The domestic guard is a little sweet

Chapter 21

The Minister of the Ministry of War's face changed greatly when he heard it, and he bowed directly to plead guilty: "My lord, forgive me, it was my fault for not restraining the dog. He is still young and ignorant, and his temper is also impulsive. He must have been provoked by others, so he went to the lord There's trouble here."

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite, just get up." Zhao Jin lowered his head and sipped his tea lightly, with a calm face, and looked at the other party with a half-smile: "I heard from the young master that your family and my daughter have long had a verbal engagement. , after this scientific examination, will the two sides make a Geng Tie?"

Mr. Fu's face was blue and red, and there was a moment of embarrassment and guilt, but after all, he had a long history of shame in the officialdom, and it was as thick as a city wall. He cupped his hands and bowed to Zhao Jin with a sincere voice.

"This minister is absolutely unaware of the matter of the lord, and when I was young, I met the little girl of the Wu family once, but I have been adhering to my duty for so many years, and the child is also devoted to the imperial examination."

"Heh!" Zhao Jin saw that Fu Shilang was respectful and apprehensive towards him, but in fact he was just fooling him because of his young age.

Crack!

Putting the tea bowl in his hand on the table, Zhao Jin's voice was still light: "My lord met that woman several times in private, your two families walked around in an ordinary way, and you made a verbal engagement. More than a few people know about this, Fu My lord wants me to tell the emperor and the queen mother that you will not be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Hearing this, Fu Shilang's face tensed instantly, and he was a little panicked. He clenched his fists, glanced at Zhao Jin secretly, rolled his eyes, and then cupped his hands again and said, "My lord, the impulsiveness of the dog is because he is young and ignorant. Very satisfied. The prince is about to be crowned and can enter the court. I have been in the court for many years, and I know a lot about the affairs, so I will help you with all my strength."

A dark color flashed across Zhao Jin's eyes. If this old fox was the ambitious prince of the original owner, he might have gotten a foreign marriage like the Ministry of War. This is just a commercial marriage, and naturally there is nothing to object to, but Fu Shilang did not expect , Now the body of this sentence has changed its core.

"The king is weak and has no intention of getting married. I will tell the emperor and the queen mother about this matter. I also hope that your Fu family will take care of your own affairs. Don't let the little girl of the Wu family really hang herself in front of your house in the future. It’s all in the capital, so it’s good to have a reputation that hinders your two families. As for the young master, he injured my people today and trampled on my family’s land. The farmers in the family have worked hard all spring, relying on that little ration to survive Well, Mr. Fu will not be stingy with this little money to compensate them, will he?"

The one who can be the Minister of the Ministry of War is also a smart person. He has already seen Zhao Jin's displeasure. After all, the other party is the younger brother of the current emperor. Although he has no real power in his hands, he is the younger brother of the emperor. He has been favored by the Queen Mother Dong since childhood , he couldn't ignore it.

Master Fu scolded his son in his heart, not enough for success, more than failure, after thinking about it for a moment, he folded his hands and replied, "The prince is reckless and rude. He trampled on the farmland and injured the guards in your house. He must pay for it. Here is 3000 taels of silver, which is considered as compensation for trampling on the farmland. Recently, I got an ancient sword, which is extremely sharp. As the saying goes, a sword given to a hero should be given to your guards."

That's all, but that sword is a treasure, which really made Master Fu feel distressed, but in order to appease Zhao Jin's anger, he gritted his teeth and took it out.

Zhao Jin nodded in satisfaction, the other party was an official of the imperial court, but Mr. Fu actually went to the house to make a fuss, and it could be inferred that the child was ignorant and reckless, Zhao Jin couldn't do anything with the other party, so he simply knocked his mouth fat .

He nodded and winked to Chief Manager Liu next to him, and then said with a smile: "I am sorry for the expense of your lord, this king will thank you for your generosity on behalf of the farmers on the farm. Your son is in the manor I suffered some bruises in the collision, so I will ask Director Liu to escort the two of you back home with the best medicine for sores."

This remark sounded grand, as if the silver and the sword were all voluntarily given out by the Minister of War.

And at this moment, Zhao Jin was also smiling, with a warm spring breeze, as if the cold and cold person just now was not him, and he really changed his face extremely fast, only the corners of Master Fu's mouth twitched.

Carrying the five flowers tied up, the son galloped all the way in the carriage, only regretting that his parents' legs were born short and they couldn't run fast enough.

Today, when Mr. Fu came to make trouble, it was true that horses trampled on some of the newly planted fertile land, so Zhao Jin sent someone to send five taels of silver, and two batches of fine cotton cloth to the other party's home as compensation.

As for the remaining thousand taels of silver, he planned early on to use these private schools. It is useless to ask some good gentlemen to teach these children to read. Don't let them run wild in the fields and waste a good time.

Every time I think about it here, suddenly it rains pouringly outside.

Zhao Jin was outside the villa at the moment, happened to be caught in the drenching, and quickly returned to the villa surrounded by servants and maids.

Although I rushed back quickly, it was raining after all, and my hair was wet and my clothes were soaked.

Zhao Jin's physique was not good, and the cold rain made him shiver and sneezed heavily.

"I can't do this, quickly get a change of clothes, boil the bath water, and then tell the kitchen to cook, and a big pot of thick ginger soup will come."

The faces of the ladies in the palace changed drastically, and they quickly had hot water boiled, and Zhao Jin's hair was temporarily dried with fine cotton cloth and gold thread, and he was asked to change his clothes.

Zhao Jin sniffed, feeling a little dizzy: "Bye my hand, I don't need to work hard for you if you have nothing to do. Ah Choo!"

After a big sneeze, Zhao Jin felt a chill all over his body, and his head was a little dizzy. Hongfei quickly served a bowl of ginger soup, her face full of worry.

"Your body is weak. This is a ginger soup to dispel the cold. It contains some sleeping herbs. You can drink a bowl warmly and sleep. If you catch the wind and cold, you will suffer."

Ah Choo!Ah Choo!

While speaking, Zhao Jin sneezed heavily again, and quickly drank the warm ginger soup in his hand, and the spicy taste rushed straight to his throat.

He took a few sips of water to clear the bitterness in his mouth.

After a period of turmoil, he took a hot bath and changed his clothes again. The incense in the room also smelled of sleeping. Zhao Jin felt a little headache and dizzy after being drenched in the rain, his body was even more uncomfortable, and his eyelids were also a little heavy.

However, he still tried his best to prop up his eyelids and leaned on the bed, his face was pale, his thin lips were even less bloody, and his voice was full of exhaustion and sleepiness: "Hong Fei asked someone to take a look at his wounds, give him some medicine, Let him get up, and clean him up when the master wakes up."

The little maid serving beside her paused her hands when she heard the words, nodded her head and left.

The little maid named Huang Ying, came out of the palace gate, come on, the prince's order is naturally to do errands, but Huang Ying is not often by the prince's side, so she doesn't know much about his situation, so she asked in a low voice: "Sister Hongfei, Who is the prince talking about?"

Hong Fei squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her face was calm, she patted Huang Ying's little hand kindly, and comforted her: "It's nothing! You can go to work, I will explain myself." After listening to the order, Huang Ying naturally responded: "Thank you, sister Hongfei, you are the most effective at the prince's side, but knowing his character, I will entrust this matter to sister Hongfei."

"nature."

Hong Fei looked at the back of Huang Ying leaving, her eyes were cold, she turned and went back to her room without saying a word.

However, under the heavy rain in the Wangfu Villa, a little maid slipped into the water and unfortunately drowned.
