Chapter 117: Whose Family Rejoices (2)
Li Gui's work efficiency was very high, and in just two hours, he finished the errand given to him by Wang Qifang.
"The eldest and youngest grandmothers, the slaves and maids who have signed the death deed, and the younger ones have placed them separately in the second inverted seat. Among them, there are thirteen family members, and the small ones temporarily divide them into three shifts, and every three people take turns guarding the door. When Li Gui said this, he raised his head cautiously, as if waiting for Wang Qifang's statement.
When Wang Qifang heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, well done, I didn't expect it just now, fortunately, you are a thoughtful person." By the way, since the person who was arranged to guard the courtyard, it can't be unarmed. Well, I remember that there seemed to be a few unedged waist knives in Thunder, and I would have someone send them to you later, and you would distribute them to the ones on duty. Although this waist knife is not bladed, it is stronger than empty-handed. ”
"Yes, the little one understands." Li Gui saw that the eldest young grandmother praised his ability to do things, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to reply: "There are a total of twenty-nine servant women who have signed the living deed, of which eighteen want to stay in the house, and the remaining eleven say that they can't rest assured at home and want to go back to see." However, they all said that they were just going home temporarily, and they didn't want to work with us anymore, so they didn't want to receive the money this month. ”
Wang Qifang smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Li Gui closed the roster in his hand and asked with some hesitation: "It's just that soldiers came to guard the gate this afternoon, and they are not allowed to enter or leave, if these people leave, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." ”
Wang Qifang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you told those who are leaving?" What do they say? ”
The nodule between Li Gui's eyebrows was even bigger, and he shook his head incomprehensibly, and said: "The little one said, but those people all cried and shouted that no matter what happened outside the fang, they had to go home to see, and they also said that Pingkangfang was a rich and noble fang, and the situation was so urgent, they all lived in the slums, and now there is not sure what kind of chaos there is, so they have to leave no matter what." ”
Wang Qifang said secretly, sure enough. To be honest, at first she didn't think too much about it when she proposed to separate the servants in the house, but when she went to the study to write the secret letter, she suddenly remembered that in the backyard of her house, the four palace maids were nails on the surface, but secretly? You must know that a few days ago, Wang Qifang chose a lot of servants to enter the mansion with great fanfare, and there was no eyeliner that the opponent mixed in? !
Hehe, if you don't say no, Wang Qifang doesn't believe it herself.
Therefore, let the servant woman who did not sign the death deed choose whether to leave or stay, maybe she can really blow up a few nails.
No, hearing Li Gui's kind dissuasion, as long as people with normal brains would not take this risk and go against the limelight to reason with the soldiers guarding them.
Also, ordinary people heard that the main family took the initiative to pay them wages, who was not happy next, who was so stupid to push the money in hand out. What's more, the situation outside is so chaotic, no one can predict what will happen next, what if the master's house runs away after he leaves, who will they ask for their wages?!
After listening to Li Gui's relay, Wang Qifang was even more sure that there must be problems with these eleven people. I just don't know who sent them.
Li Gui saw Wang Qifang's contemplative face, and swallowed back the words in his mouth.
happened to be seen by Wang Qifang that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong?" What else? ”
"That's right, according to your instructions, the little one moved my house and several grandmothers to the main courtyard, but the little one didn't find Grandma Sun, and asked the little girl who was serving her to find out that Grandma Sun went out of the city to visit an old friend, and it would take three or four days to come back, you see-"
To tell the truth, Li Gui was very worried about Mama Sun, there was a coup d'état in the capital, the four gates were closed, and the suburbs of Beijing were not much better. Listening to the rumors outside, the 10,000 women's army of the three princesses has gathered outside the city, stationed in several villages on the outskirts of Beijing, in addition, there are 16 janissaries are also on a large scale.
If you meet the three princesses' women's army, it's okay, but if you encounter any soldiers or rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wang Qifang also thought of this, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes, she sighed helplessly, and said: "I know about this matter, Grandma Sun asked me for leave before, but I was too busy with things in the past two days, so I forgot about her." Alas, at this time, all the gates of the capital are closed, and Mama Sun can't enter the city even if she wants to come back. ”
knew that this would be the case, Wang Qifang said that she would not agree to Grandma Sun going out to visit friends alone, so she also arranged two guards for her to protect her.
"Grandma don't have to worry too much, Grandma Sun has always been kind, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless her with safety." Li Gui saw Wang Qifang's worried and regretful look, and hurriedly comforted.
Wang Qifang nodded, "I hope." By the way, is there anyone visiting today? ”
Li Gui lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and said, "No." However, when the little one entered the main courtyard, he happened to meet the four palace maids in the east courtyard, they said that they had something urgent to go out, and the little one thought about your instructions, and asked a few words casually, and let them go out. But he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, these four aunts and grandmothers can be regarded as gone, there are so many people living in the house, he looks awkward.
"Well, just let them go," Wang Qifang was not surprised to hear the news, originally, the whole thing was planned by her, but now that the results have come out, it can only prove that her plan has succeeded.
"By the way, there is one more thing," Li Gui thought about it and decided to say it, "This morning, the five or six children in the backyard also went out, and the first five catties said that it was the little young master who asked them to go out for a little while, and they will come back in a while." It just so happened that when they went out, the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate had not yet arrived, so there was no conflict. However, the little one went to the backyard just now to ask, and they haven't come back yet. ”
"How many of them are five pounds? Did you say that Brother Xiaoxin let them out? When Wang Qifang heard this, her brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but worry secretly: No, Wujin is lying, since yesterday, Xiaoxin Ge'er has been left in the main house by her, and she hasn't even gone out of the yard, how can she order Wujin to do things? But why did he lie? After all these years of getting along, Wang Qifang absolutely believes in Wujin's loyalty to him, and is sure that they will not do anything to hurt their mother and son, but why would he rather lie and run out today?!
Want to hang out and have fun?
It's even more impossible, Wujin was originally a precocious child, and he was carefully trained by Thunder for three or four years, and he has already become extremely stable and mature, although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is more measured than adults in doing things, and he will never run out to play in this tense situation.
"Well, that's what he said at the time, and the little one originally thought that they were just going out for a while and coming back, so they didn't return to you in time, and the result was ...... It's all a small negligence, or the little one will take two people to quietly inquire about their news? ”
Li Gui was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that the situation in the capital would become so tense in just half a day's work, and he felt a little guilty and uneasy when he thought of Wujin and several of their teenage children being stopped outside, and the streets were in chaos, and they might encounter danger at any time.
Wang Qifang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "No need, Wujin has always been alert, and they grew up in the capital, and they are very familiar with the three religions and nine streams here, so there should be no problem." Besides, it's so tense outside now, you can't get out if you want to, and even if you do, it's hard to come back in. That's it, you better take care of the family first, five pounds of them, and I'll think of other ways. ”
Li Gui hurriedly agreed, and reported some trivial things to Wang Qifang, and saw that Wang Qifang had nothing to order, so he respectfully withdrew.
"Mother, is there something big going on outside?"
Yuan Niang held a tray, slowly walked in from the outside, carefully held the porcelain cup to Wang Qifang, and asked worriedly.
"Well, the prince forced the palace last night, and the capital is now controlled by the prince's people." According to Wang Qifang's previous thoughts, the moment she knew about the coup d'état in the capital, she would hide the children in the space and let the little monsters guard them, and never let the children be hurt in the slightest.
However, since being woken up by Grandma Yang last time, Wang Qifang has also realized that sometimes, you can't overprotect the children, so that they don't have any sense of crisis, which is not good for their growth.
In addition, Wang Qifang is also trying to adapt to the days when there is no space. If she hides in the space as soon as she encounters something, whether she or the children, she will never be able to learn and grow.
Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to let children get in touch with the outside world.
Therefore, Wang Qifang did not deliberately hide it, but simply told Yuan Niang about the events of the past two days, and cautiously reminded her daughter that there may be more chaos in the capital in the future, and those soldiers outside may also break into the house......
In the end, Wang Qifang discussed with her sincerely, "Your father is busy with the affairs of the Chivalry League, there are only four of us mother and son in the family, my mother has to deal with housework, my brother and sister are still young, can Yuan Niang help my mother take a good look at them?" ”
"Well, of course. Mother rest assured, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings, and will not let them run around, let alone let others hurt them. ”
Since returning to the capital, Yuan Niang has been learning the rules from Grandma Sun, and she hasn't been alone with her younger siblings for a long time. Not to mention taking care of them and protecting them. To be honest, Yuan Niang is a person with the feelings of an eldest sister and wants to take care of her younger siblings. Now that it's easy to get such an opportunity again, she can't be more excited.
In addition, Yuan Niang always wants to help her mother share something, and now she can finally help a little, which is also a lot of encouragement for her.
"Okay, my mother knows that Xiaoya is a sensible and well-behaved child, go and see what Xiaoxin is doing."
Wang Qifang patted Xiaoya's head with satisfaction, nodded at Li'er with a smile, and let Xiaoya go in to play with her younger siblings.
Seeing the little girl leave, Wang Qifang saw that there was no one around, so she came to the clean room in the east room, released the little girl, briefly told it about the current situation, and finally pleaded: "I will ask you for the safety of the three of them." ”
The little obedient pouted, and secretly scolded himself: Hmph, I knew that this was the case, I only thought of me when I had something, and I was thrown into the space as a beast if I had nothing to do. However, complaining is complaining, the little boy still can distinguish the priority, he nodded tuggingly, "No problem, I'm here, don't talk about one person, even a fly wants to get close to three children." ”
Wang Qifang smiled wryly and added: "Brother Xiaoxin, there are people around them, you, you can't let people see it, you have to protect it secretly." ”
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, as if he was dissatisfied, and after a while, he replied weakly: "Okay, I will hide from being discovered." "Really, I thought I could have a good time with the children again, but I didn't expect it to be able to show up, hey, I can't show up, it's still playing with a P.
said a lot of good things to the little girl, and Wang Qifang settled this awkward dragon.
After Wang Qifang's arrangement and Li Gui's resolute implementation, the entire Li family suddenly became much quieter, and the people all stayed within the second gate in a regular manner, and the concierge only left a chivalrous high-ranking apprentice to guard, the door was closed, if you didn't walk in to check, the people outside were likely to think that the Li family was an empty house.
The Li family is quiet, but the capital is even more lively.
Li Jingtian was right, the crown prince had just taken over the defense of the capital, and then began to carry out a purge, early in the morning of the third day of the coup, the heavily armed soldiers began to act, like wolves and tigers rushed into the shop to raid the house, arrest people: the Zheng family, the Cui family attached to the Zheng family, and several other die-hard Fuwang party were all wiped out, regardless of the old and the young, men and women, all of them were tied together by ropes and imprisoned.
Of course, the head of the family, the adult male, and the rebels were all killed on the spot.
Near the doors of the houses that were raided, blood flowed all over the ground, and the cry shook the sky.
The political opponent was killed, and King Fu was also knocked off the cliff and died, and the prince was very satisfied. But the only thing that made him feel uneasy was that the three princesses, who had always been neutral, disappeared, and then news came that the three princesses had gathered tens of thousands of women's troops to rush to the capital to prepare for the rescue of King Qin. In addition, the old fox of the Zheng family was also gone, and he left the capital the day before he launched the coup d'état, and he didn't know about this important news.
Failing to find two important people made the crown prince always feel that something was wrong, but now that he had entered the palace, there was no way back but to go down.
Huh~~ The Zheng family was killed, Jingwei's little slut was also chased and fled, and a person escaped from the princess's mansion without even caring about the child, presumably he would be caught soon, as for the other little minions, they were also cleaned up, and the Praetorian Guard and several large camps in Beijing also fell into his hands, and the big thing has become more than half, and the next thing is to 'please' the father's throne.
"Bastard! What a fatherless bastard! ”
The ninth princess was so angry that she only wandered around the princess's mansion, since last night, a large number of Qianniu guards have surrounded her in front of the mansion, and she has been placed under house arrest in the mansion, no matter how she screams and roars, and even takes out the Ugin horsewhip given to her today, and the deputy general guarding the door refuses to let her go.
At this moment, she regretted it, she really regretted it, she knew that what the third sister said was right, she shouldn't just care about gambling with the imperial brother, but should have evacuated the capital with the third sister. Well, now that the Nine Princesses have become prisoners, life and death are in the hands of others, this, how can she not panic and lose control?
"Jiu'er, don't scold, let's think about what we should do, right? Less words! ”
A flash of brilliance flashed in the eyes of the nine horses, and he came to the side of the nine princesses with a smiling face, and asked softly.
"What to do? I don't know? Now that rabbit cub has caught the imperial brother, and he is probably trying to force the imperial brother to take the throne. I don't have a good relationship with him, if I really wait for him to become the emperor, hmph, I don't have a good life with you. The ninth princess was depressed as soon as she talked about it, she obviously didn't have a good relationship with the prince, how could she still have the reputation of a princeling.
Thinking of this, the ninth princess suddenly turned her head and stared directly at the nine horses, her burning gaze was like a searchlight, looking at her husband inch by inch.
"What's the matter, princess, what's wrong with me—I?" Being stared at like this, Rao is nine horses were prepared, but they were still frightened into a cold sweat, and stammered and asked.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on in Wenyuan Society? And the one surnamed Yang, your classmate, who is he? The ninth princess thought of a possibility, her face became extremely ugly, she took two steps closer to the nine horses, and asked in a deep voice, "He is from the Zheng family, right?" Oh no, I should say he's Jingwei's dead girl, right? ”
The Nine Pony's pupils tightened suddenly, but he still endured and didn't speak.
The Nine Princesses walked around the house twice, and finally turned back, almost lying on the face of the Nine Horses, gritting her teeth and asking, "Or, you were originally from the Zheng family, huh?" ”
Jiu Juma was stunned, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes were half-narrowed, pondered for a long time, and finally smiled, and his face did not have that kind of humility, but with a little madness, nodded and said: "Jiu'er is really smart, that's right, the husband is indeed a member of the Zheng family, and Wenyuan Society has been secretly helping the Zheng family attract talents." ”
"Why? You obviously know that I hate the Zheng family and Zheng Guifei, and you still mess with them? How long has it been? Wenyuan Society has only been established for ten years, have you hooked up for ten years? ”
When the ninth princess saw that the nine horses had admitted without shame, she hated her and raised her whip, and really wanted to whip this useless thing to death.
"It's because of you," the nine horses' faces were full of resentment, and their accusatory eyes stared directly at the horsewhip in the hands of the nine princesses, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I think I am also everyone's son> but now I live such a wretched life, but anyone in the house who has a face dares to show me a face." That's nice, nine horses, huh? Bridegroom? An appendage of your nine princesses! Wu Jiuniang, tell you, I'm not convinced! I'm not reconciled! ”
