Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 328
The 16-year-old Cheng Xi is a princess.After her parents left the mansion, she took on the responsibility of taking care of the entire Lu mansion.When she wakes up every day, she first asks someone to send the accounts of all the stores under the name of the Lu Mansion to her study, and after she and her younger brother Cheng Lin finish their breakfast, she has to go to pay her respects to Mrs. Zhu.Zhu devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, lived in seclusion, and seldom appeared in public.

After coming out from Mrs. Zhu, Cheng Xi would go into the study and read the accounts of each store.This look usually leads directly to noon.Cheng Lin's lunch is served in the library, so Cheng Xi usually eats lunch alone.After lunch, she will go to take a nap first.After a nap, there will be more free time, and she will find some things she likes to do to study.

After dark, she would wait for Cheng Lin to have dinner at home, the siblings would get excited, and occasionally they would play a few games of chess.

Such a day passed.Seeing her sister repeating her daily life over and over again, Cheng Lin muttered a little.Girls at this age, who don't dress brightly and delicately, often go to various banquets, but his sister is so mature all day long like a housekeeper's wife, she lacks too much innocent feelings.

But the muttering is the muttering, Cheng Lin also understands in his heart.His eldest sister is waiting for someone.

Wait... That bastard Aran who left the mansion a few years ago and hasn't heard from him since then.

Cheng Lin felt that when A Ran came back one day, as Cheng Xi's younger brother, he would beat A Ran hard to vent his anger for his sister.

After thinking about it, before A Ran appeared, he could only continue to wait with his sister.

One day, Baoxiang Temple, the largest temple in Cangzhou City, sent an invitation.The siblings were having breakfast at the time.The maid Xia Tong showed the invitation to the two young masters, and said, "Some time ago, the farmland on the outskirts of Cangzhou was attacked by locusts, and the farmers there had no harvest. The abbot of Baoxiang Temple was merciful and mobilized our city Many people donated money for the people in the suburbs. Our old lady has never lagged behind in doing good deeds, and donated tens of thousands of taels of silver. This time, the host of Baoxiang Temple specially organized a vegetarian meal to thank these benevolent people who donated silver and money The old lady will attend that day, what the old lady means is that I hope you can accompany her to Baoxiang Temple with her old lady."

As soon as Cheng Lin heard it, he gloated immediately.Their grandmother has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha these years. Although she has done a lot of good deeds, she never participates in this kind of thank-you banquet.This unprecedented participation was for nothing more than... his sister's marriage.

The old man was impatient. Seeing that his granddaughter was already old enough, her parents went to Miaozhou again and could not take care of her marriage.Whether A Ran is dead or alive is still unknown.Do you want her precious granddaughter to wait so stupidly?
This time the old lady asked her granddaughter to attend the vegetarian feast with her, and made it clear that it was for her.

Cheng Lin can guess Zhu's intentions, and Cheng Xi can also see clearly.She sighed helplessly, and asked Xia Tong to report to Mrs. Zhu that she had too many things on her hands recently and could not accompany her to Baoxiang Temple.

The servant girl Xia Tong carefully reported the words to Mrs. Zhu.But on the day when the vegetarian feast was held, Mrs. Zhu got up early, ordered someone to dress up Cheng Xi, and finally "escorted" her into the carriage.

In the carriage, Mrs. Zhu saw her granddaughter wearing a pink peach-blossom gauze coat and a pleated pear-white crepe skirt. The silk palace flower, with a delicate face, looks more beautiful than any flower that blooms in spring.

With such a fairy-like granddaughter, Mrs. Zhu wished to put her in the palm of her hand and pamper her, so how could she let her continue to wait for A Ran like this.

The carriage quickly arrived at Baoxiang Temple.The host of Baoxiang Temple received them very warmly.

From the host's words, Cheng Xi knew that in today's Baoxiang Temple, the entire Cangzhou city's dignified ladies brought their families and mouths to participate in this so-called vegetarian banquet early in the morning, and even some powerful wives from several cities near Cangzhou city They all came to Baoxiang Temple.

Cheng Xi's face was full of black lines, this battle made her seem to want to choose a husband.

Hearing what the host said, Mrs. Zhu could not help but hold Chengxi's hand tightly with a smile, with a proud expression on her face.

Her granddaughter is so good, she just let the host let out a little bit of wind, so many wives brought their sons to see her.

It really is a woman begging from a hundred families.

As a grandmother, her face is radiant, very radiant.

The host asked them to arrange their grandparents and grandchildren into the best wing room in the backyard.The vegetarian banquet is held in the evening, and during this time Zhu needs to go to the Buddhist hall to read scriptures.As soon as Mrs. Zhu left, Cheng Xi stayed in the yard, and there were maids who kept coming to report, saying that the wife of such and such family knew that she, the princess, had also come to Baoxiang Temple to ask for an audience.

After seeing several wives, Cheng Xi felt tired.In order to breathe, she only took Xia Tong around the mountain behind the temple.In Baoxiang Temple in spring, there are peach blossoms in full bloom everywhere, and the master and servant lost their way after walking in it for a while.

Xia Tong was a little worried. The back mountain of Baoxiang Temple was too big, and the two of them did not transfer out after a long time.Zhu's side didn't know that they had come to the back mountain, and it was almost dark. If their master and servant couldn't get out, the situation would become very bad.

Compared with Xia Tong's worries, Cheng Xi is much calmer.She also learned a few self-defense tactics from A Ran since she was a child, and ordinary people can't deal with her.And it's just lost now, as long as they don't go back, Zhu's will definitely send someone out to look for them.

The master and the servant walked in the peach forest for a while, and finally found the way back.Before Xia Tong could be happy for a long time, two burly men with black cloth masks emerged from behind the peach tree in front of them.The men each held a sharp long sword in their hands, and looked at the master and servant with sharp eyes.

Xia Tong took a few steps back in fright, but still bit her lip and shouted to the two men in front of her, "You are so courageous, you dare to block the way of our Princess."

The fatter man of the two men sneered a bit, "It's her way that's being blocked!" As soon as he finished speaking, he urged Qing Gong to attack Cheng Xi and the others.Cheng Xi was not flustered, and bit her lip to fight calmly.But she soon discovered that the martial arts of these two men were very superb, and her little martial arts couldn't handle them at all.

The decline soon appeared.If they can't beat, Cheng Xi can only drag Xia Tong to run.

The two men attacked back and forth again, blocking their way.

"What do you want to do?" Cheng Xi's mind was running fast, thinking about the reason why these two people blocked her way.

The two men smiled ferociously, and raised their swords to strike at Cheng Xi again.The blade of the long sword passed through Cheng Xi's shoulder, Cheng Xi frowned, and when he looked down, he found that his shoulder was already bleeding.

The two men still didn't let them go, Xia Tong was quickly knocked out.Cheng Xi also quickly fell into danger in the siege of the two.Seeing that the long sword in one of the men's hands had stabbed Cheng Xi's abdomen this time, Cheng Xi had no escape.

A gust of spring breeze blew up the hair on her forehead.

Cheng Xi's nostrils first had a light scent, and then the light scent was covered by a strong smell of blood.Before she had time to react to the changes around her, a black cloak inlaid with gold thread flashed across her eyes.

In a sea of ​​flying flowers and snow, a man with a strong figure had already swung the whip in his hand towards the two men.The whip was like a nimble long snake, wrapping around the necks of the two men, the barbs on the whip slashed across the necks of the men, blood splashed everywhere, and there was a bloody rain.

"Are you okay?" The two men were killed on the spot, and the man in the black cloak inlaid with gold silk walked towards her lightly at this moment.The man's handsome face was set off by the peach blossoms in the garden, and Cheng Xi felt that the brilliance of the trees was not half as elegant as his.

"I, I'm fine." Immersed in his handsome appearance, Cheng Xi lost his mind for a moment, but quickly recovered.Although this man was extraordinary in appearance, he was still not as good-looking as her father.

"You are the daughter of the Lu family, right? Everyone in your family is looking for you now." The corner of the man's lips curled slightly, and he smiled brightly.

With this smile, his sharp eyebrows and eyes softened a bit, and a familiar face immediately flashed in Cheng Xi's mind.Her heart moved, and she blurted out, "Are you a bird of prey?"

Back then, when Gao Junshen sent people to the Lu Manor to massacre, although Ah Chi was rescued, his whereabouts were unknown afterwards.After so many years, she would occasionally think of this man named Ah Zhi, and wonder how he is living now, but she just thinks about it.She didn't think much of this childhood playmate.

Before the man could respond to Cheng Xi's words, on the other side of Taolin, Mrs. Zhu had already arrived with a group of servants from the Lu family.As soon as Mrs. Zhu saw Cheng Xi who was safe and sound, the stone that weighed down her heart was put back into her stomach again.

Knowing that it was the man in front of Cheng Xi who saved her, Mrs. Zhu thanked the man again and again.But the host next to Mrs. Zhu quickly recognized the man's identity.He introduced them to the Zhu family, "This is Feng Beichen, the magistrate of Cangzhou City who has just taken office. He is the number one scholar appointed by the emperor this year."

After hearing the host's introduction, Mrs. Zhu looked at Feng Beichen with a deeper gaze.

But as she took a closer look, the more she looked, the more she felt that Feng Beichen was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"You used to play with Chengxi at our house...Ah, ah, prey?" Zhu thought carefully, and recognized the man in front of him.

This time, Feng Beichen didn't deny it, he smiled calmly, "Madam, Miss Lu, it's been about ten years, we haven't seen each other for about ten years."

"Chengxi, it's really a bird of prey!" When the old friend met again, Mrs. Zhu turned her head and immediately said happily to Chengxi.There was a period of time when Ah Zhi and Cheng Xi had a good time, and Cheng Xi would bring Ah Yuan to her yard to pay her respects.In my memory, Ah Chi was a polite, sensible and well-behaved child.

We meet again today, I didn't expect not to see each other for ten years, Ah Zhuo looks so handsome now, and he has become the number one scholar handpicked by the emperor.

Zhu Shi had some small thoughts in her heart.

After living with her daughter and son-in-law for so many years, her vision is not so narrow.She has seen everything from the top to the left and right prime ministers, down to seventh-rank officials.A top scholar in the district is actually not a big official, but what she values ​​is Feng Beichen's background.

To put it bluntly, with the current status of their Lu family, they no longer need their grandchildren to cling to any powerful people.She chose a foreign son-in-law but hoped to find a young talent with a simple family background and a pure character, so that when her granddaughter married, not only would she not have to look at the face of her in-laws, but on the contrary, she could rely on her natal family's status for a lifetime of worry-free life.

Ah's parents died early, and now she has saved her granddaughter, so she naturally values ​​Ah's.

Seeing her childhood playmates again, Cheng Xi was still a little happy.However, he was just happy. After all, time and distance had diluted the friendship between the two of them. When Gao Junshen sent someone to forcibly massacre everyone in the Lu family, it was Aran who hid everywhere behind her back.She and A Ran had a life-long friendship, which A Chi could never catch up with.

"Ah, thank you very much this time. I didn't expect to see you for so long, but you have changed a lot." Changed your name and surname, and even took the imperial examination.

Feng Beichen lowered his eyes, the woman in front of him only reached her chest.He had imagined countless times what she would look like when they met again, but her reaction was too calm, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Master Feng, oh no, I'd better tell you to speak more easily." Zhu Shi warmed up, "Today you saved Chengxi, let's find a chance, and we will have another banquet to thank you." Zhu Shi suddenly remembered It's good to see Ah Chi.At that time, A'Zi was more advanced than A Ran in Lu's residence.

Now Ah Chi appeared before A Ran who didn't know which knot he was in.Will this be arranged by God.

A prey and her precious granddaughter are more destined?

Feng Beichen accepted Zhu's request gracefully, and personally sent the group of them back to Baoxiang Temple.After arranging and securing everything, he took his leave and left.Not long after he left, Mrs. Zhu simply asked someone to cancel the vegetarian feast, and sent someone to send it back to the Lu residence directly.

She wants Zhang Li to check on Feng Beichen's current situation, such as whether he is married and what his character is.

At the same time, Feng Beichen returned to the small courtyard where he lived.The abbot of Baoxiang Temple has been waiting there for a long time.As soon as Feng Beichen returned to the courtyard, the host respectfully reported, "The bodies of those two people have been disposed of according to your instructions. No one will know the relationship between those two people and us." The host said, "Then "Two people" naturally refers to the two people who were killed in Taolin.

Feng Beichen faded away from the gentleness and elegance of the day, and his aura of arrogance soared, "People pay more attention to the situation of the two women in the Lu residence, I want to know every move they make."

The callousness of command.

Only then did the host retreat respectfully.

When there was no one around, Feng Beichen gently pressed his hand over his lips, and a coldness appeared between his brows.

Ten years ago, he didn't destroy the entire Lu Mansion with his own hands. Ten years later, he is no longer the useless waste that he was back then.This time, he came here with hatred, and he was determined to destroy the entire Lu Mansion completely.

Walking to the desk, he carefully opened the wooden drawer of the desk, and there was a package in the drawer.He opened the package lightly, and there was a tablet in the package.On the tablet is written "the seat of my mother Shen".Feng Beichen stared at the memorial tablet for a long time, avenging his mother had become a gap that he could not cross in his life.
