After being reborn, the powerful minister's heart is overwhelmed
Chapter 68 So Arrogant!
She is a noble person, but she only needs to kneel down, and she still needs Aunt Miao to take action in person?
But Ning Shunhou didn't want to talk too much. Hearing that Grandma Miao was not there, he hurried to the ancestral hall.
On the other side, Qiao Guxin invited herself to the ancestral hall and knelt down. The holy tablets had been offered for seven days. At this moment, there were no offerings in the ancestral hall, and only the people below were cleaning them every morning, so that it was now cold and cold in the ancestral hall.
Nianxiang shivered as soon as she entered, and naturally brought a futon over for Qiao Guxin.
Qiao Guxin did not kneel on the futon, but knelt directly on the ground and waved her hand for Nianxiang to move the futon aside.
I thought that Ningshun Hou would come to settle accounts with me. If he saw me kneeling here comfortably, wouldn't he not give the Marquis some face?
She raised her head and looked at the tablets of her ancestors. She wondered if her ancestors had blessed her and allowed her to be reborn. At this moment, she kowtowed three times with great respect.
Next to her was the sound of Nianxiang sighing. She must have felt sorry for her master.
But Qiao Guxin's heart was calm and untroubled. She was even glad that she was kneeling in this ancestral hall today. If it was her mother who heard Qiao Xunfeng's words today, maybe it would be her mother who was kneeling here.
But now, it's just a dispute between two girls. As long as their mother's status remains unchanged, they have nothing to lose.
After kneeling for a while, I heard rapid footsteps coming from behind me, and I knew it was Ningshun Hou without looking back.
Compared with Qiao Guxin's calmness, Nianxiang's heart was raised, and she was ready to rush forward to protect Qiao Guxin at any time.
Ning Shunhou walked over with anger all over his body. At a glance, he saw Qiao Guxin kneeling there with the ancestors of the Qiao family above his head.
Those spiritual tablets seemed to be staring at Ning Shunhou with eyes.
For a moment, Ning Shunhou had roots under his feet and could not move even half an inch.
The scene when the old Marquis was about to die reappeared repeatedly in his mind.
My heart suddenly became weak.
"Master Hou?" Mother Miao brought mugwort over and happened to see Ning Shunhou, so she naturally greeted him.
Ning Shunhou turned around with a gloomy face, "Didn't Grandma say that there is a way to get the medicine?"
Aunt Miao seemed stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to remember what Marquis Ning Shun said. Aunt Miao nodded quickly, "If the Marquis needs it, I am willing to go to the palace gate in person."
To show that you take it seriously.
Ning Shunhou was naturally willing to do this.
But after Aunt Miao finished speaking, she continued, "It's just that I want to ask Lord Marquis for something. The eldest girl and Miss Feng were just a small conflict between sisters. Madam punished the eldest girl fairly. I always feel that
It's a bit heavy, I would like to ask Mr. Hou to say a word for the eldest girl."
What I'm talking about is asking, but actually I'm just talking about conditions.
Aunt Miao belongs to the old lady. Even if she really doesn't want to come forward, Ning Shunhou can't kill her without passing by the old lady.
Aunt Miao was clearly tearing out his heart!
Ning Shunhou naturally covered his heart with his hand.
Seeing that Ning Shunhou didn't let go, Grandma Miao said lightly, "The old lady has always been interested in the older girl. If she let the old lady know, I'm afraid she would be very anxious."
"No need to say anything, let Qiao Guxin get out!" Ning Shunhou gritted his teeth, and the voice seemed to come out from between his teeth.
After hearing this, Mother Miao finally smiled, "Amitabha, Lord Marquis is still fair. The ancestors of the Qiao family are on top, so they must be happy."
He turned his head and looked at the rows of spiritual tablets.
In this way, Ning Shunhou let go of Qiao's old intention under the witness of his ancestors.
After saying this, Aunt Miao quickly gave the mugwort to the people below, and asked them to let Qiao Guxin soak her feet at night to avoid getting cold, and then she left.
Now that Ning Shunhou had spoken, Nianxiang quickly helped Qiao Guxin up.
After all, there was no futon to separate her. Qiao Guxin's knees also hurt so much that she almost had to lean on Nianxiang. It took a while before she returned to normal.
Qiao Guxin let go of Nianxiang and walked forward slowly, "Thank you, father."
The word "thank you" was like a knife, piercing Ning Shunhou's heart.
Ning Shunhou's eyes were cold, as if it was a cold winter that could not be warmed by the scorching sun, "Queen, I am not your father!"
These words are used in the coldest tone to treat one's own children.
It was the most severe punishment he could think of as a father.
In other words, from now on, he is not Qiao Guxin's father, and he will not protect Qiao Guxin no matter what happens.
Qiao Guxin lowered her eyes and nodded, and said lightly, "Yes."
Father? She is gone a long time ago.
Ning Shunhou flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left, leaving behind a determined figure.
After Qiao Guxin and others left, she slowly raised her head, looked at Ning Shunhou's back, and sneered. She knew that Ning Shunhou did not have the courage.
"This slave is so scared to death." Nianxiang couldn't help but pat her heart.
However, she also felt sorry for Qiao Guxin. It was clearly Qiao Xunfeng's fault. Why was Ning Shunhou so partial?
Qiao Guxin waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mom should be in a hurry, go to her place first."
Aunt Miao is a master after all. Without her cooperation, who is Qiao Xunfeng?
How could Marquis Ning Shun see through the methods in the inner house?
Before Qiao Guxin arrived at Mrs. Gu's place, Mrs. Gu had already received the news and hurriedly came to greet her. When she saw Qiao Guxin, she quickly pulled her over and said, "My sister Xin, I have been wronged."
"It's okay, mother." Qiao Guxin said with a smile.
As the couple said, Qiao Wenqing also got the news, "Sister." He came over in a hurry.
As soon as Mrs. Gu let go of Qiao Guxin, Qiao Wenqing took Qiao Guxin's arm and looked him up and down.
"Why are you so nervous? What else can happen to me?" Qiao Guxin helplessly cooperated with Qiao Wenqing, spinning around and around.
Even so, Qiao Wenqing's eyes were red, "If anything happens in the future, sister, don't stand out like this. She is a low-class person. When I am in high school, she doesn't have to take it seriously!"
Qiao Wenqing didn't know what happened, but it seemed to be related to him.
Qiao Guxin smiled and nodded Qiao Wenqing's forehead, "I'm just a concubine. I'll teach you a lesson, so why bother taking it to heart."
No matter what is going on inside, they are not always safe on the outside.
After this incident, Qiao Xunfeng was probably going crazy, and she would probably make trouble with Ning Shunhou. Ningshun Hou was tortured every day, so he had no intention of making trouble in front of them.
Besides, after being beaten like that, it was difficult for Qiao Xunfeng to even speak and eat. If she wanted to do bad things, she still had to have the strength.
Slowly consuming it, waiting for the old lady to come back, Qiao Xunfeng couldn't eat anymore and walked around.
As for the future, even if there is another banquet, even if Mrs. Gu wants to bring Qiao Xunfeng, Ning Shunhou may not be at ease.
There was nothing wrong with Qiao Guxin, but Aunt Miao had sent mugwort as a gift. At noon, the second aunt specially made knee pads, and it was just right to put mugwort in them.
Third Yi Niang also sent supplements. It was clear that Qiao Xunfeng had suffered too much, but everyone was still focused on Qiao Xunfeng.
After dealing with all this, Qiao Wenzhi naturally wanted to come over and take a look.
"Sister." He took Qiao Guxin's hand as soon as he came in, "They all blamed me for coming here to cry. My aunt said I couldn't hold my breath. I will definitely protect my eldest sister in the future."
Qiao Guxin saw Qiao Wenzhi twitching, and her eyebrows were bent with laughter, "I also looked at Qiao Xunfeng with displeasure, so I just had the right opportunity to teach her a lesson."
It's none of Qiao Wenzhi's business. Of course, it's not only Qiao Wenzhi's business.
After the two sisters sat chatting for a while, the person below said that Ning Shun was ill and seemed to have a fever.
I guess he was angry.
However, despite this, Marquis Ning Shun still forced himself to give orders and dispatched many people to guard the courtyard. From now on, no one could enter without his order. He was probably afraid that Qiao would harm his precious daughter again for his own reasons.
Regarding this matter, Qiao Gu's mind went in and out of one ear.
She can't go in and beat Qiao Xunfeng, and Qiao Xunfeng can't come out and act like a monster, which is naturally the best thing.
But Ning Shun was ill. After all, she was a daughter, so she should go and have a look.
In the afternoon, a large number of people passed by.
This door is really impressive. There are six people guarding the door. Even though Mrs. Gu led people over, she still stopped them, "Madam, wait a minute, the Marquis is not feeling well. Let's go and see the Marquis first."
Have you woken up?"
I said it politely, but I just wanted to inform you first.
The sun was the hottest at this hour, and Gu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
Everyone stood for a long time under the bright sun, and then someone came out and said, "Madam, you have been waiting for a long time. The Marquis has just woken up, please come in."
Now that Ning Shunhou had spoken, Gu led everyone in.
But just as Qiao Guxin got closer, the person below suddenly reached out and stopped Qiao Guxin, "The Marquis said that the eldest lady is also very weak, so as not to spread the illness to the eldest lady."
As soon as he said this, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Guxin.
To put it bluntly, Ning Shunhou just doesn't want to see Qiao Guxin now.
Qiao Guxin smiled and took a few steps back, "Thank you father for your mercy."
Gu's face sank slightly, and then she also withdrew, "What the Marquis said is that Sister Xin also needs someone to take care of her. She ordered the doctor to go down and take care of the Marquis. I, the Madam, have to take care of my daughter."
There was no need for her to come in without seeing her daughter.
Even now, she doesn't expect to go back to the past with Ning Shunhou.
As soon as Gu came out, Qiao Wenqing naturally wanted to follow.
Qiao Wenzhi didn't speak, but stood silently behind Qiao Guxin.
The ladies don't even go in to wait for the sick, but if the aunts go in to show off, wouldn't this be a disguised invitation to be favored.
The problem is that inviting favors also requires hope. Marquis Ning Shun's heart is not in the Marquis Mansion, so how can he still run on them?
The two aunts were not fools either. They made such a fuss that the invitation failed in the end. Even the Gu family was offended, so they all found excuses and left.
Outside the bustling door, now only Qiao Wenbing was left.
I feel inexplicably desolate.
Qiao Gu thought that Ning Shunhou would be ill for a few days, but he didn't expect to go to court the next day. He was more active than he had been in the previous half of his life.
Now that he's healed, Mrs. Gu doesn't have to pretend to be sick.
However, Marquis Ningshun was afraid that Qiao Xunfeng would be lonely, and it was rare for her to meet Qiao Wenbing's eyes, so he asked Qiao Wenbing to spend more time with Qiao Xunfeng.
Now, Qiao Wenbing of the Manhou Mansion is the first person who can freely enter and leave Qiao Xunfeng's courtyard.
But this first person, Third Yiniang didn’t want Qiao Wen to take the blame.
While watching Ning Shun waiting to go to court, the third aunt passed by. She did not go in, but asked the people below to send a message to Qiao Wenbing to come out.
After Qiao Wenbing came out, the third aunt didn't say a word. She was waiting for the people below to say that Ning Shun was waiting for the next court to go home. The third aunt suddenly shouted at the top of her voice and cursed, "What are you doing to your enemies? The exam is about to take place. How can you succeed?"
I treat myself as a funny thing every day, crawling into a hole and not getting out!"
"Bad barrier, what's the use of you? If I knew you were so worthless now, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!" Third Yiniang deliberately shouted at the top of her voice, what kind of enemy and evil scoundrel? She was obviously scolding Qiao.
Wen Ting, but no one knew who she was talking to.
Inside the room, Qiao Xunfeng heard clearly, but now she couldn't speak, and she hadn't eaten anything, so she didn't have the strength to get up.
Even if he wanted to hit something, he couldn't get up, so he could only hit the bed with little force.
Ning Shunhou heard the third aunt scolding people from afar, "What are you doing?" He strode forward and started scolding her too loudly.
The third aunt heard Ning Shunhou's voice and knelt down quickly, "Master Hou, please forgive me, but this thing is too naughty. I will take him back quickly and I will never let him go out again these days."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Qiao Wentian's shoulder vigorously, "Are you worthy of your master's teachings and your father's expectations?"
Marquis Ning Shun was not a fool. He understood what Third Yiniang meant as soon as he heard it, and waved his hand impatiently, "Get out of here, get away from me."
Following Ning Shunhou's instructions, Third Yiniang took Qiao Wen's handle and left without saying a word.
Although her son is a concubine, he is also a serious son of the Hou family. Who is Qiao Xunfeng? So what if it is listed in the genealogy? Why should an outsider with an illegitimate name allow her son to surround her?
change?
You have to be born but not born, and you have to have character but no character.
Pooh!
When she was far away, Third Yiniang didn't forget to turn back and cool herself down.
"Why should my aunt be the same as her? I just went there to share my father's worries." Qiao Wenbing quickly took the third aunt's arm and smiled coquettishly.
Third Yiniang pushed Qiao Wenbing away hard, "Don't you want to smile playfully with me, I don't know what you think? You are ambitious, but even if you don't have a wife, I can't be the head lady of this prince's house.
"
Some things are predestined from birth, and there is a certain number of people who are worthy of each other.
Look at that actor, he really wants to fly into the sky, but what is the result?
She is a woman who actually feels pity for her. She couldn't find her husband soon after the wedding. He had a hard time raising his daughter. As a result, he was recognized and the separation of her flesh and blood was not good.
But so what, this is the way of heaven.
Third Yiniang tapped Qiao Wen's forehead and said, "Don't play with those little tricks. Instead of trying to please others, what matters is your ability."
Men are always treated leniently in this world. No matter how they are born, they have the opportunity to turn around. One day, they will have a bright future ahead of them.
Who cares about the concubine at that time?
"Auntie said yes, my son has remembered it." Qiao Wenbing smiled and nodded.
Third Yi Niang rolled her eyes at Qiao Wenbing angrily, "Don't say nice things, then turn around and approach the actress again. You've been in contact with her for a long time, and you won't get along well."
Third Yi Niang told Qiao Wenbing a few more words. Although the child was young and it was not good to be too realistic, but who made him a bastard? More consideration must be given.
Qiao Xunfeng had no background, so now that she saw Ning Shunhou and his descendants fighting against each other several times, and all of them were defeated, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Moreover, Marquis Ning Shun did not have much influence in the court, but Qiao Wenqing was different. He was born into a family of talented young people, and once he went to high school, everything in the Marquis's mansion would change.
He has a prime minister, a grandfather, a minister of civil affairs, an uncle, and his rise to prominence is something you can see with your own eyes.
If Qiao Wenbing can have a good relationship with Qiao Wenqing, Qiao Wenqing will give him some advice in the future, and he will not be left behind.
Of course, the third aunt doesn't think Qiao Wenbing is much worse than Qiao Wenqing, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Young people have no foundation. They don't rely entirely on the support of the elders. When they get older and have been in the court for a long time, then It's all about yourself.
All these things were thrown together, and time passed in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Xunfeng was as sad as a dead person, but Qiao Guxin and the others were going to the Duke's Mansion for a banquet happily.
The Duke's Mansion was really big this time, and the message sent by Shen Qiuhe also invited the whole family of the Hou Mansion to go. Mrs. Gu was not polite and led a few children there in a lively manner.
Qiao Guxin was wearing a crimson skirt, and the steps on her head were shining in the sun. She looked rich and dignified.
Qiao Wenzhi also wore a pink dress. Although she tied her hair with a golden hairpin, it was mostly decorated with white jade hairpins, which still made her look playful.
The Qiao family's twin sisters each have their own autumn colors.
Qiao Wenqing and Qiao Wenbing are the same as before, one is elegantly dressed, the other is deep, each has his or her own style.
The gifts were loaded onto the carriage, and after getting on board, we took our seats.
Seeing Qiao Wenzhi's calm expression, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but praise, "Girl Zhi should always dress up. All the girls in our Marquis Mansion have their own style. When I get back, I have two pieces of good stuff that I will send to you." "
It's not that Mrs. Gu can really treat her children as her own, it's just that now she feels pity for the children, and she is a little closer to them.
"Thank you for your concern, mother. My daughter has enough clothes." Qiao Wenzhi quickly stood up to thank her.
But Mrs. Gu grabbed her hand, and Qiao Wenzhi realized that she was now on the carriage. She blushed and looked at Qiao Guxin involuntarily.
Qiao Guxin immediately understood and said to Gu with a smile, "I happen to be short of clothes too. When I come back, my mother will make two sets for each of us sisters."
"I can't do anything without you." Mrs. Gu said angrily, but she could see that Qiao Wenzhi was embarrassed, so she didn't say anything more.
It was not very close from the Marquis' Mansion to the Duke's Mansion, and the carriage had to travel for an hour to get there.
Originally, they set off quite early, but when they arrived, it was already midnight and there were many carriages parked in front of the Duke's Mansion.
Because the Marquis Mansion has a relationship with the Duke's Mansion for the future in-laws of his children, the housekeeper specially asked people to wait here. When he saw the Marquis Mansion's carriage stop, he immediately went up to wait on her, "Madam, you have had a hard journey."
"The road is smooth and easy to walk on." Mrs. Gu got off the carriage and stood still. She replied casually and raised her hand to let the people below her carry the gifts down.
This person is bound to be worldly. In the future, when walking around the in-laws, others must not let others see him as stingy, so he cannot just be refined, but he must also pay attention to quantity.
Five or six brocade boxes were brought down, and it was still polite.
Then the people below led them in.
"Wenqing, Wenqing." As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chu Han leading Feng Zhaoan waiting there. When he saw them waving his hands and shouting, he didn't care about his image at all.
Qiao Wenqing sighed helplessly, thinking to herself, how about pretending not to know him at this time?
Chu Hanyin didn't think so much. After shouting, he walked over quickly. After seeing Mrs. Gu, he first made a greeting and said, "Greetings to Madam."
Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, "You young people, get together, I'll go find your aunt." Then she lowered her head and gave instructions to Qiao Wenqing.
On this occasion, Mr. Xiang and Gu Shangshu may not come, but Mrs. Zhang will definitely come.
As soon as Mr. Gu left, Chu Han relaxed a lot as he stared at her, "Hello, ladies." He pretended to shout, then walked up to Qiao Wenqing and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't your concubine?
Come?"
He saw clearly that day that Ning Shunhou was the precious daughter, and she was too old to find her husband's family. On such occasions, the aunt should take the lead and show her face.
There was a trace of uneasiness on Qiao Wenqing's face. She cleared her throat and pretended to say casually, "Sister Feng is sick, so she couldn't come."
Chu Han clicked his tongue twice, "I'm still waiting to show off. I don't want to but don't give me a chance."
It was a casual remark with no other meaning.
Qiao Wenbing was not worried this time and chuckled softly from behind, "I don't know who Brother Chu is showing to?"
"Fourth brother!" Qiao Wenqing reacted immediately and scolded him.
Chu Hanyin smiled heartily. He was obviously not much taller than Qiao Wenbing. He was like an adult and called on the back of Qiao Wenbing's head, "You little brat."
Qiao Wenbing rubbed his head and was about to speak when Qiao Guxin glanced at him and immediately shut up.
Chu Hanyin didn't know why, but when Qiao Wenqing didn't say anything, he smiled and hugged Qiao Wenqing, "Your brother is not as majestic as me."
I thought Qiao Wenbing was afraid of him.
The five of them walked together into the Duke's Mansion. The adults were all chatting in the room, and the juniors were wandering outside. The Duke's Mansion had also made preparations, and a temporary pavilion was built with straw in a few steps.
Although it does not match the rich glazed tiles of the Duke's Mansion, it is still uniquely elegant, and the main thing is practicality.
Chu Han arrived early and asked his personal servant to occupy a pavilion so that they could have a shaded place as soon as they passed by.
When no one was paying attention, Chu Hanyin lightly hit Qiao Wenqing on the shoulder and said, "Master Hou visited my house a few days ago."
Qiao Guxin walked side by side with Qiao Wenqing, so she could hear his words clearly.
Chu Hanyin's father worked in the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't have much interaction with the Ministry of Works on weekdays. Besides, neither of them held important positions, and it was definitely not official matters.
When he said this, Qiao Gu suddenly understood.
It can only be said that Ning Shunhou worked very hard for Qiao Xunfeng.
The five of them sat down. This time, according to their age and status, Qiao Wenbing and Feng Zhaoan sat at the lowest position. But despite this, Qiao Wenzhi still felt that they were a little close.
I didn't dare to raise my head the whole time.
And Feng Zhaoan's ears have always been red.
Chu Hanyin liked to talk to Qiao Wenqing, but Qiao Wenqing couldn't speak most of the time, so he picked up the cakes prepared by the Duke's Palace on the table and gave them to Qiao Wenzhi, "Second sister, try this."
Qiao Wenzhi quickly shook her head, "I'm not hungry."
After Qiao Wenbing was rejected, she didn't say much and just put it in her mouth. After a while, she felt bored again and picked up the pastry made of plum blossoms in the middle. "Second sister, try this, don't you girls all like flowers?"
