Chapter 1162: Taboo
Even the old lady had inadvertently mentioned it before, but at this moment she had vaguely mentioned it.
"Old lady, let me first hear from you that my mother-in-law has a sister?" Wang Yongzhu didn't let it go and asked directly.
The old lady's face stiffened, and she said unnaturally: "Yes, in the Qi family, your mother-in-law's generation, there are only two daughters, one is your mother-in-law, and the other is your mother-in-law's cousin Qi Le." β
"So where is she now? Was she also demoted to an official slave when she raided her home? So who bought her? β
The old lady hesitated for a moment before whispering: "The matter of the girl is a taboo. I was already married before the Qi family raided the house, and I heard that I was still married far away, but after I got married, there was no news for so many yearsββ"
"Far from married? Where did you get married? Wang Yongzhu asked urgently, and seeing that the old lady didn't seem to want to mention it, she hurriedly explained: "Don't blame Yongzhu for her gaffe, the old lady really has broken the bloodline of the Qi family, and all the men of the Qi family who were exiled at the beginning have died." If the mother-in-law's cousin is still alive, she will be the only relative of the Qi family in this world. β
The old lady's face softened a little, "Not many people know about this now, even me, because of my good relationship with the Qi family, I vaguely heard about it." Le Yatou married far away back then, and it was related to the palace, it is said that it was a matter of secret in the palace, and those who knew it back then, those palace maids and eunuchs died hundreds of people, and the rest were given a gag order. β
"It was said that the girl was married far away, but there were no three media and six hires, and I didn't see anyone come to ask for marriage, so quietly, the person was gone. At the beginning, I also asked the Qi family, and the Qi family only insisted that it was a distant marriage. Someone once asked Qi family members in public outside, but they were all found in the palace afterwards and punished a lot. No one was stupid, and after that, no one talked about it anymore. β
Wang Yongzhu was stunned when he heard this.
The old lady over there thought for a while before saying, "I guess I'm just afraid that something bad will happen to Le Ya, but it's just for the sake of sound, so I said that I was married far away." Ruole girl is really still alive in the world, with her temper, the Qi family has suffered such a big disaster, can she not come back? Either I went a long time ago, or I was weak-"
Wang Yongzhu kept the old lady's words in mind, calmed down, and asked carefully: "Why was the Qi family raided back then?" Is it really because of a few words from Scholar Qi that he offended the first emperor? β
The old lady recalled that year, and couldn't help but show a little panic: "Back then, Scholar Qi was originally a prince, and he had been teaching several princes in the palace, and he was quite respected. In the early morning of that day, I began to hear that they were all good, but I don't know how, the first emperor suddenly became angry, scolded the Qi scholar, saying that he was bullying the king, and then ordered to copy the Qi family......"
"At that time, the adults who had a good relationship with the Qi family pleaded for the Qi scholars, and they didn't know what happened to the first emperor, but they didn't let go, and who ordered them to intercede, just like the end of the Qi family, and no one dared to intercede for the Qi family anymore. A few days later, I heard that there were adults mentioning the Qi family, and the first emperor was furious, and the adult who mentioned the Qi family was also directly dismissed. From then on, no one dared to mention the affairs of the Qi family. β
Thinking of the scene back then, those adults who interceded for the Qi family were beaten and dragged home half-dead, or dismissed from office.
There are also many people who are not on good terms with the Qi family in the past, taking the opportunity to make waves, everyone in the court is in danger, and when they go to the court in the morning, they don't know if they can come back.
It wasn't until the death of the first emperor and his current accession to the throne that this person's heart stabilized.
In those days, the Song family was also implicated because they were the in-laws of the Qi family, and the grandfather of the old country was also beaten in the court because of this, and he was dragged back dying.
If they hadn't taken the opportunity to get in touch with Rongyi County Jun and marry the Gao family, I am afraid that the Song family would not be able to escape the doom of being raided and exterminated.
During that time, the people in the house were panicked, and they didn't know the holy decree of raiding the house and tomorrow, which would come first.
Looking back at this moment, the old lady couldn't help but defend the Song family and Song Hong: "Back then, it was really not that our Song family didn't save us when they saw death, but that the first emperor was determined to deal with the Qi family. It's not that our Song family reneges on the marriage contract, it's all forced to do so. Qi Huan's girl is already an official slave, so this marriage contract naturally can't be counted. Moreover, if he hadn't married the Gao family, I was afraid that the Song family would be ruined now. β
"I know that Brother Jin resents his father in his heart, blames his father! But this is all current affairs to make people, and it is all something that cannot be helped. His father can't watch the whole house fall up and down with the Qi family, right? If there is really resentment and hatred, he will come at me, an old woman, and I forced his father to marry Gao, and I blame me-"
Saying that, the old lady couldn't help but hammer her chest, and the old tears were all over her face.
Wang Yongzhu hurriedly stepped forward to give the old lady a good sigh: "The old lady said this, where am I and the prime minister?" We don't resent our father for that! Old lady, please rest assured, Xianggong is not that kind of person, he understands it! β
Of course, Song Chongjin understands that he hates it not that Song Hong didn't save the Qi family when he saw death, the emperor gave an order, who can save it? Who can really ignore everything and take all of them to save the Qi family?
He hated Song Hong so much, for his own selfish desires and selfishness, he kept Qi Huan as an outer room, and he didn't think about the love of the year at all, ruined Qi Huan, and caused Qi Huan to die early!
I hate it even more because of Song Hong, who was born but not raised, for the sake of interests and others, let the Wang family poison himself and chase down his own indifference!
The hatred was that Song Hong ignored them in front, and when he saw that Song Chongjin could struggle out of the quagmire and saw a little value, he didn't care about it and wanted to bring them back to the capital.
From beginning to end, Song Hong never asked Song Chongjin if he was willing?
The old lady naturally didn't know what Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu really hated, but when she heard Wang Yongzhu say this, she was relieved, not to mention anything else, as long as Song Chongjin, the child, was really as Wang Yongzhu said, and she didn't hold a grudge against the past, she would be able to put her mind at ease.
After crying like this, the old lady is old after all, and she is a little tired when she calms down.
It just so happened that Mama Fang had already prepared lunch and sent it up.
Because of Wang Yongzhu's proposal, he really made a noodle soup, in snow-white flour, beat eggs, stir well, and add water to make a paste.
Then bring a pot of clear soup to a boil, and gently stir the paste into the clear soup to make a snowflake-like noodle soup.
Take it out, spread it with washed cabbage, pour it with broth, and sprinkle it with green green onions, which is very beautiful.
Serve with a few side dishes.
The old lady's mood fluctuated too much this morning, but she was really hungry, and she was refreshed when she looked at the noodle soup, Wang Yongzhu accompanied her, but it was rare to eat a bowl, and she only said that it was fragrant.
Mama Fang happily only recited the Buddha, only pulled Wang Yongzhu, and begged her to come to sit with the old lady more in the future, and send more cabbage or something.
Wang Yongzhu listened to the past of the Qi family today, so he naturally reciprocated and agreed.
Seeing that the old lady was full, she looked a little sleepy, so she said goodbye with interest.
The old lady didn't keep her, only let her come over to do it if she had nothing to do, and gave her a box of pearls for Wang Yongzhu to take back to play.
