Tianxiang Tower
Wang Yi's wife led several nuns into the hall. Facing the eyes of all the women, she first smiled and saluted Jia Mu.
"How is the old lady?"
Jia Mu nodded, exchanged greetings, and while inviting Wang Yi's wife to sit down, she asked with a smile: "My brother-in-law, why are you free to come here today?"
Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Didn't I congratulate your old lady and your wife?"
"Congratulations?" Mother Jia was surprised and looked at Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue with confusion on her face.
Sister Feng looked at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "What my cousin said is strange, but I don't know what kind of happy events can happen at home now. Could it be that the magpies were chirping so early in the morning that I got up too late and didn't hear them?"
Hearing this, Mother Jia smiled and said, "My sworn brother and my daughter-in-law are here to sit down. Not only is it a happy occasion, they are also Yu'er's children. We should have two more children."
Everyone laughed.
Mother Jia is actually happy to see Sister Feng recover from her "quasi-widowed" state. After all, the days without Sister Feng really lack a lot of happiness.
However, Li Wan, Sichun, Chai Dai, and Xiang Yun all looked at Wang Yi's wife in surprise.
Baochai had just picked up a lychee on the plate, put it into his mouth and ate it. At this time, listening to the guest's words, he took the handkerchief and spit the core 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. In addition, because of the allusion of riding a red concubine and laughing, Baochai usually does not show it to others.
Wang Yi's wife smiled, looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting not far away, and said, "This is not for the sake of the eldest girl's good son."
As soon as these words came out, all the women in Rongqing Hall were shocked. A good thing is a happy event and a marriage.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Sister Feng's mouth. Her soft and shining red eyes were bright and lively. 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 was almost a widow, gradually had the mentality of watching the jokes “soberly in the world”.
Baochai's watery apricot eyes were like dew. He couldn't help but look at Yuanchun and looked at his cousin's jade face, which was as red as the core of a hibiscus flower. It was originally as red as clouds, but now it was as pale as paper, and her lips didn't know when. It has been gradually picked up.
In fact, when Wang Yi's wife came over, Yuan Chun had vaguely guessed what kind of medicine was being sold in her gourd. Now that it was confirmed, her face turned pale, and her heart tugged at her throat.
Bringing up her marriage again.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's strange. I don't know what's so good about it?"
Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "This is not the Pingyuan Hou family, you know that, right? This is an old relative of our family. He is the general of Datong Mansion in Shizhen. You also know Jiang Zining, the lord of Pingyuan Mansion. Yes, now he has a son who is young and talented. He is now a fourth-grade general and has an unlimited future. It should be fate to be together."
Mother Jia's face moved slightly, and she asked with great interest: "The Pingyuan Hou family is in Datong Mansion now?"
In fact, it is not only Mrs. Wang who is worried about Yuanchun's marriage, but also Mrs. Jia?
With the exile of Jia She and his son, the decline of Rongguo Mansion has become apparent. According to the well-matched couple, the vassal king's side concubine is really not something that can be expected to be well matched.
No wonder Mrs. Wang hates someone so much.
In fact, in the original work, even if Jia She did not fall, the decline of Jia's family can be seen from the fact that Baoyu married a merchant's daughter as his head wife.
A standard military-honored family should then marry into the Tian family. The next best thing should be to seek marriages with civil servants and officials to enhance the family status, rather than military generals and merchants.
Let me ask, why is Jia Mu not a staunch Bao Dai Party?
When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Mu's reaction, she felt confident and looked slightly happy. She knew that the old lady would be happy to see it happen. As long as the old lady said something, the eldest girl's marriage would be half done.
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 nerve to interfere?
Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Old lady, they have also fallen in love with our eldest girl. They originally came to propose marriage a few days ago, but it seemed a bit abrupt. Thinking about the sophisticated friendship between our two families, Hou, just let the old lady make the decision and be more intimate."
A kind smile appeared on Jia Mu's old face, and she nodded and said: "Old Gaoming of Pingyuanhou's family is very polite. In the first ten years, she and I also traveled a lot in Beijing. Later, the whole family went to Datong to guard the border. We have someone in Beijing to look after the house, so we don't move around much, but during the holidays, we prepare generous gifts for each other. In this way, we really have a sophisticated friendship."
When Wang Yi's daughter-in-law heard this, she was very happy, with a smile on her pretty face, and said: "Old lady, look, you will know it as soon as I tell you! The Pingyuan Hou family is in Datong, and the head of the family leads the Datong president. There are many brothers in the clan who have military positions, but there is only one title, but all the brothers have made contributions at the border. Speaking of which, Jiang Xu is also a man of literary and military skills. He has made contributions at the border. He is now twenty years old. , she is already a fourth-grade general. As I said before, the eldest girl in our family has been a female historian in the palace. She knows the rules and etiquette, and she is generous to others. What’s even better is that she is one year older, like a eldest daughter. Just like my sister, she knows how to feel cold and hot, and she is considerate of others."
These words are naturally not Jiang Xu's words, but words made up by Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, who is a "matchmaker", when she was trying to secure 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 his reaction.
Xiangyun held her cheek and thought to herself, the eldest sister is also leaving the cabinet, so we can't be naughty together in the future.
Well, it turns out that when she follows Brother Heng, she often doesn’t see anyone.
Daiyu held her handkerchief and pursed her lips, looking at Yuanchun with starry eyes, looking at Yuanchun's expression curiously.
Yuan Chun was ashamed when he heard this, his cheeks were red, and he was very anxious, and said hurriedly: "Ancestor, Brother Heng said that the imperial court is determined to rectify the border army, and it is hard to predict the future of the home of the generals in the border town."
As soon as these words came out, it was like pressing the pause button for Tianxiang Tower, and also interrupted the "double yellow child" between Wang Yi's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Wang.
As expected, Jia Mu frowned. If someone else said this, she might not believe it, but now that Jia Heng said it, she should not ignore it.
Mother Jia smiled, looked at Wang Yi's wife, whose smile was frozen on her face, and said, "Brother Yi, my daughter-in-law, you don't know, Brother Heng is in charge of the eldest girl's marriage."
Yuan Chun's face looked a little unnatural. He turned to look at Mrs. Wang and whispered: "Mom, Brother Heng said it before, why are you still mentioning it now?"
Mrs. Wang smiled, her heart filled with gloom.
She, a big girl, opens her mouth to Hengdi, shuts up to Hengdi, you silly girl, how can you still spend the rest of your life with your Hengdi? Such a big girl has to leave the court, right?
My elbows always turn outward, what's going on?
But these words can only be considered in the mind and cannot be said out loud.
"Old lady, I told Brother Heng in private the other day that Brother Heng said that the border generals were closed and the court wanted to rectify the border troops. This family is not appropriate. I have been thinking about this matter over and over in the past few days and asked I asked Baoyu about his uncle, and it seemed that he wanted to rectify the border army, but the Pingyuan Hou family lived in Datong and blocked the barbarians in the north, so the palace always valued him." Mrs. Wang recounted.
Wang Yi's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "What my aunt said is that the Jiang family has fought a lot of wars, and no matter how hard it is to rectify it, it will not fall on others. In fact, I am not talking about Brother Heng. He is a senior official." , becoming more and more cautious, which is said to be a good thing, but sometimes it is not... Last time, I said that King Chu was not appropriate. The vassal king has the blood of the Tian family, how can it be inappropriate? "
This is a rehash of old scores, talking about the last time the Zhen family's nanny came to tell the story about King Chu's request for Yuanchun to be his concubine, thus establishing an image of "Jia Heng keeps doing bad things".
Mentioning the King of Chu, Mrs. Wang felt bitter in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Brother Heng is worried that the vassal king is not appropriate and will implicate the clan. I believe it for the time being. Now he is saying that the side general is not appropriate." , this makes me confused, who is the right one? I asked him last time, but he didn’t say anything. At this age of the girl, he really can’t hold his anger! Old lady, as the saying goes, whose child is Who is worried? What I worry about now is that I can’t sleep at night.”
Yuan Chun frowned and pursed his lips.
What does it mean that at her age, Hengdi can really hold on to her anger?
Qin Keqing quietly listened to Mrs. Wang and Wang Yi's wife working in vain. She took the tea cup handed by the maid Baozhu and took a sip, her beautiful eyes gradually became cold.
Fengwan, Sanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun also listened quietly, unable to interrupt.
However, Mrs. Please grant me the imperial edict, people like us don’t dare to expect too much.”
When Mrs. Xing said the imperial edict, she paused for a moment. It was obvious that these two words affected something sad.
Well, not long ago, the Ministry of Rites also took back Mrs. Xing's imperial status.
However, although Mrs. Xing's words were full of the snobbery of a small family, they were not truthful and struck the nail on the head and pierced the illusion.
Most of them are in their twenties. Now that they are left, why are they still picking and choosing?
For a family like ours, it would be great to find someone like this.
Well, unless it is produced and sold internally and digested internally.
Qin Keqing put down the tea cup and said in a clear voice: "What do the eldest wife and the second wife mean by saying this? Are they saying that my husband won't let the eldest sister have a good home?"
The two sisters were secretly accusing her husband of being a bad person, both in words and in words, which was totally unreasonable!
Yuanchun lowered his head, feeling ashamed at this moment. He mentioned her marriage in front of her sisters. How would she get along with her 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 the painstaking efforts of a mother like me. The marriage has been arranged to be a good match. The master is no longer an official outside. The girl is in a hurry, why am I, a mother, not in a hurry?"
It has to be said that Mrs. Wang, who is a little expert in house fighting, played the "sadness card" of changing her heart. At this moment, Qin Keqing seemed a little bit aggressive.
After hearing Qin Keqing's words, Jia's mother felt a little annoyed and hurriedly advised her, "Baoyu's mother, this is Yu'er's biological son, and in front of all the children, can't we say it after we go back?"
The relationship between the east and west governments is now subtly tight, and everything needs to be discussed and negotiated. Otherwise, if this continues, there will be a rift, and what will be done in the future?
Qin Keqing looked indifferent and said, "There's no need to carry a gun or a stick. Doesn't my husband still owe you?"
When Jia Mu heard this, her expression changed slightly and she said hurriedly: "Brother Heng, my daughter-in-law, Baoyu's mother didn't mean this."
Mrs. Wang's face froze for a moment, and she was a little panicked. She sighed: "Brother Heng, my daughter-in-law, I never thought of this. It's just that it's not a problem if I delay it day by day. Brother Heng, look at him all day long." He's as busy as anything. He's going to the Beijing Camp and the Military Aircraft Office, so he can't bother him with everything. Last time he talked about the master's affairs at the Ministry of Industry, but he didn't even care about it. Well, I'm not that person. mean."
No matter how difficult it is today, the eldest girl's marriage must be finalized in front of Brother Heng's daughter-in-law and the old lady, otherwise there may be recurrences later.
When Jia Mu heard this, she felt a little unhappy, but she had to admit that there was some truth in what Mrs. Wang said.
He sighed secretly.
The family is also in decline, and Brother Heng is really holding on to his anger. He still has no explanation for the eldest girl's marriage.
For a moment, Tianxiang Tower fell into an eerie silence.
Mainly because of Mrs. Wang's identity and because she was involved in Yuanchun's marriage.
Yuanchun himself couldn't make more excuses in front of everyone, and he couldn'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 couldn't interrupt too much. She just exchanged glances with her sweet daughter across from her.
Baochai's apricot eyes flashed, as if she glanced at Mrs. Gaoming sitting at the top. Seeing that her face was as clear as frost, he could actually understand her mood. It seemed that he was deliberately obstructing her.
In fact, in the final analysis, Mrs. Wang was forced to become anxious, and the rabbit bitten when it was anxious.
Mother Jia let out a long sigh and felt a headache. The main reason was that she couldn't control Brother Heng's thoughts.
At first, she said she would let him take care of it, but now she repeated it midway. This not only showed her distrust of him, but also hurt the friendship between the two Rong Ning families.
Facing the gazes of all the people, Jia Mu thought for a while and said, "How about waiting for Brother Heng to come back and letting him discuss this matter with Mr. Baoyu and her mother?"
At this moment, Jia Mu still chose to live in mud.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang could not accept such a result and opened her mouth, about to say something.
Suddenly, when everyone had different thoughts, they heard Lin Zhixiao's family hurried 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 birthday. Jia Zheng, as his uncle, has no reason to come to his niece to have a baby. This is a matter for Mrs. Wang, the head wife.
However, he also thought that Jia Zheng would come over, so he interrupted this section, solved the problem, and said quickly: "Let him in."
Lin Zhixiao's family responded and turned back to call Jia Zheng to come up.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang naturally stopped her words.
Wang Yi's wife also curled her lips.
Not long after, Jia Zheng went up to the second floor and greeted Jia Mu first. Before Jia Mu asked her why, she frowned and asked, "Ziyu hasn't come back yet?"
At this time, the night was falling and the lanterns were starting to come on, but the lights in Tianxiang Tower were as bright as day.
"Why are you looking for him?" Jia Mu asked curiously.
Jia Zheng sat down on the embroidered pier and said: "Mother, just now Fu Shi from Jingzhao Yamen came over and said that a big event happened in Beijing today, that is, the earthquake that happened when I was a child, the Emperor's Gongling Mausoleum..."
Unlike Fu Shi, who was overjoyed, because the safety of the royal mausoleum was involved, Jia Zheng's heart was still a little heavy, and there was no joy on his face.
"The imperial mausoleum collapsed, and the Holy Emperor was furious."
Mother Jia's face changed slightly and she exclaimed, "This is a big deal."
Everyone in Tianxiang Tower also looked slightly surprised. They knew that there was an earthquake in the middle of the afternoon, but the movement didn't look big, and only a few tiles fell. How could this shake the imperial mausoleum?
Baochai held the handkerchief, thoughts flashed in her moist apricot eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed across her heart.
She remembers who supervised the construction of the imperial tomb?
Jia Mu asked: "What is the outside world saying now?"
After all, it has been through a lot, and the collapse of the Emperor's mausoleum is not a trivial matter, and may 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 the imperial prison. I think Prince Zhongshun, who supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum, may have been involved."
At the end of the day, even though there was no gloating about the misfortune, there was still a sense of relief in my heart that the enemy was gone.
It doesn't really matter whether he can recover or not. The key is to be loyal and obedient to the king. Such a malicious prince is always eyeing the family, which really makes people sleep and eat uneasily.
Mother Jia's expression changed, and she felt happy and said with emotion: "This is really..."
"The cycle of heaven brings retribution." It was hard to say these words. After all, the matter involved the mausoleum. As a noble official of the country, he seemed to be very happy.
Everyone in Tianxiang Tower looked at each other in confusion, digesting the news.
Such as Baochai and Yuanchun, they still remember the scene when King Zhongshun went to see off Jia She and Jia Lian. How long ago,...
Or is it because of the earthquake? Is it a divine punishment?
A strange look appeared in Tan Chunying's beautiful eyebrows, and she said happily: "Ancestor, isn't Brother Heng in charge of Jinyi Mansion now? Is he in charge of the imperial prison?"
Because Jia Zheng was mainly concerned about King Zhongshun, the great enemy of the Jia family, he only focused on the matter that worried Jia's mother the most. As for Jia Heng's matter, he only mentioned the imperial edict and did not have time to elaborate on it.
"That's Brother Heng who is interrogating King Zhongshun." Yuan Chun also said in shock.
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue: "..."
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, looked complicated, and said with a smile: "Tan girl aside, I almost forgot, Brother Heng has a lot of errands, and he also has a commander-in-chief in brocade, right? "
When these words fell into the ears of others, for some reason, they felt a bit strange.
Jia Zheng then said: "Ziyu is indeed the chief judge. I heard from Fu Shi that he has been arresting people all day. First, he arrested two officials from the Ministry of Industry, and also Guo Langzhong from the Tuntian Cleaning Department. Along with more than thirty officials, the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the leadership of King Zhongshun also arrested many people, almost fifty or sixty people were arrested."
"There...are so many?" Sister Feng's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she asked in surprise.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two offices of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including officials big and small, big fish and small shrimps, arrested fifty or sixty people, and as time goes by, this number will expand.
What is Xingda Prison?
Even though the prison is big, the prisoners cannot fit inside it.
"Why have so many people been arrested?" Li Wan couldn't help but say, his elegant face showing surprise.
Tan Chun condensed his heroic eyebrows and said softly: "Such a big eucalyptus has so many implicates that I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it if it involves hundreds of people. The men's heads will fall to the ground, and they will either live or die, and the women will be thrown into the classroom." Si, it’s terrible.”
Jia's mother also had a look of sadness on her face and said with emotion: "When the prison breaks out, I don't know how many people cry."
Everyone was shocked, but then relaxed.
Without him, it mainly has nothing to do with their Jia family, but can be imagined with a detached feeling of pity. This kind of mentality is either a rabbit's death and a fox's sorrow, or a mentality of comparing the misfortune to one's own luck.
Jia Zheng said: "I heard that a general died in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard Fu Shiyan gathered troops to resist arrest, but Ziyu killed him with the emperor's sword!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath.
Qin Keqing frowned slightly. Although he knew that nothing happened, he was still worried.
Baochai's apricot eyes showed a hint of worry.
Has he started fighting with others?
Daiyu's bright eyes were also filled with worry. The hand hidden in her sleeve squeezed the handkerchief, and a worry surged in her heart.
It's not that he forgot his own son, but...
"General?" Sister Feng's eyebrows twitched, she looked at Tan Chun and asked, "Third girl, how big an official is this?"
Tanchun hasn't spoken yet.
Xiangyun held his hat in one hand, his apple round face as rosy as the clouds, and blurted out: "Isn't that the same general as my aunt said just now who wants to marry my eldest sister?"
Mrs. Wang: “???”
I couldn't help but glance at Xiangyun, only to realize that Xiangyun's cute apple-round face was no longer charming at all.
Sanjie You, who was originally worried about that person, couldn't help laughing. She laughed and looked at the cute and charming girl with her charming eyes painted with red eye shadow.
And this uncontrollable smile seemed to pierce the Western scene. At this moment, in Tianxiang Tower, there were strange eyes looking at Mrs. Wang, which was full of amusement.
"What husband? What general?" Jia Zheng frowned, confused, and then looked at Yuanchun.
His eldest daughter was getting married, but he didn't know?
Jia Mu said, "It was my sworn brother's daughter-in-law who said just now..."
A few words will be narrated.
"Baoyu's mother meant to allow the eldest girl to come over, but Brother Heng said earlier that the imperial court was reorganizing the border troops, which was not appropriate." Jia Mu said in a low voice.
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and she pursed her lips. What did the old lady mean by this? Was she asking the master to talk about her?
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, a deep drink sounded in Tianxiang Tower, making everyone's hearts tremble.
Yuanchun stared at his father, and his heart skipped a beat.
Mrs. Wang's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but cast her expectant eyes on Jia Zheng, and said: "Master, I also say yes. The eldest girl can't keep delaying. Brother Heng insists on saying that this is inappropriate and that is inappropriate..."
Jia Zheng frowned, but he looked at Mrs. Wang and scolded: "It's just that you don't discipline Baoyu well at home, but you still have to get involved in things outside!"
Mrs. Wang opened her mouth: "I...???"
Third Sister You had already covered her mouth with laughter. Because she was holding back her laughter, the flower branches were trembling wildly, and the snow under the skirt of her chest was shaking a few times.
I thought to myself, this second wife is really interesting.
Second Sister You tugged at Third Sister You's sleeves, her beautiful eyes turned white with anger at Third Sister You, clearly signaling to her sister to restrain herself, you haven't come across yet!
Jia Zheng said in a deep voice: "To rectify the border army, this is the Privy Council of the Military State. Brother Heng, he is the counselor of the military aircraft and the affairs of the country. Since this marriage is inappropriate, it must not be appropriate! The marriage of the eldest girl is left to Brother Heng. Go and take care of it, you are a womanly person, don’t take care of it anymore!”
Mrs. Wang: "..."
She doesn't have to worry about it anymore?
So, whose daughter is this? She was pregnant in ten months, so she couldn't care less about her daughter's lifelong affairs?
God, is there such a thing in the world?
He was a little confused for a moment, his face turned slightly pale, and he was reprimanded in public for his question, but his limbs were cold and his dignity was lost.
Aunt Xue supported Mrs. Wang on the side and advised: "Sister, listen to the second master."
Jia Zheng sighed, ignored Mrs. Wang, looked at Jia Mu, and said: "Mother, Brother Heng said before that if the loyal and obedient king does unjust things, he will die. My aunt treats him, and now he is following his words. , is there anything else that mother doesn’t understand?”
Just as Jia Heng had thought before, if he had made it clear to Jia Zheng in advance, he would not have the effect of a sudden realization. Jia Zheng came all the way, and when he recalled the past, he felt that every word was in agreement.
When Jia Mu heard this, her face paused, and she vaguely grasped some key points, and said in shock: "Zheng'er, what do you mean?"
Yuan Chun's bright eyes flashed and he said softly: "Didn't father just say that the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry were arrested? Then Brother Heng..."
After all, she had been a female historian in the palace and served the queen. Now that she was prompted, she was keenly aware of something unusual.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
A flash of surprise flashed through Tan Chunying's bright eyes, and he said: "Didn't these people just deal with my father before? Now they are all prisoners. There is also King Zhongshun, who bullied our family the day before yesterday, and now..."
Qin Keqing looked at the discussion among several people and picked up the tea cup without saying a word.
Suddenly, I remembered what my husband and father said to wait for changes.
Just an earthquake, this kind of natural disaster?
Is it possible for a husband to predict the future?
Baochai also frowned, her moist apricot eyes showed hard thoughts, and she couldn't grasp the joints for a while.
She knew he was confident, but this earthquake...
Well, no, he should have known for a long time that there was something wrong in the imperial mausoleum. Even if there was no earthquake, there were other ways.
Jia Mu suppressed her thoughts and said, "When Brother Heng comes back, no matter how you all sum it up, we women, we won't be able to find any clues."
Seeing that the tense atmosphere had relaxed, Aunt Xue also came online to take the job at this time and said with a smile: "I just said, Brother Heng knows what he knows, and we can't let others bully our family. There is always a way to think of it now .”
They are not stupid people. They were exposed all of a sudden. How could such a coincidence happen? It cannot be said that it was planned in advance.
Wang Yi's wife was sitting aside at this time, her face was red and white. She didn't want to leave for a while, nor did she want to leave. She lowered her head slightly and looked ugly.
Sister Feng glanced sideways at Wang Yi's wife, with a half-smiling look on her face, and said secretly, "It's a nice family dinner, but you just came over to make trouble. Now that it's fine, it's embarrassing again, isn't it?"
Yuanchun looked at this scene, his eyes flashed.
I don't know why, but a thought suddenly came to my mind. It would be better to make a fuss, so that my mother would no longer be able to interfere with her marriage from now on.
It can be considered...a blessing in disguise.
This way she can be with Hengdi...
Qin Keqing picked up the tea cup and glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly with her beautiful eyes.
He secretly thought that if it were not for the etiquette, the second wife would not have wanted to invite her over.
Xichun watched this scene with cold eyes from beginning to end, and also glanced at Mrs. Wang.
The second wife has been targeting her brother Heng.
Just when everyone had different thoughts, suddenly a grandma entered the attic and said: "Old lady, Grandma Heng, uncle is back."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had been relatively silent with different thoughts was shocked and looked at the nanny. Has the rightful owner finally returned?
Dai Yuyan frowned slightly and looked at the nanny with affection.
Qin Keqing hurriedly answered: "Qingwen, go over and see the uncle. Xu has been busy all day and probably hasn't eaten. Ask him to come over and eat with us."
Qingwen just listened to the argument between several people and wanted to come forward to help several times. However, remembering Jia Heng's instructions, she was already so angry that her cheeks were bulging. After hearing the words, she quickly agreed and then went down to the attic. , ran to the front hall.
When he came to the front hall, he looked up and saw a tall young man coming from the inner study. He seemed to be going out, and asked: "Sir, it's so late, why are you still going out?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I still have something important to go to."
"Sir, have you had your meal? Grandma asked you to go to Tianxiang Tower." Qingwen asked hurriedly.
After Qingwen's reminder, Jia Heng was shocked to realize that he had not had lunch since noon, and now he was feeling hungry.
Seeing Jia Heng stunned, Qingwen realized that she had not eaten, and complained distressedly: "Young Master might as well go to Tianxiang Tower to have something to sleep on first. The old lady and the Second Master are both here, saying they have something to talk to Young Master."
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 corridor, climbed to the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, walked around a mountain and river screen, and came to the main hall.
"Old lady, grandma, uncle is here."
As grandma called, the main hall suddenly became busy.
A young man wearing a black cloak and a python suit stood on his sword and strode towards the light. His face was clear and soft, but the stern face that used to be full of energy looked a bit dusty, especially the mountain-shaped wingless crown. Some water droplets condensed on the brim of the hat shone brightly under the flickering candlelight, dazzling the eyes.
This is a trip in the rain.
Daiyu pursed her lips, cut the water, and the waves were dotted, and a poem suddenly appeared in her heart: "Where the lights are shining, I return home on a stormy night."
Perhaps it was because he was outside that they could guard a peaceful candlelight.
Jia Zheng stood up quickly to greet him and called out, "Ziyu."
The others also stared at the young man, but were silent for a moment.
Jia Mu was silent for a moment and asked, "Brother Heng, where did this come from?"
"Just came here from Prince Zhongshun's Mansion." Under Qingwen's service, Jia Heng paused and sat down.
"Prince Zhongshun's Mansion?" Jia Mu was startled and looked at him in surprise.
Jia Heng said: "I just led people to inspect Prince Zhongshun's mansion to collect evidence of crimes."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly shocked, as if it was an earth-shattering shock. Has King Zhongshun been raided and inspected the palace?
The vassal king's house was confiscated?
This is too...is this Xingda Prison?
A strange flush flashed across Sister Feng's cheeks, she glanced at Wang Yi's wife, her eyes turned, and she said in a charming voice: "This vassal king doesn't seem to be very appropriate?"
Wang Yi’s wife: “???”
What do you mean?
Are you looking for trouble?
The married daughter splashed out water and turned her elbows outward?
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but glance at Sister Feng sideways, her heart felt cold.
Ping'er was standing behind Sister Feng. When he saw this, he quickly touched Sister Feng, who had begun to become a "fun person", and indicated that these words would also bring in his wife who "tentatively believed".
This is not appropriate...
"Pfft."
Third Sister You couldn't help laughing, her flowers were trembling, and she seemed to be laughing so hard that she couldn't close her legs. She just covered her mouth with a handkerchief, as if to suppress her laughter, but it was just enough for other people in the hall to hear the laughter.
As Sister You San's laughter spread, some people began to look strange, probably in a state of suppressing laughter.
Second Sister You's beautiful eyes were charming, and she glanced at her younger sister, which gave the girl a bit more aura than her age.
At this time, she seemed to understand what her sister meant. She was using this method to express her support for a certain lady.
Because as an outsider, I still have no concubine, so it was really hard to help Grandma Heng and Mrs. Wang when they had a quarrel just now.
Otherwise, it would only take a few words to tear Mrs. Wang apart with her own sister's ruthless tactics.
At that time, in the eyes of outsiders, it was like a wife and concubine bullying guests, which was not decent, but it brought a black mark on the face of Mr. Heng.
Second Sister You couldn't help but turn her beautiful eyes away when she thought about this. She looked at the boy in the python suit with longing eyes, sighing secretly, how could there be such a perfect person in the world.
Jia Heng had no expression on his face and just glanced at Sister You. Instead, he responded with a pair of affectionate eyes. He looked away and asked: "After dinner, I have to go to the palace to meet the saint later. Do you have anything to eat?" No? I'm hungry."
As soon as I said this, I felt hungry...
Just two simple words, but they seemed to have the power to make the weird smile disappear.
Qin Keqing's face paused slightly and her heart tightened. For some reason, her nose was a little sore and her eye circles were slightly red.
Just now I was talking about killing a general, but I thought he was fighting with someone again.
Turning to look at Baozhu and Ruizhu, he said urgently: "Baozhu, Ruizhu, quickly prepare hot water and towels, bowls quickly, and wait for the uncle to eat.
It’s really someone’s child, um, no, someone’s man who feels sorry for him.
Baochai's gentle and graceful face also showed love and resentment. She bit her pink lips that were slightly red. Under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, her moist and bright apricot eyes flashed, imitating the cold face of the young man. It seems to be reflected in the lake of my heart.
She could also read some signs of exhaustion in the firm eyebrows of the past.
Not to mention, I was fighting with someone just now...
Jia Heng took the copper basin, and under the attention of everyone, he picked up the water and washed his hands.
He reached out and took the towel handed by Qingwen, and took a moment to wipe his hands. His slender, white palms looked like jade under the candlelight, giving him a strange sense of beauty.
