Chapter 140: Thanksgiving
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the Marquis of Guangping Mansion is also like the Guifu in Kyoto, the door god and the pair have been changed for a long time, and the peach charm is newly oiled, and the vermilion lantern is lit from the front of the Hou Mansion to the inner courtyard, and the Hou Mansion is brightly lit, so it is not lively. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xue Maoye, the Marquis of Guangping, rarely sat down in the Qingyun Hall in the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion and was passing by to ask about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, he looked at the list sent by Zhuangzi, frowned very much, and put it down impatiently after looking at it for a while, and asked the mother-in-law to bring the list of the Hehuan Banquet and the New Year's Gift, the more open the more ugly his face became, and finally threw the list to the ground angrily, and said angrily: "When did my Guangping Marquis Mansion fall like this, the dignified New Year's Ceremony can't even prepare the decent things on the table, and even the Hehuan Banquet is so cold!" ”
The mother-in-law trembled forward and picked up the lists, and replied very fearfully: "Those Zhuangzi all said that they had sent a lot of mountain goods and silver before, and there was not much left, and they were all sent in time for the New Year's Festival, but the original harvest was not good, and it was not as good as in previous years." ”
Xue Maoye's brows were furrowed, and his face was extremely ugly: "You have already sent mountain goods and silver?" Why haven't I seen it?! Where did it go? ”
Where did the mother-in-law dare to say, and whispered: "Min, I don't know, the head of the village on the Zhuangzi said so......" Where did she dare to say that it was the wife of the prince, Chen, who asked the mountain goods on the Zhuangzi to exchange for silver, and made up for the deficit together.
Xue Maoye was angry, and slapped the table case fiercely: "This Hou Mansion has become like this now?" The silver and mountain goods sent by Zhuangzi have never returned to me, so I don't know where they went! He looked fiercely at the mother-in-law standing below with her head bowed and her face like earth, "It must be you again, it was the slut of the Yu family who made you do it, she was all locked up in Liqing Courtyard, and she still refused to live in peace, and asked you slaves to do it!" ”
Several mothers-in-law hurriedly knelt down, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”
Or one of the mothers-in-law saw that Xue Maoye was really angry, if he didn't say it again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain it today, so he had to whisper: "Yes, it was Mrs. Shizi who asked the head of the village to send the mountain goods and silver first, and asked the steward of the shop to send all the cash over, and the maid didn't dare to say half a word." She fell to the ground in fear.
Xue Maoye's face changed, his eyes staring at the mother-in-law became more and more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Shizi asked them to send it over first, so where did the silver and mountain goods go?" The New Year's gift and the feast are so cold, where did the money go?! ”
The mother-in-law didn't dare to speak at all, and if she continued to talk about it, she was afraid that she would not only annoy the Hou Ye, but also offend Mrs. Shizi, so it was really impossible to survive and die.
Xue Maoye saw that the mother-in-law lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and he was even more angry, and he was about to have a seizure when he slowly stood up, today he had to inquire about this matter no matter what, and he dared to hide from him in his Hou Mansion that he was greedy for silver, this was undoubtedly challenging his majesty, and he would never allow such a thing to happen!
It's just that before he could send those mothers-in-law, his elder followed Xue Wang in quickly, glanced at the mothers-in-law who knelt on the ground in fright, and gave Xue Maoye a thousand: "Master Hou, the palace has sent the reward of the spring sacrifice." ”
Xue Maoye's eyebrows jumped, his face full of anger suddenly became solemn, and he hurriedly asked Xue Wang: "Which father-in-law came over?" ”
Xue Wang said: "It's Gonggong Mao of the capital governor." ”
Hearing that it was Gonggong Mao, whom he knew, Xue Maoye's heart was half relieved, and he nodded: "Come out with me, and let the prince and his wife also hurry out to thank him." ”
When Xue Maoye took his son and daughter-in-law to the big flower hall quickly, there was already a middle-aged eunuch wearing a three-grade flying fish official uniform sitting in the upper seat of the flower hall.
"Father-in-law Mao is coming to the Hou Mansion, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" Xue Maoye's smile was almost overflowing, "My father-in-law hasn't been here for a while, and I invited him back to Guanghelou a few times to listen to the play, but my father-in-law didn't appreciate his face." ”
Gonggong Mao got up with a smile and called Xue Maoye a few people, and said: "Marquis Guangping, don't come to be harmed, our family is ordered by the emperor to send a reward, there are many affairs in the palace, and there is no time to take a nap, where can I still have time to come out to listen to the play." "He is a eunuch who knows the eunuch Bingbi, where can he look down on Xue Maoye, an idle marquis who has no official position and no position.
Xue Maoye smiled and nodded in response: "The nobles value Father-in-law Mao the most, so naturally they are not idle, but Guanghelou has added two new plays, "Ming Feng" and "Pipa" are both very good singing, if the father-in-law is free, he must enjoy his face and go." ”
Gonggong Mao glanced at Xue Maoye, and there was a little smile on his face: "Since Hou Ye Xue has this intention, I naturally can't push it, just bother it another day." He took a small yellow cloth bag from the hand of the little eunuch who followed him: "Then please accept the reward." ”
Xue Maoye hurriedly straightened his robe and knelt down with several sons and daughters-in-law: "Thank you, thank God." ”
Shen Ruohua quietly followed Xue Wenhao, Xue Wenhuai, and the Chen family and the Yao family knelt down, but raised his eyes slightly to look at the high-spirited Mao Gonggong above, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, it seems that no matter how hard the Guangping Marquis Mansion tried to tie up King Kang, it still never entered the eyes of the palace after all, so that this eunuch Mao Gonggong, who knew the eunuch of the capital, came to send a reward. She knows best that if she really makes the heart of the palace, whether it is the intention of wooing or the murderous intention, it will not be the person who knows the prison, but the person who is a real confidant like the celebrant eunuch.
Gonggong Mao glanced at the people from the Guangping Marquis Mansion who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a shrill voice: "Why don't you see the old lady of the Guangping Marquis?" She is the emperor's decree, how can she not come to thank her for receiving the reward?! ”
"The concubine is here," a raised voice sounded outside the door of the flower hall, "Come and thank the emperor for the spring festival!" "It's Old Madam Xue, she's actually here!
