Chapter 424 Birthday Prelude [Part 1]
This evening.
Xu was dressed up for a rare time, and waited outside the gate early, happily greeted her husband and son.
When she got inside, she realized that Lai Wang and Jiao Shun didn't look a little smiling on their faces, but instead looked sad.
Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly grabbed her husband's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is it that Brother Shun'er's promotion going bad again?"
"Yellow is not yellow."
Lai Wang smiled bitterly and said, "But this time, it may not be a good thing to be promoted."
"How do you say this?"
Xu only felt inexplicable: "It's okay to be transferred to the office without any responsibilities. Now the department still has responsibilities. Why is it not a good thing for his son to be promoted?"
Lai Wang and Jiao Shun looked at each other, and the father and son shook their heads and sighed at the same time.
Xu was anxious and pulled her husband's ear to ask, "What's going on? You've explained it to me!"
"No, no, I said, can't I say it?"
Lai Wang hurriedly begged for mercy and did not dare to keep it in hiding: "You must have heard of it, right? This time, Brother Shun was able to become a sacrificial priest in engineering and study, relying on the emperor's insistence. I heard that the civil servants in the court at that time were almost all over the court.
They all knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his life. Even if they had to establish engineering, the position of priest should be held by a person who was well-read in poetry, books, and the emperor refused to agree!"
“Isn’t this a good thing?!”
Xu smiled and clapped his hands, "Anyway, Brother Shun has never been favored by scholars. Now that Master Long is so hard to praise him, we must treat this official well in the future and cannot embarrass Master Long.
We must not let those scholars see our jokes!"
"Oh~"
Lai Wang shook his head again and sighed: "It's better that things will end here. The problem is that in the afternoon, Master Sui Ge handed over a sign to the palace and persuaded him, but the result is..."
"What's the result?!"
Xu raised his heart to his throat again: "Is it because the emperor took it back to life?"
"That's not."
Lai Wang shook his head. Xu had just let go of his heart and heard him say, "But Master Sui was furious and failed to give him a memorial and resigned from office!"
"What?!"
Xu was also dumbfounded for a moment. This Sui Pavilion Master was the chief assistant of the dynasty. He resigned from office for the sake of his son's work and sacrificial work?!
She finally understood why Jiao Shun was promoted to Guan'er, but both father and son looked dejected. The little thing about the sixth rank and fifth rank was forced away by the chief minister of the dynasty. The court was under the Sui Pavilion.
The old guardians should not hate their son to death?
I used to be just public outrage, but now I have a personal grudge!
"this……"
Xu said inexplicably: "What is he trying to do? Because of a fifth-rank official, the dignified prime minister wanted to resign and stop?"
"Maybe it was against the taboo of Master Sui."
Jiao Shun said lazily: "Before Master Sui entered the pavilion, he had been a priest of the Imperial College for seven or eight years. It is said that he often told people that the most proud thing in his life was not the current dynasty.
The chief minister, when he was serving as a sacrificial tribute in the Imperial College, cultivated a group of pillars of the country."
To put it bluntly, it is the style of "shy companionship with those people" and "you are also worthy of the surname Zhao".
After dinner, Jiao Shun said again: "Mom, what are we going to eat tonight? I was shocked and suddenly in the yamen. I didn't even have lunch, so I was so hungry now."
After saying that, seeing Lai Wang turn to look at him, he said helplessly: "The elder of the cabinet is going to resign. What can we do? I can't go and resign, right?"
"Don't!"
"no!"
Although Xu and Lai Wang knew that he was joking, they still refused in unison.
"Isn't this going to end?"
Jiao Shun spread his hands: "I'm just sitting down anyway. What kind of minister of the Pavilion? Who do you love? At worst, soldiers will come to block the generals, and water will cover the soil. Besides, there is no emperor behind him?"
Seeing that his son had regained his former vitality, Xu also smiled again and said repeatedly: "That's right! Qingwen, Qingwen, hurry up and let the kitchen serve. Our family is very happy today!"
Seeing that the mother and son were both stingy, Lai Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was usually smart and capable, but once he encountered big things, he was easy to look after them. The big things he encountered in his life were combined, but I was afraid he would not have a son.
'Take down' the great master of the current dynasty.
That night.
Lai Wang is drinking to drown his sorrows, while Xu is drinking and talking about joy, and is Jiao Shun... It should be considered a mixture of flavors.
Anyway, the two of them drank a lot of wine, and even Xu was a little drunk in the end.
Si Qi, Xiangling, Yuchuan and Hongyu went out together to carry Jiao Shun back to the east wing.
Xiangling and Xiaohong took off Jiao Shun's boots at the end of the bed. Yuchuan's eyes were sharp. Seeing Jiao Shun's mouth couldn't be opened, it seemed to be saying something, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to sober up the soup, or do you want it?"
wash……"
“Wow~”
Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun turned sideways and vomited in her arms.
Yuchuan screamed, even Xing Xiuyan in the south room was alarmed. She didn't care about her confinement period, so she hurried over to check the truth.
After asking about the causes and consequences, Xing Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, stopped Si Qi, who wanted to scold Yuchuan, and said softly: "Hongyu, take your sister to the west wing to take a shower, there are Xiangling and
Siqi is enough.”
Yuchuan apologized and then ran back to the west wing with a bitter face.
When she returned to the dormitory, she took off her clothes and sighed. It was her turn to serve the bed today, but she happened to catch up with the old man Gao Sheng. For this reason, she took a special shower in the afternoon and changed her clothes from inside to outside.
Who would have thought...
It's okay outside, but the garment inside is not new to replace. Yu Chuan thought about it and suddenly realized that she had two special purpose battle robes. Although she felt embarrassed to wear them during the day, she was also concerned about them.
There is no need to be so much.
It turned around and it was the second day of August.
Yu Chuan got up early in the morning and washed all the clothes she had accumulated. As soon as she was drying it in the southwest corner of the yard, she saw Si Qi coming out of the east wing with her pair of shoes. Seeing that she was wiping her hands with a towel, she ordered:
"Yuchuan, you send this shoe to Miss Lin to the garden now. Come back quickly after delivering the things, don't run around!"
Seeing Si Qi being domineering, Yuchuan couldn't help but curl her lips secretly, thinking that she hadn't become an aunt yet, and she was even tougher than her. If she really wanted her to become an aunt, she would be afraid that there would be no other's way to live in the future.
But Yuchuan didn't dare to provoke Si Qi.
I could only take the shoes and rushed to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a little emotion.
However, after arriving at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I was unable to see Lin Daiyu. I heard that my sisters were taken to Ouxiangxie to rehearse the birthday celebration program.
Yuchuan had no choice but to give her shoes to the left-behind maid.
After leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yuchuan originally planned to return to the Jiao family on the same road, but when she thought of Si Qi's domineering attitude, she became rebellious and thought that she would not let me wander around, so I insisted on going around!
So he walked aimlessly along the stream.
Who would have thought that as he walked, the wind suddenly changed. Seeing the strong wind curling dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun was coming, Yu Chuan knew something was wrong, so she hurriedly ran towards the closest Yangcui Temple.
As a result, as soon as I ran halfway, the heavy rain poured down. After a hundred steps, she felt a chill.
When he arrived at the Yangcui Temple, Yuchuan squeezed into the door and couldn't help but scold Siqi, but unexpectedly, the temple gate was a little left and right, and a man with a parasol came out of it. When he saw Yuchuan, he was very surprised:
"Yuchuan?"
Yuchuan was also surprised: "Sister Caixia, why are you here?"
The person who came was Caixia, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Wang. Caixia only heard Caixia explain: "The old lady passed by here yesterday and said that the incense was broken in the temple, so my wife specially brought us to burn incense today.
, and I plan to invite a few nuns to live in after the old lady’s birthday."
"Mrs. are here too?"
Yuchuan subconsciously tightened her collar and showed a hint of nervousness on her face.
"Just about to leave, it was intercepted by the rain."
Caixia pointed to the parasol on her hand: "There is only such an umbrella around me. My wife asked me to go back and ask someone to bring rain gear. Who would have thought she would run into you as soon as she went out?"
As she said that, she looked at the Yuchuan who was like a chicken falling from the ground, and said, "Come in with me first. I will bring you some clothes later, otherwise it will be a cold."
"No, no, no, don't bother sister, it's the same if I go back and change it!"
I heard that I had to change my clothes or change my clothes under Mrs. Wang's nose. Yuchuan was bitten by a snake, jumping three feet high, and wanted to rush into the rain like this.
Caixia hurriedly grabbed her and said anxiously: "Are you crazy?! She must sit down and get sick..."
"Caixia, Caixia!"
At this time, Caiyun in the temple asked loudly, "Madam asked who is outside?"
"It was Yuchuan who happened to come here to shelter from the rain."
Caixia also replied with a voice.
After a while, Caiyun heard him say, "Mrs. Let her be led in and speak."
Yuchuan's face was ashamed for a moment, but she did not dare to ignore Mrs. Wang's call. After all, although she had arrived at the Jiao family, my mother was still under the name of Rongguo Mansion.
So he had to bite his teeth and follow Caixia into the main hall.
But when Mrs. Wang saw her timid appearance, she thought she had prejudices against herself because of her sister's death, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this pitiful Caixia, you bring her a piece of clothes...
…”
"No, no!"
Yuchuan hurriedly refused and said repeatedly: "I have important things to do. I must go back and report quickly, so I won't bother Sister Caixia!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang became increasingly convinced that she was holding a grudge against herself.
But Yuchuan is now Jiao Shuntong's maid, so she couldn't say anything else, so she waved her hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, Caixia, give her the umbrella and let her go back."
"But we..."
"If we don't see you at home, we should probably find you."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was determined, Caixia had to hand the parasol to Yuchuan.
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you ma'am!"
Yuchuan was as if he had been pardoned, so he hurriedly gave a deep tribute to Mrs. Wang, took the parasol and ran away from the door.
But I didn't expect to make a mistake in my busy schedule. As soon as I rushed out of the corridor, I tripped and slapped my whole body in the mud, slid three or four feet away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered Caixia and others to help her. She also chased her to the corridor to ask how Yuchuan fell and whether she was injured.
Yuchuan was helped up, rubbing her chest with tears in tears. She was about to say something, but she found that Mrs. Wang's gaze was fixed on her chest. She subconsciously lowered her head and found that the button on the front was gone.
, Half of the collar hangs loosely, revealing...
