Volume Two, Chapter Fourteen
Zhang Ping was right, He Qian was indeed quite afraid of his family because his background was really bad.
His family originally had a few acres of thin fields, and eating was a problem. In order to support him in the imperial examination, his family also built a high-rise platform.
However, after he passed the imperial examination, he was attracted by the Wang family, the most famous local official family.
The Wang family sent someone to come to the door, saying that they wanted to train him to take the imperial examination, but there was a prerequisite, that is, he had to marry Miss Wang as his wife.
He was also crazy at that time. He extended an olive branch like the famous official family like the Wang family, so he naturally took it without hesitation. Even if Miss Wang was a little ugly, he accepted it.
As a result, his miserable life began.
Not only is the lady of the Wang family ugly, but she has an ugly temper, but she is also quite jealous. Over the years, let alone taking a concubine, he can't even touch the maids at home. She will be furious when touched. Unfortunately, he has been in high school for more than ten years and has been living a life with a yellow-faced woman, and he doesn't even dare to touch a maid.
He also thought about revitalizing his husband's back and getting rid of the yellow-faced woman. However, whenever he thinks about the situation at home, he becomes timid because his mansion and land are all bought by the Wang family, and the Wang family is incredibly powerful in the local area. If he dares to turn against each other, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He could only silently endure Wang's increasingly ugly yellow-faced woman, and didn't dare to say anything. Wang's "oppression" also made his mind increasingly distorted and became extremely sinister. As the wealth in his hands increased, his idea of taking a concubine became increasingly unstoppable.
Why can others take concubines by being a small county magistrate? He has even reached the sixth-rank "high-ranking official" and still has to guard a yellow-faced woman.
He had been thinking for a long time and finally asked him to come up with a solution.
This time, after he moved to Jinling to take up his post, he used the excuse that his son needed to review and prepare for the provincial examination. It was not advisable to wander around with him, leaving his son in his hometown, and also letting Wang stay at home to watch his son. He secretly took a beautiful woman in Jinling City, free and happy.
Of course, he also knew that his son He Zhi would come to Jinling City for the exam sooner or later, so he had already prepared a separate courtyard. As soon as his son came, he hid the concubine he had taken.
He originally thought that He Zhi would go back to his hometown after the exam, but he never thought that before the provincial examination began, Wang ran over with his son's butt.
Now, he was so depressed that he could only secretly favor this concubine on the excuse of being busy with official duties or on vacation after get off work.
He thought that doing this would hide it from Wang, but he never thought that Wang had already begun to doubt him.
On that day, he went to work at the Ministry of Rites as usual. He Zhi also invited a group of friends to go there and enjoy the fun. The only thing left in the He family was the mistress Wang, who sat there like a resentful woman in the deep boudoir, and sighed frequently.
Suddenly, a rumor sounded outside: "Report, Madam, the shopkeeper of Shaxi Silk Village in the city asked for a visit."
She has never heard of Shaxi Silk and Satin Village.
However, women are born with no resistance to clothes and fabrics, and she is no exception. She is still idle anyway, so it is better to invite people to come in and see what is going on.
Thinking of this, she said directly to the outside: "Let him in."
Soon, an old man with white hair came in with a piece of silk.
The old man ran in and was about to salute, but when he saw Wang's appearance, he was stunned.
He was stunned for a moment, and then stammered: "You dare to ask that the old lady is Mrs. He's mother. I don't know if Mrs. He is there. The high-quality silk she ordered in the little old lady's shop last month, so the little old lady specially sent it over."
What is Mrs. He’s mother? I’m the authentic Mrs. He, okay?
When Wang heard this, he couldn't help but say annoyed: "You're afraid you remembered it wrong. I'm Mrs. He, and I've never ordered any silk in your store."
The old man said in a daze: "It's impossible. Mrs. He is only 28 years old and looks as beautiful as a flower. This is not the first time that the little old man has come here. Mrs. He often orders high-quality silk in the little old man's shop. Every time, it's the little old man personally delivered it. The little old man has seen Mr. He. If you don't believe me, go and ask Mr. He."
Wang was stunned when he heard this, and then he glared as if he was about to kill someone.
She didn't understand anymore, that was a pig. It turned out that He Qian, the dog, really raised a vixen here!
She couldn't help but shouted angrily: "If you dare to lie to me, I will immediately let someone blow up your shop. Do you believe it?"
The old man was so scared that he lay on the ground and kowtowed hard, "How dare you deceive the old lady? If you don't believe me, go and ask Lord He."
I asked if I was young?
Wang suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "How much does this silk cost?"
The old man quickly replied, "Lady, this is the best Shu brocade, six taels of silver per piece."
Wang was too lazy to talk to him, and shouted directly to the outside: "Come on, come and get six taels of silver."
You He Qian, you dare to raise a vixen with me on your back, and you also bought such good silk for others. When you come back, I will see how I deal with you.
Now He Qian didn't know that the fire had caught in the backyard of his home. If he knew about it, he would probably be scared even his soul.
However, Yang Cong prepared more than that for He Qian, and he also made arrangements for He Zhi.
He Zhizheng and a group of friends were drinking in a restaurant, and a smart young man suddenly ran outside their elegant seat and shouted, "Young master, young master, I have an urgent matter."
He Zhi looked up and saw who this guy is? He doesn't know him. However, he has not been here for the Jinling He Mansion for a long time, and he has been held in the study by his father most of the time. He doesn't see many servants in the mansion, so it's normal for a few people who don't know him.
He was a little confused about drinking now, and he never thought that he was here to set up a condom. He said in a daze: "What's the matter?"
The clever young man took the opportunity to come to his ear and whispered: "The master is raising a concubine privately. The wife is furious in the mansion. As soon as the young man saw the butler running out sneakily, he followed the butler all the way. Finally, he found that the concubine raised by the master lived in a house near the mansion."
When He Zhi heard this, he was stunned.
There is also this, he really didn't expect it.
These days, because his father He Qian failed the exam in the foreign country, he scolded him every day, and he became popular. Just so happened that he took this opportunity to let my mother clean up his father.
As soon as he got drunk, he became a little confused. Even his father wanted to deal with it!
This guy actually found the concubine that my father had kept privately. OK, he said without hesitation: "Let's go, take me to see."
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly helped him out of the restaurant respectfully and walked straight toward the neighborhood of He Mansion.
The place where He Zhi drank was not far from the He Mansion, so soon they came to an outside a separate courtyard near the He Mansion. At this time, the butler of the He Mansion sneaked out of it.
