Two hundred and seventy-three Mother Xiao
Wait, the concubine room of the second son of the Guogong Mansion, Ji Hu suddenly remembered, I vaguely heard that the abandoned wife of the abolished prince Ji Hui married the second son of the Zhou Mansion as a concubine, as if it was also a concubine surname, wouldn't it be this concubine? He touched his chin and asked softly, "Has this Sui Concubine ever married anyone else before?"
It's coming, it's finally here! Zhou Gongding secretly complained in his heart, as a son of heaven who has not yet been in power, although he has not dealt too much with courtiers, he has already been keenly aware that this young son of heaven has a superhuman perception, and he can draw inferences from each other every time he encounters problems. Sui Fei's past is afraid that he can't hide it, even so, if he pours beans from the bamboo tube at the beginning, he will explain it clearly.
After thinking about it, he immediately lifted his robe and bowed down, and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive the king, this woman is the abandoned wife of the rebel prince Ji Hui, and was later accepted as a concubine by my second son. She was originally from Chen Guo's office, she was Chen Jun's sister-in-law, and her mother was from Suidi, so she was called Suifei."
"How can that work?" Ji Hu smashed his fist on the bronze case: "Ji Hui's mastermind assassinated Yu Gu, and he has been convicted of a serious crime. Now, how can this woman enter the house and enter and leave the palace? Isn't Grandpa Guo old and confused?"
This last sentence was very serious, Zhou Gongding squinted, and couldn't help kowtowing: "King, it's not that the old minister doesn't understand the stakes. However, when he was in Fengjing Palace, the third prince was very unaccustomed to it, and after changing several batches of adopted grandmothers, none of them could win the favor of His Royal Highness. The old minister had no choice but to ask His Royal Highness to live in the mansion for a while, and he didn't want His Highness to see Sui Fei, so he pulled her and refused to let go, and he had to stay with her. Sui Fei had already given birth to a daughter, and she had just teeth, and it was also the time when she couldn't leave her mother. The old minister was really helpless, so he ordered the dog to be a concubine and send the concubine into the palace to accompany the third prince."
Before he could say more, suddenly Ji Ci opened his mouth and cried "Wow-" until he couldn't breathe, and couldn't stop pulling Ji Hu's sleeve and choked: "Brother -------- Wang, I ------ want a concubine, I just want a concubine ------ grandma." My mother is gone, and Aunt Dong'er is also ------Brother Wang, I only have a concubine------
Listening to Ji Ci calling Huang Huan and Dong'er one after another, Ji Hu's heart was trembling. Huang Huan's death, he, as the Son of Heaven, failed to protect Ji Ci's biological mother; And this time, Dong'er died of the palace plague again, and there was nowhere to find a corpse. He couldn't live up to his brother anymore, how could he not fulfill his only wish?
In the midst of Ji Ci's crying and begging, King Zhou Li had to make a compromise. He let out a long sigh and instructed Qi Zhong: "That being the case, how about allowing Gu to see this concubine and then make a decision?" He made up his mind that if this girl really had a bad eye, then he couldn't keep him by his brother's side under any circumstances and raise tigers for trouble.
After a while, a woman in her thirties with a slightly plump body walked into the hall after Qi Zhong, and without waiting for Ji Hu to ask, she knelt in the hall and bowed her head: "The sinner concubine sees the kingβ"
"Thou shalt call thy sinner, and thou knowest what thy sin is?" Ji Hu asked her like this on purpose.
Then the concubine bowed her head and replied, "Your lord, marriage is a major event, and concubines are not allowed to be self-contained. The order of his father and brother was married to the reverse prince Ji Hui, and he didn't want him to flee for fear of crime, so he stopped his wife and remarried on the coast of the East China Sea, and left his mother and son to endure the years in Hojing. For the crime of rebellion, neither the first king nor the king shirked the sin, and the concubine mother and son were grateful. However, the fault of the concubine is that she failed to observe the festival, so that she turned against her eldest son, and was adrift and had nothing to rely on, which was the fault of the concubine."
What she said was sincere, with a trill, even if it was a lie, it was also a bit sincere. Ji Hu thought about it for a while, it was true, as early as when the reverse prince Hui fled from Haojing, he cut off the relationship between husband and wife, and then the concubine married Tuesday again as a concubine and gave birth to a daughter. In this way, when a man marries a woman, the two are already irrelevant, and it is not good for them to hold on to this marriage that has long been an ancient one.
"The love between husband and wife can be broken, but how can the relationship between father and son be broken?" Ji Hu said coldly, "I heard that you have two sons with Hui Hui, where are they now?"
"The eldest son, Boyan, is now a member of the Prime Minister's House; The second son, Zhongwen," then she glanced at Zhou Gongding, who was standing aside, "I stayed in the Zhou Gong's mansion as a doorman."
"Yes, King." Zhou Gongding smiled and interjected: "I heard that Boyan is very powerful, and on the night of the chaos, he once tried his best to protect Gongshizi and kill the thief, which is quite respectful
γ As for Zhongwen, he is still young, and he will have more experience in the minister's mansion, learn some ways to usher in the future, and then plan for the future."
The eldest son of the rebel can listen to it under the command of Zhao Bohu, could it be that they have really let go of the death of their biological father? Ji Hu glanced at Sui Fei who was kneeling at the bottom of the case steps again, because of the answer, the woman was half-raising her head, and her eyes were only staring at the vermilion felt spread on the case steps. He suddenly felt that this woman was a little familiar, although she had faded and her face was full of traces of time, it was still not difficult to see that she was a rare beauty when she was young. It's no wonder that he can enter the eye of Tuesday and accept him as a concubine with an ugly reputation.
But this face always has some inexplicable familiarity, like whom? His eyes suddenly fell on Ji Ci, who was rolling coquettishly in his arms, and he was suddenly shocked, this Sui Concubine was so much like Huang Huan Niangniang! No wonder, no wonder ------ Ji Hu said in his heart, no wonder Ji Ci fell in love with her at first sight, and he had to ask her to serve beside her, it turned out that she was like her biological mother Huang Ying!
Thinking of this, Ji Hu felt sad for a while. The third brother Ji Ci was born unfortunate, he was sluggish since he was a child, and when Huang Huanniang was buried with him, he was still young. But subconsciously I have engraved the appearance of my mother in my small heart, and I miss it day and night. Usually it's okay, but once I meet a grandmother who looks like my mother, my mother's feelings will be out of control! It seems that this concubine must stay.
Ji Hu waved his sleeves: "Since Brother Wang can't leave you, then stay in the palace and wait!" However," he paused, and the necessary beating still had to be there: "The palace has its own rules in the palace, and the most important one is to be loyal to the master, since you have entered the Tong register, the third brother is your master. If you have an outside heart, not only your own life will not be saved, but your two sons outside the palace will have to prolong their sins and die!"
Then the concubine trembled when she heard this, and bowed down and said, "The slave and maid obey the king's orders!"
On the return carriage, Zhou Gongding was indeed a little tired, leaning cross-legged on the carriage board and squinting and napping. The retainer Maeber, who was sitting beside him, saw him like this, and he was quite eager to speak.
"You old thing! If you have something to ask, ask quickly." Zhou Gongding's old voice was slightly tired.
"No!" Mei Bo licked his lips: "Grandpa Guo, Bo Yan, is there really no longer contact?" I heard that he is very useful in the Prime Minister's Mansion now!"
"So what?" Zhou Gongding snorted lightly: "This time, he never revealed the location of the fourth prince, and he didn't even reveal a word about whether he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is clearly completely different from us. The twisted melon is not sweet, anyway, with Zhongwen in the hand, it is really at a critical juncture, and it is also a good card. Why bother to beg for shame in all the big and small things?"
"It's still my grandfather who is thoughtful. Sui Fei is no longer favored by the second young master in the mansion, this chess piece is wasted, but I didn't expect to be able to enter the palace and turn waste into treasure. It's unexpected!"
Zhou Gongding snorted lightly: "It's strange that the three of these mother and son hate each other and care about each other------- only in this way can they contain each other------" As he spoke, he was already fighting with his upper and lower eyelids, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
In terms of what was the most convenient means of transportation in the Western Zhou Dynasty, perhaps most people will think of horse-drawn carriages. In fact, the most convenient and fast means of transportation is the boat, which can not only carry many people, but also sail against the current, which is also much better than the land route.
Because of this, the painting boat of the Eyu side entered the Chengzhou area along the channel of the big river, and then got off the boat and changed to the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, all the way to the south. From here, you can go straight into the Jianghan Plain, the road is wide and smooth, there are no mountains and rivers to obstruct it, and it is also a path that has been surveyed for a long time.
After three or five days, the horse team finally set foot on the land of the homeland that Uncle Yu had been thinking about. It was the golden autumn, the people were busy with the vigorous and steaming atmosphere of the autumn harvest, the women, children, old and children who greeted the prince in an orderly manner on the side of the road, the neat and wide official road, and the well fields separated into countless green squares by the dense branch canals and hairy canals like spider webs, all made her sigh: It seems that the Marquis of Ehou has spent a lot of effort in governing the country over the years.
Eyu Fang was very interested, and he also wanted to hear the real feelings of his uncle who had been away from the country for many years about the changes in Efu.
"The prince ruled the country well, the people had enough food and clothing, worked in peace, and the country was safe everywhere. It can be seen that the prince has put a lot of thought into governing the country over the years, and the slaves and maids are very impressed!"
In the tent, the uncle put on the wine and dinner, and glanced at the Hou Yufang who had changed into bed clothes with a slight shyness, her eyes were full of care, and her beautiful face was shallow and smiling.
Eyu
Fang seemed to be accustomed to this kind of gaze, so he didn't care, and took a sip of wine lightly: "It's still early! Give the widow another five years, and this Hubei country will definitely become the premier power in Jianghan. At that time, hum -------" He didn't say any more, everything was silent.
Suddenly, he felt that his uncle seemed to be staring at him eagerly, refusing to take his eyes away, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and asked, "By the way, you have suffered for the country, and you have survived in Hojing for so many years, and you are a person who has made great contributions to my Hubei country. Have you decided what reward you want? As long as the widow can afford it, it will be unambiguous!"
After asking, the uncle was taken aback at first, then looked at E Yufang softly, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave and maid don't want any reward, as long as they can be a maid who serves tea and water by the side of the prince and marquis, and serves day and night, they will be satisfied------
"How's that going to work?" E Yufang put the wine on the table, so frightened that the uncle's heart trembled, and when he looked up and saw that E Yufang's eyes were full of coldness, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "It's all slaves, slaves and maids haven't seen the prince for many years, and they are a little out of shape."
