Tong Jia anecdote

<six three>

Early the next morning, Tong Jiu took Dagula to Prince Shen's mansion to ask to see Prince Shen.

"Yo, Mr. Han, I haven't seen you for a few days. How is your house?" The butler greeted Tong Jiu warmly when he heard that Tong Jiu had arrived.One is that he knows that he is a new celebrity in the eyes of the prince, and the other is that Tong Jiu spends money on him and his family from time to time.

"Thanks to the housekeeper, everything is fine." Tong Jiu smiled kindly, and asked worriedly, "I heard from Zhuo Jing before, that the old man in your house is not feeling well, is it better these two days?"

"Hey, the old man is getting old, and there will be a lot of discomfort every year. It must be said that your wife's medicine is good in the Zhengtang, and the shop for imperial medicine is different from the shop next to it! Rong I've been busy with this year, so I'm going to visit the mansion to thank you." The chief housekeeper cupped his hands.

Tong Jiu introduced Dagula next to him for him, and said, "Master, I am here today for nothing else. This is one of my relatives, Dagula from the Mongolian Ujumqin tribe. They will be here this year. Sending tribute to the palace, but he was robbed by gangsters before entering the customs, and only he survived among the dozen or so people with him. He entered Beijing by begging all the way."

"Oh?" The butler looked at Dagula unexpectedly, and said, "The previous prince also delivered a letter to Ujumqin, asking where the tributes are going. This delays the tribute, but it will be punished." Said Wan took a look at Tong Jiu, meaning you follow? What are you doing in this muddy water?

Tong Jiu hurriedly explained, "Of course there is something wrong with the loss of the tribute, but I deeply feel that there must be something strange about it. Some time ago, there was an assassin in the house, and then the loss of the tribute—"

"Okay, you wait, I'll go in and tell you what the master means." The butler understood Tong Jiu's meaning and walked in quickly.

After a while, the butler came out with a smile, and said to the two, "My lord, please come in." Then he said to Tong Jiu, "The master is in a good mood today."

When he entered, Prince Xie was practicing calligraphy. He listened to the salutation of the two, put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "You are coming? Get up." Then he said to Dagula, "Why, the housekeeper said you The tribute was robbed by gangsters outside the pass?"

"My lord, the Ujumqin tribe has paid tribute horses to the capital for many years, and their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon. The tribute was lost this time because it was killed by a traitor. I hope the lord will find out." Dagula was a little excited Recounted what happened.

Seeing Prince Jian stroking his beard and meditating, he didn't speak.Tong Jiu said, "Your Majesty, this is definitely not the work of ordinary bandits who seek wealth and murder."

"Why do you know?" Prince Jian must have thought of this and asked.

"Even if it's outside the pass, it's still in broad daylight, seeking wealth and killing lives. What was robbed was tribute, and none of the government offices or yamen in the past asked anything. My lord, do you think that in the Qing Dynasty, which group of bandits has such courage and face?" ?” Tong Jiu analyzed.

Seeing Prince Jian nodding, Tong Jiu said more worriedly, "The tributes lost this time are nothing more than horses for food and clothing, which are small after all. But in the future, when they come to Beijing from outside the pass, they will lose other princes." What you want is to grow up. Maybe, even the grassroots will lose their heads along with it."

"Huh?" Prince Shen sneered, glanced at Tong Jiu, and said, "You want to scare me?" He patted the table, and said angrily, "You just want to scare me by robbing a few horses?"

Tong Jiu stood with her head down and said no more.

Hearing Prince Xie's order, "Come here, tell Nari Song and Dai Senda that I want to ask questions." Then he said to Tong Jiu and his wife, "You go back first. You don't need to say anything about this matter. This king makes his own decision." .”

Not long after the two of them left, Prince Jian listened to the reports from the people below, looked at the list of officials who killed Hukou, and said, "Go and check to see who was on duty that day. And this Bomuer, as the new city gate Guard, turn a blind eye to the murder and banditry. Go, let them write some scriptures for participating in the performance, and hand them over tomorrow morning."

"My lord, as soon as the booklet is handed over, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely intervene." Nari Song remonstrated, "As far as the general knows, this city gate guard served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before. If he wants to intervene thoroughly Cha, who are you going to ask for this job?"

Prince Jian still stared at the list, his thoughts changed, and he said calmly, "Chen Jingyi."

"My lord is wise, it is most fair to let the Han officials investigate this matter. It will neither favor the Mongolian Ministry nor the Manchurians. In the end, I still have to act for you, my lord." Dai Senda agreed.

Prince Xie said displeasedly, "This year, this king is not doing well, so no one can stop."

Besides, Tong Jiu and the others went back to the mansion, and when they arrived at the concierge, they saw all the servants standing outside looking at the courtyard of the main house, talking a lot.

Among them, the young men standing outside saw Tong Jiu entering the mansion, and came up to lead the horse and said, "Master Jiu, you are back, you can go in and have a look. Just now an old lady came to the mansion, looking for life and death on the door, and said yes You want to sue Yangzhengtang, but Madam invited me in, I don’t know what’s going on right now.”

Tong Jiu exchanged greetings with Dagula, then walked quickly to the main room, no matter how far away from the main room, it was very noisy there.

Just about to go in, Hong Xiao came out with red eye circles, Tong Jiu looked at Hong Xiao carefully, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? When I came in, I heard from the concierge that there was some old lady looking for life and death?"

"What else can I do? The people under Yangzhengtang collected the medicine fields, and relying on the power of the Fucha family, they colluded with the local county magistrate to forcibly occupy the people's farmland." Hongxiao sniffed, and said, "If you are not satisfied, just The yamen was locked, and as a result, people were killed, and the old lady in the house was almost blind from crying, so go in and have a look."

"It's not bad!" Tong Jiu lifted the curtain and entered the main hall after hearing this.

I saw Ji Lan sitting there with a pale face, expressionless, and seemed extremely angry.Fu Chaqin was wiping away tears, comforting the old lady with gray hair and tears beside her.Standing beside Ji Lan, Fuchami also gritted his teeth angrily.

The big butler of Fucha's house was standing on the other side with a troubled expression on his face. Seeing Tong Jiu's return, he hurriedly said, "Second aunt, Master Jiu is back." As he spoke, he greeted Tong Jiu, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and persuade me." Persuade me, I will be so angry that I will break my body."

"Linwu just had a meal with Yu Hetang, and I haven't had time to ask. Sanfang's side is doing well, and they are doing these dirty things that run rampant in the countryside! According to me, this Yangzhengtang is closed as soon as possible. How much virtue the ancestors have accumulated is enough They lost." After Ji Lan finished speaking, he angrily slapped the Buddhist beads in his hand on the small table.

Tong Jiu walked over, took her hand that was pressing on the Buddhist beads, and felt that her fingers were cold at the moment, and said to Fuchami, "Go and hold a hand stove." As he spoke, he put his other hand on Ji Lan's shoulder, and said softly, "Since , The matter has come to this point, and you are so angry, but it will not help the matter."

He shook Ji Lan's shoulders, sighed in distress, and turned to the old lady, "My condolences, old man. The people below did all these outrageous things without telling us. Who else in your family——. "

"Ah, there is no one left, and the family is extinct! What evil did I do in my previous life, white-haired people give black-haired people, my poor son--" Before Tong Jiu finished speaking, the old lady burst into tears again up.

"Old man, don't cry, don't cry. We will take care of you in retirement. You have been exhausted all the way, let them help you down to rest and have something to eat, ah." Tong Jiu hated this kind of scene the most, advised Said, "If you have something wrong, there will be no one to complain about your son's grievances."

As he said that, he winked at the housekeeper, and waved to the maidservants in the hall, and they stepped forward to coax and persuade the old lady to go out.

"Oops." Tong Jiu let out a long breath, and said to Fu Chaqin who was still wiping away tears, "Pour me a bowl of water anyway, I've been out for a run all morning."

At this moment, the housekeeper came back, and said to Tong Jiu embarrassingly, "Jiu Ye, please persuade me, this old lady has no one else, so let's just keep it private. According to the temper of the second aunt, then all the three rooms must be sold. You can’t go to prison, this——, hey!”

"Murder pays for life, that's the reason." The housekeeper said to Ji Lan earnestly, "But don't care about anything else, if we really want to investigate, is the county magistrate okay? The news spread, and after the yamen gate Son, who dares to deal with our family."

Tong Jiu supported his forehead, scratched his forehead, looked at Ji Lan, and said, "The housekeeper's words are not unreasonable. It is small to kill relatives with righteousness, but the reputation of Yangzhengtang is great. Besides, even if the old lady really wins the lawsuit, the court ruled The crimes of Sanfang and the county magistrate, and the money for the pension, don’t we still have to pay it out of the cabinet.”

Ji Lan got up and said to the crowd, "Let's all go away, tell the cashier that Yangzhengtang's account is not counted. There is no bonus for Chinese New Year this year, so let's drink the northwest wind." After speaking, he went to the inner room.

Tong Jiu gave the butler a few more instructions, and then followed to the inner room.

"It started this summer, and I didn't know it at all." Ji Lan sat on the kang with her knees bent, her face facing the direction out of the window, she couldn't see the expression, but her voice was very dull, "The land is acquired at a low price, and the common people don't sell it." , They set fire to the fields and beat people. Colluded with corrupt officials, deceived the upper and lower, and exploited the common people."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, and said disappointedly, "I support the facade of Yangzhengtang, not to let them ruin it like this. If Yangzhengtang is gone, they will do less evil."

Tong Jiu loosened the coat outside, sat on the edge of the kang, and said, "I'll go down with the butler tomorrow to have a look, you don't have to worry about these things." As he spoke, he leaned over and embraced her lightly from behind.

While rubbing her shoulders and neck for her, he said, "I just passed by the palace, and their housekeeper praised the medicine we made in Yangzhengtang. He said that the imperial medicine must be offered in our shop, and no one else will do it. Hey, I felt that the face There is light."

Ji Lan leaned back into Tong Jiu's arms, felt the warmth behind her, and whispered tiredly, "Han Luqi belongs to Shu Guangxiu, Jiu'er belongs to Jiuniang, what is mine?"

"Han Tongjiu is yours." Tongjiu turned her head sideways, kissed Jilan's jade hand caressing her cheek, and sighed, "Seeing you worry about these trivial things makes my heart ache."

Ji Lan turned around, climbed onto Tong Jiu's shoulder, hugged her for a long time and said, "I'm really tired." While stroking the braids on Tong Jiu's back, she said with some resentment, "Ever since I had you, Yangzhengtang has never been the same. It's as important as before. It turns out that I'm also an idler, and I just met that person too late."

The author has something to say: Seeing that some gentlemen don't understand the relationship between characters very well, and say that their heads are too big, I feel very helpless.Sort it out, to put it bluntly.

Tong Jiu's stepmother, Qi Jia Muyun's mother, and Bo Muer's mother are three sisters, just like the three Song sisters.They were married to Tong Jiashi, Qi Jiashi and Guarjiashi respectively.

But because she is Tong Jiu's stepmother, Tong Jiu has no blood relationship with Mu Yun.So in terms of blood relationship, Muyun and Bomuer are closer.

As for Ji Lan's cousin, Yun Man was Tong Jiu's elder brother who was married in the early years, and Tong Jiu called her sister-in-law.Now that Hugh is back, Tong Jiu is married to Ji Lan, her name is Tong Jiu's brother-in-law.

Is this difficult to understand?
