Murong nodded resolutely: "I have also heard about it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but no matter how capable she is, she is still just a woman. ”

Tan Xingji heard Murong's decision to reject the patriarchal words, and did not argue, and continued: "Although Zhuge Chasing Cloud likes Zhuge Qingyi, his idea of reviving his Falling Bird Forest is still very urgent. So I found another wife, hoping to give birth to a boy. But the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and she gave birth to a girl. Therefore, Zhuge Chasing Yun doubled down on the second room of Mrs. Chen. Even though the main room has been vacant for many years, Chen has not been straightened. Not only that, but I heard that this Zhuge Chaiyun basically stopped visiting Mrs. Chen later. However, this Mrs. Chen is also a beautiful lady and knows how to be reasonable. Zhuge Qinglin has followed her mother since she was a child, reading, writing, playing the piano, and painting. Zhuge Chaiyun occasionally looked at this little daughter, although she didn't love her very much, but after all, she was her own flesh and blood, and secretly invited many famous teachers to cultivate her. Later, Zhuge Qinglin's appearance and reputation also resounded all over Liangchuan, and countless famous families came to propose marriage, but Zhuge Chai Yun politely declined because he was too young. Later, everyone knew that Zhuge Chaiyun intended to send these two daughters into the palace gate and be a prince's side concubine. ”

Murong Resolute listened to Tan Xingji's narration of Zhuge Qinglin's past, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: In terms of friendship, Murong Resolute had already worshipped Helian Qingtian, Zhuge Chasing Yun, Shangguan Taiye, and Nangong Bodhisattva when he was a teenager, and he was like a brother in life and death. But since Murong resolutely co-opted the other three to kill Helian Qingtian and defect to the Qing court, there was no friendship between the brothers. Although the four evils of the Qing court were led by Murong Resolute, and their names in the rivers and lakes were very famous, they all knew it and had their own grievances. Except for official business, there is little contact and movement. Especially in the past ten years, the four of them have returned to their hometowns and built their own villas. The world is south and north, and the four families come and go even less. Last time, if it weren't for Murong Jielie asking the other three families for help under the banner of the palace gate, and the other three families also wanted to use this to revive the family, they would definitely not help. Since Zhuge Chaiyun wants to marry his second daughter Zhuge Qinglin into the palace, he is afraid that it will be difficult to fulfill his wish.

Tan Xingji stared at Murong Decisive with good eyes, and then asked softly, "What does the owner think?"

Murong resolutely pondered for a long time, twisted his beard and said, "Although I have been friends with Zhuge Chaiyun for many years, I know him well. If Zhuge Chaiyun wants to marry Qinglin to the royal family, I'm afraid I can't do anything. Let's talk about it. ”

Tan Xingji shook his head and said with a sigh: "Then I can only sigh for the second son." ”

Murong's resolute eyebrows stood and he said, "I hope that Mr. will heal as much as possible." ”

Tan Xingji nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "That's, that's." ”

Late at night, Murong decided to sit at the table in his study, staring at the wax lamp on the table, speechless for a long time. In the end, Murong resolutely gritted his teeth, and his face looked extremely hideous.

In September, a group of women wearing hats and black veils came to Yangzhou City. They hurried into the gate of the East City, and then came to the Jade Phoenix Terrace. Zhao Yushan of the Jade Phoenix Terrace took them in, and then repaired a book and handed it to a personal servant beside him. The servant didn't ask anything, turned around and rode a fast horse straight to the Chu Mansion outside Xiguan in Yangzhou.

When he arrived at the palm lamp, Chu Jinglian walked into the small building in the backyard of the Jade Emperor Terrace. Chu Jinglian walked up to the second floor and saw that the second floor was full of young girls. They had taken off their hats and veils. These girls were about twenty or thirty years old, and their clothes were of different colors, and although their faces were not powdered, they were all beautiful and refined.

When everyone saw Chu Jing even going upstairs, they all looked at Zhao Yushan. Zhao Yushan nodded, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Meet the pavilion master." ”

Chu Jinglian looked at everyone, nodded, and said, "Where is Master Mei?"

When everyone heard this, they burst into tears.

One of the women in a light blue dress sobbed and said, "Back to the Pavilion Master, Phoenix Villa was discovered by the dog thief Da Wei Demon, and the old ancestor insisted on breaking it off in order to let me get out. At this moment, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. The slave begged the pavilion master to send someone to rescue the old ancestor and her old man immediately. ”

Chu Jing couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing this, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Yushan.

Zhao Yushan nodded.

Chu Jinglian frowned, and his face was solemn: "I'll send someone to find out the whereabouts of the owner of Mei Zhuang." As soon as the investigation is clear, I will go and meet her personally. What's your name?"

The blue-shirted woman kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master." The little girl's name is Menglan. ”

Chu Jinglian turned his head to Zhao Yushan and said, "You are also from Phoenix Villa, and you are like brothers and sisters with these sisters, and you will arrange for me to have a good life." Open all the eyeliners and spies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and be sure to find out the whereabouts of the owner of Mei Zhuang and Dawei Demon as soon as possible. Don't tell Mei Yunsheng yet, I'm worried that if he is in a hurry, something will happen. If the owner of Mei Zhuang really encounters an accident, without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly and seek revenge from the demon without permission. This demon's martial arts are too high, and it is difficult to kill him. So you have to find a foolproof solution. ”

Zhao Yushan nodded yes, and then took a group of sisters down to arrange accommodation. The small building regained its tranquility.

Chu Jinglian walked slowly to the window. The moonlight outside the window dissolves, and the night is blurred. Chu Jinglian looked at the black night sky and muttered to himself, "Mei Zigui, I don't know if you can escape this catastrophe... Liu Jingxuan, what are you doing?"

Liu Jingxuan has been very busy recently, in addition to reporting official duties to the governor Ah Shan, the governor Song Ju, and Zhang Pengxi, he also organized the people to repair the river washed away by the flood outside the city of Yangzhou, and dug four canals that opened to water. He also recently received a confidential letter from Beijing, which was not signed or sealed. But from the pen style of the secret letter, it can be seen that this letter is from the hand of the current fourth prince Yinzhen. The first half of the secret letter praised Liu Jingxuan's outstanding achievements in a short period of time when he took office as the prefect of Yangzhou, and the second half hinted that Liu Jingxuan would be able to secretly play some major events in Yangzhou and even anecdotes of Jiangsu officials in the future. Liu Jingxuan took this secret letter and pondered it for a long time, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he called someone to ask Xiao Rang.

After a while, Xiao Rang came to the back hall, gave Liu Jingxuan a salute first, and then sat down.

Liu Jingxuan handed the secret letter to Xiao Rang and did not speak.

Xiao Rang took the secret letter and skimmed it to know the deep meaning. Xiao Rang respectfully handed the secret letter back to Liu Jingxuan.

Liu Jingxuan gently took off the lampshade of the oil lamp on the table, lit the oil lamp with a fire fold, slowly put the secret letter on the flame and burned it, and then threw it into the brazier next to him until it turned into a cloud of fly ash. Then he asked, "What does the gentleman think of this letter?"
