Chapter 1158: a big play
Chapter 1158 A big drama
The Peach Blossom Banquet in Jiang Mansion was held from the beginning to the middle of the moon, and the guests and hosts were very happy.
After sending away the last guest, Mrs. Bai, his mentor, Jiang Liu wanted to fall on Shu Qiu, but she had to hold on, because she knew that Shu Qiu was more tired than her.
There are few servants in the Jiang family. Today, one of them serves as three. The wives and maids in the West Courtyard have one as five. After the banquet, Jiang Liu felt for the first time that there were too few servants at home.
Returning to the West Courtyard, Jiang Liu was so impressed when he saw that his mother and sister were still energetically ordering people to clean up the mess. She climbed to the study and lay still on the beautiful couch by the window.
Not long after, Xiaoyue'er, who had coaxed her brother to sleep, also climbed in and lay down on his special reclining chair. Without Xiao Yue'er's instructions, his personal servant immediately stepped forward to knead his arms and legs, while the maid Que'er carried Xiao Yue'er's favorite pastries and fed them piece by piece.
Take a look at the sixth brother of the servant and call maid, and then look at himself, who is only in shape, Jiang Liu is speechless, why don't you call in one of the three maids who are helping outside?
Xiaoyue'er heard Sixth Sister sigh, turned her head and glanced at her little maid Que'er. Que'er immediately turned to Jiang Liu's side, and said crisply, "Girl is exhausted today, but she feels hungry, do you want to eat two bites of cakes?"
"Okay." As soon as Jiang Liu raised his hand, Que'er brought the cake to her mouth. After eating the cake, Que'er handed over a small copper pot with a slender curved mouth and gave her a sip of water.
Jiang Liu moved his mouth in confusion, and then he was half full. After Yazheng entered the room, Xiaoyueer, who was too lazy to grow hair, got up and said, "Mother, sit here."
"Yue'er coaxed Qilang to sleep?"
Yazheng was also exhausted this day. After sitting down, she raised her hand to beat her leg when Yueer's little fist had already arrived. Ya Zheng smiled and touched his little head.
After Jiang Muyan came in, Jiang Liu did the same and asked her sister to sit down. After she beat her legs, she kneaded her shoulders. Seeing this, Xiaoyue'er also dragged the chair behind her mother and kneaded her shoulders while standing on the chair.
The five-year-old's little hands have no strength, but Yazheng felt the fatigue all over his body swept away, "Yue'er pinched well, mother is good."
Ya was holding her son's little hand and kneading it. Jiang Muyan also let her sister sit next to her and kneaded her tired legs. After letting the maids withdraw, Jiang Muyan asked, "What did the second princess ask you to say?"
Today, there are many guests in the Jiang family. The mother and daughter have a clear division of labor, and they have no time to take care of each other.
Jiang Liu smiled and said, "What else can there be, nothing more than complaining and wanting us to help her."
Jiang Muyan said speechlessly, "This... she is really sick and goes to the doctor. She is a princess, how can we help her."
Xiaoyue'er nodded seriously.
"Yan'er is right, we can't fight her, we can avoid it if we can." The Qin family has collapsed and Qin Xuejuan has been demoted to the cold palace. years. Ya Zheng rubbed his son's head and asked him to rest first, before lowering his voice and saying to his two daughters, "The last palace banquet was the idea that Concubine De gave to the second princess."
Concubine De is the second prince's mother-in-law. She gave Chai Huizhen an idea and asked her to help the eldest prince and Jiang Liu match up and please the eldest prince. The abacus was quite loud. If the eldest prince takes his true color and makes his mind faint, he will definitely be rejected by Long Live, courtiers, and the common people, and the opportunity for the second prince will come.
Jiang Liu was speechless. Knowing son Mo Ruomu, why didn't Concubine De think about it, with the reckless nature of the second prince, even if the eldest prince was rejected by Long Live, it would not be the second prince's turn to be honored.
Jiang Muyan immediately became serious, "Mrs. Jing Anbo has a lot of spontaneity in her words today, so that's why. We will pay attention to the people from Pingfan Hou's Mansion, Jing'an's Mansion and Gongxuan Hou's Mansion, and Liu'er sent a few people to watch. their movements."
Pingfan Marquis is the father of Concubine De, Jiang Liu knew that Jing'anbo Mansion was on good terms with Pingfan Marquis Mansion, but, "Gongxuan Marquis Mansion is also related to Pingfan Marquis Mansion?"
Jiang Muyan nodded, "Mrs. Gongxuan and the second lady of Pingfan's mansion have frequent contacts, and the two families have plans to marry."
Understood! Jiang Liu nodded, "I'll keep people watching."
Before the three of them finished chatting, Erye Jiang returned to the house. After his father changed his clothes and came to the study, Jiang Liu asked, "Dad, can the steward of the Marquis of Qing'an make a confession?"
Jiang Erye nodded, "Only Liao Gang was recruited, and the case is over."
The steward recruited Liao Gang, indicating that the Marquis of Qing'an and Liao Yu did not intend to protect him. Jiang Muyan asked softly, "Dad, how will Liao Gang be punished?"
"He has no official position, so he should be demoted to a commoner and exiled for thousands of miles." Seeing the dignified expression on the eldest daughter's face, Jiang Erye thought she felt the sentence was too severe, and explained, "Even if he is exiled for thousands of miles, as long as the Marquis of Qing'an is in exile. Even if he doesn't fall down with Liao Yu for a day, he can still eat and drink spicy food."
"My daughter understands that she thinks it's cheap for him." Jiang Muyan bit her lip, "Cousin Chunling blamed herself for her father's death, and has been in a trance for several days."
Liao Chunling felt that if it wasn't for the words she told her father, her father would not have left Beijing in a hurry. If his father did not leave Beijing in a hurry, he would not have been killed. She fell into such an emotion and couldn't pull it out, and it was useless for anyone to persuade her.
Jiang Erye asked to understand the situation of his niece, and said, "I've been too busy these days. When I leave the office tomorrow, I will persuade her for my father."
Jiang Muyan hurriedly said, "Tomorrow morning, my father has to get up early, and he must be exhausted when going to the office. Will my daughter accompany you the day after tomorrow?"
Yazheng and Jiang Liu also persuaded Erye Jiang to go again the day after. Erye Jiang was persuaded by others, so he changed his mind.
Jiang Liu reminded his father, "Father, tomorrow morning, maybe someone will use Liao Qingmo's two magistrates to impeach you and the uncle. Does father have a way to deal with it?"
Jiang Erye picked up the corner of his lips and smiled, "Elder Zhang Ge has already mentioned it to my father. You can rest assured that nothing will happen. Because Liao Qingmo's second magistrate, even if we have our strength to run for him, strictly speaking, The seat of Taikang magistrate was appointed by Qin Tianye."
Jiang Muyan blinked her phoenix eyes full of incomprehension, and Yazheng also had doubts on her face. Only Jiang Liu smiled clearly, "Qin Tianye favored Liao Qingmo because Liao Qingmo was incapable of being afraid of things, so he could just get by. Having such a lazy government magistrate in power would help the Qin family hide their private soldiers in Siguniang Mountain."
Jiang Erye nodded with a smile, "Besides what Liu'er said, there is another point that Liao Qingmo is the son-in-law of the Jiang family. No one thinks that the son-in-law of the Jiang family will be involved with Qin Tianye, and even Liao Qingmo himself does not know why he was chosen. "
Yazheng also laughed, "Qin Tianye is indeed scheming, but he can't figure it out. The second master will take Yan'er and Liu'er to Taikang. I didn't expect that the strangeness of Siguniang Mountain would arouse Liu'er's idea."
"That's what makes people count. There must be a big play tomorrow morning." Jiang Erye's beautiful peach eyes were full of excitement from watching the play.
