Chapter Fifty-Eight: Prince Heng's Trick to Return to Beijing
"Double happiness is Xi, only two people who are happy with each other tie the knot, this Xi word is meaningful, do you see this Xi word is not like each other, do not abandon the meaning? Do you guess that the little prince of Dong Mansion and Song Shanshan are Xi? β
Hebai's eyes widened in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you're right!" β
Ming Lanying smiled incomprehensibly, "Low-key and low-key." β
Ning Er looked up at Ye Jielu who was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, "Daddy, what is my mother talking to Aunt Hebai?"
Ye Jielu rubbed his head, "It's nothing, I'll know when you're weak." β
"Here comes the bride!"
After a while, the firecrackers outside the house exploded, and the suona gongs and drums played high joy.
Ming Lanying suddenly remembered that Ye Jielu should be regarded as Song Shanshan's maiden family, and poked Ye Jielu's hand on the side, "Shouldn't you be from Song Shanshan's side?" β
Ye Jielu held her hand with his backhand and didn't let go, "No, it's not at all, I'm just a colleague and friend with Song Junyi." β
"And her dowry?" Ming Lanying struggled twice and couldn't break free, glared at Ye Juelu, and gave him enough face outside.
"That's the Song family's business, and the Dong Mansion also knows the situation of the Song family, so they won't care."
Ming Lanying sighed and shook her head regretfully, "Actually, the Dong Mansion is still good." β
After Song Shanshan married into the Dong Mansion, as long as she didn't die, she would be able to live a stable life with Dong Xiaogongzi in the rest of her life.
It's just that Song Shanshan doesn't know what kind of mentality Dong Xiaogongzi will treat after knowing how many concubines and a flat wife Dong Xiaogongzi has, Dong Xiaogongzi likes her, and his mother doesn't like this woman who is lonely and has no help to Dong Fu.
Now that Song Shanshan is getting married, Ming Lanying can be regarded as revenge, one yard to one yard, one report to one report.
The previous Ming Lanying was not good to Ye Jielu's father and son, and Song Shanshan often took things to help, although it was a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, but this was a yard. Later, she bought murder with Lin Qingshuang, and she remembered a grudge against her, this is a report.
The crane has sharp eyes, and has a lot of experience in some small methods on the rivers and lakes, so he quietly scolded Ming Lanying, "Sister-in-law, you see, the bride was carried by two Xi women, and her feet were fluttering, and she was drugged at a glance." β
Ming Lanying took a second look and found that it was true, Song Shanshan was arranged by Ye Juelu in another courtyard, and Ye Juelu sent someone to keep an eye on her, and it was Ye Juelu's people who wanted to be drugged.
Ming Lanying raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Jielu, Ye Jielu lowered her eyes and looked at her, gently hooked her lips and smiled, "You can't miss the good day and auspicious day." β
Ming Lanying smiled, "If Song Shanshan knew that you were still here to watch the ceremony, would she be dizzy?" β
He also likes the bad-hearted Ming Lanying very much, Ye Jielu gently kneaded her hand, "She doesn't have that much strength now." β
Ming Lanying looked at the excitement with a smile, and after worshipping the church, Song Shanshan was the daughter-in-law of the Dong Mansion.
Weddings, ceremonies, and ceremonies for wives and wives were completely dark when the banquet began.
Ming Lanying looked up at the clouds covering the moon, and it was estimated that there would be heavy snow tomorrow, and the Dong Mansion was brightly lit, and the banquet was lively.
Others came to attend the ceremony to socialize, only their family came to concentrate on eating, and everyone was satisfied with Ye Juelu and didn't bother anymore after saying a few words.
Ye Jielu is used to being cold in officialdom, one is to avoid suspicion, the other is too lazy to deal with it, and others are used to it, but it made Ming Lanying see the world and realize how popular Ye Jielu is.
Hebai took Ning'er to concentrate on eating, and didn't forget to whisper to Ming Lanying, "Sister-in-law, this cook can't do it, it's not as delicious as what you make, and the meat is old." β
Ming Lanying glanced at her, "Concentrate on eating yours, this is a wedding feast, eat a happy meal." β
Hebai sighed, smacked his mouth, and muttered, "I don't seem to have eaten your and my brother's wedding banquet yet......"
Coincidentally, Ming Lanying hadn't eaten it herself, so Ye Jielu scooped a bowl of soup for her and whispered, "I also want to eat our wedding banquet." β
How can an eight-foot man talk like a puppy, Ming Lanying took the soup bowl and responded perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it." β
After the groom came out to toast, he was supported by his subordinates with a drunken spirit, and he had to give Ye Jielu three more glasses.
"Commander Ye, I am, thank you from the bottom of my heart...... If it weren't for you, I would really have no fate with Shanshan in this life, I, I can hold the beauty, it's all up to Commander Ye! Great kindness and virtue cannot be repaid! In the future, he will be the leader of Ye, and he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire! β
Dong Xiaogongzi raised his wine glass, even if he said this, he didn't dare to clink glasses with Ye Juelu, he staggered and poured three glasses of wine and dried them all, his delicate white-faced scholar's face was red from the smell of wine, his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and he squinted a little crookedly, and he was talking to Ye Juelu with messy words of thanks.
Ming Lanying was a little speechless and funny watching from the side, and it could be seen that Dong Xiaogongzi was really grateful to Ye Juelu, and he also liked Song Shanshan very much, and he also cried as he spoke, and faintly began to say that his bumpy courtship road was finally taken away by Lord Xiao Dong.
Ming Lanying also saw Master Dong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the jujube red robe embroidered with crimson auspicious ruyi group pattern, the old man in the year of the sixtieth year, the body is tough, the spirit is strong, the eyes are squinting happily, and the folds at the corners of the eyes are amiable.
"Commander Ye is here, and he will forgive the crime of poor hospitality."
"No, Lord Dong's mansion is very happy, and Ye will naturally come to say hello in person."
Master Dong patted Ye Juelu with a smile, and was stunned when he saw Ming Lanying beside him, "Who is this?" β
"Uchiko, Minglan Warbler." Ye Jielu put his arm around Ming Lanying and introduced it to Lord Dong, "Lady, this is Lord Dong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." β
Ye Jielu made such a formal introduction, it seems that this Lord Dong is from the emperor's party, and Ming Lanying smiled and bowed Yan Yan. It's not for Lord Dong, the Ming Lanying in his memory is a rude and rude big fat man, and then looking at Ye Jielu's intimate attitude towards her, she can't react for a while.
"It's the old man who is clumsy, and he didn't recognize that it was Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye must have some opportunity, and the change is so great."
Ming Lanying smiled, "Master Dong praised it falsely, there is no chance, but it took a little time to wake up after a little while." β
Lord Dong squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Jielu and put his arm around Ming Lanying, "The lower officials have something to discuss with Commander Ye, I wonder if Commander Ye can take a step to speak?" β
Ye Juelu didn't move, "Just say it here, it's okay." β
Master Dong glanced at Ming Lanying hesitantly, hesitated for a moment and changed his rhetoric, and lowered his voice, "The news that Prince Heng has returned to Beijing in more than three months has been notified to the Ministry of Rites first, and the Ministry of Rites has recently arranged for Prince Heng and others to return to Beijing. I thought it was the same as before, just do some small things, but this time the prince said that the boat and car were tired, and I hoped that the Ministry of Rites could let people go out of the city for thirty miles to greet him, which was not in line with the etiquette of the prince returning to Beijing. β
"Lord Shangshu couldn't pay attention for a while, so he asked the emperor, and the emperor said that it would be arranged by Commander Ye, I wonder if Commander Ye can pay attention?"
Ming Lanying was surprised, is this matter of the Ministry of Rites under the command of Ye Juelu, a third-grade Praetorian Guard?
Ye Jielu pondered for a moment, "Yes, if the prince wants to be thirty miles, then thirty miles, and half of the manpower will be transferred from the Praetorian Guard." β
Lord Dong frowned and was a little embarrassed, leaned closer and said, "But the prince went to Beijing for a trip to Beijing, how could he have such a big scene?" β
Ye Juelu patted Lord Dong on the shoulder, "If he wants it, he will give it, I will arrange the manpower, Lord Dong doesn't have to worry." β
"Yes."
Before Lord Dong left, he glanced at Ming Lanying without a trace, as if he had something to say to Ye Jielu, but Ye Jielu kept sticking to Ming Lanying, and it was inconvenient to say, and finally sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
As soon as Master Dong left, the smile on Ming Lanying's face faded a little, and she raised her hand to slap him by the elbow and widened the distance, "Why are you in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites?" β
Ye Jielu silently let go of his hand, sat back in his position, and explained quietly: "It's not in my hands, but I have been by the emperor's side for the longest time, and the emperor can guess six or seven points, and the emperor asked them to ask me, which is to leave this matter to me." β
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows lightly, Prince Heng had been thinking about it since he returned to Beijing, and he would go out of the city to meet thirty miles? I don't know and think that he came back from a victory, and the army of the king who returned triumphantly didn't have such a big show, is this a trick?
At that time, the Ministry of Rites led people out of the city to welcome 300,000 troops, and the people in the city who didn't know thought that Prince Heng had returned triumphantly, or that the court was about to be renewed.
However, these are all things that Ye Jielu and the emperor are worried about, even if Prince Heng really brings people to kill them directly, she has the ability to take Ning Er and Hebai to escape from the capital first.
"Master Dong seems to have some opinions about me just now, and I've been trying to tell you?"
Ye Jielu shook his head again and again, "No, he has seen you before, you have changed too much, he is a little unbelievable, it doesn't matter." β
As soon as Ming Lanying wanted to say something more, Ye Jielu stretched out her arm, her bony fingers gently pinched her chin, and gently turned her face to look at her.
There seemed to be a little star hidden in her deep eyes, and there was a kind of hot and vague emotion surging in her eyes, which made Ming Lanying feel a little hot and didn't dare to approach.
"You don't have to be distracted to care about those unimportant people, you just need to care about me, okay?"
Ming Lanying was in a trance, and was awakened by the sound of Hebai covering Ning'er's eyes, only to remember that he was still on the table, and hurriedly pulled away his hand, lowered his voice to warn him, "What are you doing, it's still outside!" β
Ye Jielu kneaded her fingers, stared at her with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and a low laugh overflowed from his throat, "Then let's go back and close the door." β
Ming Lanying didn't react to the meaning of his words for a while, and caught a glimpse of Hebai covering Ning'er's ears and moving to the side, only to realize it later, and slowly blushed, but she still twisted his arm with a tense face.
"Any more nonsense, and you're going to sleep in the stables tonight." These words did not mean to treat Ye Jielu as the head of the family at all.
Ye Jielu hissed lightly but didn't move, softened his voice with a point of pleading, two points of coquettishness, "Lady light ......"
Ming Lan Ying: "......"
In the second half of the meal, Ming Lanying didn't have the heart to eat, Hebai took Ning'er to a distance of one person from them, and brought his own isolation enchantment, for fear of hearing the secret between the little two people who shouldn't be heard.
The wedding feast did not last long, and the family returned to the Commander's Mansion after eating and drinking.
Lord Dong still took advantage of the opportunity to send off the guests, pulled Ye Jielu in front of the carriage and said a few words, Ming Lanying didn't hear clearly, only saw Ye Jielu patting Lord Dong's shoulder, and the worry on Lord Dong's face was a little less.
Ye Jielu said that he was going back to the house and closing the door with Ming Lanying to continue, but in fact, as soon as he returned to the house, he changed his night clothes and took Taiyi and the others to take advantage of the night to go out.
The capital has a large population, and a quarter of the people in ambush are Prince Heng's forces, which makes the emperor frightened, he doesn't know how long Prince Heng has been plotting, and he can gather so many people to work for him and do such a rebellious thing.
If you want to eradicate them one by one, you can't get rid of them all, Ye Jielu led people to assassinate a few big heads, cut off a few big heads, and the rest of the miscellaneous pieces will be easy to handle when the time comes.
400,000 miscellaneous pieces, tens of thousands of big heads, Ye Jielu took Taiyi and other thirty-three members of the personal guards, and half of the Praetorian Guards, every night when the night was dark and the wind was high, several people started to encircle and suppress together, and a wave of people moved quietly, like a killing god lurking in the dark night.
Ye Jielu went out with his front feet, and Hebai's back feet sneakily touched Minglan Ying's house to eavesdrop, but he didn't hear anything, and wandered around the corner of the wall suspiciously, but was found by the wolf cubs and mistresses in the house.
Minglan Ying tugged at Hebai's ears and asked her what she was doing when she didn't sleep at night.
Tsurubai pouted and muttered, "Isn't this concerned about the emotional exchange between you and my brother...... It hurts! β
Ming Lanying snorted coldly, "You're still quite attentive?" And worry about me and your brother, it's almost the New Year, right? How old is it this year? I also changed my family, and I will give you a name in the matchmaker this year, clean up well, and prepare for a blind date next year! β
"Sister-in-law! I don't want it! I'm still young, andγAndγIsn't there a hurry in winter and summer! I don't care, winter and summer are arranged to me again! β
Ming Lanying raised her foot and gave her a kick in the ass, "Are you compared to Dong Xia?" Dong Xia is more sensible than you, you either choose it yourself, or I choose it for you, or your brother chooses it for you. β
Tsurubai whimpered, "I don't want it!" I still have to grow up with Ning'er, and I will rely on you! β
After speaking, she slipped away directly over the wall, Ming Lanying sighed helplessly, Song Shanshan's wedding today also gave her a wake-up call, women in this era are married early, Song Shanshan got married at the age of nineteen or twenty, in her opinion, it was just right, but she also said that she heard a few bad voices on the table.
made her think of Hebai, a girl who doesn't make people worry, she never mentioned letting Hebai return to You's house, originally Hebai's family affairs should have been arranged by Youjia, but Hebai has always been very resistant to things related to Youjia, so she shouldn't have it. Anyway, it's still early, and Hebai is still young, so she can have a bottom in her heart.
Ming Lanying was still worried that it was only more than three months before Prince Heng returned to Beijing, but Ye Jielu quietly gave her a thorough explanation, and he seized the opportunity to sort things out by the dark forces arranged by Biansai, delaying the speed of Prince Heng and his party.
Once or twice, Prince Heng thought it was an accident, and after a long time, Ming Lishu reacted that it was rectified, but the means came out in endlessly, one would be like a mountain bandit, and the other would be like a barbarian, so that Prince Heng was angry but couldn't catch anyone, and even a shadow was touched, and he directly cut off the head of the head of the guard.
At this rate, I don't know if I can get to the capital in four months, and Ming Lanying is also relieved.
Don't take your brain to watch, logic can't stand scrutiny, watch it for fun ()
