After Yu Yongyi, who was deep in Fuyang, set a time for return, Lu Jiangfeng went to Situ Ran's room alone. After the end of the winter solstice, Situ Ran was idle, and he didn't need to spend time packing up his luggage. When Lu Jiangfeng visited, she was playing with the bone flute.

"The performance that day was good."

Situ Ran was not surprised by Lu Jiangfeng's arrival, she smiled slightly and pointed to the chair next to her. Lu Jiangfeng shook his head and did not sit down.

"Looks like you're quite fond of the bone flute?"

Situ Ran smiled at her, picked up the bone flute and began to play. At this moment, Lu Jiangfeng found that the light on Situ Ran's body was much brighter. The surrounding spiritual power slowly surged towards her under Situ Ran's playing.

"He is worthy of being a descendant of the master of the soldiers. In a short period of time, it was possible to do this. After a song, Lu Jiangfeng sighed, "You have seen the scenery of Fuyang and the festival of the winter solstice." What do you think? What do you plan for the future? ”

Putting away the bone flute, Situ Ran smiled bitterly: "Indeed, after seeing this, there is no way to live like before." But my home is in the capital, so it's impossible not to go and stay in Fuyang. ”

"After returning to the capital, are you still going to attend various banquets as before? Waiting for the matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage? ”

Situ Ran shook his head lightly, "Whether you want it or not, it's never up to me." ”

"Then I'll give you a chance to decide." Lu Jiangfeng said solemnly: "I can let you enter the Taichang Temple Taibu Bureau." He has no real power, but he can freely enter and leave the outer hall of the palace. In the future, you can take this opportunity to enter other positions in Taichang Temple, and whether you can enter in the end depends on your own creation. ”

After saying this, Lu Jiangfeng smiled at Situran.

"It's a big deal, you don't have to answer me now. When I arrive in the capital, I will have a careful discussion with your brother and then give me an answer. ”

With that, Lu Jiangfeng turned around and left neatly, leaving Situ Ran in surprise.

"That's right." Approaching the door, Lu Jiangfeng added: "After entering the Taichang Temple, there is still a chance to enter the Ministry of Rites." I remember that you had a good relationship with the little girl in the Ministry of Rites. The road I paved for you is much easier than my own sister's. ”

Lu Jiangfeng laughed at himself and said, "Her one, once she doesn't go well, it's a dead end." ”

"You mean Rose?"

"No, it's Yun'er."

Lu Jiangfeng didn't explain and left the room.

Jiang Xuemian, who is in the capital, doesn't have these heavy troubles from them, at most, she is entangled in some trivial matters such as her recent father and ignoring her. Although her father was very busy back and forth, he was in a good mood and occasionally talked to her with a smile. The calmness of the gestures made Jiang Xuemian feel very relieved. Even if there is something, it will not be a big deal.

Jiang Xuemian was bored counting the jewelry in the box. Suddenly, I remembered that Ning Yingluo had returned to Beijing, and suddenly came to the spirit and took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

She wanted to write a letter to Ning Yingluo, talk about things at home, and complain.

At the beginning of the year, Ning Yingluo, who had to leave the capital to eat and pray for blessings in the suburbs, looked at the head and face in the makeup, Ning Yingluo was angry. Those are all new headfaces that she specially created, and who expected that they would be outdated before they were put out.

"Throw all these things away." Ning Yingluo instructed, "Let someone go and build me a new set." ”

The maid beside Ning Yingluo bent down in embarrassment and said, "Now that Xiajiang has been affected, the expenses of the Ning Mansion have been reduced a lot. Miss wants to create a new head, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

The maid carefully persuaded, "Let's dispel the thoughts." ”

"I think you're afraid of burden! My father loves me, how can he not even give me a face! ”

Ning Yingluo got up angrily, ready to leave the house to find Ning Hongzhen. At this moment, another maid lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile.

"Or is the young lady of the Jiang family thinking about the girl, isn't it? The girl has only been back for a few days, and the young lady of the Jiang family has sent a letter to the girl. ”

Ning Yingluo took the letter casually, glanced at it briefly and sent it back to the maid.

"She loves to pour bitter water with me, why hasn't she grown at all."

"Is the girl replying now?"

"Nope." Ning Yingluo replied casually: "I'll come back when I'm free in the future." ”

"Yes."

Ning Yingluo found Ning Hongzhen, who was dealing with official business in the study, and opened her mouth to ask, "Father, are you free?" ”

Ning Hongzhen raised his head and snorted.

"My daughter listened to your words and went to the family temple in the suburbs to eat fast and pray for blessings, and now that she is back, is my father not going to give some gifts to my daughter who has not seen her for a long time?"

"Oh? You're looking for me in a huff, just for this? ”

Ning Hongzhen put down the pen in his hand and leaned back.

"I haven't been back to the capital for a year, and the heads and faces in the house are outdated. Is it good for my father to ask someone to build a new set? If you go out to a banquet in the future, you won't lose the face of Ningfu. ”

"Humph!" Ning Hongzhen sneered: "If you weren't competitive and provoked people, I would let you go to the family temple?" Do you think you are still the future crown princess? ”

"Father! You're the only daughter I'm in! ”

"So what? The people who asked you to ignore the Li family at the beginning, did you listen to me? ”

Ning Hongzhen slapped the table and slammed Ning Yingluo.

"There is such a big thing in Xiajiang, and we are the mother family of the third prince! At this time, you are extravagant and wasteful, and you are not afraid that your father will be participated in by that group of imperial historians? ”

"It's just a set of heads."

"If your brain is clear, learn from the two sisters of the Li family! You shouldn't have come to my house to make such a request! ”

As soon as she heard her father mention the two members of the Li family, Ning Yingluo's hatred surged.

"Look at your expression, you haven't understood it yet?"

"A pair of sisters from the declining Bofu family, what can be a big deal?"

"People can get into Li Xiang's eyes, can you?" Ning Hongzhen scolded: "If you can have some brains, let me go out and think about the relationship for myself." ”

"Can that Li Xiang compare to his father?"

Ning Hongzhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "If he hadn't resigned and traveled far away, your father wouldn't have been able to sit in this position." ”

He patted the armrest of the chair vigorously and sighed: "That kid really has the luck of being named on the gold list, and there is a lot of help in his official career, but there will be no fewer enemies." ”

As he spoke, Ning Hongzhen's eyes changed in vain, and the sharpness was abnormal, which made Ning Yingluo a little afraid.

"If you're still struggling in the back house, don't mess with the sisters. Those sisters are not something you can afford to mess with, and this is one of the few pieces of advice that a father can give you. ”

Ning Yingluo clenched her fists, and angrily bowed to Ning Hongzhen and exited the study. Ning Yingluo, who returned to her room, withdrew all her subordinates and smashed her head and face in the makeup to the ground.

"The sisters again." Ning Yingluo gritted her teeth and said, "Three times and twice, it's bad for me!" ”

"The next time I meet you, I will never make you feel better!"

Ning Yingluo swore secretly.

"Never, let you have a good time!"
