Chapter 631: It's better to be stunned than beheaded
Jiang Xinyan and his wife took out the money to buy half of the entire Nie Mansion and Wei Mansion in the capital, because the Nie Mansion was next door to the Wei Mansion.
Nie's mansion went all the way to Xuanyan City, so the whole mansion was sold to Yaxing.
Wei's mansion also left the eldest son of the second room in the capital, and grandfather Wei only sold half of the mansion at that time.
Nie's mansion was originally quite a big mansion, plus half of the Wei mansion, it was bigger than the Zhennanhou mansion before Chu Lixuan.
Neither the Nie Mansion nor the Wei Mansion needed to be rebuilt. Chu Lixuan ordered people to rebuild the walls and turn the two mansions into one large courtyard.
Nie's house can be moved in directly. Zeng Yongrui and Xiao Sisi each have a yard, and the others who have wives and children also choose the corresponding yard.
There are only a few people in a single courtyard, but everyone has a room. There are many people in the slums in Beijing who have nowhere to go.
was picked up by Chu Lixuan's men to do chores, take care of food and lodging, and some beggars who had no parents and no mothers signed a sales contract to be a housekeeper and a cleaning maid.
There is no need for the nursing home. They are all wounded soldiers who came back from the battlefield, and they can take turns to guard the mansion.
General old wounds, Jiang Xinyan can help them treat, unless they can't find their broken limbs, then there is no way.
Like Zeng Yongrui, but she didn't use good medicine to treat her lame feet. Jiang Xinyan can be cured by surgery.
Xiao Sisi took good care of her fifth uncle, Jiang Xinyan thought, if Wang Wenshan is really going to Xuanyan to find Chu Fang.
Then should she take Wang Wenshan with Xiao Sisi? Although Chu Xiao is pregnant now, Xiao Sisi is the flesh and blood that fell from her belly after all.
"Xinxin, don't worry about it here alone, just ask Xiao Sisi for her opinion." Chu Lixuan couldn't see her daughter-in-law frowning.
"Isn't Wang Wenshan still undecided? I'm asking now, so I don't want to make Xiao Sisi sad."
"Well, then let's go to your grandfather's door to watch the fun." Chu Lixuan just wanted her to be happy.
"Xiao Sisi, let's take you outside to watch the fun." Jiang Xinyan also likes to watch the fun.
"Uncle and aunt go, I'll accompany my fifth uncle in the mansion." Xiao Sisi said sensible, it's not that she didn't want to go.
"Sisi, go with Master Li and Madam. Fifth Uncle just can't move his legs, but he can eat and drink tea with his hands. Besides, there is a servant to take care of me."
Zeng Yongrui looked at the eldest niece carved in pink and jade, and his heart was so soft that he ate well these days, and the eldest niece returned to her previous appearance.
Although Zeng Sisi is only five years old, she knows that she can't be pointed at by others like a few days ago, "Uncle Fifth, I don't want to meet the acquaintances of my father and Shangshufu as soon as I go out."
Zeng Yongrui: "..." He didn't expect this.
"Then you stay in the mansion and accompany your fifth uncle. After a while, if Wang Wenshan takes the children to find their mother, then Xiao Sisi will go with you to find your mother."
Hearing Xiao Sisi's words, Jiang Xinyan instantly helped her make a decision.
"Is it really possible?" Xiao Sisi dreamed of her mother, and since her mother left, she hasn't had a day's birthday.
"Yes." Jiang Xinyan said affirmatively when she saw the desire in the little girl's eyes.
The entrance of Mrs. Xu was surrounded by people who were gloating at misfortune, and smashed the gate of Xu Mansion with rotten vegetable leaves and mud in their hands.
Jiang Xinyan thought, why didn't they take rotten eggs, it should be because the people in the capital are too poor to eat rotten eggs.
"This Mrs. Xu is too arrogant, he actually dares to hold the prime minister and challenge the saint?"
"That's right, relying on the emperor's grace, you can't be lawless. You really think of yourself as the emperor's mentor!"
"I heard that Mrs. Xu was the most trusted person by the emperor's side back then. I'm afraid this time it's more fortunate than for luck."
"Who said no, I heard that the old gentleman is very eccentric, and we ordinary people can't afford it."
"Shh, silence."
Everyone was talking about it, but they saw that the Xu residence was now surrounded by the Royal Forest Legion.
The people still stopped talking when they saw the Royal Forest Army. They were afraid that one day the emperor would let his mentor go again, and he would take revenge on them.
Zhang Hao was standing in front of the Taifu's mansion in his official uniform. He was recalling what his grandfather said, when the emperor liked to kill the donkey the most, and asked him not to stand out.
So he stood outside obediently, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and the head of Jinyiwei led a group of people in to raid the house.
Although Mrs. Xu looks about sixty years old, he is already sixty-seven years old, with a very healthy body, a rosy face, and piercing eyes.
The family ate dinner happily, why were they surrounded, Mrs. Xu didn't know that his daughter Xu Yumei had committed a heinous crime.
At this time, Eunuch Chief Eunuch Li went to Mrs. Xu: "Sir, are you ready? Please accept the order."
Mrs. Xu raised her head and glanced at Eunuch Li, nodded, and immediately knelt down with the entire Xu family to receive the decree.
The young master and young lady and the young ladies of Xu Mansion were all confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
But everyone knows it's not a good thing. They usually read the imperial decree a lot, and the father-in-law at that time was all smiles.
At this time, Eunuch Li not only had a dark face, but also had a large group of guards with swords by his side. A three-year-old child knew that it was not a good thing.
Eunuch Li stood aside, carefully observed Mrs. Xu's every move, and praised inwardly.
Although Mrs. Xu was short-tempered, eccentric, and even a little weird, it was amazing that she was so calm before her death.
How did Eunuch Li know that Mrs. Xu didn't even know that his death was imminent. At most, he only thought that one of his grandsons had committed a crime.
He has too many grandsons, and if one dies, he cannot be saddened at all, so he is very calm.
After a while, when Mrs. Xu's whole house was kneeling, Eunuch Li unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud with his characteristic drake voice.
Not only everyone in Xu Mansion heard it, but also the people outside, and some people near the mansion gate also heard Eunuch Li's shrill voice.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said that Mrs. Xu instigated her daughter to be placed under house arrest by the court officials, and she also broke her legs. The crime was extremely heinous. Mrs. Xu has been hiring killers from the Assassin League to hunt down criminals from the court. this-"
The moment heard the imperial edict read out, Mrs. Xu's body swayed, and she cursed furiously, "Evil girl, really evil girl..."
His eyes turned white and he passed out. The other sons of the Xu family immediately helped him up.
Mrs. Xu asked eagerly, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor..."
"Mother, my father fainted from anger. Now where is there any imperial doctor? We are going to beheaded. If my father faints like this, I don't know the pain."
The eldest son of the Xu family doesn't know if he really thinks that dying of fainting is better than beheading, or it's sarcasm.
