Ya'er misses Man'er very much, and since she left, Ya'er has not found a like-minded playmate among her peers.

She often asked Jiang Changwan, when will Man'er come back?

Jiang Changwan didn't know how to answer, so she could only say that it would be a long, long time.

Song Zhi often wrote to her, and each letter was colorful.

The tender yellow of spring, the verdant of summer, the thick gold of autumn, and the twilight white of winter.

Sometimes you can hear the sound of the spring tinkling, the chirping of birds, and the laughter of children.

Jiang Changwan misses the days when she could see Song Zhi from time to time.

After Shen Baiyan left Beijing, Zhou Jue was also a lot lonely, and he could not be reused in the court, and he was very depressed.

Jiang Changwan didn't understand why, and asked Song Zhi vaguely in the letter.

In fact, Jiang Changwan's mother's family is based in Junan, and the Zhou family is only left with Zhou Du in Beijing, Zhou Du has always followed Shen Baiyan, even if he doesn't let Zhou Du go to the southwest together, he can always be used, right?

Hasn't Su Zheng been taken by Shen Baiyan's side all the time? Why was Zhou Du treated as an outcast?

Jiang Changwan was a little depressed, but whenever he asked about it, Zhou Jue always flickered, and said back and forth, "The prince has his own arrangements." ’

Originally, Jiang Changwan thought that it would be useful for Zhou Du to be left in Beijing, but if it was useful, how could Zhou Du be so discouraged?

Gradually, from the words and sentences repeatedly considered in Song Zhi's letter and Zhou Jie's flickering attitude, Jiang Changwan touched the truth of the incident.

Zhou Jue once betrayed Shen Baiyan.

Shen Baiyan didn't move half a finger to him, it was completely for Jiang Changwan's sake.

If it weren't for Jiang Changwan being Song Zhi's close friend since childhood, how could Shen Baiyan still let Zhou Zhi live painlessly and disaster-free?

Jiang Changwan no longer dared to spy on this matter in the letter, and she didn't know how to speak to Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue had nothing to do in Beijing, and cheekily handed over the letter to the west, but was also politely rejected by Song Ling.

Jiang Changwan couldn't bear to see him so predicament, so she wrote to Jiang Ao in Junan, asking him if there was a suitable place for his subordinates to show their strengths.

Jiang Ao's letter was long and contradictory.

Junan is close to the sea and has been plagued by pirates all year round.

Although the Jiang family guarded Junan, nothing major had ever happened, but if they hadn't guarded Junan conscientiously, there would not have been such a peaceful scene.

Therefore, Zhou Du went to Junan, there must be something to do, but it was very difficult to want a high position or how much power he held.

You have to earn it back step by step on your own.

Therefore, if a dignified man goes to his wife's mother's house to beg for a living, if there is something wrong in his heart, won't he complain about his wife?

Jiang Ao was worried that Jiang Changwan would work hard and not be able to get a good one.

The eldest brother is worried every word, and Jiang Changwan understands it all.

But it's not a way to be trapped in Beijing like this, and a few days ago, Zhou Du was asked to be dismissed because of drinking while on duty, and now, he has completely become an idler.

Although he is an idler, he is still an idler who can't escape.

When the winter snow melts and spring comes, Jiang Changwan plans to take Ya'er to Mo Shaolin's house for a few days.

This house is now in the hands of the tenth princess, but Jiang Changwan wants to live there, just say it.

Because they had to stay for a few days, they brought more things with them, and with the addition of servants, there were three carriages in total.

To Jiang Changwan's surprise, they were stopped when they went out of the city gate.

Ruomei explained clearly, all the good words were said, and even the silver was stuffed, but the soldiers guarding the city still did not let go.

"The soldiers defending the city are like deaf men! I can't understand what I said! Ruomei was so angry that her face turned red and she said indignantly.

"It seems to have changed people, the slave remembers that it was not these in the past, and the original ones were polite." Ruoquan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and said.

"It turned out that the city protector was in the hands of the prince, who would dare to be polite to us? Now it's different, it's just that today I can't get out. Let's go back. ”

Ever since the carriage was stopped, Jiang Changwan had already sensed that something was wrong.

She was a smart person, and she understood it when she thought about it.

The western realm is now pinching Song Ling's hands, and Shen Baiyan is entrenched in the southwest again, mingling with the Wu clan.

These two places have been out of the control of the imperial court, not to mention that Shen Baiyan is still gradually expanding his power.

The power of the Jiang family should not be underestimated, and in Junan and the surrounding areas, no one does not support the Jiang family's army.

In the Jiang family, there is only one Jiang Changwan and two concubines in Beijing now, and the others are in Junan.

With the lessons of the Song family, the imperial court naturally would not let Jiang Changwan leave again.

Jiang Changwan made a calm attitude, and when she returned home, she fell on the table and cried bitterly.

Ruomei also learned a little about Jiang Changwan's current situation from her intermittent crying.

She didn't have any unique opinions, and she didn't know any checks and balances, but she just had a flash of inspiration and said, "Madam, let's ask the princess." See what she can do? The princess has always been clever. ”

Jiang Changwan gradually stopped crying, and her eyelashes were covered with tears, making her unable to see clearly.

Ruomei wiped her tears, Jiang Changwan took a deep breath and said, "Bring a pen and paper." ”

Jiang Changwan wrote the letter to Song Zhi, turned around and went to the Lin Mansion.

This letter must be delivered to Song Zhi without fail, and it cannot be intercepted.

She knew that the Lin Mansion had always been in contact with Shen Baiyan, and they had a way.

The tenth princess listened to Jiang Changwan's intention, but she was a little hesitant.

The Lin Mansion did have an eagle given by Shen Baiyan for correspondence.

can lend it to outsiders, there is still some hesitation.

Although Jiang Changwan and Song Zhi are friends, they are outsiders in the end.

Jiang Changwan saw the hesitation of the tenth princess, and she didn't want to be embarrassed, and said to the tenth princess: "Princess, if you don't worry, you can read my letter." ”

The tenth princess thought about it, and then she was not polite, opened the letter and took a quick look.

After watching it, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Changwan with some surprise.

Jiang Changwan had already confessed, but she was indifferent, and said: "I am in such a situation now, I just want to ask Zhi'er, is there any way to pry me and our family out." ”

The tenth princess put the letter back, put it on the coffee table, pushed it to Jiang Changwan's side, and said, "Maybe there is a way, maybe not." ”

Jiang Changwan looked at the movements of the tenth princess, her heart was half cold, and said, "Princess, we can be regarded as acquaintances, you really refuse to help me?" ”

The tenth princess was a little troubled, and said to Jiang Changwan: "There is affection between Zhi'er and you. Well, I'll tell you to try it. It also takes some love to leave and right. ”

These words were a little ugly, Jiang Changwan blushed, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, and choked for a while before she said: "If there is anything that Zhi'er wants me to help with, I am duty-bound." ”

"Okay, that's what you said." The tenth princess smiled lightly.

There was a hint of cunning in her smile, which made Jiang Changwan feel like she had stepped into the trap of a hunter.

The tenth princess responded and asked Jiang Changwan to go back and wait for the letter.

After Jiang Changwan left, the tenth princess also wrote a letter, stuffed the letters of the two people in an envelope, and sent it to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi's reply was already seven days later, and it was still sent to the Lin Mansion.

Another letter had Jiang Changwan's name written on it, and the tenth princess asked Jiang Changwan to invite her, and when Jiang Changwan came, she saw that the letter was well placed on the table, and the wax seal was intact.

She didn't say anything, she couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.

The tenth princess had already made a plan, sat on the side and drank tea, watching the look on Jiang Changwan's face change from joy to doubt to anxiety, and finally turned into confusion.

The tenth princess didn't speak, but let Jiang Changwan think about it herself.

What is written in Song Zhi's letter, the tenth princess does not know. But she can guess all the time.

Shen Baiyan wanted to open a few more waterways, and the others were fine.

There is only one that has to pass through Junan.

Jinghaihou didn't seem to be able to look down on Shen Baiyan's move to set up his own door, and he also played a few letters to refute Shen Baiyan, which was painless.

In the final analysis, isn't this just a reassuring pill for Shen Ze to eat. Who can't see clearly?

However, it is unknown how Jing Haihou thought about it in his own heart.

There were originally contacts between Shen Baiyan and Jiang Ao, but Jiang Ao has been mostly in Junan in recent years, and Jinghai Hou does not like Jiang Ao and Shen Baiyan to have too close contacts.

He always felt that Shen Baiyan's style of acting was too strong, and no matter who worked with him, he would always be reduced to a supporting role.

Gradually, Jiang Ao and Shen Baiyan became more estranged.

Regarding the waterway, Shen Baiyan didn't want to speak to Jiang Ao rashly.

Now although Jinghai Hou Ming has delegated power to Jiang Ao on the surface, in fact, if Jinghai Hou does not nod his head, Jiang Ao will not be able to make decisions on his own.

It may be better for Jiang Changwan to make peace.

"Please ask the princess to borrow me a pen and paper, I want to repair a book for my father and brother, and ask the princess to send it for me."

The tenth princess only drank half a cup of tea, and then listened to Jiang Changwan say firmly.

The tenth princess couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "Think about it so quickly?" ”

"If my father is willing, that's the best, I think it's a win-win. If I didn't, I couldn't do it, but I tried. ”

Jiang Changwan has thought about it, the big deal is to be trapped in the capital for a lifetime, and it's nothing.

The tenth princess summoned someone to bring paper and pen, Jiang Changwan pondered for a moment, and the pen flew like a fly.

The letter was not sealed, so he handed it to Jinxiu.

After Jinxiu went out, only the two of them were left in the house, and the tenth princess suddenly heard Jiang Changwan say: "The princess seems to be a little enthusiastic about this matter. ”

The tenth princess smiled brightly, revealing white teeth, both cunning and frank, and said: "It is profitable, and it is naturally enthusiastic." ”

The relationship between the Lin Mansion and Shen Baiyan's family can be said to be as close as Song Zhi's mother's family.

After the tenth princess gave birth to her second son, Shen Baiyan's congratulatory gift was generous to enter Beijing, a full three cars.

The court sent someone down and proofread the gift slip one by one, for fear of mixing in with something else.

The things on the gift list are enough to congratulate the two princes.

Shen Baiyan is willing to give, can you blame others for giving more?

Shen Baiyan's move was not to show off. The first is to sincerely congratulate the Lin Mansion, and the second is to tell the world that the importance of the Lin Mansion to him also adds a guarantee to the safety of the Lin Mansion in Beijing.

Jiang Changwan couldn't help but feel a little envious, and couldn't help but think, if Zhou had never betrayed Shen Baiyan, and he had not been estranged from Song Zhi for those days, would his current situation be better?
