After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 5 Stupid Uncle
Xu Lezhi smiled maliciously, "If Third Uncle's family wants to do business outside, bribery and flattery must be inevitable. Seeing that Sixth Sister was so proficient just now, it can be regarded as the essence of learning. It's just that the businessman style is not elegant after all. Sixth Sister If you want to find a good son-in-law, you should learn more poems and books about female workers."

"Don't worry, sister, maybe in a few days we will not only learn the skills of merchants, but also work in the fields. Of course, female workers' poems and books are good, but the mud-legged people don't like them. They like those who are easy to give birth to and can work. , those who can endure hardship, sister, you have to work harder if you want to get married. Don’t you think so, eldest aunt——"

The eldest aunt who was suddenly called was still distracted. She didn't understand and just nodded, "Yes, yes... Sixth Girl is right, you don't know, those country people pick wives with big arms and thick waists." Butt is round——”

Xu Lezhi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and he scolded in a high-pitched voice: "Xu Qingying, you are vulgar! You are a little girl who has not yet left the court, and you talk about looking for a man. Are you ashamed?!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about finding a man, but let's talk about beheading in a few days. Do you know where we can behead? How to make it less painful? Do you want to bribe the jailer and give it to us? Choose an executioner with quick movements? If the execution is not smooth and I lose strength halfway through the execution, I don’t want to hang my head and be reincarnated."

"Sixth girl, shut up, don't talk nonsense!" the second aunt scolded angrily, and then yelled at Miao, "Ms. Miao, this is the good girl you trained. If I had known better, I wouldn't have asked my third brother to take care of the Xu family. I have a bad temper and have brought bad temper to the other girls in the Xu family. The sixth girl is like this, it must be because you lack discipline in your daily life!"

Miao was so suddenly yelled at that she trembled with fright, and then tears welled up in her eyes.

This second sister-in-law is from an official family, so she is naturally a thousand times more noble than her daughter, a scholar.On weekdays, Mrs. Lian would always yell at her, but she was always tolerant, thinking about her family and everything going well, and she couldn't always be tough on everyone.

But now that Mrs. Lian was scolded like this in front of her children, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She wanted to say something, but she was so stupid that she couldn't say a word for a long time. Instead, she was so anxious that tears almost flowed out.

She had never felt so humiliated. Her daughter was pointed at her nose and scolded. Her lips trembled, "Second sister-in-law...how could you say that to Ying'er..."

"The one who teases you first is a bitch. Don't try to pick on this soft persimmon of my mother." Xu Zhenying glanced at Lian and said calmly, "My father manages the Xu family's assets. My fourth aunt's family is also in business, but Lezhi is a businessman. , looking down on his two uncles, but enjoying the fine clothes earned by others. What should I think is going on? It turned out that it was the second aunt who taught me? If you had told me earlier, how could we, the merchants and the common people, dare? Replying to the daughter-in-law of the Xu family like this. I was wrong, second aunt, no matter how much Lezhi scolds me this time, I will never talk back."

Very sarcastic.

Even Xiao Huang couldn't help but feel that these three bedrooms and six girls had been taken away.

These words were like a barrage of words. How could that weak and shy Liu Yatou be able to say them?

Lian had never felt that Xu Qingying was so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. She was so angry that her chest heaved but she didn't know how to refute.

Xu Yinxi quickly pulled Xu Lezhi and Lian Shi, and she frowned. Although she did not agree with her mother and sister's actions, she naturally had to defend them in front of outsiders.

"Sixth sister, please calm down. We are all a family, and it doesn't end like this. The third uncle is taking care of the Xu family's business outside. Without the third uncle, there would be no Xu family. My father would not have such a well-connected official career. The uncle Also, without the support of my uncle and aunt in the early years, my father would not have been able to pass the imperial examination and change his family. Our family has broken bones and tendons, that is, now we are in trouble, everyone is in a bad mood, and it is inevitable to talk. The words are a little more open-minded. Now that the life and death of the family are uncertain and the future is uncertain, it is better to work together to advance and retreat."

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but take another look at Xu Yinxi.

She is worthy of being the eldest daughter carefully trained by her second aunt. Her words are impeccable, which shows her high emotional intelligence.

Xu Zhenying immediately expressed her attitude, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If others are kind to me, I will naturally treat them with courtesy."

Xu Lezhi was obviously dissatisfied. She had been like this since she was a child. The whole family relied on her second uncle, who was the only official, and she never paid attention to the other families.

In her eyes, the first, third, and fourth bedrooms are all vampires, they are all burdens, and they are all country bumpkins who cannot stand up to the stage. They are the pain points that will be mentioned every time she goes out to a party. The reason why the sisters in the boudoir couldn't lift their heads, she was about to refuse to give up, but she saw Xu Zhenying's face changed instantly. A smile appeared on the face that was cold just now, and she stood up to greet him.

It turns out that Gao Yamen is back.

What a flattery!

Xu Lezhi sighed in his heart, but couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.

Gao Yamen shook his head, as if he thought it was very funny. When he met the expectant eyes of the Xu family, old, weak, women and children, and thought of Master Xu Er's expression, Xu Zhenying couldn't help but feel pity.

He coughed lowly and said, "Second Master Xu said, let you women mind your men's business. He has his own plans in mind."

That's it?

A large group of people were all stunned.

She gave up the only valuable thing in her body in exchange for this news?No Morse code or code code or something like that?

Xu Zhenying was stunned for a moment.

She even began to reflect on herself, whether she had overestimated her second uncle's IQ.

How could he forget that his second uncle was a rotten scholar?
The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest and said, "Oh my God, I knew that my second son would be sour from studying, but I didn't expect that he would be so sour -"

The eldest aunt was so angry that she said, "Idiot, my second brother is so stupid!"

The faces of Erfang and his family were also extremely ugly, but because they were from the same family as their second uncle, it was difficult to say anything, so they remained silent in the face of everyone's venomous gazes.Xu Lezhi wanted to say a few words to his father, but looking at his grandmother's face, he finally held back.

She didn't want to get into trouble.

Xu Zhenying immediately asked Gao Yamen, "Uncle Gao, are my uncles and brothers okay?"

"Don't worry, I haven't been punished. Your second uncle is a coward. It is said that the adults who run errands will do anything if they scare him. The other few have nothing to do with the matter, so naturally they won't embarrass them."

Finally, it’s something of some value.

This is the best news a group of women have heard in the past few days.

The eldest aunt asked boldly: "Then, sir...will we be released soon?"

"How do I know this?" Gao Yamen was unhappy, "Ask the official."

Seeing that Gao Yamen was about to leave, Xu Zhenying quickly said: "My little girl also wants to ask Uncle Gao about something -"

Gao Yanei changed his face slightly and changed his attitude. He was rather smiling, "Your second uncle is right. Why does the girl ask so many questions?"

Xu Zhenying knew it well and simply said: "Uncle Gao, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she turned around, gestured to everyone in the Xu family who was looking at her, and signaled them with her eyes to get some money to send Gao Yamen away.

Everyone looked at each other, pretending not to understand. The eldest aunt just laughed, while the second aunt turned away with a troubled expression.

Now life and death are uncertain. If they are exiled and their homes are confiscated, then the money they have on them will be the last money left behind.

Therefore, no one is willing to take it out until the critical moment.

Xu Zhenying frowned, but the fourth aunt took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt." Xu Zhenying replied, and then quietly put the money into Gao Yamen's sleeve, "Uncle Gao, I want to ask you a few words. Is it safe for you to keep it?"

Gao Yamen collected the money and weighed it in his hand. He seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Zhenying's knowledge and knowledge, and his tone became a little better, "You ask."

"Since we were imprisoned, what other major events have happened in Bianjing City? It doesn't matter what, as long as you say..."

Although Gao Yamen didn't know why Xu Zhenying asked this, he didn't shirk the money from others. He just said: "It's a big deal...many officials have been beheaded and their homes confiscated. Well...there will be another one next door to you later. It is said that he is a third-grade man." A high official, he even served as the late emperor's tutor."

Tutor?Isn’t that the emperor’s teacher?

Was the administrative system of the Great Zhou Dynasty so unstable?
The official position of the third grade is already close to the ministerial cadre level, but you can do it at any time?

"So, are there any major cases in the city recently?"

"Hey, that's a lot. Do you know about the lumber case? In the past two months, the whole families of several big lumber merchants were killed. One of the loyal servants filed a complaint against the imperial court, saying that there were corrupt officials in the court who had embezzled their master's family. One million taels of silver. It seems that a great scholar named Lin is also involved. The capital has been very lively these days, and many scholars are making trouble at the gate of the palace. You are also lucky. Many students have been arrested in the past few days, and the cells are full. The people above have probably forgotten about you. Just wait—"

"Okay, thank you Uncle Gao for the suggestion." Xu Zhenying was polite.

After Gao Yamen left, Xu Zhenying was thoughtful.

The original owner was a pretty lady who stayed close to home and never paid attention to the changes in the court.

She only vaguely remembered that there was a prince before. Later, the prince died inexplicably. The former emperor had been a little manic and depressed. Later, he converted to Taoism. Not only did he build Taoist temples, he also gave Taoist officials officials, exempted them from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even issued ultimatums based on his status. Then you can receive the monthly salary just like a natural person.

Suddenly, the number of Taoist priests in the Great Zhou Dynasty increased sharply. The poor men in the Great Zhou Dynasty either ran to be eunuchs or Taoist priests. The expenses of Taoist priests and temples accounted for a large proportion, and even became a huge financial burden. .

Before the death of the late emperor, he became increasingly confused and distrustful of the civil servants of the court.Not to mention the bloodbath of the civil servants, they have also been promoting the status of eunuchs intentionally or unintentionally. The eunuch forces headed by Li Ping and the civil servant group are in opposition to each other, and the three parties restrict each other.

Immediately afterwards, the late emperor drove the second prince, who had the loudest voice, to the deserted Qiongzhou, and ordered that he could not enter the capital without being summoned, otherwise it would be regarded as treason.

Immediately afterwards, the seventh prince, who was only four years old, was appointed as the crown prince. The little emperor came to the throne. He is now only six years old and completely relies on Zhu Guifei's family for all matters.Internally, there was Li Ping, the eunuch who had the exclusive power in accordance with the late emperor's order, and externally, Zhu Guojiu was assisting the regent. The two parties often had political differences, and orders were often changed overnight. The court was already in a state of chaos.
