Chapter 69 Persuasion
Besides, He Yijian happily returned to the Xiuzhengfang and entered the second door before thinking about it and asking, "How did Miao Niang get hurt?"
Xiahou Fubai said briefly, "She fell downstairs."
"Oh? When did she become so weak? He Yi smiled briefly, "Is that Xue? But didn't I tell Miao Niang to go away? Although the tone didn't care, it revealed a trace of anger. I don't know whether it was because of Miao Niang's disobedence or because Xue's injury to her men.
"She was worried that Liulang would be injured in the chaos, so she turned back. As a result, Liulang had already taken your master into the secret road, and the building was full of smoke. Miao Niang mistakenly fought with Xue and was knocked down into the courtyard by Xue." Xiahou Fubai narrated indifferently.
Is the so-called smoke-rich misunderstanding a little true, or was Miao Niang trying to attack Xue because of jealousy and was injured by her? She was a maid who served He Yijian when she grew up. Her temperament was naturally bright in her heart and smiled carelessly and said, "This Xue has a few points."
"Miao Niang lost to her as a matter of course. Mrs. Xue in red was in Chang'an more than ten years ago, and her reputation was no less than today's Cui Fengwu." Xiahou Fubai couldn't help saying, "Xue's wife is not only good at skills, but also very shrewd - Du Qingtang, who was much older, had suffered her losses at the beginning. Today's matter can't be hidden from your master and can't be hidden from her."
"It's nothing. Just as everyone knows that the three towns in Hebei are like princes, but as long as we still proud of being a dream of Tangchen, they can only say the same in private. It's no good to tear their faces." He Yijian smiled and said, "You seem to know Xue well?"
Xiahou said lightly, "She and Qiu Sixiniang are old acquaintances. When Liulang and your master didn't go to the front hall, Sixteen Niang talked to her about the past, and someone had heard of her name when she went to Chang'an. Of course, someone had never seen her at that time."
"It seems that Xiahou's arrival in Chang'an was almost 20 years ago, right?" He Yi asked with great interest, "Ahuang seems to trust her very much. He doesn't look like your master in front of her, but a little like his daughter."
"She was raised by the Guo family."
He Yijian suddenly understood, and he said thoughtfully, "So it is!"
After the Guo family was killed on the charge of collusion with the Xichuan jiedushi, Xue, as one of the old departments of the Guo family, was also involved. All adult men were executed, and the underage children were exiled to the distant and poor Minnan. Those people no longer had the opportunity to return to Chang'an, let alone most of them died on the road. On the way. Mrs. Xue, who used to be a Wang clan, is now the only one in Chang'an.
A maid with a silver red bottom and white auspicious pattern cross-collar spring shirt greeted her and bowed to salute: "Liulang, if you have a letter arrived, Dalang will ask Liulang to come back immediately."
"Oh? Does the adult return the letter? He Yi said happily, "I don't know if he has made it clear to the Li family?" He remembered Yuanxiu's disdainful eyes when he accused himself of causing Hebei to complain to Chang'an. His eyes darkened and he walked to the place where He Huainian was cultivated.
When he entered the door and saw Shi Ruyi sitting in a green shirt, He Yijian guessed the content of He Zhifang's reply. He immediately frowned and reluctantly greeted He Huainian: "How is your eldest brother's injury?"
"Thank you for your concern. It's no big deal." He Huainian was inconvenient to move because of his injury, so he was still half lying on the couch. Seeing Xiahou Fubai accompanying He Yijian in, he ordered Biqi, who served at the end of the couch, "Pring cheese for Liulang."
"Don't rush to drink cheese, I'm not thirsty." He Yijian sat down at the corner of his robe and asked, "Where's the elder's letter?"
Shi Ruyi silently handed it over from the opposite side. He Yijian glanced at it twice, snorted, and said to himself, "Pen and ink!"
There were no other slaves in the room at this time, only He Huainian's Aiji Biqiong serving tea. Hearing this, she subconsciously looked at He Huainian. He Huainian waved his hand to her: "You go out first. If you have something to say to Liulang."
Biqi was unwilling, but she knew that there would be no good end for He Huainian at this moment, so she was soft and promised to retreat in a charming voice. When she left, He Huainian frowned and said, "Rulang, do you really want Shangzhu?"
"This is natural." He Yi said briefly, "Why doesn't the eldest brother agree?"
"Liulang, the three towns in Hebei have always advanced and retreated together, connected by marriage. This is the reason why the three towns can be different from other vassal towns, and even Chang'an dare not neglect them." Shi Ruyi persuaded anxiously, "Princess Yuanxiu is beautiful, but how many beautiful people are there in the world? You have high hopes for Liulang. How can Liulang ignore a woman?
He Yijian sneered and said, "What? Does the adult have high hopes for me to marry the 17th mother of the Li family?
"Rokuro!" Shi Ruyi shouted and listened to He Yijian say coldly, "The three towns are each other's horns, and they grow up with peace of mind. Mr. Shi has told me many times. Is it possible that the two towns of Chengde and Lu Long don't know? Wei Bo can't make a gap with the two towns. Do they dare to push Wei Bo to Chang'an? I'm Shangzhu, and I'm not a son-in-married man. Do I have to see the eyes of the other two towns when I marry a wife? That's ridiculous!"
He Huainian winked at the teacher, ordered him to stop, and coughed dryly, "The so-called fair lady, a gentleman is good. The sixth brother fell in love with Princess Yuanxiu at first sight. As your identity, it was nothing, but the sixth brother has been in Chang'an for many days. Don't you even know the habits of Princess Tang?"
As a counselor, Shi Ruyi reacted naturally and quickly. When he heard the words, he immediately turned his mind and lost no time to say: "During this period, the city has been discussing the favor of Princess Pingjin, the eldest sister of Yuanxiu, and contempt for the son-in-law of Princess Yuanxiu. I heard that Princess Yuanxiu and Pingjin are very close to what kind of person Liulang is. Even if it's your lord, let it go like this. How can he be worthy of Liulang?" He already knew the reason why He Yijian hurried out today and reminded him, "Where is Liulang going to see your master today?"
"Pingjin is Pingjin, not Ahuang!" He Yijian didn't think so. In just half a day, he got used to Yuanxiu's name, which made He Huainian and his teacher be shocked. "Besides, she was mostly seduced by the tricks of Qiu Sixteen Niang. This is also that Sixteen Niang wants to earn benefits. She is young and has always been raised in the deep palace and doesn't understand these tricks outside. Fraud is also inevitable.
He Huainian's face twitched: "Sixth brother, your master hasn't had time yet, but there should be few reasonable elders around you to remind you, right? If it weren't for your own will, how would these people let your lord step into such a dirty place as Pingkang Square?
