"So what are we going to do?" Bai Zhi asked calmly.

"Otherwise, let's withdraw, His Royal Highness is not an idle person, and a few of us are not his opponents at all!" Bai Qi was already completely panicked.

"No, since he can release Bai Zhi, it means that his target is not our Dark Night Gate, or rather, he doesn't want to destroy us in one fell swoop so quickly!"

Jinsu then asked, "Does my father know about this?" ”

Bai Zhi shook her head, "In the few days I was detained, I never saw the master, so I don't know if the master knows.

Jin Su thought for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Let's hold our troops for the time being, and let's see what the Eighth Highness has in mind first." ”

"What if it's ......," Bai Qi said weakly.

Jin Su continued, "If he really wants to destroy my Night Gate, then we will have to fight against the water!" ”

After speaking, the three of them were silent, looking at the red-hot charcoal basin stupidly. Those who do their job live every day with their heads pinned to their belts, and life and death are not up to man.

This night, Jin Su tossed and turned, it was she who pulled the Baiqi sisters into the fire pit of Xiangfu for her own revenge, but now the revenge has not been avenged, and she has been pinched by seven inches, she feels guilty and very unwilling.

In any case, at this time, Feng Yao only recognized the identities of the three of her, and she must not let the entire Night Gate people be involved.

On the third day after Bai Zhi returned, An Heqing returned.

Although the family banquet had passed, Princess Jin Yan said that she wanted to wash the dust for An Heqing, so she invited them to have dinner together.

In the past two days, Jinsu has been worried about the affairs of the Dark Night Gate, and it was not until she saw An Xiayu at dinner that she remembered what she had agreed with Jin Ruolin.

"Father, is this trip going well?" Jinsu said with concern.

"Well, it's good," An Heqing responded lightly, and then looked at Qin Xiangyue who was sitting next to An Suqing, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, by the way, sir, Lord Tang from the Ministry of Rites sent someone to match, and he wants to marry our family!" Princess Jin Yan took the opportunity to say.

"Lord Tang? What kind of relationship does he have with our family? ”

"The fourth son of his family has taken a fancy to our Xia Yu!"

"Huh?" An Heqing was puzzled.

Princess Jin Yan smiled evilly, glanced at An Xiayu, and said, "Lord doesn't know, two days ago, Xia Yu and Jin Su went to Prince Li's Mansion to enjoy the orchid, but they won the favor of many sons of the family, and on the second day, the Tang family sent a matchmaker." They can say that although Xia Yu married in the past, although it was a continuation of the string, it was also married by Ming Media in the eight-lift sedan chair. And as long as Xia Yu marries, he will immediately give them another house to live in, so that Xia Yu can really be the mother of the family! ”

"The fourth son of the Tang family?" An Heqing muttered, as if he was trying his best to recall what the fourth son of the Tang family looked like.

"It's Tang Rongshu," Jinsu added.

"Oh~"

An Heqing only let out a soft oh, but he didn't say anything.

Princess Jinyan was obviously dissatisfied with such a reaction, and asked, "What does the master think?" The Tang family has also been an official for generations, although it can't be compared with you, but in the end, it is also a family dedicated to the court, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

At this time, the old lady silently sandwiched the dishes, and she was silent. Jinsu still remembers that when Princess Jinyan first mentioned Tang Rongshu's matter, she reacted the most, but now, she pretended not to hear it.

Looking at An Xiayu's mother and daughter again, the two of them still cowered and lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

An Suqing, he is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't count on it. As for An Yasheng, with a lively expression, I wish no one spoke for An Xiayu.

"Father~" Jin Su shouted, "Speaking of the orchid appreciation event in the Oak Prince's Mansion, Sister Xia Yu is indeed up-and-coming and in the limelight, and there must be many people who admire her." No matter how good the Tang family is, the fourth son of the Tang family has neither merit nor serious errands, in the final analysis, he just relies on his father and brother to live, and it is unknown what will happen in the future! ”

"Having said that, but Xia Yu is a concubine after all, is it possible that he still wants to go to Gao Pan's royal family?" Jin Yan glanced at Jin Su coldly.

"Su'er, who did you just say is still interested in Xia Yu?" An Heqing asked.

"Although he is not a royal nobleman, he is also the number one in the line in Kyoto City, and he is the eldest prince of the Mansion of Shangshu Jin of the Criminal Department. At the orchid appreciation party, he talked with Xia Yu's sister about Shenghuan, and I saw that it was a little interesting. ”

"Well," An Heqing touched his beard, thought for a while, and said, "The Jin family is indeed better than the Tang family," and asked Jin Yan instead, "Is the Jin family a matchmaker?" ”

"Ouch, master, it's just that the young man said a few words, where to talk about marriage, these days I can be in the house every day, I have never seen people from the Jin Mansion come to propose!" Jin Yan said coldly.

"Xia Yu, what do you mean?" An Heqing suddenly asked softly.

An Xiayu was startled, trembled all over, eased his nerves, and then responded obediently, "I, I listen to my father!" ”

"Then this matter, don't be in a hurry, at the end of the year, there are more and more things, and after the New Year, let's talk about it." An Heqing said.

Princess Jinyan swallowed hatefully and glared at Jinsu, as if declaring war.

After dinner, the old lady talked about going back to her hometown to worship her ancestors.

"Heqing, you haven't been back to Luzhou for many years, right?"

"Yes, my son also wants to go back to fulfill his filial piety, but the DPRK and China are entangled in everything, and it is true, I can't get out of it for a moment!" An Heqing said helplessly.

Then, the old lady proposed that Jinsu and Qin Xiangyue follow her back to Luzhou to worship their ancestors. also deliberately explained that Xia Yu would stay in the house and be a companion with Aunt Wang.

But Princess Jinyan said for the first time that this time to worship her ancestors, she and An Yasheng would go together, and also proposed that An Xiayu and Aunt Wang go, leaving only An Heqing and An Suqing's father and son at home.

An Yasheng was about to turn his face on the spot, but he was stopped by Jin Yan in time and didn't say anything.

Although the old lady was puzzled, she couldn't refute Jin Yan's proposal, so she had to agree.

Jin Su always felt that the relationship between the old lady and Jin Yan was weird, and Princess Jin Yan was willing to go to her hometown to worship her ancestors, which was really incredible.

After An Heqing, Jin Yan and the others left, Jin Su pulled An Xiayu and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiayu, what's wrong?" Are you going to break up with me? ”

"I, how dare I!" An Xiayu said stubbornly and aggrievedly.

"Xia Yu, did you hear me and Ruolin on that day?" Jinsu asked tentatively.

"I ......" An Xiayu instinctively wanted to deny it, but still didn't say anything, instead, nodded, and muttered in a low voice, "The person the Jin family wants is originally the eldest sister, if I marry it, wouldn't it be equivalent to robbing the eldest sister's things?" ”

"Huh?" Jin Su was surprised and smiled, "Silly girl, why do you think that?" ”

She couldn't think of how to stop An Xiayu's thoughts for a while, so she only said, "The Jin family is a good destination, but it is impossible for me and the Jin family, didn't you listen to Ruolin?" ”

"What?" An Xiayu shook her head.

"The Jin family has long since had the idea of beating me, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to openly rob people with the emperor, right?"

Jinsu's joke really amused An Xiayu.

"Okay, if you really don't want to marry the Jin family, I won't force you. My father also said just now, this matter will be talked about in the next year, maybe when the time comes, my father will find a good family for you. ”

"Well," An Xiayu nodded, and asked instead, "Is the eldest sister going to enter the palace after the year?" ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"I heard that the spring after the year will be the royal draft, the emperor likes the eldest sister so much, the draft should just be a formality, so that the eldest sister can be justified."

"Uh..... I don't know, maybe."

After Jin Su answered, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and a trace of sorrow slowly crept up to the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, by the way, does the eldest sister know, the fourth aunt is pregnant."

"Really? Now, grandmother should be happy! ”

An Xiayu pursed her mouth, shook her head and sighed, "I was very happy, and I was going to wait for my father to come back and have a lively family banquet, but in the past two days, I heard that the fourth uncle is sick again, and he is not lightly ill, and my grandmother went to the fourth uncle's house to see it in person yesterday." ”

"Did you go too? What did the doctor say? ”

"I said that I changed several doctors, but I couldn't say anything specific, just that my body was too weak or something, but the fourth aunt and grandmother were in a hurry."

"Didn't you go to invite my master?"

"I've been there, but Dr. Kong has been on a mission for the past two days, and he is not in Kyoto, so he ......"

"I'll be free tomorrow, I'll take a look~"

"Uh~" An Xiayu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's useless for the eldest sister to go." ”

"Why?"

"I proposed to let the eldest sister go to the doctor yesterday, but the fourth uncle refused to live or die, and my grandmother had no choice, so I had to let him mess around!"

Probably afraid that Jinsu would not understand, An Xiayu added, "The fourth uncle said that the eldest sister is a daughter who has not left the cabinet and cannot ......."

"Oh, I see," Jinsu replied lightly.

On this point, Jin Su also knows, because she encountered it last time, the fourth uncle disliked her as a daughter, saying that men and women are not kissed, hey! Life is almost lost, still so pedantic!

reconciled with An Xiayu, and the two talked in the garden for a while, until late at night and the cold wind was biting, and the two said goodbye.

I went back to Hanlian Courtyard, but I didn't see Angelica Bai.

Bai Qian muttered several times, "Where did my sister go?" ”

Jin Su shook his head, also very puzzled. Now that Jing Feng is not in the city, it is impossible for the Night Gate to have any mission, where will she go on such a big night.

The two of them sat around the charcoal fire and waited.

Bai Qi poked her head out from time to time to look, while Jinsu patiently played chess with herself.

It wasn't until the sound of the second watch that Bai Zhi flew in through the window.

Bai Qi hurriedly ran up, helped Bai Zhi bounce off the dew and dust on her body, and asked with concern, "Sister, where have you been?" I didn't say hello, Miss and I were in a hurry. ”

Bai Zhi hurriedly walked to the charcoal fire, handed an unsigned letter to Jin Su, and said, "This is from Your Eighth Highness." ”
