Chapter Ninety-Six: That Joke Is Not Simple!
Zhang's usual sent the concubines out of the door on behalf of the third room. []
When the door opened, he saw that Jiang Yashuang was already waiting under the stairs as he had been waiting for a few days before.
Because it was snowing, he held an umbrella, but Jiang Tan didn't let Jiang Tan take it, but he held it himself, and Jiang Tan stood not far away wearing a robe. The master and servant are both tall men, and their upright posture in the snow reminds people of the various beautiful and elegant trees described in the book.
At this time, it was already dark, and the lantern hanging in front of the door of the third room was very faintly illuminated in the wind and snow. Under the dim light, Jiang Yashuang, who heard the movement of opening the door and turned his head, his face was like a beautiful jade, his black eyebrows and starry eyes, and his thin lips were slightly hooked like a spring breeze, and his face was actually dimmed not far behind him, and the red plums blooming in the wind and snow not far behind him.
Such a good son-in-law, and so considerate.
Zhang and the others were really envious and jealous, and they complained as if they were true and false: "Nineteen is coming to pick up people again?" I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat nineteen brothers and sisters! β
Jiang Yashuang stepped forward to greet her sisters-in-law with a smile, and helped her wife who hurriedly walked down the steps, and then said with a smile: "Where?" Fang Cai's grandfather summoned him, and when he came back, he passed by here, and it was estimated that Chenguang was almost done, so he waited here. β
Zhang and the others didn't believe it: "You come to pick up people every day, when we don't know?" Still making excuses, it's hard for the sisters-in-law to see you come to pick up people? β
Xiao Zhuang quipped: "The little couple is embarrassed, so they start making excuses?" β
"It's really my grandfather who summoned me, and the sisters-in-law didn't believe it, so I asked the guards!" Jiang Yashuang pointed to the armor soldiers on both sides, those armor soldiers did not squint, their faces were expressionless, but they did not respond to give him the meaning of proof, Zhang and the others laughed even more: "Anyway, we see you come to pick up people every day!" β
"Wind and snow are unhindered, the idiom says rain or shine, where can I compare with you?"
"Even my grandfather was brought out to cover up? Well? Let's not talk about them, the nineteenth brother is really annoyed...... Ha ha! β
Qiu Yulan's heart was sweet - with her temperament, if she didn't pretend, there was no pressure at this level of teasing, and she didn't feel the need to enter shy mode at the moment, so she didn't blush, and stood aside with a smile and listened to Jiang Yashuang's serious explanation-soon Jiang Yashuang realized that although he was eloquent, it was completely unwise to argue with a group of sisters-in-law alone......
So he chose to die down very simply: "It's late, don't delay the sisters-in-law to go back!" β
After speaking, he arched his hand, pulled up the autumn trail and slipped away!
The two have walked for a while, and they can still hear the laughter coming from the door of the third room - Qiu Yulan looked at her husband walking in a hurry, and couldn't help but laugh: "You are afraid that they will ridicule, so don't come to pick it up in the future, anyway, it's at home, just a few steps!" β
"Aren't it all you?" Jiang Yashuang pinched her hand hatefully, and said, "A good soft sedan chair refuses to sit, you have to walk back and forth, this is windy and snowy, even if there are sealed corridors in most places, but there are also a few sections of mud and snow, and it is already dawn when you come in the morning, and it is okay." Now it's dark in Chenguang this time, and the lantern can't shine very brightly, so I'm not going to pick you up, what if I fall?! β
"I can't move at home all day, and if I have to sit in a sedan chair in the third room, my bones will rust!" Qiu Yulan leaned towards him with a smile, "Okay, okay, I know you feel sorry for me...... Go back and stir-fry two dishes for you? What do you want to eat? β
Jiang Yashuang glanced at her softly, thought about it and shook her head: "You're too busy these days, let's rest after you go back, so as not to get tired...... I'll talk about it later. β
The two of them sweetly returned to their yard, had dinner together sweetly, freshened up and returned to the inner room, and naturally had another sweetness after entering the account...... After Qiu Yulan lay in her husband's arms and begged for mercy, Jiang Yashuang was reluctant to let her go.
Young couples have good energy, and they are not sleepy after lingering, so they naturally want to talk privately.
After flirting and scolding, Qiu Yulan remembered the joke told by Xiao Zhuang's family, how could she feel unsettled, and after thinking about it, she still tentatively mentioned it to her husband: "I heard from the eleventh sister-in-law today that the three prime ministers took the lead in investigating the real culprit, and they didn't let go of all the big and small things, and even the Empress Dowager Ye asked for an extra basket of eggs in the lunar month last year?" β
"There's such a thing." Whether Jiang Yashuang is a man, or a child who is cultivated by both Qin Guogong and Empress Jiang, knows more than Xiao Zhuang's family. It's not that he can't tell his wife about this, since Jiang Yahong told Xiao Zhuang's family, now that Qiu Yulan asked, he didn't hide it, and revealed in 1510, "Empress Dowager Ye can be said to have been living secretly over the years, although now Empress Dowager Gu doesn't want her life very much, but she is still living cautiously just in case." For examples, it is also the fourth aunt who gives her what she wants, and never talks much. I remember that a few years ago, the palace people were greedy and bribed, and she didn't want to say anything after being hungry for several days, but the people around her couldn't stand it, so she quietly went to the Beique Palace to give the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt knew. This time he suddenly made a request, but it was the first time since this dynasty, and it was just in time for an extraordinary period, so the prime ministers naturally wanted to ask. β
Seeing that his wife bit her lip lightly, as if she was thinking hard, she asked in surprise, "What?" What do you think of this...... Questions? β
"Nope!" Qiu Yulan immediately denied it, "I just thought of the eleventh sister-in-law and sighed, saying that the Empress Dowager Ye is old, and it is not surprising that she wants to eat something soft and gentle, but the three prime ministers asked like this - according to what you said, this queen mother doesn't like to trouble people, and then I'm afraid she won't even dare to ask for eggs." Thinking that she was the successor of the first emperor, the lord of the six palaces in the past, even the Empress Dowager Gu had to salute respectfully when she saw her...... It's ...... to be reduced to this point now."
"The world is impermanent." Jiang Yashuang smiled faintly, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, "Our family is now rich and proud, once it loses power, the Dou family is an example." Therefore, no matter what means I use, I will help my elders to keep this wealth, so that the people and things I love will not be trampled on by others! β
Qiu Yulan leaned on his chest and smiled: "Come on!" β
This night passed the Jiang Yashuang perfunctory, and the next day, Jiang Yashuang left first as usual in the morning, and went to the study to serve Qin Guogong's pen and ink - in fact, he also went to listen to Qin Guogong's handling of official documents and treat people.
After Qiu Yulan freshened up, he saw that there was still some time to leave the third room, so he was stunned for a while, and instructed Su He, who was looking at him worriedly: "Let Mother Li steam the red date cake at noon, steam more, and send some to each room and each family at that time." β
Su Yiyi calculated and said in surprise: "So many?!" He also confirmed, "Each room is also returned, and each family is ...... But I don't know which ones to send? β
"The eldest cousin and Uncle Zhuang must not be leaked, and the same is true for the Hou Mansion in Jibei." Qiu Yulan rubbed his eyebrows, "Xihe Wangfu...... Send one too. And then there's the Xin family, Princess Chunfu's mansion, and the Qiyang County Palaceβoh, and Uncle Lian's side! β
She didn't bother to take care of the sisters-in-law's maiden family, the purpose of this steamed pastry was originally the palace of Qiyang County.
So after asking Su He to call Mother Li to prepare to make red date cake, she called Xia Ran to her and whispered: "The health of the prince and his wife in Qiyang County has never been very good. Duanrou has filial piety, and when he used to be in the palace during the summer, he asked me for cooking skills. At that time, I was too busy to mention her carefully, this time you will deliver the pastries of the Qiyang County Palace, and tell her that I am very good at a few private dishes to recuperate the body in this season, and try to lure her to take the initiative to come! It's best to come over as soon as possible! β
Xia Ran nodded: "The maid must do it!" β
This is the benefit of Xia Ran - knowing what to ask and what not to ask, Su Yi will definitely try to get to the bottom of it - well, Su He was also very well-behaved, and Qiu Yulan herself spoiled her. Now if you want to do something you don't want to explain, you have to send this little girl away first......
"It's better to find her a husband and marry her!" Qiu Yulan couldn't help but think about it, but, "It's still a little reluctant...... Pretty and lovely little girl, who has been with me for so many years, has to be taken away by others all of a sudden...... Gee! I kind of understand the mood of people marrying their daughters! β
Thinking of marrying her daughter and thinking of Jiang Qizheng - two days ago, she wanted to visit Princess Chunfu's mansion, but was stopped by Mrs. Tao.
The reason is: "The princess's mansion is just a couple of kites, you are a lady, and it will definitely not be a colt to receive you in the past, and the colt has to be avoided." You don't want to think about the fact that Zheng'er has injured his foot now, and he has to beat your spirit to entertain you, where are you going to visit, isn't this adding to the chaos? I've already sent someone to visit, and I've expressed my mother's family, so don't worry about it! β
Qiu Yulan could only congratulate the people sent by the old lady that they should not have noticed anything wrong, and at the same time depressedly blamed herself for not thinking carefully enough, and finished her resignation......
"This troubled husband!" She shook her head and leaned limply on the table, "Okay, what about this now?" Empress Dowager Ye...... Egg...... Three Prime Ministers...... How can you be a prime minister without some intuition? It seems ridiculous for them to check this matter, but it may not be crooked! It's just that...... Maybe they don't know a common sense? β
But even though Qiu Yulan had a premonition that she seemed to have touched the key point of the emperor's poisoning, she didn't want to tell Jiang Yashuang and any of her husband's family members immediatelyβbecause according to her assumption, Empress Dowager Ye couldn't get out of the relationship!
She hadn't seen Empress Dowager Ye, but since she knew about Youmian Xiang, the bloodline of the Ye family really made people feel bitter - Empress Dowager Ye, Qiyang Junwang and his wife, Chu Chunxiao...... This family is so sad!
If Empress Dowager Ye is involved in poisoning the emperor again, even if she has been protected by the Jiang family over the years, in order to prevent the Empress Dowager from relying on the Jiang family for the real culprit behind the scenes, the Jiang family will not hand her over openly, and will definitely kill her secretly...... lest one day she will point the finger at Queen Jiang!
"Chu Chunxiao shouldn't be wrong, after all, Queen Jiang still needs her to make a pair ......with Xiao Su," Qiu Yulan rubbed her forehead in annoyance, "But it's hard to say that the prince and his wife are not good, the king of Qiyang is a fool, but the Jiang family has done too many evil things, will he be merciful because he is a fool?" Although the princess of Qiyang County is the daughter of the Jiang family, the Jiang family was able to marry her to the king of Qiyang County, even if this matter was the calculation of the Dou family, but was she married? It can be seen that the Jiang family doesn't love this daughter very much! Empress Dowager Ye must have a plan to survive for so many years, but she poisoned the emperor this time, no matter how you look at it, it was because Chu Chunxiao's marriage was forced to be urgent! β
So from a personal point of view, Qiu Yulan is really reluctant to expose the queen mother.
But she also has to think about herself - what does Empress Dowager Ye want to do?! Does she have any other back-ups, and what kind of damage will she cause to the Jiang family and the queen party?!
It is impossible for Qiu Yulan to sympathize with the fate of being pitted into the Dou family by her because she sympathizes with Empress Dowager Ye...... This is the reason why she hopes that Xia Ran can lure Chu Chunxiao over, she has no time to visit the Qiyang County Mansion now, so she can only come to Chu Chunxiao, this county lord's niece is the only person who can see Empress Dowager Ye more often!
