Chapter 184: The Entangled Fate
Su Xuan was as if she had seen her for the first time, she was not thrilled, she didn't look much sad, but there was still a deep sadness in her eyes, and she greeted Jiang Xiaoyu generously: "Long time no see, Miss Jiang!" ”
"Are you okay these days?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!" Su Xuan smiled softly, "Are you also looking for Brother Zhao Ling?" My father came to the capital, these two days to accompany him around the capital, he came to meet the king of Chu, today Zhao Ling's brother is at home, I will come to see him by the way! ”
She was afraid that Jiang Xiaoyu would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to explain.
Those deep feelings are not gone, but they are buried deeper in her heart, and she is already a person who cannot be happy, so you must let the person you like be happy. As a woman's intuition, she could feel that the moment she saw Xiaoyu, Brother Zhao Ling's eyes were bright, and his heart must be extremely happy, so it was enough.
Let her take her dignity and love, say goodbye from his life, no matter whether the road ahead is thorns or hell, she needs to go on bravely, for the people she wants to protect!
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, but he didn't know how to talk to Su Xuan, whether it was comfort or blessing at this time, it seemed so hypocritical and useless.
"Do you still have something to discuss?" Su Xuan smiled, "Then I'll leave first!" ”
"It's not! I'm in no hurry! Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "It's better to stay for a while!" ”
"No! My father has a lot of acquaintances in the capital, and I want to rush to visit the next old man non-stop! If he has the chance, I'll come and talk to you again! Su Xuan said, it's not that she doesn't want to look at Zhao Ling a few more times, just looking at the apologies in the eyes of the two of them, she will remind herself of her misery, she doesn't want to see their apologies, she would rather look at them more heartlessly.
Su Xuan left gracefully, but Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling fell into silence, in life, although everyone may just be a passerby, but if they break into life, they will inevitably leave traces, and Su Xuan used her forbearance and freedom to leave an indelible impression in the hearts of Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling, although neither of them can take the initiative to mention it, but there will always be a moment when they think of it, and there will be a faint pain in their hearts.
Zhao Ling suddenly punched the pillar, and the incompetence he showed in Su Xuan's marriage made him angry and embarrassed, whether it was in front of Su Xuan or in front of Xiaoyu.
Jiang Xiaoyu gently hugged him from behind, did not speak, and comforted him in his own way.
After a long time, Zhao Ling let out a sigh, he held Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said softly, "I'm fine!" ”
He turned around and gently wrapped Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms: "Why did you come to me at this time?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu repeated Jiang Yuan's words to him, and said: "I don't know what my father means, but if this thing is true, then the six departments will fall into a chaos, and the impact on the three princes is especially great, our original intention is to muddy the water in the capital, so that it kills two birds with one stone, and the forces in the capital are reshuffled!" It's just that his father did this, which is equivalent to a complete break with the third prince, did he really make up his mind to lean on the side of the second prince? ”
Zhao Ling smiled faintly: "Although I broke with the third prince, it doesn't necessarily mean that I have taken refuge in the second prince, because I can also take refuge in Your Majesty and be a pure minister!" My father-in-law is really a smart man, he wants to take this opportunity to be His Majesty's courtier, and he will no longer be coerced by the second or third child, it seems that my father-in-law has considerable confidence in his ability! ”
When Zhao Ling's words fell, Jiang Xiaoyu also figured out Jiang Yuan's intentions, thought about it and said, "No matter what he thinks, this matter is only beneficial to us!" And I think it should be done as soon as possible! ”
"I'll arrange this!" Zhao Ling said, "Jiang Shuai already has a belly of fire in his stomach, so he should always be allowed to burn this fire!" ”
"Good!"
"By the way, I received the news not long ago, and the second child estimated that he would be back in the next few days!" Zhao Ling said, "The princess you are curious about is about to meet!" If the second child is unwilling, the imperial grandmother will not marry him, just see that this princess can enter his eyes! ”
"It's a good thing if there really is a girl who tells him to forget what happened before, but Yukimi girl ......"
"This is someone else's emotional matter, so don't meddle!"
"I'm not a person who can't figure it out!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I still have this bit of proportion!" ”
After Jiang Xiaoyu returned to Jiangfu, he first went to visit the old lady and told her about Jiang Yuan's situation in prison.
"What did he bring with him, what else did he say?" The old lady asked.
"Father told the old lady to take care of herself, saying that he would definitely be able to come out to reunite with her grandmother soon, so that grandmother must not worry!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
"That's right!" The old lady nodded slightly and said, "In your opinion, when will your father come out?" ”
"It's not for sure, but I can assure my grandmother that my father will come back safely!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.
"I don't ask for anything else, as long as he can come back safely, don't let my white-haired person send a black-haired person, I'll be satisfied!" The old lady sighed.
Everyone persuaded the old lady a few words, Jiang Xiaoyu asked the sixth aunt to prepare some things, and she would go to visit in two days, and the sixth aunt wiped her tears and nodded yes.
"In addition to the things you have prepared for your father, Aunt Six, you also have to prepare a gift!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I will let the third aunt prepare this gift, but I am afraid that you will send it in person when the time comes, it is the matter of getting married every month, I can't leave, I can only trouble you to go!" ”
This month, the sixth aunt only found out about the marriage in the past two days, but Jiang Xiaoyu has been going out early and returning late these days, and there is no time to really thank her, and Jiang Yuan has an accident, she is not easy to mention this kind of thing, and now Jiang Xiaoyu took the initiative to mention it, she said: "Yueyue is a poor child, it is her luck to meet the eldest lady, and now she can marry a lover!" It's just that the eldest lady is too much to say, I am Yueyue's aunt, and I should go there when she gets married! ”
"That's a good thing, I'm going to prepare a wedding present!" The third aunt said, "If there is anything else you need, sister, just tell me!" ”
"Yes!"
Although the old lady didn't like that their thoughts were not on Jiang Yuan's body, Jiang Xiaoyu was also present, and she couldn't say anything and endured it, and waved her hand with Mama Zhao, and Mama Zhao said: "The old lady's body is not feeling well, come back tomorrow, masters!" ”
Several people withdrew, discussed Yueyue's marriage again, and dispersed.
The next day, the court exploded again. A small official named Charter Sheng of the Ministry of Household reported the dereliction of duty of the Household Department Shangshu Jiangyuan, and there were many unclear places on it, and the difference in the Criminal Department alone was as high as two million taels a year, and I hope that the imperial court can thoroughly investigate this matter.
After that, Jiang Shuai wrote to ask the household department and the military department to reconcile the accounts, don't splash dirty water on the body of the Xiaoqi camp again, no matter whether it is right or wrong, there must be a clear statement, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world know!
As soon as Jiang Shuai went to the book, naturally there were other people who followed the book, asking the household department to clear the accounts, and every account had to have a clear statement, Emperor Zhou also seemed to realize some troubles under his nose, and it was one thing for him to pursue some things in the end, and it was another thing for him to know whether he knew it or not, so this matter continued to let Prime Minister Bai take the lead, and let several respected ministers in the court cooperate to check all the accounts of the household department!
It's just that everyone was dumbfounded when all the account books of the household department were moved to the courtyard, such a huge account, it really had to be calculated clearly, and I didn't know when to go, so in addition to a few suspected people in the household department, the other officials began to work day and night under the supervision of several adults.
At the same time, several other departments began to panic, and they went to the Three Princes' Mansion to discuss what to do, but the Three Princes did not see anyone else on the grounds of preparing for marriage, and in such a panic and noise, the time came to November and October in a flash.
Appropriate, marry.
The first prince was only nineteen years old when he died, and he had not yet married a wife, although the second prince had four in twenty, but I don't know why he still has no wife, but the three princes ran to the front of the second prince and married the concubine first.
The people don't know the changes in the court, they only know that this is a day for the whole country to celebrate, and they are naturally looking forward to watching the excitement and witnessing the happy events that the royal family has not had for a long time.
Everyone is talking about the marriage of the three princes, naturally no one remembers that this day is Jiang Xiaoyu's birthday, in fact, she herself may have forgotten that one day is her birthday, and the thing she has in her heart is also Su Xuan's marriage.
Zhao Ye and them are destined enemies, and they are already a life-and-death fate that cannot be escaped, just pulling Su Xuan into it will be even more unfair to her already unfortunate fate, and she will face more entanglements between Zhao Ye and Zhao Ling in the future.
She didn't know if Zhao Ling went to Su Xuan's wedding, whether she would watch herself enter a woman like her sister and enter an unfortunate fate, but she herself shamefully chose to escape, but she just sent gifts and did not come forward.
Night fell, and in the evening it snowed heavily, and in a short time the gray tiles were covered with a patch of silver.
Jiang Xiaoyu wrapped his cloak and looked at the cool moonlight by the window, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't get rid of Su Xuan and Zhao Ling.
"Miss!" Yanyan closed the window, "You're already afraid of the cold, so don't blow the wind!" Also, the second prince is here! ”
"What?" Jiang Xiaoyu was surprised, "Why is the second prince here?" ”
