In the evening, Ling Qingyue climbed over the outer wall of Chu Zhuang and went straight to Wang Wenqian's study.

There was a yellow lamp in the study, Wang Wenqian was writing something, and the halo was reflected on his face, forming a strange halo.

Ling Qingyue sat beside Wang Wenqian with a golden knife, and said with compassion: "Wang Sicheng, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you actually chew the root of the tongue of men and women like a long-tongued woman?" ”

Wang Wenqian disagreed: "General Ling's words are wrong, what the official said about Miss Geng completely restores the facts, and there are no branches and leaves, where does 'chewing the tongue' come from?" ”

Ling Qingyue was choked by Wang Wenqian, her throat and eyes hurt so much, and she said in her heart, this Wang Wenqian, as Xiangling said, "learned badly", not pure.

The corners of Ling Qingyue's mouth rose and said, "It's a pity that your abacus is empty, Xiangling didn't misunderstand me." ”

Wang Wenqian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Really? General Ling, the original purpose of this official was not to sow discord, but to let you come to me, aren't you here now? ”

Ling Qingyue: "......"

The corners of Wang Wenqian's lips rose and continued: "When General Ling leaves in a while, you don't have to be a gentleman on the beam anymore, I will let someone leave the door for you." ”

Ling Qingyue: "......"

Ling Qingyue calmed down and said calmly: "You have something to do with me?" I happen to have something to do with you, too. ”

Wang Wenqian put down the pen and ink in his hand, stared at Ling Qingyue with his eyes, and said solemnly: "Why are you only engaged but don't marry Miss Chu for a long time?" Women are like flowers, the flowering season is very short, and they are fleeting when they bloom or fail, and they cannot be delayed. Or do you think that the hiring was impulsive and wanted to regret the marriage? ”

Ling Qingyue didn't expect Wang Wenqian to deceive herself, but she was upset for Xiangling.

More than a year ago, he was the one who didn't want to marry Xiangling, and now, he is the one who thinks he is slow to marry and doesn't give Xiangling a name.

What a nosy rival!

However, this rival did not disgust Ling Qingyue.

Although Wang Wenqian still likes Xiangling, he behaves very indifferently and frankly in front of Xiangling, and he didn't even take Xiangling with him to discuss the extermination of locusts, but discussed with Chu Lizheng alone.

Ling Qingyue felt that she should reassure him, lest he make noise with him again.

Ling Qingyue said honestly: "Wang Sicheng, you are wrong, it's not that I don't want to marry Xiangling, but that Xiangling refuses to marry me, and requires that I must be at least eighteen years old, I pinch my fingers every day to count the days, there are still six hundred and fourteen days left......"

Wang Wenqian was so shocked that he could stuff a whole egg in his mouth, how could this fact be completely different from what he imagined?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Chu Xiangling hate to marry? How did she become like Ling Qingyue was like a resentful woman?

Wang Wenqian suddenly felt a little sorry for Ling Qingyue, his own lady couldn't control it at all, and it was also a very bad thing.

By the time Chu Xiangling was eighteen years old, Ling Qingyue was almost twenty-three or fourteen years old, and men of his age had long been married and concubined, and their children could play soy sauce, and he was still an old bachelor.

Wang Wenqian remembered one thing, and said to Ling Qingyue calmly: "I asked Li Zheng about something, I heard that the Jiang clan officially remarried Ge Changlin and the mother-in-law remarried, which will be harmful to you and Miss Chu, I advise you to stop this matter." ”

As a person in the officialdom, you can't have the slightest criticism, either give people a handle or become a laughing stock.

Wang Wenqian is attached to the Yun family, so he naturally knows that the Yun family is Ling Qingyue's big backer, and the Yun family are all civilian Beijing officials, and it is very likely that Ling Qingyue will be transferred back to Beijing by finding an opportunity.

Ling Qingyue smiled slightly and said, "I just want the benefit of 'Xiangling is happy', even if there are all kinds of harms, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Wenqian was stunned, this kind of thing, put it on himself, the first thing he thought of was that his officialdom was blocked, and then how difficult it was for his mother to be in her mother-in-law's house, and the only thing Ling Qingyue thought of was whether Xiangling would be happy.

Wang Wenqian sneered: "Aren't you afraid that Xiangling will be criticized in the Ling family in the future?"

Ling Qingyue said indifferently: "Whether it is the Ling family or among the courtiers, her husband's favor is the biggest dependence, I am good to Xiangling, and she is fearless."

Wang Wenqian was stunned for a long time, and seemed to suddenly understand where the gap between himself and Ling Qingyue was.

Marry herself, Chu Xiangling will become Wang Wenqian's wife;

And marrying Ling Qingyue, Chu Xiangling will not only become Ling Qingyue's wife, but also Chu Xiangling herself.

Ling Qingyue stared at Wang Wenqian's eyes, then pouted and said: "Wang Wenqian, before you were transferred back to the household department to serve as the head of the Liupin Sinong Temple, Yun Shangshu wrote to me to ask about your situation, and I told you the truth about your merits, and did not set up any obstacles, so that you could return to Beijing to take up your post; This time to exterminate the locusts, Xiangling has made a great contribution, I hope you can also be like me, ask the household department for practical things, and don't take credit. ”

Wang Wenqian was a little stunned again, he was directly promoted from the small county order in the remote area of Qipin to the capital household department from the six-pin Sinong Temple, he thought that he was a thousand miles of horses to meet Bole, and was fortunate to be appreciated by the official department Shangshu Yunyao (Yunshou Fu Yun Mubai's eldest son), and now I know that Ling Qingyue is the key first step, but if he says the word "no", it is estimated that this matter will be in vain.

Because of Chu Xiangling, the two should obviously be rivals in love, and they are on the same page, but at the critical moment, Ling Qingyue can be an adult, which is completely unexpected by Wang Wenqian.

Comparing the two, it seems that I have some baht and chicken intestines.

Wang Wenqian handed the letter written on the table to Ling Qingyue and said, "You are generous, and I am not stingy." This is the report I just wrote, and I didn't take credit at all, and I was realistic. ”

Wang Wenqian took the report, took a cursory glance, and basically restored the facts, with a large paragraph of text, which wrote Xiangling's exploits in dealing with the locust plague in the entire Lin'an County.

Of course, Ling Qingyue's "chicken walking" was also mentioned.

Ling Qingyue returned the letter to Wang Wenqian with satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth rose: "The writing is good." ”

Wang Wenqian pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I have a suggestion. Miss Chu is a woman, and if she is asked for her merits, the household department will give her a pardon order at most; And you are different, if the merit is counted on your head, and Yun Shoufu makes a lot of efforts, you will definitely be able to go back to Beijing to fill the real gap, which is a hundred times stronger than the current embarrassing position. I was appointed by the Yun family, and Miss Chu is your fiancée, she will not object, I can be flexible. ”

Ling Qingyue shook her head and said, "If I wanted to take credit, I wouldn't have come to let you report it truthfully." That pardon order is just a piece of paper that is useless to our careers in our eyes, but it can make Xiangling straighten her waist in the Ling family, and make those women in the back house dare not underestimate her. ”

Wang Wenqian nodded solemnly, and his heart was very touched, if he was a woman, he would also like such a man!

Wang Wenqian put the letter in his mouth and said to Ling Qingyue: "Tomorrow, I will go to see Shaoqing and report on the disaster resistance situation in Lin'an County, and he will report Xiangling's merits, so that the success will be greater." ”

Ling Qingyue nodded gratefully, turned around and left, did not go to the main gate, and still acted as a gentleman on the beam.
