fake prince

Chapter 1277

On the tower, Xu Zhifu had a complicated look on his face. For the first time, he felt that even though there were all kinds of schemes, once he was not under his control, it was so difficult to plot against someone.

Or, this is not a coincidence, but the grandson is too difficult to deal with, guess what?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhifu became more and more uneasy, and turned to Pei Dengke: "My lord, what should we do now? Are we still following the plan?"

Originally, he planned to plot against his grandson, but he left suddenly. After leaving, it's not that he can't calculate anymore, but there are many variables.

What Xu Shangyi could think of, how could Pei Dengke not think of it?
He wondered if Taisun had noticed something, and when Xu Shangyi asked, he said slowly: "Isn't this exactly what we mean?"

What?Xu Shangyi was a little unresponsive.

Pei Dengke sneered: "Think about it, our purpose is not to take down the grandson and punish him. This is something only the emperor can do."

"Our purpose is just to let the world know that Taisun handles the case, is headstrong, ruthless, and cruel, which arouses the mutiny of the militia, and is unbearable for a king."

"The grandson doesn't move, so we have no choice but to accuse him of the crime. It's very reluctant. If he moves now, he's going to investigate the case again. Isn't that just right?"

"We not only have to continue, but we have to push the plan forward."

Speaking of this, Pei Dengke couldn't help sighing again, and the old man's face couldn't help showing a trace of anxiety: "Actually, Taisun responded very well, and he failed to get what he wanted several times."

"I think, the emperor is in Beijing, so he has to urge him."

Pei Dengke's words sounded very reasonable, Xu Shangyi fell silent, and after thinking about it carefully, indeed, although Taisun drove away suddenly, he was caught off guard, but it was a good thing for him and others if he moved!
Do more and make more mistakes, do not do good!
If Taisun doesn't do anything, he really won't catch the opportunity.

Once done, there will be opportunities to make articles about many things.

Xu Shangyi nodded and pondered for a long time: "I think it should be launched at Fang Xi and Yu Lu's place, and it can't be delayed any longer."

Nantong County Merchants

This is a courtyard with three main rooms and several side rooms. There is a well in the middle, a big tree with luxuriant branches, some flowers and plants are planted under the window of the main room, and a bamboo frame is still climbing. There are about six or seven small green gourds hanging on the green vines, which sway slightly in the wind, which is really cute.

The furnishings inside and outside the house all show that the economic level of this family is average, not rich, but not poor either. It belongs to a well-off family that is above food and clothing.

Everywhere is tidy, clean and full of warm atmosphere.

A young woman with a silver hairpin in her hair was carrying water from the well with her back to the door of the main room.

Hearing the sound coming from the house, she stopped, listened carefully, and found that there was no movement behind, and poured the water she brought out into the water tank in the shade of the tree.

Seeing that the water in the water jar was full and clear, she closed the wooden lid, washed her hands, and boiled water on the stove so that she could make tea immediately after her husband woke up.

After everything was ready, she returned to the porch of the outhouse and sat down, continuing to weave.

Although the family is much richer than ordinary peasant households, but her husband is a scholar, and he will go up for the examination in the future, so she has to plan carefully for every penny she spends.

Weaving is something she does every day, and she is already familiar with it. The sun shines in from the window, and there is a faint smile on her delicate face, as if she doesn't feel that it is too tiring.

As soon as the creaking sound sounded, it didn't stop for a long time.

Shang Xiucai, who was lying on the bed in the inner room, had already woken up. In the past, he heard the sound of weaving that would make him a little impatient, but now it sounded like a piece played by a famous master. He lay quietly and listened for a long time. Eyes closed, he sighed lightly.

Shang Xiucai turned over and sat up, wiped away the tears, put on her boots and went out with a coat.

When his wife was weaving at a critical moment, he didn't bother, just sat on a chair, rested his chin, and watched quietly.

Those eyes that seemed to have substance actually looked at the young woman weaving a little shyly.

Although the two are husband and wife, they had a sweet time in the first few months. The husband reads and socializes every day, so he doesn't spend much time with her. After she has a child, what the two of them can say every day is So fix a few words.

It had been a long time since her husband looked at her with such warm eyes, and Mrs. Shang couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment.

She didn't notice that Shang Xiucai was preoccupied.

Mrs. Shang asked her husband: "Are you thirsty and hungry? There is hot water on the stove. After I finish weaving, I will make you a pot of tea."

Thinking of my husband's main concern in the past, besides reading and socializing, it was the children.

While keeping busy with her hands, she continued to say: "Xiao Bao has been called by his parents, and I'm afraid he won't be back until tomorrow."

The yard of their house was actually not bought, but rented for a long time.

Because this place is relatively close to the county school where Shang Xiucai studied, and the merchant's hometown is in a town outside the city. The parents mentioned by Mrs. Shang are her in-laws.

Although the merchant has three sons, Shang Xiucai is the youngest, but their little treasure is fair and smart, and the old couple likes it the most, so every now and then, Shang Xiucai's parents will go to the city to send them some vegetables grown in the countryside Guess, pick up the child and live there for a day or two.

Shang Xiucai listened in a daze, he often heard these words in the past, but not like now, just listening to them, he didn't feel bored.

His wife's gentle gaze was like pool water under the moonlight, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Mrs. Shang talked for a while, seeing that her husband was still sitting there looking at her without saying a word, she couldn't help but hesitate a bit, and asked: "But what difficulties did you encounter in studying? Or do you have an appointment with someone?"

Yes, my husband used to look like this when he encountered difficulties in his studies.

She persuaded: "Study is important, and making friends is also important. If you have an appointment with someone, you don't have to stay with me at home."

"Then I'm leaving, you..." Finally, Shang Xiucai spoke with a dry voice.

Lady Shang turned her back to him, unable to see his expression at the moment, and urged: "Go if you need something, I'm at home."

Shang Xiucai clenched his fists and then loosened them. After several times, he finally made up his mind, stood up, and said dryly, "Then I'm leaving."

As he said that, he hurriedly walked out until he was about to reach the gate of the courtyard when he was out of the house, and he couldn't help hesitating again.

Behind him are the shadows of the whirling trees and the small gourds swaying gently in the breeze. The sound of creaking and creaking in the house is still coming. You don’t have to look back to imagine your wife is constantly weaving.

The silver hairpin on her head was bought for her by him when they first got married, and it was engraved with a pair of mandarin ducks cuddling together.

At that moment, the old love and the picture of the family of three together suddenly slapped towards him like a tide.

Shang Xiucai's face was ferocious, and he was struggling, as if there was another person in his body wrestling with him.

Do you want to go back?
