Every spring and summer flood season, there will always be some places to make floods, the news of the breakdown of the embankment in Jingzhou Shilizhuang is not amazing, especially the fold is clearly written, Shilizhuang has rained heavily for three days, resulting in the collapse of the embankment, fortunately the local officials vigorously coordinated and mediated, and resettled the villagers in advance, after the embankment burst, there were only three dead and five injured, from this point of view, it is considered a merit.

Jingzhou Zhizhou, is the Ministry of Rites Yang Yude's son Yang Mian, although only from the fifth grade, but is a party chief, transferred back to the capital in the future, the future is immeasurable, known as Xiao Yang.

Emperor Zhaofeng saw that the excerpt mentioned how to resettle the victims and how to repair the embankment, in an orderly manner, did not need the imperial court to do a little bit of care, and couldn't help but say to the inner servant: "The son of Yang Shangshu is blue." ”

These words spread quickly, and for a while, Yang Shangshu's Mansion was full of people, and even King Yan, whose reputation had suffered a lot because of the impeachment of the imperial history, was revitalized.

Among the princes, only his grandfather's family has the deepest roots, which is his confidence to win the heir.

Yang Yude, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held Yang Mian's secret letter, but his face was so heavy that he could drip water.

He invited his confidants to talk secretly: "In Jingzhou Shilizhuang, the straw used to build the river embankment is actually straw, once this matter spreads, the Son of Heaven will be furious, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, hasn't Lord Xiao Yang already put a good spot?"

Yang Yude shook his head: "This son of evil is really too bold, but fortunately, there are very few casualties to cover up the past." ”

The staff hurriedly relieved: "It is also Lord Xiao Yang's great blessing, there is a mad Taoist priest who predicts that Shilizhuang will be flooded, and no one in the whole village will survive." Because the Taoist priest had shown several miraculous powers before, the people of the village were convinced, and a few days before the embankment burst, they all left one after another to take refuge. ”

Yang Yude sighed: "This matter can't be taken lightly, you rushed to Jingzhou overnight, and told Yang Mian that there have been many checkpoints recently, and those who want to go to Beijing must be carefully investigated, especially the people around Shilizhuang, and they must not be allowed to go." ”

It rained heavily for three days. It's just a matter of blinding the upper listening. In fact, it only rained heavily for half a day in Shilizhuang, and thinking of the rumors of a star and a little wind, Yang Yude couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The disaster in Shilizhuang was not serious, and the local officials handled it beautifully. Emperor Zhaofeng didn't pay much attention. The fourteenth year of Jingde's palace examination. As scheduled.

Soon after, good news came that Jiang Chen had become a hot nobleman in high school.

Tian was seriously ill. Zhen Miao still has to go to the banquet of Jian'an Bo Mansion.

Although Jiang Shi has always been calm, he can't hide the joy at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes at this time, and pulls his eldest daughter Zhen Ning to say small words, Zhen Miao sits on the side, and he can hear it clearly.

"Your cousin even understands the Yuan and Huiyuan, the emperor said that he is a champion, but this time the first three people, except for him, the two are in their thirties, and the other is in their forties, so you can't let the tanhua with a wrinkled face fold go to fold the flowers, right?" Jiang Shi was helpless and proud, and laughed, "In the end, I can only wronged your cousin." ”

It was precisely when Emperor Zhaofeng's words came out that Jiang Chen's limelight overwhelmed the new champion and became the hottest topic in Beijing.

"Then the threshold of our uncle's mansion will probably be broken by the matchmaker in the future." Zhen Ning said with a smile.

Jiang Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "Your uncle and aunt asked me to look at your cousin for you." ”

Jiang Chen is known as a prodigy in Nanhuai, since he went to Beijing for three years, he rushed to the big exam, and his family affairs were naturally mentioned after the big exam.

An ordinary son of a big family is completely different from a son of a family who has the name of Tanhua.

"With your cousin's current reputation, if my mother is not polite, it is Princess Shang."

Tanhua, who is less than 20 years old, may not be able to produce one in more than ten years.

"Mother!" Zhen Ning glanced at Jiang helplessly, "What is the identity of the princess, people like us can't climb high." ”

Mother is good at everything, but she is too attentive to her mother's family in Nanhuai, and she has always been a steady person, and she also said such frivolous words.

And now there is only one princess of the right age, Princess Fang Rou, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, and she has seen the little princess a lot of times.

Of course, Zhen Ning couldn't say this clearly, so he had to remind Jiang vaguely.

Jiang is actually just too happy, if she is really Princess Shang, she is afraid that she will be worried, hearing Zhen Ning say this, she immediately woke up, turned her head to Zhen Miao and said: "Miao'er, you young daughter-in-law, there are many little ladies in contact, and if there are good ones, pay attention to the eldest aunt." ”

Zhen Miao smiled and said yes.

When Zhen Ning heard this, his heart moved. Her sister-in-law Chongxi County Lord Yunying has not married so far, if she can match with her cousin, it will not only be a good couple, but also make her status in her in-law's family go to the next level.

"Auntie, nephew toasts you." Jiang Chen didn't know when he came, his cheeks were slightly red, as if he was not shallow, but his eyes were clear.

Jiang Shi drank all the wine in the cup and advised: "It's better to drink less, it hurts your body." ”

Jiang Chen nodded yes, saluted Zhen Ning again, and then looked at Zhen Miao: "Fourth cousin, drink this cup for my brother first." ”

Zhen Miao smiled and raised her glass: "Cousin Jiang, congratulations." ”

She smiled and spoke sincerely, but Jiang Chen didn't know why, she only felt that the wine that fell into her throat was bitter and astringent.

He quickly lowered his eyes, covered the feelings, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you fourth cousin." ”

He turned, toasted again, and returned to the antechamber.

Zhen Yan's husband Meng Yannian smiled: "I just looked for you, but I ran inside." ”

Luo Tianhui, who was sitting not far away, immediately pricked up his ears.

What is this guy doing inside, shouldn't he take the opportunity to see his daughter-in-law?

"I went and toasted my aunt." Jiang Chen smiled gently.

Meng Yannian raised his eyebrows: "I really didn't see it, you don't drink a lot, I don't think it will take long to drink another wine, so we don't need to block the wine." ”

Jiang Chen smiled: "The little brother doesn't drink well, he is already getting drunk, if there is really that day, I will need a few brothers to help me." ”

As soon as Luo Tianhuo heard Jiang Chen say that he was about to get drunk, he curled the corners of his mouth, and came over with a bowl: "Tanhualang, I toast you." ”

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on Luo Tianhui's hand. I couldn't help blinking.

He was really drunk, his eyes were already dazzled, and he actually regarded the wine glass as a rice bowl.

Luo Tianhui quietly picked up another bowl, poured a full bowl and handed it over: "Come, let's drink this cup full." ”

When Jiang Chen heard the word "cup", he secretly thought that he was really dazzled, in front of Luo Tianhuo, he didn't want to show weakness, so he stretched out his hand and took it, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is quite heavy." ”

Meng Yannian on the side said in his heart. This big bowl. Of course it's sinking, Jiang Chen's amount of wine is big enough, he has toasted a round of wine, and he can still drink it with a bowl.

Zhen Huan said with some concern: "Cousin Chen-"

Luo Tianhuo glanced at him lightly. smiled: "Big brother also wants to toast." That's going to be behind me. ”

He threw his head back and drank it down. lit up the bottom of the bowl and showed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had already drunk too much, and when he saw this, he picked up the bowl in a daze, raised his head and drank it.

"Good amount of wine." Luo Tianhuo praised.

"The prince has won the award-" Jiang Chen smiled. As soon as the hand was released, the bowl fell, and the whole person tilted to the side, and was hurriedly supported by Zhen Huan.

The bowl was about to fall to the ground, Luo Tianhuo stretched his legs, picked his toes, and the bowl returned to his hand, and glanced at Jiang Chen, who had his eyes closed, and said, "It seems that he drank too much." ”

Zhen Huan twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, you can see it!

"I'll help my cousin go back to the house and rest first."

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Meng Yannian touched his chin and said in his heart, this Tanhualang is also hard enough.

Luo Tianhuo suddenly felt refreshed, turned around to leave, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Lord Wang?"

King Anjun smiled and said, "Luo Shizi, this king has been looking for you for a long time. ”

Originally, Luo Tianhuo didn't have any dislike for King Anjun, but since he found out that he and Jun Hao were incompatible, his favorability plummeted like diving.

He raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling: "What is the prince looking for me?" ”

Originally, this banquet, Jian'an Bo Mansion did not give a post to the king of Anjun, but the people insisted on coming, and they were also involved in the kinship of the county lord of Jiaming, Luo Tianhuo was very unhappy when he thought of this.

"Drinking, of course."

Luo Tianhuo handed over the bowl that he had just picked up on his toes: "The prince is a cheerful person, so let's drink it happily." ”

King Anjun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Luo Shizi is happy!" ”

He swept his eyes and said to Meng Yannian: "Full for this king and Luo Shizi!" ”

Meng Yannian became entangled with the wine jug.

That bowl just licked Luo Shizi's shoes, did Luo Shizi forget it, or did he forget it?

"Who is this little brother, why is he so grinding and chirping, don't worry, I don't need you to drink!" King Anjun was dissatisfied.

Meng Yannian secretly sneered, and immediately poured the wine full for King Anjun, and said in his heart, no matter whether Luo Shizi forgot it or not, he forgot it anyway!

Luo Tianhuo touched the bowl with King Anjun, and when he saw him looking up and drinking, he was in a good mood and drank it all with a smile.

Here, Zhen Huan helped Jiang Chen into the house, and asked the little maid to bring the sobering soup to persuade him to drink it.

After Jiang Chen finished drinking, he slowly squatted down holding his stomach and remained silent for a while.

Zhen Huan sighed: "Since you can't drink so much, why bother." ”

Jiang Chen half-raised his head: "Today's wine, there is no reason to excuse it." ”

"Cousin Chen, you are too sincere. I should be worried about what you're going to get drunk on that day. ”

"Big joy? Isn't this my big day? Jiang Chen asked dizzily and confusedly.

Zhen Huan smiled: "I mean, wait for the day you get married." ”

"Marry?" Jiang Chen shook his head a little sluggishly, "I don't want to marry." ”

Zhen Huan only said drunk words, and said funny: "Cousin Chen, you are not too young, and you have reached high school to explore flowers, how can there be any reason not to marry." ”

"But......" Jiang Chen was not lightly drunk, and his speech was intermittent, "but I don't want to marry ......"

"Why?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyes, drunk and hazy: "Because...... There is a man in my heart ......"

He squinted at Zhen Huan, for fear that he would misunderstand: "It's a girl......"

Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing, and was a little excited: "Of course I know it's a girl." Cousin Chen, tell Cousin Sù, who is your sweetheart? ”

If he could, he would be willing to help them with a lover and help them finally become married.

"Yes......" Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, I can't say." ”

"Why can't you say that? If you don't say it, how will others know? ”

Jiang Chen rubbed his eyes and asked stupidly, "Why do others know?" ”

"I don't know, so how do you go about proposing? Cousin Chen, I'm afraid that the person who proposed to you in the future will break through the threshold, if you are embarrassed to say it, then you will miss it. ”

Jiang Chen kept shaking his head: "You can't go to propose." ”

Zhen Huan hated that iron could not become steel: "Cousin Chen, with your current conditions, a noble girl, everyone is beautiful, I am afraid that there are not many people who will reject you, since you are interested, you must always give it a try, otherwise wouldn't you regret it for life?" ”

Jiang Chen tilted his head, thought about it seriously, and asked, "Is it okay for her to get married?" ”

"Of course-" Zhen Huan suddenly woke up and gasped, "No! ”

His expression became solemn: "Cousin Chen, aren't you joking?" ”

"I'm not kidding. Cousin Huan, you actually know that—"

Zhen Huan immediately took a few steps back and hurriedly said, "Cousin Chen, you drank too much, take a good rest, I'll go ahead and say something." ”

After speaking, he ran away without looking back, leaving Jiang Chen to mutter: "But I won't tell you who she is, I have to try to forget her......"

After Zhen Huan rushed out, the wind blew and he was a little frightened.

Cousin Chen's sweetheart is actually a married woman, and he still knows him-

Help, he knows too few women, either his sister or his cousin, what should he do?

Zhen Huan suddenly didn't dare to think deeply.

April is a particularly lively season, and it is the annual pear blossom banquet held by the eldest princess's mansion.

Zhen Miao took the post, and originally wanted to push it: "It's all some little girls, and the second aunt is still sick-"

The old lady said: "It's because your second aunt is not lightly ill that you should go over and take a look." ”

"Huh?"

"You go and see if there is a suitable little lady to tell Erlang for your grandmother." The old lady sighed, "It doesn't matter if you are a family, as long as you have a good temperament and are quiet." While your second aunt can still hold on, settle the family affairs as soon as possible, and Erlang can also take care of it. ”

Zhen Miaoxin said, she better don't do evil, Erlang is rotten from the roots, and there is no way to rescue him, and whoever deserves him will be ruined.

However, since the old lady opened her mouth, thinking that she could still see the county lord of Chongxi, Zhen Miao readily agreed.

When I arrived at the pear orchard of the eldest princess's mansion, it was still dense with trees and flowers, and the spring was beautiful, Zhen Miao and those ladies finished socializing, and they were pulled by the county lord of Chongxi to take a walk.

The little ladies dressed in fancy clothes got together in twos and threes, and when they were tired of walking, they all sat on the wooden piers under the trees and chatted.

"Have you heard, the Qin Gongzi has also arrived today, and he will play the piano when the time comes."

I don't know who brought up this topic, and it suddenly became lively.

Zhen Miao was a little puzzled, and asked the county lord of Chongxi: "This Qin Gongzi, who is sacred, how can he be very famous?" ”

Chongxi County Lord glanced at her: "What have you been doing these days, you haven't even heard of Qin Gongzi?" (To be continued......)
