Chapter 214 Eccentric

The imperial court issued an imperial edict, and the task of suppressing the bandits fell on Ji Xuan. Huo Changqing got the news, called Yuxi over, and asked: "Ji Xuan suppressed the bandits, did our previous plan fail?" Huo Changqing thought that this plan failed, but he just wanted to hear Yuxi's opinion.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If Ji Xuan had the heart, there wouldn't be so many bandits in the Northwest. Ji Xuan's suppression of the bandits is just a formality. In the future, the banditry will most likely be worse than it is now." Why is the banditry in the Northwest There will be so many, the reason lies in Ji Xuan. Since Ji Xuan became the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, more than a dozen new taxes have been added. The common people couldn't survive, so they naturally wanted to become bandits.

Huo Changqing glanced at Yuxi and asked, "Why are you so familiar with government affairs?" Huo Changqing couldn't help but be surprised that Yuxi could handle taxes, government orders, and laws at her fingertips.

Yuxi said with a smile: "There are all in the Duke's Mansion. I borrow them to see them if I have nothing to do on weekdays. If my elder brother discusses matters with his staff, I will also listen in. After a long time, I will know something."

Huo Changqing was a little strange, wondering why Han Jianming asked Yuxi to listen to the affairs of the court. It's just that Huo Changqing didn't ask this question. Because it doesn't make sense to ask.

Yuxi said: "Uncle Huo, we must train a group of people and release them as soon as possible. It's all right now, but if the news is delayed in the future, it may cause incalculable losses."

Huo Changqing pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, at the end of the year, He Rui had sent out a group of people. Most of these people were scouts from the former military camp." Scouts are people who scout out the enemy. These people are the most suitable places to inquire about news. This is why Huo Changqing must agree with Yunqing.

Yu Xi was very surprised and said, "Why didn't I know about this?" Yun Qing never told her about such a big matter.

Huo Changqing smiled and said: "At that time you were still recuperating, Yunqing didn't want you to be tired, and I'm afraid I forgot later." After a pause, Huo Changqing said: "I think it can be divided into two parts. One is controlled by Yunqing himself, and the other is It's under your control, so it's not easy to make mistakes."

Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes."

Huo Changqing nodded, and said: "I've already chosen the people, and I'll take them to Huaishuzhuang in two days. If there's anything going on in the future, send someone to send a letter to Huaishuzhuang!" In fact, Huo Changqing It's a pity that Zao Zao can't follow.

After finishing speaking, Yuxi returned to the backyard, and before she could start to act, she heard the grandma of the Zhao family coming. Yuxi asked: "What's the matter with Grandma Zhao?"

Zijin said, "It seems to be in a hurry."

Seeing Grandma Zhao, Yuxi realized that it was Tu's dystocia. Yuxi was startled, and asked: "Sister Tu's due date is May, why are you giving birth now?"

Grandma Zhao said with a wry smile: "My brother and sister accidentally slipped and fell to the ground." It's been nine months, and this fall could mean premature birth.

With a suspicious look on Yuxi's face, she asked, "How can you slip so well?" Seeing Grandma Zhao's embarrassed face, but not speaking directly, she was even more puzzled.

Grandma Zhao came here this time to ask for something: "I heard that Mama Lan is good at delivering babies, so I would like to ask Mama Lan to help me."

If it was someone else, Yuxi would still think about it, but Tu Qingmei had such a good relationship with her, she couldn't just sit idly by, and immediately asked Mother Lan to go to Zhao's house with Grandma Zhao. And Yuxi originally wanted to go and have a look, but seeing Grandma Zhao's unwilling face, she gave up the idea.

Yuxi called Zijin and said, "Go and find out, how did the Zhao family's second grandma give birth prematurely?" The Tu family attached great importance to this baby, even if there was a Wen Po who said that the child would be a girl, she still attached great importance to it. Therefore, there must be something inside the premature birth plus dystocia this time, but I don't know if Grandma Zhao has intervened in it.

In the evening, Yuxi knew the reason why Tu Qingmei gave birth prematurely. Yuxi really thought too much, this matter has nothing to do with Grandma Zhao, it was caused by Tu Qingmei's natal family. Tu Qingmei's eldest brother beat someone after drinking, and disabled him.

The other party didn't want money, they just wanted justice, so they sued him directly to the Yamen.

Tan Tuo received the pleading paper, and after verifying the matter, he put Tu Qingmei's elder brother in prison. The Tan family wanted to fish him out, but Tan Tuo didn't agree, only saying that he would follow the law.

Tu Qingmei's sister-in-law didn't know where she knew that Tan Tuo was a member of the Duke's mansion, and her sister-in-law Tu Qingmei was as close as sisters to the Han family's aunt, so she wanted Tu Qingmei to beg Yuxi to release him .

Tu Qingmei didn't agree, and as a result, the aunt and sister-in-law had an argument, and for some reason, Tu Qingmei slipped and fell to the ground. It can only be said that this incident was really an accident, not a conspiracy.

Yu Xi was very surprised when she heard this, and said: "Sister Tu is nine months old, and her natal sister-in-law still wants her to intercede with me?" Things are also hidden. This sister-in-law of the Tu family is lucky, she doesn't care about her pregnant sister-in-law at all, instead she can quarrel with her sister-in-law, I really don't know what to say.

Zijin said: "Tu Qingmei's natal sister-in-law, Hua Shi, is a girl from a bamboo strip craftsman's family. She has been aggressive since she was a child. When the two families got married, the child was still young, and the Tu family had not yet made a fortune. After the Tu family became prosperous, Master Tu I felt that I couldn’t break my promise, so I let my son marry Hua. It’s just that Hua’s mentality hasn’t changed after she became an official mistress, and she still behaves in the countryside. For this reason, there have been many jokes in Xinping City.”

Yuxi asked: "What kind of person is sister Tu's eldest brother?" Hearing that, he felt that he was not a person to be used, otherwise he would not hurt others after drinking.

Zijin said: "I don't have any skills, but it's not a problem. The only hobby is drinking, but the capacity for alcohol is not good, and the quality of the wine is also poor." People who go crazy when drunk, where did the wine come from? Like the master, when he was drunk, he just lay on the bed and slept without saying a word of nonsense.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I remember Sister Tu's second brother, he seems to be in the army?" Master Tu was the capital of the fourth rank before, and his old injury recurred last year, and he has been recuperating at home.

Zijin nodded and said: "The second master of the Tu family was very brave in battle, and now he is a member of the fifth rank, and he is married to a lady from an official family. Because of the huge disparity in status, there are many conflicts."

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "Every family has a hard-to-recite scripture." On weekdays, when interacting with Tu Shi, Tu Shi seldom talked about her natal family.

Zijin said: "Ma'am, the person who was beaten by Uncle Tu is the son of the eldest wife and aunt of the Zhao family. That family is also one of the richest in Xinping City, and there is only one son. I won’t let it go.” If it was an ordinary person who was beaten, he might lose money and apologize. But the family only has such a son, so this breath will definitely not be swallowed.

Yuxi glanced at Zijin and said, "How can I intervene in local affairs?" If the unjust, false and wrongly decided case is like that of Mr. Chen, she will help. Let Tan Tuo handle this kind of matter! It is estimated that Tu Qingmei also knows her principles, so she refuses to intercede!

Although Yuxi does not intend to help in this matter, she still hopes that Tu Qingmei can get through this difficulty.

In the middle of the night, Mother Lan came back. Mother Lan said: "Ma'am, luckily, Second Grandma Zhao's mother and daughter are safe." It's also because Mrs. Tu has a good relationship with his wife, otherwise she would not pick up the hot potato.

Yuxi hurriedly asked: "There is nothing serious about your body!" Dystocia can easily cause future troubles. Many women cannot reproduce because of dystocia.

Mother Lan shook her head and said, "No, Second Grandma Zhao will fall asleep after the baby is born. As long as the confinement child is seated properly, there will be no problem."

Only then did Yu Xi really breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Tu Qingmei gave birth to a girl, the Zhao family still attached great importance to her. During the third wash, the Zhao family invited many people, and it was very lively.

When Yuxi saw Tu Qingmei, her complexion was not bad, and she said: "I heard that you had a difficult labor two days ago, but I was frightened."

Tu Qingmei thanked her and said, "I've already heard from my mother-in-law that it was thanks to Mother Lan. If it weren't for her superb skills, I might not be able to pass this hell."

Yuxi smiled and said: "What are you talking about? It's because you are blessed and fateful. I have already asked Mother Lan, and she said that your body is fine, and you will not suffer from the root cause of the disease after confinement. Son, if you adjust your body again, you will be able to have another child." Yuxi almost said that her body is fine, she can regenerate, and it doesn't matter if she has a daughter.

Tu Qingmei said with a smile: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's all the flesh that fell from my body, and I feel the same pain."

Seeing Tu Qingmei's attitude, Yuxi nodded and said: "It's good if you can think like this, if a mother doesn't hurt, who else would feel distressed." Yuxi would say something because she heard that Chen's love The youngest daughter hated it to the extreme. The child was thrown to the wet nurse after birth, and she didn't even want to look at it on weekdays. This kind of behavior disgusted Yuxi very much.

Tu Qingmei smiled and said: "My mother-in-law loves Jingyao very much. She was afraid that I would not be able to take care of the two children, so she took Ziyao over." Her mother-in-law knows a lot of things, and her daughter is with her mother-in-law, only benefit is not Harmful.

Yuxi couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Zhao, what a good mother-in-law." In fact, Yuxi thinks that people like Mrs. Zhao are smart!

Tu Qingmei agrees with this point very much: "If my mother can be like my mother-in-law, she can serve a bowl of water, that would be great." Mrs. Zhao treats her two sons as a bowl of water. For the two daughters-in-law, although they rely heavily on Mrs. Ping, it is also because Mrs. Ping is the eldest daughter-in-law. But Mrs. Tu is different. Mrs. Tu is partial to the eldest son. She thinks that the eldest son should take care of him if he has no talent, while the younger brother should be humble if he has talent. In this way, not only the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense, but even the relationship between brothers is not good. Tu Qingmei tried to persuade her countless times, but unfortunately it didn't work.

It's not easy for Yuxi to answer these words.

ps: I have a low fever and feel dizzy. The weather has been repeated during this period, everyone must pay more attention to the body, don't be like me, ~~~~(>_<)~~~~R8
