Chapter 1078 The Queen is entangled by a dog-skin plaster
But just after she asked, she saw Xia Fengxiang staring at her with murderous intent in his eyes, so the Queen immediately answered herself: "Definitely gone."
But he immediately frowned, looked back at the man who was shouting over there, and looked at the people around him who didn't dare to speak, then turned his head to look at Xia Fengxiang: "But where did my uncle come from?"
Xia Fengxiang thought about it for a moment.
But before he could say anything, Su Changan also thought of this: "The Liu family in Liuzhou?"
Su Changan naturally knew about the affairs between the Liu family of Liuzhou and his godmother.
After all, she was Su Changan's mother. Su Changan later heard about her life experience from Yan Ruyu. He also had a general understanding of what happened between Su Liu and the Liu family, so he didn't care about it.
Xia Fengxiang said, "The current head of the Liu family, Liu Changchun, is my mother-in-law's younger brother. He is average in ability. This time, Yang Shanchang and his men cleared out those who infiltrated from Mobei, and also cleared out some people with ill intentions. They cleared out about one-tenth or one-twelve percent of the officialdom in the capital, leaving many more vacancies. When Liu Changchun's term of office was up, he was transferred to the capital. But the Liu family lost their titles after Old Grandpa Liu passed away, and they declined, so they moved the Liu family to the capital."
If officials in the court, such as Mu Xu, Xun Kuang or others, were present when Xia Fengxiang said this, they would feel a pang in their hearts if they only heard the first sentence and could not hear the latter part.
The emperor does not need to address the queen's mother's family as such, but if the emperor addresses her as such, what an honor! And what a degree of love!
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "He really can be considered your uncle."
Su Changan turned around and looked at the man, and couldn't help but smile.
That really counts.
"Master Liu, you are a big shot, I cannot afford to offend you, but I am also a small business, and the event we held a few days ago was to celebrate our Great Xia's successive defeats in Mobei, but the event has ended in the past few days. You wrote that article two days ago, and I did agree, so you can have three free meals, but you have been eating for many days in a row, and then you said you paid on credit, but it has been four or five days, and the account is more than 40 taels, you have to give me at least."
The shop owner was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, but unlike a real boss, he had many wrinkles on his face and dark skin. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot to get to this point. When he looked at the Liu family in front of him, he did not dare to say anything bad. His face was full of pleading, and he kept bowing.
I heard the shop owner say
People who always pass by here started to think about it.
About seven or eight days ago, when the battle situation in Yan and Shuozhou was reported, the whole city celebrated with joy.
Many of the stores even directly launched promotions, offering discounts, free meals for writing poems, etc.
If for no other reason than to celebrate!
After all, Daxia has never heard of such a great victory in all these years, especially in recent years when it has been invaded and humiliated by Mobei year after year. Although the common people don't say it, when they mention Mobei, they are not as confident as when they mention the Western Regions.
It was natural to be ecstatic with such consecutive victories.
Among them, [Tingfengzhai] is a new restaurant that opened in the past few months. Whether it is the store decoration or the cooking skills, they are all first-class.
In this capital city, being first-class and of the highest rank is quite extraordinary.
Tingwenzhai also held an event during this time, with discounts on drinks, which were much cheaper than usual. There was also an event in the store where one could write poetry and get three free meals.
"This is the winner." Someone in the crowd looked at the man from the Liu family in surprise, but then said, "No wonder he won."
The gossiper at the side nodded immediately and said, "There were many talented people participating in the imperial examination that day. Their poems and essays were all extraordinary. This person's was said to be very ordinary, but no one said much. I heard that Manager Sun had to choose this person in the end. I was there at the time. I thought that Manager Sun also read a lot of books and liked the Queen's poems and essays very much. Why did he choose this person? It turns out that he is the Queen's uncle."
"But even if he is the queen's uncle, he took the banquet, finished eating, and continued to eat. If he doesn't pay, then he can't..."
"You don't want to live anymore, but he is the queen's uncle and the in-law of the Su family. Even if it is not right, it must be right!"
"The queen was fighting in the front. It is said that she rushed directly into the enemy army. I don't know if she was injured. How can an uncle ruin her reputation? Besides, Manager Sun admires the poems written by the queen the most."
"I heard that the Liu family of Liuzhou was very domineering. They were disciplined by Lord Wen many times in Liuzhou. They couldn't stay in Liuzhou anymore, so they came to Beijing to curry favor with the Su family. Tsk tsk, and let me tell you, the Liu family is shameless. You may not know this, but the elders in Beijing know how the Liu family treated the Su family's eldest lady and eldest master."
Someone in the crowd started talking, one after another, especially those who already knew about it or had heard about it, they immediately began to talk about it.
"Oh, you don't know. I heard that Shopkeeper Sun mentioned this to the official who often came to his shop, but when he heard about the Liu family, he immediately stopped talking. Don't say anything. I suddenly miss Yang Guofu. That one-eyed fat guy has done a lot of this kind of thing in the past few months, and he did it beautifully."
Right behind this man, a woman wearing a veil on her head squeezed in and asked this man, "Besides this, have the Liu family done anything else?"
The man who was talking saw the woman wearing a veil and was about to speak, but then he saw the woman next to her holding a fat baby in her arms. Seeing that the woman was pretty, he immediately said, "Young lady, Madam, please stand back quickly. Don't let the Liu family see us."
As he spoke, the man blocked it.
The woman wearing a veil was curious.
However, the woman holding the fat baby was very smart. She twitched her lips and glanced at the Liu family who were still cursing the shop owner, "They are still robbing women?"
The man shook his head immediately, "No, although there are many new officials and bastards in the capital, there are not so many cases of robbing women. The main reason is that the Liu family recently said that they wanted to find a wife for their youngest son. Before, Cui Yuer from the Cui family was spotted by the Liu family on the road. She pestered him and finally revealed her identity. Then she ran away in shame. But the Liu family still went to propose marriage, but was driven away by Cui Yuer. Moreover, this happened several times. The Liu family even took their things to Prime Minister Li's house to propose marriage. This is just like the Liu family seeing a girl on the street, but they don't rob her by force, but..."
When the man said this, he pursed his lips and said, "It seems to be no different from robbery, but the Liu family has high standards. They think they are from the Queen's family, and they only look at people from wealthy families. But you, a beautiful lady, might also be targeted. After all, he might be a pervert."
The man lowered his voice and said, "If they dare to do it to the rich and powerful, who knows what will happen to ordinary people like us. So it's right to be careful. So listen to me and leave quickly. This commotion is nothing to watch. In the end, it will definitely end in nothing. Manager Sun will consider himself unlucky. He may even have to continue to serve as a supporter."
The woman holding the fat baby looked at the woman wearing a veil on her head with a smile on her face.
The woman wearing a veil was lucky to be wearing it, otherwise she would be so embarrassed right now.
In the past, we always saw in TV dramas and movies that when a person becomes rich, his family would have many extraordinary relatives.
Finally it's my turn?
The woman wearing a veil on her head was actually the Queen. She turned her head to look at the Liu family and then glanced at her own wife.
He looked at Xia Yuanyuan in his wife's arms again, and reached out to take Xia Yuanyuan.
Although he was injured, it was no problem for him to hold the child. On the contrary, his wife was pregnant and couldn't be too tired.
At the same time, Su Changan looked at the man and asked, "Big brother, the Su family doesn't care? I heard that the Su family and the Liu family don't have a good relationship."
The man shook his head. "The Liu family knows their limits. Just like this debt, if it gets out of hand, the Liu family sent money over. Then, what can the Su family say? They can't just kick the Liu family out. The Su family doesn't have that much power. And I heard that the Su family's eldest lady is pregnant, and the Su family deliberately didn't let her know about these things, lest she get a miscarriage. If she gets a miscarriage at such an old age, it would be dangerous. And Master Su turned a blind eye. As for us, although we are angry, do you think the Liu family has done anything against the will of heaven? That's not the case. It's just like this debt, and then they say I'm the Queen's uncle, who dares to mess with me? Going to the police may not be useful, and we can only suffer."
But after saying this, the man frowned and said, "But it is said that the Su family will always deal with it quietly. For example, as for the Cui family, I heard that the eldest master of the Su family personally came to apologize."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment and looked at his wife. They both understood what Su Wenqing was going to do and smiled helplessly.
But after looking at the Liu family, Su Changan said, "I heard that the Liu family used to be a family of scholars. How come they are like a dog-skin plaster? Isn't this all because of the Su family?"
Someone at the side couldn't help but say, "How can you rely on the Su family? You rely on the Queen. Didn't you hear that I am the Queen's uncle? And you said he is not?"
Su Changan asked: "They are so high-profile, aren't they afraid that the queen will come back and punish them?"
The man laughed and said, "Sister, you really don't understand. The queen is kind and filial, and there is a Su family lady between them. Moreover, the lady is pregnant, and everyone in the capital knows about it. When the queen comes back, she must hide it from the lady. And there is nothing you can do about these things, right?"
Su Changan looked at the Liu family member who pushed the shopkeeper away through the fence: "But if the eldest lady of the Su family finds out later, she will be even more angry and sad."
The man said, "Who knows? Anyway, ever since the new officials came to the capital, the tyranny of the young masters and young ladies from their families has also been brought here. At times like this, I really miss that one-eyed fat man Yang Guofu. He is much more ruthless. If he were here, he would have slapped the Liu family now."
Su Changan smiled and looked at his wife.
Xia Fengxiang said: "Deal with it yourself."
As he said this, he saw Xia Yuanyuan staring at the cloud cake on the stall over there, and couldn't help but smile: "Want to eat?"
Xia Yuanyuan nodded.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan. There was no need to say much. Su Changan knew what Xia Fengxiang meant. He nodded slightly, then hugged Xia Yuanyuan and looked at the man from the Liu family again, and was about to squeeze forward.
The man saw it and wanted to stop it.
But then he saw a tall woman with two swords hanging on her waist standing behind the woman wearing a veil. The man was startled and shut up immediately, but looking at the woman in the veil, he guessed in his heart that she was not an ordinary person.
"It's not like I won't give it to you! Why are you bothering me here? I'll have someone send it to you when I get back! My word is as good as gold!" The Liu family member named Liu Dongshan was probably a little embarrassed because more and more people were around, and he also remembered his second uncle's words, so he wanted to leave quickly.
But Shopkeeper Sun pleaded, "Mr. Liu, you've said this several times. Our shop is really a small business. Please give it to us this time."
Liu Dongshan frowned, looked around, and finally looked at Shopkeeper Sun: "You..."
"It is only natural to pay back debts. Since Master Liu wants to pay back the money, why not send someone close to the Liu family to get the money and give it to everyone in front of them? That would save your reputation and not affect the Madam's reputation. Shopkeeper Sun would also get the money to help out with his urgent needs."
But at this time, a scholar walked out of the crowd.
Su Changan looked over and found that he knew this man.
Ma Si retreats!
He was the scholar in the Hot Spring Palace before, who failed the exam more than ten times but was highly praised by his grandfather and Mu Xu.
