Chapter Seventy-Three: The Pot of Sesame Seeds
These are all things that Han Chuan figured out by himself after he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare at night.
She has always been curious, according to Mama Zhong's temperament, it is impossible for Xiao Qiu'er to kill her because she washed a piece of clothing.
In the first 20 years of the Huanyi Bureau, there was no precedent for beating a female envoy to death.
But Xiao Qiu'er died.
Later, she saw Mama Zhong, who was also released at the gate of the palace, and suddenly understood - why did Xiao Qiu'er die? Because of the grandmother who took care of this group of poor girls, she left the palace.
In this life, she carried the freshly ground sesame paste to beg Mama Zhong to take care of the little lady who was targeted by the evil dog, Mama Zhong didn't say anything on her face, but she tried her best to set up the rule of "going out into a pair", for which she also offended the steward of the second gate and the head of the court...
Han Chuan's face did not move at all, but his heart was turbulent.
In the palace, I am used to seeing a man-eating dog, and occasionally seeing a person is like seeing a Buddha.
The little lady lifted her chin lightly and sat next to Mama Zhong.
Mama Zhong cast a beam of eyes at her.
Han Chuan turned his head and glanced at Mama Zhong.
This little lady... It's not the same as when I was in the palace...
This thought flashed through Mama Zhong's thoughts, and then she was pulled back by a shrill voice.
"Sister, don't just say you want to leave at every turn, where can you go in the huge capital?" Lian Mei's knuckles knocked on the table, and she was extremely rhythmic one after another, "When you left the palace, you went to your sister, if you left me, you would be guilty of bullying the king." ”
Han Chuan smiled.
Lian Mei saw the sneer on the corner of Han Chuan's mouth at a glance, and was afraid that there was a hungry wolf-like cub standing next to her, so she endured it and snorted coldly, "This girl is also from the palace, right?" I can understand that you feel that your sister has been wronged, but don't you indiscriminately help and believe in it, right? It's freezing on this day, it's the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the sisters are talking to each other, the old and young sisters are leaving, even if I stop people in the wrong way, and what I say is wrong, you can't come up and shout and kill and report to the official! ”
Mama Zhong glanced at her sister, closed her eyes, and let out a long breath of relief.
"Since it is a matter between sisters, what do you do with others?" Mama Zhong's voice is very soft, and her strength is very weak.
Lian Mei and Ah Liang glanced at each other, pursed their lips, and didn't speak.
Mama Zhong looked up at the hall of this small mansion, and a wry smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
A small house, a secluded place, three or two vegetables, fruits and melons...
She has been up and down in the palace for decades, trying her best to collect money and save money, just for the day she left the palace.
Now there is a house, there is money, and there is a secluded place, but it is not hers.
Mama Zhong tightly clutched her only remaining baggage, "You said that you want to buy a house for Xiaobao to get married, and the head of the household can't write me, because Xiaobao and I are just nephews, if I can't pass Xiaobao's head after a hundred years, I thought about it and agreed, and the head of the household became Xiaobao's name; You said that Xiaobao wants to study, and he wants to go through the door of the Guozijian, and he will take three or five hundred taels of silver, and I will also agree; You said that Ah Liang wanted to do business, but the family had no capital, so he asked me to borrow a hundred taels of silver, even if I could pay dividends after I became a shareholder, I didn't even ask you to pay the IOU, and I should have all of them..."
Mama Zhong took a deep breath, her hand was forceful, and the green tendons on the back of her hand burst out, "Now you say that Xiaobao still needs five hundred taels of silver to find a way to miss the scientific exam, I really have no money... It's all my coffin book! ”
Han Chuan turned his head away and closed his eyes compassionately.
This is the case with many palace people.
This is the case with many old palace maids.
The palace is exhausted, and he is smart.
Out of the palace, but was asked by the family, some of the money that was saved with great effort was deceived by the family, and some were out of the palace at the age of twenty or thirty, and as soon as they left the palace, they were put on a red hijab by the family and stuffed into a sedan chair, casually married to a widower, a cripple, a fool...
The calamities that have been avoided in the palace should all be on the so-called "family".
Outsiders who know how to guard against seeing each other every day but have no relatives and no reason, but they dig out their hearts and lungs for the "blood relatives" they haven't seen for decades.
Mama Zhong is such a shrewd person...
Lian Mei's voice was sharper and stronger than that of Mama Zhong, "Sister, you nodded your head and you are willing!" He stood up suddenly, "You entered the palace at the age of twelve, and your old father and mother are all taken care of by your younger sister, have you ever contributed to it?" My sister was not able to marry until twenty-four or five because of the poverty of her family, and she lived in a thatched house with her husband who did odd jobs. Now it's just a little money to borrow you, and you're like this! You remember, you have no queen under your knees, you are dead, but Xiaobao carries the coffin and incense for you! ”
"Smack!"
Han Chuan slapped on the table and raised his eyes, "Then I will pass my nephew to Mama Zhong's name, change my surname to Zhong, and go to the government for the record!" In the future, Xiaobao will give Mama Zhong a pension to the end, if he serves well, this huge family property and Mama Zhong's private house will definitely be indispensable to him! ”
The only son is adopted...
Ah Liang's eyes widened, and he rushed out, "Let go of your mother's shit!" ”
Han Chuan smiled gently, "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, you have this abacus to fight, you want the wolf to be your own, you want the child to be your own - be a man, you can't look at the mountain and the mountain is high, you want everything, you will be beaten if you eat too ugly." ”
Ah Liang was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to beat Han Chuan.
Taps, taps, and the sound of hurried footsteps.
Followed by Xiao Shuang'er, panting, he entered the hall with Hu Wenhe, who was wearing a six-grade official uniform.
Seeing that Han Chuan really invited an official to come, Lian Mei Ah Liang's legs were weak, and she immediately knelt on the ground.
Han Chuan and Mama Zhong are the female envoys released from the palace, according to the law, they don't kneel down to officials below the fifth grade - don't forget who the female envoy in the palace kneels to, if they are released from the palace, everyone will kneel, wouldn't it be a shame for the heavenly family.
Mama Zhong got up and blessed the blessing.
Han Chuan smiled, "Master Hu, you're here." ”
Hu Wenhe looked around, "um", saw Ah Liang, who had a big waist and a round waist, kneeling on the ground and trembling, and remembered the little girl on the road just now who described it vividly, "... The man's heel, when he opened his mouth, he roared, and when he raised his hand, there was a gust of wind, and he was not allowed to leave the old female envoy who let him out of the palace, nor was he allowed to leave our shopkeeper - our shopkeeper's thin arms and legs, Xiao Latty blushed when he saw people, I am afraid that it is not the man's food! ”
The hall was skinny, old, old, small.
This man is the most bluffing.
Hu Wenhe let out a breath and snorted, "The female envoy released by the Heavenly Family will be under the control of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and if she violates the law, she will also be dealt with by Jingzhao Mansion." You and the common people are so bold that they dare to detain the two female envoys who were released without permission! According to the law, he shall be punished with thirty rods and two hundred silver! ”
