Jiang Mingyuan smiled sympathetically, "He was called back by Mrs. Huining to see the little girl." Originally, he was reluctant to go back, but Mrs. Huining sent Xia Huyi to deliver the message, and Xia Zhilin was afraid that Mrs. Huining would have to forcibly take Brother Kang home. ”

Xia Huyi is Xia Zhikang's brother-in-law, and he is Zeng's right-hand man in the mansion.

Xia Zhongzheng and the others had no secrets, and they all knew that Mrs. Huining was going to give Xia Zhikangna a concubine, and said with a smile: "I won't go to Qixiangju to play." Let's go to Hoi Nyeong. I'll see what the fourth aunt has secrets. ”

After that, he called an entourage to go to Qixiangju to send a message to his brother-in-law Zhang Yubo, and then turned around and headed to the west of the city.

Jiang Mingyuan raised his heroic thick eyebrows, smiled and hurriedly caught up.

The Wenqu Academy is located in the northeast of the Imperial Palace.

At this time, Ying got out of school, sat in the carriage and was going back to the south of the city, and walked to the cross street and turned south. Suddenly, several fast horses galloped by. Laixiang, who was so startled that he was in a hurry, hurriedly slowed down.

Ying Ze lifted the curtain and looked out, and the four brocade horses were heading west, startling the people on the street to dodge away.

In the prosperous area of the capital city, those who can ride horses are not princely families or officials of the fourth rank or above.

You should recognize the backs of those people, and wonder why you didn't see Xia Zhikang.

Laiguo sat next to Laixiang, naturally saw those people clearly, flattened his mouth, turned around and whispered: "I heard that Mrs. Ji'an took the girl from Chengguofu to Huining Mansion today." ”

"Oh", we won't find out more about this until tomorrow. Ying Ze has also learned not to be in a hurry now, Rong'er said, anyway, she will not arrive at the wedding date until she is married, and she will be prepared in all aspects first.

The carriage marched unhurriedly towards Anping Mansion. After a while, he arrived at home, and went to say goodbye to his mother first, but he didn't see Rong'er. I went to the Dong'an Courtyard, which was being renovated.

Rong'er was counting the time at this time, and was waiting for the second brother under the Tsubaki tree in Dong'an Courtyard.

A white shadow came, and Rong'er turned around and saw that it was the second brother, and smiled.

"The **** Xia Zhikang really wants to take a concubine first." Although Ying Ze didn't like Xia Zhikang, he couldn't tolerate such a thing in his heart until the marriage between Rong'er and Xia Zhikang was completely resolved.

Rong'er shook her body twice with a smile, "I wish he had a few more concubines." ”

"I heard that Mrs. Ji'an took the girl from Chengguo Mansion to Huining Mansion in the morning. Just on Cross Street. The crown prince and Jiang Mingyuan quickly went west, probably going to Huining Mansion. Ying Ze's voice was low, and his expression was very displeased.

Rong'er pulled him to sit down at the stone table under a bush of green bamboos next to him. whispered: "I went to the bookstore in the morning and met Yun'er and dog meat." ”

"But I heard that Xia Zhikang doesn't like dog meat, and thinks she's too rustic to be on the table." Ying Ze's face was full of disdain, remembering something. He asked, "Did you go to the bookstore today and find the book you were looking for?" ”

Rong'er shook her head. "Brother Youxin said that he has two friends in Dongping Prefecture, and now he has come to the capital to study, they have many friends, and they have everything from the third-rate Nine Sects, many of which are strange and strange, and he went out to ask his friends for help these days."

"Don't miss your studies with faith." should be sensible, really have a manly style and thinking, and look like a brother.

"How could I have missed his studies. His homework is much more solid than yours. Dad said that there is a letter and there is no problem at all. Rong'er smiled happily. The second brother looks so cute like this.

"Nothing else." The eyebrows should be twisted.

"Let's go see the decoration."

The brother and sister walked down the corridor.

this night.

There was some quietness in the Xing'an Courtyard of Huining Mansion.

"It is said that it is difficult for relatives to cut off family affairs. I asked the queen to persuade the emperor to ignore the rumors outside, why is the emperor so partial to Anping Mansion? I'm always afraid that I'll be bullied by Ningfu and Anping Mansion? "Tsang's costume faded. Dressed in light casual clothes, although his plump body is a little rich, he still has a girlish demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looks at the man in white who is reclining on the yellow rosewood chaise longue with half a delicate and half puzzled.

Qiao Lian and Qiao Xin wore plain white clothes, and gently beat Xia Shize's body with a leisurely expression.

Xia Shi likes to see the girlish charm between his wife's eyebrows and eyes, and the beauties around him have been like clouds for many years, and they can't take away his special love for her.

Madame's words didn't get into his ears much, looking at her young woman's posture, girlish expression, but deep and ruthless, he liked this somewhat contradictory combination.

Zeng's eyes touched the special thing in his eyes, the girl's shyness floated slightly, came over to snuggle next to him, and said angrily: "Why do you say that the emperor is partial to Anping Mansion?" ”

Xia Shi didn't answer anymore, put a hand on her still delicate face, and asked with a smile, "Why does the queen believe you?" ”

Zeng's eyes were straight.

Qiao Lian and Qiao Xin's white clothes fluttered outside.

Xia Shi sat up, holding his wife's tight and slightly round waist with one hand, and his eyes swept a hint of deepness, "What are you worried about?" I can't run away left or right. ”

"Of course I believe my man has the ability to do this. But with such a deal, how can Kang'er understand this? He was also fascinated by Ying Rong'er, a look of infatuation, I said to take a concubine, and in the afternoon he actually collided with me in front of the prince. I was not there when I first came to the house, I heard that it was a little girl from the countryside, and this time it was only a few days, and she was able to change her person. Zeng was a little worried, the mother and son turned their faces for the first time in the afternoon.

Xia Shi laughed a few times, and his son somewhat understood, "You are too anxious about this." ”

"In a few days, the emperor will ask you and Ying Qingyuan to set up a birthday wine for Ying Rong'er in Yamato Building. is only thirteen years old, and it is not a concubine, so it is so grand, as if this is a royal marriage. "The Zeng family has its own plans, of course nervous, if the emperor intervenes more, the more difficult it will be to destroy this marriage.

"I think Ying Rong'er, if you can listen to us, you will definitely not be worse than you in the future." Xia Shi can't say everything to women.

"You—" Zeng whispered as he put his mouth to his ear.

Xia Shi's eyes lit up, his expression became more calm, and he whispered: "The more this is the case, the more you have to let the Wen family not go too far." Otherwise, you will be in a dilemma. ”

"Hmm. However, I plan to officially leave Gou Ruyun in the mansion and train myself. Zeng said.

"Whatever you want. If you really teach you to become a talent. That's also creation. Xia Shize stood up and said gently, "I'll go see Kang'er." He didn't come to see me at night. ”

"It's all you're used to. Why is Lao Tzu so wise. The son was a little confused. Zeng pouted.

Xia Shi lifted her chin and smiled, "Wasn't this son born to you too?" ”

Zeng lowered his head, his eyes slightly red, "You have to persuade him well." Manly doctor, you have to know the severity of the matter. ”

Xia Shi walked slowly towards Jinglan Courtyard.

Xia Zhikang slept on the couch chair in the house, stilting Erlang's legs and still sulking from his mother.

Coldly, my father came to the front silently. was so frightened that he turned over, but Xia Shi had already stopped him and asked him to sit down.

"What are you vomiting for a little girl and your mother? It's silly. Xia Shi sat down next to him.

Xia Zhikang was pampered by his parents since he was a child. But when facing my father, I was always a little nervous, and my father suddenly came over at night, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He stammered, "Dad." You should understand the current situation. Let's not say that I like Ying Rong'er. Just talk about the situation. The emperor did not allow princes to do anything that hurt their faith. What's more, Huining Mansion is a royal family. ”

"The prince taught you, right? Didn't he come to the house in the afternoon to support you? Xia Shi looked at his son lovingly, and that gaze was always at a child who couldn't run.

"Daddy. I'm not small anymore. I go to court with you every day, and now the gangsters are all comforted by the six pins of cloud riding. I really don't understand why my mother and aunt have to make a fuss. Does Anping Mansion have an enmity with us? Xia Zhikang's face was full of grievances.

"What women have in their families is a little careful. It's really unjust karma. Ying Rong'er was injured and just woke up, it was the day after you went to visit, your mother went to Chiyun Temple to offer incense, encountered a strange thing, and met a wandering monk who said that she and her current daughter-in-law had a conflict. If she didn't break the engagement, she wouldn't have lived for more than two years. Your mother didn't believe it. The priest said that Ying Rong'er had a catastrophe this year, and if he died, your mother would be saved. If Ying Rong'er passes that calamity, she will have a long life. No matter how much I persuade your mother, it's useless, no wonder your mother believes too deeply. That Fang Shi is indeed magical, in Dongping Prefecture practice for many years, almost not walking in the red dust, this Mid-Autumn Festival should be invited by Chiyun Temple, as soon as he arrived at Chiyun Temple, he met your mother, he saw your mother and said that she has a son, a daughter, even you and your sister where there are moles on the body can be said, and also said a few things about your two hours, that matter except for me and your mother no one knows.

"This thing makes your mother feel sick. Your third aunt and your mother have always been inseparable, worried about your mother, so they secretly found a coat to see you and Ying Rong'er's eight characters, that person also said that Ying Rong'er is Sirius in Canis Major, your mother is just a little sheep star in the constellation of Major, your mother can't stand Ying Rong'er's chongke, saying that Ying Rong'er must be seriously ill before she is fifteen years old, and her daughter-in-law carries her into the door, and her mother-in-law will lose her life. Your aunt was afraid that your mother would not believe it, so she secretly invited the man to Ji'an Mansion, and after your mother went to Ji'an Mansion to see that person, she asked a lot of questions, and the person also said a few old things that outsiders did not know, and the illness in your mother's heart became more serious. Xia Shi reluctantly told the truth.

Xia Zhikang opened his mouth in shock, no wonder his mother, who had always behaved modestly, would allow his aunt to do something like this.

"You know I love your mother. I saw that she was serious. secretly found another Fang Shi to predict, saying that it was indeed somewhat similar. At that time, the exchange of your birthday stickers, no one has ever combined the eight characters for you, I think the two families are rich and rooted people, since childhood, you have both been born with gold, Fulu Shouxi is a very healthy person, who would have thought that those who looked at the original also did not dare to tell us the details? Xia Shi frowned slightly.

Xia Zhikang didn't know what to do.

"I didn't come to see you to persuade you to obey your mother. A manly man, everything goes well to be loyal to the monarch and filial piety, and he follows the trend. Actually, I don't know what to do. You can't say these things to the prince, it's good to wear a pair of pants, and if you have to, you still have to go here before you can go out. Xia Shi gently tapped his head with his left index finger.

"And. The complicated situation in the palace will be seen. Don't be a dead brain. Xia Shi patted his son on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Dad..."Xia Zhikang habitually stuck in front of his father.

Of course, Xia Shi understood, and smiled, "Ying Rong'er is fine." It's okay to be like a cloud. In the future, it will be the daughter of another Houmen. You just have to be yourself. You will be my heir in the future. Don't let people say that you are too far behind Lao Tzu. ”

"Hmm." Xia Zhikang is tame and simple in front of his father.

"Your mother loves you so much, don't make her sad. If there is a naïve answer to Fang Shi's words..."Xia Shi flashed a ray of melancholy in his eyes, and sighed, "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's the will of heaven." We can't deliberately find Rong'er's fault for this. ”

"Daddy." Xia Zhikang was told by his father to tears, and when he thought that he really responded to what Fang Shi said, his mother went early, and his heart hurt.

"You have a good rest. Dad went back to the room. Xia Shi lovingly stroked his head and walked out.

Xia Zhikang followed out, and until his father's figure disappeared, he returned to the house, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and went into the bedroom to rest.

**

The inner courtyard of Chengguofu's house is brightly lit and very busy.

A few maids helped her pack up several boxes of things in Ruyun's house, and Gou Ruyun will go to Huining Mansion tomorrow.

Ai Shi sat on a chair, saw that it was almost cleaned up, called the maids out, and said to Gou Ruyun who was standing next to him: "I went to Huining Mansion later." You are Mrs. Huining's person. You have to have a head in everything, although you will marry Xia Zhikang in the future, you have to recognize the situation, your big master is Mrs. Huining. In the future, don't be fascinated by Xia Zhikang and forget the main master. Xia Zhikang is too young now, and he can't see through many things, if you want to be in charge of Huining Mansion in the future, not only will Mrs. Huining carry you up, but you will also have to learn her skills. ”

Yun'er ate and laughed on the side, "Like clouds." You will climb on top of us in the future, but don't forget that you are a relative of my Chengguofu. ”

Gou Ruyun's eyes were red, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Ruyun forgot who." I didn't dare to forget the kindness of Chengguofu. If it weren't for you, how could my grandfather's family be willing to take in my father and mother for a long time, so that my father could study with peace of mind? Your kindness to me is reinvented. I am a poor girl in the deep mountains, and now I have come out with you, and I have met Mrs. Ji'an and Mrs. Huining, and I have a long road ahead of me. Even if it is smooth sailing, Ruyun does not dare to get carried away and be ungrateful. ”

"We believe that. After all, everyone is on the same road, and there are benefits. Remember what I said, Mrs. Huining is your big master, even in front of the Marquis of Huining, you have to pay attention. Don't accidentally hurt Mrs. Huining's heart in order to please Hou Huining. Ehrlich emphasized.

"Yes." Gou Ruyun hung his head, very deferential. After meeting Mrs. Huining, she didn't maintain her original words and deeds, and at this time she was already a girl like Yun'er.

Ai Shi said again: "Don't look at Xia Zhikang's face as the crown prince in the afternoon and Mrs. Huining's face, you can't see the personnel clearly." Xia Zhikang's future road still depends on his father. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, how the crown prince treats Xia Zhikang will not be seen until he succeeds to the throne in the future. Therefore, Mrs. Huining wants to be personally trained and cultivated by Xia Zhikang's side. (To be continued.) )
