Yu Xi Extra Story (20)

In the early morning of the second day when Jane returned home, a woman with a sharp mouth on the street came to ask who rescued them.

Before Jane could speak, the man asked, "Is it a very kind old man with silver hair?"

Jane nodded, and then asked strangely: "Mother Awang, how did you know?" She had never mentioned this to anyone.

Awang's mother patted her thigh, and said excitedly: "I said it wouldn't be such a coincidence, as expected. Ma'er, do you know who that old man is? It's the queen mother! I didn't expect you to be so lucky , I was able to meet the old lady, the Empress Dowager."

Their family suffered such a great disaster, and this man even said that he was blessed, and Mannia and his brother glared at each other.

The neighbors of Ma's family couldn't stand it anymore: "Mother Awang, this is Dazhu's mourning hall. If you say this, you won't be afraid of having nightmares at night." Even if the Queen Mother saved the Ma family, they can only say yes Their luck can't be called a blessing.

As if Awang's mother didn't hear it, she continued: "Mother Man'er, she is the empress dowager. If you can get on with this relationship, your family will have endless glory and wealth..."

Jane was so angry that he kicked out Awang's mother.

Mannia quickly reassured her, and then comforted her: "Mother, it's not worth being angry with this kind of person. Mother, you just treat what she said as fart."

Jane said to her sons with a stern face: "To be a person, you must be down-to-earth, and you must not think about what you have. The old lady has a great kindness to our family, and you must not disturb her anymore." Even if the old lady is really the queen mother , nor is it something they can cling to. They are just ordinary people, if they dream of unrealistic dreams, they will not be able to live through this day.

The Dalang brothers nodded emphatically.

Qixuan didn't want Yuxi to be troubled, so if he didn't understand, he asked the old scribe who had retired a long time ago. But afraid of something going wrong, he watched everything in person, so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.

Dai Qisheng was arrested, and the people who had been harmed by him before all went to the county government to file a complaint.

Qixuan received the pleadings, but he didn't get promoted, he just sent someone to verify the truth of the incident.

The more you understand, the more frightened you become. Qixuan couldn't help but tell Yuxi about this matter: "Mother, I have never seen such a mad person. In recent years, more than 30 people have been ruined by King Dai Yan. In addition to robbing civilian women and killing Innocent, he still forced her into prostitution." Such a person still wants to keep incense, it's really a dream.

Yuxi asked: "Is the evidence conclusive?"

"It has been verified,

It's all true. Mother, this Dai Qisheng really deserved his death. "Such a person, a thousand cuts to death is not an exaggeration.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "Since it has been verified, a notice will be posted, and he will be beheaded for public display in three days."

"ah……"

It's no wonder that Qixuan was surprised, things like executions had to be reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and then the emperor would collude with him.

Yuxi smiled, and said: "Special circumstances, special treatment. You can do it, I have it!"

Qi Xuan came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Okay." The eldest brother has to listen to his mother, so this matter is nothing.

As soon as the notice was posted, the people rushed to celebrate. Some people even gave up firecrackers at the door of their homes.

On the day Dai Qisheng was executed, the people of Gucheng County were all mobilized. The street is full of people.

If there were no officers and soldiers to maintain order, the prison cars would not be able to reach the execution ground. But when he arrived at the execution ground, Dai Qisheng's face and body were covered with rotten eggs, feces and rotten leaves, making him extremely filthy.

Hong Lang traveled day and night, and it took half a month to reach Xiangyang.

In the past half month, all the officials involved in the case were found out by Qiyou. These officials are now in prison, waiting to be dealt with by the imperial envoy.

When Qiyou saw Hong Lang, he was very surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to handle this matter."

After saluting, Hong Lang said, "Hong Lang asked to come here on his own initiative. Where's uncle and great-grandmother?"

"Your great-grandmother is at the station, you come with me!" He hasn't been back for several days, and he doesn't know if his mother has eaten well and slept soundly these days.

Yuxi arrived in Xiangyang five days ago. As for Qixuan, it is still in Gucheng County.

Looking at Yu Xi who looked good, Hong Lang let go of his hanging heart: "Great-grandmother, I surprised you."

Yuxi smiled, and said: "How can I be surprised by such a small matter, I am not as fragile as you think. Honglang, how many people did you bring this time? Your third uncle is still in Gucheng County, send someone Go for him."

After saying a few words, Yu Xi asked Hong Lang to deal with Xiangyang's affairs.

That night, Qiyou came back and said to Yuxi, "Mother, should we go back to Beijing or continue south?"

"When Qixuan arrives in Xiangyang, we will go to Jiangxi." Although there was such a mistake, the plan remained the same. Because if you want to return to Beijing now, you will never leave Beijing again in this life.

Qixuan arrived in Xiangyang five days later. Such a long time is enough for Qiyou to hand over the matter.

"Ah, third brother, why have you lost so much weight?" The originally round face was now sunken.

Qixuan gave him a blank look: "I can't eat well for half a month and can't sleep enough, can I not lose weight?" After taking over the business of Gucheng County, he can only sleep for two hours a day. Because I was afraid of something going wrong, I didn't eat well. At such an advanced age, except for the few years in Sichuan, I have never suffered so much.

Qiyou said with a smile: "Third brother, the matter of Gucheng County will make you feel like you are facing a big enemy. If you become a minister, wouldn't you be exhausted to death?" Thinking back then, when he was minister of the Ministry of punishment, he didn't know what to do. Like Qixuan.

Qi Xuan has self-knowledge, he is not material to be an official at all. The matter in Gucheng County is also to drive the ducks into battle. If Yuxi doesn't speak, he doesn't care about it.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Go down and have a good rest, we will leave for Jiangxi tomorrow."

Qi Xuan hesitated.

Seeing his appearance, Qiyou smiled and asked, "What's the matter, third brother, don't you want to go to Jiangxi?"

"Let's bring more people!" The incident in Gucheng County not only frightened Qi Xuan, but also exhausted him. I don't want to do this again.

Qiyou said: "Gucheng County is a special case after all. There are not so many people in this world who are as bold and risky as Dai Yanwang." Xiangyang Prefecture and the nine counties under its jurisdiction, although there are also cases of corruption and bribery, but there is no Gucheng County. The city and county are so shocking.

Qixuan was worried: "What if?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "If your father sees you like this, I'm afraid he will beat you up." She was frightened by such a small matter, and with Yunqing's temper, even if she didn't beat Qixuan, she still had to scold him A dog's head is bleeding.

Speaking of which, Liu'er and Qixuan, the six children, have been going smoothly these years without any incidents.

Qi Xuan's face froze.

Qiyou deliberately said: "Third brother, if you are worried, then go back to Beijing, and I will accompany my mother to Jiangxi." If every place is like Gucheng County, the world will not be able to change the surname. Damn, how can I be in the mood to travel around.

How dare Qixuan leave Yuxi and run back to the capital alone. Don't talk about Qi Hao at that time, I'm afraid Zao Zao will not be able to spare him.

Hearing that Yu Xi was going to Jiangxi, Hong Lang said: "Great-grandmother, it's going to be winter soon, you should go back to Beijing!"

Yuxi said with a smile: "I won't be going back to Beijing this winter, just to enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter in the south of the Yangtze River." In winter in the capital, there is nothing to see in the vast expanse of whiteness. On the contrary, Jiangnan is said to be picturesque in winter.

Hong Lang was a little worried: "Grandmother, Jiangnan is not as cold as the capital, it's very cold there." He was worried about Yuxi's body and couldn't stand the cold of Jiangnan.

Qiyou smiled and said: "Don't worry about that, I will take your great-grandmother to live in the hot spring village in the deep winter." There are also many hot spring villages in the south.

Hong Lang didn't say any more.

Yu Xi said earnestly: "Honglang, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. In the future, you will be an emperor, so you should keep this in mind."

Qiyou muttered to himself, only Yuxi dared to say this.

Hong Lang nodded and said, "Great-grandmother, don't worry, I will put the people first."

Two days later, Hong Lang sent the two brothers Yuxi and Qixuan out of the city gate. He didn't return to the city with his entourage until the carriage disappeared and was never seen again.

From Xiangyang to Changzhou, Jiangxi, the whole journey was peaceful and nothing happened.

When she arrived in Changzhou, Yuxi went to Changzhou Women's School, and left her calligraphy in the women's school.

Back home, Qiyou smiled and said to her: "Mother, boy Lan brought us some crabs. Mother, let's eat crabs tonight!" The prefect of Changzhou is Lan Yanghui's youngest son, and Qiyou watched grew up.

First of all, Lan Yanghui and Qi Xuan are the best friends. But because they share the same goals with Qiyou (both are foodies) and are officials in the court, the two get very close.

In the evening, the chef made steamed hairy crabs, spicy crabs, crab meat stew, crab roe tofu, and stir-fried beans and lettuce.

Yu Xi frowned, and said to Qi You who was about to move: "Crabs are cold, take it easy, don't eat too much."

"Mother, don't worry! I know it well." After giving Yuxi the biggest one of the steamed crabs, Qiyou started to eat.

October is the fattest season for crabs. The crabs sent by Lan Zhifu are still the best.

Bingmei cut off the eight heels and two tongs of the hairy crab, covered the crab, and then served it to Yuxi.

Yuxi took a small spoon, scooped out the crab stomach in the middle, and then scooped up the crab roe to eat.

At this time, Qiyou had already eaten half a crab: "Mother, this crab meat is very tender and delicious. It is much more delicious than what we ate in the capital."

Yu Xi took a bite, nodded and said: "It's not bad." Maybe it's because it's fresh, so the taste is so good!

Yuxi ate half a steamed hairy crab and a little spicy crab, and then she didn't move her chopsticks again. And Qiyou not only ate two steamed crabs, but also spicy crabs, crab meat stew and crab roe tofu. If Yuxi hadn't stopped him, he would have to eat again.

Qiyou still didn't want to finish, and said: "Continue to eat tomorrow." It happened to be the season to eat crabs, and I would feel sorry for myself if I didn't eat enough.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. That night, Qiyou started to have abdominal pain not long after lying on the bed.

The imperial doctor made a diagnosis and said it was caused by improper diet. Needless to say, it must be the reason for eating too many crabs.

After taking a pair of painkillers, Qiyou fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuxi looked at the listless Qiyou and said: "It is said that crabs are cold in nature and should not be eaten more, but you just don't listen. Now you know that I didn't scare you? If this matter makes Pugeer and his brothers I know, where should I put your face?"

Qiyou said pitifully: "I used to eat ten crabs in one go and nothing happened!" I only ate four crabs last night, which is not too much!

"Don't even think about it. How old are you now? How can a person in his sixties be compared to when he was in his 20s or 30s?" Seeing Qiyou like this, Yuxi couldn't help thinking of Yunqing again: "Your father is like this , you are the same way, always thinking that you are still young. One by one, it is not worrying."

Knowing that he was wrong, Qiyou didn't dare to say anything.

Yuxi said: "You stay at home to rest, Qixuan and I went to visit Poyang Lake."

Qiyou said with a sad face: "Mother, do you have the heart to leave me and go out to play alone?"

"It's not that I want to leave you, you asked for it. But don't worry, we'll go to Lushan Mountain after you recover. At that time, we will live on Lushan Mountain for a few days." Lushan Mountain is mainly close to Changzhou, and other scenic spots too far. Yuxi planned to spend the winter in Jinling, so she had to leave after going to Mount Lu.

Yuxi has also seen many lakes, and each lake has its own characteristics.

Looking at the egrets flying over the lake, Yu Xi said, "I've brought the fishing rod, I want to fish."

While fishing, Yuxi and Qixuan said: "Your father is not only a stinky chess player, but his fishing skills are also unprecedented." It is difficult for him to catch fish that are kept in the pond. Forget about the fish in the river and lake.

Qi Xuan said: "I think, maybe Dad's murderous intent is too strong, and those fish were scared away."

"What you said is not unreasonable." Yunqing is not only unable to catch fish, those small animals such as cats, dogs and rabbits dare not get close to him.

Just as she was talking, she saw the fish floating, and Yuxi quickly picked up the fishing rod.

Taking the fish off the hook, Bingmei said happily, "Master, it's shad, weighing half a catty."

Yuxi was very lucky this day, and caught more than ten fish, the heaviest fish was more than two catties, and the smallest one was as big as a finger. At noon, the mother and son had a whole fish feast.

Looking at the five fish in the barrel, Yu Xi smiled and said, "Go back and make fish balls and fish soup for Ah You, I believe he will like it."

Thinking of Qiyou's loveless appearance when he went out, Qixuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After receiving Yuxi's letter, Qihao couldn't help rubbing his temples.

It so happened that Zao Zao asked about it that day: "Ah Hao, it's the end of October now, where is mother now?"

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Mother said she won't be returning to Beijing this year, and she will spend the New Year in Jiangnan."

"The climate of the two places is so different, can my mother's body bear it?" People in their eighties are not as strong as before.

After finishing speaking, Zao Zao said a little annoyed: "Qi Xuan and Qi You didn't even persuade me, and I don't know why they followed?"

Qihao said something fair: "You don't know about Mother's temperament, let alone Qixuan and Qiyou, even I can't persuade you."

Zao Zao frowned and said: "If I knew it earlier, I should have stopped my mother from leaving Beijing that day." What happened in Xiangyang made her sweat all over.

Qihao changed the subject: "How is brother-in-law now? Is he better?" Wu Jinyu began to get sick years ago, and has not recovered until now.

Zao Zao showed a worried expression: "It's still the same, and I can't live without medicine every day." If it wasn't for Wu Jinyu's poor health, she would have gone to the south of the Yangtze River to find Yuxi.
