Chapter 937 of Part One of Qingzhou: Night Owl Enters the House
Chapter 937 Night Owl Enters the House
After Xu Jiang left, Xia Xun lingered in the school martial arts field for a long time, then went to wash himself briefly, changed his clothes, and went around to the hall.【】
Several wives and concubines were chatting in the living room, talking about women's affairs and doing some business on the side.
The two newborn children were taking a nap, but several other children were already awake.
Xia Xun'er has a house full of daughters and is very productive, which makes others envious. For herself, it really adds endless fun to the family.
If there were only a group of adults, the couple would sit there and talk all they had to say over the years. But if there were children there, there would be endless topics to talk about. Half-grown children, infants...
The happiness of love, a pair of boys take a nap in the morning, the girl has been honest since she was a child, yawns and goes to bed after eating, rarely fussing, but the boy is not like this, holding the younger son. In his hand, he holds a baby wrapped with silk threads of various colors.
Once the ball was made, the little guy shook it, and the little guy used his hands and feet to hook the ball with all his strength, grabbing and grabbing. When he got tired, he lay there, staring at his big eyes, regained his strength a little, and immediately turned his arms and legs in the air, and continued
He struggled to grab the ball from his father's hand.
This kid has too much energy. If he doesn't use up all his energy, he will be like the devil of the world, babbling and tossing so hard that no one can even think about living in peace. Siyang and Sixun have already taken Huaiyuan out to play.
, Siyu and Siqi nestled next to Xia Xun.
After all, these two little girls are a few years younger than their two elder sisters. The two elder sisters are already sensible, and Yang Huaiyuan is too young, so they don't care much about the birth of their younger brothers and sisters. These two girls are not good at it. They usually don't bother much.
She loved her father, but when she saw that I doted on my younger brothers and sisters, I became jealous and insisted on staying with him to share my father's love.
So, Xia Xun had no choice but to coax his youngest son while telling stories to the two little girls, pretending to be a loving father. What Xia Xun was telling was the story "The Butcher and the Wolf". The story was not long, and Xia Xun couldn't stand it.
, the wolf was hooked up on the roux, he went on to talk about Brother Wolf coming for revenge, Brother Wolf died, Brother Wolf came again, the life and death of each wolf is different, and now he has talked about Grandma Wolf...
Ming'er was sitting on one side with her account book, raising her head from time to time to chat and joke with a few sisters. Suddenly, she glanced at the clepsydra with copper leaves and lotus flowers in the corner, and reminded Xia Xun: "Mr.
It's three o'clock, why don't you go and study?" g, put on his shoes, told his parents, and ran out to play with his sister. However, Xia Xun sat up cross-legged, coughed and said, "Madam,
Ladies, please stop what you are doing to speak for your husband!"
When Xia Xun said this, no matter they were embroidering flowers, hanging tents, or sewing clothes for children, they all stopped and looked at him. Ming'er said in a funny voice: "My husband, I have something to give you, so seriously."
, don’t scare the sisters!” After hearing this, the other girls also noticed that everyone looked nervous and laughed unconsciously.
Xia Xun said: "This... my husband has been working hard recently, and I think he is going to be imprisoned. With the current situation in the court, I am afraid I will go to jail."
As soon as Xia Xun said these words, the room became extremely quiet. The women were all breathing heavily, and their rapid breathing could be heard clearly. Zi Qi said in shock: "Master, please don't
Scared me, what happened?"
Ming'er also said anxiously: "Ms. sir, what news have you heard?"
Xia Xun waved his hands and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, why are everyone so restless?"
Having said that, no one was worried if something happened to the head of his family. All the wives and concubines gathered around him, with panic on their faces, as if he would never come back after leaving.
Xia Xun said: "This is just my guess, I can't be sure. I just understood some things, figured out the holy meaning, and made a rough inference. In fact, I have some expectations about this matter. Do you know why?
?Because...since the emperor came back this time, what he did has been unreasonable and traceable. I am completely confused. I don’t know what the emperor wants to do. That is the most dangerous thing. If my words come true, then
It proves that my guess is correct, in that way, I will naturally be able to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and be safe!"
Even with Xie Xie's astuteness, he couldn't help but frown after hearing Xia Xun's meaningless words: "What on earth are you talking about, sir? How come you're in jail, but you're fine? Why don't you go to jail, but you have to go to jail?"
Is something bad happening to us?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "No, if I don't go to jail, it proves that my guess is wrong. My guess is wrong, so it won't cause any trouble. But in that case, I'm afraid the prince will really fall.
If the prince falls, after the emperor has lived forever, and the king of Han ascends the throne, the disaster will inevitably happen to us. We can avoid it on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the fifteenth day. If it is true as I said, you really want to put me in jail... Hehe,
This scourge will be completely ended, and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Ming'er said anxiously: "Oh, there are no outsiders here, my husband, how can you be clever? Can't you just tell us straightforwardly?"
Before he could finish his words, Erluzi ran over in a hurry. When he reached the entrance of the hall, he shouted loudly: "Master, there are many guards in royal robes outside our house!"
"Seriously? Haha, it's true!"
Xia Xun clapped his hands and laughed, feeling very happy.
Although Ming'er and Xie Xie still didn't understand what kind of medicine Xia Xun was selling in this gourd, they secretly felt relieved when they saw his expression. Ming'er thought to herself: "Since my husband said that it is better to go to jail than not to go to jail, I think...
There should be a reason. My husband has his own plans. We just need to take good care of our family and don't let your husband worry about it."
Zi Qi, Su Ying, and Xiao Di could not have imagined this. When they heard that the Jin Yiwei had surrounded the Duke's Mansion, and that Xia Xun had just said that he was going to jail, they immediately became anxious and hurriedly surrounded them, all talking, luanluan
One after another, Zi Qi said: "Why is Ji Gang here? I have always been at odds with him, how can I be better off after being imprisoned?"
Xiaodi was like an ant on a hot pot, talking around: "What should I do? What should I do? Madam, why don't you go to the palace and ask for a favor from the Emperor? The Emperor loves the Empress very much, and the Madam is the Empress's most beloved younger sister. No.
Monk’s face, Buddha’s face…”
Su Ying said with murderous intent: "This is unreasonable! I have served the court and the emperor, I have been on the mountain of swords and under the sea of fire. I have been born and died many times, and I have no credit for my hard work. This emperor and the old man have put me in jail time and time again! We are rebelling.
Come on! It’s great to let him be the emperor. Let’s escape to the East China Sea and hide in the sea. What can he do to me?”
Xilin and Jeanne had tears in their eyes. Qiao Yun was already covering her mouth, tears falling down.
Xia Xun glared at Su Ying and said: "Nonsense! You don't think there are enough sluts, don't you? You all should settle down. Madam is in charge of everything in the house. You are not allowed to cause trouble for me. Have you forgotten what the master just said?
?”
Xia Xun walked out, stepped out of the door, turned around and said again: "You just know what I said to you just now, and you must not let it slip, otherwise, sir, I will seriously
There’s trouble!”
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he picked up his tui and walked to the front yard. All the ladies suddenly surrounded Ming'er and asked hurriedly: "Madam, what should I do?"
Ming'er was also confused and worried, but firstly she believed that her husband must have something to rely on after he said these words. Secondly, now that the husband had left, she had to hold up the house, and anyone could cry.
Everyone can cheat, but she can't cheat, so she pretends to be calm and said: "Didn't you all hear what the master said just now? Don't panic, just do what you have to do and live a peaceful life. I know what I'm talking about.
It’ll be okay.”
Seeing that all the ladies were still hesitant, he thanked her and said, "Sisters, don't be stunned. If my wife says it's okay, then of course it will be okay. Besides, the master just said something in advance. Think about it carefully. Unless our master catches people off guard, as long as he has something in advance
He is the only one who is careful and has always caused others to suffer losses. Who can cause him to suffer losses?"
Seeing that Zhi Duoxing said the same thing, all the ladies thought about it and realized that this was also the case, and their panic a little lessened.
Xia Xun was accompanied by the steward Er Lengzi. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw a man in a brocade robe and fish suit under the eight screens with magpies on the branches, wearing a wingless black gauze on his head, a long knife hanging under his ribs, and his hands behind his back.
Look at the pictures on the screen.
Xia Xun coughed lightly, and the man turned his head abruptly, and then turned around. He looked like an eagle and a wolf, and his eyes suddenly came into view. This man had a beard like a hedgehog, and his eyes were as sharp as cold lightning. He was the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Ji Gang. However, this ruthless man with a reputation of being so ruthless in Jinling City did not look ruthless when he saw Xia Xun. A smile immediately appeared on his face and he rushed towards him.
Ji Gang came forward with a smile. He took a step forward with his left tui, his left hand supporting his knee, his right hand drooping, his right tui facing down and half-kneeling. The whole movement was graceful and unrestrained, revealing a neat energy and showing his sincerity.
Relaxed and happy, he smiled and said: "Ji Gang pays my respects to the Duke!"
Saying hello was a Ming Dynasty military salute, commonly known as "bending one knee." Later, Manchurians waved their horseshoe sleeves, stepped forward, and saluted, which was the military salute of the Ming Dynasty that they followed.
However, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many occasions for "bending one knee". Apart from military camps, this salute could only be performed in private situations. In yamen and public places, it was necessary to perform the salute according to rank.
Or he had already kowtowed, but now Ji Gang met Xia Xun at Xia Xun's house. He bowed like this and felt a little closer to him.
Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh at his pretentious manner. This bastard who pretended not to be a grandpa or a grandson would have wanted to avoid him long ago when he saw him. It seemed that even saluting him would be a great humiliation. But now he
If you want to take yourself back, you will be extra respectful.
After all, this is his inferiority complex. Poor Ji Yan, there are almost no people in the capital who are not afraid of him. Who knew he was such a low self-esteem person in his heart? Since Ji Gang wants to play cat and mouse, Xia Xun will not follow.
He was polite, just nodded grandly, and asked: "Master Ji is always busy with official duties. Why are you here today?"
