33 The eventful autumn of the Guogong Mansion Hui Shuxi gave birth to twins
Li Yunxiao was escorted by Lin Hai and his entourage and rode to the Governor's Mansion.
Li Jingjing teamed up with Dr. Wang in the house to rescue the three seriously injured guards.
This matter was hidden from the Ming family, but it could not be hidden from He Huishu.
"Ye Lang, you acted too recklessly, you can't do it next time."
He Huishu thought that He Dong's only son, He Yiyang, was in the mansion, if more than 1,000 people from his family and Tanzhou gangsters rushed into the mansion just now, He Yiyang had three longs and two shorts, and even if the people of the entire Guogong Mansion did not give him a funeral, they would have to be demoted to commoners, and they were very afraid.
"Mother, I'm afraid that those people will howl and let my great-grandmother hear it, so I act impulsively in a hurry. I'm sorry, I was wrong. Qin Minye hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake.
He Huishu said quietly: "It's not a matter to go on like this. We can hide it for a while, but we can't hide it for a lifetime. ”
Qin Minye hurriedly said: "Mother, when the Empress Dowager learned of the death of King Xuanjun, she immediately collapsed. Uncle died in battle, you can't tell great-grandma. ”
He Huishu thought about it and said, "Tanzhou Academy has 2,000 protectors, and not long ago it added 3,000. Before your father returned, we took your great-grandmother to live in your aunt's house. ”
In the evening, 3,000 troops from Hunan Province rushed to the front of the Guogong Mansion in armor, and the general who led the team arrested more than 400 hooligans from the Qin family and Tanzhou in a vicious manner, tied them all with ropes, and sent 100 soldiers to escort them to the military camp.
Several old men of the Qin family's own family heard the news and rushed to beg the general to release them.
"Before Taishi Li went to the north, he ordered that the gangsters who were not good for the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion would be executed on the spot, and the lighter ones would be sentenced to fifty sticks and sent to the north as military slaves." The general was so angry that he almost grabbed a few old men and tied them up.
The most troublesome in this family are the children and grandchildren of the four old men, and they are the ones who have been arrested more than 100 people, and if they go to the Northland, they will not be able to come back in this life.
The four old men were so angry that they fainted on the spot.
Two old men died that night, and after a few days Qin Yue came back from Chang'an to learn about this, he was furious, and took hundreds of soldiers to his own house, and took back all the fields and shops that were given more than ten years ago, and declared to the outside world that he had severed relations with his family, and another one died of anger.
Over the years, the family has bullied the surrounding people, bullying men and women have done a lot of things, and at the worst time, even the slaves and maids of the low-ranking officials dared to rob them openly, once they lost the protection of the national government, and no one was an official, their status plummeted, and the people who had been oppressed by them immediately united to take revenge.
In just one month, more than 70 people in the Tanzhou government sued the family, and the governor of Tanzhou, Shi Bingcheng, judged the case and returned all the shops, fields, and silver coins seized by the family by improper means to the original owner, and sentenced more than 50 members of the family to exile for 3,000 miles and be punished with a cane according to the law.
Before, the family paid money to hire hundreds of second-rate people to wail outside the Guogong Mansion, and later the guards and servants of the Guogong Mansion came out to drive people out.
These second-rate sons beat the three guards to serious injuries, and the army arrived and captured half of the second-rate people and sent them directly to the Northland.
Their family hated their family to death, and more than 200 people came to their house every day to ask for compensation, and if they didn't give money, they went to cry outside the family's remaining dozen shops, and the business was gone.
The family had to sell their shops and divide the money among the houses. Who knew that because of the uneven distribution, there was a great contradiction between the houses, and two people died in the fight, and the last old man was also angry to death.
How did the family get rich and prosperous at a rapid pace, but now it is falling at an even faster rate.
"Last year, the four of us gave Miss Lan and Miss Yue in Chang'an Mansion 4,000 taels of silver tickets. They personally agreed to bring one of our four families to become an official. ”
"My father was afraid that they would pay their bills, so he sent someone to follow them for a few days. That day, when they got the silver tickets, they went to the jewelry shops on the street and bought a lot of jewelry. ”
"Let's go to Chang'an to find them. How can they do this if they don't do anything after they collect the cash ticket? ”
"This is our only hope."
"If they don't do anything, then return the silver ticket, and four thousand taels is enough for the four of us to open a shop and make a comeback."
Half of the children and grandchildren of the four families were arrested and went to the north, and one of the remaining children and grandchildren from each family left Tanzhou on the same day to go to the Chang'an Guogong Mansion.
In the side hall of the Yulan Courtyard of the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion, He Huishu was sitting and looking at the account book of the shop that was recovered from the house, and was rewarded by the subordinates, snorted coldly, and said, "Let them touch the nails!" ”
The day after Qin Yue returned to Tanzhou from Chang'an, he took Ming and He Huishu back to his home.
He Huishu already knew about Qin Yue's reputation ruined in the Chang'an Mansion.
Qin Yue slapped the table and said angrily: "Those two livestock did a good thing, and they accepted bribes under the banner of the palace before they got married. ”
He Huishu shook her head and frowned: "Their reputation will be ruined if it is ruined, but it is a pity that it has affected Jing Niang." ”
The Jing Niang she said was Qin Wanjing, the daughter born to Qin Nan and the Deng family.
Qin Wanjing is thirteen years old this year, with a beautiful appearance, dignified and generous, intelligent and clever, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Her biological mother, Deng, was born in a famous family, and she was very strict with her, and she acted steadily and fairly at a young age, ten times stronger than her four aunts.
Her two aunts were vulgar and stupid, and her two aunts were frivolous and sinister, and they all had bad reputations.
The granddaughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion began to discuss marriage last year, and it was a little difficult to get high or low.
Now she has to keep filial piety for her father for three years, and when the filial piety period expires, she will be sixteen years old.
The housekeeper led two middle-aged men dressed as black-clad fast boots guards in, "Second master, second lady, they are the guards in front of the prince, and I will send you a letter on the order of the prince." ”
"The little one has seen the second master and the second lady." The two guards presented the two letters with both hands, and were a little surprised to see that Qin Yue's dark-skinned forehead was smooth and did not leave any scars.
Qin Yue took the letter from Qin Pukang, the eldest nephew of the prince, and took a cursory look at it, his bull's eyes were round, and he shouted: "Hui Shu, Qin Dong's livestock was not born to his father and the Zhu family, he was the illegitimate son of Uncle Tian and the woman in the outer room, and his father actually raised him for Uncle Tian for more than ten years!" ”
He Huishu looked at the twenty-three-page long letter written by the Deng family, and saw the same incident, but there was one thing that was not written in Qin Pukang's letter, Li's face was shocked, and she lost her voice: "Aunt Tian Jiahong is angry that her father is nosy and helps Uncle Tian hide it from her for more than ten years, and she led the soldiers to smash our house, and beat her father and mother. ”
Qin Yue was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Dad has raised a son for the Tian family for more than ten years, why did Aunt Hong beat her father and mother and smashed our house?" ”
He Huishu didn't raise her head, and said in a loud voice: "Officials of this dynasty are not allowed to raise illegitimate children in the outer room. Don't you know, Dad doesn't know, Uncle Tian doesn't know, and you don't know when you are a civil and military official in the Manchu Dynasty? The Tian family was impeached by hundreds of officials, Uncle Tian's dukedom was not guaranteed, and Aunt Hong had nowhere to vent her anger, so she found her father. ”
Qin Yue's face was embarrassed, and he exhaled angrily: "It's obviously Uncle Tian's fault, why should my father bear Aunt Hong's anger for him?" ”
"If I were Aunt Hong and sued the emperor directly, my father would also be guilty of harboring Uncle Tian and should be severely punished!" He Huishu glared at Qin Yue and said coldly: "Even if good brothers share weal and woe, then they will be punished together, and they will all lose their dukedom and finish their work." ”
Qin Yue hurriedly said, "Huishu, why are you talking like this?" ”
He Huishu hated Qin Yue for not being made of steel, and said angrily: "Who wants my father to do such a thing, and I am stunned to raise other people's concubines as my own concubines." If you hadn't been provoked by that livestock this time and broke his leg, Dad would have to hide it, and he would have stabbed out a big disaster in the future, and it would have been in our house! ”
Qin Yue hurriedly walked over and squatted down, and said softly: "Huishu, don't be angry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have you off. ”
After reading the letter, He Huishu burst into tears, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is not easy. ”
When Qin Yue was in the Chang'an Mansion, he saw Deng being scolded by Mi, Qin Hong, and Qin Juan several times, and he also knew that she had been greatly wronged.
He Huishu was in an irritable mood, pushed away Qin Yue, who was blocking the light like a hill, and frowned: "I'll go to live with my sister for a few days, and you will accompany grandma in the house." ”
Qin Yue hurriedly said: "Huishu, don't leave me while you're pregnant." ”
If Qin Yue asked for a few words before, He Huishu agreed, these days he was really angry with the bad things that came from the Qin family, and decided that instead of staying in the mansion and being angry, it was better to go to the He family to live comfortably.
Qin Minye sent He Huishu to the Li Mansion of Tanzhou Academy, and the Li family welcomed her to come and live.
He Shi saw that He Huishu's eyes were stained with tears, and immediately asked the reason, and learned that it was not Qin Yue who was angry, but was disturbed by the mess in the Chang'an Guogong Mansion, and comforted: "Sister, your sister-in-law has just taken charge of the house, and in a few days everything will be started, and everything will be smooth, and after a few years, you and your brother-in-law will return to Chang'an, and the Guogong Mansion will not be what it is now." ”
He Huishu's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "I drilled the tip of the horns." You have a point. I wrote a letter to my sister-in-law, telling her to think far away and not be angry with those people. ”
When the four members of the Qin family's family arrived in Chang'an, they went to the Guogong Mansion to see Qin Lan and Qin Yue, but they touched the nail and took the risk to go to the Chang'an Mansion to beat the drum and sue them.
Qin Lan broke her right arm, and was sued by the Qin family for accepting bribes in the name of King Qingjun, and her reputation was ruined.
Princess Niu wore court clothes and held the spirit card of her deceased husband He Xia to go to the early dynasty, if He Dong did not withdraw the decree to cancel Qin Lan to be the side concubine of her second son He Jingqing, she would be ashamed of He Xia, and she would be killed head-on.
He Dongzheng regretted this family affair very much, and immediately agreed to Princess Niu, and issued an order asking the Criminal Department to strictly investigate this matter, and if it is true, it will be severely punished.
The next morning, officials from the DPRK Criminal Department truthfully reported the case.
He Donglongyan was furious, and ordered the Guogong Mansion to immediately return the four members of the family 4,000 taels of silver, Qin Lan and the degraded people were sent to the north as military slaves, Qin Yue was not allowed to marry an official in this life, Qin Xionghuang had no way to discipline, and the Guogong Mansion was in chaos.
Qin Xionghuang fainted on the spot, and after waking up, he had returned to the bedroom of the Chang'an Guogong Mansion, wanting to cry without tears.
Mi's only knew how to cry bitterly, Qin Hong and Qin Juan were detained in the house by their in-laws and couldn't get out, and the concubines Liu and Feng didn't dare to come for fear of touching their heads.
Deng Shi was next door with his three children, and when he learned that Qin Xiong had woken up, he hurried over.
Qin Xionghuang ordered the Liu family, the Feng family, and Qin Yue to be sent to the suburban mansion to be locked up with the Zhu family, and Qin Li was sent to the most bitter military camp in the north.
Deng said in a low voice: "Dad, there is still a lot of silver in the account book of the house, but I took out 30,000 taels of silver and handed it over to the court at once, I am afraid that it will be true, I am thinking about selling hundreds of acres of fields and two shops in Chang'an to make money." ”
Mi Shi had a lot of snot and tears on his face, looked at Deng with disgust, and shouted: "How can the field be sold!" The shops can earn thousands of taels of silver every year, and they must not be sold! ”
"From today on, whether I live or die, you are not allowed to ask about the big and small affairs in the house." It's not the first time Qin Xionghuang has seen Mi's stupidity, this time it's hopelessly stupid, she brought her two concubines to be as stupid as her, and there is no good thing for several concubines and concubines, and she didn't bring up her two sons and three grandchildren, otherwise the Qin family would have no hope at all.
Mi howled and cried: "You conscienceless thing, if I hadn't saved your life back then, would you be able to have the wealth you have today?" ”
"If you hadn't saved my life, I would have made you a duchess of the country?" Qin Xionghuang's face turned dark and blue, called a few housekeepers in, and ordered: "This will immediately send a message to all the mansions, in the future, the head of the Guogong Mansion will be the Deng family, and you will find the Deng family for everything, if you find the Mi family, it will be disrespectful to the Guogong Mansion!" ”
Mi Shi cried and fainted, Qin Xionghuang asked her to carry her away, and in the future, she was not allowed to come in to visit without his consent.
The Deng family sent someone to send a message to Qin Xionghuang's old rival, the housewife of Deng Yingguo's mansion, and sold the two shops with the best business in the prosperous area of Chang'an to the Deng Guogong Mansion.
Above the court, when the hundred officials scolded Qin Xiong, Deng Ying stood up and said a few fair words for him.
Deng persuaded Qin Xionghuang to send his son, the eldest son of his grandson, Qin Pukang, to the Northland Army, which was still the Longteng Army and the Lion Roaring Army, which Qin Nan was in before his death.
When this incident came out, He Dong praised the loyalty and patriotism of the Guogong Mansion and gave medicinal materials to Qin Xionghuang who was sick. The reputation of the Duke of Qin has recovered somewhat.
Since the end of April, He Huishu has often stayed in the Li Mansion.
After the summer and into the early autumn, before He Huishu was about to die, the He family took Li Jingjing to live in the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion.
At noon in early September, He Huishu had just taken a few bites of lunch before she became popular, and an hour passed, and she gave birth to two healthy baby boys successively.
When the elder brother's little baby boy has pale skin, his appearance is very beautiful and cute with He Huishu, and when his younger brother's skin is only slightly whiter than charcoal, his bull's eyes and big nose look exactly the same as Qin Yue.
Everyone in the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion was overjoyed, just because the uncle of the two little boys had just passed away less than a year ago, and they could not post happy words and set off firecrackers, so they boiled some red eggs and gave them to relatives and friends.
The Full Moon Wine was very low-key, and only a few subordinates of the Li family and Qin Yue were invited.
On this day, two white-haired old women wearing new clothes came to the gate of Tanzhou Guogong Mansion, claiming to be sisters in the same village of the Ming family, who had been handkerchiefs with her, and now the blessing of the children and grandchildren moved to Tanzhou after a good life, and came to visit her.
The door slave interrogated them for a long time, led them to the side door, reported to Qin Yue and the Ming family, and then invited them to the Peony Courtyard.
When Ming saw the old sisters, he was very excited, said a lot of things, and sent someone to send them home in a carriage.
In a month, the two mothers-in-law came to the Guogong Mansion several times, first with a few little great-grandchildren, and later brought the four adult grandsons with them, pointing to the Ming family to find an errand for the four grandsons in the mansion.
The Ming clan was not good at refusing, so he asked Qin Yue to arrange it. Qin Yue arranged the four of them as door slaves.
Who knew that on the third night of the four of them, they let the two women of their own family into the house in a daze.
These two women were very familiar with the terrain of the Guogong Mansion, and because it was dark, they were not discovered, and they walked smoothly to the Peony Courtyard.
The two old women guarding the courtyard refused to let the two women in, and quickly ordered someone to drive them out.
Coincidentally, Ming's went out for a walk after eating too much that night, and happened to encounter this scene when he came back.
The two women knew that this was the last chance, and cried like crazy, "Old lady, the family knows the sin, and you have forgiven the family a lot, but you still recognize the family." ”
"Old lady, before your four cousins passed away, they all said that they couldn't live with your sister-in-law, please forgive me, and please protect our family."
The Ming family didn't know about the death of the four old men of the family at all, and they didn't know that the Guogong Mansion had been cut off from the family, so he asked the four big slaves next to him in surprise: "They all died of illness?" Didn't I say that they would let me know when they died? ”
The four big slaves were so anxious that they cried out, and said, "Old lady, come into the courtyard quickly, and the second master and young master will tell you in detail later." ”
"Old lady, the life of this family can't go on, and the family has reached the point of selling children and daughters, please be merciful and admit back to your family."
"Old lady, the family has no way out now, and it is only one step away from being dispersed."
Some of the slaves rushed out and gagged the two women and were about to be taken away.
The daughter of the round-faced woman was the concubine of the former governor of Hunan Province, and was sent to the north to be a military slave. She and her husband once begged the government to save their daughter but were refused, and they have always held a grudge.
When she saw that the Ming clan was helped into the courtyard by four slaves, she shot an extremely resentful look in her eyes, struggled to break free, pulled out the cloth in her mouth, and screamed: "Qin Nan was trampled to death by ten thousand horses in the Xiongnu grassland in the spring!" The reputation of the Guogong Mansion is not Sacred Heart, and it will not be rich for a few years! ”
She was knocked unconscious by the slave's punches.
When the Ming clan heard the tragic death of the eldest grandson Qin Nan and the collapse of the Guogong Mansion, he opened his mouth wide and fell backwards violently.
