Chapter 54 Demotion
what?
Her father fought with someone else today?
Xiao Jinyue frowned. Could it be that she is still in a dream and hasn't woken up yet?
Although her father, Xiao Pingyuan, was transferred to Beijing to serve as the deputy commander in front of the palace, but the servants in the mansion continued to use the previous name and called him a general.

Although Xiao Jinyue didn't know this cheap father very well, but after getting along with her during this period of time, she gradually realized that her father was not a brave and foolhardy man as he appeared on the surface.

According to her, she should not be a person who would fight with others casually.

As soon as I thought about it, another servant girl lowered her voice from outside the window, "What do you mean our general fights with others? As for the frail body of the left servant of the household department, our general can beat him to the ground with one punch. How can there be any need?" Our general fought him."

Although the speaking maid was worried about waking up her daughter, so she deliberately lowered her volume, but Xiao Jinyue could feel the pride in her voice through a wall.

The maid's voice was so real that Xiao Jinyue couldn't help reaching out and pinching her earlobe.

Feeling the pain coming from her ears, Xiao Jinyue frowned, it turned out that she was not in a dream.

That means her father really did something with someone else?
Xiao Jinyue was unable to support her forehead, and she didn't know what she missed when she fell asleep.

With a slight cough, he raised his voice and called in the two maids outside.

Two maidservants, one tall and one short, came in. It must be that Anise was injured, so they came in to serve her.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue leaning on the bed, the two were happy, "Girl, you're awake."

"Pour me a glass of water."

The two servant girls agreed, one brought her a cup of warm water, and the other stuffed a pillow behind her.

Xiao Jinyue took the teacup, drank half of it in one breath, handed the teacup to the servant girl, and said casually, "What time is it now?"

"Ms. Hui, it's the beginning of Haishi." The taller maid answered, Xiao Jinyue remembered it was Banxia.

Originally, she was serving by her mother Xue's side, presumably her mother was worried that Fenix ​​was injured and would not be able to take care of her, so she sent Banxia here.

It turned out that I slept for an hour and a half, no wonder my stomach was growling with hunger.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue touching her belly, another round-faced maid named Bai Guo hurriedly said, "Miss, are you hungry? This servant is going to bring the porridge. Madam ordered me to drink the medicine after eating the porridge."

"What medicine to drink?"

"I don't know if the girl is asleep. Madam asked someone to invite a doctor into the mansion. He took your pulse, prescribed medicine, and gave you ointment. The eldest girl thinks that the servants are rough and they will hurt you. She gave you the medicine herself."

Only now did Xiao Jinyue realize that she had fallen asleep. What her mother and elder sister did for her warmed her heart. This family really treated her very well.

Xiao Jinyue nodded to her, and Bai Guo turned and retreated, ready to go to the kitchen to bring the porridge that had been warming on the stove.

"Ban Xia, I just heard from you that my father had a fight with someone else, what happened?"

Banxia didn't expect the girl to hear everything he said to Bai Guo outside, and seeing that she didn't blame her, she didn't hide anything, and told everything.

Xiao Pingyuan, as the deputy commander in front of the palace, was usually on duty in the palace. After he was off duty today, at the gate of the palace, for some unknown reason, he had an argument with Zou Changyuan, the left servant of the household department, and the two started arguing in public.

Originally, the military attache was not easy to deal with by nature, and it was not uncommon to have disputes on a daily basis.Seeing that they were making trouble, the officials on duty stepped forward one after another to persuade them.

It took a long time to persuade the two to leave.

Seeing Xiao Pingyuan get on the horse and the left servant of the household department get on the sedan chair, everyone thought it was all right, so they prepared to go back to their homes.

Unexpectedly, before everyone left the gate of the palace, a sudden change occurred.

Xiao Pingyuan's horse was frightened suddenly for some unknown reason, and ran wildly, happened to collide with Zou Changyuan's sedan chair, knocked him out of the sedan chair, and broke his left leg.

In pain, Zou Changyuan scolded Xiao Pingyuan for doing it on purpose. In order to retaliate against him, he deliberately let his mount bump into his sedan chair, causing him to break his leg.

This scene was witnessed by the two subordinate censors, and they also believed that Xiao Pingyuan was at fault. Seeing that he first quarreled with his colleagues, and then used his mount to break his leg to take revenge, they decided that he was a narrow-minded and impulsive person. I am a reckless man, so I want to read a copy of it in front of the emperor.

Because the incident was too big, the guards on duty were alarmed, and the guards reported to the emperor.

So the two who hadn't left the palace were brought back by the emperor's order.

The two censors who witnessed what happened, glanced at each other, and naturally followed.

The left servant of the household department was carried to the emperor by the guards, and he scolded Xiao Pingyuan in front of the emperor. After he finished scolding, the two censors also read Xiao Pingyuan's book in front of the emperor, saying that he had a heart. A narrow-minded, impulsive person, such a reckless person, is not worthy of the post of commander in front of the palace.

The emperor questioned Xiao Pingyuan about what had happened, he only said that his horse was probably unwell and frightened, so he accidentally knocked the household servant Zuo Shilang out of the sedan chair.

Looking at Zou Changyuan who was crying and tearful, and the two censors who were staring at him, the emperor hesitated for a moment, and removed Xiao Pingyuan from the post of Deputy Commander in front of the palace, and demoted him to Marquis Yuhou in front of the palace.

That's how it happened.

More specifically, Ban Xia, as a maid, has no way of knowing.

Xiao Jinyue was unable to support her forehead, and she planned to think of a way to see how to help his father's official position and improve her own status, so that no one could step on her if she was not pleasing to the eye. kick.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to act, his father would be demoted from the fourth rank to the fifth rank.

"You are awake, is there any discomfort?" Xiao Jinlan's voice suddenly came, interrupting Xiao Jinyue's thoughts.

Bai Guo went to the kitchen to fetch medicine, and happened to meet Xiao Jinlan on the way back. Hearing that Xiao Jinyue was awake, she came to have a look.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Jinyue smiled and said, "Sister, I'm fine. I heard that you were worried about me, and you've been guarding my place before. Why did you come here just after you went back?"

"It's fine. I just went to see my parents. I thought you weren't awake. My mother asked me to come back and watch you."

Xiao Jinyue was overjoyed, and she wanted to know more about what happened, "How is dad? Tell me, how did dad get involved with the left servant of the household department?"

Seeing that although her face was still pale, Xiao Jinlan's spirit was better than before, and her hanging heart finally calmed down.

It can be seen that she looked interested in inquiring gossip, and gave her another look, "You don't need to worry about Dad's affairs, just take care of yourself. Hurry up and drink the medicine, if you wait any longer, the medicine will be cold."

As soon as she heard that she was going to drink medicine, Xiao Jinyue immediately drooped her head. She didn't want to drink at all, so it was hard.

Xiao Jinlan was angry and funny, and told Bai Guo, "Go to my place and find Qingliu and get some candied fruit for your girl, so that she won't feel bitter and pour the medicine secretly."

Bai Guo responded with a smile, turned around and left.

Xiao Jinyue twitched the corner of her mouth and poured the medicine secretly. This kind of thing was done by the original owner, but she couldn't refute this.

Soon, Ginkgo came back with a plate of candied fruit.

Xiao Jinyue still wanted to struggle, "Eldest sister, let's forget about this medicine. I'll make a medicine for myself tomorrow and make it into balls before taking it..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a little maid ran over panting from the door, "Girl, girl, it's not good, I heard the sound of things being thrown from Madam's yard..."

 Throwing something, breaking something... Is it going to start a fight?
