Qi Jinzhi's face was full of sadness when he said these words, and Zhou Shuying also wept silently.

Old Madam Xie was furious when she heard this, and she coughed angrily: "Cough, cough...... It's all our incompetence that makes the people of Yandi live in dire straits. ”

Qi Tongsuo was really angry, and clenched his fists: "Grandma, what do you call this?" How are we incompetent? Don't you have to put the life of the whole family on the line for a faint king? It is true that our Xie family is loyal to the country, but the king has no way, so we have no way to serve the country, so we are not to blame. ”

Qi Jinzhi thought of what he had seen and heard along the way from Zhenting Mansion to Chang'an City, and he was also full of anger: "What the third child said is, Grandma Xie, when there is no way today, Beiliang did not send a single soldier, and directly cut the land to pay compensation, that is, we have the heart to serve the country, but there is no way, this is not to blame you, nor the Xie family, let alone the tens of thousands of soldiers in our big week, only to blame His Majesty." ”

"Nonsense." Old Madam Xie frowned: "No matter what the king does, he will not allow his subordinates to criticize him, don't say these words in the future." ”

Qi Jinzhi didn't say anything, Qi Tongsuo glared, and didn't say anything when he saw Old Madam Xie's pale face.

Old Madam Xie coughed again: "Okay, don't talk about this, big lady, it's okay for our family to be locked up in the house, you will often come and go in the future, accompany me to talk to the third child of your family, if there is anything new outside, also talk to us." ”

"Okay." Qi Jinzhi agreed, and talked with Mrs. Xie for a while, and then a girl came over and said that the guest room and everything were ready, and asked Qi Jinzhi if he wanted to rest for a while.

Qi Jinzhi got up and was about to leave, when Old Madam Xie suddenly remembered something: "What about your kid?" Why didn't you look at it? ”

Qi Jinzhi smiled: "I played crazy with his little aunt on the road, no, I have to live with his little aunt's house for a few days, I can't say anything, so I have to put it in Xiuying's house first." ”

"Take it over in a while, I'll also take a look at the junior child, and also call the copper lock to meet the nephew." Old Madam Xie smiled and asked, and when Qi Jinzhi agreed, she urged her and Shuying to go to the guest room to rest.

Qi Jinzhi and Zhou Shuying arrived at the guest room, the two asked the girl to come over with hot water, washed her hands and face first, changed her clothes, and sat in front of the stove to bake her hands, Zhou Shuying asked Qi Jinzhi in a low voice: "Brother ±∧ dǐng±∧diǎn±∧ Xiao ±∧ said, .±.o♂s_ (); Sister, do you want to tell Mrs. Sù about the Northern Liang people digging up the grave of General Xie? ”

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly shook his head: "Don't, if you really want to say it, the old lady is afraid that she won't be able to survive." ”

"If we don't talk about it, the old lady doesn't necessarily don't know." Zhou Shuying said softly: "Sooner or later, you have to know." ”

Qi Jinzhi pulled her: "It's better to be late than early, the old lady and the old general have a deep affection, if you know that the old general can't live in peace under Jiuquan, maybe something will happen, now the copper lock body is bulky and looks like the New Year is about to be born, this node is in the bones, if you can live in peace, you can live in peace." ”

Zhou Shuying thought about it, so she agreed, and then said, "Brother and sister, you said this Beiliang...... Alas, let's see the opportunity quickly, and hurry up when Beiliang didn't arrive in Yanzhou, otherwise, our family may not know what will happen. ”

Qi Jinzhi thought of the fate of many people in Qijiazhuang who were unwilling to leave their hometowns, and he also sighed, his face full of resentment: "This is also helpless, who wants to wander around, isn't it forced to do anything." ”

Thinking that a few little ladies in the village who got along well all called the Beiliang people to ruin to death, Zhou Shuying was sad again, wiped her tears and said: "It's okay to be on the side, even the big girls and little daughters-in-law in our Lotus Town have suffered, our Lotus Town specializes in beauties, which are all famous, and Beiliang also knows that as soon as he took over Yanzhou, he didn't know how many people went to Lotus Town, and all the women in the town who had been gone were robbed." ”

Qi Jinzhi was also sad for a while, got up and went to the table to get a pen and paper: "I'll write a letter to the fourth child, tell him that we have arrived in Chang'an, tell him not to worry about it, and then tell him about the affairs of Yanzhou." ”

"What makes the difference between saying it and not saying it." Zhou Shuying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "As long as it is a day today, how many loyal ministers and good generals are not dǐng." ”

Suzhou Anjun Palace.

In the warm pavilion, the wives and grandmothers of all families ate and drank wine, and after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qi Baobox proposed to do something about righteous learning, and when she mentioned it, others responded.

The one who supported Qi Bao Box the most was Fan Wu, she put down the cup and said solemnly: "This is a good thing, you have to have my share, I will give a thousand taels of silver first, if it is not enough, I still have it here." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I'll take care of Mr.'s business." ”

Mrs. He also said: "I will go out of the house of Yixue." ”

As soon as these three said, the people around them also said how much silver they would give, or they would provide tables and chairs, and they would supply books for righteousness.

In the end, Yun Yao saw that everyone was talking about it, and said with a smile: "I don't care about it, if I want to run a righteous school, I am afraid that it will not be possible if there are fewer books, I want to build a library in our Suzhou, all the children who are studying in Yixue, or the gentleman who teaches can go to the library to read books for free, and the students next to me can read it if they want to, or help copy books, or help do some chores." ”

"That's good." Qi Baohua clapped his hands and chuckled: "We have few students in Suzhou, there are few high-ranking families, and there are few tired books of all kinds, if the fourth sister-in-law can build a library with complete books, it will be a great achievement." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled again: "That's it, the library is also my share, and I will also contribute." ”

In this way, everyone discussed the charter, and received their own work, and it was happy to sit together and talk and laugh.

A few younger wives saw that Qi Baobox persuaded others to drink, but she didn't drink much herself, so they joined forces to pour Qi Baobox, and only after pouring two glasses of wine, they saw a girl from the Anjun Wangfu hurriedly running to Qi Baobox and whispered: "Princess, the prince is angry in the study, and smashed the table, no one dares to approach the study, and the housekeeper calls the princess to come over." ”

Although the girl's voice was small, everyone heard it, and they were all shocked, thinking that something big might happen.

These wives and grandmothers are all going through things, and they all have scheming city governments, and they all got up and smiled and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Yun Yao dragged Qi Bao Bottle, and the two of them also smiled and wanted to leave, only saying that it was cloudy outside, and it would snow in a while, so it was better to go earlier, and it would be difficult to walk on the snow road in case of snow.

Fan Wu, who was clever, naturally had to leave, Qi Baobox hurriedly asked someone to send them out, and after sending these people away, Qi Baobox went to the study with a gloomy face.

Approaching the study, I heard the sound of Han Xin smashing things in the house from afar, and then looked, there were many servants standing in the courtyard, and they didn't dare to come out in fright.

When they saw Qi Bao Box coming, those subordinates were all relieved and looked at Qi Bao Box with gratitude.

Qi Baobox took a few steps over, called the housekeeper and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The housekeeper used to say softly: "The prince received a letter from Yanzhou, only saying that Yanzhou was ceded to Beiliang, and the people of Yanzhou are now ......."

The housekeeper simply told Qi Baobox about the current affairs in Yanzhou, and said: "It is said that those people in Beiliang also dug up the grave of General Xie, and His Majesty also knew about it, probably because he was afraid that the Xie family would know that something was going on, so he actually sealed the Xie Mansion, and now the people of the Xie family are not allowed to walk around in Chang'an City, for fear that something will happen to Old Madam Xie after she finds out." ”

Qi Baobox was also extremely angry when she heard this, but what made her most angry was Han Xin's behavior.

She waved her hand: "Alright, you all stand down." ”

The housekeeper immediately led his subordinates out quickly, and Qi Baobox walked to the door of the study, pushed the door and entered.

Just when I went in, I saw a vase smashed into the cloth, Qi Baobox reached out and caught the vase steadily, and found a place to put it down, she walked towards Han Xin, while helping the stool that had been kicked down, picking up the book that was thrown on the ground, and piling up the smashed things on the side.

When Qi Baobox walked up to Han Xin, he saw that his eyes were red, he looked very helpless, and he was soft-hearted.

Qi Baobox gritted his teeth, kicked the smashed table aside, stretched out his hand, grabbed Han Xin's collar and dragged him to him: "You are so diǎn ability?" Do you have nothing to do but know how to vent with things? ”

Seeing that Han Xin didn't speak, Qi Baobox said angrily: "Also, your twelve princes are rich now, and you can afford to smash them completely, there are still good ones to smash these, what is there to feel sorry for, if you didn't come to Suzhou earlier, I'm afraid you can't smash it if you want to." ”

"What do you know...... Han Xin called Qi Baobox angry, and struggled hard: "You know everything, you haven't suffered such humiliation, you were born with the love of your parents, and the help of your brothers and sisters, Ding Diǎn has not suffered grievances, how can you understand my thoughts?" My mother told those women to toss to death, my sister, my sister died without a whole body, I can only watch, I can't see a diǎn way, and now that faint gentleman has put the people of Yanzhou in fire and water, I can only watch, I can't even say a word for the people of Yanzhou, I can't do it, I can't ......"

As soon as Qi Baobox let go, Han Xin fell to the ground, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it to Qi Baobox: "Look at it." ”

Qi Baobox picked it up and took a look, and his face turned pale when he landed, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his hands were clenched tightly, and his teeth creaked.

It turned out that the piece of paper was actually a will from Chang'an City, asking Han Xin to pay tribute to ten strange stones in Chang'an, which was limited to be delivered before the year, if it was not delivered, Suzhou would pay tribute to ten thousand miles of horses, 300,000 taels of silver and 20 beauties......

"Bastard." Qi Baobox finally scolded angrily: "Sure enough, faint." ”

The will is that it is ten strange stones, as if it is not very difficult, but as long as it is not clear to the people of Suzhou, it is clearly embarrassing.

Chang'an didn't want strange stones at all, he deliberately wanted to make Suzhou, which was already poor, even poorer, and it couldn't be that Emperor Chengping didn't want to make Han Xin comfortable and comfortable, so he deliberately gave him problems. (To be continued.) )
