"Unscathed? If I hadn't braved the snow last night to go up the mountain, the family of three would have died in the forest. Zhou Huaixuan said without a little emotion, "For you, it's just a test." They can't get through, it's because of their poor fortune and weak life. But for the Sheng family, all hope was ruined. You have been friends with Old Man Sheng for many years, and Old Man Sheng and Master Sheng have been very kind to me, how can you be so big and watch them in danger? ”

Old Man Zhou smiled, stroked his beard slowly, and said, "So what? Those who can pass my test will not only be blessed with great fortune, but also with great fate. You should be glad that the grand girl is not only blessed with great fortune, but also with a great life......"

Zhou Huaixuan was silent for a long time, frowned slightly and said, "Well, you made her suffer so much, and passed your test, but what reward is there?" ”

"Reward?" Old Man Zhou was stunned, "I saved their family!" And reward her?! Did I hear me right?! ”

"I saved them, not you. These are two different things and cannot be confused. Zhou Huaixuan corrected Old Man Zhou's statement.

"You are my grandson, and what you save is what our god will save, that is, I will save. How? Don't you agree? Old Man Zhou said slyly, with a smile on his face that the "treacherous plan" had succeeded.

"Because of your test, she and the Duchess of Sheng Guo, as well as the two-year-old little wolfberry, have suffered a lot in the mountains, and if I hadn't arrived, they would have indeed died in the wolf's belly. So, after causing such a big disaster, you don't reward her, aren't you afraid that your close friend Old Man Sheng will come to talk to you at night? Zhou Huaixuan was not led by the nose by Old Man Zhou, and continued.

Old Man Zhou was speechless, his eyes dodged and avoided Zhou Huaixuan's fixed gaze. Sit back at the back of the bookcase. Pretending to flip through the book of war. Said sarcastically: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous...... Tong Yan Wuji...... What do children say, don't understand ......?"

"Don't understand?" Zhou Huaixuan tilted his head, "Then I'll say something you understand." ――What's going on with the grand girl's prayer post? With the friendship between the Zhou family and the Sheng family, why did you turn her away? Someone has taken her to the test, you don't know it, do you? ”

"What prayer? Every day I have a big basket of prayer posts here, and whoever is impatient to read every one. Old Man Zhou laughed and said, "Maybe I missed it because I was sleepy." You know, my grandfather is old. Maybe one day you will fall asleep and won't wake up! Shut up and don't mention the people in the inner courtyard who really "lost" Sheng Siyan's worship post.

Zhou Huaixuan looked at the old man Zhou who was "relying on the old and selling the old", and shook his head, "Grandfather, you and the mud are useless. Just because I'm too lazy to take care of some things doesn't mean I don't understand what's going on. I'm sorry if their hands reach out to my people again, I'm sorry, I'm annoyed that I don't recognize my six relatives, and I'm the best at chopping hands. He said. He turned around and walked away.

Old Man Zhou raised his head from the book of war and quietly looked at Zhou Huaixuan's departing back. It was so tall and broad, but with a hint of depression, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

When the ancestors and grandsons met this time, no one even mentioned that Marquis Changyuan was chopped off by Zhou Huaixuan......

One of Old Man Zhou's stewards came in from outside and asked tremblingly, "Master, what do you mean by the eldest son?" ”

"What do you mean?" Old Man Zhou snorted lightly, "You ask me?" I'm going to ask you again......"

The steward turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down for Old Man Zhou, kowtowed: "Old man, old man, the little one is also for the good of the Divine General's Mansion...... The affairs of the Sheng family, we can't get into trouble! ”

"Nonsense! Lao Tzu wants you to preach! Old Man Zhou threw the military book to the ground, leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, stroked his cheeks from top to bottom with his hands a little tiredly, shook his head and said: "Okay, you are not young anymore, go to the account office to get a sum of silver, and go back to your hometown to retire." ”

"Huh?" The steward was shocked and frightened, "Old man! I'm still young, and I can still help the old man......"

"Shut up!" Old Man Zhou stopped him, "I have four stewards here, and you are the most closely related to the inner court, do you think I don't know?" ”

The steward's face suddenly turned blood-red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Old Man Zhou's sharp and deep eyes anymore.

"Sheng Jia's post, did you deliberately hide it from me?" Old Man Zhou knocked on the table, "Just this one, you must know that if you are in the military camp, if you dare to hide the military information from your boss, you will not be spared!" ”

The steward was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, wept so much that he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Old man! Old man! For the sake of the old lady, spare me once! I don't dare anymore! ”

"If it weren't for Madame's sake, do you think you would be able to get out of this Divine General's Mansion alive?" Old Man Zhou sneered, "Get out." ”

The steward really made a gourd shape and rolled out of Old Man Zhou's outer study.

After he left, the other three stewards walked in and bowed their hands to Old Man Zhou: "Master, you have disposed of him, at the old lady's place, but it is not easy to speak." ”

Old Man Zhou smiled, "What's not to say?" This family's surname is Zhou, not Jiang. ”

Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is surnamed Jiang.

The three stewards glanced at each other, and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, the old lady won't blame you, but the old lady, maybe she will be angry......"

"Anger?"

"Of course. For example, this incident was caused by the post of the grand girl. She came to the god's mansion to pay a prayer, and was hidden from the lord by the person who colluded with the inner courtyard of the housekeeper. Although you have other arrangements, sir, and you did not miss the grand girl's call for help, but this steward is a taboo in the end, and it is not too much to punish him. But in the eyes of those in the inner courtyard, it was completely the fault of the grand girl. If she hadn't voted for the post, how could she have caused the old man to lose his temper? It will not let Steward Jiang lose his errand because of this. Of the four major stewards around you, Steward Jiang is the youngest. But you let him go back to his hometown to recuperate, obviously he made a mistake and was punished back. The old lady's face is not good-looking......"

Old Man Zhou listened intently to the three stewards analyzing the pros and cons for him, pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Then it can be regarded as a warning." If they still don't understand, then the inner courtyard of the Divine General's Mansion should also be managed by someone else. He said. Don't dwell on it anymore. I pulled another book from the shelf and looked at it.

The three stewards looked at each other. Bow your head and stand back.

In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Zhou's Jiang learned that her nephew was put back to his hometown by Mr. Zhou to be "honored".

Looking at this nephew who was kneeling in front of her with a handful of snot and tears, Mrs. Zhou sighed softly, put down the tea cup in her hand, and said, "Since the master said it, it's useless for you to beg me." The master has always said that he is the same, who do you think can beat the master? ”

“…… The eldest prince can. Steward Jiang was unconvinced.

Old Madam Zhou paused and said with a smile: "We can't compare with Huai Xuan. He is a rising star of the Zhou family. It's the future god general, I'm just an old woman who is about to enter the earth, how can I compare with the little general? As he spoke, he smiled, with a very peaceful expression on his face, "Go back, recuperate in your hometown, and say hello to my eldest brother and sister-in-law on my behalf." ”

Although this nephew was only in his forties, the youngest of the four stewards, he was the first to be asked to return to his hometown to "be honored".

Old Madam Zhou's expression was indifferent. Seems indifferent.

When Steward Jiang saw Mrs. Zhou say this, it was probably irreparable. wiped a handful of tears and kowtowed a few more times before leaving.

When he left, Mrs. Zhou ordered her eldest maid to send a large bag of silver to Steward Jiang, which was regarded as entanglement.

……

When Zhou Huaixuan returned to his courtyard, it was almost midnight.

Forsythia and Agarwood knew that he was back early in the morning, and prepared a lot of meals that he always loved to eat, waiting for him to come back to eat.

As a result, he waited until almost midnight until he returned.

"The eldest son!"

"The eldest son."

Agarwood and forsythia greeted them.

Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "Hot water." ”

Forsythia hurriedly said: "The slave maid has already prepared it for the eldest prince." ”

After Agarwood followed, she helped Zhou Huaixuan with the change of clothes, and asked, "Eldest son, where is your mink fur?" Is it that this kid is lazy again? Don't wear mink fur for the eldest prince? On such a cold day, how can it be good to freeze the eldest son? ”

Zhou Huaixuan was noncommittal and went into the bath room to bathe.

Agarwood and Forsythia stood at the door of the bath room, listening to the sound of water rushing inside, and whispering.

"Forsythia, I heard from people outside that the eldest prince came back early, but instead of going home, he went to the Shengguo Mansion."

Forsythia nodded, "Got it." The eldest prince has a good relationship with the Sheng family, and he has the grace of saving his life, so he naturally wants to take care of it. ”

Agarwood smiled and said, "I think so too." ”

Zhou Huaixuan bathed out, his dark and heavy forehead hair was moist, and a strand hung down to his shoulders, soaking the moon-white brocade robe on his body to a half-wet finish, and faintly seeing the strong shoulders and delicate collarbones under the brocade robe.

Forsythia hurriedly looked away and said with a smile: "Eldest son, dinner is in the hall." ”

Agarwood couldn't take her eyes off it, and it wasn't until Zhou Huaixuan left her sight that she withdrew her eyes in despair.

Forsythia coughed lightly and kicked her, shaking her head sternly.

Agarwood hurriedly lowered his head and walked outside to serve.

Zhou Huaixuan didn't go out, he walked behind the screen, wiped his hair half-dry with a dry towel, and said, "I slept." So saying, he threw the towel into the screen, and went out from behind the screen, walked to the lacquered bed of his Hague relief, tore off the curtain, and went to sleep.

Agarwood and Forsythia were helpless, so they had to eat something indiscriminately, and cleaned up and stayed in the warm pavilion outside Zhou Huaixuan's interior and exterior for the night.

……

Early the next morning, Sheng Siyan got up.

She used the balm that Wang had given her to wipe her face last night, and she got up this morning and washed her face, and when she looked in the mirror, the frostbite parts had improved greatly, and her skin was not so rough.

She didn't have much time to dress up, though.

After breakfast, she hurriedly went to the Wang family to ask for peace, and then took Barley, two mothers-in-law, and four entourages out of the Shengguo Mansion.

At the door, I saw the sergeant of the Divine General's Mansion, still standing guard at the door of her house.

Sheng Siyan hurriedly asked his entourage: "Is there anything to eat and drink for these soldiers?" ”

The attendant hurriedly said, "The stewards of the outer court are ready. But they don't eat it, they all send it from the god's house. ”

I didn't even eat the Sheng family's things......

Sheng Siyan didn't know what to say, so he had to smile at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The soldiers bowed to her.

One of the leading soldiers said, "Lady Shan, where are you going?" The eldest prince said that if you want to go out, you must bring a soldier from the Divine General's Mansion to follow. ”

Sheng Siyan was very grateful, and said with a smile: "Then it will trouble you." I'm going to Dali Temple now, I don't know who can go with me? ”

The leading soldier said, "I'll go with the eldest girl." ”

Sheng Siyan nodded, "Excuse me." ”

With the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion to follow, they had a very safe and smooth journey.

Zhou Huaixuan made a big show in the capital yesterday, saying that the Shenjiang Mansion supported the Shengguo Mansion, and many people who wanted to take the opportunity to rob the Shengguo Mansion disappeared.

For the first time, Sheng Siyan felt that walking on the streets of the capital, she was so relieved, she didn't have to worry about being chased and killed, let alone being caught in prison and dying in vain!

When he came to Dali Temple, Sheng Siyan ordered his entourage to go to the lobby of Dali Temple to hand over a post, saying that he wanted to visit Sheng Qiye.

The subordinate officials of Dali Temple saw that the eldest girl of the Sheng family was coming, and they did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went to report to the king of Dali Temple.

Wang Zhiquan was worried about his daughter for two months, and finally waited for the news of her safe return, but he didn't dare to go to see her, he was in a hurry, he heard Sheng Siyan coming, and hurriedly asked someone to invite her in to talk.

Sheng Siyan came to the back hall of Dali Temple and saw that the wife of King Chengzhiquan of Dali Temple was also there.

As soon as she saw Sheng Siyan, she took her hand and looked her up and down, and said with tears in her eyes: "You guys are back." Good boy, tell me, how are you living in the mountains? Is your mother unwell? I'm counting the days, she's about to give birth, right? ”

Sheng Siyan nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you for remembering." My mother is fine, she is recuperating at home, and there is no major problem. If you have time, you can come and sit at my house. Now the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion are guarding outside our house, and they are much better than before. ”

In the past, the soldiers of the Marquis of Changyuan Mansion were also guarding in front of the Shengguo Mansion, and they actually treated them as turtles in the urn.

And now the soldiers of the Divine General's Mansion are completely here to protect them.

Sheng Siyan and the Wang family both trusted Zhou Huaixuan and were very relieved about these soldiers.

Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple pulled her and asked her for a long time, before she put her mind at ease, and prepared a lot of things for pregnant women to take back to Sheng Siyan.

Sheng Siyan hurriedly said: "The family is preparing, don't worry, there will be no shortage of these on my mother's side." ”

Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple was stunned and said: "Aren't all your family's things stolen by the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion?" ”

Sheng Siyan: "=,=" Why does everyone seem to know about it?

"You don't know yet, do you? Yesterday, General Zhou Xiao took those people to the Changyuan Marquis Mansion and ripped off the face of the Changyuan Marquis Mansion. Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple covered her mouth and smiled, very happy.
