In the palace.

The queen put aside a few copies of Buddhist scriptures and said to the female Shi: "Please send them to the temple and burn them."

Ouyang Shanggong, who was beside him, glanced at him and found that these were copied by Yang Suyun. The queen liked Yang Suyun's calligraphy very much.

Ouyang was originally the queen's dowry maid. She grew up with the queen since she was a child and learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together. When she was young, she was as close as a sister. Later, the queen was the leader and married a hundred households. Less than three years after her marriage, her husband died in the battlefield, so rumors of a husband came out, and the queen asked Ouyang to come back and be the head of the Prince Yu Mansion. After the emperor ascended the throne, Empress Jiang took over the Feng Seal and named Ouyang the fourth-rank Shanggong, and was in charge of Shanggong Bureau.

The queen's original idea was that at most three years later, if the second prince insisted on not marrying and Yang Suyun had no plans to get married, she would let Yang Suyun follow Ouyang Shanggong to be a sect.

Therefore, Ouyang Shanggong Suli paid much attention to Yang Suyun. Now the Shanggong Bureau still has a position in Shanggong. Yang Suyun is known as a talented woman. After a few years of training, she will be the best candidate for this position.

Ouyang Shanggong observed his words and expressions, and saw that the queen looked calm, he was not displeased.

Ouyang Shanggong asked, "Will Miss Yang not come back now?"

The queen glanced at the several female historians standing beside her. The female historians left, and there were only two people in the study, the Queen and Ouyang Shanggong.

The queen sighed and said, "I heard that she is happy to Ayan."

Ouyang Shanggong was startled and did not dare to interfere. He just heard the queen continue saying: "I only have four sons in the palace, and she was involved in two at once. No matter whether this matter is true or false, she can no longer stay in the palace."

Ouyang Shanggong smiled bitterly: "This girl is a very thoughtful girl."

"You are just saying that she is very thoughtful now? Why didn't you tell me about it before?" the queen said angrily.

Ouyang Shanggong quickly knelt down: "I thought before that her future position was also related to books and documents. Most people who think heavily are careful, which is also good."

The queen sighed again and said with a smile: "Don't kneel down at any time, get up quickly. You are all wise people, and I am the only one who is confused. You just want to let her be the female official, but I still think that Ashan will stay in the capital for her. I am confused."

Ouyang Shanggong hurriedly said, "You are concerned about the Second Prince, so you have this thought. You are not confused. I see that you are not confused, but you are wiser than when you were young."

The queen glanced at her and said, "I don't know what Ashan would think of seeing the things in the brocade box?"

The Seventh Prince's Mansion.

The second prince was stunned and stared at the 200 taels of silver bills taken out of the brocade box.

Two hundred taels!

He had rubbed his eyes several times and even slept again, but the silver bill still had not changed, and it was still 200 taels.

There was nothing wrong with his eyes, and he was not dreaming. His loving mother really gave him only two hundred taels!

The second prince said to the servant: "Shi'er, do you think I'm the same as you, I've picked it up."

Shi'er was an orphan who fled. He was abducted by a villain and sold three times. Finally, he sold it to a straw troupe. Shi'er escaped and fainted from hunger on the road. He was rescued by the second prince and was taken by his side as a servant.

Because it was picked up, it was named Shier.

Shi'er didn't expect the second prince to ask this. He said with a bitter face: "Second Your Highness, can you be the same as the young one? Look at your eyebrows and eyes, look at your eyes and eyes, look at your nose, the third prince, and your mouth, the same as the prince. If you picked it up, that would be a coincidence."

The second prince sighed quietly, and he clamped the silver notes of 200 taels with his fingers: "If I hadn't picked it up, why did my mother give me only 200 taels?"

Shi'er imitated him and sighed quietly: "The little one has been sold three times, and the three times combined, it's less than thirty taels. The two hundred taels are enough to buy more than 200 Shi'er."

The second prince put away his sigh and glared at Shi'er: "Breaking a bright future."

Shi'er grabbed his head, he was not wrong, two hundred taels were already a lot.

The second prince stared at Shi'er's head, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and said, "Shi'er, are you feeling upset?"

Shi'er shook her head: "No."

"You have it, do you know why you are upset? Because you have thousands of worries. Come on, I will shave off the worries for you, and you will not be upset."

The next day, Shi'er appeared in front of everyone with a naked head.

People from the Seventh Prince's Mansion...

Today I shave Shi'er, will it be their turn tomorrow?

Seventh Prince, when will you come back? If you don’t come back, your prince’s mansion will become Shaolin Temple.

Xu Yang.

Xu Yang City is as prosperous as ever, but this time, Li Qiniang has no intention of going shopping, she has not even got off the boat, she has a stern face and stares at Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong felt guilty about his two sisters. Now that he saw that his younger sister was unhappy, Zhou Hong sighed: "Have you ever told you that your stern face is exactly the same as your mother. OK, my brother is afraid of you. I'll call out the person and you take a look at him from a distance."

Just after looking at it from a distance, Li Qiniang was naturally unwilling to accept it, but seeing Zhou Hong's appearance as if he was not afraid of being hot with a dead pig, this time he could only do this.

Zhou Hong took Li Qiniang into a teahouse and asked for a private room on the second floor. From the window of the private room, it was a small street not far from Baicai Hutong.

Zhou Hong left, Li Qiniang sat alone in the private room, looking outside with her eyes, fearing that someone who was not careful would slip away.

The tea in the cup is cold, and it is replaced with hot, and the hot turns into cold again.

Finally, the two appeared in Li Qiniang's vision. The man was Zhou Hong, the woman was wearing a curtain and a light blue trouser. Below was a moon-white thread-picking skirt. She was slim, but she was not weak. Zhou Hong walked beside her, smiling all over her face, and was talking about something.

Then the two of them walked to the mule cart not far away. Zhou Hong personally helped the woman get on the mule cart and watched the mule cart go away. Then he turned around with unsatisfactory desire, looked up at the window on the second floor, and slowly walked into the teahouse.

Li Qiniang was so angry that she said she had just taken a look from a distance, but she really only looked at it.

Zhou Hong walked into the elegant room and smiled again, carefully coaxing the girl: "I saw it, I'm satisfied. Tell my elder brother, what do I want, I will take you to buy it."

This tone was like a little brother who was going to take his sister to buy candied haws.

Li Qiniang was so angry that she was so angry that she said, "This doesn't count. She is wearing a veil. I didn't see her face, so I can't count it."

Zhou Hong looked embarrassed: "Little sister, you have to reason. We agreed in advance and took a look from a distance. You didn't say you wanted to take off the hat. You said right?"

Li Qiniang snorted coldly: "You are an expert in picking words, but this matter is not over. If you don't explain clearly what this lady has to do with you, I won't leave and just stay in Xuyang Mansion. I think this place is more prosperous than Pingcheng and is similar to that of the capital. Maybe there will be a good shop. I will open two semicolons here before returning to the capital."

Zhou Hong was startled when he heard this and quickly advised: "How can that happen? If you want to open a semicolon, you have to wait until you get married. Girl, you will get married in June. We can't afford to delay here. Brother, please, I'll leave tomorrow and return to Beijing, okay?"

Zhou Hong remembers that his little sister is an honest person, so why did he become tricky and willful after going to Pingcheng?

Well, it must be taught by Sister Huai, it must be.

Li Qiniang smiled and said, "If my brother doesn't explain this matter clearly, I really won't leave."

"Don't listen to Sister Huai, that girl will be annoying." Zhou Hong said.

Li Qiniang was unhappy: "Why is Sister Huai so angry? Also, she is my daughter, I just want to listen to her, can't it?"

"Okay, okay, okay, you all can do it, I can't afford to offend you."

Zhou Hong sat down on the chair and hugged his head. His family was full of women, two girls, one daughter, and one niece. One was more difficult than the other, and he couldn't afford to offend one.

Zhou Hong suddenly missed Zhou Xiaobai. It was better to be a kid. He scolded him whenever he wanted, and beat him whenever he wanted. He was not like the women of all sizes in the family, one by one, and he could only coax him.

"What do you want to know?" Zhou Hong said helplessly.

Li Qiniang held back her laughter. The trick she taught her by her baby daughter was really useful.

She deliberately raised her face and said, "I heard from Wanqian that she heard people say that her mother is a thin horse in Yangzhou. You are worried that she would raise her children wrongly, so shortly after Wanqian and Xiaobai were born, you carried them to Qingyunling. Is this true?"

"Bah! This is what Wang Zhaodi said. This stinky girl is just farting!" After saying that, Zhou Hong realized that the girl sitting opposite him was a girl, so he quickly slapped her and said, "I won't say anything swear, just pretend you didn't hear it. In short, there is no such thing. At first, I thought that Wang Zhaodi was a heroine and respected her as a hero. Unexpectedly, she was not kind-hearted and thought Wanqian was a child, so she would believe her nonsense. After I knew this, I bombed her out of Qingyunling. Later, she was unwilling to accept it and tied up Xiaobai, grandma, and was ruined by me."

Seeing that he opened the conversation, Li Qiniang remained silent and continued, "You only said that Wang Zhaodi was talking nonsense, but do you have any evidence? No matter whether Wan Qian's biological mother is a skinny horse in Yangzhou, it was all said by you and Wang Zhaodi's red mouth and white teeth. Who knows which one is true and which one is fake."

"What I said is true, girl, why don't you believe the big brother?" Zhou Hong's forehead bulged, and the scars on his face turned red, looking even more ferocious.

"Then how do you make me believe it? You said you are not a skinny horse in Yangzhou, who is her? Who is her surname? Where is the fairyland? Why don't you let her recognize her two children?" Li Qiniang was aggressive.

Zhou Hong pressed his forehead against the table. After a while, he raised his head, pointed to the scar on his face, and said, "The scar on my face was cut by her."

Li Qiniang was shocked and said, "Didn't you say that this scar was caused by someone's pursuit and injury?"

"I lied to you," Zhou Hong held his head with one hand and patted his neck with the other. "Before I went to Qingyunling, I was lying on the streets of Pingcheng. Unlike Jiao Junen, he was the young master of a rich family. I was different at that time. I was a beggar first, and there were a group of brothers behind me, and then I became a gangster."

Li Qiniang changed him a new cup of tea. Zhou Hong picked up the cup and drank it all in one breath, and continued, "We have made a name for fighting, so I wanted to rehabilitate our father. I was only in my teenage years old at that time, and I was not afraid of heaven or earth. I really thought that everything could be done by my own strength.

I told my brothers about this. It happened that year that the Fu Palace was going to enter the Princess' Mansion. The eunuchs from the Princess' Mansion in the capital were all given to the people from the clean room. The Fu Palace was far away, so he was to purify himself.

My two brothers hid it from me and went to clean themselves and became eunuchs. I knew it was too late in the future.

I'm sorry for them. At that moment, I wish I could die immediately. It was me who implicated them.

They said they could be my inner support, and they also said that King Fu is a well-known kind-hearted person. Maybe Prince Fu can uphold justice and rehabilitate our family.

They were only in their teens and were orphans. Later, they fought with me and collected protection fees together to fill their stomachs.

They thought I was my eldest brother and their savior, and were willing to go through fire and water for me...

I regretted it and regretted not to tell them about my life experience, that their lives were ruined by me.

I was drunk that night and fell on the side of the road. When I woke up, I was already sleeping in a brocade bed."

Zhou Hong said this and poured a cup of tea himself. This time he didn't drink it all in one breath. He looked at the tea soup in the cup and didn't speak for a long time.

There was silence in the private room, and Li Qiniang was calm and did not want to disturb Zhou Hong's emotions. She waited for Zhou Hong to come out of regret.

After a long time, Zhou Hong put down the cup in his hand and smiled at Li Qiniang, but the smile was very bitter: "My two brothers, one is dead, the other is back. Now he is on the boat. He is going to follow me to the capital to enjoy his life."

Li Qiniang didn't dare to ask how one of them died. She just nodded: "Well, you must take good care of him."

Zhou Hong smiled again, and he said, "I woke up that day and felt a split headache. I couldn't remember what happened. I found myself covered with a satin quilt, and the tent hanging on the bed was also made of silk. I thought I was sleeping... In short, I didn't think it was a serious place, so I opened the tent and got out of bed. Then I saw a woman sitting at the table, her head next to the table, and she was already asleep."

When Zhou Hong said this, his face turned red and he grunted for a while before he said something roughly.

It turned out that his head hurt at that time and the alcohol had not passed. When he saw a girl, he reached out to pull: "Why are you sleeping here? This is..."

He didn't know where he had encountered it, but the girl woke up suddenly, and she looked like she was crazy. She pulled out a knife from her body and slashed at him.
