On this day, Xie Ruzhuo accompanied Xie Ruyue to chat in the boudoir, and sorted out her wedding clothes and other belongings. Unknowingly, it was already dusk.
Xie Ruzhuo was about to order someone to serve dinner when he saw Hong Rui walking in from outside and said with a solemn expression, "Miss, there is news."
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately knew that it was a letter from Tianmen, and immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Second sister, sit down first, I'll come as soon as I go."
Xie Ruyue nodded in agreement and watched her go out.
After returning to Tingfeng Courtyard, before Xie Ruzhuo asked, Hongrui took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Xie Ruzhuo and said, "This is just from the old ghost, saying it is urgent from eight hundred miles away." Express.”
Xie Ruzhuo took it and hurriedly unfolded it. After seeing the contents inside, he instantly showed a bloodthirsty smile.
Although there are many words in the letter, it only says one thing from beginning to end. The king of Yue died, and the successor to the throne was undecided. The second prince of Yue raised troops to besiege the city, imprisoned other princes, and forced the courtiers to support him as emperor.
Now, the Shen family's previous prediction in the letter has come true.
Xie Ruzhuo calculated the days, gave some instructions in a low voice, and finally said, "Remember, don't be careless about this matter, don't let anyone find out that we were the one who got it done."
Hongrui smiled happily and said, "Miss, don't worry while I do the work."
After Hong Rui left, Xie Ruzhuo walked to the candlelight, burned all the letters, and then stared at the cluster of flames in a daze.
If this thing comes to pass, Xie Jiali will be one step closer to getting rid of a serious problem in his heart!
According to the rules, the day before the bride gets married, her sisters must stay with her to keep vigil. Xie Rulan was jealous in her heart, but she didn't even show her face. Xie Ruyin, on the other hand, came with a timid look on her face. She first apologized to Xie Ruzhuo with nice words, and then said in a trembling voice, "Tomorrow, the second sister will get married. I'm here to congratulate the second sister."
Xie Ruyue had been annoyed with her because of the incident where she poured boiling tea on Xie Ruzhuo earlier. Now that he saw her coming, he didn't look good and just said, "No need, as long as you don't pour tea on me at my wedding, I will thank you."
Xie Ruyin made a fuss and left without staying any longer.
When Xie Rufei came, she happened to bump into Xie Ruyin's leaving figure, and immediately snorted coldly, "Bah, shameless little prodigal hoof, you really deserve to be born to me!"
Xie Ruyin's steps trembled and she walked even more hastily.
Seeing Xie Ruyin leaving, Xie Rufei snorted and walked into the room, with a smile on her face.
"Congratulations to my second sister."
Seeing Xie Rufei, Xie Ruyue stood up and helped her, smiling and saying, "Sit down quickly."
While talking, he ordered the maid to watch the tea.
Xie Rufei took out the gift she had prepared and said, "I don't have any savings. Second sister, please don't dislike my light gift." What she gave was a pair of bracelets. It was not the best, but it was also the best purple jade.
Xie Ruyue naturally wouldn't dislike it. After thanking her, the two sisters started talking about other things.
Xie Rufei was young after all, so she soon started talking about Su Bixin, saying in a hateful voice, "I can only hate that vixen for being so cunning. Sooner or later, I will dig out her heart to see if she is a sinister person!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruyue was immediately startled. The current Xie Rufei was too violent and very different from the previous one. Xie Ruyue felt uncomfortable and comforted, "Fifth sister, don't take it too seriously. After all, she is just a concubine. As long as she doesn't make too much noise, our family can still afford her a bowl of rice. But if she makes trouble again, Grandma couldn’t tolerate her in the first place.”
Xie Rufei was still a little angry, which made Xie Ruyue's heart tremble. For some reason, she always felt that Xie Rufei seemed a little weird now.
Not long after, Xie Ruzhuo came back and put away the thoughts that had just arisen in Xie Ruyue's mind.
In the second half of the night, Xie Rufei felt sleepy and had already gone to bed, leaving only sister Xie Ruzhuo in the house.
At the fourth watch, Mrs. Xi came to knock on the door and happily helped Xie Ruyue put on makeup and change clothes.
Xie Ruzhuo watched from the side and saw that Quanfu's mother-in-law had scattered Xie Ruyue's hair and combed it carefully while still mumbling, "After combing it to the end, the couple raised their eyebrows together -"
Her eyes suddenly became moist.
The face of the woman in the mirror was carefully painted with makeup and powder, and she looked like a beautiful girl with natural beauty.
Mrs. Qiao walked in from the outside, and after checking that all the items had been placed, she walked to Xie Ruyue, touched her face and said, "Good boy."
With just one sentence, Xie Ruyue couldn't help but throw herself into Mrs. Qiao's arms and cried, "Mother-"
After all, it was her daughter's family, and Xie Ruyue felt depressed at the thought of being married to someone else from now on. Even though that person is a wishful man, after all, he has to go to someone else's home to live in a low life. How can he be as happy as being in his own home
Mrs. Qiao touched her head and comforted her with tears in her eyes, "Good boy, don't cry, today is a good day for you." After saying that, she brought the phoenix crown over and put it on for her personally, saying, "Don't I'm afraid, even if you get married, you will always be the most delicate daughter of the Xie family, and no one can bully you."
Xie Ruyue allowed Mrs. Qiao to put on the phoenix crown for her, and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said with a smile, "Look, no one among the newlyweds is more beautiful than our Yue'er."
Xie Ruyue blushed again at her words and said angrily, "Mom is teasing me again."
Xie Ruzhuo, on the other hand, stood aside and said with a smile, "Mom, the second sister is crying like a baby. You still say she is beautiful, but I can't stand hearing it anymore."
Hearing this, Ms. Qiao immediately smiled and held her in her arms. She looked at the two sisters and said, "Zhuo'er is jealous. Don't worry, you are as beautiful as Yue'er."
The mother and daughter made trouble for a while, and by the time everything was sorted out, it was getting darker. The gongs and drums outside are noisy, and the playing and playing are very lively.
No matter how much she was reluctant to give up, Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to cover Xie Ruyue with the bright red hijab after hearing the words "The new uncle is coming." She also took an apple and stuffed it into her hand, reluctant to give up. He smiled and said, "With the peace fruit in hand, the bride will have a safe and smooth life."
A man walked in outside the door, but it was Xie Huainan. He looked at Xie Ruyue under the red hijab and said softly, "Good sister, brother will see you out."
Xie Ruyue lay obediently on Xie Huainan's back, and before she knew it, a tear fell on his shoulder.
Xie Ruzhuo stood in the crowd, watching Xie Huainan send Xie Ruyue to the main hall, and seeing Xiao Junhe holding her hand to say goodbye to her parents, and her eyes became sore.
Even though she was reluctant to give up, her sister finally got rid of the fate of the previous life and gained her own happiness.
It wasn't until the sound of gongs, drums and suona gradually faded away that Xie Ruzhuo supported Qianbi and slowly returned to his yard.
The huge Xie Mansion was all red, as if it was celebrating Xie Ruyue's marriage. Xie Ruzhuo felt a little depressed when he saw it. Just as he was about to go back to his yard, he saw Lin Mu running from the opposite side, looking out of breath, "Miss, the old man is calling you to go to the study."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately followed Lin Mu to Ning Xi Hall.
The hustle and bustle in the front hall has dissipated, and the Xie Mansion has returned to calm. Although some guests were still in the front hall, they were all accompanied by Mrs. Qiao and Xie Shenyan.
Xie Shenyan was marrying his daughter today, so he did not go to court, but Xie Shenxing wanted to go.
As soon as he entered the study, he saw Xie Shenxing's happy face, but Xie Shengli was unfazed. When Xie Ruzhuo saw this, he knew that the news had reached the court.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Xie Shenxing vividly described what happened in the court today.
Emperor Jing has been investigating the affairs of the Yue Kingdom these days, but not to mention anything else, there is not even a hint of trouble.
Who would have expected that this morning, news of civil strife in Vietnam and the enthronement of the second prince would be received. The Minister of War also sent an urgent military report from eight hundred miles away, saying that the second prince had sent 100,000 elite troops to march straight to Mobei!
Now King Dingnan is not in Mobei because he has a wife. King Dingbei, on the instruction of Emperor Jing, quietly went to Mobei to take charge.
The Yue army did not expect our country to be prepared, so they suffered a heavy loss in the first battle. But they did not give up, but camped fifty miles away, preparing for the next attack.
And all of this is thanks to the trick the Shen family made a few days ago.
Shen Yuming was immediately overjoyed and took the lead in shouting, "My emperor is so wise that he has demoralized the enemy troops. It is a blessing to our court!"
The courtiers who were allied with the Shen family immediately asked for a reward on behalf of the Shen family, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen has made a huge contribution this time."
Although Emperor Jing had a smile on his face, if he got closer, he would definitely notice the chill radiating from his body.
After a long time, Emperor Jing finally laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Shen Qing has done a great job this time and must be rewarded!"
After saying this, Emperor Jing said a few more words to the eunuch on the side, and then heard the eunuch shouting in a sharp voice, "Reward - Shen Yuming, the minister of Guanglu Temple, a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of brocade." , ten loads of polished rice; and he was also granted the title of Left Inspector of the Inspectorate!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers immediately looked at each other. The previous ones were easy to say, but this time because of this twist, Shen Yuming was promoted to two levels in a row. This is the emperor's grace!
Shen Yuming was even more excited and kowtowed to thank him on the spot.
After the dynasty was dismissed, Emperor Jing called several military officers and generals to the imperial study. Although Xie Shenxing was a civil servant, he could not stand up to his wide network of contacts.
It wasn't until noon that the person from the imperial study came out. Xie Shenxing immediately invited an acquaintance to quietly inquire about the news.
That person was a disciple of the Xie family. Hearing Xie Shenxing's inquiry, he whispered, "When you go back, just tell Mr. The holy color is so gloomy.”
Xie Shenxing felt completely relieved after hearing these four words. He thanked the man again and again and returned to Xie's Mansion.
After hearing what Xie Shenxing said, Xie Ruzhuo chewed on these four words again, and then said with a low smile, "With such a courtier who can predict events like a god, no king will look good." ?”
Xie Shengli stroked his beard and said, "Next, we just need to set a fire to add beauty to the Shen family's scenery."
"Yes, the fire cooks the oil, and the flowers bloom." Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile on his face, and in a change of voice, "It's a pity that the oil will eventually run out, and the flowers will wither. By then, it will be the Shen Family Hulala Building Time to fall!”
The Yue Kingdom was planning to attack our country, but the Shen family had predicted it in advance. Who knew who had heard it or heard it, and it only took two or three days for it to spread throughout the capital.
And there is a folk song quietly circulating among the people, which goes like this: "It is the king who reigns in the world, and it is the Shen family who saves the ancestors!"
When the song reached the palace, Emperor Jing was so angry that he smashed an inkstone in the imperial study room. But after smashing it, he showed a bloodthirsty smile.
"The Shen family of the savior? What a Shen family!"
Xiao Junxi's expression remained unchanged at the side and she simply said, "Why is my father so angry? There are countless rumors among the people."
"But things about crossing the country cannot be faked!" Emperor Jing snorted, and slowly walked back to his seat, picked up the urgent documents, handed them to Xiao Junxi and said, "Come and see look."
Xiao Junxi took it as instructed, looked at them one by one, and finally said, "When did the military strength of the Yue Kingdom become so strong?"
