When the Great Jin Dynasty unified Jiangnan, Grandpa Guo was ordered to garrison Xichang to resist Western Chu, and the two armies fought, and Grandpa Guo broke a pair of legs of King Jing'an, known as the overlord of Western Chu, which caused the prestige of King Jing'an to plummet, and he can only live in a wheelchair so far.

More than 10 years have passed, the descendants of King Jing'an have come out in large numbers, occupying important positions in Western Chu, and his face has finally picked up some, but the halberd has always been his hatred under the hands of the grandfather, more than ten years later, King Jing'an brought a son and two grandchildren to the Great Jin Dynasty to negotiate, willing to exchange the horses lacking in the Great Jin Dynasty for raw silk salt tea and the like, the condition is that his eldest grandson is allowed to provoke the eldest grandson of the grandfather of the country, and the two will compete against each other, regardless of victory or defeat, as long as they fight.

There was no reason why the emperor should not agree.

But the eldest princess was worried.

The Guogong Mansion claimed that the eldest grandson was the eldest son of the eldest lord, Uncle Wang Shuzhao, so the little son of King Jing'an chased Wang Shuzhao on the street, this little prince was born like a cheetah, strong in martial arts, where is Wang Shuzhao's opponent, how can the eldest princess watch her grandson die under the little cheetah.

Therefore, the eldest princess announced that she would hold a crown ceremony for Wang Shuhuai in the palace.

Langya Wang's family crossed to the south and returned to the north, not only to serve the customs of the old country in the north, but also to follow the rules and regulations of the cultural relics in the south of the Yangtze River, the men in the north are strong and strong with eighteen lines of crown salutes, and the south is to be crowned with twenty lines, and the eldest princess follows the old customs of the south of the Yangtze River is not unreasonable.

Wang Shuhuai agreed.

This time, the eldest princess was forced to admit that Wang Shuhuai was the eldest grandson of the kingdom, and it was the inheritance of the bloodline.

But trouble abounds.

The other party saw that Wang Shuhuai was very good, and he was very calm, and he couldn't help but have some dirty thoughts, wanting to anger Wang Shuhuai, so he talked around the capital, if Wang Shuhuai lost, he would give his wife to him as a concubine, this did not anger Wang Shuhuai, who did not move the eight winds, but made the younger brother who was about to drive back from the academy angry.

Xie Yunyou's temperament was already rushing, and he took the initiative to find the prince of Jing'an, and he fought on the street, and was seriously injured by the other party on the ground, becoming a lame, so far he had no chance with the imperial examination, and in the future, Aunt Lu's mother and son became more and more beautiful, and his father hated iron and steel, blaming his younger brother for being impulsive, and the father and son almost turned against each other.

This incident shocked the government and the opposition, and the courtiers crusaded against King Jing'an, and the emperor saw that the other party's martial arts were so strong, and he was worried that Wang Shuhuai would be invincible, so he seized this reason and canceled the competition. Even a year before her death, Wang Shuhuai led the troops to pacify Xichu as a civilian official and avenged his younger brother, but his brother's life was ruined here.

As soon as Xie Yunchu thought of this, a cone pain hit his heart, and he almost cried.

No matter what, she must twist the wheel of fate in this life.

Jiang remembered the eldest princess's attitude towards the second room, and she valued it on her face, but in fact she suppressed it, so she was a little lacking in interest, "What about the whole life, there are so many elders in the family, where is it his turn to give him a junior to do a big job, if the third brother and sister have a heart, the family will have a lively meal." ”

The third wife shook her head and said earnestly, "In any case, Shuhuai's identity is not ordinary, and the twentieth birthday should be held, so let's do it, the first girl will take care of this matter with me." ”

The third wife is so cautious, how can Jiang and Xie Yunchu have anything to say, they just bother.

Xie Yunchu responded in his mouth, but he knew in his heart that Wang Shuhuai's birthday banquet would not be held in the Guogong Mansion.

When the wives dispersed, Xie Yunchu returned to Chunjingtang with a lot of trouble, and as soon as he entered the house, he instructed Mama Lin,

"Mama, hurry up and send someone back to Xie Mansion, ask You'er if he is back, if he returns, let him come to the palace to see me immediately."

Seeing that Xie Yunchu's face was pale and anxious, Mama Lin said worriedly, "The old slave will tell him Uncle Lin to go to Xie Mansion, just a girl, what happened?" ”

Xie Yunchu pressed his eyebrows tiredly, "It's just that my heart hasn't been very steady lately, and I'm a little worried about him." ”

Mama Lin didn't say anything more, and hurriedly sent Xia An to the outer courtyard to find Xie Yunchu's companion Uncle Lin, and took him to Xie Mansion.

It was agreed to go to the shop with Xiao Youran today, Xiao Youran didn't send anyone to pass on the word for a while, Xie Yunchu didn't have the mind, she lay on the rattan chair and pressed her temples, trying to recall the situation in her previous life and ponder countermeasures.

In her previous life, she didn't know exactly what day the Xichu mission came, so she could only find Qiu Sui again, "You go to the front yard to find the Ming steward next to your father-in-law, and ask him what news he has been in Beijing recently?" ”

Qiu Sui went, and after a while, he brought back a small house, which was precisely Minggui's younger brother Mingqi.

The Ming family was originally a wife to accompany the room, and now the father of the family is on an errand for the second master, and one of the two sons is arranged for Wang Shuhuai, and the other stays in the outer courtyard to listen to the errand.

The little guy stood under the corridor of the inverted room, describing what he saw and heard in Beijing.

"The prince of the county prince's mansion and the Zheng Gongzi of the Ministry of Rites and the second son of the Ninghou Mansion went to play polo yesterday, and the place was chosen in the splendid manor in the south of the Beijing suburbs, and the shopkeeper of the manor didn't know that the tendon was twitched, and he actually invited a group of dancing girls at the dinner,"

"God is pitiful, Zhu Shizi was scared away, Zheng Gongzi didn't dare to speak, he found an excuse to leave, and only the tall and mighty Li Ergongzi was left, and those girls rushed towards him together, and were exhaled by Li Gongzi, who did not change his face, and finally folded into a ball like an arhat."

"This matter has been spread as a joke in the capital, and everyone laughs at those people for being strict wives."

When Mama Lin and the others heard this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile, "Good monkey, you say something serious, I don't believe it's really like this, so Zhu Shizi and Zheng Gongzi really ran away?" ”

The little guy was also very clever, knowing that Xie Yunchu and those ladies were handkerchiefs, picking up what she liked to hear, and wanted to relieve Xie Yunchu's boredom, but unfortunately Xie Yunchu didn't want to listen to his nagging, and asked directly,

"What kind of missions have come to Beijing recently?"

The little guy blinked, "Haven't you heard?" ”

Xie Yunchu frowned, it seemed that he had not yet entered Beijing, and ordered Mama Lin to give the little maid a few dimes of broken silver to send him.

At noon, Uncle Lin came back, only thanking Yunyou for not returning home.

Xie Yunchu thought about it, and without saying a word, he wrote a letter and handed it to Uncle Lin.

"Be sure to find someone to personally hand over this letter to You'er, and tell him that his brother-in-law is restoring the fish scale atlas, and these books are very important to him, please be sure to go to the Songshan Academy Library to find this book and copy it to me by hand."

Based on her understanding of Xie Yunyou, he couldn't complete this errand in a month or two, and let him spend it in the academy.

"Let's just say that everything is fine at home, I, who is my sister, don't count on him, I just hope that he will study wholeheartedly and take a fame test, and I also have a backing, so I don't have to go back to Beijing if I have nothing to do."

Wan Wan entrusted Uncle Lin to hire a small servant to watch Xie Yunyou for half a month, just tell him to avoid this matter.

After arranging, she felt a little more steady.

In the afternoon, I slept for an hour, and when the end of the Shen period was not so big, the third sister-in-law, Wang Shuyi, came to visit the door.

She teased Sister Ke'er who had just woken up for a while, and saw that Xie Yunchu was mending Sister Ke'er's clothes, so she came over to talk.

"I heard that Sister Youran came over two days ago, but unfortunately I didn't meet it, I wore the jade earrings she gave me last time, sister-in-law, what does Sister Youran like, I have to return a gift in Ming'er."

Xie Yunchu looked at her quietly, her little face was clear and white, similar to Wang Shuhuai, and she was beautiful, but she did not have Wang Shuhuai's unique temperament, she was much inferior, in her previous life, she was because Wang Shuyi was most like her husband, and she treated her very favorably, and she poured out her heart and lungs, but unfortunately Wang Shuyi was also a rudder, and later saw that she was hopeless, so she befriended Xie Yunxiu.

The reason why Wang Shuyi came to her every day was not because she fell in love with her aunt's cousin Xiao Huaijin, that is, Xiao Youran's sibling brother, and tried every means to inquire about Xiao Huaijin's news from her.

It's a pity that in his previous life, even though Wang Shuyi had a superior background and outstanding appearance, Xiao Huaijin still refused.

Wang Shuyi failed to marry the man she loved, and hated him because of love, but she tossed him.

For the sake of Xiao Huaijin's good, of course Xie Yunchu will not help her match her in this life.

"Youran is not a calculating person, you don't have to return the gift."

Wang Shuyi felt sorry in her heart, "That's not possible, it seems that the eldest lady of my kingdom mansion is rude." ”

"Didn't you give you a box of balm before she gave you a gift in return? Why come back, there's no end. ”

She can't wait for you to come and go, Wang Shuyi shyly pulled the handkerchief, "My box of balm is worthless, where is it more expensive than Sister Youran's gift." ”

Xie Yunchu raised his eyes and looked at his sister-in-law's innocent appearance, and for the first time in his life, he said something choking,

"If you really feel guilty, you might as well return the earrings." The tone is also hard.

Wang Shuyi looked at her in a daze, the gentle and demure second sister-in-law said such a thing in disbelief, tears slowly filled her eyes, she waited for Xie Yunchu to come to comfort her, and finally waited for Xie Yunchu to turn a blind eye, so she could only leave in despair.

Mama Lin sent people away, came in and looked at Xie Yunchu crying and laughing,

"Why is the girl so impulsive today? Be careful that the little ancestor turns around and complains. ”

Wang Shuqin is the ancestor of the third room, and Wang Shuyi is the ancestor of the second room, both of whom were pampered and grew up, and they have never been wiped face.

Xie Yunchu didn't raise his head, "Let her go, I just don't want her to be an eyesore in front of me." ”

In her last life, she was thoughtful about others, and everyone took her contribution for granted, so why should she swallow her anger and be low?

After Xie Yunchu finished speaking, he saw the young lady of the Luohan bed, encouraging her cheeks to spit out two vague words, "Eyesore..."

Xie Yunchu pinched her fleshy cheeks, "Yes, our Sister Ke is also a little eyesore." ”

Sister Ke'er should be a good name, smiling so much that she can't see her teeth.

Xie Yunchu was amused by her, and the gloom accumulated in his heart was swept away.

Another day passed, Wang Shuhuai did not return to the house, Xie Yunchu sent food boxes to Wang Shuhuai as usual, and held the child in the courtyard for dinner.

"Girl, your ghost ball was sold, and Duobao Pavilion sent someone to send a silver ticket to Uncle Lin, a total of two thousand taels were sold, the shopkeeper got five hundred taels, and we got one thousand five hundred taels, which was originally three or seven points, and the shopkeeper said that the seller was happy, so he let us one hundred taels."

Xie Yunchu was a little surprised, handed over the child to Chunqi to hold, and took the silver ticket himself, "Sold so much?" ”

Cheyenne said proudly, "You don't look at how well you carve it, and I heard that the buyers are full of praise." ”

Xie Yunchu held a stack of silver tickets, his expression was slightly trance.

A whole year of hard work, sandwiched with the love of the morning and evening, only in exchange for Wang Shuhuai's painless "heart", and then ended up with a dry end, fortunately in this life she stopped the loss in time, not only exchanged for 1,500 taels of silver tickets, but also changed back to sobriety.

Xie Yunchu did not have a lot of money, when her mother left, she left all the dowry to her and her younger brother, she got half, her younger brother got half, when she got married, the Xie family added another two thousand taels, plus Wang Shuhuai's dowry, all the money added up to her dowry of only 10,000 taels of silver, and most of these dowries were objects.

After being reborn, Xie Yunchu has always wanted to do some small business, but she has no capital, and now this "ghost ball" has become her first pot of gold.

Xie Yunchu slowly paced back to the hall with the silver ticket, thinking about what to do.

Tongdetang at this time.

Dou Keling grabbed the ears of the third master Wang Shukuang, and burst into tears, losing the dignity of the past.

"What kind of muddy soup did you eat, and you secretly spent so much silver, tell me honestly, what did you do."

After three years of marriage, Dou Keling tried his best to pull out a few hundred taels of silver from the public, and now it was okay, and she was squandered by her husband.

The third master, Wang Shukuang, was also very weak-hearted, and hurriedly comforted his wife, "Ling'er, don't worry, listen to me, here's how it happened." ”

"Say, I'll listen." Dou Keling yelled at him, shocking Wang Shukuang's eyes.

In order to alleviate the pain, he dishonestly hugged his wife by the waist with both hands, Dou Keling couldn't stand his teasing like this, his body was half soft, and the strength in his hands was naturally weak.

Wang Shukuang seized the opportunity to explain, "Father confessed yesterday, in a few days it will be my brother's twentieth birthday, and I told our brother and sister to give him a birthday gift, the second brother is the person you know, his eyes are poisonous, and ordinary things can't get into his eyes, no, I and my fourth brother ran all over the Duobao Pavilion in the capital, and only then did I get such a unique ghost ball, you haven't seen it, that thing is exquisitely crafted, there are seven floors inside, listen to the shopkeeper, it took a whole year." ”

Dou Keling didn't have time to listen to him, so he sat on his lap and asked, "How much silver?" ”

Wang Shukuang touched his nose and replied, "A total of two thousand taels, five hundred taels for my mother, five hundred taels for my father, and four hundred taels for me and my fourth brother. ”

"Twenty years old is also considered a crown, the second brother is the backbone of our second room, let's pool money for his birthday, it's not too much, you say."

As soon as Dou Keling heard that she had worked hard and finally entered the pockets of Xie Yunchu and Wang Shuhuai, she felt like she had stripped off a piece of meat, and she punched and kicked her husband.

The father-in-law is a bastard, and he actually pries his sons to do some unreliable things.

The silver has already been spent, the upper is the life of the in-laws, and the lower is his own brother, Dou Keling can't say the bitterness, and finally kicked her husband out of bed with one foot and slept well.

Xu Shiwei is not as fierce as Dou Keling, she just dragged her husband's sleeve and cried, crying so that the fourth master Wang Shutong's brain swelled, the fourth master is a stuffy gourd, he doesn't know how to appease his wife, and finally simply picked up the person and threw it on the bed, and pressed it straight up, then Xu Shiwei only had a breather, so he didn't care about the silver or not.

The next day, Wang Shuhuai returned home at night.

Minggui personally sent this valuable birthday gift to him respectfully.

The tall man changed out of his wide official uniform, wearing a moon-white straight jacket, and his eyes casually glanced at the brocade box.

"What's going on?"

Minggui smiled and opened the brocade box, facing the direction of Wang Shuhuai, and compared his hands, "Second master, please see, this ghost ball is ingenious, rare in the world, it is a birthday gift from the old lady, the third master and the fourth master and the young lady." ”

Wang Shuhuai was slightly stunned, his narrow eyes hung down on the ghost ball for a moment, he has always been happy and angry, but he couldn't see how happy, but then he played with this thing in the palm of his hand, and never put it down, Minggui knew that he was satisfied.

Wang Shuhuai likes this thing is not a secret, when he was a child, he carved three layers of Hetian jade ghost balls, but the ivory ghost ball in front of him has seven layers, lean craftsmen have to say that it takes three months, in exchange for a year of hard work.

The family was full of thoughts, and Wang Shuhuai had no choice but to accept it, "It's too expensive." ”

Minggui smiled, "You are twenty and crown, and it is reasonable for the old lady to be cautious." ”

Wang Shuhuai told Minggui to step back and began to look at the ghost ball in front of him, also called the concentric ball.

This thing is milky white all over, layers of hollowouts, each layer of carved patterns are different, the outermost layer is carved with dragons and phoenixes, he found a small silver needle to move in, the pattern of the second layer slowly turned from the hollow, it is a symbol of the four seasons of wishful spring, summer, autumn and winter four scenes, the third layer of flowers bloom and pedicle, mulberry knots, the fourth layer of flowers is full of moon, the fifth layer of many sons and blessings, the sixth layer of Qin Se and Ming, the innermost layer is the concentric eternal knot, as if also engraved words, the light can not shine in the night, Wang Shuhuai did not look closely.

The pattern is complex, exquisite, and the meaning is good.

Look at this line is beautiful and soft, is it not made by a female craftsman, Wang Shuhuai admired, played for a while, put it on the base, and put it in the dark box behind him.
