Chapter 17: A Shocking Scandal

Xin Yao saw that Jiang Zichen had a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he looked very cute, so she smiled and beckoned, and said, "It's really sweet-mouthed, tell my aunt quickly, why do you want to stay in Beijing to study?" ”

Jiang Zichen saw that this aunt's face was gentle and amiable, and he was not timid at the moment and said: "Mother said, my uncle's knowledge is the best in our Jiang family, and only by following my uncle to read and write can he be successful in the future." ”

Xin Yao touched her nephew's little head and said with a smile: "What else did your mother say?" ”

Jiang Zichen tilted his head and thought for a moment, and then said crisply: "Mother asked me to listen to my uncle and uncle's words, study hard like the third uncle and the fourth uncle, and practice day and night." Mother also said that my aunt is the smartest girl in our Jiang family, and she has the best heart, so I also want to listen to my aunt! ”

Xin Yao raised her eyebrows, glanced at Gu's family, and praised: "Our little Zichen is really an obedient child. ”

"Sister, I'm also an obedient person, I listen to my sister!" Jiang Yuanhao saw that his sister's attention was all drawn away by Jiang Zichen, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, and raised his head not to be outdone.

Xin Yao gently hugged Brother Hao in her arms and said with a smile: "My Brother Hao is also the most obedient, and he will get along well with Brother Chen in the future, and the two of them will study hard together." Although you are a few years younger than him, you are an elder, and you have to take care of your nephew in everything, you know? ”

Six-year-old Jiang Yuanhao nodded his head like a wave drum, his chest beat loudly, and he said quite righteously: "Sister, don't worry, he calls me the fourth uncle, and I cover him in everything!" ”

Jiang Xinyao couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. A room full of maids secretly turned their backs, covered their mouths and smiled.

Li's mother saw the second wife, and the fourth master came. The grandmother had a smile on her face, and couldn't help but feel gratified, and handed a face to Wutong, who understood, quietly exited the house, and went to the kitchen to explain.

Jiang Zichen blushed, pursed his lips and said, "It's just a generation older than me." I'm not as tall as me, what a brag! ”

Jiang Yuanhao's face sank. put on the posture of being an elder, stretched his neck and said, "Hmph, you are higher than me, and you are still my nephew." I'm still your uncle, and I have to cover you! ”

Jiang Zichen's generation was short-sighted, although there were 100,000 unconvinced in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict the elders, and turned his head angrily, looking unhappy.

Jiang Xinyao had already laughed, leaned on the kang, pointed at the two of them, and shouted, "Mother doesn't care about it quickly!" ”

The Gu family has long been accustomed to the bickering of this uncle and nephew. smiled helplessly: "Just for the sake of a generation, the two children make trouble every day, don't pay attention to them." It didn't take a few minutes to be like a person, and I couldn't separate it. Weiyun, light moon, take these two leather monkeys to play in the garden! ”

As soon as Jiang Zichen heard his uncle's words, he took the initiative to take Jiang Yuanhao's hand and called out respectfully: "Fourth uncle." ”

The fourth uncle of Yuan Hao, who has a very high seniority. Hearing this salutation, he shook the fat on his face proudly. said hello to Xinyao, walked out majestically with two little short legs and a shy belly.

Jiang Xinyao watched two living treasures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, out of the room, rubbing her sour belly, pulling Gu Shi to sit on the kang, and the mother and daughter spoke affectionately!

On this day, Gu didn't return home with his two brothers until sunset.

……

Xin Yao was so troubled by the two children, and listened to some of her mother's comforting words, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years, no matter how you look at it, you can't be a good person, how can it be so easy to have an accident, maybe the person who sent the message was delayed on the road by the heavy snow. Thinking like this, Xin Yao put her mind at ease and lived as usual.

Within a few days, a ship came from the south, loaded with various jade carvings, and was escorted to Beijing by a special person. Ten large jade carvings were placed in Jinjue Pavilion and Yiyuan for a few days, and they were bought one after another.

Xin Yao looked at the account book sent by the money shopkeeper and nodded with satisfaction.

……

In the northwest military tent, there were five or six braziers that were burning brightly. Qingfeng and Yanluo were wearing coarse cloth jackets, sloppy beards, and rough skin. The two licked their chapped lips in unison, staring at the person on the bed left and right, their eyes full of worry.

Yan Sixteen Jing lay on the bed naked, waiting for the needles to be pulled out one by one, Xiao Jingxian behind her was like being fished out of the water, and she collapsed and sat on the ground.

Aomine swiped his hands and picked up King Ping and put him in the steaming wooden barrel. Yanluo picked up a towel to help the master wipe his forehead.

Seeing that it was safe over there, Xiao Han picked up his aunt, helped her to sit on a chair, and took the hot milk tea to her aunt's mouth.

Xiao Jingxian drank a cup of hot milk tea, and her face eased slightly.

"Auntie, how is the poison of sixteen?"

Xiao Jingxian's face was haggard, her eyes were sunken, and she gasped for a few breaths before she said quietly: "Xiao Han, after the sixteenth acupuncture this time, the poison has been completely cleared. ”

Qingfeng, the geese fell over there and listened to Mrs. Du's words, their eyes were hot, and they grinned silently.

Xiao Jingxian thought for a while and said, "Xiao Han, in three days, let's go back!" ”

Xiao Han looked at the people in the barrel, and said with a slight sideways look: "In the past month, my aunt has pulled out poison for Sixteen, and her body has lost a lot. It's freezing outside, the road is closed by heavy snow, and the way back is extremely difficult, let's ......"

"Madam, what Master Han said is very right, the road back is extremely difficult, Madame is not afraid to rest for a few more days, wait for our grandfather to get better and then send Madame back to Beijing!" As soon as Qingfeng heard that the two were leaving, he hurriedly said.

Xiao Jingxian waved her hand and said: "Xiao Han, it's been delayed for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be changes in the capital, so it's better to leave early!" My body, out of the way! ”

Xiao Han counted the days, and knew that it had been a long time, and only the second brother in the capital had been left with them to support him, but he was a little uneasy, so he nodded.

Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Qingfeng didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he hurriedly said: "In this case, Qingfeng will personally send his wife and Han Ye to go." ”

"No need, it's only serious that you take care of your family's prince!"

Yanluo smiled and said: "Madame doesn't know, it's cold and snowy outside, and the road is extremely difficult, Qingfeng is very familiar with this area, and with him leading you, the prince is not worried." Lord Wang, just leave it to the little one. ”

Qingfeng didn't wait for the two to answer, and bowed out of the military tent to arrange it by himself.

……

In mid-October, there was a shocking scandal in the family of the head of the household.

A group of thieves stole the silver of a wealthy family in the capital, and were arrested by the Soldiers and Horses Division.

The cold night was gloomy, the four thieves fled to the Sun family's Zhuangzi in the dark, and foraged for food everywhere under the cold and hunger, it was late at night, the Zhuangzi was silent, it was pitch black, only one room was brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of laughter and fisting.

The four thieves hid in the dark, and looked through the crack in the door, only to see four pots of silver silk charcoal set up in the corner of the spacious room, a few empty wine jugs thrown on the bluestone ground, and three single-clothed men on the huge wooden kang were drinking and having fun around the kang table, and a few exquisite dishes on the small kang table were eye-catching.

The thieves glanced at each other, swallowed a few heavy saliva, and coincidentally clenched the guy in their hands, intending to steal some wine and food to warm up when the three people in the room were drunk and asleep.

Half an hour later, the room gradually fell silent, and the thief led by the thief saw that the hour was almost up, picked up his knife, gently pushed the door and entered, and the first three people followed.

When I saw the three bodies of the white flowers on the wooden kang entangled, I was doing that kind of thing, and the thief was well-informed, and he was also stunned.

When the entangled three people saw the stranger breaking in, they were so frightened that they hugged each other and screamed, waking up everyone in the Zhuangzi.

When the four thieves saw their whereabouts, they did not do anything, they locked the doors and windows with their backhands, tied up the three naked* men, stuffed strips of cloth in their mouths, and left the leftovers of wine, all delicious.

The farmer on the village held torches, carried nail rakes, and turned the house around with a flat shoulder, and the housekeeper Liu on the village saw that the uncle was held hostage, so frightened that he crawled out of the nest and circled around the house, and in the early winter weather, the sweat of the bean dripping down from his forehead.

The thief had eaten and drunk enough, and had the remnants of wine and courage, and the hostages in his hands, he could not care much, so he directly put the knife on the necks of the three people, confronted the people outside the door, and asked the people outside to throw five hundred taels of silver over, and make a way, otherwise they would see blood.

Steward Liu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy, as long as he didn't hurt the people in the house, everything was easy to say. He dragged half a shoe and went to the uncle's room to find silver.

There are a few young people in the farmer's hands, the heart of the owner is in difficulty, at this time if you can make a great contribution, the owner is happy, maybe you can soar, immediately played a few gestures for daily work, while the steward is not there, suddenly rushed in, and the thief fights, for a time the sword and sword, the nail rake is not lively!

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division, who were chasing the fugitives all the way, fell from the sky and restrained the thieves with three blows and two blows. saw three slick, white and tender kidnapped men on the ground, who were already frightened and urinated, and made a ball. One of them had already fainted, so he stepped forward and loosened his tie, and when he asked, the one who fainted was actually Sun Jinghui, the uncle of the Hubu Shangshu Sun family.

Three days after this incident, rumors spread in the capital, restaurants, tea houses, and brothels were all talking about the scene of the Sun family's uncle and the man's boudoir, and it was becoming more and more intense.

In just a few days, from the emperor's grandson nobles to the peddlers' pawns, everyone knew that Sun Jinghui had a habit of breaking his sleeves. is even more eventful, and the uncle Sun's drunken and shameless boudoir life is compiled into a smooth mouth and sung everywhere.

In just a few days, the Sun family, who was famous and wealthy, was said to be a nest, so ashamed that even the heads of the two stone lions at the door were lowered by three points, and Sun Shangshu was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to rush into the ancestral hall to cry in front of the ancestors of the Sun family.

Before Sun Shangshu had time to cry in front of his ancestors, the sons-in-law, grandsons, wives, and daughters-in-law of the Sun family came to him one after another to cry. (To be continued) (..)
