Da Suining

Chapter 180
"Prince Guo Er is unhappy because of me."

"What happened to you?"

"I report him for murder."

"You reported him for murder?" Xiang Yan got up suddenly, got up too quickly, forgetting that she was still sitting in the car, her head hit the roof of the car, causing her to frown.

Xiang Yan sat back slowly, staring at Xiang Suining's face, looking at Xiang Suining's serious appearance, it didn't seem like he was lying to her, Xiang Yan was dissatisfied: "I know, Guo Kai likes me, he doesn't like you , you are always jealous in your heart, but who made me look better than you? Looks are born, and you can't be jealous."

"I'm not jealous."

"Then why did you frame Guo Kai for murder?"

"It's not framing, it's just telling the truth."

"Do you have evidence?"

"No."

"That's framing."

"Then you have evidence that Guo Kai didn't kill anyone?" Xiang Suining asked back.

"No."

"Then how do you say I framed him?"

Xiang Yan blushed, and didn't know how to answer, she just said: "Anyway, I know what kind of character he is, I know him better than you, he won't kill people, even if he kills, he will tell you first." I, how can I let you know first? Besides, if he kills someone, will the emperor spare him? You saw it just now, he went back to the palace with the emperor, nothing happened. "

Yes.

Guo Cheng is fine now.

It all depends on Lu Ying taking the blame for him.

The person who is currently imprisoned in the Punishment Department is Lu Ying.

There must be a way to let Lu Ying come out of the Punishment Department by himself.

It seems that we have to meet Lu Ying's wife, Mrs. Liu.

Xiang Suining and Liu Shi have never met, nor have any friendship, so they need to find a way to connect with her.

As soon as you return to the government, you have to come here without any effort.

The old lady of the Xiang family asked about the Huguo Temple, and heard Xiang Suining talk about the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. Praying for the living, she was also quite moved.

Mrs. Xiang asked some more about what she had seen and heard, and it was not until dinner time that it was all over.

Dinner is for the whole family.

Xiang Suining ate a bowl of porridge with some drunken shrimps and some pickles. After finishing eating, he added another bowl of porridge to Mrs. Xiang, and sat quietly watching her eat.

"It is said that the Water and Land Ceremony is very big, but unfortunately I have something to do today, so I couldn't go there." Xiang Daying asked while chewing cold cut beef, "Yan'er, is the Water and Land Ceremony in Huguo Temple busy?"

Xiang Yan shook her hand holding the bowl: "It's lively..."

"What did you see? Let's hear it?"

"This one……"

"Water and Land Ceremony, haven't you and your second sister met in person? Tell us about it."

"Water and Land Ceremony.....yes...yes... anyway, it's a puja. Monks are chanting scriptures there, surrounded by crowds of people. It's nothing to see. I thought there were too many people, so I didn't pay attention to it." Xiang Yan Haha.

She didn't pay attention.

She was so focused on finding Guo Kai that she didn't have the time to care about the Water and Land Ceremony.

As for who presided over it, who participated in it, what procedures were involved, what utensils were used, and which Bodhisattvas were worshiped, she was even more ignorant.

Xiang Daying's follow-up question will only make Xiangyan nervous.

"Today I went to the palace to meet Master Shangshu and General Zuo, and I heard a strange thing." Xiang Daying took a sip of porridge, took another fried stick, but put the fried stick down again.

"What's wrong?"

"I heard from the guard guarding the palace gate that today I saw Lu Ying, Lord Lu, the right deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, Lu Ying, who went to the Punishment Division to confess his guilt, saying that he had killed someone."

"Is there such a thing?"

"The guards saw it, so it's not a lie. I just don't know who he killed, so why did he go to the Punishment Department to plead guilty? Murder is not a trivial matter, and sometimes even if the defendant goes to the emperor, he has to argue for three points , how come there are still voluntary confessions?"

I have been in the officialdom of Daying for many years, and I know that some bureaucrats are slippery.

For example, a fourth-rank official who went to a brothel for no money was chased into the street, accidentally killed the woman who was sleeping with him, and even accused the brothel woman of stealing his purse, saying that he accidentally killed him to protect himself. people.He also gave Yin Zhousheng of Qingcheng Mansion some silver bills at that time. When the matter was reported to the emperor, it became a brothel girl who failed to solicit customers, and ordered Gui Gong and his gang to come out and rob. In the end, the official was demoted to three levels, sent to a remote mountainous area to become a county magistrate, and still mixed in the officialdom. On the contrary, the brothel was quickly flattened and disappeared.

Lu Ying, the right deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, has a lot of people under his command. If he kills someone, there are a hundred ways to settle it, and he wants to take the blame for him. If there is no one hundred, there are eighty, how can he punish himself carefully? Driver?

Xiang Daying was a little puzzled: "I haven't heard of anything he committed."

"What to do with those thoughts, it's not the people in our house who caused trouble anyway." Tang Xiaoniang drank the porridge and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief; Go to the Punishment Department, go to the Punishment Department."

"Nowadays the world is not peaceful, you should be honest and avoid trouble as much as possible, understand?" Xiang Daying did not forget to confess to the three children.

Xiang Guoxin is heartless, no matter what Xiang Daying said, he just drank the porridge "snoring and slurping". He drank three big bowls in a while, burped, and tore off a duck leg and chewed it in his mouth , chewing a mouthful of oil.

The movement of eating was overwhelming.

Even Tang Xiaoniang couldn't stand it anymore: "Guo Xin, it's not that the family can't afford it. You are a serious brother from the Xiangfu, why don't you seem to have eaten nothing, eat so much at night, can you digest it?"

As Tang Xiaoniang said, she tore off the other duck leg and stuffed it into Xiangyan's hand: "Yan'er, you should eat more. Why did you come back from Huguo Temple today? Mother sees that you are in a trance. As if you were frightened by something, eat some meat quickly and rejuvenate your mind."

Xiang Yan backhanded the duck leg and threw it into the soup bowl: "I don't want to eat it, I have no appetite."

"What's the matter, you don't eat good duck legs. You can't let others eat it after you touch it?" Tang Xiaoniang fished out the duck legs, and took a bite by herself: "Yan'er must be thinking that there is only one duck left." Legs, I don’t want to eat them by myself, but I’m too embarrassed to say I want my mother to eat them, right?”

"mother……."

"Okay, mother knows that Yan'er puts her heart into it, mother just eats it." Tang Xiaoniang bit the duck leg with a "puchipuchi" while knocking on the side of Xiangguoxin's bowl: "Like your third sister, a little bit of discipline is the way to go." After eating the duck, go back to the room to rest, or read some books, or lie down to rest, don't run around all over the yard, it's not a serious business."

"Mother, you have wronged me by saying that. Now the study in the palace is on and off, and I can't go to the palace to accompany me to study. I have nothing to do at home. I sleep until the sun rises every day. How can I go to bed so early at night. Besides, the family is so busy every day. Just the few of us wandering around, the second sister and the third sister went to Huguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and still see the world, I was locked up like a bird, how pitiful, I didn’t even see a stranger’s face no."

"What time is it now, why do we still see strangers? Even if strangers come, we dare not welcome them." Tang Xiaoniang nodded his forehead: "You don't know the situation outside, any stranger will be Might be sick."

A series of footsteps down the corridor.

The guard at the door trotted forward, saying that someone wanted to see him.

"It's this time, why are you still looking for me? It's too late for business." Xiang Daying put down his chopsticks: "Who is it?"

"It's Lu Ying...'s wife... Mrs. Liu, and she's bringing her son with her."

"Lu Ying's wife, Mrs. Liu, and her son?" Xiang Daying was taken aback. He and Lu Ying had no friendship at all. What's the matter with Lu Ying's wife coming to Xiang's house at this time?

Tang Xiaoniang saw Prime Minister Daying's puzzled look, so she snorted coldly: "Master, don't put on an air, people have come to the door. Is there anything about this that the master is hiding from me? Why are you here so late? , people brought their children to the door? Or was it the first night when Lu Ying was imprisoned in the Punishment Department?"

This vinegar jar.

Xiang Daying was also very wronged: "Ma'am, what are you talking about? She is Lu Ying's wife, and I have never seen her before. Madam said this, where will I be placed?"

"Where did the master put me?"

"Madam, don't be angry. This Mrs. Liu is just a family of women. Now that Lu Ying is being imprisoned by the Punishment Department, Mrs. Liu is his wife. She must walk around for him. She doesn't know who to ask, so she hastily asked for it. We also have them in our house, but...the matter of Lu Ying has not yet been settled. It is not wise for us to meet her at this time. If we stab the emperor, the emperor will definitely think that we are in collusion with Lu Ying, so... "Xiang Daying beckoned, asked the doorman to come forward, and whispered: "Go and tell Mrs. Liu, just say... I'm not feeling well, I've already fallen asleep, let her come back another day."

"Then what should she do when she comes back sometime?" Tang Xiaoniang stared at Xiang Daying.

"If she comes back another day, just say I'm not here."

"It's better to hit the sun in another day, let's do it now." Tang Xiaoniang waved her hand and asked the doorman to pass on the message: "Just let Mrs. Liu in and bring her to the inner hall. I want to see, Mrs. Liu." What is it like, what do you want to do when you come to our house so late. "

The boy looked at Xiang Daying.

Xiang Daying nodded helplessly, and the servant quickly opened the door.

"Just now I said that strangers are not allowed to be seen. It doesn't matter if what I said hasn't hit the ground." Xiangguo pouted heartily: "I'm full, I'm going back to my room."

"Why do you go, what if I came to look for you." Tang Xiaoniang was annoyed.

"Mom, don't wrong me. I'm only ten years old. What can I do? I'm not my father."

"You bastard." Xiang Daying looked as if he wanted to eat Xiang Guoxin.

Xiangguo sticks out his tongue heartily.

Soon, Mrs. Liu was brought in.Next to Mrs. Liu was a wet nurse, who held her two or three-year-old child in her arms.

Because Lu Ying finally got a son, it is quite precious. Even if he grows a lot taller, he still needs to nurse, three times a day, no less than one time. The mansion also specially provides three or four sons Nurses take turns serving.

Liu's eyes were red, as if she had cried.Wearing a tapestry brocade jacket with slanted breasts, pinched waist and narrow sleeves, and a dark yellow horse-face skirt, a pair of Erfeng peony hollow gold bracelets on the wrists, a string of rubies and South Sea pearl necklaces around the neck, and a flying swallow The hair is in a bun, and a red gold hairpin is inserted obliquely on the sideburns, and a gorgeous crabapple flower is inserted in the back of the head.

Liu's figure is enchanting, protruding forward and backward. Before she arrived, her breasts had already arrived. In addition to her young age, her brows and eyes were full of affection. I don't know who made her makeup very considerately. Her eyes were as deep as puddles of water, and her lips were red and bright. , as if you just ate some fruit, tender and fresh.

In addition to these, Mrs. Liu still has a pair of small and exquisite feet, stepping on a pair of green brocade shoes with silver edges, which look like willows blowing the wind when she walks, very charming.

Except that her hands are a bit rough, there is nothing wrong with her.

Xiang Guoxin often walks around the palace, and he has seen many concubines, but this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful woman with such a "wow" figure.

Xiang Daying also secretly sighed in his heart, Lu Ying is blessed.

Lv Ying has been childless for many years, married such a wife in the end of the world, and soon gave birth to a son, and inherited the incense, he is really the most proud person.

Now seeing Mrs. Liu, I realize that not only can she bear a son, but she is also very charming, not to mention giving birth to a son, such a woman would be willing to give birth to a hundred sons with her.

Tang Xiaoniang looked at Xiang Daying's expression, and then at Liu's delicate and trembling aggrieved appearance, she set up firewood in her heart and lit a fire: "This is the famous Mrs. Lu in Qingcheng Right? I didn't expect to be so young."

"My husband is more than ten years older than the slave family, and the slave family is now more than twenty years old."

I'm only in my twenties, so it's time to pinch it.

Good-looking, outstanding figure, and young, you say it is annoying or not.

Tang Xiaoniang felt that her breathing was not smooth: "It's so late, what are you doing at our house? You still have a child with you, and we haven't finished our meal yet."

"It doesn't interfere with Madam's meal, I can wait."

It's fine if it's all over the country, but the voice is still nice.

It's as gentle as the water running out of the hot spring, which makes people's muscles and bones feel comfortable.

Compared with her, Tang Xiaoniang is simply vulgar and unreasonable.

This is really worth throwing away.

Mrs. Liu shrank her hands and stood quietly by the dining table without saying a word.

Tang Xiaoniang raised her foot and gave Xiang Daying a hand: "Speak, I'm looking for you."

Xiang Daying was also very aggrieved: "This... Mrs. Liu... I mean Mrs. Lu... What do you want me for?"

Mrs. Liu knelt down with a "plop", and the child in the nurse's arms dropped the rattle in his hand when he saw this posture, and cried "wah-wah-wah".

A good meal is not enough.

Xiang Daying could only say: "Just say what you have to say, don't kneel, kneel, our family doesn't like this."

"If Master Xiang doesn't decide for the slave family..."

"You don't need to be a slave... a slave...you are a serious Mrs. Lu...you are a distinguished guest, if you have anything to do, just say it."

"If Mr. Xiang doesn't make the decision for the slave family, the slave family will never be able to kneel down."

"I promise, can't I promise?"

Tang Xiaoniang said coldly: "Sure enough, I met a beautiful woman..."

After that, Tang Xiaoniang couldn't go on talking, and she couldn't destroy her prestige.

Kneeling on her knees, Liu wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Master Xiang can speak a lot? Mr. Xiang is the second rank in the dynasty, so naturally he promises everything he says? He will make decisions for the orphans and widows of the slave family, right?"
