Fair Lady

Realizing that his actions just now were a bit unsettling, Shu Jiejun walked towards the smiling Weiyuanhou and the others with a blushing face, saluted and said, "Uncle, Eunuch Fu, you are all here! Brother Zhixiang, this is... "Shujie doesn't know Nangong Xiao, but he just thinks that his appearance and demeanor are very similar to Master Nangong.

Nangong Yi smiled narrowly: "It's time to change your tune, I am your second brother, and this is the eldest brother Nangong Xiao."

Shujie is as good as others: "Big Brother, Second Brother."

Nangong Xiao was obviously much more stable than Nangong Yi, and nodded with a smile on his face: "Shujie, let's go in and meet my uncle."

A group of people entered the "small courtyard" surrounded by simple fences. Shujie took Nangong Miao's little hand and walked to Xia Linxuan and knelt down: "Father, this is Miao'er."

The red sleeve rolled up the cloud veil on Nangong Miao's phoenix crown, and Nangong Miao respectfully kowtowed: "Miao'er has seen Dad."

Xia Linxuan's eyes were red with excitement: "Be good, be good, I have wronged you, Miao'er."

Nangongmiao responded obediently: "No wronged, it is Miaoer's blessing to be able to enter Xia's house and be father's daughter-in-law, and she is not wronged at all. From today on, my daughter-in-law will take good care of my father and younger siblings."

"Hey, hurry up, get up, it's cold on the ground." Xia Linxuan urged, then turned to smile at the tombstones of Zhao and Zhen Zirou: "Xinlan (Zhao's boudoir name), Rou'er, do you see, our eldest daughter-in-law Come, are you happy?"

Shujie gently helped Nangong Miao, and Shuwen personally brought a chair: "Sister-in-law sit." He also blinked mischievously.

Shujie patted his brother's head amusedly, his heart was full of happiness.

At this time.Jin Xida, who had arranged to burn incense, came back. Shujie was about to pull Nangong Miao to kneel down, but Jin Xida stopped him with his hand, and said with a smile, "I will accept the imperial decree first, and I will worship later when you formally salute. I am still waiting to drink my daughter-in-law." Where's the tea?"

Nangong Miao had no choice but to give a blessing first: "My daughter-in-law has met her adoptive father."

The members of the Xia family who got the news have arrived one after another. The patriarch and several elders are very excited. What kind of grace will the emperor give Xia Linxuan?

Dafu Zigong cleared his throat and sang loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived. Xia Linxuan is still ill, and the emperor ordered him not to kneel, and his eldest son Xia Shujie will accept the decree on his behalf."

Shujie hurriedly brought his younger siblings to kneel down. Except for Xia Linxuan who was leaning on the recliner, everyone around him also knelt down.

Father-in-law Dafuzi unfolded the apricot-yellow imperial edict.Continue to sing: "By heaven's blessing, the emperor pardoned me, I rule the world with... Xia Linxuan... hereby." Made great achievements.Now the emperor rewards him for his meritorious deeds and bestows him with the title of Marquis.Inheriting the Five Dynasties, the title is used to return to the "Yongping" of the ancestors of the Xia family, and the book master is Yongping Hou Shizi.

The head of the Xia family kowtowed in a daze, and was helped up in a daze. Their Xia family is coming out again?Another Marquis of Yongping appeared?Several clan elders were afraid, but fortunately this branch was not let out of the clan back then.

The four of Xia Linxuan and his son got the news in advance, although everyone had big smiles on their faces.The reaction was not too exaggerated, Shujie said loudly: "Chen Xia Shujie accepted the order on behalf of my father." He raised his hands and took the imperial order.

The father-in-law of Dafuzi congratulated Xia Linxuan: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Yongping! Congratulations to the Shizi! The first-rank imperial orders of the two late wives have all come down this time. The third-rank Shuren's book and the whole set of the Shizi's wife are also brought together. Come over here. Lord Hou, these are all prepared within a day by the emperor's personal order, and the emperor is afraid that it will delay the schedule of Shizi's wife."

Xia Linxuan looked grateful: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Shu Jie also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Eunuch Fu, Eunuch Fu has come all the way, and he must rest for two more days before going back."

Father-in-law Dafu laughed and said: "Don't worry, my son, our family will drink a cup of wedding wine for the emperor."

Everyone was discussing about getting Shujie and Nangong Miao to marry tomorrow, when Shuyao, who had been staying by Xia Linxuan's side, suddenly saw her father looking up to the sky with a smile on his face, and tremblingly stretched out his right hand.

"Father, daddy" Shuyao panicked, she had heard people say what this kind of movement and this kind of state means.

Hearing her soft but urgent call, Shujie, Shuwen, and Nangongmiao all squatted down and looked at Xia Linxuan anxiously.Everyone around held their voices and held their breath, not daring to make any movement.

Although Xia Linxuan's voice was small and slow, it was very clear: "Your mother has picked me up. Miao'er, good boy, father has given you the three of Jie'er. You... are fine, father... very... happy "After speaking, he looked towards the sky again, wanting to raise his right hand again...

"Rou...er..." After all, Xia Linxuan's right hand did not lift up as he wished, and fell down less than halfway, and his eyes were closed, but the happy and warm smile on his face remained the same.

"Father---" The three brothers and sisters of Shujie burst into tears, but they didn't cry loudly or howl. They promised their father not to cry, because he left happily and went to meet his beloved wife. Children should be happy for him.

"Father---" Nangong Miao's tears were not disguised at all, she knew very well that Xia Linxuan's last words were comforting and distressing to her, how she wished to have the opportunity to take care of and serve this loving father-in-law.

Jin Xida wiped his face with his palm, and looked away with red eyes.Although life and death have become bearish, but... I still feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem", Jin Xida cleared his throat, "Uncle Rong, Tingwei told me that the coffin is set up here, so prepare well for Jie'er's marriage in the house. Although the big wedding in the hot filial piety is unavoidably crude, Tingwei I still hope that Miaoer will not be wronged too much as much as possible. Three years later, when we return to Beijing, we will entertain guests again."

"Father---" Nangong Miao burst into tears again, and Shujie held her little hand in his broad and warm hands.

Originally, the two brothers Nangong Xiao really felt that their sister had been wronged, but after hearing what Xia Linxuan said to Nangong Miao with his eyes closed just now, and what Jin Xida said at this moment, they were also moved.As long as it's worth it, those who are wronged or not can't be generalized. At least they can feel the warmth of their sister's heart at this moment.

Three days later, Xia Linxuan was buried, and Xia's residence held a simple but warm wedding ceremony, without any big banquet guests.They only invited relatives and friends from Yulin Town, mainly the clansmen and neighbors on Xitang Street, as well as people like Wang Xi, Shopkeeper Li, County Magistrate Yang, and surrounding officials who were sensitive to information and came to pay tribute to Yongping Hou Xia Linxuan.

Xia Ruoyun and Zhang Caishu arrived in a hurry on the night when Xia Linxuan closed his eyes. A month ago, the family went south to visit Zhang Caishu's sick sister. When they got home, they heard that Xia Linxuan had returned and got on the carriage again Come in a hurry.But it was a step too late.

For Xia Linxuan's appointment as a Marquis, County Magistrate Yang really regretted it, so why didn't he see any clues for so many years?

Back then, Xia Linxuan was not promoted or selected by him, and he didn't occupy the quota of the county government's arresters, but a list directly from the Ministry of Punishment. Even Xia Linxuan's salary was allocated separately.No less than his county magistrate.It can be said that in name, Xia Linxuan, the head catcher, belongs to the county government, but in fact he has no right to decide whether Xia Linxuan will stay or not, and he cannot even arrange Xia Linxuan's work with full authority.

At first, Yang Yishan thought that Xia Linxuan had some backing in the Ministry of Punishment.Tried many times.Xia Linxuan said that he occasionally did a small favor for the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice valued his hunting ability and martial arts.I want to recommend him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.But Xia Linxuan didn't want to stay in the capital and wanted to go back to Yulin, so the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice arranged for him to go to the Yulin County Government to be a head arrester, and he could help the Ministry of Justice when necessary (Yulin's geographical location is special, it is a necessary place to go to and from the capital) .

After Xia Linxuan's arrival, the Yulin County Government's ability to solve crimes and catch criminals has improved significantly, and even the county magistrate Yang Yishan received a commendation.It has also been promoted two levels, from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.

Although it hasn't moved yet.But Yang Yishan saw the value of Xia Linxuan on his way to promotion, so he was very affectionate to Xia Linxuan, and even became his brother with him.

It was also because he was blind and only focused on this one value, as soon as Xia Linxuan "died", he immediately alienated Xia Zhai.In fact, looking back now, there were still many obvious doubts in those years. If he could look a little deeper, he would have thought that Xia Linxuan had a mysterious background. Beijing has become an official in Beijing.

It's a pity... It's useless to think about it now, it's too late, not only missed Xia Linxuan's Dongfeng, but also made the three Shujie brothers and sisters take precautions against themselves, always lukewarm.

Xia Linxuan's reluctance to see him when he came back this time made him even more flustered. If Xia Linxuan was really a "ghost", it would be too easy to find out the "deal" between Murong Mansion and him!What's more, he doesn't know where Xia Linxuan went to carry out the "secret mission" in the past four years, maybe he just watched it nearby, otherwise, how would the three brothers and sisters know that they have a "ghost" and treat him so coldly?The more Yang Yishan thought about it, the more he felt that in the eyes of the Xia Zhai people, he was like a clown who had been stripped naked and didn't know it.

I have to say that Yang Yishan is a typical guilty conscience!

Alas, Yongping Hou Mansion, I could have had a very close relationship with him, but now...it seems very difficult to gain a relationship.

It was not only Yang Yishan who had the "epiphany", Murong Shangshu who was in the capital at this time was also beating his wrists and beating his feet when he received the inside information.

No wonder, no wonder, he felt strange back then, that the emperor and the empress dowager paid too much attention to Xia Zhai's three children, but he really couldn't figure out where the problem was.It turned out that they were not only for the medicinal recipe presented by Zhen Zirou, but also because Xia Linxuan was also working for the emperor, and what he was doing was still a "secret thing"!

For a celibate granddaughter, send the Murong family to the fire... Murong Shangshu trembled with anger when he thought of this, it was the mother and daughter who harmed the concubine Li, and made the Murong family in a state of disarray. After all, the unlucky little Ding family shouldn't have been allowed in back then.If Zhen Zirou had always been the eldest daughter-in-law of their Murong family, now...

Murong Shangshu is now tired of Mrs. Murong, it's not that she always wanted to pull her mother's family away, it wasn't that she encouraged Murong Ziye to do the crime of pampering concubines and destroying wives, how could there be such a series of bad things?

Thinking of Murong Ziye, Murong Shangshu frowned again. Murong Ziye has been getting drunk every day recently, and he is excitedly preparing to take an orphan girl who came to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives as his concubine.

Ever since the Qigehua incident happened, Concubine Li lost her twins, and Clan Xiao Ding was convicted of committing suicide, Murong Ziye was "angry" at Clan Ding, ashamed of Concubine Li and the Murong family. , and the "regret" for the past almost made him collapse.

It was useless to scold or even beat him up. Facing the muddy eldest son, Murong Shangshu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.If it wasn't for the fact that there were only two sons, and the second son was useless, he would really give up the eldest son.

However, for a family like theirs, they can't put the son-in-law aside and use the son-in-law to run the house, can they?Especially now that the Murong Mansion is basically on fire, if they do that, it will directly confirm their Murong family's "family tradition" of "favoring concubines and destroying wives, spoiling concubines and destroying sons-in-law".

Unexpectedly, an orphan girl from a poor family who suddenly appeared could restore Murong Ziye to normal and cheer up again.Just for this point, Murong Shangshu can't object to Murong Ziye accepting this concubine, after all, it's just a concubine.

Although the influence on Murong Ziye is a bit greater, but what kind of disturbance can a concubine who has no natal family and no family backing cause a disturbance?As long as there is no more Ding family, it will be fine.

Murong Shangshu Sifu, the most important thing is to marry Murong Ziye a virtuous and capable wife as soon as possible.A good wife and husband rarely cause harm, this time, he can no longer let Mrs. Murong continue to pull a daughter from the Ding family into the door.

Murong Shangshu already has a good candidate, and he is negotiating marriage with the woman's elder brother these days.Although the woman's identity is a bit troublesome and needs to be manipulated, he believes in his own vision.Now, only such a daughter-in-law can be the head of the Murong Mansion and help Murong Ziye.
