In the fifth year of the same music, the Empress Xià was the first to advocate hot pot at the reunion banquet, and even when the officials and noblewomen entered the palace to receive the banquet, the hot pot was popular in the capital for a while, and Shao Yunhua especially loved it.

Tongle for six years, the country was mourned, the whole family was worried, there were many vacancies in the martial arts, and the Zhongyi Hou walked around many times and finally made an envoy to Shao Sanlangjun to the fifth grade, but he had never made meritorious service, and he could not be crowned a wife, and the Min family was also serious, and there was no half of envy and complaint.

In the seventh year of Tongle, there is a lot of talk in the capital, that is, Shao Yunhua accidentally heard so many ears, it is said that the imperial husband is a chicken who can't crow, she doesn't know what this means, and she has discussed it with Shui Dai in private, but unfortunately Shui Dai rummaged through the books and did not have a clear description, and the two of them could only give up, alas! The two of them didn't see the look of Shui Orange's face that was about to collapse. Otherwise, you'll probably know what that means.

In the eight years of Tongle, the empress's actions became bigger and bigger, that is, Shao Erniang, Shao Sanniang, and even Shui Bi, who only cared about the little lady in the boudoir in the backyard, felt the tension of the situation, and the contradiction between the imperial power and the family became more and more intensified.

Finally on this day, the emperor's thousand-year-old birthday, the Marquis of Zhongyi and so on all entered the Zichen Palace to congratulate, the empress attaches great importance to sisters' feelings, although it is the emperor's birthday, still left the sisters to stay in the imperial city, and even the concubines also contact the royal husband feelings, because of this, the Jiang family is so tied to the eldest princess, not only the eldest princess has this name, but really has the right to speak, the empress treats the sisters all over the world.

After the Marquis of Zhongyi came back, he went directly to Dexi Hall.

"Husband?" Mrs. Zhongyi Hou was a little surprised, the two of them are getting older, in the past, Zhongyi Hou was busy with official affairs (mainly for his children and grandchildren, and he was like this) Mrs. Hou was in charge of the inner house (mainly teaching Shao Yunhua) Except for festival meetings, they hardly usually meet, what's wrong with today?

"Go down, all of you, and keep the door open, and don't move."

"Yes." The servant woman retreated neatly and stayed outside the door, but she didn't dare to leave, she was curious to death, but she didn't even dare to exchange a look, Mrs. Hou had few rules, but she was very strict.

"Madam, something is wrong."

"What's the matter?"

The Marquis of Zhongyi turned back and forth twice, and then he came to Mrs. Zhongyihou and whispered: "I'm afraid that the war is just around the corner, and the capital will not be peaceful!" ”

"It's ......." Mrs. Hou was stunned, the conflict between Her Majesty the Empress and the family as long as the eyes are not blind know that there will be a battle. It's just that I never expected this matter to come so quickly: "How is the husband ready?" ”

"We must have followed the Supreme, and the Supreme knew it in his heart, so he got this letter." Thinking of this, the Marquis of Zhongyi was still a little happy in his heart, and Her Majesty the Empress Xià could think of her own mansion, which means that she had not forgotten the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, which is good.

"That'...... Maintain the Imperial City? Mrs. Hou thought of this.

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Zhongyi was a little discouraged, shook his head and said, "I only ordered me to guard my mansion." ”

Mrs. Hou thought about it, but smiled: "This is the Supreme Giving us a chance." ”

"How?"

"Husband, think about it, how many officials are there in the imperial city? How many are Supreme people? And how many mansions have the ability to protect themselves? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the Marquis of Zhongyi suddenly realized, this is the time when the Supreme has sold a few noble mansions, except for the private soldiers in the Xungui Mansion, there are no officials who have come up for the exam, it is really chaotic, and the servants who have not received special training will definitely not work, and at this time it is a good time for the various noble mansions to help.

"Madame Takami." The Marquis of Zhongyi was particularly pleased. Immediately, the Marquis of Zhongyi turned around twice again and said, "How does Madam think it should be distributed?" ”

Mrs. Hou took a sip of tea and thought for a while: "The husband can take most of the men out to protect the mansion in the west of the city, and the concubines in the mansion will arrange it." ”

Zhongyihou nodded.

"Husband-kun with Shiro-kun."

"Okay." Zhongyi Hou understands in seconds, Shao Shilangjun's own ability is not as good as the three brothers, the son who died in the battle does not need to say, Shao Erlangjun is loyal and safe, Shao Sanlangjun is smart and reliable, but Shao Shilangjun is timid and afraid, and martial arts are also commonplace, but he was affected by his wife again, for so many years, he is still a seven-pin person, or completely marginalized, and now he goes out to brush his face, and his future is always good.

The couple began to deploy manpower, and although the people below were puzzled, they didn't dare to say more.

Soon the champion paraded the streets, but Shao Yunhua, a lively person, was strictly ordered by Mrs. Hou not to go out at home, Shao Yunhua also knew that the situation was tense now, so he stayed at home honestly, and the capital - sure enough, something happened!

Shao Yunhua didn't know how to start, he only knew that something big happened in the capital, his grandfather came down from the Ziji Palace, his face was not good, his grandmother also gave orders one by one, and the servants also did things in a proper manner.

"Yunhua."

"Grandmother." Shao Yunhua's eyes were shining, she felt something, and she wanted to help.

"It's not peaceful in the capital, you take some people and take care of the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion."

"Yes." Shao Yunhua was so excited.

On the first day, the capital was under martial law, and it was forbidden to enter and exit, and the second day it was strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and in the evening, Mrs. Hou called the female dependents to her own yard, especially the little ladies, who were arranged in their own rooms, and then took Shao Yunhua out to arrange.

"Grandmother, I'll go with you." Shao Erniang, who has always been safe, opened her mouth at this time.

"Grandmother, I'll go too." The pampered Shao Sanniang also opened her mouth, the Jiang family almost went crazy, what is the excitement going forward at this time?

Mrs. Hou hesitated.

"Grandmother, let's go together." Shao Yunhua spoke.

"Okay."

"Haruzhi, go and bring my embroidery knife." Shao Erniang uses a knife, which is why she has always been liked by Mrs. Hou.

"Ying'er, bring me my sword." Shao Sanniang was not to be outdone.

The remaining four little ladies (six mothers and seven mothers have been added in recent years, all of whom are Shao Shilangjun's concubines) Siniang and Wuniang wanted to move, but Mrs. Zhongyi Hou spoke first: "Siniang and Wuniang are holding weapons, and you are protecting your sister inside." ”

"Yes." Two people got an errand, and it was smiling.

Mrs. Hou went out with her three granddaughters and began to instruct the servants to make a line of defense, and the first line of defense was to scatter beans around the house.

In ancient times, there was the art of Qimen Dunjia, which is said to be able to call the wind and rain and sprinkle beans into soldiers, but Mrs. Hou will not sprinkle beans into soldiers, but beans do help.

Although the Zhongyi Hou Mansion has not done much over the years, it has been reduced to an empty shelf Hou Mansion (the empty shelf has no real power, and there is no shortage of money) but the Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion in the end, and the courtyard wall is extremely high, so if the offender wants to come in, he must jump in with a ladder, and after jumping in, he will step on the round beans, please imagine the picture. So that's the first line of defense.

The second line of defense was the rope, which changed the tripping horse rope into a tripping man, and finally Mrs. Hou ordered people to fill all the places in the whole mansion, large and small corners, with water.

Shao Sanniang asked, "Grandmother, why is this?" ”

"Fighting us now is immovable, we can't hide, we can only meet the enemy head-on, so what should we do if the other party attacks? So it must be watered. ”

The three granddaughters suddenly realized.

On the night of the third day, someone really came to deal with the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, but it was not a real rebellion, but some people who were fishing in troubled waters planned to grab some benefits.

These people who came to grab the benefits were also unlucky, they slipped when they came in, and they were easily slipped and tripped by the rope, and then those powerful servants stepped forward, and they were tied up with five flowers, and what shocked them the most was that the little lady who had never been in time for the sword was actually holding a sword in her hand, looking majestic, and fell! This is into the monster cave.

"Yunhua, you and Erniang Sanniang go next door."

"Grandmother, Fuchu ......"

"It's okay in the house." Mrs. Hou is very determined.

"Okay."

Shao Yunhua took his two younger sisters and a servant woman with five big and three rough votes and went to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion.
