Chapter 039: I heard that I was going to discuss marriage
She swallowed the soup and asked again, "What happened to Jingshi?" ”
The news of Jingshi was all followed by Zi Xuan and Wu Ma, she knew that Xiuxiu had correspondence with them, but if she didn't ask, they usually wouldn't say it.
Zi Yi glanced at her face before she considered it: "Xiuxiu's letter last month said that it was Mrs. Gu who entered the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year, and was asked by the ladies about the marriage of several cousins and Hou Ye.
"It is said that after the New Year, some people will invite Mrs. Gu to tea, although it has not yet been said for the sake of the family, but it is not far away."
Say pro? Changying stared, and after thinking about it, she remembered again that Ling Yan's three-year filial piety period had passed, and Ling Yuan was twenty-one, so it was natural to be in a hurry to say goodbye.
But what she remembered the most was the little prince of the Marquis of Wuning, who was carrying a big burden under the door and glaring at her angrily, and the new generation of the Ling family who had become the one who could take charge and almost strangled her in anger.
Time slipped away so long, and when she thought about it, she seemed to have spent the years in vain.
What he did, how he grew up, what he achieved, and how he became so tall and mighty later, she could hardly remember.
I don't want to be at the age when I have to get married.
On the contrary, Ling Song and Ling Shu played a lot with her at that time, and the three of them had done a lot of troubled things together in Jingshi, and she could still count many anecdotes.
"What else?" She asked again. "Is Ling Song engaged to the girl of the Ji family?"
"It should be soon." Zi Yi looked at the shadow of her long eyelashes that fell under her eyelids, "If the matter of the Hou Ye is decided, it will naturally be the turn of the second master." Besides, the second master is also in high school this time, so he won't say anything if he wants to come to the Ji family. ”
Ling Song has liked the three girls of the Ji family since he was a child, and Changying helped him cover up at that time, but it is a pity that the old man of the Ji family had a little holiday with Ling Song's grandfather at the beginning, and he always refused to agree to this marriage.
But speaking of which, the Ji family is not an unreasonable family, the grandchildren have grown up so much, and Ling Song has a future, so it will not be too difficult to think about it.
Changying didn't say anything.
Ling Song did achieve a positive result with Ji Wanqing later, but unfortunately, in the end, the Ji family was also implicated because of him.
All in all, the glory of the Ling family now is unreliable in her eyes.
"What about Xiuxiu herself?"
Zi Yi was silent for a moment and said, "She didn't talk about herself. ”
Changying didn't ask any further. The Rong family's inner house is also very complicated, and staying there as Xiuxiu will not be much better.
"By the way, there's some news from the guardhouse." Zi Mian diverted the topic, "I heard from Mother Wu that Su Xinrong recently led people to destroy a group of thieves who were making trouble in the western suburbs of Huzhou, and her arrogance has been very high these days.
"I met Wu's mother who went to the street to buy vegetables a few times, and sneered at the girl, but Wu's mother was angry, saying that she had even cooked three meals without salt."
Changying laughed.
Zi Yan also relieved his heart.
What she said was naturally not so exaggerated, it was originally for her to be happy, and when she smiled, she was at ease.
"It's dawn, let's go prepare breakfast."
She drank her tea and said. "I'm still going to have something to do after eating."
Cheng Xiao wanted to coerce her with a handle, if this method was so good, then her three-year journey plus the cultivation of the next few years in her previous life would be in vain.
The experience of the two lives has long tempered her into a qualified "wolf-hearted dog-lung-white-eyed wolf", except for identifying the goal and moving forward, she can't think about anything else at the moment.
On the contrary, he was pondering, the prince colluded with the magistrate to embezzle a large amount of official silver, and he should not have left a handle, but why did he allow Cheng Xiao to keep it?
Either Du gradually lied and came to kill Cheng Xiao's group of black-clothed people, or he himself, not to get evidence for the emperor, but to kill the prince for the prince.
Or, it is the prince and Cheng Xiao that there is something else that has not yet surfaced.
But there was no need for Du gradually to lie, because she was no threat to him.
And if it is Cheng Xiao who took it upon himself to leave evidence of the crime in order to bargain with the prince in the future, it is impossible for him to have such courage as a small Congwupin.
Ten thousand steps back, even if he originally hid this guts, after experiencing the danger a few days ago, he would never dare to have this idea again.
But he is still trying to protect it, which means that this thing is likely to be needed by the prince.
So, what did the prince do with a ledger at the risk of being exposed?
When Shaoqing and the others followed up on the docks, she planned to start from here to check.
On the side of the main courtyard, Cheng Xiao was also in the study preparing to read the official documents.
It's not that he gets up early, it's that he can't sleep.
Fang Tong's death failed to force Shen Changying back, which made him feel a little depressed.
He believed that the news that he knew her origin would definitely reach her ears, and if she really had some kind of relationship with Du Yan, then Du Yan would definitely tell her.
If Du gradually has nothing to do with her, as his subordinate, he must also understand what he means, and then convey this matter to her.
But a day and night had passed, and she was still holding her ground, which made him a little uncertain.
Could it be that Du gradually hasn't done what he wants?
He took two sips of tea and put it down again, rubbing his knuckles on his forehead and said, "How is Mrs. Fang?" ”
"Still haven't let go." Jia Ding said.
"Where's the dock?"
"It's already in preparation, as long as there are no accidents, we can leave tonight."
"Accident?" He snorted, "When will there be no accidents?" ”
Ever since he had experienced the dangers of that night, he would fidget at the thought of the mission Luo Yuan had given him.
This matter is indeed too big, and it is good when it does not alarm outsiders, but once it is alarmed, he can easily become the target of public criticism.
The previous man in black and the ruthless Shen Changying are examples.
If Shen Changying delayed his innings and ignored him and didn't retreat, how could he be good?
Even if she is the enemy of the Ling family, the Ling family is far away in Yanjing, and she can't catch up for a while.
What's more, the most important thing for him at the moment is to send the batch of "goods" at hand to Jingshi as soon as possible, and when this batch of "goods" is sent away, only the account book is left, and it will be difficult for others to catch him again.
But Shen Changying was still in the mansion, how could he avoid her eyes and ears and go to the dock?
“…… I'm so! ”
Mrs. Cheng's voice came from the other side. Early in the morning, she just went to the grounded Cheng Mei room and came out.
He frowned and asked the family, "What's the matter?" ”
The family said: "The girl refuses to eat again in the morning. ”
His face was even more gloomy.
got up and walked to the porch, he took the pot and watered the orchids, and suddenly looked up: "Chuan girl to the study." ”
