Chapter 242: Meritorious Service (3)
The Zheng family, who was immersed in pain, could still listen to Jiang's words, but in front of Lan Zhili, the hysterical Zheng and the calm Jiang had long formed a sharp contrast.
Zheng and Jiang were originally not on good terms, but when they heard Jiang say this, they naturally thought that she wanted to see her jokes, and she became more and more ashamed.
A lot of emotions accumulated together, so that she still lost her mind, she didn't care whether Zhao Yancheng was present or not, she actually raised her hand and slapped Jiang in the face viciously.
Bang Bang β
Two crisp sounds echoed in everyone's ears, and Zheng pointed at Jiang's nose and scolded: "Slut, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? I tell you, my son will not have an accident, and I will not let my son have an accident, you put away your fancy heart. β
Jiang Shi just felt that her face was hot, if it was in the past, she would definitely take this opportunity to win some pity and distress from Lan Zhili, but at this moment, she just wanted to escape from here, she-
She was beaten in the face, and happened to fall into Zhao Yancheng's eyes, Zhao Yancheng almost couldn't hide his distress, and even unconsciously stepped forward, but the more he was like this, the more embarrassed Jiang Shi became, she didn't want him to see her like this now.
She hurriedly turned her face away and didn't look at him, Lan Zhili lost face in front of her colleagues, and said in a deep voice: "You are enough, you don't look at what kind of place this is, on weekdays, you are flying in the back house, don't you even know the most basic etiquette and shame now?" I want to show my ugliness in front of outsiders to look good, right? β
Zheng had already recovered from Fang Cai's excitement, and looked at Zhao Yancheng who was standing behind Lan Zhili, his face was full of disdain, such disdain, in Zhao Yancheng's eyes, was very dazzling.
She pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Master-"
Lan Zhili was afraid that she would be crazy again, so she said, "Okay, Mrs. must be tired today, take Mrs. back." β
Saying that, he looked at the servant girl behind Zheng lightly, and the servant girl understood, hurriedly stepped forward to support Zheng, and said respectfully: "Yes, master." β
Zheng wanted to say more, but saw his maid gently pull her sleeve, shook her head at herself, she also accepted it when she saw it, sobbed, and left with her maidservant.
For a while, only Jiang and Lan Zhili and others were left, Lan Zhili looked at Jiang's slightly red and swollen cheeks, and said to Jade: "I asked Lang Zhong to prescribe a little medicine for the second lady to invigorate blood and reduce swelling." β
Jade also responded, Lan Zhili hummed softly, Jiang Shi had tears in his eyes, but he desperately didn't let it fall, she leaned over slightly and said, "Since the master has a guest, the concubine will go back first." β
Lan Zhili waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down." β
Since Zheng left, Jiang never looked at Zhao Yancheng again, she turned around and left decisively, but her steps were a little messy, which was enough to see the panic in her heart.
Lan Zhili turned to Zhao Yancheng and said, "Let you see the smile." β
Zhao Yancheng hurriedly returned to his senses and said: "Madam is also worried about the young master, she is just in a hurry, and she can't be laughed." β
Lan Zhili admired Zhao Yancheng's knowledge of current affairs very much, and led him to the study.
On the other side, Jade first sent the depressed Jiang back to the room, poured a cup of hot tea, and asked the subordinate to prepare hot eggs, peeled the skin, helped her put it on her face and rolled it carefully, and said softly: "Second lady, this lady is too much, dare to do this in front of the masterββ"
Jiang Shi knew that she was not angry, but what she was thinking about now was not this, she said, "That's it, I'm used to it, isn't it?" β
Jade sighed lightly, got up and called a maid over and said, "You rub it for the second lady, and I'll go and ask Langzhong." β
Jiang Shi waved his hand and stopped: "You don't need to move the people, just knead it with eggs." β
Seeing that she looked tired and seemed to be absent-minded, Jade felt a little strange and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" β
As soon as Jiang Shi came back to his senses, he hurriedly hid the panic in his eyes, pushed away the maid's hand, and said, "I'm just a little tired, okay, Jade, you take everyone down, I want to rest for a while." β
Jade nodded, and led the person down.
When everyone left, they saw Jiang Shi go from his makeup to a disguise bracelet wrapped in red cloth, it was a bracelet of very poor color, and even a small crack on the top, but I couldn't see it, Jiang Shi stroked and took out the gap, but felt as if she was caressing the gap in her heart, her thoughts couldn't help but drift away, at that time, the young girl said to the man: "Brother Yancheng, when you are in high school, will you marry me?" β
The man was dressed in shabby clothes, which had been washed white by pulp, held the girl's hand, and swore solemnly: "Naturally, when I stay in high school, I will definitely marry Qingqing as my wife, Qingqing, you can trust me?" β
The girl's expression is firm, but no matter how beautiful the oath is, it can't withstand the passage of time, Zhao Yancheng has not been successful for several years, and Jiang's drunkard father lost his last patience, and finally sold Jiang Qingqing to Ya Pozi, and was finally sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a maid.
Along the way, no one can tell whether it was a trick of fate or what, and now when they meet again, they are already at the age of becoming parents, but why, why does it seem that there is something in their hearts, surging and wanting to break through the ground?
Jiang didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly stuffed the things in his hand into the bottom layer of the makeup.
On the other side, Zhao Yanchen had already hidden the thoughts in his heart, he stood in Lan Zhili's study, and stood respectfully with his hands down: "My lord, since I was transferred to Changzhou, many old departments have also been transferred and assigned, and it happened that Shuzhong suffered a great disaster, and many people were transferred to Shuzhong, but recently, there is a rumor in Shuzhong." β
He looked at Lan Zhili a little nervously, Lan Zhili frowned slightly and said, "What rumors?" β
Zhao Yancheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "This is a big rebellion, and I ask the Prime Minister to forgive the minister for the great disrespect of the minister." β
Lan Zhili said: "You say, this is not in front of Your Majesty, you tell me, it is also for Your Majesty's good, how can I cure you of your sins?" β
Zhao Yancheng said with confidence: "It's because in recent days in Shuzhong, there has been a folk song among the people, saying that the fake dragon is really unreasonable, the sky will bring disasters, and the real dragon will fake the water, and solve it in water and fire." β
Just a few words of folk songs, but Lan Zhili couldn't help but change his face, he said: "Bold! β
Zhao Yancheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The minister is just telling the truth, this ballad has only intensified in recent days, and as soon as the minister got the news, he came to tell the adult." β
Lan Zhili snorted coldly and said, "Fake dragon has no way? Everyone says that His Majesty is the true dragon emperor, why is it called a fake dragon? Besides, what do you say about this real dragon out of the water? What a hopeless word! β
Zhao Yancheng said: "However, this is not groundless, think about it, who is the person who solved the water and fire in Shu?" β
Lan Zhili's eyes lit up, and he said suspiciously: "You mean King Xian-"
Zhao Yancheng nodded and said: "It's King Xian, you think, King Xian almost lost his life in Shu, His Majesty came back, just rewarded a side concubine, and there was no other action, maybe King Xian's heart was uneven, and he had a heart of disobedience." β
Lan Zhili returned to his position, and said with a surge of thoughts: "However, King Xian has no military power, and second, he has no connections in the court, so inciting public opinion at this time has not aroused His Majesty's jealousy more and more?" Dead? β
Zhao Yancheng was also puzzled, he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Then this matter, according to the adult's thoughts, do you want to tell Your Majesty?" β
Lan Zhili waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty has been very worried about the wild things recently, it's just that you told your people that you found the origin of this ballad and quietly solved it." β
Zhao Yancheng understood, nodded, and when he saw that he mentioned the wild thing, he saw the sadness on Da Lan Zhili's face, and knew that it was for Lan Bo.
He was busy: "The minister is just for this matter, the minister will go back to the house to send the letter now, and don't disturb the adults." β
Lan Zhili nodded and asked Zhao Yancheng to be sent out.
It was night, and at the back door of the Lan Mansion, a man in black walked out, riding fast all the way, galloping in the direction of the wilderness.
At this time, in the Lingxiu Palace, Tuoba Chen was sitting beside Tuoba Lin with a happy face, watching Tuoba Lin practice calligraphy, He Xi stood aside from afar, sorting out the books for Tuoba Lin.
Tuoba Lin practiced for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Tuoba Chen's smile, he rarely saw his father so happy, and couldn't help asking: "Father, but what is there to be happy about?" β
Tuoba Chen doted his forehead and said, "Naturally, there are happy events, but you are still young, and you don't understand what your father says." β
Tuoba Lin tilted his head in confusion, his eyes widened, and he stared at Tuoba Chen.
Tuoba Chen smiled, picked up the fragrant tea next to his hand, took a sip, and said to He Xi in the distance: "Lin'er has been by your side for a long time, and she looks a little like you." β
The smile on He Xi's lips flickered lightly: "Your Majesty, now that the urgency of the wilderness has not been solved, you are so happy in the palace of the concubines, if people see it, maybe you will say how the concubines charm the monarch." β
Tuoba Chen stretched out his hand and beckoned to He Xi, who walked closer.
Tuoba Chen took her hand and said, "Have you also heard about the wilderness?" β
He Xi nodded and said: "Naturally, I heard about it, I'm afraid it's not just the concubines, the eyes in this palace are staring at this matter, the front is victorious, I want to go to the palace of the queen and Concubine Hui to congratulate me, if this is defeated, naturally I have to be careful, don't touch the scales." β
Tuoba Chen said: "Congratulations? I'm afraid I won't congratulate you in the future, but then, if you congratulate, you will also congratulate meβor you will beβ"
He Xi was puzzled: "Congratulations to the concubine? β
Tuoba Chen smiled deeply and said: "Now that the queen, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Shu are all pregnant, aren't you worried that Lin'er will be alone?" β
He Xi's face turned red, he withdrew his hand violently, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Lin'er is still there, you-"
