Chapter 336: Rumors in the City
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
Just when Wei Xiyue was dealing with the matter of becoming an official in the court, she suddenly received a letter from Xiao.
Wei Xiyue pinched the envelope, looked at Xiao's handwriting on the envelope, and couldn't help frowning, she somehow had a very bad premonition, which made her hesitate to open the envelope.
But eventually it has to be opened.
What surprised her a little was that she didn't say anything in this letter, only asked her to go back to see Liu, Wei Xiyue always felt that something was wrong, but it was good that nothing happened after all, plus she had indeed not been back to Weifu to see her mother for a long time, so she simply cleaned it up and went back to the house to see her mother the next day.
Maybe it was because Xiao didn't tell the news that she wrote a letter to ask Wei Xiyue to come back, and the Liu family was very surprised when she saw Wei Xiyue, she put down the account book she was reading at that time, and hurriedly greeted her, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Xiyue, why did you come back suddenly, you didn't let anyone tell your mother, and your mother could prepare your favorite food for you earlier." There was some anger in Liu's tone, but Wei Xiyue knew that she was very happy.
So Wei Xiyue hugged Liu's arm and said like a little girl, "Mother, don't be so troublesome, wouldn't it be good for me to come back?" ”
The two walked into the house like this, and after chatting for a few words, Liu asked Wei Xiyue with a worried face about her going to become an official in the court.
"Xiyue, I heard that you are going to enter the court as an official, although this is a good thing, but since ancient times, this young girl has entered the court as an official, and my mother is very worried about you. And my mother wants to know, how did you persuade the emperor to let you enter the court as an official? Liu Shi grabbed Wei Xiyue's hand and said, she looked up at Wei Xiyue, her face full of worry.
Wei Xiyue held Liu's hand with her backhand, tightened it, and said, "Mother, don't worry, the matter of becoming an official in the court is something I have wanted to do a long time ago, no matter what it is, I am not afraid, you know, I will definitely be able to do what I want." ”
Hearing Wei Xiyue's words, Liu's face also changed a lot, and the gentle smile on his face returned to before, "Okay, my mother believes in you, if there is anything useful to my mother, my mother will always help you." ”
Wei Xiyue nodded, and continued, "And in fact, this time I didn't propose it first when I wanted to become an official in the court, but it was proposed by the Holy Lord first, you should know that I got the first place in the academy's strategy, and the first can get a promise from the emperor." The emperor probably brought up the matter of letting me enter the court as an official because he was afraid of my father's former subordinates, but no matter what, this is a good opportunity for me, and I am ready. ”
Liu knew that Wei Xiyue had always been the most assertive, so he didn't intervene about what she wanted to do, and instead asked about Wei Qinghe.
"Speaking of which, my mother hasn't seen your brother for a long time, I don't know how your brother is doing in the barracks now?" Maybe when her mother is always like this, she always has things to worry about, so after talking for a while, Liu's face appeared worried.
Wei Xiyue said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, now our Qinghe has grown into a big man, and she is already a little general in the barracks, she wrote to me before, saying that she is doing well in the barracks, let us not worry about it." ”
Hearing Wei Xiyue say this, Liu's face completely showed a relieved smile, "Okay, this is great, you are all good children, all of you are so promising, Yang is really happy." ”
Or maybe it's because people always like to be sentimental when they're older, and they smile and laugh as they pass, and I don't know how tears come out again.
Wei Xiyue hurriedly took a handkerchief, hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of Liu's eyes, and said with a smile, "Mother, why are you crying when you laugh and laugh?" ”
Liu took the handkerchief from Wei Xiyue's hand and wiped himself up in a hurry, "Mother...... Isn't my mother happy? I can't control it for a while, let's not be here, and I can't always sit with me, my mother will prepare something delicious for you. ”
Liu Shi said that he was about to get up and go to the kitchen, Wei Xiyue hurriedly followed her, accompanied her to the kitchen to give her a hand, the two chatted for a while after eating, and it was not until Liu Shi fell asleep that Wei Xiyue left her side and went to find Xiao.
Although Xiao didn't say it explicitly in the letter, Wei Xiyue always felt that Xiao still had something to say to her, so she took this opportunity to find her.
Xiao was also waiting for Wei Xiyue to come, and when he saw Wei Xinyue, he didn't have the slightest suppressed look, but said, "Xiyue, you're finally here." ”
Wei Xiyue didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "You asked me to come back, besides letting me see my mother, do you have anything else to say to me?" ”
Xiao nodded, "Xiyue, you may not know that the old lady in the entire Wei Mansion is most afraid of you, so every time you leave, the old lady will always think of a way to make things difficult for your mother, although your mother always has a way to avoid it, but she is not like you to directly confront the old lady, and recently it is also because the old lady is making things difficult for you, and the death of your mother is becoming more and more frequent, so I want to call you back." ”
It's the old lady again, Wei Xiyue shook her head, secretly pressed the unhappy feeling back to the bottom of her heart, and she still looked calm and self-contained on the surface.
"I know, thank you, if there is anything in the future, you must tell me in time, no matter what it is, I will definitely rush back." Wei Xiyue said to Xiao.
Seeing that Xiao nodded, Wei Xiyue left and turned her head to the old lady's courtyard.
The old lady also just received the news of Wei Xiyue's return, and when she heard that Wei Xiyue was coming, she didn't react much in her yard, but just waved her hand and asked people to bring her in.
"This female officer finally has time to come back and have a look?" The old lady looked at the patterns on her sleeves to herself, and she didn't even give Wei Xiyue the corner of her eye.
Wei Xiyue didn't care very much, and said directly, "That's not it, the female official still has to come to take care of the house, after all, there is an old woman in the family who is powerful all day long, if it is spread out, it will not sound good." ”
As soon as the old lady heard Wei Xiyue say this, she suddenly couldn't pretend to be calm, and shouted at her directly, "Who do you say is powerful?" Do you still have elders in your eyes? ”
Wei Xiyue smiled faintly at the old lady, "Old lady, there are a lot of old women in this house, such as the grandmother next to you, and the old mothers in each room, what are you doing with such a big reaction?" As for the elders? Of course, I have it in my eyes, but I don't recognize the kind of elders who will oppress their daughters-in-law. ”
You! You ......" The old lady pointed at Wei Xiyue, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Wei Xiyue didn't care at all, and glanced at the old lady lightly, "Old lady, I advise you, even if you have the most power in this Wei Mansion, you'd better treat my mother well, otherwise I have a way to make you unable to live a comfortable life." As long as you don't offend us, I can also teach you to serve comfortably, so that others will know that your old lady Wei teaches her children well, is kind and kind, and it depends on you what kind of result you want. ”
The old lady grabbed the teacup next to her and threw it in the direction of Wei Xiyue, and suddenly, the tea mixed with the tea leaves splashed everywhere, and the teacup also shattered into dozens of broken porcelain pieces and fell to the ground, but there was no trace of Wei Xiyue's body.
"I don't need to! You let me go! The old lady was really dizzy by Wei Xiyue's threatening words, her chest fell together, and even her steps were a little vain, but she still held on and didn't sit down.
She didn't want to lose face in front of Wei Xiyue.
Although she has no face to speak of.
The old lady said so, Wei Xiyue naturally wouldn't stay here without interest, and simply turned around and left.
Chen Meifang heard that Wei Xiyue had come to find the old lady, so she hurriedly rushed to the old lady, but happened to bump into Wei Xiyue and leave this scene.
Chen Meifang originally wanted to hold Wei Xiyue, but when she saw the old lady standing in front of the hall and crumbling, she hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady, and the old woman fainted directly in Chen Meifang's arms.
Chen Meifang suddenly panicked, and shouted twice, "Old lady, old lady, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me! ”
The old lady didn't react at all.
Chen Meifang cautiously took her finger to look at the old lady's snort, and saw that the old lady was still a little angry, so she was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted, "The old lady has fainted, call the doctor quickly!" Come on! ”
Soon, Wei Xiyue's unfilial piety and the fact that she was angry with the old lady spread all over the city.
The civil servants who were already opposed to Wei Xiyue's entry into the court as officials immediately seized the handle and wrote to the emperor one after another, demanding that Wei Xiyue's official position be abolished.
Even in the court.
"Holy! The most poisonous is not a woman's heart, it will suck blood, even the old lady Wei can faint, it can be seen that this person has a bad character, she was already a female official who has defied the world's disapproval, and now that she has done such a thing, she should abolish her official position, don't let people see the jokes of our court! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the court was full of echoing voices, and some people even said that if Wei Xiyue's official position was not abolished, he would have to return to his hometown.
The emperor was overwhelmed by these ministers, but he had no choice but to withdraw from the court and postpone the matter for further discussion.
But how could these ministers give up? So there was a message about Wei Xiyue, which intensified in the capital. , the streets and alleys are spreading.
"Have you heard? The emperor's newly appointed female official seems to be the one who won the first place in the strategy, but she almost killed her grandmother to death! ”
"Also, I heard that her first strategy was all obtained by cheating!"
Such rumors, whether true or false, spread throughout the capital, and the situation for a while all pointed to something unfavorable to Wei Xiyue.
