Chapter 204: Something Happened
In the court, almost all the people chose to fight, Emperor Zong's ascension to the throne also had seven or eight years, these years can be said to be hard work, the national strength of the former emperor, at this time Katuo dared to pull out the tiger's beard, I have to say that this is really not a wise move.
In the end, King Ning was strongly recommended by General Yuan, served as the main general, and set off with his troops five days later.
On the day of King Ning's departure, the snow rarely stopped, revealing the sun that he hadn't seen for more than a month.
Yan Xiaoyue took advantage of the rare weather and led people to put Yanyue on top and carefully cleaned it inside and out. Then he moved out of the beauty couch and lay in the courtyard to bask in the sun, listening to Jin Ling talk about the scene when King Ning went out to support him.
This kind of thing is not a national disaster, after all, for the people living in the imperial city, a few small villages on the border have nothing to do with them, they do not understand the hardship of guarding food rations every year, and they live in danger all the time. Most of the people in the Imperial City, they just came to see King Ning's demeanor and see this brave prince.
A few prayed for their loved ones who had joined the army, hoping that they would return safely, and that they would be victorious and successful.
King Ning went with the three thousand guards of King Ning's mansion, and it must be impossible to spend five days on the matter of ordering troops in the imperial city, otherwise it is still unknown whether he can see the tail of the people of Katuo when he goes?
After King Ning left, the imperial city entered a period of relative tranquility. In addition to the exchange of New Year's gifts between the various mansions, no mansion will have a feast at this time, even the Jin Wangfu, which loves to hold banquets, is quiet.
This silence was not broken until Chinese New Year's Eve, and King Ning, who had been going for twenty days, finally sent back the good news, not only killing all the people of Katuo who had committed crimes, but even capturing important people. As if the Manchurian City had reached the boiling point, various festive activities began.
Even the palace banquet, which the palace had planned to cancel, temporarily sent people to various mansions to deliver the decree, and the palace banquet was to be held as scheduled. As soon as the people of the Jiang family gathered in Jingrong Courtyard received the holy decree, the two elders hurriedly prepared and went to the palace.
Yan Xiaoyue looked at Jiang Ruan's heavy burden, and felt sorry for the old lady, this court dress looked heavy. But it's not very warm at all. Coupled with all kinds of jewelry, I am afraid that it will not be less than twenty pounds.
Yan Xiaoyue was pitying the old lady, but this eye became envy in the eyes of others. Jiang Siyan's eyes darkened, and the meaning was unclear.
Old Mrs. Jiang was not in the mansion, so the dinner party in the mansion naturally fell on Yan Xiaoyue, although there was a second lady in the mansion. It can be said that the second master is a concubine, and the second room is a side branch. So in the absence of the old lady. It has become the overall situation of Abbot Yan Xiaoyue.
Fortunately, there are precedents to follow, and most of the old ladies are ready, so as long as Yan Xiaoyue nodded, Mama Ling ordered to go.
The Chinese New Year's Eve meal was prepared early, but the prepared meal was hot over and over again. No one returned. The master didn't come back, and none of the minions at the end went back to the house to tell him about the situation.
It wasn't until nightfall that the three men who were still in the Jiang family realized that something might be wrong.
Yan Xiaoyue accompanied the second aunt and the three girls who were still in the boudoir to stay in Jingrong Hall and wait for news. Tell the porter to keep an eye on the door and not to let people come in and out at will.
Jiang Zheng just went out with the Jiang brothers. The porter came to report that the lady and lady of the Yang Mansion had come.
Yan Xiaoyue and the second lady were busy welcoming people in at the Hanging Flower Gate, only to see Fang Yajie reporting her youngest son and hurriedly coming with Yang Xiao'er, and before she could finish the ceremony, Fang Yajie asked: "Xiaoyue, Master Jiang can go back to the house." ”
Yan Xiaoyue said strangely: "Mother-in-law, my father also went to the palace banquet?" ”
"Yes, the holy decree that came temporarily today, the lord went out in a hurry, and he hasn't started eating lunch yet?"
The second lady hurriedly invited people into the room, and everyone sat down in turn.
"My grandfather and grandmother are in the palace when they are in the middle of the day, and it seems that they are a little earlier than my father-in-law. Mother, do you know the father-in-law who went to the house to announce the decree? ”
"I'm a woman, and I haven't been in the palace a few times, how can I know it? However, it is not the father-in-law who came to the government last time to announce the decree. Fang Yajie said that the people behind her were already flustered, and her eyes were red.
The Yang Mansion is not comparable to the Jiang Mansion, and the Jiang Mansion can be said to be a generational hairpin with deep roots. And the Yang Mansion, it has been less than a few years since he settled in the imperial city, and Yang Mocheng is also a person who camps everywhere on weekdays, so the only thing the Fang family can think of when something happens is this in-law.
"Don't worry, my father-in-law is invited by the palace, there will be no problem, so many adults have gone. The second uncle and Xianggong have all gone out to find out the news, so let's wait for now. ”
When Fang heard this, his panicked heart slowly stabilized, and he looked at Yan Xiaoyue gratefully, except for Qing'er, who had not grown up yet, Yang Mansion was a woman, and there was nowhere to go if she wanted to ask for news, but fortunately, Xiaoyue was a person who missed her old love.
"This is Qing'er, she looks so cute, she often listens to Xiaoxiao's chatter, and she is about to turn two years old."
"Exactly, come to Qing'er, call the big sister."
Yang Yuqing looked white and chubby, his eyes were like Yang Mocheng, a pair of single phoenix eyes, he looked at Yan Xiaoyue steadily, to be precise, he looked at the ruby Huasheng on Yan Xiaoyue's forehead, and called out softly, "Big sister." ”
"Hey, Qing'er, come, big sister hug and eat candy."
The two-year-old villain's speech is already very clear, coupled with a bright red brocade jacket, which makes Yang Yuqing's lips red and teeth white, which is very cute, and those who are old like the second lady are even more happy.
Because Qing'er was there, the atmosphere in Jiang's mansion suddenly relaxed, and the Fang clan slowly let go after staying for a while.
When the three fathers and sons of the Jiang family came in, they were relieved to see the relatively harmonious scene of Jingrong Yuan, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the ancients have always been superstitious, and it is the most taboo to cry and cry at such a time of reunion on the first day of the 30th year. Even if someone in the house dies at this time, it will have to wait until the second year of junior high school to mourn.
As soon as Jiang Zheng and the three of them came back, a room full of people greeted them, and the second lady hurriedly asked, "Second master, but what happened?" How is the old man and the old lady? ”
Jiang Zheng sat on the main seat, took the hot tea handed by the second lady and took a sip, "Alas, it's messy, it's all messy outside." Not only in our palace, but also in the imperial city, the first-class officials who can speak in the court have all entered the palace, and they haven't come out yet. I heard that something happened in the palace, the emperor was unconscious, and he suspected that someone was poisoned at the palace banquet, and now the king of Jin was ordered to control the overall situation. ”
"Then why haven't the old man and the old lady come back?"
Yan Xiaoyue didn't have the same problem as the second lady, she glanced at Jiang Siyan, and saw him frowning tightly, it seems that things are not as simple as Jiang Second Master said. (To be continued.) )
