Chapter 197: Seeking a Son
Inside and outside the door, a group of people are about to commit embarrassment!
This is very different from the scene of men and women huddling together they imagined! It's so spicy!
For a while, the expressions on many people's faces were distorted into an abstract beauty because they wanted to change.
Gao Ting's mother, the Duchess of Zhenguo, looked at her neatly dressed and smiling daughter sitting on the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked towards the bed with a happy face.
The old girls who followed behind saw that there was no big drama to watch, so they said hello and left. Only another young dignified woman and a delicate little lady who had just pushed the door were left.
The little lady's eyes were full of disbelief, her eyes circled around the house, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes when she saw that there was really no place for hiding. It's a pity that she was allowed to escape!
Gao Ting looked at Qian Xiaoru's watch and was very disappointed, she was really blind, she thought she was a friend, but she didn't expect it to be a poisonous snake hidden by her side. If it weren't for Mrs. Liu's rescue today, her life would be over.
Gao Ting looked straight at Qian Xiaoru, and asked in a faint voice, "Sister Qian, what are you looking for?" ”
Seeing that everyone else in the room looked at her, Gao Ting's mother Liu's eyes were even more hateful, Qian Xiaoru clenched the handkerchief in her hand and replied with a smile: "Sister Gao is wrong, since my sister is fine, my sister will go to find her sister-in-law." After speaking, Qian Xiaoru said goodbye to everyone in a beautiful and natural manner, and left.
Gao Ting watched Qian Xiaoru disappear directly, turned her head to look at her mother and happily introduced Du Xiaoxi.
"Mother, this is the nephew and daughter-in-law of the head of the household Liu, the wife of the county magistrate of Hongxing County, Mrs. Liu, today's matter is thanks to Mrs. Liu's help."
Liu looked at Du Xiaoxi with gratitude, stepped forward to hold her hand and thanked her again and again: "Today's matter is thanks to Mrs. Liu, thank you very much for the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
Liu solemnly bowed to Du Xiaoxi, Du Xiaoxi hurriedly avoided the side, and said again and again: "Madame is too modest, I just came to ask if there is hot water, Gao Niangzi is good at talking, we just talked for a while." I saw that the water was coming, so I took my leave! ”
The little star arched in Du Xiaoxi's arms, reminding Du Xiaoxi, a mother, to treat her son badly.
Du Xiaoxi said this and picked Gao Ting cleanly, and Liu was even more grateful, and sent Du Xiaoxi to the door.
Du Xiaoxi walked back to the opposite side with her son in her arms, and Chunxing, who was carrying water, and Madder, who came back at some point, were already waiting by the door.
After thanking Chunxing, Madder carried the bucket into the room, then closed the door and went to the bathroom to prepare something.
Du Xiaoxi scrubbed it, looked at the little star who was impatient to swallow a lot, and hurriedly patted him on the back.
After serving the little ancestor to eat, Du Xiaoxi cleaned up and planned to go back to find the eldest aunt.
Madder opened the door and saw the dignified woman who had just been with the Liu family standing by the door, and hurriedly bowed and retreated to let Du Xiaoxi out.
"Our master is Mrs. Shizi of the Ming Palace, and Mrs. Xunliu has something to discuss." The old lady standing next to the dignified woman explained.
A trace of doubt flashed in Du Xiaoxi's eyes, and he hurriedly curtsied and said, "Princess Da'an!" ”
The princess smiled and said, "Mrs. Liu is very polite. ”
is obviously a beauty, but she always wears a face, and even smiles with a mask.
As soon as she entered the house and sat down, the old lady glanced at the madder standing beside Du Xiaoxi, and stepped forward with a loving face: "Let's go and bring some snacks and hot tea to the masters." ”
Madder glanced at the little star in Du Xiaoxi's arms with pink handkerchiefs and purring eyes, and shook her head.
This is an idle person, etc., leave quickly?
Du Xiaoxi's eyes were even more puzzled, and he said very uninterestingly: "It's okay, I'm not thirsty or hungry, don't bother the old lady!" ”
The princess and the old lady were stunned, and the old lady glanced at the princess and stood behind her.
The princess still had a smile on her face, and said straight to the point: "Asking to see Mrs. Liu today is really something to ask for. ”
Seeking each other?
The princess begged Mrs. County Order?
Du Xiaoxi didn't speak, and waited for the following.
"I heard that the Buddhism of Master Xile is boundless, and the old lady in the house has eaten fasting and recited Buddha for many years, and he likes to ask Zen with the monks. The Master of Joy does not ask about the world, and it is difficult to find him. Therefore, I hope that Mrs. Liu can introduce her. ”
Oh! Find Master!
Du Xiaoxi has never interfered in Master's affairs, if she agrees today, she will definitely have a steady stream of trouble, not to mention that she is now a person with a sect, if this family and her senior brother are not in the same faction, wouldn't she be a pit for her own senior brother.
Du Xiaoxi looked at the princess with an apologetic face, and said apologetically: "Master said that I don't want to interfere with other people's fate, and I can't help the princess in this matter!" ”
The princess was stunned, looked at Du Xiaoxi quietly, and then left.
Du Xiaoxi beckoned Madder to find her aunt.
The big drama has passed a few times, the old lady has long since left, and most of the people present here are the masters who really like to listen to the play. The eldest aunt didn't have much to see Du Xiaoxi coming back, and she didn't wait to inform the housekeeper, so she took Du Xiaoxi back to the house.
When the two of them left the Ming Palace, they saw that the uncle of the Liu family and Liu Yao were already waiting, and when they saw that they finally came out, they hurriedly stepped forward.
The uncle glanced at the little star, who was already asleep, and beckoned the groom who was driving the car to come over.
Du Xiaoxi took the child and the eldest aunt into the car, and Liu Yao and the uncle rode in front of the group and slowly drove towards home.
Du Xiaoxi put the little star on the couch and gently patted him to tell him about Gao Ting.
The eldest aunt obviously didn't expect Du Xiaoxi to encounter this kind of pickled dirty thing, and was deeply glad that nothing happened, and then reprimanded: "You kid can't move forward in the future, if that person is tall and strong, and his martial arts are strong, have you ever thought about whether Xiaoxing will be hurt?" Not anymore! ”
Du Xiaoxi nodded again and again, she is not a biological mother, and she must ensure the safety of her son before doing things.
The eldest aunt then said, "However, this is also a good fate. General Zhenguo used to be quite important to the emperor, but unfortunately he was cut on the battlefield a few years ago, and then he was named General Zhenguo by the emperor and raised in Beijing. Their house and our house are still related. Your fifth sister is married to the nephew of Liu's mother's family. As for today's matter, it is probably related to the prince's choice of concubines, I heard that the mother of the eighteenth prince fell in love with the daughter of the general of Zhenguo's family, and the little lady who wanted to come to this Qian Mansion had a different mind. ”
The eldest aunt made the relationship between several families clear to Du Xiaoxi, and repeatedly told Du Xiaoxi not to be reckless in the future.
Du Xiaoxi nodded again and again, waiting for the eldest aunt to say enough, and then talk about the princess of the Ming Palace.
"The princess in the Ming Palace's mansion wanted to see the master, but I pushed her back." Saying that, Du Xiaoxi complained in a low voice, "I said that it was the princess, I don't know who the surname is?" ”
The eldest aunt heard a trace of regret on her face when she heard the princess looking for it, looked down at the sleeping little star, and laughed again.
"King Ming is the younger brother of the same age as the saint today, and he has been obsessed with horses since he was a child, and he has lived freely because of this. King Ming has two sons, the son of the line two, it is said that the son of the world is weak and sickly, but now there is only one sick and crooked little lady. Most of the other offspring were frail and sickly and died young. I think it was the princess who wanted the master to think of ideas and bless them to be able to give birth to healthy heirs. ”
The two of them soon arrived home after talking.
The old lady and Liu Erye were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw them coming back, the two of them rushed over to look at the little star that Du Xiaoxi was hugging.
"Good boy! I want to die too grandma! ”
The old lady walked all over and shouted, and when she approached, she saw that the little star was sleeping and hurriedly turned off her voice. Then he whispered to Du Xiaoxi: "Hold me, I'll take you to sleep!" ”
Du Xiaoxi smiled and excused herself, "Grandma or me, right?" The little star wakes up to feed, or she is sure to cry. ”
The old lady hesitated and gave up holding the child, and couldn't help but reprimand Du Xiaoxi, "Why don't you put it back in the house quickly, it's so uncomfortable to sleep!" ”
Saying that, he urged Du Xiaoxi and slowly walked towards Liu Yao's yard.
After waiting for a long time, Xiaoxing woke up from a full sleep, and the old lady saw the obedient crying spirit thief before reluctantly leaving.
On the second day, Liu Yao got up early in the morning and rushed back to Hongxing County.
Du Xiaoxi and Xiaoxing were left to stay for a few days.
In the morning, Gao Ting's mother took the first two with heavy gifts and thanked them before leaving.
In the afternoon, Du Xiaoxi heard a gossip when he was basking in the sun in the yard with his son, it is said that yesterday's birthday banquet of the old lady of the Ming Palace, there was a fat man who didn't know what was going on, and this lustful fat man ran to the place where the woman went to the toilet to do something wrong, but was knocked unconscious by the toilet.
Gardener A: Stealing chickens and touching dogs, watching other women's hands untie! This fat man must be a demon in the skin of splashing!
Gardener B: It must be for money! Even if you see the meat, if you have a birthmark or something, you can make money by blackmailing! What a scheming fat-boy!
Gardener C: Isn't it a hip fetish?
Gardener: I'm curious, how many did the fat man see before he was knocked out?
Du Xiaoxi sat in the gazebo, listening to the gardeners gathered outside talking brightly, "Why did the fat man faint in the toilet?" He glanced approvingly at Madder, who had a calm face.
Good job! Reward!
Throwing a man into the women's toilet is a scheming girl.
After living in the house for a few days, seeing Liu Yao getting up early and rushing back and forth every day, the old lady was distressed and directly beckoned Du Xiaoxi back to Hongxing County.
Liu Yao hugged his daughter-in-law and son at night and smiled with satisfaction, and no longer had to sleep on the cold bed! Sure enough, the bitter meat plan is the best!
……
The Wood Thieves soon had news!
After more than a month of secret investigations, I finally found out who stole the wood!
Cheng Xiong stood at the bottom and reported to Liu Yao how they had pierced the stolen wood.
"We walked down the river, found a few old fishermen, confirmed that there were indeed people who drove downstream at night without drying wood, and finally found that the Tobu Shangshu Qian Mansion was renovating the grange. Then we went on a secret look, and found that the owner of the Grange had used freshly cut wood to replace some old wood in the carpenter's shop to build the house. My lord, are we going to arrest someone? ”
The county order of flowing water, the official of iron.
Both Cheng Xiong and Gao Xiancheng are locals of Hongxing County, and if there is no accident, they have spent their lives in the yamen.
As for the county order on the mountain, whether it is good or bad, they really don't care! Anyway, you have to get out of the way in the end!
The uncle of the current county order is the head of the household department, and it turned out that the person who stole the things was the head of the household department! I'm really curious, what will the prefectural magistrate do?
Is it for the common people to uphold justice and tear the face of Qian Shilang and make the uncle suffer? Or just hold it back and tell those people that they can't find the thief?
Liu Yao frowned, the big families wouldn't want to lose face for a few dozen taels of silver, I think it was mostly done by the minions in private!
After collecting the few pieces of evidence that Cheng Xiong brought back, Liu Yao went to rest first with Gao Hunting and his party.
On the second day, Liu Yao went straight to Kyoto with several pieces of evidence and He Yang.
The uncle was in the yamen, and there was only one aunt in the family, Liu Yao, who was not easy to disturb, so he directly found a teahouse not far from Qian Shilang's house and sat down and waited for someone.
Towards noon, I ate a small half plate of refreshments, and finally waited for Qian Shilang, who was riding home for lunch.
"Hongxing County Commander Liu Yao begs to see Lord Qian!"
The porter of the Qian Mansion was very well-informed, and when his eyes rolled, he remembered who Liu Yao was, and he was busy smiling and welcoming Liu Yao into the room next to him, so that someone went to say goodbye.
However, why did this county order come up?
Qian Zhaode was about to eat after freshening up, and when he heard that Chief Liu's nephew had come to him, he was even puzzled. But I still hurriedly swallowed a bowl of soup to meet someone.
"Xiaguan Hongxing County ordered Liu Yao to meet your lord!"
Qian Zhaode waved his hand, "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, what's the urgency at this time?" ”
Running over at the time of eating, there must be something!
Liu Yao shook his head, "It's because the adults are busy with affairs, and the lower officials are afraid of missing the adults, so they come here at this time." ”
Qian Zhaode nodded and motioned for Liu Yao to say something.
"I heard that the grange in the Lord's Mansion is being renovated, but is there such a thing?"
Could it be that something happened to the grange in Hongxing County? Qian Zhaode was puzzled and replied: "Exactly, my mother suffered from the cold in the flood, and I heard that the farmer's soil kang had a good effect, so I planned to renovate the grange in Hongxing County, and my mother occasionally went to live for some time." ”
Liu Yao continued: "Some time ago, there were many cases of theft of trees in villages under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government, and after some investigation, it was found that it was the people in the grange on the lord's mansion who stole wood to build houses. The timber was used by the people for their funeral, and I hope that the adults will have mercy and return the timber to them, or compensate them with some money. ”
After Liu Yao finished speaking unhurriedly, Qian Zhaode's face changed, and finally he couldn't bear to slap the table and open the door.
"What a dog minion! Knowing that it was specially built for the happiness and health of his mother, he dared to use coffin wood! It's really annoying old man! ”
Qian Zhao was angry and didn't care about Liu Yao's presence and scolded again and again, and shouted to the housekeeper to quickly arrest the director of the grange!
He Yang stood behind his young master, his eyes blinking.
In those villages, wood was used to burn firewood to build houses, make furniture, make dowries, and buy longevity materials. The young master is said to be the most unlucky longevity, and it is no wonder that the squire is going crazy!
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, although this ugliness was exposed by Liu Yao.
Qian Zhaode took a deep breath and smiled amiably at Liu Yao, "Today's matter is thanks to the virtuous nephew who came to tell me, if it is true, it will be returned to the original owner." If the mother knew that she was afraid that her condition would worsen, she hoped that the virtuous nephew would take care of it and not let everyone know about it. ”
Liu Yao naturally nodded yes, the main purpose was achieved, Liu Yao didn't stay long, and immediately left.
