162 Pretending to be crazy
In the front hall, Ah Chou tapped on the table with his left finger while waiting for the mystery to be revealed.
Xu used her brain a lot during this time, and her body was not good, so she didn't bother to guess anything.
Otherwise, the population of Gujing Village is already small, and there is still a request for her-why would he come to see her.
There are not many such people.
Ah Chou raised his head slightly when he heard the footsteps, and saw the person coming from under the veil.
In my impression, she has always been dressed very plainly, and now although her identity is different, she is still very plain.
But the fact that she came to herself today, and she didn't cry or make trouble, seems to say something......
"Ugly girl, after a long time, a poor friend like us, the girl is still willing to meet, and the old body is grateful!"
Ah Chou looked at the tears in the corners of Aunt Ding's eyes, and looked away with some sighs: "Old Mrs. Ding, please sit down, Sister Qiu looks at the tea." ”
Aunt Ding smiled a little reluctantly: "Ugly girl, I came to your mansion with a shy face, I guess the girl also knows what to ...... for."
"I naturally know in my heart," Ah Chou smiled, "Mrs. Ding also has no way to come and go through this experience, otherwise you would have made up your mind in your life to pretend to be crazy and stupid, how could you suddenly appear here with me." The world says that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, didn't you choose that way because Daqian had a law that he must remarry? ”
"The girl is really smart," Aunt Ding was very emotional, "When Juwen and his father went early, if I remarry, this child is afraid that he will not live long, how can he have a future in the future, please girl, don't tell others!" She looked pitiful and unbearable.
Ah Chou didn't take a second look: "I naturally won't say much, and I am also accompanied by a person who is unwilling to remarry, so I can naturally understand the suffering of one or two old ladies in Ding." It's just that Mrs. Ding came. So what's going on? ”
Aunt Ding looked at the ugly above, and shook her head again: "Girl, in this life, she will become a girl, and she will be a girl if she loses!" ”
"I don't think I can afford that." Ah Chou faintly denied that she didn't want to have anything to do with Ding Juwen before, and now she doesn't want to.
"I know that Juwen is not blessed, but if it weren't for the girl, he wouldn't have worked hard at that time to get such a good reputation." Aunt Ding burst into tears, "But because of the girl, he took the wrong path, and he did a lot of things to be sorry for the girl......" Aunt Ding covered her mouth. I cried bitterly.
Ugly sighed, she knew. Aunt Ding is not pretending. It's true.
Aunt Ding has pretended to be crazy and stupid for many years, and is willing to endure all the infamy in Gujing Village for her son, which shows how smart and strong she is! Such a woman knows that she can only impress herself by telling the truth, and that weakness cannot arouse her sympathy.
But she still cried, for the grievances she had suffered for so many years. For a hopeless future, or perhaps for regret that you didn't expect.
"Old Madam Ding," Ugly sighed, "sometimes." It's not a good thing that people haven't opened up yet, but they read too much. I know that you begged me to let Ding Juwen go, so that I could not break his reputation for so many years of hard study. But are you really sure that as long as I raise my noble hand, he will be fine? ”
Ugly's words made Aunt Ding in pain stunned.
"Not to mention that I am a common person, and I have never even seen the emperor, let alone affect the emperor's decision. Even if I can influence and continue to put Ding Juwen in the position of Ying Tianfu's Tongzhi, he is still confused, or he can't figure it out, he will also offend people and do wrong things, and when the time comes, it may be as simple as destroying the Nine Clans, rather than being suspended and waiting to be done. "Ugly carefully analyzed.
Aunt Ding looked dazed and muttered to herself: "I hurt him, I only know how to ask him to study, and I haven't even taught him the truth of being a man......"
"Mrs. Ding should not feel sorry for herself, according to the law, he will not be in danger of his life, nor will he implicate his family. The most serious is exile, or demotion to an official, no matter which one it is, let him see this world and learn the truth of being a man, which will be beneficial to him in the future. If life is smooth sailing, where will there be growth, where will there be enlightenment? Ah Chou smiled lightly and took the tea.
Tian Qiumei shouted "send-off" and sent Aunt Ding away.
Aunt Ding stood up with some hesitation, walked a few steps, turned her head again, and said in a sincere tone: "Ugly girl, I apologize for his past mistakes, and I hope that you have a lot of them, don't worry about them in the future." ”
Ah Chou couldn't help laughing: "Old Madam Ding, do you 'apologize' for him?" But you can't 'live' for him, you can't be on duty for him! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and their actions depend on their own experience! ”
Aunt Ding realized something, and left with emotion: her confused son is still too far away after all!
Back in the front hall, Tian Qiumei saw that Ah Qiu was still sitting there, and couldn't help asking, "Girl, is that Ding Juwen really only exiled?" ”
"Listen to what you mean," Ah Chou glanced at Tian Qiumei disapprovingly, "Exile is a very light punishment?" ”
"The girl said it so lightly, didn't she?" Tian Qiumei was stunned.
Ugly shook his head: "Exile is very bitter, my words are half my own feelings, and half are just comforting Aunt Ding." If it really comes to exile, he will have to suffer a lot! She sighed softly.
But there is one thing she is not wrong, Ding Juwen, he needs setbacks to grow him.
The supervision of the crown prince Mu Tianhong went very smoothly. The result of the deliberations of the people under the prince's command is to deal with it impartially and not to find fault with others. Ah Chou also thinks so, the emperor is just sick, if he is well and sees the prince taking the opportunity to fight against people who are not in harmony with him, I am afraid that he will not be happy.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, there is no need for Mu Tianhong to mess up so early.
Therefore, in the case of Yonghetang, because it involved human lives, the prince sentenced several main culprits to beheading, and the rest were sentenced to exile. The rest of the He family did not sit together, but ordered them to move back to their hometowns. Naturally, the property has been confiscated a long time ago, and only the sacrificial fields are left, and I don't know if I can maintain the continuation of the He family in the future, after all, He Sidai was born with dementia.
He Sijun was driven out by the He family a long time ago and reported to the government, except for the genealogy, so he was not implicated at all.
After hearing Ding Juwen's case, the prince decided to demote him to Zhengbapin County Cheng and go to the northwest to take office. The conditions in the northwest region are difficult, and I am afraid it is enough for Ding Juwen to bear it.
In the East Palace, after Mu Tianhong dealt with the matter at hand, someone came to report that the prince of Yu Wang and Ah Chou had arrived.
Ah Chou came in and saluted, and first asked about the emperor's condition.
"After vomiting blood that day, you have been unconscious?" Ugly was a little surprised,
"That's true, the imperial doctor has prescribed so many medicines, and it hasn't improved," Mu Tianhong suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you have excellent medical skills, why don't you come into the palace to see your father?" ”
Ah Chou thought for a moment: "I rashly entered the palace to diagnose the emperor's pulse, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, isn't that a slap in the face of the hospital?" ”
Xia Yichen agreed: "Indeed, after the last incident with the queen's mother, the Tai Hospital is afraid that he will be jealous of the ugly." Now, even if Ah Ugly goes, I'm afraid those people will stop him. Wait a few more days, if it still doesn't improve, let's find a way? ”
"It's okay," Mu Tianhong nodded, "This king also consults with the queen mother. ”
"Your Highness remembers that no matter how busy you are, you have to greet the emperor every day, and filial piety comes first, for Your Highness, filial piety is more important than excerpts." Ugly admonished.
Mu Tianhong smiled: "Your last sentence is sincere, but it makes people laugh. ”
Xia Yichen's peach blossom eyes glanced at Ah Chou with a smile, but he didn't speak.
"I'm afraid I can only be a direct minister." She was a little self-deprecating.
Mu Tianhong restrained his expression and began to get down to business: "You were just injured, so I called you to the East Palace, because I have something to show you." ”
Ah Chou took a scroll handed over by the great eunuch Jiang Gonggong beside Mu Tianhong and spread it out to look at it.
It is a detailed ZTE five strategies.
That day, she just said the surface, and the point was stopped, after all, she had never been involved in politics, and the details were not well grasped. But now, the prince has actually refined all these five strategies, and they can be implemented.
"These days, the king has done everything himself, and he has a lot of feelings, so he will refine the girl's five strategies, and if there are any problems, please tell me." Mu Tianhong is humble but not humble.
Father-in-law Jiang looked at Ah Chou seriously on the side - a person who can be respected by His Royal Highness is actually a girl who has not yet reached the end of his life? Who believes it?
What's so special about this girl?
Ah Chou spread the scroll on the smooth and clean floor in front of him, and sighed with emotion: "Your Highness's five strategies have been perfected very well!" In this way, in the future, when the emperor summons the right one, His Royal Highness can also be prepared and respond fluently. ”
Although Xia Yichen didn't hear Ugly's Zhongxing Five Strategies that day, he also heard about it later, and when he saw such a meticulous finished product, he couldn't help but be interested: "Your Highness, these articles are really in the same sentence, but it is still a little difficult to implement." ”
"Well," Ugly nodded, "some details can be improved, such as the disaster relief article, the exemption from taxes in the current year and even the next year, these have old rules, I read some of them when I read the law, and then I read them, and then I will follow the old rules." ”
Several people discussed for a whole afternoon, but fortunately, there were enough ice cubes in the East Palace, and the hot summer hall was also cool.
When Ah Chou was about to leave in the evening, Gonggong Jiang whispered something near Mu Tianhong, and Mu Tianhong couldn't help frowning.
Xia Yichen was the first to be alert: "What happened?" ”
"Father's illness seems to be serious again," Mu Tianhong sighed, "This king will go over and take a look first." ”
"If it really doesn't work," Xia Yichen paused, "let my mother take Ugly into the palace tomorrow." It is also common for the eldest princess to recommend a famous folk doctor for the emperor. ”
Mu Tianhong bowed his head: "It's okay, there are many things that are inconvenient for us to come forward, but the eldest princess can, thank my aunt on behalf of the king!" ”
"Don't say polite words, Your Highness should hurry up!" Xia Yichen waved his hand.
Mu Tianhong hurriedly led the people out of the apse. (To be continued......)
