Side Story: Fierce Neighbor Melody 1

Pei Yaoguang and Shui Yun's wedding was magnificent. Of course, if time turned back, I think no one would have associated them together, which is fate.

Shui Yun got married and became the Third Young Mistress of the Pei family. And just during the wedding, Yin Fengzhan saw Pei Yaoguang looking triumphant and proud, and felt even more angry in his heart. Then his wrist turned in his sleeve, his fingers flicked lightly, and he secretly made the bridegroom Pei Master fall into a dog-eating mud.

Pei Master made a fool of himself in public, which made him explode! And the people present were not fools. One must know who Pei Yaoguang was?! He was a famous mental patient, and when he went crazy, he didn't know what kind of pit-father attribute would be triggered. So without thinking, he knew that the person who dared to make him unhappy on this occasion and do it without anyone knowing could only be one person, and the only one, that was Yin Fengzhan, the Emperor!

Yin Fengzhan's move was to vent his anger for a group of civil and military officials who had been holding back for a few days, specifically coming to make trouble but not daring to make a big move! And Pei Yaoguang was not easy to mess with. Knowing that this matter was definitely done by the top boss, he didn't hold back, and roared in the wedding hall, not to mention asking about the ancestors of the other party for eight generations, but the words he said were also enough to make people angry and stuffy, which made Yin Fengzhan's teeth itch, but he couldn't jump out and scold back, otherwise wouldn't it be "there is no silver three hundred taels here"?

So finally, it was Shui Yun who secretly pinched Pei Yaoguang, which made this master stop. And Yin Fengzhan, who didn't get any good from the sneak attack, was angry, and directly received a white eye from his own Empress wife Nie Jinxuan, plus a secret kick!

Of course, making trouble is making trouble, but Yin Fengzhan is a person who can distinguish clearly, and he will not affect the overall situation because of these small things in private. Or, although Pei Yaoguang is pit-father, annoying, and a mental patient, his nature is no problem, and his ability is even better, plus Yin Fengzhan is not brain-damaged, so naturally he will not find trouble with Pei Yaoguang in serious matters!

The relationship between the monarch and the minister is just like that. Of course, the big premise is that as a minister, one must be upright, loyal, and capable, and cannot drop the chain at critical moments. And it is precisely because although Pei Yaoguang makes Yin Fengzhan want to kick him to death, he lacks nothing, and when things happen, it is really useful to block the gun and save the fire, so he is so indulgent! Otherwise, if it were someone else, let alone daring to make Yin Fengzhan stuffy, even if he farted in the Golden Palace, he might be removed from his position, and then kicked out of the capital, and he would never want to come up again in this life!

No matter what, although Pei Master's wedding was lively and pit-father and chicken-flying-dog-jumping, Shui Yun finally entered the door of the Pei family. Afterward, Yin Fengzhan was not stingy, and gave Shui Yun a title, which was considered icing on the cake!

And although Shui Yun is now a titled lady, she will still enter the palace frequently. Although Nie Jinxuan said that she doesn't have to come, there are people in the palace to serve, but Shui Yun still insisted, so Nie Jinxuan let her go! Anyway, Shui Yun has been by her side for a long time, and it is not used to not seeing her suddenly. But there is one condition, that is, Shui Yun can enter the palace during the day, but must go home at night.

Because, Shui Yun and Pei Yaoguang are newlyweds. Agreeing to Shui Yun entering the palace is already excessive, if she still doesn't go home every three days, Pei Yaoguang's guy will absolutely trigger the external attribute and act like a donkey!

And, Nie Jinxuan is also worried. One must know that although Pei Yaoguang is married now, he is still a sweet pastry in the eyes of many people. Although his temperament is pit-father, he has money, power, ability, looks handsome, and his age is just right, so if some messy women take advantage of Shui Yun's absence to climb Pei Yaoguang's bed... Of course, according to Pei Yaoguang's brain and personality, Nie Jinxuan is still very relieved, but even if she didn't climb the bed, doing something real, it is enough to make people feel disgusted! So this kind of thing, it is better to prevent it before it happens!

Nie Jinxuan is always careful. But Shui Yun is not stupid, and after turning her brain slightly, she understood Nie Jinxuan's intention. Of course, for her own mental patient attribute husband, Shui Yun is also quite relieved. Sometimes, Shui Yun even doubts that she is the only one who can stand that mental patient surnamed Pei, and if someone takes over, she will be happy!

However, Shui Yun just thinks about it in her heart, or when she is fine, and when she is bickering with her husband in private, otherwise if this kind of thing really comes, she will absolutely be the first to pull out the soft sword at her waist and chop that fox spirit into dumpling stuffing!

Pei Master is married, the mental patient attribute has been temporarily suppressed, and the days have finally calmed down.

And this afternoon, Zhang Guifei, Concubine Li, and Princess Yun Chen Yan'er and others were sitting in the Yongle Palace courtyard, chatting, while pointing out the way of being a wife to Shui Yun, and how to hold the backyard in their hands, so that the sisters-in-law and concubines would not make things difficult. After all, the Pei family is a big family, just Pei's father Pei Baiwan's concubines have eighteen, and the legitimate and illegitimate sons are even more, so several women are always worried that Shui Yun will suffer in the Nie family, but listening to Shui Yun lowering her head and eyes, her pretty face is slightly red, but she is not good at saying that her own mouth is a mental patient, and she has not suffered in the court, so how can she be angry in her own home?!

To put it bluntly, the backyard fighting in a big family ultimately depends on whether the man has ability, and the other is to see whether this capable man cares about himself! If both are occupied, no matter how others play, it is all useless!

Compared with doing things, Shui Yun really doesn't know much about the backyard. But she understands this truth, but looking at Concubine Li's dancing and talking, Shui Yun has to listen!

But just at this time, just when everyone was talking hotly, suddenly there was a hurried footstep outside, and before the people in the courtyard came back to their senses, a familiar shouting sound came over.

"Jinxuan sister, I want to move!"

The voice was urgent and angry, the clear voice, but it startled everyone in the courtyard. Looking up, they found that the person who came was none other than Qionghua County Princess Jin Jingwen!

Jin Jingwen was the youngest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Jin Qi. Back then, Jin Qi was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and accidentally learned that Nie Wenhao was superficially clean and honest, but in fact, he was doing things like buying and selling officials, corruption and bribery, and colluding with parties privately. Jin Qi's personality was upright, and Nie Wenhao determined that Jin Qi would not be bought, so he took the lead and buckled the black pot of buying and selling officials on Jin Qi, making Jin Qi suffer an injustice!

Jin Qi was a first-rank official of the imperial court, and the Ministry of Revenue was the head of the six ministries, so when this matter came out, it shocked the court. And the late Emperor, in order to thoroughly investigate this case, sent Pei Yaoguang to be the main judge of this case!

Although Pei Yaoguang's temperament was eccentric, his brain was shrewd, his mind was delicate, his nature was upright, and he came from a giant wealthy family. Others just couldn't be bought, and the late Emperor naturally trusted him very much!

But Pei Yaoguang was still a bit young, only twenty-something back then, and that Nie Wenhao was old and cunning, with deep city government, and also made a move to abandon the car to protect the handsome, pushing out several subordinates, letting them bite that it was Jin Qi's work. Up to this point, both human and material evidence were present, Jin Qi could not argue, and successfully deceived Pei Yaoguang and the late Emperor!

The late Emperor was furious, and the vermilion pen hooked, and the Jin family was exterminated. At the critical moment, Nie Jinhui, who had a marriage contract with Jin family son Jin Jingyuan, used means privately, first stealing the beam and changing the pillar, saving Jin family eldest son Jin Jingxian's newborn son Jin Liangyu, and secretly sending him to a small temple twenty miles outside the capital to be fostered, and at the same time, during the exile, saved the Jin family's youngest daughter Jin Jingwen!

Afterward, fleeing to Tiancheng, Jin Jingwen met the Xuan Wang couple of Tiancheng by chance, and was accepted as an adopted daughter. Tiancheng's national lord Ye Wuyan heard the news and specially issued a decree to seal her as Qionghua County Princess!

Jin Jingwen gained a foothold in Tiancheng, but she was thinking about the injustice of the Jin family back then. Three years later, when Nie Jinhui was reporting the injustice for her fiancé Jin Jingyuan, she discovered many secrets behind the Jin Qi case back then. Therefore, Nie Jinhui changed her strategy, on the one hand, investigating the Jin Qi case back then, and when she expected that the person behind the scenes, also Nie Wenhao, would be unfavorable to her, she notified Jin Jingwen, who was far away in Tiancheng, in advance, and at the same time told her about Nie Jinxuan.

Later, Nie Jinhui was indeed killed by Xiao Xiu, the killer arranged by Nie Wenhao beside Nie Jinxuan. And after Nie Jinhui died, Jin Jingwen came to Dongling as the Tiancheng County Princess, and in a series of events afterward, secretly helped Nie Jinxuan avoid the crisis.

Therefore, three years ago, after Yin Fengzhan ascended the throne, he did not treat her badly. He reiterated that the culprit of the Jin Qi case back then was Nie Wenhao, and cleared the name for the Jin family. And clarified to the world that Qionghua County Princess was the Jin family lady back then, because it was an injustice, so she was exempted from the responsibility of escaping during the exile!

And for Jin Jingwen, although she fled to Tiancheng and became Tiancheng's County Princess by mistake, she was Dongling people after all, and even had the burden of supporting the Jin family in her bones! Therefore, ever since the truth came to light three years ago, and Yin Fengzhan restored her original identity, she stayed in Dongling, and at the same time picked up the only bloodline of the Jin family, the little nephew Jin Liangyu, who had been fostered in the temple outside the capital!

The once prominent Jin family now only had the aunt and nephew Jin Jingwen and Jin Liangyu left, staying in the capital, but they didn't even have a proper place to stay. And according to Jin Jingwen's meaning, she wanted to move back to the Jin family's original mansion, but not long after the Jin family had an accident and was raided, the Jin family's house was sold by the court. And the wealthy family who took over demolished the Jin family's house and built a restaurant on the original site!

It was a coincidence that the wealthy family took over the Jin family, and not long after the restaurant was built, they encountered robbers during a family trip, and the whole family, including eighteen people, plus several guards, were not able to escape!

So, thinking about this, it was likely that this matter was directed by Nie Wenhao from beginning to end. And the reason why he first let the wealthy family buy the Jin family's mansion from the court was nothing more than fearing that Jin Qi would hide things unfavorable to him in his home. Nie Wenhao couldn't find it, so he used the wealthy family's hand to completely demolish the Jin family's house, and then built a new one on it. In this way, even if Jin Qi really hid anything, it was wiped out!

Finally, Nie Wenhao killed the wealthy family, so all clues and traces were handled cleanly!

Nie Wenhao's old-fashioned calculation was not comparable to ordinary people. Finally, if it weren't for Yin Fengzhan's absolute force to completely crush it, it would not be easy to deal with Nie Wenhao!

However, no matter what, these things have passed. But Yin Fengzhan, considering the loyalty of the Jin family, and the fact that the late Emperor trusted the traitor back then, and Jin Jingwen saved Nie Jinxuan many times when he was not there, and used clever tricks to keep Nie Jinxuan's child, Yin Fengzhan didn't say anything, but he had a number in his heart, and then he didn't be vague, and directly issued a decree to choose a site in the capital to rebuild a mansion!

The matter was arranged for the Ministry of Works. But what does the Ministry of Works do? From building palaces for the imperial palace, to large and small civil engineering, water conservancy projects, and military equipment in the country, they are all responsible. So, for the Ministry of Works, building a mansion is absolutely a waste of talent! This matter, just find a construction team in the city, why use the Ministry of Works?!

But speaking of which, this matter must be the Ministry of Works. After all, Jin Qi was wrongly killed back then, and the court killed the wrong person! So now let the Ministry of Works come forward to rebuild the mansion for the Jin family, besides Yin Fengzhan treating Jin Jingwen well, there is also an explanation for the Jin family, letting the world see clearly that the court did something wrong back then, and now it is correcting the loyal and good! And those who mix in the court are all clear. Although the ability to do things may not be comparable to Pei Master, their brains are good. After turning slightly, they also knew the holy will, so after the matter was arranged, no one dared to talk nonsense!

Moreover, not only did they not dare to talk nonsense, but they also had to rack their brains to handle the matter well! One must know that although the Jin family now only has the aunt and nephew, Jin Jingwen is not easy to mess with. Because Jin Jingwen often enters the palace and has an extraordinary relationship with Empress Nie Jinxuan, and also has a good relationship with Zhang Guifei, so once she is offended, when this little girl enters the palace and says a word that the house is not built well, then... heh!

So, because of this concern, after the matter was handed down, the Ministry of Works went all out! Not to mention cutting corners, even if they paid out of their own pockets, they thought about how to

With this intention in mind, it would be difficult for the Jin family's new residence not to be good. After all this trouble, from selecting the site to starting construction, it took less than half a year to complete. However, by that time, Nie Jinxuan had already been in a coma for a period, and Jin Jingwen had no heart to manage the affairs of the residence, so she remained in the palace. It was not until Nie Jinxuan woke up a while ago and everyone breathed a sigh of relief that Jin Jingwen began to set about tidying up the residence, personally directing people to add furnishings and decorate the courtyards. Only when everything was prepared did she bring her little nephew, Jin Liangyu, back!

When the Jin family met with disaster, Jin Liangyu had only been born a few days prior. It was precisely because of this that Nie Jinhui was able to seize the opportunity to swap him out and save him! Now, in the blink of an eye, Jin Liangyu is already six years old. He has grown up fair and clean, and he looks very much like Jin Jingwen's eldest brother, Jin Jingxian.

The residence was finished, and Jin Liangyu was brought back. Afterward, Jin Jingwen specifically had someone choose an auspicious day to move in, and on that same day, she re-hung the Jin family plaque!

Everything was wonderful! At least, that was what Jin Jingwen thought at the beginning. Unfortunately, to Jin Jingwen's utter disbelief, just two days after moving into the new residence, she was almost driven to madness! And the reason was that the neighbor next door was simply too infuriating!

And this neighbor was none other than the brother who had worn the same pair of trousers as Yin Fengzhan since childhood, Nie Jinxuan's brother-in-law, and the only biological son of Noble Consort Zhang—

The current little tyrant of the capital, known as the Sixth Young Master of the dissolute, Prince Gong, Yin Fengxuan!

Damn it! Why is it him?!

This was Jin Jingwen's first reaction after learning about this! But even so, at the very beginning, Jin Jingwen only frowned. However, who would have thought that after just two days, the problem would be completely exposed!

It turned out that the people from the Ministry of Works had truly racked their brains to choose a good location for the Jin family. Finally, they selected a good spot: in the east of the city, in the noble district; it did not occupy a large area, but the location was excellent! And right next door was the Prince Gong Fu!

Being able to be neighbors with royalty, and a prince who had worn the same pair of trousers as Yin Fengzhan since childhood, was not something you could have just because you wanted it! Furthermore, Jin Jingwen moved frequently in royal circles and, as the sister of Empress Nie Jinxuan, also had a very good relationship with Noble Consort Zhang. Therefore, when the old fellows of the Ministry of Works put their heads together and saw the location, they immediately made the decision: this is the one!

The people from the Ministry of Works definitely had good intentions! But these old fellows forgot, what kind of person is Prince Gong, Yin Fengxuan? He is a profligate who is addicted to debauchery, having completely taken over the title of the Fifth Imperial Uncle from back in the day and carrying it forward even more! And in his residence, there are even more beautiful concubines gathered, and the place where they live most densely is the West Garden! And the Jin family happens to be on the west side of the Prince Gong Fu, separated from the West Garden by only a single wall!
