"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly one by one. The protector handed over the fold of self-defense, and wrote a large article freely, but it was the misfortune of the family, and the son actually rebelled behind his family's back, and only blindly said that he didn't know about it. He also invited the patriarch to come forward and open the ancestral hall and expel General Xue from the Xue clan. ”

"Ah, Xue, Brother Xue has been expelled?" Xiaoyu stared at her with big eyes: "This, isn't it crazy, even our boudoir daughters know that the general trend of the Southern Dynasty has gone." It's only a year, maybe it won't take a year, King Yi captured the Jingshi, at that time, Brother Xue was from the dragon's work, how will they deal with themselves then?" Xiao Yu thought to herself: "When Xue Yu came to King Yi, it was not the meaning of the family, and it was just an abacus of stepping on two boats. Why did something happen now, and he threw Brother Xue out like this. After a turn of thought, he asked: "King Yi is now in power, but they don't dare to appease Brother Xue secretly, but I don't know." ”

The twelfth aunt took a sip of tea and said, "A few days ago, the fourth son of the protector of the country and the little lady of the Han family made a family affair. ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned: "This doesn't seem to be appeased, but like an abandoned child." ”

The twelfth aunt thought about what she told the Xia family, how similar it was, and couldn't help but sigh: "Besides, how can there be a reason to drag down a clan for a son, that is, when you come to King Yi in the future, this matter is also reasonable." If the old man can live until King Yi enters Beijing, General Xue may be able to get the position of the prince back, otherwise... The fourth prince has become the prince of the country, who can still force him to take it down?"

Xiaoyu stammered, "This... How fast, world... Have you changed?"

The twelfth aunt nodded: "Naturally, it is also for the sake of An Yi's holy heart, no, Mrs. Xue also specially sent someone to return the relatives of the Zuo family." ”

Xiaoyu sighed: "Why is this family affair actually retired from the Xue family?"

The Twelfth Aunt shook her head, not knowing whether she was saying that this thing was inappropriate. Or is it unbelievable: "Yes, the matter of withdrawing from the family was very hurtful to the reputation of the woman." How else to say that Zuo Sanniang's life is good! I have been married since I was a child, unlike us... A few days after the front foot of the front foot here, the matchmaker of the Han side concubine came to the door. ”

Xiaoyu thought in her heart: "These two sons really like Sanniang, and they did this thing seamlessly, which made it a matter and the reputation of the two of them." I don't care about what the twelfth aunt blurted out. smiled bitterly: "Sure enough." People say that you should be strong for your mother, but if you are not strong as a mother, you will let go. Look at the proper arrangement at that time... Alas, speaking of which, it's not because of Xue... Wait, you haven't said how Vice General Xue became a general again. ”

"Vice General Xue has refused to go to the south to fight with the imperial court. Speaking of which, I was afraid that my father and the people in the capital would be implicated. He was only in charge of the military quartermaster in the back, and now he has been expelled from his home. I don't have any scruples. I heard that he has taken the iron-clad guard to the three cities in a row, and now he is a general of Xinwu, and his rank in the army is slightly higher than Zhou Yun. ”

Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked, "What about Zuo Erniang?" I have never heard of sisters marrying into a family, even if they are willing. I'm afraid that the princess may not be willing. ”

The Twelfth Aunt shook her head and laughed: "I heard that the sisters have stopped talking. The princess's mother's family, the little lady of the Lang family is also in Yanbei now, and the Lantern Festival was held a few days ago. I saw that they had gone in and out with some of the county lords, but they had not lived in the city. The previous child went out to drink full moon wine, and Mrs. Feng said that they were all in the princess's village now. I can barely talk to General Zuo's family, but with the palace... My father's grade was too low. It's just a pity that the second lady on the left is a pity, she is already a little old. ”

Xiaoyu nodded and thought secretly: "She was originally the ambition of the concubine, and she has such a good look, but I am afraid that ordinary people will also think that her vision is too high and she is not willing to marry." ”

The twelfth aunt said again: "Speaking of which, when you are not there, there is still a happy event. The princess's birthday, the third son of King Xing also came. Prince Yi liked it very much at first sight, and personally protected the matchmaker, and set the seven ladies of the Confucian Yun family in the south. ”

Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses: "Isn't the third son of the Xingwang family Zhou Li is the most honest, and he was a little arrogant and stubborn when he was a child, but he has slowly changed in the past few years, and he is even more innocent to me." I originally thought that the world would be decided in three or five years, when the seventh and fifth brothers had taken the meritorious examination, and the sixth brother's military exploits, my family background could barely match him. At that time, if his family sent someone to come, my mother would naturally respond, why did he even say that he would be married, and this King Yi had too many things. ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. chatted with the twelfth aunt again, and then said goodbye and went home. I was not in a hurry to go back to my room, sitting in the study and thinking secretly: "I have opened so many restaurants, and there are so many guests coming and going from the south to the north, if I want to know something, I have to go to my future nephew and daughter-in-law to inquire, alas, I always have to think of a good way, and I can't go to the restaurant every day to listen to other people's gossip?"

While thinking, he took a pen and paper and wanted to write a letter to Xue Yu to comfort him, but he held the pen for a long time: "Such an unlucky thing, I still pretend not to know." As for Zhou Li, Xiaoyu thought about it and only sighed: "Maybe we don't have a chance, I'll find a rare thing to give him when I go back." Then he turned his head and wondered how to gather information everywhere.

Lin Zi saw her come back from Zhang's house, so he muttered to himself for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he said, "If the girl has any troubles, why don't you discuss it with your wife." ”

Xiaoyu then remembered to go to find Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia was sitting under the gourd rack in the side courtyard and discussing with Xia Xiucai about running a school, and after hearing Xiaoyu's causes and consequences, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Jiu'er, it's not unusual for such a thing to come back every three or five years." Speaking of which, the Twelfth Aunt is still a little knowledgeable, but Mrs. Zuo is in the bureau and doesn't know it. ”

"General Huwei has long had a reputation for being brave and good at fighting, and there is no shortage of people in the army who support him, but he sees that the world is about to be peaceful, but I am afraid that it will be the world of civil officials again. However, this matter is not difficult to do! Concubine Han Fang gave her son two more young ladies from civil official families, which is better than a single one. If it is used well, two side concubines, arching a concubine, and standing on three legs, this Huwei general may not be able to win the world. As for the princess, if you want to win over the generals, the first choice is naturally the Lang family, and it will not be the turn of the Zuo family in any case. ”

Xiaoyu suddenly said: "No wonder the twelfth aunt later mentioned the little lady of the Lang family." The prince guards Yanbei, and the civil officials have no choice but to associate with him regardless of whether they support him or not. His father-in-law's family is also a famous house in the south of the Yangtze River, but he owes some in the army. I just don't know if the Lang family is seeking stability and has chosen Zhou Zhen's position as the princess, or is it still going to gamble on the side concubine of the prince?"

Speaking of Xue Yu and Zhou Li, the mother and daughter wanted to be together, and Mrs. Xia couldn't help but sigh a few times pitifully, but it was a pity.

Not long after Xiaoyu's birthday, the sixth grandmother came with the good news that she was pregnant. Because the six grandmothers and the six masters get together less and leave more, the other brothers all have children, even if there are few, there are three or four children. The couple has been married for many years but only has a daughter from Ling'er, so they can't help but feel a little anxious.

Xiaoyu got the letter, so she discussed with her mother: "My sister-in-law said that the fetus was not good, so I didn't dare to move around. However, the border goods are very poor, and I am afraid that there is no competent midwife there. Why don't we find a stable woman here, I'll bring a few people to send it over, and I can accompany her when the time comes. ”

Mrs. Xia hesitated a little when she thought that she was acting more and more prudently. I want to ask my starling brother to accompany me, but I am afraid that I will delay too much homework, so I don't feel at ease when I ask Xiaoyu to go out alone. I discussed with Xia Xiucai that it would be better to go to the sixth master to have a look, and I was collecting my luggage, and the fifth grandmother also had news that she was pregnant and wanted to go back to Yanbei to have a baby. Mrs. Xia was lacking in skills for a while, but Xia Er's grandmother's delivery was approaching, and Xia Erye was inconvenient to escort Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu looked at Mrs. Xia and looked at the letter from the fifth grandmother, and comforted: "Mother don't worry, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I am not a little girl who has never seen the world." ”

Mrs. Xia was amused by her: "I'm not worried about you, it's really not good, just ask your sister Zhong to accompany you on the road with a few more guards." What's wrong with this letter?"

Xiaoyu took the letter, frowned and read it carefully: "What's wrong with this, Wuchang County is not a rich place." My sister-in-law wants to go back to Yanbei to have a baby, and my mother is more worried. ”

"Worry-free?" Mrs. Xia pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a mocking smile: "Jiu'er, people can't worry about life and don't dare to worry about it." You have saved your worries for a while, and in the future, maybe some anxious things will be made up for you. After that, he looked down at the letter again, and muttered: "Your fifth sister-in-law is the most capable of my daughters-in-law, and when she gave birth to her first child, she didn't ask me to accompany her, this is wrong." ”

Mrs. Xia discussed with Xia Xiucai for one night, and she didn't write a letter, so she brought a light rain the next day, and starling and a few guards went to Wuchang County.

The county government of Wuchang County is located in the south of the city, and it looks like it has only been built for three or four years, and the newly painted black gate. When they arrived, it was still early, the door of the county government was open, and at a glance, they could see the four big characters of "Mirror Hanging" in the middle hall. Although the few officials at the gate and in the courtyard did not stand up straight, they were also in good spirits, and they immediately became alert when they saw their carriages and horses slowly approaching. Mrs. Xia saw it outside and nodded with satisfaction.

The carriage and horse went around to the back door, the eighth master got off the horse and knocked on the door, and only after a while did a mother-in-law open the door, and when she saw that the person who came did not know, she smiled and said: "Little brother, what is the matter with you, if you complain, you have to go forward." ”

The eighth master smiled: "It's not a complaint." My surname is Xia, and I am the younger brother of the county lord here. Is my sister-in-law at home?"

The woman couldn't help but glance at him quickly, then looked at the carriage behind her, and then smiled: "It turned out to be the master's brother, please come in." As he spoke, he called a little girl to remove the threshold, let the carriage in, and sent the little girl inside to report to the fifth grandmother. When Xiaoyu got out of the car, the mother-in-law saw that she behaved like the county master, and the smile on her face became sincere. (To be continued) R580
