179 The Three Churches will judge Prince Rui
Xiao Yuheng couldn't hide it for long no matter how much he concealed it, Before the palace test ended, it spread all over the capital, and the Yongning Marquis Mansion was naturally no exception, not to mention that there were three officials in the court, and Xiao Yunxuan, as the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, made the news more well-informed
Although he is Zhao Jingyi's elder, the martial artist has always admired this former generalissimo of the northwest, and he was also a marshal of the northwest before he was appointed as a commander, and he was even more grateful to Zhao Jingyi.
However, such a person is ambiguous with his beloved nephew, and when he heard it, it really made him shocked and angry, and he went to the market to listen to those jokes, and his remarks were filthy and obscene, which made Xiao Yunxuan eager to arrest all the people who talked about it and hang him.
He didn't care about the affairs in the yamen, so he went back to the house directly, and when he walked to the gate, he saw Xiao Yuheng also coming back.
"Fourth uncle. Xiao Yuheng looked at him with a gloomy look, and he also knew everything about Lin Xi.
He was about to say something, but saw the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion rushing over, followed by Ren's mother and some maids.
"Fourth master, eldest young master, it just so happens that the old slave is about to look for you, Mrs. Tai heard some bad rumors and became angry. โ
Don't think that those rumors must be about Lin Xi.
The uncle and nephew glanced at each other, saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes, and then walked towards Chongjin Hall.
A little girl poked her head behind the wall under the porch, and then turned and ran away very quickly.
"Third aunt and grandmother. โ
At this time, Xiao Jinxin's belly was not small, she took a nap, walked around for a while, then leaned on the couch to rest, heard the movement outside, her eyes suddenly moved, and she got up.
"What's the matter, panic. She asked, pretending to be calm.
The maid said softly: "The fourth master and the eldest young master are back, and they happened to meet Ren's mother, and they are all going to the old lady at this time, their faces are not good-looking, I am afraid that something has happened." โ
It seems that he knows everything, Xiao Jinxin's eyes flashed with joy, lowered his eyes and covered them again, raised his head and said with a touch of doubt: "I don't know if it matters, I hope there is nothing to do." โ
As she was talking, Mother Lu opened the curtain and came in, carrying a food basket in her hand, "The slave saw that the soup was warm in the kitchen, and thought that the third aunt and grandmother should wake up at this time, so she brought it over." โ
"Let the little girl do it, how can I bother my mother to send it herself. Xiao Jinxin took it and drank it slowly.
She scooped a few mouthfuls, looked up at Lu's mother, and asked, "What's wrong with Mom, her face is so solemn, but what happened in the house?"
Speaking of this, Lu's mother's expression sank even more.
Lin Xi's scandal has spread all over the capital, and even the inner house of the Yongning Hou Mansion has heard something about it, and the entire Hou Mansion has been alarmed.
Thinking of Liu's gloomy, angry and embarrassed face, Lu's mother didn't know how to speak.
Xiao Jinxin wanted to marry Zhao Jingyi regardless of her face, but Rui Wangfu didn't even think about it, and directly rejected the Yongning Marquis Mansion, which has become a laughing stock in the capital. But now it's good, don't be a serious lady, Zhao Jingyi directly asked for the young master of the Hou Mansion!
When Lin Xi first came, he fell down as soon as the weak wind blew, and the food and clothing were all fine in the Yongning Hou Mansion, protected by the old lady, and watched by the fourth master of the Hou Ye, from the lady and the young master to the maid who dared to slack off, even the eldest young master had never had this treatment, but he didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf.
Mother Lu looked at Xiao Jinxin at this time, and her heart hurt.
"Mom?"
Xiao Jinxin asked again.
Lu's mother came back to her senses and said with a forced smile: "The third aunt and grandmother can raise the baby with peace of mind, and in the future, the man will return to the Gongfu in one fell swoop, there is some chaos in the Hou Mansion, but it is not good to move around, there is the fourth master of the Hou, no matter how bad it is, there is the eldest young master, nothing can happen, don't ask." โ
As he spoke, he patted her hand and went out.
Xiao Jinxin slowly put away her smile, looked at Lu's mother's back, and slowly showed a smile.
She's not having a good time, Lin Xi, don't be happy with you.
"Mother is satisfied now? But thanks to my good nephew, Miss Yan of the Hou Mansion can't continue the in-laws of the Rui Wangfu, he is a cousin and comes forward directly, with a generation, it is really touching, I really don't hurt him in vain as an uncle, the Yongning Hou Mansion is very famous in this capital!"
Liu's eyes were bloodshot, his face was sneering, and he said loudly in Chongjin Hall.
Mrs. Tai shrugged her eyelids, lowered her eyes full of tiredness and dazedness, and sat on the chair like a statue, letting the Liu family hustle and bustle.
Shan was surprised, and she was a little overwhelmed by this rumor, she really couldn't believe it was true. Just listening to my sister-in-law talking to Mrs. Tai like this, but I didn't see Mrs. Tai refute and reprimand, I believed a little in my heart, and I couldn't help but be disappointed in Lin Xi.
It's just that she can understand Liu's anger, but after listening to a few words, she doesn't agree with yelling at the old lady like this, so she said: "Sister-in-law rest first, it's not clear what this matter is, maybe it's a misunderstanding, it's better to wait for the eldest brother and the fourth master to come back and make a decision." Lin Xi is already a jinshi, and he still has to take the top prize, how can he act like this?"
"Hehe, champion? Everyone who took the exam was waiting to protest at the palace gate, how could he still be admitted? The emperor was already a grace not to punish him! How smart I am, I am sure to pass this exam, but it is an unsightly deed. I think I was grateful to him for saving Rong'er and taking care of him at the beginning, it is not easy for him to be a lone man, but I didn't expect that with this idea, it is really a good means, a good measure, and the prince will be fascinated, which is enough to be shameless! Xin'er was born in a scholarly family, how can she be so shameless? When Xin'er told the truth, you still treat her as open-mouthed and indiscriminately climbing and biting, how can you see it? Who is pretending to be high, thinking about it like this, if it weren't for him, Xin'er is afraid that she is already Princess Rui now......
The more Liu spoke, the more excited he became, and he immediately cried, "We brought a white-eyed wolf in!"
"Enough!"
I only heard a loud slap on the table, and then there was a crackling, and everyone looked up suddenly, but saw the Buddha beads scattered all over the place, and the old lady tore off the bracelet she often wore on her wrist.
"Mother!"
Shan exclaimed in surprise, saw that the old lady turned white, gritted her teeth, and slowly raised her head and said, "Go, let Lin Xi come to see me, if he doesn't come, he will never set foot in the Yongning Marquis Mansion." โ
When Xiao Yunxuan and Xiao Yuheng walked into Chongjin Hall, they heard the words that seemed to pop out of their teeth stiffly, and they relaxed their steps for a while and held their breath.
"Don't go yet!" ordered Mrs. Tai.
"I'll go. Xiao Yuheng looked at the old lady's appearance, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, so he automatically asked for help, thinking of saying hello to Lin Xi in advance, so he turned around and left, and it was too late for Liu to stop him.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw from a distance that the Marquis of Yongning was accompanying a person.
That person, his straight back was still like a โกโก, still moving like the wind, unstoppable, and before he could reach his eyes, he had already felt the cold and sharp momentum, like a sword.
And Yongning Hou tried to follow in his footsteps, but he seemed stumbling and helpless.
Finally, Zhao Jingyi stood in front of Xiao Yuheng, condescending, although the latter tried his best to remain calm and serious, and did not raise his hand to salute, but after all, he softened a little under his momentum.
Before he could speak, he heard the low, unmistakable voice.
Zhao Jingyi visited the old lady and sighed. โ
Xiao Yuheng was stunned for a few breaths, he couldn't believe his ears, even though Zhao Jingyi's voice was still tough, but he separated a trace of pleading and soft.
This is his high-spirited, invincible brother-in-law?
Yongning Hou coughed lightly and reminded Xiao Yuheng, he came back to his senses, and suddenly mustered up the courage to ask, "The prince is here for Lin Xi?"
"Yes. โ
"Can the prince be interested in Lin Xi?"
Zhao Jingyi glanced at him, and still spit out one word, "Yes." โ
Xiao Yuheng suddenly froze, "Have you ever heard of rumors......
"I've heard, if there's anything else you want to ask, let's ask later. โ
Xiao Yuheng turned around and went inside to report.
After a while, Liu and Shan walked out with the maid, Shan just glanced at it and left, while Liu saw that Zhao Jingyi's face was black and white, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but the latter didn't look at her at all.
Liu was disappointed and angry, and left indignantly.
The old lady didn't get up to greet her, and even Xiao Yunxuan didn't come out.
"Lord Wang, please. Xiao Yuheng didn't say much, Zhao Jingyi didn't change his face and walked in.
Mrs. Tai sat in front of the hall, and Xiao Yunxuan sat on her right hand, and when she saw Zhao Jingyi, he seemed to move his legs, but finally did not get up.
"Master Hou also sit down. Mrs. Tai raised her eyelids and said lightly.
Yongning Hou was a little hesitant for a moment, he had always been cautious or indecisive, and when Zhao Jingyi was not even seated, he really didn't have the courage to sit down.
However, Zhao Jingyi suddenly turned his face sideways and bowed slightly.
So in the middle of the anxiety, the Marquis of Yongning sat down on the left hand side of Mrs. Tai, and Xiao Yuheng stood behind him.
Sitting down this time, Zhao Jingyi suddenly stood in front of the hall as if facing the trial of the three divisions.
A strange appearance arose spontaneously in the scene, and Mrs. Tai looked at Zhao Jingyi's unchanged expression, and somehow a stone suddenly fell in her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Wang, please be seated. โ
She gestured to the chair at the end.
Zhao Jingyi had no objection, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat down very simply.
Look at the seats in this house are not according to the power of the officials, but according to the seniority, and the people present are all sophisticated, and the key point is to understand.
Xiao Yuheng looked at Zhao Jingyi with a complicated expression, and he couldn't help but think of his eldest sister, even if it was the first time to be a son-in-law seriously, he had never seen Zhao Jingyi accompany him to the last seat.
His cousin's weight in the heart of this prince is not low, not just as simple as flattering and spoiling.
After everyone sat down, Mrs. Tai calmed her face, shrugged the nasolabial folds on the side of her mouth, and did not say a word, and her attitude towards this uninvited guest could be seen cold.
She didn't speak, and the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to speak.
Zhao Jingyi sat calmly, even if the master's family didn't even have a cup of tea, he was still full of style, and his momentum should not be underestimated, but he suddenly glanced at Xiao Yunxuan opposite in this quiet and weird atmosphere.
This glance suddenly made Xiao Yunxuan frown, he struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally felt that it was better not to tear his face, so he reluctantly handed a step out, and asked lukewarmly: "What is the so-called reason why the prince came here today?"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Tai's stern eye knife flew over, and Xiao Yunxuan turned his face away uncomfortably and coughed lightly.
Zhao Jingyi's hand gently rested on the armchair and said, "This king has been thinking about it for many days, and finally figured out one thing, which is to rush into the palace three days ago to ask the emperor for advice. โ
Speaking of this, his gaze seemed to rise as if unintentionally, and he stopped on the face of the Marquis of Yongning, and then turned his gaze and said, "I don't know if you have heard that the emperor intends to marry the lord of Jing'an County to the current branch champion?"
Mrs. Tai's eyes moved slightly, and finally she looked over. She had vaguely heard this news, and she didn't dare to think about it before, but after Lin Xi took the Huiyuan exam, she was moved.
Zhao Jingyi pointed his finger on the armchair and said casually: "It's a pity that this king has begged the emperor to dispel this idea." โ
Mrs. Tai subconsciously moved the beads on her wrist, but the beads had broken the thread and fell all over the ground, so she had to clench her fists.
"This king has lived for nearly thirty years, but he has always been ignorant of this emotional matter. The corners of Zhao Jingyi's mouth raised slightly, with a touch of deep meaning in his eyes, "But I don't know why the affair with Lin Xi spread all over the capital overnight, if it was the king in the past, he would have been angry, but thanks to these gossips, he actually saw his mind clearly, what does it matter to men and women, this king likes it, then he can't let go." โ
Xiao Yuheng clenched his fists, his face couldn't suppress the anger, just as Zhao Jingyi said, his trip to the palace broke Lin Xi's normal life in the future. originally thought that it was really as the outside world said, Lin Xi was too close to Zhao Jingyi, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Jingyi who was really ambitious.
I really want to beat him up! He was quite irritable inside.
These fearless and tough words everywhere made the hearts of the people present churn, but Yongning Hou, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "The prince has a heart, and the lower officials only feel that the will of heaven makes people, but Lin Xi can't accept it, and the human ethics can't be chaotic, he still has a long way to go in the future, if the prince is really ...... If you like him, let him go. โ
In exchange, all that was exchanged was a low laugh from Zhao Jingyi.
At this moment, Xiao Yunxuan couldn't sit still, even if Lin Xi was not surnamed Xiao, he was also the nephew of his sister-in-law, his sister's only seedling, and the other party couldn't be bullied no matter how powerful he was!
He sat up straight and said firmly: "Lord Wang, the Xiao family is also a century-old mansion, although the status is not as noble as yours, but you can't do whatever you want." โ
"Oh, is it?" Zhao Jingyi was not moved at all, but the corners of his mouth raised a touch of ridicule, and his eyes looked at Mrs. Tai, who was still silent, "Don't worry, this king hasn't finished talking yet." Since this king is interested in Lin Xi, he naturally wants to think more about him, so he asked people to check the source of this rumor, where do you think this source came from?"
Zhao Jingyi and Lin Xi had a legitimate reason for getting closer, and there was no etiquette outside, even the people in the Hou Mansion didn't notice it, how could outsiders think of this?
Looking at Zhao Jingyi's eyes with ridicule in her eyes and coldness at the corners of her mouth, Mrs. Tai suddenly blessed her mind, her heart trembled, and her hands trembled.
Zhao Jingyi didn't miss the slightest change in Mrs. Tai's expression, so she stood up and said loudly but coldly and cruelly: "Old lady, thank you for your aunt and grandmother for this king." โ
Zhao Jingyi's last words made Mrs. Tai close her eyes, and the joints of her clenched fists turned white, which also shocked the men in Xiao Mansion.
How did Zhao Jingyi walk into Chongjin Hall when he came, and he was so calm when he went, and his face was still expressionless and looked high.
"Take the king's name and immediately go and call the imperial doctor. โ
He looked back at Chongjin Hall and commanded beside him.
As soon as this thunder exploded, Mrs. Tai estimated that she would have to slow down for a while, he and Lin Xi had too long to go, if this old lady was angry, their road would come to an end.
As for Xiao Jinxin, since she dared to do it at the beginning, she should have thought of the consequences. 166 Reading Network
