Chapter 306: Effort

Jiyuan also closed the courtyard door tightly, and Midsummer slammed the door several times before someone asked in fear, "Who is it?" ”

The bell hurriedly said: "It's our third grandmother who came to see the big * milk." ”

Then he heard someone say inside: "Didn't the princess just send someone to order her to close the gate of the courtyard and not allow her to enter or leave?" ”

Brother Xu Ying had no choice but to step forward and raise his voice: "It's indeed me." Open the door. ”

There was silence for a while, and there was no sound at all.

No one is happy to be well-intentioned and take risks to see people, but they are turned away. The bell said angrily: "Grandma, I don't know what kind of rammer pretending to be deaf and dumb, wait for the maid to shout again." ”

Brother Xu Ying waved his hand and said calmly: "I'm just not at ease, so I came over to take a look, I'm waiting for half a cup of tea outside, if I refuse to open the door, I'll leave." ”

But she didn't wait for half a cup of tea, she was only able to count to ten, and the door opened with a "squeak", and the mother-in-law who opened the door looked behind her master and servant with a vigilant face, and then asked her to go in sideways: "I'm sorry for the third grandmother, I have to be cautious when it's very timely." ”

Brother Xu Ying recognized that the mother-in-law who opened the door was not the mother-in-law who watched the door in Jiyuan before, but the Li family's bridal grandmother, that is, one of the two extraordinary old grandmothers who made a decisive move when Princess He and others made a big fuss in the palace. Thinking that the princess of the world let such a person guard the door, could it have reached the point where such a rumor was heard, and she couldn't help frowning: "Big * milk is good?" ”

"Third aunt, do you really hope that my mother will be well? Don't you think she's dragging down the house? It was not the mother-in-law who replied, but Hua Niang.

At this time, the fifth watch day has passed, and the sky is the darkest time, and the plain white lantern hanging under the porch exudes a bleak light, shining on the Hua Niang in plain clothes, making the girl's figure even thinner, and her eyes are getting darker and darker. Hua Niang's eyes actually look quite similar to Zhang Yizheng, and the appearance of her mother's mother looks quite cute, thinking of Zhang Yizheng, who doesn't know what to do outside at this time, and whether she is safe, Brother Xu Ying's heart swayed a trace of tenderness, and even his tone was much softer: "Hua Niang, what are you talking about?" If I'm afraid, I don't need to come here at this time, just ignore it. ”

Hua Niang's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and said softly: "Don't you think my mother has dragged down the house?" ”

Brother Xu Ying looked at it, but when he saw that there were few people in Jiyuan and the lights were dim, he looked at the old woman standing behind him and kept coughing, and he had a point in his heart. Nai stepped forward and took Hua Niang's hand, and said softly: "What is this, I haven't said this, and your second aunt has never said this, even your grandfather and grandmother have never said it, who dares to chew their tongues?" You are not afraid that your mother will be uncomfortable when you say this. ”

"There are rumors that my mother should judge herself to be virtuous. When I heard the news, they all said that the palace sent someone to get my mother. Hua Niang wiped a handful of tears and said hatefully: "I didn't make this up blindly, some people say that the fourth aunt said it!" And the people in our yard were almost dismissed by my mother, and they went a lot with the plan of high and low, but they were invited a lot by the fourth uncle's father earlier. What do people think about this? ”

"All of you invited your mother's dowryman?" Brother Xu Ying guessed that it probably happened when Zhang Yiduan was cleaning up the mole, but he didn't think that Zhang Yiduan did anything wrong. In a political marriage like this, the bride is equivalent to the eyes and ears of the woman's family, who can still be tolerated at ordinary times, and naturally cannot be easily let go at this critical moment. People must be locked up, but life and death are not certain. As for Feng Bao'er, it is indeed very likely that she will say such a thing.

Hua Niang pointed to the old grandmother behind Brother Xu Ying, and sighed: "Only Mama Huang is left, and Mama Zeng was also invited away." My father didn't tell us what he was going to do, he just came to see him, turned around and left. Speaking of this, he hid his face and cried: "I heard that there was a thief who came in, and my brother didn't know anything, so he took a group of people to follow the fourth uncle to fight hard, and I don't know what the situation is at this time......"

Brother Xu Ying knew that Zhang He, the eldest son of the Li family and Zhang Yicheng, followed Zhang Yiduan to resist foreign enemies, admired in his heart, held Hua Niang's shoulder and smiled: "It's a good thing that your brother has this bravery, it's really in vain for your mother's usual teachings, in addition to your fourth uncle in this mansion, he is the oldest and the eldest grandson, who will go if he doesn't go?" Do you want him to cry and cry under your mother's skirt like you? I think it's good. ”

Hua Niang couldn't help but be a little surprised, and suddenly saw the silver bottle coming out of it and said, "Third grandma, our big * grandmother invites you in." ”

The princess was dressed neatly and hugged her young son, who was already asleep, with a gentle expression, and when she saw Brother Xu Ying entering, she laughed softly: "Who should I be, but it's you." In the middle of the night, you are the only one who has the courage to jump. He beckoned to Brother Xu Ying: "Come and sit, he is a little unbehaved, he cried for a long time before falling asleep, I can't bear to take him out to blow the wind, so I didn't go to greet you when I heard you coming." ”

Brother Xu Ying walked over and touched the child's forehead: "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

The princess shook her head and said lightly: "It's just that the nursing mother was taken away, and I'm not used to it." ”

The child's forehead was really not hot, and Brother Xu Ying fell silent, but the princess had changed the topic: "Do you know who is messing up outside?" ”

This time, she only vaguely heard some meaning in Zhang Yizheng's place, and because she was involved in it from beginning to end, she was able to make a relatively accurate judgment. Princess Kang doesn't need to say it, King Kang will never hide it. But the princess is not necessarily, Zhang Yicheng didn't tell her anything, but it was the best protection for her, what about the Wang family, Zhang Yixian has never returned home since Zhu Houxue, and there is no channel to understand this. As an insider, Brother Xu Ying was not easy to answer the words of the princess, but he couldn't not mention it at all, and after thinking about it for a long time, Fang said: "I don't know who it is, but I think it should be other palaces." I came from the garden, and I heard that although the fighting was fierce, there was no chaos in the garden, so it was all right. ”

The princess nodded and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Brother Xu Ying replied: "I was going to Xuanle Hall to see if there was anything I could do to help my mother, but I came here to take a look because I was worried about you." ”

The princess sighed and said, "You have a heart." Since you're here, you're welcome. Help me bring Hua Niang and Shu Niang over to accompany their grandmother, and I don't have anything else to rely on you. "No matter what you say, Princess Kang is definitely much safer than her, she can't take care of the boys, but her daughter must be very careful.

Brother Xu Ying was slightly surprised when she heard her mention the concubine Shu Niang. The princess smiled and said: "I grew up in front of me since I was a child, and they are well-behaved and filial, but I dragged them down, so it can only be so." ”

Hua Niang's tears couldn't stop falling: "Mother, my daughter is not going anywhere, she is here to accompany you." ”

The princess stroked her hair and sighed, "Silly boy, why don't you learn from your brother?" I can only be okay if you are all well. After saying that, he greeted Shu Niang and Shu Niang's biological mother Yin, who walked in quietly: "Let Shu Niang follow her sister and the third grandmother to Xuanle Hall." ”

Brother Xu Ying came out of Jiyuan, but seeing that the fire in the sky was a little stronger than before, and the sound of fighting was more intense, he was a little scared in his heart. Looking back, but seeing Hua Niang and Shu Niang holding hands tightly, their little faces were full of panic, so they made an indifferent look and smiled: "It's almost dawn, I heard that the princess is playing with Qu Mama, let's go faster, and probably see who loses and who wins." ”

Princess Kang stopped playing at this time, but sat alone on the couch in the middle of the main room, closed her eyes slightly, silently turned the rosary in her hand, and occasionally issued an order. A servant woman hurriedly came in and said, "Princess, there is some tightness at the back corner door, and someone has set it on fire." After extinguishing it a few times, it still didn't work, and the other party actually prepared fire oil. ”

Princess Kang couldn't help frowning, although the courtyard wall of the palace is high, but the area is too large, it is really difficult to guard, although at this time she still has an advantage, but if this fire burns in and the mouth is opened, this palace is afraid that it will be in chaos. When the father and son who are outside have won the world, what does it have to do with them, women and children? The immediate question was, "Who is in charge there?" Tell them that if they can't protect it, everyone will die! If it is protected, it is glory and wealth at your fingertips. After thinking about it, he called out again: "Tell the chief manager to move the gold and silver out!" Tell them that regardless of their identity, if they kill a person, they will give two taels of silver! Wait for the prince to come back and reward the meritorious deeds. ”

Since someone went down to give the order, Princess Kang hesitated to gather several daughters-in-law and grandchildren to Xuanle Hall first, but she was worried that in this way, the inner house would be in chaos first. Just as he was hesitating, he heard Qiu Shi come in and say, "The third grandmother has brought Hua Niangzi and Shu Niangzi over." Then he rejoiced: "Let her in quickly." ”

After seeing the three of Brother Xu Ying, he asked Hua Niang and Shu Niang concisely, and asked Qiu Yue to take people to the wing room to rest: "There are still some times before dawn, you go to rest first, I have something to discuss with your three aunts." ”

But the two sisters didn't go, and begged in a low voice to go to the small Buddha hall to pray for blessings, and Princess Kang was very pleased to see that they had this filial piety: "Then go." He turned his head to look at Brother Xu Ying: "How is the situation outside?" Although I have people here from time to time, I am always worried that they will scare me and deceive me. ”

Brother Xu Ying said: "When my daughter-in-law came over, I felt that the sound of the fight and the light of the fire were worse than before I went to Jiyuan. ”

"I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid it's hard to hold the back corner door." Princess Kang frowned and said: "At this point, it can't be concealed, this kind of thing, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it's better to let the family reunite in one place first." As for the other maids...... Although there are too many people and it is not easy to clean up, it can't be messed up like this, and you have to think of a proper way. ”
