Chapter 146: Jing Mofeng's intentions
A little wet nose came out first, followed by a pure white hairy head, and then it was stuck there, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't climb out, so it looked at Ling Qingrui with a pair of innocent big eyes.
It's a pure white puppy!
Ling Qingrui glanced at the puppy in surprise, and then raised her eyes to look at the smile that was still gentle, but with a bit of gentle Jingmo style.
Seeing Ling Qingrui looking at him, Jing Mofeng said with a little embarrassment: "Mofeng doesn't know what Miss Rui likes, but seeing that this puppy is very well-behaved, he brought it." ”
What is the explanation for this? Ling Qingrui was a little silent, she wondered what Jing Mofeng was going to do when she invited her today, could it be just to drink tea and eat snacks, see the scenery and give her a puppy?
At this time, the puppy in the box made a snorting sound because it couldn't climb out for a long time, it was too small to bark at all, Ling Qingrui reached out and hugged it out of the box a little helplessly, the puppy instantly seemed to have found a sense of security, and lay down in Ling Qingrui's hand and immediately quietly.
Really lying down, lying in Ling Qingrui's palm with four claws facing the sky, at this moment, Ling Qingrui's heart also softened instantly, her eyebrows and eyes softened, and the pear vortex on her cheeks was also looming, at this moment, as if nothing existed around her, as if she was not in such a deceitful world, what Aunt Shen and what she corrected, all of them had forgotten.
In this way, Ling Qingrui lowered her eyes and watched the little guy in the palm of her hand fall asleep soundly, and there was even a small snot bubble blowing out of her little nose, and Ling Qingrui suddenly smiled.
At this moment, she suddenly understood the purpose of Jing Mofeng's trip, he was afraid that he had learned the news that the emperor had ordered Aunt Shen to straighten out, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable, so he specially invited her out.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ling Qingrui looked at Jing Mofeng with a light smile, her heart was inexplicably grateful, Jing Mofeng smiled back, and the years were quiet at this moment.
Seeing that Ling Qingrui brought back a puppy, Chu Xue and the others were very surprised, but they still took it down and kept it carefully.
On the second day, the emperor had another decree, this time about the appointment of Liu Wenzhe's official position after returning to Beijing, and Liu Wenzhe's official position was promoted from the original prefect of the fourth rank to the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion of the fourth grade.
Although the official position has not been promoted too much, this Jingzhao Mansion Yin can also be regarded as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the various contradictions in the capital are intricate, and the interpersonal relationships are intertwined, which is not so easy to do, and the emperor's appointment may imply the meaning of examining Liu Wenzhe's ability.
But in any case, returning to Beijing from Yunzhou City to be promoted, this is also a great joy, coupled with Aunt Shen's rectification, the banquet in Liufu will inevitably be held well.
Chu Xue took the dress that Aunt Shen had just ordered someone to send, saying that it was specially prepared for the banquet, and said angrily: "Miss, Aunt Shen is too much, this has not been corrected, just treat Miss like this!" ”
Ling Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly, but her hand that was grinding medicinal herbs did not stop.
Chu Xue saw that Ling Qingrui didn't care, so she directly shook off the skirt and said, "Miss, look, at first glance, this skirt seems to be made of very good fabrics and finely made, but if you look closely, you can see that it is not the same thing at all. ”
Ling Qingrui raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the dress, and then said slowly: "Chu Xue, you send this dress back to Aunt Shen, you don't have to say anything." ”
Seeing Chu Xue go out with her clothes in confusion, Ling Qingrui shook her head slightly, such a childish method would not have been made by Aunt Shen at all, it should have been sent by Liu Mengxi in the name of Aunt Shen, I want to embarrass her, I really don't know if she really appeared at the banquet wearing such a dress, it would be her or Aunt Shen who would be embarrassed, this Liu Mengxi......
Not long after, Chu Xue came back with another set of dresses, along with some jewelry and other things, but Chu Xue was still uneasy to check there repeatedly, and finally it was Ling Qingrui who ordered her to go and see Bingyue, so that she gave up this inspection.
Ling Qingrui picked up the dress and looked at it, it didn't seem that there was anything wrong with it, but the dress seemed to have been incense, with a faint fragrance, and it was the fragrance that Ling Qingrui liked, which made Ling Qingrui frown slightly, she didn't think that Aunt Shen would be so intimate.
Her eyes fell on the jewelry, Ling Qingrui reached out and picked up a hairpin with a simple pattern, which also had a faint fragrance on it, which seemed to be exactly the same as the one on the dress, and Ling Qingrui's lips suddenly hooked up a smile.
The day of the banquet came soon, and the entire Liufu was busy, and many officials who did not send posts to Liu Wenzhe came to Liufu to congratulate him, which made Liu Wenzhe also busy.
And in Yusheng Xiaozhu, when Ling Qingrui was telling Bingyue not to get out of bed and rest for a while, she came out to report that the eldest lady and the second lady were here together.
"Sister Rui, but I haven't rested well, why don't you look very good?" Liu Mengyan looked at Ling Qingrui with concern and said.
Maybe someone said something to Liu Mengxi, but she actually had a smile on her face, and said: "Yes, Sister Rui, your face is indeed too ugly, fortunately I brought rouge gouache over, quickly wipe some rouge." ”
Ling Qingrui said with a smile: "Where is my bad face, it's just that the color of this dress is plain and light." ”
Hearing this, Liu Mengxi didn't react, but a touch of displeasure flashed in Liu Mengyan's eyes, and then she said: "How can it be, my mother specially chose this dress for Sister Rui, and Yan'er refused to give it to her mother if she wanted it, it can be seen how much my mother favors Sister Rui, and Sister Rui should wear some more headdresses, so that it will be more festive." ”
Ling Qingrui nodded and said yes, but pretended to be undeciduous and looked at the jewelry on the table, and then slowly stretched her fingers to one of the golden hairpins, Liu Mengyan said as if unintentionally: "The golden hairpin is a little too old-fashioned, not suitable for Sister Rui, Sister Rui has always liked plain and elegant, this hairpin is very good, what do you think, Sister Rui?" ”
What Liu Mengyan was holding was exactly what Ling Qingrui had seen before, the hairpin with a simple pattern, Ling Qingrui's eyes flashed a trace of essence, but she nodded.
"Sister Rui, can Yan'er come and wear this hairpin for you?" Liu Mengyan looked at Ling Qingrui with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that Ling Qingrui did not refuse, Liu Mengyan stepped forward with the hairpin, as if carefully inserting the hairpin into Ling Qingrui's hair, and suddenly she exclaimed "oops", and then hurriedly apologized to Ling Qingrui.
Ling Qingrui only felt a slight tingling pain somewhere on her head, but her scalp was cut by the hairpin, her eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and she turned her eyes to look at Liu Mengyan who was about to cry, Ling Qingrui said: "Second sister don't panic, it's okay, wearing a hairpin for me will make the second sister frightened, it's really mine, this step shake will be used as an apology to the second sister, the second sister should not refuse." ”
While speaking, Ling Qingrui picked up a step shake and inserted it directly into Liu Mengyan's hair, and could detect that when she plugged in the step shake, Liu Mengyan's body stiffened slightly, but Ling Qingrui smiled silently.
This step shake is also one of the jewelry that Aunt Shen sent to Yusheng Xiaozhu, but it is a butterfly step shake, not the type that Ling Qingrui likes, but what Liu Mengyan is used to, so Ling Qingrui chose this step shake, and Liu Mengyan really did not refuse.
At this moment, a maid reported that many ladies had come, and the old lady invited the three young ladies to the banquet to entertain the guests, and the three of them got up and went together.
And in front of the banquet, Liu Wenzhe welcomed a lot of guests, seeing that no one seemed to come anymore, he came to the banquet, but he didn't want to have someone to come, the three princes arrived, Liu Wenzhe hurriedly got up and went to the gate of the mansion to greet him, just saw the three princes, got up at the signal of the three princes, and saw a carriage parked outside the gate of the mansion, the tinkling bell, so that Liu Wenzhe instantly understood that this was the night exhibition of the prince of the country.
The third prince did not go inside, but stood there with gloomy and deep eyes, looking at Ye Zhanli who was helped off the carriage by Zuo Leyu, he heard that Ye Zhanli had been sick again in the past few days, and it seemed that he was too sick to get out of bed, how could he appear here at this time.
"I don't want to leave the world and have such leisure and elegance, come to the banquet in Liufu." Without waiting for Liu Wenzhe to speak, the third prince said so.
"I've seen the Third Highness, and the Third Highness is also very interested." Zuo Leyu said, but he helped Yezhan to walk straight inside as if no one was around.
The eyes of the third prince became even more gloomy in an instant, but he still smiled on his face: "It is also an old acquaintance with Lord Liu, how can you not come to congratulate Lord Liu when she is ascending." ”
Liu Wenzhe hurriedly responded: "It is the Third Highness and the departed son who are in love, and the Third Highness please." ”
In the face of the appearance of Ye Zhanli, almost everyone was quiet for a while, although they all got up to meet the three princes, their eyes were turning back and forth between Ye Zhanli and Liu Wenzhe, they had heard it before, it seemed that Ye Zhanli had an unusual attitude towards a daughter of Liufu, and at this time, Ye Zhanli appeared in Liufu, does it mean that Liufu has completely taken the big tree of Ye Zhanli?
Although Ye Zhanli is not good and can't speak, the emperor's favor for the protector and the night Zhanli is obvious to all, and it can be said that it is better to please the emperor than to directly please the emperor.
The group of people was waiting for the third prince and Ye Zhanli to sit down, but they didn't want Ye Zhanli to glance around, Zuo Leyu immediately said knowingly: "Lord Liu, our prince can't bear to sit here, and I hope Lord Liu will make it convenient." ”
Everyone was stunned, Liu Wenzhe didn't understand the meaning of coming over to the night at this moment, but he came to the banquet and said that he couldn't bear to sit here, so where did he want to go?
