"Grandma, Yuqing doesn't care about those so-called reputations, Yuqing is on the right side, whoever wants to chew the root of his tongue behind his back is to make an ostomy for himself. Yuqing also wants to know which one my father and mother are, and why he left Yuqing in the villa for more than ten years and ignored it. Yuqing looked at the grandmother and said calmly, but was reprimanded by the grandmother.

"Miss, you are confused, how can you say that about your father, if he is still alive, how sad it should be, you are very unfilial."

"Don't do anything there, don't worry about it there, hurry up and tell the truth to the official, to put it mildly, for the sake of the new emperor's great cause, we must find out whether her surname is Yan or not, and at the very least, we don't want to be affected by you. Jing'er and his aunt, you know and suspect this, why don't you stand up and report them? The seventh aunt pressed forward step by step, and also pulled up Jing'er's aunt as a raft, and the angry Jing'er's aunt had a sore liver, and scolded this seventh aunt who couldn't figure out anything in her heart. Why didn't she want to think about it, if Yu Qingzhen was caught and beheaded, whether she was connected or not, it was not the two mouths of officers and soldiers. The twenty taels of silver in the imperial court may be the money to buy a life.

"Her seventh aunt, when Yuqing and her grandmother came, they should have gone to the villa to prepare the case. More than ten years have passed, and who can remember it for so long. Besides, almost everyone in the villa knows about this matter, everyone might as well recall and recall, what Yuqing's surname may be, and which one is her father. Aunt Jing'er pulled everyone in, causing a gasp and a baptism of white eyes.

"Dead old woman, at this time, you should tell the truth, is reputation more important than being beheaded." An entourage pushed and shoved the grandmother and scolded him.

"Wait, since a lot of people know about this, let's interrogate a few more. Bring the old farmer's wife to the house, and you can find an older person to change places and ask, old mamma, the official will interrogate you in front of them, and you will take good care of the little farmer. The soldier felt that he was very clever and gave the order. Soon the old farmer's wife was escorted into the house by the official, and an older woman was also pulled to the side by the official.

"Old mama, you can say it now, remember that the official can't rub sand in his eyes, you'd better tell the truth, even if this little farmer's surname is Yan, as long as she hasn't done anything to endanger the court, she won't necessarily be beheaded, but if the official finds out that you are lying, your head is still not attached to your neck." The soldier looked at the grandmother seductively and threatenedly and said.

"Miss Yuqing, Mama can't help it. Official, Yuqing was born in a town hundreds of miles away, but she is the child of the master of the Sixth Courtyard. ”

"What? The child born by the sixth master outside is not an illegitimate daughter. Mama's words were like throwing a big firecracker in the crowd, and dozens of women instantly talked about it, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

"Shut up for me, you are immortal, you said carefully, since it is a child born outside, why don't you come back early to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors? Is it good to have a reputation as an illegitimate daughter? ”

"Official, here and there are more than 100 miles of land, Miss Yuqing is a serious lady. If it weren't for the plague there, and the young lady's mother's family would have died of illness, we would never have returned here in our lives. I won't ask the young lady to bear the name of the guest villa for so many years. ”

"Grandma, I don't understand what kind of logic you have, the six courtyards are not poor, and the wives of the six courtyards are not jealous, why can't they come back to be a concubine, so they have an identity." The seventh aunt spoke again, and all the women who listened to her looked at her unpleasantly.

"If you don't understand, it's a fart, just understand. Official, you are also an official from a big family, if our Miss Yuqing doesn't come back, it will be everyone's lady, although the sixth master can't always be with us, but it is normal for traders to leave home to make money. When I returned here, my Miss Yuqing became a concubine, and her status was short. The sixth master and Miss Yuqing's mother really love each other, how can they let their children become concubines. "The more Mama Grandma talks, the smoother it becomes, and occasionally it is the tone of being an errand for a big family.

"Oh, the sixth master here is dead, and her mother's family is also dead over there, and it's not that what you say is dead without proof."

"Her seventh aunt, the name of the person is still there, the official can go to the town a hundred miles away to inquire, and it is not the plague that makes all the people there die. You are so aggressive, it's not to occupy the dozen or so rooms in the sixth courtyard. A few days ago, the young lady and the two young masters were still alive and well, but you shouted that they were all dead, and discussed with her aunt that half of the family should be divided into six courtyards. Many people in the villa came to see the excitement of this matter, and all of you also said that my wife had half a lie. "Grandma mentioned the matter of the seventh aunt making trouble in the six courtyards, and immediately someone met to talk about the quarrel between the two courtyards. At this time, the person who interrogated the wife of the farmer and the mother-in-law returned.

"Boss, the owner's wife said that Miss Yuqing was born in the outer room of the master of the sixth courtyard, when the sixth master went out to pick goods, was separated by heavy rain in a town, and also got acquainted with the daughter of a local grocer, and the two of them secretly communicated with each other and became pregnant. Later, the sixth master wanted to marry the grocer's daughter into the door, but the woman would never agree to be a concubine, saying that she didn't want her child to become a concubine and be a dwarf for the rest of her life. The old owner's wife also said that for this secret, the lord of the sixth courtyard was bankrupt and sealed his mouth with 5,000 taels of silver. It's all in the accounts of this lodge, and we can check it. ”

"Well, she's a transparent woman." The head of the soldier thought that he was a concubine, and it was even more difficult to get out of the house and get ahead than his concubine. I couldn't help but feel sympathy and admiration, and I already believed in the identity of this poor little farmer. Although she is not beheaded, the reputation of an illegitimate daughter is worse than death. He looked back at Yuqing, who was twitching his head and shoulders down, crying like that.

"Boss, the widow said, I don't know, but the two people in the Sixth Courtyard are better to Miss Yuqing than to themselves, and they are simply pampered."

"Well, the official speculated that the sixth old man's guilt was also compensated for this daughter, and the favor is understandable." The head of the soldier substituted for himself again, lamenting how his father was not so affectionate and righteous.

"It's still not right, when I remember the plague, the imperial court was very strict, how could you come to our villa." The seventh aunt spoke again.

"She is the seventh aunt, I have been walking on the road for almost half a year with Miss Yuqing in my arms, and the plague has long been over by the time I arrived at the villa. Even so, Lao Langzhong checked and checked for our master and servant to make sure that we were not infected with the disease before allowing us to stay, otherwise, you think that the five thousand taels of silver were blown by a strong wind. Alas! This is fate, if there is an old slave who still wants to go back to find his clansmen, how can he always live here. Miss, the old slave is sorry for your mother and sorry for you. Speaking of which, the grandmother hid her face and cried bitterly, and she was embarrassed for a while, and it was not easy for the little farmer to live.

"Mama, Yuqing is grateful to you for escorting me all the way to my father's side. Yuqing doesn't care about any reputation, you will be Yuqing's grandmother in the future, and Yuqing will provide for you in the elderly. Yuqing's eyes were also red, and she threw herself into the arms of the grandmother, and the master and servant cried together.

"Okay, since the old imperial doctor also knows what happened back then, then this matter will be turned over. The old imperial doctor has heard of it, he is an old-fashioned person, and he will never dare to hide anything. He didn't have the guts or the responsibility. Anything else has not been reported? ”

"Official, I reported it, where is my silver?" The seventh aunt really didn't look at the fire anymore.

"Fart silver, you have delayed the official for so long, and the official should be grateful if he doesn't ask you for the crime, and you are verbose and beheaded. Who is disturbing the emperor with such unclear things, and they will all be beheaded. The soldier said fiercely, he remembered the hardships of his concubine, and hated this seventh uncle. Qi Boniang stepped on the sore spot of the soldier's head, and there was still a chance to take advantage there.

Dozens of women and children no one dared to speak anymore, there was no right or wrong thing, and they were angry and the officials were cut off and their heads were cut off, and they couldn't even find a place to redress their grievances.

"Don't report it anymore? That official would like to warn you a few words, after the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, there will be a new world. Wait for those who have the money to contribute and the power to obey the court, and don't have any crooked thoughts. In order to celebrate the accession of the new emperor, you must show sincerity, and later there will be officials who will distribute the silver according to the head, and you can do it yourself. Let's go, go to Yuanwai Villa. The head of the soldier glanced at Yuqing sympathetically and took the lead in getting on the horse and walking out of the villa, and after a while, the court soldiers outside the gate also left, and with the closure of the gate of the villa, everyone's heart finally returned to their stomachs.

Dozens of women also dispersed in a hurry, talking about Yuqing's illegitimate daughter all the way, and it was so lively.

"Her seventh aunt, this dead sixth child really dares to do anything, and even dares to raise an outer room, and even has a child. The sixth daughter-in-law didn't know stupidly, and she also raised children for others. ”

"Humph! I used to open a broken grocery store, and every year I used to go out and fool around under the pretext of picking goods. No wonder I went early and returned early in the past few years, and it turned out that the other side died. Man, there aren't many good things. ”

"Hey, can you take care of big things?"

"Her seventh uncle, you just stop, there are still officials in the court, our small villa is not as big as the official of the yamen."

"Hey, this is true, I haven't heard anyone talk about it on the street, and the new emperor is also a concubine."

"Shhhh We didn't hear anything. When they came, the two complaining mothers-in-law said that they were beheaded when they were beheaded, which is really a pig's lack of memory. The voices of the women could not be heard, but Yuqing and the others were already on their way to the house of the two beheaded mothers-in-law.

Far away, I heard the suppressed cries and grievances of the yard.

"I can't live this day, my mother-in-law just muttered a few words, and her head was cut off."

"Sister-in-law, this is to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, catching up with my mother's unlucky voice. Today, they are holding back their strength to cut off a few heads to shock people, so that the timid and afraid can bite each other. Fortunately, I didn't find someone surnamed Yan here, otherwise I wouldn't know how many people would be implicated. ”

"Sister-in-law, you can see through it as an afterthought. Now that the new emperor is enthroned in the ceremony, red and white things are not allowed in the first three and seven days after the first seven days, what should we do? ”

"Sister-in-law, let's do something special, seeing that the New Year is coming, my mother-in-law's body can't be parked forever." Yuqing, Ye Xuan, and Zhen'er walked into the courtyard together, and Yuqing took it and said.

"Master Yuqing, it's okay to be cremated, but last time there were too many corpses to do, and there were no serious ashes after death."

"Sister-in-law, a few of us discussed this on the way, the owner has an idea, and we think it's okay. We asked a carpenter to make a small coffin for the ashes, and the meaning remained the same. Those who have officials and wealth can also protect future generations. Ye Xuan recovered from the fright of her father's concubine and said eloquently.

"Yes, the silver that made the small coffin came out of the villa this time, and the notice of the imperial court has not yet been conveyed here, so I hurriedly called the old man to settle down." Jane added.

"Sister-in-law, the owner of the village is right, hurry up and change her life clothes to send her on the road. Yuqing Zhuang Master, the matter of the small coffin will be bothering you. ”

"It's easy for a family to carry a clean person, otherwise when the official document of the imperial court comes, the corpse doesn't know how long it will stop." Walking out of this courtyard, Ye Xuan sighed.

"Ye Xuan, this is also human nature, Zhen'er, you are urging the matter of the little coffin. The silver will be given according to the big coffin, and the New Year is almost over, and some subsidies will be given to the craftsman in disguise. ”

"Okay, I told them when I passed by there just now, and I guess it will be done in the afternoon. The official documents of the imperial court may not be delivered to us so quickly. ”

"Bang, the court issued an official document, and someone from Qi's Villa came to receive the order!" As soon as Zhen'er's words fell, a gong sounded outside the villa.
