Chapter 20: Competing for Favor
"Yo, although this girl is stupid, but I also bought it for a few hundred taels of silver, you have a red mouth and white teeth, and you will take it away when you say it, where is there such a reason in the world."
There was a faint smile on Jiang Mo's face, but he looked like a gambler who was bound to win, "Mom is so confused, since I have entered the Protectorate Mansion, the monthly silver will naturally be given by someone, is it possible that I have become the concubine of the little son of the Huan family, and I have to come here in person?" ”
The mother pondered carefully, Jiangmo was too difficult to control, sent the worthless maid in, and supervised her in a good way, so she had to be ruthless and gritted her teeth to agree.
***********
The whining north wind blew all night, and the candles in the ancestral hall that had only been placed last night were almost burned out, and the wax oil almost covered the tabletop, but the people in the hall still knelt straight.
And in front of him was his father's spiritual seat.
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and the cold wind mixed with moisture poured in violently, accompanied by a cough, but saw the protector come in with his hands behind his back.
His face was a little tired, and when he saw the man kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly ordered the servants beside him, "Get him up quickly." ”
The little guy around him hurriedly went up, and was about to step forward to help, but saw that Huan Yi had already stood up by himself. Seeing that he stretched out his hand, he only glanced at him fiercely, his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, "Stand down." ”
His voice was a little hoarse, and because he had been kneeling for too long, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell back from the beginning.
The Protector frowned, glanced at the little guy, who hurriedly closed the door and retreated.
There were only two of them left in the house, and the protector was full of sorrow, "Ah Yi, I know your thoughts, that girl is unblessed, even if she doesn't die that day, when Shangshu Mansion raids the house, she won't survive." ”
"Isn't it clear whether his father rebelled against him?" There was a fierce hatred in his eyes, "It's the current emperor who can't tolerate him, it's his father who can't tolerate him, people are loyal and patriotic, so you naturally can't tolerate others." ”
Xu was too angry, and the Protector didn't bother to refute him, "Ah Yi, this position and family property will always have to be taken over by you, if you grow up and study hard, I don't have to worry so much." ”
"The second uncle is now the royal history, I heard that everyone in the court praised him, why not give him the title, wouldn't everyone be uneasy." Huan Yan's face was full of disdain, and the position of the protector of the country was envious to many people, and he was the only one.
"I put him in that position just to pave the way for your future." The fingers of the Protector moved slightly, his eyes full of calculations.
Huan Yi's eyelids moved slightly, as if he had never heard it.
"Go back to your room, and rest for a while." After the Protector finished speaking, he pushed the door and left, and when he looked up, he saw Huan Yu standing under the apricot blossom tree in the courtyard, his warm silhouette seemed to be painted with a layer of luster by snow, and his face was calm and waveless.
Seeing him here, there was a trace of astonishment on his majestic face, but seeing that he was so far away, he must not have listened to the conversation between the two people, so he was relieved.
"Father." He walked over slowly, "The emperor called the chamberlain to come over and announce his will, asking you to enter the palace to face the saint." ”
********************
The Huguo Mansion was originally in the most prosperous place in Shangjing, occupying almost the entire street, and it is no wonder that the third and fifth princes of the Huan family, the foundation of these hundreds of years, is now also at its peak.
Xuan'er was frightened when she saw such a scene, and only said with a worried face, "Girl, let's go in like this for fear of not conforming to the rules, and we have to think about it in the long run." ”
"If we do this secretly, we won't be able to find our bodies tomorrow." The corners of Jiangmo's lips hooked up a hint of sarcasm, "Only when this matter comes out can we have the upper hand." ”
