"Sister-in-law said that the owner of Shenzhitang is self-made?" Yang Jinxin asked again.

Green Butterfly thought for a moment, shook her head honestly, and said, "This slave doesn't know. Why don't you ask the slave and maid? ”

Yang Jinxin wanted to say "no", but nodded slightly, bit his lip and said "um".

After October, it is the winter moon.

When the first snow fell in Sheng Jingkai, Song Jie officially asked people to hand over the post to the Yang Mansion. Wuxinghou has a new Wuxinghou Mansion, and the plaque in front of the gate of Yang's Mansion has finally been replaced with a calm and atmospheric "Xingguo Mansion" with gold paint on a black background.

What Song Jie's post wants to see, of course, is with Amber.

He successfully entered the gate of the Xingguo Mansion, and when he walked through the fork in the road, a housekeeper's mother greeted him with a smile and a salute, "But Lord Song?" The eldest princess wants to meet you. ”

Song Jie just had a friendship with Yang Guangbei.

In the past, when he came to Yang Guangbei, no elder asked to see him.

At this time, Song Jie was prepared when he heard this, so he politely responded and said, "It's down." I also have to bother this mother to lead the way. "Whether it is in the name of the eldest princess or in the name of Yang Guangbei's grandmother, since he has brought it up, Song Jie can't have any refusal.

Mother Yun smiled very enthusiastically, and while leading the way, she asked about Mrs. Lin's body. As he spoke, he arrived at the Rongxiang Hall.

"The Duchess of Dingguo and the county lord are also inside." Before Song Jie entered the door, Mother Yun mentioned a sentence and asked, "Do you want to help you inform the eldest prince and the eldest young lady?" ”

Song Jie shook his head slightly, not accepting Mother Yun's kindness.

Such a scene. He doesn't need Yang Guangbei and Lin Yijia to come to the rescue. Besides, from the moment he stepped on the ground of the Xingguo Mansion, every move was probably under Yang Guangbei's gaze......

Straightening his robe, Song Jie stepped into the Rongxiang Hall, calmly glanced at the graceful and noble old woman sitting in the hall, bowed and saluted: "Junior Song Jie, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness the princess is blessed with many blessings and longevity, and she will be happy and healthy. ”

"Get up." The eldest princess of the Red Moon has a kind demeanor. smiled at the Duchess of Dingguo, who was sitting on the side: "Look, this palace said that Guangbei's best friend is really good, and he is worthy of being the Tanhualang appointed by the first emperor." ”

Song Jie's recent weight loss has been a little heavier, and because of the death of his wife, there is no gentle smile on his face, and he is wearing a moon-white robe. A little more handsome. And he is over twenty-five years old, and he has been an official for many years, and there is a kind of calmness and majesty in Zhou.

This kind of temperament is by no means comparable to that sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who has never been in the world.

The Duchess of Dingguo also looked at him carefully today, and she was very satisfied with this view. The corners of his mouth had already unconsciously smiled, and he nodded and praised: "What my mother said is very true." ”

Song Jie was already standing upright. Said politely: "Your Highness has praised it." ”

The eldest princess of Hongyue is much more indifferent than the Duchess of Xingguo. Of course, she is also satisfied with Song Jie in her heart, and she will not be too happy, and she can't wait, which makes people look down on her. I only heard her nod slightly, looked at Song Jie's plain dress, and then asked, "Your wife's business." Is it arranged? If it's useful, just go to Guangbei. ”

His Royal Highness Lao is worried. It's all in place. Song Jie's face was calm and he didn't say much.

The eldest princess of the Red Moon asked again, "That's good." What's next for you? I heard that there are young sons and young daughters in your family, plus those who exchange salutes, there must always be someone in this inner house. ”

Song Jie took a sip and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern." It's just that the wife is newly mourned, and the younger generation is not in the mood to think about anything else. As for the two young children, before the younger generation entered Beijing, they had already entrusted them to the hands of their mothers, so there was no need to worry. ”

There was a sudden movement behind the screen, as if a vase had fallen on a thick carpet and made a dull sound as it rolled.

The eldest princess of Hongyue was unmoved, seeing that the Duchess of Dingguo was anxious and wanted to get up, the eldest princess stared at her sternly, and after the Duchess of Dingguo sat down again, she took a sip of tea and said to Song Jie: "You are a child of long-term affection." ”

Song Jie was silent.

The eldest princess of the Red Moon asked again: "This palace heard that your term of office in Luzhou is almost over, do you have any other plans?" Your teacher will definitely return to Beijing next year...... With Lord Lin's qualifications, it is no problem to be a chief official in Beijing, and I heard that this palace has already been discussed. ”

It's just that the six Shangshu are all alive, and it's hard to make a gap.

If you are afraid of other people, you don't expect it, but Lin Shiqing's qualifications are not good, and several sons-in-law are extremely influential in the court, he wants to recover, even if he doesn't have a good position, Emperor Ying Qing will make a good position for him!

"This, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, the lower officials don't dare to have ideas." Song Jiedao.

These words were obviously perfunctory, and the eldest princess of the Red Moon couldn't help but turn pale.

Song Jie paused, and then said: "I personally still hope to be able to stay with the teacher and listen to the teacher's teachings at all times." ”

In other words, if Lin Shiqing returns to Beijing to take up his post, he Song Jie, also hopes to return to Shengjing.

The eldest princess of the Red Moon pale, her face eased, and she said, "Lin Qin is indeed of a noble character. ”

Then she asked about Song Jie's and the Lin family's affairs in Luzhou, and after chatting some common words, she said to Song Jie with a pleasant face: "I'm afraid that Guangbei and his daughter-in-law are in a hurry to wait for you." Go ahead. ”

"The juniors are retiring." Song Jie saluted respectfully.

Walking out of the courtyard gate of Rongxiang Hall, Song Jie really saw a young lady on the edge of a rockery in front of him. I saw that she was dressed in begonia red, in the background of blue-gray Taihu Lake stone and withered branches and snow, as if she was a delicate flower blooming between heaven and earth, delicate and beautiful.

The place where she stood was exactly where Song Jie had to pass forward.

"That's the county lord." Mother Yun reminded Song Jiedao.

Song Jie nodded slightly, took a step and walked forward calmly. He looked at Wei Wei calmly and without hesitation, walked a few feet away in front of her before stopping, saluted calmly and politely, and wanted to continue walking past Wei Wei.

In this case, Song Jie's performance was undoubtedly polite and impeccable.

If he deliberately turned a blind eye to Wei Wei, it was obviously impossible; And as a foreign man, if he takes the initiative to talk to the ladies of the boudoir, he will inevitably behave frivolously.

And in this case, Wei Wei, as a well-educated noblewoman, should respond the most, obviously after the same salute, she lowered her head sideways to avoid it, gave way to the road, and let the foreign man pass......

Wei Wei did hang her head and avoided it sideways.

The handkerchief in her hand was clenched tightly, and her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst out. She saw Song Jie's white-bottomed soap boots appear in her sight, and walked calmly from the extremely clean bluestone slab that had been cleaned, one step at a time, and disappeared from her sight...... Leaving only the breath that belonged to him, it roasted her head and coaxed her.

Wei Wei raised her head unwillingly, wanting to shout something at Wei Wei's back, but found that she seemed to have lost her voice, and her mouth opened several times, but she couldn't make a single sound.

Ahead was the corner, and Song Jie's figure finally disappeared from her sight.

Wei Wei suddenly lost her strength, squatted on the ground, tears filled her eyes - he passed in front of her, but she didn't have the courage to do anything!

It's really useless!

Wei Wei secretly hated that she was useless, and threw the handkerchief in her hand forward with all her might.

"County Lord." Mother Yun let out a low cry.

Didn't Mother Yun send him over, why did she talk in front again? Wei Wei was startled, and suddenly looked up, but just happened to see her handkerchief embroidered with happy eyebrows fluttering and dancing in the breeze, and Song Jie, behind the square veil, looked at her deeply.

Wei Wei was about to stand up as soon as she "snorted".

She got up too violently and quickly, the blood in her whole body rushed to her head, and there was a sudden "buzz" in her ears, and she was unstable on her footing, and she was about to fall on the rockery next to her.

The rockery is made of real stone, and if she falls headlong on it, she will definitely be injured.

Just when she was about to fall, Song Jie's body suddenly moved, and in the next moment, she had already supported Wei Wei.

He put his hands on Wei Wei's waist slightly, and said in a low voice: "The road is slippery after the snow, the county lord should be careful." ”

Wei Wei's cheeks suddenly seemed to be on fire, and she only felt that the big hands on her waist were like soldering irons, which made her know why.

She still tried to stabilize her body, but she couldn't say anything, and after standing firm, she saluted Song Jie and thanked him.

Song Jie let go and stepped back, and after returning the salute, he turned around and left again.

This time, he finally didn't turn back.

Wei Wei didn't understand why Song Jie would turn back.

She stood on the edge of the rockery, letting the cold wind blow her hot cheeks for a long time, and it was difficult to calm the pounding heart. At last, with a little difficulty, she took a step out, and then she walked more steadily, and walked to the side of the moon wall, where the plum tree had just budded, and reached out to pluck the square handkerchief from the branch, and held it tightly in her hand.

It's like a treasure.

In the Rongxiang Hall, the eldest princess of the red moon and the duchess of Dingguo heard the maid's painting and depicted this scene, nodded and asked the maid to give a reward to the maid. Duchess Dingguo let out a long breath and said, "Now, I can finally rest assured." ”

She said unsatisfactorily: "I just heard him say that he didn't leak, and I thought he was reluctant." It turned out to be also pretended. ”

Not to mention whether Lin Yijia conveyed it or not, the Duchess of Dingguo believes that when they were in the court, they had conveyed their meaning very clearly. But Song Jie, not to mention that he didn't show a trace of joy, he didn't even leak his mouth.

Although the Duchess of Dingguo was reluctant to admit it in her heart, just now, because of Song Jie's attitude, she really didn't have a little confidence in her heart.

The eldest princess of the Red Moon glanced indifferently at the happy Duchess of Dingguo and did not speak. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
