Chapter 167: On the shore of Qujiang Lake
Fang Jingyi originally saw that Mu Lingxuan and Lan Jiayin had a harmonious relationship, but she was so disheartened that she couldn't even look at the backs of those two. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But in an instant, God gave her a little hope again, so that Miss Sun, the eldest grandson of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, looked at her differently.
With this invitation, Fang Jingyi finally had the opportunity to enter the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, which solved the big problem in front of her.
Let me ask, what is the difference between her and those noble ladies from wealthy families?
It's just an identity missing, and there is that unexpected opportunity, Fang Jingyi is like dust, Mu Lingxuan is like the rising sun, the distance between the two is too far, there is no chance to meet at all, how can people make people have blue eyes on her?
But Mu Bingyuan's words gave Fang Jingyi this great opportunity, she thought that she was no worse than anything in dealing with people, and even in terms of winning people's hearts, she was slightly better than everyone's noble girls.
As long as she can step into the door of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Fang Jingyi believes that in time, she will be able to leave an impression in front of the prince.
The big shopkeeper who came out to see off Mu Lingxuan and his party had already taken people back to do business, but Fang Jingyi was the only one standing straight at the back door of Wanbao Pavilion, looking at the direction of the convoy and secretly distracted.
But he was secretly thinking in his heart, "Miss Dasun is gentle and amiable, she doesn't look down on people at all, and she is a very close object." ”
"What should I give to her to make her feel good about me?" It's a matter of thought. ”
"And the people who serve her, especially the two big maids and the housekeeper's mother, can't be left behind, these people are almost all the sons of the Hou Mansion, no matter what else, no matter how much useful information can be obtained from their mouths, they must not relax."
After figuring out what to do in the future, Fang Jingyi let out a long breath, no matter whether Mu Lingxuan glanced at her today or not, but she could finally step into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion openly, and she was still very satisfied with this result.
With the corners of her lips slightly curled, Fang Jingyi walked forward without hurrying, going to meet her own maid, and first go home to think about Miss Lan Wu's jewelry style, which is serious.
..................................
In March, the Qujiang River is at its most beautiful time of the year, on the vast lake as clear as a sapphire, there are gorgeous painting boats during the pleasant and slow swimming period, there are also small meniscus boats shuttling in the meantime, and there are good anglers rowing small boats to the depths of the water, catching big fish to sell to the restaurants on the shore for money.
Every ten steps or so on the shore of the lake, there are planted willows with branches and buds stretching, these trees are big trees that have grown for decades, tall, branches and buds are eternal, in this spring season, its branches that dance lightly with the wind, it is already a little green bud, that casual and natural dance, no worse than the best dancer in Pingjing City, but better than nature, let people feel extra comfortable to look at.
As far as the eye can see, leaning on the southeast side of the Qujiang River, it is the most prestigious Decai Academy in the whole western region, it is the Huide Academy in the south of the Yangtze River, the Suiyuan Academy in the north, and called the three major academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost comparable to the Taixue in the capital, and it is the existence of the local school Taishan Beidou.
Decai Academy has a good reputation, so it is very strict to recruit students every year, not only to have a letter of recommendation from the family or local squire, but also to conduct an entrance examination, and strive to make all the students innocent and moral, it can be said that the students here, except for a small number of people who are stuffed into the family, the rest of the eight or nine out of ten are really talented people.
It has been more than 200 years since the establishment of Decai Academy, which has run through two dynasties, witnessed the change of dynasties, and survived the hardships of war, but it can still stand here, which is enough to prove that the strength of the academy is still very strong.
The Decai Academy is built against the back of the small green mountain, although it is not a steep mountain in the real sense, but because the red maple and rhododendron are planted all over the mountain, whether it is spring or autumn, there are proud scenery that makes people linger, at this time it is the rhododendron blooming, the red flowers all over the mountain are like fire, and it is also beautiful that people are about to suffocate.
This holy land, which lasted for more than 200 years, the style of the building is still the characteristics of the West, but due to the passage of time and the increase in personnel, there are many more courtyards, which have long spread from the original foot of the mountain to the mountain unconsciously.
As for the large area of carved beams and paintings in the southwest of the Qujiang River, the color is obviously much more beautiful and vivid than the simple and heavy Decai Academy, which is the location of the tea shop and restaurant in Qujiang, and the gorgeous and trendy style and the elegant academy form a strong contrast of different styles.
There is also a seafood street over there, which sells all kinds of imported goods, most of which are fresh goods from the south, and are favored by the young lady because of their various styles and exquisite styles.
On weekdays, the street is also crowded, extremely lively, not much inferior to the four main streets of the east, west, north and south, Pingjing people gave it the name of Haibao Street, which is very worthy of the name.
Mu Lingxuan set the place for everyone to meet, which is the Zhenwei Pavilion on Guanshui Street, which is separated from Haibao Street by one street, and is also the most prosperous place in Qujiang.
The reason why I will choose this place is also because of the height of the Zhenwei Pavilion, as the saying goes, sitting high can look far, since it is to bring people to enjoy the scenery, then you have to occupy the favorable terrain to become ah!
Sitting in the private room on the west side of the fifth floor, you can see most of the lake of Qujiang River and Decai Academy, and the picturesque and beautiful scenery can be seen at a glance.
Mu Lingxuan thought, before playing, let's have lunch here, let Lan Jiayin look at the scenery by the railing, and explain it to herself, so that she can have a basic understanding of Qujiang.
In the afternoon, they went to Mu Jiu to find a good place to go out, so that they could have a clearer positioning of the place where they played.
The private room is Liang Youren's youngest son, Liang Kuan came to order, this person holding Mu Lingxuan's name post, the shopkeeper was simply overjoyed, and led him to the fifth floor at that time, and let Liang Kuan choose at will.
While Liang Kuan was honored, he did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and turned around the fifth floor with twelve rooms, and finally chose the largest private room in the west, 'Green Calyx Plum'.
After settling on the room, the first thing he did was to let people open all the windows facing the lake, and deliberately set up two screens in the middle of the hall to distinguish the boundaries between the young lady and the sons, so that when it was time to eat, the masters could also be more comfortable.
The place where they eat was packed up early, and when Lan Jiayin and the others walked into the 'Green Calyx Plum', the first thing they were attracted to was the extraordinarily exciting scenery outside the wide open window.
On the contrary, on the four tables of the Eight Immortals, the carefully prepared various delicious refreshments were completely ignored by the nobles.
Lan Jiayin pulled Hu Qinghui with one hand, Mu Bingyuan with the other, walked to the window in three steps and two steps, looking at the beautiful and picturesque spring scenery outside the window, the three young ladies were all amazed, you pointed to the painting boat in the lake and said beautiful, she pointed to the academy opposite and said yes, chattering, cheering, and immediately painted the most vivid color in this private room.
Mu Lingxuan looked at Lan Jiayin and the three of them happily enjoying the scenery, there was a softness between his eyebrows and eyes, and then he looked at the meticulous and thoughtful layout in this room, and he felt that Liang Kuan, this kid, was better than blue, and he wanted to reward him a few words when he went back, and thought in his heart, after he got married in the future, he would let Lan Jiayin choose one of the fathers and sons to be the housekeeper.
His mind fluttered, Mu Lingxuan came back to his senses, he turned his head sideways and asked Mu Hu, "Why have we all arrived, cousin and Brother Qi haven't arrived yet?" ”
"Speaking of which, they're all closer than we are."
The two small ones were in the academy diagonally opposite, and the Xishan camp where Mu Lingjun was located was also much cheaper than them coming from the crowded city center, why didn't one of them arrive first?
Mu Hu also wondered in his heart, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "My subordinates don't know, I have already asked Mu Wu and them to inform them, it stands to reason that the three of them are extremely cheap here, how could none of them come?" ”
As he was talking, Mu San came in outside, "Fourth Prince and Young Master Qi, Young Master Qian came downstairs and came up immediately." ”
The fourth son in Mu San's mouth is Mu Lingjun, the eldest son of Mu Lingxuan's fifth uncle, what he is shouting is the ranking in the clan, don't look at Mu Lingxuan ranking fourth in his own family, but in the clan, he is thirteen, but Liang Wenyu feels that the thirteenth prince is shouting inexplicably, so he only lets the servants in the family shout according to their own ranking.
When he got outside, no one shouted these four sons, either calling him the prince of the world, or calling him Xuan Gongzi, and there were almost no people calling him thirteen sons.
Mu Lingjun's people are free and easy by nature, so they heard that the people outside had not arrived, and the voice came first, "Haha, why did the sun come out in the west today?" ”
"Our family also knows how to eat and drink?"
This is the voice of an adult, in the end, Mu Lingjun is still one step ahead of the two who went to school.
With the words, a tall, sturdy and burly man came in outside the door, this one was wearing a blue collared robe, a palm-wide white jade belt tied around his waist, holding a short horsewhip with black oil in his hand, and he kept holding the whip flower, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, which made the face, which was already four points similar to Mu Lingxuan, add a bit of handsome demeanor.
"I didn't expect to see this person again after a lifetime, and he was still so uninhibited and casual." Lan Jiayin's heart jumped, and her eyes quickly turned around Mu Lingjun's body.
In the previous life, after Mu Lingxuan forced Mu Yishan to death, the Mu family gradually divided into two factions, a small number of people with improper minds secretly supported Xue Rulan's son Mu Yongqi, and most of the Mu family's children supported the genuine prince Mu Lingxuan.
Mu Lingjun is Mu Lingxuan's diehard, and this is one of the few friends of someone.
However, whether it is those people with other intentions who support Mu Yongqi, or decent people who support Mu Lingxuan, these Mu family members think that they are noble, and they really don't think much of Lan Jiayin, the prefect's wife, and the pastime around Mrs. Hou.
On weekdays, she looks at her kindness, but it is nothing more than for the sake of Mrs. Xuanpinghou's love for Lan Jiayin, which gives people a smile, but she still looks down on her in her bones.
is the only one who is truly loyal to Mu Lingxuan, and he takes a fancy to Mu Lingxuan's safety from the bottom of his heart, and even looks down on her, the life-saving benefactor.
Lan Jiayin later did business, Mu Lingxuan gave her some of Rong Di's private goods, and the person who implemented it was Mu Lingjun, who took good care of her, not only never made it difficult, but also often gave some sought-after goods, which made Lan Jiayin earn a lot of money.
For such an old man with the grace of help, Lan Jiayin naturally paid more attention, but she didn't want to, she heard a cold snort in her ear, and when she looked at it, Mu Ling stared at her with a straight face, and asked softly, "What?" Do you think Cousin Jun looks better than me? ”
After a pause, he added unwillingly, "He is seven or eight years older than me, and I must be better than him at his age!" ”
Okay, Lan Jiayin is just thinking about the past, and after a little more glance at others, this one became jealous, Lan Jiayin cried and laughed and explained in a low voice, "What are you talking about, I think he looks like you, more like your eldest brother and them, I was curious for a while, so I took a second look, where did you think of going?" ”
Mu Lingxuan's cold eyes were soft when he heard this, "Oh, there is a saying called 'each other is born from the heart', the original looks of those few can still be seen, but I always love to ponder those dirty things that hurt people in my heart, so can't I grow into a vicious look?" ”
When Lan Jiayin heard him say this, her heart tightened, and she blurted out a question, "What?" But the second and third children of your family are restless again? ”
Mu Lingxuan was about to speak, but was grabbed by Mu Lingjun, "I said Brother Xuan, you specially invited me to eat and enjoy the scenery, I came, but you accompanied your younger brother and sister to talk endlessly, this is too boring!" ”
"Come, come, come, you should sit with me and Brother Sen."
Mu Lingxuan was pulled away by someone without saying anything, and as she walked, she twisted her face and gave Lan Jiayin a reassuring look, meaning that she would talk about it later.
Before the Xiang brothers met and said a few words, the Qi brothers came, and after a while, Mu Bingtong also arrived accompanied by Mama Yun.
Since beating Mu Cheng, Mu Lun's father and son, under the guidance of Mu Lingxuan's men, discovered the unethical affair between Xue Baoshan and his husband, and the status of Mama Yun's family immediately changed dramatically.
First Xue Rulan spoke in front of Liang Wenyu and asked Mu Cheng's family to go to the big house, and then, Mu Cheng became the housekeeper of the long house, Mu Lun also became Mu Yongqi's side servant, and even Mama Yun's sister-in-law also became the mother of the small kitchen of Zifangyuan, although she was not the general manager, it was much better than being idle at home before.
The family is in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and in a blink of an eye, they have become a first-class slave, and they have a lot of face in front of people.
