Chapter 135

"Don't you blow your beard and stare at me? Get scared and get down?" Song Yong laughed.

After laughing for a while, seeing He Qinghou and Mrs. Su really lying on the ground motionless, Song Yong realized that his eldest brother and sister-in-law had really passed out. He panicked, knelt down and called urgently, "Brother, brother!"

He yelled a lot but couldn't wake him up. Song Yong got angry and raised his voice to call out, "Who's outside? Get out of here!" There was a maid guarding the door, and when he heard Song Yong's roar, he pushed away tremblingly. The door came in, "What's the order of the second master?" Just after asking, he saw He Qinghou and Mrs. Su lying on the ground, their faces were pale, and they screamed, "Master Hou, madam!"

"What's the ghost's name?" Song Yong said angrily, "Hurry up and call for a doctor! Also, call a few more people over and carry Master Hou and Madam to the couch!"

The maid repeatedly agreed and stumbled away.

Ask the doctor to make soup and medicine, and I am too busy to bark.

He Qinghou and Mrs. Su were just frightened and fainted, of course it is not a serious illness, they can wake up after pinching someone.But they both felt it was too embarrassing to see others, so they both lay on the bed and pretended to be sick.How could Qiao Sirou's mother and son not understand the inside story?It was considered all the etiquette to come to greet him politely, and then he didn't pay much attention to it, but the adopted Song Changlin personally accompanied the doctor to read the prescription, made the soup and medicine by himself, and did his best.

Mrs. Tai was already almost recovered from her illness. When she heard that her eldest son and daughter-in-law passed out at the same time, she was very distressed and shed tears.

Qiao Sirou was anxious, "At this juncture, Mrs. Tai must take care of herself." After calling Song Yong and explaining the important things several times, Song Yong patted his chest and assured, "Madam, don't worry, leave it to me!" Went to talk to Mrs. Tai for a while, first boasted about how beautiful Song Changchun's marriage was, and then said dissatisfied: "Mother, elder brother and sister-in-law are fine, it's okay, just jealous of me." Stop crying, and hurriedly defended He Qinghou, "Your elder brother is not such a person! Ah Yong, there must be a misunderstanding here, you and him are brothers born to your mother, and there is no such thing in the world. People are closer than the two of you!" Song Yong snorted, "Since they are all yours, don't favor one over the other, it's fair and fair, if you love elder brother, you have to love me too! Eldest brother is jealous of me , Pretend to be sick, and you still worry about him, that's not okay!" Mrs. Tai was extremely wronged, "I didn't. I really didn't."——With Song Yong messing around with her, why did she cry?There is no such effort at all.

Song Yong was sent to deal with Mrs. Tai, He Qinghou and his wife, and Qiao Sirou took care of the second son's marriage.

She was able to do it, and with the help of the eldest son and daughter-in-law like Xu Chuanjie, everything was in order.

The Marquis of Heqing's mansion was in turmoil because of this marriage, and the mansion of the Founding Duke was not much better. Both Chang Xu and Jiang were ashamed and indignant.

Not only did the Qiao family reject Chang Na, but they quickly offered Qiao Zhijun to Song Changchun, and the emperor and empress even acted as matchmakers for the Qiao family!This blow was really one after another, and it made the Founding Duke's family lose face.

"This Qiao family is hateful, and so is the Song family!" Jiang was ashamed and angry, her face turned purple, and she didn't dare to complain about the emperor and queen, so she poured out all her stomach in Qiao's Lane and Heqinghou's mansion, "They are cousins Ah, if you want to get married, you should have done it 800 years ago! It's not sure sooner or later, they will make it as soon as we go to propose marriage! Grandpa Guo, the Qiao family and the Song family are obviously playing tricks on us!"

Chang Xu was also very annoyed, "Concubine Zhou has no other sisters, if Ne'er gets into trouble, alas..."

What he was worried about was that Chang Na would be messed up, arguing endlessly with his parents about marrying a wife.

Jiang cried angrily, "That's right, what about Ne'er? This half-child just likes to mess around and make troubles. Once he gets married and has a family, he will be born in peace. Seeing that Ne'er is going to marry a wife and start a family, Everything will be fine in the future, but the Song family is going to take advantage of the fire!" Those who believed that Song Changchun had robbed Chang Ne's "wife" were gnashing their teeth when they mentioned the Heqinghou Mansion.

The couple had been worried that Chang Na would not be able to bear it if he found out, and would quarrel with his parents, but they didn't.

Chang Na was very disappointed, "I took a look at the girl from the Qiao family from a distance, and said she was her cousin, but she was not at all like her. Forget it."

After hearing this, Chang Xu and Jiang felt relieved.

Letting go of this heart, the couple took on another heart: Does Chang Na look at Princess Zhou differently?That's his cousin, don't make mistakes!What kind of temperament is King Zhou? If he finds any clues, it's fine.

Chang Xu cautiously reminded his precious son, "Ner, coveting other people's wives is one of the biggest evil deeds, and it must not be done." Chang Ne's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Impatient , Slam the door and leave.

"How dare you treat me like this!" Chang Xu slapped the table angrily.

With tears in her eyes, Jiang persuaded him, "Master, don't be angry, who made him the only one of us!"

Chang Xu sighed helplessly.

Yes, who made him only have such a son.Raised alone, too delicate, what ended up not being the son being afraid of the father, but the father being afraid of the son.

Although Chang Na didn't make trouble, Jiang was still unhappy, "I've let the word out, but the marriage didn't work out, so I don't have the face to go out to meet people!" Chang Xu blamed, "The marriage is not settled yet, what did you say? But I can’t blame anyone else, it’s all your fault.” Jiang was aggrieved, “How could I have thought that the marriage would not work out? Na’er has such an identity and character, and she is lucky to be willing to marry a girl from Qiao’s family! The family society is so ignorant that they just want to give shame to the Founding Duke’s mansion. Isn’t it shame to the Queen? Who dares to do so?” Speaking of this, she was even more aggrieved, “Who knew that the Queen would actually... oh, the Duke Lord, the queen is too ruthless."

Chang Xu was taken aback, looked around quickly, saw that he was in the inner room, and there were no other people around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and reprimanded: "Just let me hear what you said just now, that's all. If it gets to your father's ears or gets out, you should be careful!" Mrs. Jiang also looked around, then patted her chest in fear, "Fortunately, you know me, God knows it, and no one else knows it. .” Chang Xu snorted.

There was a knock on the door of "Duk Tuk".

"Who?" Mrs. Jiang was terrified when she heard the knock on the door and jumped.

"Master, madam, the old man ordered someone to summon you." A maid's voice sounded outside the door.

"Ah?" Jiang slumped on the chair, her face turned pale, "Father told us to go there, what will happen?"

Chang Xu was not much better than her, he was anxious, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

The two looked at each other with fear in their hearts.But the old man asked someone to call, and they didn't dare to procrastinate, so they bit the bullet and went.

Although the old man is seventy years old, he still loves to dance with knives and guns. He has built a martial arts hall in the Duke of Chu's mansion.Chang Xu and Jiang walked into the Martial Arts Hall tremblingly. The hall was extremely spacious, with various kinds of weapons displayed on both sides, and it became darker and murderous as they walked in.

The two felt more and more uncertain.

Standing next to the weapon rack in front of him was a tall figure, dragging a bright long knife in his hand, with a dignified expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chang Xu and Jiang's knees softened and they knelt down.

Chang Xu was only sweating on his forehead, Jiang's concentration was much worse than him, and he fell on the ground, trembling with fright.

The old man stared at the long knife in his hand, and slowly said: "I have spent half my life as a soldier, and I don't know how many people's blood has been drunk with this long knife. Alas, when I think of the murders I committed back then, I don't know if it will be punished by my descendants..."

Chang Xu was terrified when he heard it.

"Father." He knelt and crawled two steps forward, pleadingly said: "Don't think so, the world is in chaos, if you don't kill others, you will be killed."

"It's true." The old man smiled lightly, his voice was desolate, "If I didn't kill others, I would have already arrived at the Hall of Yama."

Chang Xu felt uncomfortable, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, father."

The old man wiped the long knife in his hand with a cloth, and said unhurriedly: "The Chang family can have today, who wouldn't say that I am prosperous? My daughter became a queen, and the eldest and second sons were granted the title of duke of the country. The three princes are all my grandsons. They have lost their grandfather since they were young. As my grandfather, I am actually similar to my grandfather. The third son often followed me to live in Chu State’s mansion when he was young. Follow my cousins ​​and call him grandfather."

"That's it." Chang Xu squeezed out an ugly smile.

That is, you are so biased that your grandson is better than your own grandson...

"Is it easy for the Chang family to have today?" The old man asked lightly.

"It's not easy." Chang Xu kowtowed his head respectfully, "Father spent half his life in the army, fighting south and north, that's why the Chang family is what it is today."

The old man looked at Jiang Shi with piercing eyes, and asked, "Daughter-in-law Erlang, is it easy for the Chang family to have today?"

Jiang kowtowed in fear and trepidation, "It's not easy to answer my father's words. My father's business is difficult, and my daughter-in-law knows it."

The old man snorted and said in a deep voice: "Since you know that starting a business is not easy, you should be vigilant and don't do anything wrong! The world only sees the scenery of the Chang family, but they don't know the difficulties of the Chang family. Don't you know? The higher the status, It gets heavier when you fall, understand?"

He looked down at Chang Xu and Jiang Shi, "I earned the title of Founding Duke through bloody battles. If you dare to feel dissatisfied in your hearts and do things that are not good for the Chang family..." At this point, his tone was severe, Although the following words were not clearly stated, they made people shudder even more.

"My son dare not."

"Daughter-in-law dare not."

Chang Xu and Jiang Shi felt chills on their necks and kowtowed repeatedly.

Jiang Shi was even less courageous, thinking of the bright knife light, there was a cry in his voice.

When she came out of the Martial Arts Hall, Jiang couldn't move, Chang Xu had no choice but to support her to move forward.

Both of them were embarrassed.

Qiao Siqi resigned due to Ding You, and has been silent for three years since then, returning to Shuntian Mansion after three years, is one happy event after another.First, his niece was registered as Princess Zhou, and then he was appointed as Minister of the Household Department. Now, his daughter is about to leave the cabinet, and the emperor and empress personally act as a matchmaker.

"Brother Yu, come to my little sister and brother-in-law to hide and be quiet." Qiao Siqi said with a smile when he visited Yu's house as a guest to see Uncle Yu's condition.

Good things happen one after another, not only others are envious, but even he himself feels overwhelmed.

"Brother, please sit down." Uncle Yu was able to walk on the ground, and gave up his seat with a smile.

"Hide." Qiao Shi pursed her lips and smiled.

As an aunt and aunt, the matter of Qiao Zhijun and Song Changchun really made her very happy, and she didn't know how to celebrate.

The maid served tea, and the three of them sat around the table, chatting about family matters.

When Qiao Siqi mentioned the marriage of his youngest daughter, he still couldn't believe it, "Brother-in-law, little sister, sometimes brother-in-law thinks about it, it seems like a dream." Qiao smiled, "Brother, why don't I pinch you? If it hurts, you will know that you are not dreaming." Qiao Siqi really stretched out his arm, "Little sister, pinch hard."

Talking and laughing, the two brothers and sisters were very happy.

Uncle Yu was just recovering from a serious illness, smiling gently, not as energetic as the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family.

Qiao Siqi came to visit her brother-in-law on the one hand, and on the other hand, she really came to hide for quietness. She talked with Qiao for half a day, and played two games of chess with Uncle Yu before Fang Shi left abruptly.

After sending Qiao Siqi away, Qiao Si happily told Uncle Yu, "Brother has said it several times, even Ah Jun has such a blessing, it shows how our Long'er is at ease in the palace, it is gratifying."

Uncle Yu smiled slightly, with bitterness and melancholy in his smile.

Qiao didn't realize it, and thought about it enthusiastically, "Ah Jun is out of the cabinet, what should we add to her? Changchun married a wife, and we also have to give gifts. Hee hee, both sides have to worry about it, it's too busy."

"Yes, some are busy." Uncle Yu agreed casually.

Although Jingxi is still keeping her filial piety, she is still very concerned about the affairs of the Marquis of Heqing, and she soon found out about it.

"Three brothers of the Song family, the eldest son married the daughter of the Marquis of Chongshan, and the second son married the daughter of the servant, but my father is just a raiser." Jing Xie couldn't help but feel aggrieved when she compared the family backgrounds of the three sisters-in-law of the Song family.

However, after comparing the identities of the three brothers of the Song family, she regained her spirits, "The third son was adopted by Lord Hou, and he has already asked him to be the son of the prince. In the future, Heqinghou's mansion will be his! Girls from the Xu family and the Qiao family , no matter how much your family background is better than me, you will never be as good as me in the future!"

Thinking that she would be Mrs. He Qinghou in the future, her cheeks were flushed and she was intoxicated.

However, later, Jingxi learned that the founding father and his wife had proposed marriage to Qiao Zhijun, his face was pale, he looked tired, and he fell ill.

She is not stupid, she can even be called smart, and she can guess why the founding father and his wife proposed marriage to Qiao Zhijun - if Qiao Zhijun was not the cousin of Princess Zhou, the situation would not be like this.

"She's just a cousin, and I'm a cousin." Jingxi was feverish and her thoughts were confused, "If I'm not engaged yet, there is a chance, right? Just wait, really just wait... If Wait a little longer, I can still be the Duke's wife, but my mother doesn't have to die..."

Jingxi was in excruciating pain.

Jing Xi has been lingering on the sick bed for two months, and when she gradually recovers, Qiao Zhijun has married Song Changchun in a dignified way, and has become the second young lady of Heqinghoufu.

Su Shengchun married into Uncle Zhongding's residence and lived a sweet life.
