Chapter 268: I Killed Someone
When I returned home, talking about the things in the women's school, Su Su said that several families in their village also brought the girl back and didn't let them read, but this is all a personal matter, and they are not easy to interfere with, but they don't know if the school can still be there when the girl grows up.
"The folk customs of Baisha County are still civilized, and they are already like this, and in other places, I am afraid that even the school has not been built." Aunt Zhang sighed, "Especially this matter, the queen directly came forward to supervise it, how can those big men who are officials be convinced." They must have felt that in the next ten or twenty years, it would be time for a woman to rob their officials. ”
But everyone doesn't want to be unhappy about this matter, after all, this is not a situation they can easily change, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be over soon, and the town will still be very lively this year, and the county magistrate has started preparations early.
In the evening, when Su Su was about to go home, he remembered one thing, ran to the third floor and whispered to Xiaowan: "This summer, your father came to our village every three or five days, and Sister Qin didn't dislike him. ”
Xiaowan asked, "Does anyone in the village gossip about Sister Qin?" ”
Su Su shook her head and said: "The eldest aunts and aunts discussed instead, whether your father came to our village to become a parent, or Sister Qin went to Qingling Village, saying that the people in Qingling Village are too fierce, and in the future, your family will have a place to live if you become a parent, and the two girls are going to get married, just leave the house in Qingling Village to your younger brother, and your father will come to Baisha Village." ”
"That's kind of an inverted door." Xiaowan said, "I don't care, but my father ......"
She thought about it carefully and said to Su Su: "Let's just pretend to be confused, I don't plan to match, let alone interfere, one day my father will come to me by himself, or Sister Qin will come to me, and I'll talk about it then." ”
In this way, after going home and resting for two days, Ling Chaofeng went out again, agreeing that he would definitely come back to the town with his family to watch the fireworks during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Standing in front of the inn, watching her husband go away, Aunt Zhang asked Xiaowan: "Is it aggrieved to marry such a busy man who is not at home all the year round?" ”
Xiaowan smiled: "If I say I am wronged, I have no conscience, why did my aunt think of asking me so?" ”
Aunt Zhang said: "I suddenly thought so, when I was in the capital, Ershan was always not at home during the day, and I didn't see him much throughout the summer, Lian Yi sometimes would be in a daze at the window, but for a while, it would be fine after two days." I thought to myself, she must have hoped that Ershan could accompany her more. ”
Xiaowan said: "When I just gave birth to a child, I felt weird, but I couldn't take care of the two of them at that time, and I didn't have the heart to think about it. If you have to say it, you naturally want to be with your husband every day, even if you go out with him, but auntie, you can do whatever you want to live, someone has to give in, each family has its own way, how can there be absolute right and wrong, don't you say? ”
Seeing that the little lady was so clear and down-to-earth, Aunt Zhang said with relief: "Marrying you is really a blessing for the wind." ”
Xiao Wan smiled sweetly: "No, he's rare." ”
The days of the inn are warm and peaceful, but in a big country, not everywhere can be peaceful.
When it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Qingming Pavilion is full of excerpts and congratulatory gifts sent from all over the country, please greet An, this kind of excerpt emperor is always lazy to see, like smoke occasionally come to the Qingming Pavilion, will cook for the emperor.
Today is the same, she has been busy in the Qingming Pavilion for a long time, and when the emperor returns, the excerpts have been placed in different categories, like a smoke: "These are not excerpts to ask for peace, the emperor is too, how to put it at your fingertips." ”
Xiang Run frowned, opened a book and glanced at it hurriedly, and blamed himself: "It's me who was negligent, I wanted to talk to you for a while, let's deal with these things first." ”
Like smoke, he went to the window to serve tea, and waited for the emperor to come to drink tea, Xiang Run sat at the table and looked through the folds, one by one, suddenly frowned, and unconsciously glanced at his wife.
The queen picked the tea leaves without distraction, Xiang Run put the folds together, and said lightly: "Yan'er, there are a few important matters, I want to immediately summon the minister to discuss, and you will return to the Hanyuan Palace." ”
"Yes." Like smoke put down the things in her hand, the emperor suddenly became entangled in government affairs, this is a very common thing, she will not be unhappy, and said proudly, "I am sorry for my carefulness, I didn't make the emperor miss the big thing." ”
Xiang Run bowed his head happily: "Thanks to you." ”
But as soon as the queen left, the emperor's face changed, and he flipped through several books in a row, and his eyebrows were condensed with anger, which did not dissipate for a long time.
On this side, Ling Chaofeng rushed home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, bought toys and snacks for the children, and brought some special products for Uncle Biao to ponder the dishes.
But on the way back, he had to tell Xiao Wan what he had seen and heard in various places, which couldn't help but make Xiao Wan's heart cold.
In other places, in accordance with the queen's decree, women's schools were opened, but in less than a year, all kinds of ills and troubles followed.
Baisha County is like this, but it's still good to just bring the girls back and not let them study. In other places, some people smashed the school with sticks and hoes, some people arrested the female gentlemen and said that they were lying to confuse the public, some squires colluded with the government to embezzle the silver money allocated by the imperial court, and the most hateful thing was that there was a bitter master who went to the yamen to ask for help, but after their daughter entered the school, she disappeared inexplicably.
"Xianggong, what do you mean to be missing?" Xiao Wan's heart trembled, in fact, she understood it very well, but it would be too cruel to say that way.
Ling Chaofeng said coldly: "The person who was run the school was sold and abducted. His eyes were full of anger, "Disappearance is one of them, and the most hateful thing is ......"
He clenched the reins, the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged, and the words were full of hatred: "There are even people who take advantage of the school to obscene-desecrate-defile those children." ”
The horse stopped suddenly, Xiaowan was tense, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Xianggong.
Ling Chaofeng said quietly behind her ear: "Late night, I didn't hold back...... Killed a person. ”
Xiao Wan turned around suddenly: "Kill ...... Human? ”
"I hit too hard, and I killed the beast who tried to force the child with the wrong hand." Ling Chaofeng's eyes were cold: "Evening, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to go to Beijing to surrender to the Criminal Department, this matter should be settled." ”
Xiaowan had tears in her eyes, grabbed her husband's arm tightly with one hand, and said for a long time: "Xianggong, I will go with you, even if you want to go to prison and exile, I will go with you." ”
Ling Chaofeng lowered his head and kissed Xiaowan: "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine." ”
"I know." Xiaowan was already choked.
Ling Chaofeng said: "The thing is that the implementation of this matter by the imperial court, as well as the queen's mother's interference, will cause an uproar in the government and the opposition, once someone makes a big fuss, it is likely that the courtiers will demand the impeachment and abolition of the queen."
