CHAPTER XXXVII
At the end of June, good news came from the north.
Wen Zhinan, the general of Zhenbei, personally led the troops and retreated the cavalry of Ge Li, the leader of Rongdi. Every year, Rong Di invaded the border and plundered, and many villages were always suffering, and even the number of casualties among the people was increasing.
This year, Wen Zhinan still guarded the front line and was in charge of the large army. His son Wen Youqi led a small team to ambush in various villages, and Rong Di was caught off guard. not only killed a lot of Rong Di, but also completely saved several villages.
Wen Zhinan's performance this time was not only to report the battle situation, but also to ask for credit for his son.
Emperor Kant was quite happy at first when he saw the twists, and Wen Zhinan's official position for his son was not big, so he wanted to just come down.
Yu Guang looked at Jiang Xufeng who was standing at the bottom, and Emperor Kant was stunned for a moment before he reacted, this Wen Zhinan is the prince's father-in-law.
Emperor Kant's heart sank, and he remembered the feeling of being coerced by the queen and the Song family at that time, and put the excerpt next to him.
Jiang Xufeng's position is closest to Emperor Kant, and he can't see anything clearly.
Thinking that Emperor Kant is really old and confused, General Wen's status among the generals is not low, and he guards the border every year and contributes to Dayong. asked for an official position for his son, but he was pushed by Emperor Kande, not to push people to his side.
Tsk, he still has to contribute to this matter, he hasn't seen this father-in-law yet, so let's make a good impression first.
Jiang Xufeng went down to the court, ignored King Ning's provocation that would not change a word for ten thousand years, turned around to find his uncle Lord Song, talked with Lord Song for a while, and then set off to return home.
Over there in Jiangnan, Han Er sent a letter back, and the matter of private salt was basically investigated, and the key account book that had dealings with King Ning's Mansion was not found, and I am afraid that King Ning will not be able to serve it this time.
After the adult of the Xiao family came, he concentrated on investigating the assassination case, and occasionally followed the joke, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Jiang Xufeng leaned against the wall of the car, his fingers tapping unconsciously.
The private salt case wants to bring down King Ning's faction, that is wishful thinking, King Ning is easy to deal with, and the Zhou family and the Zhao family are not vegetarians. As for the Xiao family, from this point of view, it is not completely on the side of King Ning.
When Jiang Xufeng came to Changchun Garden, Wen Jing was still reading his father's letter.
Wen Zhinan received a letter from the old lady a few days ago, and this time it really made the old lady angry. Jiang and Wen Qiong are really fighting, they have been locked up for so long, and seeing that the lord of Rong'an has married out, the Duchess of Qingguo has begun to look at the girls of each family for the son of the world.
Where can Jiang and Wen Qiong sit still, they immediately made a big fuss in the mansion, and Wen Qiong forced Wen Zhinan to refuse Wen Zhinan's family affair at the border pass.
said that even if she shaved her head to become a sister-in-law, she would not marry in a bitter cold place like the border pass, if her father and grandmother insisted on this, she could only prove her innocence by death.
Where did the old lady get so angry, she fell ill all of a sudden, and angrily sent a letter to Wen Zhinan.
Not only did Wen Zhinan angrily scold the Jiang family, but Wen Youqi also frowned all the time. He didn't understand the thoughts of those people in the capital, and the generals at the border were all born and died to earn fame.
He also deliberately turned over the eighteen generations of the general's ancestors for his sister, and now he is a little bitter, but the general has a good character, and he is also a talent, and his parents are alive and have a younger sister at home.
The interpersonal relationship in the family is simple, and the generals have a bright future, Wen Jing can't help but be very envious when he sees it.
Wen Zhinan complained, and hurriedly comforted his daughter, he would find a way to do this, and Wen Jing didn't have to worry about it.
Wen Jing sighed lightly, she knew Jiang and Wen Qiong too well. Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, if you are in a hurry, you may do something to ruin the reputation of a female family.
Jiang Xufeng had been quiet just now, and when he saw the princess sigh, he touched Wen Jing's forehead with the back of his hand.
Wen Jing suddenly laughed because of his actions, thought about it, and simply said everything: "The stepwife and the third sister somehow recognized the prince of Qingguo, and my father's favor for each other was also refused. ”
Jiang Xufeng thought that what was going on, it was worth the princess's sad face. The ultimate goal of his marriage with the Wen family was to get General Wen to support him, and he married the eldest daughter of the original partner because Wen Jing was the most favored by his father.
Except for Wen Zhinan, the remaining rooms of the Wen family have not yet been able to get their hands on. Not to mention the Jiang family, who has the same relationship with Wen Zhinan and secretly treats Wen Jing.
The only people in this family who can enter his eyes are his father-in-law, the crown princess and his brother-in-law.
Jiang Xufeng picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "Since such a marriage makes the crown princess so worried, it is not easy for the princess to fulfill the marriage of the prince of Qingguo." ”
Wen Jing raised her eyes, but she didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, she already had this intention: "It's the concubine who talks a lot, a little thing, and it annoys His Highness." ”
"You and I are husband and wife, the crown princess is always so polite to Lone." Jiang Xufeng didn't seem to be very happy.
Wen Jing hurriedly approached him and whispered a few words in Jiang Xufeng's ear.
Jiang Xufeng's face was still as usual, but his ears were red: "The sky is blue and the sky is white, and the crown princess is not ashamed." ”
It was the first time for Wen Jing to see Jiang Xufeng's appearance, and he couldn't help laughing, and Jiang Xufeng was a little annoyed and angry.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess's lunch was half an hour late, and today the breeze was gentle, and Wen Jing ordered the lunch to be placed in the garden pavilion.
Jiang Xufeng has no opinion, the lunch of enjoying the flowers and watching the scenery is new, and the food that he is used to eating on weekdays has a different taste.
For refreshments after the meal, flower cakes and flower tea were prepared in the dining room, and for a sweet tooth lover like Jiang Xufeng, Zhu Zhan was added to the menu of Guanlan Garden at that time.
When the two went back together, they ran into the garden path, and a steward scolded a few little girls who tended to the flowers and plants.
The steward's voice was very low, and he didn't expect to bump into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on this remote path, and he was immediately so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
The husband and wife were in a good mood, and it wasn't a big deal, so Holly stepped forward and said a few words to drive them away.
Wen Jing looked at the little girls who were more than ten years old, thin and small, so she took a few more looks.
It's just that until she goes to bed at night, she always feels that something is wrong. Jiang Xufeng went to bathe in the side room, Lan Yuan ran Niangniang's long hair at once, and looked at Niangniang staring at a place in a daze: "Niangniang, how are you?" ”
"Huh? I ......" Wen Jing came back to his senses, and for a moment a flash of inspiration suddenly realized that something was wrong.
A few days ago, listening to the report of the stewards, Mama Shi, who was in charge of personnel, said that the new people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been delivered, and this batch looked like they were all new to the palace, and they were all young.
What I met today must be the newly assigned little girl, but ...... These little girls were scolded by the steward so that their eyes were not red.
When they met her and Jiang Xufeng, the steward was nervous and stumbled, and compared with the steward, a few little girls were too calm.
Wen Jing thought about it for a while, what else could she plan in this mansion, the pregnant girl Lin in the Zhaoyue Pavilion?
Wen Jing rubbed his eyebrows, preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go. She called Zhuyun Zhuyue and told her about the matter: "First go and check the household registration taken by the Inner Servant Province, and then go and see what the same batch of people who came in with them said?" ”
