Chapter 407: Mountain Bandits

Seeing that the New Year is over in a few months, after the New Year, Xiao Jiu will be nineteen years old, and Su Mo will also be twenty-four, in ancient times, this is an older young man, not to mention that there are eight such older young men in the Su family, counting the two cousins of the Zulan family, it is ten people.

Xiao Jiu felt sad when he thought about it, not to mention the Su Lan clan and the Lan Li clan who were mothers.

"Brothers don't want to get married, mother, don't worry about it, anyway, it's not you who sleeps in the cold bed, sooner or later they will have to regret going. Xiao Jiu had no choice but to comfort Su Lan's family so much, after all, she didn't feel how big her brothers were in her heart.

"The second master of the Yang family can marry a daughter-in-law at that age, what is the age of the brothers?"

Although Xiao Jiu is not very interested in such an old cow eating tender grass, this era is like this, existence is reasonable, and she can't say anything.

"If I really want to marry a daughter-in-law at the age of Second Master Yang, what hope do I have, I might as well count on Brother An. Su Lanshi said angrily.

Xiao Jiu stopped talking, forgiving her for not knowing much about Su Lan's mood.

Brother An'er's full moon banquet, although not many people were invited, but for the sake of the face of Su Guogong and the Queen Mother, many people came uninvited to congratulate them.

The palace has rewarded a lot of things, and several princes have also come to the door to congratulate them in person, whether they are sincere or not, at least sincerity is enough.

Yan Xiren treats the princes on happy occasions, but he doesn't have the cold face he used to have, and he saves face for a few people, and he doesn't make them look too ugly.

Although the third prince is still in Jiangzhou, the etiquette is not light, but his relationship with Yanxi has always been good, and the courtiers are not surprised.

After the banquet began, Yan Xi personally went to the backyard to take An Ge'er out, and received a lot of praise, not to mention how the front yard was, but those women in the backyard saw An Ge'er's appearance, and their faces were praised, and their hearts were still a little sour.

The little doll who is just a full moon looks so good-looking, and when she grows up in the future, she doesn't know how to attract love.

Compared with the two, there are more people who are jealous of Xiao Jiu, which mother thinks that her child is the best, but with such a jewel as Brother An'er in front, it is impossible to say that their children will be covered by Brother An in the future, which makes these ladies even more annoyed.

What happened at the full moon banquet, Xiao Jiu didn't know, anyway, she didn't have a good impression of these ladies, Yan Xi was a lonely minister, and he had already told her, don't pay attention to these people, Xiao Jiu has always carried it out to the end, say a few more words if it is pleasing to the eye, and don't look at it at all if it is not pleasing to the eye.

Although it was already out of confinement, the weather had cooled down, Xiao Jiu didn't dare to take An Ge'er out, and the mother and son stayed in the house every day, but they didn't feel bored.

When Brother An was two months old, the third prince finally came back from Jiangzhou.

"Girl, the third prince was seriously injured, and when he returned to the city, many people saw it, and he was very embarrassed, and now it has spread throughout the capital. Furong said to Xiao Jiu worriedly.

The third prince entered the city, but before he returned to the mansion, the news of his injury had basically spread throughout the capital.

"Seriously injured?" Xiao Jiu frowned, thinking that there was another fourth prince who was eyeing him, she felt that this matter must have something to do with the four princes.

"You ask the housekeeper to take a look for yourself, and then take some of the medicinal herbs in the house to see if there are any that can be used. ”

Although he has not been with the three princes for a long time, this person is Yan Xi's most valued cousin, and he will also be the monarch he supports in the future, and he is still Nanyu's apprentice.

Otherwise, what if Emperor Qian passed the throne to Yan Xi?

Just for this, the three princes have to live well.

Because of the news of the third prince's injury, Xiao Jiu was a little absent-minded when he played with An Ge'er, but fortunately, An Ge'er is still a stupid boy now, he doesn't understand anything, and he can play alone.

Yuan Hai went to the Three Princes' Mansion with medicinal herbs, but he didn't see anyone, but asked the Three Princes about his injuries in private, and after getting the exact news, he went back to the mansion to return.

"Madam, the third prince is a little seriously injured, the most dangerous time has passed, and now his life is not in danger. ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, and asked again, "Do you know how the third prince was in danger?"

"On the way back to Beijing, I encountered mountain bandits, originally it was just a robbery, but somehow I found out the identity of the three princes, and those mountain bandits were afraid of reprisals in the future, so they planned to kill people and kill them, but fortunately, the three princes were also followed by many people, so they escaped. ”

Yuan Hai can ask so much, also because he is the housekeeper of the eldest princess's mansion and a Yanxi person.

"Well, I see, you go down. ”

"Yes. ”

After Yuan Hai left, Xiao Jiu thought about something thoughtfully, and it wasn't until Brother An cried that he recalled Xiao Jiu's mind.

After changing An Ge'er's diaper, feeding him, and watching him fall asleep, Xiao Jiu went back to thinking about the matter of the third prince.

There was no more news from the Three Princes' Mansion, but the Emperor Qiandi in the palace was furious and ordered the suppression of bandits, and the matter fell on Yan Xi's head.

When Yanxi came back in the evening, he told Xiao Jiu about it.

"Where are the bandits?" Xiao Jiu felt that those who intercepted the three princes might not be mountain bandits.

"***, it's three or four days away from the capital, you should be able to guess that the mountain bandits that the third prince met this time are not real mountain bandits, I guess, this time it was the hands of the four princes, and those who pretended to be mountain bandits must be those private soldiers he hid. ”

Yan Xi evoked a sneer, "I didn't expect that he would show his feet first, otherwise I don't know when he would be able to catch him raising private soldiers again." ”

"The third prince's injury is really serious, or is it pretending?"

Xiao Jiu saw Yan Xi's appearance, and guessed that he should have learned the news in advance, and did this game with the third prince, waiting for the fourth prince to jump in.

"I got the news a little late, although the third prince also made preparations, but I still didn't expect that the fourth prince should have guessed that we would plan and prepare a backhand, otherwise the third prince would not have been so seriously injured. ”

Xiao Jiu looked at Yan Xi puzzled.

Yan Xi said coldly: "Among the people who returned to Beijing with the third prince this time, there are people from the fourth prince, if he hadn't been ruthless, the third prince would not have been defenseless, so he was injured so badly." ”

Xiao Jiu didn't expect that the four princes were so well prepared, and the people who were placed next to the three princes did not do anything in Jiangzhou, but killed them when they were about to arrive in the capital.

"It seems that he has no fear, he is so close to the capital, he has never heard of a mountain bandit before, and he actually dares to act as a mountain bandit. Xiao Jiu didn't know whether to say that the fourth prince was bold or careless. 18110
