Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 217 Dead Branches
Ye Shusheng couldn't stop him, his brow was sweating in a hurry, he wasn't quick-witted, and this time he was really ruthless, the fourth prince's footsteps were extremely fast, Ye Shusheng trotted to keep up, his back was sweating in a hurry , but saw Jiang Hong striding over from behind the rockery with a sullen face.

The fourth prince stopped abruptly, Ye Shusheng staggered back and forth for several times before stopping steadily, Jiang Hong looked at the two of them in surprise, the gloom on his face was replaced by a gentle smile, he cupped his hands and said with a smile; "This is fourth master? "

"I'm going to visit the Jicui Pavilion!" The fourth prince's words were not in a good mood, and Jiang Hong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly pointed forward and said with a smile: "The Jicui Pavilion is in front, and the terrain is low there, no matter how big it is in winter In the past, I used to study there with Jingzhi." Jiang Hong behaved generously and looked natural, but the jealousy in the fourth prince's heart had already been suppressed, and he just sneered in his heart, raised his hand and said: "Yan Hui Walk with me."

Jiang Hong sensed something was wrong with the fourth prince, so he quickly agreed with a smile, and led him sideways, while introducing the flowers, vines and trees on both sides, while walking towards the Jicui Pavilion.

There was no one inside or outside the Jicui Pavilion, this place was the junction of the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, no matter if it was the flower festival of the inner courtyard or the literary society of the outer courtyard, it would not be arranged to use this place.

The Fourth Prince stood in the Jicui Pavilion with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face for half an hour before turning back.

Far away, Xu Jie had already run to the flower dock where Li Yunshang was hiding in one breath, and threw herself into Li Yunshang's arms, crying uncontrollably. Panicked and frightened, he looked around non-stop, anxious and frightened, and cried out, "Don't cry, let people hear...there are so many people in the garden, if people can hear you, don't cry, you can't cry! "Li Yunshang was so frightened that he didn't bother to ask Xu Jie how he went to see Jiang Hong, why he saw him like this.

If Xu Jie knew that everything cannot be controlled by her own temper, she would not be obsessed with Jiang Hong. Li Yunshang's gentle persuasion was useless, and Xu Jie was choked up crying.

"Huh? What's the matter? Why are you crying like this?" Ye Twelve Niang poked her head out from behind the flowers, and screamed.

"Who's crying?" Lin Ke pushed aside Ye Shiriniang and squeezed forward, and Jiang Shan also stretched her neck to look.

"Come on! Mrs. Xu Liu is crying to death!" Ye Twelve Niang never followed the usual path of concern. Standing behind the flowers, she jumped and waved her hands and yelled. Li Yunshang's head was buzzing and her mouth was dry. Dry, what should I do?
Xu Jie was still crying bitterly, nothing was as important as the fact that she was wronged.

Jiang Shan gently pulled Lin Ke, whose eyes were shining brightly, and muttered: "What you said to her just now... don't watch this excitement." Lin Ke has been with Li Tian and Yu Yaofang for so many years, and his eyelids are extremely lively As soon as Jiang Shan reminded her, she suddenly understood. She dragged Jiang Shan and ran back ten steps, raised her chin and said, "When there are too many people, let's follow." Jiang Shan nodded.

There was a commotion in the garden, Grandma Liu came over the fastest, hurriedly smiled and said: "Sixth sister was not feeling well yesterday, she has always been delicate, she must feel sad." As she spoke, she waved her hands to make the old woman stand up Xu Jie and Li Yunshang were swept away like a gust of wind.

When Li Tian and Yu Yaofang rushed over, everyone had already dispersed. Ye Shiriniang pulled Li Tian and whispered to Li Tian excitedly and mysteriously. After Li Tian and Yu Yaofang listened , and didn't take it too seriously, Xu Jie hadn't been able to get along with others since she was a child, and she was full of arrogance and coquettishness, and even the slightest bit of grievance could make her cry out loud.

Coming out of the Xu Mansion, Jiang Hong thought about meeting the fourth prince, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. When he was about to get home, he suddenly stopped his horse and told the servant: "Go and invite Xu Qiye, just say that I am looking for him." If you have something to do, go to Fanlou." The servant promised and pulled his horse away.

Before Xu Sihai got home, he was lured to Fanlou by the servant. When he entered the private room, he saw Jiang Hong standing in front of the window with a sullen face, holding a glass of wine. He didn't even notice that he came in. Xu Sihai looked up He said, "You called me so urgently, what happened?"

"It's not a big deal." Jiang Hong came to his senses, and asked Xu Jie to ask Xu Sijing to lead his mother-in-law to the Jicui Pavilion and when she came back, she met the fourth prince, and the abnormality of the fourth prince, and said in detail, frowning: " When I came back from Jicui Pavilion, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, there must be something strange in it.”

"What did the sixth sister tell you? Let you marry her?" Xu Sihai's focus was on another matter, Jiang Hong said 'hmm', and was unwilling to say more because of boredom, Xu Sihai's forehead was on fire: "She is a daughter, Shameless? What does she want to do?"

"It's not that I dislike her, it's really..." Jiang Hong explained reluctantly, Xu Sihai waved his hand and interrupted him: "It's not your fault, the sixth younger sister is not good enough for you, this is what Dad said, Sir also said that, you are the leader of this generation of the Jiang family, the wife you marry is to be the wife of the Jiang family, let alone the wife of the sixth sister, she can hardly even be the head of the house, no, I have to hurry Go back and tell Dad about this, don't say too much, it's not your business, nor hers alone, it's a decent rule of the Xu family, you don't know, Sixth Sister is in the back garden today...Look Shichen, after you turned around and left, she was wailing in the back garden, and my mother called me into the car angrily, and complained to me all the way, I have to go back quickly, in case something ugly happens, it's not just embarrassing It's up!"

Jiang Hong sighed deeply. He naturally understood Xu Sihai's words. His father had just been transferred to the Minister of Rites. If such a scandal happened in the family, a bullet would be posted, and if it was serious, the official voice would be hindered. If it was serious, he would be dismissed. It's all happened!

Xu Sihai strode away, Jiang Hong poured a glass of wine, stood in front of the window again, stared out of the window in a daze.

Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, Madam Sun listened attentively to a woman who reported the gossip about today's Wenhui and Huahui in Xu's Mansion, and asked carefully for a long time, with a flash of satisfaction in her eyes, she waved her hand and dismissed the woman. .Nanny Lu went forward and ordered a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Sun and said with a smile: "To tell the truth from my ancestors, I have always been worried about Twelve Niangs. I didn't expect Twelve Niangs to do such a good job. After all, it was the ancestors who judged by others." allow."

"Twelve Girls is a solid-eyed girl, but she is very lucky. If others can't catch up, she can catch up. Unfortunately, she lacks aura." Mrs. Sun said slowly, and Mother Lu smiled: "Who are you?" If there are perfect ones, if they are all like the uncle, then our family will be able to pay for it?"

"Big Brother." Mrs. Sun lowered her voice, thinking of Ye Shusheng, she shook her head with a disappointed expression: "He also lacks aura, his luck is not as good as that of Twelfth Sister, and his heart is worse than Twelfth Sister, alas, Add and add, that's all, the two generations of the Ye family..." Mrs. Sun was full of worries in her loss.

"I can't think of a better one. How can they all be like the ancestors? Like the ancestors and officials, to put it bluntly, there won't be a single one in hundreds of years." Mother Lu said with a smile. Seeing Mrs. Sun's heart, Mrs. Sun understood what she meant, she smiled and did not continue, and changed the subject: "Fourth brother is not allowed to be touched by others, and he has an irritable temper. He has inherited the big position. This one It's a big taboo." The expression on Madam Lu's face became serious, and she said cautiously, "It's changed a lot from when I was a child."

"If it was an official family, since I became suspicious at that time, I would definitely not rush to break it. Alas, if it were an official family, why would Rong Tian marry someone else? Forget it, I'm old, and I'm a little confused It's over." Mother Lu laughed along and didn't dare to answer, it was beyond her ability to answer.

The two were talking, and the little girl outside reported loudly: "My son, please see the old ancestor."

"Quickly tell him to come in!" Mrs. Sun hurriedly ordered, and Nanny Lu stood at the door of the wing room and drew the curtain.

Ye Shusheng hurried into the wing room, saluted with a long bow, turned to look at Nanny Lu and said, "Please go to the door and watch." Nanny Lu hurriedly agreed and stood at the door of the outer room.

"Old ancestor, the fourth master just told me that the imperial concubine asked him to take in Mrs. Sun Jiu, and he has already agreed." Ye Shusheng's expression was extremely complicated. The imperial concubine did not discuss such a major matter with the Ye family, nor did the fourth master discuss it with Ye. The family mentioned that, in his opinion, this was a sign of the Ye family falling out of favor.

"What!" Mrs. Sun, who was lying on the kang, sat upright all of a sudden: "Pass me the sign and see you! I will enter the palace at dawn tomorrow! Sun Jiani can't accept it, at least not now!"

"Old ancestor." Ye Shusheng said with a wry smile: "The fourth master said that the noble concubine has already obtained the order from the official family, and she said yes." Ye Shusheng looked at Mrs. Sun's ashen face, and lowered his voice: "Say it's Mrs. Sun Jiu She is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, with a noble status, and she has invited a special edict to be named the second-rank Junjun, and the noble concubine also said." Ye Shusheng's voice became lower: "It is said that it will be carried into the mansion in a lively manner."

Mrs. Sun trembled slightly in anger, raised her hand to caress her chest, and suddenly let out a long breath, her body softened and leaned heavily on the back pillow. Ye Shusheng was frightened, and Mrs. Sun raised her hand with a dejected expression, and closed her eyes. Eyes panted for a long time before he could speak: "They are all grown up, and they all have ideas. They think I, an old woman, are in the way."

"Grandmother! Auntie definitely doesn't mean that! Auntie must think it's a trivial matter, but it's just that fourth master took a concubine. Auntie thinks it's a trivial matter, so she didn't discuss it with you." Ye Shusheng knelt on the kang, holding Mrs. Sun tightly One hand said eagerly.

Mrs. Sun kept shaking her head. Ye Shusheng got up quickly, lifted the curtain and called Nanny Lu to come in. Nanny Lu saw Mrs. Sun's face, her legs were weak from fright, and she rushed to the red sandalwood cabinet in the corner of the kang , opened the cabinet and took a bottle of Suhexiang wine, held it to Mrs. Sun's mouth, and waited for her to drink two or three sips.Mrs. Sun drank the wine, her complexion gradually improved, she took a long breath, motioned to Ye Shusheng and said, "Sit here and talk to the grandma."

Ye Shusheng hurriedly got up and sat next to Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun raised her hand to caress his face, with a smile on her face: "You are a good boy. I heard that King Shou has already asked for a fight?"
