Before Xia Xiaodong arrived in Yanzhou, Ning Junwu came to see her again.
This time I didn’t bring a wine gourd, let alone any food to go with the wine.
Ning Junwu only brought one piece of news.
Grandma Jia is dead.
"She should have committed suicide by taking poison."
Ning Junwu sighed: "She also left me a text message.
She said that now that my two brothers have grown up, let us live a good life and forget about her."
Anyone who keeps saying forget about me actually means, please let me stay in your heart forever.
Grandma Jia's trick is pretty good.
If you commit suicide, you can still choose a way to die.
Without evidence, Ning Junwu really couldn't make things difficult for his younger brother, even though he had no intention of making things difficult for him.
"You." "" Ning Junwu raised half of his eyebrows to express inquiry.
Xia Xiaodong didn't plan to say it originally, but after seeing Ning Junwu's house fighting skills recently, he decided to make it clear to him.
"According to her own words, Grandma Jia was originally just a country girl.
Later, she served your mother and then married her.
She didn't have a great upbringing.
However, her way of handling things was not like her own knowledge and skills.
It can be done."
Xia Xiaodong said straightforwardly.
"There is someone behind her," Ning Junwu murmured.
"We have actually talked about it before, what if your mother was there back then?"
"Who might think that your mother occupying the position of head wife makes him unhappy, but he can know and even decide who will succeed your mother, and he can still find ways to make Jia Aina listen to him, but he will not be embarrassed.
You."
Xia Xiaodong's voice became softer and softer, secretly watching Ning Junwu's reaction.
Ning Junwu suddenly didn't even blink.
After being silent for a long time, his dry eyes turned and closed gently.
After a while, he reopened them and regained his clarity.
"You mean, King Yan?"
Ning Junwu didn't call King Yan his father.
They were not close to each other in the first place.
Xia Xiaodong lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Nine true and one false.
Jia Aina claimed that she was Ning Junwu’s biological mother, which was false.
Everything else should be true.
If he hadn't heard about King Yan described by Grandma Jia, Xia Xiaodong would probably have thought of this person even later.
For a man who is lustful and wanton and wants to lie on the belly of a beautiful woman all day long, the most difficult thing to accept is probably his dignified and generous wife who helps him make progress every day.
After completing the mission of giving birth to a legitimate son, it was time for the head wife to abdicate in favor of the next in line.
Of course, this is just suspicion.
So, it’s just a reminder.
As for whether King Yan took action, whether he did it himself, or secretly instructed his concubine to do it, or arranged for Jia Auntie or someone else to do it, there is no way to know.
It all depends on how far Ning Junwu wants to investigate.
In fact, Xia Xiaodong did not stay in his fief for long.
After sending back the people sent by Emperor Qi to escort him, he settled down for a while, met with the officials in Yanzhou, and then set off back to Suzhou.
When it comes to things like getting married, it’s better to start from your mother’s family.
According to the discussion with Ning Junwu and the handling method acceptable to everyone, after all the marriage procedures are completed, Xia Bashan will send his relatives to the Viking City and report on his work.

Then the newlyweds set off for Yanzhou.
Alas, there is no other way.
All this trouble is for the sake of Ning Junwu's face.
Otherwise, if he is asked to come to Suzhou or Yanzhou to get married, it will inevitably be a bit of an intrusion.
If the Xia family sends a bride there, although the identity of the eldest princess Xia Xiaodong will bring some troubles, as long as the royal family gives some grace and makes some exceptions in the ceremony, it will be fine.
Anyway, in the end, the young couple lived in a separate house out of town, and it wouldn't interfere with anyone's business, so it probably wouldn't be a big problem.
To put it bluntly, it was actually because Xia Xiaodong originally had his registered permanent residence in Suzhou, Dachu, but due to the draft, he immigrated to Daqi and settled in Yanzhou.
The procedures for cross-border marriage are naturally a bit troublesome.
Although he didn't stay in Yanzhou for a long time, Xia Xiaodong also noticed that the local officials were of very low level, and obviously no one was willing to serve as an official in such a remote and unprofitable place.
On the other hand, although it is his own fiefdom, he does not have much management authority, mainly because the annual income that belongs to Xia Xiaodong is actually quite small.
With such a small amount of money, if it was taken to the capital, there would probably be very little left after all the wear and tear on the road, but it would still be more than enough to support an eldest princess.
The process of crossing the border was quite smooth.
Anyway, on the Daqi side, they had already expressed their intention to go home and completed the corresponding customs clearance procedures.
On the Dachu side, this area was originally guarded by Xia Xiaodong and her father.
Yes, of course it is not a problem.
The Xia family in Suzhou had undergone many changes when Xia Xiaodong left.
The main thing is that there is more money.
The big head of the Suzhou stone naturally belongs to the Lu family, but the small head in the Xuannan area is enough for the Xia family to eat well.
Xia Xiaodong lived peacefully until July, and then went to the capital under the escort of her father.
The wedding date is set for September in the golden autumn.
When Xia Xiaodong was heading to the capital from south to north, the Ninth Prince was leaving the capital from north to south.
The tree fell and the macaques scattered, which is probably the reflection of the Ninth Prince these days.
The Ninth Prince thought that if he was willing to kneel on the washboard obediently, he would definitely be able to continue to gain the support of the Jiang family.
It's just that Jiang's chief minister has been in power for many years and has a lot of eyes and eyes.
It didn't take long for him to receive a tip and he knew what the Ninth Prince asked King Gui to do.
The Ninth Prince only thought that it was just a matter of getting a beauty, nothing more.
Jiang Chief Fu's focus was on the relationship between the Ninth Prince and Prince Gui.
Incompetence is not scary, just be obedient.
But he's so incompetent that he still keeps running around, and he doesn't even bother looking for a reliable ally. roll.
The life of the Ninth Prince, whose engagement was broken off by Jiang Shoufu, soon became miserable.
What puzzled him was that there was actually a retainer who had always been ingratiating with him in the mansion, and he ran to report it with dignity.
Is there anything to report?
The Ninth Prince scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.
However, relying on the report, the Zongren Mansion found two secret maps in the Ninth Prince's study, which were exactly the same as those previously held by Princess Anning.
They even found several private letters to and from Princess Anning at the same time.
Stamped with the private seal of Princess An Ning.
Based on these alone, there would be insufficient evidence to say that the Ninth Prince was plotting rebellion or rebellion.
Originally, the evidence of Princess Anning's rebellion was not that sufficient.
How can it be so easy to commit rebellion?
But as the last straw, it is still possible to overwhelm the Ninth Prince.
Under the good concubine's efforts, the Ninth Prince finally saved his life, took a casual position, and walked far away to show the Sixth Prince that he no longer coveted the throne.
He went to the distant southern Xinjiang to serve as a military supervisor.
This position was actually usually held by eunuchs.
In the golden autumn, the prisoners of the Autumn Jue were convicted, and a large number of cases were concluded.
For many officials who have committed crimes, it cannot be said to be a good life.

However, Mrs.
Fei from Jinfeng Tower was in a good mood.
Because she got a new batch of goods.
Moreover, they are all good products.
It has always been the case that the families of officials who were deprived of their official positions and sent into exile were the most popular items in the courtyard.
Generally speaking, although the family members of convicted officials will be given out official gifts or official sales to offset bribery, as long as they have relatives and friends, they will provide money to buy them back to avoid going too far.
After all, things harm their own kind.
Therefore, not many people actually fell into the courtyard.
Most of them were concubines and concubines.
Fei's mother was lucky this time and got four of them, all teenage girls, each one as tender as water, a money-spinner.
A concubine is also a girl from an official family.
She cannot be beaten or scolded, so she is best manipulated.
Moreover, only customers who are willing to pay big sums of money prefer girls of this background.
There was actually an acquaintance among them.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Qiao?
It's great."
Xia's mother smiled like a chrysanthemum on her face, without any irony.
The girls are her food, clothing and rice bowl.
If she can coax them, it is actually better than forcing them.
Qiao Qiaoer sneered and didn't answer.
She never thought that she would lose so completely.
Qiao Fuyin failed to escape the fate of being deposed, and due to insufficient return of stolen goods, his property and family were sold.
The Ninth Prince was abandoned by the Jiang family and fled far away.
Originally, Qiao Qiaoer could still struggle because of the alleged marriage.
I just didn't expect that everyone would push back.
When Judge Gong was handling Qiao Fuyin's case, he also investigated the death of Qiao Fuyin's first wife.
Immediately, several maids who wanted to make meritorious deeds and get a better future jumped out.
He came out and testified that Qiao Qiaoer's biological mother had murdered his legitimate wife.
Official Gong showed no mercy.
Not only did he convict Ye, but the original efforts to straighten things out were also canceled.
In this way, Qiao Qiaoer's identity became that of a concubine.
The clan government acted even more decisively and directly canceled Qiao Qiaoer's qualification as a show girl.
How could a daughter born from a concubine who murdered his legitimate wife become a show girl in the royal draft?
Without the qualifications of a show girl, the so-called finger-marriage would evaporate and disappear without a trace, like a rainbow after the rain.
It's really a drain on the fire and there's nothing we can do.
Mother Fei was still talking nicely to Qiao Qiaoer, when suddenly a head stuck out from the door.
"Mom," Miss Yingying said coquettishly with a smile, "Mom, please send two people to accompany me for a walk."
When girls want to go out, they must get their mother's permission, and they must be followed by green skins to prevent the girls from escaping, and to prevent others from taking advantage of them and causing trouble.
Since it was still early today and it was not yet time to hang up the sign and wait for customers, Fei’s mother waved her hand casually: “Let Xiao Ma go with you, and take Bao’er with you.”
The big and small horses are naturally the big horse and the little horse, and they are brothers.
Miss Yingying responded with a smile on her face, and was about to walk away when Mother Fei stopped her again: "You can't go too far, you have to be back before you turn on the lamp."
"Of course."
Miss Yingying responded: "I just went outside to watch the excitement.
The Crown Prince of Yan is getting married today.
I heard that it is a big event."

Well, Prince Yan, isn't that Ning Erliu?
Qiao Qiao'er was surprised and asked quickly: "Is it today?"
"Yes."
Miss Yingying glanced lazily at her future competitor: "The one I want to marry is the eldest princess Minhui of Daqi.
It is related to the dignity of our Dachu, and even the emperor has given her congratulatory wishes. , I heard that the Daqi Embassy also sent a protocol officer. " Qiao Qiaoer's lips were trembling and she couldn't say a word.
Mother Fei glanced at her, narrowed her eyes, and sneered: "Why can't you stand it when I'm in the sky and you're on the ground?
Hey, you haven't seen the eighteenth level of hell yet."
"Yes, yes," Miss Yingying was most willing to add some fuel to the fire: "You see how lucky I am.
Last month, King Yan had a stroke.
I heard that his mouth is crooked, his eyes are slanted, his legs are cramping, and he won't live long.
La.
Once King Yan dies, Prince Yan will be the new King of Yan.
How suitable it is for our King Yan of Chu to be paired with the Princess of Qi."
Fei's mother had already inquired clearly about Qiao Qiaoer's background, and she said with a smile: "The emperor also gave Baizhou to King Yan as a fief.
Isn't this obvious?
After the prince inherits the throne, the fief can follow The eldest princess’s fiefdom is adjacent to it.
It seems that she will use this marriage to make good friends with Daqi.”
Qiao Qiaoer stared out the window blankly.
Mother Fei and Miss Yingying were singing and talking, but she almost didn't hear them.
She only saw many people walking past quickly, rushing to see the sedan chair.
The distant sound of silk and bamboo gradually came, joyful and peaceful, with a long tail tone, and a vague aftertaste that lingered for a long time.
