Chapter 332: Still Young
At the same time, Xia Li was sitting in Fushoutang, and she was picked up by the Lord of He'an County in person to Jingzhao Mansion. Xia Li told Old Lady Ye, Old Lady, and He An about his true identity, and knelt down to ask for guilt.
After listening to her words, several elders expressed their understanding.
This matter made a lot of trouble, and in less than an hour, Xia Li was not a village girl in the countryside, but Qiu Jili, the prince of the Hou Mansion in the east, and the daughter of Yang An'an, the original partner, spread throughout the Jin State Mansion.
After the early dynasty dispersed, several ugly things of the Qi family spread all over the capital at the fastest speed, becoming people's jokes after tea and dinner.
After Su Hu returned to Jingzhao Mansion, he announced Xia Xing and sent two teams of officials out of Beijing. A team rushed to Xiangshan Fucheng to find Xia Li's adoptive mother Xia Ju to verify the situation, and a team rushed to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to find Xia Xing's grandmother, that is, Yang Gui's widow.
In the evening, Ye Guogong, Ye Feng, and the second master returned to the house one after another, and they all went directly to Fushoutang.
There were only a few people in Fushoutang, including Lao Guogong and his wife, He An, and Xia Li, and no one else was allowed to come here for dinner.
The old lady asked, "How is it, does the emperor believe you?" ”
Ye Guogong said with a smile, "These things are very coincidental, but there is a highly respected monk Master Yuhui in the middle, we can't make up the hexagrams he calculates for Feng'er, and the emperor has no reason not to believe it." His face sank a little again, "It's just that as soon as the emperor said a few words to us, the people from Cining Palace came to report that the Queen Mother had a sudden heart attack, and the emperor hurried to Cining Palace." ”
The old lady snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother is going to put pressure on the emperor and help those two women speak." ”
"This is also expected by us." The queen mother is alive, and the emperor has to look at her love and open up the Qi family. He said to Xia Li again, "Daughter-in-law Feng, there are some things that can only be one step late." ”
Xia Li had already guessed that this would be the result. Yang An'an has been dead for so long, the people who should be cleaned up have been cleaned up, and there is a Empress Dowager Qi obstructing it, it must not be easy to find out the truth.
The reason why her pleadings only wrote "The biological mother Yang died strangely and wanted to find out the cause of death" was because she knew that it would not be so easy to find out the truth. If she directly wrote "her biological mother Yang was killed", and she couldn't sit on the truth, she would be passive, and she would be deducted from the hat of wronged elders and unfilial piety. If that's the case, it will be easy for the Queen Mother to take care of her.
And the reason why he went to Jingzhao Mansion to complain so much not only made this matter bigger, but also spread the ugly things of the Qiu family. The reputation of the big and small Qi family is stinky, and the Queen Mother and the Qi family are also passive, and Xia Li can't be blamed. Qiu Ze conspired with the Qi family to conspire with the son of the concubine, not because Xia Li originally wanted to say it, but in order to prove his identity, Su Hu also said it in public. The rest of the whole paper did not say a word of disobedience to Qiu Ze and Qiu Jili, and it cannot be said that she was unfilial. As for the matter of suing the Qi family, they are not blood relatives with her, and there is a real hammer to prove that they are not virtuous, let alone blame her......
Xia Li got up and bowed to several elders who still curts, and said, "The juniors are not filial and make trouble for the family." ”
Ye Guogong waved his hand and said, "It's no wonder you." At this point, no matter whether you make trouble or not, we will be hostile to the Empress Dowager Qi and the Qi family. ”
Back in the courtyard, Xia Li laughed out loud when he heard Ye Feng talk about the Su Hu being "forced" to tell the ugly things about the Qi family in the Golden Palace.
In the east, the lights in the Hou Mansion were like daylight, and the people were busy tidying up the yard and tidying up their things, and some people were still building walls with wood and bricks.
In the next morning, as soon as Qiu Jili and Qiu Ze returned to Qiu's mansion, the chamberlain sent by Empress Zhang came. The chamberlain passed on the queen's mother's message, reprimanding the big and small Qi clans for being unfilial, disrespectful, and unvirtuous, thinking about it behind closed doors for three months, and not allowing it to be done again, and so on. They also gave each a copy of "Women's Ring" and a bronze mirror.
Qi was ashamed, feeling that this life was over, as if he had been evacuated, he couldn't even stand up, and was helped back to his yard by his subordinates. Xiao Qi cried and wanted to pull Qiu Jili to explain, Qiu Jili took a step back with a heavy face, and asked people to help her back by force.
Qiu Ze also wanted to go back to the main courtyard to find a way for the Qi family, and asked the Queen Mother to help him say that he would reinstate the official, but was stopped by Qiu Jili.
Qiu Jili said, "Father, there are some things to go to my grandmother to explain clearly, and discuss what to do next. ”
In Sanssouci Hall, the old lady was half-leaning on the bed of Luohan, and when the eldest grandson returned, her spirit was obviously much better, and she was once again alive from the brink of death.
The old lady was young and widowed, and she was very smart. Why is her son not angry, she is bent on finding a capable daughter-in-law to control her son. Unexpectedly, his son insisted on agreeing to the emperor to marry Qi home, Qi was a joke, the old lady was angry, and there was no hope, so she had to hide in the Buddhist hall.
Later, the eldest grandson became more and more promising, and she felt that the Qiu family might still have hope, and her mood was much better. The second grandson is also a good boy and has the ability to enter the office, but in order to better serve the eldest grandson, he only donated an idle official and privately worked for the eldest grandson and the eldest prince.
After knowing that her own granddaughters and grandchildren were still alive, and the eldest prince was lifted again, the old lady was in a better mood. She felt that the two grandsons would one day wash away the shame of their Lao Tzu marrying the Qi family, so she cheered up her spirits and came out to plan for her children and grandchildren.
Qiu Jili told what happened in the Golden Palace.
The old lady was panting with anger, and Qiu Jihong was busy wiping her chest.
The old lady pointed at Qiu Ze and scolded, "Useless things, I have been twisted by that woman for a lifetime." This ugly thing was actually taken to the Golden Palace to say, and our Qiu family's face was lost. The Qi family has a loss in virtue, and has no ability to give birth to a son and a half daughter for our Qiu family. ”
Qiu Ze knelt down, "Mother, the Qi family was married by the first emperor, and the son can't be divorced." ”
As soon as the old lady heard him say that he was the emperor, her heart was full of reaction, and it was difficult to say it clearly. took a sip and shouted, "Then send it to Zhuangzi, and we can't let that woman be embarrassed everywhere as the housewife of our Qiu family." ”
Qiu Ze's head shook like a wave drum and said, "Mother, no, no, no." If the Qi family is sent to Zhuangzi, the Queen Mother will not spare our family. Mother, my son is still young, and he wants to be an official for a few more years, and the family's income will be more. In a few days, let the Qi family go to the palace to meet the queen mother, and then help her son plead for mercy. ”
The old lady knew that this son was unproductive, and she had long lost hope in him, and she also knew that it was impossible for Hugh Qi. But after hearing these words, he was still very angry, picked up a tea bowl on the table and threw it at Qiu Ze, smashed it on his shoulder, and poured water and tea leaves.
scolded, "It's all sixty people, still young? It's just that you're thick-skinned, you can tell. So many princes younger than you have passed on their titles to their sons and lived a free life by themselves. I favor you, I hold on to my title, and I still want to be an official ......"
