Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 525
Two days later, news of the civil unrest in the East Lu land really spread to the court. Hearing that it was a civil unrest in the "East Lu land", the prince was immediately excited, and then he heard that the leader was a Taoist priest , known as Huang Tianjiao, claiming to be ordered by the sky, and has extremely magical powers, is even more excited.

Maybe he's not the smartest, and maybe he's not the best either.But after all, peeing is the crown prince, and he still knows the most taboo things for a king.

Being ordered by the heavens and being bestowed by the gods is a taboo of the father.After all, if the Taoist priests of the Huangtian Sect are ordered by the heavens and given by the gods, then what is the father?
Sure enough, the face behind the curtain had already darkened, and the prince, who felt that the time was almost up, immediately stood up and said bluntly, "The group of Taoist priests in Donglu land deceived the public with their lies, and they are talking nonsense!".

As soon as these words came out, seeing his father's face turning pale, the prince couldn't help but said: "I remember that the second brother is from the land of Donglu, why did these gossips come from the same place as the second brother... "

Before he could finish speaking, the emperor's face turned dark again, and in front of civil and military officials, he reprimanded the prince for splashing dirty water, and ordered the prince to be kicked out and kneel.

Even though he was the crown prince, the palace servants brought cushions, but the crown prince still felt aggrieved. He didn't know how things turned out like this. That group of monsters came out of the same place as his second brother. Ah, what did he say wrong?
No, after kneeling today, he has to go back to Mr. Chen and ask if he has been suppressed by the evil ways in recent days.

……

The prince's slander made Jiang Shaoyan sneezed.

"Miss Jiang Fourth, be careful. It's not midsummer yet, so eat less cold food. It won't be good if the cold air enters your body." The servant girl put a mountain of milk crisps in front of her, and said with a smile.

Jiang Shaoyan thanked her, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Mrs. Li who looked at her from time to time, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: It must not be her illusion!Why do I always feel that Mrs. Li seems to be particularly concerned about her!

She looked around.

This time Mrs. Li chose her again for the flower viewing feast.Originally, she thought it was the same as last time, that is, she was here for a show, but the reality was a bit beyond her expectation.

Compared with the position in the back row last time, this time her position was arranged in the first row.That's all for the first row, and it was arranged in the first row of the first row, only on the left hand side of Mrs. Li.

This is also... too flattering!Jiang Shaoyan was very surprised, and seriously recalled that she really did not have any past with Mrs. Li and that Second Young Master Li, and she was even more puzzled.

Even Mrs. Li and the Second Young Master Li are ordinary people who don't judge people by their appearance, but somehow put a girl who has never been in contact with each other in the first row, still named Jiang Shaoyan... Uh... Anyway, I don't quite understand.

Listening to Mrs. Li chatting and joking with a few ladies who seemed to have had acquaintances, Jiang Shaoyan dug up the milk crisp mountain with a spoon, and watched the female gentleman in the middle perform the tea distribution.

Jiang Shaoyan was satisfied with Mrs. Li's two flower viewing feasts. Of course, it would be better if Mrs. Li didn't look at her from time to time.

The flower viewing banquet with all the female guests was elegant and quiet. Jiang Shaoyan enjoyed the sweet and delicious buttermilk while quietly watching the tea distribution performance.

The short stories of the parents will never be cold when you talk about them. Your uncles, aunts, elders, my uncles, aunts, and juniors will naturally be praised if they can do it well, and everyone will dislike it if they can’t do it. Those who make shots but are not jerks can also be said to be "dumb", "boring" and "mediocre".

Even if she wasn't listening deliberately, the little things about the parents were heard in her ears, and she was very down-to-earth.

What she saw was the elegant performance of tea distribution, and what she heard was the short-lived and down-to-earth incidents of the parents, and the sweet and delicious milk crisps were entertaining. like.

Originally thought that he was just a spectator, and this banquet had nothing to do with him.Unexpectedly, halfway through the banquet, some guests came uninvited.

The female guests who came were in their thirties, and they were older than these female guests present, but their looks and demeanor were a round older, which also compared all the female guests present.

The appearance is graceful and dignified, the temperament is calm and moderate, and even the steps on the bun are relaxed and graceful when walking. Jiang Shaoyan can only see such an appearance and demeanor in the back houses of the old-fashioned dignitaries. It looks like a woman of noble birth and well-educated.

"Mother!" The beautiful woman walked up to Mrs. Li and saluted, and said, "This day, the hibiscus garden is open early. My daughter-in-law went to the Furong garden with the Rong'an County Lord. On the way back, I heard that my mother We're having a banquet, so let's take a look!"

Hearing the beautiful woman say "Mother", Jiang Shaoyan immediately guessed the identity of the beautiful woman: this is probably the wife of Mrs. Li's stepson, Mr. Li.

The powerful families will never be sloppy about the marriage of the eldest son, especially if the family has the Longxi Army and has an inheritance.

Mrs. Li's wife, Mrs. Qi, is not an ordinary person. With a seemingly casual explanation, she proudly pointed out her relationship with the Rong'an County Lord, and she went to the Furong Garden, which is not easy to borrow. It set off her social circle.

Mrs. Li nodded her head, she didn't seem to notice Qi's soft nails on her face.He just asked her to arrange a seat, and smiled at her: "Since that's the case, you sister-in-law might as well stay here and watch for me, so that I can choose a good wife for Xuan Jing."

The name of this flower viewing banquet is "Flower Appreciation", but in fact it is Mrs. Li's choice of a wife for the second son of Li, which is well known to each other.But to know it is one thing, to say it so bluntly in front of everyone... It is still beyond the imagination of everyone present.

The complexions of the cheerful ladies who chatted with Mrs. Li changed immediately, and the expressions on their faces also became awkward.

Mrs. Li didn't realize it, she still smiled and arranged Mrs. Qi to sit beside her, then raised her finger to the girls on the mat and said with a smile: "It's all good, only my family, Xuan Jing If I can choose a wife, you might as well hold my eyes for me, okay?"

Of course the Qi family is not a good person, but in the same way, how can Mrs. Li, who has been the wife of General Longxi for more than 20 years, be easy to get along with?In one sentence, Qi Shi was put on the shelf directly.

If one is unsatisfactory, will the mother-in-law justifiably blame her in the future?If you pick a good one... Qi's eyebrows twitched, isn't this digging a hole for himself?

Seeing the momentary stiffness on Qi's face, Jiang Shaoyan scooped up a spoonful of milk crisps at the entrance of the mountain, and couldn't help feeling: This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight is really dangerous!
It's just emotion, but Jiang Shaoyan didn't feel that this matter had anything to do with her. She was digging a mountain of milk crisps to eat happily, but Qi Shi, who had a stiff face, glanced at her and spoke suddenly.

"Is this Miss Jiang Si from Dongping Bo's Mansion?" The beautiful woman looked at her with a pair of eyes and a smile. There were two shallow dimples on her cheeks, and she looked very kind.

But what is different from the kindness on her face is the words she uttered.

"I really like to eat milk crisps." Qi said with a smile as she watched her scoop up more than half of the milk crisps, "I heard that Dong Ping passed by Su Bingtang two days ago when he was on business, so he turned in and ordered a copy. The milk crisp mountain was sent back to the Pearl of the Palm!"

Milk Crisp Mountain is not cheap, but it is not expensive for the powerful, and it is eaten every day in summer.

The weather has been extremely hot these past few days. Two days ago, when Jiang Zhao was on a business trip, he passed by the most famous crisp ice hall in Chang'an City, where there was always a long line of people in the crisp ice hall. I went in and ordered a copy for the guy to deliver to Bofu.

This matter was done on the way to work, and there was no delay. No matter how rigorous a person is in his business, he can't say that he didn't do such a thing by the way. Besides, even Jiang Zhao's Shangfeng knew about it and did not Did not say not to come.

It was originally a trivial matter, but when Qi said it at this time, the soft nails under that smiling and kind face were already thrown out.

Jiang Shaoyan was a little baffled, she didn't know how she got in the way of Mrs. Li's eyes.

Mrs. Li Bo, who was on the side, smiled and helped to smooth things over: "Uncle Dongping is famous for loving his daughters like their lives. It's just a piece of Sushan, so of course I'm willing." After a pause, she seemed to be feeling emotional again, " I remember that you also went to Subingtang two days ago and bought a share of Sushan for your cousin who married into the Du family. Your sisters have always been on good terms when they were in the boudoir. I don’t know when the Du family will go to Huixi. Only then can we see each other again."

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.This sentence can be said to be a tried and tested truth.Mrs. Li's seemingly casual sentence seemed to have reminded her how she had offended the Qi family.

These days, the Ministry of Industry where Jiang Zhao works is dealing with major corruption cases, and many officials have been investigated and dealt with in succession.Two days ago, Mr. Du, Jiang Zhao's former colleague from the Ministry of Industry, who was from the Du family in Longxi, was convicted and exiled to Huixi. The wife of Mr. Du seems to be surnamed Qi.So that Mrs. Du is the cousin of Mrs. Li?

It was the Son of Heaven who ordered the confiscation of the family and the exile of the Du family, but it was impossible to question the Son of Heaven, unless the Qi family didn't want to live anymore.In this way, he transferred his anger to Jiang Zhao, who was on errands.

Jiang Zhao didn't have any major faults, but it's okay to catch some small mistakes.Of course, no one would hold on to such a small mistake, after all, even Qi himself dare not say that the son of his Qi family and his husband, Mr. Li, have never done such a thing.

Just because he doesn't make a fuss over a small mistake doesn't mean he can't take advantage of the greedy Miss Jiang Si in front of him to save face when Jiang Zhao himself is not here.

Of course Mrs. Li knew about Mrs. Qi's reminder, but she didn't pay too much attention to Miss Jiang Si in front of her.

Last year's incident with the second son of An Guogong's mansion was really too big, Qi didn't think that a smart woman would do such a thing.It's probably because Uncle Dongping felt sorry for her losing her mother when she was young, and he never even scolded her on weekdays.What kind of Mrs. Jiang in the back house of Dongping Bo's mansion is like, and the old people in the capital know well.

Qi didn't think that such a family could produce any beautiful woman, and it was not surprising that she did what she did last year.

Hearing Mrs. Li's reminder, Jiang Shaoyan gave a light smirk, looked at Qi's head up, and said, "I ate at Sushan two days ago, it was already sunset, and even counting the time, it was already big time." It's time for the Zhou Yamen to be on duty, but I didn't know this would happen. I just didn't know that Madam paid so much attention to my father, three points more than me as a daughter!"

The air suddenly fell silent.

Mrs. Li took a spoonful of the entrance of the milk crisp mountain that she hadn't touched before, and squinted her eyes slightly: the milk crisp mountain tastes really good today!
Qi's eyes sank, and his face was a little ugly.

Although the people of Dazhou are civilized, no matter how civilized, a woman, especially the wife of the future General Longxi, pays attention to a man for no reason. The man is still a widower who has been living alone for many years. Whatever happened, I wouldn't blame her.But when the girl in front of her said it, the taste changed. Although she didn't mention a single word, the meaning in the words was to point out that her behavior was wrong.

Sure enough, the rumors are unbelievable!In the incident last year, whether it was the process or the final result, the fat girl in front of her was a soft-boiled person who could be manipulated by others, with a very weak personality.

It is said that this kind of people would either pretend not to understand or go back and cry when encountering a problem. Qi Shi did not expect to stab her in front of her like this.

"It's just a joke, why does Fourth Miss Jiang take it seriously?" Qi smiled and said calmly.

"I don't take it seriously, so I don't want to listen to my parents and elders, but my wife." Jiang Shaoyan put down the silver spoon from digging Sushan Mountain, and said calmly, "Although my mother is gone, my father is still here, and my father is still here. You can discipline me yourself, but Madam wants to step in and discipline me for my father. How dare I ask Madam, what did my father do wrong that is unbearable to teach me?"

After saying a word, Qi's face became very stiff.

The moment the fat girl in front of her opened her mouth to stab her, she knew she had miscalculated. The girl in front of her was completely different from the rumors, she was not a soft bun at all.

Not only is it not a soft bun, but it is also not easy to mess with.

Her "joke" originally meant to accept it as soon as it was good, and she didn't care about it normally, or people who looked at Qi and Li just ignored it after hearing it.

Unexpectedly, this girl followed her sentence and actually turned the topic back to "what did Uncle Dongping do wrong".

What did Uncle Dongping do wrong?In recent days, Uncle Dongping has only done one thing - to investigate and deal with corrupt officials for His Majesty.

Can this be blamed?Of course, Qi cannot say that Uncle Dongping did something wrong, but it is inevitable to admit that he was wrong...

Regardless of whether she was the eldest daughter of the Qi family before she got married, or she married into the Li family in Longxi and became the eldest wife after marriage, let alone this girl, even her father Dongpingbo Jiang Zhao would not be like this here Save her face.But I never imagined that this girl would block her with words in front of so many people... Qi felt extremely aggrieved.

If the one who made her lose face was someone with a higher background and higher status than her, that's fine, but she was just a poor and noble only daughter, Qi only felt that this tone was really boring in her heart.

But no matter how boring, the other party's words have come to this point, so I can't say that Uncle Dong Ping did something wrong, that is questioning and disrespecting His Majesty.

Seeing that Mrs. Qi couldn't come down to the stage, Mrs. Li, who had watched a lot of excitement, said to smooth things over: "It's very hot and dry, so please don't say a few words! Miss Jiang Si admired her father, and it was inevitable that she was a little anxious. You and a What kind of idleness does the little girl have in her family? Let's eat the crispy mountain!"

She was very happy to see Qi's being framed and unable to get down.But... If Qi's face is too embarrassing and the dissatisfaction of General Li is dissatisfied, she thinks it would be bad for her to pick trouble with her son.
