But it was said that Mrs. You took the second sister and the third sister out of the carriage and entered the Ning Mansion through the corner gate that they had been going in and out of for more than ten years. They were waiting for the gatekeeper's reply.
Wearing an indigo-blue silk jacket, You looked around at the familiar plants and trees in the courtyard, her face paused slightly, and she felt complicated.
Second Sister You seemed to realize her sister's complicated emotions. There was a hint of worry on her beautiful face, and she said softly: "Sister..."
Youshi looked at Third Sister You on the side, sighed quietly, and said: "Third Sister, you insist on letting me come over. Now I feel like there is no place to stand."
After the three sisters returned to the house yesterday, they unexpectedly received an invitation personally sent by Ping'er.
Sanjie You was wearing a pink dress. Under her two willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her auspicious eyes showed a smile, and she said in a charming voice: "What's wrong with standing here? My sister has lived here for more than ten years, but instead
Uncle Heng has only lived here for a few days. Besides, Grandma Heng invited you to come over. What's the point of being embarrassed? It's better to come in openly from the beginning. You have to come in through the corner door. You're so sneaky.
It’s like stealing from someone else.”
Youshi's heart skipped a beat at the word "stealing someone", and the white face of a beautiful young woman became a little hot.
After a moment, I realized that what my third sister said, stealing from others meant stealing things.
A look of anger appeared on her face as beautiful as a peach and plum, and she said: "Third sister, you have such a mouth. No wonder that person said yesterday that you didn't leave room for others to speak and asked you to study more."
She, the third sister, has a fierce temperament, and sometimes she can't stand it.
Hearing You's words about that person, Third Sister You's beautiful eyes under her thin eyebrows narrowed for a moment, and she said with a chuckle: "Why didn't I study? When I went back after dinner yesterday, I still had his book of Three Kingdoms.
I’ve read it and it’s really good. I’m going to ask him for advice.”
But the words of that person came to mind. She actually didn't sleep all night last night, and she slept for a while in the early morning.
That sentence is always lingering in my heart, "People can't choose what family they will be reborn in, but they can study and become what kind of person they are."
This sentence is so well said, every time I taste it, I feel warm in my eyes.
I heard that Uncle Heng was originally from a side branch.
"It's just that, for a girl like mine, you can't take the imperial examination even if you study, and you can make a career..." Third Sister You's bright eyes under her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows looked into the distance, holding a handkerchief in her hand, feeling light in her heart.
Sighed lightly.
She feels a little inferior...
Second Sister You's bright eyes moved slightly, and she noticed Third Sister You's sad mood, and said softly: "Third Sister, the eldest sister is joking with you, and besides, I'm not talking about you..."
She could tell last night that something was wrong with her sister, and early in the morning she found tears on the pillowcase, but her little sister had a strong temper, so it was hard for her to talk about it.
Youshi also said: "Third sister..."
"I know that Uncle Heng didn't mean that I don't have a tutor, but he meant to give me some advice." A smile appeared on Sister You's face as charming as a peony.
But, what can she do?
Reading can change her situation of being criticized by others? It sounds so easy to say, but maybe it is just so easy in the eyes of such people.
At this moment, the sound of jingling bells was heard in the distance, and Qin Keqing, accompanied by Baozhu, Ruizhu and the two wives, followed the mandarin ducks to the backyard.
Seeing the more mature and beautiful of the three sisters of the You family from a distance, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Is this Grandma You? I even mentioned you to Sister-in-law Feng before."
Yuanyang also stepped forward, smiled softly and said: "Grandma You, this is Grandma Qin."
Youshi raised her head and looked at Qin Keqing. She was stunned for a moment, her heart was shaken, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
A thought flashed through my mind, "With such a beautiful and beautiful person, no wonder..."
No wonder her husband went crazy and colluded with bandits.
Qin Keqing is dressed in fine clothes at the moment. Although she is a young girl, she already shows some grace. She looks like a gorgeous flower of wealth in the world. At this moment, she is smiling beautifully, her beautiful eyes are flowing, and her aura that overwhelms all other beauties is silently dissipated.
come out.
Second Sister You's crystal-clear jade face is also somewhat stunning. There are very few beautiful women who don't realize how beautiful they are. However, they are also very sensitive to women of the same type with superior looks.
The comparison of "who is more beautiful between me and Mr. Xu" is almost daily.
Even Third Sister You looked at the beauty opposite her with bright eyes, pursed her pink lips, and thought to herself, no wonder...
Qin Keqing stepped forward and took You's slender hand, smiled and said, "How much older is my sister? If you don't mind, can I call you Sister You?"
In fact, You's age is actually not very old, less than thirty.
Youshi was also a little overwhelmed by Qin Keqing's enthusiasm and said: "How does this make..."
It's not that Youshi has never seen this kind of battle. She has been Mrs. Gaoming for a few years since she was recuperated. What big scene has she not seen?
I just felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Qin Keqing chuckled and said comfortingly: "Sister You, we shouldn't take those big things that happened to men in the past too seriously. You have served the old lady for so many years. How can others write it off?"
Hearing this, Youshi sighed and said, "Then I'll ask you to call me Sister Qin."
This scene is somewhat strange. The two grandmothers are standing hugging each other. There is an unexpected harmony in this palace.
And in that parallel time and space without Jia Heng, this was originally a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Qin Keqing then looked at Second Sister You and Third Sister You, and said with a smile: "These two are probably Second Sister You and Third Sister You."
Second Sister You was a little shy, but she was generous and pulled Third Sister You forward. The two of them said, "I have met Grandma Heng."
Qin Keqing took Sister You's arm with one hand and said with a chuckle: "I heard Sister-in-law Feng said that the two sisters are like spring flowers and autumn moon. Sure enough, we have met today."
Second Sister You looked at the slender, bright and charming woman opposite and thought to herself, this Grandma Heng is really a kind person. She thought that only such a fairy could be worthy of Uncle Heng.
Well, this inexperienced second sister of the You family was also deceived by Sister Feng's smiling face in the original novel.
However, although Qin Keqing is mostly polite nowadays, he has no harmful intentions.
Yuanyang saw several people talking and said softly: "Grandma You, the old lady is waiting in Huifang Garden. Let's go over."
Youshi nodded and said, "It's been a while since I said hello to the old lady. Yuanyang, is the old lady still strong?"
After all, I have lived in Dongfu for more than ten years, and my familiarity has not become unfamiliar because of Jia Zhen. Of course, in another three to five years, it is hard to say.
When You said this at the moment, she had no intention of relieving the pressure in front of Qin Keqing. To put it bluntly, she was lacking confidence, so she used this method to cheer herself up.
Generally speaking, except for Jia Heng, no one else would understand this kind of psychological self-suggestion.
While a few people were talking, they walked along the corridor towards Huifang Garden. I think I will melt with you for a long time.
Yuanyang sighed and said: "My body is strong and strong, but today, it was supposed to be a festive day, but..."
With that, he told the story of Jia Lian's kidnapping.
"The old lady is feeling depressed right now. After Grandma You goes, she can relax a little more." Gu Bao said.
Youshi was stunned and exclaimed: "Brother Lian... he is always good, why? Where's Feng Yatou?"
Second Sister You and Third Sister You also looked at Yuanyang and Qin Keqing with doubts on their faces.
Yuanyang said: "Uncle Heng is now in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and is going forward to find a way to save people."
Qin Keqing answered: "My husband said that Brother Lian's life should not be in danger for the time being."
Youshi recited a Buddhist line and said, "He knows it well. Since he said this, I think Brother Lian must be in danger."
Although Qin Keqing felt that the tone of You's words was a bit strange, she didn't think much about it for a while.
Because Huifang Garden has arrived ahead.
Not mentioning the "reunion of old friends" between Mrs. You and her second sister, third sister, Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang, but saying that Jia Heng was in the front yard.
After receiving the gift list from the waiter, Cai Quan, who was standing beside him, his expression paused, his breathing was a little heavy, and he said: "What are these people doing to give such a heavy gift?"
On the gift list, there were 200,000 taels of silver, 50,000 bolts of silk, six antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and jade objects, and thirty good horses worth a thousand taels.
There were also ten Yangzhou thin horses from Suzhou. At the same time, Li Jinzhu also gave a golden Buddha as a congratulatory gift.
Jia Heng glanced at Cai Quan, who was breathing heavily, and said in a deep voice: "If it's money to buy your life, what does this mean? But who dares to accept it?"
Cai Quan's eyes flashed and he said: "These people are really rich."
"It's all ill-gotten gains that are harmful to society." Jia Heng sneered and said, "Besides, everyone is watching from above and below."
His eyes lingered on Xie Zaiyi, the five or six primary schools of the Beijing camp, and Shen Yan of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division who were surrounding him for a moment, and then he said to Cai Quan in a loud voice: "Brother Cai, mobilize that team of people." , guard the front yard, wait a moment, and follow my orders."
Cai Quan had previously assigned a general banner man to divide into two teams. One team secretly protected Xu Lu, and the other team was to protect him. Although there were not many people, they had complete weapons and weapons. They were all returned from the Cuihua Mountain suppression of bandits. A good soldier in the army.
Xie Zaiyi said: "Sir, is someone here to kick the shit out of you?"
Jia Heng said: "The big shots from the Sanhe Gang are coming. There are a lot of gang members in Ningrong Street right now. Brother Xie, if I give you a bow and arrow, can you guard the gate?"
Hearing this, Xie Zaiyi looked fearless and said with a heroic smile: "Let them come over! Come and shoot one, two and shoot a pair!"
"Okay, come here, bring me my horned dragon bow and two pots of arrows!" Jia Heng looked excited after hearing this.
He had no doubt that Xie Zaiyi could do it. His arrows shot at the inner guard that day, and his archery skills were amazing!
After a while, a servant brought the bow and arrows.
The horned dragon bow has two stones and two pots of arrows.
It turns out that the bow was given as a gift from General Shenwu Feng Tang, and Jia Heng never took the time to practice archery.
Jia Heng handed over the horned dragon bow and arrows, looked solemnly, and said in a clear voice: "Later, if there is a conflict, Brother Xie will aim at the door and cover it to close the door!"
With Xie Zaiyi here, he would at least hold the door for a while, buy time to keep the door closed, and cooperate with the people from the Jinyi Mansion outside to ensure that no one from the Sanhe Gang would rush out and startle the guests in the two courtyards.
"Don't worry, sir!" Xie Zaiyi solemnly took the horned dragon bow and responded with enthusiasm: "If someone jumps through the door and passes by, I will raise my head to see him!"
Jia Heng nodded heavily.
Cai Quan looked solemn and said: "Brother Heng, together with several commanders and small commanders from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, we have sixteen people. Adding that team of people, the total is only more than thirty people. , there is still some shortage of manpower, why don’t we mobilize people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?”
"Let's go and mobilize first, but the water from far away can't quench the thirst for near. Now we still have to wait for the letter from Qu Lang." Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
If possible, he would still like to directly mobilize the soldiers from the Beijing camp, but the soldiers from the Beijing camp are further away and cannot be reached in a hurry.
Looking at Jia Qiong and the other four people aside, he said: "Follow Jiao Da, give out sticks to the twenty or so young men in the house, and guard several side courtyards and the backyard. Don't disturb the guests and the queen." The female relatives of the house.”
The so-called guests, except for the old and young men of the Jia family who were in the two side courtyards, were basically all in the inner hall. As for the other relatives of the Jia family, such as the four princes and eight princes, there were not many, and only some stewards gathered in the side courtyard. Eat with a glass of water and wine.
When Jia Qiong heard this, her expression changed, and she quickly responded and called Jiao Da away.
In the hall, Han Hui, Yu Zhen, and Song Yuan looked at each other in shock when they felt the dignified atmosphere created by Jia Heng's orders.
"Ziyu...is this?" Han Hui asked in a solemn voice.
It sounded like he was from the Sanhe Gang just now?
Jia Heng said: "Zisheng, Wendu, Mr. Song, and several people from the Sanhe Gang are coming to the door. There may be danger later. You can just eat in the hall. No matter what noise is made outside the ceremony door, don't come out."
These guests came here to congratulate each other. As the Lord of Ning Kingdom, he naturally had to protect their safety.
Since several leaders of the Sanhe Gang dared to visit us, they obviously saw this opportunity.
If he really tries to keep several heads of the Sanhe Gang in the mansion, he needs to consider the consequences of having the Sanhe Gang break in and massacre the guests!
Of course, he had no intention of keeping anyone alive. Not to mention killing all these gang members, he would not even miss a single one of them!
The key is that if possible, he still wants to keep these arrogant leaders who dare to jump in front of him.
Then the troops from the capital camp were mobilized to attack the whole city.
"If you want to keep people, Jinyi Mansion's control cannot be compromised. Otherwise, you have to give in and send people away first."
The Sanhe Gang was dispatched, and the spies of the Jinyi Mansion had been controlling them, so it was impossible not to follow them.
Now he is waiting for Qu Lang's letter. Until he waits for Qu Lang's letter, he will not even see Li Jinzhu.
"People from the Sanhe Gang?" When Yu Zhen heard this, his face changed drastically, and he frowned and said: "Zi Yu, are they coming to provoke you? How dare they? They have taken the courage of a bear and stormed the Duke's Mansion. Are they trying to do it?
Rebellion?"
Han Hui said in a deep voice: "Wendu, of course they don't dare to attack the Duke's Mansion, but it is a means of self-protection. This is when the leader of the Sanhe Gang is coming."
Everyone in the hall felt the solemn atmosphere of an impending storm, and felt a sense of fear in their hearts. They all turned their attention to the young man.
Time passed silently, but no one in the hall noticed that a thin figure under the window was listening secretly. It was Jia She who came later to "help" at Jia Mu's instruction. His eyes were frightened and his face was pale.
What a disaster!
The enemies provoked by Jia Heng's son are actually coming into the house!
Huh? Not only Lian'er is also from this group of people...
Jia She's heart sank when he thought about this. He couldn't care about it now. He had to hurry up and tell the old lady to leave the place of right and wrong first, and then settle the score with Jia Heng's son!
