Chapter 225: Deserted and Fleeing
Mrs. Zhong didn't know what Cao's mother was thinking, and when she heard that Yanyun was dead, she laughed: "Good death!" If it weren't for that, how could our Zhong family end up like this?! This still felt insufficient, and asked Cao's mother: "What about her family?" Cao family, you don't have to shirk, I inquired. The Yanyun family is now in the palace! ”
Mother Cao's face became even colder: "Yanyun has been martyred, and the prince will properly settle her family, so the old lady will not bother with this." ”
"What did you say?" Old Lady Zhong was deeply dissatisfied with King Guangping's disposition, "That cheap maid harmed my daughter, how can the prince still treat her family well?" It is very important to pull people directly into the yard and beat them to death! ”
Mother Cao couldn't listen to it anymore, Zhong Yazhuo saw that it was not good, and hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Zhong: "Grandmother, please say a few words." The girl was dead, but she was punished. Her family has entered the palace, and they are the people of the palace, how can you manage how the palace deals with the people? ”
Old Lady Zhong snorted coldly and closed her mouth. It was for her grandson's sake that she stopped pursuing it. If it was replaced by her daughter, when she was still alive, she wanted to send the servants in the palace, it was just a matter of one sentence, why couldn't she take care of it?
Mother Cao didn't know if she also thought of this, remembering the princess's kindness to her mother's family in the past, but she didn't end well, her expression was a little colder, and she said directly: "That's all the prince's orders, but I don't know if my uncle plans to take the water or land route tomorrow?" I'll also have someone arrange it. ”
Master Zhong hurriedly said: "I was planning to take the waterway, and the road was not so bumpy." ”
Mother Cao nodded: "Got it." You can go back and wait for news. He held the bag of silver in front of Master Zhong. Master Zhong hurriedly took it. When Mrs. Zhong saw that her son looked impatient, she couldn't wait, she couldn't see it, she dropped her sleeves and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Zhong Da saw that the momentum was not good. The mother-in-law actually planned to leave, and secretly anxiously glanced at her daughter with red eyes, and couldn't help but step forward and say to Cao's mother: "Can't we give the princess an incense?" The princess has always loved us elegantly, and we said elegantly that if we can't see the princess for the last time and leave, we can't be at ease anyway. ”
Cao's mother glanced at her, and then at Zhong Yazhi, dressed in delicate white clothes. There is a plain gauze flower pinned to the sideburns, and the eyebrows are lightly swept, and I feel more pitiful than usual. Suddenly said angrily: "It turns out that Miss Zhong still remembers the princess's love? Then why is it that the princess's last words before her death are still for the good of the girl, but the girl refuses to listen? The princess is the girl's own aunt, and the girl wants to come to worship. Just dress modestly. is so filial piety, but it's really too much. The old lady, the eldest lord and the eldest lady are still alive, what white flowers does the girl wear?! ”
Zhong Yazhi's face suddenly turned red. She also knew that she was dressed too much today, but before she went out, her mother repeatedly asked her to dress like this, saying that it was more cute, and maybe her cousin would relent, and she didn't even let the door in. In the past, the old servant Cao's mother still fell on her face like this. As for her aunt's last words, she had previously tried to avoid marrying the Marquis of Sanyin. I really thought about doing it, but I couldn't make up my mind, and then the marriage was gone, so she naturally didn't have to leave home, what did Cao's mother do at this time?
Old Lady Zhong couldn't hold her face anymore, and glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely: "What are you doing there?" Why don't you hurry up and pull the child away?! ”
Mrs. Zhong had already felt the complaining eyes from her mother-in-law and her husband, and gritted her teeth and said: "Yazhi originally planned to become a monk in Beijing, but our family is going back to our hometown, and it is not good to leave her alone in Beijing, so I thought about going back to my hometown to talk about it, not to disobey the princess's will." Yazhi also felt that she was a little sorry for her aunt, so she wore this body, and there was no other meaning. The old lady and the eldest man of our family agreed. ”
Mother Cao didn't bother to listen to her explanation, but said: "Our son said that if the eldest lady has the heart to worship the princess, she will not wait until the princess is out of the funeral and the mourning hall is withdrawn. It's closer to the princess. Shizi really doesn't dare to let your mother and daughter enter the mansion now......" She paused, and then repeated Gao Zhen's heart-wrenching words word for word, before smiling slightly: "I originally thought that Shizi was just a lot of heart, but when I saw the eldest girl's dress, I understood that Shizi's eyes were like torches. There are always some people in this world who need to be guarded against. ”
Zhong Yazhi's face turned pale, he couldn't bear it anymore, he lowered his head and turned around and ran in the direction of the carriage. Mrs. Zhong's face was also red and white. Mrs. Zhong was trembling with anger, and she didn't know whether she was angry that her grandson was talking harshly to her old servant, or she was angry that her daughter-in-law and granddaughter were shameless. She stomped her feet and yelled at her daughter-in-law, "Why don't you hurry up? The old face of my Zhong family for several lifetimes has been lost by your broken family! She shouted to her son: "Write a letter of divorce to your daughter-in-law today!" Together with your daughter who has lost the face of the Zhong family, drive me out of the door! ”
This farce in front of the Guangping Palace, since someone reported to the King of Guangping. The king of Quang Binh was sitting under the porch at this time, listening to his son shoot arrows in the courtyard. The target he used was specially made, and the sound of which ring he shot was different, and the king of Quang Binh knew it when he heard it. The target of the arrow was honored by the head of the palace a few days ago, and the king of Guangping was when he felt fresh, and when he saw his son to accompany him, he let him try it out in archery.
After hearing the report, King Guangping didn't even raise his eyebrows, but just smiled slightly: "The prince is more and more thoughtful in doing things, and he has done a good job today." "Giving the Zhong family a rich entanglement and arranging a car and boat is Gao Zhen's duty as a junior. The eldest man of the Zhong family was dismissed because of corruption, and compared with other officials who committed the same crime, he was only dismissed from his post by copying his family, which is really a light sentence, but it is within the scope of the national law, which is not out of line. If the Zhong family goes outside to say some gossip, no one will believe him, but will praise the benevolence and righteousness of the palace. It's just spending a little silver, which is much better than completely ignoring the Zhong family, and the result is criticized. King Guangping knew that he would have to be an idle clan for the rest of his life, and he didn't care about his reputation, but he never wanted his son to be splashed with a little sewage.
He also whispered to the head of the palace: "You ask someone to go outside to inquire about where the Zhong family has gone and what they have done since they got the things back." If there is any sale, especially the relics of the Zhong family's boss, let people buy it back no matter what, and it doesn't hurt to buy it publicly. ”
The head of the palace was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood: "Don't worry, the little one knows what to do." "At the beginning, the government would return the four seasons clothes of the Zhong family, some of Mrs. Zhong's dowry, and Mrs. Zhong's relics, which were completely the result of King Guangping's private care. Especially the relics of Old Lady Zhong, he is the father of the princess after all, and if the former private belongings are left outside, it will inevitably make people feel distressed. Mrs. Zhong's part of the dowry is the same. It's a pity that the Zhong family obviously can't understand this kindness, and they got the things back, obviously they can get a lot of money by selling a few decent coats or three or two pieces of jewelry, but they chose to sell the relics of Old Lady Zhong. If outsiders find out, the reputation of the Zhong family will be even worse. At that time, no matter what gossip they say about the prince and the prince, no one will believe it. The Zhong family could have originally supported the brand of a famous scholarly family, but after this incident, this brand really fell.
Because of the princess, King Guangping can't do anything to retaliate against the Zhong family, and he has to defend it everywhere, and he can only use other ways to vent his evil anger.
After Gao Zhen finished shooting a round of arrows, he turned around and saw the head of the palace retreating from King Guangping, turning around and hurrying away, as if he had received an order to do something. He walked back to King Quang Binh with some curiosity: "What is the chief do?" "He had already commanded that if there was no major matter in the house, no one should be allowed to disturb his father.
King Guangping just smiled slightly: "It's okay, but just ask me what I want to eat at night." I asked the kitchen to make yams, you can eat more. ”
The son didn't want to bother him, so he stopped all the trivial things outside. This is the filial piety of the son. He only needs to receive the filial piety of his son.
Zhao Xiu didn't know that after he left the Guangping Palace, such a good show was staged in front of the palace. When she came out of the side door in the carriage, she saw someone standing in front of the door, but she didn't pay attention. She was full of chagrin for Gao Zhen's words, and at the same time made up her mind that she must control her diet and stop eating so much greasy food, otherwise she will gain weight again, and when her body begins to develop, she will be out of control.
She began to think about digging out all the health recipes in her grandmother Zhang's collection, and studying the new menu for autumn and winter, so that the whole family could eat healthy and nutritious. If the cook at home can only cook Beijing cuisine, then find another one who can cook southern cuisine.
When the carriage returned to the alley in front of the house, the coachman suddenly reported: "Girl, there is a car in front of us, and we can't get through." ”
Zhao Xiu was stunned, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked around, and sure enough, there were three or four carriages blocked in front of his house. The carriage was not gorgeous, but it was wide and sturdy, and it was a wagon carrying goods, and looking at the depth of the marks in the mud, you could tell that the car must have carried a lot of things. Who is this? It doesn't look like a six-room style.
Zhao Xiu whispered to the mother-in-law who followed the car to ask what was going on, and the mother-in-law approached a carriage, and a young man dressed as an ordinary rich servant came up, said a few words to her, and then followed her to Zhao Xiu's car, and made a gesture: "I have seen the eldest girl Zhao, the younger one is the servant of the Wang family, and the Wang family has always been friendly with the Hou Mansion in the past." Our general was raised by the old county lord when he was a child, I don't know if the eldest girl has heard of it? Our general is about to return to Beijing to take up his post, and the housekeeper and the little ones are ordered by our general and wife to return to Beijing to clean the house, and they have come to greet the old lady, the little marquis and the eldest girl. The local products of Liaodong on the car were specially ordered by our general to honor the old lady. The old lady was polite and unwilling to accept it, and the housekeeper was persuading the old lady in the house. I don't want the carriage to be cumbersome and block the way of the eldest girl, so I ask the eldest girl to forgive her sins. ”
This person spoke clearly, and Zhao Xiu also understood, but she was a little confused, where is this Wang family? Who is their general? Actually raised by the old county father? Why hadn't she heard her grandmother and Lu's mother talk about it before?
And the second room of the Zhao family has been away from Beijing for ten years, and they have never heard of any Wang family contacting them in Fengxian. (To be continued......)
