The Xia family did not wait for the news of Xingwang's family and returned to the countryside, leaving only the third brother to take care of the shop, and even the third sister-in-law went to the countryside with him. The courtyard, which had been bustling with people a day ago, became quiet in the blink of an eye.

The house in Zhaowang Village has long been not big enough, and Lao Xia Pozi and Da Sou are both arranging a new house for the sixth brother in the newly bought Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi is next to Zhaowang Village, and it was originally Xue Yu's aunt, Mrs. Wu. Since Mrs. Wu's son was killed by her nephew, Mrs. Wu's relationship with her mother's family has not been very good. In order to save his son, the money was used like flowing water. When Mrs. Xiao Xia heard about it, she found a Chinese person and bought this Zhuangzi.

In the end, it is a family, the house is built big and strong, and the fourth brother has repaired it according to the needs of his own family, but it is more beautiful than the house in Fengxiang Mansion.

Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xiao Xia and Mrs. Xia live in the main courtyard, with two partial courtyards on the east and west sides, the new houses of the fifth and sixth brothers are in the east, and the third and fourth brothers are in the west, and the family occupies a courtyard. There was also a room for the girls in the main courtyard, and in the morning it was given to the old Xia mother-in-law, and the little Xia mother-in-law invited An to go out together. The front yard is for the boys.

Xiaoyu watched as Mrs. Xia led the people of the Wang family to lay it out. Because the days are in a hurry, a lot of furniture was made by the fourth brother in the past, and the materials and craftsmanship are not bad. Several daughters-in-law of the Wang family were also very satisfied when they saw it, and it took a day to tidy up the yard.

is still a little reserved in the Xia family, and when he returns to his house, he surrounds his sister-in-law to flatter. "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law are extremely kind people. The sixth brother has grown up under our watch, and he looks energetic and capable. ”

"It's a big family. Although there are more concubines, this family business is also big. ”

"Those daughters-in-law are not good, and our girls are a step above them in literacy. It is said that the third sister-in-law played a good abacus, but she didn't meet our girl. It turned out that Wang Xiucai's ancestor was born as a bookkeeper, and he saved money to buy such a piece of land in his hometown. The elder brother and sister in the family can walk and start planning and settling accounts. The two elder sisters of Miss Wang San are the women's tents of large families, and they specialize in helping those ladies and wives to take care of the marriage.

There are also several girls from the Xia family: "The third girl, I must have paid attention to the fourth sister-in-law's Yan'er in the past, I heard that the little girl is very skillful and has a good temper." Although I am still young, I am similar to my sister's son. ”

After hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Rushan, Ruju is not young, help me explore the eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, my mother's niece and nephew are very good in character and appearance." ”

The three girls pursed their lips and responded one by one.

A few days later, the Xia family received a reply from the sixth brother, and sure enough, Lan Shizi heard that he was going to marry and gave him another month of vacation. The errand went well, and they had seven or eight days to leave for the northwest. Lan Shizi also planned to come over to watch the ceremony in person, and the sixth brother told Xiao Xia to prepare for the room, and there were probably more than 20 followers.

Xiao Xia discussed with Lao Xia, and it was really inconvenient for more than 20 young men to live with this family, men, women and children. It is better to simply vacate the house in Zhaowang Village and give them a place to live. In this way, Lan Shizi is also at ease, and he is also happy.

The news from Fengxiang's mansion also spread slowly.

It is said that in the evening, King Xing took the princess and the prince back to the mansion, and was also surprised to see that the mansion was surrounded by groups. It looked like they didn't know what was going on, so they swaggered back to the main gate of Xingwang's Mansion. For a time, hundreds of people followed them to watch the excitement.

Sun Lu and the garrison Wu Jinsong were commanding their subordinates to dig three feet into the Xingwang Mansion, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. I listened to the report from my subordinates: "King Xing is standing outside the gate." The two of them also hurriedly ran out, but they didn't discuss a way to deal with it.

When King Xing asked Sun Lu for the holy decree of copying the house, Sun Lu and Wu Jinsong couldn't help but look at each other.

So a prince and two court officials scolded each other like a shrew scolding the street.

On the one hand, he said: "The prince has self-respecting troops and intends to rebel." ”

One replied, "Where the soldiers are, if I had tried to rebel, I would not be standing here today." ”

Sun Luruo said: "Someone has reported secretly. ”

The prince replied: "Who is the secret report?"

The prince reprimanded: "If you don't have court documents, you dare to arrest the prince privately." You can put the royal in your eyes. ”

Sun Lu returned to the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info: "The prince supports the army and respects himself"

After talking like this for an hour, the two of them couldn't say anything new. Even the onlookers were tired of listening to it, and they wanted to disperse.

In the end, it was the prince who flicked his sleeves and entered the Xingwang Mansion, and the accompanying guards rushed in and drove out the sergeants brought by the garrison, and closed the door of the mansion and ignored them.

Sun Lu and Wu Jinsong couldn't discuss it, so they had to continue to send troops around and handed the fold to the fast horse in the capital.

However, after five or six days, the emperor's instructions came down, and it was: "Let's put them under house arrest first."

Xiao Xia couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "This move is too dangerous, I must have gotten some news in advance, so I slipped out." This can be regarded as seizing the opportunity to expose Sun Lu's actions to the people. This King Xing is really a wonderful person, such a scoundrel makes trouble. The people are the most simple and simple, and when he saw that he ran back by himself, and he was the royal family's own person, he couldn't help but blame Sun Lu for being nosy. The emperor's nephew hasn't spoken yet, and you, an outsider, dare to come out and arrest the dragon son and grandson? I'm afraid that the emperor himself will blame him a little bit in his heart. ”

Sun Lu was also very annoyed, and his subordinates went through a sieve, and carefully checked it, but they didn't find out who reported it.

However, the prince wrote a book to explain why he was not in the mansion: "I dreamed back at midnight and saw the emperor crying bitterly. I don't know what the emperor was worried about in his heart, so he was so sad, so he took his wife to the temple in the middle of the night to protect the country and ask the abbot for guidance. ”

When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but blush and be ashamed, although he did not withdraw the order to withdraw the house arrest, but he did not convict and issue a sentence.

A few days later, the sixth brother took Lan Shizi back to Xia's house. Ruhai first entertained the Lan Shizi and his guards to rest first, and then led the sixth brother to the newly bought Zhuangzi.

Xia Pozi held the hand of the old Xia Pozi and sat in the main hall waiting for the sixth brother, the old lady was anxious and wanted to rush outside several times to see. The panicked little Xia took her arm and persuaded: "The sixth brother was originally doing the work of licking blood on the knife, and you welcome him out like this, isn't it a sacrifice for his birthday? ”

As she was talking, there was a commotion outside, and Mrs. Xia couldn't hold back any longer, shook her daughter-in-law's hand and walked out. At this time, the seventh brother, the eighth brother, such as the sea, such as the mountain, like the horse, Ruhao surrounded the sixth brother and came in. As soon as he saw his grandmother, the sixth brother couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself over and knelt on the ground, whimpering and crying.

Mrs. Xiao Xia stood aside, gritting her teeth, and it took her a long time to get through the strength before she could persuade her mother-in-law: "Mother, you sit first." The sixth brother has been dusty all the way, let him get up. If there is anything to say, let's talk slowly. ”

So, everyone sat down. The sixth brother stood up again and saluted his brother, sister-in-law, and younger brothers, thanking them for their filial piety. And his nephews and nieces came and saluted him. After more than a year of walking, several more children have been added to the family. The third brother added Ruyao to his family, the fourth brother added Ruhong to his family, and the fifth brother added Rutao to his family. Xiaoyu also came over to greet the sixth brother.

Everyone looked at each other, and the sister-in-law said quickly: "Yanshou has been out to do things for more than a year, and people have become more and more capable." ”

The third sister-in-law continued: "No, people have also grown tall and strong." ”

The fifth sister-in-law also quipped: "That's it, if you meet it on the road, you think it's an official from somewhere." ”

Old Xia Pozi wiped her tears and said, "Why is it so dark." "The sixth brother originally looked like a white-faced scholar, but at this time his face was black and red. The action room is clean and neat, and there is still a shadow of the former Sven.

After talking and laughing for a while, it was almost time to start eating. The sixth brother went to wash up first, and then came back to eat with everyone. At this time, the Xia family had a large population, and when the whole family ate together, most of the men had one table, and the women had another table.

The sixth brother made an exception and sat next to Xia Xiucai, only followed Xia Xiucai with a polite word, and then shook off his cheeks and gobbled it up. After eating, he didn't need a few sisters-in-law to help him serve the meal. I went over by myself, put a big bowl of Maojian in three times and two times, sat there in the wind and clouds, and ate it in a moment.

When Mrs. Xia saw it, she was distressed and couldn't do anything, so she hurriedly asked her sister-in-law to stop him: "You have to chew and swallow slowly when you eat, it will hurt your stomach like this." ”

Only then did the sixth brother realize that the others hadn't eaten much, and they were all dumbfounded and looking at him. Inevitably, I was a little surprised, slowed down and ate a few bites, and before I knew it, I was fast again. When he finished eating, he sat there with his back straight.

Xiao Xia Pozi looked at it and secretly thought that this must be the rule in the barracks, and she couldn't help but feel sour.

The sixth brother's marriage was scheduled for the third day, and it was also for the sake of the prince to watch the ceremony, so he left for the northwest early.

For a while, everyone was busy preparing wedding clothes, and the sixth brother was much taller than when he left, almost the same as the second brother, and he was much thicker. When the fifth sister-in-law asked someone to make clothes, she kept a lot of them, and it took another day to change them before they fitted.

Xiao Xia's wife had no choice but to call him elsewhere and asked about the king.

The sixth brother was sad when he heard this, and he didn't have the joy of hunting in the family letter. said in a deep voice: "It's really a human tragedy. The fourth son of the acting king was only eight or nine years old, and he didn't know which person around him was coaxed. even denounced the king, saying that there were prohibited items at home, and intended to rebel. ”

When the princess heard this, she fainted. I heard that the son was a concubine, and now he has been demoted to the first rank and attacked the king of the county. This time, he also followed us into Beijing, and looked at a child like a starling. Where would you have thought that such a thing would be done? ”

"The Lan family also suddenly received a secret order, and we didn't know anything in advance, so we ambushed the prince and a few county kings hunting. But they were all caught in an hour. ”

Xiao Xia asked tremblingly, "Is there an injury?" ”

The sixth brother showed a mouthful of white teeth: "How can there be no injuries? As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and showed a knife wound on his arm to Mrs. Xiaoxia.
