Chapter 654: Blame Six
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Du Yunqi was reluctant to give up his children, he was still ready to go back to Meizhou.
Since the beginning of the year, the crackdown on bandits has been in full swing in various localities, and the landlord who oppressed Huang Zhiye's family and the officials who took bribes to shield him have all been removed by the Meizhou prefect.
But it's no wonder, after all, Huang Zhiye and his gang are involved in Du Xiang's family, almost the eldest son and eldest grandson are gone, the Meizhou prefect is afraid of provoking Mao Du Xiang's father and son, and most importantly, he also accepted bribes from the landlord, if he doesn't close the case early and give Du Xiang an explanation, in case those bastards bite themselves out in the court, how can it end!
Therefore, there are nearly 20 officials of all sizes who fell in the case, including three people who are the same as Du Yunqi as county commanders, Du Yunqi wants to return to his post, and the officials newly sent to Meizhou by the Ministry of Officials in Beijing will go with him, and one of them, Cui County Commander, has not been able to fill the vacancy since he returned to Beijing two years ago to report on his work.
Cui County Ling has two sons and a daughter, the son has entered Taixue to study, the daughter is twenty-eight years old, it is the age of the flower bones, born delicate and lovely, lively and outgoing, Mrs. Cui County Ling was worried about her daughter's marriage, I don't want to, her husband's errand has been settled, and her daughter's marriage seems to have shown a glimmer of light.
The Cui family's background is quite rich, and the Cui County Order was unable to make up for the lack at the beginning, because he offended people, this time in the Meizhou Yellow Bandit case, among the officials who planted the head, the biggest official was in the ministry, and this person was the official who stumbled him at the beginning.
The Ministry of Officials changed to a new waiter, and the prefect of Meizhou wrote to ask the Ministry of Officials to fill the vacancy in Meizhou, which allowed Cui County to return to the court.
It's hard to fill the gap. The Cui family and a group of relatives and friends are very happy, because of the urgency of time, the invitation to invite each other to the farewell banquet continues, Mrs. Cui and the two daughters-in-law are busy packing their luggage, and they have to take time out to participate in the farewell banquet, and they are really busy with their feet not touching the ground.
Seeing that her mother and sister-in-law were busy, Miss Cui mentioned yƬ. Some of the less intimate people were invited. I went, and I got a return gift.
Mrs. Cui also felt distressed when she saw that her two daughters-in-law had lost a lot of weight by being tossed. took her daughter to the merchant to pick up some things as a return gift, and no longer had to come every time.
Speaking of this gift, it is valuable, and there is no need to give it if you can't afford it. But it's too light, and it's not enough weight. I'm afraid that the other party will misunderstand them and look down on others.
I picked and chosen, and finally went to the calligraphy and painting shop, and picked a few festive paintings to give home.
He sold several famous paintings and calligraphy, and the shopkeeper was very happy. That night, he called a banquet from the restaurant and let the people in the shop have a full meal.
said that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was only six dishes and one soup. It's not very delicate, but it's better than the portions. There were about 30 people in the shop, including the shopkeeper, and they were all well fed.
Chu Mingxin and Xiaomei left first before they finished eating, and the steward looked at Chu Mingxin's slender figure, and the evil fire in his heart was almost unable to suppress it.
The shopkeeper's drunken eyes were clouded, and he knew a lot about this brother-in-law's temperament, so he slapped him on the shoulder at the moment, "Don't you want to move!" Beware of turning back, the one in your house won't spare you. ā
"Alas, brother-in-law! How do you pour cold water on people! ā
"Anyway, don't even think about that big girl, she was introduced by Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang's calf protector, if you dare to touch her people, don't blame my brother-in-law for not protecting you!"
The steward moved uneasily, "But such a big beauty, can't touch it, it's really sad!" ā
"Come on! This amount of money is enough for you to go to Hualou to find someone to vent your anger. ā
After the shopkeeper warned his brother-in-law, he lay on the table with a puff and fell asleep.
The steward put the purse given to him by the shopkeeper in the palm of his hand and weighed it, and complained in his heart, only giving this bit of silver, and going up to the flower building! It's probably just enough for him to find a secret prostitute to defeat the fire.
But he was just cheap, and when he said it in his mouth, he didn't have the courage to do it, so he really made a move towards Chu Ming's heart.
The other guys heard that the female guy was Mrs. Zhang's person, so they died down one by one, Mrs. Zhang helped many lonely and helpless women to stand on their own, I heard that someone had someone to help the woman she helped, the woman was tossed very badly, after being rescued, she committed suicide within two days, and the few men who made her bad did not end well.
I heard that he was beaten with his head covered and his face covered, and finally stripped naked and hung on the city gate, and when he was found to be untied, he had frozen to death.
The family of the bitter lord sued the official, but was reprimanded by the government, and their family went to find Granny Zhang, but Granny Zhang put on the skin of a good person, and in a few words, they blocked the person who came to the door to seek justice, and wanted to find her to seek justice? She is an old woman, and she can strip and hang seven or eight big men with three or five thick bodies to the city gate? She is an old woman, how can she lead people to avoid the officials in charge of the city gate and hang people to it?
Since then, no one dares to flirt with the women introduced by Granny Zhang to work in various stores.
They originally came to see Chu Ming's good heart, and wanted to rub the oil, but they didn't expect that she was introduced by Granny Zhang, and now no one even dared to say it in front of her.
Mrs. Cui bought a lot of paintings and calligraphy and returned home, and Cui County ordered her to take them for appreciation.
"Daddy! I like this painting of the former Chaomei painter, can you not give it away, just leave it to me? ā
Lord Cui looked at her daughter fondly and nodded, but the second young grandmother looked forward more and more, and both Lord Cui and Mrs. Cui felt quite embarrassed, because the painting was in the hands of Master Cui, and the whole face of the second young grandmother was almost on the father-in-law.
"Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Mother-in-law, where did you buy this painting? The daughter-in-law looks like something is wrong! ā
"What's wrong?"
The second young grandmother couldn't say anything, she only said that she would take it to someone for identification. Mrs. Cui originally refused, but as soon as Master Cui heard that what she said was Fan Anyang, Yan Chi's senior apprentice, she immediately agreed.
When the daughter and son and husband and wife all went down, Master Cui asked his wife: "How can the second daughter-in-law know Du Xiang's granddaughter-in-law?" ā
Mrs. Cui vaguely remembered that the second daughter-in-law's sister seemed to be a concubine with Du Xiang's sister-in-law's granddaughter.
Mrs. Cui thought about it, "Master." Du Xiang's eldest grandson seems to be also in Meizhou. ā
"Yes! It is a pity that such an unfortunate thing happened to him at such a young age. ā
"Master, this may be a good thing for us!"
"Are you dizzy? How can it be ......good to be widowed" Master Cui paused, and pointed at his wife with wide eyes, "You don't want to let our eldest sister ......"
Master Cui slapped the table and stood up. "No, it doesn't. Our eldest sister doesn't want to be someone else's chord. ā
"That's the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"So what? Du Xiang's grandson has a son and a daughter, you are willing to let our girl be a stepmother, and the stepmother has never been good! ā
Mrs. Cui was in a hurry. "Master, think about it, those two children are still young! Whoever raises who is pro. Besides, the child is still so young. Whether you can raise it well is still one thing! Think about it. If our family and Xiangye get married, not to mention the future of the eldest brother and the second brother, even your errand, master, can also benefit a lot. Right? ā
That's the truth.
Master Cui raised his hand and touched his chin, thoughtful.
Mrs. Cui said again, "Didn't the eldest sister give birth to me?" Won't I feel sorry for her? Life is always a way to live. ā
"But. Look at Gao Shangshu's granddaughter, when she married into the Du Mansion. Who doesn't envy it, and then what? Who doesn't sympathize with Du Xiang and his grandson! I'm afraid that our daughter can't keep up with others! ā
"Alas! My lord, don't you grow up with other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? ā
Mrs. Cui persuaded again and again, and Master Cui finally agreed that he would find an opportunity to observe Du Yunqi, although his daughter marrying into the Du family has many benefits for his family, but as a good father who loves his daughter, he is never willing to exchange his daughter for the future of himself and his two sons.
"By the way, we are going to leave for Meizhou in the near future, master, why don't you go to Du Mansion and visit Master Du, if you can, we'd better go on the road with him." Go to Meizhou with Du Yunqi?
Seeing that her husband was moved, Mrs. Cui hurriedly puffed up, "Aren't you going to observe your future son-in-law more?" What better opportunity could there be? ā
Mrs. Cui already regarded Du Yunqi as a quasi-son-in-law, and did not consider whether people looked up to her daughter, but Mrs. Cui thought about it and felt that his wife was reasonable, so he immediately ordered someone to send a tribute to Du's mansion.
Du Mansion has been in an endless stream of visitors recently, many of whom have named people to visit Du Yunqi, although Du Yunqi is not very impatient to deal with these guests, but as an official in the court, connections are very important, and the most important thing is that people must not look down on people because of their current low official position.
Under the leadership of Chief Du, the subordinates of the Du Mansion were polite to the officials who came to visit, but it was rare for someone like Master Cui Jinheng Cui to regard himself as the future father-in-law of the eldest young master as soon as he came up.
As soon as the waiter invited the guest to the room where the guest was entertained, he immediately went to report to the chief manager.
When Du Yunqi received the news, he was watching Xiao Niannian's reddening, she was already very good at writing now, Xiaobao sat on the side, eating the whitebait porridge fed by the nurse, and reached out to grab his sister's red.
When Du Yunqi heard that Master Cui was visiting, he was slightly stunned, and the red paper in his hand was grabbed by Xiao Bao, Xiao Niannian couldn't stop him, only to see Xiao Bao happy, and stuffed the crumpled red paper that he kneaded into his mouth, when Du Yun came over, he saw Xiao Niannian angry and anxious to take out the red paper from Xiao Bao's mouth.
The nurse and the waiting maid all looked stupid, Du Yunqi was still thinking, who Cui Jinheng was, and he didn't realize that his son was rebelling.
"Big brother?"
"Huh?" Du Yunqi came back to his senses and saw his daughter looking at him with tears in her eyes, and her little hand was still digging her brother's mouth.
When the bear boy who brought his sister's homework to eat saw his father turn his head to look at him, he happily divided half of the paper ball in his hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Du Yunxun hurriedly motioned to the nurse to hug Xiaobao away, "Take him down to wash his mouth, big brother, do you want to wash and change clothes first?" Du Yunxun coughed lightly twice to hide his smile, his brother's mouth was all blackened by his son, and he looked as if he had grown a beard in plain white.
Du Yunqi hurriedly got up to change clothes, and Du Yunxun comforted his little niece and daughter, and when his brother came back after washing his face and changing clothes, the children had all been sent out. (To be continued)
