Chapter 212: Jade Flower Commissioned Land (I)

"Outside?" Wen Yi's eyes widened in surprise, "When?" ”

"We will leave at the beginning of the month at the latest." Lin Mei'er smiled softly, "When the holy decree came down, our whole family was surprised. My father wrote more than ten years ago to ask for release, but the saint appreciated it and refused to do so, and then my father also died, but I didn't expect that now I can get what I want. My father went to Qingzhou and served as a political envoy, which can be regarded as a high promotion. ”

Wen Yi listened to it and remembered the city she passed by on the way to Beijing, and said busily: "Qingzhou is not far from Kangcheng, only a few days by water, I passed by when I went to Beijing, it seems to be a very prosperous place, and it is close to Guihai City." It's more interesting there. ”

"Really?" Lin Mei'er smiled happily when she heard this, "That's good, I've heard people talk about how prosperous and interesting Guihai City is all day long, but I have never been blessed to take a look in person, since my father can be transferred to Qingzhou, maybe my mother and I can also find an opportunity to go to Guihai City to open our eyes."

Li Chunxi suddenly said at this time: "This is a good thing, I look at it coldly on weekdays, people who only stay in the capital all the year round, always like to say that the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, and everything is the best. Regardless of Guihai being the largest port in the world, connecting the north and the south, east and west, countless foreign rare goods have to go ashore from there, just say that from Beijing all the way through, you can enjoy countless road scenery, open your eyes, and know the size of the world. ”

As soon as she said this, the Ruan family sisters, Long Ling, and Wen Yi all nodded approvingly. Although the three of them are from different backgrounds and backgrounds, they have all been to many places and seen the world, so they naturally know that Li Chunxi's words are reasonable, and they sigh for those short-sighted ladies on weekdays, but Zhu Nuan, Cha Yue and others heard it, but it was a different taste.

Zhu Nuan is okay, with her grandparents and parents on weekdays, she has also played in the suburbs of Beijing, because her grandfather loves elegance, and she has traveled to several famous mountains and rivers when she was young, she heard a lot of old experiences from her grandfather, and she can understand Li Chunxi's words, and even have a little envy in her heart, wishing that she could also go out of Beijing to see the world.

However, Cha Yue almost never left the capital. Don't look at her father who led an army alone and has been stationed outside for many years, but she and her mother really haven't moved the nest in order to avoid suspicion, at most they have gone to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for a few days, and they have never left the border of Gyeonggi. Therefore, when Zha Yue heard Li Chunxi's words, he felt a little uncomfortable, and secretly recalled that he acted on weekdays, did he have such a move of "sitting in a well and watching the sky"? After thinking about it, I remembered that I did seem to have said something similar to "The life in the capital is the most comfortable" and "That girl is a countryman", his face darkened, and he rushed out: "If you have the opportunity to go out of Beijing, you are naturally well-informed, but there is no need to laugh at people?" He glanced at Li Chunxi again and muttered in a low voice, "You just entered Beijing from Northern Xinjiang and walked by water for more than ten days, how much of the world can you see?" ”

Li Chunxi was displeased, so he straightened his face and stopped talking. It is true that she has only been in Northern Xinjiang and the capital, but Northern Xinjiang is vast, and she has been to several places, why hasn't she seen the world? Besides, she wasn't laughing at Cha Yue, why was the other party so aggressive?

Zhu Nuan looked at the two of them and seemed to be awkward, and hurriedly explained: "It's just an ordinary joke, why are you angry?" Let's get rid of it, it's rare to get together today, Mei'er is about to leave Beijing again, she doesn't know when she will see her again."

Although Wen Yi was annoyed that Cha Yue was making a big fuss, in order to calm things down, she also whispered to Li Chunxi: "Forget it, she is too careful, you didn't mean that, why bother talking with her, it seems that she really has that meaning." ”

Li Chunxi's expression softened slightly, and he didn't say anything more, Zha Yue pouted and didn't say anything. Ruan Mengxin smiled and opened the topic: "I didn't know that Mei'er was leaving Beijing before, so I didn't have any preparations, and our sisters will definitely make up a farewell gift another day...... Do you have to leave early next month? It's eighteen today, and it's not been a few days this month, will it be too rushed? ”

Lin Mei'er comprehended and said with a smile: "I also said so, it's just that the Holy Lord's will is urgent, my father once said that the former Qingzhou political envoy was suddenly ill and could no longer be a director, and even the beggar was written by the staff." Qingzhou's envoy is a fool again, but after a few days of escrow, the government affairs will be in chaos, and it can no longer be delayed. The saint was in a hurry to find someone, and just remembered that his father had said in the early years that he wanted to put it out for a few years, so he hurried to put the duck on the shelf. We passed from the capital, it was cheap, I heard that the Qingzhou according to the inspection made this mistake, was reprimanded as incompetent, there has been a will to pass, remove him, the successor was originally the political envoy of Nan'anbu, to rush from the south, but also ordered to arrive before April, this lord can be more than our family to rush it. Speaking of this, she looked at Wen Yi again, "Speaking of which, I heard people mention that the political envoy of Nan'anbu and your family still seem to be close?" ”

Wen Yi asked, "But the surname is Su?" That's it, this Mrs. Su's maiden name is Liu, and she is Liu Shangshu's sister-in-law, and she is indeed related to our parents' room. When I was a child, I saw Mrs. Su with Miss Su and Mr. Su, and their family was heading south to take up their duties. After a pause, "It's just that I remember that Master Su has completed one term, and the second term has not expired, so why did he suddenly transfer to Qingzhou?" Moreover, he was transferred from the political envoy to the probationary envoy...... "Is this considered a demotion?"

Lin Mei'er said: "I don't know about this, the saint's arrangement, it must be reasonable, as for the grade, it is probably because Nan'an is remote, but Qingzhou is a big city, right?" It is the same official position, with different jurisdictions and different weights. ”

Without waiting for Wen Yi to say anything more, Long Ling interjected: "In this way, when Sister Gu returns to her hometown, if she takes the waterway, she will still be able to meet Mei'er?" It's so good, but we don't know when we'll see her again."

Zhu Nuan also sighed when she heard this: "Isn't it? She stretched out her finger and gently poked Lin Mei'er's forehead, "You are a family affair again, otherwise I really want to keep you in our house for a long time."

Lin Mei'er blushed and spat her: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"I'm not talking nonsense," Zhu Nuan flattened his mouth, "It will take three years for Master Lin to go, you must be married in office, but your mother-in-law's family is not in Beijing, you go, I don't know that you will have to return to Beijing in the Year of the Monkey...... You have no conscience, won't you be reluctant to me? ”

Ruan Mengxuan sighed: "People are pessimistic, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. Not to mention, if we two sisters didn't go to Beijing on the Queen Mother's birthday, we wouldn't be able to get together with you. If the younger sister of the Li family hadn't entered Beijing at this time, we wouldn't have known her. He pointed at Wen Yi again, "And the ninth sister of the Gu family, why isn't that the case?" When Mei'er goes out of Beijing with her father and Sister Gu Jiu goes home, if even Ling'er has to leave, we will really disperse. ”

Wen Yi heard the sadness in her words, and hurriedly persuaded: "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, if there is no separation, how can there be joy when we meet again?" The fate between people is an unpredictable thing, maybe we are separated today, but tomorrow we meet again in a different place? What's more, Sister Lin still has a few days to leave, why should everyone be sad at this time? ”

Lin Mei'er also persuaded her: "That's right, you don't have to be like this. ”

Li Chunxi suddenly proposed: "If you are reluctant, while she is still there, let's see her a few more times." I want to come to her mother-in-law's house to be an official, but anyone who is an official has no reason not to go to Beijing. Let's wait in Beijing, are you afraid that there will be no goodbye one day? ”

Lin Mei'er blushed, but she didn't refute it, Zhu Nuan and the others felt justified, and their hearts were better. Seeing this, Long Ling pursed his lips and smiled: "Mei'er is leaving, you are so reluctant, I don't know if you will miss me like this when I want to leave?" ”

Ruan Mengxin glanced at her, pursed her lips and snickered, but Ruan Mengxuan said happily: "What do you want you to do?" Now there is nothing to worry about, but the family is busy with the affairs of the northern Xinjiang, and I can't take care of it for a while. That way, even if you are transferred to a foreign position in your family, you don't have to leave. ”

Long Ling blushed and pinched her: "You little devil, see if I don't tear your mouth" Ruan Mengxuan smiled and hid around, Ruan Mengxin helped cover it, and everyone laughed when they watched them make trouble.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared at the door: "What's the matter?" It's so hilarious. ”

Wen Yi turned her head to look with everyone, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing at the door, tall, with a face like a disc, a pair of thick eyebrows reflecting big eyes, although her appearance was not beautiful, but she looked very energetic. She was wearing a purple dress, with a heavy silk tie at the waist, and she looked exceptionally fit, which was very different from the average elegant lady.

The Ruan family sisters and Long Ling both smiled, and each walked back to their original positions, Zhu Nuan's face flashed with surprise, but he quickly got up and greeted him with a smile: "Qingguo? What are you doing here? ”

"What? Can't I come? The girl raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Wen Yi was depressed, and she didn't know which one it was, so Lin Mei'er whispered over: "This is the young lady of General Du's family, and my mother is the county lord of Luwang." Wen Yi suddenly realized, but when she saw that everyone present was drinking tea, and no one paid attention to this Miss Du except Zhu Nuan, she hesitated and didn't know whether to get up and say hello.

"You're overly careful." Zhu Nuan smiled and dealt with Du Qingguo, and explained lightly, "We thought it was cold outside, so we came to the house to eat tea and sit down, and we originally wanted to call you here, but I just saw you accompanying your grandmother, mother, and uncles, grandmothers, and aunts, so it was not easy to disturb." ”

Du Qingguo nodded, and didn't ask any further, just glanced at the room and pointed at Wen Yi and Li Chunxi: "These two faces are new?" Who's the guy? Rolling his eyes, "Why don't you see Jiang Yatou?" Could it be that she knew that I was coming, so she was afraid? ”

Wen Yi's heart moved, could it be that this is the person who Zhu Nuanti did not agree with Jiang Yao?

Zhu Nuan smiled: "How come? Yao'er was originally going to come, but unfortunately she was not good. Let's ignore her, you come and sit, let's talk together. We were joking just now, did you see the hairpin that Miss Zheng was wearing today? Presumably after today, this kind of hairpin will be popular all over the capital."

When Du Qingguo heard this, he rolled his eyes impatiently: "It's like this again, aren't you annoyed?" What is the meaning of these fat powder hairpin ring silk flower head oil? Just inside it, those princesses and concubines were talking about this. By the way, in addition to the Zheng family's girl, isn't there another girl who wears this kind of hairpin? Several county lords pestered the elders, they had to pass the girl in to take a closer look, and when they saw people, they kept asking, and the girl who came in with her said that what was the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, a mouth was really sweeter than honey, and several princesses were stunned, as if she was the most knowledgeable about fat powder and head oil in the world, it was really annoying."

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and was secretly taken aback. What this Miss Du said, could it be that Wen Xian and Liu Su were referring to? At this moment, how many people are there to accompany Wen Hui?

She suddenly felt uneasy, and she could hardly sit still, and she wanted to find someone to ask her immediately

At this moment, Wen Hui was in the plum forest, looking at Zheng Lijun who was smiling a little ill-intentioned in front of her, and the cold in her heart kept surging up.

She quickly peeked around, and saw that there was no third person in the forest except them, and the maid who had just led the way did not know where to go, so she had to reluctantly hold on and ask, "What are you going to do here?" How could that girl have my sixth sister's things? ”

Zheng Lijun smiled slightly: "That kind of thing is not difficult to do, what is there to ask?" Could it be that you've only been away from me for a few days and you've really become stupid? ”

Wen Hui was even more uneasy in her heart, but she was not to be outdone: "You deliberately let people lure me over, what was your idea?" I don't believe you still have the courage to play any tricks at this time, so many people at the banquet, not only one saw you and I leave the table one after another, if something happens to me, you don't want to escape the blame, you are not a candidate for the crown princess now, dispose of you, the prince of Dongping chose another famous lady as his wife, and it will not hinder him in anything."

Zheng Lijun's face sank, but she soon sneered again: "The mouth is really hard...... I know that you are now married to Liu Dongning, and you will soon be the young grandmother of Shangshu Mansion, but so what? When you have the support of your life, are you qualified to be arrogant in front of me? You have such a great reputation in the capital all these years, all because of my earnings, others treat you politely, but just look at my face, just look at what attitude others treat you now, you know that you actually only have a few catties and a few taels, what do you think you are? Dare to be rude in front of me? ”

Wen Hui's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and endured it before he choked up and said, "What else do you want?" Zhu Jingcheng will soon be your husband, what I said at the beginning has now proved that it is just delusion, my family background is not as good as yours, my popularity is not as good as yours, and the people I marry are not as good as you, what if I admit you? I have not done anything to you...... Why won't you let me go? ”

Zheng Lijun snorted coldly: "It was you who betrayed me first, and I didn't look at what kind of reputation and color I had, so I dared to think about Brother Jingcheng...... " She raised her eyebrows meaningfully, "I heard that the Taiping Mountain bandits are very strong, I don't know if it's true or not?" My sister must know very well, why don't you talk to the people in the capital? ”

Wen Hui gasped, her voice trembling: "You...... What do you know? ”

"I want to know, isn't it easy?" Zheng Lijun approached Wen Hui and condescendingly despised her, "You shouldn't have delusioned him from the beginning, your honor is all because of me, I can use you, it was your honor, but as a result, not only did you disobey, but you also dared to threaten me...... If you can't be the crown princess, can't I help you? Don't joke about it, Liu Shangshu and Gu Shilang obviously relied on the queen's family to gain power, but they connived at you to have a relationship with our Zheng family...... The queen mother and the Yao family have long been dissatisfied in their eyes, and now they will pull them off the horse just when the opportunity comes...... I want to see, by that time, what kind of face do you still have to think that you are Miss Qianjin" She showed a bright and charming smile, "As long as I tell my father, get closer to your Lao Tzu and Liu Shangshu ......"

"You ......" Wen Hui gritted her teeth, angry and anxious, "What grievances do you have, come straight at me, don't count my family"

Zheng Lijun pursed her lips disdainfully: "I'm willing, can you manage it?" Then he smiled again, "I called you out today to tell you this." I don't hurt you, I just have to watch you fall from the clouds slowly, and watch you live like this, that's enough."

Wen Hui staggered back two steps and asked with tears in her eyes, "Why are you doing this?" I...... Even if I say something unpleasant, I won't hurt you anything...... Even if I had delusional thoughts about Zhu Jingcheng, it was because I didn't know that you had that mind for him since I was a child...... Those who don't know are not guilty, why do you have to keep an eye on me? ”

Zheng Lijun sneered: "Whether you know it or not, as long as you have that undesirable mind, I can't spare you" why? Between the issuance of the holy decree, even Wen Hui, who had lost her reputation, could think of him, but only she couldn't? Now that her wish has finally come true, she wants to marry into the Dongping Mansion despite everyone's criticism, but the reputation of others is not damaged, she is not convinced

Wen Hui took a few breaths and said with hatred: "You can only do this to me, if you have a heart of admiration for Zhu Jingcheng, why not me?" The young lady of the Hou family of Yongchang, as well as the young lady of the Wang family and the young lady of the Zhang family...... So many people, why don't you teach a lesson? You're just a fierce inward-looking, you can only be angry with me like this, in fact, you have no confidence for a long time."

"You are talking nonsense," Zheng Lijun was a little annoyed, "Do you think I spared them?" Don't you look at what happened to them now? Let me tell you, Zhu Jingcheng belongs to me alone, no matter who it is, as long as she dares to think about him, I will never let her have a good result."

"So, that incident is really a game you set up?"

A cold male voice came from behind, Zheng Lijun was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and saw Zhu Jingcheng looking at him with a frosty face.
