"The fine stitching is not a special habit, but the thread after sewing is."
Jiang Wu pointed to the thread and said: "You and Chen Qi's clothes must have been mended by Liu. Liu's stitches are good and the sewing is very fine, but people's habits are also difficult to change. For example, Liu is used to sewing after sewing."
Leave the end of the thread as long as a fingernail."
Liao Zhao still wanted to argue, but Jiang Wu raised his hand and interrupted him: "If you still want to argue, you might as well go to your house and compare the clothes one by one to see if you and Chen Qi's clothes have this thread!
"
This time Liao Zhao was completely speechless. He looked gloomy, stared at the old clothes in Jiang Wu's hand, and said tiredly: "But I really didn't kill anyone."
Zhou Xianen waved his hand and said directly: "Take Liao Zhao back to Beizhen Fusi and set a day for interrogation!"
…
The New Year is coming soon, and according to the old custom in previous years, Fu Heng has to live in the Princess's Mansion until the Spring Festival.
There are some things worth mentioning here. Fu Heng’s mother is the eldest princess of the current dynasty, and his father is the Duke of Zhenguo. He himself has not married a wife, nor has he been ennobled. Logically, he should live in the Duke’s Mansion, but the eldest princess
She was extremely angry and had caused some scandals with the second and third bedrooms in the Duke's house in the early years. She didn't want to get involved with them, but this back and forth inevitably hurt the couple's relationship.
The eldest princess was the emperor's youngest sister, so she naturally had a dignity that others did not have, so she simply moved to the eldest princess's mansion. The Duke Zhenguo had no choice but to move into the eldest princess's mansion as well.
Fu Heng went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen. After returning in triumph, he directly served as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Therefore, he has been living in the backyard of Fusi in Beizhen. He has not lived in the Princess's Mansion for a long time. He will only go back during the new year.
The eldest princess's mansion is very grand, with pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water, all visible from one room.
In the Jianjia courtyard, Fu Heng handed the chinchilla fur cloak to his servant, stepped forward and said, "Mother."
In the hall, the eldest princess is wearing a lotus-colored satin short jacket and a green fan skirt. Although she is just lying lazily on a recliner, you can still see that she has a plump figure. Although she is about forty, her skin is still
It is full of moisture and only needs a slight modification to make people look like an unmarried girl.
The eldest princess just raised her eyes slightly and said in a neutral tone: "Are you still willing to come back?"
Facing his mother, Fu Heng's aura, as if everyone owed me five million, weakened slightly. He smiled and said: "Beizhen Fusi is busy with affairs. It's my son who is unfilial."
The eldest princess curled her lips, straightened up, and complained: "You and your father have the same virtues. Every year when I am detained, this becomes a charity home. The house is full of old, weak, women and children. Your father will not come back, and you will not come back."
, you’re just busy, your father isn’t coming back either, I’m afraid he’s looking for a sweetheart somewhere.”
I had to hear this kind of complaint almost every few months, and Fu Heng was not annoyed at all. He just said, "There has been an ice disaster in the north recently. I'm afraid my father is very busy."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about you." The eldest princess looked at him and said with a faint smile: "Recently there has been a lot of buzz in the capital that you have raised a little girl in Fusi, Beizhen.
"
Fu Heng frowned slightly and retorted: "They are just rumors."
"Really?" The eldest princess looked at his face carefully and saw that his expression was natural and not panicked. She was still a little disappointed in her heart. She thought that this son finally got the idea. Even if he did not marry a wife for the time being, he would be very willing to take a concubine.
Okay, but looking at him like this, it seems like he doesn't.
Fu Heng said: "That's a gangster. He follows me every day to handle cases."
The eldest princess asked curiously: "A charlatan? Rumors say that this girl has a beautiful appearance and is wearing extraordinary things. She goes in and out with you every day. Now you tell me that she is just a charlatan? Ziyuan, you are getting more and more ridiculous now.
Make up such a ridiculous reason."
Fu Heng said: "But she is indeed a widow. Although she is a woman, she is actually smart."
This sentence was so extraordinary that the eldest princess even came closer to see his expression, "I never thought that one day my son would actually praise a woman for her intelligence."
Fu Heng was speechless: "You make it sound like I'm stubborn."
"Isn't it?" she retorted, then smiled again and acted like a princess: "Although she is a widow, she is still a little girl. Let's bring her back to the house someday. I would like to meet her."
"No need...the case has not been solved yet." Fu Heng understood what his mother meant. He was now in his twenties, and other men would have been able to take concubines. Unfortunately, he didn't even have a concubine. The eldest princess
Every day he worried that he would not be able to have a grandson. Whenever there was any gossip about the girl around him, he would ask him carefully.
Little did he know that the tougher his attitude became, the more curious the eldest princess became. She knew Fu Heng's character very well. He was just a stubborn idiot. Even if he was really interested in a woman one day, he probably wouldn't tell her.
The mother and son were chatting about their daily life, when the housekeeper came to report that the daughter of the Du family had arrived with a New Year's gift.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, but there was no hint of happiness or anger in her tone, "It's still more than a month before the Spring Festival, I'm afraid I'm not here to give New Year's gifts."
The butler smiled and said: "I see that the daughter of the Du family is well-educated and wise, and she treats our eldest son the same way..."
When Du Yuerou was mentioned, the eldest princess also sighed. When she looked at Fu Heng again, she could not help but complain: "The Du family is the Minister of Rites after all. The daughter of the Du family is about the same age as you. What's wrong with that?"
Fu Heng replied: "If it's not bad, then it's good, right?"
He looked at the pale sky and said calmly: "The Minister of Rites has long wanted to have a good relationship with Prince Ping, so he recommended his legitimate daughter to marry Prince Ping. Unfortunately, Prince Ping directly recommended this girl to the emperor. If I agreed to marry her,
, that means competing with my uncle the emperor for a daughter."
The eldest princess had never known that such a thing existed and asked in surprise: "Are you telling the truth?"
Fu Heng closed his eyes: "It's absolutely true."
Du Yuerou also knew about this, so she told him tactfully before the winter banquet that if he wanted, she could even be a concubine.
Du Yuerou is only twenty-eight years old now. She has many reluctances even to marry Prince Ping, let alone marry the emperor. The emperor is now over sixty years old. Even if she becomes a concubine, she will not be able to shine on the family lintel.
Just spend your whole life buried in the palace.
I originally thought that the daughter of the Du family was deeply in love with her son, but she was rejected. It turned out that there was something going on in the middle. This was not a small love affair. If it was not done well, both families would be implicated.
But everyone is already at the door, can they really disappear?
Fu Heng was calm and composed: "Let her come in so that we can put an end to it."
