After listening to the story of Jianing County's story about their distress, Tang Shuyi was really frightened, and she immediately asked, "Have you ever been injured?" ”

The county lord of Jianing knew that what she was asking about you was actually mainly asking Xiao Yuchen, so he said, "Madame, don't worry, the prince is all right and not injured." Two of his guards were wounded and rested for two days. ”

Tang Shuyi relieved himself a little, and asked again: "That mountain bandit searched all your belongings, does he still have silver on him?" ”

The county lord of Jianing replied with a smile: "The local soldiers sent soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, and the cottage was captured, and our belongings were returned. ”

Tang Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's thanks to the county lord who came to tell me this, otherwise I really don't know." He also wrote a letter a few days ago, and it didn't say a word. ”

"The prince should be afraid of your worries." The county lord of Jianing said with a smile.

Tang Shuyi smiled and took a sip of tea, "The county lord will stay in Beijing for a while this time, right?" ”

Lord Jianing smiled again, "My brother and I miss my grandmother, and I will accompany her for a while this time." ”

Tang Shuyi looked at the old Duchess of Liguo with a smile, "The county lord's sisters and brothers are all filial children, you are blessed." ”

The old Duchess Liguo also smiled, "These two children have no mother since they were young, and they are thousands of miles away from Shangjing, and I am also worried all day long. I'm going to keep them a little longer this time when they're coming. ”

Tang Shuyi echoed yes in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, the two sisters and brothers of the lord of Jianing County, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger was eleven or twelve years old, and they had come all the way from the fiefdom to Shangjing, and there was no elder to follow, so it was definitely not as simple as missing the old Duchess of Liguo.

It's just why, she didn't speculate much, after all, it was someone else's business, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it. After chatting for a while, Tang Shuyi had a good impression of the county lord of Jianing, the little girl was not very old, but she spoke and did things in a measured manner, and she was calm and calm.

It's like encountering something as big as a mountain bandit, she didn't cry, but tried to escape, and the average little girl probably couldn't do it.

The Duchess of Lao Liguo and the county lord of Jianing didn't stay long, and left after a while, and Tang Shuyi sent them to the gate. The county lord of Jianing helped the old Duchess of Liguo into the carriage, and then went up by himself.

The car started and slowly drove away from the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the old Duchess Li Guo looked at the county lord of Jianing and asked, "What do you think of the Marquis of Yongning?" ”

The county lord of Jianing thought for a while, "Mrs. Hou is very kind. ”

Old Duchess Liguo snorted, "Tang Guogong gave birth to five sons, so he has such a daughter, and she is still a concubine, and she has been spoiled like eyeballs since she was a child." Later, she married Xiao Huai, and Xiao Huai was also wholeheartedly devoted to her, not to mention the concubines in the Hou Mansion in Beijing, even if she didn't have a room. It's just that Xiao Huai died on the battlefield later..."

She sighed and said: "I heard that she was sad all day long because of Xiao Huai's death, but now she looks a lot more cheerful, and I think it's because she is just a mother." ”

Saying that, she took the hand of the county lord of Jianing, and said: "The backyard of the Hou Mansion of Yongning is simple and there is no fighting, Mrs. Hou looks good and is a good talker, that Shizi heard that he reads well, and worships Fang Daru and Lord Qi as teachers, although it cannot be said that he will be able to achieve much in the future, but it must not be bad." If he can be a knight in the future, it's really a good marriage. ”

When the county lord of Jianing heard these words, he was not shy, but thought about it and asked: "It has been three years since the Marquis of Yongning died, why hasn't Xiao Shizi been knighted yet?" ”

"I don't know this," the old Duchess of Liguo thought for a while, "Is it because of this that the second prince is always the enemy of the Yongning Marquis Mansion?" ”

The county lord of Jianing nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart, there should be other reasons, maybe it was related to the death of Xiao Huai, Marquis of Yongning, or maybe it was related to the military power in the northwest.

She knew that the old Duchess of Liguo was not very wise, otherwise her uncles would not be what they are now. But my grandmother was genuinely kind to their brother and sister.

Tilting his head and leaning on the shoulder of the old Duchess of Liguo, the county lord of Jianing said softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, my brother and I have already arrived in Shangjing, at least our lives have been saved." As for the matter of his younger brother's attack on the lord, he planned slowly. ”

When the old Duchess Liguo heard her words, her nose was sour and tears flowed, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "It's also useless for me, if your grandfather is still here, then how dare Li Chengfeng do this to your brothers and sisters." Now your uncle can't speak in front of the emperor again, alas! ”

The old Duchess of Liguo sighed heavily, and the county lord of Jianing gently patted her on the back, and comforted her in her mouth, "My younger brother is the eldest son, he has no disability, he is not stupid, and he has good conduct. ”

Duchess Lao Liguo patted her hand again, "It's good that you are a smart one." ”

The county lord of Jianing smiled bitterly, everyone said that she was smart, but her intelligence was cultivated in trembling since she was a child.

"Tomorrow, I will take my younger brother into the palace to meet the emperor and the queen," she said softly: "When the time comes, I will tell you what happened to me and my younger brother over the years, and see what happens to the emperor." ”

It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but if they don't say it, their sister and brother's lives can't be saved, and if they don't say it, their brother can't attack the lord. She has been in the fiefdom and has only come to Beijing a handful of times, so she doesn't know the emperor's temperament. But as long as she is in a high position, she doesn't like the people below to play tricks with her, so she plans to play a straight ball in front of the emperor and empress tomorrow.

Besides, she and her younger brother together are not half of the emperor's age, they play tricks in front of the emperor, it is estimated that the emperor can see it at a glance, it is better to go straight and sell miserably.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, we'll find a way." The old Duchess of Liguo said.

The county lord of Jianing nodded, and the old Duchess of Liguo said again: "What do you think of the prince of Yongning?" If I can, I'll go to Mrs. Yongning Hou to find out. ”

"Let's talk about it." The main road of Jianing County.

They dun the prince's mansion, although it is only a palace with no real power, and it is a clan separated from the emperor by a generation, but after all, it is the prince's mansion, and I don't know if the emperor will have any taboos. If there is no taboo on the emperor's side, the Marquis of Yongning's mansion....

Thinking of Xiao Yuchen, she lowered her eyes, and listened to the old Duchess of Liguo say again: "This matter can't wait too long, how many people in Beijing are staring at the position of Mrs. Hou Shizi of Yongning, I'm afraid I'll miss it if I start late." ”

The county lord of Jianing couldn't help laughing, "If you miss it, change it." ”

Duchess of Lao Liguo: "In the whole of Shangjing, there are really few people who are as quiet as the backyard of the Yongning Marquis Mansion. ”

"I'll have to see what the emperor means." The county lord of Jianing reminded.

The old Duchess of Liguo suddenly said, "Yes, yes, then wait a minute." Anyway, the prince of Yongning Hou is not in Beijing now. ”
