Mrs. Xu's energetic appearance naturally surprised the elders present.

After greeting each other, Mrs. Xu looked at the clan elder with the highest rank present: "Third uncle, what do you mean?" ”

The clan elder known as the third uncle narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you ask the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion to send us a letter and let us come over to administer justice for you?" ”

Old Madam Xu looked dazed: "What do you mean by this?" When did I send the maid out to find you to rule for me? What about the maid? ”

Without waiting for the clan elder to speak, Mrs. Xu pointed to Mama Zhang beside her and said, "If I really have something, I will definitely ask the most trustworthy person around me to invite all the clan elders." ”

A clan elder who couldn't hold his breath frowned and said, "So, nothing happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Old Madam Xu was even more at a loss: "What happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Turned his head to look at Xu Shen: "Shen'er? ”

Xu Shen shook his head and said, "As soon as the elders of the clan came over, they asked me to call my mother and Xiangxiang over, saying that Xiangxiang hurt her mother with a sharp weapon - it is ridiculous and ridiculous, not to mention how Xiangxiang, a weak woman, can hurt her mother with a sharp weapon." Xiangxiang and her mother have always had a deep mother-daughter relationship, and for no reason, how could they hurt their mother? ”

Old Madam Xu's face twitched heavily, and she could hear that her son was still dissatisfied with her breaking into Jingyi Courtyard without permission.

But now is not the time to settle accounts with him - in recent years, as his son's official position has become bigger and bigger, the people of the clan rely on their house and at the same time want to control their house.

She never thought of alarming the clan from the beginning of the fight with Wen Xiang, otherwise, this is the handle that she took the initiative to send to the clan - her son is not strict in governing the family, her daughter is disobedient and unfilial, what kind of face does she have as a lady? Not to mention that these clan elders are holding on to this matter, and they must seek their own interests, not to mention, they will always use this matter to control their mother and son.

No matter how confused she is, she will never allow such a thing to happen!

also blamed herself, if she hadn't panicked back then and was coaxed by the dead ghost for a few words, she would have really recorded that little slut in her name, and now there would be no bitterness that she can't say.

This is also a shot in the foot!

Old Madam Xu's heart was churning with anger, and she scolded her dead ghost husband again and again, but her face did not show it, "What Shen'er said is that Xiangxiang has just woken up and is recuperating, and now she can't even get out of bed, how can she do anything to hurt me?" Now I'm sitting here dignified, third uncle, do you want to believe our mother and son, or the little girl who ran to report the news for some reason? ”

Seeing that neither of them nor their mother and son admitted that there was such a thing, and this prime minister's mansion was not something they could search if they wanted to say that they could search, and seeing that Mrs. Xu was fine, several clan elders could only say a few words such as governing the family well, and then returned in vain.

When the clan elders left, Old Madam Xu's face immediately fell, and she glanced at Xu Shen deeply: "Don't forget what you promised me!" ”

Although she wanted to defend the Prime Minister's Mansion and protect her son, she also used the fact that she was stabbed by Wen Xiang to force Xu Shen to agree and send Wen Xiang to Hanshan Nunnery.

Hanshan Nunnery is an unknown nunnery, a day's journey from Kyoto, which was inadvertently discovered by Mrs. Xu, the nunnery is small and broken, and the sister-in-law inside must work by herself in order to eat.

Sent to that nunnery, it also relieved the evil breath in Mrs. Xu's heart.

only said to the outside world that her old illness had relapsed, and she still couldn't go out.

Of course, according to her intentions, she longed for a white silk to strangle her. But she knew that his son would never agree.

"Mother doesn't have to worry." Xu Shen raised his eyes, glanced out of the door, and said lightly: "Come in and talk." ”

The maid who came in was the light rain of Jingyi Courtyard, and she said in a panic: "Xiangye, it's not good, girl...... She's gone! ”

Old Mrs. Xu Huo stood up, her face pale: "What did you say?" ”

"The girl said that she wanted to eat plum blossom cakes, and she thought that there were many people in the house, so she wanted to stay alone for a while, so the slave maid and Xinghua went to the kitchen together." Weiyu was still panicked: "But when the slaves and maids came back from taking the pastries, they found that the girl was no longer in the house!" ”

"Not in the house? Where can she run? Old Madam Xu was so angry that she turned around: "This slut, she must be afraid of weakness, so she ran away!" Come on, get her back! ”

"Mother don't worry about this." Xu Shen stopped her with a calm expression: "You better find out the thieves in the house first, otherwise, I don't know what kind of news to send out next time." ”

Old Madam Xu's expression froze again, she always thought that the Xu Mansion was under her control, except for Xu Wenxiang, everything else was under her nose, but she didn't expect that someone would still be able to sneak out of the mansion to deliver a letter - her good son is complaining that she didn't take care of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Without waiting for her to ask, Xu Shen continued: "Xiangxiang's matter, just leave it to your son." ”

When Old Madam Xu heard this, her blood immediately rose again: "Leave it to you?" You just promised me to send her to Hanshan Nunnery immediately! Why, are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you have gone back on your word? ”

"Mother is serious." Xu Shen said lightly: "You didn't like Xiangxiang in the first place, and you wanted to send her away, but now that she is gone, wouldn't it save your mother's business?" Presumably, in the future, her mother will not have a chance to see her again, so why do you have to insist on sending her to Hanshan Nunnery? ”

Old Madam Xu was stunned for a moment, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped and jumped: "Xu Shen!" Don't treat me as a fool, as long as she is still in Kyoto, can you let her go? ”

Old Madam Xu trembled angrily: "Did you arrange this in advance?" You sent her out? Isn't it you? You're going to hide her, you're going to keep her open? Xu Shen, I don't! ”

Xu Shen did not refute, as if admitting Mrs. Xu's statement, "I promise that Xiangxiang will not appear in front of you in the future, as for the rest, if the mother can bear it, she will endure it for her son." ”

He got up and walked out.

Old Madam Xu chased after two steps: "You rebel!" You give me back! ”

Mama Zhang, who was cowering on the side and didn't dare to come out, saw that her breath was rushing and crumbling, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said urgently: "Don't be angry, come on, take the old lady's Ningshen Pill!" ”

In a hurry, Old Madam Xu took the pill, and her face seemed to be better than just now.

"You find someone to keep an eye on Xiangye and see where he placed that little slut!"

Mama Zhang hurriedly responded, stroked her chest and persuaded: "Old lady, the slave maid looks at Xiangye and seems to be ...... If you really have that plan, even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it, so it's better to be out of sight and out of mind. Anyway, Xiang Ye can't bring people back to the house again, it's better to let Xiang Ye go, in this way, you have made a big step to Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye will only have more respect for you in the future. ”

Old Madam Xu couldn't bear it: "No! I would never agree! That slut robbed my husband, and this little slut wants to rob my son again! I won't agree even to die! ”

When Mama Zhang saw her like this, she naturally didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she had to change the topic: "The maid who sent a letter to the clan elders, someone in the concierge recognized her and said that it was from the courtyard of the lady." ”

Old Madam Xu was stunned, and then she was furious: "She dares!" I'm going to ask her, where is our prime minister's house wrong with her, she wants to hurt us like this! ”

After that, he didn't care about Wen Xiang's escape, and led people to Mrs. Xu's courtyard angrily.

……

As soon as Xu Shen left the main hall, he asked Weiyu, "Is everything going well girl?" ”

"The girl went out of the house smoothly, and the person you arranged has been following the girl, so it will be fine." The light rain turned into a cautious and silent appearance in front of Wen Xiang again, and reported respectfully.

Xu Shen nodded and glanced at the light rain: "You prepare, and in a few days, you will go to serve the girl." ”

"Yes." Weiyu lowered her eyes and replied quietly.

She waited for a while, and seeing that Xu Shen had no other instructions, she couldn't help but whisper: "The girl only has five coins of silver." ”

Five coins of silver, for ordinary people at this time, is equivalent to half a month to a month's use, but in Xu Xiang's mansion, five coins of silver is just a second-class maid's monthly example.

The young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer satisfactory in the house, and she has never lacked clothes and food, and now she has five coins of silver on her body, and she is not very clear about the silver money. Although Xiangye asked people to protect her safety, he also made it clear that he would not care about her in the past few days, but he was afraid that the girl would be hungry when she was alone.

Xu Shen's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "It's good to let her understand the benefits of the house." ”

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't have to worry about food or clothing, she was bent on running out, and he let her.

When she has endured enough hardships outside, she will understand that his arrangement is the best for her.

……

Wen Xiang ran out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, just like a bird released from a cage.

She stood on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and really wanted to recite a poem affectionately-

"I'd better be free, and if all of this stops suddenly, maybe I'll really start to be happy...... Uh, I don't remember. ”

Forget it, she's free now anyway!

Hahahaha, don't feel too good about freedom!

Wen Xiang happily shuttled through the crowd and officially started her ancient tour.

This is also a novelty to look at twice, and there are many people over there to come over to see the excitement. He didn't pay attention to the gazes that looked at her.

A girl like her, who is clearly dressed as a rich and noble family, but she travels alone, and she doesn't even wear a curtain hat, how can she not attract the attention of others when she walks on the street so generously?

What's more, she is still alive with a flower and a moon appearance.

Many people forgot the road under their feet because they looked at her, and either fell or bumped into others, and for a while the street screamed "sigh" and screamed in pain.

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of a few gangsters wandering the streets.

They followed behind Wen Xiang with a grin, their eyes shining with lewdness, evil and excitement.

"When we get to a place where there are fewer people, let's do it!"

"Why don't you see where she belongs first? I don't think she is from a small family, in case she is from a high-ranking family, we will definitely not end well if we move her! ”

"If you're afraid, get out of here! Such a beautiful little lady, I don't care which family she belongs to, how do you say that sentence, peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic. Even if he dies, the master will have to be a merry ghost! ”

"That's it! When we've had enough, we'll find out where she belongs to, and maybe we'll be able to earn a sum of money to spend. ”

When the thugs said this, they seemed to have seen the silver beckoning to them, and they couldn't help but be even more excited.

……

Song Nanzhou was in his barracks, talking to Mou Shizhong's personal soldiers who remained in the Wuxiang camp.

These pro-soldiers all followed Mou Shizhong to fight on the battlefield, although they were pro-soldiers, their friendship was comparable to siblings.

Mu Shizhong was injured and left the Wuxiang camp, and the emperor sent Song Nanzhou down, but he did not explicitly say that General Mu would not come back in the future.

These soldiers with skills don't look down on idle people who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. But he didn't expect that the emperor would send a gentleman to take over the Wuxiang battalion, after knowing the news, these soldiers were very angry, and they were full of rejection of Song Nanzhou.

Hearing that Song Nanzhou was going to talk to them, these people had a premonition that they were going to be driven away.

Unexpectedly, Song Nanzhou opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty asked me to take over the Wuxiang battalion, this matter is too sudden, I am not very familiar with the Wuxiang battalion, and I am too lazy to pick a personal soldier again." I heard that you have done a good job by General Mou's side, and even so, you will also be by my side in the future, serving as a personal soldier. ”

He paused and looked at the surprised faces, "What do you think?" ”

After a short period of staring at each other and being silent, the one with the temperament said bluntly: "It was originally our blessing for the prince to raise love, but his subordinates are dull, and he is afraid that he will not serve the prince well." ”

That's what it means to be unwilling.

Song Nanzhou was not reluctant, and nodded: "That's it, if you are willing to stay, if you don't want to stay, you go to Lin San and say it." ”

Those people didn't expect that after Song Nanzhou was rejected, they didn't make a big move, and they were a little unable to come back to their senses.

I saw Song Nanzhou get up and stand there with his hands in his hands, not as flying and domineering as usual, but with an inexplicable precipitation and restraint: "Remember, from today onwards, in the Wuxiang camp, you should call me Song Commander Shi." ”

And not the prince!

Someone showed a look of disdain, a gentleman is a gentleman, could it be that after changing his skin, after entering the Wuxiang battalion, he can really rectify military affairs like General Mou?

It's just a matter of turning the Wu Xiang Battalion, which was already a plate of loose sand, into a more scattered, joke-like Wu Xiang Battalion.

……

After the soldiers went out, Song Nanzhou sat down and thought about how to rectify the Wuxiang camp step by step.

After a while, Lin Haoran jumped in and laughed: "None of Mu Shizhong's personal soldiers are willing to stay by your side. Song Da, what should I do? ”

Song Nanzhou didn't take his teasing in his eyes at all, and said lightly: "I brought Fuquan in and asked him to follow me first." These days, I will pick a few people who can be used to stay around. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Lin Haoran: "Do you have any good recommendations?" ”

Lin Haoran smacked his lips: "Of course, only those people in the north barracks can be used in this martial arts camp, and those turtle grandsons in the south barracks are all wine bags and rice bags like me." It's just that now that Mu Shizhong is gone, those people in the barracks in the north look at you like an enemy, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to use. ”

The barracks in the north in his mouth refers to the children of the poor family, and the barracks in the south are naturally the children of the gentlemen.

In the Wuxiang camp, the two factions are really distinct, and neither of them looks down on the other.

In the past, it was suppressed by Mu Shizhong, and it was not so easy for the gentlemen to find fault and bully the children of the poor family.

But now that Song Nanzhou is here, those gentlemen have begun to move.

There will only be more problems in the future.

Song Nanzhou nodded: "I know." ”

Lin Haoran was about to ask him what method he planned to use to select his own soldiers, but Fuquan said outside: "Master, there is news." ”

Lin Haoran walked out consciously, Fuquan strode in, and handed the news he had just received to Song Nanzhou with both hands.

Song Nanzhou opened the small note, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

"Qingluan follows her?"

"You told Qingluan to keep an eye on Xu Xiang, and Qingluan stayed in Xiangfu."

Song Nanzhou thought for a while, pinched the small note, moved his palm, and then spread it out, only a pile of fine confetti powder in his palm.

"Xu Shen will definitely not let her go out alone, let her go."

She can really "surprise" him, and she won't stop for a moment.

"Qingluan said that Miss Xu only had five coins of silver on her, and Xu Xiang wanted to make her suffer enough outside."

Song Nanzhou's eyebrows moved, and he waved his hand: "I know." ”

She really has the ability to make Xu Shen hurt Xu Wenxiang so much, and everyone who refuses to pay attention to her.

She deserved to endure the hardships.

……

Wen Xiang walked around for most of the day, but she was still unsatisfied.

Street stalls, artists, small merchants walking the streets, even water sellers, Wen Xiang followed people all the way.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Wen Xiang touched her cooing belly and planned to find a place to eat.

Looking up, I don't know what kind of place this is, she just followed the old grandmother who sold sugar and oil fruits into this alley, the old woman saw that she followed all the way, and saw that she was beautiful and well-dressed, while persuading her to go home early, and gave her the remaining oil fruits from the sale, Wen Xiang was really embarrassed, but still ate two - the taste was very good.

She grinned contentedly, intending to exit the way she came.

Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he saw a few smiling young men walking in front of him.

These people are dressed like gangsters on the streets.

The leader spit out the grass branch in his mouth, and smiled chic to himself: "Little lady, we have followed you all the way, and after walking for so long, your little feet are tired." Come, come with us, we have a good place for the little lady to have a good rest. ”

"Not only can you take a good rest, but you can also do something to make the little lady happy."

Wen Xiang's heart jumped, and she quickly glanced at the surrounding environment.

Ahead of this alley, there are ordinary people living there, like the old woman who sold sugar and oil fruits at the stall just now. Wen Xiang wasn't sure if she could get help from them.

And the only way out has been blocked by these few people.

They pressed towards Wen Xiang, their faces full of lewd and evil smiles, waiting to see Wen Xiang show a scared look.

Wen Xiang took two steps back, and there was a garbage pile of discarded furniture next to him, Wen Xiang retreated to the side of the garbage heap, and quickly pulled out a wooden board that was neither long nor short.

"Don't come over again, or don't blame me for being rude!" Wen Xiang clenched the wood, stared at her round eyes and shouted.

However, in fact, her heart has already been occupied by thousands of grass and mud horses.

What is this special thing, was the security in ancient times so bad?

Why is she so unlucky, she has been free for so long a day, and she has to be someone first?

Woo, the police Shu Huang help, the baby is so scared!

"Haha." Someone laughed proudly, and reached out to touch Wen Xiang's chin angrily: "What kind of unkind method does the little lady want to do to us?" ”

As soon as he approached and spoke, Wen Xiang was so smoky by his bad breath that she almost vomited.

She tried her best to hold her composure, and suddenly smiled: "Brothers, don't worry, isn't it just to play with you?" It's very good-"

Xu Wenxiang was already extremely beautiful, Wen Xiang pinched her throat and pretended to speak softly, and by the way, she threw a flattering glance, and this group of people immediately felt that their bodies were crispy.

"The little lady smiles so beautifully, I like ......"

Wen Xiang took advantage of everyone's trance to fly up and kick at his descendants.

Her strength was not small, and when she kicked over, the man let out an earth-shattering howl, covered his crotch, bent down in pain, and rolled on the ground like a shrimp.

Wen Xiang unexpectedly put down one, and before the others could react, she waved the wooden board and danced, knocking the other two people closest to her to the ground, Wen Xiang didn't fight, and picked up her skirt and ran out of the alley.

The three of these gangsters were put down in an instant, and they were all startled by the girl who seemed to be delicate but acted violently. Seeing Wen Xiang run away, he came back to his senses and chased after him - he couldn't let the prey run away so easily, not to mention that the prey played with them first, and then injured them, if they didn't hold the woman, how would they mix in this area in the future?

"Chase! Catch that stinky twis! ”

"Don't let her run!"

But they couldn't catch up, and out of nowhere, a few small pebbles shot out of nowhere, hitting the calves of those people, and for a moment there were screams of pain, and the gangsters all fell to the ground, watching Wen Xiang run out of their sight.

"Who is it? Who is plotting against us? ”

They looked up in panic and saw that there was no one else in the alley but them.

"What a fucking bad luck, this is a hell of a thing." A thug scolded and scolded, he was the least injured, and he was able to stand up at this time, and was about to see how their head was injured, when he suddenly noticed a pair of feet in front of him.

He hurriedly looked up, and in front of him, several fierce men were looking down on them viciously.

"Who are you? Those who are mixed up on that road, report and report their names! The bastard shouted inwardly, "How many of us are...... But Dongcheng is a tyrant, and we definitely don't have your good fruit to eat. ”

"If you provoke our girl, you won't have your good fruit to eat." The man in the lead snorted and sneered, raised his foot and kicked him out, "Blind your dog's eyes, even our girls dare to move!" Brothers, hurry up, and I'll send people to the yamen in a while. ”

There was a sudden sound of punching and kicking in the alley, accompanied by a scream like killing a pig.
