Chapter 14: Grizzled and Dirty (Minor Repairs)
Xu family.
When she received Shen Jingfang's letter, Mrs. Xu was still a little puzzled.
If she, a righteous daughter, has something, just let people pass on a message, why write so solemnly?
It can't be a big deal, right?
Mrs. Xu quickly took it apart and looked at it, and after looking at it a few times, she frowned and looked unhappy. She doesn't care so much about her own family, why should she take care of other people's affairs?
However, when she looked down further, her brows furrowed slightly, and she didn't look so mindful. At the end, her eyes had lit up, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
"Go and get the marshal." Mrs. Xu put down the letter and instructed the maid.
After a while, Xu Zhaoting came over.
He is probably the most idle marshal, and since he was in poor health, he has been recuperating at home, and he has no position on him.
Although he felt depressed and sighed all day long, there was still some hope.
Looking forward to the righteous daughter who I value, in order to say a few good words to herself in front of the generalissimo, and give him a real position, even if she promotes her three righteous brothers.
Otherwise, if this continues, how can their Xu family have any status?
In the past, when Shen Jingfang didn't sit firmly in the position of the generalissimo's wife, it was just that, but now, the eldest son has been born, and the generalissimo seems to value her very much, and there are some things that can be done.
"Jingfang has a letter? What did she say? After Xu Zhaoting sat down, he asked.
Mrs. Xu handed him the letter with a smile and said, "It's better for you to read it yourself!" ”
Xu Zhaoting was calm, and after reading it, he didn't make a statement immediately, but frowned, and said, "Just a Qin family, can we spend so much effort to help her?" Although the Qin family is the generalissimo's own sister, as long as the generalissimo doesn't recognize her, she is just a distant relative, what can she help in the future? ”
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "The marshal's words are wrong. The Generalissimo's refusal to recognize her now does not mean that he will not recognize her in the future. It's just because of Mrs. Tai that she refuses to recognize each other so happily. I don't believe that anyone would watch their sister suffer and ignore it. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it is logical to recognize relatives. ”
That's what is missing.
Although she was surprised by Qin Shu's youth, she never thought that she was not the biological mother of Generalissimo Qin. Later, when she learned the news, she was surprised and accepted it very lightly. At the same time, I was secretly happy for my daughter.
Mrs. Tai is just the adoptive mother of the generalissimo, and when facing her daughter-in-law, I am afraid that she will be a little lacking in confidence, and she will probably not put her mother-in-law's money in front of Jingfang. When Jingfang won over the generalissimo's heart, Mrs. Tai's position in the mansion became embarrassing.
What happened later was as she expected, Mrs. Tai really didn't embarrass Jingfang too much, and happily handed over the housekeeping rights.
It's a pity that the generalissimo has been absent from the mansion for several months, and Jingfang has no chance to win him over, until now, the generalissimo is still very filial and respectful to Mrs. Qin.
Now, if my daughter wants to find help, she should be.
Qin Xingniang is just an older sister, and she married again, so there will be no conflict with Jingfang in the future.
When Xu Zhaoting heard this, he was also a little moved, but he was still weighing the gains and losses in his heart.
After a while, he said, "But, won't we offend Mrs. Tai by doing this?" ”
"How is that possible?" Mrs. Xu raised her voice and said, "We are just helping the sisters of a group of generalissimos, how can we offend Mrs. Tai?" Even if she is angry in her heart, on the surface, she will not blame us. The most important thing is the attitude of Generalissimo Qin. ”
It's just that Generalissimo Qin is willing to admit their affection, which is enough.
Xu Zhaoting said: "If the generalissimo really cared about this sister, he would have helped a long time ago, how could it be our turn?" ”
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "The marshal is too worried. Jing Fang said in the letter that this was what Mrs. Tai meant. As soon as Mrs. Tai heard her mention the generalissimo's sister, she became angry and reprimanded her. The generalissimo has always been filial, so naturally he did not dare to explicitly express his help. In his heart, he must still want to help. Jing Fang is the wife of the generalissimo, and she must know his mind better than we do. After so many years, when did Jingfang make a mistake in making a decision? ”
Xu Zhaoting hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to believe Shen Jingfang, sighed and said, "Okay, I'll let the third child come forward to solve this matter." ”
Among the three brothers, only the third Xu Liqing is still a little capable and should be able to solve this matter.
Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction.
As long as this matter is resolved, Jingfang will be happy.
Her promises will definitely be fulfilled one by one.
As a parent, who doesn't want her children to have a good future, she doesn't want her three sons to continue to do nothing.
and Huizhu, there will also be an excellent family business.
There are a lot of young talents under the generalissimo!
In the future, with Jingfang supporting her, she will definitely not be able to suffer.
However, what Mrs. Xu didn't expect was that her son, not only did not do this well, but was beaten half to death.
Those people don't buy his account at all, or rather, those people don't buy the Xu family's account at all.
also blamed Xu Liqing for being too arrogant, relying on his identity, threatening them, and suppressing people with power, from beginning to end, he didn't plan to give money to settle the matter, let alone give them a little sweetness, and promise them some other benefits.
In the end, everyone was furious. These people have roots and power in Yingtian, and they are not ordinary people who have nothing. Although he bowed his head in the form of shì, his arrogance was still there.
It's just that there is no way out, and I heard some news, so I befriended Zhao Cripple, hoping to catch the line of the generalissimo.
Who knows, Zhao Cripple just collects money and doesn't do anything.
Forced to this kind of Cheng dù, the generalissimo still doesn't care about them.
It is enough to see that the generalissimo at all
Suffice it to see that the generalissimo did not pay attention to them at all.
Although, when Xu Liqing came forward, they did feel a little more jealous, after all, they were the generalissimo's wife and uncle, but Xu Liqing was really too deceitful, coupled with the provocation of people with intentions, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they beat him up, and they must not have any scruples about the face of the Xu family.
Not only that, but they also robbed Qin Xingniang's house deed, land deed and land deed, and asked them to redeem it with money, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.
Ying Tianfu also has its own yamen, and Qin Youan chose a local person who is famous and capable, and who took refuge in him as the prefect, and all of them came in accordance with the laws and regulations, but from the laws of Dayan to the laws of the Qin family promulgated by Qin Youan. This is true not only of Yingtian, but of all the territories he occupies.
He had been an emperor and was familiar with this.
These land deeds and the like are naturally red deeds certified by the government.
In fact, if you really want to rob it, you can't rob it without going through the guò government.
Therefore, those people didn't plan to really rob it, they were just putting on a show. But it doesn't mean that they have no way to take Zhao's lame family.
Even Zhao Cripple, because he was affected by Xu Liqing, was beaten by them, couldn't get out of bed at all, and was almost taken away from the house and driven out of the house.
It is said that Qin Xingniang's mother-in-law fainted from crying on the spot.
Qin Xingniang couldn't cry either, she didn't dare to hate these people, but hated Shen Jingfang.
Hates her for deceiving herself and encumbering herself.
obviously didn't have that ability, and vowed to help herself, but as a result, she was not even willing to help them pay for the money, and she also implicated her husband in being beaten.
Obviously, those people said that all they needed was silver.
Isn't it just 20,000 taels of silver, she doesn't believe it, and the Xu family can't take it out.
Shen just said it nicely, but he didn't want to help her at all.
Qin Xingniang went to the door crying and crying that day to find Shen Jingfang Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Shen Jingfang was so upset by her.
After reassuring her, he promised again that he would do his best to resolve the matter.
After finally sending Qin Xingniang away, Shen Jingfang gritted her teeth, she didn't expect her mother's family anymore, she took out gold and silver from her dowry and paid off the debt for Zhao's lame family.
She has a lot of dowry, as well as dowries, as well as antiques and gold and silver that the generalissimo has successively rewarded her, and this bit of silver can still be taken out, and it can't hurt the roots, but she also added a few sets of gold and jade jewelry that she likes.
The matter was eventually settled.
The Zhao family also got back their shops and granges.
It's a pity that what happened before, Qin Xingniang had some complaints about Shen Jingfang, let alone gratitude.
She didn't even come to the door to thank her.
Even if Shen Jingfang is well-cultivated, she is not lightly angry.
She lost all her face, lost her money, and lost the attention of the marshal, but she still didn't get what she wanted, on the contrary, she was hated.
She's grown so big, and she's never been so ashamed!
It's just a loss for the lady and a soldier.
While Shen Jingfang was secretly ashamed, she complained that the Xu family was incompetent, she couldn't do any trivial things, and she was ugly, and even her face was dull.
The whole person is a little cowardly, and can only continue to call himself sick and see no one.
From beginning to end, Qin Shu watched coldly and did not interfere at all.
She has a lot of opinions about Shen Jingfang being sick and being so able to toss.
――It's not because you don't want to continue to kneel, so you deliberately pretend to be sick!
Of course, Qin Shu is not stupid about her motives for doing her best to help Qin Xingniang, and she can guess a few points.
It's just trying to win her over to deal with herself.
In this regard, Qin Shu scoffed even more.
That Qin Xingniang is a pig teammate, whoever is contaminated is unlucky.
I really thought that You'an valued her more!
A sister is tossed like this, if the father comes, I don't know what it will be like?
When the time comes, in her heart, can she still save her mother-in-law?
Qin Shu felt that he couldn't continue to let it go like this.
Since she has made a move against herself, she can't sit still, she must fight back, lest she feel that her mother-in-law is easy to bully, and she will bully her one after another.
Qin Shu made up her mind, so she asked a doctor trusted in the house to see Shen Jingfang, and sent a henchman to visit her to see if she was really sick or pretending to be sick, no matter which one she was, she had a way to treat her.
If it is pretending to be sick, it is the crime of deception, and it is a crime of pretending to be sick to escape punishment, disrespecting and unfilial, and the crime is increased by one degree.
If she is really sick, then she should not be a lady.
The Generalissimo's Mansion does not need a sick and crooked lady.
In this matter, Qin Youan did not make a move on the surface, but he still made a move in private, otherwise, how could those people have the courage to confront the Xu family and snatch the title deed?
He just wanted to borrow their hands and teach them a lesson.
Through this matter, the lame family of Zhao should also know his attitude towards them, and they dare not be demons.
The Xu family should be honest for a while.
He only needs the Xu family to be a relative with no real power, and he doesn't have to think about anything else.
and Shen Jingfang, who really disappointed him too much this time.
She didn't put his words before hearing in her ears. still insisted on going his own way, ignoring his mother's wishes, and insisted on wading into this troubled water.
That's why he was so angry and disappointed.
The feelings accumulated in the previous life are almost exhausted.
Qin You'an gave a death order and did not allow Qin Xingniang to step into the Generalissimo's Mansion one step further.
After soliciting Qin Shu's wishes, Qin Youan temporarily handed over Xu'er to her for upbringing.
As for Shen Jingfang, whether it is punished for kneeling and copying scriptures, or thinking about it behind closed doors, it is all up to her mother.
After a few more days of rain, the rain subsided, and finally the Great Compassion stopped.
It's just a pity that this year's harvest is underway
This year's harvest, despite desperate efforts to rescue, but in many places, the harvest of grain, can be two or three out of the previous two-tenths of the previous thanks.
Fortunately, You'an had the foresight to seize many areas that were less affected by the disaster early, and there was still a lot of grain in stock. It is still not a problem to feed your own army.
The north is even worse, the drought is very severe, and there has not been a drop of rain until now, and there is no grass in the fields. Even in the capital, grain had to be transported from the south.
The passage for transporting grain has long been occupied by the major rebel armies, cutting off the relationship between the south and the north, and the grain cannot be transported, and those people in the capital are in a hurry.
Now, the imperial court can't care about dealing with Fu Jingshan, but is busy wooing "King Ze", planning to recruit him, persuade him to return, and provide food to the capital.
Who made him the richest except for Qi Wu! is not as ambitious as Qi Wu, although the power is great, but it is not to the point of making the court tremble, and there is no deep hatred with the court, it is really a very good object to woo.
Because Pan Heze suffered losses at Qin You'an's hands again and again, and saw Qin You'an's fierceness, he bit him tightly, and he had long hated Qin You'an, and he also hoped to use the power of the court to deal with Qin You'an.
For Pan Heze, Qin You'an was a greater threat to him than the imperial court.
Therefore, in the end, he attached himself to the imperial court and began to supply food to the capital, and when Qin Youan was killed, he would turn against the water.
Qin Youan knew this, but he didn't pay attention to it, he had already sent someone to start raising sweet potato seedlings, planning to try to plant a season of sweet potatoes, and if he planted it at this time, he would be able to harvest it in autumn.
At the same time, He Yunting also left Ezhou by boat.
Her destination is Yingtianfu, her hometown.
She also has a group of masters with her.
It was Song Liangxiu who sent it to her to keep her safe.
She went back this time to persuade the He family to take refuge in Qi Wu.
Let the He family do things for the fifth master.
Because, she knows very well that it is impossible for the He family to move over.
She used to drill the tip of the horns, but in fact, she didn't need to move it at all, and one day, Qi Wuhui would lead the army to capture Yingtian.
