The days were peaceful on the surface, Ye Jielu was in the Praetorian Guard camp during the day, and led people to run around the capital at night, Ming Lanying and Hebai sighed that his physical strength was really good.

Hebai didn't know what Ye Jielu was doing at night, thinking that it was a matter between the husband and wife, and he screamed twice, jokingly squeezing his eyebrows with Ming Lanying, so that Ming Lanying sometimes couldn't understand what she was thinking.

The secret letters on the case of Master Ming are getting thicker and thicker, and the dark forces that Prince Heng is hiding in the capital, the number of people who disappear is increasing every day, and they all die by accident or disappear inexplicably.

In just over half a month, a few thousand people have been lost, although it is not very important for 400,000 people, but in the long run, people still have to be wary. Mr. Ming had the heart to investigate, but he didn't even know how many murderers he was and what kind of person he was, and he couldn't find out where to start, but he never received a reply to the letter to Prince Heng.

He had to give an order to protect himself, but he was wiped out in a group to fight back, and he went out of the city in batches to be identified......

They are like chickens locked in cages waiting to be slaughtered, and they have tried their best to protect themselves, and in the end they are just fish on a knife and let others slaughter them.

He stroked his beard, his expression was gloomy, if it weren't for the fact that the time was not ripe now, and it would be easy to defeat the army rashly, he would not have endured it all the time.

I just can't figure out how the person who has been cautious for ten years was discovered, and only the emperor can have such a big deal, but he is not sure. In his opinion, if the emperor really found out, he would definitely deal with it directly, and now it is just an unknown force doing it.

He had suspected Ye Jielu, after all, he was the emperor's cronies, but in his opinion, Ye Jielu didn't have the ability to mobilize a bunch of people, and then let his people disappear without knowing it.

At the beginning, he and Prince Heng secretly colluded very secretly, and even the bookkeepers who did the accounts were killed, unless someone betrayed them internally.

The emperor has now found out the old accounts of corruption, but he has not taken action, and the longer the time drags on, the more uncertain it becomes.

But even if the problem of corrupt account books was exposed, he didn't panic, but the embezzled food and salary were spent in the budget of the capital, which was not a big deal, and it had no impact on the Ming family, but it would only damage some household officials.

Ming Lao pondered for a long time, and came to Ming Jiazhen, the grandfather and grandson discussed in the study for a long time, and the next day Ming Jiazhen personally took people to visit the Commander's Mansion, handed over the sticker and waited outside the house, and it was snowing, so that people had to invite people in.

Ming Lanying had a headache and held her forehead, she thought that she would never have anything to do with Ming Jiazhen in this life, but she didn't expect people to come to the door by themselves.

Ming Jiazhen drank a cup of tea in the front hall, and Ming Lanying came slowly, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, right?" ”

Ming Jiazhen was shocked at first sight when she saw Ming Lanying, she had never seen Ming Lanying, she was taken by her mother to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard since she was a child, and stood out from the crowd of children, and later was taught by her grandfather. This time she only came at the behest of her grandfather, but she didn't expect that there would be such a stunning person in the Ming family, jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she saluted Ming Lanying with a decent smile on her face.

"Soon, big sister, don't come unharmed, our sisters don't seem to have seen each other yet!"

Ming Lanying pretended to see her for the first time, and looked at her in surprise, "Which sister are you?" looks so good, much better than the third sister. ”

"Sister, I'm seventeenth, my girlfriend's name is Jiazhen, it's all a family, it's good for my eldest sister to call me seventeen." Ming Jiazhen covered her mouth and chuckled, with an elegant and feminine posture, which was much more connotative than Ming Lishu's arrogant, "The third sister is now Prince Heng and the princess, big sister, don't say this in front of others." ”

Ming Lanying nodded with a smile, her face was innocent, as if she didn't have any heart, "Sister Seventeen came to me today, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"My sister heard that Ming Dong, who was sent by his uncle before, forcibly came to invite my sister back to Ming Mansion, which must have made my sister unhappy."

Ming Jiazhen's eyes flowed between raising her eyes, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be unintentionally revealing a trace of charm, obviously not yet in her prime, that smile made Ming Lanying always feel that she had a hint of seductive charm, but she also had an excellent upbringing of the family, and the restraint to the point was as if it were natural.

The girls in the flower building don't have such profound skills, no wonder the sons and brothers in the capital are willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.

Then I heard Ming Jiazhen continue: "Grandfather wants Ming Cheng to invite you back to catch up on the old days, it must be because he is not thoughtful and makes the eldest sister unhappy, and my grandfather asked me to make amends with the eldest sister." Grandfather hasn't seen his big sister for a long time, and he wants to know if his big sister has been doing well over the years, has he been wronged? ”

Ming Jiazhen smiled, tilted her head just right, and her delicately painted eyebrows and eyes suddenly became delicate and cute, which made people unguarded.

"Grandfather should have come in person, but his identity was inconvenient, so he had to let me come for a trip, it would be best to ask the eldest sister to go back, if not, I should ask the eldest sister how well she has been doing over the years, but where you need the help of the Ming family, the eldest sister must say it."

Ming Lanying secretly praised in her heart, this is probably the best girl in the Ming family for so many years, with brains, appearance, and seductive temperament.

By drinking tea to suppress the irritability in her heart, Ming Jiazhen's words seem reasonable, in fact, if she doesn't go, there will definitely be bad words about her in the capital tomorrow, if she goes, Ming Lao Thief will definitely pick up her old bottom in three or two sentences, and she won't know how to die when she dies.

Ming Lanying gently put down the teacup, exhaled, and looked at Ming Jiazhen with a smile, "What if I have a reason why I can't go?" ”

Ming Jiazhen was surprised, "How come?" ”

Ming Lanying hooked her lips and smiled, "It's not a secret, my current identity is embarrassing, I am already married to Ye Juelu, so I can only be regarded as half of the Ming family, and Ye Jielu and my grandfather have always been incompatible, what am I in the middle?" If I go in and out of the Ming Mansion and am seen by someone with a heart, I will be in the emperor's place, no matter who I am participating in, it will not be okay after all? ”

Ming Jiazhen smiled with three points of innocence, "Big sister thinks too much, how can it be?" With a grandfather here, who dares to talk too much? ”

Before Ming Lanying could refuse, she heard Ming Jiazhen say empathetically: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the eldest sister doesn't go back, grandfather just wants to know if the eldest sister has been doing well over the years, I heard that the emperor gave the eldest sister an errand some time ago, but it will make the eldest sister embarrassed?" I don't know if I want my grandfather to help? ”

Ming Lanying looked at Ming Jiazhen quietly, and suddenly smiled, "What is the seventeenth sister talking about, I am an ignorant woman, what big errand can the emperor give me, it is just to copy a few books, there is no such thing for a long time, where will there be difficulties?" Seventeenth sister, don't worry, haven't I lived like this all these years, Ye Jielu will not bully me in the face of my grandfather, and Grandma Feng and Gao De also came to visit me last year! Grandfather should know about it, right? ”

She didn't jump any of the pits that Ming Jiazhen dug, she just didn't go back to the Ming family, she just didn't tell you the errand given by the emperor, anyway, she is now Ye Juelu's person, and the Ming family dared to move her because her hand was too long.

Ming Jiazhen was stunned, the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff, and she couldn't remember what else to ask for a while, Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "How old is Sister Seventeen this year?" Can you get married? Do you need me to look after two families for my sister? Let me tell you, women, it's better to get married early, it's easy to have a child too late, and it's not good for your reputation, the girls of good families have decided to marry early, only those who are bad are still uncared for, and those who are waiting for the old pearl are making do at will, that is ruining a lifetime! I've come across a lot of these in the side! ”

Ming Jiazhen almost couldn't hold back her smile, thinking that she was crazy, these vulgar words, does she hate to marry?!

"Big sister, don't make fun of me, sister, I'm only fourteen years old this year, and I'm still young......"

Ming Lanying sighed, "Where is it small, it will be in time next year, right?" Change the first set of kisses, do you have a good eye? Why didn't the third aunt pay attention? ”

Ming Jiazhen's hateful teeth itched, but she couldn't show the slightest sign of anger, so she smiled awkwardly and changed the topic, "Okay, big sister, don't talk about this, my mother is free to arrange it." In two days, my good sister will hold a small snow banquet in the plum garden on the outskirts of the city, and I will take my eldest sister to meet the sisters in the capital, right? ”

"Big sister has been back to Beijing for so long, and I haven't seen anyone to interact with, presumably I am not familiar with the interpersonal contacts in the capital, I will pick you up in two days, okay? Treading the snow to find plum blossoms and making tea around the stove is just right for getting closer. ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, this Ming Jiazhen's quality is much stronger than Ming Lishu's, this has not collapsed, and she wants to drag her to be embarrassed in front of the daughters of those dignitaries and nobles in the capital.

She said those words to deliberately disgust her, and said it euphemistically, thinking about her in her previous life, she was dedicated to her career, and those who competed with her couldn't beat her in terms of strength, performance, and connections, so she could only attack her older leftover girl, and her ears were calloused after listening to it too much.

"Forget it, what do I say to you little girls as a married woman? Seventeenth sister don't just think about playing, and look forward to others as soon as possible. ”

Ming Jiazhen took a deep breath, with a delicate smile on her face, the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, "It's not too early, it's not good for me to delay my eldest sister for so long, so I'll leave first, and I'll pick up my eldest sister in two days." ”

Ming Lanying sighed in her heart, she hasn't agreed yet, this has been directly decided, this is still a strong buy and sell?

Ming Jiazhen got up elegantly, Ming Lanying sat still, glanced at the sky outside, and said with a smile: "It's not early, the seventeenth sister is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and it is not good to stay for a long time, then I will not leave you to eat, Wang is in charge, send off the guests." ”

Ming Jiazhen looked at her and was stunned, she had never seen such a rude person!

Steward Wang came out of nowhere, bowed his hand to Ming Jiazhen, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Miss Ming, please." ”

"Seventeenth sister walks slowly."

Ming Jiazhen tugged at the corners of her mouth, "See you in two days, big sister." ”

Ming Lanying propped her chin and watched Ming Jiazhen's figure disappearing into the shadow wall, this was the most polite time for the Commander's Mansion to send off guests.

Thinking about it, she smiled, Ming Jiazhen wanted to take her to embarrass her, but she still couldn't go, she didn't agree.

In the evening, Ye Jielu rarely went out, and the family chatted and ate a small snack in the warm pavilion, a rare reunion.

Hebai hung upside down on the beam of the house and looked left and right at Ye Jielu and Ming Lan Ying, Ning Er was holding the wolf cub and was trying to teach the wolf cub to read, and Ming Lan Ying was happily teasing Xiao San. Xiao San faintly has signs of the beginning of his wisdom, that is, his temperament is still cold and arrogant, except for Ming Lanying who can touch it all the time, and it is a gift that others can touch it.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what has been going on in the market for the past two days?"

Ming Lanying snorted, Hebai swayed slowly, and her long hair swayed one after another, "Saying that the Dong family is unlucky, Song Shanshan just married into the Dong Mansion, and the next day she made a big noise that the Dong Mansion was kidnapped, and the little son of the Dong Mansion insulted her innocence." After a few days of trouble, to the point where everyone knew about it, Mrs. Dong directly sent two powerful mothers-in-law, pressed her to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, did not give her food and drink, and came out again after three days, and the person was much more obedient, but this was just a trivial matter. ”

"It's just a trifle?"

Song Shanshan made a big fuss after marriage in Ming Lanying's expectations, but she didn't expect her to make a fuss to everyone, Dong Mansion is also a family with a head and face in the capital, making such a joke, Mrs. Dong is not a vegetarian, she knelt in the ancestral hall for three days, and always felt that it should be more than that.

Hebai hung on the beam of the house and staggered, and was torn off by Ye Juelu, so he sat cross-legged on the ground at the feet of Ming Lanying, "The big thing is behind!" A few days ago, one of Dong Xiaogongzi's concubines was six months pregnant, and she killed the child. ”

Ming Lanying was surprised, and Hebai shook her head, "I heard that Song Shanshan deliberately found fault and pushed the concubine's room, and the child was gone, Mrs. Dong was furious, slapped Song Shanshan twenty times, locked her in the ancestral hall and knelt, cut off food for seven days, and only gave water. Song Shanshan was clamoring to reconcile, Mrs. Dong said that she wanted to give a letter of resignation, Dong Xiaogongzi knelt down and begged Mrs. Dong to leave Song Shanshan, Song Shanshan left, he didn't live anymore, I have to say that Dong Xiaogongzi really likes Song Shanshan, this is all protected. ”

"Is this true?"

"Of course, the maids of the Dong Mansion are not far from ten."

Ming Lanying was shocked when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Ye Jielu, Ye Jielu reached out and gently held her slightly open, "It's all irrelevant." ”

Ming Lanying brushed away his hand, "With Dong Xiaogongzi desperately protecting him, Song Shanshan is estimated to be unable to escape from the Dong family." ”

Hebai nodded, "This is the end of robbing my brother with my sister-in-law!" ”

Ming Lanying raised her foot and kicked her, "What nonsense is nonsense, whether she robs Ye Jielu or not, what does it matter to me, this is the end of her harm to me." ”

Hebai tilted his body, "Sister-in-law, you don't care about my brother's words, why don't you go back to the side now?" Staying here with my brother, isn't this love! ”

"Hey, little girl, you have to worry about your sister-in-law and my affairs." Ming Lanying rolled up her sleeves and pulled Hebai's little face.

"Hmm! Elder brother...... Save the ......"

Ye Jielu looked away and met Ning Er's inquiring eyes, father and son telepathically, Ye Juelu nodded, and admitted to Ning Er that Ming Lanying loved him, Ning Er smiled at ease.

Ye Jielu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, making Ning'er think that her father and mother were in love, so she would not let Ming Lanying have the idea of leaving him so easily.
