361: Husband and wife are of the same heart
Xia Ruan knows that today's An family is no longer the An home of the past.
After Concubine An entered the palace, the status of the An family became higher and higher.
It's just that the higher you stand, the more painful it will be to fall.
The An family has been cautious in dealing with people and things over the years, and in many things they are not as ostentatious as other royal relatives.
That is, because of the low-key nature of the An family, Emperor Jianguang had a somewhat good impression of the An family.
Now, Concubine An Guifei is pregnant, and some imperial doctors have privately said that from the perspective of pulse, Concubine An's baby must be a prince.
When Emperor Jianguang heard this, the dragon's heart was happy. Therefore, An Guifei's younger brother An Yingrong Yecheng Mansion Yin was given the position.
Regardless of whether An Guifei can give birth to a prince or not, An Yingrong can serve as the Yin of Yecheng Mansion. This is the honor of the An family, and it is also the trust of Emperor Jianguang to the An family.
Xia Ruan looked at the official document in front of him and pursed his lips tightly, "Master Hou, I can't read the official document of the Criminal Department." ”
Xia Ruan thought about it for a long time, but still said what she thought in her heart. Although she is Xiao Jiu's wife, she is not from the Criminal Department, if outsiders know that Xiao Jiu showed her these important things, then Xiao Jiu's future will be ruined.
"If I say you can see it, you can see it." Xiao Jiu didn't think much about it, and personally opened the official document, "Ah Ruan, you are my wife, and there are only two of us here, you have to believe me." ”
Xiao Jiu's actions made Xia Ruan hesitate a little.
After a while, Xia Ruan raised his head and looked at the handsome man in front of him seriously: "Master Hou, what do you know?" ”
She never told her husband about her deal with An Guifei. So at this time. She felt something in her husband that she hadn't felt before, for example, he trusted her more and was more considerate of her.
In her previous life, she was her husband's life-saving benefactor, and her husband at that time was very polite to her, but he was not as concerned as he is now.
So, she somewhat thinks there is a reason for this.
"Hmm. Probably know a little. Xiao Jiu smiled faintly. A handsome face looked extremely soft, "Ah Ruan, I am fortunate to be able to marry you in my third life." ”
Xiao Jiu said. took the initiative to hold Xia Ruan's hands. Then give a gentle kiss on it.
Xia Ruan looked at Xiao Jiu's expression. Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou......"
Xiao Jiu already knew about her deal with An Guifei, and this matter was obviously not revealed by An Guifei and An Yingrong. But. The fire in Yecheng was investigated by her husband. Therefore, Xia Ruan sometimes thinks that maybe he can't hide it.
Her husband is too perceptive-
Xiao Jiu held Xia Ruan's hand tighter a little tighter, his forehead and Xia Ruan's forehead were pressed together, and with only a slight movement, he could kiss her on the lips. Xiao Jiu's eyes were full of tenderness, and he could drown her almost in the next moment. The reflection in his eyes could only see her alone.
"When did Master Hou start to know?" Xia Ruan pondered this question for a while, and then guessed for a long time, but still didn't guess when her husband knew about it. She was a little puzzled about this.
Xiao Jiuwan smiled: "Since An Yingrong and Cinnabar began to have close contacts. Although An Yingrong is a greedy person, he can sit in the position of Yecheng Mansion Yin, which shows his status in the An family. Old man Ann is a smart man, and he knows where to put those people. Therefore, An Yingrong's abnormality at that time, I paid attention to it. ”
The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth twitched, it turned out that this person had noticed this matter from the beginning.
She also thought that it was only because her husband was in charge of the case that she would pay more attention.
Xia Ruan sighed secretly in her heart, she really didn't think as much as her husband a lot of the time.
"Ah Ruan, whether it's this matter or your concern for Xiaoxi and the fourth sister, I want to thank you." Xiao Jiu said seriously, and his tone was extremely slow, "Thank you." ”
The husband is a person who does not like to thank him, and if he wants to thank someone, he will give him a lot of things. In the past, she saved him, and never received so much gratitude from him, but from him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
He sent too many things, so in her mind, the memory was especially deep.
Xia Ruan lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "Master Hou, I am your wife, these little things are what I should do, why do you want to thank me?" If you tell me this again and again, doesn't it seem to be angry? ”
After Xiao Jiu heard this, he smiled dumbly: "When the sixth prince of Lei came to Beijing to visit, I was somewhat surprised. Nguyen, this time...... I ......"
After Xiao Jiu said half of it, he looked at Xia Ruan's eyes and didn't say that thank you again.
He has a lot of guilt towards Xiao Yixue over the years.
If he was stronger at the beginning, if he was more powerful at the beginning, then Xiao Yixue would not have to marry into the Zhang family for Nan Xiao.
He almost forgot his fourth sister who loved to laugh in the past, and how touching the smile was. Even if Xiao Yixue smiled at him now, she was already like a puppet that had lost her soul, and she smiled very reluctantly.
That kind of laughter is also to comfort their hearts.
For Xiao Yixue, Xiao Jiu could only find a doctor to treat her. At that time, he borrowed Du Ming from Xia Ruan's side, and Xia Ruan didn't ask for anything, so he agreed directly. In the days when you came and went for this kind of benefit, Xiao Jiu was somewhat happy about Xia Ruan's actions.
He thought about treating Xiao Yixue, but he never thought of letting Xiao Yixue find another son-in-law.
After all, he didn't want to embarrass Xiao Yixue.
So when Lei Liugongzi appeared, Xiao Jiu knew about his wife's arrangement, and also understood that it was his own negligence.
Lei Liugongzi is a person with a strange personality, he is the patriarch of the Lei clan in Shudi, and the price of the guqin made by himself is always sky-high. Moreover, this Sixth Prince of Lei rarely makes the piano himself, let alone gives away the piano he makes himself.
Lei Liugongzi did hear the fourth sister play the piano before, but this time Lei Liugongzi will notice the fourth sister, more or less because of his wife.
He once unintentionally mentioned to his wife that the gentleman who taught his fourth sister to play the piano and teach him poetry was the same gentleman. Although this gentleman is no longer there, he is still grateful to this gentleman.
However, this gentleman was a master who was famous in the rivers and lakes back then.
Lei Liugongzi will notice the fourth sister, not only because of the fourth sister's piano skills, but also because this gentleman was the most respected person by Lei Liugongzi.
"Master Hou, you are busy with government affairs now, and you can't take care of everything." Xia Ruan smiled lightly, "Even if Sixth Prince Lei can't tie the knot with the fourth sister, then he can become a friend of the fourth sister." This time, the fourth sister returned to Beijing. I want the fourth sister to live in the Xunyin Pavilion not far from the main courtyard. How about Hou Ye? ”
Xiao Jiu nodded: "Naturally, it's good." ”
Xia Ruan looked at her husband's expression, and her smile became deeper and deeper.
In fact, from the very beginning, she wanted to find a new family for Xiao Yixue. But Xiao Yixue is very distrustful of feelings now, so she has never mentioned it to Xiao Yixue and Lei Liugongzi. What exactly is her purpose. Whether this thing works or doesn't happen. It's all about Xiao Yixue's own feelings and Lei Liugongzi's own feelings. If it is best, if it is not, then Xiao Yixue will also have one more friend.
Lei Liugongzi has a unique insight into the art of the piano. So he will definitely be able to become friends with Xiao Yixue.
Outsiders say that Lei Liugongzi is a crazy person, and his mood is sometimes good and bad. However, rumors are rumors after all, and some rumors cannot be fully believed.
If Lei Liugongzi didn't have any talent, how could he be the patriarch of the Lei clan?
Xiao Jiu put Xia Ruan's hands down and moved the official document closer: "This Yecheng fire, in fact, not all the things in the warehouse were burned. These weapons, as well as grain and grass, were all taken away by the four princes, and some were unmovable and bulky things, so the four princes were burned. ”
Xia Ruan's eyes widened, "Cinnabar knows? ”
"Yes." Xiao Jiu pointed to the official document and said, "However, Anfu Yin said that there were no valuable things in the warehouse, and everything was burned, so the emperor did not continue to investigate." ”
Xiao Jiu said lightly, but Xia Ruan's mood couldn't calm down at all.
From the very beginning, they were calculating Cinnabar, and when Cinnabar put these important materials in the warehouse in Yecheng, the Four Princes and Xiao Jiu noticed it. Because of her transaction with Concubine An, this matter went extremely smoothly.
Cinnabar can hurt, and it's definitely not an accident. They had people ambush Cinnabar at that time, and they also let Cinnabar know that the supplies had been taken by them.
As for which prince took it, Cinnabar naturally didn't know.
The Fourth Prince had no intention of revealing his strength at this time.
Cinnabar is a very suspicious person, and his current whereabouts are unknown means that he may still be alive, and Xia Ruan also knows that it is impossible for a person like Cinnabar to die in this fire. So Cinnabar's whereabouts are uncertain now, also to investigate this matter well.
"What will happen to Anfu Yin?" Xia Ruan frowned slightly after reading the official document.
It is impossible for An Yingrong to continue to return to Yecheng as the governor now, even if Emperor Jianguang will forgive him, but Cinnabar will definitely send someone to assassinate him in the future. He was already very unsafe in Yecheng, although An Yingrong had been doing this with a mortal heart from the beginning, but Xia Ruan still couldn't bear it.
She remembered Concubine An's helpless look at the beginning, and she also remembered that Concubine An almost cried in front of her.
Concubine An Guifei helped her in this matter, and she naturally didn't want Concubine An to really suffer such pain.
Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand and rubbed Xia Ruan's furrowed eyebrows: "This matter, the fourth prince and I have already thought of it. Don't worry, Anfu Yin will be safe. Also, the Fourth Prince asked me to thank you and say that those medicinal herbs are very useful. It's just that the fourth prince hopes that after the year, let the general come to the mansion to see someone? ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled: "Doctor?" Who he wants to see. (To be continued......)
