9th Story 4
Shi Qing had known for a long time that Wen Qianyu was going to send her to the countryside, but she was still a little scared when she saw this mama, she wiped her red and swollen eyes, and whispered, “Mama?”
“Okay. You Shi Qing, Madam asked you to do something, but you actually stole something!” The mammy said sharply. In fact, from her point of view, it was too early and too deliberate for Wen Qianyu to frame Shi Qing now. She would have to wait a while to come out again, but thinking about the situation at home, she felt that even this would be fine.
They just wanted to send Shi Qing to the countryside, and they did it without looking for a reason. The reason was already for Dai’s father, mother, and Dai Ye’s face.
“Ah?” Shi Qing’s expression was a little disturbed. She really stole something, and there was no way to justify that she didn’t steal, and she didn’t dare to admit it.
“Madam’s phoenix hairpin is gone. It was given to my wife by the empress dowager at the beginning!” The maid looked down at Shi Qing with contempt in her eyes – such a village girl is really an eyesore in front of her eyes, it’s better to do it sooner It’s better to send it out, otherwise people will laugh at Shi Qing’s wife when they see Shi Qing.
“I didn’t take it…” Shi Qing was taken aback by the words “empress dowager”. Even though she knew that Wen Qianyu was going to toss herself, she never thought that she would have something to do with the aloof queen mother, that was the queen mother!
“Why can’t the lady find that phoenix hairpin?” Dai Ye followed behind the mammy, looked at Shi Qing and snorted coldly. He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. If not, it is impossible for Wen Qianyu’s father to appreciate him.
Today, he knew that even if it wasn’t designed by Wen Qianyu, it was condoned by Wen Qianyu. Otherwise, how could Shi Qing get in touch with Wen Qianyu’s phoenix hairpin? But so what? Wen Qianyu wanted to deal with Shi Qing, as long as it wasn’t too much, he would help Wen Qianyu.
“I really didn’t take the phoenix hairpin.” Shi Qing said again, looking at Dai Ye couldn’t help crying, if those people said she took the bracelet or something, she might recognize it in fear, but the hairpin, she and Mu Ling Ke did not take it.
Shi Qing is actually quite strange, Mu Ling obviously took several bracelets and gold locks, why did these people only mention the phoenix hairpin? Could it be that they have not seen those jewelry?
I have to say that Shi Qing is the truth. There are so many pieces of Wen Qianyu’s jewelry, and the lost ones are inconspicuous. No one has found them now.
“You’ll know if you take it or not.” The mama found two women to drag Shi Qing, and then asked the maid to search Shi Qing’s room. After a while, someone came from Shi Qing. A phoenix hairpin inlaid with ruby and sapphire was found in the needle and thread basket of .
“Bold! This is something that the Empress Dowager rewarded, and you dare to steal it!” Dai Ye glanced at the phoenix hairpin and said sharply.
“Master, what should we do with this matter?” Mammy asked.
“I don’t know what Madam’s plan is?” Dai Ye asked.
“This phoenix hairpin has always been Madam’s favorite. The old slave is worried that Madam will be angry, so she hasn’t reported the matter to Madam.” The maid said, although she knew that Wen Qianyu was fine, but she was still sitting on the confinement, this kind of thing Of course, you can’t bother Wen Qianyu from the beginning.
“Then ask Madam to decide.” Dai Ye said, as long as Wen Qianyu is not excessive, then he will do as Wen Qianyu said.
Next to Shi Qing’s house is the residence of Dai’s father and Dai’s mother. There is such a big movement here. Of course, Dai’s father and Dai’s mother cannot be unaware. In fact, they are watching at the moment, and Dai’s mother is holding Dai Chen’an in her hand.
But none of them spoke for Shi Qing, they just stood beside them cautiously.
Seeing the phoenix hairpin, Dai’s mother couldn’t help but straighten her eyes, subconsciously thinking that Shi Qing must have really stolen something – who doesn’t like such a beautiful hairpin? She had already pleaded for Shi Qing before, but now she was unwilling to ask again, and even held Dai Chen’an tighter, fearing that her little grandson would do something stupid.
If Dai Chen’an went to help at this moment, Wen Qianyu and Dai Ye would have an opinion on him!
Dai Chen’an didn’t need to be dragged by her grandmother, nor would she help Shi Qing. How could such a woman who steals other people’s jewelry be his mother? He suddenly remembered some things from the past. Shi Qing went out for a banquet and even stole a piece of meat and brought it back to him, which was very petty.
That mama had already sent someone to look for Wen Qianyu. Now that she saw this scene, she said, “Let her kneel and reflect first.”
The two women who were dragging Wen Qianyu skillfully kicked Wen Qianyu’s leg. She asked Shi Qing to kneel down, and at this moment, Dai Chenping suddenly rushed in: “My mother didn’t steal anything!”
Dai Chenping didn’t believe that his mother would steal anything. He used to be in the country and was hungry. If you go to someone else’s house to dig a sweet potato and eat his mother, how can you steal the hairpin? And this hairpin has been stolen from his mother and can’t be worn, so what are you stealing? It’s better to go to the kitchen to steal a bun, and you won’t be known after eating it.
Dai Chenping instinctively felt that this was a framed accusation by Wen Qianyu, but he didn’t even speak Mandarin very well, and now he doesn’t have the mouth to defend.
Dai Ye doesn’t like Shi Qing or Dai Chenping. When this son saw him for the first time, his eyes were wary. After that, he taught his two sons to read, and Dai Chen’an was learning quickly, but he didn’t know what he asked, and even the gentleman he found for them was unwilling to teach him. Now …
this kid is probably doing farm work stupidly, and he is no different from those mud legs in the countryside!
Dai Ye was ashamed to admit that he had such a son.
“What else does the uncle have to say?” said the mammy, and glanced at Dai Chen’an again.
This mama doesn’t take Dai Chenping in her eyes, just like she doesn’t take Shi Qing in her eyes. It’s easy to get rid of such a person who is not smart at all, but that Dai Chen’an is not easy to deal with, not only does it win Dai Ye’s favor, but there is nothing wrong with Wen Qianyu.
In addition, Wen Qianyu used to like Dai Chen’an for the sake of alienation, but now it’s not good to send him out casually… For Dai Ye, a woman he doesn’t like and a son he likes, he knows what to choose.
That mammy was a little displeased with Dai Chenan immediately, and even began to think about how to make him unlikable. Of course, if she could send him away this time, she wouldn’t have to work hard.
“My mother didn’t steal it!” Dai Chenping said again. Dai Chenan kept talking to Dai Ye on the way to Beijing, and changed most of his accent. After spending some time in Beijing these days, the accent is not very noticeable, but he … When he was in a hurry, he didn’t even speak Mandarin with an accent, but instead spoke in dialect.
At that moment, some maids covered their mouths and laughed.
“Second brother, tell father that mother will not steal.” Dai Chenping looked at his younger brother. He knew that his younger brother was loved by others. No one listened to his words, but ifhis younger brother begged his father for mercy it might be alright.
“Ping’er, come to my grandmother’s place.” Dai’s mother waved at Dai Chenping, not wanting Dai Chenping to say anything else, it was the queen mother’s phoenix hairpin, Shi Qing might be imprisoned, and her grandson couldn’t be involved.
Dai Chenping didn’t go, he still had a good relationship with Dai’s father and Dai’s mother, but Shi Qing was his mother, how could he just watch his mother being bullied?
Shi Qing looked at her son and began to cry, but her heart was warm – she also had a good son.
At this time, the maid who went to Wen Qianyu’s place to ask questions just now came back, and brought Wen Qianyu’s answer: “Madam said, this is a family scandal today, and it’s not good if it’s too big, she won’t pursue it for the sake of the master. But she doesn’t dare to stay with a person who steals things like this, and it’s better to send it to a village in the countryside, as for the other, it depends on how the master punishes.”
Hearing this person’s words, everyone present relaxed. Taking a sigh of relief, the maid said again at this time: “There are two young masters. Madam means that the two young masters may have learned some bad habits in the country, so it is best to send them to the country. Find a gentleman to teach them for two years.”
Dai Chenping and Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and even thought it was good, because they didn’t want to live here, but everyone else changed their faces, and Dai’s father and mother were even more reluctant. How can a precious grandson be sent to the countryside?
Dai Ye didn’t want to do this either. Shi Qing can be sent away. He even thought that Wen Qianyu was very generous. She deserved to be the eldest lady from a big family, but the two children were sent to the countryside… Could it be that his two sons will change in the future cultivated?
“An An still wants to study.” Dai’s mother said immediately when she saw that the little grandson was afraid and only dipped into her arms.
“Ping’er can’t ignore it either.” Dai’s father also had deep feelings for his eldest grandson.
Dai Ye glanced at his parents, and immediately said: “Shi Qing stole something, even if the lady is generous, she can’t be taught a lesson, come here, beat a board, and then lock it in the firewood room and starve for two days. Two days later, she and Chen Ping will be sent to the village in the countryside, Chen An wants to study, and the current husband can teach him, so there is no need to go.” He saved one of the two sons, and he was able to explain to his parents. . Dai Chenping looked useless at first, so if he went to the country, he would go to the country.
Shi Qing didn’t feel any pain after being slapped before, and didn’t care about being slapped, but Mu Ling didn’t want to get hurt anymore. What’s more, she was different from Shi Qing, she didn’t want to be sent to Zhuangzi at all.
After she was sent to Zhuangzi, although she had the opportunity to escape, she had nowhere to escape, because she had no household registration, and even if she escaped, if she was found in the end, she was still Dai Ye’s concubine, and Dai Chenping was still Dai Ye’s son. Dai Ye can even deal with them at will within a certain range – the escaped concubine can be beaten to death by the master at will!
She didn’t want to get to this point.
Directly grabbing Shi Qing’s body control, Mu Ling cried: “Dai Ye, you are not human. You went to Beijing to take the exam. I support your parents at home. I have a lot of love for you, but you actually demoted your wife as a concubine! Ingratitude!”
This is what Dai Ye can’t hear the most. Now that he hears Shi Qing’s words, his face can’t help but look ugly. Although there are many people who demoted their wives as concubines, divorced their wives and remarried, but this is still not allowed by the imperial court.
Of course, most censors would not do such a thing, because it is very likely that they will not be involved… When the late emperor was in power, a high-ranking official in the court once demoted his wife to a concubine. He demoted the original wife to a concubine, but stood up and said that she was his concubine…
This woman relies on this important minister to live. If this important minister is sacked, both she and her children will be unlucky. Naturally, she would rather recognize that she was originally a concubine than let her husband down.
It’s just that the former concubine of the important minister has a deep sense of righteousness, and this Shi Qing… If something happens to this shrew, he will be unlucky!
For a moment, Dai Ye wanted to kill Shi Qing, but he also knew that it was impossible.
After he married Wen Qianyu, everyone who should know about his past knew, that’s why he picked up Shi Qing’s mother and son. At this time, Shi Qing was sent to Zhuangzi by him. As long as he did a good job on the surface, maybe others would still He would feel that he didn’t abandon the brat, but if Shi Qing died, those who had a holiday with him and the Wen family would definitely attack him, and even his parents would not be able to accept it.
“I want to reconcile with you, I don’t want to live with you anymore!” Mu Ling said again, how much she could guess Dai Ye’s situation. Dai Ye has not yet established a firm foothold in the court, and the Wen family is offended by supporting the third prince. A lot of people… Under such circumstances, no matter Dai Ye or Wen Qianyu, they have to be careful.
“He Li?” Dai Ye frowned and looked at the matter. He really didn’t expect that Shi Qing would make such a request. He is an official now, shouldn’t Shi Qing try his best to curry favor with him? Why would you want to make a peace with him? Could this woman be crazy? And… how can a concubine talk about reconciliation with a man?
Whether it is in Dai Ye’s opinion or in the eyes of others, Dai Ye has done his best to send Shi Qing to Zhuangzi, and Shi Qing wants to reconcile, he just doesn’t know what to do.
She is a woman, how can she live after her divorce? Isn’t this b*******?
“Aqing, don’t think about it! How will you live after Heli?” Dai Mu said quickly.
“In the past few years, didn’t I support myself all by myself?” Mu Ling said immediately.
Dai’s mother was at a loss for words. Shi Qing did support herself before, and even supported them.
“You’re not my wife now, what are you talking about?” Dai Ye said.
Of course Mu Ling knew about this problem. She thought that Shi Qing’s household registration, Dai Ye, might have already been dealt with in her hometown, and immediately said: “Yeah, I’m not your wife anymore, just a concubine… I don’t want it. Be a concubine, give me back my household registration!”
“Is this what you thought?” Dai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn’t help but think about it, Shi Qing, a woman, doesn’t understand this, and now Shi Qing with such a request, maybe someone outside said something to Shi Qing and wanted Shi Qing to deal with him. Dai Ye would not allow such a thing to happen.
“No one said anything to me. I don’t want to be a concubine, didn’t you say I stole something? You drove me away, and my son.” Mu Ling said. What is a concubine? Concubines can sold at will!
Dai Ye couldn’t help laughing when he heard this. He didn’t even know that Shi Qing could be so naive.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll make a fuss. I’ll go to the emperor’s judge and ask him if it really makes sense for him to sweep the original wife out of the house! If you agree, convert my dowry into money and return it to me. , let me take the child away, and I won’t make trouble.” Mu Ling said again.
“Dad, I don’t want to go with her, I want my mother!” Dai Chenan suddenly jumped into Dai Ye’s arms. He hated Shi Qing so much that she could just go by herself, but now she even wanted to take him away…
Dai Chenping has nothing to do with it. , still standing beside his mother, but felt a little strange – his mother can be so powerful!
In fact, Shi Qing in Mu Ling’s body has already started to make trouble. If she knew the current situation when she was in her hometown, she would rather be divorced and stay in the country than go to Beijing, but now she is in the capital.
If she is terminated in this unfamiliar place, how will she live in the future? What will happen to her children? Are they still going to beg for food?
Mu Ling forcibly suppressed Shi Qing and looked at Dai Ye firmly.
Dai Ye really never thought that such a thing would happen. From the beginning, he felt that Shi Qing and the two children would definitely pester him, so he never thought about leaving Shi Qing. But now according to her words, only to find that it can be done once and for all.
Mu Ling pretended that if you don’t agree, I’m going to make a scene. Dai Chenping was by her side again, Dai Ye sneered when he saw this, “Are you really going to leave? Do you know that you can’t say a word clearly? Woman, what will it be like when you go out?”
“I don’t want to be a concubine anyway.” Mu Ling killed this matter.
“Master, you promise.” At this moment, Wen Qianyu suddenly came.
The matter has not been resolved for a long time, Shi Qing suddenly made a mess, and Wen Qianyu finally couldn’t lie down, so she was directly supported here.
In fact, she is more satisfied with the current solution than sending Shi Qing to the countryside. Speaking of which, if she hadn’t been worried that Shi Qing would cry, make trouble, hang herself, and make trouble after being suspended, she would have let Dai Yeshi go. Sunny drove away.
“Xianggong, she didn’t want to stay. Why don’t you let her go? It’s not your fault. You let the concubine who made a mistake go out to marry by yourself. I believe everyone will say that you are affectionate and righteous.” The people next to him got a reclining chair, sat on it, and said, getting Shi Qing to his own village, and he would be embarrassed by himself. If Shi Qing left, then nothing would happen!
Dai Ye was very precious and obedient to Wen Qianyu. He also knew very well that Wen Qianyu didn’t want to see Shi Qing again. After thinking about it, he quickly agreed to it.
As Mu Ling thought, Dai Ye had already dealt with Shi Qing’s household registration, and now Shi Qing was just a concubine to him, and if he wanted to drive a concubine away from home, even a good concubine couldn’t be easier. , without even going to the yamen.
Right now, Shi Qing made a mistake and stole something. Not only did he not punish her, he let her go, and it was just like sending her to the countryside.
“My child is with me.” Mu Ling said again.
“Dad, I’m not leaving!” Dai Chenan said quickly, and ran to Wen Qianyu’s side again: “Mother…”
Wen Qianyu’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t push Dai Chenan away, so Shi Qing just left, maybe there was something tricky in it, so it was still necessary to keep Dai Chenan by his side.
Dai Chenping looked at Dai Ye with hatred, and looked at Dai Chen’an angrily. If it wasn’t for Mu Ling’s pulling, he would probably have rushed over to beat his brother.
“Dai Chenping disrespects his father, I will separate him today! But Chenan, you can’t take him away.” Dai Ye said directly, Shi Qing wanted to take the child away, he didn’t want a stupid white-eyed wolf like Dai Chenping! It’s just a son of a bitch, and it’s okay to drive away.
“Yes!” Mu Ling said, Dai Chen’an didn’t want to follow her and she didn’t want Dai Chen’an!
Dai Ye quickly fetched the household registrations of Mu Ling and Dai Chenping, and even asked his servants to go to the yamen to help Mu Ling and Dai Chenping establish a household.
Holding the household registration information that the head of the household is Dai Chenping, Mu Ling felt relieved for a while, and even Shi Qing, who had been arguing in her heart, stopped talking.
“Dai Ye, you have to give me back my dowry.” Mu Ling stopped Dai Ye.
Dai Ye always called each other’s words or official positions when he was outside. When he got home, he was called “Master”. No one called him by his first name for a long time. He said to Mu Ling: “There are one hundred taels of silver in it, you can do it yourself!”
Shi Qing’s original dowry included ten acres of fertile land plus a lot of dry land that is not very good. These are more than one hundred taels for her. The whole set of furniture and bedding made by his father and the bottom of the quilt… Moreover, Shi Qing has worked for them for several years in vain!
However, Mu Ling didn’t bother to care about it at this time, so she just took the bag of silver and sarcastically said, “You sold my land when you went to examine people. It seems like you got a hundred and eighty taels?” It suddenly became a little ugly, but he couldn’t get more money. The official’s salary is limited, and he is now holding a position without oil and water. Speaking of which, if he hadn’t married Wen Qianyu, I am afraid that now he can only rent a small house to live in.
Dai Ye turned around and left. After returning to the room, he found someone again and asked them to stare at Shi Qing.
If Shi Qing had contact with others, he might as well tell them to abduct his concubine…
“Mother, where are we going now?” Dai Chenping saw that Dai Ye was gone, looked at the lively scene outside, and bit his lip .
“Let’s find a place to stay.” Mu Ling said.
“Where do we want to live?” Dai Chenping asked anxiously.
“Stay in a safe place.” Mu Ling said, and without hesitation, she chose a large and stylish inn to stay in.
Although Shi Qing was suppressed by Mu Ling, she was able to see the situation outside through Mu Ling, and now she felt distressed: “Why did you find such an expensive place to live?”
“Safety.” Mu Ling said in her heart, and then take Dai Chenping into the room.
In order to save money, she only opened one room. Fortunately, Dai Chenping was still young, and the inn gave two more quilts, so it was okay to squeeze for a few nights.
Mu Ling has always been very calm, but when Dai Chenping saw her like this, most of his initial fears and fears disappeared, and he went to bed early after eating two steamed buns prepared by Mu Ling, but Mu Ling couldn’t sleep a little, and she and Shi Qing ” chat.”
“God, what are we going to do next?”
“I will ask tomorrow to see who can take you in.” Mu Ling said.
“Someone is willing to take me in?” Shi Qing asked in surprise, her husband wanted to drive her away, others…
“Of course someone is willing to take you in.” Mu Ling glanced at Shi Qing, she always had a way to find a place for this person.
Shi Qing was also worried before, but now she is relieved to see that Mu Ling is so determined, and then she remembered the golden bracelet that Mu Ling had wrapped in mud and thrown outside the fence: “Are we going to pick up that bracelet? Are we going back? If it rains and the mud outside is drenched…”
“Ping’er is sure that you won’t steal anything, so if you take the bracelet back, you won’t be afraid of his disappointment?” Mu Ling asked.
“Then what should I do?”
“The bracelet is nothing if I don’t want it.” Mu Ling said.
Although Shi Qing was a little distressed, she didn’t want her son to misunderstand her and stopped talking at the moment.
“Okay, go to sleep.” Mu Ling said.
The next day, Shi Qing originally thought that Mu Ling would continue to occupy her body, but she did not expect Mu Ling not to do so. Not only that, but Mu Ling also asked her to inquire about the news.
“I don’t know… I can’t even speak Mandarin…” Shi Qing said quickly.
“If you don’t do it, how do you know that you can’t do it well?” Mu Ling asked back and mentioned Dai Chenping: “You really don’t want your son to have a good life?”
Shi Qing is a countryman with little ability. A woman, but it cannot be denied that she is very loving to her two sons. In order to let Dai Chenping have a better life, she cheered herself up, and then chatted with the second shop assistant while she was not busy, and asked a lot of news.
Combining the information asked by Shi Qing and the information obtained by observing Dai Ye with a telescope these days, Mu Ling summed up some information.
For example, there are six sons who have grown up today. Except for the seventh prince who is still young, the other five princes are not too young. Now, the most likely to become the prince is the first prince from Concubine Zhao, Concubine Wen. The three princes who came out, and the queen raised the fourth prince by his side.
The ability of these three princes is very outstanding, and now they are fighting fiercely in the court, making the whole court so smoky, and some people are reluctant to go to court…
A well-known great Confucian, even in order to avoid being involved, now only teaches his few disciples at home.
On this day, Mu Ling occupied Shi Qing’s body again, and then took Dai Chenping out with a book in his arms, and threw away the people behind him.
