Chapter 261: Gambling Luck

Although the liquor is drunk, it is only a water vapor that is completely emitted after overnight transpiration, and the higher the temperature of the secondary combustion, the faster it will disperse.

The mandarin duck pillow is like a spoon seat, and if the children squeezed on a pillow are close to each other, the hair knots are entwined with each other, and the foolish laughter that is close together seems to be the same.

"Xiao Hong, I can see how partial my father is to you!" , Zhou Manyun, who was still drunk and flushed with a beautiful face, pouted lightly, and changed the title that had always been honest and fearful of his father-in-law to intimacy.

The price paid last night was just a few kicks from Xiao Hong. But Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, who has only entered the city for a short time, has swept away the biggest troubles of the young couple with a half-truth and half-truth. The maternal ancestor is the old Jingguo Gong, who grew up with Xiao Hong since childhood, and Jing Guogong invited Xiao Shizi to preside over the wedding...... Identity, affection, and fame, Zhou Manyun, who won his father-in-law's golden words in front of everyone, can be regarded as all in an instant.

"Zhou Manyun, you are really stupid and bold. I was scared. Originally, I wanted you to pretend to be virtuous and docile in front of your father! Xiao Hong, who had his eyes closed, tore off Man Yunlu's arm that was outside the quilt and firmly clamped it to his chest, and his nasal voice was thick when he had just fallen asleep.

The arrow was already on the line, and stepping into the door of the banquet hall was like stepping into a gamble. Fortunately, she was well prepared in advance, and she dared to gamble and win. Zhou Manyun squeezed his elbow behind him and said proudly: "You are worried because you don't know what your father likes, and you also underestimate his love house and Wu." ”

Everyone in the world says that Xiao Rui, the prince of Jingguo, likes tame and well-behaved beauties. But there was the eldest sister Empress Akihito, whom he regarded as his mother, and the eldest daughter Xiao Wan, who was said to like to discipline several younger brothers. Men's favorite type of woman in this world, when implemented, is mostly the mother-like one.

"We were really lucky! A few jars of wine passed my father's level, and I was really scared of half ...... at first", Xiao Hong laughed and stretched out his palm to rub the top of his wife's hair. Like a waterfall, the black hair has become a tangled vine. Without waiting for Man Yun to fight back, he turned over neatly, got down and dressed his sleeves, and pretended to be serious with a handsome face with a secret smile.

The better the luck, the more they have to cherish it, they must honestly do their duty as a filial son and daughter-in-law, and dare not squander it.

Zhou Manyun, who also immediately got up, curled the corners of his mouth slightly. Barefoot came to her husband's side, and first took the initiative to lower her eyebrows and pretend to be a good wife. Last night, Jing Guogong had a rule, just wait for Man Yun to see his mother-in-law in the future and then pick up the rules, and now Xiao Rui, who needs to be in Luojing, has no time to pay attention to the new daughter-in-law, but please take care of yourself. When she has to go to her father and send her husband out of the door, she can close the courtyard door and be her idle wife again.

The sundial grows longer and the people are happy, and the embroidery weak thread adds some ......

The newborn fine grass under the Ganyu Pavilion of the hexagonal cornices and bells looks like velvet from afar, although the day is sunny and rainless, and the sound of rain can not be heard, but the busy Zhou Manyun holds the scroll and reads silently according to the column. But I also enjoyed the fun of fragrant teeth and cheeks, which was very comfortable.

He Xianying, who was standing with her hands tied, couldn't help but sneak her eyes on Man Yun's exposed pink neck again. Since Zhou Manyun called out her original name that day, He Xianying has been tossing and turning for several days and has not been able to sleep peacefully.

In the fifteenth year of Yongde, she and her mother and sister buried their father Lou Lun in their hometown and came to Luojing. My sister Qiaoying is old and outstanding in poetry and painting, and as soon as she entered Beijing, she entered Tianxiangyuan with the blessing of nobles and was vigorously cultivated. And the mother-in-law He took herself to the house of his uncle He Li according to Tianxiangyuan's suggestion. At that time, the mother's hope was just that the sister who had reached the age of saying that she could add some talents to a good family, which could not only make the sisters rely on, but also help her father to clear her grievances in the future.

But then everything was far from the mother and daughter's prediction. Lou Qiaoying, who was praised as "Kyoto Plum Fairy", was full of young handsome people who begged to come to the door. But He's plan to choose a son-in-law was repeatedly suppressed by Tianxiangyuan and He Li, and even if He died, Lou Qiaoying, who had completed the period of filial piety, was sent to the deep palace. Lou Xianying has always lived in the He family and was also trained by Tianxiangyuan, but she has always been mediocre since she was a child, and she is not taken seriously. It wasn't until Xiao Ze entered Beijing that he recognized his uncle as his father and was sent to the Jingguo Mansion to fill the number.

"My mother was dying, and she once said that she was forced to die by He Li. also confessed that he couldn't go back to his sister's old path...... It's just that you want to get out of Tianxiangyuan and pick up Sister A, can you do it? He Xianying asked herself secretly, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Manyun's jade fingers.

According to the original plan, He Xianying wanted to give up her body and lose her face in exchange for Xiao Ze's temporary favor. As long as Qiaoying can be taken out of the palace, it doesn't matter if she will spend her life in the backyard of the Xiao family or send the male host to the soldiers. But the sixth grandmother in front of her picked herself to her side, but she pinched out He Xianying's idea.

In any case, she is the one who has been the personal maid of the sixth grandmother, although the time is still short. According to the rules in the mansion, unless the sixth grandmother takes the initiative to send her back to Xiao Ze, how can Xiao Shizi, who has a deep brotherly relationship, commit a taboo to accept the people around her brother-in-law.

And this woman surnamed Zhou knows Lou Xianying, but she has no impression in Lou Xianying's already pale childhood memories! She should be the same age as herself or about the same age...... He Xianying, who thought that she was a late bloomer, tried harder and harder to recall her childhood playmate, and gently pressed the corner of her sore forehead with her raised hand.

"Xianying!" , with a little affectionate call, the jade hand hung lazily, and a yellowed book was handed to He Xianying, who was in a hurry.

"I'm sleepy! Sit down next to me and help me read the story! Man Yun looked up with a smile. The small pavilion, which was still secretly visited from afar, was obviously becoming so boring that people lost their appetite, only the amethyst that was still on the top of the pavilion was slapping the green tiles with its furry tail from time to time, fluttering.

"The servant obeys!" , He Xianying took the book obediently, saw the ink characters and smiled gracefully, "It turns out that grandma is reading the story of the former dynasty, and she wants the slave to read this 'Liuhongji'?" ”

Zhou Manyun held his chin with his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and nodded.

The elegant female voice was affirmed, and immediately sounded with the rustling of the page, "It's late autumn, the sunset is shining, the autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves are flying...... Yu Shusheng was washing his hands on the bank of the imperial river, and saw the ink on the red leaves on the water...... The four verses of the poem on the red leaves are 'Why is the flowing water too urgent, and the deep palace is free.' Thank you for the red leaves. It's good to go to the world. ’……”

Good to go to the world? Isn't my mother's dying wish also to let my sister walk back to the world from that deep palace? Halfway through the book, the beautiful woman who was reading the book was stupid with words in her mouth, and there were tears in her eyes.

"The world is the same in ancient and modern times. For thousands of years, all the women trapped in the deep palace will have the same feeling when they look at the flowing water of Shaohua, right? Man Yun still closed his eyes. Whispering, talking to yourself.

After waiting for a while, He Xianying slowly stretched out her hand and closed the scroll, and said in a dumb voice: "Grandma, I once said that I had an old acquaintance in my childhood and had the same name as the slave maid, but I don't know where she is now?" Or, can the sixth grandmother ......", if there is really a so-called childhood relationship, can she also put the little hope she has left on this sixth grandmother who has never revealed her background in front of others?

Fengjin Zhou's family was robbed that year. Lou Lun should also be one of the accomplices. Even if he doesn't care about the past, but he says it too clearly and clearly, it will make He Xianying, who has been shaken, resist. The help sent to the door has never been valuable, but it is better to simply be mysterious to the end......

Zhou Manyun thought for a moment, sighed lightly and said: "In the story, Han Shishu Liuye Yuhe, the gamble is just a blessing from God. Buddhism has a saying: If the cause and fate are combined, all things will be born, and if the cause and fate are separated, all things will die. Everything in the world is nothing but fate to be separated, and fate to be together. The fate that came to me was also fleeting. Whether you can catch it or not, you have to gamble right but you have to do it yourself. The so-called self-help should be the same way, right? ”

An old monk who learns to speak well. Zhou Manyun quietly closed his eyes and breathed for a long time, spitting and swallowing, quietly counting his breath.

"Please also ask the sixth grandmother to save the maid!" , The beautiful figure who was originally sitting beside Man Yun in the Ganyu Pavilion suddenly collapsed off the stool, and his knees fell firmly to the ground.

The amethyst on the eaves of the pavilion happened to fly up and pounced on a string of copper bells, and there was a clanging sound in the breeze......

"Envy?"

The spring breeze is coming. Xiao Rui, who was standing by the open window, watched the figure of the sixth son who seemed to be walking happily and without dust, and suddenly twisted his thick black eyebrows and asked the eldest son who was left by his side.

Xiao Ze embarrassedly withdrew his intently gaze on his younger brother's back, and turned his face to look at his father, Ruo Qiruo's lips didn't know how to respond.

"I kind of envy that kid." , Lang Lang day is just right. Xiao Rui, who didn't fill the cat urine and didn't have outsiders around, didn't call his father-in-law or Lao Tzu looked at Xiao Ze seriously, as if he regarded his eldest son as a brother who put his heart into his heart.

"Maybe it's because my reputation for playing women is too stinky, but it makes the world forget that the Xiao family originally produced the seeds of infatuation. If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family only had branches for several generations, and there were no side branches and leaves, how could I encounter a bullshit rebellion and leave me alone. Since I was just sensible, my grandfather, aunt and sister ordered me to remember that when I grow up, I will definitely start a branch for the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Rui hugged his arms, his eyes were clear, and the laugh lines on his mouth were even more cold.

"Everything Daddy has done for the Xiao family should be enough to make the ancestors and ancestors feel relieved under the Nine Springs." , Xiao Ze stood aside, responded softly, and quickly thought about his father's intention to suddenly mention this matter in his heart.

"When I was thirteen years old, I was about to show my mouth in front of the emperor's brother-in-law, saying that my grandfather had arranged for his retainers to teach me martial arts on his deathbed. As a result, that night, he gave me to stay in the Yulu Palace, and arranged for the palace people to come to sleep. Disturbing the court? Hum...... Sister knelt in front of the Chengtian Hall for five hours, and promised Feng Baoqin the concubines in the palace in exchange for the grace of moving me to Yunzhou. The Yanzhou guarded by the Xiao family for generations is gone! ”

Perhaps because of the death of the deceased, Jing Guogong, who returned to Luojing as a victor, flipped through his long memories with emotion, "When I was young, I couldn't tell whether I slept with a woman or was slept with by a woman." However, two years later, I pretended to be crazy and stupidly killed the two palace maids who had been following me since the Yulu Palace. Xiao Ze? Xiao Jimin? ”

"Daddy!" , Xiao Shizi, who was called, responded respectfully.

"Kuang Shijimin?" Jing Guogong was in front of the window and shook his head vigorously, "Your words were taken eight years ago, just like fresh meat thrown to the wolves, for those old guys who stared at Luo Jing's green eyes." Otherwise, who will follow us? But at the beginning, when you were born, I held you in my hands, and I only thought that the big thing Lao Tzu had to do in this life was to let his son sleep comfortably with the woman he liked. ”

Xiao Ze, who had been listening quietly with a solemn face, couldn't help but laugh softly in his father's rogue and cheerful whispering.

"But Xiao Ze, you can't! What Xiao Hong can do whatever he wants, you can't do it, as the eldest son of the Xiao family, you are not qualified to do it! The Xiao family can't produce another Xiao Xiaoliu. When the son smiled, Lao Tzu's face tensed again, "Privately ask your uncle to help persuade me, and take the initiative to stuff the wine jug for Mingyun at the table...... Xiao Jimin, did the Zhou family have the courage to break into the banquet and report the news first? ”

Xiao Ze immediately knelt under his father's gaze, "My son doesn't dare!" The father has decided to forgive Xiao Liu, and the son has never told Zhou half a sentence, even the sixth brother doesn't know! ”

Xiao Rui's sharp gaze lingered on Xiao Ze's face for a long time before he turned his face and said, "Get up!" It seems that it was the stupid and bold woman of the Zhou family who made the right bet on herself. If she behaved softly and weakly yesterday, I would have to take advantage of He Kun's trap, and let Xiaoliu stop his wife and marry He Minglan from the He family's hard fortress. ”

Xiao Ze, who could read his father's resentment towards the He family, sighed secretly and lowered his head.

Originally, Xiao He's two families had a consensus that when Jingguo Gong entered Beijing, they would marry Xiao Long and He Mingqi in Luojing. But Miss He Si accidentally fell to her death in November, because the marriage was not publicized, Xiao Rui also intended to hire another daughter of the Li family for Xiao Long, but he never thought that He Kun still wanted to stuff a daughter of the He family into the Xiao family when he went north along the road.

Lao He Mo was stunned. I thought that if I was to prevent me from being false, it would be more stable to have an in-law relationship. But in fact, women, women are nothing! Xiao Rui shook his head and said softly to his eldest son: "It's not a matter to just screw him hard, for the sake of temporary stability, I can't say that I want to wronged you to marry one more concubine!" ”

"Daddy!" , Xiao Ze raised his face, a trace of surprise crossed his face, and instantly calmly clenched his fists in response, "My son obeys his father's orders." ”

"At the moment, we haven't gained a firm foothold in Luojing, Yunzhou is the foundation of the Xiao family, and your mother, wife, children, and younger brothers and sisters will not come over for the time being. The Zhou family, who picks people only clean and unclean, and doesn't look at people's background at all, can't afford to host the middle feed. I will also let out the wind in Luojing City, and choose another concubine for you from the famous ladies in the capital, and entrust you with the affairs of the government. After He Minglan came to Luojing after serving nine months of Qi decay, it would be good to let them be equal. ”

Maybe the father's original expectations for his son can only be realized cleanly by Xiaoliu, and it doesn't matter how much waste he has added to this pool. Xiao Ze skimmed the slight sourness, raised his face and smiled and responded to his father's instructions one by one.

"Since you are going to officially take a concubine, the women who are stuffed with mess in the backyard can simply be sent to Daddy! Anyway, Lao Tzu is lustful anyway! Xiao Rui laughed and put his son on the shoulder, revealing the good ruffians of the two brothers. (To be continued......)
