Mu Changxu, the second son of the eldest princess of Changle, shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, was ordered by the Empress Dowager to bring two hundred iron guards to Yizhou City to welcome the lord of Shaohua County back to Beijing.
In early September, the team finally arrived in Yizhou.
Chi Linglong was not surprised at all when she received the post of the main banquet in Shaohua County, as early as a few days ago, she had expected today's line.
Those who went to Qingyang Bofu today to attend the farewell banquet of the lord of Shaohua County, in addition to all the female dependents of the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, the rest of the families of Jingyuan Bofu, Jiang Mansion, Zhizhou Peng, and other nobles of Yizhou City and the female dependents of the families of those in power all received posts to visit.
When the carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong arrived at the Qingyang Bo Mansion, it was already full of people. The carriage drove directly into the Qingyang Bofu, and at the second gate, everyone changed to a small sedan chair and went to the inner courtyard.
Chi Linglong has not seen the county lord of Shaohua for a few days, as soon as this party stepped into the flower hall of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu's banquet, the first thing that caught her eye was that she was wearing a luxurious purple and golden silk phoenix peony brocade dress, and a purple peony thin hookah long skirt on the bottom, with a red gold plate and a red ring on the neck, and the skirt was tied with a golden palace silk double horizontal flounder rose, and the Shaohua county lord was sitting in the lower position of the old lady of Qingyang Bofu with a smile.
The dress of the county lord of Shaohua today is extremely graceful and luxurious, and the demeanor of a county lord who is favored by the saint and the queen mother is vividly and vividly; The royal dignity and atmosphere are interpreted to make people jealous.
This girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old is the vane of the capital's noble lady's dressing, although she is still a little thin, but her every move is flawless and can be an example for women in the world.
Chi Linglong squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the county lord of Shaohua who was chatting and laughing with the noble ladies around her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but tilt up slightly.
The lord of Shaohua County is beautiful, has a positive complexion, and is full of smiles, which can really be described as beautiful.
Even if Chi Linglong is still far away, she can hear the private discussions of the surrounding female relatives, and they admire this county lord who has always been "living in a simple place".
"Tsk, where is this the respect of the county lord, I don't know, I thought it was a princess in the palace."
"Hey, you're behind in the news, and the princess is not as favored as the county lord."
"I don't know which noble boy will be cheaper when the time comes......"
Chi Linglong heard everyone's sighs, her eyes couldn't help but bend, and she didn't express any opinions, but she followed behind Zhou and the others, walked straight over, and greeted the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, the county lord of Shaohua.
She is Mu Changyao's fiancée, and her identity is naturally different from everyone else.
When the old lady of Qingyang Bofu saw her coming, she took her hand affectionately and chattered for a while.
Chi Linglong smiled and listened to the complaints of this kind old man, but she felt warm in her heart, this is probably the only old man in this world who really thinks that she and Mu Changyao are a good match.
The next crowd looked at the old lady of Qingyang Bofu, who valued her granddaughter-in-law so much, and they all laughed and joked, "Such a good girl, I like it very much." "The old lady is so blessed." "Good looks, good temperament, I heard that the embroidery is also excellent, and the third son is really a good match." ……
Ji Mingzhen and Ji Mingwan's faces turned green, and the smile on Mu Xie's face was also a little stiff.
Finally, the county lord of Shaohua relieved Chi Linglong, and Chi Linglong left the old lady with a shameful face, and turned to greet Mu Xie.
Seeing Mu Xie's cold and alienated eyes, and faintly disgusted and jealous, Chi Linglong couldn't see it, but she was so ashamed that her little face turned red and whispered: "I heard that my aunt is going to leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, Linglong specially made some embroidered handkerchiefs, wipes on her forehead, embroidered shoes and cloak for her aunt, and also made some for Grandpa Guo, which has been handed over to Sister Shuang'er beside my aunt." ”
At this point, a little face was so hot that it was almost smoking, "It's not good, please don't dislike it, auntie......"
The look of grievance and resentment on Mu Xie's face flashed like a fly, and then he took Chi Linglong's hand without smiling, and comforted him with kind words: "Good boy, you bother......
Chi Linglong was so ashamed that her head hung down to her chest, but she didn't say anything else. It happened that the county lord of Shaohua said that he wanted to take the little sisters to the Beauty Pavilion to talk about his heart, and the old woman of Qingyang Bofu also responded with a smile.
The group walked out of the courtyard of Mrs. Qingyang and walked to the beauty pavilion where the county lord of Shaohua lived.
Chi Linglong fell at the back of the crowd, and slowly, Xie Hui, the second girl from Qingyang Bofu, also fell behind, and walked side by side with Chi Linglong.
"This time, only my aunt and the county lord of Shaohua will go back, and the third cousin will be in Yizhou for a few days." As soon as Xie Huifu opened his mouth, it was unexpectedly big news.
Chi Linglong asked, "What?" ”
When he completely reacted to the meaning of Xie Hui's words, the whole person stumbled under his feet in shock, almost crooked his foot, and fell.
"Girl, be careful."
"Be careful."
Biyue and Xie Hui beside her both helped Chi Linglong in time, and Xie Hui said funny, "It's not earth-shattering news, are you there?" ”
Chi Linglong came back to her senses, slowly calmed down her breath, and sent Biyue and the maids waiting around her to the back. Only then did he sigh and ask Xie Hui again, "Why didn't he go back?" ”
She remembered clearly that in her previous life, Mu Xie's clan, Mu Changyao and Shaohua County Lord all returned to Beijing together with Mu Changxu's army.
Why didn't you go back this time?
Could it be because of ...... Haven't completely dealt with her?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, and then thought about Mu Changyao's ruthless personality, no matter what he did, as long as it didn't go his way, he would never give up, and at the same time, the sharp light in Chi Linglong's eyes began to flicker.
She has an advantage and a disadvantage, that is, she is too desperate......
Xie Hui didn't seem to see the colorful expressions on her face, but he said casually: "The third cousin announced to the outside world that he had finally won the favor of Mr. Feng Ming, and he wanted to stay in Yizhou and learn from Mr. Feng Ming. As for the real reason, who knows......"
Mr. Feng Ming is also a great Confucian in the world, although he has never been born, I heard that he has great talents. However, this person is withdrawn, and his temperament is very tolerable, so even if there are many admirers who want to study under Mr. Feng Ming's name, they all return in vain.
While Chi Linglong lamented that Mu Changyao's methods were endless, and most of the things he thought and planned could go smoothly, he was also a little more jealous of this person in his heart.
Such a fiancé who wanted to deal with him had already broken off the marriage contract with her, and he had failed to do so before, I am afraid that while Mu Changyao was angry in his heart, he was also more determined to get rid of her. Even for her, Pan Huan didn't go to Yizhou, which was definitely not good news for her.
Chi Linglong frowned, thinking in her heart that after she went back, she should really plan a way out.
There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, no matter how slack she is waiting for Mu Changyao to attack, vainly trying to block the soldiers, and the water to cover the earth, maybe that day her little life will be accompanied to the inside unknowingly.
"Anyway, thank you." Chi Linglong looked at Xie Hui and thanked him sincerely.
Although even if Xie Hui didn't tell her, she would know the news when the county lord of Tianshaohua left at the latest; However, Xie Hui is willing to take the initiative to sell her favor, and she is not a person who does not know what to do and does not know how to be grateful.
"No thanks." The corners of Xie Hui's mouth curled, and his eyes also had a warm color. However, she didn't know what she thought, and there was a strange light in her eyes, and she looked at Chi Linglong and stopped talking.
"Say what you have to say. No matter what, I'll always trust you more. ”
Xie Hui nodded, and after listening to Chi Linglong's words, the lines of his face seemed to soften a lot, "You get closer." ”
Xie Hui pulled Chi Linglong closer, although the maids and daughters-in-law of the two were all far behind, Xie Hui still lowered his voice, and whispered to Chi Linglong: "I saw the bracelet on Chi Mingzhen's left wrist just now, which is a little familiar." ”
Chi Linglong was stunned and froze in place.
Bracelet, the bracelet on Ji Myeong-jin's left hand?
Xie Hui frowned slightly, and said uncertainly: "I'm far away, but I haven't seen it carefully." But I look a little familiar with that style, and it is a bit similar to the meeting gift my mother gave her when she got up early to serve tea after my sister-in-law passed the door. ”
He pursed his lips again and said hesitantly: "I heard that there was originally a pair of bracelets, which were heirlooms of Qingyang Bofu and a token of the eldest daughter-in-law. I heard from my mother that when my aunt got married, my grandmother gave one to my aunt and the other to my mother, and my mother passed it on to my sister-in-law......
Xie Hui said so much vaguely, but Chi Linglong's head was almost squeezed by the information that suddenly poured into his mind.
Xie Hui's words were in the clouds, but Chi Linglong was so smart. Although Xie Hui said vaguely, she was already sure that the bracelet that Ji Mingzhen was carrying on her left hand today was undoubtedly the original Qingyang Bofu.
The two bracelets, one of which was passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law and one in the hands of Mu Xie, will not be in the hands of an outsider, Ji Mingzhen.
But now that it is in the hands of Chi Mingzhen, there is only one possibility, whether it is Mu Changyao gave it to Chi Mingzhen, or Mu Xie gave it to Zhou first, and Zhou gave it to Chi Mingzhen later, this all represents a meaning, - the premeditated plan of Zhou and Mu Xie before is already in progress!
In this way, where should she, the "fiancée", go?
Chi Linglong knew that she would become an outcast, but this incident really happened suddenly, and Chi Linglong finally belatedly filled with a trace of panic in her heart.
She doesn't want to be a waste chess player, let alone a chess piece at the mercy of others, this time, let her be a chess player! RS
