Concubine like a house

Chapter 89
"The concubine is exactly what I mean. King Mu has a lot of confidants in the army, so he can send someone to monitor my son-in-law to see if he is making trouble. At that time, there will be no eyes on the battlefield. Whether he lives or dies is not up to us to decide."

Chuxiu has confidence in Shen Yu, and with his current spirit, he will not give up easily, let alone die easily.Especially Shen Yu himself is a doctor, he knows how to save himself.

Let Shen Yu join the army and lead the army?Nie Peixiao also began to think seriously.In a battle for the heir apparent with King Fu, Seventh Brother died several of his favorite generals, and now several trusted troops are directly obeying Seventh Brother's orders.However, Seventh Brother will ascend the throne sooner or later, and he will no longer be able to directly control the army as before, so he must find someone to do it for him.And as the king of the county, it is impossible for him to personally conquer every battle.

It is undeniable that there is a shortage of generals around Seventh Brother.In this case, finding another good will be imminent.Shen Yuzhi was once praised by his father, and Seventh Brother also wanted to enlist him in the army, but he was flatly rejected by the then old Marquis Wenchang.If Shen Yu can enter the confidant team in the future, Seventh Brother will be even more powerful, and there is no need to worry about being turned back by Shen Yu.Furthermore, don't say that Shen Yu only understands military affairs but not tactics, even if he can exercise power, can he still win Seventh Brother?In particular, the biggest advantage of Shen Yu's joining the army is that Seventh Brother will be praised by the world as "disregarding past suspicions and thirsting for talent"; Accused of "death in battle" on the charge, face is fair and aboveboard.

In this way, this is really a good idea. Not only will it ease the relationship between the Yun family and the seventh brother, but Mrs. Chuxiu will also owe me a favor... Nie Peixiao looked at Chuxiu with long eyes, and said: He didn't express his secret thoughts, but asked her: "If the king rejects Madam's request today, what should Madam do?"

Chuxiu thought that Nie Peixiao refused, which was also expected by her, so she lowered her clear eyes and said truthfully: "The concubine is going to visit Lord Zuoxiang Zhuangqin..."

Zuo Xiang Zhuang Qin, Brother Seven's father-in-law?Nie Peixiao's face darkened: "What if Master Zuo also refuses?" "I will go to ask Concubine Luan." Chuxiu thought that if Luan Su asked, King Mu would definitely agree, but he would also be annoyed that she used him Beloved.This would implicate the entire Yun family, so she would not go to Luan Su unless she had to.

Hearing the word "Concubine Luan", Nie Peixiao also became nervous, and immediately said: "My lord would like to advise Madam, don't think about Concubine Luan. Seventh Brother can endure the sword in the face, but this weakness, Madam I can't pinch it."

"I naturally understand this truth, otherwise I wouldn't come to ask you first." Chuxiu said frankly, "In this matter, Concubine Luan is the best choice, and you are the best choice."

"Madam won the prize, I am ashamed to be the king." Nie Peixiao didn't know whether to be happy or not after hearing this, and asked, "The first thing Madam thinks of is this king?"

"Exactly." The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent. After a long time, Nie Peixiao sighed slowly: "Madam, please go back. This matter should not be rushed quickly. This king will try his best."

After leaving Chengjun Prince's Mansion, Chuxiu heaved a sigh of relief.She knew that if Nie Peixiao stepped forward, the matter would be settled.So before she left, she left behind 20 taels of silver note, stating that 10 taels of it was given to Nie Peixiao, and at the same time, she asked him to help Shen Yu become an official; the other 10 taels , Chuxiu asked Nie Peixiao to transfer it to Shen Yu in his own name, only saying that it was "borrowing", not "giving".

After the incident, Chuxiu only felt comfortable physically and mentally. She didn't rush back to Liuyun Villa, but went to Yunxian's current residence.

The word "Xianyun Pavilion" should be changed by Yunxian himself, this garden was not called this name before.When I left Xiuxiu, I sent someone to inform Yunxian in advance, and when the carriage arrived, Yunxian was already waiting in front of the door.

"Sister-in-law." Yun Xian respectfully greeted Chuxiu and got off the car. "Third Master, long time no see." Chu Xiumei and Yun Xian were more polite, allowing him to lead them into the garden.After arriving at Yunxian's study room, Zhu Ying and the others retreated from Xiuxiu, and asked, "How is the third master in Jingzhou?" "Thanks to my sister-in-law, everything is fine." Said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for rescuing me this time regardless of previous suspicions." Probably because Shen Yu's matter was settled, Chuxiu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Third Master's words are serious." Yun Xian's eyes showed sadness: " Think about the evil things my mother did..." "It's all over, don't mention it." Chuxiu interrupted him at the right time, "The crime is not as good as the children, not to mention that you are still the flesh and blood of the old Hou Ye, and you are also the most important thing of the Hou Ye. brother." The past is over, the person who deserves retribution has already been punished, and she doesn't want to continue to hate any more.

While talking, a woman entered the room to serve tea.Chuxiu didn't pay attention at first, and waited for the tea-serving woman to walk in front of her, only to be dazzled by her rare white skin.Going out of Xiuxiu and looking sideways, it is Luanqing.

Ever since listening to King Mu talk about the whole story of Yun Xian's imprisonment, Chuxiu has already guessed who the brothel girl is.Even if Luanqing doesn't show up right now, Chuxiu still wants to ask about her.

"Miss Luanqing." Chuxiu greeted her first, and changed her address appropriately.Hearing Chuxiu address herself like this, Luanqing couldn't react in time, and bowed to salute after a while: "Ma'am."

She looked at Chuxiu, and found that time had not left traces on the other person's face, but added a more compelling brilliance, so she sincerely praised, "Your demeanor is even better than before."

"Aren't you the same?" Chuxiu smiled back.After the two women finished their courtesies with each other, Yun Xian spoke again, with a very firm tone: "I will tell my sister-in-law, this time I did it to save Luanqing..." "It's my fault." Luanqing didn't let Yunxian After finishing speaking, he rushed to Xiudao, "After I returned to Jiangdi, I couldn't forget the third master, so I decided to go to Jingzhou to find him. However, the third master avoided seeing me, so I sold myself to the brothel in a fit of anger. Get his attention..."

"In the end, the third master was still indifferent, so you came up with the trick of listing yourself and selling yourself, and put all your eggs in one basket?" Chuxiu finished the rest for Luanqing, "Unexpectedly, the third master didn't win the first place, but instead you attracted the second son of Ming Yes. You saw that it was self-defeating, and you thought you were good at poison, so you poisoned the second son of Ming when he became lustful?"

Luanqing nodded truthfully, and added: "I didn't know Ming Cui's background at the time...but I finally attracted the third master. The third master was afraid that I would be underestimated, so he rushed in to save me, but at that time Ming Cui had already I was poisoned to death. The third master thought that after the Dongchuang incident, I would definitely die, so he took the initiative to take the charge off, and made a few stab wounds to Ming Cui, extrapolating to the outside world that he killed me by mistake because of jealousy."

Hearing this, Chuxiu couldn't help but sigh.Luanqing was put to death and reborn, not only aroused Yunxian's sincerity as he wished, but also made him willing to take the blame for her... At this time, Yunxian's face was also full of guilt: "I really didn't know that he was the second son of the Ming family. Young master, I only thought that with our Yun family's confidence, we could at least pay some money... Unexpectedly, things got worse and worse..."

Yun Xian looked at Chuxiu while talking, and thanked again: "In the end, I relied on my sister-in-law to save me..." "You are the only remaining son of the old Hou, I can't see you making half a mistake, Mrs. Tai No." Chuxiu sighed again, "Your mother's matter, hatred returns to hatred, and anger returns to anger, but it is precisely because I am the head of the house that I should distinguish between gratitude and resentment." Hearing this, Yun Xian felt even more guilty. His face was moved again, and his words were a little more admirable: "Sister-in-law is magnanimous, not only helping me to save me, but also arranging a marriage for Mu Ge... Please accept my worship." Xiu hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, but she didn't know that the other party was extremely firm, she knelt down with a "plop", and called again: "Luanqing." Luanqing knelt down in response, and stood side by side with her, which seemed like a married couple.Yun Xian was upright, and said to Chuxiu: "Sister-in-law, don't stop me, you can afford this bow." After saying that, she kowtowed deeply, and Luanqing followed suit.Yun Xian kowtowed once, but didn't get up: "I have one more thing, I want to ask my sister-in-law to do it." When Chuxiu saw the two of them kneeling down together, he had already guessed what he was going to say, and as expected, he listened to Yun Xian again. :
"After being imprisoned this time, I have seen through many things. I have made up my mind to marry Luanqing... My eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I would like to ask you to preside over our marriage."

"Aren't you going back to Fangzhou to get married?" Chu Xiu blurted out.Yun Xian shook his head: "Because of my mother's affairs, my mother must hate me to the bone, and I don't want to go back...More Xiu can understand Yun Xian's meaning.Luanqing was not only his concubine, but also seven or eight years older than him... Although Luanqing is exotic and beautiful, they are a combination of "old wife and young husband", not to mention Luanqing is good at poison ... As Yun's headed mistress, Chuxiu actually does not agree with Yun Xian's choice, his marriage should be approved by Mrs. Tai, and marrying a wife of the right family should at least be well-known and well-educated; however, as Yun Xian's sister-in-law, Chuxiu, supports his decision and gives her deep blessings.

Chuxiu understands that only a combination based on true feelings can have no regrets.It is really rare for a child of such an orthodox family like Yun Xian to abandon worldly prejudices and bravely choose to be with Luan Qing.

For some reason, seeing these two kneeling side by side in front of him, Chuxiu wanted to cry.She reached out again to help the two of them up, and said impulsively: "Okay, I will officiate for you. Has the date been set yet?"

Both Yun Xian and Luan Qing were overjoyed, they looked at each other and said in unison, "Today." Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it, and it is today.

Chuxiu burst out laughing, and at this moment, she was also affected by the atmosphere, she temporarily took off the shackles of "Yun's headed mistress", and said with a smile: "Then we have to keep everything simple."

The marriage between Yun Xian and Luan Qing was very simple, they only pulled a few pieces of red silk to decorate the garden casually, the wedding dresses of the bride and groom were all bought on the spot, and the dragon, phoenix and red candles were not made to order, everything was ready soon.

In order to cater to the atmosphere, Chuxiu changed out of her white clothes for the first time, and wore a pink skirt.Since Yun Ci passed away, it was the first time for her to abandon white, but the moment she put on the pink skirt, she seemed to be suddenly relieved.Some people can miss it forever in their hearts, but remembering it in plain clothes is just a form.

The wife of Xiuxiu took the place of the mother and completed all the ceremonies, and she couldn't help crying in the end.In the eyes of others, she was weeping with joy, but only she knew who she was thinking of, and who she was thinking about... After the ceremony, Dan Xin and Zhu Yang sent the bride into the bridal chamber, and were about to have a lively banquet. Fan, but heard the report: "The king of Chengjun has arrived."

Nie Peixiao?What is he doing at this hour?And still come to find Yunxian?Chuxiu was wondering, but Yun Xian said in a loud voice: "It's a coincidence that King Chengjun came!" After saying that, he looked at Chuxiu and asked again, "Sister-in-law, do you think that if I invite King Chengjun to come as a matchmaker? proof, will he agree?"

Ask Nie Peixiao to be a matchmaker?Chuxiu thinks it is unlikely.Not to mention that Yun Xian is a concubine, and the marriage tonight did not conform to the etiquette and procedures of the wedding ceremony at all. Steps such as acceptance and alliance were skipped, and he just worshiped the heavens and the earth.Moreover, it was an unethical marriage.

Although Chuxiu made such a guess, he couldn't bear to dampen Yun Xian's interest, so he said perfunctorily, "Let Your Highness come in first before we talk about it."

Yun Xian nodded bluntly, and went to greet him outside the door together with Chuxiu.Nie Peixiao still came riding on a steed, and several followers behind him also rode.

Chu Xiu took the lead in saluting: "I have met Your Highness in person." At the same time, Yun Xian also saluted.Nie Peixiao got off the horse quickly, and caught a glimpse of Chuxiu changing into a pink dress, which looked extremely charming and charming under the light of the lantern.He couldn't move his eyes, but he still greeted the two of them first, and then asked with a smile, "Madam, did you change your clothes?"

Chuxiu thought this sentence was really funny, so she couldn't help smiling and replied: "You only saw that my concubine changed clothes, but didn't you notice that my third master is different today?"

Nie Peixiao looked at Yun Xian in response, looked up and down, only to find that he was wearing a wedding dress, and then raised her handsome eyebrows in puzzlement: "Third Master, this is... a wedding?"

Yun Xian replied with a respectful smile: "That's right. It's a coincidence that Your Highness is here." No wonder Mrs. Chuxiu changed her usual routine and wore such bright colors.Nie Peixiao was surprised in her heart, how could the third master get married so dignifiedly, instead of going back to Fangzhou and throwing a big feast, it happened so quietly?He thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence that the king is here, I want to ask for a wedding wine."

Yun Xian stretched out his hand to invite Nie Peixiao to step into the garden.He deliberately looked at the environment in the garden, and found that it was just a little decoration with colored silk, a few lanterns with the word "囍" in gold, and nothing else.

"Why did your Highness come here suddenly? But you have something to do with my third master?" Chuxiu's sweet, waxy and gentle voice came softly, making Nie Peixiao's heart itch, as if being scratched by a kitten, and she felt an unbearable comfort .

He did come to see Yunxian tonight, but he didn't expect Chuxiu to be there.When Chuxiu left Chengjun Wangfu this morning, he left behind 20 taels of silver notes. Nie Peixiao thought about it all day and felt that this money should not be accepted, otherwise not only would Chuxiu look down upon him, but he would also feel that he was not upright enough.What's more, although the amount of 20 taels is not small, it is not worth his bow. The real reason for him to help out of Xiuxiu is not for money.

But since Chuxiu had delivered the banknote, it would not be appropriate for him to return it, so he thought about it and decided to return the banknote through Yunxian's hand.He even thought of an excuse, and he only reasoned that he borrowed money from Yun's Bank on the way back to Jingzhou from Yanlan City, and now he has returned the principal with interest of 10 taels.As for the 10 taels that Chuxiu asked him to donate to Shen Yu, he will hand it over in full.

However, Nie Peixiao didn't expect that she would meet Yun Xian to "marry" when she interviewed Yun Xian tonight?After walking a few steps, Nie Peixiao's thoughts turned a few times, remembering that she asked him why he came out just now, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he joked: "Well... this king watched the stars at night, calculated Something important will happen in Xianyun Pavilion tonight, so I came here specially to have a look."

Chuxiu naturally didn't believe it, seeing that Nie Peixiao didn't want to tell the truth, she couldn't ask in detail.After all, there are some things between men that it is inconvenient for women to intervene.So she smiled knowingly, and followed Nie Peixiao's words: "It turns out that the 'king of the county' is just a cover-up. You are really a fairy who can count with your fingers!"

Nie Peixiao seldom heard such a cheerful tone from Chuxiu, and she felt very happy in her heart. She blurted out: "Tonight's protagonist is the bridegroom officer. Why is Madam holding on to the king?" Yun Xian asked with a smile, "Which family is the bride?"

As soon as the words came out, Chuxiu and Yunxian didn't make a sound immediately.Nie Peixiao secretly thought that it was terrible, since Yunxian chose to marry secretly in Jingzhou, and kept it so simple, the marriage must be opposed by Mrs. Tai, and the bride might not be a rich lady...Nie Peixiao suddenly remembered that Yunxian was going to prison I heard that he beat the second son of the Ming family to death because of a brothel girl... Could it be?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yun Xian replied quietly: "My wife is from the Jiang clan." A Jiang clan?Isn't that brothel woman a member of the Jiang tribe?etc!Ginger family!Nie Peixiao immediately stopped and stopped walking.

Just now Yun Xian was dizzy with excitement, but now seeing Nie Peixiao's face turned cloudy, she also stopped.But in an instant, he understood—the Ninth Prince Nie Peixiao is the number one hero in exterminating the Jiang Clan and recovering Jiang Land!Back then he went deep into Jiang to lead the army to fight, and when the two armies faced each other, he cut off the head of the leader of the Jiang clan with one sword... In this way, Nie Peixiao should be Luanqing's extermination enemy... Now the Jiang clan is rare, and they are scattered everywhere. It's a gift from the king of Chengcheng County!
