Just as the Marquis of Ningyuan discussed the disposal of Jiang yu'e, in the courtyard of Sanfang, the Yang family was also arguing with Jiang Yuanxing about Jiang yu'e.
"Yu'e is now with Zhou Yanbang. She can only marry to the Marquis of Ningyuan!" Yang's eyes widened, probably because of Jiang yu'e's affair. Overnight, she actually looked much thinner, with a sharp and thin face and high cheekbones, which was more spicy than usual.
"I will never allow my daughter to be a concubine!" Jiang Yuanxing changed his cowardice in the past, and fought with yang to blush and have a thick neck. He said, "go and be a concubine to Ningyuan Hou. In the future, her son will be like me, and can only be a concubine!"
This time, even Yang was speechless. She looked at her husband. She didn't dislike Jiang Yuanxing when she married him. Although Jiang Yuanxing was just a concubine of Sanfang, she was also just a concubine of Si zhilang. It was impossible to marry a richer family. In addition, Jiang Yuanxing looks beautiful and weak, and he doesn't hate it.
But life is always about daily necessities. People's hearts are always fond of comparison. Compared with the wealth of the big house and the second house, the third house is so tight that Yang is also annoyed. With dissatisfaction and blame in his heart, Yang often quarreled with Jiang Yuanxing. Jiang Yuanxing never refuted, but Nuo's acceptance made Yang see that this man was not weak, but cowardly by nature, and he could only be a schoolboy all his life.
Now, after many years of marriage, this is the first time Jiang Yuanxing quarreled with her. And even the words "like me, I can only be a concubine" were said. Obviously, Jiang Yuanxing was in a hurry.
Jiang Yuanxing was really in a hurry.
Only he knew how humble it was to be a concubine. Although he didn't seem to care about these on weekdays, he always felt inferior in front of his two brothers. When he was young, he also dreamed that if his biological mother was Mrs. Jiang, he could have everything his brother owned and would be respected everywhere he went. When he grew up, he knew that everything was human's life. God wanted him to be born in the belly of a concubine. His life was doomed to be trampled by two brothers.
His fate cannot be changed, but his daughter can. Jiang yu'e can not go this way. She can choose not to marry Zhou Yanbang. In this way, her children do not have to become concubines with such a tragic fate.
"What do you say to do?" Yang suddenly calmed down. She didn't quarrel with Jiang Yuanxing as before, Instead, he said in despair, "yu'e's identity can only be married to the prince of Ningyuan as a concubine. Will they marry yu'e as a straight wife? Now everyone in Yanjing knows that yu'e is with Zhou Yanbang, and no one will marry yu'e. do you want her to stay in the house all her life and be an old girl? Or do you want her to simply cut her hair and go to the temple, with green lights and ancient Buddha all her life?" Yang murmured, "I didn't teach my daughter well, but if you weren't a schoolteacher, if the accident happened not to yu'e but to Da Fang's daughter, it wouldn't be such a result."
Jiang Yuanxing staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning.
At this time, Jiang yu'e ran in from the door. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and cried to Jiang Yuanxing, "Dad, I don't want to be my sister-in-law, and I don't want to stay in the house all my life. Now it's already so. If I don't marry Zhou Yanbang, I have no other way to go. Dad, do you want to force my daughter to die?"
Seeing his wife and daughter like this and thinking about his current identity, Jiang Yuanxing turned pale and had no power to resist. He wriggled his lips and finally closed his eyes. After a long time, he said the word "good".
The dust settled here.
……
Time passed slowly, summer finally passed, and autumn came from the distant sky with the fragrance of osmanthus.
This summer has been particularly long. It seems that many terrible things have happened in Yanjing city. Think about it carefully, unless life and death, they are all small things. But there are also small things that have been talked about for months.
The good fortune of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan, is one of them.
Speaking of it, since the Palace Banquet, the prince of Ningyuan pestered with the two women's relatives in front of all the guests, the men all envy Zhou Yanbang's happiness, and the women all sympathize with Zhou Yanbang's original fiancee Jiang Youyao.
Speaking of it, it was also a sudden disaster. Miss Jiang San could marry Zhou Yanbang in another year. Who knew such a thing happened halfway. Obviously, he didn't do anything, and his fiance was robbed. Some people who were jealous of Jiang Youyao applauded, saying that everything was retribution. Didn't Miss Jiang three's marriage be snatched from Miss Jiang two? It can be seen that it's really your own thing, and you can't grab it.
No matter what people said, the final love affair was settled by the marriage of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan.
Zhou Yanbang will marry Miss Shen Ruyun of the Shen family as his wife, and at the same time take Miss Jiang of the Jiang family as his concubine.
Shen Ruyun was "despised" by Zhou Yanbang and was also the sister of Zhongshu Shelang. The reputation of innocence of her daughter's family was the most important, so she had to marry Shen Ruyun into the door. Jiang yu'e, most of the rumors in Yanjing city are about Miss Jiang Wu and her future brother-in-law, who had already secretly lived in the past. Just to cover up this scandal, she had to enter the door. Only the third room of the Jiang family was in a low position, so it was OK to be a concubine. Of course, the third room of the Jiang family should also be, which virtually reflects that Jiang yu'e and Zhou Yanbang had an affair for a long time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yanbang's beautiful wife and concubine are in her arms, and she has become a popular man in front of the Emperor today - the brother-in-law of Zhongshu Shelang, which is also happy for everyone. But only Zhou Yanbang himself knows the taste.
In Fangfei garden, tong'er sat on the small stool in front of the house and made contact with Bai Xue.
"Miss three is not here. The weather has been much better recently." Tong'er stretched out her nose and took a deep sniff. The aroma of Osmanthus in the air was particularly strong.
Snow White nodded in a serious way: "yes."
"I just don't know how long the third young lady will be grounded," the moon and the breeze swept the floor, smelling the speech and laughing, "it's better to keep it for three or five more days."
Jiang Li smiled and looked at the servant girls in the yard. These days, they have also relaxed a lot. I don't know if it's because Ji shuran's mother and daughter have no time to pay attention to Fangfei garden.
Jiang Youyao is grounded.
That night in the Feng hall, Jiang Youyao and Jiang yu'e fought. Hearing that Jiang Youyao scratched Jiang yu'e's face, Jiang Li didn't see it, but the servant girl who saw it said that Jiang yu'e was bleeding at that time. As Jiang Yuanxing, naturally, I can't ask for anything from Jiang Yuanbai, nor can I do anything to Jiang Youyao. But the old lady was angry, which made Jiang Youyao forbidden.
Jiang Li thought that the reason why old lady Jiang let Jiang Youyao ban her feet was not to punish Jiang Youyao for hurting Jiang yu'e. it was because she was afraid that Jiang Youyao would not give up on Zhou Yanbang. After knowing that Zhou Yanbang was going to marry Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e, she did something stupid and simply cut her off.
Old lady Jiang saved Jiang Li's strength. No Jiang Youyao is annoying in the Jiang family, and Ji shuran is probably too weak to deal with her. These days, the Jiang family is extremely calm.
Jiang yu'e heard that she was sent to Chuang Tzu to recuperate, and her marriage with the Marquis of Ningyuan was also settled. Jiang Li still admired the courage of Ningyuan marquis. Zhou Yanbang's marriage was settled so easily. In a word, Zhou Yanbang is also a person who has experienced three marriages. But the last one, I think, is Zhou Yanbang's most dissatisfied.
However, Zhou Yanbang is not satisfied, but Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e must be satisfied.
Shen Ruyun also got his wish and married Zhou Yanbang, who had long been in his heart. Jiang Li thought that Shen Ruyun's future life was not easy. Shen Ruyun was narrow-minded and domineering, but he had a scheming and flattering Jiang yu'e to contend with. Zhou Yanbang himself does not love Shen Ruyun. In the long run, he will complain about Shen Ruyun. These people are not afraid that the Marquis of Ningyuan will not jump.
Villains have their own villains. It's really perfect to put Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e together.
Thinking about the farce of Ningyuan Hou mansion in the future, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, a teenager's voice came from her ear: "are you missing spring? Or missing spring?"
Jiang Li looked up, and Jiang Jingrui was looking at her with a narrow face, as if he had caught Jiang Li's little secret, but it wasn't enough. He stepped forward and said, "tell me, which childe is the second young lady of our family in favor of? I'll help you find out the truth."
"Nonsense?" Tong'er "rubbed" stood up and said, "my miss is innocent. I haven't seen many men. What's missing spring? If the second young master talks nonsense again, be careful that the second lady teaches you a lesson!"
"This also threatens my mother to sue," Jiang Jingrui opened his mouth. "Jiang Li, your servant girl is too fierce."
Jiang Lishi didn't care about him. Jiang Jingrui seemed to have nothing to do all day. In a flash, God came here. Lu Shi is also really strange. Jiang Jingyou manages so well that he is so indulgent to Jiang Jingrui. Is it true that crying children have sugar? The more lawless Jiang Jingrui is, the more no one dares to take care of him? This is also wrong. If Xue Zhao dared to do so, he would have been punished by Xue Huaiyuan and complained endlessly.
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Li asked.
"Three days later is the mid autumn festival night. There is a lantern festival in the evening. Do you want to go to see it?"
Jiang Li: "No."
"No?" Jiang Jingrui stared at Jiang Li as if looking at a monster. "Why don't you go? There are so many delicious and interesting things at the mid autumn festival night Lantern Festival, and you haven't been there before... Well, you've been there many years ago, and now it's more lively than before. Why don't you go?"
Jiang Li said, "I don't want to go." Stand up and go inside. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingrui immediately stood up like a rogue, pestered her in and out and asked, "Jiang Li, you have a problem! The ladies next to you are looking forward to the excitement of the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival every year, but you are good, but you don't go. What's the matter? On that day, everyone in our house will go out. Why don't you stay in the house, play leaf cards with forbidden Jiang Youyao, or copy Buddhist scriptures with your grandmother?"
Jiang Li's good temper was a little impatient, and he said, "there's no reason. If you don't want to go, you just don't want to go."
Jiang Jingrui stood where he was, and tong'er Bai Xue and her colleagues also looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li felt that her tone of voice was heavier. She relaxed her mood and said to Jiang Jingrui in a warm voice, "I don't like excitement. There are too many people, so it's hard to avoid bumps. I'm really afraid. If you want to go, go by yourself. It's nothing if I don't go alone." Although his tone was mild, he couldn't help but say yes.
Jiang Jingrui lingered for a while. Finally, he reluctantly found that Jiang Li didn't seem to want to change his mind, so he had to leave in despair.
After Jiang Jingrui left, Jiang Li didn't bask in the yard and went into the house by herself.
After Jiang Li entered the house, Bai Xue asked tong'er suspiciously, "why is the girl unhappy?"
Tong'er shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe the second young master is too annoying."
Inside, Jiang Li sat opposite the window.
In the emerald leaves of the osmanthus tree, there are small pale yellow flowers. Although they are inconspicuous, they are more fragrant than other bouquets. Under the tree, there are also many broken flowers, from light yellow to golden yellow, and finally into fragrant flower mud, dust to dust, earth to earth.
It's Mid Autumn Festival again, Jiang Li thought silently.
She recalled that she followed Shen Yurong to Yanjing city for the first time and spent the Mid Autumn Festival in Yanjing city for the first time. The Mid Autumn Festival is a time of reunion. She misses her father and Xue Zhao, who are far away from her hometown, and is always particularly disappointed. Shenyurong took her hand and said to her, "from now on, this is your home. You haven't seen the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in Yanjing City, haven't you? It's no worse than Tongxiang. I'll take you to see it. I'll take you to see it every year in the future. You'll like it here."
Shenyurong took her to the Lantern Festival.
Unlike small places like Tongxiang, if Tongxiang is simple, natural, warm and lovely, Yanjing city is prosperous, winding, lively and crowded. For the first time she saw so many lanterns, the riddles written by the vendors who guessed the riddles were always extremely simple. She and Shen Yurong always guessed one by one, and the won lanterns could not be taken in their hands, so they were given to the children who met by chance on the roadside.
She still remembered that there was a lantern riddle called "thousands of times to find him". She guessed it was "Hope". Shen Yurong whispered in her ear, "this word is like I treat you."
He "hoped" for her. At that time, she thought it was true and really believed it, but she didn't know that there was another "death" after the "Hope".
He looked forward to his death, so that no one could stop him.
Jiang Li clenched her hand into a fist and took a deep breath before slowly loosening her palm.
She didn't want to indulge in the memories of the past, but the crueler it became later, the clearer it became. Jiang Jingrui asked her to go out to watch the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, but Jiang Li was afraid that once she went out, there would be memories everywhere and the past everywhere.
That's too cruel. She would rather not look at it and always remember the ugly face of the other party. In this way, the warmth and beauty seems not to be broken, so it is sealed underground and never used at the beginning.
She won't ask for trouble.
……
In the inn in Yanjing City, the lights of one room are particularly bright.
Ye Shijie was sitting in the room, carefully flipping the candlelight center in the lamp, moving. Suddenly, a sound came from the direction of the door behind him, and someone pushed the door open and came in.
Ye Shijie stood up and turned his head. His face showed some excitement: "second uncle!"
The visitor was a thin, middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. He wore a feather crown, white clothes and two silver ribbons. He looked like a scholar, but there was a shrewd intelligence in his eyes. He closed the door and hurried forward, shouting, "Shijie, you are promising!"
He walked up to Ye Shijie and patted Ye Shijie on the shoulder. "I've heard all about you. Many people praised you all the way. That's right. It's a shame for our old Ye parents!"
This man is Ye Mingxuan, the second uncle of Ye Shijie and the second master of Ye family in Xiangyang.
Ye Shijie looked behind Ye Mingxuan. He didn't see anyone else. He asked suspiciously, "uncle, why are you alone? Where's my father?"
Speaking of this, ye Mingxuan frowned slightly, and the joy of just now was slightly diluted. He said, "your grandmother is not well. She fainted at home a few months ago, and now she can't live without people. Xiangyang's business has also had some trouble, not to mention your father, your third uncle has returned to Xiangyang."
"What?" Ye Shijie was stunned, "what happened?"
"It's not a big deal." Ye Mingxuan thought again and patted Ye Shijie on the head. "I came here this time to send you some silver tickets and collect the business of Yanjing city. You are now an official. There are many places where you need silver to manage up and down. Although it is said that money cannot be revealed, you still need to use the place you should use, and our family does not lack this silver."
Ye Shijie was still a little uneasy and asked, "uncle, it's really all right? I want to go back and see my grandmother."
"You haven't been in office for a long time now. How can you return to Xiangyang for such a long time? It's okay. Your grandmother is not a big problem, and you can stay in Yanjing city at ease. When you stand firm here, it's not difficult for our family to move to Yanjing city. Well, I guess it's going to take you three to five years to get promoted to Sanpin." He touched his chin and thought.
Ye Shijie was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Mingxuan, "second uncle, do you still remember your aunt?"
Ye Mingxuan was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Shijie.
The Ye family has three sons and a daughter. The only daughter is Ye Zhenzhen, who is also his sister. It's just that this sister's life is thin and she died too early. It's also sad to mention it.
Ye Shijie observed Ye Mingxuan's face and said cautiously, "some days ago, I saw my aunt's daughter... Cousin."
"Ginger pear?" Ye Mingxuan reacted very quickly and immediately said the name of Jiang Li.
Ye Shijie was relieved. Fortunately, ye Mingxuan didn't forget that there was such a person as Jiang Li. Since you still remember, it's much easier to say. Ye Shijie told ye Mingxuan everything about Jiang Li, what Jiang Li said to him, and the rumors about Jiang Li in Yanjing city. He also had a lot of confusion about Jiang Li and couldn't understand it. At present, he finally had a person who could talk about it, and he could talk about it.
It was easy to finish. Ye Shijie was already thirsty. He took a sip of tea on the table and said, "uncle, what do you mean by Jiang Li? This is to make up with our Ye family? But she also said at the beginning that she disdained to be with merchants. Now I can't understand it more and more."
After all, ye Mingxuan is older than ye Shijie. After hearing Ye Shijie's words, he didn't immediately answer, but thought carefully, Cai said, "I know what you said. It's natural to listen to people's one-sided words in everything. I don't believe Jiang Li, but I can't trust the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family is an official household, the official household is sometimes not as magnanimous as the merchant. I'm afraid it's not Jiang Li's intention, but the Jiang family's guidance behind it. Although we Ye family have nothing to plot, we have to guard against people." Ye Mingxuan knocked on the table and said, "well, find a chance. I want to meet Jiang Li. I'll know if it's true or false."
"Second uncle," Ye Shijie asked hesitantly, "Jiang Li's words about her humiliating merchants are not what she meant to say. Do you think it's true?"
Ye Mingxuan smiled. When he smiled, the shrewdness of the businessman diluted a lot, and he looked like a scholar again. He said, "it's not impossible. Just, even if someone inspired her to say so behind her back, as long as she was willing to believe us at that time and told the truth in front of us, we could have a way to take her away, but she didn't believe the Ye family."
"Maybe she was too young at that time. She was too young to be frightened." Ye Shijie couldn't help saying.
Ye Mingxuan didn't speak, but looked at Ye Shijie with a smile, and ye Shijie was uncomfortable. He asked, "what, what?"
"Nothing." Ye Mingxuan said, "yes, a child is really easy to be bewitched, so it's true. We won't blame her, but we will blame ourselves for not discovering it at the beginning. But now she's not a child. Listen to you, she's a girl with ideas and great courage. This time, she can say her true thoughts and choose whether to believe us."
"Everything will be known when we meet." He said.
……
Suguogongfu.
In the autumn of the massacre, the garden in the government house is still full of flowers.
It seems that there is no depression in autumn and winter in the government house. The flowers of the government house are naturally in full bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Peach blossoms will not bloom in autumn, but there are chrysanthemums in autumn, and lotus flowers will not bloom until winter, but there are also red plums in winter.
Of course, ordinary peaches, plums, chrysanthemums and plums cannot enter the eyes of Duke su. The flowers raised by Duke Su are more delicate than most people in Yanjing city. Neither cold nor hot. It's impossible to water too much or bury the soil too shallow. You have to cut branches and catch insects from time to time to find a comfortable position for her. You can't be too narrow or open in space. You can't be scratched by a cat or pecked by a bird.
Everyone in the government, from the housekeeper to the bodyguard, down to the pouring of Yexiang, is an expert in raising flowers. If ordinary people can't raise flowers well, go to the gate of the Duke of the state of Su and squat. When the boy goes out in the morning, he will catch one and ask, and keep what he can say.
So people ask where Yanjing has the best scenery? It's not Baiyun Mountain, it's not qingdaoguan, it's not in a palace, it's not a boat, it's the government. It is the best colors in the world, which are incompatible with the outside. Some people said that if it weren't for Duke Su's moodiness, no one would dare to provoke him. I'm afraid that people who peek at the Duke's garden every day can overthrow the outer wall of the mansion.
It's really beautiful.
And I don't know if the place is more beautiful, and the people raised are also beautiful. The servants and bodyguards and thugs in the whole government are all as beautiful as flowers. Although they are not as beautiful as the Duke of the state, if you take them outside, you can probably be fascinated.
It's really puzzling.
At the moment, someone is talking in the study of Duke su.
Kong 61 punched on the table and said in a thick voice, "are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?"
"No." Ji Heng answered him two words cleanly.
"Why?" Kong Liu asked, "don't you want to see what happened to Cheng Wang?"
"It's no use going before he starts." Ji Heng casually said, "it's the same every year. It's boring."
"This year, there are plenty of gold." Sitting on the other side of Lu Ji's mouth, he didn't forget to fondle his pointed goatee: "adults don't like watching the theatre very much?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Kong Liu also said, "JinManTang is much better than the lovesickness class that was popular before naloshi."
Ji Heng glanced at him. You know, the lovesickness class that used to be famous in Yanjing city was because of Liu Sheng's popularity, but Liu Sheng, who always sang Dan roles, had a mind that he shouldn't have, and even tried to climb Ji Heng's bed while coming to the government to celebrate the old general's birthday. But Ji Heng was disgusted. Ji Heng broke his leg and threw him out. Together with the Acacia class, he escaped from Yanjing city overnight.
It's light to annoy Duke Su and lose his life.
The lovesickness troupe disappeared from Yanjing City, and there was no other troupe. Not long ago, there was a golden hall, which was good.
Seeing Ji Chen didn't answer, Kong Liu shouted, "if you don't go out, Lu xiaobeard and I have to deal with your business at the national government all night. Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival, Mid Autumn Festival! Ji Chen, the national Lord, adults! Can you be a little human? Beggars have to celebrate the festival!"
Lu Ji didn't speak, smiling, but he also echoed Kong Liu's words very much. Ji Xuan looked up at them both for a while and said, "No."
Kong Liu vented at once, and was about to refute, when the door suddenly opened, and Ji Heng's grandfather, the old general, came in.
In the weather at the end of September, the old general was still shirtless. He should have just returned from sword practice in the yard, and there were bright beads of sweat on his forehead. However, his sword spirit should, as always, spoil a lot of Ji's flowers. Seeing several fallen petals floating on the veteran's head, Lu Ji's eyelids couldn't help jumping. He recognized that the petals looked like the "fragrant snow sea" Ji Heng had bought from foreign businessmen for onethousand liang of silver. These petals were also worth a hundred liang of silver.
No wonder the servants of the government always say that the most extravagant is not Ji Heng, but the old general. Such a merciless grandfather, I really don't know how to get along with Ji Heng.
"Are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?" The old general was very angry, and his voice was loud. Looking at Ji Heng, his eyes were a little sorry, "I originally wanted you to stay in the house to practice swords with me. It was a pity to hear what you said about the Lantern Festival in the house."
When Kong Liuzheng was about to say "it's not a pity that Ji Heng won't go again", he heard Ji Heng's regretful voice ring out: "it's really a pity."
Kong Liu looked at Ji Chen in surprise. Ji Chen smiled and said calmly, "grandpa can practice alone in the house. It's best to practice in the open space. We'll come back very late when we go out."

Just as the Marquis of Ningyuan discussed the disposal of Jiang yu'e, in the courtyard of Sanfang, the Yang family was also arguing with Jiang Yuanxing about Jiang yu'e.
"Yu'e is now with Zhou Yanbang. She can only marry to the Marquis of Ningyuan!" Yang's eyes widened, probably because of Jiang yu'e's affair. Overnight, she actually looked much thinner, with a sharp and thin face and high cheekbones, which was more spicy than usual.
"I will never allow my daughter to be a concubine!" Jiang Yuanxing changed his cowardice in the past, and fought with yang to blush and have a thick neck. He said, "go and be a concubine to Ningyuan Hou. In the future, her son will be like me, and can only be a concubine!"
This time, even Yang was speechless. She looked at her husband. She didn't dislike Jiang Yuanxing when she married him. Although Jiang Yuanxing was just a concubine of Sanfang, she was also just a concubine of Si zhilang. It was impossible to marry a richer family. In addition, Jiang Yuanxing looks beautiful and weak, and he doesn't hate it.
But life is always about daily necessities. People's hearts are always fond of comparison. Compared with the wealth of the big house and the second house, the third house is so tight that Yang is also annoyed. With dissatisfaction and blame in his heart, Yang often quarreled with Jiang Yuanxing. Jiang Yuanxing never refuted, but Nuo's acceptance made Yang see that this man was not weak, but cowardly by nature, and he could only be a schoolboy all his life.
Now, after many years of marriage, this is the first time Jiang Yuanxing quarreled with her. And even the words "like me, I can only be a concubine" were said. Obviously, Jiang Yuanxing was in a hurry.
Jiang Yuanxing was really in a hurry.
Only he knew how humble it was to be a concubine. Although he didn't seem to care about these on weekdays, he always felt inferior in front of his two brothers. When he was young, he also dreamed that if his biological mother was Mrs. Jiang, he could have everything his brother owned and would be respected everywhere he went. When he grew up, he knew that everything was human's life. God wanted him to be born in the belly of a concubine. His life was doomed to be trampled by two brothers.
His fate cannot be changed, but his daughter can. Jiang yu'e can not go this way. She can choose not to marry Zhou Yanbang. In this way, her children do not have to become concubines with such a tragic fate.
"What do you say to do?" Yang suddenly calmed down. She didn't quarrel with Jiang Yuanxing as before, Instead, he said in despair, "yu'e's identity can only be married to the prince of Ningyuan as a concubine. Will they marry yu'e as a straight wife? Now everyone in Yanjing knows that yu'e is with Zhou Yanbang, and no one will marry yu'e. do you want her to stay in the house all her life and be an old girl? Or do you want her to simply cut her hair and go to the temple, with green lights and ancient Buddha all her life?" Yang murmured, "I didn't teach my daughter well, but if you weren't a schoolteacher, if the accident happened not to yu'e but to Da Fang's daughter, it wouldn't be such a result."
Jiang Yuanxing staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning.
At this time, Jiang yu'e ran in from the door. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and cried to Jiang Yuanxing, "Dad, I don't want to be my sister-in-law, and I don't want to stay in the house all my life. Now it's already so. If I don't marry Zhou Yanbang, I have no other way to go. Dad, do you want to force my daughter to die?"
Seeing his wife and daughter like this and thinking about his current identity, Jiang Yuanxing turned pale and had no power to resist. He wriggled his lips and finally closed his eyes. After a long time, he said the word "good".
The dust settled here.
……
Time passed slowly, summer finally passed, and autumn came from the distant sky with the fragrance of osmanthus.
This summer has been particularly long. It seems that many terrible things have happened in Yanjing city. Think about it carefully, unless life and death, they are all small things. But there are also small things that have been talked about for months.
The good fortune of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan, is one of them.

No matter what people said, the final love affair was settled by the marriage of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan.
Zhou Yanbang will marry Miss Shen Ruyun of the Shen family as his wife, and at the same time take Miss Jiang of the Jiang family as his concubine.
Shen Ruyun was "despised" by Zhou Yanbang and was also the sister of Zhongshu Shelang. The reputation of innocence of her daughter's family was the most important, so she had to marry Shen Ruyun into the door. Jiang yu'e, most of the rumors in Yanjing city are about Miss Jiang Wu and her future brother-in-law, who had already secretly lived in the past.

In Fangfei garden, tong'er sat on the small stool in front of the house and made contact with Bai Xue.
"Miss three is not here. The weather has been much better recently." Tong'er stretched out her nose and took a deep sniff. The aroma of Osmanthus in the air was particularly strong.
Snow White nodded in a serious way: "yes."
"I just don't know how long the third young lady will be grounded," the moon and the breeze swept the floor, smelling the speech and laughing, "it's better to keep it for three or five more days."
Jiang Li smiled and looked at the servant girls in the yard. These days, they have also relaxed a lot. I don't know if it's because Ji shuran's mother and daughter have no time to pay attention to Fangfei garden.
Jiang Youyao is grounded.
That night in the Feng hall, Jiang Youyao and Jiang yu'e fought. Hearing that Jiang Youyao scratched Jiang yu'e's face, Jiang Li didn't see it, but the servant girl who saw it said that Jiang yu'e was bleeding at that time. As Jiang Yuanxing, naturally, I can't ask for anything from Jiang Yuanbai, nor can I do anything to Jiang Youyao. But the old lady was angry, which made Jiang Youyao forbidden.
Jiang Li thought that the reason why old lady Jiang let Jiang Youyao ban her feet was not to punish Jiang Youyao for hurting Jiang yu'e. it was because she was afraid that Jiang Youyao would not give up on Zhou Yanbang. After knowing that Zhou Yanbang was going to marry Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e, she did something stupid and simply cut her off.
Old lady Jiang saved Jiang Li's strength. No Jiang Youyao is annoying in the Jiang family, and Ji shuran is probably too weak to deal with her. These days, the Jiang family is extremely calm.
Jiang yu'e heard that she was sent to Chuang Tzu to recuperate, and her marriage with the Marquis of Ningyuan was also settled. Jiang Li still admired the courage of Ningyuan marquis. Zhou Yanbang's marriage was settled so easily. In a word, Zhou Yanbang is also a person who has experienced three marriages. But the last one, I think, is Zhou Yanbang's most dissatisfied.
However, Zhou Yanbang is not satisfied, but Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e must be satisfied.
Shen Ruyun also got his wish and married Zhou Yanbang, who had long been in his heart. Jiang Li thought that Shen Ruyun's future life was not easy. Shen Ruyun was narrow-minded and domineering, but he had a scheming and flattering Jiang yu'e to contend with. Zhou Yanbang himself does not love Shen Ruyun. In the long run, he will complain about Shen Ruyun. These people are not afraid that the Marquis of Ningyuan will not jump.
Villains have their own villains. It's really perfect to put Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e together.
Thinking about the farce of Ningyuan Hou mansion in the future, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, a teenager's voice came from her ear: "are you missing spring? Or missing spring?"
Jiang Li looked up, and Jiang Jingrui was looking at her with a narrow face, as if he had caught Jiang Li's little secret, but it wasn't enough. He stepped forward and said, "tell me, which childe is the second young lady of our family in favor of? I'll help you find out the truth."
"Nonsense?" Tong'er "rubbed" stood up and said, "my miss is innocent. I haven't seen many men. What's missing spring? If the second young master talks nonsense again, be careful that the second lady teaches you a lesson!"
"This also threatens my mother to sue," Jiang Jingrui opened his mouth. "Jiang Li, your servant girl is too fierce."
Jiang Lishi didn't care about him. Jiang Jingrui seemed to have nothing to do all day. In a flash, God came here. Lu Shi is also really strange. Jiang Jingyou manages so well that he is so indulgent to Jiang Jingrui. Is it true that crying children have sugar? The more lawless Jiang Jingrui is, the more no one dares to take care of him? This is also wrong. If Xue Zhao dared to do so, he would have been punished by Xue Huaiyuan and complained endlessly.
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Li asked.
"Three days later is the mid autumn festival night. There is a lantern festival in the evening. Do you want to go to see it?"
Jiang Li: "No."
"No?" Jiang Jingrui stared at Jiang Li as if looking at a monster. "Why don't you go? There are so many delicious and interesting things at the mid autumn festival night Lantern Festival, and you haven't been there before... Well, you've been there many years ago, and now it's more lively than before. Why don't you go?"
Jiang Li said, "I don't want to go." Stand up and go inside. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingrui immediately stood up like a rogue, pestered her in and out and asked, "Jiang Li, you have a problem! The ladies next to you are looking forward to the excitement of the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival every year, but you are good, but you don't go. What's the matter? On that day, everyone in our house will go out. Why don't you stay in the house, play leaf cards with forbidden Jiang Youyao, or copy Buddhist scriptures with your grandmother?"
Jiang Li's good temper was a little impatient, and he said, "there's no reason. If you don't want to go, you just don't want to go."
Jiang Jingrui stood where he was, and tong'er Bai Xue and her colleagues also looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li felt that her tone of voice was heavier. She relaxed her mood and said to Jiang Jingrui in a warm voice, "I don't like excitement. There are too many people, so it's hard to avoid bumps. I'm really afraid. If you want to go, go by yourself. It's nothing if I don't go alone." Although his tone was mild, he couldn't help but say yes.
Jiang Jingrui lingered for a while. Finally, he reluctantly found that Jiang Li didn't seem to want to change his mind, so he had to leave in despair.
After Jiang Jingrui left, Jiang Li didn't bask in the yard and went into the house by herself.
After Jiang Li entered the house, Bai Xue asked tong'er suspiciously, "why is the girl unhappy?"
Tong'er shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe the second young master is too annoying."
Inside, Jiang Li sat opposite the window.
In the emerald leaves of the osmanthus tree, there are small pale yellow flowers. Although they are inconspicuous, they are more fragrant than other bouquets. Under the tree, there are also many broken flowers, from light yellow to golden yellow, and finally into fragrant flower mud, dust to dust, earth to earth.
It's Mid Autumn Festival again, Jiang Li thought silently.
She recalled that she followed Shen Yurong to Yanjing city for the first time and spent the Mid Autumn Festival in Yanjing city for the first time. The Mid Autumn Festival is a time of reunion. She misses her father and Xue Zhao, who are far away from her hometown, and is always particularly disappointed. Shenyurong took her hand and said to her, "from now on, this is your home. You haven't seen the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in Yanjing City, haven't you? It's no worse than Tongxiang. I'll take you to see it. I'll take you to see it every year in the future. You'll like it here."
Shenyurong took her to the Lantern Festival.
Unlike small places like Tongxiang, if Tongxiang is simple, natural, warm and lovely, Yanjing city is prosperous, winding, lively and crowded. For the first time she saw so many lanterns, the riddles written by the vendors who guessed the riddles were always extremely simple. She and Shen Yurong always guessed one by one, and the won lanterns could not be taken in their hands, so they were given to the children who met by chance on the roadside.
She still remembered that there was a lantern riddle called "thousands of times to find him". She guessed it was "Hope". Shen Yurong whispered in her ear, "this word is like I treat you."
He "hoped" for her. At that time, she thought it was true and really believed it, but she didn't know that there was another "death" after the "Hope".
He looked forward to his death, so that no one could stop him.
Jiang Li clenched her hand into a fist and took a deep breath before slowly loosening her palm.
She didn't want to indulge in the memories of the past, but the crueler it became later, the clearer it became. Jiang Jingrui asked her to go out to watch the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, but Jiang Li was afraid that once she went out, there would be memories everywhere and the past everywhere.
That's too cruel. She would rather not look at it and always remember the ugly face of the other party. In this way, the warmth and beauty seems not to be broken, so it is sealed underground and never used at the beginning.
She won't ask for trouble.
……
In the inn in Yanjing City, the lights of one room are particularly bright.
Ye Shijie was sitting in the room, carefully flipping the candlelight center in the lamp, moving. Suddenly, a sound came from the direction of the door behind him, and someone pushed the door open and came in.
Ye Shijie stood up and turned his head. His face showed some excitement: "second uncle!"
The visitor was a thin, middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. He wore a feather crown, white clothes and two silver ribbons. He looked like a scholar, but there was a shrewd intelligence in his eyes. He closed the door and hurried forward, shouting, "Shijie, you are promising!"
He walked up to Ye Shijie and patted Ye Shijie on the shoulder. "I've heard all about you. Many people praised you all the way. That's right. It's a shame for our old Ye parents!"
This man is Ye Mingxuan, the second uncle of Ye Shijie and the second master of Ye family in Xiangyang.
Ye Shijie looked behind Ye Mingxuan. He didn't see anyone else. He asked suspiciously, "uncle, why are you alone? Where's my father?"
Speaking of this, ye Mingxuan frowned slightly, and the joy of just now was slightly diluted. He said, "your grandmother is not well. She fainted at home a few months ago, and now she can't live without people. Xiangyang's business has also had some trouble, not to mention your father, your third uncle has returned to Xiangyang."
"What?" Ye Shijie was stunned, "what happened?"
"It's not a big deal." Ye Mingxuan thought again and patted Ye Shijie on the head. "I came here this time to send you some silver tickets and collect the business of Yanjing city. You are now an official. There are many places where you need silver to manage up and down. Although it is said that money cannot be revealed, you still need to use the place you should use, and our family does not lack this silver."
Ye Shijie was still a little uneasy and asked, "uncle, it's really all right? I want to go back and see my grandmother."
"You haven't been in office for a long time now. How can you return to Xiangyang for such a long time? It's okay. Your grandmother is not a big problem, and you can stay in Yanjing city at ease. When you stand firm here, it's not difficult for our family to move to Yanjing city. Well, I guess it's going to take you three to five years to get promoted to Sanpin." He touched his chin and thought.
Ye Shijie was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Mingxuan, "second uncle, do you still remember your aunt?"
Ye Mingxuan was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Shijie.
The Ye family has three sons and a daughter. The only daughter is Ye Zhenzhen, who is also his sister. It's just that this sister's life is thin and she died too early. It's also sad to mention it.
Ye Shijie observed Ye Mingxuan's face and said cautiously, "some days ago, I saw my aunt's daughter... Cousin."
"Ginger pear?" Ye Mingxuan reacted very quickly and immediately said the name of Jiang Li.
Ye Shijie was relieved. Fortunately, ye Mingxuan didn't forget that there was such a person as Jiang Li. Since you still remember, it's much easier to say. Ye Shijie told ye Mingxuan everything about Jiang Li, what Jiang Li said to him, and the rumors about Jiang Li in Yanjing city. He also had a lot of confusion about Jiang Li and couldn't understand it. At present, he finally had a person who could talk about it, and he could talk about it.
It was easy to finish. Ye Shijie was already thirsty. He took a sip of tea on the table and said, "uncle, what do you mean by Jiang Li? This is to make up with our Ye family? But she also said at the beginning that she disdained to be with merchants. Now I can't understand it more and more."
After all, ye Mingxuan is older than ye Shijie. After hearing Ye Shijie's words, he didn't immediately answer, but thought carefully, Cai said, "I know what you said. It's natural to listen to people's one-sided words in everything. I don't believe Jiang Li, but I can't trust the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family is an official household, the official household is sometimes not as magnanimous as the merchant. I'm afraid it's not Jiang Li's intention, but the Jiang family's guidance behind it. Although we Ye family have nothing to plot, we have to guard against people." Ye Mingxuan knocked on the table and said, "well, find a chance. I want to meet Jiang Li. I'll know if it's true or false."
"Second uncle," Ye Shijie asked hesitantly, "Jiang Li's words about her humiliating merchants are not what she meant to say. Do you think it's true?"
Ye Mingxuan smiled. When he smiled, the shrewdness of the businessman diluted a lot, and he looked like a scholar again. He said, "it's not impossible. Just, even if someone inspired her to say so behind her back, as long as she was willing to believe us at that time and told the truth in front of us, we could have a way to take her away, but she didn't believe the Ye family."
"Maybe she was too young at that time. She was too young to be frightened." Ye Shijie couldn't help saying.
Ye Mingxuan didn't speak, but looked at Ye Shijie with a smile, and ye Shijie was uncomfortable. He asked, "what, what?"
"Nothing." Ye Mingxuan said, "yes, a child is really easy to be bewitched, so it's true. We won't blame her, but we will blame ourselves for not discovering it at the beginning. But now she's not a child. Listen to you, she's a girl with ideas and great courage. This time, she can say her true thoughts and choose whether to believe us."
"Everything will be known when we meet." He said.
……
Suguogongfu.
In the autumn of the massacre, the garden in the government house is still full of flowers.
It seems that there is no depression in autumn and winter in the government house. The flowers of the government house are naturally in full bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Peach blossoms will not bloom in autumn, but there are chrysanthemums in autumn, and lotus flowers will not bloom until winter, but there are also red plums in winter.
Of course, ordinary peaches, plums, chrysanthemums and plums cannot enter the eyes of Duke su. The flowers raised by Duke Su are more delicate than most people in Yanjing city. Neither cold nor hot. It's impossible to water too much or bury the soil too shallow. You have to cut branches and catch insects from time to time to find a comfortable position for her. You can't be too narrow or open in space. You can't be scratched by a cat or pecked by a bird.
Everyone in the government, from the housekeeper to the bodyguard, down to the pouring of Yexiang, is an expert in raising flowers. If ordinary people can't raise flowers well, go to the gate of the Duke of the state of Su and squat. When the boy goes out in the morning, he will catch one and ask, and keep what he can say.
So people ask where Yanjing has the best scenery? It's not Baiyun Mountain, it's not qingdaoguan, it's not in a palace, it's not a boat, it's the government. It is the best colors in the world, which are incompatible with the outside. Some people said that if it weren't for Duke Su's moodiness, no one would dare to provoke him. I'm afraid that people who peek at the Duke's garden every day can overthrow the outer wall of the mansion.
It's really beautiful.
And I don't know if the place is more beautiful, and the people raised are also beautiful. The servants and bodyguards and thugs in the whole government are all as beautiful as flowers. Although they are not as beautiful as the Duke of the state, if you take them outside, you can probably be fascinated.
It's really puzzling.
At the moment, someone is talking in the study of Duke su.
Kong 61 punched on the table and said in a thick voice, "are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?"
"No." Ji Heng answered him two words cleanly.
"Why?" Kong Liu asked, "don't you want to see what happened to Cheng Wang?"
"It's no use going before he starts." Ji Heng casually said, "it's the same every year. It's boring."
"This year, there are plenty of gold." Sitting on the other side of Lu Ji's mouth, he didn't forget to fondle his pointed goatee: "adults don't like watching the theatre very much?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Kong Liu also said, "JinManTang is much better than the lovesickness class that was popular before naloshi."
Ji Heng glanced at him. You know, the lovesickness class that used to be famous in Yanjing city was because of Liu Sheng's popularity, but Liu Sheng, who always sang Dan roles, had a mind that he shouldn't have, and even tried to climb Ji Heng's bed while coming to the government to celebrate the old general's birthday. But Ji Heng was disgusted. Ji Heng broke his leg and threw him out. Together with the Acacia class, he escaped from Yanjing city overnight.
It's light to annoy Duke Su and lose his life.
The lovesickness troupe disappeared from Yanjing City, and there was no other troupe. Not long ago, there was a golden hall, which was good.
Seeing Ji Chen didn't answer, Kong Liu shouted, "if you don't go out, Lu xiaobeard and I have to deal with your business at the national government all night. Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival, Mid Autumn Festival! Ji Chen, the national Lord, adults! Can you be a little human? Beggars have to celebrate the festival!"
Lu Ji didn't speak, smiling, but he also echoed Kong Liu's words very much. Ji Xuan looked up at them both for a while and said, "No."
Kong Liu vented at once, and was about to refute, when the door suddenly opened, and Ji Heng's grandfather, the old general, came in.
In the weather at the end of September, the old general was still shirtless. He should have just returned from sword practice in the yard, and there were bright beads of sweat on his forehead. However, his sword spirit should, as always, spoil a lot of Ji's flowers. Seeing several fallen petals floating on the veteran's head, Lu Ji's eyelids couldn't help jumping. He recognized that the petals looked like the "fragrant snow sea" Ji Heng had bought from foreign businessmen for onethousand liang of silver. These petals were also worth a hundred liang of silver.
No wonder the servants of the government always say that the most extravagant is not Ji Heng, but the old general. Such a merciless grandfather, I really don't know how to get along with Ji Heng.
"Are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?" The old general was very angry, and his voice was loud. Looking at Ji Heng, his eyes were a little sorry, "I originally wanted you to stay in the house to practice swords with me. It was a pity to hear what you said about the Lantern Festival in the house."
When Kong Liuzheng was about to say "it's not a pity that Ji Heng won't go again", he heard Ji Heng's regretful voice ring out: "it's really a pity."
Kong Liu looked at Ji Chen in surprise. Ji Chen smiled and said calmly, "grandpa can practice alone in the house. It's best to practice in the open space. We'll come back very late when we go out."
Just as the Marquis of Ningyuan discussed the disposal of Jiang yu'e, in the courtyard of Sanfang, the Yang family was also arguing with Jiang Yuanxing about Jiang yu'e."Yu'e is now with Zhou Yanbang. She can only marry to the Marquis of Ningyuan!" Yang's eyes widened, probably because of Jiang yu'e's affair. Overnight, she actually looked much thinner, with a sharp and thin face and high cheekbones, which was more spicy than usual."I will never allow my daughter to be a concubine!" Jiang Yuanxing changed his cowardice in the past, and fought with yang to blush and have a thick neck. He said, "go and be a concubine to Ningyuan Hou. In the future, her son will be like me, and can only be a concubine!"This time, even Yang was speechless. She looked at her husband. She didn't dislike Jiang Yuanxing when she married him. Although Jiang Yuanxing was just a concubine of Sanfang, she was also just a concubine of Si zhilang. It was impossible to marry a richer family. In addition, Jiang Yuanxing looks beautiful and weak, and he doesn't hate it.But life is always about daily necessities. People's hearts are always fond of comparison. Compared with the wealth of the big house and the second house, the third house is so tight that Yang is also annoyed. With dissatisfaction and blame in his heart, Yang often quarreled with Jiang Yuanxing. Jiang Yuanxing never refuted, but Nuo's acceptance made Yang see that this man was not weak, but cowardly by nature, and he could only be a schoolboy all his life.Now, after many years of marriage, this is the first time Jiang Yuanxing quarreled with her. And even the words "like me, I can only be a concubine" were said. Obviously, Jiang Yuanxing was in a hurry.Jiang Yuanxing was really in a hurry.Only he knew how humble it was to be a concubine. Although he didn't seem to care about these on weekdays, he always felt inferior in front of his two brothers. When he was young, he also dreamed that if his biological mother was Mrs. Jiang, he could have everything his brother owned and would be respected everywhere he went. When he grew up, he knew that everything was human's life. God wanted him to be born in the belly of a concubine. His life was doomed to be trampled by two brothers.His fate cannot be changed, but his daughter can. Jiang yu'e can not go this way. She can choose not to marry Zhou Yanbang. In this way, her children do not have to become concubines with such a tragic fate."What do you say to do?" Yang suddenly calmed down. She didn't quarrel with Jiang Yuanxing as before, Instead, he said in despair, "yu'e's identity can only be married to the prince of Ningyuan as a concubine. Will they marry yu'e as a straight wife? Now everyone in Yanjing knows that yu'e is with Zhou Yanbang, and no one will marry yu'e. do you want her to stay in the house all her life and be an old girl? Or do you want her to simply cut her hair and go to the temple, with green lights and ancient Buddha all her life?" Yang murmured, "I didn't teach my daughter well, but if you weren't a schoolteacher, if the accident happened not to yu'e but to Da Fang's daughter, it wouldn't be such a result."Jiang Yuanxing staggered back two steps as if struck by lightning.At this time, Jiang yu'e ran in from the door. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and cried to Jiang Yuanxing, "Dad, I don't want to be my sister-in-law, and I don't want to stay in the house all my life. Now it's already so. If I don't marry Zhou Yanbang, I have no other way to go. Dad, do you want to force my daughter to die?"Seeing his wife and daughter like this and thinking about his current identity, Jiang Yuanxing turned pale and had no power to resist. He wriggled his lips and finally closed his eyes. After a long time, he said the word "good".The dust settled here.Time passed slowly, summer finally passed, and autumn came from the distant sky with the fragrance of osmanthus.This summer has been particularly long. It seems that many terrible things have happened in Yanjing city. Think about it carefully, unless life and death, they are all small things. But there are also small things that have been talked about for months.The good fortune of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan, is one of them.Speaking of it, since the Palace Banquet, the prince of Ningyuan pestered with the two women's relatives in front of all the guests, the men all envy Zhou Yanbang's happiness, and the women all sympathize with Zhou Yanbang's original fiancee Jiang Youyao.Speaking of it, it was also a sudden disaster. Miss Jiang San could marry Zhou Yanbang in another year. Who knew such a thing happened halfway. Obviously, he didn't do anything, and his fiance was robbed. Some people who were jealous of Jiang Youyao applauded, saying that everything was retribution. Didn't Miss Jiang three's marriage be snatched from Miss Jiang two? It can be seen that it's really your own thing, and you can't grab it.No matter what people said, the final love affair was settled by the marriage of Zhou Yanbang, the Marquis of Ningyuan.Zhou Yanbang will marry Miss Shen Ruyun of the Shen family as his wife, and at the same time take Miss Jiang of the Jiang family as his concubine.Shen Ruyun was "despised" by Zhou Yanbang and was also the sister of Zhongshu Shelang. The reputation of innocence of her daughter's family was the most important, so she had to marry Shen Ruyun into the door. Jiang yu'e, most of the rumors in Yanjing city are about Miss Jiang Wu and her future brother-in-law, who had already secretly lived in the past. Just to cover up this scandal, she had to enter the door. Only the third room of the Jiang family was in a low position, so it was OK to be a concubine. Of course, the third room of the Jiang family should also be, which virtually reflects that Jiang yu'e and Zhou Yanbang had an affair for a long time.In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Yanbang's beautiful wife and concubine are in her arms, and she has become a popular man in front of the Emperor today - the brother-in-law of Zhongshu Shelang, which is also happy for everyone. But only Zhou Yanbang himself knows the taste.In Fangfei garden, tong'er sat on the small stool in front of the house and made contact with Bai Xue."Miss three is not here. The weather has been much better recently." Tong'er stretched out her nose and took a deep sniff. The aroma of Osmanthus in the air was particularly strong.Snow White nodded in a serious way: "yes.""I just don't know how long the third young lady will be grounded," the moon and the breeze swept the floor, smelling the speech and laughing, "it's better to keep it for three or five more days."Jiang Li smiled and looked at the servant girls in the yard. These days, they have also relaxed a lot. I don't know if it's because Ji shuran's mother and daughter have no time to pay attention to Fangfei garden.Jiang Youyao is grounded.That night in the Feng hall, Jiang Youyao and Jiang yu'e fought. Hearing that Jiang Youyao scratched Jiang yu'e's face, Jiang Li didn't see it, but the servant girl who saw it said that Jiang yu'e was bleeding at that time. As Jiang Yuanxing, naturally, I can't ask for anything from Jiang Yuanbai, nor can I do anything to Jiang Youyao. But the old lady was angry, which made Jiang Youyao forbidden.Jiang Li thought that the reason why old lady Jiang let Jiang Youyao ban her feet was not to punish Jiang Youyao for hurting Jiang yu'e. it was because she was afraid that Jiang Youyao would not give up on Zhou Yanbang. After knowing that Zhou Yanbang was going to marry Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e, she did something stupid and simply cut her off.Old lady Jiang saved Jiang Li's strength. No Jiang Youyao is annoying in the Jiang family, and Ji shuran is probably too weak to deal with her. These days, the Jiang family is extremely calm.Jiang yu'e heard that she was sent to Chuang Tzu to recuperate, and her marriage with the Marquis of Ningyuan was also settled. Jiang Li still admired the courage of Ningyuan marquis. Zhou Yanbang's marriage was settled so easily. In a word, Zhou Yanbang is also a person who has experienced three marriages. But the last one, I think, is Zhou Yanbang's most dissatisfied.However, Zhou Yanbang is not satisfied, but Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e must be satisfied.Shen Ruyun also got his wish and married Zhou Yanbang, who had long been in his heart. Jiang Li thought that Shen Ruyun's future life was not easy. Shen Ruyun was narrow-minded and domineering, but he had a scheming and flattering Jiang yu'e to contend with. Zhou Yanbang himself does not love Shen Ruyun. In the long run, he will complain about Shen Ruyun. These people are not afraid that the Marquis of Ningyuan will not jump.Villains have their own villains. It's really perfect to put Shen Ruyun and Jiang yu'e together.Thinking about the farce of Ningyuan Hou mansion in the future, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, a teenager's voice came from her ear: "are you missing spring? Or missing spring?"Jiang Li looked up, and Jiang Jingrui was looking at her with a narrow face, as if he had caught Jiang Li's little secret, but it wasn't enough. He stepped forward and said, "tell me, which childe is the second young lady of our family in favor of? I'll help you find out the truth.""Nonsense?" Tong'er "rubbed" stood up and said, "my miss is innocent. I haven't seen many men. What's missing spring? If the second young master talks nonsense again, be careful that the second lady teaches you a lesson!""This also threatens my mother to sue," Jiang Jingrui opened his mouth. "Jiang Li, your servant girl is too fierce."Jiang Lishi didn't care about him. Jiang Jingrui seemed to have nothing to do all day. In a flash, God came here. Lu Shi is also really strange. Jiang Jingyou manages so well that he is so indulgent to Jiang Jingrui. Is it true that crying children have sugar? The more lawless Jiang Jingrui is, the more no one dares to take care of him? This is also wrong. If Xue Zhao dared to do so, he would have been punished by Xue Huaiyuan and complained endlessly."What's the matter with you?" Jiang Li asked."Three days later is the mid autumn festival night. There is a lantern festival in the evening. Do you want to go to see it?"Jiang Li: "No.""No?" Jiang Jingrui stared at Jiang Li as if looking at a monster. "Why don't you go? There are so many delicious and interesting things at the mid autumn festival night Lantern Festival, and you haven't been there before... Well, you've been there many years ago, and now it's more lively than before. Why don't you go?"Jiang Li said, "I don't want to go." Stand up and go inside. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingrui immediately stood up like a rogue, pestered her in and out and asked, "Jiang Li, you have a problem! The ladies next to you are looking forward to the excitement of the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival every year, but you are good, but you don't go. What's the matter? On that day, everyone in our house will go out. Why don't you stay in the house, play leaf cards with forbidden Jiang Youyao, or copy Buddhist scriptures with your grandmother?"Jiang Li's good temper was a little impatient, and he said, "there's no reason.

Finally, he reluctantly found that Jiang Li didn't seem to want to change his mind, so he had to leave in despair.After Jiang Jingrui left, Jiang Li didn't bask in the yard and went into the house by herself.After Jiang Li entered the house, Bai Xue asked tong'er suspiciously, "why is the girl unhappy?"Tong'er shook his head.

Although they are inconspicuous, they are more fragrant than other bouquets. Under the tree, there are also many broken flowers, from light yellow to golden yellow, and finally into fragrant flower mud, dust to dust, earth to earth.It's Mid Autumn Festival again, Jiang Li thought silently.She recalled that she followed Shen Yurong to Yanjing city for the first time and spent the Mid Autumn Festival in Yanjing city for the first time. The Mid Autumn Festival is a time of reunion. She misses her father and Xue Zhao, who are far away from her hometown, and is always particularly disappointed. Shenyurong took her hand and said to her, "from now on, this is your home. You haven't seen the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in Yanjing City, haven't you? It's no worse than Tongxiang. I'll take you to see it. I'll take you to see it every year in the future. You'll like it here."Shenyurong took her to the Lantern Festival.Unlike small places like Tongxiang, if Tongxiang is simple, natural, warm and lovely, Yanjing city is prosperous, winding, lively and crowded. For the first time she saw so many lanterns, the riddles written by the vendors who guessed the riddles were always extremely simple. She and Shen Yurong always guessed one by one, and the won lanterns could not be taken in their hands, so they were given to the children who met by chance on the roadside.She still remembered that there was a lantern riddle called "thousands of times to find him". She guessed it was "Hope". Shen Yurong whispered in her ear, "this word is like I treat you."He "hoped" for her. At that time, she thought it was true and really believed it, but she didn't know that there was another "death" after the "Hope".He looked forward to his death, so that no one could stop him.Jiang Li clenched her hand into a fist and took a deep breath before slowly loosening her palm.She didn't want to indulge in the memories of the past, but the crueler it became later, the clearer it became. Jiang Jingrui asked her to go out to watch the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, but Jiang Li was afraid that once she went out, there would be memories everywhere and the past everywhere.That's too cruel. She would rather not look at it and always remember the ugly face of the other party. In this way, the warmth and beauty seems not to be broken, so it is sealed underground and never used at the beginning.She won't ask for trouble.In the inn in Yanjing City, the lights of one room are particularly bright.Ye Shijie was sitting in the room, carefully flipping the candlelight center in the lamp, moving. Suddenly, a sound came from the direction of the door behind him, and someone pushed the door open and came in.Ye Shijie stood up and turned his head. His face showed some excitement: "second uncle!"The visitor was a thin, middle-aged man with a gentle appearance. He wore a feather crown, white clothes and two silver ribbons. He looked like a scholar, but there was a shrewd intelligence in his eyes. He closed the door and hurried forward, shouting, "Shijie, you are promising!"He walked up to Ye Shijie and patted Ye Shijie on the shoulder. "I've heard all about you. Many people praised you all the way. That's right. It's a shame for our old Ye parents!"This man is Ye Mingxuan, the second uncle of Ye Shijie and the second master of Ye family in Xiangyang.Ye Shijie looked behind Ye Mingxuan. He didn't see anyone else. He asked suspiciously, "uncle, why are you alone? Where's my father?"Speaking of this, ye Mingxuan frowned slightly, and the joy of just now was slightly diluted. He said, "your grandmother is not well. She fainted at home a few months ago, and now she can't live without people. Xiangyang's business has also had some trouble, not to mention your father, your third uncle has returned to Xiangyang.""What?" Ye Shijie was stunned, "what happened?""It's not a big deal." Ye Mingxuan thought again and patted Ye Shijie on the head. "I came here this time to send you some silver tickets and collect the business of Yanjing city. You are now an official. There are many places where you need silver to manage up and down. Although it is said that money cannot be revealed, you still need to use the place you should use, and our family does not lack this silver."Ye Shijie was still a little uneasy and asked, "uncle, it's really all right? I want to go back and see my grandmother.""You haven't been in office for a long time now. How can you return to Xiangyang for such a long time? It's okay. Your grandmother is not a big problem, and you can stay in Yanjing city at ease. When you stand firm here, it's not difficult for our family to move to Yanjing city. Well, I guess it's going to take you three to five years to get promoted to Sanpin." He touched his chin and thought.Ye Shijie was a little speechless. After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Mingxuan, "second uncle, do you still remember your aunt?"Ye Mingxuan was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Shijie.The Ye family has three sons and a daughter. The only daughter is Ye Zhenzhen, who is also his sister. It's just that this sister's life is thin and she died too early. It's also sad to mention it.Ye Shijie observed Ye Mingxuan's face and said cautiously, "some days ago, I saw my aunt's daughter... Cousin.""Ginger pear?" Ye Mingxuan reacted very quickly and immediately said the name of Jiang Li.Ye Shijie was relieved. Fortunately, ye Mingxuan didn't forget that there was such a person as Jiang Li. Since you still remember, it's much easier to say. Ye Shijie told ye Mingxuan everything about Jiang Li, what Jiang Li said to him, and the rumors about Jiang Li in Yanjing city. He also had a lot of confusion about Jiang Li and couldn't understand it. At present, he finally had a person who could talk about it, and he could talk about it.It was easy to finish. Ye Shijie was already thirsty. He took a sip of tea on the table and said, "uncle, what do you mean by Jiang Li? This is to make up with our Ye family? But she also said at the beginning that she disdained to be with merchants. Now I can't understand it more and more."After all, ye Mingxuan is older than ye Shijie. After hearing Ye Shijie's words, he didn't immediately answer, but thought carefully, Cai said, "I know what you said. It's natural to listen to people's one-sided words in everything. I don't believe Jiang Li, but I can't trust the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family is an official household, the official household is sometimes not as magnanimous as the merchant. I'm afraid it's not Jiang Li's intention, but the Jiang family's guidance behind it. Although we Ye family have nothing to plot, we have to guard against people." Ye Mingxuan knocked on the table and said, "well, find a chance. I want to meet Jiang Li. I'll know if it's true or false.""Second uncle," Ye Shijie asked hesitantly, "Jiang Li's words about her humiliating merchants are not what she meant to say. Do you think it's true?"Ye Mingxuan smiled. When he smiled, the shrewdness of the businessman diluted a lot, and he looked like a scholar again. He said, "it's not impossible. Just, even if someone inspired her to say so behind her back, as long as she was willing to believe us at that time and told the truth in front of us, we could have a way to take her away, but she didn't believe the Ye family.""Maybe she was too young at that time. She was too young to be frightened." Ye Shijie couldn't help saying.Ye Mingxuan didn't speak, but looked at Ye Shijie with a smile, and ye Shijie was uncomfortable. He asked, "what, what?""Nothing." Ye Mingxuan said, "yes, a child is really easy to be bewitched, so it's true. We won't blame her, but we will blame ourselves for not discovering it at the beginning. But now she's not a child. Listen to you, she's a girl with ideas and great courage. This time, she can say her true thoughts and choose whether to believe us.""Everything will be known when we meet." He said.Suguogongfu.In the autumn of the massacre, the garden in the government house is still full of flowers.It seems that there is no depression in autumn and winter in the government house. The flowers of the government house are naturally in full bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Peach blossoms will not bloom in autumn, but there are chrysanthemums in autumn, and lotus flowers will not bloom until winter, but there are also red plums in winter.Of course, ordinary peaches, plums, chrysanthemums and plums cannot enter the eyes of Duke su. The flowers raised by Duke Su are more delicate than most people in Yanjing city. Neither cold nor hot. It's impossible to water too much or bury the soil too shallow. You have to cut branches and catch insects from time to time to find a comfortable position for her. You can't be too narrow or open in space. You can't be scratched by a cat or pecked by a bird.Everyone in the government, from the housekeeper to the bodyguard, down to the pouring of Yexiang, is an expert in raising flowers. If ordinary people can't raise flowers well, go to the gate of the Duke of the state of Su and squat. When the boy goes out in the morning, he will catch one and ask, and keep what he can say.So people ask where Yanjing has the best scenery? It's not Baiyun Mountain, it's not qingdaoguan, it's not in a palace, it's not a boat, it's the government. It is the best colors in the world, which are incompatible with the outside. Some people said that if it weren't for Duke Su's moodiness, no one would dare to provoke him. I'm afraid that people who peek at the Duke's garden every day can overthrow the outer wall of the mansion.It's really beautiful.And I don't know if the place is more beautiful, and the people raised are also beautiful. The servants and bodyguards and thugs in the whole government are all as beautiful as flowers. Although they are not as beautiful as the Duke of the state, if you take them outside, you can probably be fascinated.It's really puzzling.At the moment, someone is talking in the study of Duke su.Kong 61 punched on the table and said in a thick voice, "are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?""No." Ji Heng answered him two words cleanly."Why?" Kong Liu asked, "don't you want to see what happened to Cheng Wang?""It's no use going before he starts." Ji Heng casually said, "it's the same every year. It's boring.""This year, there are plenty of gold." Sitting on the other side of Lu Ji's mouth, he didn't forget to fondle his pointed goatee: "adults don't like watching the theatre very much?""Yes, yes, yes," Kong Liu also said, "JinManTang is much better than the lovesickness class that was popular before naloshi."Ji Heng glanced at him. You know, the lovesickness class that used to be famous in Yanjing city was because of Liu Sheng's popularity, but Liu Sheng, who always sang Dan roles, had a mind that he shouldn't have, and even tried to climb Ji Heng's bed while coming to the government to celebrate the old general's birthday. But Ji Heng was disgusted. Ji Heng broke his leg and threw him out. Together with the Acacia class, he escaped from Yanjing city overnight.It's light to annoy Duke Su and lose his life.The lovesickness troupe disappeared from Yanjing City, and there was no other troupe. Not long ago, there was a golden hall, which was good.Seeing Ji Chen didn't answer, Kong Liu shouted, "if you don't go out, Lu xiaobeard and I have to deal with your business at the national government all night. Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival, Mid Autumn Festival! Ji Chen, the national Lord, adults! Can you be a little human? Beggars have to celebrate the festival!"Lu Ji didn't speak, smiling, but he also echoed Kong Liu's words very much. Ji Xuan looked up at them both for a while and said, "No."Kong Liu vented at once, and was about to refute, when the door suddenly opened, and Ji Heng's grandfather, the old general, came in.In the weather at the end of September, the old general was still shirtless. He should have just returned from sword practice in the yard, and there were bright beads of sweat on his forehead. However, his sword spirit should, as always, spoil a lot of Ji's flowers. Seeing several fallen petals floating on the veteran's head, Lu Ji's eyelids couldn't help jumping. He recognized that the petals looked like the "fragrant snow sea" Ji Heng had bought from foreign businessmen for onethousand liang of silver. These petals were also worth a hundred liang of silver.No wonder the servants of the government always say that the most extravagant is not Ji Heng, but the old general. Such a merciless grandfather, I really don't know how to get along with Ji Heng."Are you going to the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tomorrow?" The old general was very angry, and his voice was loud. Looking at Ji Heng, his eyes were a little sorry, "I originally wanted you to stay in the house to practice swords with me. It was a pity to hear what you said about the Lantern Festival in the house."When Kong Liuzheng was about to say "it's not a pity that Ji Heng won't go again", he heard Ji Heng's regretful voice ring out: "it's really a pity."Kong Liu looked at Ji Chen in surprise. Ji Chen smiled and said calmly, "grandpa can practice alone in the house. It's best to practice in the open space. We'll come back very late when we go out."
