Yipin Tianxia

The palace, the imperial study.

Gao Xian was lost in thought for a long time before he asked, "Do you believe what she said?"

Tong Chaoyi knelt there, the sweat on the tip of her nose was about to break out, and she answered after a while, "I... didn't believe it at first. But that day, that day, I saw the princess walking out of the fire..."

He suddenly made up his mind, and suppressed his voice calmly, "I'm a warrior, so I prefer to believe in facts."

Gao Xian turned around and nodded slightly, "Well said. You have worked hard too, let's go down first."

Tong Chaoyi hesitated for a moment, then left without asking any questions after thinking about it.

And Gao Xian let out a long breath, not sure if it was trouble or worry.Picking up a memorial in his hand, after reading it for a long time, he ordered someone to pass He Xian into the palace.

He Xian didn't know what was going on, and after rushing into the palace, he saw that the emperor gave him a memorial from the censor, "What do you think, Ai Qing?"

This is from Ouyang Kang.As the chief general, he ignored the military discipline, left the army and ran back to see his wife and son, it was really outrageous.

He Xian's heart moved, he asked him to write the censor's excerpt, and the emperor asked him this, did he make a decision?

After thinking for a while, he chose his words cautiously, "The censor is right, but the Jiashan county horse is still young, and besides, his husband and wife are separated, and the child is not there even when the child is born, so it is understandable to be anxious to come back for a while."

Sure enough, the emperor nodded, "Yes, the situation is excusable, but the crime is unforgivable. Let's discuss this matter when we go to court tomorrow."

He Xian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. With such words, I am afraid that Ouyang Kang will make a lot of contributions.also be punished.Since he is guilty, his son will be safe.

Young, justifiable, on the surface it is a good word, but the subtext is just ignorant.

It seems that the emperor is still very concerned about the rumors about the princess's sorcerer, but it's not easy to bring it up by himself. After this matter is dealt with, he will go back and create momentum underneath, so let's bring it up again.

See him respectfully leave.The emperor's eyes seemed a bit complicated.After a while, I asked, "He has been with me for 20 years, maybe?"

Taiping stood aside, lowered his eyes and answered, "By March, it will be 20 years."

The emperor's eyes fell on the unknown.He said softly with emotion, "20 years, only one month away..."

But Tong Chaoyi left the palace and returned to the guard. Mrs. Tan asked him timidly, "My lord, can I go home now? I told the emperor everything, the emperor won't kill me, right?"

Tong Chaoyi glanced at her. "You go."

Mrs. Tan was overjoyed, thanked her repeatedly, and hurried away without daring to say anything.

She will never come to this capital again.

Within a few days, when she finally returned home, she walked in and saw Lu Xing was there, with a smile on her face. "I just said it's all right, the government just asked me to ask some questions. It's all right."

Fortunately, Tong Chaoyi took her away that day in secret, without saying anything, and passed by as soon as he wanted to coax her.However, Lu Xing sat in the hall without moving, only watching her with a gloomy expression.

Mrs. Tan felt that something was wrong, and when she took a closer look, she suddenly found that there was another person in the room, and it was the lingering Lu Dashi!

Qianqian exclaimed, she took half a step back, but then rushed forward again and said, "Master, please don't believe what he says, this slave is used to deceiving people!"

Lu Xing looked at her, "You don't even know what he told me, how do you know he's lying to me?"

Mrs. Tan was a little speechless when asked, and wanted to explain with a smile on her face, but Lu Xing suddenly asked, "I heard that King Ping has never consummated with you?"

Mrs. Tan's face changed slightly, "Master, why do you ask this? We are all very old..."

But Lu Xing didn't let her go, "A man of his age can live in an indiscriminate way? I just ask you, yes or no."

Mrs. Tan was frightened by his harsh tone, and she couldn't help avoiding her eyes.

But Lu Dashi said in a strange way, "Ma'am, you don't have to pretend anymore. King Ping has never had a consummation with you, and you were not perfect when you married Master Lu. You are not very old at your age. Why did you forget that when you were 16 years old, you were the wife of a military master?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Tan's face turned pale, and she said indiscriminately, "I don't know that surnamed Chu at all, don't make false accusations!"

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.

Sure enough, Lu Xing's face became more gloomy, and the veins on his forehead burst out, "If you haven't done it, how can you still remember the man's last name?"

Seeing that it was irreparable, Mrs. Tan simply said with a straight face, "If the master wants to wrong me, I can't help it. But you were not a young man when you married me, you were just a half-way couple, and we lived together. As long as I wholeheartedly Why do you care about the past?"

Lu Xing was so angry that his face turned dark again and again, and it took him a long time to hold back his words, "Bitch!"

Mrs. Tan was furious, "What are you scolding me for?"

Lu Xing raised his hand and gave her a hard slap in the face, "You said you were devoted to me. Do you think I don't know about the private houses you have built up behind your back? I thought you were born as a lady of the official family, at least you know the etiquette, justice and shame. It’s so unbearable, and you’ve been making trouble for me all day long! Do you know how I can still sit here? Spending money. Almost spent most of my life’s savings to buy a life!”

Mrs. Tan was really shocked. Thinking about it, even if those guards only captured her that day, how could they not put people related to her under house arrest?And even if nothing happened in the end, how could it be possible not to bleed some blood after passing through the government?

Almost instantly, Mrs. Tan made a decision, "Since you look down on me so much, then write a letter of divorce."

Falling from an official wife to a businessman's wife is enough to wrong her, but if even this businessman has no money, why is she still following him?

Lu Xing suddenly snorted coldly, "Do you want to leave with your dowry privately? Unfortunately, I won't do what you wish. Somebody, send your wife to the carriage and get ready to go."

"You, what do you want to do?" Madam Tan panicked.

Lu Xing said, "Since you have ruined half of my life savings, you will always be with me for the rest of my life. You have no children. I raised a few good daughters instead. The eldest son-in-law has already tidied up a farm when he knew something happened at home. , let me take care of the elderly. In the future, you will take care of the housework and farm the land to feed the mother.”

No!Mrs. Tan resisted desperately, and the years she was thrown in the countryside taught her how difficult housework is in the countryside.But whether she wanted to or not, she was stuffed into the carriage.

Since then, she has been forced by Lu Xing to farm and feed pigs in the countryside.Chopping firewood and carrying water.Within half a year, calluses had been worn out on both hands, and she looked like a rural old lady with unkempt hair and dirty face.

Occasionally, she would also think that it would be better to die like this.

But every time this thought arose within a moment, she would fall asleep with a loud snoring.Life in the country is really tiring.Even wanting to die, I can't muster the strength.

Then day after day, year after year, people gradually become numb.Just like an old donkey being pulled by a blindfold, he worked hard for the rest of his life.

And when Nalu Dashi left Lu's house.A mysterious person gave him ten taels of silver as a reward for his informant.

Lu Dashi is grateful.After taking the money, he went to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. As for his daughter-in-law and son, they had already been driven out of the house and sold after losing the protection of Madam Lu.

As for Nanny Lu, she was loyal to Mrs. Tan all her life, and she never revealed any of her secrets until her death.But I don't know after my death.Even the bones were not allowed to be put into the soil, and they were left to wither in the Yizhuang.Years later it was cleaned out like garbage.

When Mrs. Tan first went to the country, the capital was already in full bloom in mid-spring.

It's just that the instability of the court made even the most beautiful flowers lose their color.

During the court meeting on the fourth day of February, no one expected that the third prime minister, Li Xilie, would suddenly make an effort to play the performance of the first prime minister, He Xian, in public.

Alleged that he colluded with the bandits and delayed the military plane.Indulge your neighbors and oppress the people.One pile, one piece, the evidence is conclusive.In addition, Wang Can, the local governor of his hometown, brought the people to testify in person, and He Xian was imprisoned in court.

The emperor was furious, and ordered to search the He family, but found a huge amount of assets, the origin of which is unknown.

The He family, which was in power for a while, fell into decline.

In the face of this, the treatment of General Pingxi seemed a bit trivial.

Although Ma of Jiashan County had made great contributions in pacifying the Southwest, he entered Beijing privately because he disregarded military discipline, was deprived of military power, and was ordered to go home and reflect.The only thing worth mentioning is that this matter is the last official task that He Xian handles in the court.

After he dealt with Ouyang Kang, it was his turn to be dealt with.Simply brilliant irony.

But Jiashan County Ma was honest, the emperor asked him to go home and reflect, and he stayed behind closed doors.I heard that playing around all day for fun is really not very promising.

As for the miraculous Princess Jiashan, she lived in seclusion and completely disappeared from the social circle in the capital.However, rumors about her are still circulating in private among the people.

Some people say that she is a messenger sent by the god of fire in the sky, while others say that she is the reincarnation of Grandma Stove King.But no matter what, these gods are good people, and few people say that she is a witch.

People's eyes are discerning.

The owner of Jiashan County has never done bad things. She opened restaurants for the poor, and she saved so many people during snowstorms.Even if she exposed her ability that time, it was to save a little boy.

How could such a good person be a monster?

But these words are only said in private, but not mentioned on the surface.

It's not that I don't want to praise her, but that I don't want to cause trouble for her.

Therefore, even if the servants of Poyuan came out to walk around, everyone treated them with kindness.It's just that when I look at Poyuan occasionally, I will show some respect.

If it is really a heavenly girl who descended to earth, it should be a blessing in the world, and they should protect her instead of letting her get hurt.

broken garden.

In the small kitchen dedicated to the matriarch.

The woman in a tunic and sleeves is busy, frying diced sweet potatoes in a hot pan, and when the time is almost up, sugar is quickly added.When the sugar encounters high temperature, it melts immediately, and the pot is turned upside down, so that the melted sugar evenly coats the sweet potatoes, and then comes out of the pot.

Seeing the color of the shredded sweet potatoes on the plate, without even trying, the woman yelled angrily, "It's over again!"

The man dressed as a servant next to him didn't seem to believe it. He stretched out his chopsticks to hold it, and the silk could be pulled out, but it was very different from what he had eaten before.

"It's okay." The man comforted her kindly, "Most people can't reach your level."

The woman Hong Guo fruitfully looked at him, "Can you praise me with another word?"

ooh-

Suddenly, a childish cry came from the door, which startled the two of them.

I saw his family's fat sweet potato, covered in grass leaves and dirt, pawing at the threshold excitedly, clapping and shouting.

Potato Dad: My son can finally crawl. . .

Wangcai: Why don't you look very happy?

Dad Potato: Have you forgotten who crawled on your back and couldn't get off yesterday, which made you come to me for help?

Sweet Potato: Who pinched it?

Potato Dad: Don't be cute!

Potato: Then who pinched it?

Potato Dad: Wangcai, let's go, bring the shredded sweet potatoes. . .

Sweet Potato: Daddy, don't you take me with you, and run to eat it secretly, is it really okay?

Potato Father: Son, is it really okay for you to be so cruel? ! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
