Chapter 293: Marriage

"No, don't dare, concubines don't dare." Mrs. Wu'an Hou knew that if she dared to say "yes", the Queen Mother was likely to directly ask someone to pull her out and behead her immediately. She still has something big to do, how can she just lose her life?

"Then the county lord of Yong'an, are you qualified to be your lady of Wu'an Houfu?"

Speaking of this, if she says that she is not qualified, Mrs. Wu'an Hou knows that she still has no good end.

Thinking so, she had to say: "The person that the Queen Mother likes will never be wrong." ”

"Hmph." The Queen Mother stared at her coldly, "You know each other." ”

Old Madam Wu Anhou's face changed instantly.

She has been in the capital all her life, and she only left the capital a year ago. Because of her grade, she also followed other princesses into the palace to greet the Queen Mother during the New Year's holidays. In the past, the Queen Mother was quite kind to her. But since the fact that she sent someone to hunt down Su Muxian was exposed, the Queen Mother did not fake her colors. repeatedly asked her to enter the palace to beat her, and if it weren't for the Queen Mother's insistence, Wu Anhou's title would belong to her youngest son, and it would never fall on Su Muxian's head, and her youngest son would not be demoted to Qiongzhou, let alone die in a foreign country at a young age. All this is a good thing done by this old woman in front of her!

There was a flash of resentment in her eyes.

The Queen Mother has experienced too many things in her life, and she looks at people at a good time. At this time, although the old lady of Wu'an Hou lowered her head, making it impossible to see the expression on her face, the resentment on her body still let the Queen Mother catch it.

She was immediately furious, slapped the table and said, "What's the matter, you still dare to resent the mourning family in your heart?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." The old lady of Wu Anhou hurriedly put away the resentful color, raised her head and looked at the queen mother in a panic, so that people could see the expression on her face clearly. "Queen Mother Shengming, how can the concubines have a grudge against the Queen Mother?"

"It's good if you don't have it." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, turned her head to Su Muxian and said, "Now that Yong'an is willing to marry you, the mourning family will marry you." Wu'an waits for Su Muxian, Yong'an County Lord Xia Jin, listen to the announcement. ”

Su Mu was overjoyed. glanced at Xia Jin. took the lead in kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”

Xia Jin also knelt down and whispered, "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

Princess Yan saw this. Hurriedly stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, things can't be done like this." Wu Anhou made a marriage with my family Jianing, and the day of marriage was booked. Even if Wu Anhou begged you to marry him, he hasn't officially married him yet, right? But the marriage of our two families is decided. Yongan is the lord of the county. Our Jianing is also the county lord, and Jianing's child is still your own granddaughter, the Queen Mother, your old man can't help outsiders let Jianing be commissioned. If she is divorced, where can she find a good family? ”

She didn't speak in front. That's because the Queen Mother only asked Mrs. Wu'an. But now she couldn't stop talking. Otherwise, the man that his daughter likes will marry someone else.

The most important thing is that the people sent by their Yan Wangfu to intercept and kill Xia Jin seem to have been caught. Even if this matter is pushed on An Yishan, her daughter will be ruined. But if you make a family appointment for her and Su Muxian. Then you can use Su Muxian's achievements this time to offset An Yishan. And with Su Muxian helping to speak in front of the palace, the mistakes of their Yan Wangfu this time will be gently erased. In the back, there is Su Muxian to help him. There are many more benefits.

So this son-in-law, she can't give it to Xia Jin no matter what.

Princess Yan's belly is this little abacus, how can the Queen Mother not know? Otherwise, she couldn't take the position of the queen in front of her as a foreshadowing, so as to achieve the goal of letting Xia Jin and Su Mu get married.

Of course, if Xia Jin agrees to be the queen, she and the emperor will not suffer. Xia Jin is so capable, and the Shao family is prosperous, all of them are generals, which will definitely give the emperor a great boost.

"Jianing still wants a good family affair?" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were full of coldness when she looked at Princess Yan, "Today, the emperor rewarded the three armies, and he hasn't had time to judge the sins of your Yan Palace, so you still have to think about how to save your life." ”

"Queen Mother...... "Princess Yan's grace and luxury just now were all gone, and her face was full of shock and panic.

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Pull it down." ”

The two sturdy grandmothers standing in the corner immediately stepped forward and pulled Princess Yan down.

Mrs. Wu Anhou was shocked.

The Queen Mother glanced at her coldly: "Do you particularly regret that you didn't bet on Brother Xian'er to marry Jianing today?" ”

Old Mrs. Wu Anhou was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Queen Mother blankly, not understanding what she meant. But after a breath, she finally reacted that the Queen Mother was sarcastic that she had failed to harm her own son.

Am I acting so obviously? She was startled, and her eyes fell on Su Muxian's face, wanting to see what kind of expression Su Muxian had when she heard this.

To her disappointment, her son, who grew up in the temple and was extremely simple after coming out, had no expression on his face at this time, as if he hadn't heard the Queen Mother's words.

She moved her gaze to Xia Jin's face again, but what she saw on Xia Jin's face was exactly the same expression as her son's.

She felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

The Queen Mother said again: "If you want to come back and live a good life, I won't say anything." But if I find out what kind of conspiracy you have to do against this young couple, I will definitely not spare you. ”

Wu An waited for a moment and slowly responded: "Yes." ”

Only then did the Queen Mother raise her hand to the attendant next to her.

The chamberlain is accustomed to helping the Queen Mother draft the decree, just now the Queen Mother made a temporary decision, he did not panic, as early as the Queen Mother and Princess Yan spoke, he wrote down the decree.

At this time, he took the Yi Zhi, walked in front of Xia Jin and Su Muxian, and preached loudly: "I heard that Xia Jin, the lord of Yong'an County, is generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance. Chin this. ”

Originally, Xia Jin was the county lord, and Su Muxian should be the county horse. No matter how high his title is, he is also a courtier, which is naturally inferior to the royal county lord. Therefore, this edict should be sent to Su Muxian and let him get ready. It's right to "marry" into the county lord's mansion. But Xia Jin and Su Muxian's situation is relatively special. Xia Jin, the county lord, was only given a title because of her great merit and because she was not an official, and the emperor didn't want to reward the Shao family too much because of her merits. This kind of fictitious royal title is as much as it wants, and it doesn't cost to pay for it, and it doesn't lose anything to give one to Xia Jin. But compared to the royal lord of the eight classics. After all, Xia Jin is a little less substantial. And Su Muxian is here. First, the grandparents and father were old friends with the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the Queen Mother had seen the child when she was born. I stayed in front of the court for the past two years. is also very pleasing to the Queen Mother, and her ability is also outstanding, because of these, the Queen Mother is not willing to let Su Muxian be wronged too much. I have to go to Xia Jin's county lord's mansion to be a son-in-law. Therefore, Xia Jin was not given the county lord's mansion before, and now he plans to give marriage. did not divide the two of them into subordinate priorities, but put the two side by side to save Su Muxian's face.

For this, Xia Jin is also very satisfied.

In her relationship with Su Muxian. In comparison, she is relatively strong. The mode of getting along with the husband and wife, as long as you know it. Outside, you might as well give men a little face and make them look better. She knew that those noblewomen in the capital had poisonous mouths. Hypocrisy. She doesn't like Su Muxian being belittled and said that he is a soft eater.

Under the ugly face of the old lady of Wu'an, the two of them thanked each other.

"Okay, I'm tired today, so you all go back." The Queen Mother waved her hand, with a tired expression on her face.

Several people saluted and exited the main hall.

Although Mrs. Wu'an Hou hated Su Muxian and Xia Jin, this was the palace, and there were eyeliners everywhere. Besides, Xia Jin is the newly sealed county lord, and she is embarrassed that Xia Jin is slapping the emperor and the queen mother in the face, so she didn't dare to make a mistake, and when she got out of the main hall, she walked down the steps with her head held high and walked directly towards the palace gate.

Su Muxian glanced at Xia Jin and confessed: "I'll look for you then." He also followed the old lady Wu'an and left quickly.

Seeing him chasing after his mother, Calamus ignored his own girl, and couldn't help but have a bad impression of Su Muxian, and whispered: "Girl......"

Xia Jin didn't speak, but deliberately slowed down his pace and let the mother and son of Wu'an Houfu go first. It wasn't until Mrs. Wu'an waited for the old lady to get into the chariot and Su Muxian left together behind the car that she went down to the pedestal.

Mama Wang was still waiting for her there at this time.

Seeing Xia Jin come down, she helped Xia Jin into the carriage, and asked Xia Jin with her eyes, Xia Jin smiled, shook her head and said, "The Queen Mother gave me and Wu Anhou a marriage." ”

Mama Wang was surprised.

Not what she had guessed? How could the concubine be uncharacteristic and show favor to Xia Jin?

However, there were palace attendants in front of the car and on the side of the car, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to salute Xia Jin and said, "Lord Yong'an, you go slowly." ”

The chariot slowly drove forward, leaving Mama Wang's figure behind - the chamberlains sent Xia Jin to the palace gate and returned, without the instructions of the Queen Mother, according to the rules, Mama Wang didn't have to send her out again.

Until he got into his own carriage, outside the car was a more reliable subordinate of the Shao family, Xia Jin saw that Calamus was still sullen, and couldn't help laughing: "That's his mother, no matter how bad the relationship between the two is, they can't be revealed in front of outsiders, so as not to be criticized." The son of unfilial piety is not a good reputation. ”

Calamus said: "The slave didn't mean this. I just feel that Hou Ye is not without feelings for his mother. Seeing that the old lady doesn't like you, I'm afraid that you will be wronged in the future. ”

Xia Jin smiled: "Am I the one who can let myself be wronged?" ”

Calamus thought for a moment and exhaled softly.

She cares about it, but she forgets how powerful her own girl is.

"Girl, do you want to go through the front gate or the south gate?"

This main gate is the main gate of the Shao family, which is relatively close to the main courtyard; The south gate was originally Xia Zhengqian was afraid that his daughter would be inconvenient to enter and exit, and did not want to move back to live, so in order to reassure his son and granddaughter, Mrs. Shao specially opened a gate for the third room in the south of the house. Usually, Shu's and Xia Jin's go in and out of this south gate, and they don't need to go to the main courtyard to ask the old lady or the housekeeper Guo's.

Xia Jin didn't think about it, and immediately said, "The main gate."

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the main gate, and there were already mothers-in-law and maids looking there, and when they saw Xia Jin getting off the carriage, some greeted them, and some rushed back to report to their masters.

A grandmother surnamed Xiao beside the Guo family stepped forward to help Xia Jin get out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "County Lord, you are back, the old lady has been talking for a long time, worried about what you have to do in the palace." ”

Xia Jin smiled and said, "There is Mama Lao." "I didn't say a word about the things in the palace.

Mama Xiao smiled into a flower: "The county lord should not say this, the old slave will never dare to be the word 'work'." ”

Xia Jin didn't speak again, stepped into the threshold, entered the courtyard gate, and walked directly towards the main courtyard. Along the way, the subordinates I met all stopped to salute and called them "county lords".

When Xia Jin arrived at the main courtyard and entered the hall, he saw that the old lady, aunt, and sister-in-law were all sitting neatly, and there was no one missing. I don't know if they haven't left all along, or if they just gathered.

"The county lord is back?" In addition to the elders, the sisters-in-law and sisters of other peers all stood up.

Old Madam Shao didn't have time to pay attention to this false courtesy, stared at Xia Jin and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother announce you going?" ”

Xia Jin didn't answer, but glanced around, and said to Old Madam Shao, "What about grandfather and uncle?" ”

"As soon as you left with your front feet, they were summoned into the palace by the emperor on your back legs."

Xia Jin nodded, and said, "I also asked my grandmother to gather my brothers in the side hall, and if I went out and wasn't at home, I would send someone to call them back." The people in the family also restrained them from going out. ”

Old Madam Shao's face changed several times, and she was about to speak, but Xia Jin preemptively said: "Grandmother, don't ask why, just do it." ”

The Shao family knew that Xia Jin's ability was extremely strong. This boy is not only a skilled doctor, but also extremely intelligent. Old lady Shao privately told his wife not to despise Xia Jin, let alone treat her as an ordinary granddaughter.

So when she heard Xia Jin's words, Mrs. Shao said to Guo: "Do what Sister Jin said." ”

Guo Shi responded and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

Old Madam Shao stood up and said to Xia Jin, "You come with me." Saying that, he entered the back room, and sent the people who followed him to wait out, leaving only her and Xia Jin in the house.

Only then did she ask with a solemn expression, "What happened?"

"Princess Yan was locked up by the Queen Mother." Xia Jin said.

Old Madam Shao's face suddenly changed greatly, and her body trembled slightly.

Although she is in good health, she has lived in a bitter cold land for more than 30 years, and there are always some hidden diseases on her body. Xia Jin was afraid that she would get sick if she was too excited, so she hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her back, and comforted her: "Since the Queen Mother dares to do this, it must be the emperor's side that is prepared." Grandfather, uncle, and second uncle were summoned, and they were also on guard, and they would be fine. ”

Old Madam Shao took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her emotions.

Palace chaos, she experienced it once when she was a child. That's really...... It's horrible. (To be continued)
