Chapter 153 Accidents (2)
Nala looked at her and said: "Good boy, this is none of your business. The palace lady Qiaoer can only count her as bad luck. The eunuch Zhao Dong is handled by this palace, and it is none of your business."This hairpin is kept by me, so I will report it to the emperor as Qiaoer stole the hairpin. As for what to say, I know what to say, just rest assured, if someone asks you about it again, you can tell me as before The same as those who said.Mingxiu said: Yes, the concubine obeys the order.Nala asked again: "When you asked Yongxuan, what did he say?"
Mingxiu said: Elder Brother didn't admit it at first, but later he admitted that he liked Concubine Rong before, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with him, he was ashamed himself, and told his concubine not to tell anyone.Nala said: I think when you asked about this, you dismissed everyone inside and outside the house.Mingxiu said: "Yes, but I didn't expect Qiao'er to come. She doesn't come to the house at all on weekdays. That day she was in urgent need of money at home, so she came to ask me to send her the monthly silver for emergency, so I went to pawn it later." I bought the hairpin, thinking about her filial piety, and solving her family's difficulties, it can be regarded as compensation for my guilt.
Nala nodded and said: I understand.Sifujin, you just need to rest assured, Concubine Rong's character, I can trust her, she will never be with Yongxuan... Mingxiu laughed and said: How could I doubt Concubine Rong?How could she fall in love with the fourth elder brother.The fourth elder brother also said that Concubine Rong was not special to him.The year before last in Nanyuan, the fourth elder brother returned her handkerchief, and then there was something about feeding poison on the handkerchief. The fourth elder brother was very afraid, and since then he has lost sight of it. He himself doesn't know the name he calls his concubine.Nala suddenly felt startled, the year before last, Nanyuan?Countless thoughts passed through my mind, and I said in my mouth: Sifujin, I know, this matter is over, don't bring it up again, and don't ask Yongxuan again, lest people hear it again.
Mingxiu said: Yes, it's just that the two Ge Ge don't know if they know about it.Nala said: You try to find out for me, but you must be careful, and you must not let anyone suspect you, understand?Mingxiu said: Yes, my concubine understands.Nala said: Good boy, I didn't expect that although you are young, you are very knowledgeable and such a considerate person. The Queen Mother should thank you very much.You are right, the Empress Dowager is not mistaken, the Empress Dowager will remember it in her heart.Empress Huang Erniang handed over Yongxuan to you. If you have anything to tell me directly, you don't need to tell others, just say it's my palace's will.
Mingxiu got up and knelt down, and said: Yes, Queen Mother, this is the job of a concubine.You don't want to punish the fourth elder brother, he already knew that his thoughts about Concubine Rong were wrong, but he just couldn't help himself. He didn't know the truth about Qiaoer, let alone Zhao Dong, and he also comforted me by saying that the maid jumped into the well because of the hairpin. Let me tell you about it.Now he is being punished by the emperor to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and the concubines are very worried and don't want him to worry again.As he spoke, he shed tears again.
The queen saw that she was calm and orderly before, but she was so affectionate towards Yongxie. She sighed in her heart, walked down, helped her up, held her hand, and sat back on the couch together, saying: "The empress won't ask him , don’t let him know that I know, you should live your life well, about Cheng Hao, the Queen’s mother has already told the fourth elder brother, he will be fine if he writes a letter of repentance to the emperor, you go back and teach him to write well.Regarding Qiao'er, the emperor won't allow it to be publicized, he is doing it for the fourth elder brother, don't worry.Mingxiu said: Yes, the concubine obeys the order, thank you Queen Mother.After sending Mingxiu away, Zhen'er came in and asked what was going on, Nala shook her head and said: It's okay, I can go back to the emperor.
In the afternoon, Nala told the emperor about Qiao'er, saying that she stole Fujin's hairpin because of family affairs and was in urgent need of money. When Mingxiu's maid Xiangwei found out, she committed suicide in fear of crime and asked Yuan Chunwang After a detailed investigation, it was indeed true, Sifujin did not hide anything, and traced the stolen hairpin.Show the hairpin to the emperor.Ask the emperor again, Qiaoer has committed the crime of theft, and she is dead, but at her home, the palace must give an explanation, and ask the emperor to show it.
The emperor was quite surprised, he was silent for a while, and said: "A daughter always died in her family, and I will not pursue it anymore. As for how to tell her family, the queen can figure it out."Nala said, "Qiao'er was wrong for stealing, but Sifujin's house is kind-hearted, and thinking of her compassion, they comforted her family at that time, saying that Qiao'er fell into the water by mistake, so she refused to tell Yilu because she wanted to wait." The concubine came back and told me first.Since the emperor said so, the concubines still follow Si Fujin's statement and teach the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue pension money according to the regulations, which not only fulfills Qiao'er's filial piety, but also can cover up the matter.How does the emperor feel?
The emperor nodded and said, "Just do as you say."Ali Gun gave birth to a good daughter, and this matter should not be made public. The maid in Yongxuan's courtyard stole, and Yongxuan's face was ugly.You find another name and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I gave Ali Gun's daughter a reward, and then tell the whole matter to the Queen's Niang, saying that it was the Zhenjiao who suppressed this matter, and also explain to Concubine Qing.Nala immediately knelt down and said: Yes, the concubine Dai Yongxuan and Si Fujin, as well as the deceased Qiaoer and her family, thank you Lord Long En.
The emperor said: It seems that Sifu Jin is virtuous and educated, and taught her to persuade Yongxuan routinely, telling Yongxuan not to serve as a prince by herself, and to act cautiously.Nala said: "Yes, the concubine also means the same thing. I have talked about Yongxuan well."He has been repenting for many days, you see, can he show you the repentance package?The emperor sighed, and said: "Teach him to write it, and send it to the imperial examination through the Ministry of Officials."Nala thanked him again before going back.
That night, Nala couldn't sleep, she never thought that Yongxie would have unreasonable thoughts about Concubine Rong.At that time, Yuan Chunwang said that Concubine Rong and the adult elder brother wanted to avoid suspicion and framed Concubine Rong and the fifth elder brother, but he did not expect to turn to him.But obviously, the matter of feeding poison on Nanyuan's handkerchief was definitely not the concubine Rong's self-stealing as Yuan Chunwang speculated, because Concubine Rong is such a smart person, how could she not know that Yongxie had intentions for her?She will never involve herself in it, because the rumors about the fifth elder brother and her were only spread before that, and she can no longer let the emperor feel bad for her. After so long, she didn't know about it. It's as if Qian Gong had been lucky about her, which shows how well she hides it.
That must be Fu Hengwei Yingluo, who wants to blame the fourth elder brother, pointing at herself.Fu Heng is in control of this matter, so the emperor is safe and sound, Concubine Rong is fine, and of course the emperor will not doubt Fu Heng.I also remembered that it was Fu Heng who was in charge of recuperating Yongxie after he fell off the horse, and Ye Tianshi was seeing Yongxie. It seems that Fu Heng and Wei Yingluo must know what Yongxie is thinking. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am right.This is a very good excuse, the three people over there can use it to deal with him at any time, but he has nothing to investigate, and the more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes, and he hates Yongxuan for not being up to date, and all kinds of troubles for himself.But because of the maid's suicide, the emperor had a good impression of Mingxiu, which was a blessing in disguise.
Yuan Chunwang heard Zhen'er talk about the empress asking Sifu Jin during the day. Although he didn't know the details, he had various thoughts in his heart.He was ordered to deal with Zhao Dong. After Nala asked Zhao Dong to pawn the hairpin, he ordered him to be dealt with. He didn't ask about the rest, because it had too much to do with it.In the early morning of the second day, Nala asked Yuan Chunwang to talk alone, which was exactly what he wanted.Hearing Nala's story about the truth about the court lady's throwing into the well and her suspicion that Fu Hengwei Yingluo had led the incident in Nanyuan the year before last, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled to the queen, "Your Majesty, you see, you can't fight if you don't want to, they I won't let you go.This time the fourth elder brother was punished, they watched the fire from the other side and watched the joke!
Nala snorted.Yuan Chunwang said: "What is your empress going to do?"Nala said: "Now Yongxuan is on the cusp of the storm, let's talk slowly."Yuan Chunwang said: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."Nala said again: "This matter is very important. Don't tell Zhen'er."Yuan Chunwang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, you just asked me to talk alone, how could I not know?"The fourth elder brother was only young at that time, and it was all a thing of the past, don't worry, empress.
In the end, Mingxiu was not to blame for Qiao'er's matter, and was rewarded by the emperor and praised by the queen. Yongxuan felt very comforted and happy, but the palace blocked the matter, and Ali Gun's family didn't know anything.
At exactly the right time on the tenth day of the lunar new year, Yongqi, Fujin and their two rigged sedan chairs arrived at the main gate of the Spring Harmony Garden.Fu Heng and his wife were already waiting in front of the door. When the fifth elder brother got out of the sedan chair, they both knelt down to greet him.Yong Qi stepped forward, helped them both up personally, and said: Master, Master, Yong Qi should give you New Year greetings.Then came Fujin and the two princesses, everyone bowed to each other.After entering the Spring Harmony Garden, they changed seats, and a group of eunuchs, guards, nurses and maidservants headed for Hanhui Tower on the west side in a mighty manner.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, everyone sat down, served tea, and exchanged greetings for a while, then He Zhu taught Hu Jiajia the ceremony of dividing the year.Yingluo asked about He Zhu's health, and said that a room had been prepared for her to rest in the backyard of Qingxiazhai behind Hanhui Building, and it was far away from the theater building, so there should be no noise, He Zhu thanked her.
Then the nurse came out holding Fu Long'an and Jiang Jiang out for everyone to see.It was also the first time Yongqi saw the two children, she was very happy and asked several questions.Yiboer and Hu Jiajia took turns hugging and teasing Jiang Jiang for a while, saying that she was too beautiful, and she looked too much like Mrs. Fu Heng.Fu Long'an didn't want to be hugged, and just leaned against Fu Heng, but seeing the toy, he was very happy and giggled.After the child was taken down, Yingluo asked Cui'er to ask Haishi to come out.
After Haishi came out with Xiaofu, he knelt down in front of Yongqi and Hezhu, who were sitting on the table, and said: "Chunhe Garden's auntie Jingli, who is practicing Falun Gong, wishes the fifth elder brother and Fujin a New Year's greeting, and wishes all the blessings and prosperity."Yong Qi was very excited, but calmly said: "Excuse me."Haishi stood up, smiled at the two of them, and stood behind Yingluo.He Zhu was a little surprised.Yingluo quickly said: "Fifth elder brother, Wu Fujin, although Jingli is an outsider, she has followed me for many years and managed the internal affairs of Chunhe Garden, so today I asked her to come to see the opera together, Lele, the two of you will not have each other." opinion?
Yongqi then looked at He Zhu, and He Zhu said: So that's the case, it's all up to Madam Nalan to decide.Looking at Haishi again, he said to her: "We are here to bother you today. Thank you for your hard work. You must have prepared for a long time, right?"Haishi smiled and said: "Fifth elder brother and Wu Fujin are here, and the spring and garden are full of splendor. It is the fifth elder brother's blessing that Fujin is so considerate of his servants."Seeing that she called herself a servant, Yong Qi felt very sad, so she forced a smile, and Ybor, who was sitting below, knew what he was thinking and looked at him.
Suddenly Hu Jiajia said: "Auntie, you are the other aunt who guessed lantern riddles at the Queen Mother's place that day, right?"Before Haishi could speak, Yingluo smiled and said: Gege really has a good memory, yes!He Zhu didn't know what they were talking about, and it was difficult to ask.Ybor said: Yes, I remembered it too!Since you have seen it before, you are familiar with it, and there is no need to be formal.Speaking of getting up, he gave Haishi a faraway blessing, and said: "Ibor greets my aunt!"Hu Jiajia also stood up and had a blessing.
Haishi was excited, with tears in his eyes, he looked at the two, holding the Buddhist beads, clasped his hands together, and said: "Thank you, Ge Ge, for being polite and quiet."Yong Qi watched from above, feeling even more mixed feelings.Yingluo smiled and said: "When you come to this mansion, everyone, please don't be too polite. Let's go upstairs and start a play. This play will last a long time!"Speaking of getting up, he and Fu Heng went up the stairs first.Hai Shi stood on the side, lowered his head, and waited for everyone to go upstairs first.
When Yong Qi walked past her, she looked at her, wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she raised her head, smiled at him, and said: Fifth elder brother, please!Yong Qi turned her face away, tears rushed into her eyes.Behind Yongqi was Zheng Ying with her head bowed. Because of her weakness, He Zhu helped Nanny Tao and walked behind Zheng Ying. She didn't care, and Hu Jiajia didn't care either. I understand, I don't feel sour.
The last ones to go upstairs were the rest of the servants.Nanny Pan recognized Yingluo and Haishi. She was shocked when she saw Yingluo outside the garden. Avoid meeting Hai's face to face, and Hai's didn't pay attention.
After going up to the second floor, Yong Qi and He Zhu were still sitting in the front row facing the stage. Fu Heng, Ying Luo and Hai Shi were sitting on the left side of Yong Qi, and Hu Jiajia and Yi Boer were sitting on the right side of He Zhu.In the back row sat the nuns and maids of the fifth elder brother's mansion, and Zheng Ying was also given a seat alone to watch the play.In addition to Cui'er and Xiaofu, Chunhe Garden has a total of nine maids serving tea and water, and ten servants scattered around. Pearl is on holiday today, because Xiaoquanzi will return to Jiangning tomorrow.
After watching three episodes of the play, He Zhu couldn't bear it anymore. Yingluo asked Cui'er and the two little girls to take her and the nuns and maids to Qingxiazhai to rest, and asked Cui'er to take care of her. He also heard that she was ill, so he looked at Yong Qi with a little worry.Yong Qi smiled at her warmly.The lunch was grand and sumptuous, He Zhu didn't come, Haishi just stood aside to serve.Yingluo said to her: Jingli, you can take care of the fifth elder brother's meal for me, he is today's distinguished guest!Haishi agreed with a smile, and walked to Yongqi's side. Yongqi was very excited, and smiled at her and said: Thank you!Ybor smiled at him across the table.
Haishi served Yongqi with vegetables, added rice, and scooped soup with meticulous care, and often asked him whether he likes it hot or cold, etc. Yongqi was extremely happy in his heart, and laughed.Hu Jiajia then smiled and said: Mrs. Nalan, the aunt in your family is indeed a proper and good manager.Yongqi's smile froze, Hai Shi hurriedly said with a smile: Xie Ge Ge Miao Zan, fifth elder brother is used to being particular in the palace, we can't be negligent.Yiboer said: "My aunt is really careful. My elder brother has almost eaten, so let my aunt eat too!"
Yong Qi also said: You also sit down and eat together.Talking about asking Zheng Ying to move a stool for Haishi.Zheng Ying moved the stool, but she didn't know where to put it. Yingluo laughed at the table over there and said, "Since the fifth elder brother is happy to leave quietly, Jingli, you can sit at the fifth elder brother's table. In my opinion, sit at this table." Beside Little Grid.Yongqi said: Yes.Zheng Ying smiled and put the stool away.
Haishi pleaded guilty and sat down at the head of Yiboer. Yiboer smiled and said, "Auntie, you can do whatever you want, don't be cautious."Haishi thanked him again.Haishi chewed slowly, and Yong Qi kept looking at her from the opposite side, only moving her chopsticks from time to time.Yiboer got up and walked over to get some food for him. He smiled and waved his hands, saying: I am full, you can eat.Seeing that Yongqi was so pleased with this aunt, Hu Jiajia stood up and rearranged the dishes.Yongqi looked at her and said: You worked hard just now, eat more.She then smiled at Yong Qi again and said: Thank you fifth elder brother.Yingluo watched all this over there, and exchanged knowing glances with Fu Heng.Mother Pan stood aside, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.
After dinner, Yong Qi said to go for a walk in the garden first, to digest food and then go to the theater, and asked Zheng Ying to stay.Yingluo taught Fu Heng to keep Zhang Luo, and she and Haishi took the three of them to Haishi's Hanqiu Pavilion. When they passed the back door of Chunzeshou, she said to Hu Jiajia: I heard that Hu Gege studied under Master Lu. I play the piano very well, and I also like to play the piano. This is where I live. Why don't you go in and have a chat?
Hu Jiajia said: Madam praises you a lot, but if Madam invites you, Jiajia should accompany you.Then look at Yongqi.Yong Qi smiled and said: "You go, let's go for a walk and come back later to tell you to go back to the theater."Hu Jiajia agreed, and Yingluo looked at Yongqi and said, "Thank you fifth elder brother."Then he said to Haishi: You take Elder Brother and Gege for a walk again, it's cold, don't let them freeze.Haishi said: Yes, Madam, don't worry.
