King Yi entered Beijing at dusk on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and as early as a few days in Gyeonggi Panhuan, King Xin, who was waiting for King Yi to return to Beijing first, returned to the capital before noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year. So on the third day of the first lunar month, the emperor who sealed the annual leave suddenly became busy, met Zheng Jin in the morning, and rushed to see Zheng Ying who rushed back to the capital after lunch.

Zheng Jin came back by himself, Zhao Zhiliang was not detained into Beijing, but Zheng Ying was different, Cui Wenju was directly locked in the prison car by him and escorted all the way back. Zheng Ying's work really did not disappoint Xie Xiangyi, Cui Wenju's case of privately opening a mine was indeed unsubstantiated, but the military salary deficit case he was carrying was turned over by Zheng Ying.

Not only that, a few years ago, the general of Jueyun Guan, who inexplicably carried the black cauldron, was overturned by Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying is extremely careful and careful, of course he can't hide the detention of Cui Wenju, but what he found out about Cui Wenju has been kept secret, so until Zheng Ying took Cui Wenju into Beijing, Wen Chengping thought that Cui Wenju was detained because of the crime of privately opening a mine in the imperial history.

The matter of privately opening a mine is indeed a false accusation, Wen Chengping himself has already sent someone to Qin Fenglu to verify, so he is not nervous at all, he has even discussed with Li Xiang, and wants to use this case to make Zheng Ying, the king of letters, suffer a loss.

The prince who can't understand the case, how can he be up to the task?

Therefore, on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, I heard that Zheng Ying had entered Beijing, Wen Chengping did not delay at all, and went directly to Li Xiang's mansion to "pay New Year's greetings".

Wen Chengping has been staying at Li Xiang's house until it was dark, he went directly to the back house after returning home, and after discussing with his wife for a while, the husband and wife agreed to enter the palace for Mrs. Wen and Wen Meiqing on the second day to visit Concubine Wen in the palace.

On the third day of the new year, Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin, who had just returned to Beijing, were also very busy, and after they met the emperor separately, they all went to Yuyang Palace to ask the queen mother for peace, and the queen mother, who missed her two sons, directly left Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin in the palace.

On this day, the emperor went to Yuyang Palace to accompany the queen's mother, because it was during the Chinese New Year, he did not recruit important ministers into the palace, but just recruited Yu Chengqi, who was on duty, to come over and "play chess for a while" with him.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the whole Beijing was peaceful and calm, and the only mansion that seemed a little noisy was not a bystander's house, but the mansion of the university scholar Gu Zhengze, because on this day, Mu Chengxin, the general of Youzhou, came to the door with his wife in person and proposed to his eldest nephew Mu Zhengyi.

Mu Chengxin personally came to the door to propose marriage for General Xiao Mu, which made Gu Daxue and his wife very surprised, but they did not refute the face of Mu Chengxin and his wife in person, only said that Gu Yilan's parents were not in Beijing, and about Gu Yilan's marriage, it was not good for them to be grandparents to make decisions directly over the parents of the ninth sister, and they still had to discuss it with their son and daughter-in-law before they could reply.

Although there was a suspicion of shirking this, the reason was very sufficient, so that Mu Chengxin and his wife, who came to the door with gifts, couldn't find out the reason.

After all, the husband and wife just came to the door in advance to discuss with the girl's elders, not to officially come to the door with the official media to propose marriage, and it is also appropriate to give people a time to consider. Considering the mood of the Gu family, Mu Chengxin and his wife were very considerate and did not stay in the Gu Bachelor's Mansion for long, but only sat down for a tea time and left.

Mu Chengxin and his wife had nothing to do, and after making their intentions clear, they happily said goodbye and left. They left, but the two of them were stunned by the residual tea that was entertaining, and they didn't leave the Gu family's small flower hall for a long time.

The old couple is like this, you look at me, I look at you, I really don't know what to say. They really didn't expect that Mu Chengxin came to the door today, and he actually proposed to Mu Zhengyi, but they were really at a loss.

"Now you're happy," After a long time, Senior Scholar Gu snorted coldly at his old wife: "Last year, I said that there are six beautiful young men in the Anguo Mansion, and you will be happy to be your grandson-in-law any of them."

"Having said that...... Mrs. Gu slowly frowned: "But...... But I never expected that they would actually take a fancy to the ninth sister. It's good for anyone, the sixth sister, the seventh sister and the tenth sister are all in agreement, and they haven't agreed on anyone yet, any one is good, how can it be the ninth sister. ”

"When you went to curry favor with the ninth sister to curry favor with the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion, you should have thought that people would look down on the ninth sister." Senior Scholar Gu replied with a complicated expression: "Why do you look like you are surprised today."

"Where is it because of this," Mrs. Gu looked at her husband's face, and replied softly: "The fourth lady in the Xie Xiang's Mansion is also friendly with the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion, and during the winter solstice, Ningfu Gong hosted a winter banquet, and the concubine saw that Miss Xie Si had a very happy conversation with Mu Gongzi, if it is true, Miss Xie Si is no worse than our ninth sister, why didn't the Mu family take a fancy to Miss Xie Si." I think, I'm afraid it's still because of the things at the foot of Tiantong Mountain......"

"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Scholar Gu replied impatiently: "King Yi likes Miss Xie Si, and at this time, everyone in the capital knows about it, and everyone knows about it. How could the Mu family want to hire Miss Xie Si. ”

"What you said is not right, sir." Mrs. Gu immediately shook her head: "Fourth Miss Xie doesn't like King Yi, at this time, our ninth sister knows, how can Miss Mu, who is good friends with them, not know?" Master, don't say that the Anguo Mansion doesn't dare to rob people with King Yi, if Mrs. Mu fancies anyone, then will she be polite to others? That old lady, the emperor wants her to give her three points, and the queen dares to confront her face, what is she afraid of? ”

"Anyway, it's our ninth sister who people are looking at now." Senior Scholar Gu frowned, looking very impatient: "They will choose." Xie Xiangxin is very high, his granddaughter is a ready-made princess, even if she doesn't marry King Yi, I'm afraid that she will marry to the palace of Xinwang, but the Mu family is smart and didn't touch this mold. ”

"Alas!" Mrs. Gu also frowned, and sighed with her husband slightly: "The Xie family's heart is high, but the concubine's expectations for the ninth sister are also high. Really!"

"You're really interesting," Scholar Gu squinted at his wife: "Your heart is high, how tall is it?" Could it be that you still think that the door of the Anguo Mansion is low? Before, he kept saying that he was married to the Anguo Mansion, but now, if people really come to propose, you are disgusted. ”

"The concubine body is not the door that dislikes the Anguo Mansion," Mrs. Gu frowned, looking like she didn't know what to say: "The concubine body is just ...... Alas! Everyone is good, how can it be the ninth sister. The other granddaughters, as they choose, are happy to see which concubine they like. It's just these nine sisters...... Master, the ninth sister is the smartest of our granddaughters! Marrying into the Anguo Mansion, she is so smart in vain!"
