The one hundred and thirty-ninth visit
"Madam, they are not worried that Madame will see through the second half of their content...... "Bai Ling replied, "such as slaves and maids can see through it, and there must be more people who can see at a glance that there is a problem in the sky." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"You mean," Dong Xiao's voice deepened, "they're not worried that Mrs. Ben will look out for them?" ”
"Madam, think about it, why did the Tian family and the Yan family send weapons instead of grain and grass?"
Dong Xiaoyou listened to Bai Ling's question, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: Yes, if it is a gesture of goodwill, sending grain and grass at this time will be of greater help to the prince than sending weapons, and the Tian family and the Yan family are both big families with land and grain in their hands, and it is not yet the summer solstice, and there should be a lot of surplus grain in their hands.
Bai Ling explained: "Weapons, murderous creatures. This is what the slaves and maids think they actually intend to threaten the lady. They sent the murderous objects, and they also made us suspect that there was their eyeliner in the house...... This is the threat to Mrs. Make, so that we cannot act rashly. Secondly, the document sent refers to the instrument, which in turn has the meaning of compromise and negotiation. ”
"In other words, because the prince shot and killed Helian, which was unexpected by them, they had to compromise with the prince, but at the same time, they also used weapons to remind the prince that they couldn't be pushed too quickly?" Dong Xiaoyou guessed.
"Yes," Bai Ling blessed, "but all this is only a shallow conjecture of the slave, and the slave is not sure." ”
Dong Xiaoyou lowered her head and continued to think: Bai Ling's opinion is probably very close to the true intentions of the Tian family and the Yan family, but she always feels that there seems to be something short in her heart, but this time she can't figure it out.
"Anyway, since we are the prince's family, we can't let these people be too complacent." Dong Xiaoyou said.
"Yes," Ah Chu nodded, "Madame's words are very true! Over the years, the prince has made great achievements for the imperial court, how can he be afraid of these local wealthy families? She looked disdainful.
"Ah Chu, prepare the carriage." Dong Xiaoyou was helped up by Biluo.
"Madame, do you want this?" Ah Chu asked puzzled.
"Since the other party has sent such a big gift, we should thank you anyway." Dong Xiaoyou smiled slightly, "Otherwise, wouldn't it make people say that the people in our General's Mansion are rude?" ”
"Madam," Ah Chu was a little worried, "the other party has the ability to forge so many weapons to give to the prince, and he has private soldiers...... Shouldn't we just go by? What she was worried about was that if these people were disobedient, wouldn't Madame be in the mouth of a tiger in the past?
"Don't worry, since the other party took the initiative to send weapons and papers, it means that they don't have the guts. Otherwise, the defenders of our mansion and the entire Liaoyang City would not be able to resist the private soldiers of the two of them. Although they are each with a ghost now, everyone has not torn their faces, and it is reasonable for us to pay a return visit in the past. Dong Xiaoyou explained.
Ah Chu heard it and felt that it made sense, so he saluted respectfully: "The slave and maid will go down according to the lady's instructions, then, madam, the slave and the maid will accompany the lady together." ”
"No, there's no need," Dong Xiaoyou said, "Qili is injured, and Bailing must count the papers, so it's better for you to stay in the mansion to take care of the two of them." ”
However, the slave was worried about his wife's ...... "After experiencing the assassin's incident, Ah Chu was even more worried about Dong Xiaoyou's safety. She didn't want anything to happen to her when the prince came back.
"Sister Ah Chu, don't worry, there's still me." Biluo smiled at Ah Chu.
Ah Chu knew that Biluo's kung fu was very good, but she still couldn't rest assured, she looked in a dilemma, and Dong Xiaoyou smiled: "Okay, I went back to thank people in the past, and I didn't go to fight." ”
"But," Ah Chu straightened his back very confidently, "It's still very dangerous along the way, what if you encounter an assassin again?" Madame should bring more guards with her. ”
Dong Xiaoyou shook his head: "No, it's not good to bring too many guards, although we have to guard against others, we can't do too much in terms of face, otherwise we will fall into the hands of others." was spread out by some people's mouths, but it became our oppression of the good, or the prince did not trust the scholars of Youzhou. ”
"This ......" Ah Chu said, Madame's words are very reasonable, every move of the general's mansion is remembered by countless people, and some people want to seize the handle of the prince at any time to act against the prince, and they have to guard against it.
Dong Xiaoyou is a very life-loving person, if she feels that she is in danger, even if others pull her, she will not go. However, she believes that it has only been a few days since the last assassination, and no one should be stupid enough to arrange two assassinations in such a short period of time. Moreover, this is still in Liaoyang City, and I believe that no one will dare to do this. Because if there was really a second assassination, then even if the prince was angry and pulled out all the scholars and local officials in Youzhou and beheaded, no one would dare to object. This kind of reckless thing would not be done even by a three-year-old child, not to mention that these scholars in Youzhou are all proficient.
Qili looked at Ah Chu with a shrugging head, and said coldly: "If you can't go by yourself, won't you find someone else." With just a few strokes of effort, this house is much more powerful than you. ”
"Hmph, don't talk about me, the two of us are half a pound against eight taels." Ah Chu involuntarily replied when he heard it, but he immediately remembered from Qili's words, "Yes, there are still people." After speaking, she hurriedly blessed Dong Xiaoyou and ran out.
"What is Ah Chu going to do?" On the contrary, Dong Xiaoyou was confused by Ah Chu's rush out of the hall so quickly.
Qili replied lightly: "I'm going to find someone." ”
"Looking for someone?" Dong Xiaoyou looked at Qili in confusion and asked.
Qili just nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, although Dong Xiaoyou was still a little confused, but seeing that Qili didn't plan to continue, she had to stop asking.
But it didn't take long for Ah Chu to pull a tall and thin woman in: "Madam, just take Biluo with her, with the two of them to take care of it, the slave and maid can rest assured." Ah Chu shouted excitedly.
The tall and thin woman bowed to Dong Xiaoyou in a dignified manner: "Slave Lu'er, I've seen Madame." ”
Dong Xiaoyou nodded: "Get up." She looked at it carefully, although this Lu'er was slender and long, but she looked very energetic, her eyes were full of aura, her skin was fair, and her eyes were narrow. Dong Xiaoyou guessed that this woman seemed to be very strong in martial arts.
Ah Chu explained to Dong Xiaoyou: "This Lu'er has very high kung fu, and when she didn't have Xinyi at the beginning, she was the most powerful. If she is by the lady's side, then the slave is really at ease. ”
Xinyi is the maid that Sima Li gave to the princess before? After Dong Xiaoyou heard this name, she couldn't help but look at Lu'er more carefully, such thin arms and legs are stronger than Ah Chu and Qili? She didn't think so, but Xinyi's maid, she remembered how powerful she was, but it was a pity that such a good bodyguard was at the princess's place.
In the end, Dong Xiaoyou left Ah Chu, Bailing, Qili, Ye'er, Yi'er and others to stay in the General's Mansion, and took Biluo, Ren Hong, Hanzhu and Lu'er with a few maids by his side, and went to visit the Tian family first. Since Xu Jiang was also going to return to Taishou Mansion, the two sisters took a carriage out of the mansion together.
Along the way, Dong Xiaoyou and Xu Jiang sisters have been chatting about some topics in Xu's mansion, and they didn't think it was so special, but they didn't know to cherish it until they couldn't go back to those days. The two sisters were silent as they spoke.
"Fourth sister, the current situation in Youzhou is very unstable, you and the prince are already on the same line now, you have to pay more attention." Xu Jiang said, "Even in the Taishou Mansion, there are many clansmen at both ends, you have to keep the prince vigilant." She still doesn't worry about this fourth sister, but seeing the popularity and status of the fourth sister in the house, and then looking at the grievances suffered by Gongsun Fang in the house, looking at this way, this sister is not without scheming.
She doesn't think it's a bad thing to have a city government, a woman is in a house, and there is no way to live well without a city government and no scheming. Men have a vast world for them to roam, but they have to lock all the women in the mansion, so it is conceivable that the struggle in the house is a life-and-death struggle between women.
If Dong Xiaoyou is bullied by her subordinates now, and Gongsun Fang gains power, Xu Jiang will definitely not sit idly by, and she will definitely drag all her subordinates out and beat her. In fact, she was worried that there would be such a thing if she wanted to come in person this time, after all, this fourth sister had been bullied by the Xu family since she was a child. But now it's the other way around, Xu Jiang is a short-term protector, and now she has regarded the fourth sister as the best sister, naturally no matter how much this sister bullies Gongsun Fang, it is also a good thing in her opinion, so she should deal with Gongsun Fang like this.
But of course, Gongsun Fang has such an embarrassing position today, which is also caused by her own uneasiness about her duty. It's just that Xu Jiang's protection has nothing to do with Gongsun Fang'an's uneasiness in his duties, as early as when he was in the Taishou Mansion, Xu Jiang was a little unaccustomed to Gongsun Fang's personality.
The two sisters took a few words of care for each other along the way, Dong Xiaoyou prepared a lot of medicinal materials for Xu Jiang to stabilize the fetus and strengthen the body, the relationship between the sisters was intimate, naturally there were no hypocritical excuses, Xu Jiang generously let Jing'er accept it. Then, when they arrived at the fork in the road, Dong Xiaoyou finally separated from Xu Jiang, watching Xu Jiang with a slightly bulging belly and being supported by the maid into another carriage, and then showing a smiling face in the window to say goodbye to her, Dong Xiaoyou's eyes were also red: the second sister is still leaving.
Biluo naturally knew the relationship between her girl and her second sister, she kissed Dong Xiaoyou's hand and wanted to comfort her, but Biluo understood that she was stupid, so she didn't say anything.
Although Dong Xiaoyou was sad for a while, she was not alone when she thought that she still had Biluo, Ah Chu, Bailing, Ye'er and others by her side. Even in the 21st century, there was no one around her like Biluo, which made the loneliness and sadness in her heart gradually fade.
After walking quietly for a while, Lu'er opened the curtain of the carriage: "Madam, it's time to Tian's house." ”
