The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 119

Xie Yujiao raised her head, glanced at Zhou Tianhao secretly, Zhou Tianhao and her eyes met, suddenly lifted up his robe, knelt with her outside the curtain, kowtowed heavily inside and said: "Mr. Brother, thank the emperor for completeness."

The emperor's faint sigh came from the curtain, and finally he only said: "I really want to let you go, but... the heirs of the Dayong royal family are withered, and I only have the emperor's son under my knees. In the future, if I..." The emperor said Here, Empress Xu had already shed tears, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in his prime, so why not think wildly. Besides, Prince Rui didn't say that he must leave, Dayong hasn't had a happy event for a long time, why don't we just take advantage of it?" , what does His Majesty think?"

Hearing the words, the emperor agreed a bit, and just said: "Sister-in-law, I only have such an emperor brother, and he is the old son of the late emperor. None of our brothers did not love him when we were young, you What I said just now is correct, it is because I did not treat him well, now that I have given you a marriage, are you willing to marry him?"

Seeing the emperor say this, Xie Yujiao showed a bit of generosity, and knew that he must have given in. She was afraid that it would be difficult for her to make further progress, so she turned her head to look at Zhou Tianhao, and said in a low voice: "The daughter of the people is willing to marry Prince Rui. His Highness is his wife, as long as he is willing to let the civilian girl live in his mother's house."

Hearing this, the emperor also knew that this sister-in-law had the same stubborn temper as Prince Rui, so he waved his hands and said, "I'll let him live wherever he wants, if he finds it inconvenient to live in the palace, he can just If he wants to live in your Xie family, I will follow him, anyway, he is the current Prince Rui, so there is no escape from this."

Zhou Tianhao and the emperor usually have a deep relationship, but now he was a little moved when he heard this, and he just said: "Brother Huang, no matter where I live, I know that my surname is Zhou. Go north and drive the Tartars out of Dayong, and the ministers will definitely come back and be the emperor's pawns."

The emperor sighed, glanced outside the curtain and said, "You come in..."

Zhou Tianhao got up, and a court lady had already drawn up the curtains to let him in. He saw that the emperor's cheeks were much thinner than before, and he felt a little sad, so he knelt down in front of the emperor's dragon couch, and said, "Brother, take care of yourself." , the road to the north will still be long in the future, where we came from, we must go back.”

Hearing Zhou Tianhao's words, the emperor nodded heavily, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I like what you say. I hate those ministers the most. They bow their knees to the Tartars, boosting other people's aspirations and destroying their own prestige." , I get annoyed when I see it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced outside the curtain and said, "Go and call your concubine in, I haven't seen her yet."

When Zhou Tianhao heard the words, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and he only joked: "Brother Huang, please don't go back on your choice to be a concubine just because she looks good. She belongs to me alone."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but glared at Zhou Tianhao and said, "I'm starting to lose my shape again, can I still be short of beauties?"

Zhou Tianhao replied with a smile: "Of course there is no shortage of the emperor, but the dragon's body must be well maintained in order to enjoy the beauty's favor!"

When Empress Xu heard this, she felt a little upset. It turned out that after the southward migration, some local officials from Jinling really chose a group of beauties for the emperor, and they were from quite wealthy families in Jinling City.It is said that this move was originally to be close to the people. When the imperial court moved to the south, all the rich and noble families in Jinling City gave a lot of money to welcome them. Now that they have taken their money, it is like receiving a dowry. This girl sent them all over. , It is absolutely impossible to go back.

The emperor didn't have much resentment towards this matter. Firstly, he didn't have many beauties in the harem; secondly, the newcomers to the imperial court really should have a good relationship with the local officials; thirdly, there are many people living in this palace .

But the emperor has never been the one who enjoys beauties all by himself, so when Zhou Tianhao mentioned this, he also thought of the beauty sent by Yin Tianfu, and was about to ask whether he would give Zhou Tianhao one, but remembered that his princess was still outside Kneeling, but finally did not speak.

Zhou Tianhao went out of the curtain himself, helped Xie Yujiao up, and pulled her inside. This was the first time Xie Yujiao had seen the emperor, but she felt that although he had a bit of the majesty of the emperor, he was generally considered kind and kind, so he mentioned He was about to kneel down while wearing a skirt, but the emperor just waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll give you a seat."

When the emperor gave an order, the eunuchs sent over some pier, Xie Yujiao didn't dare to sit like usual at home, so she carefully sat down next to each other on the pier.

The emperor looked Xie Yujiao up and down, and there was a bit of admiration in his eyes. He just nodded and said, "Your brother's vision is really good, and it compares to the ladies in our capital. It is said that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are outstanding. It is really good." ah."

Xie Yujiao had no choice but to pretend to thank you shyly, and then listened to the emperor continue: "I heard that your father is a good man in Jiangning. After moving south, I also heard about it."

Xie Yujiao had always admired her father, who had never been masked. When the emperor mentioned it, she said, "The emperor praised you absurdly. Although my father does good deeds, he never pretends to be a good person. He just does good deeds." What I can do is a pity..." When Xie Yujiao thought of her father's untimely death, she felt a little more uncomfortable.

Zhou Tianhao said from the side: "After the Qingming Festival this year, the Xie family will have a filial piety, and then please ask the emperor to let Qin Tianjian choose an auspicious day to come out."

Xie Yujiao was a little sad at first, but Zhou Tianhao suddenly mentioned the auspicious day of the auspicious day, and couldn't help but give him a sideways glance, thinking: For this kind of thing, it is enough for my mother to look through the old calendar at home. What kind of Qin Tianjian do you want... You are so overqualified, do those officials have any objections?

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, he just nodded vigorously and said: "Alright, empress, please remember to order that the auspicious days after Qingming should be as close as possible!"

Xie Yujiao's cheeks were slightly red, and the sadness just now disappeared without a trace.

Empress Xu smiled and said: "April is after Qingming, and there are a few days in April that are very good, my concubine will send someone to ask about it tomorrow."

The emperor just nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, you should start making preparations now. How to welcome the bride and where the bridal chamber will be set up at that time, you have to make preparations."

Seeing that the emperor suddenly became interested, Empress Xu simply frowned and thought about it with him, and then said: "My lord is old now, if he is still in the capital, he must be setting up a bridal chamber in Prince Rui's mansion. The team to welcome the relatives also went to Prince Rui's Mansion, but now that the mansion has not been built, it is very difficult."

The emperor said: "Why not welcome the palace?"

Empress Xu was a little unhappy because it was unreasonable.When she married the emperor, the emperor was still the prince, and she herself entered the palace according to the regulations of the princess.According to the rules of Emperor Yongzu, only the emperor or the crown prince can enter the palace through the Zhengyang Gate, which represents the most noble status of that woman.She has no objection to Xie Yujiao marrying Prince Rui, but if she welcomes him into the palace, she will have some pimples in her heart after all.

Xie Yujiao didn't know these rules and regulations, but it was troublesome to listen to them.However, Zhou Tianhao understood the reason behind this, so he said, "Brother Huang has allowed my younger brother to buy a house outside, and let it be the palace for the time being."

Seeing Zhou Tianhao's refusal, the emperor thought about it for a while, and also understood the meaning. He glanced at Empress Xu's slightly embarrassed face, showing a bit of depression.A woman who is the mother of the world, but sometimes her mind is not magnanimous enough.

"Forget it, I have recently ordered the people in the inner palace to find a few houses around Jinling for rewards. If there are any good ones, I will keep one for you."

Xie Yujiao originally wanted to say that Xie's family did not lack a mansion, and it would be fine to come out to welcome their relatives if they could, but thinking that he was the emperor, there was no chance for him to give a mansion to his younger brother. Speak again.

Several people chatted for a while, and when the imperial physician came to ask for a pulse, Zhou Tianhao took Xie Yujiao and left first.Empress Xu personally sent them out, but when she came in, she saw the emperor's cold face, Empress Xu felt a little flustered, and only waited for the imperial physicians to leave before the emperor said: "I want to let Prince Rui get married in the palace, why are you No?"

Empress Xu's brows flickered slightly, and she felt more and more aggrieved, but she didn't dare to admit it, she just said: "I don't have it... I just want to follow the rules of the ancestors."

"Ancestor's rule of law? Ancestor's rule of law also said that moving the capital will surely destroy the country! I know exactly what you think."

The emperor cared so much for Zhou Tianhao these years, apart from the fact that he voluntarily gave up the throne when he ascended the throne, it was indeed because of brotherhood.But how could Empress Xu have any real feelings for Zhou Tianhao, it was just because of that incident, so once her own interests were involved, she would have complaints in her heart.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Xu glanced at the emperor eagerly, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything more, so the emperor turned sideways and said: "The queen has been working hard for the past few days, and she should go back to the palace to rest. Pass on my will, tonight I invite He noble to serve you."

When Empress Xu heard about He Guiren, she was so angry that she was about to die. He Guiren was one of the dozen or so beauties sent in by Yin Tianfu Yin. It was said that she was the daughter of the richest man in Jinling, the He family. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. But the pearls that came out were round and jade-like, and the country was beautiful and heavenly fragrance. On the first day she entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor. No one else took a look at her, but she was left alone to serve the bed, and she was sealed as a nobleman that night.

Now that the emperor specifically pointed out that she should come to serve the sick, this is obviously to set his anger on him!
Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao came out of the palace, the sky was already gloomy.The two came out of it hand in hand all the way, but neither of them opened their mouths to speak.When he got to the entrance of the back corner of the palace, Zhou Tianhao raised his head, only to see an old woman about 50 or [-] years old standing at the entrance of the passage door, with a small bundle in her hand, talking to Yun Song.

When Zhou Tianhao saw that person, he just said, "Mother Liu, why are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Tianhao coming out of it with the pretty girl she had seen last time with her, Mother Liu knew that they must have persuaded the emperor this time, so she greeted him with a smile: "Your Highness wants to Let’s go, let’s take the old slave with us.”

Grandma Liu followed the old imperial concubine into the palace when she was young, and served in the palace all her life. She has no children. She can go to Anyuan to be raised at this age, but she is worried about Zhou Tianhao. Now she looks at Zhou Tianhao. Those who were determined to marry this girl simply packed up their bags and came out together.

"Liu Nanny, the emperor's sister-in-law treats others generously. If you stay in the palace, she will definitely treat you well." Zhou Tianhao can bend and stretch himself, but it is not easy for Liu Nanny to follow Xie's family to be a slave.She was already a respectable old woman in the palace, so she didn't have to follow her to be a servant.

Seeing the way Nanny Liu looked at Zhou Tianhao, Xie Yujiao knew that she must have brought him up since he was a child, otherwise why would there be such reluctance in her eyes?This is clearly the posture that he will follow wherever he goes.Xie Yujiao just thought about it, and said, "You can let Mama Liu go with you. Our family won't lose a bite of food for her. How about I send a little maid to serve her?"

Seeing Xie Yujiao say this, Zhou Tianhao had nothing to say for a while. He didn't want to let Madam Liu go because he was afraid that she would not get used to it. After all, in the palace, there were so many little maids at her beck and call. It would be different after going to Xie's house. She is no longer a respected old lady in the palace.

"Miss Xie, don't bother. Although the old slave is a little old, he can still do some things. Except for the needlework, his eyesight is not good now, he can take care of himself, but don't worry about His Highness. He has grown up since he was a child. Yes, except for going to the battlefield, I don’t have many days away from me, and I can’t sleep without him.”

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao respected Nanny Liu even more, so she stepped forward, took the package in her hand, and said, "That's great, with you here, I'm not afraid of him running away. From now on, I will let you help me watch him every day!"

When Mother Liu heard the words, she just smiled and said, "I can't stand him anymore. If you guys give birth to a young son, then I can help take care of my old bones."

Xie Yujiao's cheeks turned red when she heard her say this. In ancient times, older women really had the same brain circuit, and they would never leave the word "birthing a baby" in three or two sentences.

Zhou Tianhao laughed happily when he heard that, he just stretched out his hand and hugged Xie Yujiao in his arms, and said to Mammy Liu with a smile: "Mammy is right, we will definitely work harder when the time comes."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao became more and more anxious. She just kept staring at Zhou Tianhao, and was carried into the carriage by him half-pushed.

Looking at the posture of the two of them, Mammy Liu was really indescribably tender, and thinking of the old concubine who had passed away, she felt comforted in her heart.

Early the next morning, the Xie family, who had lived in another courtyard in the city for more than half a month, finally returned home.When I came here, I still had my aunt and Bao Zhen Bao Zhu, but when I went back, these three people were missing.However, Mrs. Xu and the old aunt were very happy in their hearts, and finally a big event came to an end.

When the aunt returned home yesterday, she nodded shyly, saying that the two of them had already passed the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou, and that Xu Yuxing treated her very modestly and politely, and was also very kind to the two children.Mrs. Xu and the old aunt were very happy when they heard this, and they just told the aunt to take good care of their bodies, and to have another one as soon as possible while they are young. It is the best for their son.

Xie Yujiao slept a little late yesterday, and the carriage was shaking violently, so she dozed off with Xie Chaozong. Xu turned her head and glanced at the eldest daughter who was sleeping on her shoulder, and only stretched out her hand to touch her bangs. , and remembering that there is such a good son-in-law as Zhou Tianhao, the smile on his face is even bigger.

The carriage swayed on the road for more than an hour, and when it came to the entrance of the village, I saw a carriage approaching at a high speed.The man saw Xie's motorcade and stopped hastily. Xie Yujiao rolled up the curtain and looked outside, and saw Tao Laixi jumped out of the carriage.

Xie Yujiao asked through the curtain, "What is Steward Tao doing in such a hurry?"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao had returned, Tao Laixi was overjoyed, but he said with a bit of gloom on his face, "Young lady is back, and this old slave is going to Qinglong Mountain. Uneasy, the old slave's old mother is ill, I haven't visited in person these few days, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss again."

It’s no wonder that the local people don’t like those refugees. Xie Yujiao has lived here for two years, and she really feels the simplicity of the local people. Except for a few people like the old man, most of them are honest farmers. As long as they can eat enough , Wearing warm clothes will definitely not be a challenge.But those refugees from the north are different from the locals. They lost their homes and lived like desperadoes. Sometimes they do things that are really scary.

Now that there are thousands of those people, how can the local villagers not be afraid?

"If that's the case, then I'll go and take a look with you?" Although Xie Yujiao was also a little worried, thinking that the Xie family raised those people for a whole winter, they wouldn't be able to attack her. The matter has to be negotiated with Kang Guangshou slowly, and we can't just live on relief all the time. No matter how rich the Xie family is, it will be dragged down.

"The girl is going, and the old slave doesn't stop her. It's just that those people are used to being rough and have no manners. I'm afraid the girl will be frightened."

"I'm not going to the refugee pile either. You just find their leader. I'll know why they are making trouble first, so I can have a better solution for the next step."

Seeing that Xie Yujiao couldn't be persuaded by Tao Laixi, he had no choice but to agree. While the two were talking, Zhou Tianhao jumped off the carriage behind and said, "I'll go with you. You're a girl. What are you doing with men?" ?”

Xie Yujiao just glared at Zhou Tianhao, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "If you want to go, you can go, what reason are you looking for, who told you that the refugees are all men? If they are all men, it would be better if you go, mobilize them All go to the front to fight, that will save them from eating Xie's food."

Seeing Xie Yujiao choking on him, Zhou Tianhao also laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be eating rice from the imperial court if you went to war? You can't bear to spend money on your own, so you came here to make trouble with our family?"

Xie Yujiao thought about it, and it really made sense, so she burst out laughing, stretched out her hand, and helped Zhou Tianhao jump off the carriageway: "You guessed all of this? It's really amazing!"

The two greeted Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu felt relieved because Zhou Tianhao was with her, so they let them go.

Sitting in the carriage, Xie Yujiao opened the curtain casually, glanced at the passing scenery outside, and sighed a little: "If I hadn't heard... heard that you were dead... and thought that those refugees were you desperately protecting I will not take in those who have passed through!"

After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she only raised her head to look at Zhou Tianhao, remembering how sad she was when she heard the news of his death in the past few days, as if she had loved him deeply for a long time.After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she was only a little angry, she clenched her fists and wanted to hit Zhou Tianhao, but Zhou Tianhao grabbed both hands and reported them to her lap.

"In this way, those refugees still have to thank me?" Zhou Tianhao said, rubbing Xie Yujiao's cheek lightly.

Xie Yujiao twisted her neck, avoiding Zhou Tianhao's hot breath of desire, put her hands on his chest, and whispered: "See if you dare lie to me in the future, if you lie to me, I will... I will reward you again." A slap."

Speaking of the slap last time, Xie Yujiao still blamed herself a little at this time, she really lost her head at the time, but thinking about it now, it really shouldn't be.Fortunately, when Xu Yuxing went back to the house with his aunt, he still talked about this matter. He only said that the kid surnamed Ma didn't know what happened, and he broke two ribs, thigh and hip bones, and he was paralyzed right away. lying on the bed.

Xie Yujiao couldn't help holding back her laughter when she heard this, she knew it must be Zhou Tianhao's masterpiece.

"Does it still hurt?" Xie Yujiao asked in a low voice, rubbing Zhou Tianhao's cheek with a handkerchief.

"It doesn't hurt a long time ago, why is it so delicate? The holes in the chest have grown solid."

Xie Yujiao pursed her lips when she heard the words, and said, "You don't feel hurt anymore, but I still feel sorry for you. From now on... I will definitely change my temper from now on, okay?"

"I don't blame you, Imperial Physician Zhou said that you are sick and your spleen and stomach are weak, so your temper is out of balance. I can understand it. If you lose your temper again next time, I will only think that Imperial Physician Zhou is not good at medicine." Zhou Tianhao only smiled. .

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao couldn't help being happy, so she couldn't help but leaned against Zhou Tianhao's arms again, raised her head, kissed him back and forth on the chin, and said with a smile: " Bastard, why are you so nice?"

It was rare for Zhou Tianhao to see Xie Yujiao's initiative, so he became emotional for a moment, and began to move his fingers recklessly, touching Xie Yujiao's inner thigh for a while.Xie Yujiao only felt that something was wrong, she quickly pushed his hand away and said, "No...no...you've played tricks again."

Zhou Tianhao refused to let her go at this moment, he just lowered his head and bit her lips and said, "Don't worry, the road is long, I remember."

"Yun... Yun Song will hear..."

"Don't worry, his ears don't work..."

"Um……"

Yun Song, whose ears are not working well, is thinking depressedly at this moment, when did his ears not work?
