Chapter 12: The Trees Want to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop (2)
Inexplicably, these three words came into my mind.
Ah San smiled lowly, "There is nothing to regret, the only regret is that I have known you for too short a time, if it is earlier, I believe he will not be able to take advantage of it." β
"Is it because of the marijuana he bought from us?" I was puzzled.
"Hmm." Ah San nodded, "It's just one of them, or maybe," he smiled, "without this marijuana, he has other reasons to get dirty." β
You couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then couldn't help but laugh to yourself.
Ah San turned his head, "What are you laughing at?" β
I laughed...... Destiny! He stretched out his legs lazily and leaned back against the board.
"Fate?" Ah San was puzzled, "What do you say?" β
"Some people, some things, are destined to happen, even if they are reincarnated, it is still the same." Yu smiled leisurely, "No matter how deliberately you try to escape, it's useless. β
Ah San looked at Youran, "You look like this...... It's a bit like ...... "Chu Jinyu?"
At this time, the carriage suddenly jolted, and sat up leisurely and suddenly, "What's the matter?" β
The coachman reassured, "It's okay, it's okay, someone just threw a cabbage into the middle of the road." β
Ah San and Yu Youran's hearts were steady, and the two stopped talking.
After three days, the original thought that the government had not waited for the arrest, but on the contrary, I learned an important news, that is, the court has newly sealed a new acting Zhongshu Province Zuo Xiang.
I heard that as soon as this person took office, he acted vigorously and resolutely, and made drastic efforts to build the emperor to clean up the portal, eradicate the 'internal traitors', and return to his hometown when he was old, and newly included a group of 'capable generals'.
The situation in the imperial court is in turmoil, and the business in Yihong Courtyard has been gradually deserted in recent days.
Liu Wanniang sat on the chair and couldn't help but feel that the changes in the imperial court were the first time she had seen them in her life, the speed was so fast, the information was blocked, at least until now, she didn't know who the trusted agent Zuo Xiang was, it was full of puzzles.
Leisurely fold the freshly cut home clothes and let the little girl put them in the car outside.
Liu Wanniang looked at Lu Youran, "Are you going to go today?" β
He put away the makeup case and looked up, "Today should be the last time." β
"Ugh." Liu Wanniang shook her head, it was only a few days, but she seemed to have aged a lot, she couldn't help laughing at herself, "I think I, Liu Wanniang, am a little old, but I can't see through the development of the situation in front of me...... These people are all accused of returning to their hometowns, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous to think about it, I, Liu Wanniang, have also seen people in the market, and I have also caught up with the change of the imperial court, but I have never seen such a posture. Perhaps, it's getting old......" she sighed faintly, "how do you think it's going to evolve next?" β
"Mom said jokingly, how could we ordinary people guess the situation in the imperial court?"
Liu Wanniang raised her eyebrows, "Girl, there are no outsiders here, are you still hiding with me?" What do you know? Is that right? β
"IβWhat do I know?" β
"The new Left Minister, you ...... You know who it is, right? Liu Wanniang's eyes narrowed.
He clenched the box tightly with his hand, "How, how is it possible?" When the time came, I hurried to the palace of the Imperial Doctor. After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.
Dongli, who had just walked out, looked at the leisurely back and couldn't help asking, "Mom, what's wrong with Miss Bu?" β
Liu Wanniang didn't say anything, and got up and went upstairs.
β¦β¦
Today's Li Ziying looks a little different, wearing a series of plain clothes, without the same Yongrong and luxurious posture as in the past, her hair is only curled up like a folk woman, without any accessories.
Yu Youran put on a light makeup for her according to what she was wearing, "Madam, how about it?" β
She grabbed the hand that was about to hold the mirror and said with a smile, "I can trust your craftsmanship, don't look at it." β
She didn't withdraw her hand, and seeing her tired face, she must have worried a lot about the affairs of Lord Yushi these days.
"Did you receive Wanjin's invitation?" She glanced at the red invitation on the table.
He nodded leisurely.
"Alas, it is futile to set up a wedding banquet at this time, I am afraid that the two children will be sacrificed in vain." She smiled obscurely, "Before, I said that you are always busy with these things and have delayed lifelong events, but now you are really envious, with a breeze on your sleeves, you can come and go freely, and you have no worries." β
"Madame, will you go tomorrow too?"
She shook her head, "We will go back to Shaoyang tomorrow, the road is far away, I am afraid that we will leave after noon today, and we will not be able to participate, if you see Wanjin, bless him on my behalf." β
He nodded slowly.
"I still forgot one thing," she raised her head, "I asked my family about the smoke house that you dragged me to check for you ten days ago, and he said that this is the emperor's will, not only Ah San Yan House, but all smoke houses will be closed, and all will be in charge of the court in the future." β
"By the Imperial Court?" "They didn't close because they wanted to ban smoking, but they wanted to encroach? β
Li Ziying said soothingly, "Don't be angry, hasn't the court always been like this?" Blame the business of the tobacco house is too big, I heard my family say that half of this year's tax is contributed by the tobacco house, which shows how many people are red-eyed, even if it is not the imperial court, it may be that any one person will monopolize it, and if you want to open a little, there is nothing. β
"How can there be nothing, it's our ......" It took a lot of effort to get bigger little by little, and now it's said that it's closed, the key is that the court intervenes, and it doesn't cost a penny to snatch it away, isn't this a hooligan's behavior?
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, she did not offend the imperial court, on the contrary, but carefully maintained and won over step by step, whether it was the left faction of the queen mother or the right faction of the emperor, they were all comprehensive, and Ah San was more sleek and exquisite, how could she offend someone? There are also a lot of gifts to the dignitaries of the imperial court on weekdays, and it stands to reason that they should be taken care of, so how can they be stabbed in the back?
Unless......
Li Ziying raised her eyebrows, "Have you ever thought about how this qiΔ could be so coincidental?" Or maybe it was the idea of the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Left? β
Smiled leisurely, Zuo Xiang, Chu Jinyu!
If this is the case, then it makes sense, I just suspected it before, after all, according to the historical evolution that I knew leisurely, it would be at least seven or eight years before Chu Jinyu would sit in this position, but I didn't think that history would also change.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Ziying glanced at her, "Forget it, I heard that Zuo Xiang is not a good person, if he is even a little good, he will not let these generations of old ministers of the imperial court return to their hometown like lost dogs." She held her hand leisurely, "Although I don't have to worry about being single, the girl still plans for herself, this road will not be easy in the future, and she will definitely protect herself when the time comes." β
Nodding leisurely, when I went out, I saw a maid holding an umbrella and serving a woman from the main entrance, the maid felt very familiar, and when she looked closely, it was Xiaoqing, so the woman in front was the little sister of the Song family.
She is about to get married tomorrow, so she should stay in the mansion and not come out, so how can she come here?
He walked out leisurely.
The evolution of history has been moving in an unpredictable direction, from the beginning to the present, Chu Jinyu has stepped into the road of politics in advance, step by step, all of which are not expected by Youran.
β¦β¦
In the third year of the Qing Dynasty, on April 16, it is advisable to get married.
In the Li Mansion, the auditorium has been prepared in the morning, a pair of red candlesticks and dragons have a high fever, red cloth is the wall, and the gold plate is painted with a phoenix, and the joy is compelling. The guests in the house have arrived one after another, chatting enthusiastically. Li Wanjin was wearing a red wedding robe and waited outside the door for a long time, looking forward to the direction of the sedan chair.
With a long shout, the salute sounded, crackling, full of joy, pleasing sugar, and those who wanted red envelopes gathered over, the sedan chair was near, and with the support of the subordinates, Song Yiling slowly got off the sedan chair, took graceful steps, with a red cloth on her head, and crossed the high threshold with her left foot, and since then she has become the Li family.
Li Wanjin followed beside him, smiling from ear to ear, and looking at Song Yiling with straight eyes.
The good day has arrived, one worships the high hall, the second worships heaven and earth, and the third worships husband and wife.
Standing leisurely in the crowd, seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel obscure and sad, thinking of Dongli, who was unusually drunk last night, and there is a way to be affectionate and always hurt ruthlessly.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and decided not to look anymore, thinking about turning around and walking out.
Unexpectedly, the Li Mansion was too big and there were many people, which made her confused, and when she walked among the flowers, she accidentally saw two familiar figures, one was the county lord Zhao Yanhua, and the other was Song Yifan, the second son of the Song family.
She subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, thinking that maybe the two of them were just general friends, and a few simple greetings would be over, but she never knew that these two people had a deep relationship, and it was definitely not something that could be finished in three or two sentences.
"I like you, I'm not because you're the son of Lord Song Shangshu, it's just because you're Song Yifan!" Zhao Yanhua shouted heartbreakingly, "How many times do you want me to say it before you believe it?" I really like you! β
Song Yifan's facial features turned cold, "County Lord, you are not worthy of it, please take back your heart." β
"Ridiculous? It's ridiculous. The corners of Zhao Yanhua's eyes glistened with tears, "It's the first time in the world that I have heard that there is still a heart that can be taken back, Song Yifan, if you didn't have a heart for me at the beginning, why did you save me three times and twice when you didn't know your identity?" Why do you take care of me like this every time? If you don't care about me, why are you so reluctant when you hear I'm leaving? β
Song Yifan saw Zhao Yanhua's outstretched hand, and his body retreated slightly, "It's my fault, so that the county lord misunderstood." β
Zhao Yanhua shook his head, almost collapsed, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." What exactly are you afraid of? Is it identity? I don't want this county lord, it's just a name, I never wanted it, as long as you agree, you say you love me, I can leave with you at any time. β
"The county lord laughed, he is not worthy of it." Song Yifan retreated, and then retreated.
ββ¦β¦β
Bu leisurely half-squatted, his feet were sore, and he thought that these two people were good ink.
"Guess what's going to happen to the two of them?"
She was stunned, a hint of wind blew from her ears, which made her tremble inexplicably, she turned her head, and unexpectedly brushed the tip of her nose with the high nose, the cold touch made her mind clearer, and she retreated slightly in a panic.
"Shh Chu Jinyu raised her slender index finger and pressed it lightly between her lips, the corners of her mouth hooked, she blinked evilly, and lowered her voice, "Be careful to let people find out that you are eavesdropping." β
