Chapter 171: Intercession
Seeing that the county lord was ruthless at all, the maids in the flower hall were suddenly silent.
Only Pearl knew that the kick that the county lord kicked into his chest didn't even have the strength of three points.
"County Lord, what's wrong? Who you off? β
Mama Gong, who was found to save the scene by Zhan'er, hurried over, and when she saw the situation in the house, she suddenly felt a sigh in her heart.
Xie Yanhe's anger had subsided, and looking at Mama Gong, who was sweating in a hurry, she curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "I can't move these maids, Mama is here, and I just sold them all." β
"Little ancestor, these girls have made you angry, and it's up to you to kill or maim them. People like us can't let the girl out indiscriminately. β
Mama Gong personally made a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Yanhe: "County Lord, you first moisten your throat and dissipate your anger, the girl is disobedient, and she has her own slave to help you teach you a lesson." β
Mama Gong said, and hurriedly glanced at the pearl.
Pearl glanced at Xie Yanhe timidly, and saw that her face was cold and her eyebrows were awe-inspiring, so she had to retreat with tears.
After the maids in the house were cleaned, Mama Gong held Xie Yanhe's shoulders and pressed her to the couch, and then persuaded softly: "County Lord, pearls, amber, lilies, these maids have followed you since childhood, and they are the most loyal." You're like this today, but you've broken their hearts. β
"Mama, it's these girls who bully the masters, and they don't even listen to my orders."
When Mama Gong said this, Xie Yan and his heart were cold, and he added a few more grievances.
"If even my own girls don't look at me, do you still want me to count on the cherry girls?"
Mama Gong raised her hand and stroked Xie Yan and a bright and soft green silk, sighed lightly, and said softly: "County Lord, you just want to be narrow." She told me everything. β
Mama Gong said, like when she was a child, she took Xie Yanhe into her arms and slowly patted her back, which was tense into a bowstring.
"County lord, you allow the slaves to say something that you don't like, the girls are sincere to your heart. Their life and death are all tied to your thoughts, how dare you rebel! It's just that His Majesty is not an ordinary person. If he is just an ordinary prince's mansion and provokes your displeasure, you don't need to tell him, the slave and maid will bring someone to the door, even if someone dies, there will be a marquis to carry it for you; But Your Majesty, he is a gentleman, think about Chen Ajiao, and then think about Huo Chengjun......"
Mama Gong said, tears were falling, she didn't know the grievances of the county lord.
His Majesty forbade the county lord's feet with his front foot, and sent a reward with his back foot, a slap and a sweet date, but anyone with a little temperament can't bear it.
If it was placed in the eunuch's house, the elders of the family would have already made the decision to withdraw from the marriage, but the county lord was married to the king, so he could only endure this breath.
This is also the reason why the maids are afraid to throw out the imperial gifts.
"Chen Ajiao, Huo Chengjun......" Xie Yanhe's face was pale, she laughed miserably, and said quietly: "But Mama, if I endure it today, what will happen in the future?" Will I have to endure it all the time in the future, and how long should I endure it? β
Mama Gong couldn't answer this question, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, and she held Xie Yanhe's shoulder and wept silently.
Xie Yanhe's voice was light and shallow: "Mama, I've been putting up with it for three years." β
She gently pushed away Mama Gong, got up from the couch, and raised a pair of eyebrows into a sharp arc: "Someone!" β
"County Lord." As soon as the mandarin duck man entered the courtyard, he heard Xie Yanhe's order.
Xie Yanhe was stunned: "What, you are also here to persuade me?" β
"County master, what did the slave advise you to do?" The mandarin duck had a very puzzled tone.
She chuckled: "Don't worry, Pearl is not sensible, and the slave has already taught them a lesson." As for the two baskets of cherries, the slave and maid personally poured them on the street in front of our Hou Mansion. The slave and maid also specially instructed the porter to clean up after today. β
Xie Yanhe was very happy in his heart. She "snapped" and slapped her palm, the haze in the peach blossom eyes was swept away, and the two black eyes were like shining gems: "Good girl, you still understand me!" β
Mama Gong took advantage of Xie Yanhe's unpreparedness and glared at the mandarin duck fiercely. This girl is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, if it reaches the ears of His Majesty, can the county lord still have a good life?
"Mama, if the first marquis and the first lady are still here, they will definitely not watch the county lord being wronged." Faced with the warning in Mama Gong's eyes, Mandarin Duck directly moved Xie Yu and his wife out.
Although His Majesty has posthumously named the first marquis as Duke Xie Guogong, Mandarin Duck is still more accustomed to the previous title.
Mama Gong thought of the love of Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou for the county lord before her death, and sighed, and could only suppress her worries in her heart.
β¦β¦
Inside the Qianyuan Palace.
Hearing the news of Qinglongwei's announcement, Wei Zhao folded the black lacquer painted dragon pattern lake pen in his hand into two sections.
"Feng Ying!" Wei Zhao shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty." Feng Ying stepped out of the ranks and bowed to the emperor.
"Go and send two baskets of cherries to the Marquis of Jingping's mansion."
Feng Ying raised his head suddenly, only to see that the emperor's face was as heavy as water, he was startled, and hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "The slave obeys the order." β
Feng Ying's mouth was as if she had eaten a bitter gall, and she went on an errand with bitterness.
This is really a fight between gods and a disaster for mortals.
The two baskets of cherries that His Majesty just sent have been thrown out by the county lord of Yonghe, and this is another two baskets! With the temper of the county lord of Yonghe, how could he accept it!
Feng Ying thought with a bitter face that her errand was destined to be ruined.
Wei Zhao crumpled the rice paper on the table.
Xie Yanhe's temperament is too strong, too rigid and easy to break! Wei Zhao was going to slowly grind her temper so that she could become more submissive, but now this girl even dares to throw away the imperial gift, what else does she dare not do!
It seems that the ban is not enough, but also to make her cold, otherwise she won't even know how to write the word "afraid".
β¦β¦
It was only an hour before the mandarin duck threw the cherries, and Feng Ying took two baskets of fresh cherries to the Hou Mansion. It's just that this time Feng Ying is even more miserable. I didn't even enter the door of the Hou Mansion.
The porter's face trembled, and Feng Ying, who was unhappy in front of him, immediately knelt on the ground: "Father-in-law Feng, please spare the villain's life." The county lord ordered, if anyone dares to accept the reward in the palace, he will be killed directly, and all the old and young of the family will be sold. There is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and a three-year-old child, please be gracious to your father-in-law......"
"Shut up!" Feng Ying scolded impatiently.
In the past, Feng Ying didn't even bother with the officials of the fifth and sixth grades of the court, and if the porter dared to bump into him in normal times, he would have been beaten to death by the guards. But as the saying goes, "it depends on the owner to beat the dog", who let this porter belong to the Xie family.
Feng Ying and this porter would be dirty when they said a word.
"Let's go back to the palace."
He looked at the tightly closed vermilion gate of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion, and his face was unlucky. In desperation, he had to ask the guards to put two baskets of cherries at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then returned to the palace to report to the emperor.
"People are gone?" Xie Yanhe was lying on the railing of Tingyuxuan, holding a handful of fish food in his hand, and slowly scattered it towards the lake.
Colorful koi fish swim over to grab food, and their nimble tail fins slap heavily on the water's surface.
"The people left, but the things were not taken, so they were placed at the gate of our Hou Mansion." Seeing that Xie Yanhe had finished sprinkling the bait in his hand, the mandarin duck hurriedly handed over the blue and white cup containing fish food.
Xie Yanhe poured it again and threw it to the surface of the lake.
"Let the pearls go to the Zhuangzi. I don't need disobedient people around me. Xie Yanhe opened his mouth nonchalantly.
Mandarin Duck's heart jumped, but he didn't expect that the county lord had not yet revealed this matter.
Thinking of the sisterhood in the past, the mandarin duck pleaded softly for the pearl: "County lord, this girl is also concerned about chaos." You might as well give her another chance to make meritorious deeds. If there is a next time, the punishment for the two crimes will be combined. β
"But you think I'm unkind?" Xie Yanhe held his hand with one hand, and a pair of bright peach blossom eyes stared at the sparkling water, and the glimmer of his eyes was deeper than the lake in front of him.
The mandarin duck shook his head: "Pearl made a mistake, so naturally he should be punished." The slave is afraid that the newly brought girl will not be easy for you to use. AndγAnd ......"
The mandarin duck wanted to speak and stopped.
"Come on, you're not hesitant." Xie Yanhe laughed, his light tone was quite self-deprecating, "I don't know when I made you dare not even say a word." β
The mandarin duck hurriedly said: "County master, the slave doesn't dare, but I don't know whether to say it or not......
"Say what you want." Xie Yanhe frowned slightly, and his delicate and beautiful eyebrows were full of displeasure.
Sensing the impatience in her tone, the mandarin duck gritted his teeth and said, "Pearl is kneeling in the courtyard now, and no one can pull it up." The slave persuaded her a few words, but she was very sad, and she repeated one sentence over and over again, saying that she was sorry for the county lord. β
Hearing this, Xie Yanhe's fingers loosened, and a large handful of fish food in his hand was scattered on the water. A bright red koi fish even jumped high above the water in order to grab food, making a "pop" sound when entering the water.
After a while, Xie Yan and Cai said lightly: "That's it." You tell them that it's not an example. β
Hearing this, the mandarin duck was surprised, and said crisply: "The county lord is magnanimous, and the slaves and maids have thanked the county lord on behalf of the pearls." β
Xie Yanhe glanced at the mandarin duck with a smile, and the meaning in his tone was unclear: "You have a deep sisterhood." β
The mandarin duck's heart tightened, and he was about to kneel down to ask for guilt, but he saw Xie Yanhe raise his hand: "Go down, let me be alone for a while." β
Xie Yanhe sat alone in the open pavilion, the breeze was blowing, sending a burst of sweet floral fragrance, the wisps lingering on the tip of his nose, refreshing people's hearts.
Xie Yanhe's heart was relieved, and the corners of his lips were hooked. It's her own thoughts. Except for his father and brother, the man's words could not be trusted. Why should she be sad and angry about this?
If you really have this spirit, it might as well be put at the Cui family's banquet.
Did Mrs. Wang really think that the evil things she had done were seamless?
I want her to taste the taste of being ruined but indefensible!
