Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 62
Caiyue hanged herself, and her parents and siblings were murdered near the Zhou mansion. According to ordinary people's thinking, Zhou Boshan should be a man with his tail clamped, carefully cooperate with Cheng Hao, the cold-faced servant of the Ministry of Justice, to investigate the case, and cleanse himself. clear suspicion.Unexpectedly, Zhou Boshan did not play his cards according to common sense, and a map shot almost turned the officials upside down.

Zhou Boshan wrote a letter to express the disgust of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and listed dozens of items in one breath, ranging from procrastination to official affairs, to selling officials and nobles.Eloquently, there are facts and evidence. Except for Guo Jingzi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who survived the disaster, dozens of officials, big and small, were within his range.After reading the memorial, Qinzong scolded the officials of the Ministry of Officials in front of all civil and military officials, ordered Cheng Hao, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments, to thoroughly investigate the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and praised Zhou Boshan as a loyal and respectful minister.

Once Zhou Boshan became famous, although he didn't get promoted, the case of officials' corruption of ink should have been handled by Dali Temple, but Qinzong asked Cheng Hao, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, to investigate the case thoroughly by name and surname, which is self-evident.

The ministers who are qualified to serve in front of the palace are all smarter than monkeys with sticky hair, of course they can understand Qinzong's subtext, don't use the lives of a few domestic slaves as a cover to frame his valued ministers!Now that this happened, no one would be so stupid as to risk his wealth and life against Qin Zong, so no one would mention Zhou Boshan's murder of his slaves.

Jin Xi knelt in the crowd, listening to the grandpa Sun who came last time to read the imperial decree full of praise loudly, looking at Zhou Boshan who was respectfully lying on the ground in front of him, he suddenly understood what Mr. Yun Zong said that night What does it mean. "Fish in troubled water is delicious", Zhou Boshan's trick of fish in troubled water is really good!
But as the old saying goes, don't look at your joy now, sooner or later I will make a list for you!A sensationalist climbs up by stepping on other people's shoulders, and sooner or later he has to be stepped on.When Zhou Boshan is in a good mood, she won't be in the spotlight, and when he is unlucky in the future, don't let yourself be hurt!While kowtowing to thank everyone, Jin Xi was full of random thoughts.

After Eunuch Sun left, Jinxi took advantage of the opportunity of the crowd of people from all over the house to congratulate the eldest lady, and sneaked out of the main hall and went straight to Heling Hall to see Xiyi.

Seeing Jinxi, Xiyi got up from the bed and threw herself into her arms with her calves, and said in a childish voice: "Sixth sister lied to me again, you said that you came to see me early in the morning, and you still have to talk to me?" I served my grandmother for breakfast together, how can I say nothing! I was asked to eat with my grandmother alone, but I did as my sister told me. I didn’t eat what my grandmother liked, and kept it for my grandmother. Grandma blew the soup to cool down, and grandma praised me for blowing it well, no saliva stars flew out. I went to cover grandma with a quilt in the middle of the night, "

Xiyi dragged out all the things she had secretly taught in one breath, Jin Xi was one head and two big, with childish words, didn't you know that secrets were going to rot in your stomach?Fortunately, all the servants in the mansion congratulated the eldest lady in the front hall. At this time, only Lingzhi, the most loyal maidservant beside Jiu Yiniang, was serving in the room, so these words would not reach the old lady's ears.Otherwise, it would be in vain for her to rack her brains to make the old lady fall in love with Xiyi.

Jin Xi gently tugged Xi Yi's face left and right, pretending to be angry and said: "These are what you should do, I didn't teach you, do you remember?"

Xiyi blinked her beautiful big eyes and nodded half-understanding, these words were clearly taught by the sixth sister, why not let him say them?But Sixth Sister is a good person, unlike other brothers and sisters who always beat and scold him, he listens to what Sixth Sister says!
"Today there is a big happy event in our family. When grandma comes back later, if the eldest aunt comes along, you can kowtow to grandma to congratulate her. If the eldest aunt doesn't follow, you can pour a cup of tea for grandma to quench her thirst. Don't say anything else, remember Are you staying?"

"Why?" Not only Xiyi was confused, but Ling Lingzhi was also a little confused.Zhou Boshan was praised by the emperor, isn't this a happy event?Da Furen should congratulate Old Furen whether she follows her or not!

"You can do whatever I say!" Jinxi emphasized her tone, and Xiyi nodded quickly. "You too, be more careful in the future, and think about everything more. Jiu Yiniang sent you to take care of Brother Yi, not just to take care of his food and clothing! I'll go out for a walk and come back later. Don't talk to others. Say I've been here." Jin Xi rolled her eyes at Ganoderma lucidum, which looked delicate but was full of muddleheadedness, and really didn't understand how Jiu Yiniang could be so stupid.

If the old lady brings Xiyi back, she will definitely send someone to wait on him. Even if Xiyi moves back to Jiuyiniang's house, the servants in the mansion will not dare to bully him casually if he has people who are rewarded by the old lady to serve him.As a result, the old lady hadn't picked a good person yet, so Jiu Yiniang hurriedly sent her big maid over to serve her, as if she was afraid that the old lady would treat Xiyi poorly.Not only did he offend the old lady invisibly, but the one who sent it was a fool.Apart from serving tea and pouring water, making beds and feeding meals, I don't know anything else.

How many stepmothers in this world are willing to watch their step-sons prosper, always dominating their own sons?Especially my own son is still unlucky enough to drink cold water, but his step-son is the one who is lucky and encounters good things one after another!I don't even understand such a simple truth, and the long head is for eating?

Sure enough, as expected by Jin Xi, when the old lady came back, her face was so dark that water could be wrung out.Xiyi waited for a long while, and when she saw the old lady entering the room, she took the tea she had prepared and brought it to her.Seeing him as a small man, tremblingly holding a large bowl of strong tea, taking small steps forward.Nanny Zhou hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but Xiyi refused to give it to her, and held it all the way to the old lady, "Grandmother drinks tea! I fanned it!"

"What did you fan it?" The old lady didn't understand, but she realized that the temperature of the tea was right, and she immediately understood.It turned out that the grandson she didn't want to see cooled the tea with a fan and waited for her to come back to drink.Most of the anger in my heart dissipated immediately, I stroked Xiyi's limp hair on top of her head, and said with a smile, "Who taught you this?"

"My aunt usually prepares tea for me like this, so I followed her example. Did I do something wrong?" After living in Helingtang for more than ten days, Xiyi was no longer afraid of the old lady, but listening to her Questioning is still a little nervous.Grabbing the corner of the pea-green cotton silk jacket with her little hand, she dared not look up, "Don't be angry, grandma, I won't dare again! I will definitely change!"

"Grandmother is not angry! Go out and have fun!" These days, the old lady knew that Xiyi was timid, so she ordered Lingzhi to take him to play in the yard.After he went out, the old lady put down her teacup and sighed, "He's a pretty good kid, but he's a concubine!"

Nanny Zhou knew that the frailty of the second master, Zhou Bohai's son, had always been the old lady's heart disease, and the only son, Xiyao, was at odds with Zhou Bohai because his biological mother, Rong's spiritual seat, could not enter the ancestral hall. They are all descendants of the Zhou family, and they will make you a fortune in the future!"

The old lady didn't make a fuss, she looked thoughtfully at the villain running outside the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid that the second daughter-in-law will not want to!"

The words that came out of nowhere made Nanny Zhou puzzled for a while, and after a while she realized that the old lady actually had the idea of ​​recording Xiyi under the name of the second lady as her first son.After thinking for a while, he persuaded: "Brother Yi is still young, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future. I will wait a few more years according to the wishes of the old slave. Besides, the second wife is not very old, so she may not be able to give birth to a son. Wait a few more years, If you really can't come out, she won't be able to say no when you talk again. After all... Xie's family has been in the limelight for the past few years, and the second master has to rely on that."

Jin Xi just walked outside the door, Madam Zhou's voice was very low, only a few fragments of indistinct wind drifted into her ears.But she has a strong comprehension ability, and she can guess what the two people in the room are discussing in an instant.The old lady didn't say a word, apparently acquiescing to Zhou Nanny's statement, Jinxi almost jumped in regret, and her plan was just one step away from being accomplished.But she calmed down very quickly, what Nanny Zhou said was right, it is neither wise nor meaningful to put Xiyi under the name of the second lady at this moment.A person's future is not entirely determined by his identity, but more by his ability.

The status of this kind of empty-headed son-in-law can neither eat nor drink, which is far less important than learning one's own skills!
Jin Xi lifted the curtain and came in with a smile, "Grandma, the toon buds in the yard are getting old, send someone to pick them off!"

"You monkey spirit, a few leaves are worthy of your concern!" The old lady scolded with a smile, "I didn't deduct your food, why do you always look like this gluttonous?"

Jin Xi's skin was thicker than a mattress, swallowed and muttered, "It's a pity if you don't eat it! Let's scramble eggs, how about soft tofu?"

One sentence, coupled with her greedy face, made the old lady laugh out loud, and Nanny Zhou also laughed.As soon as the old lady hugged her, Jin Xi crawled into the old lady's arms, coquettishly, "Just eat scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, just eat! I want to eat two big plates!"

"Good! Good!" The old lady laughed so hard that tears came out, and the depression just now was swept away.Jin Xi was acting coquettishly in the old lady's arms, without any psychological barrier at all.In her heart, the old lady is an empty and lonely old man who loves her very much. She can make the old lady happy without spending any money.

At lunch, there was a large plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon on the table, Xiyi thoughtfully gave the old lady a chopstick.Jin Xi took the opportunity to say: "Brother Yi, can you read the poems about toon?"

Xiyi shook her head, Jinxi taunted him and said, "You're so stupid, my grandfather is a dignified master, you can't even read a poem about toon, it's really embarrassing to my grandfather!" Convinced, he argued: "I'm not an idiot, I haven't learned it. If I had learned it, I would definitely read it!"

"Ah? You're so old and haven't enlightened yet?" Jin Xi exaggeratedly widened her eyes.The old lady listened to the question and answer of the two of them, and turned her face to ask Nanny Zhou, "Didn't the old man set a rule that the descendants of the Zhou family were enlightened at the age of three? Why didn't brother Yi enlighten?"

"Second Madam said that Brother Yi is weak, so it will be later!" It is not necessary to ask, it is obvious that the Second Madam is acting as a hindrance and wants to raise the concubine disabled.Nanny Zhou sighed secretly, and forced a smile.However, Xiyi jumped off the stool unconvinced, and said with her small chest: "I am not weak, and I can eat two big bowls of rice for one meal! I want to study, and I will earn money for my grandmother..." Xiyi thought for a while I didn't know what to say for a long time, my little face was flushed, I compared my hands to my head, and said loudly: "A big hat full of pearls!"

Jinxi almost spit out the rice in his mouth with a 'poof', what a big hat filled with pearls, he still couldn't remember the word "obedience" for a long time.But Xiyi's childish language is just right for the old lady, this kind of childish language is not taught by adults.Unexpectedly, Xiyi had such a heart, the old lady looked at him with a little more kindness, and personally carried a piece of fish for Xiyi, picked out the small thorns and put it in his bowl. "Good grandson! Good grandson! Eat this piece of fish and grow up quickly. Grandma is waiting for you to earn me a big hat full of pearls."

The old lady's words were tantamount to agreeing to let Xiyi study. Jin Xi let out a long sigh of relief, and went to find Mr. Yun Zong after eating.
