Chapter 190: Aunt and Cousin
Jiang Yuqi is fourteen years old, slim and beautiful, but she has a boyish temperament and is naughty and tight.
Hearing this, he pouted and said, "Knowing my mother, what is there to be afraid of my brother, isn't he just a big child?" Not a few years older than Yuqi, I'm afraid I haven't read outside, and my name and brother of the Song family have the word Qing, I'm afraid that the brother of the Song family is far away! ”
Princess Zheng couldn't help frowning and reprimanded: "Then Song Ruqing is an outsider after all, how can she not protect her brother and face outsiders?" You're getting more and more ignorant! ”
Jiang Yuqi snorted heavily, don't look over.
At this moment, the voice of the maid came from outside: "Shizi!"
The eldest princess of Zheng immediately pulled Jiang Yuqi to sit upright.
A little Xin Zhuo entered the house, glanced at the mother and daughter, motioned to Sai Qingzhu to put down the large bags of gifts, and said with a smile: "I've seen my aunt!"
"Yuqing doesn't need to be polite, why bring any gifts at home, make people laugh!"
The eldest princess of Zheng Guo reproached slightly, and then cordially motioned for Xin Zhuo to sit down, and after thinking about it for a while, she said: "There is no other meaning for you to come, my aunt is a straightforward person who has something to say." That ...... of yours Na Xin Si, later renamed Xin Aotian, is actually a slave under his aunt...... Jiading, there was a big mess in the house back then, and I took you away, and my aunt was responsible for this matter, causing you to suffer all these years, Yuqing can't blame my aunt. ”
It turned out to be this, but in fact, Xin Zhuo had already seen this matter, his grandfather's bones were rusty, and it didn't matter who was right or wrong, but his mind suddenly moved, and he pretended to be curious: "What happened back then?" Why Xin...... Fourth, they will take me out, the Jiang family has many servants, and the door rules are strict, which is somewhat ...... Doesn't make sense, right? ”
"There's nothing to hide about this, you'll find out sooner or later......"
The eldest princess of Zheng Guo sighed: "Fourteen years ago, that is, in the twelfth year of the Heavenly Grant, the 500,000 troops of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions invaded on a large scale, defeated the Western Qin army three times, and captured thirty-one cities in one month!"
The first emperor ordered a total of 31 people from the five counties of the Jiang clan and 26 descendants to go on the expedition, but the whole army was wiped out, no one survived, and the 27 prefectures of the two states were lost in the Western Qin Border Fortress.
When the news came, the people in the capital were panicked, the Jiang family was in chaos, and there happened to be a rebellion of rebels, burning and looting everywhere, some of them took the opportunity to break into Jiang's house, and twelve Jiang boys were killed, if it weren't for the old lady and your mother and my sister Ji Jiuwei's strong wrists, protecting Yugui, and beheading seven generals of the rebellious army in a row, stabilizing the position, I am afraid of ...... At that time, Xin Si took advantage of the chaos and took you away, otherwise how could he have a chance? ”
Speaking of this, I looked at his face and said: "Later, the old lady and your mother led the widows of the Manmen family to the battle, and even the aunt personally went into battle to kill one or two hundred people, and finally leveled the enemy army in the Western Regions and recovered the lost territory.
In short, you don't need to worry about this matter, the Jiang family is full of loyalty, and the sound of the world's Kyushu and eight wildernesses, whether it is the royal family or the government and the opposition, they all owe our family! ”
Xin Zhuo nodded, that battle must be the battle of the Kunxu Demon, the Jiang family was wiped out, the eldest sister in Wuzhu said that it was a trap, and according to the eldest princess of Zheng Guo, this matter is really a bit strange!
Twelve boys of the Jiang family were killed, but there were no girls......
Princess Zheng Guo has already pulled Jiang Yuqi: "Come and see my brother!"
"I've seen my brother, Yuqi is polite!"
Jiang Yuqi blinked her big eyes like a fan, looked Xin Zhuo up and down, and suddenly said: "Brother is the elder of the Jiang family, I am afraid that he will inherit the throne of the county king in the future, in the future, you will be the master of the Jiang family, can you send someone to propose to Yuqi, Yuqi likes Song Ruqing's brother of the Song family!"
"Yuqi!"
Princess Zheng Guochang was unspeakably embarrassed.
Xin Zhuo felt a little funny, and the female eldest didn't stay, and asked, "Then what is the origin of the Song family, can you tell me?"
Jiang Yuqi tilted his head: "The son of the right servant of Shangshu Province is now serving in the Fengjian Division!"
The official position is not small, and it is also a good match, Xin Zhuo waved his hand: "Appropriate!" When my brother tests this person another day, I will definitely let my grandmother call the shots for you! ”
Jiang Yuqi blinked: "Brother, don't test it, Brother Ruqing's martial arts realm is extremely high, and his literary talent is good, you can't compare to him!"
Xinzhuo: "......"
Just by what you say, the matter of your marriage is blown! Your brother holds a grudge.
Princess Zheng couldn't help but scold indignantly: "Yuqi, you don't understand the rules!"
Jiang Yuqi stuck out her tongue and grimaced at Xin Zhuo: "That's it, brother Shizi who can't do anything!"
Xin Zhuo looked at Princess Zheng Guochang and said, "Can I beat her?" and almost said.
"After your fourth uncle left, the aunt was not strict in discipline, but Yuqing was told to see the joke!" Princess Zheng was even more embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's still small! In addition, Xin Si's matter, aunt and peace of mind, it's all over! ”
The two chatted for a while, and Xin Zhuo signaled to send a few scriptures in the afternoon for Jiang Yuqi to copy ten times, and got up to say goodbye with the meaning of his brother's love.
As a result, just out of the courtyard here, a steward in the distance hurriedly came and saluted: "Shizi, the second son is invited!"
Second son? Kang Ok-gyu?
Xin Zhuo is actually still full of curiosity about this brother, it is said that this kid is only half a year younger than himself, he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and playing, bullying and dominating the market, and he is one of the famous evildoers in the capital.
It's a ...... Yaren!
As the steward moved forward, he bypassed the layers of cabinets and finally arrived in front of the "Governor's Courtyard".
"Fengxingyuan" is also the residence of Jiang's sister-in-law, and there is only one word difference between Xin Zhuo's "Fengwei Yuan", and "Wei" seems to have more meanings than "line".
"Closer, closer, good! Don't move! ”
There was a burst of shouting from the spacious and luxurious courtyard, and I saw more than 20 servants in Tsing Yi pushing a huge wooden tall caster ladder, on which sat a young man in brocade clothes, with a square face and round eyes, at first glance it was quite serious, but on closer inspection, it was full of cunning and treacherous.
At this time, it was in the base...... Rockery? Or pile up the bricks in a mess.
Starting from the lowest wooden table, stools, stones, water tanks, screens, and wooden boxes, stacked layer by layer, without any support, crooked, and skewed, the base is made three zhang high and does not fall.
"Second son, be careful!"
Not far away, more than a dozen beautiful maids were nervous, obviously they didn't have the ability to catch their son-in-law, but stretched out their arms.
"Son, please wait!" The steward who led the way respectfully moved a Taishi chair.
"It's okay!" Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves, sat down with a golden knife, and looked up again at the only third-generation direct male of the Jiang family besides himself.
Wujing Wupin, how to say the appearance, there is no such family background, born in an ordinary rural small household, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law.
"Change places, get to the next table! It can also be stacked! ”
Jiang Yugui was sweaty, shouted, motioned to the slave to move the cart, struggled to lift a large table, and put it on the shelves of the "Building Block Mountain".
It's boring!
Xin Zhuo retracted his gaze, looked at the servants of the Courtyard who were worried about his son-in-law not far away, and turned back to the four daughters and said, "Look at other people's maids, and then look at you!"
The corners of Sai Qingzhu's mouth are slightly hooked, and his eyes look at his nose and nose. Yam and sweet potato snorted, don't look over.
However, the bear's paw blinked his eyes, and a pair of pointed ears trembled: "The son of the world will go up, and we will follow you too!"
"That's not necessary!" Xin Zhuo continued to wait and see.
Jiang Yugui above was busy for a while, and finally it was over, jumping off the wooden wheel ladder, looking at his masterpiece, clapping his hands with satisfaction, only then did he think of Xin Zhuo, and he was not polite when he turned around, and said as if he was familiar: "How?"
Xin Zhuo pretended to taste it carefully: "Awesome!"
"Awesome? Ha, that's a good word! My brother is a gentleman! ”
Jiang Yugui beckoned his subordinates to also bring chairs, sat with Xin Zhuo, shouted a few snacks, pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, shook his head, and said unclearly: "This craft can be done by few people in the whole capital except me, I am ready to pass it on to future generations, what do you think, brother?"
"Well, I think so!"
Xin Zhuo nodded and asked again, "But are you sure...... Isn't that fun? ”
"It's fun!" Jiang Yugui blinked, handed over a piece of sugar crisp, and when he saw that Xin Zhuo didn't want it, he smiled: "How can ordinary people understand the way of balance?" Does brother understand? ”
