Chapter 54: Demotion

What?

Her dad was fighting with someone else today?

Xiao Jinyue frowned, could it be that she was still dreaming at the moment and hadn't woken up yet?

Although her father Xiao Pingyuan was transferred to Beijing to serve as the former deputy commander of the palace, the subordinates in the palace continued to use the previous name and called him a general.

Although Xiao Jinyue doesn't know much about this cheap father, after this period of getting along, she gradually understands that her father is not a brave and reckless man as it seems on the surface.

In her opinion, she should not be a person who will fight with others at will.

As soon as he thought about it, another maid came from outside the window and lowered her voice, "What do you mean that our general fights with others, just the weak body of the left squire of the household department, our general can beat him with one punch, why do you need our general to fight with him." ”

Although the maid who spoke was worried about waking up her girl, she deliberately lowered her volume, but Xiao Jinyue felt the full pride in her voice across a wall.

The maid's voice was too real, and Xiao Jinyue couldn't help but reach out and pinch her earlobe.

Feeling the pain coming from her ears, Xiao Jinyue frowned, it turned out that she was not in a dream.

That is, her father really did it with someone else?

Xiao Jinyue was powerless to support her forehead, and she didn't know what she missed after sleeping this night.

coughed lightly, and raised his voice to call the two maids outside.

There were two maids, one tall and one short, who came in to serve because Fennel was injured.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue sitting on the bed, the two of them were full of joy, "Girl, you're awake." ”

"Pour me a glass of water."

The two maids agreed, one brought her a glass of warm water, and the other stuffed a pillow behind her back.

Xiao Jinyue took the teacup, drank most of the cup in one go, handed the teacup to the maid, and said casually, "What time is it?" ”

"Back girl, it's the beginning of the year." The one who replied was a slightly taller maid, and Xiao Jinyue remembered that it was called Banxia.

Originally, she was serving by her mother's side Xue, but she thought that her mother was worried that Fennel was injured and couldn't take care of her, so she sent Banxia over.

It turned out that he had slept for an hour and a half, no wonder his stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue touching her stomach, another round-faced maid named Baiguo hurriedly said, "The girl is hungry, the slave maid went to bring the porridge, and the lady ordered, wait until the porridge is eaten before drinking the medicine." ”

"What kind of medicine?"

"The girl fell asleep and didn't know, Mrs. asked a doctor to come into the house, asked you for a pulse, prescribed medicine, and gave ointment, the eldest girl thought that the slaves and maids were rough, and they would help you get pain, and she personally gave you the medicine."

Xiao Jinyue knew that she was asleep, what her mother and eldest sister did for her, her heart warmed slightly, this family is really good to her.

Xiao Jinyue nodded at her, and Bai Guo turned around and retreated, ready to go to the kitchen to bring the porridge that had been warm on the stove.

"Banxia, I heard you just now, my father started a fight with someone else, what the hell is going on?"

Banxia didn't expect that what she said to Bai Guo outside was heard by the girl, and seeing that she didn't blame, she didn't hide it, and told everything.

Xiao Pingyuan, as the deputy commander of the palace, is usually on duty in the palace, and after being on duty today, at the gate of the palace, for some reason, he had a dispute with Zou Changyuan, the left attendant of the household department, and the two made a quarrel in public.

Originally, civil and military officials were born to deal with each other, and it was common to have disputes in daily life. When the officials on duty saw that they were making trouble, they stepped forward one after another to persuade them.

It took a long time to persuade the two to leave.

Seeing that Xiao Pingyuan got on the horse and the left waiter of the household got into the sedan chair, everyone thought it was okay, so they prepared to go back to their respective homes.

Unexpectedly, before everyone left the palace gate, something happened suddenly.

Xiao Pingyuan's mount was suddenly frightened for some reason, and ran wildly, and happened to crash into Zou Changyuan's sedan chair, knocking him out of the sedan chair, breaking his left leg.

Under the pain, Zou Changyuan scolded Xiao Pingyuan for being deliberate, and in order to retaliate against him, he deliberately let the mount crash into his sedan chair, causing him to break his leg.

This scene was seen by the two imperial historians on duty, and they also thought that Xiao Pingyuan was at fault, seeing that he first quarreled with his colleagues, and then broke someone's leg with his mount to retaliate, and decided that he was a narrow-minded and impulsive reckless man, so he had to go to the emperor to join him.

Because the matter was too big, the guards on duty were alarmed, and they were reported to the emperor by the guards.

So the two who had not left the palace were taken back by the emperor's order.

The two imperial histories who witnessed what had happened glanced at each other, and naturally followed.

The left waiter of the household department was carried to the emperor by the guards, and scolded Xiao Pingyuan in front of the emperor, and after the two imperial historians waited for him to finish scolding, in front of the emperor, he also participated in Xiao Pingyuan's book, saying that he was narrow-minded, impulsive, and such a reckless person was not worthy of serving the post of deputy commander in front of the palace.

The emperor asked Xiao Pingyuan what happened, and he only said that his mount was probably unwell and frightened, so he accidentally knocked the left servant of the household department out of the sedan chair.

Looking at Zou Changyuan, who was crying with tears, and the two imperial histories staring at him, the emperor hesitated for a moment, and removed Xiao Pingyuan's position as the deputy commander of the palace and demoted him to the former commander of the palace.

That's how it happened.

No matter how specific it is, Banxia is a maid, and there is no way to know.

Xiao Jinyue was powerless to support her forehead, and she also planned to think of a way to see how to help his father's official position rise and improve her status a little, so as not to step on her if any noble person looked at her unpleasantly.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to act, his father was demoted from the fourth rank to the fifth grade.

"You're awake, is there anything wrong with you?" Xiao Jinlan's voice suddenly came, interrupting Xiao Jinyue's thoughts.

Bai Guo went to the kitchen to serve medicine, and happened to meet Xiao Jinlan on the way back, and heard that Xiao Jinyue woke up, so he came over to take a look.

When Xiao Jinyue saw her coming, she said with a smile, "Eldest sister, I'm fine." I heard that you were worried about me, and you have been guarding me before, why did you come back and come? ”

"It's okay. I just went to my father's place to take a look, thinking you weren't awake, and my mother asked me to come back and look at you. ”

Xiao Jinyue was overjoyed, she was trying to know more about what happened, "How is Dad?" Let's talk about it, how did Dad do it with Tobe Zuo Shilang? ”

Xiao Jinlan saw that although her face was still pale, her spirit was better than before, and her hanging heart finally fell.

It can be seen that she looked like she was interested in inquiring about gossip, and glared at her again, "You don't need to worry about Dad's affairs, just take care of yourself." If you don't drink the medicine quickly, if you continue to rub it, the medicine will be cold. ”

As soon as she heard that she wanted to drink medicine, Xiao Jinyue immediately bowed her head, she didn't want to drink it at all, and she couldn't help it.

Xiao Jinlan was angry and funny, and told Bai Guo, "Go to me and find Qingliu to bring some candied fruit to your girl, so that she won't be bitter and secretly pour the medicine again." ”

Bai Guo smiled and responded, turned around and went out.

Xiao Jinyue twitched the corners of her mouth and secretly poured the medicine, this kind of thing was done by the original owner, but she couldn't refute it.

Soon, Ginkgo came back with a plate of candied fruit.

Xiao Jinyue still wanted to struggle, "Sister, forget about this medicine, wait until tomorrow I will prepare a pair of medicines by myself and make them into pills before taking ......"

Before she finished her words, a little maid outside the door ran panting, "Girl, girl, no, I heard the sound of falling things from Madame's yard......"
