Chapter 533: Eccentricity
The imperial court issued a holy decree, and the task of suppressing bandits fell on Ji Xuan. Huo Changqing got the news, called Yuxi over, and asked, "Ji Xuan suppressed the bandits, did our previous plan fail?" Huo Changqing thought that this plan had failed, but he wanted to hear Yuxi's opinion.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "If Ji Xuan had a heart, there wouldn't be so many bandits in the northwest. Ji Xuan's suppression of bandits is just a formality. In the future, there is a chance that the bandits will be worse than now. "Why are there so many bandits in the northwest, the reason is Ji Xuan. Since Ji Xuan became the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, more than a dozen new taxes have been added. The common people can't survive, so they naturally want to be bandits.
Huo Changqing glanced at Yuxi and asked, "How can you be so familiar with government affairs?" Taxes, government decrees, and laws, these Yuxi were so easy to come by, Huo Changqing had to be surprised.
Yuxi said with a smile: "There are all kinds of books in the library of the Guogong Mansion, so I will borrow them to read them if I have nothing to do on weekdays." If my eldest brother is discussing with his staff, I will also be in attendance, and after a long time, I also know a little bit. ”
Huo Changqing was a little strange, he didn't know why Han Jianming would let Yuxi listen to the affairs of the court. It's just that Huo Changqing didn't ask this question. Because it makes no sense to ask.
Yuxi said: "Uncle Huo, you must do your best to train a group of people and release them." It's okay now, but if the news lags in the future, it may bring immeasurable losses. ”
Huo Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, at the end of the year, He Rui had already sent a group of people out. Most of these people were scouts in the former military camp. "Scouts, people who spy on the enemy. These people are the most suitable to go to the local area to find out the news. This is also the reason why Huo Changqing must agree to Yunqing.
Yuxi was very surprised and said, "Why didn't I know about this?" Yunqing had never told her about such a big thing.
Huo Changqing said with a smile: "At that time, you were still recuperating, and Yunqing didn't want you to be tired, so I'm afraid you forgot about it later." After a pause, Huo Changqing said, "I think it can be divided into two parts." One is controlled by Yunqing itself, and the other is controlled by you, so it is not easy to make mistakes. ”
Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Huo Changqing nodded and said, "I have already selected the people, and I will take them to Huaishuzhuang after two ****." If there is anything in the future, you can send a letter to Huaishuzhuang!" In fact, Huo Changqing had some regrets, and Zao Zao couldn't follow.
After speaking, Yuxi returned to the backyard, and before she could start the council, she heard the grandmother of the Zhao family coming over. Yuxi asked, "What's the matter with Grandma Zhao?"
Zijin said: "It looks like it's in a hurry. ”
Seeing Grandma Zhao, Yuxi knew that it was Tu's dystocia. Yuxi was shocked and asked, "Sister Tu's due date is in May, why did she give birth now?"
Grandma Zhao smiled bitterly: "My younger brother and sister accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. "It's been nine months, and this fall is not premature.
Yuxi had a suspicious look on her face and asked, "How can you slip and fall?" Seeing that Grandma Zhao looked embarrassed, but didn't say it directly, she was even more puzzled in her heart.
Grandma Zhao came over this time because she had something to ask for: "I heard that Madam Lan next to Madame is good at delivering babies, and I want to ask Mama Lan to come over to help." ”
If it was someone else, Yuxi would still think about it, but Tu Qingmei had such a good relationship with her, she couldn't sit idly by, and immediately let Mother Lan follow Grandma Zhao to the Zhao family. And Yuxi originally wanted to go over to have a look, but just looking at Grandma Zhao's unwilling face, she dispelled this idea.
Yuxi called Zijin and said, "Go and inquire, how could the second grandmother of the Zhao family be born prematurely?" Therefore, this premature birth plus dystocia must have an inside story, but I don't know if Grandma Zhao is involved.
In the evening, Yuxi knew the reason for Tu Qingmei's premature birth. It's really Yuxi who thinks about it a lot, this matter has nothing to do with Grandma Zhao, it is Tu Qingmei's mother's family that caused the trouble. Tu Qingmei's eldest brother beat someone after drinking and disabled the other party. The other party didn't want money, just to get justice, so he sued the person directly to the yamen.
Tan Tuo took the paper, and after verifying the matter, he imprisoned Tu Qingmei's eldest brother. The Tan family wanted to fish people out, but Tan Tuo did not agree, only said that he would act according to the law.
Tu Qingmei's sister-in-law didn't know where she learned that Tan Tuo was the doorman of the Guogong Mansion, and her sister-in-law Tu Qingmei was like sisters to the Han family's aunt and grandmother, so she wanted Tu Qingmei to ask Yuxi for a favor and let her out.
Tu Qingmei didn't agree, but the two of them had a dispute, and I don't know why, Tu Qingmei slipped and fell to the ground. It can only be said that this incident was really an accident and not a conspiracy.
Yuxi was very surprised when she heard this, and said, "Sister Tu is nine months old, and her sister-in-law still wants her to intercede with me?" This sister-in-law of the Tu family is good, she doesn't care about the big-bellied sister-in-law at all, but can quarrel with the sister-in-law, I really don't know what to say.
Zi Jin said: "Tu Qingmei's sister-in-law, Hua, is a girl from a craftsman's family, and she has been spicy since she was a child. When the two families were married, the children were still young, and the Tu family had not yet developed at that time. After the Tu family made a fortune, Master Tu felt that he couldn't be treacherous, so he still let his son marry Hua. It's just that after this Hua family became a young grandmother of an official family, her mentality has not changed, and she is still a country man. For this reason, there were a lot of jokes in Tan Binh City. ”
Yuxi asked, "What kind of person is Sister Tu's eldest brother?"
Zi Jin said: "I don't have any skills, but it's not a problem, my only preference is to drink, but the amount of alcohol is not good, and the wine is also very poor." "People who get drunk and go crazy, where does the wine come from? Like Master, when he was drunk, he lay down in bed and slept, without a word of nonsense.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I remember Sister Tu's second brother, it seems to be in the army?" Master Tu was the capital of Sipin before, and his old injury recurred last year and he has been recuperating at home.
Zi Jin nodded and said: "The second master of the Tu family is very brave in battle, and now he is a hundred households from Wupin, and he is also married to a young lady from the official family." is also because the disparity in status is too great, and there are many contradictions. ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Every family has a book that is difficult to read. "I interact with Tu on weekdays, and Tu rarely talks about his mother's family.
Zi Jin said: "Madam, the person who Uncle Tu crippled is the son of the grandmother and aunt of the Zhao family, and the family is also one of the richest families in Xinping City, and there is only one such son, and now that he is disabled, he will definitely not give up." "If it's a flat-headed person, you may lose money and apologize. But people only have such a son, and they will definitely not swallow this breath.
Yuxi glanced at Zi Jin and said, "How can I meddle in local affairs?" If it is an unjust, false and wrongful case like Mr. Chen, she will help. This kind of thing, let's let Tan Tuo deal with it! It is estimated that Tu Qingmei also knows her principles, so she refuses to help intercede!
Although Yuxi didn't plan to help in this matter, she still hoped that Tu Qingmei could get through this difficulty.
In the middle of the night, Mama Lan returned. Mother Lan said: "Madam, fortunately, Zhao Er's grandmother and daughter are safe." "It's also because Tu has a good relationship with his wife, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to pick up the hot potato.
Yuxi hurriedly asked, "Is there nothing wrong with your body?" Many women can't regenerate because of dystocia.
Mother Lan shook her head and said, "No, after the child was born, Second Grandma Zhao fell asleep." As long as you sit well in confinement, there is nothing in the way. ”
Yuxi was really relieved.
Although Tu Qingmei gave birth to a girl, the Zhao family still attaches great importance to it. When washing the third day, the Zhao family invited a lot of people, which was very lively.
When Yuxi saw Tu Qingmei, her complexion was not bad, and she said, "I was frightened to hear that you had a difficult birth two days ago. ”
Tu Qingmei looked grateful and said, "I have already heard my mother-in-law say that thanks to Mother Lan at that time, if it weren't for her exquisite skills, I might not have been able to pass this ghost gate." ”
Yuxi said with a smile: "What are you talking about, it is also your great fortune." I have already asked Mother Lan, and she said that your body is not hindered, and you will not fall ill after sitting in confinement. After the confinement, you can adjust your body again, and you can have children again. Yuxi almost said that the body is not hindered, it can be reborn, and it doesn't matter if you have a daughter.
Tu Qingmei said with a smile: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's all the flesh that fell from my body, and I feel the same pain." ”
Seeing Tu Qingmei's attitude, Yuxi nodded and said: "It's good that you can think like this, if it doesn't hurt to be a mother, who else will feel distressed." Yuxi said that it was because she heard that the Chen family was extremely disgusted with her little daughter, and the child had been thrown to the nurse since she was born, and she didn't want to look at it on weekdays. This kind of behavior disgusted Yuxi very much.
Tu Qingmei smiled and said, "My mother-in-law loves Jingyao very much. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of the two children, so I took Ziyao over. "Her mother-in-law knows a lot of things, and her daughter follows her mother-in-law, and there is only benefit and no harm.
Yuxi couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Zhao, what a good mother-in-law." "Actually, Yuxi thinks that a talent like Mrs. Zhao is smart!
Tu Qingmei agrees with this very much: "If my mother can be like my mother-in-law, a bowl of water can be leveled, it would be great." "Mrs. Zhao is definitely a bowl of water for her two sons. For the two daughters-in-law, although they rely on the Ping family, it is also because the Ping family is the eldest daughter-in-law. But Mrs. Tu is different, Mrs. Tu is biased towards the eldest son, she thinks that the eldest son should take care of more if he has no talent, and the younger brother should be humble if he has talent. In this way, not only is the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very tense, but even the relationship between the brothers is not very good. Tu Qingmei didn't know how many times she persuaded her, but unfortunately it didn't work.
This is not easy for Yuxi to answer.
