The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 247
Ambergris scented in the imperial study room, and the little emperor stood with his hands behind his back after listening to Xu Si'an's words, his slightly youthful expression already showed a bit of an emperor's attitude of worrying about the country and the people.His slender knuckles tapped lightly on the imperial case, then he turned his head and asked Xu Si'an, "What does Marquis Wu An mean, the rebellion in the south is not as serious as the memorial?"

Xu Si'an nodded, put his hands on his knees, and said, "According to the local people, there were about 6000 to [-] people in that group, and they also captured several cities before, but because of the exhaustion of their former vigor and the will of the people, He has been pinned down by several general soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and then he can only hide in the mountains, and it has not become a big climate. This time, the Weichen led his troops to encircle and suppress those hills, and more than [-] people have been wiped out, but still There are more than two thousand evils fleeing, I originally planned to return to Beijing to return to the capital after all of them were wiped out, but I heard that my mother is not well at home, so..."

When Xu Si'an said this, he got up and knelt down before the emperor again, but Zhou Xu was a little puzzled at this moment. He turned his head and saw Xu Si'an knelt down again, and only said, "Ai Qing is flat." He frowned and thought for a while, still Feeling puzzled, he asked: "According to Ai Qing's statement, the Regent's sending [-] troops this time is simply catching a turtle in a urn, and it's no problem to deal with those [-] bandits?"

"The [-] army really frightened the rebels. I thought that [-] elite soldiers would be enough to quell the chaos. However, the south has always been a troubled place. This time, the army can also show the power of the court. It's a good thing." Xu Si'an stood up and analyzed the matter logically.

Zhou Xu nodded when he heard this, sat down on the dragon chair again, and put the matter aside beforehand. When he raised his head, he happened to see Xu Si'an's majestic and handsome eyes. Although he was dissatisfied, he also I have to admit that Xu Si'an is indeed a handsome man. Although his appearance is not as good as that of Uncle Guo, the famous general temperament exuded from him is not at the same level as Wei Mingzhen's foolishness.

No wonder Zhao Jing doesn't like herself or Wei Mingzhen, but she likes Xu Si'an.

"Xu Aiqing, are you satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you?" Since the little emperor liked Zhao Jing, he was still very worried that Xu Si'an would treat Zhao Jing badly in the future, so he decided to question her personally now.

Xu Si'an didn't react for a while after hearing this. To be honest, he would marry Zhao Jing regardless of the emperor's arrangements.But since the little emperor asked, he naturally had to express his determination.

"I am not only here to plead guilty to the emperor today, but also to thank the emperor. I will definitely treat Princess Xiaoshan well. Please rest assured."

The little emperor was quite satisfied after hearing this, thought for a while and said: "Although Princess Xiaoshan is not a member of the royal family, she is the uncle's newly recognized righteous sister and my aunt. Although your wedding is not according to royal etiquette, But after marriage, you can't bully her, you have to remember her identity."

Xu Si'an couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it seems that the little emperor is also a person who protects his weaknesses, does it mean that he doesn't believe that he will treat his aunt well?How dare he bully her?He just hurt her badly.Xu Si'an laughed when he thought of this, and said frankly to the little emperor: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely remember the identity of the eldest princess."

The little emperor always felt a little unconvinced by Xu Si'an's guarantee, but the eunuch outside came in to spread the word, saying that it was noon and the lunch from the imperial dining room had been delivered, so he didn't have time to leave Xu Si'an to study this issue carefully. A few pleasantries on the scene made Xu Si'an retreat.

When Xu Si'an came out of the imperial study, he felt that the sun outside was getting more and more beautiful. The carriage went all the way from the palace to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. He didn't have much business these days, so he could rest at home for a few days. The tea in the military camp is too hard to swallow. Zhao Jing made it well with her own hands.

But when Xu Si'an returned to his door, he found that there were more than half of the servants in the house, and the porter hurriedly came to greet him. Xu Si'an looked at the boy who was only ten years old in front of him and asked in confusion: "Where are the people in the house? Why? Are they all gone? Where's Butler Zhou?"

"Master Hou, you're back. Steward Zhou has gone out, and asked the little one to wait for Master Hou at home."

"What did Steward Zhou ask you to wait for me at home?" Xu Si'an became more and more confused, there was no one in the Hou Mansion, and Steward Zhou wanted this half-grown child to send a message to him?
"Butler Zhou asked the younger one to tell Lord Hou that the old lady went to Gulou Street to hire Lord Hou on a whim. She borrowed all the servants and guards from the outer courtyard. The younger one was too young to carry things, so she was arrested. left behind."

"What... what?" The second monk Xu Si'an couldn't figure it out, and said a little bit dumbfounded: "Go to hire for me? Benhou himself doesn't know?"

Xu Si'an didn't care about how many people were still in the house, he turned around and walked outside the door, led the horse in front of the carriage, turned over, and rode the horse towards Gulou Street.
