Chapter 117 Bamboo Basket Water 1

Xia Zhihan returned to Yihan Garden, and the wine worms in his body had moved faintly, but because his father was too strict, Xia Zhihan did not dare to do it again, so he had to put up with it.

Back to the room, Xia Zhihan only felt that his whole body was itchy, but when he thought of Xia Chuanyuan's strict appearance, he did not dare to sit on the chair with a crooked idea.

A slave brought the tea. Xia Zhihan took a sip and crossed his legs and said, "I just came back from the barracks, and I don't know the specific situation in our house now. Well, just tell me about it. If you say it, I will be rewarded."

With that, Xia Zhihan took out an ingot of silver from his arms and put it on the table.

The slave was originally a handyman in the house. There are only a few hundred copper coins a month. It was the first time I saw such a big silver ingot. I couldn't help staring straight and drooling.

"The young master can ask, and the young one must say everything he knows."

Xia Zhihan smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Then you can talk about Miss San first."

When the slave heard Xia Zhihan's question, he couldn't help but beat his heart. The old lady and young lady were sent out of the house. Although it was good on the surface, everyone secretly knew that it had nothing to do with the third lady. Now the third lady was given marriage by the emperor, and her status was unlimited. On the contrary, the young master was demoted and cut off. Job, stay at home. Thinking of this, the slave remembered the bag of silver that night. Finally, he was cruel and said with a cruel smile, "Young master, you really know how to ask. This third lady is now a red man in the house. She was married by the emperor to the son of the Western King, and he also got a lot of rewards from the emperor."

Hearing this, Xia Zhihan paused slightly in his heart, "Do you have a marriage contract with the son of the king of Dingxi?"

Seeing the slave nodding, Xia Zhihan felt uncomfortable for a while. His sister was really powerful. It seemed that this was also the main reason why his father favored their mother and daughter.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan couldn't help frowning. The slave saw it, turned his eyes and said, "Young master, I don't know whether to say a sentence?"

Xia Zhihan said 'Oh' and said, "But it's okay to say it."

The slave smiled and said, "I just saw that although the third lady gave the marriage to the prince, she was not so powerful. The young master, think, although the prince is spoiled, the most likely to inherit the throne is the prince. A few days ago, I heard that the prince came to the house to discuss with the master in our house. The matter of the young lady's marriage..."

Xia Zhihan listened and nodded with agreement, "What you said is also a little reasonable."

When the slave saw Xia Zhihan agree with his point of view, he narrowed his eyes with a smile and said more and more flatteringly, "Young master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now the young master is despised by them, and he doesn't even like you with the master. But think about it, if you turn to the prince's door, in the future Who else in this house dares to look down on you?

Xia Zhihan's puffy eyes burst out a strong desire. Yes, he is the eldest son in the house. He should stand above them and enjoy the glory and wealth. He is by no means ridiculed as he is now.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan looked at the slave and said, "But how can I recommend myself to the prince? Xia Mengning married the prince. The prince will definitely think that I am also with the prince.

The slave smiled and said to himself that this young master was really a heartless man, but he couldn't say so. After thinking about it, he said, "Young master, why do you forget? You also have a sister. If you can take the young lady back and let the prince marry the young lady, not only big From then on, the young lady will change the fate that has been in the temple. Even you have become the prince's brother-in-law. At that time, who dares to despise you?

Xia Zhihan suddenly smiled. Indeed, although his sister is not very smart, she has a beautiful face. The prince is also a man. He doesn't believe that he uses some tricks. Can she succeed?

When looking at the man underground again, Xia Zhihan narrowed his eyes and threw the silver ingot in his hand. The slave hurriedly reached out to catch it. Xia Zhihan said, "What's your name?"

The slave nodded hurriedly: "The people in the house are called slaves Xiaoshun."

Xia Zhihan nodded, "In this way, from today on, you will be my personal attendant, according to the first-class slave's moon silver."

Xiaoshun was overjoyed and didn't expect that he would be favored by the young master. Although this young master is not favored now, at least he is also the eldest son. If he can follow him, it must be an endless benefit in the future.

Do you think of this? Xiaoshun hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. "Xiaoshun would like to thank the young master for his appreciation. He will definitely follow the young master to the death in the future."

Everyone will say these vows, but Xia Zhihan is very useful. He waved his hand and said, "Get up."

Xiaoshun stood up and came forward to fill Xia Zhihan with tea. Xia Zhihan squinted and thought for a while and said, "I'm going out in the afternoon. If the master comes here to find me, you know what to do."

Xiaoshun turned his eyes and said with a smile, "If you know what the young master wants to do, just do it. Xiao will naturally help you."

Seeing that Xiao Shun said this, Xia Zhihan nodded with a smile.

The Duke's Mansion of Zhen was completely ruined. Xia Chuanyuan thought about it again and again. In order to show his heartfeltness to the emperor, he finally decided to write a letter and retired Fang.

When Xia Zhihan rushed to the hermitage on the outskirts of Beijing, he saw Fang's face decadent with Xiu Shu. Xia Mengxi saw Xia Zhihan. A pale face had some vitality. He came over and cried, "Brother, you are finally back."

Xia Zhihan nodded and walked over and said, "Mother, the child is back."

Fang raised her head. The toxicity of the snake beauty had made her crazy, but in this nunnery, there was no extra money to let herself buy this snake beauty. In this way, Fang's face was already thin, and the muscles on both sides of her cheeks were deeply swelled.

Seeing his eldest son, Fang's turbid eyes were a little bright, "Han'er, you finally came back. Were your uncle and grandfather's family really beheaded by the emperor?"

Xia Zhihan nodded and saw that his mother, who had always loved to dress up, had now become a ghostless look. He was also uncomfortable. He held Fang's hand and said, "My grandfather's family colluded with the people of the Western Regions, and the letters were found by the emperor. Three days later, at noon, he beheaded at the execution ground."

A little tears flowed from Fang's eyes. Compared with being retired, this blow made her even more painful. "How come, how come? Why did you collude with the people of the Western Regions? The crime of treason is to behead..."

Xia Zhihan sighed, "Mother, fortunately it didn't involve us, otherwise, we would have no lives."

When Fang Shi heard this, she immediately changed her appearance, "Han'er, that's your grandfather and uncle. How can you have such an idea, you..."

Xia Zhi's face was cold and said, "Mother, don't say such words anymore. The child is fighting with the Western Regions on the front line. His own grandfather and uncle only care about his own interests. Mother knows that the child is nothing now. Because of the defeat, the child was demoted by the emperor and sent back to the capital."

Hearing this, Xia Mengxi immediately exclaimed, "How come, brother, have you been demoted?"

Fang Shi also didn't believe it. When Xia Zhihan saw their expressions, he was also ashamed and said, "It's true, so mother, don't think that we didn't save our grandfathers and uncles, but that they didn't care about us first. What's more, the child has found out clearly that the snake beauty used by his mother at that time was that side. The concubine bought the little girl next to her grandmother and gave it to her mother. They are not kind. Now everything is retribution.

Fang Shi was hoarse and didn't know what to say. He had already expected his eldest son to come back, so he could regain his power and return home. Unexpectedly, he had become like this now. The power of his mother's family was gone, and the only son he could count on also become like this.

Thinking of this, Fang Shi looked down at the book in his hand. Thousands of sour emotions surged up in his heart, and he only felt that life was hopeless.

Xia Zhihan looked at Fang's appearance and couldn't bear it. He said, "Mother, don't worry. The child has already thought of a countermeasure. Now we must first take back the power, and then treat the stinky girl Xia Mengning fiercely to avenge her mother and sister."

Looking at Xia Zhihan's confident appearance, Fang Shi was also infected and hurriedly asked, "Han'er, what good countermeasures do you have?"

Xia Zhihan raised his head, looked at Xia Mengxi standing aside, and said with a smile, "The prince is going to choose a young lady from our house as a side concubine. Mother, what do you think of your sister?"

Fang was stunned and immediately smiled and said, "That's natural. Xi'ersheng's beauty. If you can be the upper concubine, you will definitely get the help of the prince. At that time, let's see who dares to look down on our mother and son."

After Xia Mengxi went through these things, she was no longer a simple character in the past. Now she has already thought about the mystery before it happened. Now after listening to Xia Zhihan's words, Xia Mengxi did not follow the Fang family. She just thought quietly for a while and said, "Brother, what exactly is the matter? Tell me. Listen to it."

Xia Zhihan looked at his sister's expression. It was a little unnatural. The prince just said that he wanted to get married and didn't identify his sister, but he couldn't tell the root of the matter. Otherwise, his sister would never marry the prince's house.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan said, "What else can be specific? The prince wants to marry our house. As a big brother, he naturally thinks of you, sister. Are you willing to stay in this dilapidated temple all your life?"

Hearing this, Xia Mengxi's anger in his heart was also raised. For many days and nights, he couldn't wait to go back to his house to unload Xia Mengning and raise his bones. But how could he go back? His father had forgotten himself. Now his mother has also been abandoned. Now he has such a good opportunity, how can he give up?

Thinking of this, Xia Mengxi smiled, unnaturally stretched out his hand to straighten his hair, and said eagerly, "Big brother, can I still attract the prince as I look now?"

Xia Zhihan breathed a sigh of relief, "Naturally, my sister's sunken fish and falling geese are all good-looking. In this way, I will ask someone to bring some new silk and rouge gouache in the afternoon. You have to dress up well and wait to marry the prince in the future."

Seeing that his eldest brother said so confidently, Xia Mengxi's remaining doubts were also dispelled. He took Fang's arm happily and looked happy.

Xia Zhihan stood up and said, "I'll go back first. There are still a lot of things to prepare."

Fang nodded, "Go ahead, be careful."

Xia Zhihan walked out of the hermitage, but Fang struggled to sit up from the stool, picked up the wooden fish and knelt in front of the Buddha, and knocked it gently. Xia Mengxi asked, "Mother, you are..."

Fang Shi sighed, "I'm praying to the Buddha that we must succeed this time."
