Second-hand lady

Chapter 109

Originally, he was going to break camp and return to the capital the next day, but because of the assassination of the eldest prince, he postponed for an hour and a half.At this time, the atmosphere in the entire camp seemed tense, and the guards were heavily guarded. The number of patrolling soldiers had tripled, so that those aristocratic sons who liked to hang out did not dare to leave their tents at will, and stayed obediently in their tents.

When Wen Yanping was having breakfast with Wen Liang, Liu Liangfu, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, came over and told her that the emperor had summoned her to question her.

"Did Eunuch Liu eat breakfast?" Wen Yanping asked, still biting a crab roe bun.

Eunuch Liu often sent the fourth prince to Wen's residence, and often met with several children of Wen's residence, and became familiar with those who came and went.Seeing that she hadn't finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, she didn't rush her, and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Wen for your concern, the miscellaneous family has already eaten."

When the emperor summoned him, Wen Yanping didn't dare to delay, he ate the half-bitten buns whole, drank half a cup of honey water, took the handkerchief handed over by Xiao Luzi to wipe his mouth, and said to Wen Liang: "Father, I'm going .”

Wen Liang put down his chopsticks, and said: "When you see the emperor, don't be indifferent, and answer obediently, do you understand?"

Hearing his hidden words, Wen Yanping replied very obediently: "Understood, I will never embarrass you."

Following Liu Liangfu to the imperial tent, Wen Yanping squeezed his fingers nervously. After receiving the publicity inside, Fang calmly walked into the imperial tent, saluted the person sitting above him in an orderly manner, and stood up after getting permission. Get up and wait in front of the case with solemn hands, not daring to take a long look.

This cautious appearance made Emperor Chongde laugh, and his deep voice softened a bit, and he said, "Don't be nervous, it's fine as usual when you are in front of your father." Wen Zixiu, who was also a problem young man, was so angry that he wanted to spank her. He was very young, so it was not like her to be so reserved.

Wen Yanping said honestly: "Going back to the emperor, the grassroots dare not, my father will be angry when he finds out, and then he will punish the grassroots for writing big characters, and the grassroots will have no time to do what they like."

Liu Liangfu on the side has some dark lines, are you too honest?

"Oh, what do you usually like to do?"

Wen Yanping glanced at him secretly, and felt that the emperor and King Su looked quite alike. She usually went to King Su's mansion to play. Although she often met King Su, she felt very fond of King Su for some reason. I also feel that the emperor is more amiable and approachable.But she knew that the mind of an emperor was far from being as simple as it appeared, so when she faced the emperor, she would usually be very honest and would not dare to make small moves.

Wen Yanping immediately said: "I like martial arts, and I often learn martial arts with my master when I have time. But my father doesn't like me like this, and arranges a lot of homework for me." Speaking of this, Wen Yanping glanced at the emperor very sadly. Suspected that all the foster nuns invited from the palace were given by the emperor, otherwise they wouldn't be so powerful.

The emperor naturally knew what homework she was talking about, so he couldn't help smiling.

Liu Liangfu, who had been worrying all the time, was relieved when he saw the emperor's amiable face. It seems that after Wen Zixiu, the children of the Wen family also won the holy will. As long as they don't make any big mistakes that punished the nine clans, I believe they will have a bright future in the future. Difference.

After asking some more ordinary things, Emperor Chongde said, "Wen Yanping, yesterday you saved my prince and made great contributions. How do you want me to reward you?"

Wen Yanping immediately knelt down and said: "It is the duty of the grassroots to save the First Prince, and I dare not claim credit for it." And she didn't save the First Prince, it was just a matter of convenience.On the surface, you speak righteously, but in your heart you slander, as long as your eldest prince doesn't be so careful to trouble our family, thank God.

Emperor Chongde smiled, and said: "You have meritorious service, so you have to be rewarded. How about this, I will appoint you as Yuqian Lanling's bodyguard, and you will start working today, is it possible?"

Wen Yanping was a little dazed, looking at the emperor stupidly, did she change from a commoner to a Beijing official?

But immediately Wen Yanping shook her head like a rattle. If she dared to agree, Lord Wen would punish her to embroider peonies, and she would never be able to go out for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Wen Yanping could only endure the pain in his heart and refuse such a good thing, his heart was bleeding.

Emperor Chongde looked at her for a long time, and after she hung her head stiffly, he withdrew his order and rewarded her with gold and silver instead.For things like gold and silver, Wen Yanping loved them very much, and happily accepted them, thanking her again and again, even happier than when she was given an official position before.

After rewarding the things, the emperor began to ask about yesterday's events. Wen Yanping didn't dare to think too carefully, and honestly told all the things he had seen and heard on the road and how he saved the eldest prince.

After listening, Emperor Chongde fell into deep thought.

After Wen Yanping left the imperial tent, Fang found that the clothes on his back were wet, and he became more and more certain in his heart that he would never let his little sister Guigui marry the fourth prince.The emperor is such a terrifying person, and her family Xiao Guigui has such a sincere temperament, no matter who is an opponent, she will definitely be gnawed to nothing.

When he returned to the tent, Wen Liang had already gone out, and the guards were unloading the tent.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Wen Yanping ran to Xiang's house to see how Xiang Qingchun's injury was.Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached Xiang Qingchun's tent, he heard an arrogant voice coming from inside.

"...Xiang Qingchun, I don't even think about the virtues of your father. Like a father like a son, you are nothing but a coward. Tsk, why don't you just break this leg? It's a sin to keep it. Don't think Once you climb up to the First Prince, you will have a backer, you are just a dog next to the First Prince—oh, who is it?"

The man turned around suddenly, his fire-breathing eyes shot around, except for the servants and guards he had brought, there was an ordinary-looking young man in front of the door, who was throwing two stones up and down, looking at He is so arrogant.

"Wen Yanping!"

Wen Yanping also saw clearly that this foul-mouthed person looked to be the same age as Xiang Qingchun, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Xiang Qingchun's, but compared to Xiang Qingchun's bewitching beauty, this person had tall bones and handsome features.Wen Yanping didn't have much impression of him, but vaguely remembered that he was from the Xiang family, he seemed to be a cousin of Xiang Qingchun's second uncle's family, named Xiang Qingming.

"You were the one who beat you. You were full of dirty words. You have learned all the ways of a saint! Has anyone ever taught you how to be a human being?" Wen Yanping said arrogantly. A guard of the Xiang family was kicked down.

Xiang Qingming was furious, he didn't expect this kid to show up suddenly.He knew about Wen Yanping, Grand Master Wen's adoptive son, who had been in the limelight these days and completely overwhelmed them disciples from aristocratic families. They had long been angry with this guy who didn't know how to restrain himself. He wanted to trouble her a few times, but it was a pity that they would never be able to beat her in terms of force, and if they played tricks, they would suffer disaster themselves, so the enmity was settled like this.And one of the reasons why Xiang Qingming hates her more than ordinary people is because she is Xiang Qingchun's younger brother, which proves that they are together.

Wen Yanping crushed the stone in his hand into small pieces, and shot it violently, all the people in the tent suffered.Even though the stones were just small crumbs, they were painful when hit on the body, and the pain was so painful that he clutched the place where he was hit and cried out ouch.

"Don't get out, do you want me to smash a hole in you?" Wen Yanping kicked another person away, extremely arrogant.

And the boy who was kicked away just jumped on Xiang Qingming, pressing Xiang Qingming under him.

"Hey, well, in broad daylight, you guys dare to do such meager things, it's really indecent, I'm going to tell the First Prince..." As he said that, he turned around and went to the First Prince to settle accounts.

"Shut up!" Xiang Qingming was furious, pushed the boy on him away, jumped up, pointed at Wen Yanping with trembling fingers, and glared at Xiang Qingchun who was sitting calmly on the chair, hurriedly He left with his servant and guards.It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and this revenge is written down.

Wen Yanping made a face at Xiang Qingming's back, then jumped in front of Xiang Qingchun, and said, "Fox, people have scolded you for face, why don't you kill him?"

Xiang Qingchun said with a righteous face: "Am I the kind of narrow-minded person? He is my cousin after all, and I, as an older brother, always let him go."

"Come on, others don't know, I don't know that you have a bad stomach?" Wen Yanping waved his hand, she still doesn't know, the more calm and clear the vixen's face, the more ruthless the vicious person is behind the back, within a few days On this day, that Qingming must suffer.The vixen is a stingy to paranoid man.

Wen Yanping sat on the seat next to Xiang Qingchun, took a fruit and gnawed it up, and said, "I have always thought that having brothers and sisters is a very happy thing, but the ones in your family... I don't agree." Fortunately, my three younger brothers and sisters are all lovely and good children.

Xiang Qingchun said flatly: "No one can choose their origin, but they can choose the path they want to take."

Wen Yanping savored it carefully, and suddenly felt that Xiang Qingchun was actually quite open-minded. After seeing what happened just now, he suddenly felt that Xiang Qingchun was not easy. Everyone gets a bad smell.If it wasn't for Xiang Qingchun being his adoptive father's student, Wen Yanping would really be too lazy to talk to him.

"By the way, I'm leaving camp to return to Beijing later. Your legs are inconvenient. Do you want me to carry you back?" Wen Yanping, who decided to treat him better, asked.

"Get out!" Xiang Qingchun almost glared at her with blood on his face, why is this ugly boy always capable of making him angry?

Seeing his angry face, Wen Yanping was worried that something was wrong with his body, so he pulled his wrist to feel his pulse, and said at the same time: "My master is Ji Taiji, and his medical skills are very good. Look." Pressing the pulse, he said again: "Sure enough, the anger is too strong, go back and find the doctor to prescribe some medicine for clearing away heat and dispersing fire, and be careful to hold back the illness. Man, I understand!"

You know the shit!

Xiang Qingchun cursed inwardly, with an uneasy expression on his face, he withdrew his hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm not like you who have gnawed on barbecue every day like you."

After nibbling a few fruits, Wen Yanping patted his buttocks and left, leaving Xiang Qingchun staring at the empty tent door uncertainly, his slender fingers trembling, and then pressing on the wrist of his right hand, as if there was a With the temperature of the man's fingertips lingering, he suddenly felt a burning pain on his skin.

It was getting darker, and the large army returned to the capital.

Due to his leg injury, Xiang Qingchun went back in a carriage this time. Hearing Wen Yanping, the little fat man, Zhou Zhengxu and others talking and laughing outside along the way, he felt a little bit disappointed.

After finally entering the city gate, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Wei Chaohui and others drove their horses to the front of the carriage, and said to Xiang Qingchun inside: "Junior Brother Xiang, your legs and feet are inconvenient now, we will take you home."

Xiang Qingchun glanced at Wen Yanping who was sitting on the horse, and nodded silently.

Soon, someone arranged the sedan chair, Wei Chaozhen, Zhou Zhengxu and others helped Xiang Qingchun onto the sedan chair, and then they rode along with them, escorting him all the way back to Xiang's house.The Xiang family behind saw it, their eyes flickered, and they didn't say anything.

After several people escorted Xiang Qingchun back to Xiang's house, they all bid farewell and left.

Xiang Qingchun's face was sinking like water, watching his mother sitting in front of her and covering her face with a handkerchief, weeping and weeping, and the aunts whispering sweetly to each other, her thoughts could not help turning to the forest yesterday evening, where The boy's bright smiling face when he descended from the sky, and his snappy swing of the sword, although they were often irritating, did not have the delicate, sensitive nerves and caressing of these women.

Fortunately, Xiang Qingchun's personal servant, Zhaoguang, came in with the fried medicine very quickly, and stopped the voices of these women.

Xiang Qingchun looked at the expressions of those aunts coldly, and said politely: "Thank you a few aunts for your concern for Qingchun, but it's late at night, and I ask the aunts to go back to rest. If the aunts are exhausted, my father will scold Qingchun."

Xiang Qingchun's mother stopped crying at this moment, and glared at these aunts: "What are you doing here, why don't you go down?"

The mistress spoke, and although the aunts were reluctant, they still had to obediently leave. They just hinted to the confidantes in the yard to pay attention, and report to them immediately if there is any bad situation, so that they can have fun.

After everyone went down, Xiang Qingchun took the medicine bowl and drank the medicine, and Xiang's mother started crying again, taking the crying sound as a condiment, Xiang Qingchun drank the medicine without changing his expression, not even knowing whether it was bitter or not. no feelings.

The flirtatious and incompetent father, the weak and crying mother, the aunts with different thoughts, and the concubine brothers and sisters who have their own schemes, this is his current home.

"Mother, I want to rest. You should go back and rest too. Don't be exhausted because of your son." Xiang Qingchun said with concern.

Mother Xiang's concern for her son was very helpful, and she pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, telling him to rest, then remembered something, and said hesitantly: "Chun'er, the bright red and emerald willows in your room are getting old. Do you want to..." Accept them.

Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Qingchun said directly: "Mother, you can decide." Seeing the joy on his mother's face, he obviously misunderstood him, and added: "As long as you don't stay with me, that's fine." , whatever they want to go home or marry a servant in the mansion."

Mother Xiang's face was a little stiff, and she thought that what they would like most is to serve you.But this son has always been strong, since he said so, it is not good for Xiang's mother to interfere with his decision, after telling him to rest well, she left with her maid.

After everyone left, Xiang Qingchun leaned against the bedpost and let out a sigh, the world was finally clean.After a while, he asked someone to come in to wait for him to change his clothes, and found that it was a strange and beautiful maid who came in, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Who are you, the light?"

The girl was blessed with good fortune, lowered her head and said: "Master, the maidservant is called Ying He, and it was my wife who sent me to take care of the young master instead of Sister Hongyan Cuiliu. She went to rush for the young master's bath water and hasn't come back yet."

Xiang Qingchun looked at her and said, "Raise your head."

Yinghe raised her face, it was a very beautiful face, with willow-leaf eyebrows and almond eyes, revealing a pityful weakness.Xiang Qingchun lowered his eyes, but he understood why his mother sent Yinghe to him. Instead of taking advantage of his father, it would be better to give it to his son to enjoy. It is estimated that his amorous father would be embarrassed to rob his son's room.

"Don't come to my room if you have nothing to do."

Hearing this extremely indifferent voice, Ying He's heart trembled, and she answered yes in a low voice.
