Chapter 268: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes

As soon as Emperor Shunjing's holy decree came, the Ministry of Rites began to Zhang Luo Qin Ruwei's recognition of his ancestors and canonization, worshiped the ancestral hall, and took over the jade plate representing the identity from the royal family, Qin Ruwei's identity was officially decided, and from then on, she was the niece of Emperor Shunjing, the lord of Minghui.

Although Qin Ruwei is the daughter of the princess, Qin Ruwei also has half of the blood of the Wei family, and the case of the loyal and brave general who was slandered as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has been rehabilitated, but the Wei family's lineage has all been beheaded, and only Qin Ruwei is the only one left, and when Qin Ruwei did not recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, when the Wei family was rehabilitated, it was inherited by the partial branches, that is, the current head of the family Wei Zheng.

If all the descendants are dead, it is understandable that the ancestral hall will be inherited by the partial branches, but now Wei Wei, the descendant of the loyal and brave general, that is, Qin Ruwei, is still alive, and she is the only descendant bloodline, so the Wei family should be inherited by her.

"After the general's case was rehabilitated, my father had already returned the Wei family's mansion and some of their property, and now the Wei family's mansion is where the Wei Zheng family lives. After your father's case was rehabilitated, his father was gracious, and Wei Zheng was initially given the title of the fourth grade of the country's sacrificial wine, but last Qiuyu somehow made a mistake and angered his father, so he demoted him to one level, and now he is only the fifth grade of the Ministry of Works. Princess Ren told Qin Ruwei the news she had received, and said, "That house, when will you go over and have a look?" ”

Qin Ruwei frowned, thought for a while, and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I want to go to pay tribute to my father and mother before planning these matters." ”

Princess Ren was stunned, patted her hand and said, "Look at me, I wasn't as thoughtful as you thought, I thought about such mundane things first." Now that you have recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, you should go first to pay tribute to the eldest princess and the concubine. ”

Qin Ruwei hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect it, but I was afraid that I would be uncomfortable." ”

Princess Ren ironed in her heart, Qin Ruwei will come to things, it will not be embarrassing, and her smile is more real at the moment, and she said: "Then prepare quickly, they are looking forward to seeing you when they come!" ”

Qin Ruwei snorted, feeling a little inexplicable, unable to say what it felt.

The mausoleum of the eldest princess and the loyal and brave general is in Zhongling Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are people who take care of it every year, and after the old case was rehabilitated last year, Emperor Shunjing ordered the mausoleum to be renovated again.

Because Zhong Lingshan is also not far from the imperial tomb, and it is the joint tomb of the eldest princess and her husband, it is also heavily guarded by heavy soldiers in case someone comes to rob the tomb and disturb the peace of the eldest princess.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a small Zhuang temple, Qin Ruwei and his party went to put down their bags, rested for half a cup of tea, and then picked up again and went to pay respects.

Minghui County mainly pays tribute to his biological parents, which naturally notified the tomb keeper early, and personally came to lead him to the tomb.

In front of you, there is a new tomb that has been clearly repaired, which is very spectacular, and the stone slab used to engrave the tombstone is marble, on which are carved with gold dust the titles of the eldest princess and the loyal and brave general, and on the other side are full of their life deeds.

Qin Ruwei's eyes were red, she stepped forward and knelt down, her slender jade hand touched the name of the title, her heart was sour, her eyes were hot in vain, and tears the size of beans fell.

"Father, mother, the unfilial daughter has come to see you." The corners of her mouth hooked, tears crawled all over her face, and said, "Daughter, it's too late." ”

When Mama Gong saw it, she knelt on the ground, and cried out crying, saying that she was not good, saying that she had lived up to her expectations and found the county lord.

When everyone saw it, their eyes were red.

After crying, Qin Ruwei began to pay tribute, personally took a cloth to wipe the dust on the tombstone, and personally removed the grass, incense, and wine and food, although there were also girls and little girls to help, but this scene fell in the eyes of the people who accompanied her, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly, in the end, it was her own daughter, and this filial piety was not fake.

And this scene was transmitted to the ears of Emperor Shunjing, and he also praised it rarely: "It's not in vain for her mother to protect her." "This praise, the reward is sent to the Nioh's Mansion like flowing water, and I don't know whether it is compensation or comfort.

Qin Ruwei stayed at the mausoleum for three days, and every day she went up to sit in front of the grave of the eldest princess and the concubine, and she sat for a day, talking about her life over the years.

Three days later, Qin Ruwei returned to Beijing, and when she learned that the emperor had rewarded a lot of things, she just looked faint, in her opinion, nothing is better than people, people are gone, what is the use of this reward?

However, she just said this in her heart, and on the surface, she still had to be grateful to Dade for thanking God.

"The reward is secondary, but the palace people who serve are the most important." Princess Ren said with a smile, and glanced at Mama Fan.

Mama Fan smiled, but in a moment, she led a dozen or so people to the courtyard, all of them were beautiful and beautiful, and they were very pleasing to the eye.

"This is ......" Qin Ruwei was a little confused.

But the palace grandmother smiled and said: "The royal county lord, there are very few people who serve here, I didn't say it before, and the identity of the county lord has not been returned, but at this time and then, since you have now recovered your identity as the county lord, this person who serves must be fully equipped." ”

Qin Ruwei's scalp was numb, and her head was buzzing when she looked at the people in the courtyard.

Isn't it, from now on, she will have to follow such a large group of people around her, and she will have to support so many people?

"These are all palace people sent by the emperor to serve, I have also carefully picked, sister, you pick again, if there is anything you don't like, let's change it again." Princess Ren said with a smile, and said to those individuals: "You haven't seen Lord Minghui yet?" ”

"The slave has seen Lord Minghui." The sound of warblers and swallows sounded in unison, like the sound of heaven.

There are eight palace people rewarded by the emperor, and the housekeeper only added two because of the palace grandmother's personal service, and the rest of the errand boys are four.

Qin Ruwei didn't have anything to worry about Princess Ren, and if these people committed something in the future, they would sell it directly.

No, Qin Ruwei shouted, Mama Gong was already ready, let Yang Liu and the others send the purse one by one, which was full of two taels of silver, at the moment, the people who took the purse were all smiling, Qin Ruwei's face remained unchanged, but her heart was a little twitching, two taels per person, I don't know if my idea is enough to see!

Everyone was rewarded, Qin Ruwei let them go down first, as for what errands were assigned, this was naturally arranged by Mama Gong, and she didn't care.

Now that there is a change in identity, in addition to the palace people who are serving, there are also things and mansions that the emperor has re-rewarded, Qin Ruwei also has to tidy up the same, Princess Ren also knows that she is busy, and she does not disturb her, she just says that if there is something to help, just open her mouth, Qin Ruwei is grateful, knowing that she is also avoiding suspicion.

However, Qin Ruwei is indeed busy, and she feels a little annoyed that she has a lot of things to take over and deal with.

"I used to think that there were a lot of things in charge of the shop, but it was also smooth, but looking at these, I didn't know how to start!" Qin Ruwei looked at the large account book and the various gift lists, and frowned.

Mama Gong glanced at her with pity and said, "No matter how troublesome it is, you are the only bloodline of the eldest princess and the concubine, and their things should be inherited by you, and you can't escape this responsibility." ”

Qin Ruwei showed a wry smile and said, "I naturally know." As he spoke, he picked up a slip.

Mama Gong leaned over and said, "This is the eldest princess's dowry list, I have to count it carefully, I look at it, the princess's mansion has also been repaired, but it can be cleaned up and sent over." ”

Speaking of this mansion, Qin Ruwei remembered the Wei family's mansion, put down the list and asked, "The Wei family's mansion?" ”

Mama Gong's face froze, as if she was a little disdainful, and said: "The Wei family was also a big family back then, and the mansion was not far behind, when the eldest princess got married, in order to make the horse feel at ease, she also lived in the mansion, and waited for the old lady of the Wei family as her own mother, and she really didn't put the princess at all." It's a pity that some people just don't know how to cherish blessings. ”

When Qin Ruwei heard this, she knew that it was a bad thing.

Sure enough, Mama Gong said again: "Ordinary people, in fact, generally don't want to be a princess, because if you are still a princess, it means that there is no dereliction of duty or power, but General Zhongyong is not, he is still in charge of a side of the soldiers and horses." You also know that this general, will not be in Beijing all year round, the princess married for the past few years, and there is nothing, in the Wei family has suffered a lot of idleness, that is, by coincidence, the loyal and brave general knows, and without hesitation moved to the princess's mansion with the princess, which was also a troublesome in that year. ”

Qin Ruwei nodded, and said in her heart that this father is also bloody.

"After moving to the princess's mansion, the eldest princess really lived a comfortable and harmonious life, and she went to the mansion for a reunion dinner during the New Year's holidays." Mama Gong said: "So, this mansion, speaking of which, is really indispensable, but now that Wei Zheng lives, he will treat himself as a serious descendant." ”

Qin Ruwei pursed her lips and said, "Mama has seen this Wei Zheng?" How far is he from his lineage? ”

"It's not too biased, this Wei Zheng's mother Zhong and your grandmother are close sisters, and the two sisters married into the two brothers of the Wei family, but the Zhong family is a concubine to fill the house, so this Wei Zheng, you call him uncle, and it is also made."

When she said this, Qin Ruwei felt even more strange, and said: "Since you are so close, when the case of the Niang Wei family, why didn't this branch be affected, and now it has also inherited the ancestral hall of the Wei family." ”

Mama Gong was stunned, and she didn't seem to expect to go up this floor.

Qin Ruwei leaned back on the pillow behind her and said, "Although my father's case has been rehabilitated now, the letter was indeed searched from his study, and it was his handwriting, he was wronged, so who is behind the trouble?" Mama, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how many people can the Wei family escape? This Wei Zheng is said to be a partial house, but this bloodline, there are no three servings, right? But he escaped, which makes people think that he is a good life! ”

Mama Gong is not a stupid person, as soon as Qin Ruwei said this, she guessed the suspicious point, and said with a deep face: "Is the county lord saying that there is a problem with this Wei Zheng?" ”

"I don't know if he has a problem now, I just think it's strange, but if he is really related to this case, then this account really needs to be settled!" Qin Ruwei tapped on the table, and a hint of coldness flashed in her lowered eyes.

Whoever harms her parents behind her back, she wants to pay with blood! R1154
