Jiang Mengluo explained them one by one, and Jiang Chengyi nodded in response and relieved. In early spring, the cold wind rises. The begonias in the courtyard sprouted new shoots, just like the current situation, and new machines slowly sprouted branches.

Half a month later, the Chengge Cliff led the army back to the court, the army entered the Luoyang City Gate, the people of the city were welcomed by the people, the Chengge Cliff sitting on the black sideburns and brown body of the fierce horse looked into the city, only to see a black oppressive people cheering and waving at them, he could have ridden on the street to accept the people's congratulations, but he still turned over and got off the horse, and walked to Nangong with the generals to meet the Son of Heaven to report on the frontier military and government.

At this time, after Jiang Chengyi learned that Chengge Cliff had returned, he went to the city government with a congratulatory gift to wait.

When the general returns to the court, hundreds of officials congratulate each other, the Son of Heaven inquires, enters the court to discuss politics, and reports the military situation, and it takes several months to come and go. Jiang Chengyi accompanied him to Chengge Cliff and traveled with him every day. Recommended by the general to meet the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials in the court, Jiang Chengyi's decent words and deeds above the court made Ning Nan's eyes blue, and Emperor Wei praised Jiang Chengyi in front of all the ministers for his unparalleled wisdom and talent, and he was really a great official. The emperor was happy, and all the ministers were happy, and they congratulated the Son of Heaven on finding a good talent.

When the Son of Heaven talked about merit and rewarded meritorious generals, he was taken by the Chengge Cliff. Jiang Chengyi expected the reward of the Son of Heaven, but he did not expect that Emperor Wei would directly make him an official and a prince, ranking among the three dukes. This is the Great Wei Dynasty has never had the promotion of the official, no one has this honor, that is, even the ancestors of the Cao family who have fought on the battlefield for many years are also full of military achievements, amazing political achievements, and for the founding fathers of the country were directly named the Great Sima by Taizu.

This reward caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and the ministers played against it one after another, but they were suppressed by Emperor Wei one by one, and even Ning Zheng suppressed these tides of opposition for the Son of Heaven. So the ministers did not dare to continue to discuss the matter.

Jiang Chengyi was pushed to the forefront for a while and became the target of public criticism.

In fact, all the ministers did not expect that Ning Zheng would support Jiang Chengyi's promotion to the position of Taifu, and his move could not help but attract a lot of suspicion and criticism for Jiang Chengyi, and also attracted everyone's envy and jealousy.

Jiang Mengluo knew the significance of Ning Zheng's move, so she was even more worried about Jiang Chengyi's situation. Ning Zheng's support for Jiang Chengyi with such fanfare was just to drive a wedge between him and Emperor Wei. Of course, Emperor Wei Ning Nanquan is not a faint monarch, so he naturally understands what he means, but he is suspicious by nature, and it is inevitable that he will be suspicious of the Water Pavilion, and the fact that the talisman has not been handed over to him before makes him feel a little uncomfortable, so that Emperor Wei will inevitably test Jiang Chengyi from time to time, if the emperor can't work together with the Water Pavilion, then the hidden arrow on Ning Zheng's side is simply unguardable.

Moreover, Emperor Wei's direct promotion to Jiang Chengyi's official position was his temptation of Jiang Chengyi, the crown prince Ning Wuheng was eight years old when he was eight years old, and Jiang Chengyi was eight years old, rich in learning, and good at talking about Confucianism and Taoism, and was well-known in the literary world, and widely distributed protégés in the land of Great Wei. This time, he is famous all over the world because of the advice of the Chengge Cliff, and he is indeed the best candidate for the Taifu at the moment, but he is very young, only twenty-five years old. At this time, if Jiang Chengyi is still of good character, he will definitely be able to rely on his own talents to calm down criticism.

Moreover, the greater the responsibility of being in a high position, every step needs to be cautious, there are people who are not satisfied with Emperor Wei waiting to correct mistakes, and there is a steady stream of bright swords and hidden arrows from Ning Zheng's faction. Rather than letting Jiang Chengyi take on a small position, it is better to maximize the use of his talents and deter others with a predicament, so that neither he nor Shui Ge dare to be arrogant.

Jiang Chengyi was not worried about himself, and after being crowned official, he only thought about how to organize the first banquet of the Jiang family in Beijing, this banquet must be held, but the current situation cannot be held in a big way, otherwise it will be even more reprehensible.

Jiang Mengluo knew that this banquet was organized by her cousin for her, if it weren't for her, this banquet would not have been held. The cousin tried every means to let her meet Ning Nan, and she was speechless to persuade her.

In the late spring of March, Jiang Chengyi moved to Luoyang with a housewarming, and the wedding banquet for the completion of the repair of the Jiang Mansion invited the ministers, Huai Wang Ning Zheng and his three sons were among them, and the prince was a disciple of the Taifu, and also sent officials into the Jiang Mansion to celebrate Mr., and the Jiang Mansion became the most lively place that day.

Jiang Mengluo was dressing up in the inner house quite far away, and she could hear the sound of drums and pianos in the outer hall from a distance, and for some reason, she suddenly felt bored, so she slipped out of the backyard while Qianshan was looking for Qin Ye's pulse for her.

She slipped out of the west hall, intending to climb out of the Jiang Mansion from the low wall behind the courtyard, so she jumped and leaped between the wall tiles with light skills, and was about to fly out of the mansion after a few jumps, but at this time she heard someone suddenly shouting, "Who is presumptuous in the Taifu Mansion?!" ”

Jiang Mengluo's feet almost didn't stabilize the green tile, but fortunately, she was a little annoyed when she received it in time, and suddenly felt that there was a palm wind behind her, so she immediately dived around and deftly dodged the man's attack. The person behind him was stunned, as if he didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who could escape his palm.

She turned around and faced the man, almost falling down from the wall in fright, and by coincidence, she happened to meet Ning Zheng and his party who were walking and talking with Jiang Chengyi. It was Rui Wang Ning Nan who attacked her.

Ning Nan Wei naturally didn't know who Jiang Mengluo was, seeing her beauty, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Jiang Mengluo took advantage of his stunned moment, and immediately wanted to escape, but Ning Nan Wu suddenly reacted and attacked her again, so the two fought on the tile wall.

Jiang Mengluo's body is so fast that Ning Nanwu didn't expect it at all, she has no feminine weakness, her martial arts are extremely high, the two of them fought empty-handed for a few reincarnations, Ning Nanwu didn't take advantage of it, he rose into the air, spun around in the air, and wanted to turn to her back to control when Jiang Mengluo was not paying attention, but he didn't expect the woman's feet to lightly, and she turned around and skillfully staggered with him, and then turned around and quickly hid behind Jiang Chengyi.

Ning Nan was a little annoyed, turned over between the tile walls, and then attacked Jiang Mengluo again. At this time, Jiang Chengyi hurriedly stopped, "Please also ask King Rui to calm his anger, this is the little sister in the next family, she has always been used to messing around, and there are no rules..."

Jiang Mengluo clung to the clothes on Jiang Chengyi's back, hid behind and slowly calmed down her mood, and Ning Zheng and his party all looked at her suspiciously.

Ning Nan was naturally surprised, he never expected that Jiang Chengyi's sister would have such a strong martial arts.

With a cold face, he stepped forward expressionlessly and hugged his fists, "It's lonely and abrupt, I thought it was a thief who broke into Taifu's mansion, but I never thought it was Taifu's sister." ”

"What didn't you expect, since I can move freely in Jiangfu, you should think that I am from Jiangfu... I think you did it on purpose. Jiang Mengluo emerged from behind Jiang Chengyi, looked dissatisfied, and said bluntly.

Jiang Chengyi couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her pretending, but he still held back his smile and said with a serious face, "Hugh is presumptuous!" Why don't you come forward and bow to the kings? Such gibberish. It's true that I spoil you too much on weekdays. ”

Jiang Mengluo pretended to be the first time to see her brother shouting so angrily, her eyes widened, tears were in her eyes for a moment, and she had to listen to her brother's words, she bowed down dejectedly, and said in a submissive and weak tone, "The Jiang family girl is good, meet your kings, the Jiang family women are rude, please forgive the kings." ”

After she saluted Ning Zheng and his three sons one by one according to the etiquette system, she retreated behind Jiang Chengyi and stood obediently with a straight posture.

Ming King Ning Nanqing and King De Ning Nankun were staring at Jiang Mengluo intently. The beauty of this woman is the best they have never seen, beautiful and moving, bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate lips, so bright and delicate that people are happy when they see it, and it is difficult to hide that their hearts are ready to move.

Ning Zheng stood aside and coughed lightly, and the two of them turned their gazes back slightly.

"Sister Taifu, martial arts is so strong, it makes the widow a little surprised, the widow's son Ning Nan is useless, but this martial arts is the first person in Luoyang, but he never thought that his sister could be unharmed under him." Ning Zheng's face was slightly cold, and his eyes looked at Jiang Chengyi like a scrutiny, as if he was uncomfortable.

"King Huai praised it falsely, presumably King Rui was merciful to his little sister's subordinates, otherwise with Little Sister's three-legged cat kung fu, he would have been subdued by King Rui a long time ago." Jiang Chengyi's face was not shocked, his smile was dazzling, he didn't seem to care whether King Huai was happy or not, and he complimented him, but he firmly protected Jiang Mengluo behind him.

Ning Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked into the distance, and did not speak. Jiang Chengyi saw that he didn't speak, and said, "Please also move to the main hall of the front hall, the guests will gather, the banquet will begin, Jiang Mou looks forward to drinking and chatting with you." ”

Ning Zheng didn't even look at him, his face was disdainful, and he brushed his sleeves away, and his third son followed, leading to the front hall under the guidance of the servants of the Jiang family.

Jiang Chengyi fell behind, and when the four of them walked away, he pulled Jiang Mengluo and said with a smile, "I don't know when you will be so good at acting?" ”

Jiang Mengluo's face was slightly red, and she said helplessly, "It's probably the instinct to save your life, brother, don't laugh at me." ”

Jiang Chengyi didn't disturb the fear of King Huai and his party at all, but said with a smile, "It is estimated that in a few days, my brother-in-law will automatically come to the door... When the time comes, brother, I will prepare a generous dowry for you. ”

Seeing that he kept laughing, Jiang Mengluo's face turned red again, she knew that Jiang Chengyi must have thought that she had just made a scene in order to be able to see Ning Nanwu earlier, and jumped into their field of vision when the group of them came.

She couldn't help but sigh, thinking that she hadn't been so eager to behave before, why did her cousin think of her like this?

But she didn't bother to explain. So, glaring at him hard, facing him with the whites of his eyes, snorting disdainfully, and walked away.

Jiang Chengyi felt funny and helpless, shook his head to himself, and turned to leave.

The sun rises and sets, the air soaked in the skyline is always ever-changing, Jiang Mengluo sat and waited in the small pavilion in the courtyard of the west hall, staring at the thin river flowing in the garden quietly, not knowing what to think.

At this time, a soft call suddenly came from her ear, "Miss Jiang." ”

Jiang Mengluo was stunned, turned her head, and saw a middle-aged man in a simple robe bending down to salute her and standing in front of her.

She frowned slightly, "You are..."

"I am the housekeeper of the Rui Wang's Mansion, surnamed Ji, and our lord has asked the girl to move to the back garden of the rockery, and I want to apologize to the girl."
