I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Song's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were full of anger, but he still maintained a dignified posture.

"It's getting late, sister-in-law should go to bed early." Han Qi then asked where Mrs. Song lived, and called Zhang Chang and Mrs. Fang to see her off.

Although the Song family and Han Qi are quite different in age, they are uncles and sisters after all. Now that Han Qi lives alone, it is naturally inconvenient for the Song family to live at home.If Mrs. Song has a place to live, she will send her there. If not, Han Qi will arrange another place to settle Mrs. Song.

The countless words of condemnation that Song had been brewing on his lips, and Han Qi's two repelling words, made his mind go blank for an instant.

Han Shanyan looked at the scene and curled his lips quietly.Reading more books is indeed very useful, and I can refute his mother in a gentle and reasonable way without losing elegance!Han Shanyan immediately reviewed his idea of ​​being a little unfilial, but he couldn't help feeling inexplicably what's going on?

"You're so good! As expected, you became an official, your wings are hardened, and you don't even notice your sister-in-law! Han Zhigui, thanks to your reading so many books, you don't even understand the principle of not forgetting one's roots!"

Song Shi was so angry that she couldn't get any more angry, she immediately got up and planned to leave.Now that Han Qi has kicked him out, how could she continue to stay cheeky.

"What my sister-in-law said is very true, one must not forget one's duty." Han Qi agreed.

Song Shi was on guard this time. She knew that even if Han Qi agreed to her, she might not have good words, so she stared at him defensively and waited for him to say something.

"Zhigui always remembers the elder brother's teaching when he was young, to cultivate oneself first, and then to organize the family." Han Qi paused, and then said to Song, "Zhigui knows why sister-in-law looks down on her, it's not uncommon, his father Cui Mao also had this attitude, and was later criticized by the Queen Mother to 'cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's virtue'."

Han Qi's words not only brought out the empress dowager to remind the Song family, but also had implication:

You are no longer like No.1, he has long been mentally prepared and has a countermeasure.Rather than causing everyone to break up, it is wise to choose to not interfere in the first place.

Song's face was gloomy, and she stared at Han Qi coldly, her attitude remained unchanged.

"In Beijing in the future, I will take good care of him."

When Han Qi said this, he looked at Han Shanyan who was following behind the two of them.

Han Shanyan was stunned for a moment when he was called on suddenly, and then quickly continued to shrink his head, lowering his sense of existence.

Song frowned fiercely, Han Qi was threatening her.Tell her that if she doesn't mind her own business, the two rooms can still communicate normally, and he can take care of Han Shanyan with his ability in the future.But if there is a breakup, it goes without saying.

Those who are unfilial to officials will be ridiculed and punished.But it's not a big deal for brothers to fight against each other, at most it's just a few words of reprimand and discussion for a while.She really had nothing to threaten Han Qi.

Her father-in-law passed away early, leaving Hu's mother and son Han Qi behind.Out of responsibility, the brothers of the Han family naturally have to take care of the younger brother.Mrs. Song stopped the job, but it would be no trouble to take in a mother and child, and they could keep Han Qi's share of the family property in the long house.

Their mother and son really didn't cause any trouble, just leave them a yard and add some tableware, food and clothing.I can't talk about how caring, nor can I talk about being harsh, after all, it is Han Qi who is upbeat, good-looking, sensible and smart, he is liked by the teachers, and thus he has won the love of his brothers.

Afterwards, Mrs. Song felt that he was a man who could be made, and in the future he would give Han's parents face and glory to their eldest family, so she became more concerned about Han Qi's care.

But at that time, Han Qi was already grown up, and he was very polite and respectful to everyone, so that you couldn't make mistakes, but it was also difficult to get close to him.

But after so many years, Song originally thought that she should be regarded as a particularly important relative to Han Qi.It can't compare to her biological mother, Hu Shi, so there should be half of it, right?But today she felt that the relationship between them was just a 'fair friendship'.Of course, Han Qi would not take special care of the children he met casually, so from the fact that he took care of Han Shanyan, he could not be said to be ruthless.

After thinking about it, Song somewhat understood Han Qi's sense of propriety.Within the measure, there will be no shortage of relatives to visit and take care of each other.But out of proportion, if you say you are unfeeling, you will be unfeeling, and you will not care about the relatives of the past 20 years, let alone try to threaten him with these constraints.

Before leaving, Song sent Han Shanyan into the carriage first, squinting his eyes and questioning Han Qi.

"I really want to hear you tell the truth. What do you think of your elder brother and sister-in-law for so many years?"

"Zhigui respects all brothers and sisters-in-law." Han Qi replied.

Song asked Han Qi what was his attitude towards his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but Han Qi replied his attitude towards all brothers and sisters-in-law.

Mrs. Song, who had been mentioned several times by Han Qi in a foreign language, couldn't help thinking at this moment, did Han Qi's words have a foreign language?

Now that he is an official, he has given Han's parents face, but if the eldest house does not want to make friends with him, then there are other fourth house brothers.

Song also knew that the brothers of the Han family had their own tempers, and they certainly wouldn't all be as tough as her and oppose Han Qi unanimously.

She really couldn't beat this really smart person, he was too good at poking people's weaknesses.

Thinking that she has been the head of the house for so many years, she has dealt with everything properly, and she has developed a good mouth, but today she can't use it in front of Han Qi at all.Moreover, she has always said what she says, and has never been humiliated like this.

Mrs. Song snorted coldly, turned around and got into the carriage, completely ignoring Han Qi's polite farewell.

After the carriage drove, Song's face was gloomy and colder than winter.

Han Shanyan sat huddled in a corner of the car, for fear of offending Song.

But after a while, Mrs. Song still turned on him, telling him not to be like Han Qi.

"What's wrong with Uncle Six?" Han Shanyan thought that Uncle Six was perfect, and it was an honor to learn from him.

"You kid also want to be angry with me, don't you? Didn't you see what your sixth uncle did to your mother just now?" Mrs. Song couldn't vent her anger after holding it back for a long time, so she let it out on Han Shanyan.

Han Shanyan bowed his head in aggrieved silence, he knew his mother's temper.When she is angry, don't provoke her.

After talking about it again, Mrs. Song found that her son's attitude seemed to be perfunctory, and she lamented that her life was miserable, and she worked hard to plan and calculate for the family, but in the end she didn't do well in raising him.

Han Shanyan pursed his lips and lowered his head even deeper.

Seeing that Han Shanyan disagreed with her idea, Song asked him to speak up if he had something to say.Han Shanyan didn't say anything, because he was afraid that Song would blame her even more.

"Why do you think I'm unreasonable?" Song ordered Han Shanyan to speak quickly, and she promised not to throw anger at him.

"My mother wanted Uncle Liu to find a sixth aunt with a noble family, a good reputation and a decent face. It was really kind. But Uncle Six had an idea in his own mind. He didn't appreciate it. What's the point of insisting on it? What's the benefit of fighting against each other?

Maybe in the future, we will never communicate with each other, and we will suffer even more.When I was studying at Guozixue, I didn’t understand a lot of knowledge, so I needed Uncle Six’s help to clarify my doubts. Some time ago, he even gave me a policy theory, which benefited me a lot.The son was praised by the doctor of Guozixue when he turned around, so he had face and it was easy to make friends with those honorable children. "

The students who can enter Guozixue are either the relatives of the emperor or the noble families of the Sheng family. There is still a quota limit, and not all the students of the noble families cannot enter.For example, Han Shanyan's family background is in Guozixue, which is considered the lowest class, and is often looked down upon by others.Moreover, he was able to enter Guozixue because of his deceased grandfather's meritorious service as an official, and his eldest grandson. He was the only one in the entire Han family.

At first, Mrs. Song heard her son scold her for her wrong behavior, so she inevitably felt even more unhappy, but after listening to his analysis of the pros and cons, she also understood how reasonable it was.

"My son has heard some rumors about Mrs. Cui. She is a god-man. Even the queen mother and the officials admire her! Besides, her background is not low. Where can the Boling Cui family go? "

"Her hands can touch dead bodies! Would you like to hold your hand with a person who often touches dead bodies, let him eat at the same table with you, and call each other relatives?" Song made a hypothesis for Han Shanyan.

Han Shanyan was silent, saying that he was not afraid would be a lie, "But Sixth Uncle is not afraid, as long as my mother doesn't like it, it's a big deal to keep a distance from her in the future, after all, I don't always see her."

"What do you know?" Song frowned and pondered, feeling that the matter could not just end like this, Han Qi's path was blocked, and it was indeed not too hurtful, but there was another path to try.

"Mother, let's go!" Han Shanyan realized that Song Shi hadn't given up yet, so he couldn't help begging her to persuade her not to go too far.

"You were disobedient when you were a child, and you preferred to eat sweets. Your nanny's son, Fushun, also loves to eat like you. I'll take care of you, but your nanny indulged Fushun. Look at how Fushun's mouth is now, and you how?"

Fushun was originally Han Shanyan's companion, but because of the unsightly black and rotten teeth when he smiled, he missed the good opportunity to come to Bianjing with Han Shanyan to study and see the world, and he couldn't do those who serve Shumo. It's an easy job, but now I can only stay in my hometown and become a rough messenger.

The purpose of Song Shi telling this story to Han Shanyan is to tell him that she is someone who has experienced it and can understand it.Now that Han Qi is still young, many things may not be transparent enough. This requires an experienced elder to remind him and help him straighten him out.

He is now the same as Han Shanyan who loved sweets back then. He was forced to give up his current preferences, and he would inevitably feel conflicted. But after a long time, when he realized the benefits of her arrangement, he would naturally stop blaming her. And will thank her.

Han Shanyan felt that something was wrong. If he found something right, he should be able to refute his mother, but he couldn't find it, so he couldn't explain it clearly.Sure enough, he needs to read more!

The next day, Cui Tao got up early and prepared breakfast for Wang Siniang and Pinger, expressing apology for her concealment of her relationship with Han Qi.

A pot of fragrant Bigeng porridge, the rice grains are slender and slightly green, and the aroma is overflowing from the fire.This Bigeng rice is produced in Yutian County, and the total production is not much every year. It can be said to be the pearl of rice.Cui Tao was able to get this treasure thanks to the reward from the Queen Mother. This is also because Luo Chongxun knew that she liked to eat, and after the Queen Mother said "reward", he deliberately suggested it.

Cui Tao really likes to receive these delicious and delicious tributes. Food is rare, and the most affordable is to eat it in your stomach.

Cui Tao first placed three bowls of steaming hot porridge on the stone table in the gazebo.There was no need for her to call the two people in the East and West Wings who were not up, they were automatically awakened by the scent, and they took the initiative to open the window to look at the situation.

Seeing Cui Tao put a plate of pancakes and water celery mixed with dried eggs on the table, the two of them were afraid of missing the delicious food, so they hurriedly dressed and rushed out.

Ping'er was fairly neatly dressed, but when she came out, she was busy holding her hair in a bun.Wang Siniang simply dressed in a random way, and the belts were all misplaced, but she could guarantee that the skirt would not fall off when hanging on her waist.The head is naturally disheveled, because she likes to scratch her head when she sleeps, and the shape of the top of her head is like a chicken coop.

Wang Siniang was the first to take a seat at the table, and after taking a deep breath with her nose close to the porridge, she closed her eyes and looked up for a while as if she had taken some magical medicine, before opening them.

"But it's been a while since I've tasted Mrs. Cui's cooking. I'm so hungry!" After Wang Siniang finished speaking, she picked up the porridge, which was not too hot. She took a sip first, and then her eyes were as big as copper bells, " Well, that's what I just smelled, it's really delicious! Why is this porridge still a little green? What kind of magical medicine did the boss sprinkle on it to make Mifa fragrant?"

When Wang Siniang spoke, the chicken coop above her head was shaking.After all, Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately rushed over and grabbed Wang Siniang's hair, asking her to promise not to eat it first, and she wanted to cut her hair first.

"Then you just take care of it and don't delay my eating." Wang Siniang said.

"Damn me, if you start eating, I'll eat a little later, I'm afraid I won't even have a second bowl. In the past, forget it. If you don't eat this meal, there will be another meal. But this time it's tribute rice. Yes." Ping'er turned to ask Cui Tao if she was right, she remembered that she had heard Cui Tao said before that the tribute rice was a little greenish in color, and now she saw it so she felt it must be.

Cui Tao nodded in agreement.

"I said why it smells so good, alas, it's better to be a noble person, to be able to eat such delicious rice." Wang Siniang was envious, and finally, under the threat of Ping'er, she reluctantly put down her hands holding the bowl.

After Wang Siniang's hair was combed neatly, everyone sat around the table and began to eat.

The eggs are soft and soft, mixed well with the tender core of water celery, salty with a bit of sweet and sour, it's just right to eat with green porridge in one bite.There is also king melon with sauce, which is even more amazing. The tenderest king melon is marinated in sauce. It is crisp and fresh, and it tastes crunchy and subconsciously addictive.

This table of breakfast may seem inconspicuous, but it is fragrant and tender. It is the most extreme, and it is definitely a blessing to their tongues.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er were so full from drinking that they couldn't even think about moving. They just wanted to lie down and sleep again.

"As the saying goes, eating people's mouths is short, you two have eaten my precious food today."

Cui Tao smiled meaningfully at the two, which made Wang Siniang and Ping'er immediately wary.

Wang Siniang: "Boss, if you have something to say, it makes me afraid."

Ping'er: "Miss Cui is not planning to send us to die, is she? Is this a farewell meal?"

"What we said last night is a secret for the three of us, and we are not allowed to mention it to the fourth person," Cui Tao said.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they thought it was a big deal.This is natural, even if Cui Tao didn't say anything, they knew how to keep it a secret, so they asked her to rest assured.

"When we meet Tuiguan Han again, we can't look at him with any strange eyes, and we can't help but keep our eyes on me and him when we have nothing to do."

Cui Tao knew the temperament of these two people too well, even if she didn't say anything, the two of them looked at her and Han Qi with strange eyes every day, and guaranteed that within three days, people in the whole Kaifeng Mansion would be able to guess what was going on with their toes.

"It's a bit difficult, the eyes are always out of control." Wang Siniang sighed.

She also wanted to see how well the two of them are compatible when she sees Han Tuiguan again today, and then carefully observe how the two of them flirt with each other, and how the details of getting along... It's going to be fatal, these are all It was predicted by Cui Tao in advance.

"Take a look, a silver needle is for the most painful, itchy and sensitive point." Cui Tao took out two of them as she spoke, and asked Wang Siniang and Ping'er if they should try it first, so as not to turn around and let them be the last Take too much.

"No, no, no, we have a measure, a very measure." The two said in unison, and the laziness after the meal disappeared. They immediately excused the shop for business and slipped away.

But after a while, the two turned back and sent a letter of greeting to Cui Tao.

It is said that it is a greeting card, of course it is impossible for the other party to come to Kaifeng Mansion to visit her and invite her to meet in the elegant room of the Eight Immortals Building at noon.

Cui Tao looked at the signature, and after learning that it was Han Qi's sister-in-law, she glanced at the font on the letter again. Her mood was ups and downs, and her handwriting was bold and unrestrained. She was able to write small characters in such a form, which shows that she was carrying a lot of " Gas', presumably with anger.

Yesterday she just happened to discuss with Han Qi about getting engaged.Han Qi sent a message to Quanzhou half a month ago, and according to the time, the Song family probably came to Bianjing because of this matter.

If Mrs. Song was very satisfied with her words, how could she be so hasty and even ask her to meet in private.This is dissatisfied, naturally with anger.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er also realized that Song's purpose in meeting Cui Tao was not good, so they asked to go with Cui Tao.

"That's good." Cui Tao didn't know what the Song family would do, so it was safer to bring two more people to testify.

Cui Tao smelled the smell on the letter paper, and made a box of incense with Suhexiang as the main ingredient, and went to see Mrs. Song as a gift.

As soon as Mrs. Song arrived at the Eight Immortals Tower, a servant came up to ask the guests what to address.Song's accompanying servants were worried that the servants in the restaurant would not serve him wholeheartedly, so they revealed their identities and asked him to prepare a room for the upper class.

When He An heard that this was the person Mrs. Cui was going to meet at noon today, he raised his eyebrows and agreed happily, and immediately arranged the most spacious and elegant room in the Eight Immortals Building, "This private room is exquisite, and it is the best in the store. We have always been It is reserved for the most distinguished guests, and I would rather be empty than receive people casually.”

Song originally thought that this servant was just talking nonsense, but when she entered the private room, she saw that the furnishings in the room were comparable to those at home, and there were serious authentic works of famous artists hanging on the wall, so she knew that this servant was Well said.

This made her feel strange. Given her status in Quanzhou, it made sense for her to be treated so favorably, but in Bianjing, where nobles are everywhere, it might be a little strange.

Afterwards, without her ordering anything, Si Bo ordered all the prepared fruits, asked Mrs. Song carefully about the taste of her tea, and went to Longjing.

Mrs. Song saw that the dim sum served by this servant seemed to be good, so she picked up a piece and took a sip, feeling amazed immediately.

Naturally, He An noticed the raised eyebrows of Mrs. Song when she usually had snacks, and introduced to Mrs. Song with a smile that the food in their restaurant had been instructed by an expert, and she never dared to be number one in Bianjing before, but Now it is really the number one in most people's hearts.

Song Shi nodded, she was clear about this, otherwise she would not have chosen to meet people here.

"Miss Cui is here!"

"Miss Cui is here!"

"Miss Cui is here!"

……

There were several voices coming from outside. It didn't seem like a special message, but a greeting?

When Mrs. Song was puzzled, she saw He An, who had been courteous in front of her, ran to the door in the blink of an eye, deliberately opened the door, and respectfully invited a young woman with a slender figure and a flawless face to come in.

Song guessed that this person was Cui Qiniang, so she took a special look at Cui Tao's clothes.The white brocade beanie, the blue pleated skirt, and the headgear are not complicated, but the decorations are not vulgar, and the ones that are worth some money are not too expensive, but they are very consistent with her status and will not be looked down upon. No, it won't make people feel that she is showing off.In terms of grasping this point, Song couldn't help but think of Han Qi.

Behind her were two women, one ugly and the other handsome, both of them bowed their heads dutifully, looking quite well-behaved.

"I've seen the eldest lady." Cui Tao made a shallow salute.

Song Shi saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing, she was generous and her smile was clear and clean, she was a little startled for a while.Of course, this was only for a moment, and she would not lose her composure because of it.

Song smiled politely and invited Cui Tao to sit down.

Then, Mrs. Song asked He An to serve the dishes, and let him arrange everything.

He An promised that he would serve all the best delicacies of Baxianlou according to the pre-ordered menu.There are many dishes that need to be ordered in advance due to the shortage of supply, such as the five-spice deer tendon, but because of Cui Tao's face, they are all served.

Song first politely apologized for bothering Cui Tao, and then asked Cui Tao some basic information.For example, what about her parents at home, concerned about whether her amnesia will recover, and feeling that Cui Tao's life has suffered a lot, and then began to ask about Cui Tao's imprisonment and being on duty for an autopsy in Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time, He An had already finished serving the dishes, and the room was full of fragrance, especially at noon at this moment, everyone was already hungry, but it completely whetted Song's appetite.Mrs. Song couldn't help but wonder why the dishes in Baxianlou were so delicious.

Cui Tao smiled warmly and suggested to have dinner first. Naturally, things like autopsy are not suitable for talking about during meals.

However, Cui Tao told the Song family about the less serious case, and told the Song family about Widow Sun's suicide.

After hearing Widow Su's experience, Mrs. Song couldn't help but sigh, "I'm a bit stupid, I died because of this, but it's also a helpless act, for the sake of a clean reputation."

"I don't understand. She is innocent. Why does she have to pay for her life to prove her innocence. It was not her fault from the beginning to the end. Why should she bear all this? Why should she care so much about what others say? Don’t you get tired of other people’s mouths? Don’t you live your own life? Don’t care what others say or do? Shouldn’t you care about your own son so that you can raise and take care of him when he grows up?”

Song was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Cui Tao's successive questions were not like judging the widow Sun in the story, but more like mocking and questioning her?Including the last sentence, she said that she should care about what other people say and do, but the most important thing to care about is her own son...

When she made an appointment with Cui Tao this time, she planned to ask her more about the autopsy, to express to her tactfully that the world has a bad opinion of her autopsy business, and to let her realize what she is doing now, as well as her past, They are not good enough for Han Qi.But these words were just a start, and now they are calling back because of Cui Tao's story.

"Then if you were her, how would you deal with this matter?"

Cui Tao continued to express his attitude in the story, which made it difficult for Song to refute directly.

However, Mrs. Song was curious about how Cui Tao, who was so aggressively asking questions, would deal with such a predicament.

Although she solved the predicament of being imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion before, she was lucky to meet Kaifeng Mansion with clear officials.But Widow Sun's situation is completely different, surrounded by a group of foolish people, admitting to death, calling for grievances is obviously not useful, otherwise Widow Sun would not choose to commit suicide to prove her innocence.

"Report to the official." Cui Tao answered very simply.

Song smiled lightly, "But when I reported to the officials, there were still no witnesses. When I met a muddled official and saw that the villagers all accused her unanimously, I took advantage of the situation and sentenced her like that. It still couldn't prove her innocence."

Cui Tao smiled confidently: "It's impossible to meet the official."

Song was puzzled and asked Cui Tao why.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er, who pretended to be honest, were also curious and couldn't help listening.They couldn't help admiring Cui Tao even more. The sister-in-law of the Han family obviously came with bad intentions, but now she is the same as Empress Dowager Liu, and they are all attracted by her story.
