"It's too late, Yu Ning, am I dizzy? It's only the end of the day. ”

Pei Shi chuckled, "Yes, you two don't fight with immortals, and the little ghost suffers." Shall I let the maids set the meal first? ”

Old Madam Qi glanced at Old Madam Zheng with a smile, and said to Pei's family: "Okay, just listen to you, let's set the meal first." ”

In Qinhua Hall, it was immediately quiet and orderly busy, the arrival of Mrs. Zheng made Mrs. Qi very happy, among the children, there were Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng in the lead to make the two of them happy, and the banquet was also happy.

At this time, at the second gate, behind the black covered carriage of Su Jiang Fengyue, who carried Mrs. Zheng and Xu Mingcheng here, the three black carriages containing the gifts given by Mrs. Zheng to Mrs. Qi were pulled to the front yard and parked under the command of a steward who came with Mrs. Zheng.

After arriving at the warehouse in the front yard of Xufu, the servants in the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally surrounded the three carriages, and on the carriage, the people who were shrouded in wide cloaks got down, and everyone gathered around him into a side room under the corridor, and everyone was busy as if nothing had happened.

In the wing room, there were only two people sitting at this time, Xu Rong and Xu Xi.

After the man came in, both of them got up, first Xu Rong called the eldest brother, and then Xu Xi saluted: "Uncle Tang." ”

Stretched out his hand and took off the brim of his hat, the person who came was the old lady in the second room of the Xu family, the former Sanqing, and Xu Luo in the door.

"Okay, don't be polite, sit down."

Xu Luo, only one year older than Xu Rong, is forty and five this year, clear and calm, and upright.

"I also received a notice from Meng Hai yesterday afternoon, the emperor deliberately removed Old Man Qu from the position of Liaodong General Army!"

Meng Hai, the current chief of the inner servant, is the first celebrity before the saint.

Old man Zhai, Zhai Ran, Huanchuan Zhai family, guarded the border of eastern Liaodong all his life, and had countless military achievements, and he was a well-deserved hero.

"Yes, I've been aware of that lately." Xu Rong slowly rubbed the edge of the purple sand tea bowl, feeling a little cold in his heart.

The merit is high and the lord is old, and the saint is suspicious of the old man Zhai!

But Xu Luo and Xu Ei, together with Old Man Zhai, are old men who assisted Emperor Zhou Hui for almost a lifetime, although they have already read through the history books, but in the end, when everything is exactly the same that happens again along this trajectory, they are sad after all.

"Uncle Cousin, father, this is the candidate I prepared last night, please decide."

Xu Luo took the list handed by Xu Xi, nodded with satisfaction after taking a look, and then handed it to Xu Rong on the side.

After reading it, Xu Rong also nodded and said, "Xiqi, just send someone according to this list, and be sure to send the news to Zhai Yan before the holy decree arrives." "Xi Qi, Xu Xi's word.

Zhai Yan, Zhai Ran's eldest son, is scheming, upright and not pedantic. Compared with his father, his eyes are a little more vicious. Xu Luo and Xu Rong both felt that it was too time-consuming for Old Man Zhai to transfer the news to Zhai Yan instead of directly leaking the news to Old Man Zhai.

"Yes."

The three of them discussed all the details and arrangements a few more times, and Xu Xi retreated.

Xu Luo and Xu Rong were also silent for a while.

"I asked you to think about it, have you thought about it?" After a while, Xu Luo asked casually.

"I've thought about it, but I still think that several princes have mixed reputations, and now they are all too young to see who is particularly prominent." Xu Rong groaned.

"yes." Xu Luo got up and half-leaned on the couch behind him: "The saint is not young, but he has no intention of establishing a plan. The eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince are all only twelve years old this year, but they have already shown their ruthlessness. I just got the tip, this time the three princes went south, and the honor guard was ambushed on the way, and the traces of the fight along the way never stopped. ”

Today's Emperor Zhou Hui has eighteen sons under his knees, but all of them are young, the eldest prince is only twelve years old, and he was born in the same year as the second prince and the third prince, and the youngest eighteen princes are still babies waiting to be fed!

"At a young age, he has been decisive, and he is not the choice of Renjun."

Xu Luo nodded, agreeing with Xu Rong's point of view, but they were silent at the same time, when the Xu family chose to stand in line before the death of the first emperor, didn't they just think that Emperor Zhou Hui had the appearance of a benevolent monarch? But the result?

Xufu

Akado

After breakfast, Xu Xuan's four brothers went to the clan school, leaving Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan here to accompany Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng to talk.

To be specific, only Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng are talking with these two, and Xu Youshan has always sat at the bottom, bowing her head and not speaking.

"Okay, okay, you three little girls just go out to play, don't stay here with our two old women." Old Madam Zheng took Xu Yourong's hand and suddenly smiled.

After Mrs. Zheng came, Pei asked Xu Youshan to come forward and salute, which could be regarded as an official appearance in front of her old man.

Old Madam Zheng only glanced at her deeply, then smiled and removed the flower-shaped jade bracelet inlaid with cat's eye on her wrist and put it in Xu Youshan's hand.

"I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare, so this can be regarded as a greeting gift."

This flower-shaped jade bracelet inlaid with cat's eye stone is very precious, but what is even more important is that Mrs. Zheng took it off her wrist, so Xu Youshan can't accept it.

"Uncle Cousin, this ceremony... You're giving too much of a gift. ”

At the very least, you can't just take it like that.

"Heh" Mrs. Zheng laughed softly, but the bracelet was placed in Xu Youshan's hand, and in an instant, Xu Youshan's hand was almost burned by the jade bracelet.

"Sister Shan, take it, this is also your cousin's grandmother's love for you."

Xu Yourong, who had been watching from the sidelines, pursed her lips and looked away when she heard this voice, her mother had built a ladder for Xu Youshan, so she would not be able to fall into the well again.

Sure enough, Xu Youshan followed Pei's words and thanked him for accepting the bracelet, and returned to his seat.

Old Madam Zheng glanced at Pei, and then looked back at Old Madam Qi, but found that Old Madam Qi was drinking tea lightly and did not ...... Unhappy.

Surprised, her face was not revealed, Old Madam Zheng laughed and spoke again, Pei Shi would not dismiss her, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng also echoed on the side.

And those who can't even go along sit quietly in the corner.

Xu Yourong is the eldest daughter of the Xu family in Jiangzuo, with a noble identity and the pride of the sky, she has always been the object of favor by the elders in the clan, but she is proud but not brutal, delicate but not indulgent, and has a seven-trick exquisite heart.

When Mrs. Zheng suddenly took her hand and said this, her mother also got up, saying that there was indeed something to be busy in the early autumn hall, and she pulled Xu Mingxi, who was unknown, and got up.

"This is what Uncle Cousin and Grandmother said, don't say it again after a while, we dislike your old man and talk too much."

Old Madam Qi and Old Madam Zheng suddenly had a smile in their eyes, and Old Madam Zheng was even more angry: "Look at it, look at it, this girl has a good mouth!" ”

Xu Yourong didn't reply, and ran out after saluting with Xu Ming's grin, and didn't forget to glare at Xu Youshan before leaving, signaling her to follow.

Xu Youshan was stunned by Xu Yourong's glare, and she had to retreat with her.

In the end, the maids and ladies in the room were all led by Mama Lu to send Pei out, and when only Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng were left in the house, the faces of the two who had been smiling all sank.
