

"Recently, I have received auspicious greetings from heaven. I thought you were boasting about how prosperous the country is now, how prosperous and peaceful, and how the people are well-clothed and fed." The emperor sat in the tall On the dragon chair, looking down at the people in the court, his face was pale and no anger could be seen. When an official stepped forward to agree, he sneered and said slowly, "Oh, the country is peaceful and the people are safe? The Holy One is wise? How dare you Said, if I hadn’t received the secret report, I’m afraid I would really think that the world is peaceful. You are trying to make me stunned to the end, boss and second, who are you who suppressed Mobei’s paper and refused to hand it over?”
