Chapter Eleven: Kaifeng Wind and Cloud (2)
Early the next morning, Wang Shaowei sent the yamen runners to inform the counties under Kaifeng to summon all the girls to be selected according to the established roster, and all of them were gathered at the yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture.
After Zhu Yinglong left, Zhou Yingning changed Tian Hongyu from the villa before leaving and placed him under house arrest from the villa in the palace. The whole family of Tian Mansion became the temporary garrison of the Saint Guard stranded in Kaifeng. Xu Ruying also temporarily moved into the Tian Mansion as a distant relative and took Tian Hongyu's family by the way. Therefore, when Tian Hongyu received the famous certificate sent by Kaifeng Mansion and asked him to take Tian Shulan to the Kaifeng Mansion immediately, he was shocked. Now it was not his turn to the entire Tian Mansion to take him to the official servant, so he planned to use some money to send the official servant first. He wanted to tell Xu Ruying the news, but these official servants were not from Kaifeng Mansion, but the four Jinyiweis under Wei Liangqing. The order they received was to keep watching the person being sent to the Kaifeng Mansion. The money they had received was but the person standing on the spot.
Now Tian Hong was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, saying that Tian Shulan was not in the mansion. Even if he was there, he would not dare to send people to Kaifeng Mansion.
"Master Tian, this is the will of the court. If your second lady is chosen as a show girl, enters the palace, and serves the emperor, you are the father-in-law. That is much more glorious than now. Why are you still hesitating? Let us invite the second lady out and let our brothers take it back." These people are Wei Liangqing's personal guards. They are domineering in the capital on weekdays. If it weren't for the Duke's idea of attacking his daughter, if they fly up to the branch and become a phoenix, then they will not be so polite to Tian Hongyu!
The people in Kaifeng City did not know that the second lady of the Tian family had never lived in her Tian Mansion, but had always lived in the Xin Mansion. Especially Xin, during the period when the King of the Week, she had never returned to the Tian Mansion. Even the master of the Tian family had been missing for many days. Tian Hongyu heard this and found that the four Kaifeng Mansion's yamen runners who came were either just here and were so fake that they dared not dare to. The only explanation was that they spoke Beijing. They came from the capital, either Jinyiwei or Dongchang's mansion. Tian Hongyu became even more nervous. He might have to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, but what could he do?
When Tian Hong encounters something, it will naturally be the first to reach Xu Ruying, who lives in Tian Mansion. On that day, she and Yanhong were sewing shoes and hats for the children in her belly. Zhu Yinglong went north to Beijing, and Yanhong stayed with Xu Ruying to serve him. First, this girl is meticulous and is both poor and very close to her. Second, with Yanhong, the loyal girl, beside Xu Ruying, Zhu Yinglong is also relieved. Every stitch and thread condenses the little bits of maternal love of Xu Ruying, who is about to be a mother. Now Xu Ruying is as gentle as a pool of clear water, the concentration and tenderness of sewing clothes. Yanhong is a little jealous of the children in Xu Ruying's belly. She is so loving before her mother is born, but unfortunately her life is not so good.
"Oh..." When Yanhong thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh, and the needle and thread in her hand couldn't help but stop.
"Sister Yanhong, why are you sighing for no reason?" Xu Ruying heard Yanhong's strange sigh and raised her head to ask.
Yanhong put down the sewn half-sewn baby underwear in her hand, grabbed one of Xu Ruying's hands, and asked seriously: "Sister Ruying, do you think the prince likes boys or girls?"
Xu Ruying asked strangely: "Sister Yanhong, why did you suddenly ask about this? Are you a yellow girl, so shameless?"
Yan blushed slightly and said, "Sister Ruying, don't be ashamed of me, don't you miss the prince now?"
"This?" Xu Ruying became a little silent. She had always thought that if she had a child in her belly, she could forget the figure of that person in her heart. However, when Yanhong asked this, her face was more clearly imprinted in her heart, and she replied quietly: "I don't know."
"I'm sorry, Sister Ruying, I shouldn't have asked you like this!" Yanhong suddenly felt that she was wrong and couldn't help but apologize.
"Okay, sister Yanhong, sister doesn't mean to blame you." Xu Ruying looked at Yanhong's guilty look and hurriedly smiled and comforted her.
Just as the two sisters were having fun, a maid suddenly ran in and said a few words quickly in Xu Ruying's ear. Xu Ruying immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and walked out hurriedly with her big belly that had been more than six months old.
Yanhong naturally knew the maid who spoke and was really serving and monitoring one of Tian Hongyu. So, something big had to happen to Tian Hongyu. When she thought of Xu Ruying with a big belly, she hurriedly followed her out.
Tian Hongyu was so poor that he could not deal with it. When he had no choice, he suddenly saw Xu Ruying walking in with a big belly. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he was fine, the one who could make the decision finally came.
The four Jinyiwei dressed in yamen runners' uniform suddenly saw a beautiful woman walking into the living room, and there was no need for any communication. Looking at Xu Ruying's big belly for six months, all four showed lewd eyes. Looking at Xu Ruying's body emitting a unique maternal brilliance. With her beautiful charm, the four of them had seen many beauties in Wei Liangqing's mansion, and had never seen such a beautiful pregnant woman. They couldn't help but swallowed their saliva subconsciously.
What Xu Ruying hates the most is the look of men. When she saw that these four so-called yamen runners were not good things, she immediately thought about how to wink these four people.
"Ruying." Tian Hongyu hurriedly called Xu Ruying, and then introduced to the four Jinyiwei yamen runners: "This is my husband's niece from afar. My husband was unfortunately murdered and he was desperate to join me."
"My niece has met my uncle and four officials." Although Xu Ruying was disgusted, it was better not to know some things by outsiders. Xu Ruying moved into the Tian Mansion, so she naturally arranged the corresponding identity for her.
The four Jinyiwei yamen runners had never seen such a delicate beauty paying tribute to them. Their bones suddenly became sore and their lewd nature was revealed. Teasing women was their job.
"Miss, how did your husband be killed? Tell us, let us help you revenge, okay?"
"Yes, don't look at our humble status, but our Duke is jealous of evil. As long as you tell me, we will report to the Duke to help you take revenge."
"Yes, just tell us four of you in front of your uncle who is here too, don't worry, we won't go back on our word."
"Also, if you don't believe us, you can follow your faraway cousin to Beijing, and it's okay to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. If your cousin becomes the imperial concubine, you don't have to worry about it."
Looking at the ugly faces of the four people, Xu Ruying felt vomiting. Who are these people? She decided to play with these four people. Her eyes turned and she immediately pretended to be pitiful. Her eyes rolled down and she bent her belly and knelt down to salute the four people, saying, "Thank you for your care, it's a pity that the power behind that person is too great. The four officials are grateful for their kindness."
The four of them didn't know if they were too lustful or lustful. The leader slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, little lady, no matter who the other party is, as long as the four of us are here, you will be able to revenge you." After that, he reached out and planned to support Xu Ruying and take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
How could Xu Ruying let herself be touched by such a dirty person? Even if she is pregnant now, her skills are still very good. With a gentle move, the other party's lustful hand will be lost. With a beautiful face, these four people would not suspect that the little lady in front of her was actually a master. Since she had not helped her, she naturally took her hand back embarrassedly. The three people next to her were originally envious, annoyed that she had not seized this opportunity. Now that she saw that the person in the leader did not succeed, she showed a hint of joy.
"The little woman's husband has died unjustly. The little woman doesn't want to implicate her uncle's family anymore. Besides, I already have my husband's flesh and blood in my stomach, so I no longer think about revenge." Xu Ruying said in tears.
"How can this be done? I still have the law in the Ming Dynasty, how can I let innocent people die with grievances?" The four of them said in a look of righteous indignation, their eyes flashing on Xu Ruying's face, wishing they could swallow the person in one bite.
"Four officials, my niece from afar has already been destroyed. All four are good, so she is not willing to seek justice." Tian Hongyu also understood Xu Ruying's intention and cooperated.
"No, we are entitled to the Ming Dynasty's salary and receive the mission from the Ming Dynasty. How can we stand by and watch when encountering such a thing? The Duke will punish us when he knows it?" What he said was righteousness. Yanhong, who was hiding at the door of the living room, almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, his hand was almost covering his mouth.
Xu Ruying even sneered at these words in her heart, greeting the four ancestors of the eighteen generations in her heart, and noticed that they kept talking about the "Duke of the Kingdom of China" in their hearts. She turned a thought and then she stopped her tears pitifully and said, "The little woman appreciated the kindness of the four officials, but that person is too powerful. Even if the Duke of the Kingdom of China is jealous of evil and the four officials have a bright future, how can the little girl be so selfish? Let's forget it."
Xu Ruying said that the more these four people wanted to know who she was talking about, in their impression, there seemed to be no unfair things in the factory. Who could such a young lady offend? At best, they were just bullies in the local area. However, when they were so angry, they didn't expect who Tian Hong was. Of course, a prince would not make a big fight for a relative of a relative, and this reason was also reasonable.
"Who is it, little lady, you said it!"
After the four of them were anxiously urging, Xu Ruying pretended to be helpless and said timidly: "It's better not to say it, so as not to implicate your Duke."
"No one in the world can implicate our Duke!" said one person proudly.
"Who are the grand lords mentioned by the four officials?" Xu Ruying looked a little moved.
Since they had already said that they had revealed their mouths, the four of them were beautiful and brave. When the leader saw Xu Ruying's pitiful and tear-eyed look, his soul flew away and blurted out: "Of course it's our Duke Ning."
"Wei Liangqing? Is it him?" Xu Ruying lives in Tian Mansion and is waiting for delivery. Zhou Yingning is still a little cautious about her, so she rarely informs her of the news, so Xu Ruying is not very clear about many things.
"Now, can the little lady tell us who we are?"
"Yes, it's Prince Zhou." Xu Ruying lowered her head and whispered in a terrified look.
"Which Prince Zhou?" asked a blurted out that he hadn't understood.
"Kai, from Kaifeng Prefecture." Xu Ruying pretended to be scared.
"It's him!" The four of them took a breath of cold air and looked at each other. This was a royal family member. They were still on his ground. The famous saying of "The Dragon Is Not Suppressing the Local Snake" was very clear. In an instant, a basin of cold water poured from the heads of the four people to their feet. The thrilling passion that had just been slapped with the chest was gone.
"This, Mr. Tian, please invite the second lady out soon, so we can go back and report." The leader got up and met Tian Hong. Only then did the four of them remember what they were doing, and their lust was suddenly destroyed.
"Four officials, what did the little girl's second cousin do?" Xu Ruying pretended to be unaware of it and asked in surprise.
"The emperor's selection girl, Mr. Tian's second lady was attracted by Eunuch Li, who came from the capital. I especially asked us to take Miss Tian to the government office."
"How can this work? The little girl's second cousin has already had an engagement with someone." Xu Ruying said in surprise.
"We don't care about this. As long as we are not married, no matter whether we have an engagement or not, we must accept the choice."
Xu Ruying immediately understood that someone was targeting King Xin. Judging from the sent people, they knew that they were not yamen runners from Kaifeng Prefecture at all, and they must be people from the capital.
"Unfortunately, the four officials and the little girl's second cousin was taken over by her sister. It seems that she has not come back yet?" Xu Ruying said in a regretful tone.
"So, Miss Second is not in the mansion?"
"Of course not here."
"I'm not here anymore, the four officials just don't believe me." Tian Hongyu said with a grievance.
The four of them turned over and discussed for a while, as if they believed Xu Ruying's words. They looked at Xu Ruying a few more times before leaving, which made Xu Ruying want to dig out the four pairs of eyes at this moment!
After finally sending these four people back, I immediately went to the Prince's Mansion with Yanhong to discuss solutions to Zhou Yingning.
Chapter completed!
