208,

"What else do you want?!"

Yaxin didn't dare to raise her voice, she only dared to take advantage of the close distance between the two of them and growl through gritted teeth.

After she yelled, she was afraid of being exposed, so she endured it and said briskly, "...If I were an elder brother, I should kowtow to my elders. Unfortunately, I am a princess."

"We banner people value the daughter's family, so there is no one who kowtows in the girl's family. Or just hold a 'Tai'ertou' and kowtow on behalf of her."

"But unfortunately today, although I have been accused of being married, the wedding has not yet been held. Therefore, I only wear the girl's big braid today, but I don't wear a bun."

"Since I don't have a bun, there's no way to mention 'helping your head'... Therefore, I'm really sorry for you. Following the ancestral rules, my courtesy can only go so far."

Twenty-Twenty smiled lightly but did not cry out.

Banner people have strict rules. If the elders don't call out, they can't get up and have to continue to kneel.

Nian and Twenty did not respond to what Li Yaxin had just said. He only looked up at Ming An with a smile, "Mr. Sir, I just talked a lot and my mouth is a bit dry. Excuse me, sir, could you please give me a bowl of tea?"

Ming'an didn't understand, so he quickly glanced at Yaxin.

222 This is very clear, and it is a waste of words.

After all, in the Hongyi Duke's house today, the two princes Liu Fujin and Shiqi Fujin, Fujin, cannot return to their mother's house. In terms of status alone, the highest in the woman's family is the duchess, and there is no one more than the 220-year-old.

If Twenty-Twenty doesn't spit or scream, the whole family will have to stay by the side except Yaxin who continues to kneel.

The cold winter is hard for young and old alike to bear.

Anyway, Twenty-Twenty wasn't in a hurry, didn't say anything, just kept his head down and drank tea.

It depends on whether the person kneeling on the ground can withstand the cold air in the ground on his knees and on his face, whether he can bear the looks of the family, old and young!

Since ancient times, there has been a degree of respect and inferiority. It is not that anyone wants to make things difficult for others, but that this is how the generation is discussed, and this is how the concept of respect and inferiority is achieved!

Yaxin also didn't expect that Twenty-Twenty could be so calm.

In the past, this humble six-bedroom girl had all the humility that could not be erased from her bones, but now it is all gone!

Yaxin gritted her teeth no matter how unwilling she was, but finally had no choice but to continue her salute...

Even though it is not an actual kowtow, the gesture of holding one's forehead is equivalent to kowtow for a banner woman.

.

Finally receiving Yaxin's gift, Twenty-Twenty finally put down the teacup without any haste and raised his hand into the void as a virtual support.

"I'm so sorry for Yaxin Gege. Get up quickly..."

Because Yaxin had been kneeling for so long, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't even stand up.

My knees couldn't hold any strength, and my calves were as heavy as lead.

Fortunately, several servant girls nearby came forward to help him, and he barely managed to avoid falling down in front of everyone.

Yaxin stood up and looked at Twenty-Twenty, and sneered in a voice that could only be heard by the distance between the two of them, "How noble you are for thinking that you are so noble! The fifteenth brother's inner courtyard is so easy to enter.

?”

"You are a gift from the Emperor himself. After you enter, you don't know how many people you will have to queue behind!"

Twenty-two quietly raised his eyes, "In our family, how far is our sixth room ranked? The last one, the bottom one, right?"

"With a house like Ping's, I can climb up step by step, reach where I am today, and receive the honorable gift from you, a direct descendant of the clan... Then why should I not be able to bear it and walk unsteadily?"

.

After performing the great ceremony of worshiping the ancestors of the whole clan, Nian and Twenty went home with his parents.

She and E Niang cuddled up together, squeezed into a carriage, and Nuan Er Niang closed her eyes lovingly.

Such opportunities, after all, are counted on one's fingers, and each time they pass by, there will be one less.

Yehenala didn't understand why, so she hugged her daughter tightly and asked softly, "I see you are so deliberately insulting Yaxin today...what's the reason?"

"Is it possible that you two had any quarrels when you were in the palace?"

As the eldest daughter, Xiu Mu always reported good news but not bad news when she returned home. She never told Amma and E Niang about the bad things in the palace to worry about.

She just laughed and shook her head, "...it's not a big deal. After all, our house is short, and she is used to looking down on us with six bedrooms. But after all, the days will be different in the future, and I have to wait before entering the palace.

, first ask her to set up the rules."

Yehenala sighed softly. Although she didn't ask in detail, she vaguely understood her daughter's state of mind.

Twenty-two murmured softly, "Eni, do you know how many 'death-free letters' our family has received in total?"

In ancient times, meritorious officials were given gold medals and iron certificates to avoid death. In the Qing Dynasty, this rule was called the "Edict of Exemption from Death." Any hero, himself or his family, could be exempted from the death penalty because of military merit.

E Yidu, the ancestor of the 220 family, was also the number one hero of the Qing Dynasty, and not only was he a hero, E Yidu's children and grandchildren also had many military exploits.

Therefore, the Eryidu family probably had the most "death-free edicts" among all the families in the Qing Dynasty.

Yehenara raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "Who knows?"

Yehenara thought for a while and suddenly sighed, "After all, we have no share in the sixth room."

For more than 200 years, no one in Liufang has performed military exploits, and has not earned any worldly titles for the family, let alone a death-free edict.

Twenty-Twenty sighed softly and murmured in a low voice, "In addition to the ancestor who earned the edict to avoid death, Cheerge, the ancestor of the third room, received the edict and was exempted from death three times; Turge, the ancestor of the eighth room, received the edict and was exempted from death.

Die once;”

"Ilden, the tenth chamber, received the imperial decree and was spared from death twice; Esen, the ancestor of the twelve chambers, was spared death once; Chao Haer, the thirteenth chamber, was spared death once..."

"These are all obtained by the ancestors of each house. If we talk about what their descendants will obtain...it will be countless."

Therefore, no matter how serious the crime was, the descendants of Niu Hulu's Hongyi family were not punished with death by express decree. It was because of the death-free edicts earned through the merits of these fathers and brothers.

Even Neqin, Emperor Qianlong hated him so much that he just gave Neqin the sword of his grandfather Ye Bilong, telling Neqin to understand the truth and commit suicide with his grandfather's sword.

The remaining concubines and concubines could only die inexplicably.

As for Yaxin's grandfather Aibida, he committed a serious crime and was sent to the northwest. However, after his death, all the chief eunuchs in the inner court still had to send their chief eunuchs to pay tribute...

Therefore, it is impossible to clearly investigate Yaxin's "crime".

What's more, in the final analysis, Yaxin's tricks failed to achieve their goals.

Neither Nian Twenty nor Ya Qing suffered any actual damage from this. It was just a feeling of anger in their hearts.

But even if we can't pursue it publicly, it doesn't matter.

Today's commotion has naturally dissipated the anger in her heart.

Looking back in the direction of the Forbidden City, Twenty-Twenty finally smiled.

Thank you, Master~
