The south gate of the imperial city, outside the Jingfeng gate.

Yongxingfang, Ye House.

This mansion given by the Queen Mother is not large.

is only three in, and it is not even as good as the residence of an ordinary rich family.

Not to mention the comparison with the prince's palace.

But the more this is the case, the higher the Queen Mother's reputation among the government and the opposition, and the more admirable the Ye family's reputation becomes.

After all, in the case of the Ye family's heir, even if the Queen Mother gave a palace to the Ye family, no one would say anything.

Now that this is the case, it also makes the status of the Ye family more and more transcendent.

It's just because the Queen Mother has a decree that the Ye family is not allowed to interfere in politics.

In addition, even the only nephew is not good at power, and he is only an idle official in Taichang Temple, not participating in court politics, and living a life of reading and rituals.

All kinds of cause and effect do not touch.

Therefore, this faintly golden light shrouded in Ye Mansion is rarely visited by officials.

Because that's a taboo.

The Ye Mansion in Yongxingfang, from the outside, looks like a house of ordinary people.

Jia Cong and the waiter in Tsing Yi walked in the same car and entered the mansion, without causing a ripple.

It wasn't until the carriage stopped before the second gate that Jia Cong saw a person who surprised him very much, but was reasonable......

Today's champion, Cao Ziang.

Compared with him who was high-spirited when he met a few days ago, Cao Ziang at this moment was embarrassed, and there was only a thick confession on his face......

Cao Ziang, who was kneeling outside the second gate, suddenly contracted his pupils after seeing Jia Cong and the waiter in Tsing Yi talking and laughing and getting out of the car together.

The resentment and resentment in his eyes were terrifying.

However, he has also grown a lot, and when Jia Cong looked over, he hurriedly lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, he regained his repentance.

even, he smiled at Jia Cong and the waiter in Tsing Yi......

Seeing this, Jia Cong was stunned.

Even ignoring it, he said to the waiter in Tsing Yi: "Sister Lao Qingzhu go in Tongbing, I will wait here." ”

The waiter named Qingzhu smiled and said: "I don't need it, my son-in-law ordered it when I went, and I will go directly inside when I come back." In addition......"

Qingzhu smiled again, and said to Cao Ziang on the side: "My son-in-law ordered you to join in." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he saw a look of surprise on Cao Ziang's face, and smiled.

Qingzhu turned around, smiled again, and said, "Childe, this champion is here to pick up Xinghuaniang to go to work together." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, Zhuangyuan Gong is planning to fulfill his promise and marry Sister Xinghuaniang?" What a good thing! A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and it should be so! If this had been the case earlier, why would it be so regrettable......"

When Qingzhu heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "The son thinks too much, and people only agree to take concubines." ”

Also, at this point, how can it be possible to marry a wife?

If you take a concubine, you can do whatever you want when you get home, or you will be punished for kneeling, or you will be confined, or you will not be given food......

Concubine, thing!

Even if he dies of an emergency, the government will not pay attention to it.

But if she is a wife, in theory, she is on an equal footing with a man.

If you have a bad life, you are even qualified to propose and leave.

At this point, he is already ruined, and even if Cao Ziang marries Xinghuaniang as his wife, he will not be able to save anything.

Unless he can make a good poem comparable to "Gift of Apricot Blossom Girl", then it can be widely spread and save some face for him.

But can he?

If not, marrying an apricot blossom lady as a wife not only does not have any benefit, but adds another laughing stock of marrying an oiran as a wife.

How can a smart person like Cao Ziang be?

Hearing Qingzhu's words, Jia Cong sneered, without a trace of surprise.

Neither of them took care of Cao Ziang, who was almost unable to hold back, and entered together.

Jia Cong was dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, with long hair curled lightly by an ordinary hosta.

There is a jade pendant hanging on his waist, and he steps on a pair of Wen Dynasty boots.

The posture is chic, and the face is even more outstanding.

Walking with Qingzhu, he didn't fake a trace of color to Cao Ziang, but he must have a smile on Jia Congyan.

Seeing this scene, Cao Ziang, who seemed to be walking behind, seemed to have ten thousand poisonous snakes biting in his heart, and he was bitter with resentment.

There are 10,000 thoughts in my heart, I want to tear the person in front of me to pieces, and I want to add torture such as cannon branding and potting!

Even more so to draw that face into a Yaksha ghost!

It's just that......

What was left of his sanity told him that now was not the time to think about it.

If Xinghuaniang is not taken out of Beijing, she will never return to Beijing for a day when she is in Beijing.

This is a point of guidance he received after kneeling down and begging for a master all night.

Although it was only an insignificant sentence, because this was the guidance of the New Party giant and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Ziang enshrined it as a fairy sound jade decree.

In his opinion, as long as he does this, there will always be an opportunity for him to return to Beijing!

That's why he gave up all his dignity and face today and came here to pray.

Cao Ziang made up his mind, no matter what today, he would take Xinghuaniang away and take her out of Beijing!

……

Ye House, Xuanning Hall.

East Warm Pavilion.

Ordered Cao Ziang to stay at the door first, and when Jia Cong and Qingzhu entered, they saw the Furong Gongzi, who was dressed in a loose Confucian shirt, leaning alone on a chaise longue.

The appearance is indifferent and quiet, holding a booklet in his hand, immersed in it.

No uninvited guests were noted.

Seeing this, Qingzhu put his index finger in front of his lips and motioned with his eyes that Jia Cong should not disturb.

Jia Cong smiled silently, nodded, and after a pause in his gaze on the slender figure, he moved away.

Fall on the furnishings in the hall.

Although the outside of the Ye Mansion is not visible, it is not vast.

But there is no doubt that most of the furnishings in the house are royal products, all from the palace.

Nothing extraordinary.

This is not difficult to understand, there are only so many people in the Queen Mother's family, and there is only one niece and granddaughter.

No matter how much she rewards, there will be no unsightly people who will write against it.

No stupid person would do that.

Therefore, there is no need to trespass......

And this warm pavilion is mostly used as a study.

In the middle of the warm pavilion is placed a wide red sandalwood carved phoenix marble bookcase, and the bookcase is full of pen inkstone books.

On the walls, there are calligraphy and paintings of various celebrities in the previous dynasty, all of which are treasures.

There are four incense tables on the ground, each of which is placed on a fine incense burner with wood carving and gold lacquer.

However, only one incense burner was covered with smoke, and the incense mist was thick.

But the aroma is not strong.

The most special thing is probably the small copper turtle and bronze crane on both sides of the marble case.

The bronze crane is happy and auspicious, and the copper turtle is rich and long-lived.

Only this pair of furnishings shows the extraordinary nature of the Ye family.

This thing must be a royal product, and it is not for the family of human ministers.

Even, it won't be given by the Queen Mother.

Most of them are the emperor or the emperor today......

"Bell!"

"Bell!"

The Western table clock hanging on the wall outside emitted a burst of bells, which also interrupted the hard reading of the princess of Furong.

She looked up and glared out with some annoyance, as if she had been bluffed.

came back to his senses and stretched lazily again.

Just when she raised her hand, Jia Cong saw four big characters on the cover of the book she worked hard for:

Talk about different things.

Seeing this, Jia Cong's face became strange.

I thought that this noble woman was working hard, but it turned out to be this......

Jia Cong's own copy of the book, don't you know what the content of this book is?

Although most of them are strange things about gods and ghosts, there are also a lot of things about men and women, as well as things about people and ghosts, things about people and animals, things about men and men......

This book has all the themes that can arouse the sullen nature of those who read.

At the starting point of the later generations, it is all a proper 404 content.

All in all, the yellow book also!

It's strange that this Furong boy is so fascinated......

It turns out that not only later generations, but even the girls of this era have the ambition to peek at humanity......

At this time, Fleur also saw the "uninvited guest" who entered the house.

Seeing Jia Cong's handsome face again, he looked at his raised hand strangely......

Furong Gongzi reacted immediately, his pretty face flew over a cloud, glared at Jia Cong, and he actually hit a rake first, and asked, "At a young age, even read such books?" It's ridiculous! ”

Jia Cong looked at the pretty face of the Furong boy dumbfounded, wanting to see how many feet thick the white face was as jade!

What sustained her to say these words with great righteousness......

"Poof!"

Qingzhu, the waiter on the side, was amused by the exchange between the two, but after seeing the eyes of the two at the same time, he quickly shut up.

I couldn't help but "wail" in my heart: It's so beautiful!

There is no need to do anything, no need to say much, the two of them just stand opposite each other like this, and they are so pleasing to the eye......

After Qingzhu interrupted, Furong Gongzi bypassed this stubble, casually threw the "forbidden book" in his hand aside, raised his chin to Jia Cong, and said indescribably chic, "Sit down, there are not so many rules in my place, besides......

Now that you have become the son of Rongguofu, in terms of grade, you are higher than me. ”

After Jia Cong found a chair and sat down, he said with a faint smile: "Childe said he was laughing." ”

At this time, a maid came in from outside, came in to serve tea, and after Jia Cong took the tea, he politely thanked him and took a sip.

Seeing his movements, like clouds and water, and there was nothing inhibited, Furong Gongzi smiled and gave Qingzhu a look.

After Qingzhu turned around, Furong Gongzi said again: "I urgently invite you to come this time, not for anything else, because Cao Ziang came to pick up people."

Last time, you asked me to temporarily protect the apricot blossom girl, and there have been a lot of big people who have come forward to intercede these days, which annoys me......"

Jia Cong bowed slightly and thanked: "It's troublesome." ”

Furong Gongzi raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's nothing troublesome, I can't live up to your trust......

However, you also said that day, if Cao Ziang sincerely turned back, you would also be happy to see it.

Now that he's coming to pick him up, what do you say? ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "It's better to invite Xinghuaniang and Cao Ziang first." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Qingzhu and another maid, leading Xinghuaniang, who had not seen her for several days, in.

Xinghuaniang's complexion is not good, which shows that she has been worried and tormented in the past few days.

However, when he saw Jia Cong, his eyes lit up and he showed joy.

Jia Cong nodded.

Then, four more expressionless grandmothers, with strong bodies, lured Cao Ziang in.

"Apricot Blossom Lady ......"

Cao Ziang is a smart person in the end, and after coming in, he greeted Xinghuaniang excitedly.

Xinghuaniang, who was originally nervous and worried in her heart, seemed to have returned to her first appearance after seeing Cao Ziang like this, and her expression was obviously shaken.

Above, Furong Gongzi looked at Jia Cong with a playful look......

"Xinghua Niang, I'll take you home!"

After Cao Zi said this sentence with great affection, he saw Xinghuaniang's face moved, and he couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart, thinking it was a good sign.

After a few days of bad luck, it's finally time to get going......

But at this moment, he heard the sound next to him that made him want to tear and smash in his dreams:

"Ahem, wait a minute......

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Seeing Xue Baochai, who had never been so out of shape, come in with tears streaming down her face, full of panic, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were taken aback.

Aunt Xue stood up and said hurriedly, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Mother Jia also frowned and said, "But the sisters are bickering?" ”

Mrs. Wang interjected on the side: "No, Bao Yatou has never been a frivolous person, and she rarely quarrels with others." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she glanced at her sideways.

But at this time, I didn't care about these things, so I saw Xue Baochai come forward and complain to Aunt Xue, who had an ominous feeling: "Mom, my brother has caused a big accident and was locked and ......taken away by the Jinyi army."

"Huh?!"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was shocked like five thunderbolts.

I couldn't even speak, and I was shaky.

Wang Xifeng was busy supporting her on the side, and asked one after another: "It's so decent, why did you let people take it away?" ”

The face was also suspicious, it was not the Chang'an County Ya, it was the Jinyi pro-army.

A noble family like the Jia family, generally speaking, unless it involves a major crime such as plotting against the family and stealing the family, how can there be people from the public family who generally come to the door?

What's more, it's still the brocade pro-army, the minions of the Son of Heaven!

Xue Baochai saw Aunt Xue bluffing like this, and she couldn't care about crying.

She is a very sensible person, knowing that at this time, if she is weak, Aunt Xue will suffer even more......

Therefore, I forcibly suppressed the panic and pain in my heart, calmed down, and said today's events impartially, slowly......
