The emperor is embarrassed

Regarding the rumors and gossips in the city, Hou Zhongyi is not without rules.

Feng Mingfan had some eyebrows, and hurried back to the mansion.

Hou Zhongyi was struggling with family affairs, and he was not very happy, and when he saw Feng Mingfan, he also had a bad face.After Feng Mingfan paid his respects, he said, "Father, if you want me to tell you, why don't you go to the Marquis of Yongning for a visit, and just talk about everything."

Who would like to go to the old man's house to eat at the top of the table?Hou Zhongyi was noncommittal about Feng Mingfan's idea, but instead asked, "Do you know how the rumors came from outside?"

Feng Mingfan took a peek at Hou Zhongyi, hesitating extremely.

"Speak up when you have something to say, what does it look like hesitating." Hou Zhongyi scolded.

"I asked the people on the street to check, but they didn't check too clearly, so I didn't dare to confirm it for a while." Feng Mingfan's words flickered, and Zhongyi Hou was furious, "Just say what I ask you? Where did these nonsense come from? !"

Feng Mingfan didn't dare to hide it immediately, "Father, don't be angry when you hear this, I've asked someone to inquire carefully, some of it came from our house, and some of it was spread by Wei Guogong's bribes."

Hou Zhongyi's figure flickered, and his tall body almost fell to the ground.

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

Let alone nobles.

All nobles are shameless.

What's more, the emperor handed over this matter to the imperial capital for investigation. Two foreign knives like Feng Mingfan can find out the source, let alone the imperial capital, which is like a local snake.

Zhongyi Hou was almost dizzy, but fortunately Feng Mingfan quickly helped his father, Zhongyi Hou did not make a fool of himself.

Zhongyi Hou didn't want his son to see his embarrassment, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, you go down first, don't talk about these things with others."

"Yes." Feng Mingfan replied, but he didn't leave directly. Instead, he poured a cup of warm tea and put it in Hou Zhongyi's hand, and put all the information he had found in Hou Zhongyi's hand. This party saluted and retreated. Down.

Feng Mingfan didn't spend much time in the Zhongyihou's residence, because of his background, not to mention Mrs. Fang looked down on him, even the slightly respectable slaves of the Zhongyihou's residence, with respectful faces, didn't look down on him. inside.

Therefore, Feng Mingfan had already bought a private house outside.

Marquis Zhongyi knew about this a long time ago.However, Feng Mingfan's temperament was just like this, and he refused to change no matter how much he beat and scolded him.A little frivolous by nature, he likes to make friends with all kinds of religions and streams.Occasionally, there is a lot of help with Hou Zhongyi.Therefore, after a long time, Zhongyi Hou will let him go.

When Feng Mingfan returned to his private house, he saw a visitor, and he was a regular visitor.

Fu Jipei, the third son of the Fu family of the Huguang family.

Fu Jipei is a few years older than Feng Mingfan, and the two of them have a good friendship.Fu Jipei taught Feng Mingfan a lot during the few years he was out and about.Now when he saw Fu Jipei, Feng Mingfan had a natural smile on his face, "Brother Fu, why are you here?"

"Come to the Imperial Capital to study. I heard that your family has come to the Imperial Capital. Come to see you along the way." Fu Jipei got up and held Feng Mingfan, looked him up and down, and praised, "I haven't seen you for two years, my virtuous brother is getting more and more handsome .”

Feng Mingfan laughed, "Third Brother is still making fun of me."

As soon as Feng Mingfan left, Marquis Zhongyi went to Wei's courtyard.

Just passing all the way, when he reached the gate of Wei's Courtyard, Hou Zhongyi suddenly stopped, turned back to the study, packed some materials that Feng Mingfan had investigated, and then wrote a letter to Wei Guogong, ordering his confidant servant to send it Went to Wei Guogong's mansion.

As expected by Marquis Zhongyi, at noon that afternoon, a nanny came to Duke Wei's mansion, saying that Duke Wei missed his sister and wanted to take Mrs. Wei back to the mansion for a few days.Hou Zhongyi naturally agreed.

Originally, Wei Guogong didn't take the matter of Zhongyihou's mansion into consideration.

In his opinion, if the title is involved, there will never be the second result with the Marquis of Yongning.

However, it is really embarrassing that the news about the inner quarters of the Hou Zhongyi's mansion has spread to the streets.Wei Guogong has a serious temper, and he didn't gloat like others, but he sympathized with Hou Zhongyi somewhat, and even persuaded Hou Zhongyi tactfully.

Unexpectedly, such a presumptuous cleverness appeared in his family.

Princess Jingmin heard the news, got up gracefully, and went to the ancestral hall to persuade Wei Guogong, thinking that it was almost over.However, Wei Guogong was furious. He was quite strict with his eldest son Wei Qiao on weekdays. To Wei Di, in fact, he always felt a little guilty in his heart, but his tolerance was much more lenient.

This time, she was ruthless, Eldest Princess Jingmin was in a leisurely mood, admiring the flowers and looking at the water, she was not walking fast.Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry if her own son was not on the board.When Eldest Princess Jingmin passed by, the first round was over, Wei Qiao was tied to a stool, and Hong was seen behind him.

Princess Jingmin frowned and persuaded, "What is the son-in-law doing? What's wrong with the children, you just teach them well and beat and kill like this. Think about it too, children are going to get married no matter what age they are. At least give them some face."

Wei Guogong was very angry, and said angrily, "Face? He did such a shameless thing, what face does he want!"

"Okay, the son-in-law calms down. It's not worth taking such a big deal." Eldest Princess Jingmin glanced at the pale-faced Wei Shi who was standing quietly, and asked casually, "Why is my sister back?" Entering the ancestral hall to observe the punishment, it seems that this matter must have something to do with the Wei family.

Eldest Princess Jingmin thought for a while, but she didn't understand the reason, so she could only say, "The son-in-law's fury of thunder frightened my sister. Now it's fine, let's just forget about it."

Wei Guogong didn't give Princess Jingmin face for the first time, he frowned and said, "Princess, go back and rest first, this place is very dirty, I still have something to tell them."

Princess Jingmin sighed again and again, "Think about Di'er's biological mother, how can you still have the heart to treat him like this..." After speaking, Princess Jingmin turned and left.Anyway, since she came here, she did what she wanted, and for the rest, she had to obey fate and see Wei Di's own luck.

As soon as Eldest Princess Jingmin left, Wei Guogong's eyes coldly caught Wei's weak face.

Wei Shi had never seen such an expression from his first brother, and he was too frightened, trembling and afraid to speak, leaving two lines of tears.

Wei Guogong said coldly, "At the beginning, I didn't want you to marry the Marquis of Zhongyi. Although the Hou's mansion is beautiful, after all, you are a concubine, and the child is also a concubine after birth, and he is born to be inferior." After saying this, the Wei family didn't care much. However, it was Wei Di who was tied to the stool, his body tightened, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

"You insist on marrying in the past, so you can't blame anyone now." Wei Guogong said indifferently, "The loyal son of the Marquis of Zhongyi is here, and the Marquis of Zhongyi personally asked him to be the eldest son. The one who will inherit the title in the future is naturally Feng Mingli. This matter, Forget about any thoughts you have!"

"No distinction between concubine and concubine is the root of family chaos." Wei Guogong didn't know who he was speaking to, "Don't talk about others, it was the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne, although he was the first son, he was the youngest son. For the three concubines above, the King of Zhennan still wants to make his son a son, and he can't abolish the concubine and establish the concubine."

"It stands to reason that you are a member of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion after you married. I don't care about you. It's just that you shouldn't have borrowed Di'er's hand to say those things outside, making people misunderstand." Wei Guogong Shen Said loudly, "I'll tell you again, you go to the Marquis of Yongning to plead guilty with Mrs. Wei, and confess your guilt. I will not pursue this matter."

Wei shi cried, "Those words are all true. It's just that Dier loves my aunt and no one loves me. If my brother beats him like this, you might as well beat me."

"Whether it's true or not, it's just that Wei Di shouldn't say it out of his mouth." Wei Guogong said, "Within three days, if you are still so obsessed, don't blame me for not being a brother and sister, and I will chase you away."

Wei Shi's face was pale, and if he could think of a way to use Wei Di's hand to drag Wei Guogong's mansion into the water, Wei Shi only had a weak face.She knows exactly what will happen to the daughter of the clan.When the first brother uttered such unfeeling words, Wei's heart felt cold, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground directly.

At the beginning, she had such a big dream to marry into the Zhongyihou's mansion as the second wife, but now she smacked her lips and couldn't tell what it was like.

The old Marquis Yongning returned to the mansion.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, but it is really more comfortable than at home, especially when eating with Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei.Where is the food here?

The old Yongning Hou is old, how can he stand this.Especially in the heart of the old Marquis Yongning, although the grandson is close, the daughter is naturally closer.Back then, her daughter took the family treasures to save Ruan Hongfei's life, but now this kid...

Back home, the old Marquis Yongning was not very happy.The old man suddenly thought of what Ming Zhan said about Feng Mingli's desire to reconcile his parents.

Children and grandchildren are debts.

In the old Yongninghou's view, Feng Mingli is not muddy and unable to support the wall, on the contrary, Feng Mingli is gentle and courteous, and he is not a troublemaker, such a stable temperament is particularly pitiful.Especially now that Feng Mingli's status is here, with a little support, the title of Marquis of Loyalty is already in his pocket.

Who would have thought that this silly boy's sudden madness, if not for His Majesty's concern for relatives, would be really hard to deal with now.

The old Marquis of Yongning ordered someone to find Feng Mingli, intending to persuade Feng Mingli earnestly, but he didn't know that Feng Mingli was not at home.Seeing that it was getting dark outside, the old Marquis Yongning summoned the housekeeper to inquire, and learned that Feng Mingli had gone to Wanjuan Palace to revise books, and he hadn't come back yet, so let it be.

In fact, it is not too late for Feng Mingli to go to Yamen, although there are many things in Wanjuan Palace, but his mother is not in a good mood these days, Feng Mingli will go back to Yongning Hou Mansion earlier to have dinner with his mother.But as soon as he left the Wanjuan Palace today, he met an acquaintance outside.

However, this person is not just as simple as an acquaintance,

Feng Mingfan lifted the curtain from the carriage, revealed a smiling face, looked at Feng Mingli, and called out with a smile in his eyes, "Brother."

Because of Wei's relationship, although Feng Mingli is the eldest son, he has never been liked by the Marquis of Zhongyi, and he is not very familiar with the younger brothers below, Feng Mingfan is an exception.Feng Mingfan was brought back to the mansion by the Marquis of Zhongyi when he was ten years old, because Feng Mingfan's biological mother was Wei's dowry girl, so after Feng Mingfan returned to the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi, he spent most of his time growing up in Wei's courtyard.Feng Mingli is gentle and elegant, and he has a really good relationship with Feng Mingfan brothers.

"Ming Fan, why are you here?" Feng Mingli walked over and asked with a smile.

Feng Mingfan just smiled without answering, and stretched out a very beautiful hand that was well maintained.Feng Mingli stepped forward to hold it, Feng Mingfan exerted a little force, pulled Feng Mingli into the car, and said with a smile, "I heard that you are editing books in Wanjuan Palace, brother, let me have a look."

Feng Mingfan has always been good at enjoying himself, so his carriage is extremely comfortable.Several layers of soft cotton mattresses are laid on the couch. If the road is flat, you can sleep in a random nest.

Feng Mingli sat upright and straight, and asked with a smile, "Where do you live now?"

"I bought a house in Ruyi Hutong." Feng Mingfan was not yet married, and he always went about freely, and the Marquis of Zhongyi was willing to spoil him, so he allowed him to be carefree outside.As long as there are no major errands, Hou Zhongyi just let him go.

"Brother, it's time to rest tomorrow. I've ordered the cook to prepare food and drinks. Brother, will you rest at my place today? I have a lot to say to brother."

"Let Xiao Lin go and tell his mother so that she won't worry about it." Feng Ming stood up.

Although Feng Mingfan is not as good as Feng Mingli in terms of learning ability.However, he has always been very considerate in his work, and said with a smile, "I went to the Yongning Hou Mansion to see my mother first, and I have already told her about it."

Feng Mingli had no opinion on this side, and began to ask Feng Mingfan what he was doing in the imperial capital, and told him not to be playful all the time. Finally, Feng Mingli said, "Since you came to the imperial capital, it has been a long time since you have been tested on your homework. null."

When Feng Mingfan heard this, he immediately had a headache, and said with a smile, "Let's rest first, let's talk about it after drinking, brother, you have a lot of things to do every day, aren't you tired?"

Hearing the prevarication in Feng Mingfan's words, Feng Mingli was a little disappointed, "Xiaofan, don't you think your elder brother is noisy?"

"How can I?" Feng Mingfan hurriedly said, "I've been busy with foreign affairs these days, and I really miss my elder brother very much."

Feng Mingli sighed, worried about this younger brother.Although he had many brothers, Feng Mingfan was the only one who had been with him day and night, and Feng Mingfan was well-behaved and lovable, so Feng Mingli cared about Feng Mingfan very much.After thinking for a while, Feng Mingli said, "Xiaofan, it's not right for you to be outside like this all the time without anyone to take care of you. I'm living at my grandfather's house now, why don't you go live with me at my grandfather's house. If there's a chance, I'll ask my uncle to help you." You're looking for a decent job."

People in the DPRK are good at being officials.

Although Feng Mingli is a few years older than Wei Yingjia, but Wei Yingjia has been on the post for many years, and now he is holding a heavy soldier. Although he looks stern, he is familiar with the world.Neither of them are difficult people to get along with, so they have a good impression of each other when they meet for the first time.

Feng Mingli felt that although his younger brother's literary and martial arts were not top-notch, he was still able to do it well.There is no need to be fat and high-ranking, as long as there is a serious job, do it slowly first, and then it will not be too late to plan other things.

Feng Mingli's plan was quite good, and his sincerity made Feng Mingfan sigh.It's just that the Marquis of Yongning would have no face to kill Feng Mingfan.Furthermore, regarding the matter between him and Wei Ziyao, it's good that the Marquis of Yongning doesn't hate him, so why would he arrange an errand for him.

The two brothers chatted and laughed, and then arrived at Feng Mingfan's house.

A small house with three entrances, not too big, with dark lacquered wooden doors, looks ordinary from the outside.

However, opening the curtain and stepping into the house is extraordinarily unique.Yishuier's old mahogany furniture, antiques and famous paintings are all available.Even the girl serving tea is graceful and charming.

Feng Ming took a breath of the tea fragrance, it was a good tea.

"Father asked me to persuade elder brother to return home." Feng Mingfan cut straight to the point and said the serious thing first.

Feng Mingli was not surprised, Feng Mingfan had always been favored by the Marquis of Zhongyi.Moreover, he has a good relationship with Feng Mingfan, Hou Zhongyi will ask Feng Mingfan to do this, and he has chosen the right person.

"Brother, you won't be going back?" Feng Mingfan saw that Feng Mingli remained calm, so he asked a question tentatively.

Feng Mingli drank two sips of tea, let out a sigh of relief, with a hint of tiredness on his brows, and said after a long while, "I'm really tired, Ming Fan."

"Brother, now many people outside are talking about you and your mother, what kind of books are you still studying?" Feng Mingfan was really worried for Feng Mingli, he was about to be replaced, with the backing of the Yongning Hou Mansion, There is also a bird's scruples.

Seeing Feng Mingfan's expression, Feng Mingli smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Let's just say it, I can guess a thing or two about who said it."

"What's the use of guessing? Bodhisattvas like you can't scare people." The reason why Feng Mingfan and Feng Mingli have a good friendship is not just because of the brotherhood when they were young. After all, Feng Mingli is ten years old. Yu Yu, when they first met, Feng Mingli was already married and had children, and Feng Mingfan was still the boss of Little Luobo.Back then, Feng Mingfan was clever and cute when he was young, and he was very good at watching his face. After returning to Zhongyihou's mansion, he gained a firm foothold within a few days.

However, after all, Feng Mingfan grew up with the actor Mao Si, so he didn't know many big characters at that time.He was born to escape, and he didn't like to learn those things. The little knowledge he now has in his stomach was taught by Feng Mingfan when he called Feng Mingfan to his son when he was enlightening his son.Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that there is some kind of father-son relationship than brotherhood.

From Feng Mingfan's point of view, Feng Mingli is of course a good person.However, if someone thinks that Feng Mingli is weak and can be bullied, they are wrong.Like this time Feng Mingli broke with Zhongyihou, Feng Mingfan applauded secretly.

Feng Mingfan put his mouth closer and whispered to Feng Ming, "Brother, why don't you take this opportunity to win the title?" In Feng Mingfan's view, this is an excellent opportunity.With the backing of the Marquis of Yongning, as long as it operates properly, it is not impossible for Feng Ming, as the eldest son, to immediately ascend to the throne.

"Shut up!" Feng Ming slammed his palm on the table and made a muffled sound, which really startled Feng Mingfan.

People who are not easy to worry are especially palpitating when they get angry at the first moment, Feng Mingfan hastily argued, "I, I'm doing this for you, big brother."

Feng Mingli glared at Feng Mingfan coldly, the harmony just now disappeared, replaced by the disappointed anger in his pitch-black pupils, Feng Mingli said angrily, "If you dare to say another word, I will tear your mouth apart." He was too lazy to stay for a moment, got up and said, "I'm back."

"Big Brother, Big Brother." Feng Mingfan quickly grabbed Feng Mingli's hand, and smiled apologetically, "Take it as my younger brother's mistake, don't be as knowledgeable as me. Big brother, I have already told my mother, we brothers eat wine, watch you Wouldn't mother be suspicious and worried by going back angrily?"

Seeing that Feng Mingli's expression softened slightly, Feng Mingfan said persistently, "If elder brother is still angry, younger brother will kowtow to elder brother to admit his mistake." He was about to kneel down.

Feng Mingli had no choice but to stretch out his hand to hold Feng Mingfan's arm. Feng Mingfan smiled, "I knew that big brother wouldn't blame me. It's about this time. If big brother doesn't come easily, I'll give my younger brother some face. Let's not worry about it." Big brother, try my wine and food here, and see if it suits big brother's taste."

Sighing, Feng Ming stood up and said, "Afan, you don't have to."

Feng Mingfan smiled, "I am willing."

After testing Feng Mingli for a while, Feng Mingfan put aside the matter of the Marquis of Zhongyi and took the initiative to talk to Feng Mingli about his affairs in the imperial capital.

Feng Mingli frowned from time to time. Unlike Feng Mingfan, who is full of flowers and wine, and good at enjoying himself, Feng Mingli's life has always been rigorous and regular.Feng Mingli thought about it all night, and the next day he forced Feng Mingfan back to the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Feng Mingli has always been strict with the rules, and it is the first time Feng Mingfan has come here, so Feng Mingli first brought Feng Mingfan to pay respects to the old Marquis Yongning when he returned home.Knowing Feng Mingfan's background, the old Marquis Yongning nodded with a smile, "Well, let's live at home. Children's homes are always inappropriate outside. Next to Mingli's courtyard is the Shaoyaoyuan, where you live. "

"Grandpa, Ming Fan has to study these days, why don't you ask him to live with me, and you don't have to clean up the yard alone." Seeing in Feng Mingli, this younger brother is suspected of going astray, so he has to take advantage of Feng Ming Before Fan went too far, he straightened him up.

Old Yongninghou took another special look at Feng Mingfan, this kid doesn't look like someone who can read.Although he had this concern in mind, the old Marquis of Yongning naturally wouldn't ask too many questions, and agreed to Feng Mingli's words, "Well, that's fine. Two brothers, let's live together."

Feng Mingli sat for a while, then got up and said, "Grandpa, you rest first, we're going to my little uncle's courtyard first."

Old Yongninghou glanced at Feng Mingfan with a smile in his eyes.Feng Mingfan thought that he had been out for a long time, and he was a bit cheeky, but the old Yongninghou seemed to see through his thoughts with this glance.Feng Mingfan touched his nose in embarrassment, and followed his brother away.

Wei Yingjia would not make things difficult for Feng Mingfan, but for the fact that this person had the audacity to live in his house, Wei Yingjia treated Feng Mingfan quite differently, without losing her demeanor and identity. I gave Feng Mingfan a meeting gift.

Feng Mingfan saluted and thanked him.

From then on, Feng Mingfan lived in the Yongning Hou Mansion.
