Chapter 64: The Transformation Wave Festival
After Lu Kang left in embarrassment, Fei Maozhong finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said angrily: "How can this be true, King Ning deceived people too much, and even asked someone to come to the door to propose marriage, the uncle was killed by them, then Lu Kang is not a good person!" β
Fei Maoxian said in a deep voice: "It's really too much, it's shameless, the third sister will never marry the prince of King Ning." β
Xu Jin said calmly: "Don't be impatient when the people are offered by the people, in my opinion, King Ning doesn't really want to propose!" β
Fei Maozhong and Fei Maoxian were stunned for a moment, the matchmaker came to the door, why didn't they really propose marriage?
A flash of approval flashed in Fei Hong's eyes, although his two sons are older than Xu Jin, but when it comes to calm practice, they are far inferior to Xu Jin, this son is a personal essence, if it weren't for his age and appearance, Fei Hong sometimes had to suspect that this kid was an old fritter with rich life experience.
"Brother Xu, I don't understand a little, why don't you say that King Ning really wants to propose?" Fei Maoxian was puzzled.
Xu Jin explained: "At present, the Fei family and King Ning are like fire and water, and it is impossible to reconcile, King Ning obviously knows this, but he also asked the Lu Governor's Mansion to come to the door to ask for marriage, and the object of the marriage is still the third girl, so the real purpose is actually the Lu Governor's Mansion, and by the way, warn the Fei family!" β
After all, Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong were born in a family of eunuchs, and they still have the consciousness of officialdom and politics, and they couldn't help but suddenly realize that they dared to love King Ning and let Lu Kang be a matchmaker, not really asking to marry the third sister, but to let Lu Kang show loyalty, which is equivalent to handing in a letter of nomination, and by the way, warn the disgusting Fei family.
Fei Hong stroked his beard lightly and said: "Xiao Xu's analysis is very correct, so the old man has already warned Lu Kang just now, and it depends on how he chooses, it's just ...... Xiao Xu, I'm afraid I'm going to affect you! β
Xu Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, today Lao Fei has offended the Lu Governor's Mansion, and as Lao Fei's protΓ©gΓ©, he naturally stands on the opposite side of Lu Kang.
Fei Maozhong snorted coldly: "Xu Jin is the head of the county test, and it is the rule that he must pass the government test, so I don't believe that Lu Kang dares to break the rules!" β
Fei Hong shook his head secretly, Minshou is still too young, he doesn't know the sinister nature of officialdom, as long as he can overthrow the opponent, let alone bad rules, he can use any dark tricks behind his back.
β¦β¦
Lu Kang walked out of the gate of Fei's house in embarrassment, and when the cold wind blew in the face, he couldn't help but shiver, and he felt that his underwear was soaked with cold sweat.
"In the company of thieves, he will cause trouble to the nine clans in the future, and he will be stinking for 10,000 years, so he can do it himself!"
Fei Honggang's words are still echoing in his ears, Lu Kang can get mixed with the prefect, his IQ is naturally not bad, King Ning's reaction has been revealed, and normal people can see it, so relying on King Ning is equivalent to staking all his life.
If King Ning's rebellion succeeds in the future, it will be fine, from the dragon's work, soaring, but if it fails, it will be a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan!
If you can, Lu Kang really doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, how good it would be to be a prefect honestly, as the so-called three-year Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, the silver is collected, the concubine is accepted, and the life is moist and risk-free, but Fei Hong ran to Shangrao County, and he didn't want to be involved.
King Ning Shizi personally came to the door to win over, how dare Lu Kang not be attached, Song Yifang, the prefect of Nanchang, is a lesson from the past, and now he is still being imprisoned by King Ning.
Lu Kang hesitated for a moment before getting into the soft sedan chair and instructed the sedan chair driver to go to the residence of Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning.
The temporary residence of Prince Ning is also in the north of the city, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour to arrive.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the officials are incompetent, and Elder Fei Ge directly rejected the Prince's proposal!" When Lu Kang saw King Ning, he wiped his sweat and said cautiously.
Brother Zhu, the son of King Ning, is in his early twenties this year, with a tall figure and a dignified appearance, after all, he is the species of the old Zhu family, and the family has married beauties for generations, and his genes have been improved from generation to generation, so his appearance will not be too bad.
Prince Ning had already expected this result, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's hard to go to Governor Lu's mansion!" β
Lu Kang hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's hard work!" β
"What did the old puppet say?" King Ning asked casually.
"This ...... The lower officials dare not say it! Lu Kang said in a sneering voice.
King Ning Shizi snorted coldly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, this prince has long expected that this old man will not have anything good to say!" β
"That...... He said that the good daughter of the Fei family is not worthy of ...... Ningwang dog! After Lu Kang finished speaking, fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
Click......
The prince of Ning Wang cut off a branch of a precious camellia that was being pruned, and Lu Kang was so shocked that his heart was beating.
Ning Wang Shizi put down the scissors and said with a smile: "The government examination will be held in two days, I hope that the Lu Governor's Mansion can give the palace some talents, my father is thirsty for talent!" β
Lu Kang said with a smile: "King Ning is really a rare virtuous king, and the lower officials should serve themselves!" β
"Governor Lu still has to prepare for the government examination, so this son will not delay your time!" Ning Wang Shizi picked up the scissors and continued to prune, the meaning is obvious, you can get out of here now!
Lu Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously retreated.
King Ning cut off a bright camellia, put it under his nose and smelled it, then crumpled it and threw it on the ground, sneering: "The good daughter of the Fei family is not worthy of Ning Wang's dog, when the father and the king raise troops in the coming day, this son will taste the women of your Fei family one by one!" β
β¦β¦
Fei Mansion Inner House.
"Oh no, the prince of King Ning, the prefect of Lu, came to the door to propose to the third girl!" Yahuan watched the chess and shouted as she ran in.
Bang Dang......
The bird's nest red bean soup in Fei Ruyi's hand fell out of his hand, and the exquisite porcelain bowl was smashed on the spot, her pretty face was so white that there was no blood, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Fei Xiaoyu and Fei Jixiang were both taken aback, and the former exclaimed: "Watching chess, if you dare to talk nonsense, this girl will slap your mouth!" β
Guanqi stuck out his tongue and said: "The slave didn't say nonsense, it was the second young girl's little maid Mingyan who said it, but don't worry, the third girl should not worry, the master has already sternly refused, and he also kicked out the Lu Governor's Mansion!" β
Fei Jixiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Fei Xiaoyu patted her chest and said: "Dead girl, I was almost scared to death by you, half of the words are hidden and half are hidden, third sister, it's okay, how could my father agree to King Ning's proposal." β
Fei Ruyi's pale face instantly returned to blood, and he glanced at Yahuan Guanqi in annoyance, and the latter stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
Fei Jixiang said indignantly: "King Ning is really shameless, he even dares to ask someone to come to our house to propose marriage, and he still wants to marry the third sister......
"Ahem, ahem!" Fei Xiaoyu coughed a few times to remind him, and Fei Jixiang hurriedly shut up, because the uncle was killed by a thief sent by King Ning.
Fei Ruyi gritted her teeth, when she thought of her father being cruelly dismembered by thieves, her heart was like a knife, and she couldn't help but hate King Ning because of her docile temperament, King Ning's fang is really hateful, and the deception is too much!
β¦β¦
It was already late when Xu Jin came out of Fei Mansion, and the family Ding Dabao carried a lantern to send him all the way back to his residence in Xishi.
At this time, the haggis shop has already opened the ocean, and the lights of the inner house can be vaguely seen, Xu Jin's heart is warm, Xiao Wan must still be waiting for her to come back, and it is estimated that she is doing needlework under the lamp at this time.
Sure enough, Xu Jin walked outside the courtyard gate, and before he could knock on the door, he heard brisk footsteps from inside, and the courtyard door opened with a bang.
"Xianggong, you're back!" Xie Xiaowan probed out, and when she saw Xu Jin standing outside the door, she immediately smiled her eyes into crescent moons.
Xu Jin stretched out his hand and flicked Xiao Wan's forehead, and teased: "Girl, have you been listening to the movement with your ears pricked up, every time you don't knock on the door, you will know, just like a cat catching a mouse!" β
Dabao, who was carrying the lantern, couldn't help but laugh, Xu Gongzi is such an interesting person!
Xie Xiao's pretty face was slightly hot, he glanced at Xianggong, and said to Dabao behind: "Dabao, do you want to come in and sit?" β
Dabao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, it's getting late, and the little one has to go back to his life!" β
Xie Xiaowan took out the Wuwen Fortress and gave it to Dabao, who hurriedly excused himself and ran away with a lantern.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Since this kid doesn't want it, then let him go, let's go in!" After speaking, he naturally took Xiao Wan's hand.
Several pepper trees in the yard have grown a lot taller, all of them are full of small peppers, and some of them have even faintly turned red, Xu Jin picked one when he passed by, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly.
After 500 years of time and space, it still tastes like spicy!
"Xiaowan, do you want to taste it?" Xu Jin smiled and handed over the half-bitten chili pepper.
"I don't want it, it's too spicy!" Xie Xiaowan hurriedly shook her head and refused, a few days ago, the little slave picked a red one, and thought it was delicious when she saw it so bright, but after taking a bite, her lips almost didn't swell into sausages.
Xu Jin thought of the appearance of the little slave, couldn't help laughing, and asked casually, "The little slave is sleeping?" β
Xie Xiaowan nodded, and said with some concern: "The little slave was naughty during the day today, her head was broken, and she bled a lot, so she fell asleep early in the morning!" β
Xu Jin frowned and said, "How could you hit your head, it doesn't matter, right?" β
"I fell off the stool and hit the table, I have asked the doctor to see it, but fortunately it is fine!" Xie Xiaowan said with palpitations.
It turned out that the little slave was talking about eagle shooting in the store today, and this kid was so excited that he jumped on the stool, and the scholar Brother Jing performed the eighteen palms of the dragon, and the result was tragic!
After listening to Xiao Wan's story, Xu Jin was angry and funny, and went into the room to visit, and found that the little slave was sleeping deeply, fortunately the wound was on the side of the head, otherwise the beautiful little face that made women jealous would be ruined.
Xu Jin covered the little slave tightly, touched his forehead again, and confirmed that he had no fever, so he retreated lightly out of the room. As soon as he withdrew, the little slave opened his eyes cunningly, daring to love this kid pretending to be asleep.
Xie Xiaowan complained while dressing Xu Jin: "Xianggong, I heard that there are nest bandits in Leadshan County, and the price of our medicinal materials here has risen, especially the wound medicine, people ran all over the West Market today and didn't buy the Jinchuang medicine to stop bleeding, fortunately, I remember that Miss Fei gave us a bottle of imperial wound medicine last time, otherwise I don't know what to do!" β
Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, there was a war in Leadshan County, and the officials and soldiers wouldn't buy all the wound medicine in Shangrao County, right?
At this moment, the neighing of horses came from the street, which was heard very clearly in the quiet night, and there was a faint sound of rolling wheels.
Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly wonder, it's so late, hasn't the carriage and horse shop hit the ocean yet? At this time, the gates are closed!
