Rebirth of the Phoenix

The imperial court has a holiday from the [-]th of the New Year's Eve, and there will be no court meeting until the [-]th day of the first lunar month, but the half-sound on the night of the New Year's Eve attracted the attention of the whole city, and the common people were curious about what new things it was, but the dignitaries who knew it You will only know that it is something made by a dude in Beijing to please the beautiful woman, and the nobler will know that it is the thing made by the grandson of the old Duke and the son of the current uncle's family. It attracted the attention of the sensitive people in the court. If it weren't for the fact that the current queen has no children... some people like to spread their thoughts, and they think of the rumors in the palace. It belongs to the Xiao family, not the Xiao family. Some upright imperial censors have already written the repertoire, and they are only waiting for the sixteen dynasties to be played to the emperor.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the married woman had to go to the palace to meet the queen. Feng Yun'er bid farewell to her mother in the early morning, but she only waited for her return in the afternoon. It was an hour later than in previous years. When her mother He came back, her face was extremely ugly.

"Mother, what happened?" Feng Yun'er's heart tightened.

"It's okay." He Roushan replied bluntly, entered the room, waved away everyone, He Roushan held her daughter's hand, "Listen to your mother, if anyone asks about the fireworks, just pretend you don't know about it."

Feng Yun'er felt that her mother's hands were icy, and she felt uneasy, did fireworks violate some taboo?After returning to the house, she immediately wrote a text message for the kite to deliver to Zhang Xiu.

Mrs. Zhang returned home a quarter of an hour later than He Roushan. Because of her status as the old lady of the country, no one dared to confront her. Even He Roushan and Fatty's mother had the blessing of the old lady to successfully escape from this whirlpool. jump out.

"Grandma, did something happen today?" The old lady was already old, and Zhang Xiu was very worried about her.

"Don't worry, grandma knows well, none of them can bully grandma." Behind her back, the old lady smiled sarcastically, "I'm old, maybe I will go there at any time, this is their taboo, but grandson, this matter It's still not over, you know?"

"It's my grandson's fault." Zhang Xiu lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt heavily on the ground with a "slap", "If my grandson was more careful before doing things, or even didn't set up any fireworks, there wouldn't be such a problem gone."

The old lady stretched out her hand lovingly, touched Zhang Xiu's face and rubbed it, "Xiu'er, it's not a problem, it's not a problem, you are my Zhang family's nephew, and everything you do is done by my Zhang family." Bear, let me see who dares to bully you." As she spoke, the old lady raised her voice and said, "Jinse, take my invitation to visit General Xuanwei, and ask him to come over to talk about it." As she spoke, she turned her head and whispered He reminded Zhang Xiu, "General Xuanwei was your grandfather's lieutenant general back then. He hugged you when you were a baby. You should be treated as an elder."

The old lady has never used her dead husband's relationship for so many years, but the persecution in the palace woke her up like a sleeping silver dragon, and she immediately launched a huge counterattack.

General Xuan Wei came over immediately after receiving the letter. When he saw the old lady, he knelt down on his knees and called him "Master".

The old lady didn't say anything directly, she just told Zhang Xiu to be on vacation and asked Zhang Xiu to go to the military camp with him, Uncle Li, for a period of experience.

General Xuanwei respectfully agreed.

When Zhang Xiu sent General Xuanwei out, he was slapped on the shoulder by General Xuanwei, "Okay, the tiger father has no dogs." His eyes have been trained, and he can tell at a glance whether anyone has martial arts.

"Uncle Li." Zhang Xiu smiled wryly, feeling as if she had been slapped by a giant elephant on her shoulder.

"The ugly word is up front. If you can't keep up with my army training, I will return the goods to my teacher." General Li smiled boldly, "I heard that someone made things difficult for you, little baby, don't worry, you can enter my army." Troops, no one will dare to embarrass you."

Only then did Zhang Xiu understand why grandma threw herself into the barracks, it was all to escape this vortex.

In the palace, the empress who had been reprimanded by the emperor swept all the things on the table to the ground, "Old godly woman, how dare that old godmother..." The queen trembled all over, recalling in her mind when she was still an unmarried girl, He once heard with his own ears that Wen's scolded a misbehaving and cheeky woman to go home and hang herself. He even remembered the first few years when she was a queen. Every time she wanted to win the Duke's mansion, Wen Shi changed the subject in a hurry, and then... when she wanted to go all out and fight those two sluts, she heard that Wen Shi said that she had lost her virtue as a woman and had new and old grudges. How could the empress be reconciled, but, Whoever asked Wen Shi to marry well, even if her husband died, her contacts would still be there. Thinking of that terrible network of contacts, the queen shuddered violently, but... she was unwilling to let her give up the way to make money.

The next day, the queen announced that her sister-in-law, the fat man's mother, would enter the palace.

But when the fat lady came back, she was furious, and she lost her temper with her husband for the first time, "I don't know if I did something wrong in my previous life, otherwise why would I marry you? Know how to make progress, but who knows that the eldest sister ran to become the queen, and you have cut off your official career since then. Well, if you can be a country uncle with peace of mind, the concubine will have no complaints, but what do you think? She can't do it herself. Sheng, why do you want to take my son? Tell me, it’s even more extreme now. Is it easy for Yuan’er to go out alone? After finally tinkering with a firework, she wants to take it away. What does she want to do? Dig out the heart and hold it in front of the Holy One, and the Holy One would not take it too seriously!" The fat lady was annoyed, and said indiscriminately, "Don't hit me in a hurry, let me tell you, do you know what she wants now? She wants Yue Come to the restaurant! She clearly knew that it was Yuaner's property, and that it was her nephew's job to earn pocket money, but she wanted all the restaurants and inns with one word, why should she? Did she contribute money or efforts? Let me tell you, no way! If you hadn't told her, how would she know about the restaurant? I don't care if she uses it for herself or to please the sage. I’m sorry for the big sister who dragged her back, if you think I’m not good, just leave me and go home! I’ve tolerated her for a long time!” The fat lady finally broke out, her face flushed with anger, and she married her. Afterwards, the eldest sister relied on her status as queen to feed her so many times, and relied on her status as a sister to sow discord with her husband, not only her husband, but also her two sons. What did she want to do?She is not a serious mother-in-law, but she is more disgusting and hateful than her mother-in-law.

As soon as the words were finished, the door was knocked open. The two brothers smiled awkwardly, and then they worked together, one helped up the mother, and the other went to the father's side to persuade them. "Father, you can't blame your mother for this matter, it's because the aunt did it too dishonestly, it's the second younger brother's own property, and it's not our Xiao family's, this matter can't be done like this." Xiao Yuan's elder brother Xiao Zheng persuaded .

"Father, if my aunt told me personally, maybe I would agree, but in this case, I dare not agree." Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Father, do you still remember the tailor shop of our Xiao family?" Back then, Xiaoji Tailor was considered a famous shop in the capital, but the queen was moved by it. After she went, the reputation of Xiaoji Tailor became worse day by day, until now it was completely worthless, "Yuelai Restaurant is not just me. People's property, Miss Houfeng of Dingguo and Brother Zhang of the Duke's Mansion occupy the majority of it, and the other scattered shares are accumulated in the hands of the famous nephew. This is the son's network, there is no reason to offend the elder aunt With so many dignitaries, who doesn't have one or two prominent relatives in Beijing." Xiao Yuan said logically, "It's not pleasant to say, father, don't be angry, my aunt is destined to be childless. Chinese imperial physicians all know that if a childless empress wants to become an empress dowager, she must first settle down." But she is not quiet, and she is also prone to trouble, Xiao Yuan took his father's face into consideration, and did not say it bluntly.

"I know all about it, alas." Fatty's father is also difficult to deal with, that is his own sister, but in the current situation, if he helps his sister, the wife and children will soon be separated. , the two said they were siblings, and they hadn't been together for a year, so he was afraid. The two His Royal Highnesses were about to grow up, but the queen sister dared to act like this. He was really afraid. As a member of the royal family As a relative of the state, he has never been benefited, but instead he has been suppressed everywhere. If the youngest son hadn't met the nobleman and opened a restaurant together, maybe he would still be living a hard-to-finish life.In this way, it is not difficult to guess his preference, he bowed to his wife, "You have worked hard for me for many years." He bowed to the end, and then told Xiao Yuan, "Of course the restaurant is owned by several shareholders. How can a son be the master, as a father, he will go back to the empress, if the empress insists on going his own way, he will play the book for the father, and sue the empress for taking advantage of her status."

When the few people heard this address, they immediately understood the attitude of the husband/father, and then the fat lady got up and performed a blessing ceremony, everything was kept silent.

It's not that you don't want to support, you have to be able to support it. The queen has been rejected by the emperor for more than ten years, and the uncle's mansion has never given up on this relative. It's just that the queen has gone too far, and she has reached out to the uncle's mansion to survive Since the queen does not care about the survival of her younger brother's family, it will sooner or later be abandoned by the heartbroken uncle.

After Xuanwei General Li Jing accepted Zhang Xiu, he turned around and went to the mansion of the Minister of Industry, and the next day he wrote the memorial book. The emperor's eyes lit up when the music was rushed into the hands of the emperor, and he immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to make fireworks. For communication purposes, as for the fireworks store that the Empress mentioned a few days ago, the Emperor scoffed, "It really is a woman's opinion."
