Chapter 367, Follow-up
After Jiang Xiaolou left, Princess Xi Su was depressed for a long time, and then if it weren't for the fact that she still had two young daughters, it was estimated that she might die directly.
And Jiang Xiaolou did not leave Lin'an City, and came back from time to time, but every time he came back in a different capacity, for Princess Xi Su's mother-in-law, for the body of the original owner, she still often paid attention to it secretly, which is why the imperial doctors were helpless, the medicine stone did not work, but Princess Xi has always been alive!
Every time it was a critical time, Jiang Xiaolou would secretly add some space spiritual spring water to their food and diet to let them recuperate their bodies.
The Jiang family is the same, the only difference is that after Jiang Xiaolou left, the brothers Jiang Hongxuan and Jiang Hongyi became more and more calm, and they became more and more measured, and they obviously became very important people in the court.
Of course, it cannot be denied that there is the support of the new emperor Chu Yunxiu, the old emperor is now the emperor, after taking the pill left by Jiang Xiaolou, the old emperor's body is getting better and better, he can walk and jump, and he has not been the emperor because his health is better, after Jiang Xiaolou left. The old emperor gave the throne to Chu Yunxiu, the prince of Le, and he took the concubines in his harem to move to the palace.
As for the crown prince Chu Yunxiu, he was still very reluctant at the beginning, he always firmly believed that Jiang Xiaolou was still there, so he always planned to look for Jiang Xiaolou, but he didn't leave after all, after becoming the emperor, Chu Yunxiu worked hard, and the commercial street in Nancheng was also built, and the beggars in Nancheng had a better life.
Chu Yunxiu became the emperor, there was no queen in the harem, no concubines, so there were no heirs, and the ministers wrote many times, asking the emperor to choose a concubine, but he refused, and the harem was useless!
Chu Yunxiu put all his energy on the political affairs of the former dynasty, with the commercial street of Jiang Xiaolou before, as well as encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland, the national strength of the Southern Dynasty rose several levels for a while, as if it was above the surrounding other countries, and the people of the Southern Dynasty had a saying that they did not close their doors at night for a while.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, beggars are rarely seen, and there are few cases of selling children and daughters among the people, and the laws of the Southern Dynasty have also been readjusted, and the stepfamily is not allowed to treat the children born of the original spouse harshly·······
As for the fourth prince and the eighth prince, although Nangong Mengyun and the three of them saved their lives, they were like wasted people, and they lived on the bed for the rest of their lives, after Chu Yunxiu ascended the throne and became the emperor, seeing that they were already like this and got the punishment they deserved, they didn't embarrass them.
Chu Yunxiu ascended the throne, and for several princes who were crowned kings, even the descendants of the eldest prince and the second prince who had died before also got descendants, or they were crowned county kings, or rewarded with silver money or something.
Because of Jiang Xiaolou, the Jiang family has received special favor from Chu Yunxiu, Jiang Hongxuan, as the eldest son of the third room and Jiang Xiaolou's own brother, was exceptionally awarded the title of Chang'an, and he has been a knight for generations, Jiang Hongyi entered the cabinet at a young age, and it is not far from being crowned king!
The only thing that made Jiang Xiaolou strange was that Jiang Hongyi refused Emperor Chu Yunxiu's marriage, and did not marry Chu Lingge, the sixth princess of Concubine Zhang Gui, as his wife, but took the initiative to marry the four-room adopted daughter of the Dingguo Mansion and became a widowed Nangong Mengxue.
Between Jiang Hongyi and Nangong Mengxue, it can be regarded as fate, Nangong Mengxue became a widow a few days before they got married, which family was hindered by the new emperor's foreign family in the Dingguo Mansion, so there was no embarrassment, and the marriage was abandoned, but this can't change the fact that there was a marriage contract after all.
Nangong Mengxue has always been good friends with Jiang Xiaoqiao's sister-in-law, so she often went to talk to Jiang Xiaoqiao during that time·······
"Fifth sister, thank you for helping me bring Sister Xiang these two days, otherwise I won't be busy!" In the courtyard of Nangong Patriarch Jiang Xiaoqiao and Nangong Wenzhou, Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Nangong Mengxue who helped him take care of his sick daughter Nangong Xiang, and expressed heartfelt gratitude in his heart.
During this time, Jiang Xiaoqiao became pregnant again, and this pregnancy was very different from the previous two times, this pregnancy, Jiang Xiaoqiao was tossed, what to eat and vomit, there was no strength at all.
At this time, her three-year-old daughter Nangong Xiang suddenly became ill, and her sick daughter liked to stay by her side, and asked her to take care of her personally to be quieter.
Later, Nangong Mengxue inadvertently went to her yard once, and then Jiang Xiaoqiao found that since his daughter did not reject Nangong Mengxue's aunt, he had the cheekiness to ask Nangong Mengxue to help her take care of her daughter for a day or two.
At this time, Nangong Mengxue was already seventeen years old, if she married at the age of fifteen, she was now the mother of the child, but it backfired, and she was naturally disrespectful to her sister-in-law's trust, so she came over every day to take care of Nangong Xiang, a little person.
It was too late at night, so I rested in the wing room, and I was very concerned about Nangong Xiang's niece, and this care was ten days, and finally Nangong Xiang's condition was better, and Jiang Xiaoqiao could finally rest assured a little, so he found an opportunity to thank Nangong Mengxue.
"The fourth sister-in-law is polite, it is also a matter of course for an aunt to take care of her niece!" Nangong Mengxue was a little embarrassed, although she was the fifth lady of the Nangong family, but one was an adopted daughter, but a concubine in the fourth room, thanks to the fourth sister-in-law of the big house did not dislike it, let her help take care of it, she was too late after she was willing, where did she dare to accept thanks.
Jiang Xiaoqiao's husband is the third son of Nangong's family, and he is the fourth in Nangong's family, so Nangong Mengxue calls her the fourth sister-in-law.
The two sisters-in-law were talking, and after a while, someone came in to report to Jiang Xiaoqiao, saying that Jiang Hongyi, the second master of the Nangong family, was visiting, Nangong Mengxue hurriedly avoided it, and the two of them didn't know how they met in the back garden of Nangong's house.
"Who is that?" Jiang Hongyi, under the leadership of a housekeeper mother beside Jiang Xiaoqiao, wandered around the back garden of Nangong's house, and then saw Nangong Mengxue in the chrysanthemum bush, Jiang Hongyi's heart tightened, and then asked the subordinate who took him to play.
The reply of the next person, that person is the fifth lady of the Nangong family, Jiang Hongyi's eyes lit up when he heard it!
Jiang Hongyi walked to Nangong Mengxue's side under the incomprehensible gaze of his subordinates, and then talked to Nangong Mengxue, Nangong Mengxue didn't care at first, but thought it was the brother of the fourth sister-in-law in the family, the second master of the Jiang family saw him, out of politeness, so he stepped forward to greet him.
The two of them looked like they were old at first sight, Jiang Hongyi was very literate, Nangong Mengxue was also the daughter of a scholarly family, and after being the adopted daughter of the fourth room of the Nangong family, she also liked to read very much, and she was very talented.
Nangong Mengxue didn't think about it at that time, it was not good for her to do this, but after thinking about it, she had a bad reputation, and she killed the person who was married before she passed the door, and the Jiang family was now the door of the Marquis of Chang'an, and she would definitely not like herself, after figuring it out, Nangong Mengxue treated Jiang Hongyi as an ordinary friend, and the two often met to play the piano and paint, drink and have fun, Nangong Mengxue slowly walked out of the shadows under the leadership of Jiang Hongyi, and the two became friends.
And Nangong Mengxue regards Jiang Hongyi as ordinary, but Jiang Hongyi is not like this, Jiang Hongyi has been dreaming since he was fourteen years old, in the dream, a young woman stands in a chrysanthemum bush, the woman's appearance is not clear, but from the perspective of words and deeds, she is a lady, and when she inadvertently saw Nangong Mengxue in the Dingguo Mansion, Jiang Hongyi decided that Nangong Mengxue was the girl in his dream.
After all, the two are lonely and widowed, so they often meet, although there are subordinates waiting on the side, but after all, it is not appropriate, and over time there are rumors, Jiang Xiaoqiao really likes Nangong Mengxue's sister, but this liking and making her his maiden brother and sister are two different things.
The Nangong family and the Jiang family also realized this, just when Jiang Hongyi was about to show his eldest brother that he was going to marry Nangong Mengxue, someone from the palace announced that the two brothers had entered the palace, and the new emperor Chu Yunxiu had been thinking about the Jiang family since Jiang Xiaolou left.
Jiang Hongyi is almost twenty years old now, and the marriage is still not settled, at this time, Chu Yunxiu, who is the emperor, naturally heard the gossip, thinking that among his sisters now, there are two who happen to be in the boudoir, one is the daughter of Concubine Zhang Gui, the sixteen-year-old Sixth Emperor Sister Chu Lingge, and the other is the fourteen-year-old Seventh Emperor Sister Chu Lingxin, whose biological mother is deceased.
Among the two princesses, the biological mother of the sixth princess is Concubine Zhang Gui, and the biological mother of the seventh princess is deceased.
Although Emperor Chu Yunxiu did not succeed in marrying Jiang Xiaolou, in his heart, he already regarded Jiang Xiaolou as his wife, so in the matter of marriage, the emperor wanted to ask Jiang Hongyi first about his intentions, and then gave the two of them a marriage.
Fortunately, it was also like this, the emperor did not make a joke, and did not make the sixth princess Chu Lingge lose face, there are only a few people who know about this matter, the emperor, the two Jiang brothers, the emperor and Concubine Zhang Gui.
Jiang Hongyi refused the emperor's marriage for him and the sixth princess, and then said about him and Nangong Mengxue, the emperor looked at Jiang Hongyi and said very sincerely, not like he was lying, and he had also experienced asking but couldn't, so the emperor gave up the plan to marry the six princesses and Jiang Hongyi.
At this time, Concubine Zhang Gui took the opportunity to bring it up, her mother's family, that is, the eldest son of the Zhang family and the sixth princess were of the same age, and after Chu Yunxiu, the new emperor, discussed with the emperor, he was also happy to get the sixth princess and the eldest prince of the Zhang family to kiss each other, so he married the sixth princess and the eldest prince of the Zhang family.
As for the matter of Jiang Hongyi and Nangong Mengxue, Emperor Chu Yunxiu felt that Nangong Mengxue, the identity of the adopted daughter of the Nangong family, was not worthy of Jiang Hongyi, but Jiang Hongyi insisted, and then it was the Emperor Taishang who thought of Jiang Xiaolou's pill to give him an extra ten years of life, so that Emperor Chu Yunxiu decreed that Nangong Mengxue was canonized as the lord of Xianju.
The emperor of the front foot issued a decree to canonize Nangong Mengxue, an adopted daughter from all over the world as the lord of Xianju, and the Jiang family on the back foot carried a generous gift to the door, the Jiang family is like a strong day, and the Nangong family is not far behind, and the two families are in-laws, and the marriage is naturally logical, and then the three media and six appointments, the marriage date is set in three months.
When Jiang Xiaolou knew, the marriage date of Jiang Hongyi and Nangong Mengxue had already been set, and it was only two months before they got married.
Brother gets married, as a younger sister, how can you not give gifts, but Jiang Xiaolou is already a person who left in a phoenix, if this is the time, on the day of the wedding, if he appears, or asks people to give a generous gift, I am afraid that it will set off another storm, after thinking about it, Jiang Xiaolou decided to prepare a generous gift for the second brother before the second brother got married, and secretly gave it to the second brother.
Ten days before Jiang Hongyi got married, one morning, after Jiang Hongyi woke up, he found that there was a big box in his room, and there was a letter on the box, which said that his second brother Jiang Hongyi had opened it personally.
Jiang Hongyi had a bold guess in his heart, and hurriedly opened the letter at this time, and what he saw was indeed a letter from his little sister to him, in addition to congratulating him on his marriage, the letter also said that the contents of this box were a congratulatory gift from her sister to her second brother's marriage, and also for her future second sister-in-law.
When he opened the box, Jiang Hongyi felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and inside was a very beautiful set of Dongzhu head noodles, in addition to a piece of high-quality Lantian jade, and a piece of inkstone that he knew was extraordinary at a glance.
Lantian Yu and the inkstone are for him, as for Dongzhu's head noodles should be for his wife, Nangong Mengxue, Jiang Hongyi sighed in his heart, it turned out that his little sister had not forgotten herself, nor had she left, and had been secretly observing them.
Jiang Hongyi sorted out his mood, and then went to the eldest brother Jiang Hongxuan's side, Jiang Hongxuan and his wife also received a box together, which was also a set of excellent heads and some things, there is no doubt that Jiang Xiaolou took advantage of the night to send it, Jiang Hongxuan was about to let someone go and call his second brother over, when he saw Jiang Hongyi coming, and his face was a little strange.
The two brothers exchanged letters, and sighed in their hearts, it turned out that their little sister made such a show because she didn't want to enter the palace and was bound everywhere, the two sighed in their hearts, and then Jiang Hongxuan told his second brother and his wife Ye Liangchen not to talk about this matter to anyone.
How could Jiang Xiaolou do things favoritively, after three days in a row, some small boxes appeared again in Jiang Hongxuan and Jiang Hongyi's room, all of which were attached to a letter, these were given by her eldest brother and second brother to other brothers and sisters in the family, as well as nephews and nieces, Jiang Hongxuan and the two brothers stayed up for a few nights only to see some boxes suddenly appear in their house, and they didn't see anyone, and they were also very helpless, but Jiang Xiaolou asked them to do everything. 10
