The two men drank the whole pot of tea in silence, and when Mama Wu came in to add tea, she found that it was surprisingly quiet inside, and the two young masters looked at the teacup for a while and looked at each other for a while, and then slowly drank the tea in the cup. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This situation is too weird, she never knew that there could be such a silent communication between two men. So he quietly added water and quickly withdrew.

This situation lasted until Qingzhi came over and asked Mama Wu to take the two young masters to the main courtyard for dinner. Mama Wu stood at the door and silently recited a sentence Amitabha Buddha is finally open, otherwise if you keep drinking like this, the stomachs of the two masters should be filled with tea.

When she arrived at the front yard, Xi Yunting nested in her wife's arms and laughed, Xi Cui was serving the cloth vegetables on the side, and the Hou Ye sat on the side without talking but was also full of smiles, and the atmosphere of the family was indescribably peaceful. Wang Shaoyan looked at such a scene and suddenly felt sour in his heart, although the Wang family has many more people around each meal than here, but most of them have their own thoughts, even the father and mother have long been separated from each other, the two younger sisters are even more detached, several cousins and cousins have ghosts, and uncles and aunts have ill intentions. Even the people around him are cautious and cautious. It's impossible to simply eat a meal like this.

The four masters sat at the dining table to eat, Xi Cui habitually stood beside Yun Ting to distribute vegetables, but was pushed by Yun Ting to Wang Shaoyan's side, and said with a smile, "Xi Cui, you can help Xiang Gong pick up the dishes today, I want my mother to help me." Saying that, he was still stuck in his wife's arms and coquettish. Xi Cui smiled and moved his body to add food to Wang Shaoyan's side. Wang Shaoyan smiled at Yun Ting and didn't say anything, he would eat whatever dishes Xi Cui added. When he was in the Wang family before, he was used to being served by others, usually when he saw a dish, someone put that dish in front of him, sometimes it was a maid, sometimes it was Linglong, sometimes it was a mother, Xi Cui was a discerning person, his eyes swept over and the dish would be put in front of him, and he was very handy. After a while, Wang Shaoyan couldn't help but look back at Xi Cui, thinking that waiting for these things by Xi Yunting's side would inevitably be rusty, but she didn't expect that she didn't relax at all because she knew what she should do. Even if such a girl doesn't have Master Huineng's other eyes, the master generally has to look at it a few times, not to mention that she has the approval of Master Huineng, or the rules of her duty, she is really smart and transparent.

Xi Yunjian on the other side was not very comfortable to watch. He didn't think anything was wrong when Xi Cui was serving Yun Ting, because sometimes he would add food to his sister, but now this Wang Shaoyan is so useful, so he can see how he looks at it. Madame, of course, saw him, but she only smiled and said nothing.

After finishing the meal, it was time to prepare to go back, but Wang Shaoyan was about to say goodbye to the Hou Ye but was suddenly called out. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Madame's face turned a lot paler, and after waiting for a long time to see the Hou Ye come back, the Madame suddenly opened her mouth and called Wang Shaoyan to the Hou Ye's study. Yun Tingyun's brother and sister were all blocked out and not allowed to approach.

Although he didn't know what was going on, with Wang Shaoyan's intuition, this matter was very serious for the Hou Mansion. And definitely not a good thing. Although he has been sick in bed all these years, he has not completely stayed out of the matter and does not ask about the affairs of the court, and even many things he has seen more thoroughly than those officials in the court. But despite this, he still couldn't think of any problems with the Hou Mansion, these years Huai'an Hou has been careful to abide by his duties, conscientious, and the princes' battle for the heirs has intensified, but Huai'an Hou has never been close to anyone, it is this that can win the emperor's trust and hold the military power firmly in his hands. With a lot of power, a high position, and no ambition, what could happen to such a person to make him so alarmed? Unless......

Madame also pondered for a long time before slowly speaking, "Shaoyan's health is really good, and I, as a mother, look at it with peace of mind." It's just that I don't know if you can really guarantee that even if your body recovers, you can never abandon Yun Ting, Master Huineng said that you are my Yun Ting's best support, although I believe it, I can't believe it, so I want to hear you personally promise that you will protect Yun Ting no matter how the Hou Mansion is in the future. Don't divorce your wife, don't have a flat wife, and the security is healthy! ”

Wang Shaoyan stood up, bent down solemnly and bowed, "Mother-in-law, you can rest assured, I, Wang Shaoyan, swear with the hair of the Venerable Master that I will protect Yunting wholeheartedly in the future." No divorced wife, no flat wife, security and health. If this oath is violated, heaven will not tolerate it! After solemnly speaking, he looked at his wife, lowered his voice and said, "Shaoyan should have done this, but my mother's words seem to have other meanings, I don't know if my mother can tell me a thing or two, Shaoyan may be able to solve a little." ”

Madame shook her head and said gloomily, "This matter is not up to you juniors, and it is better to end it than to have a turbulent situation in the court and increase innocent casualties." Don't come back after taking Yunting back this time, and don't mention the Hou Mansion, I'm really glad that she is not an ordinary person, as long as no one around her mentions her, she will forget about the people and things here...... I know that you are a gentleman like your father, and I and Hou Ye will always remember what you said today, and Yun Ting will entrust it to you. ”

Wang Shaoyan looked at the woman sitting opposite him, the age was almost the same as his mother, but her eyes were clear, her eyes were dim but not insidious, there was no strategy, and there was no resentment and unwillingness, giving people the feeling of helplessness and sadness, more expectation. But I don't know what Mrs. Huai'anhou, who can say such a thing, is still looking forward to?

What happened to the Hou Mansion? Why is there a sense of parting from life and death? I've already asked once and I've been rejected, do you want to ask again? The reason why Madame didn't say that she was afraid of dragging them down, or did she simply want this matter to stop? From Wang Shaoyan's point of view, the latter is too likely. What kind of injustice needs to be buried by a Yipin Marquis Mansion with military power in hand to end? And this matter will even lead to turmoil in the DPRK? Wang Shaoyan searched all the old things about the past dynasty and the grievances of the current court in his mind, but he couldn't think of it. But one thing he can be sure of is that no one knows about this matter except for the Hou Lord's wife and the Hou Mansion, even Xi Yunjian was kept secret. In this way, he wanted to know what the Hou Ye and his wife should do with Xi Yunjian next, Yun Ting married into the Wang family and entrusted it to him, so what about Xi Yunjian? With his personality, it is absolutely impossible to watch the Hou Mansion and ignore it, so to save his life, they can only send him away, is it a hussar general election?

Mrs. Hou was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "There is one more thing I must explain to you. Everyone can see the purpose of your mother's request for Xi Cui, but I want you not to touch her. Although Xi Cui is a maid, I can see clearly that she has been by Yun Ting's side all these years, she has a high heart and backbone, and she is not the kind of person who clings to wealth and nobility. The most important thing is that she will not be willing to be a concubine, she would rather be a poor wife than a noble concubine, she is this kind of person. If you force her to get what she wants, she seems to be kind and harmless, then she doesn't push her to be anxious, she has the brains and the means, but she just doesn't bother to use it. If you really want her to protect you best, don't let her hate you if you can't get it, otherwise you will regret it sooner or later. ”

Madame seemed to be reminiscing about a long time ago, and her eyes wandered a little, "You don't know how wonderful the scene was when I first met her. At that time, Xi Cui was only eight years old, but she was very thin, and she looked like an average child of six or seven years old. It was in the middle of the day when she was running desperately on the empty street with her sister on her back, and behind them was a big black wolfdog, which looked to be three feet long, and opened its bloody mouth viciously. I and Hou Ye because we had something to go out of the city, so we went out and saw it earlier, and people couldn't bear that situation, so we hurriedly chased after the guards, but found that there was a group of vicious men behind the dog. When we heard the chase, she was desperately beating a black dog lying on the ground with a stick in her hand, and the dog's head was knocked into a puddle of mud by her, and her face was splashed with blood, and the men chasing them were frightened and watched. Later, we learned that they were selling mountain goods with their father's mother, and her father was an Orion. The men were hired by Renyazi, and someone forcibly took her and her sister and sold them to Renyazi, and she pretended to be well-behaved and deceived the caretaker to find a chance to run out, and what happened to us happened. After the group of people knew the identity of the Hou Ye, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they let them go. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but later she found the Hou Mansion, knelt at the door and said that she was willing to sell herself as a slave. She came alone, her father and mother were not with her, and it had been some days, but I recognized her from a distance. Such a little girl escaped from the custody of human teeth with her sister, and killed such a big wolf dog, I thought this girl was not simple, but I just liked her if I couldn't stand it. ”

Wang Shaoyan didn't know why she was telling herself this, but she couldn't interrupt rashly. Mrs. Hou stopped and looked at him, "She's easy to like, isn't she?" But I don't want you to like it, on the one hand, for Yun Ting, and more for Yun Jian. Yun Jian's temper is too stubborn, sometimes Hou Ye and I can't suppress him, but he listens to Xi Cui because he likes Xi Cui. So Xi Cui must keep Yun Jian, once the Hou Mansion is gone, only Xi Cui can let Yun Jian live well. Xi Cui signed a living deed with the Hou Mansion, and she could have redeemed herself next year, but for the sake of Yun Ting, I had to force her to stay for another three years, but these three years were in your Wang family. Hui Neng saw Xi Cui when he gave me the Lingzhi that can save your life, and if it weren't for the words he asked Xi Cui to pass on to me, I would have planned to release Xi Cui. It's a pity that Huineng wants Xi Cui to go to your Wang family for three years. Your mother doesn't know about this matter, I have already given Yun Jian Xi Cui's deed of sale, she is now Xi Cui's person, you have no right to touch her, unless Yun Jian agrees. This is the last thing I can do for this son as a mother, and I hope you can do it. ”

Xi Cui...... It's Xi Cui again...... Wang Shaoyan felt that the shadow of this little girl was everywhere around him. Is this maid really that good? He found that he was a little jealous of this girl, and he felt ridiculous when he thought about it, but he didn't expect that so many people who were closely related to him were actually closely connected to this girl, and he really couldn't pay attention to her......

Wang Shaoyan is a person who doesn't like to say things repeatedly, even in the face of Mrs. Hou. I have already made everything clear to Xi Cui before, so there is no need to repeat it here. After all, a person's character is not something that is said, but something that is done.

When the Hou Ye came back, it was already the time of the unitary time, and they hurriedly resigned and got into the carriage. Wang Shaoyan finally glanced at the gate of the Hou Mansion again, the four golden red characters of the Huai'an Hou Mansion were engraved on the vermilion door plaque, and now it is still very dazzling, I don't know what kind of scene it will be next time?

It seems that when I go back, I should tell my father about this first and see if I can find some clues.

Xi Cui sat outside the sedan chair with the coachman, her hand always touching the brocade box in her arms. In the end, I still couldn't return this pearl hairpin, and such a valuable thing is not something that her little maid can afford to wear, and it is also a burden to hold, next time, next time I will give it to him directly. But she didn't know that she would never have the opportunity to enter the gate of the Hou Mansion behind her again in her life, and for a long time to come, the pearl hairpin in her hand would become the only thought of Xi Yunjian.

The carriage she was sitting in moved forward slowly, and another carriage passed by, and there was a thin man with a gloomy face and an indifferent expression sitting inside, dressed in a dark blue Confucian robe and a Xiangtan folding fan. Isn't it Qi Yu or who? It's just that now this Qi Yu is no longer the worthless sour and rotten talent he was before, but the newly recruited disciple of the Prince's Mansion today. Very much appreciated by the prince, it is said that the first time to talk to the prince won his heart, the two chatted until midnight did not feel sleepy, the next day was sent back to the house by the prince's personal guards, and now it is a big celebrity in front of the prince. There is no need to inform you to enter and leave the prince's mansion, and you also live in the courtyard specially purchased by the prince. Although this person has no fame at present, the road in front of the people has been paved smoothly, as long as he goes down the current path, it will be a straight up! Of course, these are just a few gossips muttered nonsense by a few people who have seen Qi Yu behind the carriage, and they don't know what kind of strategy Qi Yu has offered to the prince, so that the prince values him so much. Because these things are so implicated, how can anyone know about them?

Of course, Xi Cui didn't know Qi Yu's current situation, she thought that she had made a dowry and quit the marriage, and the Qi family immediately found a new family for him, and then he was still studying hard to gain fame. And the woman who accompanied him in place of her must be a well-read lady from a well-informed eunuch family, gentle and virtuous, and very satisfied with his mother. It's a good day like this, calm and serene, it's exactly what she has dreamed of for many years, although she couldn't fulfill it on herself in the end, it's not bad to let Qi Yu meet her. But she didn't know that the fate she couldn't control for a while changed not her future alone, but many people, including Qi Yu.

The fate between people is like this, no matter how close they used to be, in the end they missed it, they missed it, no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't go back to the past. Thinking about Xi Cui and Qi Yu before, it seems that as long as they stand a little closer, they will feel each other's existence, and the first thing they see when they raise their hands and look back is always each other, but now they actually rubbed shoulders twice but they couldn't imagine seeing each other.

And another fate may start at this time. For example, the brocade box in Xi Cui's hand, and the man in white who rode a horse on.

Xi Cui couldn't help but raise his head to see him when he heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, why was he so flustered every time he met him, as if he had never sat upright or stood in a proper manner, or he was still dignified and courteous to the prince of the world, and there was no solemnity that the prince should have. The strangest thing is that this person seems to be a little paranoid, and he wears white clothes every time, won't he get tired of it?

Nangong Yufeng stopped in front of the carriage, and was about to open his mouth to ask questions, but when he saw Xi Cui, he closed his mouth and turned over and got off the horse. came to the outside of the sedan chair and said to the inside, "Shaoyan can be inside?" ”

Wang Shaoyan lifted the curtain and poked his head out, "Yufeng is looking for me?" ”

Seeing him come out, Nangong Yufeng walked over, took his pulse, and nodded, "Finally, don't worry about someone accidentally tossing you to death." How about a trip with me? ”

"At this time? So what's going on? Wang Shaoyan looked at Yun Ting, who was already asleep in the sedan chair, "My wife is still inside." ”

"Human life is at stake, and you can still control your wife? Isn't she a great maid? It would be nice to get them a carriage and send them back. Nangong Yufeng pointed at Xi Cui and said, "You, you hurry up and get your young lady down, let's rush to save your life." ”

Xi Cui didn't have a good impression of him, but now he was even more disgusted when he saw him doing this, but he just watched him not act. Nangong Yufeng suddenly became angry, "Why are you like this?" Hurry up and find a carriage to send your young lady back, your uncle is in a hurry to save his life, it's too late, but a few lives! ”

Xi Cui ignored him and looked at Wang Shaoyan, "Uncle, it's only half a cup of tea to get to Wang's house here, so let's send Miss to the door first." Although the slave and maid don't know who the prince wants to save, but the slave and maid know that the whole capital knows that your uncle's body is not good, and it is rumored that you can't get out of bed before, who else dares to point to you to save your life? Besides, at this hour, where will the slave and maid go to find the carriage at half an hour? If you are lucky enough to find it, it is naturally easy to say, if you can't find it, just ask our young lady to wait on the street like this? Slaves and maids are born to be despised and the prince doesn't take it to heart, but the young lady is the young grandmother of the Wang family, how can such a thing be spread to outsiders? "Help? Pointing to a person who is haunted by a sick bed and personally presenting his own life, isn't that playing with his own life?

This girl must have done it on purpose! I misunderstood her before and gave her an ugly look, at the time I saw that she was soft and thought it was a good one, but I didn't expect it to be a grudge, but now I have a sharp mouth and a sharp mouth to hide needles in the cotton, and it is really difficult to raise only women and villains! In fact, he just said that the matter was very serious, and it would really be fatal for a while. But Wang Shaoyan had to go in person, but he knew very well what kind of person Mrs. Wang was, and it would be even more difficult to get Wang Shaoyan out once he arrived at the door. So he had to intercept people halfway, and he thought about making things more serious, and a few people were fooled as soon as their heads were hot, but he didn't expect this girl to be so difficult.

Wang Shaoyan was not in a hurry at all, he looked at the direction where Nangong Yufeng came from, and he probably had some numbers in his heart, and it didn't hurt to go for a while, but it seemed good to look at the dignified Wang Shizi being troubled by a maid!
