Chapter 811 Contempt
Mrs. Zeng had already said this, and it would be very foolish of her to continue making noises about going with Chu Yuexi.
Besides, the elder in the family and the younger in the family. With Chu Yuexi gone, she is the only one left who can take charge. If she leaves, she cannot leave the children and such a large mansion to the care of her sick grandmother. Bar.
Princess Qinghui had no choice but to send Chu Yuexi away reluctantly, and stayed on her own.
Fortunately, two days later, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi moved into Chu's house with two little buns in their arms.
With the addition of two children and the Chu Yu couple, the house suddenly became lively, blowing away the deserted feeling left after Chu Yuexi left.
Dalang Erlang was very happy to see two more little brothers playing with them. After breakfast every day, he would come to play with the little brothers.
Da Lang can walk and run, and runs to Xia Zihan's yard several times every day. Erlang is young, but he has also begun to know that he wants to find friends to play with. When he doesn't see Da Lang, he will babble and mess around. After calling him, the maid and wet nurse will carry him to find the big man.
Xia Zihan's yard is as lively as a market every day, and you can hear Dalang Erlang's laughter all day long.
However, every time Da Lang saw the two little buns with sullen faces, neither laughing nor making trouble, Da Lang would hold Xia Zihan's hand and say, "Auntie, is the little brother angry? Why aren’t you smiling?”
"The little brother isn't angry. They are still young and haven't learned to laugh yet." Xia Zihan tried to find an excuse to explain to Dalang.
Oh, forgive her for lying. She really didn't know how to explain to the children that the two little buns she gave birth to were just like their father and were born not to laugh.
Dalang said oh, I understand.
Then, Da Lang came to teach his two younger brothers to laugh every day. He laughed so hard that his face almost cramped, and he didn't see the two little buns complimenting him. I don't even know if it was Xia Zihan's imagination, but she seemed to be between them. There was contempt in the little bun's eyes.
Well, just contempt.
Will a two-month-old child despise people?
Sure enough, the boss Baozi looked at Dalang with contempt again, then turned his head away, looked at Xia Zihan, stretched out his white and tender hand, and asked Xia Zihan to hug him.
Since arriving at Chu's house, Xia Zihan would take Little Baozi to accompany Mr. Zeng every morning. When Mr. Zeng was taking a nap, he would take them back to the yard to play with Mr. Erlang.
The two little buns slept a lot, and went to Zeng's yard every morning to sleep. But in the afternoon, when Zeng took a nap, the two little buns stopped sleeping and watched the older man Erlang playing.
And every time at this time, the two little buns would want Xia Zihan to hug them, especially Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan had a milky scent, and Little Baozi especially liked to smell it. Several times, when she was holding Little Baozi, Little Baozi would rub her breasts with his mouth, trying to suck her milk. However, Chu Jingqi made her face black He picked them up and threw them to the wet nurse.
Little Baozi didn't cry, he just looked at Xia Zihan aggrievedly, which made Xia Zihan couldn't bear it and wanted to give them a bite.
Chu Jingqi glared, and Xia Zihan retracted the thought.
At night, Chu Jingqi pressed her down and warned her sternly, "Don't let those two brats eat my food, otherwise, I will send them back to Prince Anjun's Mansion."
Please, this is your son's ration, okay. When did it become yours? Xia Zihan wanted to refute, but she didn't dare.
Chu Jingqi, this bastard, once he gets serious, he has to press her down on the bed and make her unable to get up for three days.
The idea of secretly feeding his son a few bites behind his back was decisively nipped in the cradle by Xia Zihan.
By the end of June, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to capture Zhang Wenzu in the northwest came back. This time, a total of more than 600 people were arrested. In addition to the nine generations of the Zhang family, there were also several large families who were married to the Zhang family. They arrested them all.
Not only were people arrested, but all the properties of several big families were also confiscated. One million taels of cash, gold, silver, jewelry, antique jade, and forty or fifty large boxes were also confiscated
When the imperial envoy returned to Beijing, there were not only more than 600 prisoners in the team, but also more than 80 carriages transporting property.
Zhang Zhi was also thrown to the imperial envoy in advance by the people on the first floor of the world. However, although Zhang Zhi was still alive at the time, his hands were tortured by the double brakes of heaven and earth and became disabled.
On the second day after a group of prisoners from the Zhang family were escorted to the capital, the emperor issued an order that all the principal criminals beheaded in public display, and all the accomplices were exiled three thousand miles away.
Xia Zihan also took Chu Jingqi and went to watch the scene with Princess Qinghui.
Those who were beheaded in total included Zhang Wenzu's brothers and Zhang Zhi, as well as several heads of his in-law families, the son-in-law of the Zhang family, the head of the Si family and his son.
Seeing Zhang Wenzu with a decadent look on his face, Xia Zihan smoothed his bangs hanging in front of his forehead and raised a smile on his lips.
Princess Qinghui whispered the gossip she heard from her mother-in-law, "Zhang Wenzu has been the magistrate of Sun City for more than ten years, and has the entire Sun City in his hands. I heard that he is called "Zhang Wenzu" by the local people. For the local emperor, the local people They are all very afraid of him and would not dare to go to the government office to fight a lawsuit. Even if Zhang Wenzu loses a penny of his wealth in a lawsuit, the local people usually resolve matters privately. "< br>
"Oh, also, my father said that in recent years, Zhang Wenzu privately sold all the grains distributed by the imperial court to his son-in-law's family, who then sold them to the common people. The price was set by the imperial court. Double, I heard, this year , they can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver by earning the difference in grain prices. Over the years, Zhang Wenzu has made a lot of money by doing other things. When the imperial envoy raided Zhang's house, there were dozens of boxes of silver, worth millions of taels of silver. ”
Her father said that when her cousin heard this amount, the corners of his mouth broke with joy, saying that there was another increase in the treasury.
However, after being happy for a while, he began to feel sorry for the people in the northwest, so the emperor issued a decree that the people in Sun City would be free of money to buy grain for three years.
"The imperial edict has been issued. I sent someone to Sun City early this morning. I estimate that the people of Sun City will now regard my cousin as a god."
Princess Qinghui said, her happy face smiling as pretty as a flower. Xia Zihan looked sideways, but accidentally saw a familiar face that he had not seen for a long time.
Ao Tianchen walked over with Princess Mingzhu and greeted them with a smile, "Crown Prince Chu, Chu Yu, Qinghui, why are you standing here looking? There are chairs over there, go and sit down."
When Anjun Prince's Mansion held a full-moon banquet for Little Baozi, Ao Tianchen also went there. However, he was a male guest. After entering the gate, he was greeted by the servants and taken to the banquet in the front yard. Xia Zihan was not seen.
I didn't expect to see her today. .
