The next day, Xiao Zhongjing went to the former dynasty to report, he had to see the emperor and wait for the emperor's arrangement. After Xiao Ruyu had dinner in the house, she asked Ming Dong to come over, she wanted to inquire about the situation in the capital.

No one knows gossip better than the shopkeeper of a restaurant, seeing Ming Dong standing there with a simple and wooden face, Xiao Ruyu pursed her lips and chuckled, pretending to be honest with her sister, don't you know that her sister is the originator of pretending?

Ming Dong knew Xiao Ruyu's identity, Ming Chun had warned him a long time ago, and no one could mess with this eldest lady. This eldest lady is better at healing than him, and she doesn't blink an eye when she cuts meat. Than Mingqiu can kill people, cut people, like chopping watermelons, very violent, and the most important thing is that the master treats this young lady as an eyeball, in case she gets mad, it is much more serious than provoking the general.

With Ming Chun and Ding Fang's warnings, Ming Dong was very honest when facing Xiao Ruyu, pretending to be simple and loyal, hoping to leave a good impression on the eldest lady.

"Shopkeeper Ming, please take a seat." Xiao Ruyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw him standing there without squinting, looking like he was facing a great enemy, and asked Cai Wei to bring a stool and invite him to sit down.

Ming Dong sat down cautiously, drooped his eyelids slightly, and said respectfully: "I don't know what the eldest lady commands?" ”

"I can't talk about the order, please ask the shopkeeper to come over mainly to inquire about the situation in the capital." Xiao Ruyu took the teacup handed over by Cai Wei and took a sip slightly, it was a good tea leaf, and the fragrance of tea wafted in the room.

Mingdong's nostrils moved slightly, this is a good Biluochun, not even the palace is much, the general should have been rewarded, the number is definitely not much, I didn't expect to give it to this young lady, it seems that the master really treats this young lady as his own daughter, Ming Chun They didn't lie about it.

"What the eldest lady wants to know, Ming must know everything."

"Okay, refreshing, Cai Wei, hurry up and show the Ming shopkeeper tea, I want to have a good chat with the Ming shopkeeper." Xiao Ruyu motioned for Cai Wei to make tea, and she moved the chair closer to Mingdong, startling Mingdong, and hurriedly retreated her body and sat down more carefully.

"I wonder what the Wise Controversy is?" Xiao Ruyu hadn't heard this word once, she had always been curious, and now that she was in the capital, she should be able to answer it next winter.

"The battle between the King and the King of Wisdom refers to the struggle between the King of England and the King of Wisdom. King Ying is the fourth son of the current emperor, King Rui, who is the current crown prince. When the King of England and King Rui competed for the position of the crown prince, King Rui was born of the mother of the main palace, with an extraordinary identity and outstanding ability, and the emperor liked the lineage and did not like the concubine line, and was more inclined to King Rui. King Ying is the son of Concubine Mei, who once fought on the battlefield and made great achievements, and has a very good reputation among the people, and the people are more inclined to him as the prince. At that time, there were internal and external troubles, and the emperor was not disobedient to the will of the people for a while, so he kept dragging on and did not establish a prince. Later, for some reason, the British king's subordinates exposed the British king's corruption and assassination, although there was no tangible evidence, but the British king was stripped of real power and became an idle prince, and his group of loyal subordinates died and were exiled. Speaking of this, Ming Dong sighed: "The King of England is actually more popular with the people than the King of Rui." But when the emperor is the emperor, sometimes the most disregarded thing is the people's will. ”

"Dog eats dog hair." Xiao Ruyu muttered, feeling that it was not interesting. She has never seen the crown prince, I don't know how this person is, but she has seen the prince of England, and she feels that the person has an outstanding demeanor, gentle and elegant, with good connotation and cultivation, and thinks that the king of England should be a good person, otherwise how can there be such an excellent son?

"What's the matter with the legs of the British king? Is it innate? This has always been a question that has been haunting Xiao Ruyu's heart, it is a great pity that such a clean and elegant person can't walk.

"You're talking about the Pure Prince? Alas, speaking of which, it is impossible not to mention the Elite controversy. This pure son, who was the best person in the capital back then, was not only handsome and elegant, but also valuable and courteous, gentle and elegant. At the beginning, the ladies of each family were beautiful, who did not aim to marry a son. After the defeat of the British king, the emperor did not blame a few British princes and princes, and was very tolerant of them. The prince of Qing Jue is the best of the three sons of the British king, from the age of fifteen, he has no two in his elegance and crowns the capital. It's a pity that seven or eight years ago, the eldest son of the prince died of illness, there is evidence that it was done by the king of England, the prince must kill the king of England to avenge the eldest son, and the son of the prince shouted for his father. It's a pity, such an excellent son. ”

"How old is this pure son? Are you married? Xiao Ruyu is very curious, even if this son is not good at his work, he is so handsome and extraordinary, he can't imagine his demeanor when he was the champion of the capital, what kind of woman can match him.

"The prince is twenty and eight, there were many confidants back then, the princess is the new daughter of Fang Xuexuan, the secretary of the ministry, I heard that they are in love with the husband and wife, but unfortunately there have been no children. After the accident of the king of England, the prince of Qingjue had another accident, and the princess couldn't stand the blow and ended up depressed. ”

"It turns out that he was married." Xiao Ruyu felt so sorry that the daughter-in-law of the pure son was dead, and she couldn't see her demeanor.

"The prince of Qingjue also has a side concubine and three concubines, I heard that they are all stunning beauties, but unfortunately they have no children." Next winter added on the side.

Xiao Ruyu frowned, "He married so many people?" "How do you feel that the image of the fairy fell into the dirt, it's better not to know.

"The eldest lady laughed, which powerful or rich person in the capital is not a person with three wives and four concubines, and the son of the Qing Dynasty is also a human being, how can it be an exception?" It seems that the eldest lady has a good impression of this pure son, and he has to say good things for him.

"This is already good, otherwise why would so many ladies rush to marry him, even if they are willing to be concubines."

"How do I feel like my idol is broken?" Xiao Ruyu muttered in a low voice. The most unbearable thing is that the man has three wives and four concubines, half-heartedly, if Han Yixuan dares to have this idea, she will definitely correct him, in case it can't be straightened, then I'm sorry, I have to say goodbye.

remembers that she once said this very seriously, and Han Yixuan also called her a small vinegar jar. If being called a small vinegar jar can put an end to Han Yixuan's idea of taking a concubine, then she will be this small vinegar jar, even if it is a vinegar jar, it doesn't matter.

She didn't understand what these ancient men thought, even if they were unfaithful to their marriage, they even asked women to start from the beginning, even if they thought about other men. It seems that men in ancient times were not lightly ill. Fortunately, Han Yixuan seems to be normal at present, and his father-in-law is not bad, so the others are too lazy to care.

"Is it convenient to reveal the situation of the stepfather?" Xiao Ruyu's eyes rolled and asked with a smile.

"This ,......" Ming Dong's eyes fluttered, looking very embarrassed, how could he discuss the master's affairs behind his back.

"Then tell me, why doesn't my stepfather have a stepmother until now. You tell me the truth, maybe I'll help you find one later. Xiao Ruyu smiled and seduced.

"The master's affairs, we are not very clear about our subordinates, it seems that the master was saved by a girl when he was young, and the girl and the master agreed for life, and then the two were separated and he didn't find the girl, and the master swore that he would not marry the girl, and the subordinates knew that." When he said this, Ming Dong's heart was hanging, and he didn't know if it was right to tell the eldest lady like this. Master, it's not that I'm going to betray you, this eldest lady doesn't seem to be a fool, he has to reveal a little, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it.

"What did they say about me next spring? Look at you. Xiao Ruyu rolled her eyes helplessly, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about my father-in-law." You tell me, do you know Han Yixuan? ”

"Han Yixuan?" Ming Dong was stunned for a moment, and felt that the eldest lady's topic jumped a little, "Are you asking about Han Wenxi, the second son of the Wing King?" ”

"Yes, that's him." Xiao Ruyu nodded, almost forgetting that Han Yixuan's real name was Han Wenxi. Her eyes were staring at Ming Dong with a deep curiosity in her eyes at this moment, "How much do you know about him?" Let's talk about it. ”

"Ao, there is nothing to hide about Yixuan's son. He is the second son of Yiwangfu, and his aunt, that is, his own mother is the daughter of the wealthy businessman Yuan Zhixiang, but unfortunately Mr. Yuan has long since died, and in order to avoid the covetousness of many disciples, she can only stoop to be a concubine. This Yixuan son has a very good reputation in the capital, not only is he handsome and extraordinary, but he is also humble and polite, and he has never seen him lose his temper. His eldest brother has provoked him many times, and it is said that he has occupied his childhood sweetheart's cousin, and he has never been angry. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ruyu stood up at once, "What a childhood sweetheart, you explain it to me clearly." She had already gritted her teeth secretly, okay, Han Yixuan, this bastard, he didn't say such an important thing, he actually had a cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, and he felt a little depressed, he never said anything about this cousin, did he never forget him? Thinking of this, she was even more angry.

Although Ming Dong didn't know why she was so angry, and her question was a little abrupt, he still answered honestly: "His cousin's name is Qin Ruyue, and he grew up with Yixuan Gongzi in Yiwangfu since he was a child. It's a pity that before he was eighteen years old, he was made a side concubine by the prince of Yiwang, and I heard that the prince of Yixuan ran away because of this incident and only came back a few months ago. Alas, it's a pity, I thought that the capital would add a myth of talented and beautiful women. ”

"What a talented and beautiful woman, don't hug it if it's not a pipa." Xiao Ruyu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, of course, it can also be called the fire of jealousy. Thinking about something inappropriate, he slowly sat down and asked, "How does that Qin Ruyue look?" "Women have always cared first about the looks of their rivals, and then about anything else. She was quite sensible, and she was not dazzled by this childhood sweetheart and talented beauty, and beat Han Yixuan to death at once, and wanted to inquire slowly before speaking.

"I heard that it is very beautiful, sinking fish and geese, and it is not an exaggeration to be ashamed of flowers in the closed moon." Seeing that the eldest lady's face in front of him was not good-looking, he hurriedly added: "It's definitely not as good as the eldest lady." ”

Xiao Ruyu was amused by him, "Okay, don't compliment me." Don't you know what I look like? "What kind of sinking fish and geese are shy of the moon, if you really want to look like this, you must not scare people to death, it is pure nonsense. But it should be very beautiful, as far as Han Yixuan's eyes are concerned, if he is not beautiful, he probably won't see it in his eyes. At the beginning, Yun Niang and Xiuhe were good, but he didn't even glance at others.

"Is there any recent news from Han Yixuan?" Xiao Ruyu asked, in fact, she was a little afraid, afraid that if she heard some ambiguous gossip from Han Yixuan and his cousin, then she didn't know how to face Han Yixuan.

"I heard that Yixuan Gongzi was just beaten." How does Ming Dong feel that the eldest lady is always revolving around this Yixuan son, is she interested in him? This is troublesome, the master belongs to the British king's faction, and the prince of Yixuan must be on the side of the Wing King, if the two become husband and wife, if the two parties fight, which side should the eldest lady help? To be honest, Ming Dong thinks too much.
