The news that Wang Zhilian, the eldest lord of the Wang family, was an outer chamber and murdered his sister-in-law, spread in the capital in less than a day.

In the past two years, various scandals about the Wang family have not stopped, first the Wang family was robbed of the title from a hereditary noble family because of the occupation of the orphan girl's family property, and then Wang Zhilian and Wang Si Lady were caught and raped in bed, and Wang Tingwei, the second son of Wang, was obviously good at Longyang but wanted to falsely claim to have a marriage contract with the daughter of the Ji family, and then it turned out that Wang Zhilian and Wang Si Lady murdered Mrs. Ji together, this pile and one by one are simply unbelievable and appalling.

This made the capital, which had been quiet for a while, lively again, and became a hot topic of discussion in the capital, from the noble family, down to the dawn people, and even the literati and scholars, some people were indignant, some people were disdainful, some people sighed, and some people scoffed.

All sorts of rhetoric are boiling.

"This Wang family deserves it, it's really karma!"

"That's right, I think this Wang family is up and down, and it's all rotten to the bone. Miss Ji is really pitiful! ”

While the four or five students were talking, they stepped out of the gate of the National Prison one after another, and they all looked excited.

"Brother Chen, Brother Tian, this is a bad word." Someone retorted disapprethetively, "The Wang family is Miss Ji's mother's family, she killed her own uncle like this, and exposed her own family ugliness, she really shouldn't be!" ”

"Brother Feng's words are inevitably biased!"

A clear male voice came from the direction of the Guozijian in the rear, and several students hurriedly stopped and looked back.

But seeing a young man with a straight face in azure pigment walking out of the threshold, with a tall figure and an elegant temperament, the prisoner surnamed Feng, who had just spoken, answered embarrassedly: "What does Brother Duanmu think?" ”

Duanmu Heng, who was carrying a bookcase, walked down the stone steps in front of the threshold, and came to the students until he came to them, and then said: "Brother Feng, if your family is ruined and you are left alone, can you still forgive the person who slaughtered your relatives without any guilt?" ”

"......" The prisoner surnamed Feng opened his mouth slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

Duanmu Heng continued: "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself. At all times, it's easier said than done. ”

Duanmu Heng's tone was not too harsh, but every word in this sentence was to the point, and he almost said that the prisoner surnamed Feng didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke.

"......" The prisoner surnamed Feng was even more embarrassed and speechless.

At this time, Duanmu Heng's little servant led the horse over and called: "The eldest young master ......"

Duanmu Heng handed the bookcase in his hand to the little maid, took the horse rope in his hand, and was about to turn over on the horse, when he saw a familiar moon-white shadow coming slowly in the gate of Huilan Garden next door, and the eyes of the two happened to meet in mid-air.

Duanmu Heng bowed slightly to Ji Lanzhou inside the door, polite.

Ji Lanzhou elegantly lifted her skirt across the threshold, and walked in the direction of Duanmu Heng, and the students next to Duanmu Heng also saw her, their faces were a little cramped, feeling like they were gossiping behind their backs but were caught by the parties.

Those students hurriedly said goodbye to Duanmu Heng and almost fled.

Ji Lanzhou walked three steps away from Duanmu Heng and stopped, and blessed his body decently, "Thank you Duanmu Gongzi for speaking up." Her eyes were as clear as a spring.

Duanmu Heng was stunned, and always felt that Ji Lanzhou seemed to be different, as if he had let go of the burden of many years and had a new life.

The corners of Duanmu Heng's lips were almost invisibly hooked, and he grabbed the horse rope and arched his hand, "Miss Ji is polite." I'm just judging things by facts, and this matter is not the girl's fault from beginning to end, and the girl naturally does not need to be criticized. ”

It was Wang Zhilian who was wrong, not Ji Lanzhou.

Of course, Ji Lanzhou understood these truths in her heart, but when Duanmu Heng told her this in person, a warm current still surged through her heart.

She smiled, and the whole person was like a green lotus in that pool of clear water, quiet and elegant.

The warm breeze is blowing, and the spring is strong.

Neither of them noticed, not far away a black painted flat-topped carriage was approaching this direction, and a pair of shrewd and wise eyes poked out of the window of the carriage, looking at the young man and girl in amazement.

The coachman outside shouted and began to slow down the horse, but Duanmuxian was unaware of it, and his eyes looked ahead in a daze.

He went down in advance today, just passing by Mingxian Street, thinking that the eldest grandson should be out of class at this time, so he wanted to stop by to pick him up, but he didn't want to see the eldest grandson talking to a girl's house.

Duanmu Xian couldn't help but pinch himself, and the pain told him that he wasn't dreaming!

His eldest grandson has been dull since he was a child, and he acts in a straightforward manner, except for loving to teach the four girls, he is not very close to other sisters in the family, let alone girls from other families......

In his thoughts, the carriage got closer, and although Duanmu Xian still couldn't hear what they were saying, he could see the shallow smile on Ji Lanzhou's lips, and the eldest grandson also smiled as if he was infected with a smile.

Duanmu Xian almost didn't look up to see if the sun was coming out of the west!

He lowered the curtains, a thoughtful look on his face.

Perhaps, he should inquire about the Wang family's case.

The case of the Wang family is actually clear, the facts of the case are clear and unambiguous, and the evidence is conclusive.

There was Ji Lanzhou, the bitter master, and Mrs. Wang came forward to testify, plus, at that time, the rest of the Wang family and the monks of Huangjue Temple heard it, Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to slack off, and was soon convicted, Wang Zhilian was sentenced to beheading, and his adulterer, the former fourth lady of Wang, Kong Shi, was an accomplice and was sentenced to exile for thousands of miles.

On the 26th of May, when Jingzhao Mansion was bound to commit a crime, Mrs. Wang ran tremblingly to her daughter's grave, kneeling, weeping, and repenting......

For the sake of an unrelated "outsider", she killed her only daughter, and Mrs. Wang really regretted and hated it during this time.

However, it was too late to regret it.

Now even her granddaughter hates her, and her life is like a joke.

Mrs. Wang was so excited that she cried and cried, and in her excitement, she fainted, and after the next person hurriedly sent her to the hospital, the doctor shook her head and sighed and said that she had a stroke.

These things of the Wang family were also passed on by word of mouth as gossip in the streets and alleys, and also reached Duanmu Fei's ears through Bi Chan.

Duanmu Fei was crooked on a beech circle chair by the window, holding a chess game in one hand and a chess piece in the other, playing chess in front of him, listening with relish with both hearts.

Ji Lanzhou has always been a smart person. Duanmu crooked his little face, looking at the chess game and smiling.

Bi Chan continued: "Miss Ji has sent someone to pick up Mrs. Wang, placed her in a village on the outskirts of Beijing, and invited two mothers-in-law to wait......

Bi Chan was also a little embarrassed when she said, "As for the rest of the Wang family, Miss Ji didn't pay attention to it anymore. ”

For Ji Lanzhou, Mrs. Wang is her own grandmother, and she has a stroke again, and she has no ability to survive, from the perspective of filial piety, she can't ignore it, anyway, it is easy to invite two mothers-in-law, and it saves people from always being taken out and discussed.

As for the rest of the Wang family, considering that Ji Lanzhou's mother died in the hands of Wang Zhilian for no apparent reason, and the Wang family is suspected of encroaching on the Ji family's property, even if she doesn't care about it, no one will question it.

Bi Chan could also understand this truth, and said with emotion: "Girl, Miss Ji is really a smart person!" ”

After a pause, she smiled and praised her girl: "Girl, you are smarter!" ”

At this time, Duanmujun happened to open the curtain and came in, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he echoed with a smile: "Of course!" ”

Vera is the smartest!

"Zhenzhen, it's almost time."

Duanmufei immediately put down the chess game in his hand, stepped forward and grabbed Duanmujun's arm, "Sister, I'm ready." ”

Today is a small ceremony for Li Tingyou and Han Xing.

For Duanmujun and Duanmufei, one is a cousin and the other is a cousin, this is a big day, Hanxing came to be coquettish three days in advance, and the two agreed to go to the palace to witness today.

The sisters first went to the princess's mansion in Wuyang, and after picking up Wuyang, they went to the queen together, and when the three of them arrived at the queen's Fengluan Palace, it was just the time, Duanmu Guifei and Hanxing were already there. The fastest network update Mobile::/m.. com/

Today's Hanxing is dressed very beautifully, wearing a begonia red wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing a flower cloud brocade gown, delicate and luxurious, and the ruby beads between the sideburns reflect her skin as flawless as jade, radiant.

She sat upright in the main hall, dignified and noble.

"Sister Huang, cousin Xuan, cousin Scarlet!"

As soon as Han Xing saw Wuyang and the sisters coming with the palace maid, he jumped up from the high-backed chair and stepped forward to greet him with a smile, his steps were light and lively, and the dignified temperament on his body was instantly swept away.

The smile on the corner of Duanmu Guifei's mouth, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, froze suddenly, and the corners of her eyes twitched, for this unconscious daughter, she really had no choice.

Ay.

Duanmu Guifei sighed silently in her heart, and the decree of marriage was also issued, let this girl pretend to be first, and then settle the horse.

It's not easy to be a mother!

Duanmu Guifei and the queen on the phoenix throne exchanged a sympathetic look.

The queen looked at the four girls' homes below, and her eyes inevitably fell on Wuyang, thinking that her daughter's marriage had not yet been settled, and she was very helpless.

The four girls were unaware, talking with a smile, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces, which made the air in this hall seem to have become a lot fresher. <

The laughter came and went.

Without a cup of tea, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's second wife, Xin, arrived with a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites, just in time for the auspicious time.

Several maids accompanying the Li family also held Nacai gifts, including Hehuan, Jia Ahe, Ejiao, Jiuzipu, Zhu Wei, Shuangshi, cotton wool, longevity, dry lacquer and other nine kinds.

The most striking thing is a pair of lively white geese, and the use of live geese as a salute has always best represented the man's respect for the woman.

For today's ceremony, it is also a good start, Duanmu Guifei is very satisfied, and she is more friendly to the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

With the assistance and guidance of several officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Court Division, the ceremony was carried out step by step, solemn and orderly, and then several attendants on Hanxing's side also presented the return salute one by one.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family respectfully thanked the queen and the concubine, and Mrs. Li personally inserted a red gold filigree inlay with ruby Luan phoenix hairpin to Han Xing, which shone brightly.

Next, I will wait for Han Xing and Lu to do the next recruitment, invitation and personal welcome ceremony, but after today's small ceremony, the names of Han Xing and Li Tingyou are decided.

Both sides were relieved.

Today is the first time that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xin have met Duanmu Guifei, although they haven't said a few words, but from the smiling face of the concubine, it has already made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feel that there is really a father and a daughter.

Duanmu Guifei actually asked the Li family how the Li family was when her daughter first met the Li family, Hanxing said truthfully, and when she saw it with her own eyes today, she was more relieved, and she only felt that she was worthy of being the foreign family of Duanmujun and Duanmufei, and her character was good.

Although Hanxing must have a princess's mansion after getting married, Duanmu Guifei is a transparent person and knows that only the princess and the concubine's family can live with the concubine for a long time and be happy with the concubine.

Duanmu Guifei felt a lot more relieved, only to feel that her daughter had already married half of her, and the next thing was the eldest son's family.

Thinking of her eldest son, Duanmu Guifei looked at Duanmu Jun's expression a little complicated, and hoped that her son would come back from the south as soon as possible......

The various entanglements in Duanmu Guifei's heart, of course, the Li family did not know, after the end of the small ceremony, Mrs. Li and the Xin family said goodbye, Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei also retired from the queen, and were pulled by Han Xing to the direction of Zhongcui Palace, leaving Wuyang to talk to the queen in Fengluan Palace.

The sun at the end of May was a little too bright, and it shed a scorching glow.

Duanmu Guifei walked unhurriedly in the front, and the three cousins followed behind her.

"Cousin Scarlet, don't you think the Third Emperor Sister's wedding in Gusu is very harmonious?" Han Xing took Duanmu Fei's arm and whispered in her ear, but in fact, she didn't lower her voice, Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Guifei also heard it.

The corners of Duanmu Guifei's eyes twitched again, thinking: Do you need to say this?! Her daughter is really lacking in a heart!

Han Xing, who was walking in the rear, of course, couldn't see the face of the concubine, and continued: "Originally, the palace just felt that the third emperor sister was in a hurry to marry, but now that I think about it, it seems that I haven't had a small or big ......ceremony."

Duanmu was stunned, thinking back to the scene in Fengluan Palace, and also realized that something was wrong.

Yes, today's Hanxing's small ceremony is so grand, but at the beginning, the third princess seemed to get married in Gusu after only two steps: invitation and personal welcome. This means that all the rituals in between are simplified.

I'm afraid it's not as good as ordinary people!

Han Xing blinked and said thoughtfully: "Third Emperor Sister, she can't have made any big mistake and provoked her father, right?" ”

Nine times out of ten, yes. Duanmu nodded sympathetically.

Duanmu Guifei continued to walk forward, and she didn't know whether it was better to say that her daughter was dull, or that she was not slow to get home.

At that time, the marriage of the three princesses was not only urgent, but also did not have a little royal demeanor, and even after the emperor returned to Beijing in April, he neither asked the Ministry of Rites to make up the dowry for the three princesses, nor did he build the princess's mansion, and anyone with a little heart could see that the three princesses were almost banished by the emperor.

The corners of Duanmu Guifei's red lips curled slightly, revealing a bit of mockery.

Speaking of which, although her daughter lacks heart, she is always better than Shu Yun who thinks she is smart!

The four of them walked along a cobblestone path, and Zhong Cui Palace had already appeared in front of them.

Duanmu Guifei didn't bother to take care of the affairs of Concubine Wen's family, and took advantage of the fact that her two nieces were rare to enter the palace, and asked casually: "Sister Jun, how is the family doing lately?" ”

There's really something going on at home.

Duanmu Jun didn't hide it from Duanmu Guifei, and even said a few words about Xiao He's being sent away.

Duanmu Guifei sighed embarrassedly, and stopped at the gate of the courtyard of Zhongcui Palace, where the lush green shade reflected on her face, and her expression was a little more dignified.

"Brother Heng is good in everything, but there is such an unobtrusive mother...... It's okay to send people away, don't make trouble everywhere, it will affect Brother Heng'er's future. ”

Like her second brother, although he has no interest, he always doesn't cause trouble for the family, and many times, ordinary is not necessarily a blessing.

The leaves and branches above swayed in the wind, and the rustling sound seemed to echo Duanmu Guifei.

"Sister Jun, fortunately, you can do it, with you in charge, our Duanmu family will be safe and sound all these years." Duanmu Guifei turned her head to look at Duanmu Jun's delicate and bright face, and said with emotion, "These years have been eventful, and all kinds of things have happened in Beijing, and many mansions have sunk......

Han Xing was impatient to listen to this, and hurriedly took Duanmu Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, Erchen and Cousin Fei go to play in the imperial garden!" ”

Before the words fell, she had already pulled Duanmu Fei and ran away, as if she was afraid that Duanmu Guifei would stop her, she saw that Duanmu Guifei was angry and funny, and muttered softly: "This girl is married, and she is still so frizzy!" ”

Han Xing didn't hear it, and trotted away with Duanmu Fei, and when he couldn't see Zhong Cui Palace when he turned around, he slowed down.

"Luckily, I ran fast." Han Xing patted his chest and said, "Cousin Scarlet, don't you know, the mother has been talking a lot lately...... "I wanted to tell her what the way of being a woman was like this."

The palace maid in the back lowered her eyes silently, and she could probably understand the complicated feelings of the concubine, her own princess was almost in time, and she was like a child.

Han Xing was still complaining: "Recently, the mother concubine has not allowed the palace to leave the palace, saying that Xiao Dingli is here, let the palace stay in the palace obediently, in fact, Xiao Dingli has nothing to do with the palace." I heard that these days in the capital is so lively, the affairs of the Wang family are spreading, and the main palace is in the palace, so I can't inquire about the details. ”

As she spoke, she stared at Duanmu Fei expectantly, "Cousin Scarlet, you should know, right?" Talk to Hongu! ”

Duanmu Fei nodded, and then learned Bi Chan's tone vividly, and told all the gossip she had heard.

Han Xing's eyes became brighter and brighter as the stars in the night sky, and he sighed suffocatingly: "It's all because the mother concubine doesn't let the palace go out to see the excitement!" "Why did she miss such a big bustle!

Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei and continued to walk in the direction of the Imperial Garden, and asked, "Cousin Scarlet, do you know what happened to the rest of the Wang family?" ”

Duanmu shook her head, she didn't know this.

For the Wang family, she doesn't look down on it, and she doesn't care, it's just that Bi Chan said it, and she just listened to it casually.

Han Xing just asked casually, and left the Wang family behind in a blink of an eye, and the cousins came to the small lake in the imperial garden, and the lotus flowers in the pond at the end of May were half put aside and half waited, and the pink petals were as delicate and moist as pink jade.

As soon as the wind blows, the lotus leaves of the small half pond sway slightly, and the elegant lotus fragrance comes with the wind.

Hanxing and Duanmu Fei went hand in hand to sit down in the pavilion by the lake.

The cornices of the pavilion blocked the scorching sun, and it was much cooler, and the chamberlains came diligently to fan the wind or pour tea for the two masters.

Han Xing took Duanmu Fei's hand and refused to let go, and asked earnestly: "Cousin Fei, will you stay with the palace for a few days?" ”

When she asked, the two attendants in the pavilion immediately stopped, staring at Duanmu Fei with burning eyes, with a look of anticipation.

"Cousin Hanxing, just spare me!" Duanmu shook her head without thinking about it, she didn't want to get up early to go to class every day.

The two chamberlains looked as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on their heads, and their eyes darkened a lot.

Han Xing didn't give up, and persuaded again: "Scarlet cousin, let's skip class together!" ”

That's it! The two chamberlains thought it was true, and the four girls didn't want to go to the study to take classes, so they didn't believe that Taifu dared to do anything to the four girls!

Duanmu Fei is not so easy to coax, her little face is crooked, "Aunt Guifei will let you?" ”

"......" Hanxing sighed helplessly.

Originally, she thought that her marriage was decided, and the mother should rest assured, but how could the result be the opposite, the mother stared at her more and more tightly, and she just wanted to teach her to be a talented girl in a few months!

I don't want to know if she's this material!

What Han Xing thought, he said it, which made Duanmu Fei laugh, and the two cousins laughed, and the silver bell-like laughter floated out of the pavilion and echoed on the sparkling lake.

The laughter is loud, and the lotus fragrance is bursting.

The two chamberlains exchanged a look helplessly, it seemed that the four girls could not come to live in the palace, and the subordinates did not dare to stop, and continued to fan the two diligently, wondering if they had to prepare a small boat for the four girls......

The two chamberlains silently exchanged eyes secretly.

After Duanmu Fei finished laughing, he remembered to get down to business, held Han Xing's hand with his backhand, and changed his words: "Cousin Han Xing, my sister and I plan to raise some silver to buy grain, grass and clothes for the northern side." ”

Han Xing didn't know much about the imperial affairs, but the 800-mile urgent military report in the north made the emperor angry, and even the palace was shrouded in clouds for several days, so he knew some of the predicament in the north.

"Cousin Scarlet, you and Cousin Jun have a good idea! Hongu is also together! Han Xing nodded again and again, and then showed a little annoyance, "This palace has always spent as many as it wants, and this month's case is about to be spent by this palace." "Especially now that it's almost the end of the month.

But......

Han Xing thought of something, suddenly stood up, took Duanmu Fei's hand and walked out, "Let's go, go with the palace to find Cui Zhai!" ”

The two chamberlains in the pavilion were dumbfounded.

Hey, these four princesses are too unreliable, they didn't leave the four girls in the palace to play, why didn't they pull people away before their butts were hot! They also want to give the four girls to play with Ye Xiaozhou!

Under the reluctant gaze of the two chamberlains, the cousins ran away in a hurry.

After going to Micui Zhai, he didn't sit down, so he took Duanmu Fei and went directly to the inner room, took out his jewelry box, and said triumphantly: "Although there is no silver in this palace, there are jewelry, just be it!" ”

Congzhen and Yingluo looked at their four princesses indescribably, and finally Congzhen reminded: "Your Highness, the jewelry in the palace is from the Inner Court Division, and most of them are engraved. ”

Hanxing dares to sell these jewelry, and those pawnshops outside may not dare to accept it.

Han Xing was reminded by Congzhen, and also remembered, she was not discouraged, and said while opening the box: "This palace remembers that there are still many time-honored brands in the palace that come from Beijing, Jiangnan and Liangguang. ”

The jewels, gems, jade, gold ornaments, etc., are all available in the box, and the room seems to be lit up.

Han Xing casually picked up a golden lock with eight treasures, and said affirmatively: "The inlay engraving technology of Juyuan Building far surpasses that of the Inner Court Division Office and other firms, and this golden lock must be from Juyuan Building." ”

"The carvings on this Yingluo look like the handwriting of Lian Hezhai."

"And this bracelet with gold and jade......"

Hanxing didn't look at the trade name stamp on the jewelry at all, just a few treasures.

Duanmu Fei was a little curious, and every time Han Xing put down a piece, he leaned over to look at the stamp on the jewelry, and he was dumbfounded.

Terrible! Duanmu Fei looked at Han Xing with admiring eyes, and said in her heart: Han Xing, she actually remembered these small details clearly and knew it by heart.

One by one, the jewelry was picked out of the box by Han Xing and randomly placed into another smaller empty box, and after a while, the empty box was full.

Duanmu Fei left empty-handed, but he left the palace with a full load.
