Master of Rebirth

In the next few days, the entire Zhengxihou Mansion was very busy.Moji Khan is about to enter Beijing, and Zhao Rui, as the main person in charge of welcoming Khan, even though he is just a name, but the Seventh Prince can't support many things, so he has to do it himself.

Seeing that the people around her were busy hitting the back of their heads with their front feet, Zhao Jing felt embarrassed and continued to lie down.After resting in the mansion for a few days, he also went to work.

Zhao Jing went out early and returned late every day, and Wang Qi had nothing to do, so he often went to Wang Sheng's house to have dinner.Besides Wang Sheng's family, Qi Xing and Xing Lin also brought their family members.The whole family ate together, which was very lively, and Wang Qi felt the feeling of home that he had not seen for a long time.

Wang Fang's family has been taken to the capital by Wang Sheng, and after the resettlement is settled, Wang Yao wants to move there to live with him.Zhao Jing saw that the house was not far from Zhengxihou's mansion, and Wang Qi was helping to speak, so he agreed.

Although Wang Sheng has followed Wang Qi for many years, he has very limited arty ink in his belly.After buying the house for Wang Qi, it was named "Little Bamboo Garden".This indescribable name sounds like a copy of Zhuyuan in Pingyao County.

After Wang Fang moved in, she felt that the name was too petty and was very dissatisfied, and kept clamoring to change places to live.

Wang Qi knew the temper of the third aunt's Miss Xiangfu, and for Wang Yao's sake, she didn't bother with her.But now that everything has been settled, if we change places, we may not be able to find a suitable house in a short time.If she doesn't change, although Wang Fang can't do anything to him, she will torment Wang Sheng and the people who served her in the past.In order to keep everyone clean, Wang Qi thought of a compromise.Seeing a few old plum trees in the house, they simply changed the house into a plum garden, and Wang Fang's family stopped.

After all the dust settled, there were not a few days left until Moji Khan entered Beijing.Although Wang Yao is a marginal figure, he is not welcomed by the emperor.But after all, he saved Moji Khan's life, and he is also the existing Daliang official who has the best relationship with Moji, so he must go out to show his face.

Wang Yao is not here, so it is not good for Wang Qi to visit Wang Fang's often.The matter of Zhao Jing's mother can only be let go first.Simply, Wang Qi just wanted to try her luck with Wang Fang's, and didn't have too much hope for her.

"My third aunt hasn't made any fuss in the past few days, right?" After the meal, the others dispersed, and Wang Qi asked Wang Sheng while eating the fruit after the meal.

Wang Qi and Wang Sheng have endured hardships and enjoyed blessings together, and their relationship has long been beyond the comparison of ordinary masters and servants.Whatever happened, Wang Sheng wouldn't hide it from him, he just said it out and the two of them complained together.

When Wang Fang was mentioned, Wang Sheng's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.He said bitterly: "This third old lady is worthy of being the daughter of the Xiangfu. Even if the Xiangfu is gone, the phoenix with hair is still better than the chicken. I have nothing else to do all day long, but I like to pick my nose and eyes. In just a few days, the people I sent to serve have almost changed. It is really difficult to serve. Thinking about it now, our old lady of the Wang family is more kind-hearted than her. gone."

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when you thought grandma was kind and kind." She joked with Wang Sheng with a smile, but Wang Qi didn't take it seriously.

In fact, he understood that the reason why Wang Fangshi was so picky was that he was used to complacency before, and he was too lenient in doing things.Now that she has lost power, she has to rely on the Wang family that she has always looked down upon, so she judges others by herself, fearing that the Wang family will embarrass her in turn, so she preemptively strikes first, and uses ostentatious methods to barely maintain her Miss Xiangfu's last decent.

This kind of person, the more things happen on the surface, the louder his voice is, the more confident he is in his heart, and all his fangs and claws on the surface are trying to support himself.As long as you give them shame a few times, you will be more honest immediately.Wang Qi has thousands of ways to calm her down, but she doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as a woman.As long as Wang Fangshi doesn't make too much trouble, Wang Qi is willing to give her some face because she is an elder.

"You have been in the business all year round, and you have to meet all kinds of people. After all, we open the door to do business, and it is not uncommon for people to make trouble in the store. You have to see what they are thinking and understand their thoughts. Only then can we prescribe the right medicine.” Even though he said this, Wang Fang’s family is his third aunt after all, and Wang Qi certainly would not throw the hot potato to Wang Sheng’s care, “After all, the third aunt was a lady of the Xiangfu, so it’s a bit difficult to serve her. If she keeps making trouble for no reason, I will ask the prime minister to send a few people to take care of her."

Hearing this, Wang Sheng immediately said: "Look at what the young master said, if you don't take care of this trivial matter, you will have spent so many years in vain. Don't worry, the third old lady is just a servant girl who dislikes being close to her. Stupid. It happened that there was a suitable person next to my family, so I sent it over. In the past two days, the third old lady has stopped."

Wang Qi is very satisfied to see that Wang Fang's family is still acquainted.He looked at Wang Sheng and said politely: "You sent out the person who is in use by your wife, what will she do?"

"Young master, don't worry." Wang Sheng said nonchalantly, "That person was not used by my wife all the time, but was rescued by brother Qi Xing and Xing Lin on the way to Beijing. My wife thinks that she is diligent and careful in her work. It's a lot of trouble, it's just right to serve the old lady."

Hearing that the person sent to wait on Wang Fang's body was met by Xinglin on the way, and she didn't know the details, Wang Qi's heart tightened, and she asked vigilantly: "What is the woman's name? Where is she from? How did she get caught?" Qi Xing and Xing Lin saved it?"

"Her name is Qiaogu, from Lingnan, and we all call her Qiaojie. Speaking of which, she is also a hard-working person." Wang Sheng opened the chatter box, and he added tea to Wang Qi, and said unhurriedly: "Her husband died. It was so early, leaving behind two daughters, the older one was not yet young, and the younger one was less than ten years old. Because there was no son, the three mothers were bullied at home, and they couldn't survive, so they went north to join relatives. Who knows if relatives I found it, and spent all my money, but the younger daughter fell ill again and was almost kicked out of the inn. The sister-in-law of the Qi family saw that their mother and daughter were helpless, she was very pitiful, so she stayed."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Lingnan is thousands of miles away. It is not easy for a woman to lead two young girls to travel thousands of miles. Where did Xinglin and the others meet this Qiaojie?"

"It seems to be in Zhoucheng." Wang Sheng thought for a while, and then said: "The relatives Qiaojie defected to used to live there. I heard that they walked for more than half a year before they arrived, but unfortunately they moved away long ago."

Zhoucheng is still far away from the capital, and not close to Pingyao County, even if someone wanted to strike up a conversation with Qi Xing and the others on the road, they probably wouldn't choose such a place.Wang Qi thought, could it be that he has become a soldier?

"My lord, do you think there is something wrong with this Qiao sister?" Seeing Wang Qi's thoughtful expression, Wang Sheng asked cautiously.

Wang Qidao: "I think that although the people you sent over are only temporarily serving the third uncle and the third aunt, you still have to find out their details, and you can't let people who don't understand get in."

"It turned out to be this." Wang Sheng patted his chest and assured: "Young master, don't worry, the people who sent you here know everything, and there will be no mistakes. As for this Qiaojie, she should not be someone with ulterior motives. Listen to Qi Xing At first, Sister Qiao was very grateful to them for taking them in, but when she heard that she was going to the capital, she was reluctant. She said that she thought the distance was too long and she was afraid that her daughter would be bumped."

Wang Qi said: "Then why did she follow again?"

"It's not for my daughter." Wang Sheng sighed, and said, "Originally, the sister-in-law of the Qi family left money, which was enough for her three mothers to live for a while. Unfortunately, two days later, sister Qiao hired a carriage and brought her daughter to catch up. After asking, I found out that I met quack doctors. They spent a lot of money on medicines. As a result, the child's illness not only did not get better, but became more and more serious. Sister Qiao is a woman. There was a conflict, and he didn't dare to take risks with other doctors, after considering the left and right, he still felt that Xinglin was the most reliable, so he chased after him."

Qiaojie's approach is very reasonable.A helpless woman, her daughter was seriously ill, and a lot of money was cheated out of her only money.Instead of staying and facing the unknown future, it is better to go to the benefactor who has helped him sincerely.What's more, there is a doctor with excellent medical skills in that group of people.

Wang Qi then asked, "How is her daughter's condition?"

"The girl was young and traveled long distances, so her body couldn't take it anymore. In addition, she was not acclimatized to the environment, and it took so long to get the treatment. It's not bad if she can save her life." Wang Sheng sighed: "I used to eat Xinglin. Fang Zi, the girl's condition has stabilized. Who knows that liars and quack doctors are so heartless that they can harm people like this. I heard from Brother Qi that if Sister Qiao hadn't come in time and Xinglin's medical skills were good, the child might have died. "

Wang Qi thought to himself, Xinglin's medical skills are excellent, the girl is sick or not, so naturally she can't hide it from his eyes, it shouldn't be a fake.

"Sister Qiao is also unlucky. Part of the money given by the sister-in-law of the Qi family was spent to hire a doctor, and another part was spent to hire a carriage. There is not much left." Wang Sheng continued: "After this incident, she is really not happy. If you dare to ask others to see a doctor for your daughter, you can only ask the sister-in-law of the Qi family to take her in, and then follow them to the capital."

Although she thought it might be a coincidence, Wang Qi was still worried, and asked again: "Since coming to Beijing, where has this sister Qiao been? Who has she met?"

"Don't talk about her going out, she can't be pulled out." Wang Sheng showed a dumbfounding expression, "I have never seen such an honest and responsible person. Ever since she came to my house, sister Qiao has been staying in the backyard." , she is either working or taking care of her daughter. She has never gone out. I heard from my wife that she does not usually contact other servants, and she rarely even talks. The lady sees her hard work, diligent and careful work, she likes it very much, thinking Take her out for a stroll, and buy her some clothes by the way, but she just doesn't want to."

Without going out and in contact with people, you can't pass any news.Although this Qiaojie's behavior is a bit too withdrawn, but it is possible that she is a solid person who only wants to work harder to repay the kindness, and does not ask for anything else.

All in all, at this time Wang Qi has basically ruled out the suspicion that Qiaojie is a spy.

"Since she doesn't like going out, why did she agree to go to Third Aunt's?" Wang Qi asked just in case.

Wang Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "At first I was unwilling, saying that I didn't dare to serve the family members of the high-ranking officials in Beijing. I was afraid that we would lose our place if we didn't take good care of them. But none of the maids and women in the family can compare with Miss Qiao's heart. Handy. My wife was afraid of wronging the third old lady, so she told Sister Qiao that Mr. Wang has been working as an official in other places, and he just returned to Beijing to live for a few days, and he will leave after a while. She also promised again and again that even if the service is not good, it will be fine. Just come back directly, and I will never blame her. Only then did Sister Qiao reluctantly agree."

"So that's how it is." Wang Qi finally felt relieved, "After Moji Khan leaves Beijing, the third uncle will most likely be transferred out. Then the third aunt will follow. Don't worry, they won't bother us for too long. "

Wang Sheng smiled and said, "I know, little one."

A few days later, Moji Khan and his party finally entered the capital under the eyes of all the people, and were grandly received by Emperor Liang.

During this pilgrimage, Moji Khan not only brought a lot of valuable tributes, but also expressed his sincerity of submission to Emperor Liang on behalf of more than 100 tribes in the southwest.Liang Emperor Longyan was very happy, and he decreed to reward many things, and he was even more pleasant to the crown prince.Zhengxihou Mansion and other people who rescued Moji Khan were also rewarded. Even Wang Yao was promoted several levels.

In this regard, Wang Fang did not think that Wang Yao deserved it, but insisted that the emperor still thought of Xiangye, so she was extra merciful.Wang Fang desperately wiped all the powder on her face, even Wang Jing showed displeasure.Seeing that Wang Yao didn't speak, Wang Qi naturally didn't bother to talk much.However, he knew in his heart that the reason why the emperor transferred Wang Yao away from the south of Yunnan was only a small part of meritorious deeds.The main reason is that I don't want Wang Yao and Moji Khan to have too deep friendship.

However, no matter what idea Emperor Liang had in mind, Wang Yao was very satisfied with the result.

Southern Yunnan was completely pacified, and Emperor Liang was very happy, and he was not lenient in rewarding him.Not only are the living rewarded, but the dead are also mourned.

Because of Moji Khan's personal clarification, Wuzhou, the former county magistrate of southern Yunnan who had been accused of treason, was finally rehabilitated.With a swipe of his pen, Emperor Liang posthumously granted Wu Zhou the title of Governor of Southern Yunnan, and rewarded his family with many things.Except for Wuzhou, all Daliang officials who died in the line of duty in southern Yunnan also gave them enough dignity after death.

After a few days of excitement, Moji Khan was going back.Before leaving, he deliberately entrusted his ten-year-old son to Emperor Liang to take care of him, so that he stayed to study the culture of the Central Plains.

As for the hostages rushed to his door, Emperor Liang was naturally happy to accept them.He affirmed the loyalty of the Baiyi people and promised to take good care of the little prince, and then generously added a lot of rewards.

After thanking you a thousand times, Moji Khan went back with a lot of supplies.

As soon as Moji Khan left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Wang Qi originally thought that he and Zhao Jing could go to investigate Mr. Wuzhu together, but unexpectedly, the whole Zhengxihou Mansion fell into a strange and dull atmosphere.Not to mention Zhao Rui, Marquis of Zhengxi, even Fang Heng and Shi Dong, who had hardly seen each other after returning to Beijing, stayed in the mansion all the time.

It stands to reason that the person who has just been rewarded by the emperor himself is not said to be high-spirited, but he is not so shy.Sensing something was wrong, Wang Qi went to ask Zhao Jing.

"What happened recently, have the people in the mansion been collectively grounded?" Wang Qi asked half-jokingly.

Zhao Jing smiled wryly and said: "Although he was not banned obviously, it is almost the same. The emperor has ordered Dingbei Hou Zhouying to investigate Mr. Wuzhu's matter with full authority, and Anyang Bozhang Bixian will assist. Donggong and Zhengxihou's mansion were all excluded.”

"Why?" Feeling something was wrong, Wang Qi asked puzzled.

"Because Moji Khan's whereabouts were leaked in Dabei Town, the emperor thought it might be the cause of Zhengxihoufu and the prince, so he let us avoid suspicion." Zhao Jing said.

Hearing this, Wang Qi became completely angry, "This is really a crime of intentional crime. There is no excuse. Moji Khan was hunted down in Dabei. If Fang Heng, Zhang Yuan and Mu Zisu from the East Palace hadn't tried their best to protect him, Hall has already succeeded. How can the emperor be suspicious of the crown prince and Zheng Xihou's mansion?"

"Don't be angry first." Zhao Jing was very happy to see that Wang Qi was very angry, and thought that he was ignoring for herself.He embraced Wang Qi's shoulders, and said softly: "You can't blame the emperor for taking the opportunity to attack. This is also a reason for the incident. Moji Khan has already told all about his assassination in the southern Yunnan county government when he came to Beijing this time. Tell you slowly."

This Qiaojie is a foreshadowing that will be useful in the future.
