After I became a widow

In a tea house in Kyoto, the storyteller on the stage was talking endlessly about the most popular event in Kyoto recently, the King Huai's campaign against Beiyi.

Someone in the audience clicked their tongues in disdain, and then greeted the people sitting with him, "Hey, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?" As long as there is such a beginning, someone will answer the question immediately.

"Of course it's about Duke Huai. It is said that His Highness Duke Huai actually returned to Beijing a long time ago, so it wasn't that those adults from the imperial court went out of the city to pick him up."

"What's the matter? Since Duke Huai has returned to the capital long ago, how come you haven't shown up all this time? At that time, everyone had rumored that he was dead."

"Heh," the person at the beginning sneered, took a sip of his wine and said, "Why else, it's easy to kill people, you don't know, those who said they were killed by the ghost of King Huai were all killed by him."

These words confused the listeners, "Duke Huai is alive and well, where did the ghost come from?"

"The ghost is a misunderstanding, but it's actually because those people gossiped about Princess Huai. Princess Huai is narrow-minded, so she sent a letter to Duke Huai, asking him to secretly teach those who gossiped about him. Unexpectedly, Duke Huai is a cruel and merciless person." Yes, they were all killed."

Those who listened seemed to understand, and concluded, "Only Princess Huai would marry if she knew that King Huai was alive. Then, one of these two people is narrow-minded, and the other kills without blinking an eye."

Satisfied with the conclusion, the initiator said, "Exactly."

"So, it may not be a good thing that Duke Huai came back. He said that the officials who died before he returned to the capital were collaborating with the enemy, but who knows if they offended Duke Huai, so their families were ransacked and exterminated."

Those who heard these words couldn't help but shuddered, and said cautiously: "This... this is too cruel."

The people at the beginning just laughed and said nothing, but the people around who listened to the excitement reached a consensus, but you must not offend Duke Huai, or you will die.

Instead, he called his superiors eloquently boasting about how bravely Duke Huai said that Mr. Shu had become a joke.

……

As expected, within a few days of Xiao Yunyi's harsh words, rumors began to circulate that Xiao Beihuai became a blue face in a rage and killed innocent people indiscriminately.

It was also a coincidence that Su Jingqing came back home with him for the second time.

Yes, after worshiping the church for the second time, the door will naturally go back for the second time.

Today falls on the seventh day, Su Jingqing woke up early, and asked Xiao Beihuai to accompany him to buy mung bean cakes, and then walk around the street before returning to Su's house.

After buying mung bean cakes and tired from walking, I casually went into the teahouse to have a rest, and then I heard such a conversation.

It's really interesting.

Su Jingqing handed over half a piece of mung bean cake to Xiao Beihuai, "Since you can't get rid of the reputation of killing people, I have pity on you."

Xiao Beihuai took it, "Thank you, Princess."

"Did you hear what they meant?"

"Huh?" Su Jingqing took a sip of tea and looked at him.

Mung bean cake is a perfect match with this Maojian, sweet and fragrant, and appetizing.

Xiao Beihuai said: "They say that the king and the concubine are deeply in love, and that the king quietly sneaked back to Beijing just to kill a few people who had gossiped about the concubine."

"This feeling is really touching."

Xiao Beihuai looked like he was moved.

Su Jingqing: "..."

If you think about it carefully, you can really get some meaning out of it.

Xiao Beihuai added: "Furthermore, Xiao Yunyi sent people to spread these words. Alas, if he didn't say it, this king didn't even realize that this king has such deep affection for the princess."

"In another day, let's make a backup gift for him, thank him for his generous withdrawal, and fulfill his brother and sister-in-law."

Su Jingqing: "...Don't say it, it really makes sense," Xiao Beihuai's explanation made him almost believe it.

The corners of Xiao Beihuai's eyes were tainted with a smile, his princess was very clever when she was diligent and diligent, but if she was lazy, she would believe everything she said to someone she trusted.

It's really coaxing and cute.

Having been bored at home for two or three days, Xiao Beihuai had almost figured out the temperament of his concubine.

Seeing that Su Jingqing was about to take another piece of mung bean cake after eating one, Xiao Beihuai grabbed his hand and asked Mo Yan for a handkerchief.

Mo Yan touched his nose, he was a guard, how could there be such a thing.

In the end, I wanted Xiangyu to hand it over, and Xiao Beihuai wiped Su Jingqing's hands, "It's time for lunch when I get home later, and my mother must have cooked your favorite dishes herself, so you must eat more."

The action of wiping hands is very natural, and the mother's voice is also very smooth.

When returning the handkerchief to Xiang Yu, he asked Mo Yan to follow suit.

An excellent bodyguard is naturally what the master needs, and what can be taken out of him.

Mo Yan nodded yes, and was very puzzled. The prince got married, so why did he have to learn more.

Su Jingqing has always been used to being served, and he didn't take Xiao Beihuai's dignified King Huai, the eldest son of the current emperor, to wipe his hands for him at all. He only felt a little regretful that he didn't enjoy the mung bean cake.

This regret lasted only to the doorstep.

The carriage stopped at the door of Su's house, and then they saw Xiao Yunyi handing Su Mingyan a post, then they gave this side a hard look, and under Su Mingyan's urging, they left with anger.

Su Jingqing was a little curious about this, "Why is he so angry all the time, could it be that Concubine Zhong Guifei ate firecrackers when she was pregnant with him?"

Xiao Beihuai thought this was a very interesting description, and said, "Ask him next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mingyan happily jumped over, "Brother, lord."

He waved at Su Jingqing, "Brother, come down quickly, I have something good for you again."

When Su Jingqing got out of the carriage, he put a stack of bank notes in his hand, "Brother, His Royal Highness Yi Wang just gave it to you, please keep it."

Su Jingqing glanced at Xiangyu, and Xiangyu stepped forward to take the bank note away.

Su Jingqing asked Su Mingyan, "What did he give you the banknote for?"

And he just saw that what Xiao Yunyi handed over was obviously a post.

Mentioning this, Su Mingyan crossed his face, his still white and round face was full of puzzlement and grievance, he showed Su Jingqing the post that Xiao Yunyi had given himself, "Brother, His Royal Highness Yi Wang seems to have lost his mind, saying that Concubine Zhong Gui is too late." The day is going to hold a banquet for him to choose a concubine for him, he asked me to go too, and asked me to be his concubine."

Su Jingqing's face turned cold instantly, Xiao Yunyi dared to directly tell his younger brother to be his concubine, courting death!

Xiao Beihuai was listening by the side, seeing that his princess was upset, he patted Su Jingqing's arm, "Don't be angry, he won't succeed."

Then he asked Su Mingyan, "How did he tell you?"

Su Mingyan cleared his throat and imitated Xiao Yunyi's tone, and repeated what Xiao Yunyi said to himself, "A Yan, you know what this king thinks, and I only have you in my heart, but you are a man, and the Su family can't help you now. This king, so this king has no choice but to marry a woman who can be my king's helper as the princess."

"This is a post from the Qunfang Banquet. You must come when the time comes. The king will ask the concubine to point you to me as a concubine, but don't worry, the king will not treat you badly. In the future... the king will seal you As a side concubine, this king only loves you."

After Su Jingqing finished speaking, he spread his hands, "That's what I said."

"I don't like men. I refused when he said he wanted to marry me. Now he still wants me to be his concubine. I have to continue the incense for our Su family. Who wants to be his concubine!"

Xiao Beihuai looked at Su Mingyan, then at Su Jingqing, and asked him, "Does younger brother know that second child likes him?"

Su Jingqing asked back: "Ah Yan doesn't like Xiao Yunyi, why does he want to know what a fool is thinking?"

Xiao Beihuai touched his chin with a smile, "It makes sense."

"What about the bank note?" Su Jingqing asked again.

"Oh, this," Su Mingyan explained: "His Royal Highness Yi gave it to me when he came, and then he told me about being a concubine and a post."

"He coveted me and wanted me to be his concubine. I was a little angry, so I didn't want to return the silver ticket to him."

Su Mingyan was still a little regretful, "If I had known that he was so mean-spirited, I should have asked for more bank notes."

Su Jingqing: "..."

Xiao Beihuai had nothing else to say, he could only say, "My brother is a capable person."

Su Jingqing thought to himself, doesn't he know this yet?

Su Mingyan didn't hear any implication at all, only took Xiao Yunyi's words as a compliment, and happily said: "Thank you, my lord, my father said that I was smart since I was a child, only a little worse than my elder brother."

Xiao Beihuai thought, luckily it was a little short, otherwise what would have happened.

"What are you doing standing at the door? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and our house doesn't lack doorkeepers, so we don't need you."

Before I finished talking here, Father Su's loud voice came from the door.

After shouting, he came forward again, bowed to Xiao Beihuai, and then taught Su Jingqing, "When the prince came, he didn't lead people in earlier, and let people stand outside to blow the cold wind."

After finishing speaking, he went to look at his second son, "And you, you said you came out to pick up people, but you ended up picking yourself up too."

Su Mingyan touched his head, showing a suddenly realized expression, "Oh, I just said that I seem to have forgotten something, so I came out to pick up my eldest brother."

Su Jingqing: "..."

Father Su: "..."

Unlucky boy.

Father Su carried Su Mingyan in by the collar, looked back at Xiao Beihuai, and after making sure he couldn't hear him, he said to Su Mingyan, "Didn't I tell you not to casually reveal that you are very smart?"

Su Mingyan retorted, "But elder brother and prince are not outsiders."

"Besides, the elder brother and the prince are smart people, and I am far behind them."

Su's father slapped Su Mingyan's head twice, "You're talking nonsense, that's all, go and tell your mother, we're here, let's have dinner."

Su Mingyan ran away, Su's father stood on the spot and waited for Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai, and when they approached, he cupped his hands and said to Xiao Beihuai, "I made the prince laugh."

Xiao Beihuai said: "Father doesn't have to be like this, brother Ayan is very straightforward and cute."

Su Jingqing also said: "Father, we are all a family, it's fine."

Su's father didn't notice any abnormality from Xiao Beihuai, and seeing that the eldest son didn't express any dissatisfaction, he was relieved.

Among other things, the eldest son is very defensive, if King Huai thinks A Yan is stupid in his heart, the eldest son will definitely get angry.

Since there was no response, it meant that Duke Huai didn't mean it, and Su's father had a better impression of this eldest son-in-law.

When it comes time to eat, the impression is even better.

Father Su made the best use of what he had, and asked his hard-trained Eighteen Arhats to come up and perform for Xiao Beihuai. Father Su thought, it was just a food help, an appetizer.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Beihuai read it carefully, and even pointed out some questions, and asked his personal guards to point out the eighteen arhat formations of the Su family's servants.

His Royal Highness Duke Huai was immediately introduced as a confidant by Su's father.

After eating, Su's father dragged him to read all kinds of martial arts cheats that he exchanged for sesame oil money from the temple.

Su Jingqing had nothing to say. It was not easy for his father to find a confidant. I hope the prince can last longer.

Then he followed Mrs. Sun and the others to watch the people in Mo Yan's training mansion together.

Not to mention, Mo Yan is worthy of being Xiao Beihuai's bodyguard, and he has also been on the battlefield. After a few adjustments, the jokey Eighteen Arhats formation really has a lot more momentum.

Citing Siyan is eager to try and wants to challenge.

Su Jingqing looked at her eagerly and nodded, "Go."

Here, Mrs. Sun also told Su Jingqing about something, "Yesterday your cousin came and said she wanted to be a matchmaker for Ah Yan."

The cousin that the Sun family referred to was the wife of Su Jingqing's eldest cousin of the Sun family.

Su Jingqing thought of Xiao Yunyi's plan, his eyes darkened, and he asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Mrs. Sun laughed, but it was just a sneer, "Her natal family, her direct sister."

Su Jingqing also sneered, "Then I'm afraid we won't be good enough."

The current head of the Liu family, Liu Yuanhui, was only a fifth-rank official in the past. Because he climbed aboard the Zhong family's big boat to serve Xiao Yunyi, he was promoted step by step, and now he is the third-rank left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Since becoming the third rank, the Liu family can't hold many people in their eyes, and the Su family who used to come and go around during the holidays is also hard to get in the eyes.

In the past, Mrs. Liu said that she wanted to give Su Mingyan her daughter-in-law, but there was no response from the Su family, but there was news that Liu Yuanhui had been promoted.

So Mrs. Liu immediately changed her words, saying that the marriage was a joke, and the second lady of the Liu family even came over to ridicule Su Mingyan, saying that Su Mingyan was stupid, and that she was the daughter of a dignified third-rank official. I won't marry a fool from a poor Hou's family.

He was directly thrown out by Su's father with a stick, and the two sides have not communicated since then, and the Sun family even got into trouble with his natal family because of this.

Because the Sun family also thinks that the third-rank officials are more useful than the Luobahoufu, and they are more worthy of fawning, especially because the Liu family is backed by King Yi.

"Didn't you say that the second lady of the Liu family had already engaged, why did you think of our Luopohou Mansion again?" Su Jingqing asked.

Sun said: "What else can I do? Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice."

"The Liu family wanted their daughter to marry the eldest son of the Zhong family, but the Zhong family didn't like it and would only give her the position of a noble concubine. Naturally, the Liu family also refused, so they set their eyes on the eldest son of the Zhong family's second wife, but Unexpectedly, the mud in the second room of the Zhong family cannot support the wall, the eldest son is a sick child, and the second son is an ignorant person who spends all day in Hualou and gambling shops."

"Miss Liu's second wife didn't want to marry a sick child, so she finally appointed the second son of the Zhong family's second wife, but before the appointment was made, the second son of the Zhong family took him as his own. She was also beaten up by the second lady of the Liu family, neither of them wanted to suffer, but they were afraid of losing face if it spread, so they settled the matter in private, and the marriage naturally failed."

After such a commotion, Miss Liu's reputation is not as good as before, and it is impossible to marry high.

"As for why you fell in love with our family again, who made you, the eldest brother, marry a good family? The Liu family offended the Zhong family and wanted to change boats. It happened to marry us, a poor family, hoping to be in the eyes of Duke Huai. "

Su Jingqing thought that he was indeed a high-married woman, and understood.

It's just, "There is nothing in our Su family that we can marry in just by marrying, not to mention that I, as Princess Huai, can carry the sedan chair for the Su family."

Su Jingqing didn't care about changing the ship, but if the Liu family wanted to deliver it to the Su family, then the previous account had to be settled first.

Su Jingqing told Sun, "What a coincidence, Xiao Yunyi is also thinking about letting our Ayan be his concubine."

"Mom, do you think it's okay for a dog to bite a dog?"
