Chapter 181: In a Different Way
Chapter 181 is different
"- The family is very concerned about you, you have to take care of your health. The big husband can stretch and contract, don't lose his temper with those guards. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to punish a villain. They are all people who do what they are told, and when you lose your temper, you can neither change the status quo, but also drink others to stiffen the relationship. You've always been good at dealing with people, and if you don't talk about it, I won't talk about it. The weather in Hachihe is cold, and it is normal to live under someone else's roof, and there is less charcoal and less quilts. It's better to help those guards run more errands and cool off—"
"Can you write like that?" The eldest lady listened to the sweat on her forehead.
"Isn't it too wordy?" Shen Muqing looked at the stack of papers in his hand, "Xiao Sa's temperament is a little stubborn—I'm really worried that he won't be able to stand the humiliation of those guards—"
"Well, let's write it like this!" "I haven't written to him either—you have written to him, and you can't be wrong." ”
Shen Muqing was embarrassed.
When did you write to him?
She argued, "I didn't—"
The eldest lady did not wait for her words to finish, but said: "I have made him a close-fitting shoulder, made of high-quality camel hair, light and warm, and does not look bloated on the body—no one can see it." ”
Shen Muqing nodded, and added at the back of the letter: "-I made you a dark coarse cloth jacket," she looked up at the eldest lady, "Use coarse cloth to make it, the more ordinary the better." ”
"It's made of coarse cloth," said the eldest lady, "and how dare I let him be eye-catching there!" ”
"Then what else do you have to bring, I'll write them together!"
The eldest lady muttered: "-I also made him a bunch of cashmere knee guards, and some clothes made of Jiangnan tribute satin, and gold hostas——"
Shen Muqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but put pen to paper.
The eldest lady explained: "When things are sent over, they will inevitably be turned over. Do some of the good and the bad, just ask him to wear these two on his body. ”
Shen Muqing felt that the eldest lady's scruples were reasonable, and lowered his head and continued to write: "You are smart, remember to put the dark shoulders and knee pads on your hands——"
"Big lady," it was Ginkgo's voice outside, "Big Master is here!" ”
The eldest lady was stunned.
Shen Muqing, who was writing the letter, was also a little surprised. She looked at the eldest lady and found that her expression was a little dull.
The ginkgo outside didn't wait for a reply, and hesitated: "I told the eldest lord that you have something, but the eldest lord he-"
The eldest lady came back to her senses when she heard this, and the expression on her face was faint: "Let the eldest lady wait in the hall." ”
Ginkgo biloba went away.
The eldest lady looked at Shen Muqing apologetically: "I don't know what he's here for?" You sit in the house, and I'll send him back. ”
Listening to that tone, I looked very impatient.
When the husband and wife reach this level, it is also a little speechless!
Shen Muqing thought about it, nodded hurriedly, stood up and sent the eldest lady out.
"Sit down, sit down, it's cold on the ground!" The eldest lady pressed her against the kang, smiled at her, and went to the hall.
She was the only one left in the room, quiet. The hall and the bedroom were separated by a fan, and the movement in the hall reached her ears clearly.
"Uncle, please drink tea!"
The voice of the eldest lady was followed by the sound of a gentle touch of porcelain.
"Uncle came to me, but what's the matter?" Very polite tone.
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "I went to the fourth child." The meaning of the fourth child coincides with mine. The voice was low and mellow, with a little anxiety, "Whoever sits in that position is afraid that he doesn't want to come down, expecting to save the emperor today, it's a fool's dream." ”
The person who spoke should be Xiao Zhao.
Shen Mu Qingsi was attached, and he heard the eldest lady say softly: "What does the old man mean?" ”
Her voice was a little tense, and she heard some tentative flavors.
Shen Muqing's heart also hung up.
How would Xiao Sa's father answer?
What decision will he make about this son who has lost power?
Shen Muqing's hands clenched into fists, and she tiptoed to the door curtain, gently opened the curtain, and looked out through the curtain.
Her eyes fell on the husband and wife sitting opposite each other in the hall, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
It turns out that Xiao Sa looks like his father - although the years are not forgiving, Xiao Zhao's body is still straight, his eyes are still bright, and there is a kind of compelling majesty of a sword hidden box in his gestures.
"Sa'er's business, you can't let you mess around anymore." His tone was a little cold, "You have to listen to me about this!" ”
"Sir, please speak!" The eldest lady looked at Xiao Zhao with a smile, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, "I'll think about it!" ”
Xiao Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this, he smiled coldly, and said, "Speaking of which, Sa'er has fallen to this point today because of you." ”
The eldest lady didn't say anything, just raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Zhao immediately sneered - at this moment, Xiao Sa, who was a teenager, was alive.
"If you hadn't passed him on to the fourth child, if you hadn't nagged him every time you saw him, asking him to make contributions and become a big husband who would have left a name in history, how could he have gone down the road to the dark-"
"You don't have to see me to settle old scores." The eldest lady interrupted Xiao Zhao's words, "When he was admitted to the martial arts champion, don't you also be happy." If you have anything to say, just say it! ”
"You!" Xiao Zhao's face changed greatly, and he pointed at the eldest lady for a long time, but he still held back his anger and lowered his voice: "I found four top masters on the rivers and lakes, and I will leave for Bahe in the next two days - when the time comes, you will see if there is a suitable person to let him enter the genealogy of the Zheng family - even the side branch concubine can also do it-"
When the eldest lady heard this, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Okay, you Xiao Zhao, my son went to the Zheng family to be a side branch concubine, and your concubine entered the Xiao family's family tree as a concubine-she felt like she was being fried-slowly turned the tea cup in her hand, and the eldest lady said softly: "His business, I won't bother you." I've scraped together a million taels of silver—when the time comes, I'll find a way to redeem him!" ”
"A million taels of silver?" Xiao Zhao stood up with a "Teng" voice when he heard this, "Is this a matter of one million taels of silver?" If a person can redeem it with silver, let alone one million taels, it is two million cars, three million taels, and I will make up all the money by smashing pots and selling iron. Until now, you are still dreaming of your fate, and this also requires your son to earn a fate for you to come back. Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already discussed the matter of Sa'er with my father, and my father also agrees with my opinion - in the name of our Xiao family, we will negotiate with the end fruit, if he releases the person, our Xiao family will send 200,000 taels of silver, salt, silk, porcelain and other items to Yuanmeng every year for five years to offset the ransom, so that it is even more generous than the conditions that were unsuccessful at the beginning - 500,000 taels of silver, and we can't get it from under the nose of the government to Bahe." If you don't agree to release people, let the four masters take the opportunity to save Sa'er. I'm here just to inform you, and you don't have to toss around in Kyoto. I listened to the fourth brother's tone, you sent at least 100,000 taels of silver out during this time - you have this money, it is better to keep it and wait for Sa'er to come back and find a way to buy him some property. ”
The eldest lady panicked.
She glanced towards the bedroom where Shen Muqing was.
"Don't mess around, the Shen family has already promised to help, and said that in a few days, the imperial court will let an adult named Wang Qing from the Ministry of Rites send an envoy to Bahe-"
"What can he do in the little one? That's a fool! The green tendons on Xiao Zhao's sideburns bulged out, "Why did the Shen family help us?" Let me tell you, Xiao Sa is crazy, I am not crazy yet. He wants to marry the Shen family's aunt and grandmother, don't think about it! ”
The eldest lady's face turned red.
She was afraid that Shen Muqing would hear this.
The eldest lady couldn't help but glance at the bedroom curtain again.
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't think? Why do you say he doesn't want to? Why do you care who he marries? He has his own parents, and he is free to be the one who makes his own decisions. Why are you clamoring here? It's funny—"
Xiao Zhao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Zheng Yueniang, don't say anything after you kill me, and now let Xiao Sa marry the daughter of the Shoufu family as a daughter-in-law, so that his son can live by looking at his daughter-in-law's eyes every day - I won't stop you if you want to climb the high branches, but I can't let you sell my son!" ”
The eldest lady was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she pointed at Xiao Zhao and sneered: "I will kill you - isn't it written on the genealogy that you have another son named Xiao Cheng, and you will be killed?" So where did Xiao Cheng come from? ”
"I told you when you married me, I have a concubine named Xiao Cheng." The expression on Xiao Zhao's face was almost like eating people, "What, now it's time to go through old accounts?" What did you do early? ”
"Hosta, ginkgo—" cried the eldest lady in a loud voice, "send off!" ”
Xiao Zhao brushed his sleeves away.
"Wait-" Shen Muqing lifted the curtain and walked out, "Master Xiao, you wait!" I have something to say! ”
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he turned around and saw a girl with a beautiful face and bright eyes standing next to the door curtain of the bedroom.
The eldest lady had already walked over and took Shen Muqing's hand: "Let you see the joke - I didn't want you to know that Sa'er has such an unsightly parent-" As she spoke, Douda's tears fell.
Shen Muqing squeezed the eldest lady's hand tightly and looked at Xiao Zhao with a calm smile: "My name is Shen Muqing, and I have something I want to talk to you about." ”
Xiao Zhao raised his eyebrows, stood in place, and said coldly: "If Shen Muqing has something to say, I still have something!" ”
"You-" The eldest lady was so angry that she rushed over, but was pulled back by Shen Muqing.
"That's right." She said lightly, "As soon as Steward Pang told me that Xiao Sa had disappeared with the emperor, I sent a friend to look for him—but not only was he unwilling to take advantage of the chaos to leave the danger with my friend, but he also gave up the opportunity to come back when he exchanged prisoners. ”
The couple was shocked and said in unison: "How can this be? ”
Shen Muqing nodded, and said solemnly: "After he went to Bahe with the emperor, I asked my friend to bring him a letter - if everything goes well, my friend should come back in the next few days." ”
The faces of the eldest lady and Xiao Zhao were a little cloudy.
Shen Muqing sighed and said, "I know that although the two of you have different methods, they both want to save their son. The problem is that none of us know what is going on in his mind. If Master Xiao agrees, can you wait for two days. ”
