Their return was as low-key as possible, and they didn't want to attract too much attention, but after returning to Anlu, Concubine Jiang still prepared a table of banquets in the palace to celebrate Yang Chengzu's achievements, and also to shock her daughter. This is also the first time that Yang Chengzu is qualified to participate in the family banquet of the palace, on this occasion, his identity is a little embarrassing, but there is a great merit in rescuing the county lord, and no one treats him as an outsider, and the reception is also very warm.

In addition to him, Lu Bing also attended, and there was also a woman in her thirties with a graceful demeanor, Fan. This woman is the nurse of the prince Zhu Houxi, and she is also a member of the Xingwang Mansion, and she is also a friend of the princess and the Liu family, and she treats Yang Chengzu very closely, and really treats him as her own son and nephew.

said that it was a family banquet, but in fact, there were still a lot of palace people and eunuchs who came and went, and it was not an absolute family environment. But after all, it's not like outside, many of the etiquette are not so particular, and even wine and meat dishes are put on the table. Concubine Jiang grabbed her daughter's hand and looked at it for a long time, and after making sure that her daughter was unscathed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and kept thanking the gods all over the sky.

Mrs. Wang introduced that just before the Changshou County Lord and his party returned to Anlu, the Marquis of Shouning and Pingyubo sent people over. Everyone didn't say anything to apologize, and there was nothing superfluous, just to express condolences. But before leaving, Jiang Binna took out a lease of a house in Nanjing, a piece of land and a few shops.

"The house in Nanjing is of little use to us, the people of the palace can't move to Nanjing to live. People say that Jiang Bin is treacherous, and it seems that he is really right today, even the gifts he gave are so vain. Madame Wang was not directly involved in the business operations of the palace, but she was responsible for the expenses of the palace and was an expert in the management of accounts, so she was quite dissatisfied with the profits.

"My daughter, if he doesn't give me some houses and land, she will be fine." Concubine Jiang, who has always been gentle and generous, was rarely angry, and her tone was cold. "If all those things are thrown back at me in my mind, and I do it to my daughter, and then send some money, will it be all right? It's not that cheap! We are the descendants of Grandpa Hongwu, and we are the bloodline of Xian Temple, and we are not something that such villains can insult! ”

When she said this, she actually stood up and said angrily: "Jiang Bin, Zhang Yanling, Zhang Heling." If you dare to do something to my daughter, one day, the mourning family will definitely make you pay. ”

"Mother, be careful." Zhu Xiuchang hurriedly stopped her mother, and the county lord of Changning on the other side also looked at the people who came and went in a panic, as if she was about to cry. "Mother, carefully leak the news, if they let them know, something will happen."

"Something? Don't care, this is in Anlu Palace, it's our own territory, what can happen? Whether it is Shouning Hou or Pingyubo, no matter how they call for wind and rain outside, if they want to put their hands into the palace, I will cut off their hands with one sword. Let them know that this Anlu is not something they can do as they want. ”

In addition to the two half-grown children in the room, Shizi and Lu Bing, there were only eunuchs and palace people, and there were no real men. Only Yang Chengzu is a man in the true sense, although his official position is low and his status is relatively far away, but it is precisely because of his statement that several women have moved slightly in their hearts, and they unconsciously take him as the backbone.

Zhu Xiuchang helped her mother to sit back, and introduced in detail her past when she was ambushed in Sanguan Town and how she was rescued. Hearing the danger, he knew that she was safe and sound, but he still unconsciously raised his heart to his throat.

When he heard that Yang Chengzu led people to kill him on such a rampage, and cut down those great martial arts masters in a row, the eyes of several people had some brilliance.

Even Mrs. Fan, who was relatively calm, couldn't help but clench her fists and clench her teeth tightly, not knowing what she was thinking. Zhu Houxi's body trembled slightly, his hand grasped the chair tightly, Lu Bing's expression was not much different from him, and the eyes of the county lord of Changning were already full of admiration, falling on Yang Chengzu from time to time.

When they met with Zhengde later, everyone sighed, and they had already made their attitude clear about this matter, so they were not afraid of what would happen in the future. Concubine Jiang said:

"The heavenly family really still has some old feelings, Xiuchang, I also want to say a few words to you, the life of our palace is much better than that of Shengdou Xiaomin. Even if it is a people's home, the woman's family will serve her husband at home with peace of mind, and teach her husband and children. But you have to run so many businesses and work hard for the palace, this is where the mother concubine can't stand you. From now on, you can take care of our royal property in Anlu with peace of mind, and as for those businesses, don't do it anymore. The concubine would rather have a tight life, and I don't want you to take any more risks, you are my daughter, not the steward of the palace, do business risky things, let those slaves and maids do it. ”

As soon as she said these words, Zhu Xiuchang's eyes were slightly red, leaning on Concubine Jiang's ear, and the two of them talked for a while. Concubine Jiang suddenly announced: "Chengzu, this time you saved my daughter back, you are a great hero of our palace, and the mourning family will reward you heavily." The land deeds and house deeds sent by Jiang Bin will be rewarded to you, although you don't have time to go to Nanjing to take care of them for the time being, but one day, you will go to Banzai to listen to the errand. At that time, those land and real estate will be convenient to dispose of. ”

"Niangniang, it is the duty of the minister to save the county lord, and I dare not say anything. Moreover, this is also the county lord's blessing, and the minister's contribution is nothing. This reward, where dare the ministers be greedy, but the accompanying soldiers have a lot of hard work, or reward them......"

"In the palace, the mourning family has the final say." Concubine Jiang put on a blank face, but then laughed again, "Chengzu, you don't have to be modest. If it weren't for you, the mourning family would have lost this daughter this time. Today is a family banquet, and there are some things that can be said to be clear, the mourning family owes this daughter. For so many years, she has not received much attention from me, and when you think about it, it is a dereliction of duty for the mourning family. If something really happens to her, the mourning family will not be able to survive. So not only did you save her, but you also saved me, and this reward is nothing compared to your merits, so you can accept it with confidence. As for those people, I will also give them enough benefits to make them satisfied. ”

When the banquet was dispersed, Zhu Xiuchang was left by the princess to stay, she accompanied her mother to talk for a while, and then went back to the palace with her sister-in-law. When all those palace people were sent away, only the two sisters were left, and Zhu Xiuchang's expression was a little embarrassed. On the other hand, Zhu Xiuyan's demeanor is much more natural, holding her sister's hand and asking long and short questions, asking if she is injured, whether she is afraid when she is chased and killed, and what it feels like when she kills.

After a while, Zhu Xiuchang plucked up her courage and apologized to the crystal clear girl in front of her: "Xiuyan, sister...... Sister, I'm sorry for you, you're not angry with me, are you? ”
