Chapter 289 Palm!
The next morning, the Queen Mother sent a message leisurely: "If you look down on me, then don't be a subject of my Situ family. Go away!"
Both of them were old, and after a night of kneeling as punishment, they were already exhausted and wanted to die.
After hearing these words, he finally realized that Princess Yimin had actually won the favor of the Empress Dowager. He was horrified and regretful, and he kowtowed and cried, confessing his guilt and begging for mercy.
Feng Ziying had also stood up by now, and while she was cleaning her teeth, tying her hair and straightening her clothes, she was looking out the window at the excitement.
There was a sound inside that dinner was ready.
Feng Ziying simply brought a large bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and two large meat buns and squatted next to the two people.
While eating the buns, he "chatted" with them: "The Queen Mother was very angry last night.
"The wife of the Governor-General of Liangjiang presented more than a dozen dishes, but the Empress Dowager didn't eat a single bite.
"I heard that the people at Madam Ding's restaurant were waiting for this dish to be delivered, and immediately put it up as the Empress Dowager's favorite dish, so that they could make a few taels of silver before the New Year.
"Now, the Queen Mother has not eaten a single bite, and the Princess and the County Lady have been crying for half the night. What should we do?"
The two of them had been cold and hungry all night, and their stomachs were growling at the smell of the spicy soup, not to mention the aroma of the meat buns.
The greasy and even slightly fishy smell, coupled with the slightly spicy kick of scallions, ginger, and nepeta tenuifolia added to remove the fishy smell and greasiness, made me cover my face at the mere smell of it in the past, but now it is particularly tempting!
One person's nostrils twitched as he swallowed.
The other person stared at the bun in Feng Ziying's hand with greedy eyes!
However, the two people clearly heard in their ears:
Because he and others neglected Princess Yimin, the Queen Mother was so angry that she refused to eat, resulting in the Governor-General's wife Zhen's restaurant losing a large amount of income that was originally a sure thing!
One of them suddenly raised his head, his face pale, and his voice trembling: "Brother Feng, at least, Brother Zhen who went to our house is your good friend.
"Can't you really say a few good words for us in front of the Queen Mother?
"It was our fault yesterday. We were so confused and blinded by greed that we forgot that the county lady was the adopted daughter of the empress dowager. We only thought of her as a concubine's daughter who was expelled from our family..."
Feng Ziying's face turned cold, he stood up, and strode away with the bowl in his hand!
The two men were getting anxious and were about to shout when another guard stood up, wiped his teeth, spat on the ground, and sneered:
"He has behaved like this, and has even begged for mercy, yet he is still destroying the county lady's reputation in this way!
"Yes! Your Jia family is so capable! You raise such wonderful girls!
"Even a concubine's daughter who was expelled from your family and had no roots or background, the Empress Dowager picked her up as a treasure, adopted her as her adopted daughter, and made her a county princess. The title was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor himself!
"Your family is more powerful than the Queen Mother, and more capable than the Emperor! Who are you afraid of?
"Let's go! There is the sea just down the river. Let's go straight out to the sea and find an island country for ourselves!
"Or we can go up the river! Beyond Shuchuan, we will reach Tibet and the Greater and Lesser Jinchuan! Those places are also good, we can just pay tribute and declare ourselves king."
The more I say this, the harder it sounds.
It actually directly implied that the Jia family was going to rebel!
The two were so frightened that they dared not hold on any longer and fell to the ground with their hands and cried:
"We didn't want to make a scene! Where would we get the courage to do that?
"It's Rong'er! No, no, no, it's Jia Rong!
"After all, he is the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family, and his grandfather is still alive. Who knows when he will come out to support him!
"He promised us that each family would be given an additional 40 acres of good farmland in the future!
"They also said that the Queen Mother treated the Princess only out of respect, and that the Princess could not have the surname Chen, nor could she be included in the Chen family tree, and that she had to return to the Jia family.
"We saw that the county lady had the patience to knock on the door for a quarter of an hour before returning home, so we mustered up the courage to do as Jia Rong said!
"We are tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, and we have no grudges against the county lady in the past or the present, so why should we make things difficult for her?!"
The two of them cried together.
Daiyu was serving breakfast to the empress dowager. She became very impatient when she heard the crying and yelling at Qingwen:
"Are you deaf?! And you don't care! Can't you wait for me to go out and talk?!"
Qingwen hurriedly ran out holding up her skirt, stood at the door, stepped aside, waved, and called a guard over, and whispered a few words to him.
The guard nodded hurriedly, strode over, and without listening to their nonsense, he picked them up one by one in each hand and dragged them straight to the door of the weaving house!
"I didn't eat last night because the Queen Mother was so angry. I got up early in the morning and made a lot of noise, which ruined her appetite!
"We can't control you people from outside the world! Please!"
Just throw it out and close the door!
That was not all. Qingwen called the second imperial guard over, leaned over and whispered something in her ear.
The guard nodded in agreement, picked up four buns, and ate them as he walked out. When he reached the gate, he finished his buns, clapped his hands, led the horse over, jumped on it, and headed straight for the Jiangning County Government Office.
The two men sat slumped outside the weaving house, looking at each other stupidly. Seeing that no one really paid attention to them, they asked in confusion:
"Is it really just a matter of kneeling for a night and that's it?"
"No way! Aren't they almost accusing us of being the masterminds of a rebellion? How can they let us go so easily?"
The two of them helped each other to get up, and couldn't help but want to knock on the door of the weaving house again.
Just then, the head of the weaving house, Gu Yong, came to the yamen to do his duty. Seeing the two men being so rude, he could not help but frown and shout:
"Can you knock on the door of the weaving government office casually?"
He simply ordered his men to pull them aside, pin them down, hit them each with five boards, and then threw them farther away.
When the two of them hired a car to return to the Jia Mansion, someone came to tell them:
"Yesterday, the Yimin County Lady came again! She said that she didn't have a good time talking to the You family's eldest lady yesterday, so she came uninvited!
"Since the two of them ridiculed her yesterday, it was no big deal, so today the two brothers of the Yu generation followed suit and said a few words as well.
"But today, that bitch turned hostile! She even ordered the royal guards to slap the two of them in the face!
"How could my family be willing to do that? They started to make a fuss.
"The eldest lady of the You family actually helped her suppress everyone! Of course, she was also contradicted. The concubine even ordered people to slap the faces of those who contradicted her!
"Now the main hall is full of people who have been beaten, and they are screaming miserably!
"You two finally got back! Go and suppress the rebellion!"
The two of them now understood why the guards had simply kicked them out without imposing any other punishment!
This means that the punishment for the two of them will be left for Princess Yimin to vent herself!
He was immediately frightened and turned pale!
