Chapter 26: Anger
The queen took Zhao Jing's hand and motioned for him to sit down.
She glanced sideways at Zhao Shuo and reproached: "Between brothers, why do you need to be so aggressive. Besides, did he say anything wrong about you? Isn't your father's headache every day that the Xunyang River is accumulating and merchant ships can't enter Beijing? You were scolded by your father, but you came to Jing'er to vent your anger. What's more, if you say Jing'er, you will say Jing'er, why do you want to take his father-in-law, then Marquis Lu left home to care for the people, but also for the sake of the saint, but you ridiculed others. In vain, you have read so many books, and this benevolence, righteousness and filial piety have made you read into the belly of a dog. ”
After these words, Zhao Jing's anger disappeared at once, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo turned a blind eye to his provocation and responded to the queen: "The queen mother has taught you a lesson." ”
Taking a sip of tea, he turned to look at Zhao Jing, as if he had no intention of saying: "The second brother is quite taken care of by the queen mother, but now I am worried about my brother, you have been married for several years now, you should have gone to the fief to experience, and you have been grinding so far, if you suddenly go to the fiefdom in the future and cause trouble, but you also have to ask the queen mother to bump for more than a month, and go to relieve you of the siege?" ”
Being so sarcastic by Zhao Shuo, Zhao Jing couldn't sit still for a while, stood up suddenly, pointed at his nose and roared: "Zhao Shuo, don't be ignorant!" ”
The arm touched the palace man holding the teapot on the side, and with a 'clang', the teapot fell to the ground in response, so frightened that the palace person hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”
Zhao Jing was already angry, but now he was burned by the tea, he patted his wet sleeves irritably, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw the palace people kneeling on the ground, trembling and trembling, and the fire in his belly that was held suddenly had an outlet.
He kicked on the shoulder of the palace man, and the palace man leaned back, but for a moment, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”
Zhao Jing glared angrily at the palace people kneeling on the ground, and ordered: "Come on, chop off her hands for this king!" ”
Hearing this, the palace people hurriedly crawled forward, grabbed Zhao Jing's feet and cried: "Your Highness, forgive your sins, the little one will not dare anymore." ”
Zhao Jing looked impatient and shouted, "Don't pull her down quickly." ”
Seeing that Zhao Jing was angry, several eunuchs couldn't care about the palace people's cries and begging for mercy, so they hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her away.
Fang walked two steps and was startled by a shouting and scolding from outside the hall.
"Bastard thing!"
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a bright yellow figure lift the curtain and enter.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Father!"
The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, lowered his eyes and looked at the trembling palace people who were being dragged by the eunuchs, stared at Zhao Jing and shouted: "What do you think of human life?" ”
Zhao Jing knelt down in response: "Father's anger is relieved." ”
Emperor Long Yan was furious: "It's just a few words from you, your face is red, and you are angry with the lives of others, how could I give birth to such a fool as you." ”
Zhao Jing was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong. ”
The queen lowered her eyes and looked at Zhao Jing, who was trembling, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Jing'er is ...... him."
But before she finished speaking, the emperor stared at her and said angrily: "He looks like this now, isn't it your mother's favorite." After listening to two words today, he will kill people at will, if he is provoked behind his back by someone with a heart, will he dare to kill even my father? ”
As soon as these words came out, the queen was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is angry." She rolled her eyes from side to side, and reached out and gently pulled the hem of Zhao Shuo's clothes.
Zhao Shuo lowered his eyes and glanced at the queen and Zhao Jing who were kneeling on the ground, was silent, and arched his hand towards the emperor and said: "Father and emperor are angry, the second brother is still young, it is inevitable that he is younger and more vigorous, and today's festival is a rare gathering, there is no need to be angry for this little thing." ”
The emperor did not respond, stared at Zhao Shuo quietly, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly looked at Zhao Jing: "Don't go to today's family banquet, go back to the house and think about it behind closed doors." ”
With that, he got up and walked straight out of the hall.
Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jing's face was so frightened that his face turned pale, he sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and exhaled heavily, the fine sweat on his forehead shining in the light of the candlelight.
The queen and Lu Wanrou hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and straighten his sleeves for him.
Zhao Shuo lowered his eyes and glanced at the three people who were snuggling up to each other, and finally left without saying a word.
The night is like ink, and the moon is in the sky
The whole capital is shrouded in a festive atmosphere, with every household putting up lights and laughing.
Qian Mansion, located next to East Street, is also a harmonious and happy place at the moment.
Qian Ming'an and Su Shi stood in front of the mansion together, and when they saw the three people walking down from the carriage in front of the door, they immediately smiled and stepped forward together.
"Lord Lin, you can be regarded as here." Qian Ming'an said to Lin Shao, the secretary of Dali Temple.
Lin Shao returned the salute: "Lord Qian, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, many people on the street are shopping for lanterns, and the carriage is delayed on the road, so it's late." He turned around and introduced the man and woman standing behind him one by one: "This is the dog and the." ”
Su Shi looked at the man casually, and his Danfeng eyes were full of smiles, "The concubine often hears the master mention Ling Gongzi, and now she can see it, and she really shows a talent." ”
"Madame smiled, he can have today, and it is also the care of Lord Qian." Lin Shao's wife, Rong Shi, said with a smile.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they moved into the house, and when Su Shi walked to the door, he bowed his head and ordered Wu's mother: "Go and invite Miss to the front hall." ”
In other words, after Qian Ming'an took Qianxi Pavilion to walk in the rain that day, he reconciled with the Su family, which was a happy thing, and then although Qian Xiting also studied and took charge of the Su family's business as she imagined, she did not fall behind in this matter of governing the river.
Her move really worried the Su family, although she couldn't refute the words of Qian Xiting to learn how to govern the river that day, but a woman went to govern the river, which still made her a little resistant.
Su Shi thought about it all day long, how to get rid of Qian Xiting's idea, but in view of the previous quarrel in the ancestral hall, she didn't dare to confront Qian Xiting.
pondered day by day, and finally let her come up with a way, that is, let Qian Xiting marry as soon as possible, if she has her in-laws in charge, and has children in the future, and is busy, she will no longer be able to think about these things such as going down the river to control the water.
After discussing with Qian Ming'an, she really let her find a good candidate.
That is the only son of Lin Shao's family in Dali Temple, Lin Shao was originally the assassin of Qiongzhou, and was transferred to Kyoto to serve as Dali Temple Secretary a few years ago, and he and Qian Ming'an happened to be classmates and fellow villagers.
