Chapter 375~376 Loyalty
Are you talking about Daying? Jiang Yu said suddenly: "Indeed, they have also seen a lot of the excitement of Kyoto City in the past two days, and there is no excitement here when Prince Gong usurped the throne of the Jin Kingdom in the past. ”
"That's nature. Although the politics are the same everywhere, the Jin people have a more arrogant temperament, and most of the scheming methods are simple and rude, such as Prince Gong, who will directly grab the position if he has the heart, and he will not endure it for so many years like the British prince, just to get a good reputation. ”
Jiang Yu sneered, got up and hugged Huo Shijiu's narrow waist, and rubbed her cheek against his chest: "I should really be glad that the British Duke has endured for many years for the sake of fame, and he is not like Prince Jin Guogong, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"You!" Huo nineteen nodded her forehead, and she couldn't help laughing when she teased her. But isn't it, if Britain is as decisive as Prince Gong, where will it be able to breathe, the Great Yan Dynasty would have been surnamed Cai a long time ago.
"Or will you come with me? So as not to have to do it all over again later. ”
"I'd better go play with the kids first, in case you're wrong." Jiang Wei pushed Huo Shijiu to the bottom of the corridor and instructed: "It's still early, if it's really him, you can call someone to send me a letter, so that we can keep someone for lunch." ”
"Got it."
Huo Jiujiu kissed her on the cheek again, and then walked out quickly.
Jiang Fei went to tease the two children, just in time for Du Duojiang to send a message that she wanted to see Huo Chong, Jiang Wei simply took Huo Chong and Qijin to the outer courtyard to see Du Duojiang.
Without Du Duojiang to follow, although Jiang Wei is confident that she can be unharmed, she is not as confident as Du Duojiang was when she was there. Du Duojiang was not involved in their affairs in the first place. It's also for Cao Yu's sake. plus curiosity about Jiang Yan's "teacher". I was willing to agree to help.
Cao Yu's love, Jiang Yu must return it. Du Duojiang's only request here was to see her master, but she knew that she could not fulfill his wish.
It was to take Qijin and Huo Chong to sit in Du Duojiang for a while, but Du Duojiang asked her master a lot, and she was afraid that the slightest flaw in what she said would make him suspicious, so she excused herself and left Zhang's sister-in-law and nurse with two children to accompany Du Duojiang here.
Jiang Yu also learned from what Sister-in-law Zhang said that although Du Duojiang had an indifferent temperament. is a person who loves children very much, in the past, they only thought that Du Duojiang was a strange person with a withdrawn personality, but seeing that he had such a soft side, they guessed that maybe he was not so difficult to get along with.
"Madam, would it be inappropriate to leave Xiao Shizi with Mr. Du? Do you want the servant to find a reason to bring the little prince back? Listening to the rain is worried about seven catties of life, and I am afraid that people like Mr. Du will hurt the child roughly.
She didn't know that the real son of the world had been taken care of by Du Duojiang for so long.
"No need." Jiang Yu said with a smile: "Since Mr. Du likes Xiao Shizi, it is good to ask my brother to play there for a while." It's just here, let's go to the study and have a look. ”
Hearing the rain, he hesitated for a moment, and persuaded softly: "This time, the Hou Ye is meeting guests, or the servant will go to the secret to explore first?" ”
Jiang Yu knew that listening to the rain was for her good. I am afraid that her meddling in Huo Nineteen's affairs will attract criticism. However, she and Huo Nineteen are different from ordinary couples, she can be a delicate flower hidden under Huo Nineteen's wings. can also spread their wings to protect Huo Nineteen, between them and their husbands and wives, they don't have to worry so much.
"Good to hear the rain, know that you are facing me. Be of good cheer, I know who is coming. I'll go to the study later, you don't have to come in when you stay outside, just listen to my orders. Jiang Yu took Tingyu's hand and patted it.
Tingyu blushed shyly, "Yes, it's the maid who is too careful." ”
"You're all for me, I know."
The tenderness and gratitude in Jiang Yu's eyes came from the heart, and Tingyu quickly raised her eyes to take a look, then lowered her head, and said movingly: "This is all the duty of a servant." ”
Jiang Yu just smiled and walked towards the study with Tingyu, she didn't feel that as a subordinate, she had the obligation to do much to her, she was extremely grateful for Tingyu's wholehearted treatment, what did it mean to say words of gratitude? Looking back, it is really good for her to find a good home for her.
When I arrived at the courtyard where the study was located, I saw Sixi squatting on the threshold and playing with a small grass.
Seeing Jiang Yan, Sixi hurriedly got up and patted his clothes and saluted: "Madam, you are here." ”
Jiang Fu bowed her head: "I'm tired of you, go back to the Hou Ye for me." ”
Sixi saluted, and walked quickly to the house, but after a while, he saw the soft curtain raised, Huo Shijiu quickly stepped down from the Danqi, twisted his eyebrows and reprimanded Sixi: "...... How to do things, dare to wait under the poisonous sun on such a hot day. ”
Sixi made a bitter face: "It was the Hou Ye who ordered the study not to allow anyone to come in." ”
"Dare to quibble?" Huo Jiu had already arrived in front of Jiang Yu as he spoke, holding her hands, and his tone was gentle, as if it was not him who reprimanded Sixi just now.
"Why didn't you come in directly? Don't want those false courtesies between you and me, it's my honor if you want to come to my study, and why do you want someone to talk back? What should I do if I get heat stroke? ”
Seeing that he was so nervous, Jiang Wei pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not a piece of paper, I'm not made of paper paste, I'm going to assassinate anyone at this time, how can I get dizzy when I bask in the sun?" I want you to have a guest, I'm afraid I will disturb you. ”
Sixi nodded desperately on the side. That's it! Their wife is clearly not a weak little woman, and the British duke is beaten on the ground and beats it, so do you care about the hot sun?
Seeing Huo Shijiu looking at him from the corner of his eyes, Sixi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to make any moves.
"What's the trouble or not, let's go into the house first, and get dizzy after a long time." Huo Shijiu pulled Jiang Yu to the main house, and Sixi and Tingyu hurriedly walked over and set up soft curtains on the left and right sides.
The front and back windows of the study are half open, the soft curtains of Hunan bamboo hang down, the light blue tassels sway slightly with the wind through the hall, a pot of gardenias blooming just right on the low corner of the wall, and the faint fragrance of paper and ink and gardenia lingers in the room.
Wen Da Jiahui sat alone on the black lacquer circle chair close to the collection lattice, the dark blue suit looked tall and straight, he was capable and neat, and his angular face lacked the momentum and sharpness of the emperor. A little more playful and banter.
"I know it's you. He was also left in front of the courtyard gate. Huo Yingke was in a hurry. Jiang Yan, are you okay? ”
Jiang Yu curtsied, sat down next to Huo Shijiu, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm fine." ”
Wen Dajiahui shook his head and smacked his tongue: "I'm still worried that you are tired of doing work, it is said that the British Duke has been beaten into a pig's head by you, and I also brought some blood-invigorating and stasis cream today." If you have a sore ground or bruise on your hands, it's best to rub this. ”
Wen Da Jiahui took out a delicate white porcelain box from his bosom and put it on the small table.
Huo Jiu looked at his movements, his heart was sour, and he couldn't hate such a rival in love.
Jiang Yu'er said, "Da Ying, only a fool in this world would beat someone with his bare hands." ”
"Huh?"
"I beat him several times, but I used the hilt."
Huo Jiujiu and Wen Dajiahui glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that the British duke's face was so painful......
Wen Dajiahui looked at Jiang Yan carefully, as if she wanted to remember her current appearance, and said easily: "There is no banquet in the world." Our affairs in Yan Country are almost done, and it's time to leave. Your Emperor will have a dinner party today, and tomorrow we will set off. ”
Jiang Wei bowed her head, and she didn't know if she was easy to be sentimental when she was pregnant, although Wen Dajiahui hadn't met a few times since she came, but when he was about to leave, he felt a little sad about it.
"I can't go over the dinner, I'll see you off tomorrow."
"No need, what should I do if I get the agency on a hot day?" Wen Dajiahui forced herself to look away, stopped staring at her, and said lightly: "Even if you go, you can't speak, I want to remind you that now that the British public is planted, you should carefully hide your bow." The relationship between the Jin Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom is mysterious, after all, I am the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, if you go, if you go, saying a word to me can arouse the suspicion of your emperor, so that the matter will be avoided. ”
Jiang Yu said quietly: "If it's really just a bird hiding the bow, it's still lucky." I'm afraid that he will see the next enemy as A-Ying. ”
Jiang Yu said, and looked at Huo Shijiu beside her. His side face is very delicate and good-looking, but because of his perennial worries, the wisps of silver in the corners are already obvious, and Jiang Yu feels very distressed.
Huo Jiujiu noticed her gaze, took her hand in his palm soothingly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he really sees me as an imaginary enemy. ”
In front of Wenda Jiahui, Huo Shijiu was reluctant to say that the little emperor was not. No matter how heavy Da Ying's kindness is to them, after all, there is still a country in between. He only said it vaguely, hoping that Jiang Yu would be able to understand it after listening to it.
Jiang Yu really understands. Huo Nineteen meant that they wouldn't stay for a long time, and it didn't matter what the little emperor was going to do.
But Jiang Yu always had a hunch that the matter here was not over yet, and it was not so easy to solve.
"Da Ying, I ordered someone to prepare lunch, and you and Ah Ying will have two cups later."
"No hassle." Wen Dajiahui said with a smile: "Since you are not prepared to let people know, it is inappropriate to have a grand banquet." I'll go back to the Welcome Pavilion in a moment. ”
"How's that going to happen?" Jiang Yu looked at Huo Nineteen inquiringly.
Huo Nineteen said: "If you don't dislike it, let's have dinner here, say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet next time, I am grateful for His Majesty's kindness for helping him many times, I have been suffering from no chance to repay, a lunch, My Majesty wants to appreciate the light." ”
Jiang Yu also said: "I will order someone to prepare a few exquisite side dishes." We'll have lunch together later. ”
Wen Dajiahui heard that Jiang Yu was also with her, so she nodded hesitantly.
Jiang Wei smiled and said: "I know that you are not a person who is rigid about modesty, but I am still a little sorry for you if you have a meal here, and when our conditions are better in the future, we will invite you openly." ”
Her apologies and her concern for him were very clear, and Wenda Jiahui was indeed not a person who cared about the festival, and when she was invited, all that was left was joy, and she nodded with pleasure.
Jiang Yu got up and went out, and called Tingyu to go and prepare together.
Huo Shijiu and Wen Da Jiahui watched through the half-open lattice fan as Jiang Yu and her maidservant figures gradually moved away, and then continued the topic.
"Huo Ying, I respect you as a man, and I know that you have paid a lot for your emperor, but sometimes if you gamble not only the lives of your family members indiscriminately, but also your wife and children, you can't get any substantial benefits, and you can't get the attention and trust of your master, then you will be foolish.
"The British capital has fallen. Will you continue to serve the enemy who killed your father and mother? Could it be that your parents are protected by Jiang Yan. Luckily alive. Have you forgotten the pain you were in? Such an unkind and unrighteous king is not worthy of your allegiance at all. You might as well come to the Kingdom of Jin in the future. You are full of revenge and zeal, and there should always be a place to show it. ”
When Wenda Jiahui spoke, Huo Jiujiu listened silently, and when he looked at him inquiringly, Huo Jiujiu said: "Your Majesty, I understand your kindness, and I also admit it." I am not such a tolerant and generous person, and I can't forget what the emperor did, but this qiē cannot be a reason for me to seek refuge in other countries. I don't want to continue to assist him, but I won't assist you either. ”
Wen Dajiahui sighed helplessly when she heard this.
He tried his best to lobby and tried his best to talk about it, just hoping that Huo Shijiu could take the whole family to Jinguo. In this way, he can easily ensure Jiang Yan's safety, not to mention, but also be able to see her every once in a while. Even if you can't get it, it's a pleasure to watch her live happily.
But Huo Nineteen, a stubborn donkey, didn't listen to him. He also said that even if he was not loyal to the emperor, he would not go to the Jin Kingdom. It is clearly to express that he will not commit treason.
Indeed, wait until the expiration of the peace treaty. He was going to do something. When the time comes, they will hate to be caught in the middle. But he didn't understand, how could a person like the little emperor of Yan Guo who was treacherous and treacherous be worthy of someone like Huo Shijiu to forgive him several times.
I'm afraid that even biological parents will give up when they meet such a son.
"You're stubborn. I don't know if you often disagree with Jiang Yan like this on weekdays. "Jiang Wei has a stubborn temper, if Huo Shijiu is like a pit stone every time, she won't be angry with him?
"Whether there is a difference of opinion or not, that is also a matter between me and my daughter." Huo Jiujiu has been sour for a while, and at this time, he was questioned by his rival if he was not good enough for Jiang Yan, and how could he be convinced? Although he felt in his heart that he was not good enough for Jiang Wei.
In this way, it is the most lethal for Wenda Jiahui. After all, the person Jiang Yu chose was Huo Nineteen, not him. No matter how respectful his status is, no matter how much he cares about her, he even doesn't hesitate to step up his work and rush out of time just to come and see her, but this qiē is no match for Huo Jiu's smile in Jiang Yan's heart. Maybe even if she fights with Huo Nineteen and suffers from Huo Nineteen's grievances, Jiang Wei is also willing, just like him is an iron-clad man, and the weakness in this life is all on her.
Although he thinks so, Wen Da Jiahui will not admit it, "That being said, you have to think more about their mother and son after all, even if you don't want to go to Jinguo, you might as well figure out what to do next." I think your emperor is a straw bale, and the dog can't store two taels of sesame oil in his stomach, such a fool you just give him a good job and hold it in front of him, he may not be able to catch it, and if he doesn't fall to the ground and smash it, I'm sorry for his head that only contains intestines. ”
"Your Majesty, that's too much." Huo Nineteen reminded him, and there was anger in his words.
Although he felt that although Wen Da Jiahui's words were coarse, the meaning he could express was very accurate. He also felt that it was also difficult for the little emperor to be the king of Shoucheng.
"That's it." Wen Dajiahui waved his hand helplessly and said: "I always say that your emperor is not in front of you, and I am not a villain who can only chew his tongue behind his back." You can do it yourself. By the way, the nails outside your house have also gone this time, right? ”
The British public was arrested and awaiting trial by the three divisions. The reputation of Huo Jiu and Jiang Yu has changed from a dispute some time ago to complete justice now, whether it is the British Duke or the spies who Qingliu is monitoring the Hou Mansion, they should almost be removed.
Huo Jiujiu just nodded. But the inside story cannot be communicated with outsiders. The British Duke and Qingliu's people did withdraw, but Cao Yu only said this morning that the rest of the eyeliner except for the sporadic few people arranged by the little emperor would come to investigate, and the other living person did not know who it was, and guessed that it might be from the Nine Kings' Mansion.
He and the Nine Princes can also be regarded as well water and do not interfere with river water, and recently it is nothing more than a communication at that banquet, but he planted a nail to monitor him outside the mansion, what is it for?
Could it be that the Nine Princes didn't believe him, and when he was already famous, he still doubted his loyalty?
"You're so silent, it's because you haven't been cleared yet." Wen Dajiahui crossed her arms with a "I knew it was like this" expression.
It was not Huo Nineteen who he despised, but the people of the Great Yan Dynasty. These people feel that Yan is a vast country with vast resources, and it is the most top-notch in terms of cultural and economic development, so they don't look at foreigners in their eyes. The people of Jin Guo are as fierce and cunning as tigers and wolves. But even if they are ambitious, they will splash it on the bright side. Where did all this intrigue come from? is a good loyal minister, not at ease, and surveillance.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Wen Dajiahui said again: "I think you Yan people are just too complicated, and you have forgotten the most basic character that you should have as a person. ”
"His Majesty is so biased, but it is not the work of a wise man."
"I wasn't a wise man either."
"Your Majesty knows that you are not wise, why do you keep saying such brainless words?"
"Huo Ying, I think you have to make inches!"
……
Two big men. Originally, things were discussed well, but suddenly there was a quarrel.
Jiang Yan stood in front of the door of the study, couldn't help but laugh after listening to a few words, sent Sixi and Tingyu to walk away, guarded people not to approach, and entered the door by herself: "You two men are blushing and red-eared for these things, and you are not ashamed?" ”
"Ahem!" Wen Dajiahui coughed dryly to hide the embarrassment in her heart. Jiang Yu is more protective of Huo Nineteen, he knows. If she knew that he was talking like that when he was arguing with Huo Jiu behind his back, she wouldn't break off his friendship with him?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu didn't ask again. Just chatting with Wenda Jiahui.
After a while, Sixi and Tingyu outside took the food box brought by the maids. Both of them lowered their heads and laid out the food outside, and neither dared to look up to see who the guests were inside, so they retreated far away to guard.
The three of them had a meal together, and Huo Shijiu and Wenda Jiahui were not drunk.
"It's not early, I'm really leaving." Wen Da Jiahui stood up, dusted off the dust on his sleeves, and said lightly:
"Although I really don't want your husband and wife to be forced to defect to me in the future, but Jiang Yan, you know that I gave seven catties of that jade pendant. As you remember, as long as I, Wenda Jiahui, reigned for a long time, the door of the Kingdom of Jin was always open to you. If there is really a day in the future when there is no way out, remember to come to me. ”
Even if he went to Jinguo because he had nowhere to go and nowhere to go, he was very welcome.
Jiang Yu nodded movingly, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "I have received a piece of your heart with A-Ying." But we will make a good living, and even if we want to go to Jinguo in the future, we will never be in a desperate situation. ”
"That's better." Wen Dajiahui smiled and said goodbye to Huo Shijiu.
Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu kept sending Wen Dajiahui to the gate of the courtyard, and then ordered someone to prepare a car to send people out quietly.
Wenda Jiahui rode all the way and took out a delicate small wooden box from his arms, and the broken hosta inside had been restored to its purpose if it was wrapped in gold leaf. He looked at the hairpin reverently, feeling that he was both happy and sad.
I wanted to lose the hairpin, but I had to reach out to the window of the car and take it back.
He is really capricious when he sinks into this impossible love, as an emperor, the last thing he shouldn't have is willful, but he is also willing, no one in this life can make him so angry and helpless.
Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu went back to Xiaoyi Courtyard hand in hand, and took Qijin and Huo Chong to play for a while, the weather was hot, and the children were naturally sleepy after a while. Jiang Wei was also a little sleepy. Huo Jiu simply lay down with Jiang Yu and Yi on the Arhat bed with an official green mattress laid in the window for a while.
When Huo Shijiu was called out by Cao Yu, who came quietly to spread the word, Jiang Yu still slept deeply.
It wasn't until I woke up that I found that Huo Nineteen, who was beside him, was no longer in the bedroom.
Jiang Yu covered her mouth and yawned, and asked Yuqiao: "When did Master Hou leave?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, Master Hou and Gongzi Cao have been out for more than an hour. Haven't come back yet. ”
Where did Cao Yu call Huo Nineteen?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the voice of a young daughter-in-law outside: "Madam! ”
"Who? Come in and talk back. ”
When the daughter-in-law entered the door, she knelt down and saluted. Jiang Yu recognized her as a second-door watcher. It's not time to drop the key yet, so it's good to come here and do something.
The daughter-in-law kowtowed and said, "Mrs. Hui, there is good news ahead, and the Hou Ye has been promoted to the hereditary and loyal and brave duke!" The grandfather stayed in the palace to accompany the holy driver to invite the people of the Jin Kingdom, or the words that Sixi rushed back to pass on. ”
When the servants around Jiang Yu heard this, their faces were full of joy.
Huo Shijiu is so young, he is already a loyal and brave man! Then in the future, the Hou Mansion will be changed to the Zhongyong Mansion! They will be even more dignified in the future. (To be continued......)
