Chapter 20: Worship
When she woke up, it was already slightly bright, and He Mian'er not only secretly thought in her heart, but she was so sleepy recently.
Although she slept for so long, He Mian'er only felt tired, as if she had had a long dream, but there was no impression in her mind.
But she was hungry in her stomach and kept singing empty city plans, so she had to get up by herself.
Ah Xiang, who was outside the door, pushed the door in as soon as she heard the movement, poured a cup of tea as usual and said, "Thank God, Mrs. Mian finally woke up, you slept silently for so long last night, but it was scary." ”
Seeing He Mian'er's face, Ah Xiang stopped talking with interest, and only said: "Mrs. Mian, you must be hungry, I asked the small kitchen to order some wontons for you to eat first, I haven't eaten for so long, don't be hungry." ”
Looking at Ah Xiang's distant figure, He Mian'er felt that although Ah Xiang was not very old, she had always been very thoughtful.
Probably hungry for a long time, He Mian'er actually ate a big bowl of hot wontons by herself, still staring at the rice bowl with unfinished eyes.
Ah Xiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Mrs. Mian, wait a minute, I'll bring you a bowl again." With that, he walked neatly back to the kitchen.
At breakfast, Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly walked over and said to He Mian'er mysteriously: "Mian'er, have you heard of it?" ”
He Mian'er was aroused by curiosity, after all, Sister-in-law Jiang has always lived in a simple house, and she doesn't care much about the disturbances of the outside world, I don't know what the news is, so she can pay so much attention to it. He shook his head and motioned for the other party to continue.
Ah Xiang had already brought a cup of tea with a very good eye, and Sister-in-law Jiang took a sip of tea, and said with joy on her face: "The news that came out last night, I heard that King Chen killed himself." ”
He Mian'er was shocked, she never thought that she had just heard that King Chen had been captured a few days ago, and she had committed suicide so quickly, which was really unexpected.
Although King Chen committed a heinous crime, after all, the Queen Mother is still alive, and King Chen is the emperor's only biological brother. Just looking at this relationship, if you don't kill yourself, you will have a chance to live, but the price is to be imprisoned for the rest of your life.
He Mian'er didn't know why, but at this time, she actually remembered Xie Wanqing. Although her second marriage may be greedy for King Chen's monstrous power, coupled with the fact that there are many people in Beijing, after all, she has children and power, and she has lived a nourishing life in the past few years.
Now that the dead Xu Yunqing has returned safely, she has become a widow overnight, which is really unpredictable.
Sister-in-law Jiang continued to lower her voice and said: "There is news in Beijing, I heard that King Chen and the Huns should cooperate with the enemy and betray the country, so Uncle and their battle was known to the enemy in advance, and the whole army will be annihilated." ”
He Mian'er suddenly realized that she had committed such a crime, didn't she say that her life was difficult to protect, if she was an ordinary person, she was afraid that she would be connected to the nine clans.
After all, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a capital crime, the kind that Ling Chi executes.
"There is news from the palace, this time the evidence is full, the emperor heard about this, he was furious, and he fell several times just the thing. Even the sick Queen Mother's plea was closed, and it seems that the emperor is determined to execute King Chen's family this time. Sister-in-law Jiang continued to whisper, "It has been spread all over Beijing, and Xie Wanqing and Chen Wang's young son, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape death this time." ”
Probably mentioning the child, Sister-in-law Jiang, who has also become a mother, couldn't help but be moved: "Alas, this is really a sin." We, who are mothers, can't hear such things the most. ”
He Mian'er only felt a sense of helplessness in her heart, that child, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, was also cute.
"Childish and innocent ......" The words that Xie Wanqing said in the bamboo forest that day sounded in her mind couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm afraid that Uncle will arrive in the capital in two days, so you have to prepare well in advance." Sister-in-law Jiang comforted He Mian'er, then patted He Mian'er's hand and said, "The little uncle is a kind and righteous person, you should take care of it more." ”
He Mian'er knew that Sister-in-law Jiang was for her good, for fear that she would say something bad about Xie Wanqing and hurt Xu Yunqing's heart, and the relationship between the two was divided.
However, there is affection and righteousness, and Sister-in-law Jiang is even more afraid that Xu Yunqing will make some nostalgic moves, which will make He Mian'er feel a gap in her heart.
While the two were chatting, the old lady sent a servant to invite them to the main house.
He Mian'er helped Sister-in-law Jiang to cross the door, only to see the old lady holding a stick of incense in her hand and respectfully bowing to the tablet three times.
He Mian'er knew that the old lady must have gotten the news. However, since this matter has been able to reach the ears of a person like Sister-in-law Jiang, who lives in a simple place, it shows that the emperor intends to let everyone in Beijing know about it.
"Since you two are here, I will give your father and Yunchang a stick of incense." The old lady's face did not show any joy, and her face was solemn, but after all, she had a great revenge, and her heart was happy.
"Our Xu family has always been loyal to the country, one family has three fathers and sons, and two of them died on the battlefield. That King Chen was able to communicate with the Huns, so that Yun Qing almost died in battle, not to mention, our Xu family also carried the shameful reputation of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. "The old lady is talking about gnashing her teeth.
After all, Xu Yunqing can be said to be the only support of the Xu family at that time, and today's saint is afraid that he believed King Chen's slander and believed that Xu Yunqing betrayed the court and took refuge in the enemy, so he ordered the house to be raided.
If it weren't for the fact that the general's mansion was full of women and children, the Xu family had killed two men for the country, and I was afraid that the rest of the people would be at risk of being killed.
On the one hand, it is to calm the anger of Xu Yunqing and the people, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the emperor will shirk his responsibility.
He Mian'er guessed that the old lady should have also thought of this, so she and Sister-in-law Jiang respectfully stepped forward, lit a stick of incense, and bowed three times.
"That King Chen deceived me that there was no one in the general's mansion, and he lost his conscience, and now he deserves it. If the old man can see Yun Qing come back alive and revive the prestige of my general's mansion in his lifetime, it can be regarded as a death without regrets. Even if you get to Jiuquan, you can have an explanation with your father. ”
The old lady finally spoke in a much more relaxed tone, after all, she was old, she lost her second son in a row, the general's mansion was infamous, and her former daughter-in-law had such a big scandal, and the old lady had been holding on so that she would not fall.
Sister-in-law Jiang stepped forward to make a cup of tea and said comfortingly: "Now is the time for you to enjoy happiness, and Shaodong has slowly grown up." When Yun Qing has a few more children, the family will be lively, isn't it the time to enjoy the joy of family. ”
Hearing the child, the old lady finally had a smiling face, took a sip of tea, glanced at He Mian'er's stomach, and advised, "You have to hurry." ”
He Mian'er didn't dare to let her know that she had eaten the avoidance soup, so she only nodded.
A few people were sitting and chatting when they heard a commotion outside.
