Anyi Marquis Mansion.

Before dawn, Xu Qinghuan got up and followed the cook to make two plates of red bean cakes, and then went to serve Mrs. Xu to freshen up.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but complain when she saw Xu Qinghuan: "You children should sleep for an extra hour, what are you doing here so early?" ”

Xu Qinghuan pretended to be aggrieved: "Grandmother doesn't like to see her granddaughter? Are you afraid of eating the snacks made by your granddaughter? ”

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I like to eat, how many plates did I make this time?" I'll eat everything I don't have left. ”

Xu Qinghuan took the jasper hairpin from the housekeeper's mother and put it on Mrs. Xu with her own hands: "After eating the red bean cake made by her granddaughter, grandmother will know where the best dim sum in the world is." ”

Mrs. Xu said deliberately: "Where?" ”

"In my grandmother's belly." Xu Qinghuan said and leaned on Mrs. Xu's shoulder.

This made Mrs. Xu laugh non-stop: "You monkey, you are becoming more and more disagreeable, tomorrow I should ask you to ask a female gentleman to teach you well, so as not to go to your husband's house in the future and be disgusted by your mother-in-law and husband." ”

"Then I won't marry," Xu Qinghuan raised his head and looked pitiful, "I still have to suffer when I get married, I'll be at home, anyway, the Anyi Marquis Mansion doesn't lack a bite of food for me." ”

"What nonsense."

Xu Qinghuan immediately felt that his buttocks were gently slapped by his grandmother: "No matter how good your mother's family is, you have to grow up, and you will have your own flesh and blood in the future, so that when you are old, someone will serve you wholeheartedly, and only then can there be a monkey like you under your knees, and only then will someone not dislike you for being old and sick." ”

Mrs. Xu was talking about this, Mrs. An Yihou entered the door, and Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and pointed: "There is such a good daughter-in-law to take care of you and help you manage this big family, when the time comes, you only need a look, and the daughter-in-law will arrange it clearly, looking at these people, you can not be lonely, you know?" ”

Grandmother's words made Xu Qinghuan's heart sour, in fact, after her previous life, she really didn't want to get married, she just wanted to live a good life with her grandmother, father, mother, and brother, but in her grandmother's heart, she deserved something better.

"Grandmother," Xu Qinghuan said, "If I stay in my mother's house, I will also be an aunt and grandmother that no one dares to mess with." ”

"Quickly beat her out," Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. An Yihou with a straight face, "There is an unfilial daughter from the Xu family, I don't want to see her." ”

Saying this, she hugged Xu Qinghuan tighter, and when she looked down and saw Xu Qinghuan's big clear eyes, Mrs. Xu couldn't help laughing, and immediately broke her skills.

Mrs. An Yihou looked at this scene, and couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, although the court had not yet issued a document, everyone knew that Hou Ye was going to lead troops to Changzhou.

In the past two days, Hou Ye went to the camp outside Beijing to watch the training before dawn, and then went to the military department to discuss matters, and seeing this busy appearance, he would leave within ten days at the latest.

Mrs. An Yihou was afraid that Mrs. Xu was worried, so she deliberately came over to talk to Mrs. Xu early, but she didn't expect Qing Huan to arrive one step earlier.

"I'm fine," Mrs. Xu said, "you don't have to worry about me, my son I know in my heart that he is a restless person, as long as he is comfortable, no matter what he does, I just hope that he can dress warmly, sleep well, eat well, and get old...... I can see everything. ”

said so, but after all, it was her own flesh and blood, how could Mrs. An Yihou not understand that kind of feeling.

"Grandmother," Xu Qinghuan said, "you grew up in Changzhou, what was Changzhou like when you were a child?" ”

"But it's prosperous," Mrs. Xu said, "You see the bustle in Beijing, Changzhou was better at that time, there are many strange things everywhere, and there are many people walking on the street, those people speak strangely, and there is a smell on their bodies, everyone says that they can't stare at them, otherwise their eyes will change color, I don't believe them, I sneaked out with my subordinates, and bought a lot of strange things from a fan." ”

Xu Qinghuan smiled: "Grandmother always says that I am lawless, but follow my grandmother? ”

Mrs. Xu looked disgusted: "I didn't see it." ”

A few people laughed again.

Xu Qinghuan said: "A few days ago, my grandmother also returned to Changzhou, how is Changzhou now?" ”

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "On the surface, it's not bad, but there are no merchants on the street, there are a lot of goods sold in the market, and the prices are very expensive. ”

Mrs. An Yihou said: "Isn't that a good thing? Everyone sells the same, so that there is no fighting. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Qinghuan: "What do you say, girl?" Is that good? ”

Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It's not good, there will be some fighting in business, today's loss and tomorrow's profit are all to open their own business routes, and the sudden quietness can only mean one thing, that is, someone controls Changzhou's business, especially maritime trade, and everyone has to listen to their arrangements." ”

Mrs. An Yihou understood: "It is the Zhang family who controls all this? How many bad things the Zhang family has done, now that Zhang Yucong is in prison, will the situation in Changzhou also improve. ”

Mrs. Xu sighed: "It depends on the creation of Changzhou...... When the emperor was there, Changzhou was quite peaceful, and the great power of the foreign relatives really hurt a lot of people, if it were not for the officials of the Zhang family, they did not dare to go to Changzhou to serve, and even a small county had to pay a lot of offerings every year. ”

Mrs. An Yihou said: "This daughter-in-law knows, two years ago, Changzhou did not punish a few corrupt officials, and the Zhang family failed to protect people, the emperor was furious because of this corrupt official, so that the queen mother was implicated, at that time Cining Palace was setting up a banquet, and the daughter-in-law was also among them, the emperor belatedly did not say, just worshiped the birthday and left, the queen mother seemed to be calm, but the whole banquet did not say a few words, and then the queen mother sprinkled her anger on the female officials around her, and this matter slowly subsided after a long time. ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "The female official that my mother said is Rong Xiao. ”

Mrs. An Yihou nodded: "Rong Xiao is pitiful, she was sent to King Jian's mansion as a concubine...... Alas, a girl was ruined like this. ”

Rong Xiao's matter, Mrs. An Yihou, like many people, only knew this, Xu Qinghuan remembered the appearance of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace when she mentioned Rong Xiao, she seemed to be very calm, but in fact, her eyes flashed with a little disappointment.

The Queen Mother was very disappointed in Rong Xiao, the female officials around her served her for many years, and she was finally kicked out of the palace by her, there can only be one reason, that is, Rong Xiao betrayed the Queen Mother.

In the Changzhou incident, what role did Rong Xiao play?

Mrs. Xu said: "I checked a few officials, made such a big move, but the situation in Changzhou is still the same as always, I went back to Changzhou this time, I heard that the few people who denounced the corrupt officials, are no longer in Changzhou, presumably by the Zhang family retaliation, everyone tried their best to bring down a corrupt official, thinking that there would be a good life, who knew that a surname Zhang came to a surname Wang, the same insatiable, the same lawlessness."

Now that the imperial court has finally thoroughly investigated Changzhou, it has finally done a good thing. ”

Xu Qinghuan suddenly remembered Wang Yun, isn't Wang Yun also a Qing official who has been praised by others?

The person behind Wang Yun seems to like doing such things very much, and he uses shady means behind his back, but he wants to stand in front of people with vigor and be supported by the people.

Such a person is even more terrible than the Zhang family.

Xu Qinghuan clarified his thoughts, if Rong Xiao betrayed the Queen Mother and was given to King Jian by the Queen Mother, then Rong Xiao was doing something for King Jian?

Could King Jian be the person behind Wang Yun?

……

Jane's Palace.

Rong Xiao looked at the woman in the mirror.

The woman smiled: "Am I beautiful?" ”

Rong Xiao nodded: "Beauty, you are the most beautiful woman." ”

The smile on the woman's face disappeared: "Then why does he dislike me?" Do you remember what he said to me? ”

Rong Xiao swallowed and began to shake her head.

The woman said: "He said that I am a cheap person who can be a man, and I am also a cheap person in my belly, and I am not worthy of standing by his side, let alone being favored by him...... I ......"

Before the woman could finish speaking, Rong Xiao covered her ears, and her face was full of pain.

The woman continued: "I should have died a long time ago, and I have no face to live in this world. ”

Rong Xiao screamed.
