"Tongxi, you stay." Late at night, after Tongxi and Tonggui helped Aunt Xue to sleep, and were about to go out, Tongxi was stopped by Aunt Xue who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Tongxi's expression changed slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed. Tonggui, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, gave his good friend a helpless expression, and quickly walked out of the room with foot-washing water.
After pouring out the water for washing feet, Tonggui did not dare to go into the back room and eavesdrop. Instead, he fetched water to wash himself. After leaving some water for his companion, he closed the front and back doors of the main house and went to each other. Chu Dengzhu checked it once before going to sleep in the maid's night watch room.
But how could she sleep? All she could think about was what Aunt Xue was doing when she left Tongxi behind. Did she really discover something good about Tongxi?
If this is the case, what should we do? Will the wife drive Tongxi away? Thinking of this, Tonggui was worried about his friend of many years, but he couldn't help but turn red and secretly spat.
She deserved to be kicked out, but she was so brave that she dared to seduce the Marquis openly! Although the light was dark and she was far away, she was not stupid. Although she was not sure what her friend and the Marquis were doing at that time, it was definitely not a good thing.
For a moment, I thought, if it was not me who lit the lantern, but Tongxi, then I should have helped the Marquis to relieve himself. Would the same thing happen again... thinking about it, lying on the small couch Tonggui, who was tossing and turning, couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheeks and facial features, and then his body. When he was about to touch between his legs, he suddenly held back.
Damn it, what are you thinking! Tongxi still doesn't know how his wife will deal with him. He dares to think about this. He is really looking for death.
So, I forced the evil thoughts out of my mind and silently waited for the result in bed. After a while, I heard someone coming back from the main room. Without lighting a lantern, I felt in the dark and climbed into another small couch next to it.
Knowing that it was Tong Xi who had returned, Tong Gui immediately turned over and sat up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" There was a slight silence in the darkness, and then Tong Xi's voice replied softly: "Yes, yes." good……"
"Does the madam know about the affair between you and the Marquis? What did she say to deal with you? Don't get me wrong, I didn't tell the madam about this matter!" In the darkness, on another small couch, the young man was sitting in the same clothes. My little man, his mood that had just calmed down began to fluctuate again.
Through Tonggui's words, of course she understood that Tonggui really saw what happened before! She did not suspect that Tong Gui was informing her, because just now she was kneeling in that room, and she was coaxed and frightened by Aunt Xue. She was so timid that she confessed honestly.
Afterwards, she thought back and felt that Aunt Xue must have been unsure at first because she was too shallow. If she had been calmer, she might have gotten over it.
After thinking for a while, Tongxi shook his head and responded: "No, my wife didn't punish me, she just scolded me..."
"How is that possible!" In the darkness, the friend's tone was particularly shocking. Tongxi blushed furiously, and at the same time he felt happy again.
Sure enough, he had committed a serious crime, and even his friends were so shocked when they heard that he had not been punished. My wife is really kind. From now on, I must repay my wife's kindness.
While feeling grateful for Aunt Xue's magnanimity, Tongxi couldn't help but recall the scene where he knelt in front of Aunt Xue and replied.
Aunt Xue asked her to honestly explain what happened when she helped Jia Lian go to relieve herself. She could understand it. What made her still have some doubts was that after she explained everything honestly, Aunt Xue asked her to describe the process clearly one by one... This made her very shy and a little confused.
Could it be that the wife was worried that she was lying and wanted to use this method to determine whether she had lost her virginity?
Of course she didn't! It's not that she was unwilling, she was willing to devote herself to everything at that time. However, the Marquis didn't know whether he suddenly thought about the stakes clearly, or whether his interest in her was only superficial. After treating her every part, he pretended to be He left like no one else.
However, even now, recalling what Jia Lian had done to her still made her heart skip a beat, and she felt that Jia Lian's breath was all over her body.
It was really embarrassing. Even my wife acted strangely when she listened to her story. Finally, my wife was kind and let her go after confirming that she had not lost her virginity.
Although the wife has passed the test, it would not be good if the little sister in front of her spreads her secrets.
When the time comes, not only will my wife's reputation be affected by her, I'm afraid she will also change her mind if she finds out.
So he quickly lowered his voice and said to Tong Gui: "Nothing happened between the Marquis and I. It was just that the Marquis was drunk for a while, so he... teased me a few words. It was for this reason that my wife let me go. . Good sister, please don’t make this matter public, otherwise I will die. If my wife is harmed by this, she really deserves to go to hell! Good sister, as long as you help me keep the secret, I will listen to you from now on. "..." After Tongxi said that, there was no reply for a while, and he asked again anxiously.
Of course she didn't know that Tonggui's thoughts were changing very quickly at this time. Tonggui really didn't expect that Aunt Xue would not severely punish Tongxi for doing such a shameless thing.
It would be fine to say that Aunt Xue didn't know, but listening to Tongxi's words, Aunt Xue obviously knew!
Could it be that Tongxi deceived his wife with his clever words and seductions? She must be so lucky. She was drunk for a while and just teased him a few words. She clearly saw Tongxi kneeling in front of the Marquis and didn't get up for a long time.
Still hiding between the Marquis and the wall behind, do you think she really can't see him? From this point of view, is this really okay?
Then if he meets the Marquis next time, what will the Marquis do to him, and he can't... stop his thoughts from flying around, Tonggui also knows that Tongxi is very nervous at this time.
After thinking for a moment, she laughed in a low voice: "This is what you said, listen to me in everything, I didn't force you... Okay, starting from tomorrow, you have to get the foot washing water every night." Bar."
"Yes, yes, thank you sister~"
"Hehe, okay, okay, I'm teasing you..." When Tonggui's laughter came out, he had already rolled out of bed, jumped onto Tongxi's bed, pressed on Tongxi, and asked with a smile: " Let me ask you, you said that the Marquis molested you, how did he molest you? Tell me. You said, not only will I help you keep your secret, but also if the Marquis teases you again next time, I will give you How about you cover up?" Tonggui was deliberately teasing you with the accent on the three words. Of course, this made Tongxi very embarrassed. But no one is a knife and I am a fish, so Tongxi had no choice but to endure the shame and confided that to others again. Shameful yet heart-warming thing to come.
The two little sisters didn't know how long they had been arguing, and they almost missed getting up the next day.
...The little incident that happened at the Xue family's night banquet was really nothing to Jia Lian. After returning from the Xue family's banquet, he was still at home, cooking and arranging some trivial matters until the date of the fourth prince's invitation came.
On this day, Jia Lian got up very early to prepare. When the time was right, he rode into the imperial city and arrived at the fourth prince's residence.
I originally thought that the fourth prince would organize something on a whim.
During the "Du Juan Banquet", the clan and princes' children were invited to attend the party. Who would have thought that the fourth prince's residence would be very quiet?
Just when Jia Lian was wondering whether he had misremembered the date and came early or late, the guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion invited him into the mansion very diligently and respectfully.
"Hahaha, Jia Lian... No, it's time to call you Lord Jia Lian." The fourth prince still looked careless. He appeared out of nowhere, rushed to Jia Lian in a few steps, and followed Jia Lian's words. There was a punch on the shoulder.
Jia Lian could naturally see that the fourth prince was in a good mood, so after receiving the punch, Fang bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Highness is joking. In front of His Highness, a humble minister should not be treated as a 'Marquis'." The fourth prince shrugged. He curled his lips and didn't bother to correct Jia Lian's politeness. He turned around and called to the guards to fetch the horses, as if he was about to go out.
Jia Lian was puzzled: "Didn't you say that His Highness is planning to hold a banquet for Du Juan at your residence? Why..."
"Oh, forget it. It was supposed to be done, but now it can't be done."
"What's wrong?
"What else can happen? Du Juan has been taken away. What can I do with Du Juan's banquet?" After hearing this, Jia Lian stopped talking.
There are only a few people who dare to steal the fourth prince's things. As expected, the fourth prince was not a person who could sell his opinions. Seeing that Jia Lian was silent, he immediately spoke up himself.
"I'm not that overbearing imperial sister. I heard that I got a lot of precious azaleas, and she happened to be decorating her princess mansion, so she brought people here and gave me all the more than ten pots of azaleas. Let's go. You said, without Du Juan, how can I hold Du Juan's banquet? I have no choice but to tell those people I invited before so that they don't come. As for why I didn't tell you..." The fourth prince was originally very worried. He nodded with a sad look, as if he was very dissatisfied with Princess Zhaoyang for taking his flowers.
After talking about it, he quietly looked at Jia Lian with a pair of big bright eyes, walked half a circle around him, and suddenly asked very vigilantly: "Tell me, what happened to your boy and my imperial sister? How do I feel?" "Sister Huang, do you seem to be very concerned about you?" Jia Lian's expression did not change and he replied calmly: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is serious. What can a princess with a rich body have to do with a humble minister? It must be because I gave her a few lyrics in the first place. For the sake of escorting her back to the capital this time, she must have treated me differently." The fourth prince fell silent.
The reason why he asked this was that he really felt that the relationship between Jia Lian and his sister was a bit strange. It stands to reason that if a woman takes the initiative to pursue a man and is rejected, she will probably feel extremely embarrassed.
Of course, her imperial sister is no ordinary woman. But she is still a woman after all! Even if you don’t hate Jia Lian for this, you should at least stay away from him or ignore him, right?
Why does the imperial sister seem to be paying more attention to Jia Lian? When the former Princess Zhaoyang came to rob him, he could not resist in every possible way, so he could only let Princess Zhaoyang move all his flowers away, while he sent someone to inform those dandies that there was no need to go through the palace.
Xu Shi happened to know that he had invited Jia Lian, so Princess Zhaoyang told him not to notify Jia Lian, saying that Jia Lian escorted her back to Beijing safely this time, which was a great kindness and she wanted to repay her.
It just so happened that her princess mansion was being renovated soon, so she asked herself to take Jia Lian there with her to visit her new princess mansion today.
This made the fourth prince a little suspicious. He didn't speculate too much. He didn't like to think deeply about things. After all, Jia Lian's statement did make sense.
This is not the first day that the imperial sister has treated Jia Lian differently. Even if Jia Lian was originally asked to serve as the messenger, I heard that it was the imperial sister who personally recommended it to her father!
Not to mention, Jia Lian really contributed a lot to the fact that the imperial sister was able to return to Beijing safely this time. Isn't this why he personally invited Jia Lian on the second day after he returned to Beijing?
Do you really think that he is the prince of the dynasty, a dignified Prince Xiao who is approachable and has no airs? Thinking of this, the fourth prince calmed down, punched Jia Lian on the shoulder again, and said sternly: "When we were at Yanmen Pass that day, I said that as long as you deliver my imperial sister to Wala safely, I will owe you a second debt. Personal favor... Of course, the beastly bitch that is Prince Wala dares to plot against my imperial sister. Naturally, you will not be allowed to send my imperial sister to Wala, so the promise will naturally not count. But I, Wei Ling You keep your word. You protected my imperial sister along the way, so I owe you a favor. You killed Prince Nawala and vented my anger on me, so I owe you another favor." The fourth prince said. Be serious and don't give Jia Lian a chance to interrupt.
"Now that you have caught the eye of my father, you have been granted a title. I think there is no shortage of people to do things for you. I owe you so many favors, which seems to be empty talk. So, if you Don't dislike me. From now on, I will accept you as my brother. How about it?" Jia Lian heard this and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the serious look on this boy's face and his eager eyes, he knew that he was serious. If he refused, he would probably It will make him unhappy.
Considering that the fourth prince was always playful and active, and did not participate in court affairs, it seemed that his relationship was not important, so there was no need to be so rigid in dealing with him.
So Jia Lian smiled and replied: "Thanks to His Highness's favor, I forgive my rudeness. This time I will definitely try to reach His Highness. However, the courtesy between monarch and minister cannot be abolished. When outsiders are around, they should still treat each other with national courtesy. Otherwise, even if His Highness doesn't mind, if it falls into the ears of Yan Guan, he will probably scold me for being disrespectful."
"It's up to you. Anyway, I treat you as a brother in my heart. I haven't said anything yet. If anything happens to you in the future, as long as it's not rebellion or anything like that, I will definitely help you!" Seeing that Jia Lian actually agreed, the fourth prince felt sorry for Jia Lian in his heart. He was even more satisfied, so he patted his chest and said.
As for what Jia Lian said about showing off in front of outsiders, he understands, and he doesn't like trouble. Jia Lian cupped his hands and felt speechless.
This fourth prince really has no taboos. How can he be so worried about his rebellion? After leaving the mansion from the main entrance, the fourth prince's horse was soon brought out, and Jia Lian and the fourth prince rushed to the other side of the imperial city.
Not long after, they came to a secluded and majestic area. This place seemed to be a little further away from the palace than the fourth prince's Prince Xiao's Mansion, but the nearby roads and high walls were more orderly and solemn.
After walking around a long section of high wall, we arrived at the main entrance of a mansion. After the fourth prince dismounted, he looked up and saw that the top had been replaced by
The plaque with the words "Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion" showed indescribable envy in his eyes.
"Jia Lian, you see, my father is partial and gave such a good house to my imperial sister! When I was about to turn sixteen, he just asked someone to build a palace for me, and he said it was You deliberately stay closer to the palace so that you can discipline me." Jia Lian heard the fourth prince's words and looked towards the gate of the princess mansion.
Just looking at the black door, which has obviously been newly painted but still looks desolate and heavy, you can tell that the house inside is not simple.
The fourth prince was still complaining: "You don't know, this was the house of my uncle, Prince Yoshitaka. Legend has it that he almost missed it... In short, this house has been abandoned for almost twenty years, and no one has dared to ask for it. The emperor asked for it, and until the emperor returned to the capital, for some reason, the emperor gave her this house as a princess residence. "Prince Yizhong!
Jia Lian was shocked, finally knowing the value of this house. Even when it happened, he might have been just a swaddled baby.
However, nearly twenty years later, this person's influence still lingers in Beijing, and it is a topic that many people keep secret.
It was also when Jia Lian was investigating Qin Keqing's identity that he vaguely knew some of the inside story of that year.
It can be said that at the beginning, this person was mainly not bad, and there was no such thing as Emperor Ningkang later. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that the former house of such a sensitive person was given to Princess Zhaoyang.
But Princess Zhaoyang is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year. Thinking about what happened back then, it is impossible to have anything to do with Princess Zhaoyang, so there is no need to be nervous.
Probably the emperor or the queen mother saw that it was a pity that such a big house had been vacant, so in order to make up for Princess Zhaoyang, she gave it to her.
No matter how glorious the past is, it is just the past after all. With Emperor Ning Kang's current strength, there is really no need to fear a dead man.
After being led into the palace by the palace servants, the fourth prince became familiar with him. He took Jia Lian around the princess's palace and introduced various buildings and scenic spots to him.
It was as if his imperial sister's home was his home, so casual. Jia Lian shook his head inwardly, but he couldn't help but feel good about the fourth prince.
After all, he is his cheap brother-in-law. Isn't kissing his sister the same as kissing him?
"Your Highness Prince Xiao, Lord Jia, and the princess are at the martial arts arena. Please come over." A eunuch hurried over to report.
After hearing this, the fourth prince said to Jia Lian: "Let's go. It's quite far from the martial arts arena. Let's ride there." I have to say that it is indeed the thousand-year-old house of the former Prince Yi Zhong, even if it has been abandoned for more than ten years. , the style is still extraordinary.
Don't talk about anything else, just the size. According to the footsteps that Jia Lian has stepped on, it is much larger than the original Rongguo Mansion. It is probably much larger than the largest palace that Jia Lian has ever been to, the Beijing Prince's Mansion.
This is not in the major state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the most precious imperial city in the world! Occupying such a large house here can be said to be a symbol of identity and status.
Look here, there are many large and small gardens, a martial arts arena, a colosseum, a horse farm, and all kinds of large facilities.
Not to mention the fourth prince, even Jia Lian couldn't help but feel a bit envious as he went deeper. Sure enough, there is no comparison between people.
Everyone used to say that Princess Zhaoyang was the most favored princess of the Tian family and the most dazzling pearl in the world, but Jia Lian didn't feel much about it.
At this time, as soon as he made up his mind to leave the palace and find another residence, he directly got a top-notch prince's mansion!
Jia Lian doesn't know if there is any palace in the entire Wei Dynasty that is bigger and more majestic than Princess Zhaoyang's palace. Even if there is, I'm afraid it can't surpass the top three, right?
This... I can only say that our daughter-in-law is really amazing.
