"You!" When Mrs. Cao heard this, she pointed at his nose angrily and said, "Jiang Shixun, I have raised you for so many years, and you have raised such an unfilial and rebellious son!"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two was getting more and more intense, Xie Ruzhuo stepped forward to calm Cao's anger and said, "Grandma, calm down, can you listen to me?"
Feeling Xie Ruzhuo's careful comfort, Cao tried hard to control her anger. Her little granddaughter has finally become so close to her, but she can't scare her anymore.
Seeing Cao's acquiescence, Xie Ruzhuo said, "Uncle, don't be too angry. Grandma won't let you go, just because she is worried about your safety. In fact, let me tell you, uncle's profession may not mean that you can't go. My eldest brother took it. Escorting the disaster relief money to the south, I can just go with my uncle on the same journey. There will be officers and soldiers to protect me, so I can rest assured. After arriving in Dianyang, my second uncle will be in charge there, and there will be people following him when he goes in and out, so there will be no danger. .”
Ms. Cao also knew in her heart that once her son decided to do something, eight horses could not pull him back. When she heard what Xie Ruzhuo said, she felt a little shaken, so she said, "Forget it, you are old and I can't control you. If you insist on going, then let it go."
Hearing this, Jiang Shixun was overjoyed. Seeing his old mother like this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He immediately knelt down and said, "If a son is unfilial, he cannot be filial to his mother. But the world is so big that children and ministers cannot do it for their own selfish reasons." Love, even to the point of not caring about the suffering patients. I hope the mother will understand her son's innocent heart. When the son comes back, he will definitely bear the thorn and apologize."
"Okay, I don't need you to apologize. When you come back, if you can find a wife and let me have a grandson as soon as possible, I will be satisfied." Mrs. Cao's heart softened long ago when she saw her son being so low-key and cowardly. At this time, the matter of grandson was brought up again.
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Shixun suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Actually, Zhuoer's suggestion is very much in line with my wishes. I was planning to transport a batch of medicinal materials from the capital. If we can have troops, Protect it, that’s the best thing.”
Seeing Jiang Shixun change the topic again, Mrs. Cao suddenly looked a little worried, but when she thought of her son's temper, she said helplessly, "That's it, it's up to you."
Seeing that Jiang Shixun agreed to go south with the soldiers, Xie Ruzhuo felt relieved.
In his previous life, Jiang Shixun insisted on leaving home and going south, but because he had no one to look after him, he died in a flood! This incident was a huge blow to Mr. Cao. Almost in the same year, Mr. Cao had a heart attack and passed away!
As soon as the imperial decree arrived this morning, Xie Ruzhuo thought of this matter. She was so panicked that she ignored other things and found an excuse to come to Jiang Mansion.
Now that Jiang Shixun is willing to go with him, and with the guards of officers, soldiers and his second uncle, his life must be a little more secure!
Jiang Shixun's wish came true and he coaxed Ms. Cao again and again. Only then did Ms. Cao turn from worry to joy and smile again.
Before leaving the Jiang family, Xie Ruzhuo went to find Jiang Shixun alone.
After learning Xie Ruzhuo's intention, Jiang Shixun was a little surprised for a moment, "What do you want to do with Western Snow Lotus?"
Xie Ruzhuo was a little embarrassed to say it, so he simply said coquettishly, "Uncle, it's useful for me to find this. Please help me keep an eye on it. If you see it, can you bring one back to me?"
"Girl, do you really think that the snow lotus from the Western Regions is so easy to find?" Jiang Shixun laughed a little, but he was helpless about this niece's coquettishness, so he could only wave his hand and said, "That's all, I will help you keep an eye on it, if it is If I'm lucky enough to meet you, I'll bring it back to you, okay?"
"Thank you, fourth uncle!"
Xie Ruzhuo got the accurate information, and immediately smiled and saluted, thanked Jiang Shixun, and then left the Jiang Mansion.
The Dingbei Palace was indeed very efficient in doing things. In just two days, the invitations had been sent to every big family in the capital.
What kind of battles have the dignitaries in the capital not seen in these years? But I am only confused about this charity sale. I can understand what kindness is, and I can probably guess some of the charity sale, but what the connection means is a bit elusive.
However, this charity sale was personally ordered by the emperor. One of the people in charge of this matter was the famous Princess Dingbei, and the other was one of the famous concubines in the capital. Therefore, the big families are also rushing to go there, wanting to have a look.
Early in the morning, Jiangzhu Qianbi dressed up Xie Ruzhuo from head to toe, and finally wrapped her tightly in a cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes as dark as ink.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at the two of them amusedly, but his words were somewhat helpless, "It's just a few steps away, why do you bother?" A winter snowfall two days ago made Xie Ruzhuo's wind and cold worse. Now that she is about to go out, the first thing the second maid is worried about is her illness.
Qianbi said seriously, "Young lady, it's right to wear thicker clothes. The female doctor said that if your cold is no longer bad, then she will add Coptis chinensis to your medicine!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately complained incessantly. Her pleasant appearance had actually produced several girls with sharp teeth. Thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo shook his head helplessly, but still followed the instructions and tightened his hood.
Seeing how cooperative she was, Jiang Zhu held back her laughter and said, "That's good, miss, let's go."
After arriving at the front hall, Xie Ruzhuo was inevitably laughed at by Xie Ruyue. After laughing like this for a while, everyone in the second and third bedrooms arrived.
This time the invitation was sent to the Xie family, and the venue was not in the palace, but it was a rare opportunity for the three-bedroom party.
Xie Rulan was dressed up beautifully by Mrs. Lu. When she saw Xie Ruzhuo looking like this, she curled her lips with some disdain, and then started to show off her hairpin again. A few days ago, the third master bought a batch of rare treasures from merchants in the Western Regions. There were quite a few treasures.
The second lady didn't want to refute her face, so she agreed with her smile and said, "If you don't say anything like Ru Lan, I didn't know there was such a rare object. It really is a treasure from a foreign land, it's very beautiful."
Xie Rulan was a little proud of the second lady's praise. Just when she was about to speak, she saw the concierge coming to report that someone from the Duke's Mansion was here.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Chengjun walking in front, and Jiang Chengye following behind him, looking relaxed.
Jiang Chengjun saw Xie Ruzhuo from a distance and immediately smiled and said, "I thought you hadn't gotten up yet, but you have packed everything." As he said that, he stared narrowly at Xie Ruzhuo's tightly wrapped appearance and said, "It's just that you We are there to participate in a charity sale, not to march to fight. The defenses are so tight, but are we afraid that the enemy will attack the camp?"
Xie Ruyue rarely had an idea with him and immediately said, "No, our Zhuo'er is fighting against Fenghan!"
Seeing the two of them openly teasing him, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little embarrassed on his face. He turned to Jiang Chengye and said, "Why is my cousin here?"
"There are many people at the banquet today, and mother specifically asked us to take good care of you sisters. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find anyone later, so I came to pick you up first." Jiang Chengye still had a gentle smile on his face, and even his words were like a spring breeze. feel.
Mr. Qiao had some urgent matters to deal with at home today, which had to be delayed for a while. Now when I saw someone coming to pick me up from Xie Ruzhuo's grandfather's house, I immediately smiled and said, "That's great. With you here, I don't have to worry about the sisters."
Jiang Chengye bowed humbly and thanked her, and then took Sister Xie Ruyue out with him and got into the carriage.
Ever since Jiang Chengye came in, Xie Ruyin had not taken her eyes away from his face. When she saw several people leaving, she couldn't help but say with envy, "I really envy the second sister and the fourth sister for being able to go there with the people from the Duke's Mansion." However, even though she tried to hide it, she still couldn't hide the jealousy in her eyes.
She thought she didn't need to thank Ruzhuo for being a sister, but just because she was a commoner, she had to lag behind others in everything, which was really frustrating!
Xie Rulan felt unhappy, but when she saw Xie Ruyin's appearance, she immediately became angry. If she couldn't compare with them, could she still be no match for this concubine
"Huh, that's all you've got. If you say something that boosts other people's ambitions and destroys your own prestige, are we, the Xie family, worse than them?" After saying this, she couldn't help but stare at the man who was gradually approaching. The carriage in the distance said bitterly, "These Xie Ruzhuo and Xie Ruyue are not good either. They climbed up high branches and forgot their last names!"
"Oh, what the third sister said is strange. My grandfather's family has also become Gao Zhi'er. Could it be that the third sister is jealous that the fourth sister has a good grandfather's family and feels uncomfortable?"
Xie Rufei couldn't bear to see her look like this the most. She only wanted to be good to herself all day long and couldn't make others comfortable. How could she be worthy of being the daughter of their Xie family
Hearing this, Xie Rulan's expression immediately distorted, and just as she was about to retort, she heard the second lady reproachfully say, "Fei'er, why don't you get on the carriage?"
"Hey, mother, I'm coming right away."
Xie Rufei responded, then glanced at Xie Rulan with disdain, then turned around and got on the carriage, leaving behind Xie Rulan who looked angry.
After a long time, Xie Rulan stamped her foot fiercely, looked back and glared at Xie Ruyin, who was timid and did not dare to get in the car, and said coldly, "What are you still doing? Is it too late to harm me by standing here!"
Mrs. Liu is a concubine, so naturally she can't go. Only Mrs. Lu is in the carriage. Xie Ruyin had no support and did not dare to talk back. She only had tears in her eyes but said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Xie Rulan just felt that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She said viciously, "useless thing" and got on the carriage first.
King Dingbei is away at war all year round, and his mansion in the capital also has a chilling atmosphere.
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo got off the carriage, he was shocked by the palace in front of him. The cold lines and neat internal structure all revealed the attitude of a soldier.
It seemed like a sword that had been unsheathed, with a cold light that was shocking.
Dingbei Prince's Mansion is Ye's natal family. Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo was a little nervous, she couldn't help but smile, patted the two sisters' hands, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, my aunt is here for everything."
Xie Ruzhuo glanced at her gratefully, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xie Ruyue laughing and saying, "Auntie, don't worry about her, she is just a little bully, not afraid of anything. But I, when I think of seeing my aunt, my heart goes crazy. It’s about to jump out.”
When the Ye family and the Jiang family got married, Jiang Mulao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, married Ye Yu, King of Dingbei; and Ye Yu's sister Ye Rui fell in love with the eldest son of the Jiang family. There were two marriages within one month, which was still a rumor at the time. There are beautiful stories all over the capital.
