Chapter 11 Chapter 11: Shi Jianmei Endures Humiliation and Goes Invisible

Ao Bai returned to the mansion, and as soon as the sedan chair got off, his family members came to report: "Master Bumbleshan, Lord Jishi, Lord Taibitu, Second Master, and Fourth Young Master are all waiting for you in the warm pavilion of the East Flower Hall!" Ao Bai Bai coughed lightly and asked in a buzzing voice: "Where's Ye Bilong? Didn't Ye Bilong come to the middle hall?" The family hurriedly replied with an apologetic smile: "Grand Ye Bilong said that he is not in good health, so please come and disturb me some other day." "You old trickster!" Go to the flower hall.He walked along the super-hand corridor, walked squarely, walked all the way, meditated all the way, turned around the family temple, and heard from a distance the shouting and drinking in the warm pavilion of the waterside house. Bumbleshan, Murima, Sabend, Taibitu, Asiha, Ge Chuha, Nemo, Jishi, and a dozen other family members sat or stood nearby.Two kabukis sat at the banquet table enchantingly with their pipas in their arms, one played and the other sang:

If you don't believe this kind of affection, I always suspect that my heart is not true. Holding the red sweat towel in hand to dial the wick, Who said that the slave family is waiting for others? Before the sound fell, there were bursts of clank, bang, bang, bang bang bang bang, and another interface sang: Mischievous little gentleman, You are not allowed to knock on the slave door again! Enemy, if you are not my heart, I have already raised my hand and stabbed you with a silver needle! While singing, he stabbed the mat with his hands like pinching a needle.Everyone couldn't help laughing up and down.Murima smiled strangely, put her face closer and said, "Okay! Okay! My slave, you can prick me with a silver needle!" Everyone burst into laughter again.Jishi and Bumbleshan were both Jinshi and Confucian scholars, but they just covered their mouths to hold back their laughter.

Seeing this group of people gathering together to enjoy themselves, Oboi felt restless, walked in angrily, and drove away the two prostitutes with a wave of his hand: "When is this? You don't discuss big things, but you are in the mood to play whores! " Seeing that his elder brother was unhappy, Murima stepped forward to make fun of him: "Brother, I heard that you got the Fa-rectification today, the three grandsons of Sunahai, we... are really happy!" Aobai snorted and said, "Don't be too happy, maybe one day I will take you with you, and our whole family will mention Xishikou. , if it weren't for the revealing things you did outside, would I be willing to take such a risk?"

Hearing this thoughtless reprimand, Murima felt as if she was in a fog.He hurriedly said, "Me? I didn't do anything!" Obai originally hated him for not being up to date, and for doing one thing badly, seeing his strong mouth getting more and more angry, he said coldly: "What did you do? Rehe enclosure, you instigated a fight between Zhenghongqi and Xianghuangqi Enclosed a piece of land in Huangzhuang! And robbed the daughters of the people, the relatives of the emperor's wet nurse, you see how capable you are!" Then he threw a booklet from his hand, "Take it and see! The emperor is here today! Ask me, it’s so hard for me to answer!”

When Murima heard that it was these two things, she murmured in her heart: "Huh, that's it, what's the matter? How is the emperor's land if the horse can recognize his mother? When you robbed that woman, you Aren’t you happy? If things don’t work out, it’s because you’re afraid of your wife, and now you’re using me as a punching bag!” But, thinking so in his heart, he said in his mouth, “Who’s so cheap, you’re so courageous, sue our men! " Aobai didn't say a word, and sat down slumped while leaning on the chair. Both physically and mentally, he was too tired today.Ji Shi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "The matter is finally over, brother Shi already knew about it, why should Zhongtang be so troubled by it?" Obai glanced at Ji Shi, and said calmly: "The matter is not over. This matter I have already figured it out. On the day Mudi robbed people, the one who came out to fight the injustice was called Wei Dongting. His mother was the emperor's wet nurse. Do you think this matter is so easy to pull down? There is no such thing as a monarch and minister before today, I'm afraid it will be hard to say in the future Is there a place to bury him?"

"Why is there no burial place?" Suddenly someone asked from the back of the hall.Everyone was startled, and when they looked up, it was Oboi's wife, Mrs. Rong, who walked in slowly.She was only about forty years old, holding a hookah in one hand, and smoking it snoringly, and a maid stood behind her holding coals of fire paper to serve her.This maid is Shi Jianmei.Aobai was always afraid of guilt, when he saw that she did not answer her questions, he humbly apologized in front of the guests and his nephews and felt that he would lose face, so he just snorted and sat angrily without saying a word.

Seeing her sister-in-law coming, Murima quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, that's what happened, brother is losing his temper with me about Jianmei." The mud was picked out, and he blew with a puff, and said, "Stop appreciating plums and plums, she is called Suqiu now! Be more elegant--Master, you are already a handful of years old, not Hu Dahai You're getting old, don't think about messy things!" Seeing that Oboi was still silent, Bumble stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ao, this is the end of the matter, and anger is useless. Why don't you think of a perfect solution." Saiben hurriedly said, "Otherwise, Jianmei- ──Oh, Suqiu───Send it back, isn’t it over?”

Bumbleshan giggled and came out to offer advice.This Bumble rare book is the royal family of the Qing emperor, the son of the Duke of Fuguo, Tabai. In terms of seniority, he is still the elder brother of the same family who has not yet served in the fourth service of Kangxi. Instead, he only appointed a third-class Fengguo general, and the whole family relied on worshiping their ancestors to Guanglu Temple every year to receive the hundreds of taels of money to live, feeling a little unhappy.Seeing that he was living poorly, Aobai often helped him.He was very grateful to Oboi for this.He is Oboi's think tank, he has always been known as "Little Bowen", when he heard Sebende say this, he said: "No way! I guess the grand master has already settled this matter and sent it back to others. To show one's weakness, to give others a handle, is tantamount to throwing one's flag down, and besides, Suqiu has not made a fuss about going back here. Mrs. Tai treats her very kindly, and she may not be willing to leave Mrs. Tai---"

"I'm not going to die!" Jianmei who was standing by said suddenly.Everyone was startled when they heard this. "Madam has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, what good is it for them to treat me, whipping me to show my face to perform art, earning money for them, what good virtue!" Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Aobai hurriedly asked, "Isn't Mrs. Sun your relative?" Jianmei sneered, "A relative? If you ask her, I dare to ask her face to face, what kind of relative are we? I am ten years old In a good year, their old Wei's family came to press for debts, forcing my father to throw himself into the river, my mother to hang herself, and the whole family torn up. Mr. Wei said that the father's debts were repaid, and he sold me to the rivers and lakes... Now it's safe What kind of heart, come to recognize relatives! The master and wife sent me away, I dare not disobey, I can end this matter myself!" As she spoke, she started to cry, and Rong hurriedly comforted her: "Suqiu, don't Cry, don't cry, come back with me, I'll see who dares to come to you!" Said, took Jianmei out with one hand.

Watching them go out, Aobai smiled mockingly and said, "Then---if Mr. Ye and Mr. Su ask about this again, how should I answer?" Bumbleshan took out a snuff bottle and sniffed, saying, "Ao Bai Lord, among the four assistants, Sonny will die within a day and a half, Nabilong is all-round and exquisite, and Suke Saha is loyal and foolish. Your Majesty---uh, this is what I think is the most worrying thing. Although the Emperor is a child, he has a lot of scheming and can't be taken lightly. He killed Wu He and killed Wu Liangfu, and got rid of Ao Gong's most reliable Eyes and ears, but this is the family law of the inner court, Ao Gong had no choice but to endure this tone──Then he transferred the surname Wei to walk in front of the imperial court. I heard that the monarch and his ministers have visited several times in private This matter... It's like playing chess, the national players are set up, and they are pressing forward every step of the way!" He paused, and seeing that everyone was listening attentively, he said slowly: "However, the advantage is still in Ao Gong's hands. The three of Su Nahai were punished, and the border officials saw that they were standing up and did not dare to neigh. They all know who is in charge of ups and downs today..." Bumbleshan felt that the following words were hindered, and it was difficult to say, thinking about it Thinking about it, I came up with this sentence: "If the sky has love, the sky will also grow old. Ao Gong should think about it."

Hearing these words, everyone present was as if enlightened, and all of them were terrified and moved.Seben couldn't help but secretly admired Ye Bilong: "If the old guy doesn't come, I'm afraid I'll hear these words." Thinking, he leaned back.Murima was oblivious.Clapping his hands, he said: "Your Excellency sees clearly that this game of chess is lost, and everything is over! According to Your Excellency, what should be the next move?" Bumble smiled but did not answer, and glanced at Oboi .Oboi was meticulous, seeing that Bumbleshan refused to talk any more, he hurriedly changed his words: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, and will never be forgotten. Well, the wine is cold, drink this cup quickly!" While talking, the family brought a yellow box.All the memorials approved by Kangxi on that day were contained in it.According to the practice left by Shunzhi, no one can bring the minister's memorials into the private residence.After Sony's illness, the Empress Dowager gave permission to break the precedent.Now that Sony is critically ill and his life is at stake, this second "exception" has passed into the hands of Ao Bai.Aobai casually took the box, opened it, took out one casually, frowned when he saw it, hesitantly said: "This... this..." Seeing that Aobai was paying so much attention, everyone also gathered together to watch.Aobai handed the booklet to Taibitu and said, "Suksaha, please guard the late emperor's tomb. The emperor has Zhu Zhu, please read it to everyone to see what it means." When they heard that Sukesaha asked to guard the tomb, everyone was surprised and urged Taibitu to read quickly.Taibitu took out a pair of western crystal glasses from his bosom, put them on, cleared his throat and read aloud: "Yu Zhu commented: 'Er Suke Saha received the grace of the country, he is the important minister of the late emperor, and he should do his best to assist me Why do you make such nondescript words? Wang Jie wrote a book discussing politics and asked him what was wrong with me, which made the minister disdain to assist and resigned from government affairs? Want to guard the mausoleum? What kind of persecution does this minister suffer, and he ignores the monarchy?" Taibitu read a sentence, and lifted his glasses to look at everyone.The more Bumbleshan listened, the more doubtful he became, and his frown became tighter. Aobai waved his folding fan and asked, "Zi Weng, what do you think?" Bumbleshan didn't answer, just shook his head.Aobai retreated to the left and right, leaving only Taibitu, Sabende, Ge Chuha, Namo, Jishi, and Murima seven people.Murima has always been dissatisfied with Bumble's goodness, seeing his serious face, she snorted in her heart: "Fake Zhuge!" Seeing that there were no outsiders, Bumble stood up and said, "Borrow the chopsticks in front of Zhongtang, and I will raise it for Zhongtang!" He picked up a chopstick, dipped it in the wine, drew a line on the table and said, "Su Zhongtang is Qi!" I couldn't be bored, so I read the note about asking to guard the mausoleum, and what I said was the truth. Earlier, he complained to the emperor, but was detained. Later, he saw that the three of Su Nahai were killed, and he felt uncomfortable and scared. , that's why I have no choice but to invite the tomb guards." A few words made everyone nod their heads.But he changed his tone, "Where is the emperor, he has other schemes. Just a few words, why should Jie Shu ask instead of Ao Gong? This is one of the suspicious ones." He scratched a line on the table, "No. The first question is just a feint. He has not been in power for a long time, so where is the 'immorality'? If there is, it can only be blamed on Ao Gong." He underlined the second line: "The key lies in the second and third questions. This is what forced Su Kesaha to sue Ao Gong, and then Jie Shu came forward to impeach Ao Gong──This move was steady and fierce, advancing could form a siege, retreating would only throw Su Ke away Saha is an abandoned son, a fourteen-year-old can think of such a thoughtful reconciliation..." He shook his head ponderously, and said slowly, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager is also involved in this matter!" "Little Bowen"'s bone-cutting analysis made everyone present creepy, Ji Shi nodded and sighed: "This sentence is a bit of a catch." For a long time no one spoke again, they were all commenting on the meaning.On the contrary, Oboi looked very calm. After thinking hard for a while, he sneered and said, "Hmph! Although he has a clever calculation, I will eat this abandoned child first, and then I will talk about it with a sigh of relief!" Today, when everyone came to drink this feast, most of them knew about the samadhi in the pot, but none of them expected that the topic would be so explicit and deep.Taibitu was not a member of the circle at first, but Bumblesan invited him to have a drink. Hearing some rebellious words, thinking about the thoughts of these powerful people, I can't help but feel like a thorn in my back. , but at this point in the matter, he couldn't take care of it, so he asked tentatively: "Zhongtang, this chess may not necessarily have to accept discarded pieces. Can you make a move and plead guilty?" Obai knew what he was thinking, so he chuckled and said, "Why, are you afraid? Let me tell you, it's not so easy to bring me down! Just because there is an empress Xiaozhuang who looks like an old man in the palace, a Lagu Su Ma Ladies, there's a weedy Wei Dongting outside, okay? I think Sukesaha's death is coming soon!" He stood up, took a few steps forward, stopped abruptly and ordered decisively: "Zi Weng, I will go to see Jieshu right now, I want to see how heavy the bones of the king of politics are! Ne'er cleans the palace tonight." The guards who were not on duty all came and said that it was my treat—tomorrow, I will definitely show you a good show!" He raised his voice and shouted: "Prepare the sedan chair!"
