Chapter 273: Competing for the wind and being jealous
Xu Cuiyun lived in the palace for four or five days and finally realized that she was just an ordinary palace maid. She had a low status so low that no one could offend anything, and had to do everything by herself.
Even if he gave Zhu Yunwen and the Xu family ten thousand courage, he would not dare to marry concubines or beautiful girls at the critical moment when the emperor was about to die. Naturally, he sent her in under the name of a new palace maid. As soon as the two maids who came to dowry were sent to the washing clothes bureau, they were not qualified to be served because of their humble palace maids.
The reason why Zhu Yunwen agreed was to show kindness to Xu Ji and his son that he lived in the Ganqing Palace these days and didn’t have time to pay attention to Xu Cuiyun.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Xu Cuiyun was rushed to live with other palace maids on the sixth day, responsible for sweeping the floor and boiling water and other rough chores.
At this point, Xu Cuiyun could only accept his fate and started to do rough work with self-pity. How could the dignified Miss Xu be like this? She was ridiculed and scolded by the little eunuchs and palace maids all day long, and she was crowded with her at night. The snoring one after another made people unable to sleep, and she cried all night.
The best place to go to Qinhuai River now is naturally Yang Qianer’s Qunfang Pavilion. Not only are the famous three girls of Jinling gathered together, but there are more than 50 popular fan sisters. There is only one family in the world without any semicolon.
In the evening, Xu Ji changed into a long essay gown and rushed straight to the scene with a group of personal guards. The madam took him in with a smile.
In the private room, several servants lined up the Eight Immortals table, putting hand boxes filled with rare fruits, a few pairs of chopsticks, a pot of fragrant tea, a pot of good wine and a pair of small golden bells.
Xu Ji reached out and exposed a red gold dragon-headed hairpin from his sleeve, with a Han jade arhat embedded in the middle. It was of great value, and the madam's eyes lit up and thanked him and accepted it.
"Can I have a spring breeze with Lian'er tonight?" Xu Ji smiled and picked up the wine glass. "I have been there more than a dozen times, and I have fulfilled my sincerity. Tell me how much money I can go home with me?"
The madam smiled and said, "Eat a cup first! I have long praised my brother's family background, identity, talent and fame, but Lian'er was arrogant and arrogant and did not spit out, and only said that she would care about you for 20,000 taels, and she would not marry if she was not a lover."
Xu Ji drank three cups of wine in a generous manner and said seriously: "Xu is really sincere to her. I haven't come to visit her every night for so many days? I haven't even touched my little hand. It's really the one who likes her."
"The sincerity of my brother is moving, and my mother thanks for her daughter." The madam smiled and said, "On that day, Lian'er, based on her beauty and talent, Wen Mo and Zhuxian were given the name of her white-clothed minister. She served with the three girls for a few days. Although it was not washed by Mr. Xu, she could also be called a daughter with a famous utensil. She could not be compared to her usual pink head. All the wore gold, silver and gems, antique jade calligraphy and paintings given by scholars and nobles were piled up like mountains. I think the thin horse in Suhang still costs one or two thousand gold, let alone her?"
Xu Ji raised his head and ate another cup, his face became gloomy. He had only a thousand taels of silver on his hands, and he immediately said angrily: "Don't forget that I am the Jinyiwei, only two thousand taels of silver. If you don't want your folk pavilion, you will simply close the door. Xu Hao is my brother. It's really outrageous."
The madam hurriedly said, "Oh! It turned out that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple. Since it was Mr. Xu's brother, the mother would make the decision for her daughter, but she had to follow the rules in the yard."
Xu Ji turned back to joy and ate another cup without realizing it. He smiled with a bit of drunkenness: "I understand, isn't it just a gift, a wedding, a thank you gift, and a relative of his family, who add boxes and congratulate him, and at least thirty tables of banquets, and rewards and weddings, and then add three or five hundred taels of silver. What's that?"
"Brother is indeed an expert." The madam giggled and immediately asked the servant to get a lucky day for the ceremony. "In another ten days, the wedding will be a good luck. What do you think?"
Xu Ji said with an itchy feeling: "It's OK, but I have to invite Lian'er to accompany me to have a glass of wine and sing a song tonight?"
"That's not possible. Rules are rules. How can we meet before we get married?" The madam deliberately looked stern and smiled, "Mom, please call you a beauty."
"Forget it, just call me a singer."
Xu Ji really liked that Chu Lian'er. His beauty and talent were much better than his wife and a concubine. He didn't expect that this hurdle made Lian'er jealous. The madam smiled and said, "Wait and then turned around and went out."
Just as someone was drinking by himself, he heard the laughter from the next door, and Xu Ji's face changed slightly, and he got up and walked to the wall.
"This yard is just a fucking self-important value. "Biaozi" means "Biaozi" really thinks it is a lady from a family? The young master broke into the door directly. At first, Chu Lian'er was reluctant and was pressed on the bed and enjoyed it all. Isn't it that he screamed?"
"Haha! I heard that Xu Ji likes Chu Lian'er very much. Now the soup was eaten by the young master. The young master said that he would ask us to go there together after he had enough fun, and put more than a dozen cuckolds on Xu Ji, and be a living turtle for the rest of his life."
Xu Ji's face changed drastically, and his lungs were about to burst into anger. He turned around and kicked the door open, shouting to his subordinates: "Beat all the bastards next door to death and throw them all into the Qinhuai River."
After saying that, he grabbed the embroidery sword from the guard's waist and rushed into the air with anger. He knocked over many guests and maids along the way. He was in a mess and ran around in front of Chu Lian'er's embroidery room downstairs.
The thin blade easily reached in and cut the door bolt off with one knife. Xu Ji, who was murderous, pushed open the door and walked in with the knife. He walked around the screen and suddenly became furious.
Chu Lian'er, who was unable to see her eyes closed with tears on her face, knelt on the bed with her hands and feet, and her butt was high. As she moved, her two white and tender chests were rising and falling, and a big hand was pressed on it and kneading her to the direction she came in just in front of her.
Xu Jingqin was panting and knelt behind the beauty, pressing Lian'er's fragrant back with one hand, and groaned and exerted force forward and back.
"Xu Jingqin, you beast, I'll take your life." Xu Ji, who was half drunk, looked at it and looked up angrily and slashed it.
"Ah!" Chu Lian'er was so scared that she collapsed on the collapse. Xu Jingqin hurriedly leaned back and shouted, "Come on! I'm killing."
Xu Ji shook his head with a knife. Even if he was drunk, he knew that he could not kill the other party. Xu Jingqin was his cousin, with an official position on his side.
But when he saw the weapon standing up under Xu Jingqin's crotch with vermilion blood, Weng's mind was confused. He suddenly didn't care about anything and slashed it with a diagonal knife.
Then many people arrived, and heard a sharp scream from inside. They rushed in and took a look. Xu Jingqin covered her crotch and howled and rolled back and forth on the couch. Blood flowed out through her fingers. The words on the snow-white bed sheet were shocking.
The servants of the Duke of Wei were angry. They came forward and wanted to fight for Xu Ji's desperate efforts. The people on Xu Ji were not willing to be outdone, so they pulled out their weapons and rushed forward, fighting into a group of people.
In the end, several people on both sides were seriously injured, and the lamp holder was pushed down. The room was covered in mess and dark, under the faint moonlight. Chu Lian'er, who was affected by the fish in the pond, squatted in the corner with blood all over her body, shivering.
Xu Ji, who woke up, shouted: "Stop it, go and find the imperial physician to bandage your cousin, uh?"
Xu Ji slowly lowered his head in disbelief, and a small blade reflecting the light appeared in the darkness in front of his chest. He opened his mouth and did not spit out a word, and died on the spot.
Half an hour later, Xu Yaozu rushed over with a hurry on his horse, and the dark-faced Xu Wen waved his hand and ordered hundreds of Jinyiwei to rush into Qunfang Pavilion.
Xu Yaozu turned over and got off the horse and walked into the hall in three steps, and saw Xu Ji lying on the ground with his eyes open.
"My son!" Xu Yaozu knelt beside the corpse in tears, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
"Jingqin and Jingqin." Xu Huizu's roar came from inside, and his only son Xu Jingqin died of blood due to excessive injuries and was unable to treat them.
At this moment, it was the enemy who met and was extremely jealous. Xu Yaozu roared: "Take them all up and go to the death row prison of the Ministry of Justice."
Xu Huizu, who was holding his son's body, looked ashen, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He said angrily: "Who dares?"
Xu Yaozu gritted his teeth and said, "I actually killed my son and arrested him."
"Dare you dare to capture me?" Xu Huizu was furious in his heart, but he still suppressed his murderous intent and said coldly: "The person who came tied up their father and son, and went to the palace to face the saint together with the murderer's body."
"Who dares?"
This time it was Xu Wen's turn to shout, pull out the Xiuchun Sword and bring his men to meet him. The fifty soldiers who had been fighting against Xu Yaozu pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword with disdain, and the Jinyiwei who were rampant around the world suddenly became weak.
Seeing his subordinates' fearful appearance, Xu Yaozu woke up in shock. How could he compare with his cousin who was a dignified Duke of Wei and his cousin who was appointed as the left governor? If he met the emperor, his son and cousin died together because of jealousy. At most, the two families would only beat fifty slaughter each.
The most annoying thing is that his dead son is the crown prince's confidant, and the remaining father and son are just as close to Zhu Yunwen. After all, Xu Yaozu and Xu Wen, as officials of the Jinyiwei, are inconvenient to openly have close contacts with the East Palace.
What should I fight with Xu Huizu after His Majesty’s death? The First Duke’s Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Huizu, as the highest military general, has a far superior position, and is far from comparable to his own status. Moreover, he has always been respectful and loyal to Zhu Yunwen, and has the support of the Yan Palace. The Xu family’s relatives and friends are all over the court and the country.
The weak father and son can count on their family without their family. The foundation is not deep, so they can be said to be alone in the court. Just like when they surrendered to Lan Yu, they would be dismissed by Xu Huizu in a blink of an eye and even their family would be destroyed. Even if they could not die, they would be humiliated by Xu Huizu for the rest of their lives, just like a dog that had to hide at home.
