Chapter 90 Guarding against the person next to the pillow

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Xin Yao was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink tea.

August 18 Xu Mansion to send a dowry, 28 to give a dowry, the first six weddings in September, which is the top priority, sloppy, I am afraid that in a hurry, something is missing, people look down on it, she has to ask in person to put her mind at ease.

This busyness, inevitably neglected by one's own body, coupled with the change of seasons, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, the capital has not rained for a long time, the climate is dry, the throat always feels uncomfortable, I always want to cough, and I can't get better after taking a few patches of medicine, so I have to endure the affairs inside and outside the house.

Xiao Han was extremely distressed when he saw her working so hard, and when he heard her cough at night, he didn't even have to call the maid, so he personally poured warm water to feed her to drink, helped her calm down, and then coaxed her to sleep. In the past few days, there have been a lot of things in the yamen and King Jing's mansion, so I have to tell the maids in the house to be attentive everywhere at all times

Fortunately, the Qingwangfu was extremely satisfied with the bride price, especially when he saw a pair of live geese jumping in the bride price sent by the Xu Mansion, the smiles on the faces of the people in the Qingwangfu became more and more vigorous.

Xin Yao heard the man return home to talk about the grand occasion of giving the bride price, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thanks to Sixteen." ”

Yan Sixteen set out from the capital, paid attention all the way, and finally caught three live geese on the edge of a swamp hundreds of miles away from the capital, which was sent to Xiao Mansion quickly, causing everyone in Xiao Mansion to watch more than once.

Jiang Xinyao turned around the three geese a few times before sending the fattest two of them to Xu's Mansion, and the remaining one was released.

Xiao Han smiled: "It can be regarded as a heart. It's hard for him! ”

Xin Yao asked with excitement on her face, "At the beginning." Where did you get that goose you sent to Jiang's mansion? ”

Xiao Han leaned on the brocade mat, looked at the dowry list in his hand by candlelight, and said without raising his head: "I beat it myself." It took three days to hit one, and he was able to hit three at once, which is really a good fate! ”

Xin Yao had always known that the wild geese were extremely difficult to fight, but she didn't expect that he would call after guarding them for three days. As soon as I wanted to speak, I felt a little itchy in my throat and coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Xiao Han hurriedly put down the list. got up and poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her, and then took a thin blanket on the bed and covered Xin Yao. Said: "Can I take the medicine today?" Why is it still not good? Ming'er asked her grandfather to try a different prescription! ”

Xin Yao hurriedly said: "How can I use this, I am used to living in the south, there is a lot of rain and water in the south." The climate is humid and the north is dry, and I've been here for three or four years, and when the seasons change, every year. I think that at the beginning, when I first arrived in the capital, I was not accustomed to the water and soil, I vomited and discharged, and I had a rash on my body. No matter how much medicine I took, I was so scared that I thought I was dying. It took a month to get better, and now I only cough once or twice. It's a rarity. ”

When Xiao Han heard this, his face was full of displeasure and said: "It is rare to cure the root." Ming'er, I'll let Tianxiang show you again. These days, I am not in the house, you be careful, let the night watchman be more vigilant at night. ”

Xin Yao didn't care and said, "Why bother to mobilize the people." It's just a few coughs, and it'll be fine in two days. ”

Let's talk about it. Without waiting for the man to answer, he added, "Is the news reliable?" How could King Han hide them behind Yanshan? ”

Xiao Han said in a low voice: "It should be reliable, this person next to King Han, the second brother laid it down more than ten years ago, and he has never used it, this is the first time." Yaoyao must have never been to Yanshan, that area is surrounded by mountains, the terrain is extremely steep, hide a few people, it is not a problem. ”

Xin Yao sneered and said, "If this Zhao Hu knew that his family had been moved to this place a long time ago, he wouldn't know how to feel. ”

Xiao Han said, "How could he not know?" This place, I'm afraid that he chose it himself, and those people in the Zhao family's old mansion are just used to hide people's eyes. It's a shame that the master also set up more than a dozen secret guards there. ”

"Master must not startle the snake this time, find out the truth and then say, if it is true, just let people stare at it secretly."

Xiao Han said: "Don't worry, hurry up, within six days, you will definitely come back." I have already told Xiao Zhong to ask him to go to Du Mansion tomorrow to pick up Tianwei, and with her with you, no one will speak. ”

Xin Yao didn't expect the man to be so careful, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes fluttered: "I haven't seen Sister Tianwei for a few days, it's strange to think, how is she now?" ”

Xiao Han smiled: "She, she was detained in the room by her aunt, and she couldn't go anywhere." ”

In mid-June, King Fu's Mansion congratulated his brother for 100 days, and somehow sent a post to Du's house, inviting Mrs. Du and Miss Du to come over to drink happy wine. As soon as the Du family and his wife discussed, Xiao Jingxian took her daughter to give a gift according to the rules, and returned to the house after eating the banquet.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, Fuwangfu invited the official media to come to the door to say goodbye, and wanted to take Du Tianwei as a side concubine. The Du family and his wife were shocked, and went to the temple overnight to discuss with Du Taibo.

Du Taibo secretly invited King Jing over, and after the two discussed, they decided to marry the second girl from the Du family's three-room concubine, the sixteen-year-old Du Tianping, to the Fuwang Mansion.

One day at the end of July, Du Tianping was dressed in rose, and was carried into the Fuwang Mansion, and his biological mother Ding relied on her daughter as a side concubine, and her eyes looked up.

Ren couldn't hold it down, so he ran to Xiao Jingxian in the big room to complain, and there was a lot of complaint in his words. After Xiao Jingxian persuaded her a few times, in a fit of anger, she simply detained her daughter in the house to save trouble.

Xin Yao sighed: "Tianxiang, Tianwei's marriage still let my aunt make plans early." settled down the family, and saved others from worrying. Now that the situation is not yet clear, some people are eyeing it, once the situation is settled, the threshold of Du Mansion will definitely be flattened by a few inches. ”

Xin Yao knows very well that as the brother, sister, and marriage of the uncles of the two princes, how can it be casual, and it must be involved with the court.

Not to mention far away, just Yan Sixteen, the little uncle's marriage, which one is due to himself? Even those women in King Jing's own backyard are all political marriages.

The Du family, it's just that it's not time for the time, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape this fate. With just these words, she can only talk to Xiao Han until the end, and it is useless to say more.

Xiao Leng laughed and said, "The younger brother of Concubine Liu of the Jingwang Mansion." A young official came to Du Mansion to propose to Tianwei. ”

Concubine Liu, now twenty years old. He has a son, whose son has just turned two years old, after the famous family of Jinan, Shandong, his father is the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, and he is a five-rank official.

Xin Yao shook her head and said: "The great cause has not been accomplished, the concubine in your second brother's backyard, the side concubine has come up with her own little abacus." It's chilling. ”

Xin Yao lowered her voice and said, "Not to mention that your second brother is only a prince at this time, even if he ascends the throne." It's just in his early thirties, and he's in the prime of life, so it's too early. It's better to refuse this family business a long time ago. This Concubine Liu is thinking too much. Hit the idea on Tianwei, it's really dizzy"

Xiao Han said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the Chi family asked Princess Chi to kiss Tianxiang, but in order not to slap Princess Chi's face, my aunt and uncle only found a reason to excuse it. ”

Xin Yao suddenly realized: "It turned out that I was afraid of being preempted." ”

There are three sons and four daughters in King Jing's mansion, Princess Chi and Concubine Liu each have a son. As King Jing's favorite cousin, cousin naturally became the best chess piece for the two princesses to consolidate their respective status, if they could marry him. The benefits in the future are clear.

"Doesn't your second brother know this?"

Xiao Han said thoughtfully: "Yaoyao, do you know which kind of woman in this world is the most annoying to men?" ”

"Which one?"

"It reads clearly on his face*. There are constant small movements behind her back, but she pretends to be a virtuous and loyal, light and breezy woman. Do you think that a smart person like the second brother, where can you not see the minds of these people? The reason why I indulged it was just to see what tricks they could use. ”

Xin Yao raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Even the people next to the pillow have to be guarded, your second brother is having a hard time this day." ”

Xiao Han saw Xin Yao like a peach blossom under the lamp. The starry eyes are slightly hazy, and they are whispering. was a little dry-mouthed, thinking that he would leave the house tomorrow, his eyes tightened and said deeply: "Since ancient times, emperors and generals, which one is not so?" How can it compare to us? ”

With that, the man stretched out his long arms, hugged the woman, and went to the clean room.

……

At noon on the second day, Xiao Zhong personally took Miss Cousin back to the house, and the two sisters-in-law had not seen each other for a long time.

Seeing the old lady's blue face, the two Wutong looked like they wanted to leave but were reluctant to go, turned their backs and secretly smiled.

Xiao Ting is really different, everyone else is patriarchal, he likes women rather than men. When he gave birth to a pair of daughters, the clansmen said that this was a dead pulse, but he didn't care at all, and only treated the two daughters as if they were the top of his heart.

After having the next generation, it is even more so, facing Xiao Han, Du Tianxiang, Du Tianfei's three grandchildren, the grandson has never had a good face, but he loves Du Tianwei like a treasure, and he can't wait to keep it by his side, and he can see his granddaughter all the time. Now that her granddaughter is so flower-like, and she hasn't been close for a long time, how can there be anything in my heart that isn't pantothenic?

Xin Yao's eyes were sharp, and she glanced at Tianwei, and the two of them turned the conversation to the old lady, so they sang and agreed, but it was just half a cup of tea, which made the old lady smile.

The three of them had lunch in the side hall of the West Courtyard, and during the banquet, Du Tianwei picked out some funny and interesting things in the house and told her grandfather. (http://)。 The old lady kept putting vegetables in his granddaughter's bowl. The affectionate appearance of the grandfather and grandson reminded Xin Yao of the scene when she had dinner with her grandfather in the old mansion.

She joked at the moment: "My sister is here, my grandfather has no one else in his heart, and in the past, he still said, 'Daughter-in-law, this dish, you eat more, that dish, you eat more', today, I waited with my ears for a long time, and I heard my grandfather keep saying, 'Tianwei, this dish is good, you eat more; That dish is good, you eat more', I forgot about it a long time ago, I don't have to hurt, no one loves me, where can I still eat, the vinegar is full! ”

Xin Yao's vivid words made the grandparents and grandchildren lean forward and backwards, and they invariably sandwiched a chopstick dish and sent it to her bowl, which made Xin Yao blush. (To be continued)
