"The last time my grandson went back to Fengyang and passed through Chuzhou, he stayed at Mr. Zhang's house. My grandson was envious of the old man's life!"
After having lunch, a few people went to Fengxiang Hou Mansion to watch the excitement.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang's two major hobbies are drinking and concubinage!"
"The old man is more comfortable than we are!" The old man laughed and scolded, and then he stepped forward and looked at the crowds of people on the three floors inside and outside the Hou Mansion, "Is he going crazy! Taking concubines to create such a big battle?"
Just at this time, two men came out cheerfully and heard the old man's words as they passed by.
"Old man, you are wrong. The old Marquis is not taking a concubine, but a second wife!"
"ah!"
Suddenly, the old man and others were stunned.
By the way, that’s the wife of the royal family, not a concubine!
Not to mention that Zhang Long is Fengxiang Hou, his wife is also a royal family. Even for an ordinary family, renewing the marriage is a top priority.
"Hehe!" Cao Zhen smiled evilly on the side, "Old Zhang, don't be an eighteen-year-old and be his son's baby mother!"
"Old Marquis is handing out sweets!"
"The old Marquis is making a profit!"
In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, two servants in Tsing Yi scattered handfuls of copper coins and candy cubes all over the sky. Both adults and children in the crowd were eager to grab the candies, and they were full of blessings and auspicious words.
Viewed from a distance, the entire Hou Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
"What a joy!" The old man sighed again after seeing this posture, and then said with a smile, "You can survive!"
Zhang Long is an unusual person among the nobles in Huaixi. After defeating the old man and gaining a high position, he resigned and returned to his hometown. He didn't get involved in any troubles and lived his own life behind closed doors.
The less greedy he was for power and position, the more pleased he became. Not only did he receive rewards year after year, but he also gave the eighth princess Fuqing to Zhang Lin, Zhang Long's eldest son.
"Grandpa Huang, do you want to send someone to inform the old Marquis?" Zhu Yunxi said in a low voice.
The old man thought about it and said, "Forget it!" He said with a grin, "If he gets married, I will have to follow him when he comes, so save it!"
Little did they know that although they were standing far away, they were seen by an old man in the gatehouse.
The old man was missing half of his hand, and he looked at the group of people standing in the crowd in front of the mansion door with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.
"Old housekeeper, what are you looking at?" asked the servant next to him.
"It seems so?" the old man muttered, then turned around and ran away, "I'm going to find Mr. Hou!"
~~
"I'll rest here in Chuzhou for the night. I'll go to Dingyuan tomorrow morning and go straight to Fengyang!"
The old man walked briskly with his hands behind his back, "Although it is rare to come out once, state affairs still cannot be delayed!" After saying that, he turned to Zhu Yunxi and smiled, "It's okay to come out this time, there is nothing shabby for us to watch!"
"In the bright world, it's okay to do things occasionally, but if you see injustice every time you go out of the palace, that would be abnormal!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Don't say nice things for those officials, they are afraid of taking things seriously!" the old man said with a smile.
At this moment, Deng Ping walked over quickly and whispered, "Two gentlemen!"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Deng Ping said with a smile on his face, "Fengxiang Hou Zhang Long is catching up!"
~~
"How did you know we were coming?"
In the garden of Fengxiang Hou Mansion, the old man sat by the stove and asked with a smile.
"I don't know!" The old Marquis opened his mouth, and his words were a little leaky. "It was my steward who was watching from the gate, so I hurriedly chased him out. After just a few steps, I asked you to hide in the dark.
The guards stopped me!"
"Does your housekeeper know us?" the old man wondered.
Zhang Long smiled and said, "It's not that he knows you, but the emperor has lived in the Chen family before, so he recognizes the emperor!" After that, he smiled at Zhu Yunxi, who had been silent beside the old man, and said, "Long live the Lord is very good? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is very good?"
Is the queen very good?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You are fine too?" He said, looking at the other person, "I see that your body and bones have not changed much from before, you are still as strong as ever!"
"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Zhang Long said with a smile, "I can't drink wine now, and my meat is tasteless!" He said, sighing, "I guess it's almost too late!"
"You can pull it off, you still have the strength to renew your string!" The old man said with a smile, "How old is your little wife?"
Zhang Long smiled and stretched out four fingers, "She is exactly forty this year!"
"Why did you marry someone so old?" the old man said.
"She has served me for more than 20 years. I thought that I was about to die, so I wanted to give him a name before I died." Zhang Long smiled, "In this way, even if I let go.
, she will also be successful in the rest of her life."
The concubines of wealthy families are actually just objects. When the owner is alive, they are well-fed and pampered, but if the owner dies, the new owner will either keep them in captivity or give them some money to spend.
A woman with an old age and a yellowish face will have a miserable life in her later years.
But if this woman really gets the love of her master and is willing to renew her relationship and become the main wife, it means that she has really become the mistress of this family. In the future, whether she is alive or dead, there will be someone to take care of her and take care of her.
"You are still a passionate seed!" The old man smiled, "You are just like idiot Cao!"
"You also renewed your string?" Zhang Long asked.
Cao Zhentian grinned shamelessly, "We picked up a widow on the road!" He said with joy, "I didn't spend a penny, I picked it up!"
Li Jinglong, the only one standing in the flower hall, cursed in his heart, "Yes, you didn't spend a penny of your own money, that bag of gold belongs to me!"
"Since you are here this time, please stay here for a while, as a favor to me!" Zhang Long smiled at the old man, "I will take you to Zhuangzi outside the city to see the land in my house, but
The best place in Chuzhou!”
As he spoke, he sighed for a while and said with emotion, "Back then, I was a poor man who couldn't finish his last meal. Now he is covered in silks and satins and eats delicacies from the mountains and seas. All of these are given by you, your Majesty. If it weren't for you, your Majesty,
, I don’t know where I died a long time ago!”
"You earned it all by yourself!" The old man smiled, "Don't live and die one by one, live your life well. If you are short of anything, just tell the emperor. If he doesn't give it to you, you
Tell us!"
Suddenly, Zhang Long smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight, "I don't need anything and don't want anything!"
Then I thought about it again, "But I would like to ask your Majesty and Your Majesty to give me a favor."
"You tell me!" the old man said with a smile.
"I'll stay here for two days and drink a glass of wedding wine!"
"We'll drink even if you don't stay!" The old man laughed, "You're a poor fool!"
"I wonder if your Majesty still remembers it!" Zhang Long lowered his head and smiled, "You were the one who officiated my first wedding, when I married my first wife. On the day of entering the bridal chamber, you were the one who ordered the murderers not to obey me.
corner!"
The old man sighed, "Why don't you remember? It's almost fifty years ago!" He stood up and said, "Come on, take us for a walk to see if your doghouse is comfortable!"
Zhu Yunxi supported the old man in front, Zhang Long behind.
Guo Ying and Cao Zhen were half a step behind, with Li Jinglong on their left and right.
"You two?" Li Jinglong suddenly had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
"Get the money!" Cao Zhen said without any nonsense.
"What money?"
Guo Ying squinted, "It's a happy event, won't you follow the etiquette?"
"That's what you always said, but the gift given by this junior should not be given to the Zhang family...?"
Cao Zhen rolled his eyelids, "Just do it your own way? What about our two brothers?"
