Text Chapter 88: The Overturned Shrine
Yi'er was on the way to Mingfeng Tower with the Li family, and basically figured out what was going on!
Originally, Du Ziqian took the people of Han Zongren and Yin Qiaochuan of Jingzhao Mansion to watch the scenery in the Ming Feng Building, but the scene was not watched, so coincidentally, he watched the shrine upstairs being knocked to the ground, not to mention the Changming lamp originally offered above, and even the lamp oil in the bowl flowed all over the ground.
A few days ago, the lantern was blown out by the wind, and under the shaking of the whole house, many people were disposed of, Du Ziqian just never dreamed that it had only been two or three days, and this time even the shrine was lifted.
You said that if this matter is closed in the house, at best it will be a family matter in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and it will be enough to self-examine and introspect, but this time Du Ziqian is accompanied by two outsiders, and he is still a powerful official in the court! You said that it was an ordinary official who came with it, but there is also a lord in the imperial history who is known for his uprightness and outspokenness, what kind of lord is this, this is an old stubborn who has made a mistake, and even His Majesty the Emperor dares to speak out about his mistakes in the court!
The emperor asked the Xungui Mansion to pray for the Queen Mother's lantern, and the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion smashed the idea, and actually overturned the lantern shrine and fell to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he directly let Han Zongren catch it.
Han Zongren's face immediately changed, and he was about to leave the mansion with his sleeves brushed up, Du Ziren knew in his heart that if Han Zongren was allowed to leave like this, he was afraid that tomorrow's court meeting, the emperor's thunderous anger would fall directly to the Hou Mansion, and he dragged it hard, so that he could say it, even Yin Qiaochuan of Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward to persuade him again and again, and Han Zongren sat aside with a black face, waiting for Du Ziyan's handling of this matter.
Han Zongren is the most rigid and old-fashioned, his temper stinks like a stone in the dung pit, he has always believed in the dogma that the imperial historian should leave history in the name of death, and he has never bought anyone's account, as long as he finds out the mistakes, it must be directly involved in the end, and the officials in the DPRK and China are afraid of it, and he never gets close to people on weekdays, and he either goes to the court or returns to the house every day, and there is no normal entertainment and the like, he is almost to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he has never married a wife and had children, in his words, He did all the things that offended people and were not pleasing to him, and it was inevitable that the powerful would retaliate against him, so that he would not be distracted by the fact that he had already vowed not to marry for life.
Such a person, where does Du Ziqian have any friendship with him on weekdays? If it weren't for the urgent rain today, he would have kindly invited him into the house to take shelter from the rain, where would there be this uncontrollable situation now?
Du Ziqian was remorseful, but even if he regretted his intestines, what could he do? The matter of this ever-bright lantern is about to make a big fuss, but the news can't be covered, and it soon spread to the old lady Lin, so Lin personally went to Mingfeng Tower, and asked people to invite the ladies and ladies of each room to come over, looking at this situation, but they wanted to personally inquire about this matter.
When Yi'er followed the Li family to Mingfeng Tower, the masters of each room, except for the eldest master, the second master, the third master, and the young master who went out in each room and did not return, only the fifth room did not show up because the fifth lady He was pregnant, but the others all arrived, and even the two aunts in the second room, who had never shown up, were waiting outside the house, and their faces were a little uneasy.
Because the stakes were so important and it involved the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Qiao Chuan originally wanted to avoid suspicion and go to wait outside Mingfeng Tower, but Han Zongren made it clear that he wanted to see how Du Ziqian was the Marquis of Qingxiang and how to deal with this matter, so he had no intention of avoiding it when he sat in place, and Qiao Chuan had no choice but to sit in place with him.
Du Ziqian knew in his heart that this matter had been known to Han Zongren, and with his temperament, he was afraid that it would be inevitable to listen to it on a piece of paper, and for the sake of today, he could only deal with this matter seriously, so that Han Zongren could see that the Hou Mansion attached great importance to this matter, indicating that this matter was just caused by the laziness and negligence of the subordinates, and it was definitely not that the Hou Mansion was disrespectful to the emperor and the Queen Mother. It was because Han Zongren wanted to sit aside and listen to the trial, and he couldn't ask for it.
The lord of the fifth room was only Du Ziqian present, and he was the serious marquis of the Qingxiang Hou Mansion, although the old lady was also sitting on one side, Du Ziqian should naturally be in charge of the trial.
First of all, the little girl who is responsible for taking care of the ever-bright lamp, according to her, she just went out to pay tribute, before and after only half a quarter of an hour, when she came back, she saw the shrine that was overturned, at that time this little girl was also frightened, under the six gods without a master, she had to go to the fourth lady in a panic, who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence, at this time, I met Du Ziqian led Han Zongren Qiao Chuan two adults to Mingfeng Tower.
This little girl was not effective in taking care of the lantern, and Du Ziqian immediately asked the little girl to pull out the little girl first and scold her for fifty to set an example.
It quickly became clear who had brought down the shrine. It's just that this result somewhat caught Du Ziqian off guard.
A maid replied that before the incident, she had seen the fifth young master Du Ke enter the Mingfeng Building, and ran out in a panic after waiting for the tea. When the five-year-old Du Ke was brought up, the little guy obviously felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and in the face of Du Ziqi's fierce questioning, Du Ke pursed his mouth and wanted to cry, but Du Ziqian shouted loudly, and he was scared back by the cry.
Things quickly figured out, the shrine was really Du Ke knocked down, he entered the Mingfeng Building to find the Shih Tzu he raised, the house was not found, and heard a sound under the offering table, so he went under the table to find it, but when he got up, he overturned the altar of the offering table, for this reason, he is now hit on the head of a big bag!
Du Ziyan was furious, he never thought that in the end, it was his favorite youngest son who caused such a catastrophe.
Du Ke is only five years old, he is a child, and he has nothing to do, overturning the shrine that lights the ever-bright lamp for the Queen Mother, which is said to be a child's naughty and ignorant unintentional fault, but when it is bigger, this matter is bigger. The key is that there is also a person sitting next to him who is a man in the imperial history who is straightforward and admonishes and pickets hundreds of officials.
"Son!" Du Ziyan commanded loudly, "Someone come, tie up this son of evil for me, and send it to Jingzhao Mansion for investigation." ”
Qiao Chuan had a headache, as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, he really wanted Du Ziqian to send Du Ke to Jingzhao Mansion, how did he deal with this matter? But Han Zongren sat on the side without saying a word, if he found a personal affair and didn't go through this normal procedure, he was afraid that this little old man would dare to play a piece of paper tomorrow and even give him a piece of ginseng, and he was in a dilemma at the moment, and couldn't help but look towards Han Zongren.
But he said that when he heard that Du Ziqian was going to tie up Du Ke and send him to Jingzhao Mansion, the fourth lady Wei was shocked, and rushed forward to protect Du Ke in her arms, crying: "Master Hou, Ke'er is only five years old, where do you know anything?" If the Hou Ye really wants to be punished, he will punish the concubine, it is the concubine's fault that he did not teach him well and did not pay close attention to him. ”
The rest of the people also stepped forward to persuade, Du Ziqian saw that Han Zongren was expressionless and did not make a statement, where did he dare to let go at the moment, he was ruthless, and shouted: "Come on, pull Mrs. away, this son of evil has broken into such a catastrophe, how can I tolerate him, how dare I tolerate him?" ”
The old lady, who had been sitting on the top seat, slapped the table hard at this time, and said loudly: "Okay, don't make any noise." ”
Although the old lady has not been in charge for a long time, but the majesty still exists, this sound of drinking, immediately quieted all kinds of voices in the room, Lin stood up tremblingly, Shan Mama hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but she stretched out her hand to push away, she stood up, first glanced at Han Zongren on the side, and slowly stepped forward to pull Du Ke up from the ground, and then said: "It's just a child, an unintentional mistake made by being naughty and mischievous, what do you want to do?" Righteous annihilation? I tell you, my grandson, you don't want it, I'll hurt him, whoever dares to tie him up today, I will tie up the old woman and me first! ”
Du Ziqian hung his head, didn't dare to argue, and only said softly: "But, mother ......"
Lin snorted and said, "Don't say it, I know what you're thinking." Turned over the shrine and extinguished the everlasting lamp that prayed for the queen mother, this is the mistake of our Hou Mansion, the emperor wants to punish and punish, we dare not beak. But you are the dignified Marquis of Qingxiang, you are the one who is a father, what is the matter, it should naturally be you, it should be our entire Qingxiang Marquis Mansion to bear, where is there a reason to push a five-year-old child out to suffer in order to seek peace overnight? ”
Du Ziqian lowered his head and didn't dare to say any more.
The fourth lady Wei Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the old lady come forward, and suddenly remembered something, grabbed Du Ke's hand and asked, "Ke'er, didn't your Shih Tzu dog leave a few days ago?" How did you come to Mingfeng Tower to find it? ”
Du Ke was frightened, his eyes were a little red, and he reached out and rubbed his eyes before whispering: "It was a sister in a black dress who told me that my Xiaobai is in Mingfeng Building." ”
A young man who was originally waiting by Du Ke's side hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "That sister slave recognizes it, it's Sister Peilan of Qiuxia Pavilion." ”
