Chapter 8: Imprisoned
Xu looked at Feng with a reluctant face and said, "Second sister-in-law, please!" Sister Wan, be obedient, sister-in-law will bring Sister Luo to see you when she has time..."
Xiao Wan'er, who had never spoken, replied in a milky voice: "Mmmm, sister-in-law, sister..."
From the words of his sister-in-law Xu Yuzhu, Feng Shi sensed the urgency of the matter, did not stop, nodded directly to Xu Yuzhu, and then took the lead out of the courtyard.
Ou Yangmingli consciously led a group of people to follow.
The angry look made the maids who wanted to come forward to ask stop their steps, and they could only watch their group walk by...
Under the leadership of Feng and Ouyang Mingli, who exuded anger, the group of people left Ouyang Mansion safely.
Immediately after, Ou Yangmingli watched them disappear around the corner of the alley with tears in his eyes.
And he himself found a place to sit outside the gate, waiting for his father and two brothers with a tense little face...
Ouyang Mingli looked up at the sky and muttered to himself a little absentmindedly: "It's already the beginning of the day, is noon still far away?"
He had heard about noon a few times, and what his mother's words revealed was that something might happen after noon, and it was a big deal, otherwise he wouldn't let his second aunt take those people away.
Sitting on the steps outside the mansion gate, Ou Yangmingli looked left and right, and thought carefully in his heart.
He felt the tension in his home, the faint worry of his mother...
At this time, Ouyang Jin, father and son, who were hurrying home, were so anxious that they were all going to the room.
On the way back just now, his father-in-law sent someone to inform him that his father Ouyang Hong and eldest brother Ouyang Hui had been imprisoned, and the reason was not well understood, so he asked him to return to Ouyang Mansion quickly.
When the father and son heard this, they remembered that since yesterday, they had not seen those two in the mansion, but they didn't expect to be put in prison, so they hurried to the mansion...
The two sons of the Xu family were not at home, so Xuzhou had to go out in person to inquire what the Ouyang family had committed and how it would be sentenced, and he knew at this time why his daughter was so anxious...
Thinking that Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Hui were imprisoned at the same time, Xuzhou pondered the meaning of this...
Ouyang Hong is a third-grade official, and when he is Taichangqing, he is responsible for presiding over sacrifices and the like, even if he makes a mistake, he will not make a mistake in the court.
This time, he was completely implicated by this self-righteous Ouyang Hui.
Yesterday, the court was discussing the relationship between Wuxi and its neighbors, and Ouyang Hui, the young Zhan of our Zhan Mansion, actually opened his mouth to fight, which made the court who was talking about this matter enter a state of silence for a moment.
In the end, he ignored the look from his father, and said an unrealistic thing without saying anything, and even involved the prince, which made the person sitting on it directly order him to be escorted down.
Ouyang Hong hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, forgetting that the person was angry, so he put himself in.
At the same time, he also gave an edict to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China: The ministers are not allowed to leave the Jinluan Palace before noon tomorrow.
Xuzhou can know this, or a little eunuch in the palace is the in-law of the Xu family in the Ouyang family, and his master has received the favor of the Xu family, and after telling the master, he took the opportunity to go out of the palace to find something new for the master to inform Xuzhou of the matter.
After hearing this, Xuzhou hurriedly thanked him, personally sent the person out of the house, and then sent someone to find Ouyang Jin, and he thought about who to inquire about the best...
Ouyang Jin's father and son hurriedly returned to the house, and saw the third Ouyang Mingli sitting on the steps outside the mansion gate, hurriedly stepped forward to pat him, and said eagerly: "Come into the house, go back to the courtyard to accompany your mother and sister, and your father will go to your grandmother's." ”
After speaking, Ouyang Jin didn't stop and ran directly towards Old Madam Ouyang's plum garden, and Ouyang Mingli, who didn't know what was going on, was dragged by the two brothers to the Hejin Courtyard...
Plum Garden.
"Mama Li, is my mother here?"
When Mama Li saw Ouyang Jin, who was sweating profusely, she said in her heart: It can't be an accident, right? Hurriedly curtsied and said, "Second master, the old lady is taking a nap." ”
"Go and see if the old lady is awake? If you don't wake up... Forget it, I'd better go by myself..."As he spoke, he walked towards the door of Old Madam Ouyang's room.
Knock knock knock~
Mama Li had never seen such an anxious second master, so she knocked on the door and said softly: "Fan Dai, tell the old lady, the second master is in a hurry..."
As soon as Mama Li's words fell, a crisp voice sounded in the room: "Mama wait a minute, Fandel will go." ”
Dressed in a pale pink dress, Fan Dai quickly came to the bed side of Old Madam Ouyang and called softly: "Old lady, old lady, old lady, second master has something urgent to report..."
Hearing Fan Dai's voice, Old Madam Ouyang muttered, slowly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Jin has something urgent?" ”
"Mama Li said that the second master has something urgent to tell the old lady."
"He's in a hurry? Why don't you watch the shop run back? If there is anything urgent about him, let him go..."
After finishing his speech with a calm face, he lay back again, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep....
Old Madam Ouyang's voice was not small, and Ouyang Jin, who was standing outside, listened to it word for word, and really wanted to leave with her sleeves brushed up.
However, he suppressed the fire that was swaying in his heart, and said loudly outside the door: "Since the mother is gone, the son will not disturb the mother's lunch." It's just that I heard that my father and eldest brother have been imprisoned, so I think it's okay. ”
After speaking, he stepped out of Old Madam Ouyang's plum garden without looking back.
The old lady Ouyang, who had just laid down and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, heard Ouyang Jin's words outside the door, and a spirit sat up.
Suddenly, he didn't have the heart to take a nap, and asked nervously: "Fandel, did you hear what that bastard said just now?" ”
Fan Dai curtsied her knees and replied cautiously: "Old lady, the maid hears it." The lord and the uncle went to court yesterday and have not returned yet. ”
"Someone! Come! ”
As Old Madam Ouyang shouted, the maidservants and mothers-in-law who heard the sound came quickly and curtsied: "Old Madam..."
"Fandai, quickly go and inform the housekeeper and ask him to send someone out to find the master and the uncle, and see where they are now?"
"You all put down your work and keep an eye on Hejin Courtyard for me, I want to see what they are doing."
"Yes."
"Yes."
With the sound of response, the people who heard the sound left quickly one by one.
Looking at the departing maid-in-law, Old Madam Ouyang suddenly had an ominous feeling in her heart, and secretly thought in her heart: Could it be that Ouyang Jin's bastard thing is true?
At this time, although Ouyang Jin was worried about his father and eldest brother, since his mother said so, he should go back to the yard to accompany his wife and children.
