Chapter 210; First acquaintance
The county lord of Qingyang was silent, of course she was very clear about the situation of the Dong family.
It looks like it's not bad, but it's starting to show that the power of inheritance is insufficient.
As the Shi clan became more and more powerful, the Dong family's original status in Shilin had gradually declined, and even began to be marginalized in the imperial court.
If this goes on for a long time, even if the Dong family will not decline in this generation, I am afraid that it will slowly disappear in the long river in the future.
The Dong family has been inherited for thousands of years, and when it comes to this point, Dong Wenjin has always been very worried.
She seemed to understand Dong Wenjin's plan a little.
The position of the crown princess can indeed greatly alleviate the situation of the Dong family, and even forcibly continue their lives.
"Hey, that's it, but you better come with me to meet my little sister."
"Not for anything else, I just hope that the two of you can get acquainted, so that maybe she can help you in the future."
Dong Wenjin was still quite moved to see the Lord of Zhaode, but he thought that he would be a member of the East Palace in the future.
It was the person who stood on the opposite side of her, and she was really hard to meet.
"Don't think about it, you're you, he's him, my little sister won't be confused."
couldn't stand the invitation of the county lord of Qingyang, and she really wanted to see her, so Dong Wenjin finally agreed.
Hot Spring Villa, Huo Junyao has already heard the news from Red Sleeves that the crown princess has been replaced.
She didn't say much, just expressed sympathy for the crown princess.
A thing like the prince is not a good match.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here."
"My sister is here? Come in, please. ”
Huo Junyao also got up to greet her as she spoke, and as soon as she went out of the door, she saw the eldest sister pulling a young and beautiful girl she didn't know and walking quickly.
"Little sister."
The county lord of Qingyang smiled and beckoned.
Huo Junyao walked over to salute, and then looked at Dong Wenjin.
"Little sister, let me introduce you, this is my sister's good sister who has known her since childhood, her name is Dong Wenjin, she is two or three years older than you, you have to call your sister."
"I've seen Sister Dong."
As soon as she saluted, Dong Wenjin hurriedly avoided it, waved his hand quickly and said; "But you can't afford to be the county lord, you can torture me."
Just kidding, she is just a white-bodied official woman, how can she be worthy of the gift of this county lord with the same prince.
"The folk girl has seen the lord of Zhaode."
"Hey, you two, don't be polite here, you are your own sisters, you don't need these false courtesies."
Huo Junyao, who was on the side, also smiled and nodded again and again when she heard the eldest sister's words.
She didn't like this ancient etiquette very much, there were too many rules.
However, although she smiled, she looked at Dong Wenjin's eyes with doubts.
Dong Wenjin's name, she felt inexplicably familiar, but she was sure that she hadn't seen this person, how could it be?
Just when she was puzzled, Xiaochan on the side lowered her voice and said a few words.
She immediately realized that this was the unlucky guy.
For a while, she looked at Dong Wenjin with sympathy in her eyes.
Several people entered the living room, and the county lord of Qingyang did not hide it, and directly told Dong Wenjin about the situation.
Huo Junyao asked with some confusion; "Sister, do you need my help to do something?"
She didn't think that the eldest sister brought Dong Wenjin to the door at this time just to see her.
And she also knew in her heart that if she could bring her eldest sister over, the friendship between the two of them would definitely not be bad.
If you really need his help, it's not impossible to think about it.
However, the county lord of Qingyang had not yet spoken, and Dong Wenjin on the side said with a smile; "There's nothing I need the county lord's help with, it's just that I've always admired the county lord's name, and I often ask Sister Qingyang to bring me over to visit.
Hearing this, Huo Junyao responded politely, and turned her head to look at the county lord of Qingyang, she still felt that there must be something wrong.
"Wen Jin is right, we just came to see you."
When she said this, Huo Junyao saw the bitterness on her face.
However, since people don't mean that, she won't look for trouble for herself.
Afterwards, a few people just chatted and didn't mention anything.
Until the county lord of Qingyang and the others left, they didn't say what they wanted her to help do.
"Miss, the eldest lady suddenly brought Miss Dong to the door today, there must be something here, but why didn't they say it?"
Xiaochan was a little puzzled.
"You can see that, too."
Hearing this, Xiaochan wrinkled her nose and said; "Miss, what do you mean? Xiaochan is also very smart, okay. ”
"Yes, yes, you're smart and powerful."
Huo Junyao smiled and turned around and returned to his small courtyard, thinking about it in his heart at the same time.
What the hell is going on?
However, more than an hour later, she received a letter from the county lord of Qingyang.
In the letter, the county lord of Qingyang gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Dong family, and explained that her original intention was to hope that she could help go to the palace to talk about it and see if she could cancel the marriage contract, she very much did not want to see Dong Wenjin enter the fire pit.
But Dong Wenjin himself chose to agree because of some considerations, and he didn't want to trouble her.
She had no choice but not to mention it, but she hoped that in the future, when her little sister competed with the East Palace, she would give her some face and not be too embarrassed by Dong Wenjin.
Now Huo Junyao figured it out, and he hated and admired Dong Wenjin.
The former naturally thinks she is stupid, but she can also understand some of Dong Wenjin's thoughts and is willing to sacrifice herself for her family, although she is stupid, but this heart is still worthy of admiration.
As for helping, she also thought about it, this thing is not easy to do, even if Emperor Zhaowu will give her this face, but it is not easy to succeed.
will even make her relationship with Emperor Zhaowu even more stiff because of this incident.
To be honest, it was a bit of a big price to pay, and she really wasn't going to help.
After all, although Dong Wenjin has a good relationship with her eldest sister, and she is willing to release kindness, she still can't do it if she wants her to help so recklessly.
However, she agreed to the eldest sister's proposal in her heart.
Dong Wenjin gave her a good sense today, as long as she didn't mess around with the prince, didn't target her, and even said that it was not impossible to give her some face.
Time flies quickly, Huo Junyao is relatively leisurely during this time, and the people on King Qin's side have also learned the techniques of brick kilns, and have been arranged by King Qin to go back, I believe that it won't be long before a new workshop will be built on King Qin's fief.
In the future, the days of sitting and collecting money are coming soon, Meizizi.
And the capital is very lively during this time, as the prince's wedding is approaching, some officials from all over the country have gone to Beijing one after another.
The prince's wedding, this is a national event, and they naturally have to come over to congratulate one or two.
And on this day, Huo Junyao also received a message from her mother, asking her to go to Beijing as well, and she still needs to be present for the prince's wedding.
