Chapter 17 The Hou Mansion Rises Again

Emperor Xiao'an looked at his nephew, and thought sourly in his heart, how could such a good young man not be my son, looking at this pampered and humiliated face, the scenery and the moon, and the light and breezy posture, how much like himself back then.

Then I hated and thought, now that the clouds are light and the wind is light, sooner or later you will ask for me, and then I will see how your face does not change, and I feel a lot better when I think of this, but as soon as my mood improves, I hear the words of the scenery again.

"The army has just returned to Beijing and still has a lot of military affairs to deal with, and I asked the imperial uncle to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to handle the reception of the envoys for peace talks." Xiao Heng was full of anger and said unhurriedly, with a kind of momentum in his words.

Emperor Xiao'an was stuck in his throat in one breath, and this stinky boy couldn't make himself happy once.

As soon as he was about to speak, he heard the mellow voice of the person under him sound, "If there is nothing else, the minister will retire first." ”

Xiao Heng said that he didn't wait for Emperor Xiao'an to answer, so he got up and walked out of the hall.

Behind him, Emperor Xiao'an didn't take a breath, his face was red, Xu An beside him hurriedly handed over the tea when he saw this, Emperor Xiao'an took a sip of tea, suppressed the feeling of imbalance in his heart, and sighed again, why is my son not so imposing.

Prince Jin's Mansion Mozhuxuan.

In the study, Xiao Heng was processing the official documents, and the little guy outside the door came to report, "Lord Shizi, Yong'an is waiting to see you outside the house." ”

Xiao Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Please come in and bring people to the main hall to wait." ”

The little guy answered yes and went straight to the door.

In the outer courtyard, the little maid took Hou Ye through the corridor, and Hou Ye swept the scenery in the palace with his residual light, especially the big trees and other places where people can be hidden, it is said that there are secret guards hidden in every corner of Prince Jin's mansion, and I don't know where to hide?

It is said that when he seized the throne, although Prince Jin was proficient in everything and martial arts, but because his maternal grandfather's family was only the governor of Jiangzhou, and his biological mother died when he was a child, Prince Jin did not have the intention of seizing the heir, did not win over the courtiers, nor did he participate in any political party, and stated that no matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, he would do his best to assist.

It is also for this reason that after the current emperor ascended the throne, he relied on Prince Jin very much, and Prince Jin's Mansion had nearly fifty percent of Daxuan's troops, and Prince Jin's Mansion had also become a confidential place for Daxuan.

The little servant led the Hou Ye to Mozhuxuan, served tea, and then retreated.

After a long time, Lin Jun drank cup after cup of tea in the main hall, and finally, he saw a man's beautiful figure stepping in, and the temperature in the hall dropped a few points in an instant, and Lin Jun got up and saluted tremblingly.

Xiao Heng looked at Lin Jun carefully, and said strangely in his heart, the deputy general Lin Jian and Yong'an Hou are five points similar, and Lin Jian and Lin Qingyan are three points similar, but looking at the appearance of Lin Jun and Lin Qingyan, if he is not familiar with Lin Jian's appearance, he will never think that Lin Qingyan and Lin Jun are father and daughter.

Yong'an Hou Lin Jun saw that Xiao Heng was distracted for a moment, coughed lightly, and Xiao Heng replied slightly: "Master Hou doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." The words fell and sat down at the top position, and Yong'an Hou also sat down at the bottom according to his words.

Just when Yong'an Hou was still secretly thinking about how to speak, Xiao Heng took the lead in speaking: "I don't know what happened to Master Hou? ”

Under the pressure of Xiao Heng's powerful aura, Yong'an Hou said in a slightly trembling voice: "It is really helpless for the lower official to take the liberty to come to the door, there has been no news of the dog since the army returned to Beijing, rumors have spread in the streets and alleys, the lower official and the old mother at home are very worried, and ask the prince to inform the lower official of the truth." ”

After saying that, he wanted to get up and salute again, Xiao Heng raised his hand slightly, signaled Hou Ye to be calm and not impatient, and said: "Thanks to Vice General Lin for coming to the rescue, this son is grateful, please rest assured that in time, Vice General Lin will definitely come back safely." ”

Hou Ye was about to open his mouth to ask carefully, but Xiao Heng raised his hand slightly to stop it, and then said: "Now that the assassin's situation is unknown, Deputy General Lin's whereabouts should not be exposed." ”

Xiao Heng's words fell, and when the Hou Ye saw that he couldn't ask anything else, he got up and said goodbye, "The prince is busy with official business, so the lower officials will no longer bother." ”

Xiao Heng's deep eyes looked at Hou Ye's back, and the corners of his mouth squirmed as if he had something to ask, but in the end he didn't ask.

Walking to the door of the main hall, Hou Ye suddenly turned around and asked: "There is still one thing in the lower official, please solve the confusion of the prince, the little girl Qingyan went to look for the dog, so far there is no news, I don't know the prince... Seeing Xiao Heng's changed face, Hou Ye swallowed the words in his throat alive, not daring to ask again.

After a long time, seeing that the person above still did not answer, Hou Ye didn't know what to do, cold sweat flowed, and after a while, Xiao Heng's voice was like a heavenly sound: "Let the daughter have no worries about her life, now that she has Chu Zishuo of the Zhennan General's Mansion to take care of her, she will return to Beijing in a few days." ”

Hou Ye relieved his heart a little, wiped his sweat and left.

Yong'an Hou Mansion, in Songtao Garden.

A majestic male voice sounded, "Mother, please rest assured, Jian'er and Yan'er will return home safely." "It was Hou Ye Lin Jun who spoke.

The old lady said, "When will they come back?" ”

Hou Ye was embarrassed and said: "Prince Jin didn't say it, but he promised that the two children were safe and sound. At this point, the old lady's heart that has been hanging these days has been calmed down a little, and she waved her hand to signal the Hou Ye to leave.

However, there will always be people who are bad for the scenery.

"Grandmother, after the third sister comes back, you must punish her heavily, she went out of the house without permission, did not abide by the family rules, and made your grandmother angry, this time you must not be tolerated, lest the third sister commit it again in the future." The person who spoke didn't need to guess to know that it was Lin Qingxin.

Lin Qingxin wore a pale pink dress today, and the steps on her head swayed slightly between words, but such a beautiful picture was ruined by the disgust on her face.

The old lady frowned slightly, this fifth granddaughter said these things in front of her every day, saying that she was restless all day long, and she was too annoyed to chatter, thinking about this, she said: "Grandmother will deal with this matter, Xin'er still has to put her mind on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting female red." ”

Seeing that Lin Qingxin wanted to speak again, the old lady raised her hand slightly to stop her: "Xin'er, you behaved well during the palace banquet, and in a few days, the envoys from the south will enter Beijing, and you will prepare well in the Pujia Garden these days, and you will not be used to greet your grandmother." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was almost the same as grounding, and Lin Qingxin was even more unconvinced.

Seeing this, the eldest lady was very worried, and said: "Mother, what you said is that Yan'er is really out of shape, and she is alone, if she does something that damages the reputation of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, it will not be her who will lose face." ”

The old lady's brows tightened when the words fell, the reputation of the Yong'an Hou Mansion was the old lady's death hole, and the eldest lady pinched it accurately.

The old lady frowned and pondered, before a foreign man hugged Qingyan in public, now nearly a month has passed, and there is still no one to come to the door to propose, this time Qingyan is alone, if something happens again, the reputation of the Houfu girl may be affected.

The more the old lady thought about it, the more irritated she became, and waved her hand to make everyone stand back.

Seeing that the old lady's face was getting more and more ugly, the eldest lady knew that it was most effective to pinch the old lady's death hole, so she immediately gave Lin Qingxin and Lin Qingyun a look and retreated together.
