"You risked your life to save the emperor." She said, "This is nothing."
Mrs. Ningsi was sitting cross-legged on the kang. Although she was not fanning, she was holding a handkerchief.
“It’s a random fabrication full of loopholes,” she said. “It’s really ridiculous.”
Mrs. Ning, who was sitting on the other side of the kang table, still had a calm look on her face, but her eyebrows were even more loving.
"But it is because of karma that the Buddha helps kindhearted people." She said.
"Sister-in-law." Madam Ning San shouted dissatisfied, "How can there be any kind-hearted people who are absolutely kind-hearted? They are kind to the emperor, but they are not kind to us. Look at what they do."
"The only way to kill people and search the city is to set fire to them." Mrs. Ning Si added, "Is the emperor's imperial edict just for them to be so arrogant?"
"Isn't it to find someone?" Mrs. Ning said softly, "If the child at home is lost, the adults will inevitably be anxious."
"Yes, it's just a fifteen-year-old child who stays out at night." Mrs. Ning Si emphasized that she was fifteen years old, "it can cause trouble all over the city, like wolves and tigers, searching the city and breaking into homes."
"Did the eldest brother tell the second brother about these things? The emperor must be informed of the Fang family's actions," Mrs. Ning San said.
When they were talking about this, Mr. Ning came in, followed by Ning Yunyan.
After not going out for several months, she was doing needlework in the yard and learning to manage the housework. She looked much mellower.
He also looked a bit ruthless, dull and boring.
After entering the door, he saluted his mother and two aunts and stood aside without saying a word.
"How can I let my second brother talk about this matter?" Mr. Ning frowned and said, "There is no need for my second brother to talk about this kind of thing. The Taiyuan Prefecture will report it to the Jinyi Guards."
"It's been so long, how come there's no movement at all?" Mrs. Ning Si said, "Why are the royal guards so obedient like cats this time?"
"Of course His Majesty the Emperor will not allow any movement." Mr. Ning said, "It goes without saying."
Of course, it goes without saying that the women of the Ning family were not stupid enough to guess, but after confirming this fact, they were still very angry.
"It's really unreasonable." Mrs. Ning San said, shaking her fan angrily.
"You don't have to laugh at the ridiculous fabrication of the Fang family's story," Mr. Ning said, sitting down on the chair.
Ning Yunyan immediately poured tea and brought it over.
Master Ning took it and took a sip.
"This story is for the common people to listen to. It naturally suits their taste. It is weird and bizarre." He said, looking at Mrs. Ning, "The cycle of cause and effect, good deeds are rewarded, there are gods, Buddhas and emperors, there are thrills and dangers are turned into safety.
If you don't get what you ask for, there will be unexpected rewards. Only if the twists and turns are bizarre can it attract people, so that the story can be spread. As for the loopholes and absurdity, the people don't care."
"Then the officials don't care?" Mrs. Ning San said.
Mr. Ning smiled.
"Of course the official has no control over it," he said. "They only need to care about whether the edict is true. As for how the edict came about, they can ask and discuss it in private. Can they still raise questions? That was during the time of the late emperor.
matter."
He took another sip of tea.
"Your Majesty is a filial son." He said meaningfully.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, he was ordered to do so in a critical situation, and it was very controversial. It is said that he was forced to agree because of his filial piety to the late emperor, otherwise he would have committed suicide to express his ambition.
Since the Fang family said this was an imperial edict given by the late emperor, how could the emperor question it.
Besides, it has been verified that it is indeed the handwriting and jade seal of the late emperor, and the creation is recorded in the book.
Mrs. Ning San and Mrs. Ning Si looked at each other, a little unfair and helpless.
"Then no one in the Fang family can be offended," they said.
"Whether they can be offended or not does not depend on others, but on themselves." Mr. Ning twisted his beard and said, "Those who do unrighteousness will be punished by themselves."
"Why did this object appear in the boundary of Yangcheng?" Mrs. Ning San said, very angry.
The most important thing is that this object has some involvement with their Ning family.
"Ignore him. If he comes to search our home, I will open the door and let them search as much as they want." Mr. Ning said with a smile, "They can also ransack our home."
As he spoke, he burst into laughter.
"The person who holds the imperial edict is not the same as the person who wrote it. Don't lose your sense of proportion and forget your duty."
In the old stories of the previous dynasty, there were many meritorious high-ranking officials who held iron coupons with alchemy books and acted arrogantly, and some of them escaped death.
The Fang family used the imperial edict to avenge themselves, mobilize soldiers and officials, or find someone to search the city. Although it is arrogant, it is bearable, but this kind of thing can be done one by one, especially when the imperial edict is used to interfere with the officials in a ostentatious manner.
, it’s not just the common people who come out to speak and question.
Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning San, Mrs. Ning Si and others all had smiles on their faces.
"But, what if they don't want to search our home, but use an imperial edict to force us to recognize our engagement with the Jun family?" Ning Yunyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
The laughter in the room suddenly disappeared, and the four people's expressions became frozen.
In the final analysis, why they were so concerned and concerned about the imperial edict in the other party's family was not because of the dispute in the past.
The dispute was originally due to differences in status, and they should have had the upper hand.
But it happened that I suffered the loss of being dumb again and again. If I can't afford to offend, I can't afford to hide. Let's take a step back and wait and see.
As a result, before they had taken a few steps and had no long-term plan, the Fang family came up with another imperial edict.
A person who opened an invoice account was actually treated like someone who was a founding figure of the country.
This is really depressing.
Mr. Ning twirled his beard and made a sound.
"Do you think the reason why my father decided to marry the Jun family was because he knew that the Fang family had an unusual imperial edict?" He said suddenly.
Mrs. Ning slapped her hand on the table.
This action shocked the people in the room again.
Mrs. Ning rarely loses her temper and gets angry like this.
"You, how can you think of your father like this?" Mrs. Ning said angrily, "Who do you think your father is?"
It turned out to be because of this.
The atmosphere in the room relaxed, and Mr. Ning also smiled.
It was indeed disrespectful to say this to Mrs. Ning, so he coughed lightly to resolve the embarrassment.
"Yanyan, don't worry about this." He looked at Ning Yunyan and said, "The Fang family is the only one who knows about the holy purpose of the Fang family. Miss Jun didn't know about it at the time. When Miss Jun made such a fuss
, Mrs. Fang didn’t even use it to threaten and force her, let alone now.”
"Yes, Miss Jun is now the wife of the Fang family." Mrs. Ning San said, waving her fan with a look of disgust, "If the young master of the Fang family dies of illness and becomes a widow, we will take out the imperial edict and force her to remarry.
She can do shameless things in our family, but the young master of the Fang family has recovered from his illness and will not die, so why should he take out the imperial edict and cuckold himself?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Ning glared at her and said, "In front of the child."
Mrs. Ning San looked at Ning Yunyan.
"Yanyan, that's why I told you not to go out. If you get entangled with Miss Jun, you will dirty yourself." She said.
Ning Yunyan smiled and said thank you.
"I know, Auntie." She said obediently, patted her heart again, and was full of joy, "Fortunately, my brother escaped, that's all, it's impossible for such a good person to be so unlucky.
.”
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since you wrote a family letter to Yunzhao, right?" Mr. Ning said, "Write a letter asking him how he's been doing lately."
"It's not like you're a child and you still worry about it so much." Mrs. Ning smiled and looked at Ning Yunyan, "You can fix a letter for your brother."
Ning Yunyan responded yes.
Talking about the people and things that were worthy of pride in his family, the atmosphere in the room became joyful. At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a servant woman lifted the curtain and walked in with a panic look on her face.
"Madam, Madam, the Fang family's affairs have begun to be discussed again." She said urgently.
Haven't we been talking about the Fang family all the time? What's all the fuss about?
"Aren't you annoying?" Mrs. Ning Si said angrily, "My ears are getting calluses from listening to it."
"No, we won't talk about the Fang family's imperial edict this time." The servant girl said hurriedly, "but about Young Mistress Fang."
Mrs. Fang?
These words made everyone in the room look startled.
Jun Zhenzhen? What can I say about her?
…………………………………….
There was a crisp sound, and the crowded teahouse became quiet, and all eyes turned to the high platform.
The storyteller on the high platform opened the folding fan.
"Today we are talking about Fang's family affairs, and now we are talking about Linglong people."
