Brocade clothing

Chapter 79
Xiao Er hesitated for a while: "Is this not good?"

Chu Qing hadn't spoken yet, and came to say hello with a witty smile: "Little brother, come and talk to our son, have a cup of tea, our son will not tell your shopkeeper."

Xiao Er thought about it, hesitated for a while, and still came over.

Qiao Yu personally poured him a cup of tea, and Xiao Er was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the tea. This young man is very lucky, and this attendant is really good-looking.But Xiao Er didn't have any other thoughts, she just thought it looked good, so she took a second look.

Chu Qing pushed the dim sum forward: "Second brother, speaking of it, I saw Zhao's mansion opposite your teahouse, which looked very impressive. I came here on business two months ago, and I haven't seen it yet. See, who is this Zhao Mansion? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Xiao Er poked his head over and glanced at the Zhao residence, and curled his lips: "My lord, you don't know, this Zhao family just moved here more than two months ago. Of course, you haven't seen me, my lord."

Chu Qing observed his subtle disgust expression, and squinted her eyes: "This Zhao Jiafeng is not well-reviewed? Why are you like this, little brother? I see, this family is very low-key, and they didn't say a word when they went out or anything. .”

"Young master, don't look at them now. The Zhao family was really beautiful in the capital back then. They thought they could ascend to the sky in one step after being ingratiated by the uncle of the country, but they fell down in the end! It was because of such a reason, what a scum! "The more Xiaoer said, the more angry he became, obviously he knew something that Chu Qing didn't know.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up slightly, and he said calmly: "Oh? Brother, tell me more, this Zhao family still has such a section, I'm from out of town, and I only come here a few times occasionally, I thought this Zhao family was so Low-key, the character must be good."

Xiaoer probably also felt that the matter could not be over now, making people think that the Zhao family is a good person, and immediately said: "Young master, don't be deceived by others, there is no good thing in this Zhao family! Especially this Master Zhao, he is even more of a good person." Scum!" After he finished speaking, he probably felt that he had spoken too much, afraid of being retaliated, covered his mouth, poured the tea in his mouth, stood up and planned to go downstairs, but was stopped by a witty phrase: "You Little Second Brother is really, halfway through talking, our young master just got excited, isn't you making people scratch their heads."

Xiao Er suddenly became dizzy, and said: "Isn't this Xiao... Aren't you afraid of talking too much?"

"Don't worry, we are just chatting, we will never say a word outside." Xiao Er was pulled back by the witty words.

Xiao Er was unsure: "You really don't want to talk about it?"

The witty words cast a glance at him: "Why are you so distrustful, little brother?" The angry and resentful look made Xiao Er tremble all over, his head felt hot, and he wiped his forehead, thinking that maybe he was too cautious, This young man doesn't look like a bad guy.He probably didn't want people to forget the ugly things that the Zhao family did, so he leaned over and said in a low voice, "My lord, don't say these things out. You don't know, this Zhao family really doesn't have a good person, this Mr. Zhao , I have been away from the capital for several months, and suddenly I came back again, saying that the child died, so I decided to leave that place sadly, oh, I remembered, that is called Qingshui Town, right? No wonder! Then The child doesn't belong to Master Zhao at all!"

"Huh?" Chu Qing raised his eyes, "Isn't Master Zhao's child?"

Then Aunt Mei had taken the child by caesarean section herself. Aunt Mei's child was not Mr. Zhao's, how could he bear it?

Unless Mr. Zhao knows it himself?

"No, I told you secretly, that child...maybe it belongs to Uncle Guo!" Xiao Er had an expression of "you don't know that, do you?"

Chu Qing asked in surprise, "Uncle Guo's?"

"That's right, it belongs to Uncle Liu Guo. My son, don't look at the Zhao family who is very low-key now and looks clean, but the secrets in this high-door mansion are shameful to speak out. If it wasn't for Mr. What happened is too hurtful and unreasonable, and I am afraid that it will not be dealt with! Think about it, Mr. Zhao escaped such a U-turn incident back then, and just returned home. How could it be so easy? What happened? It wasn't Liu Guojiu who intervened to save his name!"

Chu Qing knew that she was really right this time. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Mr. Zhao before, but she didn't expect to find out something after this inquiry: "The decapitation back then? What happened?"

"Speaking of it, I'm angry, this Zhao Kuiwu is a murderer, and he did those things that are outrageous! Now this Mr. Zhao was the Minister of the Ministry of War before, do you know?"

Chu Qing nodded: "I know." Brother Zhong mentioned it when he mentioned it before, but he never mentioned the so-called decapitation. He probably thought that it was a matter of the court, and it was over, so it was too inconvenient Word.

"When he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he embezzled the army's food and grass privately, which later delayed the military situation. As a result, many soldiers died in the battle last year. The soldiers threw their heads and blood for us in the border defense. Such a thing that destroys the conscience! It is simply the anger of man and god! Absolutely unforgivable! Don’t you believe me, my son, I have a cousin who was in the barracks. I heard him say that he narrowly escaped death in that battle. It is said that the battle last year was a sure win, but because the food and grass did not continue, many soldiers died of starvation, and then the enemy took advantage of the loopholes, and many soldiers died, and the blood flowed like a river!" Xiao Eryue said The more angry he was, he almost jumped up, and finally he calmed down when he saw Chu Qing, and hurriedly took another sip of water in embarrassment.

Chu Qing was full of surprise, and she suppressed it very well, and said softly: "Pursuing the army's food and grass privately has delayed the military situation. This is a matter of confiscating the family and destroying the family. Is Liu Guoshu so powerful? How can he protect the army like this? This is Mr. Zhao?"

Xiaoer's voice was lowered: "So the young master doesn't know, right? Mr. Zhao does this in private," he showed a very weird expression, "He is very good at using some beautiful women to win over the powerful. I heard that Mr. Zhao sent a woman to Uncle Liu before his accident. Later, when he left, I heard that he took that woman away. She was...pregnant. Think about it, my lord. Master Zhao's seed?"

Chu Qing's expression became very subtle, and she hummed: "Indeed, it is very likely not, but if it is Uncle Liu's child, why was it brought back to the countryside by Master Zhao? What's hidden in this?"

Xiao Er shook his head: "I don't know about that. I heard that last year, in order to save his life, Mr. Zhao went to the Liu Mansion many times in private."

"Liu's House..." Chu Qing frowned. I wonder if it's because of her natural inclination to think too much. She always felt that the Liu family, the Liu family in Qingshui Town, and the Zhao family...

"Young master?" Seeing that Chu Qing was in a daze, Xiao Er called out.

"Huh?" Chu Qing came back to his senses, and said: "Didn't you hear that the emperor was a good emperor who was diligent and caring for the people? How could the emperor tolerate such a big matter of delaying the military situation? How could he let Master Zhao go so easily? "

Xiao Er let out a long sigh: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, young master, think about it, that Uncle Liu is the Empress Dowager's real brother, that is the Emperor's real uncle, besides, the court affairs, the Empress Dowager..." He gestured For a moment, the expression is very subtle.When the former emperor passed away, the little emperor was young, and the queen mother has been in charge of the government for many years, that is, in the past few years, because the old ministers in the court strongly demanded, the queen mother gave some power to the emperor. ...

"Queen?" Chu lightly frowned.

"My lord, someone called me downstairs, I'm going to greet the guests first." Xiao Er probably felt that he had talked too much, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left soon.

Chu Qing's eyes fell on the back of the little girl, and she narrowed her eyes and said, "Wonderful words, why do you think this Master Zhao gave someone to Uncle Liu, but brought him back after he became pregnant, so Aunt Mei is pregnant?" Yes, it is Uncle Liu Guo’s seed.”

A witty remark: "My lord, I don't know. Those people in Gaomen's mansion are very particular about family status. For those... who are not even a concubine, they feel that their status is too low. They won't stay. Probably, Uncle Liu's family doesn't care about the child at all, and even wants to get rid of it. They think the identity of the woman sent over is too..." Qiao Yu didn't know what to think of, and lowered her eyes.As an oiran of Yancheng, others support her, but in private, people like them can't even be a concubine. Even if they can be on the spot because of the master's favor, the children born in the future will be stabbed in the back .That's why, Aunt Feng and the others must get themselves out of that place of right and wrong, so that they can start again.

Chu Qing's eyes swept across Zhao's house, and his pupils sank. The Zhao family, the Liu family, and the royal family seemed to be linked together.

It seems that when Aunt Mei was murdered, it was either Mrs. Zhao or someone from the Liu family who did it.

If Mrs. Zhao didn't know that the child belonged to Uncle Liu Guo, she would definitely think it belonged to Master Zhao, how could she bear it?He will definitely get rid of him; if the Liu family really thinks that this child is lowly, they will probably find a way to get rid of him.

There is just one thing that Chu Qing doesn't understand. Since Zhao Kuiwu committed such a big case back then, it was too late for him to hide. Even with Uncle Liu Guo's favor back then, he would not have the guts to return to the capital again, unless there was her in the middle. know things.What's more, judging by Master Zhao's expression when Aunt Mei's child was born, it didn't look like he would cause trouble to the child. She delivered the child herself, so she knew the child was healthy, but why did she die suddenly?
All these mysteries gave Chu Qing a premonition that as long as these lines were clarified, the answer would be obvious.

Chu Qing stood up, and Qiao Yu hurriedly followed. When they walked downstairs, Xiaoer even sent them out, but when they stepped out of the threshold, they heard a nearby table of guests who had heard of books and couldn't help but whispered: "Uncle Liu Guo has been domineering all these years, he deserves to have no sons or grandsons!" The man's voice was very low, but Chu Qing could hear it, especially the three "Uncle Liu" who are now in her presence. Very sensitive words in the ear.
