Chapter 108: It's better to see you late than early

Although the other party said very vaguely, Lin Qianjun immediately guessed it, needless to say, this test question must have been obtained from Huang Hongyuan in the Ministry of Rites, Guan Lian is Huang Hongyuan's top boss, and it is easy for him to get the test questions.

The Lin brothers believed it, and Lin Qianyi next to him said again: "There is one more thing to make clear, we pay three thousand taels of silver, and this test question is not allowed to be given to anyone." ”

"Don't worry about this, I will also see people come, the Lin family is a wealthy family in Yongjing, and they have always been reputable, and the two sons are the top ten in Yongjing Gongjushi, and no one will doubt it if they pass the test, if the test questions are sold too much, my risk is also very large, in a word, there are fewer people and high prices, I will not give it to others, and you must also guarantee that you can't spread this matter."

"Are we stupid? This kind of thing will also tell others, well, we make a deal, and after the examination, we will pay you the money in full, and we will never break our promise. ”

The Plum Blossom Guard broker nodded, then said goodbye and left, the Lin brothers looked at this test question carefully, Lin Qianjun couldn't help but say with surprise in his heart: "I think this test question is real, I got it from Guan Xianju, it can't be fake." ”

"But I'm a little scared, what if the news gets out?" Lin Qianyi was relatively timid and was very worried.

"What are you afraid of when the family is on top?"

A fierce light flashed in Lin Qianjun's eyes, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "If we pass the exam, we must get rid of this broker and let him disappear from the world forever, and our fate cannot be held in the hands of others." ”

The two brothers carefully put away the test questions and left the room, and the layout of Huangfu Wujin closed the last button, and the next thing is to wait for the harvest time to come.

....... In the afternoon, the carriage of the Lanling County Wangfu stopped at the side gate of the Su Mansion, Jing Niang got off the carriage, Su Han's stepmother Zhou was already waiting here, she hurriedly greeted her and smiled: "I'm really sorry, I have to bother your princess to send something." ”

The coachman got out of the carriage and took out three large wicker baskets from the storage compartment behind the carriage, these three wicker baskets are the most famous Chenghu hairy crabs in Pingjiang County, which is the best first fish this year, only more than half a catty, it has always been a royal tribute, only the royal family above the county king can enjoy, it was just transported to the capital last night, the Lanling County Mansion was divided into ten baskets, and the princess specially ordered someone to give three baskets to Sufu.

Jing Niang Shi Li smiled: "This is a little bit of my princess's heart, please ask Madame to follow." ”

Zhou saw Jing Niang for the first time, and saw that she didn't look like a subordinate, it was estimated that she was a person in the inner courtyard of the palace, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

She hurriedly instructed her family to carry the crab in, and Jing Niang smiled again: "The princess asked me to take another look at the young lady, is it okay?" ”

This request is a bit inappropriate, the Su family has made a decision not to talk about Su Han's marriage before the head of the family returns, including not letting the two families see her, although it is a little inappropriate, but the Zhou family understands in his heart that Su Han likes Huangfu Wujin, and she also intends to fulfill her daughter, so she secretly makes the decision.

"Alright! You come with me. ”

Zhou took Jing Niang to the backyard, she saw that Jing Niang was very young, the same age as Su Han, although she was not as good as Su Han in terms of beauty, but her skin was white and delicate, but she had never seen it.

Zhou is also a smart person, the last time Princess Lanling chatted with her, she told her that the prince had not married a concubine for twenty years, and now he was old, and the young woman in the house only had a little granddaughter.

So this woman is definitely not the concubine of the king of Lanling County, so who is she? The son of the king of Lanling County also reads Lichengfu, and his wife and concubine do not live in the palace, is she the granddaughter of the county king?

But it's not like, the granddaughter of the king of Lanling County is famous for her love of dancing knives and sticks, this woman is very weak, not at all like practicing martial arts, could it be that she is the concubine of Huangfu Wujin?

It is very likely that she actually came to pass a message to Su Han on behalf of Huangfu Wujin.

Zhou has vaguely guessed the identity of Jing Niang, but she is not surprised, this is normal, not only the royal family, generally can marry concubines after obtaining honors, there is no one in the court who does not accept concubines, concubines do not have any status in marriage, and it will not become a topic of conversation for everyone, everyone cares about only the wife, and the wife is the head of the family.

"If I'm not mistaken, the girl is from the Wujin room!" Zhou asked with a smile.

Jing Niang can only be called a person in the room now, just like the identity of the person in the dream of the Red Mansion, before the wife enters the door, she is not allowed to marry a concubine, she is called a concubine internally, and she can only be called a person in the room externally.

Jing Niang's face flushed, she was not good at lying, so she had to nod and admit, "My surname is Bian, and I was originally a music girl." ”

Sure enough, she guessed by herself, but the other party's status as a musician made Zhou no pressure, what she cared about was whether there was anyone who would threaten her daughter's future status, such as whether Wujin had a close relationship with the daughters of other ministers, such as whether Wujin had been married to a young lady from a big family since he was a child, these are all very important.

But Zhou was embarrassed to ask too directly, so he asked with a subtle smile: "Is there anyone else around Wujin besides the girl?" ”

Jing Niang understood that she was asking if Wujin had any other wives and concubines, so she shook her head, "I am the only one who serves him, and I don't even have a maid." ”

Jing Niang's honesty made the Zhou family laugh too, at this time, they had walked to the embroidery building where Su Han lived, and happened to see Su Han swinging in the yard.

Since Luo Qiyu was convicted, Su Han has been grounded, and Su Mansion has not allowed her to go out, even her sister Su Yi and their personal maid Ah Qiao are not allowed to go out, which has made Su Han and Wujin lose contact, these days, Su Han is a little depressed, and there is no smile on her face.

She heard footsteps, and when she looked up, she saw her stepmother walking from outside the courtyard gate with a pretty young woman, and she quickly got up to greet her, "Mother! ”

Zhou stopped in front of the courtyard gate, pointed at Jing Niang and said with a smile: "This is someone from the Lanling County Palace, come to deliver something, and come to see you by the way." ”

Su Han was stunned for a moment, her eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly smiled: "Please come in!" ”

Zhou didn't want to be involved, she gave Su Han a look, and then smiled: "Girl, just chat, I still have some things, so I won't accompany you." ”

After speaking, she turned around and left, Jing Niang's heart was extremely nervous, she knew that this beautiful young woman in front of her would be Wujin's wife in the future, that is, her housemother, and even her future status, just if she could leave a good impression on this Miss Su today.

She walked into the courtyard and hurriedly bowed, "See Miss Su!" ”

Su Han was still puzzled by her stepmother's eyes just now, and her stepmother's eyes clearly told her that this woman's identity was unusual, could it be that she was sent by Wujin?

Su Han hurriedly returned the salute, then took her arm affectionately and smiled: "Let's go to the house to talk." ”

In any case, she was also panicked in her heart, and she was also very happy to have an outsider to talk to her.

She pulled Jingniang into her study, the two sat down, the maid Ah Qiao served them tea, Su Han asked her with a smile, "I don't know what to call the girl?" ”

"Miss Huiyu, my surname is Bian, my name is Bian Ruyu, my nickname is Jingniang, and I am from Ruyin County."

Jing Niang was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, she took out a letter and handed it to Su Han, "This is the son asked me to give it to Miss." ”

Su Han is so smart, she immediately understood that this woman is someone from Wujin's side, seeing that she is not dressed like a maid, and she looks so skinny like snow and beautiful like a flower, then she must be in his room.

Although Su Han also knew that with Wujin's current identity, it was normal to have a woman in the room, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, when Wujin was in Donghai County, she didn't even have a maid by her side, how could there be a woman after entering Beijing, and it was still in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart.

But she didn't show it on her face, it was just 'Oh! With a sigh, she threw the letter lightly on the table, her subtle movement frightened Jing Niang's face into a miserable white, and she knelt down suddenly, "Miss...."

Su Han was startled and hurriedly helped her up, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up, don't do this. ”

Jing Niang said with tears: "I know that Miss is angry, but I really can't blame Gongzi, it's all my fault." ”

She told Su Han about the misfortune in her family and asked Wu Jin for help, and finally she choked up and said: "I saw that my son has a good character and can be entrusted for life, so I am cheeky and committed to being his concubine." ”

Su Han is a kind-hearted woman, she heard Jing Niang's misfortune, her eyes were also a little sour, so she sighed and said: "I can see that you are a very good person, in fact, you take care of his life, I am also relieved, but I am a little annoyed with him in my heart, obviously he promised to write me a letter a day, but now it has been ten days, and he actually only writes one letter, so I am a little unhappy in my heart, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Su Han made an excuse to clear Jing Niang, she knew in her heart that since Jing Niang was already a person in the Wujin room, it was a fait accompli, and she had no choice, besides, she had not married Wu Jin, and she was not qualified to be angry about this kind of thing, Jing Niang was an honest person, so she was very afraid of herself and knelt down for herself, but if she was cunning, she could completely hold herself hostage.

Can't you restrain yourself just because you hate that guy? When I saw such a beautiful woman as Jing Niang, I couldn't help it, hum! I'll settle accounts with him later.

Su Han saw that Jing Niang was very honest and very good-looking, and more importantly, she was born in Le, and she would not replace herself no matter what, so she also accepted Jing Niang in her heart.

Su Han got up, took down a pipa from the wall, and said with a smile: "These are boring, I am also learning to play the pipa, you came just in time, teach me." ”

When Jing Niang saw Su Han like this, she obviously accepted herself, she was overjoyed, and quickly wiped away her tears and smiled: "Miss doesn't think my skills are rude, I will teach Miss every day in the future." ”

Su Han secretly praised her for being smart, this is a good idea, let her pretend to be a musician who comes to teach her to play the pipa, and she can come to deliver letters every day.

Thinking of the letter, Su Han couldn't help but look at the thin letter on the table, she was really a little annoyed, that guy obviously promised to write a letter to himself every day, it had been half a month, he had only written two letters to himself, where did his eldest husband promise?
