Chapter 96: A long-lost gathering
The matter of going to Xiajiang was entrusted by the imperial concubine, and before the imperial concubine spoke, Li Jiangwei could not take the initiative to blow up the matter. When chatting with Li Jiangyun about gossip and family life, he mentioned that he went to Xingchuan, and followed Yu Yongyi to Fuyang with his sister to watch the ceremony.
"Along the way, I had a new idea and was ready to start a new book."
"Still open?" Li Jiangyun was surprised: "Isn't there anything that hasn't been written?" ”
"This book is short! Write this first! Li Jiangwei used strong words to remove the topic, "It is estimated that I will go to the retreat to write until the New Year, and I am going to invite Sister Shi Lu and Ran Ran to get together before this." ”
"I'll prepare the invitation." Li Jiangyun took the initiative to take over the matter, "In order to prepare for the exam, I retired Sister Wu's post, and I inevitably had to be nagged by her." I wrote an invitation to atone for my sins. ”
"You think you just need to write an invitation?"
"It's better than not writing."
The two sisters said a lot of things, and Li Jiangwei stayed directly to eat in Xiaoxiang Courtyard. During the meal, Li Jiangyun mentioned that Ji Xiuyuan came to threaten but did not test his own business.
"Mention Ji Xiuyuan...... Does my sister know Ji Liang's theory? ”
"I know." Li Jiangwei replied: "I met Master Ji in the East Palace. ”
Li Jiangwei's bland answer surprised Li Jiangyun, it was the first time she was so close to the characters in the topic.
"That'...... Does my sister know that Master Ji Liang is suspended? ”
"Stop...... Suspended! ”
Li Jiangwei put down her chopsticks and asked anxiously, "What is the situation of suspension?" Why was he suspended? Where is the news coming from? ”
"It was Feng Guixiao who told me."
"Him?" Li Jiangwei knew that the General's Mansion had a close relationship with Yu Yongyi, and she was the force behind the imperial concubine, so it was not a thing that surprised Li Jiangwei to come to Li Jiangyun, "Have you told you more?" ”
"No, just a little bit of a general one. It was as if he didn't even know the joints himself. ”
"That's kind of interesting. The East Palace didn't let me take care of it, so don't mix it in. ”
"I know this, I can't control the affairs of the capital, the only thing that matters is to study and get Huanyue's student status for three years and then take the exam."
Li Jiangwei nodded in relief.
"Will writing an invitation delay your time in reading?"
"Sister! You're kidding me again! ”
Li Jiangwei smiled and put Li Jiangyun's favorite dishes into her bowl, "I didn't say anything." If you really want to make fun of you, you should ask Feng Ergongzi about the purpose of coming to you. It's not just a matter of sending a message. ”
Li Jiangyun put the dishes in the bowl into her mouth and chewed, but did not reply.
It doesn't take much time to write the invitation, and after Li Jiangyun prepared the invitation on the second day, he asked his subordinates to send the invitations to the Wu family, Situ's family, and Zhong's family respectively. To Li Jiangyun's surprise, Zhong Ruxia refused her invitation. In the end, only Situ Ran and Wu Shilu went to the banquet.
In Xiaoxiang Courtyard, it is rare to be so lively.
"You invited Ruxia?"
After asking, Wu Shilu picked up a piece of dim sum and sent it to his mouth, which Li Jiangyun specially ordered someone to buy at the Zhuyin Pavilion.
"None of you have been in the capital lately, no wonder." Wu Shilu, who swallowed the snack, said: "Recently, the Zhong family has pushed all the posts, and no one has communicated. It seems that he is afraid of being involved in right and wrong, and he is ready to protect himself. ”
Wu Shilu, who licked his fingers, complained: "You two leave the capital without saying a word, and Ruxia can't go out to chat with me." The recent events really suffocated me! Do you know that "Overseas Lost" and "Bai Wat" were scolded? ”
"Yes." Li Jiangwei's calm appearance attracted the attention of Li Jiangyun and Situ Ran.
"Wow! I'm! How can you say that! Although the text of "Overseas Lost" is a little worse, the plot is very interesting! No one has ever written that before! The group of people who scolded Chengwei, can they guess the follow-up? I can't guess what strange things to say when I come out! What if Chengwei doesn't write the follow-up! Where am I going to end it! ”
Situ Ran glanced at Li Jiangwei again, and his sympathetic gaze fell on Wu Shilu.
"They really don't take us book fans seriously! I've decided, I'm going to take the lead in fighting back! Just in time you're back, help me write the manuscript! ”
"No, I refuse." Li Jiangwei was the first to reply, "There was an accident in the East Palace recently, and I am waiting for the arrangement of the imperial concubine." Your grandfather's course, I still have to find time to make up for it. ”
"Grandpa, okay......" After Li Jiangwei raised Wu Peiwen's name, Wu Shilu could only change his target, "What about the two of you!" You two should be free! Especially Ranran! You are not allowed to run! ”
"Okay, what do you write?"
On the surface, he was replying to Wu Shilu's words, but in fact, he was staring at Li Jiangwei.
Li Jiangwei turned her head and pretended to look at the bamboo outside the window.
"Praise and it's over!"
"I don't think Chengwei will be able to bear it. Why don't you show me what they wrote? A rebuttal that can be refuted? ”
"That's a good idea. I'll look for it after a while and send you to your house. ”
"Okay."
Seeing that this matter was revealed, Li Jiangwei dared to ask, "Has there been any movement in your family recently?" ”
"Nope."
"But I heard that something happened to Master Ji of Zhan Shifu. Don't you have any news at all? What's more, your mother and the wife of Lord Yan of Zuo Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu are clan sisters. Don't have any contact with each other? ”
"You actually know Aunt Chu?"
Li Jiangyun said in a timely manner: "There are juniors of Master Ji in the school, and I have heard that Master Ji is extremely strong in arithmetic, so he has been in the Ministry of Engineering for a while. But after all, it is the words of the juniors, and there may be exaggeration. It's too strange to take a copy of something unreliable. ”
"Aunt Chu said that it wasn't Master Ji who did it. If Lord Ji could be sure of the information he calculated, it would be impossible for him to do something anonymous, and he would definitely clearly explain the origin of the numbers to the emperor. It will not mention one or two in general terms, and vaguely refer to the fact that the household department is greedy for ink. ”
"Can you prove that the fold was presented by Master Ji?" Li Qianyun asked.
"There is no definite evidence. That's why he was suspended and not handed over elsewhere. The Holy One is angry, and unless someone can prove that the twist and turn is not made by Master Ji, there will be room for maneuver. But none of this has anything to do with us. Even Jiang Yun, who is the most hopeful official, is still studying in the school! ”
Wu Shilu walked around as he spoke, putting his hands on Li Jiangyun's shoulders.
"Can you go well in the school?"
"At the end of this year, I got the first class in the exam and ranked third."
Wu Shilu said happily: "Wouldn't there be a chance to end up in three years?" ”
"Probably."
When it came to the official position, Situ Ran was a little distracted, and he couldn't help but think of what Lu Jiangfeng said in Fuyang.
Do you choose to wait at home for the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, or follow Lu Jiangfeng into Taichang Temple?
After a while, Situ Ran suddenly asked, "Do you know what Taichang Temple is?" ”
