Chapter 208: Wang Qingyun
Jingping Marquis Mansion.
Wang Qingyun commanded his subordinates to put the cages brought back from the northwest into the warehouse one by one, except for the eldest son Xie Yu, the second son Xie Ran, and the youngest daughter Shu Yu all surrounded her.
Xie Yu is already an eleven-year-old boy, if he is placed in a rich and noble family in the capital, he may still be coquettish in the arms of his grandmother and mother at this age, and he must be served by others in his food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But in the northwest, there will be a border where war breaks out at any time, and such a half-grown teenager can already take charge on his own. At this moment, Xie Yu was sent to the outer courtyard by his mother to be responsible for the placement of his subordinates.
On the bluestone slab in the courtyard, Mama Gong and Mama Wang have been kneeling for some time. Although there was shade in the place where the two of them knelt, the two of them were old after all, and they had only been kneeling for more than an hour, and their bodies were a little unbearable.
Wang Qingyun looked at the soaked clothes on the two of them, with a look of patience, but a beautiful face was unmoved.
Xie Shuyao was brought up by the two grandmothers since she was a child, because she was the only girl in the first generation of the house, and she was deeply favored by the two grandmothers.
Seeing that the two grandmothers couldn't hold it anymore, Xie Shuyao frowned, and pleaded for the two grandmothers under pressure: "Mother, Mother Gong and Mother Wang are old, mother, you can spare them this time." ”
Wang Qingyun lowered her eyes and straightened her sleeves, and said lightly: "The two of them make their own opinions, which is no different from betraying the master. You intercede for them, where is this putting your aunt?! ”
Xie Shuyao grew up in the northwest since childhood.
The daughter of the Northland, like the man, eats meat and drinks a lot, and has a dashing and wanton spirit in her bones. is also favored by Xie Han's father, so that Xie Shuyao was turned into a lawless demon king.
But in front of his mother, Xie Shuyao was like seeing a natural enemy, and he was well-behaved.
Facing his mother's questioning, Xie Shuyao moved his mouth, but he couldn't think of a word of pleading. She couldn't bear to glance at the two grandmothers, and finally, she hung her head silently.
Wang Qingyun's Ruifeng eyes flashed with a little satisfaction.
The daughter is kind, which is a good thing. But as a superior person, you must not be swayed by your own selfish feelings. It is also necessary to understand that relatives are distant and close, so that rewards and punishments are clear. In this way, Fang is the foundation of life.
"Mama Gong, Mama Wang, do you two know what is wrong?"
Wang Qingyun glanced at the incense sticks that were about to burn out in the blue-and-white glazed double-eared three-legged incense burner, and said casually.
"Madam, the old slave knows his mistake." The two grandmothers said in unison.
Wang Qingyun snorted lightly, and said with a smile: "I can probably guess a few points of your thoughts." It's nothing more than because the Wang family is my maiden family. But in the northwest, what is my attitude towards the Wang family, you have eyes, you should be able to see it. That's it, you still dare to let the Wang family come to the door, are you living in vain! ”
Wang Qingyun's tone was understated, but Mama Gong and Mama Wang were "groaning" in their hearts. The sweat on their foreheads kept rolling down, and the two pleaded guilty one after another: "The old slave deserves to die!" ”
Wang Qingyun snorted and laughed, and said in a manly voice: "Get up." If you dare to hide it from me again, you two will go to Zhuangzi to retire, we can't afford such a subordinate in the Hou Mansion. ”
Mama Gong and Mama Wang immediately realized that Mrs. Hou was really angry, and the two of them didn't dare to say a word, and supported each other to retreat.
Wang Qingyun retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at a pair of children under her knees, and her expression was much gentler: "The boat is tired, you two little people can't bear it, and you don't follow Mama Zhou down to rest." ”
An elderly grandmother walked out from behind Wang Qingyun, not like Grandma Gong and Grandma Wang, who always had a kind smile on her face at any time.
This grandmother surnamed Zhou is not smiling, the corners of her mouth are tightly pursed at every moment, and there are two deep nasolabial folds on her face, which looks serious and rigid.
Wang Qingyun valued her very much.
Xie Shuyao dared to be coquettish in front of Mama Gong and Mama Wang, but she didn't dare to be naughty in front of this Mama Zhou, so she could only make a well-behaved appearance, and together with her brother, she bowed to her mother and said goodbye.
After the child left, Wang Qingyun's face instantly became gloomy, and she ordered the housekeeper Xie Rong in a cold voice: "If anyone from the Wang family comes to the door in the future, no matter who it is, they will all beat me out." ”
Xie Rong's expression froze, and he hurriedly responded "yes".
Wang Qingyun's fierce gaze swept over the housekeepers and ladies standing in the courtyard one by one: "You all heard clearly?" ”
I only heard the subordinates in the courtyard respond in unison: "Obey Mrs. Hou's orders." ”
Wang Qingyun bowed her head with satisfaction.
Since her mother's family didn't care about her as a married girl, and looked at her coldly as a widow, she didn't burn down the ancestral house of the Wang family, it was all the result of her abiding by filial piety.
Madame, is this planning to completely stand on the opposite side of her mother's family? Peony couldn't help but gasp, and persuaded beside her: "Madam, maybe the assassination of the Hou Ye is just the eldest lady's own opinion. The old lady still misses you in her heart. ”
"Even if you don't know beforehand, don't you know afterwards?"
Wang Qingyun snorted lightly and sneered: "Let's not mention Yu Xiu's marriage. Ruofu has no ability and can't enter the eyes of His Majesty, but relying on my aunt's identity as Mianmian's sister-in-law, he forced Mianmian to give her a concubine, which is one of them; If he committed suicide, the sister-in-law became angry with her husband and wanted to kill her husband, which is the second; In the Huguo Temple, the sister-in-law wants to use the technique of disgust to kill Mianmian, which is the third. However, in the letter to me from the Wang family, there was no mention of the major events that had happened. Isn't it just relying on this ridiculous bloodline? ”
"Madam, all this is the eldest lady's own decision. If the lord and the old lady knew, they would definitely not approve of the eldest lady doing this. ”
Peony knows her master, she looks gentle and graceful, but her temperament is strong and resolute, otherwise she would not have broken with her mother's family because of the Wang family's tendency to become inflammatory!
But as subordinates, they can't continue to arch the fire when the master's temper comes up, but think about how to persuade them.
Wang Qingyun's willow eyebrows were tightly twisted, as if she was enduring her temper. She interrupted Peony's words irritably.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore, I know better than you who the Wang family is! If it weren't for my sister-in-law's good looks, do you think she would accept the Wang family's post?! ”
If it weren't for her cultivation, Wang Qingyun really wanted to learn from the woman in the north, and spat at the Wang family.
"That's it." Her fingers painted with bright red kodan gently rubbed the center of her eyebrows, narrowed a pair of delicate Ruifeng eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "The dead are the greatest." For the sake of my eldest brother and my innocent nephews, I will not bother with the poisonous woman. ”
What Wang Qingyun didn't say was that if it weren't for her husband's preparations, she would only have suffered a slight injury, but if there was an emergency, she would have to dig up the poisonous woman of the Cui family and whip the corpse!
Xie Han returned to the Hou Mansion in the dust.
As soon as he entered the Pillow Courtyard, Wang Qingyun, who had already changed into homely clothes, greeted him with a look of surprise: "Husband, are you coming back from the palace?" ”
"It's a long story." Xie Han was still wearing the armor he had when he entered the palace, and he strode into the main house.
Wang Qingyun hurriedly followed.
Although the armor on Xie Han's body weighs dozens of pounds, Wang Qingyun has taken care of Xie Han's daily life for so many years, and she is no longer the powerless deep girl.
She didn't take off Xie Han's armor with much effort, put it on the long case on the side, and personally wrung the wet handkerchief, helped Xie Han clean his face, and handed over a cup of warm tea, then asked softly: "Husband, can you see your sister?" ”
Xie Han ran all the way, he was already thirsty, he didn't care about the demeanor and demeanor of the noble son at the moment, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, lifted the teapot on the table, poured most of the tea, and then slowly wiped the water stains on his lips with a handkerchief, and sat on the couch with Wang Qingyun's arm.
"Fortunately, I was assassinated and wounded on the road, and His Majesty allowed me to keep my whereabouts secret; Fortunately, after I entered the city, I went directly to the palace to face the saint. Qingqing, you don't know how scared I am. ”
In front of his dear and beloved wife, Xie Han dared to show his vulnerability.
Only then did Wang Qingyun realize that her husband's arms were trembling slightly, as if she had encountered something extremely terrible to be able to scare him like this.
You must know that his husband has been with great strength since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he was able to pull out an iron tire bow of ten stones, which is not much better than the legendary Yang Kan with amazing arm strength. Husband, he ...... What did you encounter in the palace?
Xie Han didn't let Wang Qingyun guess for too long, he stretched out his long arm, hugged Wang Qingyun tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a dumb voice: "As soon as I walked to the pontoon bridge of the palace, I saw a cold arrow shooting towards Mianmian's heart. At that time, I was so scared that my heart stopped. Fortunately, I carried the dragon tongue bow that I was going to offer to His Majesty, and shot down that cold arrow. ”
Although her husband was concise and to the point, Wang Qingyun was frightened by the hidden thrills!
It's no wonder that the husband is afraid, but when she listens to it afterwards, her heart is about to jump out of her throat. Wang Qingyun held her husband's arm tightly, and asked in shock and anger, "Is my sister okay?" Did you catch an assassin? ”
Xie Han shook his head solemnly.
Wang Qingyun slapped her palm on the table, and she scolded bitterly: "The palace is heavily guarded, and the assassin dares to choose to attack in the palace, presumably it must be inseparable from that slut in the East Palace!" ”
Although Xie Han also had such suspicions, he listened to his wife's unshy words, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Shhh The partition wall has ears, this is not the northwest, it is the capital! ”
Since arriving in the north, his wife has changed the style of a lady in Beijing, and her temperament has become more and more spicy, and Xie Han is often painful and happy.
"It's me who lost my word." Wang Qingyun frowned a pair of delicately shaped willow eyebrows, forcibly held back the resentment in her heart, and asked her husband: "My sister was assassinated, what is your majesty's attitude?" ”
Xie Han's face became strange for a moment.
Wang Qingyun's heart tightened, his fingers subconsciously pressed on his chest, and he said angrily: "Doesn't Your Majesty plan to pursue it?" ”
Seeing that his wife wanted to be crooked, Xie Han gathered the complicated color in his eyes and explained: "Don't worry, madam, it's not what you think. When the cold arrow came over, His Majesty hid his sister directly in his arms and blocked the arrow with his body. His Majesty's reaction was completely knee-jerk. ”
Wang Qingyun's pair of Ruifeng eyes blinked quickly. Why did she know every word her husband said, but she couldn't understand it.
Seeing this, Xie Han smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't say it's you, I was there at the time, and the whole person was stunned." The arrow was shot out of instinct. Otherwise, it would be time to receive news of His Majesty's serious injury. ”
After a period of buffering, Wang Qingyun finally digested the amazing news.
All the shock was transformed into great joy, Wang Qingyun hugged yin and yang in his hands, and said in his mouth: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." My sister is finally bitter! ”
After saying this, Wang Qingyun had completely calmed down, a hint of triumph appeared on her face, and she said to her husband: "Husband, do you want to admire my wisdom like a torch." ”
Xie Han was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but he was suddenly named by Wang Qingyun, and he praised with a great desire to survive: "Madame is far-sighted, and she is really a woman among women." ”
