Chapter 47: The Abandoned Girl
On the second day, Ah Xiu secretly summoned Sun Fuxiao to take advantage of the situation and asked him to draw a confession. Ming Suxin tattooed him fifty taels of silver to settle down.
Sun Fu burst into tears: "Thank you for the princess's grace not to kill!" Sun Fu has nothing to repay, he will do his duty and repay the princess in case! ”
Ah Xiu smiled widely: "You must know, it will soon be the end of the year, I will save your life so that everyone can celebrate the New Year safely, Qiu Qin is sick now, and she can't bear to bear such a fact, and she will hide it." In the spring of the next year, when Qiu Qin is better, I will tell her about these public cases, and whether she wants to take your life or not depends on whether she is willing to settle the matter. ”
Sun Fu nodded and replied: "The wrong side is wrong, although I am humble, but I still know the truth of killing people to pay for their lives, in troubled times, the princess's fifty taels of silver are comparable to gold." If the little lady wants me to live this cheap life in the future, Sun Fu will never forget the great kindness of the princess! ”
Ah Xiu nodded: "You go back to the other garden in a few days, don't make a noise." If someone asks, they only say that they were greedy for silver taels when they were procured by Lamei in the house, and now they are not growing well, so they are locked up and punished by me. ”
"Don't worry, the princess, the little one knows how powerful. Be tight-lipped. Sun Fu kowtowed and thanked him.
When Sun Fu went, Ah Xiu ordered Ying'er to take ten taels of silver: "After the death of the winter kite, there were no relatives, and she was hastily buried at the beginning, but now that you know the cause and effect, you can find a new place for her to bury her, and it is also to comfort her in the spirit of heaven." Ying'er nodded, and Ah Xiu called Bijin again: "You go and find the piano." He said that I was going to add something to the room and asked her to pick it up. Don't alarm others. ”
After the order, Ah Xiu walked to the bottom of the porch, looking at the blue sky, and finally felt a little calmer.
After holding the qin, Ah Xiu asked her not to tell others about the previous incident, and gave her a list again, and asked her to go to the warehouse to pick it up and take it back to Zi'er.
was quiet until the end of the year, during which Zhu Yuanzhang occasionally returned home, and half of the time rested at Axiu's place, except for Qingyun and Zhilan, Zhilan was pregnant again. Ah Xiu was also quite happy in his heart, thinking that this year could pass smoothly, but one day in the army, Tang He suddenly sent someone to send a letter, and a woman in the army gave birth to a daughter for Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked Ah Xiu how to plan.
Ah Xiu received the letter and saw that he gave birth to a daughter, and saw that his mother died in childbirth, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him ask for Tang and sent someone to find a suitable family, intending to give his daughter to the people, and he was even more anxious, so he came to the army to find Zhu Yuanzhang when he freshened up and dressed up.
Along the way, the sergeants saw that Ah Xiu was cautious and saluted, Ah Xiu saw that their eyes shrunk, knew the reason, and did not ask harsh questions, and walked all the way to Zhu Yuanzhang's big tent, just when he met Tang He and came out with a sad face.
"Where is Mr. Tang going?" Ah Xiu grabbed Tang He, deliberately gave him a look, and asked in a loud voice. Tang He nodded into his arms again. Ah Xiu understood and asked: "Where did the girl who just landed come from, how can you be a man who holds such a milk doll, and give me a hug." Saying that, he hugged the doll and looked at it, and was about to ask again, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold his breath inside and walked out: "Madame, don't care, let Tanghe take it!" ”
"What's the point? Could it be that I can't hold this doll? Ah Xiu said angrily. Seeing this, Tang He bowed and bowed, and retreated. Seeing that Tang He was gone, Ah Xiu ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, hugged the girl and went straight into the account. When the sergeants in the tent saw Ah Xiu come in, and saw that the prince's face was uncertain, they all withdrew from the tent to serve.
Ah Xiu sat on the main seat, Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed, nor did he sit, just stared at the baby girl in Ah Xiu's arms, standing with a bitter face.
Ah Xiu sneered: "What does the prince have to say when he sits down and says, what are you doing standing up?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated: "This girl was born to a down-and-out woman, or, Mrs. should dispose of it for me!" Ah Xiu was even more angry: "What? The prince was in such a hurry to dispose of her? How to dispose of it? ”
"Madame is angry, this was an accident, a hangover at the beginning of the year, someone sent a woman in to serve, I was drunk and immoral made a big mistake, and now the woman died in childbirth, this doll is also inconvenient for me to raise, it is better to send a better civilian home. Now please don't be angry, if you want to beat or scold your wife. Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red.
"Huh! Your sergeants are so attentive! Have you forgotten the old Sutan sister? At the beginning, because of Sister Tan, you almost took the heads of Wen Zheng and Hu Deji, have you forgotten! Or is it that the prince is now the king, and things like sending beautiful women no longer need to be dealt with as strictly as before, they are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning? Ah Xiu's words were sonorous, and his tone was sarcastic.
"Sit down first! Standing like this, waiting for the people below to come in and reply, you may not necessarily slander me, the princess, is a Hedong lion's roar! Ah Xiu saw that he had been standing and said impatiently.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already at a loss, but when he saw that Ah Xiu was angry, he could only sit down according to his words: "Madam, all the mistakes are my fault, everything depends on Madame, please don't be angry anymore!" Ah Xiushu said: "I ask myself if I am not a jealous person, there are many beautiful concubines in the house, have I ever favored one over the other?" The prince had the intention of accepting a maid like Peiru Qiuqin at the beginning, have I ever criticized and felt sorry for the prince? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained: "Madame, I think too much! I just felt that it was wrong overnight, and the woman's status was vulgar and not worth entering the house, so I didn't make a noise for a while, but I didn't expect her to be pregnant only once, and I had no choice but to let her give birth. ”
"No matter what her identity is, the identity of the prince is precious, even if she feels that she is not in sight afterwards, in the end she has also inherited the joy of the prince for a while, although as the prince said, it is really a drunken loss of virtue and a moment of wrong love, but also should admit her into the house for her to eat and eat for the rest of her life, so as not to damage the reputation of the prince. Besides, the child is innocent, her biological mother died, you are her biological father, why do you want to give her away? Although Ah Xiu's tone was slightly relaxed, he was still not angry after all.
"And what is the matter now, as Madame sees?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Ah Xiu's tone was slightly slower, and said cautiously. Ah Xiu sighed: "I'll take her back, just say that she is the daughter of the concubine in the prince's army, so that's it." ”
"In that case, it is up to Madame to dispose of it." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ah Xiu's face, "Is this lady still angry?" ”
Ah Xiu sneered and said: "What's the use of me being angry, Zhilan is pregnant now, Yizhen is about to give birth, and now the unborn children have an older sister, you are careful that the two of them ask you is serious!" ”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face flushed after being robbed by himself, Ah Xiu couldn't help but soften his heart again: "That's it, it's almost the New Year, you can go back to the house a few more times to appease a little bit." The soldiers in the army should also take turns to rest after a year of war. (To be continued.) )
