0012: Mother under house arrest
My mother and aunt were slapped to the ground by my grandfather, covering their faces with their hands, and tears of pain fell at once.
The smile on the uncle's face instantly stiffened, and he didn't know what to blame the grandfather: "Father, what are you doing here?" Xi'er and her sister are all for the sake of peace and well, whose girl has not married and had children when she reaches the age of Jasper? You don't go out every day, because you don't know that people in Jingshi are laughing at my Xu family. ”
The grandfather was so angry that he trembled, and after beating his mother and aunt's hands, he slapped his uncle with his backhand, and scolded: "The benevolence of the woman, the frog at the bottom of the well, you want to die, I won't stop you, you want the emperor's eldest grandson to die, I don't agree." ”
"How can I be a woman?" The mother fell to the ground and covered her face, and asked her grandfather with arrogance: "I am all for the good of the emperor's eldest grandson, father, you are the founding father, and you only have an idle position, and above the court, the sacred heart is changing rapidly, and you don't know anything at home." ”
"The emperor's eldest grandson has no father, that is, he has no strongest backing, I am his mother, you are a grandfather, don't worry about him, I have to worry about him, I can't let others move his place."
Mother paused as she spoke, her eyes were full of accusations against her ancestors, and her radical eyes were red, "My brother can be better, but you only let him be a small official in the Ministry of Officials, and none of our relatives are officials in Kyoto, you say, I am looking for a good family for An An to help the emperor's eldest grandson, what's wrong?" ”
Grandfather pointed to his mother's hand, trembling, and the corners of his lips trembled uncontrollably: "A good family business? A small household official, he is also worthy of the emperor's canonization of Xuan and the princess? ”
"Father!" The aunt covered her face, knelt on the ground, and straightened her waist: "If you talk like this, your daughter-in-law will not be happy, and your daughter-in-law's family is ......."
"Your Majesty's groom?" The grandfather interrupted his aunt's words, and his trembling voice became compelling: "Your father is just His Majesty's groom, what's wrong?" Is there real power? Can you speak in front of Your Majesty? Or is it that if you drive your father's horse to the court, kill the meat for the Manchu civil and military to eat, and support the Manchu civil and military food, you can solve everything? ”
My aunt's father was also an old man who followed the emperor's grandfather to fight the country.
Horses are first-class, but illiterate.
Now in the Taifu Temple, in charge of the emperor's horses and horses, from the three products, subordinate to the Ministry of War, in Tuzhong set up the Taifu Temple as an errand.
Tuzhong is 300 miles away from Fengtianjing, except for raising horses, when the Son of Heaven inspects, he gives the Son of Heaven a horse, and has no real power.
My aunt's face was swollen and red, and the corners of her mouth moved, unable to refute her grandfather's merciless point.
I brushed the tea foam in the tea cup with the tea lid, and slowly spoke: "Ancestor, this tea tastes mellow, but the year before last, the imperial grandmother rewarded you?" ”
My grandfather pointed to his aunt and mother's fingers slightly, and his old face pulled out a smile at me, no longer calling me An'an, but respectfully calling me: "The princess has a good taste, and the tea that the queen asked the princess to bring over this year, the old minister hid it and waited for the next year." ”
Even if the imperial grandfather and grandmother did not summon him for many years, he would send him tea through the imperial grandmother, knowing that in the heart of the imperial grandfather, the brave retreat of his torrent was with old feelings and appreciation.
I smiled and wanted to speak, but my mother preempted my words and said extremely disrespectfully: "Father, you are the one who fought with the emperor, you should have been crowned a marquis and worshiped the prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, and the queen mother will send you away with a few taels of broken tea, that is, you can swallow this breath, and the daughter is not convinced, An An must marry and pave the way for the emperor's eldest grandson." ”
The anger of the grandfather was ignited by his mother again, and he hated iron and said: "Paving the way for the emperor's eldest grandson? You paved a bloody road full of knives, and if you don't kill the emperor's eldest grandson, you won't be able to live as a mother, right? ”
"He's my son, how can I let him die?" The mother tried her best to stand on her own and said her firmness: "My son is the crown prince, and he will be a man who supports the world in the future, so rich, how can I let him die?" Father, are you old and confused? ”
My grandfather's face turned blue, I put down the teacup, stood up, and came to my grandfather's side.
He followed me step by step, staring at my mother with angry eyes.
I stretched out my hand to hold my grandfather's arm, ignored my mother, and gave my grandfather the right to choose, and said: "When my mother asked the imperial grandmother for An An today, she said that An An didn't understand the rules of the palace, and the imperial grandmother was slightly angry and said that An An couldn't carry it clearly, let me think about it, whether she set up this rule for An An again, or I set it myself." ”
My grandfather's old hand instantly covered my hand, and my palms were cold and trembling, "What did the queen mother say herself?" ”
"An An didn't dare to fake in front of his grandfather!" I looked directly at him with a shrewd and somewhat cloudy look, "Grandfather should know that An An should be praying at Dabao'en Temple at this time, and now that he is here, isn't it enough to explain anything?" ”
My grandfather's eyes widened suddenly, the hand covering the back of my hand suddenly clenched, and his lips trembled for a long time: "An An, do what you want in your heart, don't worry about grandfather!" ”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, curtsy my knees, and withdrew my hand: "Thank you grandfather for your understanding, I'm not welcome." ”
Grandfather closed his eyes slightly, took a step back, and sat down in his chair very slowly.
I twisted and put my hand on the shoulder, his whole body tensed, his body stiffened, as if everyone in this room had taken it as an enemy, an enemy who hurt me.
I looked at my mother who was lying on the ground, full of luxury, with a delicate head on her head, looking directly at my grandfather, and said to Hua Qian: "Invite the imperial concubine to the courtyard where she has not left the pavilion." ”
Hua Qian and Dong Chu Xia Shuang surrounded their mother together, and their mother was stunned and shouted: "Xiao Xing, what are you going to do, I am your mother, you dare to be unfaithful and unfilial?" ”
I was silent, and Hua Qian and Dong Chu Xia Frost lifted my mother up strongly.
When my uncle saw that he was busy trying to stop it, I swept my cold eyes: "Uncle, you are a small official, where did you get so many silver taels to send things into the palace?" The clothes that my mother is wearing, let alone a thousand taels of silver, go back and talk to this palace. ”
The nail under my uncle's feet could no longer be moved, because of my words, he looked at his grandfather cautiously.
His grandfather's eyes glared at him, and he shrank like a quail, not daring to move.
My mother went into the cold room and pointed at me: "You dare to go beyond the queen's rules and put me under house arrest, who gave you the guts?" ”
Her hand was on the bridge of my nose, and Yan Zhi, who was standing beside me, stretched out his fingernailless hand and scratched it vigorously.
The back of my mother's hand was scratched with blood marks, she was annoyed and angry, and scolded me: "Xiao Xing, you brute, unfaithful and unrighteous brute, I am your mother, how dare you let others hurt me?" ”
