After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Yan had just arranged a few housework, and the mother-in-law on duty at the second gate trotted all the way in, her eyes flashing with a burning light that she didn't know what it meant, "Madame, Madame!" Jiang Gongzi, Jiang Dagongzi! Send someone to say that it is to visit our Nine Ladies in the house......"

"What it looks like!" Mrs. Yan's face sank, and she reprimanded sharply, "Look at you like this, have you gone out of the water or have you entered the thief?" Rush you like this? Lao Liu, get her three months of money! ”

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, she was really dizzy.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Yan waited for her to kowtow four or five times in a row, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, before asking in a deep voice.

"Yes, Prince Jiang sent four mothers-in-law, saying that he heard that the nine ladies in our house were injured by mistake yesterday, and Prince Jiang was very worried, so he specially sent them over to visit. I also brought quite a few things. The mother-in-law's voice trembled slightly, and she said it again.

Mrs. Yan snorted, her eyes swept sternly over the housekeepers and mothers-in-law standing in the room one by one, and said coldly: "Listen to me, you have all seen it, our house, not as before, back and forth, some are big households, but I am afraid that there will be more when receiving orders in the future, and then there are such shallow eyelids and no interest, and they will be sent out!" ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Mrs. Yan then ordered, "Please come in." You go to Mingcui Courtyard to see how the Nine Ladies are doing, you can't see people. ”

Then he ordered the little girl to report to Li Xia, and Mrs. Yan stood up and walked to the flower hall in front of her unhurriedly.

The four mothers-in-law of Jiangfu have extraordinary bearing, and when they saw the ceremony, the leading mother-in-law bowed and said with a smile: "Our uncle went out of the city to check the summer harvest on behalf of the prince, and came back in the middle of the night yesterday. ”

Mrs. Yan smiled modestly, but her heart was very heavy, this visit of the eldest prince Jiang was blatant, this ...... Supposed to be a good thing, right? But her heart, how can she go up and down, this good thing, why does she always have the feeling that the stock is not a good thing......

"Xiao Nizi is naughty and messy, it's unbearable, you eldest son is so bothered, I really don't dare to be it." Mrs. Yan was very polite and polite for a few words, and the girl who went to Mingcui Courtyard came in, and lowered her hand to report: "Mrs. Hui, Jiu Niangzi said that she is fine, she just had a plaster on her face at this time, and she really can't see anyone, please thank Mrs. Jiang for her concern." ”

The four mothers-in-law listened to the girl's words, didn't say a word, said a few polite words, and left.

Mrs. Yan watched the four mothers-in-law go out of the door, retreated from everyone, and motioned to Manqing, "Open it and I'll take a look." ”

Manqing took the four big boxes brought by her mother-in-law and opened them one by one, and Mrs. Yan stood up and looked over one by one.

A box of pearl powder and Poria cream, a box of ointment and cream, the other two boxes, a box of delicate candied dried fruits, and the last box, two cans of tea and a bright Yaobian Jianzhan were placed in the last box.

Mrs. Yan picked up a delicate flower paper erected between two cans of tea, the words on the flower card were elegant and vigorous, few lines, did not say tea, only said that this Jianzhan was obtained by him the year before last, and he liked it very much, a total of two, and gave one to Li Xia to play.

Manqing commanded the two mothers-in-law, and carried a big bamboo leaf in, in the bamboo root, there are all kinds of fresh melons and fruits, as well as a bunch of green wheat ears, and a paper roll tied next to it, Mrs. Yan unceremoniously opened it, and the paper roll was also Jiang Yanshi's own handwriting, saying that this wheat ear was roasted with fire, and the wheat grains were rubbed, and it was extremely fragrant and interesting to eat.

Mrs. Yan re-rolled the paper roll, took two steps back, looked at the four open boxes, and the messy basket of things, and sighed slowly, those mothers-in-law are not polite, this mess of things must have been selected and packaged by Jiang Gongzi himself......

I heard that the Jiang family was no longer married, so I let it go and said that it was not appropriate for the eldest son of Jiang to marry early......

Mrs. Yan sat for a while before instructing Manqing, "Close the box, this is also sealed, you personally send it over, and tell the ninth sister, I have seen it all." ”

Manqing's face was also a little blue, and he hurriedly agreed, closed the box, resealed the bamboo basket, and then called the two old ladies to come in, took the things, and sent them to Mingcui Courtyard.

In the evening, half of Li Xia's face was almost calculated, and he slipped to a rockery not far from the Qingteng Courtyard, and sat on the stone bench reading the book.

Guo Sheng walked straight to Li Xia with his hands behind his back, leaned over and looked at Li Xia's face, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What's going on with Ruan Jinyu?" Li Xia asked bluntly.

"It was an accident." After a pause, Guo Sheng hung his head, "It's not good to do a bad job." Fugui said that when Ruan Qiqi watched the excitement next to the bolted horse pillar under Qingfeng Building, there was nothing unusual, and when he entered Qingfeng Building, there was nothing unusual......

"You have to reflect on this matter yourself and talk about Ruan Jinyu." Li Xia interrupted Guo Sheng's words.

"Yes, General Lu was very shocked when he heard that Ruan Seventeen was coming, and General Lu definitely didn't know about it in advance. After returning from Qingfeng Building, General Lu asked in front of me, Ruan 17 said that he beat people in his hometown, originally wanted to hide in Fujian for a few days, but when he passed through Taizhou, he had a fight with Bai Qiao, saying that he accidentally broke a few tables, and he later knew that Bai Qiao was Bai Qiao, so he didn't dare to go to Fujian, saying that he had nowhere to go, so he had to go to the capital to avoid a few days. ”

Li Xia couldn't say what he felt when he heard that he had a fight with Bai Qiao.

In the past, Bai Qiao was through Ruan Jinyu, and then by Lu Yi, and caught Sun An, who was the commander at that time to eliminate the bandits, did he know Bai Qiao, also because of a fight?

Later, the emperor was suspicious of Bai Qiao, and Ruan Jinyu had an excerpt to defend Bai Qiao, and his words were fierce and sharp, and the emperor was very angry at that time, scolding him for being the same as his ancestors, who were all barbarians who drank blood.

After Ruan Jinyu was reprimanded in public by the emperor, he ripped off his official uniform on the spot and threw it on the ground, shouting: Don't be with bastards. Walk away.

Guo Sheng looked at Li Xia, who was stunned.

"You go on." Li Xia came back to his senses and said with his eyelids down.

"General Lu has asked people to inquire about what the fight in Taizhou was like, saying that there are not only a few tables, but also the Ruan family, and they have also written to the past."

Guo Sheng paused and looked at Li Xia, "I said at the time, call Ruan Seventeen's little entourage over and ask, General Lu said that Ruan Seventeen's Imperial Majesty is very disciplined, and what he heard from his little servant Chang Sui must be what he wants people to know, and he doesn't want people to know, and he can't ask a word." ”

"Hmm." Li Xia hummed absentmindedly.

In the past, Ruan Jinyu went to the capital with Bai Qiao, which she later asked him face-to-face when she appointed Ruan Jinyu to assist in the suppression of bandits and counterinsurgency in the south, and now, he will be in the capital at this time......

"One, Jiang Shangwu has been washing horses for three months to half a year, and he will find a way to hand him over to Lu Yi, and he must be detained in the Qin Palace, or by Lu Yi's side." Li Xia lowered his eyes and commanded.

Guo Sheng listened intently and replied in a low voice.

"Second, find a way to keep Ruan Jinyu in the capital."

Guo Sheng was stunned, and then agreed.

Li Xia stood up and was about to leave, Guo Sheng asked a little abruptly, "Girl, if the prince or General Lu asks about Jiang Gongzi's sending someone to visit......

Li Xia looked back at Guo Sheng, "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Guo Sheng sighed, the girl was right, what does this have to do with him!
