Chapter 129: Qian Yunhong proposes marriage
Although the old lady's unceremonious words seemed arrogant, no one in the audience felt that she was talking big.
Even if Zhou Xiantai, who was knocked on his hand with a cane and was extremely annoyed, he had to suppress his anger and didn't dare to be so presumptuous as Xiang just now.
Behind him, although he has the support of Empress Xue and the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shuai Mansion has 600,000 troops, and not everyone can shake it.
Zhou Xiantai was too angry just now, just thinking that Xiao Jinxuan was a concubine, and he just left after arresting him, but he ignored that this woman who caused him trouble was also surnamed Xiao, if he moved the other party, it would be provoking the majesty of the entire Shuai Mansion, and immediately this Prince Tai would be in a bit of a dilemma.
And Ji Lingfeng also saw that the situation was not good, he didn't expect that Zhou Xiantai would do it directly, but now Xiao Jinxuan didn't catch it, but made the ancestor of the Xiao family angry, so he hurriedly came out to play a round and said:
"Don't be angry, old lady, maybe you don't know that Huai'an Hou has already hung the beam and died, and His Royal Highness found that Lord Hou's death seems to have something to do with Miss Jinxuan, so he wants to bring people back to the ministry. If you stop like this, I'm afraid that you will be said to be short-sighted, and when the time comes, it won't sound good, right? ”
But as soon as the old lady heard this, her eyes widened directly, and then the crutch in her hand was picked up again, and it shone on Ji Lingfeng's chest, which was a fierce stick.
Just now, she even beat Zhou Xiantai, the prince, and said that she was beaten, Ji Lingfeng was just a nobody in the eyes of the old lady, and it was simply self-defeating to rely on the other party to be worthy of pointing fingers in front of her.
Seeing that Ji Lingfeng snorted and was beaten back five or six steps, the old lady sneered.
"Second Highness, the servants in your house are too unruly, the masters speak, where can he interject, as for the life and death of Huai Anhou, he doesn't care, you say that my granddaughter has something to do with this matter, but there is evidence, you can't just rely on a few words from you, you have to take people directly from my Xiao family, Jinxuan is a daughter's family, if she enters the ministry, how will she marry in the future, and where will my Xiao family's face go."
Every time the old lady said a word, she took a step forward, forcing Zhou Xiantai to retreat again and again, but there was no way to refute it.
Because they wanted to take Xiao Jinxuan away, just to cut off Zhou Xianrui's arm and suppress his arrogance, where did the evidence come from in their hands.
And the old lady saw that Zhou Xiantai was really talking nonsense, so she immediately laughed, and the dragon head crutch commanded loudly:
"Everyone in the Xiao family listens, let's leave here with the old man, I want to see who dares to stop the people of my Shuai Mansion."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady directly crossed Zhou Xiantai and walked forward first.
Zhao pulled Xiao Jinxuan at this time, followed closely behind the old lady with a serious expression, and also walked out of the guest house.
Seeing that the people of the Xiao family were really not afraid of themselves, and they said to leave, a trace of hideous color flashed in Zhou Xiantai's eyes.
The two families of Xue Xiao, one handsome, one literary and one martial, have always been incompatible and hostile to each other, so Zhou Xiantai will, although he can't wait to kill everyone in the Xiao family, he has to endure it.
After all, his grandfather, Prime Minister Xue Cheng, had warned him that if the Xiao family did not discharge their military power for a day, they would not be able to act rashly for a day, so he could only watch Xiao Jinxuan and leave unharmed under his nose.
After there was no Xiao family member in the guest house, Zhou Xiantai sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said to Ji Lingfeng beside him:
"This handover, His Royal Highness can be regarded as knowing Ling Feng, why are you so jealous of this Xiao family's concubine, she really has some schemes, and she also knows how to take advantage of the discord between the Xue and Xiao families to lead the old lady to deal with me, I didn't expect that there was such a cunning girl in a group of rough martial artists in the Xiao family, it seems that I have to guard against it in the future."
The Guanyin Yuan Marshal's Mansion entered the incense, for three days in a row, three people died in a row, and as soon as this matter spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the Jingshi.
In addition, when Huayang was born and incense, he also appeared the shadow of a snake, and made Guanyin fall to the ground, and everyone said that this is a demon appearing to harm people.
There is a folk saying that this mountain spirit monster is the most deceptive to people's hearts, and in order to harm people, they will first charm people, and then instruct the other party to do something murderous and murderous when they are delirious.
And the three murders in a row in Guanyin Temple, among the oral word of the people, are more and more divine, more and more outrageous.
Even in the end, everyone said that the one who killed Mercy and Huayang was actually Huai'an Hou, and this Hou Ye was given by the snake spirit to suck the woman's Yuanyin to cultivate the demon method.
And in the end, this snake immortal harmed enough people, so it turned into a rope and directly strangled Huai Anhou to death.
But no matter how the matter of Guanyin Temple is rumored, but Huayang's tragic death is a royal scandal, since the murderer has been identified as Huai'anhou, he will go through the motions and hastily close the case.
But what is interesting is that Huai Anhou and Princess Huayang, who were identified as having a relationship between the murderer and the victim before their deaths, because these two were still husband and wife until they died, they were buried together.
This really confirms the sentence, do not seek to live together but to die together, which I don't know whether it is ironic or sad.
But no matter what earth-shattering and bizarre things are, with the passage of time, they will slowly be washed away and become dusty memories.
June flies by, July is fleeting, and soon it will be August when the osmanthus is overflowing.
And the Huayang tragedy of Guanyin Temple has also become a thing of the past, and it is only occasionally mentioned.
is talking about Xiao Jinxuan today, the real behind-the-scenes planner of the Guanyin Courtyard, who is holding a Luo skirt, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, standing on tiptoe in the Forsythia Courtyard, with petals under an old laurel tree.
All the courtyards of this back house have the habit of planting trees, so they planted elm trees in the old lady's Ningtai courtyard, and took the homonym of more than every year.
And Shen Chuyun's Changxin Courtyard is planted with begonia trees, and the yard of the eldest lady is planted with locust trees.
The forsythia courtyard where Xiao Jinxuan lives is planted with an old laurel tree, and the gui and gui have the same sound, which naturally means looking forward to a good omen.
When Xiao Jinxuan was in Meizhuang, she had to pick plum blossoms every year and beat plum fruits, so this technique was very skilled, and after a while, she squatted on the ground with atractylodes and compassion, and each picked up a basket of osmanthus flowers.
And Shen, who was sitting on the purple bamboo rattan chair on the side, saw that he was almost done, so he stood up with the help of the maid Siru.
Then I saw Shen take out his silk handkerchief, walked to Xiao Jinxuan, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead for the other party, and said drowningly:
"Look at how old you are, and you are still a young lady, this work of picking bamboo poles and hitting flower petals, you have done it with relish, if the old lady knows, be careful and punish you again."
Shen is weak, although he has been conditioned by Atractylodes in the past six months, and has been accompanied by Xiao Jinxuan from time to time, his condition has improved a lot, but after all, he has not made up for it, and he still coughs a few times occasionally.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't want Shen to be tired, so she hurriedly took the silk handkerchief and wiped her sweat while helping the second aunt back to sit on the bamboo chair.
"Auntie, you don't know, osmanthus is a good thing, not only can be used in medicine, make tea, but also make wine, and cook pastries. Jinxuan looked at this osmanthus tree, it should be the best golden osmanthus variety, so she naturally had to collect more during the flowering period, and when it was winter, she would not be able to taste the snacks made of osmanthus flowers. ”
Taking the flower basket handed by Zhuxin, Xiao Jinxuan sat next to Shen, stretched out her hand to carefully select the remaining petals in the basket, and continued to say:
"And this osmanthus to cough and asthma, nourish the lungs, the effect is also very good, when I am free, I first pick out some petals, and then add warm materials, brew two jars of osmanthus wine. Although drinking too much wine hurts the body, if you drink a glass less every day, it is very good for the body, and when Jinxuan brews the wine, she will send it to your aunt. ”
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan thinking about herself in everything, Shen Chuyun's eyes flashed with love, and he also picked up a handful of osmanthus flowers and helped them pick them out.
"Jinxuan, aunt's body bothered you, in fact, I feel very happy to have you by my side."
As soon as the words fell, Shen turned around and motioned to Yahuan Siru, and handed a package to Xiao Jinxuan.
Then I heard Shen Shi say with a smile: "A few days ago, the old lady sent me two ice brocade yarns, and it just so happened that one of them was a lilac material with willow moon patterns. ”
When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she was directly stunned, and then she was a little distracted, opened the package in her hand, and then a dressette with exquisite embroidery came into her eyes.
Thinking about her previous and present lives, in a total of two lifetimes, no one has ever sewn a piece of clothing for her.
Even in this life, when she was in Yangzhou, she was already the first person in Xiao Mansion in the end, and she wore the best, but those clothes were just sewn by the embroidery building, and among her relatives, even her biological mother Yang had never made a single dress for her.
Therefore, seeing that Shen was looking at her nervously, with a look of fear that she would not like it, Xiao Jinxuan's nose was slightly sour, and she almost didn't cry immediately.
She and Shen are not mother and daughter, but from each other, Xiao Jinxuan can always get the feeling of maternal love.
Holding the skirt in her hand tightly in her arms, Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to cry, and smiled at Shen and said:
"Aunt, thank you, Jinxuan likes this Luo skirt you gave me very much, this is the best gift I have received since I was a child, I will cherish it, and I will never let this skirt stain half of it."
Hearing Xiao Jinxuan say that she liked it, Shen smiled even happier than her, and shook his head while laughing at her and said:
"You kid is saying stupid things, the clothes are not for offering, if the dirt is torn, the aunt is making it for you, as long as you like the aunt, you will be satisfied."
Just when Xiao Jinxuan was so moved by Shen's words that she didn't know what to say, suddenly Bao Ge walked in from outside the hospital.
As soon as she saw the treasure pigeon, Xiao Jinxuan's mood immediately regained her calm, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was already guessing in her heart what the purpose of the other party's visit this time was.
And when the treasure pigeon arrived, he hurriedly said hello to Shen and Xiao Jinxuan.
Then she glanced at Xiao Jinxuan crampedly, hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Miss Jinxuan, my young lady invites you to go to the main hall, Huai'an waits to meet at the house, and brings a dowry to propose marriage with my young lady, the young lady said that this is a happy event, be sure to ask the slave maid to invite you over."
Now this Huai'an Hou refers to Qian Yunhong, the son inherits his father's business, and as soon as Qian Ming dies, he becomes the new Huai'an Hou.
And after listening to Bao Ge's words, Xiao Jinxuan didn't plan to get up, she couldn't hear it, that sister was showing off to her, she didn't bother to get involved in this kind of thing.
After all, Huayang, as a princess, has only married a marquis, Xiao Jinyu's identity is not as noble as a princess, and she can marry into the Houmen, which is indeed a high marriage.
And Qian Yunhong will marry Xiao Jinyu, which is also expected by her, after all, these two have been husband and wife once in their previous lives, and now they are coming together, it is not surprising.
But Xiao Jinxuan wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but Bao Ge knelt down for her directly, and even shed tears.
"Miss Jinxuan, the slave begs you, you can go with me, if you can't please you, Miss will definitely not be able to spare the slave and maid, you can pity me."
