Xu Hongyuan nodded and said, "I'm okay, Jinjue Pavilion has finally got into the current situation, I can't let it slip up a little bit." The matter of the thousand-year-old jade cicada was originally a fictitious thing, and I don't know who had the ill intentions to get involved with the Xu family. ”

"Readers, it's normal to be a little roundabout, but it's not beautiful to be overdone."

Yan Huanyuan pondered: You think that if you hide in the dark forever, you can sit back and relax, if you change me, you will make a move to lure the snake out of the hole and see who is putting a cold arrow in the back. Besides, it has been three years since the Queen Mother's death, and you are now Xu Sizhen, and those old things of the Xu family are afraid that they will have been forgotten for a long time. I've already explained it in the palace, and I'll keep an eye on it for you. ”

Xu Hongyuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "If the second brother has any orders, just speak." ”

Yan Songyuan sighed and said: "Sixteen for you, I have been unwilling to marry all these years, and I was forced to marry last year, so I married the Shi family." I told him that as long as I left a queen for King Ping's Mansion, I didn't care about anything else.

The Xu family's century-old jade family has been passed down to your generation, and there is no successor. Whether you are willing or not, it is a responsibility that you can't escape from leaving a queen for the Xu family. ”

Xu Hongyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, the corners of his lips were bitter, and said, "What does the second brother want me to do?" ”

Yan Songyuan looked at him, his eyes gloomy and complicated.

After a while, he got up and filled the two cups with wine, drank them all, and said in a low voice: "Yan Hongyu, the granddaughter of Lao Qing Wangfu, is eighteen years old, looks lovely, although her temperament is more indulgent, she can be regarded as a general knowledge, and she has the demeanor of a lady, and she is compatible with Ah Yuan." ”

Xu Hongyuan was taken aback.

The name of Laoqing Wangfu is well-known among these royal relatives in the capital.

This fifty-six-year-old prince is very fond of women, and there are 25 concubines in the Guangfu with names and surnames. According to the generation, he is the youngest brother of the first emperor, and when he sees him today, he has to respectfully call him the emperor's uncle.

is probably the reason why Mo'er is favored, this Qing prince knows that he has no chance to be on the throne, and he focuses on eating, drinking and having fun. The end is the wine pond meat forest, the sound of dogs and horses.

When the first emperor was there, he always turned a blind eye to this younger brother, as long as it was not too much. Let him go. The strange thing is that although there are many women in the palace, there are few who can give birth to a son and a half daughter, and so far, only the old princess has a son and a daughter under her knees.

Lao Tzu is wandering, and his son is naturally not much better, and there is a tendency for the blue to be better than the blue. The feng shui of Xu Shiqing Wangfu is not very good, no matter how many women there are in its backyard, only the princess has a son and a daughter under the knees.

Xu Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Second brother? ”

Yan Songyuan made a silent gesture, and he lowered his voice. said: "As long as you agree, I will do this matchmaking." In the same way as Sixteen, I will leave a queen for the Xu family, and I don't care about the rest. ”

Xu Hongyuan took a deep breath. After a long time, he said: "Do you know about this?" ”

Yan Songyuan shook his head and sighed: "He wants to find you a gentle and virtuous person, whose family background is not obvious, and who is easy to handle." That's what I mean, you think about it! ”

Xu Hongyuan understood what the second brother meant.

Although the old king of Qing seems to be absurd, the bottom generation is placed there, among the princes of the older generation. is the only one left who has lived peacefully until now. If his second brother ascends to the throne one day, there are indispensable respected elders in the royal family who stand up to speak for him, and King Lao Qing can be described as a high-level speaker.

It's just that the second brother has a lot of young talents around him, why he is looking for him, Xu Hongyuan is a little unclear.

Yan Songyuan didn't understand the question in his heart, and said slowly: "I, the emperor's uncle, have such a granddaughter under his knees. I can't help but pamper myself, and I want to find a wishful husband for my granddaughter, where did I think that my cousin let out the words that it is okay to marry. In the future, the man was not allowed to take a concubine, so it was delayed until now. ”

Xu Hongyuan suddenly understood. Not taking a concubine may be an incredible thing for other men, but for him and Sixteen, it can be said that it is unwanted.

He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, opened them again, slowly turned his head, and said word by word to Yan Songyuan: "Second brother, my mother told me before she died, and my marriage needs to be approved by my niece Jiang Xinyao." As long as she says okay, I will do everything according to the second brother's orders. ”

Yan Huanyuan glanced at him in some surprise, and said with a smile: "Your uncle is the first in heaven and earth, or not, it just so happens that I will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, so I will ask for you." ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

Yan Huanyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't scold the second brother in your heart." Since you don't want to leave the Hanlin Temple, then stay there and go up a little liter. Three months later, hurry up to the book and return to work, you are not in Beijing, and he can't stay in Beijing. ”

Xu Hongyuan hurriedly got up, half-knelt and said, "Hongyuan thank the second brother!" ”

……

In the blink of an eye, it was April, and before Xiao Han could take a break, the old lady sent someone to call Xin Yao back to Jiang's mansion.

Xin Yao guessed that it must be for Gui Hua's matter, and she wanted to say that she was sick and didn't go, but then thought about it, in case the old lady was unwilling, and then sent someone over, Xiao Han was afraid that she would tear her face and kick people out of the house.

In order to get done once and for all, Jiang Xinyao decided to go on this trip.

Jiang Xinyao stopped all the way to Jiang's mansion, and asked Weiyun to go to Qiushui Courtyard to bring a letter to her mother first, and she took Rong Xiao to Guiyun Hall.

In Guiyun Hall, the old lady waited patiently for a long time before she saw her little granddaughter coming. She carefully looked at her granddaughter's complexion, and then thought of the three girls returning home two days ago, and sighed in her heart.

Xin Yao saw that the old lady's eyes were like knives looking at her, she didn't care at all, she kowtowed three times unhurriedly, got up and took the tea cup in the maid's hand, and tasted it carefully.

The old lady originally planned to let Xin Yao speak first, so that she could naturally ask about the affairs of Xiao Mansion, but Jiang Xinyao looked at her with a smile on her face, looking obedient and obedient. As if to say, old lady, if you have anything to say, just say it to your granddaughter.

In desperation, the old lady had to start with the body of the old lady Xiao and ask, you have something to say, I have something to say, and after asking around, Jiang Xinyao didn't let her get this mouth.

Xin Yao saw that the old lady was slowly losing patience, so she brought the matter to the point.

The old lady hurriedly said: "I heard that on Dr. Du's birthday a few days ago, something happened to the Du family?" ”

When Xin Yao heard this, a sad color gradually appeared on her smiling face, and she said, "The granddaughter is about to talk to the old lady about this." On Dr. Du's birthday, nothing happened, but ......"

"But what?"

Jiang Xinyao hesitated for a long time, with tears in her eyes, and said that Gui Hua betrayed the master, climbed the master's bed, and by mistake, she had a head and end with the housekeeper, and did not mention the framing of the eldest lady of the Du family.

It's not that Xin Yao deliberately wants to hide it for Du Tianying, in the end, it is a girl who has not left the cabinet, this matter has spread, but it is the reputation of Du Mansion that is tired.

At the end, he said: "Old lady, this is all to blame on the granddaughter, let the eldest master put Gui Hua in the room earlier, Gui Hua would not have this mind to want Li Dai Tao stiff, and finally made a mistake, did something stupid, and lost the face of Jiang Fu." Now the people of Du Mansion think that the maids of our Jiang Mansion all want to climb the master's bed. My granddaughter and I have ten mouths, and I can't tell the difference. Old lady, how do you think this is good? ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was about to get angry.

Xin Yao's eyes were quick, and she secretly pinched herself, tears fell down, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "Old lady, fortunately, the old lady is a reasonable person, saying that our Jiang Mansion Shili heirloom, naturally we will not be crooked on the upper beam and crooked on the lower beam, they are all those lowly slaves, who have their minds behind their backs, and ruined the reputation of the Jiang family, he asked me to relax and beat the maids in the house, and everyone who wants to climb the master's bed is thrown out, but he didn't say anything serious." ”

How could Mrs. Jiang not hear this insinuation, the person was given by her, and she trained it single-handedly, if such a thing happened, I was afraid that everyone would laugh at her wife behind her back.

She flicked the Buddha beads a few times and said, "Why did I hear that it was the eldest lady of the Du family who made a ghost in it?" ”

Jiang Xinyao secretly said that it was not good, but she was afraid that Gui Hua had already entered the mansion to see the old lady, and it seemed that she would have to talk to Xiao Han when she went back.

She wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Old lady, the man who has an affair with Gui Hua is Miss Du's uncle, Du Gang, the chief steward of Du Mansion. Na Du Gang had a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter, and he was in the Du Mansion, and now he was expelled from the Du Mansion, and the family cried and cried to beg for a living outside. ”

"It's not that the granddaughter is talking to Miss Du, there is an uncle who is a big housekeeper in the house, the eldest lady has a comfortable life, how can she be stupid enough to do things that move stones and shoot herself in the foot? Besides, what girl's family is so vicious that even her own uncle calculates? ”

When the old lady heard this, she scolded Gui Hua in her heart, what a slut, it turned out that you were not a ghost, you hit by mistake, and you were caught, and you came to me and said that you were framed.

She saw her granddaughter crying sadly, and she had to comfort her with kind words.

Seeing this, Xiaorong knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes: "Old lady, the slave maid went to the Xiao family to wait for the grandmother on the order of the old lady, and now that Guihua has this incident, the slave and maid really have no face to stay in the Xiao family, and the uncle said, if anyone dares to do this again, depending on who she is, they will be beaten out." Please let the old lady come back to serve the old lady for the sake of the slave and maid's sincerity! ”

Old Mrs. Jiang sighed, pondered for a long time, and said, "You followed the fourth lady to the Xiao Mansion, how can there be any reason to go back to the Jiang family?" And in the Xiao family, I have been waiting for the fourth lady. ”

A Gui Hua is already useless, and when Xiaorong comes back, the four girls here are really kites with broken strings. It's good to keep it as an eye.

After hearing this, Xiao Rong turned around, faced Xin Yao, and swore to the sky: "Grandma, if Xiao Rong has two hearts for the eldest grandmother, let Master Lei split the slave in half." Please give the slave another chance and keep the slave by your side. ”

Xin Yao said calmly: "Since the old lady has spoken, I have to keep you, but there are some things that I have to say in advance." ”

The old lady's hand holding the Buddha beads froze, and she only felt a faint pain in her chest. (..)
