Chapter 394: On the side of the sickbed, the turmoil is brewing
In August, the Son of Heaven officially issued an edict to resume the imperial examination, because Zhu Qian's head was still hanging high on the bamboo pole of the city gate, the cabinet and Zhongshu provincial officials had already passed this decree, and they seconded it one after another.
And Qingzhou Wei Guanglu received the threatening and bitter reprimanded edict from the Son of Heaven, and he no longer dared to disobey the holy will, and he blamed himself, saying that he was too old and overwhelmed by the responsibility, but he recommended his eldest son to serve the country.
Yu Feng listened to the Son of Heaven mention this matter quite complacently, thinking that the foreign family still did not reply to him with a word, he was really a little helpless, this Liang Zi is over, I don't know how long it will take for his grandfather to be angry, the Wei family is his mother clan in the end, his mother died early, Yu Feng really does not want to be estranged from the Wei family in his heart.
However, Su Yi was very much looking forward to the "first family", looking forward to not knowing what kind of character Wei Yuren was, and before they met, he was already admired, chattering endlessly in Yu Feng's mouth, forcing Yu Feng to admit that he didn't know anything about his uncle, Su Yi was a little embarrassed, knocked on his palm with a folding fan, and searched for words to comfort: "Alas, the two families are far apart, and the Wei family is upright and accustomed, so it is inevitable that he does not like to socialize...... This time, since he was edicted to enter Beijing, he will slowly become acquainted, so is there blood kinship...... Anyway, why is Jing Yatou's chess hand so powerful, even I lost to her...... The ghost girl doesn't let some elders, even for the sake of chess, it's not good for me to lose so ugly. ”
In the Guogong Mansion, Huang's since the illness in mid-July, lingering in bed for a month, even the heart and liver Suxiong went to Jizhou and didn't have the energy to send a ride, but the new aunt Ji Xue is a person who understands the rules, serving in front of her bed every day, impeccable words and deeds, respectful and careful, even a high-spirited and high-spirited Aunt Xue to pinch Aunt Xue's handle is finally tired, only Aunt Xue as air, but Huang is a person in the bureau, when he sees Aunt Xue is such a bright and fresh, just when her husband's pet concubine is standing by the bedside, she can't help but be depressed, I couldn't stop coughing for a month.
Because of Song's stuffy stick, Huang was uneasy, and he didn't dare to give Huang Tao a letter, and he was sick for more than half a month, and Jiang learned the news - he still went to another house for a banquet, but he didn't see Huang, he only looked at Dong Yin, and after asking, he learned that his sister was sick and even handed over the middle feed, and he came to visit in a hurry this day.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a beautiful woman with her hair coiled on her knees in front of the bed, looking at it, Jiang thought it was a virtuous sister, and took the initiative to propose a room to Wei Guogong, and he didn't care, and said flattering words: "Yo, this person looks at the water spirit, but it doesn't seem to be the girl in the sister's yard?" I saw you for the first time, and I didn't prepare a meeting gift, although this reamed silk bracelet is not valuable, the girl should not dislike it. "This is the whole of Huang's virtuous reputation.
Aunt Xue prostrate on the ground to receive the reward, and the corners of Mama Lan's lips twitched when she saw it, and couldn't help but interject: "Uncle doesn't know, Aunt Xue is the first person to be face-saving around Aunt Cui in the past, and she is the most considerate and courteous, so she is in line with the mind of Grandpa Guo, she is indeed a sensible person, these days Mrs. is not feeling well, Grandpa Guo has worked a lot to wait for Aunt Xue, if she is replaced by a frivolous one, she will not tilt her tail to the sky, but Aunt Xue still comes to Mrs. Cui's bed every day to serve the sick, Mrs. is virtuous, for fear of tiring her, but she can't be persuaded to persuade her." ”
These words have rich meanings, and the Jiang family naturally understands them - hey, this relationship is not something that the sister is willing to lift, but it seems to be Wei Guogong's own idea, my uncle is not such a disorderly character, but he is different from this cheap maid, the already vain enthusiasm on his face suddenly disappeared, and suddenly thought of the thing he just carried on his body, and his eyebrows moved: "It turned out to be Aunt Xue, get up quickly, I have something to say to your wife, you go...... Guarding the decoction of medicine for Mrs., Mama, take your aunt down, the medicinal soup is a big deal, and you can rest assured if your aunt looks at it. ”
Mama Lan was surprised, how could this important thing at the entrance be handed over to this fox? But seeing that Huang didn't say anything, he had to accept the order and take Aunt Xue down.
"Sister-in-law can't act recklessly, I'm in a bad situation right now, and I can't move this one for the time being." The Huang family knew about the Jiang family's calculations, propped himself up, sat up, and slowly talked about Mama Song's matter, and the people of the Guogong Mansion were on guard against her.
When Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but lower his voice and complained: "Mrs. Tai didn't believe you, why didn't my uncle remember so many years, what a big deal is this, then the Song family used to be trusted by Mrs. Tai, and it is reasonable for you to take care of it, I think it seems to be for this cheap girl, my uncle is deliberately picking on the girl's fault, and the five girls are also conscienceless, what have you been like to their brothers and sisters over the years?" Just because of this, she dares to disrespect you? Phew, the white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, the seed of the old godly woman's own daughter, really none of them are good. "Completely ignore the Huang siblings' attempt to assassinate Yi Jing.
Huang felt that this was very appropriate, and he was still accustomed to saying virtuous words: "I don't blame Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo, this matter is indeed my negligence, although I know that the Song family is ruthless, and the plan is also big, and I think that I want her granddaughter to become a concubine of the clan, but I don't know that she actually stopped in time ...... "didn't explain the "romantic affair" of the old prince."
She knew that although the Jiang family and the second brother were of the same heart, they were not from a high background, and they didn't care about their knowledge, and they lacked a guard on their mouths. At this juncture, it's better not to add to the chaos, and the multiple cousins of the Duke of Weiguo, there is no harm to Xiong'er, let alone the overall situation, the eldest princess doesn't know what the idea is, this matter is not easy to publicize, only said: "How do you know that the Song family secretly hates Mrs. Tai, in order to take revenge on the Guogong Mansion, I was almost used by her, and it was good to make trouble, otherwise it will be a hidden danger to Xiong'er in the future, this time the winter rain poisoned the prince, such a sinister thing...... Dongyu is what I recommended to the five girls, she has always been dexterous, why not be on guard? Mrs. Tai and Wei Guogong both doted on her, and almost caused a big disaster, so I should have been punished. ”
"Even so, you can't let your uncle spoil your concubine and kill your wife, right?" Jiang is still resentful: "Even if your second brother knows about this, he doesn't want to see his sister's grievances, so he will listen to me about this matter, and he happened to clean up this, my sister drank this medicine first, and she will have a fever tonight, as long as you ask for a doctor, it is not difficult to find out that she has been calculated!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain vase.
Huang was taken aback: "Why does my sister-in-law carry this?" ”
"It's the medicine that the second master asked for that person, and the sister also knows that there are many strange people and strange people under him, and there are always some rare medicines." Jiang was mysterious, and when he said "that", he raised his eyebrows, looked like he was proud of himself, and said another purpose: "It's nothing, it's just to make people feel hot, poison can't kill people, as long as that cheap maid takes the medicine today, it can't get out of it...... Originally, I took advantage of the opportunity to come over today, but I also wanted to go to Liao's house, my sister didn't know, recently Xiao came to Kyoto, and the cousin-in-law didn't stop, after your second brother heard it, he begged for this medicine, it was to make Xiao's get a water and soil adaptation, and my cousin and sister-in-law also had an excuse to send such a god away. ”
Xiao is Uncle Liao's stepfamily, and later gave birth to two sons, after the death of Master Liao, the family was separated, those two are in the Daimyo's mansion, this time Xiao came to Kyoto, and was picky about the stepson couple, Cousin Liao is a "filial son", and he didn't dare to do anything to Xiao, so he had to use this secret trick, as long as he bought the doctor, he could diagnose the "water and soil adaptation", and sent Xiao back to his son, but Huang's head to ask for a doctor, was not bought, of course, he would diagnose and take the medicine that should not be taken, this medicine is not fatal, but it can make people feel hot and suffer from the crime, It is also in line with Aunt Xue's resentment towards her mother, and the concubine mentality of the waiter taking slight revenge.
The Jiang family is bold, but the Huang family is a frightened bird, and resolutely refuses: "An aunt, why take the risk, this trick is too obvious, today you let her decoct the medicine, the medicine will go wrong, it's not appropriate." Quickly diverted the topic: "How is the relationship between Sanniang and the Yin family, has it been settled?" ”
"There is Mrs. Zhen from the match, Lord Yin is very moved, but Mrs. Yin is still a little hesitant, San Lang is her own son, and is the youngest son, it is said that the talent is very good, seeing that he can enter the imperial examination, of course, the marriage is to be considered, Mrs. Zhen received a bonus of 200,000 taels from her cousin, and it also hinted at the relationship between Mrs. Yin's cousin and her sister-in-law, but in the end, ...... Alas, who let our mother be an aunt, Mrs. Yin was somewhat hesitant, saying that she wanted to meet Hua'er first, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Mrs. Zhen would hold a chrysanthemum banquet, and then the sister would have to attend, and there was no need to show anything, as long as you attended, it showed that we still recognized the Liao family as a foreign family, and the sister was Mrs. Weiguo, which was a big face for the Yin family. ”
Huang pondered for a while, thinking that this is nothing, even if she is not in the palm of her hand, but she should still come forward for social entertainment, this has been sick for a long time, there will inevitably be rumors outside, and autumn is the time when banquets are frequent, the Zhen family is still the princess's mother's house, and there is nothing suspicious about the Guogong Mansion and socializing, the cousin-in-law was invited by the Zhen family, although the Yin family is an official eunuch, and no one can think of anything, the cousin and sister-in-law are cautious people, and will never publicize this relationship, so there is no risk at all, of course, I promised.
As everyone knows, although Cousin Liao and his wife are low-key people, they have raised a very high-spirited daughter, and they have already publicized the fact that she is a blood relative of Mrs. Weiguo to Liao Qing, the second young lady of the Zhen family, and Yijing has also filed a case there.
As she was talking, Mama Lan entered the house again to report that the princess was coming.
Huang hurriedly wanted to get up from the bed, but was slammed by Jiang: "What is this sister, what are you doing, you are a mother, and you are suffering from a disease, but you still pay attention to her daughter?" Today, I will see how big a shelf this white-eyed wolf will be. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the curtain lifted, and Yijing walked in with a smile on his face: "I heard the voice of the second aunt from a distance." ”
Huang complained again and again in his heart, couldn't help but glance at Mama Lan, some complained that she was too late to pass on, Mama Lan was innocent on her face, the princess was coming, the maids were not good at stopping her and waiting for the pass, they all had to come forward to salute, and wait for themselves to see, of course the princess was not far away, it was not good to turn around and report, but she had to come forward to see the salute, the princess was just behind her, who knew that the Jiang family originally spoke in a suppressed voice, and she couldn't even hear her standing in front of the house, but when she heard that the princess was coming, she yelled such a provocative word.
Jiang's because of Liuniang's grievances, she has long been dissatisfied with the love of Yijing and the two mansions, unlike Huang's "love" and Huang Tao's "love", she has never been pretending to Yijing, and then saw Yijing listening to what she just said, and didn't feel embarrassed: "Five girls, don't think I'm straight, although you marry into the clan, your identity is more noble, you can't disrespect your mother, the clan can be placed in the in-laws' house, and you don't have to talk about grade in your own mother's house." ”
It turned out that the Jiang family was cautious, and if he was not angry, he would come out for Juanniang, and he would stab him when he was looking for an opportunity.
Yijing didn't pay attention to her, she had never been close to this second aunt, so she didn't make Huang suspicious, so she stepped forward and saluted, and sat down next to Huang: "I heard that Madame is not well, she should have come to visit, but family affairs are also a little cumbersome......
Before he finished speaking, he was stabbed by the Jiang family again: "Looking at us, we don't know, the palace is in the hands of the general's wife." ”
Huang was helpless, and hurriedly turned around: "Sister-in-law, don't joke about Jing'er, she is a very filial child, and now that she is married, although she is close, she can't run to her mother's house from time to time, and then there is a matter of winter rain, and the old princess is not happy, Jing'er always has me in her heart, and sending Mama Yang is to send medicine and visit." ”
"Yes, my mouth is always like this, and the five girls also know that they will care about me." Jiang snorted lightly: "Madam, how much suffering you have endured over the years to raise the three children of the eldest sister, they are all filial people, and they will definitely remember your goodness." ”
This is really funny, the Weiguo Mansion is so noble, is it possible that several children still rely on the Huang Province to eat and wear and raise? Moreover, as a stepfamily, it should be good to treat the children of the Yuan match, if it is harsh, it is called unkindness and immorality, Yijing grew up next to the eldest princess since she was a child, and she didn't consume any of Huang's energy, and she was almost poisoned by her.
The Jiang family is okay with everything else, this ability to reverse black and white really makes Yijing admire it very much.
