On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Yinzhen and Yinxiang, who had been away from Beijing for more than two months, finally set foot on the land of the capital, and it was reasonable for the Qin to return to Beijing when there were hundreds of officials to greet them, but when they stepped on the dock, they found that there were only a few low-grade officials waiting there, and they did not see the honor guard that the Qin Cha should have.

Yinxiang sneered and said to Yinzhen: "I see that they are not sick but unhappy. "He has always said something, never hidden, besides, this errand is not easy to do, the government and businessmen joined forces to stumble over the trap, although the most difficult thing was done, but their brothers also suffered a lot.

"Let them be." Yin Zhen stepped on the horse and said lightly: "Those salt merchants are inextricably linked with them one by one, and this time we are forcing salt merchants to donate in Jiangxi undoubtedly moved their interests, and it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable." Let's go, let's go to the palace and go to the emperor's fate. ”

"These eight lambs only have silver in their eyes, and one day they will spit out the money they have eaten!" Yinxiang scolded secretly, rode his horse to catch up with Yinzhen, and galloped towards the Forbidden City together, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Kangxi greatly appreciated them for raising two million silver in just over a month, and talked for a long time while staying in the palace for a banquet, until it was getting dark, and then ordered them to kneel down.

Jing Si was in the house, Ling Ruo read a book for a while after dinner, and felt a little tired so he called Mo Yu to come in to change her clothes and remove her makeup, Mo Yu smiled when she heard the words and said: "Master, you used to talk about Lord Belle every day, how did you forget that today is a big day for Lord Belle to return to Beijing, the slave maid heard that Lord Belle has come out of the palace at this moment, maybe he will come over later, if you remove your makeup and change your bedclothes, how can you greet it later?" ”

Ling Ruo smiled slightly, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and took off the pair of Hetian jade pendants carved in the shape of orchids on his earlobes and said, "Don't worry, Lord Belle will definitely not come over today." ”

"For what?" Mo Yu asked strangely, Lord Belle has always loved his master, but now he finally came back to see his master for the first time.

At this time, Li Wei happened to come in with stewed bird's nest, bird's nest has the effect of nourishing the skin, Ling Ruo will drink a cup before going to bed every day. Li Wei put down the bird's nest when he heard their conversation, flicked it on Moyu's forehead and said, "You, you have been by the master's side for so long, and you really haven't grown at all." ”

Mo Yu covered her reddish forehead and glared at him and said, "I don't know the Dao, do you know the Dao?" ”

"Of course I know." Li Wei glanced at her proudly, walked behind Ling Ruo and carefully took off the golden chisel hairpin in the middle of her hair for her, and said in his mouth: "The slave heard that he was able to raise silver taels this time, and Nian Qianyao made a lot of efforts before and after the saddle, he was originally a person under the fourth master, and was later transferred to Hangzhou as a general, this time the fourth master went to Jiangnan, and those salt merchants saw that the four masters were just a name for the Qin Poor in Jiangnan without roots and no foundation, so the officials and businessmen colluded to form a line, and refused to donate silver. But in this way, he offended General Hangzhou, and before he came back, General Hangzhou joined him and transferred troops privately, but he was pressed down by the emperor, and he also came with him when he returned to Beijing this time. With Yinzhen's return to Beijing, what they did in Jiangnan also spread to the capital, and some people applauded and gritted their teeth with hatred.

"Nian Qianyao?" Mo Yu only felt that this name was very familiar at first, as if he had heard it somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately remembered it, and blurted out: "Isn't that Nian Fujin's brother?"

Ling Ruo played with a wisp of green silk hanging on his chest and said, "Nian Fujin's elder brother has made such a great contribution, where do you say Lord Beile will go tonight?" ”

"Nian Fujin is there." Mo Yu pouted and reluctantly said the answer.

"Now that you know the way, why don't you remove my makeup for me? What's more, Lord Belle is back, are you still afraid that you won't have time to see you? Ling Ruo shook her head and stuffed the ivory comb into Mo Yu's hand, feeling a slight tingling coming from her scalp, but her eyes fell on the azure curtain of the rain, she actually ...... I really want to see Yinzhen!

Sleepless all night, the next morning when Wen Ruyan came over and was about to go to Chang Fujin with her to ask for peace, he laughed and hung two black circles under his eyes, and personally took the covered jade dew powder to cover the blue and black under her eyes for her.

"Sister, do you still plan to live a lonely life like this, and waste your good youth?" Ling Ruo couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Wen Ruyan was still dressed plainly as usual, Wen Ruyan would never lose to Ye Xiu and the others in terms of appearance and temperament, just because she didn't care about grace, so she was still just a character, and Yinzhen didn't have much impression of her. Lanyue Ju has so many different thoughts and leans into each other, although Ling Ruo sends some things over from time to time, Wen Ruyan's life is still not good. For this matter, Ling Ruo had persuaded her more than once, but every time Wen Ruyan just smiled and did not answer, it was unpredictable what she was thinking in her heart.

"I know that my sister has her own arrogance and doesn't want to be a tool for her family to seek glory and wealth, but even if it is not for them, my sister should think about it for herself." She persuaded bitterly, hoping that Wen Ruyan would change her original intention.

"Grace is not reliable, not to mention that Lord Belle already has someone in his heart." Wen Ruyan swiped the broken hair on her sideburns and said softly.

"The person in Belle's heart has already become someone else, even if it is difficult to give up now, there will be a day when he will let go; My sister said that grace is unreliable, but what about the heir? Doesn't my sister want to have a child of her own, watch him grow up, marry a wife and have children. Although Chang Fujin was treated very well, in Ling Ruo's heart, there was always only Wen Ruyan who could really be trusted without reservation, and she really didn't want to see her grow old like this for the rest of her life.

Wen Ruyan stared at her without saying a word for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing and saying, "Look at you, I'm in a hurry, okay, I won't tease you." ”

Ling Ruo was made more and more strange by her, and when she was puzzled, Su Yun came in with a pair of clothes and said, "Girl, the garment room has sent the clothes you wanted." ”

"Put it down." Wen Ruyan stopped laughing and said to Ling Ruo: "You are right, how can I not listen to it, as early as half a month ago, I sent the rose and purple brocade material you gave me to the garment room, it should have been sent yesterday, but they were in a hurry to make the clothes that Nian Fujin wanted, so it was pushed to the present, and when I asked Su Yun to ask early this morning, they said that it would be good if there were still a few stitches, so I asked Su Yun to wait there, and once it was done, it would be brought to you immediately, and it was finally in time." ”

"Okay, Sister Dare was deliberately teasing me just now? Hum! Ling Ruo reacted at this time, pretending to be angry and ignoring Wen Ruyan, in fact, she was happier than anyone else. Yinzhen never belonged to her alone, since she was destined to share her husband with others, she would rather that person be Wen Ruyan.

Wen Ruyan smiled and wrenched her shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, good sister, it's my fault, it's my fault, don't be angry with me anymore, okay?" It's almost time to go and ask Lord Belle and Chang Fujin to say goodbye, and I haven't changed my clothes yet! ”

"Okay, I'll spare you this time, and I won't make an example!" Although he tried to keep his face straight, his eyes were full of smiles.
