Chapter 186: Door-to-door

Su Mingfeng staggered away, and when he left, he seemed to have experienced a huge blow of change, and he was almost a little lost. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Miao wanted to say a few words to Xie Jingxing, but Xie Jingxing returned to her previous casual appearance, and urged her to go back to the house to rest earlier, but she didn't want to mention it again. Shen Miao was helpless, so she had to follow his wishes.
Some people like to share their painful experiences with others to win their sympathy. However, what is really sad is that I don't want to take it out and share it, and recalling it once is sticking a knife into my heart. People like Xie Jingxing probably don't like to expose their weaknesses in front of others, so in the eyes of outsiders, he is still strong and omnipotent.
But Shen Miao heard something from his sentence "The most important thing is that Ming Qi has no upbringing for me, only erasure".
Until she returned to Shen's house, Shen Miao was thinking about this in her heart. What does Ming Qi mean by only erasing Xie Jingxing, but what floats in Shen Miao's mind is the matter of the previous life.
In the last life, the Lin'an Hou Mansion finally fell, Xie Ding and Xie Jingxing both died in battle, and the remaining brothers Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were promoted instead, and the Fang family was also rising. Now in this life, although the three sons of the Xie family are gone, Xie Ding is at least still there, as long as Xie Ding is still there, Lin'an Hou Mansion will not fall. If Xie Ding has the heart to marry again, it is possible to have another son at this age. Although it looks miserable, it is much better than the previous life.
What is the difference between this life and the previous life seems to have started two years ago. Xie Jingxing, the previous life, did not go to northern Xinjiang two years ago, but a few years later, the advance of time seems to have led to some changes. So what exactly led Xie Jingxing to make this decision?
Is it because of yourself?, Shen Miao pondered. But what did Mingqi push in it?
In her previous life, when Shen Miao knew about the affairs of the Xie family, she sighed very embarrassed, and she had also wondered in her heart whether the royal family was interfering in this matter, but she was unwilling to delve into it. It is reasonable, except for being a bastard, the father and son of the Xie family have never been disloyal to Ming Qi, if they are only wiped out because they are wary of their high merits, then the royal family will be too ruthless and unjust.
Now this conjecture has resurfaced.
Assuming that the royal family aimed at the Lin'an Hou Mansion at the beginning, the Xie family's father and son both died in battle, and the burning of the Lin'an Hou Mansion was the ending that the royal family had prepared for the Xie family. So because Xie Jingxing took the initiative to invite himself to go out in advance, this "plan" of the royal family was advanced.
The royal family got his wish and let Xie Jingxing "die in battle", but at this time Xie Ding was still alive, not only that, Xie Ding also had two sons, and the royal ambition for Lin'an Hou Mansion still did not disappear. Fortunately, Xie Ding collapsed after Xie Jingxing's death, so the "plan" to completely destroy the Lin'an Hou Mansion was not in a hurry.
Two years later, the two sons of the Xie family both died unexpectedly, and since then, Xie Ding has no possibility of turning over, and it is okay to stay, so the royal family changed its previous plan, and even took the initiative to appease it, to show the benevolence of the heavenly family and sympathize with the courtiers.
If Xie Jingxing had already expected everything that would happen in the future, then it was not a rash expedition two years ago, just as he said to Su Mingfeng, this is the only way to protect the Lin'an Hou Mansion.
But these are all Shen Miao's own thoughts, and no one knows what the truth is. She thought about it, she still had to find an opportunity to ask Xie Jingxing, she didn't want to delve into it in her previous life, but in this life, she was really curious.
This night, Shen Miao was full of thoughts, Su Mingfeng was tormented, and naturally there were people next to him who had no intention of sleeping.
In the Dingwang Mansion, it is bright all night.
Fu Xiuyi sat on the high seat, looked at the people who were reported by his subordinates, and slowly asked, "Su Mingfeng went to the Ruiwang Mansion?"
The subordinate said: "Exactly, after coming out, Pingnan Boshizi seemed to be stimulated and couldn't give up." ”
Fu Xiuyi waved his hand, and his subordinates retreated. The staff members around him stepped forward and asked: "Pingnan Bo Shizi went to King Rui's Mansion in the middle of the night, could it be that he has some relationship with King Rui in private?"
"Pingnanbo's Mansion is no longer in the office, and if King Rui really wants to find anyone to cooperate with, he should not be able to find him. Fu Xiuyi's eyes turned cold again: "The Su family was originally an excellent chess piece, if it weren't for Su Mingfeng's sudden serious illness and the Su family's gradual withdrawal from officialdom, it wouldn't have been like this." However," he said, "The Su family also escaped because of this, which can be regarded as lucky." ”
The staff said: "Speaking of which, the illness of Pingnan Boshizi was really weird. Because of the illness of Ping Nanbo's son, Ping Nanbo actually resigned, and now he is gradually retiring, and there is almost no news of them in Dingjing. ”
Fu Xiuyi laughed: "Do you think that Su Mingfeng is really sick?"
"Please advise Your Highness. ”
"Su Mingfeng and Xie Jingxing of Lin'an Hou Mansion are close friends. Fu Xiuyi said: "The Su family suddenly withdrew from the official career, and it was already strange. Especially Su Mingfeng, who was thriving at that time, but suddenly became seriously ill, he didn't even fight for it, and directly resigned. said that he would not live for a few years, you see, two years have passed, isn't Su Mingfeng also alive well? This is naturally someone in its reminder. Pingnanbo Mansion and Lin'an Hou Mansion have been friends since then, except for the reminder of the meeting, the people next to them will probably not be nosy. ”
"But," the staff asked suspiciously: "There is still Xie Ding in Lin'an Hou Mansion and Lin'an Hou, why did it be Xie Jingxing who reminded them, not Xie Ding?"
"Xie Ding himself is difficult to protect," Fu Xiuyi took a sip of tea: "Xie Ding is arrogant and arrogant, relying on his outstanding military achievements to be presumptuous in front of his father, and his father has already had the heart to get rid of him. If Xie Ding was smarter, he would have converged, but look at it, in Dingjing, how could he have converged. It's this Xie Jingxing," Fu Xiuyi narrowed his eyes: "Don't underestimate." ”
"Isn't Xie Jingxing also acting presumptuous?" said the staff: "When Dingjing City mentions Xie Xiaohouye, everyone knows that he is a stubborn and bold person. ”
"Yes, but don't forget one thing," Fu Xiuyi replied, "From beginning to end, he didn't enter the ranks." ”
"Everyone said that Xie Jingxing was not admitted because of Xie Ding, and he deliberately delayed his life, but I don't think so. At the original Jin Ju banquet, Xie Jingxing dealt with his two cousins alone, and the martial arts he showed were heartbreaking. He has great talent, but he doesn't want to show it, what is this called? This is called hiding clumsiness. ”
"How many years has Xie Ding lived, and how many years has Xie Jingxing lived. Xie Ding has lived for such a long time, and he will still be blinded by the wealth in front of Lin'an Hou Mansion, Xie Jingxing is young, but he can soberly judge the situation, Xie Jingxing is the most terrible person in Lin'an Hou Mansion. Therefore, the person who reminded the Su family was not Xie Ding, but Xie Jingxing, only Xie Jingxing. ”
The staff looked at Fu Xiuyi: "Is Your Highness looking too highly of Xie Jingxing?" Even if he reminds the Su family, it can't prove anything ......."
"What can't be proven?" Fu Xiuyi looked at him and asked rhetorically, "How about adding a Xie Jiajun?"
"Xie Jiajun?" The staff was puzzled, then thought of something, and looked at Fu Xiuyi in shock: "Your Highness means ......." ”
"In short, the most terrifying thing in Lin'an Hou Mansion is not Xie Ding, but Xie Jingxing. Fu Xiuyi said: "This person has enough ambition and brains when he is still young, if he is given a certain amount of power, Dingjing is afraid that the sky will change." With him, the bone of Lin'an Hou Mansion will never be gnawed. ”
"Fortunately, Xie Jingxing is dead. After listening to Fu Xiuyi's words, the staff breathed a sigh of relief: "Today's Lin'an Hou Mansion can no longer make any waves." ”
"Not bad. Fu Xiuyi said: "For dangerous enemies, we must always wipe them out before they grow up." However," he said, "What I'm curious about now is why Su Mingfeng got involved with King Rui. ”
"Not only that," the staff took his words, "and Princess Rongxin also seems to be investigating King Rui." Su Mingfeng's people even went to guard outside Shen's house, as if they were monitoring Miss Shen's every move. The same goes for Princess Rongxin. ”
"Su Mingfeng, Rui Wang, Princess Rongxin, Shen Miao," Fu Xiuyi said, "There must be something special about these people." Especially Shen Miao and King Rui, who are now married by their father. I know my father's temperament very well, and what I think will not be handed over. The Shen family is already in the pocket of his father, Shen Miao's father-in-law will never be cheap to outsiders, how could he inexplicably give her to King Rui as a princess, no matter how you look at it, for Yu Mingqi, it is not a cost-effective deal. ”
"Your Highness means ......," the staff muttered.
"This family affair must have been taken by King Rui, not only that, but King Rui must have used some method to force his father to make this decision. Fu Xiuyi suddenly smiled weirdly: "Don't you think it's strange, I suspected that King Rui and Shen Miao seemed to have an unusual relationship before, but I also felt that King Rui was not a person who changed the world's plans for the sake of women." But now it seems that I was wrong, and King Rui did have other thoughts about Shen Miao. That's why I went to great lengths to ask for a holy decree. ”
"In this world, nothing happens for no reason. Su Mingfeng and Princess Rongxin have never left Dingjing City in their lives, and it is impossible to know King Rui. But their attitude towards King Rui, Dao seems to be a little familiar. Also, King Rui and Shen Miao have only met a few times, how could they do this for her. Could it be that King Rui has been to Mingqi before?"
The staff was shocked: "Your Highness means that King Rui has been to Dingjing before, how many of them have been seen, and how many of them have even had friendships?"
"Blatantly can't come. Fu Xiuyi smiled: "Maybe we were all deceived at the beginning, or rather, King Rui lived in Dingjing as a Mingqi person from the beginning." Otherwise, this time, why would he be wearing a mask? I heard that the Da Liang royal family was all amazingly beautiful, why didn't King Rui dare to show his true face. ”
"I think his face must be known to us. ”
The staff were silent, as if speechless by the news.
Fu Xiuyi smiled again: "But these are just my guesses, and I can't do it now." It's okay, I've sent someone to continue to guard it, but now, I'm looking forward to King Rui's secret even more. He paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is Pei Lang now?"
The staff was stunned, thought about it for a while, and said, "I still refuse to let go." ”
Fu Xiuyi smiled: "Go on, just don't let him die." He added: "The Shen family is looking for these people, one by one, their bones are really hard, which is enviable. ”
The staff was chilled when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say anything more, and respectfully retreated.
......
And a few more days passed.
The Shen family finally accepted the fact that "Shen Miao is about to marry King Rui", since the family affair has been decided, the marriage invitation has been sent, and the dowry list has also been placed, the woman must always show a little attention to this family affair. Although Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan actually didn't approve of Shen Miao's marriage to King Rui, if they didn't prepare well, the people next to them would feel that they didn't pay attention to Shen Miao.
With a hard breath, Shen Xin didn't want people to look down on his daughter, but the dowry list sent by King Rui was really shocking, so how much dowry to prepare became a problem.
Originally, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were both military generals, and they had outstanding military achievements in their early years, and they also received a lot of rewards. The two of them were not in Dingjing all the year round, and these rewards were almost untouched except for the part given to Old Madam Shen. There are two children in the house, and Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan don't favor anyone, everyone is one and a half. In fact, it can be regarded as generous.
But in the two years that he was in Xiaochun City, he invested a lot of silver in Luo Jiajun, and the Shen family's wealth was not as solid as before. It's no wonder that the dowry list sent by King Rui, even if it was the heyday of the Shen family, it was difficult to match.
Before, Shen Qiu thought that King Rui was bragging, because this dowry list was enough for the official family to marry the daughters-in-law of ten high-ranking families. King Rui may be joking with the Shen family, but on the second day, Tie Yi sent two golden geese on the order of King Rui, which almost scared Shen Qiu to a moment.
That's what the Queen Mother has to treasure...... was the "color head" of the bride price by King Rui, and he casually found a box and sent it over.
Since then, everyone believes that Da Liang is really rich, and King Rui is really squandering money. This dowry list is not a joke, Shen Miao's dowry, this is a big deal.
Shen Qiu took the initiative to give Shen Miao the share of money he kept for marrying his daughter-in-law, and said: "People who are poor can't be short-minded, how can I make my sister's dowry less than half of the dowry given by King Rui, if it is in Daliang, it will not be looked down upon." Our girls from the Shen family, we must do our best, King Rui gives a dowry like this, we have few dowries, will we be looked down upon by him? It's a big deal, I still have some antique ornaments in my house, and I took them with me. Although we are poor, we can't lose face!"
Shen Xin thought so.
Shen Miao: "......"
The Shen family is one of the best families in Dingjing, why did they get to Shen Qiu's mouth, and now they look poor and destitute, and they have to sell the furnishings in the house to make up the dowry?
I'm not afraid to laugh off my big teeth when I say it.
Because it was the New Year, things big and small in Dingjing City were much easier, and Shen Miao's marriage was given by Emperor Wenhui at his own request. Xu knew that the Shen family was also dissatisfied with this family affair in their hearts, so Emperor Wen Hui specially granted Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan a period of leave, and asked him to accompany Shen Miao and wait for Shen Miao's family affair to come back later.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan did not have the emperor's permission, and their minds were all on Shen Miao, so they were naturally happy. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were in the military department, and at the end of the year, they basically did the same, and these days, they were all in the house to accompany Luo Xueyan to buy New Year's goods, or help Shen Miao.
The family was chatting in the hall, the cook was making new snacks, and the charcoal fire in the house was booming. Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao with a smile: "Little cousin, you will get married as soon as the New Year passes, although it is too late to embroider the dowry now, but ...... You have to prepare yourself. Change Ming'er and let the embroidery girl in the pavilion measure your body for you, and compare the size to speed up the clothes. ”
When Ming Qi's daughter's family got married, she had to embroider her own wedding dress. Generally speaking, the early ones who set their parents began to embroider for themselves a few years ago. The one who decided to marry a little later, let the tailor make the wedding dress, and embroidered a few stitches of pattern symbolically, which can be regarded as making it himself. In this way, there will be a meaning of harmony and beauty.
Originally, Shen Miao's relatives of the Shen family were not in a hurry, but as soon as the New Year passed this year, they began to look for suitable young talents, and at that time, Shen Miao began to embroider wedding dresses for herself. Who knew that Emperor Wen Hui's holy decree disrupted everything. At present, Shen Miao personally embroidered a wedding dress, which is absolutely impossible, so it has to be implemented as soon as possible.
Luo Xueyan patted her head and said with annoyance: "I've almost forgotten about this these days." Tan'er is right, the delicate wedding dress has to start preparing. I am not very familiar with the embroidery lady in Dingjing, and I will ask the good lady later, she knows where the clothes and jewelry are good. The delicate wedding dress can't be sloppy. After that, he looked at Shen Miao again, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao's figure is slender, and she looks good in a wedding dress." ”
When Shen Miao heard this, the words Xie Jingxing pulled her into his arms that day, "Just hug it" came to her mind. I couldn't help but feel a little hot on my face.
Shen Qiu asked, "Sister, why is your face so red?" Do you want to call a doctor to come and see it?"
Luo Ling's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
Luo Tan was smiling and telling Luo Xueyan what patterns were embroidered on the wedding dress, when he saw the little girl outside running in hurriedly and said, "Madam, master, someone outside the door asks to see." ”
"Didn't you say that you haven't seen any guests in the past few days and closed the door?" Shen Xin said unhappily: "Why didn't you stop him?" He wanted to enjoy the little family time left, so all the people who went to Shen Mansion to talk about things were gone.
The little girl was about to cry and said, "Yes...... It is His Royal Highness King Rui of Da Liang. ”
Luo Tan's eyes widened, and Shen Qiu stood up with a "Huo", opened his mouth murderously, and asked, "What is he doing here?"
Guy: "This ...... The little one didn't ask......"
Before the words fell, a low and pleasant voice was heard from behind the little girl.
"Give a wedding dress. ”
A tall and straight figure walked out from behind the little guy, the little guys in the Shen house didn't say that they had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but they were all upright and awe-inspiring, and they had been following Shen Qiu for a long time, and they still had a bit of heroic spirit. However, when compared with the person behind him, he suddenly looked a little disgraced.
The purple gold robe was wide and swaying, and his smile was a little contemptuous but not offensive, it seemed a little cynical, but the silver mask shone with a cold light, which gave him a bit of unpredictable depth. Even if you can't see the appearance, the outline is very good. Especially the step by step of the leisurely stroll, full of enthusiasm, all elegant as bones, lazy and noble, but there is a strong light that people can't ignore.
He said, "King Rui." ”
Even self-reported homes are so arrogant and presumptuous.
Shen Qiu almost drew his sword and got up, he slapped the table, and the dim sum plate on the table was shaken three times by him, and he asked, "You are King Rui?"
King Rui nodded.
"Why did you marry my sister, what plot do you have?" Shen Qiu shouted.
Luo Tan's jaw almost dropped, Shen Qiu's hostility towards King Rui was too great, but although everyone had this score in their hearts, would it be too rude to ask it in front of others......
"Jiaojiao, gentle and sensible, dignified and generous, I have admired it for a long time, and I am afraid to marry, but fortunately, the emperor's grace is mighty, and I am fortunate not to be dishonored. He said slowly, with a smile.
Shen Miao couldn't help but tremble, Xie Jingxing was really unaccustomed to speaking in such a gentle tone. You must know that when they didn't know each other well at first, every time Xie Jingxing saw her, he was tempting, cold-eyed, and mocking......
Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were suddenly furious, King Rui's words, on the surface, he praised Shen Miao, and also said that he admired Shen Miao, but the more he said it, the more it was not a taste. What is the emperor's grace? What is the emperor's grace? What is the blessing of not dishonoring one's life? Others don't know, but they are very clear, it is clear that it was King Rui who forced Emperor Wenhui to make a holy decree, and the emperor's grace is the emperor's grace who wants to be coerced.
Shen Qiu and Shen Xin are like two artillery battles, just a little bit of spark is about to explode. This wise king has done all the bad things, what kind of big-tailed wolf is running here!
Luo Xueyan's gaze softened.
Women don't look at men the same way as men look at men. When women look at men, they look at the details. Ruiwang did not use "this king", but "I". Shen Miao did not use "Miss Shen Wu" to call her, but "Jiaojiao". If it was just to take advantage of the power of the Shen family, King Rui had already got what he wanted, so there was no need for this. Regardless of whether he is sincere or acting at the moment, he is willing to put his mind into it, and that is good. For example, Fu Xiuyi, when Shen Miao was in love with Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi teased Shen Miao at the same time, if he left immediately, he did not refuse directly, but he did not accept it, he refused to put his mind into it, and he refused to please him. Therefore, the reason why the Shen family is unwilling to be with Shen Miao and Fu Xiuyi is not only because Fu Xiuyi's own identity will pull the Shen family into the water, but also because Fu Xiuyi does not love Shen Miao at all.
If you love someone, you are willing to spend your heart for her. If you don't want to spend it now, how can you expect it later?
Luo Xueyan looked at King Rui, King Rui was willing to put his mind into it, it was much better than she thought. What's more, when it comes to appearance and temperament, it is really difficult for King Rui to make people feel bad.
Compared with Fu Xiuyi, who is like a spring breeze, but holding the prince's shelf, he is always exquisite, sleek. King Rui is a person who acts presumptuously and lazily, but he also sees a bit of true temperament. This kind of true temperament comes from the royal family, which is even more valuable. Luo Xueyan hopes that Shen Miao's husband will not face Shen Miao with a false face.
She said, "His Royal Highness King Rui ......"
"My name is Yuan, and my name is Jingxing. King Rui said: "Madame can call me, Jing Xing." ”
Shen Miao almost choked on the tea.
Luo Xueyan was a little surprised, the people of the royal family are the most disciplined. is a brother, and always pay attention to this and that. The people of Da Liang are in Mingqi, and they can be regarded as very noble guests, especially King Rui himself is still the younger brother of Emperor Yongle, so he didn't expect people to call him his words.
Let people call their own words, that's a very good relationship to do that.
Luo Xueyan looked at King Rui's gaze even softer, and she said, "Jing Xing, you sit down first." Then he commanded the stinger: "Serve tea." ”
Shen Qiu and Shen Xin looked at Luo Xueyan in shock, unable to figure out why Luo Xueyan was so good to this Rui King in a short period of time. Seeing this, Luo Ling on the side looked at him with some concern.
"Jing Xing. Luo Tan suddenly spoke: "Isn't this the name of the prince of Dingjing Lin'an Hou Mansion?"
Shen Miao held the teacup, feeling a little weak in her heart.
Xie Jingxing is really bold! He dared to say his little words here, did he think that Su Mingfeng and Princess Ming'an had already known his true identity anyway, so it was better for more people to know it together? Anything related to his identity might arouse the suspicion of others, Xie Jingxing not only avoided suspicion, but also came up with it.
Even though she was drinking tea, Shen Miao felt that she was about to get drunk.
Shen Qiu was indignant in his heart, and he was very unhappy when he saw that Luo Xueyan was giving up his seat to King Rui and letting his subordinates serve tea, and when he heard Luo Tan's words, he said: "Yes, King Rui must not know who the prince of Lin'an Houfu is, right?"
King Rui turned to look at him, "Oh?
"His name is also Xie Jingxing, and he is the eldest son of Lin'anhou of Lin'anhou Mansion. People say that the south is Xie and the north are Shen, and their Xie family is a family of military generals who can be as famous as our Shen family! Xie Jingxing is the little marquis of the Xie family, he is a rare young talent, he can provoke several people with one move, not to mention Wen Taowuluo, and he also gave birth to a handsome face. can be regarded as a young talent admired by everyone in Ming Qi, and no one who knows it does not say good!" Shen Qiu sighed: "It's a pity that the genius is jealous, and he fell on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang early." He changed his words and looked at King Rui defiantly: "I don't know how it feels for His Royal Highness King Rui to have the same name as such a person?
Shen Miao: "......"
"Listening to Major General Shen's words, it seems that you admire that little master Xie very much?" asked King Rui slowly.
"Of course!" Shen Qiu said impassionedly, not caring at all about Luo Xueyan's frequent glances at her, but seeing Shen Xin's encouraging gaze on the side, he continued: "He is the hero in my heart, no one can replace him!"
Shen Miao held his forehead.
If she could, she really wanted to pretend that she didn't know Shen Qiu.
Look at Xie Jingxing again...... Must be secret...... It's so refreshing.
