Chapter 43: Which side is Uncle Eight on?

Although the news that Mrs. Zhuang is going to return to Beijing has caused chaos in the government and the opposition, the people have not yet arrived, and many things must continue to be done.

For example, for Qiu Yulan, Wang Qingqian's slander of the festival has to be ended.

"You don't want to talk about what you personally went to Jingzhao to judge that day, so I won't ask." Qiu Yulan hugged the hidden sac and complained to her husband, "But Cousin Wang's name has to be explained!" Even if Miao Zhaoyi and King Wei both know that she is innocent, but if people in the world have no shame in front of them, it is not beautiful! ”

Jiang Yashuang said strangely: "Didn't you already ask the government to refute the rumors for her?" ”

"What comfort would you like to ask the fourth aunt to appreciate?" Qiu Yulan said coquettishly, "It's not that I deliberately knocked on the fourth aunt, but, when the prospective imperial daughter-in-law encounters such a thing, what more can justify the rumors than a royal reward?" ”

"Didn't the fourth aunt reward Cousin Wang all along?" Jiang Yashuang felt very strange, "According to the usual, the palace should have made an edict a long time ago!" ”

Qiu Yulan leaned on his shoulder: "If you want to make an order, I will tell you about this?" She felt that this was a very bad sign, whether the Empress Dowager Jiang forgot it or did it on purpose, but from the outsider's point of view, this was a symbol of Wang Qingqian's loss of points in front of the Empress Dowager!

For today's royal family, everyone knows what it means to be a royal daughter-in-law who makes a bad impression on the Queen Mother.

Qiu Yulan has been detained at home these days to raise the fetus, and she can't enter the palace at all, and naturally she can't get timely news from the palace. can only hope to brush Wang lightly through her husband.

Jiang Yashuang frowned for a moment and said, "Ming'er, I'll go into the palace and ask the fourth aunt." ”

looked at her vigilantly, "When I enter the palace, you are not allowed to run around!" Otherwise, the next time something like this happens, I won't run errands for you, I'll just watch you at home! ”

"I will be obedient!" Qiu Yulan said loudly without blinking.

"It's strange to believe you!" Jiang Yashuang saw that her answer was exactly the same as last time, and she didn't change a word, and snorted, "Ming'er, I'll send you to your grandmother first!" Let Grandmother watch you for me! ”

Qiu Yulan felt ridiculous, slapped him, and said coquettishly: "You really think I am a three-year-old child?" ”

"Three-year-olds aren't as hard to clean up as you!" Jiang Yashuang raised her hand and flicked the corner of her forehead, "Don't mess around, it's still cold, and it's been cold in the past few days, and the rain and snow are continuous...... It's too late to go out and regret it if you slip and fall! I'll take you to your grandmother's tomorrow when you get up, and you wait for me to pick you up, and don't wander around!" ”

He did what he said, and when he got up the next day, he directly sent his wife to the back hall to ask for peace, under the pretext of "Lan Lan hasn't come to greet you for a long time, I miss it so much, I said that I will come to you for lunch today", and left his wife to Mrs. Tao to take care of her, and then she retired.

How could Old Madam Tao not know his thoughts? However, she was lonely on her knees, and when Qiu Yulan came over, she let people hug An'er, tease the child, and don't feel troublesome talking to Qiu Yulan.

Without saying a word, the subordinate hurriedly came to say: "Old lady, the eighth lady asks to see!" ”

Old Madam Tao was a little surprised: "Why did the Huang family come over?" "The old lady has always only asked about her stepson and stepdaughters-in-law, and the stepmother should care about her as much as she does, discipline and restrain her, she pretends to be confused.

Of these, eight. Because the old man Jiang Tianxiao is the youngest son of Qin Guogong, his biological mother is still alive, and he still serves Qin Guogong overnight, so Mrs. Tao doesn't care about him even more. So even with the Huang family, he rarely came to the old lady.

Hearing that she was coming, Old Madam Tao was surprised and then thought about it, but she understood something, and said to Qiu Yulan: "I'm afraid you eighth aunt came here when she heard that you were here!" ”

Qiu Yulan was inexplicable: "How come?" "She doesn't remember what she has to do with this eighth aunt?

"Today's Shazhou Thorn Shi Huang Si is the uncle of your eighth aunt's family." Mrs. Tao's words made her suddenly realize: Jiang Qizheng and his entourage had an accident in Shazhou, whether the Shazhou Thorn Shi participated in it or not, knew it or not, and what happened under his jurisdiction, of course he had to take responsibility!

Thinking about the reason, she also knew why the Huang family only came now. After all, although the Huang family is not a few years older than her, he is a generation apart. As an aunt and the wife of an uncle, there is really no reason to go to the yard of a nephew and nephew. I didn't have any contact with him before I handed it over, and I couldn't find the right person - of course, it may also be that I am afraid of Jiangya frost.

It was so easy for her to leave the courtyard and come to the old lady, how could the Huang family let go of this opportunity?

However, Qiu Yulan didn't plan to agree to her: "I said a few words for Qiu Feng before, but it was still under the banner of thinking about Princess Chunfu, and I was all thrown off by Nineteen!" If he agrees to intercede for that Yellow Thorn Shi, will he not be angry when he goes back? I'm angry if I change it! ”

So he said to Mrs. Tao: "In this matter of the court, my daughter-in-law and a woman don't dare to talk too much!" ”

Mrs. Tao also knew that she would not agree, Qiu Yulan lacked nothing, was not greedy, and was not afraid of offending people, so why did she risk falling out with her husband to give face to the Huang family?

Not to mention that Mrs. Zhuang is already on her way back to Beijing, how stupid can this daughter-in-law be able to intercede with the officials who need to be responsible for the death of her sister-in-law?

"Go and tell the Huang family, I'm busy here, if she doesn't have anything important, let her come back!" Mrs. Tao had already given the bet to the fourth room, and now she saw that Qiu Lulan made it clear that she didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so she simply did it to the end and stopped people for her.

The old lady refused to see it, and the Huang family didn't have the courage to break in, so they left in a hurry.

However, Qiu Yulan thought that this was the end of the matter, but after she and An'er were taken back by Jiang Yashuang in the afternoon, before she had time to ask her husband about entering the palace, Zhou's mother walked in with a strange face: "The eighth lady just sent someone to send a food box over, saying that she made some chic food in her small kitchen, thinking that the young lady is now pregnant and has a good appetite, so she sent some!" ”

Qiu Yulan's appetite during pregnancy is really good, so each room with a good relationship makes some food that is usually rare, and will fill a bowl of it. When Jiang Yashuang heard this, he said, "Send it to the kitchen to heat it up, or do you need to eat it immediately?" ”

"But it can't be hot!" Mother Zhou said and took out a large roll of silver tickets from her sleeve, and said helplessly, "In the food box...... These are the things. ”

Jiang Yashuang was stunned, but he was an official in the court, or the kind that was cultivated in a key way, and he didn't need to be reminded by Qiu Yulan to think of Huang Thorn Shi, and his face sank: "This is sent for Huang Si?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know." Mother Zhou really doesn't know what Huang Si is not thinking about, "The old slave just thinks that this food box is weird, so he comes to tell him!" ”

"Mom has a heart!" Jiang Yashuang has always been very polite to his wife's marriage, especially Zhou's mother and grandson, the servants who have accompanied his wife through hardships, and bowed slightly at the moment, "Please also ask my mother to pack the things as they are and send them back to the eighth aunt." Let's just say that this food is not suitable for Lan Lan, and the small kitchen here is changing ways to cook all day long, and Lan Lan doesn't want to eat anything from other places. ”

Zhou's mother took the order and left, and Jiang Yashuang didn't bother to talk about the experience in the palace, and asked his wife: "Is this the first time, or how many times?" ”

"When I was in front of my grandmother today, my eighth aunt asked to see her, but my grandmother told me that I didn't want to pay attention to it, so my grandmother stopped her." Qiu Yulan spread his hands, "I don't want to chase the food box over!" ”

"The predecessor of Shazhou Assassin has real skills, otherwise he would not have guarded Western Xinjiang for so many years without incident!" Jiang Yashuang's face was ugly, "After the initial situation was cold, I didn't approve of replacing him immediately, because he had been in Shazhou for so many years, he had managed Shazhou in an orderly manner, and he was familiar with the situation in Shazhou, so he should also take the attraction as the top - the Huang family insisted on letting the eighth uncle come forward and replace the assassin with Huang Si...... If Huang Si does a good job, then there is nothing to say, since he can't do it well, why should he not be punished?! Co-promoted him, he came to punish him to avoid? How can there be such a good thing! ”

No wonder there was anger in Jiang Yashuang's tone, if Huang Si didn't replace the previous Shazhou Thorn History, with that Thorn Shi's deep roots in Shazhou, maybe he could stop the tragedy of Jiang Qizheng and his party?

Qiu Yulan's heart moved: "You said that the position of Shazhou Assassin was actively sought by the Huang family for Huang Si?" For this reason, the original history of thorns was driven away? In the battle between the Zhenxi Army, the Huang family should not be so confused that they can't see this clearly, right? Whose side is the eighth uncle on? ”

Jiang Yashuang snorted: "Under the guise of the idea that both sides are competing to curry favor and then have strange goods!" Now that you think about it, begging for mercy? I won't say anything for the sake of the elders, but after a while, my mother will come back, and let them go to my mother and tell them! ”

mentioned her unimpressed mother, Jiang Yashuang also had some longing in her eyes, "They all say that my mother is amazing, and I don't know how she will seek justice for the eighteenth sister after returning to Beijing?" ”

Qiu Yulan was about to answer, but Jiang Yashuang's expression darkened, "It's a pity that my mother has not been in Beijing before!" Otherwise, the eighteenth sister has a mother who can speak her heart, and she may not leave her nephew to travel away because of Ah Xing's prodding...... The child still has no name, and there is no mother! ”

"Actually, although the days have passed, maybe the eighteenth sister is okay? Didn't you never confirm it? Qiu Yulan said something that he didn't believe, but he didn't know that it was a prophecy!

The husband and wife were silent for a while, and then Qiu Yulan tentatively asked about her husband's entry into the palace.

Jiang Yashuang said lightly: "There have been a lot of things in the palace recently, and the fourth aunt didn't come over to forget." This will have Yi Zhi to go to the Lian family. ”

He also said, "I met Your Majesty when I left the palace, and Your Majesty also asked about Cousin Wang, so that the Lian family doesn't have to worry, the royal family knows this matter, and they can't be wronged by Cousin Wang." ”

Qiu Yulan was not familiar with the emperor and had no interest in him, so he didn't ask this, but said, "That's good." ”

As he was talking, the servant suddenly came in and said, "The sixth young lady and the fourteenth young lady are here, saying that they have something important to tell the prince and the young lady!" ”

The husband and wife were stunned for a moment when they heard this, then they came to their senses and glanced at each other: "Is it because of Cousin Wang?" ”

"I guess it's here to explain!" Jiang Yashuang said excitedly, "I'm a little tired after a trip to the palace, and I'm impatient to see my two sisters-in-law!" Would you like to receive it alone? ”

What does it matter? Qiu Yulan was more worried about his body, reached out and touched his forehead, and said worriedly: "Don't be tired, right?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Yashuang glanced meaningfully in the direction of the flower hall, "It's just that I don't want to see them now." ”

After a pause, he said, "If they explain Cousin Wang's matter, you should do it, anyway, I won't go out, I don't recognize it!" ”

Qiu Lulan noticed that he seemed to be using Wang Qingqian's matter to do something, so he didn't want to meet Shi Shi and Shui Jin, but this was not the time to ask carefully, so he nodded and went out.

In the room, Jiang Yashuang pondered for a moment, stood up, walked to the study, took out a special letterhead from the dark compartment, and began to write seriously......
