Marrying Uncle v. 73
Now, the Li family is seeing that it can't be done, and Shen Kuo, the cousin of Mrs. Du's husband, is being reused by Emperor Qianxing, and is about to sit in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mrs. Du feels that she can take revenge on Yunzhu, anyway, the uncle of the great country and the Pan family don't like Yunzhu very much.
The banquet hall was so big, and the little maids were waiting outside, so as not to get in the way of crowding inside.
Mrs. Du Shao picked up the seven-point full tea bowl and walked behind Yunzhu, before Yunzhu found out about her arrival, she pretended to stumble, and the tea bowl in her hand hit Yunzhu's shoulder, and the warm tea instantly wet Yunzhu's front and back.
Mrs. Du panicked: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not doing it on purpose, I just wanted to give Mrs. Tai tea." ”
With the exclamation of the surrounding female guests and her apology, the whole hall fell silent, and some people didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they actually stood up and stretched their necks to look this way.
Seeing this scene, Forsythia quickly ran in, took out a handkerchief and quickly helped the master to dip the tea from his clothes.
Some people gloat, others wonder what Yunzhu will do.
When Yun Zhu recognized Mrs. Du Shao, she knew that her bowl of tea was deliberate.
The Pan family next to him was already appeasing Mrs. Du, and everyone knew that she didn't mean it, and Yun Zhu would never mind.
Yunzhu smiled, pressed the handkerchief in Forsythia's hand, and whispered, "You go and hold her." ”
Forsythia was holding back a big fire in his heart, just waiting for this, he stood up straight when he heard the words, grabbed Mrs. Du's arm and twisted it here.
Forsythia has a lot of strength, Mrs. Du Shao only felt that her arm was about to break, and before she could call someone, Forsythia clasped the back of her neck with her other hand and pressed her head down in front of Yunzhu.
Yunzhu, who refused to pour tea for her mother-in-law, finally lifted the tea on the table at this time, and elegantly aimed the spout at the bun on the top of Mrs. Du's head, and slowly poured the tea.
The ladies covered their mouths in shock.
Pan's face changed, and he reprimanded Yun Zhu and said, "It's just nonsense, don't let go of people quickly!" ”
Yunzhu ignored her, and when a pot of tea was poured, and Mrs. Du Shao's black hair and shoulders were soaked, she put down the tea bowl, and said to Mrs. Du Shao and to others: "It's okay to be careless, but if you accidentally offend someone who can't be offended, you can only bear the fate of being careless, and everyone knows that I have never been a living bodhisattva." ”
The hall was silent.
Yunzhu looked at Mrs. Shangshu, who rushed to hear the news, and said with a smile: "There was an accident, I have to go back to the house to change my clothes, so I can't stay to watch the ceremony." ”
Mrs. Shangshu looked at the other Mrs. Du Shao, who was sitting on the ground with her chest and crying because her appearance was even more untidy, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only send Yunzhu out.
Yunzhu didn't send anyone to inform Cao Xun, because she took revenge on the spot, and she didn't have anything to be angry about, but felt comfortable leaving the place of entertainment.
It's just that she left a little earlier and missed a good show.
Just when the welcoming team of Zhuang Yuanlang arrived in front of the Hu Mansion, the sound of firecrackers had just fallen, and a team of people wearing linen and filial piety actually turned around from the other end of the alley, taking advantage of the fact that the people were looking at the groom official, this group of people in white squeezed in unexpectedly, and then rushed into the front yard of the Hu Mansion, howling and crying: "Hu Bochang, you murdered the heroes and corrupted the law, and now even my son has been killed tragically by you, I still have to do anything with this life, but before I die, I will pull you, I will expose your guilt in front of everyone, and let you die in ruin!" ”
Chapter 65 "I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that about you."
There are six departments in the imperial court, namely officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, each of which has a Shangshu, which is in charge of the country's military and political affairs and is directly responsible to the emperor.
The six Shangshu will meet almost every day, regardless of whether they deal with each other or not, as long as they don't tear their faces openly, whoever has a red and white wedding banquet will definitely give invitations to the other five Shangshu.
Therefore, there was an uproar in the front court, and Guo Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also came out to check with several colleagues.
After the Changyuan case last year, the first emperor was a little disappointed with the officials of the criminal department, demoted the secretary of the criminal department, and then transferred Guo Hong, who was also the governor of Shanxi at that time, to Beijing.
Guo Hong, who entered Beijing, did not obviously make friends with any Beijing officials, and was conscientiously in charge of the Criminal Department, and did not interfere with other matters.
Several Shangshu all had long or short beards, and their bearings were majestic, and as soon as they came out, they suppressed most of the guests' discussions.
The woman in white who was kneeling on the ground with a spirit card recognized Hu Bochang, the secretary of the military department in a red robe, and guessed that the official position of Guo Hong and others would not be lower than him according to Hu Bochang's attitude, and the woman in white cried even more fiercely.
Hu Bochang really wanted to tie up this group of people to the firewood room, but he had missed the best opportunity in front of everyone, and now he made a move, which seemed to be weak-hearted.
Thus, the woman in white was able to present her grievances.
Only then did everyone know that the woman's surname was Liu, and her husband Tang Changhe had been the commander of Dinghaiwei in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province seven years ago, and Hu Bochang was still serving as a governor in Zhejiang at that time. In order to resist the Japanese invaders, Hu Bochang personally recruited a group of local sea bandits, and turned those bandits into regular court sailors.
Among them, there is a bandit leader named Chu Xiao, who is quite capable, and has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in resisting the Japanese, and is deeply used by Hu Bochang.
But Chu Xiao is also a veritable bully, he is not bound by military regulations to cause trouble to the local people, Liu's husband Tang Changhe is really unbearable, not only to stop Chu Xiao from bullying the people, but also to go to Hu Bochang many times to expose Chu Xiao's crimes.
According to Liu, Hu Bochang accepted a lot of bribes from Chu Xiao and repeatedly helped cover them up, and later, it was Chu Xiao who took advantage of the attack of the Japanese and united with Hu Bochang to secretly murder Tang Changhe and blame the Japanese invaders. Tang Changhe died, Chu Xiao became more and more rampant, and even broke into the Tang family many times to forcibly occupy the Liu family. Liu originally wanted to die, but he chose to live in the world when he thought of his son who had not yet grown up.
Tang Zi is getting bigger and bigger, knowing that his mother is persecuted by Chu Xiao, he impulsively went to assassinate Chu Xiao, and was seriously injured by Chu Xiao.
In the face of Liu's accusations, Hu Bochang was not anxious or angry, sighed regretfully, looked at Liu sympathetically and said: "Lingzi died of illness, I can empathize with the grief of your white-haired people sending black-haired people, but I have been a governor in Zhejiang for three years, during which I have never heard of any illegal actions by Chu Xiao, let alone received any accusations from Tang Changhe, and then there is Tang Changhe, he died on the battlefield of resistance against the Japanese, and he was a hero who sacrificed his life for the country, not as you said." After that, I went to Beijing to take up my post, and I have no way of knowing if you and Chu Xiao have any other grievances. ”
Liu spat at the past: "Chu Xiao has been rampant and domineering in Ningbo Mansion all these years, and it is because of your shelter in Beijing that the incident has not happened, do you dare to say that you don't know?" It's just that he accepted a bribe from him and colluded with him! ”
Hu Bochang shook his head: "I have no contact with him after I return to Beijing, you are all bloody, today is my granddaughter's happy day, please leave as soon as possible." ”
The head of the family spoke, and the Hu family's family members immediately rushed up and brutally pushed the Liu family and the others out.
Hu Bochang no longer paid attention to that side, smiled bitterly and bowed his hand to a circle of guests to make amends, and then invited everyone back to eat.
Cao Xun followed the male guests and prepared to go inside, when Guo Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly spoke: "The Liu family has traveled thousands of miles from Ningbo Mansion to Beijing to avenge her grievances, no matter whether she has evidence or not, this official cannot sit idly by as the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”
Hu Bochang's thick eye bags sank a little more, looked at him and said, "What do you mean by Lord Guo?" ”
Guo Hong arched his hand at him and said, "I will take Liu and the others back to the Criminal Department, so that she will not make a noise and ruin the happy event in your house." ”
Since he said this, Hu Bochang didn't expect to be able to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, then Master Lao Guo will thoroughly investigate the case and return my innocence." ”
Guo Hong: "It should be like this. ”
After speaking, he passed through the narrow intersection of the guests, and said to Liu and the others, who were rudely detained: "I am Guo Hong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, are you willing to go with me to the Criminal Department to present the case?" ”
Liu burst into tears: "The women are willing." ”
Guo Hong looked at the burly and stout family members again, and his eyes became cold: "Don't let go yet?" ”
The family members tilted their heads to look at Hu Bochang, and when they received the master's look, they let go.
With the departure of Guo Hong, Liu and others, there is only a welcoming team and a group of guests left in the Hu Mansion.
Xi Niang received the eyes of the manager of Hu Mansion, and shouted happily and happily.
Chen Dingzhi's smile could no longer return to his previous nature, if he had a choice, he really wanted to turn around and leave.
.
In the sound of blowing and blowing, Zhuang Yuanlang still took the bride.
A group of officialdom spirits should only have no accidents, and they should eat and drink until the wedding banquet ends smoothly.
Hu Bochang sent a few Shangshu and Cao Xun and others out.
Although Cao Xun's official position is high, standing in the pile of Shangshu is a junior, he consciously walked behind, and after going out, he watched Hu Bochang say goodbye to several Shangshu, while paying attention to the courtyard, waiting for his little lady.
Cao Shao stood behind his brother.
At this time, Pan and other female dependents came out.
Cao Xun looked around and asked Pan, "Why can't you see Yunzhu?" ”
Pan didn't believe that he didn't know, and only said that Mrs. Du Shao accidentally spilled tea on Yun Zhu, and Yun Zhu left the table early, omitting the others.
So many people watched, as a mother-in-law, she couldn't criticize her daughter-in-law in public.
Cao Xun seems to believe this explanation.
Cao Shao's face was a little dark, because he knew the old grudge between Yunzhu and Mrs. Du Shao, and naturally knew that Mrs. Du Shao must have done it on purpose.
didn't want Yunzhu to suffer this grievance in vain, and on the way back, Cao Shao whispered to his brother about the incident back then.
He just wanted his brother to comfort Yunzhu and have a clear conscience.
Cao Xun nodded: "Got it." ”
After returning home, Cao Xun changed into a jade-white brocade robe and went to the backyard to see Yunzhu.
Yunzhu has already changed into her middle clothes and is ready to rest.
Cao Xun sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her and asked, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me if you left the table early?" ”
Yunzhu smiled: "You can't leave, and it's not a big deal." ”
Cao Xun: "That person is too careless, whether the tea is hot or not, does it hurt you?" ”
Yun Zhu was slightly surprised, and then guessed that he should have only heard the first half, and said, "Wen, it's okay." ”
Cao Xun was silent for a moment and touched her head: "I said that I would accompany you to visit my father-in-law, why are you still lying down?" ”
Yunzhu: "I don't know when you'll be back, you should be quite tired from socializing, why don't you rest for a while and then go." ”
Cao Xun pointed to the robe on his body: "Go now, or you have to wear it again." ”
Yunzhu had no choice but to call Forsythia Pomegranate in and serve her to change her clothes.
The carriage was ready, and both husband and wife got into it.
Because it was summer, there was a fan in the car at any time, Cao Xun picked it up and habitually helped her fan the wind.
Yunzhu closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Cao Xun: "Do you want to lean on me?" ”
The little lady smiled lightly: "No, it's not far." ”
Cao Xun: "Hmm. ”
His fan still fanned all the way.
When she arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, Gu Min heard the news and came out to pick up people, and after nodding to Cao Xun, she smiled and grabbed Yunzhu's arm: "Father's injury has healed, but he can't move yet." ”
Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them came to the front of the main hall, Meng was helping Li Yong to slowly turn the corridor, Cao Xun saw it, and said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are too polite, we should go over, father-in-law is important to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to move around." ”
Li Yong said with a smile: "My injured shoulder is not a leg, these few steps are not in the way, today Hu Mansion married a daughter, you just came from there?" ”
Cao Xun: "I went back home and changed my clothes." ”
Yunzhu had already held her father's other side, and after her father sat down, she glanced at Gu Min, and Gu Min left first.
Yunzhu looked at his father's shoulder: "You take off your robe, I want to see it with my own eyes." ”
Li Yong said embarrassedly: "It's all big girls, what to see." ”
Yunzhu was dissatisfied: "You are my father, let me see what's wrong?" It's not uncommon for other people to let me see me. ”
Cao Xun kept a smile.
Li Yong couldn't resist his daughter, so he asked his wife to help untie his robe, revealing his injured shoulder.
