Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 111

The days passed quickly, and it had been several days since Li Ji Ya and his group went to Wen Zhan at Meridian Gate.

The smell of blood dissipated, and the air in the capital slowly became fresh.The big girl and the little daughter-in-law also went out generously and went home happily. On the lively street, smiling faces with hands in greeting can be seen everywhere.

The strange thing is that the Ji Mansion held a funeral for Ji Ya with great fanfare, and even Concubine Ji came out of the palace to express her condolences.Not only did he complete the dojo in the first seven days, but he also didn't miss a beat in the seventh consecutive day.On the second day after Ji Ya was beheaded, Ji's mansion set up a mourning hall and held a banquet in the mansion.Who dares to go to this white banquet?If you go to Ji Ya who was beheaded by the Emperor, wouldn't you be following Ji Guogong to rebel against the Emperor?
Facing the empty banquet, Ji Guogong was not angry, because although everyone did not dare to come, there were many tributes secretly sent to the Duke's mansion.Himekawa secretly counted the number of backbone members of Ji's party: it seems that the time has come.

The emperor was so angry that his face turned green, but there was nothing he could do. Even Concubine Ji was gone, how could he still scold her?

"Guo Kuan, am I getting old? I can't even control my own concubine." The emperor looked dejected.

Guo Kuan bowed his head and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, you are not old, it is the imperial concubine who is."

The emperor didn't say anything, but he had a rift with the imperial concubine in his heart.He suddenly remembered that Sun Yanxi had made meritorious service in interrogating Ji Ya's case, but because of Concubine Ji's face, he did not dare to mention it in the future, nor did he dare to give her a reward.right!You prepare a white banquet, and I will contribute to Sun Yanxi’s red banquet!
"Guo Kuan, according to my decree, Sun Yanxi has made great achievements in solving the case. It coincides with his wedding. I will give him 2000 taels of silver, [-] pieces of silk, [-] gold and silver ornaments, and an imperial mansion to congratulate him on his wedding." The emperor said. After finishing, he leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and took a nap.

When Sun Mansion received the gift list from Guo's servant, he was really shocked: How can this be a reward for an official?These are enough rewards for the prince’s wedding!

When King Duan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. He said to Sun Yanxi: "This is my father fighting with Duke Ji. You should be careful and just watch from the side to avoid being accidentally hurt."

"It's easy to control other times, but I'm afraid of the wedding day."

King Duan also fell silent.This was what he was worried about.

The Sun Mansion was decorated with lanterns and decorations, and the Cheng Mansion was also undergoing changes.

Yesterday, a new housekeeper came to the Cheng Mansion, an old man named Deng Dexiang.Deng Dexiang came to help the Cheng family when the old man was here. Later, the old man hired young Cheng Li as the housekeeper. Deng Dexiang went to the late wife's manor and became the head of the manor. The whole family was in charge of the manor.

Deng Dexiang didn't want to take care of this big stall in the mansion anymore, but he couldn't resist the old lady's two words: "Steward Deng, there are many old and young in the mansion now. If you don't show up, you will do something like the stall in front of me. Do you want to If you want to enjoy happiness as soon as possible, bring out a decent apprentice as soon as possible. Among other things, character comes first!"

Deng Dexiang had no choice but to return to his old business and manage the Cheng family inside and outside.

Cheng Hanbai asked Yu Lang to pick a few smart guards to the mansion to serve as the guards in the mansion.Because there will be a wedding in the mansion next year, many girls and women will be bought, and Ji'er and Shuang'er will also take care of them.Butler Deng was in charge of people and affairs, and Haitang took care of money and accounts.

For a time, there were new people and a new atmosphere in the Cheng Mansion, and people came and went, which added a lot of vitality.

Xie Ruitang came to see Haitang as usual. "We don't have a mistress at home, so it's hard work for you as a little girl." Xie Ruitang smiled, held Haitang's hand, gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, and said, "But this is fine. I'll wait for you in the future. Once you get to Prince Duan's Mansion, you'll be able to handle things with ease."

"Who is going to take care of your Prince Duan's Mansion?" Haitang blushed, and laughed again: "Just wait for my sister-in-law to come in, and let her take care of all the family affairs. I'd better be my girl .”

"Xie Qingyao? She's the housekeeper? I'm coughing! Cough! We'll wait and see." Xie Ruitang laughed maliciously.

He sat down and pulled Haitang onto his lap. He took the end of Haitang's braided hair with one hand and played with it around his fingers. He put his other hand around Haitang's waist.After thinking for a moment, he said:

"This time I pushed your righteous brother to the front, killed Ji Ya, but also offended the Ji family. I could have waited, but Ji Ya is too rampant. If he doesn't die, Qingwafang will die every day. I I really can’t wait until the day I destroy Ji’s gang and kill him!”

Haitang nodded: "This is also my sworn brother's choice. He won't blame you."

Xie Ruitan smiled and said: "I know he won't blame me. I'm worried that Yan Xi's family is now caught in the crossfire between his father and Duke Ji, and has been put on fire. Especially Yan Xi's wedding, with so many people I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of him, and I'm afraid that someone will be blamed. You should also pay more attention to your adoptive parents. I have sent two secret guards to protect Yan Xi, and An Qi knows how to contact them."

Ever since Ji Ya's sore was dug out, Ji Dang began to demonstrate to the court and even to the emperor.The Jinwu Guards, Shenjiying, and Xichang became sharp claws exposed to Xie Ruitang.Concubine Ji, Haitang, as well as Sun Yang and his son, who are already on the Duanwang camp, will all face the blood shadow and sword light.

Haitang nodded solemnly and said, "On the day of the wedding, I will also ask Ji'er and Liuying to keep an eye on the kitchen to prevent anyone from tampering with the food."

Xie Ruitang hugged her and rested his head on Haitang's shoulder: "I'm sorry, not only can I not protect you all the time, but I make you worry about my affairs. Only now I finally understand the truth that the more you have, the more timid you become. "

"Silly! These people who follow you to do great things are all your partners, and they are all people we must try our best to protect. What's more, they are all my relatives." Haitang touched his face gently and said:

"You are not timid, but you have become more responsible. The more you worry about the royal family, the world, your friends, and me, the greater the responsibility in your heart, and the more cautious you will be."

From the warmth coming from her palm, Xie Ruitang felt a long-lost sense of peace, as if this small shoulder was the harbor waiting for him to return home and allow him to dock.

He wished that time would stop at this moment.

However, sharp teeth and claws are hard to guard against.It was inevitable that Yan Xi's wedding would be disrupted, and unfortunately they were right!
"Sun Yanxi? It's a good thing that the emperor didn't mention it. Since the emperor has given such a heavy gift, how can I bear to let the wedding pass mediocrely?"

In the Duke's Mansion, Ji's father and son are causing trouble again.
