After the court meeting, everyone knew His Royal Highness's latest oral order, and the courtiers who fully felt His Royal Highness' "benevolence" felt as if they had eaten a bad fruit.
Oh no, this is not the "kindness" of the prince, but the "painstaking efforts" of Xiaowen Shangshu.
But do they have another way? I can only respectfully thank you and take the money honestly.
As for using all kinds of excuses to ask the prince to take back his order, heh, it’s better not to do so, because it’s useless.
The crown prince is not the same as the emperor. He was born in the army and he is tough. He is not afraid of people's words. Even if the civil servants criticize him together, he can calmly command a group of generals to carry these people out.
The crown prince is shameless, what can they do as courtiers? Arms can't hold back thighs, is it possible to be a real remonstrance?
No, no, no, who wants to die when they are alive?
Especially when they are clearly wronged, the prince is willing to turn a blind eye and let them go, so let's quickly spend money to eliminate the disaster.
So everyone was very obedient, and bought the "Black File" with money.
This means that the treasury is short of money, try another time? If His Highness the Crown Prince is offended, then the end...the ransom money may have to be doubled again.
That **** Xiaowen Shangshu can do such a thing.
Singer, proper sycophant!
Who the **** said he wasn't flattering? Didn't you see that His Highness the Crown Prince was coaxed into obeying him?
How angry!
Before the family banquet in Marquis Wu'an's mansion began, Marquis Wu'an announced one thing, that is, the promotion of seniority. In fact, there are not many changes. Marquis Wu'an did not give up the title to his son, so he is still a Marquis, but Mrs. Hou has become an old lady. Wen Jiuxiao's generation has changed from a master to a master, and Yu Zhi's sisters-in-law have been promoted to wives. Wen Xizhou has not changed in this generation, he is still a young master, when he has a son, he will probably be able to rise up a generation.
Yu Zhi was surprised. Didn’t you say you told your mother-in-law? Why did you tell your father-in-law? She looked towards Wen Jiuxiao, Wen Jiuxiao shook her head invisibly, and glanced at the second brother opposite.
Yu Zhi understood, it was good that someone took care of this for Wen Jiuxiao.
She lowered her eyes and listened quietly to her parents-in-law. Obviously, her mother-in-law didn't know beforehand when the father-in-law mentioned this matter, and her face was a little worried. But she didn't object, but followed her father-in-law's words and knocked on several rooms without any trace.
Of course, the second room is the key care object, and the other rooms are incidental.
Yu Zhi has no objection to being promoted from young lady to wife. But when Wen Jiuxiao was promoted from master to master, she had a problem. Master... No one is fifty or sixty years old, do you have the nerve to call him master? She is only in his early thirties, a prime age for a man...Anyway, she sounds awkward, she always has the feeling of an old couple and a young wife, or the old man who is dying and marrying a 28-year-old girl.
"Father, should the third master be called Hou Ye?" Yu Zhi reminded.
The audience fell silent.
That's right, Wen Jiuxiao has earned himself a marquis long ago, but he is still called the third master in daily life! Did everyone forget this? No, it's just that deep in their hearts they don't want to admit that he is Lord Hou.
Both brothers, the gap is too big. It seems that if they don't admit it, they are still the same.
To put it bluntly, it is unable to face up to the strength of others. Pink eye!
Wen Jiuxiao's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Then father will call you the old master, and if I feel wronged, you can call me the young master."
Where did you feel wronged? Everyone has complicated eyes.
Only Yu Zhi thinks so. Although her man can't be called old, he can't be called young anymore. The little duke belongs to teenagers. A mature and stable man like Wen Jiuxiao is called the little duke. Are you wronged?
Oh, she doesn't like such a messy name at all.
Wen Jiuxiao saw that the second brother seemed upset, and said again: "I am Lord Hou, and Zhou Zhou is my eldest son. He is not young anymore, so he should invite you to be the crown prince. I will pay the price tomorrow."
The audience was silent again.
It is too common for a son in his teens to be in Beijing, but in the Marquis of Wu'an, especially when there is an elder uncle who is over forty years old, Wen Xizhou's status as a son is a bit subtle.
Everyone's mood is different, Yu Zhi is embarrassed, she remembers that Wen Jiuxiao is the Marquis of Pingbei, but she really forgot her son's status as the eldest son.
Wen Chengyao smiled, with a bit of malicious intentions, "Third brother, the elder brother is also a prince, so is it possible to distinguish between the old prince and the young prince? Isn't it a bit indecent?" While talking, he veiled towards Da Fang look away.
Even Huahua could hear the provocation in it, "Second uncle is so stupid, he doesn't know how to adapt. How can uncle be called old in front of grandfather? Can't uncle be the eldest son and my brother the youngest son? My elder brother I don't mind being wronged a little bit." Then the pretty brows frowned, as if thinking of something, "Ah, didn't dad suffer a lot of wronged?" She looked at her dad worriedly.
Wen Jiuxiao's eyes were slightly warm, and he reached out to touch his daughter's head.
But Mrs. Hou scolded: "There are no rules. When adults talk, how can children interrupt?" She didn't mean anything else, but felt that the old couple was too used to children, and the rules were too bad for a girl's family. , When you grow up, you can't marry a good family.
"Understood, grandma, Huahua knows that she made a mistake, and she will correct it next time." Huahua quickly admitted her mistake.
Huahua really shouldn't interrupt without authorization, so Yu Zhi didn't speak, thinking of going back to educate her, don't be so outspoken.
Wen Jiuxiao saw her daughter's lost appearance, and felt distressed, "Huahua is right, the second brother really doesn't know how to be flexible, it's a big taboo in this officialdom."
Wen Chengyao's expression changed, "Third brother, you..."
Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Marquis Wu'an, "Okay, what's there to argue about, it's just a title, if one person doesn't say a few words, can you still eat this meal?"
The Marquis of Wu'an has spoken like this, who dare not listen?
Even this dinner tasted like nothing, and the atmosphere was dull. Mrs. Hou often lashed her eyes at the second room, disturbing the house spirits, but she had a good life, but she had to pick something, relying on Master Hou's presence, right?
Yu Zhi complained all night about his promotion, and the next morning Marquis Wu An sent someone to spread the word, and the title of seniority changed again.
Marquis Wu An and his wife are Lord Hou and his wife, Wen Jiuxiao is still the third master, Yu Zhi is the third wife, and Wen Xizhou’s generation is the young master... As for Wen Jiuxiao’s Lord Marquis and Wen Xizhou’s eldest son, each has their own opinions. Anyway, the sons didn't dare to argue with Lao Tzu when we got together, so let's obediently be his third master!
Yu Zhi...
Isn't this too child's play? The one out last night...
She really wanted to know whose idea it was.
