Chapter 120: Step by Step (Basic + Pink 375)

Cold, fever, rhinitis, attack, headache, had to go to the hospital for infusion, and it was late. Ask for pink tickets, thank you. In the last two chapters, it should be Princess Fen, who was written as Princess Min in a daze, but fortunately I remembered it last night and changed it, I'm sorry. (It was originally posted at the back of the text, but I found that several children's shoes saw it and asked questions, and deliberately posted it in front.)

——*——*——*——

Princess Fen saw Meng Ruren's appearance and sneered slightly: "What, are you not convinced?" Think I said it wrong, I was wrong, and I shouldn't have taught you a lesson? ”

Most of the people present know the temper of Princess Fen, and Princess Fen is a controversial person. She was not from a noble background, as she said herself, she was a peasant girl, but she not only fascinated King Fen and tried every means to make her a concubine, but also after she made a big fuss a few times, there were two people in the prince's palace who were supposed to be five grades, and ten people were six and teng, and there was no one left.

In the early years, King Fen was not powerful, but she was not low-key, she was known for her temper, ruthlessness, nosyness, and love to stand out for others, and often offended people, which made King Fen very embarrassed. But the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, because of this, the husband and wife did not get involved in the battle for the throne, and now, King Fen has become the only imperial uncle of the saint today, and he is still very respected. Now that she is so old, and she has this unreasonable temper, even the emperor will let her have a few points. Then, it is really an ordinary thing for her to seize the reason and take the concubine of a grandchild's prince. What's more, she is right.

The situation is stronger than people, Meng Ruren's expression changed several times in an instant, he took a deep breath, accepted all his resentment, and said with a twist: "The princess has taught me a lesson, and I can get your teaching, which is the blessing of the concubine's three lives, and I can't ask for it." The concubine was really confused for a while, and there was a misunderstanding in the middle, so she did something confused, but fortunately it didn't make a big mistake. also asked the princess to give the concubine a chance to apologize to Sister He. "Say goodbye to Princess Fen and give a deep salute.

Princess Fen's reaction to Meng Ruren had long been expected, and she did not have the slightest surprise, sighed, slowly suppressed her anger, and said lightly: "That's it, I didn't want to be nosy and annoying." But this little friend, I really don't want her to suffer a little grievance, since it is a misunderstanding, you make amends, then that's it, you are not allowed to make the same mistake again in the future, otherwise I will not spare you. ”

These words fell into the ears of Meng Ruren, which was any idea of Princess Fen to warn her not to fight Peony again. People are so strange, if Princess Fen took care of her face and told her well, she might think that it was just a matter of affection, just perfunctory, but if Princess Fen was angry and made trouble in public, she would think that the weight of peony in Princess Fen's mind was really different, and she would have to think twice before doing anything.

Meng Ruren's mind turned a few times, and said with a smile: "If you don't dare in the future, Sister He will be the same as my own sister, whoever dares to be sorry for her, I will not spare her." Yan Yan stepped forward and took the peony's hand, and said affectionately: "Sister He, please forgive me for not being like me, don't be like me." ”

Peony secretly thought, by now, she has already formed a feud, seeing Meng Ruren like this, I am afraid that she hates her very much, but if she wants not to offend Meng Ruren, unless she obeys Meng Ruren to handle it arbitrarily, it will be sooner or later, since this is the case, it doesn't matter if he is sooner or later. also exchanged salutes with her, ostensibly exposing the matter.

Qiu Manniang and the others watched the play for a long time, only knowing that Meng Ruren provoked and bullied Peony, and the others never understood what was going on.

Where did Meng Ruren have the face to say it, he only smiled and didn't say anything. Naturally, Peony would not say it stupidly, saying that Meng Ruren wanted to get her to be a concubine for King Ning to please King Ning, so she just shirked it: "It's a small misunderstanding, don't mention it." ”

Madame Bai smiled slightly: "What are you doing with those?" Do what you have to do. "At one time, the sound of the pipa sounded, the beautiful girl came out to dance, and the princess led a few good poetry crowns to join in the fun, and all of a sudden, the fragrance of flowers and music, the wine and poetry came out, and the previous unpleasantness seemed to have never existed.

Meng Ruren's patience was excellent, and he endured it until the final break, and then he got up and said goodbye to everyone "reluctantly". Because Princess Fen didn't leave from beginning to end, Mrs. Bai took Peony to stay at the end, and when everyone was almost gone, Peony stepped forward to salute Princess Fen and thank her.

Princess Fen touched the fine cocoon in the palm of the peony's hand and said, "I heard that your mother's family is also rich in money, with a group of slaves, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, is your family willing to let you suffer this hardship?" If you don't want to be a concubine, then find someone to marry, okay? ”

Peony smiled: "Reluctantly." But I don't want to be idle, so they're up to me. That person, it's not that easy to find. ”

Princess Fen was noncommittal, let go of her hand, and said solemnly: "I heard that you wanted to go through the streets to shout grievances, and you wanted to die in front of King Ning's mansion?" Don't you know that this is likely to be a trivial matter for Ning Wangfu, and people still want to say that you are making a big fuss? Do you know how many such people and things are there in this world? ”

Peony was silent for a moment and said, "I know." She knows that in the eyes of some people, a little person like her is mud on the ground, insignificant, but a little person should also have his own dignity, and there is nothing to question about maintaining his dignity.

Princess Fen raised her eyebrows: "You know? Knowing that you could die in vain, do you still have to do it? ”

Peony didn't want to and felt that there was no need to say anything about dignity or anything like that with Princess Fen, so she only said softly: "Until the last resort, I naturally won't take that step." But what if it really gets to that point...... There is always someone who knows the truth. ”

Princess Fen smiled slightly: "You don't have to die, you're lucky." Meng Ruren will not dare to come to you for trouble in the future, and I think that after this time, this kind of thing should never happen again. "I said it in public before, it's just to save face for King Ning's mansion, but this matter must be known to King Ning.

"It's all thanks to the princess." Madame Bai stepped forward to salute Princess Fen and said with a smile: "Princess, can I bring her to hold a banquet there in the future?" ”

Princess Fen glanced at Peony: "Naturally." Even if you don't have a feast, you can bring her to play. ”

Mrs. Bai couldn't help but be overjoyed, seeing that Peony was still standing quietly aside, she was not particularly happy, and couldn't help but pull her in a hurry. Peony doesn't know what she's gotten yet. Being able to enter and leave the Fen Palace, which means that she will be the guest of Princess Fen, which brings her benefits are not ordinary. Not only do people like Meng Ruren dare not bully her at will, but even the peony flower business she is bent on will also get great convenience.

At this time, Peony did not show the shrewdness of a businessman, but thought blankly, what should she say when she sees Jiang Changyang again? was pulled by Madame Bai, and she came back to her senses and saluted Princess Fen: "Thank you, princess." ”

Princess Fen saw that she was a little stupid, but smiled: "That's it, I am also entrusted by others to be loyal." Go ahead. ”

Out of Fuyun Temple, Peony asked Shu'er to go back to report the news first: "You go back to report the news first, so that the family doesn't worry, see if Mrs. Li is still there, and say that you know her; If she has already gone home, let someone speak of it. I'll be back later. ”

Madame Bai smiled: "I see that you are like this, and you don't seem to plan to accompany me anywhere, otherwise, you want me to accompany you to Qujiangchi Furong Garden?" ”

Peony smiled: "If you have time." ”

Madame Bai sighed: "Send the Buddha to the west, and I will accompany you." ”

Peony looked at her and smiled, and walked to Qujiang Pond, along the way, Mrs. Bai talked to Peony about Princess Fen in detail, and couldn't help but sigh at the end: "There are people who can't get used to her, and they always like to laugh at her behind their backs, saying that everything she got from King Fen, but I don't think so." Isn't it enough to be so trusted by King Fen? Who can she rely on? Not on her own. What's more, there are so many people, only he and his wife have retreated, what does this mean? There are two people I envy and admire the most in my life, one is her, and the other is Jiang Dalang's mother, Mrs. Wang. ”

Peony couldn't help but glance at Madam Bai. These two people, one who has all the love and trust of her husband, and the other who has abandoned her husband who is in a high position with a decisive attitude, are both hearty people.

Madame Bai stroked her face and smiled lightly: "Only those who can't be hearty will envy those who are hearty." She looked at Peony brightly: "I hope you can also have a good time." ”

Peony said seriously: "I will." ”

After getting Jiang Changyang's house, Nian Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying what he meant, and after a while, Wu San hurried out, his face was full of joy, and he didn't know what to be happy about: "Rare guest, rare guest, please come inside." Childe will come over right away. ”

Seeing Peony's solemn expression, Madam Bai gently tugged at her sleeve and said with a low smile: "Don't be afraid." I'm not afraid of leaks, what are you afraid of? ”

Peony also smiled when she heard this, raised her eyes and looked at Wu Sandao, who was stealing glances at her from time to time: "Manager Wu, thank you very much." Things are all settled. ”

Wu San narrowed his eyes with a smile: "You're welcome, you're welcome, you should be." Then he lost his words, closed his mouth, and just laughed.

Peony used to see him funny, but he only thought he was funny, but at this time, seeing him like this, a strange feeling arose, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and lowered his head silently.

Wu San welcomed the two of them into the hall and ordered someone to serve tea, and just as he picked up the tea pot, Jiang Changyang came in and greeted Mrs. Bai and Peony with a calm expression. Probably had already guessed that the incident was leaked, so he didn't deliberately hide it, and said directly: "You just came from Fuyunguan?" How's it going? ”

Madame Bai preemptively smiled and said: "Princess Fen's majesty has not diminished Back then, Meng Ruren took back the beads and apologized and said humble, I think I will never come again in the future." I'm here to take the blame, she must come to thank the people who helped, I was soft-hearted, so I couldn't help but say. ”

Jiang Changyang lowered his eyes and smiled: "That's good." "I don't know if it's good to say that Princess Fen has solved the matter, or if Mrs. Bai tells Peony that he helped Peony.

Mrs. Bai sat down again, and asked a maidservant to lead the way in a low voice, saying that it was convenient to go, and let Peony and Jiang Changyang talk.

Peony got up and blessed Jiang Changyang: "I have been helped by you many times, I don't know how to repay it, I am very scared." ”

Jiang Changyang was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to take it to heart, and don't feel any burden, I just did what I thought I should do." Don't want you to reciprocate. ”

Seeing the hesitation on Peony's face, he smiled: "My mother was very unfortunate in her early years, our mother and son were in danger and embarrassment, and we had received help from many people. When I did, I did. For example, you, for example, Yuan Shijiu, are all friends, and you are people who I think are worth helping. ”

Compare her with Yuan Shijiu, that is to say, they are both his friends. Peony couldn't find anything to say for a while, and suddenly felt that his previous idea was a bit of a villain's heart, or that he was self-inflicted. After being silent for a long time, he said with a smile: "I heard a little about Lingtang, and I heard that she is very amazing. ”

Seeing her talk about this, Jiang Changyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became a little more natural, and he smiled proudly: "Of course, my mother is indeed amazing, she dares to lead me through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains alone, watching the sea and stepping on the sand." When I make money, I can spend a lot of money to eat delicious food, and when I don't have money, I can make delicious wild vegetables......"

Jiang Changyang's expression was extremely soft, as if he had fallen into a good memory, and his tongue couldn't help but lick his lips gently, as if the delicacy was still lingering in his mouth.

Peony saw his indulgent appearance and said curiously: "Is it really so delicious?" "When you make money? Could it be that Mrs. Wang also did business?

Jiang Changyang cupped his forehead and smiled lightly: "Fake." It's a bit of an exaggeration, maybe others won't think it's delicious, maybe they will think it's too fishy, but in my memory, when I was very hungry, the small wild fish and wild vegetables caught in the mountain stream were boiled in soup, and a little salt was added, which was indeed an extremely rare delicacy. ”

Peony couldn't help but say: "It sounds good, but the hardships must be beyond the imagination of ordinary people." ”

Jiang Changyang said: "Yes, I also cried and complained when I was a child. But when I look back on it when I grow up, it's very good, at least in my life, even if I have no money, or nothing to eat, just leave me in the mountains and forests, and I can't starve to death. ”

His expression was good, soft, and full of strong confidence, Peony felt that she was infected by his emotions, and she tentatively whispered, "Why are you leaving?" Well, of course, if you don't want to say it you can not say it, I'm just, just a little curious. Madame Bai said that one of the people she admired and admired the most in her life was Ling Tang. ”

Jiang Changyang raised his eyes to look at Peony and said calmly: "If you are interested, there is nothing you can't say." I think you also know that my mother used to be the Duchess of Zhu Guo. Later, the saint gave another wife to Zhu Guogong, and the two of them were concubines, both of whom were Mrs. Guoguo, Zhu Guogong accepted it, but my mother did not accept it, and proposed to leave. Zhu Guogong didn't allow it, the saint didn't allow it, even my uncle's family didn't allow it, everyone was against it, but she did it in the end. He paused, looked at Peony, his eyes were very soft, "This situation is a bit like you used to be." ”

Peony smiled slightly: "It's a bit like." But she's much better than me, and it's not easy. "People used to be husband and wife, but suddenly a strong third party stepped in, and when Mrs. Wang left, she was more sad than dead; As for her, when she leaves, there is only happiness and encouragement, which are two completely different feelings. But Mrs. Wang walked chicly, lived a chic life, and trained her son to become a talent, and what she cultivated was not an avenging angel, but a normal person, which is very good.

Jiang Changyang smiled: "It is indeed not easy. My mother, she ......" Wu San came in and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Mrs. Bai also walked in, and asked when she saw this: "Chengfeng, are you in trouble?" ”

Jiang Changyang said in embarrassment: "There are some things that must be dealt with immediately. ”

Peony hurriedly got up: "It's okay, you're busy, you're busy." ”

Jiang Changyang smiled: "I'll send you out." But he looked at the peony and said: "If it is convenient for you, I dare to ask you to help me pick up a variety of brocade, and I can celebrate my mother's birthday next year, and the price is negotiable." I don't know if it's convenient for you......"

Peony was stunned, and the chicken nodded as if pecking rice: "Convenient." As for the price, there is no need to mention it. ”

Jiang Changyang didn't talk much about the price, but said: "I don't know if I will pick it up from you, or will I take these peony flowers?" Is that the best thing to do? ”

Peony said: "The flowers and trees to be picked up must be dealt with in advance, and they must be carefully managed later, you are not suitable here." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will invite you to my Zhuangzi first, and I will pick a few varieties yourself. ”

Jiang Changyang smiled slightly, saw Peony and Mrs. Bai go out, turned around and was about to tell Wu San to do something, but when he saw Wu San looking at him with eyebrows, he couldn't help but be slightly annoyed: "What are you watching me do?" ”

Wu San said flatteringly: "The villain is happy for his son." Congratulations to the son for having a living brocade to dedicate to his wife, how difficult it is to get it. In fact, the little lady of the He family, after you help her, you still have to ask her for a thank you gift at any time, otherwise I won't ask you for help next time. When you choose flowers, you must choose more good ones, let her spend more time and time, otherwise it is not worth it. ”

"I hope she doesn't need my help with anything like this again. What is worth it or not, what nonsense? Jiang Changyang glared at Wu San fiercely, then couldn't help laughing again, turned around and went into the house to see another group of guests. On this day, he was in a good mood.

Peony said goodbye to Mrs. Bai and returned to Xuanpingfang, and before he arrived at home, he saw Zhang Wulang staggering over. She hurriedly got off the horse and saluted Zhang Wulang, Zhang Wulang returned the salute and said, "I went to the house this morning to inquire about the news, I heard that Danniang's sister went out with a friend to solve the matter, I don't know if the matter can be done properly?" ”

Peony smiled: "Fifth Brother Xie Zhang, it's going well, it should be fine." ”

Zhang Wulang laughed childishly, and a pair of leopard eyes narrowed into a slit: "Great, congratulations to Sister Danniang." ”

Peony said: "Since Fifth Brother Zhang is here, please go to the house to sit, my father is probably at home, and I can just accompany you for a drink." ”

Zhang Wulang just waved his hand: "Don't bother, I'm just here to ask, it's good to know, I still have a few fighting cocks to cook, everyone is waiting." He walked away without looking back.

Peony went home and reported the incident in detail to He Zhizhong, Mrs. Cen and others, and said that it was Jiang Changyang's help again, He Zhizhong and Mrs. Cen glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

After a whole night of careful consideration, He Zhizhong decided to personally go to thank Jiang Changyang, after all, it was really unreasonable for him, a parent, not to come to thank him for such a big matter. What's more, he will lead Da Lang to sea after the festival, and some things must be done in his heart. But the connection went twice and was empty, and the porter said that Jiang Changyang went out to run errands, and he was afraid that he would not come back until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He Zhizhong suspected that Jiang Changyang was deliberately avoiding him, so he went to ask Peony next to him. Peony is planning to transplant the purple peony to Fangyuan after the Mid-Autumn Festival, hearing He Zhizhong's words, he didn't care: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, one to take care of those flowers, and the other to help him pick up a flower by the way, when the time comes, I want to ask him to go over to choose the variety, if the father wants to thank him, you might as well go with your daughter, you haven't been to Fangyuan for a long time, and now it has begun to take shape, and when you and your brothers return from the sea, you will never see this scene again." ”

When He Zhizhong heard this, he smiled and said, "Are you sure he will go then?" ”

Peony said strangely: "What he said doesn't count, this flower is set to give him ** birthday, it's a matter of urgency, he naturally won't go." ”

He Zhizhong said: "Danniang, what do you think of this?" ”

Peony was silent for a long time and said, "He said that he regarded me as the same as Yuan Nineteen, and they were all his friends. He also said that what happened to me was a bit like him**. ”

He Zhizhong frowned and said, "You think so too? ”

Peony pursed her lips: "Otherwise, what should I think?" Now he hasn't done anything rude, he has confessed his feelings, and he can't go back. Anyway, I'll be careful. The timing was not right that day, and some things were not easy to say too directly, but anyway, I said that I couldn't repay them. ”

He Zhizhong laughed: "You stupid girl." ”

Peony looked at He Zhizhong with wide eyes: "I'm not stupid. I just couldn't find a better way. "Jiang Changyang seems to be normal now, if she is always entangled, on the contrary, she is more abnormal, and it is better to pretend to be stupid.

He Zhizhong sighed: "What if...... What's your idea? ”

Peony lowered his head and said seriously: "There is no if for the time being." Daddy, don't worry, your daughter knows what to do. "Jiang Changyang is very good, no matter how free and easy his mother is, he can't get rid of his identity as the eldest son of Zhu Guogong, and the gap between them is still relatively large. If he is not what she needs, if he can't do what she wants, he is a floating cloud. She knew exactly what to do before she was sure.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. In the eyes of the world, the significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival is very significant, only this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is cloudy, there is no moon to appreciate, and there is no moon to worship, the He family had to sit in the hall and eat a meal of longan, lotus seeds, lotus root powder carefully prepared to play with the moon soup. Then he sat in the hall and spoke, and then dispersed.

Early the next morning, when He Zhizhong was about to go out, he heard that a son surnamed Jiang had come to visit.
