Chapter 194 Retirement

As expected, Mrs. Hou accepted the call letter, but Jiang Jinyue went to the door of Yuanshanhou's mansion with the engagement letter without anyone notifying her.

Now the situation in the capital is a mess. Li Zongyu is not in the capital, so many pairs of eyes followed Li Zongyu to the border. On the capital side, the relationship between Jiang Jinyue and Mrs. Hou is not what it used to be. So many people are always paying attention.

Mrs. Hou greeted people at the door, Jiang Jinyue watched from a distance, Mrs. Hou was still the same, luxurious, graceful and elegant, but when she got closer, she could see the tiredness under her exquisite makeup.

Jiang Jinyue didn't intend to hide it, so she went up to hold Madam Hou's hand and asked her in a low voice.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Hou?"

The two stepped into the front yard together, and Mrs. Hou sighed.

After deliberating for a while, Jiang Jinyue said, "I've heard that it's the young master who fell in love with a girl from another family, so he doesn't agree with the girl you arranged?"

"Even you know?"

Madam Hou frowned, her expression flashed.

Jiang Jinyue nodded, took out the engagement letter from her sleeve, and handed it to Mrs. Hou.

Madam Hou was shocked, holding the engagement book in her hand, she looked at Jiang Jinyue in disbelief, and asked her.

"what do you mean?"

"Originally, we were all thinking about it. We thought that such a thing as retiring an engagement must be handled in front of everyone and signed openly, so that everyone can know."

Seeing Mrs. Hou's incomprehensible expression, Jiang Jinyue continued.

"Actually, we only need to sign it privately, and we can find an opportunity to clarify it in the future."

"You think so?"

Madam Hou looked Jiang Jinyue up and down, as if she had just met her.

Jiang Jinyue frowned, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she just felt that Mrs. Hou was no longer as affectionate as before, and she even spoke in a strange way.

"Then, what does Mrs. Hou think I should think?"

Jiang Jinyue smiled, but her eyes turned cold, and she withdrew her hand from Mrs. Hou's arm.

Madam Hou's heart skipped a beat, and she said hastily.

"No, I thought you just knew about it. I'm very grateful that you can think about the Hou Mansion and Zihang. Let's go in and talk about it."

After passing the front yard is the waterside pavilion. Mrs. Hou asked someone to prepare tea and snacks, and she asked Jiang Jinyue to sit down.

"You came today only for the engagement letter?"

The matter of the engagement letter can be big or small. The Marquis of Yuanshan belongs to Li Zongyu. As long as the two of them don't leave any knots, this matter can be resolved for the time being.

So Jiang Jinyue definitely didn't come for this matter.

Jiang Jinyue cast an annoyed look at Mrs. Hou, with a resentful tone.

"Is Mrs. Hou still angry? If she is still angry, let's visit Baptist another day."

"Look at your temper, what did I say? You know that I've been worrying about Zihang a lot lately, and now I'm annoyed when I see everyone, and I haven't seen anyone for half a month, so you've bumped into me. "

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and poured tea for Jiang Jinyue himself.

Jiang Jinyue didn't pretend to be big, so she also smiled and said to Mrs. Hou.

"Well, it turns out that I was still taken advantage of."

Both of them laughed, and Jiang Jinyue explained his intention.

"The Wu family handed over invitations to the Hou Mansion today. Madam Hou, does Madam Hou know why the Holy Majesty has frequently changed officials in Beijing recently?"

Both Dingguohou's Mansion and Yuanshanhou's Mansion are serious noble mansions. Generally speaking, as long as you don't make big mistakes, this kind of transfer will not fall on the Houfu. If Jiang Jinyue is a rich man People who are fighting against small cleverness don't care about these things at all.

Mrs. Hou didn't expect that Jiang Jinyue was not only intelligent, but also politically sensitive, so she sighed secretly, and then said.

"Your Majesty didn't tell me much about this matter."

Not much to say, but to understand a little bit, Jiang Jinyue leaned over and looked at Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou has been preoccupied all day long, and she is not very interested in talking. She leans close to Jiang Jinyue and whispers.

"The Holy Majesty's health may not be very good recently."

Jiang Jinyue suddenly looked at Mrs. Hou.

The health is not very good, and the news has already been revealed, so it should not be a minor illness.

But at this time, the eight kings, nine kings and ten kings were in Beijing, and Li Zongyu and the eleven kings were dispatched to fight the Turks. Is the old emperor going to prepare for his own funeral?

Li Zongyu had suspected before that the old emperor was neither optimistic about the eight princes nor liked him, he should be secretly protecting an inconspicuous prince, and this prince must be a person of noble blood and powerful mother clan.

Based on this calculation alone, the nine kings, ten kings and eleven kings, Li Zongyu, are all sons of court ladies or the old emperor's romantic debts. The four princes are not within the range of the old emperor, and the old emperor called out the eight kings so conspicuously. The position is ready to be beaten, it should be ruled out, and then go up.
Jiang Jinyue's heart skipped a beat, he hesitated, and looked at Mrs. Hou.

"Six kings, have you left Beijing?"

"Should have left the capital, why did you suddenly ask about the Six Kings?"

Although Mrs. Hou is smart, but she has been trapped in the house for many years, her eyesight is not long, and she is not very clear about these battles in the court. The Marquis of Yuanshan is a person who is not very good at communicating, so she still doesn't know, about the candidate in the old emperor's mind things.

Jiang Jinyue shook her head. She just wanted to make sure whether the dynasties would change within this year, and the Marquis of Dingguo would suffer disaster. She had no intention of disrupting Li Zongyu's arrangement. Since Marquis Yuan Shan didn't make it clear to Mrs. Hou, she would not Should not have said.

After a pause, Jiang Jinyue stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Hou.

She had to find a way to determine how sick the old emperor was, and to determine whether the six kings had left the capital. Besides, she originally thought of a one-year lenient period, but now it seems that she must prepare for the near future as soon as possible. the way.

Madam Hou frowned, and she nodded without being overly polite, ready to get up to see Jiang Jinyue off.

At this moment, a young servant hurried in and kowtowed when he saw Mrs. Hou.

"Ma'am! Young Master fainted!"

Madam Hou panicked all of a sudden, she was about to follow the boy in a hurry.

When Jiang Jinyue heard that something happened to Song Zihang, she quickly followed.

Song Zihang's courtyard is located on the east side of the Hou's Mansion. The layout of the courtyard is mostly clean and elegant, with a simple style, and various books can be seen everywhere, making the courtyard very quiet.

Song Zihang had already been carried to the couch, and the doctor hadn't come back at lunch time, and everyone in the yard was in a hurry, seeing Mrs. Hou coming, they all knelt down.

Madam Hou entered the inner room and called out a few times. Seeing that Song Zihang was unconscious, she looked at Jiang Jinyue as if asking for help.

Jiang Jinyue looked at Song Zihang's appearance, paused for a moment, let Mrs. Hou back away from her left and right, sat on the side of the couch, and took Song Zihang's pulse carefully.

After half a day's consultation, the pulse condition is normal, which may be due to not eating for a long time, and some dizziness caused by hypoglycemia.

But it's not enough to get dizzy?

After thinking about it, Jiang Jinyue reached out and patted Song Zihang's shoulder in front of Mrs. Hou, and said with a smile.

"Young master is being naughty, stop pretending."
