Jiang Yuqi is fourteen years old. She is slim and pretty, but she has a boyish nature and is naughty.
Hearing this, he pouted and said: "I know mother, brother, what's there to be afraid of? Isn't he just a big kid? He's not much older than Yuqi. I'm afraid he hasn't studied outside. His name is the same as that of the Song family. My brother even has the character "Qing" in his name, so I'm afraid he will be far away from the Song family brother!"
Princess Zheng couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Song Ruqing is an outsider after all. How can he not protect his brother and face outsiders? You are becoming more and more ignorant!"
Jiang Yuqi snorted heavily and looked away.
At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty!"
Princess Zheng immediately pulled Jiang Yuqi to sit upright.
Xiao Xinzhuo entered the room, glanced at mother and daughter, signaled Sai Qingzhu to put down the large and small packages of gifts, saluted and said with a smile: "I've met my aunt!"
"You don't need to be polite, Yuqing. Why bring any gifts at home? It's a joke!"
Princess Zheng was slightly reproachful, and then kindly motioned for Xin Zhuo to sit down. After thinking about it, she said, "I have no other intention of inviting you here. My aunt is an outspoken person and talks about things when she has something to say. That one of yours... that Xin Si, later changed her name." Xin Aotian is actually my aunt's slave... servant, there was a turmoil in the house and I took you away. My aunt is responsible for this and has caused you to suffer all these years. Yuqing can't blame her."
It turned out to be this. In fact, Xin Zhuo had already seen this. His grandfather’s bones were rusty. It didn’t matter who was right or wrong, but his mind suddenly moved and he pretended to be curious: "What happened back then? Why? Xin...si will take me out. The Jiang family has many servants and strict rules, which is somewhat...unreasonable, right?"
"There is nothing to hide about this matter. You will know sooner or later..."
Princess Zheng sighed: "Fourteen years ago, in the twelfth year of Tianshou, the 500,000-strong army of the seven countries in the Western Regions invaded in a large scale, defeated the Western Qin army three times, and captured thirty-one cities in a row!
The late emperor ordered the five princes of the Jiang family and twenty-six direct descendants, a total of thirty-one people, to go on an expedition. As a result, the entire army was wiped out and no one survived. The Western Qin frontier lost two states and twenty-seven prefectures.
When the news came, people in the capital were panicked. The Jiang family was in chaos, and rebels happened to rebel again. They burned, killed, and looted everywhere. Some of them took the opportunity to break into the Jiang family. Twelve boys who were direct descendants of the Jiang family were beheaded. If it weren't for the old lady and your mother, My sister Ji Jiuwei protected Yu Gui with a strong hand, and killed seven rebel generals to stabilize the position. I'm afraid... Xin Si took advantage of the chaos at that time and took you away, otherwise he wouldn't have had the chance. ? "
Having said this, she looked at his face and said: "Later, the old lady and your mother led a family full of widows to go on an expedition. Even my aunt went to the battle and killed one or two hundred people. Finally, they defeated the enemy forces in the Western Region and recovered the lost territory. .
In short, you don’t need to worry about this matter. The Jiang family is full of loyal people and is famous all over the world. No matter whether the royal family or the government and the public, they all owe our family! "
Xin Zhuo nodded. That battle must have been the battle of the Kunxu Demon. The entire Jiang family was wiped out. The eldest sister in Wu Zhuzhong said it was a trap. And according to Princess Zheng, this matter was really a bit strange!
Twelve boys from the Jiang family were killed, but no girls...
Princess Zheng has already pulled over Jiang Yuqi: "Come and see my brother!
"I've met my brother, Yuqi is so polite!"
Jiang Yuqi blinked her big eyes like cattail leaf fans, looked Xin Zhuo up and down, and suddenly said: "My brother is the direct eldest son of the Jiang family. I'm afraid he will inherit the throne of the county king in the near future. From now on, you will decide the Jiang family. Can you send someone to help?" Yuqi proposes marriage, Yuqi likes brother Song Ruqing of the Song family!"
"Yaqi!"
Princess Zheng was indescribably embarrassed.
Xin Zhuo thought it was a bit funny that a female college student could not be admitted, so she asked: "Then what is the background of the Song family? Can you tell me?"
Jiang Yuqi tilted his head: "The young master of She's family, the right servant of Shangshu Province, is now serving in Fengjian Division!"
The official position is not small, and he is considered to be a good match. Xin Zhuo waved his hand: "Okay! When my brother tests this person in the future, I will definitely know that grandma will make the decision for you!"
Jiang Yuqi blinked: "Brother, it's better not to test him. Brother Ruqing is extremely high in martial arts and has good literary talent. You can't compare to him!"
Xin Zhuo: "..."
Just based on your words, the matter of your marriage is blown! Your brother holds a grudge.
Princess Zheng couldn't help but angrily scolded: "Yuqi, you don't understand the rules!"
Jiang Yuqi stuck out her tongue and made a face at Xin Zhuo: "That's it, my elder brother who can't do anything!"
Xin Zhuo looked at Princess Zheng and almost said, "Can I beat her?"
"After your fourth uncle left, your aunt was not strict in discipline, which made Yu Qing laugh!" Princess Zheng was even more embarrassed.
"It's okay, we're still young! In addition, the incident with Xin Si, please rest assured, Auntie, it's all over!"
The two chatted for a while longer, and Xin Zhuo indicated that he would send some scriptures to Jiang Yuqi in the afternoon for Jiang Yuqi to copy ten times. With brother Quan's love and affection, he stood up and left.
As a result, just as they left the courtyard, another steward came hurriedly from a distance and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Second Young Master has invited you!"
Second Young Master? Jiang Yugyu?
Xin Zhuo was actually very curious about this brother. It was said that this boy was only half a year younger than him. He was proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and committed all sorts of evil deeds. He was one of the notorious bad guys in the capital.
He is quite a... elegant person!
As the steward moved forward, he bypassed the layers of pavilions and finally arrived in front of the "Fengxing Courtyard".
"Fengxingyuan" is also the residence of Jiang's legitimate son, and is only one word different from Xin Zhuo's "Fengweiyuan". "Wei" seems to have more meanings than "Xing".
"Get closer, get closer, okay! Don't move!"
There was a shout in the spacious and luxurious courtyard, and more than twenty servants in green were seen pushing a huge wooden high caster ladder. Sitting on it was a young man in golden clothes with a square face and round eyes. At first glance, he looked quite serious. , if you look closely, it’s full of cunning and cunning,
At this time, we are on base... rockery? Or stacking blocks randomly.
Starting from the wooden table on the bottom floor, stools, stones, water tanks, screens, and wooden boxes are stacked layer by layer without any supports. They are crooked, but they are only three feet high without falling down.
"Second Young Master, be careful!"
Not far away, more than a dozen beautiful maids were extremely nervous. They obviously didn't have the ability to catch their young master, so they just stretched out their arms.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" The steward who led the way respectfully brought an imperial chair.
"It's okay!" Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves, sat down with a golden sword, and raised his head to look at the only third-generation direct male of the Jiang family besides himself.
A fifth-level martial artist, how should I describe her appearance? Without such a family background, and born in a small ordinary rural household, it would be difficult for her to find a wife.
"Change the position and go to another table! It can also be superimposed!"
Jiang Yugui was sweating, yelling, signaling the slaves to move the cart, struggling to lift a large table, and put it on the "Bulk Mountain".
Quite boring!
Xin Zhuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the servants of Fenxingyuan who were worried about his young master not far away. He turned around and said to the four girls: "Look at my maids, and then look at you!"
The corners of Sai Qingzhu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at his nose and heart with his eyes. Yam and Sweet Potato snorted and looked away.
However, Xiongzhao blinked his eyes and twitched his pointed ears: "Your Majesty, go up and we will follow you!"
"That's not necessary!" Xin Zhuo continued to watch in his spare time.
Jiang Yugui was busy working for a while, and finally it was over. He jumped off the wooden wheel ladder, looked at his masterpiece, clapped his hands with satisfaction, then remembered Xin Zhuo, and turned around without politeness, saying as if he was familiar with it: "How is it? "
Xin Zhuo pretended to appreciate it carefully: "Awesome!"
"Awesome? Ha, that's a good word! My brother is an elegant man!"
Jiang Yugui asked his subordinates to bring chairs as well, and sat together with Xin Zhuo. He called out a few more snacks, pinched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth. He shook his head and said with a confused look: "Except for me, no one else in the capital has this skill." A few people can do it, and I plan to pass it on to future generations, what do you think, brother?"
"Well, I think it's okay!"
Xin Zhuo nodded and asked again: "But are you sure... is this fun?"
"It's fun!" Jiang Yugui blinked and handed over a piece of candy. Seeing that Xin Zhuo didn't want it, he smiled: "How can ordinary people understand the way of balance? Brother, do you understand?"
