Chapter 134: Something Happened to My Hometown
As soon as Zhong Xiaoshu returned home from the palace, he immediately asked Nianwu to count all the rewards, and locked them in the warehouse along with the congratulatory gifts from the various mansions that had moved before, and they were not allowed to be used without permission.
Although Nian Wu was a little puzzled, he still did it honestly.
In the evening, Yin Zhige came back, and when he saw Zhong Xiaoshu's sad face, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything unpleasant about entering the palace to enjoy the flowers today?" Have you been wronged by bullying? ”
"No, don't think about it." Zhong Xiaoshu hooked the corners of his mouth, as soon as he saw that he was unhappy, he felt that he had been wronged, it was really because people like Zhong Xiaodi had "bullied" her in the past, leaving a shadow on Yin Zhige.
"But I have something to tell you." Zhong Xiaoshu straightened his color, pulled Yin Zhige back to the room, sent everyone away, and told him one by one about the Nine Emperor Princes who accidentally rescued the Nine Emperor Princes who fell into the water when he entered the palace today, and the meeting with the queen.
In the end, he sighed, "Now that you have entered the imperial court, these disputes must be indispensable." Today's queen has this trick, half forced and half induced, so that I have accepted so many heavy rewards, I don't know how many of these rights and wrongs will be in the future. ”
Yin Zhige hugged her and gently comforted, "Xiao Shu, you have actually done a good job in the face of the queen's mother, neither humble nor arrogant, nor overly flattering, leaving a lot of room for me here." ”
After that, he bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "These things were originally involved in you after I entered the court, since the emperor gave the mansion, how many of these noble ladies have you dealt with, and you look a lot tired." ”
"I'm facing tricks between women, and it's the real bloody wind above the court." Zhong Xiaoshu shook his head gently, "You see, now the queen mother also wants to compete for that position, but I heard you say that at the moment, His Majesty clearly favors the three princes the most, so there must be a scene between the concubine and the queen." ”
Speaking of this, Yin Zhige couldn't help but nod solemnly, "And in addition to the third prince, the second prince holds most of the military power of Tianqi, and the Black Qi Army is an elite team, even if it is not liked by the emperor, but the strength should not be underestimated." ”
Zhong Xiaoshu let out a long sigh and lay sideways into Yin Zhige's shoulder, "These princes and ladies have to fight in the ring, and they have to get involved with us, which really makes people feel a little tired." ”
Yin Zhige tightened his arms and said with a smile, "Since you don't like it, then don't think about it, just leave it to me." Xiao Shu, the first thing you should think about now should be our wedding. ”
The depressing and dull atmosphere suddenly dissipated, and Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't help but smile, and his eyes bent into Yin Zhige's arms......
Unexpectedly, on the second day, the queen sent a personal palace maid to wash and send back the light blue dress that Zhong Xiaoshu had changed out in Yufu Palace, and by the way, she also rewarded a box of exquisite snacks made by the imperial chef.
When Zhong Xiaoshu took the clothes and snacks, he really didn't know what expression to make, so he could only secretly give the queen's means a thumbs up in his heart.
What a great character! It is very set to win people's hearts!
This Zhong Xiaoshu politely sent away the palace maid, and Zhao Linglong, who was reprimanded by the queen, came to the door again with a puff of anger, and took her good sisters to the house again before she would give up.
Zhong Xiaoshu said that he was able to persuade people to go back, and he heard Nianwu shouting outside, "Madam, there is an urgent letter from the post station!" He said it was sent from Wangcheng. ”
Did the late lady write to herself again?
Zhong Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, Rong Wanxia is not too cute compared to these queen princesses.
picked up the envelope and looked at it, but it was not Rong Wanxia's handwriting, and it was clearly written: Uncle Zhige's father Qi.
It's Yin Zhiyuan.
If nothing major happened, how could it not be that Rong Wanxia wrote a letter, but let Zhiyuan, a half-old child, suddenly write a letter to the capital.
As soon as Zhong Xiaoshu got the letter, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, I opened it and saw that the letter said that the Rong family had a sudden incident, and the cloth in the Rong family cloth village was found to contain toxic substances in the dye, and all the cloth villages were seized.
Something happened to the Rong family!
With the protection of the county magistrate, how could the Rong family be seized and such a big thing happened?
Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he immediately hurriedly instructed Nian Wudao, "Hurry, hurry, prepare pen and ink, don't let the people at the post station go, I want to reply immediately to ask what is going on." ”
As soon as Nian Wu saw that the matter was urgent, he immediately did not dare to delay, and turned around to prepare.
But he was immediately stopped by Zhong Xiaoshu, "No, it will take ten days and half a month for a letter to be written, and even if it is urgent, it will take four or five days, and when I figure out the reason again and again, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold!" ”
"That lady...... Do I have to keep the people at the inn? ”
Zhong Xiaoshu's mind was full of worry and anxiety, knowing that it must be too late to write the letter, so he immediately said to Nianwu, "Don't stay, you go to Zhige and tell him to go home as soon as possible after going down today, I have important things to discuss with him." ”
Nian Wu nodded, "Yes, ma'am." ”
Fortunately, it was close to dusk at this time, and Yin Zhige hurried back without waiting long.
"Xiao Shu, Nianwu said that you received an urgent letter today?" Yin Zhige is also very worried about the situation at home, his eldest brother and weak mother are what he has always remembered.
Zhong Xiaoshu hurriedly explained, "The family is fine, no one is in trouble, this time it was the Rong family who had an accident, so it was Zhiyuan Xiushu, and the late mother was directly sick and lay on the bed, I don't know what the situation is." ”
Yin Zhige nodded, relieved her, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what Mrs. Rong says, she is also the concubine of the county master, and it will be fine." It's just that the Rong family cloth village was suddenly seized, this matter is indeed a bit strange, Rong Jiancheng is only afraid of being imprisoned in prison at the moment, so the Rong family is like a frightened bird, and he seems at a loss. ”
Now the difficulty of the problem is here, the only pillar of the Rong family has been arrested, the family industry has been targeted, Rong Wanxia is still sick, and the rest of the people can't be counted on at all, as if it is about to become a dead end.
Yin Zhige saw that Zhong Xiaoshu's brows were twisted, and the whole person was so worried about his friend that he was restless, but at the same time, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously he already had an idea in his heart.
With a slight sigh, Yin Zhige gently pulled her over and asked, "In that case, Xiao Shu, what are you going to do?" ”
