Chapter 90: Conspiracy
The dark night always gives people a lot of uncertainty, and people are always afraid of the unknown, so the mysterious and dark night is always unpleasant.
Tonight, on a small road on the outskirts of Anjing, a slender figure walked alone. The darkness was boundless, and the forest was gloomy and terrifying, with occasional winds blowing and leaves swaying and rustling.
I don't know when the night fog rose in the forest, and the moonlight was hazy, and there was not a single star to be seen.
Du Ruoxian swallowed nervously, grabbed the lantern in his hand, and walked quickly along the path. Soon, he saw a faintly flickering light not far away, and he was overjoyed, and walked briskly under his feet. When I got closer, I saw that it was a dilapidated thatched house, and there was a strange thing about the dancing candle flame in the house.
Du Ruoxian strode into the hut and looked at no one to be found, "I'm here, where are you?" ”
Before the words fell, the candle flame in the house shook strongly, and a gust of wind blew into the house, Du Ruoxian looked towards the door, and I don't know when a black figure had stood at the door.
He was wrapped in a black cloak, barely recognizable by the faint light.
He looked at the black figure, and his heart beat wildly.
This is the second time Du Ruoxian has seen the mysterious man.
He still came and went without a trace.
Du Ruoxian remembered that day when he was whipped by his father and lay on the bed in resentment, the mysterious person also appeared as mysteriously as tonight. He panicked, but calmed down when the mysterious man said he could avenge him.
He has a pact with the mystery man, and he is willing to make it easier for the mystery man if necessary, and the mystery man promises to help him make that slut's life worse than death.
He knew that the mysterious man was dangerous, but he also knew that his father and uncle would only be afraid of the slut's back, and he would have to do his own thing.
And he couldn't do anything himself, but although he didn't know the identity of the mysterious person, he could know his strength just by looking at the fact that he could quietly evade the guards patrolling the Prison Department's Shilang Mansion. So they came to an agreement.
In the days that followed, he became infamous and ridiculed and ostracized everywhere, but he endured it all because the mysterious man said that it was not the right time. It wasn't until later that he heard that Lin Qingyu was engaged to the prince of Yun'an, and he suddenly realized.
Lin Qingyu does have arrogant capital, but she is the one who ruined his reputation, and he will never let her go.
Today, he received an anonymous letter saying that he would meet here when he asked his son, and that he also had a golden plum blossom in it. He was overjoyed, it was the mysterious man, and he was finally going to do it!
"You're here, have you figured it out?" The mystery man asked.
"Think about it, as long as you can destroy Lin Qingyu, you can do whatever you want me to do!" Du Ruoxian responded.
"Okay, as long as you do what I say, I will make sure you get what you want."
"Why are you helping me?"
"I thought I would have made it clear to you the first time we met."
"But I don't have anything, if I can't do what you said when the time comes......"
"You're too worried, since I'm looking for you, it means that you're still valuable to me."
"So what am I going to do?"
"You should go and make amends to your uncle first......
After a cup of tea, Du Ruoxian looked at the constantly beating candle flame and secretly digested what the mysterious person told him. Finally, he blew out the candle and walked towards Anjing.
The night was still dark, but he was no longer afraid......
It's just that the calm on the surface can't hide his bloodthirsty heart......
The next day, Du Ruoxian really went to the palace with a gift accompanied by the Wang family. Wang Jingsong looked at the nephew who sincerely admitted his mistake after many days, and the girl with red eyes on the side, and felt that knowing his mistake could improve a lot, so he forgave Du Ruoxian.
"Xian'er, you must be of good character, if you cultivate your form, you must first cultivate your heart!" Wang Jingsong said earnestly.
Du Ruoxian humbly arched his hand, "Xian'er, follow your uncle's teachings." ”
Seeing that the two uncles and nephews were in harmony, Wang remembered his son's request before, "Xian'er, you go out first, I still have something to talk to your uncle." ”
"Yes, mother, uncle, Xian'er retires!"
Du Ruoxian retreated, but the shrewdness and ruthlessness in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed at the moment he turned around.
When Wang saw his son walking away, his face was embarrassed, "Brother, Xian'er has grown a lot now, but you also know about it...... His father is also unwilling to contribute to him, what can he do in the future if this career is not smooth! And he began to cry as he spoke.
Wang Jingsong saw that his sister pear blossom was raining, and he was also a little worried in his heart, "This, sister, don't worry, Xian'er has been smart since she was a child, if she studies hard for a few years......"
"Brother, Xian'er is now more than twenty years old, but his career has not been successful, I can't let go of this heart, you are just this one nephew, his father doesn't care about him, I can only beg you with a shy face!"
Wang cried: "Brother, you don't know, now the master is entangled by those foxes, there are already three concubines in the house, they all covet my Xian'er's position, how can Xian'er have these things again, and now the life of our mother and daughter in the house is ......" Speaking of this, she seemed to be unable to continue, and only hid her face and cried.
"This ......" Wang Jingsong was a little embarrassed.
"Brother, do you want my sister to kneel for you?" As he spoke, Wang was about to kneel.
Where did Wang Jingsong really ask Wang to kneel for him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, Wang took advantage of the situation and grabbed his sleeve and only cried.
Wang Jingsong and Wang's mother are compatriots, he remembered that when his mother was alive, his mother often severely punished his naughty sister, and his sister would pull his sleeve and cry like now when she was wronged.
After all, it is flesh and blood, Wang cried, and he was uncomfortable to watch, but Xian'er is indeed not a material for reading, and he barely passed the Xiucai exam in the early years and did nothing......
After thinking about it again, Wang Jingsong still felt that giving Du Ruoxian a chance could be regarded as his uncle's best.
"I have a good relationship with the North Gate Guard, I heard him say the day before yesterday that his deacons are old and have returned to their hometowns, and their positions are vacant, so let Xian'er ...... tomorrow"
When Wang heard this, he said, "Brother, how can my virtuous son go to guard the city gate!" ”
"Woman's view! After the death of the Marquis of Dongqin, he voluntarily demoted himself to guard the north gate, and he was a loyal and patriotic teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Besides, the deacon is a civilian, although he is only the last official class, but he is an official, and he doesn't have to patrol around in the wind and sun, he only needs to help the guard do some idle little things like tidying up, if you are willing to let Xian'er take my name card to General Pang tomorrow, if you don't want to, I am powerless. ”
The inconsequential official position of deacon has always been recommended by people from above, and although the official position is small, as long as you do it well, you may be promoted.
Seeing Wang Jingsong's face sank, Wang was reluctant and didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to thank him curtly.
It's just that Du Ruoxian was angry when he first heard this, and when he thanked Wang Jingsong, he made a grateful look, which made Wang Jingsong completely believe that he had changed his ways.
Early the next morning, he took Wang Jingsong's name card and handwritten letter to find Dang Hai, who had received Wang Jingsong's great favor earlier, and learned that the other party was his own nephew, so he should treat him with courtesy.
In this way, Du Ruoxian settled down at the north gate, and did his duty every day, Da Dahai is a rough man, and he hates to deal with some paperwork the most, he sees that Du Ruoxian is quite organized and entrusts him with the things that he can't handle, and he is idle.
And Wang Jingsong was relieved to hear that Du Ruoxian was doing very well, and he was willing to take him in and out.
It's just that no one knows what kind of turbulent waves are stored under the calm......
……
Today, the envoys of Ningguo will enter the palace to meet Emperor Hong'an. Since meeting Lin Qingyu, Ning Guanghuan thought about it seriously, and finally decided to let Ning Chuxi meet with her as a princess.
After all, this is not Ning Guo, many things are out of their control, even Lin Qingyu can determine their identities based on guessing, and Chu Xi's identity can't be hidden for long.
It is better to put things on the bright side than to be picked out by Dajin's people, and he and Chu Xi are safer.
Emperor Hong'an had grasped the news early on, so when Ning Guanghuan revealed Ning Chuxi's identity, he also pretended to be surprised and expressed his welcome.
Before, people didn't explain it, and he was happy to pretend to be confused, but now, he is just treating it as one more guest.
In order to welcome the envoys of Ningguo, Emperor Hong'an also specially arranged a palace banquet, and according to the custom, the courtiers of Dajin should bring their families into the palace to participate in the banquet. The Yasukuni Mansion is naturally among the palaces.
Qingyu is very resistant to entering the palace to participate in the banquet, but she is already known as the newly acquired daughter of General Huben. Moreover, this Warring States Mansion has made great contributions, and it is an indispensable part of the banquet. So she could only enter the palace with her stepmother and Lin Jiayin, and as for Du Xinting, she was about to give birth, so she did not attend.
And the Li family wanted Qingyu to take this opportunity to make an appearance, so he really dressed her up.
Li also specially took out his long-cherished pearl head to be used by Qingyu, but Qingyu refused to use it because she was too serious to use it, which made Lin Jiayin, who was watching the "mother-daughter war" on the sidelines, envious.
In the end, Qingyu chose a set of smoke blue embroidered long skirts, using precious Shu brocade, the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with begonia flowers, the unique waist design shows a slender waist, the waist is matched with a piece of mutton fat jade pendant, combed with a flying cloud bun, with a pearl hair ornament on the head, and then hairpin on the white jade peach hairpin given to her by Jiang Yu, simple and elegant.
Li saw that although she was dressed simply, she was beautiful and a little clear and smart, so she was not attached to her head. As long as her baby daughter is amazing!
Lin Jiayin saw that Qingyu was dressed up, so she teased in a thick voice: "This little lady is really good, it's better to go back to the house with the uncle to eat and drink spicy food!" ”
"You little girl, you don't have a proper line, if you can be so comfortable in front of Qin Xiu, you won't run to me and cry!"
"Ahh Lin Jiayin was sneering, "You better take care of yourself, today Guan Bao made Jiang Dashizi stunned!" ”
Qingyu said that she was bored, but she was secretly looking forward to what Jiang Yu would look like when she saw her.
The Li family on the side looked at the two little sisters and joked with joy in their hearts, "I see that the two of you are not doing right, the palace is unusual, you have to be more restrained today, the hour is not early, follow me into the palace!" ”
"Yes, mother (second aunt)!"
