Chapter 228: Husband and Son
Xiao Yunqian finally knew what Concubine Xiao wanted to know! The repeated beatings just now made her a little smarter. Cousin Gu couldn't speak anymore, and Xiao Yunqian didn't dare to hide it at the moment, so she told the story of how to poison Zuo Zhong's wife.
After hearing this, Concubine Xiao only felt a wave of anger rushing out of her heart. raised his hand and gave Xiao Yunqian a slap. "You stupid woman!" If Xiao Yunqian wasn't her niece, Concubine Xiao really wanted to strangle her.
Syllable!
Xiao Yunqian covered the left side of her face in disbelief, and there were already five bright red guides on her delicate face. She has grown so big now, she has always been praised by others from childhood to adulthood, who dares to touch a finger of her.
Didn't you just kill the wife of a petty official? Is this what my aunt is like?
"I just killed the wife of a petty official, why do you ...... aunt" Xiao Yunqian didn't finish a word, and received another slap on the right cheek, Concubine Xiao almost yelled at her: "A petty official? Do you know who is behind this petty official? It's the cabinet, it's the whole clique of civil servants! ”
Concubine Xiao was almost angry, and she sprayed Xiao Yuqian's face with foaming stars: "Do you know that because of your stupid move, the good situation that no matter how many people worked hard to get back, it will be in vain...... The literati who have spent a lot of effort by the eldest uncle and father will have an opinion on the Xiao family because of this matter. And you, who is willing to follow the emperor and serve him in the future......"
scolded Xiao Yunqian so much that he was bloody. Concubine Xiao scolded happily, but Xiao Yunqian was confused. With her IQ, it is a bit difficult to understand such a high number of things.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Concubine Xiao was angry and extremely disappointed. If it was a change of the usual, she would have broken it and crumpled it, and explained the benefits and disadvantages of the relationship to her.
But now, Concubine Xiao waved her hand tiredly. "That's it! The wife and the virtuous husband have few misfortunes, and it is also a dereliction of duty for the palace to choose the right one for the emperor and not to teach you well! Someone ...... coming."
The eldest aunt immediately stepped forward. Concubine Xiao said: "Pass on my order, the female historians and female officials who are waiting next to Princess Zhao, and the female eunuchs of the personal palace, have not fulfilled their duty of admonishment, and they will each hit fifty boards, and the whole family will send them to ...... Heilongjiang is a slave! ”
Everyone was stunned, and this punishment was extremely severe.
Xiao Yunqian shouted: "Auntie spare her life, her subordinates are merciful!" It's all the niece's fault, and they have nothing to do with it! "The palace maids, female histories, and female officials around her have been with her for many years, how can they have no feelings!
Concubine Xiao sneered: "I have time to intercede for others if I have no time to take care of myself!" ”
"Princess Zhao...... Banned from Fuchu from now on. Without the permission of the main palace, you are not allowed to leave the house, and you are not allowed to meet anyone! Then he turned his head and instructed the eldest aunt: "Find two strict grandmothers for the palace, send them to the palace, and teach the princess the rules well!" ”
The two stern grandmothers had already been found, and they both had the expression of an old coffin scoop that others owed her a million, and stepped forward to escort Xiao Yunqian, who was already stupid, to the support office.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao's face was not good-looking, the eldest aunt asked carefully, "Niangniang, what should you do with that cousin Gu?" ”
Concubine Xiao hated her so much that the roots of her teeth itched, and she couldn't wait to drag her out and beat her to death to get rid of the evil spirit in her heart, she really had to take care of the overall situation. Concubine Xiao waved her hand and said, "Drag her down and hand her over to Shuntianfu!" ”
Concubine Xiao sent Xiao Yunqian and Cousin Gu down resolutely, and this matter had spread at the speed of light. The court was in an uproar. It was not a big thing, but under the impetus of well-intentioned people, it somehow became a confrontation between the Xiao family, King Zhao and the entire civilian official group.
This kind of use of power is so subtle that only the top political veterans can easily come by.
Zongren's Mansion is Ye Yichen's territory, and what the conclusion of this matter is the most difficult depends largely on Ye Yichen's attitude. That night, Xiao Zongchang went to the palace to ask to see Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen had finished dinner and was about to do loving bed exercises with Yulan. After listening to the porter's report, I couldn't help but smile slightly; "This old fox is finally here!"
Yulan saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and with a malicious smile on his face, he lit a candle for Xiao Zongchang in his heart.
Ye Yichen kissed her on the cheek: "Go to bed early, deal with this old fox, I don't know when Lu Dao will finish!" ”
Yulan nodded obediently, got up in person to help him change into hospitality clothes, and sent him out the door.
Xiao Zongchang and Ye Yichen talked in the study for two whole hours, and no one knew what they said. Later, Yulan heard witnesses say that Xiao Zongchang's steps were vain when he left, and his face was pale, as if he had died of Lao Tzu Niang.
On the contrary, Ye Yichen returned to the main courtyard refreshed, with a kind of triumph on his face. Yulan insisted on waiting for him to come back, and when he saw his expression, he knew that he had taken a lot of advantage from Xiao Zongchang.
Ye Yichen was enthusiastic and talked to Yulan Dunlun, and the couple fell asleep.
The next day, Ye Yichen sent a director of Zheng Liupin to follow Yin Zhangquan of Shuntian Mansion to handle the case. Zhang Quan is a member of the three products, and the six products are against the three products, and the meaning of playing soy sauce is very obvious.
Zhang Quan also complained bitterly. This hot potato was handed over to him after the worst. This case is in an uproar, and it is not light, and it is not serious.
It's too light Shilin is not satisfied, these people are greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for money and lustful, what they like to do most is to use the pen to scold people, sometimes even the emperor can't stand it, if he doesn't serve these uncles, you can imagine the near future, impeachment of him can crush the imperial case.
It's obviously not suitable to be too heavy, if Xiao Yunqian is really brought to justice, then where will King Zhao's face go, and where will the royal face go?
I was so worried that Master Zhang Quanzhang didn't close his eyes for a few nights, the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, and the gray hair on his head increased a lot!
Xiao Zongchang repeatedly taught him face-to-face, but he also had two brushes, and he held a pretext, thinking that when everyone's enthusiasm for fighting was cooled down, the case would be easy to deal with.
The emperor couldn't stand it, so he had to order the Zongren Mansion and the Shuntian Mansion to solve the case within a time limit, and give an explanation to the scholars in the world.
Zhang Quan had no choice but to rush up against the thunder, sentence Cousin Gu to a decisive decision, and pulled out Xiao Yunqian's personal palace maid from Zhao Wangfu.
No matter what, Xiao Yunqian must be picked out, otherwise not only the Xiao family, but even King Zhao will not be able to lose this face.
As soon as the verdict came out, there was a chorus of scolding among the scholars, and the cabinet and the elders also expressed their dissatisfaction.
By whom? Who doesn't understand the trick of this. In fact, everyone didn't really want to ask Princess Zhao to make amends to Zuo Zhong's wife. The so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is all to deceive the common people, but it is definitely not possible to expose it so easily.
You have to give a statement that you are satisfied with all aspects, and everyone will be satisfied.
Taking advantage of this time, several officials of the prince's family jointly signed up for the 12 major crimes, such as Xiao Zongchang, the secretary of the Ministry of Staff, and Xiao Zongsheng, the Marquis of Jinghai, who abused their power for personal gain, did not govern the family strictly, and formed a party and misconduct.
The emperor ordered a strict investigation by the Yamen.
This time, it really involved a lot of people to come in. Xiao Zongchang and Xiao Zongsheng gathered the backbone of the Xiao Party to discuss in the secret room for a few days, and they both felt that they should avoid the edge for the time being.
It's not that with the power of the Xiao family, they can't fight a few imperial histories, but now that they are on the cusp, if the Xiao family is fighting against the open flames, it will undoubtedly be against the entire Shilin.
In the future, King Zhao will become the emperor, and he will have to rely on these people to govern the country.
Of course, the big crime of forming a party for personal gain, and cheating on power will not be recognized, the Xiao family clan is prosperous, there are many children, and there are many unscrupulous children in the side branches, and handing over a few to extinguish everyone's anger can be regarded as helping the Xiao family rectify the clan.
The result of several games is: Xiao Yunqian's holy decree reprimanded; Xiao Yunqian's father, Xiao San, was demoted to three levels and retained (completely implicated by his daughter), and Xiao's sons and daughters migrated to the southwest for 3,000 miles; ABCD confiscated most of the family's property......
Xiao Zongchang, the secretary of the ministry, and Xiao Zongsheng, the marquis of Jinghai, were not strict in governing their families, and were fined for one year and thought about it behind closed doors for three months.
The last one to be implicated was Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao, who was promoting military affairs along the Yangtze River to prevent Shu Han from raising troops, and did a good job, but the emperor suddenly dropped him back with a paper order, and the post of governor of the patrol river was also taken over by Feng Guan, the left attendant of the military department.
Things have come to this point, and the civil officials are finally satisfied.
Yulan was surprised after reading the Di newspaper. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunqian actually made such a big battle on a whim, not only was the Xiao family implicated, but even Ye Minyu couldn't run.
She has a new understanding of ancient officialdom!
At this time, it has reached the end of the year, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, the monthly rules in the house, the New Year's money to be issued, the maids, and the mothers-in-law also have to make new clothes for the New Year, and more importantly, the family and the military general's family are courtesy, and Yulan is also busy all day long.
It's already cold. Yulan also lived in Beijing for a few years in modern times, but the ancient Jingshi was much colder than Beijing. In the winter, she hid in the house, where the dragon was burned, and the curtain hanging on the door was thickened.
As soon as Ye Yichen entered the house, he felt warm all over his body, and the furnishings in the house were very elegant and warm, all of which were slowly added by Yulan. Of course, Ye Yichen was also asked during this period, and Ye Yichen didn't pay much attention to these, so he only said to her: "You can just watch it." ”
Yulan saw Ye Yichen coming back, put down the newspaper in his hand and greeted him: "The prince is back?" ”
Ye Yichen called the two little girls to come in and help him change his clothes, and said, "It's almost the New Year, and there are not many things in the yamen, so I'll come back early!" ”
After a while, Ye Yichen changed into a royal blue arrow sleeve and came out. Sitting next to Yulan on the couch, he stretched out an arm and naturally wrapped his arm around her shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Yulan showed him the newspaper. Ye Yichen smiled and said, "I'm peeking at my mansion newspaper again!" Even though he said this, there was not the slightest displeasure in his tone.
Although Yulan is favored, she is very measured in her work, if Ye Yichen does not approve, she will never read his newspaper privately.
Yulan said: "I didn't expect that Huke gave Zuo Zhong a small official from the seventh grade in the matter, and he turned up such a big storm!" Even King Zhao was implicated! ”
This matter was promoted by Ye Yichen behind his back at the beginning, how could he not know that Lu said clearly, and said with a smile: "Officialdom is like this, it affects the whole body ...... with one hair."
As he was talking, a girl came in and reported: "The eldest young master is here." ”
As soon as the cotton curtain was lifted, Ye Minwen was wrapped tightly like a little brown bear, and walked in accompanied by the wet nurse. Yulan was afraid that he would freeze, so he asked the maids to put on several clothes for him. Ye Minwen acted stupidly, but he ran in, with excitement in his voice: "Father, mother!" ”
Ye Minwen is actually not difficult to coax at all. Yulan got along with him for two months, and every day he asked for warmth, and whenever the girl was the slightest bit lazy, she immediately went out. She didn't hold Ye Minwen in the palm of her hand like Qi's, but treated him as the little nephew of her cousin's family in her previous life (there was no way to treat him as her own son), it should hurt, coax, and scold!
The key is that Yulan plays with him.
It didn't take long for Ye Minwen to change her mind and call her "mother"!
Yulan is extremely proud!
Sister has overcome the problem of the world! Who said that stepmothers are not good!
In fact, it is very simple to make friends with your child, provided that you don't treat him as an outsider. Like Qi, Ye Minwen may not be close to her when she grows up - she has put herself and Ye Minwen in a different position from the beginning.
When Yulan saw Ye Minwen come in, a sincere smile immediately appeared on her face. It's not that she is really a virgin, but since she married into the palace, her spare time life has become a little monotonous, Yulan takes time to play with this kid every day, and entertains not only Ye Minwen but also herself.
It's fun time for such a big child, he looks very cute, and Yulan is as novel as getting a big toy.
"Don't be busy, take off all the layers outside. It's hot in the house! Yulan pulled Xiao Zhengtai and reached out to touch his cold red face: "Where are you going?" Look at this little face's cold! "A smile from the bottom of my heart.
It is said that women are born to love to be mothers, and Yulan is also making great strides in this direction! It's just that she doesn't know what to do!
Ye Minwen said excitedly: "Sister Hongyao took me to hide and seek in the garden!" ”
The two big girls waiting on the side helped Ye Minwen take off the leather jacket outside, revealing the royal blue robe inside.
Yulan Road; "Alright, go and salute your father!"
Ye Minwen was just like a little adult, and he saluted to Ye Yichen uprightly: "I've seen my father!" Ye Yichen saw that his movements were much more formal, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This is still Yulan saw that the two nurturing grandmothers around Ye Minwen didn't dare to talk to him loudly at all, and after discussing with Ye Yichen, they changed to two serious and upright ones, and Ye Minwen's words and deeds slowly improved.
Children can't get used to it too much!
Feudal society pays attention to the education of children, strict father and mother, Yulan plays a good role as a loving mother, and Ye Yichen also has to do a good job in the role of strict father.
If there's no problem, you have to find something wrong!
He coughed and glanced at Ye Minwen: "Are today's ten character posters finished?" ”
Ye Minwen secretly glanced at his father, and when he saw that his usual face was sinking like water, he was a little scared in his heart, and whispered: "There is still one left!" ”
Ye Yichen's voice was low: "Before you finish your business, you just ran out of the city to play?" Who gave you permission to do that? ”
Ye Minwen's neck shrank, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak. Ye Yichen's face turned blue: "When I was your age, I lived in the barracks, and I had already begun to learn to kill the enemy, look at you, I can't even write a few words!" Hmph, don't eat tonight, go back to your house, go write me ten posts, when you're done and when you're going to eat! ”
Ye Minwen's head was about to shrink into his neck, and he whispered: "Yes!" ”
Yulan was taken aback: "Lord Wang, Wen'er is still a child, why do you want to be so serious with him!" If you want to punish me, I won't stop it, why do you have to let the child eat and then punish it! ”
Ye Yichen didn't listen to her, and glared at his son: "It's not going down yet!" The two big girls hurriedly put on the clothes they had just taken off for Ye Minwen again, and pulled him out of the door of the main courtyard. When Ye Minwen was leaving, he glanced at Yulan pitifully.
At this time, the maids had already set up the meal in the western room, and Ye Yichen saw Yulan sitting there with a lonely expression, and said with a smile: "Let's eat!" Don't let this stinky boy spoil our interest! ”
The two sat opposite each other, and the girl came up with a meal, every day it was a person, and today there was one less Ye Minwen, and Yulan felt weird.
Ye Yichen couldn't help laughing when he saw Yulan sitting there counting the grains of rice, with a resentful expression on his face.
Yulan hesitated for a long time and said, "It's my idea to ask Brother Wen to go out to play." I saw him stay in the house all day, too quiet and shy, like a ......" like a little girl. Isn't it time for such a big child to have a good time and play with different tricks! Therefore, Yulan encouraged Ye Minwen to play new realms and new tricks. "So the prince will spare him this time, he told me before he left, and I blamed him for not asking him if he had done his homework today! It's all my fault! I'm not questioning your right to discipline your children, oh, just call your children back to eat, how pitiful it is for a little child to be hungry! "Even if other children's children are hungry, Yulan is really guilty!
"A loving mother has many defeated children, and jade can't be cut without a weapon!" The prince's face tightened, and he smiled secretly in his stomach.
Yulan's heart sank, the prince is not an ordinary stubbornness! What he decided, eight horses could not pull back. She cautiously tentatively said, "Or...... I'll go see Brother Wen in a while, and bring some of that...... Dim sum? ”
Kneel! The philosophies of educating children between the two seem to be very different.
Ye Yichen didn't raise his head, picked up the rice and said, "Eat first!" ”
If there is no objection, it is agreed. Oh yes! Ye Yichen looked good when he saw Yulan's face, and couldn't help but laugh, that child was his own son, and he couldn't abuse him!
Seeing that Yulan was sincere to Ye Minwen, his heart was also soft.
Yulan quickly finished a bowl of rice and stood up in a hurry; "Lord Wang, I'm done!" Turning his head and going out, Ye Yichen shook his head and put down his chopsticks. But there was a smile on his face.
Yulan called Xiaoyue when he entered the hall: "You go to the kitchen, ask them to make some snacks that the eldest young master usually likes to eat, and take them to the east wing in a while." ”
After speaking, he turned around and went to the east wing, and Xiaoyu hurriedly put a cloak on her behind.
When I entered Ye Minwen's small study, I saw him standing in front of a small table like a little adult. In fact, compared with Yulan's naughty little nephews and nephews in his previous life, Ye Minwen is already very sensible, never too naughty, and can also look at people's eyes.
Yulan also understands that this child has died since he was a child, and his father knows that he leads troops to fight all day long, so he doesn't care if he throws his son to an aunt.
It's so irresponsible!
The more Ye Minwen was like this, the more distressed she felt. At the beginning, she didn't want to raise Ye Minwen because she was afraid that she would be thankless, and when she really came into contact with this child, she had no resistance at all.
Ye Minwen saw her come in, and called out a little surprised: "Mother! ”
Ye Minwen's room was cleaned up in the slightest, the house was warm, burning the earth dragon, lighting the soothing incense, and it was very properly arranged.
Yulan walked over, took his hand and asked, "How many notebooks have you written?" ”
Ye Minwen smiled shyly: "My son is stupid, and he has just started writing!" ”
Yulan pulled him to sit on the chair next to him, and organized the language: "Your father is all for your good, you, don't blame him!" ”
Ye Minwen lowered his head a little aggrieved: "My son doesn't dare to blame my father!" ”
Yulan touched his little head: "You are a good boy, but there are some things you don't understand!" Your father likes you more than anyone else! It's just that his expression is different from ours! ”
Ye Minwen raised his head, during this time he lived with Ye Yichen and Yulan, Yulan treated him very much, Ye Minwen had never been so happy when he was so old. The only fly in the ointment is that his father is very strict with him, and he is inevitably a little aggrieved in his eyes.
Hearing Yulan say this, he looked up at Yulan: "Really? ”
Yulan smiled and touched his head; "Of course it's true. When did I lie to you! ”
Ye Minwen nodded, Yulan also punished him, but it seemed that Yulan really didn't deceive him. He rejoiced at the thought of this.
Yulan said again: "You are still young now, and you will understand when you are older." In this world, father's love and mother's love are different! ”
Ye Minwen nodded as if he didn't understand.
As she was talking, Xiaoyue had already come in with a few little girls, and a lot of snacks in large bags. Yulan smiled and said, "Eat, eat some to cushion your stomach first!" Finish the letter that your father told you to write. The mother asked the kitchen to make you your favorite sweet potato! ”
Ye Minwen saw the snacks on the table, and he also felt so hungry.
"But didn't my father let me eat?"
Yulan winked at him and smiled very slyly: "Let's eat dim sum, not eat!" ”
Yulan watched Ye Minwen finish eating the dim sum, and accompanied him to write ten big characters, asked the kitchen to make a small bowl of light noodle soup, and made a small plate of sweet potatoes, Ye Minwen ate very sweetly.
Yulan watched from the sidelines, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
When she returned to the main room, she had already paid ten points, and saw that the man had changed into a snow-white middle coat, lying on the couch with a copy of "Zuo Chuan" reading under the lamp.
Yulan was shocked to realize that she had snubbed the man a little.
The husband and the son of the husband and the son of the husband and the son of the husband, I only remember that the godson went, but I forgot the husband. Ye Yichen rarely came back one day early, and he threw him aside. Yulan was very apologetic: "Lord Wang, I'm late to come back!" ”
Ye Yichen glanced up at her, and there was no displeasure on his face: "Go wash and go to the bed!" ”
Yulan went to the clean room to wash up, changed into a middle coat and just went to bed, he was hugged by a pair of strong and powerful arms, and the man said funny: "When you have a son, you forget about men, huh?" ”
Yulan smiled apologetically: "Isn't there a special situation today......
A smile flashed in the man's eyes: "There is indeed a special situation. After a pause, he suddenly said: "Eating dim sum is not a meal, what kind of crooked reasoning?" ”
The man's magnetic voice echoed in Yulan's ears, and her face turned red: "Lord Wang, how can you ......" listen to the corner of the wall!
Ye Yichen was thinking about Yulan's other words: "In this world, father's love and mother's love are different!" ”
He suddenly turned over and pressed Yulan under him: "Since you like children so much, let's work harder and try to give birth to him seventeen or eighteen!"
Before Yulan could let out an exclamation, his mouth was brutally blocked by him.
King Zhao stepped down from his post as governor of the river, but he would not be able to return for a while. When the new governor of the patrol arrived in Hubei, the two handed over military affairs, and King Zhao set off back to Beijing with his own soldiers.
This side has just set off, and the urgent letter of 800 miles on the other side has already been delivered to the Chengqian Palace. Concubine Xiao finished reading her son's letter, but her face showed a slight solemnity, and the eldest aunt stood next to her and didn't dare to speak.
Concubine Xiao said to herself: "This child, it's not a big deal to take in a few concubines outside, but how can he ask the concubine to conceive a child before the princess?" ”
