"Miss Yue, this is my second sister-in-law, Princess Jinjun." Xiao Xuan turned around and briefly introduced the identity of the Hu family to Yue Ying.

"The people's daughter asks for peace to the princess of Jinjun." Yue Ying took a few steps forward and saluted the Hu family.

Yue Ying was beautiful and slender, Hu Shi didn't speak, just raised his eyes and looked her up and down a few times. The imperial capital is located in the north, whether it is a man or a woman, most of them will be born taller, she looks at Yue Ying coldly, more like a Jiangnan woman.

"What do you mean, princess?" Hu Shi simply spoke out the doubts in his heart. "Isn't Fang Cai still talking about the imperial concubine's acute illness? Why did the princess suddenly invite this young lady, I saw that this young lady should not be from the imperial capital, but like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"This Miss Yue is indeed from Jiangnan, and she turned out to be a young lady from an official eunuch family. It's just that her father fell in the previous Jiangnan official salt and died in prison soon after. Xiao Xuan raised his hand, Yue Ying got up and took two steps back and stood at Xiao Xuan's side. After her father's death, she took her mother's bequeath and took her younger brother, sister and the few remaining servants in the family to settle down in a county town. Until one day, several people rushed into her house, kidnapped her young brother and sister, and tried to coerce her to get close to my sixth brother. Although the captors of her brother and sister did not identify her, they made her inadvertently see the token with the pattern. Second sister-in-law, do you understand when I say this? ”

"Oh, I see." Xiao Xuan's words are so clear, Hu is not stupid, and he naturally understands it in his heart. "It seems that the county prince in my family has finally put it into action."

"The next thing is the stupid thing that my sixth brother made up, and my mother's sudden illness came from this." After thinking about it, Xiao Xuan kept an eye on it, and did not tell Hu what happened afterwards. "I thought in my heart that Miss Yue's younger brother and sister should be detained in the imperial capital at this time, so I wanted to ask my second sister-in-law for a favor to see if I could find out their whereabouts. When the time comes, we will think of ways to save people, and we will not press this matter. ”

"Okay, I got the thing." Hu Shi glanced at Yue Ying again and said. "Fortunately, I have been married to the king of the county for many years, and I still know a little about him. Since he has made such an arrangement, people should be hidden in the imperial capital. I'll try to find out, and I'll have someone send you a message when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Xuan glanced at Yue Ying, who also bowed to the Hu family gratefully and then retreated. "Second sister-in-law, what is your relationship with your second brother now?"

"What is this doing, the princess asking?" Hu laughed at himself. "Anyway, I am the concubine given to him by His Majesty, no matter how much he dislikes me or not, he must offer me well in the mansion. Besides, I also have an heir who can be taken care of, so what about my relationship with him. Now in the house, I have pushed the house to Concubine Liao to do, I just take care of the children in the house, he lives his own life, and when I am free, I can't see him for ten days and half a month. It's good, out of sight and out of mind, and my life with him has been saved a lot. ”

"Second sister-in-law......" Xiao Xuan also sighed in her heart after listening to Hu's words.

The relationship between Xiao Jin and Hu is not harmonious, but no matter how in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jin is the king of Jinjun and Hu is the princess of Jinjun, and the husband and wife are always one.

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Hu Shi smiled and quickly changed the topic. "Let people call the children over, and Brother Min'er, I just got a piece of good jade the day before yesterday, and I happened to bring it today, it is a whole piece of jade, and the princess can order someone to make a few accessories for Brother Min'er." This jade can raise people, and it is best for children to wear it. ”

Hu and the children stayed in Xiao Xuan's mansion for most of the day, and Hu watched the sunset outside the courtyard and took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

"It's not too early, I've been bothering the princess with the children for a long time today, it's time to take them back to the house." Hu called the children to his side and said to Xiao Xuan. "Another day, when I have good news, I'll come to the house and talk to the princess."

"Then I'll send my second sister-in-law." Xiao Xuan didn't stay, got up and sent Hu and the others to the gate of the princess's mansion.

When waiting for the carriage from the Jinjun Palace's mansion to come and pick up people, the Hu family ordered the maids to escort a few children to board the carriage first.

Xiao Xuan followed behind Hu Shi and thanked her softly again, after Hu Shi's body was slightly stunned, she turned her head to look at Xiao Xuan but did not speak, just bowed her head slightly, and then handed her hand to the maid beside her and boarded the carriage by her.

Seeing the carriage of the Jinjun Palace's departure, Xiao Xuan was just about to turn around and go back to the mansion, when she suddenly heard someone calling her at the steps.

"The slave maid has seen the princess, I am the maid of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I am waiting by the county lord's side on weekdays." At the foot of the stairs stood a maid. "The county lord sent me to talk to the princess, the county lord knows that the princess will rest tomorrow, and wants to invite the princess and the princess to return to the Zhenguo Mansion tomorrow, and there is something important to discuss with the princess and the princess."

"Well, I know you." Xiao Xuan recognized the maid who came to report the news, and after Mama Liu, who had served by the side of the county lord of Duansu for many years, returned to her hometown for retirement due to old age, it was the maid in front of her who took over Mama Liu's errand. "I'll go back early tomorrow morning."

"The slave will go back to the house to report to the county lord."

"Well, let's go back."

In the evening, Duan Shaolan came back from duty, Xiao Xuan waved away the maid who wanted to come forward to serve, and personally changed Duan Shaolan's clothes.

"In the evening, my mother sent someone to deliver the news." Where could Duan Shaolan let Xiao Xuan change his clothes for him, after taking off his outer robe, he took the regular clothes from Xiao Xuan's hand and changed them himself. Xiao Xuan took the warm water-soaked handkerchief from the maid again, and said while handing it to him. "Said that I asked you and you to go back to the Zhenguo Mansion tomorrow, and said that there was something important to tell us, and I had promised to go back early tomorrow morning."

"Mother knows that I will rest tomorrow, and my father should also be in the house, so we will go there early tomorrow." After Duan Shaolan learned about this, he seemed to have known about it a long time ago.

"Looks like you know why Mother called us back?" Xiao Xuan asked curiously. "Tell me about it?"

"Now what else can happen in the Zhenguo Mansion that is worth calling both of us back, first, it is about the title of the mansion, and second, it is Sister Chu'er's marriage." Xiao Xuan has been concerned about the affairs of Emperor Liu, Xiao Jun, and Brother Min recently, and naturally does not know much about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Duan Shaolan is clear about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. "Last year, the eldest uncle combed a woman from a trick house outside as an outer room, and the eldest aunt knew about this matter, but the eldest uncle protected the woman tightly, and the eldest aunt was afraid that her grandfather would know about it, so she didn't dare to make too much trouble. Because of Shaoyou's matter, the eldest uncle suffered two meals from his grandfather, and the eldest uncle had already been hollowed out by wine and meat, and I heard that the eldest aunt's body had just improved, and the eldest uncle fell again. My father got the news that the eldest uncle was sick and the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion was not very good. ”

Xiao Xuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at Duan Shaolan with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Could it be that the eldest uncle's illness is related to the outer room from that theater?"

"Listen to my father, that's probably it." When the prince of Zhenguo made such a fuss, even Duan Shaolan was a little embarrassed to say it. "The eldest uncle was beaten, and his condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly, and he may not be able to hide it soon. You know your grandfather's temperament, but if your uncle has such an illness, I'm afraid that the position of the son of the world will not be stable. ”

"In that case, Sister Chu's marriage doesn't have to be booked in a hurry." Xiao Xuan said. "Sister Chu is only the daughter of Shangshu now, if her father really inherits the title, Sister Chu'er's identity will be different."

"Speaking of this matter, it seems that the eldest aunt and grandmother have reached a consensus, and the eldest aunt came to the door yesterday to discuss the matter with my mother." Duan Shaolan said with a smile. "Now there are many people who come to inquire about Sister Chu's marriage, and I heard that the eldest aunt means that she wants to make a small decision between Cousin Yu's participation in the imperial examination, and settle the marriage between Cousin Yu and Sister Chu. The eldest aunt also gave her dowry golden hairpin to Sister Chu, and her mother couldn't refute the eldest aunt's face, so she had to let Sister Chu accept the golden hairpin. It's just that marriage is a big deal, and my mother hasn't let go of this marriage. ”

"With what I know about Sister Chu, marrying into the Xianwang Mansion is indeed a good choice. The princess of King Xian has a clear personality, and Sister Chu personally came to the door to ask for marriage for her young son, and she will definitely not treat Sister Chu harshly in the future. Xiao Xuan said what he thought. Besides, although Sister Chu has also learned some things from her mother in the past few years, in the end, Sister Chu's character is the best to marry a favored younger son. ”

"You have the same concerns as your mother." Duan Shaolan took Xiao Xuan into his arms and hugged her and said. "Cousin Yu is indeed a good match. He has a good appearance and temperament, and he is also very good to Sister Chu when he is young. ”

"Alright." Xiao Xuan looked up. "Anyway, whatever my mother wants to discuss with us, we'll know when we go back tomorrow."

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan took Brother Min back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Knowing that their family of three was coming, Lord Duansu and Sister Chu, who got the news, were waiting at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as they appeared, Lord Duansu and Sister Chu walked over quickly.

"Hurry up and give me a hug of Brother Min." The county lord of Duansu saw Brother Min who was leaning on Duan Shaolan's arms, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to him.

It's a pity that Brother Min didn't sleep well in the morning, and he was losing his temper.

"Mother, Brother Min didn't sleep well in the morning. I coaxed him so easily, let's go into the house. Duan Shaolan was afraid that if he suddenly changed to a different person, Brother Min would cry again.

"Hey, I forgot to tell you. I didn't expect you to bring Brother Min back, he should have been angry when he got up so early at a young age. "The lord of Duansu County said when he saw that Brother Min looked like he was ignoring people." Hurry up and take Brother Min in. ”
