161 Mountain Rain is Coming (2)
Seeing Zheng Rui at this hour, Gu Qingwan was still a little surprised. In the past few days, Zheng Rui has been out early and late, but now he has entered the house before it is time to set up dinner.
"Have you finished everything outside, why did you come back so early today?" While Gu Qingwan was talking, Zheng He had already gotten up and saluted.
Even when everyone thought Zheng Rui was stupid, Zheng He would salute every time he saw him. Before he was sent over from Nanshan this time, I don't know if Princess Jing said something to Zheng He, or if Zheng Rui personally said something to him, Zheng He was not surprised by Zheng Rui's changes now, but his attitude became more and more respectful.
Zheng Rui smiled, but did not answer Gu Qingwan's question, but instead opened the topic and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's eat in advance today." ”
Looking at Zheng Rui's appearance, Gu Qingwan not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but her heart hung high again. Seeing Zheng Rui winking at her, Gu Qingwan glanced at Zheng He, so she could only respond, and called Baodian in, and asked her to order the kitchen to serve dinner half an hour early, and added two more dishes.
"Let me see, what did Hull write today?" Zheng Rui bent down and picked up Zheng He back to the kang, flipped through Zheng He's red painting today, and said after a while, "Look, it's much better than some time ago, but what your imperial aunt said just now is right, you must know that many things are too much." ”
Gu Qingwan rarely saw Zheng Rui's serious preaching, and originally wanted to listen to it on the sidelines, but she heard Jin Hai passing a word outside the curtain, saying that Mama Qin was waiting outside and had something to tell her in person.
Mama Qin is the person brought by the He family from the He family. is still a second-class maid by He's side. After the death of the He family, in the first year of Xiao Sun's entry, the maids and daughters of the He family were sold far away, and this Qin Mama was matched when the He family was there, and her family was sent to Zhuangzi.
After Gu Qingwan took back the He family's dowry from Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun's hands, some of He's old people defected, and this Qin Mama was one of them.
Mama Qin has been serving by the He family for six or seven years, and the two aunts of the He family still have some impression of her, but Gu Qingwan saw that she was a non-double-minded person, so she let her come into the palace. Later, I became a housekeeper. Gu Qingwan came to Zhuangzi this time. did not take her with him, but arranged for her and several other grandmothers to take turns in charge of the affairs of the house.
Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs is still some distance from Beijing, and if there is no major event, Mama Qin will not go to it in person.
Gu Qingwan asked Jin Hai to arrange Mama Qin in the side hall. I picked it up again. Then he got up and went forward.
When entering the side hall. Gu Qingwan saw Mama Qin walking back and forth with her head down and a little anxious, and she didn't even notice that someone had come in. Bao Tian couldn't help but cough lightly, and Mama Qin reacted at this time. Hurriedly took a few steps back and saluted Gu Qingwan.
"Tell me, what's wrong." Mama Qin is a bold and careful person, and she has always been very steady in her work, otherwise Gu Qingwan would not have promoted her alone. It can be seen that her performance just now must be that something big happened in the house.
Gu Qingwan only took Bao Tian into the side hall, and the others were waiting outside, Rao was like this, Qin Mama still seemed a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at Bao Tian.
"Fuman and Shuangquan are guarding outside, it's okay, let's talk about it."
The heavy snow a few days ago made the mountain road even more difficult, and this was the first time that the government had delivered the news. In the first few days, Gu Qingwan heard Zheng Rui mention some things in Beijing, but she couldn't see Zheng Rui's people at all when she was awake these days, and she still asked the maid who kept vigil to know that Zheng Rui had come back at night.
Mama Qin lowered her voice and said, "Princess Bing, everything is fine in the house, there is a big incident in Beijing." The secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the squire of the household department were dismissed, and the commander of the five battalions was even beheaded all over the house. It is that the Dongge University Scholars' Mansion has been raided, and people in Beijing have been panicking these days. ”
Zhao Qixuan, the son of Zhao Jin, a scholar of Dongge University, is still the princess of Hui'an from Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin has been a saint for more than ten years, and Princess Hui'an has always been very favored, even for the sake of Princess Hui'an's affection, the Zhao family cannot be easily raided. What's more, Zhao Jin was originally a clear stream, at least in the eyes of today, Zhao Jin can be regarded as a person of good character.
Otherwise, the Zhao family would not have let Princess Hui'an be in the first place. But now, even the Zhao family has been raided.
Gu Qingwan's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly asked, "Then why did the Zhao family raid the family?" ”
"It is said that several imperial historians have been excerpted, impeaching Zhao Bachelor for embezzlement and forming a party for personal gain, and the Zhao family did copy out a lot of money and goods of unknown origin when they raided their homes." Mama Qin took a breath and said, "Now the Holy Lord has just let Bachelor Zhao think about it behind closed doors in the mansion, and has not yet decided how to deal with it, and now the court and the middle government are arguing about Bachelor Zhao's affairs." ”
Gu Qingwan closed her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly said coldly: "How did you know about this major event in the court?" ”
"The old slave was in a hurry, but he forgot to mention it." Seeing Gu Qingwan's face change, Mama Qin hurriedly knelt down in fright, "Yesterday it happened that the old slave took turns to rest, and in the evening, a little maid came to the house, saying that it was the uncle and wife of the He family who asked the old slave to come to the house. The maid who passed the word was a third-class maid beside the second lady, but the old slave recognized it, so he went with her. The words that the old slave said were all memorized by the second lady and let the old slave memorize them word for word. ”
Mama Qin is the old man of the He family, and she has always been called "Mrs." to the two aunts of the He family. The "second lady" she said was Gu Qingwan's second aunt Guan Shi.
"Mama Qin, get up, I'm suspicious." Gu Qingwan raised her hand and asked again, "Does my aunt have any other instructions?" ”
The second lady said that it was best for the princess to stay in Zhuangzi now, and she might as well stay for a longer time. When it's calmer later, she'll send someone to tell you again. ”
Gu Qingwan nodded and stood up: "Mama Qin has worked hard all the way, you go down and rest first." Now that the mountain road is difficult to walk, I don't worry about you when you're old, so wait for a while and then go home with me. As for the house, I will send someone back to make arrangements. ”
As he spoke, he asked Bao Tian to go down and arrange Mama Qin's residence.
Seeing that Mama Qin nodded yes, Gu Qingwan said again: "The words you said to me just now, and the words that the second aunt came to look for you, I don't want a fourth person to hear it." If someone asks a lot, you can think of it yourself. ”
At this moment, it was not only Mama Qin, but also Baodian who responded solemnly on the side. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
