Chapter 232: Thunder (1)
Thank you for the monthly passes~~
Today's first update -
A few muffled thunders in the middle of the night.
Chu Weilin woke up from the dream, slowed down for a while, and her eyes gradually adjusted, before reaching out to touch her pocket watch.
It's past the beginning of the ugly day, that is, the fourth watch.
A few more thunders fell, Chu Weilin faintly heard the cry of the child, she was a spirit, Brother Lin was afraid of thunder, wasn't she scared?
Thinking about it like this, she didn't feel sleepy, Chu Weilin thought lightly, but she was stumbling at night, it was really clear, and Chang Yuyun opened her eyes vaguely.
"What's wrong?" Chang Yuyun asked her.
Chu Weilin put on a coat and said, "I'll get up at night, and you continue to sleep." ”
Chu Weilin took off her shoes and didn't go to the clean room, but went outside, and the water cocoon who was keeping vigil outside also woke up and lit candles.
Chang Yuyun raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and when he heard the sound of thunder and rain, he wanted to turn around, half-squinting and resting.
After a stick of incense, Chu Weilin came back, and there was some moisture on her body.
"Nothing?" Chang Yuyun asked her with a smile.
Seeing that he looked like he knew everything, Chu Weilin didn't make any more excuses, and said, "Mother Fang coaxed and fell asleep." ”
"Children are easy to wake up on thunderstorms, but you are too nervous," Chang Yuyun pulled Chu Weilin to lie down, "Sleep quickly." ”
Chu Weilin answered, blowing some night wind, she was not sleepy at this time, but thinking that Chang Yuyun would go to the government in the morning, she closed her eyes quietly.
Thunderstorms fell early in the morning.
The clouds are low and the sky is dark.
Chu Weilin got up halfway. When I really got to a little bit, I was a little sleepy, so I asked Shui Fu to add a cup of hot tea to clear up.
After the rain, it was slippery and slow, and when I arrived at Songling Hospital, it was a quarter of an hour later than usual, but I happened to meet Da Zhao.
Da Zhao's clothes are extremely plain today, with a duck egg green gown, a brown jacket on the outside, no gold jewelry on his head, and only a jade bracelet on his wrist.
Chu Weilin was surprised. This outfit fell in the eyes of the ancestors. I'm afraid I don't like it, so I took off the brown jacket and caught up with the clothes when I collapsed.
Chu Weilin saluted and followed Da Zhao into the courtyard.
The ancestor had just eaten some goat's milk soup. She slept lightly at night. It was also called thunder and noisy. At this moment, when he saw the Da Zhao family, he even raised his eyebrows: "What?" Are you going back to your parents' house to collapse? ”
These words were squeezed by the ancestors of the Great Zhao clan.
Da Zhao lowered his head and said, "Old Ancestor." The daughter-in-law is going back to her parents' house in a while. Today, it happens to be a year since Ah Xin left. ”
This time, the old ancestor was stunned and muttered, "It's been a year so fast......"
The old ancestor sighed.
She has lived to this age, and she likes the girls to be lively around her the most, and in the past few decades, the maids around her have changed countless times, and the cousins around her are uncountable.
Watching them grow up from an innocent age one by one, after the cardamom, after the meeting, it will be rare to see each other again, and you will also hear some news, marriage, marriage, childbirth, or side news.
There are also a few who are red-faced and withered early.
No matter what happened later, the two sisters of the Zhao family, their ancestors also liked to take care of them in the past, and when Zhao Hanxin was gone, she was also full of emotion.
"Then you go early and add some paper money for me." The old ancestor shook his head and said.
Chu Weilin narrowed her eyes, she also forgot about this day.
The Aunt Zhao in the previous life has been dead for a year in this life.
In the following ten years, the Great Zhao family went to Zhao's house several times.
The old ancestor put up with her for some time, and when he saw that she was going back today, he said angrily: "What is the matter with your mother's house, asking you to run back and forth from time to time with a wife who has been married for decades?" If you don't bother to take care of it, it is better to hand it all over to your younger siblings and daughter-in-law, and you will go back to your mother's house to live for ten days and half a month, when you will live comfortably, and when you will come back. ”
Living for ten days and half a month is not "living", but rushing.
Da Zhao's face turned white, and said: "Ah Yi has a body, and she went back to her parents' house to recuperate, and she is also the ...... I watched."
"What a reason!" The old ancestor slapped the table, "Didn't you get sick a few times before and even forgot the rules?" ”
Da Zhao's face was even more ugly.
These words are not only scolded by the big Zhao family, but even Zhao Hanyi is scolded in it.
When a married woman is pregnant, she is naturally taken care of by her in-laws, where have you heard of going back to her parents' house to raise her body, can't her mother-in-law's family support people?
"Yu Xiao's daughter-in-law sits in a small confinement, you haven't paid attention at all, your nephew's daughter has a baby, but you are going to serve with your eyes," the old ancestor sneered, seeing that the big Zhao family didn't dare to refute half a sentence, she couldn't dissipate the stuffiness in her chest, so she had to say, "Okay, let's explain it today, his Ji family has no manpower, and the Zhao family doesn't have a maid and mother-in-law?" What are you going to join in! I really can't spare people, oh, you go to my table and get a silver ticket, enough to buy ten or eight old women. ”
Da Zhao's face was so red that it could almost drip blood, the words of the old ancestor were like sharp knives, stabbing her so much that she was about to lose her face, but there were still many people in this room, and she couldn't even raise her head to look at Chu Lunxin and Liu's expressions.
When the Great Zhao family left, the Liu family persuaded the old ancestor and said, "What is the matter with the Zhao family......?"
"It's also the Zhao family's business if there is something, and pulling a married aunt is like something!" The old ancestor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to excuse her, I know." In the past two years, there have been a lot of messy things in the long house, and she and Henghan have a lot of trouble, so she wants to find a place to relax. But rules are rules, how can anyone run to his mother's house so diligently? She offered to stay in the temple for about ten days, and I didn't bother her so much. ”
When Liu heard this, it was difficult to persuade him anymore.
The ancestor sent people, leaving only Brother Yi and Brother Lin to accompany her.
Brother Lin had just learned to sit up, and he didn't hold on for a long time, and after a while, he fell crookedly, which made the ancestor a lot happier.
Brother Yi was eating snacks, and Brother Lin saw it and clamored for it. The old ancestor was afraid of choking him, so he didn't ask Brother Yi to give it to his younger brother, so annoyed that Brother Lin held his mouth and wanted to cry.
After coaxing for a while, Brother Lin remembered his toys again, but he didn't care about the snacks, and played with his own thoughts.
Accompanied by the children, the ancestor was a lot of joyful, and instructed Mama Duan: "Let the kitchen add more dishes, and when Yu Yun and Yu Zhao come back, let them come over." Eat at my place at night. ”
Mama Duan smiled and went.
Afternoon. Brother Lin and Brother Yi took a nap together, and the ancestor also went to sleep in the inner room for a while, Chu Weilin didn't want to go back and forth, so she went to the west room to read a book to pass the time.
I am fascinated by it. Outside the hospital, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps. Chu Weilin followed the prestige. The person who came was a mother-in-law with some eyes.
The mother-in-law grabbed Mother Ge and said, "Is the ancestor in the house?" What about Mama Duan? Something big is coming! ”
Mother Ge frightened her, glared and said, "What are you screaming!" Which yard do you have? ”
The woman was in a hurry. But Ge's mother insisted that she understand, so she had to say: "I am the mother-in-law of Gu Dalang, who was in charge of the carriage and horses in front, I want to see the ancestor, something really happens!" ”
Gu Dalang, who was in charge of the carriage and horses, Mother Ge had some impressions, but Gu Dalang's family, she met it for the first time, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you come to the inner courtyard?" Which one let you in? Isn't this a mess? ”
"Oh, my old sister! When is this all the time, where can I still take care of those! Gu Dalang's family was about to cry, "It's the eldest lady who has an accident, no, the eldest lady's mother's family has an accident, and my sister hurriedly said it for me." ”
As soon as she heard that something had happened to the Da Zhao family, Ge's mother had a numb scalp and dragged Gu Dalang's family to the main house.
Chu Weilin also muttered in her heart, put down the book and walked out.
Mother Ge saw Chu Weilin and said, "Fifth grandmother, has the ancestor taken a nap?" ”
"Not up yet." After Chu Weilin finished speaking, she asked Gu Dalang's family, "I heard something just now, what's wrong with the Zhao family?" ”
Gu Dalang's family hurriedly said: "They are all officers and soldiers, and they have been arrested." The slave man saw that the situation was not good, and quickly slipped back to report the news. ”
Chu Weilin was stunned, officers and soldiers? Arrest?
"What about the people of Gu Dalang?" Chu Weilin and Ge's mother said, "I went in to report to the ancestor, and my mother went to call Gu Dalang, and the ancestor will ask for a while." ”
Mother Ge's heart was like a drum, and she listened to the command and nodded busily.
Chu Weilin turned around and went into the house and went straight to the inner room.
The old ancestor woke up, listened to some movements, and asked, "What's wrong outside?" ”
Chu Weilin said: "Gu Dalang's daughter-in-law who was on the horse in front of her came, saying that there was an accident in the Zhao family, and the officers and soldiers were arresting people. ”
The Old Ancestor's eyes suddenly tightened, and he said coldly, "What? As for the people, bring them in quickly. ”
Gu Dalang's family entered the house, she was a mother-in-law in the outer courtyard, and she had never come to the master's house to walk around, but she had already panicked because of the affairs of the Zhao family, and she didn't care about anything else, so she knelt down in front of the ancestor and stammered: "Today is Gu Dalang's mother's house to send the eldest lady back, at noon, he went to the street to buy some candy for his son, and met many officers and soldiers. Gu Dalang hurriedly returned to the outside of the Zhao family, the entire Zhao family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and he couldn't find the eldest wife, so he hurriedly came back to report the news. ”
The old ancestor had a calm face, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist.
Chu Weilin clearly heard the sound of her own heartbeat.
This scene is somewhat familiar to her.
In the previous life, when the Zhao family was imprisoned and confiscated, it was such a pomp.
But Chu Weilin remembered very well that in the previous life, the Zhao family raided the family in September of the twenty-fifth year of Jingde, and now it is clearly the summer of the twenty-third year of Jingde, and there are still two full years to go, how could there be such a big change?
The old ancestor took a few deep breaths, motioned for Chu Weilin to help her up, and asked, "What about Gu Dalang?" ”
"My granddaughter-in-law has already asked Mother Ge to pass him on." Chu Weilin said.
The old ancestor slowly walked back to the east room, and arranged it the same: "First let Brother Yi and Brother Lin go back to their respective courtyards, go and invite Yu Ye to come over, and go to each room to spread a word, and before Henghan and they come back, no one is allowed to go out." Then let someone go to Henghan and ask them to come back quickly. ”
Mama Duan went, the old ancestor leaned on the pillow with a solemn expression, she saw that Chu Weilin also frowned, and asked, "What?" You think I'm being too cautious? ”
Chu Weilin was stunned, and then shook her head: "Daughter-in-law doesn't." Daughter-in-law Sun just thought that if it was really the officers and soldiers who surrounded the Zhao Mansion, no matter how cautious she was, she should be cautious. ”
The Zhao family, compared with the noble family in Beijing, has been much weaker in the past ten years.
The elder brother of the Great Zhao family is the current servant of the Ministry of Officials, in this place in Beijing, it is not enough to be above it, and it is more than enough to be compared to the bottom, the grandfather of the Great Zhao family once worshiped the prince Shaobao, but he died early, and he was not able to continue to shelter his descendants, such a Zhao family, if it was not for any major incident, it would never have caused the officers and soldiers to surround the mansion.
Gu Dalang came soon, he was very frightened today, and his speech was a little trembling.
The rhetoric is basically the same as that of his mother-in-law, only one sentence is added, listening to the lively people, this is not only to arrest people, but also to confiscate.
Unexpectedly, after listening to the words of the Gu Dalang family, the old ancestor guessed that it would develop like this, but he didn't know what the Zhao family had done for a while, and it could fall to this point in the blink of an eye.
Chang Yuye walked in quickly, and Mama Duan didn't explain it when she went to invite him, he hadn't heard anything yet, so she bowed and saluted: "Old ancestor." ”
The old ancestor motioned for Chang Yuye to sit down and said, "You listen slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Chang Yuye responded, but when he heard that something had happened to the Zhao family, and the big Zhao family was also inside, where could he still sit still, he stood up with a bang, and said, "How can this be!" What about the father? Did Father find out? ”
"I can't figure out the news outside for a while, but when your father comes back, I'll know the situation, so you wait patiently." Ancestor Dao.
"But mother......" Chang Yuye said half of his words, and seeing that the ancestor didn't plan to deal with him anymore, he had to stop talking.
The old ancestor pondered, what kind of big sin did the Zhao family commit?
Although it is confiscated, it is also divided into several grades.
However, if it is a deficit, embezzlement, perverting the law by accepting money, or committing the crime of treachery, slandering the left and killing people, cleverly admonishing and exhorting people's hearts, making friends with friends, disrupting the government and other crimes, the crime is not as good as the married sisters, and the people who make livestock cups and drugs can kill people, if they are properly handled, they can also save some family members from being implicated.
The Zhao family, it is not possible to seek a reaction, could it be that he is greedy for money?
Thinking about it this way, it is also the opposite, the elder brother of the Da Zhao family is an official in the Ministry of Officials, and he may have been contaminated with something.
Chu Weilin is also a little up, in the previous life, the Zhao family's crime of copying the house was to make friends with the chaotic party, that is, to be involved with the old department of King Yong, intending to push King Yong'er in Xigui to the throne, which is true or false, Chu Weilin does not have much confidence, many clues and many layouts, she only heard some of what Lord Qin said, but she can't string it together.
This time, was the Zhao family's crime exposed in advance? Or is it something else?
Several people were preoccupied, and after listening to Mama Duan's words in each room and courtyard, they were also a little unsure, Liu and Chu Lunxin came together, and not long after they sat down, Chang Hengyi also ran in.
"I was out with a few friends, and when I heard Dr. Tea talk about it, I realized that something had happened to my sister-in-law's family, so I hurried back." Chang Hengyi Road.
Chang Yuye was anxious and asked Chang Hengyi softly, but Chang Hengyi didn't understand it himself, so he couldn't say it clearly.
In the evening, Chang Yuyun returned home first. (To be continued......)
