After buying vegetarian food, after the carriage traveled for a while, Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered that Jiang Xuan wanted to eat the pastries of Wangjiang Tower, so he instructed the coachman to turn the head of the car and go to Wangjiang Tower.

Because of the old lady's death, everyone in the Jiang family has to keep filial piety, Jiang Ling's marriage, the marriage period is in the heat of filial piety, if you don't marry at this time, you have to wait for three years, and the man can't afford to wait.

In order not to wait for three years, in Re Xiaoli, Jiang Ling has already married.

As for Jiang Xuan, because she is a concubine, the third wife of the family who came to kiss is not very attractive, and she is not very old anyway, so she can afford to wait.

Although it is said that filial piety, but the people who really like it, it is not that they can't wait, and they can still say kiss in private.

The third wife is indeed dedicated to Jiang Xuan, which also makes Jiang Xuan sigh in her heart, no matter how the third wife behaves in Jiang Chong's affairs, but she is indeed very good for her own room.

No one is perfect, so that's all we can say.

Jiang Ling got married, and now there are only two girls in the family, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xuan, and the relationship is closer than before.

The only carefree time for women in this era is about the time when they are not married in their parents' family.

When he arrived at Wangjiang Tower, Jiang Xuan got out of the carriage, and the pastries that Jiang Xuan wanted to eat had to be made first, and the time was a little long, so it was better to go to Wangjiang Tower by the way to sit down.

There are not many people who come to Wangjiang Tower at this hour, Jiang Xuan told the shopkeeper what he wanted, and asked for a private room upstairs, and just went to the second floor, he saw a private room door open at the corner of the stairs.

Seeing the person who opened the door, Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Murong Han.

After the last fish banquet, she hadn't seen Murong Han again, pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and prepared to go to the room next door to Murong Han.

Murong Han stood there, he was talking to Xu Bin in the private room, and he heard a slight footstep coming from the staircase, and then the sound became louder and louder, and the sound of the footsteps stepping out was very familiar.

It seemed to step on his heart, leaving ripples in circles.

His heartbeat instantly accelerated, he got up quickly, went to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Xuan appear at the staircase.

At this moment, Murong Han's gaze was almost greedy, and the back of his hand grasping the door frame was tense, even if he looked at it, he could feel the stiffness of his body.

Xu Bin, who was in the seat, felt his strangeness, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Xuan paused slightly when she heard the voice, and secretly raised her eyes to take a look at the situation in the room through the gap in Murong Han's body, but the crack in the door was too small, Murong Han's figure was too tall, and she didn't see anything.

She wrinkled her nose, the voice was familiar......

Murong Han heard Xu Bin's voice, his body slowly relaxed, the untimely expressions on his face had faded cleanly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan nodded and went to the next room.

Looking at Jiang Xuan's back, Murong Han's face gradually became barren, what a ruthless girl.

When the door of the compartment was closed, Murong Han turned around and said, "Young Master Ben doesn't want to talk about things today, you can go first." ”

Before the two of them could start talking, they were driven out, and Xu Bin didn't say anything, stood up to say goodbye, and walked to the door of the house.

"Don't go through that door." Murong Han stopped him, but pressed it somewhere in the room, and a small door appeared on the originally flat wall, leading to another private room.

"The young master is very proficient in the organs of Wangjiang Tower." Xu Bin sneered.

Murong Han made a farewell expression, and the door gradually closed again.

He stood in the room for a while, leaning against the wall connected to Jiang Xuan's room, although he couldn't hear her voice and couldn't see her people.

But so quietly, I feel like I am in the same space as her.

When Jiang Xuan came out again, the door of the private room where Murong Han was just now was wide open, and Xiao Er was packing up his things.

She stood at the door for a while, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, Xiao Er, who was buried in tidying up, raised her head, saw that it was Jiang Xuan, bowed down and said, "Girl, your private room is next door......"

He thought that Jiang Xuan had gone to the clean room and got lost when he turned around.

Jiang Xuan smiled and followed his words and said, "Yes, it looks pretty much the same, but I made a mistake." I was just about to say why you removed my equipment......"

Xiao Er said, "Many of our guests here will make mistakes, but it is easy to distinguish, you see, in addition to the different names of the halls, the door handles are also different." ”

Jiang Xuan didn't want to inquire about this, she looked inside, the other utensils on the table had been cleaned up by Xiao Er, but only half a plate of pastries was still on it, she asked,

"Who were the last guests in this room? I didn't expect him to like the peach blossom cake in your store, and I like it too, it seems that he is a fellow practitioner. ”

Xiao Er's face was proud, "The peach blossom cake in our store is a must, there are a lot of people who like it, there were two young male customers here, which son is it, the little one is shallow, I don't know very well." ”

Jiang Xuan just heard a familiar voice, but he didn't see anyone, so he wanted to try his luck and see if Xiao Er would know.

It turns out that he doesn't know either?

After returning home from Wangjiang Tower, Jiang Xuan asked Biyun to send the pastries that Jiang Xuan wanted to the third room.

She sat on the couch, thinking about the voice she heard in Wangjiang Tower, which was very familiar, and it should be someone she knew.

It's just that, for a while, she couldn't remember who it was.

She guessed that it was Murong Hui, but Murong Hui's voice was hoarse and strange, the same as his people.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't expect it to be, and later, she put it down.

Maybe it's because he has too much heart, Murong Han stays in the capital, and it is impossible to always stay in the guest courtyard of Honglu Temple, and he will definitely walk around.

……

On the other side of the third room, the third wife went to see Jiang Xuan with a roster.

"Look at the portraits here, I picked a few for you, you can see if you like it, if you like it, I will ask the matchmaker to ask the man out to meet."

The third wife showed the portraits to Jiang Xuan one by one.

Jiang Xuan put down the pastry in his hand and said helplessly, "Mother, now our family is still keeping filial piety to our grandmother, isn't it okay to make such a big fanfare?" ”

The third lady pursed her lips, put the portrait on the table, and looked at the plate of pastries.

"When did you go out? How did I not know? ”

Jiang Xuan knew that she was asking about pastries, so she said, "This is what the eldest sister brought back to me from her trip two days ago." Didn't I have someone send a plate to your house? ”

The third lady suddenly realized, a little embarrassed, "I forgot, speaking of which, you said to keep filial piety, your grandmother was not buried in the ancestral grave, what kind of grandmother is it?" If you do such a big rebellious thing, our family is kind, if it is someone else, it is not what to do. ”

"Mother, once the things that grandmother did are really put on the table, even my father will not be good, so it is better to leave it like this."

Jiang Xuan is also indescribable to this mother-in-law, she is very good to herself, and her own daughter is nothing more than that.

But sometimes, it's really confusing, as if you can't grasp the point.

"I also know, isn't that uncomfortable? Keeping filial piety at home like this, you can't go anywhere, fortunately, there are still your things to take care of, and your brother doesn't want me to worry about it like this. ”

The third lady picked up the portrait and looked at it again, and said to Jiang Xuan from time to time that this looks good, and that looks good.

"Jiang Xuan saw that Xiao was about to marry the emperor, but I didn't expect this girl to have such a transformation, if you please her, you will benefit in the future."

Speaking of this, the third wife was envious in her heart.

She heard that when Jiang Xuan was in Jinling, she knew the Emperor Taishang who was on patrol in Weifu, and she didn't know the identity of the Emperor Taishang at that time, so she had this acquaintance.

Jiang Xuansheng is good, obviously full of martial arts and tall figure, but his waist is thin, which makes people want to take it into his arms and protect it well.

No wonder the emperor is tempted, and he wants to marry her as a wife, because he has to make people sigh that she is lucky.

If you have guarded the widow and retired from your relatives, people's lives are really indescribable.

Nowadays, not only at home, but also outside, how many people are holding Jiang Xuan.

Even Jiang Xuan, after the one hundred and eighty dowry, came to kiss the family, which was up a notch, but it happened to meet the death of the old woman.

Anyway, Jiang Xuan can still use energy, and he can also pick a good family.

It's Jiang Xuan, and when she gets filial piety in the house for three years, she will be a girl in her twenties by then, but the emperor is not young.

"If you know that the Emperor Taishang has lived in Cixuanguan, what's the matter, I want you to give it a try......"

Jiang Xuan felt that the third wife was really a fool talking in her dreams, who was the emperor? How is it possible to get close to people at will?

Seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't care, the third lady took her hand and stood up.

"Let's go, let's go to Biyue Pavilion to see your eldest sister, the sisters should be closer, and you should go to her more in the future."

Jiang Xuan's face was a little ugly, originally the relationship between her and her eldest sister was still good, and they didn't have any entanglements of interest with each other, especially this year, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds.

"Mother, forget it, I often go back there. If you go, you're causing chaos. Jiang Xuan refused to go, what the third wife did, even if others forgot it, she would not forget it.

Now that she and Jiang Xuan have a good relationship, it is all because of the relationship between her father, and she can't let the third wife destroy the harmony they have established with great difficulty.

But the third wife was not something she could easily refute, so she could only get, "Mother, why don't I go by myself." ”

The third wife didn't care about this, and just left.

Who knows, when they said outside the Biyue Pavilion, they were stopped by their mother-in-law.

The woman smiled and said, "The third wife, the fourth girl, the eldest girl is not here today." ”

The third lady felt that these people were blocking them from seeing Jiang Xuan, and frowned,

"What's not there, you can't lie to me, right?"

"How dare the slave lie to you, Third Lady." The mother-in-law shouted injustice, "It's really early this morning, someone came to the palace to announce the decree, saying that the queen mother wanted to see the eldest girl, so the second wife and the eldest girl entered the palace." ”

The mother-in-law is neither humble nor arrogant, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until the evening, why don't you come back then?" ”

Jiang Xuan's mother-in-law has never stopped her when she came, and it seems that the eldest sister is indeed not there.

She pulled the third lady's clothes, "Mother, let's go back first, and I'll come back to the eldest sister in the evening." ”

The third lady had no choice but to say, "If you girls come back, send someone to inform you." ”

The mother-in-law smiled and should be.

Jiang Xuan did enter the palace with the second wife today.

Someone came to the palace early in the morning to announce the decree, and she and her second wife immediately entered the palace by order.

The second wife took her to Yongfu Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, who originally entered the palace and should have gone to see the Empress.

"The queen has a big belly and low energy now, so don't bother, I know that your family is keeping filial piety, and I shouldn't have bothered her, but the old woman is too lonely and wants to find someone to talk to, so I let you enter the palace."

"Later, there will be a girl from the Chengen Mansion entering the palace, and you can also get to know each other."

The Empress Dowager explained, and then beckoned to Jiang Xuan and asked her to come closer.

"I also knew about the carriage, and I originally thought that I would summon you into the palace the next day to ask, but Changsheng said no, so I will listen to him."

The Empress Dowager took her hand and looked left and right.

For Jiang Xuan, Mrs. Jiang has been like that since she was a child, and as for her grandmother, she hasn't seen her much, and suddenly there is one who looks so kind and cares about herself, and she feels very good.

She said softly, "It's okay to worry about Niangniang, but it's just startled." ”

"Maybe someone doesn't want to see me get the blue eyes of the emperor." She pursed her lips and whispered.

The second wife was on the side, just smiling and not saying a word, it seemed that this niece, in front of the Queen Mother, was also open.

The Empress Dowager patted Jiang Xuan's hand, asked her to sit beside her, and said with a smile, "It's okay if people are fine, I have already said immortality, let him find out the black hand quickly." ”

Jiang Xuan owed slightly, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, why is it not a great wealth in the eyes of others?" Naturally, some people are red-eyed. ”

"But why don't those people look at me as a person? What I see in my eyes is just my son's noble status. ”

Although these words sound rough, they can be tasted deeply, how could it be that the Empress Dowager is reprimanding those people, even Empress Jiang and others in front.

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother still likes Jiang Xuan.

Beautiful, intelligent, bold, and rarely, there is also a quite admirable wrist, the Empress Dowager looked at these talents coldly, and she liked Jiang Xuan more and more.

When Jiang Xuan came to Yongfu Palace for the first time, he didn't misunderstand her, and even underestimated her, thinking about telling her to King Huai'an as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was taken away by his own son.

She took Jiang Xuan's hand and said, "I know you're good, I didn't say you just now, it's just that someone has that kind of heart." ”

"Since ancient times, there have been all kinds of things, that is, the queen mother at the beginning, life was not much better than yours, but now it is not Jitai here."

"I heard that you don't want Changsheng to arrange guards for you, as long as you have two female guards as maids, it is naturally based on your wishes, but in the future, you have to be extra careful."

Jiang Xuan stood up, "Thank you Niangniang for thinking, it's just that in all dynasties, how many people have married, you can't let people marry because you are afraid." ”

"Anyway, I'm not afraid."

This can be regarded as an alternative show of loyalty, knowing that there are many crises around the emperor, and the queen mother will not be easy to be in the future, but she is still indomitable.

The Empress Dowager smiled, "I heard that he used to tell you that his name was Changsheng, this is indeed his name, but it is the life I gave to marry." ”

She paused, "Speaking of this nickname, there was a joke at the time, he has an elder, and the big name is called Changsheng." ”

"One big and one young, two immortals, hey, now his uncle ......," the Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Don't talk about this, in short, if there is anything wrong with Changsheng, you can tell me." ”

"In the past, he did something wrong and hid it from you, and the old woman apologized to you on his behalf."

Jiang Xuan was flattered, she was already relieved of Lin Yi's concealment, and she also took a small 'revenge'.

Originally, the old lady could live for a while, but she just let her die, not only to solve the hidden dangers of the Jiang family, but also to prevent the old uncle Xu from catching this tail.

At the same time, there is also a little, a little bit of wanting to say goodbye to Lin Yi, the old lady is dead, the Jiang family has to keep filial piety, and in a short time, they will not be able to get married.

She's a grumpy girl!

She bent her knees to the Empress Dowager, "Niangniang, you are too serious, and the Empress Taishang is also helpless, and the little girl does not dare to complain." ”

She lowered her eyes to the pearls that appeared on the toe of her shoes.

The Empress Dowager patted her and asked her to sit beside her, "My son, although you are young and transparent, I will tell you the truth, although you are not married yet, but Changsheng has already recognized you, he has identified, no one will touch his mind, only his hands are in favor." ”

"In my heart, I already see you as a daughter-in-law."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he quickly stood up again, bowing his head and looking shy.

The Empress Dowager smiled and pressed her hand, "You sit down, there are no outsiders here, except that I am your second aunt, just loosen up, as time goes by, you will know that I am not a daughter-in-law who will serve, but a person who will only set rules." ”

"Now, I just want to have a caring person by Changsheng's side."

"Yes." Jiang Xuan replied, and then sat down.

The second wife on the side spoke at the right time, "Although my sister-in-law passed away early, Ah Xuan is a good one, she can do everything, not to mention the housekeeper director, the others are much better than me and her third aunt." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded, "It's okay for me to look at it too." ”

A soft voice came from outside, "Grandmother, is there anyone better than me?" Then a curling figure came in from outside.

Jiang Xuan immediately stood up and walked to the side.

When a guest came in, where did she dare to sit next to the Queen Mother.

It seems that this is the girl from the Cheng'en Mansion that the Empress Dowager just said.

The Empress Dowager will summon the girls from the Cheng'en Mansion into the palace, which is also requested by the Duchess of Cheng'en.

Of course, the Empress Dowager also has selfish intentions, her age is here, because of Yun'er's matter, Lin Yi was not salty and indifferent to the Chengen Mansion, and later the Duchess Chengen even wanted to stuff the girls in the mansion into the emperor's harem.

Lin Yi didn't want to see the Cheng'en Mansion, but she couldn't care about her mother's affairs, so she thought that the grandchildren were about the same age as Jiang Xuan, if she could say it, with Jiang Xuan at that time, Lin Yi should not be too cold to the Cheng'en Mansion.

As long as she can keep the glory of one or two generations, what happens in the future is not something she can manage.

Therefore, today, she also summoned the girl from the Chengen Mansion into the palace and introduced her to Jiang Xuan to get to know her.

Today, the girl from the Chengen Mansion is called Lan Ying, she has a very gentle temperament, she speaks softly, and her etiquette is not bad.

and Jiang Xuan can also talk, I heard that she has a good relationship with Chen Jiao, and her eyes lit up, saying that she and Chen Jiao are very good.

Jiang Xuan nodded with a smile and said that we would play together in the future.

Although she has not really married Lin Yi yet, it is basically a certainty, just like Lin Yi, she can't escape if she wants to.

The Empress Dowager's thoughts, she can understand some of them, as long as the girls in the Chengen Mansion are not too bad, she will speak well.

Fortunately, Lan Ying has a good temperament.

In the evening, when she left after dinner in the Empress Dowager's palace, Lan Ying had already taken her hand and said softly,

"Sister Ah Xuan, in a few days, there will be a jockey club in the Xu family, do you want to go? Jiaojiao will also go.

I heard that you grew up at the border gate, so you must be able to ride a horse, right? I don't know how to, can you teach me then? ”

Jiang Xuan looked embarrassed and pointed to the clothes on his body, "Lan Ying, I'm keeping filial piety to my grandmother now, it's not good to be a guest everywhere, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you." ”

Lan Ying was very disappointed, and she also knew that keeping filial piety was a big thing and couldn't be forced, so she looked at her pitifully, "It's a pity, then let's play together in the future." ”

Her little eyes were as pitiful as she wanted, so Jiang Xuan couldn't bear to look at them directly.

The Empress Dowager said on the side, "What is this, you can accompany Lan Ying, see more people, and when the time comes, I will let Changsheng match you with a few guards."

What does the little girl's family do at home all day long? The rest of your family will also be taken out. ”

"Just say what I said."

When Lan Ying heard this, she immediately bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager, "Thank you, Grandmother, you are really good." ”

After speaking, he straightened up and looked at Jiang Xuan excitedly, "My aunt and grandmother have spoken, see who dares to say you, let me tell you, I have a little mare, and I have been practicing for many days for this horse race." ”

"I heard that this time, the Xu family invited a lot of people, but they are all from the girl's family, and everyone gathers to have fun."

Actually, Jiang Xuan had heard Chen Jiao's letter about this meeting, and it was made by Zhongyi's uncle, and when their family was in spring and summer every year, the girls of the Xu family would take the lead in organizing this horse race.

I heard that there will be competitions.

Because she knew, she was not surprised at all, and she didn't ask which Xu family.

It's the Empress Dowager, she should know that there is enmity between the Xu family and the Jiang family, why would she let her go?

After leaving the palace, Jiang Xuan asked Bizhi to send a letter to Lin Yi and asked her if she could go to this horse club.

After all, the Xu family is the organizer, and if you really want to stumble on her, it's still okay.

Lin Yi's reply letter was very simple, and I don't know if it was too busy or what, there was only one word 'can' for dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

Since the two giants said that the Jockey Club could go, then she was relieved to go boldly.

Can't wear a gorgeous service, if it's too plain, it won't be very comfortable for people to look at, so she compromised and prepared a moon-white riding suit.

On the day of the banquet, Jiang Xuan went in a carriage with Chen Jiao and Lan Ying.

It was Xu Yunke who greeted the guests, and when he saw Jiang Xuan, he didn't say anything but gave him a smile.

Lan Ying looked more familiar with Xu Yunke, and after seeing each other, she covered her lips and chuckled,

"You look so beautiful today, who is this for?"

Xu Yunke's face turned red, and he pounced on Lan Ying's mouth, annoyed, "Don't talk nonsense, and then I'm not going to be with you." ”

Lan Ying pushed her hand away and said, "If you have something that you need our help with, you must tell us, and we will definitely help you." ”

Xu Yunke stomped his feet angrily, his face was flushed, he looked shy, and warned with a fierce look, "Lan Ying, if you talk nonsense again, I will turn my face." ”

Lan Ying smiled and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, let's go and welcome the guests......" After speaking, she pointed outside.

After Xu Yunke left, Chen Jiao pulled Lan Ying and Jiang Xuan to bite their ears, "Sister Xuan, do you remember the last time you saw it at Cui's house?" This Xu Yunke is for the sake of King Huai'an, so he will strive to be today's master. ”

"Otherwise, the Xu family, it won't be her turn to come out to entertain guests."

Jiang Xuan was not very interested in the affairs of the Xu family, not to mention that it also involved the king of Huai'an.

When she thought that she would marry Lin Yi in the future, King Huai'an would call her mother or something like other families, she was a little uncomfortable, she was obviously about the same age as him.

However, since you are ready to get married, you have to accept this.

"Didn't you say they were all girls? How come there are some young men too? Jiang Xuan looked around and asked in surprise.

Lan Ying said ambiguously, "Because this horse race is similar to the flower club set up by those ladies, it is all in disguise." ”

No wonder, Jiang Xuan's face suddenly realized.

"Look, over there." Chen Jiao pushed Jiang Xuan and said in a low voice, "Xu Yunke really let go and went to the front of King Huai'an again." ”
