Hengyu listened more and more curiously.

Young and good-looking Lang Jun......

"At first, it was either a blockade, or it had something to do with Su Niangzi's family, but Su Niangzi didn't seem to know it at the moment-" She speculated: "The other party didn't stop each other later, maybe he saw the clue, so he turned his head to check Cao Guanting?" ”

After all, Cao Guanting was deceived at both ends, and the Su family didn't know about it before, so it was a normal reaction to make people stop each other.

But what this Lang Jun did later made people can't help but look at it a few more times.

In this way, this Lang Jun is not only young and good-looking, but also very sensible.

There was a hint of a smile in Hengyu's eyes.

Although I have never met each other, and I don't know who the other party is, it is always pleasant to deal with sensible and intelligent people.

Ji Nanxian agreed with his sister's speculation: "It should be so. ”

The family did not delve into the matter further, but was taken by Mrs. Meng to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

Hengyu was holding a little girl in a pink skirt with round cheeks in her hand, this was her brother and sister-in-law's child Ashu, who had just turned three years old.

By the way, her sister-in-law is now pregnant again, and the month is still not obvious - but being pregnant does not delay her sister-in-law to roll up her sleeves.

Heng Yu and the others knelt down and kowtowed towards the tablet.

Ji Nanxian held the holy decree of promotion in his hand: "The grandson will not forget his grandfather's teachings, and he will try his best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, protect the country and the mountains, benefit the people, and open the way of peace." ”

Hengyu knelt there, looking at his grandfather's tablet, his eyes were a little moist.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ji Nanxian took two steps back and said, "Xiao Yu'er, follow me to the study to talk." ”

"Brother, but there is something important?"

In the outer study, only the two brothers and sisters sat opposite each other.

Ji Nanxian looked at his sister, and his eyes showed solemnity: "Ah Heng——"

Heng Yu was stunned.

Brother called her Ah Heng instead of Xiao Yu'er, there are only two situations.

When she was a child, every time she heard her brother call her Ah Heng, she knew that she had made a mistake again.

When he is older, when he encounters something urgent and serious, his brother will also call Ah Heng.

Now, it looks like the latter.

Sure enough—

"There's a clue to the tattoo pattern." Ji Nanxian lowered his voice and said.

Heng Yu's whole body was tense, and his eyes changed drastically.

It's been eight years......

Finally a clue!

Eight years was too long, but it didn't dampen her resolve to find out about Aweng's death.

She knew that when Ah Weng was desperate to protect each other, the sentence "Only by living can we avenge Ah Weng" was just to provoke her to survive, but in her heart, this was something she would never give up.

Fortunately, her brother and sister-in-law and grandmother had always believed in her, and with a single picture she had drawn, they secretly tracked down her for four whole years.

"Brother, where is the clue?" She hurriedly asked.

"Yingzhou—"

Yingzhou?

Heng Yu's eyebrows twisted slightly.

Northland.

That was the fief before the Jin king's rebellion, and now the person sitting in the town is the famous Dingbei Marquis Xiao Mu......

In the lady's gauze lamp, the candlelight flickered and jumped for a moment.

……

In the days after sending Su Lianniang away, Hengyu, who was in and out of various mansions with Jiang Media, was a little busy.

Hearing that he was going to Jiang Mansion today to paint a portrait of the girl of the Jiang family, Heng Yu was quite surprised.

There is only one girl in the Jiang family named Jiang Xuexi, and her father Jiang Zhengfu is now serving as Zhongshu Ling, the head of Zhongshu Province, and the prime minister of the previous dynasty-

However, Miss Jiang has been frail and sick since she was a child, and now she is over 10 years old, and the matter of discussing marriage has been delayed.

This is the first time she has entered the Jiang Mansion, and it is also the first time she has seen this Jiang family girl.

At the beginning of September, a rain fell today, which added two points of coolness. Heng Yu carried a painting box, covered with a red-colored embroidered white crane cloak, and was invited into the Jiang family's girl's courtyard with Jiang Media.

Introduced by the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion, Hengyu took off his cloak and sat down behind the painting.

Jiang Xuexi sat in the comb chair and looked at the girl who painted her portrait - the pavilion girl was holding her bun, holding a pen with a slender wrist, a jade neck, a light green skirt and an apricot-colored thin shirt, and her face was full of seriousness.

"The little lady Ji is so good-looking, she deserves to be recognized as the first beauty in the second city of the east and west of Beijing, and the fifty-four squares." Jiang Xuexi said with a smile, her voice was weak and slow from a long illness.

Hengyu paused slightly and smiled.

I have to say that it's really easy to close the distance between girls.

Who doesn't love to be complimented.

"That's because the misinformation has never seen the world, and it's no wonder that Miss Jiang doesn't go out easily, if the world sees Miss Jiang, the name of the first beauty in Beijing has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xuexi covered her mouth and smiled.

The little girl has a sweet look and a sweet mouth.

But she still thinks in her heart that she can't compare, because the little lady Ji is not only good-looking.

What I saw at the moment, the girl was not only scented with books, but also behaved generously and informally.

According to rumors, after returning home from exile for several years, this little lady played juju, polo and pitcher, and also raised a child and a son-in-law...... cough, this is just a rumor, of course, even if it is true, it is an existence that makes her admire and envy even more-

All in all, this little lady Ji, who is the first and only official female painter in Dasheng, can be described as "no taboos".

Others pointed and pointed, and a lot of ugly words came to her ears, but she only had one thought - such a girl is too chic.

If she could, she really wanted to live like this.

Live as you please.

I don't know what I thought, Jiang Xuexi's eyes dimmed slightly, and she said softly: "I have been sick all the year round, and it is inevitable to be depressed, so I can draw whatever I should look like, and Little Lady Ji doesn't have to bother with writing." ”

"How could it be! Even if Miss Jiang is not powdered, she is also beautiful, graceful and moving! Jiang median praised with a smile on the side.

The smile on Jiang Xuexi's lips was weak and shallow.

Looking at each other, Heng Yu smiled knowingly, and responded: "Miss Jiang, don't worry." ”

Jiang Xuexi smiled and bowed her head slightly: "Thank you." ”

After finishing the painting, Heng Yu held the scroll and left the Jiang family's girl's residence with Jiang Media.

"My lord, those two should be people from the official media yamen, who came to paint the girl's portrait on the order......"

On the side of the path connecting the front yard, the steward saw that his lord was looking at the two figures, and said respectfully.

"Is that the granddaughter of the gentleman?" Jiang Zhengfu looked at the girl's back, and there was no specific emotion in his restrained eyes.

Mr?

Refers to Mr. Qinghan, right?

The steward reacted and hurriedly replied, "Exactly." ”

Jiang Zhengfu didn't say anything more, stood quietly for a while, and then left.

The steward sighed inwardly.

I hope that it will not be my own girl who will be selected in the end, not to mention that adults see the girl as if they were eyeballs, just say that Lang Jun had an accident in Yingzhou three years ago...... With these entanglements, it is possible for Lord Lang to resist the decree at that time.

Jiang Zhengfu didn't know if he was also thinking about it, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he went to the outer study.

A short time later, a snow-white carrier pigeon was released from the study window by a pair of large hands and flew towards the north.

"Aunt Jiang, I don't know which family the Jiang family wants to marry?" Inside the carriage, Heng Yu asked casually.

Miss Jiang didn't seem to be keen on the matter.

Jiang took the scroll from her hand and put it into the sandalwood box on one side, which was full of scrolls: "It's not just the Jiang family, the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department that I went to yesterday...... There are also portraits of the two daughters of Cui Shilang's family the day before yesterday, but they are all here. ”

Heng Yu was stunned.

In other words, these portraits are actually the same place?

"Isn't it...... The saint wants to choose a concubine? ”

Although she hadn't heard the news before, she couldn't think of any other possibilities for a while when such a girl was left to choose.

"Why have you been so soulless these days...... What kind of concubine to choose? It's not because of that hot oracle! ”

"The oracle?"
