Chapter 62: Don't Be a Quiet Beauty
"Aunt Qin, no, your aunt ran to the gate of the palace and knelt......"
What? Kneel at the gate of the palace?
Although Xiong Erlang's voice was no louder than the two mothers-in-law, but as soon as these words came out, the voices of the surrounding people suddenly quieted, because of the strangeness of the people in the inner circle, this temporary silence spread, and for a while, the noise and laughter stopped, and Xiong Erlang's voice spread clearly:
“…… Aunt Qin, go and take a look, your eldest lady is kneeling at the gate of the palace, and listening to the lively people, she has been kneeling for nearly an hour!"
The door of the Qin family opened with a hula, and the Qin family pounced out, holding on to the door frame, and asked in a frightened and anxious manner, "What you said is true?"
"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes! My eldest brother told me to come back and tell my aunt quickly! I heard from the lively people that your eldest mother was forced to be a concubine because she was slandered, and begged the county lord to avenge her......
Suddenly, thousands of eyes gathered on the two mothers-in-law of the Yang Mansion, and those eyes were full of inexplicable taste.
The two mothers-in-law were originally shaking a small pink embroidered dress and an embroidered silk handkerchief in their hands, and they whispered to the few aunts who were gathered around them about what the little lady of the Qin family and her son-in-law had to say about each other, and at this time they stiffly maintained this posture because of shock.
In a moment, the head reacted quickly, and couldn't help shouting: "Who came to take a concubine to pick up people, and they still carried this kind of thing?"
"That's it!
"The little lady of the Qin family is only afraid that she is really wronged, otherwise how dare she go to the gate of the palace to ask the county lord for revenge?"
“……”
Everyone, you and I analyzed the unreasonableness of this matter sentence by sentence, completely forgetting that they were still echoing the two mothers-in-law just now, despising the Qin family's selling women for glory and Qin Nuan's prodigal shamelessness......
The change in the direction of public opinion did not make the Qin family relaxed, but fell into a deeper fear: Qin Nuan's method can certainly clear his reputation, but he will lose his life!
"Gardenia, hurry, hurry, hurry up and prepare the car, let's go to the palace......" Qin's voice trembled.
The people of the Qin family here hurried out of the way, although there were piles of people gathered at the door, and everyone spontaneously got out of the way......
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two mothers-in-law exchanged glances with each other and reached a consensus: Let's go back and report the results to the master!
So he beckoned to the two little men who carried the sedan chair: quickly got up and left-
At this moment, there was movement at the mouth of the alley again, and the crowd was like a wave, automatically separating to both sides and sticking to the roots of the walls on both sides of the bluestone road.
Three guards on horses appeared in sight, with the same black head, black soft armor, black boots, soft armor inlaid with shining silver nails, a horizontal knife on the waist, a fat horse under the crotch, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, tall and straight.
Such a majestic and highly ornamental iconic costume, Yangzhou people know at a glance that they are the guards of the palace of Guangling County.
His Royal Highness King Wu in the past and the current county lord and lady both like beautiful people and beautiful things.
The people of Yangzhou don't know anything else, but the guards of the palace always show their faces when they travel in various palaces and go out on business trips, everyone has seen a lot, and after so many years, they have not found a person who is not tall enough and his facial features are not handsome enough!
The three knights quickly came to the two mothers-in-law and two little servants of the Yang Mansion, condescending to look at the four people, and a knight with a beautiful little beard at the head asked, "You are the slaves and maids in the second house of the Yang family, right?"
The two mothers-in-law hurriedly bent down and saluted, saying yes.
"The county lord ordered me to wait to find someone to witness, since I happened to meet it, come with us!"
The two women glanced at each other, but they had to obey obediently, following behind the three knights, and the two little maids followed the two mothers-in-law in the opposite way when they came.
The knight in front seemed to remember something, and glanced back at the two mothers-in-law, "There is still physical evidence, take it, if it is lost on the road, then your hands are useless!"
The two mothers-in-law had already put the so-called "love token" into their sleeves, and they were thinking that if they had to go to the palace to record a confession, they would not throw things away on the road, this thing was fake after all, once it was found and used to testify, it would be to prove that their master was harmful, but they didn't expect to be called broken!
The two mothers-in-law shuddered, and suddenly lost their thoughts. It is always bearable to be beaten or sold, and if your hand is gone, as a slave, life is worse than death.
After a group of neighbors silently leaned against the wall to watch these people leave, they whispered enthusiastically, and then many people spontaneously followed from a distance and ran to the gate of the palace to watch the excitement.
Although that place, ordinary people are usually not allowed to go, and there is nothing to hang out or look at at the gate of the palace, the cliff will be scolded and even whipped by the guards guarding the gate.
But didn't I hear what Xiong Jiaerlang said just now, Qin Nuan was kneeling there, and there were many people watching the excitement, it seemed that there was no danger, and it was rare to encounter such a lively scene once in many years!
-
Qin Nuan ran to the gate of the palace with Jasmine early in the morning, and knelt in the open space in front of the gate of the king of Guangling County.
Qin Nuan doesn't like to kneel for people, she doesn't like to follow this custom in the countryside.
Qin Nuan has not knelt to outsiders since she came to this world, except for her father, but fortunately, this county lord, according to blood relationship, can be regarded as her cousin.
Now Qin Nuan has learned from the pain, because he does not actively participate in this society, looks down on other people's camps, and indulges in his own peaceful and comfortable little life, so that when the matter comes, if others do not go well, they want to bully themselves like crushing a little ant to death.
Qin Nuan knew that this was a big gamble, and she bet that the county lord would be willing to clean up the old Song family of the sheep family on this ground, of course, if she lost the bet, she would be beaten half to death and driven home.
She vows never to be a quiet beautiful girl again!
After Qin took Jasmine Nuan to kneel down in the open space in front of the gate of the palace, he knew that he had made the right bet!
No one paid attention to them, no one drove them away!
Qin Nuan took a deep breath, and loudly forced the Yang family to marry, so he slandered her for fornicating with the Yang family, falsified evidence, and forced her to be a concubine in the most concise and clear language, and begged the county lord to administer justice for her.
After speaking, Qin Nuan also expressed his intentions: "From now on, the little girl is willing to become a monk and pray for the blessing of the county lord, and may the county lord be eternal and blessed!"
The girl's crisp and loud voice sounded in front of the quiet palace gate and spread far away.
When Qin Nuan's master and servant knelt down, there were people paying attention from afar, and as soon as the words came out at this time, they immediately attracted more people to stop and watch from afar.
After about a cup of tea, more people gathered, and Qin Nuan raised his voice again to repeat what he had just said.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and more people came when they heard the news, and they didn't dare to approach, so they gathered in a big circle from afar, and talked in low voices.
Although Qin Nuan was kneeling with her head bowed with her hat on, the surrounding scene was secretly observed, and she understood why the county lord ignored the matter in front of her own gate.
Jasmine couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Auntie, is the county lord not at home?"
Qin Nuan sighed and said: "Even if the county lord is not at home, there are many people in charge of the palace in the palace, and someone will take care of the slightest movement at the gate!
Jasmine cried urgently: "Ah, the county lord doesn't care, what should I do then!"
