The General's Mansion is located in the north of the city.

The scenery of the house is very good, the flowers and birds pavilions everywhere, the small bridge and the flowing water, although the wealth is insufficient, but the elegance and clearness.

In the foyer of the main courtyard, there is an embroidered screen about half a zhang high, on which is embroidered a golden and jade hall, and the surrounding decoration is lifelike with fish patterns.

Bypassing the main hall, there is a wing room. The general Song Nian sat on the couch, intently wiping the long sword in his hand, the look on his face, as if the sky was falling, was not as important as this sword.

"Master, the Queen Mother's meaning couldn't be clearer. What kind of charter is this, please give me an idea. Du Shi whispered.

Today she handed over the sign to the Changmen Palace to ask for peace, and the Queen Mother seemed to have inadvertently stumbled on the stool of Zheng (13).

Du Shi was shocked, cold sweat was dripping down, and she couldn't sit still, who had always been calm.

Song Nian glanced up at her, and said in a muddy voice: "The Queen Mother can look down on the Song family, this is the glory of the Song family." Our Song family has worked hard for Daxin for all these years, and we should also enjoy this glory. ”

"It's just your daughter, I'm afraid it's ......" Du Shi thought about his daughter's thoughts, and was embarrassed.

"The marriage of children, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers are not up to her." Song Nian's voice was low, not angry and arrogant.

"I can't let my daughter be the master, and my daughter won't marry!" The bead curtain was picked up in pieces, and Song Xi walked in angrily.

Du Shi hurriedly stepped forward and stopped, and said softly: "Talk to your father well, the girl's family, where does she have such a big temper." ”

Song Xi walked up to Song Nian with a small mouth, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, I don't want to marry the emperor, and I don't want to be the queen, I beg you, don't come down." ”

Song Nian looked at the only daughter who had been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and sighed softly: "Xi'er, what's wrong with marrying the emperor, marry him, you are the most noble woman in the world, the Song family has only produced generals in the past hundred years, and has not produced a queen, this is a great glory!" ”

"The richest, but also the most pitiful, such glory is not to be desired! I was a kid and didn't understand anything. The emperor is young, and the three kings are watching from the side, and this time he has won over our Song family, so that the Song family can guard this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for him. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Song Nian roared angrily: "As a courtier, the most important thing is loyalty, that is, if you don't be the queen, the thousands of miles and mountains of the Xin country, I, Song Nian, will also guard for the emperor." ”

"You have to guard no one to stop you, but don't use your daughter's as a pawn."

Song Nianhu was dumbfounded: "Let you be the queen, not let you be a pawn." ”

"Who says it's not a pawn?"

Song Xi's chest fell together: "Over the years, my father has been fighting in the army outside, and the palace is afraid that my father will rebel, so he will detain me and my mother in Beijing, and my daughter will only be able to see her father for a few years, isn't this a chess piece." ”

Song Nian's sharp gaze swept over, and he wanted to refute for a while but couldn't find the words, so he only scolded hatefully: "Bastard, if you say this, you should be a girl." ”

"Okay, master, what are you doing so fiercely, don't scare us two!" Seeing that the father and daughter were on the same page, Du Shi unceremoniously complained to his man.

Song Nian has always been obedient to his wife, and he shortened his momentum a little, and complained: "You don't look at her, what are you saying." Others can't fight for it, and she can't grab the position, but she is good, and she can't help but push it out, which ...... Ay! ”

Song Nian slapped his thigh and glared at Du Shi dissatisfied.

Song Xi showed a faint mockery: "You can't fight for anything, you can't grab it." The emperor's harem, three thousand beauties, concubines, concubines, talents, beauties, and countless others, does the father want to watch his daughter fight to the death with these women. ”

"You are my daughter of Song Nian, a woman from this Daxin country, who dares to fight with you, she dares to fight, and she has to see if the long sword in her father's hand agrees." Song Nian is full of pride.

"Father, there will always be a day when you will get old, and there will always be a day when you can't fight and retreat to the mountains and forests, and then I will have no brothers and sisters, and I will be hard to support in the palace alone. The women of the Daxin country, anyone dares to fight. ”

"You ......"

Song Nianyu slammed his hand holding the sword, looked at his daughter, and reprimanded angrily: "What nonsense! How could the emperor be such a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”

Seeing that the father and daughter were facing each other, Du Shi hurriedly pressed one hand on the man's shoulder, and said lightly: "Come on, if the child is a child, what do you care about her, she is not sensible, are you not sensible?" ”

"I ......" Song Nian just wanted to distinguish two sentences, but when he saw the soft color in Du's eyes, he only swallowed the words.

Du Shi pressed his daughter to sit on the chair again, and said with tears in his eyes: "Good boy, in our house, no more than other people's families, your father and I only have you, what do you think in your heart, just say it." You also know how your father has treated you all these years, and no matter how far away you are, you will remember it in your heart. Is there anything we have to say, can't we discuss it as a family? ”

As soon as Song Xi heard this, she knew that her mother meant something, and she had never been a person who twisted and pinched, so she knelt on the ground and knelt down generously: "Father, my daughter already has a person in her heart, ask her father to fulfill it!" ”

Song Nian was shocked and looked at the people on the ground in disbelief: "Who?" ”

"Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhao Jingyue!"

……

In early autumn, the weather is cool in the morning and evening, and it is still hot at noon.

On this day, Lin Xi got up early in the morning, and on a spring night, the two of them helped her comb her hair and put it on. Lin Xi thought that today must be another day of travel, so he put down another of the only two hairpins on his head, and let those two seasons be easy to talk about, and he didn't live or die.

I was helpless on a spring night, afraid that I would look down on others, so I picked out a brightly colored dress for Lin Xi to wear. Lin Xi said in her heart that as long as she didn't let me wear those gold and jade, that is, let her wear a black robe, she would be willing.

As soon as he was dressed up, Li Yingjie turned his back and entered the Shin Shin Courtyard.

Since the Qian family handled Li Congwang's marriage and persuaded the juniors in the house to ask for peace, Li Yingjie would go to this Xinxin Courtyard twice sooner or later, and Lin Xi would get used to it. If he came early, when Lin Xi had breakfast, Li Yingjie ordered someone to add more dishes and chopsticks, and the grandparents and grandchildren said while eating, they were happy.

With Lin Xi's cheeky ability, she wants to make people happy with sincerity, which is simply a matter of hand.

One has a heart for filial piety, and the other has a heart to make up for it, and the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is like the flowing water in July, steaming.

Li Yingjie looked at Lin Xi's slightly simple hair accessories, and said unhappily to the four seasons: "It's hard that the girl's makeup doesn't even have a decent phoenix hairpin." ”

Four seasons turned red and was about to reply.

Lin Xi hurriedly laughed and said: "Grandfather, I don't want to wear it, it's too heavy, and it makes my neck hurt." ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Yingjie's eyes glared: "Obedient, wear two more, if you don't like it, grandfather Ming'er will send someone to send some good ones for you to choose, you are the granddaughter of my Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and the most important thing in our house is jewelry." If you let outsiders look at it, you will say that I, the Hou Ye, have treated my granddaughter badly. ”

After a while, Li Yingjie looked at his newly dressed granddaughter with satisfaction, looking left and right, and the fat face was so smiling that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Lin Xi saw that his grandfather was happy like this, his eyes seemed to be between heaven and earth, only she in front of him was a unique treasure in this world, and he felt that he occasionally violated it, and it was also a beautiful thing for the old man to smile.

Li Yingjie carefully admonished a few words, turned his back on his hand, and left happily.

In this way, Lin Xi climbed into the carriage that had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time with three beads on his head.

After getting into the carriage, she realized that the figure in a blue shirt at the entrance of the mansion seemed to be her third uncle.

Spring Night seemed to be aware of the suspicion in Lin Xi's heart, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Mrs. sent more than a dozen small servants to search for half the night in various wine shops and courtyards in the capital before calling them back. ”

"But incense is such a thing, man ......"

"The girl forgot, there are still the ladies of the Qian Mansion today."

"Oh!"

It dawned on Linsey. Dare to love is to let a pair of young people who are about to get married cultivate their feelings in advance, so that the candle night in the cave room is not so strange.

Good idea!

Lin Xi sighed, closed his eyes, seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "My two aunts have gone together." ”

Spring night smiled: "None of them have been pulled down, I heard that the incense of Yangu Temple is the most effective, the eldest grandmother, the second grandmother has never given birth to a son-in-law, so naturally I want to go to worship!" ”

Lynsey was dumbfounded.

The eldest aunt has a concubine with him, he will recuperate well every day, and the husband and wife will work a little harder in bed, and the birth of a sister-in-law is just around the corner. There is no movement in the second uncle's room, and she has been married for a few years, which is ...... Isn't it a little unreasonable?

……

It is said that the Hou Mansion and his party, seven or eight carriages, a dozen mothers-in-law, and a dozen or so guards marched towards Yangu Temple.

At the same time, on another official road in Beijing, a lady of the Xiangfu family, three sons and four young ladies, plus Zhu and He, two aunts and sisters, also drove out of the city under the escort of all the families.

In the main room of the General's Mansion, Song Nian took the tea handed by the maid and rinsed his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the maid left.

"I thought about it all night, but it was still not appropriate." Song Nian said in a low voice.

Du Shi also knew that the man tossed and turned all night last night, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Song Nian said in a deep voice: "This time the three kings entered Beijing, and the queen mother ordered that even the sons should be merged into Beijing, if there is no accident, I am afraid that before the new emperor has a son-in-law, the three sons will stay in Beijing." ”

Du's body trembled, and he said lightly: "What does the master mean ......"

"The new emperor is young, the queen mother guards against the rebellion of the three kings, and after staying, I have an army of 400,000 in the hands of the Daxin country, if Xi'er and the prince of Jingwang ...... Think about it, what are the consequences? ”

Du Shi is a woman in the end, and she has always been protected by her husband, and she only cares if her daughter likes it or not, how can she think of something deeper. Hearing her husband's careful analysis, Du Shi was shocked into a cold sweat.

"So ......"

Song Nian nodded and said in a low voice, "Junxin...... Unfathomable! Even if I want to fight for Xi'er, it depends on whether the situation allows it. ”

Du Shi glanced at her husband resentfully.

Song Nian stretched out his hand and squeezed her hand, and said softly: "You have a number in your heart about this." Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to find out what the prince is like and find out the tone of the prince. If he is loyal to the emperor, and the prince is not that ambitious, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. ”

Du Shi gently wiped his tears with his other hand, and said angrily: "We only have this one daughter, we can do whatever we want, and we can't be wronged." ”

Song Nian's hero was tender, and he couldn't see his wife shed tears, so he was at a loss and said: "That's natural, rest assured, rest assured, I know it in my heart." ”

……

In the early autumn of the Yangu Temple, the green is still lush, the tourists are weaving, and the incense is extremely vigorous.

As soon as the carriage and horses of the Hou Mansion arrived, a little novice who heard the news came out and led him into the interior through the left door of the ancient temple. This side door is specially opened for the nobles in the palace and the wealthy families in the capital, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Lin Xi got out of the car by the spring night and followed the people of the Hou Mansion, all the way winding and deep, with green bamboos.

Walk through the corridor, enter a house on the left, the courtyard has two pines and cypresses, several begonias, a total of ten large and small wings, it is a very quiet resting place.

Lin Xi sighed in his heart, the word rich and noble is really a good thing, it is a place that pays attention to the parallel of all living beings, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Like those ordinary people outside who have finished incense, they want to drink saliva and chew a few mouthfuls of dry food, but they can only sit on the ground in the open space in the temple, and how do they know that there is something else inside.

The door of the Hou Mansion is really a VIP.

Li Fengjin saw Lin Xi's astonishment, raised his head and said arrogantly: "There are two courtyards at the top of the Yangu Temple, one is at the opposite door, and the other is here. There are so many rich and noble families in Beijing, and there are only a few people who can enter these two places, and I am Xiaoyao Houfu, which is one of them. If it weren't for your father looking for you, you would have crowded together with the ordinary people in the temple in front of you. ”

Lin Xi smiled faintly and did not say a word.

Xia Feng couldn't look at it, and sneered: "Miss, my girl's ......"

"Xia Feng, help me see which side room is ours, I want to rest first!" Lynsey interrupted with a smile.

Knowing that the girl was unwilling to make the affairs of the Lin family public, she hurriedly glanced at Xia Feng and said with a smile: "Madam, the girl wants to take a break, look ......"

Qian had already noticed the movement, pointed to a side room, and said with a light smile: "Just that room, take care of the girl." Gu Er's family, go to see if the carriage and horses of the Qian Mansion have arrived, and bring people in. ”

Gu Erjia responded and went out of the courtyard.

After waiting for a while, Li Congwang was a little impatient, and asked with a blue face: "How can the Qian family return to the future?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

While speaking, someone had already brought in the people from the Qian Mansion, who were the mother and daughter of the Liu family.

Qian Shuhong saw that among the ladies of the Hou Mansion, she stood with her cousin Li Congwang, her heart was overjoyed, she lowered her face in shame, walked to Qian's side, took her arm, and called in a low voice: "Aunt!" ”

Qian clapped her hand and smiled meaningfully, "Good boy." ”

Everyone stepped forward to salute, and after seeing each other, Qian explained a few words, and together with Liu, led the two daughters-in-law to the front yard to burn incense.

As soon as the Qian family left, Li Congwang said with a reluctant face: "You guys rest, I'll walk around the temple." ”

"Cousin, I'll go with you." Qian Shuhong said busily.

Li Congwang was about to refuse, but he heard Li Fengjin say: "Third brother, my mother specially explained to you when I came, and I accompanied Cousin Shu Hong, why did you forget as soon as your mother left." ”

Li Congwang was gagged, and seeing Shu Hong's expectation, he said unhappily: "Come on, come on, I'll go to the back mountain for a walk, if you don't want to be too far, just come along." Linsey, you come too. ”

I don't want to be an eyesore.

Lin Xi hurriedly smiled and said: "Third uncle, you go to play first, I'll rest first, and then I'll come back to look for you." ”

Qian Shuhong lost Lin Xi's acquaintance look, and followed Li Congwang out of the courtyard.

In an instant, most of the servants in the courtyard went out, and the few who were left behind also entered the master's room and cleaned the house.

Li Fengjin was overjoyed, and when Lin Xi's master and servant entered the house, he gave Cui'er a look.

Cui'er nodded smartly, and slipped out quietly while no one was noticed. R1152
