Yang Jinxi said, "We did not think of that, but we did not have the chance to negotiate, so what if North Dee descends to the south in the chaos? Both the left and the right are in a predicament, and you actually do not know what to do. "
Xu Mingwei laughed, "But these are not things we should worry about. If we can stand up on the sidelines and not let the North Dee break through, then it would be better for us to have some confidence. Maybe we can hold on this year too.
Yang Jinxi laughed, "Look at me, I'm heading up again. Or did you think things through thoroughly, Little Sister Mingwei? It shouldn't have been something that we were worried about. "
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, they changed the topic and followed the others to admire the flowers.
After everyone had left, Fu Heng and the rest came out from behind the boulder. While no one was looking, they quickly went out of the garden. Many of them were weak scholars, and usually, their movements were as slow as the wind. After running down this path, there were quite a few who were out of breath, unable to catch their breath for a long time.
Seeing how flustered they were, everyone just laughed at each other. In the end, someone sighed, "It's rare for a beauty of turbid times to be able to see the light of day, but I don't know who has the light of day and has seen a beauty?"
Qin Jianrui was not happy, and said: "Brother, be careful, the woman in the room is not your family or husband, she is not someone we can casually tease!"
His words made them feel embarrassed. The young duke had a startled look on his face at first, but after hearing Qin Jianrui's words, he calmed himself down and said, "Brother Wen Cai, you did it out of admiration, and did not have any rude intentions. However, if today's matter were to be overheard by others, it would still be ours after all, and it would also implicate a few of the female gongzis. Brother Yuanshan has really thought about it, let's not talk about it anymore. "
Although it was the same meaning, the young prefecture lord Ying Zixiao's words were much gentler. Everyone thought that this was also the reason, so they stopped and did not bring it up again. On the other hand, Fu Heng looked at Qin Jianrui and the young duke with a thoughtful look. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face.
After returning from the Yang family, Xu Mingwei went back to her daily life in the Kangping Courtyard, the academy, and the moon-nesting. Every time she paid her respects to the Old Lady Xu at the Kangping Courtyard, she hoped that the Old Lady Xu would give her some face, tell her about the matters outside, and tell her about the matters in the imperial court. When she entered the Old Lady Xu and became lazy, she would send them off early after paying her respects every day. Xu Mingwei did not even have the chance to find excuses to converse with them.
After ten days of this, Xu Tiangang finally managed to send a letter home. It turned out to be a dangerous situation as well. Just as Ming Shui town was counting the supplies, the farmers in Ming Shui town who lost their land in the neighboring counties heard that the censer had arrived and joined hands to make a ruckus. There were at least twenty to thirty thousand people on the scene. And at that time, Xu Tiangang had only brought less than a hundred of his personal guards.
Fortunately, Xu Tiangang had reacted quickly and said that counting all the provisions in the granary as if he was preparing to distribute the relief food according to the disaster booklet. There were still some who did not believe him and encouraged the others to create trouble, so he opened the granary on the spot and distributed the twenty kilograms of food per household according to the number of their heads.
At that time, Xu Tiangang had his trusted aides and trusted him to take note and see who amongst the farmers could incite the people's hearts and hearts, and they all made notes. Once all the farmers who came to make trouble had left, they would visit one after another, and if they had ulterior motives, they would be imprisoned.
From the few words on the letter, it could be seen that Mo Hen was extremely hasty. One could only imagine that Xu Tiangang had been extremely busy these past few days. The signature on the letter was from half a month ago. According to Xu Tiangang, if there were no accidents, they would have to wait until the end of October to return to the capital to report.
The haze that had hung over the Xu family for several months finally dispersed, dispersing the bright sun. Old Master Xu was ecstatic. He waved his hand and added a few dishes to each room on the same day, including a meal for the servants. Everyone smiled, feeling happy that the Great Master was coming home.
The Lady Helan was even busier as she cleaned up the courtyard and instructed the Nanny Xue to look at the girls. She took up the sunny weather to take out the bedding and the winter coats to bask in the sun, and was afraid that the girls would not do their best, causing the Nanny Xue to stare at them.
Nanny Xue laughed, "Please do not worry about that, after returning home for a long time, everyone knows that you are worried about your master, who would dare to be lazy and play tricks on you?"
These words made Lady Helan's face heat up. Seeing that, Xu Mingwei covered her mouth and laughed. had only been gone for a few months, and now she was already worried and worrying about her. It could be seen that the words that a woman said the most were wrong, and the words that a man said were exactly the same as the oath that a man made to the heavens, they couldn't even be true.
Lady Helan was laughed out loud by his wife and daughter, and chased them away, somewhat angry from embarrassment. Xu Mingwei found it more and more interesting, laughing as she walked out of the Lady Helan's courtyard, not caring if she was annoyed or not. Just as she was about to reach her destination, she suddenly saw a flustered look on Bi Tao's face. Xu Mingwei felt it was strange, and stopped him, "Bi Tao, where are you heading to?"
She then realized that it was Xu Mingwei and heaved a sigh of relief. After looking around and finding no one else, she ran over to her side and suppressed her voice, "Miss, come over quickly, something happened to Eldest Princess."
"What's going on? Slow down. " Seeing that the peaches were still in a state of shock, Xu Mingwei comforted them.
Initially, I thought that I was seeing things, but when that person turned around, he was the one who served the young lady in the palace, Big Sister Zhao Yang. When I looked again, it scared this servant's soul out of her body. Eldest Princess actually followed her out as well. " Peaches said in a low voice, her small hands patting her chest, but she still couldn't calm down.
"Did you go up and ask?" Xu Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that something was wrong with the Eldest Princess, but he was unable to explain himself.
"People are coming and going at the back door, this servant is afraid that it would be too eye-catching to talk to them like this, so I immediately ran back to find you." I reckon that he's still hanging around at our back door and hasn't gone far. " Bi Tao replied.
Xu Mingwei did not believe that the Eldest Princess would run away from the palace for no reason. She must have an urgent matter to be in a hurry to find him while avoiding all eyes and ears. "Hurry and go to my room. Find Wan Rong and let her take the package for Lady Wen. She will know what you mean. Do you hear me? "
Although Bi Tao did not understand Xu Mingwei's words, he still nodded his head and replied: "Yes, your servant will go right now."
Xu Mingwei let go of her and went to the outer court to find Tie Tou, saying that she wanted to make a trip to the Wang Family. During this period of time, she had been quite diligent in going to the Wang family. Tie Tou did not suspect anything and agreed readily. She got on the horse and rushed out the back door, before turning the corner and walking too far, hearing Xu Mingwei call for her to stop.
Tie Tou turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Miss, is there something wrong?"
Xu Mingwei looked at him seriously and asked, "I asked you, and you answered honestly. Today, we only went to the Wang Family, but didn't see anyone, and didn't go anywhere, right? "
At first, Tie Tou did not react. After being stunned for a moment, he finally understood what she meant, and replied seriously, "Like Miss said, Tie Tou only sent his to the Wang family. It's the same for everyone, and it's the same for the old gramps as well. There's nothing else to say, so don't worry young lady. "
Xu Mingwei was satisfied, "Wait a moment, there are still two more ladies on the carriage."
Tie Tou responded with his back facing the carriage, indicating that he did not have any intention of spying on them.
Xu Mingwei got off the carriage and waved to the corners of the pile of junk, and after a while, Zhao Yang brought Eldest Princess over, and while there were still no people around, she immediately followed Xu Mingwei's instructions and got in.
The wheels of the carriage continued to roll away. Tie Tou hesitated and asked, "Where does Miss want to go first?"
"Wang Clan." Xu Mingwei replied.
Only then did Tie Tou let go of the sports car with his whip. Hearing the cries of the hawkers coming from outside the carriage, Zhao Yang and Eldest Princess's faces finally calmed down a little. Xu Mingwei then asked in a deep voice, "How did you all get out of the palace?
The doubts in his heart from before were finally answered a little. Zhao Yang was originally one of the Empress's men. It was unknown whether the previous actions of bullying the Peaches and ignoring their master had been instigated by the Empress to test her.
"Just as Zhao Yang was about to say something, she was snatched away by the Eldest Princess," Royal father has already agreed to negotiate with North Dee, I'm afraid you already know about this, but there is one thing that you would never have thought of before.
Xu Mingwei exclaimed, "A marriage alliance?! "Who's going?"
Eldest Princess's face revealed a desolate look, "It was precisely because I found out that I followed Zhao Yang out of the palace."
"How could this be …" Xu Mingwei was startled, she thought to herself, as the empress, Eldest Princess is the only one left in this world with the flesh and blood of the empress, didn't Emperor Tiansun always say that she had deep feelings for the empress?
