Chapter 227: Uneasiness (Part II)

Taifu Temple is in charge of the decree of horse herding and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Raise herding and foster horses in six counties of Shandong and Henan. If there is grassland that has been reclaimed into farmland for some reason, the military department shall be responsible for collecting rent every year. In the event of a disaster, it should be used to finance the sale of horses.

This year, the snow is heavy, Jinan, Dongchang, Kaifeng, Weihui and other places are seriously affected, and the four temples have gone to Beijing for help. Princess Changning's only son, Ren Kun, served as the chariot driver of the military department, and was in charge of the honor guard, post passing, and stable herding. Several temple priests had to walk around. He is a famous beautiful man in Yanjing, who loves men and is not close to women. The place where he was received naturally moved from the Qinglou to the Xiaoqi Lou. After coming and going, I got to know Wang Lang, a frequent visitor to Xiaoqilou......

"Since the tenth day of the lunar month, the two of them have disappeared!" Mrs. Zhou said while looking at Shi Niang's expression.

"So, Wang Lang is not at home at all...... In the second year of junior high school, of course, Shi Niang will not be able to go back to her parents' house......" Shi Niang was a little dumbfounded when she heard this. Thinking of Mrs. Jiang Gui's sudden return to Yanjing, "...... Could this be the reason for her to return to Yanjing? ”

Mrs. Zhou couldn't hear her whispering, but reminded her: "Princess Changning is ten years older than the emperor. When the emperor was a child, he was taken care of by Princess Changning. Only Princess Changning dared not to go to Cining Palace on the grounds of being unwell. ”

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly.

Even if Wang Lang's object is not Ren Kun, apart from the people of the Wang family and Shi Niang, who has a position to care about him......

In this way, Wang Lang has a favorite object, and he will naturally pay less attention to the family, and Shi Niang can be quiet for a few days.

She let out a long breath. I finally stayed up until I returned home after dinner, but I found that the yard was brightly lit and smiling.

A little maid had already said: "It's the fourth young master who is teaching the fifth young master to kick the shuttlecock!" ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look up at the stars in her head: "At this time? ”

The little maid smiled and said, "The fourth young master came over in the afternoon, and dinner is also used here." ”

"Didn't Mrs. Tai come back?" She hurried to the house, "Has Master Hou come back?" ”

The little maid replied, "Mrs. Tai has not come back yet." Master Hou went out with you and hasn't come back yet. ”

As she spoke, Eleven Niang had already entered the house.

"See? That's it...... "The maids and mothers-in-law in the room surrounded Brother Chen and Xu Sijie in the center, Brother Zhen was holding a bright chicken feather shuttlecock to demonstrate how to kick the shuttlecock, but Xu Sijie opposite him seemed a little absent-minded, looking around casually.

Suddenly, Xu Sijie's eyes lit up: "Mother! ”

He shouted and rushed towards Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang hugged Xu Sijie and asked Brother Chen's nurse: "Mrs. Tai knows that the fourth young master is here." ”

The nurse hurriedly bent her knees and saluted, and said respectfully: "I know." Miss Wei Zi knows. ”

Brother Chen has stepped forward to salute Eleven Niang: "Mother! ”

Eleven Niang nodded, saw that he was sweating on his forehead, and touched his back: "Did you sweat?" ”

Brother Zhen struggled for a moment and then quieted down: "No! ”

Eleven Niang hugged Xu Sijie and went to the inner room: "Look at you sweating profusely, come in and have a cup of tea." ”

Brother Zhen thought about it and followed Eleven Niang into the inner room.

There are maids serving tea on the kang, and some aunts come in to say hello, and Xu Lingyi is back.

Seeing that the room was lively, Brother Zhen and Xu Sijie sat next to Eleven Niang, and the other was lying in Eleven Niang's arms, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Came back so early!"

Everyone got up and saluted.

"Princess An Cheng is afraid of noise, so everyone will play cards and disperse."

Xu Lingyi nodded, went to the clean room to change clothes, and Qiao Lianfang followed.

Aunt Qin lowered her eyelids and looked like she didn't see it. Aunt Wen glanced at Eleven Niang.

The concubine is just a servant woman with a higher status than the maid, what is there to care about.

Eleven Niang remained silent and instructed the maid: "Let's see if Mrs. Tai is back?" ”

The little maid ran away.

Eleven Niang and Brother Zhen: "Didn't the three brothers accompany you?" What did they all do? ”

Brother Zhen pouted: "They won't let me follow." The gods are mysterious, shut up in the house and talk. ”

Small children usually like to play with children who are older than themselves.

Eleven Niang smiled: "So you came to play with Brother Jie." ”

He nodded and said dissatisfiedly: "I told the fifth brother to kick the shuttlecock, he always doesn't study hard." ”

Maybe Xu Sijie is not interested in this, right?

Eleven Niang smiled, and heard the man's low voice: "Learn how to kick the shuttlecock." Recite "Kindergarten Learning" well. After the first month, I will go to school in the family school. ”

She looked up and saw Xu Lingyi changing into a dark green brocade robe and walking out of the clean room, followed by Qiao Lianfang, who had a humble attitude.

Children also have self-esteem.

Shi Niang immediately smiled: "It's not too early, everyone is gone!" ”

Xu Lingyi still wanted to talk about Brother Zhen, but when she saw that Eleven Niang opened her mouth, she swallowed the words.

Shi Niang was afraid that he would still pull Brother Zhen to reprimand, and personally sent Brother Chen to the door.

came back and asked Xu Lingyi: "How are you doing these days?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Lingyi lazily snuggled on the big pillow, "Even if the imperial history impeachment, I can't say anything." I'm going to arrange for someone to write an excerpt tomorrowβ€”you know, the more people who impeach me, the more uneasy the emperor will be. ”

Eleven Niang understands this sentence.

No emperor likes ministers to form a party, Xu Lingyi's affairs can be big or small, if there are many, many people holding on to it, the emperor will have to consider the mystery of this.

"Isn't there any movement in the Ou family?" She muttered, "Such a good opportunity, the Ou family can't give it up!" If you really give up...... The family in that district really can't be underestimated. ”

"It's not that they gave up." Xu Lingyi said lightly, "In Yanjing, they can't just be like they are in Fujian." Seeing that Eleven Niang's mood was not high, she said, "What? Tired? ”

It took a moment for Eleven Niang to react - it turned out that he was asking himself. Then he smiled: "It's okay." It's just that the princesses have a lot of rules, and they are not as comfortable as they are in the Yongchang Hou family. Then he told him about Wang Lang, "...... I don't know if it's good or bad? Is it a blessing or a curse? ”

"Ren Kun and Wang Lang are together." Xu Lingyi was very surprised when she heard it, "Why did Ren Kun fall in love with Wang Lang." ”

Listening to Xu Lingyi's tone, his evaluation of Ren Kun is better than Wang Lang's. However, thinking that Wang Lang and Xu Lingkuan had a holiday, it is understandable that Xu Lingyi does not like him.

She sent Amber back to Bowstring Alley the next day. The first is to tell Luo Zhenxing about this matter, so as not to deepen the Luo family's misunderstanding of Shi Niang; The second is to take the opportunity to see the fifth aunt to see how she is doing.

The fifth aunt is fine, and the sixth aunt takes good care of her. And Luo Zhenxing, who received the news, was very angry. Regardless of the current New Year's Festival, let the big * milk go to the Wang family. The matter could not be concealed, the Wang family was very ashamed, Mrs. Jiang Gui not only came to the door to apologize in person, but the Wang family also sent a steward to send a gift worth 1,000 taels of silver. Luo Zhenxing was still angry, and the big * grandmother persuaded him: "Can't you still take Shi Niang back?" One sentence made Luo Zhenxing angry, and he could only urge the Wang family to find people back.

Such a thing worth talking about on the streets and alleys is because of the Xu Lingyi illegitimate child incident, like a small stone thrown into the lake, although there are ripples, but they are only ripples, and they will soon disappear. And Xu Lingyi's matter is getting more and more intense. From the loss of virtue to fornicating with the enemy, from the impeachment of the imperial history to the mutual accusation of courtiers. The Xu family, as the center of the storm, was slow to react to this crisis, responding disorderly and acting in a chaotic manner. The only good thing is that the brothers are quite harmonious - Xu Lingkuan has fought a few times with people over this matter.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside Yanjing City.

Eleven Niang was not affected too much. In addition to accompanying Mrs. Tai to attend several family banquets, she stayed in her yard and made needlework with Holly and Binju for the children.

Brother Zhen came to play with Xu Sijie every afternoon, but Xu Sijie would rather sit next to Eleven Niang and watch Eleven Niang's embroidery than play with Brother Chen. Brother Zhen couldn't help complaining: "...... The eldest brother and the second brother whispered, so that the third brother would not let me listen. ”

Seeing him pouting, Shi Niang looked very aggrieved, looking at the humble maids and mothers-in-law around him, and then looking at Xu Sijie, who was sitting next to him and would rather break his fingers than leave a step, she smiled and took the needle and thread: "Brother Zhen tell me how to kick the shuttlecock, right?" ”

"Really, really. Did my mother learn how to kick shuttlecock with me? Brother Zhen was very excited when he heard it.

Eleven Niang nodded. Afraid that others would see it and think it was unseemly, only the green cloud and red embroidery were left, so I sent a little maid to the door to guard, changed into a small jacket, and followed Brother Zhen to learn to kick the shuttlecock.

I don't know if I don't have this talent or I don't take it seriously with a child, Eleven Niang always can't learn the essentials, either kicking the shuttlecock away, or kicking the shuttlecock empty. Brother Zhen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Xu Sijie could do anything as long as he followed Shi Niang, and he helped her pick up the shuttlecock with a smile, and he was very happy.

"Otherwise, let's jump the white rope!"

Jumping white rope is skipping rope.

Eleven Niang thinks that this is more exercised than kicking shuttlecock, especially for bean sprouts like Brother Chen, who can achieve the purpose of fitness by gradually increasing the amount of movement, and it is relatively low-key and unobtrusive.

As she spoke, she looked at Brother Zhen with hope.

Brother Zhen immediately straightened his chest: "Okay, let's dance the white rope!" ”

In fact, he felt that jumping the white rope was very tiring. But her mother was clumsy and couldn't learn to kick the keys, so she wanted to switch to jumping white ropes. He always has to give her some face.

Xu Sijie doesn't care, as long as Eleven Niang thinks it's good, he feels good, and clapps his palms: "Jump the white rope, jump the white rope." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and rubbed his head, asked Manager Bai to make three white ropes according to their height, and then moved the Taishi chair in the hall away, vacated the middle space, and took a white rope with Brother Zhen and tried to jump.

Xu Sijie ran around with a rope.

Eleven Niang smiled and beckoned Xu Si to admonish: "Come, I'll tell you to jump Baisuo!" ”

Xu Sijie immediately ran over with a grin.

Eleven Niang asked him to stand in front of him, shouting "one, two, three", then throwing a circle of rope, stopping, and shouting "one, two, three" again, throwing the rope.

At the beginning, Xu Sijie was completely confused, hit his feet a few times, and gradually figured out Shi Niang's intentions, and knew to jump when Shi Niang shouted "three". And because of his young age, he couldn't stand steadily, swaying like a tumbler, and Brother Zhen watched and laughed from the side. Xu Sijie looked at Brother Chen, and accidentally stepped on Eleven Niang's foot. Eleven Niang was unexpected, with an "oops", the rope tripped on Xu Sijie's feet, and the two fell to the ground together.
