Chapter 417 of the list of fateful chapters is difficult to leave home

Old Madam Xue stood up and walked a few steps with the Empress Dowager's newly given crutches, and suddenly fell down as soon as her body became weak.

Mother Li exclaimed, and Xue Mingzhe, who was holding the wine glass, came back to his senses, dropped the wine glass and rushed forward to see the old lady.

The guests present were startled, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound of dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers.

Rong Hua carried the old lady to the room next to the flower hall with a few hands and feet, and the master and subordinates were suddenly busy.

The old lady comforted her a little, and Mrs. Xue remembered to ask Mother Li, "What's wrong?" ”

Mother Li stopped talking, looked at the old lady on the bed, and then said in a low voice: "The third master is going to join the army, and he has already made trouble in the front hall." ”

Mrs. Xue's eyes widened, and the second wife's face was ugly for a moment.

As soon as Mother Li's voice fell, the old lady said weakly: "Go to the front and call Ming Li to me, I want to ask him what he is going to do."

Xue Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the front to call Xue Mingli.

Rong Hua discussed Mrs. Xue, "The guests are still there, and my sister-in-law and I will go out to take care of it." ”

Mrs. Xue nodded, she couldn't neglect the guests.

The widow Hua and the Qian family sent the guests away one after another, the Xue family was at peace again, and the people were busy cleaning up the mess, and when Xue Mingrui sent the guests out of the front hall, the Xue family gathered in the old lady's room.

Xue Mingli knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the old lady, "Grandmother, your grandson's unfilial piety has made you angry again." ”

Xue Chongyi's eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to step forward and beat Xue Mingli hard.

The old lady's voice was low, "Mingli, is it true that you said that you want to go to Congrong?" ”

Xue Mingli raised his head and showed a determined light in his eyes, "The man should have been aiming to serve the country, and his grandson also wanted to serve the imperial court." ”

"You don't have to go to Congrong to serve the imperial court, even if you can't do it in the guard yamen"

You can also ask someone to find a way to find another official position for you," the second wife wanted Xue Mingli to dispel this idea, and she hurriedly spoke regardless of others, "Do you know how dangerous the frontier is?" If something goes wrong with you, how can I live? ”

The second wife began to cry and cry.

Xue Mingli didn't mean to back down, "I don't know how many noble children come from Rong every year, and I can get it if others go." ”

Xue Mingli doesn't seem to care about anything on weekdays, and even Rong Hua didn't expect Xue Mingli to want to go to Congrong. And judging from the current situation, Xue Mingli is not just talking.

Rong Hua looked at the old lady, the old lady's face was serious and deep, and the old lady thought the same way. Rong Hua's gaze moved to Xue Mingrui again, "Xue Mingrui frowned slightly.

Xue Chongyi and his wife didn't pay attention to Xue Mingli's changes, but they just wanted to teach Xue Mingli a lesson and let Xue Mingli wake up. Ren Jingchu was already speechless in shock.

"You unfilial son" The second wife pointed at Xue Mingli with her finger, looking a little crazy,

"Dispel this idea as soon as possible, otherwise you will go to Congrong with your front foot, and I will hang myself in the house with my back foot."

If it is usually the second wife's coercion, it is still useful. Xue Mingli had already broken down after jumping off the city wall, and he finally found a life-saving straw that could save face, how could he let it go.

Xue Mingli gritted his teeth and puffed up his chest, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both" If the child can't come back, "The father and mother will not raise this son." ”

"What are these words" Xue Chongyi couldn't help but be angry anymore, "In that case, I'll kill you, an unfilial son, now." Saying that, Xue Chongyi was going to find a stick.

Xue Chongyi beat Xue Mingli at this time, which is equivalent to making Xue Mingli lose face in front of his family, "I'm afraid that the result will be worse." As soon as Rong Hua thought of this, Xue Mingrui had already gotten up to stop Xue Chongyi, "Second uncle, don't worry, this matter is still discussed and discussed." ”

Xue Chongyi's eyes were already red, how could he listen to the persuasion of others, "What is there to say, this is what came to ask for accounts, kill him, and our whole family can be clean." ”

As soon as Xue Chongyi's words fell, Old Madam Xue said sharply: "Don't beat me to death in front of me,

Doesn't make it? A son like you is filial. ”

Xue Chongyi hurriedly knelt down, "Mother, my son is also so angry that he has no choice, only blame his mother for being too arrogant and indulgent to have today's scourge." ”

The old lady sneered, "You husband and wife don't have to say such things to me, today's incident has nothing to do with your husband and wife." ”

Xue Chongyi's voice was hoarse and suddenly he was speechless, and the second wife was also busy kneeling on the ground.

They can't watch the family in the second room being punished, Rong Hua looked at Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue is not good at staying on this kind of occasion, and she has long wanted to leave, Rong Hua helped Mrs. Xue out of the inner room, the fourth master and the fourth wife also followed Mrs. Xue out of the door, everyone left one after another, and the third wife was not good at staying in the house, so she had to go out with the third master.

Only the old lady, Xue Chongyi, the second wife, Xue Mingli and Xue Mingrui were left in the house.

The old lady asked Xue Chongyi, the second wife, and Xue Mingli to stand up.

Xue Mingli was scolded by Xue Chongyi and the second wife for a while, his face became even more ugly, and he sat there with his head bent over and completely devoid of energy. After a long time, he mustered up the courage to raise his head and speak, his eyes were still unwavering, "Grandmother, it's not a momentary effort, it's really already thought about it, and if you are lucky enough to make a meritorious service, it can be regarded as winning glory for the Xue family." ”

"Do you think anyone can make meritorious contributions in the frontier, do you know how your second brother practiced riding and archery since he was a child? If you have half the ability of your brother, I don't have to worry about it. Your second brother is dead in the frontier, not to mention you, the court asked your father-in-law to go to the northwest, and your father-in-law repeatedly asked for his resignation, you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and you don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you want to go to the northwest. Xue Chongyi scolded again, "It's just that you spend all day drinking and messing around outside, but now that you have lost the face of the Xue family, you still refuse to stop." ”

Xue Mingli had no words to defend, but he refused to change his words.

The old lady looked at Xue Chongyi and the second wife expressionlessly, "You go down first, let us talk." The second wife squeezed her eyebrows, and Xue Chongyi was unwilling to leave.

The old lady stared at Xue Chongyi with sharp eyes, and Xue Chongyi and the second wife retreated.

Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, the second lady grabbed Xue Chongyi, "The master will listen to his mother and Mingrui?" In case he agrees to Mingli to go to Congrong, what is the master going to do? Xue Mingli's face was gloomy.

The second wife grabbed Xue Chongyi and didn't let go, "Tell me what to do?" Xue Chongyi shook off the second wife's hand, "He wants to go to the frontier himself, can I still break his legs?" Now that the brand has been handed over to the Ministry of War, it is not certain whether someone can find someone to take out the name brand from it, so what's the use of saying this now. ”

The second wife couldn't think of any other ideas, so she was stunned all of a sudden.

The old lady in the house talked to Xue Mingrui, "Do you think your third brother can go to the northwest?" ”

Xue Mingli was shocked, and his eyes were tightly abandoned to Xue Mingrui.

"In the bitter cold land of the northwest, the third brother should also think about it, once the name is reported from the military department, there is no reason to regret it." Unlike Xue Chongyi and his wife, Xue Mingrui's voice was softer than usual.

Xue Mingli's eyes lit up, "Second brother, I have really thought about it, I naturally know that handing over the name post is not a trivial matter when I serve in the imperial court, so I entrusted someone to go to the military department as a guarantee." "The Great Zhou Dynasty has always had the practice of honoring nobles and Shizun's children to volunteer to serve in the frontier.

Xue Mingrui pondered for a moment, "I can find someone to suppress the name of the Ministry of War for three days, and the third brother will think about it clearly, if I really want to go, I can't suppress it." Xue Mingli's dead face suddenly showed a little relaxation.

The old lady looked at Xue Mingli's expression in her eyes, "Just according to what your second brother said, you go back and think about it for a few days before making a decision." Xue Mingrui soon returned to the South Courtyard.

Rong Hua had already made some sobering soup for Xue Mingrui to drink.

Xue Mingrui changed into a dark blue cocoon silk robe and sat on the soft couch to watch Rong Hua do needlework.

Rong Hua stopped what he was doing and raised his head to look at Xue Mingrui.

"You do yours." Xue Mingrui sat beside Rong Hua and watched Rong Hua's white hands come and go.

Looking at her like this, he inexplicably settled down, and his thinking became clearer, the second uncle was attached to Prince Zhuang, and Ming Li married Ren's daughter as his wife, Prince Zhuang was inevitably implicated in the loss of power Ming Li, and Ming Li's departure from the capital is not necessarily a bad thing.

Should you let enough Mingli go to the northwest or keep Xue Mingli in Beijing, no matter how clearly you think about this matter, everything has variables, and if you don't get it right, there will be mistakes. "Now it seems that grandmother prefers to let Mingli go to the northwest," Rong Hua said slowly, "Otherwise, I would have helped my second uncle speak in the morning." ”

Xue Mingrui nodded, "Grandmother left me and Mingli alone. Rong Hua raised his eyes, it stands to reason that this matter should be decided by the second master, but now the old lady has intervened so much, "Actually, think about it, it is a good thing for the third brother to leave the capital, but the northwest is too dangerous." ”

"You don't have to be a pawn to go to the northwest, otherwise my grandmother won't wait for me to speak."

The light jumped, and Xue Mingrui stretched out his hand to caress Ronghua's supple green silk. Rong Hua took off the hair ornament on his head, leaving only a long hairpin to fix the bun, Xue Mingrui touched it like this, and the bun fell scattered, and two locks of green silk fell on the back of Xue Mingrui's hand.

The loose bun is lazy and warm.

"Master Hou is worried that the northwest is too far away, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of the third brother for a while. Now it's the second uncle who helps the third brother to make the decision, so he will be upset. ”

Xue Mingrui said: "The third brother grew up in the capital since he was a child, and even if he goes out of Beijing, he will accompany him by car" is not in his sight, which is always reassuring, "But since the third brother has already married a wife, he should also go out to experience the experience." ”

Rong Hua put down the needle and thread in his hand and cut the lantern with his own hands, "Whether you go to the northwest or stay in Beijing depends on the third brother's own will, if the third brother makes up his mind, no matter who can't stop it." "If it's just an impulse to regret it halfway, others can't help," can Master Hou help me talk about delaying for a few days? ”

Xue Mingrui raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I have already told my grandmother to help delay it for three days, so that the third brother can think about it." "There is one more thing to say to Master Hou," Rong Hua handed the tea to Xue Mingrui, "Concubine Jing's mother, Li, went to Chen's mother's house. ”

Xue Mingli is leaving, what should you do Ren Jingchu.!!
