Chapter 273: Jealousy
Xu Cuiyun lived in the palace for four or five days and finally realized that she was just an ordinary palace maid, with a lowly status that she couldn't offend anyone, and she had to do everything herself.
Even if they gave Zhu Yunwen and the Xu family 10,000 guts, they didn't dare to marry a concubine or a show girl at the critical moment when the emperor was about to die, so naturally she was sent in in the name of a new palace maid.
The reason why Zhu Yunwen agreed was to show favor to Xu Ji's father and son, these days he lives in the Qianqing Palace and has no time to pay attention to Xu Cuiyun.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Xu Cuiyun was driven to live with other palace maids on the sixth day, responsible for sweeping the floor and boiling water.
Now Xu Cuiyun can only accept her fate, and do rough work with self-pity and self-pity, how can the dignified Miss Xu family do this? I was ridiculed and abused by the little eunuch and the little palace maid all day long, and I was crowded with her at night, and the snoring disturbed people couldn't sleep, and they washed their faces with tears all night.
Now the most haode place in Qinhuai River is naturally Yang Qian'er's Qunfang Pavilion, not only the famous Jinling Sanyan gathered together, but also more than 50 popular fan sisters, the only one in the world has no semicolon.
In the evening, Xu Ji changed into a scribe's robe, and came straight with a group of guards and slaves, and his own old bustard took him in with a smile on his face.
In the private room, several small servants lined up on the table of eight immortals, and put a handbox full of rare and exotic fruits, a few pairs of toothbrushes, a pot of fragrant tea, a pot of good wine and a pair of small golden bells.
Xu Ji stretched out his hand to reveal a red gold dragon head hairpin from his sleeve, with a Hanyu Arhat embedded in the middle. It was worth a lot of money, and the old bustard's eyes lit up and thanked him again and again.
"You can have a spring breeze with Li'er tonight, right?" Xu Ji picked up the wine glass with a smile, "I have been back and forth more than a dozen times, and my sincerity has been fulfilled, so how much silver will you go home with me?" ”
The old bustard smiled: "Eat one first!" The slave had already praised his brother's family background and talent reputation, but the pity was arrogant and didn't spit out, just said that it doesn't matter if you are a lover, you won't marry. ”
Xu Ji drank three glasses of wine in a row, and said: "Xu is indeed sincere to her." Didn't come to visit every night for so many days? I haven't even touched my little hands. It's the people who like her. ”
"My brother's sincerity touches the heavens, and my mother lifts up her daughter Xiexie." The old bustard's grinning tone changed, "On that day, Li'er relied on her appearance and talent, and Wenmo and bamboo strings were given the name of Bai Yiqing. I served with three girls for a few days. Although it was not washed by Xu Gongzi, the silver bottle. But that can also be called a famous daughter, compared to ordinary powder. The body is full of gold, silver and gemstones, and the antique jade, calligraphy and paintings sent by scribes and nobles are piled up. I think that the skinny horse in Suzhou and Hangzhou still has one or two thousand gold, let alone her? ”
Xu Ji raised his head and ate another one, his face was gloomy, he had a lot of money in his hands, and he immediately said angrily: "Don't forget that Lao Tzu is a brocade guard, only two thousand taels of silver, if you don't want your group of Fang Pavilion to simply close the door, Xu Hao is my brother, how can it be true." ”
The old bustard hurriedly said, "Oops! It turned out that the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, since it was Xu Gongzi's brother, so the mother would make the decision for her daughter, but she had to follow the rules of the yard. ”
Xu Ji turned angry and rejoiced, unconsciously ate another one, and said with a somewhat drunken smile: "I understand, isn't it just a gift, a marriage, a thank you gift or something, and his relatives, add boxes, Taoist joy, at least thirty tables of banquets, reward money, etc., nothing more than add another three or five hundred taels of silver, what is it?" ”
"My brother is really an expert." The old bustard giggled, and immediately asked the little maid to fetch an auspicious day for the next ceremony, "In ten days, the wedding will be auspicious, what do you think?" ”
Xu Ji said with an itch: "Yes, but tonight I have to invite Li'er to have a glass of wine with me and sing a song, right?" ”
"That's not good, rules are rules, how can we meet before we get married?" The old bustard deliberately kept a straight face and smiled, "Mom will call you a beauty." ”
"Forget it, just call someone to sing."
Xu Ji really likes that Chu Li'er, her appearance and talent are much stronger than that of his wife and a concubine, and he doesn't want to make Li'er jealous at this pass. The old bustard smiled, said a moment, turned around and went out.
Just as a person was pouring himself a drink, he heard the laughter from next door, Xu Ji's face changed slightly, and he got up and walked to the wall.
"This yard is worth a damn self-esteem, a bitch is a bitch, do you really think it's everyone's lady? The young master broke into the door directly, and Chu Li'er was reluctant at first, but she was pressed on the bed by the young master to be useful, and she didn't stop screaming? ”
“haha! I heard that Xu Ji likes Chu Li'er very much, and now the soup was eaten by the young master, and the young master said that when he had enough fun, he would call our big guys to go together, and give Xu Ji more than a dozen green hats to wear it, and be a living king for the rest of his life. ”
Xu Ji's face changed greatly, his lungs were about to explode, he turned around and kicked open the door, and yelled at his subordinates: "Beat all the bastards next door to me to death, and throw them all into the Qinhuai River." ”
After speaking, he snatched the embroidered spring knife on the waist of the guard, and rushed inside angrily, I don't know how many guests and maids were knocked over along the way.
The thin blade easily reached in and cut off the door bolt, and the murderous Xu Ji pushed open the door, walked in with the knife, and bypassed the screen and suddenly jumped like thunder.
I couldn't see Chu Li'er, who couldn't see an inch, with tears on her face with her eyes closed, kneeling on the bed with her hands and feet towering her buttocks, with her movements swinging leisurely, her two white and tender breasts rose and fell, and a big hand pressed on it to knead it to her heart's content, just facing the direction he came in.
Xu Jingqin gasped and knelt behind the beauty, pressing Li'er's fragrant back with one hand, humming back and forth.
"Xu Jingqin, you brute, Lao Tzu wants your life." Xu Ji, who was already half-drunk, saw that his eyes were cracked, and he stepped forward angrily and slashed down.
"Ahh Chu Li'er was so frightened that her body collapsed on the ground, Xu Jingqin hurriedly leaned back, and shouted, "Someone! Killed. ”
Xu Ji shook his head with a knife, even if he was drunk, he knew that he couldn't kill the other party. Xu Jingqin is the lobby brother of his own family, and he has an official position.
But when he saw the murder weapon erected under Xu Jingqin's crotch with pieces of vermilion blood, Weng's mind was in a mess, and suddenly he couldn't care about anything, and slashed down with a knife.
Then rushed to a lot of people, I heard a sharp scream from inside, and hurriedly rushed in to take a look, Xu Jingqin covered his crotch and howled and rolled back and forth on the couch, blood gurgled out along his fingers, and the words on the snow-white sheet were shocking.
The guards and slaves of the Duke of Wei were enraged. When I stepped forward, I had to find Xu Ji desperately. And the people on Xu Ji's side were not to be outdone, they drew their blades and pounced, crackling into a ball.
In the end, several people on both sides were seriously injured and the lampstands were knocked down. The house was in shambles, and it was pitch black. Under the faint moonlight. Chu Li'er, who was affected by the pond fish, squatted in the corner bloody and shivered.
Xu Ji, who came to his senses, shouted: "Stop, go find the imperial doctor to bandage my cousin, eh?" ”
Xu Ji slowly lowered his head in disbelief. In the darkness, a small half of the sword blade reflecting the ghostly light was exposed on his chest, and he opened his mouth and didn't spit out half a word, and died of anger on the spot.
Half an hour later, Xu Yaozu hurried over on horseback in a hurry, and Xu Wen, who had a black face, waved his hand and ordered hundreds of brocade guards to rush into the Qunfang Pavilion.
Xu Yaozu turned over and dismounted three steps and walked into the hall in two steps, and saw Xu Ji lying on the ground without looking at him.
"My son!" Xu Yaozu knelt beside the corpse with tears in his eyes, and his arms trembled uncontrollably.
"Jingqin Jingqin." At the same time, Xu Huizu's roar was heard inside, and his only son, Xu Jingqin, died of bleeding due to his injuries and inability to be treated.
At this moment, it was the enemies who were very red when they saw each other, and Xu Yaozu roared: "Put them all together and go to the death row prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Xu Huizu, who came out step by step holding his son's corpse, had a pale face, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said angrily: "Who dare I think?" ”
Xu Yaozu gritted his teeth and said, "Actually killed my son and arrested him for me." ”
"The little town envoy dares to arrest me?" Xu Huizu was furious in his heart, but he still suppressed the murderous intent and said coldly: "Someone came to tie up their father and son, and enter the palace with the murderer's corpse." ”
"Who dare?"
This time it was Xu Wen's turn to shout, and he took out the embroidered spring knife and led his subordinates to greet him. The fifty battle-hardened soldiers around Xu Yaozu pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords with disdain, and the brocade guards who were rampant in the world suddenly became weak.
Looking at the frightened appearance of his subordinates, Xu Yaozu was shocked and sobered up, in terms of identity and status, how could he compare with the cousin of the dignified Duke of Wei and the official worship of the Zuo Dudu? If you see the emperor, the son and cousin will die together because of the jealousy of the wind, at most the two families will fight fifty boards each.
The most annoying thing is that the dead son is the crown prince's confidant, and the rest of his father and son have a general relationship with Zhu Yunwen, after all, Xu Yaozu and Xu Wen, as officials of Jinyiwei, are inconvenient to openly have close contacts with the East Palace.
What will you do to fight with Xu Huizu after the death of the first bixia? In the First Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Huizu is the Zuo Governor with the highest rank of military general, no matter his status is far from being comparable to himself, and he has always been loyal to Zhu Yunwen, and he has the support of the Yan Palace, and the relatives and friends of the Xu family are all over the court and the opposition.
And the weak father and son have no family to count on, and the foundation is not deep, it can be said that they are alone in the court, just like when they took refuge in Lanyu, they will be dismissed by Xu Huizu in a blink of an eye and even the family will be ruined, even if they can't die, they will have to be humiliated by Xu Huizu for the rest of their lives, and they can only hide at home like a lost dog.
By the way, there is also a nephew Xu Hao to rely on, Xu Yaozu immediately shook his head and sighed, the relationship between Xu Hao and Yan Wangfu is too close, the imperial grandson has said a few times about the concerns of the vassal king Xu Ji has said before his death, and it is too late to get rid of it, and besides, he can't pull off his old face to beg his nephew, and besides, what's the use of begging him? Could it be that Xu Hao still dares to be an enemy of his relatives?
Xu Yaozu, whose face was cloudy, slowly stood up, for the sake of his son's blood feud and for the future glory and wealth, he must make a decision at this moment.
Xu Yaozu looked at his cousin coldly, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu had gone out today, and said in a deep voice: "When this official came, he was given an edict from the Holy Lord, and Xu Huizu intended to rebel, so he was immediately escorted to the palace. ”
The guards of the Duke of Wei were in an uproar, the crime of attempting rebellion was too big, obviously in the communiqué of personal vendetta, the Jinyi guards looked at each other, and secretly said that the lord is the Xu family, is it crazy for the death of his son?
Xu Huizu sneered: "It's just a bloody mouth, Xu Yaozu, you are pretending to pass on the holy decree, go!" Let's go to the front of the court to confront each other. (To be continued......)
