Chapter 515: Raw Rice and Cooked Rice
The city's Layue, there is no sense of excitement at all, the families of the eunuchs and magnates in the capital are worried about the case of the three princes, and the small people in the city are not clear, but they are sensitive and smart enough, and they feel the feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Bai Jingning wanted to push this case that could not be investigated deeply to the head of the Great Ci'en Temple, which at least would not implicate too much, but was strongly opposed by the prince's family and Su Xiang's family, especially the second prince, who knelt down on the main hall, crying and angrily, and almost fainted.
The sticky and sluggish case, as well as Chen Jiang's extremely blind mention of the Xiong family and the Zhao family, added fuel to the fire, making several ministers quarrel in front of the emperor, even Yan Xiang, who has the best cultivation and has always been a good man, also became angry, and choked with Wei Xiangsu with a straight throat.
The facts of the case seem to be getting more and more confusing, the court is getting more and more noisy, the more and more impeachment is being folded, and the scope of impeachment is getting wider and wider.
The emperor's head was as big as a fight when he was stirred up by the chaotic court, and he was extremely irritable, and raised his hand to fly the kang table in front of several important ministers who were arguing in front of him again, "Look at you, what is it like?" One by one, what's the difference with a shrew? ”
The emperor nodded at the people who stood still and didn't dare to move, "Go, go to Jin Qing's mansion, go and learn from Mr. how to be a courtier!" Let Sir teach you well! ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
From Wei Xiang to the Privy Counselor Bai Jingning, Ji Xiang Zhao Changhai, you slanted at me, I slanted at you, turned around without saying a word, and walked out together.
The emperor meant that they should ask Jin Xiang to get an idea, and then invite Jin Xiang back by the way.
Guo Sheng got the letter that Wei Xiangsu, Su Xiang, Yan Xiangbai, and Zhao Jixiang came out together, and along the alleys and alleys, they were running fast, and Wei Xiang and the others' cars and horses had just walked halfway, Guo Sheng greeted this extremely rare group of people, crowded in the lively crowd, and dotted all the way.
Seeing everyone enter the Changsha Palace, Guo Sheng's eyebrows were raised, he stayed for a moment, turned around, and went straight to the Qin Palace.
Now that he has entered the Changsha Palace, he doesn't need to keep an eye on the back, he has to hurry up and give this important matter to the girl.
Li Xia was looking at the map to check the itinerary of the Xuyi Army and other garrisons, and after listening to Guo Shengyu's report, his eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were up, and a smile came out little by little.
I don't know if it's her delusion, the emperor's patience seems to be not as good as before.
"Since you have invited the golden phase, let's celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." Li Xia glanced at the map and said with a smile.
Guo Sheng laughed and agreed.
The funeral of the Li family in Yongning Bo Mansion was done very safely at such a time, coupled with Mrs. Yan's deliberate unassuming.
Li Xuejue, the second master of Li, and his daughter-in-law and second wife, Guo Shi, guarded the spirit for a day, and they were busy checking the library and checking the accounts everywhere, but Mrs. Yan only restrained Li Wenlin, and she was powerless to restrain the two.
As usual, without the second master Li Xuejue and his wife, the family and the guests who came and went did not feel anything.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the people of the Li Mansion sent the coffins of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yao to the Potai Temple outside the city for storage, and waited for the old man Li Xuezhang to come back, the cemetery was repaired, and then buried in the earth
Li Wenli was dragged by the second uncle to divide the family, and in the past half a month, he has seen the second uncle's ability to mess around, turn his face and refuse to admit his account, etc., and do his best to fight with the second uncle Li Xuejue, and finally realized that he did not live up to A-Niang's entrustment, and when he came back from the funeral, he was urged by Li Xuejue to take the separation list to Mrs. Yan together.
Mrs. Yan lost a lot of weight, just changed her clothes, took the soup and sipped it, and didn't look at the two thick family separation lists that Li Wenlin put in front of her, only looked at Li Xuejue and said: "I said before, this family, divide it first, and then move to each house when your eldest brother comes back to see it." ”
Li Xuejue's eyebrows raised, and Mrs. Guo's heart suddenly rose, she knew that this matter was not so convenient!
"When I was in Jiangning Mansion, your eldest brother said more than once, when the third family was divided, the division was less, so it couldn't be regarded as a ......."
"Why can't you be a separation?" Li Xuejue interrupted Mrs. Yan's words with a stiff neck, after more than half a month, he was very bold, "The third child himself said that what he deserved had already been divided and taken away, and the sister-in-law is saying this now, what does this mean?" If you think you have a small share of the long house, you can say it! ”
"I didn't mean that." Mrs. Yan's voice fell, "This list, wait for your eldest brother to come back and take a look, calculate the itinerary, that is, ten days and half a month, your eldest brother will come back, tomorrow will be twenty-nine, there is no reason to move things and divide the family during the New Year, wait for your eldest brother to come back." I am tired. ”
Mrs. Yan motioned to Li Wenlin, "You take these back, wait for your father and your eldest brother to come back, and let them see if they are suitable, this is not my business." ”
Li Wenlin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly agreed.
He is really confused, what is he fighting with the second uncle in front of him, he can do whatever he wants, anyway, he is just writing casually at this time, and when his father and eldest brother come back in a few days, how to divide it, whether to divide it or not, it is all a matter of his father's words!
Li Wenlin's face couldn't hide the excitement and joy, he responded crisply, reached out to pick up the booklet, turned around and signaled to Li Xuejue, "Second uncle, A-Niang is right, this booklet, I still have to wait for Daddy and Big Brother to come back, let Daddy read it, don't you say?" ”
Li Xuejue looked angry and was about to yell at Mrs. Yan, but Mrs. Guo grabbed him and pulled him out of the upper room and out of Mrs. Yan's yard.
"What do you quarrel with her, you can't quarrel with her." Far away from the courtyard, Mrs. Guo paused, looked left and right a few times, leaned up and said in a low voice: "She hit that idea, it is not obvious, when the boss comes back, they are too many people, that is, they can bully us as much as they want!" ”
"I'm just going to reason with her, what are you pulling me for?"
Li Xuejue glared at Mrs. Guo.
His attitude towards his daughter-in-law has changed dramatically lately, because he has found that his daughter-in-law is very insightful.
"What's the use of theory? This family has been divided, she has divided it whether she sees it or not, she also said, she shouldn't care, the clan elders have drawn a charge, and Brother Lin has drawn a charge for their long house, and this family is divided. ”
Mrs. Guo Er said a few words in a row, biting the family and dividing it, cheering for Li Xuejue, and even more courageously for herself.
"She just looks at the New Year, this and that, we can't fall for her, since we have divided the family, we have to move away quickly, this house is divided into two, since the boundaries are set, no one can be found to start the construction in the first month of the lunar month, then first build a fence out, pull a rope, or dig a ditch, in short, we have to make raw rice into mature rice first, and move back what we have shared!"
Li Xuejue suddenly realized, and smiled, "Sure enough, you still understand, yes, yes, yes!" Now that it's divided, let's move things quickly. Don't say she can't control it, but she can manage it...... Can she manage Lao Tzu? ”
Li Xuejue and Mrs. Guo agreed on a big plan in a few words, hurriedly went back, gathered their own henchmen, and immediately started to move things, tie fences, pull ropes, dig ditches and split the family.
Li Wenli jumped anxiously, trotted all the way to find his mother, Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan was tired and sick, and was sending someone to ask a familiar doctor to go to the outpatient clinic, only to throw a tired sentence: Let them go first, just wait for your father to come back.
Li Xuejue and Mrs. Guo Er commanded everyone to move things and draw the boundaries according to the family booklet, Zhao everyone's, Sun Zhong's daughter-in-law, Lao Liu's mother, Shen Mama and other chief stewards and grandmothers, commanded everyone to open the warehouse to count and move, and it is not a bad thing to divide the family.
The Mingcui Courtyard where Li Xia lived, and the Ming'an Courtyard where Mrs. Xu now lives, are on the other side of the second room, the Mingcui Courtyard is now empty, Mrs. Xu and the third master Li Xueming have already gotten Li Wenshan's words, Li Xueming went to Li Wenshan's study in the front yard to read, Mrs. Xu asked people to pack up the things in the Ming'an Courtyard, temporarily find an empty room in the second gate to put it, and go to Mrs. Yan's courtyard to talk.
Mrs. Yan asked a few grandchildren to be picked up and let people watch them rest in their yards, and the eldest grandmother Zhao and the second grandmother Huang were assigned to watch the separation, but she didn't assign them, and they couldn't settle down.
Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xu were crooked side by side on the kang, listening to the movement outside and gossiping.
"This family, if you say it's divided, it's divided." Mrs. Xu was very emotional.
"It's divided." Mrs. Yan's voice was calm, "Ah Xia is right, there is no feast that will not be dispersed, besides, at this time, it is better to divide into three families than one, alas." ”
"It's good to work together...... I don't understand this, since my sister-in-law thinks it's good, it must be good. Alas, this is the New Year, when I was young, I didn't see the second husband and wife. ”
"At that time, he was a bastard, but with his eldest brother's pressure, the old lady was not like now, raising a son, on par with him, the Li family...... The grandson is fine. Madame Yan sighed lowly.
"In the family, that is, Brother Lin's daughter-in-law is better, but she is timid and small, and her mother's family has no confidence, this child, I don't know what to do." Mrs. Xu sighed worriedly.
"When the eldest master comes back, tell him this, he can suppress the second family, and the children and grandchildren will become talents, he has always watched things like this, don't worry too much, everyone has their own blessings."
Mrs. Yan spoke, her eyelids drooping.
"Sister-in-law is tired, let's sleep for a while, I'm also tired, I'll go to the West Chamber to rest." Mrs. Xu stood up, Mrs. Yan straightened up slightly, watched Mrs. Xu enter the West Chamber, listened attentively for a while, closed her eyes and rested.
Li Wenshan and Li Wenlan's yards are all drawn on the side of the long house, and the fifth grandmother Tang Jiarui watched the children fall asleep, and together with Li Wenshan, she wore a cloak, stood outside the corner gate, looked at the lanterns in the house, and moved things to mark the land lively.
"Thinking about it now, before I got married, Ah Xia was thinking about the separation of the family." Tang Jiarui and Li Wenshan said in a low voice.
"Well, Asha has always been thinking long-term." Li Wenshan looked at the bustle and busyness in front of him, and his mind was a little dazed for a while.
Ah Xia said that he said that she came back through the soul, and the tragic things he said were in a trance, as if she was in a dream, and this was five or six years, or six or seven years? Ah Xia never mentioned a sentence and a half before, and he never asked again, not because he didn't ask, but because he couldn't remember.
Li Wenshan subconsciously raised his hand and put it on Tang Jiarui's shoulder, as if since he got married, he never thought about the past life that Axia said, he no longer cared about how it was in the past, in the past and after, no matter how many lives, no matter what kind of experience, there is no day in front of him, like this, with her, such a happy day, if there is really a life and a lifetime, he hopes that life and life will be the same as now, no matter how many lives, he feels that it is not enough.
In the huge palace of King Qin, the lights are bright, but it is very deserted, and unlike previous years, there are people in this mansion this year to celebrate the New Year.
The emperor has had an extremely bad year this year, the excerpt of impeachment is still being handed into the palace until the twenty-ninth year, the case of the three princes has no explanation, the court is noisy, the harem Su Guifei cried when she saw him, and scolded when she saw Queen Jiang, the emperor can't be annoyed anymore, under the pretext of losing his mother and child, this year should not be lively, the first time, the palace is deserted, and even the big drama of exorcism is all grass to deal with.
There is no need to enter the palace from thirty to fifteen, this year, Li Xia naturally wants to spend time alone in the Qin Palace, and everyone should not move around, except for Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo took a car to the Qin Palace, no matter what royal capital she had, just follow the rules of their Mingzhou Mansion and let people prepare soup dumplings, the soup balls must be filled with meat, hurry up and beat the rice cakes, how can you celebrate the New Year without rice cakes?
Li Xia followed behind Mrs. Huo, watching Mrs. Huo alone is the excitement of a big show.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Old Mrs. Huo commanded everyone, lighting the state's exquisiteness, prepared five or six exquisite small dishes for her and Axia, prepared a table full of delicious dishes for the girls in Li Xia's courtyard, and laid them out in the warm pavilion in the back garden, and called two commentators to come in, telling ancient sayings and legends.
Li Xia didn't eat much, and Mrs. Huo didn't eat much, the two of them were crooked on the warm kang, drinking tea, looking at the girls who were playing fists and guessing in the broad warm pavilion, and the girls were very lively.
"The prince is in Jiangnan, right?" For the first time in the past few days, Mrs. Huo asked about King Qin, and talked about topics other than food, clothing, and entertainment for the New Year.
"I don't have much faith yet, but it should be smooth. The Jianghuai area is Hu Panshi's territory, and Old Man Huo is next to him, if he can't go smoothly......" Li Xia didn't continue.
Old Madam Huo laughed, "That's the same." The prince is silent, but it is not simple. I know, but I'm still worried. ”
"Grandma, this is a mess of concern."
"Not really." Old Madam Huo laughed, "Let's celebrate the New Year here, and I don't know how to move in the house over there." ”
"Almost, it's getting people digging ditches and hedgerows."
"This is really ......" Old Madam Huo shook her head and smiled, "When I was young, I didn't know how many ridiculous things I had seen, but like this, there are not many small families and small households, and this is really the first time I have heard of it." I can't hide this, after the New Year, maybe someone will fold the bullet this and that, it's okay, right? ”
"It's okay, if you want to impeach, it's just an impeachment of the uncle's lax governance of the family and the loss of personal morality, which is not a big deal." Li Xia's expression was indifferent.
Old Madam Huo looked at her and said in a low voice after a moment: "I have heard your uncle say it a few times, but the emperor is still young." ”
"I know, grandma don't think too much, I don't think too much, let's take the next step, and take a look at the rest." Li Xia didn't want to continue the topic.
Old Madam Huo hummed clearly and changed the subject.
