Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 148 Strange news in the imperial capital (second update)
Xia Jinhua escaped from Princess Huayang's Mansion in embarrassment, followed by his subordinates, and fled all the way to Anxiang Xiaozhu outside the city.

The owner of Anxiang Xiaozhu is a young, beautiful and charming woman in her early twenties.

She usually sells wine, and there is only one kind of wine, and that is plum blossom wine with a dark fragrance.

Some literati like to come to her to drink leisurely, including Li Mingjing, who also likes to come to Anxiang Xiaozhu to drink and relax occasionally in their free time.

Xia Jinhua entered through the back door of Anxiang Xiaozhu, and it is almost February now, but the pink and white plum blossoms of Anxiang Xiaozhu are still blooming proudly and fragrantly.

The owner of Anxiang Xiaozhu is named Xiang Lengmei, who wears wide-sleeved white clothes all year round, with a green calyx plum blossom embroidered on the skirt, and a gold-studded ruby ​​plum flower hairpin with black jade as branches inserted obliquely on the tassel bun, pink. With peachy cheeks, bright eyes and vermilion lips, and red plum blossoms stuck between her brows, she seems to be tainted with a bit of a demon, like a fairy or a demon, neither hot nor cold.

When Xia Jinhua saw Xiang Lengmei, he said angrily with an ugly face: "This is your skill? For many years, you have not been able to deal with Li Mingjing!"

Xiang Lengmei knew that Xia Jinhua was in a bad mood, and she just smiled lightly at his intentional finding, and bowed softly: "The young master is right to scold him, it's because his subordinates are not good at things, and Li Mingjing's heart of stone has not been shaken so far."

"Hmph!" Xia Jinhua walked into the elegantly furnished tea room with a rage, walked to the square stool in front of the short square table and sat down, with a lingering anger still burning in his heart, he picked up a celadon on the table with one hand. The teacup was crushed tightly with five fingers, and after sprinkling the powder, he felt a little better and said coldly: "I will temporarily live in Anxiang Xiaozhu for a few days, and I want to watch you settle Li Mingjing as soon as possible. Don't forget, Master has said that Li Mingjing has Xilingyan's trust, and he knows far more things than we guessed."

Xiang Lengmei lowered her head slightly and said indifferently: "Leng Mei is doing her best to do what the master told me. But haste makes waste. If Li Mingjing was a person who is easily deceived by appearance, he would not be so impressed by Xiling Yan. It's important. So... Please forgive me, young master, this subordinate cannot win Li Mingjing's heart in a short time."

"If you can't win his heart, then win him first." Xia Jinhua looked at Xiang Lengmei very displeased and said, "If a woman wants to win a man, she can't just use means and scheming. More The important thing is...you have to give a man some sweetness to taste, and you can't just play hard to get, understand?"

Xiang Lengmei tightly held Mome Luopa in her hand, lowered her head slightly and said coldly: "Please forgive me, young master! Leng Mei only performs tasks and does not sell herself."

"Aren't you going to sell yourself?" Xia Jinhua slapped the table and stood up, walked towards Xiang Lengmei, stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate chin, looked down at her unyielding and fearless bright eyes, he curled his lips and smiled coldly: "You have such a face , and was trained by the master to seduce people, you actually said that you would not sell yourself, so what do you want to do? Are you really an extraordinary and refined wine seller?"

Xiang Lengmei looked at Xia Jinhua fearlessly, and said calmly and indifferently: "Leng Mei still said the same thing. From the moment the master uses Leng Mei, Leng Mei will only perform tasks, and will not betray herself."

"Haha... What a fragrant and cold plum, do you really think that you are a tall and clean plum blossom? It's a joke!" Xia Jinhua withdrew his hand, pointed at the plum blossoms that were fading in spring outside, and smiled ironically He said: "Looking at the plum blossoms outside, they can't see the warmth of spring. Just like you, you will never see spring in your life. You will always be alone in the ice and snow. Surrounded by the cold winter, it is never possible to get a little warmth. Let alone stand proudly in the corner of the courtyard wall without being folded and played with in the palm of the hand."

"If there is such a day, Leng Mei would rather be a waste wood thrown into the fire than to be torn to be molested by others." For Waquan's decision.

Xia Jinhua seemed not to know Xiang Lengmei, and stared at her for a long time, then clasped her shoulders tightly with both hands, and sneered sarcastically: "Xiang Lengmei, Master asked you to use a beauty trick to take down Li Mingjing, but what do I think? ...You seem to have been changed by Li Mingjing, and you have become very strange. Hahaha... You can't do this, you can't complete the task like this, and you will be punished by the master and fed to the poisonous dragon, do you understand?"

"Lengmei has never forgotten her mission, and she has never forgotten her identity." Xiang Lengmei looked at Xia Jinhua, who was over-stimulated today and became a little unreasonable, and said calmly: "Young master, take a rest." Bar."

"Take a break? Indeed, I really need to calm down. You can step back!" Xia Jinhua let go of Xiang Lengmei, turned around and walked back to the table, sat down a little slumped, resting his forehead with one hand, thinking about him with downcast eyes How did you get forced into this situation?Since when did the plan, which was supposed to be smooth sailing, produce accidents one after another for no reason?

Gu Xiangsi, Gu Xiangsi, it was her appearance that disrupted their carefully arranged plan for more than 20 years.

But how could this happen?Their people have been monitoring Gu Xiangsi's growth all the time. Although she occasionally behaved strangely in the first 20 years, she is not as mysterious as she is now.

What went wrong?Obviously they have been restricting Gu Xiangsi's growth, hitting her again and again, just to turn her into a living dead who is lonely and doesn't know how to resist.

But now, she is eloquent, cunning and calm, with excellent medical skills and resourcefulness... Ha ha!Judging from the fact that she was wary of him early on, this woman is not only scheming, but also has vicious eyes and is full of patience.

To be honest, he really admires Gu Xiangsi now, her endurance is stronger than his.

Xiang Lengmei bowed silently to Xia Jinhua's back, then turned and left the elegant tea room.

There were two identical women in green clothes waiting outside the Merlin, and after seeing their girls coming out, they led them to the restaurant in the front yard where the girls were entertaining guests.

Xiang Lengmei would come out every day to meet these literati, young masters.

And these people have always been very polite, and no one has ever behaved excessively.

Because they all know that Li Mingjing is a frequent customer of Anxiang Xiaozhu, and has some friendship with this beautiful proprietress.

If they dare to make trouble here, Li Mingjing just needs to embarrass the elders in their family, and they will be beaten up later.

The sons and young masters of rich families dare not play wild here, and those scholars are even more afraid.

They will take the imperial examination to become officials in the court, but they will all rely on Li Mingjing, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to be promoted!How dare he offend his confidante?
Xiang Lengmei was already waiting for Li Mingjing today, she had someone prepare a new plum blossom wine, and she was going to make the wine herself for Li Mingjing to taste.

But after Xia Jinhua came, she knew that Li Mingjing would not be able to come today.

But the wine still has to be sold, and these customers still have to be dealt with.

"The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." A handsome young man raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and wrote a wild grass with ink on a piece of paper.

The onlookers looked at this wild grass, wild and uninhibited, good words!Sentence is also good!

Xiang Lengmei also walked over to appreciate the words, and asked thoughtfully: "These two sentences... I don't know who made the emotion?"

"We don't know the sentence. I heard it from the storybook of Baiweiju." A scholar replied.

"Baiweiju?" Xiang Lengmei chewed these three words thoughtfully, and finally, she gave them a polite salute, then turned and left.

Baiweiju was originally the place Xia Jinhua was in charge of, but he was repeatedly planted in Gu Xiangsi's hands, and now he was even forced out of the city. It can be seen how powerful this woman who came out of the countryside is.

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

How can a woman who can make people sing these two sentences not make people pay more attention.

……

On the sixth day of February, Xiling Aomei nodded in agreement with Que Ping's choice of son-in-law.

Xiling Chu ordered Concubine Shen Gui and Concubine Li Xian to jointly manage this matter, and post the imperial list to announce it to the world.

Anyone who can be selected as a son-in-law will be given the post of fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing.

Xiling Aomei has no objection to this, she only hopes that this time, she can choose a son-in-law who truly loves her.

No!Love at first sight is only for sex, she should choose a reliable and reliable son-in-law!

"Princess, when choosing a consort this time, there will be several wives accompanying you. What the emperor means is, let the elders give you eyes, and you must choose one... who can treat you sincerely." Bi Tao spoke, A red roster has been handed over to Xiling Aomei, and she reminded her softly: "This time, among the elders who set up the customs assessment, there is Princess Zhen. The emperor said that Princess Zhen made a mistake last time. I will punish her, no matter what, I will choose a good consort for you."

"Things of a feather flock together, and people form groups. Although I don't like her, I have to admit that she has a very good heart, and the people around her are also upright and kind people. And her eyes that can penetrate people's hearts are also true. Bright." After Xiling Aomei has experienced these blows and lessons, she has really changed a lot, and she is no longer domineering and self-willed. The whole person seems to have thorns all over her body, and her quietness makes people look weak and pitiful.

"Princess, this time there are Princess Hua and Concubine Hua Shizi. I heard that the prince and Lord Li will also appear. Such a grand selection of bird screen is also an honor that no princess has ever had in the past. It shows how much the emperor loves you. This imperial sister." Bi Tao has been serving Xiling Aomei for many years, how could she not feel sorry for her?Seeing her lifeless appearance, she was really worried.

"Will Uncle Wang come forward? That's good, don't worry about anyone daring to bully me." Xiling Aomei looked at the roster in her hand, and the elders in it are indeed good, the emperor really has a heart.

"You are the only eldest princess of the Xihe Kingdom, who dares to bully you? Don't say it's the emperor who doesn't agree, even if the prince loses his temper, he will definitely refuse to agree to someone who dares to bully you." Bi Tao took one. The Suhua cloak was put on for Xiling Aomei, and she knelt down on the footrest in distress, clenched her fists and gently beat her legs, and comforted her softly: "Princess, don't think so much, the prince is Your uncle was also very angry that day, so he said that. Now that his anger has subsided, he still loves you as a niece. Look, isn't this the soothing incense that the prince sent you? Listen Said it was made by the prince himself!"

Xiling Aomei looked at the white jade incense burner on the small table on the Arhat's bed, the smoke was curling up, the smell really made people feel comfortable.

Well, Uncle Huang still loves her, she shouldn't be so ignorant.

As Li Mingjing said that day, she enjoyed the glory and wealth of being a princess, so she also had to make some sacrifices for the royal family at some point.

But Brother Huang doesn't need her to make any sacrifices, he just wants her to be a sensible and well-behaved younger sister.

Therefore, she is no longer self-willed, and she will feel at ease marrying a son-in-law who is willing to live with her in a down-to-earth manner. When she has a child, her family will be complete.

As long as there is a perfect family, she will be content with everything.

……

ninth day of february
Ever since Li Chengshuo, the fifth son of the successor's mansion in Xilan City, was going to marry a widow with a child, and the disappearance of Xiling Aomei's son-in-law before marriage...

Today, something big happened again.

Miss Yugui from the Xiang family was supposed to get married this year.

But at this time, her fiancé brought back a woman and child after going out to study for more than a year.

Unmarried wives must take concubines first, and let the concubine be born before the concubine?
How could Xiang Yugui's father let his daughter marry such a bastard? In a fit of anger, he brought someone to carry the betrothal gift from the man before, and angrily called off the marriage.

Although Xiang Yugui was the victim in this matter, she is not young anymore. Now that she has withdrawn from this marriage, it will be even more difficult to find a good marriage in Xilan City.

Xiang Yugui's mother was already in poor health, so she finally went to Baiweiju and Yulifang to take care of her body, and she recovered for a few days.

Unexpectedly, when something like this happened suddenly, she was so angry and anxious that she fell ill again.

Because of this, Xiang Yugui's father severed ties with his previous family friends, and even let out the word that their family and the other's family have cut off all ties to each other, and they will never communicate with each other.

But even so, Xiang Yugui was still hurt by the man.

Everyone in the city of Xilan felt sorry for Xiang Yugui. Such a good girl was ruined for her whole life, and she was wronged and married. I don't know what kind of man she will marry!

Li Chunhe heard that his mother was also sorry for Xiang Yugui's life in front of him, so he just had a twitch, and frowned and said: "Mother, let's send someone to Xiang's house to propose marriage."

"What? What did you say? Our family went to Xiang's house to propose marriage, for whom?" Mrs. Li was confused by her son's words, but after thinking about it carefully, she was happy again.

"Mother has been worrying about her son's marriage, and my son has never had a girl he likes very much, and Miss Xiang...she is a good woman, she shouldn't be made a laughingstock by others like this. Since my son wants to get married no matter what, why not do a good deed , marry Miss Xiang, relieve her danger, fulfill your wish, and your son will also have many like-minded wives. The best of all three, why not do it?" Li Chunhe has always been very serious about getting married and marrying a wife. light.

In his opinion, Xiangyugui is very good. They are like-minded. After getting married, the husband and wife will be able to respect each other as guests after getting along.
