In the end, the two gave each other a step, neither as Sizhen said, just kill two or three, nor as Sun Yanling said, kill all the problematic ones at the beginning, in addition to Nizi, they also killed eleven people who started to stir up trouble, except for seven refugees, the other five were confessed, there were people who were the third son, and there were people who worshipped, but they couldn't come up with evidence at hand, and there was no basis for what they said, Sun Yanling could only keep this account in his heart.

Because it was a public execution, letting those refugees watch those individuals behead is not bad for the deterrent effect.

The refugees fled all the way, there are white bones on the road, there is hunger floating on the road, everyone has seen a few dead people, and even experienced the death of their loved ones in the eyelids, they are no strangers to death, so they can make trouble for a while, but they are still the first time to see such a living beheading, especially when they think that the head under the knife may almost be themselves, they feel even more frightened, the back of their necks is cold, most people are weak after watching the punishment, and some people even vomit and faint on the spot.

At this point, there are fewer cases of refugees stealing chickens and dogs, and no one dares to make trouble with their own heads.

In addition to reporting to the imperial court that no more disaster relief may provoke civil unrest, Sun Yanling forced the wealthy families in the city to donate silver and grain, and insisted on holding on until the silver grain of the imperial court came down, and settled those refugees either returned to their hometowns or began to cultivate land in the surrounding areas, and gradually restored the peace of Guilin in the past.

In the palace of Dingnan Wangfu, it is not peaceful, since the old lady knew that Sizhen may not be able to get pregnant again, she had another plan.

On that day, the old lady came back from outside, walked into the yard with a group of girls, and saw the moon season that was about to bloom on the branches.

"It's still comfortable in my own house, and when I enter the courtyard, it's much cooler than outside."

Hearing her words, everyone laughed and said, "That's not it?" It's hard for the old lady to work so hard, and she can't be idle on such a hot day. ”

The old lady said lightly: "What can be done? The princess is busy training all day long, and she can't take care of the affairs in this house, and there was such a murder a few days ago, which is really annoying. Now that Sister Xiu'er wants to get married, how can I be so lively and angry, I have to do it myself, and do a little bit or two. ”

Sister Xiu'er is the third girl of the big house, Sun Jinxiu.

"It's not, in other people's mansions, at your age, you should have enjoyed Qingfu a long time ago, but in our mansion, you can't leave you for a moment, so it's naturally hard." Everyone gathered around the old lady and entered the room.

After entering the house, the maids and ladies wiped the hands of the old lady with a handkerchief, added ice basins, shook fans to supply wind, and served tea to quench their thirst ......, all of them were busy one by one, which really made her feel the majesty of being an old feudal monarch.

The old lady waited for the heat on her body to subside, and then waved her hand to order the idle people to wait, and asked the red willow on the side: "What kind of things did she choose?" ”

"Old lady, the princess has chosen these spices." Hongliu hurriedly took out the spices and showed them to the old lady.

The old lady's gaze stayed on the two of the incense sticks, and she smiled lightly: "She doesn't know, right?" ”

She didn't say it clearly, but Hongliu knew what she was asking, so she whispered: "I don't know what it is, but Lan Que, who was on duty in front of her, asked the slave maid at that time, and the slave and maid naturally didn't know." ”

The old lady pursed her lips tightly, her hand unconsciously brushed the Buddha beads in her palm, her eyes were heavy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Hongliu said cautiously: "Old lady, why don't you go and remind Lan Que?" ”

The old lady smiled and said kindly: "No need, let the people of Tianxiang Pavilion do it well, don't cut corners, and don't be careless." If you don't do well, don't want silver, you have to compensate us for our losses. ”

The old lady's attitude made Hongliu slightly surprised, but she didn't question it, and only replied softly.

"Grandmother, I heard that there will be a feast in the evening, right? The granddaughter wants to eat braised abalone in sauce and palace swallow papaya soup. Sun Jinrong ran in with a smile, went straight to the old lady's side, grabbed the old lady's sleeve and made a coquettish request.

Sun Jinrong is the concubine of the big house, and the aunt who gave birth to her was the eldest maid in front of the old lady, so their mother and daughter love to come to the old lady.

Although there is an old relationship, as a grandmother, she has no prejudice against her as a concubine, which is what Sun Jinrong likes most about the old lady.

In fact, Sun Jinrong's mother-in-law Zhao did not have any inconsiderate treatment for her, but from Zhao's standpoint, of course she would not deliberately please a concubine, naturally she spoke and acted lightly on weekdays, and everything she did was according to the rules.

Although she was told a few times by the Zhao family not to disturb the old lady's rest all day long, she would still come to the old lady from time to time to laugh.

For this Sun Jinrong, a sweet-mouthed granddaughter who can amuse, the old lady is also happy to use some small favors to coax her to say something that she wants to know in the house.

Braised abalone in sauce and palace swallow papaya soup are Sun Jinrong's two favorite things, since Sun Yanling got married, the old lady followed the second room, and no longer supplemented them as before, the life of the big house is not as good as before, and the precious food like abalone and Gong Yan has been eliminated from the daily diet menu of the big house.

On weekdays, except for Sun Bao and his wife, who occasionally eat some, not to mention a concubine like Sun Jinrong, even in the meals of the concubine, in addition to the New Year's holidays, those precious foods are also easy to find.

The old lady smiled, looked at her dotingly and smiled: "I know that you like to eat, so I have already ordered it to go down." You have to tell you what you want to eat next time, otherwise when you remember, the meals are ready, where will you be in time? ”

If there is any benefit to the Shang Lord, it is that the Sun family's food and clothing have gone up the ladder, and she is in charge of the affairs of the house, and she is more free than before, and she can be good to whoever she wants.

Not to mention a little food, it is silk and satin, treasures and pearls, all at your fingertips.

If it weren't for the fact that Sizhen took a lot of non-imperial things and sold them into silver to help the refugees a while ago, their Sun family's life would have been more luxurious.

Although, because this is the Dingnan Mansion after all, Sun Yanling is the lord and not an ordinary wife, the old lady still has many concerns and constraints, but she still thinks that the head of the family has to be a man, how can she be oppressed by a woman? Sun Yanling's heirs are thin, and the courtyard of the two aunts rarely passes, which is the result of Sizhen's jealousy, so in her heart, the old lady's dislike for Sizhen is three points more.

"I know that my grandmother loves me the most." Hearing the old lady say that she had already bled early, Sun Jinrong leaned on the old lady's shoulder coquettishly.

She saw the spices that Hongliu was packing up, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Hey, aren't these the two incense I usually use?" Why is there also here? ”

The rules of Tianxiang Pavilion are that the spices in a house are only for one person to use, so as not to hit the incense.

Hongliu silently mouthed her, looked at the old lady again, and said that she was not good at saying it clearly, and she would be scolded by the old lady.

Sun Jinrong naturally understood, and stepped forward angrily to shake those pieces of spices to the ground: "It's for the princess, right?" Why is she so domineering, and she robs everything with others? Could it be that there is nothing else in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion except these two spices? ”

Although she is a concubine, Sun Jinrong grew up in front of her mother-in-law since she was a child, especially the Zhao family often says that she is good-looking, not worse than her daughter-in-law, and she is very accustomed to her on the bright side on weekdays, so Sun Jinrong is more pampered than some concubines.

"Oh, six girls, stop it!" Hongliu hurriedly snatched the spices from her hands, "You also know how expensive the spices of Tianxiang Pavilion are, you are going to drop these pieces, the old lady will have to fill it with her own moon silver this month!" ”

Sun Jinrong is the fourth among the girls in the big house, but she ranks sixth in the Sun family, so Hongliu calls her the sixth girl, like Sun Jinxin, the third girl in the third room, according to the order of the brothers of the Sun family in the house, she is ranked seventh.

Sun Jinrong put down the spices in a daze, and was still unconvinced: "You just tell the princess and sister-in-law, saying that I don't like to bump incense with her, take all these away, and see what she has to say." ”

Hearing her words, the old lady raised her eyebrows and said disapprerovingly, "You haven't suffered enough, have you?" Do you still want to be scolded by your second brother again and locked up for a few days? ”

A few days ago, there was a dispute between Sun Jinrong and Sun Jinxin, Sizhen met and said two sentences to them, she was disrespectful to Sizhen, and Sun Yanling saw it, and directly taught her a lesson, and when she came back, she was punished by Zhao and grounded for a month, copying a hundred Buddhist scriptures.

Speaking of the old things, Sun Jinrong immediately turned red: "Old lady, according to your age, you are the oldest in this house, but she relies on her identity, and her food and clothing on weekdays is the first in the house, and she has no respect for you at all, you said that you will reward two people for the second brother, and she will dare to refuse you in person, even if she is a princess, she is also married to our Sun family, why is she always so high and domineering!" Does she treat us like family? ”

"Last time, I just said a word, and I was locked up for a month, and now I use the incense, she comes to grab it again, she wants to use it, how will I use it in the future? Just because she's a princess doesn't mean that someone else should let her do everything, right? ”

The old lady smiled faintly: "Your princess sister-in-law is a noble emperor, her life is unspeakably expensive, and she is naturally more delicate than others, you can't be convinced by this, who calls her a princess, you are not!" Don't say that you want to make two kinds of incense that you usually use, even if she wants your clothes, you have to take them off for her. ”

"But how did my granddaughter hear that she had a bad life and committed a lonely star, so she killed her parents and brother. Grandmother, you said that the second brother has been with her for a long time, will he be restricted? ”
