Chapter 53: The Powerful Mrs. Xiao
"Madam, listen to me, I'm really not ......"
"Isn't it? Came to me early in the morning and told me that it was too cold to sleep in the study? Want to come back to sleep? Don't think about it, if your son doesn't come back for a day, you don't want to go back to your room to sleep for a day. Come on, add two quilts to the master's study. Mrs. Xiao walked to the door with her clothes on, and her anger seemed to have not subsided.
Xiao Yu hurriedly waved her hand and gave Madame a look, "Madam, my back pain is committed again, why don't you help me take a look?" Go back and let someone send a letter to his son, can he not come back when his father is sick? ”
"You ......" Mrs. Xiao saw her husband's eyes and changed her words, "Hmph, then come in." ”
"Don't, didn't Mrs. just say that my son won't come back, won't let me go back to the room? Let's go to the study. Xiao Yu took his wife and left.
The two maids in the room looked at each other strangely, forced back a smile, and whispered: "The master must be thinking about the lady, tell the housekeeper, the master and the lady are busy, don't let people disturb you." ”
Coming to the door of the study, Mrs. Xiao shook off her husband's hand, "Old and not serious, how old are you?" I don't know what to say if I restrain myself and let my subordinates see it? ”
What???
Xiao Yu's old face flushed, do you think I pulled you over for a meeting?
Carefully dragging his wife into the house, Xiao Rui had already sorted out his clothes and was ready to go out at any time.
"Huh? Ruier! ”
"Shhh, my son came back quietly this time, and he can't make a noise." Xiao Yu hurriedly reminded.
Xiao Rui's mother's voice made Mrs. Xiao's eyes red in an instant, and she felt distressed when she saw her son thin and dark.
"My hard-working son, it's only been a few months, and you've become like this, and my mother almost doesn't recognize you. Isn't it just to help the imperial court build a few houses? There are people in the court, you ......"
"Mother, isn't it just a little tanned, it's darker than this when I went out to study before. It's not in the way, and when you're done with a few days of rest, it'll be in vain. When the child grows up, he always has to come out and do some big things. Xiao Rui comforted.
Xiao Yu nodded and praised: "Yes, Da Lang has grown up." Men are ambitious in all directions, and when they make contributions, how can they stay in the house all day long and follow their parents? ”
Mrs. Xiao glanced back, Xiao Yu's voice immediately lowered, and she whispered, "Da Lang, Dad supports you." Time is running out, you hurry up and talk to your mother, and I'll help you take care of the wind. ”
Burst...... Lookout? It's in your own home, and you're acting like a thief.
"Mother, I can't pull away if I can't come back, I'm busy. It's not that my dad won't let me come back, you can't let him sleep in the study all the time, what if it's freezing in the cold winter? ”
Mrs. Xiao scolded: "He deserves to be an old thing, dignified prime minister, I asked him to send someone to replace you back for two days, and he was perfunctory with me, what use do you want him?" There is an underground fire tunnel in the study that you designed, although it is not as good as the fire kang in the bedroom at home, but it is warm enough to freeze him. ”
The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched at the door, and she said in her heart, this old lady of a ruined family, are you your own family when you are in the court? If I am the prime minister, can I interfere in government affairs at will?
"In about three months, the site will be built. In the future, I will come back once a month, you can let my father go, although he is the prime minister, but he is an upright person, never uses power for personal gain, you should support him. ”
Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there is less than a month to go before the New Year, or it won't be long before my son will come back for the New Year......"
Xiao Rui sneered, meaning that I was about to persuade you, don't speak.
"Don't you know when the old lady will celebrate the New Year? With your reminder? Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
I'm ......
Xiao Ruiqiang couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart that he usually listened to his father about the big things in the family, and he thought that he was the number one leader inside and out, and he was the prime minister in the court, and he came back to be the head of the family, and he was quite a successful man.
Unexpectedly, when I looked away, my father had already become Fang Qiao and the like. Chang'an City knows that the first person in the Tang Dynasty is the prime minister Fang Qiao Fang Xuanling, who only married one woman, and he didn't even dare to accept a concubine.
Now it seems that the prime minister's fear of the interior is a characteristic of the Tang Dynasty?
After chatting for about twenty minutes, Xiao Rui climbed over the wall again and quietly left.
In the study, Xiao Yu handed over a handkerchief to help Mrs. wipe her tears, licked her smiling face and said, "Madam, you see, my son still has filial piety, and he doesn't forget to come back to see us when he is busy." You see my son said so, can I go back......"
"Go back? Okay, I'll let you go back after ten days in the study. After saying that, Mrs. Xiao floated away.
"Hey! Madame is really reasonable, then I will let people clean up...... Wait, what did Madame just say? Ten more days? In ten days, it will be the New Year, when the construction site will be over, and the son will come back for the New Year. I'm ...... It's been a long time, but you still won't let me go back to sleep. ”
Mrs. Xiao, who walked to the door, glared: "You and I know that my son is coming back, and no one in the house knows, now let you go back, won't my son be exposed?" ”
Yes??? Yes, not really.
"Madam, wait a minute, your eyes are still red......"
In the morning of the same day, there was one more interesting anecdote in the Song Guogong Mansion: the old man who slept in the study for many days wanted to whisper something to his wife early in the morning, but he didn't think that because his wife missed his son Xiao Rui, the couple had a dispute over verbal discord, which led to a failure. Mrs. Xiao finally wiped away her tears and fled, and once again released cruel words, and when she couldn't see her son Xiao Rui again, she went to the palace to see His Majesty in person.
Later, she really went, but on the surface, she was going to see His Majesty, but in fact, she went to visit the queen and visit her future daughter-in-law Xiangcheng. But this matter was spread by outsiders, which shows that there are different opinions.
Xiao Rui, who knew about this, couldn't help but sigh, the old lady was hiding it deeply. This acting skills, throwing off his father a few streets, properly his strength, no wonder he can be named Mrs. Fate.
In the Yanai of Chang'an County, the county commander Liu Renliang received a complaint, and some people claimed that their family members were killed in the street last night and came to beat the drum.
Liu Renliang sent someone to inquire about Wuhou Yamen, General Wuhou frowned, Li Xiao, the king of Anjun was always there yesterday, didn't he say that he would not pursue it? Why did you change your mind this morning?
didn't think much about it, let people go and talk back to Chang'an County truthfully.
After verification, Liu Renliang learned that the person who came to report the case was not the king of Yi'an County, nor was he avenging Li Yi'an. It's the coachman's family.
It turned out that the body of the coachman was sent home early in the morning, and the royal palace of Nghe An County gave a fair sum of money to compensate the matter. The car husband and wife wanted their son to go to the son to inherit his father's business and continue to drive the car to the palace, but they were refused. The coachman is the second son's person, and now that the second son is gone, who still needs you?
Seeing that the people of the royal palace of Nghe An County were not merciful, the coachman's wife and son, out of greed and resentment, wanted to chase down the culprit and get more compensation, so they came to report the case.
Last night, the watchman was summoned again, and the Chang'an County Ya sent someone to the Yi'an County Mansion to inquire, and at the same time asked for the relevant evidence of the case, which was the carriage and horse. In addition, the body of the coachman was carried to the county office for autopsy.
Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An County, said angrily: "What should I do? Didn't people tell the coachman's family not to make trouble? What's going on? ”
