Chapter 291: Xuan Enters the Palace
"Okay, you go back and tell him, I know." Xia Jin said.
Ah Yan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Xia Jin.
His grandfather likes Miss Xia and chased her to the border, he knows it. But this time, the old lady betrothed to the grandfather, and even the date of marriage was discussed. At this time, he ran to the Shao family to tell Miss Xia that the Hou Ye was engaged, and the people of the Shao family ate his heart, if Miss Xia cried and hanged herself, it was not something that an honest person like him could handle.
So since he entered the door, he has been carrying this heart, for fear of making the Shao family angry. With the current Shenglong of the county lord of Yong'an, killing him a little minion is really nothing, it is estimated that his own Hou Ye doesn't even dare to say the words of reproach, who told them that Wu'an Houfu is not authentic?
But I don't want to, Miss Xia...... Oh no, it's the county lord of Yong'an, it's so calm!
He was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know whether to retire or say something more.
And Shu, who was sitting next to him, only felt a pain in his heart and liver at this time. How can this extremely powerful daughter of her own family behave like a little sheep, and there is still a faint smile on her face, as if she had just heard some light and interesting topic, didn't she go to the border pass, tired and stupid?
Seeing that Ah Yan was stunned and didn't know how to leave, Xia Jin thought about it and asked again: "Your old lady is back, what changes have there been in the personnel of the house?" Or is Su Qin a housekeeper? ”
She knew that this Su Qin did not agree with the murder of the old lady of Wu'an Hou at the beginning, and was demoted to guard the grave, and later after Su Muxian returned to Beijing, he found him back and became the head of the Hou Mansion. Now that the old lady Wu'an is back, and it happens that Su Muxian is not at home, the old witch still doesn't know what to do with Su Qin. If you are killed, you will be gone. That would be a shame. He can be regarded as the first right-hand man under Su Muxian, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a relative.
"Steward Su made a mistake, and was punished by the old lady to guard the grave of the old lady." Ah Yan said.
Xia Jin nodded. Fortunately, Su Qin was not killed, and after Su Muxian came back, he could be reactivated.
"Alright, it's okay, you can go back." She said.
Ah Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed and withdrew. Out of the hospital, it is estimated that Shu Shi and Xia Jin can't see it. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Shu Shi didn't know what to say about his daughter, and showed an angry expression of hatred to his baby daughter: "You just let him go?" He chased you to the border and made a fuss about ruining your reputation. Turning around and getting engaged to someone else, why aren't you annoyed at all? ”
Xia Jin saw his mother, who had always been gentle like water, but at this time he was extremely angry, and his heart was warm and funny. With big black eyes, he winked at her innocently: "Mother." Do you want to see me shed tears for him? ”
Shu Shi was stunned for a moment, and the annoyed expression on his face quickly dissipated, replaced by an expression of regret. She walked up to her and took Xia Jin into her arms. patted her on the back and said, "Child, if you feel sad, don't bear it." If you want to cry, just cry in your mother's arms, no one will laugh at you. ”
Xia Jin blinked. I was speechless for a while.
"Ahem......" She coughed lightly, broke her body out of Shu's embrace, and said helplessly, "Mother, I'm really fine." Su Muxian's entanglement with his mother, I think you have heard of it. Mrs. Wu Anhou just hoped that her eldest son would have a bad time, so she made this move. Su Muxian didn't fail me, what am I sad about? ”
"However, even if it wasn't Su Houye's nod, his mother was engaged to him, and it was with Yan Wangfu, could he still quit the marriage? Don't tell your mother that you want to go to Wu'an Houfu to be a concubine. ”
Xia Jin couldn't cry or laugh again.
Can her mother's brain hole not be so big? Giving people concubines? Whether it's in this life or the next, isn't it her skill point?
"To be a concubine? Mother, you really think too much. She handed Shu Shi a reassuring expression, "He told me to rest assured that this matter will be dealt with, then I'll wait." If he can't handle it well, he will marry the county lord of Jianing, and I will find a young talent to marry. Three-legged toads in the world are not easy to find, and there are many two-legged men. Do I have to hang myself on his crooked-neck tree? ”
Shu Shi couldn't help laughing at these words, and patted Xia Jin: "You kid, you dare to say anything!" But when she said this, she was relieved.
Her daughter is open-minded and has nothing to look at, which is really gratifying.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to stew the tonic, let's drink it quickly." She lovingly smoothed Shun Xiajin's black and shiny hair, and asked someone to bring her carefully stewed tonic.
But before this love stew was served, a mother-in-law ran in outside, and before she entered the door, she shouted all the way: "Girl, girl, someone came from the palace, saying that it was the Queen Mother who announced that you had entered the palace." ”
Xia Jin and Shu Shi were stunned.
She won a reward, and she really wanted to enter the palace to thank her. But today, the emperor rewarded the three armies, she was not out of the pavilion of the girl's house, in the special period to stay in the border pass of the hundreds of thousands of rough men in the barracks, but now back to Beijing, the queen mother and the emperor for her reputation, they are ready to let her into the palace tomorrow, in the queen mother's Ningshou Palace to entertain her, in order to reward her at the border for the country's contributions. These situations, the chamberlains who came to announce the decree just now asked Shao Hengding to tell her. But this time, the chamberlain has just returned to the palace, why did she enter the palace again?
But there is no way to refuse the summons in the palace. Either way, she had to go.
Shu Shi hurriedly got up and urged: "Quickly take the county lord's clothes just given and change them for the girl." "Then call Poria in," Go and ask Calamus to come back and accompany the girl into the palace. ”
Although Hexiang and Juxiang were rewarded by Mrs. Shao, the two of them just came, and their temperament was not clear. At this time, you have to go to the palace, in case of accidents, it is safer to ask the calamus to follow.
If it were normal times, the weak Shu would take into account the old lady's face and the mood of Hexiang and Juxiang, and he would take care of them. But now that it's such a big thing, she doesn't dare to be careless, so she naturally chooses calamus with a stable temperament and good ability.
Poria agreed, lifted her skirt and ran out quickly.
Hexiang and Juxiang didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and followed Xia Jin back to her house with their hands and feet, and put on Xia Jin's clothes from the county lord. When Calamus came back, she quickly changed into a new set of clothes and followed Xia Jin into the carriage in the palace. Go to the Imperial Palace.
It was only then that Calamus had time to ask Xia Jin: "Girl, what are we going to do in the palace?" ”
Xia Jin told Calamus all the news he had just gotten, and said, "I guess it's the Lord Hou who stabbed the family affairs in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked me about the situation." ”
Calamus didn't expect that so many things had happened before she left Xia Jin's side for two hours. I couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Xia Jin was silent for a while. There was no sound.
She has always been very determined, but she doesn't know what to do at this time.
wanted to ask to marry her, but Su Muxian reported to the Queen Mother before going to the border gate. King Yan is a suspect in rebellion. She and Su Muxian caught two people near Devil City, even if they couldn't testify against King Yan and pulled out the county lord of Jianing, the county lord of Jianing should not think about it. Don't even want to marry Su Muxian smoothly. So if Su Muxian made trouble in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother called someone to come to her. It will definitely make her stand right away. If she is willing to marry Su Muxian, the Queen Mother will give them a marriage immediately.
But did she really want to agree to this family affair without figuring out the relationship between Su Muxian and Mrs. Wu Anhou? If she doesn't agree, she won't be able to marry Su Muxian again in the future, right? If you don't have a good time, you can get a divorce. She could have gambled. But the ancient wealthy family could not be separated casually. Even if she doesn't want to be embarrassed, Xia Zhengqian, Shu Shi and Xia Qi are still living in the capital. How could she not take into account their feelings?
What to do, what to do?
She looked at the street scene that flashed past the curtains, distraught.
Calamus saw that her girl's face showed a confusion that she had never seen before. Even more worried. She couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage to find Mrs. Shao and Mrs. Xuanpinghou, and let them help come up with an idea, but looking at the neat and solemn princess honor guard outside the carriage, and the palace attendants who rode a horse and led the way in front of the honor guard, this unrealistic idea was dispelled again.
In the past, Xia Jin's master and servant felt that Shao Mansion was quite far away from the palace, but only then did they realize that the two were so close, and they were silent for a while, and the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
"Girl." Seeing Xia Jin stand up, Calamus had to lower her voice and say the immature method she had come up with with all the time she racked her brains, "If the Queen Mother wants you to give you an accurate word, you will pretend to be sick on the spot and faint." When the slave and maid arrived, they said that you had come to a small day, and you fainted after a tiring journey. ”
Xia Jin couldn't help laughing, his depressed mood was swept away, and he stretched out his finger to point on the forehead of the calamus: "What kind of bad idea is this?" Do you know that there is a crime called deception? ”
"Don't laugh, girl, I know there's another word called expediency." Calamus couldn't help but hurry.
Xia Jin glanced at her: "You are quite educated." Saying that, he sighed, "Calamus, although this can drag things out, people's feelings are the most fragile." The Queen Mother asked me, if I hesitate a little, there will be cracks in the relationship between me and Su Houye. Unless I don't marry, as long as I still want to marry him, I can't let him be disappointed in me even the slightest. People, not always be able to weigh the pros and cons, especially when it comes to feelings. ”
"Master Hou, he should be able to understand you, after all, is this related to the happiness of a lifetime?" Calamus muttered.
Xia Jin glanced at her: "If you replace him with me and me with him today, and switch each other's situations, do you still think so?" ”
Calamus blinked, thinking that she didn't speak.
If his own girl encounters a hurdle that he can't get over, he needs to say whether he wants to marry her or not, but for the sake of his own suspicion, he pretends to be crazy and stupid and refuses to give an accurate word, his own girl will be very cold, and he is not willing to marry him again, right?
Thinking like this, she knew that Xia Jin had made up her mind, so she had to sigh and follow Xia Jin out of the carriage.
Her girl, why is the road to marriage so unsmooth?
"County master, please come with the minions." The chamberlain was already waiting in front of the carriage, and when he saw Xia Jin getting off the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him and diligently led the way in front.
In the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Xia Jin came over once. But it was in the middle of the night when the lights were dark. This time, she was full of thoughts, and she was not interested in looking at the gorgeous and majestic gate of the palace, so she followed the chamberlain directly into the side gate of the palace.
In the foyer, a woman in her forties was already waiting. This woman Xia Jin knew that it was Mama Wang who brought her from Linjiang to the capital that time.
Seeing Xia Jin, Mama Wang came out of the foyer, came over and saluted, and said with a smile: "County lord, do you remember the old slave?" ”
"Mama Wang, long time no see."
Seeing that Xia Jin still remembered her surname, Mama Wang was very happy: "I didn't expect that after such a long time, the county lord could still remember the old slave." He gestured again, "The county lord, please." ”
Since the person who came to pick him up was an acquaintance, this matter was easy to do. Xia Jin chatted with Mama Wang for a few words, and then tactfully asked her about the Queen Mother's intention to announce her entry into the palace.
Mama Wang is also interested in befriending this new county lord. Although she is somewhat decent in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is old and may die when. At that time, Mama Wang will definitely have to be released from the palace. She entered the palace when she was a child, her parents died, and her brother and sister-in-law at home were unreliable, so when the time came, she took her money and drove her out, and she had no place to cry.
The best way is to find a suitable noble family and go to that house to be a nurturing grandmother.
And Xia Jin's personality and ability, she is very optimistic, so she naturally deliberately makes friends. So even if Xia Jin doesn't ask, she will find a topic to pull and tell Xia Jin to listen.
"Old lady Wu'an is back, I think the county lord already knows about this, right? She didn't ask Wu Anhou's opinion, so she asked the county lord of Jianing in Yanwang's mansion to marry. Hou Ye was not happy, and was begging her old man in front of the Queen Mother to give you and him a marriage. The Queen Mother announced that you came for this matter. ”
When Calamus heard this, she couldn't help but glance at her girl in admiration.
Everything was as Xia Jin expected.
"Thank you Mama Wang for mentioning it." Xia Jin took her hand affectionately, and inadvertently stuffed a valuable jade pendant into Mama Wang's hand.
"Oh, what is the county lord doing? People say that after ten years of repair, they have to cross the same boat, and the old slave has been walking with the county lord for a few days, which shows that there is fate. The old slave didn't do anything for the county lord, where did he dare to be rewarded by the county lord? "Mama Wang has a higher status than the little chamberlain who went to the Shao family to convey the message, in order to facilitate talking to Xia Jin, she has already sent the little chamberlain away, and she has no scruples about speaking at this time.
"It's because of our fate that you don't have to be polite." Xia Jin smiled, "These things are nothing, how can I get Mama Wang to take care of me?" ”
"Then the old slave thanked the county lord for his generous gift. What is the use of the old slave in the future, the county lord just spoke. Although the old slave has little ability, he still has a little thin face in front of the Queen Mother, and it is still enough to say a few good words. Mama Wang smiled. (To be continued)
