Jia Mingyuan really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he left Xu Ning and walked forward, and his steps were very big.

When Xu Ning trotted to catch up with him, he turned his head and gave him a sentence: "Brother Xu, you are a big man, you don't study hard, why do you ask about these things like a woman's family, you hear about it one by one, one by two sentences, since they are all heard, then you must not be taken seriously, you are also a person who is a servant in the criminal department, why don't you even understand this truth, and dare to talk nonsense?" ”

Xu Ning: "......"

He now really knows that some people are not stupid, but really don't give them a chance.

He used to think that Jia Mingyuan was very wooden, except for reading dead books, he almost didn't know anything, but he was still like a peacock with a screen open, feeling that he was invincible in the world and brilliant in literature.

Now he knows that Jia Mingyuan has the ability to be arrogant, and he has only been in the Criminal Department for a few days, and his mouth is a knife, and he doesn't even have a chance to shave Xu Ning back.

He didn't follow anymore, he fell down alone, looked at Jia Mingyuan who was getting farther and farther away, and said hatefully: "You shouldn't be able to marry a daughter-in-law, you should." ”

Looking back, I don't seem to have a daughter-in-law, although I moved out of the original place, but compared with Jia's house, that house is still far behind, and the official position is also under Jia Mingyuan.

Hey...... people are more popular than people!

Jia Mingyuan, who made Xu Ning angry to half death, was not as rational as he said, and when he saw that his companion did not follow, his steps slowed down, and while walking on the street, he recalled Xu Ning's words in his mind.

In fact, he had heard a little bit of it, but he had never believed it very much, and today it was confirmed by Xu Ningyi, as if those things that he once didn't believe in were true, and Zhuang Siyan really had an inexplicable relationship with Ye Yuanpei.

But she is the emperor's concubine, how could the emperor agree.

Jia Mingyuan thought, so this matter is not established, it is only because Brother Si has a good personality, so it looks like he is very good with everyone, so he will be misunderstood.

But if she says so, it doesn't make sense, why will she be unhappy when she returns to Beijing?

General Ye is the pillar of the country, and he disappeared like this, the hearts of the people of the entire Dasheng Dynasty are uncomfortable, Zhuang Siyan is in a bad mood, he can still understand one or two.

But what Xu Ning said was not unreasonable, her sadness seemed to be stronger than everyone else, and it lasted for a long time.

Is that their relationship, really as rumored by the outside world, unclear.

Of course, like Zhuang Siyan once followed Ye Yuanpei to the south, and checked some details of the case with him, Jia Mingyuan didn't know.

Zhuang Siyan, whom he knew, still started with him for disaster relief, and not long ago he learned that she was a woman disguised as a man and a lady in the palace, so many things could not be connected at all.

Si Si Dun returned to the mansion, and Old Lady Jia was already waiting for him.

Jia Mingyuan pinched his head, and when he saw his mother's posture, he wanted to go out, but it was still too late.

"Yuan'er, come here." Mrs. Jia stopped him and put a picture in front of him.

"This is what your sister chose for you, Qiu Lingyin, the daughter of Zhenbei Hou, I heard that she is a good girl who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she just entered Beijing recently, and your sister will arrange for you to meet her."

Jia Mingyuan couldn't raise his interest at all, and muttered, "I heard again?" You haven't seen her, how do you know she's knowledgeable? Also, isn't my sister locked up in Qixiang Palace? Now it's out? ”

As soon as Mrs. Jia heard this, she became a little angry, and reached out and slapped his palm lightly on his shoulder, obviously feeling distressed when she hit him hard, and she felt distressed when she hit lightly.

"How can you talk like this, even if your sister lives in Qixiang Palace, she is still a concubine, and the last time the emperor went to Pingyang Pass, he let her come out."

Jia Mingyuan let out a brief "oh" and got up to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Jia.

"Look at what you look like now, I heard your father say that you did a good job in the Criminal Department, and you have also obtained the emperor's common sense in the cases you handled, why did you come home with such a face?"

Jia Mingyuan turned his head and looked at his mother helplessly: "Mother, don't use this word, okay?" What you hear is not necessarily true. ”

He himself didn't know how to pass with a word, probably because he really didn't believe in what happened to Zhuang Siyan.

As for what his mother said about the daughter of Zhenbei Hou, he didn't bother to look at it, but Jia Mingyuan also knew that since his sister had come forward in this matter, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to push it again, and she would find a reason to let herself meet anyway.

Sure enough, within two days, news came from the palace.

The concubine Niangniang set up a banquet and invited the family members of Beihou in Beijing Town, and the companion was her mother's family, and it seemed that she also pulled the family members of several officials together, but those people were just foils.

Jia Mingyuan wanted to find an excuse to prevaricate in the past, but Mrs. Jia blocked him back with a word: "This is your sister's words, if you don't go, go to her yourself, you reason with me here, and my mother can't understand." ”

On the old and the old, Jia Mingyuan is convinced of his mother, and the old lady who is obviously very shrewd says that even his father can't do anything about playing skin.

The matter was settled in his helplessness.

The concubine in the palace is a big concubine, and she still has certain rights, and now she is also a deacon in the entire harem, so it is not a big deal to invite the family members of some meritorious officials to come in.

The feast was set at the Hall of Reverence near the north gate of the palace.

Jia Mingyuan was a little nervous, he was so old that he thought that except for his sisters and sisters, maids and servants, the only woman he came into contact with was Zhuang Siyan.

In the past, Zhuang Siyan was gentle and elegant, not only sitting still, but also giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Now she is dignified and generous, like a man, which makes Jia Mingyuan feel some awe when he is with her.

After all, he has not come into contact with this kind of woman who is beautiful and shy in her face, and her purpose is not pure now, just to see others and marry them home, which makes Jia Mingyuan feel at a loss.

But his mother and sister were extremely enthusiastic about this, and they were able to deal with it easily, but it made the wives and daughters of the eunuchs who came to the banquet very uneasy, for fear that one would accidentally offend them.

Jia Mingyuan did not come forward, and was arranged by Jia Xian to sit behind the screen.

Through the screen, he couldn't see the outside world, but he was uneasy enough to sit, so he quietly walked out from behind while his sister and mother were not paying attention.

But the palace is not as good as the outside, it is not allowed to move around at will, it stands to reason that foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem, and fortunately, Jia Xian is a concubine, so there are some honors, but it does not mean that the men who come in can walk around.

Jia Mingyuan has read sages since he was a child, and he still respects etiquette very much, so he just found a remote corner in the Hall of Reverence to hide, so as not to be seen or disturbed.

In a pavilion in the corner of the wall, it was a good place to go because the summer breeze was gentle at this time, and Jia Mingyuan saw it from afar, so he walked straight there.

Unexpectedly, when I got closer, I heard two women talking in a place covered by trees and flowers.

"Miss, sit down and go back, otherwise Madame should be in a hurry."

There was a pause in the middle before another woman spoke: "Well, I really want to go out early, it's better to leave the capital early." ”

Hearing this, the maid said smartly: "Miss, my lord has returned to Beijing this time, I heard that there is something important, and I am afraid that I will not go back for a while."

Also, I heard that the son of the Jia family is very talented, and now he is working in the Criminal Department, why don't you have a good impression of him? ”

As soon as the young lady heard this, she was a little angry: "Shameless girl, hold your mouth, those things about men outside, how can you be a girl talking nonsense here?" It's just a matter of talking in front of me, if you go out in the future, dare to say a word in front of others, don't blame me for kicking you out. ”

The maid hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't dare, miss, it's the slave's fault." ”

As he spoke, he had a good relationship with his master on weekdays, and he knew that she was not really punished, and he was really angry, so he leaned over and said: "Miss, I'm just talking to you alone, think about you waiting for the boudoir here, and there is no one to talk to, isn't it thanks to Xiaohong to relieve your boredom?" ”

The master and servant whispered something in a few more words, which seemed to touch the sadness of the young lady, so it caused a few sighs.

Jia Mingyuan had no intention of listening to the corner, but when he walked here, he heard people talking, and the voice was also gentle and tactful, even when he was angry, it was also very good, and it seemed to be familiar, but it made him stop and stay.

When the other party stopped talking, and when he heard the footsteps coming this way, Jia Mingyuan couldn't hide if he wanted to, and in a panic, he could only stop in the middle of the road, pretending to be going this way.

Qiu Lingyin took her personal lady, and as soon as she came out of the pavilion, she saw a man walking towards them with a cloth fold on his body.

Out of politeness, she bowed slightly, but men and women were not kissed, and they were in the forbidden place of the palace, so she didn't say anything, and walked past him with the maid Xiaohong.

She was out of the shyness of her daughter's family, and she didn't dare to look up at Jia Mingyuan.

Jia Mingyuan couldn't help but glance at her because of her voice just now.

At this glance, he instantly let himself fall, and the shy silhouette with such a sideways body was six or seven points like Zhuang Siyan in the past.

But her voice seems to be better than Zhuang Siyan's, and the shyness and reserve of her daughter's home are fundamentally different from the current Si Da.

Jia Mingyuan didn't want to be a disciple, but his footsteps stopped, and he followed Qiu Lingyin, step by step, until the other party hid around the corner, and finally turned around and glanced at him, almost taking away his soul.

At this time, Jia Mingyuan didn't know that this was the candidate that Jia Xian strongly recommended to him, and he didn't know that because of his abruptness, Qiu Lingyin was not interested in people like Jia Fu, and now he hates him even more.

When the banquet in the palace was dispersed, Jia Xian came over to ask him, but when he had a woman he liked, he naturally took Qiu Lingyin out again.

"I look at Miss Qiu as very good, knowledgeable, measured in words and deeds, and good in appearance, but she is worthy of her reputation, and she is right with our Yemeni family."

Jia Mingyuan's face turned a little red, and it took a while before he held back a sentence: "But it's up to my sister to decide." ”
