Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 297 Chapter 330~330 Visit
When Jiang Chenfeng stumbled over pushing Jiang Xuewen's wheelchair, he saw the servants carrying the ashes in.Looking at Jiang Wu, Huo Shijiu, and Cao Yu all wearing sackcloth and filial piety, the servants also wear filial piety belts around their waists, and there are even maidservants wearing white silk flowers on their heads who are working in twos and threes, sobbing and crying .

Jiang Chenfeng felt that his hands and legs were weak. If he hadn't held on to the armrest of the wheelchair, he would have been afraid that he would fall, so he murmured, "Father, look at this, what's wrong!"

Jiang Xuewen's heart was shocked, his eyes turned black, his lips trembled and said: "Wu'er, this is...you are back, where are your mother and your sisters? Where are your in-laws?"

"Father." Jiang Wu approached slowly, although she didn't shed tears, but the red and swollen eyes she just cried in the palace could not be faked.

Jiang Xuewen looked at the pitch-black jars containing ashes, pointed there with trembling fingers, and asked, "What happened?!"

Jiang Wu lifted her skirt, knelt down in front of Jiang Xuewen slowly, grabbed his hand with both hands and shook her head: "We are in Yi County, something happened..."

Jiang Wu repeated what he had just told the emperor in the palace, but he was holding Jiang Xuewen's hands to remind him.

Jiang Xuewen knew that there must be something hidden in the matter. Jiang Wu was afraid that he would do it for others to see, and he calmed down a little, but on the surface he brought his sadness to the extreme. As soon as Jiang Wu finished speaking, he was excited to get up, but Because of the inconvenient legs and feet, he collapsed, and if Jiang Wu and Cao Yu didn't help each other, he would lie on the ground.When he looked up, Jiang Xuewen was already in tears.

"Shuhui, I said that maybe we can't see each other again in this life. I didn't mean you, but because I have such a temper. I will inevitably bring disasters one day. I never thought that I would make such a prophecy, and it would be you who took the first step...Shuhui! I I'm sorry!"

"Mother! Eldest sister, fourth younger sister!!" Without knowing it, Jiang Chenfeng knelt beside Jiang Xuewen, crying heartbroken.

"The one who killed a thousand swords! Why did such a good father-in-law go!!"

"Six catties is still so small! How can someone be so cruel!"

"Call me a white-haired person to send a black-haired person..."

……

The cries of Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng made the servants feel sour.Both Huo Dashuan and Mrs. Zhao are kind people, they never criticize anyone, and they treat others with a Buddha-hearted heart. Huo Dashuan's only hobby is farming, and he also likes to randomly grab cheap labor to help pick manure and fertilize.But that's not too much for a master.

Unexpectedly, such a cheerful and healthy old man was killed like this!

When I think of the strong old man squatting on the ground smoking a pipe in the backyard, I can't see the lively third lady, I can't see the second master and the second wife going out for a walk every day with the little eldest lady in their arms... servants Everyone was sad, and for a moment, the entire Hou Mansion was filled with grief.

Jiang Wu was worried that Jiang Chenfeng would break his body from crying, but she pulled him up in a moment, and together with Huo Shijiu, helped Jiang Xuewen to sit back in the wheelchair, and asked Cao Yu to take care of it for the time being, and they went to the inner hall together.

After the screen retreated, Jiang Xuewen changed his sadness just now, and asked anxiously: "Sister Wu, what's going on?"

Jiang Chenfeng, who was crying with a snotty nose, saw Jiang Xuewen suddenly asking, and asked in surprise, "Why, what?"

Huo Shijiu twisted the veil with his own hands and handed it to Jiang Chenfeng, saying: "Second Uncle has been wronged, today is a last resort. Wu'er and the others were indeed ambushed in Yi County, but fortunately they had friends to help, and the whole family was safe. Wu'er didn't come back in time because I was afraid that people would continue to hunt them down. When I went to find them, I discussed with them and finally decided to suspend my family's death to avoid future troubles."

"Fake death?" Jiang Chenfeng blinked in disbelief.

"Yes, suspended animation. Just now when I made a statement, I have already signaled to my father, but it is inconvenient to tell my second brother. At any rate, my second brother is strong and strong. It's okay to cry a few times." Jiang Wu laughed and said: "Some people say When things are over in the future, I want to ask you if you want to marry her."

"You..." It's thanks to Jiang Chenfeng's heart and strength that he can change so quickly from grief to joy, otherwise he would really faint right now.Hearing what Jiang Wu said about getting married, he already guessed who it was, his face became hot, and he said, "Third sister, how can there be someone like you? Problem."

Jiang Wu paid respects to Jiang Chenfeng a few more times, and only then did he burst into laughter.

When they were talking, Jiang Xuewen was thoughtful, and then asked Huo Shijiu: "Aying, who sent the assassin, do you have a clue?"

Sure enough, a person who has been immersed in the court for many years and is proficient in political affairs, he immediately asks for ideas.

Huo Shijiu said: "This matter...Father-in-law doesn't need to ask any more questions. Anyway, I know it well."

"Isn't it easy to answer?" Jiang Xuewen was thoughtful: "Isn't it British?"

Huo Shijiu really admired Jiang Xuewen's intelligence at this moment, and he could already hear the clues in one sentence, and said calmly: "Maybe he has a share."

"perhaps……"

Jiang Xuewen pondered, and the good-natured Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu arranged for their family to travel out of Beijing.And now it happened suddenly.

Previously, he only thought that Huo Shijiu sent them away because he was afraid that the fight with the British prince would become more intense in the future, and his family would be hurt. Looking at it now, why did he seem to have other secrets?
Could it be the emperor?
Jiang Xuewen's brows were tightly frowned, and a word Sichuan was squeezed out between his brows.He is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, but he also knows that those who play with the government will have blood on their fingers.It is also a helpless move to get rid of some people when necessary.But he couldn't think of the reason why the little emperor wanted to kill Huo Shijiu's family.Didn't Huo Jiu endure the humiliation for the sake of the little emperor?Isn't the relationship between the Huo family and the little emperor not close enough?

Even he, an outsider, was moved after learning what Huo Shijiu had done, let alone the little emperor who had fought side by side with Huo Shijiu to this day?Huo Shijiu is wholeheartedly for him!
Jiang Wu pushed the wheelchair, and Jiang Xuewen, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses.

"Father, don't think about it. You just need to know that everyone in the family is fine. But I saw that father really has a deep affection for mother. Later, I must tell mother about the appearance when you rushed here just now. .”

Jiang Xuewen blushed, and reprimanded sullenly: "Stinky girl, your husband is not good at controlling you, so let you be so presumptuous."

Jiang Wu smiled triumphantly: "If one day I stop being presumptuous, he is still not used to it."

Huo Shijiu cupped his hands and said jokingly, "You're right. I'm really not used to it."

All four of them laughed.

Not long after, the emperor's imperial edict arrived, rewarding Huo Shi with 9000 taels of silver, comforting him, and praising the behavior of the deceased.With the emperor's order, the funeral can be bigger.Within a day, everyone in the entire capital city knew that Jin Ninghou's family was brutally slaughtered by bandits when they went out to play, and all of them died except Mrs. Jin Ninghou who survived.

The little emperor issued an order at the right time, ordering people to hunt down the murderer and punish him severely.

In the back garden of the British government residence, the British justice was lying on the drunkard's chair under the grape arbor, holding a rhinoceros horn comb in his hand, combing the freshly glued beard.After listening to the subordinate's reply, the British prince burst out laughing, the louder he laughed, and finally he laughed unscrupulously.
His voice is now hoarse and sharp, and when he laughs, it sends chills down the spine.

Although goosebumps appeared on the bodies of the subordinates and Qing Ke who was accompanying him, they all echoed and laughed.

As soon as they laughed, the Duke of England stopped laughing and asked seriously, "What are you laughing at?"

With such a question, who would dare to laugh?
Everyone was silent, only one boldly said: "Huo Ying's family members are dead, they deserve it! Tell me that they should have died long ago. It's just that evil comes with evil, and Huo Ying's wrongdoings will be punished on his family. "

The British official sneered when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Of course Huo Ying deserves to die. His family members are not good people, so it would be better if they die. But, what I laughed at was another thing. You say, the world's worst It's ridiculous and sad, isn't it that Huo Ying devoted all his heart to his king, but his family members died at the hands of the king!"

Several people didn't dare to go along with it casually this time, they just kept silent and apologized.

The British Duke murmured: "I want to see what Huo Ying is going to do next. Is he going to avenge his parents, or just go on like this? What will a city man like him do when he encounters such a thing, I really look forward to him performance."

The Huo family's funeral was extremely grand, and after seven days of inactivity, they were buried in the Huo family's ancestral grave.

This place is beautiful, quiet and pleasant, and Huo Shijiu ordered someone to repair the grave again. After crying in front of the grave, he returned to the mansion with Jiang Wu.

After such a toss, even though the death is fake, the funeral is actually done, and the crying is real crying. Jiang Wu and Huo Shijiu are exhausted these days.He ordered his servants to prepare hot soup for a bath, and after the two had a good freshen up, they went to bed early.

When Jiang Wu got up the next day, she was refreshed, but due to such a sad situation, she was much calmer than before.

Tingyu and Yuqiao are very cautious these days, not only wanting to speak to make Jiang Wu happy, but also afraid of making Jiang Wu sad if they don't pay attention to a word, they are more cautious in serving them.

"Ma'am, would you like to wear this today?" Yuqiao and Luorui each held a crescent-white skirt, and the other shook off a silver-white trousers with embroidered chrysanthemums.

Jiang Wu nodded to them in the mirror, Ting Yu took a sterling silver cloud pattern flat square from the dowry, and fixed Jiang Wu's hair in a bun.I also picked up a few small plain silver pear flowers and put them on the sideburns for her.All other accessories are not worn.

Jiang Wu changed her clothes properly, and was not allowed to practice, so she simply took Ting Yu out for a walk, originally thinking of going to the study of the outer courtyard to see Huo Shijiu, but before she reached the gate of the courtyard, there was a servant girl coming and going: "Madam, Miss Du is here."

"Come in, please."

While ordering people to invite people, Jiang Wu went outside to greet them, and saw Du Mingyuan coming in a light blue solemn dress from a distance.

"Yu'er."

"Wu'er, are you feeling better?"

The two held hands and bowed to each other, and Du Mingyuan had tears in his eyes: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I still feel scratchy when I woke up early today. I must be heartbroken thinking of you here, and I can't eat anymore." , just ate a mouthful of porridge and rushed here." The handkerchief wiped Jiang Wu's forehead, and said: "Look at you, you look so bad, you are about to be a mother, you have to be strong for the sake of the child."

Du Mingyuan barely took root in the Huo family these days, and Ye Tiantian and Yang Xi also came three or four times in seven or eight days.Jiang Wu cried, and Du Mingyuan remembered that the Tang family, Jiang Yan and others were also crying, and even more so because of Jiang Wu's tragic loss of her family.After learning that she was pregnant, Du Mingyuan became more and more afraid that she would hurt her body. If she hadn't gone to the burial yesterday, she would have stayed to accompany Jiang Wu.

"I know, thank you for being with me these days. With you here, I feel much better."

Du Mingyuan shook her head, and the pearls on her hair swayed, "Are you going to force yourself to smile in front of me? Wu'er, if you're sad, just cry, don't hold back and get bored."

"I'm really fine."

The two had already entered the house hand in hand after speaking, and Ting Yu went to prepare refreshments and set them up.

Du Mingyuan said: "You have always been strong-tempered, and I know it. These days, let alone you, even I feel panicked. The angel told the Tang family that the date has been fixed, but she is here because of you." I was so moved by the matter, I have been in a low mood for a few days, and even clamored to postpone the marriage with Mr. Tang."

"That can't be done." Jiang Wu was a little anxious, "I will have a good talk with that girl later. A good marriage is not easy to come by, so I should cherish it anyway. She proposed to postpone the marriage because of me. How could the Tang family do that? Agree? It’s not an accident in my own family. The Tang family disagrees. If the angel is honest, wouldn’t there be a quarrel? What if the two of them hurt their feelings because of this.”

"Who says it's not, but don't worry, angels do things in a proper way, and she's really sad."

Du Mingyuan pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, unwilling to bring up sad things to make Jiang Wu sad, so she changed the topic and said something lighthearted.

Jiang Wu knew that she was sincerely for herself, and she was very moved, so she chatted with her to relieve the boredom.

The two of them talked for less than a stick of incense, when a servant girl replied, "Madam, the emperor is here. Lord Hou invites you to the front hall."

"knew.'

Du Mingyuan said: "Go quickly, Lord Hou asked you to go with me because something must be wrong, I am relieved to see that you are fine, so I will leave."

"I rushed to the front, and I happened to be walking with you, so let me see you off."

"Why do you and I care about such trivial etiquette? I plan to walk, and I happen to be taking a walk in your residence. You are pregnant, so you can hurry there in a sedan chair."

"It's so delicate." Jiang Wu took Du Mingyuan's hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will walk with you for a while."

Du Mingyuan was originally worried about Jiang Wu, but it can be seen that her steps are light and fast, and she is not uncomfortable at all, so she is relieved now.

The two walked all the way to the front yard, and Jiang Wucai ordered Yuqiao and Luo Rui to send Du Mingyuan to the carriage, and she took Tingyu to the front hall.

When she came to the door, Jiang Wu saw Cao Yu standing aside with a solemn expression.

Jiang Wu went to Cao Yu first, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Cao Yu replied in a low voice: "I only think of Lord Hou when I am in trouble. I don't like this kind of behavior."

Jiang Wu, who listened to such a straightforward statement, smiled, and said in a low voice: "I don't like it either."

Cao Yu also couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Wu ordered the servants to answer, and then lifted the indigo soft brocade curtain and entered the front hall.

Huo Shijiu was sitting sideways, but the little emperor was spinning around like an ant on a hot pot, his brows were frowned, and he murmured: "What do they mean? It's so good, what are you doing to make trouble."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Huo Shijiu said, "It's not necessarily just to make trouble, maybe it's just an ordinary visit." Looking at Jiang Wu, he said, "You're here, come and sit down."

Jiang Wu saluted the emperor, sat down beside Huo Shijiu, and asked, "What's wrong? The emperor is in such a hurry?" Whenever there was something to do, she would look for Huo Shijiu, and she still looked like she couldn't support the wall. If it is true as Cao Yu said, it will make people look down on him.

Of course, the little emperor didn't know what Jiang Wu was thinking, and said anxiously: "The Kingdom of Jin has come to the letter, saying that the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin will visit soon."

"Visiting?" No wonder when we parted, he said that maybe we could see each other soon, it turned out that he had already planned.

"Yes. The peace treaty signed that day was only three years old, and now a year and a half has passed. The barbarians of the Kingdom of Jin have always been warlike and brave, and now this emperor is stronger than his father. How can I not be worried if I have the means to govern the country so that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the treasury is filled with strong troops and horses? Compared with their Jin country, Dayan has not yet resolved its internal worries, so how can it resist foreign enemies?"

"The emperor is too nervous." Jiang Wu said with a smile: "Perhaps the Jin people came here to show friendship. Isn't it self-defeating that the emperor only cares about the worst of things?"

"Exactly." Huo Nineteen said gently: "Even if it doesn't help, the peace treaty still has one and a half years left. This period of time is enough to settle the internal troubles, and then the emperor can go all out to deal with foreign troubles."

After fighting for so many years, the British Duke has not fallen. Will it succeed this time, and there will be no more variables?
The suspicion in the little emperor's heart was not obvious, but Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu could see it clearly.

Jiang Wu lowered her head to play with the plain silver ring on her left ring finger.Huo Nineteen was also silent.

The little emperor seemed to ponder for a moment, and finally suppressed the anxiety and dissatisfaction in his heart, and then said: "Brother Ying is also right. When the Duke of England is captured, the Kingdom of Jin will be better off than there will be disasters in the country. Brother Ying is extremely smart. , I will definitely be able to come up with a good solution for me at that time."

"The minister is exhausted."

The little emperor frowned, seeing that Huo Shijiu was trying to evade, he was very dissatisfied.

But this time is really not a good time to tear yourself apart with Huo Jiujiu.

The little emperor suppressed his anger and said: "Brother Ying, why is he so self-effacing? Forget it, let's not talk about this matter first, let's talk about the emperor of Jin and his party coming, what should we do."

Huo Shijiu said: "The emperor doesn't need to make any extra preparations for the time being, just instruct the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements for welcoming guests. Anyway, we are the masters, the golden man is the guest, and the guests do as they please. Can we go beyond Dayan's rules? Are you entertaining them?"

What Huo Shijiu actually wanted to say was that the little emperor was too nervous, almost to the point of being a shadow of a snake.He didn't have the composure that an emperor should have at all.

Hearing Huo Shijiu's light beating, the little emperor also realized that he was a little too restless, and no one would make outsiders look down on him, so he coughed and said, "I think so too. I will leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. Go do it."
