Chapter 108: Military Power
The crumpled letter paper turned red in the flames and then to ashes in an instant. Mu Hui got up and left the room, and Xiao Duo and Xiao Ju stood in the yard smiling and clearing the snow although they had frostbite in many places.
"You two just can't be idle, come and give me the shovel in your hand!"
The two looked at Mu Hui's expression, not a joke, and immediately handed over the shovel and said, "Miss, although the snow has stopped, the temperature is very low, you have been beaten again, it is better to go back to the house to rest." ”
Mu Hui sighed and began to clear the snow on the ground. It was useless for the sunset and the moon to come to dissuade her, everyone watched her keep shoveling the snow and doing the snow very decently, and the fur hat on her head was emitting white smoke......
Except for Xiao Ju and Xiao Duo, no one has ever seen such a desperate young lady. Under Mu Hui's active drive, the snow in the yard was cleared in just one hour.
Mu Hui stared at the sunset and said expectantly, "Can you do me a favor?" ”
"That's what Miss commands."
"Help me inquire if Qing Shui is awake and where are you now?"
Sunset nodded and responded, "Yes." And he left the courtyard.
Hu Shi was dressed in a white fur jacket and walked out of the gate of Nanrong Mansion with steady steps. A peacock blue carriage outside the door saw Hu Shi coming out, and immediately greeted him and saluted, saying, "Miss, the master knows that you have returned home today and specially sent me to pick you up." ”
"It's such a cold day, Uncle Lao Li."
The carriage left two deep marks on the snow-covered streets, and along the way, Hu kept wondering why her father wanted to see her.
Over the years, as long as the Taishi wants to see her, there will be all kinds of things for her to do. This time she didn't know what it would be like.
Taishifu is the place that the Hu family is most familiar with, and she once spent a not-so-good childhood here. At that time, her mother died, and her father devoted himself to studying the art of immortality. The house is filled with the smell of various herbs. In search of the best dansa, he even travels to various neighboring countries all year round. She was alone in this Taishi Mansion and was bullied by the maids-in-law.
Every time she came to the Taishi Mansion, she would always think of these unhappy pasts, although those maids and wives died miserably, but they covered her childhood with a thick layer of dust.
"Lan'er, you're here."
Hu Shi looked up and found that he had arrived in the main hall, and his father was standing beside him with white hair but a red face.
"Daddy, Brother Mu asked me to say hello to you for him, and brought you some southern fruits by the way. There is also a good satin on qiē, so give it to Erniang to buy clothes. ”
"Lan'er has a heart. Sit down, Daddy has something to tell you. ”
Hu was afraid of his expression, and every time such an expression appeared on his face, there would always be some very strange requests. With a somewhat far-fetched smile on her face, she said, "Daddy, you just tell me." ”
The Taishi immediately waved his hand, and all the maids and women who were waiting beside him left the lobby very interestingly. Only father and daughter were left in the lobby, quiet, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
"Lan'er, what I asked you to do this time is a matter of importance. If you do it well this time, we will definitely enjoy endless wealth and glory. ”
Hu Xilan's face was a little ugly. But she still reluctantly said with a smile: "Daddy, what am I going to do?" ”
"You find me a man who was born at the beginning of the first month of the first month, and a woman who was born at the end of the tenth month. Just send them secretly to my house. ”
Hu Xilan's face turned pale. She frowned and said to the Grand Master, "Dad, do you really want to do this?" You know that you can't live forever! Why go to all the trouble of doing these things? ”
The Taishi immediately said to her sternly: "You can do it with confidence. I will take care of everything. This is also something that the Holy One acquiesces in. If the lives of these people can be exchanged for the immortality of His Highness, it will also be their creation. ”
Hu Xilan sighed and asked with some concern: "Can you wait for Han'er and Xian Yurui to get married?" ”
Taishi stroked a handful of white beards and said, "Things must be done as much as possible." The saint's health has been getting worse and worse lately, and he can't wait. ”
Hu Xilan nodded and whispered, "Okay." By the way, Dad, do you still want to eat steamed cakes? I'll do it for you now. ”
I saw that the Taishi waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, wanting to eat steamed cakes is an excuse." I've always taken pills. ”
Hu Xilan watched as the Taishi gently stroked his beard and walked towards the alchemy room next to him.
Outside the window, a little maid heard this qiē in her ears. She tiptoed back into the courtyard and began to clear the snow with the other men.
When the news reached Xian Yurui's ears, it was already evening. He hurriedly walked from the south gate of the palace to the second prince's bedroom. Chaoyang Palace.
The second prince was reading a book in the study, and heard Xiao Shunzi shouting: "Xian Yu Rui Gongzi asks to see." He slammed to his feet. I saw that Xian Yurui had already walked into his study. Xiao Shunzi left very interestingly.
The second prince frowned and asked, "Is there something important that you came over in such a hurry at such a late hour?" ”
Xian Yu Rui said solemnly: "Yes, according to reliable information, the Taishi is going to do it again." A man born on the first day of the tenth lunar month, and a woman born on the thirty-first day of the tenth lunar month. And he borrowed Hu Xilan's hand to do it. ”
The second prince smashed his fist on the pillar next to him, and said fiercely: "He is too ruthless." I don't let go of my own daughter. If these people really come into his hands, I am afraid that they will be more than lucky. These days, you find someone to keep an eye on Hu Xilan and Nanrong Muhan. If not, you can go to Nam Rong Province in person. I sent someone to keep an eye on the Taishi Mansion. If they get the handle in our hands again this time, we'll have a chance to bring him down! ”
Xian Yurui nodded but shook his head and said, "It's no problem for me to go to Nanrong Mansion, Nanrong Muhan can't wait for me to go." But you thought that without him, he would dare to be so blatant, and it must have been tacitly approved by the saints of today. Even the eldest prince, who is the crown prince, turns a blind eye, is it really useful for us to catch the handle? ”
The second prince glanced at Xian Yurui and said, "When you get married, your father will definitely hand over the talisman to your eldest son." With Xian Yujia's military power, I am not afraid of anything! ”
Half of the military power of the country is the military power of the family. Half of it is the military power of the Gongyi family. The Gongyi family has always been non-involved in the royal struggle, and only loyal to the emperor who summoned the country. There is also the Nanrong family who guards the border pass.
Xian Yurui's eyes were gloomy and said, "I think you know very well who the person I want to marry is." Now that I am married to Salted Fish Muhan against my will, I still have a real headache. ”
"The eldest husband is informal, even if Nanrong Muhan marries you, if you are strong and don't like her in the future, you can still divorce your wife and marry another. If you are not strong enough, even if you marry the woman you love the most, you may be snatched away, and you will not even have a chance to fight back. ”
Xian Yurui nodded and said, "I understand." Just do what you say. I'll take my leave. (To be continued.) )
