Chapter 39: The Gathering

Yang Run was worried about his friend's family, so he quickly agreed on a date and gathered friends.

The place is about the home of Lin Youwei, the lady of the Lin family, who is gentle and virtuous, and is capable, has been arranged in her own garden early in the morning, and she loves to be lively, through the proposal of Jin Wei and Yang Run, she invited seven or eight familiar young ladies to the house as guests.

When Yu Mingzhi followed Yang Run to Lin's house, there were already three of them who arrived first, and Lin Wanwan introduced them to each other.

The three of them are all young ladies from the official family, Cheng Fulan from the left family, Xu Zhiyao from the Feng Langzhong family of the Ministry of Officials, and Deng Ningxiu from the Langzhong family of the Criminal Department, they all greeted the newcomer Yu Mingzhi politely, at least on the surface, they didn't care that she was from the Shangjia family.

After a while, Jin Wei also brought her sister to the Lin family, the one from Mrs. Jin's mother's family, surnamed Shi, and the family was in business like Guo and Yang.

When the girls' families are together, what they like to discuss most is clothes and jewelry, or where the rouge is best, or whether there is a man in their respective families who say they are married, whether they have a favorite man, and so on. When Yu Mingzhi was in Xiangzhou, he not only rode horses and hunted with his father, walked in the barracks, but also often interacted with his sisters, so he naturally knew the doorway.

So back and forth, a few people who met for the first time quickly became acquainted. Because of her gentle and considerate performance, coupled with Yang Run's praise, she is very popular with these young ladies who are a few years younger.

After lunch, sitting in one place and gossiping, Jin Wei pulled Yu Mingzhi to sit in the corner, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a way for the people of Qin She?"

Yu Mingzhi pressed her hand, "Wei'er, don't worry, the Qin Sheren has checked, and once there is news, Yang Run will immediately notify you." ”

"Hmm. Jin Wei lowered his head, thought for a while, and hesitated: "There is something I don't know if it's true or not, so I didn't tell you in the letter." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Sister, you speak first." ”

Yang Run dragged Xu Zhiyao, who wanted to come over to join in the fun, to the side to talk, so that the two of them could talk.

Jin Wei said: "Tan Taiduo drank two glasses, not very sober and talking nonsense, he said that when he went to Xiangzhou, he accepted the benefits given by local officials behind his back Li Yushi, and there was no shortage of priceless treasures, and he said that he would take me to his house in two days to see, and if he liked to pick two things to bring back." ”

"Local officials?!" Yu Mingzhi felt a chill in his heart, saying that it was not only Wan Baoyang who took refuge in Liwangshan, if there was really something of great value, it meant that there were also county-level officials.

My father has been a stabbing history in Xiangzhou for many years, and he doesn't dare to say that he has done everything well, but he is fair and honest, treats his subordinates well, and the people in the counties under his rule are rich and rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one says that he is bad.

But today, he was betrayed by his subordinates.

What good things did Li Wangshan promise them?

Yu Mingzhi hated in his heart, covered his fingers with Buddha beads, pressed the resentment surging in his heart, and asked indifferently, "Have you been to see it?"

"No, I went to Li's house as a guest that day, and Tan Tai didn't seem to have said that," Jin Wei shook his head, "That's why I thought he was talking nonsense." ”

It may be that Li Wangshan or his father and mother knew about it, and he was expressly forbidden to mention it again. But this matter must be investigated, and how many internal ghosts there are in Xiangzhou must be found out.

Seeing that Yu Mingzhi didn't speak, Jin Wei asked worriedly, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Yu Mingzhi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I will also tell Qin Sheren, don't worry, if Tan Tai accepts a bribe, once he finds out, he will not be able to escape." ”

The gloomy cloud that shrouded Jin Wei's eyebrows dissipated a little, "Thank you Sister Baozhi for your help, if Tan Tai has anything to say next time, I will tell you word for word." ”

"Hmm. Yu Mingzhi saw Lin Wanwan waving over there, glanced at Jin Wei and came to their group.

Lin Wanwan held Yu Mingzhi's hand and asked with a smile, "Sister Yu is allowed to marry someone?"

When Yang Run introduced, he said that Yu Mingzhi was a relative, and his girlfriend name was Liang Yu.

Yu Mingzhi was shy and shook his head, "Not yet, my father and mother said that I am still young and want to stay at home for a while longer." ”

Lin Wanwan sighed: "It's still my sister's father and mother who are open-minded, how can they be like my father and mother......"

Xu Zhiyao took her arm and said, "I didn't succeed in catching up with Qin Sheren last time, so I won't mention it again so quickly, right?"

"Not really. Lin Wanwan said: "The Qin Sheren suddenly had a marriage contract, so they had to give up, and they stammered with another Sheren in Zhongshu Province, so they wanted to get close to the Qinshe people." ”

Xu Zhiyao said: "After all, Qin Sheren is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and if you want to soar, you can't scold him?"

Lin Wanwan snorted coldly: "But you don't think about me?I heard that the Qin Sheren also intend to arrange this marriage, after all, ah......" She suddenly lowered her voice, "Listen to my father, there are no Qin Sheren people in the ministry, he thinks about Fa'er to get in." ”

Xu Zhiyao was taken aback, "Won't there be someone from him who will come to my house to ask for a kiss in a while, right?"

Lin Wanwan said, "I'm not sure?"

Yu Mingzhi listened silently on the side, the official department is an important place, the power of selecting low-level officials is here, and the struggle in the court is inseparable from the little people, I think his father was framed and killed by the county order?

She put down the cup containing peach blossom wine, and coldly found Cheng Fulan sitting with her eyes down, seemingly listening to Deng Ningxiu, but looking at her eyes, she was obviously paying attention to the conversation between Lin Wanwan and Xu Zhiyao at all times.

The Lin and Xu families want to take refuge in Qin Ji, but what about the Deng family? If they are so attentive, do they also want to find a way to take refuge, or do they ...... What else does it mean?

It just so happened that at this time, neither side spoke, and she asked with a loud smile, "What about Sister Cheng and Sister Deng?"

"That's right?" Lin Wanwan turned behind Cheng Fulan and put her arm around her shoulder, "Last time, you said that you had a man you liked, and you refused to tell us who it was, so I have to ask it today." ”

Cheng Fulan didn't expect that the center of attention would suddenly shift to herself, she glanced at Yu Mingzhi vigilantly, and said shyly: "Sister Lin, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing to do." ”

"Not for a while?" Deng Ningxiu refused to let her go, "A few days ago, I saw you on the street with a young and handsome son." ”

"Oh, sleeping?" Lin Wanwan asked excitedly.

Cheng Fulan sighed, but couldn't stop Deng Ningxiu from saying it, "The second son of the Yiwang Mansion Governor Shi is a handsome and talented young man. ”

Everyone laughed, making Cheng Fulan's cheeks red.

Yu Mingzhi followed them to make trouble, but he was thinking about things in his heart.

Today's emperor has two brothers, one is a king and one is a king, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, the two have no real power in the court, and lead Yulu to be an idle prince.

Zuo Shizhi is an eight-rank official, and it is not easy to catch up with the governor of the palace, unless he knocks on the door with benefits.

What are the benefits? Yu Mingzhi looked deeply at Cheng Fulan, who was laughing with his sisters.
