039

Because Mrs. Zhong deliberately confessed to make Ji Yao and Zhong Ying befriend, she stubbornly planned to give it a try, and several times she had a hot face on her cold ass, Zhong Ying obviously hadn't forgotten the past, and saw Ji Yao's gritted teeth and hatred.

After a few times, Ji Yao also cooled down, she is also the daughter of the Ji family and the granddaughter of the Song family, there is no need to be willing to take herself seriously, and besides, she will not be able to see through Mrs. Zhong's intentions for a while, so it is better to take a small half step back and wait for the changes.

Let's just say that today is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Zhong sent a message to ask the four of them to draw a few paintings that fit the occasion, so that they can be taken out as a gift in return.

The weather is also cold, the ink is dry and smudged, and even if you work very hard, you may not be able to paint a five-point painting, Ji Yao's hands warm her fingers for half a day before she is about to become a picture of the three friends of the cold year, and a drop of thick ink splashed next to Leng Buding just drops in the blank space of the painting, and the painting is going to be scrapped in a conspicuous position, and she doesn't have to look up to know whose handwriting it is.

"I won't do it", Zhong Ying threw down the pen and sat on the warm couch to lose her temper.

Ji Yao endured her breath to find out the details, changed the splash ink into a hovering goshawk foraging, and looked at it from a distance, and the artistic conception of the painting could be regarded as a difference if it did not change.

There were four people in the house, the second lady was lazy to feed the birds in the distance, Liang Hengli was the most knowledgeable and didn't want to make things bigger, and Zhong Ying regarded her temperament as a meal, she didn't bother to care, she secretly pulled Ji Yao's sleeves, and the two sat on the chair to drink tea and eat plum cakes.

When Xiao Shu entered the house with a chess box, there were obviously four girls in the room, but there was only a bald, blind, wingless, lame thrush chirping, he looked at the picture of the three friends of the year and the cold on the table, and noticed that there was an extra goshawk out of thin air, and the pen power and artistic conception did not look like Zhong Ying's work.

"Good, great skills. He still praised, and after speaking, he looked at Zhong Ying in front of the window with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her hateful glare, obviously four girls from the same root of relatives, but they seemed to be enemies of life and death, so he was more sure who made the painting.

So what, his eyes were only fixed on Zhong Ying, he swept over the table and walked straight to the opposite side of Zhong Ying, put on the chessboard, his slender fingers were already holding the sunspots, and said with a smile: "Let Ah Ying go for a few days, today I will go first." ”

A pair of men and women in front of the window, Zhong Yingmei and proud, radiant, raised their chin lightly and did not admit defeat. Xiao Shu is warm and subtle, restrained and deep, and although his eyes lock Zhong Ying, he is extremely clear.

Ji Yao knows a little about the affection between men and women, and can see that Xiao Shu doesn't admire Zhong Ying much, but he is bound to win. What the Xiao family wants is the authority in the hands of General Zhong, and it doesn't matter how ugly and brutal Zhong Ying is. In other words, if the Zhong family is defeated like a lost dog, no matter how beautiful Zhong Ying is, he will not be able to exchange Xiao Shu for a sincere lookback.

The second lady had already seen Xiao Shu's affection for Zhong Ying, and Ah Niang was noisy in her ears all day long, saying how good a husband Ah Ying would be in the future, and how the Xiao family was rich and dazzling, which made people so bored to hear. She just can't be angry, the cousin of the Liang family is a hundred times stronger than the son of the Xiao family, and A-Niang is eye-catching.

picked up the birdcage by hand, the second lady pulled Ji Yao back to the house, Liang Hengli also wanted to slip away, but she didn't have time.

"Sister Liang, come over and help me keep an eye on the chess game, I can't lose anymore. Zhong Ying didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the chessboard.

Liang Hengli was so angry that she stomped her feet lightly, secretly scolded the two little hooves who had no conscience, and obviously made an appointment to slip away together, but when the matter came, she was left to suffer here. Staying in the house and idle, she found something to do to pass the time, added fragrant cakes to the smoker, and went outside to make tea with snow and water.

If there is nothing, a touch of pale clothes swayed back and forth in front of Zhong Ying and Xiao Shu's eyes.

Zhong Ying has no distractions, her cheeks are focused on the chessboard, the shallow Ai high-waisted palace skirt makes her skin white and snowy, and the blood flow as thin as hair can be seen under the broken skin, there is the brilliance of summer flowers when moving, and the quiet time is also the seclusion of autumn grass, the so-called true beauty is nothing more than this, there are few people in the world.

Xiao Shu also stared at the chess game, secretly observing the changes in Zhong Ying's expression, a faint fragrance that flickered far and near made him distract the other person in the room, Liang Hengli said thank you when he served tea.

Liang Hengli lowered her eyes in response, her aunt knew that she had a heart before she was allowed to stay by Zhong Ying's side, and she knew better than anyone else how to grasp the scale when she got along with Xiao Shu. Although they are all people from the family and act in a very measured manner, Liang Hengli is still cautious and does not want her aunt to find faults, she also has her own plans.

Halfway through the chess game, Xiao Shu fell, and Zhong Ying hurriedly stopped and said that he wanted to regret the chess. She was afraid that Xiao Shu would refuse, so she took his hand and picked up the last step the two of them took just now. Bai Zi and Heizi each threw back the chess box, Zhong Yingcai let go of Xiao Shu, and put his hands on his cheeks and fell into contemplation again.

Xiao Shu stared at the hand that was raised and fell again, smiled, and turned her head to look in the direction where Liang Hengli was sitting, her eyes were cold and alienated, don't look at him.

As if being seen through, Xiao Shu retracted his gaze in a sneer.

Zhenri is so messy, it is rumored in the house that the son of the Xiao family is set to be Zhong Ying's husband, and when he arrives in Chang'an, he will choose a day to get engaged for six ceremonies.

Liang Hengli clapped his hands and said: "They hurry up, I can't stay with me anymore! Stay in that room, you can't lie down, you can't laugh, you can't make a noise when you walk, and you have to install wooden stakes to talk less, and you're dead awkward." ”

"Today, except for the New Year, it is unlucky to say less about the dead and alive. Ji Yao reminded.

"You said it too. "Liang Hengli is a poor learner.

The second lady shook her head and shook her head on the side, making Liang Hengli sigh that time has changed, when there were only three of them before, she still thought that the two ladies were not compatible, compared with Zhong Ying, the second lady is simply as kind as a little hare in the snow, and it doesn't hurt to tear back into the wild occasionally, it can be seen that people are spoiled.

Giggling and laughing, the three of them went to the main hall together, the sound of laughter came from afar, Zhong Ying was unhappy when she heard it, everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, and no one cared about her little temper at this time.

Xiao Shu was too, he saw Zhong Ying's displeasure across half of the flower hall, and did not walk over to coax her to be happy as usual, but stood in front of the open window and watched the three pretty girls slowly approaching, beautiful and elegant.

Ji Yao and the three of them also kept their distance from Xiao Shu, and each found a table to sit down until they met and nodded.

The lanterns in the hall were lit, Mrs. Zhong took Mrs. Liang and Xiao Liang to sit on the top, Xiao Shu was the first on the left hand of the guest house, Zhong Ying was next to him, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family on the right side took the lead, Liang Hengli, Ji Yao and the second lady sat down in turn, and the second daughter-in-law of the Zhong family said that she was sick for some days, and everyone didn't care if she wasn't here today.

On the first tour of the wine banquet, Tu Su was drunk first, Zhong Ying was the youngest, everyone respected her first, and said some auspicious words that were quiet and good, and the congratulatory words that Ji Yao and the three of them listened to were similar.

It was the turn to respect Zhong's daughter-in-law, Zhong Ying held a wine glass and congratulated: "Sister-in-law, I must be a white and chubby little nephew in the coming year, A-Niang has been looking forward to it for a long time, you don't want to disappoint everyone." ”

Zhong's daughter-in-law lowered her head shyly, she didn't want children, but as soon as she married into her husband's family, an old man died in the family, and her in-laws disciplined her husband strictly.

Mrs. Zhong's tone was flat: "Yes, I only look forward to this one thing in the coming year." It's just that with my grandchildren, I'm afraid I'm too old to look at it, and I don't dare to go out to meet people. I think about it, but I am also afraid of it. She smiled and smiled.

Mrs. Liang quipped: "Sister, you compare us to the dead bark outside, and you have to say that we are old, so what have we become? ”

Everyone laughed, it was rare to have such a harmonious time, everyone simply put down their hearts and opened up to have fun, the second lady accidentally drank a little too much, and everyone who grabbed her said that she was dizzy and nauseous.

Ji Yao came forward and said that she took the second lady back to the house, Xiao Liang's family was rarely gentle, and in the new year, she could also think of something, Ah Yao really didn't hinder her, she had no reason to be angry with a little orphan girl.

"Go, stay with your sister in my room for me, and I'll sit down for a while and then go back." Xiao Liang tidied up the fox Qiu Fengji mouth for Ji Yao and sent them out of the main hall.

Liang Hengli was drunk and didn't react slowly, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she was the only one left, and the Ji family didn't have a good thing, so she scolded lightly.

"I'm going back too. Liang Hengli is also going back, she plans to talk to Ji Yao Shou Sui after returning to the house.

Mrs. Liang was about to send her daughter out, but was stopped by Liang Hengli, she stroked her forehead and took the maids out of the yard, but she happened to meet Xiao Shu head-on.

There was a group of female relatives drinking and having fun, Xiao Shu was inconvenient to stay all the time, under the pretext of changing clothes to come out to breathe, it was also a coincidence that he met Liang Hengli after two or three turns in the courtyard, and he wanted to send Liang Hengli back to the house.

"No", Liang Hengli waved her hand, she was half drunk, as if she was drunk but not drunk, as if she was awake, seeing Xiao Shu's cross arm in front of her, she thought he was going to support herself, so she pushed it out and grabbed Xiao Shu's arm, and murmured: "You go back and accompany Ah Ying, she also drank too much." ”

Xiao Shu's throat was rolling, and his arm was held by Liang Hengli in the air, and it was not to be closed, nor was it to be closed.

The woman was half-drunk and had something touching, Liang Hengli's face was flushed, her eyebrows were lightly raised, her drunken eyes were slanting at people, and her face was mocking but like a giggle. Unlike her usual generous and decent, charming and pretty, she staggered away and pushed Xiao Shu away, and the fragrance of wine fat powder filled his nose until she walked away.

Xiao Shu glanced at the direction where Liang Hengli had gone, then looked at the flower hall of the banquet guests, clenched his fists and coughed lightly and raised his feet to take care of Zhong Ying. A finch flew over the branch above his head, swept down the floating snow and fell on his eyebrows, the dry snow particles hit him blinking, and for no reason he was upset, thinking that he was not doing his filial piety by his grandfather's side, and ran to the Zhong family's territory to put down his body and show his affection to a little girl, is this the only thing that the husband wants.

*****

After the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, it was time to leave for Chang'an, Ji Yao was busy sorting out her luggage, she didn't know if she didn't look at it, and she was scared after a long time. When she first arrived in Nanyang, she was alone, and she had only lived for a few days, and the clothes and jewelry in the room could not fit in two large boxes.

Pick a good one to take away, a little flawed to look at the unpleasant she gave it away, even so, still put out a large box waiting to be loaded.

Que'er was very busy with her before and after, because Ji Yao recommended to Mrs. Zhong to take her to Chang'an City, she worshipped Ji Yao as a god, her legs ran diligently, her mouth was smooth, and she inquired about the movements up and down the house.

"I heard that the second young lady is very sick and is about to die, so she won't follow us to Chang'an. After going out for a while, Que'er whispered in Ji Yao's ear.

"Oh", Ji Yao responded, to be honest, the second young lady of the Zhong family was very sick, looking very healthy, she said that she would lie down alone, and extrapolated that she was afraid that she would be sick and angry with others, and she had not seen guests all the time, and her condition did not improve after being kept in the house for more than a month, but became worse?

She faintly glimpsed a clue, but she still couldn't see through it.

"Que'er, what do you want to do when you stay in Chang'an?" Ji Yao put aside her distracting thoughts and turned her head to laugh with Que'er. She was able to bring Que'er to Chang'an, but she didn't plan to bring people back to Ji's house.

Que'er is also reluctant to leave the Zhong family, who is stupid to let the big tree of the Zhong family not climb, and go to live under the shallow eaves of the Ji family.

After squirming for a while, Que'er half spit out and half revealed: "Chang'an Mansion is big, there is a shortage of manpower in each room, I can't get into her eyes on Madame's side, and most of the girls don't look down on me for serving you. ”

Behind the young lady is the Zhong family Lang, the Zhong family is in his youth, and his appearance and future are immeasurable, no wonder Que'er is tempted.

People go to high places, there are not a few people in the world who have this kind of thought, the Zhong family is not only in demand for Zhong Ying, but also for the two married Lang Jun, there will also be people vying to send concubines.

The thought turned, and the doubts in Ji Yao's heart were about to break out of her shell, and she half-covered her chest and pressed the beating ventricles of her heart, could it be ......

The young lady of the Zhong family is even more rushed to be the one who wants to be it! The premise is that someone has to vacate the seat.

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhong family have a docile temper and beautiful appearance, just as far as the general of the Zhong family Taoguang raised an obscure minister a few years ago, and the two daughters-in-law were not from a high background, one was the daughter of a five-grade civil official family, and the other was the daughter of a sixth-grade military general. In the past, the Zhong family was considered to be high, but now that the Zhong family is in full swing, will Mrs. Zhong be willing to let her future grandchildren not be prosperous?

There was a tide in her heart, and she was disgusted. As long as the position of the eldest daughter-in-law is a word from the Zhong family, countless Chinese girls are at their disposal, but the second daughter-in-law can be much more casual and used to envelop several necessary families, such as the Song family and the hidden forces behind the Song family.

Ji Yao's grandfather's noble name is not in vain, protégés are all over the world, from the Son of Heaven, generals to small officials from all over the world, with the Song family's signboard, you can fake the tiger.

There is only Song Shiyi Lang left in the Song family, and the two little nieces in the teaching workshop don't know if they are still alive, even if they are still alive, there is always a stain, and the choice of son-in-law in the future will be greatly discounted. Only Ji Yao's maternal ancestor is Taifu, and his father is also Taifu, born in the Zhenguo Mansion, the prestige of the Ji family is resounding for a hundred years, and it is more than enough to be the second son of the Zhong family.

They had a good idea, Ji Yao sneered, this night I thought about everything and slept very steadily, and I was not surprised that I had just left Nanyang City at dawn, and the people of the Zhong family chased after me to report the funeral: The second young lady died this morning.

I'm afraid people were dead last night.

On the grounds that the itinerary of the auspicious day of the zodiac had not been changed, Mrs. Zhong left two unimportant stewards to take care of the funeral, and the rest of them paused for a candle and set off on the road.

"The second sister-in-law doesn't pick a day when she dies, it's really unlucky!" Zhong Ying complained and wanted to ride a horse again.

"No!" Mrs. Zhong flatly refused.

"I asked Xiao Jialangjun to accompany him, and he was idle with the car on the side. Zhong Ying should have thought of Xiao Shu.

"What do you mean by following the car? That's the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, and the prince is usually only half-saluted, and he is called around like a house slave by you. Mrs. Zhong said what she had said over and over again, and Zhong Ying snorted in her left ear and out of her right ear.

Mrs. Zhong stroked her forehead and felt a headache, how could she give birth to such an ignorant little enemy, and she had to have a degree of arrogance, seeing that Zhong Ying was about to become a wild horse, that would not work. She raised an arrogant daughter, but she was not a scourge.

"Ah Ying, your father listens to the scenery and says nothing, but I don't know how many people behind him want to stumble on him. He wants to hold his tail to restrain his edge and win people's hearts everywhere, and Xiao Shi is willing to help him with all his might, we want to be interesting and give people face. If you treat Xiao Shu like this and go outside, imagine how the Xiao family should deal with it, these clans are the most face-conscious, they can't swallow their breath and turn against each other, what should you do with your father?" Mrs. Zhong spoke bitterly and persuaded Zhong Ying around the bend.

Hearing that it was related to her father, Zhong Ying closed her mouth and stopped talking, she was not really stupid and didn't know about mundane affairs, she thought about it and said: "Then I will stay away from him in the future, I don't call him, and he won't come to make fun, just settle down and be quiet." ”

Mrs. Zhong half-opened her mouth, this child was so stupid, seeing that the person who wanted to meet her didn't have any affection, she really didn't see Xiao Shu's intentions after nearly a month. Speaking of intentions, Mrs. Zhong thought of observing on weekdays, and Xiao Shu was also mediocre about Zhong Ying, and she didn't pay too much attention to it.

It was good to grind him, and in the end, Mrs. Zhong's doting heart for her daughter was better than reason, and she turned a blind eye to see Zhong Ying changing her way to toss Xiao Shu.

flirting and scolding, Mrs. Zhong feels that her daughter can always slowly open up, and the young man she has seen is better than his family background and appearance, and his character and ability, and he has not been able to beat Xiao Shu for the time being. Ah Ying is also over-eyed, and one day she will be able to put Xiao Shu in her eyes.

*******

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside the car, the second lady was so angry that she lifted the curtain, shook it down again, picked up the soft cushion on the car and blocked her ears, and scolded angrily: "She loves to be in the limelight, and she rides a horse on the road all day long." Listen to what those people praise her, the first beauty, sister, you should go out and make a show, so that those people who specialize in sycophants can see what the first beauty looks like, it is definitely not a face of Ah Ying's crooked melon and cracked dates. ”

"You also know that the first beauty is a sycophant, but I don't know it. Ji Yao didn't take it seriously, she was also rumored to be the first beauty and talented woman, but the funny thing was that she was less than thirteen years old at the time, and it was the forces of the Song family and the abolished prince who pushed her up, Zhong Ying too, there is nothing to envy.

From Nanyang to Chang'an City, the ten-day journey has not arrived for more than 20 days, there are too many flattering people on the way, and Mrs. Zhong is not refused, and she has to rest and stay for thirty or fifty miles. Zhong Ying also took out the limelight, her neck was so high that she was so angry that the second lady couldn't eat or sleep, and she was looking around to vent her anger.

Ji Yao looked at the weather outside the car, if she could rush to Chang'an City before the city gate was locked, it seemed that Mrs. Zhong was going to rest early, and she would enter the city at noon tomorrow, and she would put on a show of Mrs. Dasikong.

Could it be that if the husband is in power, the woman should put on a scene like Mrs. Zhong who is flattered and benefited, but she does not do the right thing?

When Ji Yao got out of the car with her skirt, she saw that Erlang of the Zhong family, who had come to pick her up a few days ago, was helping Mrs. Zhong to walk a few steps in front of her, she lowered her eyes and stopped, letting them take the first step.

Chang'an is windy, early spring and February are cold and steep, Ji Yao wrapped her cloak and sneezed into the wind, secretly thinking that she shouldn't have packed the fox fur early, Chang'an City greeted her not only with unpredictable weather, but also with an uncertain future.

Liang Hengli was waiting for Ji Yao with a smile in front, there was no way to wait, Mrs. Zhong's mother and son were surrounded by the officials who greeted her, and they only moved forward three or five steps with a candle incense, and Liang Hengli didn't want to come to the front, so she simply pulled Ji Yao to stand in the distance and wait.

*****

A rapid sound of horses' hooves galloped out from the direction of the capital, rolling up countless smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see who was coming in the loess.

"Maybe it's my brother. Liang Hengli was looking forward to it.

Ji Yao stretched her neck and was also looking, could it be the brother of the Song family?

The horse team passed by them without stopping and continued to move forward, Liang Hengli sighed softly, and Ji Yao's heart slowly sank.

The leading horse traveled two miles and turned back, the armor of the tall horse was shining, the people on the horse shouted Ayao happily, and the Qingyin land-throwing man also jumped down and landed lightly in front of Ji Yao, the person who came was tall and thin, his head and face were covered with dust, and his shoulders were bathed in the wind, but his eyes were as bright and shining as jewels.

Ji Yao half-covered her mouth, looking at the gray-faced Han Qi, who suddenly appeared, she originally planned to ignore him when she met in the future, but she couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Song didn't say that you will return to the capital in these two days. Han Qi took off the armor on his head and said angrily, since the beginning of the year, he chased and suppressed the rebels for more than a month, and when he came back, he just cared about getting a good night's sleep, and was sent out again by Song Shiyi Lang and General Zhong.

Thinking that A-Yao should also go to Chang'an City, everyone didn't mention it, Han Qi couldn't figure out the time, he didn't expect to meet her on the road, thanks to his good eyesight, A-Yao was also outstanding, and when she saw her in the crowd, she was no one else.

Ji Yao pretended not to hear, and only asked Han Qi in a low voice: "Is Brother Song really my brother in the mouth of the big boss? Is he really in Chang'an City?"

How can I make up a lie in front of others, Ji Yao can't let others notice that she and Song Shiyi Lang and Han Qi secretly met a long time ago, Liang Hengli followed aside, and Mrs. Zhong was also staring at her from a distance, she couldn't go on a business trip.

Han Qi was stunned, Brother Shi changed his surname back to Song, why did he still act, did A-Yao hear him speak?

"Big boss, it's time for us to go, the military period can't be delayed. "There was a rush in the horse team.

Han Qi glared irritably and shouted I know, straight lady thief, he is leading urgent military affairs, and he can't come back for ten days and half a month after going out, I really want to say fuck it, take off this military skin, and lead my brothers back to Huaibei to continue to do their old job, and they won't starve to death if they want to.

Ji Yao hurriedly took advantage of the situation to go downhill to relieve herself, and saluted sideways, "Since this is the case, I don't dare to delay the business of the big boss." ”

Han Qi hated it, stared at Ji Yao twice, shook his head and turned to leave, jumped on the back of the horse neatly, tightened the reins and looked back at Ji Yao, his eyes were like a sharp sword trying to see through her heart.

Although Ji Yao didn't turn around, she couldn't bear it in her heart, she thought that Han Qi had saved Song Shiyilang and had also saved her, and she would not go around the bend when she spoke and did things, in contrast, she was too cold-blooded and only cared about herself.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves sounding again, raising the dust and blinding her eyes, Ji Yao turned her head and shouted, "Take care of the big boss all the way." I don't know if the people on the horse heard it, but she couldn't see clearly in front of her eyes, but she thought she had done her best.

Seeing Han Qi and the others leave, Liang Hengli bit her ear at Ji Yao, and her voice was full of teasing: "What a caring person, why didn't I see Han Xiaolang's mind before and miss a good show." ”

Ji Yao responded to all changes with no change, smiled, and looked in the direction where Han Qi was gone, it was empty, and she followed everyone into the post house.

In the evening, someone asked her about Han Qi, one was Xiao Shu asked in public, and Ji Yao skipped the head and tail and answered simply.

Xiao Shu said with a smile: "I made an appointment to find a chance for the two to compete, last time he was in a hurry and didn't take care of it, but this time it was a pity to pass by." ”

"It's a pity for the peddlers to pawn?" Zhong Ying scoffed.

Xiao Shu's face did not change, and argued: "Han Xiaolang has his own merits, and he can't be treated as an ordinary philistine. ”

Xiao Shu still folded Zhong Ying's face in front of people for the first time, and because of the person she didn't like the most, she was so angry that her little face turned white, and she squeezed out words from between her teeth: "If you go over the wall and enter the house, steal my beads and kill me, is that what is the difference? ”

"Ah Ying Mo is dry", Xiao Shu calmly intends to end this battle of words, and it doesn't make sense to talk to an unreasonable person at all, forget it, and he is also persuading himself.

Zhong Yingjin didn't listen to persuasion, and rushed to Ji Yao in two steps and asked: "You can make it clear, how many bad things did you do to hook up with that Han thief in private? ”

The fire of innocence burned on Ji Yao's head, but in the final analysis, she was not innocent, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, among the people present, it was Zhong Ying who Ji Yao was not afraid of.

"First, I didn't know Han Da before, and I can't talk about hooking up, Ah Ying, please be cautious. Second, I don't know if Han Da is good or bad, but I know that he saved my life, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs. Third, my brother wrote to me that if the big boss can be trusted, I can also trust it. Ji Yao said slowly, and as the words fell, she put the toothbrush in her hand on the lacquer and made a slight sound.

Zhong Ying's face was blue and white for a while, she couldn't deny that Han Qi had also saved her life, but she couldn't forget the blood in the Zhongfu in Luoyang, and the nine big characters on the wall, 'Huaibei Han Qi, the murderer and pearl thief' were engraved in her heart like a ghost talisman, and she couldn't sleep peacefully every night.

A room pretending to be deaf and dumb, the second lady covered her mouth and snickered, she almost clapped her hands and applauded, Sister A is simply Ah Ying's nemesis, it should be that no one in her eyes is as small as a pinhole.

Eat silently, sleep silently, look at the rude appearance of a group of sons and daughters of the family.

"Okay!" Mrs. Zhong spoke to stop her, so that the person next to her persuaded Zhong Ying back, Ji Yao picked up the soup bowl and took a sip, tonight is not her rash and strong, someone has repeatedly tried to test her bottom line, and she will show people.

The Ji family has declined, Song Shiyi Lang is her bottom line, the Song family is an invisible signboard protecting her, except for one or two people who have real skills, the rest of the people leave the family shelter and give up the false name of the family, with how many people can shine as they are now, Ji Yao does not feel that he is bluffing.

Ji Yao stood on a high place, and also fell to the bottom, she had no stage fright if she had the opportunity to stand on the ground. Even if she offends Zhong Ying by slapping her swollen face and becoming fat, what is there. According to Zhong Ying's conceited and arrogant temperament, it is useless for Ji Yao to kneel in front of her and prostrate herself.

Unhappy at night, Zhong Ying returned to the house with a horsewhip to vent his anger, the movement was very great, the whole post house could not sleep from time to time, the next morning up, more than half of the people with dark blue eyes, looked at each other and smiled and set off on the road.

Approaching Chang'an City, even Ji Yao couldn't hold back her excitement, people sat in the carriage, her heart flew out early, and she came to Chang'an's majestic city wall towers, the carriage crossed the stone bridge over the moat, and entered the narrow and dark city gate, the bright spots became bigger and bigger, until suddenly it opened up, and a new city was displayed in front of her.

Walk through Suzaku Street, pass by Hushi Liquor Factory, turn a few intersections, and then walk out for half an hour, and the carriage stops in front of Sikong Mansion.

Mrs. Zhong asked the steward first when she entered the mansion, General Zhong was not in the mansion, her beautiful eyes became longer, and her smile was cold.

"Auntie, Daddy is discussing matters in the palace at this time, and the overall situation of the DPRK and China is inseparable from him. Zhong Jiaerlang persuaded.

The eldest man of his family also went out on business, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, Zhu, couldn't care about her own tiredness, so she took the housekeeper to lead everyone back to the house to rest, and then went to Zhang Luo hot water, and went to the kitchen to check the diet.

The Ji family and the Liang family also have old mansions in Chang'an City, and they came to the Zhong family just to rest temporarily, waiting for each family's house to be cleaned out before moving over.

Xiao Liang's family was already impatient to count the industries, field shops and mansions of the Zhenguo Mansion in Chang'an, she was burned down and most of her wealth was empty, eager to grab something, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "The field documents are all stored in the house, and they were burned down by a fire, and we have no basis for fear of being deceived by Diao Nu." As she spoke, she was holding the hair of her sideburns with her hand and looked anxious.

The second lady was bored and didn't notice her mother's abnormality, but Ji Yao saw that Xiao Liang's family was anxiously pulling her hair or grabbing it into the air several times, and she comforted her slowly: "The government has a bottom to it, and ordinary people don't dare to mess around." At the moment, I am not afraid of the gang of slaves below, but I am afraid that there are wealthy families who take the opportunity to occupy the industry with their power, but I dare to bully my aunt. ”

Ji Yao pointed to the end, Xiao Liang's family could also understand that her husband was not successful, but her brothers and sisters were not weak, and if someone wanted to take advantage of her, they had to weigh whether the Jingyi Marquis Mansion and the Zhong Mansion agreed first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liang complained to Ji Yao again: "The eldest lady understands things, so she shouldn't be right with Ah Ying everywhere, what good can you get by annoying her? ”

"Ah Niang, which is Sister Ah and Ah Ying doing it right, it is purely Ah Ying's provocation to find trouble, and I really can't swallow this breath if I don't go back. The second lady was angry and couldn't explain a few words.

"What's the use of fighting for a breath, can you eat or can you wear clothes? If you really want to compete with Ah Ying, you should go up and find a husband like Xiao Jialangjun to come back, and Ah Niang will have a light on her face. Xiao Liang is a cliché, and his long nails are anxiously buttoning the jade button on his skirt.

Golden beetle son-in-law, golden beetle son-in-law, there is nothing else to say except this, the second lady went out of the house in a rage to breathe, and only came back before dinner, took the rice bowl a few times to his mouth, and found an excuse to go back to the house to sleep first.

Ji Yao leaned on the door and waited, all day, General Zhong didn't return to the house, and he didn't see Song Shiyi Lang show up, Liang Hengli also said that he couldn't wait for his father and brother, it was unusual, and he could trap all these people in the palace.

From the evening to the palm of the lamp, until the curfew, the fifth watch knocked, still no one was seen, she really couldn't hold the kimono and lay down, at dawn there was no one in sight, thinking wildly, guessing that something big would happen in the capital to make Lord Sikong not return home all night?

******

Ji Yao is not the only one who treats each other all night in this house, the sound of Chang'an knocking, Mrs. Zhong is also waiting in the main house, the house is burning a small butter lamp, the light is dim, she heard the second son come in again and again to report the news, until she heard that her husband couldn't get away and couldn't come back.

Mrs. Zhong angrily threw out a tea bowl and asked the second son beside her: "Staying in the palace at night, this is a good father in your eyes, I was scared at home, but he was so comfortable to leave his wife behind and forget about it." ”

While saying that Mrs. Zhong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, who was she competitive and competitive, not for this family and a few children. It is said that her husband spoils her to the bone and regards other women as dung and white bones, and Mrs. Zhong also thinks so more than 20 years ago, but now she is not very sure.

"Auntie, don't be angry, Daddy really can't leave, I heard the confidant who passed the message that the saint was greedy to play in the water this morning, and the shape was not good, how could Daddy leave the palace. The Song family, the Wei family, and the uncle, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and there are also people in the army who are not convinced by Daddy, so we must be careful. Zhong Yi of the Zhong family persuaded that he looked more like Mrs. Zhong, his appearance was handsome and feminine, and his skills were slightly inferior to his brother.

"The Wei family? His old husband died, and the whole family guarded filial piety, how could he stir up trouble in the capital. Mrs. Zhong asked as she wiped away her tears.

"The Wei family is just keeping filial piety, and it will rise again, and my uncle teaches martial arts to the saint, don't forget, his family and the Wei family have a marriage contract. Zhong Yi said that the head of the affairs of the DPRK and China was the truth.

Mrs. Zhong's expression slowed down, she was fortunate to understand the overall situation, and she regained her calm after a short period of petty sex, she knew that husband and wife were one, and they shared honor and disgrace.

Zhong Yi saw that the persuasion worked, and cheekily leaned over to his mother's side to beat him: "Auntie, you don't feel sorry for me when you see your son, and you don't ask me if I am injured in the war outside, just thinking about my father and brother, so that my son is so wronged." ”

Mrs. Zhong chuckled lightly and stretched out her finger to poke the forehead of her second son: "You, you are more fancy than your eldest brother, and you love to play tricks and don't tell the truth to A-Niang." How can you compare your eldest brother to be really loyal and filial, in comparison, of course I have to love him more. ”

Zhong Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "How can it, my son knows everything about A-Niang, and if there is really a place to hide it from you, I am afraid that A-Niang will listen to her dirty ears, so let's not listen." ”

Mrs. Zhong snorted: "You are worried about A-Niang, but A-Niang has picked a good new daughter-in-law for you, and her teeth and mouth are sharp to cure your problems, it depends on whether you can hold it." ”

Zhong Yi lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Hui Niang just went, what to do with these, and I am not in a hurry." ”

"Someday, you'll be in a hurry to beg me to let her in. Mrs. Zhong's words were meaningful.
