Chapter 493 Where the lights shine brightly, the stormy night returns

Tian Xiang Lou

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law led several nuns into the hall, met the gazes of all the female relatives, and first saluted Jia Mu with a smile.

"How is the old lady?"

Mother Jia nodded and greeted Wang Yi's daughter-in-law to sit down, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yi and daughter-in-law, why are you free today?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Didn't I congratulate your old lady and wife?"

"Congratulations?" Mother Jia was surprised, and looked at Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue, puzzled.

Sister Feng looked at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law with a half-smile, and said: "My cousin's words are strange, but I don't know what kind of happy event is going to happen at home now. Could it be that the magpies cry early in the morning, and I got up too late, so I didn't hear it?"

When Jia Mu heard this, she smiled and said, "Brother Yi's daughter-in-law is coming to have a seat, isn't it just a happy event, and it's also Yu'er's birth, so we should add more chopsticks."

Everyone laughed.

In fact, Mother Jia is also happy to see Sister Feng recover from the "widowed" state. After all, the days without Sister Feng really lack a lot of happiness.

However, Li Wan, Si Chun, Chai Dai, and Xiang Yun all looked at Wang Yi's wife in surprise.

Just now Baochai picked up a lychee from the plate, put it into his mouth and ate it, at this moment, listening to the guest, he took the handkerchief and spit the fruit pit on the handkerchief.

Few people know that Baochai, who is like a beauty in the snow, likes to eat lychees, but lychees are easy to get angry, and because of the allusion of riding a red concubine laughing, Baochai usually does not show up in front of people.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled, looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting not far away, and said, "This is not for the sake of the eldest girl."

As soon as this statement came out, all the female relatives in Rongqing Hall were shocked, Haoer was a happy event, a marriage.

A sneering smile curled up on the corner of Sister Feng's mouth, her soft, rippling red phoenix eyes were bright and energetic, she looked at Mrs. Wang for a while, and Yuan Chun for a while.

I don't know when it started, this young woman who is almost a widow has gradually developed a mentality of watching jokes from the sidelines "sober in the world".

Baochai's moist apricot eyes are like dew, she can't help but look at Yuanchun, she sees her cousin's jade face like a hibiscus stamen, originally rosy like a cloud, but now she is as pale as paper, her lips don't know when Gradually sip it up.

In fact, when Wang Yi's daughter-in-law came over, Yuan Chun vaguely guessed what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd. Now that she got the confirmation, her complexion was pale, and her heart was pulled into her throat.

It's about her marriage again.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "That's strange. I don't know what it is?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "This is not the Marquis of Pingyuan, you always know it? This is an old relative of our family, he is the general of the Datong Mansion in Shizhen, Jiang Zining, the successor of the Marquis of Pingyuan, you always know Yes, now he has a son who is young and talented, and now he is in the rank of fourth-rank general, his future is limitless, it should be fate."

Jiamu's face moved slightly, and she asked with great interest, "Pingyuan Hou's family is in Datong Mansion now?"

In fact, it is not only Mrs. Wang who is worried about Yuanchun's marriage, but why isn't Jia's mother worried?

With the exile of Jia She and his son, Rongguo Mansion is on the verge of decline. According to the family relationship, the feudal prince and side concubine really cannot expect a high match.

No wonder Mrs. Wang hated someone so much.

In fact, in the original book, even if Jia Amnesty did not fall, from Baoyu marrying the merchant's daughter as his main wife, we can see the decline of Jia's mansion.

The standard family of martial arts, and then marry with the Tian family, the next best thing is to seek marriage with civil servants and officials to increase the background of the family, not military generals and merchants.

Let me ask, why isn't Mother Jia a staunch Bao Dai party?

As soon as Mrs. Wang saw Jiamu's reaction, she felt confident and her face was slightly happy. She knew that the old lady would be happy to see the result. As long as the old lady spoke, the big girl's marriage would be in half.

Especially, at Daiyu's birth banquet, in front of the old lady and the Qin family, she didn't believe that Uncle Heng still had the face to obstruct it?

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Old lady, she also took a fancy to our big girl. She originally came to propose a marriage a few days ago, but it was a bit abrupt to think about it. Thinking of the long-standing friendship between our two families and the deep friendship Hou, just let the old lady decide and get closer."

There was a kind smile on Jiamu's old face, she nodded and said: "The old Gaoming of Pingyuan Hou's family is a polite person. In the past ten years, she and I have walked around a lot in Beijing. Later, their family all went to Datong to defend the border. We left someone to look after the house in Beijing, so the two sides didn’t move around frequently, but during the holidays, they also prepared a generous gift for each other, so to speak, it’s really a long-standing friendship.”

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law was overjoyed when she heard this, and her beautiful face was full of smiles, and she said: "Old lady, you see, once I tell you, you will know! There are many brothers in the army, but there is only one title, but his brothers have made meritorious service in the border. Speaking of Jiang Xu, he is also capable of writing and martial arts. He has made contributions in the border. He is now twenty years old. , is already a fourth-rank general, as someone said before, our eldest girl has been a female history in the palace, she understands the rules, knows the etiquette, and treats people generously. Like my sister, she knows the cold and the hot, and she is considerate."

These words are naturally not Jiang Xu's words, but Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, who is a "matchmaker", fabricated words when she was a matchmaker.

Baochai, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun all listened quietly, because they were not talking about their own affairs. The sisters were young and shy, but many of them looked at Yuanchun and watched the reaction.

Xiangyun held his cheeks and thought to himself, the eldest sister is about to leave the cabinet, so she can't be stubborn together in the future.

Well, it turned out that she followed Brother Heng, and sometimes she couldn't see anyone.

Daiyu pursed her lips while holding a handkerchief, staring at Yuan Chun with starry eyes, looking at Yuan Chun's expression curiously.

Yuan Chun was ashamed when he heard this, his cheeks were bright red, and he was very anxious, he hurriedly said: "Old Ancestor, Brother Heng said that the imperial court decided to rectify the frontier army, and it will be hard to talk about the future of the general's family in the border town."

As soon as this remark came out, it was as if the pause button was pressed for Tianxianglou, and it also interrupted the "double reed" between Wang Yi's wife and Mrs. Wang.

As expected, Mother Jia frowned, if someone else said so, she might not believe it, but now it is what Jia Heng said, so it should not be ignored.

Mother Jia smiled, looked at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, who had a frozen smile on her face, and said, "Brother Yi, daughter-in-law, you don't know, Brother Heng has already taken care of the eldest girl's marriage."

Yuan Chun's expression was a bit unnatural, and he turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice: "Mom, brother Heng didn't mention it before, why are you still talking about it now?"

Mrs. Wang smiled, her heart was covered with a haze.

She is a big girl, open her mouth Brother Heng, shut up Brother Heng, you silly girl, how can you spend the rest of your life with Brother Heng?Such a big girl, she must leave the court, right?

The elbows always turn outward, what's the matter?

But these words can only be calculated in the heart, not easy to export.

"Old lady, the last one, I told Brother Heng in private that what Brother Heng said was closed and the court wanted to rectify the frontier army, this family is not appropriate. I asked Baoyu his uncle, it seems that there is a matter of rectifying the frontier army, but Datong, Pingyuan Houjiashi Town, blocks the barbarians in the north, and the palace has always valued it." Mrs. Wang narrated.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "What my aunt said is that the Jiang family has fought a lot of battles, and no matter how they rectify it, they can't fall on them. In fact, I didn't say Brother Heng, he is a big official. , I am becoming more and more cautious, it is supposed to be a good thing, but sometimes it is not... Last time I said that the king of Chu is not appropriate, and the vassal king has the blood of the Tian family, how can it be inappropriate?"

This is rehashing old accounts, talking about the last time the mother of the Zhen family came to tell the king of Chu that Yuanchun was his side concubine, so as to establish an image of "Jia Heng keeps doing bad things".

When mentioning King Chu, Mrs. Wang was not without bitterness, but she said with a smile on her face: "Brother Heng is worried that the feudal king is not right, and it will be implicated in the clan. Let me believe it, and now it is not right to say that the side , This confuses me, who is the right one? I asked him last time, and he didn't say anything. At the age of the big girl, he is really holding his breath! Old lady, as the old saying goes, whoever's child is Worry, what I worry about now is that I can't sleep every night."

Yuan Chun frowned and pursed his lips.

What does it mean that at her age, Brother Heng is really holding her breath?

Qin Keqing quietly listened to Mrs. Wang and Wang Yi's daughter-in-law's work, took a sip of the teacup handed over by the maid Baozhu, her beautiful eyes gradually turned cold.

And Fengwan, Sanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun also listened quietly, and it was not easy to intervene.

However, Mrs. Xing, who didn't want to think about it at this time, also sighed, looked at Jia Mu, and said, "Old lady, she is a serious fourth-rank military officer, and the eldest girl will be her real wife after passing the door. Please seal the order, people like us don't dare to expect too much."

Speaking of imperial orders, Mrs. Xing's voice obviously paused, obviously these two words touched a sad matter.

Well, not long ago, the Ministry of Etiquette was honest and blunt, and took back Mrs. Xing's imperial status.

However, although Mrs. Xing's words were full of snobbery, the truth was not pleasing to the ear, and it pierced the fantasy to the point.

Mostly, there are people in their 20s, since there are leftovers, why are they picking and choosing?

For people like us, it would be nice to find something like this.

Well, unless it is self-produced and sold internally.

Qin Keqing put down the teacup and said in a clear voice: "What do the first wife and the second wife mean by saying this? Are they saying that my husband will not let the eldest sister have a good home?"

This pair of sisters-in-law are secretly accusing her husband of being a bad person, inside and outside the words, which is simply unreasonable!

Yuan Chun hangs her head down, feeling ashamed at this moment, mentioning her marriage in front of the sisters, how will she deal with herself among the sisters in the future?

Mrs. Wang said: "Brother Heng, daughter-in-law, I don't dare to have such an idea, but you also understand my mother's painstaking efforts, and all marriages are well-matched, and the master is no longer an official outside, my lord. The girl feels like burning her eyebrows, why am I not in a hurry, a mother?"

It has to be said that Mrs. Wang, a young expert in house fighting, played the "sorrowful card" of changing her heart. At this moment, it seemed that Qin Keqing was so aggressive.

When Jia's mother heard Qin Keqing's words, she felt a little annoyed, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Baoyu's mother, she is Yu'er's birth, and she is also in front of all the younger generations. Can't we talk about it when I go back?"

The relationship between the East and the West is delicate and tight now, and everything needs to be negotiated and agreed upon. Otherwise, if things go on like this, there will be rifts, and what will be done in the future.

Qin Keqing's face was indifferent, and said: "You don't need to carry a gun with a stick, my husband still owes you?"

When Jia Mu heard this, her complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Heng's daughter-in-law, Baoyu's mother doesn't mean that."

Mrs. Wang's complexion froze, she was a little flustered, and sighed: "Brother Heng, daughter-in-law, why did I ever think this way, it's just that it's not a problem to delay every day, Brother Heng, look at him all day long He was so busy, he was going to the Beijing Camp and the Military Aircraft Office, so he couldn't bother him with everything. Last time he talked about the master's work in the Ministry of Industry, he didn't take care of it. Well, I'm not that mean."

No matter how difficult it is today, the big girl's marriage must be finalized in front of Brother Heng's daughter-in-law and the old lady, otherwise there may be some repetitions later.

When Mother Jia heard the words, she felt a little unhappy, but she had to admit that what Mrs. Wang said had some truth.

He sighed secretly.

It's also because the family is in decline, and Brother Heng is really holding his breath, and has never said anything about the eldest girl's marriage.

For a while, Tianxiang upstairs fell into an eerie silence.

Mainly because of the identity of Mrs. Wang, but also about Yuan Chun's marriage.

Yuan Chun himself is not good at making excuses in front of everyone, and he can't make up his own mind.

Aunt Xue could say a few words, but after all, Mrs. Wang's attitude seemed very firm, as a relative she didn't want to interrupt too much, she just exchanged glances with her good daughter opposite.

Baochai's apricot eyes flickered, as if she had glanced at the imperial lady sitting at the head, seeing her face as clear as frost, she could actually understand her mood, as if he was trying to obstruct her.

In fact, in the final analysis, Mrs. Wang was driven into a hurry, and the rabbit bit people in a hurry.

Mother Jia let out a long sigh, and felt a terrible headache, mainly because she couldn't control Brother Heng's thoughts.

At the beginning, I said to let him take care of it, but now I repeat it halfway, not only to show that I don't trust him, but also to hurt the friendship between Rongning and Ningfu.

Facing all the eyes watching, Jia Mu thought for a while and said, "How about waiting for Brother Heng to come back and let him discuss it with Baoyu and her mother?"

At this moment, Jia's mother still chose live mud.

Madam Wang naturally couldn't accept such a result, she opened her mouth, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, when everyone had different thoughts, they only heard Lin Zhixiao's family rush into the hall and said: "Old lady, the second master is here."

Mother Jia was surprised, and murmured, "Zheng'er, what is he doing here at this time?"

Today is Daiyu's birth, and Jia Zheng, as an uncle, has absolutely no reason to come here to give birth to his niece in person. This is the business of Mrs. Wang, the head wife.

But thinking about Jia Zheng's coming, he happened to diverge from this section, untied the encirclement, and said quickly, "Let him in."

Lin Zhixiao's family responded, turned back and called Jia Zheng up.

At this moment, Madam Wang's words were naturally stopped.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law also pouted.

Not long after, Jia Zheng went up to the second floor and greeted Jia's mother first. Before Jia's mother could ask her why she came, he frowned and asked first, "Ziyu hasn't come back yet?"

At this time, the night was low and the lights were just coming on, but the lights in Tianxiang Building were dazzling and bright as day.

"Why are you looking for him?" Mother Jia asked curiously.

Jia Zheng sat down on the embroidered pier and said, "Mother, just now Fu Shi from the Jingzhao Yamen came over and said that a major event happened in Beijing today, that is, the earthquake that happened when I was a child, the Emperor's Mausoleum..."

Different from Fu Shi's happy expression, Jia Zheng's heart was still a little heavy because of the safety of the royal mausoleum, and there was no joy on his face.

"The emperor's mausoleum collapsed, and the Holy One was furious."

Jiamu's complexion changed slightly, and she said in surprise, "This is a big deal."

Everyone in the Tianxiang Building was also slightly surprised. They knew about the earthquake at noon, but it didn't look like a big movement, only a few tiles fell. How could this collapse the imperial mausoleum?

Baochai was pinching the handkerchief, thoughts flashed through her moist almond eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed across her heart.

She remembered who supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum?

Jia Mu asked, "What is the outside world saying now?"

After all, after a lot of things, the collapse of the emperor's mausoleum is no small matter, and I'm afraid it will cause an uproar.

Jia Zheng said in a deep voice: "The two construction supervisors from the Ministry of Industry and the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all arrested and sent to prison. I think the Zhongshun Palace supervised the construction of the imperial tomb, and I'm afraid it was also involved in the case."

When it came to the end, Rao didn't gloat and celebrate, but there was a sense of relief in his heart that the enemy was gone.

Whether he can get back up or not doesn't really matter, the key is King Zhongshun, such a malicious prince is always watching his family covetously, it's really hard to sleep and eat.

Jiamu's complexion changed, and she was overjoyed, and said with emotion: "This is really..."

"Heavenly law recurs, retribution is not good", these words are not easy to say, after all, the matter involves the mausoleum, as a noble duke, he seems so happy.

Everyone in Tianxiang Tower looked at each other in blank dismay, digesting the news.

Like Baochai and Yuanchun, I still remember the scene where King Zhongshun went to see off Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian. It's only been a while...

Or because of the earthquake, could it be God's punishment?

A strange look appeared in Tan Chunyingxiu's eyebrows and eyes, and he said happily: "Old ancestor, isn't brother Heng in charge of Jinyi Mansion now? Is he in charge of the prison?"

Because Jia Zheng was mainly concerned about King Zhongshun, the archenemy of the Jia family, he only picked the matter that worried Jia's mother the most, while regarding Jia Heng's matter, he only mentioned the imperial edict, and there was no time to elaborate on it in the future.

"That's Brother Heng who is interrogating King Zhongshun." Yuan Chun also said in surprise.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue: "..."

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, suppressing the weirdness in her heart, with a complicated expression on her face, she smiled and said, "Don't tell me, I almost forgot, Brother Heng has a lot of errands, and there is a governor in brocade clothes, right? "

These words fell into the ears of others, and for some reason, they felt a little strange.

Jia Zheng then said: "Zi Yu is indeed the chief interrogator. I heard from Fu Shi that he has been arresting people all day. First, he arrested two officials from the Ministry of Industry, and Guo from the Tuntian Qingli Department. More than 30 officials including Lang Zhong, and the House of Internal Affairs led by King Zhongshun also arrested a lot of people, about 60 to [-] people were arrested."

"There are... so many?" Sister Feng asked in surprise, her eyes flickering when she heard the words.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, large and small officials, big fish and small shrimps, have arrested fifty or sixty people, and it is no exaggeration to say that this number will expand as time goes by.

What is Xingda Prison?

That is, although the prison is large, it cannot accommodate the prisoners it arrests.

"How did you arrest so many people?" Li Wan couldn't help but asked, with surprise on his elegant and beautiful face.

Tan Chun condensed his handsome eyebrows, and said softly: "This kind of big case involves a lot of people. I'm afraid it will involve hundreds of people. The man's head fell to the ground, or he died, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Secretary." , is horrible."

Mother Jia also sighed, and said with emotion: "When the prison is booming, I don't know how many families are crying."

Everyone was shocked, but immediately relaxed.

Without him, the main reason is that it has nothing to do with their Jia family, but can be imagined with a kind of detached pity. This kind of psychology is either sad for the death of a rabbit, or a miserable mentality of not being lucky.

Jia Zhengdao: "I heard that there was also a general who died in the House of Internal Affairs. I heard that Fu Shiyan gathered troops to resist arrest, but Ziyu beheaded him with the Son of Heaven sword!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone gasped.

Qin Keqing frowned slightly, although she knew that nothing had happened, she was unavoidably worried.

A hint of worry appeared in Baochai's apricot eyes.

Has he still fought with people?

Daiyu Qiushui's bright eyes were also worried, and she pinched the handkerchief with her hands hidden in her sleeves, feeling a surge of worry in her heart.

It's not that he forgot his own son, but...

"Participant?" Sister Feng Liu Shao raised her eyebrows, looked at Tanchun, and asked, "Third girl, what kind of official is this?"

Tanchun hasn't spoken yet.

Xiangyun supported his chest with one hand, Apple's round face was as rosy as a cloud, and he blurted out: "Isn't that the same as the general who my aunt said just now to marry the eldest sister?"

Mrs. Wang: "???"

Can't help but glance at Xiangyun, only to feel that Xiangyun's flattering apple-shaped face in the past is not cute at all.

Third Sister You was originally worried about that person, so she couldn't help laughing, she gave a "pop" laugh, and looked at the cute girl with her charming eyes painted with red eye shadow.

And this uncontrollable smile seemed to pierce the western scenery. At this moment, in Tianxiang Tower, there were strange eyes looking at Mrs. Wang, quite playful.

"What husband? What general?" Jia Zheng frowned, confused, and then looked at Yuan Chun.

His eldest daughter is going to marry someone, but he doesn't know?

Jia's mother said: "It was just now that Brother Yi's daughter-in-law said..."

A few words will be narrated.

"Baoyu's mother meant to let the big girl go, but didn't Brother Heng say earlier that the court is rectifying the frontier army, which is not appropriate." Jiamu said in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and she pursed her lips. What does the old lady mean by this? Is she asking the master to talk about her?

"Bullshit!"

At this moment, a heavy drink sounded in Tianxiang Tower, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Yuan Chun stared at his father, and his heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Wang's heart was shaken, and she couldn't help but look at Jia Zheng, and said: "Master, I also say yes, the girl can't keep delaying, Brother Heng insists on saying this is wrong, that is wrong..."

Jia Zheng frowned, but looked at Mrs. Wang, and reprimanded: "It's fine if you don't discipline Baoyu well at home, and you have to meddle in outside affairs!"

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth: "I...???"

Third Sister You had already covered her mouth with a smile, because the flowers were trembling because of her suppressed laughter.

Secretly thought, this second wife is really interesting.

Second Sister You tugged on Third Sister You's sleeve, her beautiful eyes turned white with anger, and she clearly signaled her sister to restrain herself, you haven't even passed the door yet!

Jia Zheng said in a deep voice: "Rectify the frontier army, this is the privy secretary of the military country, Brother Heng, he is a military counselor, and Wen Guozheng, since it is said that this marriage is inappropriate, then it must be inappropriate! The big girl's marriage is handed over to Brother Heng Go manage it, you are a woman, don't care about it in the future!"

Madam Wang: "..."

She doesn't care anymore?

So, whose daughter is this?She was pregnant in October, so she couldn't control her daughter's lifelong affairs?

God, is there such a thing in the world?

He was a little dazed for a while, his face was slightly pale, and he was reprimanded for the problem in public, but his limbs were cold and his dignity was lost.

Aunt Xue supported Mrs. Wang and persuaded: "Sister, listen to the second master."

Jia Zheng sighed, ignored Mrs. Wang, looked at Jia Mu, and said, "Mother, Brother Heng has said before that the loyal king will kill himself if he does many injustices. My aunt treats him, and now he is doing what he said. , what else does mother not understand?"

Just as Jia Heng thought before, if he spoke to Jia Zheng in advance, he would not receive the effect of sudden enlightenment.

When Jia Mu heard the words, her face paused, and she also faintly grasped some important points, and said in surprise: "Zheng'er, you mean?"

Yuan Chun's bright eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Didn't father just say that the two servants of the Ministry of Industry were arrested? Then Brother Heng..."

After all, she had worked as a female historian in the palace and served the queen. Now that she was reminded, she was keenly aware of something unusual.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

A look of amazement flashed across Tan Chunying's bright eyes, and he said, "Didn't these people deal with father before? Now they are all prisoners, and King Zhongshun, who bullied our family the day before yesterday, is now..."

Qin Keqing watched the scene of several people discussing, picked up the teacup, and said nothing.

Suddenly I remembered what my husband and father said, waiting for something to happen.

Just an earthquake, this kind of natural disaster?

Is my husband still able to predict the future?

Baochai also raised her beautiful eyebrows, her watery almond eyes were full of hard thinking, but she couldn't grasp the joints in it for a while.

She knew he was confident, but this earthquake...

Well, no, it should be that he already knew that there was a crime in the imperial mausoleum, even if there was no earthquake, there are other ways.

Jiamu suppressed the thoughts in her heart and said: "When Brother Heng comes back, you can make up the sum carefully. We women and Taoists can't see any way."

Seeing that the tense atmosphere had relaxed, Aunt Xue also went online to get work, and said with a smile: "I just said, Brother Heng knows what's in his heart, and we can't let others bully our family. There is always a way to think about it now." .”

None of them are stupid, they were pointed out all at once, how can there be such a coincidence, maybe it was planned long ago.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law was sitting aside at this moment, her face was red and white, she didn't want to leave for a while, she didn't want to leave, she lowered her head slightly, her face was not good-looking.

Sister Feng glanced sideways at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, with a half-smile on her face, and secretly said, "It's a good family dinner, but you just came here to make trouble. Now that it's all right, it's embarrassing again, isn't it?"

Looking at this scene, Yuan Chun's eyes flickered.

I don't know why, but suddenly I thought, let's make a fuss, so that my mother can no longer ask about her marriage from now on.

It can be regarded as... a blessing in disguise.

In this way, she and Brother Heng can...

Qin Keqing picked up the teacup at this moment, and glanced coldly at Mrs. Wang with her beautiful eyes.

Secretly thought, if it wasn't for etiquette, the second wife would have long since refused to invite her.

Xichun watched the scene coldly from the beginning to the end, and also glanced at Mrs. Wang.

The second wife has been targeting her brother Heng.

Just when everyone had different thoughts, suddenly a nun entered the attic and said: "Old lady, Grandma Heng, the uncle is back."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone who had different thoughts and was relatively silent was shocked, looking at the nanny, has the Lord finally returned?

Dai Yuyan frowned slightly, and looked at the nanny affectionately.

Qin Keqing hurriedly answered: "Qingwen, you go to see the uncle, maybe you have been busy all day, and you probably haven't eaten, let him come over and have dinner together."

Just now, Qingwen listened to the dispute of several people, and wanted to step forward several times to help, but remembering Jia Heng's advice, she was already so angry that her cheeks were puffed up at this moment. Hearing this, she quickly responded, and then went down to the attic , ran to the front hall.

When he came to the front hall, he raised his eyes and saw a tall and tall young man coming from the inner study, he seemed to be going out, and asked, "My lord, it's so late, why are you still going outside?"

Jia Heng smiled and said, "There are still important things to do."

"My lord, have you eaten yet? Grandma asked you to go to Tianxiang Tower." Qingwen asked hastily.

After Qingwen's reminder, Jia Heng realized that she hadn't had lunch since noon, and now she was hungry.

Seeing that Jia Heng was in a daze, Qingwen knew that she hadn't eaten, and complained distressedly: "Young master, you might as well go to Tianxianglou to eat something to make yourself comfortable. The old lady and the second master are both here. They said they have something to talk to you about."

Jia Heng thought that he was not in a hurry, so he nodded and said, "That's fine."

Not long after, Jia Heng walked through the illuminated Chaoshou corridor, climbed to the second floor of Tianxiang Building, bypassed a mountain and river screen, and came to the main hall.

"Old lady, grandma, uncle is here."

Following Mammy's call, the main hall suddenly became bustling.

The young man with a black cloak on his outside and a python suit on his inside stood with his sword in his hands, striding forward, facing the lights, his face was clear and soft, but it was just the grim face that was full of spirits in the past, looking a little dusty, especially the mountain character Wingless Crown Some water droplets condensed on the brim of the hat, under the light of the flickering candlelight, are shining brightly and showing off to the eyes.

This is coming and going in the rain.

Daiyu pursed her cherry lips, cut her watery autumn pupils, shimmering, and a poem suddenly floated in her heart lake: "Where the lights shine brightly, return to people on a rainy night."

Perhaps it was because he was away that they were the only ones guarding the quiet candlelight.

Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up to greet him, calling out, "Zi Yu."

The others also stared at the boy, but were silent for a while.

Jia Mu was silent for a moment, and asked, "Brother Heng, where did this come from?"

"I just came from Prince Zhongshun's Mansion." Under Qing Wen's service, Jia Heng paused and sat down.

"Prince Zhongshun?" Jia's mother was surprised and looked at her in amazement.

Jia Heng said: "Just now we led people to search Prince Zhongshun's mansion to collect criminal evidence."

As soon as this remark came out, the hall was startled suddenly, as if shocked by the earth, King Zhongshun has been confiscated in the palace?

The vassal king, have all their homes been ransacked?

This is too... Is this Xing Da Prison?

A strange flush flashed across Sister Feng's cheeks, she glanced at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, turned her phoenix eyes, and said in a charming voice: "This feudal lord, doesn't seem to be very appropriate?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law: "???"

What do you mean?

Are you finding fault?

The water thrown by the married daughter turned her elbow outward?

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Sister Feng, feeling cold in her heart.

Standing behind Sister Feng, Ping'er saw this, and hurriedly teased Sister Feng, who had already begun to become a "fun person", and hinted that this remark could also bring in the wife who "believes for now".

This is inappropriate...

"Pfft."

Third Sister You couldn't help laughing, her flowers trembled wildly, she seemed to be laughing so hard that she couldn't close her legs, she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she was holding back her laughter, but it just made the other people in the hall hear the laughter.

As Third Sister You's laughter spread, some people began to look weird, probably in a state of holding back their laughter.

Second Sister You's beautiful eyes were charming and flowing, and she glanced at her own younger sister, which made the girl a little more charming than her age group.

At this time, she seemed to understand what her sister meant, and she was expressing her solidarity with a certain old lady in this way.

Because as an outsider, I still don't have a concubine's room, it was really hard to help Grandma Heng and Mrs. Wang when they quarreled just now.

Otherwise, it would be a matter of a few words to tear up Mrs. Wang with her own sister's aggressive means.

At that time, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be unseemly for wives and concubines to bully guests, and instead it would discredit the face of that Uncle Heng.

Second Sister You couldn't help turning her beautiful eyes away when she thought about this, she stared at the boy in the python suit, and sighed secretly, how could there be such a perfect person in the world.

Jia Heng had no expression on his face, just glanced at Third Sister You, but instead responded to the pair of eyes full of affection, pulled his eyes away, and asked: "After eating, I have to go to the palace to meet the saint later, do you want to eat?" No? Hungry."

Having said that, I'm hungry...

It's just two simple words, but it seems to have a power to make the weird smile disappear just now.

Qin Keqing paused slightly, her heart tightened, for some reason, her nose was a little sour, and her eye circles were reddish.

Just now he was talking about killing a general, but he thought he was fighting with others again.

Turning to look at Baozhu and Ruizhu, he said anxiously: "Baozhu, Ruizhu, quickly prepare hot water, towels, bowls and chopsticks, and serve the uncle for dinner.

It's really someone's child, um, no, someone's man who loves him dearly.

Baochai's gentle and graceful appearance also showed pity and resentment, her white teeth bit her red lips, under the curved willow eyebrows, her moist and bright apricot eyes flashed, engraving the young man's cold face, It seems to be reflected in the heart lake.

She can also read some tiredness from the firm eyebrows in the past.

Not to mention, just now he was fighting with someone again...

Jia Heng took the copper basin, and under everyone's attention, he picked up the water and scrubbed his hands.

Reaching out to take the towel from Qingwen, she wiped her hands in a leisurely manner. The slender, white palms looked like jade under the candlelight, and there was almost a strange beauty.
