Chapter 131: Unprovoked Events on the Eve of the Palace Banquet (1)
Today's Jingzhao Mansion Yin Nai is a young man with a lot of fairy bones, although he is dressed in the official mansion, but it is still difficult to hide the immortal aura on his body.
The predecessor Jing Zhaoyin was dismissed from his official post because he was not good at doing things, and he was recruited and transferred from the poor countryside to Beijing.
Now Jingzhao Yin and Cao Yanbing are sitting in the courtyard of Jingzhao Mansion, watching their master pacing back and forth.
"Master, you are walking back and forth like this, and you are a little dazzled by this mansion."
Master Cui Yongfu is from Yongwen County, Jiangnan, a place with a flourishing literary style and many talents.
Cui Yongfu raised his eyebrows, sat down next to Cao Yanbing, and scolded and said, "My lord, you are going to lose the black gauze hat on your head now, you are not in a hurry." ”
Cao Yanbing patted his friend beside him and said, "You and I have had a bumpy road from Yongwen County, isn't it normal for this kind of thing to happen?" ”
Cui Yongfu wanted to say something to refute it, but his words reached his throat, but he found that he had no words to refute his statement.
has been in the officialdom of Chengguo for so long, from the pride of the youth to the frustration of the officialdom, several years of hard work have made the once ambitious teenager become the current immortal who sees through the floating life.
Cao Yanbing turned around and said nothing, leaving Cui Yongfu silently choked on the side.
If this Dacheng Emperor is really important, then he will leave himself in the capital Jingzhao Mansion, located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where the emperor's relatives, princes and generals, and powerful officials live, and the rich and powerful marry each other, and their relationships are intertwined.
If Jing Zhaoyin is weak, the law and order in Beijing will be in chaos, and the official will be dismissed and seized; If Jing Zhaoyin is strong, he is bound to kill the lawless magnates, the more people kill, the better the security of the Jingshi, and the more powerful people will offend.
And these powerful people are all figures who go straight to heaven, and no matter how good the emperor is, he can't withstand the repeated impeachments of Jing Zhaoyin, and finally ends up with a dead person.
Therefore, it is quite difficult to govern Jingzhao, and Jingzhao Yin is also known as the most difficult official. If you do it, you will be demoted, but if you do it well, you will end up being killed.
Another official walked back to the palace with a sad face, "My lord." ”
"Still no news?"
"Nope."
As soon as he took office, there were two major events that seemed to fall on Cao Yanbing's body, one was the tragedy of destroying the village in the manor outside the Yiwangfu, and the other was that the seventh lady of the Yiwangfu was assassinated in Beijing and almost lost her life.
"Aren't you going to look for Xiangye?"
Cao Yanbing got up and patted the dust behind him, straightened his official uniform, and said, "Let's go." ”
"What?"
"Let's drink."
Cui Yongfu pointed at Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion who had an indifferent face and a hippie face, his face was flushed, and then he exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Let's go!" ”
Anyone in the world can scold the adult in front of him, but he can't, the candlelight reflects the figures of the two of them longer and longer, and then disappears at the courtyard gate.
The capital has not been as lively as this year for many years, close to the palace banquet of His Majesty the Emperor, the curfew in the capital has been lifted, and the shops and restaurants in the evening are lit up, and the city is full of people, entertaining pedestrians.
It is the excitement and the natural hidden opportunities, and the people from all over the world have come to win a bright future for themselves.
The Star Picking Tower, which is known as the highest building in Beijing, is lit up every night, and the people on each floor of the Star Picking Building push the cup and change the lamp, facing the visitors between the floors, telling the dissatisfaction in their hearts, vainly begging for this to go straight to the ears of Bole, and turn over with a salted fish.
But a salted fish is still a salted fish after all, even if it turns over, it is still a salted fish.
Xiao Qi looked at this tall building in the distance and secretly became distracted, returned from Zhang Biao's mansion, and heard that the second sister said goodbye without saying goodbye, Xiao Qi, who was not very happy, was even more depressed.
Don't say goodbye? It should have been said, but Xiao Qi didn't see the last of his second sister.
Ai Yaya walked to Xiao Qi's side and looked at the light in the distance outside the courtyard, "Miss, it's time to rest." ”
"Okay."
"What's on Miss's mind?"
Xiao Qi shook his head, didn't say anything, turned to Ai Yaya and showed an ugly smile, and suddenly thought of something, "Is Aunt Liu back?" ”
Ai Yaya shook her head and returned to the house with Xiao Qi,
After Liu Yunhua's Xiaoqi was attacked, he no longer went out quietly as before, but entered and exited the main gate openly, and did not go to get permission to go out, and he went for a day, just like today, and still did not come back.
Xiao Qi and Xue Yi are still two people in the same room, Ai Yaya has also moved over, Ting'er didn't join in this kind of excitement, but she didn't have the same heart as before, she could calm down and read, but spent a longer time looking at the three of them blankly.
The matter of Zhang Zhumeng's departure from the Zhang family can be regarded as spreading to various courtyards, but the other sisters are probably used to Zhang Zhumeng's farewell like this, but they don't know that this farewell is really a parting.
At the moment when Ai Yaya blew out the candle, Ting'er on the other side also extinguished the candle, but sat on the kang in a daze for a long time, and there were a few books left by Ai Yaya on the kang, but more of them were her own books.
Gently holding a scroll whose title was invisible, he put it next to his pillow before he slept with a smile and satisfaction.
Liu Yeyu, who was also looking at the bright and swaying high-rise building, seemed a little breathless, and asked the second next to him when he would be able to go out to play.
It's just that the young man named II played Tai Chi in his words, and he neither said good nor bad, which could only make Her Royal Highness the princess sulk herself.
"II, did you say that my aunt has come back?"
The second leaned against the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and hummed softly, "I don't know. ”
"Then do you think my aunt will agree to my proposal?"
"The princess's proposal this time is very big, I don't know."
Liu Yeyu glanced at the second by his window, and said quietly: "I didn't plan to do this, but people are not as good as heaven, and a great opportunity is in front of me, if I don't fight for it, I won't be Liu Yeyu." ”
The second also said: "Maybe the princess's life is good, if not, it will not be you who sent to the kingdom." ”
Liu Yeyu snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to this guy who didn't know how to do things, and directly closed the window angrily and blew out the candle.
Then a coquettish voice came from the room, "II, come and sleep!" ”
The maids peeking on the side were all happy, stopped what they were doing, and heard the princess's words, which meant that the princess was going to really sleep, even if she didn't sleep, if she wanted to do something with Lord II, it wasn't that they, the maids, could overhear.
So they laughed and bowed to the second first, and then laughed again and returned to the room.
The second was still leaning against the window of Liu Yeyu, not knowing what to think.
Everyone is calculating something, but everyone is calculating, this is the capital, as long as there are powerful people in this capital, no one can escape.
Xiao Qi was not only sad because of the departure of his second sister, but also because of Zhang Biao's words, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and there is a thigh to hug, why not do it.
But is his word true? Or is it fake? Xiao Qipin doesn't come out.
Xue Yi listened to Xiao Qi's shortness of breath and asked, "Miss, can't you sleep?" ”
Xiao Qi nodded, but found that they were already lying down, how could anyone pay attention, so he could only hum in a deep voice.
"Is Miss thinking about what Mr. said yesterday, or about the second miss leaving?"
"It's both."
"Actually, in my opinion, Miss might as well believe Mr."
After Xiao Qi left the courtyard with the cold woman in the nursery rhyme, Zhang Biao asked her to sit down, said something about the current situation in Beijing, and then asked if she wanted to leave.
The strangest thing is that when he heard that he was going to choose to leave, Zhang Biao's eyes showed a trace of pity, but it flashed in a trance, and when he looked at him again, his eyes had become clear.
"If you remain firm in your thoughts, the road ahead will be difficult and unpredictable."
Xiao Qi was still thinking about this sentence in Zhang Biao's mouth, but under Liu Yunhua's teaching, where did she believe in what fate.
Zhang Biao no longer talked to her about these topics, but told some jokes and some of his observations.
"I think Mr. must have been too idle recently, and he didn't have a good audience, so he pulled Miss to say something of unknown significance."
If it weren't for Ai Yaya's sudden interjection, Xiao Qi and Xue Yi thought that Ai Yaya, who had a steady breath, would have fallen asleep with her head covered.
Xue Yi said: "Mr. is a talker, but every word is like a pearl, and every sentence is a proverb, and I have a lot of insights after listening to it." ”
"That's..."
Ai Yaya wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything behind, "Forget it, sleep, if I get up late tomorrow, I will be beaten to death by my mother-in-law." ”
The mother-in-law in Ai Yaya's mouth is an old man in the house sent by the Zhang family to teach her etiquette.
Xue Yi asked, "What is that, you can tell me about it." ”
Ai Yaya said in a dull voice: "I see that you Nizi just don't have a good heart, and want me to wake up later tomorrow, and then be beaten by my mother-in-law!" ”
Xue Yi was poked by Ai Yaya, and muttered a little embarrassedly: "How can there be?" You Nizi, you have wronged a good person, if you are scared, then I will get up early tomorrow and call you no? ”
"It's strange, you pig, sleep more heavily than Miss."
"Ai Ya Ya, you can't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air!"
Ai Yaya talked about Xue Yi's weakness, and suddenly Xue Yi's voice was a little angry, since breaking through the bottleneck of the so-called martial arts, his senses when he woke up were much better than before.
But I really didn't wake up on time like before, and I slept groggily every time.
Xiao Qi didn't interject, after complaining about the bitterness that day, he felt a lot closer to these two people, just listening to the words of the two, some wanted to laugh and forget what happened just now.
Ai Yaya didn't pay attention to her, just yawned loudly, this big thing didn't matter, it was suddenly contagious, the yawns of the three girls came and went, after all, they still couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep deeply.
