"Miss, what are you thinking?" I was interrupted by Lan Ling.
With a smile, he said, "What's the matter?" β
Ah Qiao said with a smile on the side: "Miss said that she came to see how our small business was doing, but she didn't listen to our report at all, on the contrary, she kept smiling. Now, they are asking us 'what' is going on? β
I glanced at her and said, "Ah Qiao's mouth is getting better and better, and I have listened to your report very carefully." β
Ah Qiao didn't buy it: "Oh, then the young lady said, how much silver did we earn this month?" β
I also said stiffly: "Anyway, I made a lot of money." The fine account is remembered by Ah Qiao, the silver ticket is collected by Lan Ling, what else do I have to worry about? β
Ziqing covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Miss means that she is the shopkeeper." β
A few laughed together, and I remembered that I had made an appointment with Brother Jiu in Merlin in the afternoon, and I couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of my heart.
Just as he was talking and laughing, the little maid came in and replied, "Miss, Lord Jiang Ningyu outside asks to see you." β
I was stunned, but now he doesn't shy away from it, but I don't want his identity to be exposed so soon, so I replied casually: "The general went to the barracks, and he hasn't come back yet, let him go to the camp if he has something." β
The little girl replied: "I said it, but Master Jiang said that he was looking for Miss, and said that Miss had an old friend coming." β
"Old man, what old man does Jiang Ningyu know about me?" I was a little confused, then I got up and thought of someone: "Could it be him?" β
I asked Lan Ling and the others to wait for me in the west chamber, and I went to the front hall alone.
From a distance, I saw Jiang Ningyu standing at the door of the front hall waiting, I stepped forward quickly and said, "Who is coming?" β
Jiang Ningyu stood on the side, pointed to the hall, and replied, "It's the leader." β
When I heard the answer. He has already been seen.
A sentence of "Brother Ling" didn't shout, he had already knelt down, and bowed very seriously: "Subordinates, see Miss." β
I sighed and picked him up. said: "Little sister hasn't seen Brother Ling for several months, and now goodbye, it's like a world away." I wonder if everything is okay with my eldest brother? β
Ling Yun glanced at Jiang Ningyu and said, "Miss is too polite, how dare Ling Yun be commensurate with Miss brother and sister." β
I knew that someone was there, and my agreement with his brother and sister was invalid, so I walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Okay, Chief Ling." How are you doing this time? That one...... Daddy is good? β
Ling Yun was still like that, cold. Abide by his duty, he didn't even dare to sit, he only stood and replied: "The subordinate is very good, but he is the master...... Not so good. β
My feelings for Ding Xiang are actually very complicated, on the one hand. I am grateful to him for nurturing me, although there is no real father-daughter affection, but it is not far off; On the other hand, I hate him a little bit like Jiang Yunlin, believing in those unwarranted numerology theories, which led me into the complicated power struggle, and I don't like him to put the third brother in danger. But now. I heard that he was not good, and I couldn't help but want to care about him.
I asked, "He...... How is it bad? β
Ling Yun replied: "The situation in the imperial court is treacherous, but now it is becoming more and more unfavorable to Xiangye. Jiang Yunlin ...... "When Ling Yun said this, he paused weakly, seeing that I didn't react, and then continued. "Now, the four highnesses are connected to the right as one, and the prince has lost power and has been abolished, and the prime minister is alone, if it weren't for the long time in the imperial court. There are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and now I am afraid that it will be even more declining. But even so, now the emperor no longer respects the prime minister, and often when the two ministers disagree, the emperor also looks to the right. β
I think about it, Ding Xiang is used to being dominant in the court, and now that he is excluded, he will definitely not get used to it, not to mention, he has a higher "pursuit". I hope that after Ding Xiang is excluded, he will give up other ideas that he shouldn't have, and honestly be the prime minister for two years, and retire when he should retire, and he may be able to keep Ding's lineage. If he is still so sharp, I don't know what means the emperor will use against him, but I am afraid that we will not be spared.
Ling Yun saw that I didn't speak, and said, "A large part of the reason why Xiangye is struggling now comes from Ancheng. β
I wondered, "Why is that?" β
Ling Yun said: "In fact, the court is evenly matched, but when it comes to mastering military power, the Fourth Highness is indeed superior. Marshal Du did not participate in the court dispute, but only defended the country. But His Royal Highness the Nine grew up with His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness since he was a child, and His Royal Highness the Nine was not favored that day, and was sent to the Fourth Highness's biological mother, Ruan Guifei, to be fostered, and His Royal Highness treated him very kindly, and His Royal Highness the Nine has always been grateful for his kindness. Now, the Fourth Highness is only one piece of paper away from becoming the crown prince, and the Ninth Highness is the biggest help in his army. "The analysis is very correct, but now that the Ninth Highness and Marshal Du have gone to Miancheng together, what is Ling Yun here for? Does Ding Xiang still want to make waves again?
I looked at Ling Yun thoughtfully, and suddenly realized that this was the General's Mansion, although Du Yichun did not express a very clear political position, but I remember that he didn't seem to like Ding Xiang very much, and now that he is in the General's Mansion, I don't know if the wall has ears.
I changed the subject and said, "Lingyun, I'm very happy that you're here, I don't know where you're staying now, I want to go and see it." β
Ling Yun knew how to reply very well: /shenmi/ "The latest chapter of > Shenmi" is on the east side of the city, and his subordinates will lead the way in front. β
So, the three of us headed to the east of the city. When I arrived at Lingyun's foothold, I was a little shocked, it was a very large garden, more than three times larger than the General's Mansion. Although the house is not carved beams and painted buildings, it is definitely chic and exquisite. The courtyard is three in and three out, there are three independent courtyards, the entrance is a bamboo sea, very quiet, the courtyard is mainly a living room; Then enter the study, there is a small lotus pond outside the study, pavilions and pavilions, although it is not as big as the capital minister's house, but it is also complete; The innermost part is my favorite plum forest, La Mei Duoduo, and this is the real plum forest, at least fifty or more if you look at it roughly. On the left and right are separate terraced houses, which are bedrooms.
After I finished visiting, I returned to the second lotus pond and nodded, "It's good to listen to the frogs in the lotus pond here." Then he turned his head and joked with Jiang Ningyu: "Why don't you cheapen me early if you have such a good yard?" Jiang Ningyu was speechless for a while, but Ling Yun replied: "I won't let you tell you, the first is that I don't want others to find out about this contact point, and the second is that you have run away from home, if you see the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm not sure if you will run away." β
I smiled and said, "Is it useful to run away?" Haven't you been there all the time?" Ling Yun was shocked and said, "How do you know?" Jiang Ningyu retired very interestingly, leaving only me and Ling Yun by the lotus pond.
I walked to the stone bench next to me and sat down, tilted my head and smiled, "You can call Brother Ling now, right?" Ling Yun's face seemed to turn red, and he said, "There are dense guards here, it is said that ......"
I bowed my face and shouted, "Lingyun! β
He immediately nodded and said, "Qingqing will do whatever she says." After saying that, he sat down on the stone bench opposite me, and then said, "By the way, you haven't said how you knew I was following you?"
