Chapter 190 Aunt and Cousin
Jiang Yuqi is fourteen years old. She is slim and pretty, but she has a boyish nature and is naughty.
Hearing this, he pouted and said: "I know mother, brother, what is there to be afraid of? Isn't he just a big kid? He's not much older than Yuqi. I'm afraid he hasn't read outside. The name of the book and the name of the Song family brother all have the word "Qing", I am afraid that the Song family brother is far away!"
Princess Zheng couldn't help but frowned and reprimanded: "Then Song Ruqing is an outsider after all, how can he not protect him? My brother, you are becoming more and more ignorant to outsiders!"
Jiang Yuqi snorted heavily and looked away.
At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty!"
Princess Zheng immediately pulled Jiang Yuqi to sit upright.
Xin Zhuo entered the room, glanced at mother and daughter, signaled Sai Qingzhu to put down the large and small bags of gifts, saluted and smiled: "I have met my aunt!"
"Yu Qing doesn't need to be polite, why bother at home? What kind of gift are you bringing? It’s a joke!”
Princess Zheng was slightly reproachful, and then kindly motioned to Xin Zhuo to sit down and consider it. After a moment, he said: "There is no other reason for inviting you here. My aunt is an outspoken person who talks about things when she wants to. That one of yours... That Xin Si, later changed his name to Xin Aotian, is actually my aunt's slave... The servant, there was a big chaos in the house at that time. I took you away. My aunt is responsible for this. You have suffered all these years. Yuqing can’t blame her.”
It turned out that this was the case. In fact, Xin Zhuo had already taken it lightly. His grandfather’s bones were all rusty. It didn’t matter who was right or wrong, but his mind suddenly moved and he pretended to be curious: "What happened back then? Why did Xin Zhuo ...Four, they will take me out. The Jiang family has many servants and strict rules, which is somewhat...unreasonable?"
"There is nothing to hide about this matter. You will know it sooner or later..."
Princess Zheng sighed: "Fourteen years ago, in the twelfth year of Tianshou, the 500,000-strong army of the seven kingdoms in the Western Regions invaded in large numbers, defeated the Western Qin army three times, and captured thirty-one cities in one month. !
The late emperor ordered the five princes of the Jiang family and twenty-six direct descendants, a total of thirty-one people, to go out. As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and no one survived. The Western Qin frontier lost twenty-seven prefectures.
When the news came, people in the capital were panicked. The Jiang family was in chaos, and there happened to be a rebellion. They burned, killed and looted everywhere. Some of them took the opportunity to break into the Jiang family. Twelve boys who were direct descendants of the Jiang family were beheaded. If it weren't for the old lady Jun and your mother, my sister Ji Jiuwei, used strong tactics to protect Yu Gui, and then killed seven generals of the rebel army to stabilize the position. I'm afraid... At that time, Xin Si took advantage of the chaos and took you away, otherwise How could he have a chance?”
Having said this, she looked at his face and said: "Later, the old lady and your mother led a family full of widows to go on an expedition. Even my aunt went to the battle and killed one or two hundred people. Finally, they defeated the enemy forces in the Western Region and recovered the lost territory. .
In short, you don’t need to worry about this matter, the Jiang family is loyal and loyal. The sound of the eighteen states in the world, whether it is the royal family or the government and the public, all owe it to our family!"
Xin Zhuo nodded, that battle must have been the battle of Kunxu Demon, the entire Jiang family was wiped out, and the eldest sister of Wu Zhuzhong was wiped out! It's said to be a trap, but according to Princess Zheng's statement, this matter is really a bit strange!
Twelve boys from the direct line of the Jiang family were killed, but no girls...
Princess Zheng had already pulled over Jiang Yuqi: "Come and see my brother!
"I have met my brother, Yuqi is so polite!"
Jiang Yuqi blinked his big eyes like cattail leaf fans, looked Xinzhuo up and down, and suddenly said: "Brother is the direct eldest son of the Jiang family, and I am afraid that he will inherit the county soon. As the king, it is up to the Jiang family to decide whether you can send someone to marry Yuqi. Yuqi likes brother Song Ruqing of the Song family!"
"Yuqi!"
Princess Zheng Guochang. Unspeakably embarrassing.
Xin Zhuo thought it was a bit funny that women were not admitted to college, and asked: "Then what is the background of the Song family, can you tell me?"
Jiang Yuqi tilted his head: "The young master of She's family, the right servant of Shangshu Province, is now serving in Fengjian Division!"
The official position is not small, and he is considered a well-matched one. Xin Zhuo waved his hand: "Okay! Wait for another day. Brother, if you test this person, you must know that grandma will make the decision for you!"
Jiang Yuqi blinked: "Brother, it's better not to test him. Brother Ruqing has a very high level of martial arts and good literary talent. You can't compare to him!"
Xin Zhuo: "..."
Based on your words, your marriage is a lie! Your brother holds a grudge.
Princess Zheng couldn't help but angrily scolded: "Yuqi, you don't understand the rules!"
Jiang Yuqi stuck out her tongue and made a face at Xin Zhuo: "That's it, you prince brother who can't do anything! "
Xin Zhuo looked at Princess Zheng and almost said, "Can I beat her?" "After your fourth uncle left, your aunt was not strict in discipline, which made Yu Qing laugh!" Princess Zheng was even more embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, I'm still young! Besides, what happened with Xin Si, don't worry, Auntie, it's all over!"
The two chatted for a while longer, and Xin Zhuo indicated that he would send some scriptures to Jiang Yuqi in the afternoon for Jiang Yuqi to copy ten times. With brother Quan's love and affection, he stood up and left.
As a result, as soon as we left the courtyard, another steward came hurriedly from a distance and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Second Young Master invites you!"
Second Young Master? Jiang Yugyu?
Xin Zhuo is actually very curious about this brother. It is said that this boy is only half a year younger than him. He is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, and bullies the city. He is one of the famous evil boys in the capital.
What a... elegant person!
As the steward moved forward, he bypassed the layers of pavilions and finally arrived in front of the "Fengxing Courtyard".
"Fengxingyuan" is also the residence of Jiang's legitimate son, and is only one word different from Xin Zhuo's "Fengweiyuan". "Wei" seems to have more meanings than "Xing".
"Come closer, come closer, okay! Don't move!"
A shout came from the spacious and luxurious courtyard, and more than twenty servants in green were seen pushing a huge There is a wooden high caster ladder, and sitting on it is a young man in brocade clothes, with a square face and round eyes. At first glance, he looks quite serious, but upon closer inspection, he looks cunning and cunning.
At the base... rockery? Or stacking blocks randomly.
Starting from the wooden table on the bottom floor, stools, stones, water tanks, screens, and wooden boxes are stacked layer by layer without any supports. They are crooked, but they are only three feet high without falling down.
"Second Young Master, be careful!"
Not far away, more than a dozen beautiful maids were extremely nervous. They clearly didn't have the ability to catch their own Young Master, so they just stretched out their arms.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" The steward who led the way respectfully brought a grand master's chair.
"It doesn't matter!" Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves, sat down with a golden sword, and raised his head to look at the only third-generation direct male of the Jiang family except himself.
A fifth-level martial artist, how should I describe his appearance? Without such a family background, and born in a small ordinary rural household, it would be difficult for him to find a wife.
"Change the position and put on another table! It can be stacked!"
Jiang Yugui was sweating, yelling, signaling the slave to move the cart, and struggled to lift a large table. And put it on the shelves of "Jimu Mountain".
Quite boring!
Xin Zhuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the servants of Fenxingyuan who were worried about his young master not far away. He turned around and said to the four girls: "Look at my maids, and then look at you!"
The corners of Sai Qingzhu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at his nose and heart with his eyes. Yam and Sweet Potato snorted and looked away.
On the other hand, Xiong Zhang blinked his eyes and twitched his pointed ears: "Your Majesty, go up and we will follow you!"
"That's not necessary!" Xin Zhuo continued calmly. Wait and see.
Jiang Yugui, who was above, worked hard for a while, and finally finished. He jumped off the wooden wheel ladder, looked at his masterpiece, and clapped his hands with satisfaction. Then he remembered Xin Zhuo, and he was not polite to look back. He was familiar with it. The general said: "How is it?"
Xin Zhuo carefully tasted the pretense: "Awesome!"
"Awesome? Ha, that's a good word! My brother is an elegant man!"
Jiang Yugui waved to his servants to bring chairs as well, sat with Xin Zhuo, called out a few more snacks, and pinched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He put it in his mouth, shook his head, and said vaguely: "Except for me, few people in the capital can do this craft. I plan to pass it on to future generations. What do you think, brother?"
"Well, I I think it's okay!"
Xin Zhuo nodded and asked: "But are you sure... this is fun?"
"It's fun!" Jiang Yugui blinked and handed over a piece of candy. Seeing that Xin Zhuo refused, he grinned: "Finding balance is something that most idiots can't find. It requires touch and brains. Does your brother have a brain?"
