A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 5: Thank you

Views:

Tang'er was two years older than Lian'er, and her temperament was much more stable. She was wearing a light blue bi-armor.

She quickly pinched Lian'er.

Lian'er immediately stopped.

She just walked over, first pressed the post on the several cases next to it, and then came to Jiang Xuening and undressed her robe that smelled of alcohol: "Lian'er is scared to see that you haven't come back all night. I'm confused. The servant guessed that the little Marquis will go to the palace to listen to the day's lecture. You will be back in the morning at the latest, so let someone prepare hot water first. You should take a bath first, and then take a rest. The servant looked at you like last night. didn't sleep well."

This is a useful one.

Jiang Xuening glanced at Tanger.

This girl was also brought to her by Mrs. Meng. Although she has the ability, she can't stand her superior master, who is too bad-tempered and too indulgent to those subordinates who are flattering and flattering. .

"Then take a bath first."

She didn't want to talk too much at the moment. Seeing that Lian'er didn't cry anymore, she temporarily suppressed the idea of selling her.

As soon as everything that should be bathed was ready, Jiang Xuening loosened her robe, entered the tub, sat down slowly, and let the warm water slowly cover her smooth shoulders and slender neck.

At this time, it is easiest to leave the head empty.

She especially likes to think about things at such times.

I asked Tanger just now, and now it is the seventh day of September: she has not disguised herself as a man and followed Yan Lin to the Chongyang Lantern Festival, and she has not met the Eldest Princess Leyang who is out of the palace with Shen Jie. In other words, in this life The fact that Princess Leyang fell in love with her by accident can be avoided; looking at the previous situation in the inn, she has not started to approach Shen Jie on purpose, so as long as she does not fight, she will be summoned to the palace to read This matter can't fall on her; Yan Lin is still fighting swords and horses in Beijing, and Yongyi Hou's mansion has not yet been implicated in the case of King Pingnan conspiring against the Yu Party. Boy, say those hurtful words...

But things are not entirely optimistic.

Just one Yan Lin is enough to give a headache.

Seeing the young man who was about to be crowned, he almost completely handed over his youthful and warm feelings to a woman who was not worth it, took her out to play, protected her, and helped her settle for her outrageous willfulness and boldness. Ginger House.

In her last life, she hadn't figured it out.

But she has experienced a lot in this life, how can she still not see it

Jiang Boyu would certainly feel a little guilt and pity towards her ill-fated daughter, but the big family should be more or less disciplined, and no matter how much they dote on her, they won't let her disguise as a man and run outside.

But Jiang Mansion acquiesced.

There can only be one explanation for this -

That was her marriage, which had already been secretly decided. Rather than pampering her, it is because she is the second girl of the Jiang family, but it is better to say that she is the future Mrs. Hou Shizi.

But it is destined to fail.

Yongyi Hou's mansion will suffer in two months. Yan Lin, who was in the previous life, did not wait for the day when he could bring someone to his house to propose marriage. The day before the crowning ceremony, his house was raided.

Jiang Xue quietly leaned on the edge of the wooden barrel and blinked, thinking of the youthful Yanlin's high-spirited face and fiery eyes, and also of the resolute and deep outline of the young Yanlin when he returned to the court with his merits, unpredictable and unpredictable. His eyes, for a while, felt a little distracted.

It is true that there is a connection between Yongyi Houfu and the remnants of the Nanwang party.

It's just that there seems to be an inside story.

Otherwise, in the last life, Yan Lin returned to the court, and he had a lot of troops in his hands, so he would not have voted for Xie Wei and rebelled with him.

But what was the inside story, Jiang Xuening couldn't figure it out until he died.

Let's go and see.

No matter what happens next, she doesn't plan to stay in the capital anyway. It's just that she has already provoked Yan Lin in this life, so she must think of a safe way to get together with him, so that he won't go back to the palace and put her under house arrest and take revenge on her because of love and hatred.

Those days in the previous life were a nightmare.

It would be better if you could hide outside.

After all, in the previous life, a group of people in the capital fought fiercely, but the scope was controlled extremely well. No matter how many turmoils in the palace, it was only one-third of the land in the imperial city, and the whole world was still rich and well-being.

It's better to wait for them to finish fighting, and then go back to Beijing to live.

It's only seven years before and after the full count.

If she leaves the capital, she can still find You Fangyin, who has traveled all over the world to do business, why not do it

Jiang Xuening believes that she is at most a little clever to play with people's hearts. She dare not say that Anbang Dingguo has great wisdom, let alone Xie Wei, an imperial teacher in the skin of a saint.

Working with this guy, I don't know how if I'm not careful one day, I'll be killed.

In this game of chess, she couldn't afford it.

It is human nature to seek good luck and avoid evil.

Jiang Xuening thought about it almost, so he called Lian'er and Tang'er to wipe his clothes and put on a snow-blue embroidered skirt. The skirt was thinly pressed with dark white clouds and dark patterns, and a belt was attached. , is the graceful graceful grasp.

But when Tang'er folded her sleeves for her, she saw a two-inch scar on the inside of her left wrist.

He sighed lightly for a moment: "The Shuken Cream that I brought back a month ago is almost used up. Yours seems to be a little shallow. The slave will buy some for you in two days."

Jiang Xuening turned his wrist to take a look.

It's an old scar from four years ago.

From the inner middle of the wrist to the palm of the hand, pull it out diagonally, and the bottom is deep and the top is shallow. At a glance, you can tell that it was drawn with a dagger. It is used for bloodletting in a short time, about half a bowl can be placed.

She turned her wrist back again, but there was a bit of dim brilliance in the bottom of her eyes: I really don't know whether to say that God treats her favorably, or favors Xie Wei. Although she was given a chance to be reborn, she prefers to be reborn after returning to Beijing.

If reborn on the way back to Beijing...

She hasn't made this knife yet, and this life may be a lot easier.

It's just that what happened has already happened, and it's useless to think about it.

Since Jiang Xuening has already planned to leave Beijing to avoid disaster, money has become the top priority that needs to be considered. Naturally, it must be figured out first.

So she ordered: "Go and bring everything in the house, I'll order some more."

The two girls were stunned.

Her own girl's things have always been countless, and she is always fond of the new and dislikes the old. Sometimes she gets a copy of the case, divides the things, or the little prince sends some things, she always takes it once or twice and throws it away. no matter where they go.

Therefore, there are a few lard blinds in the house, headed by Wang Xing's family, who often take the girl's things.

No matter how dissatisfied they are, it is useless because the girl turns her eyes away and doesn't talk about them at all.

Now suddenly I want something...

Tanger and Lianer looked at each other.

Tanger is okay, she can hold her breath.

But Lian'er couldn't hold back, she excitedly clenched her small fist, and said quickly, "Yes, the servants will go now!"

In Jiang Xuening's impression, she has gained a lot in the past four years.

But when the two girls packed up and brought them up to take a look, there were only two boxes left.

Pearl and jade, gold and silver head and face.

Although the color is not bad when I turn it over, the quantity is really shabby.

She picked up a clear tourmaline bead string, laughed, and threw it back into the box, only to say, "Call everyone in for me, and don't miss a single one inside or out."

The two girls went down and called someone.

But it took a long time, seven or eight talents arrived one after another, and there was no one standing, scornful and lazy.

The maid and the old lady were all whispering, guessing what she wanted to do.

Jiang Xuening sat on the kang by the window, leaning on the autumn-scented brocade throw pillow, took a sip of tea from the cups on the table, and looked at these people calmly.

After a while, even Wang Xing's family arrived.

She was frightened to death by Jiang Xuening in the porch in the morning. As soon as Fang heard that Jiang Xuening called someone, he hurried over and smiled apologetically: "A lot of things are still waiting for everyone to do, and the girl suddenly called everyone. Is there something to explain?"

Jiang Xuening was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, only pointed to the two boxes on the table in front of them, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, just look at my box is empty. Give me how much you took in the past. Put it back."

Wang Xing's complexion suddenly changed.

Others were also taken aback.

There was no sound in the room, it was extremely quiet, everyone's eyes flickered, but no one spoke.

Jiang Xuening looked at it and smiled: "I didn't take it, did I?"

Wang Xing's family took the most, and even knew that there were not many people in this room clean, and it was too late for everyone to protect each other. He just felt that there was no major incident. Damn old slaves. Everyone is waiting for you in this mansion, big and small, every piece of it, they all put you first, who would dare to take your things?"

Jiang Xuening didn't listen to her, just turned to look at the others: "Do you think so too?"

The others looked at each other.

But who would dare to come forward and admit it

Moreover, the two girls knew that they didn't count their belongings. Even if they found out that they were missing, it would be of no use.

Anyone who stands up and admits it is stupid.

They can still understand this simple truth, and they also think that Jiang Xuening may have a seizure because there are too many things, but with her strong temperament, she can't cause anything.

So after she finished asking, no one answered.

There was also a melon-faced little girl who came out to agree with Wang Xing's family: "Girl really wants to come out as soon as you come out, and come to wrong us, the servants who have worked hard to serve you, without opening your mouth. It's just chilling!"

Jiang Xuening was not angry, and only said: "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she stepped on the foot on the edge of the kang and stood up, clapped her hands casually, and walked outside the house regardless of others.

Everyone was confused.

Wang Xing's family was so confused that she thought she was going to do some theory, but she left without thinking.

Her dangling heart should have fallen, but she felt a little uneasy for no reason: "What are you doing, girl?"

At this time, Jiang Xuening had gone out.

Wang Xing's family stood behind her, carefully discerned the direction, and suddenly his face changed greatly—

This direction is clearly to go to the master's study!

The scene just now, Jiang Xuening has seen clearly.

This group of maids and old women could not be used for a while.

Of course she has a way to toss with this group of people, but these little things in the house are really not worth her effort, and she has to fight with people like black-eyed chickens.

If you are in trouble, find your father.

Don't delay as soon as possible.

Mrs. Meng was not close to her, a concubine who was raised and behaved abnormally, but Jiang Boyu was not bad to her. Maybe because of Yan Lin, it could even be called connivance.

Punishing the maid and the old lady requires his words to be enough.

At most, it takes some words to explain why.

But this is what Jiang Xuening is good at, and he is not afraid.

Jiang Boyou's study is in the east corner of the front yard, hidden in the shade of a few old locust trees.

Jiang Xuening just walked in and was outside.

Next to the door stood a servant in green clothes, Chang Zhuo, who was waiting beside Jiang Boyu; there were four chairs lined up against the wall, and on the last chair sat a man wearing a brocade robe in Xuanqing. He was in uniform, with a token hanging on his waist, looking tall and steady, although his facial features were ordinary, there was a falcon-like light between his eyes, which revealed a deep calculation.

When Jiang Xuening saw him, he also saw Jiang Xuening.

Immediately, the person got up from the seat and bowed his hands to her calmly: "Hello, second girl."

Zhou Yinzhi.

In the last life, he was the commander of Jinyiweidu, and he was the chief official of the seal on the body of the guard.

But this man was a well-known "three surname servants" in the DPRK.

In the beginning, he was just the son of a servant in the Jiang family. He was implicated by Wanniang and was sent to the farm together with his family. When I grew up, I also helped with the strength work of Zhuangzi. I also learned a few words from the gentlemen in the school and read a few books by myself.

Jiang Xuening was going back to Beijing at that time, and there was no one to rely on.

He asked him to come back with the people from Beijing and send him to Beijing.

Zhou Yinzhi put forward a request: After arriving in Beijing, ask Jiang Xuening to talk to Jiang Bo for a few words, and let him do things with the adults.

Jiang Xuening agreed.

After arriving in the capital, Zhou Yinzhi worked for Jiang Boyu.

Jiang Boyu saw that he was doing things properly, and it was a good idea. Two years ago, he recommended him to Jinyiwei and found him a school commander. He also strives to live up to his expectations, and today he is a hundred households of Jinyiwei of the sixth grade.

If Jiang Xuening remembered correctly, in the last life, in a month, she would ask Zhou Yinzhi to find out Shen Jie's identity for her.

The condition put forward by Zhou Yinzhi was to introduce him to the little Hou Ye Yanlin.

As the saying goes, "gentlemen share the same path, and villains share the same interests".

Between her and Zhou Yinzhi, they "come together because of profit". One has needs and the other has needs. Naturally, they agreed.

Before the incident in Yongyi Hou's mansion, he seized the opportunity to climb up and became a "deputy thousand households" from the fifth grade.

Later, Jiang Xuening married Shen Jie, and Zhou Yinzhi naturally followed Shen Jie.

When Shen Jie ascended the throne, he also trusted him quite a bit.

In the end, he commanded the envoy to the capital and fought against the Dongchang, which was controlled by the eunuchs.

Unfortunately, it ended badly.

Xie Wei walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage to control the government and the court. The first thing he did was to order him to shoot him with random arrows. His head was nailed to the palace gate with three long iron nails, so that the civil and military hundreds of people who came in and out of the palace were nailed to the palace gate. Officers can see it.

Jiang Xuening had never seen it with his own eyes, but just listening to the rumors of the palace servants, he felt a chill in his heart.

Speaking of...

It was Jinyiwei who was responsible for the case of the Houfu of Yongyi implicated in the remnants of King Pingnan's rebellion against the party.

A thought suddenly passed, Jiang Xuening glanced at Zhou Yinzhi, did not return the salute, just nodded flatly, then turned to Chang Zhuo and said, "Is father in there?"

Chang Zhuo said, "It's inside, but there are guests."

Jiang Xuening frowned, recalling her pampering virtue when she was young, and then said: "I don't care. The maids in my house have turned their backs on the sky, stealing my things, and slamming together to bully me. You go in. Tell your father, I will just take a word and go clean them up!"

Chang Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, but he also knew the temperament of this second girl, so he daringly responded, and really lifted the curtain inside to go in to report.

Jiang Xuening sat down on the chair outside.

Zhou Yinzhi didn't sit anymore, he just stood aside and glanced at her occasionally.

However, when Chang Zhuo went in to report, Jiang Boyu was making tea for the guests himself.

He was born with a refined face, and he was not confused when he was young.

Hearing Chang Zhuo's ears saying that Jiang Xuening was looking for him, he frowned: "Nonsense!"

Chang Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting opposite Jiang Boyu. He felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his voice even more and said, "Second girl said that the maid in the house has dirty hands and feet..."

A little talk.

Jiang Boyu suddenly showed surprise when he heard this, and his eyes lit up: "Does she really say that?"

Chang Zhuo nodded.

Jiang Boyu immediately rubbed his palms and smiled: "This girl actually has a time when she is enlightened, I'm afraid she's so angry that she's dizzy? She's secretly not abiding by the rules in her room. Madam said it several times, I've thought about it for a long time. After cleaning up, Zhengchou can't find a chance! You go immediately and call me that house! Don't wait for Ning girl to come back to her senses, she will get angry, and it will be impossible to clean up! "

Chang Zhuo looked at his master's excitement, and couldn't help but feel more ashamed.

Jiang Boyu didn't know it yet, so he turned his head and said to the guest sitting across the table, "Ju An, I'm afraid I'll be waiting for you for a while. There's a bit of pickle in my house, so I'll come as soon as I cook."

The guest smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."
