Chapter 606: Luxury
It's not that Xiao Xue'er is not important.
Xiao Xue'er is his own sister, can he not be in pain?
can take An Rong to exchange for Xiao Xue'er, Xiao Qian can't do it.
An Rong still has a wooden bracelet of the Xiao family on his wrist, that is, An Rong was kidnapped, and he took his life and his father General Xiao's life in exchange, and it had to be exchanged.
The Xiao Guo Mansion must protect An Rong's thoughtfulness.
The men of the Xiao family have a kind of stubbornness, they are very stubborn, and they can't be persuaded at all.
An Rong didn't persuade her, she said, "If I can escape once, I can escape a second time, and Xue'er can't escape." ”
An Rong's tone of voice was firm and undoubted.
But Xiao Qian still suspects that so many secret guards kidnapped her sister-in-law and let her escape, this is in the Xiao Guo Mansion, and the secret guards will be punished to take off a few layers of skin.
If the sister-in-law is caught again, will the Dongyan Secret Guard still be so careless?
But no matter how much you don't take it lightly, no matter how you take precautions, who would have thought that An Rong could disappear by moonlight?
Prince Rui looked at An Rong and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, let's go to the Tongyuan Inn first, now that your whereabouts have been leaked, if the Dongyan Secret Guard must kidnap you, he will definitely take action." ”
That's all there is to it.
The dark guard brought the carriage over, and An Rong got into the carriage.
Before getting into the carriage, An Rong glanced back.
Seeing Su Junze standing there, looking at her, there was a touch of nostalgia in his warm eyes.
Xiao Qian turned over and glanced at Su Junze.
Su Junze's thoughts, how could he not understand.
Save your sister-in-law's life, this kindness, Xiao Guogong's Mansion remembers.
It's not the same thing to think about his sister-in-law.
Xiao Qian rode over and blocked Su Junze's sight.
When the carriage bubbled away, Xiao Qian gave Prince Rui a fist to them, and then rode away.
Cognate Inn.
has been wrapped up by the Cui family, with the battle between the marriage of the daughter of the Xiao Guogong Mansion and the Cui family's greeting marriage, an inn is far from being able to live, and another small inn on this street has also been packed.
The largest private room in the inn.
The red silk inside is swaying and full of joy.
Xiao Jin'er was dressed in a big red wedding robe, wearing a Dongzhu headdress given by An Rong on her head, and was looking at the clouds outside the window in a daze.
Hearing a knock on the door, Xiao Jin'er was slightly stunned.
The maid smiled and said, "It must be my uncle who is here." ”
Xiao Jin'er's face turned red, and the maid covered her mouth and went to open the door.
Xiao Jin'er should also be Cui Yao, embarrassed to look at the door, so as not to make people think that she is looking forward to Cui Yao.
But when she heard the maid shouting at her young grandmother, Xiao Jin'er hurriedly pouted.
An Rong stepped in, and Xiao Jin'er quickly stood up, "Sister-in-law? ”
Then he was ecstatic, looked at Xiao Qian and said, "You rescued your sister-in-law?" ”
Xiao Qian was ashamed, "It was the sister-in-law who escaped by herself." ”
"What about Cher?" Xiao Jin'er asked hurriedly.
“…… Still in the hands of the enemy. ”
Xiao Jin'er's eyes were instantly disappointed, but when An Rong came back, she was very happy.
Hurriedly pulled An Rong to sit down.
Xiao Qian knew that the two of them had something to say, so he went out.
Xiao Qian stepped downstairs, and a little servant stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Master Liu asks to see you." ”
Xiao Qian nodded, and the little guy retreated.
When he went downstairs, Master Liu had already greeted him respectfully, a little trembling, and pleaded guiltily, "The subordinates are not doing well, and they failed to catch the assassin who wanted to assassinate Xiao Biao's grandmother, and let them escape." ”
After pleasing the guilt, Master Liu hurriedly said, "I'll go back to the house and tell the lord of the house that even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will also find out the enemy." ”
Xiao Qian glanced at Master Liu coldly.
Master Liu was timid and hurriedly said goodbye.
Then he ran as if he had been chased by a dog.
Sun Mansion, in front of the study.
The little guy was knocking on the door, and the knock was a little urgent.
There was an impatient voice in the room, "Come in!" ”
The little guy pushed the door in, and first glanced to the right.
At the desk, empty.
At a glance, I only saw stacks of books on the shelves, full of antique fragrance.
I didn't see anyone, so I hurriedly walked to the left.
Spare the flowers and birds landscape screen, you will see the jasper bead curtain, the half-human high copper furnace ding, incense curling, like a beauty dancing sleeves looking back.
Although in the same room, he was low-key and simple, and he was a loyal official at first sight.
On the other hand, it is extravagant and staggering.
I saw that on the Duobao Pavilion, there were all kinds of jade porcelain.
The little guy knows that what is placed here is only part of the treasures of Governor Sun's mansion, and it is not the most treasured.
At this moment, Governor Sun was wiping a red calyx plum vase with a silk handkerchief.
He didn't even look at the little guy, but said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”
The little servant hurriedly said, "Master Liu sent someone to pass the word, saying that the person who the prefect's wife asked him to arrest earlier was the young grandmother of Xiao Guo's mansion ....... ”
Bang dang!
The vase in Governor Sun's hand was startled and fell to the ground.
In an instant, it was scattered.
The smashed little guy's heart is broken.
It's enough for his family to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.
However, Governor Sun's heart was half cold.
Mrs. Sun is Mrs. Shao's cousin, Mrs. Shao got off the boat and didn't go back to Shao's house, so she came to Mrs. Sun crying and making decisions for their mother and son.
When Mrs. Sun saw that her nephew was killed and was described as emaciated and suffered, is this worth it?
When she heard that the other party was just a girl, she had no family background, and she wanted to have no appearance, and her nephew was willing to accept her as a concubine, which was a blessing she had cultivated for several lifetimes, and she dared to poison her nephew.
Mrs. Sun immediately became angry, and found Master Liu to come and asked him to arrest An Rong in person.
Let Master Liu go in person, this is still taking into account the Ling family's birthday banquet today, and give the Ling family three points of face, otherwise it will be enough to send a few officers and soldiers.
When Master Liu went out, Governor Sun happened to come back, and Mrs. Sun wanted to avenge her nephew, and he had no opinion.
Who wants to kick the iron plate this time?!
Governor Sun's face was pale, and he was lucky, and said, "Are you sure it's the young grandmother of Xiao Guogong's mansion?" ”
The little servant nodded and said, "Master Liu said that the eldest young master of the Xiao Guo Mansion called her sister-in-law, and even Prince Rui was polite to her, and there would be no fake, just her appearance...... It's different from the portrait. ”
If it's the same, I'm afraid that Mrs. Shao will recognize it herself, and it's too late to stammer, how dare you offend?
In any case, the person who can make Prince Rui's son treat him politely is not something that a prefect can offend.
Governor Sun was in a hurry, and he was about to leave the house.
But before he could go out, suddenly a man in black fell from the sky.
He was scared half to death again, and the little guy wanted to call the assassin, but he fainted when he was casually put on the black clothes.
Governor Sun's face turned white.
The man in black didn't say anything, just flashed a token from his bosom.
Governor Sun's heart was much more relaxed, and he invited the man in black to come into the room and talk.
Master Liu rode back to Sun's mansion.
Before he entered the door, he saw Governor Sun hurriedly come out and hurriedly asked, "Lord Prefect, where are you going?" ”
"Go to Ling's house to celebrate your birthday."
Inn, Anrong is serving tea and sipping lightly.
The maid pushed the door in and said, "Young grandmother, the third young master of the Ling family begs to see you." ”
An Rong smiled, put down the teacup, and wanted to get up and go out.
This is Xiao Jin'er's boudoir, although Ling Yun is not very old, he is not able to come in casually.
Xiao Jin'er said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'll also go and see which bastard is the bastard who dares to throw you with a stone." ”
Ling Yun didn't go upstairs, he just waited downstairs.
An Rong went downstairs and asked him, "Why are you here?" ”
At this time, the Ling family's banquet should not be dispersed.
Ling Yun obediently saluted, and then grabbed An Rong aside.
Xiao Qian stared at Ling Yun's hand, his brows twisted and twisted.
The gaze was too sharp, Ling Yun found out, and hurriedly let go of his hand.
An Rong didn't care, but seeing that Ling Yun's face was not very good, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ling Yun's eyes rolled up, "My eldest brother has become fragrant." ”
Burst!
Forgive her for laughing low, I can't help it.
"That's a good thing," An Rong said with a sneer.
Do you have to be disliked?
Ling Yun bared his teeth, "It's strange to have a good thing, my eldest brother is nineteen years old this year, since he was fifteen years old, my mother has been kissing my eldest brother, four years, I was stunned that I couldn't set a virtuous and virtuous sister-in-law, it's good today, as soon as my eldest brother came back, knowing that he was cured, he showed signs of wanting to marry his daughter to my eldest brother's ......." ”
An Rong smiled, "This is also human nature, your eldest brother was sick and crooked before, and parents don't want their daughter to be widowed in the future after marrying your eldest brother." ”
"Normal fart!" When Ling Yun is angry, he is prone to foul language.
He looked at An Rong and made a super strange analogy, "Originally, my eldest brother was in the eyes of those rich and noble families in Huaizhou, and he was a nest that no one could look down on, which was ugly and unpalatable, you helped my eldest brother cure his illness, he became a bun, and it smelled very fragrant, but you have to ask what kind of stuffing it is before you buy it, but as soon as everyone hears that my eldest brother's steamed bun is made by you, the young grandmother of Xiao Guogong's mansion, in an instant, my eldest brother has changed from a steamed bun to a fragrant dumpling, and his value has grown upward, you don't know, Those people used to call me eldest brother and called me the eldest young master, but now they have become virtuous nephews...... ”
A metaphor, listening to Anrong is a pain in the cheeks.
Xiao Jin'er laughed and twitched in her abdomen.
This little boy is really funny, is there such an analogy?
However, it is quite similar.
The sister-in-law has an extraordinary identity, and she can treat the young master Ling with dignity, and she also took a boat from Suizhou to Huaizhou with the Ling family, which shows that she has a good relationship.
They thought that the Ling family had caught up with the Xiao Guo Mansion, and with the Xiao Guo Mansion as a backer, they naturally had to go to the pole and stammer.
Xiao Jin'er couldn't help but say, "In this way, your mother can pick a door for your eldest brother to kiss." ”
Ling Yun glanced at Xiao Jin'er and said, "It's strange, if it were an ordinary person, my mother would still be able to choose, but just now, the prefect has also gone, he wants to be a matchmaker, and he will marry the second daughter of the Wen family to my eldest brother." ”
Saying that, Ling Yun paused and said, "Grandmother and my father are very happy, and I can't wait to agree on the spot, my mother thinks that the prefect has other plans, so she ......stopped this matter." ”
The second room of the Wen family, Mrs. Shao, and Mrs. Sun Zhifu, that is a family.
Now Mrs. Shao has offended An Rong, and Governor Sun also sent someone to arrest An Rong.
It is reasonable to be reasonable, Governor Sun should apologize to An Rong first, but he didn't, but went to Ling's house to be a matchmaker first.
An Rong smiled, Governor Sun was afraid that she would be small and would not accept his apology, so he pulled the Ling family to his side around the corner, and when the time came, he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, Young Master Shao teased her, and the matter of the prefect sending someone to arrest her was on the face of the Ling family, and she was not to blame in the past?
He thought it was beautiful.
Xiao Qian walked over, snorted lightly, and said, "The Wen family's loss this time is not small, it's not just a trivial matter of breaking a few ribs, but with the prefect of Sun's mansion, the Wen family will be able to recover sooner or later, and it is not easy for others to squeeze out the position of the Wen family, it is rare for the prefect of Sun to be the matchmaker himself, and the old man of the Ling family wants to get married, so he can also get a piece of the pie in the future, right?" ”
Ling Yun honestly admitted, "That's what my father thinks. ”
An Rong was speechless.
It can only be said that the Ling family's eyes are too shallow, this is a great opportunity to swallow the Wen family, if it were her, she would not miss it no matter what.
Cui Yao also walked over, shook the jade fan lightly, and said with a smile, "Your father and your grandmother both agree to the family matter, your mother wants to shirk it, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
Ling Yun nodded, "Yes, my mother has nothing to do, so she can only lie......." ”
Mrs. Ling was forced to lie and could only lie.
said that she told the fate of the young master Ling in Suizhou, saying that he had a bad fate before, but there were nobles in his life to help him, and the treatment of the nobles was smooth, and she was happy at the time, and she calculated the marriage for the young master Ling.
Who would have thought that the marriage would not go well, and said that it would be decided within a month, and my Ling family would be safe and sound with the help of nobles.
But the in-laws will encounter a catastrophe.
Mrs. Ling said helplessly to Governor Sun, "These things, I would rather believe them than not, in case something happens to the Wen family because of the marriage with my Ling family, if I hide it to death, if the Wen family knows about it in the future, how should I explain to the Wen family?" There is no impermeable wall in this world, so it's not too late to wait to avoid the limelight and talk about the family affairs of the Wen Ling family. ”
Seeing that Governor Sun's face was not very good-looking, Mrs. Ling said again, "Lord Prefect, my son is not young, Huaizhou is his age, the child can run away, his family affairs, I am more anxious than anyone else, and I am fortunate to know that Lord Fu personally protects the media, which is a blessing from the dog's previous life, how dare I refuse, live up to your good intentions, offend you, offend the Wen family, and have no benefit to my Ling family, I'm not afraid, can't I do it no way?" ”
Mrs. Ling said so, what else does Governor Sun have to say.
Even if he decided that Mrs. Ling was prevaricating, there might be some way to expose her, should he send someone to Suizhou to investigate?
The Ling family couldn't get through, so Governor Sun had to find another way.
Master Liu gave Governor Sun an idea, just two words: bribe.
There are few women who can resist the treasures.
Being molested by someone on a boat, this is a scandalous thing that damages her reputation, how dare Xiao Biao's young grandmother make a big fuss?
If you give enough benefits, it will definitely calm things down.
An Rong didn't go to Ling's house to live, Xiao Jin'er was reluctant to let her go, so An Rong stayed in the inn with her.
In the evening, An Rong and Xiao Jin'er were having dinner and had just rested their chopsticks.
Outside, the maid came in and reported, "Young grandmother, the prefect asks to see me." ”
Xiao Jin'er smiled, "Aren't you here to take the blame?" ”
"It must be to make amends, but it can't be the guilt of Jing Plea, if Governor Sun had this idea, he wouldn't have gone to Ling's house first," An Rong said with a smile.
The two went downstairs.
The two only glanced at Governor Sun's mansion, and their eyes fell on several large boxes behind Governor Sun's mansion.
Xiao Jin'er raised her eyebrows.
She guessed wrong.
This is the sin of asking for money, and it is ruining wealth and eliminating disasters.
Sure enough, Governor Sun apologized to An Rong, saying that he was busy with the burning of Huaizhou these days, helping Xiao Guogong's Mansion catch assassins, and he was so busy that he was negligent, and only listened to one side of the story, so he asked Master Liu to arrest her and go to the Yamen for interrogation, and was almost exploited by the enemy, causing the Marquis of Dongqin to be injured, and he was to blame for his death.
A bunch of high-sounding words were said, and An Rong only rolled his eyes when he heard it, if he was really an official, he could speak well, and he could say that he was alive when he died, it was obviously a bend of the law for personal gain, and when it came to his mouth, he would become a man who did his best for the court, and occasionally made mistakes, which was really helpless.
But also, Prince Rui is in Huaizhou, even if Governor Sun was a corrupt official before, he has to pretend to be full these days.
was impeached by Prince Rui, and his career was over.
An Rong sat there and listened.
Xu is Governor Sun couldn't say it anymore, so he went straight to the point.
He sat in the position of the prefect and naturally knew the trick of gift-giving.
This gift should be given, and it should be given quietly, and it should not give people a handle.
No, Governor Sun came under the guise of congratulating Xiao Jin'er.
I sent her a box of congratulatory gifts.
The other two boxes were for An Rong, saying that the inn was shabby, and there was nothing to do, so he asked his wife to pack a few things that he was used to, hoping that An Rong would not dislike it.
After speaking, Governor Sun also opened the box himself.
Only opened the Anrong one.
Looking at the contents inside, An Rong smiled.
"It's really customary," Cui Yao said with a smile.
The box contained basins, bowls, chopsticks, combs, and rouge gouache.
But the washbasin is of gold and jewels.
An Rong grew so big, and it was all copper.
The footbasin is more ruthless, it is warm jade, exquisitely clear, how luxurious it is, Sun Zhifu also emphasized that this basin is warm jade, used to soak feet in winter, just like soaking in a hot spring, it will not be cold for a while, comfortable.
There are also bowls, which are made of yellow bone jade, and chopsticks are carved from ivory.
The comb is red sandalwood, rouge gouache, all of which are the best in the Tianxiang Pavilion.
These things are still secondary.
In a larger box was a coral tree.
The coral was not tall or stout, but it was beautiful.
It is a colony of corals.
After a glance, An Rong liked it.
But gradually, her eyes condensed, revealing a cold light.
This coral tree......
She'd seen it in her previous life!
