Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 340
Zeeland

Gu Xiangsi and the others set off early the next morning, took a break at noon to cook a meal, and then set off again after eating, and arrived at the imperial capital in the evening.

Their speed was extremely fast. The Red Luo Cultists arranged several carriages along the way, and they had to change carriages several times to arrive at the imperial capital so quickly.

Otherwise, at the swaying speed of the carriage in ancient times, it would take two or three days to complete the two hundred miles.

In this way, the powerful strength of the Red Luo Cultists will be shown.

Yifutan originally established Hongluo Cultists to facilitate the search for the owner of Acacia Tears.

Unexpectedly, his momentary selfishness was used for official affairs, but it turned out to be a great deed for the people of the world.

Now almost all Hong Luo believers have disbanded. Before disbanding, Gu Xiangsi gave them the antidote to freedom, and told them that if they accumulate virtue and do good deeds, they will go to heaven to become gods after death.

cough cough!This is also a white lie of hers. Instead of letting them do anything wrong in the future, it is better to use a lie to guide people to be good.

One more good person in the world is better than one more evil person.

As for after death?When people die, everything is empty, what else do they want to do?Don't they know whether they can become gods or not?
At least when they are alive, they do good deeds and accumulate virtue, live with a clear conscience, and their souls are at ease. Isn't this also a kind of good fortune for them?

The gatekeepers recognized the carriage of Princess Zhen, even if the carriage had been changed many times, wouldn't the gold-encrusted purple glazed flying phoenix lantern still be there?
This thing was bestowed by the emperor. It is said that it is a tribute from a jade kingdom in the Western Regions. It is the only one in the world. The luminous pearl inside is even a rare treasure.

Moreover, the king of Zhen loves to grind incense, so he developed a kind of lamp incense for the princess of Zhen, named "Taozhiyaoyao". The aroma of peach blossoms in spring.

Princess Zhen is back, and everyone is very happy, because as soon as the princess comes back, Baiweiju will definitely have new dishes.

cough cough!Food is the most important thing for the people, so they are greedy for it.

The carriage entered the city from the south gate and drove all the way. On the usually bustling and bustling street, it was already under the afterglow of the setting sun. There were only a few pedestrians and old people who were slowly closing their stalls.

"Mother...Mother..." Long Chen was a naughty brat who couldn't sit still, sitting in the carriage at this moment, he had to crawl over to let his mother hug him.

Gu Xiangsi stretched out her arms to hug him and sat on her lap. When she saw that he wanted the curtains first, she patted his little hand and reprimanded him with a straight face: "How many times have mother told you? You are not allowed to lie on the window in the car, you know it's dangerous?" Know?"

Long Chen was trained to be honest, he put his arms around his mother's neck flatteringly, kissed his mother's face, smiled and showed a few baby teeth, and yelled flatteringly: "Mother...Mother... …mother……"

Gu Xiangsi was so angry that he raised his hand to his forehead, such a mischievous person, she is really... so helpless!
"Mother...Mother..." Long Chen kissed his mother to curry favor with the obedient, seeing his mother ignore him, he didn't want to cry in sadness, turned around and crawled away, and mischievously teased his younger brother again.

Long Xi didn't like this devil brother at all, as soon as he saw Long Chen crawling towards him, he immediately ran quickly, turned a corner, took a detour, and ran to his mother's side.

Gu Xiangsi was pulled by her sleeve, and she helplessly hugged her youngest son. Seeing that his elder brother couldn't catch him, this brat kicked his legs wildly, giggling, which showed that he was not an easy-going lamp.

Long Chen was supporting his mother's legs to get up, and stretched out his hand to pull Long Xi's pants.

"Brat, if you pull your brother's pants again, it will fall off." Gu Xiangsi almost yelled hoarse along the way, this brat, can't you just stay calm for a while?
Long Xi kicked his legs and chattered, his little pants were about to be removed by his brother.

Lu Wei and Xi Lin hurriedly got up and walked over, took the two little ancestors away, and if they provoked the princess again, the princess would have to yell at them again.

Along the way, the concubine's voice became hoarse, and if she went back to let the prince see her, the prince should feel distressed.

After driving for a long time, the carriage arrived at the Prince Zhen's Mansion amidst the children's endless fuss.

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard that the princess and the two princes had returned, he put down his busy work and rushed to the gate to greet him.

Gu Xiangsi stepped down the car ladder, and when she saw Zhao Sheng, she walked over and asked with a smile, "Where is the prince? Are you not at home?"

"Back to the princess, the lord didn't know you were coming back today, so he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick you up." Zhao Sheng replied respectfully, and at the same time waved his hands to order people to unload the car.

"Go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick up someone?" Gu Xiangsi stepped up the steps in front of the gate, and when she heard Zhao Sheng's words, she paused, looked back at him and frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"Going back to the princess, they are the three surviving members of the Ren family." Zhao Sheng was following behind the princess, and suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, and turned his head to see the prince returning.

Gu Xiangsi also saw Xiling Yan coming back on horseback, but... who was sitting in the carriage behind?

Who are the remaining three members of the Ren family?
Xilingyan's serious and cold handsome face was expressionless, but after seeing Gu Xiangsi, the indifference and alienation that strangers should not get close to disappeared, the corners of her mouth raised, her eyebrows and eyes opened, she got off her horse and strode over, hugged her, smiling openly. She whispered in her ear: "I haven't seen you for a day, Madam will know that I'm sick of lovesickness for my husband."

"You're being silly again." Gu Xiangsi smiled reassuringly as she was held in his arms.

It's good that he's fine, and her restlessness along the way has disappeared at this moment.

Xi Lingyan heard that her voice was hoarse, let go of her, stroked her neck with her big hand, looked at her and frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"

"It's nothing, I just yelled at Long Chen on the way, he is so mischievous." Gu Xiangsi raised his hand and pinched his throat, it hurt a little, just drink some powder later and it will be fine.

Xilingyan turned her head to look at Long Chen who was being hugged by Lu Wei, this kid just didn't take care of him, if he was away for a day, he would rebel against the heavens, look what he has done to his mother?

"Father...Father..." Long Chen had a sweet mouth, and he was the best at being obedient and trying to please people.Seeing his father squinting at him coldly, he immediately smiled brightly and cutely.

Gu Xiangsi raised her hand to rest her forehead, and she felt a headache again. This son is just a little monster, very spirited.

"What's wrong? Headache? Still feeling unwell?" Seeing that she was so tired, Xi Lingyan picked her up and walked towards the palace.

Lu Wei and Xi Lin followed behind with their children in their arms. Chu Qing and Fei Shu took the medicine box and a basket of fresh strawberries from the carriage. These were the big and sour strawberries picked by the princess on the way to the orchard. Sweet and tasty strawberries.

The concubine brought it back specially to make a strawberry milkshake for the prince to try.

Anyway!The strawberries in this season are the best, but the sweetest ones are grown in their own fields. This requires patience and continuous improvement to grow large and sweet strawberries.

Zhao Sheng stayed, walked over, and invited the three people out of the carriage.

Mo Yun went over and carried the child down. He has been following the prince for the past two days, and the child Ren Yuyan didn't resist him much anymore.

Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren Si also got out of the carriage, and were invited into the mansion by Zhao Sheng, and they were arranged in a Yalin Garden in the west. This place is big and spacious, and there are two courtyards, enough for their mothers The two live together.

As for Ren Yuyan?The child's condition was not very good, so he was taken to Bibo Residence by Mo Yun, and placed in the Wind and Rain Building closest to Mingyue Garden. This small building has two floors and six rooms, which is enough for a child to live in.

Zhao Sheng was the safest in dealing with affairs. He arranged six maids, two maids, two maids, and one cook in each of the small courtyards of Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren, which were enough for them to order.

Fourth Miss Ren wanted to bring her personal maid into the palace, but Xi Lingyan suspected that the Ren family was a mole, so the servants of the Ren family were not allowed to get close to the three survivors.

"You two have a good rest, and the villain will leave first." Zhao Sheng bowed, smiled and saluted, and then withdrew.

After Zhao Sheng left, Mrs. Ren asked the maids to retreat.Holding Fourth Miss Ren's hand, the two of them sat on the Arhat's bed. She smiled and said, "The king's mansion in this town is really big. A guest courtyard is equivalent to the main courtyard of our mansion."

"Second Aunt..." Fourth Miss Ren, Ren Qianqian said that when her second aunt held hands, she felt a little uneasy.

"What are you afraid of? In this palace, there is only Princess Zhen, the mistress. She has already given birth to four children. No matter how good-looking she is, her body can't compare to that of the big girl with yellow flowers, right?" Second Mrs. Ren said wishfully Abacus, coaxing Ren Qianqian with a smile, said: "Now we are helpless, and it is not a problem to live under the fence for a long time. That kid Yan'er looks stupid again, so don't expect him to support the Ren family in the future. So... don't we depend on you for our good life in the future?"

"Second aunt, you..." Ren Qianqian has always been a 14-year-old girl, someone asked her to seduce a man, how could she not feel ashamed and blushed?

"Qianqian, don't be stupid. Whether it is the status of the emperor, or the literary and martial arts, as well as the appearance, the king of the town is not worthy of you? You can be his side concubine, but many women can't imagine how beautiful they are. something." Mrs. Ren took Ren Qianqian's soft and boneless little hand, and patiently coaxed her, but she couldn't believe that a girl like a flower would not like such a stunning and talented man as Xiling Yan.

Ren Qianqian was really persuaded by her second aunt. She was originally a concubine, and her father was also a concubine. She was two heads shorter than a human when she was born. Even if her grandfather was still there, her marriage was at most an ordinary scholar. What if she married a husband? I don't know when I will be named on the gold list.

But now that her grandfather and parents are gone, only she and her terrified nephew are left in the Ren family.

If she can really get into the eyes of the King of Zhen, because her grandfather used to be the tutor of the King of Zhen, he will definitely not treat her badly. Among the two concubines, she will definitely have a place.

The prince's side concubine is of high grade and can be included in the imperial jade certificate.

Even if the sons and daughters in the future cannot be princesses, they will be much more noble than the first sons of other families.

Based on the emperor's favor and trust in the prince of the town, in the future, the son and the second daughter will not be able to get a title at all?
Whether it's the Marquis or the county man, they are all titles.

If the daughter can't be the princess, the county princess should be able to get one, right?

If you think about it carefully, if you can marry the king of Zhen as a side concubine, it is really more beautiful than being the wife of some people.

Moreover, King Zhen is good-looking, capable, and can be his wife, even if he is wronged to be his concubine, there must be many women who are willing to do so, right?

When Second Madam Ren saw that Ren Qianqian's face was pink and her eyes looked like eyes, she knew she was tempted.

After talking for a while, he called the maid and sent her back to her yard to rest.

Is this a matter of urgency? The future is long, and we need a step-by-step plan.

……

next day
Gu Xiangsi had a good rest yesterday, and after taking the decoction, her throat improved a lot.

Early this morning, she asked someone to invite Dongfang Yanyu, and she took a look at Ren Yuyan herself first. The child was frightened and injured, and psychological counseling is not something that can be done in a day or two.

"Grasshopper, time, time!" Although Long Chen is a fussy kid, it's good to be a fuss sometimes, as he gets close to Ren Yuyan, Ren Yuyan can be less wary.

Long Xi also changed his temper today, he didn't know where Xilin took him to pick the magnolia flower, and when he entered the house, he put the magnolia flower in Ren Yuyan's hand, threw himself into his arms and hugged him, as if comforting someone It looks cute and cute.

Xiling Yan is also really concerned about Ren Yuyan, after all, this child is already the only flesh and blood of the Ren family.

The teacher's revenge must be avenged, but the roots of the Ren family cannot be broken. Ren Yuyan is the future hope of the Ren family, and he must not stay like this.

Gu Xiangsi put one hand on the back of his hand, looked at him, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry too much, with my elder brother and I here, we will definitely heal him. It's really not possible, and Ah Yue, it's a big deal for me Go write a letter and ask them to come back and take a good look at this child, after all, the child is still young, if you treat it slowly, it will be cured."

Xiling Yan held her hand instead, resting her forehead on the back of her hand. It was also strange that the Ren family's disaster had come so suddenly.

He suspected that the people behind Xia Ling were acting. The other party might be taking revenge on him. After all, he killed Xia Ling, the leader of the remaining party of Prince Kang Qian, and severed one of his important arms. How could the other party not hate him to the bone?
"Princess, Second Madam Ren, and Fourth Miss Ren are here." Chu Qing announced outside, then stepped back sideways, and invited the two of them into the hall.

Gu Xiangsi looked at Mrs. Ren who was wearing a navy blue shirt with large sleeves, and then at Ren Qianqian who was wearing a moon-white skirt. She got up and walked over, took Ren Qianqian's hand, looked at Mrs. Ren and said softly: " Mrs. Ren, Mrs. Ren is Ah Yan’s benefactor, so we are all one family. Let’s do it this way! The dead are the most important. I will tell Butler Zhao to set up a small mourning hall for you in Yalin Garden. I will also pay homage to the spirit of the old man Ren with the prince."

"This...isn't that good?" Mrs. Ren was really shocked. How can anyone not feel bad luck to let an outsider set up a small mourning hall in his home?
Ren Qianqian also looked at the town princess carefully, she looked really gentle, which was not at all the same as the outside rumors.

Gu Xiangsi took Ren Qianqian and invited her and the second wife to sit down. He took Ren Qianqian's hand to comfort her and said, "Fourth miss, second lady, you don't have to be too jealous. I already know about the death of the old man Ren. It is right for an old man to be filial. Even Ah Yan and I should be filial to his old man."

"Princess..." Ren Qianqian was not only surprised at this moment, but more or less grateful and admired.

The second wife of Ren is much more sophisticated than Ren Qianqian, she will not be so easily moved by this small favor of Gu Xiangsi.It's just that I still have to face it, so I bowed my head and saluted, and said sadly: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but... After all, this is not good, it's better to avoid it."

Gu Xiangsi still wanted to say something, but Xiling Yan grabbed her hand. She turned to look at Xiling Yan, frowning slightly, not understanding why he stopped her. Could it be that he was also jealous of some bad luck?

Xiling Yan didn't have these taboos, but letting the second wife Ren and Ren Qianqian wear filial piety in the King's Mansion would damage Ren Qianqian's reputation to some extent.

Because there are many precedents in Xihe country, the son-in-law's home can set up a small mourning hall for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It is also because of this that he cannot agree to this matter, because it will damage Ren Qianqian's reputation, and the outside world does not know what it will be like.

Mrs. Ren just declined for a while and put on a show. She didn't expect Xilingyan to be so thoughtful that she thought of this level and stopped Gu Xiangsi.well!If I knew this earlier, I might as well agree to it before.

Ren Qianqian naturally didn't understand her second aunt's plan, but after she stopped Gu Xiangsi in Xiling Yan, she was still a little bit lost and sad.

"Yaomeier, you are looking for me..." Dongfang Yanyu swaggered into Mingyue Garden. After entering the door, he found that the atmosphere was not right. He walked over sideways, bent behind Gu Xiangsi and asked, "What's the situation?"

"What's the matter? See the patient first." Gu Xiangsi frowned, turned to look at Dongfang Yanyu, and signaled him to go and see Ren Yuyan. The child's condition is not very good.

Dongfang Yanyu straightened up, walked around in a circle, sat down beside Ren Yuyan, raised her sleeves a bit, reached out and clasped the child's wrist, and looked at the child's pupils, the child's complexion and mental state .

Mrs. Ren is also a woman in a deep house. Seeing Dongfang Yanyu's good looks, she seemed to have good medical skills, so she pretended to frown slightly and asked, "Princess, I don't know, this young master... who is it?" ?”

Gu Xiangsi had been looking at Dongfang Yanyu and Ren Yuyan intently before, and when she heard the second lady Ren's question, she turned her head to look at each other with a smile and replied: "This son is the husband of Princess Yuehua, Dongyue Prince Yanyu of the country, my brother. His medical skills are not bad. I asked him to come and see Mr. Ren. One person considers the shortcoming, and the two consider the long-term. We discuss and treat Mr. Ren, which is better than a troubled person who has no results. .”

Ren Qianqian took a few glances at Prince Yanyu, and he really had a good skin.It's a pity that he is just a prince of Dongyue Kingdom and the husband of Princess Huayue, so it is impossible for him to have any future.

But, how could Gu Xiangsi and Dongfang Yanyu be brothers and sisters?
Ren Qianqian is also a boudoir lady, so she has no information at all, so naturally she has never heard that Gu Xiangsi is Xuan Tianzi's apprentice.

Dongfang Yanyu withdrew her hand, frowned and said: "This child has been frightened a lot, and his health is not good. It should be caused by years of abuse."

After hearing Dongfang Yanyu's diagnosis, Gu Xiangsi lowered her eyes and sighed: "My senior brother and I have the same diagnosis result. I was also surprised at the time. The Ren family is a scholarly family. Who is so vicious and would kill a man like this?" child?"

"Princess, our Ren family has always passed on benevolence and righteousness to the family. It is absolutely impossible for someone to do such...such..." Second Mrs. Ren met Gu Xiangsi's gaze directly at her, and she couldn't accept the words behind her. I said it.

Ren Qianqian really didn't know anything about this matter, she was also surprised, how could someone hurt her ten-year-old nephew?
"Madam, you don't have to rush to deny this matter. We are doctors, and we can know exactly what has happened to the child once we get a pulse." , it is inevitable that there will be some dirty things.

Mrs. Ren was silent, because there were indeed some dirty things in their house, and the fifth room was not clean, and there were many open and secret fights. As the head of the fifth room, Sun Mingli, Ren Yuyan would naturally persecute him secretly.

Ren Yuyan's stepmother is not a good stubble either, she treats Ren Yuyan well on the surface, but behind her back... Sigh!That woman did indeed abuse her stepson a lot.

Gu Xiangsi asked Chuqing to take all the children down, but as for Mrs. Ren and Ren Qianqian?They are also pitiful now, and she doesn't bother to argue with them about some things.

Before the second wife Ren and Ren Qianqian left, they wanted to explain to Gu Xiangsi, but Gu Xiangsi didn't want to hear a word.

It is indeed heartbreaking that the Ren family suffered such a tragedy.

She will do her best to take care of the three of them, but that's all. She won't be close to such a scheming person from the beginning, because she doesn't want to be too tired.

Mrs. Ren regretted it to death. If she had known that things would get out of control today, she shouldn't have come here today. Maybe...these things that caught her off guard would not happen, causing her to be missed by Gu Xiangsi all at once. The town princess is estranged.

Ren Qianqian has always been very nervous, because what she is going to do is really insulting to the gentlemen, and she will also plaster the face of the Ren family's scholarly family.

But... She really fell in love with Lord Zhen Wang, he is so nice, I believe that without that woman, she would not like him, right?
From yesterday to today, she has seen a man who is extremely gentle and considerate. This man is still so precious, but he treats Gu Xiangsi really tenderly... It's so enviable.

……

The Ren family is almost extinct, and now there are only three lucky ones left, but the Ren family wants to be buried as soon as possible.

Because Xilingyan had found some clues, Xia Jinhua led people to do the Ren family.

This was a revenge. He was ashamed of the dead of Ren's family. Before Mr. Ren and his first seven days, he held a funeral for all the members of Ren's family, and dressed in white to pay filial piety for Mrs. Ren, saying goodbye to his benefactor.

Gu Xiangsi also attended the funeral of the deceased members of the Ren family. At the funeral, there were many people coming and going, and all of them had expressions of grief.

Xiling Yan has been organizing the funerals of the Ren family all by herself, and naturally there were some rumors and gossips during the period.

After all, how could Xilingyan, a prince, serve the funeral of an old man without any official position without arousing criticism?
Gu Xiangsi also heard some gossip, but it was just that the King of Zhen took all Ren's family members into the mansion, and there was a girl who was not married to Ji, who knew whether the King of Zhen had a concubine, or wanted to marry What is the side concubine thinking?

Anyway, she was really getting tired of hearing such gossip.

　Dear friends, there will be an update today. Yunling is sick again. She went to the hospital and wrote so much when she came back. I’m sorry dears, hugs
