On the second day, early in the morning, Qian Yuning bid farewell to the villagers of Cuixi Village who came to see him off, and set off for the capital under the escort of Captain Qin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cuixi Village is actually not far from the capital, riding a horse is a day and a night, if you take a carriage, it will be slower, but three days is enough, Qin Xiaowei took into account that Qian Yuning was eight months pregnant, and deliberately slowed down the speed of travel, and at noon on the fourth day, everyone walked slowly to the gate of the capital. Because of the waist card of Cui Xiaohou on his body, the little official guarding the city gate nodded and welcomed everyone into the city gate.

As soon as you enter the gate of the capital, look around, there are many restaurants on the street, the vendors are selling, a lively and extraordinary scene, at the foot of this day, the public security is good, the street is also spacious, and they are all paved with good bluestone slabs on the big road, a road goes straight forward, and the majestic palace in the distance is magnificent.

Qian Yuning opened the sedan curtain and looked at it, and soon put it down again, and the light in the sedan chair dimmed suddenly. She is the second time to enter this city gate, the first time she came, she was surrounded by the prosperity and liveliness of the capital, I only feel that the capital is good everywhere, I think that I will live here in the future, I just feel like a dream, not very real, but I look forward to it. At that time, when I was in the Green Willow Courtyard, I naively thought that if I could live in such a place in the future, I would not have to worry about anything, I would not have to worry about food and clothing, and my family in Jiangning would have my own little marquis to take care of it, and I would not have to worry about giving birth to a child in the future, and the little marquis would always raise her well, and I would not worry, as for the eldest daughter Niuniu, the little marquis also said, to take her to live with her, she was full of gratitude, and felt that everything was so good and perfect, although there was still some trepidation and uncertainty in her heart, but she deliberately ignored it, and she always ******** Thinking about it, the little marquis will arrange it. However, since she was sent by the young lady of the Hou Mansion to pour medicine in the Green Willow Courtyard, she began to be afraid, and then, she was disgusted by the Hou Ye Lady in the Mansion and secretly sent her to the Qingyin Temple on Cuiping Mountain overnight. At that time, I listened to the meaning of Mama Xu beside Mrs., that when she gave birth to the child in her womb, she would be taken away immediately, as for herself, if Mrs. Hou Ye was happy, she would leave a small life and leave the capital, if Mrs. Hou Ye was unhappy, she was in the hands of the old woman of Mrs. Dingyuan, wouldn't she be tortured to death at any time?

Originally, Qian Yuning was a person who had no quarrel with the world, what she learned from elementary school was humility, and when she was a girl at home, she had to let her brother and brother, eldest sister and younger sister in the family. After getting married, you must serve your husband Wei Mingyuan and your filial mother-in-law Wei Zhang. However, being good to others everywhere, what did you get in the end, since her husband Wei Mingyuan accepted a concubine, he was suddenly estranged from her, and when he never had a warm relationship, his mother-in-law even connived at Qiuyun's cheap hooves to bully herself.

Later, he was abandoned and returned to his parents' house, and his sister-in-law and younger siblings couldn't get used to it, so they had to drive themselves out of the house, the father died unjustly at home, and the mother wept all day long, even though the heart hurt herself, but her husband died, and she would have to rely on her two sons and daughters-in-law to support her in the future. On that day, he was angry and went out of the house, and his heart hurt his mother, so he gave her most of the money on his body.

When I was in the small broken house, that winter was the most sad winter I lived, the thin quilt was like ice, the heart was like iron, the family of relatives and blood ignored themselves, the husband died mysteriously, and the mother-in-law brought someone to forcibly take away her daughter Niuniu. This pile, one by one, is heart-wrenching.

In every sleepless night, Qian Yuning always asked himself thousands of times, did he do something wrong? God wants to punish himself like this, and there are a few times when I really want to die, there are not so many worries, and there are not so many things that are frightening. However, she later met Cui Shuyan again, but her hand stroked her stomach again, she had children again, she didn't want to lose them, the little marquis and the child were her future dependence, and they were the most important people to herself, so she couldn't be depressed, she wanted to cheer up, she wanted to let herself and her children live well in this world, and she wanted to do everything she could to let her children grow up safely and happily.

Qin Xiaowei took Aunt Qian and everyone to the gate of Anxinhou's mansion, Anxinhou's mansion is a family of meritorious deeds for generations, the gate is made of more than two hundred years of yellow rosewood, painted vermilion, because it is a military general's meritorious service, so there is a lacquered gold tiger head with teeth and teeth on the left and right facades of the gate, which is very powerful. At the gate, there are more than 10 stone steps paved with good bluestone slabs, go down a few steps and then walk a few steps to the street, there is a majestic stone lion statue more than one person high squatting on the left and right of the street, and there is a small stone lion statue at the foot of the two big stone lion statues, which looks particularly cute.

The outside of the two piers of stone lions each stands a big round golden pillar more than one zhang high, the top one meter of the golden pillar on the left is engraved with the four dragons flying and phoenix dancing of "Lizhou Cui's", the vigorous and powerful black lacquer characters, the top one meter of the right golden pillar is engraved with the four black lacquer characters of "generation meritorious service", I heard that these eight words are mentioned by the founding emperor Yuan Jingdi himself, affirming the loyalty and merit of the Cui family. Two golden pillars below one meter are neatly and orderly written some small characters, indicating that Cui's original is a native of Kangxian County, Lizhou, and later Cui's ancestor Cui Daquan fought with Emperor Yuanjing, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, during which he fought bravely to kill the enemy, led the army to capture the city five times, repelled the enemy's attack twice, and in the last battle because he was hit by a poisoned arrow to save the emperor, he injured the five organs, and never went to the battlefield again.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperor personally named Cui Daquan as the Marquis of Anxin, and he was favored for a lifetime. Later, the Cui family ran the family with martial arts, and most of the wives they married were the daughters of military generals, and all the children and grandchildren also practiced martial arts since childhood, but unfortunately the men of the Cui family were not prosperous, no matter how many wives and concubines they married, each generation of descendants only had three to five men, and most of them died on the battlefield. In Cui Zhongyi's generation, his father had to have two sons, he and his brother Cui Zhongli. After Cui Zhongyi inherited the title of Marquis of Anxin, he was not very keen on the affairs of men and women, and his two sons were Cui Shuyan, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Hou, and Cui Shuxing, the second grandfather of the aunt Liu.

Captain Qin commanded his subordinates to park the carriage that Qian Yuning was sitting in, and only then did he take Sun Er Mazi to the gatehouse to ask, the two passed by the stone lion and the golden pillar, walked a few steps up a few stone steps, and walked a few more steps, and saw four young men standing neatly outside the gate, all wearing the ordinary subordinate clothes of the Hou Mansion, but at a glance at the straight standing posture, you can know that it is a standard military posture that has been practiced in the barracks.

Captain Qin stepped forward and politely bowed his hand to a few people: "A few brothers, I don't know if the little marquis is here today?" Tired of reporting. ”

One of the four, on the left side, asked, "Who are you?" What is the matter with my little marquis? ”

Captain Qin pointed to the soft sedan chair next to the stone lion and said: "The lower official was ordered to send the aunt of the little marquis of the mansion to Beijing, and I would like you to report it, and I will say that Aunt Qian has arrived." Captain Qin smiled on his face, touched his hand in his arms, took out a few pieces of broken silver, and put them on the hand of the person who spoke.

The man took the money, looked at each other with the other three companions, each sneered, put the broken silver into Captain Qin's hand again, and said in a strange voice: "This official, we have a rule that you can't accept money, besides, I'm not a messenger, I'm just guarding the door." I can't do your job, you can find someone else! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three also shook their heads and waved their hands and said, "I can't do it either, I can't do it either." At this moment, the five big and three thick Captain Qin couldn't move in place, I didn't know what to do, looking at the mocking expressions on their faces one by one, I really wanted to go up and slap the two mouths. However, this was not a military camp, so Captain Qin had to endure his anger and retreat to discuss with Aunt Qian in the sedan chair.

Qian Yuning listened to Captain Qin's words, and then asked the British side to hand out a purse, Captain Qin opened it and saw that ten taels of snowflake silver with four nails of white flowers were heavy in the purse. Qian Yuning's voice came out of the sedan chair through the door curtain: "Captain Qin has worked hard this time, and the Qian family is grateful!" Captain Qin took his purse and bowed his hand to the sedan chair and said respectfully: "Don't dare, it's the honor of the lower official to serve his aunt." And with that, he took the money and went again.

This time, Captain Qin still handed over the purse with a smile, and a few gatekeepers opened the purse and looked at it, didn't say anything more, and accepted it with satisfaction. Dare to love, just now, I don't think the amount of silver is enough! Captain Qin thought to himself, ****, guarding your mother's gate will earn ten taels of silver a day, Lao Tzu only gets ten taels a month, said for a long time, Lao Tzu is a captain and a young general, it is better to guard the door, he is really unbalanced in his heart, after this day, this matter has been bothering him for several months, and he can't figure it out.

After a while, two vague figures appeared in the distance at the second gate of the Hou Mansion, closer, closer, and could see clearly, one was the young servant who had just received the money and sent the girl to inform the master, and the other fat figure was definitely not the wise and martial little Hou Ye, but an old woman, this person was Mama Xu beside Mrs. Hou Ye. The servant walked up to him with Mama Xu, pointed to Captain Qin and said, "Mama, look, it's this one who said that he wanted to find the little marquis, and said that he sent some kind of aunt." ”

Mama Xu looked at Qin Jian from head to toe with cold eyes, and then from her feet to the top of her head, and said with a salty mouth: "This master is polite, I don't know where the aunt that the master said is now?" Mama Xu stood up straight, and her tone was very hard.

Captain Qin pointed to the soft sedan chair parked next to the stone lion and said to her in a good voice: "Mama, look, your aunt is in the sedan chair, since Mama you are here, can you go in now, and I'm tired of bringing a way down." ”

Mama Xu frowned and said, "What went in, can the gate of this Hou Mansion also be entered by the likes of the aunt and concubine?" When I went to take a look, I found that it was right to change to a small sedan chair and enter through the back door. ”

Mama Xu said that Qin Jian grabbed her head, there are too many rules in this Hou Mansion, and he is a little blindsided, so he has no choice but to ask Aunt Qian for advice again.

Qian Yuning was already so stuffy in the sedan chair that he was holding his breath, it had been half an hour at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and he was still not allowed to enter, and now there was a bad star of Mama Xu, although she was not happy, but thinking that it was serious to go to the mansion first, Qian Yuning got off the sedan chair under the service of Ying Fang's grandmother.

Mama Xu stood on the high stone steps, condescendingly watching Qian Yuning walking towards her, shocked in her heart, this woman is so hard, I heard that the Dingyuan master of Qingyin Temple has more than a dozen aunts in her hands, there is no exception, no matter how spicy and tricky she is, Dingyuan can make her obedient. Give the silver first and don't leave, and are reluctant to leave the rich family, and finally can't live in the temple, it's really hard, but will beg Mrs. Dingyuan to give her the silver and leave automatically. If she is stubborn and doesn't leave, Mrs. Dingyuan also has a way to make her completely disappear from the world. Therefore, if many ladies in Beijing don't like which concubine, they will always find a reason to send her to Qingyin Temple, and the concubine and the master don't know the inside story, and the two are often separated forever. Even if some aunts who are particularly favored by the old man stay in the temple for a long time and do not see the old man all the year round, the lady of the family will be a person again, and after accepting a new person for the master, the old man will also give the lady some face and no longer mention the aunt back. After all, my aunt is just a beautiful woman, and when she is bored, as long as her wife is virtuous, she can accept as many beautiful women as she wants.
