Zhou Ankang didn't expect this stubble, he couldn't answer the words for a long time, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and suddenly waved his hand, and the servant next to him was slapped: "What are you all doing standing stupidly?" Why don't you hurry up and carry something in for me! ”

The servants of the Zhou family moved in a hurry, and there was a thin eunuch beside Zhou Ankang who ran to the door of Xiao's house and wanted to push Wen Jin away.

As soon as Wen Jin raised his hand, he actually took a handful of scissors and stabbed it at him, and the eunuch couldn't dodge for a while, and a bloody cut came out of his face.

"Ahh

Ah Lai has been standing behind Wen Jin with a whistle stick, and at this moment he stood in front as soon as he stood up.

It's not a way to make trouble like this, is it possible that the two families are fighting? Zhou Ankang is not reasonable at all, then she is also very treated, Wen Jin picked up the scissors, pulled down her hair and twisted it: "The surname Zhou, I put my words here today, I will not marry anyone, even if you force the dowry into my house, it will be in vain!" ”

"Miss!" Xiao San, Ah Lai, Chunming, and Butterfly all ran over, Ah Lai forcibly snatched the scissors, and Wen Jin's feet were already covered like a dark cloud.

The master and servant of the Zhou family didn't expect Wen Jin to be so fierce, they were stunned, and they didn't know what to do.

Ah Lai took the scissors and rushed over to Zhou Ankang: "It's all you, the thief, who forced our eldest lady to become a monk, I, I have the trust of the grandfather of the country, and I have no face to live." ”

They all thought that Ah Lai was going to commit suicide, but they didn't expect her to rush over with scissors: "I'll kill you, kill you thief!" ”

Ah Lai is a kung fu body, and the storm is very sudden, it took a few steps to Zhou Ankang's side, scaring Zhou Ankang to dodge again and again, almost fleeing in the wilderness, Xiao San waved his hand, and the servants of the Xiao family all poured out, taking knives and sticks to avenge the eldest lady, several servants in front of the Zhou family fled with their masters, and the back were beaten a few times, and they carried things back in a noisy.

Ah Lai commanded a few maids to carry Wen Jin back to the inner house, and Mrs. Xiao was anxious and sad: "You kid, how can you make that kind of oath, in case Prince Ren comes back, ......"

"Don't worry, ma'am, doesn't he cut his hair too? I guess I made a public statement for him. If he really comes back, who will hold me accountable for what I swear? ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'm confused." Mrs. Xiao pulled Wen Jin into the house: "My poor child, why are there so many twists and turns in life. ”

"Madam, the more you get, the more you give, probably I will be blessed in the future." Wen Jin comforted.

"This kid is strange to be able to speak, and he is blessed with a lot of blessings."

Zhou Ankang made such a big move, not only the officials and people in the capital knew, but also quickly got the news in the palace, the queen didn't expect her younger brother to come up with such a mediocre move, angry and anxious, and was trying to find a way to remedy it, the emperor's will to reprimand has arrived - the Zhou family's title was reduced to marquis, Zhou Ankang was grounded, and was forced to go to Yilan Academy to study, the holy decree said: "Wait for the class to pass the exam, the emperor personally sent someone to pick up the second son to return home." ”

This Yilan Academy is dedicated to teaching the children of distant relatives and the children of the side branches of the nobles of the capital, and there are many children who are excellent in learning, and even if they do not have fame, they can become officials through various channels, so not everyone who wants to enter can enter. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is not the emperor's denunciation, but the promotion of Zhou Ankang, only the people of the Zhou family understand what a big punishment this is - Zhou Ankang is not learning material at all, it is estimated that it is difficult to achieve excellence even if he learns to have a white beard, isn't this a disguised expulsion from Beijing?

King Zheng has now become Zheng Hou, and Princess Zheng has also become Mrs. Hou, she cried and cried into the palace, begging the queen to intercede in front of Emperor Yongchang, and not to let Zhou Ankang go out of Beijing: "Isn't it the same to let him study at home?" Your father invited an old Hanlin who is a scholar, and his knowledge and literary talents are also first-class. ”

The queen hesitated a little: "Madam, I'm afraid this won't work, the emperor is angry." ”

"What can I do? Your second brother originally just heard that the eldest lady of the Xiao family was beautiful, but this time he actually saw his true face, and he was stunned, he didn't eat or drink at home, how dare he let him go out of Beijing? Mrs. Zheng Hou wiped away her tears.

"Mother, oh, madam, Miss Xiao's matter is over! The emperor made up his mind to let her wait for Prince Ren to come back, and let the second brother rest his thoughts as soon as possible. ”

"What? Isn't Prince Ren a monk? It's been so long, and there hasn't been any news, is it possible for a girl to stay a widow for the rest of her life? ”

"Madame!" The queen stopped, "Didn't the eldest lady of the Xiao family swear with scissors that she would not marry in this life, where did others let her stay alive and widowed?" ”

"Oh, that oath isn't for people to see? She doesn't like Ankang, thinks he's married later, hmph, and doesn't look at herself, she is already an old girl who can't get married. Although the Zhou family was deposed by the emperor, it did not hurt the root, they all thought that Zhou Ankang's basket was too big, and the emperor had nothing to do for the sake of face, Mrs. Zheng Hou didn't care, and her speech was still arrogant and arrogant.

"Madame, be careful!" The queen was a little anxious.

Seeing that her daughter was so nervous, Mrs. Zhenghou was a little disapproving: "You are also too careful, although the emperor does not favor you, but he does not treat you badly, otherwise, Emperor Daxing's filial piety has passed for so long, and the emperor has not filled the harem with beauty pageants, which is obviously a favor to our family." The emperor didn't give the Zhou family rights, but he was afraid that there would be another Liu family. ”

"Madame!" The queen gave her mother a look and told her not to continue.

"Empress, you and the emperor have been through ups and downs for more than ten years, and now there is only a barbarian woman in the palace, no matter how much she is favored, she will not be crowned, what are you afraid of?"

The queen was shocked, looked around, fortunately, she had already sent a few henchmen and palace maids out to guard the door, otherwise, what would be good if people heard this?

"My son, this is a good time to test the emperor, if he still has you, he will definitely allow you to intercede for Ankang, you don't want to raise the will of others and destroy your own prestige."

The queen had no master for a while, and she felt that her mother's speech was very unreliable, although she agreed, but for a long time, she didn't say a word for her younger brother, until Mrs. Zhenghou couldn't bear it, and entered the palace again, and found her daughter to cry, and the queen had to cheer up and prepare to give it a try.

Although the emperor deposed the Zheng family, before the Dragon Boat Festival, he still rewarded him with a lot of food according to the practice of previous years, which was no different from previous years, and the queen was a little bolder.

On this day, Emperor Yongchang had dinner and walked in the small garden, and the queen appeared.

"The concubine greets the emperor! The emperor is in good health and all the best! ”

"Well, get up, come here with this bum, but what's the matter?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide from the emperor's fiery eyes, the queen simply got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ankang is sick in the academy and can't eat rice and water for several days......"

"The queen is blaming me for punishing me too much?"

"The concubine doesn't dare! The concubine is just distressed about Ankang, he has never suffered since he was a child......"

"He hasn't suffered since he was a child, so it's time for others to suffer? Xiao Guogong is in *** for the important affairs of the court, day and night, I am in the capital, but I can't even protect his family? Everyone knows that he has easily found his lost children in the countryside, and he cherishes it the most in his heart, but Zhou Ankang dares to openly rob his relatives, force people to lose his hair, and swear not to marry. "Emperor Yongchang was very angry.

The queen's face was pale, who knew that behind a large cluster of April chrysanthemums, the imperial concubine walked out, so that her knees that she was about to kneel were straight again, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she said unconvinced: "Your Majesty!" Hasn't the emperor already punished him? Ankang also knew that he was wrong, he was sick, otherwise, the concubine would not dare to talk more. ”

"What a dare, what else do you dare not do! Come on, help the queen back to the palace, let her reflect on it, think about what the queen should do, don't worry all day long, I don't know what to do! ”

The eunuchs who served the queen were all frightened and trembling, hugging the queen back, and the emperor didn't say how long the queen reflected, and they didn't know how big the disaster was.

The weather is already very hot, the queen has been worried too much during this time, and now she has eaten another meal, and she is depressed after returning to the palace, but she can't be dispatched, she is sick, dizzy, and the imperial doctor Xuan has come to see it, and has taken a pair of medicines, but it has not improved.

The emperor didn't come to visit last time, which is also an important reason why the queen has not improved - she is in a bad mood, maybe she is no longer sick, but the headache and heart depression have not been eliminated.

On this day, the emperor still didn't come, but the great eunuch Liang Gonggong who was serving next to him came, and the queen felt a trace of joy in her heart, but the next words of Liang Gonggong destroyed the only little hope - the emperor asked the queen to hand over the right to control the harem, and the imperial concubine temporarily acted on behalf of the imperial concubine, the reason is very sufficient: "The queen can recuperate with peace of mind, don't let down the emperor's compassion." ”

"No, no, I can." The queen said anxiously.

"If the queen has spirit, go and thank the emperor."

The queen was pale and went to the small study, but the emperor did not see her, and it was still the Duke of Liang who passed the message on her behalf: "The edict: 'The queen's mind, I already know, rest in peace'"

The queen unwillingly tugged at the sleeve of Liang's father-in-law, who wanted to turn back: "What else?" What else did the emperor say? ”

Father-in-law Liang hurriedly pulled back his sleeves, saluted and replied: "It's gone, the emperor said these words." ”

This is putting himself under house arrest in disguise. The queen was almost paralyzed to the ground, her mother was right, Meiyuhe is a foreign race, and it cannot be sealed, so the emperor is keeping himself and making a cover for others.

Why hadn't she thought of this sooner? The emperor's woman in the East Palace has been wiped out, he is the only one left, the emperor does not love her, but is afraid that someone will gossip, he is now full of plum rain lotus, in the future, maybe there will be other women to be favored, but himself, fate is destined to be yesterday's yellow flower, it is impossible to have another day.

Immediately, the emperor revoked the privilege of Madame Zheng to visit the empress once a month.

Zheng Hou came back and scolded his wife fiercely, and he wanted to punish Lin Yue, but found that this guy had been driven away by his son, packed up his things and went back to his hometown. Lin Yue's hometown is not far from the capital, Zheng Hou sent someone to ask for it, and even the house and land were sold there, but he was nowhere to be found.

Zheng Hou found out that he was deceived, Lin Yue deliberately picked up Zheng Ankang's second goods, which turned out to be instructed by someone! Zheng Hou's first reaction was that the imperial concubine did it, but where did the imperial concubine have connections in the capital? Except that the two sisters and brothers of the Xiao family are cousins with her.

Xiao Yuchen quietly studies in Guozijian every day, only this Miss Xiao has heard that she has some means, so she doesn't need to use herself as a target, right?

No one believed that Wen Jin would sacrifice herself to fulfill Meiyu Lotus, but she had her considerations, so that no one would fight her idea anymore, and she could live a clean life.

Wen Jin's wish is very beautiful, and the design is also very decisive, but unfortunately there are still people who are willing to be Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and her pure wish has not been fulfilled.

On this day, Xiao Qiyun sent another message to Mrs. Xiao, saying that she was going to Niangniang Temple to ask for a child, and asked Mrs. Xiao to take Wen Jin and her two younger sisters for a walk.

The Guanyin Temple in the southwest of the capital is said to be very effective, where the incense is prosperous all year round, the female dependents go to ask for children, and the men who accompany them can have a feast - eat a good vegetarian feast, therefore, the Guanyin Temple has a requirement, that is, the people who go in, must have acquaintances to introduce, and they have to make an appointment in advance.

It is impossible for the people in the temple to contribute a vegetarian banquet to everyone for a long time, for a long time, they are not rich and noble, they are not qualified to come here at all, Zhao Yulan was a frequent visitor there in the past, and Xiao Qiyun also went with her a few times, and the reason why her Mrs. Xiao sent the letter was that she regretted that when she was not married, she did not bring her stepmother and eldest sister over for a walk, and she was looking forward to becoming the leader of Wen Jin and Mrs. Xiao.

"Madame, are you going?" Wen Jin knew that Mrs. Xiao also hoped to have a child in this life, so she asked with some hesitation.

Mrs. Xiao was really tempted.

"Madam, Lord Yujie has been there before, I asked her to take us there, do you say okay?"

Mrs. Xiao also felt that it was better than her stepdaughter taking her, so she asked someone to send a letter to Xiao Qiyun, rejected her kindness, and at the same time let Wen Jin go to Qian's house.

The county lord of Yujie was talking about Wen Jin at home, and the post here was sent in: "Please!" ”

Wen Jin walked to the second gate, the county lord of Yujie had already greeted him, under the influence of Ge's family, the lord of Yujie had more postpartum activities, and it was not so necessary to ask for fine rice and noodles for dinner, and the physical recovery was better than that of other rich and noble women, at this moment, she was just stronger than before pregnancy, and there was no weakness.

Seeing that Wen Jin's demeanor was quite normal, the lord of Yujie County did not say the words of comfort in his heart, and sometimes, the parties did not like to be sympathetic and comforting.

"Niangniang's body, the recovery is very good."

"Hehe, all of you say so, your Wei family's aunt still has a set."

"Hehe, it's just not too good to give you food, and let you move, my father-in-law is very unhappy." Wen Jin is joking about her stepmother, Qian Xiancong doesn't know how to take care of the mother, seeing that his wife has just come out of confinement, he was urged by Ge to walk in the sun, he was very unhappy, and even quietly complained to Wen Jin and asked her to persuade Ge.

"Jin'er, Brother and Sister Wei are kind, I know, but how can the county lord be like a country woman, she won't be able to stand it." I remember that a while ago, Qian Xiancong quietly said this to her, Wen Jin just wanted to laugh.

Lord Yujie immediately understood, she knew how good her husband was to her, so she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Your father-in-law doesn't understand, don't mention him." ”

The two talked, and then walked into the living room of the upper room, Yujie County Lord's baby son Lixia, it has been a hundred days, the little guy looks more like his mother, his face is big and his eyes are big, he is stocky and tiger-headed, not to mention how cute, when Wen Jin came, he was lying in the cradle, Xiao Liangkui held a rattle, screaming and jumping around the circle to tease him.

Wen Jin opened the burden in his hand, inside was a toy tiger head, the kind that could be put on his head, Wen Jin supported it with his hands, and he had to scold in front of Liang Kui, and the little guy's eyes couldn't turn away: "Sister, are you for me?" ”

Wen Jin held it high and shook his head: "I gave it to Lixia." ”

"Lixia won't take it, I'll take it and show it to him, okay?" Although Liang Kui is not very neat in speaking, he can fully express his meaning, he is now active, much thinner than before, and his appearance is more and more like his father, but his face is rounder, with a pair of big bright Danfeng eyes, and he is wearing a silk jacket with brown copper coin pattern on a white background, which is very attractive.

Wen Jin originally wanted to tease him, but when he saw those hopeful eyes, he finally couldn't help but break the gong and put the tiger head on his head: "Haha, Liangkui has become a little tiger." ”

Lixia in the cradle was the first to express his opinion, he screamed in surprise, kicked his feet thumping, and his little body turned over and over, and with a pop, he fell down.

"Ouch, Lixia turned over so neatly, this can't be broken in front of him, if he's not careful, he will turn out." Wen Jin said in surprise.

"But no, now on the bed, the nurse and the maid look at it nicely, and they almost fell down that day." Lord Yujie was very proud.

Wei Shi and Yanran also came over when they heard the news, Yanran was still holding Xiao Nannan, and the maid next to the county lord of Yujie neatly moved a bamboo crib, Yanran put Nan Nan in, Nan Nan grabbed the railing on the side of the bamboo bed and stood, looking at everyone with big eyes and black eyes, not recognizing life at all, and even showing two small glutinous rice teeth, and smiled at Wen Jin.

"Babble, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm teething." Wen Jin was amazed again, she felt that she had left the Qian Mansion as if she had seen it yesterday, but everything in front of her made her sigh that time flies.

Everyone was open for a while, and Wei asked Wen Jin if there was something wrong.

"It's something, Xiao Qiyun invited Mrs. Xiao to send her son to Guanyin Temple, Mrs. didn't want to go with her, so she asked Niangniang if she wanted to go.

"Go, go, I'm just going to go." It turned out that the lord of Yujie had made a promise there, if she could get a man, she would definitely reshape the golden body for the statue of Guanyin, she was now out of the hundred days, her body has recovered, and she naturally wants to go to repay the vow in person. Now, it is the early autumn season, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and wait, the cold wind will rise, but it will not be good.
