Chapter 122 The Weasel Greets the Chicken 2
Her cheek twitched, and she looked down at the baggy clothes. She slammed the pillow on the bed, rascal!
After being abducted by Zuo Gong in Hou's mansion and Mu Changhuan's experience and lessons in Hou's mansion, Ling Shengge got into her aunt's small pharmacy and started refining medicine after her aunt got out of bed.
Xiaoyue Lingdang and Mu Zhi don’t know what’s wrong with the lady, why she suddenly became obsessed after the sunflower water came, besides going to see the eldest lady every day and learning kung fu with Cheng Manman who comes to the house from time to time, the lady has never done that practice pharmacy.
After returning from Fengshan, Ling Ruozhi took seven or eight days to heal the wounds on her body. Although there were still some light scars, the fourth sister told her that she would apply medicine every day and it would disappear soon.
The news that she was caught by the cult members in Fengshan did not spread. After all, it was the invitation from the crown prince, the last thing anyone wanted to know was His Highness the crown prince.
Although the rumors did not spread, Ling Ruozhi was not at ease in her heart, she would always think about Lu Lingzhao saying that she would come to propose marriage, and she would always be frowning.
Lu Lingzhao saved her twice, but she was grateful to him but didn't want to marry him.She knew her identity as a concubine, even though her father was Marquis of Dingyuan, she could be a regular wife if she married an ordinary family, but a family like Shang Shufu would not allow a concubine to marry a concubine.
Lu Lingzhao's grandfather was Lu Ge Lao, his father was the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was the eldest son of the family. Only if she was crazy would she think that what he said about coming to the Hou's mansion to propose marriage was true.
Regardless of whether he broke his sleeve or not, she would not marry him, but when she thought of his serious expression that day, she felt very confused.
"Miss, you have been in the room for a whole day, go out for a walk!" Hongcai and Hongyue found that the lady was often in a daze as if she was a different person after returning home.
Ling Ruozhi found herself staring at the handkerchief she was embroidering, and she stood up after putting down the handkerchief.
"Go and see Fourth Sister. I don't know what she's busy with these days?"
Ling Ruozhi went out with Hongcai and Hongyue, but before she got to Shenglanyuan, she heard someone calling her.
"Big sister!" Ling Ruiyang came over from a distance.
"Brother Yang, run slowly." Ling Ruozhi took out a handkerchief and wiped Ling Ruiyang's forehead, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
"Big Sister, Big Brother Lu is here!" Ling Ruiyang looked at Ling Ruozhi with a mysterious expression.
Ling Ruozhi's heart skipped a beat, "Who's here?"
"Brother Lu Lingzhao Lu!"
"What is he here for?" Ling Ruozhi grabbed Ling Ruiyang's arm nervously.
"It seems to be here to propose a marriage!"
Ling Ruozhi was a little flustered, "Where's dad? Is he at the house?"
"Eldest sister, what's the matter with you?" Ling Ruiyang saw Ling Ruozhi's expression was not good, "Eldest sister, don't worry, father scolded him away, father said that elder sister can't marry a broken sleeve when she marries anyone."
Ling Ruozhi breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Lu Lingzhao broke his sleeves or not, she never thought of marrying him.
"Brother Yang, accompany eldest sister to father's study."
"Oh!" Ling Ruiyang dragged Ling Ruozhi to the front yard.
At this time, Ling Tao just dropped a set of tea sets and sat on a chair to get angry.
"Father, what are you doing so angry? It's not good for your health." Ling Ruichen asked people to take away the fragments of the teacup on the ground.
Ling Tao stretched out his hand and pinched his forehead, "Did that kid from the Lu family come to humiliate me on purpose? To marry Zhi'er? How can he, a manly guy, have the right to marry my daughter from Ling Tao? I'm so mad at him. Not because of his father's face, I really want to kill him."
"Father, he saved the eldest sister after all when he went to Fengshan. It's not good for you to scold him like that just now."
Ling Ruichen didn't want to make his father even more angry, but just now his father scolded Lu Lingzhao no less than twenty times, and Lu Lingzhao's face turned black.
Ling Tao slapped the chair with his palm, and he shattered the armrest.
"Who made him covet Zhi'er?"
The corner of Ling Ruichen's mouth twitched. In his father's eyes, the younger sisters in the family were all treasures. There were probably few people in this world who could make his father willingly marry his daughter.Even his father, the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment, doesn't like him, and his sister's marriage is also difficult.
Suddenly thought of Zhenbei General Dongfang Ji, the person his father can admire is really amazing.
There was a knock on the door outside, followed by Ling Ruiyang's voice.
"Father, big sister is here!"
Ling Tao frowned, "Why is Zhi'er here? Who told her?"
Ling Ruiyang outside the door shrank his neck, "Sister, I'll leave first!"
Ling Ruozhi shook her head when she saw Ling Ruiyang running away like a rabbit. The younger brother saw her father like a mouse saw a cat.
"Father, can my daughter come in?"
"Come in!" Ling Tao took a deep breath, afraid that his appearance would scare his daughter.
Among his four daughters, the eldest daughter is the most well-behaved and obedient, and has never made him worry about it these years.Although the eldest daughter is a concubine, he has never underestimated her. In the past two years, he has been most worried about his daughter's marriage. Now that Ruozhi is 17 years old, he hasn't found a suitable family for her yet.
Ling Ruozhi walked into the study and saw her elder brother was there, after the brother and sister exchanged a look, Ling Ruozhi felt a little uncertain.
"Father, my daughter came to you today to discuss something with you."
Ling Tao thought that Ling Ruozhi came to ask about Lu Lingzhao, but from Ling Ruozhi's appearance, it seemed that she came for something else.
"Zhi'er, tell me, dad will make the decisions for you."
There was no outsider in the room. Ling Ruozhi twitched her eyelashes, "Father, find a more ordinary family and let your daughter marry her!"
Ling Tao frowned, Ling Ruichen was also a little surprised.
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Ling Ruozhi's expression remained unchanged, "Don't worry, brother, my sister thinks clearly."
Ling Tao's heart suddenly calmed down, "Tell me, Zhi'er, how ordinary do you want?"
Seeing that her father was not angry, Ling Ruozhi said, "My parents are kind, my brothers and sisters in my family can respect and love each other, and I don't want to be high and powerful. I just hope that I can be treated better as a wife."
"Zhi'er only has such a simple request?"
"Yes!" Ling Ruozhi looked at Ling Tao, "Father, if there is a suitable one, decide it!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ling Tao narrowed his eyes, "How could it be possible for my Ling Tao's daughter to settle for someone casually? You should go back first, father knows this matter well."
Ling Ruozhi nodded, "The daughter is going back first!"
"I'll take you back." Ling Ruichen followed Ling Ruozhi out of the study, "Sister, do you know that Lu Lingzhao came to propose marriage?"
Ling Ruozhi glanced at Ling Ruichen, "Brother Yang told me everything."
"Having been with him for so many years, his character is very good."
"Brother, whether he is good or not, I can't be with him."
"What if he doesn't have broken sleeves?" Ling Ruichen's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Ling Ruozhi, "I mean if."
Ling Ruozhi looked up at him, "That day he saved me twice, once when I fell from the horse, and once when the cult member hurt me, if he didn't break my sleeve, then my innocence would be gone, before marriage Even if his innocence is damaged, he can only be a concubine if he marries into the Shangshu Mansion. Brother, no matter whether he has broken sleeves or not, he has to be a concubine now, and my sister doesn't want to be a concubine."
Veins popped up on Ling Ruichen's forehead, his sister was no worse than anyone else, only the status of this concubine was a hurdle that hindered her happiness.
Ling Ruozhi saw that her brother understood what she meant, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family will not be me, my sister just wants to find an ordinary family to be her husband and godson, and spend her whole life with her husband with respect as a guest."
"Brother will help you to pay attention. There are many good men in Baishan Academy who are motivated even though they have no rights in their families. You will meet them when you enter Anlan Academy."
Ling Ruozhi nodded, she just wanted to marry a husband who treats her well and takes her into consideration. Sometimes she even hopes that her future husband will allow her to visit her mother's house from time to time after she gets married. She really hates her aunt .
It was only at night that Ling Shengge found out that her father had scolded the young master of the Lu family away. While eating, she thought, didn't Cheng Manman say that Lu Lingzhao might not have broken sleeves? A few of these are out.
Her father is really brave, he just scolded him out of the house, I don't know if Lu Shangshu will blame her father if he finds out.
"Miss, from this point of view, the servant girl is still the most powerful general. Not only has he been appreciated by Lord Hou, but he has also made him willing to betroth the lady to him. We didn't witness Lord Hou get angry today. Uncle Ling Dong said that when Master Lu was scolded away The black ones can be used as charcoal." Xiao Yue gossips aside.
Ling Shengge laughed out loud, "Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain. Uncle Ling Dong even tells you such things, and he is not afraid of spreading them to my father's ears."
"Miss, don't you think Mr. Lu likes Mr. Cheng? Why do you suddenly think of coming here to beg for marriage and marry the eldest lady? Is he broken sleeves?"
Ling Shengge rubbed his chin, "It doesn't matter whether he has broken sleeves or not, even if he is not, he is not a good match for big sister."
"Why?" Ling Dang and Xiao Yue didn't understand.
Ling Shengge thought for a while, "Intuition."
When Lu Lingzhao was mentioned, she thought of that girl Cheng Manman. Cheng Manman was so obsessed with Lu Lingzhao that she no longer cared whether he had broken his sleeve or not. If the eldest sister really had something to do with Lu Lingzhao, Cheng Manman might not be able to pass this test.
Knocking on the head, Ling Shengge recalled the princes from aristocratic families he had met after returning to Ling'an City, but he didn't know what type her elder sister liked?
The matter of Fengshan is in the past, and the horses pulling the carts in the Hou Mansion are crazy. The autopsy has not found out, and how the people from the cult were blocked into Fengshan, and how one of them died is a mystery. .
The results of the investigation have not come out, but An Lan Academy, which is next to Baishan Academy, has started school.
Baishan Academy was established a few years after Emperor Tan ascended the throne. In the past ten years, Baishan Academy has become the most famous institution in Jin State, and has provided a lot of backbone for the imperial court over the years.
Ling Ruichen and Ling Ruize have been studying at Baishan Academy, and now Ling Ruichen is being taught by Kang Daru himself. Ling Tao is very satisfied with his son's outstanding performance.
November is coming soon, Ling Shengge was woken up early, and went to find Ling Ruozhi after washing up and having breakfast.
You can't take maids with you to the academy, so Xiaoyue and Lingdang sent Ling Shengge into the carriage with great reluctance, and didn't turn around until the carriage was gone.
Ling Ruozhi doesn't like bright colors very much, so today she wore a white soft smoky round-neck gown, a lotus leaf skirt that stretched across the floor, and a white jade hairpin on her head. Light but clean and fresh makes people feel very comfortable.
Ling Shengge's clothes are the same style as Ling Ruozhi's, but they are bright yellow. Before she can get her long hair, she is wearing a long ponytail. There is a small yellow gemstone pendant hanging on her forehead, as if she has tapped on it. Beautiful heart-shaped tassels.
The two sisters sat in the carriage and guessed what Anlan Academy was like. Generally, girls of Ling Ruozhi's age were already engaged to their husband's family, and even earlier, they were married and had children. Ling Ruozhi always felt that she was so It's embarrassing to go to the academy at an older age.
"Sister, you are only 17 years old. You should study hard at this age!" Ling Shengge thought that when he was 20 years old, he was still studying in college, and it was good for his eldest sister to learn things at only [-] years old.
Ling Ruozhi smiled, "I don't know what the academy looks like?"
Ling Shengge thought for a while, "A lot of girls gather together, it should be more lively than at home!"
The two sisters sat in the car and chatted for a while when they heard a quarrel outside the carriage, and the carriage stopped.
"What happened?" Ling Ruozhi asked.
The guards of the Hou Mansion rode over, "Miss Si, Miss Si, in front is the carriage of Cheng Yushi's family. It seems that the carriage of Shangshu Su's family from the Ministry of Works bumped into each other. The carriages of the two families blocked the road and were arguing. the other party's responsibility."
Ling Shengge glanced at Ling Ruozhi, "What should I do?"
Ling Ruozhi's eyes darkened, "Is there another way to go?"
"Miss, if you take a detour, you will have to walk a long way. I'm afraid it will be too late to go to the academy."
Ling Shengge put on the veil and pushed open the car door, "I'll go and have a look."
"Sister!" Ling Ruozhi put on her veil and got out of the carriage.
At this time, many people were watching, and none of the servants of the Cheng family and the Su family would show weakness and yelled at each other that it was the fault of the other party for the bumping of the carriage.
The door of the Cheng family's carriage opened, and Cheng Manman jumped out of the car, "Stop arguing, is your Su family still unreasonable? My carriage is moving forward, is it reasonable for you to suddenly rush out and bump into it? If Miss Ben I can't forgive you for being late today."
"Manman." Ling Shengge called out to Cheng Manman standing in front of the Su family's carriage with wide-eyed hands pinching her waist.
"Sheng'er, sister Zhi'er."
"What's going on?" Ling Ruozhi saw that there was no movement in the Su family's carriage.
Cheng Manman glanced at the carriage with a look of disdain, "Dare to do it or not, it's a shame!"
"Who are you saying is wrong?" The people in the carriage couldn't bear it anymore, a girl opened the door and jumped out regardless of the other person's stop.
"Yo, isn't this the fourth miss of the Su family? You came out to pay for the money?" Cheng Manman looked down at Su Wan, the fourth miss of the Su family.
"Cheng Manman, you tigress, it's obvious that your carriage rushed out suddenly and caused us to run into it. My second sister just had a swollen forehead and didn't ask you for an argument. You should complain to the villain first. It's unreasonable. Do you think you will be so violent?" Can you bear it? Who is afraid of you?"
"Wan'er, forget it!" A gentle voice came from the carriage, "I'll pay you some money and let Miss Cheng go first!"
Su Wan glared at Cheng Manman when she heard what the people in the carriage said, "Tigress!"
Cheng Manman frowned, "Learn from your sister, I am a tigress and you are a she-wolf."
"Cheng Manman, don't bully people too much!" Su Wan looked dissatisfied.
"Who is bullying too much? If you can scold me, don't let me say you? Does your father know that you are so domineering?"
"Manman!" Ling Ruozhi pulled Cheng Manman back, "Since Miss Su has said so, everyone will give in, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be late."
Although Ling Shengge felt that Su Wan's attitude was not good, Cheng Manman was a bit too domineering. The Miss Su in the carriage was a reasonable person, and it was better to make peace than make trouble at this time.
"Manman, please ride in the same carriage with us, let's go!" Ling Shengge pulled Cheng Manman to the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
Cheng Manman snorted at Su Wan and got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
The two ladies did not pursue the matter, and the servants misplaced the carriage and drove away. The Cheng family's carriage was a little damaged and rushed back to repair it. Fortunately, the Su family's carriage did not delay the journey.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Manman was so angry that he drank two glasses of water, "If you hadn't dragged me, I would have taught that stinky girl a lesson today."
"Manman, what's the grudge between you and that fourth Miss of the Su family?" Ling Shengge peeled an apple for her.
Cheng Manman took the apple and took a bite, "Half a year ago my mother asked a matchmaker to go to the Su family to propose marriage. It's fine if the Su family disagreed, but she also secretly said that my brother, toad, wants to eat swan meat. Pooh!"
Ling Shengge blinked, "Which brother will your mother propose to you?"
"My elder brother!" Cheng Manman bit the apple bitterly, "Since then, every time Su Wan saw me, she would be sarcastic. If it wasn't for fear of my mother getting angry, I really wanted to beat her up."
Ling Shengge and Ling Ruozhi looked at each other and fell silent.
Thinking of Lu Lingzhao's father scolding her like a grandson when she went to the Hou's mansion to propose marriage, they could imagine the scene where the Cheng family sent someone to the Su family to propose marriage.
If you say that Lu Lingzhao and Cheng Zijin are good friends, they are one in a million in terms of family history and appearance, but it's a pity...the reputation is really bad.
Cheng Manman was still arguing for her elder brother, Ling Shengge really didn't want to hit her.
If Cheng Zijin went to the Hou's mansion to propose a marriage, her father would probably be less honorable than the Su family.
On the other side of the Su family's carriage, Su Wan still looked unhappy, watching her sister Su Wan who was sitting next to her grabbed Su Han's arm.
"Sister, why did you let that tigress Cheng Manman?"
Su Han glanced at her indifferently, "She is a household name in Ling'an City, don't you want to be famous with her?"
Su Wan pouted, "The Cheng family's reputation is worse than the other. Cheng Zijin's broken sleeve, Cheng Zimo's little overlord, Cheng Manman's tigress, I really don't know how Cheng Yushi teaches."
Su Han's expression paused slightly, and the laughing appearance of that person appeared in his mind.
"Don't talk about the Cheng family in the future, especially don't quarrel with Cheng Manman in the academy."
Su Wan looked unhappy, "Got it!"
Both Anlan Academy and Baishan Academy are built in Xiaobai Mountain in the south of Ling'an City. It is about a dozen miles away from Ling'an City. The road is very smooth. There are white stone piers on both sides of the road. There are famous calligraphy on each pier. Home's autograph inscription.
At the beginning of the construction of Anlan Academy, Emperor Tan decreed to conduct a women's exam across the country. All school-age girls who are outstanding in various talents can take the exam, regardless of their status, high or low.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the academy. Ling Shengge, Ling Ruozhi and Cheng Manman got out of the carriage and saw the carriages of various houses around them, and saw many acquaintances.
In addition to the ladies from various houses, there are also many girls who are dressed in ordinary clothes, and they should all be admitted based on their ability.
The appearance of groups of girls made the students of Baishan Academy next door feel itchy. They sat in the academy and listened to the great Confucian lectures, and they didn't know where their hearts went.
The corners of Lu Lingzhao's lips were still green. After he returned from Fengshan, he told his father that he was going to marry Linghou's eldest daughter, and was locked up by his father for several days. He finally ran out of the house to the Hou's mansion to propose marriage and was arrested by Linghou. He was kicked out of the mansion after being scolded, and was caught and beaten by his father. If his mother hadn't stopped him, his father would probably have broken his legs by now.
He was listless in the academy these days, so he couldn't figure out why his father didn't let him marry a concubine, what happened to the concubine?Are there fewer concubines and concubines in their Lu family?
Besides, even the concubine of the Hou's mansion, Lord Hou, didn't take a fancy to him. His father thought that he was very willing to marry him.
Cheng Zijin also saw that Lu Lingzhao was rather annoying these days, and there was probably no one else who could annoy Lu Lingzhao except that big girl from the Ling family!
Seeing Kang Daru go out, Cheng Zijin ran to Lu Lingzhao, "Hey, let's go to the academy next door."
Lu Lingzhao glared at him, "Look at what?"
"Look at the eldest girl of the Ling family in your heart! Didn't you always want to see her, and now the two academies are only separated by that wall, so you can see her whenever you want."
Lu Lingzhao's eyes turned cold, "Don't come up with bad ideas, you are not afraid of ruining the girl's reputation in public."
Cheng Zijin rubbed his chin, "Be kind enough to be treated like a donkey. The students in Baishan Academy are better than each other. After all, the eldest daughter of the Ling family is the eldest daughter of Lord Hou. There are many men who want to marry her. Be careful not to be robbed by others." first."
Lu Lingzhao got up and walked out upset. He naturally knew how good Ling Ruozhi was, but what worried him most now was not his parents' opposition, but Ling Hou's prejudice against him.
When the other students saw Lu Lingzhao leaving, they unanimously glanced at Cheng Zijin.
Cheng Zijin twitched his mouth and stood up, "Ling Zhao, wait for me!"
The corners of the students' mouths twitched, they are still as good as ever!
Ling Ruichen frowned. No wonder his father didn't like Lu Lingzhao. Lu Lingzhao and Cheng Zijin had been together since childhood, and their relationship was indeed misleading.
(End of this chapter)
Her cheek twitched, and she looked down at the baggy clothes. She slammed the pillow on the bed, rascal!
After being abducted by Zuo Gong in Hou's mansion and Mu Changhuan's experience and lessons in Hou's mansion, Ling Shengge got into her aunt's small pharmacy and started refining medicine after her aunt got out of bed.
Xiaoyue Lingdang and Mu Zhi don’t know what’s wrong with the lady, why she suddenly became obsessed after the sunflower water came, besides going to see the eldest lady every day and learning kung fu with Cheng Manman who comes to the house from time to time, the lady has never done that practice pharmacy.
After returning from Fengshan, Ling Ruozhi took seven or eight days to heal the wounds on her body. Although there were still some light scars, the fourth sister told her that she would apply medicine every day and it would disappear soon.
The news that she was caught by the cult members in Fengshan did not spread. After all, it was the invitation from the crown prince, the last thing anyone wanted to know was His Highness the crown prince.
Although the rumors did not spread, Ling Ruozhi was not at ease in her heart, she would always think about Lu Lingzhao saying that she would come to propose marriage, and she would always be frowning.
Lu Lingzhao saved her twice, but she was grateful to him but didn't want to marry him.She knew her identity as a concubine, even though her father was Marquis of Dingyuan, she could be a regular wife if she married an ordinary family, but a family like Shang Shufu would not allow a concubine to marry a concubine.

Regardless of whether he broke his sleeve or not, she would not marry him, but when she thought of his serious expression that day, she felt very confused.
"Miss, you have been in the room for a whole day, go out for a walk!" Hongcai and Hongyue found that the lady was often in a daze as if she was a different person after returning home.
Ling Ruozhi found herself staring at the handkerchief she was embroidering, and she stood up after putting down the handkerchief.
"Go and see Fourth Sister. I don't know what she's busy with these days?"
Ling Ruozhi went out with Hongcai and Hongyue, but before she got to Shenglanyuan, she heard someone calling her.
"Big sister!" Ling Ruiyang came over from a distance.
"Brother Yang, run slowly." Ling Ruozhi took out a handkerchief and wiped Ling Ruiyang's forehead, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
"Big Sister, Big Brother Lu is here!" Ling Ruiyang looked at Ling Ruozhi with a mysterious expression.
Ling Ruozhi's heart skipped a beat, "Who's here?"
"Brother Lu Lingzhao Lu!"
"What is he here for?" Ling Ruozhi grabbed Ling Ruiyang's arm nervously.
"It seems to be here to propose a marriage!"
Ling Ruozhi was a little flustered, "Where's dad? Is he at the house?"
"Eldest sister, what's the matter with you?" Ling Ruiyang saw Ling Ruozhi's expression was not good, "Eldest sister, don't worry, father scolded him away, father said that elder sister can't marry a broken sleeve when she marries anyone."
Ling Ruozhi breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether Lu Lingzhao broke his sleeves or not, she never thought of marrying him.
"Brother Yang, accompany eldest sister to father's study."
"Oh!" Ling Ruiyang dragged Ling Ruozhi to the front yard.
At this time, Ling Tao just dropped a set of tea sets and sat on a chair to get angry.
"Father, what are you doing so angry? It's not good for your health." Ling Ruichen asked people to take away the fragments of the teacup on the ground.
Ling Tao stretched out his hand and pinched his forehead, "Did that kid from the Lu family come to humiliate me on purpose? To marry Zhi'er? How can he, a manly guy, have the right to marry my daughter from Ling Tao? I'm so mad at him. Not because of his father's face, I really want to kill him."
"Father, he saved the eldest sister after all when he went to Fengshan. It's not good for you to scold him like that just now."
Ling Ruichen didn't want to make his father even more angry, but just now his father scolded Lu Lingzhao no less than twenty times, and Lu Lingzhao's face turned black.
Ling Tao slapped the chair with his palm, and he shattered the armrest.
"Who made him covet Zhi'er?"
The corner of Ling Ruichen's mouth twitched. In his father's eyes, the younger sisters in the family were all treasures. There were probably few people in this world who could make his father willingly marry his daughter.Even his father, the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment, doesn't like him, and his sister's marriage is also difficult.
Suddenly thought of Zhenbei General Dongfang Ji, the person his father can admire is really amazing.
There was a knock on the door outside, followed by Ling Ruiyang's voice.
"Father, big sister is here!"
Ling Tao frowned, "Why is Zhi'er here? Who told her?"
Ling Ruiyang outside the door shrank his neck, "Sister, I'll leave first!"
Ling Ruozhi shook her head when she saw Ling Ruiyang running away like a rabbit. The younger brother saw her father like a mouse saw a cat.
"Father, can my daughter come in?"
"Come in!" Ling Tao took a deep breath, afraid that his appearance would scare his daughter.
Among his four daughters, the eldest daughter is the most well-behaved and obedient, and has never made him worry about it these years.Although the eldest daughter is a concubine, he has never underestimated her. In the past two years, he has been most worried about his daughter's marriage. Now that Ruozhi is 17 years old, he hasn't found a suitable family for her yet.
Ling Ruozhi walked into the study and saw her elder brother was there, after the brother and sister exchanged a look, Ling Ruozhi felt a little uncertain.
"Father, my daughter came to you today to discuss something with you."
Ling Tao thought that Ling Ruozhi came to ask about Lu Lingzhao, but from Ling Ruozhi's appearance, it seemed that she came for something else.
"Zhi'er, tell me, dad will make the decisions for you."
There was no outsider in the room. Ling Ruozhi twitched her eyelashes, "Father, find a more ordinary family and let your daughter marry her!"

Seeing that her father was not angry, Ling Ruozhi said, "My parents are kind, my brothers and sisters in my family can respect and love each other, and I don't want to be high and powerful. I just hope that I can be treated better as a wife."
"Zhi'er only has such a simple request?"
"Yes!" Ling Ruozhi looked at Ling Tao, "Father, if there is a suitable one, decide it!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ling Tao narrowed his eyes, "How could it be possible for my Ling Tao's daughter to settle for someone casually? You should go back first, father knows this matter well."
Ling Ruozhi nodded, "The daughter is going back first!"
"I'll take you back." Ling Ruichen followed Ling Ruozhi out of the study, "Sister, do you know that Lu Lingzhao came to propose marriage?"
Ling Ruozhi glanced at Ling Ruichen, "Brother Yang told me everything."
"Having been with him for so many years, his character is very good."
"Brother, whether he is good or not, I can't be with him."
"What if he doesn't have broken sleeves?" Ling Ruichen's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Ling Ruozhi, "I mean if."
Ling Ruozhi looked up at him, "That day he saved me twice, once when I fell from the horse, and once when the cult member hurt me, if he didn't break my sleeve, then my innocence would be gone, before marriage Even if his innocence is damaged, he can only be a concubine if he marries into the Shangshu Mansion. Brother, no matter whether he has broken sleeves or not, he has to be a concubine now, and my sister doesn't want to be a concubine."
Veins popped up on Ling Ruichen's forehead, his sister was no worse than anyone else, only the status of this concubine was a hurdle that hindered her happiness.
Ling Ruozhi saw that her brother understood what she meant, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family will not be me, my sister just wants to find an ordinary family to be her husband and godson, and spend her whole life with her husband with respect as a guest."
"Brother will help you to pay attention. There are many good men in Baishan Academy who are motivated even though they have no rights in their families. You will meet them when you enter Anlan Academy."
Ling Ruozhi nodded, she just wanted to marry a husband who treats her well and takes her into consideration. Sometimes she even hopes that her future husband will allow her to visit her mother's house from time to time after she gets married. She really hates her aunt .
It was only at night that Ling Shengge found out that her father had scolded the young master of the Lu family away. While eating, she thought, didn't Cheng Manman say that Lu Lingzhao might not have broken sleeves? A few of these are out.
Her father is really brave, he just scolded him out of the house, I don't know if Lu Shangshu will blame her father if he finds out.
"Miss, from this point of view, the servant girl is still the most powerful general. Not only has he been appreciated by Lord Hou, but he has also made him willing to betroth the lady to him. We didn't witness Lord Hou get angry today. Uncle Ling Dong said that when Master Lu was scolded away The black ones can be used as charcoal." Xiao Yue gossips aside.
Ling Shengge laughed out loud, "Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain. Uncle Ling Dong even tells you such things, and he is not afraid of spreading them to my father's ears."
"Miss, don't you think Mr. Lu likes Mr. Cheng? Why do you suddenly think of coming here to beg for marriage and marry the eldest lady? Is he broken sleeves?"
Ling Shengge rubbed his chin, "It doesn't matter whether he has broken sleeves or not, even if he is not, he is not a good match for big sister."
"Why?" Ling Dang and Xiao Yue didn't understand.
Ling Shengge thought for a while, "Intuition."
When Lu Lingzhao was mentioned, she thought of that girl Cheng Manman. Cheng Manman was so obsessed with Lu Lingzhao that she no longer cared whether he had broken his sleeve or not. If the eldest sister really had something to do with Lu Lingzhao, Cheng Manman might not be able to pass this test.
Knocking on the head, Ling Shengge recalled the princes from aristocratic families he had met after returning to Ling'an City, but he didn't know what type her elder sister liked?
The matter of Fengshan is in the past, and the horses pulling the carts in the Hou Mansion are crazy. The autopsy has not found out, and how the people from the cult were blocked into Fengshan, and how one of them died is a mystery. .
The results of the investigation have not come out, but An Lan Academy, which is next to Baishan Academy, has started school.
Baishan Academy was established a few years after Emperor Tan ascended the throne. In the past ten years, Baishan Academy has become the most famous institution in Jin State, and has provided a lot of backbone for the imperial court over the years.
Ling Ruichen and Ling Ruize have been studying at Baishan Academy, and now Ling Ruichen is being taught by Kang Daru himself. Ling Tao is very satisfied with his son's outstanding performance.
November is coming soon, Ling Shengge was woken up early, and went to find Ling Ruozhi after washing up and having breakfast.
You can't take maids with you to the academy, so Xiaoyue and Lingdang sent Ling Shengge into the carriage with great reluctance, and didn't turn around until the carriage was gone.
Ling Ruozhi doesn't like bright colors very much, so today she wore a white soft smoky round-neck gown, a lotus leaf skirt that stretched across the floor, and a white jade hairpin on her head. Light but clean and fresh makes people feel very comfortable.
Ling Shengge's clothes are the same style as Ling Ruozhi's, but they are bright yellow. Before she can get her long hair, she is wearing a long ponytail. There is a small yellow gemstone pendant hanging on her forehead, as if she has tapped on it. Beautiful heart-shaped tassels.
The two sisters sat in the carriage and guessed what Anlan Academy was like. Generally, girls of Ling Ruozhi's age were already engaged to their husband's family, and even earlier, they were married and had children. Ling Ruozhi always felt that she was so It's embarrassing to go to the academy at an older age.
"Sister, you are only 17 years old. You should study hard at this age!" Ling Shengge thought that when he was 20 years old, he was still studying in college, and it was good for his eldest sister to learn things at only [-] years old.
Ling Ruozhi smiled, "I don't know what the academy looks like?"
Ling Shengge thought for a while, "A lot of girls gather together, it should be more lively than at home!"
The two sisters sat in the car and chatted for a while when they heard a quarrel outside the carriage, and the carriage stopped.
"What happened?" Ling Ruozhi asked.
The guards of the Hou Mansion rode over, "Miss Si, Miss Si, in front is the carriage of Cheng Yushi's family. It seems that the carriage of Shangshu Su's family from the Ministry of Works bumped into each other. The carriages of the two families blocked the road and were arguing. the other party's responsibility."
Ling Shengge glanced at Ling Ruozhi, "What should I do?"
Ling Ruozhi's eyes darkened, "Is there another way to go?"
"Miss, if you take a detour, you will have to walk a long way. I'm afraid it will be too late to go to the academy."
Ling Shengge put on the veil and pushed open the car door, "I'll go and have a look."
"Sister!" Ling Ruozhi put on her veil and got out of the carriage.
At this time, many people were watching, and none of the servants of the Cheng family and the Su family would show weakness and yelled at each other that it was the fault of the other party for the bumping of the carriage.
The door of the Cheng family's carriage opened, and Cheng Manman jumped out of the car, "Stop arguing, is your Su family still unreasonable? My carriage is moving forward, is it reasonable for you to suddenly rush out and bump into it? If Miss Ben I can't forgive you for being late today."
"Manman." Ling Shengge called out to Cheng Manman standing in front of the Su family's carriage with wide-eyed hands pinching her waist.
"Sheng'er, sister Zhi'er."
"What's going on?" Ling Ruozhi saw that there was no movement in the Su family's carriage.
Cheng Manman glanced at the carriage with a look of disdain, "Dare to do it or not, it's a shame!"
"Who are you saying is wrong?" The people in the carriage couldn't bear it anymore, a girl opened the door and jumped out regardless of the other person's stop.
"Yo, isn't this the fourth miss of the Su family? You came out to pay for the money?" Cheng Manman looked down at Su Wan, the fourth miss of the Su family.
"Cheng Manman, you tigress, it's obvious that your carriage rushed out suddenly and caused us to run into it. My second sister just had a swollen forehead and didn't ask you for an argument. You should complain to the villain first. It's unreasonable. Do you think you will be so violent?" Can you bear it? Who is afraid of you?"
"Wan'er, forget it!" A gentle voice came from the carriage, "I'll pay you some money and let Miss Cheng go first!"
Su Wan glared at Cheng Manman when she heard what the people in the carriage said, "Tigress!"
Cheng Manman frowned, "Learn from your sister, I am a tigress and you are a she-wolf."
"Cheng Manman, don't bully people too much!" Su Wan looked dissatisfied.
"Who is bullying too much? If you can scold me, don't let me say you? Does your father know that you are so domineering?"
"Manman!" Ling Ruozhi pulled Cheng Manman back, "Since Miss Su has said so, everyone will give in, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be late."
Although Ling Shengge felt that Su Wan's attitude was not good, Cheng Manman was a bit too domineering. The Miss Su in the carriage was a reasonable person, and it was better to make peace than make trouble at this time.
"Manman, please ride in the same carriage with us, let's go!" Ling Shengge pulled Cheng Manman to the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
Cheng Manman snorted at Su Wan and got into the carriage of the Hou Mansion.
The two ladies did not pursue the matter, and the servants misplaced the carriage and drove away. The Cheng family's carriage was a little damaged and rushed back to repair it. Fortunately, the Su family's carriage did not delay the journey.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Manman was so angry that he drank two glasses of water, "If you hadn't dragged me, I would have taught that stinky girl a lesson today."
"Manman, what's the grudge between you and that fourth Miss of the Su family?" Ling Shengge peeled an apple for her.
Cheng Manman took the apple and took a bite, "Half a year ago my mother asked a matchmaker to go to the Su family to propose marriage. It's fine if the Su family disagreed, but she also secretly said that my brother, toad, wants to eat swan meat. Pooh!"
Ling Shengge blinked, "Which brother will your mother propose to you?"
"My elder brother!" Cheng Manman bit the apple bitterly, "Since then, every time Su Wan saw me, she would be sarcastic. If it wasn't for fear of my mother getting angry, I really wanted to beat her up."
Ling Shengge and Ling Ruozhi looked at each other and fell silent.
Thinking of Lu Lingzhao's father scolding her like a grandson when she went to the Hou's mansion to propose marriage, they could imagine the scene where the Cheng family sent someone to the Su family to propose marriage.
If you say that Lu Lingzhao and Cheng Zijin are good friends, they are one in a million in terms of family history and appearance, but it's a pity...the reputation is really bad.
Cheng Manman was still arguing for her elder brother, Ling Shengge really didn't want to hit her.
If Cheng Zijin went to the Hou's mansion to propose a marriage, her father would probably be less honorable than the Su family.
On the other side of the Su family's carriage, Su Wan still looked unhappy, watching her sister Su Wan who was sitting next to her grabbed Su Han's arm.
"Sister, why did you let that tigress Cheng Manman?"
Su Han glanced at her indifferently, "She is a household name in Ling'an City, don't you want to be famous with her?"
Su Wan pouted, "The Cheng family's reputation is worse than the other. Cheng Zijin's broken sleeve, Cheng Zimo's little overlord, Cheng Manman's tigress, I really don't know how Cheng Yushi teaches."
Su Han's expression paused slightly, and the laughing appearance of that person appeared in his mind.
"Don't talk about the Cheng family in the future, especially don't quarrel with Cheng Manman in the academy."
Su Wan looked unhappy, "Got it!"
Both Anlan Academy and Baishan Academy are built in Xiaobai Mountain in the south of Ling'an City. It is about a dozen miles away from Ling'an City. The road is very smooth. There are white stone piers on both sides of the road. There are famous calligraphy on each pier. Home's autograph inscription.
At the beginning of the construction of Anlan Academy, Emperor Tan decreed to conduct a women's exam across the country. All school-age girls who are outstanding in various talents can take the exam, regardless of their status, high or low.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the academy. Ling Shengge, Ling Ruozhi and Cheng Manman got out of the carriage and saw the carriages of various houses around them, and saw many acquaintances.
In addition to the ladies from various houses, there are also many girls who are dressed in ordinary clothes, and they should all be admitted based on their ability.
The appearance of groups of girls made the students of Baishan Academy next door feel itchy. They sat in the academy and listened to the great Confucian lectures, and they didn't know where their hearts went.
The corners of Lu Lingzhao's lips were still green. After he returned from Fengshan, he told his father that he was going to marry Linghou's eldest daughter, and was locked up by his father for several days. He finally ran out of the house to the Hou's mansion to propose marriage and was arrested by Linghou. He was kicked out of the mansion after being scolded, and was caught and beaten by his father. If his mother hadn't stopped him, his father would probably have broken his legs by now.
He was listless in the academy these days, so he couldn't figure out why his father didn't let him marry a concubine, what happened to the concubine?Are there fewer concubines and concubines in their Lu family?
Besides, even the concubine of the Hou's mansion, Lord Hou, didn't take a fancy to him. His father thought that he was very willing to marry him.
Cheng Zijin also saw that Lu Lingzhao was rather annoying these days, and there was probably no one else who could annoy Lu Lingzhao except that big girl from the Ling family!
Seeing Kang Daru go out, Cheng Zijin ran to Lu Lingzhao, "Hey, let's go to the academy next door."
Lu Lingzhao glared at him, "Look at what?"
"Look at the eldest girl of the Ling family in your heart! Didn't you always want to see her, and now the two academies are only separated by that wall, so you can see her whenever you want."
Lu Lingzhao's eyes turned cold, "Don't come up with bad ideas, you are not afraid of ruining the girl's reputation in public."
Cheng Zijin rubbed his chin, "Be kind enough to be treated like a donkey. The students in Baishan Academy are better than each other. After all, the eldest daughter of the Ling family is the eldest daughter of Lord Hou. There are many men who want to marry her. Be careful not to be robbed by others." first."
Lu Lingzhao got up and walked out upset. He naturally knew how good Ling Ruozhi was, but what worried him most now was not his parents' opposition, but Ling Hou's prejudice against him.
When the other students saw Lu Lingzhao leaving, they unanimously glanced at Cheng Zijin.
Cheng Zijin twitched his mouth and stood up, "Ling Zhao, wait for me!"
The corners of the students' mouths twitched, they are still as good as ever!
Ling Ruichen frowned. No wonder his father didn't like Lu Lingzhao. Lu Lingzhao and Cheng Zijin had been together since childhood, and their relationship was indeed misleading.
