Chapter 108~109 Collection Rebellion
Jiang Yu knew what she was thinking, Huo Jiujiu actually understood it a long time ago, but what he did for her mother and sister would not stop doing it because the other party refused to accept it. This may be the similarity between his personality and her, as long as he decides to do it for others, whether he can be appreciated and rewarded or not, he will do his best.
Jiang Wei looked at Huo Shijiu's gaze gradually softened, Huo Shijiu's heart was full of joy, she turned her face away childishly, coughed and said, "Don't go quickly, what are you waiting for here?" ”
Jiang Yan smiled and happily pinched Huo Shijiu's face, his skin was healthy and smooth, and his hand felt excellent, "Then I'll go, don't miss me, beauty." Then, when Huo Nineteen was dumbfounded, he shook the sandalwood fan and smiled.
Huo Jiujiu looked at her back and shook his head with a smile for a long time. instructed the servant to add two more lamps, and asked Sixi to go to the Xiangge Pavilion to get his book to read.
Bing Song and the joy of listening to the rain, Huo Shijiu didn't go to the study again.
Since Mrs. entered the door, it has only been nearly three months, and the aunt has been sent away, and her body has been gone, and even the Hou Ye can't wait to take root in the bedroom, and they all feel comfortable when they look at it.
When Jiang Yu arrived at the guest house where Tang took Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao to live, Tang was leading the second daughter to do needlework.
She told Tang what she intended to do, and sure enough, Tang politely refused as she expected, and said:
"Sister Girl, my mother knows your kindness, although A-Ying is not an official, she is still a good person, and it is good for you. He thinks about his mother, and it is completely for you, you have to get along with him well and live a serious life with others. Don't listen to your dad's old bastard. ”
"Mother. I know it. Jiang Yu said: "You can accept A-Ying's kindness." ”
"I can't take it." Tang sighed: "Although I have made peace with your father. But in the end, we have to take into account each other's reputation, and there are endless troubles at this juncture. When the time comes, won't it give people a handle to speak? Sister Girl, you are a smart child, you should understand. ”
Jiang Fei's long eyelashes flickered, like butterfly wings, covering the embarrassment in her eyes: "Mother, I know the truth." It's just that I have not been married to A-Ying for a long time. I have also seen some of his behavior, and the things in the officialdom are not something that you and I can evaluate, such as my father, he is a good person in the eyes of some people, but some people also think he is a bad person. For example, A-Ying, everyone in the world scolds him, but there are also a few who praise him. It's just that the individual position is different. A man doesn't look at what he does outside, only his temperament when he is at home, and he is filial to his parents. Loving sisters, they have been very good to me. A person of such temperament would not be a wicked man. ”
"I know. I know it. Tang said with a smile: "Since ancient times, when you have become a king and you have been defeated, where can you tell who is right and who is wrong?" It's just that your father and A-Ying happen to be on opposite sides. Although the mother is a woman, she also understands these truths. Mother can't accept those properties, but the psychology is grateful to you and A-Ying. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. ”
"What did my mother say?" Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Yan, who was quietly doing needlework on the side, and some words were not spoken.
What she is worried about now is the marriage between Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao. followed Heli's mother to live in his sister's house after leaving the cabinet, and his father was a radical person in court politics like Jiang Xuewen, Jiang Yan was not young, if nothing happened, it was also the age when he should be discussing relatives, and there were many people who came to the door to talk about the matchmaker a few days ago......
I'm afraid that Tang is also worried now, so it's better for her not to mention it.
Jiang Yu sat for a while, and was pushed back to rest by the Tang family, and went back to the room to talk to Huo Jiuyi, he smiled and said, "Expected." He comforted Jiang Yan again, "Just think about it slowly in the future, anyway, there is almost nothing I can't do in Kyoto City." ”
What he said was not arrogant, but something that could really be done, but Jiang Yu couldn't help but want to tease him, and before he could speak, Bing Song's voice came from outside: "Master Hou, madam, Gonggong Jing from the emperor's side is here." ”
Huo Shijiu smiled: "Where are the people?" ”
"I'm in the Frontrooms at the moment."
Huo Jiu smiled and said to Jiang Wei: "I'll go and take a look first." ”
Jiang Fei bowed her head, seeing Huo Shijiu go out, she still felt uneasy.
After all, it happened that the little emperor punished her for kneeling, and if she could punish her for kneeling, she would inevitably be angry by Huo Shijiu, and he would punish her if he was unwilling to punish her. The little emperor suddenly sent someone, could it be that he thought of how to punish Huo Nineteen?
Even if Huo Jiu is a jerk in the government, he is also her husband, how can she wait for news in the bedroom with peace of mind?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei quickly went to open the yellow rosewood cabinet, turned out her dagger from it, tied it to the right calf with a cloth belt, straightened the skirt and took the fan, left Bingsong to watch the house, and walked out quickly with Tingyu.
The sky was dark, and the paper lantern in the hand of the rain was a little eerie in the blue night, and the two of them walked to the second gate, and they had seen the mother-in-law chatting on the door from a distance.
Listening to the rain was just about to open the door, a whirlwind suddenly blew, Jiang Wei's long hair and goose yellow skirt fluttered, and the candle flame in the paper lantern in Tingyu's hand also dimmed, and then it burned with a "whew".
The lantern was on fire, and when he was startled by the rain, he hurriedly called for people.
The mother-in-law on the second door also hurried over, for fear that Jiang Yan would be frightened and gasped, so she asked if she was okay.
Jiang Yu said that she was fine, but she was a little uncomfortable in her heart. The good lantern is on fire, which is not a good sign.
After taking the lantern from the mother-in-law again, Jiang Yu and Tingyu sped up their pace and went straight to the front hall.
At this moment, Jiang Wei had only one thought in her mind - no matter who it was, it would be impossible to move Huo Nineteen's hair. In this world, only she can hurt him.
The master and servant came to the front hall, and they had just gone up to Danqi, just in time for Sixi to meet from inside.
Seeing Jiang Yan, Sixi was stunned.
Jiang Yan at night wore a goose yellow collar tunic skirt, outlining her figure as slender and exquisite, like a fairy.
"Ma'am." Sixi hurriedly lowered his eyes and saluted Jiang Yan, "The little one is about to pass on the words of the Hou Ye, ask the lady to prepare, the emperor will hold a banquet in the other courtyard, and ask the lady to accompany the Hou Ye to go with him." However, Madame is always beautiful and outstanding, and according to the small one, there is no need to prepare anything at all. The last sentence is true.
Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows: "Little monkey cub." is so poor with the children around Hou Ye. ”
"How dare the little one." Sixi turned around and lifted the curtain: "Master Hou." Madame came. ”
Huo Nineteen was sitting in the first place to eat tea at the moment. The new chamberlain Jing beside the emperor stood beside him.
Huo Jiu's expression was lazy and unattainable, but when he heard that Jiang Yan was coming, the cold immediately melted like spring snow.
Jiang Yu had already walked around the screen and walked to him.
Huo Shijiu put down the tea bowl, "How did you come so quickly?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Wei to speak, Sixi had already replied: "Master Hou and Mrs. have a heart, and the little one just came out, and Mrs. happened to come." ”
Seeing that Huo Nineteen was unharmed. Jiang Yu said: "The emperor is holding a banquet in another courtyard? ”
"Well, it's so late, I wanted you to rest at home, but since the emperor named you to accompany him, he had to work as a wife."
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "The emperor's holy will, how can the concubine be excused." He turned to Jing Tong and said: "I'm still bothering Father-in-law Jing to come here." ”
Jing Tong's handsome face was full of flattered expressions, and he said in a stacked voice: "Don't dare, Madame is serious." ”
At this time, the carriage outside was also prepared, and when the people went back and forth, Huo Shijiu took Jiang Yan's hand and said, "Let's go now." I see you're so beautiful. You don't have to go back and change your clothes. ”
Jiang Yu didn't care what she was wearing, seeing that Huo Shijiu was also wearing regular clothes. Knowing that it might just be a private banquet, he smiled and nodded, leaving Tingyu at home.
After getting into the carriage, Jiang Wei sat beside Huo Shijiu and closed her eyes to recuperate, and under her ears, she found that there were only about a dozen people in the car, and she did not find that her martial arts were strong, such as Cao Yu.
Cao Yu hated that she and Huo Shijiu's bedroom would come in, why didn't he protect him when he went to the banquet today?
According to Jiang Yan's experience, there is nothing good about such a banquet.
"A-Ying, where's the ink dye?"
"Mo Dye had something to do, so I didn't call him." Huo Jiu didn't care.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and bowed her head.
All the way to the courtyard where the little emperor lived. I saw that the palace maids in the green long skirts of the gouache palace were carrying lotus lanterns, and lined up two rows at the door to greet each other. ”
Jiang Yu followed Huo Shijiu's side, looking at the layout of the guards in the other courtyard without a trace, and had habitually looked for the best hiding place and evacuation route. I also saw that although this place was like an ordinary house, there were many guards, standing in a disorderly formation, weighing their own weight, as if it was really not easy to come and go at will, after all, it was the residence of the emperor of heaven.
She had some headaches. If it was really a Hongmen banquet today, how should she save Huo Shijiu's life and leave safely with him?
Banquets are held in the foyer. When the palace maid led Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yu to the courtyard where the front hall was located, she stayed outside the door, and only Jing Tong led the way in front.
Along the way, Jing Tong went in to reply, and after a while, he came out and said, "Lord Hou, madam, the emperor is invited." ”
Huo Shijiu smiled and thanked Jing Tong and took Jiang Yu into the house.
Jiang Wei lowered her head and entered dignifiedly.
The house is paved with red flowers and peonies, and there is a peony flower screen facing the door. The candlelight on the candlesticks on the independent wings of the cranes on both sides is bright, and the soft halo is shrouded by the silk, and the floor-to-ceiling candlesticks stand in two rows, illuminating the main hall as if it were day.
Bypassing the interstitial screen, I saw that there was a table of eight immortals with a big red tablecloth, the dishes on the table were sumptuous, and the little emperor was wearing a royal blue placket, and was sitting on a circle chair of black lacquered paulownia wood and looking at the dishes on the table in a daze.
Hearing the footsteps, the little emperor looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu, Rong Chang had some awkward emotions on his face, and pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down." ”
"Your Majesty." Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yu saluted and thanked him.
Huo Shijiu sat down next to the emperor's hand, and Jiang Yu sat beside him.
The little emperor still hugged his knees, because he was thin, he felt quite comfortable in this posture, grabbed the ivory chopstick, and turned around and instructed Jing Tong: "You go and serve the Hou Ye and Mrs. Bucai." ”
"Yes."
Jing Tong took the chopsticks and carefully served Huo Shijiu and Jiang Yan to eat.
Huo Shijiu hurriedly thanked the emperor, and politely thanked Jing Tong.
Jiang Wei didn't have much appetite, but maybe because she was pregnant, she didn't reject the deliciousness, although the emperor didn't live in the palace, but the cooks were the best, and the natural taste of the imperial meal was extraordinary, so she didn't raise her head, but only feasted.
Originally, the little emperor had no appetite, and Jiang Wei also had an appetite and ate some vegetables. The mood is better, too. Naturally, you can let go of talking. The male duck quipped: "Brother Ying doesn't give his wife food at home?" You see your daughter-in-law is hungry. ”
Huo Shijiu was helpless and said with a smile: "The emperor is serious, where will he not give food?" It's Uchiko who is pregnant and has a good appetite. ”
"Pregnant...... The little emperor's eyes glanced at Jiang Yan's still graceful waist, and said a little complicatedly: "I didn't think much about it, I didn't call her if I knew that Lu Dao wouldn't have called her." ”
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Jiang Yu also joked: "Why, the emperor is still stingy with such food?" ”
"yes." The little emperor said seriously: "You can eat so much." Don't eat Big Brother Ying poorly. ”
"Then the emperor will give more money."
"I also want him to fight for his own strength, so that he can take Jinzhou and Ningyuan as soon as possible, the dignified Marquis of Jinning, you can't eat my internal money, you have to eat your own fiefdom anyway."
When the little emperor said this, he looked at Huo Nineteen with a smile.
Huo Shijiu hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The minister obeys the order." Ministers should do their best. ”
"I know that Brother Ying doesn't have to be restrained." The little emperor put his hands on his hands, and then asked with a smile: "Is the wound on your knee okay?" ”
Huo Nineteen was stunned and hurriedly shook his head. He lowered his head and said, "It's just a skin injury, it's not in the way." ”
"What about Sister-in-law Ying?"
Jiang Fufu sang with the wife. Naturally, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is fine." ”
"That's good." The little emperor didn't explain much, he only invited Jiang Yu and Huo Shijiu to eat, and didn't mention the punishment of kneeling that day, as if it hadn't happened, and he was still close to Huo Shijiu.
Jiang Yu's hanging heart was put down, she originally thought that the little emperor would hold a grudge and be unfavorable to Huo Shijiu, but now it seems that he is throwing an olive branch to Huo Shijiu first. Huo Nineteen, a courtier, can be so valued by the emperor, it is a little strange.
Jiang Yu remembered what she had thought before. Sure enough, between the emperor and Huo Shijiu, there may be many things that she doesn't know.
As soon as she thought like this, her face suddenly turned pale and her whole body tensed.
She had a keen sense of awareness, and she could clearly hear the sound of a fight outside, and she could also feel the surging evil aura and eerie fear.
Jiang Yu looked at Huo Jiu and the little emperor who were still smiling and talking, as well as Jing Tong beside her, they all looked as usual. No abnormalities were found.
In the emperor's courtyard, the guards are so tight, how can there be a fight? The assassin wanted to attack such a large mansion, and she could hear it until she could hear it, which shows that the local army is not weak, and the martial arts are not low.
While Jiang Yu was thinking about this, Huo Shijiu and the little emperor also heard the sound of fighting.
Jing Tong's face was panicked, and he hurriedly protected the little emperor, and asked loudly: "What's the matter!" Someone, escort! ”
In response to Jing Tong, there was a loud bang.
The closed door of the main hall was kicked open, and there were thirty swords-wielding guards dressed as imperial guards.
A group of merfolk rushed in, each armed with a long knife, and surrounded the round table in the antechamber.
The little emperor's face was frightened, and he asked in a loud voice with a trembling voice: "Dog minion, just break in like this, you can't do it!" ”
The person who took the lead pointed at Huo Shijiu, who had the same face as usual, with a blade, and replied in a cold voice: "Back to the emperor, it's not the ministers who rebelled, the person who rebelled is the Marquis of Jinning!" The people of the brocade guards outside have already attacked, please follow the ministers and others to a safe place quickly! ”
The little emperor's panic was even more obvious, and this time he even began to stutter when he spoke: "No, it's impossible, my big brother Ying, how can you rebel, you nonsense, nonsense!" ”
Huo Nineteen had already stood up at this time, and looked at the more than thirty guards with twisted eyebrows.
Jiang Wei felt a chill in her heart. The little emperor's fear was not pretended, and Jing Tong was not pretending to look at Huo Nineteen in front of the emperor in a trembling manner, could it be that Huo Nineteen really wanted to rebel?
"Your Majesty!" The head of the guard said in a deep voice: "Please follow your subordinates and leave quickly." The ministers will kill the rebels! As he spoke, the sword pointed at Huo Nineteen, and the fit was about to rush.
Who knew that at the last moment, under the gaze of nearly forty pairs of eyes in the house, I saw a yellow shadow flashing, and the guard was already screaming "ah", the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound, the guard's left hand covered his right hand, and there was clearly an ivory chopstick on his right hand, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
And the yellow shadow has flashed in front of the emperor, the petite woman protects the little emperor behind her, the dagger is held diagonally in front of her, and she resolutely protects the little emperor with a resolute attitude, her sword eyebrows are slightly raised, her lacquered eyes are sharp and her eyes are sharp and scan everyone, and the most inquiring one falls on Huo Shijiu.
The look in his eyes seemed to ask him: Are you really rebelling?
Huo Jiu just looked at her calmly, without any expression.
The little emperor and Jing Tong were stunned, looking at the petite woman who was a head shorter than him in front of him.
What a quick move! Good darts! What a beautiful pose! What a strong murderous aura!
It turned out that Jiang Shishi's daughter turned out to be such a powerful person!
She is like a cheetah, ready to attack, as long as Huo Jiujiu dares to admit that he really rebelled, she will not hesitate to fight forward and devour his life, whether he is her husband or not.
The little emperor's heart suddenly moved, and his eyes changed.
The injured guard was already angry, waved his bloody hand, and said loudly: "That girl is amazing, hurry up, protect the emperor, and the surname Huo will correct the law on the spot!" ”
The rest of the guards received the order and rushed forward in unison with their steel swords.
Jiang Wei was anxious in her heart, even if she had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible for her to protect the safety of the little emperor and Huo Shijiu under the siege of thirty people.
Huo Nineteen saw that the guards were surrounded, and casually picked up the circle chair and smashed it at one person, so he stepped forward to protect Jiang Yu and the little emperor behind him, and was looking for a blade, but saw a blood light flying.
The three guards couldn't scream too late, and the heads of Xiang Shang flew up together. The three corpses fell to the ground with a bang, blood flowed like a river, and as they fell, Jiang Yu and the others clearly saw that Cao Yu, who was dressed in a gray scholar's robe, had turned around like lightning, and stabbed him with a backhand, killing two more people, the guards and others were stunned for a moment, and they hesitated to rush forward with the knife, this person's knife skills were too fast!
