Chapter 186: Revealed
In the bamboo forest, the eldest lady of the Wang family personally buried the last doll, she straightened up, patted the soil on the hem of her skirt, a haggard face seemed to cry and laugh, she muttered to herself: "Ruofu, don't worry, my mother will immediately send that slut underground to make amends to you." ”
The confidant grandmother who was accompanying Mrs. Wang tearfully persuaded: "Madam, even for the sake of the eldest young master and the second lady, you have to cheer up." The eldest lady is the most filial, if she knows the spring, she must be reluctant to let you be so sad. ”
"Mama, it's my mother's incompetence that will hurt Ruofu." Mrs. Wang's hoarse voice was extremely sad.
Since Wang Ruofu's death, Mrs. Wang has been seriously ill. Today, where is she still dignified and gentle, not to mention the skinny skin and bones of the whole person, her eyes are deep-set, her face is sallow, and she looks like a ghost.
"Madam, I don't blame you, it's the old lady who is too ruthless. You've done a lot for this home. Mrs. Wang's confidant and grandmother looked distressed.
She watched Mrs. Wang become the head of the prime minister's house from a still immature girl, and how many intrigues she experienced during the decades, and even the eldest daughter who had infinite hopes from Mrs. was lost in the old lady's ambitions.
"Mama, let's go." Mrs. Wang looked at the new mud that had been turned out of the ground, and a hot tear fell on the wet soil.
"Mrs. Wang, please stay." In the empty purple bamboo forest, a sweet, soft voice suddenly sounded.
Mrs. Wang's figure suddenly froze in place.
I saw Xie Yanhe holding the emperor's arm and walking slowly from the other direction of the purple bamboo forest, wearing a begonia red gold pleated skirt dragging on the grass, like a gorgeous flower.
"Courtiers see Your Majesty." Mrs. Wang's pupils shrank, and she quickly knelt on the ground.
The heart in the chest cavity was beating "thump", and Mrs. Wang broke out in a cold sweat, and soon soaked the close-fitting clothes.
"I heard that Mrs. is doing something for Miss Wang in the temple, and the deceased is gone. Lady's Day mourning. Xie Yanhe said in a light tone.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, but because the emperor was here, she smiled very reluctantly, and said without being salty: "Thank you for your concern." ”
Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of banter in his peach blossom eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little delicate.
The emperor did not call out, and the eldest lady could only continue to kneel.
She chose to kneel very cleverly, and the wide skirt just happened to hide the marks of the new churning on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Wang family is still kneeling." After leaving Mrs. Wang dry for a while, Xie Yan reminded her softly.
The smile in Wei Zhaomo's eyes flashed, but his deep voice was cold and indifferent: "Calm down." ”
The eldest lady of the Wang family gritted her teeth. In the place where she knelt, there was a doll with the characters of Yonghe County Lord Shenggeng written on it, in case it was discovered by the emperor, her husband and children would be affected.
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to bet.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang turned a deaf ear to His Majesty's orders, Feng Yingpi reminded with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, Your Majesty told you to be flat. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty forgives your sins. The courtiers and Fang Cai sprained their feet and could not move, so please ask Your Majesty to condemn them. ”
"Madame sprained her foot?" Xie Yanhe covered her mouth in surprise, and she instructed Feng Ying: "Gonggong Feng, go and ask the monk doctor in the temple to come over and show the eldest lady her foot injury." If there is a hidden disease, Mrs. Wang will suffer in the future. ”
"Not necessarily!" Mrs. Wang's voice was a little sharp. Then she realized that her attitude was too sharp, and hurriedly said, "The courtiers thank the county lord for his kindness. It's just that men and women don't kiss, and the maid of the courtier has already returned to the palace for help, and the courtier's wife will let the mother-in-law of the house carry it back for a while. ”
When Xie Yanhe heard this, his eyes glanced lightly, and he said with a smile: "This is a pure land of Buddhism. In front of the Buddha, all living beings are the same, how can there be a difference between men and women, Mrs. Wang is afraid that she is too worried. ”
"The county lord ......" argumentative talent, Lord Wang is not Xie Yanhe's opponent at all, her lips squirmed for a long time, and she still didn't think of a reasonable statement.
Seeing this, the grandmother beside Mrs. Wang had to try her best to help her master make up: "County lord, Madame just broke her foot, it is not serious, so there is no need to mobilize the people." ”
Xie Yanhe's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the Kodan painted on the ten slender jade fingers, the bright red and the ice-like skin reflected each other, the redder the redder, the whiter the whiter, it was really beautiful.
Xie Yanhe quietly admired it for a while, and treated Mrs. Wang and her grandmother as a ball of air.
What kind of cat and dog dare to come to pick up the words of the county lord of Yonghe!
Feng Ying was in the inner palace, surrounded by smart people with bright eyes and bright hearts, like this grandmother who didn't know what to call a slave, it was the first time he had seen it.
He scolded with a cold face: "Presumptuous! In front of Your Majesty and the county lord, there is no room for you to be a minion! Is this the rule of the Wang Xiang's family! ”
Feng Ying scolded this, Sen Leng looked at Mrs. Wang, and said lightly: "Mrs. Wang, the county lord is not discussing with you, you just need to listen to orders." ”
When the eldest lady of the Wang family heard this, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and ask Xie Yanhe for her guilt: "The servant has no case, and I also ask the county lord to forgive me." After the courtiers return home, they will definitely discipline their subordinates strictly. ”
Madame was serious. You and I are in-laws, and my wife is injured, how can I ignore it. Xie Yanhe's tone was extremely harmless.
When it reached the ears of Mrs. Wang, she always felt that Xie Yanhe meant something.
"Alright, sleep, you should have had enough." Wei Zhao coldly watched Xie Yanhe and the verbal exchange with Mrs. Wang, and laughed in his heart.
This little girl is like a cat and a mouse, in Wei Zhao's opinion, it is just a battle of mood for a little girl. In the final analysis, it's all because it's hard to settle.
"Your Majesty always dismantles my platform." Xie Yanhe sneered at Wei Zhaojiao. Her gentle expression changed instantly, she raised her voice slightly, and ordered with an indifferent face: "Pull her away." ”
Although Jin Wuwei only listened to the command of the emperor alone, they also did not dare to slack off on the orders of the county lord of Yonghe.
Before Mrs. Wang could react, she was cut off by two guards and dragged away from where she was kneeling.
"You two, look what's hidden down here." Feng Ying commanded the two little eunuchs behind him.
Mrs. Wang didn't expect that she would be exposed so easily, and the look on her face was terrified, and she stared at the two little eunuchs who were digging the pit.
Mrs. Wang was not buried deeply. After a while, a small, boxy wooden box appeared in the excavated dirt.
One of the eunuchs hurriedly took out the wooden box, patted the dirt off the box with his sleeve, and presented it to His Majesty with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the minion found a wooden box."
"Open!" The expression on Wei Zhao's face was not distinguishable from joy and anger, and he said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The little eunuch opened the wooden box.
I saw a white doll lying in the box, the doll's body was full of long needles, and the characters of Shenggeng were written on it in blood, which looked extremely terrifying.
Xie Yanhe seemed to be frightened, and couldn't help but shrink into Wei Zhao's arms.
Wei Zhao hurriedly took Xie Yanhe into his arms, his warm palm rubbed Xie Yan and Qinliang's palms, and a pair of black eyes were full of murderous energy: "Bold!" ”
The eldest lady of the Wang family instantly collapsed to the ground.
……
The sun is setting in the west. After Wang Jin finished handling the palace affairs, he drank a cup of tea slowly, looked at Zhang Fuming who was across the table from him, and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated Zhang Xiang yet, with such a good son-in-law as Jiang Shaoguang, Zhang Xiang can be said to be like a tiger with wings." ”
"Haha, Dan Hao is polite. Don't you also have a good son-in-law like Xie Jiangming? The two of us don't have to congratulate each other. ”
Zhang Fuming has been in good spirits for happy events recently, and in the face of Wang Jin's yin and yang weird ridicule, not only did he not ridicule him, but even complimented him back.
Wang Jin's family knows his own family affairs.
Because of the rebel Xie Jin, he fell into disagreement with his only son-in-law. It's just that the granddaughter is also an ignorant person, and she will die when she dies, and she will be convicted of the county lord of Yonghe before she dies.
The old wife and son not only did not understand his difficulties, but even he resented him because of the death of his granddaughter.
Wang Jin has been overwhelmed by family affairs recently, but he still can't talk about his suffering. In front of Zhang Fuming, he still has to whitewash the peace as if nothing happened.
"Will be both civil and military, strategize, and earn enough face for my father-in-law. It is said that 'a son-in-law is like a half-son', even if my sons are not successful, and there is a good son-in-law like Jiang Ming, I have no regrets in this life. ”
Wang Jin said so, but his eldest son is a second-class heir, the second son and the third son are also from Jinshi, and the Wang family is a fourth-class jinshi, which has always been rumored to be a good story in Beijing.
Unlike Zhang Fuming's sons, except for his eldest son, who barely took the second grade 57 exam, the rest of the sons were just born as children, and they relied on Yin Feng to plan a bad and bad errand. There is no successor to the Zhang family, which is Zhang Fuming's biggest pain.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Jin's words came out, Zhang Fuming was suddenly connotated, and his smiling face was dyed with a faint gloom.
Although Zhang Fuming hated it in his heart, he was very deep, and the light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled lightly: "Dan Hao is too humble." Who in this capital doesn't know the good story of your Wang family's 'one door and four jinshi'. I have worked hard for the country for half my life, but I neglected the education of my children, which is not as good as Danhao. ”
Wang Jin sneered silently.
Zhang Fuming, the old horseman, is too brazen, obviously his own children and grandchildren are not talented, but he advertises himself as a saint who has done his best for the country, and he is not afraid to laugh off other people's big teeth!
"Zhang Xiang, I don't dare to take credit for this. You and I should sleep at night and be loyal to the country. I'm ashamed to say that over the years, all the children under my knees have been entrusted to my wife to take care of, but fortunately, the children are still obedient and have not grown crooked. ”
Wang Jin stroked his beard and smiled.
Zhang Fuming really wanted to smash his smiling face with a punch.
Maybe God heard Zhang Fuming's wish.
The chief beside Wang Jin came in a hurry, first confessed to Zhang Fuming, and then whispered a few words in Wang Jin's ear.
Although Zhang Fuming couldn't hear what Wang Jin's subordinates said, he saw that the smile on Wang Jin's face disappeared suddenly.
I saw Wang Jin suddenly stand up from the chair, and the big movement almost brought the chair down.
He even forgot to say hello to Zhang Fuming before leaving, and left with a grim face.
Zhang Fuming didn't know what was going on, but he just needed to know that this was not a good thing for Wang Jin!
The gloom in his heart was swept away, Zhang Fuming smiled and beckoned to his long-term entourage, lowered his voice and ordered: "Follow up and inquire carefully about what happened." ”
Chang Sui nodded and immediately ran out of the house.
Zhang Fuming raised his eyebrows, slowly left his seat, and walked towards the door.
Along the way, many officials stopped to say hello to Mr. Zhang. Zhang Fuming bowed his head one by one, and his good mood was almost undisguised.
Walking to the gate of the palace, Zhang Fuming collided head-on with his son-in-law.
Jiang Shaoguang saw his father-in-law and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Son-in-law greets father-in-law." ”
Zhang Fuming gently patted his son-in-law's shoulder: "Shaoguang, follow me back to the house, and our son-in-law will have two drinks tonight." ”
