Dust washing

"Sir, please wait. I have already sent someone to the Houzhai to report the news. Since I arrived at the Duke's Mansion, I have never seen the master of my family. I really dare not let you in. Please wait for a while and wait until the mansion recognizes the identity of the master..."

As soon as the door that blocked Xia Xun said this, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant laugh, two girls flashed out of the door. The two girls were both brocade skirts and boots, which made them look pink and beautiful and beautiful. They chased them one by one, and seemed to want to go out to the street. Both of them had blonde hair, and their hair was combed into small braids, shaking on their shoulders as they ran.

When Xia Xun saw it, it turned out to be Jeona and Xilin. They were no longer covered in veils. It must be because they have been in the Central Plains for a long time and have followed the customs.

"Ah! Master!"

When the two girls saw Xia Xun, they immediately ran over happily and bowed down.

"You...why are you here?"

When it was Xilin and Jeona, Xia Xun couldn't help but be surprised. Jeona's blue eyes that were affectionate and resentful, tempting and criminal, glanced at him faintly and said, "The Duke's mansion was completed, and the princess of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion... gave the Duke a group of dance music as a housewarming ceremony, so we... naturally came back."

"Ah! Is that true..."

A hint of resentment in Jeona's eyes was deliberately ignored by him, and Xia Xun felt a little secretly happy.

The main reason for sending these two girls out was to show kindness to the princess. Since the relationship has been determined for life, the girl has not yet passed the door, and you have one to marry a concubine on the left and the other to take a maid on the right. What's going on?

In fact, it would be fine if Xilin had a sexy and beautiful look. Jeona's natural smile was very popular. Her slightly raised sexy and pleasing lips looked like Alba among the Fantastic Four. Xia Xun was actually quite happy to be able to return to her house.

When the gatekeeper heard the two Hu Ji determined that the man in front of him was indeed his master. He immediately knelt down and apologized to Xia Xun: "Master forgive me, Master, I forgive me, the villain has no eyes and offended me..." He said as he raised his mouth.

Xia Xun stopped him and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The servant was even more frightened when he heard this, and replied tremblingly: "Master, the villain is called Li Liben, the villain knows the crime..."

Xia Xun laughed and said, "You are very good. From now on, the access control of the Duke's Mansion will be left to you. If you tell Butler Xiao, you will say what I said."

In this sentence, Li Liben was promoted to be a manager in the mansion. Li Liben was surprised and happy, and quickly kowtowed to thank him again. Xia Xun waved his hand and asked Xilin and Jeona to lead him into his mansion. The mansion was just not yet built. He had been here twice and was not familiar with the road. At this time, looking at the scenery in the mansion again, it was naturally very different. When he walked in, it was not only magnificent everywhere, but also had a double door and a stack of courtyards. It really felt like the marquis door was as deep as the sea.

Walking in it, a strict temperament came up unknowingly. Because it was Xilin and the others who asked him to lead the way, the two girls dared to come to him boldly. They wanted to report the hostess quickly, so they stepped on their long thighs and walked very fast, and Xia Xun had to speed up his pace to catch up.

The two girls are of Yarien, with taller figures than those of the Central Plains women. The pair of thighs, which are staggered in movement, look particularly slender because of their graceful figure. The clothes are very well-fitting, and the tailored Western Hu style is so obvious that the body curves are relatively obvious. The curves of the chest, waist and legs are smooth and slender, with indescribable tempting charm.

Everyone has a love for beauty. Xia Xun's eyes were originally admiring the scenery in his yard, but before he knew it, he lingered on them and became to appreciate the charm of the beauty. After passing the second door, several people hurried towards him. He had not noticed it yet. It was not until the two blonde girls bowed and called out: "Madam Qi!" He saw the person coming.

In addition to Zi Qi, there were two men next to him. When Xia Xun saw him, he was a little stunned, then he quickly moved to meet him, bowed his hand and greeted him with a smile: "Second uncle, uncle, what are you here!"

The visitors were Peng Wanli and Peng Ziqi. When Xia Xun suppressed the Japanese, he used their power in Shandong Prefecture. The biggest problem for the officers and soldiers to eliminate the gangs was not that they did not have the power to destroy the gangs, but that they had no way to start. However, this was not a problem for the Peng family, which had many gangs. Xia Xun originally meant that he wanted to ask his uncle to help provide information to the officers and soldiers. The specific matters were done by the government, but although the Peng family had no intention of rebelling, they still disgusted with cooperating with the government in their bones.

They were willing to take action because they were the son-in-law of the Peng family, not the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they rejected Xia Xun's suggestion and directly used the Peng family's power. Now, most of the Japanese pirates have retreated back to their homeland because they saw that they were inadvertent, and the action of purges in the coastal areas and suppressing spies has ended. Peng Wanli and Peng Ziqi came to Jinling to see Ziqi, and then they were about to rush to east Zhejiang to meet Yang Xu.

Because the Peng family's activities in Dengzhou Prefecture were under the guise of the Jinyiwei, they were affiliated with Chen Dong's name, and the guards of Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong received the instructions of Xia Xun and always thought that these elusive people in the martial arts world were Jinyiwei, so they provided great cooperation and convenience. Although the Peng family was working hard to eliminate Japanese pirates and purge traitors, they also gained great benefits. They finally had their own territory on the ground in Shandong.

In the past, although their mountain gate was located in Qingzhou, its power foundation was still in Huaixi. Now the White Lotus Sect in Dengzhou Prefecture has been almost completely cleaned up. They naturally took over the forces of the White Lotus Sect in Dengzhou Prefecture and controlled this area. Of course, the White Lotus Sect in Dengzhou Prefecture may not be all the eyes and ears of Japanese pirates. The Peng family's operation was to beat rabbits and use the power of the government to eradicate them together. It is probably not easy to get up early without profit. It is probably not easy to be a national British who is selfless and selfless.

The two of them had just arrived at the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion and were welcomed by Peng Ziqi for not long. Unexpectedly, Xia Xun suddenly returned to Beijing and they happened to meet each other.

When the family saw the gift, they walked towards the flower hall, and Silin and Jeanna walked obediently in front.

Xia Xun was not satisfied with thanking her, and couldn't help but feel nervous. He asked her quickly. Zi Qi said, "In the past few months, my family has been invited by Liu Yijian, a famous doctor in the capital, to treat her and take care of her. Unfortunately, this famous doctor Liu Da was also sick recently. He is old and it is difficult to go out again. The doctor next to me didn't believe it, so I asked Xiao Di to accompany him to Liu Yijian's mansion and ask him to take his pulse."

When Xia Xun heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile. This is really a poor and poor way to raise a wealthy way. Su Ying gave birth to two children for him, and she didn't see her passing so carefully. However,... In this era, giving birth is indeed a life-and-death barrier for women. Even if she passed this barrier safely, the child's premature death rate after giving birth is very high, so it is still necessary to pay more attention, so he didn't say anything else.

He saw that he had already walked to the entrance of the flower hall and was greeting someone to make tea and prepare a banquet. He asked in a low voice: "By the way, why did Xilin and Jeona send it back again? He also sent a group of female musicians. What kind of female music dance class do we need to raise?"

Before Ziqi could speak, Peng Wanli said: "What you want, what you want, what you want, what you have to have, what kind of status you have. You are now a Duke and a high-ranking minister. In the future, you will be dealing with princes and ministers. There will always be a host of princes and ministers. When you are invited to the house, you will not even raise a dance and music team at home. Wouldn't you be a despised? Even the local gentry and tycoons have to raise a opera troupe in the house, let alone you are a Duke."

"Second Uncle!"

Peng Ziqi glared at Peng Wanli, then turned to Xia Xun, and said angrily: "You still said that, I didn't know that you would take two of them away and bring them back."

Xia Xun smiled dryly and said, "It's just a dance team, and our family can't afford it."

Peng Ziqi curled his lips and said, "If it is true, I am afraid that someone will be wrong. When I came to the back house, I didn't know whose eyes were, so I looked at them where I shouldn't have looked."

In front of the Peng family's uncle and nephew, Xia Xun couldn't help but blush when she said it. Peng Wanli scolded unhappily: "Ziqi, how do you speak? You are now a wife, so you must not speak so unruly!"

Peng Ziqi said dissatisfiedly: "Second uncle, why are you talking to him too! Look, just now, a rich Japanese man called me ran to the mansion and left four Japanese dancers, saying that they were gifts for you, and then turned around and ran away. He couldn't even push him away. As soon as he left, you came back..."

Xia Xunqi said, "Ah! Has the fat rich come? I said I won't accept this guy... Forget it, I'll give them to someone afterwards..."

Peng Ziqi quickly stopped him: "Don't go on! I understand. Your assistant minister has to collect rent when he gives gifts, so don't bring a bunch back then!"

The couple used quarrels as flirting and quarreled all the way into the flower hall. Xia Xun knew that Ziqi had a guru and a tofu heart. Although he spoke well, he was actually more easy-going than thanking him, so he didn't take it seriously at all. Peng Ziqi, who always favored girls, smiled beside him and listened to the couple's quarrels and did not interrupt. Peng Wanli glanced at the two of them, but was a little uneasy.

The family sat down at the flower hall. When Xia Xun talked about the situation in eastern Zhejiang, Ziqi also told Xia Xun about the general situation of the Duke's Mansion. After drinking two cups of tea, Na came to report that the bath water had been boiled. Peng's uncle and nephew were not outsiders. Xia Xun asked Ziqi to accompany him, and he sued himself and went to take a bath. The dust on the way, he had to wash the dust when he returned home.

As soon as Xia Xun left, Peng Wanli sank his face and said to Ziqi: "You kid, you are so ignorant. Although your brother and I are not outsiders, how can you face Yang Xu like this in front of us? Even in private, you shouldn't have to do it. You forgot why your aunt became a nun? A family of juren has such rules, let alone Yang Xu is a Duke now. Except for the emperor and prince, the world belongs to him."

Peng Ziqi muttered, "I... have always talked to him like this, and he doesn't care."

"That won't happen either!"

Peng Wanli took on the airs of his elders and said seriously: "It is not a good thing to be favored and charmed."

He glanced at the door and lowered his voice and said, "Why are you ignorant? Yang Xu's status is different now. The wife of Xie is about to give birth. Once you have a son, your situation will be even worse. Women, no matter how favored you are in your parents' home, once you pass the door, you will have to regard your husband as the best person, and you must invite favors, and you must not be jealous or resentful of your husband. That will suffer a great loss. Fortunately, Yang Xu's parents are gone, otherwise, the old man and the old lady are here, can you allow your daughter-in-law to be so arrogant?"

Peng Ziqi said angrily: "Uncle Second, you are talking to him as a senior official, right?"

Peng Wanli said seriously: "Wrong! No matter how you were before, it would be different if you marry. The water splashed by a married girl will be supported by you in the past. Since you have entered someone else's door and have a reputation, you are the other person. You must have a moral character and abide by the rules. Even if he is still a scholar in Shandong now, if I ask me to see you like this, I will still be scolded!!"

Peng Ziqi didn't say anything and gave him a big roll of eyes.

Peng Ziqi said slowly: "Girl, don't disagree. Uncle Er is right! Your temper needs to be changed."

They were all men of that era, and they were also local gentry, and they were all wives and concubines. They didn’t think that it was a great thing for a national prince to raise a dance team and a few concubines and maids. These words were not because Xia Xun became a high-ranking official, but because he was indeed thinking about Ziqi.

Ziqi just saw her husband come back and acted coquettishly with him. However, she was very depressed by her second uncle and elder brother. She gave the two a blank look and said, "You came from Shandong all the way to teach me a lesson, right?"

Peng Wanli smiled and said, "What? Are you not convinced? Even if you become the wife of the imperial decree, you are my niece of Peng Wanli. Can't you teach you a lesson?"

Peng Ziqi said: "We came to Jinling this time to see you and to meet my sister-in-law. We were going to go east of Zhejiang, but he didn't expect him to come back. Now, the territory of Dengzhou Prefecture has been taken over by us. There are some things here that we always hear him know. In addition, many brothers have been added all of them, all of whom want to support their families for dinner, but their original business is mostly cheating and can't be done anymore.

You also know that our Peng family makes money by carriages, bodyguards and river transportation. These are reliable and cannot support the brothers of Dengzhou Prefecture. Besides, we do business to make money, so we can't take it out. Dengzhou Prefecture is located in the sea, and we can't do business that is unscrupulous, so we have to rely on the sea to eat. We heard that the imperial court suppressed the Japanese in order to reopen the market and trade with Japan, so we want our sister-in-law to help us and get a sea to explore the city."

Peng Ziqi opened his eyes in surprise and said in surprise: "Why, our Peng family... also wants to do maritime business?"

Peng Ziqi said, "What? Isn't it okay? Taigong said that when we couldn't stop the sea market, going overseas to do business was the most profitable business. If we transport one or two raw silk from Central Plains to Japan, we could earn 20 times better than in Central Plains. This is a good deal! The needles and threads that can be seen everywhere in the street vendor's stalls will be very profitable. This matter was decided by Taigong. We came here, we originally wanted to ask you to write a letter, but coincidentally your husband came back. You have to talk to him. If this matter is solved, we can gain a foothold in Dengzhou Prefecture and solve the livelihood problems of many believers, which will also be of great benefit to our Peng family."

Peng Ziqi snorted, raised his chin and said, "Don't let me go, what about our Peng family, Peng family, don't get close to me. I'm a married girl, splashed water, and when I entered the Yang family, I'm a member of the Yang family. I have to plan for my husband in everything. Whether your Peng family makes a profit or not has any business to me. My husband does it just want to do it. He is just a woman, and if he has the virtue of his wife, how can he get involved?"

Peng Ziqi said angrily: "Stupid girl, you want to be angry to death, right?"

Peng Ziqi made a face at him and said with a smile: "Go and go, die, don't die in my Yang family, it's bad luck!"

Peng Wanli said, "Okay, okay, Ziqi, you learn from her too, there are no rules. I told my niece to my niece to be so unbelievable."

Peng Ziqi glared at his sister and said, "You, it's better to work hard to have a son early. You have been married for several years, and I'm so anxious for you."

As soon as she talked about this, she was right in Ziqi's heart. She said with a bitter face: "I don't want to do it either, why didn't I have a baby?"

Peng Wanli suddenly shook his eyebrows, stroked his beard, and slowly said, "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. Any girl from the Peng family who has practiced this qigong seems not very easy. Could it be... related to the domineeringness of this technique?"

Peng Ziqi jumped up in an instant and said in surprise: "Really?"

Peng Wanli hesitated and said, "Probably... maybe..., it should be. I have thought about it. As far as I know, it is the case for the Peng family of several generations. It would be fine if you don't practice this qigong. You have an aunt who has not given birth to a child for decades after marrying her. Later, she was discouraged and put down her martial arts skills. Hey! She actually gave birth. At that time, she was in her early fifties."

Peng Ziqi was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Then didn't you say it earlier?"

Peng Wanli said, "This... I'm just guessing. After all, there are not many girls in the Peng family who are willing to practice martial arts. There are even fewer girls who are willing to work hard to practice the best swordsmanship with this sect. There are not many such things. I remember that I had this idea by chance more than ten years ago. I never thought about it. I randomly criticized the fault of this sect and did not peel me off?"

"You...you..."

Peng Ziqi gritted his teeth and complained: "Second uncle, do you know how much bitter medicine soup I have drunk? I am still drinking it now. I am looking at the child, but I am not doing it. How many tears have I shed from behind my back? What is the Five Tiger Breaking Door Knife? It's just a broken son and grandson Knife. Uncle Stupid Second, I...I'll strangle you to death!"

Peng Wanli quickly resisted: "Stupid girl, don't be big or small! Stop it, I have another idea. Every generation of our Peng family has more men and fewer women, and maybe it's related to this. If you stop practicing martial arts now, you can not only give birth, but also give birth to a son!"

"I don't care! You know if you didn't say it earlier, I'll strangle you to death!"

The uncle and nephew were making a fuss, and Xia Xun, with wet hair, tied a bun, rushed in with a light robe: "Ziqi, find out my knife!"

"ah?"

Zi Qi let go and turned around and said in surprise: "Don't you really want to do it?"

Xia Xunqi said, "Who do you do it? I'm talking about the knife I got on Xiangshan Seaside. I'm useful. I'm afraid that I'll forget it if I suddenly remember it, so I told you. What are you doing?"

Peng Ziqi said embarrassedly: "I...I'm having fun with my second uncle..."
