A Clash of Gods - Chapter 193

[Chapter 192]

The weather is cold, but the faint sunshine in winter does not make people feel the slightest warmth.

It took Yang Ning a long time to come back to her senses. When she went to see Su Zixuan again, the group of people had walked cleanly. Only Xiao Yao was already sitting on a stone on the ground, with her arms around her knees, her head bowed, and she was silent.

A gust of wind blew, and although Yang Ning was wearing a thick brocade jacket, he felt a chill on his body.

Yang Ning couldn’t believe that such two women with such disparate contrasts could be sisters. He couldn’t have imagined that Xiaoyao was dressed in plain clothes and had a delicate body. The daughter of Su Zhen, the lord of the township?

Who is the Marquis of Wuxiang?

One of the four marquis of the empire, although he is the last, but Yang Ning of the Marquis of Wuxiang has seen it with his own eyes. It is luxurious and luxurious, and he is extremely particular about everything from the big scenes to the small details. That is the authentic aristocratic life.

How could there be such a simple and simple lady like Xiao Yao in such a luxurious mansion?

If Xiao Yao hadn’t said it herself, Yang Ning wouldn’t have believed such a ridiculous fact.

“Xiaoyao, you…!” Yang Ning was silent for a while, and finally crouched down beside Xiaoyao and said softly, “So you are the daughter of Marquis Wuxiang.”

Xiao Yao finally raised her head, her eyes were flushed, she forced a smile, and said, “Shizi, thank you for standing up for me…for me just now. You are a good person, but…it’s just that Xiaoyao is not worthy of you. Do that.” She clearly had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she pretended to smile freely and said, “It’s alright, Shizi, you go back first, I…I’m going to read.” Before Yang Ning could say more, it was already Picking up the scroll that just fell on the ground, he smiled reluctantly at Yang Ning and turned away.

Yang Ning raised his hand and wanted to stop, but he didn’t know what to say at this time.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yao disappeared that Yang Ning shook his head with a wry smile, and followed the road he entered and left Qionglin Academy.

Since Xiao Yao is studying in this academy, and she has promised Zhuo Qingyang to come to the academy every month, she is not afraid of not seeing her in the future.

After leaving the academy, he saw two accompanying guards guarding the horses, while Duan Canghai and Renbo were chatting, laughing and bragging in the cabin. Seeing Yang Ning walking past the cabin, Duan Canghai hurried out. Said: “Master Hou, are you out?” Yang Ning had been in for most of the day, and it was almost noon, which made people anxious to wait.

Yang Ning went straight to the horse, and Duan Canghai hurriedly motioned for the two guards to follow him. Seeing that Yang Ning seemed to have something on his mind, Duan Canghai urged him to come forward: “Master Hou, did that bastard surnamed Jiang make you angry?”

“You saw him?” Yang Ning asked.

Duan Canghai said with a sneer, “I was waiting outside the academy. Not long after Lord Hou entered, that kid came over in the big carriage. Hehe, it’s really imposing. That carriage is more luxurious than some princes and nobles.”

Yang Ning had no interest in Jiang Suiyun at this time, and asked, “Second Uncle Duan, how much do you know about the Marquis of Wuxiang’s family?”

“Wuxiang Marquis? Su Zhen?” Duan Canghai didn’t have a good face when he heard the name, and snorted coldly: “Back then, the old Marquis and Wuxiang old Marquis were Jin Lan brothers, and the relationship between the two is very close, even if they are old When Lord Hou passed away, when the general was alive, Su Zhen also often came to our Jinyi Hou Mansion to walk around, otherwise how could the two families become in-laws?” After touching his beard, he said, “I am very familiar with their family, Hou. What do you want to know?”

Yang Ning rode on the back of the horse and just let the horse slow down at will. Looking at Duan Canghai, he asked, “How many wives does Su Zhen have?”

“Married three successively.” Duan Canghai said without hesitation, “Su Zhen’s wife is the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and her background is not low. But after Su Zhen got married, she did not have children for two years, hehe, then At that time, the old Marquis of Wuxiang was still alive, this old Marquis of Wuxiang was good at everything, but he was very concerned about the succession of the lineage, the wife of the main family was not born, and the old man himself made the decision and continued a concubine.”

Yang Ning was actually not interested in learning about Su Zhen’s complete family history, and asked directly, “Has he ever married a girl from Qinhuaihe?”

Duan Canghai said with a smile, “Su Zhen was also a famous playboy in the capital when he was young.

At that time, the old Marquis of Wuxiang was often not in Beijing, so Su Zhen was so happy that no one cared.

When the old Marquis of Wuxiang was alive, there was no old Marquis to call the shots, not to mention the girls from Qinhuai River, even if they would not dare to marry another concubine.

After a pause, he said, “I have heard people say that Su Zhen participated in the selection of the Queen of Flowers one year, she won a girl, and finally got a concubine of flowers. That girl is very talented, and Su Zhen treats her very much. obsessed.

However, when the old Marquis of Wuxiang was there, he didn’t dare to marry him back to the mansion, but I heard people say that at that time, Su Zhen had already obtained a sum of money and redeemed himself for the girl, but he just kept it outside.

”

“Did you get married later?”

Duan Canghai said: “In less than half a year of knowing the girl, Mrs. Su gave birth to a daughter, and the old Marquis of Wuxiang was very disappointed. After three or four months, the old Marquis of Wuxiang gave up and returned to the west, and the old Marquis passed away. Within two months, Su Zhen brought the girl raised outside back to the house.”

“Oh?” Yang Ning frowned and said, “The old Marquis of Wuxiang just passed away, how dare he do that?”

“Actually, he didn’t marry him.” Duan Canghai said, “I just brought it back to the mansion without giving me a name. Later, many people found out that the girl outside was pregnant at that time, and she was about to give birth to a child. Su Zhen wanted a son who could inherit the title, and since the wife of the main family could not have a son, she naturally counted on others, so she took the girl back to the mansion and took good care of her.”

“Doesn’t he have a son?”

Duan Canghai nodded and said, “Master Hou is talking about Su Zicheng, the eldest son of Wuxiang? In fact, the affairs of the Su family were all put together at that time. The wife of the main family gave birth to a daughter, and the old Houye of Wuxiang was not healthy at that time. He died in four months, but at that time Su Zhen’s second concubine also suddenly became pregnant. When Su Zhen brought the girls from outside into the house, two women were pregnant at the same time. I heard that the two gave birth to children. Only one day later, the second concubine gave birth to a son, and the girl outside gave birth to a daughter the next day… Think about it for yourself, is this okay?”

Yang Ning frowned and said, “You mean, because the girl outside gave birth to a daughter, so Su Zhen treated her lightly?”

“A lot of people know about this.” Duan Canghai sneered: “Su Zhen is ruthless and unkind. The girl who supported the girl back then was like glue, and regarded her as a baby, but after she got bored, she gave birth to another daughter, and Su Zhen just The attitude has changed greatly. Needless to say, Mrs. Zhengshi, because the second concubine gave birth to a son, her status in the Marquis Mansion of Wuxiang has risen, and Su Zhen is very fond of her. What happened later, I really really I don’t fully understand, I only know that the girl was sent out of the mansion by Su Zhen and found a new place to settle down, and the orphans and widows are equivalent to being expelled from the mansion.” Shaking his head, he sighed: “In those days, many people secretly Everyone said that Su Zhen’s affairs were inappropriate, but after all, this was his family business, and no one would offend him because of a girl from Qin Huaihe. In fact, as far as I know, even today, that girl is not even a child. I don’t even have the title of concubine, hey, it’s a bit pitiful to say.”

At this time, Yang Ning also felt a chill.

Duan Canghai naturally didn’t know that what he said was exactly what Yang Ning wanted to know. At this time, Yang Ning already knew most of Xiaoyao’s life experience.

There is no doubt that Xiao Yao’s mother is the concubine Hua who was supported by Su Zhen. The concubine Hua later gave birth to Xiao Yao for Su Zhen, but she was not loved by Su Zhen. Although Su Zhen was relocated outside, in the end , is equivalent to kicking their mother and daughter out of the house. For a girl who once lived in Qinhuai River, although she was redeemed but had no name, it was not easy to raise a child.

He also finally understood at this time, why Su Zixuan was arrogant and domineering in front of Xiaoyao and took it for granted, that was obviously in Su Zixuan’s eyes, Xiaoyao was just an illegitimate daughter, and Su Zixuan, who was born as the main wife, of course had a natural instinct. Pride and a sense of condescension.

In this era, not to mention illegitimate daughters, even concubines can’t be on an equal footing. Qi Ning and Qi Yu are the best examples.

“Find the residence of that concubine Hua back then, and tell me as soon as there is news.” Yang Ning left a sentence, slapped his horse, and galloped away.

Duan Canghai and others hurriedly followed suit.

Just after returning to Pipa Street, two flying horses came towards them. When they saw Yang Ning and the others, the two immediately restrained their horses. Duan Canghai recognized at a glance that it was the guard of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and frowned, “What are you doing so anxious? ”

One person immediately said: “Second brother Duan, it’s really a big emergency.” He cupped his hands at Yang Ning and said, “Master Hou, hurry back to the palace, someone from the palace seems to be calling you into the palace.”

Yang Ning was startled, rather surprised.

In fact, after he inherited the title, he also thought that he might see the emperor sooner or later, but since then, there has been no intention to come down. Under the guidance of Gu Qinghan, Yang Ning also had someone write a thank-you book for him, but after the book went up , like a stone sinking into the sea, there has been no news for many days.

Yang Ning also thought that the throne was initially determined, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, there must be a lot of things to do.

Although he has lived in two lifetimes and has seen a lot of the world, he is now a grand incarnation of Qi Ning, who has become Jinyihou and lives in the magnificent Jinyihou mansion, but he has never entered the palace, thinking that he really has the opportunity to enter there The solemn and mysterious place, in addition to the accident, was actually a little excited.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I saw Eunuch Fan, the eunuch, the chief eunuch, who came to summon him. We were all acquaintances, and there was not much courtesy. According to Eunuch Fan, the emperor was waiting in the palace to be summoned, so let Yang Ning hurry up. Entering the palace, fortunately, when Eunuch Fan was waiting here for a while, Gu Qinghan had already made arrangements, and people had already prepared waiting clothes.

When the Jinyi Hou entered the palace, naturally, he could not wear it at will, but had special clothing. On the day Yang Ning inherited the title, Gu Qinghan had someone make waiting clothes according to Yang Ning’s figure, just to prevent the palace from being summoned.

Yang Ning showered and changed clothes at the fastest speed, and Gu Qinghan explained it carefully, then Yang Ning took advantage of the carriage and followed Eunuch Fan to the palace.
