Chapter 215
Aunt Gui!
Aunt Gui who is more like Aunt Gui than the Aunt Gui in the village!
To be precise, she was more like Aunt Gui in her previous life, who collected her body and reported the arrest of the Zhao family, indirectly avenging her, but hammering wooden nails into her body.
It's not that the face of today's Aunt Gui is much different from the Aunt Gui who cooked taro that Jiang Anning had seen in the village before.
It's just a feeling.
Aunt Gui, whom I met in the village before, had an honest and honest look.
At this time, Aunt Gui was more capable and shrewd, and even a little more noble.
Obviously she was still wearing the same coarse linen shirt she wore in the village at the moment.
"What's so surprising about this."
Xie Yutong smiled: "Jiang Wei has returned to Beijing. An imperial edict has appointed the first embroiderer in Jiang'an County to sew wedding clothes for his wedding. This has caused Wang Shang and others to be troubled. It is your chance to relax. I I guess it’s almost time for you to come over.”
Aunt Gui didn't say anything and seemed unconvinced about this.
"I came here to give you an idea."
Aunt Gui's face darkened a little, and she looked at Xie Yutong with a frown: "What's going on with that imperial edict? It's so good, why are you suddenly looking for the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County? Is the news accurate? ”
"I don't know what's going on."
Xie Yutong smiled indifferently, with a mocking look on his lips: "But hasn't he always been like this? He is moody and sanctimonious."
"You are a human being in front of you, but you don’t know what you are behind you."
She laughed: "I'm not surprised that he would make such a decision."
"I even think that it is very rare that he can hold back until now to behave like this."
"I originally thought that with his gloomy temperament, he would have been unable to sit still for a long time."
"I didn't expect that he could really tolerate Jiang Anning living alone for eight years."
I don't know which sentence made Aunt Gui smile. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, showing the master's good mood: "Isn't this just right? It's cheaper for you and me, oh no, it should be said to be cheaper. ”
Xie Yutong glanced at her but didn't refute.
"So, time is also destiny."
The corner of her mouth curved into a beautiful curve, and she felt quite emotional: "A person's life may be long or short, but the ones who can really turn things around are those who survive."
"That's exactly the truth." Aunt Gui also quite agreed.
Xie Yutong turned his head, looked at her, and brought the topic back again: "What idea do you want to come up with with me?"
"Now that the imperial edict has been issued, the whole world will know about it soon."
Aunt Gui pursed her lips: "It's a certainty that Jiang Anning will go to the capital."
When the imperial edict was delivered, even if Jiang Anning was unwilling, there was absolutely no reason to resist it.
Otherwise, just being slapped with the label of treason would be enough to kill her.
"But at the same time, the Sang family will definitely get news."
"Will they have any thoughts?"
Aunt Gui's eyes were full of worry, and she obviously didn't have a good impression of the Sang family.
"They will definitely be interested."
Xie Yutong sneered: "If you don't think about it, you should be worried."
A person who often holds back bad things suddenly stops doing bad things.
Isn't it more worrying than what bad things he is going to do?
You don’t think that bad people should give up evil and do good, and change their ways, right?
This is obviously a big thing to hold in!
Aunt Gui nodded: "You are right. If those people don't have any evil thoughts, I will be even more worried."
Thinking of something, Aunt Gui added: "I almost forgot that the Sang family specially sent two little guys here, and now they have settled in Jiangjia Village."
She smiled: "Originally, the villagers planned to use these two brothers to extort three hundred taels of silver from Jiang Anning, but they didn't expect that stealing chickens and losing rice would expose their dirty hearts. But that girl , is a ruthless master, and he is not at all ambiguous in the face of so many people’s moral criticism.”
"I don't know what method I used, but now I have taken the two Sang brothers under my command."
Xie Yutong said "Oh?" and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Jiang Anning actually ordered those two stupid young men?"
"That's right."
Aunt Gui smiled: "That guy Sang Nanshan looks stupid and has no brains. But Sang Donghai is not like that."
"It looks like he is shrewd, but he is shrewd in the wrong place."
"Such a person is the easiest to get into trouble. Once he becomes paranoid, he will definitely be a stubborn person that even eight cows can't pull back."
Aunt Gui smiled: "But it's strange. Now the two people who are showing off their claws are as obedient as cats. They put away their claws, exposed their bellies, and let others control them."
"Even when I saw it, it was incredible."
Xie Yutong thoughtfully said: "In this case, we are not in a hurry to make any decision."
"What did you say?" Aunt Gui looked at her puzzled.
She frowned: "Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it will not be long before it is sent to all state governments for notification, and Jiang'an County will naturally be no exception."
Not to mention that this imperial edict was originally intended to be delivered to Jiang'an County, and it would only arrive here earlier.
It's hard to let people in other places know the news. Only Jiang'an County, where the real master is, doesn't know anything yet.
"But there is no specified date in the imperial edict, right?"
Xie Yutong smiled casually: "Since there is no specified date and when we must arrive in the capital, doesn't that mean there is still room for change?"
"Also, if the imperial court does not send someone to send a boat to pick him up, Jiang Anning will have to find a way to get to Beijing on his own."
"If this person eats whole grains, he will always get sick, right?"
"Not to mention that traveling a long way, wading through mountains and rivers is the most labor-intensive."
"Think about it. The mountains in Jiang'an County are high and the emperor is far away. How long will it take to walk to the capital?"
Aunt Gui did not dare to be so relaxed: "Even if what you said is true, the time of the wedding has been calculated by the Qin Tian Supervisor. The auspicious time has been decided. Let's not talk about others for the time being. The people of Jiang'an Hou Mansion , I won’t let the embroiderer stay on the road and waste time.”
"Who said the wedding date has been set?"
Xie Yutong laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in his life.
"Isn't the time for the wedding already set?" Aunt Gui frowned: "If not, why would Jiang Wei rush back to the capital in such a hurry?"
"His return to Beijing is just his return to Beijing. It has nothing to do with whether the wedding date has been set."
Xie Yutong had a faint smile on his lips, looking like he was sure of victory.
Aunt Gui frowned and didn't understand: "How do you say this?"
Even the embroiderer who sews the auspicious wedding clothes has been appointed by imperial edict, but the wedding time has not been set yet?
"So Jiang Wei, you're not young anymore, are you? Are you in your early twenties?"
"It would be fine if the marriage was not settled before."
"Even if Mrs. Hou and the others are anxious, it is useless even if they are not in front of you."
"Now that the marriage has been decided, and it is a certainty that I will marry Princess Shao'an, how can I still condone Jiang Wei's mischief and delay the marriage?"
Aunt Gui was not discouraged, she seemed to want to convince Xie Yutong, and she also seemed to want to convince herself: "Not to mention, after what happened to Concubine Jiang, the Marquis of Jiang'an has already been walking on thin ice, for fear of going on business. If you make the wrong move, you will suffer another disaster. Now I am afraid that there are not enough descendants. If something unexpected happens in the future, there will be no descendants left." "They are eager to add a new one. Ding.”
If nothing else goes wrong, after Jiang Wei gets married, there will be couples soon, or even many couples.
But the children born from these intercourses have only two endings.
After giving birth to a male child, he will stay in the mansion instead of Princess Shao'an's child and raise him as his legitimate daughter.
If something happens to Jianghou Mansion in the future, Tongfang will be the one who dies.
Or perhaps, the relatives were silenced after the birth, and the children disappeared with them.
Of course, it's just on the surface that he's missing.
It is even very likely that no one will know that these Tongfangs have given birth, and it is even more likely that no one will know that Jiang Wei has a Tongfang, and blindly declares to the outside world that he and Princess Shao'an are a loving couple, and are willing to give up concubines for his wife. .
But in reality, he will probably be like a stallion, leaving seeds everywhere.
When the child is born and the child is born safely, the child will probably be raised in an unknown place, with the loyal servants of the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion by his side.
If the three generations of the Marquis of Jiang'an were in peace and were not harmed by the imperial power, then this child would probably remain unidentified for the rest of his life and live a peaceful life as a child of an ordinary family.
Get a wife, have children, and have children.
He left behind a bloodline that belonged to the Jianghou Mansion, but probably he would never know his identity for the rest of his life.
But if anything happens to the Marquis Jiang's Mansion, this child will be the hope for the future to repeat the former glory of Marquis Jiang'an.
"It's impossible. Jiang Wei still has the guts to resist and disrespect the decree, right?"
Aunt Gui felt that this possibility was too slim.
"Jiang Wei naturally doesn't have the courage."
Xie Yutong smiled: "The Marquis of Jiang'an will not allow him to have such courage."
"How could that happen..."
Aunt Gui became even more confused. She looked at Xie Yutong, full of confusion.
"Jiang Wei wouldn't have the courage, and Jiang Anhou's mansion wouldn't have the courage, but there are people who do."
Xie Yutong didn't know if he did it on purpose or not, and deliberately let it go.
Aunt Gui was extremely anxious: "I'm confused as to what you said. It's not Jiang Wei who has the guts, it's not the Marquis of Jiang'an who has the guts... who else could have the guts?"
She racked her brains and couldn't figure out whether there could be a third party in this matter?
Xie Yutong laughed a few times, very cheerfully: "You, you, you! Some of the authorities are really confused."
"Why am I so confused by the authorities?"
Aunt Gui stared anxiously: "Please tell me clearly now and don't show off here!"
"Okay, okay, I tell you that."
Xie Yutong was afraid that he would really offend someone, so he quickly smiled and said: "This imperial edict is to grant a marriage between Jiang Wei and Princess Shao'an. If it's not Jiang Wei who is delaying and refusing the marriage, who else could it be?"
"You still say you are not a fan of the authorities? But if you think about it carefully, isn't this key point immediately clear?"
Aunt Gui was stunned for a while, blinked, still doubting life, and said in an incredible voice: "You mean, Princess Shao'an?"
Xie Yutong nodded.
Aunt Gui still doubted herself.
"Yes, yes, why didn't I think just now that the person who made this mistake might be Princess Shao'an?"
Her face was blank, full of confusion and confusion, and she couldn't figure it out.
Xie Yutong laughed at her: "Did you ignore another question?"
"What?"
Aunt Gui was immediately a little confused by this rhetorical question, which made her even less confident.
"Who is Princess Shao'an?" Xie Yutong asked with a half-smile.
Aunt Gui was at a loss for a moment, seemed to think actively, and then her eyes widened in shock: "Could it be that this Princess Shao'an..."
She was extremely unconfident and muted her voice. After a while, she continued dryly: "There is no Princess Shao'an in the capital."
After saying that, she was even more shocked and doubtful about life.
...There is no Princess Shao'an.
There is no such person as Princess Shao'an in the capital! !
Without this person, how could he get the marriage granted by the imperial edict?
"Who is Princess Shao'an?"
Aunt Gui couldn't believe her voice.
Xie Yutong shook his head: "I don't know who the princess of Shao'an will be."
"What do you mean?"
Aunt Gui's whole heart was lifted up by the man's words, and she was so shocked that it was beyond words.
What do you mean by not knowing who the princess of Shao'an will be?
Is it possible that there could be more than one person who will become the Princess of Shao'an?
Aunt Gui wanted to, but she was frightened first?
Why not...
Anyway, doesn’t anyone know who this Shao’an Princess is?
Doesn't that mean that anyone can be the princess of Shao'an?
Xie Yutong actually already had a vague answer in his heart.
However, he didn't say it clearly to Aunt Gui.
She glanced at Aunt Gui's face inadvertently and remained calm.
Aunt Gui is very kind and loyal.
He was the person who followed Sang Jingwan and took care of her in the past.
But...
She was not necessarily disloyal to Jiang Wei.
Even Wang Shang has never doubted Aunt Gui, he only regarded her as an informant placed next to Jiang Wei.
Mrs. An even trusted Aunt Gui.
Even if everyone in the former Jiangning Zhizao family was convicted and she was the only one spared, she never doubted Aunt Gui.
What's more, things are done in a secret way.
She had indeed already made a guess in her mind, but after all, this guess had not yet been implemented.
Who knows what kind of thoughts the aloof emperor is hiding, and whether he will hide in the dark and watch secretly like a cat playing with a mouse. When no one guesses what he is thinking, he will remain calm.
But once they had a target of suspicion in their minds, he also calmly changed the original target, catching them all off guard.
Just like at the beginning, all of them thought that when something happened to Concubine Jiang, it was the emperor who sharpened his sword against the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion and the powerful and elderly people.
Unexpectedly, everyone was on guard and thinking of ways to deal with it, but he slashed the knife at his predecessor Jiang Ningzhizao.
Aunt Gui didn't know people's doubts about her, so she sighed to herself: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for us... What about the capital city?"
She raised her head, looked at Xie Yutong, and asked uncertainly: "How should we arrange it? Should we go back now, or wait and see what happens?"
