The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 290 The old man who sells his children

As the death knell was sounded in the imperial palace, people in the capital were waiting for the bell, oh, the Queen Mother is dead.

Mrs. Miao heard the mourning call on the street and thinking about the virtues of Xie Jiuhuan and Xie Shiquan, Mrs. Miao hurried home in three steps at a time.

At the entrance of the alley, a neighbor saw Mrs. Miao. The aunt lowered her voice and said, "Fortunately, your Xiao Jiuer married the person yesterday."

After the death of the Queen Mother, people had to stop even singing and listening to music, let alone such a happy event as marrying a daughter.

Miao smiled bitterly and said, "Who would have thought of this? Alas!"

"Go home quickly," Auntie gave Miao a look that I understood, and said, "You have to take off those happy words in your family."

"Hey, yes, I just rushed back to do this," Miao responded to her aunt's words and hurried home.

In Xie's house, Xie Shiquan was snoring on the bed, Xie Jiuhuan was sleeping in his room, and Lin Deyi was sleeping on the couch in Xie's father's study...

Mrs. Miao hurried home in a hurry and found that everyone at home, including the young man Wen Xiao and Wen Jia, were sleeping.

Mrs. Miao had to sigh in her heart, what a life it was for these children!
Mrs. Miao was busy working inside and outside by herself. When Father Xie came back from outside, Mrs. Miao had already hung a white cloth on the door.

"The master is back," Mrs. Miao stood at the gate and greeted Father Xie.

Father Xie looked in the door and whispered, "Where are they?"

Miao shook her head, turned around and walked into the door.

Father Xie hurriedly followed Miao.

Miao: "Grandma Hu is very upset. With the Empress Dowager gone, her Yan Ya'er's marriage will have to be postponed."

Dad Xie: "Oh, let's get married. It doesn't matter if it's a day early or a day late."

Mrs. Miao stood in the yard and turned to look at Dad Xie.

Father Xie: "I know, madam, that Her Royal Highness the Princess deliberately brought forward Jiu Huan's wedding. She must have known that the Queen Mother was in trouble."

Miao sighed.

Dad Xie asked in a low voice: "Where are Xiao Jiu'er and uncle?"

Miao: "I'm sleeping."

Dad Xie said hurriedly: "Are you sleeping together?"

Miao glared at Father Xie.

Father Xie immediately changed his words and said: "Slip of the tongue."

"If we want to sleep together, we should go back to the Duke of Qin's mansion and sleep together again," Miao said in a low voice, "How can anyone consummate their marriage at her mother's house? This is not a joke? Master, you can't say such stupid things. Ninth Brother is sleeping in your study. "

Dad Xie: "Oh oh oh, that's good."

He just asked, it's hard to say that it's purely love between men and women. Confucius said that food and sex are the same.

Mrs. Miao took a look at the door and found that the door was not bolted. She hurriedly ran to lock the door.

Dad Xie: "No one will come now."

When the Queen Mother died, every family had to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. Now everyone is busy making arrangements at home, who has time to rush to the door?
Mrs. Miao said, "It's better to be careful."

What if the Wei family comes and kills them?

Dad Xie looked at the white yard and said, "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Mrs. Miao walked up to Father Xie. Their family was small and it didn't take much trouble to arrange it. Ms. Miao now only cared about the news from the other side of the Wei family. "Is there any news from the Wei family?" Mrs. Miao asked in a low voice, "I saw soldiers on the street stopping passers-by to question them. It looked very scary."

Dad Xie: "No news."

Miao: "There are so many soldiers on the street?"

There were no children around at this time. Father Xie took Miao's hand and entered the main room. The couple sat down, and Father Xie whispered: "The soldiers I saw are all Xie Changjin's soldiers."

Mrs. Miao didn't understand and said, "What's the problem?"

Father Xie: "This is General Xie's second son, the one who saved Xiao Jiu'er and Jiu Guye last night."

Miao finally understood and said, "Then let him investigate the person, isn't that to avoid suspicion?"

Dad Xie: "So it's just a show."

Mrs. Miao: "Oh."

Father Xie: "People still have to be arrested, but this is not important to the court."

Mrs. Miao: "Isn't it important? My uncle set three fires in Wei Mansion."

To say that Wei Mansion was also a bit clever, Lin Deyi set off three fires, but surprisingly not a single person in Wei Mansion was burned to death.They all say that fire and water are merciless, but when it comes to the Wei Mansion, this doesn't work.

Father Xie shook his head. Did he talk to Mr. Miao about court matters?Father Xie said: "Actually, the death of the Queen Mother is nothing to the princes of the court."

Mrs. Miao was shocked. The death of the Queen Mother was nothing? "Yes, is it because she is the daughter of the Wei family?" Mrs. Miao asked.

Father Xie: "What does it matter whether she is the daughter of the Wei family? Who would really take her seriously when she is a queen mother who has no power for a long time?"

Mrs. Miao's hair stood on end when she heard this, she was the Queen Mother!
Father Xie: "Now the princes in the court are concerned about when Chief Minister Wei will return to his hometown to observe his filial piety. Madam, the position of Grand Prime Minister will be vacant."

How could Mrs. Miao understand such a thing?She just said whatever she thought of, and said: "Then Mr. Lin will be the chief minister in the future?"

Dad Xie smiled, how could it be so easy?

When Xie Jiuhuan and Lin Deyi got up and heard the news that the Queen Mother was dead, neither of them had any big reaction. Xie Jiuhuan at least returned the favor, while Lin Deyi remained silent.

Miao took Xie Shiquan and gave medicine to the four little beggars. When they came back to the main room, Miao brought good news. The four children started talking.

"These four don't know where they came from. They just remember that they were begging for food in the city with a man named Lao Huo Ya." Mrs. Miao said, "Is the Wei Mansion in the hands of this Lao Huo Ya?" The person who bought it from the Internet? This person lacks great virtue!"

Father Xie said, "Let the second uncle look for this person later."

Xie Jiuhuan told Lin Deyi: "The second brother-in-law is the head catcher, he is in charge of this matter."

Lin Deyi said: "If there are no people who want to apply for official positions, how will the second brother-in-law take care of this matter? Do you want those four children to apply for official positions for themselves?"

Lin Deyi was so serious that all three of Lao Xie's family were speechless for a while.They didn't think about reporting to the official. They asked the second brother-in-law to find this old bastard who sold his children to die and beat him up. They couldn't make this old bastard's life easy anyway, so that's what they wanted.

"Well, let's talk about it later," Xie said perfunctorily to his ninth uncle.

Xie Jiuhuan also changed the topic and asked Miao, "Er Niang, have they said their names?"

Miao: "What good names can a beggar child have? Two boys, one is called Goudan and the other is Starving Ghost. The two girls are better, one is called Hongya and the other is called Big Eyes."

Xie Jiuhuan thought for a moment and realized that the little girl who had a high fever last night had big eyes.

Miao: "The two little girls were raised as boys before, and they don't even know they are girls."

"Then they were sold and had to die with a dead old woman," Xie Jiuhuan said listlessly.

The three people of Lao Xie's family looked at each other. There was nothing they could do against the Wei family, but this old Huya still had to let his second uncle (second brother-in-law) find him!
