Chapter 474: Gratitude
Ling Xiao's suggestion is good, when Master Gu comes, he will definitely drink. When people are drunk, they will talk more, and he thinks that Qiao's absence must be less guarded against Qiao's in a moment, and he may be able to hear useful information.
Qiao Shi cried and sobbed, and said: "Bacheng is to introduce the son of the fox to others, and ask them to mention the evil seed, what else can it do?" Blame me for not being able to give birth to a son! It's not that I was too tired back then, and my body accumulated cold, so I couldn't do it. ”
Although he said this, Qiao Shi didn't mention the matter of leaving, and looked at it in the afternoon, so he went to the back with Yan Qingge and them to hide first, as for the two maids she brought, they tied them up without saying a word, gagged them and threw them into the firewood room.
When Qiao Shi left the box, he held back his tears and stopped crying.
She was born poor, has a tough personality, rarely shows weakness in front of others, and later followed her husband to enjoy glory and wealth, let alone say the same, occasionally gaffes in front of Yan Qingge, which is normal, but if she keeps crying, she will spit on herself.
Taking advantage of the effort of going out to get snacks for Qiao's family, Ling Xiao quietly glanced at Yan Qingge, and Yan Qingge also found a reason to go out after a while.
Ling Xiao was waiting for Yan Qingge in the kitchen, and when he saw her, he whispered, "Why did you invite this god." ”
Yan Qingge smiled slightly: "Gu Youxiang and my uncle have been friends for many years, so in the name of my uncle, I went to Gu's house to have a look, and found that the maid next to Mrs. Gu was wrong, and the tonic soup for her was a little weird." After I came back, I inquired and found out that the right minister always had a concubine with him at home, and Mrs. Gu had no children, and the concubine's mother seemed to be very favored, so she guessed what was going on. ”
"No wonder!" Ling Xiao sighed: "Mrs. Gu is also very bitter in her heart. I just hope that Master Gu is not really the kind of person who would abandon his wife. ”
"No, it won't. Master Gu is not that kind of person. Yan Qingge said discretionally.
She dared to say this because of an incident that had happened before she was reborn.
Counting the time, this happened six or seven years later.
Because there was no disaster of the Northern Barbarians entering Beijing before she was reborn, Gu Pingshan started late, but those who have the ability will never be buried all the time, and six or seven years later, he also sat in the position of the right minister.
But just when he was proud, in addition to a tragic incident in his back house, his old wife hacked to death the concubine and the concubine's son in a fit of rage because she found out that the concubine in the family had poisoned her.
Gu Pingshan's heirs are thin, there are only two daughters and one son in the family, and once this son is gone, it can be regarded as a broken queen. And when this kind of scandal happened in the family, he was immediately involved in several books by the official, and Gu Pingshan took the initiative to resign.
But what impressed Yan Qingge the most was that he took the initiative to take the blame, saying that his wife had never taken care of family affairs, and she was also a victim, and if he wanted to be punished, he would be punished.
At that time, this incident shook the government and the opposition, and the concubine was originally a slave and maid, and it was not for others to look at, so she was cut and cut.
The emperor personally issued an order to exempt Gu Pingshan from the crime of giving birth to his wife, and personally summoned the imperial doctor to treat Gu Pingshan's wife, and finally made her pregnant with a child at the age of sixty, which can be described as a miracle.
Ling Xiao saw that she was full of confidence, but she didn't say anything frustrating, took some of the delicious snacks made in the kitchen, and took them out.
In the middle, Yan Qingge also went back to the newly opened Yan Ji embroidery workshop on Fuxiang Street through the secret passage, and showed her face in front of people, making people believe that she was just resting in her own house, and when night came, she returned to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
As soon as Qiao Shi saw her enter the house, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister of the Yan family, they have already come, they are the son of the old immortal and the fox of my family." ”
Yan Qingge couldn't wait anymore when he saw Qiao's so much, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, let's listen to what they say." ”
Qiao Shi nodded, and walked out, but was stopped by Yan Qingge.
I saw Yan Qingge walk to the bed, take down the painting on the wall with a picture of a snow boating, gently rotate the huge tiger head copper ring used as a nail on the top a few times, and then pull it out, and a small hole appeared in the wall.
A burst of clear words came to the ears.
"Lord Lu! That's a mistake! Gu Pingshan's familiar words came, making Qiao's hairs stand on end.
"Oh, what do you think, Lord Gu?" Another male voice came, but it was unfamiliar to Qiao.
Qiao Shi just wanted to ask, but Yan Qingge gently covered her lips, and she knew that now that this passage was open, not only could she hear what was talking here, but she could also hear what was talking here.
The three women sat in the dark, listening quietly to the sound coming from the brass pipe.
A crisp male voice answered, "Dad, let me talk to Uncle Lu." ”
Looking at Qiao's instantly hideous face, Yan Qingge realized that this young man should be Gu Pingshan's concubine.
Gu Pingshan said with a smile: "Does Yan'er know what it means to be a father? ”
"Know! Dad often said that the ban on opening the sea is beneficial and harmful, don't worry that those foreign imported goods will defraud the people of Dazhou out of their money and make our country's national strength empty. We can also sell things to them in Da Zhou. Although I don't produce gold, silver and gemstones, we have craftsmen who can't be compared anywhere else, so we can buy raw materials and sell them at a high price as exquisite items! Just like there are many iron ores on the barbarian grassland, but they don't know how to smelt at all, they still have to buy a pot at a high price with our Great Zhou people, in fact, we Great Zhou people earn a lot. ”
"Master Gu is really a tiger father and no dog." The man surnamed Lu praised.
"He's still young, but he's just picking up people's teeth, and if you ask him his opinion, see if he can say it."
"Master Gu is too modest."
"It's not too modest! Yan'er, for my father to ask you a recent thing, there is a newly opened maritime port in Nanjun, called Shuzhou, the spring sea is windy, there is a family surnamed Zhou, nearly 100 people all ran by sea, were swept up by the wind and waves, and died. The remaining old and young women of their family went to the yamen to beat drums, begged the imperial court to stop shipping, and organized the neighbors to burn the boats, so that more people would not die in Haikou. ”
The young man called Yan'er hesitated for a long time before he said, "This ...... The banquet will be reported to the court as soon as possible, and then wait for the court to settle. After all, so many people died, and the stakes were high. ”
Hearing this, Qiao's face showed a look of pride and contempt. Her husband was right, this concubine was a straw bale at all. This kind of trivial matter has to be reported to the court to deal with, which is really laughable.
Sure enough, Gu Pingshan said to Lord Lu: "Lord Lu should not praise him again in the future." I often take him out to see the world, just because I want him to slowly open up, but now it seems that it doesn't help much. If I had raised him under the knees of my old wife, it would have been better, but at that time, I always thought that my wife and I might be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and I was afraid that the children she brought would be tired and tired, but it was a pity! ”
When Qiao Shi heard this, there was silence on his face, but the hatred in his brows was faintly loosened.
Lord Nalu answered: "Lord Gu, each family has its own difficulties. It is not a bad thing to make Gongzi so innocent. With your shadow left and right, the future will not be too bad. ”
"I can't say that, back then, you and I were born in poverty together, and we once laughed and said that we would see those ministers fall down and collapse thirty years later, but now that it has been more than thirty years, the few families we have decided at that time are not silent. That's still a family of hundreds of years of Zhongding, look at you and me, what is the background? What qualifications do you have to protect him? ”
Na Lu didn't feel good in his heart when he thought about it, and said straightly: "Drink and drink!" ”
Gu Pingshan thought that he had drunk too much, and sighed with a slight drunkenness: "Yan'er, others see that my father is living a bright life now, but in fact, in my father's life, the best time is when I just won the list, and I was awarded a small official in the Hanlin Academy, and I took home my salary for the first time and gave it to your mother-in-law." She took the money and made new clothes for her head after marrying me. Later, your mother married me, and it was also your mother-in-law who was in charge, and she couldn't bear to be an official lady in that kind of place. No matter what happens to me in the future, you must honor your mother-in-law......"
The young man said, "I know Dad, you have said it many times, and you are familiar with the banquet." ”
Looking at Qiao Shi again, he was already crying silently and burst into tears.
It seems that Gu Pingshan really didn't know that she was poisoned, and he still told the wolf's ambitious concubine to be filial to her.
This Gu Pingshan and that Master Qiao should have known each other for many years, talking and talking, bringing out a lot of past events, and always praising Qiao's when he mentioned it, even Yan Qingge, an outsider, could hear his maintenance and love for Qiao's in his words.
Qiao Shi has been moved to cry several times, and once she shed more tears than she has in half her life.
Finally, Gu Pingshan left, and the copper pipe in the house was blocked again, Qiao Shi wiped his tears and said: "This dead ghost, why never tell me in person." ”
"Master Qiao, I'm sorry." Yan Qingge said.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault that I'm too hard, I never understand his difficulties, and I don't have a heart to heart with him!" Qiao Shi said: "I will tell him everything when I go home, and he will definitely punish that little slut and his son." ”
Yan Qingge held Qiao's hand and said, "Sister Qiao, in fact, there is one more thing I haven't told you, your body is conditioned and conditioned, and you may still be able to give birth." ”
"No way! I'm in my early fifties, I've been suffering from cold for so many years, and I'm about to run out of water intermittently, how did I give birth to a child? At my age, it's no longer a matter of forcing children, and if I can stay with that dead ghost for the rest of my life, it's worth it. ”
Yan Qingge knew that Qiao's had created miracles before she was reborn, and now she is so much younger than in her previous life, it shouldn't be difficult to have another one, she thought of a person, and said: "Sister Qiao, I know a miracle doctor, he owes me some favors, you only discipline him to condition your lower body." But because he is the best at climbing the pole, he wants you to help him with his errands, but don't agree. ”
Qiao asked, "Who is it?" ”
"That divine doctor sister should have heard of it, her name is Ouyang Shaoming." Yan Qingge said.
Qiao's face was happy. Although Ouyang Shaoming's character is in disarray, his superb medical skills are also unquestionable.
"My sister is very kind, I can't repay me as a sister! Whenever there is anything you want me to do in the future, my sister just says. Qiao Shi looked at Yan Qingge with gratitude.
