The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 172. Alliance

Days passed, and people far away at the border also heard good news. After Xiao Shao’s Jin Yiwei arrived at Heiguan Cliff, he redeployed the army, changed the army formation, and resisted the siege of the Tianjin Kingdom. Pay attention to one’s effort. Before the Tianjin Kingdom pursued the victory, it didn’t want the reinforcements to arrive now, and suffered a big loss. For a while, they did not continue to attack, and the two armies formed a confrontation situation. This is a good opportunity for the soldiers of the Dajin Dynasty to gain some rest time.

When the Xi Rong people on the other side learned that Zhao Guang was leading the Zhao family army, they also converged upon hearing the sound, and returned to the border, temporarily achieving peace.

These two events swept away the previously tense atmosphere in the capital, and returned to the usual singing and dancing. On this day, Lin Zixiang and Wen Feifei boarded the gate of Jinying Palace and came up to visit Jiang Ruan.

Steward Lin was naturally happy again. When the old King Jinying and his wife were alive, Princess Jinying was a kind temperament, and also made friends with many official wives. The number of people who came to visit was endless. The carriages of different people parked every day in front of the mansion seem to be lively, but it is also a manifestation of the master’s family. After the old King Jinying and his wife went there, Xiao Shao was born with a deserted temper. Except for a few maidservants in the Jinying Palace, there are probably no more females to set foot. I have been silent for many years. I don’t want Jiang Ruan to look dull, but he has a good personal relationship. Not long after I moved in, my friends came to visit. Wen Feifei and Lin Zixiang are also well-known official ladies in Beijing, and they naturally provoke Lin. The housekeeper ordered the whole house to entertain him.

After Wen Feifei and Lin Zixiang met Jiang Ruan, Wen Feifei wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: “Sister Ruan, the servant of Jinying Palace is looking at you but sincerely obeys you, if there are half of the servants in my house here. Feeling sensible, I’ll thank God.”

Wen Fei Fei is now also married, and the marrying is also a family of military commanders, but the new daughter-in-law will always encounter some troubles when entering the door. Wen Fei Fei has become accustomed to being careless, so she can’t help others. When I saw the order of Jinying Palace and the respect for Jiang Ruan, I naturally became envious.

“She is very clever. Some methods are used to discipline her, and you can’t learn it.” Lin Zixiang interrupted her without hesitation, as always straightforward: “Moreover, the beauty of her birth is guarded by King Jinying. I only know how to practice martial arts, how can your husband protect you.”

Wen Feifei looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear Lin Zixiang’s words.

Lin Zixiang turned to Jiang Ruan again, and said, “I thought about this marriage and ignored your intentions. I was afraid that you would be wronged. Now it seems that you are willing to do so. In short, King Jinying is not in the house, you live alone. Comfortable, so as not to be embarrassed.”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly without comment. If you say that Lin Zixiang’s temperament is really a strange flower among the ladies. She is quick to talk, she doesn’t understand the world, and others don’t know if she is stupid or clever, but she is a truly transparent person. Her straightforward personality is exactly the same as Lin Changshi. Everyone says that Lin Changshi’s talented civil servant has brought up such a terrifying daughter who does not follow the three principles and five rules, but Jiang Ruan feels that Lin Changshi is the real one. The man of great wisdom, the daughter he raised, is much more precious than the ladies of the capital.

It’s just that it’s so precious that ordinary people can’t appreciate it. This is also the reason why Lin Zixiang has not married yet. Lin Zixiang looks pretty and has a good family background, but her vision is too arrogant. When a matchmaker came to talk about her relationship, she didn’t think it was worth mentioning. , Lin Changshi respected her meaning, and changed those people back. After two visits, Lin Changshi’s daughters were famous for being fussy, and gradually there was no one to propose a marriage. Lin Zixiang is also 18 years old now. She is an old girl in the Dajin Dynasty. There are a lot of people who talk about it, but the Lin family doesn’t realize it.

Lin Zixiang looked at Jiang Ruan, then at Wen Feifei, and said: “Sure enough, marrying a man is not a good thing. A person who originally had a temperament is true, but now he is a mundane thing all day long. One is already cunning, and now it’s even more mundane. It was a tactful thought. One entered the palace and even changed his temperament. It was surprisingly cold all day long. Another one,” Lin Zixiang’s eyes flashed a trace of irritation, “I don’t know what to do because the people are gone!”

She counted everyone down, but Zhao Jin was the last one missing. Zhao Jin disappeared a few months ago, but at first Mrs. Zhao and Master Zhao kept the secret from everyone. Later, when Xu Ye sent out the guards, he couldn’t find it. There was no other way to find Zhao Jin’s handkerchiefs. News, only a few of them knew that something had happened. In the last letter left by Zhao Jin, he only said that he was going to find someone, and he would come back after finding someone.

Madam Zhao was very anxious. Listening to Zhao Jin’s maid, Zhao Jin was a little strange in those few days. I don’t know why, but she was in a trance every day, but it was not sad. Madam Zhao also came from a girl like a flower, and she immediately thought that Zhao Jin was afraid that she had a sweetheart, and this time she was going to find her sweetheart. While scolding which family she abducted her daughter, she scolded Zhao Jin for not being ashamed, how dare to do such a foolish thing, you should know that if you hire a wife and run for a concubine, Zhao Jin ran away with others. , I’m afraid I can’t lift my head in this life.

The people sent by the Zhao family still have no information, and Lin Zixiang is a little annoyed whenever he thinks about it. In her opinion, friends should treat each other with sincerity. Zhao Jin hadn’t told her before she had such a big thing, and she really didn’t regard her as a friend in her heart. Of course, Lin Zixiang was even more angry that Zhao Jin did such a thing only for a man.

Lin Zixiang thinks that all the men in the world except her father are the same, arrogant and arrogant, looking up to the sky, not knowing what loyalty is, self-righteous, and they are really not worthy of good women.

Looking at her indignant appearance, Jiang Ruan smiled and shook his head and said: “It’s useless for you to be anxious right now. It’s better to watch the changes. As for other things, we are laymen, and we just struggle to live every day. We are married. Well, it’s just succumbing to reality, just after marrying, it’s good to try to make yourself a better life.” She smiled: “Just like you just said, I’m doing well. Even better than in Shangshufu. A bit more comfortable.”

“Exactly.” Wen Feifei was afraid that Lin Zixiang would preach again, and immediately echoed Jiang Ruan’s words: “Married and married, what good is it to say these now? Although I am not better than Sister Ruan, I am more comfortable than when I was a girl. It’s a lot, at least you don’t have to face the jealous bunch of sisters at home.”

Lin Zixiang thought for a while, then sighed: “You don’t care about this, so why should I worry about it.”

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, “Speaking of which, I have never entered the palace during this time, sister Ying’er…”

“She seems to be a different person now,” Wen Feifei had some injuries in her eyes: “I went to see her in the palace a few days ago and brought her some gadgets. Although she was smiling, she felt very alienated. In short, now I think I don’t understand her.”

“I don’t fight for favor, but I don’t know what to do in the palace.” Lin Zixiang also replied with a cold face: “It is more similar to those women in the palace, and I can’t see the difference.”

After Dong Ying’er entered the palace, because of Jing Zhaoyin’s relationship, she was not completely left out. Zeng was also lucky enough to be promoted to Baolin. She was soft and soft, and she also learned to be in the palace where people can eat people without spitting out bones. How to survive, but in the end there is some lack of interest, and it seems that he is not interested in anything.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Naturally, the palace is not so dumb. If it is still as simple as before, it will not be possible to live long.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zixiang and Wen Feifei’s expressions changed at the same time. After a long while, Lin Zixiang said: “You see it transparently. If you had a chance to be drafted in the palace…” The position of the queen is none other than you. Lin Zixiang didn’t say the last sentence, but she believes Jiang Ruan is also. Know what she wants to say.

Several people said something again. When it was getting late in the afternoon, Lin Zixiang and Dong Ying’er got up to say goodbye. Just as they were out of the house, Wen Feifei suddenly felt a little dizzy, and she was about to fall down. Lin Zixiang was about to get on the carriage and was taken aback. Before he moved, he saw a cyan figure flashing by his side, helping Wen Feifei up.

It was a young man in a blue cloth gown. After lifting Wen Feifei up, he was not anxious to let go, but instead held her hand firmly. Lin Zixiang was furious when he saw this, and said, “Where is the disciple, don’t let go of your hand!”

Lin Zixiang’s voice was raised very high, and the eyes of the people around him suddenly looked over. The man was also unpreparedly surprised by Lin Zixiang’s questioning. When he saw the people around him, his eyes blushed and said, “Girl, you misunderstood, it’s just…”

“Let go of your hand!” Seeing that he didn’t let go, Lin Zixiang immediately stepped forward and pushed him away. He held Wen Feifei. Wen Feifei was a little dizzy. He didn’t know what happened, so he had to say: ” Axiang, I’m fine.”

The young man was almost overthrown by Lin Zixiang’s push, his face flushed immediately and anxiously, and the people around him pointed at him when he saw it. He said: “Girl, you really misunderstood. Next is Jinling Sage Xia Qing, a doctor, just want to see what happened to this lady?”

Lin Zixiang glanced at him. This man was also considered handsome, dressed in a refreshing cloth coat and a cloth bag around his waist. It was good to look at the skin bag. At this moment, his face was flushed and he was not sure if he was angry or ashamed, but his tone was very sincere. Just the Jinling Holy Hand? Everyone who claims to be a “sacred hand” in medicine is an old man with a white beard. The doctor depends on his experience. The older he is, the more experience he has. This man seems to be in his early twenties at best. How can he be called a “sacred hand” , The apprentices in the hospital are pretty much the same. Lin Zixiang hates the most pretentious and self-righteous person in his life, and immediately said with a cold face: “Your small body, I am a woman who is about to fall with a light push, but I don’t know if there is any hidden disease in the body. What Jinling Holy Hand, Lian My own hidden disease can’t be cured, and I think it’s just a thief.” After saying that, he couldn’t bear the other side’s glance, helped Wen Feifei get into the carriage and drove away.

Xia Qing stood there blankly, eating a mouthful of the smoke and dust raised by the carriage, and the people watching the excitement around him gradually dispersed and he was still stunned. He has lived such a long time, and wherever he goes, he receives respect and praise from others, and even the young girl’s family knows that his reputation also favors him. Now he touched his head somehow and cursed him like that. Rao is this young man who has always had a good temper. At this moment, he was also a little bit gnashing his teeth. She…she actually said that he was ill again? A girl’s house, where did such shocking words come from!

The genius doctor Xia was immersed in a shocked mood, but instead of forgetting what he had just wanted to tell Lin Zixiang, he shook his head, looked at the gate of the Jinying Palace in front of him, and immediately gave birth to a grievance that could not be compounded. If Xiao Shao didn’t want him to stay in the capital and become Jiang Ruan’s personal doctor, why would he be accused in front of so many people. The more I thought about it, the more angry, Xia Qing flicked his sleeves and turned away.

In Xiahou’s mansion, Xia Jun dusted his sleeves and walked out of Yuanzi. When Fang walked out of the yard, he saw Xia Jiaojiao vying for something from a maid, and said loudly, “You are an inferior girl, what do you need such a good bracelet for? Don’t give it to me!”

The maid was not to be outdone, and said, “Miss, this is what the old lady gave to the slave. If the lady needs to beg for things like the old lady, the slave dare not give it to others at will. Besides, the lady with golden branches and jade leaves, what kind of If you don’t have any good things, why do you have the same knowledge as slaves?”

The maid’s sharp teeth clearly angered Xia Jiaojiao, and when the Xia family slapped them over: “We should talk back! Who is the master!”

The maid turned around and escaped Xia Jiaojiao’s slap, and said, “Miss still don’t want to embarrass the slave and maid. If she waits for the maid beside the old lady to see it, it won’t be good for the maid to be punished.”

After hearing that Xia Jiaojiao was even more angrily: “Dare to threaten me!”

The yard was noisy and unfriending, the maid looked up and saw Xia Jun standing not far away, and immediately called out: “The slave maid has seen the second master!”

Hearing Xia Jun’s name, Xia Jiaojiao was shocked and immediately stopped her actions. Seeing Xia Jun standing not far away, a trace of fear flashed quickly in her eyes, and she whispered: “Second brother.”

Xia Jun looked at Xia Jiaojiao coldly. Ever since Shen Ronghua’s Xia Jiao’s affairs were exposed, the Xia family has become the laughingstock of the entire capital. Unfortunately, Shen Rou’s family is not easy to get away, although it is not dead, Shen Rou’s status in the Xia family has plummeted. Xia Jiaojiao became a trace of humiliation left by the adultery of Xia Jiaojiao’s uncle and his sister-in-law. Mrs. Xia once called Xia Jiaojiao to the ancestral hall and wanted a glass of poisoned wine to drink. Who knows that halfway through the summer, I don’t know where to get the news. , I was surprised to rescue Xia Jiaojiao from Madam Xia.

It is a pity that although Xia Jiaojiao saved her life, she could never return to her former days when she was in the Xia family. Wherever she went, it was a shame to the Xia family. People would talk about the scandals of the Xia family. Xia Cheng imprisoned her in the house and did not allow her to leave the house. Her reputation has become like this, and naturally no one wants to marry her anymore. Not only that, Shen Rou can’t keep her, Xia Cheng hates him, Xia Cheng and his wife are cold to her, Xia Jiaojiao’s life in the house is difficult, and she lives. It doesn’t even look like a lady. Therefore, it was reduced to the point where the same maid grabbing jewelry.

Xia Xia Yi has now resigned from his official position, spending time outside every day, and no longer the calm and introverted appearance at the beginning. Perhaps I feel that the certain green hat that my brother personally put on him is a big blow. In short, it is now devastated. It’s like mud.

Yu Ya cleaned up Shen Rou, but did not live as happy as she imagined. Xia Xia’s unhappiness to her because of this incident was all revealed, and she acted more presumptuously, and simply stopped spending the night in her yard. Xia Cheng and his wife hated her for stabbing the scandal out. Regardless of the face of the Xia family, they were also very indifferent to her, and Yu Ya’s temper became more and more gloomy.

Among these people, Xia Jun is the one who spends the most comfort every day. When Xia Jun lost the opportunity to become an official because of the ancestral hall, he was very depressed for a period of time, but now it seems that he is not too bad. Every day, he looked at these absurd ridicules in Xia Mansion with cold eyes, like an outsider.

Xia Jiaojiao was originally afraid of this second brother, but now she is no better than before. She is even more afraid of Xia Jun. He was also low to all kinds of attached schools. Xia Jun smiled and passed by her. When passing by Xia Jiaojiao, his sleeve flicked and dropped a piece of broken silver.

This is a very insulting action, and it is only an action that people can do to a beggar, but when Xia Jiaojiao saw it, instead of being angry, she immediately laughed, bent down to pick up the broken silver, and said: “Thank you. Second brother.”

After Xia Jun left the house, he walked to a small tavern on the street and walked in. The tavern treasurer seemed to be very familiar with him, and greeted him into a small house inside, where one person was sitting at the moment. The man dressed in blue was sitting in front of the window and pouring himself a drink. The shopkeeper stepped out. The man turned to see Xia Jun and smiled, “Cousin.”

This person is Jiang Chao. Xia Jun also smiled, walked to the opposite of Jiang Chao and sat down, followed by pouring a small glass of wine to his lips, sniffed, and said: “Wine is good wine. My cousin can enjoy it so much. I feel ashamed. .”

“It’s just a thing of mouth and tongue, and can’t be put on the table. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can enjoy the endless fine wine, much better than this.”

When Xia Jun heard the words, he drank the wine in his glass: “Cousin said so, but what’s the good thing?”

“Naturally there are good things,” Jiang Chao said unhurriedly, “and it is a great good thing.”

“Oh?” Xia Jun seemed to be interested: “What? My cousin worked under the Eighth His Royal Highness, has he been promoted again this time?”

“That’s not true,” Jiang Chao said lightly: “There is something more pleasing than being promoted. That is, cousin, the common enemy of you and me, now has a chance, which can probably be eliminated.”
