Early the next morning, Jiang Xuening heard that there was a fight in the Duke's Mansion last night.

The servants of the aristocratic family are everywhere, and they go out to do shopping by themselves, and the news spreads all over the capital, and then reaches the ears of the masters.

Not to mention going directly to the palace early in the morning!

Xiao Dingfei is really a ruthless person, he offended Xiao Shu with one sentence.

Which lady in the family can tolerate such wild words from him?

In a fit of rage, they didn't agree with each other, and even called someone, and the two of them started fighting. I didn't plan to really do anything to Xiao Dingfei, but this rascal would not take any losses, and he didn't think it was wrong at all after he uttered wild words. The servants wanted to go up and hold him down, but he kicked one. During the pulling, it is inevitable that there will be some small injuries on the flesh.

This is good, Xiao Dingfei quit.

At night, he ran to the courtyard wall and sat howling, accusing the Xiao family of not being able to tolerate him and wanting to murder him for money. After howling, he slipped away, and lived in the most luxurious brothel in Beijing that night, sleeping in the warm and fragrant nephrite for a night, and even hung up the room bill saying that he would set up the Duke's mansion on his own. Come on.

Xiao Shi has to pay for whoring a prostitute!

It was not yet dawn, and Xiao Yuan, who managed to get his Qi and blood to sleep until early in the morning, was awakened by someone within an hour. The public came to the mansion to ask for the account.

Xiao Yuan didn't catch his breath, but when he got angry, he fell to the ground!

The palace was full of crying and screaming.

This side hastily went to invite the doctor to come to see it, but the other side was directly summoned by the palace, and wanted to announce that the Xiao family was waiting for an audience—

It turned out that Xiao Dingfei came out of the brothel and went straight to the palace early in the morning.

It turned out to be the villain who filed the complaint first! He handed over the sign and went to the palace to sue the emperor that they couldn't tolerate him, saying that Xiao Shu was a mere young lady who dared to instigate the servants in the mansion to beat him.

In front of the emperor, the clothes were untied.

Good guy, there are indeed some bruises, obviously new injuries last night!

Although Shen Lang also knew that the current Dingfei Prince is no longer the former Dingfei Prince, he has probably become a bastard, but he just went back for a day, and it made such a mess, which really made him feel embarrassed as an emperor.

Regardless of what he thinks in secret, Xiao Dingfei is still his savior on the surface.

All the people in the world are watching.

At that time, he was furious and immediately asked people to go to Xuan Xiao's palace to listen to the training.

Xiao Yuan's health was weak when he was old, and after he passed out, he was finally rescued, but his body was weak and he couldn't stand up. The emperor wanted to summon him again, so he had no choice but to have someone carry him into the palace, so that he could be in front of the emperor It was a miserable sale, thinking that he was favored in the past, and the Xiao family is the queen mother's mother's family, so maybe he really did something to the Xiao family, and most of them just pretended to be.

But who would have thought that Shen Lang would not buy it!

Above the main hall, they reprimanded them harshly, asking them if they could not tolerate Xiao Dingfei, if they really could not tolerate it, then they would not let Xiao Shirong, and immediately handed over his position as the Duke of Ding to Xiao Dingfei, and the Xiao family simply moved out of the capital It's better to split into two branches than to make trouble all day long and have no system.

Xiao Shi was shocked up and down.

The emperor's attitude was really beyond their expectations, no one reacted, and their legs were so frightened that their legs went limp.

How dare you talk about holding Xiao Dingfei accountable?

Xiao Shu didn't think she was unreasonable, and claimed that it was Xiao Dingfei who offended her by her rude words.

But if you want to ask her what exactly scolded her, she can't say it.

The low face of the daughter's family is just one of them;

Shen Jie, the king of Linzi, is about to choose his concubine, which is the second one.

Although she has never done anything outrageous, if Xiao Dingfei's obscene words are spread, even if she is innocent, it will be spread badly, and her reputation will be ruined easily, so she absolutely dare not tell anyone.

For a while, I was really a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, and couldn't tell the pain.

Before leaving, the emperor gave Xiao Dingfei a team of personal guards with a cold face to protect his safety, and ordered Xiao Yuan to punish those who dared to attack Xiao Dingfei in the name of "offending the above". Not lightly.

Poor those servants, they listened to Xiao Shu's orders and moved their hands.

When the masters came back from the palace, they still had to be severely punished. Xiao Dingfei identified them one by one. Anyone who pulled him even once last night was pulled out and beaten with fifty sticks in the yard. Bloody and bloody, she will definitely not be able to get out of bed if she does not raise her for a few months.

To be loyal to the master, but the master can't protect himself, and even push them out as scapegoats. How can people expect to encounter such a thing?

Not to mention those who were beaten.

The other servants who worked in Dingguo's mansion looked on coldly, and they inevitably felt a little bit chilled, and they easily recognized the current situation of the Xiao family after being encountered: any aristocratic family, prosperity and wealth, are bullshit! The prince Dingfei who just came back is the future master of the Duke's Mansion, and the emperor personally covers him! Anyone who doesn't have eyes to fight against Xiao Dingfei will be courting death!

Originally, Jiang Boyou heard that Jiang Xuening went to see Xiao Dingfei yesterday, and he was quite critical, thinking that Jiang Xuening should not be mixed with such a disciple, which would damage his own reputation and the Jiang family's reputation.

But Jiang Xuening said: "Father, don't forget, I met this person in Tongzhou."

Jiang Boyou didn't understand at first.

Jiang Xuening smiled again and said: "It's fine if you follow his wishes for such a devil king, but he's still on the border of the capital. My daughter can see clearly what kind of fool he is, and it's definitely not something our house can afford to provoke. If you don’t see him, you’ll annoy him, and tell us about the fact that your daughter was robbed by the Heavenly Rebels all the way to Tongzhou. I’m afraid it will really spoil the big thing? Isn’t there another one in our mansion who wants to choose a princess.”

Jiang Boyou was speechless.

The next day, after hearing about what happened in Dingguo's mansion, he let out a long sigh, and finally stopped mentioning Jiang Xuening's relationship with Xiao Dingfei, and only told her to be more careful and not to go too far.

Jiang Xuening thought in her heart: Xiao Dingfei, who is so slippery and relentless, was beaten until he went to the palace crying and complained, and his body was covered with bruises? God knows if the girl in the building left it last night, or if she was really beaten!

It's just that this person is covered by her, so there's no need to expose him.

Seeing this master who is full of bad things start to toss Xiao Shi, she is too happy to be happy, wishing she could take a plate of melon seeds to the Duke's mansion to watch a play, and forget all the troubles in the days from the next year to the Lantern Festival It's clean, and I feel very relieved.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, You Fangyin also sent a letter from the middle of Shu, saying that everything was fine when she first arrived in Shu. Except that some local dialects are hard to understand, the villagers are also very kind; Zhuo Tongjing is doing very well, Ren's saltworks reopened, and many long-term workers have been recruited; With a single tendon, Zhuo Tsutsui was absorbed in tossing and not caring about other things, so she helped take care of some of the worldly matters.

It looked like everything was going well.

It's just that Jiang Xuening frowned after reading the letter, and only looked up at the cold wind blowing weather outside: the weather is dry in winter, and it's time to be careful of fire. For all new things and new things, there are always some setbacks when they are first born, and few things go smoothly and simply. I hope Fangyin still remembers her warning, look at Ren Weizhi, and tell him not to be too aggressive.

Ever since the accident happened in Hou Yongyi's mansion, Jiang Xuening sold most of the silver shares of Ren's Saltworks, leaving only 2,000 shares in his hand. Most of the silver stocks in the salt farm are probably in the hands of Lu Xian, and a small part is in the hands of You Yue, and the rest are their own, and there are some retail investors who buy and buy casually.

After the Lantern Festival, they have to enter the palace again to study with them.

She thought about it, and asked Tang'er Lian'er to order someone to prepare the car, so she took a rare trip to the Shuxiang Inn to see the situation.

Along the way, it was unavoidable to hear about Xiao Dingfei's great achievements over the past few days—

His demeanor is domineering and domineering, since everyone in the mansion knows the weight of what he says, how many people dare not listen to him? So BMW Xiangche, beautiful jade and beauties, whatever is good, they all go to their own houses.

Originally, it was a Dingguo mansion, and the luxury was luxury. After all, the long-standing clan was embellished with a bit of elegance.

But Xiao Ding is not like this.

All the broken wood and pillars were painted and covered with a layer of gold, the carpet was covered with bright red, the screen was made of peony, and even the footsteps of the sleeping room were replaced with red gold.

From then on, he never mentioned that he was the prince when he went out.

He laughed at everyone he met and said: Don't believe me, in fact, the Xiao clan, no matter the old or the young, are all grandsons who wash their feet in front of the young master!

Since the silver shares of Ren's Salt Works were listed in the inn, the Shuxiang Inn has become a frequent place for businessmen, and because Liulichang is nearby, scholars and scholars who are going to Beijing for the exam often come and go, so the inn is very crowded. Scholars passing by are naturally happy to settle in it.

Scholars are more interested in discussing politics than businessmen.

There have been too many things happening in the capital recently, when Jiang Xuening came in from the outside and was led upstairs to the private room by Xiaoer, she heard a few tables talking below.

"I don't think this prince has everything to eat, drink, **** and gamble. It really doesn't look like a good thing. The poor Xiao family has been tossed like this. It shows that God has eyes, and there will be worse ones to deal with the arrogance and domineering in the past."

"That's a mistake."

"Yeah, how can it be so simple on the surface? I don't even think about it, how was the Xiao family favored in the past? The Yongyi Hou's mansion has collapsed, and they are the mother's family of the Empress Dowager. It stands to reason that the Holy One has to protect them. But This time it's good, not only didn't protect it, but also slapped the face. I see, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, I'm afraid it's going to be unlucky for Xiao Shi. The Holy Majesty is just using this son to beat them."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Even Jiang Xuening, who was about to step up the steps, couldn't help but stop, and looked in the direction of this person in surprise.

It was a Confucian scholar in long gown.

Judging by the appearance, there is no doubt that he is a scholar. He was born with a pretty good appearance, but the two long eyebrows flew up in a somewhat uninhibited and unrestrained manner. Others at the table were drinking tea, but he was drinking. I don't know if he drank too much. , is actually clean-sighted, a little arrogant, and no one pays attention to it.

The people next to him were startled, they couldn't help but looked left and right, and lowered their voice to persuade him: "Brother Qi Fan, you can drink recklessly, but dare not talk recklessly, you are drunk!"

The Confucian scholar pushed him away: "Weng is very sober!"

With a smile on his face, he drank another sip of wine, raised his hand in a gesture of pointing the country and provoking the words, and said with emotion: "Look at you, look at the court! What a bunch of waste! He Xiao is doing everything he can to do it. After the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion was overthrown, there was no one at the frontier, and he couldn't refuse the Tatars. Now that the envoys are forced to come to the capital, they have to push out a daughter's family to get married, so as to keep the peace! Really! It's too strong, and it's so beautifully done! The Holy Majesty is really willing to part with his sister. According to Weng, whoever caused the trouble should be asked to fill it. Wouldn't it be better to simply push their Xiao's daughter out to get married? The status is valuable enough, and the appearance is good, so it is satisfactory to keep Tatar!"

It's getting more and more scary.

The person next to him really didn't dare to wait any longer, fearing that this man-made disaster would come out of his mouth, he quickly covered his mouth, saying "excuse me, excuse me" all the way, and hurriedly dragged him out.

There was a buzz of discussion in the inn.

A dark light flashed in Jiang Xuening's eyes, and his brows were slightly furrowed. After careful consideration, he suddenly felt that the name "Weng Qifan" was vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, so he smiled and asked the waiter next to him in a gentle voice: " Who was the one who spoke downstairs just now?"

Xiao Er let out an "oh", obviously knowing it.

While guiding Jiang Xuening courteously, he said with a smile: "Don't look like he is often drunk, but he is a master from Hubei. His name is Weng Ang, and everyone calls him 'Weng Qifan'. He is very talented."

Weng Ang?

Jiang Xuening's complexion suddenly became weird, and finally remembered where he heard this name—

The unlucky second place in the previous life?

He knew he was going to take the high school exam, but the day before the announcement of the results, he was drunk and got into an argument with others, and was beaten to death by a few street gangsters. As soon as the news spread, the entire capital was shocked, and everyone cited it as a strange talk.
