Xie Ning learned of the death of King Wei on the way back to Beijing. August 1 Chinese ≦≤≦.≦

She and King Wei had only met once or twice, and they hadn't said anything. Since last year, King Wei has not come out much, and has been recuperating. This kind of change of seasons is always a hurdle for people who are old and frail. If you survive it, it will most likely be extended for another year.

If you can't make it, you'll ......

King Wei is two generations older than the emperor, and he is a rare person in the clan who has a long life. He is of high seniority, has always been very prestigious, and has been in charge of Zongzheng Temple for many years. So as soon as he went like this, even the emperor changed into plain clothes.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Ning learned the news of King Wei's death.

The emperor didn't want Xie Ning to be sad about this matter, and deliberately interrupted talking to her.

"This time I went out, and I encountered a case on the way."

"The case?"

Shainin immediately became nervous.

"It's not a big deal." The emperor said with a smile: "This case is full of twists and turns. At first, it was a mother-in-law and an uncle, and when they heard the voices of other men in the eldest daughter-in-law's room, they thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was stealing people, so they rushed in and arrested them. The daughter-in-law of that family kept crying out for grievances, saying that she went back to the house to change her clothes, but she didn't know how there was an extra person in the house, and she didn't recognize that person. So the family thought that this man was a thief and sent him to the official office. ”

Xie Ning was also interested, the emperor said so, there must be something to be done in this matter.

"Has the yamen tried it? Is this man a thief? ”

The emperor shook his head with a smile: "This person also shouted injustice when he arrived at the Yamen, saying that the eldest son of the family owed him money and always didn't pay it back, and he really had no choice but to go to that house to get something to pay for the debt he was owed." He also took out an IOU, which was signed and drawn by the eldest son of the family. ”

Xie Ning couldn't help laughing: "This person is really, how easy is it to be a thief?" It's strange to go to someone's house in broad daylight to rummage through things and not get caught. So what happened? ”

She was curious how the yamen would decide on this case.

He said that these two things belong to one friend, and debts belong to debts, and if the people who are owed go to steal and rob, it is also a violation of the law, and this person will be beaten and taken into custody. However, the eldest son of the family owed the debt because he secretly gambled, and he did not repay it within the time limit, so he was sentenced to repay the money immediately, plus the interest in arrears, and at the same time, he had to show the public a flail to warn the neighbors. ”

Xie Ning thought about it and felt that this verdict was not wrong.

Originally, he was justified in the fact that the person borrowed money and didn't pay it back, but being reasonable doesn't mean that he can go to someone's house to steal, this matter is indeed one yard and one yard, and it can't be mixed up.

The emperor smiled when he saw her, and said another thing: "There is another matter, which is the matter of a monk and a Taoist priest making trouble to the official mansion." ”

Xie Ning smiled and said, "Could it be that these two people also committed theft?" ”

"Not really." The emperor wanted to continue, but Bai Hongqi was going on outside, so the emperor stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Xie Ning: "You have a good rest." If you are bored, flip through the book and let Fang Shanggong talk to you more. ”

Xie Ning smiled and nodded: "The emperor should go quickly, don't worry about the concubines." ”

Waiting for the emperor to leave Fang Shang Palace, he came in, carrying a bowl of soup. The boat was not as stable as the imperial boat they had taken when they came, but Fang Shanggong's every move was still as smooth as it was on the ground, and there was no shaking at all.

"Master, drink a mouthful of soup, moisten your throat first."

There is not much soup, just a small lid cup, the taste is sweet, the entrance is warm, and it is only three or four sips to drink it.

Fang Shanggong is really good at serving people. Knowing that Xie Ning has a bad appetite, he never gets her food and soup on a large plate. People will have such a little problem, if you look at a small bowl, shallowly holding two mouthfuls of food, you will feel that this is nothing at all. If you pick up a large bowl and it is full, you will immediately have a feeling of "you have to eat this for a long time" and "this may not be finished".

Fang Shanggong only had a few mouthfuls of soup every time he brought it, but he couldn't hold it many times. After breakfast, Xie Ning ate two small snacks, counting this bowl of soup, he has already added three meals, and he didn't delay his lunch much. In the afternoon, there are usually two additional meals. After dinner, there will probably be another bowl of soup.

I don't feel too much every time, and I don't feel like my stomach is full when I eat it, but if I think about it, I really ate a lot of things this day.

Fang Shanggong waited aside, smiled and watched Xie Ning drink the soup, and when he was about to clean up the dishes, Xie Ning said: "Just put it there, let them clean up, you can rest for a while, you can pack up your things and go back to Beijing on the road in the past two days, you are tired enough." ”

"It's not tired, the slave didn't do anything, just moved his mouth and told them to work."

Fang Shanggong said lightly, Xie Ning knew that this job was not easy. There are so many people and things brought, and after another accident in the middle, it is not easy to count and sort it up again. Even if Fang Shanggong didn't have to do it himself, it was more laborious than others.

Fang Shanggong put the tray aside and sat down to talk to Xie Ning.

"Did the emperor tell his master a joke just now? The slave and maid heard the laughter of their master outside. ”

Xie Ning told Fang Shanggong about the case that the emperor had just talked about.

Fang Shanggong also laughed.

While laughing, I thought in my heart that the emperor told this case to the master as an anecdotal joke, and the emperor's heart for the master was rare.

But Fang Shanggong couldn't help but think more.

The eldest daughter-in-law of this family is afraid that she will have a hard time in the future.

Although she is innocent in this matter, gossip will not care about that, others will only hear the part that interests her, and she will not have a bad reputation in the future.

Also, her husband secretly gambled, and she can't be blamed for this, but to her in-laws, she is an outsider, and her in-laws may blame her, saying that she didn't serve and persuade her husband well, so he let him cause trouble outside. Isn't it said as the saying goes? If there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not suffer trouble. Extrapolating backwards, if the husband is in trouble, at least half of the fault is the wife's, right?

The family doesn't want to see her, and no matter how much people outside gossip, this woman will definitely have a hard time in the future.

Of course, Fang Shanggong would not say this in front of Xie Ning, so let the master be relaxed and happy for a while.

Fang Shanggong had already heard the news of King Wei's death.

King Wei died at this time, and it is difficult to say whether there was an impact of the emperor's assassination.

Fang Shanggong felt that these two things were inseparable.

She didn't know that someone in King Wei's family was involved in this rebellion, but this matter was manipulated by the nobles of the clan, and Fang Shanggong had already thought of it. Since the matter involves the clan, King Wei must be worried, which is indeed a difficult hurdle for an old man who has been ill for a long time.

"How's the princess?"

"The princess accompanied Miss Gan to practice the rules there."

Gan Xiyun was anxious to see that she was about to enter the palace, Princess Yuyao simply had nothing to do, since her partner wanted to learn, then she would accompany her to practice.

In fact, Gan Xiyun is really practicing, she is just playing.

Guo Shanggong was also quite cooperative, so let the two of them be together.

She taught Gan Xiyun how to greet different people in the palace, and Princess Yuyao always acted as the one who was saluted.

Although it is a little embarrassing for the little friend to bend over his knees, Princess Yuyao is embarrassed on the one hand, but on the other hand, she thinks it is funny.

Guo Shanggong said: "If you see the concubines, generally speaking, it is good to say hello." ”

Princess Yuyao stepped forward and half-raised her chin, Gan Xiyun didn't feel that she was taking advantage of herself like this, but felt that the princess was very naïve like this, smiled and saluted, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Say hello to Niangniang." ”

Guo Shanggong nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, that's it." Then he said to Princess Yuyao, "What should the princess say?" ”

Yu Yaogong coughed, pinched his throat and said, "No courtesy." ”

After saying that, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and Gan Xiyun laughed too.

"If you meet those high-ranking palaces and eunuchs in charge, although the girl doesn't have to salute like this, she still has to say hello." What Guo Shanggong didn't say was that everywhere in this world was the king of Hades who was good to see, and the little ghosts were difficult. There are such first-class people in the palace, especially eunuchs. On the one hand, they have low self-esteem because of their own background and physical disability, and on the other hand, they pay more attention to the attitude of others towards them. If you are a little slack, they will think that you are deliberately neglecting them, that you are looking down on them. Such a person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he speaks ill of things behind his back, which makes people unguardable.

Therefore, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

I have to say that Princess Yuyao is very smart, she usually doesn't see those eunuchs, as soon as Guo Shanggong said that she saw the eunuchs and fathers-in-law, she bowed her waist slightly, leaned forward a little, her head was a little low, and she also had a smile on her face.

Guo Shanggong said in his heart that the princess is really smart.

And a child of her age likes to learn from others the most.

This is learned from the good people, and it is likely to be bad if the bad people are followed.

It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to the people around the princess and screen them again, so as not to mix in the people with bad conduct.

Guo Shanggong instructed Gan Xiyun how to say hello.

Gan Xiyun actually understands this truth.

She lived under her stepmother first, and then lived in her uncle's house, who hasn't met anyone? The stepmother stabbed her face three times, in front of her father is a face, and when she turns her back, she has another face. It's not that she hasn't tasted the indifference, exclusion and bullying of the people in the family.

As for being in her uncle's family, she can't be considered her own family, after all, she wasn't born to her aunt. But it can't be regarded as a guest, after all, you can't write two sweet words with one stroke. Although her uncle is generous and her aunt is also enthusiastic, people may not regard her as a serious master. She has seen the scheming of those housekeepers and big girls.

There are only those in the palace that are more powerful than those outside the palace.

And Guo Shanggong is a very thoughtful person, since she just took this out and taught her seriously, it shows that these people, like those masters, cannot be ignored.

Gan Xiyun practiced all morning, and when it was time for lunch, he felt a sore back and legs.

But she has been used to carrying everything by herself since she was a child. Why did others help her for nothing? Even if you can help, you can't help for a while, and the most reliable person in this world is only yourself.
