Zhu Mingde was beheaded for public display, confiscated his family property, and all his four sons were deprived of their meritorious reputation, and they were not allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations.

Feng Xiaoyu and Qingshu said: "I wish the old lady a book of guilty excerpts, otherwise Zhu Mingde's four sons will not only be deprived of their fame, but will be exiled." ”

"The old lady is so influential?"

Feng Xiaoyu said: "Of course. When the old lady and the emperor met in Weimo, the monarch and ministers still had some feelings for more than 40 years. If it weren't for Zhu Mingde's death and taking refuge in the five princes, he would not have been beheaded, at most he would have been exiled. ”

"The human heart is insufficient."

Feng Xiaoyu let out a long sigh and said, "That's the case, but it can be taken from the dragon's work!" How many people can resist this temptation! ”

"There was only one one person in that position. Once the wrong treasure is pressed, the whole family will die. ”

Feng Xiaoyu glanced at her and said, "It would be nice if you could be as sensible as you." ”

"By the way, I heard that you haven't been to the Ministry of Rites for a few days? What's the matter, I don't want to quit this errand? ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my chest is a little stuffy these days." Anyway, it was okay to go, so I stayed at home and rested. ”

Feng Xiaoyu said unhappily: "You don't tell me if you're not feeling well, do you still treat me as a friend?" ”

"It's just a little bit of a problem, just take a break."

Feng Xiaoyu said worriedly: "Don't fight, your body is important, if you are not happy in the Ministry of Rites, you will resign and return to Wenhua Hall." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said: "Don't quit for the time being, it's not too late to find a suitable opportunity to quit in the future."

She didn't know that the eldest princess had been paying attention to her movements, and when she heard that she had taken a three-day leave, she asked her to investigate.

Mo Qi told the eldest princess the results of the investigation: "Princess, Miss Lin asked the housekeeper to find an old catcher, and now he is placed in the house in Plum Blossom Lane. In the past few days, Miss Lin has gone to Plum Blossom Lane when she asks for leave. ”

Because I thought that I would return to Wenhua Hall in case I stayed in the Ministry of Rites soon, so the house in Meihua Lane was kept and not rented out.

"What's so special about that old catcher?"

Mo Qi shook his head and said, "That old catcher used to serve in Bazhou and solved many cases. However, at the age of forty, he was wounded in the pursuit of a prisoner, and was left in the yamen to do some miscellaneous work. He couldn't get used to it, so he applied to be transferred to the prison as a jailer. In the first two years, when he was older, he let his younger son take the place of this errand and go home to raise him. ”

There is no problem with this head-catcher's life experience, and he can't fight with Qingshu.

The eldest princess didn't understand what Qingshu's idea was: "Withdraw the people!" The officials of the Ministry of Rites have all isolated her, and it is beyond my expectation that she can survive for so long. ”

"Princess, I think I can transfer Miss Lin to my department as an errand."

The eldest princess shook her head and said, "She is not suitable for this, and she will not do this." ”

"Then let her stay in the Ministry of Rites?"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Just let her stay in the Ministry of Rites, I think this child should surprise me." ”

Mo Qi felt that the eldest princess was too optimistic. The Ministry of Rites is full of stubborn old men, what can they do if they stay in that place. It's just a matter of the eldest princess's decision, and she won't say much.

Because the Zhu family is not separated, it stands to reason that copying the family property is only the private property of the second room. It's just that Feiyuwei didn't care so much, and confiscated the second room and several surrounding yards.

Fortunately, the county lord knew the virtue of the Flying Fish Guard, and in case they had already sent someone to guard the main courtyard and the courtyard where they lived, as well as several warehouses at home. So in the end, although a lot of things were damaged, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones.

The county lord looked at the ruined mansion and said, "All these courtyards are sealed, and we will rest when the limelight passes." ”

At this time, the house was renovated with great fanfare, not in the eyes of the emperor!

At this time, the big butler rushed over, knelt on the ground and said, "The county lord is not good, the old lady is gone." ”

The handkerchief in the hand of the lord of Jiade fell to the ground, and the whole person shook: "What did you say?" ”

"I just got the news, the old lady is gone."

The county lord of Jiade stabilized his mind and immediately ordered the housekeeper to go to the gate of the county lord's mansion to hang white flags and white lanterns.

Qingshu told Mrs. Gu about this: "I wish that the old lady must know about this and can't stand the blow." ”

Old Madam Gu sighed and said, "The old lady worked hard to support the entire Zhu family, but as a result, the entire family was almost destroyed because of the unfilial piety of his descendants. ”

Fortunately, Master Zhu has been in the noble and troublesome yamen of the Hanlin Academy, and he is married to the lord of Jiade County, otherwise the big house may not be able to escape this catastrophe

Qing Shu heard the words and said: "Grandma, Master Qi also died of illness, and Old Lady Qi couldn't stand the pain of losing her son and went with her, so Aunt Qi will not come to Beijing in a short time." ”

"When?"

Hearing that it was last year, Mrs. Gu said, "Your aunt is really true, why didn't you tell us about such a big event?" ”

"There's nothing to say. My aunt and Master Qi have been dying for a long time, and his death will not affect my aunt. ”

Old Madam Gu was very sad when she heard this: "Your aunt has been harmed by her all her life. ”

has been a widow in the Qi family for more than 30 years, how can outsiders know the sadness of this. Fortunately, her old sister is open-minded, and she can't stand it anymore if she is an ordinary person.

Qingshu said: "Grandma, my aunt suffered in the first half of her body, but now she is blessed when she comes." Uncle Xiang Di is very filial and takes good care of his aunt. ”

"Yes, your aunt suffers the first half of her body and the second half of her body is happy. Unlike me, the first half of my body is blessed and the second half of my life is suffering. ”

Qingshu said with a straight face: "Grandma, I'm not happy when you say this." Grandma, An An and I will definitely let you enjoy your old age in peace. ”

This old lady Gu believed, but she couldn't let go of Gu Xian: "Your mother is a can't be carried, I feel bad just thinking of her." ”

Qingshu was silent and said: "She told her aunt that if Uncle Shen died, she would be martyred, and her aunt gave her a knife and said that if she dared to cut it, she would believe her." As a result, she couldn't get her hands dirty. ”

Later, my aunt went to the Six Banyan Nunnery for fasting and retreat, and took her there. Let her go down to the ground to experience life, but it's hard to do it; Let her copy the scriptures, and after two days of copying, grinding blood blisters and not doing it again. I was going to go down the mountain, but my aunt didn't want her to go on a hunger strike."

Old Madam Gu smiled bitterly: "She has never suffered a little since she was a child, how can she stand the hardships of the nunnery." ”

Qingshu said again: "She also told the people in the nunnery that she was obviously good for me and An An, and she didn't understand why we had to cut off relations with her." Grandma, my mother never felt that she had done anything wrong. ”

Old Madam Gu looked bitter: "Your mother is spoiled by me." ”

Qingshu said bluntly: "Grandma, it is impossible to take my mother to the capital. Whether she lives with me or An'an, it will disturb me and An'an. ”

Old Madam Gu nodded with difficulty and said, "I know, I won't force you to do what you are not far away from An An." ”

Qingshu is no longer willing to compromise, and compromise is actually connivance with Gu Xian. Whether she is selfish or unfilial, she never wants to live in the same city as Gu Xian.
