69. Chapter 69

In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Jin passed away on the first anniversary, Jiang Jin and other grandchildren were filial piety for a year, and Jiang Yaoguang went to Bezhuang with his brother to welcome his parents home.

After the ceremony of removing the clothes was over, the brothers of Zhenguo Gong took their sons and nephews to the study to tell them, and the female relatives said goodbye in the Yu family's courtyard.

"I'll leave it to my uncle later." Shuyang County Lord Wen Sheng said to Ji's family.

When Jiang Jin's generation leaves, only Zhen Guogong, Qi Guogong and his wife and the eldest girl sisters will be left in the village. The old and the young are young, only the Ji family is young, and the diet and daily life of these people have to be handed over to her.

Ji said with a smile, "The county lord is serious, there are a group of servants, and I am just a matter of talking about it." Glancing at the eldest girl again, "Guo Jia'er is clever, she has been assisting you, and with her, I don't need my heart." ”

Jiang Yaoguang's heart moved, and she glanced at the second girl. I don't know if the blow was too heavy this year or because of following Yu's chanting, the temperament of the second girl was a lot calmer, maybe both.

This time, Xiao Qi frequently showed goodwill, he did it very implicitly, that is, to send some gadgets and snacks to the eldest princess's mansion, she and Zheng Yu had a share, and occasionally went to the mansion to ask the eldest princess of Langya to say goodbye, and he didn't approach it too deliberately, but it was also deliberate. Jiang Yaoguang is not a real child, after a few times, where can I feel anything unusual, and I know that people are not looking at her, but her father! She still has this self-knowledge.

Thinking of Xiao Qi and the second girl's hazy good feelings, and then looking at his current words and deeds. Jiang Yaoguang had to sigh that he grew up in the palace after all.

If Xiao Qi wanted to use the power behind her, he still missed the second girl, thinking about taking a concubine or something, and his despicable character could be seen.

If Xiao Qi let go of the second girl, from a certain point of view, he might be a qualified heir. Since ancient times, children have been in love with the elderly, and there are many heroes and shortness of breath.

But no matter what kind of idea Xiao Qi has, she doesn't think it will be a good match for the second girl.

The second girl raised her eyes consciously and met Jiang Yaoguang's gaze.

Jiang Yaoguang was slightly stunned, and immediately bent the corners of his mouth.

The second girl also smiled, and immediately lowered her eyes to stare at the embroidery on her blouse. Her mother died, and even her grandmother 'died of illness', she knew that Jiang Yaoguang was no wonder, but it was her closest relatives who died.

Jiang Yaoguang also retracted his gaze, after all, it was different, and it was good to respect each other like a guest.

After talking for a while, the hour was almost up, and the lord of Shuyang resigned.

The calm-eyed Yu said to the lord of Shuyang County, "The affairs of the house are up to you." ”

The county lord of Shuyang quietly glanced at the eldest girl and the second girl, "Mother rest assured!" "Yu had told her before that she would help Jiang Anhe look at his stepfamily, and it would be best to have a happy event if she was filial.

In this regard, the county lord of Shuyang responded very happily, not to mention that she is the eldest sister-in-law, and Jiang Anhe is still a senior sister and brother. In order not to get involved in the marriage of the eldest girl and sisters, she also had to give everything to Jiang An and continue the string. Yu is now fasting and reciting Buddha, and seems to have made up his mind to be an outsider, if the sisters have no mother, the marriage will still fall on the shoulders of her aunt. One bad thing is that she retaliates.

With that, the group left.

Back at the Zhenguo Mansion, there was another disturbance, Jiang Yaoguang returned to his courtyard and felt that his heart had finally settled down. Without any image, he threw himself on the bed and rolled his hair into a bird's nest. The eldest princess of Langya naturally takes care of her, but after all, she feels more secure in her own home and by her parents' side.

Especially Xiao Qi has bad intentions, in the dream she married Xiao Bai, and it was Xiao Bai who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, but if she was replaced by Xiao Qi, she felt that she had no sense of disobedience. Anyway, marrying into the royal family is a bad idea with a capital letter!

Fortunately, the eldest princess of Langya saw a little sign and thought that she would find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Jin and the lord of Shuyang. They should have a way to break Xiao Qi's thoughts.

Hey! Jiang Yaoguang suddenly froze. Her parents won't give her a baby kiss.

Jiang Jin and the county lord of Shuyang really wanted to kiss Jiang Yaoguang for the baby, Xiao Qi showed goodwill, Princess Taiping hinted that the emperor was noncommittal, and what Princess Langya revealed was enough for the couple to be shocked.

They never expected their daughter to be rich and rich, they hoped that she would be safe and happy, especially when Jiang Yaoguang had such a terrifying dream. For marrying the royal family, the two were worried in their hearts, afraid that their nightmare would come true. Even if that person is Xiao Bai and not Xiao Qi, who can guarantee that Xiao Qi will not cross the river and tear down the bridge!

The Jiang clan was promoted by virtue of military merits, with a solid foundation, a good momentum at the moment, and the children were successful, so there was no need to take risks and take shortcuts.

The county lord of Shuyang frowned lightly, "It's better to make an appointment earlier, so as to save that thought, if the order is really made, can we still resist the decree?" "The emperor didn't say anything about the eldest princess of Langya, but not refusing is a dangerous signal, Xiao Qi and Princess Taiping are her favorite grandsons and daughters, and they may agree one day. He muttered softly, "There are so many famous ladies in the capital, why did they choose to live forever, and their age is not right." ”

Jiang Jin frowned, the emperor didn't like the old clan, the Jiang family was a new upstart, and he still belonged to the top-notch group, and he had always been loyal to the royal family. The lord of Shuyang is a daughter of the clan, and the relationship with the clan has always been good. It's not surprising that my daughter was picked!

He came out of filial piety on the front foot, and the resignation of the officials on the back foot came down and was promoted to a level, you must know that he had just been promoted before the filial piety. If the emperor compensated in disguise because of his father-in-law's affairs, he was afraid that he would have another deep meaning.

"At this time, you and I will pay attention to the suitable." Jiang Jin was a little reluctant, and after speaking, his cheeks twitched and muttered, "I don't know which bastard is cheaper!" ”

Seeing his sour appearance, the sorrow of the county lord of Shuyang lightened a little.

But he said, There is another sour one.

Jiang Jin and the county lord of Shuyang were vague and couldn't hide it from those who had a heart, and Xiao Jing also got the news.

He slowly moved the paper to the candle flame, and the tongue of fire instantly jumped up, wrapping the thin paper, Xiao Jing pinched a corner as if he didn't feel pain, and didn't let go until the flame was extinguished, shook it slightly, turned into ashes, and fell all over the bookcase.

Looking at the dancing candle flame, Xiao Jing's dark eyes did not see any light. Hur, he smiled. Suffering from gains and losses, he is frightened, in the final analysis, he is just too incompetent. If he is in power, Hugh said that if he just looks at each other, he will be able to get it back if he marries.

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Shizi, the prince is almost here." ”

Xiao Jing closed his eyes, took away the violence in his eyes, got up and walked out, and greeted the prince in the courtyard.

When the prince saw him, he looked at his left hand for the first time, his face was full of concern, "How is your injury, does your hand still hurt?" "This trip to Yangzhou, they have gained a lot, collected evidence of collusion between several major salt merchants and officials, not only cleaned up the scum of the imperial court but also copied millions of stolen money from several corrupt officials' mansions.

It was also because of this that the officials and businessmen were forced to take risks, and they even wanted to assassinate the prince and snatch the account book. Thanks to Xiao Jing blocking a sword for him, otherwise the crown prince would have broken a hole in the assassin's chest. Thinking about it now, the prince still has palpitations, and his gaze at Xiao Jing is even gentler.

"Thank you for your concern, it's no big deal!" Xiao Jing said.

The prince said, "How many times have I talked to you, and I just called my uncle in private." ”

Xiao Jing didn't speak.

The prince didn't take him seriously, he didn't feel that Xiao Jing was disrespectful, but felt that this child was honest and steady. If it weren't for Xiao Jing's reminder this trip, how many mistakes he would have made, thinking about the emperor's face, the prince subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time he was even more grateful to Xiao Jing.

At first, he was suspicious of his nephew, after all, Xiao Jing was only fourteen, and then gradually found that his words were simply word-for-word, and the prince trusted this nephew who was not as good as the weak crown very much, and almost obeyed his words.

The prince said, "If you are fine, we will go back to Beijing to resume our lives." ”

Xiao Jing said yes. He asked to accompany him, first, to add capital to his own entry into the court; the second is to show grace to those people he likes and build a future team; The third reason is that the local officials not only colluded with the salt merchants to make huge profits, but also reached out to the money allocated every year for the construction of embankments and flood control. At this time in the previous life, the emperor was already dying, and the prince naturally would not go to Yangzhou, so that the officials and businessmen here could get away with it. As a result, four years later, a flood that was rare in a century wiped out fertile villages on both sides of the river, killing and injuring countless people.

Xiao Bai was a sensation because he came to the disaster relief with the Qin mission, and he won the reputation of the young virtuous king, and then he won over hundreds of officials step by step, and was able to pass smoothly.

Xiao Jing rubbed his palm and blocked Xiao Bai's way, but it was just a symptom but not a cure. Reasoning, if Xiao Qi does not die, Xiao Bai will not have a future, but once Xiao Qi is dead, Xiao Bai is the 'only' choice.

Princess Taiping advocated that the prince should postpone the succession, Princess Rong is Princess Taiping's cousin, she has always been indifferent to Xiao Bai, and naturally wants to wait for Princess Rong to give birth to a son, but unfortunately King Rong did not give birth to a son until he died.

He used not to think about it, he was too lazy to think about it, but now that he thinks about it, Xiao Bai is really a good means!

Perhaps, the plan should be changed.

In August, the crown prince returned with honor, although he knew that this 'reputation' was quite watery, but the emperor's requirements for his son fell again and again, and he could use people and would use people.

The emperor rarely praised the crown prince a few words, and at the same time, Xiao Jing also received praise. The emperor's praise for his nephew was much more sincere, and he finally came up with a long-faced one, asked Xiao Jing with a pleasant face, and gave him a heavy reward.

Duanwang almost collapsed his image as warm as jade on the spot, and endured the pain in his heart, liver and lungs. Sticking other people's gold on his face, the prince has such a big face, and the father is so biased!

Back at Duanwang's mansion, Duanwang smashed the study first, crackling and crackling, and the people who were waiting were so frightened that their faces were bloodless and trembling like chaff.

King Duan was so angry that he walked around the house for a while, and his anger subsided a little before he ordered, "Let Li Wen come over." "This is one of his strategists, resourceful.

Let you be proud, I will pick your cheek, see how proud you are. A fleeting viciousness flashed in King Duan's eyes.

A eunuch hurriedly ran away, as if stepping on Hot Wheels.

When a middle-aged man wearing a moon-white scribe's robe slowly entered the house, the rest of the people obediently retreated. The group escaped from the ascension to heaven, looked at each other and showed an expression of crying and laughing after being reborn after the catastrophe.
