Chapter 287: Listen to the Order
When the holy decree arrived in Yunhang Mansion, a good show was being staged in the Jiuqu Corridor of the Spring Pavilion of the Xifei Lake Female Study. The challenge competition initiated by Xiao Juejue ended with Xiao Juejue withdrawing from the martial arts test and taking the additional examination.
Xiao Juejue lost, according to her agreement with Zong Zhengke, she not only had to quit Xifeihu Girls' School and never take the exam again, but also lost 200,000 taels of silver, and the most important thing was to kowtow to Wang Qingzhao's portrait three times.
King Rin's funeral has been solemnly completed, and Xiao Juejue has no reason to prevaricate. Moreover, because Zong Zhengke assisted Xiao Kun in taking charge of the affairs of Xifu, Xiao Hongluan had to temporarily endure after several provocations but suffered losses, and ordered his daughter to complete the gambling contract with Zong Zhengke.
Xiao Juejue didn't dare not go. Zong Zhengke's poison is very powerful, if there is no antidote, she will suffer the pain of burning her heart and bones every seven days. On top of that, her face was so ruined by the poison that she could only regain her appearance by taking an antidote.
Mrs. Xiao spoke, asking Zong Zhengke to completely detoxify Xiao Juejue. Zong Zhengke's condition is that Xiao Juejue wants to complete the gambling contract in front of the female students.
Xiao Langlang and Xiao Yingying's sisters were all temporarily taken into custody, Xiao Junjun had left Yunhang Mansion with her mother and brother, and Xiao Chenchen had not shown up for a long time on the grounds of recuperation, so they didn't want to take their gambling money.
Zong Zhengke smiled and accepted the 200,000 taels of silver sent by Xiao Hongluan, and at the same time said that on this day, Xiao Juejue would kowtow to Wang Qingzhao's portrait. So on this day, Xifeihu Girls' School deliberately took a big vacation to witness Zong Zhengke's unrelenting and rampant behavior.
These ugly gossip rumors were all written by Xiao Xiuru to tell Zong Zhengke, and she was very upset with Zong Zhengke. Just because King Rin died outside Changchun Courtyard, there are rumors that Zong Zhengke bought a murderer. This matter was suppressed by Mrs. Xiao, and the death of King Rin has also been reported in the capital.
Zong Zhengke turned a deaf ear and went his own way. Not to be envied is mediocre. What's more, now those popular candidates to seize the title of princess of Qin have all suffered, and Old Taijun Xiao has also occasionally revealed her words, and seems to be interested in her. It's no wonder she's not hated!
Now Zong Zhengke is very busy, here he has to ask about the physical condition of his grandfather and Li Yi, and he has to help his grandfather take care of the family affairs there. said that it was assistance, but in fact she was completely alone in worrying. Grandpa was very cool. directly threw the head of the family seal letter to her, and he himself only supported her in the background.
For this decision, the elders of the Xiao family in Xifu were not without complaints. But with the strong support of the "recovered" Mrs. Xiao, no matter how many complaints there were, they were temporarily suppressed. The elders have such a thought-you, a little hairy girl who didn't meet the time and grew up in the nunnery, what can you know and manage?!
What happened next. But it made the elders who were going to see the joke dumbfounded.
Yes, Zong Zhengke really has no experience in how to run a huge family, but she has a powerful and terrifying team behind her. Her subordinates, each with their own talents, took over various affairs, and it was not difficult to maintain a smooth and slow transition in a short period of time.
In order to help Zong Zhengke grasp the power of the clan, Xiao Kun also called some of the slaves who had served him for many years from Suyunwu Fort, followed Zong Zhengke, and reminded her of many things.
If it weren't for Zong Zhengke, he wouldn't be concerned about the affairs of the Xiao clan. She can slowly elevate these elders of the Xiao clan and truly hold the Xiao clan of Dongfu in the palm of her hand. But she knows very well that she is not surnamed Xiao, and no matter how hard she spends her efforts, it will be just a void when the time comes.
Old Taijun Xiao just wants to use her and the power of the Buddha Kingdom behind her to ensure that the rear is stable and there is no big mess when Lao Taijun integrates the two mansions. Of course, this favor is definitely not for nothing. The old lady knows it in her heart, and she also knows it in her heart.
Xiao Juejue endured humiliation and hatred, and kowtowed to Wang Qingzhao's portrait. Zong Zhengke asked Muyu to send an antidote pill. For the time being, each other is considered to be two clear. The female students looked at this qiē silently, and occasionally looked at the eyes of the third girl of Zongzheng, with a lot of fear.
The crowd dispersed for a while, and Xu came over. He saluted Zong Zhengke and said, "Girl, the old lady sent someone to pass the word." There is a holy decree in the capital, so let you go and listen to the decree together. ”
Zong Zhengke left Shouchun Garden and rushed to the patrol where Zong Zhengjin stayed. The assassination related to the Great Qi Empire, Zong Zhengke ordered that it should not be publicized to the public. It involves family secrets and is related to foreign countries. Zong Zhengjin has to be cautious about his official status.
Venerable Medicine Buddha gave Zong Zhengjin a full month and a half of conditioning, and Fang left not long ago and returned to the Buddha Kingdom of the East China Sea, and Master Nian Ku still stayed to take care of Zong Zhengke. Now Zong Zhengjin's injury has turned from serious to light, and he can bask in the sun in the yard on a sunny day, barely walking a few steps.
It's hard to say that if you are injured, you can only report illness. Therefore, although he was in office, Zong Zhengjin did not have a director, and he deliberately asked the court to ask for leave. The emperor was sympathetic to the old ministers, and specially sent a fast horse to reply to the recital, so that he could recuperate.
In Jingli, the two elder brothers of Zong Zhengjin also sent old servants to greet them. This time, who arrived with the holy decree, there was also Zong Zhengjin's nephew Zong Zhengyu.
Zong Zhengke came to the warm pavilion of Yi'an Hall, where his grandfather lived, and saw a middle-aged man laughing with his grandfather. She saluted Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng introduced with a smile: "Ke'er, come, this is the second cousin of your uncle's grandfather's family, you call the second uncle." ”
Zong Zheng Ke saluted Zong Zheng Yu Fu and said, "Ke'er has seen the second uncle. ”
Zong Zhengyu nodded again and again, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said with emotion: "Ke'er is so big!" The second uncle still remembers that when you grabbed the Zhou ceremony, you grabbed the jade lion seal of the second uncle in your hand, and you didn't let go. ”
Zong Zhengjin also said a few words with a smile, but Zong Zhengke only listened with a smile and didn't say much. Zong Zhengyu couldn't help but compare her with his daughters and nieces, and praised her calm bearing.
The incense case that greeted the order over there was quickly set up, and the full hall that had recovered from his injuries came to please. The ancestors and grandsons went to the main hall together with Zongzhengyu, and the eunuch was quite kind, and hurried forward to salute Zongzheng first.
Zong Zheng knew this eunuch for a long time, and he couldn't help but have to say a few words. After they had seen each other, and when they had knelt down, the eunuch read the decree.
This will is very brief, which probably means that the Queen Mother's Christmas is coming, and in order to show kindness and compassion, the palace will release a group of palace people, including female officials, eunuchs, and palace maids. Therefore, it is necessary to select girls over the age of ten who have both talent and virtue from the official eunuch family above the fifth rank official, register as a female official, praise the affairs of the queen and the palace, and enjoy the court.
After the three shouts were over, Zong Zheng took the holy decree and offered it to the incense case with his own hands, and settled the eunuch who announced the decree, and the ancestors and grandchildren and Zong Zhengyu returned to the back hall to discuss. (To be continued.) )
