The Blessing of Traveling to Pregnancy

Chapter 70

The sky was filled with heavy snow, and the capital was completely white.Cui Jing didn't like to sit in a sedan chair, so he still rode a horse to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Rites.When I got there, there was almost a layer of white snow on my shoulders.Wei Wei patted and handed the post to the gatekeeper.The door order had long been told that the host's house would welcome some distinguished guests today, and immediately brought Cui Jing into the mansion after matching the names.

Cui Jing's visit to Beijing this time was in fact ordered by the general of the frontier city, contacting high-ranking officials in Beijing and China was secondary, and the more important thing was to run an errand well.And Qingmei guessed wrong one more thing, Cui Jing is now in the position of captain, not because he was promoted too fast, but because he was deliberately suppressed by the general.Based on the number of beheads and military merits he earned in the border town this year, he should be in a higher position now, but in order not to attract attention, he is now just a small officer of the eighth rank.

"It is disrespectful and disrespectful for distinguished guests to come to the door."

Not long after, a noble young man in brocade clothes came from there.

Cui Jing got up and raised his hand in a salute: "I'm Cui Jing."

Young Master Jin Yi smiled warmly and said: "Fang Xiaohong, Mr. Cui, please sit down."

Cui Jing's heart turned, and he immediately understood the origin of this noble son - the fifth son of the Minister of Rites.It was the unlucky ghost who chose a poor-quality horse to pretend to be a military horse and was given a whiteboard by Xie Yunzhao. At the same time, Xie Yunzhao made him a typical example of the dudes in Beijing, a negative teaching material for excellent kids, and he almost lost two coins to be sung by street beggars. .

Cui Jing, who is far away in the border town, also knows these things clearly, while laughing at Fang Xiaohong, while secretly thinking that Prince Xie, who is in charge of Yushitai, is playing tricks.

Seeing it now, Fang Xiaohong's face does not have the haze of being demoted and scolded, he is as gentle as jade, with a polite manner, quite like an ancient sage.Cui Jing's heart began to beat a drum, such a young master Pian Pianjia, can he suffer so much?Don't let him spend so much effort, when the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty.

The two sat and chatted in the warm hall for a while, but Fang Shangshu refused to show up for a long time.Fang Xiaohong quietly observed the officer in front of him from the border. He chatted with him about the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, about the bustling capital city, about famous calligraphy and painting, and the conversation was not about business. I can chat with you a little bit.Although not proficient, it will not let you talk to yourself.And most importantly, this man's smile is too sincere! ! !It makes people feel that if they continue to neglect him like this, they will feel a little guilty.Fang Xiaohong felt that the evaluation of this person in the letter from General Biancheng was not in vain, and he also had some admiration and respect from the bottom of his heart.

All business is nonsense, and Cui Jing is very patient.Being able to choke to death with Lin Qingmei, who can calmly chat with someone who you say is dry and tongue-tied, and she can calmly chat with someone who dismisses the matter with "um", Cui Jing feels that the level of Mr. Fang in front of him is not high enough. very cloudy...

Finally, after the two chatted for more than half an hour, Fang Xiaohong finally convinced Cui Jing's nonchalant skills, took a sip of water and said, "My father should be back from his friend now, please follow me."

Cui Jing smiled lightly, then got up and followed, and went to the study.The heavy snow outside the house had stopped, and there was a sound of frolicking when they walked around the rockery.There was a crack in the smile on Fang Xiaohong's face, and he quickly led Cui Jing around: "Brother Cui, this way."

Cui Jing was not a person who liked to join in the fun, besides, when he was a guest at someone's house, he had to show the courtesy of a guest, but...

"Shh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Snapped!"

A ball of snowball hit Cui Jing's waist very precisely.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaohong was just about to apologize with a smile, but when he saw the sincere person who had been smiling just now, his face suddenly turned cold, and the chill was faint, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to the kind, pleasant and sunny boy's expression again. Smile, as if it was just your illusion before.

A little servant girl ran over in fear, bit the bullet and admitted her mistake in a low voice.Fang Xiaohong held his forehead helplessly, and looked in the direction where Snowball flew, his sister was pretending to be an ostrich.Cui Jing also looked over, and felt that the girl's appearance was a bit familiar——huh?Isn't that the little girl I saw behind Liu Xiangfu last time?

Fang Ai in the distance also remembered, feeling even more embarrassed now.Although she is lively and romantic by nature, she can't do the thing of accidentally throwing snowballs at people.Before, it was just a small frolicking with the maid in the courtyard, who would have thought that he would not pay attention...

Well, she admitted, she did it on purpose.

But there is something wrong with the aim, her target is actually her fifth brother...

Ever since Fang Xiaohong was demoted, he has been in contact with dudes in Beijing all day long, and Fang Ai was furious when he saw this.Anyone who came to the mansion to look for her fifth brother during this period of time was all friends!
But today...

Fang Ai felt guilty, and ran away with her maid.

Fang Xiaohong laughed dryly: "That...haha, my little sister is naughty, please forgive me, Brother Cui."

Cui Jing waved his hand and didn't mind.The change of face just now was only because he didn't like being attacked by others, and he was successfully attacked by a snowball from a little girl. Cui Jing felt that he was really a ghost in daylight!
After arriving at Fang Shangshu's study room, he dismissed the maids and servants, closed the doors and windows tightly, and began to discuss business matters.

If the emperor wants to eliminate the feudal clan, he must have an army in his hands. Not only that, but there is also an urgent shortage of military personnel.But nowadays, whether they are civil servants or military generals, most of them are born in aristocratic families, and they are too closely connected with the in-laws of vassal princes in various places. Moreover, the famous military generals in various places are all left by the previous emperor's generation, and the emperor himself has no newcomers.The emperor was worried about using these people. He had to choose some from poor families or pure ministers and put them in the barracks.Cui Jing caught up with such an opportunity, and so did Fang Xiaohong.

Fang Xiaohong was originally a student with the prince, and he had a long-standing friendship with the emperor.It stands to reason that as long as such a person does not make serious mistakes, he will not be demoted to such a person by the emperor.

It can only be said here that Xie Yunzhao's hands are too dark.

He told his brother that it was the same thing that Fang Xiaohong had a good relationship with you in the past, but it is no joke in the army. He chose low-quality horses. If you do him, you will shock the army, win the hearts of the people, and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!And didn't you always say that we don't have any of our own in the army? Just so, taking this opportunity, kick him to the border town for a few years of experience and then come back.If you let him be transferred to the army in a high position, people will definitely pay attention.But if you demoted him to the army, it would be reasonable, and people would think that Fang Xiaohong was too pitiful and worthy of sympathy.

Thus, Mr. Fang, who was as jade-like as jade, was taken to the border by the Xie brothers, and he also bore the reputation of a playboy...

Fang Xiaohong is also an open-minded and intelligent person. Knowing the trick played by the emperor and Lord Xie, he was demoted on the surface, but in fact he had high hopes, and he was very cooperative in playing his role as a playboy during the days in the capital. image.Fang Shangshu is also a sensible person. He not only acted with his son, but also let his daughter deal with Liu Xiang's daughter. He hoped that through the communication between the little girls, Fang's mansion could somehow make a good impression in front of Liu's mansion... Of course, these are all illusions made to paralyze others.

General Biancheng is a person who is trusted by the emperor in the army, so he knows the emperor's plan.These days, thousands of troops are easy to get, but good generals are hard to find.If Fang Xiaohong is really a good seed as the emperor said, he would be happy to cultivate it.but if not...

To be on the safe side, in order to prevent the product from being discovered to be a three-nothing product when the goods arrived, Cui Jing, the inspector, made a trip to the capital.

While chatting, Xie Yunzhao arrived.

Fang Shangshu immediately went out to greet him, and Xie Yunzhao didn't talk nonsense, and directly conveyed a series of explanations about the emperor Fang Xiaohong's packing to go to the border town after the Chinese New Year.

Cui Jing stood quietly at the side, looking at the long-known Prince Xie.He is very serious, from the moment he entered the door to now, there has never been any expression on his face that can be called a smile.

A group of people discussed in the house for a long time, and seeing noon, Fang Shangshu made people prepare lunch.Just about to invite Xie Yunzhao, but I heard him say: "This king still has some other business to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. Don't send it far away, stay here." After speaking, he left.

A small floating cloud floated in Cui Jing's heart, the expression on it was: =口=
What an upright prince, he deserves to be in charge of Yushitai!
Xie Yunzhao's first image of Cui Jing was also good, but he felt that this brother loves to smile too much, and that smile is a little... creepy.

Regarding this, in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, across the street from Fang Shangshu's house, a certain woman secretly commented: A smiling tiger and a cold-faced Hades are neither good goods!
Liangfeng glanced at the sky silently: Do you want to add a lioness...

More than half of this year has passed, on a snowy afternoon as usual, when Qingmei woke up from a nap, the cool breeze came and said to her softly: "Cui Jing is gone."

"Ah."

Qingmei nodded slightly, yawned, put on her clothes and fur and walked to the door of the house, standing quietly in a daze.

In the courtyard, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the lotus pond in the courtyard had already been covered with a thin layer of ice, and the surrounding area was very quiet.

Liangfeng brought a hand warmer, Qingmei glanced lightly: "This style is novel, I have never seen it before."

Liang Feng pondered for a moment, and said: "The Prince Xie asked Guanshi Li to deliver this yesterday."

Qingmei turned her head and looked in her room, suddenly found that this room has been filled with many things in the past month or so.Liangfeng looked at her cautiously - the prince's trick, Xiaoyurun, seemed to be starting to work.

Finally, when the Lantern Festival came, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and the empress dowager also invited the female relatives from various prefectures.

Just like going to the palace for a banquet before, Qingmei was dragged out of the quilt by Zhang's mother early in the morning, and dressed up.Liangfeng brought a box of jewelry, Qingmei glanced at it sideways, and since she had never seen it before, she couldn't help stroking her forehead, "He sent it?"

"Ah."

"Hey..." Qingmei sighed helplessly.

Liangfeng only regarded her as acquiescing, took the jewelry sent by Xie Yunzhao, and happily dressed her up.

Now Qingmei is already a regular customer of the Empress Dowager, and Liangfeng is also studying the rules of the palace under the guidance of Zhang Mama. After all, when the lady is married to the palace, the rules there should not be much different from those in the palace.A little girl, even if she is a princess in the future, she still has to follow the rules. She can only walk in the harem, and the grade of green plums such as chariots is not enough.

As he was walking, he met Fang Ai, the daughter of the Minister of Rites who came to the banquet together, and Liu Ruyun, who were chatting in the corridor not far away.

The friendship between Qingmei and Fang Ai can be traced back to the flower banquet of the eldest princess in May, which was introduced by Qingyou Qingran.However, in Qingmei's impression, Fang Ai is still Qian Jiao's distant cousin, so she doesn't know how Qian Jiao is doing now.Since the hunt in September, she has been in constant trouble, and she has no intention of caring about others.

Liangfeng naturally knew that Liu Ruyun and his young lady were hostile to a certain extent, and at this moment, he sincerely hoped that Miss Fang could delay for a while.But the road is only so long, and Qingmei is extremely incapable of reading people's faces. Even though Liangfeng's eyes were about to cramp, she still didn't react, and she still walked forward with a calm face.

At this time, there was still some distance from the Ciming Hall. Fang Ai was lively by nature. He had a good impression of Qingmei at the flower banquet. When he saw Qingmei approaching, he took the initiative to say hello: "Miss Lin, long time no see."

Qingmei nodded and said, "Well, how is Miss Fang recently?"

Fang Ai tilted his head and blinked his eyes: "It's cold, it's boring to be stuck at home all the time, it's not like having a flower banquet in spring, how lively it is."

Qing Mei said casually: "Then today the Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet, you can play for a while longer."

Liu Ruyun took the conversation and said: "I see that Miss Lin is in a good mood today, I don't know what happy event happened recently?"

Qing Mei was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Fang Ai was standing between the two of them, and suddenly felt that what should be written in today's almanac was: It is suitable to live at home, not to travel.
