Chapter 309: Shame
The play, or the play that Empress Dowager Xu watched that day, is the song "Ma Niang" that resonated with Empress Dowager Xu.
Empress Dowager Zheng heard that Empress Dowager Xu liked this play, so she came to listen to it today.
Who would have thought, this scene is a little different from the last time Empress Dowager Xu heard it.
Most of the front is the same, and a lot is added at the end of the back.
Later, it was written that the stepson and stepdaughter fought back, Ma Niang told that she was suffering again and again, and the stepson and stepdaughter repented, was filial to her, and supported her with good food and drink.
Originally, this was the finale, but a drama was added later.
Ma Niang is sick, her stepson, stepdaughter and her own children are all in front of the bed, who will serve the disease, this is a question.
It stands to reason that Ma Niang's own children should come, but the eldest son is a stepson.
And it is a three-point poison, Ma Niang is reluctant to let her children suffer that hardship, so let her stepson and stepdaughter come.
At first, the eldest son came, shh
Let Ma Niang's biological son come.
Then, here's the main event.
Ma Niang knew that she would die soon, her son was not the eldest son, he could not inherit the family business, and the future would be much more miserable.
I want to poison my stepson and leave the family property to my own son.
But there was an accident, and the old man brought the poison to her son.
At that time, she was terminally ill and could not speak.
Watch her own son sip the poison into his mouth and bring it to her with a smile.
As soon as he walked to the bedside, his son was bleeding and died of exhaustion.
Ma Niang had tears in the corners of her eyes, her hands stretched high, and finally passed away in grief.
This is the real ending, and the initial ending is just that Ma Niang deceived her stepson and stepdaughter to relax their hearts.
After watching the play, Empress Dowager Zheng clapped her hands and smiled at Empress Dowager Xu, "This is the ending of the mourning family, what does Empress Dowager Xu think?" ”
Empress Dowager Xu didn't almost die of anger, but she had to grit her teeth and say, "Okay, excellent." ”
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled, "The mourning family is just a temporary idea, the time is in a hurry, it's hard for them to act so engrossively, but there is one thing, the mourning family has to remind me, some things still need to be investigated clearly before making a decree, listen to it and believe it, that is to ruin their reputation." ”
Empress Dowager Xu only made a decree when she returned to Beijing, and Empress Dowager Zheng invited her to watch such a play, and fools know that it has something to do with the eldest lady.
Empress Dowager Xu was silent when she served tea, but in fact, she had secretly given her personal father-in-law a look and asked him to inquire.
When she learned that the eldest lady's virtuous deeds were all pretended and calculated, Empress Dowager Xu's face suddenly darkened.
Later, Empress Dowager Xu reprimanded the eldest lady and took back the edict.
What Peony said was colorful, and An Rong listened to it with great pleasure.
Peony covered her mouth and smiled, "I heard that the eldest lady just returned to the Agarwood Courtyard, and she fainted." ”
An Rong handed the silver ticket to Haitang and said with a smile, "I don't believe that she still managed to restore the title." ”
Peony chuckled, "Unless she saves a prince next time." ”
Even if she really saved the prince, Peony thought, Young Master Xiao Biao must have a way to make her wishful thinking go to waste, and it feels good to have the emperor as the backstage.
However, Peony really sympathizes with Xiao Zhan, a character like him is actually in the affairs of his family, and he has been repeatedly disliked by the girl, and the girl has to reflect on it.
After all, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, the girl has the support of the queen mother, filial piety comes first, and the emperor does not dare to disobey the queen mother.
Peony felt that it was not enough to make a table of braised pork, and it took ten days and half a month to do it.
Peony dared to think and dare to say, Haitang had a black line on her face, "You have a grudge against Young Master Xiaobiao, you have eaten braised pork for ten days and half a month in a row, and it is estimated that you will hate braised pork in the future." ”
Peony scratched her forehead with a red face, and said with a sneer, "Anyway, the girl is going to marry Young Master Xiaobiao, and in the next ten days and half a month, she will be in the kitchen." ”
Peony said quietly, she didn't dare to annoy An Rong, she was afraid that An Rong would beat her.
Even Young Master Xiao didn't dare to hide, and she didn't dare even more, Peony smiled and couldn't see her eyes.
Within one day, Xiao Zhan helped An Rong twice, and it was impossible for An Rong not to reciprocate.
No, he instructed Peony to say, "Go to the big kitchen and get some more vegetables back, and then let the mother-in-law clean up the kitchen." ”
Peony answered crisply yes, and then went downstairs to run errands.
An Rong sat there, thinking about what to cook for Xiao Zhan for a while to thank him.
At this time, An Rong is cooking in the kitchen.
At that time, Xiao Zhan was talking to Xiao Lao Guogong.
Old Duke Xiao and General Xiao listened to Xiao Zhan's method of reducing "road damage" and exclaimed.
However, the ugliness cannot be ignored, General Xiao said, "In this way, it can indeed alleviate the road damage on a certain distance, but the time for the salt merchants to transport grain to the barracks is uncertain, and they are afraid that there will be more grain and less time, and there is a phenomenon of greed for ink in the army, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not use their hands and feet on the salt lead." ”
Most of the people in the army are greedy for ink and use their hands and feet on official money.
After being escorted to the barracks, it was melted and then the large silver ingots were divided into smaller silver ingots.
It is this process of separation, and there is a shortage of two catties.
General Xiao Da couldn't see such a trick the most, and every year, he would catch three or five of them and kill them to set an example.
However, man's greed cannot be suppressed, like weeds, which do not grow here but grow there.
Xiao Laoguo said fairly, "It is inevitable to be greedy for ink, and it is best to avoid the loss of grain and grass, and I will write this method and hand it to the emperor in a while." ”
After speaking, Xiao Laoguo raised his eyebrows, "Zhan'er, this is a good idea, why didn't I hear you mention it earlier?" ”
Xiao Zhan didn't dare to take credit, "It's An Rong who sues me." ”
Old Man Xiao was surprised, "Miss Shen Si came up with it?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded.
General Xiao raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but say, "What a wonderful woman." ”
Xiao Laoguo was a little regretful, "It's a pity that it's my daughter, otherwise I would stay by the old man's side to train, and I will be able to be Zhan'er's right-hand man in the future." ”
"I can adjust it myself," Xiao Zhan said.
Xiao Laoguo waved his hand, stretched out his hand to hold the teacup and said, "Forget it, I don't want a lively and clever granddaughter-in-law to become as cold as you, she's okay like this, it's okay, you can go back to the Hou Mansion." ”
Xiao Zhan's face was a little chapped.
He turned around and took two steps, thought of something, and turned around, "The wooden bracelet has become a purple gold bracelet." ”
Before Xiao Zhan's words fell, Xiao Lao Guogong coughed suddenly, and he almost choked to death.
"What did you just say?!" Old Man Xiao stood up, his voice with some eagerness.
Xiao Zhan watched as the teacup fell on the desk, turning the best proclamation pale yellow.
"The wooden bracelet turned into a purple gold bracelet," Xiao Zhan repeated.
Xiao Lao Guogong hurriedly walked over, "What did you see with your own eyes?" ”
Xiao Zhan frowned and nodded, and didn't shake his head, "I don't know when it changed, but it did become a purple gold bracelet." ”
General Xiao asked, "But are there any other changes?" ”
Xiao Zhan shook his head.
Old Man Xiao waved his hand and said, "There can be no other changes, although Miss Shen and Zhan'er are married, they are not my Xiao family after all." ”
In the last sentence, Xiao Laoguo said a little melancholy.
Looking at Xiao Zhan's eyes, he was extremely unhappy, the grandson he cultivated with his own hands was good anywhere, why couldn't he get a girl alive or dead?
Wouldn't the Overlord be the bow?
At the age of Fang Gang, he lives in the same house, day and night, isn't he a little impulsive?
Xiao Lao Guogong was distressed, he taught his grandson too politely, if he changed to Xuan'er, let alone raw rice cooked and matured, it is estimated that it will be fried popcorn.
These words in his heart, Xiao Lao Guogong wants to say but can't say it, how can a grandfather teach his grandson like this, it is disrespectful to the old.
If Xuan'er was here, I guess I couldn't help but teach him big brother.
Old Duke Xiao asked, "How is Xuan'er doing now?" ”
Xiao Zhan thought for a while and said, "At this time, I should teach the jailers how to fight crickets in the prison." ”
Xiao Laoguo was angry.
For a good year, he was not at home, he went to fight crickets in the prison, how did Jingbei Hou teach him, and raised a good grandson of him!
Wait for Xiao Zhan to leave.
Xiao Lao Guogong and General Xiao discussed the matter of the wooden bracelet.
Xiao Lao Guogong can't wait to see what the wooden bracelet can have in the end, and when his mother supported him, he had the Guogong Mansion today.
He was so anxious that he decided to give Xiao Zhan some medicine.
General Xiao's face was full of black lines, "Father, Miss Shen and Zhan'er have already made a marriage, even if they are in a hurry, they won't be in a hurry like this, right?" ”
Xiao Laoguo glanced at General Xiao several times, "What do you know, things in the world are full of accidents, even the slightest accident must be stifled." ”
General Xiao stroked his forehead and said, "Zhan'er's body is injured...... ”
Xiao Lao Guogong frowned, and said quite unhappily, "Why can't he fight a little bit and be angry with the old man!" ”
General Xiao knew the stubbornness of Old Duke Xiao, and to be honest, he also wanted to see what was so wonderful about the ancestral wooden bracelet of the Xiao family.
Why can only Miss Shen wear it, but others can't?
Xiao Zhan, who had just left Xiao Guogong's mansion, suddenly felt a chill down his back.
He only feels this way when he is calculated.
He didn't know that what was waiting for him was washed by Xiao Laoguogong and sent to Anrong on a plate, and Ren Anrong poked and kneaded it.
Xiao Zhan turned over and got on the horse, the horse neighed, he reached out to hold the reins, pulled the wound, and felt a little painful.
He clamped the horse's belly and ran forward.
After taking two steps, a whistle was heard in the distance.
The horse stopped, and behind him was a hearty smile, "Brother Zhan, my horse training skills are good, right?" ”
Xiao Zhan turned around, and saw that under the sun, two men rode over, handsome as stars, and graceful.
It is Mo Yichen, the son of Prince Pei Durui.
Pei Du whistled again, and the horse under Xiao Zhan's crotch raised his hooves.
Xiao Zhan tightened the reins so that he would not fall off the horse.
Xiao Zhan, who was in an unhappy mood, had a long smile on the corner of his mouth.
He gave a long whistle.
Pei Du couldn't tighten the reins, and the horse ran away with Pei Du as if he was going crazy.
Pei Du called all the way.
Mo Yichen, "......." ”
This is the fate of the class with an axe, and it is very humiliating.
Mo Yichen held back a smile and stroked his forehead.
"Brother Zhan, let him come back, we are looking for you on the orders of our father," Mo Yichen said.
