302, entering the palace
Jiang Xuan thought that if Murong Han's evidence was handed over, his father would be able to come back, but he never thought that not only did he not come back, but the place where he was imprisoned was reversed.
However, it is also good, the prison of Dali Temple is always a little better than the prison of Jinyiwei.
People are still not allowed to visit, which makes Jiang Xuan have to think of what Murong Han said at the time, if the emperor wants to punish Jiang Chong, even if he hands over the things he gave, it is useless.
Today's emperor, it was the Emperor Taishang Zen throne who sat on the throne, when he fought against the Northern Barbarians, His Majesty killed 100,000 prisoners of war in the Northern Barbarians, although he said that he had courage, but in the eyes of some people, he was also cold-hearted and cold-blooded.
Could it be that he was jealous of his father and wanted to attack him?
Although Jiang Chongren was transferred from the prison of Jinyiwei to the prison of Dali Temple, the Jinyiwei surrounding the Jiang family was still not removed.
Jiang Xuan sat in front of the window in a daze, only to feel that his mind was in chaos.
There was silence in the courtyard, since Jiang Chong was imprisoned, the subordinates in the house were under the pressure of the second wife, although they were not panicked, but in private, there were also people who kept inquiring.
The second uncle went outside to inquire about the news and didn't come back, and Jiang Xuan couldn't sleep, but just told Bilan to go ahead, and if the second uncle came back, he would inform her.
Biyun was guarding outside, and when he saw Bilan coming in hurriedly outside the gate of the courtyard outside, he went into the inner room and called Jiang Xuan.
It was already night, and it was very cold, Jiang Xuan wore a thick cotton jacket and a cloak before going out and went to Jiang Song's study in the front yard.
Jiang Song didn't close her eyes for a day and a night for her brother's affairs, her eyes were red, and her face was depressed, and when she went, the second wife was serving and eating ginger soup.
Seeing Jiang Xuan coming, he reproached, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" There's news that will tell you. ”
Seeing this, the second wife hurriedly asked her subordinates to burn the stove and bring a charcoal basin.
Jiang Xuan didn't expect Jiang Song to run around for her father so much, thinking of the attitude of the third wife, and then looking at the second uncle and his wife, she felt embarrassed in her heart.
After she sat down, she asked, "Second uncle, how did you go outside to investigate?" ”
Jiang Song sighed and was silent for a while.
Jiang Xuan also understood in his heart that his father's matter was too big, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty remained silent, except for the Cui family, some of the other people who were good friends with his father were silent, and no one wanted to wade into this troubled water.
Jiang Xuan knows that it's no wonder that the first three wives in the house are like this? Usually it looks very good, but once there is a problem in the house, the third uncle is in a foreign position, and he has not spoken yet, and the third wife has already calculated that the momentum is not good, and she will either leave or separate.
This is the case with all of your own family, let alone outsiders?
Jiang Song was full of shame and said, "It's useless to be the second uncle, your father has always relied on your family, your eldest brother is in Jinling, and you can't enter Beijing without the emperor's will, and now no one is willing to help, which will affect you." ”
Jiang Song's eyes were red, and the second wife was also sitting on the side in silence, with a sad face.
Speaking of burdens, it is the big house that affects the rest of the family.
Jiang Xuan said in a low voice, "Don't worry, this is not necessarily a way, you can sleep well first, and then think of a way when your spirit is better." ”
Jiang Song nodded, let her go back to sleep first, her niece is very sensible, it is rare, but these things in the court are not something she can interfere in.
No matter how sensible and smart her niece is, she is a boudoir woman, how can she help?
Jiang Xuan had a lot of worries along the way, and there was no news from her father, so she was afraid that those officials would torture her to extract a confession, although it was not legal, but who knew about the torture in private?
It seems that she still has to find a way to go to the prison to see her father, after all, the prison of Dali Temple is a little better than the prison of Jinyiwei.
Seeing that Jiang Chong didn't let it go, the third wife just muttered to the people around her at first, wanting to split up, and when she returned to her parents' house, she went directly to the second wife.
"Second sister-in-law, now that the eldest brother hasn't come back yet, it seems that it doesn't have much to do with that young master Murong."
"I'm looking for it, it's better to split up early than if we were so difficult in our house now."
As soon as the third wife's words came out, the second wife's face did not change, as if she had expected it, but she pursed her lips.
"The third brother and sister said this, I don't know if the third brother knows? What does he mean? ”
The third lady tightened the handkerchief in her hand and said with a forced smile,
"Husband and wife are one, the master naturally agrees with my decision, besides, can't we all follow the eldest brother to the guillotine?"
The third lady pouted, "Now that we are not separated, what are you waiting for?" said that the two of us presided over the feed together, but you have the money. ”
"I said I wanted to eat something, but those people were just perfunctory, and if they didn't give money, they said you were tossing."
"We don't dare to ask the second sister-in-law for a bowl of water, but at least it should be about the same, so I want you to eat meat and give us soup."
The second wife had nowhere to vent the evil anger in her stomach, and her eyes were red as if she was about to fall into tears.
The second wife looked at the third lady with a pale face, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Brother and sister are heartbroken, we all live in the General's Mansion, and this feed is entrusted to us by the eldest brother, and there are always things to discuss.
Which subordinate would dare to treat you slowly?
Isn't this the brocade guard surrounding the house? Naturally, things at home can't be compared with before. Even when you go out, there are people watching from the sidelines. ”
In the past, the third wife has always been straightforward, and she spoke to the end, but today, I don't know if someone is behind the teaching, or what, she doesn't play cards according to common sense, just mourning and crying, and she doesn't blame the second wife, but starts from the next person, saying how they are.
It is also said that the tree is divided into large branches, and now it is necessary to keep a house, and in the future, there will be people who will offer incense to the ancestors of the Jiang family, and some people will help Jiang Chong and them clean up the bones.
The second wife looked at the third wife calmly, as if smiling,
"Brother and sister, I'm here to find trouble. What do you want? ”
"The eldest brother has not been convicted yet, is this a curse for the younger brother and sister? If you want to divide no one to stop you, it's just, where the third brother, you may be in charge? ”
"Over the years, the family has relied on the eldest brother, and I can't see it when the splendors are prosperous, but once there is something, there is no chaos outside, you come to dismantle your family's platform, and you refuse to carry the slightest burden.
It doesn't matter if the house is flooded or not, just take care of yourself and be comfortable, right? ”
The third wife was originally mourning and crying, and the handkerchief wiped her face, which would be picked up by the second wife, biting her lip to death, and finally she couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly threw herself on the table and cried.
"What do you say by relying on the eldest brother, our lord also made a name for himself in the imperial examination, if he didn't have the ability, the official would still fall down from the world to be him?
I'm just an ignorant woman, I don't care so much, I just know that once the eldest brother's crime is decided, it will be all over the house.
By then, it will be too late. ”
The second wife snorted coldly, "Yes, the third child came out of the imperial examination, but how many people did better than him in the exam, they are all still in Hanlin with qualifications, and they may be poor Hanlin until they die."
If it weren't for his father and eldest brother to deal with him, would he have been able to sit in the position he is in now? ”
"Even if Wenqu Xing goes down to earth, then someone needs to help him."
The third lady was silent and did not cry, but just wrung the handkerchief in her hand.
Half-loud, she said, "I don't care, anyway, I can't watch the people in our room go to death." ”
The second wife threw the tea cup in her hand on the table, making a 'bang' sound,
"You want to divide it, no one says anything, you just take someone out of it, anyway, our master is advancing and retreating with the eldest brother."
The third wife's face changed, I didn't expect the second wife to let go, but just they were separated from each other, so they wouldn't be poked in the back?
"How's that going to work? As far as we are divided, and you are not divided into rooms, does it not seem that we are ungrateful? ”
The second wife sneered, when did she become ungrateful again.
It's really a female cousin, and you have to set up a memorial arch.
The third lady had a calm face and looked at the second wife, "No matter how stupid I am, I know what you want to do, if you want to die in one room, then you have to separate it and die again, do you think this house is your world?" You can do whatever you want, don't forget, my mother is still there, her old man said that if she wants to score, then score. ”
The second wife was furious, the eldest brother had written to tell the third lady about the matter, but because the third lady was a woman, her mouth was not very reliable, so no one told her.
The old lady was locked up, and she only said that she was not in good health and needed to recuperate, and the third lady tried several times, but was blocked by the second wife.
The second wife lifted her eyelids to look at her, and said in a rambling voice, "My mother is recuperating now, and I don't dare to let her know about the eldest brother's affairs at all, you have to stab the matter to your mother, and when the time comes, make her old man angry, don't blame me, who is a sister-in-law, for being unreasonable." ”
The third lady smiled 'hehe', the smile was a little weird, she put her hands in her sleeves, but her eyes looked at the door, the second wife felt strange, and followed her gaze suspiciously.
At this look, his complexion changed greatly.
I saw Mrs. Jiang being helped by someone and walked in from the door, this is so long, Mrs. Jiang appeared in front of people for the first time, her face has soot, her figure is also a lot thinner, her cheeks are sunken, her face is full of wrinkles, the whole person is a mess of gray and obedient, looking not only mean, but also mean.
Her eyes were sharp, "I have to thank the third child for telling me something, otherwise I wouldn't know that such a big thing happened at home, and I haven't died yet, so you dare to hide it from me like this."
Who the hell is making a good deal of it? ”
When the third lady saw Mrs. Jiang coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and helped her, "Mother, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come, your daughter-in-law will be bullied to death." ”
Old Madam Jiang walked straight to the top position and sat down, and looked at the second lady coldly,
"If something happens to the boss, he will be beheaded, and you all hide it from me."
"Although he is unfilial to me, he is my child after all, and I can't leave him alone. Now the books and money of the family have been handed over to me, and I will go to find someone. ”
The second lady stood on the side, did not move, although her face was not obvious, but her heart was still anxious, the old lady looked like a nobody, didn't she just look at the eldest brother who was not in the house now, no one could cure her?
Moreover, when a 'filial piety' comes down, everything is the principle of heaven.
If I really want to give her all the money in the house, I don't know what will happen.
The third lady took the old lady out and thought that she would preside over the separation, but she didn't know that she was lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
Is the old lady such a simple person?
That's what her husband, who has been sleeping with her bed for decades, said he would kill.
Seeing that the second lady was motionless, the old lady's voice sounded sharply, "Do you also want to learn from the boss who is not filial?" Or do you want the boss to die in prison and let the whole family die with him? ”
There was a strange flush on her face, which made her haggard face even more sickly.
As early as when the old lady came in, the second wife made a color for her personal maid and asked her to call Jiang Xuan over.
While she was secretly anxious, she said patiently, "Mother, the eldest brother in the house handed it over to me, that is because he trusts me, if he doesn't speak, I don't dare to give you the silver." ”
The old lady covered her chest with one hand, panting, and slapped her other hand on the table with a 'bang' and 'bang', "It's the other way around, it's really the other way around." Couldn't I be the master of this family? ”
"Of course my grandmother can be the master of this family, but now that my grandmother is sick, it's better to go back and rest." Jiang Xuan walked in from the outside wearing a cloak.
During this time, whether it was the second wife or her, they only cared about their father's side, and the people in the house couldn't help but be a little loose, but they didn't expect to be contacted by the third wife and the old lady.
The old lady was upset when she saw Jiang Xuan, but thinking that she was an elder, pressing the word 'filial piety' could make Jiang Xuan throw herself into a bogey.
She sat upright, "At this time, as long as I am not dead, I will get up from my bed and go running around for your father." ”
Jiang Xuan sighed twice in her heart, what the old lady said was really righteous and righteous. People who don't know think that this is a good mother who thinks about her son.
But in fact, how many legs did those things drag my father to?
"Grandmother, what is going on, let's not go around the bush, what do you want to do when you come out, I know better than anyone else, do you really want to run for your father with the silver?
At this time, you probably wish your father died in prison, right? If you're dead, no one will lock you up anymore, no one will know what you're doing? “
"It's a pity, everyone knows about the things you did, so don't let you go back, that's to give you respect.
You are a grandmother.
Otherwise, I'll have you forked back into the yard. ”
Old Madam Jiang was so angry that she couldn't speak, her throat was full of fishy gas, she opened her mouth and wanted to scold Jiang Xuan loudly, but her throat seemed to hide a ball of blood, so that she could still make a 'buzzing' sound.
She looked at Jiang Xuan with a vicious gaze.
Jiang Xuan looked at her silently, with a calm expression.
Old Madam Jiang opened her mouth tremblingly with all her might, "You wicked obstacle, disobedient daughter. ”
Jiang Xuan laughed, approached the old lady, and said in a low voice,
"My respect is for those who deserve respect, but what about you? You killed your husband and killed your daughter-in-law with others, do you dare to say this?
If you dare to speak out, I will be able to make offerings to you like a bodhisattva. ”
No one heard what Jiang Xuan and the old lady said.
I saw that the old lady's knees were weak, her waist collapsed, and she collapsed on the chair, almost rolling off the chair to the ground.
Jiang Xuan coldly ordered, "Come on, send the old lady back to the courtyard to rest, and don't let her go out until she is completely cured." ”
Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Xuan in a daze, this evil girl, grabbed her handle, and didn't let her move.
She doesn't feel guilty, what is she guilty about?
Her greatest sin was to devote herself to her son.
No mother is sinful, and every mother deserves forgiveness and respect.
Because they gave their flesh and blood, their bodies, and their conscience for their children.
When she was first locked up, she really felt that the sky had fallen, but if she could make Jiang Chong relieve her anger, the gate would be closed.
Unexpectedly, something happened to him, and no one in this house told her, she hated him for keeping her all the time, and let her stay in the small Buddha hall surrounded by incense all day long, and she couldn't attend any banquet or see anyone.
Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, Jiang Xuan immediately said, "If grandmother doesn't go back to the Little Buddha Hall, there is a Zhuangzi at home hundreds of miles away from the suburbs of Beijing, and it is okay to move there." ”
Mrs. Jiang's face was stiff, she believed that Jiang Xuan could definitely do it, this granddaughter, like her father, was cold-hearted and cold-hearted.
The mother-in-law on the side picked up Mrs. Jiang very interestingly and walked out.
Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at the third wife.
People have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, which she can understand.
The third lady was in a hurry to split up, she didn't blame her, but she shouldn't have brought the old lady out.
There was no news of my father in prison, and there was a commotion in the house.
"Third aunt, I can understand your heart, but the separation of the family requires the consent of the third uncle, have you asked the third uncle what he means?"
She took out a letter from her sleeve, which was written by the third master, and she only arrived today, saying that the third room would advance and retreat with everyone, and he would also find some friends who had made good friends in the same year and worked for Jiang Chong.
She slipped the letter into the third lady's hand, smiled, and walked out.
The second wife chased after her and said apologetically, "Ah Xuan, thanks to your ......"
Jiang Xuan shook her head, the second aunt is good, but it is precisely because of the good that she can't control the old lady.
"Second aunt, now that the house is like this, I am a junior after all, and there are some things that still need you to come forward, at this time, don't care if it looks good or not, you must calm things down first."
The second wife looked guilty, she also knew her own temperament, and when there was nothing to do at home, she could still manage it.
But once there is something, she can't hold it down, just like just now, she also knows that it is best to lock the old lady in the small Buddha hall, but in the end she is still cowardly.
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Song said that they wanted to go to Dali Temple to see their father and asked him to think of a way, and at the same time, she also asked Mrs. Cui to talk to Master Cui to see if she could help.
Jiang Song didn't send the news over there, and besides, he didn't agree with Jiang Xuan to see Jiang Chong, if he could go in, it would be better for him to go in to see his brother, how to say that he was a court official, and he knew the law better than Jiang Xuan.
There was no news from his side, but Master Cui sent a message to him, saying that she should be ready tomorrow, the Dali Temple prison has been taken care of, and someone will come to pick up Jiang Xuan to see Jiang Chong.
It's just that before Jiang Xuan was ready, the maid from the second wife's side came over and invited her over, it turned out that someone from the palace had come to the palace, saying that the palace had held a plum blossom viewing party, and the Jiang family also got a post.
Such a sudden appearance made Jiang Xuan a little confused.
My father is still in prison, and the name of the prison is still the heinous crime of collaborating with the enemy, although it is said that it has not been sentenced, but the suspicion has not been lifted, and the palace sent a post at this time, is it good or bad?
However, no matter what, the palace sent a post over, and I couldn't help but go, and at the same time, the queen's mother knew that Jiang Xuan had just entered Beijing, and she also gave a grandmother to teach Jiang Xuan the etiquette of entering the palace.
In this way, she couldn't go to Dali Temple, so she sent someone to Cui's house to reply, and the person who sent the letter came back and said that Mrs. Cui said that she would also go to the palace to participate in the plum blossom viewing party that day, so don't be afraid.
The grandmother given by the queen was very kind, not only taught Jiang Xuan the etiquette of entering the palace, but also told Jiang Xuan about the things in the palace.
She told Jiang Xuan not to be nervous, the queen and the empress dowager are all very kind people, and how is the little prince talking to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan was a little nervous, but after listening to the grandmother's explanation, the tension in her heart slowly subsided, and she listened carefully to the grandmother's explanation.
Learn more, you can't be wrong, no matter how simple the population in the palace is, those high-ranking ladies outside the palace will also bring their women to participate.
Soon, he went to the plum blossom viewing party in the palace, because he didn't see Jiang Chong, Jiang Xuan was not in the mood.
Even if you're not in the mood, you still have to dress up.
Caiyun helped her dress up, put on various accessories, and waited until she saw the small seal hanging on Jiang Xuan's neck, and said,
"Girl, this thing always sticks out of the clothes here, or let's wrap it in a lotus."
Jiang Xuan put the small seal that Lin Yi gave in her hand, except for the sachet hanging on her waist, there was nothing else, she thought about it, when she gave this small seal, Mr. Lin once said to himself very solemnly that this can protect her and make her always carry it.
Thinking that there will be a lot of nobles entering the palace today, there will definitely be a lot of people at that time, or else, just wear this thing, even if you can't keep it safe, it's good to use it as a pendant.
The jade texture of Xiaoyin is very good, and it hangs on the waist, which has a unique charm.
After dressing up, before going out, Biyun put on a gray squirrel cloak for her, and when she arrived at the second gate, she met with the second wife.
The person who sent the post in the palace was really thoughtful, knowing that Jiang Xuan's mother was not there, and the old lady was also sick, so he asked the second wife to accompany her into the palace.
The carriage stopped outside the noon gate, this is the first time Jiang Xuan has come here, raise his head, and enter the majestic and solemn noon gate, and then enter, there is the luxurious vermilion palace wall, yellow glazed tiles, and the stretching white marble platform.
Everywhere shows the solemnity and nobility of the royal family.
All the way in, the little eunuch who finally led the way handed them over to a grandmother, who led them towards the imperial garden.
There was already a lot of laughter and noise inside, red plums reflecting snow, excellent scenery, and a group of women and high-ranking ladies were enjoying the plums.
Although the second wife is not strong enough, she has also seen such a scene, and she took Jiang Xuan to greet the Empress Dowager first.
Jiang Xuan followed her, according to what Mama taught, respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager, she didn't dare to look up at the Empress Dowager's appearance, just listened to the voice, she was a gentle, kind old man.
"This is the daughter of General Zhenbei?" The Empress Dowager asked gently.
Jiang Xuan stood there respectfully and responded, "Yes." ”
She half-lowered her eyes and looked at her toes.
The Empress Dowager asked the second lady how the old lady was doing.
The noble ladies on the side, the noble ladies looked at Jiang Xuan curiously.
Jiang Chong's affairs are known to everyone in Beijing, but they didn't expect the Empress Dowager to invite the Jiang family in.
Jiang Xuan had never appeared in the circle of nobles in the capital before, and knew that she grew up in the frontier, which would naturally make those nobles who did not go out of the door dare to be interested, so naturally there were some whispers to talk about.
Jiang Xuan didn't seem to hear it, just hung his hand and stood next to the second wife.
At this moment, another group of people came in outside, Jiang Xuan looked around, and saw Jiang Zhu'er in the crowd, this group of people should be the daughters of the Xu family.
It's just that Jiang Zhu'er didn't accompany the Xu family in Puji Nunnery?
How did you get into the palace?
