Chapter 190 – Aunt and Cousin
Chapter 190 – Aunt and Cousin
Jiang Yuqi has been fourteen years old, born of the pavilion, appearance is also considered beautiful, just a boy nature, naughty tight.
Smiling and pouting, said: “I know mother, what is there to be afraid of elder brother, isn’t he just a big kid? Than Yuqi not older than a few years old, for fear of not reading outside, the name and the Song family brother with a Qing word, for fear of poor Song family brother far away na!”
Zheng Guo Chang Princess could not help but knit her brows and reprimanded: “That Song Ruqing is after all an outsider, which does not protect his own brother, toward the outsiders? You are more and more ignorant!”
Jiang Yuqi hummed heavily and looked away.
At this point in time, a maid’s voice came from outside: “Shizi!”
The eldest princess of Zheng Guo immediately pulled Jiang Yuqi to sit upright.
A little while Xin Zhuo entered the room, swept a glance at the mother and daughter, signaling Sai Qingzhu to put down the large bags of gifts, saluted and smiled: “Greetings Auntie!”
“Yuqing no need to be polite, why bring any gifts in your own home, make people laugh!”
Zheng Guo Chang Princess slightly reproach, then kindly gesture Xin Zhuo sit down, deliberated for a while before saying: “Invite you to have no other meaning, aunt is a straight-talking person, something to say things. Your that …… that Xin four, later renamed Xin Ao Tian, in fact, is the aunt’s door of the slave …… houseguest, when the House of the chaos, to hold you to go, the matter of the aunt has the responsibility to cause you to eat these years of suffering, Yu Qing can not blame the aunt. ”
It turned out to be this, in fact, this matter Xin Zhuo has looked down, grandfather bones are rusty, who is right and who is wrong regardless of it, but his mind suddenly moved, pretending to be curious: “What happened in the end that year? Why Xin …… four, will take me out, Jiang family servants numerous, strict door rules, more or less …… unreasonable, right?”
“This matter is nothing to hide, you will know sooner or later ……”
Zheng Guo’s eldest princess sighed: “Fourteen years ago, that is, in the 12th year of the Heavenly Mandate, the five hundred thousand troops of the seven western countries attacked in force, defeating the Western Qin army three times, and consecutively descending on thirty-one cities in a month!
The late emperor ordered the Jiang Clan’s five county kings and twenty-six direct lineages, totaling thirty-one people, to go on the expedition, resulting in the total annihilation of the army, with no one surviving, and the Western Qin border lost two states and twenty-seven prefectures.
The news came, the capital is terrified, Jiang’s chaos, coincided with a chaotic rebellion, burning and looting around, part of the opportunity to break into the Jiang family, twelve Jiang’s direct lineage of boys were decapitated, if it is not the old Taijun and your mother my sister Ji Jiwei wrist tough, protect the jade kui, but also chopped off seven generals of the chaos, stabilized the line, I am afraid that …… is also in the At that time Xin Si took advantage of the chaos and took you away, otherwise where would he have a chance?”
Said here, looked at his face, and said: “Later, the old Taijun and your mother led the widowed family to go on the war, even the aunt also personally on the battlefield chopped one or two hundred people, and ultimately swept away the enemy forces in the western region, to recover the lost land.
In short, you don’t need to worry about this matter, Jiang’s family is full of loyalty, the sound of the world’s eighteen states, no matter the royal family or the court, all owe our family!”
Xin Zhuo nodded his head, that battle must be the battle of the Kunxu Demon, the Jiang family’s entire army was wiped out, Wuzhuzhong’s eldest sister said it was a trap, and then according to Zheng Guo’s Chief Princess’s statement, this matter is really a bit fishy!
Twelve male children of the first line of the Jiang clan were killed, but no girls ……
Zheng Guo’s eldest princess had already pulled over Jiang Yuqi: ”Come and meet your elder brother!
“Greetings to elder brother, Yuqi is courteous!”
Jiang Yuqi blinking bushy eyes, looking up and down Xin Zhuo, suddenly said: “Elder brother is Jiang Clan’s firstborn, I’m afraid that in the near future will be inheriting the county king’s position, in the future, you will be the master of the Jiang family, can you send someone to propose a marriage to Yuqi, Yuqi likes Song family’s brother Song Ruqing!”
“Yu Qi!”
The eldest princess of Zheng Guo was unspeakably embarrassed.
Xin Zhuo felt a bit funny, a woman is not a woman, and asked, “Then what is the origin of the Song family, tell me about it?”
Jiang Yuqi tilted her head:Â “The son of the Right Servant of Shangshu Province’s family, now serving in the Feng Jian Division!”
The official position is not small, it is also considered a family match, Xin Zhuo waved his hand: “Proper! When my elder brother tests this person some other day, I will definitely tell my grandmother to make a decision for you!”
Jiang Yuqi blinked: “Brother still don’t test, brother Ruqing’s martial arts is extremely high, and his literary talent is also good, you can’t compare to him!”
Xin Zhuo:”……”
Based on your words, this matter of you marrying a man is over! Your elder brother holds a grudge.
The First Princess of Zheng couldn’t help but rebuke in an indignant voice: “Yu Qi, you don’t know the rules!”
Jiang Yuqi spat out her tongue and made a face at Xin Zhuo: “That’s all I’m going to say, Brother Shizi who can’t do anything!”
Xin Zhuo looked at the Eldest Princess of Zheng, the sentence “Can I beat her up?” almost came out of his mouth. “After your fourth uncle left, auntie’s discipline was not strict, but called Yuqing to look at the joke!” Eldest Princess Zheng was even more embarrassed.
“No matter, still small! In addition Xin Si that matter, auntie and rest assured, all in the past!”
The two chatted for a while longer, Xin Zhuo signaled to send a few scriptures in the afternoon for Jiang Yuqi to copy ten times, in order to fulfill her elder brother’s fists of love and care, and got up to leave.
As a result, this side has just left the courtyard, in the distance there is another steward who hurriedly came and saluted: “World son, the second prince is invited!”
Second Prince? Jiang Yukui?
Xin Zhuo is actually curious about this brother, it is said that this kid is only half a year younger than himself, he is good at eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and playing, he bullies the city and does nothing wrong, he is one of the notorious villains in the capital.
It is a …… elegant person!
Along with the steward forward, around the layers of the court yard, and finally arrived in front of the “Feng Xing courtyard”.
“Feng Xing courtyard” is also the residence of the first son of the Jiang clan, and Xin Zhuo’s “Feng Wei courtyard” only one word difference, “Wei” seems to be more than “line The word “Wei” seems to have more meaning than “Hsing”.
“Closer, closer, good! Don’t move!”
Spacious and luxurious courtyard came a burst of drinking call, only to see two dozen green-clothed servants pushing a large wooden high wheeled ladder, on which sits a brocade-clothed teenager, four-square face, round eyes, at first glance is quite serious, take a closer look at it is full of cunning and treacherous.
At this time in the base …… wigwam? Or chaotic pile of wood.
From the bottom of the wooden table, stools, stones, water tanks, screens, wooden boxes, layers of stacked, without any bracket, crooked, but the base to do three feet high and do not fall.
“Second Duke, be careful!”
Not far away more than a dozen beautiful maidservants were nervous, obviously without the ability to catch their own male son, favorably stretching their arms.
“World Son, please wait!” The steward leading the way respectfully moved a tai shi chair.
“No harm done!” Xin Zhuo waved his sleeves and sat down with a large horse, raising his head to once again survey this only three-generation direct male member of the Jiang Clan other than himself.
Martial realm fifth grade, appearance how to say, without this kind of family history, born in the ordinary rural small household, only afraid to find a daughter-in-law are difficult.
“Change position, another table! It can also be iterated!”
Jiang Yukui sweating, shouting, signaling the slaves to move the cart, struggling to lift a large table, and then to the “mountain of blocks” on the shelf.
Quite boring!
Xin Zhuo retracted his gaze, looked towards the slaves of Bong Xing Yuan who were not far away worrying about his son, turned back to the four girls and said: “Look at other people’s maids, and then look at you!”
The corners of Sai Qingzhu’s mouth slightly hooked, her eyes watching her nose. Yam and Sweet Potato grunted and looked away.
On the contrary, Bear’s Paw blinked and a pair of pointed ears twitched:“Shizi go up, we’ll follow you too!”
“That’s not necessary!” Xin Zhuo good-naturedly continued to watch.
Above, Jiang Yugui was busy for a while, finally finished, jumped down the wooden wheel ladder, looked at his masterpiece, satisfied and clapped his hands, only then remembered Xin Zhuo, turned back and was not polite, said in a general way of self-acquaintance: “How is it?”
Xin Zhuo pretended to carefully taste some: “Bull!”
“Cowardly? Ha, this word is good! Brother is an elegant man!”
Jiang Yukui recruited his men to similarly move chairs and sit with Xin Zhuo, shouted for a few more snacks, casually pinched a piece of osmanthus pastry and put it in his mouth, shook his head and vaguely said, “This craft is something that not many people can do in the entire capital city, except for me, I am ready to pass it on to my children and grandchildren, how does elder brother look at it?”
“Well, I think it’s okay!”
Xin Zhuo nodded, and asked again: “But are you sure …… this is fun?”
“Fun!” Jiang Yukui winked and handed over a piece of sugar crisp, seeing that Xin Zhuo didn’t want it, grinned: “Finding the balance, the average idiot can’t find it, it requires a sense of touch and brains, does elder brother have brains?”
