The holy decree was sent down to the Xia Mansion at noon the next day.

There was a man kneeling in the courtyard.

The waiter who announced the decree this time was changed, it was a white and chubby waiter, who looked very pleasing, and after reading the decree, he said respectfully: "Our family congratulates the old lady, madam, Lord Xia." ”

The old lady was helped by Xie to stand up, stretched out her hand and stuffed two big red seals to the waiter.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Third Prince is good in the palace, but now it's rare to see each other. ”

The chamberlain smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is well, before coming out today, His Royal Highness the Third Prince also asked our family to say hello to you, saying that you should relax." ”

The old lady smiled again and ordered the waiter to go down to eat some snacks, and the waiter waved his hand, with a smile on his face, "We have to go back to the palace early today." ”

And Xia Shijing, who was waiting on the side, was cold in his heart, he originally thought that on the holy decree, even if there was a little bit of a star, there would always be a place to mention him, but it was not until the last word on the holy decree was read that he found that he had not even mentioned himself for half a minute.

Originally, this holy decree was a bit irregular, Dayan's edict to the official's female dependents has always corresponded to the level of the official, Xia Shijing's official position is only four grades, even if it is an old lady, at most please seal a lady of the third grade, but now it is beyond the grade, and the lady who was awarded the second grade, even the Xie family has also been named a lady of the third grade.

But his official position has not been moved, what does this mean?

His heart was like a cold wind passing through it, and it was cold.

For a while, Xia Shijing knelt on the ground in a daze, and it wasn't until Xie whispered in his ear, "Master, master—" that he woke up.

Xia Shijing stood up, looked at the white and chubby face of the waiter, and asked hesitantly: "Gonggong Cui, doesn't the emperor have any other words?"

Gonggong Cui shook his head and shook the dust gently, his face was a ball of kindness, "This will is still from His Royal Highness the Third Prince to ask the emperor, when the two ladies turn around and enter the palace to thank you, don't forget to go to Yunhua Palace to say thank you." ”

Chanyi was a little stunned, didn't Chu Shaoyuan say that he wanted to take Aunt Yan out? Why did he suddenly carry the concubine?

After thinking about it, it suddenly became a little clear that he had not yet opened a government to build a mansion, so naturally he could not be rewarded separately, so it could only be like this.

However, does he know that Aunt Yan is a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted person? If he knew, wouldn't he be afraid that he would be angry if he did? But if he didn't, would she want to find a way for him to find out?

But she couldn't figure out what Chu Shaoyuan was thinking for a while, and she couldn't help but have a headache.

Chanyi turned her head and wanted to talk to the old lady, but she unexpectedly saw Xia Shijing with a lost face, and couldn't help but be a little sarcastic in her heart, her father was calculating everywhere in the world, but you must know that people's hearts are always the one that is not easy to calculate.

The old lady sent someone to send Grandpa Cui out of the Xia Mansion, and before leaving, she stuffed two more red seals, and Grandpa Cui returned to the palace with a smile on his face.

The room swept away the joy just now, and it became a little dull.

The old lady was busy putting the ornaments she had just been rewarded, silk and satin, into the warehouse.

Chanyi pretended to walk up to the old lady and saluted in a proper manner: "Say hello to the old lady." ”

Then he turned around and saluted Xie: "Say hello to the lady." ”

The few people who were busy in the room laughed heartily, and the old lady reached out to twist her nose, "You little monkey, you don't have a moment of peace." ”

Chanyi smiled and hid behind Xie's back, poked her head out, and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandmother is unreasonable, is Wanwan's rule wrong?

Xie Shi was also amused by her, and pulled her in front of him, "That's right, we are clever at night, and we know that we will change our words in the future." ”

And Xian Yi, who had been waiting on the side, pulled the silk silk in his hand, looked at Xie Shi, who was wearing a three-grade command suit and was full of wealth, and his heart was even more unwilling, and said to the old lady: "Granddaughter, congratulations to grandmother, mother." ”

The old lady thought of the emperor's reward to Aunt Yan, and nodded lightly.

Xian Yi hated even more in her heart, obviously her mother saved the three princes, but now everyone has to be in front of them, how can she not be annoyed, she thought about it and said loudly: "My aunt was carried as a concubine, and I will also go to ask her for a reward." ”

The old lady glanced at her, pointed to some of the rewards for Aunt Yan that had not been put into the warehouse, and said to Mama An: "You go and accompany the fourth lady and send these rewards to Xifeng Garden." ”

Mama An took the order, picked up the things with the maid and the maid, glanced at Xianyi, and Xianyi consciously went out of Fushoutang to find Aunt Yan.

……

Entering Xifeng Garden, Aunt Yan was leaning on the pillow for a nap.

The little maid at the door lifted the curtain, and Xianyi came in and shook the curtain open, and with a "click", the curtain hit the door frame heavily.

Aunt Yan woke up instantly, opened her eyes and saw that it was her, her brows relaxed, and she stretched out her hand to beckon her over.

"Xian'er, why are you here?"

Since her daughter moved to Fujudo, she rarely comes to her again.

Aunt Yan knew in her heart that it was the old pious woman who detained her daughter and didn't let her come, but how could she come over today, could it be that something was wrong?

Xian Yi's face was a little annoyed, and before she could speak, she heard Mama An say with joy on her face: "Fourth Miss is here to say hello to you." ”

Aunt Yan was stunned for a moment, happy? Since she got into their way, she has been grounded, where does the joy come from?

Mama An asked the maid to put all the things in her hand on the table.

"You are now the side lady of the house, and the chamberlain has just come to announce her will, and the old lady has sent us to say good news to you. ”

Aunt Yan was a little stunned, and a faint layer of joy slowly floated on her face.

Mother Chen was the first to salute Aunt Yan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs. Fang, the old woman is thick-skinned and wants a reward from you!"

Aunt Yan came back to her senses, took out a few plum blossom-shaped golden nudes from the dresser, and said with a smile: "Reward!

Saying that, one person rewarded two full gold nudes, and the maids and servants retreated satisfied.

Mama An looked at Xian Yi and said respectfully, "Fourth Miss, we should go back." ”

Xian Yi's eyes widened, and she hugged Aunt Yan, "I haven't spoken to Mrs. Fang yet, you go back first, and I'll go back later." ”

Mama An looked at Aunt Yan, and then listened to Aunt Yan say: "Is there something unclean here that will make Sister Xian'er contaminated?" Or is it that in today's Xia Mansion, you can't even listen to the words of the master?"

Mama An said, "The slave is waiting for the fourth lady outside." With that, she bowed and retreated.

Xian Yi hugged Aunt Yan in the inner room and cried, sobbing and choking, which made Aunt Yan's eyes red, hurriedly hugged her, and asked softly, "Xian'er, what is this?"

Xian Yi cried and said, "Mother, what does Brother Yi mean? He just asked for a reward for you, why did he also have a reward along with his grandmother and that woman?"

The warmth that Aunt Yan had just floated on suddenly retreated, and she asked repeatedly, "What did you say?"

Xian Yi cried almost angrily, and nodded while crying, "Grandmother was named the lady of the second grade, and the woman was named the lady of the third grade, you only have the name of the lady of the side, and the reward will be more than theirs, but there is not even a commandment suit, the edict suit worn by the Xie family looks very good-looking, but it is obvious that you have suffered for your brother over the years, but you have benefited them, and Brother Yi doesn't know what to think, so favoritism......

Aunt Yan held her palms tightly, she didn't expect that not only in Xia Shijing, she couldn't get anything good, even her nephew didn't listen to her mercy, if she didn't save him back then, regardless of him, let him die in the palace, it would be better than this injustice!

No.

It can't go on like this.

She still has a back hand, she knows the master's temperament over the years, and what the master values most.

Since the nephew can no longer be relied on, he can only rely on himself.

They framed and insulted like this, if she is depressed, Xian'er's life will be even more miserable!

Her eyes, which had been somewhat dead, lit up instantly, and a light of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She hugged her clothes and patted her softly, "Don't cry, my mother must find a way to take back the housekeeping rights in the house, don't panic, calm down." ”

Xian Yi shook her head in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "You are like this now, what do you think? The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the little slut's grandmother, they won't let me go, they are grinding you together, and they are trying to grind me together, just to think of the way to grind our mother and daughter to death, so as they wanted......"

Aunt Yan raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect such a show, she looked up at Mother Chen, and pointed to a cage in the room, "Mother Chen, take out that scripture." ”

Mother Chen was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Mrs. Fang, this is what you have asked for so hard, and you plan to present it to your nobles!"

Aunt Yan shook her head, with a firm expression, "I can't take care of it now, if you want to take it out, you will take it out." ”

Mother Chen went to open the cage and took out the scriptures, and Aunt Yan handed them to Xian Yi, "This is a hand-translated copy of the "Myoho-renge-kyo" that my mother got earlier, and my mother will want to ask the old lady to agree with you to go to celebrate Mrs. Xie's birthday, but before that, you have to hold back, no matter what happens, don't come by temperament, you know?"

Aunt Yan said cautiously, Xian Yi was sobbing and choking, took the scripture, looked up at Aunt Yan's firm face, and nodded heavily.

Aunt Yan approached her again and whispered a few words, and her whole person seemed to come to life when she heard it, with a look of shock and surprise on her face.

Aunt Yan was not at ease, and whispered: "If you want to get what you have in mind, you must learn to be patient, and be careful everywhere, my mother is like this now, because I underestimated my opponent and didn't have enough patience, so I fell into their way!"

Aunt Yan stretched out her hand to pull up Xian's clothes and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, "Xian'er, if you want to cry, you have to cry on the bright face, so that the big guy can see that you have been wronged, and crying behind your back like this is something that only people who can't afford to do it, you know?"

Xian Yi nodded, looking at Aunt Yan's firm eyes in her red eyes, and the whole person seemed to have strength.

Aunt Yan pulled her shirt and got up with her embroidered warm shoes, "Let's go, my mother will go to Fushoutang with you." ”

Xian Yi nodded, reached out to grab Aunt Yan's hand, and stepped out of Xifeng Garden.

As soon as I walked to the middle road, I met Aunt Zhao, who had never appeared since she hurt her face.

At this time, the blisters on Aunt Zhao's face finally disappeared, and she looked at Aunt Yan timidly, and said softly: "Congratulations to my sister." ”

Aunt Yan snorted a laugh from her mouth and glanced at her contemptuously, "You should congratulate me, I was not killed by you, and now I have become a concubine in the mansion." ”

The words were full of mockery.

Aunt Zhao took a step back and looked at her warily.

Aunt Yan smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't touch you now, I will have your hard life in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away, leaving Aunt Zhao alone, with a subtle light flashing in her eyes.

[It's really uncomfortable today, I've been groggy in my head for a long time, and I've finally finished today, and I've been walking the plot recently, so everyone knows, there's no bright spot, you can wait for the outbreak. 】
