Text Chapter 83: Farce
After being reminded by Du Xiangyu, Yi'er quietly observed Chunyun in the following days, only this girl does things safely, has her own opinions, and does everything herself, rarely because of trivial matters when she instructs other maids, not only do the errands well, but also get along well with other maids in the yard, only one point, this person can't rub the sand in his eyes, if she encounters those who are lazy and slippery, and don't do a good job, she will reprimand them with a strong voice.
It's strange to say, Chunyun hasn't been here for a long time, but there are many people who have been reprimanded by her for doing something wrong, but she is so fierce, the girls below not only did not resent her, but were extremely convinced by her, except for a few big girls around Yi'er, for a while, the girls below looked like they had her as their backbone.
And Yi'er instructed Dong Qing and Zhuang Xiu to investigate the matter of Chunyun's younger brother, and they soon got a response.
Chunyun's younger brother is named Xiangdong, and he did go to Quzhou Mansion with a cousin in the early years, but Dong Qing went to Quzhou Mansion but didn't find anyone at all. Of course, these are not the key, the key is that this grain and oil shop is the dowry industry of the fourth lady Wei!
Hearing the news, Yi'er gasped in her heart, and her heart was decided, so she privately instructed Yingu to pay more attention to Chunyun's movements on weekdays, and she was silent on the surface, and even showed her love for Chunyun intentionally or unintentionally on many occasions.
It's almost the end of the month in a blink of an eye, Chunyun has been conscientious and has no changes, and Yi'er is not surprised by this, if this person is really arranged by the fourth lady Wei to come to her, then of course this person should make a difference at the most critical and important time.
Yi'er's Qiuxia Pavilion is calm, but there is a farce in the Hou Mansion.
Du Peng, the eldest son of the second room, was carried back in the evening, but it was this person who broke his legs when he was fighting with someone in the brothel for the Oiran, and after the doctor healed, he just shook his head, saying that the injury was too serious, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to stand up again.
The second lady Wan Shi was crying loudly, and pulled the second old man Du Ziming to go and seek justice for Du Peng.
The one who beat people was Yao Kang, the son of Yao Huairen, the envoy of the General Administration, Du Ziming was afraid of Yao Huairen's high position, and he was troubled by the Wan family's quarrel, and finally had no choice but to go to Yao's mansion accompanied by the third master Du Zifei.
As a result, after the ins and outs of the matter were clarified, Du Ziming and Du Zifei, who originally came to ask for the crime, were suddenly ashamed, and after bowing and confessing, they fled back to the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion in a gloomy manner.
But it turned out that it was true to compete for the Oiran, but Yao Gongzi had the highest bid, it was Du Peng's unwillingness, he didn't say anything disrespectful, and he didn't agree with a word, and took the lead with the hand of the little guy, but where did he think that Yao Gongzi was beside him and Chang Hao, the prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, who was this Chang Hao, who was the eldest son of Chang Yuanzhong, the commander of the Northern Desert Zhihan Kingdom, Chang Yuanzhong, who was personally named hereditary Zhenbei Marquis by Emperor Qiming because of his great military exploits in the Northern Desert War. This Chang Hao grew up in the army at a young age, was born in the army, and was extremely skilled in knives, guns and sticks, where can the few little guys around Du Peng be compared? Therefore, this person didn't fight, but Du Peng was beaten up by others. Speaking of which, Chang Hao still scruples that this is the capital of Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he kept his hand on his hand, otherwise, I am afraid that Du Peng would not simply break his legs.
Du Ziming dared to go to Yao Mansion to ask for an explanation, but even if he was given ten more guts, he didn't dare to go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to make trouble, and this matter was still Du Peng's wrong, except for thinking that he was unlucky and calming things, where else could he think of?
Originally, this matter was over, but after returning home, another secret was revealed from Du Peng's mouth, which immediately made Du Ziming angry.
It turned out that Du Peng was not alone in going to the brothel to drink flower wine, and with him, there was even Du Ziping, the fifth master of the Hou Mansion, which is fine, the key is that it is also this fifth master who competes with Yao Kang for the Oiran, Du Peng is completely for his fifth uncle, so he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face and broken legs.
This is a scandalous joke, the uncle and nephew actually recruited prostitutes to drink flower wine in the same house, and spread it out, wouldn't it make the face of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion lose its face? What made Du Ziming even more angry was that Du Peng was clearly doing something for him, but in the end, Du Peng's leg was broken, and Du Ziping hid behind the crack in the door, not to mention stepping forward to help, he didn't even dare to let out a fart!
Where is the second lady Wan Shi willing to follow now, and pull Du Ziming to go to the five-room Linglong Courtyard to ask for an explanation, and this fifth old man Du Ziping is really a strange thing, and he actually let his subordinates close the courtyard door, hiding in it and not daring to show up at all.
The fifth lady, He, is almost six months pregnant, where can she withstand these things? The old lady Lin hurriedly rushed over, so that she could persuade the second old man Du Ziming and the second lady Wan to go back. The old lady and the second old man and his wife closed the room and didn't know what to say, when they came out, the second old man Du Ziming's face was a little trance, and although the second lady Wan was still wiping her eyes and weeping, but in that eye, unconsciously, a touch of joy flashed.
In the end, the fifth old man Du Ziping was punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a month, and the matter came to an end.
On the side of the long house, Du Ziwu went to the household department early to be on duty, probably the first time to take over the errand of the household department, Du Ziwu did not do it well, when he returned home, Li and Yi'er saw the clues from the looks on his face, but the two of them couldn't interfere in these things, and they could only do it in a hurry.
On April 29, Xiaomanri, Yi'er went to the temple outside the city with the Li family to offer incense and pray for Du Ziwu's affairs, but what he didn't expect was that at noon that day, Du Ziwu returned to the house early, and with him was a noble person who surprised the entire Qingxiang Marquis Mansion.
His Royal Highness King Xiang, the dignified fifth prince, actually condescended to follow Du Zi to the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion, and the news spread throughout the Marquis Mansion in an instant like a gust of wind.
Yang Mo first drank a cup of tea with Du Ziwu in the outer courtyard, and then proposed to go into the inner courtyard to ask the old lady for a peace, Du Ziwu was flattered, and hurriedly passed the word in, and immediately led Yang Mo to Zirui Courtyard.
After talking a few words with the old lady Lin in Zirui Courtyard, Yang Mian looked around, but saw that there were several Houfu ladies around the old lady, but there was no Yi'er alone, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and on the way out of the old lady, he couldn't help asking: "I heard that Lord Du has a son and a daughter under his knees, both of whom are rare and smart, why haven't you seen them today?" ”
Du Ziwu felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know why Yang Mo asked about this, so he had to say: "It's also unfortunate, it just so happened that Humble Jing led the two of them out of the city to incense today." ”
Yang Mo sighed in his heart, and for a while, he only felt interested, and he had no interest in speaking, so he directly resigned from Du Ziwu and left the house.
After Yi'er and the others returned to the house in the evening, she was a little trance when she heard the maids talk about it, but when she saw Du Ziwu later, she saw that he was in high spirits and swept away the gloom and decadence of the previous period, so she asked a few words casually. But it turned out that Du Ziwu had made some mistakes in political affairs before, and when he was in a hurry and was unable to cope, His Royal Highness King Xiang helped him sort out the clues, and also found out the person behind the fraud, and couldn't help but let him easily solve the mistakes left before. No one was embarrassed on errands, Du Ziwu quickly straightened out the errands in his hands, and he got along well with his colleagues in the household department.
Between the words, Du Ziwu praised Yang Mo very much, and added a sentence at the end: "I think among the princes, only His Royal Highness King Xiang is truly benevolent and cares about the common people!" ”
Yi'er was thinking, did Yang Mo know that he was Du Feikite now, and did he have anything to do with him when he came to the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion?
After thinking about it for a while, she shook her head again, feeling that although this person was a prince and not an immortal, how could he know these things? It's just a coincidence.
On the second day, there was news in the court, saying that His Royal Highness King Xiang had traveled thousands of miles from Yanxi City to find the Longxi Divine Doctor Duan to treat the Queen Mother, and now the condition has stabilized, Emperor Qiming is overjoyed, and His Royal Highness King Xiang is not mentioned.
But said that Li heard the news, to a little happy, because the May Fifth Dragon Boat Festival is the second birthday of little Du Yu, before the Queen Mother was seriously ill, she couldn't handle it, so she was a little disappointed in her heart, but now the Queen Mother has seen improvement, I can't say that the Queen Mother will be good by then, and Xiao Du Yu's birthday ceremony can still be handled, which is also a good thing.
