Two days later, Jin Xiang received an apology letter.

The next day, the emperor went to court in the morning. He never mentioned the matter of recommending the prime minister. He only lost his temper over Jin Xiang's confession. The general idea was that Jin Xiang had been an old minister for a long time and began to rely on his elders. However, he was still generous.

Isn’t it easy to be a king?

After the early court, Prime Minister Jin returned to Zhongshu, and together with Prime Minister Wei, Prime Minister Yan, and several ministers, they invited the emperor.

In the past few days, the emperor has not gone to court early or discussed matters. Zhongshu and various ministries have accumulated a lot of urgent matters. Now is the turn of spring and summer, which is when things are most urgent.

The emperor was leaning on the couch with a look of sadness. However, although he looked very unhappy, he was much neater and neater than usual in government affairs. This time, the imperial affairs were discussed much faster than usual. By around noon, there was a lot of accumulation.

A lot of things have been discussed.

Seeing the growing tiredness on the emperor's face, Zheng Zhiyuan hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "This year's martial arts performance by Jin Mingchi will be the same as last year, or..."

"Has the Qintian Supervisor taken a good look at the future?" The emperor interrupted Zheng Zhiyuan with a look of boredom.

"I'm looking forward to two dates, both of which are very auspicious. One is the last three days of this month, and the other is from the seventh to ninth day of next month." Zheng Zhiyuan replied hurriedly.

"Well, let's go from the seventh to the ninth day of next month." The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "From the beginning of this year to now, there has been no good time for this and that. This year's martial arts performance, you must handle it well and maintain your military spirit.

It can drive away hundreds of evil spirits and get rid of these annoying ominous things."

The emperor said, looking at Jin Xiang and others, "You also need to worry about the martial arts. How are the navy's preparations going? You can go and see it in person later." The emperor looked at Bai Jingning and said, "Go.

Let’s see how the preparations are going. It’s best to do something new this year. It’s the same thing every year. If there’s going to be a war, the routine will have been figured out long ago.”

Seeing the bored and dissatisfied expression on the emperor's face, Bai Jingning stepped forward and bowed to agree.

"This is a big deal. Let everything else go first. You guys can get this thing done first." The emperor looked at Jin Xiang and others again and ordered vaguely.

Everyone agreed. Zheng Zhiyuan wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the emperor had already raised his hand and waved, he had no choice but to swallow his words and, together with everyone else, bowed his hands and left.

After leaving Qinzheng Hall, Zheng Zhiyuan called Bai Jingning, followed Prime Minister Wei and entered Zhongshu.

The emperor has said that this year's Jinmingchi martial arts performance will be properly organized. If it is the same as last year, it will be against the order. But how to make it different and how to make it lively and festive is not something that he alone can decide.

Son.

Besides, even if he could make the decision alone, he didn't want to make the decision alone.

The emperor has been very temperamental these days. He has taken matters into his own hands, and he might have gotten into trouble and been unlucky.

Jin Xiang, Wei Xiang and Yan Xiang, as well as Zheng Zhiyuan, Bai Jingning and others, entered the three rooms of Zhongshu and took their seats. Jin Xiang looked at Bai Jingning and said: "In the matter of martial arts, the navy is the big one, you say it first

Tell me."

"It will only be half a month until the seventh day of next month. The Navy has already rehearsed it. No matter what else is added, it will be too late."

Bai Jingning answered simply, meeting Zheng Zhiyuan's gaze, and continued: "Your Majesty wants to celebrate and get rid of the unsatisfactory situation from the beginning of the new year to now. This martial arts performance must go smoothly and there must not be any mistakes.

It's easy to arrange a few new items, but if I practice it for the past half month without making any mistakes, I definitely won't be able to do it. Zheng Shangshu has the final say on this matter."

"But the emperor has said that there will be something new this year. When the emperor said it, Privy Council Bai did not say these words." Zheng Zhiyuan was a little anxious. He was in charge of the martial arts and it was not done well. He had to confront the emperor.

He is also the one with the bad temper.

Bai Jingning glanced at Zheng Zhiyuan and ignored him.

"Look, Prime Minister Wei?" Zheng Zhiyuan turned to Prime Minister Wei for help.

"What Privy Bai said is very true, but the Emperor's words should not be taken carelessly. What do you think of Jin Xiang?" Wei Xiang looked at Jin Xiang.

"Privy Privy Bai will go to the navy first and discuss with them to see if we can come up with some solution that is both safe and fresh." Jin Xiang looked at Bai Jingning first.

Bai Jingning leaned forward and agreed.

"The emperor's intention is to drive away the unfavorable situation first. This is indeed like what Privy Bai said. There is no room for error. Go back and think about it carefully, or find someone to discuss it to see if you can come up with other ways.

A good omen or something.

The second is the excitement. Regarding this, Zheng Shangshu has to think of a way. Zheng Shangshu has organized many fireworks and lantern festivals. The excitement of the Jinmingchi martial arts performance is much simpler than that of the fireworks and lantern festivals. What does Wei Xiang say?"

Jin Xiang said this to Zheng Zhiyuan, but he looked at Wei Xiang.

Prime Minister Wei frowned, twirling his beard and humming, "That's what I mean too. Let's work out a solution from both sides. Privy Bai and Shui Jun will discuss it. Even if there is no new look, the order, clothing, etc., will change.

, it is also considered fresh. Zheng Shangshu will think of other ways. Jin Mingchi's martial arts performance is not only a martial arts performance, but also fun with the people. There is always a way to use it."

"Yes." Zheng Zhiyuan reluctantly lowered his eyes and agreed.

This new trick still fell on his head. Alas, he has no talent. What he fears most is the words "fresh trick." Well, I will have to ask Mr. Jiang for advice later.

……………………

I fell in love with Cao Shan's precious daughter at first sight when I was fifteen years old. I spent a year of hard work and finally got it. I quickly married the young son-in-law of Qiang Qiang, Cao Shan's daughter-in-law Liu Sao Zitang.

My sister's son, Pan Dalang, and Pan Dalang's other childhood sweetheart, was Wu Sanniang, sister-in-law Liu's cousin's daughter.

The Liu family, the Pan family and the Wu family all lived on the same street. In the past, the Cao Shan family lived on this street, across the street from the Liu family and next to the Pan family. Later, Cao Shan became the apprentice of Eunuch Cui and became rich.

I bought a house with three entrances in Jiebei Lane, a street away, and gave the old house next to the Pan family as a dowry to my daughter. The Pan family opened a door on the middle partition wall and moved the Cao family's house into the house.

It has become a love nest for the young couple, and the two families have become one family.

The Wu family is a butcher, and their family owns three butcher shops, across from the former Cao family and now the Pan family.

After Pan Dalang and Mrs. Cao got married, Wu Sanniang originally gave up her mind, but after half a year of choosing the marriage, she could not find anyone who was more handsome and considerate than Pan Dalang. In a depressed mood, she saw that Pan Dalang had married a man with a generous dowry.

Madam Cao, her new clothes came one after another, each one brighter and brighter than the last. It really made Pan Dalang look like a handsome and elegant young man. Wu Sanniang could just see from Pan Dalang the elegance of Mr. Jiang in Yun Cai's eyes.

.

Pan Dalang, Madam Cao, and Sanniang Wu were all childhood sweethearts. Before marrying Madam Cao, they couldn't tell which one they liked more. Anyway, they both touched and kissed, and they both tasted good. After marrying Madam Cao, they both tasted good.

Finally, when I looked at Wu Sanniang again, I found that Wu Sanniang was more beautiful, interesting and pleasant.

The two of them were separated by an alley three feet apart. You fell in love with each other at first glance. The more we looked at each other, the more we felt good about each other. One day, Wu Sanniang watched Madam Cao and her mother-in-law go to Daxiangguo Temple to listen to sutras and pray for children, and she took half a piece of cake with her.

Braised pork liver and a pack of raw stir-fried lungs slipped into Pan's house across the door. Pan Dalang prepared a bottle of wine. The two of them originally just complained about their grievances and flirted with each other, but who knew that after a few glasses of wine, they felt so hot all over their bodies?

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went through all the trouble, and it turned out to be a good thing.

I don’t know how many times it was when Madam Cao caught someone in bed. Anyway, the two of them had already cooperated tacitly and were so interesting that they couldn’t let go of each other.

Cao Shan hurried home that day and heard that it was such a troublesome thing. Even though he was worried, he didn't take it seriously. She was cheating on her before she got married. She was not his daughter, but his daughter.

It's a common thing for a young and energetic young man who has caught an adulterer to lose control and loosen his belt for a moment. There are few men who don't cheat.

Cao Shan persuaded his daughter a few words and asked his daughter-in-law Liu Niangzi to send her daughter back and then go to the Wu family to ask the Wu family to marry her daughter off as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this matter spreads, his daughter will never get a good relationship.

Mrs. Cao was persuaded by her father that it was not a big deal. She kept her eyes open and closed her eyes. She went back and beat Pan Dalang hard. Then she rushed into Wu's house, grabbed Wu Sanniang and started beating her, but Wu Sanniang refused to let him go.

She and the two of them hit the ground on the spot.

Mrs. Liu was so angry and impatient that she went to her cousin Wu Butu, pointed at her nose and scolded her, telling her cousin to marry Wu Sanniang immediately and even from afar.

Although Butcher Wu killed pigs with ruthless and sharp knives, he was soft-tempered and felt unjust, so he said nothing. However, Butcher Wu’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qian, was well-known in the street as a powerful person.

, they danced on the spot and nodded their noses at each other with Madam Liu, scolding each other.

In the courtyard of the Wu family, Madam Cao and Sanniang Wu were fighting hard all over the floor. Madam Liu and her cousin-in-law Madam Qian put their hands on their hips and pointed at each other until they were frothing at the mouth.

The door to Pan's house across the street was open, but from Pan's father and Aunt Liu to Pan Dalang, no one came forward.

On one street, even an 80-year-old woman who had not left her house for many years moved out and leaned against the door frame to watch the excitement.

It's really rare.

After this big fight, the two families were completely at odds. Mrs. Qian simply rushed into Pan's house with her daughter Wu Sanniang in her arms, insisting that Pan Dalang marry her daughter Wu Sanniang.

Pan's father climbed over the wall and escaped. Pan Dalang's mother, Aunt Liu, was hiding in the latrine and could not come out. Pan Dalang was inexperienced and reacted too late instead of running away. He squatted in the corner of the house with his head in his hands. No matter how violent the wind and rain outside, he squatted still and did not move.

.

However, Mrs. Cao and her mother, Mrs. Liu, chased in, and the two pairs of mother and daughter started fighting again.

Naturally, there would be no results from the beating, and since they were all relatives, there was no reason to sue the officials. The two pairs of mother and daughter were beaten softly and their voices were hoarse by the scolding. They were tired, so they had to go home first.

Mrs. Cao was so tired that she fell asleep. When she woke up, she didn't see Pan Dalang when she opened her eyes. She hurriedly jumped up and looked for her. In the side room in the yard next door, she found Wu Sanniang, who was hugging Wu Sanniang, touching her and trying her best to comfort her.

Pan Dalang.

Madam Cao screamed and rushed towards Wu Sanniang. Pan Dalang stood between them. Wu Sanniang rushed out of the house. Madam Cao was hugged by Pan Dalang, who hugged and comforted her dearly.

Madam Cao was really comforted.

Was it like this when you were a child?

From that day on, the three of them were almost the same as Madam Cao and Pan Dalang before they got married. The two women scolded and fought across Pan Dalang, trying their best to pull Pan Dalang to their side. However, there was still a difference. They didn't get married.

Before, I just touched and kissed her, but now it's much deeper.

The quarrel lasted for more than ten days, and the two mothers-in-law Liu Niangzi and Qian Niangzi had three fights and two fights. Liu Niangzi blocked the door of Pan's house and scolded her cousin Aunt Liu four times, while Qian Niangzi always scolded her cousin Aunt Liu whenever she had time.

Move a bench to sit in front of Pan's house opposite, and insist that Pan Dalang marry her daughter home, otherwise he will accuse Pan Dalang of seducing the daughter of a good family and a yellow flower...

On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, Mrs. Qian pushed her daughter Wu Sanniang into Pan's house across the street, held her head high and announced that her daughter Wu Sanniang was pregnant, and the doctor said it was definitely a boy.

Pan Dalang's mother, Aunt Liu, didn't mind her son bringing in another daughter-in-law. Of course, it would be better if he could bring another dowry.

Now that I heard that Wu Sanniang is pregnant with a boy, her attitude has become clear. Let’s not talk about whether Wu Sanniang can enter the house or not. The boy of their old Pan family must be well raised and born in their old Pan family.
