Chapter 209: The Year Pass (2)

"Old lady ......" Xihong sat down, smiling like a flower, the old lady brought more people from Gongyi County are mostly big men, and now these extra women in Zhao Shi's back house are either his subordinate wives or some outsiders, she took care of Zhao Shi's living when she was in the palace, and after coming here, unconsciously, some things in the inner house are in addition to the old lady, which is what she said.

These days of cleaning and cleaning, these many people's food and drink, wearing clothes, and accommodation arrangements, she is not less worried, often tired at the end of the day and unwilling to move the place, but then again, this bitter food is enjoyable, willing, now she lacks an official title, this is also her biggest concern after Zhao Shi, now the person who can be the master of the adult is in front of him, a sentence is more than her thousand words, but she can't help but try her best.

So these days, no matter how tired and busy, the first thing to do every day is to come to the old lady to say goodbye, say hello, what is missing, where is uncomfortable, immediately to arrange a proper paste, the old lady is from the countryside, always idle, she deliberately left a place in the backyard, and wait for the spring next year to plant some vegetables and fruits, but also for the old lady to find a livelihood in her spare time, and from the nearest few maids who went with her, she waited for the old lady.

There is also Zhao Shi's sister Zhao Cuier, she specially asked people to get a pair of puppies back from Dongshi, it is said to be a mastiff from Tubo, with a fierce temperament and a very protective owner, but when she bought it, she looked like a tiger with a tiger's brain, her teeth had not yet grown, and she couldn't see any ferocity. Zhao Cuier liked it very much at first sight, holding her heart and liver baby, before and after, Sister Xihong, Sister Xihong, the one called was called an intimacy, but Fan Rouer just said thank you softly, and it didn't show how enthusiastic she was. But the strength of teasing the puppy is not much worse than Cui'er, and it is obvious that she likes it very much, how much can a little girl who is not a little big think? It's not taught by others, but people have a brother-in-law next to them, and there is an old lady on it, obviously not something she can compare, and then think of what happened to those sisters who went out of the house, which hurt her own life. Although he is in power in the house, he has become more and more cautious in his actions.

However, the old lady is a kind person, very easy to get along with, and she is not very used to coming here, and she is uncomfortable wearing clothes. I still think about my son, and comfort the old lady with two words of leniency, but after hearing the old lady call her old man a wild boy, think about the old man's unsmiling temperament on weekdays. It's awkward, but it's also a little funny.

"You are relieved, the lord must be too busy with military affairs and can't let go, otherwise he won't come back for the New Year, I inquired outside, and the lord of the left guard didn't come back, and the lord must be the same situation......

On weekdays, I listen to my lord talk about some things in his hometown, and he is very concerned about you and your family. You have returned to Beijing for the old age, this happy day is still ahead, after this year, I will take you around the good places in Beijing...... The Buddhist temple in Xishan can not go on this cold day, but after a few days it is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the lights can't be lit up all night, so let's go and join in the fun, as long as you are happy here. The old man also had less to worry about. The errands were done quickly, and they came back sooner. Wouldn't it be nice to have a family reunion at that time? Do you always say that's right? ”

Shi Niang laughed when she heard it, she is not a beautiful girl, even the small jasper is not touched, she is a little worried about this son, she always feels that it is not as stable as living at home, but marrying and obeying her husband, and her husband and son are the rules for thousands of years, and now that her husband is gone, she can't stop her son from doing anything, but her son is her heart's meat, and she always thinks about whether her son eats well, whether he sleeps safely and so on, and he always can't let go of his son when he doesn't see his son......

Especially when I came to Jingshi to see such a big mansion, and then looked at the group of warblers and Yanyan around the surroundings, all of them looked like flowers and rare people, and my head was a little bit unturned, these days I am still familiar with it, I want to put it on the first moment, and I saw that these are from a big family, and I have to call a young lady, but now the people around me are an old lady, and she really doesn't know what to say.

Seeing that the girl next to her was more capable than a man inside and out, and the long and handsome girl said this, she just said in a stacked voice: "Okay, good, I'm good at everything, the stone is busy with official affairs, I don't understand it here, and I can't help much, I just hope that he won't do things badly......"

When everyone heard her say this, they all chirped and giggled, and Du Shi next to him smiled and said: "You, just relax, my family has a short temperament, and no one can control it, but the letter can be said, he is now most convinced by Lord Zhao, and he wants to follow Lord Zhao to make meritorious contributions, you said that he is in his thirties...... So what else do you have to worry about? ”

"Auntie, are you talking about the brother of the Zhao family?" The little girl finally swallowed a large piece of orange petal, licked her lips, looked up at the stone lady and asked.

The people around laughed, seeing that she was innocent and coquettish, and a little hazy shy, her small appearance was lovely, Du Shi smiled and said: "This brother can shout sweetly, but now no one will listen to it, and when the time comes to see the real person and shout like this, no one is distressed?" ”

The little girl's face turned red, and it was most appropriate to describe it as embarrassing, and when she turned around, she drilled into the stone girl's arms, making everyone laugh.

At this time, a tall girl walked in outside, her face was a little black, her eyebrows were deep, her chest was towering, and her face was concave and convex.

This is one of the ten beauties that Zhao Shi won from the Jurchens, she is a Khitan person. uses the Han surname, Xihong is precautionary against these ten beautiful beauties, isn't there such an old saying? If it is not my race, its heart will be different, not to mention that the Jurchens also assassinated the master in Beijing, and the Zhuangzi sent seven, and the remaining three stayed here to do some chores, like a place for study. In the living quarters, none of them were left, and they did some work such as cleaning the door, and they didn't dare to let them touch the food.

"Outside, Manager Wang said that the palace sent some gifts, saying that they were for the old lady, and Manager Wang said that there was a person named Zhang Shijie outside who asked to see the old lady, claiming to be the old lady's nephew. But it looks like that, it's so tight, I'm afraid that he is pretending to be a relative, so I didn't let him in, and now I'm waiting outside the door. The ten-year-old girl said in fluent Chinese.

"Ah, Shijie is here? Hurry. Let him come in, what kind of pretending is not pretending, there are still people like us who pretend to be relatives, look at what you say......" Shi Niang heard that Zhang Shijie was coming. Standing up and going out, he was still nagging, but then he remembered that now his son is not a big official, and he is no longer the Orion family he used to be, but now he can't care so much, but when he left, he promised his sister to bring a letter to this nephew, who Cheng thought of Chang'an's hectic, and forgot about it completely. I heard that my nephew came to the door, where can I still sit? Down and out? This nephew is a well-known talent in Gongyi County, and he also has a lot of official positions in Chang'an, and he is much stronger than his son, so why is he down?

Zhang Shijie's name Xihong has heard of it from Zhao Shi's mouth, this person seems to be a staff member in the mansion of Lord Shi Zhou, and the master went to look for him some time ago, this is not fake. Immediately got up and helped the stone lady. He turned around and said, "Go, sue the king of sù." Hurry up and invite people in, well, let's go to the flower hall in the backyard, the tea and fruits are ready, let the kitchen quickly prepare the wine and food, finer, and ask the son of the Fan family to come over as a companion ....... Old lady, you are slow, people can't run, don't be in a hurry. ”

Zhang Shijie stood on the steps outside the gate with his hands tied, his robe was hunting in the cold wind, but his body was quite straight, but he did look a little depressed now, the cotton robe was a little shabby, there was a patch on the shoulder, and the cloth shoes on his feet looked thinner in such weather.

Now his situation is unprecedentedly difficult, the servant Yu Shi Zhou Xian supported Qin Kejian, the commander of the East Palace guards, at the birthday banquet of today's saint, and embarrassed the old earth of today's saint, even the chief official of the imperial history platform, Lord Wang, also offended him to death, that is, Qin Kejian really won his cousin, and he couldn't go down to the ground, and then Qin Kejian was defeated and died, the prince was the most irresponsible figure, and Zhou Xian also became the target of the public, before the year passed, this will has come down, of course, This crime is certainly not some disobedience to the king or anything, after all, he is a minister, and it is right to be a direct admonition.

But it's better to deduct such a charge, and finally someone in the Yushitai has an excerpt, saying that he is corrupt, accepting bribes from others and tattooing a hundred taels of silver, time and place, who sent it, that is called a clear, the will is a prison awaiting trial, Dali Temple is even faster, three days later, it was sentenced to a show of killing and abandoning the city, the palace is allowed, Ming Chun execution, it is obvious that everyone up and down is almost offended, and no colleague came out to speak to him, let alone the prince's side.

As Zhou Xian's staff, these things naturally affected him, although no one wanted to get along with him, but Dali Temple still had to pass these passes, and finally he was clear, but almost overnight, his usual friends were gone, and his life was cut off, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

It's the end of the year, the family is desolate and desolate, go back to Gongyi County, he doesn't want to let his fellow villagers see it when he dies, stay in Beijing, who would like to ask him to be such a personal staff? It's too late to hide.

After thinking about it, when the firewood and rice at home were about to run out, he finally made a ruthless heart, pulled down this face to beg his cousin, and now his cousin is simply red and a little purple, Wu Zhuangyuan, the deputy commander of the Yulin Left Guard, is favored by the saint, and stays in the Taiye Pool at night, do you remember that there is such a cousin as him, it is better to see your aunt first......

Distraught, coupled with some embarrassment, standing in front of this magnificent gate, I didn't move the place for a long time, just looked at the plaque at the main entrance of this mansion, the plaque on the Zhao Mansion two big characters written Yixing Haofei, it is said that it is still the handwriting of His Royal Highness King Jing today, even this mansion is also sent by King Jing, such a favor, such a pomp, isn't it what I have been striving for? But now, the future is bleak, and it seems that there is no place to live, if it was before, don't come to ask for someone, even if his aunt spoke, he would never pull down this face......

Alas, he sighed in his heart, the teacher said well, the official road is unpredictable, and it is also the most difficult to learn people's hearts, and they can still be at ease without entering the officialdom, and once they enter the officialdom, they want to be a square gentleman but can't get it.

How much has he paid over the years? But what about the get? Thinking of what the cousin said to me at the beginning of the year, my parents are already old, and my body is not happy, and I am still thinking about myself. Leave for your hometown tomorrow, teach in the countryside, have a son and a half daughter, and inherit your own incense, which is worthy of your ancestors......

Since he has given up this delusion in his heart, he is also a decisive person, and he will turn around and leave immediately, but fate is like this, when you are discouraged, maybe there will be a turnaround.

The side door creaked, and a few people had already walked out, and when they walked a few steps first, they shouted from a distance, "Young Master Table, Master Table, stop ...... you"
