After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 508 Extra (6)

The head of Rongjia County is a ruthless person who can come to the house to force someone into marriage.

In the past, Xian Guogong's palace was powerful, so she just let it go. Now that Duke Xianguo's mansion is rotting in the mud, how can she continue to tolerate Duke Xianguo's wife.

Even the thing that tripped up Mrs. Xian Guo was secretly arranged by the Rongjia County Lord. Now she is serving her sick mother-in-law, which means she is kept half-dead.

She even added another medicine to the decoction that Mrs. Xianguo drank. Mrs. Xianguo's illness became worse and worse, and she soon became speechless.

Naturally, Mrs. Xian Guo also noticed that something was wrong, and she wanted to take advantage of Qin Jingshu's return to her parents' home to complain to her adopted daughter.

But Qin Jingshu didn't understand her several times. Her adopted daughter still sent money to the family, but the benefits of the money did not fall on Mrs. Xianguo.

The head of Rongjia County did not dare to really kill his mother-in-law. After all, without Mrs. Xianguo, it would be inconvenient to ask Qin Jingshu for money.

But soon, the head of Rongjia County found that the money was simply not enough.

Because there is another person in this family who spends money like water, and that is Duke Xian.

Although the Xianguo Palace fell, the nature of these people who had been pampered for many years and spent money lavishly did not change.

Duke Xian still maintained his hobbies, buying some paintings, calligraphy, and antiques from time to time. He even wanted to continue raising Qingke.

The head of Rongjia County kept busy, bought a young concubine for his father-in-law, and made a fuss about his diet. Not long after, his father-in-law fell ill with horse wind, and he was lying on the bed with his mother-in-law.

After both his parents-in-law fell down, the head of Rongjia County felt that life was getting better. He used the money he saved to buy two strong old ladies to serve the couple.

It's not that Qin Jingshu doesn't know about the mess in the Qin family, it's just that her parents were not killed by the head of Rongjia County. Secondly, her parents do seem to need care. She can't stand being chased all day long. money spent.

The head of Rongjia County is easier to talk to than the old couple of the Qin family. Qin Jingshu can get rid of them by giving her a fixed sum of money every month, so he won't bother her anytime.

When Qin Jingshu's eldest son turned ten, although Qin Jing never returned to the capital, he rose to higher and higher official positions in the northwest and was already a feudal official.

In fact, if the Qin family in the capital simply lived a simple life, they would not need Qin Jingshu's support at all, because Qin Jing would squeeze out money from his teeth every year to support his family in the capital.

It's just that they are used to living a good life, and they are not willing to eat bran-thick vegetables.

In Qin Jing's eleventh year as an official in the northwest, Duke Xian and his wife finally couldn't stand it any longer and lay in bed for ten years. The couple passed away one after another.

After his parents passed away, Qin Jing could no longer serve as an official, so he took his family and his family back to the capital from the northwest to attend the funeral. Three years later, after Ding You resurrected, he did not return to the northwest, but stayed in the capital and became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Entered the cabinet.

Although the Qin family has been in decline for many years, it has managed to return to the ranks of the top families in the capital thanks to Qin Jing.

When Qin Jing was fifty years old, because of his great achievements, Li Xuan granted him the title of Duke Xian and returned the old Duke Xian's palace to him.

Because he had faithfully implemented the emperor's decision for many years, no matter how outrageous it was, he never questioned it. Qin Jing was also listed as a model of "the emperor and his ministers do not doubt" in the history books of later generations.

Also unquestioning throughout their lives were the emperor and his wife.

The emperor and his wife had been married for many years and had no children. The emperor not only did not express his anger at the queen, but instead stood up to the public opinion and brought out the "Two Saints".

This move initially caused an uproar in the court. Even Gu Mingda, the head of the family, was attacked by other court officials, accusing him of being disobedient.

But the huge pressure from almost everyone in the world was resisted by Gu Mingda and his daughter.

After three days of quarreling in the court, when they went to court again, the emperor and his wife walked from the main entrance to the throne in front of everyone in the court.

The emperor even helped his wife sit down first, and then he sat down. With such a posture put out, the civil and military officials in the court suddenly felt despair.

After the Queen came to the court, there was a new voice in the court. Even the imperial examination system that had been implemented for hundreds of years was facing new changes.

"Science? Physics? Chemistry? What are these things? I have read books about sages for decades and have never heard of these words!" The elderly man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He firmly disagreed with the imperial examination. These new subjects have also been added.

The queen just smiled, and immediately a middle-aged woman wearing official dress came in.

During the emperor's wedding, the queen insisted on bringing Shuying into the palace. Gu Mingda was still worried at that time, fearing that the crazy girl would go crazy in the palace.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the palace, the crazy girl's mental state seemed to be much more stable, and new inventions appeared every now and then.

She even wrote several textbooks on the subjects that are now being added to the imperial examination.

The crazy girl was wearing a female official's costume, and Gu Mingda still felt uncomfortable no matter how many times he saw it.

She had a tray in her hand, and on top of it was a model of a carriage, about the size of a tea tin.

There is a short candle on the tail of the carriage.

In front of the civil and military officials of the court, the crazy girl showed no trace of fear on her face. She stretched out her hand and lit the candle.

"What is this for?"

"What on earth is this female officer here for?"

The ministers in the court were talking a lot. They couldn't figure out what the crazy girl was going to do, but the emperor and queen above didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to stop her.

But they didn't wait long.

Because the candle only burned for half a minute, the miniature carriage started to move without any warning.

The speed is getting faster and faster, as if someone is dragging me forward.

"Why did the carriage move on its own?"

"This, this, this...is there a ghost?"

"Protect Your Majesty and Your Majesty!"

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were in chaos.

The emperor glanced at the queen, who smiled and said, "My lords, please don't panic. Lady Shuying will explain to everyone why this carriage can move later."

Shuying raised the corner of her mouth and explained to everyone present what "steam" was and what "science" was.

Most of the people present were smart people. Except for a few old stubborns, most people understood the principle of automatic carriage without wind.

But some people still have doubts: "Your Majesty, Madam, even if the carriage can move on its own, what's the use?"

Shuying said: "If a small car can move, so can a large car. With such a fast speed, it is no longer difficult to travel thousands of miles a day. Maybe in the future, if there is a battle at the border today, the battle report will be sent to the capital tomorrow."

"Besides, the power brought by steam can be used on cars, can't it be used on other things?"
