Chapter 5: Xie Wei

Tang'er was two years older than Lian'er, and her temperament was much more stable. She was wearing a light blue bijia, and when she was dragged in by Lian'er, she was still holding a post in her hand. At this moment, she could see that Jiang Xuening's expression was wrong.

She hastily pinched Lian Er.

Lian'er immediately stopped talking.

She just walked over, first pressed the post on the next table, then came to Jiang Xuening's side, and untied her wine-stained robe: "Lian'er saw that you didn't come back all night, I'm so scared." Confused. The servant guessed that the young master would go to the palace to listen to the daily lecture, and you would be back in the morning at the latest, so someone prepared hot water first, and you should take a bath first, and then take a rest. The servant looked at you like you last night. Didn't sleep well."

This is a useful one.

Jiang Xuening sized Tang'er up.

This girl was also put by Meng's side. Although she has skills, she can't stand her as a boss who has a bad temper and is too indulgent to those servants who flatter and flatter her. up.

"Then let's take a bath first."

She didn't want to say too much right now, seeing that Lian'er was no longer crying, she temporarily suppressed the thought of selling her out.

As soon as everything was ready for bathing, Jiang Xuening took off her robe, got into the tub, and sat down slowly, letting the warm water slowly flow over her smooth shoulders and slender neck.

At this time, it is easiest to keep your head empty.

But she especially likes to think about things at this time.

I asked Tang'er just now, and it is now the seventh day of September: she has not yet disguised herself as a man to go to the Chongyang Lantern Festival with Yan Lin, nor has she met Princess Leyang who went out to play with Shen Jie. The fact that Princess Leyang fell in love with her by mistake can be avoided; judging from the previous situation in the inn, she has not started to deliberately approach Shen Jie, so as long as she does not fight, she will be called into the palace to accompany her. This matter did not fall on her; Yan Lin was still fighting with her sword in Beijing, and the Yongyi Hou's Mansion had not yet been implicated in the case of King Pingnan's conspiracy against the remaining party. Boy, say those hurtful words...

But things are not all rosy.

Just one Yan Lin is enough to cause a headache.

Seeing the young man who was about to be crowned, he almost completely handed over his youthful and passionate feelings to an unworthy her, took her out to play, protected her, and even helped her settle it because of her extravagant waywardness and boldness. **** mansion.

She didn't think about it clearly in her last life.

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

Jiang Boyou felt a little guilty and pity for her ill-fated daughter, but the big family had to be more or less polite, no matter how doting they were, they wouldn't let her run outside disguised as a man.

But the Jiang family acquiesced in this way.

There can only be one explanation for this—

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

But it is destined to have no results.

Marquis Yongyi's mansion will be in disaster in two months. Yan Lin in the last life never waited for the day when he could bring someone to propose marriage. Just the day before the coronation ceremony, his house was ransacked.

Jiang Xue quietly leaned against the edge of the wooden barrel, blinked, and thought of the young Yan Lin's vigorous face, passionate eyes, and the resolute and profound outline of the young Yan Lin when he returned to court with his meritorious deeds. Looking at her eyes, she felt a little confused for a moment.

It is true that the Yongyi Hou Mansion is connected with the remnants of the Southern King Party.

It's just that there seems to be something inside.

Otherwise, after Yan Lin returned to the imperial court in the previous life, he would have had a lot of troops in his hands, so he wouldn't have voted for Xie Wei and conspired with him.

But Jiang Xuening couldn't figure out what the inside story was until his death.

Let's wait and see.

No matter how things develop next, she doesn't plan to stay in the capital anyway. It's just that she has provoked Yan Lin in this life, so she has to think of a safe way to get together with him, so as to prevent him from love and hate, and once he returns to the palace, he will put her under house arrest and take revenge on her.

Those days in the previous life were a nightmare.

It would be great if you could hide outside.

After all, a group of people in the capital city in the previous life fought fiercely, but the scale was extremely well controlled. No matter how many disturbances there were in the palace, only one-third of an acre of land in the imperial city, the whole world would still be rich and healthy.

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

It's only seven years after all the calculations.

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

Jiang Xuening thinks that at most she has a little cleverness to play with people's hearts, and she dare not say that she has the great wisdom of Anbang and Ningguo, let alone Xie Wei, an emperor in the court who wears the skin of a saint.

Working with this person, if one is not careful one day, he doesn't know how he was killed.

She couldn't afford to get involved in this game of chess.

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

Jiang Xuening thought about it, so she called Lian'er and Tang'er to wipe and dress herself, and changed into a snow-blue embroidered skirt with dark white flowing clouds and dark patterns on the skirt, and a belt , It is graceful without a grasp.

It's just that when Tang'er folded her sleeves for her, she saw the two-inch scar on the inside of her left wrist.

For a while, he sighed softly: "The soothing ointment brought back a month ago has almost been used up. Yours seems to be a little shallow. I will buy some for you in two days."

Jiang Xuening turned her wrist to take a look.

It's an old scar from four years ago.

From the middle of the inner side of the wrist, pull it out diagonally towards the palm of the hand. The lower end is deeper and the upper end is shallow. You can tell at a glance that it was drawn by yourself with a dagger. It is used for short-term bloodletting, and it can hold about half a bowl.

She turned her wrist back again, but a somewhat dim light flashed across her eyes: I really don't know whether to say that God treats her favorably or Xie Wei favorably. Although she was given a chance to be reborn, but she was reborn after returning to Beijing.

If rebirth is on the way back to Beijing...

She hasn't cut the knife yet, this life may be much easier.

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

Since Jiang Xuening already had plans to leave Beijing to avoid disaster, money became the top priority to consider, so naturally he had to figure it out first.

So she ordered: "Go and move all the things in the house, I want to order some."

Both girls froze for a moment.

My daughter's things are always countless, and she likes the new and dislikes the old. Sometimes when she gets a share, divides things, or the young master sends some things, she takes them once and then throws them aside. No, don't care about their whereabouts.

So there are a few lard-covered people in the house, headed by Wang Xing's family, who often take things from girls.

It's useless for them to be dissatisfied, because the girl turned a blind eye and didn't talk about them at all.

Now I need something...

Tang'er and Lian'er looked at each other.

Tang'er is okay, she can hold her breath.

Lian'er couldn't hold back, she clenched her small fist excitedly, and said hastily: "Yes, servants and servants, let's go!"

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

But when the two maids cleaned up and brought them up for a look, there were only two boxes left.

Pearls and beautiful jade, gold and silver heads.

Although the quality is not bad when you flip through it casually, the quantity is really a bit shabby.

She picked up a crystal-clear tourmaline bead string, laughed, and threw it back into the box, saying: "Call everyone in, and don't miss one inside or outside."

The two girls went down to call for someone.

But it took a long time for seven or eight people to arrive one after another, and they didn't stand upright, contemptuous and lazy.

The maids and mother-in-law whispered, guessing what she wanted to do.

Jiang Xuening was sitting on the kang by the window, half leaning against the autumn-colored brocade pillow, took a sip of tea from a few cups of tea, and just looked at these people calmly.

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

She was frightened to death by Jiang Xuening on the porch in the morning, just now when Fang heard that Jiang Xuening was calling someone, she hurried over and smiled apologetically: "A lot of things are still waiting for everyone to do, the girl suddenly called everyone, Is there something to explain?"

Jiang Xuening was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so she just pointed to the two boxes on the table in front of them, and said indifferently: "It's nothing important, just seeing that my box is a little empty. Give me whatever you have taken in the past Put it back."

Wang Xingjia's expression suddenly changed.

The others were also taken aback.

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

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

Wang Xing's family took the most, and knew that few people in the room were clean, and it was too late for everyone to protect each other. They just felt that nothing serious would happen, so they stood up and said with a fussy face: "What did the girl say! It's really embarrassing!" Shameful slaves. Everyone is serving you in this mansion, big and small, every pile of piles, they all put you first, who dares to take your things?"

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

The others looked at each other in blank dismay.

But who dares to stand up and admit this kind of thing?

Moreover, the second girl knew that they didn't count their belongings, so even if they found out that there were fewer things, it would be of no use, and they couldn't just conclude that one of them took it for no reason.

Anyone who stands up to admit it is an idiot.

They can still understand this simple truth, and they also think that Jiang Xuening may have an attack because she sees too little things, but with her strong-willed temperament, nothing can be disturbed.

So after she finished asking, no one answered for a long time.

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

Jiang Xuening wasn't angry either, she just said, "Okay."

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

Everyone is at a loss.

Wang Xing's family was extremely confused, and thought she was going to argue a few times, but unexpectedly left.

Her suspended heart should have fallen, but for no reason, she felt a little uneasy: "What are you going to do, girl?"

At this time Jiang Xuening had already walked out.

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

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

Jiang Xuening had seen clearly the scene just now.

These maids and women can't be controlled for a while.

Although she has a lot of ways to fight with these people, but these trivial matters in the inner house are really not worth spending too much effort on her, and she has to fight with people like a black-eyed chicken.

If you have trouble, just find your father.

Don't delay if you can solve it as soon as possible.

The Meng family was not close to her, a concubine-raised and out-of-the-way daughter, but Jiang Boyou treated her well, maybe because of Yan Lin, he could even be called conniving.

A few words from him are enough to punish the maidservant.

At most, it will take a while to explain why.

But this is what Jiang Xuening is good at, so she is not afraid.

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

Just as Jiang Xuening walked in, it was the outer room.

Beside the door stood a young man in green clothes, who was Chang Zhuo who was serving Jiang Boyou; there were four chairs lined up against the wall inside, and a man was sitting on the last chair, wearing a black and green brocade robe. Wearing regular clothes, with a badge hanging on his waist, he looks tall and steady. Although his facial features are ordinary, there is a falcon-like sharp light between his eyes, revealing a kind of deep calculation.

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

At that moment, the man got up from his seat, bowed his hands to her calmly, and said, "Hello, Second Miss."

Zhou Yinzhi.

In the previous life, he was the commander of Jinyiweidu, and he was the chief official in charge of the upper seal of the Weitang.

But this man is a well-known "house slave with three surnames" in the court.

In the beginning, he was just the son of a servant of the Jiang family, who was implicated in Wanniang's incident and was sent to the farm along with his family. When I grew up, I also helped to do some physical work in Zhuangzi, learned a few characters from the teachers 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.

So he asked him to come back with the people from Beijing and send himself to Beijing.

Zhou Yinzhi made a request: after arriving in Beijing, please ask Jiang Xuening to talk to Jiang Boyou and let him do things by your side.

Jiang Xuening agreed.

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

Jiang Boyou saw that he was doing things well, and it was a bit of a deal, so he recommended him to Jinyiwei two years ago, and found him a post as a school order. He also strives for success, and today he is a member of the sixth rank of Jinyiwei Baihu.

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

And Zhou Yinzhi's condition was to introduce him to the young master Yanlin.

As the saying goes, "Gentlemen share the same path, and villains share the same benefits."

The relationship between her and Zhou Yinzhi is "combined because of interests", one has something to ask, and the other has needs, so they naturally agreed.

Before anything happened in Yongyihou's mansion, he seized the opportunity to climb up and became the "Deputy Qianhu" of the fifth rank.

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

When Shen Jie came to the throne, he also had a lot of trust in him.

In the end, he was the commander of the capital, and he fought against the Dongchang controlled by the eunuchs. He did a lot of things, including what he should do and what he shouldn't do. He can be regarded as a big force in the court.

It's a pity that it ended badly.

Xie Wei walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, took control of the government and the court, and the first thing he did was to order people to shoot him to death with random arrows. His head was nailed to the palace gate with three long iron nails, so that all the civil and military personnel who entered and exited would be shot. Officers can see it.

Jiang Xuening had never seen it with her own eyes, but just hearing the rumors from the palace people made her feel chills.

Speaking of...

It was Jin Yiwei who handled the case of Yongyi Hou's mansion being implicated in the case of King Pingnan's rebellion against the party.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, Jiang Xuening glanced at Zhou Yin, didn't return the salute, just nodded flatly, then turned to Chang Zhuo and said, "Is father inside?"

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

Jiang Xuening frowned, recalled her spoiled and indulgent character when she was young, and then said: "I don't care. The gang of maids and women in my room are rebellious, stealing my things, and coaxing them to bully me. You go in Tell my father, I just take a word, and I will clean them up!"

Chang Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he also knew the temperament of the second girl, so he bit the bullet and agreed, and really lifted the curtain in the inner room to report.

Jiang Xuening sat down on the chair outside.

Zhou Yinzhi didn't sit any longer, but just stood aside, occasionally looking at her.

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

He was born with a refined appearance, and he is not confused in his youth, and he has a beautiful beard, which is a bit dignified.

Hearing Chang Zhuo whispered that Jiang Xuening was looking for him, he frowned: "Nonsense!"

Chang Zhuo raised his eyes to look at the person sitting opposite Jiang Boyou, felt somewhat embarrassed, lowered his voice even more, and said, "The second girl said that the hands and feet of the maid in the room are not clean..."

Some chatter.

Jiang Boyou suddenly showed surprise when he heard it, his eyes lit up: "She really said that?"

Chang Zhuo nodded.

Jiang Boyou immediately clapped his palms and smiled: "This girl actually has a moment of enlightenment, maybe she lost her head in a moment of anger, right? This time in her room, people secretly did not follow the rules. Madam said it several times, I thought about it a long time ago. Clean it up, Zhengchou can't find a chance! You go immediately and call me that room! Don't wait for Ning girl to come to her senses, if she gets angry, it won't work if she cleans up again!"

Seeing his master's excitement, Chang Zhuo couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.

Jiang Boyou didn't know it yet, so he turned his head and said to the guests sitting across the table: "Ju An, I'm afraid I'll wait for you for a while, there's something messy in my house, I'll come as soon as I cook."

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