Chapter 184: Unloading the mill and killing the donkey
"What Lao Taijun said is, and this is just the beginning, when there is progress on Xi Huacheng's side, I am afraid that there will be more chaos in the future, and I am afraid that there will be more people fleeing. But the old lady also wants to open some, my father has assisted the emperor for so many years, and he is a capable minister under the emperor, if it is really chaotic to that extent, I am afraid that the emperor will rely on my father's ingenuity and wisdom There are still many times, since my father is a useful person, his life is naturally safe, and at most he will be reprimanded by the emperor for a few words. β
"That's what you're analyzing, too." Although the situation was tense, Qin Yining's explanation, the old lady who listened to it felt happy for a while, and her tense expression was also slightly relaxed, "As long as the people are still there, the others don't matter, I don't care about any high-ranking officials, I just hope that everyone in this family is safe." β
Seeing Qin Yining's words, Mama Qin coaxed the worried old lady to feel better, she was very grateful in her heart, and smiled with gratitude and admiration for Qin Yining.
He brought a cup of milk bird's nest and handed it to Qin Yining, and then pinched the old lady's shoulder: "Look, isn't the old lady happy." If you want the slave to say, the four girls are just like the Hou Ye back then, the old lady thinks about the Hou Ye or not, not to mention that the Hou Ye may come back in the blink of an eye, that is, when the Hou Ye did not come back, there were still four girls there. β
The old lady looked at Qin Yining's handsome face, and her mood was much more relaxed.
Qin Yining smiled, scooped a spoonful of milk bird's nest and fed it to the old lady's mouth, "The old lady takes a bite." Seeing that the old lady was willing to eat, she continued to feed her, and persuaded her, "You just have to live with peace of mind, cherish yourself, our ladies and sons work together to stabilize the back house, father, uncle and cousin can also do things outside without worries, you are the backbone of our family, as long as you are strong and strong, it is like a Dinghai Shen needle inserted in the Dragon Palace, no matter how much you can't turn up the big waves outside." β
While persuading, he coaxed the old lady to eat milk bird's nest and ate snacks.
However, at the time of breakfast, the old lady liked Qin Yining a lot.
The positions are different on weekdays, the old lady dislikes the Sun family, Qin Yining prefers the Sun family, and gives the old lady no face several times, and the grandfather and grandson are naturally very stiff.
But now they have the same position, they are all for this family, and Qin Yining's intelligence, which was disgusted by the old lady in the past, has now become the backbone of her current support.
Yes, the old lady's feelings for Qin Yining are different.
It's just that Qin Huaiyuan's heart was tightened again with Qitai's reply when he rushed back.
Just after lunch, Qin Yining was about to take a nap, when a little girl ran around panting and said, "Madam, girl, Qitai is back, this son is coming to the inner house, going to Cixiao Garden." β
Sun and Qin Yining glanced at each other, and hurriedly dressed up and went to Cixiao Garden.
The second lady, the third wife, Grandma Yu, Grandma Han, and several girls all hurried over at this time, even Uncle Yu and Second Master Han, who were often in the outer courtyard, were also there.
Qitai knelt on the ground and said, "Old lady." β
"Say it! What's wrong with MΓΆnggoer! The old lady stood up and grabbed Mama Qin's hand tightly.
Qitai kowtowed and said: "I just got the news, the Hou Ye was applied by the emperor, dismissed the prince and the prime minister, retained the Marquis of Anping, and was sent to the prison of the Criminal Department. This will be the life of the person, but the emperor doesn't know when the dragon nature will disappear, and he doesn't know when the Hou Ye will be released. β
The old lady's eyes darkened for a while when she heard this, and she only exclaimed: "My son! He fell back and fainted.
Sun covered his mouth and cried.
The ladies in the house burst into tears one by one, panicked, and went to take care of the old lady and appease the Sun family, making a mess.
Qin Yining pursed his lips, took a few steps to Qitai, and said, "Are you sure that your father's life is safe?" β
"Yes, for now."
"What's the news out there right now?"
Qitai said: "The emperor once again enabled Cao Guozhang, named Cao Guozhang as the prince and teacher, and supported this response, and the specific villain is unknown." β
When Qin Yining heard this, he was stunned.
Qin Han and Qin Yu were both furious.
Qin Yu was steady and able to keep his mouth shut.
Qin Han scolded angrily: "What does the emperor mean by this? It was he who reused the eldest uncle at the beginning, and now he said that he would take it down, and he reinstated Master Cao, our family and the Liang Zi of the Cao family are now married, and Master Cao is on the throne again, can our family still be good? My uncle and my father are loyal when they are officials in the court, and the emperor ......."
"Second brother!" Qin Yining grabbed Qin Han's wrist and looked at him sternly.
Han's second grandmother also took Qin Han's hand and shook it, crying.
Qin Han realized that he had lost his words and shut up suddenly.
Qin Yining said: "I probably know in my heart why Taishi Cao recovered, and I will naturally tell my brothers when I turn around." β
Then he asked Qitai: "When you came back, how was the situation in the city?" β
Qitai's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a dry voice: "The number of displaced people in the city is gradually increasing, and there are still displaced people fleeing into the city outside. This year's drought, the treasury has been empty after several wars, and the peace talks have used a large amount of silver, the emperor shouted the slogan of opening the warehouse and releasing grain, but how much grain can hold up so many mouths to eat one after another? Now the displaced people are not living, and the people in the city are also panicking. There are already many people who are selling their houses and land. β
The old lady had woken up from the pinching at this time, sobbing and listening to Qitai's reply.
Everyone was terrified and cold, and this sense of fear of the coming end was like a cold poisonous snake wrapped around a person's neck, making people almost suffocate.
"Sister Yi'er, can our family also sell a house and land?" The old lady asked weakly.
Qin Yining turned around and asked, "Old lady, our family sold the house and land, what about after that?" β
The old lady was speechless for a while.
The room was silent, with the occasional frightened sobbing of the sisters.
Qin Yining turned around, faced the room full of female dependents, and said seriously: "The people of our family can't run away. Under the emperor's eyelids, he can't run away, even if there is a day when the country is broken in the future, with the prestige of our Qin family for many years, under the noses of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin family can't run away. β
"However, we are a family, a family that shares blessings and hardships, and I will not forget this, and neither will everyone. The Qin family has been in hardship, but also in the past, and the whole family rushed over in a group when they were in danger, and now they are not safe and stable? The Qin family has a hard backbone, and they also have enough wisdom to mediate with external powers. As long as we calm down, we will definitely be able to figure out a way. β
"Yes, the fourth sister is right." Qin Han nodded heavily, "It's normal to be afraid, I'm not afraid that it's wood at this juncture, but the eldest husband does something and doesn't do something, even if the emperor sentences our male family to be beheaded, we can't die crying to death, and lose the face of our ancestors!" β
"What the second brother said is true. What's more, things didn't come that far at all. There's still a lot of room for us to move."
ps: There is a change at 8:30 tonight, a new week, I wish you all the best, Mo Da!
