Chapter 185: Who is better than whom
Mrs. Yao also knew that she couldn't ask this little daughter-in-law to ask a fart, she just called her to vent, what should be done, she doesn't have any regulations now, in short, Kang Shufang can't help much, looking at Kang Shufang kneeling there with a blank face, Mrs. Yao became more and more angry and didn't come out: "Go down, don't go out of the house this month, save yourself from causing any more trouble!" ”
In other words, her feet were banned, Kang Shufang just wanted to go back to the room quickly, no matter what it couldn't help but do, after leaving the wilderness, Mrs. Yao sighed and said, "What kind of sin have I created!" ”
Mrs. Yao used her brain and began to think about who in Beijing could help her, but she didn't expect Yang and Lu to send someone to ask for a meeting, although Yao Liming was the main culprit, but Yang Lu and the two were accomplices, and the three of them were grasshoppers on a rope, so they had to get together to discuss.
As soon as the people from the Xinyang Hou Lu family saw Mrs. Yao, they said: "Madam, my Hou Ye asked the little one to tell Madame that the old man of Jingzhong Xun has a lot of connections with Tubo, and it is recommended that he come forward to help make peace." ”
Mrs. Yao secretly said yes, this Xun Zhifang Xun Lao, in the early years by the emperor to send an envoy to Tibet, because he is highly respected, upright, not only deeply trusted by the emperor, but also quite the love of Tubo Zampu, he and Tubo for nearly 20 years, and finally returned to Beijing also brought back a Tubo wife, so far are husband and wife love, in Beijing as a good story, if not Xun Lao has been nearly ancient, now he will not let him go home, live for the old man.
If you talk about the candidate, there is no more suitable person than him in Beijing, he has a bit of face in front of the emperor, not to mention, he is also a man of faith, if he is willing to come forward, the emperor's side will definitely lose most of his anger, the most important reason, he has a deep relationship with Tibet, if he goes to the embassy to say a few good words, this matter can probably be resolved.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yao smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding Master Hou, then let's go and ask Xun Lao to come forward, we can't be empty-handed, right?" ”
The person from the Duke of Deng's Mansion stepped forward and said with a smile: "Madame is reasonable, the little one has confessed before coming, our third young master and Young Master Yao have a deep affection, Young Master Yao said a word, he rushed up to cheer for Young Master Yao without hesitation, and now that something has happened, naturally he is also listening to Madame's orders, what do you say, let's do what, there is no other word." ”
Listen, why is this so sour, it is clear that everything is listening to you, but secretly it is only you who ask, originally Mrs. Yao wanted to ask Xun Lao, why did she have to say two hundred taels of silver, her own judgment, one hundred taels, Yang Lu and the two families each gave fifty taels, now that she said this, how could she speak? People are obviously blaming the Yao family for being an accomplice to their own young master!
Mrs. Yao couldn't help but look at the person from the Lu family, only to see that the person also looked like she was listening to and respectful, and sighed secretly in her heart, it's just that, she deserves her Yao family to be unlucky, the Yang and Lu families are strictly speaking also dragged down by the Yao family, if it weren't for Yao Liming to go to the Yin family's envoy, things wouldn't be like this, it's just that, if you forcibly ask someone to give out dozens of taels of silver, people won't come out, but after all, the Yao family is inferior, it's better to be happy.
Thinking about this, Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "The matter is caused by this child, the two nephews are really a disaster, if the money is from the Yao family, please go back and tell the head of the family, our general has not been in Beijing for many years, if there is anything that needs help in the future, please also ask the two families to make it more convenient." ”
When the two of them heard this, their hearts were naturally extremely ironing, and they both said immediately: "Madame, don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words." ”
As soon as the people left, Mrs. Yao called Xu Rui and asked her to take two hundred taels of silver to Xunfu for a trip.
Xu Rui's face responded, and she was angry in her heart, why did she have to spend her money to deal with the aftermath every time this Yao Liming and his family did something immoral! In Xu Rui's eyes, this Yao Mansion will be hers in the future, her husband is a descendant, and she is the eldest son, isn't the money in the public school her money, and now she takes the money to take care of the aftermath of Yao Liming, and her heart hurts like digging meat.
She went back to the room and took a pair of cards for people to pay the money, the brand was just handed to the girl Xiaoyue, she was a little reluctant to put it down, Xiao Yue said curiously: "Young lady, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter, what's the matter, this weekday is thrifty, and all the feelings are saved for that bastard? Two hundred taels of silver, I really feel sorry for me. "Xu Rui is also diligent and thrifty in running a family, didn't these two hundred taels of silver make her feel distressed.
Xiao Yue also knew that she was stingy, and comforted her: "I heard that Xun Lao is upright, maybe he won't accept this silver." ”
"Don't accept it? How is that possible. With Xu Rui's mind, she thought that no one would push away the silver sent to her.
"How is it impossible, the young lady will know it when she tries it", Xun Lao is a person with both ability and political integrity in the emperor's mouth, if he loves money like Xu Rui, how can he have some reputation in Beijing. Xiao Yue just felt it, but she didn't dare to argue with Xu Rui.
Xu Rui sighed, and finally gave Xiao Yue the right cards, received the silver, and she went to Xunfu.
Although Xun Lao teased Sun at home, he was still quite concerned about the affairs in Beijing, especially when Tubo entered Beijing recently, he also went to the post house to see the mission in a private capacity, and the man in purple in the mission was a distant relative of his wife's mother's family, named Sanjie. He and Sanjay also drank once, and praised the current Zampu of Tubo, who was also at the wine table at that time, and heard him praise himself so unwillingly, and he was also full of good feelings for this old man. He also asked some topics that he was interested in, and Xun Lao also answered them one by one, Zampu was very happy to learn that Princess Xiangcheng was indeed the emperor's favorite princess, at least the emperor was quite sincere.
Xun Lao had heard of Gao Shiman more or less, so he told them all about Xiangcheng's popularity in Beijing, and Zan Pu guessed that the woman who pretended to be a palace person during the fight that day must be Gao Shiman, so he inquired about Gao Shiman again.
Xun Lao was also very angry when he learned that Yao Liming had injured the messenger, and he also had a lot of friendship with General Yao, so he really didn't know how a generation of heroes gave birth to such a loser son.
On this day, I heard that someone from Yao Mansion came, Xun Lao also knew what was going on, he was one of the old men who had deep contacts with Tubo in Beijing, and he didn't want the two countries to fight each other over this trivial matter.
Xun Lao let Xu Rui in, and as soon as he saw Xu Rui, he said: "Xun Lao, you have a lot of friendship with your father, and you must have known some things at home. ”
Xun Lao originally intended to mediate from it, and when he heard her say this, he didn't squeak, and he couldn't immediately show that he wanted to serve you.
Xu Rui saw that Xun Lao only nodded and did not answer, and was anxious for a while, so he hurriedly asked people to take out the two hundred taels of silver prepared and pushed it in front of Xun Lao and said: "Please Xun Lao to spend some money, this is what Mrs. means, and please accept Xun Lao." ”
Seeing that the money was taken out, Xun Lao wanted to express his position: "My nephew and daughter-in-law will go back first, the old man will find a way to do this, you don't want to make people ask for help everywhere, you know?" "Xun Lao is ten percent sure that this matter will be done successfully, he is afraid that the Yao family will have extraneous branches, and draw snakes to add to it, so as to give an explanation, he will definitely not want this silver, if he does not accept it now, then the Yao family will not feel at ease, so he plans to return the silver after the matter is completed.
Xu Rui hurriedly smiled and responded, in fact, if Xun Lao didn't say this, she wouldn't think much about it, and now that she told her not to find another person, she had some suspicions that this old man was playing tricks. Maybe this matter is easy to solve, so this old man is afraid that they will ask others for help again, and when they find this, they want to swallow the two hundred taels easily?
The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman, Xun Lao has been frank all his life, how can he have such a dirty mind. He asked his subordinates to put the silver away as it was, and only returned to Yao's house after the matter was completed, and immediately changed his clothes and went to the post house.
With Sanjie here, there is naturally no difficulty in this matter, Xun Lao said that he came to apologize on behalf of the Yao family, and also said that Yao Liming is a well-known gentleman in Beijing, and he is either recruiting this or provoking that, and persuading them to start from the overall situation, so that the Yao family can lose the silver, in fact, it doesn't hurt that the messenger's legs are raised for a hundred days, but this tone is not smooth, and now Xun Lao came forward to say peace, and promised to pay the silver, he didn't want to make a big deal about it, and immediately said that he would listen to Xun Lao.
Xun Lao returned home and handed a sign into the palace, and the palace replied to ask him to enter the palace tomorrow. And Xu Rui ran back to her mother's house, and told her mother's family about it, she has a brother who has a very good face, only said that he knew some big people in the palace, and was willing to help to say goodbye, Xu Rui was happy, and stayed in her mother's house for a while and then went home.
On the second day, Xun Lao entered the palace to see the emperor, and when he talked about the Yao family, Xun Lao said that the attitude of the envoy was with the emperor, and then continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed wrong with the Yao family, but the mission has promised to forget this matter, and only said that it is all up to the emperor to deal with; General Yao is stationed at the border for the country, there is no capable man at home, although his youngest son is stubborn, but it should not be punished heavily, otherwise he is afraid of chilling General Yao's heart, in the opinion of the old minister, since the mission is willing to give up, the emperor might as well send a favor to spare the Yao family's child. ”
Since the mission was unwilling to pursue it, the emperor was naturally willing to send this favor, and he took Yao Liming and others to prison, of course, for the mission to see, otherwise he would not be able to explain to others. The emperor is lenient and does not like to restrain his people with prison at every turn, but Yao Liming must have injured others, so it would be better for him to stay in prison for a few more days, so that he would not be able to live in peace in the future.
After the two of them discussed, they chatted about something else, and the emperor arranged it, and only said that the Yao family would pay for the medical expenses in two days and let Yao Liming and others go.
And Xu Rui's brother immediately passed the news to her, and he himself boasted very well, only saying that it was because of himself, and asked his acquaintances in the palace to mediate in every possible way to be able to do so, and finally said that as long as the Yao family paid for the medical expenses, Yao Liming would be released in a few days.
When her brother left, the more Xu Rui thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, that Xun Lao didn't do anything, and she sat down to collect two hundred taels of silver, which was really profitable, she felt uncomfortable like a cat scratching, and she couldn't wait to go to Xun Lao to get the silver back.
