Chapter 67: Gossip, Driven Out of the House
The morning light shines on the land of Dongsheng, the cold of the golden autumn has eased a lot, and the people of Qingzhou Mansion have opened the door one after another, and the smoke is curling, full of vitality.
A few figures appeared on the street, mixing in twos and threes, whispering, and before long more and more people came out of the house and joined in, and the sound of conversation was no longer suppressed.
"You say that Miss Hou Mansion still has a life? I heard that I was robbed yesterday, and I haven't come back until now! ”
"Who knows? It is estimated that the ransom will be put back, but it is just ......"
"You say that this lord of the Hou Mansion is the county commander, and the second lord is an official in Beijing, I heard that he is still a popular person in front of the saint, and the robbers with such a prominent family background are not in his eyes, but we ordinary people still have a head alive?"
"You're right, Miss Houfu doesn't think there will be any danger, but even so, this reputation will be ruined!"
"What other reputation does she have? I heard that she seduced the prince of Zhao in broad daylight before, and then the prince of Jinling Temple was assassinated, and she seduced His Royal Highness the prince, such a water-based poplar still needs fame? Zhao Da suddenly came out of the corner and said angrily.
"What? The assassination of the crown prince? Why haven't you heard of it? When is the thing? ”
"I also heard about this matter, it happened more than a month ago, I heard that the monks of Jinling Temple died a lot, and the guards of the Hou Mansion were also seriously injured, and then there was news revealed, but Zhao Zhizhou pressed how to let us know the specifics?" Liu Fangzhai's little second child put a white towel on his shoulders and pouted.
When everyone heard this, they were all full of anger, the prince's virtue was well known, and now that he had been assassinated, the anger and resentment aroused by the people were monstrous.
"Speaking of this, my heart is uncomfortable, the crown prince was assassinated on the eve of Chongyang, if it weren't for the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion who discovered the abnormality, the prince would have died long ago, and what about our Zhizhou? But he pretended not to know anything, and the next day, the prince raised troops to return to Beijing, passing by our Qingzhou Mansion, which people did not come to see each other? Only the so-called Lord Zhao used the excuse of going out on patrol in some micro-clothes, and he didn't even show his face, and now the robbers are infested, and Bao Buqi is the murderer who assassinated the prince, but the governor is still so quiet? There is really no saint above, and there are no people below! Zhao Da said indignantly.
"How can this work, the saint is wise, the prince is virtuous, since this Lord Zhao has no intention of doing things, what qualifications does he have to sit in his current position? Although I have no fame and no ability, but Miss Hou Fuliu said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband! Now I, a reckless man, will go to the Zhizhou Mansion to be the prince and seek justice for the people of Qingzhou, if you still have conscience and blood, you will be with me, I don't believe that there is no justice in this world! A big man in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the Zhizhou Mansion.
Many people on the street spontaneously approached the Zhizhou Mansion spontaneously, scolding and scolding along the way, what is really difficult to hear.
At this time, Qinglong and the maid sat in the carriage, and the handlebar of the Hou Mansion outside the car drove the carriage in the east city gate calmly, and then heard the wind and rain in the city, what Zhao Zhizhou did not seek his politics in his position, the third lady of the Qinhou Mansion water-based Yang Hua, tending to be inflammatory, not as good as the young Sixth Miss with a righteous mind, loyal to the country and the people, and the bold robbers robbed the young girl in broad daylight, and the murderer who assassinated the prince was at large and so on.
Angry, her face turned pale, urging the person to hurry to the Hou Mansion. I thought that my family must have prepared hot water and food, but I didn't expect the door to be closed, leaving Qing'an standing alone at the door.
"My subordinates have seen the third miss!"
"Why are you here? But grandfather asked you to pick me up? Come in, I'm ......" She smiled brightly, very bright and cute, not at all like the feeling of the rest of her life.
"Back to the third miss, the Hou Ye said that the 7749th did not arrive, and the young lady behaved negligently, so the 49th day was replaced by 9981 days, and asked his subordinates to send the young lady back to Jinling Temple, and there was also ......"
"What? Send me back? I was frightened and wronged, and in the end, I couldn't even enter my house, and I had to spend 9981 days in the temple? No! I'm not convinced! I want to see my grandmother! ”
As she spoke, she jumped out of the car and rushed to the vermilion gate, muttering:
"I want to see my grandmother, and if my grandmother knew, she wouldn't let you go—"
"I'm sorry! I'm afraid that the third lady won't be able to see the old lady today! Someone—"
When Qing'an's words fell, Qingning appeared, grabbed her, and pulled her towards the carriage at the door.
"Let go of me, I want to see my grandmother, I want to see my mother! Grandmother—help me—"
"Stop-" A loud shout caused everyone to move, and when they turned to look, they saw Qing Changfu walking over quickly.
"Father?" Her face was overjoyed, and the tears on her face stopped abruptly.
Qing Changfu arrived in time, followed by the shopkeeper of the restaurant with a mole on his eyebrows, his face was as gloomy as ink, he walked quickly in front of her, pulled it out of Qing Ning's hand, and pulled it behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Get out of the way—"
"I'm afraid not!" Qing'an took a step forward and did not retreat at all.
Qing Changfu frowned, facing Qing An, who only listened to his father's orders, he felt a headache, but today his daughter finally came back, if he couldn't let her enter the house, how could he explain to his wife?
Thinking of this, he inadvertently looked behind him, the shopkeeper felt something, and the astonishing evil aura suddenly appeared, the startled Qing'an and Qingning glanced at each other, and looked at the past in surprise, in their perception, the person in front of him was extremely inconspicuous, if he didn't deliberately leak his momentum, he was afraid that no one would know that he was a master among the masters.
Then the two put their right hands on their waists, and the situation was about to erupt.
Boom –
At this moment, the door opened, and the old lady walked out with the support of Mama Gu and the third lady.
"Mother-grandmother, Long'er wants to go home!" Qinglong immediately burst into tears, quickly got out from behind Qing Changfu, and threw himself into the arms of the old lady, with tears in his eyes.
"Good! Good! Grandmother takes you home! ”
The old lady hurriedly helped her up, and looked distressed at her granddaughter, who had lived in the temple for more than a month and had lost a lot of weight. The third lady covered her mouth and nose, tears fell one by one, and her blurred vision was always on her daughter's body.
"No! It takes at least 7749 days to do filial piety for the elders, and she only has 40 days, and she left halfway, but she was robbed for a day and night, and misbehaved before, so that the entire Qingzhou Mansion is talking about her, how ugly the words are, how ugly the words are, you don't want to be embarrassed, Ben Hou can also ignore face, but the daughter of the Hou Mansion still wants to marry? Do men still want to take a wife? Qing Sanyuan scolded the old lady for the first time in front of everyone, and the shocked whole house changed color and lowered their heads.
"There is no need for Long'er to be so wronged by her filial piety for her concubine, her filial piety and concubine body know very well, when has the rumors and rumors of the outside world been broken? If you really care, the six girls you love bear the brunt, but a seven-year-old girl, so in the limelight, won't you lose face in the Hou Mansion? The old lady stood in place, holding Qinglong's hand tightly, her eyes were extremely sharp, and she did not give an inch.
"How can she compare to the six girls? Compared with the six girls, she is too much worse, in Ben Hou's opinion, in addition to causing trouble and embarrassing people, she is also ......"
"Father—"
Qing Changfu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, interrupting his words below, and then opened his mouth to say something, but met his angry gaze, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Father-in-law——, Long'er, as a junior, should be filial to the old lady, and it is indeed her fault to go home halfway. But she is still a child, and she is frightened again this time, can she come back to bathe first, and then go back to Jinling Temple? She saw the old lady confronting the Hou Ye, and she didn't know when it would end, looking at her daughter who had lost a lot, she was extremely anxious, so she spoke.
"Since it is to copy the scriptures and pray for the old lady, it is natural to be single-minded, with a beginning and an end! Even if she was frightened, she went to the temple just in time to chant the scriptures to suppress the shock, so she didn't have to be so troublesome! He persevered.
"But—"
"Qing'an, you personally send her back to Jinling, Qingning, you go to the Zhizhou Mansion to have a look, if Lord Zhao doesn't send troops to suppress the bandits, Benhou doesn't mind asking for help from the saint."
"Yes!"
"Grandmother save me, I don't want to go to the temple, there's nothing there, I'm going to eat meat——, what does the nonsense of those mobs have to do with me? Help me—"
Qinglong's screams came into everyone's ears, and everyone's faces were extremely ugly, especially Qing Sanyuan, thinking that she was willing to stay with the six girls in order to get close to the prince, but now that the latter has just returned home, the temple is like a snake and scorpion hell in her eyes, and it is really a shame for him.
"Long'er-" The old lady was extremely distressed, took her hand, looked at him beggingly, and thought that since she was too strong, she would lower her head and attack tenderly.
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't bring the old lady back yet? Qing Sanyuan's heart trembled, he couldn't stand her grievances and tenderness, and immediately glared at Gu Mama, his words were extremely fierce and full of majesty, so that the latter almost didn't hesitate to pull the old lady straight to the Summer Palace, and at this time, Qing Ning pulled Qinglong to the carriage outside the mansion and walked quickly.
"Wait a minute! Since the father-in-law insists on doing so, is it okay for the daughter-in-law to accompany him? Li Wanru's tears faded, and her eyes were extremely firm and unwilling.
"Whatever you want!" Qing Sanyuan was unmoved, and turned around as if he hadn't seen it.
"Father-" Qing Changfu was anxious when he heard this, in his heart, no one is as important as his wife, no matter how good the temple is, no matter how pure it is, it is also a place of pure suffering, how can he give it up?
"Shut up, don't think you can be left alone! If Lian'er has nothing to do, if there is a bad one, she will not be spared. After that, regardless of the other people's reactions, he walked to the study by himself.
Clear Water Pavilion
Jasmine informed her of what was happening at the gate of the house, and then retreated in silence.
Qingyan's mind turned sharply, called Qingping, and whispered: "From this moment on, you help me keep an eye on the third uncle, he will definitely not give up easily!" ”
Then the corners of his mouth sneered, and he murmured secretly: "Since you dare to attack your sister, you must bear my anger!" ”
Governor's Mansion
Many Qingzhou people protested angrily, thinking that even if they waited for a day, there would be no result, but they didn't expect that in just a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers in the palace left the house, and then under the leadership of Lord Zhao and his son, they went straight to the east city gate.
At the same time, the leader of the Jingshan bandits had already entered the city, sitting in the restaurant of Qing Changfu, waiting patiently.
Yulin Pass
Chang Tianyou just walked down from the city wall, and a carrier pigeon flew in front of him, he took it, and after reading the news, he looked fiercely in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion and smiled.
