Chapter 461 discussing relatives (two chapters in one)
"In other words, the punishment Shi Ting suffered cannot be regarded as a real castration, right?" Yan Xuehuai's big eyes were full of desire for knowledge.
Chai Yan regretted it, why did he say this?
I finally got along alone with Cilantro, is it good to talk about love and love?
He gritted his teeth and said "Hmm".
The sound was wearing a strong nasal sound, not a cold, but just ambiguous.
Yan Xuehuai glanced at him sideways, her beautiful eyes shimmering like spring water: "Since it's not a castration, do you want him to be a eunuch? But I heard that eunuchs have some specialties in purifying their bodies, and they have to apply medicine after cutting them with one knife. Everyone in Pingcheng knows this."
When Wei Ming formed the Nei Cao Army, everyone in Pingcheng was in danger, so he had already found out the details of his body cleansing.
"Yeah." Another yelled, and it was also vague.
Yan Xuehuai's eyes turned, and she had a guess, and her mouth curled up, continuing the topic just now: "Shiting obviously had never been given medicine, no incense ash, nor did he apply medicine, so he was neither castrated nor eunuch, so what's going on?"
Chai Yan simply turned his face away and pretended to look at a pot of flowers on the windowsill.
"Oh, I heard that if a lustful person is caught by a woman's family, he will cut off his descendants with one knife, so that he will not be able to survive or die. Of course, this is only found in rural areas, and it is just a legend, legend, legend."
Yan Xuehuai's voice was delicate and soft. Chai Yan couldn't help it anymore. He would say it, otherwise it would be better for him to say it himself if he continued to dig up Coriander like this.
"The information I found out, the reason why Shiting was able to get involved with King Fu was because he escaped from Bailu Mountain with King Fu. However, I didn't connect two things at the beginning. I only thought of it when I heard you."
Yan Xuehuai widened her eyes. She knew about King Fu in Bailu Mountain. Chai Yan's plan forced King Fu to Bailu Mountain, but what happened to Shiting was also in Bailu Mountain?
Even Wei Ming is a eunuch in Bailu Mountain. Although King Fu is not a eunuch, he is a half-district old man who is trapped in Bailu Mountain.
But Shiting... is young, handsome, young and handsome, with a face.
Yan Xuehuai looked at Chai Yan sympathetically. The one living on Bailu Mountain was Chai Yan's grandmother!
She walked over, patted Chai Yan on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "The Empress Dowager has become a monk, and this matter has been over. Let's not mention it again."
Chai Yan: Then you can say the four words "The Empress Dowager"?
Seeing that Yan Xuehuai was finally about to turn the article, Chai Yan shook his head. He should not think about this matter and just pretend that he had never heard of it.
"It's almost a month since the marriage of the prince. My aunt is coming back to live in Tsukiyue, right?" After living in Tsukiyue, Li Qiniang said it was time to enter the palace. At that time, the various procedures for the marriage between the two were about to officially start.
"Then do you know why the castration requires goose feathers? Where to insert it? Can it be replaced with duck feathers?" Yan Xuehuai's thoughts could fly, and she had not yet flew back.
Chai Yan...
Can we stop talking about this issue?
A few days later, the two princes finally moved out of the Duke's Mansion. There were actually people in the prince's mansion, with a total of three, one of which was from the kitchen.
Fortunately, Chai Yan had never had a meal in the mansion since he was divided. Even the dim sum was rewarded by the Queen in his mansion, so the chef never had a chance.
Chai Yan felt glad, but the second prince wanted to cry.
Chai Yan had never eaten food in the kitchen, but he had eaten it, and he ate it every day. According to the details found, the small cold dish he liked was made by the chef.
The reason why he is still alive is not because he is lucky, but because the target of those people is not him. People have never thought of letting him die, but wanting him to live and cause trouble for the emperor.
The Duan Prince's Mansion was also found out, and the investigation was quite tortuous.
King Duan raised more than a dozen good horses, each with his own saddle, and the poison was hidden in the saddles of two of them. The two horses were his favorite and he used to ride them. In recent days, he has been riding more often and rarely rode his horses. He miraculously avoided a disaster. When Princess Duan was happy, she donated a thousand taels of silver than the temple. This is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva.
The first person who was suspected was the horsewoman, but if he found out that King Duan had not ridden these two horses for a while, he could continue to poison the saddles of other horses at any time. Therefore, the poisoned person is probably not a horsewoman.
There were six horsemen, and the person he found was the brother-in-law of one of the horsemen. This brother-in-law was a sloppy servant in charge of cleaning in the mansion. He would occasionally go to the garden where horses were raised to find his brother-in-law. When he was caught, he was about to escape. There were two other accomplices he confessed to, one of them was the palace maid sent from the palace. The palace maid almost entered Princess Duan's yard.
Another one was also assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was an eunuch who was responsible for managing flowers and trees. He had already committed suicide when he found it.
Although there was no clue in the Duke's mansion, after discussing with Qi Wei, Li Qiniang checked the new people in the mansion several times. She replaced all the vague identities and origins. The mansion had insufficient staff and could buy them slowly.
Li Qiniang also divided the three families she brought to, some stayed in the inner courtyard, some sent to the outer courtyard, and some went to the village and shop. After these matters were handled properly, it was already a month since Li Qiniang and Qi Wei got married, and she returned to Qingping Lane to live in the moon.
As soon as Li Qiniang settled down, someone came to the palace. The queen sent two nannies over, saying that she heard that there were many people out of the Duke's mansion and was worried that there were no one around her, so she sent two people to help.
Li Qiniang smiled bitterly. Will she dare to use the person sent by the queen?
After another question, these two nannies, one of whom was surnamed Zhuo and the other was surnamed Lan, were both old men from Prince Yu's mansion, and one of them had served the princess.
Li Qiniang understood that this was not for her to serve, but for her to teach etiquette and rules, and for her daughter.
If it is an ordinary family, the two families have just started discussing marriage, and the in-laws will send them to raise the nanny. This is disrespectful to the woman, implying that the woman’s family tutoring is not strict and her daughter has no rules.
But if one of the parties is replaced by a royal family, the situation will be different.
This is not disrespect, but grace. Not only can one not be unhappy, but one must also enter the palace to thank for gratitude.
Li Qiniang originally planned to enter the palace after living in the moonlight. Now she is ready and will enter the palace tomorrow.
The queen was already impatient to wait.
When Qi Wei came over, Li Qiniang told him about this. Qi Wei sighed. Although he didn't want to marry his daughter into the royal family, he could only accept it now.
Qi Wei used red paper and wrote Yan Xuehuai's birth date and horoscope the next day, Li Qiniang entered the palace and exchanged Geng letter with the queen.
Before Li Qiniang could live in Qingping Lane, the imperial heavenly prison combined the eight characters of Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai, which turned out to be a "combination of heaven" and a top-notch good match.
The queen was very happy, and Li Qiniang was also very happy. Even the head of Zhou Dajia, who came to hear the news, was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
Yan Xuehuai felt that the person involved might be the only person who did not believe it.
But so what if she doesn't believe it, since the moment Li Qiniang took Yu Ruyi in the palace, she and Chai Yan were two props in this matter.
Props with no say.
When Li Qiniang left Qingping Lane and returned to the Duke's Mansion, Zhou Datong and Zhou Hong also left the capital. The place they were going to was Xu Yang. Although Zhou Hong was reluctant and found a hundred excuses, there was only one final result, that is, Zhou Datong himself "escorted" and "supervised" himself.
Li Qiniang was originally very worried about Miss Ruan’s affairs, but Qi Wei told her that as long as she put Miss Ruan under her nose and settled it, Miss Ruan’s identity and origin would be included in him.
Li Qiniang felt relieved, and Zhou Da family accompanied Zhou Hong to Xuyang in person, so Li Qiniang was no longer worried and focused on handling her daughter's marriage.
After Fusheng's reminder last time, Qi Wei found an opportunity and took advantage of Li Qi Niang's happiness to tell Li Qi Niang about Qi Ying's arrival in the capital.
Li Qiniang's first reaction: "Why didn't you pick him up from the mansion? He lives alone outside. What's going on? Is he unwilling to come, or do you not let him come? Where he lives now, I'll pick him up with you."
Qi Wei was warm in his heart, and remembered the words Qi Ying insulted Li Qiniang. He made up his mind and said to Li Qiniang: "He was raised by Chai Shu so much that he didn't know what he said. I sent him to the village to make him suffer and understand the principles of being a human being."
"Zhuangzi? Where is Zhuangzi?" As soon as Qi Wei got married, she handed over her family to Li Qiniang. Although Li Qiniang was not good at inner-house affairs, she was a good at doing business and managing finances.
Although she had just taken over, Li Qiniang already knew the property of the Duke's Mansion. She was about to take some time to turn around the shops in various places near the capital and take a look.
Now when she heard Qi Wei mention Zhuangzi, the first thing she thought of was a closest village to the capital. That place was given by Emperor Gaozong, and fruit trees were planted everywhere. It is said that every spring, peach pink and pear white, and the scenery was very good.
It is approaching Mid-Autumn Festival and it is the harvest season. I think there is another scenery in the village, so it is good for Qi Ying to live there.
"It is a farm that is far away from the capital. It was a disaster in its early years, and later it was moved to the capital and bandits. The nearby farmers moved away, and all the land was deserted. In the past two years, the court called on the broadening of wasteland. I asked Uncle Yang and Uncle Liu from the mansion to take their families over to see it. Unexpectedly, they lived there. First they opened the land by themselves, and then hired people to open the land, which had long exceeded the amount of wasteland given by the imperial court. This spring, I simply asked Uncle Yang and Uncle Liu to come forward, and found the county government and the local lizheng, bought all the nearby wastelands and rented them to the tenants to cultivate. After a while, there was another farmhouse. It was just that it was not enough to have enough food and clothing for the time being, so I didn't have the opportunity to put it in the account book for you."
Li Qiniang was stunned. She never expected that Qi Wei sent Qi Ying over to be such a farm.
"You said there is not enough food and clothing there? That is, you can't even eat?" Li Qiniang asked.
Qi Wei smiled and said, "I said there is not enough food and clothing. It means that there is very little output in the fields, not that I can't eat. I waived the tenants this year's rent. Those tenants farmed for a living. They knew that there would not be much output this year, so they were ready. I waived the rent again. They couldn't make money, but they wouldn't be able to eat. Besides, before we got married, Bo Zhong and Fusheng sent a lot of rice and grain to deal with the needs of time."
Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Qi, "Where is that place? Have you been there?"
Qi Wei shook his head: "I have never been there for more than 200 miles away from the capital."
He smiled and said to Li Qiniang: "If we want to go there and take a look, we need to submit a memorial to the emperor, which is very troublesome."
With Qi Fu's identity, if there is no imperial edict, he cannot leave the capital for a hundred miles. Li Qiniang is now his wife, the wife of a super-ranked Duke. Like him, he cannot leave the capital without authorization. At most, he would wander around within a radius of a hundred miles of the capital.
Qi Wei's words dispelled Li Qiniang's idea of going to see her.
Before Yan Xuehuai's wedding, even if the emperor agreed to leave the capital, the queen would not agree.
Li Qiniang had no choice but to remind: "Then you should send someone to see it, so I'll prepare something and you can send it to me."
"Everything is there, everything there is there, I've arranged it all, you don't have to worry, by the way, Fusheng said Aunt Wen is going back to Pingcheng, will you be busy after she leaves? Are you going to be in charge of Li Shiji?" Qi Wei changed the topic sensibly.
Li Qiniang was indeed brought over by him and said with a smile: "There is an old man there, so I don't have to worry about it. However, if Sister Huai's marriage is arranged properly and Wen Xiu has not come back yet, I still have to go over and take a look."
Qi Wei said, "Okay, when you go to Li Shiji, I will drive the carriage to pick you up as before."
Li Qiniang remembered the scene when Qi Wei went to pick her up for the first time, and she smiled, and before she knew it, she had already fluttered her cheeks.
Since learning that Liu Sixi actually wanted to get into the academy, the prince went to the academy located in Lihua Mountain several times in succession.
Originally, Liu Sixi's affairs were absolutely confidential, but the prince's behavior was too abnormal. The crown prince actually went to his son's school place several times, and it was impossible to think about it or not.
In addition, a large number of handymen were fired from the academy, and those who had children studying in the academy became suspicious.
Originally, there were only two servants and two guards, and the two guards, which doubled. There were more than a dozen people around Lihuashan Academy, and there were more than twenty people.
Qi Wei simply sent ten guards to follow Xiaoman. When he had time, he would go to pick Xiaoman up after school. Even Lu Erye was relieved, so he let Zhou Xiaobai live in the Duke's Mansion.
Since Xiaoman lived in the Duke of the Kingdom, Chai Hao often came over. The three of their strongholds changed from Qingping Lane to Duke of the Kingdom. Chai Hao asked to live in the Duke of the Kingdom several times, but the prince refused. After Qi Wei heard about it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Do you think anyone would welcome the emperor Changsun to live at home?
He does not welcome it.
It was difficult to invite the second prince and the seventh prince away. If the emperor and Changsun moved in again, he would rather take Li Qiniang and Xiaoman to Qingping Lane.
