173. Public and private

Lu Jingwei was still roaring in front of him, Qiao Lezi pushed him away, and snatched back the sachet in his hand: "Lord Lu, I don't know when you Taichang Temple even have to care what kind of sachet the officials wear?"

"The surname is Qiao! Don't pretend to be confused with me here! Where did you get this sachet? Do you have the face to accept it but don't dare to admit it?!" Lu Jingwei waved his fist, and he couldn't wait to punch Qiao Lezi's face.

"I sent it. A voice suddenly interjected unhurriedly.

Lu Jingwei looked over with the sound, but saw that it was the seventh girl of Yan Zike's family, the one who played with Lu Lotus every day.

"You don't have to cover for Liuniang!" Lu Jingwei scolded Yan Qi, "I'm afraid that you usually pounce on her in your ears and do such a degrading thing! You and I are out of the way! Don't interact with Liuniang from now on!"

"Uncle Lu, you are very strange," Yan Qi was unmoved, and looked at Lu Jingwei lightly, "Obviously it has nothing to do with Xiao Lotus, but you have to take it on her, I have only seen people splashing dirty water on others, but I have never seen splashing dirty water on their own daughters." You keep saying that the little lotus root is corrupt and undisciplined, no matter whether the matter is justified or not, at least you have to go home and close the door to discuss it in detail, and you shout regardless of it, not only ruining the reputation of the little lotus, but also your own reputation. In addition, I will say again, this sachet is the little lotus Dragon Boat Festival to send me to ward off evil spirits, Ah Yue also has an identical one, because I already had other sachets on my body at that time, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha in front of the little lotus root and transferred it to Lord Qiao, at that time it was not only me, Xiao Lotus and A Yue were there, but the two sons of Lord Cui's family were also there, so it was not a private gift, not to mention that Lord Qiao was the prefect of Kyoto, the parents of the people, and the children of the children would honor their parents to ward off evil spirits, should they also be regarded as a corrupt thing?"

Yan Qi only slightly changed the situation that day, and changed the sachet that Lu Lotus gave to Qiao Lezi to pass through her hands, in fact, in front of so many people in public, it was not considered that Qiao Lezi was given by Lu Lotus himself, but Yan Qi didn't want to leave Lu Jingwei with any words to use to attack, and to deal with this kind of stupid person, he had to make him completely unable to find a reason.

The so-called confusion means that others can see the facts and think clearly, but he can't see clearly, he doesn't listen to others, and only thinks that he is the only one who understands the truth, this kind of person is Lu Jingwei.

"Don't fool the elders here again! How can you interject as a junior! You get out of the way with me!" Lu Jingwei angrily raised his hand to Lu Rong, "Liuniang, come over to me! Now that I dare to say this matter openly, I will dare to kill my relatives and clean up the door with righteousness! If you don't explain this matter to me clearly, you will be able to do good today!"

"Huh. ”

A cool laugh suddenly sounded behind Lu Jingwei.

"At the birthday banquet of Duke Xinguo, someone is here shouting and reprimanding my niece," the person who spoke slowly stepped forward from behind, the tail of his knife-like eyes was gently raised, and he stabbed Lu Jingwei in the face coldly, "Lord Lu, do you not take Duke Xinguo in your eyes, or do you think that my Yan family can be bullied at will?"

Lu Jingwei hugged Yan Zike unhappily: "Lord Yan is too careful, this is a family matter of Lu, and it has nothing to do with the Duke of Xinguo and your mansion." ”

"Your family affairs, not to solve them at home, but to dominate the Xinguo Mansion, is it possible that this place is also your Lu family's territory?" Yan Zike leaned forward slightly, looking at Lu Jingwei's face with curiosity, "I have only heard of 'the whole world is not the king's land', but I didn't know that Lord Lu You also have such ambition and courage, you can be divided anywhere and named with the surname Lu, which is really terrifying to think about." ”

Qiao Lezi was almost jumping up and applauding his snake spirit friend when he heard this—ruthless enough! If he grabbed the other party's words, he dared to deduct the king on his head and commit the crime of disobedience! As a righteous policeman with correct three views and good character, Qiao Lezi just wanted to say: Well done!

Lu Jingwei almost let out a mouthful of old blood: This is obviously a crime that he wants to add, and there is no excuse! Anyone can understand that he doesn't mean this, Yan Zike dares to reverse black and white to his face and fabricate charges against him!

"Yan Zike, don't deliberately distort my words and use the topic to play!" Lu Jingwei shouted angrily, "This is a private matter between my father and daughter and Qiao Lezi, and it has nothing to do with others, and others have no right to intervene!"

"Oh, your private affairs have nothing to do with me," Yan Zike said lightly, "I'm here to talk about business." Mistress Joe. ”

"Xia Guan is here. Qiao Lezi bowed and answered.

"Has the trial of Gao Qizhu's injury been concluded?" Yan Zike asked.

"It's not over yet. Qiao Lezi said. Although the murderer has been identified, the confession has not been officially recorded and filed by the culprit and witnesses, so naturally the case cannot be regarded as completely closed.

"Since the case has not been concluded, since it should be the most important thing to do with official affairs, it should be returned to the government as soon as possible, the court should be opened for interrogation, and the victim should be treated with justice, punish the stubborn, spread righteousness, and act on behalf of the Son of Heaven to understand justice, correct the law, shape the face of the sky, and promote the prestige of the heavens-procrastination and neglect, and the abolition of the public because of private affairs is a move that damages the dignity of the heavens, and those who vainly attempt to override the official affairs with private affairs should be punished with the combined crime of obstructing law enforcement and insulting the heavens-Lord Qiao, this official can lend you to enforce the law impartially. - A branch. ”

Yan Zike's voice fell, Yizhi was already standing beside him, Qiao Lezi was not lazy, and then pointed to Lu Jingwei: "Those who hinder law enforcement, take it!"

"You-" Lu Jingwei had just shouted two words angrily, and he had already cut off his arms and pointed at his body and couldn't speak.

"First take them to the government office for custody, and then return to the government for trial after the government has clearly explained the case to the people involved here and their families. Qiao Lezi gave a serious order, but he sighed in his heart: Lu Jingwei, you fool, who is not good for you to provoke Yan Zike?! Who is not good for you to provoke his niece! Have you seen it? You can go to prison in a few words, and you can't find fault at all with high-sounding words, and you can make a simple and neat statement, if you yell at his niece, he can make you squat in prison for three days!

"Send" Lu Jingwei away, Qiao Lezi turned around and looked at the poor Lu family girl again, seeing that she lowered her eyebrows and didn't say a word, she had the heart to walk away immediately, so that she couldn't see or be upset, but she felt that she had to come forward and say something to her in order to express her feelings.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the heart to bring the sachet from the girl to the banquet, this would not have happened today. The sachet to ward off evil spirits should have been removed after May, but he lazily couldn't think of replacing it, although there is nothing wrong with giving each other openly and openly in today's open world, but after all, he still can't stand the ill-intentioned person who just uses the topic to play and press you into the sewage.

"Ahem......" Qiao Lezi stepped forward, a little ashamed.

In order to avoid embarrassment for both of them, Yan Qi walked away to the side and talked to her uncle.

"Why are you here?"

"I met the girl of the martial family, and when I saw the fire on her face, I stopped and asked. ”

"What will Lu Jingwei do?"

"Spend the night in jail, a lot less?"

"I'm worried that he will go back and sprinkle his anger on the little lotus root. ”

"Why did he hit that kid?"

"I should have listened to the slander of the maid. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to explain it clearly?"

Lu Jingwei listened to the concubine and her biological mother Aunt Xu very much, and it is estimated that Xiao Lotus would not believe it when he explained. ”

"Oh, Lu Jingwei often beats that kid?"

Xiao Lotus didn't talk about it, but the mother and daughter didn't have a good time. ”

"I see, I'll leave this matter to me. ”

"Bothering you. ”

"Huh. ”

As he was talking, Qiao Lezi had already turned around and walked back, and he didn't know what to say to Lu Rong, and the sachet didn't hang on his waist anymore, so Yan Zike went forward with him.

Yan Qi walked to Lu Lotus's side, and saw that her face was as usual, only one side of her face was still swollen, and it was not appropriate to go to a crowded place, so he said to her: "Find a place to put on makeup to cover up, I'll go find someone to borrow gouache." ”

"No," Lu Rong smiled, "I'll go back to the carriage outside, anyway, there are many customers today, and no one will notice if I don't have one." ”

"You relax, you'll be fine. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong smiled: "It's you who should relax, I'll be fine, I'm not afraid of crooked shadows, aren't I?"

"Ah, I'm comforted by you. Yan Qi put his hand to his heart.

Lu Rong smiled and shook her head: "You go to find Ah Yue, don't let her mix Uncle Wu in again, tell her that I'm okay, if you don't worry, go to the carriage outside to find me." ”

"I'm back!" Wu Yue happened to run over from there, and the anger on his face was still there, "My dad drank too much again—huh? What about them? Xiao Qi, has your uncle been here?"

"I've been here, and I've taken everyone away. ”

Wu Yue pounced on the wound on Lu Rong's face, and when he saw it, he gritted his teeth with more and more anger, and said hatefully: "How can there be such a thing as a father beating his daughter!" and-"

"You can do it, I just was appeased by the little lotus, and you come again," Yan Qidao, "Let's send the little lotus to the carriage first." ”

Wu Yue stopped angrily, and the two of them accompanied Lu Lotus out of the gate of the Xinguo Mansion through the path with few people, found the Lu family's carriage, and sent her to the car.

Wu Yue asked Yan Qi what happened after she left, and finally waved her fist hatefully: "It must be Lu Lian's ghost! Otherwise, how would Lu Jingwei know that the sachet was embroidered by Xiao Lotus—— no! I want to find Lu Lian! I want to beat her up to vent my anger for Xiao Lotus!"

"If you go to beat her at this time, it will only give her more reasons to bully Xiao Lotus by her father's hand," Yan Qi said, "If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, we can go back to our house after beating her, but Xiao Lotus still has to enter the same door with her, and you haven't seen her father today." ”

"What should I do then?!Do you know that she is the ghost who made the trouble, and still have to endure it?!" Wu Yue said angrily.

"At least wait until Lotus has the ability to save herself and her mother. Yan Qidao, "We want to be angry for her, not to embarrass her." "Even if Lu Lotus is a face-to-face person, I am afraid that after this time, I will harden my heart.

“…… All right. Wu Yue gritted his teeth and reluctantly suppressed his anger, and was silent for a long time, "Sometimes I think about it, instead of spending so much time with that family, it is better for Xiao Lotus to marry someone earlier." ”

"When she gets married, her mother's family is also her mother's family, and she can't deny her father, not to mention," Yan Qidao, "A woman who puts all her hopes on a man is the most stupid, and no one is as strong as herself." ”

"You're right, I think the three of us don't want to get married, how about it?" Wu Yue grabbed Yan Qi, "The three of us live happily together for a lifetime, isn't it better than getting married?"

"Don't tell Uncle Wu that your idea was inspired by what I just said. Yan Qi hurriedly cleared up.

"Alas, it's better to be my father, only my mother is a woman, and treats our brothers and sisters equally, people say that literati are reasonable, and martial artists are vulgar, but what is worse than my father? Xiao Qi, your father is also very good, for so many years on the frontier, there is only one woman in your mother, your father is also a military general, you look at those literati, three wives and four concubines are not satisfied at every turn, such a comparison, it is still a military general, in the future, you will also marry a general, Xiao Lotus will also marry a general, we are all happy. ”

"Okay, I'll try. ”

Although there was such a small episode of Gao Qizhu's injury to the birthday banquet of the Xinguo Prince, but fortunately no one died, in order to avoid sweeping the prosperity of the Xinguo Mansion, this matter was deliberately passed by all parties after all, most of the guests left before the dinner began, and the guests who were closer to the Xinguo Mansion stayed and had dinner together before returning to their respective homes.

The hurtful Miss Ge Shuhua, because she is an official dependent, has a certain degree of immunity in this era of clear hierarchy, and she will not be allowed to go to prison, at most the two families will settle it privately, and the Ge family will pay a civil compensation, but Ge Shuhua can not escape the punishment within the clan, and he was imprisoned in the family temple to repent, and it will take about three or five years to be released, and this punishment is not light, and the Ge clan will report this decision to Qiao Lezi and the Gao family, and the matter is now over.

On the second day after Xinguogong's birthday, the academy held classes as usual, and Lu Lotus also came to the academy as usual, the swelling on his face had been reduced a lot, and then covered it with gouache, but he couldn't see it, but his eyes were full of bloodshots, and it was obvious that he hadn't slept all night.

When she came to class in the afternoon, Lu Rong pulled Yan Qi and told her a message: "My father went back to the house, and he brought a grandmother in the palace, saying that it was rewarded by the emperor, and the female officials who were originally taught in the palace behaved in a proper manner, and when they were old, they should have been released from the palace to return to their hometown to raise themselves, but this grandmother's hometown had no relatives, so the emperor asked my father to bring it back to the house to support this grandmother, and by the way, please ask this grandmother to be my parenting gentleman......"

Similar to this kind of dedicated upbringing, the palace will release a batch every year, as soon as they leave the palace, they will be robbed by those ambitious officials, because these grandmothers know the rules of the palace the most, and the daughters they teach are all first-class good behavior, which is better than what the gentlemen of the academy teach, and it is the mold of the palace concubine to get rid of it, even if the family does not have the ambition to let the daughter serve the king, it is also beneficial to invite such a grandmother who is very experienced in upbringing and general affairs to sit in charge of the daughter. When talking about kissing, if the man's family hears that the girl in this family is taught by the palace teacher, nine times out of ten, they will nod and agree.

Mrs. Yan also thought about inviting such a grandmother to the second girl Yan - she also had some ambitions for some things, but she was rejected by Yan Zike - in her position, whether in the court or at home, but any slightest disturbance is easy to attract criticism, even if she is a lonely minister, she can't just make herself a target for people to shoot, not to mention ...... Which king has been suspicious since ancient times?

This grandmother of Lu Rong's family is different from the grandmothers who are routinely released from the palace every year, this is rewarded by the emperor, just like those coffee positions hired by the official family themselves are not at the same level, even if Lu Jingwei can only respectfully let it, this grandmother is full of the aura of "imperial grace"!

Listening to Lu Rong say that this grandmother's surname is Jiang, as soon as she entered the mansion, she went directly to Mrs. Lu's courtyard, but she sorted out the affairs of the inner house in a few hours, and re-established a set of strict and meticulous rules.

Mama Jiang also told Lu Rong and her father: Jiang Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a distant nephew of my family, and now that I have come out of the palace, I have to visit every once in a while.

That is to say, if you Lu Jingwei favors his concubine and kills his wife, if you are not careful, you may be stabbed to the imperial history.

If the emperor rewards Mama Jiang in the house, Lu Jingwei wants to personally "teach" his daughter, but I am afraid that he will have to weigh it, the emperor has already rewarded the serious grandma who taught his daughter, if he dares to be rude to his daughter again, it is equivalent to not putting the emperor's reward in his eyes, not putting the emperor's reward in his eyes, isn't he not taking the emperor's grace in his eyes?

Oh, you want to take the opportunity to say that the emperor's reward is for teaching her daughter, and she has no right to meddle in the affairs of the inner house, then it would be a big mistake, teaching Mama Xi is responsible for teaching not only the behavior of the appearance, but also the housekeeping is also one of the important courses, Mrs. Lu announced on the spot that she would hand over the care of the feed to Lu Lotus to share, and in view of the fact that Lu Lotus is still studying in the academy, she will temporarily be taken care of by her upbringing grandmother, Lu Lotus represents Mrs. Lu, and raising Mama represents Lu Lotus, so raising Mama is equivalent to representing Mrs. Lu, the mistress of the inner house!

Don't forget, the concubine is also half a slave, and the concubine must obey the orders of the master's mother!
