Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 167
In the Gualja Mansion, Mr. Dajili was sitting in the main hall making arrangements for the fiftieth birthday of his master Gualja Aguba in a few days.

"This year is my 50th birthday, and my wife is here. There are a lot of dignitaries coming and going, so you must do it in a dignified manner." Mr. Dajili told his eldest daughter-in-law, Baicha.

Baicha quickly stood up and replied: "Madam, please rest assured, my daughter-in-law will make decent arrangements."

Mr. Dajili looked at his niece who was sitting under the eldest daughter-in-law and said: "Grandma, there will be times when you are too busy in charge of the housework. Why don't you let the third grandma help you."

As soon as Da Jili finished speaking, Xiao Jili, who had a gloomy face, quickly became more energetic.As long as he finds out his sister-in-law's fault, he will still have the power of housekeeping.

"Madam, please rest assured. My daughter-in-law is afraid of making mistakes, so she specially asked her second younger brother and sister for help, so I won't trouble my third younger brother and sister." Baicha stood up and said respectfully.Fortunately, I was vigilant and had already invited my second younger brother and sister.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law should also learn from her sister-in-law about housekeeping. After all, if the family is divided in the future, each of them will have to be the master of the house." Second grandmother Sakda also expressed her support.

Da Jili never dreamed that his eldest daughter-in-law would join forces with his second daughter-in-law to fight against him.But she herself also understood that the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law had long been dissatisfied with her, unhappy that she favored her niece in everything.But the third child is both his niece and the daughter-in-law of his youngest son. How can he not be biased?

Xiao Jili was very unhappy when he saw that his stewardship had been taken away. Now he was not allowed to take care of even the smallest things. He was very unhappy.He quickly said: "Auntie."

Seeing the displeasure written on Xiao Jili's face, Da Jili could only bite the bullet and said: "Then when the day comes, let the third grandma come out to greet the female guests. Some of the guests are for the sake of the palace. My Majesty is here. After all, the Third Grandma is also my Majesty’s mother. It’s only when she goes out to greet you that you show your Majesty’s dignity.”

"Since the wife has opened her mouth, how could the daughter-in-law not agree? Then there will be three brothers and sisters to entertain the female guests that day." After the eldest grandmother Baicha finished speaking, she gave a look to the second grandmother Sakda opposite.

Sakda smiled understandingly, no one knew who she was, and what kind of mother she was.

Xiao Jili was very happy to get a job that made people shine, but when she saw the ridicule on the faces of her two sisters-in-law, whom she had always looked down on, she couldn't help but want to get angry.But she still pinched her handkerchief to suppress her anger.This is what her mother told her. Now there is only one word for this situation, endure.Only after she wins her husband's heart again, will she have the capital to be proud of.

Dajili saw her niece's actions and she was very satisfied.It seemed that she had listened to what he said to his sister-in-law.

"Madam, madam. The imperial edict has arrived." The housekeeper of Gualjia Mansion hurriedly walked from the outer courtyard into the main hall of the inner courtyard.

"Imperial edict, how can there be an imperial edict if it's so good? Go to the Yamen and inform the master." Dajili ordered in a hurry.

"My servant has already sent for the servants. The father-in-law who delivered the order said that he asked everyone in the family to go ahead and receive the order." The housekeeper reported back in a panic.

"Mother, the master's birthday has come. Perhaps the empress persuaded the master to reward him with something." Xiao Jili said proudly.Although Xiao Jili was very reluctant, in order to suppress the two sisters-in-law in front of him, Xiao Jili took out the banner of Wanxian.

"Yes, yes, it is a happy event for the queen to be favored like this. Go to the school quickly and call the young masters back. And go to the in-laws' house to bring Lang Yue back. Such a good thing cannot drag her down." Daji Lishi quickly ordered.

"Yes, I will take care of it now." The butler quickly left and went to deal with the matters ordered by his master.But maybe something held me back, and I waited until all the elders in the family came back.Wanxian's half-sister didn't come back either.

"Are all these people here? After the Za family has announced their decree, they have to go back to the palace to resume their duties." Zhao Sanxi said angrily while sitting on the head seat.Zhao Sanxi was specially sent by Liang Jiugong to deliver the message.Liang Jiugong also explained carefully to Zhao Sanxi that both Long Live Lord and Lady Shu didn't like Guarjia's people very much, so there was no need to be polite, just give them authority.

"I'm really sorry that my father-in-law has come to announce the decree. I just want to treat my father-in-law to tea." Gualja Abagu politely took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Sanxi.

Zhao Sanxi glanced sideways and said politely: "No, the Za family is here for business, so it's better to keep public and private affairs separate. Okay, let's all kneel down properly. The Za family is going to announce the decree."

"Here, then it's my father-in-law." Gualja Abagu always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't say anything.

Gualja Abagu directed his son and grandson to kneel on the ground together.Gualjia Abagu, who was kneeling on the ground, thought in his mind: Could it be that he did something in the yamen, and the incident happened.No, no, if the incident happened, why would people in the DPRK spread the news?

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed. Guarjia Abagumu, the commander of the third-grade guard army, was disrespectful. He formed cliques for personal gain and took bribes. He was demoted to the rank of captain of the sixth-grade guard army. All the remaining heirs who had official positions were dismissed. For the common people. I appreciate this." After Zhao Sanxi finished reciting the decree, he snorted coldly to Gualja Abagu, who was already lying limply on the ground: "Guardja Guards Colonel, please accept the decree."

"No, no, it won't happen. I was wronged, wronged. Father-in-law, father-in-law, please take me to the palace, and I will explain to you face to face." Gualja Abagu hugged him anxiously. He said while touching Zhao Sanxi's thigh.It was as if Zhao Sanxi was his only life-saving straw. "How dare you, Long Live Lord, do you want a low-level official like you to see him whenever he wants? Let go, the Za family has to return to the palace to resume his duties." Zhao Sanxi waved his hand to the surrounding guards to hold Gualja Aba. antiquity.

The guards who followed Zhao Sanxi quickly grabbed Gualja Abagu and prevented him from coming forward.

As for the remaining heirs of Guarja, they were sitting on the ground seeing that their future was gone.

The female relatives who were kneeling in the inner hall to listen to the order knelt on the ground and cried.

Mr. Da Jili shook his body, unable to believe that he had gone from being a third-grade Madam Gaoming to a sixth-grade Anren.

"It can't be like this, it absolutely can't be like this." Gualja Abagu said to himself.He spent his entire life climbing up to the third-rank position, but now he was knocked back to his original form and became a sixth-rank minor official.How can a man who is already fifty compare to those strong and ambitious young men?And his sons were demoted to commoners one by one.

"My father-in-law, there must be someone who has been really wronged. For the sake of the concubines in the palace, please help us redress our grievances before the emperor." Guarjia Abagu's eldest son Guarjia Zhuohang has always said He was taught by his father himself, so he is still relatively calm at the moment.

"Yes, father-in-law. For the sake of your concubine, please help me redress my grievances in front of the long live Lord. If my concubine knew about it, she would be extremely grateful to my father-in-law." Gualja Abagu passed by his eldest son. reminder, he said quickly.

Guarjia Zhuohang said again: "My father-in-law, please do me a favor. After entering the palace, talk to Empress Shubin and ask her to help redress the grievances of the mother's family." Guarjia Zhuohang said. Hand over a stack of banknotes.

"How dare you, Empress Shu, you can talk about it at will? You should give up this idea as soon as possible. Empress Shu is living a good life in the palace, and this little thing cannot disturb the empress' purity." Zhao Sanxi swept away the banknotes. On the ground, he said angrily.

"Okay, let's go back to the palace." Zhao Sanxi said and led the guards out of the house and back to the palace to resume their duties.

"Pfft." Gualja Abagu vomited a mouthful of blood in excitement.

"Ama, Ama." Gualja Abagu's sons quickly stepped forward to support Gualja Abagu.

"Mafa, Mafa." Gualja Abagu's grandsons also shouted.

The main hall instantly became a mess.

Dajili, who was in the inner hall, couldn't stand it anymore when he heard the commotion outside.At this moment, a slave outside ran into the main hall and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, it's bad."

"What happened again?" Gualja Zhuohang asked, stroking Gualja Abagu's chest.

"Master Qi, Master, Second Master, Third Master, something serious has happened. My uncle's house has been ransacked. I heard from the guards outside. My uncle has been sentenced to exile in Ning Guta, and the entire family's homes have been ransacked, and they have been demoted to civilians. , the third generation is not allowed to take the imperial examination." The servant was quite smart and explained the matter clearly.

"Ama, E Niang." Xiao Jili shouted in the inner hall.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Wanxian's scumbag father Gualja Zoya asked.

"Third Master, the fifth lady is still in my uncle's house. I went to pick up the fifth lady, but the master inside said that no one can be let out until the house is ransacked." The servant said urgently.

"My Langyue." Xiao Jili cried.

"What's going on?" Gualja Zoya said anxiously.
