"You!"

Xia Shijie was hit hard, plopped, sat on the bed, and his face changed miserably.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant.

Xia Cicada lowered her head with a blank expression.

Cheyenne glanced at her son and said softly: "Your sister is amazing, bold and careful, she didn't touch her hands at all, she just wanted to muddy the water, if it weren't for the coincidence, I'm afraid even I wouldn't dare to say that I would definitely find out that this poisonous snake is the owner, or an accident." ”

He simply doubted that if it weren't for the urgency of time, this little girl would have hatched a terrible trick to draw her attention to some big people, so that the Xia family would not dare to delve into it.

Cheyenne's face was gloomy.

"Don't alarm your mother, she's not in good health."

Xia An glanced at Xia Chan, looked up at Xia Shijie again, and laughed in a low voice, "Shijie, you said at the beginning, Hongchen is good to marry low, not to be bullied, I think your mother is unlikely to be willing to marry her own daughter low, but a fake daughter, and not the blood of the Xia family, marrying high will be a person, not a marriage, that is a feud, she can't agree with this child to marry a little farther, marry a little lower, it's okay to control, and won't be bullied." ”

Xia Shijie was shocked and closed his eyes.

Xia Chan's face slackened a little, I don't know how long it took, and finally collapsed, crying bitterly: "Daddy, I don't want it!" She suddenly softened, rushed over and hugged Xia Shijie's thigh, "Big brother, I don't want to, don't let me go, I promise, I won't dare in the future, there will be no next time, I'm really just curious." There are rare secret books in Dayun Temple, many of which are related to casting spirit soldiers, I heard that it can also enlighten spiritual wisdom, so that an ordinary person can cultivate, and can also cultivate spiritual energy...... Big brother, I beg you to see our love for many years. Intercede with Daddy. Spare me this time. ”

She cried so loudly that she cried out to her lungs.

Xia Shijie only felt cold in his heart, and his back was numb.

"Love?"

When he heard these two words, he only felt sarcasm!

Cheyenne sneered: "What are you talking about?" What scriptures are not written, it is obvious that you poisoned your eldest brother. He also manipulated poisonous snakes to kill him. ”

But in his heart, he secretly said - I am afraid that there are seven or eight points pretending!

This little girl in front of me is amazing. It looks like seven or eight times out of ten. was involved in the big things planned by Beiyan, but he couldn't know about it. The Xia family can't know either.

Their Xia family is loyal to Da Zhou, and they have a blood feud with Beiyan for generations, and no one must believe that the Xia family is a little disloyal to Da Zhou!

The children of the Xia family, naturally, are all different from the people of Beiyan, and no one will believe that they are involved in such things.

As soon as he turned his head and gave a low command, several guards took Xia Cicada away and locked him in the basement.

As for Chen Wan, she only said that her daughter went to retreat to ponder the art of forging before she got married, and she was fooled.

Xia Shijie's health is not good, all her energy is focused on her son, and she really doesn't have the strength to think about her daughter for a while.

One day passes, two days pass.

Xia Chan's fiancé was decided.

Even if she did so much, Xia Shijie didn't know what she thought, and it was not very bad with the future husband she chose.

People are more honest, not very good at being officials, and most of the suave scholars, simple temperament, parents are gone in the early years, there is a younger brother, the family business is also because of reading, the consumption is almost the same, the younger brother has no talent for reading, so he became a businessman, and he also made some money, enough to live.

The two brothers have a good relationship.

Xia Shijie dragged his sick body and asked his subordinates to inspect this person's conduct, so he put his mind at ease, he didn't come forward, but let people help Xia Chan prepare a very rich dowry, this dowry can't be compared with those noble daughters in the capital, but it can't be considered thin, enough for Xia Cicada to spend her life very rich.

On this day, Xia Shijie finally came out of the room and walked to the basement.

Some of the disciples of the Xia family who made mistakes were confined here, to a place that was not so terrifying, clean and clean, except that they were not free, and they were not much different from living in their own houses.

“…… His name is Yuan Bin, he is a good person, and when you see him, you will know that he is a very good candidate, and he will definitely love his wife. ”

Xia Shijie tilted his head sideways, refusing to look at her.

Maybe it was real despair, Xia Chan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Shijie indifferently: "You hate me? Hehe, we are obviously the same people, the most similar brother and sister, why do you hate me? Yes, because this time involves your own interests, your life, so the maintenance of me in the past no longer exists, if it is not you who are unlucky this time, I am harming other people, such as Xia Hongchen, or even some other relatives of yours, you probably won't be so angry, right? ”

She chuckled softly.

Xia Shijie raised his head suddenly, but he was speechless for a while.

His mind was in a mess, but a thought popped up from the depths of his heart - she was right!

It turned out that they were really the closest brother and sister, and they were also the people who knew each other the most, just like this time, when he heard his father say that Xia Chan was going to kill him, he didn't have the slightest suspicion, and subconsciously believed it.

Probably he also understands that he has hurt his eldest sister since he was a child, and he is such an unscrupulous woman, but he used to try his best to deceive himself and make him believe that Ah Chan is a good girl and his baby little sister, and besides, even if Ah Chan is a bad girl, it doesn't hurt her to harm others and bully others......

Xia Shijie didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Xia Cicada didn't hold back anymore, but there was an indescribable treacherous light flashing in his eyes.

Between these close brothers and sisters, there is a huge gap between them, and they can never find the past.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.

Luo Niang and the others made a lot of ice cubes, and used molds to make all kinds of small pieces, plum blossom shapes, triangle shapes, apple shapes, and small pieces such as boxy, wrapped them in oiled paper, put them in the insulated food box, and recruited a bunch of little beggars from the outside to wash them clean with hot water. He changed into a neat robe of sky-blue burlap, and each of them put on a small hat.

The hat was embroidered with embroidery thread - 'Ice and Snow' in four big characters, and there was a row of addresses at the bottom.

Hongchen bought a shop, which was originally a small noodle restaurant, and then closed down, just let her take it down, and before she could think about what to do, as soon as summer came, she simply ran some ice business.

Nowadays, the ice in Yong'an City is very expensive, and it is difficult for even the homes of the powerful to be used openly. They run this. Make sure that there is no profit or loss.

Hongchen specially scoured the recipe and made some special ice products, such as fried smoothies and the like, those ice cubes. A small portion is also added to the juice. But. This must be limited in quantity, mainly because it is easy to perish, and it is not as good as pure ice to preserve. You have to buy and eat what you eat.

A group of girls have done their business in girls' schools.

The students in the women's school were very enthusiastic, and even the gentlemen enjoyed a big bowl of smoothies after class.

However, the girl eats too cold, which is not very good for the body, and a few gentlemen are very strict in this regard, and only allow a student to eat a small cup every day.

The county lord's mansion has not yet been completed, but it is only time to learn from those powerful families to build a large ice storehouse.

Hongchen wrapped a mink cloak, sat on a soft couch covered with cotton mattresses, and stayed in the freezer to read, this taste, people who have never enjoyed it don't know how refreshing it is!

"Miss."

Luo Niang walked down the stone steps, shivering with cold, and then looked at the appearance of her own county lord, she was speechless for a long time before she cried and laughed, "The master of the precepts of the Dayun Temple is here." ”

Warnings? Martial law...... What is the name of the law?

Hongchen sat up, stretched out his feet, retracted them suddenly, and said with a smile: "Since you are a high monk, you must not mind that I entertain distinguished guests in the freezer, please invite him in." ”

Luo Niang opened her mouth, or decided to take a thick cotton robe and then go to greet people, following her own lady's wishes, the weather outside is very hot, and their family is afraid of the heat, and even moved to catch a few ghosts and put them in the house to cool down, in order not to find ghosts at home, this little thing, or don't worry about her.

The master of the precepts really didn't care at all, he was a chubby, kind-faced monk, and when he saw the red dust, he said to Amitabha Buddha, and thanked him again and again: "These Japanese temples deal with the rebels, and even the disciples of the senior brother of the precepts and the senior brother of the precepts are also involved, and they can't come in time to thank them, and I hope the county lord will forgive me." ”

Hongchen smiled: "Okay, you're welcome, don't worry, master, I'm not a talkative person, I also bumped into this matter by mistake, I promise not to say a word to anyone else, in fact, I don't know the cause and effect." ”

The precept was also a little embarrassed, and said again and again: "Where is the county lord, up and down this temple, thanks to the help of the county lord, it's too late to thank you, how can you have scruples?" Today's vows are only for thanks. ”

Don't believe it or not, Hongchen will believe it anyway.

The precepts also explained with a smile: "The elders of this temple found out that it was the envoys of Beiyan who lured them with heavy money, and they also took the handle of the two disciples in the temple before threatening them, one leaked the information of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and the other stole the scriptures. ”

He sighed, and there was some worry in his eyes, the disciples of the Buddhist Sect actually let the evil demons lead out the demons in their hearts and make such an incident, which was not beneficial to the prestige of their Dayun Temple, and they did not want the news to spread.

But this kind of thing, you can't hide it, it's better to be generous, to the point that it looks bright and upright, and has the demeanor of the four major Buddhist gates.

Jieyan shook his head, relaxed, gossiped with Hongchen, drank a cup of tea, hot tea, and felt good drinking hot tea in such an ice room.

"It's a pity that it's not in line with the way of health ......"

After sitting for a while, the precept seemed to be unintentional, and said lightly, "I heard that the Xia family has become famous, and the mother of the eldest lady of the Xia family, Xia Chan, deliberately changed her daughter back then, took away the concubine of the Xia family, and exchanged her daughter for the Xia family. ”

"The emperor also gave an edict...... The daughter of the original Xia family has been adopted by Her Majesty under the queen's knees, entitled the county lord, and given the surname of the country. ”

Bang, a big stone fell from the sky, and the red dust was dizzy, and he couldn't return to his senses for a while.

"What a mess!

This is too unexpected, things have been going on for more than three years, how can you suddenly turn over old accounts!

She knew that the Xia family was bound to change dramatically, but she didn't expect it. The change is so big, it's ridiculously big!

In the previous life, the Xia family was too lazy to deal with the Gu family, it was estimated that they wanted to save some face for Xia Chan, and besides, if it was too big to let outsiders know, a peasant woman would be inexplicable, and it would be easy to replace the daughter of the Xia family, which was not a good reputation.

Although the people of Cheyenne are not particularly face-loving, they are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and more things are better than less things. Calm and reasonable. Just for the sake of the Xia family, he turned this matter out generously and bluntly, I am afraid that I don't know how long it will take. before making a decision.

Suddenly there was a picture of laughter in the Yujue space.

"Red dust. If your story is written as a novel. Your protagonist is too non-existent, and you haven't started to abuse the villain yet, why did the villain abuse himself himself. You didn't even want to deal with your adoptive mother, your adoptive mother was 108,000 miles away, and she couldn't make trouble for you, and then you just lay down like this, oops, how can you make up this to make the novel a little rounder and look decent......"

Hongchen blocked out this unobtrusive power in the blink of an eye.

She has to hurry up and elevate her authority, so she can't let those high-level people casually peek into her life.

But now-

"I feel like I need to get out of the capital and avoid the limelight."

It is conceivable that from today onwards, the gossip news on the streets and alleys is probably all about the Xia family, a good show of true and false daughters, maybe it can be compiled into a play book and sung everywhere, how can the popularity last for a year and a half.

Hongchen doesn't want to be the poor protagonist in the story at all, it just so happens that after being named the county lord, he should also return to his hometown, go home to see, and deal with the rest of the family's business, house or something.

Second, she was going to take her unicorn home.

The two things were done together, and it was not too late to return when the chaos in the capital subsided.

The Xia family made such a big mess, their house itself was strictly controlled, the news was not spread, outsiders just guessed, and Hongchen got the news as soon as possible.

Merely......

The spy who was trained by Shengmen is a good hand at writing scripts, and a small thing is also written with extraordinary style, and the climax is repeated, so that she can watch it three times before it is enjoyable, and she almost shed a handful of bitter tears for the Xia family.

In fact, it is a matter of one sentence, the big title and the subheading, the whole incident is clear - Xia Chan stabbed Xia Shijie, the matter was revealed, the patriarch was the son-in-law of the two lists of Jinshi Wang (about to go to the northwest), Xia Chan refused to give in, colluded inside and outside, ran away at night, the princess was frightened, and the Xia patriarch opened the ancestral hall angrily and removed it.

All in all, Xia Chan fled, so Xia An was ruthless, and the strong man broke his wrist, so he simply didn't even want face, everything was made clear, and there would be no future troubles.

"Whew!"

Hongchen couldn't help but say a word of admiration, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't even have to see it in person, she could imagine Cheyenne's quiet and resolute appearance.

That person never hesitates to be anxious when he encounters trouble, and he never acts rashly, but once he finds that something is wrong, he does not lack courage at all.

The Xia family has produced heroes from generation to generation, but the patriarch is often not heroic, but many are not visible, now that I think about it, it is a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and it does have its own rules.

As soon as Luo Niang and Xiao Yan knew the news, they were overjoyed, especially Xiao Yan, who said three times in a row - "Yes!" ”

Hongchen doesn't feel anything, Xia Chan is the kind of person, even if he is depressed for a while, he has not yet reached a desperate situation, and he will never accept his fate, just like now, she obviously cares so much about the Xia family, and she cares to the point of losing ground, but she still takes the risk of escaping from marriage.

She can understand Xia Chan's mind - who to marry, or second!

With the Xia family here, marrying an ordinary husband is not the worst thing, but if she leaves the capital, she can't stand it.

Now that she is going to the northwest, she may never have the opportunity to return in her life, she has been planning for many years, and it is not easy to earn a lot of power in Beijing, let her give up, it is more serious than cutting her flesh, how can she be willing?

Moreover, Xia Chan probably didn't expect that Xia An would be so decisive, desperately embarrassed, and also explained the causes and consequences.

In fact, as long as Xia An covers up her face in order to cover up one or two, she will be angry and remove her name, she doesn't want this title, but in the minds of everyone in the capital, she is still the daughter of the Xia family, broken bones and tendons, and they can't be separated.

"Luo Niang, you pack up your things, ask for a leave from the female school, and say that you want to go back to your hometown to visit relatives, let's avoid it."

Luo Niang responded.

They are now like fish in water in women's schools, and they are deeply liked by teachers and teachers.

The Beijing Girls' School has been established so far. It's not easy, from the mountain chief to Mr., most of the people who appreciate it are the daughters who have the temperament, can stand on their own, and refuse to spend all their lives in the inner house, Luo Niang, each of them has such a heart, how can they not like it!

In a short period of time, even other female students know that this year's Beijing women's school has a bumper harvest, and there are many outstanding talents in the cold door.

Enviable. There are also people who look sideways. Some people are jealous, and in recent days, there has been a faint gossip in the female school, saying that they are loved by their teachers. But after all, it's just a small family girl. The wives of serious high-ranking families still value their family background. Others are just additives, and it's okay if you don't have them.

Of course, these kinds of remarks can't hurt Luo Niang and them in the slightest, and their biggest purpose in taking the women's school entrance examination is just to get out of the country. What do they say, they haven't even dreamed of it, and it is impossible for them to be like many people think, working hard to get admitted to women's schools just to climb high branches, but they should still let this trend fade away, stay away from it for months, and no one has the energy to say any gossip.

Hongchen they are not in a hurry, slowly pack up the things, since it is to return to the hometown, naturally have to prepare all kinds of gifts, a lot of jewelry, fabrics and clothes in the capital are very fresh things in Qi County, money can not buy, prepare more, go back to give favors.

Luo Niang and the others were even busier, busy explaining the ice shop that had just opened, and keeping someone to take care of the house.

In the past few days, the ice shop has also reduced the price of rewards, and customers are coming.

Li Wangfu

King Li also bought ice, but he didn't eat ice in the summer, and he didn't put charcoal pots in the house in the winter.

The ice I bought was for the warblers and swallows raised in the garden.

"Lord Wang."

A young man with delicate eyebrows gently pushed open the door, and saw his prince dressed in a single coat, sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and resting, his brows raised, and he didn't know what to think, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Miss Xia Chan asks to see you." ”

After a while, Chen Wei opened his dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a chuckle, "Xia Cicada? She is not surnamed Xia, no matter what, she is still a beauty, you go and tell her, my family has a swallow garden, and there are countless canaries, if she wants, I will leave a cage for her. ”

The little guy was stunned.

A while ago, the prince of their family also said that the young lady of the Xia family was a little interesting, and today he only gave people the opportunity to be kept in captivity in the garden, and they all said that the prince did not like the new and hate the old, and it seemed that he didn't care too much about this young lady that day.

In fact, there is nothing abnormal, that Xia Chan is still a little girl now, how many means can she have? It's not like many years later, when his wings were plump, and he slowly grinded out his status in King Li's mind with water milling.

Even in her previous life, Xia Chan was just treated as an interesting woman by King Li at the beginning, and she just enjoyed and played with nothing to do.

The little guy answered, bowed and withdrew.

King Li didn't even open his eyes, it seemed that he was sincere to this Miss Xia Chan, and only kept a few jokes.

Xia Chan listened to the words, lowered her head, and didn't move for a long time, she wore a curtain hat on her head, covering her face, so that she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her shoulders trembled slightly, presumably this time she was not pretending to be delicate, and she wanted to be pitied.

This embarrassing situation could not affect Hongchen, she was almost ready to travel, and the queen of the palace summoned her into the palace and gossiped for a while.

The mother of the main palace has refused to see those ladies for many years, but Hongchen is now her serious granddaughter, and she is called into the palace to Cheng Huan's knees, and she doesn't feel annoyed at all.

"It's also time to go back to your hometown to see, after all, you have lived in Qixian for more than ten years, and you grew up there, if you go this time, you will bring the honor guard, and I will send you two grandmothers."

The queen pondered for a moment, and then sent the palace maids, grandmothers, and guards in the palace to escort her all the way.

Hongchen's county lord's mansion has not yet been completely built, and the inner mansion is ready to send her a batch of palace people to fill the mansion at any time.

It's just that even if Hongchen doesn't pick all of them, you have to pick a few, these county lords, they can personally pick their own people, that's decent.

She is busy for a while, and she has no time to operate, and now that she has picked it out, there is no place to release people, so she is not in a hurry.

"I will prepare some gold and silver for you, and when it is time to give you a reward, be generous."

The queen is different from the stingy emperor, she is not short of money, and she is willing to spend it for the children, this is her daughter's daughter, that is her granddaughter, she should love her, and she is willing to spend as much as she wants.

The silver money prepared by the palace for the queen every year will not be used up until the end of the year and will be taken back and replaced with a new one, so why save it.

Hongchen responded with a smile, did not shirk, looked at Ganquan Palace, and said softly: "I will also leave two spiritual runes for Niangniang, knowing that there are taboos in the palace, let Yang Shi present them seriously, the last time I entered the palace, I felt that there was bad luck in this palace, and Niangniang's Ganquan Palace was less, recently I saw that even Ganquan Palace was contaminated, and it was more reassuring to paste two spiritual runes."
