Rebirth of First Daughter - Chapter 2266

The gorgeous sunlight, through the colorful leaves of the bodhi tree, is scattered in the yard.

In the past, a jujube tree was planted in the main courtyard, and the nickname of jujube also came from it. However, the jujube tree withered not long after they moved away. Later, Yuxi agreed to plant a bodhi tree here.

More than 40 years later, this bodhi tree grew luxuriantly and covered most of the courtyard. It’s cool to live in this yard in summer.

Yuxi lay on the rocking chair and said regretfully, “if your father is still alive, I can play chess with him here.”

Since cloud Qing left, Qiyou and Qixuan sister and brother take turns to accompany her, Yuxi is not alone. But every time I think of Yunqing, I feel depressed. Cloud engine is not around, the heart is always empty.

Because when Yunqing left, Yuxi wanted to follow. At that time, Qiyou brothers and sisters did not dare to mention Yunqing in front of her. But now in the past half a year, seeing Yuxi gradually recover, the two brothers are no longer taboo to mention cloud engine.

Qiyou said with a smile: “Niang, I don’t want to play with him just because of dad’s stinking chess basket.” Even if the chess skill is poor, the key is always regret. Sometimes he was so angry that he didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t have the courage. Don’t worry about it.

Yuxi said with a smile, “if you want your father to hear you, you must be scolded to death.” In fact, she didn’t want to play chess with Yunqing before. It’s boring.

Two people gossip a few words, hear the guard return to say that Kai Xuan came back.

Because Qixuan wanted to paint a landscape painting of Qujiang, he went to pick the scenery under the sun every day during this period.

Qiyou first took a shower and changed his clothes, then he came over.

Looking at the suntanned Qixuan, Qiyou joked: “when I go to Jiangnan, I’m afraid you can’t draw the third brother.”

Yuxi said with a smile, “if you can’t be busy, it’s better than if you’re idling all day.”

Qiyou’s face collapsed in an instant: “mother, I’ve been tired for more than 40 years. Now it’s the age of 60, shouldn’t you enjoy it? ” When I was young, I was caught by my elder brother and used as a strong man. I was very busy every day. On the other hand, his third brother has lived at ease all his life.

Mother and son two people you a word I a language of, open Xuan just beside smile didn’t cut in. He’s stupid, but he can’t say Kai you, so he doesn’t speak on such occasions.

Bingmei brought two plates of cut watermelon. Because Yuxi was old, the watermelon was only put in the shade, not even in the well. I’m afraid it’s too cold. Yuxi has diarrhea.

Yuxi took a bamboo stick and poked a piece to eat.

After eating two melons, Qiyou nodded and said, “this melon is sweeter than yesterday’s one.”

While eating melons, Qixuan asked Yuxi: “Niang, when do we leave for Jiangnan?” He plans to start painting tomorrow. He knows when to leave, and he has a number in his mind.

“Leave before mid autumn festival!”

Qixuan put down the bamboo stick and asked in surprise: “mother, why do you want to go before the Mid Autumn Festival?” He thought that he would go after the Mid Autumn Festival. Two yuan for one, and no need to spend the Mid Autumn Festival on the road.

Yuxi said, “do you want all the officials in the city to send us out of the city?” The momentum is so strong that it’s not peaceful to go.

Qixuan said: “Niang, when we go to Jiangnan, we can disguise ourselves and not let people see our identity.” Like he used to go out to play, it’s not so troublesome.

But he didn’t want to go out with two guards. As long as he does not take the initiative to identify himself, who knows who you are. Furthermore, Qixuan was just an idle prince at that time. He had no real power and could not threaten them. Even if he knew his identity, no one cared about him. But Yuxi is not the same. If she finds out that there is something wrong with her, WuShaMao will not be protected. These officials, of course, have to hold it.

Qiyou rolled his eyes and said, “it’s no use how we dress up.” Yuxi was so old, and he took them with him. He was very conspicuous. Unless Yuxi is asked to dress up as an old woman in the country, and they dress up as an old man in the country, maybe no one will recognize them. He doesn’t care, but Yuxi is so old that he can’t suffer like this.

Yuxi said with a smile: “even if we know our identity, they dare not bother me.” Several high-ranking officials of the buzhengshi also came once. In Qiyou, they hinted that Yuxi didn’t want to be disturbed and didn’t come again.

That night, Yuxi asked Yuzhi, “what’s the matter with Cao Ren?”

Yu Zhi said: “Mrs. Cao’s nephew has done a lot of business in Ho City. It is said that Mrs. Cao holds half of the shares. ” There are people in the court who are good officials. Similarly, it’s better to have an official business at home.

“Is it a proper business?”

Yu Zhi nodded and said, “it’s just business. Seafood from Fujian, tea, silk and porcelain from Jiangnan and medicinal materials from Yunnan are very popular here. ” It’s also because of Cao Ren. If he had not come here to do business and rob others of their jobs, he would have been excluded.

“What about salt and iron?” Salt and iron are strictly controlled by the imperial court.

Yu Zhi shook his head and said, “I didn’t touch this one.”

Yuxi Oh a way: “so, Cao Ren in addition to lust, no other big problem?” To Cao Ren this position, know that he likes beauty, some people sent beautiful young woman to him.

Yu Zhi nodded his head and said, “I haven’t found any other major problems for the time being.”

Yuxi’s face is a little ugly. Can not find corruption and bribery such things, Yuxi also don’t want to move him.

But Yu Zhi said: “empress dowager, the nine girls of the Lu family didn’t elope with the third young master of the Zhao family. However, it was originally scheduled to be carried into Cao’s house on the 20th of last month, but now the time has been pushed back. The exact time has not yet been decided. ”

It’s really a sin for a 53 year old man to abuse a 16-year-old girl.

Two days later, Cao Ren sent the prepared Mid Autumn Festival gift to Pingxi palace.

Originally thought, this is also Qiyou greeting him. But unexpectedly, Yuxi wants to see him.

Cao Ren not only did not feel flattered, but raised his heart. This ancestor is not easy to deal with!

If the Empress Dowager knew about the affairs of his family, he would not wait to see him.

After standing at the gate of the courtyard for more than half an hour, he was sweating all over and his official robes were soaked through. Just when Cao Ren couldn’t make it, Yuxi finally met him.

Seeing Yuxi, Cao Ren knelt on the ground and kowtowed: “the Empress Dowager is thousands of years old, thousands of years old.”

After the ceremony, Yuxi didn’t ask him to get up. Instead, he asked, “I heard that Lord Cao has taken a lot of concubines in recent years. I will be a bridegroom again in a few days. Mr. Cao, you are really old and strong! ”

Yuxi hates concubines, which is well known all over the world. Because of this, Cao Ren didn’t take the Lu girl into the house.

The most worrying thing is that it happened. Cao Ren did not explain, but knelt on the ground to confess: “is the minister did not hold, please punish the Empress Dowager.” People who work in officialdom are the smartest. Instead of making excuses to shirk responsibility, it’s better to admit one’s mistake frankly, so the punishment is also smaller.

It’s mainly about concubines. It’s not a crime. He believed that the emperor would not take off his black hat for this matter.

Yuxi said faintly: “you know whether you can’t hold it or you don’t want to shirk it at all. Don’t make it too late, Cao Ren. ” Just because nothing happens now doesn’t mean nothing will happen in the future.

When Cao Ren came out of Pingxi palace, his legs were soft.

Seeing that Yuxi was not happy, Qiyou asked, “mother, what did Cao Ren tell you?”

Knowing the whole story, Qixuan can’t help lowering his head. When he was young, he took a lot of concubines. Although these women are basically active climb up, can hear Yuxi disgust tone, or very ashamed.

Qiyou said without caring: “just find a reason and dismiss him.”

Yu Xi glanced at him and said, “state owned laws, family rules. The crime of committing any crime will be punished. Although Cao Ren is lecherous, he has not committed corruption or other crimes. I can’t deal with him according to my own preference. ” Even as a superior person, he can’t act according to his temperament. Setting a precedent, there will be no more scruples in the future. For a long time, the law was in vain. At that time, the emperor was free to do whatever he wanted, and it was easy to break the law. So even if he hated Cao Ren, Yuxi didn’t want to come and deal with Cao Ren.

Qi you said, “mother, why are you still depressed?”

Yu Xi sighed and said, “I think this world is too unfair to women. I don’t know when women can really be equal to men.” Although she made a lot of efforts, it also had some effects. However, it is deeply rooted that men are superior to women. Even after more than 50 years, it can not be changed.

“Mother, because of you, many women have the chance to study. Because of you, it’s easier for some women to get along with each other than before. ” As in the Zhou Dynasty, women and Li were regarded as disgraces. Many women can’t be separated from each other when they are rubbed to death. But now there is the protection of the law, as long as they give up, the mother’s family against the same can and from. And after he left, he could have a good time.

Qixuan also said: “Niang, you have done a lot.” It’s made by his mother. It benefits all women in the world.

Yuxi shook his head and said, “that’s enough.” However, she also knows that it is a long process for women to be equal to men, and she will never see it in her lifetime.

Because of this, Yuxi used less lunch than usual.

Qiyou wrote a letter to the capital. He has no power to dismiss Cao Ren, but his elder brother has!

Although Yuxi said Cao Ren had no big problem, there were several clean officials. As long as his elder brother wants to, he can dismiss Cao Ren with any accusation.

Qixuan know what Qiyou do, whispered: “brother, this is not good?”

With a snort, Qiyou said, “what’s wrong? Those people send beauty to Cao Ren, naturally they have something to ask for. Since Cao Ren accepted it, he must have done it for them. ” Of course, Cao Ren, the old fox, will not be left behind even if he works for these people.

If it’s normal, Qiyou won’t take care of it. But who let him make his mother unhappy. Who makes his mother unhappy, he will let it go.

Although Qixuan worked in Yamen for two years, he managed to deal with it. I’m not familiar with the officialdom. After listening to Qiyou’s words, I feel reasonable, so I won’t say more.

After a few days, Yu Zhi and Yu Xi said: “master, Cao Ren dismissed the singer in the house, and Lu’s girl also refused.” As for the concubine room in the house, it didn’t move. It is estimated that if these concubines are sent too deliberately, it will attract his opponent’s ideas.

Yuxi is noncommittal: “it’s just for me.” The dog can’t change eating excrement. How can Cao Ren change his temper with her two words. It’s just that she can’t change the world.

If you want to go to Jiangnan, you must make arrangements in advance. Qiyou asked, “mother, do we take a detour from Henan to Jiangsu, or do we take another route?”

Yuxi shook his head and said, “from Hubei to Jiangxi, then from Zhejiang to Suzhou.” Finally, he returned to Beijing from Suzhou.

At dawn on the second day of August, a group of people left the city as soon as the gate was opened. They did not disturb anyone.

It was not until Yuxi left the city that Cao Ren got the news. At the moment, he was so angry that he scolded: “what are you doing to raise you trash? How can such a big thing be reported now? ”

Cao Ren doesn’t have the guts to send someone to stare at Yuxi and Qiyou. If he is found on the head, he won’t be able to protect it. But in case something happened, he sent someone to watch not far from Pingxi palace. If there is anything unusual, these people will report back and forth. And this person thinks that Yuxi will go after the Mid Autumn Festival, so this period of time is relatively relaxed.

When Mrs. Cao knew that Yuxi had left, she was secretly relieved: “master, is it better for the Empress Dowager to leave?” You don’t have to worry all day.

The Great Buddha lived in Ho City, and even if she didn’t see them, Mrs. Cao would be at sixes and sevens. The Empress Dowager is famous for her aversion to concubines. During her years in power, many officials were stripped of their official posts because they spoiled concubines and killed their wives. The husband doesn’t spoil his concubine, but he likes beauty. If the Empress Dowager does not like her because of this, she will find a reason to blame her husband, but they will be finished.

Cao Ren thought of Yuxi’s words, gritted his teeth and said, “send all the concubines who haven’t been born in the backyard!” When I say this, my heart is bleeding!

Mrs. Cao is eager to send these goblins away! I don’t know how much money it costs to raise these goblins every year.

A few months later, Cao Ren was dismissed by the emperor for impeachment. Of course, that’s the end of the story.

It’s still hot in August. A group of people on the road at dawn, to noon will find a place to rest. Because of this, they walk very slowly. After 13 days of walking, I just passed Shiyan.

Qiyou said: “Niang, you will come to Gucheng County after a while. Let’s spend the Mid Autumn Festival there! ” It’s a different taste to spend the Mid Autumn Festival outside.

Yuxi shook his head and said, “if we don’t go to the county for the Mid Autumn Festival, we’ll find a farmer to live in.”

Qiyou hesitated: “isn’t that good? Mid Autumn Festival pays attention to a reunion. We’ve been intruding, aren’t we

Yuxi said with a smile: “if you have a dinner table with them, it will disturb you. It’s hard to come out. I want to take this opportunity to have a deep understanding of the real living standards of the people today. ” He used to live with Yunqing and often lived in the farmhouse.

“Help, help…”, “do you still have kingcraft…”

Then there was the cry of men and women, some women and some children; Then came a rude curse.

Hearing these voices, Yuxi called the leader of the guard and said, “go and ask what’s going on?” She used to travel with Yunqing, but nothing happened. There are a lot of things going out this time.
