Return of the Swallow

"Are you going to pay to buy a house for your family?" Pang Xiao kicked off his boots and sat on the heated kang, and put Qin Yining in front of him again, encircling her like a big soft doll, "But your family may not accept you love, and your family is not separated, right?"

Qin Yining leaned comfortably on Pang Xiao's chest, looked at the intricate carvings of magpies climbing branches on the mahogany cabinet, and said in a lazy voice: "It is true that there is no separation, but I can't write two characters Qin in one stroke. I bought the house for the purpose of My father. Although my father's whereabouts are unknown now, I believe that with his wisdom, he will be able to turn a fortune out of misfortune. He hasn't come back yet, he must have been stumped by something. "

"You're right. Although my people haven't found out the whereabouts of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they haven't found any bad news. At this time, no bad news is good news. With the father-in-law's mind, they will The son must be safe and sound." Pang Xiao said firmly.

Qin Yining's face turned red, she twisted her body and moved out of his embrace, and said angrily, "What father-in-law and mother-in-law? Who said that they are going to marry you?"

Pang Xiao laughed and pulled her back into his arms: "It's rumored that I'm a hero and short-tempered, and I'm planted on your little girl. If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry? Smart and filial, he protected the old man in the house today, and he bought a house for his parents when he went back, such a good daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.

"Smooth tongue." Qin Yining snorted, but his heart was very sweet. After thinking about it, he said: "But I can't do this directly, I can't tell the old lady to know that I bought the house, otherwise it will be in the future. There are more troublesome things. I can find a reliable person, put my name on this person, and then make a deal with my father on the surface. I just hide in the dark, and the money is not revealed. ."

"It's so smart." Pang Xiao kissed her on the cheek, "I haven't said it yet, you already figured it out. In this way, don't worry about buying a house, I'll secretly order people to pay attention, but the capital is worth every inch of land. , your family has no foundation here, and it is impossible to buy one that is as big as it used to be."

"It doesn't have to be as big as the original house, it's fine to have a normal two-yard yard. The important thing is that the location is better. Now my family doesn't have that many people, and I don't know what will happen in the future, so I don't need to tie the money to the yard. When it comes to real estate, I can’t get the money out when it’s temporarily used, maybe my father will have other arrangements in the future.”

"Well. I'll let people pay attention later." Pang Xiao touched her smooth cheek and smiled, "Although your people haven't come to the capital yet, but I'm here, what do you want to do? What, just tell me if it's inconvenient for you, and I can help you do it."

"I won't be polite to you."

Pang Xiao kissed her lovingly again, and then said: "I also made an appointment with Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie to discuss matters,

just left. "

"Yeah." They didn't get married again. Pang Xiao came to sit for a while and looked at her, but she didn't know how many flowers were going to come out. Even if she had already carried the reputation of being "robbed", her boudoir reputation would have been ruined a long time ago. The people who served around him knew how long Pang Xiao stayed each time. Qin Yining still wanted to be inside, so he didn't leave him too much.

Qin Yining asked Xian Yunyun to learn about the wine soup for Pang Xiao, and sent him to the house before returning to the house.

Pang Xiao was reluctant to part, and turned around and left Suxue Garden in three steps. After the gate of Suxue Garden was closed behind him, he sorted out his mood and walked quickly to the study.

Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue saluted Pang Xiao, and Xie Yue put a hairpin on his hands.

Pang Xiao smelled the strong fragrance of rouge, frowned and said, "Who sent it?"

"Back to the lord, it was sent from the palace." Xie Yue's smile was the same as usual, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to contain ridicule.

Pang Xiao was very unhappy, took the post and glanced at it, threw it away angrily, and landed on the ground.

"For doing this, it's also because she has the courage to say that she is a woman from a heavenly family, and she has asked a famous teacher and asked her to teach her.

Xu Weizhi picked up the post, looked at it, and handed it to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue put it back to Fang Ji after seeing it, and couldn't help joking: "Isn't the prince too charming, who can blame him?"

What Xie Yue said about Pang Xiao was both angry and funny, "It's the stinky problem of being pampered, you have to get what you want? She had a very smooth journey! My sister Yi is also everyone's young lady. , and not as frivolous as she is."

Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Yue said: "The lord is now removing Wushan, not Yun. But Miss Qin is indeed a good girl, worthy of such praise from the lord."

Xu Weizhi said, "But what the sage looks at is probably the character of Princess Anyang. She has both the determination to win for you and the courage to do deviant things. If this goes on, you and Dingbei Houzhi will be together. The relationship between them, I am afraid, cannot be repaired.”

"Sister Yi said the same just now. The only thing I can do is to make it clear that the Duke of Dingbei sees that I have no intention of Anyang."

"Then tomorrow's banquet, my lord -- \u003e\u003e

not going? "Li Helan invited Pang Xiao Restaurant to a banquet in the post.

Pang Xiao said: "Not only will I not go, but I will also refuse to go. Mr. Xu, I have to ask you to ghostwrite, and say that I am unwell and I need to recuperate in the mansion. In addition, I also ask the eldest princess to pay more attention. If it is freezing cold today, it is better to go out less. ."

"Yes." Xu Weizhi stood up and went to the desk to grind ink and write a reply.

Pang Xiao also arranged for Xie Yue to secretly find a suitable house, and when he found it, he would come and tell him.

Silent all night. Early the next morning, when Li Helan was having breakfast with the queen mother, she received a reply from the palace servant.

Li Helan happily threw down the ivory chopsticks, and opened a reply with a wide-eyed smile. When she saw the words above, her smile froze. After reading it carefully, Li Helan kicked over the embroidered pier beside her on the spot.

"Laner, what's the matter? Who bullied you, tell Aijia, Aijia will decide for you."

Seeing her beloved little daughter so angry, the queen mother pulled her into her arms and coaxed her heartily.

Li Helan wiped away his tears of grievance: "Pang Zhixi refused to go to the banquet, and the content was very perfunctory. The most important thing is that he even asked people to write his reply. His daughter recognized it, and it was definitely not his! He even gave it to her daughter. Every word is stingy, this is simply contempt for my daughter!"

When the queen mother heard the words, she asked carefully what happened. After listening to Li Helan's remarks, his face finally darkened.

"Laner, why did you take the initiative to post to Pang Zhixi? You have to know that you are already a married person, and your future concubine is the Duke of Dingbei. Even if you are a princess, your future life will be with Dingbei. Hou Shuan, what are you doing for the post with the surname Pang? Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?"

"Misunderstanding? It's not a misunderstanding at all! I just like Pang Zhixi, everyone in the world knows that, so what? The emperor insisted that I marry Ji Lan, but I don't like Ji Lan's temperament at all, and it is impossible to get along with him. The emperor is now the emperor, so don't care about me!"

Li Helan sobbed with grievance, and burst into tears on the arm that hugged the queen mother, and the tears fell on the back of the queen mother's hand.

The Queen Mother really cares for her little daughter. It's just that she also knows that since the emperor has made a clear decree and announced it to the world, then this marriage cannot be changed.

Besides, the emperor also told her about the marriage between Anyang and Dingbeihou, and she also felt that the young man was good.

Empress Tai sullenly reprimanded: "Shut up, because Aijia spoiled you. After all, you have learned the rules for so many years. How come you don't understand the words of your parents' matchmakers for marriage matters?"

"Queen Mother! Why don't you think about your daughter at all? If you hadn't always said that Pang Zhixi and I were a natural pair, and that I would marry Pang Zhixi as a wife when I grew up. I could have a special place for him. Are you thinking? This concept was instilled in me by you, and I took it seriously. I have been thinking about him all the time, thinking about marrying him when I grow up, but what about now? Blame it all on my head. What's wrong with me!"

Li Helan's remarks of resentment came from the bottom of her heart. She had been holding it back for a long time, and she dared to cry in front of her mother. After all, she is not stupid. Although she doesn't know what the emperor is going to do, Li Helan understands that her marriage is related to her. The political affairs of the government must have been irreversible.

The more she knew that the status quo could not be changed because of her wishes, the more anxious and dissatisfied she became.

Pang Xiao refused to go to the appointment, and told others to return a letter that seemed to care about her body, but actually reminded her not to go out and walk. It really hurt her heart and her self-esteem.

Thinking that he might have no chance with Pang Xiao in this life, Li Helan simply lay in the empress dowager's arms and burst into tears.

"Hey? What's wrong?" At this moment, Li Qitian's voice suddenly came from the outer hall.

Li Helan's crying stopped abruptly, and she even hiccupped because she was too nervous.

"The emperor is here." The queen mother glared at Li Helan, who was still crying, and turned to Li Qitian with a smile: "Have you had breakfast?"

Li Qitian stepped forward to salute the queen mother and said with a smile, "I've already used it, the ministers are taking a break today, I just wanted to take a look at the queen mother when I have time." Then he turned to Li Helan, "Why did Laner cry like this? Sad? Who bullied you?"

Li Helan wanted to say "it's you who bullied me", but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Qitian, so she just shook her head.

Li Qitian could see the reply from the corner of his eye, and frowned, "Who is this letter to you?"

Li Helan almost jumped up in shock, and hurriedly went to take the letter in his arms, "No one, the girl's family is writing for fun, does the emperor want to ask the content?"

Li Qitian swept the letter with inquiring eyes, and then looked at Li Helan, who was nervous, and then said with a smile: "It's fine, but if someone bullies you, you must tell me, remember, you are My sister, I will protect you no matter what happens, understand?"
