Chapter 33: Might
Sure enough, on the eighth day of Mingde's 'healing', that is, on May 18, 42, Kangxi issued an edict-
"Looking at the Etu, there is no intention of repentance, behind the back, complaining, discussing state affairs, and I have visited the party. …… As for the party of Suo Etu, there are also many Han officials, and if I point it out, they will all be wiped out.
I don't like to kill people, and if you break off your friendship with Suo Etu in the future, and cite what Yi has done, it will be okay, otherwise, if you are connected by Suo Etu, you will be like Kachuha, Asha, and be wiped out. On the 19th, he sent another message to Suo Etu: "You discuss state affairs, form a party and act recklessly, and complain behind your back, it is not appropriate to say, and you know it very well in your heart." ”
Suo Etu was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and not long after, he died in prison.
Zhiyun looked at the note in his hand, such a harsh wording, it was really the heart of the emperor, it was difficult to figure out. He smiled, cleaned up the scattered notes on the table, and threw them into the magic circle to destroy them.
After more than 30 years in the political arena, after ups and downs, several ups and downs, Suo Etu, who can be called another legendary figure of the Manchu Dynasty, has finally come to an end.
Zhiyun didn't know him, so naturally he didn't have much emotion, but Mingde was depressed for a long time, and from time to time he said that 'when the water is full, it overflows', and he was even more jealous of this court officialdom.
Zhiyun didn't persuade her, she could understand such a truth, but it was a good thing to save yourself from making mistakes like 'forming a party for personal gain', and then bothering yourself.
However, the people of the Zhang family are very happy, this is because Zhang Ying and Mingzhu's personal relationship has always been good, Mingzhu and Suo Etu have been at odds for a long time, and Suo Etu is the kind of person who is flying and domineering, even after being dismissed from office, he has never had a good face against Zhang Ying on weekdays, he has fallen, how can the people of the Zhang family not be happy!
"Gege, grandma invited you to Spring Garden, saying that Mrs. Zhang has arrived."
Zhiyun paused, nodded, and then remembered that yesterday the eldest brother and sister-in-law said that it was indeed time to add people around them, and asked Mrs. Zhang to help find a few Zhou Zheng's little girls, and she probably wanted to let herself go and see at this time.
July entered the door, put on a cloak for Zhiyun, helped her get up, Cui Mama helped open the door, as soon as the three of them entered the Spring Garden, Zhiyun saw her sister-in-law sitting upright on the upholstered bamboo chair, reflecting the snow, Rumei and the two maids stood aside to serve, and two stout grandmothers stood aside, it seemed that she was afraid that Ruyan would make a mistake.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and led twenty little girls who were about eleven or twelve years old to stand in the courtyard, and let Ruyan read it.
"Tuan Tuan." Ruyan heard the footsteps and saw that it was Zhiyun, so she hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile, "I know your preferences, these are all thoughtful, although they are not as good as July and October, but they are not bad, look, which ones do you like?" ”
Zhiyun glanced at it casually, and saw that the girl here was much more decent than in July and October, at least her clothes were neat and clean, and her appearance was good.
Now Zhiyun is thinking about how to train a group of top assistants, of course, she is interested in the maids who can be fully controlled, and she rarely looked at them patiently and carefully, and sure enough, she saw a few with good qualifications.
The third in the first row, the appearance is average, can only be said to be delicate, the eyes are also timid, very restrained, but the mental strength is not low, obviously a smart person, and next to her, looks a little older than one or two years old, tall, the face is very bright, a pair of phoenix eyes are wide open, dare to look at people, do not avoid people at all, if the average master sees such a girl, I am afraid that I will say a word unruly, unruly, unwilling to use, in such an era, this kind of personality, low-born girl, is not worn honestly, that is, to cause trouble on the body, and not to die well.
But Zhiyun is not taboo, as long as the qualifications are good enough and the conduct is fine, it is fine.
In addition, there are a few qualifications that can be seen, but Zhiyun can see at a glance that those few eyes are evil, careful, unruly, and not easy to obey, of course, if Zhiyun wants to be trained, she can still teach it, but it is not a stunning type, why should she bother so much, in this world, there are not many things, but there are many people, so Zhiyun only chose two this time.
Zhang Ruyan was very confident in her sister-in-law's eyesight, and without saying a word, she asked Mama Cui to lead the person down.
Mrs. Zhang took the reward, her eyes didn't dare to fall on Zhiyun at all, she bent down and lowered her head, and carefully moved her steps and walked out, Zhang Ruyan looked funny, and couldn't help but point the green jade on Zhiyun's white forehead: "Our group has frightened Mrs. Zhang, it's been almost two months, and she is still like a little mouse when she sees you." ”
Two months ago, Mrs. Zhang sent a group of rough maids, just met Zhiyun who was watching butterflies in July and October in the spring garden, this mother-in-law has been a human tooth for a long time, and she looks at people's eyes, with a bit of picky meaning, seeing that Zhiyun is so bright, and the girls around her are also very good-looking, that eye, it is inevitable that there will be some irregularities, and she mutters - how much are these three worth or something.
Of course, her voice is not loud, and others will definitely not be able to hear it, but how can Zhiyun not hear it? Yang ** didn't need the master's support, and flew over with a claw, scratching Mrs. Zhang's face with blood, if it weren't for Zhiyun's lack of wanting to make trouble, this claw would go down, she would have a pair of trouble-making tricks, I'm afraid I wouldn't want it.
Zhiyun ignored the mother-in-law's ghost crying wolf howl, and only said lightly, her cat has a bad temperament, and when she sees the irregular eyes, she will be furious, and she hopes that when Mrs. Zhang enters the house in the future, her eyes will not turn around, otherwise, the eyeballs will become cat food, and no one else can be blamed.
What kind of person is Zhiyun, she is a mage, and she also carries all kinds of gems that store hints, and a sentence that can't be said to be cold at all enters her ears, Zhang Pozi suddenly felt a chill down her back, her heart fluttered, as if she was about to jump out, her legs and feet began to weaken, and her head was buzzing......
It is said that after she went back, she fell seriously ill, even if there were several cat paw marks on her face, but she didn't dare to say half a word of gossip, and since then she has seen Zhiyun and retreated, even if she can't avoid it, she is respectful.
After the two selected girls signed the deed of sale, Zhiyun took out the magic contract to sign for them, with sharp eyes, called the sword, and looked cowardly, called the book. Then let one in July and one in October go down to teach.
After finishing the business, Zhiyun helped her sister-in-law to go back to the house, Mingde is not home today, I heard that Zhang Tingyu made an appointment with two friends, and the three of them are going to drink, in fact, Zhiyun and Zhang Ruyan are not against Mingde interacting with people more, after all, in the officialdom, many friends have fewer enemies, and entertainment is inevitable, but in recent days, he has gone out every day, although he will not come back too late, but he always has the smell of fat powder on his body.
Zhiyun once suspected that Mingde went to a place like Fireworks Willow Lane, but he didn't stay overnight, and Ruyan didn't say anything, Zhiyun, who is a sister, of course won't talk too much.
