Chapter 18: The Guy Next Door Comes to Hire
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, the family went back to rest after eating, the old lady Wen looked at the clerk and stopped talking, and finally turned around silently and slipped away quickly like a rabbit, only Wen Yiqing's child wagged his tail and followed behind Wen Mianmian, wanting to eat that delicious snack.
Wen Mian and Wen Lingxiao, father and son, arrived in the study, and the sky outside became thicker.
Wen Lingxiao sat down and said with a smile: "I didn't expect my sister to like to be with my grandfather, but after my sister recovered from a serious illness, she has changed a lot." ”
"If it weren't for my sister noticing that my grandfather was wrong this time, and asked out softly, I am afraid that she would be quite passive."
Speaking of his daughter, Wen Mian was very proud, took a sip of the tea cup on the table, and said with a smile: "The abbot of Yuan'en Temple said at the time that Mianmian would have great blessings after waking up, and now it seems to be true." ”
"Speaking of which, why haven't you heard the bad luck of the person next door lately?"
Regarding this, Wen Lingxiao immediately added an aura to her sister, "Doesn't it mean that my sister is blessed now?" Maybe it's just to let the next door shine. ”
Wen Mian smiled, "That's right. ”
Her own daughter, that's definitely the best, the person who has been unlucky because he has a marriage contract with her daughter, is it not her daughter's credit?
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, fortunately, the emperor was not there at the moment, if he was afraid, he would really doubt whether the father and son still had the ability to protect the land of Dongshu.
Looking at his son, who didn't realize that he had a problem, Wen Mian took out the note he received today and handed it to Wen Lingxiao, Wen Lingxiao only glanced at it, and his face was very ugly.
The note only said that it was about the old lady in the house, and I knew what the details were, and I would meet in the backyard of Parkway Building at one watch tonight.
"Parkway is the property of the second prince."
Wen Lingxiao frowned slightly, got up and arched his hand, "This matter is my son's negligence." ”
The Shadow Guard, who investigated the news in the General's Mansion, has always been in his hands, and recently due to the complicated affairs in the army, there has been such a big mistake due to lack of energy.
When I thought that if I was stabbed in front of the emperor by the second prince, I couldn't help but gasp...
The fire and candles in the room were jumping uneasily, and the clerk raised his eyes and said coldly: "The border is turbulent, Nanqi has been frequently testing the border recently, and the affairs in the army are the first priority, and you will leave the matter of investigating the news to Wei Feng." ”
Wei Feng is a clerk who has been cultivated single-handedly, and his loyalty and ability are beyond doubt.
Wen Lingxiao knew the severity, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with this arrangement, so he said 'yes'.
Next, the father and son began to discuss the next opportunity, the night was thicker, and in a moment, the sound of the gong came from outside the house, accompanied by the long shouting of the husband: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle!" ”
The father and son in the room also gradually stopped with the shouting of the husband, and after about half a pillar of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study, and the person who came was Wei Feng in the mouth of the clerk just now.
Wei Feng was over thirty years old, with beautiful eyebrows and a slender figure, and he entered the door and arched his hand, "General Huiyu, the person waiting for the person in the Parkway Tower is Qin Gong, a strategist from the Second Prince's Mansion." ”
The corners of the paper's lips hooked slightly, "The strips were all given to him?" ”
Wei Feng nodded, "The humble position was personally delivered to him." ”
Wen Mian smiled, "Wei Feng, from now on you will fully take over the Shadows. ”
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with Wen Lingxiao's face, he hurriedly gave up his hands excitedly, "Humble and orderly." ”
The fire candle in the study of the General's Mansion was quickly extinguished, and at this moment, Hua Jingsheng in the Second Prince's Mansion was holding a blank note and was puzzled.
The strategist stepped forward cautiously, "Xu is the general who made an article on the paper in order to hide people's eyes and ears?" ”
Hua Jingsheng handed the note back to the strategist, and the strategist smoked and soaked it in smoke and water according to his previous experience, and the note was about to be scrapped under a toss, but there was still no word.
Hua Jingsheng's anger gradually grew, "What did you make a fuss, this is what it means to let this prince not waste his mind in vain, bastard." ”
The strategist hurriedly knelt down and smashed two things in succession, and the strategist's job was afraid that he would not be able to save it.
"Get down."
Hua Jingsheng looked at his back and crawled, his eyes were ruthless...
Early the next morning, the sun rose in the east, and it was another proud day for the porter of General Wensheng's mansion, and the mother-in-law next door came with a snack box.
This time there is no need to pass it on, in the jealous eyes of the concierge next door, Junko and Kaneko took the food box reservedly, turned around and sent it in, and hurried out to wait, now is not the time to fight with the eyes on the other side.
Today is the day when the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the King of Annam came to visit and appoint, and they cannot be ashamed as the face of the general's mansion.
On such a big day, the clerk took a day off and waited for his aunt to come to the door in the house.
"Girl, hurry up, my aunt will be here later."
Inside, Wen Mianmian slept without knowing what day it was, raised his eyelids with difficulty, and couldn't hold back and close them.
Lingguo looked anxious, and bent down to pull the quilt, "Girl, the snacks next door have been delivered, you hurry up." ”
Suddenly, the curtain of the door was opened, and Mrs. Wen, who was dressed in a certain grand manner, stepped in, "Ouch, why are Mianmian still asleep, hurry up and dress up." ”
According to Dongshu's rules, when discussing marriage, both men and women must come forward to take a look at each other in person, and the girl who is married on the day of the next appointment will go out and look at each other with her future uncle, which will also save some Li Daitao stiff things.
Mrs. Wen didn't know that Wen Mianmian had already met Hua Jingyun, and thought to herself that she would have to dress up well for the first time?
Wen Mianmian was dug out by the two girls of Lingguo and Lingcao, and said pitifully, "Mother, where do I need to make up, just put on clothes." ”
"People don't have time."
"Don't dress up before you have time? Hurry. Mrs. Wen began to command the few girls in the house to get busy, and half an hour later, a pretty and lovely Wen Mianmian stood under the sun.
Mrs. Wen walked around Wen Mianmian and was very satisfied, "Mianmian looks like your father, and looks like a gentle girl." ”
Laughing and smiling, her eyes turned red, and she pressed her eye circles, if her sister had a spirit in the sky, how happy she would be to see such a delicate appearance!
"Come, Mother will tell you the rules for meeting today..."
After saying a few words, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard, and there were many footsteps towards the front yard, and he was puzzled, Lingcao ran back happily, and when he came to the front, he curtsied, and said with a smile, "Madam, girl, the king of Annam is here with the adults of the Ministry of Rites, and the general and the eldest prince are entertaining in the front yard." ”
Suddenly, Mama Liu also came, and when she saw someone, she smiled and said: "It was Lord Pei of the Ministry of Rites who came in person, bringing seventy-two dowry gifts, the old slave saw that it was real, seventy-two dowry gifts were sufficient, and when they were brought in, the flat shoulders were bent, and the head was raised to be a jade Ruyi given by the emperor, which was full of water, and the meaning was also excellent." ”
