Xue Huaiyuan only asked Ji Heng to go in, but didn't ask Jiang Li or Xue Zhao to go in with him. Jiang Li's heart was a little worried, and he didn't know what they would say in it.
Xue Zhao saw her anxious expression in his eyes. Xue Zhao pushed the wheelchair and walked to Jiang Li's side and signaled Jiang Li to come over and listen. Jiang Li leaned down and Xue Zhao whispered in her ear: "Dad look at the son-in-law, Naturally, there are a lot of things to explain. He knows your identity, so Dad doesn’t have to worry about anything. Don’t worry about sister, Dad won’t eat brother-in-law."
He shouted a "brother-in-law" very naturally, he didn't know, he thought they were brothers-in-law who had been close together for many years. Jiang Li said in his heart that she was not worried about what Xue Huaiyuan did. Her father had always treated people kindly. What she was worried about was that Ji Heng's temper angered his father.
However, on second thought, when Ji Heng saw Xue Huaiyuan today, even the old General Ji was surprised by his gentle and polite appearance. No matter how much I think about here now, it's a waste of energy, and Jiang Li doesn't even think about it.
Turning his head, he saw Situ Jiuyue staring at her and Xue Zhao with thoughtful eyes. Jiang Li had a heartbreak. She and Xue Zhao's poses at this moment were a bit too close. Situ Jiuyue didn't know that Xue Zhao and Jiang Li were siblings, so she would inevitably think about it.
Standing up straight, she probably caught a glimpse of Situ Jiuyue’s thoughts. On the contrary, she was extremely tolerant. She said to Situ Jiuyue, “Girl Jiuyue, you are not here today to look at Ah Zhao’s wound to facilitate the development of new poisons. Let's go and see A Zhao first."
Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li with a little bewilderment, and didn't understand why Jiang Li suddenly talked about it. But Situ Jiuyue's kindness, he wouldn't refuse, so he smiled and said, "Is it? Doctor Situ, my injury is much better now. If it can be useful for you to refine poison, that would be great."
Situ Jiuyue moved her lips, and finally only said, "Come in with me." Although his face was still cold, his tone was much gentler.
Jiang Li was about to say a few words to General Ji, and he saw not far away. General Ji and Ye Mingyu were talking about what they were talking about. They should be discussing swordsmanship. General Ji blushed with a thick neck and a loud voice. The sky rings.
Lin Yao was sitting cross-legged on a stone bench. On the stone table were plates full of desserts and scented tea. He was eating happily, with pastry crumbs around his mouth. Jiang Li smiled as she watched it. She took out her handkerchief and wiped Lin Yao's mouth, while saying: "Eat slowly, Xiao Yao, didn't the Guogong Mansion prepare these for you? Why did you eat so urgently."
Wen Renyao also picked up a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, and sighed: "Don't say it's a little apprentice, even if he is a teacher, I have never had such a delicious cake in the Guogong Mansion."
Jiang Li wondered: "Why? The Ye family is not short of money and can afford to hire a cook, but the government is not poor, so how can they treat them harshly in terms of food?"
"Ms. Jiang Er, do you really think that Ji Heng will be so considerate to cook this kind of sweets that children and girls like? The chefs in the Guogong Mansion all cook according to the tastes of Ah Heng and the old general. These things are not usually made. Yes. If you want to eat it, you have to buy it on the street. Of course, if A Heng cooks someday, he can eat it. It’s just that A Heng cooks too few days, maybe several times in ten years."
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said funny.
Wen Renyao thought that Jiang Li didn't believe him, so he said quickly: "What I said is absolutely true. Even if you and Aheng are married now, I have to call you sister-in-law in the future. I still have to say about Aheng's problems. "While speaking, he muttered again: "Speaking of which, why did Ah Heng be married to the girl? I thought he would never marry him forever."
"Why can't he get married for the rest of his life?" Jiang Li asked. She thought that Wen Renyao would say that Ji Heng had a bad temperament, but she didn't expect Wen Renyao's answer to be surprising.
"Because of that hexagram!"
Jiang Li asked: "What hexagram?"
Wen Renyao didn't conceal it, only said: "When I gave A Heng a hexagram ten years ago, the hexagram indicated that'born in the winter moon, the prince's face, because of a woman's misfortune, the corpse is ravaged in the wilderness, and the eagle dog pecks at it.' Hearing this hexagram is very fierce. Although Aheng didn’t take this matter to his heart on the surface, I haven’t seen him mention marrying a wife and having children for so many years, so I think maybe he still cares. But I didn’t expect it. He took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry him."
Jiang Li heard the words: "What is the female disaster?"
"It's because of the misfortune caused by women. Hey," Wen Renyao seemed to realize what he said was wrong, and hurriedly remedied, "I'm not talking about the second lady. And that hexagram... may not be allowed. Ah. I am not afraid of myself. My master has also said that the generation of Fuyoumen is inferior to one generation. In my generation, my ability to helpyou has been messed up and it is a shame to the teacher, so I may have made a mistake."
Although Wen Renyao said so, Jiang Li did not relax because of his explanation. For some reason, there was a bad premonition in her heart, like a stone weighing heavily on her chest.
Seeing that Jiang Li's expression still didn't lighten up, he heard people yelling at herself secretly, and suddenly thought of something, she said: "Ms. Jiang Er don't have to worry, this hexagram is not finished yet, it's just one side, and the rest. I… "
Before he finished his words, the door in Xue Huaiyuan's room opened and Ji Heng walked out.
Wen Renyao immediately forgot what he wanted to say, only looked at Ji Heng, and wondered: "Are you actually quite happy?"
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, Ji Heng's face was very good, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, which seemed very relaxed. Her heart fell slightly, and Xue Huaiyuan also walked out immediately. Xue Huaiyuan looked good too. He smiled at Jiang Li and nodded, Jiang Li's heart was completely let go.
She walked to Ji Heng's side and asked softly: "What did father say to you?"
The corner of Ji Heng's mouth twitched: "Say you are arrogant and self-willed, let me bear it more in the future."
Jiang Li glared at him, knowing that what he was telling was not the truth, and how arrogant she was. When it comes to willfulness, Ji Heng is the most willful one. What else does she have to say, Ye Mingyu has already asked everyone to go to the front hall for dinner. Because it is a family banquet, there is no need to restrict anything.
The Ye family is still uncomfortable, and the others are just fine. Old General Ji is hearty and straightforward. Wen Renyao is a familiar acquaintance who likes to join in the fun. Lin Yao is a child. Situ Jiuyue is a bit colder, but he is a man. Doctor, and he is very beautiful, he can bear it. But Ji Heng is not good. Although Ji Heng is also beautiful, his beauty is too aggressive. Although he smiles from the beginning to the end, it always makes people afraid of whether he will drag people out the next moment. Went out.
Moreover, Ye Shijie insisted that Ji Heng had robbed his niece. Originally, his idea was to match Jiang Li and Ye Shijie, so that Jiang Li would marry him in the future, and the Ye family would take good care of him. Who knows how to kill such a person in the middle.
When Ye Mingyu ate, his eyes were full of hatred.
Jiang Li was amused, but to her comfort, Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Zhao, and Ji Heng were getting along well. Because it was her father and younger brother, Jiang Li also knew very well. She could see that Xue Zhao was a foolish boy. Ji Heng had a life-saving grace for him, and his heart had long been biased towards Ji Heng. Although her father did not show special joy, he was absolutely not resistant. It was very natural, and she didn't know if it was Jiang Li's illusion. She even felt that Xue Huaiyuan seemed to like Ji Heng more than she did with Shen Yurong.
Eat this meal, barely count as the host and the host to enjoy it. When the afternoon comes, each will go back. Jiang Li whispered to Ji Heng: "Wait for me outside first. Father A Zhao and I have something to say."
Ji Heng nodded, Wen Renyao and General Ji were already in the carriage outside the door. Situ Jiuyue also put away the medicine box, Ye Mingyu looked outside coldly, thinking what was going on, he was Jiang Li's uncle, but whether it was Ji Heng or Jiang Li, he always whispered to Xue Huaiyuan, could it? What is the relationship between the Xue family and the Guogong Mansion
Ye Shijie is more polite than Ye Mingyu. His time in the court is actually not very long, only one year, but compared with the boy who used to be on the street, because a painting is compared with a teenager who disputes popularity, he is really It's like two people. It is really difficult to keep his heart in the officialdom. He is also growing rapidly. Although he hasn't reached the level of joy and anger, he has also begun to learn to hide his emotions and prevent others from discovering.
Although he felt that a little bit of his own loss might not be hidden from the eyes of the young man in front of him. But he did it anyway, hoping that his posture would be more attractive, and to exit with dignity, it would not be considered as humiliating the Ye Family's lintel.
At the other end, Jiang Li and Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan returned to the house.
Jiang Li closed the door and said, "Father, what did you and Ji Heng say in the room today?"
She is really curious.
Xue Zhao said nonchalantly: "Sister, it was said that the father-in-law told the son-in-law, why don't you understand?"
Jiang Li said angrily: "I didn't ask you again."
In front of Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao, her past temperament was fully revealed, as if she had never experienced those huge injuries. Xue Huaiyuan saw in his eyes, he was also a little startled for a while, but soon he recovered, and smiled: "Your brother is right. I did explain some things to him. After all, he will be handed over to Ari in the future. Give it to him, I'm still worried."
Jiang Li asked nervously, "What happened then?"
"I don't care what other people say about him. After all, there are too many different people in the world. Even if outsiders think this person is a good person, he is not necessarily as kind to his family and friends as on the surface. So Dad doesn't care. Daddy has to read other people’s comments."
"There are many people in the world with integrity, honesty, and kindness, but they may not be liked by Ah Li. After experiencing so many things, I don’t want Ah Li to marry a flawless, noble person. But if Ah That's not the kind of people that raccoons like, and I won’t stop them. A raccoon likes a person, there are always some reasons. I didn’t understand what A Zhao said, how Ji Heng protects you. Today I have a conversation with him , I think you can rest assured."
Jiang Li looked at him in surprise.
"Father can safely hand you over to him." Xue Huaiyuan smiled. His tone didn't seem to be fake, even Xue Zhao was stunned for a while, when he used to have Shen Yurong, Xue Huaiyuan was not so confident.
Xue Huaiyuan also thought of the past.
Jiang Li was born without a mother, a little girl who was carved and jade-shaped. He personally acted as a father and a mother and pulled her to her. When I first went to the poorest of Tongxiang as a child, there was no maid at home, and even the hair Xue Huaiyuan learned to comb Jiang Li. You can imagine how reluctant Jiang Li was when he married Shen Yurong.
At that time, Shen Yurong knelt in front of him and promised that she would definitely be the top pick, so that she would live a good life and take good care of her. But in fact, Xue Huaiyuan was not very happy at that time. He knew that his daughter was not clinging to wealth and wealth, and what he wanted most was not that his husband flew out and became an official wife by himself. But at that time Ari liked Shen Yurong, and Shen Yurong also had the same heart, so Xue Huaiyuan was nothing more.
Today's Ji Heng did not kneel in front of Xue Huaiyuan. He could see the pride of the young man in Ji Heng's eyes, just like Ji Heng in the past. Ji Heng is different from Shen Yurong. The government office is powerful and powerful. He doesn't have to bother to seize it like Shen Yurong. What can he do for Ari
"I guarantee her stability and success in her life, always happy, and never have to beg for others, to be another person, this'other', including myself." Ji Heng said.
His words are not hurried or slow, but they are like the most precious promise.
It was because of Shen Yurong that Ari had done unhappy things for the Shen family. Ji Heng understood this, so he said, let Ari be Ari forever, even if it is for him, there is no need to change.
"I don't understand, what do you like about Ari?" Xue Huaiyuan said, "Because of her appearance? She is no longer the number one beauty in Yanjing now, because of her bravery and intelligence? Ji Heng, a woman like you does not few."
"Master Xue," Ji Heng said with a smile: "I don't like her because I like her qualities. I like her because I like her. If she is murderous, domineering, arrogant, self-willed, and vicious in mind. Woman, if I like her, no matter what kind of person she is, I like her."
He is really unscrupulous, how many people in the world dare to say such a thing? Promises are easy, but sincere promises are too difficult. He is a strong and gorgeous person, so his love is so determined and profound.
"I'm not afraid of the stigma in the world." Ji Heng smiled lightly and said, "I will do the bad things. She can grow up like this forever. Master Xue," he looked at Xue Huaiyuan's eyes, amber. His eyes are sober and almost cold, but his words are so gentle, like a beast showing the softest fur, stubbornly guarding the most precious things, he said: "Shen Yurong can't protect her, I can ."
With this sentence, all Xue Huaiyuan's doubts were gone.
His daughter has seen her being hurt once with his own eyes. For a father, he just wants her to be safe. Although Ari is smart and can do many things, when danger comes, a person who can protect her is better than all.
Xue Huaiyuan said, "You won."
Ji Heng was still smiling.
"Ali will leave it to you, Ji Heng," Xue Huaiyuan said, "Please take good care of her."
The young man faded away from the rumored insidiousness, gentle and unbelievable, he said: "I will take good care of you, because you are her family."
The conversation with Ji Heng seemed to be still in sight. Xue Huaiyuan frowned when he saw Jiang Li in front of him, and said, "But what did you say?"
"Ari." Xue Huaiyuan said: "Daddy is old, maybe I can't walk with you for a long time in the future. He can protect you, dad has confidence in him, you should have confidence in him, and right. You have confidence in yourself."
Jiang Li was silent.
She could see that Xue Huaiyuan really relaxed, and this meeting with Ji Heng went more smoothly than Jiang Li had imagined. Xue Huaiyuan refused to say, and Jiang Li did not continue to question. Dad will not say, natural Dad’s truth, besides, this is the conversation between father and Ji Heng two men, it is the secret between them, and it should be respected.
She told Xue Huaiyuan again and was about to leave. Xue Zhao said from behind: "Sister, help me say goodbye to my brother-in-law."
This kid! Jiang Li was amused, but he accepted it faster than anyone else. After thinking about it, Jiang Li said: "Azhao, you should also thank Dr. Situ on weekdays. They will heal you, and you It's not justified without paying the doctor's bank? This is not the style of the Xue family."
After saying this, she didn't care about Xue Zhao, who was dumbfounded, and went out by herself.
Waiting outside, saying goodbye to Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie, Jiang Li walked to Ji Heng's side. In fact, she still had something to say to Ji Heng, but after hearing Ren Yao they were already in the carriage, it was inconvenient to say anything, and they had to separate. Just before we parted, Jiang Li couldn't help but said, "How can you talk to father like that today, it scared me."
Ji Heng has never spoken to people so politely.
"Because that's your father, because of you." He smiled.
Jiang Li was startled.
Xu is because she was a person who changed for others in her previous life. She knew the kind of sadness and had never been tolerated by others changing for her, but Ji Heng, the villain in everyone's eyes, would change for her.
She laughed, thinking that Ji Heng was really a fairy sent from the sky to make up for her, just like those scholars in the book of wild history, when unfortunately, a stunning enchantress will descend from the sky, add fragrance to his red sleeves, and grind with his ears. After that, the title of the gold list skyrocketed.
It's just that those stunning demon girls didn't end well in the end, and the scholars also abandoned them as an affair, but she silently said in her heart that she would never abandon Ji Heng.
Seeing her staring at him, Ji Heng just smiled, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed her cheek. He made a very light gesture, and sneered, "Stupid and stupid."
very nice.
…
The meeting between Xue Huaiyuan and Ji Heng went so smoothly. After that, Ji Heng became busy, and Jiang Li could not see him again. Zhao Ke returned to work as a gardener in Jiang's house. Tong'er asked the other servants of Jiang's mansion. The people also told Tong'er that Zhao Ke had left before going home for funeral.
This lie is still reasonable and well-founded, so I prepared a pavement to come back from the beginning.
The weather was getting colder day by day. Slowly, Tonger took advantage of the sun to take advantage of the rabbit fur cloak and fox fur cloak out to dry, saying that within a month or two, I was afraid that the city of Yanjing would really enter. It's snowing heavily in winter. It's cold, so prepare these things in advance.
The Jiang family is also very busy, so busy that Jiang Li sometimes can't see Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping for several days. They left early and returned late, and Jiang Li was already asleep when they came back at night, so naturally they couldn't see it. Jiang Li guessed that it was because of Yin Zhan. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Lu also gradually accepted that the Jiang family's uncle was Ji Heng, and gradually began to prepare a dowry for Jiang Li. When Ye Zhenzhen got married back then, her dowry was very generous. After Ji Shuran passed the door, he took those things as his own, thinking that they would all be married to Jiang Youyao when he was a monk, but he never thought there would be such a change. Mrs. Jiang gave the key to the warehouse to Jiang Li and asked Lu to draw up a dowry list.
Jiang Li looked at the dowry list and said that it was not low for the first assistant daughter's share, but it was hard to talk about how high it should be. Many of them were brought by Ye Zhenzhen back then. Jiang Li didn't care too much, she didn't care how much dowry she had. It's just that I feel sorry for the real Miss Jiang Er, and finally took back the things that belonged to her mother, but the person who accepted it was no longer herself, and became herself, the one who occupied the magpie's nest.
The life went so plainly, until Jiang Li got a message from Zhao Ke's mouth. Xiajun Wang Yinzhan doesn't have to go back to the cloud.
When Jiang Li heard the news, it was not very surprising, probably because Ji Heng had reminded her before that the Yin family was not as uncontested as it seemed on the surface. But she still asked: "Why?"
Zhao Ke said: "It is said that it is winter. From Yanjing to Yunzhong, there is heavy snowfall. It is not easy for soldiers and horses to go, waste food and payment, and there is no need to guard the clouds. On the contrary, we should beware of the resurrection of the king's power. Yanjing city is the most dangerous."
Jiang Li smiled. This reason is not bad, but it is not good either. It can be seen that Yin Zhan really wants to stay in Yanjing City, and Yin Zhan should have seen from the last time that Emperor Hong Xiao gave the marriage, Emperor Hong Xiao was suspicious of the Yin family. Don't hide your ambitions at all, even if it is obvious, you still have to stay.
Yin Zhan is not the same as Cheng Wang. Emperor Hong Xiao has prepared for how many years Cheng Wang has made a bargaining chip in order to deal with Cheng Wang. But Yin Zhan returned to the city of Yanjing a long time later. After so many years, the Central Government almost forgot about this person. If it hadn't been for his shocking bravery in this redress, no one in the court would take him seriously. Regarding Yin Zhan, Emperor Hong Xiao didn't prepare or understand. He couldn't act rashly, like the method of catching turtles in the urn and waiting for others to throw themselves into the net, which did not apply to Yin Zhan.
They are all in a stalemate.
There were some worries in Jiang Li's heart, so that the days of peace would end at some point. Once it ended, the Guogong Mansion and Jiang's family were bound to be implicated.
I hope nothing goes wrong.
…
In the deep palace, the flowers are withered, and after the prosperity, they are strangely clear.
Almost all the flowers in the garden withered. Even those evergreen trees, in the gloomy weather, seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. Winter in Yanjing City is coming soon, and winter has always passed for a long time. People always miss the early spring before the winter is over.
The young emperor stood with his hands behind, guarded by heavy soldiers outside the tomb. He stood in front of the tombstone, in the tomb, where his biological mother, Concubine Xia was buried.
In the deep palace, there are various rumors about Xia Guifei. Many old people in the palace either died or scattered, and very few remained. So no one mentions the Fanghua of the past. Emperor Hong Xiao was born as a prince and had seen the changes in the Beiyan court. He should have been calm about these things, but as a son, remembering his mother is a matter of course.
Unlike the pomp and beauty of Liu Taifei when she was young, and the gentle and dignified empress dowager when she was young, Guifei Xia was sly and smart, intelligent and beautiful, and treated her servants graciously. She was clever, independent, and knew how to advance and retreat. She was an interesting person, which the emperor admired. she.
But it is probably a curse that the confidant's fate is a curse, Xia Guifei died of illness shortly after giving birth to him. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't know what his biological mother looked like. He can only find the appearance of Concubine Xia in the previous paintings of the painter in the palace, and can only piece together the appearance of Concubine Xia based on the rumors that do not know the true or false, but only a few words. But even so, whenever he stood in front of the grave of his biological mother, the memory in his mind was just blank.
The first emperor gave him to the queen, who had a prince at that time and was not close. Later, the prince died early, and the queen even thought that he was the murderer, until the imperial physician came to clear him of his grievances, proving that the prince was born with a congenital deficiency and died of a sudden heart disease.
But at that time, everyone, including his father, looked at his skeptical look, and he still couldn't forget it. Sometimes awakened from a dream in the middle of the night, the deep grief and despair can be vividly remembered.
Then, the emperor appointed him as the prince, and Cheng Wang's mother and son became more and more arrogant. In order to keep her position, the queen used him as a bargaining chip to fight against Cheng Wang's mother and son. For the time being on the same boat, he and the queen can't tear their faces apart, at least they have to show motherly kindness and filial piety, so that they can't let people take advantage of the loopholes.
Emperor Hong Xiao couldn't remember when he and the Queen Mother looked so kind, as if they were a real mother and son. But in his heart, the past has never passed, he has never really gone out of those things, so when he heard Jiang Li's experience, he would be so angry. He gradually learned how to be a real emperor, but how to be a son was deprived of power when he was very young.
"Mother concubine," the emperor's expression was in a trance, with a hint of fragility that was not easily detectable, and his voice seemed to be at a loss. He said, "How are you doing now?"
…
In the Ci Ning Palace, with green smoke curling up, Mei Xiang stepped forward, walked to the person who was sitting kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, and whispered: "The empress dowager, the spy has just returned, your majesty has gone down to the tomb of the imperial concubine, Xia Guifei."
The queen mother who was wearing silk clothes was beating Muyu, and her face was filled with smoke, and a soft smile appeared on her face.
She sighed faintly: "I really don't know how to raise a white-eyed wolf."
