boudoir

Chapter 281 Relatives are here
The daily routine is actually pretty much the same, three meals a day, and then meeting guests with the soul, but things like dealing with the Ruan family don't happen every day, so this day has passed peacefully.It's just that Qi Yunjing came here on horseback for some reason, although he could see that he was unwilling, but because he knew his relationship with Yuhua, as long as he came, it was considered a courtesy.

Qi Yunhao came later, and when he arrived, he called Liuli to the backyard to talk.

"I just went to the Ministry of Officials. Ma Weiqing's promotion to Zhan Shifu You Zhongyun's transfer order will be issued in a few days. You can tell him."

Liuli didn't expect that there would be news so soon. Thinking about it, it turned out to be Zhan Shi's mansion. Zhan Shi's mansion is a place to assist the prince. Now that the situation is so delicate, Qi Yunhao put him there, is there something else? intention?
Qi Yunhao also seemed to see her thoughts, did not explain anything, only said: "I don't know who to assist in the future."

It was only when Liuli heard this that she suddenly realized.It is true that Zhan Shifu is good at assisting the prince, but who knows if the prince will be in charge until the end?

It was Liuli who told Min Hua the news. Although she didn't expect her to be grateful, she also hoped that she would be happy. However, Min Hua looked calm, and just bowed to her, thanked her, and said nothing else.It seems that Ma Weiqing's future is not important to her at all.But since it's not important, why did she ask the official for him?

Liuli really couldn't figure it out.

From the fourth day onwards, the number of condolence guests gradually increased, because some of them learned the news of Su's imperial order later, and some were of lower official rank. According to the rules, close relatives went to mourn for the first few days, so The banquets prepared in the mansion are also of high standard, and if those who are far away or of low rank come here at this time, they will most likely be pointed at behind their backs.

Because she doesn't have to accompany the guests, Liuli has relaxed since today.In the afternoon, I stayed with Ling Ling in the mourning hall for a while, and it happened that Min Hua came over and was about to get up to sit for a while, when suddenly there was a burst of wailing outside the gate, and it was so loud that it came to the mourning hall!And it was accompanied by vague crying, because there were so many people inside and outside, it was hard to hear what was said for a while.

Liuli lost her drowsiness after crying. She stood at the entrance of the mourning hall and looked around. A group of people surrounded the gate. Qian Changsheng and a few people from the clan stood there, not daring to reach out to stop her. The appearance of the servants being sloppy.But everyone knows that there is a funeral going on in He Mansion right now, who has the guts to make trouble at the gate?
So he walked out of the stairs and walked towards the gate.

Someone had already called Grandma Jiugu to come.Qian Changsheng and the others hurriedly backed away, bowed their heads and said, "Auntie is here just in time, Aunt Guo is here!" The woman cried and rushed to the bottom of the stone steps, slapped the ground and cried bitterly: "Oh my God! Mr. He has no conscience, stepped on my sister to climb up, and now he has demoted her to the next wife! How do you favor concubines?" Killing his wife, the wife of the great general is bullying others, there is no law in the world! God, why don’t you open your eyes and see!”

People walking on the street all looked over here, and gradually became a crowd of onlookers.And a group of guests who originally came to the house to express their condolences also rushed out after hearing the news.Qian Changsheng looked at the woman's situation, and seeing Liuli's face getting darker and darker, he said in a panic, "Grandma—"

Liuli raised her hand to stop him from talking.

If she can't see the origin of Mrs. Guo, her eyes will be in vain.Who else could be the "sister" in her mouth besides Mrs. Yu?No matter what relative she is of the Yu family, if she doesn't come early or late, and doesn't enter the gate, she chooses this time to cry in this place, so naturally she came prepared!

But at this time, there was a lot of trouble, and her reputation was ruined by her, so it was useless to persuade her.

Liuli looked at the woman carefully, and she looked a bit like Mrs. Yu when she cried, so she asked Qian Changsheng: "Who is this Mrs. Guo's relative?"

Qian Changsheng looked around, came up and said in a low voice: "It's Mrs. Yu's concubine sister, she was married to Guo Shao, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Guo Shao died a few years ago, and this concubine Guo has been a widow all this time. She has no contact with our family all these years, and Madam Yu didn't pay much attention to her at that time, I don't know why she suddenly appeared now."

He glanced at Aunt Guo who was still lying on the ground crying, sweat was profuse on her forehead in the winter.As the chief manager of the mansion, what happened to him during the funeral at the mansion, he couldn't get away with it no matter what.But he had nothing to do with her, she was also a serious relative in the house after all.

Hearing what he said, Liuli felt like a bright mirror in her heart.Since she hadn't been in contact for a long time and Mrs. Yu himself ignored her, if she dared to come to her door to shout for her now, then there would naturally be someone backing her up.Liuli thought about He Tingfang, who was beaten the day before yesterday, and Ruan Shi, who was very angry with her. Could it be that they invited Aunt Guo secretly?Whether it is or not, it is always inseparable from them.

So he swept across the crowd, and said to a steward next to Qian Changsheng, "Since he is a relative of Mrs. Yu, go and invite the third young master and third grandma over."

The steward immediately turned around.Aunt Guo heard Liuli's order, looked up at her, and burst into tears again.

Liuli didn't pay any attention to it, she just stood and watched her cry, anyway, it wasn't her face that was lost.After a while, the steward led He Tingfang and Ruan Shi over.Liu Li said to them: "This Aunt Guo said that your concubine is your relative, you can deal with it."

He Tingfang looked at Aunt Guo who was beating her on the ground, her face turned red and white, and she was about to step forward to scold her when she raised her foot. Suddenly, Ruan walked over him and pulled Aunt Guo: "Why don't you go in when the aunt is here? It's been a while. Come on, my mother is thinking about you!" She bent down and went to help.Aunt Guo sat down on the ground, and she became more and more obedient: "My poor sister!"

Ruan lowered her head with her eyes closed, sighed and retreated to He Tingfang's side, looking at Liuli and expressing her helplessness.

Liuli sneered, and simply sat down on a chair brought by Yuegui behind her.When Ruan Shi just walked past He Tingfang, she tugged on his sleeve secretly. She thought that he was unaware, but she didn't expect that Liuli, who had been stared at them, could see all of them?From this point of view, He Tingfang's anger can prove that Aunt Guo was not invited by him, and the Ruan family is absolutely inseparable!But on her own, how could she be able to hire the widow of Yuanwailang?
The current situation is obviously aimed at Liuli.But to successfully push Liuli into an embarrassing situation at this time, apart from members of the Yu family, there is really no other suitable person!Those in the Yu Mansion have already expressed their views, and their daughter's misbehavior was dismissed, and she didn't have the face to make trouble.The married daughters-in-law all have status and will not get involved in these matters.So only concubine girls with low status like Aunt Guo can take advantage of them.

After all, Aunt Guo is also an official family member, and she has children under her knees. Even if she doesn't think about her own reputation, she has to think about her children. After such a disturbance, will her family still have to marry in the future?If she didn't have a strong bargaining chip, it would be impossible for her to make such a scene without regard to face.

She looked at Aunt Guo for a while, and finally her eyes fell on her clean soles.Then Qian Changsheng asked, "Where is my aunt's car?"

Qian Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and replied: "My aunt never drove here."

Without a car, would the soles of the shoes be so clean?What's more, how can there be a wife who doesn't take a car when she goes out!Although Guo Shao is dead, he still doesn't even have a carriage left behind, right?

So he called Liu Wei to come forward, and said in a low voice, "Go and see what vehicles, horses and people are staying near the He residence."

As soon as Liu Wei left, Liuli pointed to Haitang and said, "Since my aunt refuses to go in, it's quite tiring to sit and cry like this. Go and move a stool. Cry hard."

The people around were waiting for her to persuade the concubine to go back, but they didn't expect that she not only refused to persuade her, but asked someone to move a stool for her to sit and cry. For a moment, they didn't know what she was going to do, and began to talk about it in private. Discuss.

Aunt Guo was also dumbfounded, seeing Liuli sitting in front of her calmly, while she was getting older and looked like this, after all she had to disregard her face, stopped crying and got up from the ground, staring at Liuli with hatred, going to Haitang sat on the stool brought by her.

But Haitang moved only Zhang Xiaoyu. Although Aunt Guo's status was not high, she had never sat in front of anyone before. She felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, but if she didn't sit, she was really tired from crying, and It seems really rude, so I still have to sit.

Liuli watched her sit down, and said, "Since my aunt stopped crying, let's talk about it. Don't you want God to give you justice? You don't need God. Today, in front of all the guests in the house, there are There are so many people in the neighborhood outside, let me explain this to you."

As he spoke, he glanced at He Jianghong and his wife, He Tingfang and Ruan Shi who had come over, got up and walked to Aunt Guo, and said, "Let's talk about your sister first. Mrs. Yu Shi's original wife, Yu Shi, The loss of women's morality, the poisoning of the mother-in-law, the repeated assassination of the concubine's heirs, and the framing of the concubine's daughter are vicious and unlawful. These are not fabricated by me, and they are all recorded in the Ministry of Rites. With this alone, He Fu can immediately dismiss her But where is she now? In the Buddhist hall of He Fu, she eats He Fu and wears He Fu, and she still occupies the title of wife. Based on this, how can He Fu treat her?"

Although these things have not been made public, they were also circulated privately among the courtiers, so most of the guests knew about them.But the onlookers on the street didn't know. It turned out that the daughter of the first-rank minister and the wife of Mr. Yu Shi, who was in charge of the minister's work and morality, did such a rebellious thing. How can there be no uproar?Whose face is it that he loses face if he is not strict with his daughter and grandchildren?This Aunt Guo has such a big sister, but she still has the nerve to come and make trouble!Immediately, people who didn't understand that Liuli, who is the general's wife, wantonly disrupted the funeral, all nodded their heads.
