Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 48

Mother Xia, who had just returned to Princess Mansion after leaving Yan Mansion, put down her burden after hearing the message from her servants. Even Dong Lian didn't have time to settle down, so she hurried to the main courtyard.

As soon as I walked to the middle of the yard, I heard a loud noise in the house.

Xia's mother's face changed, she didn't think much, she pushed the door and went into the house.

The maid who was guarding the outer room was about to speak when she was waved away by Mama Xia with a serious expression.

Mother Xia took a deep breath, opened the curtain and got in.The curtain was quickly drawn down, and the servant girl who was guarding outside could only see the flower tables and plum vases that had fallen on the ground.

Mother Xia entered the room and immediately frowned.He took out the handkerchief from his bosom and walked forward: "No matter how angry the princess is, she can't suffer with her own body."

Princess Danyang was heartbroken, Mama Xia carefully wrapped her in a handkerchief, and then helped her to sit on the collapsed bed.Then he turned around and brought out a copper basin to a corner of the room, and a white porcelain vase in his other hand.

Mother Xia picked out a new towel and carefully wiped off the blood on Princess Danyang's hands, then opened the porcelain bottle and poured out brown powder from it.

"It's just a cut, so there's no need to use the tribute wound medicine." Princess Danyang said disapprovingly, but even though she said so, she still stretched out her hand honestly.Having been together for so many years, Princess Danyang is the most aware of Mama Xia's temper. If she doesn't follow her, her ears will be itchy.

Xia's mother frowned and said: "The princess is still young, and she is not in the past. Don't talk about such a hole now, it is just a hole made by an embroidery needle, so you have to be careful. This wound medicine, isn't it just for people to use?" It’s right. The princess doesn’t need it, why don’t you take it out and throw it to someone else.” Mother Xia was already familiar with the princess, and she was used to speaking casually.

Princess Danyang smiled wryly when she heard the words: "If I knew, I should have sent all these things to Brother Chen in the first place."

Xia's mother paused, raised her head and asked nervously, "Did something happen to Brother Chen?"

Princess Danyang looked even more bitter: "I'm afraid it's even worse than this."

Could it be that Mother Xia looked at Princess Danyang in horror.

Princess Danyang nodded: "The son-in-law and Ruier are still in the palace now, and the palace is now under martial law. If Yier hadn't come out with Mrs. Xu, how would I know this news." Wang Rui is the son of Princess Danyang and Wang Tang, married Xu Shi, the granddaughter of Duke Yong'an.Mr. Yong'an is a veteran of several generations, a loyal and loyal family, if not so, he might not be able to get out.

"How could it be?" Mother Xia murmured, "What about the Rong family?"

"The Rong family..." It's okay not to mention, but when the Rong family was mentioned, Princess Danyang became even more angry.

Mother Xia kept her mouth shut, knowing that the Rong family must have caused something to happen, which made the princess angry.Maybe the flowers just now were also because of the Rong family.I only hate that Rong Tian is a spoiled concubine and destroys his wife. If he could care about Brother Chen, Brother Chen would not go to southern Xinjiang in desperation.

After a long while, Princess Danyang sighed and said, "From now on, let's just assume that the Rong family is not a relative. Let's only recognize Brother Chen. As long as...but brother Chen can come back." For so many years, Princess Danyang has been dissatisfied with the Rong family. But for the sake of Rong Chen, he has been holding back his temper and only made contacts with distant relatives.During the Chinese New Year, they would also go to give New Year's gifts, but the news that came today made Princess Danyang really disappointed with Rong Tian's father.

Mama Xia had already wrapped the wound.

"I'm afraid that those few people have tampered with the matter in southern Xinjiang. It's just that Brother Chen is a smart person, and he only hopes to escape safely. If he can return safely, the crime of running away will be regarded as a shame for me. , but also to ask for one." Nanjiang was defeated, and the news came that the prince's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts have not been found.Now that he is furious, even if Rong Chen returns safely, he will be angered and charged with desertion.It's just that if they stay in the southern border, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous. If those people really want to deal with the prince, how can they let everyone look for the prince in the southern border.

"Brother Chen will be safe and sound." Mama Xia comforted her in a low voice.

Princess Danyang just shook her head.

"I have asked Yi'er to take my token and run around the capital. If Brother Chen can get it back, that's fine. If you can't come back..." I'm afraid he died in southern Xinjiang.

Martial law began in the palace, and several people in Beijing were watching secretly.No matter whether it is the prince or anyone, it is not easy to get in and out.Xia's mother thought, no wonder when she came out of Yan's mansion, there were always people watching near the carriage along the way.If it wasn't for the sign of the Princess Mansion hanging on the carriage, I'm afraid it would have to be checked several times.

. .

On the way to Uncle Ruyang's mansion with the dowry list, Mr. Yan was stopped by the officers and soldiers to stop the carriage and interrogated him several times before he finally arrived at the gate of Uncle Ruyang's mansion.

The servants guarding the door heard the words and went in to report.

While Mr. Yan was waiting anxiously, knowing that the time for two cups of tea had passed, He Jitong, the eldest son of Uncle Ruyang, arrived belatedly.He Jitong saw that Mr. Yan looked worried, and immediately explained: "Father asked me to go to the study to talk. The servant is stupid. He didn't find me in my yard. When he asked someone to go to the study outside, he found me. It took a lot of time."

Master Yan's face softened when he heard this.

The matter was urgent, and I could immediately come to Uncle Ruyang's mansion to find out the situation. I thought that Uncle Ruyang was also discussing things with He Jitong.Thinking of this, Master Yan gave him a wink.

He Jitong immediately made a gesture of invitation, and only followed after the Elder Master passed by.

Such an attitude naturally made Mr. Yan happy.

The two soon arrived at the outer study.

Master Yan glanced at He Jitong.

Comrade He Ji said: "Father heard that father-in-law is here, and he also said that it is time to meet. After all, there are two families."

Having said that, Master Yan nodded.

He Jitong knocked on the door, and the door was opened from the inside.

After Master Yan entered first, He Jitong turned around and told the following servants: "My master and the two masters have something to discuss, you stand far away, and don't allow anyone to come in."

After thinking for a while, he said: "If Madam comes, say it's uncle's intention."

The servants should be.

Only then did He Jitong turn around and enter the room.

Uncle Ru Yang is over forty years old, although he is older than Mr. Yan, but he looks younger between the two.Compared with Master Yan's slightly protruding belly, the lean Uncle Ru Yang appears to be well maintained.

"Father." He Jitong called after entering the room.

Uncle Ru Yang nodded, and said to Mr. Yan who was beside him: "My relatives, please sit down, don't be so restrained."

After hearing this, Mr. Yan smiled unnaturally.As soon as Cai just entered the room, he was shocked by Uncle Ru Yang's natural aura.A pair of legs couldn't help but straighten, and the body was also straight.Now when he heard Uncle Ru Yang say this, he felt relieved and sat down on the chair next to him.

Master Yan Da raised his sleeves to wipe away the sweat that came out of nowhere, and said with a smile: "The old lady in the mansion is reluctant to part with the second girl. She attaches great importance to the second girl's marriage, and she can't wait to do everything personally."

Uncle Ru Yang nodded in agreement and said, "This is Ji Tong's blessing."

He Jitong's expression seemed to agree, but he couldn't help but think of the girl who was smiling softly in his imagination.He Jitong thought of the man's younger sister, who was only handsome, but someone said that the younger brother seemed to be a boy named Yan Jun, whose appearance was almost exactly the same as that man's.He Jitong sighed in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he had already heard Mr. Yan talk about the dowry list.

"Ji Tong."

He Ji ditto the first two steps.

Master Yan saw it and handed over the list in his hand.

With a calm face, He Jitong only scanned the list written on it at the moment he lowered his head, thinking in his heart that the so-called meticulously prepared dowry of the Yan family was nothing more than that.He Jitong would have been willing to be married to that person before, but now that he has changed, he couldn't help hiding a thorn in his heart.

He Jitong folded the list in half and put it away.

Uncle Ru Yang smiled and said: "You are too polite. Marrying a wife is not a dowry. We also like the second girl who was brought up by the old lady. I heard that we have followed Mama Xia who is next to Princess Danyang raised her for a while?"

Master Yan said with a smile: "That's true, that Xia's mother also went back today."

Uncle Ru Yang handed a color to He Jitong, and asked seemingly indifferently: "I heard that Prince Consort Wang Tang is still in the palace, and I don't know if Princess Danyang is going to the palace to celebrate the new year or is staying in the princess mansion."

Mr. Yan shook his head: "I don't know about that. It's just that early in the morning, I heard that the Princess Mansion sent someone to pick up Mama Xia. I also said that a servant is so valued by the princess." Mr. Yan thought about it again. Said: "I should have left after lunch, but when I came out, my wife nagged a few times."

Hearing this, Uncle Ru Yang took another look at He Jitong.

He Jitong nodded.

Only now did Uncle Ru Yang pull Mr. Yan to say a few words about unimportant things, and at the end he talked about the matters that Mr. Yan cared about.

"Southern Xinjiang was defeated, and the prince's situation is unclear. Today, I am furious. Although the marriage between our two houses was originally settled, it seems that it can't be done now." Uncle Ru Yang said apologetically: "Original Ready, but I have wronged your girl."

He Jitong also said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, even if it can't be done, the second girl will get the treatment that Shizi's wife deserves."

Mr. Yan was worried that the marriage could not be held as scheduled. Although it was impossible to do it, it was still possible.I have to say, in the mind of the elder, the second girl is really not very important.

Knowing that the marriage can continue as usual, I also understand that the prince is really missing.

Mr. Yan, who had settled his mind, left and returned home not long after.

He Jitong sent Master Yan away, and when he returned to the study, he took out the folded list and threw it on the table beside him.

Uncle Ru Yang glanced at it, and didn't pay much attention to it, he just said indifferently: "Someone will come from the palace later, and I will go into the palace at that time. You know what to do with the affairs of this mansion."

He Jitong is right.

Now there is news that many ministers have been summoned to the palace.

It seems that today is really urgent.

Although the Prince's affairs were handled by Ruyang Bofu.

It's just that before the correct news came, he was sent to martial law first, but it was Master Yan's arrival that made Uncle Ru Yang sure that the matter was over.
