Chapter X: Reinstatement of Officials
Liang's mother was quite dissatisfied when she left, after all, Ye Qingyou's last sentence was very unpleasant.
Ye Qingyou sat on the pestle in the courtyard, her heart was as cold as ice, why couldn't she escape this curse? Thousands of hiding, or to be discovered by King Luoning!
"It's all to blame on the slave maid, if the slave and maid had burned the letter earlier, there wouldn't be so much to do!" Chuntang has been babbling since last night and has been blaming himself.
Ye Qingyou shook his head, "When everyone is negligent, it's because I'm stupid, and I can't think of a better excuse at that time." ”
"So what do we do now?" Chuntang asked, "Do you want the slave to go to Uncle Dong now?" Hand the previous words to King Luo Ning again? ”
"It's too late." Ye said lightly, "Right now, I can only hope that King Luoning is not in the palace, or see that Lord Xi wants to donate silver to buy officials for the general, and I don't mention my letter at all." ”
This idea is self-defeating, but it is not impossible.
The master and servant waited for another whole day, but there was still no news from the front.
In the evening, when the mother-in-law delivered the meal, Ye Qing hurriedly asked, "Has the county lord of Xi come back from outside?" ”
"I'll be back in the evening." The mother-in-law was very sure.
"Were you unhappy when you came back? What did you say? Ye Qingyou asked carefully.
"The county lord was very happy when he returned, and he specially asked the kitchen to prepare wine and wait for the general to come back and have a drink. I heard that the officer was reinstated and survived the pass of King Luoning. ”
"Got through?"
"That's right! Today's kitchen was also rewarded, and the old slave left you a copy! ”
The mother-in-law handed the basket to Chuntang, "By the way, the county lord promised you to go and offer incense to the aunt of the Yue family, originally I asked the girl Cuimei to pass the word, but the girl has been busy and can't leave, so let the old slave bring the news to you." ”
Ye Qingyou didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief.
Could it be that the accident she was expecting had happened? Otherwise, how could she have promised her to incense her mother? I'm afraid that she should go to the Hades Palace to reunite with her mother in person......
The mother-in-law chattered a few words and left quickly.
Chuntang was happy and immediately put the meal on the table, "Lady, you can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!" ”
Ye Qingyou pursed his lips and smiled, "If the general is willing to agree to reconcile and leave, I am willing to donate this half of the dowry to King Luoning." ”
Chuntang looked left and right to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
Ye Qingyou stuck out her tongue, and Chuntang also took the opportunity to have a delicious meal......
At this time, Yuwen Yan looked at the thick silver taels sent by the Lord of Xi, and said with compassion, "This little lady's family background is really rich. "But it's for such a bastard to buy an official.
Chen Jian counted with his subordinates, "Six thousand taels, a lot of money, Your Highness, you can be regarded as accepting bribes, right?" ”
"If everyone is as sensible as Ye Niangzi, is this king still worried about military expenses?" Yuwen Yan took the silver and was also weird.
Chen Jian sighed, "She is also quite bold, she dares to say that you saved her?" If it weren't for the humble saying that the letter had been received, the county lord of Xi would not have killed her when he went back? ”
Chen Jian listened to the chatter of the county lord of Xi today, and thought that this person would be furious. Unexpectedly, this ancestor was surprisingly calm, not only accepted the silver, but also reinstated Yin Wenzhao to his official post.
Yuwen Yan glanced at him, "Find a reason to take Yin Wenzhao's position again!" ”
Chen Jian: ???
What's the fuss you're doing?
"Doesn't she have half of her dowry?" Yuwen Yan snorted coldly.
Chen Jian was chilled when he saw him like this, "If you are really angry, it is better to kill a few quickly, anyway, there are many people locked up in the cell......"
"The princess's mansion has arranged a flower party on September 18, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has sent you an invitation post." The soldier suddenly came to the door to make a report.
Yuwen Yan didn't even look at it, "Don't go." ”
"You're still going to the temple this year?" Chen Jian said.
"I go every year, why make an exception this year?" Yuwen Yan will go to the temple to worship the benefactor on September 18 every year.
"But Your Majesty still wants to go hunting on September 17."
"Let them go first. Even if this king goes on the last day, he will definitely be the leader, so why be anxious. "Yuwen Yan is so inflated, but no one dares to say that he is arrogant. In previous years, the results of hunting all the princes together were not as many prey as his alone.
Chen Jian didn't say anything more, and immediately arranged the follow-up itinerary.
Ye Qing was quietly bored for a few days, and finally waited until September 18, went to the front yard early in the morning to greet Lord Xi, and left with Chuntang.
Yin Wenzhao was dissatisfied when he saw her leave the house, "Why did you let her out?" She has a lot on her mind, don't play any tricks. ”
"No matter how thoughtful she is, she is also a powerless little lady, can she still make flowers? The general is free to take care of the old lady, I just cleared a few of her people, and she was unhappy, who is in charge of this house? ”
Lord Xi has been very happy these days.
Since she was reinstated as Yin Wenzhao and the two gang of Yin Wenzhao officials, the power of the Hu family has plummeted in the mansion.
Yin Wenzhao suddenly said nothing, "Mother came over from a hard life, and I hope the county lord will be more considerate, but you must not believe that woman, she doesn't have a word of truth in her mouth!" ”
"If you don't tell the truth, can you still talk nonsense about the death day of your biological mother? And Liang's mother also inquired, she does go to the temple to worship on this day every year. "Lord Xi didn't want to mention Ye Qingyou at all.
Yin Wenzhao saw that she was displeased, and immediately praised, "Don't worry, the county lord only has you in his heart." When the limelight passes, I will drive her to the Zhuangzi outside Beijing, and I will not leave her in the house to obstruct your eyes. ”
"That's the one who donated money to the fourth cousin, do you dare to take it away at will?" Lord Xi reprimanded on his lips, but his heart was sweet.
"As long as he doesn't come to provoke the county lord, I can tolerate her, if she dares to trouble the county lord, no matter who offends her, I won't let her ......"
The two were tired of kissing, and went out into the carriage and went straight to the princess's mansion.
Ye Qingyou was also in the carriage, but he didn't have any joy.
In addition to Chuntang by his side, Lord Xi also sent two mothers-in-law and four family members to follow.
Chuntang has been stacking paper ingots, looking at Ye Qingyou from time to time, she wanted to speak several times and stopped, and she was afraid that she would say something wrong.
"Squeak".
The carriage stopped.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingyou lifted the curtain and asked hurriedly.
The servants looked, "The wheels crushed the stones and shattered a lot." ”
"How long will it take to fix that?"
"At least an hour."
"Burning incense is in a hurry, and you can't ...... past noon," Chuntang said busily.
"Forget it, let's climb up on foot and leave two people to fix the carriage." Ye Qingyou jumped out of the carriage and wanted to leave.
The mother-in-law didn't want to climb along, but they couldn't say no?
"I'm afraid it's not enough for the two of them to stay, let Brother Wencheng accompany the lady up the mountain, right?"
Although Ye Qingyou was unwilling, he could only nod. She asked Chuntang to leave five taels of silver for her mother-in-law, "Don't eat and drink at lunchtime." ”
"Thank you, lady."
Ye rolled up her skirt lightly and climbed up slowly.
Wen Cheng immediately leaned over to her side and said, "Uncle Dong is already waiting for you on the mountain." ”
