Chapter 34: Howling and Crying
"Xiao Langjun, you woke up, is it this killer, the carriage frame is not good, and it woke you up?" The eunuch sitting in another carriage asked with his sleeves rolled up and a sharp voice. If Cai Cong said yes, he would beat the horseman.
"It's nothing, when I get home, I'll wake up naturally." Cai Cong waved his hand and jumped off with the handlebars.
"Oh, my little ancestor, I don't dare to jump, I can't explain if I get hurt." The eunuch's face turned white, and he hurriedly came down to check whether Cai Cong was injured. What he is most afraid of is serving these little nobles, not to mention the fragility of his body, and he is also very naughty.
"What's going on?"
Cai Cong Cai Congcai didn't care how worried the eunuch was, Nunu asked Meng Baolai. Cai Tian's mother-in-law and children were all caught. Without waiting for Meng Baolai to speak, Cai Cong ran to Sister Cai, knelt down and said, "Mother, the child is not filial, so you are worried." ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Cong'er, save your aunt! They're going to take your aunt and two cousins and sell them! Seeing Cai Cong kneeling on the ground, Sister Cai couldn't hold back her tears anymore and flowed down.
"Mother, don't cry, there are children, and no one can touch anyone in our village. Come! ”
"In!"
"Bring the people back, and the people who came to make trouble broke their hands and threw them out of the village. When Qianniuwei returned to the city, he smashed the gambling house for me by the way. After Cai Cong finished speaking, he helped Sister Cai to go home, without looking at them.
The long knife rests on the neck, and there are more than a dozen round sharp bows on the side, how dare these ruffians resist? His hands were broken alive in a cry.
After throwing the people out of the village, the people of Qianniuwei and the eunuch who gave the gift said goodbye and left. Out of the village, the captain asked curiously: "Father-in-law, is this Langjun a person who is a living in exile for His Majesty...... The little one heard from the people in Ningqing Palace that the emperor and queen originally wanted to take these two back to the palace, but I heard that Xiao Langjun himself did not agree. ”
The little eunuch was still curious about what this young master came from, but when he heard the captain say this, his heart was beating, I am my mother! It turned out to be His Majesty's exiled prince, no wonder he was allowed to enter the palace a few times, he must have just found it.
"What do you ask? Can you inquire about the secrets of the palace? The little eunuch felt that he had discovered a terrible secret, and he became extremely proud when he spoke.
The secret of the palace? A group of Qianniuwei looked at each other, understood! Sure enough, it is His Majesty's dragon son, looking at the attitude of this lord, it seems that he doesn't want to recognize his relatives yet, and Bacheng is angry that His Majesty has abandoned his mother and son. The lieutenant also felt that he had discovered a great secret, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist when he rode the horse.
Cai Tian's mother-in-law and two children knelt in front of Cai Cong's house, looking frightened, and no one could get up. Cai Cong's mother and son, who had just entered the house, hurriedly came out and helped people up.
"Auntie! That guy in my family is not a human being, and even you want to kill you for money. It's my family who is sorry for you, but you don't care, you saved the three of us, I, I'm ashamed and have no face to see people. ”
"Auntie, don't say that, Uncle Cai is Uncle Cai, you are you, he has destroyed the conscience, but you are innocent, if it wasn't for the aunt to kindly inform the villagers, I'm afraid my mother has already suffered an accident. Cai Cong thanked me here. ”
"Yes, don't be sad brother and sister, if it weren't for you, I would have been killed a long time ago, but I pity that child, and I ...... after only a few good days."
"Well, what should I do in the future? How can we orphans and widows live? "Cai Tian broke the law, his fields will be taken back by the government, and the children left behind are not adults, and there is not enough food at all.
"Auntie, rest assured, we are all relatives, how could I have watched you and your two cousins suffer. Until my brothers become adults, I will provide you with everything you need. ”
Cai Cong said seriously, if he really ignores the three of them, he will be spurned in the future, first, they are all the same clan and relatives, and secondly, he also saved his mother, and he ignores the grace of saving his life, then his character will be infinitely despised.
"But today you played a gambling house for us, I heard him say that the owner of this gambling house seems to be an official, will this affect you?"
"It's okay, if he dares to stand up as an official, I will dare to sue the emperor in front of His Majesty." Cai Cong said confidently that Li Shimin would work hard to make the country prosperous, so naturally he would not watch his officials behave indiscriminately.
The others were worried, the servant who beat a county official last time was imprisoned for more than a month, and now they are going to provoke the official, they don't know what to say.
At this moment, two fast horses galloped over, turned over and dismounted, it was really the captain and little eunuch of Qianniuwei who had just left.
"I've seen Cai Langjun, Ling Tang is here?" The lieutenant said politely.
"My mother is here, I don't know what's going on?" Cai Cong wondered, this guy shouldn't be blind, right? His mother was standing here, and she was going to ask again.
"If you have seen Mrs. Cai, please prepare the incense case immediately, and from time to time a messenger will come to read the queen's decree." Only then did the little eunuch step forward and say solemnly.
"Huh? The queen wants to give me a decree? Are you mistaken? How could the Queen Mother know me? Sister Cai asked four rhetorical questions in a row, showing that her heart was flustered.
"Madame is modest, please prepare, the messenger of the decree will arrive soon." The little eunuch said respectfully. They met the person who came to announce the decree halfway, and when they asked, they realized that it was actually a decree, which confirmed their previous guess even more, and they spoke more politely.
Sister Cai must be unreliable, Cai Cong immediately arranged for people to prepare incense cases or something, and burned incense to wait for the arrival of the messenger.
Not long after it was set up, a team of people came slowly. Headed by a white-faced and beardless eunuch in his thirties. Before anyone could get far away, their laughter was heard. It is also difficult for a person with a severe lack of male hormones to make such a loud voice.
"Please Mrs. Cai to take Yi's order."
"Sister Cai, a folk girl, led her son to answer the villagers' orders." Sister Cai said respectfully, fortunately, the little eunuch gave temporary guidance, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
Sister Cai and the villagers all knelt down, and Cai Cong didn't stand out from the crowd, so he had to kneel helplessly. In fact, he felt that his knees should not be so soft, and this kind of behavior would only increase people's servility.
"The queen's mother is Yizhi, Caijia Village's sister Cai's son is virtuous, and her father and brother are loyal to the country. When the palace first heard about you, he was indignant, and then he learned the details, and he felt guilty. Your father and brothers all died in the war for the country, and the incense was not continued, which is a great misfortune.
Trust has you, filial piety is commendable, the Cai family incense continues, and you are the first to make the first contribution. The white jade is flawless, clean and showing, and now the name is given to show filial piety. Loyalty and filial piety, teaching children in a good way, although unmarried and having children, but the big festival is worthy of it, and the small section is not lost. Today, I will give the four orders of the seal, and I will be called Mrs. Xiaojia. Mrs. Xiaojia, I have finished reading the edict, please accept it. ”
The big eunuch said with a smile, Sister Cai raised her hands high and shouted hoarsely: "The people's daughter is grateful!" ”
Seeing that she was already in tears, she fell on the ground and cried. All her grievances, all her misfortunes, were finally released at this moment. No one knows how a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl could feed a young baby in the midst of laughter and abuse.
From now on, no one can talk about her unchastity, and the phoenix that rules the women of the world hangs down above the nine heavens, and everything she does is in accordance with orthodoxy.
At this time, the great eunuch took out a silk book from his arms, handed it to Cai Cong and said: "When I was about to leave the palace, I met Lord Li Gang and Lord Yan Silu. ”
Cai Cong was solemn, respectfully took the silk book and read it through, the text was full of appreciation for Sister Cai'er's filial piety, and finally called it a model. Cai Cong put the silk book on the desk and kowtowed respectfully three times.
This is Rulin's recognition of his mother, Li Gang will not say it, Yan Silu is the son of Yan Zhitui, they are all great Confucians in the world, and their evaluation represents Confucianism. From now on, whether it is a peddler pawn, a dignitary, or a Confucian celebrity, they will not be able to use Sister Cai'er's uncleanness to talk about things, this is a great favor, and kowtowing is not too much at all.
The villagers looked at Sister Cai with awe one by one, and some people had said in private that she was shameless before, but then Cai Cong let everyone eat, and no one dared to say it. And now the queen has commended her, which shows that she did the right thing.
