It was said that the Rongguo Mansion had not done anything yet. Lin Luan, a female official sent by the Empress Dowager, rebelled in vain and told Chen Ruijin all about it. The Empress Dowager ordered her to treat Su Zheng's illness first and ask for her favor. What happened later?
Someone told her that she had left a token. Chen Ruijin took a look at the token and understood immediately: it was a bronze medal with auspicious clouds engraved on it. Behind the auspicious clouds was a phoenix head and tail, which coincided with the word "hidden phoenix". He nodded.
He said: "Thank you Miss Lin. Just don't worry about the Yunxi girl. I'll call Jia Cong." Lin Luan hurriedly bowed and thanked her.
Jia Cong was still in a daze, but when he suddenly heard that Su Zheng had asked the Empress Dowager to plot against him, he woke up with a fright: "She is looking for death!" He quickly put on his clothes and ran out.
Lin Luan was now much more generous than yesterday. He bowed down gracefully, said it again from the beginning, and bowed again at the end: "I beg you, Third Master, to save Sister Yunxi, and I will repay you with my death."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "You have helped me a lot, so I'll just say thank you. I'm going to Prince Yan's Mansion." He hurriedly changed out of his clothes, pulled his horse and left.
Not long after I saw Situ Pan, Situ Pan asked: "Why is it so early today?"
Jia Cong said "Ouch" and touched his stomach: "I'm so anxious, I haven't had breakfast yet."
Situ Pan asked curiously: "Have you ever forgotten to eat? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Please help me get a palace maid named Yunxi out of the palace. A palace maid or a female official? Someone from the side of the Empress Dowager." Situ Pan frowned. He continued, "Princess Jian'an went to see that old woman a few days ago.
She actually gave a female official as a dowry! Is she sick? Even though she is not her biological granddaughter, at least she has the title of a great-grandmother. Our family is planning to send this female official to become a monk. The female official...ahem...
I tried many tricks to no avail, but I was forced to tell the truth."
Situ Pan couldn't help but ask: "What did she say?"
"She... doesn't like men, she likes women." Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "She likes that sister Yunxi. Oops, I forgot to ask this Yunxi's last name. I don't think there are many people named Yunxi around the Empress Dowager.
Yes? My wife is holding it in the palace right now."
Situ Pan understood immediately. This female official was a mirror. The Empress Dowager sent her to Jia Huan, but she kept her lover in her arms. There was no need to worry about her favoring the Jia family, and she could also be made to obey orders honestly. If so,
The old woman installed important people in the Jia family, and many things became difficult to prevent. She sneered: "She only uses these methods."
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "A woman in a deep palace, do you still expect her to know anything else?"
Situ Pan smiled and ordered someone to send some over as soon as possible. Jia Cong said "Ouch". So he stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion and waited for others. He discussed things with Situ Pan, came up with some crooked ideas, and began to encourage him to go to America.
On the other side, Chen Ruijin led Lin Luan to Su's house and bought medicinal materials on the way. He only told Su Zheng that Lin Luan was a very capable female doctor and asked her to come to see a doctor. The old man didn't catch the cold occasionally, but because of the cold.
Someone had poisoned the tea with something inappropriate. Lin Luan personally boiled the antidote and brought it to him, telling Chen Ruijin: "Three doses of medicine will cure the problem."
Chen Ruijin said: "There won't be any roots left."
Lin Luan said softly: "If Mr. Su is not good, how can I get better?" Chen Ruijin thought the same thing. She also knew medicine, so she asked carefully. Lin Luan didn't hide any secrets and taught everything.
The two of them had just arranged for Su Zheng to say goodbye, and when they left the room, they saw Su Cheng hiding behind the Qiangwei shelf and gesticulating. Chen Ruijin waved to her, but she winked as if wiping her neck, and put her finger on her lips, "Shhh."
After a while, he pointed in the direction of the garden. Chen Ruijin understood and told the woman who was leading the way that he wanted to go back and hang out for a while. The woman was a discerning person and knew that this young lady had a good status, so she wanted to lead her there.
Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "You don't need to lead the way. I've been to your house many times. You can go and do other things." The woman was so happy that she stayed away and thanked her twice before leaving.
Chen Ruijin led Lin Luan to the Su Family Garden. After passing through a reed bamboo path, Chen Ruijin pointed to the front and said, "It's just past the Moon Cave Gate."
Lin Luan looked at her: "Why do Nezha and Miss Chen in Rongguo Mansion look like an old couple?"
Chen Ruijin smiled: "I've known him for many years."
"That day I guessed it was Miss Chen... My mind turned hundreds of times."
"Um?"
"Last year, Miss Liu once said that Miss Chen was favored." Lin Luan couldn't hide his envy, "That doesn't mean being favored, it's the only favor."
"No, we are in love." Chen Ruijin said, "Both two people can choose, and by chance they both choose each other, it is called falling in love." Lin Luan looked puzzled. Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "Jia Cong has many problems.
. He is lazy, he is impulsive, he is impatient, he is courageous, he is incompetent in martial arts, and he snores when he sleeps. But he is very good to me, so I put up with all these things."
Lin Luan didn't know whether to believe it for a moment, but Chen Ruijin didn't look like he was faking it. He was a little surprised and a little bit amused. After a while, he said: "I heard that Miss Chen was just an escort at first. I also thought that I could protect her even if I didn't.
Fight for that position."
Chen Ruijin blinked: "Fighting for status is not called falling in love. Miss Lin's talent and beauty can be found if you look hard for her."
Lin Luan murmured: "I can lend you some good words."
While they were talking, they had already stepped through the Moon Cave Gate and saw Su Cheng lying on the railing of the Jiuqu Bridge looking around. Chen Ruijin was about to call her, but she had already seen it and ran over like a rabbit: "Aunt Chen~~"
Chen Ruijin smiled unconsciously. She was originally called "Sister Chen", but a few days ago she suddenly changed it to "Aunt Chen". Su Cheng grabbed Chen Ruijin's arm: "Hurry up and call Master Cong to come and save me! I last time
I just realized that the person my grandfather promised me was not good! But I was so anxious! When he came two days ago, I said so many secret words but he didn’t understand!"
Chen Ruijin frowned: "Where did you get this randomly? How could your grandfather be so bad at judging people?"
Su Cheng shook her arm vigorously: "The people in their family said it themselves! They even said they came to show off in front of my grandfather."
"Don't be anxious, please explain clearly slowly." Chen Ruijin pulled her to sit next to the koi pond.
It turned out that Su Zheng had arranged a marriage for Su Cheng, and he was the direct grandson of the Minister of Taichang Temple, whose surname was Song. According to Su Cheng's three famous uncles, it would not be a problem to marry a dragon and a phoenix. However, Su Zheng knew that she had a naughty temperament.
Tricky, she would not feel comfortable being the mistress of the house, so she only chose a second son for her. The boy was described as elegant, gentle, and had good learning skills, so he was the most suitable for Su Cheng. Jia Huan also met him a few times in person and thought he was good.
, then the Second Master Song also agreed not to accept the younger ones. He was originally going to marry her last year, but Su Zheng was reluctant and stayed for one more year, preparing to leave the court this fall. Su Cheng once secretly took a look at this person, and he looked very good, quite like himself.
When listening to the play, I imagined a handsome and talented man, and I felt satisfied.
A few days ago, the Song family came to deliver Dragon Boat Festival gifts. The steward they sent said some good things about their second master and mentioned one thing. That day, the second master Song put on new clothes and went out to meet guests. His mother, Mrs. Song, asked him a question.
, and he went. After speaking, Mrs. Song pointed to a purse on his waist and said: "It's too plain." Mr. Song was not usually flashy, but after hearing this, he actually went back and changed into a bright purse. Everyone listened.
, all praised the second master for his filial piety.
Su Chengnai pouted and said: "I knew after hearing this that this Second Master Song is not good! It's not that he doesn't have preferences, but he is willing to change his preferences according to what his mother said. He is not the same as me. Aunt Chen, please let Cong go.
Uncle Master helped me break up this marriage!"
Chen Ruijin frowned when he heard this and remained silent for a long time. Lin Luan advised him from the side: "It's just a purse, it's a very small thing. Doesn't this just show that Mr. Song is filial?"
Su Cheng didn't even look at her, and tugged Chen Ruijin's arm again. Chen Ruijin said: "Pocket money is really a trivial matter. But...Cheng'er really can't marry him."
Su Cheng cheered: "I know Aunt Chen is good!"
Chen Ruijin said: "All over the world, mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law have been at odds since ancient times. Most of them are not for big things, but for trivial matters. Women stay at home, thinking about how to arrange the house, how to match clothes and purses, etc., and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have their own differences.
Habits and preferences. Although it is not a big deal, it is awkward if you don't follow your own wishes. When a daughter-in-law marries into her husband's family, everything must follow the rules of her husband's family, so she has to change her own habits. This is extremely uncomfortable, so it is inevitable.
He is not on good terms with the mother-in-law who heads the family. With Cheng'er's status, marrying into the Song family will not lead to hardship, and external affairs will just follow the rules of the Song family. That second master Song would not even obey his mother's advice on such a trivial matter.
I'm afraid that Mrs. Song will have some control over their little yard in the future. It's not a big deal, but it will be awkward."
Su Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Being awkward all year round will make you sick or become a pervert!"
Chen Ruijin thought: "How about letting him move out and try to be independent? If it doesn't work, there is no need to get married. I will discuss it with your uncle when I get back."
Su Cheng jumped up and said, "Long live Aunt Chen!"
Lin Luan looked at the two of them as if they were monsters, and after a while he said: "This... what is this? It's not even a thing."
Chen Ruijin smiled and rubbed the back of Su Cheng's neck: "I really didn't think carefully about this matter. Well, I will definitely look after you next time."
Su Cheng shouted again: "Long live Aunt Chen!" Chen Lin and Chen Lin then said goodbye and left the Su family.
Back at Lixiangyuan, Lin Luan still couldn't figure it out and said: "Miss Chen, is Miss Su's marriage... serious..."
"Seriously." Chen Ruijin nodded and said, "The second master of the Song family is really rare, but if you look for another one, you won't be able to find him."
Lin Luan said: "There is no way in this world that everything goes as you wish. Do you dare to ask Mr. Cong that everything goes as you wish?"
"Ruyi is weird!" Chen Ruijin said casually while eating tea, "How can a man have Ruyi outside? It's just that the three of them have spent more than ten years to get Cheng'er to have a casual temper. How can they be willing to do so?
Send her to someone else's home to be tortured."
Lin Luan was stunned and sighed: "Miss Su is so lucky."
While he was talking, a servant was shouting outside, "Master Cong is back." Lin Luan hurried out and saw a woman in palace clothes following Jia Cong. It was her close friend Liu Yunxi in the palace, so she stepped forward and bowed her head.
Tears greeted each other. When Jia Cong saw the two of them, he knew that he had not saved the wrong person, so he went inside, leaving her alone to talk about himself.
Lin Luan did not brag. After three doses of medicine, Su Zheng was fully recovered. In order to reward her for stepping back from the brink, the Rongguo Mansion sent people out to help them buy a small yard and a shop. She and Yun Xi stayed temporarily in Lixiangyuan.
How many days.
Chen Ruijin frowned when he heard that. Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "How about sending it to the outer courtyard?"
She shook her head: "No need. It's better to stay here with us until everything is settled, otherwise I'm afraid the Empress Dowager's people will retaliate. It's just that Liu Yunxi, I feel a little uncomfortable." Jia Cong ordered someone to stare at her secretly.
Because Jia Huan was getting married in front of them, they had no time to think about how to deal with the Empress Dowager, although Li Wan and Shi Xiangyun were busy. The day before the wedding, the King of Yan's special envoys proudly carried Princess Jian'an's dowry around the city.
For a week, it caused a sensation all over Beijing, and both idle and idle people followed to watch the fun. Finally, he was sent to the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng even remembered to explain the erotic pictures to Jia Huan! Unfortunately, the news was accidentally leaked to others, and it became an allusion.
She was teased by Jia Cong and others for nothing. Needless to say, Aunt Zhao often went to show off to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was unable to move in bed due to paralysis and could not cover her ears, so she could only vent her anger. Chen Ruijin went to tell Princess Jian'an,
She said that Aunt Zhao "is really stupid. But if she were not stupid, Brother Huan would not be born at all. Fortunately, she is very easy to deceive." Princess Jian'an understood.
Tomorrow is the official day, and the whole Rongguo Mansion is full of joy. Jia Cong walked around and checked around everything. Seeing that everything was ready, he returned to Lixiangyuan with peace of mind. When he stepped into the hall, he heard "crash" and "plop" several times, and he was frightened.
He jumped and jumped back two steps. He saw a woman lying on the ground, struggling to get up. There were large pieces of broken porcelain scattered around her. Jia Cong looked at the porcelain and felt a little funny. It was exactly
The Jingdezhen replica of the Ming Dynasty blue and white dinosaur ornaments that had been kept in Duobaoge since the early days of the Emperor's reign. Lin Luan hurriedly came from the side and helped the woman up: "Did you fall?" Jia Cong has never cared about fragrance and jade, but others are
Since he was the host, I had to walk over and ask twice.
The woman's face turned red with embarrassment, almost bursting into tears, and she muttered: "I...I made a mistake..."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's not worth anything." Then he called for people to come in and clean up.
The woman lowered her head and said, "It seems to be a gift from the emperor."
Jia Cong said: "It's okay, the Supreme Emperor has long since disappeared." The woman's head was lowered, and her body was leaning on Lin Luan's hand. Her posture was really beautiful. Jia Cong couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Turning his head, he saw Chen Ruijin standing by the screen looking at him with a half-smile. Jia Cong suddenly understood, cliché! Sure enough, the trick is not old, the beauty can use it to "grab the eye no matter how ruthless". The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.
He burst out laughing. Chen Ruijin also pursed his lips and smiled.
For a moment, Lin Luan looked for Jia Cong to apologize for her sister. Jia Cong listened to her for a long time before he suddenly realized: "It's that dinosaur ornament I'm talking about! Didn't I tell you that it's not worth anything? Just clean it up and let Bao Er go.
Sister-in-law, let’s find something else to display.”
Lin Luan said: "She feels extremely sorry. She wants to get married and comes to apologize to the third master. It's just that she is thin-skinned."
Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "It's better to say goodbye. Thin-skinned people are often sensitive and fragile. What if you accidentally fall in love with me?"
Lin Luan was silent for a moment, hesitating to speak, and finally lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "Miss Chen is really a good person."
Jia Cong said happily: "You think she is good too! My woman is good!"
Lin Luan raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Master Cong, what do you think of her?"
Jia Cong said smoothly: "I don't know if I have to point it out with my fingers. Some people can't tell her what's good about her, but no one can replace her." Lin Luan bit her lip, bowed and left.
To say that Jia Huan got married, it was hard work. It was finally time to go to the wedding tomorrow. Around the second watch, Jia Cong and Shi Li had just returned to Lixiangyuan and were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool and reminisce about the fun they had just made fun of Jia Huan. , someone knocked on the door knocker facing the street. When I asked, it turned out to be the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, so Zhao Cheng gathered in a circle.
Zhao Cheng smiled bitterly and bowed: "Master Cong, I'm really sorry." Then he pointed to a forty-year-old scribe next to him and said, "This is Mr. Feng from the prince's residence."
Looking at Mr. Feng again, his face was not pleasing to the eye. In contrast to Jia Xu who had the appearance of a loyal minister, this man had a hooked nose and droopy eyes, which gave him the appearance of a treacherous minister. He cupped his hands and said: "Master Cong! Mr. Zhao is now here It was found out that Princess Jian'an's dowry contained a large amount of stolen goods."
Zhao Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Have you found out, sir? It's just something fishy."
Jia Cong pursed his lips and looked back at Shi Li; Shi Li smiled and raised his right hand to make a "v" gesture. Jia Cong glared at him. (..)
