Lin Jinwen walked out of the gate of the Lin Mansion, and Mrs. Hou personally sent someone to drive a carriage to pick her up.

The mother-in-law who came to pick up the person was very respectful, and when she got out of the carriage and saw Lin Jinwen for the first time, her eyes showed amazement. The crimson long skirt with the waist pinched, with a string of beads and jade hanging around the waist, and the hem of the clothes moved slightly but did not smell the jingle of the jewels, which shows that walking elegance is the style of everyone's beautiful girls. The crimson wide-sleeved long skirt sets off her complexion like jade. Qiong's nose and cherry lips, her eyebrows are far away, and her starry eyes are even more black and clear, black hangs down on her side, and when the wind blows, the noble ones on her body are so noble that people dare not look directly.

She saw Licai respectfully on the side: "Miss Seven, please." ”

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly: "I'm tired of my mother." After whispering, he helped Mo Feng's hand to get into the carriage.

The mother-in-law listened to her soft voice but not frivolous, and liked it more and more, and when driving the carriage, she also specially instructed the carriage and horses to slow down the carriage, and the provincial Lin Jinwen suffered from the bumps.

The carriage went all the way forward, and it took half an hour before it finally stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Before she got out of the carriage, she smelled the rich fragrance of flowers outside, she lifted the curtain and looked, good guy, there were large pots of various flowers at the door of the Hou Mansion, and there were undried water droplets on the flowers, which could be seen that they had only been taken care of.

Mo Feng lifted the curtain to help her down, and said: "I'm afraid that these flowers are transported from the south, and things like flowers are extremely damaged, and I can leave so many pots, I'm afraid that they will be damaged even more." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at the smiling mother-in-law waiting not far in front of her, bowed her head slightly, and didn't say anything more when she got out of the carriage.

The mother-in-law stepped forward, but she opened her mouth: "These flowers were sent by Mrs. Hou's mother's brother, Mrs. Hou is now pregnant with Liujia, her brother-in-law said, as long as Mrs. Hou likes it, more can be sent." ”

Lin Jin's eyes moved slightly, this Mrs. Hou's brother-in-law is very angry, today's saint has been investigating corruption for so many years, he actually has so much money to transport these flowers that can only live for a month, it can be seen that the wealth is rich, if he is targeted by someone with a heart......

She glanced at the carriages coming and going at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and only thought about talking to Mrs. Hou in private, so she smiled and echoed: "Mrs. Hou is so blessed." ”

The mother-in-law smiled and hurriedly led her inside.

At that time, Mrs. Hou was sitting on the edge of the warm couch and talking to a few ladies, most of the people inside were familiar, and Mrs. Hou used to be good friends with them when she went to the banquet in the palace of Concubine De.

"Are you Miss Lin Qi?" One of the kind women in a dark purple dress suddenly asked.

Lin Jinwen saw that she was familiar and thought about it, it turned out to be Luo Shangshu's wife and Wang Ruyan's aunt.

Lin Jinwen smiled lightly, and Mrs. Hou was also happy when she saw it, and only said: "Mrs. Luo originally knew Jinwen?" She shouted intimately, and Mrs. Luo looked at her closer: "My mother was sick a while ago, and Miss Lin looked at her, and she was able to walk on the ground after taking medicine at this time." Mrs. Luo smiled.

The ladies next to them all looked at Lin Jinwen when they heard it, but Lin Jinwen was still young in their eyes.

One of the luxurious green-clothed ladies glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that Old Lady Luo has taken other medicines before, otherwise Miss Lin is only a teenager, where would she have such superb medical skills?" I have seen a lot of people who sell their fame and reputation, and hire people to do things under their hands, but he takes all the face and fame on himself, which really makes people think that he is a certain person, so he is good at swaggering and cheating. ”

This is not polite, Mrs. Hou's face was a little embarrassed, but according to her quick temper, she didn't get angry, only smiled, and introduced to Lin Jinwen: "Jinwen, hurry up and salute, this is Princess Duanhui, who has been working with the horse before, and has only recently returned to Beijing." Your aunt's family is still related to the Horse Mansion. ”

After Mrs. Hou finished introducing, Princess Duanhui leaned back on the stool slightly, as if she didn't want to take care of Lin Jinwen.

Lin Jinwen remembered her, Princess Duanhui, the sister of the emperor's mother, the concubine received a false position, although she was ambitious, but she had been pressed by the false name of the concubine, and she was depressed all her life, and finally fell in love with Duanhui and died.

Lin Jinwen looked at her extremely well-maintained face although she was nearly forty years old, the exquisite and proper makeup was added to her, and the dignity of the high above was unobstructed, and the phoenix eyes like Zhao Huaiyan were slightly lifted up, and she could see the domineering words written in her bones.

Lin Jinwen didn't care much about her, she just saluted.

Mrs. Luo was also worried that Princess Duanhui would continue to make things difficult for her, so she only smiled and said, "Ru Yan is also here today, outside, you go to talk to her." ”

Mrs. Hou also nodded: "The poetry and painting will start in a while, so you might as well go and make some sisters." ”

"Yes." Lin Jinwen obediently complied, and then walked out.

The mother-in-law led her all the way to the garden where the banquet was held before leaving.

Lin Jinwen didn't want to go to a crowded place, so she walked forward along the verandah, but unfortunately saw Wang Ruyan, who was standing alone on the lakeside covered bridge and feeding koi carp with a worried face, her steps paused, Zeng Xuehai has now lost half of her life, even if the emperor has a heart, he will definitely not marry her again, is she worried about her marriage with her brother now?

Thinking like this, her whole body was much more relaxed, and her pace was faster.

When I got to the corner, before I called Wang Ruyan, I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy in brocade clothes and jade crowns suddenly appeared behind Wang Ruyan, and before Wang Ruyan could react, he pushed her back fiercely, and Wang Ruyan fell into the lake without warning.

There was no one here, and the lake water in February was still cold, Lin Jinwen gritted her teeth slightly: "Mofeng, hurry up and save people!" ”

"Yes." Mo Feng responded and went to the lake, Lin Jinwen ran to the bridge with her skirt a few steps, and grabbed the boy who was also confused: "What are you doing!" ”

The blankness on the boy's face disappeared in a blink of an eye, and his little face stared at her with disgust: "What are you doing, let go of me!" ”

"Who are you? Why are you pushing her down! Lin Jinwen gritted her teeth, this kid is also seven or eight years old, and he doesn't understand what kind of fate it will be like to push people into the water, and looking at his actions, it is clearly intentional.

"You let go of me!" Seeing that he couldn't move, he bit down Lin Jin's arm, and his immature teeth were very strong, until someone rushed to the other end of the covered bridge.

The moment he ran, he didn't ask for the reason, he pushed Lin Jinwen away, and then protected the boy to comfort him.

When the boy saw his own person coming, he immediately burst into tears, pointed at Lin Jinwen and said, "She slandered me, and she wants to beat me, woo woo woo ......"

When the maid heard this, her face immediately turned bad, and she only stared at Lin Jinwen coldly, no matter which young lady she was, she only said coldly: "How many lives do you have that dare to bully my son-in-law?" ”

Mo Feng had already rescued the person at this time, Lin Jinwen glanced at the boy, and saw that he didn't have a single tear but was still crying and crying, so she only frowned coldly and turned her head to look at Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan choked on the water, and her face was blue from the cold, Lin Jinwen hurriedly took her cloak to wrap her, and comforted: "Don't be afraid. ”

"Hmm." Wang Ruyan's eyes were red, and she didn't know why anyone would want to kill her.

"Mo Feng, hurry up and inform Mrs. Luo and send her to the wing room to change her clothes first." Lin Jinwen said busily.

Mo Feng responded and hurriedly hugged the person.

Lin Jinwen also had to follow, the boy saw that Lin Jinwen didn't care about himself at all, gritted his teeth slightly, broke free from the maid's arm and jumped up and grabbed her sleeve: "You can't go, you wronged me, I'm going to hit your board!" ”

"Wronged?" Lin Jinwen coldly shook his hand away, she was just a spoiled child, did she really think she was the prince: "I saw you push Miss Wang into the lake with my own eyes, where did you wrong?" ”

Before the boy could speak, the maid stepped forward and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my son-in-law is the most well-behaved, how can he do such a thing." Which lady are you, do you know who my son-in-law is? ”

Lin Jinwen knew who he was when she saw the jade pendant on the boy's body: "I am Miss Lin Mansion, you can go and talk to Princess Duanhui about the matter, I believe the princess will have her own judgment." Lin Jinwen said the most to the child, and the maid's face was even darker when she heard it, and she only snorted softly: "I heard that General Lin has been demoted to a commoner, and Mrs. Hou actually invited you to come, it's really strange." ”

After she was disdainful, she looked at the boy: "Childe, let's go find the princess." ”

When the boy heard this, he only broke free of the maid's hand and pulled Lin Jinwen: "You are not allowed to go, I haven't beaten your board yet." ”

Lin Jinwen frowned, and the maid hurriedly pulled the boy and said, "Childe, we told the princess that the princess would punish her." ”

"I'm going to punish you too." The boy glared at her angrily: "Where were you when she bullied me just now?" Why didn't you come earlier? ”

"Slave maid ......" The boy snorted lightly, and only looked up at Lin Jinwen: "You scared me just now, I'm going to hit your board." ”

Lin Jinwen listened to this obvious angry remark, and lightly brushed his hand: "I have other things, it is the young lady of the Imperial History Mansion who you pushed into the water today, you should go and talk to the princess." With that, he turned his head and walked away.

The boy wanted to chase after him, but the maid grabbed his arm fiercely: "Childe, don't make trouble." ”

The boy was so hurt by her scratch that he couldn't do it, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Hou soon found out about Wang Ruyan being pushed into the water, and personally arranged for her to change her clothes in the wing room, only to look apologetically at Wang Ruyan, who was sitting on the side drinking ginger tea after changing her clothes, and said, "I never thought that such a thing would happen." ”

When Wang Ruyan heard this, she only smiled apologetically: "It was my own carelessness that caused Jin Wu to offend the princess's only sister-in-law, I don't know if the princess will be blamed?" ”

Mrs. Hou knew that she was interceding for Lin Jinwen, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Luo is also here, Princess Duanhui won't do too much, after all, it was her son who pushed you into the water." After speaking, after thinking about it, he still whispered to the two: "Her sister-in-law is a son with the old horse, the princess's mansion is such a child, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temperament is also domineering. ”

"Hmm." Wang Ruyan nodded hurriedly.

Lin Jinwen only said nothing on the side, this Duanhui princess was from Zhao Kan's faction back then, and she was also very close to Concubine De, but although the princess and her wife were arrogant, their nature was not bad, although they also participated in it back then, they did not harm Zhongliang. It's just that Mrs. Fang Cai Hou said that the Ma family still has some relationship with the eldest lady's mother's family, and it seems that it is good for her to dispose of the eldest lady earlier.

Mrs. Hou's stomach was not obvious, but she was already cautious, so she stood for a while and then carefully supported them, and smiled at them: "You guys go ahead to play first, I will talk to the princess about the little boy, don't worry." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Hou." Wang Ruyan smiled at her, and then she held her mother-in-law's hand and left cautiously.

After Mrs. Hou left, Lin Jinwen turned to look at Wang Ruyan thoughtfully, and said, "What were you thinking about when you were on the bridge?" ”

As soon as Wang Ruyan thought of this, her face turned a little red, and she lowered her eyes and twisted slightly: "I ......"

"Thinking about my brother?" The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were hooked.

Wang Ruyan's face turned even redder, and Lin Jinwen knew it, so she didn't ask any more, but smiled lightly: "Since you're here, let's go sit outside." ”

Wang Ruyan is not as free as Lin Jinwen, and it is rare to have a chance to come out to breathe, so she naturally won't let it go, so she nodded with a smile and went out with her.

The so-called poetry and painting meeting is the time when the ladies and sons show their style, especially after the beginning of spring, each family loves to hold a variety of flower banquet poetry meetings, one is convenient to make friends, and it is also convenient for their sons and daughters of the right age to see each other, and the other is to show the strength of the host's family, the banquet is good, and the good reputation is to be passed on in the capital for a year.

After Lin Jinwen entered the garden, she and Wang Ruyan found a place near the lake by the promenade and sat down, watching the ladies in the courtyard reciting the poems they had made.

However, before the excitement was finished, I heard the sound of talking nearby.

"I heard that Lin Jinwen is also here today."

"Really? You should be careful, don't talk to her, be careful that you also get willow disease. Another young lady spoke, and a low laugh erupted from the crowd.

Wang Ruyan's face was slightly pale, and she hurriedly looked at Lin Jinwen: "Don't mind, they are so open-mouthed." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her gentle and firm eyes, and naturally she didn't care about them.

But she didn't care, but those people had to come to the door.

The young lady who was full of disdain before saw this and let out an exaggerated 'huh' sound: "Isn't that Miss Lin?" ”

"See if she has an abscess on her face?" Someone whispered.

The other ladies were busy feeling disgusted and covered their mouths and noses, making it difficult to see, but in fact, Lin Jinwen cleaned up cleanly, and her appearance was definitely above them.

Wang Ruyan couldn't listen to it, and said to those people: "You are everyone's best girl, how can you say such a thing." ”

The red-clothed lady at the head said disdainfully: "What did we say? Aren't you also a lady of everyone, still yelling like this, what kind of system have you become? After speaking, he looked at Lin Jinwen with a little poison, and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that if I don't get the flower willow disease, I will come out and infect other people, it's really vicious." ”

Lin Jinwen followed her voice, the clothes are also high-quality, and the facial features of her palm-sized little face are also good-looking, it is this look of disdain and dissatisfaction, which makes her little face become mean and sour, if I remember correctly, this young lady is also surnamed Zheng, and her maiden name is Zheng Jiaojiao, and Zheng Ruyi's family is a distant relative, but her relationship with Zheng Ruyi is very ordinary, and she should not be angry for Zheng Ruyi today, so why? Today, she is obedient and not in the limelight, and there is no chance for people to attack her.

Lin Jinwen couldn't figure it out, and adhered to the principle of trying not to add enemies to herself, so she only smiled at her: "Where did Miss Zheng see that I was infected with flower willow disease?" ”

"Your grandmother had an affair with ......"

"Aunt Zhou has been ordered by the queen to be a concubine early this morning, how can Miss Zheng not know that she is so concerned about my affairs?" Lin Jinwen smiled faintly, very different from her bitter appearance.

Zheng Jiaojiao saw it, her little face turned green with anger, if someone next to her hadn't stopped her, she was afraid that she would be so angry that she would stand up and argue with her.

Lin Jinwen glanced at the remaining young ladies, they were all rabble, and they dared to mock behind their backs, but they didn't dare to speak out on the surface.

Lin Jinwen paused, but reminded Zheng Jiaojiao: "Miss Zheng, don't be too angry, you are seriously ill, you have to recuperate." ”

"Nonsense, my body is very good, daily ginseng and bird's nest nourishment, not like you, now I'm afraid that I can't afford to eat cheap bird's nest, right, the poor family should be like a poor person, what kind of banquet do you come to attend? I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. And do you think that if you know a few words and just fool a few people, you really think that you are a miracle doctor? Zheng Jiaojiao thought of Zheng Ruyi at this time: "Your Lin family is a bad star, your eldest brother hurt Zheng Ruyi a few days ago, so that she can't get out of the house now, and now you want to curse me." ”

"The reason why Miss Zheng Ruyi can't go out of the mansion is that the Lin family sees that she is still a woman in the boudoir, and it has not been spread out, so why should Miss Zheng use this as an excuse to belittle my brother." Lin Jinjiao has always taken care of her father, so she has never asked anyone to spread any rumors, but this Miss Zheng Jiaojiao is not afraid of making things bigger.

She looked at Zheng Jiaojiao, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a trace of evil spirit, since she was not good at spreading the word, she just borrowed the mouth of this Miss Zheng Jiaojiao.

As soon as Lin Jin's words came out, those young ladies glanced at each other meaningfully, pulled Zheng Jiaojiao and whispered: "Jiaojiao, what's going on." ”

"It's like, what's the matter, you didn't tell us?"

Several people pulled her and kept asking.

Zheng Jiaojiao frowned, how did she know, she only vaguely heard her parents mention something, and looked at Lin Jinwen with slight annoyance: "Isn't it that your eldest brother couldn't get married, and he blamed Zheng Ruyi for drugging her?" ”

Wang Ruyan couldn't listen to it, and immediately blushed and said: "Miss Zheng, what do you say, Miss Zheng was going to marry Lin Gongzi in front of the Xu Mansion that day, but we all saw it with our own eyes, and then Lin Gongzi sent her back to the house, if it wasn't for Jin Gong and someone to get in, Lin Gongzi was almost drugged and ......" Wang Ruyan's face was red, and she continued after a while: "Later, Jin Yu took Master Lin and Master Xu to Zheng Mansion at night to propose marriage, and Miss Zheng was not in the boudoir in the middle of the night, so Lin Mansion did not propose to marry again. How can it be said that Lin Gongzi harmed Miss Zheng Ruyi? ”

After Wang Ruyan finished speaking, everyone else covered their lips and glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little more mocking when they looked at Zheng Jiaojiao.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiaojiao's little face was slightly blue, she didn't know that Zheng Ruyi was like this. But he only glanced at Wang Ruyan and sneered: "You know so well, are you interested in that Lin Gongzi?" ”

"Could it be that Miss Zheng is making such a difficult situation for me here, can I say that Miss Zheng is trying to capture me?" Lin Jinwen saw that Wang Ruyan's face was flushed, and tears were about to fall, so she stepped forward directly to take her words and said lightly.

"You ——!" Zheng Jiaojiao was speechless, blushed and looked at Lin Jin's wife for a long time, then simply stood up and stomped her foot hard and turned her head away.

The young ladies in the back saw that they were not lively, so they naturally followed along, and the red tide on Wang Ruyan's face faded a little.

Lin Jinwen doesn't care about this Zheng Jiaojiao, what she cares about is today's front yard, and now at this time, he should be there.

Does Zhao Kan think that hiding outside the capital will make everything worry......

Wang Ruyan hadn't come back to her senses yet, and when she saw the corners of Lin Jin's mouth indifferently hooked, she blinked, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, the talented people had already flattered each other, and no one noticed the person who suddenly appeared at the door.

When Yuan En came, his face was very pale, he knew that today must be his death, but for the sake of his family, he could only die.

The little guy in the Hou Mansion didn't expect him to come, and after seeing him in despair, he immediately quietly sent someone to report to Dingnanhou.

Dingnanhou was talking to several adults in the capital at this time, and when he heard the report from the little girl, he felt strange: "Why did he come?" ”

The little guy shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, but now you want to ask him out?" ”

When Dingnanhou heard this, he only shook his head slightly: "That's it, he probably wants to struggle, let him be." ”

Everyone laughed knowingly, offending Zhao Kan's people, especially him who was also targeted by Zhao Huaiyan, how could Zhao Kan stay alive, once he left Beijing to take office, he would definitely 'die' on the way to office.

Dingnanhou glanced at the sons who were reciting poems in the courtyard, and saw one of the scholars in simple green clothes, and asked the attendants on the side: "What is his name?" ”

The little guy glanced at it and said with a smile: "Back to the Hou Ye, his name is Jiang Qingshu, he is an ordinary person, but he is very knowledgeable, and he is also famous in the talent circle of the current capital." ”

When Dingnan Hou heard this, he nodded: "Ben Hou sees that he is still a smart person, and he is not inferior to himself when he is cold, but he has a little bit of clear bones when he stands in front of everyone, but what Ben Hou needs most is his clear bones." ”

The little guy was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "The slave understands." After that, he immediately went out of the room and greeted the attendants on the left and right: "Did you hear the orders of the Marquis Master Fang clearly?" After speaking, he made a gesture of cutting his neck.

The attendants understood, nodded, and secretly began to stare at Jiang Qingshu.

Jiang Qingshu didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and when he saw Yuan En coming from a distance, he stopped what he was talking to and looked at Yuan En.

Yuan En can also be regarded as a representative of the poor family, from a humble background, but he rose all the way to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but unfortunately he was careless and degraded to the sixth grade.

Just thinking about it, Yuan En actually knelt on the ground with a pop, which surprised everyone.

Yuan En swept around the people, today's top talents in the capital are all there, as long as he tells the matter, the streets and alleys will soon spread, if there is a tendon, I am afraid that in the spring exam in March, there will also be people who will use this as a topic.

When the Marquis of Dingnan saw him kneeling down with a dead face, he sensed that something was wrong, and immediately called: "Someone is coming, ......"

"Master Hou, ladies and gentlemen." Yuan En didn't wait for him to speak, he had already spoken first.

Dingnanhou rarely turned pale, and only secretly ordered the guards to find an opportunity to drag him out.

Yuan En is not afraid of it now, so he held his breath and complained directly: "Master Hou, I know that my time is running out, but please help me tell the emperor that His Royal Highness King Jing has colluded with local officials for so many years to embezzle two million dollars of disaster management silver, which has been used to cast firearms and armories......"

"Nonsense." When Ding Nanhou heard these words, he felt a chill down his spine after being on the battlefield for a long time, even if such a thing was true, but who dared to really say it, it would be a death to say it, and it would affect those of them who knew!

Yuan En's face turned slightly pale with fright, and his whole body was trembling, but thinking about the embroidery girl who was still embroidering the building, he gritted his teeth: "I didn't talk nonsense, I have followed King Jing for so many years, I know everything......"

"Crazy, you're crazy!" Dingnanhou walked out quickly, looked at the attendants on the left and right and said coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze, bring people down for me!" ”

Immediately, an attendant stepped forward and dragged Yuan En out, and the people on the side were dumbfounded.

Yuan En struggled and said, "Where are you going to take me?" I'm telling the truth, King Jing wants to take the throne......" Before he could finish speaking, an arrow had already flown from the shadows, piercing his heart directly.

Everyone suddenly panicked, Jiang Qingshu's face turned white, and his hands trembled slightly, he had never seen a murderer, especially this person was still alive in front of him a second ago, not to mention that this person was still an official of the imperial court, even if he was demoted, he was still an adult of the sixth grade......

He was covered, and Dingnanhou also darkened his face, and turned his head to look at Xiong Mao, who was sitting on the side and drinking tea slowly. Raising his hand, the guards stopped everyone outside, and then walked into the flower hall and asked him in a low voice, "What did you order?" ”

"Could it be that Hou Ye wants to watch King Jing being slandered by traitors?" Xiong Mao looks very similar to Xiong Shilin, his tall body is slightly fat, but he does not have Xiong Shilin's domineering, but has a bit of Xiong Shuli's ruthlessness.

"But the person died here, and the government will investigate it......" Before the Marquis of Dingnan finished speaking, he heard a shout outside, and it was King Ning who had already brought someone.

Xiong Mao's hand holding the teacup paused slightly: "Why is he here?" ”

Where did the Marquis of Dingnan know that Zhao Huaiyan was pulled by the emperor every day to familiarize himself with government affairs during this time, and he was very busy, how did he know that he suddenly came here.

He was so anxious to go back and forth, but he looked at Zhao Huaiyan who was coming outside, thought about it, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and invite Mrs., let Mrs. invite Miss Lin." ”

Xiong Mao frowned when he heard this: "What are you asking them to do?" ”

Before Dingnanhou could explain, Zhao Huaiyan had already brought people in directly, and the little guy who was just about to go out to invite someone was also stopped by Gao Yu.

Zhao Huaiyan's phoenix eyes were cold, and he coldly glanced at Xiong Mao, who was sitting on the side, and said coldly: "Lord Xiong, do you want to go with this king?" ”

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by that?" Xiong Mao was already dissatisfied with Zhao Huaiyan, but now he actually accused himself as soon as he came up, and immediately snorted: "Even if the prince wants to deal with me Xiong Mao, he must think of a reason, otherwise he has to ask the King of the Southwest and Concubine De if they agree!" ”

Gao Yu immediately clapped his hands, and the guards of King Ning's Mansion brought a small servant in from outside, followed by a bow and arrow.

Xiong Mao saw that people were discovered, and then looked at Gao Yu with a little pity, and suddenly woke up: "This is all designed by you?" ”

"Design what? Do you want to murder the six officials of the imperial court? Zhao Huaiyan said, glanced at the silent Dingnan Hou on the side, and said: "Come on, escort Xiong Mao to Dali Temple, and this king will personally return this matter to his father." With that, he turned his head and walked away.

came and went, but in a quarter of an hour, Xiong Mao's life and death were decided.

Before he could react, he only saw that Zhao Huaiyan had left.

Gao Yu immediately asked the guards to hold him: "Lord Xiong, human and material evidence is afraid, you dare to do it in the Dingnan Hou Mansion, you must not be instructed by anyone, right?" ”

When Xiong Mao heard this, he was angry with him and said, "You don't want to slander King Jing, this is all done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

Dingnanhou saw that he admitted it at once, and he didn't know how to push it on the little guy, so he couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder at the same time the Xiong family came out, Xiong Shuli could be the prime minister, but he has always been unknown, and no matter how he is promoted, he is a waste.

Gao Yu silently glanced at Dingnanhou, who shook his head, and then let Xiong Mao go.

Dingnan Hou looked, the interest in holding a poetry and painting meeting was gone, the six-grade official was assassinated under his nose, and he didn't know what to say outside, and the most important thing was that King Jing was only afraid that he would really suffer a little because of this, so he was busy preparing official uniforms.

"What is the master going to do in his official uniform?" The little guy was puzzled, and the Marquis of Dingnan sighed heavily, and then said: "Of course I entered the palace, this time Yuan En died here, and he said so many secrets, it really hurt me." He hated it so much that Yuan En's people were dead.

He was just about to go to the inner room, paused, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Go and see if Yuan En's family is still there, if it is, it all looks." "There is Yuan En's family to vent his anger on King Jing, and he may not be angry with himself when the time comes.

As soon as he thought of this, he clenched his fists in anger and cursed for sin, and then left.

Jiang Qingshu has been watching outside, from the time Zhao Huaiyan came in to the time he went out, he didn't dare to look directly, the dignity and coldness of King Ning were innate, as if he was born to look down on the world. Such a person, he is afraid that he will not be able to match it even if he exhausts his life. Seeing that Xiong Mao, who was still high up just now, was also escorted away, he only felt that in this officialdom, human life was really worthless, and the senior official of Liupin, the cousin of Concubine De, said that he could be killed.

The son on one side looked at him and poked him, before saying, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." He came back to his senses.

The boy smiled: "Brother Qingshu, don't worry, with your talents, you will definitely be on the list." ”

Jiang Qingshu smiled lightly, all that flickered in his mind was the embroidered shoes that appeared in front of him that day, if she was on the list, would she be able to see her again?

He didn't know that the person he was thinking about at this time was just across the wall from him.

Lin Jinwen heard the news of Mo Feng's back and forth, and frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Ruyan hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." She smiled and perfunctory, but she wondered in her heart, how Zhao Huaiyan seemed to deliberately avoid herself.

"Then Lord Yuan is also retribution, in order to help King Jing, he beat Lin Gongzi and Master Lin so badly." Wang Ruyan couldn't help but sigh with such a temperament.

Lin Jin's wife, Yuan En will do what she says, and she will do what she says, so that his family can leave safely.

Just thinking about it, someone suddenly ran over and pulled Lin Jinwen outside.

When Mo Feng saw it, he immediately opened her hand, only to find that Lin Jinwen's wrists were all red by her, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "What are you doing?" ”

The maid glared at Mo Feng a little angrily, and then looked at Lin Jinwen: "My young lady is as you said, she is sick now, you should hurry up and take a look." ”

"If you're sick, ask a doctor." Lin Jinwen lowered her hand lightly and said indifferently. She knows who is sick, it must be Zheng Jiaojiao, as soon as Zheng Ruyi talks about it, her narrow heart will inevitably explode, coupled with the fanning of others, her stubborn illness will inevitably recur, and now there are many flowers in the house, and she is also pollen allergic......

After hearing this, the maid's face immediately turned blue, and she was arrogant and wanted to come up and pull her hand again, but she was grabbed by Mo Feng and thrown away directly: "My young lady is not your young lady's slave, if you want to see a doctor, you will go to the doctor." ”

Wang Ruyan obediently didn't speak.

Seeing that she was not Mo Feng's opponent at all, the maid had to say with a cold face: "If you don't save you when you die, you will definitely regret it." With that, he turned around and ran.

When she left, the young ladies who had been with Zheng Jiaojiao before came from the corner and saw Lin Jinjiao with a smile on her face.

"Miss Lin, don't worry about the previous things, it's all coquettish and forced us." One of them was Huang Yidao.

Lin Jinwen looked at her sparkling eyes when she stared at her, and smiled: "It's okay." ”

"That's good." She walked over affectionately and grabbed Lin Jinyi's arm and asked, "What else do you know about Zheng Ruyi?" ”

"Tell us about it. I heard that she also went to the street to give porridge before, and everyone in the capital thought she was a good person. ”

"It's just ......"

The jealousy on the faces of several young ladies was almost impossible to hide, and they didn't remember how they mocked Lin Jinwen before for fear of contracting flower willow disease.

Lin Jinwen was also happy to tell them, and repeated all the things about Zheng Ruyi word for word, before she said in a low voice: "If this matter spreads, Old Madam Zheng and Zheng Jiangjun will definitely not let Miss Zheng go, you must not tell outsiders." ”

Several people glanced at each other, only thinking that Lin Jinwen was stupid, and covered their lips and smiled.

Their ridicule turned into a close laugh in the eyes of the visitor, Zheng Jiaojiao was itchy all over her body because of allergies, and now she saw that the sisters who were usually playing with her were talking and laughing with Lin Jinwen, and immediately rushed over with her skirt and scolded: "You white-eyed wolves, I'm not dead yet, you are in a hurry to climb her high branches!" Who she is, you don't know? Her father is not even as good as your father's five-grade official position! Zheng Jiaojiao pointed to the most enthusiastic lady in yellow.

When Miss Huang Yi heard this, she only felt humiliated, and immediately turned red but reluctantly flattered her with anger and smiled: "Jiaojiao, you misunderstood, we are helping you ask about your condition......"

"Smack——!

Before she could finish speaking, Zheng Jiaojiao slapped her in the face: "Eat things inside and outside, how can I not know what you ask?" You are all waiting to see my jokes, but what does Zheng Ruyi have to do with me? ”

Miss Huang was slapped in public, and she didn't please her anymore, she gritted her teeth and said contemptuously: "You still called her cousin before......"

"Smack——!

Zheng Jiaojiao was annoyed with another slap, and the lady in yellow stood up suddenly, and looked at Zheng Jiaojiao through gritted teeth: "Your father is only a first-grade military secretary now, although my father is a fifth-grade soldier, but he is a Hanlin who serves in front of the emperor, don't deceive people too much!" And you'd better pray that your father will always be the secretary of the military department! With that, he turned around and ran.

Zheng Jiaojiao was about to catch up, so she heard Lin Jin's cool voice: "Miss Zheng doesn't take medicine again, I'm afraid this face will be scratched." ”

When Zheng Jiaojiao heard this, she felt more and more itchy on her face, and stared at her with slightly gritted teeth: "If you dare to offend me, you will pay the price." ”

"Wait." Lin Jinwen got up and saluted shallowly. She didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid when it came. has lived two lifetimes, and she doesn't care about these little girls' tricks at all.

"You ......" Zheng Jiaojiao saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, snorted, turned her head and ran away. only hated Zheng Ruyi, who made her lose face today, this person is so shameless, he shouldn't be surnamed Zheng!

The maid behind hurriedly chased after her: "Miss, your ...... is sick?"

"Don't mention it again!" Zheng Jiaojiao stopped and twisted the maid stiffly, as if there was still the ridicule of outsiders in her ears, and walked quickly without looking back. The posture is very strange when walking, in fact, it is very itchy all over the body, and I have to rub my body to relieve the itch.

The rest of the ladies smiled politely at Lin Jinjiao, looked at Zheng Jiaojiao's back, and hurriedly followed her steps with a smile

When everyone left, Wang Ruyan said, "Jin, why do you want to offend Miss Zheng." She is used to being domineering, and her mother is Princess Duanhui's handkerchief, so it is no good to offend her, not to mention that she has a relationship with the Zheng family. ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her worriedly and smiled lightly: "She will come to me in a few days." "There is still some itchy powder left for the eldest lady today, and now it is just right for her. And the more she has a relationship with Zheng Ruyi, the better, Zheng Jiaojiao knows at a glance that she is a good face, and she is not good at disguise, once Zheng Ruyi becomes a label attached to her, she will definitely want to tear her off more than herself.

Wang Ruyan knew that she had the most thoughts, and she only bent her eyes and smiled.

Later, Wang Huiyuan personally came to pick up Wang Ruyan away, and when she left, she still didn't look at Lin Jinyan's eyes.

Lin Jinwen wanted to talk to him, but he left without leaving a word except for a light snort.

Mo Feng looked at Lin Jinwen, who was standing against the pillar, and expressed the doubts in his heart: "Miss, will it be the fourth miss...... It's really not dead. ”

"Did you find her body in a mass grave?" Lin Jinwen also felt strange, wasn't Zhao Kan's sword enough to be fatal.

"There's a body, but it's long since I can't tell if it's her." Ink Wind Channel.

Lin Jinwen's eyebrows twisted slightly: "Let someone confirm it again." After that, seeing that the poetry and painting meeting was also going on about the same, I thought that I should go to check the pulse of the other ladies according to Mrs. Hou's original intention, so I didn't stay any longer.

When she arrived at Mrs. Hou's main courtyard, she happened to hear a lady tell Princess Duanhui about how Lin Jinwen spread rumors about Zheng Ruyi and how she bullied Zheng Jiaojiao, as if she had really seen it with her own eyes.

Seeing Lin Jin's woman coming, her spitting mouth closed silently, swallowed her saliva, shrunk her neck and retreated.

Mrs. Hou glared at the mother-in-law who was following behind Lin Jinwen, and the mother-in-law was also confused, she thought that Lin Jinwen was a distinguished guest, so she didn't wait for the communication to attract it directly, where did she think that there would be such a good show.

Mrs. Luo was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Jinwen, why don't you play in the front yard?" ”

Lin Jinwen glanced at the spitting lady, the wife of the six products and thousands of households, usually the most high and low, and there is a stupid son in the family who has always wanted to marry Zheng Ruyi. Lin Jinwen saw her spitting and painting a colorful description, and Bacheng also wanted to ruin Zheng Ruyi's reputation, so that he could marry his stupid son back, otherwise how could they be worthy?

She lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, and replied to Mrs. Luo's words: "There are many people, and I think that the place where the ladies are here can be cleaner." ”。

The spitting lady of Qianhu immediately turned into the color of pork liver.

Mrs. Luo wanted to laugh a little, and quietly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and Mrs. Hou also smiled lightly, but Duan Hui, who was at the top, frowned coldly, glanced at her before saying coldly: "It's not a formality." ”

Lin Jinwen didn't know why she didn't like herself like this, and it was the same in her previous life. After thinking about it, he only lowered his eyes and saluted, and then said: "The courtier is still young, and she should ask Her Royal Highness the princess to teach her if it is inappropriate." ”

"Zheng Ruyi, what do you say? You go around ruining her reputation, and you dare to say that you know the general system? Duan Hui didn't like it when she looked at Lin Jinwen, and she didn't like her mother like she didn't like it, and she didn't care if she was wrong or not.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she no longer lowered her eyebrows, but only raised her head faintly and said with a light smile: "What the courtiers said is not false, and they were forced to say that Her Royal Highness the princess does not believe it, but people can check it, and the courtiers have a clear conscience." ”

Duan Hui saw that she was not convinced at all, and she didn't like it even more, and reprimanded: "What a clear conscience, who gave you the courage to dare to quibble repeatedly in front of this palace!" ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Hou hurriedly said to Lin Jinwen: "Jin's wife, if you admit your mistake, the princess will not punish you." ”

Lin Jinwen also had no intention of getting along with her, so she had to comply with the salute, and her body was pushed from behind, and she threw herself straight towards Princess Duanhui's body. Duan Hui is still holding tea in her hand at this time, if Lin Jinwen pounces over, I am afraid that her face will be ruined, and Duan Hui will also find an opportunity to punish her.

Mo Feng was about to make a move, but someone tripped under his feet, and the outstretched hand failed to hold Lin Jinwen.

Seeing that Lin Jinwen was about to pounce, the tea in Princess Duanhui's hand was thrown directly into her face, and she was almost about to splash on her face, but at the last moment, Lin Jinwen only felt a strong hand around her waist and pulled her back, and he barely stood firm, before he could see the person clearly, smelling the familiar fragrance near the tip of his nose, he was inexplicably a little aggrieved, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I thought you didn't want to see me." ”

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, the city wall he had painstakingly built to warn himself to stay away from her for a while collapsed. He thought that only by staying away from her could he protect her, after all, he was bound to become the target of the public, but now it seems that even his distance can't protect her, and those people will not be interested.

glanced at the culprit who was still standing behind Lin Jinwen, and stepped forward and kicked her out.

Everyone was stunned, and she stood up with a face, and she could see clearly that it was the eldest girl she arranged for her son to be kicked out.

The boy who came in to play a prank was frightened on the spot, and he opened his mouth to cry, Zhao Huaiyan saw it, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to pick him up and throw him out of the door.

Duan Hui was dumbfounded, and looked at him busily: "What are you doing, Weiye is your own nephew!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't even bother to sell her face, she only stared coldly at the lady of Qianhu who was spreading rumors, and then looked at Lin Jinwen: "Can you be hurt?" ”

Lin Jinwen listened to his gentle and anxious tone, and smiled lightly after standing firmly: "No." ”

"That's good." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, Rumei, who had just been kicked out, had already come back with Ling Weiye, who was crying, and she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Please make your Royal Highness the princess, the slave and maid have offended His Royal Highness King Ning somewhere, and they want to be beaten so by His Royal Highness." Even if the slave maid did something wrong, the son was innocent, he was so young. ”

As soon as these words came out, as if he was encouraging Ling Weiye, he burst into tears with a grin.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan threw it out without saying anything, and then turned his head to look at Rumei.

Seeing him like this, Rumei shrank in fright: "The king ...... The prince ......"

"Shall you insult the king's men?" Zhao Huaiyan's thin lips were slightly pursed, and without waiting for him to make a move, he was so frightened that he climbed out.

Duan Hui trembled with anger, looked at him and said angrily: "Zhao Huaiyan, you can't be crazy!" Even if Rumei accidentally bumped into her, wouldn't she be fine? Do you want to kill Rumei and Weiye? ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her coldly: "Auntie thinks this king won't?" Ling Weiye is still young, you are so disciplined, if you teach a bastard, this king will definitely break his leg personally! ”

When Zhao Huaiyan said this, Ling Weiye was already standing at the door by himself, Zhao Huaiyan turned his head coldly, he immediately stopped crying, and if he wanted to cry, he only covered his mouth with his hands.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinwen gently, paused, and said, "If it's okay, this king will send you home." ”

"That lady is about to have a hidden illness." Lin Jinwen glanced at the lady of the thousand households, if she remembered correctly, her hidden disease was not a serious illness, but it was extremely difficult to give birth, and she would be incontinent during the attack, and people would also fall into a state of madness. She smiled at her and said, "Madam, do you want me to take your pulse?" ”

Mrs. Hou nodded hurriedly, she still wanted people to see Lin Jinwen's medical skills, but before she could speak, Duan Hui said for Mrs. Hou: "This palace will invite the imperial doctor to take a look, don't bother you." Since you are so noble, you can't even provoke this palace, and you can't keep you in this third of the land, go back. ”

Lin Jinwen saw that she was spilling her anger on herself, and she only sighed leisurely in her heart, but she didn't stay long, and those who should be found in a few days will still come to the door.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chaohou saluted, and then went out with Zhao Huaiyan.

Just went out, and the voice of the lady of the thousand households came behind her: "She wanted to cling to the Imperial History Mansion, and didn't want her brother Lin Jincheng to marry Zheng Ruyi, so she slandered her reputation so much." ”

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, she frowned and stopped, and before she could speak, her sleeves were carefully pulled, and she saw her shallow curved eyes, hiding cunning: "When she comes to beg me, I will know that I regret it." "And doesn't her stupid son like Zheng Ruyi, and I don't know how Zhao Kan will feel when he marries a woman who has been married to a fool......
