Chapter 95:

Qin Zeyu was very proud of his elder sister's appreciative look, and pouring tea for his elder sister graciously, thinking that he was a really good brother.
Just as Qin Jiu and the others had guessed, the Su clan completely ignored Qin Zening’s points. After leaving Qin Mansion, he went to the clan to file a complaint. Then, the clan elders of the clan also came to Qin Zening. As a result, Qin Zening and them analyzed a little, and the patriarchs and elders did not dare to care about this matter.
After Su knew it, he became furious, smashed everything he could in the room, and cursed the Qin family three brothers and sisters again.
The Su clan was helpless and had to return to his natal family again, but the Su clan said that there was no way for them to get rid of them, so he sent the Su clan away.
Su Clan was disappointed, and he racked his brains for a whole night, thinking about all the friends and relatives he could think of. There was really no choice but to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to ask Qin Xin for help, and Qin Zening, Qin Jiu and others were neglected. G.
"The three in the long room are unconscionable and will not be saved!"
"Xin'er, Master Hou treats you very well, you have to try to help Master Hou!"
Su Clan lowered his posture and looked at Qin Xin imploringly. In just a few days, Su Clan, who was originally pampered, lost a lot of weight. He was several years old and looked haggard.
Qin Xin sighed helplessly, "Mother, you know that too, I can't be the master if the second prince is not there."
In fact, Qin Xin was more anxious than Su's.
Qin Xin knew that since the last time the Jingzhao Mansion was in court, Gu Jing had been cold and lukewarm towards her. Even to cover up, Gu Jing still stayed in her house every day, but her life was even more sad.
Gu Jing was going to be a concubine sooner or later, and I heard that it was probably Fang Hanjun, the daughter of Princess Yongle, and waited for her to show her filial piety.
Fang Hanjun was a distinguished birthplace, and was the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Liu and the emperor's niece. When she married in, he would have no place in the Second Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, for Qin Xin, the only person she can rely on is Qin Zhun, and with Qin Zhun, she can still stand firm.
Qin Xin didn't know what went wrong, it seemed that from the moment Qin Jiu returned to Beijing, his fate was completely derailed...
When Su Clan heard Qin Xin said that she could not be the master, he was angry, just like a firecracker, and scolded: "Qin Xin, do you have a conscience!"
"If you hadn't been asking Lord Hou for money again and again, how could Lord Hou have fallen to where it is today!"
"Do you think that if you are punished by Lord Hou, you will be fine?"
Su Clan got more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and sharper, venting all the setbacks he had suffered in the past few days to Qin Xin.
Seeing the scolding Su Clan, Qin Xin didn't show Su Clan's face like others did. Instead, he served tea and said in a good voice, "Mother calms down her anger, and her daughter is not a dodge. You can drink tea to quench the fire first."
Su Clan is not so easy to be fooled by Qin Xin, and sneered: "Okay, say it."
Qin Xin winked, and Shuxiang went out to guard the door for them.
Qin Xin said: "Mother, you also know that I am just a concubine now, and the second prince is not there, I have no heart and nowhere to do it. I am writing to the second prince, but the second prince is in Jinzhou, waiting for him to receive the letter. late."
Su: "..."
Su Shi was silent, and she also knew what Qin Xin said was true. The second prince was far away in Jinju, and the distant water could not save the nearby fire.
Qin Xin frowned and sighed: "In this case, Long Fang stood by and watched. My father was really going to suffer some crime... It's all about dismissal, I'm afraid..."
Su's eyes opened wide and his heart sank.
What Qin Xin meant was that in addition to dismissal, could he still seize the title of the Qin family?
Su Clan felt his throat difficult and said: "No, the emperor is a person who misses old love." That's right, the emperor is so kind to the emperor that the emperor can't ignore him at all.
"Yes, the emperor has always been soft-hearted." Qin Xin nodded, as if thinking of something, "I heard the second prince say that Yang Tianyu, the former servant of the staff, was also corrupt and accepting bribes, but he was killed suddenly, the emperor thought. He was also the veteran of the Three Dynasties anyway, so he didn't pursue this matter."
Su's eyebrows moved. She also knew about Yang Tianyu's violent death two years ago. It turned out that there was such an inside story.
Qin Xin was still saying with emotion: "Poor, the eldest son of his family has just won the second place, so Ding You is already. However, the second prince said that Ding You is also a good thing, and the Yang family can also retreat."
Ding You? Su's heart moved, his heart beat faster, the tea cup he held up stopped in midair, and he looked at Qin Xin again.
"It would be great if the second prince was here. I am a woman who does not leave the house. This vision is always not as broad as that of a man. The second prince must know how to help his father." Qin Xin frowned, worried and helpless. Look like.
Su Clan couldn't listen anymore, his eyes darkened and he remembered something.
There are precedents in this dynasty. If an official treats a crime and his parents dies, he can resign Ding You. As long as the crime is not serious, the emperor will pardon him. As expected, the official line will be cut off.
This was set by Emperor Xuanzong. Emperor Xuanzong was faint in his later years and loved the royal concubine. He also gave the royal concubine's father a marquee and gave him a big reward.
The concubine Wang’s father and brother were spoiled and arrogant. They were arrogant and domineering in Beijing. They caused a homicide case and killed a man. This incident caused a sensation in the capital. At that time, the spring was just around the corner. Sit in protest. In order to protect the imperial concubine's father and brother, Emperor Xuanzong used the excuse of the imperial concubine's grandmother to go west, and before the opening of the hall, he sent people to the royal family's hometown to make them worry.
The case is gone.
Su's heart beats, his heart beating faster and faster, echoing in his ears like a drum, and drank several sips of tea without eating.
Qin Xin saw that Su's soul was not in the house, he knew that the other party had listened to it, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were bright.
She quickly lowered her eyelids and drank tea under cover.
After putting down the teacup, her face was worried and worried again, and she said: "Mother, father Ji Ren has a natural appearance. He has just been transferred to Taipu Temple. Maybe she can retreat completely... …"
Su was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to what Qin Xin had said. He stared at the tea leaves floating up and down in the tea water, his thoughts turned to Ding You, thinking about a certain possibility.
if we assume……
Su's heart jumped again. Before she finished drinking a cup of tea, she couldn't sit down anymore, got up to say goodbye, and Qin Xin ordered Shuxiang to send her off.
As soon as Su clan left, Qin Xin relaxed himself, a cold smile curled up on his lips.
At this moment, a white woman in Tsing Yi walked out of the Bisha cupboard behind, it was Zhao Aman.
Zhao Aman also heard the conversation between Su Clan and Qin Xin. He glanced in the direction of the curtain and said in a low voice: "Oh, how can you make Lord Hou worry about it?"
Although Qin Xin didn't make it clear, Zhao Aman heard Qin Xin's intentions. Qin Xin hoped that Mrs. Qin would die, so that Qin Zhunding would be worried.
However, the old lady in the Hou Mansion is Qin Xin's nominal grandmother. If she is gone, not only Qin Zhun will want Ding You, but Qin Xin will also be filial.
Qin Xin said casually: "I know it in my heart. Mother, without the Lord's House of Loyalty, I have no support."
Zhao Aman eagerly took Qin Xin's hand, frowning and persuaded: "Da Ya, I know that Master Hou can help you, but you must not keep filial piety with this pledge. You have to take advantage of the second prince and concubine not to pass. Hurry up, Mr. and his grandson to keep your position."
"Oh, you listen to my mother, this man loves the new and dislikes the old. The second prince likes you now, so he treats you well, but what about the future?"
"There is no smell of wild flowers in the family flowers. There are many little in and outside the mansion who want to climb Gaozhi. When the second prince changes his heart, you will not have time to regret it!"
"This woman, the most important thing is the son. The son is your support. The mother takes her son as the most precious."
Zhao Aman felt that his motherly heart was for the sake of his daughter, and he kept talking.
When Zhao Aman talked about giving birth to a son, Qin Xin's face was not good, and her pretty face was pale.
Qin Xin was reluctant to give up her current position, but when faced with Gu Jing, she was panicked, especially at night, when they were lying on the same couch, she often couldn't sleep all night, and she didn't even dare to move. .
To be honest, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief when Gu Jing led troops to Jinzhou to suppress bandits.
However, the bandits in Jinzhou can't make any waves, and Gu Jing will return to Beijing sooner or later. But if she wants to keep her filial piety, then Gu Jing will not be able to rest in her room anymore.
Qin Xin felt increasingly impatient when he heard Zhao Aman's left "imperial grandson" and his right "son".
However, there are some things that are not humane enough. Qin Xin can only endure the irritability in his heart and vaguely perfuse: "Mother, you don't understand. There are priorities, Ding You is the only way to save Lord Hou. I'm still young. ."
Zhao Aman thought, too, her daughter is only fifteen years old, her face is very beautiful, and she can always afford to wait a year, so she smiled and said, "Ya, you know what you know."
The room calmed down, and Qin Xin raised his eyes and looked at the courtyard outside the window. At this moment, there was no sign of Su Clan outside.
Su Clan was already in the carriage. After coming out of Qin Xin, she was absent-minded. Thinking of Qin Xin's words, she originally wanted to return to the Hou Mansion. Halfway through, she changed her mind and ran to her family. After that, I went to see Qin Zhun in prison.
When she got out of the prison, Su's whole person was even more dazed, only to feel that the sun outside was so dazzling, that her eyes were sore and sore.
This time, she let the carriage go directly back to the Hou Mansion. At this time, the sunset had already set halfway down, dyeing the clouds in the sky red.
"Mother, how is it? Isn't the second sister willing to save?" Qin Sheng had been waiting anxiously in the Hou Mansion, and when he learned that the Su Clan had returned, he eagerly greeted him.
"..." Su Clan didn't speak, as if the three souls and seven souls were half gone.
Qin Sheng thought that Su’s silence was a positive answer. He was so angry that he had a pretty face and gritted his teeth angrily: "Oh, Qin Xin, ungrateful! Fortunately, I used to help her like this and treat her like a sister, father Mother is also busy with her heart and lungs so that she can marry the second prince."
"Unexpectedly, something happened to the Hou Mansion. She turned her face on her face and didn't recognize anyone, so she was the same as Daodong, Qin Jiao and the others."
"..." Su Clan walked towards the main courtyard without hearing it, still silent.
Qin Sheng knew that the Su family had been running around for his father these days, and thought that probably only their mother, daughter and younger brother were in the family, and they were truly good for his father.
Qin Sheng took a sigh of relief in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he complained: "People in this world have fallen into trouble. This is the case with Brother Tong, Qin Xin is like this, and so is my grandmother."
Speaking of Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Sheng was even more angry and bit his lower lip.
"Mother, I just went to beg my grandmother again, but my grandmother wouldn't let me in...what do you mean by grandmother?"
"We have always been filial to our grandmother, and we have done our best to serve her and serve her. Dad was only involved in this matter for the Qin family. Now disaster is coming, but grandmother has done nothing. Is she going to abandon her father?"
"I know that grandma doesn't have to worry about her. Anyway, even if Dad has committed a crime, grandmother still has a grandma under her knees, and she can live there."
"I think that grandmother pleased Grandma this time, it must be because Grandma can support her in the future."
Qin Sheng whispered and complained, feeling angrily, feeling that whether it was Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Zening, Qin Xin, and others, they were all indifferent people who could only share the wealth and the nobles and cannot share adversity.
Qin Sheng just complained and grumbled, but the speaker had no intention and the listener had the heart. He listened to Su's ears, hated the more he listened, and tightened the veil in his hand.
Yes, Mrs. Qin is not worried, anyway, without the second room, she still has other good grandsons and granddaughters who will support her. Having lost the mandate of the Lord’s House of Zhongyi, Qin Zening will invite her to this grandmother again in the future Fell another mission, but what about your own family?
If Qin Zhun is convicted, even if he is not deprived of the title, he will be dismissed from office. It is conceivable that he will have to pay for the money and even fill the holes in Changying Library, and the existing property of his own will be emptied. , Can barely compensate. But without the property, without the silver, how will the future live?
Su can't help but think of the bitter days when she was exiled in Minzhou fourteen years ago. In just three years, it was deeply etched in her memory.
Those three years were too bitter. I ate coarse tea and light rice, wore coarse linen clothes, and lived in an old shabby room.
Su Clan doesn't want to live like that anymore in this life, and it was only three years last time. This time, will she live like that in the second half of her life?
Just thinking about it, the Su family felt terrible. Poor and lowly married couples are always sad. This is an unchanging truth throughout the ages.
Su Clan felt that he was almost out of breath. At this moment, he heard Qin Sheng's choking sound in his ears.
Su Clan stopped, Qin Sheng pinched a kerchief and wiped his red eyes, grabbed Su Clan's arm, choked up and said: "Mother, our family is really bad luck!"
Qin Sheng thought of Qin Zhun and then of himself, his eyes were even redder, and he was extremely wronged.
"Grandma is too eccentric. I want to marry those other rascals. Grandma didn't feel distressed. She knew the eccentric long room." As she said, her tears fell down, one piece. The face was crying pitifully.
She is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and if she really marries such a rascal, her life will be ruined! How willing is she!
Qin Zhuo is going to marry Chen Jun Wang as Jun Wang. Although Qin Xin is only the concubine of the second prince, it will not be a problem to be a side concubine in the future. She is the only one involved in such a marriage...
"Sister Sheng, don't cry." Su's heart distressed, and hurriedly took the kerchief and carefully wiped her tears. "If there is a mother, she will never let you marry the Cheng family and other shabby households."
Thinking of her daughter's marriage, Su's heart felt like a thousand needles pierced, and hatred surged.
His daughter Qin Sheng saw that it was coming next year, and the old lady from the Cheng family came to the house not long ago, saying that she would start preparing for the marriage now, and it happened that the three books and six rituals came down, and after Qin Sheng and Yan could get married.
"Really?" Qin Sheng looked at Su clan expectantly, and his eyes glowing with water regained their glamour.
"Don't worry, mother has a way." Su Clan said slowly, calming his daughter with a soft voice.
The marriage between the daughter and the Cheng family was bestowed by the imperial family, and at most it could only be dragged to the daughter and the 笄. The emperor’s verbal order cannot be disobeyed, but there are exceptions. For example, if the daughter is to be filial...
Bang bang bang!
Su's heartbeat speeded up, and that thought was unprecedentedly strong at this moment, suppressing the previous hesitation.
One year of filial piety is enough for her to ruin the marriage and find another good marriage for her daughter.
Bang bang bang!
Su's heart almost jumped out of his throat, his eyes shining brightly.
Most of the sunset in the sky has fallen, and the sky is half-bright and half-dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates Su's face half-bright and half-dark, very strange.
In autumn, the daylight becomes shorter, and the night falls soon. The noise of insects in the grass in the courtyard keeps making the night quieter.
At this moment, the Qin Mansion in Hulu Lane is very lively.
The three brothers and sisters gathered in the main hall of the front yard, and Gu Zezhi was also there.
The four had just had dinner, and the maids served them hot tea and fruit after dinner.
Gu Zezhi was chatting with Qin Zening. The chat was about the Shenshu camp. Starting from the admiral Yu Taijing, he talked about the Shenshu camp deputy admiral, camp officer, left and right lieutenants, and generals all the way...
Qin Zening listened attentively. He grew up in the capital and knew a little bit about these capital generals, but at this moment, after listening to Gu Zezhi, he knew that his knowledge was superficial.
Gu Zezhi knew exactly where these people came from, where they had served before, and who they were friends with or subordinates to Shangfeng.
Qin Zeyu wanted to hear too, but his sister stared at him endorsing, but whenever he paused and stumbled, he could see his sister's gaze eagerly looking at the ruler next to him.
Qin Zeyu felt bitter, so he had to concentrate on endorsing the book first, thinking about asking his brother to repeat it to him later, this is also to help his brother "review" the homework, right?
After finally reciting the last word, Qin Zeyu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly pricked up his ears to listen to Gu Zezhi's words, and listened to Qin Jiao casually saying: "Next!"
Qin Jiu threw the book in his hand, and Qin Zeyu quickly caught it.
"My back is stumbling, do you plan to memorize this way when Mr. tomorrow checks your homework?" Qin Jiao scolded the bear boy with a straight face, "read it ten more times."
One of Gu Ze, who was sitting next to Qin Jiu, was talking while paying attention to their siblings. Seeing Qin Jiu's cup was empty, he added pomegranate juice to her cup.
"Sister..." Qin Zeyu's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he wanted to discuss with Qin Jiu, it would be okay for him to go back and read again later. Gu Sange is rare. As the master, he should treat Gu Sange well, right?
But Qin Jiu thought that good memory is not as good as bad writing, and added: "Go back and copy it again..." Isn't it too little to copy again?
"..." Qin Zeyu almost cried to show his sister.
At this time, Gu Zezhi handed the cup filled with pomegranate juice to Qin Jiu's hand and looked at her with a smile, "This pomegranate juice is good." Not only is it sweet, but it is also suitable for moisturizing the throat and alleviating autumn dryness.
Qin Jiu was feeling a little thirsty, so he took two sips of pomegranate juice, thinking that Gu Zezhi liked it, and said generously: "This pomegranate was sent from Zhuangzi. It is sweet and fragrant. If you like it, take it later when you leave. Two baskets go."
When she drank the pomegranate juice, the cuffs slipped slightly, revealing a stretch of frosty wrist. On her wrist, she wore the gold bracelet with rubies that Gu Zezhi had given a few days ago. The big rubies were like crystal pomegranate grains. So, colorful.
She really likes her gift! The corners of Gu Zezhi's lips were raised higher and his voice was soft, "Well, I like it very much."
Qin Zening's eyes twitched, and he always felt that Gu Zezhi's words were concealed in his words. It would be too arrogant to tease his sister in front of him!
Qin Zeyu looked at his sister talking with Gu Zezhi, he was relieved, and gave Gu Zezhi a grateful look. Thanks to the third brother Gu for helping me, if I let his sister go on, maybe copying once will become copying ten times.
Qin Zeyu said generously: "Gu Sange, when you finish eating, come and tell me that I will send you a few more baskets with Sanjie. Don't be polite!"
Qin Zening: "..."
Is this unhearted bear kid really his brother? Isn't it a mistake?
Gu Zezhi smiled deeper and took a sip of pomegranate juice, his thin lips were dyed redder by the bright red pomegranate juice, adding a bit of beauty.
At this time, a rush of footsteps outside the hall broke the tranquility of the night, and the heavy gasp overwhelmed the fine insect sounds outside.
A little maid in Tsing Yi came running out of breath, and without taking a breath, she crossed the threshold and entered, saying: "Uncle, Mother Cui is here, saying that there is something urgent."
Qin Zening, Qin Jiu, and Qin Zeyu all had a heartbreak.
Mother Cui was served next to Mrs. Qin. There was a curfew at this time, and she suddenly ran over, always giving people an ominous premonition.
After a while, Mother Cui came to the main hall with another little maid. Her face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she said anxiously: "Madam... she is not very good, uncle, third girl, fifth master, hurry up Go back to Hou Mansion to see Mrs. Tai."
The complexion of the three brothers and sisters changed, and Qin Zening hurriedly asked, "What happened to grandma?"
Madam Cui took a breath and said in a panic: "Mrs. Madam was okay before dinner. After dinner, she said her stomach was uncomfortable, and she seemed to be incapable. Madam makes digestion tea, but after drinking digestion tea, people feel even more uncomfortable and can't get up when lying on the couch..."
Mrs. Tai was unwell. Mother Cui was supposed to be waiting for Mrs. Tai, but she asked the doctor to ask for a doctor. The doctor didn’t come for a long time, so she asked Su if she would ask the third girl to help get a doctor to pass the house. Came to show Mrs. Tai, but Su was scolded:
"Mother Cui, you are an old man in the mansion. What a trivial matter, you are bluffing!"
"You always mention the third girl, do you want to use the third girl to suppress me?!"
"Mother is just a little uncontrollable, please ask for a doctor!!"
Grandma Cui could see that Su Shi was breathing with the third girl, so she just refused to ask a doctor. Seeing Mrs. Qin Tai's appearance getting weaker and weaker, Mother Cui felt uneasy and slipped out of the chaos.
"When I came out, the doctor hadn't arrived yet, and I don't know what the wife is doing now." Grandma Cui said worriedly.
Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu both had deep furrowed eyebrows, and Qin Jiao thought thoughtfully: Why did Mrs. Qin Tai suddenly get sick? Three days ago, she was clearly fine when she came here.
Qin Zening hurriedly said, "Let's go over and take a look."
In any case, Mrs. Qin is sick, and they must go over and take a look.
The three brothers and sisters got up one after another. Qin Zening was about to order the young man to hire a doctor, so he listened to Gu Zezhi's suggestion: "Take my post and ask a doctor."
Those in the Zhongyi Marquis were not qualified to use imperial physicians, but Gu Zezhi was in the clan and had the rank of county king, so he could call imperial physicians for consultation.
Naturally, Qin Zening would not be polite with Gu Zezhi, and quickly ordered the young man to prepare his pen and ink, and then called the butler, and ordered him to take Gu Zezhi's post to the Tai Hospital, and the Tai doctor to go directly to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.
Seeing this, Mother Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanking that she had taken this trip.
The three brothers and sisters and Gu Zezhi hurriedly rushed towards the gate of Yimen, the silver moonlight softly spilled down, and the shadows of the trees and cinnamon burst into waves.
Gu Zezhi suddenly said to Qin Zening, "Aning, do you remember Feng Shizheng?"
Qin Zening raised his eyebrows in doubt, and then thought of something, his eyes widened, and it was hard to hide his shock, feeling that the original fragrant cinnamon was so dense that it was a little depressing.
Gu Zezhi's voice was not too loud, and it happened that only Qin Zening and Qin Jiu heard it.
Qin Jiu on the other side of him pulled his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, meaning--
What do you mean by this sentence?
Gu Zezhi said: "Feng Shizheng served as chief ambassador in Huizhou four years ago."
Qin Jiu couldn't even remember the courtiers now in the court, let alone the officials four years ago. He could only tell from Gu Zezhi's tone that Feng Shixiong seemed to have encountered some changes four years ago, so she talked again. To pull Gu Zezhi's sleeve corner, which means--
You continue.
Gu Zezhi bowed his head and talked to her in a low voice. Four years ago, when the flood occurred in Huizhou, Feng Shizheng ordered Hongfeng County to open the floodgates to release the flood. The estimation was wrong, and a village was flooded. Thousands of people were left homeless. Feng Shizheng should have gone to Beijing for trial. When his mother died, Feng Shizheng was worried about him and returned to his hometown to be her mother.
