Chapter 236: Meet Mingji Again
The two were in a stalemate, and Ming 'Yin' outside suddenly sighed, and called a name, Zhuo Zhaojie heard it as if it was a "Ming Ji", and hurriedly stopped the entanglement with Ning Shaobi, and asked in a loud voice: "Ming 'Yin', who are you calling?" β
Ming Yin lifted a corner of the curtain and replied: "Lady, the maid seems to have seen Ming Ji again, and she followed a little lady to the 'Chun' Hui 'door'!" β
The normal route from Daming Palace to Jingshanfang is to go out of the palace 'gate' and go all the way to the south, after the light house, Yongchang Erfang will walk along the palace wall of Taiji Palace, turn along the palace wall, go to Zhuque Street and then go south is Jingshanfang, at this time the carriage has just turned a corner, and has not yet gone to Zhuque Street, it is the position where you can see the Zhuque 'gate' of Taiji Palace through the square, this long street, runs through the entire Chang'an City, the west Jinguang, the east 'spring' Hui, is connected to the east and west of Chang'an.
When Zhuo Zhaojie heard that Mingji was following a little lady by his side, he was immediately solemn: "Where is it?!" β
Ning Shaobi's reaction has always been fast, and she immediately raised her voice and called the 'guard' outside the car to listen to the order!
Because of the heat, there are not many people who come out at this time, Ming 'Yin' pointed out the direction, although Ming Ji and his companions were in a hurry, but they were still caught up by the 'attendant' guard with a mount, and they were carried over together - Originally, Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie both felt that most of the people who traveled with Ming Ji were Chen Luojia, and they were afraid that they knew that the queen 'wanted' to eradicate the opponent for the king of Zhending County, and they would not let her go, so they hijacked Ming Ji and fled in a hurry, worried. The guards may not be able to take down Chen Luojia, Ning Shaobi also sent people back to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to move the rescue soldiers, and those who didn't want to go ran out of a stone's throw away, and the previous 'guards' had already brought people over.
Naturally, it is not Chen Luojia who is with Mingji, but she is a thin and small lady, looking at the outfit, she should be from a poor background, and her appearance is even a little ugly.
Mingji is far from the last time she met in early autumn and Liqiu, the life described by Zhuo Zhaoshu is quite affluent and very far away, she is wearing a coarse cloth dress, only a gilded hairpin on her hair, and a pair of 'jade' stone pendants with very poor 'color' on her ears, which looks much worse than everyone's servants.
Seeing Zhuo Zhaojie, Ming Jiwei's tears fell first, choked and kowtowed: "Lady! β
Zhuo Zhaojie's mood was also very complicated, and said, "Where are you going?" Who is this person next to you? β
Mingji choked up and said, "Go back to ...... Back to the lady's words, I ...... The maid wants to go to Chixian, this is ...... It is the maid who has now bought the maid, whose name is good. β
"You're going to Chixian?" Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "Didn't you follow the hemp folding?" He sent you to Chixian? β
Mingji's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "He...... Now he has to concentrate on his studies, so that the servant does not disturb. After a pause, he added, "The handmaid is in his hand...... There's no money left...... Chang'an objects are too expensive, the maid wants to ...... It's better to live in the next place to save a little, the good is from Chixian, she said that the price of Chixian is much cheaper. β
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at her for a moment and said, "You are a single 'girl', and there is no one to take refuge in Chixian, so it's better to go back to the Hou Mansion with me first." β
Mingji bit his lip: "Son...... Servant ......" She seemed to be a little at a loss, Zhuo Zhaojie raised his chin and said: "It's always you who serve me, now that it's difficult, I should pull you along, today I have something to do, you go back with me first, and when you see your mother, you will give you a good life." β
ββ¦β¦ Be. When Mingji heard this, he had to respond softly.
This Mingji and Chen Luojia are not lightly involved, neither Zhuo Zhaojie nor Ning Shaobi will let go, and now they want to take her back to the Minping Marquis Mansion, but they are not at ease to arrange her and the good girl on the wheel, so they let them follow the carriage, but fortunately, the carriage was not fast.
Back in the car, Zhuo Zhaojie also forgot to be angry with Ning Shaobi, and talked about Mingji: "She is going to Chixian, is it Ma Zhishu, or Chen Luojia?" β
"Someone on both sides did it last night." Ning Shaobi shook her head and said, "I think she heard the news of Ma Zhe's violent death, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she went to Chixian to take refuge." Then he asked, "What are you going to do with this 'woman'?" β
"Go back and ask your mother." Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "After all, she is the one who has served me for many years, and I will spare her as much as I can, but I don't know how much effort Chen Luojia made when she infiltrated the You family to teach my cousin, I'm afraid my eldest uncle won't agree to let him go." β
Ning Shaobi said: "Mother-in-law is 'shrewd', you listen to your mother-in-law." β
The two of them discussed this matter for a few words, ate some jelly cheese and the like, and the carriage entered Jingshanfang and stopped in front of the 'gate' of the Hou Mansion.
Ning Shaobi naturally accompanied Zhuo Zhaojie into the house, and Zhuo Zhaojie ordered Ming to 'Yin' to take people to the fourth room first to 'hand' over to Aunt Mao, and advised: "Tell Aunt Mao that this is Mingji." β
Ming 'groaned' and agreed, and led Mingji and the good man to go.
At this time, everyone in the Zhuo family was gathering in the upper room, Chenguang was already noon, and I don't know if they had eaten, all in all, when Ning Shaobi accompanied Zhuo Zhaojie in, the room was similar to when Zhuo Zhaojie left, except that Zhuo Xiaoli was not there, maybe he was waiting for Minping Hou in the inner room.
Shen saw that Zhuo Zhaojie was sent back by Ning Shaobi, but his 'daughter' Zhuo Fangdian and Zhuo Fangdian's handmaid 'daughter' were nowhere to be seen, and his face suddenly changed, and he didn't care about Ning Shaobi's presence, so he asked, "Why did you come back alone?" Where's your little aunt? β
Zhuo Zhaojie got Ning Shaobi's words, and the queen is now eager to push Min Pinghou to the head of the fifth room because of his anger, so she naturally replied boldly with confidence: "What the little aunt did yesterday was found out, and the queen was very angry, and now she is detained in the palace by the mother." β
"What?!" Not only the Shen family, but the rest of the Zhuo family were also shocked when they heard this, they didn't know what Zhuo Fangdian had done, so that the queen hurriedly sent someone to summon her, and now she was directly detained in the palace - don't it be a big disaster that affects the entire Zhuo family?
Shen was particularly furious: "Nonsense! You must have slandered your little aunt! β
"Old Madam Shen is saying that the queen is confused?" Ning Shaobi had to bargain for his fiancΓ©e everywhere in front of the queen, but he didn't pay attention to Shen at all, and he was charged with contempt for the queen when he opened his mouth, "Look at this world, are you old and confused?" β
Shen was worried about the 'daughter', and subconsciously blurted out, only to feel that he had lost his mouth, and had been mercilessly pushed back by Ning Shaobi, she was also a member of Ning Shaobi's grandmother's generation, even if Ning Yaobi's status was noble, but he was so refuted in public, in the end, he was disgraced, and his heart was furious, but although Ning Yaobi's words were mean, but the charges were not small, she could only endure and say: "It's me who lost my words, I don't have any disrespect for the queen, it's just that my son has always been humble and courteous, and the most well-behaved, But how could he offend the queen? Is there some misunderstanding in this? β
When she said this, she looked at Zhuo Zhaojie coldly, obviously suspecting that Zhuo Zhaojie had instigated or planted it, so that Zhuo Fangdian was questioned by the queen.
Zhuo Zhaojie was stared at by her, naturally understood what she meant, snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly: "If I could, I naturally wanted to pit your mother and son, but now the one who wants to pit you is planning to drag the two Hou mansions into the water, that person's handwriting, what if you know it?" β
Ning Shaobi said lazily: "I don't know if Ling Ai is well-behaved and knows the rites of this world, but Ling Lang is afraid that a big disaster is coming!" β
Shen was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Fangya, but looked at Zhuo Fangchun, Zhuo Xiaowen and Zhuo Fangli who were present suspiciously, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask what the prince said?" β
"Because the queen mother already knew about Ling Lang's favorite concubine and killing his wife, she was very angry in the Penglai Palace." Ning Shaobi snorted slightly, "Old Madam Shen doesn't have to look at Zhaojie, this matter has nothing to do with her, she is still affected by Ling Ai Linglang today, and has been kneeling in the Penglai Hall for a long time, if it weren't for the palace people to tell the son of the world who was just in the Zichen Hall to watch the saint and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this son dragged the king of Zhending over to save the scene, and I don't know how long the fiancΓ©e of the son of the world will be affected!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie secretly admired Ning Shaobi in his heart for being so cunning, his words were true, but he picked himself cleanly, as if the words that reminded Empress Chunyu to count the matter of Min Pinghou being so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on Zhuo Fangya's head were not what he said at all!
And when he said this, he concealed the most important scene, that is, Empress Chunyu has now determined that Minpinghou's illness was caused by Zhuo Fangya, and Zhuo Fangya was so disrespectful to his wife and disobedient, it was because the stepfamily of the Shen family did not teach it well......
These Shen family don't know, but she knows very well that the queen of Chunyu hates the concubine and destroys the wife, even if it is an ordinary official, the queen will try her best to find a fault, in the early years of this dynasty, some people expect the saint to interfere, and a number of officials who want to be honest and correct the husband finally ended up with "never hired", so that later generations no longer dare to provoke the queen at this point, because the queen's position is as stable as a mountain, more subordinates will praise the queen's move as "Ming Zheng etiquette, Kuang Fu orthodoxy", and wrote many praises of virtue.
Now in the whole Da Liang, no one will have any objection to the queen's cooking of the concubine and the wife destroyer, more of it is a stone.
Especially the current Yanchang County King faction.
In addition to the Marquis of Minping, he served as the crown prince Zhan Shi, and also served as the 'servant' of the household department, and the Marquis of Dunyuan also served as the 'servant' of the Ministry of Officials...... The title is either taken away, if it is not taken, in the end, it can only be inherited by the descendants of each family, but the official positions are different, these are all real power to be lacking, staring here, not to mention the faction of the king of Zhending?
Shen's heart was cold, and she almost immediately thought that it was the Gao family who had made a 'yin' hand!
Man Chang'an knows that the queen's mother hates the person who spoils the concubine and destroys the wife, and even can't see the official concubine, the Gao family was wronged in the Zhuo family, and she was so angry that she took Zhuo Zhaobao back to her mother's house, she is not an ordinary people's 'daughter', it is difficult to meet the queen, the prime minister's 'daughter', although it is not possible to meet Feng Yan at any time, but there will always be a chance.
For this, the Shen family frequently ordered Aunt Shen to run to the Gao family, I don't know how many good things to say, and gave a large amount of 'private' room, and later, although the Gao family did not agree to return to the Zhuo family, revealing the obvious meaning of reconciliation, but in the end, it was also read on the attitude of the Shen family and the gift of compensation, and promised not to tell the queen about the matter, and only said that it was to go back to her mother's house to spend the summer - is it summer now?
Otherwise, how can the Gao family say that the 'door' is not inferior to the 'color' of the Zhuo family's high 'door' and the 'daughter', if she wants to reconcile, the queen can't hear it?
These days, the palace has been very calm, and any news is related to the two county kings, and it has never been related to Zhuo Fangya, the Shen family knows that the Gao family kept the promise, and they are relieved, but they didn't expect it to be so suddenly exposed - could it be that the Gao family's promise at that time was just to paralyze themselves, but they were waiting for the opportunity with a sense of revenge?
This morning, Zhuo Fangya brought the 'Hua' family to the upper room with the intention of receiving the gift of the new 'woman', but Shen felt that since the Gao family agreed to him, he should not regret it, and the Zhuo family did not drive her away at the beginning, she ran back to her parents' house by herself, and it would be good for her mother-in-law not to scold the Gao family for teaching the 'woman' without a way, could it be that the Gao family was thinking about and leaving while still watching Zhuo Fangya not be allowed to raise the concubine 'servant'?!
Shen's mind was racing, and he suddenly went through the subordinates in the fifth room who might have been bought by the Gao family, and suddenly felt that the Gao family had decided to fall to the side of the king of Zhending County, so he offered this matter to the queen to provoke trouble, and suddenly he was shocked - even if the queen was angry with Zhuo Fangya, how could she detain Zhuo Fangdian and ask for guilt? Does the queen want to use the topic to play?!
She was stunned here, although Zhuo Fangchun and the others didn't care about the life or death of Zhuo Fangya and Zhuo Fangdian, they couldn't help but care about the entire Minping Marquis Mansion, and asked cautiously at the moment: "Shizi, I don't know if the queen mother detained her sister, but it was for the sake of her brother?" β
Ning Yaobi was polite to Zhuo Fangchun, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle doesn't need to be so polite, just call my name or rank." "It's not." β
Shen hurriedly asked, "For what?" β
"Because Ling Ai instigated the four ladies of the Shi family to take advantage of the busy banquet yesterday, they 'wanted' to murder the Ou family lady with goose gizzard palms, but they mistakenly recognized Mu Sanniang, which has been clearly detected by the queen." Ning Shaobi said with a smile, "Yesterday, Mrs. Su asked about this matter overnight, and early this morning and early this morning, she took Shi Siniang into the palace to ask for guilt, Ling Ai is the first offender, and Niangniang naturally wants to detain her in the palace!" β
The Shen clan and the princes have been fighting wits until now, and they are already very tired, and when they heard this, their eyes were dark, but they fainted straightforwardly!
"I haven't said anything yet." Seeing Shen fainting, except for Zhuo Fangya who hurriedly stepped forward to help, the rest of the people seemed to be shocked by Ning Shaobi's words, but Ning Shaobi also looked 'looking' and said in a very regretful tone, "Ling Ai 'private' through Hanlin Chen Zirui, and Chen Zirui has already 'exchanged' Geng stickers with the Ou family lady, this is the reason why Ling Ai murdered the Ou family's lady...... All in all, this matter has already alarmed the saints! β
Hearing the last sentence, the Zhuo family members present except for Zhuo Zhaojie all changed their faces!
