Taming the villain little fox (wearing a book)

After sending Duanmu Chang'an away, Sima Yan went to Kunning Palace.

Empress Wu is playing chess with Sima Yi.

"Why are you here?" Empress Wu patted the kang next to her, "There's no need to be formal, come and sit."

She is about the same age as the emperor, taller, bloated, more than noble, but lacking in beauty: long face, phoenix eyes, thick lips, thick bangs barely covering a long scar on the forehead, slightly moving hair, the dark purple scar will be revealed.

"Courtesy cannot be discarded." Sima Yan insisted on saluting, and said: "I come to see the queen mother, and I will accompany the mother to have dinner."

Sima also snorted coldly, put down the Go piece in his hand, and said, "I didn't say a single word of truth, it's clearly to find out about Wei Er."

"What do you say about your brother?" Empress Wu glared at Sima Yi, then smiled and asked Sima Yan, "I heard that your fourth brother is sick, and it's a little serious. Your father took the imperial doctor to see him in the afternoon. You went ?"

Sima Yan moved an embroidered pier and sat down, "I went to see it in the morning, and it's really not good. I have vomiting and diarrhea, and I don't know what I ate. It ate bad."

"Just read it." Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction, "You are the oldest, and you live together again. Don't send medicines and supplements, but you should walk around more often and say hello."

"it is good."

"Don't take your brothers to Laoshizi Xiangmanyuan in the future, after all, it's not at home, and if something happens, you will have to bear the blame."

"The son obeys the mother."

"That's good, tell me, what are you doing here, are you really here for Wei Lan's business?"

"Yes." Sima Yan has always respected Empress Wu, seeing that she asked a serious question, he no longer concealed it, and just glanced at Sima Yi.

Empress Wu understood what he meant, so she asked Sima Yan to follow her to the study to talk.

When the two walked to the door, Sima Yi muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's just a wild girl, and I won't fight with you. If there is anything to hide, Brother Dahuang has more things to do."

Sima Yan shook his head helplessly. Ever since his father came to the throne, this younger brother has been out of tune, telling everyone that he is not interested in the throne.

They are all brothers, is it necessary?

Empress Wu's study is in Xinuange.

The couple sat opposite each other on the heated kang, a maid brought tea in, and quickly withdrew.

"Why, did you hear the news that your mother has accepted your side concubine?" Empress Wu asked with a smile.

"My son, thank you, Queen Mother." Sima Yan thanked first.

"Thank you." Empress Wu came over, straightened the hair on his ears, and said, "I heard from my daughter-in-law that you often mention her, so it's very rare. It's just a girl who wants to accept her." That's it, I don't have to worry about it."

"Mother's queen..." Sima Yan really likes beauties, but he doesn't like to plunder. He is determined to be a good emperor. First of all, he must not have any major flaws in morality.

"Wei Lan is the granddaughter of Old Duke Wei. She is beautiful and capable. Although I like her, I don't want to embarrass Old Duke."

"Why, he didn't ask for a girl from the Cao family, so why should he be in trouble? It's just a country girl. If it wasn't for you, how could this palace allow a girl of that status to enter my royal family?" Empress Wu's pair of The slender crescent eyebrows were tightly frowned.

Again.

His mother, who is used to being strong, seems to always decide other people's positions and lives based on her own interests.

He thought for a while and said: "Mother, the emperor said that he will not establish a crown prince for the time being. Even if he establishes a crown prince, the main consideration is to establish a virtuous man. My son thinks that it is not worthwhile to upset the old Duke of Wei because of a woman." .”

"Lixian, of course Lixian, isn't my son virtuous enough? How many things have he done in the past few years? What does the emperor want?" Empress Wu couldn't control her temper when she got angry, and she asked several questions in succession, one after another. high.

"Mother's queen." Sima Yan's voice was also a little louder. He felt that his mother was good in everything, but one thing was bad, that is, her children were all treasures, and other people's children were all grass, too domineering.

He suppressed the impatience in his heart, and asked: "I only want to ask you one question, is the future of the minister important, or the mother's face?"

Empress Wu was questioned, she had to admit that what Sima Yan said made sense, and the reason why she was angry was indeed because the Cao family refuted her face.

After a while, she said calmly: "Forget it, if you have fewer women, the queen mother should worry less. You can do whatever you want."

Sima Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your understanding."

"What are you talking about with your mother, your future is also your mother's future, we are one." Empress Wu stood up, "Let's go, the third child is still waiting to play chess with me."

"Okay." Sima Yanxu supported Empress Wu's arm and walked out of the study together.

"I heard from the third son that Wei Lan has a sister who is not as good looking as her, is that true?" Empress Wu asked.

"A country girl, she has a pretty face, but she lacks a little grace." Speaking of this, Sima Yan laughed, "Speaking of Wei Lan's sister, she also has an uncle and sister who are about the same age, and that girl looks good. She has a good bearing, no less than Wei Lan, but her temperament is so wild that she can fight and kill wolves. According to Chang An, she has been invincible in the village since she was a child, and she was nicknamed Tigress."

Mother and child are connected, Sima Yan felt that the tone of his words just now was a bit heavy, so he intentionally chatted some gossip to ease the atmosphere.

"Hey, tigress." Empress Wu became interested, "Have you booked yet?"

"Haha, the mother's question is on the right track. Chang'an said that the girl was rejected once because of this, but the little girl was a bit lucky, and in a blink of an eye she climbed up to the Jinke Jieyuan in Fengtian Province. The 17-year-old Jieyuan is better than her. The ex-fiancé is even better."

"Chang'an." Empress Wu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that the girl you mentioned saved Chang'an?"

"Yes, it's her, otherwise how would we know each other?"

"Oh, it's the girl's blessing to save Chang'an. This Mr. Xie Yuan is very clear-headed."

"Who are you talking about? Who saved Duanmu Chang'an?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

"It's Wei Lan's cousin..." Empress Wu happily told him about Wei Yan.

While listening, Sima Yi rubbed the Go pieces in his hand to make a "crash" sound, and said, "This woman is quite interesting."

"What's interesting? What's so interesting about a wild girl?" Empress Wu walked up to her and poked Sima Yi on the forehead.

"My imperial brother likes Wei Lan, and the queen mother is nervous about it. My son is just saying something interesting, so he will be reprimanded by the queen mother. The queen mother is so partial, so I don't want to play anymore!" Sima Yi threw the chess piece, "thump, thump, thump" out Went out of the warm court.

"This child is too capricious." Empress Wu shook her head, "In the future, you should take care of him more and don't let him mess around. Queen Wei Lan can make it up, but that tigress will never accept it."

Sima Yan smiled and shook his head, "The queen mother is too worried, she's just a country girl, she can't get along with our youngest."

……

In the afternoon, the wind blew up again in the capital, bringing dust all over the sky, and the sky was gray, as if an autumn rain was coming.

Wei Yan pressed the brim of her hat with her hand, and quickly stepped into the dental shop.

"Madam, what do you want to see?" A man in his thirties greeted him with a smile, "Servants, houses, land, shops... We can find you anything you want here."

"Buy a few capable servants, both men and women." Wei Yan said.

"Okay, please come with me." Yaren invited Wei Yan into the small living room in the backyard, served tea, and went out again.

Wei Yan waited for a while, then heard footsteps in the yard, and then the door opened, and seven people came in, five men and two women.

Looking at the situation, it should be a couple with five children.The husband and wife are about forty or so. The man is powerful, with extremely dark and rough skin; the woman is a woman with a single eyelid and a fine skin and tender flesh.

Four sons, the youngest is eleven or twelve years old.The two big ones are thick and strong like my father, and the two small ones are a little more delicate.

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had double eyelids, an oval face, thick lips, and two small freckles on her face. She was tall and strong like her father, not ugly, but not a beauty either.

The man from Naya introduced that this was a servant of a certain general's mansion whose house had been confiscated a while ago, and he bought it at a bargain when the government mansion was re-sold.

Wei Yan was puzzled, generally speaking, servants of government officials are easy to sell, why is he still in his hands?

Naya seemed to know that Wei Yan had this question, and explained: "This family will not be disassembled and sold, 200 taels of silver, the same price."

Wei Yan re-examined several people again, there are more men than women, and their appearance is not likely to be on the stage.

200 taels is expensive.

Because she is dressed as a rich wife today, so, the dentist wants to eat a rich man?

The man said again: "Ma'am, there is a reason why we sell expensive."

Wei Yan raised her eyebrows, "I would like to hear more about it."

He pointed to the father and the two eldest sons, "These three have all been on the battlefield with the original owner's family. They are very skilled, and they are the most suitable guards."

Wei Yan understood, it was really not easy to sell, most people who had killed someone would not dare to buy it.

She said with a smile, "It's better to have a few ordinary ones, we can't afford it for small families like this."

"Madam, don't rush to refuse, you can tell if it's good or bad." The tooth man pointed to the oldest child and said, "Come here, Zhang Da, give your wife some punches."

"Yes!"

The big Zhang responded like a thunder, and then vigorously played a set of long fists.

Wei Yan doesn't know boxing skills, but he can tell that Zhang Da has both strength and speed, so he usually has no problem dealing with two or three ordinary people.

But she doesn't need someone who can fight now, she just wants a few smart kids who can take on the job of watching and selling goods.

"Our little spirit girl can also do some punching and kicking, madam, would you like to see?" Seeing Wei Yan's silence and refusing to express his opinion, the dental man thought she was tempted, so he said while the iron was hot, "This girl is hardworking, and she just happens to serve her personally. In the future, Mrs. You don’t have to cover it so tightly when you go out.”

Thinking of Wei Lan's maid, Wei Yan still shook her head.

The girl fell to her knees with a plop, kowtowed three times, and begged, "Madam, please buy our family. The servants' family members are very capable. My father has traveled far and wide and is much more knowledgeable than ordinary people." , The three elder brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, and the younger brother of the servant girl is a book boy for the young master at home to ensure that the young master will not be bullied. The slave servants are not bad either, they can do laundry, cook, eat and run errands, please."

Go south and north?

This made Wei Yan a little tempted, but she still didn't express her opinion.

The man was a little disappointed, stood up, and said to the middle-aged man: "Today is the last day, if your family can't sell it, our dental shop will have to dismantle it and sell it. This is what we decided at the beginning."

The middle-aged man looked gloomy, cupped his hands and said: "The villain knows."

Wei Yan nodded inwardly, as if she was honoring her promise, if she was honest, it would be nice to go to the provincial capital to deliver the goods for her.

"Okay, I want this family." She took out 200 taels of silver notes, "Let's finish the deed."

"Oh, this is really great." The dental man couldn't help but cupped his hands again and again, "Thank you for your generosity, madam."

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am!" The little spirit kowtowed several times, got up and hugged the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged man also knelt down with his wife and children, and said: "Old slave Zhang Guang, I pay my respects to my wife."
