Chapter 5: The Slap

Xia He and Qiu Feng had been chatting outside for a while, and finally heard Xu Nankui's summons inside.

The two hurriedly went in to serve Xu Nankui to wash and dress.

A quarter of an hour later, Nankui was already seated at the table, and today's meal was already placed in front of her.

Nan Kui glanced at the dishes on the table, sighed and said, "Xia He, today's cuisine is a little too rich, right?" Do you think that this palace is not worthy of being as light as a swallow? ”

Although he said so, Nankui's body was already very honestly ready, and he picked up a piece of pastry casually.

For example, at the end, the aroma of tea is everywhere, and the whole mouth is surrounded by a faint aroma of green tea, and the entrance is neither dry nor wet, and there is no thick feeling of ordinary pastries.

Xia He lowered his head and smiled secretly, and after being pulled off his sleeve by Qiu Feng, he hurriedly raised his head, pulled away the smile on his face and said, "Mrs. Hui, isn't this going to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong today?" Now that the three-year filial piety period has passed, I am afraid that there is a tough battle to be fought. ”

Xu Nankui casually tasted another bite of anchovy shark fin, the entrance was fresh and salty, but the two were very compatible, without any conflict, just right.

Nankui finally put down the chopsticks, Xia He intimately sent a handkerchief, Xu Nankui gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to Xia He: "It's a pity that you are following me with me, just with your skills, even the golden spoon in the imperial dining room should be touched by you." ”

Xia He watched Xu Nankui eat ordinary dishes, smiled and took a cup of white jade milk tea and said: "Madame, where are you talking about, the slave maid is better than anywhere else in you, often this white jade milk tea has been boiled for a night." ”

The white jade milk tea in the jade glass cup is set off extraordinarily transparent, it is really like mutton fat jade, and the milk fragrance keeps surging from the small tea cup to Nankui's nose.

Although she was already a little full, Nankui still drank it, after all, what girl could escape the law of the true fragrance of milk tea?

After Nankui was full of wine and food, she touched her bulging little belly and exhaled in satisfaction.

Turning his head to Qiu Feng, he asked: "Qiu Feng, after entering the palace yesterday, I went back to the princess's mansion, and the people of the loyal and brave marquis couldn't find me. ”

Qiu Feng poured a glass of rinsed water for Nan Kui and replied: "The two masters didn't move, but the eldest lady and the second lady invited the old lady over, and they were already waiting in the mansion." ”

Nankui dragged his cheeks with one hand, and gently tapped the rim of the cup with the other, mocking: "I thought they didn't want this title?" It turned out that the old lady was invited out of the mountain, but you said that the old lady is old, if he is angry with the palace, will those officials of the imperial history platform join the palace again? ”

After speaking, Nankui picked up the mouthwash and cleaned it up.

Qiu Feng handed the mouthwash to Xia He next to him and replied: "Madame is too worried, the old lady is old, the eldest lady and the second lady are inconsiderate of the old man, and they disturb the old lady's concentration on cultivating Buddhism, how can they blame the lady?" ”

Nankui raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Feng, secretly speechless.

In the end, he is the person who has followed him the longest, this role changes so quickly, and his heart adjusts so quickly, you see, now making up nonsense is smooth.

Here Xia He has already beckoned the maid to remove all the dishes on the table, Nan Kui also got up and said: "In this case, the palace will go to meet them for a while, Xia He took the palace to change clothes, I haven't worn red for a long time, today is more festive!" ”

The old lady is old-fashioned, if she sees Nan Kui filial piety yesterday and wears bright red clothes today, I am afraid that she will be angry and go west on the spot.

But Nankui can't control the old lady, she wants to die herself, but she doesn't mind giving her a ride.

When Nankui changed her clothes again and came out, the carriage was already prepared outside the princess's mansion.

Nankui took Xia He into the carriage and said to Qiu Feng: "Today is the matter of the inner house, taking you to the back is in the way, you go to find the spring equinox, tell her that the palace wants money, and go to sort out the accounts for this year to the palace." ”

After the order, Nankui took Xia He straight to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.

The Princess's Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion are not far away, and there are two streets in between, but one is the main road.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xia He went out to inquire about the situation, and after a while, Xia He lifted the corner of the curtain and said with a forced smile: "Madam, in front is King Xu Huai, who drank flower wine today, and fell in love with the boss on the first floor to ask someone to accompany him, and was beaten out." ”

Nankui only felt that today was really unfavorable for the passing year, and he met such a bully.

King Xu Huai and Prince Xu are both brothers, one is the son of Concubine Xu, and the other is the son of Concubine Zhu.

It's just that King Xu Huai is the most difficult to deal with, although his mother is just a concubine, but he is the old son of the first emperor, although he is not crowned as the crown prince, he is also an idle prince, but he is deeply favored by the first emperor, not a lord of peace, and it is also the most uncertain factor.

And King Xu Huai, he is very poor, so he loves to fight the autumn wind very much, and even the juniors' money is said to be wanted, and you have no choice.

As for where the money is spent, isn't this huge first floor a gold cave?

As for the boss on the first floor, he also has some friendship with Nan Kui, and she is also a strange woman, who is the same age as Nan Kui, but now she has opened the largest green building in the entire imperial city.

If it was another time, Xu Nankui would naturally stop and take a good look at the excitement of this imperial uncle, but today is not the time, so he ordered: "Don't worry about the affairs of the imperial uncle, Li Sanniang's name is not for nothing, let's leave quickly, if we are entangled by the imperial uncle, I am afraid that we will be stripped of a layer of skin." ”

After Xu Nankui finished giving the order, the carriage moved, opened the curtains slightly, and saw King Xu Huai who had just gotten up from the ground.

Speaking of which, this King Xu Huai is not much older than Nan Kui, but he is only three years older.

Besides, this imperial uncle is also a peach blossom flood, it is really his appearance that inherits all the advantages of his mother, even if he is crushed and dirty, he can't hide his outstanding demeanor, especially a pair of blue eyes, which is even more fascinating, and has won the true inheritance of Concubine Xu.

At this time, King Xu Huai seemed to have known that Xu Nankui had arrived, and looked at Xu Nankui who opened the curtains with a smile.

Nan Kui scolded secretly, she deserves it, she looks like this, and she is romantic, I am afraid that I don't know how many young women's hearts have been stolen.

Xu Nankui has always read countless men, and he must also meditate on German orthopedics in his heart to calm his mind.

Fortunately, the carriage is getting farther and farther away, and at most this imperial uncle will come back in the future, anyway, he will have to wait for the prince to deal with the tax within a month, and there will be time to slowly mess with him.

Finally, the carriage arrived at the door of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion, and the guards guarding the door recognized Xu Nankui's carriage, and just as he was about to go in to report, he was grabbed by Xia He, and reprimanded: "Where are you a bastard!" Mrs. will report when she returns home? I'm afraid I'm going to die. ”

Guarding an eight-foot-tall man, he was picked up by Xia He, and the scene was as funny as it could be.

The guards are actually acting on orders, and they can't afford to offend either end, so now they can only keep begging for mercy.

"Xia He, in this way, I am afraid that your fierce reputation has spread throughout the entire imperial city, and it will be difficult for this palace to find a husband for you in the future." Xu Nankui in the carriage got out of the carriage and quipped.

When Xu Nankui said this, Xia He loosened the guard's clothes, and the guard directly fell on a big horse, got up in a gray manner, confessed, and led the carriage for Nankui.

Xia He clapped his hands, turned into a dignified and virtuous little woman again, and returned to Nankui and said doggedly: "Madame, please enter the house." ”

Nankui smiled and shook her head, sure enough, the things between this mansion are the places where Xia He really has space.

With foresight, coupled with Xia He's three-year deterrence in this Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, everyone cowered and greeted Nan Kui into the mansion, and no one who reported the news dared to move.

In the greenhouse, the eldest lady and the second lady were serving tea and pouring water for the old woman, and there was a woman about thirty years old next to her, who leaned a little behind and didn't dare to step forward.

The old woman sitting in the main seat is the mother of the three old men, the old lady's face is full of wrinkles, but her spirit is good, although she entered the temple three years ago, but in this mansion, there is still prestige.

Now the two ladies have asked the old lady for the sake of inheriting the matter, and they are serving them well.

The second lady couldn't hide things, so she held a plate of snacks and sent it to the old lady and said, "Old lady, our two daughters-in-law really have no choice, so we have to help you invite them." ”

After speaking, she gave the eldest lady a look, and the eldest lady also knew that the two of them were on the same boat today, so naturally she would not dismantle the second lady's platform, and also sat down next to the old lady and said: "Also, the third brother sacrificed his life for the country three years ago and guarded the border pass, and now the lord has been full of worries for three years, and there is no place to go." ”

As he spoke, he symbolically shed two tears.

The old lady sitting on the seat took a bite of snacks, took another sip of tea and said, "This kind of thing is naturally decided by the Son of Heaven, even if you look for me, what can you do?" ”

Knowing that the old lady didn't want to open this mouth first, the second lady hurriedly knelt down for the old lady and said: "Old lady, the third brother was inherited from his father's title, and now he has no son and half daughter under his knees. ”

The old lady put down the teacup and said, "I remember that Aunt Lin didn't give birth to a concubine in Huainan?" ”

Hearing this, the woman standing behind gently clenched her fist, and after a while, she was sent down again.

yes, from what point of view did she say?

She is just a maidservant, a roommate, her child, but she can't even enter the family tree, three years ago I thought it was my own day, but now three years have passed, and she is just a joke.

The eldest lady saw Aunt Lin's embarrassment and said, "Not really, old lady, although Aunt Lin has a son, she has not entered the family tree, and she is afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess does not want to be fostered under her name." ”

The second lady looked down on the twists and turns of the eldest lady, and seeing that the old lady was also shaken, besides, Xu Nankui had not yet arrived, and the next person had not reported it, so she became bolder.

"Sister-in-law, why hide it, it's just that she Xu Nankui thinks of herself as high, and she looks down on the child born in Tongfang, besides, they all say that Xu Nankui's life is not good, and she killed the third brother, I am afraid that the child's life is hard, and she will leave a trace of incense for the third brother."

The eldest lady pretended to stop and said: "Second sister, why do you say this, this is a woman's big thing, it's just that Nan Kui married in at an inappropriate time, no matter how you say it, we can't bear the emperor's grace." ”

The old lady seemed to be reminded of a trace of memory, sighed and said, "The two of you took the trouble to invite me back, compared to the plan to get along, right?" ”

The eldest lady didn't let the second lady speak again, and replied respectfully: "Back to the old lady, the two of us have also discussed with the master, and we can inherit a child from the name of the two of us, but the child is small, and I ask the old lady to take care of one or two." ”

The second lady had to admire this sister-in-law, and she didn't mention Xu Nankui Kefu at all, but she said that Xu Nankui's life was not good.

Of course, the effect is also very good, the old lady glanced at the two and said: "That's it, let's invite the elders of the clan to come over to discuss the matter of inheritance, the children are still young, and my wife can't take care of them." ”

The eldest lady and the second lady were overjoyed, and the eldest lady knelt down and said, "Thank you, old lady, no matter what, we will take care of the third brother's bloodline." ”

The second lady also knelt down and said, "Thank you for your understanding, I'll go and invite the elders of the clan." ”

Aunt Lin also knelt down and said, "In the future, please take more care of the old lady and the two ladies." ”

The second lady got up happily, ready to invite someone, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Xu Nankui appearing outside the door dressed in red, and asked with a smile: "Where are you going to go, second sister-in-law?" But until my brother-in-law arrived? ”

The second lady was startled at first, thinking that there were old ladies and sisters-in-law behind her, even if Xu Nankui heard it, she became angry: "It turned out that my brother-in-law was here, nothing happened, but the old lady came back and invited the elders of the clan to come and gather." ”

The second lady thought in her heart, now let you be proud for a while, and wait for the big thing to be decided, and then deal with Xu Nankui.

It's a pity that as soon as the words fell, he was slapped to the ground by Xu Nankui, and five finger prints appeared on his fair face, which immediately swollen.

Xu Nankui looked down at the second lady who was knocked to the ground, covered her cheeks and looked shocked, and asked with a smile, "Is it?" ”
