95. Cleaning
Hongyun followed the prince into the palace, Daiyu was fine, so she prepared Baoshan's dowry, four horses, a pair of silver heads, and fifty taels of silver. Compared with her own maid, there are naturally not many things, but for a maid who betrayed her, it was all on the face of the eldest brother, cooking for her, and helping her make a face at her in-law's house.
Naturally, it is better to tell Fujin about this matter, and Daiyu took the list to ask Zhao Jia's family to say goodbye.
"The two of them stayed in Zhuangzi?" Zhao Jia asked knowingly.
"Yes, the eldest brother said that when Bao Shan is old, there is a suitable one in the Zhuangzi, so he made the decision for her. Baoxin's girl got the fate of an old couple and accepted her as a goddaughter. The deed of sale has been returned to them, and they will not be slaves in the future, for the sake of their service to the eldest brother, the dowry still has to be prepared. β
"Oh, there are so many subordinates in the palace who are not suitable, but there is a suitable one in the Zhuangzi." Zhao Jia's family knew that Shanxi had a fiancΓ© yesterday, and she consciously held her breath, and when Daiyu jumped up at this time, she naturally wouldn't let it go gently.
"It's the daughter-in-law, it's not arranged in advance, but I asked the eldest brother to come back and worry about it." Daiyu simply admitted her mistake, this is not a big deal, and she can punish her daughter-in-law for a subordinate, so what kind of person has she Zhaojia become.
Zhao Jiashi didn't expect her to bear it with all her might, but told her to keep the words behind her mouth and couldn't say it.
"Who are you arranging to serve the eldest brother to sleep now?" Zhao Jiashi simply tore off the veil and directly intervened in the affairs of his daughter-in-law's house. She also has her own reasons, her daughter-in-law has a body and can no longer serve the eldest brother, and it is also her duty to be a daughter-in-law to arrange the people to serve the eldest brother.
"There is Aunt Yue in the backyard, and the daughter-in-law persuades the eldest brother to rest every day. But as you know, Big Brother has never liked to listen to women. "Daiyu is lying openly, but the eldest brother will not demolish her, so she has no fear.
Zhao Jiashi was extremely suspicious that he didn't like to listen to the woman's words, he was referring to Sang scolding Huai, but he was powerless to refute it, and he blocked his throat in one breath, choking and spitting out, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Then what about the girl next to you, I think the one named Bai Lu is good, you ...... "Since it is a wedding maid, isn't it for the eldest brother, Zhaojia's family is right.
"Eniang, the maids around me will all marry in the future, be the head husband and wife, and be the grandmother of the house. Auntie such a despicable thing, I am reluctant to do it, if Eniang has a suitable candidate, as long as it is not the maid next to the daughter-in-law, you can let the eldest brother accept it, and the daughter-in-law will never object. β
Daiyu really can't understand Zhaojia's entanglement and persistence, isn't the eldest brother doing well now, no one cares about and no one takes care of him? Is it because she didn't do her duty as a wife and a daughter-in-law? Why, she must stuff her son with a few concubines according to her own will, does this mean that her son is doing well?
Or does this mean that she can still firmly control her son, even if her son gets married, has a wife, and has children, he is still a marionette in her hand, and he does exactly what she wants.
"You are still reasonable, forcing Hongyun to marry the used girl to the Zhuang family, forcing Hongyun not to get close to Aunt Yue, you are like this as a daughter-in-law, and you dare to say that you are not wrong." Zhao Jia's was provoked one after another, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and gushed out in one breath.
"What kind of girl did he use, who did he use, when did it happen, why didn't his daughter-in-law know?" Dai Yuyu stood up, her eyes widened, and she looked suspicious.
Zhao Jiashi regretted that she couldn't control her mouth, if this girl didn't get married, she would definitely take justice and bring people back. But she is already married to Zhuang Han, and she is not good at mentioning this matter again, otherwise what has happened to Hongyun, wouldn't it be as good as being a gentleman in the city.
But the words had already come out of his mouth, and he couldn't take them back, so he said stubbornly: "You don't know what outsiders know, I said that my son has no one to serve, and you still argue." If you are so good at serving, where will this happen? β
"The daughter-in-law really doesn't know, but since I know it today, I have to find out about it, otherwise the daughter-in-law has a reputation of being jealous, so why should the eldest brother have a reputation for being mean and fearful."
Zhao Jiashi didn't expect that in the end, it was her daughter-in-law who refused, so she had to find out what happened. She said hatefully: "That's it, I don't care about your business anymore." β
As soon as Daiyu left, it spread in the house that day, and the eldest brother took Bao Shan in Zhuangzi, but because he was afraid of Nei, he married Bao Shan to Zhuang Han, and sent Bao Xin, who knew the inside story, to others as a goddaughter. All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors boiled, and when Zhaojia's family knew, it had been spread all over the country, and she was so angry that she almost turned her back on it.
"Check me, who is spreading the news, who is it, who is it." The last two words are already tearing.
"Could it be ......," Mama Yan said with some doubts.
"It can't be her." Zhao Jia's immediately denied.
Mama Yan stepped back and picked Xinlan as her helper. Xinlan asked cautiously, "Who are Mama and Fujin talking about just now?" β
Mama Yan glanced at Xinlan, and Xinlan immediately lowered her head, knowing in her heart. There are still questions, "Why can't it be the eldest young grandmother, this matter only spread after Fu Jin told the young grandmother." β
"This matter is related to the reputation of the eldest brother, no matter how bad the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are, it is impossible to hurt the eldest brother. And the timing is so coincidental, I'm afraid it was premeditated a long time ago. As soon as Mama Yan said, Xinlan immediately realized.
"Then where are we going to start?"
"Grab a thread and pull the radishes one by one, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pull them out?" Yan Mama sneered, Fujin has been a housekeeper for many years, and his temperament is becoming more and more gentle and introverted, it seems that these people have been comfortable for too long, and they want to try whether their skin is thick enough.
Xinlan nodded, knowing that Mama Yan was deliberately letting herself see, as the eldest girl in front of the Zhaojia clan, she had been promoted since Qinglan got married. This is to take her to Liwei, and to support Zhaojia's in the future.
"Thank you, Mama Yan." Xinlan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so she quickly thanked her.
Daiyu shook her fan in the room, "Who is spreading the rumors, are you sure it's her?" β
Xingguo pouted, "It's not her, who else, as soon as she came back, she didn't say hello to the young grandmother, so she slipped into the Fujin house to tell the truth." β
"Can't she ask Fujin for peace, she must be a whistleblower." Bai Lu teased her.
"How is it possible, what is she, she wants to ask Fu Jin for peace, and Fu Jin wants to see her? Didn't you sue, Fujin met her? Xingguo's mouth was curled, let's talk energetically.
"Fujin has already sent someone to investigate, so let's not interfere." Daiyu saw them joking, and the anger in her heart was slightly relieved.
"What if Mama Yan can't find out, or covers her?" Xingguo was the first to be in a hurry.
"Cover her, her face is bigger than Brother's face, don't think about it, Big Brother is a reverse scale, no one can touch it, whoever touches it will die." Daiyu shook her head, not allowing them to interfere, saving them from interfering, which made Mama Yan think too much, but instead helped the real prisoner.
"Yes." White dew and apricot fruit both responded.
In the afternoon, the sound of the boards in the palace was endless, dozens of people were driven out of the palace, dozens of people were punished lightly or severely, the worst was twenty or thirty boards, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the light punishment was one or two months, and the loss of silver.
The subordinates of the entire palace were suddenly silent, and no one dared to talk about it at will. Between the eyes drifting, there was a trembling chill.
"Grandma, what should I do, what should I do?" Aunt Yue sat in the room, kneeling at her feet were two little girls, since she had the freedom to come and go, she replaced the girls given to her by the young grandmother with these two who were loyal to her.
She is obviously only one step away from success, just one step, why did she end up like this. When did she become what she is now?
In the original big brother courtyard, Qionghua and below were headed by her. Big and small things are in the hands, the mother-in-law and the girl are flattering, guarding a small courtyard, no matter how strong the wind and rain outside, they can't blow in at all. The life was comfortable and joyful, she once thought that she could be so happy for the rest of her life.
But she was wrong, she thought that if she spread a little gossip and pointed out that the eldest brother was afraid of guilt, Fujin would naturally be furious, and the eldest young grandmother would also restrain herself. But I didn't expect that the gossip spread more and more, far beyond what she meant. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't do it anymore.
When the first person to be punished was kicked out of the house, she knew she was finished. She stepped on Fujin's bottom line and touched the untouchable scales.
Fu Jin is not a ruthless person, but if she really annoys her, she will never give people a chance to plead. Her attitude is that if she is disloyal once, she will not use it a hundred times, and she will directly drive people out of the house, which means that there is no need to defend this matter, and she has already convicted the person who spread the rumors in her heart, a big crime.
"Go and report me, there's no chance of life." Aunt Yue looked at the two girls indifferently, and smiled bitterly in her heart, this is the dying of people, and her words are also good.
"Grandma." The two girls looked at each other in horror, where could they believe it, only if she was testing them.
"I mean, really, if you don't go, you won't have a chance."
The two maids helped each other to stand up, took a few steps back, and saw that Aunt Yue didn't move, and didn't even lift her eyelids, and took a few steps back. When I got out of the yard, I ran straight away.
When Mama Yan arrived with someone, Aunt Yue changed into the clothes she wore when she was a maid, knelt straight in the middle of the room, and when she saw someone coming, she moved the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Slaves deserve death." Leaned down deeply, not daring to look up again.
"Drag it away." Xinlan snorted coldly, and immediately two rough envoys stepped forward to gag her mouth and dragged her away like a dead dog.
Xingguo watched from a distance across her yard, and went back to tell the young grandmother.
"It's been taken away." She also said that it was her own girl who went to sue her.
"She ......" Daiyu sighed, Aunt Yue finally let the two girls live, but it was not broken to the bones. But the thing that splashed the big brother's body with dirty water is too disgusting.
"After all, she is also from a maid." Bai Lu sighed in the end, obviously he has a good future, why take this step. At the beginning, the young grandmother persuaded her, and she really thought that the young grandmother was okay to bluff her into playing, which was ridiculous.
"It's not over yet." Daiyu snorted coldly, the dirty water on the eldest brother's body is easy to splash, but it is difficult to take it back.
This loss, the eldest brother is afraid that he will be decided. Everyone knows that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. It's just that the chaos is set right, the reputation of bad things is out, and who doesn't care what the truth of your matter is.
Zhao Jiashi didn't entangle with her too much, knowing that it was her gossip, he threw it directly to the firewood room, "Beat twenty boards, close them for a few days, and then sell them." β
"Yes." No one dares to object, twenty boards may not survive, and if they die, they will even be saved.
"Although this Baoyue is the culprit, if Daiyu hadn't deceived people too much, there would not have been such a thing." When Zhao Jia's thought of the stigma on his son's body, he felt panicked. If it weren't for the fact that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, where would she let it go so gently.
Hongyun knew that Aunt Yue was arrested, but sighed, "It's good, and she has no less food and clothing, why bother?" β
"You are worried about the past feelings, it is you who have affection, she does not remember affection, it is her unrighteousness. Her fate is to blame, it's just the dirty water she splashed on you, if you don't clean it up, what kind of person have I become, and what kind of person have you become. β
Hongyun hurriedly helped her sit down, and stuffed a pillow behind her waist, "People want to slander you, are you afraid that you won't have anything to say?" Those who are clear are self-purifying, what does it matter. β
Men's ideas are always different from women's. The man looks at the pattern of the world, the changes in the court, and the emperor's mind. To deal with such a little bug-like character, either you don't have the same knowledge as you, or you just trample one foot to death, what kind of heart and eye, redundant.
"But what she said has a nose and eyes, I don't believe it, but E-Niang believes it, and everyone in the whole house believes it." Daiyu sneered, touching her slightly bulging belly, and finally couldn't calm down.
"Why would you believe me?" Hongyun put his face up, and a wave of heat rushed to his face, and Daiyu quickly pushed him away, "Because you said you didn't do it." β
"Just because I said you'd believe it?"
"Yes, you say it, and I believe it." Daiyu looked at him, and Hongyun's gaze met in the air, and there was endless lingering meaning in his eyes.
"Ama said, in a few days, I will hand over the fold I asked for the title of the prince." Suddenly, the topic changed, which made Daiyu a little unable to react.
"You're saying someone is going to make a fuss about it?"
"Don't worry." Hongyun touched Daiyu's belly, through the thin fabric, Daiyu could feel the calluses on his palms, rough palms, with a kind of careful gentleness, at this moment, let Daiyu really feel the stability of the present world, the years are quiet.
"Someone once said that there is no stability in this world, but someone carries the weight for you. I'm with you, okay. β
The corners of Hongyun's mouth curled, "It's just that you and the child are not my burden, without you, what's the point of moving forward." β
"There's only so much I can share for you, unless, you dislike it."
"Then thank you for being a husband." Hongyunxiao's eyes were bent into Yue Ya'er, "Such a capable lady, you say, how can you be a husband." β
"Maybe in the last life, together we saved the planet." Daiyu's voice was extremely small, and when Hongyun turned his head, Daiyu had already changed his words, "So, you have to cherish your blessings and not squander them at all." β
Prince Yi did not return to the house for several days, and when he returned to the house, Zhao Jia's family called a family and accompanied him to dinner. Because of Gao Wei's arrival, the father and daughter of the Shan family insisted on refusing to live in the palace anymore, so Hongyun gave them a house, which was very close to the Xue family. This time, the mountain boss finally accepted it, and the family was discussing whether to stay in Jinling or return to his hometown.
So, there were no more people from the Shan family at the family banquet, and others didn't feel it, and a few side Fujin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and there were some words that they could finally speak.
Prince Yi unexpectedly proposed the matter of folding tomorrow, "Hongyun is a grandson and a long, and he has become a parent, he is an adult, and the king of tomorrow will fold up, please seal the prince." β
He dared to say it so loudly, also because this matter had already been communicated with the emperor, and he could approve it if he handed it over, which was confident.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to Fujin, congratulations to the eldest brother, congratulations to the young grandmother." All of a sudden, the voices of congratulations continued, each more sincere than the other.
"Sister, congratulations to my sister, this is also a big event that the whole family is looking forward to, but you can't be sloppy. The people in the Zhuangzi can end up with a good life, and it is always bad to ask people to catch and sue in front of the saints. "The biological mother of the fourth elder brother, the Wu family of Shufujin, is the most timid and afraid of things on weekdays, but at this time, she came over with a kind face, which was really unexpected.
Zhao Jia's face changed at that time, and he glared at her viciously, and before he could say anything, the prince had already heard something strange, "What's the matter, this is?" β
Prince Yi has always been pitiful and cherished jade, and he likes Wu's soft tone. At this time, the eyes are full of water, as if there is water, how can a beauty not be pitied.
"It's the concubine who is ignorant and makes my sister angry, and my sister is actually really good for the eldest brother." Wu's head was lowered, and a beautiful neckline fell into Prince Yi's eyes, and he suddenly couldn't pull it out.
The people at the table heard it, but no one dared to say anything at this time. Daiyu laughed, "Shu Fujin said that it was good for the eldest brother, why did I, who was my wife, not know what the eldest brother had done, and who else did I need to take care of in Zhuangzi?" What's the matter, did the big brother kill someone or set the fire, what do you need to hide? β
"In front of the prince, don't say it again." Fucha smiled and quietly set a fire.
"What the hell is going on?" The prince withdrew his infatuated gaze and slowly became clear. The women at the table all snorted coldly in their hearts, and sure enough, when it came to the eldest brother, they were completely different people.
"Yes, the daughter-in-law also wants to know?"
"Shut up." Zhao Jiashi glanced at Daiyu and thought, he still looks like he is generally knowledgeable on weekdays, how can he meet the big brother, as if he has changed as if he has changed his mind.
In the big family, the mother-in-law reprimands the daughter-in-law, and it is very rare to open her mouth in front of everyone, not to mention the face of the daughter-in-law, and there is no good image of the mother-in-law.
Prince Yi's face sank, "It seems that there is really something going on, everyone knows about it, and only one of them is hiding it from me." β
"Don't dare." Everyone stood up as early as when the prince got up, and at this time they all squatted down to give blessings, bowing their heads and not daring to look at him more.
"Who's going to say." Prince Yi's eyes swept away, everyone's heads were lowered, and he said in front of Fujin Big Brother, how stupid it is to jump out. Just now, Wu could still say that he had inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth, but at this time, it was really intentional.
"I'll tell you." Zhao Jia's family is helpless, this matter can only be said by himself, it is better. Simply say the thing, and downplay it.
"It's just a maid who climbs the bed, and it's a big deal. This kind of person who dares to climb into bed without listening to the arrangement of the housewife is placed in the palace, and he is directly beaten to death, and no one says a word. "The more Zhao Jiashi said, the more reasonable he felt, that is, he climbed into bed to seduce the master, what is going on, it is not enough to kill him.
"Is it true?" Prince Yi looked at Daiyu, but instead of looking at his son.
"It's not true, the daughter-in-law doesn't believe that the eldest brother will do such a thing." Daiyu raised her head and looked at the prince with a clear gaze, her eyes showing stubbornness.
"You ......" Zhao Jiashi saw that the matter had been settled by her, and her daughter-in-law was about to provoke it again, so she couldn't help but be really anxious.
"The person has been called from the Zhuangzi by his daughter-in-law, so the prince might as well listen to what she has to say." Daiyu didn't seem to hear what Zhao Jiashi said at all, and said stubbornly.
"Okay, bring it on." The prince opened his mouth, and Bao Shan was immediately brought up, she was dressed as a peasant woman, because she was newly married, and the clothes were very bright.
knelt in front of the prince and was about to speak, Prince Yi preemptively said: "Stand up and speak, you are no longer the slave of our palace, ordinary people, just kneel and ask for peace, there is no need to kneel and reply." β
"Yes." Bao Shan knew the temperament of the prince, and she was not hypocritical, so she stood up. Look at Daiyu, and look at the eldest brother, the days in the palace are like a dream, I can't tell if it's a dream or a nightmare, in short, her dream has woken up.
The slave maid sent the sour radish duck soup boiled by Aunt Yue to the eldest brother that night, but the eldest brother said that he had made an appointment with Shan Lao to play chess against the moon, so that the slave and maid could water the soup. Slave maid, slave maid saw that there was a lot of soup, so she invited Baoxin and the big cow on duty at the door to water the soup. β
Bao Shan said it fluently, but when she said this, she was a little choked, "Who would have thought that when the soup was in the stomach, everyone began to feel dizzy, hot and dry." The slave and maid knew that they were not in love, so they asked Baoxin, who had little food, to go outside to find someone. I never thought that before Baoxin came back, the medicinal power of the slave and the big cow attacked. We, we ......"
Bao Shan cried whining, Hongyun couldn't bear it, "Ama, what happened later, my son will tell me." Bao Xin fainted outside, and was found in the middle of the night and helped back to the house. The son came back from playing chess with the mountain elder, and when he saw such a situation, it stands to reason that this girl can't live, and the big cow should also be punished. But after all, she has served her son for so many years, and it is understandable because of the problem of soup. After asking, Da Niu did not get married, so he married Bao Shan. didn't take Bao Shan and Bao Xin back to the palace, but directly sent it to Zhuangzi, just didn't want this kind of thing to dirty Ama and Eniang's ears. β
"Although Da Niu is a farmer, he is not a slave, if he really asks him to marry a girl who has been ruined, can he be willing? If anyone does not believe it, let people ask Zhuangzi if the big bull is happy and gone, and he will know whether this is true or false. Daiyu coldly glanced at the crowd, and everyone was silent.
"Drugged, who, who dares to drugged my son." Zhao Jia's first reaction after hearing it was like this.
"Who else can there be, it can't be the Wulan and Shan families, and it's not the aunt you forced to give to your son and reluctantly accepted it." Prince Yi thinks more than anyone else, not to mention the matter itself, what is the matter with the aunt who drugged and harmed the master. didn't mention it, what did it mean when this matter was exposed when he was about to invite Feng Shizi.
He thought more about what happened to Hongyun, and Daiyu chose to believe him and clean the dirty water off his body for him. And although Zhaojia's family, like Daiyu, tried her best to protect Hongyun, as a mother, she didn't even ask her son in person, so she believed what others said.
