In the courtyard of Huan Yi, there was a maid banging her clothes by the well, and her voice rang loudly. Jiang Lao buried her head for a while, and stood up swayingly. What she said seemed to be covered in water. She glanced at Ming Shao and the others. No surprise, they still lowered their heads.

Jiang Lao: "..."

She glanced at the old clothes in the tub, and with a single glance, the more faint and deeper blood stains in the water, she asked her to hurriedly look away, leaving the old clothes to Huaiqing to deal with, and she went back to the inn room with Ming Shao. .

She persuaded herself that Huaiqing Wuque and the others were not nonsense talkers, let alone Ming Shao. Since childhood, she didn't know how much she had helped her hide.

Today’s matter only caused them to misunderstand, and it’s okay if they didn’t explain it clearly.

Jiang Lao glanced back, Ming Shao's face had changed as usual, and her mood was calmed down a little bit without the surprised mood that had just been before. When this matter was over, she heard Ming Shao muttering behind her, "No wonder today. I saw His Royal Highness Nine come out of the girl's room", turned around and covered Ming Shao's mouth, "Don't mention it again."

Ming Shao had secretly told her father's history about her, Jiang Lao warned her, "Don't tell my father and mother."

Ming Shao shook her head hurriedly, waiting for Jiang Lao to release her hand, she chased up and said, "The slave and maid are just thinking, should we find a doctor for the girl and have her pulse, or we should go back to Jinling first, and go directly to the doctor in the mansion. Look, don’t worry about the doctor going out and talking nonsense."

The more Jiang Lao listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he curled his eyebrows, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried... I'm worried that the girl has a body." Ming Shao said reproachfully.

Jiang Lao: "..."

If she said at this moment that she didn't know anything about it, could Ming Shao believe it?

Sure enough, rumors about this kind of thing must be explained clearly when it has just started.

Otherwise it will only be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

In the end, even the clever tongue couldn't explain it clearly.

She rubbed her forehead and said to Ming Shao with a headache: "Tell you to forget about this. It's fine if you forget, but don't remember it anymore. I have a sense of measure."

Ming Shao nodded and really left the matter behind, but Jiang Lao himself couldn't forget. Seeing Rong Chen again, only to see him standing there, the back of her ears turned red unconsciously, and she dragged her. The two buns on both sides of his head hide the red tip of the ears.

night

After leaving the office, Rong Lu didn't have to go there anymore, staying at the inn, Jiang Lao by his side, always felt that he could not breathe, and was completely taken over by Ming Shao's nonsense.

She has always been very good-hearted, even though she was a little uneasy while staying next to Rong Lu, she still obediently followed in when he beckoned to call her back to the inn room.

But she didn't close the door when she entered, deliberately let Ming Shao take a look at the innocence between her and Rong Wei, she was not as shameful as she thought!

Ming Shao looked at Jiang Lao's back and sighed. She walked forward quickly, closed the door for Jiang Lao, and changed her mind twice.

Jiang Lao heard the sound of the door closing, his ears numb.

Rong Ming glanced at Men Fu, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Jiang Lao almost washed his clothes. He already knew from Huaiqing and Wu Que's mouth. Naturally, he also knew what Jiang Lao said at that time. I just wanted to hear her say those things in front of him. She blinked lazily and asked in a coaxing tone: "I just met Huaiqing on the road, and he didn't dare to look into my eyes. Maybe there is something to hide. At me?"

A hook was left in the lazy voice, and Jiang Lao said something.

Jiang Lao avoided his gaze with a smile, his fingers moved slightly, and she wouldn't tell him anything that happened in the daytime, even if she gave her a few more cheeks, it was too embarrassing.

She pursed her lips, shook her head and pretended not to know, and was afraid that he was wrong to blame Huaiqing, she squeezed her fingers and said: "Xu is that you are wrong... Huaiqing is just timid, and she always works seriously, so nothing can be wrong. of……"

Rong Ming looked down at her concealed little gestures, and when she heard her praise others, he was rarely angry, but laughed instead.

Jiang Lao walked to the table, picked up the yellowed parchment map on the table, turned the front of the conversation, and asked what she most wanted to ask, "Since you already know who is behind the scenes, you plan to stay here instead. how long?"

She said: "I want to know when I can return to Jinling."

Rong Chen heard what she didn't say in her words, "How long will I stay, how long will you stay?"

Jiang Lao nodded.

Apart from this, she had no other choice.

Rong Ming looked at her.

During the half-day in the yamen, he wanted to interrogate the servants who were in collusion with the innkeeper. All of them had ghosts in their hearts, and they had their own little nines and nines in their hearts. They rushed to blame others for their crimes, lie in lie, and wanted to save themselves. .

The hostility that had accumulated like silt during the interrogation of the prisoner dissipated peacefully at the moment of seeing her.

Sometimes he wished to trap her in the palm of his hand, and sometimes he felt

Gotta... just look at it like this, and let your voice lighten, "If you want to go back to Jinling, you can do it in three days."

The things to be checked are almost checked, and it is time to return to Jinling.

Jiang Lao's eyes lit up and saw that he had been looking at her, his eyes were like pools, and his eyes were narrow.

She frowned.

He didn't want her to go back to Jinling alone, did he?

She put away the smile on her face, sternly on the floor, and discussed with him, "Can you stop giving me that kind of medicine?"

After taking the medicine, I slept for a few days as soon as I went to bed, as if he had been dug away for a day and night, and every time he didn't say hello to her, she would be stunned... If he continued to do this, she would be the first two Don't be annoyed once, and again, you will really get angry.

Rong Wei lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake, his voice low and hoarse, "No way."

Jiang Lao asked again: "Then you said you might go back with me in three days?"

Rong Ming was silent for a while, but did not answer.

Jiang Lao knew in his heart that he was a dead person in the eyes of others. It might not be so easy to hide his identity and want him to go back to Jinling with her.

She stretched out her hand and held him, "If you can't go back, I will stay here for a few more days."

If he doesn't plan to go back to Jinling with her, but just ask her to go back first, she doesn't plan to go back first. It's okay to stay here for a few more days.

Afraid of being rejected, Jiang Lao did not hesitate to pour dirty water on himself, "My mouth is very lax. If you let me go back alone, maybe I will reveal your whereabouts."

Rong Ming's eyebrows were crooked and he smiled faintly, spread his fingers, and drilled along the gap between Jiang Lao's fingers, and then buckled Jiang Lao's hand. "In three days, I will go back with you."

Jiang Lao was surprised, "Really?"

"I'm afraid that your mouth is not strict, so I have to follow my side and stay on my side." Rong Ming said with a faint smile, "but I have to change my identity."

His eyes with a smile seemed to be able to eat people away with gentleness, making the person who looked at his eyes almost drowned, "Year, let me serve you, OK?"

...

After discussing with Rong Zhu, when he came out of the inn room, Jiang Laohuan was in a daze.

Ming Shao lay on the railing and waited for Jiang Lao. When she heard the sound of the room door opening, she turned around and saw Jiang Lao coming out and shouted "Girl".

Jiang Lao was aroused by Ming Shao's "girl". He remembered the sound of the door falling after he had just entered. He was angry and funny.

She walked over, pressed Ming Shao's forehead lightly with her finger, and said, "You have a foresight."

Ming Shao didn't hear anything in Jiang Lao's words, only that it was a compliment to her for her merits, and she started to laugh.

Jiang Lao glanced at her, didn't click on it, and said, "Let me take a count of the entanglements that I brought."

Ming Shao chased behind Jiang Lao, "Girl does this mean...?"

"It's time to go back to Jinling. It's time to discuss with His Royal Highness Nine." Jiang Lao walked forward, paused a step, and looked back at Ming Shao.

The last time I told Ming Shao, she was more cautious. This time I told Ming Shao, but I discussed it with Rong Chen. Jiang Lao’s tone was much more serious than last time. I have to seal the seal. Just as we were in Qiliu Town this time and did not meet him. If we returned to Jinling and someone asked why we went back, they would say that I was afraid of being timid because of the fire in the inn. Only then did I turn back to Jinling."

Ming Shao frowned, "Isn't this the idea of ​​His Highness Nine?"

Speaking of this, I am afraid that those who know Jiang Lao will go south will laugh at her for giving up halfway.

Jiang Lao shook his head, "It was my own idea."

She was just acting, she didn't mind carrying her timid reputation on her body at all.

Ming Shao breathed a sigh of relief, "If you change it like this, otherwise the slave and maid will really feel wronged for the girl."

Jiang Lao knew what she was worried about and laughed, "I will not misunderstand the person."

Ming Shao narrowed her mouth, "The slave servant is not willing to let the girl suffer."

"Then His Royal Highness will stay here?" Ming Shao asked.

"No." Jiang Lao shook his head, before Rong Ming told her in the room that he would pretend to be her entourage and follow him back to Jinling.

When he thought of the tone he had just said about it, she changed a little bit of heat. He said that he wanted to pretend to be her entourage. He had to say that it was...waiting, and his eyes were soft as a small animal, so she let her Started thinking of captivity.

Color words head, a knife.

Jiang Lao read it again, and together with Ming Shao, he counted the entanglements he had brought.

Last time there was a fire in the inn, which did not cause her to lose too much. Jiang Lao sorted out some jewelry and planned to give it to the magistrate before leaving.

This afternoon when Rong Chen was absent, she asked the maid out to inquire about it. Zuozhixian had a very good reputation among the people and was honest and honest. Jiang Lao has always had a good impression of this kind of popular officials. Even with Aiwu and Wu, he has a kindness towards Mrs. Zuo. Now I like it even more. Some of her favorite jewellery is also put in. Presented to Mrs. Zuo.

If Zuozhi County can be promoted to Jinling in the future, maybe she can meet their family instead, and there will be no dream manifestations, but Jiang Lao still has inexplicable intuition in his heart.

When he thought of seeing Zuo Jixuan's little milk dumpling, Jiang Lao couldn't help but bend his lips. The next day, he went to the prefectural mansion with a gift to be given to Mrs. Zuo.

The weather is much better than yesterday, and it has cleared up early.

Mrs. Zuo heard that Jiang Lao would leave after only a few days, so she had to stay in her home for a few days.

Jiang Lao felt inconvenient at first. He took a look at the little dumpling that held her calf and acted like a baby and left her with little resistance, so he stayed in Zuofu.

...

Within the county.

Zuo Zhixian escorted Rong Chen out of the cell. He looked completely different before entering the cell and after leaving the cell.

His face was as usual when he stepped in, and his face was as pale as frost when he came out.

After arriving in the study, he ordered the young man to go down and make tea. He said to Rong Chen: "My officer... I didn't regard the fire in the inn as a big case."

Jiang Lao was born beautiful, even if he acted low-key, he seemed to be much richer than ordinary people. Regardless of whether the innkeeper is looking for money or color, he can give an explanation.

Even if Rong Lu suddenly came up and said that he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, he would only consider this young man to be just like this young man, trying to get justice for his fiancee. Because of the battle in Huaizhou, he respected Rong Lu and was willing. Help Rong Ming and investigate this simple case.

He never thought about this simple case, and almost got him involved.

Although the innkeeper was for money, he was bought by someone. The person who bought him was sent by the governor. The governor had a good personal relationship with Zhizhou. Even if he wanted to investigate, Zhizhou could stop him. Yamen, know the state, governor history, protect the officials. He couldn't find out the cause, and in the end there was only one way to resign.

Zuo Zhixian opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's the negligence of the officials."

If something like this broke out in Qiliu Town, if one is handled carelessly, his official hat will be dropped. If it is really his fault, he will recognize it if the official hat is taken off. The incident has nothing to do with him, just because he is looking for it. Scapegoat, found his head?

He has not only been palpitations and fear, but even a little anger.

I have been a county magistrate for more than ten years, and I have been suppressed without telling me. If something like this happens, I want to make a scapegoat?

Diligent as an official, but in the end he was taken a lot of money. No one can bear this kind of thing.

Rong Chen had a full view of the changes in the magistrate’s expression and saw the lingering fears in his heart and the anger and resentment hidden in his eyes. Scared."

Zuo Zhixian looked at Rong Zhen, Shen Shen sighed, "If it weren't for His Royal Highness Nine here, the Xiaguan would really be wronged."

He looked at Rong Ming, and asked in a low voice, "I have all the evidence and evidence, is your Highness going back to Jinling?"

Before Rong Chen could answer, there was a knocking sound from outside the study door. After entering, he whispered a few words to the prefect. After hearing this, the prefect raised his eyebrows and asked Rong Ming with a smile, "Ms. Jiang is going to stay in the mansion. Even if you don’t want to stay, you can also let the next official entertain you a few times at the end and talk about the friendship of the landlord."

Rong Ming raised his eyes slightly.

The county magistrate explained, "Ms. Cai just spread a word to me, Xuan'er pestered Ms. Jiang and insisted on letting her stay."

Zuo Zhixian could think of his son's appearance, smiling guilt, "Thanks to the girl's soft heart."

Rong Ming raised his brows slightly, lowered his eyes, curled his lips and smiled, "She has always been like this."

Pinch the cup with your fingers and circle it tightly.

Zuo Zhixian frowned unconsciously.

He felt that Rong Ming's look and talent seemed to have changed.

But as for the difference, he himself couldn't tell.

I just feel that even though he is smiling, he looks a little cold.

Even though he is the same man, he can see that the young man in front of him looks good, with white skin and red lips. It is not the kind of white with fine skin and tender flesh. It is like mountain snow, which makes people feel cold and inaccessible at first glance. , The county magistrate became suspicious. When Rong Ming was invited to his mansion the day before, he didn't feel at the moment. It was because he remembered it wrong that he didn't notice anything...

Rong Lu took a sip of tea, looked up at Zuo Zhixian, and answered some of what he had just said, "I will leave for Beijing in three days. I will not break the letter with the adults. I will give the adults an explanation."

"Tonight, I'm going to talk about it for a while at the house."

...

The troublemakers didn't dare to go to the door of the magistrate's house. Jiang Lao stayed in Zuofu, much cleaner than in the inn, and accompanied Zuo Jixuan to play behind the rockery.

What she said, Zuo Jixuan did what he was so obedient and well-behaved. He was very useful to Jiang Lao. He was obsessed with a small wooden stick and taught Zuo Jixuan to write his name.

Jiang Jinxing was invited to Zuofu together. He didn't bother to pay attention to Zuo Jixuan's young child, with delicate skin and tender flesh, and a face like a peach. Like a girl, he couldn't beat or scold him. Jiang Jinxing took a closer look. Two eyes, suddenly a little curious, "Is this really a boy?"

Jiang Lao nodded, Jiang Jinxing's eyes changed

Suspiciously, Jiang Lao said: "For a child of such an old age, it is difficult to tell whether it is a boy or a girl. Don't talk nonsense, let Mrs. Zuo hear it, and you will definitely be driven out."

After receiving the training, Jiang Jinxing pursed his lips. He looked down at the crooked "ji" characters on the ground, his eyes were full of disgust, and he muttered: "It's been several times, it's really stupid."

He didn't say anything, but Jiang Lao just watched his lips open together, and he knew what the kid was talking about, "When you are as old as him, you can't be as good as him."

Jiang Jinxing hummed angrily, "Isn't it that I was born a few years earlier than me. I remember the embarrassment when I was a child."

He slammed against the wall, standing with arms folded, taunting Jiang Lao, "If I were the one who was born early, you would have to be the one being laughed at right now."

Jiang Lao was too lazy to pay attention to him, taught Zuo Jixuan to write the word "Left", and said to Zuo Jixuan: "The characters you write are much better than that of the brother over there."

Zuo Jixuan grinned, his wry eyes moved to Jiang Jinxing, and he glanced at Jiang Jinxing. Jiang Jinxing pursed his lips as if he was angry, and glared at Zuo Jixuan fiercely regardless of how old he wanted to let the children.

Zuo Jixuan turned to Jiang Jinxing and smiled, making Jiang Jinxing annoyed, turning his head and leaving behind the rockery.

Jiang Lao pulled Zuo Jixuan's little hand and looked at his younger brother's back. He didn't know how to cure his bad temper. He sighed, and then asked Zuo Jixuan, "That brother just now, what do you think of him? Sample?"

Zuo Jixuan was milky in his milk and replied loudly, "It looks good!"

Jiang Lao shook his head. The child is indeed a child, and his eyesight cannot be changed.

But Jiang Jin walked, Zuo Jixuan looked at his unfeeling back, aggrieved and wanted to shed tears.

Jiang Lao quickly took up the child's face and coaxed, "He is bad."

The child's cheeks are soft and doughy.

Jiang Jinxing didn't go very far, he only heard a crisp sound, he blushed, paused, became annoyed again, and speeded up his pace.

Jiang Lao rubbed Zuo Jixuan's small face, extremely rare, and suddenly paused. Looking at the eyelashes of a child's fan, he felt the same confusion as Jiang Jinxing.

The appearance of the child is too exquisite, and after seeing it grow, he will be more beautiful than the girl.

The voice when speaking seemed to be too soft.

Really a girl?

She suddenly remembered Rong Zhen's face, squinted her eyes, and felt that it was wrong. She was just a good-looking girl, not necessarily a girl.

She shook her head and drove this weird thought out of her mind. As soon as the movement of shaking her head stopped, her wrists went cold, and someone took her hand off Zuo Jixuan's face.

Jiang Lao raised his head and saw Rong Ming's face.

He smiled gently, "Tonight staying in the Zuo Mansion?"

Jiang Lao nodded.

"I'm with you." His smile was still gentle, and the hand holding Jiang Lao's wrist was not released, and he glanced at the ground, "teaching him to learn Chinese characters?"

Jiang Lao let out a "um", and Rong Ming laughed, "These words are probably too difficult for him."

Jiang Lao watched Rong Chen write two horizontal lines, two strokes and two strokes on the ground, Zuo Jixuan said out with milk, "Madam."

Jiang Lao: "..."

She couldn't think that the simpler words he said would be the wife.

"Know what this means?"

Zuo Jixuan's head moved, not knowing whether he was shaking his head or nodding.

Rong Ming pointed to Jiang Lao, "This is my wife."

He tilted his head and looked at Jiang Lao, then blinked at Jiang Lao.

Jiang Lao was about to speak, and his heart was tickled by his eye-catching eye.

Rong Chen smiled, looking back at Zuo Jixuan, his narrow and long eyes were narrowed, his voice was a little dangerous, "Got it?"

Zuo Jixuan blinked, with an innocent look, "I also have a wife."

Rong Chen also blinked his eyes following his movements, and slowly said: "Existing madam, you must abide by the rules and don't mix up with other little girls."

Jiang Lao scratched his sleeve, "You..."

She wanted to say that he was teaching the child indiscriminately. After recollecting what he said, she couldn't help but choke. She turned to look at Zuo Jixuan, but she was a little curious, "Do you really have a wife?"

Zuo Jixuan wrinkled his nose and replied softly, "I will divorce."

Jiang Lao was a little dizzy by Zuo Jixuan's words.

The little maid behind Zuo Jixuan explained: "When the young master was born, a high-ranking monk gave her a fortune. When she was fifteen years old, there would be a catastrophe. You have to find a girl with the same horoscope to make a kiss before hiding. In the past, it was the young master who had the marriage contract, but this marriage will not be possible in the future, the monk said, when the young master’s fifteenth birthday, he will divorce."

Zuo Jixuan was sleepy and was hugged by the maid. Jiang Lao took the wooden stick and wiped out the word "Mrs." on the ground, his ears were extremely red.

Why didn't she find that he could compare with children so much?

The way he blinked just now was not less than the innocence of a three-year-old.

Rong Wei stood against the light, with a smile in his eyes, watching her with his hands painted the two words he wrote on the ground, without any hint of repentance.

...

On the day of leaving, Zuo Jixuan followed Mrs. Zuo to the city gate to send Jiang Lao. His mouth was crying, Jiang Lao's heart was broken, and his eyes were red.

Jiang Jinxing was riding a horse and following outside of Jiang Lao's carriage, his face was very ugly, and he asked the man on the other red-maned horse, "When will you marry my sister back?"

Red mane immediately, Rong Zhen is dressed in an inconspicuous gray cloth, and his hair is combed like an ordinary follower. He wears a straw hat on his head and lowers his face. He only has a few words with Jiang Jinxing now. When the children's convoy walks, they will mix in with other entourages, so as not to be noticed.

He leisurely looked at Zuo Jixuan's crying face, his eyes were pleasant. Hearing his tone, he seemed to dislike Jiang Lao, and asked, "What?"

President Jiang Jin sighed, "I cry at every turn, I'm really sad."

Rong Ming's eyebrows were curled up, and there was a little smile in his eyes, "I'm coaxing."

...

On the same day, Fairview Palace.

"This is the newly imported fabric, using snow silkworm silk, which is hard to find in the world. The embroiderer embroiders only one piece in three years. The emperor ordered the emperor to send it to the palace this year. The emperor treats the emperor with great care. Full."

Empress Jiahe looked down at the old fabric in front of her, moving slowly, stroked her fingertips, and the fabric under her fingers was as fine as water. She gradually laughed, unavoidably proud.

Queen Jiahe asked the maid on the side, "Where is Shuxiang Palace?"

The palace maid laughed, "What can the Shuxiang Palace person have? This material has sent less than ten horses. The lady has only three horses by herself, and there are seven horses left. How can she have her share?"

"Yes." Jiahe Queen sneered.

Over the past year, the emperor's love for her has increased unabated, and he indulges day by day. If she can find Qin Yun's handle at this moment, the emperor will only stand on her side.

Even without a handle, it can be fabricated.

Which of the things in this palace is not the emperor's decision? As long as the emperor's heart is with her, to remove Qin Yun from the thorn in her eyes for more than ten years, it just depends on when she feels that way.

Thinking of Qin Yun, she soon thought of Jiang Lao. The queen raised her hand from the cloth and asked her confidant on the side, "What news is there from Qiliu, Ruixian?"
