Chapter 112: Magpie treads on the branch

The imperial study room.

Four hollow carved doors of red lacquered wood opened from the inside, and a man in a vermilion roared out in front of him.

The man has wide shoulders and narrow waist, handsome eyebrows and long posture - it is Xiao Rang.

Since ancient times, both Zhejiang have been important places for salt, iron and silk since ancient times. The annual taxes of several provinces and prefectures have been enough to support half of the national treasury.

Therefore, when Xiao Rang asked Liangzhe to be granted the title of Liangzhe in the imperial study, the new emperor was really surprised, and then he was silent for a long time.

The reason why the new emperor Li Cong failed to comply with the will of Emperor Cheng'an and deprived the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion had a deep foundation and it was impossible to uproot the roots.

Second, Xiao Rang led all the soldiers to fight to the death and helped him ascend to the position of the Nine Five. Li Cong could not do such a thing as "the birds are gone and the good bow is hidden".

In addition, there is a more important reason.

That was when the battle to encircle and suppress the Fourth Prince, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was deeply loved by the people.

Where the people want, where they win.

——If Xiao Rang holds the power in his hand, it would be easy to subvert it.

The great peace in the world is hard to come by, and the people can no longer withstand the devastation of creatures.

Li Cong was not stupid, of course he knew that "both kind and power" was the new emperor's rule of law.

Xiao Rang entered the palace today and told Li Cong directly about the matter of asking for a seal, and silently told Li Cong that you have no choice.

The new eunuch of the inner court, Fuzhong, threw the whisk, smiled and stepped forward, "Greatly send the Marquis of Pingyang."

Xiao Rang nodded slightly, lifted up his robe, and took a big staircase down the white marble steps.

In the distance, the glazed tiles are dazzling with golden roofs and the vermilion palace walls are dazzling.

In the future, his and her life were only romantic and beautiful scenery.

This vortex of rights has nothing to do with them anymore.

...

Gu Xiyan's sister-in-law Du gave birth yesterday and successfully gave birth to a pair of twins.

Early this morning, Gu Xiyan and Xiao Rang returned to Gu's house to visit Du and his nephews and nephews.

Gu Mansion, in the bedroom.

Du had just finished giving birth and could not go to the field. Gu Xiyan's brother Gu Zhaowen kept Xiao Rang to speak in the flower hall. Gu Xiyan then put a curtain into the inner room to visit Du and his newborn.

"How is sister-in-law healthy?"

Du quickly stood up, "But Xier?

I knew you and the Marquis were coming this morning, but unfortunately I couldn’t get out of the ground and could only talk to you on the bed. It was so rude.”

"What's wrong with rudeness?"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly held Du's hand and refused to ask her to get up. "My sister-in-law just gave birth, so she should be covered quickly, don't catch the cold wind."

Du smiled and pointed at the old lady who brought two small cradles, one pink and one blue, from the crib next to the bed, to show Gu Xiyan.

I saw two identical children in the cradle smacking their lips and spitting bubbles constantly.

Gu Xiyan was filled with joy when he saw it. He reached out to hold one in his arms, teased the other in the old lady's arms, and asked Du with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is the child's name acceptable?"

Du smiled and said, "I only named the nickname, the girl was called He'er, the boy was called Xuer, and the daimyo had not yet been taken - my husband and father are still considering it!"

"He'er, Xu'er, it's so good!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and couldn't let go of her love when she held the child.

Du looked at Gu Xiyan's doting child and smiled, "Xi'er is coming soon this month! It's a blink of an eye for the child to land!"

Although the newborn is only a few kilograms, it is still quite heavy.

Gu Xiyan was in her arms, and Du and the maids and mothers around her did not dare to ask her to hold the child for too long, but after a while, she took the cradle from her arms.

As the two were talking, the maid below put some fruit snacks and asked Gu Xiyan to grab them and eat them. Gu Xiyan had just picked up a honey-stained bayberry and put it in his mouth, and then Du said:

"Recently, the circle of noble ladies in Shengjing City has spread all over the world. The Marquis of Pingyang cares for his wife very much - he is afraid of melting when he holds it in his hand, and he is afraid of falling off when he holds it in his hand. If he can hold it, he doesn't ask to walk, and even goes to buy snacks in person!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyan choked in his throat with a mouthful of saliva. Indigo hurriedly stepped forward to help her relieve her breath. After coughing several times, he recovered, "Sister-in-law, don't joke with me! Those women are so boring.

Don’t everyone feel so loving when they are closed?

I just want to talk about it alone!"

"You!"

Du pointed to Gu Xiyan's forehead, "I'm used to being blessed! Naturally, I don't think there is anything, but in the eyes of others, my husband is considerate and considerate, and it is a blessing that I can't cultivate for several lifetimes."

Gu Xiyan's cheeks flushed, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, I brought the birth Lilly to He'er and Xu'er."

After saying that, Indigo Yu took a hollow box of red pear wood from the little maid, opened it and held it up.

I saw two east beads inlaid with treasure necklaces made of pure gold.

This collar is extremely magnificent and very expensive at first glance.

Du said, "It's just a little bit of a big child, and it deserves such a valuable gift!"

Gu Xiyan's lips were curved, "Sister-in-law, please accept it. When the child in my belly is born, I'm still waiting to ask my sister-in-law for a congratulations!"

Du smiled and said, "No one can do without you!"

The two of them held hands and talked for a while before Gu Xiyan got up and left the bedroom.

In the flower hall outside, a man was wearing a pine-smoke gray brocade-shaped round necklace, sitting on a mahogany carved chair with a golden knife.

Xiao Rang had just sipped the Junshan silver needle in the cup, and saw Gu Xiyan coming out with his maid.

"Honor, are you here to hug the child?"

Gu Xiyan signaled the woman behind him to hand the pink little swaddle clothes to Xiao Rang's arms.

Xiao Rang had just put down the teacup and suddenly got a child in his arms. He was slightly stunned and was immediately at a loss. The posture of holding the child was as awkward as it was.

He'er in the pink swaddle giggled twice. Perhaps the man's muscles were hard, and his handsome face looked faint and had no smile, nor was he as fragrant and soft as Gu Xiyan. He'er started crying while kicking his calves.

"Good baby, stop crying."

Gu Xiyan coaxed her a few times, and saw that the child was still crying and was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly asked the woman to pick up the child and send it back to the inner room.

She looked around and said in confusion, "Hey, where is the brother?

Didn’t my brother say something to the Marquis just now?”

Xiao Rang pursed his thin lips and said, "My father-in-law asked him to go to the study to chat, and my uncle is here first."

Seeing his appearance, Gu Xiyan knew that his brother must have not given Xiao Rang a good face just now.

I couldn't help but feel funny, "Why didn't the marquis go over?"

Xiao Rang raised his eyes, pulled Rouyi beside Gu Xiyan, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I want to wait for the wife to come out, look at her and then pass."

That's true. When Zhang Tai saw him, he smoked the seven orifices of Gu Zhao's always literary spirit, and even moved them thickly.

After Gu Zhaowen returned to Gu's mansion, he wanted to sue Xiao Rang for a serious complaint, but his grandmother Gu Jiang was not in good health. Later, in the rebel army siege the city, Gu Zhaowen was concerned about his grandmother Gu Jiang's body and did not tell the couple's fault. He could only hide his concerns about his sister in his heart.

Since childhood, Gu Zhaowen has been extremely fond of Gu Xiyan, and his brother and sister have never been blushed. Xiao Rang was so angry that he could make Gu Zhaowen like that, and his anger did not disappear for several months, which is really "not easy".

The man lowered his eyes and felt a sense of pity inexplicably.

A warm touch came from his forehead, and Gu Xiyan pouted, "I don't believe it."

The Marquis looks so aggrieved. I’m afraid he’s not waiting for me to come out and complain to me about his brother’s lawsuit?”

Xiao Rang also smiled, "Call Xier for complaining with Xier, will Xier help me?

Um?"

The man's voice was low and nice, and it was sprayed on her ears, making it numb.

Gu Xiyan shrank and snorted, "Don't help."

"If you want to blame, blame the Marquis for bullying me so much before! My brother is just speaking up for me, and the Marquis is not innocent at all."

Xiao Rang felt that he was taking it upon himself, and said a few nice words in a low voice, hugging the beauty in his arms and kissing him again and again. Gu Xiyan had no choice but to hide from his thin lips with a funny smile.

The two were talking together. On the other hand, Guan’s mother beside Gu Jiang took a curtain and entered the door. Before she could shout out the words, she unexpectedly encountered this tangled scene.

Gu Xiyan raised his eyes and jumped off Xiao Rang's body, his cheeks as sharp as smoke.

Mrs. Guan has been with Gu Jiang for decades, and she has never seen anything in the inner house?

There was still some shame, and after a little relaxed, he smiled and passed the message to Gu Xiyan and Xiao Rang.

"Girl, aunt... the old lady asked the girl to go to Heshoutang to speak with her own words."

Xiao Rang stood up from the chair with a normal expression, clenched his fists and put them on his lips and coughed lightly, "Since that's the case, go quickly, don't ask grandmother to be anxious. I will also go to the study and discuss matters with my father-in-law."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Xiao Rang, thinking that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, who was serious in front of others and did not vomit bones behind others.
