Chapter 313

"Qiu'er! You don't know how to speak, and you don't want to insult the girl's ears!" Nanny Chafang entered the room and gave Dong'er a look before turning to Hui'an.

Hui'an was sleepy for a while and didn't realize it. She looked at Qiu'er for a while, and asked in surprise, "Who were you talking about just now? Ma Mingyuan?"

Seeing Qiu'er nodding, Hui'an couldn't help but sneer.The Ma Mansion is now quite beautiful, and Ma Mingyuan is the only son and only grandson. Hui'an really didn't expect Sun Xinci to be able to hook Ma Mingyuan, a big fish. It has been extremely lucky.

But what kind of virtue is Ma Mingyuan? Hui'an is very clear about Sun Xinci's future path...

"Has Ma Manor sent someone here?" Hui An looked at Nanny Fang, but Nanny Fang shook her head and replied.

"Never."

Hui'an laughed when he heard the words: "I'm afraid it's not so easy for Sun Xinci to enter the Ma's residence. The wet nurse will help me look after her. If someone comes to the Ma's residence, don't make things difficult. He is allowed to carry him away, except for Sun Xinci. Even if it belongs to the Hou Mansion, she, Sun Xinci, don't even think about taking an embroidery needle out of the mansion!"

Two days later, the case of Fengyang female marquis being poisoned, which has attracted the attention of the people in Beijing, was finally finalized. Emperor Xiankang was furious at the Jinluan Hall, and personally ordered the execution of Sun Xixiang's concubine, Du Shi, because the young master of Fengyang Hou's mansion was his biological father. Pleading, the emperor exonerated Sun Xixiang for his filial piety, removed his official position, exiled Lingnan, and all the property under his name was transferred to Fengyang Marquis.

The other two ink corruption cases that were carried out together with Shen Nuhou's murder case also ended in the presiding trial of King Ping. Li Bainian and Gao Liben were both sentenced to beheaded for the crime of corruption of ink. During the trial process, King Ping showed his thunderous and fair side , was praised by Emperor Xiankang.

On February 23, the ninth year of Hongde, more than a dozen ministers jointly wrote a letter to ask King Ping to be the crown prince, and the emperor agreed.

Also on the same day, Sun Xixiang was escorted to Lingnan. Hui An did not go to see him off that day, but asked Mother Fang to wrap a bag of white money, and handed it to Sun Xixiang in front of the escorting officers, soldiers and many prisoners. "filial piety".

As soon as Shen Feng's case was concluded, Hui'an settled down and stayed in Shen Qing's mourning hall every day, opening the coffin for autopsy was no better than burying a dead person.In the eyes of the world, it is an extremely unlucky and ominous event, so although everyone in the capital wants to discuss the matter of Fengyang Houfu at this moment, sigh for a while, and be too curious, but rush With the word "big fierce", most people walked around the Hou's mansion when they walked.

It's just that Shen Qing died unjustly after all, and those people who are usually close to the Hou's mansion will inevitably come to the Hou's mansion to worship, Hui An guards above the mourning hall, although Shen Feng's family is supporting the scene, but after all, they are looking at the people Being so thin makes people feel sad, and the ladies who came to visit will inevitably drag Hui An to cry for a while.

One day, Hui'an was kneeling on the futon and throwing paper money into the brazier, but he heard a young servant shouting outside: "The second lady of the Guan family pays homage to the dead souls, let's have fun."

Following the cry, sorrow and joy arose, and Hui An raised her head to see a lady in a plain dress, who was slightly richer, entered the hall. Behind her was a young girl who had not yet grown up, also wearing a plain dress, with her hair on her head. Wearing a white velvet silk flower on it, it is Guan Lizhen, a girl from the second house of Guanfu.

The maid lit three sticks of incense and gave them to the second wife and Guan Lizhen. After the two bowed and handed the incense to the maid to put in the incense burner, Hui An hurriedly knelt and returned the gift.Then the second lady came over, helped Hui'an to hold her hand, and sighed: "My good boy, get up quickly, you look haggard a lot. This person can't be brought back to life after death, so don't be too sad, you can cry The grievances have been brought to light, this is already a great filial piety for your mother, it should be considered a great thing, and you should be happy, instead of crying like this, you have to make your mother look sad over there."

As she spoke, she looked at Nanny Fang behind Hui An, and said, "Is it Nanny Fang's? Nanny is an old man in the house, please persuade me a little more, the girl is pure and filial, but she kneels on the ground every day in this cold weather." But it can't. She is a child who doesn't know how powerful it is, but Mammy can't let her hurt her body."

Mother Fang hurriedly blessed Fushen when she heard the words, Hui An couldn't help shedding tears again, and also thanked Fushen, Second Madam Guan looked at Guan Lizhen, Guan Lizhen stepped forward and squeezed a bit, then pouted and said: " Don't be sad, crying too much is not good for your health, it's also ugly..."

Hui'an knew that Guan Lizhen and Gu Yuxin were on good terms, so she didn't want to see her last time she went to the Hou's Mansion for a banquet.But look at her big black eyes, there is indeed a bit of concern and sympathy. Reflecting on her baby-fat face, red mouth, and somewhat awkward expression, she looks like a child having a temper tantrum, Hui An felt a little fondness in her heart, smiled at her, and said, "Thank you sister for your concern."

Guan Lizhen curled her lips and turned her head away, but the second lady glared at her, then pulled Hui'an and said, "She is naive and spoiled by me, so please ignore her. You are not much different in age. When you enter the mansion, you should get closer and closer. You are a sensible and safe person, and if you take her with you in the future, you can also teach her to learn, and I can understand things as soon as possible, so I can worry less. "

The second lady gave Hui'an a gentle smile as she spoke, Hui'an couldn't help but blushed when she heard that she didn't treat herself as an outsider, and said that she didn't dare.Guan Lizhen, on the other hand, saw her blushing, let out a cold snort between her nostrils, and raised her eyes to glare at Hui An.

On the contrary, Hui'an smiled at her, and blinked her eyes twice, which made Guan Lizhen's face flushed, stomping her feet but being speechless, while the second lady smiled when she saw it.He dragged Hui'an to explain a few more words, and then took Guan Lizhen to leave.On the other hand, Nanny Fang watched the two walk away, and said with a smile: "This second lady is kind, at least she will have someone to talk to when she enters the mansion."

Four days later, the seventh day of mourning was over, Shen Qing was buried, and then Huian sent Shen Feng's family away, and the huge Fengyang Marquis Mansion suddenly became deserted.The Empress Dowager left Beijing in mid-March, and now the Ministry of Rituals is intensively preparing for the Empress Dowager's move to the Eastern Capital. Nanny Fang and Mother Zhao are already packing for Hui'an's luggage.

So many things have happened in the Hou Mansion, and now Hui An is in a hurry to leave again, there are too many things to do.Those properties under the name of Sun Xixiang have to go to the government one by one, and the messy properties of the Hou Mansion that Sun Xixiang messed up also need to be disposed of. The manpower bought before, but in the end there is still a shortage of manpower.In addition, many shops were already seriously short of money, so Hui An simply closed all the shops that were in bad condition, and planned to sell the shops first, and it would not be too late to start business again when she had a good idea.
