Qiyou Episode (Sixty-Seven)
The fallen tree has many termites in its heart. The whole big tree looks intact on the outside, but in fact the trunk has been hollowed out.
After checking, Qiyou said to Yuxi: "Mother, this incident should be an accident."
Yuxi believed in Qiyou's judgment, but she ordered to check all the big trees in the palace. Hong Lang was young and quick-witted when he discovered that something was wrong with the big tree, so he could avoid it in time. She and Yun Qing are old hands and legs, so such an accident can't be avoided.
When Qi Hao heard this, he couldn't disagree.
As soon as the matter of Dashu came to an end, Hong Lang and Po Geer were assassinated again while they were out shopping. Hong Lang was fine, but Ge Er was injured by the assassin. Because the assassin's sword was coated with poison, Pergole fell into a coma. Fortunately, Yu Sheng was carrying a detoxification pill that could detoxify all kinds of poisons, and he gave it to Pogeer in time. So although Pogoer suffered a lot, his life was not hindered.
But because of this incident, a rumor suddenly emerged that Hong Lang was a disaster star, and everyone who followed him would be unlucky.
As if to prove this, Xu Jiaping, one of Honglang's four accompanying readers, fell off his horse and broke his right leg. After the imperial physician diagnosed, he was likely to become disabled.
First, Fu Er was injured, and then Brother Po and Xu Jiaping had an accident. After all, Hong Lang is still young, and there are not many things, so hearing this rumor can't help being affected.
Yu Xi looked at Hong Lang who looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, patted his head and asked, "Do you really think that you have implicated Brother Pu and Xu Jiaping?"
Hong Lang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Great-grandmother, Fifth Brother and Brother Jiaping are both my troubles. If it weren't for me, Fifth Brother wouldn't be injured, and Brother Jiaping wouldn't have fallen off the horse."
Yuxi smiled and said: "I thought you also thought you were a disaster star!"
"Hong Lang is the luckiest person to be taught by your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Great-grandmother, because I have implicated five and Brother Jiaping. But I can't do anything for them."
This answer made Yuxi very satisfied. If Honglang really thinks that she is a bastard, then all her hard work these years will be in vain: "Being your companion, you must be prepared to deal with all kinds of accidents. As for Pu Geer, if he could If you practice well, you won’t get hurt.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Xi touched Hong Lang's head, and said softly: "Lang'er, this is just the beginning. In the future, your situation will be even more difficult."
Hong Lang shook his head and said, "Great-grandmother, I'm not afraid. No matter how difficult it is, it's not as difficult as you and great-grandmother." He has so many people to protect him, as long as he acts cautiously, the other party can't help him.
Hearing this, Yuxi laughed loudly: "Okay, it's not in vain that your great-grandmother taught you all these years."
Qiyou just came over and heard Yuxi's laughter. He rarely saw Yuxi so happy, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, what is so happy?"
"It's nothing. Why, Yamen is all right again?"
Speaking of this, Qiyou was very depressed: "I told my elder brother to let Guan Xi take over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, but he didn't agree. I'm so old and I'm not allowed to be an official. This is to let me do it until Die?" For this, Brother Yu was very resentful.
Yuxi smiled, and changed the subject: "How is Brother Po? Is it almost okay?"
Qiyou nodded and said, "It's okay, but the imperial doctor said that it needs to be raised for a while. Speaking of which, it's also fortunate that Yu Sheng has a detoxification pill on him."
Hearing this, Yu Xi smiled and said: "Yu Sheng not only has detoxification pills, but also good medicine for wound healing." With Ruonan as a sister who is an expert in medicine, Yu Sheng carried a lot of good things with him.
The two were talking when Qi Hao came over.
Yu Xi asked Qi Hao in front of Hong Lang: "Do you know the rumors outside?" She was asking knowingly, but she actually wanted to know Qi Hao's attitude.
Qihao nodded and said, "I've sent someone to investigate. Those who spread rumors will be caught and severely punished."
Hong Lang's expression relaxed a lot. He knew that these people deliberately hurt him, but he was also afraid that Qihao would believe it.
Hearing this, Yuxi nodded her head, and then said with some emotion: "What happened to Honglang, I couldn't help but think of the life that Monk Liao Tong gave me."
Monk Liaotong gave Yuxi a bad fate, and all six siblings knew about it.
Qiyou directly swears: "Mother, he's just farting. Look at how many people in the world are as lucky as mother."
Yuxi smiled and said: "But if I believed what he said at the time, I would feel sorry for myself, and I would definitely have a hard life in this life."
After finishing speaking, Yu Xi looked at Hong Lang and said, "Lang'er, don't believe in such words as life is hard and life is bad. You always feel sorry for yourself, and you feel bitter when soaked in a honey pot. But if you maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, even in adversity Can live happily."
Hong Lang nodded and said, "Great-grandmother, I understand."
Qi Hao said to Hong Lang, "Lang'er, let's practice!" Hong Lang still practices half of the time every day. At first Qihao didn't quite agree with it, but he couldn't beat Yuxi. But after the assassination incident, Qihao has no objection anymore, and he can learn the way of governing the country slowly. But learning martial arts to protect oneself is the most important thing.
Qiyou said cheerfully: "Mother, can I send Brother Po and Brother Pong to teach you?"
"You want to exhaust me, so send the two children here." When she was old and her energy was low, she had to ask Zao Zao to help teach Hong Lang alone. Two more, she must be killed.
Qiyou also said that he really sent his two grandchildren here.
Qi Hao said: "Mother, I've made you suffer." Even he had to admit that Hong Lang was taught very well, this child is sensible, filial, courteous, and friendly to his brothers.
"Raising a child at the age of one hundred will cause ninety-nine worries. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have to suffer this at such an advanced age."
Qi Hao was a little ashamed: "Mother, when Hong Lang turns ten years old, I will designate him as grandson."
Yu Xi smiled and said: "You can decide on this matter." It is also a good thing for Hong Lang to have his title settled earlier. Because of this, he has more resources available to him.
In mid-November, Hong Bin came back. Not only did he come back by himself, he also brought back a girl.
Qiyou told Yuxi about this, and said with a headache after finishing speaking: "Mother, Hong Bin told me that he wanted to marry that girl."
Before, Yu Xi had sworn that Hong Bin would not be so disrespectful, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.
Yuxi said: "Marriage is a major matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Who is Hong Bin going to marry as his wife, what do you tell me?"
Qiyou said: "Hong Bin said he would not marry that girl, but his mother disagreed. This child, please come to me."
"You won't agree, will you?"
Qiyou looked at Yuxi's expression, sighed and said: "Mother, this child has been sensible since he was a child, if he didn't like her very much, she wouldn't come to beg me."
Seeing that Yuxi didn't speak, Qiyou said: "Mother, I've met that girl too, and I can see that girl really likes Hong Bin. Mother, let Hong Bin marry a noble girl from a famous family. If that noble girl despises Hong Bin If Bin is missing an arm, he might as well not marry."
Yuxi smiled lightly and said, "Don't tell me this, you go tell Shushen. As long as she agrees, your father and I will not object."
What Qiyou meant was that he hoped that Yuxi would come forward and talk to Zhou Shushen.
Yu Xi scolded with a smile: "Ah You, you are going back as you live. I came forward and said that Shushen would nod even if she was unhappy in her heart. Do you think that girl will have a good life when she enters the house under such circumstances?"
Qiyou really didn't think too much about it.
Yu Xi shook her head helplessly and said: "You men always think things too simply. Tell Hong Bin that if he really likes that girl and wants to spend the rest of his life with her, he should try his best to explain her to her." She stepped forward To put it bluntly, it was tantamount to forcing Zhou Shushen to accept this daughter-in-law. Zhou Shushen's anger is not going well, the girl must have a bad life when she comes in. Don't talk about trying to torture the daughter-in-law, just letting the girl settle down every morning and evening is enough for her.
Qiyou smiled and said, "Okay."
Hong Bin continued to torment Zhou Shushen, telling her that the girl helped him overcome his psychological barriers and live like a normal person. He also said that the girl was very simple and was willing to marry him even though she thought he was an orphan and penniless.
After rambling on a lot of good things about that girl, Hong Bin finally said, "Mother, I'm afraid I'll miss her, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
The more Zhou Shushen listened, the more irritable she became, and finally drove Hong Bin out: "You get out, I don't want to see you now."
That night, Zhou Shushen lay on the bed and rolled over and over, unable to fall asleep.
"Lu Zhu, do you think that if I don't let Hong Bin marry this girl, will he hate me forever?" Zhou Shushen could tell that Hong Bin really liked that girl. If she beat the mandarin ducks with sticks, she was afraid that her son would blame her.
In fact, Zhou Shushen really loves Hong Bin, otherwise she would not hesitate.
Lu Zhu didn't know how to answer, so she thought for a while and said, "Master, why don't you ask the Queen Mother for her opinion."
On the second day, after Zhou Shushen went to the palace to take care of the palace affairs, she went to talk to Yuxi about it.
Yu Xi didn't give a positive answer, but just asked: "Why don't you agree?"
Zhou Shushen said: "That girl's family background is too low, she is too unsuitable for Hong Bin."
Hearing this, Yuxi smiled and said: "As long as the person is good, the family background is almost fine."
After finishing speaking, Yu Xi added another sentence: "Shushen, the ancestors of the Yun family also farmed." Yun Qing's great-grandfather was a farmer.
Zhou Shushen said: "Grandmother, I don't necessarily mean that you have to be born in a famous family. But this girl's background is too low, and her knowledge and living habits are very different from ours." Simply put, she thinks the living environment of this girl and the others.
Yuxi understood Zhou Shushen's concerns: "It's easy, you send three people to this girl, one to teach her to read and write, one to teach her manners, and the other to teach her to be the director of the house and socialize."
Zhou Shushen was taken aback by the words.
Yuxi said: "Give her two years, if you can get the affirmation of these three people, you will agree to their marriage."
Zhou Shushen was a little moved, but she also had concerns: "If she can't pass the test, Hong Bin will still marry her at that time, what should I do then?"
Yu Xi said lightly: "If she can't pass the test, it means that she and Hong Bin are not suitable. If Hong Bin insists on marrying this girl, it will harm her."
Zhou Shushen nodded and said, "I listen to the emperor's grandmother."
