Chapter 220: I want to be a fisherman

Wang Qiheng's temples jumped suddenly.

The emperor is trying to force the Wang family to make a move!

Grandfather and father knew the reason why the emperor had set this marriage for the crown prince, and guessed that the emperor might want to take advantage of the three families who fought each other. The Wang family didn't want to be a jade mussel, and wanted to let the four princes and the seven princes fight first.

However, the emperor did not allow it......

He returned to his lodgings with a heavy heart.

"Did Miss go out today?" Wang Qiheng asked the mother-in-law who was in charge of watching Wang Jinxiu.

The woman shook her head, "No." ”

Wang Qiheng frowned, "Nesting in the room all day?" ”

What he said to his father before was not all words of favoritism. In the past few days, my sister has been very well-behaved, and she has been nesting in the small courtyard, and even when the queen summoned her, she pushed it because she was unwell.

He knew that his sister was a wild man, but he didn't want to dare to refuse even the queen's summons!

You can't let the girl mess around like this anymore!

Wang Qiheng turned his heels and strode towards the small courtyard where his sister lived.

At the gate of the courtyard, I heard the little girl chattering.

"Miss, this hairpin is so beautiful!"

"The red jade on it looks as good as the hairpin that Miss Chu wore!"

New hairpins? Wang Qiheng coldly glanced at the mother-in-law who followed behind him, "Didn't you say that Miss didn't go out today?" ”

There are two jewelry and clothing shops in the summer resort, which are opened by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law who come to escape the summer will sometimes go to shop and buy some lovely things.

This mother-in-law is doing rough work, and she can't enter the yard of the young lady, how do you know how the young lady got a new hairpin?

"Miss really didn't go out today. The old slave has been guarding the door and has not left for half a moment. ”

The rules of the Wang family are strict, and if they are deceived and concealed, they will be beaten at least and sold at worst, Wang Qiheng does not doubt the words of this mother-in-law.

He walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and lifted his eyelids in shock.

Wang Jinxiu sat on the steps at the door of the room, with a half-human-high machine bracket in front of him, and a few pieces of jade and two rough stones were scattered on the low table next to the machine bracket.

As the eldest daughter, the good things at home are at Wang Jinxiu's disposal, and there are countless jewelry, where does she need to do it herself?

"Jin Niang, what are you doing?" Wang Qiheng asked quietly.

"My lord, miss, she's making jade!" The little maid Layue replied quickly, and handed over the hairpin in her hand like a treasure, "This is made by Miss, is it as beautiful as the red jade hairpin that Xie Shizi gave to Miss Chu?" ”

Wang Qiheng took the hairpin slightly stunned, and carefully looked at the ruby gem on the hairpin.

The hairpin that Xie Shizi gave to Chu Yu, he had never seen it, and guessed from Xie Shangshu's red jade belt and Chu Shangshu's waist match that it should be a fine hairpin. I heard that in the sun, the hairpin has a peony flower pattern floating.

"My lord, Miss's hairpin also has a pattern floating in the sun, but Miss's hairpin is a half-branch lotus pattern!"

Wang Qiheng put the hairpin in the sun, and sure enough, he saw the lotus pattern looming. His pupils constricted twice rapidly.

Jin Niang actually did what the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry couldn't do!

How many tricks the emperor used to get the drawings of Xie Shizi's jade making tools, Wang Qiheng knew a little.

Soon, the expression on Wang Qiheng's face returned to calm.

The girl is extremely smart, he always knew it. But what's the use?

My grandfather and father have made up their minds, and the more my sister is like this, the harder her life will be.

"This hairpin is beautiful." Wang Qiheng said, put down the red hosta, bent down and held Wang Jinxiu's hand, "But your hands are worn out." You are the one who wants to be the crown princess, how can you do such rough work? If you grind out the cocoon, you will be disgusted by your husband. ”

The reason why the noble daughter of the family is expensive is because she has raised a delicate and delicate skin and flesh, and there is no flaw in the light.

Now, Wang Jinxiu's ten slender jade fingers have been ground to the point that the skin is broken, and some places are faintly hard, which is the sign of a cocoon.

Wang Jinxiu broke free of his hand, "I'll go and apply the moisturizing cream." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked into the room.

Looking at the back of his sister Qingling, Wang Qiheng sighed secretly.

The girl is not happy.

How could he not know what she was thinking?

It's just that he can't help her, so instead of giving her useless hope, it's better to pretend to turn a blind eye.

After leaving the sentence "Take care of yourself, remember to go and say hello to the queen", Wang Qiheng left.

Hearing the footsteps in the distance, Layue looked disappointed, "It seems that the adults don't plan to help Miss." ”

Wang Jinxiu's face was calm, "Isn't this something that you have known for a long time?" ”

The eldest brother has the difficulties of the eldest brother, he is the future head of the Langya Wang family, and he needs to take care of the overall situation.

"Aren't you working in vain, young lady?" Layue looked at her young lady's tattered fingers distressedly.

Wang Jinxiu had a faint smile on her face, "These are all things I want to do, how can I be considered busy in vain?" ”

She put on the coarse cloth apron again, walked out, sat down in front of the machine again, picked up a piece of red jade wool stone, and looked at it for a while, "Let's make a waist match for the eldest brother." ”

"But your hands are ......," Layue remembered the advice of the eldest young master when he left, "If you continue to do it, your hands are really going to be calloused, how can you go to see the queen tomorrow?" ”

"On the queen's side, you continue to report illness."

After speaking, Wang Jinxiu buried his head in fiddling with the red jade hair stone......

The palace, the emperor's study for official business.

The emperor's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a gloomy calculation.

"Anshun~"

An Shun bowed forward.

"You send two people to the prison of the Criminal Department......" the emperor said the order in a low voice.

An Shun's eyes flashed with consternation, and soon he calmed down again, sang a song, and hurried out of the study.

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched coldly, "If you want to sit and reap the benefits, you have to ask me if I want to!" ”

He gave the crown prince and the fourth son to marry, not to finally compete for a prince, he wanted to lose all three, and no one threatened him from now on, whether it was the court or the harem!

In the early morning, the sky just turned out the white of the fish's belly.

The summer days are long and the nights are short, Xie Shangshu has already dressed and is ready to go to the court.

An embarrassed figure stumbled in, only having time to shout, "Grandpa Guo, it's not good!" And the man fainted.

Xie Shangshu hurriedly asked the guards who knew medicine to rescue him.

The person who came was the secret guard of the Zhenguo Mansion, and after Xie Shangshu saw his face clearly, his expression became solemn, "Two bowls, go and call the prince." Xie Yun has an accident! ”

Yesterday after returning from the capital, Xie Shangshu told Xie Xun everything that happened in the Criminal Department, Xie Xun heard that Xie Yun was beaten to the flesh, and was worried that Xie Yun's wound would be inflamed, so he sent a secret guard to transport Xie his homemade alcohol to wipe the wound.

The dark guard was just sending some alcohol, but he made such an embarrassment, most likely something was wrong.

When the guard woke up, he shouted, "There was a fire in the prison last night, and when the subordinates arrived, the fire had already risen. The subordinates desperately broke in, but they didn't see Lord Langzhong......"

At this moment, everyone in the capital is talking about the fire in the prison of the Criminal Department last night.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division put out the fire in time, otherwise I don't know how many prisoners would have been burned to death!"

"The weather is dry and dry, so everyone should pay more attention to the candles."
