Chapter 185: Can't Be Happy

Xu Qirong was a little surprised that Frost would invite Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru to go to Yuwang's Mansion together. It's not that Frost is so lonely, it's just that she is curious about why Frost knows that her house has a guest.

When I arrived at Yuwang's Mansion, I saw Xiao Tan, the personal maid next to Shuang Lian, standing at the door talking to the guards at the door, and seeing the carriage of Xu's Mansion arriving, Xiao Tan's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward to greet people.

After seeing Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, Xiao Tan smiled and said to Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui: "This is Miss Shen San and Miss Shen Si, right?" The slave maid said hello to the two young ladies. My county lord is now waiting for a few young ladies in the Epiphany Garden! ”

Shen Yaru's eyes were still a little red and swollen because she had cried, which could not be completely covered by fat powder. Xiao Tan should have seen it too, but she didn't move and didn't mention anything.

Shen Yaru smiled, stuffed a pair of thin gold bracelets into Xiao Tan's hand through the cover of the sleeves, and said, "The first time I came to the door, it turned out that our sisters were a little presumptuous. ”

Sending this kind of extremely fine gold bracelet not only shows that you attach importance to it, but also does not show a kind of nouveau riche copper smell because it is too valuable, and this kind of fine bracelet has always been favored by the well-informed big girls like Xiaotan.

The smile on Xiao Tan's face was even more excited, and he joked with a smile: "The first time I came was the first time I came to the door, and the next time I came back, it would be a regular customer." ”

As he spoke, he led people to the Epiphany Garden.

When Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong saw this scene, they nodded secretly in their hearts, no wonder the eldest uncle was relieved to let Cousin Ru follow the third uncle and others to Xijing City.

When I arrived at Tanxiang Garden, I saw Shuang Lian wearing a homely dress on weekdays and sitting on the swing frame in a daze. Turning his head, he saw the Xu sisters and the two little ladies who had never seen them coming, so he got up and greeted them, and complained: "Why did you only arrive here?" ”

Xu Qijin said with a smile: "Why is the county lord so anxious today? Earlier. Sister Rong went back to Ruyi Lane with her father, but it was too late. ”

Then he pointed to the two cousins and introduced Shuang Lian: "This is my third cousin, whose girlfriend name is Shen Yaru, and this is my fourth cousin, whose girlfriend name is Shen Yahui." This is the Lord of Frost. ”

Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui hurriedly saluted Shuang Lian: "Yaru and Yahui greet the county lord." ”

Shen Yahui saluted, and quietly raised her eyes to look at the county lord of frost mercy, and saw that the dress of the county lord of frost mercy was very different from the appearance of the princess in the play. I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Shuang Lian originally called their sisters because she was afraid that the Xu sisters would have to entertain guests and would not have time to come to the appointment, but at this time, she saw Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui one calm and the other bold. I couldn't help but think it was funny, so I smiled and said, "I don't talk about these etiquette here." Since you are the cousins of Sister Jin and Sister Rong, you don't have to be restrained here, I was originally looking for you to come over and talk. ”

Shen Yaru smiled: "First meeting." Gifts must not be abolished. But since the lord of the county is gracious. In private, Sister Hui and I are more casual, and the county lord can't say that our sisters don't understand etiquette. ”

Shuang Lian thought that their sisters would also be like other little ladies to excuse themselves, but she didn't expect Shen Yaru to say such a thing of knowing how to advance and retreat, and she couldn't help but smile a little more on her face: "It's good if people don't say that I don't know the number of etiquette, where is my turn to talk about others!" ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong have been friends with Shuang Lian for many years, and as soon as they heard this, they knew that there was something wrong with Shuang Lian's mood, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

When Shuang Lian saw Xu Qijin ask this, she did not shy away from Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui. knew that these two people were reliable, and they didn't hide it at the moment. Pouted, he said: "It's not that Laoshi son Su Xiaoyi's mother, I don't know which tendon in her brain is broken, in front of the imperial uncle, I said that I am obedient, my third cousin is a man of Swenwen, and he inevitably wronged others, and he picked eight well-informed palace maids from the palace, saying that they were for me to dowry!" ”

Xu Qijin was stunned, and Xu Qirong felt that something was wrong: "It's just a little Yi Niangniang of Shu Wupin, how can she discuss the marriage of the county lord?" ”

Shuang Lian hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back, and said, "It's not because of Chen Jinling's stupidity!" ”

Shen Yahui asked Xu Qirong in a low voice: "Who is Chen Jinling?" ”

Xu Qirong lowered his voice and said, "Little Wangye." ”

Shen Yahui snorted.

The maids consciously stepped aside and waited when the little ladies began to speak, so Shuang Lian didn't care about it, and without waiting for Xu Qijin to ask, she said directly: "Su Xiaoyi and Su Liangdi went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense, and met an assassin, and Su Xiaoyi was slightly injured. ”

Xu Qijin was surprised: "What's the matter with the little prince?" ”

Shuang Lian pouted: "It's all because Chen Jinling has to do what he wants to do to command the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, a few days ago, the whole city searched for assassins under martial law, Chen Jinling didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and found a few assassins, but they were all corpses." The emperor's uncle was furious and reprimanded Chen Jinling. Su Xiaoyi ran out and said good things to him, saying that his injury was not serious or something, and then somehow said that I was obedient and wanted to marry me. ”

Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru didn't know what Xiaoyi's position was, and they couldn't understand it, but Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong understood that something happened to the beauties in their harem in Xijing City, although it was only a small injury, but it was enough for Emperor Chen Gan to have a complaint about Chen Jinling, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Sending a dowry to Shuang Lian, on the surface, it was given by Su Xiaoyi, but in fact, I am afraid that Emperor Chen Qian is taking this opportunity to knock on Yuwangfu!

Otherwise, a five-grade Xiaoyi, even if he gets the favor again, even if he has the courage to do so, he will not dare to propose to give the county lord a dowry!

Those eight well-informed and reasonable women of the palace are docile and beautiful like flowers, and they were obviously sent over to the third young master Guan to be concubines!

Xu Qijin sighed: "Even you can't be as good as you want, everything goes well!" ”

Frost told them about it, but she didn't want them to make up her mind. Those eight people were sent to Yuwang's Mansion together with the Holy Decree, and their little ladies, no matter how smart they were, had no way to resist the Decree and disrespect them. The reason why I told them was that I was bored and panicked by myself, and I just wanted to talk to someone.

Hearing Xu Qijin's emotion, he said strangely: "Who else is unhappy?" ”

Shen Yaru's entangled matter is not very glorious, Xu Qijin is not good to tell this matter directly to the county lord of Shuang Lian, so he plans to fool the past with a few words.

Who knew that Shen Yaru listened to Shuang Lian's troubles, but she felt that she knew other people's secrets, and it would be too stingy to hide her own little things. So, before Xu Qijin could speak, Shen Yaru spoke first: "Speaking of which, Yaru came today to inquire about someone from the county lord." ”

Then he told Mrs. Yang's grandson about pestering her, and then said: "The people of the Yang family said that they carried me through the door as a flat wife, and at least I will be a side lady in the future." It can be seen that the family background of that person should be quite prominent. Yaru wanted to inquire with the county lord, had the county lord ever heard of such a person? ”

Shuang Lian suddenly became interested and asked, "The Yang family refuses to say what his surname is?" ”

Shen Yaru shook her head: "My father and my brother have also asked people to investigate, but the Yang family moved to Jinzhou from Suzhou, and Mrs. Yang has a total of three daughters, the husbands of the eldest daughter and the second daughter are both businessmen, and they have also had dealings, but the third daughter can't find out who the husband's family is." ”

Shuang Lian frowned: "This is strange, I know a lot of prominent families, I have never heard of whose in-laws are merchants in the cloth business." What's more, if that person is really illustrious, how can he be raised in the Yang family? There's something weird about it. ”

Xu Qirong thought about it and said busily: "That person also came to Xijing City." ”

Shen Yaru couldn't guess the identity of that person when she saw Shuang Lian, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Shen Yahui sneered: "Third sister, don't be afraid, it's a big deal, it's a big deal......

In the end, she is a little lady who has never seen anything in the world, where has she ever encountered such a thing, and she has talked about it for a long time, and she has not said a result.

Frost pity: "Since you have come to me, I have no reason to ignore it. Yuwangfu has been eventful recently, if that person is still far away in Jinzhou, it will be fine, since he has come to Xijing City, he must not check it. And relax, I asked Chen Jinling to send someone to check whether it was Li Kui or Li Ghost, and then I would talk about it. ”

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong didn't expect Shuang Lian to be so enthusiastic, they were slightly surprised, and then they heard Shuang Lian's rare serious words: "Don't thank me too much." I'm not all here to help you, either. There is weirdness in this matter, and the assassin a few days ago is also a little weird, if that person really wants to force Sister Ru to marry, he only needs to force Sister Ru's parents in Jinzhou, why bother to come to Xijing City, but this time is coming. I know it, and I don't feel at ease if I don't check it. ”

As soon as Shuang Lian's words came out, the others didn't think too much, but Xu Qirong was shocked in his heart and understood.

Although she didn't know what was strange about the assassin a few days ago, she looked at it in connection with the events of her previous life, but she also guessed a few points.

Now the crown prince is twenty-eight years old, the saint is still healthy, and there are already many people speculating inside and outside the court, whether the saint can't help but abolish the incompetent old prince, or the old prince can't help but force the palace first.

In the entire Xinchen Kingdom, nearly one-fifth of the military power is in the hands of Yang Jingcheng, and one-half of the military power is in the hands of Yu Wangye. Yang Jingcheng inherited General Yang's legacy at a young age to resist foreign aggression, and his own soldiers were personally formed by General Yang, so it was naturally difficult for others to interfere.

The soldiers in the hands of Prince Yu are half guarding Jiannanguan and Yaozhou, a quarter are guarding Laizhou, and a quarter are guarding the capital.

Prince Yu is loyal, and with him, Xijing City can be said to be impregnable. Unless Emperor Chen Qiandi had other ideas about Yuwangfu, he would destroy the Great Wall. If the old prince wants to ascend the throne in advance, I am afraid that there is only one way to start from King Yu's mansion.

Xu Qirong hid her face of horror, she always thought that as long as she avoided the Hua family, the Shen family would be free of everything. Now it seems that she was wrong. (To be continued......)
