Wang Qi’s plan was very good. On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, fellow Taoists set out for Wuchang Prefecture and came back around the year before the Lunar New Year. In addition to the four or five days on the road, they could also stay in Wuchang Prefecture for three or five days to eat, drink and have fun.
enough.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change. Everything for going out was ready, the carriage and the people following him were also arranged. He was just about to go out to find Taoist Chi and see how the preparations were.
But as soon as he reached the front yard, he saw two chamberlains and several palace guards entering the gate, and was led to the front hall by his cousin.
The two chamberlains were none other than Huang Jin and Lu Fang who were beside the prince.
They came here to convey a message. The Crown Prince invited Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang to go to the palace.
When the prince summoned him, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang tidied up and left the house. When the two elders came back, it was already evening. Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and swollen, and Mrs. Wang suddenly looked much older.
Wang Qi sensed something was wrong, and before she could approach her cousin to inquire, she saw her cousin coming looking for him with red eyes.
Wang Qi stepped forward cautiously and said, "Brother, what's wrong? Is... my aunt sick?"
Wang Zhen nodded and said in a low voice: "Qilang, my aunt's condition is not very good. The doctor said that it will only last a few days. My grandparents want you to enter the palace and stay with your aunt for the last period of time. The princess has already asked Grace to go to her place."
.”
Wang Qi felt like thunder in her head, shaking and hurting.
Mrs. Wang is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Wang. She is only a few years older than the clan eldest son, Sun Wangzhen, and is less than forty years old this year.
Wang Qi's father died and his mother died. Mrs. Wang treated him like a son, so he also treated Mrs. Wang like a mother. The relationship between aunt and nephew is the best.
Although Mrs. Wang's health was not very good after the second princess died eight years ago, no one expected that she would not be able to hold on.
Wang Qi's eye circles immediately turned red: "How could it be bad? I went to see my aunt before the holiday. How can I say I'm sick?"
Wang Zhendao: "I heard from my grandfather that my aunt has been in poor health for a long time. She has been taking medicine every day in the past few years. It is not easy to survive until today."
Wang Qi lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and said hoarsely: "Okay, I will go to the palace to see my aunt. My eldest brother will help me cancel my trip tomorrow and let someone tell Erlang."
When encountering such a big event, he couldn't think of wandering around. He wished he could fly to the palace immediately.
There is an old saying among the people that "the end of the year is sad". In addition to the market custom of clearing debts before the year, there is also the twelfth lunar month which is the most difficult for the elderly, weak and sick. Many patients who have been suffering for many years can survive the twelfth lunar month.
A year of peace, if you can't survive it, you'll end up with it.
Mrs. Wang has arranged to ask her mother-in-law's family to give her last words. It must be the doctor who has spoken, and all she has to do is to endure the day...
Dao Chi got the news that day and came to the clan house to see Wang Zhen.
Originally, he was thinking about returning to the palace to visit Mrs. Wang, but when he arrived at the clan house, he knew that except for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang only summoned Wang Qi, and not even Wang Zhen and other direct nephews had their turn, so he
I gave up my intention to visit.
For people who are seriously ill, having to deal with guests is torture.
Back home, Dao Chi mentioned this matter to Wang Ning, which made the old man sigh.
Mrs. Wang had met Wang Ning several times before she entered the palace. She had the impression that she was a cheerful and good-natured girl, but she did not expect that she would later join the palace. After all, children are evil. If the second princess had not died young, Mrs. Wang would
It won't hurt her body, and she has been depressed so far. Now that she has run out of energy and energy, the people who are cutting her heart are her parents. Poor the old man and his wife, the white-haired man gives away the black-haired man.
After lamenting, the grandfather and grandson were still preparing to celebrate the New Year. It’s not that they were cold-hearted, but the fact was that their grandfather and grandson had never seen Mrs. Wang more than once, and their contact was limited. They were not very sad, but just a little worried.
Wang Qi.
Before Wang Qi left the palace, the next day, the outer nine rooms received two invitations.
One is signed "Nephew Cui Hao" and the other is signed "Nephew-in-law Liu Wanshan". Both have aunt-in-law and call themselves "nephew".
Dao Chi was a little dumbfounded when he saw these two posts. Although it was the first time he heard these two names, the two surnames were familiar. Cui was his biological mother's surname, and Liu was Shun's maiden's surname, which was also his maternal surname in name.
When he entered the courtyard with these two greeting cards, Dao Chi murmured in his heart, it's not the two families he thought of, is it?
When Wang Ning saw the two posts, she was also surprised.
Regarding Zhang who was signed "Liu Wanshan", the old lady said: "This is your uncle. He has the title of Juren. He went to Beijing to take the exam in his early years, and then he lost contact with him..."
After saying this, the old man picked up another one and said: "This Cui Hao should be your biological mother's brother. When you came out, Mr. Hong and I asked about your biological mother's natal family. Now, although the Cui family is in An
There are several other houses in Lu, but they are all cousins across the room. This is the only biological brother of your biological mother. But back then, he was not angry about the fact that your biological mother was a concubine, so he ran away in anger and has not been heard from for many years."
Dao Chi looked at these two greeting cards. The one from the Cui family was gilded, and the one from the Liu family was made of moiré paper that was not common in the market. Judging from the greeting cards alone, it didn't look like they were coming to greet the autumn breeze. This was good.
If you really use the name of your elders to fight against the autumn wind, it will be a headache.
If you visit tomorrow, just visit tomorrow. As a "nephew", I have a hard time waiting...
Compared with the considerate etiquette in the Ninth House, Cui Hao was a bad guest in the Twelfth House.
Not only did he come without warning, but he also had no good feelings towards Wang Qinghong, his cousin, and directly wanted to see Mrs. Wang Cui to talk.
When his cousin who had been missing for more than ten years showed up, Wang Qinghong wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he saw Cui Hao's cold and indifferent look, he couldn't stand up.
Cui Hao didn't even bother to deal with it, and went directly to Wang Cui's side.
Wang Qinghong was worried and wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he followed Uncle Cui to Wang Cui's yard.
When Wang Yang received the news, he just sneered and did not get up. He continued to teach Wu Lang to recite the "Three Character Classic".
Nanny Xu said uneasily: "Madam, why don't you go over and have a look? That person seems to be a bad person."
Wang Yangshi said: "So what if the person who comes here is unkind? Whoever is unkind will go to whom. It's just a pity. This bustle is not good to see. I'd better teach Wu Lang quietly."
Wang Cui's room was indeed very lively.
Mrs. Wang Cui's face turned blue and red, showing no trace of her usual arrogance. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Brother Hao, this is all fate. Your sister is my biological niece, can I still harm her?"
Cui Hao sneered and said: "My aunt didn't harm my sister, who was the one who coaxed her into becoming a concubine? Who promised to give birth to a child and be remembered as a legitimate daughter, and who inherited the twelve-bedroom family property? I thought my sister followed my aunt and finally enjoyed happiness.
I just left without any worries. I didn’t expect that my sister is really lucky.”
Mrs. Wang Cui sighed and said: "Who is willing to do this? Everything is fate and you can't control it at all."
Cui Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "My sister is not blessed enough to have the blessing of a second wife, but she still managed to survive and give birth to a child of the Wang family. I heard that the third son of the Wang family is smart and eager to learn, and my sister is well-known underground, so I should feel relieved."
One sentence made both Wang Cui and Wang Qinghong change their expressions.
Mrs. Wang Cui hurriedly said: "Brother Hao, Sanlang is the son of your cousin-in-law."
Cui Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Sanlang is not my nephew? Then Wulang is my nephew?"
Wang Cui was speechless. Wang Qinghong couldn't help seeing Cui Hao being so angry. He frowned and said, "Wu Lang is only four years old. Your sister has been gone for more than ten years. How could it be your sister's fault?"
Cui Hao looked at Mrs. Wang Cui and said, "It seems that I misunderstood. Could it be that my nephew was also unlucky and left early?"
Wang Qinghong was dissatisfied, but he had no face to talk about Chi Chu's succession in front of Cui Hao.
Mrs. Wang Cui's face was much calmer now. She raised her head and said to Cui Hao: "Since you came here to find me, you have already inquired about it. What's the point of saying this... Speaking of which, this child is not being treated well.
"Young Master, they all have their own reasons. You are the child's biological uncle, and such a big event as the birth of a child should not go past you. But there was no news from you at the time, so we couldn't discuss it if we wanted to."
Cui Hao was so angry that he laughed back and said, "Tell me, aunt, what is the reason that caused my aunt to break her trust with the deceased and cause the issue of succession?"
Mrs. Wang Cui's eyes showed a bit of sadness, and she repeated the words of the Eight-Character Chunyang. The matter of succession became a careful arrangement of the Twelfth House. Otherwise, Wang Jin, as a commoner, would not be qualified to enter.
Wangfu companion reading.
Mrs. Wang Cui spoke confidently, and Wang Qinghong stood beside her, and her body became straighter.
Cui Hao clapped his hands and said: "You are really my good aunt, you are really my good aunt! I am afraid that my sister is secretly aware of it, so I have to thank my aunt for her love. It turns out that my sister is so important in my aunt's heart that she has surpassed her own grandson. For my sister
Because of it, my grandson can throw it away. And this is the first time I heard that a low-ranking official in the palace has a better future than an official career in the imperial examination. I heard that my aunt’s most important eldest grandson, why didn’t I send Wang Sanlang away?
To the palace?"
Mrs. Wang Cui's face turned pale and her body was shaky after being said.
Wang Qinghong saw this, hurriedly stepped forward to support him, frowned at Cui Hao and said: "Okay, how to treat Wang Jin is my family's business, Cui Hao, you can do it."
After hearing this, Cui Hao stood up, looked at Wang Cui who didn't dare to look at him, and then at Wang Qinghong who was impatient. He gritted his teeth and said, "I finally see what 'treachery' is. God has eyes."
, there will always be retribution! My sister was deceived into the house by you in the name of an heir, and was forced to live in a side room. As a result, not only did she lose her life, but the blood she left behind was trampled on by you. If my sister knew about it, she would curse it with me.
You twelve brothers will have no descendants as soon as possible!"
He was extremely angry and hateful, and his expression was already ferocious.
After saying this, he strode out of the house without waiting for Wang Cui's mother and son to react.
Mrs. Wang Cui's face turned pale and her body was trembling slightly, obviously frightened by this vicious curse.
Wang Qinghong also had a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.
After Cui Hao walked out of Room 12, he looked back at the door plaque of Room 12, with undisguised hatred on his face...
