The Jiang family now has two marquis, one is Jiang Zan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who inherited the Hou throne a few years ago, and the other is Jiang Yang, who is known as the youngest marquis of the Great Sage because of his outstanding military achievements. The two are a pair of brothers.

When the first emperor sealed the Hou Jiang Yang, he gave Jiang Yang a magnificent Hou Mansion, and at that time, the old Marquis Jiang was still there, Jiang Yang naturally did not rush to repair the Hou Mansion, but still lived in the Hou Mansion in the north of the town.

Now that the old marquis of Jiang has died in battle, his brother has become the new marquis of Zhenbei, and in a mansion, naturally there can't be two marquis of the same generation, so it has been shelved, and the arrangement of the new marquis mansion has been put on the agenda.

Jiang Yang Ding is worried at home, so he naturally has enough time to repair this well, and the first emperor rewarded him to make a new house. Looking at this huge Hou Mansion, Jiang Yang only felt sad in his heart, and immediately remembered the matter of the new moon, as if a hostess had really been taken away from him at first glance in this Hou Mansion.

It's endless, and if you fall into it, then you can only walk into the horns and kill yourself.

And Xinyue was afraid that Jiang Yang would be like this, so she appeared at the main gate of this Hou Mansion.

The subordinates came in and reported, "Master Hou, the queen mother is here." ”

"The queen is here? How can she live..."Jiang Yang paused, he was too engrossed in thinking about things just now, and for a while he thought that it was still the time when the first emperor was there, and the queen mother standing at the door was the queen Chai who had always looked down on their Jiang family.

Jiang Yang couldn't help laughing at himself, he would rather be the queen Chai who always said that their Jiang family was born as the owner of the dance shop, rather than the "queen" who went to see the door.

And when Jiang Yang saw the new moon, he couldn't help but say, "You have lost a lot of weight." ”

Xinyue lowered her head and smiled, and then said to Jiang Yang, "Won't Master Hou invite me in to sit down?" ”

"It's messy in the house, but there's still a place to sit, let's go." With that, Jiang Yang turned around and walked into the door.

Xinyue followed behind him, but how could he keep up, this was a great general who was made a marquis before he reached forty because of his outstanding military achievements, but Xinyue was still unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth and following him.

This Hou Mansion is really very big, the new moon followed behind, the two walked for a long time, and still only walked from the main house to the courtyard behind, and there are rockeries and lakes in the yard.

Jiang Yang seemed to realize this, so he stopped suddenly, and behind him, a trotting crescent moon hit his head on the back, only to hear the muffled snort of the new moon being hit, and then fell to the ground.

Jiang Yang wanted to reach out to pull, but it was too late, she sat on the ground with her buttocks, fortunately it was sandy land here, if it was a bluestone slab, she would have to break her bones.

Xinyue, who fell to the ground, didn't care about the pain on her body, but subconsciously looked at Jiang Yang and didn't continue to walk forward, and when she saw that he was indeed looking at herself condescendingly, she half-truthfully covered her waist and shouted, "It hurts, my lord, Marquis Jiang has beaten someone." ”

Jiang Yang looked down at Xinyue, who suddenly started to play tricks, and said angrily, "You hit me, you can't cheat." ”

"What's wrong with me? Hou Ye is a man, a general and a hero, I am just a little woman, I can't compare to Hou Ye with strength, and now I have fallen to the ground, so I naturally want Hou Ye to give an explanation. ”

"What shall I give you? Now that you are Your Majesty's queen, you directly pulled out and killed me on the grounds of assassinating the queen. Jiang Yang's anger came for no reason, this was just a few words, and he felt that it was the new moon that coveted wealth and wealth and married into the royal family.

Xinyue sighed, feeling that she was fortunate to come, the Jiang family is the mother of the Queen Mother, and it is also one of the things that the Queen Mother cares about the most, as the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and Jiang Yang is kind to herself, so she swore in her heart that if she has her own day, she will also protect the Jiang family and Jiang Yang.

She said with a crying voice, "Master Hou, do you think I have the right to say no?" ”

"You can't say no, but you can, choose not to come to see our Jiang family's jokes. Although my aunt and father are gone, the Jiang family still has me, my eldest brother. I am still the general of Zhennan, and no one can read the jokes of our Jiang family. Jiang Yang's voice became higher and higher, venting the dissatisfaction in his chest.

"Who, who can underestimate your Jiang family. Go to the royal tomb of Liang to take a look, the emperor of Liang made a fake head with gold, so that the whole body was buried. Although Xinyue said words of encouragement to Jiang Yang, tears flowed out.

Jiang Yang also heard the sadness in Xinyue's words, and then looked down deeply at Xinyue, who was still sitting on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your father, this is how he can be buried." ”

"It turned out that Master Hou still remembered. Not to mention that the Jiang family is still strong, even if the Jiang family is downcast one day, I, Xu Xinyue, will not be the one who spits. Master Hou, do you really think that I am for glory and wealth? Why do we get married? It's just that I've been dodging since the beginning, and now I can't dodge, so I have to jump into the fire pit. Who wants to sit on the queen's throne, who will sit on it, I don't want to. Xinyue suddenly became excited, and she couldn't wait to dig out her heart and show it to everyone to see if she really didn't want to be a queen.

"It's me, it's me who is incompetent. The choice that you have not been able to take away from what you have always regarded as a nightmare is my incompetence. I not only lost Yanzhou, but also hurt you. Saying that, Jiang Yang also felt a burst of sadness, his thoughts drifted away, as if he had returned to the Battle of Yanzhou, he saw his old, white-haired father, surrounded by groups, and finally slashed to the horse, he was embraced by his subordinates, and he didn't even look at his father for the last time, only his father's sentence "go quickly" behind him.

Jiang Yang burst into tears, this man who had almost shed blood on the battlefield, as if he had shed tears for the first time since he became an adult, Xinyue reached out and wiped the tears off his face for him, "Master Hou, the old Lord Hou has a better continuation, that is you." ”

"I... I'm used to fighting. I'm not boasting, but for so many years, as long as there is my war, there is no reason to be defeated. But I was defeated once, and the prince died, and the second defeat, and my father died. I, I failed, but someone else died. Others will only think that I am a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, leaving behind more important people, and running away to throw away armor. But from the first time I went to war, my father told me that there were no fathers and sons on the battlefield, only to live, to kill the enemy alive, and to return home alive. I did exactly what my father said. I'm alive, too, but the moment I saw my father fall, I hated it, it was me who died, that feeling, I lost all my feelings, I hated, I wanted to slash me to death in the face. When I returned, I buried my father, and my wife was taken away. ”

"Master Hou, I'm afraid you forgot..."

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten that we said that we would be each other's targets, but the little emperor, how despised me, and to what extent did our Jiang family go, but when my father was newly mourned, his father's filial piety was announced. It was the Queen Mother who personally issued an edict to my wife. Jiang Yang grabbed Crescent Moon on the shoulder with one hand, and Crescent Moon felt his strength, he felt humiliation, and deep guilt.

Xinyue felt that the words of comfort were pale, and she had to say weakly, "Master Hou, the death of the old Lord Hou is not your fault." Yanzhou will be lost, you know what's going on. It was the collusion between King Yu and Liang Wei. The old marquis has fought all his life and died on the battlefield, maybe it is exactly what he wants and looks forward to? ”

"My father never wanted to fight, because he didn't want to, so he got the name of "prudent use of soldiers". I also don't like to fight, so I'm more cautious than him. Jiang Yang blocked the steps thrown by Xinyue and persuaded himself, and said coldly, "I want to lie on the bed, and the old ones can't get up and die." I think my father was the same. ”

"Then are you really going to feel sorry for yourself here for the rest of your life? And then because he couldn't be convinced, he was too angry in his heart and led his troops to rebel? You are a good soldier in battle, let me ask you, are you Rong Ying's opponent? Even if your southern battalion led troops into Jinling, is the garrison of Jiangning Mansion on the Jinling side vegetarian? Are the forbidden army all fools? Master Hou, don't you remember how the old Lord Hou went from a poor child who survived by selling himself into slavery by his sister to a hero who stood up to the sky? How did the Queen Mother go from a slave to the Queen Mother of a country? And Uncle Jiang Zan's family, as well as your uncle's family, the entire Jiang family, hundreds of people, can't make you sober up, can't you convince yourself? Do you know how many people the Nine Clans want to kill? I am the niece of the Queen Mother, and our Xu family will also be affected, and even my nephews and nieces will be exiled or not slaves. There are also 300,000 people in the entire Southern Army, these people have obviously done nothing, and they have to die because of the resentment in your heart. Crescent Moon finished speaking loudly, and finally shouted so that her voice was hoarse.

But Jiang Yang just looked at Xinyue lightly, "You are still, too small." You will only see what is about to happen, and use all your strength to stop it, but you will not think, just let the wheels press over like this, the road will be pressed out because the wheels are forward, and it is not broken, where can it stand, where does it come forward? ”

"You..." Xinyue was a little confused, because she felt that Jiang Yang would not rebel, but this sentence was full of disbelief and resentment, and she wanted to immediately raise a gun and kill Rong Ying.

"I said this to you. Now you feel that I am walking a dead end, and since you stop me, I will not go. The Jiang family, as you said, is something I can't afford to gamble on. And you, like me you think, are walking a dead end. Jiang Yang let go of the hand holding the new moon, and he felt that the new moon was still trembling, "Don't be afraid, the soldiers in my hands can't turn the sky." But if you add the northern army that originally belonged to your Xu family, the power of King Yu, you have enough confidence. ”

"What are you talking about?" Xinyue is getting more and more confused, Jiang Yang is...

"When you get to the day when you really need to break it, you'll understand. The time is gone, you go back. Saying that, Jiang Yang didn't send a crescent moon, turned around and left.

Xinyue looked at his back, confused in her heart, and left Jiang Yang's Hou Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage to King Yu's residence, Xinyue still didn't understand Jiang Yang's words, but after seeing the new King Yu, Rong Xu, Rong Xu also said something similar to Xinyue: "Xinyue, don't feel sad and dead for your current inability to choose. If you want to say no next time, you can say it. ”

Xinyue looked at Rong Xu, who was still dressed in plain clothes, he hadn't seen him for a few months, his eyes were filled with anger and suppression, and the catharsis of his emotions stood in front of him, that was Xinyue herself.

Confusion lingered in Xinyue's heart, and she asked Rong Xu, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Crescent, just keep me in focus, or I don't know what I'm going to do. Our Yuwang Mansion, my grandfather obviously didn't do anything wrong at the beginning, it was the first emperor who forced him, so he would have such a result, I was angry in my heart, and I could only..."As he spoke, Rong Xu cried.

Xinyue didn't say anything, looked up at the tablet in front of her, which said "The Throne of the Great Sage King Yu", she twisted up a stick of incense, lit it, worshiped King Yu, and then said goodbye to Rong Xu.

Rong Xu didn't send her either, he seemed to be very dangerous, just like Jiang Yang, but in Xinyue's heart, there was a voice telling her that they would never do stupid things, but chose to be patient, and while being patient, they were also looking for an opportunity, and that opportunity was all tied to themselves.

How can you be virtuous?

"Lady Crescent" just as Crescent was about to walk out of the backyard when a cheerful voice stopped her, and Crescent looked up at the young man who was trotting towards this side.

Ju'er is the son of Rong Xu and Xiao, when Xiao was originally a concubine, he was a concubine, and now Xiao has restored his original noble identity because of the Xiao family, and this smart and good-looking child naturally became the son of King Yu.

He ran to Crescent Moon and bowed to her.

"Xiao Shizi, it's you." Seeing that he was smiling at himself, the new moon smiled with him.

"Madame, is this leaving?" Now she is eight years old and a half-grown teenager.

"Yes, I have finished speaking to your father. Is Xiao Shizi still used to it in Jinling? Crescent Moon looked at his lips, and there was still the scar left by the bite after the fall that year, and it seemed that this wound, like the wound on his forehead, would fade with the passage of time, but it seemed that it would never go away.

Yu'er nodded, "It's okay, it's just that although Jinling is not cold in winter, it is very humid, and I have been sick several times before I can get used to it." Madam, I'm here to apologize to you. ”

"Apologize to me?" Crescent Moon asked, looking at the boy with long eyelashes, not remembering what he had done to be sorry for himself.

"That year in the palace of the Eastern Capital, it was my wife who was kind enough to take me to my grandfather to say goodbye, but because of my naughtiness, you were reprimanded by your father, and you also fell and injured your head..."
