Chapter Ninety-Five: The Eyes Are Higher Than the Heavens

Jin Xiang has been in Hefu for many years and knows everything in the mansion clearly.

There were four wives and concubines in the Xinning Prefect's Mansion and the Righteous and Adult's Mansion.

A main room Meng Guangmei, a young lady born in a scholarly family, married to Master He at a young age, and gave birth to the only son of the He family and Guangkun the following year.

Cui Ping, the second room, also known as Aunt Ping, is the personal maid of the righteous mother and the old lady, and has served and righteous since she was a child. It is understandable that the young master and the maid gave birth to some wind and snow, but Cui Ping was born lowly and couldn't be a wife, so she had to marry into Hefu as a concubine.

Cui Ping is also the one who has followed Hezheng for the longest time, arrived in Hefu earlier than Meng Guangmei, and her feelings for Hezheng are pure and simple, deeper than Meng Guangmei.

Gu Qiushui, the third room, is the cousin of Meng Guangmei's blood relative. Meng Guangmei married into the eighth year of Hefu, and Guangkun was six years old, Cui Ping had a pregnancy, because Cui Ping and He Zheng had a special relationship, Meng Guangmei was afraid that Cui Ping would cross over after giving birth to a child, so he put his cousin in line with He Zheng.

Unbeknownst to Cui Ping's child, Gu Qiushui gave birth to two in a row, but fortunately, both of them were daughters.

The three women respected Meng Guangmei and had nothing to do with each other for many years, until two years ago, when He Zhengyi brought back a young woman named Ah Wan from the music square.

Ah Wan is only in her early twenties, younger than He Guangkun, tender and watery, the most favored by justice, although she is still disciplined by Meng Guangmei to be obedient, but Jin Xiang clearly knows that Ah Wan is not as obedient as she seems on the surface.

And justice and that Awan, it is like a pear flower pressing a begonia, although it is not pale hair and red makeup, but it is not satisfied with the begonia flowers that bloom brightly.

Every seven days, at three o'clock, Ah Wan went to the ancestral hall in the backyard alone.

Jin Xiang has secretly followed her several times, and this time, she brought Jin Xiaotao there early.

"If you want to completely control a person, you have to let her have a handle in your hands." Jin Xiang leaned under the green cypress outside the ancestral hall, and whispered to Jin Xiaotao beside him.

Jin Xiaotao's gaze went beyond the ancestral hall and stared at the gray tower.

The tower, which was originally the attic for storing books in the Japanese Mansion, was burned by a fire from the wooden beams on the roof a few years ago, and the flying carvings and bright colors of the tower were burned to the ground, leaving only the gray-black remains that had not been repaired in time.

The first floor is still intact, and an iron door is locked with a copper lock, which has become the best place to detain the subordinates who have committed crimes in the palace.

At this moment, Jin Xiaofeng was locked there.

The corners of Jin Xiaotao's mouth raised slightly, she was used to being bullied by Jin Xiaofeng since she was a child, when she was in the Jin family, she was Jin Xiaofeng's maid, looking up to people's snorts, picking up people's teeth and living wisely.

Since the day she became sensible, she swore that one day, she must trample Jin Xiaofeng under her feet, and Jin Xiaofeng will never turn over.

Now, her chance has come.

And this opportunity was snatched by herself little by little.

"I just want Jin Xiaofeng to live better than to die!" Jin Xiaotao laughed directly.

Jin Xiang patted Jin Xiaotao's shoulder: "Don't worry, keep it as you wish." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman with a slender figure and a graceful posture, walking quickly to the side of the ancestral hall.

The woman is Ah Wan, with a goose egg face and a pink face, she looked around vigilantly in front of the ancestral hall, and when she saw that there was no one on the left and right, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall.

After waiting for a while, it was estimated that the show was being staged, and Jin Xiang beckoned Jin Xiaotao to go to the ancestral hall together.

Before he reached the door, he could faintly hear the wheezing sound of men and women hearing each other, and the spring light leaked through the cracks in the half-closed panes.

Ah Wan was dressed in a red Luo skirt and belted, and half leaned on the offering table in front of the ancestral hall, revealing a large area of white skin, like a fresh water chestnut that had just been peeled off.

In front of her, a thin man dressed in gray was lingering in the fragrant smell of water chestnut.

The two were fascinated, and they didn't notice Jin Xiang and Jin Xiaotao, who were approaching softly.

Jin Xiang didn't hesitate, raised her foot and slammed the door.

The men and women in the hall were shocked and stood up, Ah Wan's face was scattered, and in a panic, she pulled the scattered clothes, and the red clothes rolled over the tablet of the ancestors of the He family neatly displayed behind the table, and several heavy wooden tablets were rolled up and fell to the table.

The man was even more at a loss, so he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he turned his head and knelt down in front of the door, prostrate himself and kowtowed.

Jin Xiang turned her head, didn't look at the man's naked body, and said disdainfully: "Quickly put on your clothes!" You two are really bold, so lawless, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning when you do such a reluctant thing in front of the ancestral spiritual throne! ”

After Ah Wan saw the person coming clearly, her heart was half suspended, and half of it was relieved, tears immediately came up, her voice was soft, and she begged: "Xiao Tao, I beg you not to shake this matter out, Brother Zong and I are in love, and I have made a private agreement for life as early as when I was in Lefang, but I ...... It's just that my life is like a mustard, and I can't make my own decisions, so I entered the Hefu ......"

Jin Xiaotao said slowly: "Since you have entered the He Mansion, why are you still disconnected from your old lover, or in this ancestral hall, if you are discovered by Master He, I am afraid that you will not just lose a small life." ”

Ah Wan's tears kept flowing: "I have no way, only this place for a long time no one will come, how do I know, I will meet you today." ”

"It's just a misfortune that we've upset the two of you." Jin Xiang raised her eyebrows, "We'll leave immediately, and it just so happened that Madame asked us to drink tea." ”

"Don't!" Ah Wan also knelt down after a plop, "Please don't tell Madame, you can do whatever you want me to do!" ”

Jin Xiang waited for this sentence, and chuckled lightly at the moment: "If we want to keep our mouths shut, it's actually very simple, as long as you are willing to give up your love brother." ”

The man who was leaning on the ground finally raised his head and swallowed.

Ah Wan took a deep breath: "You guys, what do you want to do with Brother Zong?" ”

"Not good." Jin Xiang has never liked to go around the corner, "Our purpose is Meng Guangmei, but we just want to use your love brother as an introduction, lure her into the urn, and throw herself into the net." ”

"Ma'am?" Ah Wan was startled, straightened her waist and slumped, and sat on her lap.

"Yes, ma'am. Do you want to replace her and be the lady of this and mansion? Jin Xiang took advantage of the situation and asked.

"I don't dare." Ah Wan trembled.

"It's not whether you dare, it's whether you want to." Jin Xiang stared at Awan's face, "You just need to think, it's up to us to do what you dare or not." ”

Ah Wan suddenly raised her head and agreed softly: "Yes." ”

The words blew through and drifted away in the solemn ancestral hall.

Rows of black-pressed cards were in high positions, and Jin Xiang stared at them without the slightest trembling.

The tablet is dead, and she is alive.

She wants to live to climb up step by step, and all the people seem to be just chess pieces in front of her eyes, at her mercy.

Jin Xiang is clear about her identity, she is just an embroidered girl in the Prince's Mansion, even if she can be favored by the prince, she can't marry into the prince's mansion because of her identity.

Unless, in Hefu, she has the final say, as long as Gongjin Xiaotao helps Awan to take the position, and the master can recognize her as a righteous daughter, her status will be very different.

Jin Xiang wants to grasp Jin Xiaotao, pull Zhao Ji, and control the Hefu, the Prince's Mansion, and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty step by step......

It wasn't just two people kneeling in front of her, but the whole world.

Jin Xiang took her eyes off the two kneeling in front of her, looked sideways at the evergreen pines and cypresses outside, and took a long breath.

……

Gao Lang already has his own room, but he has never slept alone.

I rubbed Jin Xiaolou's legs every night, and then I didn't leave.

Jin Xiaolou even coaxed and rushed away, but due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he failed to drive Gao Lang away several times, so he had to sleep in the same bed with him.

However, Gao Lang still has some use, Jin Xiaolou's legs have recovered faster, and by now, he can walk on the ground.

Before going to bed tonight, Jin Xiaolou, who was limping, finally pulled up Gao Lang, who was lying in his bed, and pushed out the door.

Gao Lang pouted and stood outside the door for a long time, and said angrily: "The lady is ruthless and unrighteous, treat me as a soup woman, and kick it away when the quilt is warm." ”

After shouting, he saw Jin Xiaolou lying in the quilt without saying a word, and stood for a long time, and then returned to his room stupidly.

Gao Lang entered through the door, went straight through the room, and got out through the wooden window at the back.

Jumping up to the eaves in three or two, between the dark cyan tiles, Chang'an, dressed in white, was already waiting on it.

"Seventh Master." Chang'an rubbed his hands, seeing that winter was about to begin, and the frost at night was getting heavier and heavier.

Gao Lang looked at the thick rain clouds in the sky, and said lightly: "The rainstorm is coming, can you figure out how they act?" ”

Chang'an solemnly said: "Around the time of the beginning of winter, in Hefu, the person they want to get rid of is His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt flashed, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled and rolled down.

"Sure enough, it's the third brother." Gao Lang retracted his eyes, flicked his sleeve robe, turned around and left.

Chang'an was stunned for a moment, and at the moment when Gao Lang was about to jump off the eaves, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Protect His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The voice was still there, and the person had disappeared in front of Chang'an's eyes.

In the wing room, Jin Xiaolou slept soundly, and suddenly, as soon as the window opened and closed, a cold moisture rushed in, and then, a warm person got into his bed.

Gao Lang hugged Jin Xiaolou tightly, his lips pressed to her ears, and the exhaled breath tickled her slightly.

"Lady, it's thundering, I'm afraid." Gao Lang muttered, buried his head on Jin Xiaolou's shoulder and remained motionless, like a timid young beast.

Jin Xiaolou sighed lightly, and finally let him rely on his side.

The plan to get rid of Gao Lang failed again.
