Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 191
Xia Xiuhe lowered his head, gave a deep bow to Yuan Guang, and said respectfully: "My surname is Xia, and my name is Xiuhe. I am here to apologize to the nobleman! My little niece was young and ignorant, and accidentally bumped into the nobleman while walking. Please There are a lot of nobles and adults, so forgive me!"

Yuan Guang felt a little bored, why did such an uncle come here?

But Le'er followed this man step by step. It seemed that he was indeed Le'er's uncle, so he had to spend some time to deal with him: "Master Xia, don't be like this! Le'er and I, neither is right or wrong, she told me Seventh brother, I call her Leer, we are very harmonious and get along well!"

"Ah? Ah! That's good... that's good!"

Xia Xiuhe was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He really wanted to get close to the rich and powerful in the capital, but he seemed not confident enough to deal with these serious nobles, and he didn't know where to start.

Yuan Guang was even more unwilling to make false claims, facing Le'er, he was full of energy and never tired, and he felt sleepy and tired after a few words with Xia Xiuhe, his knees hurt so much, Le Qing urged the third uncle to go home, He immediately agreed, telling them to go back quickly, don't worry about him, just ask the people in the hospital to hire a carriage to take him back later!

Le'er left with Xia Xiuhe and Gou Wang'er, and before leaving the door of the hospital, she turned her head and waved at Yuan Guang. She pursed her lips and did not speak, but Yuan Guang understood the pure and kind wishes in her bright eyes, because The heart that had gradually become cold after her departure was warm and soft again.

Several attendants came in, Yuan Guang asked one of them a few words, nodded reassuringly, and asked them to settle the consultation fee. He took out the purse left by Leer from the sleeve and looked at it carefully. What was embroidered was a cluster of bright roses, put it under the nose and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance of roses, untied the brocade rope at the mouth of the bag, there were some broken silver inside, and half a bag of golden beans!
Yuan Guang smiled, the kind and lovely Xiao Le'er was very generous to him, and gave him the entire purse!Is this because he is afraid that he will suffer alone in the future or something?
Picking out a golden bean and looking at it, Yuan Guang was secretly amazed: These golden beans are exquisitely made, with delicate patterns and recognizable marks on the surface, and they are actually made in the palace!Usually, these golden beans are made for the emperor, concubines, princes and concubines to give to the younger generations of the royal family during the festivals. The people who spend these golden beans most often, except for the princesses in the palace, are the princes and county palaces. Princesses and other noble ministers, if they have such golden beans, they are usually handed down from the palace.

Yuan Guang became uneasy again: Who would give Le Er such a golden bean?
After getting along for half a day, Yuan Guang knew a little bit about Le'er. He knew that Le'er's family background was good, but it was unlikely that she came from a prominent family, because the noble girls from high-ranking families often had eyes above the top, arrogant and domineering, and they would not be like Le'er. The son was in such a hurry, he dragged a boy to run around the street without avoiding suspicion... She said that her surname was Xia, and the third uncle who came just now also called himself Xia. According to Yuan Guang's knowledge, there is no particularly famous person in the capital. People with the surname Xia, unless he was a new rich man with the surname Xia in the past few years after he left the capital, how could Le'er have the chance to get the golden beans made in the palace, and there are so many of them!

Returning to the Xiangwang Mansion, which was still under renovation, Yuan Guang sat on the broad chair in the front hall and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The attendant came to his side and whispered: "Your Highness, the guard who escorted that girl home is back!"

Yuan Guang immediately opened his eyes, sat up straight and said, "What did they say?"

"The girl followed the adult in a carriage and got off in front of a mansion on Ji'an Street. The word 'Xiafu' was written on the door of the mansion. The guards wanted to do some more inquiries, but they were obstructed intentionally, but they happened to know each other. people……"

"People you know? Who knows who?"

"His Royal Highness: That Xia Mansion was originally the home of the father-in-law of Marquis Zheng Hou of Rong Ping! And the girl who fell down the steps with His Highness is the younger sister of Marquis Rong Ping, Second Miss Xia! Marquis Rong Ping left with the Fourth Highness Beijing, but the guards of the Marquis Mansion are sent to patrol the Xia Mansion on duty, the two hidden guards who followed Miss Xia just now were brought to you by His Highness the Fourth Highness, they used to meet the guards of the Rongping Marquis Mansion often, so they recognize each other!"

Yuan Guang was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "So it was him! Leer's golden beans were given by him!"

A little unhappy, I thought about it for a while, and then stretched my brows: It should be given by Mrs. Rong Pinghou, right?That's right, that Xia Yiqing who has been famous for a long time but has never met!Leer was actually her younger sister!No wonder Le'er has the scent of roses on her body. Marquis Rong Ping once said that his wife Xia Yiqing likes roses, and her sisters have been with her since she was a child, so they naturally like the same thing!My sister's name is Xia Yiqing, and my sister's name is... Could it be Xia Yile?

Yuan Guang asked: "After they were thwarted, did they stop inquiring?"

The servant replied: "The guards of the Marquis of Rongping have told them: Miss Xia's boudoir name is Xia Leqing..."

Yuan Guang raised his hand to caress his forehead: Le'er, I'm sorry, I guessed your name wrong!
"...Xia's mansion has relatives from Jiangnan recently. There are too many miscellaneous things in the mansion, and it is chaotic every day. Master Xia and his wife have no time to take care of the second girl because of family affairs, so she sneaked out from the back side door today while taking advantage of the chaos. During the day, no one noticed it until it was dark and it was time to deliver dinner, only to find that the second girl was nowhere to be found. Master Xia was jumping in a hurry, the eldest lady was crying all the time, and the guards were running around like headless flies. We discussed going to report to Mrs. Rong Pinghou to know, and saw that the second girl went back to the mansion with that Mr. Xia San!"

"Why is the Xia Mansion in such a mess?"

"Cough! The guards said that after Mr. Xia came to the capital from other provinces to take up his duties in the capital, he was in charge of the sixth-rank household department. Three rooms, only the head of the house, Mr. Xia, is famous. The old man and the old lady are above, and Mrs. Rong Pinghou is the granddaughter of the head of the house. Master Xia supports..."

Yuan Guang frowned: "It's nothing more than spending more money to support relatives and family members, but if it's because of the chaos in the house, the Eldest Master and Elder Madam are too busy taking care of housework, and don't even know that their own daughter is gone." , This is too much! Isn’t the Xia Mansion very spacious, can it accommodate three people? The brothers have already married and married, so they can live separately, and take care of their own affairs!”

The attendant said: "I've already mentioned this, the mansion is full of noise today because of the separation of the family! I heard that this newly renovated Xia's mansion is a blessed house that Lord Rong Pinghou found for his father-in-law. If you say that the square courtyard is wide enough, people living in three or four rooms will not be crowded, but Mr. Xia wants to separate the two brothers to live alone, the old lady refuses, and the brothers are not willing, this is a mess Already!"

"Then we can't tell?"

"This, the subordinates don't know about it! It seems that they are inseparable, because they have to deal with one thing together at the moment - Mr. Xia and his wife had a son together a few years ago, and it will be a hundred days. A banquet will be held on the eighth day of April to celebrate the [-]th day, housewarming and promotion!"

Yuan Guang raised his eyebrows: "Le'er actually has a newborn baby brother! So it's three blessings?"

"Your Highness, that's exactly the case!"

"The eighth day of April? What day is it today? How many days away?"

"Today is March 23, so far away!"

Yuan Guang's heart is itching, there is still half a month to go, and it will be too late to bring it up to the public. It is not common for princes to discuss relatives. If they want to alarm the palace, people from the Ministry of Etiquette must come forward to do it. With that set of regulations, it will kill you in a hurry people!According to Yuan Guang's meaning, I really want to make an appointment with Mr. Xia in private, so that I can feel at ease and attend the grand wedding banquet of the Xia family as the prospective son-in-law!

But he knows in his heart that now is not the time for him to act rashly and willfully!
In the current capital city, from the court halls to the folk streets and alleys, if you take a closer look, you can feel a very strange atmosphere, especially after the first prince Yuan Ji and the fourth prince Yuan Zhao left the capital to go north and south. It became clearer and clearer that it seemed that the influence of the fifth prince Yuan Yang spread all over the capital. In the streets and alleys, teahouses and bars, people not only talked and praised the fifth prince Yuan Yang, but also talked about the other princes from time to time. The second prince and the third prince often It was taken away by a sentence or two, but the sixth prince and the seventh prince who had just returned to the capital, people talked relatively more, using a relaxed and harmless tone.

Because among the people who deliberately spread those topics, Yuan Feng, the sixth prince who originally favored the eldest prince Yuan Ji, has changed his position since he married a woman from the Yu family as the princess.

As for the Seventh Prince Yuan Guang, it is said that he is a boy who does not want to grow up and has a bit of an awkward temperament but is very pure. Judging from the fact that the Seventh Prince returned to the capital without any publicity and noise, people also believe him He is indeed a low-key and withdrawn person who doesn't like disputes!

These two grown-up princes, whose birth mothers are humble and have no strengths or influence, have not been loved by the emperor since childhood, and they are not a threat in the eyes of Empress Yu and the fifth prince. A point or two to help.

Empress Yu planned this, and Yuan Guang was happy to cater to it.

So at this juncture, there are some things that he can't do at will, for example, he'd better not get close to people or things related to Qin Palace for the time being!
The Xia Mansion is the home of the father-in-law of Rongping Hou Zheng Jingyan, and Zheng Jingyan is equivalent to the mind and shadow of the Qin King Yuan Zhao, and has an endless hostile relationship with the Wei King Yuan Yang. That's tantamount to expressing your position. Doing so will lead to serious consequences!

He himself has nothing to worry about, but the mission he shoulders cannot continue with the trust of the fourth brother. This is definitely a huge blow to the fourth brother. It is related to the lives and deaths of many people, and it is not a joke!

Yuan Guang frowned, leaned on the back of the chair and sighed: Le'er, Le'er, why are you the daughter of the Xia family?

At first, I thought that as long as I found out about Le Er's address, I could visit her tomorrow. After that, I would see her often so that Le Er could see what I wanted. I believed that Le Er would also like me, but now... oh!She is Mrs. Rong Pinghou's younger sister!To be careful, he has to avoid suspicion, it is best not to have any contact with Le'er, so as not to be found out by the queen and the fifth brother's people and cause suspicion!
Not eating or drinking, he was absent-minded for a long time, Yuan Guang finally adjusted himself, called his servant, and ordered: "No one is allowed to mention today's matter! From tomorrow onwards, I will not wear this mask, even if I meet Miss Leer, I will pretend not to Knowing her... just pretending, Miss Le'er is the one I want to protect! It's best not to let her go out of the house in the near future. The two hidden guards who followed me just now, and two more, will only focus on Xia Xia from now on. Mansion, follow Miss Le'er, if anything goes wrong, report it immediately!"

The servant reminded: "Your Highness, there are already people sent by Marquis Rong Ping at the Xia Mansion..."

Yuan Guang glanced at him: "Pretend not to know each other, and do our own thing!"

The valet froze for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, I understand!"

"One more thing," Yuan Guang rubbed his forehead, "I promised to give Le'er a rose tree, and I can't break my promise! You will lead someone to dig out more than a dozen plants, wrap them up carefully, and send them to Xia Mansion overnight. The guards of the Hou Mansion on duty, let them find a way to place it near where Leer lives, and teach her to find out... She knows it was sent by Brother Qi!"

"Uh, this..."

You just said you have to pretend you don't know each other, but you can recognize them when you need to do something?Is this okay?

The attendant stared blankly at the Seventh Prince who was smiling slightly and lost in his thoughts, so he had to bow and retreat: Well, sometimes strangers can just say something casually, so why not pretend to talk to someone you don't know?Do it for the camera!
