Poor children

Chapter 247 Marquis Ning Guo stood up for his daughter

一
"Master, Ning Guohou wants to see you." Early the next morning, Xiao Dunzi saw that his disciple came early to report that Ning Guohou had arrived in a hurry.
"Marquis Ning Guo?" Pao'er also just finished dressing up. "Has the prince gone to court?"

"Go back to the master, the prince went out before dawn." Xiaodunzi returned
"Then tell Marquis Ning Guo that the prince has gone to court and ask him to come back later," said the poor man.

"Ning Guohou is here to find his master," Xiao Dunzi said again.

"Looking for me?" Paoer took the tea from Da Qiuhuai and sat down on a chair in the main hall. "What happened in the palace recently?"

"I heard that Empress Xia was beaten in the palace." Xiao Dunzi returned
"is it serious?"

"I heard that the Queen of Changle Palace slapped Empress Xia," Xiao Dunzi said.
The pauper put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his head to look at Xiao Dunzi, "I often hear that the eldest daughter of Marquis Ning Guo is favored, but after all, she is a lady, and she won't come to her just because of a slap."

"Master, Marquis Ning Guo is still waiting outside." Xiao Dunzi was a little embarrassed, fearing that his master would ask him to send him back. Looking at Marquis Ning Guo like that, if he really asked him to go back, he would be angry.
"Go and invite in first," the poor man ordered.
After hearing this, Xiaodunzi hurriedly went out and invited the people in

When Ning Guohou entered the main hall, he was first greeted by greetings, and then stood there without saying a word. His face was naturally ugly.
When the poor man saw that he was silent, he had to ask himself, "Why are you here so far away? How come an important minister of the country who usually does not go to court with your majesty's approval suddenly came to stand here? Hurry up and give it to Mr. Xia Bring a chair," Pao'er said jokingly.
"If it's nothing serious, I will naturally not come to bother Her Majesty the Queen. But yesterday's incident was really unbearable." Ning Guohou sat down on the chair brought by his servants and said with a long face.

"What kind of serious matter is it? Just say it. If it is something that I cannot do, Your Majesty can also do it." The poor man smiled and said, "First, let me make a cup of tea to make the boss angry."

"My little daughter was beaten in Changle Palace yesterday. It was nothing. I heard it was because she was afraid that the Siamese cat her grandfather gave her would hurt His Highness. But His Highness insisted on hugging her and was scratched by the cat. The queen blames my little daughter for not knowing what to do." Ning Guohou said this and sighed.

"This is not a big deal. Zhihui has a royal status and has the support of many ministers in the court. Why was she able to marry His Majesty in the first place? With this situation of two queens, you should know best. Don't say it's me, Your Majesty has to give her a few points. Now you come to me to be the master, aren't you embarrassing me?" Paoer also looked embarrassed at this time.
"Is it possible that I don't know this truth? I told my daughter to be patient, but in the early hours of the morning, people in her palace discovered that the queen had killed the little girl's beloved cat and threw it into her palace in a bloody state. In the middle, it would be fine if it was just a slap, but this dead cat really shouldn't be. She is warning the little girl. The old minister is afraid of the inner courtyard of the palace. The little girl is spoiled by nature, and he is not afraid that she will be harmed. "I know that" the color on Ning Guohou's face has never looked good from beginning to end, and his worry is not unreasonable.
Pao'er nodded, she also believed that Zhihui could do such a thing

"Sir, it would be fine if it were anyone else, but Zhihui still has a relationship with the previous dynasty, and it is difficult for me to be the master of Concubine Xia," Pao'er said.

"Aren't they just a few trash from the previous dynasty? I told Your Majesty long ago not to be so merciful and entrust them with heavy responsibilities. If they were all killed then, why bother now?" Ning Guohou said

"What your Majesty wants is for all the people to return to their hearts. How can you use cruel methods to make people surrender? How can such a country be secure?" Pao'er felt that Ning Guohou's words were a bit too much.

"If she has anyone else she can rely on, I'm afraid she only has Luo Shangshu left. He has the support of Da Yueshi, and the others are all insignificant people. The old minister can handle them," Ning Guohou calculated.
"Luo Shangshu?" The poor man saw that Ning Guohou had calmed down and said, "I will go visit him tomorrow. It is not a difficult matter to solve. After Luo Shangshu's incident, I will go back to the palace. If you can trust me, Concubine Xia I will definitely help her with this." Ning Guohou heard this and stood up quickly to thank him. "If this is the case, let the other unimportant people be dealt with by the old minister. Her Royal Highness the Queen does not need to worry."

After sending Ning Guohou away, Pao'er ordered Qiu Tao to bring a gift to her eldest aunt. After all, she didn't know the ins and outs of things in the palace. Even if she was the one who made the decision, she had to figure out the right and wrong of the matter first. That's it
two

Luo Shangshu never imagined that one day the Queen would come to the door of his house in person, and she was currently sitting in her main hall.
Although she is nearly [-] years old, she is still as beautiful as people say, and she has become more mature with age.
She just sat there, drinking tea, not saying a word. She was not angry and intimidating, but made people dare not make mistakes.
The whole family just stood below to accompany her. They didn’t know why she came, but they felt that it was not a good thing, because Luo Shangshu had a close relationship with the previous emperor.
Mrs. Shangshu stood a little flustered and kept glaring at Luo Shangshu. She had told him long ago not to do things for the previous dynasty, as there would be no good fruit to eat, but he refused to listen, and even wanted to earn some glory for his grandfather's family. Now Fortunately, the land of the Chinese dynasty was not cut off. The queen of the Chinese dynasty came to harm your head first.

Luo Shangshu could see his wife glaring at him, but there was nothing he could do about it. If he asked in this situation, he might not know what kind of temper the queen had. If he said the wrong sentence or two, wouldn't it be offensive? Worse
"I'm afraid only Luo Shangshu can eat this pomegranate. The northwest is rich in fruits, but you can't find anything like this." The poor boy broke open a red-seeded pomegranate, put the pulp in his mouth and chewed it.
"If Her Majesty the Queen likes it, take some back with you," Luo Shangshu said.
"Yeah" Pao'er just hummed and fell into silence again, only focusing on eating pomegranates.

After a while, she raised her head and hit a little girl about five or six years old among the people standing in the hall. The little girl was staring at her eating pomegranates with wide eyes.
"Come here" Paoer waved to her

The little girl was not afraid of people. She walked towards the poor man openly and did not forget to give her a gift when she got close.

"Well, you know how to be courteous and have a good manner, good boy, what's your name?" The poor boy took her hand and held her in his arms

"The little girl's name is Huan Yuzhu" Luo Yuzhu returns
The pauper naturally knows her name, and also knows that she is Luo Shangshu's eldest granddaughter. This little girl is naturally smart and is very favored by Luo Shangshu.
"Do you want to eat this?" Paoer peeled some pomegranates and gave them to her.
Luo Yuzhu took it and put it in his mouth and started eating it.

"Are you literate?" the poor boy asked

Luo Yuzhu nodded

"What are your names? Can you write them down for me to see?" Pao'er moved the tea cup in front of her.

She dipped her little hands in some tea and wrote her name on the table.

"Oh, it turns out it's these two characters," the poor man said again, "You are such a little person, but you can write so well. It shows that your grandfather has taken great care of you."
