An old lady's life

As soon as the prince left, the lights in the front yard were quickly extinguished, and the wormwood and red leaves came to the back yard. Except for the women who had been drinking just now, there were still a few candles lit in the yard, and there was a weak candle in the back yard. Candlelight, especially eye-catching in the dark.

The woman was in a fit of anger, and the servant girl and the mother who served her were doing things tremblingly.

"Bah, do you think you can turn a sparrow into a phoenix if you get pregnant? I want to see what happens to her!" Feng Susu was born as a prostitute, and her status is lower than her. She entered the East Palace?Don't dream, the general big family in Beijing will not ask prostitutes to enter the door, let alone the royal family?

The two passed by outside the yard, carrying a gust of wind.Feng Susu's yard is located at the back of the whole house, but the decoration in the yard is not worse than other places.

This time Feng Susu was getting up at night, a candle was lit in the bedroom, and a little maid was serving her to drink water.

It was the first time for Ai Cao to see her, and she found that she was really good looking, but she couldn't reach the level of a stunning beauty, but there was a hint of melancholy between her brows, which was particularly pitiful.

Seeing Feng Susu again after two years, it was still at night, she was indeed a beauty, no matter what the environment was, she was still a beauty.

"Cherry, has the Crown Prince left?" Feng Susu naturally knew that the Crown Prince was here today, but he didn't come to see her. Was he angry that she was pregnant without telling him?But this child is really God's will. Every time she serves His Highness the Crown Prince, she always drinks avoidance soup afterwards. When she falls into this situation, she will only be discriminated against after the birth of her children, so she has never thought of having children, unless the Crown Prince Take her back to the East Palace, but is the East Palace so easy to enter?

The maid Cherry, who was putting the teacup with her back to Feng Susu, paused, turned her head and said with a smile on her face, "Well, His Royal Highness has something to discuss with Lord Chu, and they will leave after the matter is over. Girl, don't worry, wait until the girl gives birth to the queen." Sun, it's too late for His Highness the Crown Prince to be happy."

Feng Susu lowered her eyes, and the maid said again: "Miss, don't worry, you are pregnant now, pregnant women should not think too much."

.. ......

Ai Cao stroked her chin and said, "She looks quite harmless, but she really can't be judged by her appearance, and the sea water can't be measured!"

Hong Ye's eyes were on her abdomen, but she didn't show her feelings yet, no matter how beautiful Qin Keqing was, no matter how beautiful she was, she would never let her have anything to do with the Ning Mansion anyway.

"She is very smart. If she hadn't fallen into a brothel, she must be a character." Whether it is ancient or modern, prostitutes are criticized, even if she is also a victim, but people will not pursue the original sin, they will only think that is her problem.

Leaving from the Prince's residence, Hong Ye and Ai Cao night tour the capital, red lanterns are still hung on the streets, the taste of the year is not over yet, some businesses are already waiting for the arrival of the Lantern Festival.

When I think of Lantern Festival, I think of Jia Yuanchun returning to the province in the Red Mansion.

After the night tour of the capital, Hongye continued to stay in the Rong Mansion, and Ai Cao went to Zhuangzi to live for two days. In the past two years, Su's Manor has taken in a lot of children, only through Ai Cao's instruction and her secret work. Some hands and feet, the land of the manor is no longer so barren, at least everyone on the manor can be self-sufficient.

The task assigned by Hongye to Jia She has not been resolved for a while, and the Lantern Festival is coming.The Lantern Festival on the street was very lively, and since Jia Hu was mostly in good health, Hongye allowed him to go to the street to watch the Lantern Festival.

It’s just that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are not suitable to lead the team, so the task of leading the team was handed over to Jia Zhen. Naturally, Jia Zhen wanted to bring his wife, Hu Shi, with him. The mighty team left from Rongning Street and came after turning a few streets. to downtown street.

Except for Jia Lian, Jia Hu, Jia Zhu, Zhang Ying and Zhang Li, all the children in Rongfu went together. Jia Zhen hugged Jia Zhu tightly, for fear of losing her cousin, but he just wanted to have a romantic date with his wife. It was a mess, but Mrs. Hu didn't mind. It was already a pleasant surprise to be able to come out and watch the excitement.

In the mansion, Hongye let go of her spiritual sense and followed Jia Zhen and the others all the way. Sure enough, she saw a few children looking around, curious about everything.It seems that after the filial piety, Jia She has to take them out for a walk, especially when the crops and fruits are harvested on Jia She's farm, the children can also experience the life of the farm, at least they can't be idle. point.

The excitement of the Lantern Festival is naturally indispensable to Ai Cao. Ai Cao and her niece are wandering in the street, Lin Hai and Jia Min have gone to the world of two people, and Hong Ye's consciousness has been extended, and she has already discovered it.

[Come out and play! ] Wormwood releases consciousness to communicate with Hongye.

[Ai Cao, you really deserve a beating. ] The red leaves are faint and authentic.

Ai Cao couldn't help laughing smugly, Hong Ye replied again: [Actually, I doubt your IQ very much, how can you live longer and get back?Although there are old children and old children's titles, it's just a humble name for old fools, but you are dragged into it. ]

Ai Cao's face turned dark immediately, [Yes, you are the one with the highest IQ in the world! ]

The two were arguing, and Ai Cao was able to cope with it with ease.

A lively occasion like the Lantern Festival naturally breeds many dark places. Whether it is ancient or modern, kidnappers are hated. Two years ago, Ai Cao helped Hou Yuanlong. Where there is profit, there is evil.

When people relax, they give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Wormwood and Hongye were chatting excitedly, and the crowd in front of them uttered earth-shattering cries.

"Where's my son? Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao." The woman dragged and pulled her, slipping around in the crowd.

The crowd backed away unconsciously. Seeing her collapse, someone finally asked, "Sister-in-law, what color is your son wearing? We'll help you find it."

"Yes, what does it look like?" Someone in the crowd echoed.

Because the sister-in-law was crying hysterically, the street was shaken. After hearing her tell the characteristics of her son, Ai Cao's consciousness was far away.

A moment later, in a quiet street, I saw two people hurrying toward the depths of the alley with a child in their arms. Ai Cao gave her niece a hand.

"Come on, Nuan Nuan, let's help that sister-in-law find someone."

People on this street have passed messages to each other, and soon someone said: "Just now I saw a woman carrying a child in a black coat going here."

Hongye naturally also found out, [Don't act on your own, call more people. ]

Ai Cao thinks so too. Although she can do it alone, the reason is unreasonable. Of course, she can wait until the dead of night to be an unknown good person.

Just when she was looking for someone, Feng Yu, Prince Qi's son, came into her sight. Of course, Feng Yu was not alone. He and his eldest son, Fang Leling, were standing in a dimly lit place.

As soon as Feng Yu heard that the old lady was looking for a helper, she naturally recommended herself, talked to Shi Zifei, and immediately ran away without a trace. After about half an hour, he came back with a group of people.This group of people included good buddies from his clan, as well as the patrol team that happened to be seen at the end of the street, a mighty group of people.

Ai Cao said to Lin Nuan and the concubine Fang Leling, "Nuan Nuan and the concubine stay together, and my aunt is going to catch the traffickers!"

Lin Nuan looked at his aunt's hale and hearty look, and the corners of his mouth twitched. My aunt just likes to surprise, and the concubine Shizi was also a little bit dumbfounded. It was a good Lantern Festival, and Feng Yu was obviously accompanying her, but now she ran to catch kidnappers. This Lantern Festival experience Quite novel.

"Miss Lin, why don't we follow from a distance and see for a while." The concubine Shi Zi was eager to try, since she married into Prince Qi's mansion, she has lived a very comfortable life, a hundred times better than in Fang's house, especially Feng Yu. He was very kind to her, no matter what she said, he would listen to her, and she told him not to get drunk outside, so he never came back smelling of alcohol.

Lin Nuan nodded. Naturally, she would not leave her aunt alone.

Ai Cao and Feng Yu led the way. She followed the route pointed out by someone in the crowd just now, until she reached a quiet street and a deep alleyway. I haven't fallen asleep yet, and I heard that I am looking for a kidnapper. Everyone is happy to cooperate.

Feng Yu and the group of disciples of the clan are also full of energy. The Lantern Festival is the same every year, but this year they have a special experience, so they are very excited and are determined to catch the kidnapper.

This movement was a bit loud, attracting people from other places to come here.

The seventh prince, King Zhaojun, came here with the princess after hearing his subordinates report what happened here. However, when he saw his cousin Feng Yu and the old lady, the seventh prince immediately raised his forehead.

The princess of the county pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My lord, let's go, I will talk with my sister-in-law and Miss Lin."

King Zhaojun nodded silently and left two guards for the princess. He brought his guards to Feng Yu and the others.

"The Seventh Prince came just in time, just in time to help find out the human trafficker hiding in the dark."

The corners of King Zhaojun's eyes twitched, but since he encountered it, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

The patrol team and King Zhaojun found a lot of people, including the people who joined the search spontaneously. Seeing that the team was about to find the house deep in the alley, the kidnappers couldn't sit still.

Ai Cao saw that they were packing their luggage and planned to leave from another street, so she immediately asked Feng Yu and King Zhaojun to send two pairs of people there. If the timing was right, they might just bump into the kidnappers who were three men and two women gang.

The next day, the weather was fine, the sun came out of the clouds early, and Ai Cao sat comfortably in the yard basking in the sun.Since the tenth day of the first lunar month, the weather has become clearer and warmer day by day.

The action of catching kidnappers last night can be described as exciting, because there were many people involved, and the three men and two women were caught without landing, and were finally thrown into prison.

Moreover, the people rescued from the kidnapper's den were not only the children lost by the sister-in-law last night, there were a total of eight children, three boys and five girls, and three sixteen or seventeen-year-old women were imprisoned in the cellar.

Jia Min and Lin Hai only found out about this incident after the fact. Today, the imperial court resumed normal operation, and it was another big day. This incident was reported to the court as a major event by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushi.

Naturally, Emperor Changping was not ignorant, and he also knew that his son and nephew had done good deeds.However, the son and nephew are normal people, and usually they would order their subordinates to do such things, but with the old lady of the Lin family who likes to do good deeds, anything is possible!

Early in the morning, Jia Min came to communicate with her mother-in-law to inquire about the news in Beijing.

Ai Cao has a messenger here to inquire about Xiaoqi, and Jia Minlai happened to listen to the news with Ai Cao.

The sister-in-law last night was just an ordinary family. It is true that she accidentally lost her son, but not all of the rescued children were secretly sold by people close to her, which involved a lot of consequences. Dirty things in the house.

There are also two court officials, one is a concubine who suppresses concubines and concubine daughters;Compared with the former one, the latter one can be said to have made a principled mistake. He was put in front of the emperor by the censor, and the official was not lost, but he was demoted; what is he doting on that concubine?Not a promotion yet!This Mr. Jin didn't dare to fart, didn't dare to complain, and didn't dare to do anything to the concubine after returning home, because the concubine had a background, so he had to be exiled to Zhuangzi and wait for the wind to pass before returning.

Rong Mansion, Jia Zhen and the others came back last night after the incident ended. Jia Zhen originally wanted to let her cousin down and let him go by himself, but then she didn't dare at all, and kept hugging Jia Zhu.But everyone was curious, so they didn't return home immediately.

Now Jia Amnesty is paying attention to the news outside, and will discuss with his mother as soon as possible.

"The backyards of these officials' homes in central Beijing are not much less splendid than the harem." Jia She said with a sigh. Fortunately, the Rong Mansion has always been harmonious.However, there are still a few concubines in the backyard of the second child... Thinking that this kind of incident will also happen in Rongfu and spread widely in Beijing, Jia She is in a bad mood.

Hongye said with a half-smile, "What? Are you envious?"

Jia She shook his head hastily, and looked at his mother aggrievedly, "Mother, you're burying me again."

Hongye will be in the study room. She gave Jia Zheng several sets of test papers last year. Thinking of Jia Zheng's autumn exam in September, she planned to do it again during this time.

She bent down and took out a long stack of drawing paper from the drawer, and spread it out in front of Jia Shen.

"Xie'er take a look at the above, and express your thoughts on today's/chaotang affairs."

Jia She took a closer look at the table. It was full of relationships between people in Beijing and China. Of the two officials involved in the sale of their children, one was reprimanded by the emperor for not managing the inner house well, and the other was demoted by the emperor.The former is not a problem, but the latter is not. After all, it is not easy to be promoted.

"This Mr. Jin should belong to King Su. I'm afraid there is a reason why he dotes on his concubine and kills his wife. He wants to please his immediate superior." Jia Amnesty quickly figured it out. Wife and daughter, right? Is Mr. Jin’s head caught? Even if King Sujun can make the decision for him, it’s impossible for him to spoil his concubine and kill his wife.” Isn’t this against the etiquette?Aren't you afraid of being drowned by the world's spit?

Hongye nodded: "Indeed, this Mr. Jin's mind was trapped by the door."

Jia Amnesty made a careful distinction again, and said, "There are quite a few people attending him. I don't know if this censor belongs to the crown prince or the king of Xiangjun."

This courtroom is really chaotic, Jia She felt a headache, but mother's map is very practical, Jia She thinks he can learn from it.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with the Rong Mansion. Half a month later, Jia She happily ran to find his mother with a stack of notes and a long piece of paper himself.

Hongye knew what he was going to do, but couldn't stop laughing.

Lao Zhou sent people to follow Jia Jing for a month. Every day, who did Jia Jing meet at work, who did he meet after get off work, and what time he had tea with a certain official, etc.?

Jia Amnesty drew one himself according to his mother's relationship tree, centered on Jia Jing, and expanded around.

Under Hongye's guidance, Jia Amnesty quickly drew up Jia Jing's interpersonal relationship spectrum. There was nothing wrong with her colleagues, but one of the officials, Hongye, if she remembered correctly, had seen it the other day when she and Ai Cao visited the prince's outer residence.

Okay, now we have found the link between Jia Jing and the prince.

Hongye pointed at the official named Zhizhi (word Hongzhi), and said solemnly to Jia Amnesty: "Let someone investigate this person, he has problems."

Jia Amnesty took a closer look, "This man's name is a bit strange. He is wise. Its meaning is understanding and far-sighted, but his word has some meaning, Hongzhi? He has lofty ambitions. It's not out of place, but it's a little strange." Appeared by my cousin's side ten days ago, met my cousin in a tea house, it seems like a coincidence, maybe I came prepared."

He gathered the map, "Don't worry, mother, I will let people watch him."

Hongye emphasized one point, "Let the people below be careful, this person should be very vigilant."
