Chapter 49
Before the third wife had time to ask Ah Yan about Princess Pingxi, news suddenly came from there, saying that Gu Song had been named a four-rank strong general.
Hearing the news, the third wife was naturally overjoyed and couldn't believe it. Although he had thought that Gu Song had followed the Nine Emperor Princes to the frontier before, and he also had military exploits, he should always be rewarded, but this matter has been hanging in the air, and he always feels unsure. Now that the Qiang people have surrendered, King Ning has returned to Beijing, the Son of Heaven has a great heart, and he has sealed all the meritorious people, so Gu Song has also been crowned a four-rank general!
Although throwing a brick in Yanjing City can kill three officials, no one is greedy for those official titles that have not fallen into their own homes. Now Gu Song is only twenty years old, just past the age of the weak crown, and he has a lot of fame. His future is naturally bright!
The third wife was there to chant Buddha and comfort her deceased husband, but she felt that her waist was straight from then on.
When Ah Yan heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed. The elder brother in the previous life relied on the protection of his fourth sister, and he barely got an imperial businessman, but he didn't do a good job, and he barely survived. At that time, the fifth sister was really a brother who was reduced to the dust, who could afford to look at Gu Song in the third room at that time.
I never thought that in this life, I was already a general of the fourth grade at a young age.
Ah Yan was overjoyed, and only felt as if he had eaten a chilled watermelon on a summer day, and he was indescribably happy.
Let's take a look at the mansion again, the eldest young master is now twenty-two years old, and he used to do this and that, and he didn't have anything to do, but now he doesn't do anything, so he stays at home, waiting for the next day to attack the title of Duke Jingguo. As for the second young master, he is now twenty-one years old, and he said that he was going to be born from the imperial examination, but at his age, he was just a mixed person, and in the end, the eldest master went out to find an old man, so he found an idle messenger and sent it out.
In such a comparison, the three young masters in the Guogong Mansion are still their own brothers, who are the most competitive!
Facing the joy of the third room, the eldest young master's face was not very good-looking, and the second young master laughed dryly, and went to compliment Gu Song in turn.
The old ancestor didn't speak for a while, but finally asked about the matter in King Ning's mansion.
So the housekeeper said: "I heard that King Ning returned to Beijing this time, and the saint was overjoyed and rewarded King Ning with 5,000 households." ”
The ancestor listened, and finally liked it between his eyebrows, and at this time, there was a housekeeper from King Ning's mansion who came over, it turned out that King Ning returned to Beijing this time, because he was busy with trivial matters, he didn't come to the house to meet him, so he ordered the housekeeper to send all kinds of gifts.
At this moment, all the people in the big house who originally had a bad face finally had joy on their faces, thinking that King Ning had returned, and he was so valued by the emperor, and the life of the Jingguo Mansion would be better and better in the future.
"In the final analysis, I still hope that the eldest girl of our family can open up branches and leaves for King Ning's Mansion as soon as possible!" the old ancestor thought far-reachingly, and sighed while there were no outsiders in the room.
And in the next few days, because of the return of King Ning, the Jingguo Mansion is indeed rising, and the Houmen Mansion that has never moved around in the past has sent an invitation one by one, and there are also those who have been invited to enjoy the flowers and grass, and there are also those who have been invited to go to the city to play outside. Of course, there is also a lady matchmaker who has nothing to do in Beijing, who was entrusted by other families to come to kiss.
Now there are several young masters and girls in the Jingguo Mansion who have not been married. The eldest young master got married early, and the second young master had already decided on the second girl of the provincial service family, which was impossible.
However, now the hot third young master Gu Song in the third room is the newly rewarded Zhengsi Zhongwu General, and some people are rumored that he is eight feet tall and burly, heroic and handsome, so for a while, Gu Song became the son-in-law candidate of many people in Yanjing City.
The old ancestor looked at this scene, although he didn't like it in his heart, but in the end, Gu Song was already in the age of a weak crown, and he should have set a marriage for him a long time ago. However, the ancestor was picky, and talked to several people successively, and the ancestor either disliked it.
The third lady saw it in her heart, so she said to Ah Yan in private: "I see that the families I talked about before are all excellent girls, why didn't the old ancestor like any of them!"
Ah Yan sneered and whispered to his mother: "In my opinion, just because it is excellent, it is better than the family business set by the second young master, and the ancestor is naturally unwilling." ”
Hearing this, the third lady also nodded: "You are extremely right. ”
The third wife figured out this, and inevitably worried: "Seeing that Ah Song is already not small, he can't be delayed because of this." Although I have put two people in his room in the past two years, but in the end, he has not married, and he does not dare to let the people in his room have a body, so if it is delayed, when will I be able to hold my grandson!"
Listening to her mother say this, Ah Yan is not easy to talk to as a girl. In fact, this matter is also her mother's confusion, where can ordinary girls listen to this kind of talk!
But since he listened to his mother, Ah Yan inevitably persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, in another year or two, maybe there will be a better one." ”
The third lady thought about it and understood: "Well, that's the only way." ”
What Ah Yan actually thinks is that if the Nine Emperors are developed, his brother will naturally rise to the top, and he will not be worried about it when the time comes?
Ah Yan rubbed the bracelet on his wrist with a smile, thinking to himself, besides, I can't say that in a few days, my identity will be different.
This night, the Nine Emperor Princes and King Ning talked about the situation in the court in the study, and he returned to his Jutian Pavilion, and as soon as he went upstairs, he felt that his breath was wrong.
When I looked over again, I saw a girl sitting on my bed, with her shoulders half exposed, her eyes full of spring, looking at herself coquettishly.
Seeing that she appeared, she hurriedly lowered her head shyly, came over and said softly: "Nine Emperor Princes, maid red branches, today the maid will serve the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
The Nine Emperors frowned slightly, stared at the maidservant, and asked lightly, "Who ordered you to come?"
The maidservant girl named Hongzhi bit her lip and smiled shyly: "The princess said that there has been no one to serve the Nine Emperors, so ......"
The Nine Emperor Princes sneered and said coldly, "It's ridiculous. ”
His voice was so low and hoarse that the maid didn't hear it clearly, but just looked at the Nine Emperor Princes in a daze.
In the dark, the Nine Emperor Princes glanced at the maidservant, but felt that her shy appearance looked a little like a person.
He was suddenly in a good mood and said with a smile: "You were ordered to come to serve, how do you serve?"
When Hongzhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and his soft eyes hooked the young man in front of him: "Nine Emperor Princes, how you want your servant to serve, how you want your servant to serve." ”
The Nine Emperors nodded and said, "Okay, you go downstairs, get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and grind the ink for me. ”
Hongzhi looked at the Nine Emperor Princes in disbelief: "Nine Emperor Princes?"
The Nine Emperors' good mood and patience had been exhausted at this time, his eyes were cold, his handsome facial features suddenly exuded a compelling momentum, and the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly: "What, you are disobedient?"
Hongzhi trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt there: "Yes, yes, yes, Hongzhi obeys orders!"
After speaking, as if fleeing for his life, he trembled his legs and crawled downstairs to grind the ink.
After the servant girl left, the Nine Emperor Princes knocked lightly on the window lattice a few times, and then they heard a gust of wind, and then a tall man dressed in black knelt in front of the Nine Emperor Princes.
In the darkness, the angular face of the Nine Emperor Princes was as handsome as a ghost, his dark eyes exuded a sharp coldness, and his thin lips pursed into a mocking smile.
"When will the things in my room be spread everywhere?"
The Nine Emperors naturally understood that the maid made the bed for him that day and saw the traces on the bed, so not only the imperial brother knew about this matter, but even the imperial sister-in-law also knew, and now she dared to stuff people in his room on her own initiative?
He doesn't mind that he has nothing to do and his dreams are known to everyone, but he definitely doesn't allow anyone to sleep outside the couch!
In the previous life, he was the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and because he was busy with government affairs and the affairs of the harem, he easily did not interfere. I always thought it was just a women's dispute, and it didn't hurt.
But until one day, he saw the shadow in his heart, and passed away in the back house, and under the investigation, the truth was shocking!
From that moment on, there can no longer be anything dirty in the harem.
The imperial pen in his hand turned into a deadly butcher knife, a red vermilion batch, and I don't know how many people's lives were approved.
Even the only two concubines in his harem were not spared.
As for this life, prevent the slightest mistake, he, the imperial sister-in-law, don't want to get involved in his affairs.
At this moment, the black-clothed man kneeling there also sensed the cold anger of the Nine Emperor Princes, with Senhan's bloodthirsty violence.
The man in black was slightly startled, he had always known that the young Nine Emperor Princes who followed him were inextricably happy, but he never knew that he, who had always been expressionless, would be so angry.
At the moment, he said respectfully: "Qi Qi Nine Emperor Princes, my subordinates will definitely find out about this matter." ”
So that night, there were seven servant girls, three servants, and one gardener in King Ning's mansion out of thin air.
As for how they disappeared, no one knows.
That night, a delicate woman named Hongzhi sharpened her ink in the Jutian Pavilion all night, and her hands trembled at the end.
She thought she had been wronged, and that night she cried and returned to the back room where she usually lived.
But while she was crying, Mama said expressionlessly, "You have a big life." ”
