CHAPTER XXXIV

The letter eagle is not a difficult animal to regulate, the coachman Wang teased it with the meat for a while, and then he got acquainted with it, in the words of Zhang Carpenter, when the coachman Wang was in the barracks before, there were no animals that could not be broken, like horses as fierce as gallops and electric switches, like the hunting dogs used in the barracks to patrol the camp to prevent outsiders from breaking in, like ...... Ahem, the girl who used to serve by the old lady's side......

Hearing Carpenter Zhang ridicule the coachman Wang like this, the coachman Wang only listened to it, and didn't argue with him at all, Liu Qingxin understood, what he said was true, but it was ...... The coachman Lao Wang's family should have only one wife and no concubine, is it difficult to ......

"Madame guessed correctly, the mother-in-law of my family is the one Lao Zhang said, I hooked up with her, and the girl who used to serve by the old lady's side."

fed another piece of raw meat to Xinying, and the old king of the coachman did not return, so he smiled and explained his doubts to Liu Qingxin, "After we got married, the old lady sent her back to my hometown to do her filial piety for my father, and later, my father and mother left, and there were two children at home, so I didn't let her go back, and later, the old general was punished by the emperor, cut his position, and returned to his hometown with a serious illness, so she came out with me to do things, help make money to support the family, and help support the general and the old lady." ”

After listening to the words of the coachman Lao Wang, Liu Qingxin immediately understood why his woman was so tight-lipped.

In the past, how could a person who worked in the barracks and was personally adjusted by the general's wife talk nonsense about the affairs of the master's family?

There is no trivial matter in military affairs, if you leak a little, it is possible to be convicted, if you are not cautious enough, I am afraid that you will be punished by military law a long time ago, where can you still live now!

If it weren't for the need for the mother-in-law of the old Wang family to take care of the old general and the old lady. She really wanted to delegate more housekeeping to her......

"She used to serve by the old lady's side? You're so nice! ”

Liu Qingxin originally planned to let people know the identities of the old general and the old lady as little as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. At this moment, there is such a tight tone. Isn't it just convenient to have someone who already knows their identity and can serve them!

It's much easier to find someone who can be a housekeeper than someone like her!

"Brother Zhang, if you are in trouble, go and call Sister-in-law Jiang for me, and I will talk to her about this."

Thinking that in the future, I will send Sister-in-law Jiang to serve next to the old general and his wife, and there will be one less person around me who can do things. Liu Qingxin couldn't help but sigh, and thought about it with some worry, ...... in the future It is appropriate to choose which mother-in-law to do things by your side, "Brother Wang, you see...... When will this letter eagle be used to the extent that it can send letters? ”

"Give me another stick of incense, and it'll be about the same!"

Hearing Liu Qingxin say that he wanted his mother-in-law to go to the East Chamber to take care of the old general and the old lady, the coachman Lao Wang suddenly showed a happy look. He is not a person who cares about money, otherwise, he would not have a tight family in his own family. Together with the other three, he took out the silver every month to spend on the old general and the old lady, and in his mind, even if his mother-in-law, that is, sister-in-law Jiang, didn't earn any money, it was extremely cost-effective to serve and take care of the two elders, "If the lady wants to write a letter to the master." Now, you can go! ”

Liu Qingxin returned to the main house in the backyard for a while. I heard Sister-in-law Jiang rushing over with small steps, and her steps were very anxious. It's a little different from usual.

Liu Qingxin originally thought that Sister-in-law Jiang would be happy to go to the East Chamber to serve the old general and the old lady, but unexpectedly, before she could speak, Sister-in-law Jiang knelt down in front of her with a "plop", and her eyes were red.

"Sister-in-law Jiang, ...... are you?"

Liu Qingxin, who couldn't understand what Sister-in-law Jiang meant, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up from the chair, stepped forward to help her up, and handed her a silk handkerchief, "What's the matter?" Come, get up first, kneel and it won't end up with anything, if you have something, let's talk about it......"

"Madame, don't let the slave take care of the old general and the old lady, slave and maid...... No matter how hard and tired the slave and maid are, they are willing to take out all the monthly money of the slave and maid to honor their two elders, and they are also willing to ......."

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't help but shed tears, sad and sad, where is there still a little bit of her usual generosity, "Their two elders are kind to slaves and maids, slaves and maids, slaves and maids are willing to repay their kindness and support them, but ...... But begging the lady to agree...... Don't let the slaves serve them, slaves and maids......"

"You don't want to serve their second elder? Brother Wang didn't say that you used to ...... Is it just to serve by the side of their two elders? ”

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Liu Qingxin can understand this, but someone who speaks like Sister-in-law Jiang is grateful to the second elder and willing to support the second elder, but he is unwilling to take care of it himself...... But she couldn't figure it out, "You...... Can you tell me what is the reason for this......"

Raising her head, she cautiously looked at Liu Qingxin, and Sister-in-law Jiang was silent for a while, and after a long time, she slowly opened her mouth again and asked Liu Qingxin, "The slave told Mrs. the whole story of this matter, Mrs. ...... Are you willing to help the slave and maid keep secrets? ”

"If you are willing to tell me, that is a sign that you trust me, although I don't have any skills, but, this promise is the same, but it can be done, you name it."

Liu Qingxin is not a person who likes to inquire about other people's affairs, but this matter is very likely to be related to the safety of the old general and his wife, so she has to be cautious and break the casserole to ask to the end, "If the reason is indeed good, I will respond to your request, and your husband, I will also think of ideas to help you cope with the past!" ”

"In this matter, the slave and maid also listen to the mother and mother of the family...... I didn't dare to believe all the words I said when I was dying, but I ...... The slave maid thought that there were some things that she would rather believe in what she had than what she didn't have, and that it would be appropriate......"

Sister-in-law Jiang gently bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and swallowed her saliva again in embarrassment, and at the end, as soon as she closed her eyes, she said the thing that made her embarrassed and told Liu Qingxin to know!

Sister-in-law Jiang's mother-in-law, who was the child daughter-in-law of the old general's family, was raised by the old general's mother for as long as she can remember, and the old general's mother carefully conditioned her.

At that time, the old general's family was not a wealthy family, and the family had some land, and it was barely enough to feed the family, and then support him for a person like him who studied and practiced martial arts...... Although Sister-in-law Jiang and her mother were bought back, marrying him is not considered Gao Pan......

Sister-in-law Jiang and her mother are four years younger than the old general, the old general is fourteen, when she is about to go to the imperial capital to participate in the martial arts test, Sister-in-law Jiang and her mother are only ten years old, the old general's mother thinks that she is still too young to marry the old general, so she is not in a hurry to give them a happy event, only let them change a token, even if this matter is settled, let the old general go to the imperial capital to take the exam.

However, I didn't expect it...... The old general won the championship in the martial arts test in one fell swoop, and won the blue eyes of His Majesty the emperor at that time, and was awarded the title of marriage, and he couldn't help himself, so he married the daughter of the Zhang family at that time, that is, the old lady today, and let the sister-in-law Jiang and her mother, who were waiting for him to come back to marry, had no hope at all.

The old general's mother is a very reasonable woman, and because her son has a chance, she dislikes Sister-in-law Zhang's mother, who has been accompanying the old general to grow up, helping her with her and doing housework, she told the old general, let him take Sister-in-law Jiang and her mother as a concubine, so as to give her a name, don't live up to her love for him, be a man, and have a conscience.

The old general at that time also had this thought, but he had no choice but to start the war, and before he could mention this matter to his wife, that is, the old lady now, he was sent by His Majesty the Emperor at that time to go to the border, and this time it was a full ten years.

The border wars are repeated, the old general and his subordinates will make meritorious contributions, kill the enemy in blood, and defend the territory for His Majesty, and may not be able to return to the Central Plains once a year, and the mother has no time to visit, how can you still have the leisure to remember that Sister-in-law Jiang and her mother are idlers who can't even be counted as relatives?

And Jiang's sister-in-law and her mother are stubborn women, she ignores the advice of others, and takes care of the old general's mother in her hometown day after day, waiting day after day...... By the time the old general became famous, she had passed the marriageable age and had become an authentic old girl!

The old general returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the neighbors praised him for his sister-in-law Jiang's docile and generous mother, who was a good woman who could not be disappointed, and the old general also felt that he owed her, and it was time to give her a name, even if it was just a concubine, so that she could enjoy happiness with herself in the rest of the time, and finally compensated her.

So, under the decision of the old general's mother, the old general picked a good day with Jiang's sister-in-law and her mother during the period of returning to his hometown to visit relatives, set up a banquet, and rounded the room.

Accepting a concubine is not a big deal, which man from an official eunuch family does not have three wives and four concubines?

But this is the kind of thing, even the old general's wife, that is, the current old lady, did not feel the slightest bit of annoyance, but under the encouragement of the old general's political enemies, it became a felony of "contempt for imperial power", so that the old general was imprisoned in heaven and became a death row prisoner.

People must be saved, but how to save them, how to calm the anger of His Majesty the Emperor at that time, has become a big problem.

Just when the family was in a hurry to become ants on a hot pot and no one could think of a way, Sister-in-law Jiang's mother-in-law left home in the middle of the night without consulting anyone...... This is a dangerous road that few people can come back alive!

The supreme emperor, which is the majesty that everyone can see?

Although the Ming Dynasty set the law that civilians are qualified to face the saint from the beginning of the country, it has been since this law was issued to that time, nearly 200 years, no commoner has really tried it! (To be continued)
