pampering wife

Chapter 143

Qu Heng's case has already been settled, and Xu's family has also got the news, the mother and daughter are naturally comforted.Qingmei also talked about the things that had not been cleared up in the He family, and she had been sheltered by the King of England for two days, Xu only wanted Qingmei to be safe and sound at this moment, no matter what to do to avoid suspicion, she naturally agreed with it.

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Qing Mei was concerned about Marquis Wu An, so she went to the Marquis' residence first.Xu's heart was happy, and she went to the tavern to explain the matter, and then went to the He family in Chongrenfang.

There are several jugs of fruit wine in the green plums in the box, and I went to the pastry shop on Hede Street to choose a few pastries that tasted like the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife, and then followed Jun Li to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.

A row of green peaches outside the Hou's mansion has long since bloomed, but now the willow branches are graceful and the green leaves are lush, full of vitality in summer.The servant at the door saw the King of England coming, so he rushed to meet him, and arranged for someone to rush in to report.When Junli and Qingmei entered the second gate, they saw Mrs. Chu leading the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion to welcome them out, and they made a confession.

There are not many males in the Marquis of Wu'an. In the early years when the Marquis was stationed in the frontier, Mrs. Chu presided over the banquet, and she greeted all the guests. Now that the Marquis is ill, everything falls on her shoulders.Qingmei hadn't seen her for a long time, although she still looked graceful and luxurious at the moment, there was a bit of fatigue in her expression.

She went up to greet Mrs. Chu, and Mrs. Chu took her hand and patted it.A group of people arrived at the living room inside, and Marquis Wu An was already sitting there, but when he was about to get up, Jun Li stopped him, "Your Majesty is not feeling well, there is no need to be polite. After Qingmei comes out, I am worried about your health, so I will bring her over to have a look." Look." He walked quickly, and Qingmei came into the living room when he finished speaking, calling out: "Uncle Chu!"

"Xiao Qingmei is here." Marquis Wu An smiled and waved to her.Originally, he was healthy and healthy and had few illnesses, but this time his old injuries resurfaced under the exhaustion, which is very difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Marquis Wu An was in good spirits, and after a few words with Qing Mei, he brought up the business again, "I heard that He Jiuling was jointly impeached and has been imprisoned?" Is there any movement around?"

"The queen has nothing to do now, and she was almost grounded because of this." Jun Li took a sip of tea, frowning slightly, "The ones who have a headache now are the queen mother and those people in the south."

"The one in the south has been arranged by the second prince, not to mention that many of my generals have gone there, so there is nothing to fear. On the empress dowager's side, if the emperor is not good at explaining, this matter will be difficult to handle."

"So this matter, I have to trouble Lord Hou."

The two of them talked smoothly, but it's hard for Qingmei to be listening in the cloud, but she couldn't intervene in such matters, so she had to listen quietly.At the end, Marquis Wu'an said: "The news from the north will arrive within two days, my lord can rest assured." The topic changed and he brought up the he family's henchmen again.

Here, Qingmei saw that Marquis Wu An was fine, so she went to the inner courtyard to look for Chu Hongxiu.At this moment, Chu Hongxiu was practicing swordsmanship, wearing a short and lean outfit, moving neatly and neatly, quite heroically.Seeing Qingmei coming, she threw away the scimitar and said with a smile: "I just got out of the cage yesterday, I thought you were going to rest in bed today. Seeing that you are in good spirits, I underestimated you before!"

"Sister Chu, is this a joke or a compliment?"

Chu Hongxiu smiled and led her into the house, "It's a good thing to experience more experience, and you won't panic if you encounter big storms in the future. By the way, Miss Wen is getting married tomorrow, and my mother will take me to Wen's house to congratulate you. You go not going?"

"I'll forget it." Qing Mei smiled helplessly.Wen Yixin didn't have a deep friendship with her, and even though she didn't have a holiday, she wasn't close. After she got married, she was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. According to the attitude of Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter towards Qingmei, it might not be appropriate for Qingmei to go.But since Gu Changqing is getting married, Qingmei naturally has to say that her gift has been prepared, and she will just ask Chu Hongxiu to hand it over when the time comes.

For the Gu family, Chu Hongxiu didn't like it very much, seeing that Qingmei lacked interest in it, she didn't say anything more, and instead joked, "I heard that the King of England has proposed to His Majesty to marry you?"

ah?Qingmei stared wide-eyed.Why doesn't she know about this?
"The King of England brought up the matter on the day General Qu's case was vindicated, and my father was there at the time. Guess what?" Seeing that she didn't know, Chu Hongxiu smiled more and more mysteriously, making Qingmei even curious, and asked :"What's wrong?"

"The emperor thinks that the king is disregarding priorities, and punished him to face the wall, haha!"

"What's so funny about this?" Qing Mei muttered, but Chu Hongxiu smiled, "I think King Ying's temperament is very funny. At that time, most of the people present were people who had friendship with General Qu, what King Ying said It’s high-sounding, saying that General Qu’s hero has been wronged, now it’s time to treat the orphans kindly, and praise General Qu for his heart for the country. The emperor hasn’t expressed his opinion yet, those people were all persuaded by the King of England, and they persuaded the emperor together, and finally the emperor was relieved by what he said , promised to give him a marriage! But after all, he couldn't hold back his face, so he was fined."

It turned out that the key point was here, Qingmei laughed.There are many precedents for giving marriages to reward heroes. For example, there were generals who died in battle before, and their daughters were given marriages to their clan relatives.However, it is likely that the marriage was given at the time of meritorious service, and it must be a great contribution that benefited the community, so this honor can be obtained. The girls are also of high status, so it is passed on as a good story.

But even if Qu Heng made meritorious service, it was only due to the hard work of guarding the frontier fortress more than ten years ago, but because the emperor felt ashamed, he exaggerated his contribution and made an exception to pursue the title.It is somewhat opportunistic for Jun Li to use this to talk about things.But it is a good thing to get the emperor's approval.

The only thing that bothered Qingmei was that Junli had kept such a good thing a secret, if Chu Hongxiu hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known about it!Hmph, you have to settle things properly when you go back.
