Chapter 101: A Call
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, it is the period of rebellion. It is impossible for the Zhou family not to mention Zhou Jingyan's things, Li Jiangwei was afraid that Zhou Jingyan would be rebellious because of the punishment at home, so she mentioned it again and again. If she was still the original daughter of the unstatused and declining Anyuan Bofu family, Zhou Jingyan would not have accepted her words so quickly.
She believes in the identity of "East Palace Companion", and she is afraid of the imperial concubine behind her.
After separating from Zhou Jingyan, Li Jiangwei silently summoned "Seeing and Hearing" to try to find the daughter of Sun Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, from among the many noble girls. This Sun Shisun Shangshu's wife is the sister of Ji Liang's theory, and she has the grace of knowing Ji Liang's theory, and she may be able to get some news from the Sun family. However, there was no trace of this person when he used "Seeing and Hearing", and it seems that this person did not participate in Ning Yingluo's banquet.
I just don't know if Ning Yingluo has ever posted, or if the Sun family is unwilling to go.
In another place, Ning Yingluo led Li Jiangqin to the place where the plum blossoms were appreciated. The scorching red plum is delicate and beautiful against the background of the snow, like a little spark, and the female guests who are traveling with it all praise the red plum of Ningfu.
At this moment, Ning Yingluo spoke: "I often live in the family temple and pray for the first prince, but after I came back, I learned that the river was in trouble. Today's invitation is not only to enjoy the snow and red plums around the fireplace, but also to call on you to pay attention to the Xiajiang disaster. It was winter, when it was cold and the ground was freezing, we could warm ourselves around the fireplace, but the victims of the disaster in Xiajiang suffered from the bitter cold. I implore you to do your part for Xiajiang by donating gold and silver, or sending some old clothes that are not used in the prefecture, so as to alleviate the hardships of Xiajiang. ”
Such high-sounding words made all the nobles stunned, and many women with soft hearts were already sad and echoed in their voices. When Li Jiangyun saw this situation, she couldn't help but feel tricky.
Today's events, the Ning family is bound to spread the word. If the nobles present did not say anything after they returned, they would have been harshly reprimanded by many people. Ning Yingluo is stepping on others to achieve her own reputation.
Li Jiangyun looked at the familiar faces around her, and suddenly realized something.
Most of the people who participated in this banquet were vassals of the Ning family, or political enemies like the Wu family, who could never be friends. Those who wavered and did not stand in line for a long time, none of them appeared.
"What is she going to do here?" Wu Shilu wrinkled his eyebrows, and muttered in a not very happy voice: "This is a bit interesting to have no capital." ”
After muttering, the corners of Wu Shilu's mouth hooked, and he said loudly: "It seems that Miss Ning is ready to donate money?" I wonder how much gold and silver Miss Ning has prepared? Let you sisters listen to it, and have a bottom in your heart? ”
Ning Yingluo smiled and said, "Naturally, I am ready, in addition to the silver money, I also prepare winter clothes, charcoal and other things." ”
"I don't know which winter coat and charcoal Miss Ning chose?"
"I asked the people below to prepare it, and I haven't seen it myself. Miss Wu asked well, and she will definitely ask carefully when the banquet is over. ”
"Why don't you call someone to ask now? Like me, I can't tell the grain. I don't know which one has good winter clothes and charcoal. If you buy inferior winter clothes and charcoal on a whim, and send them to Xiajiang only to find that they are useless, wouldn't it be a waste of labor and money? Cheap those profiteers? ”
"If they dare to cheat, tell me. I'm going to get justice for you!" ”
Seeing that Ning Yingluo was reluctant to summon someone, the smile on Wu Shilu's face was even stronger, and he continued: "That's unacceptable!" It was the people of Xiajiang who were delayed back and forth, and it was not only my family's money that was damaged. ”
The smile on Ning Yingluo's face gradually faded, and she said softly: "Miss Wu doesn't want to spend money, so you don't have to force yourself. Do your best and do what you can. This capital is just a whim of Yingluo, and my father has never asked. ”
"It seems that Miss Ning donated her dowry?" Li Jiangyun suddenly spoke, "Miss Ning's righteousness, admire!" ”
Li Jiangyun, who said this loudly, smiled at Wu Shilu, "It is worthy of being the most affectionate woman in this capital, no wonder the first prince will choose Miss Ning as his wife." ”
Ning Yingluo sighed, pretended to wipe away her tears, and said, "Why did such a good man go?" ”
The rest of the nobles were relieved, and then they gave up.
Ning Yingluo left everyone's field of vision on the grounds that she missed the first prince, and Ning Yingluo was still holding Li Jiangqin's wrist before leaving. Li Jiangqin didn't dare to break free, so she could only obediently follow Ning Yingluo's side. Li Jiangyun was hindered by her sister, so she had to follow behind from a distance.
"Your daughter's daughter is so powerful, you are not bad at it." Ning Yingluo whispered, saying in a voice that only she and Li Jiangqin could hear, "You should go out and walk around more, otherwise outsiders will only know that there are twin sisters in An Yuanbo's Mansion." Even you, a serious young lady, are left behind. ”
"......"
"Let me ask you, how many people recognize you? How many people know that there is a seventh lady in Uncle Anyuan's mansion? In a few years, this Li Jiangyun will go on a scientific expedition, does it matter who the seventh lady of An Yuanbo's Mansion is? ”
Li Jiangqin chuckled in her heart and looked at Ning Yingluo uneasily.
"In the future, others will only know that you are Li Jiangyun's sister, not the only concubine of An Yuanbo's mansion. Looking at the entire capital, only you An Yuanbo's mansion is pressed on the head of the concubine. ”
"Mother wouldn't let that happen."
"Hasn't this already happened?"
Ning Yingluo smiled at Li Jiangqin and let go of Li Jiangqin's wrist that she had been holding.
"Go, go back to your sister. With your eyes, see for yourself. Ning Yingluo's voice suddenly returned to normal, and she pointed not far away and said happily: "When the prince was reincarnated, his favorite was that cluster of flowers. You can go with your sister to enjoy the flowers, I will go to rest. ”
Li Jiangqin looked at Ning Yingluo in a daze, and only nodded after a while: "Okay." ”
After Ning Yingluo left, Li Jiangyun hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly, "What did you talk to her about?" ”
Li Jiangqin restrained the distraction and surprise on her face, and looked at Li Jiangyun angrily.
"It's not about you!"
"That's the Ning family. We are at odds with the Ning family, do you know this? ”
"So what? You are an older sister, I respect you for being older. I had a good friend, but you were unmoved, and even spoke ill of me with the fourth sister. Have you forgotten that I am A-Niang's daughter? In terms of tooth order, I am not as good as you, but I am a concubine, the only concubine of Uncle Anyuan's mansion. If you want to ask, it is also your father and mother who ask, when will it be your turn to interrogate me with a concubine whose biological mother has died? ”
"She said something." Li Jiangyun looked at Li Jiangqin expressionlessly.
Li Jiangqin, who used to only complain to his mother, actually learned to use his identity as a concubine to exert pressure.
"Let me warn you. In a declining family like An Yuanbo Mansion that only has a title left, the daughter does not value the concubine when she marries. As for the earl position that values the concubine. Li Jiangyun snorted and said with a smile: "Your second brother is a well-deserved eldest son." ”
