Chapter 396: The Turmoil of the Cutting of the Lord
Even if Yan Xiang is selfish to the extreme, she will never let go of the Li family to fend for herself, the mother and daughter are the same kind of people, when they were in the Hou Mansion, it was always the Li family who protected Yan Xiang, no matter what kind of cold eyes and reprimands they encountered, the Li family always protected Yan Xiang under her wings, even if the Li family did not gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion at the beginning.
Yan Xiang felt a little at ease, according to her mother's temperament, if the Hou Mansion really reached the kind of field that could not survive, Jinyun Kenting would not be able to get out today, since she was able to return to the palace unharmed, it could only show that the situation in the Hou Mansion was not bad to the end.
"In a few days, you take out a thousand taels of silver from the box at the bottom of my box and give it to my mother, the Hou Mansion has fallen apart since the separation, the second and third rooms are ruthless, even if the foundation of the Hou Mansion is already as thin as cicada wings, they are still divided with an iron heart, otherwise, where will the Hou Mansion end up in such a situation." Yan Xiang resented Old Madam Yan's eccentricity and cold eyes in his heart, and his eyebrows were stained with hatred when he spoke.
Jinyun's return to the palace has no waves in the palace, as early as when she left the palace, Xiao Yang had already gotten the news, but put a long line to catch a big fish, isn't Yan Xiang the emperor's person? I will accompany Yan Xiang to have a good time, once the game starts, it can't end at the beginning.
The sky was dark, the galaxy was hidden in the depths, the warm breeze of spring was blowing the weak willows and new green, and when the lights were shining, Qiao Yu and Yu Xiao came to the door before and after, and the two seemed to have made an appointment.
"If the two of you didn't make an appointment together, I wouldn't believe it, Qiao Yu, did you say that you came here in a hurry to eat, just to have this dinner?" Xiao Yang pursed her mouth slightly, the moment she saw Qiao Xu, she clearly understood Qiao Xu's thoughts.
Qiao Ling's favorite is Gardenia's craftsmanship, when he was in Qingyuetai before, Qiao Xiang went to the mansion every once in a while, just for the dishes made by Gardenia, after she entered the palace, Qiao Xiang rarely came to her, and naturally rarely ate the meals made by Gardenia, these days, Qiao Xiang thought that the taste was tight.
"Xiao Yang, cousin, I dare to guarantee that I definitely did not make an appointment with Yu Xiao, who knew that he also came to the palace today, and it was coincidentally chosen in the evening, if I had known that he would also come, I would definitely have come at noon today, not only earlier than him, but also in the palace to taste more gardenia skills." Since Xiao Yang came to the palace, before the time to eat, I tasted like chewing wax, and today I can finally have a good meal, treat my five internal organs temple! Joe was pitiful.
Hearing Qiao's tone of wanting to know him, Yu Xiao was not angry, and said to Leng Dusk: "Uncle, Yu Xiao came to visit him without offering a prayer post, please ask your uncle to forgive your nephew, I entered Anyunzhuang a few days ago, I mentioned my uncle to my mother after I returned home, my mother burst into tears, thinking of my uncle's newlywed Yan'er, and my mother had never seen my uncle's bride, she has always been looking forward to having someone who can accompany my uncle, and specially asked me to send something to my uncle." ”
As he spoke, he took out a delicately carved rosewood wooden box from his bosom, and solemnly handed it to Leng Dui, who silently took the small wooden box, and never thought of refusing in his heart, the things he missed the most, no matter what they were, were the treasures in his heart.
Yu Xiao is not as familiar as Qiao Xu, in front of Leng Dusk, he is always a little restrained, unlike those who are familiar with his friends, and he can't speak freely like Qiao Xu.
"Yu Xiao, you can also stay for dinner, it has always been rumored among the royal family and nobles that the meal in the eldest princess's mansion is a rare must, but I think that since Xiao Yang entered the mansion, the food in our palace can be regarded as a delicacy. How do you compare with the Eldest Princess's Mansion? Cold Twilight opened his mouth to leave Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao's face was slightly red, and he also wanted to stay in his heart, but as a junior, he was not as familiar with Xiao Yang as Qiao Xu, and the people in the entire Handu knew that the fourth prince of the Shaoyang eldest princess and the princess Xiao Yang of Tang Dusk were very good, and the two were inseparable before, and when he heard his uncle's crisp voice like jade, Yu Xiao couldn't believe his ears.
Qiao wanted to jump to Yu Xiao's side, put his arm on Yu Xiao's shoulder, and said: "Since you also stay in the palace for dinner, then when you go back, I will take your carriage, my third brother returned to the house today, you also know that I am in my third brother's special carriage, if you go back late, it is estimated that it will be another training." ”
The eldest princess of Shaoyang has four sons, and the concubine is a single-minded person, the house is quiet, Qiao Xiang is the youngest son born to the eldest princess of Shaoyang, Lao Beng, Huaizhu, and is the existence of the overlord in the eldest princess's mansion, but he is very afraid of his third brother, and since he was a child, he has only been repaired and cleaned up in front of his third brother.
"Third Brother Qiao is back? I didn't even know that I had asked Third Brother Qiao to bring me something before, and I must have brought it back this time. The first few times Brother Qiao went out, he didn't pass through that place. It's been two years. When he heard Qiao want to mention his third brother, Yu Xiao's eyes lit up, like a dazzling star in the night sky.
The sky was already dark, the breeze was gently blowing the Zhilan jade tree, the maid in green clothes was holding the delicacies and fish in, and the air was filled with fragrant smells, which was the unique taste of Gardenia Ling, and it was also the taste that made Qiao want to be fascinated.
A dinner was naturally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, especially Qiao Xu, the cups in front of him were empty, and they were eaten cleanly, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"When I went to the palace today, in fact, there was another thing to tell Xiao Yang, when I went to the mansion to deliver the post a few days ago, I saw that Yan Xiang's woman didn't seem to be at ease, so I was going to add a little thing to her, and I made a little move, the few shops left in the Xinyang Marquis Mansion are already beyond their means, and it is estimated that they will close down in a few days, my people will report that Yan Xiang sent someone back to the Xinyang Marquis Mansion today, and Yan Xiang's woman has bad water in her stomach, or the emperor's eyeliner, so I will communicate with you." Speaking of Yan Xiang, disdain flowed through Qiao's deep eyes.
The Xinyang Marquis Mansion is a big fall this time, the feet of the Son of Heaven are full of powerful people, the Xinyang Marquis Mansion is the lowest existence in Handu, Yan Xiang's only reliance on marrying into the palace is the origin of the Hou Mansion girl, in recent years, the emperor's treasury is empty, but every year he has to take out a sum of money to share those useless mansions.
In Leng Yang's heart, anything that is not beneficial to him has no value in existence, and the countless old Juefu has long been lost to the name of it, in order to reduce the burden on the treasury, Leng Yang can only take action against those veteran nobles who have become the burden of the Jin State, this time the Xinyang Marquis Mansion has no place to turn over, maybe it will be an opportunity for Leng Yang, with the Xinyang Marquis Mansion as the head, to open the knife to those nobles.
Xiao Yang joked disappreciatively: "Isn't it just the Xinyang Marquis Mansion, why do we have no scruples about the little overlord Qiao Xiaosi who is not afraid of heaven and earth?" This is not what you look like on a daily basis! ”
After hearing this, Qiao Xiang jumped up and down and retorted: "How is it possible, how could I, Qiao Xiang, be afraid of a mere Xinyang Marquis Mansion, just thinking that Yan Xiang is not the side concubine of the palace?" Yan Xiang's woman is a ruthless femme fatale, that one will make a big move recently, Xinyang Houfu has no place to turn over this time, even if Yan Xiang is a chess piece in that one's hand, Xinyang Houfu will never be merciful by that one's subordinates. ”
Qiao Xiang's words are like a stone falling into the calm lake and causing a wave, that one's big action involves Xinyang Houfu, I am afraid that Handu will be another turmoil, as Qiao Xiang said, all Yan Xiang's glory and dependence come from Xinyang Houfu, if Xinyang Houfu falls, Yan Xiang will no longer be the Houfu concubine she is proud of, according to Yan Xiang's paranoid nature, such a change may really make Yan Xiang fall into madness.
"Qiao wants to say that he is not wrong, the emperor is indeed going to make a big move in Handu, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet these years, and those old nobles in Handu have become moths who are greedy for pleasure, and it will not be long before Beicheng will be a different world, and the Xinyang Hou Mansion is declining more and more, and more importantly, the reputation of the Xinyang Hou Mansion is getting worse and worse, and it has long been a thorn in the emperor's side, this time, the Xinyang Hou Mansion will never escape." Yu Xiao agreed with Qiao Xu's words, and he also heard some rumors.
The good words of the two reminded Xiao Yang in his heart, there are countless grievances between her and Yan Xiang, the rabbit is anxious and bites, not to mention Yan Xiang's woman who is like a poisonous snake, Yan Xiang is the emperor's eyeliner next to him and Leng Dusk, once people fall into despair, they become more and more paranoid.
"Okay, I'll let people stare at Yan Xiang, the maid next to Yan Xiang did return to Xinyang Hou Mansion today, the news of Xinyang Hou Mansion has reached Yan Xiang's ears, if Yan Xiang gets the news, it is estimated that there will be some action in the next few days!" In fact, Xiao Yang is not afraid of Yan Xiang, but the person behind Yan Xiang is really a threat.
When the two left, the night sky was already bright, the stars were shining, and the evening breeze gently stirred the shadows of the branches and swayed in front of them, and the shadows of the trees were like mottled night.
The shrouded night was sultry, the house was full of spring, Xiao Yang's fluffy head fell into Leng Dusk's arms, and he said in a soft voice: "Is what Qiao wants to say true?" Is that one really going to make a big move? I heard that the northern city of Handu is full of Xinyang Houfu and the like, if Qiao wants that news is not false, I am afraid that Handu will be in turmoil again. ”
Leng Dui's voice was hoarse: "Indeed, the news that Qiao wants to get is not false, there is about to be a big chaos in Beicheng, and there are many marquis mansions in the whole Han like the Marquis Mansion of Xinyang. This time, that one was the meritorious nobles who were determined to rectify Tang Dusk, especially the old Marquis' Mansion and Earl's Palace, and it could be said that the entire Northern City would be destroyed. ”
The treasury is empty, the situation in northern Jin is unstable, and the Rou people are making a comeback, Leng Yang has already preset what the Jin State is about to face, and the empty treasury will be the biggest obstacle to the Jin State, the ancestors once stuck a knife in the back of the Rou people, and the Rou people are the most vengeful race, and the Rou people and the Jin State will have a war sooner or later.
