No.303 and the pro-county lord
Gu Ruixing was very annoyed, "It's not Shen Congshu's stinky boy, he actually scolded my sister for being ugly, and said vicious things like not going to die for nothing." That kid, I heard that he had thrown his sister with a stone the day before. If he were my nephew, I would have smoked him in the morning. He was only three and a half years old, and his mouth was so vicious, I really wanted to go over and strangle him. β
Zhou Boyan frowned slightly, "For such a young child, it is possible to scold my sister for being ugly, and if there is no adult to teach him, he will not say it." β
Gu Ruixing's brows furrowed, "Here's the problem. This is someone in the Shen family who can't tolerate Yuehua and deliberately uses the child as a gunman! Shen Congshu's kid is a tao on weekdays, but he is not so embarrassed as to take stones. Yuehua is too smart, thinking of this, this is why she has the idea of suicide. If it weren't for the fact that her nurse had always been loyal, found out in time that something was wrong, and broke in and desperately hugged her feet hanging in the air and lifted them up, she couldn't wait for others to save her. She almost lost her breath. β
Zhou Boyan patted him on the shoulder and did not speak.
"What my mother means is that when she recovers, she will take her back to live in the house and not let her go back to the Shen family. I'm afraid that the Shen family won't agree. In this way, with my mother's temper, I may be going to rob it hard. When the time comes, things will be big, and it will be difficult for her to be caught in the middle. I'm not broken. On weekdays, you have the most ideas, and you can help me think of a way to see if there is any other better solution. "Gu Ruixing came over today, firstly, to vent bitterness, and secondly, he hoped that Zhou Boyan could help him come up with ideas.
Zhou Boyan didn't excuse himself, and said casually, "Let me think about it." β
Gu Ruixing said with a worried face, "I have to hurry up and think, I must be in time before my mother goes crazy." The day after tomorrow is the day I get married, and my mother's patience will only endure until the bride's return ceremony is completed. β
"Hmm."
"Also, Yuehua is closer to Sister Qingshu, you let Sister Qingshu accompany her, okay?"
Zhou Boyan immediately glared at him fiercely, "Sister Qingshu, can you shout?" β
Gu Ruixing was stunned, "Huh? β
"Don't forget, call her sister later. When we get married, you can change your voice and call her sister-in-law. Ah Shu complained to him several times, saying that Gu Ruixing didn't have a long memory, and he didn't change his voice to call her sister. Naturally, he listened, so he warned Gu Ruixing.
Gu Ruixing was speechless for a moment, and slandered in his heart: forgetting his brother when he sees sex, and the hero is short of breath.
Besides, Zhong Xiangrong, she obviously sensed that the atmosphere in the Taishi's Mansion was not right. She got up at her usual time and heard that her grandfather had passed out early in the morning. After a few moments, my grandfather woke up. Later, one of the stewards and two family members of the house were killed with a rod, and the grandfather's concubine accidentally fell into the water and died. She smelled something unusual, and fearing that it had something to do with the bloody book, shut herself in the room and didn't dare to take a step out of the room. Later, she heard that her grandfather had brought her uncle, her father, and her three uncles into the palace. She grew more and more uneasy.
Yesterday, the two little guys she sent to monitor Gu Qingshu never came back, she didn't know what happened to the two little guys in Lu Dao, and she didn't know how the trap that Lu Dao had specially arranged for Gu Qingshu went. After several considerations, she wrote a letter asking for peace, instructed her personal maid to send it to the Six Princes' Mansion, and specially instructed her to hand it over to Lord Yun in person. Lord Yun is a straw bale, and he is very easy to fool. But the sixth princess is a shrewd and difficult to deal with. She has been able to hold the county lord of Yun all these years and turn the county lord of Yun around, all thanks to the discord between the county lord and the six princesses, and the six princesses obviously don't ask about the county lord of Yun.
At the poetry meeting of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, Lord Yun lifted her bottom and tore her face, which was not at all like Lord Yun's style. The only explanation is that the six princesses intervened. The sixth princess restrained the heart of the county lord of Yun, and instructed the county lord of Yun to do so behind her back. Lord Yun's straw bale is a very good gunman, she can't lose it, she has to pick it up. As long as she avoids the six princesses, she will definitely be able to subdue the county lord of Yun again, and then destroy the relationship between the county lord of Yun and the six princesses, so that they will never have a day of reconciliation.
When the maid who delivered the letter left, Zhong Xiangrong thought of Gu Yan'er. So, she sent another maid out of the house and invited Gu Yan'er to come over.
Gu Mansion, Gu Yan'er's residence. Gu Yan'er was lying on the bed recuperating from her injuries, but she heard a word from the front, saying that Miss Zhong of the Taishi Mansion had sent someone to invite her. She sat up in a hurry, but immediately sighed again, and felt dizzy. The maid immediately stepped forward, shouted to the young lady not to move, and helped her lie down.
Gu Yan'er was beaten yesterday, but she didn't take it on her face, so she couldn't see anything on the surface. But in fact, there are several bruises on his body. This was left by Xiaojuan bravely kicking her three or four times in a row. There was also a wound to the back of the head. Qing Shu grabbed her hair and hit the back of her head against the wall. She had a big swollen bag on the back of her head, and she only dared to lie on her side when she slept, and she couldn't lie on her back at all. Moreover, the collision seemed to leave some sequelae, and the slightest wrong movement made the head dizzy.
Such a Gu Yan'er, when she was carried back in a soft sedan chair by her subordinates, she accidentally let Gu Yan'er's sister-in-law bump into her. Immediately afterwards, Gu Yan'er's father and mother knew. The Gu Mansion was in a hurry. Those who asked the doctor, those who changed Gu Yan'er's clothes and arranged their appearance, and those who scolded the subordinates and asked the reason, were in a mess.
Gu Yan'er didn't dare to say it at first, but then her father and mother pressed it tightly, and she wanted to kill her maid again, so she spit. She cried and cried about how Zhong Xiangrong calculated her, and how he used her to deal with Gu Qingshu later, and finally she was retaliated against by Gu Qingshu.
Master Gu Si's face was cloudy. Mrs. Gu scolded Zhong Xiangrong for a few words, and said that she would find that Gu Qingshu to settle accounts. Instead of helping, Master Gu Si scolded Mrs. Gu Si for being stupid and his daughter for being stupid. Mrs. Gu Si was not convinced, but Gu Yan'er cried vigorously.
Old man Gu Si yelled angrily, "If you don't hurt people, you will be beaten, what face do you have to find someone to settle accounts?" He also said, "That Gu Qingshu, more than two years ago, she beat Master Ding on the street, and beat the whole world on the street a few days ago, who dares to say that she is not?" Who dares to settle accounts with her? "Idiot, who is supporting her?"
Gu Yan'er muttered dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just Yan Gongzi?" β
Master Gu Si looked at their mother and daughter with idiotic eyes, and said helplessly, "Who is behind the young man?" β
Fourth Lady Gu's face immediately turned pale. Who is behind the young man, naturally it is the emperor. As long as the emperor doesn't blame him, in a sense, Gu Qingshu will fight anyone in vain.
Gu Cheng's wife, Gu San's wife rushed over when she heard the news. She looked at the three people with different expressions, "What's wrong with Yan'er?" β
Master Gu Si saluted, "I've seen the third sister-in-law." Then he said, "Yan'er didn't have anything to do, but accidentally fell." No, I'm scolding her for being careless, scolding her for her poor service. β
Mrs. Gu Si echoed and counted a few words from her daughter on the spot.
Father and mother are like this, Gu Yan'er cooperated and shed tears for a while. It's not a good thing to be righteous and bright, so it's naturally better to cover it up.
Mrs. Gu San could see that there was something she didn't want her to know. She said a few words of concern and took her leave.
As soon as she left, Master Gu Si explained to his wife, "Let the mouth of the lower head be tighter, who dares to show the slightest rumor, and the rod will be killed." Be careful when you speak, and stay away from the third room. The heart is bigger than the sky, calculating all day long, maybe one day he will hit the muzzle of the boy, and he doesn't know how he died. "What did my third brother do, he was a brother, and he lived in a big house, how could he not know if he paid attention to it! A few days ago, his friend told him that Yan Gongzi was very dissatisfied with his third brother.
Because of Gu Si's confession, Gu Yan'er recuperated in the name of a hard fall.
At this moment, listening to Zhong Xiangrong looking for himself, Gu Yan'er was angry, and then he forgot that he was in a hurry to get dizzy. The delicate maid beside her was called away by her mother and never came back. The others were all more seriously injured than her, and her mother said that she would spare them for the time being. Now serving by her side are the maids newly assigned by her mother and the nurse who has taken care of her since childhood. She told the maid to hurry up and ask for a lady.
When Mrs. Gu heard that Zhong Xiangrong, who had killed her daughter, she had sent someone again, but she was angry but did not lose her senses. She asked people to tell someone from Zhongfu that Gu Yan'er was recuperating from her wrestling injuries and would not leave the house or see guests for a month.
Dare to refuse to meet. Zhong Xiangrong was angry, so he asked someone to send a message to a steward in the mansion to ask the overlord of Naguan how things were going.
In the afternoon, the steward who ran errands for her replied that Guan Bawang was gone, missing, and didn't go home at all last night. Guan Bawang's family searched all the places he frequented, but found nothing.
Zhong Xiangrong realized that it was not good, so he immediately made a decision, took some silver for the steward, and sent the person to the countryside. The matter was drawn by the steward, and Guan Bawang didn't know who the main messenger of the Dao was. As long as the steward is dismissed, even if Guan Bawang is arrested, she is still safe. Thinking of Zhou Boyan, there was an obsessive smile on her face. But as soon as she thought of Gu Qingshu, her face immediately became hideous. Just as she was thinking about implementing the second plan, a thunderbolt fell on her head.
Taishi Zhong took his five sons to welcome back the holy decree and give the holy decree of marriage.
Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Zhong Zhen's granddaughter Zhong Xiangrong, unparalleled in appearance, gentle and virtuous, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is a model of Da'an women, famous in the capital, not losing the daughter of the heavenly family...... The emperor's grace is vast, and Feng Zhong wants to be the lord of the county and reward ...... On October 16, he was married to the Dawa County State, and the third prince of the Dawa County Kingdom achieved a heaven and earth marriage, benefiting the people of the two countries...... Chin this!
Zhong Xiangrong, who knelt on the ground to listen to the order, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was on the ground.
The chief administrator of Hongda, who had already issued the holy decree, was displeased, holding the holy decree in his hand, "Haven't you stepped forward to receive the decree?" β
Mrs. Zhong is in a hurry, and her granddaughter dares to make a mistake at a critical moment, which is okay! Uncle Erguo stubbornly went over, grabbed his daughter's hand, and dragged his daughter forward in a kneeling position.
At this time, Zhong Xiang Rong came back to his senses, crawled over by himself with a sad expression, and kowtowed three times, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" She raised her hands above her head and took the holy decree from the hands of Chief Administrator Hong.
More than 100 people from the Zhong Mansion kowtowed to thank him.
The receiving ceremony is completed. Manager Hong didn't even look at the silver ticket stuffed by Uncle Daguo, stuffed it into his sleeve, and returned to the palace to resume his life.
Zhong Xiangrong returned to his room in a daze, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, smashing things when he saw them, like a madman.
Zhen entered the door with red eyes, "Stop, Rong'er, don't stop?" Do you want the whole house to accompany you to die? β
A teacup smashed over, grazed the side of Zhen's ear and flew over, and smashed on the Adam's apple of Uncle Erguo, who had just stepped into the door, and then fell to the ground and shattered.
Uncle Erguo covered his aching Adam's apple and was furious, "Presumptuous, come here, hold down the young lady and tie it up." β
Zhong Xiangrong's maid and mother-in-law shook their bodies, and no one dared to step forward. Miss's torture methods hide needles in the cotton, ruthless!
However, there was no need for the maid to do it, Zhong Xiangrong stopped and stopped smashing things, just crying. She is not afraid of Zhen's mother, it doesn't mean that she is not afraid of Uncle Erguo's father. What if she is unwilling? The holy decree has been issued, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and everything is powerless to return to heaven.
Uncle Erguo originally came to comfort his daughter, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so ignorant and actually do such a rebellious thing as smashing her father and mother with things. He immediately stopped comforting, glared at his daughter, told Zhen to be optimistic about his daughter, and went to discuss matters with the Taishi in anger.
Zhen was secretly refreshed, and at the same time secretly hated Zhong Xiangrong's move of smashing her with a teacup. However, after all these years, how could she break her success at such a time? Therefore, she dodged all kinds of wreckage on the ground with a sad look and walked to Zhong Xiangrong's side, "Mother's daughter, mother's daughter, this is our woman's life, there is no other way but to accept fate!" β
Zhong Xiangrong threw himself into Zhen's arms and cried loudly.
Zhen cried with her, but she couldn't be happier. See, this is retribution, everything is retribution. The wild seed born to Uncle Erguo and the wild woman outside dared to occupy NestlΓ© and enjoy everything that should have belonged to her daughter. Now, retribution has come, and he has paid the price for enjoying the glory and wealth that does not belong to him in the past fifteen years, and has become the lord of the county.
The so-called Dawa County is a small place attached to the Da'an Dynasty thousands of miles away. The population there is not as large as the population of half of the capital in the entire county combined. The land is barren and the weather is unusually cold. The people who live there are extremely poor. It is rumored that it is a strange place, where the children and grandchildren of the people will live there, and when they come out, they will die violently. It is rumored that the prince and princess of the county have to work in person, and the adult prince and princess also have to work. If it weren't for the production of a precious wood there, the Daan Dynasty would not have accepted this vassal state.
And the pro-county lord? Achieving a marriage with the three princes of Dawa County? It's just nice to say. In fact, if you get married, you must follow the customs there, and after you get married, you have to work hard with your husband.
The nobles of the capital often talked about Dawa County and told it as a joke. Therefore, as long as you have some knowledge, you will know this kind of rumor about the Dawa County. Now, for some reason, the queen and the princess sacrificed Zhong Xiangrong. Zhong Xiangrong is not her Zhen's daughter, she has nothing to be sad about, she can only laugh. At this moment, her heart was extremely comfortable.
It can really be described as a few joys and a few sorrows.
The Taishi Mansion not only lost Zhong Xiangrong, who could consolidate his own interests through marriage, but also took the initiative to give 50,000 taels of silver as a military salary, which brought temporary peace. Concubine Li's escape from the palace, if it is just a simple escape from the palace, it is fine, if it involves the crisis of Da'an, their Taishifu is really over. Although the queen swore that she had no knowledge of Concubine Li's escape from the palace, Taishi Zhong was still not at ease. Therefore, in the days to come, the worried Taishi Zhong will definitely not sleep well and eat well.
On the contrary, there are several princes in the palace who are of suitable age to marry, and they are happy to drink and celebrate. And the county lord of Rong, who was unanimously identified as the first candidate for the county lord of Heqin, was crying and laughing after getting the news. When the uninformed saw her, they would think she was crazy.
The thirteenth prince shouted to the housekeeper to prepare the wine, and said that he would go to Shuyuan to find Zhou Boyan to drink. In his opinion, if there is no Zhou Boyan to secretly help, and the choice of the master of the county, it must be his Rong'er. The thirteenth prince was moved as if he was something, and when he walked away with the wine jar, he said to the thirteenth princess, "Yan'er is the most humane, unlike others, the most humane." You hurry up and prepare a generous gift, and when the limelight of this matter passes, you will send it to Shuyuan. "He's a drunkard, what's wrong with the prince? Others looked down on him, but Yan'er never forgot him.
In Shu Yuan, Xiao Huan got the news and happily told Qing Shu what was happening outside.
Xiaojuan heard that this county lord was not going to enjoy happiness, but to work, so she applauded. If it hadn't been for the young lady's eyes warning her to be more restrained, she would have started singing.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study. The emperor threw a booklet to the corner of the imperial case and motioned for Lord Xue to take it.
Lord Xue stepped forward, respectfully held the booklet and stepped back, and then opened it to read. When he saw the contents of the confession and the bright red painting, he immediately knelt on the ground and waited for the emperor's orders. This is a big case, a big case, and his hands tremble.
"Investigate the case thoroughly. If there is any progress, you are allowed to enter the palace at any time. β
"Minister, obey the order."
Zhong Li's case is a matter of royal face. Therefore, the emperor did not let the criminal department intervene, but directly handed over the Dali Temple to Lord Xue.
On the twenty-eighth day of September, before dawn, Bu Yuyan was woken up by the maid and began the procedure of being manipulated like a puppet.
Qingshu stayed in Bufu last night, stayed in Bu Yuyan's house, and whispered to Bu Yuyan until late before going to sleep. Bu Yuyan got up, she also got up, and then after washing, she accompanied Bu Yuyan who was at the mercy of others throughout the whole process. When she saw the process of dressing up the bride with her own eyes, she felt terrifying. From the beginning of the year to the end of the season, for a whole hour (two hours), the bride dressed up in full costume is finally freshly baked.
The delicately dressed Bu Yuyan looked at Qing Shu and wanted to cry without tears, "I knew that marrying someone was so painful, so this girl didn't agree." β
The maid and lady present were busy persuading Bu Yuyan to say that she must not say this kind of thing again.
The third sister-in-law happened to come in. She joked with a smile, "Eighth sister, sister-in-law still doesn't know what you say is insincere!" Yesterday, my sister-in-law saw it, you can't wait to fly to become an ancient housewife, where will you regret it? β
Buyu was embarrassed, "Third sister-in-law, you are too bad to ignore you." β
At this time, it is the time for the mother and daughter to say goodbye before the daughter gets married. Qing Shu saw the sisters-in-law of the Bu family coming in one by one, and Mrs. Bu also came, so she withdrew with interest. The third sister-in-law would not neglect Qing Shu, and when she saw that Qing Shu had quietly gone out, she said hello to the other concubines and followed her.
It didn't take long for the welcoming team to arrive.
Qingyang and Qinghao followed Bu Chong and Bu Yong, and their faces were flushed.
Qing Shu looked at the four of them with a smile, "What are you running?" Could it be that there is a tiger behind and can't chase it? β
Bu Chong shouted at the boy, "It's more powerful than the tiger, run." So, the four of them left Qingshu and ran away, quickly finding a place to hide.
Suddenly, when Qiu'er, who was pouting, came running, Qing Shu realized with a black line on his face that Qiu'er was the one who was stronger than a tiger in Bu Chong's mouth.
