Chapter 272: Jokes
But these maids are all people of the eldest lady, and it is not worry-free to change a batch of new ones, train and buy.
The eldest lady is reluctant to let go of those maids, unless she admits that it is her idea to release Fang's mother, otherwise she can only swallow this dumb loss.
At this moment, the eldest lady hated Fang's mother so much that the root of her teeth itched.
She went to great lengths just to save her life, why should she meddle?!
But those maids, no matter how she can keep them, especially the big maids and the second-class maids.
The eldest lady was thinking about it, but Qingyun dropped a bomb and came out.
"Grandmother, that Taoist priest was taken away by the squire of the criminal department," Qingyun said.
The old lady's face was already blue, and she couldn't find the words to describe it at this time, so she could barely describe it with what she was afraid of.
She was afraid that the Taoist priest would come to the Hou Mansion and be poked out, and if the Taoist priest was still alive, she would have murderous thoughts.
But Qingyun told her that the Taoist priest was not only alive, but he also entered the criminal department!
Those tortures in the Criminal Department, how many hard bones can carry not to say?
Zhou Ziting was also stunned, "The Taoist priest entered the Criminal Department, and the mother of that party bought the words that the Taoist priest came to the Hou Mansion to say, the Taoist priest will definitely recruit them, and it will be ...... by then." ”
Mu Qingrou was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, she dragged the eldest lady's cloud sleeve and said, "Mother, if the Taoist priest is recruited, won't I become the laughing stock of Kyoto?" ”
After speaking, he pointed at Qingyun again, "Why don't you let the secret guard kill that Taoist?!" You are deliberately making the Hou Mansion a laughing stock in Kyoto! ”
Mu Qingrou's righteous words of accusation.
Before Qingyun was angry, the old lady was angry.
The teacup in her hand fell, and the old lady sneered, "It's not Qingyun who makes the Hou Mansion a laughing stock, it's your mother, the head of the Hou Mansion!" I can't even manage the people in my yard well, and my mother will be guided by her life! ”
Qingyun didn't laugh angrily, "Let the secret guard kill the Taoist priest in front of the servant of the Criminal Department, and the fifth sister thinks about it, why do you let the secret guard of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan go to the prison of the Criminal Department for you?" ”
Mu Qing's soft face turned red, and she was anxious. She jumped to her feet in a hurry.
Qingyun looked at Mu Qingjudo, "I asked the secret guard to find the Taoist priest, not to find out Mother Fang and make you a laughing stock in Kyoto." is to protect him from being killed, even if this is done by Fang's mother, but she is no longer from the Hou Mansion, what are you so worried about? ”
Zhou Ziting heard this, and shook her shoulders unkindly. She tried to endure and said, "The third cousin is right, Mother Fang is a person who has died a long time ago, and the deed of sale has been ruined, even if she is alive, she is not from the Hou Mansion, and what she does has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion." ”
That's true, but no one is stupid.
Mother Fang, a person who should have been killed with a cane, was alive and well, and she served her former master everywhere. Which of these twists and turns does not understand?
There are a lot of jokes.
Just thinking about it, I heard the maid report, "The old lady, the third old lady and the eldest lady are here." ”
The old lady immediately had a pain in her head.
Outside, the third old lady stepped in, and when she saw a room of people, her face was not very good, she raised her eyebrows and said. "It seems that you all know what happened in the Criminal Department?"
The old lady's heart sank again, and she couldn't wait to knock the third old lady away.
The third old lady walked over and said with a smile. "Yesterday, the maid came to the Hou Mansion to deliver things, and I heard that the Taoist priest said that the Hou Mansion was going to produce a queen, and it may be Qingrou, I am still happy for the Hou Mansion, and I plan to come to congratulate me today, after all, the Taoist Ruoyao County Lord said that it would work. That's a matter of nine out of ten, who wants to go out, I met the old lady, and said a few words, the old lady immediately frowned and asked me not to come, saying that now many people in Kyoto know that the Taoist priest was bought by the Hou Mansion, in order to marry the fifth girl to the second prince ....... ”
The old lady's face turned red and purple, and she changed in turn.
Mu Qingrou gritted her teeth and didn't let the tears flow.
How happy she was yesterday, how much she hates today.
I hate Fang's mother, I hate Taoist priests, but I hate Qingyun more often.
Hates Qingyun for many things, shakes out the Taoist priest and cheats, otherwise she will only be envied, and will not become a laughing stock.
The old lady didn't speak, and the eldest lady said, "The Hou Mansion has not bought the Taoist priest, it is Mother Fang's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion!" ”
The third old lady smiled.
The smile seemed to say: You said that this is useless, everyone thinks that it was bought by the Hou Mansion, and hundreds of people from the Hou Mansion jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.
The atmosphere in the room was wonderful, and no one spoke.
Until Hou Ye entered the house, Hou Ye's face was black, as if he had just come back from digging a coal mine.
When he entered the room, he said coldly, "Who can sue me, why are there several ministers laughing at me behind my back today, saying that I want to be the future ruler and want to go crazy?!" ”
Hou Ye was so angry that no one dared to speak.
But Mrs. Mu smiled and explained to Hou Ye very "kindly".
Hou Ye heard that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, his hands tightened, and he heard the crunching of bones.
The eldest lady stood close, God knows how afraid she was that the Hou Ye would not be able to help but reward her with a punch.
She said in a trembling voice, "I, I can ask Mother Fang to go to the Criminal Department to clarify ......." ”
Hearing the eldest lady say this, Hou Ye had a thought in his heart: divorce his wife.
How can a woman who is stupid like this be the wife of the Hou Mansion, if she doesn't get rid of her, the Hou Mansion will be played by her sooner or later!
Not only did the Hou Ye think so, but when the old lady heard this, the two words that flashed in her head were also divorced from her wife.
The eldest lady asked Fang's mother to go to the criminal department to clarify, it was clear that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, she was afraid that others would not know how much Fang's mother listened to her, right?!
"As soon as I made such a fuss, my Hou Mansion didn't know that it would be laughed at for decades, if it was impeached by the imperial history and the historian was written into the annals of history, I am afraid that it will be stinking for 10,000 years......."
As soon as the old lady's words fell, a small servant outside came in and said, "Master Hou, it's not good, someone threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in front of the Hou Mansion!" ”
"What man, so bold?" Hou Ye said with heavy eyebrows.
The little guy hurriedly replied, "It's just some Diao people, I heard that the Hou Mansion is playing tricks, borrowing the mouth of the Taoist priest, seeking the position of the emperor and queen, and I feel that the Hou Mansion is not right, so I came to throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and said that if the Hou Mansion is really a queen, it is really not long-sighted." ”
Hou Ye listened, his fists clenched, and he slapped the table fiercely.
A good rosewood chair was photographed in an instant, and many maids shook their bodies in fright.
Rao is Qingyun was also shocked.
Hou Ye slapped the table, stood up, shook his sleeves and left.
The eldest lady hesitated for two seconds. I followed along.
She had to explain to the people outside, or her daughter would really not be able to get married.
If you want to say who is the most calm and relaxed in the Hou Mansion, there is only Qingyun.
She has been betrothed, and she has been given a marriage by divine decree. Zhennanhou likes her, even if these gossips are hard to hear, it will not affect her.
But the others are different, although 90% of the ladies in Kyoto want to be queens and princesses, but they are not inferior enough to cling to the royal family. Do not hesitate to play such a trick.
If the Hou Mansion spends a little bit of silver and borrows the mouth of the Taoist priest, the prince will look at it and carry a sedan chair to marry, and they will vomit blood.
And the family is high in face, marrying a wife and a virtuous woman, marrying a girl with a clean reputation as a wife, but no one will marry a lady who writes the dragon and the phoenix on her face.
If this matter is not settled, Mu Qingrou and the others want to marry well, unless that person really has to marry her. Otherwise, we can only hope that the sun will come out of the west.
Qingyun's face was as usual, and Zhou Ziting was a little ugly, but it was not obvious.
After all, she is just a cousin of the Hou Mansion, and her surname is Zhou.
She is going to marry from the Zhou family, as long as the reputation of the Zhou family is not so bad, it is no problem for her to marry a similar family.
Besides, the eldest lady, who did she go to the front yard with.
Far away, I smelled rotten eggs.
She covered her nose and walked forward.
The rotten eggs continued to fly, and Hou Ye was agile and easily dodged.
But the eldest lady can't hide from it.
One foot stepped out of the Hou Mansion, and then a rotten egg came to you......
Then. The eldest lady has one foot on the outside and one foot on the inside.
The rotten egg smashed at her, and she leaned back, trying to change to a normal place. She won't fall either, but she's in a special position.
No, the rotten egg directly knocked down the eldest lady.
The one who fell was a miserable one.
Hou Ye was stunned.
Those people outside the Hou Mansion were also frightened, if they threw rotten eggs and injured Mrs. Hou, none of them would be able to escape.
And then. A very abrupt voice said, "She's pretending!" ”
As he spoke, he threw another rotten egg.
A group of people began to scold again, "It's not enough to buy a Taoist priest, it's really shameless to pretend to be weak!" ”
Looking at the oncoming rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, Hou Ye couldn't wait to beat someone while dodging.
But he is a dignified prince, how to see the same as the poor people who have no power to bind the chickens and can only throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, even if these people are bold and not afraid of death to provoke.
Hou Ye retreated into the Hou Mansion, and Manager Zhou closed the door, and then pulled the rotten vegetable leaves on his body, complaining bitterly.
The little guy on the side said, "There are two people who are instigating those people, I can see it, why don't you arrest them?" ”
Manager Zhou said helplessly, "You also said that it was he who instigated those people, if he is really arrested, I am afraid that he will call the Hou Mansion to bully people again, and even the court will not dare to commit public anger, how dare the Hou Mansion, you go and follow those two people to see who is behind the Hou Mansion." ”
The little guy nodded again and again.
Hou Ye glanced at the closed door, and the incessant abuse, frowned, and then looked at the rotten egg liquid under the brocade robe, Hou Ye trembled with disgust, and walked back.
As for the eldest lady still fainting, Hou Ye didn't pay attention to it at all.
Walking on the way back to Ling Xueyuan, I heard Lu'er say that the eldest lady was knocked unconscious by rotten eggs, and the smile on the corner of Qingyun's mouth couldn't be stopped.
She deserves to suffer on her own.
But after laughing, Qingyun looked at the sky again.
In the final analysis, she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion is ruined, and she will be more or less implicated.
When she goes out in the back and someone is talking about it in front of her or behind her back, can she not be embarrassed?
Why do you like to be a queen so much, where is it good to be a queen, although the palace is magnificent, but there is no freedom in the end, it is just a beautiful birdcage.
After sighing, Qingyun smiled again, how could Zhennan Hou's Mansion not be a birdcage, thinking that when he left the mansion in the future, he would have to ask Chu Bei, and he would have to ask Mrs. Chu, Qingyun couldn't help but grind her teeth.
Wei Chi hid in the big tree, and when he heard Qingyun and the maid discussing the daughter of the Hou Mansion as the queen, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead.
Yesterday, the Taoist priest said in public that the Hou Mansion had a daughter who wanted to be the queen, and he secretly exclaimed that this Taoist priest had some real skills.
But who would have thought that the Taoist priest was actually bought.
Now that it's like this, the daughter of the Hou Mansion doesn't want to be a queen in her life, isn't this a pit master who changes the law?
If it hadn't been for the arrival of the criminal department's attendant, he would have killed the Taoist priest.
However, it is useless to regret it now.
This rotten situation can only wait for the master to come back and clean it up, and I don't know if the lord has found the eldest prince?
Qingyun walked forward, Qingying couldn't help but ask, "Girl, Mother Fang made her own decision to bribe the Taoist priest to deceive, everyone thinks that the Hou Mansion instructed her to do this, and now the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, the emperor will definitely know, will it degrade the Hou Mansion?" ”
"No," Qingyun shrugged.
The Taoist priest cheated and harmed Princess Ning, and she poked it out.
She is not a fool, she can't guess that the Taoist priest came to the Hou Mansion to say those words that were bribed?
But she still chose to poke it out, and she could be regarded as a righteous annihilation.
For her sake, the emperor will not be angry with the marquis.
However, with his father's temperament, he definitely couldn't stand it and was about to resign and leave Beijing.
As Qingyun guessed, the Hou Mansion bribed the Taoist priests, and the demons confused the public, the government and the opposition were shocked, and many ministers asked the emperor to belittle the Hou Ye.
King Ning looked at the minister with a smile and said, "Do you know who found out the Taoist priest's fraud?" ”
The minister shook his head, "The minister doesn't know, and I ask King Ning for advice." ”
Ning Wang said, "It's the third girl of the Marquis of Anding, the Marquis of Anding has been an official in the court for many years, and he is an upright person, everyone knows it, he can teach such a daughter of Lan Xin and buy a Taoist priest, can he do it?" Even if the Marquis of Anding is not strict and wrong, he should not be demoted. ”
The minister said, "King Ning's words are wrong, the matter of the Marquis of Anding's bribery of Taoist priests has a bad impact, and it will not be punished heavily, if everyone follows suit, wouldn't it be ......." ”
King Ning raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "After this incident, how many people will believe the words of those Jianghu Taoist priests in the future?" ”
The minister was dumbfounded.
Then a minister came out and said, "If you want to talk about fortune-telling, the minister only believes in Master Huijing." ”
Then a bunch of people echoed and said that Master Huijing was the master of the Dao, and the immortal wind and bones were like clouds.
The demotion of the Hou Mansion is over.
The resignation and return to his hometown handed by Hou Ye was also sent back.
Hou Ye didn't have the face to go to court.
The eldest lady fell very badly, and the doctor came to see her and asked her to stay in bed for half a month.
As for the sale of maids...... In the end, it was gone.
Because there was a maid who ran to the old lady's yard and knelt, saying that she had received the favor of Fang's mother, she bought the mercy of the two mothers-in-law, and it was also the doctor she found for Fang's mother to treat her.
She didn't count the mistake on her alone, and she was killed in the old lady's courtyard in public, only begging the old lady to spare the sisters in the red sandalwood courtyard.
The maid's move made the old lady angry enough, but the idea of selling the other maids had to be dispelled.
However, the idea of retiring the eldest lady was even stronger.
Besides, Mu Qingrou, because Fang's mother did bad things with good intentions, she had no place to say anything wronged, so she could only cry in Furou Garden.
The eyes that cried were swollen, and no one comforted her, she was so miserable, who still went to comfort her, they were also anxious to cry!
She was anxious about what outsiders were talking about her, and asked the maid to go out and inquire.
After listening to the maid's advice, I cried again.
I cried on and off for two whole days.
However, on an exceptionally sunny afternoon, things took a turn for the worse.
PS: I wrote more than 4,000 unconsciously, so it's late, sorry ha~~ (To be continued.) )
