"Master Bao, do you want Qin Xianglian, the second judge in the back hall, to inform Princess Wuyou and the consort today?"

After Zhan Zhao heard the decision made by Gongsun Ce after discussing with Bao Zheng, and was about to go out to order people to prepare, he suddenly remembered that he accompanied Mr. Bao to the Wuyou Palace to meet the princess consort yesterday. Before they left, the princess had said that Qin Xianglian would be interrogated again.

At that time, if she and the consort wanted to be present,

"Well, what do you think, Mr. Gongsun? Are the princess and the consort invited or not?"

It's not that Bao Zheng didn't remember what Princess Wuyou said, but they only planned to ask Qin Xianglian about the specific situation in the back hall today, and it wasn't a formal inquiry into the court, so he didn't ask Zhan Zhao to invite Wuyou.

Princess and the others now that Zhan Zhao has settled the matter, they simply discuss the matter with Gongsun Ce.

"It's not a bad idea! There is always more room for maneuver when asking questions in the back hall than in the upper hall. If you give it a try, you may get immeasurable results."

Just as Gongsun Ce finished speaking, Zhan Zhao sighed softly and murmured, "Before this case is settled, our Kaifeng Mansion may have to find a way to stand on its own in the court without falling! That princess's big brother

I’m afraid I won’t be able to rely on the tree anymore.”

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he walked out of the back hall, then left the front hall and left Kaifeng Mansion, heading straight to the palace, leaving two deep or shallow gasping sounds floating faintly in the air in the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, bring Qin Xianglian!"

Just when Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked at each other because of Zhan Zhao's words before leaving, Zhang Long walked in from outside.

"Please!"

Following Bao Zheng's quick words, Qin Xianglian, the woman who came to Kaifeng Mansion to beat drums and complain a few days ago, walked in with her son and daughter. As soon as she entered the door, she led a pair of children and plopped towards Bao Zheng and Gongsun.

Ce knelt down

"Public woman Qin Xianglian pays homage to Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun!"

While Qin Xianglian knelt down to bow to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, she also pressed the heads of the two children and asked them to kowtow to Bao Zheng.

"Qin Xianglian, what are you doing? Get up quickly! This is the back hall. We are not wearing official uniforms. We are no different from ordinary people. How can we bear such a big ceremony as yours?"

Just after Bao Zheng finished speaking, Gongsun Ce also echoed and said that there is no need for such words. He bowed to Qin Xianglian, which made these two young adults feel embarrassed.

"I want to worship, I want to worship. Just because Mr. Bao is willing to take over Xianglian's position is worthy of Xianglian's bow. What's more, in the past few days, the master has sent people to send money, clothes and food many times. If it weren't for the kindness of the master,

As a gift, Xiang Lian, mother and son, where can I find an inn to stay in, and where can I get hot meals to eat? From Chenzhou to Kaifeng, the three of us walked for more than three months. We were originally poor and sold everything.

We couldn't exchange anything for a few taels of silver. All three of us, mother and son, came here begging. We ate scraps of food donated by good people and lived in a ruined temple with a big haystack sometimes leaning against a tree.

Even a big tree can sleep overnight.”

Listening to Qin Xianglian's whispering words, and recalling the ragged clothes the mother and son were wearing when they first arrived in the lobby, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce's eyes couldn't help but become wet.

What a strong woman appeared in front of them now. She had suffered so much and endured so many hardships. She was still determined to bring her two children to Beijing to find the unscrupulous husband who cruelly abandoned them.

Chen Shimei, Chen Shimei, look at what a good woman your married wife is and how cruel you are! Not to mention your pair of lovely children.

"Qin Xianglian, get up quickly. The meager support is what Bao Zheng can do. As Bao Zheng is the father-in-law of the court, all the people of the Song Dynasty are Bao Zheng's subjects. It is our government's responsibility to take into account their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It's your duty, please put away your thanks quickly. I'm here to see you today. I still have some details I want to inquire about."

Bao Zheng's words successfully attracted all Qin Xianglian's attention. She stood up and placed the two children on the chairs next to her, then turned and walked back to Bao Zheng.

"Master Bao, please tell me, Xiang Lian knows nothing and has nothing to hide."

At this moment, Qin Xianglian's children started to play over a pen on the table. The children's play interrupted what Bao Zheng was about to say.

When Gongsun Ce saw the two children using the pens on the table as toys to draw circles on each other's faces, he couldn't help but walk over with a smile.

Gongsun Ce took the pen from their hands, looked at them and asked, "Children, do you know what this is?"

The two children answered in unison, "pen"

Then Gongsun Ce asked, "Then do you know what the pen is for?"

The two children answered at the same time again, but this time there was a slight difference. The little boy said writing, but the little girl said drawing!

"Then will you do it?"

Gongsun Ce looked at the two people shaking their heads in unison, and couldn't help but sigh. What two smart children, but it's a pity that they fell into the wrong family and met an irresponsible father.

Bao Zheng and Qin Xianglian both turned to look at the two children who had calmed down, and then turned to Gongsun Ce, who had subdued the two children who were still playing around in just a few minutes.

laughed

After all, children are still children. They are full of innocence and cannot understand the pain of their mother. Perhaps Qin Xianglian did not tell her children that their father no longer wants them.

"So, did you pay for the expense of your husband-in-law's trip to Beijing to take the exam with your own black hair?"

After listening to Qin Xianglian's words, Bao Zheng finally understood why Qin Xianglian always covered her head with a scarf. It must be because the long hair she cut off last autumn had not yet grown back!

A woman grows her hair so that one day someone can let her long hair be tied up high for him. If Qi Gen cuts off the long hair that she was born with, she must have carried a lot of deep love in her heart.

Only when you have the courage to cut it off can you!

"Report, Mr. Bao, Princess Wuyou and the Prince Consort have arrived! They are having tea in the hall now. Do you want to invite them to come to the back hall?"

Just when Bao Zheng was lamenting Qin Xianglian's virtuous virtues, Zhang Long walked in from the outside and said that Zhan Guard had invited the princess and the consort.

"Xianlian, please follow me to the hall to meet the two distinguished guests. Your husband may fall upon them!"

After Gongsun Ce heard Master Bao's words, he took Qin Xianglian's children to the left and the right and walked outside behind them.

"Mr. Xianggong..."

As soon as he stepped into the hall of Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng led Qin Xianglian and bowed down to Liu Qianqian and Zhang Hao. But when they were ordered to get up, Qin Xianglian just glanced at Zhang Hao who was sitting on top.

, he couldn’t help but murmured, “My husband came out.”

When Bao Zheng saw Qin Xianglian, who was about to burst into tears again, he quickly searched for a topic in his mind. But before he could speak, the two clear and sweet childish cries of "Daddy" interrupted his unspoken words.
