Chapter 177: Plug in
The two carriages stopped at the entrance of the government office, so that the people who wanted to leave at the door couldn't help but pause.
Who is this? Come to the government at this time? Is there another case? The people who couldn't get enough of it couldn't help but look twice.
A middle-aged man with a white face and a beard who got down from the carriage in front of him, saw many people surrounding them, and immediately frowned impatiently, and with a finger of his hand, a sharp and somewhat harsh voice sounded.
"Are you still going to leave after the case is over? What to watch? My master is also something you can watch? ”
The person who listened to this voice was shocked, and Qiao Ran was shocked when he heard someone whispering in his ear: "This is the father-in-law in the palace." ”
Qiao Ran looked at Pei Qingqing, Pei Qingqing looked back, grimaced at her, and turned around casually.
"Are you a child of the Pei family?" Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask again, "Who is your father?" ”
Can ordinary children see their father-in-law? Only those who have entered the palace or even been in and out of the palace all year round know that the voice of their father-in-law is like this!
This made Qiao Ran even more sure that Pei Qingqing's birth must not be ordinary, not to mention, she and Ah Sheng are also very familiar with each other. Qiao Ran was a little annoyed, she knew this was the case, and asked Zhang Xie when they left the capital.
It's just that I was thinking too much about things at the time, and I didn't pay attention to this little point and just stayed, staying by her side and not leaving.
Pei Qingqing pouted: "My father and mother are my father and mother!" ”
"I thought you didn't have any money because you ran away from home, but when I returned to Jinling, I found that the Pei family didn't say which child you lost." Qiao Ran felt a little strange.
Looking at Pei Qingqing's reckless and free appearance, she definitely doesn't look like a concubine who is not valued by a big family, generally speaking, children who are not valued are always a little restrained and difficult.
can look at Pei Qingqing's appearance, but it is definitely not like this. But Pei Qingqing has been hanging by her side for so long, but no one from the Pei family has come to the door, which is really a bit contradictory.
Pei Qingqing looked at her and blinked, as if she was thinking about something seriously, and after a while, she tilted her head to look at her and asked, "Are the Pei family's children rich?" ”
Does this point seem to be a big deal?
Qiao Ran was stunned by her question, thought for a while, and said: "It should be, these children of the big clan have a case of silver every month, such as a family like the Pei family, there should be a lot of money in the clan." I didn't look at Pei Xizhi like he was short of money before. ”
Pei Qingqing sighed and stopped asking.
The father-in-law, who got out of the carriage first, retreated from the onlookers, then turned around and walked to the carriage behind him, set up a footstool, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in a brocade robe and a jade crown walked down from the carriage.
"This is the prince of Xiuwang." Pei Qingqing whispered, and then hid behind her with a smoke, "You block me, I don't want to be seen by him." ”
Recognizing the prince of Xiu, Qiao Ran was even more sure that Pei Qingqing's identity was not ordinary, so when she heard the words, she moved to the side and blocked Pei Qingqing.
The appearance of the prince of Xiu Wang is good, the Great Chu Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and this generation has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is not easy for people in the clan to be ugly.
Just look at it seems to be a little reluctant but unwilling to do it.
After stepping off the carriage, he went directly to the palace.
"This Xiu Wang Shizi is really proud," after he entered the mansion, Qiao Ran couldn't help but shake his head, "I didn't even look at others when I came in." ”
Pei Qingqing glanced at her and said, "You are good-looking, he still looks at you more than others." ”
Qiao Ran: "...... Then do I still want to express my gratitude to the prince of Xiu Wang for looking at me more? ”
Pei Qingqing thought about it seriously and said, "Then forget it, just take a look at you." The eyes of the people of Xiuwangfu have always been on the top of their heads, and you will know it later. ”
"With such eyes above the top, is King Xiu very favored?" Qiao Ran thought about it and asked Pei Qingqing.
Pei Qingqing stretched out her hand.
Qiao Randang took out a handful of candied fruit from the purse on her waist and put it in the palm of her hand: "Say it!" ”
Pei Qingqing immediately took it happily and said: "Actually, it's all about the same, my aunt said, the holy favor is something that can't be seen or touched, and relying on the holy favor is the most unfeasible." There are several princes in the capital like King Xiu, and King Xiu's Mansion is just one of them, you don't have to worry. ”
"Seeing that the son of the world is not worried, only impatient, I am not worried." Qiao Ran said, "I'm just curious about who this old lady is. ”
Pei Qingqing ate the candied fruit and said vaguely: "Anyway, you will know soon." ”
Qiao Ran saw her gobbling up, and couldn't help but say: "I like to eat sweets so much, I will have tooth decay and toothache after careful consideration." ”
"What is tooth decay?" Pei Qingqing waved her hand disappreciatively, "My father doesn't get tooth decay after eating so much, and I won't grow either." ”
She said, "Why does this child like sweet food so much!" It turns out to be in the same vein.
"Then your dad is amazing." Qiao Ran said helplessly.
……
The prince of Xiu, who was above the top, was indeed as they guessed, and he left in less than half an hour, and it is said that he didn't even drink a sip of tea.
After watching the prince leave, Qiao Ran went to the backyard to find Zhen Shiyuan.
Seeing her coming, Zhen Shiyuan didn't say much, and directly handed Xiuwang something to her.
This is a genealogy of the Xiu Wangfu.
"Fang Li is the daughter of the old prince." Zhen Shiyuan said, "Although he is not named the county lord, he is indeed a member of the clan." ”
Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "In this way, the current King Xiu is the brother of the Fang Li family, but the age of the King Xiu is not much different from the old men of the Fang family!" ”
"When the old prince was thirteen years old, he secretly tasted the forbidden fruit with a maid beside him, and the maid was pregnant with an heir, and it stands to reason that he was going to be defeated, but the maid had a big life and survived, and after the old prince succeeded to the throne, he appeared in front of the old prince with Fang Li. The old prince was romantic, and he preferred the maid and maid, so he kept it outside, and recorded the Fang Li family on the family tree. But this matter is disgraceful, and Xiuwangfu has never mentioned it to the public. ”
The old princess from a famous family naturally regarded the Fang Li family as a thorn in her side, and when the Fang Li family got married, she did not complain about marrying her into a merchant family like the Fang family, and she never mentioned the identity of her clan. Therefore, the old prince only feels that he owes a lot to this daughter. Thirty-five years ago, the old prince moved his hands and feet to make up for his debts. Zhen Shiyuan said and glanced at Du Ziheng.
offended the Xiuwang Mansion, so Du Ziheng served as the old county magistrate of Yuhang for thirty-five years.
Now that the old prince and the old princess have died, their previous speculation that the power of the Fang Li clan is not as good as it was back then is correct. Not to mention that the current Xiuwang is a serious heir, will he have a sister-brother relationship with the other Li family?
If there were, it would not have been left unattended for so many years.
The dispute between the concubines has existed since ancient times, not to mention that the background of the Li family is still so disgraceful, but why did the serious Xiuwang run out at this time to intervene?
