The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, covering the flowers and plants with a golden veil.

After reciting the scriptures, the Qiu clan walked out of the house and said to Li's mother, "Send someone to ask if the prince and the prince have come over for dinner?" If Yunqing and Qihao come over for dinner, Han Jianming will definitely come over as well.

After a while, the maid came back: "Old lady, the prince has something to deal with, and he won't come over." "Yunqing came to the Han Mansion, except for the first day when he took the two Qi Hao brothers to accompany the Qiu family to have a meal, as long as they were in the Han Mansion, they all ate in the front yard.

Qiu Shi nodded and said, "Let's set the meal!" The son-in-law is not the same as the daughter, and this son-in-law has a noble status, so she doesn't dare to pick on it if she doesn't come.

Xiang is pregnant, and it is inconvenient for her to come over on such a hot day now, so the Qiu family eats alone during this time.

After eating half a bowl of rice and two crystal dumplings, Qiu put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

Seeing this, Li's mother persuaded her: "Old lady, you should eat more! If you only eat this little thing, you will be hungry at night." "Qiu also pays great attention to health, and he will not eat again after dinner.

Qiu shook his head and said, "No appetite." "On weekdays, Han Jianming is accompanied by Xiang's, and Qiu's can eat most of the bowl of rice, plus a bowl of japonica rice porridge. But in the past few days, Han Jianming has been very busy and has no time to come, and the Qiu family has not a good appetite for food alone.

"Old lady, eat more! Otherwise, let the old man know that you only eat so much, and you should be worried." "Han Jianming is very filial and cares about Qiu's body very much, and he is so worried about Qiu's headache and brain fever on weekdays.

Under the repeated persuasion of Li's mother, Qiu's used half a bowl of japonica rice porridge.

While walking in the courtyard, Qiu Shi said, "What have the prince and the eldest master been busy with recently?" Yunqing has no leisure every day, and Han Jianming is also busy.

Mother Li shook her head and said, "This old slave is not clear, but many officials have come to the house recently." "Actually, there are not many, just more than a dozen people, half of whom are military generals.

Looking at the clear sky, Qiu sighed and said, "I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital?" She has been in the capital for most of her life, and her relatives and friends are also there. If you can go back, you can chat with people of the same age if you are bored on weekdays. It's not like here, there's not even a person to talk to, it's boring.

Li's mother actually wants to go back to the capital: "It should be soon!" Although Jiangnan is good, the capital is a place she is familiar with.

"I hope to return to the capital in my lifetime. "The ancestral grave of the Han family is still in the capital, and she will be buried in the ancestral grave of the Han family after she dies.

Mother Li hurriedly said: "Definitely." Don't be cranky, old lady, let's go to the garden for a walk. "Mother Li will also care about things outside, so she knows that the imperial court is already at the end of the crossbow. In a few years, the prince will lead his troops to take the capital.

Qiu nodded.

Han Jianming followed Yunqing until dawn the next day. Pry open the mouth of the person who was holding in the teahouse next to Liuxiangyuan, pluck the radish with the pit, and arrest many people.

When Qiyou got up, he heard that all the important people on the other side had fled, which was a pity.

"These people are very cautious, and it's hard to catch them all. "It's not easy to survive Yang Duo's search and arrest tomorrow, and it's already very good to catch eight people without any loss this time.

Qi Hao patted Brother You'er on the shoulder and said, "Ayou, all this is your credit." ”

"Without me, the man wouldn't have escaped. "If you want to say that the credit is also Yu Zhi's, it is not his.

After a pause, Qiyou changed the topic: "It's a pity that Dad won't let us go out, otherwise I'll take you to eat smoked fish, shredded chicken noodles and five-spice beans." ”

Qi Hao laughed and said, "It's really as good as you say?" He didn't have the same taste as Qi You, so he didn't like half of the delicious snacks Qi You said.

"You'll know if you try it. After speaking, Qiyou said with a nostalgic face: "It's a pity that I can't eat Yu Ji's stinky tofu anymore." ”

Hua Ge'er interjected a sentence next to him: "Shizi, that stinky tofu stinks for ten miles, and I want to vomit when I smell it." ”

"It smells bad, it tastes good!"

Qi Hao shuddered, how could something that stinked for ten miles be delicious. Even if it was as fragrant as Qiyou said, he didn't dare to touch it: "Smoked fish silver noodles and spiced eggs are really as good as you say, you can send someone to buy them back and eat them." ”

Qiyou said: "This thing is delicious if it is freshly made, so it is better to invite the cook to come back and make it." ”

At noon, the father and son ate incense silver silk noodles. After eating, Qi Hao said depressedly: "It's not as delicious as the beef noodles made by Mother Bai." ”

Yun Qing nodded approvingly: "It's far worse than Mother Bai's beef noodles." ”

Keewoo almost choked to death, he really couldn't find a common language.

After lunch, Yun Qing said, "I'll go to the barracks tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

Qiyou thought he had misheard, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, do you mean I can go too?"

Yun Qing felt a little strange about this: "Why can't you go?" Or do you not want to go?"

Qiyou smiled: "I've wanted to go for a long time, but I'm afraid Dad, you don't want to take me there." ”

Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then touched Qiyou's head and said, "Your mother and I treat your brothers and sisters equally, but we are all busy and inevitably have some negligence. You have to feel that we are doing something wrong, tell it, and don't hide it in your heart. "Yunqing and Yuxi are still very open-minded.

Qiyou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Dad, where do you want to go, I was afraid that you would think I would make trouble, so you didn't take me there." "That's what I said, but my heart is sour and sweet. Because he did a lot of things against Yunqing when he was a child, he thought that Yunqing didn't like him the most among the four brothers.

Yunqing smiled and said, "Don't think nonsense, I didn't take you there before because I thought you were still young, and you didn't ask for it yourself." If you want to go in the future, just say it. ”

After breakfast the next day, Yunqing took the two Qihao brothers out. At the gate, I happened to meet the Xuan family who came to the Han Mansion. Accompanied by Xuan's family, there is also a girl who is as beautiful as a flower. The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, her skin was as bright as snow, and there was a small dimple on her goose egg face, and her expression was innocent and lovely.

Although I haven't seen Yunqing, I can guess his identity by looking at his momentum and Qihao and Qiyou next to him. Xuan took the girl and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the guards.

The Xuan clan hurriedly said to Yun Qing: "Lord Wang, I am the younger sister of the eldest lady of the Han family, and I came to visit her. ”

Yun Qing nodded, ready to take his two sons away. Unexpectedly, the girl next to Xuan's family raised her head to look at Yunqing, and said with a coquettish smile: "Little girl Chulan meets the prince......" said official language, but with the unique softness of Wu language, it is very good.

There was a flash of disgust in Yun Qing's eyes, if it was a normal situation, he would definitely have the guards throw these two women into the street. But thinking that these two people are Xiang's mother's family, he can't do too much.

Qiyou glanced at the woman, and then sneered: "You are not even as good as the second-class maid next to my mother, and you dare to seduce my father?"

Chu Lan blushed and said, "I didn't ......"

Qiyou said impatiently: "Plug his mouth for me, and then throw it to the prefect's yamen, and tell Xia Buyun that these two women intend to be unfavorable to Xiao Wang and me, and let him deal with it according to the law." ”

Seeing that Yun Qing didn't make a sound, Xuan's face changed in fright when he saw the two guards approaching: "Lord Wang, the woman is really the younger sister of the eldest lady of the Han family, not an assassin." Lord Wang, if you don't believe it, you can ask the concierge of the Han Mansion. ”

The two guards didn't move when they heard this, but turned their heads to look at Yunqing. Here, Yunqing still has the final say.

"Do as the fourth young master says. "Even if Brother You has gone a little too far, Yunqing still chooses to protect his son in front of outsiders.

Xuan's face turned white with horror: "Prince, the prince spared his life......" entered the prefect's yamen, where is there still innocence.

Chu Lan was so frightened that she forgot to beg for mercy.

On the way, Qiyou cautiously glanced at Yunqing, and saw that his expression was as usual before he spoke: "Dad, I just couldn't be angry. "I dare to seduce you in front of our brother, it's so disrespectful to him and my eldest brother.

Yun Qing said with a cold face: "Don't mention this matter again." After Liu Yi's incident, those women saw him like a flood of beasts, and today's episode really made him a little stunned.

Qiyou turned his head to look at Qihao, and saw that Qihao was just laughing and not saying a word, and he stopped talking.

Xuan's and her sister-in-law were taken away on the front foot, and the news of the back foot spread to the inner courtyard.

Xiang Shi was lying on the soft collapse, even if the futon was fanning her next to her, she felt hot: "I don't know when such a day will end?"

Futon smiled and said, "It will be cool by next month." "Xiang's due date is in February next year, and it will be lukewarm and hot at that time, which is very good.

As he was talking, he saw Pucao walk in.

Seeing that Pu Cao's face was a little pale, Xiang sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pu Cao said with a white face: "Just now, my uncle's wife collided with the prince and the two highnesses at the gate, and the prince was angry and sent her to the prefect's yamen. ”

Xiang stood up directly in shock: "What did you say?" She didn't wait to see Xuan's and couldn't let her go to court, once she went to court, the Xiang family would not be able to raise their heads outside in the future.

Pucao was also scared, but this matter was too big to hide. Pu Cao said with red eyes: "This news is absolutely true. Madam, how can this be good?" If the Xuan family is really imprisoned, even his own wife will be faceless.

The futon was calmer: "Can you inquire clearly, how did the uncle and wife collide with the prince? Also, does the prince know the identity of the uncle and wife?" If you don't know the identity of the Xuan family, it's easy to do, and if you know that you will send her to the yamen, you will be very angry.

Pu Cao is Han Hao's niece, and it is also this relationship that the Xiang family will promote her to a first-class maid. In the same way, the news from the outside world can now be known at the first time.

Seeing Pu Cao's hesitant expression when he looked at him, Xiang said: "It's okay, I have to know the whole story of this matter before I can go to the master to intercede." "This matter was ordered by Yunqing personally, and if you want to save the Xuan family, you can only turn to Han Jianming for help.

Pucao lowered her head and told what had happened.

After hearing this, Xiang was so angry that he almost turned his back on it. Xuan's younger brother killed someone, and because both sides were at fault, he was not sentenced to death, but sentenced to exile in the West Sea for twenty years. After the case ended, the Xuan family was very honest in the Xiang family, and there was no more moth. Xiang was still worried after knowing it, so he asked Pu Ye to pay attention to Xuan's family, and if there was anything wrong, let people tell her immediately. However, during this period of time, the situation was calm, and Xiang put this matter aside for the time being. Who would have thought that such a big incident would happen to her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the futon said while giving Xiang a good breath: "Madam, you can't be angry, this will cause the fetus to be angry." ”

Xiang pressed his chest and took a deep breath, and it took a while to calm down. Xiang gritted his teeth and scolded: "This slut, she wants to kill me and the Xiang family." "Dare to bring her sister to the Han Mansion to seduce the prince, if the princess knows that she and the Xiang family may die.

Futuan said: "Madam, it is urgent to take you out." Otherwise, the master may be angry with you. ”

"Go to the study. "If her husband mistakenly thinks that this is her idea, then there is really no place to die.

When he walked out of the house, he said to the futon: "You go to Xia's house and tell your aunt about this." ”

Han Jianming was talking to Mr. Zhao about something, and when he heard Xiang coming over, he was a little puzzled: "Please come in, Madame!"

As soon as Xiang entered the study, he couldn't care about his face, and directly knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Master, are they all concubines, and concubines have caused trouble to the master." ”

Han Jianming was confused, what trouble did Xiang bring to her at home: "What's wrong?" Xiang has been raising a baby at home during this time, and he can't do anything to harm him.

It's not a shame now, if she doesn't handle it well, she and the entire Xiang family will die. So Xiang didn't hide it, and cried and said everything she knew: "Master, the concubine really didn't know that the Xuan family would bring her sister to the door and provoke the prince at the door." ”

Not only the Xiang family, but also many people in the officialdom think that the Liu family was wiped out because of Yuxi's jealousy. As for the evidence of collaboration with the enemy, they did not think it was true. People in the officialdom think so, let alone the women in the back house.

Han Jianming's face was also a little ugly after hearing this, but when he saw Xiang kneeling on the ground with a pale face, his heart softened: "You go back first, I will deal with this matter." "It doesn't matter what Yunqing's idea is, but he can't tolerate these things at the gate of the Han family.

Xiang was very scared, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that Han Jianming would be bored by asking more. Han Jianming saw that she was worried that it would not be good for the child, and said, "Don't think about it, I know this has nothing to do with you." "Don't say that Yuxi is notorious, even ordinary women will not pimp their husbands' brother-in-law as long as they are sober-minded.

Hearing this, Xiang's heart was half relieved: "Master, I'm afraid that the princess will misunderstand." ”

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, the princess is very busy, how can she have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter." "There are countless women who want to fly up the branches with the help of Yunqing, but no one has succeeded until now. If Yuxi cares about everything, he won't be tired to death!

Xiang went back with confidence.

Han Jianming called Han Gao and said to him, "You go and tell Xia Qinghou in person to deal with these two women strictly." "Whoever has the courage to come to his door and do such a deed shall bear his wrath.
