Chapter 41: Delivered to the door
Li Yingge pricked up his ears.
Xie Shi also listened to the ears.
Li Zichang talked about the court, "This morning, the emperor mentioned the assassination of His Royal Highness King Qian. It is said that before His Royal Highness the Grand Prince left Beijing, he personally interrogated the identity of the assassin from the leader of the prisoners of war. Those assassins, in order to rescue the leaders of the prisoners of war, bought off the horse thieves all the way to the northeast border pass, disguised themselves as caravans returning to Beijing, and secretly followed the soldiers of the northeast battalion on the road.
The assassin followed the chase closely, and found that His Royal Highness had received another secret decree and took the head of the prisoner of war to lead the way back to Beijing, and then he served the killer.
This matter has been delayed for half a month, and the emperor finally officially gave an explanation to the courtiers and His Royal Highness King Qian. ”
Xie sneered, "There are horse thieves every year, and there are especially many this year." ”
The horse thieves in the northeast border pass are so bold, Li Song, who had just robbed and killed the second room of the Li family in Qihe, has now become an outlaw accomplice in the assassination of Xiao Hanqian.
Even the Xie family felt that he was tired, and he was not a fool if he was an official in the court.
Combined with the previous rumors about the five princes, the secret discussion between Emperor Qiyang and several princes' imperial study, it is known that Emperor Qiyang's conclusion is to divert the contradiction and point to the northeast border pass.
Emperor Qiyang didn't want the northeast border to pass well, but he wanted the palace and the capital to have a happy year.
Li Zichang signaled Xie Shi to speak cautiously, and said with a dry cough, "Now that the eldest prince has left Beijing to thoroughly investigate the errand of the horse thief, the emperor originally intended to let His Royal Highness the second prince take over." Before the decree was issued, His Royal Highness King Qianwang entered the palace. The emperor met His Royal Highness King Qianwang in the imperial study.
After His Royal Highness King Qianwang left the palace, it was rumored that His Royal Highness had cancelled his leave, and he took over the errand of thoroughly investigating the horse thief.
How could this errand be done by the people of the Qianwang Mansion alone? His Royal Highness took over, I don't know how many people came to the door to seek a way, where is it clean? ”
Xie Shi suddenly.
Li Yingge was secretly happy, Xiao Hanqian did what he said, and his work efficiency was quite high.
Li Zichang stared at his wife and daughter, and explained, "The emperor's golden words are a conclusion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must rot in your stomach the fact that our family had secretly helped His Royal Highness King Qianwang get out." ”
Xie Shi had nothing to do, "Don't worry, master, I have already taught Brother Ying." ”
Li Zichang smiled with satisfaction, and after talking about the court, he talked to the Xie family about family affairs, "I just heard Li Fu say that the New Year's gift of the clan will be sent tomorrow." Pack up your guest house and come out, and entertain the people from your tribe well. ”
The clan refers to the Li family of Li County, and this year's New Year's gift is given early.
Xie Shiqi said, "I know. How did you report this to the master? ”
Li Zichang has never cared about the affairs of the inner house, Li Fu has become the big housekeeper from the scholar next to Li Zichang, how can he not know this.
Li Zichang explained, "In addition to the steward, there are also two juniors sent by my mother to greet the New Year. Probably because he heard about the assassination of His Royal Highness King Qian, he specially sent someone to ask, and he always wanted to inform me about it. When the people in the clan asked, you came forward and said a few words, so that the clan could feel at ease. ”
The Li family in Li County has a total of four people, Li Zichang is four, and the other three houses are not good, all of them stay in the Li County clan to take care of the housework, and no one is out.
Now Xiao Hanqian, the noble son-in-law, has something to do, so he can only send someone to the Li Mansion in the capital to investigate.
Li Zichang doesn't look down on the brothers and nephews of the other three rooms, and rarely takes the initiative to interact with the clan after becoming the elder of the pavilion, but now it is the juniors who come, and they are even more lazy.
Xie heard him say that he was sent by his mother-in-law Liu, but he didn't think so.
After Li Zichang finished speaking, he asked a few words about Li Yingge's daily life, and then got up and walked out of the main courtyard.
Li Yingge glanced at Xie Shi, and saw that she was accustomed to Li Zichang's behavior of turning around and going to sleep with his aunt, and knew that the relationship between the couple was not as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
Li Zichang handed over the inner house to the Xie family to take care of, which was both trust and rules, but he was not sincerely respected.
Li Yingge remembered what he had seen and heard in his previous life.
In the previous life, the Li family of Li County held a banquet to celebrate the 70th birthday of the old lady Liu and Li Zichang's entry into the cabinet.
It wasn't until Xie gave birth to a daughter at the age of 30 and was married by the Holy Decree that Li Zichang changed his attitude.
When Xie gave birth to his son-in-law four years ago, Li Zichang changed from being a god to respecting each other like ice, and the couple didn't say a word except for their children and business, and Li Zichang almost no longer stayed in the main courtyard.
Li Yingge couldn't help but pouted secretly.
If there is no Xiao Hanqian, how sincere can Li Zichang's love for "her" be?
Xie's heart was like water, but she felt that Li Zichang was a scumbag.
As for whether it is a scumbag father, it remains to be verified.
Li Yingge can't be close to this cheap father.
Li Zichang didn't know that he had become a scumbag in Li Yingge's heart, and the next day the cabinet was fine, and when he returned home after ordering, he was just in time for the clansmen to enter the city, so he ordered Li Fu to take someone and send him to the inner courtyard to see the Xie family, and he went out to meet friends by himself.
Li Fu received the visit, but he was very surprised.
He thought it was the young master of the third room, but he didn't expect that it was the two young ladies from the third room.
Looking at the maids and luggage following the two young ladies, Li Fu suddenly smelled something unusual, he quietly arranged the New Year's gift and the people who followed the car, and handed over the rest of the people directly to the housekeeper mother Yang's mother in the main courtyard.
Mother Yang led the people to the main courtyard.
She had already returned to the main courtyard on an errand, and when she saw someone fighting at this moment, her previous good mood because of Li Yingge's good mood suddenly sank.
If Li Fu can see it, she can naturally see it.
Mother Yang sent the little maid back to the main hospital to report the news.
Xie Shi was also surprised, she looked at the two third-room ladies who entered the door, looked at them for a moment before hesitating, "But Sister Miao and Sister Juan?" The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and I haven't seen her for a few years, and I almost can't recognize it. ”
The Xie family and the old lady Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, and the whole Li family in Li County knows it.
But she won't let that slow down her people.
Mother Yang smiled and introduced, "Madame has a good memory, it is Miss Miao and Miss Juan in the third room." When I went back to Li County to celebrate the old lady's birthday, the two young ladies were still young, so they sat down with their aunts, and they didn't come to the old lady, no wonder you didn't recognize it for a while. ”
directly broke the identity of the two people who were not favored.
Li Miao's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she pulled Li Juan, who looked ignorant, and gave Xie a salute in a soft voice.
Xie casually sent the greeting gift, looked at the mother-in-law who came with him and said, "How is the old lady?" In previous years, her old man sent you to give gifts, and she has always been a light car, but this time it is hard for you to pack a big bag, and she also brought two little girls. ”
She pretended to be curious, but in fact she was sarcastic about Liu's stinginess, and the New Year's gift has always been thin.
He sent two more granddaughters over, obviously not intending to inquire about the situation in Beijing.
The mother-in-law was called Mrs. Liu, but she didn't seem to understand when she heard the words, so she only smiled and said, "I don't dare to say this to you." The old lady is in good health, but she only worries about Miss Miao and Miss Juan. The slave maid wanted to give a New Year's gift, and the old lady thought of you, and ordered the slave and maid to escort the two young ladies to you for a long time. ”
The girl's family has nothing more to worry about than family affairs.
Xie raised his eyebrows and exchanged glances with Yang's mother.
Liu's this is the first cut and then the play, and he sent people directly to the door.
