Marriage of the Di Daughter

"How come there is a tulle on this ancient satin?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ye Jia'er asked: "Master Tang, what is Tuluo?"

"Pyramid is a plant in the Western Regions," Jiang Li replied before Tang Fan could open his mouth. "It blooms around the swamp and has a fragrant smell, but the petals of Pyramid are poisonous. Someone once ground the petals of Pyrethium into powder. If it becomes poison, it will be mixed into food and clothing, and no one will find out, and if things go on like this, people will be poisoned.”

Tang Fan looked at Jiang Li in surprise, and asked after a while, "How does Second Miss know so clearly?"

"I read Tales from the Western Regions in my father's study, and I happened to see this kind of record." Jiang Li smiled.

Jiang Yuanbai, as the chief assistant of the current dynasty, has a large collection of books in the mansion, so it is reasonable to have such an isolated copy, Tang Fan said: "So that's the case, Second Miss is really well-read and memorized."

Ye Rufeng and Ye Jiaer looked at each other, Jiang Li was younger than them, and seemed to know more than them.

"Your Majesty Tang, what do you mean is that the antique satin here is covered with radish?" Ye Mingyu asked.

"That's right," Tang Fan said, "It's definitely Tuoluo."

"The petals of the radish have fragrance, and the ancient fragrance satin has its own fragrance. It is not easy to find out when the petals of the radish are ground into powder and mixed with the ancient fragrance satin. In this way, the reason why the ancient fragrance satin can cause rashes on people's bodies and even The death is all because of the radish flower." Jiang Li said.

"Second Miss is right," Tang Fan looked at Ye Jiaer, "How could there be a pack of dills in the ancient satin of the Ye family?"

Ye Jiaer shook her head: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. For no reason, how could the Ye family ruin their reputation? Gu Xiangdu has not had any problems for so many years, but suddenly something happened, there must be a reason for it. But it will never be done by our Ye family. .”

Tang Fan stared at her: "Maybe it was because the Ye family accidentally mixed the dahlia flowers into it when weaving?"

"This..." Ye Jiaer hesitated for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "My lord, the Ye family's weaving field was inspected by my father and second uncle personally. Problems will be discovered long before they leave the weaving field. It is impossible to let the problematic fabric flow out.”

Tang Fan wanted to say something, so he heard Jiang Li on the side say: "Master Tang."

No matter how daring Tang Fan was, Tang Fan would not deny the words of the chief minister's daughter, so he pretended to listen carefully.

Jiang Li said: "As far as I know, the radish grows in the swamp in the south of the Western Regions. The Western Regions are too far away from Xiangyang. After all, Xiangyang is no better than Yanjing, with a lot of people coming and going. The Weaver Girls of the Ye Family Weaving Factory have been away for many years. If you go out of Xiangyang, you shouldn’t be able to get pack radishes. The same is true for other people in Xiangyang. You might as well check whether the merchants who come in and out of Xiangyang every year come from the Western Regions. If there are, the pack radish is most likely to come from his hands. No matter Whether it is intentionally targeting the Ye family, or inadvertently sneaking into the weaving field, this kind of dangerous exotic flowers and plants are not things that can be seen normally."

Ye Mingyu heard the words, and said: "That's right, this laoshizi should be a rare thing. I've been traveling all year round, and this is the first time I've heard of this thing. A Li, this thing is not cheap."

"There are a few hundred taels of silver for the next-best basil flowers, and a thousand taels of silver for better basil flowers. The brighter the color, the stronger the aroma, the greater the toxicity, the more precious the basil flowers are. Generally speaking, those who can poison people to death should be given a thousand taels of silver." Jiang Li looked at Tang Fan, "Master Tang, forgive me for talking too much, a piece of high-quality antique satin is only five hundred taels of silver." No intention "It would be very difficult for ordinary people to mix a thousand taels of radish flowers with a hundred taels of ancient satin. I suspect that someone intentionally set the blame on the Ye family. It shouldn't be too much to create this conspiracy." .”

She talked and laughed at Yan Yan, but what she said was not light. Tang Fan frowned as he listened, and his heart became heavier and heavier. What Jiang Li said is indeed possible, but if it is really a conspiracy, the matter will be serious. It is not impossible for businessmen to chase each other for profit, and to stumble in private. But the Ye family is the chief assistant of Bei Yan, and the shops of the Ye family are all over Bei Yan. Anyone who dares to attack the Ye family must be quite courageous, and there is a high possibility that some important people will be involved here. But at the other end, the Jiang family is supporting the Ye family. It is impossible not to investigate this matter clearly, especially Miss Jiang, who looks at a person with a pleasant face and has a very clear mind. It is impossible to fool her. He has seen this matter clearly for a long time, and is waiting for someone to act as a gunman to settle this matter.

Knowing that he got involved in a terrible trouble, Tang Fan was a little annoyed. After thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible for him to protect himself wisely this time. It's going to offend and admit it anyway, so it's better to sell Miss Jiang Er to save face. After all, the Jiang family's position in the court has been stable for so many years, and the first assistant Jiang Yuanbai is a kind person. He helped the Ye family this time. Jiang Yuanbai will always say something kind in the future after receiving this favor.

Thinking of this, Tang Fan immediately said: "Second Miss is right, and it is indeed a big deal at this time. Although the investigation of the case is not under the control of the Weaving Room Order, the Weaving Room Order sent us to Xiangyang just to thoroughly investigate this matter. The Ye family is also number one in weaving in Beiyan, we will discuss with Tong Zhifu, and from tomorrow onwards, we will conduct a thorough investigation of people who come and go from Xiangyang to the Western Regions."

"Will Zhifu Tong agree?" Jiang Li frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Miss Jiang, please don't worry," Tang Fan said, "This matter concerns the people of Xiangyang, and it is dangerous to carry red flowers out of the bag, and Tong Zhifu will definitely agree." People in the capital, Tong Zhiyang is used to local hegemony. He doesn't know how powerful Miss Jiang Er is, but he knows it very well. When the Jiang family was in its heyday, most of the court was Jiang Yuanbai's disciples. Now the Jiang family is more cautious, but not The representative has fallen, and there is no offense.

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Mrs. Tang." Jiang Li said with a smile: "I'll write to my father later and tell him that everything is going well."

Hearing the words, Tang Fan lifted his spirits, and the hesitation that he was afraid of getting involved in trouble was swept away. Jiang Li's words almost guaranteed to be a good word in front of Jiang Yuanbai. It's smoother.

worth it.

Seeing the flash of joy in Tang Fan's eyes, Jiang Li smiled in her heart. Officials in Yanjing City are used to relying on their nepotism to climb up the ladder, even a small dispatcher under the manufacturing order is no exception. It is indeed much more convenient to have power, and I am glad that with her status, she can use power with ease.

Tang Fan and his party left with the problematic ancient satin. As evidence, some of these ancient satins will be brought back to Yanjing. The next step is to find out where the pack radish in Xiangyang City came from. Jiang Li is not very worried that no one will be found. There is indeed no need for the Ye family to kill themselves. It will be a matter of time before the grievances are cleared. In addition, Tang Fan is now on the side of Jiangli, and Tong Zhiyang's outer room is in his hands again, so there is no need to worry. However, the reputation of the Ye family has been damaged nine out of ten. In this way, even if the grievances are cleared, it is impossible for the Ye family to return to its former glory.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, they are afraid of well ropes, and the common people are afraid that they will be afraid of ancient fragrant satin in the future.

Returning to the Ye residence with the Ye family, Guan Shi and Zhuo Shi were all inexplicably astonished after hearing the whole process, and no one expected that there would be a sudden appearance of a flower.

"Who would harm our family?" Zhuo was puzzled. "The Ye family has always been kind to others. When natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, they even send people to give out porridge. They have never had any ill relations with others. Who would use such vicious methods to ruin the reputation of the Ye family?"

"Maybe it's a cloth merchant nearby." Guan Shi said, "The business of Guxiang satin is the only one, so it's inevitable that it will attract people's envy."

"If you're really jealous, you don't have to choose this time." Jiang Li said: "The Ye family's business was more prosperous in the past two years. These years, other businesses have been put on hold to concentrate on weaving. If you want to deal with the Ye family, you can do it in the first two years. It's started. It happened to be when Cousin Ye just entered the official position..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li and said, "A Li, what do you mean, someone wants to harm Shijie?"

Ye Shijie was the only man in the Ye family who became an official. The future of the Ye family was related to Ye Shijie, and everyone became serious.

"It's not about harming Cousin Ye," Jiang Li patiently explained, "Cousin Ye has just entered an official position and has been valued by His Majesty. His position is very important. Maybe someone wants to win over, maybe someone wants to suppress, if Cousin Ye Being alone is not easy to influence his thoughts, but the Ye family is different. If someone wants to use Cousin Ye, it is the safest and most beneficial way to start with the Ye family."

After much deliberation, she decided to tell the Ye family about these things. It's not good for the Ye family to have the enemy open and we are secretly, so it's better to let the Ye family be on guard, so as to save them from going astray in the future.

Ye Mingyu shot the case: "What, did someone do this on purpose? Just to make our family restrain Shijie?"

"Uncle Mingyu, this is just my guess," Jiang Li shook her head, "I'm not very clear about the details. After all, we are in Xiangyang now, but there is no need to worry. Since the people behind want to frame the Ye family, now the Ye family Pick out the trap, and if the opponent fails to succeed, they will naturally show their feet, and at that time, following the clues, we can always see some clues."

"Cousin, does cousin know about this?" Ye Jiaer asked.

"I know." Jiang Li said, "In addition to asking him to write to Zhishiling, I also told him my conjecture. But cousin Shijie is in Xiangyang now, even for his father's sake, someone thought Don't dare to be blatant if you do tricks. Cousin Shijie is very smart and will weigh everything well."

"Thank you very much." Ye Rufeng thanked bluntly, and said again: "But you let people use the name Jiang Shoufu, and Jiang Shoufu knows, so there will really be no problems?" He refused to call Jiang Yuanbai Uncle. With Jiang Shoufu's name. His heart was also very complicated, he hated Jiang Yuanbai very much, but in all fairness, if he hadn't used Jiang Yuanbai's name to control him this time, things would definitely not be so simple. Tong Zhiyang will not be scruples, and Tang Fan will not be so dedicated.

"Don't worry." Jiang Li smiled, "After all, he is my father, and he has already become such a big official. Wouldn't it be a waste to use such a name?"

Besides, this is just a small rehearsal. After this incident, the Jiang family and King Cheng will meet each other eventually.

She just let it come early.

...

The arrival of the weaving order dispatcher made the people of the Ye family feel a little more comforted. The appearance of Tuoluo also gave a clear plan for the progress of the case.

Three days later, Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingyu were released.

The people brought by Tang Fan thoroughly searched the entire Ye family's weaving field, but found no traces of the weaving flower. All the weaving girls in the weaving field were inspected, and there was nothing suspicious. Not knowing how Tang Fan negotiated with Tong Zhiyang, Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingyu temporarily returned to the Ye Mansion.

The backbone of the family is back, and the Ye family is very happy. Knowing that this matter is the result of Jiang Li's dealings, even Ye Minghui, who has always been cautious, finally opened his heart to Jiang Li.

Ye Minghui sighed: "A Li, this time the Ye family is in trouble, thanks to you. I had a lot of considerations for you at first, but now it seems that I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I'm sorry." He made a long bow to Jiang Li, and he deserved an apology.

Jiang Li turned sideways quickly, expressing that she didn't dare to accept it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ming Yu's words will frighten Ah Li. We are a family. If my mother is alive, she will know that the Ye family is in trouble, and she will not stand by. At my age Little, I was bewitched by others and hurt my grandmother and uncles. Now that I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed. I am already very grateful that my uncles are willing to give me a chance to make up for it.”

She didn't take credit, she mentioned Ye Zhenzhen calmly, and then explained the events of the year in a tactful way. After all, there was no estrangement between the Ye family and her.

Ye Mingxuan said: "I can't blame you for what happened at the beginning. You are young and ignorant, but we are not children as uncles. We have lived so many years in vain and were provoked by traitors. Let you deal with the Jiang family at a young age. , by that woman..." He stopped abruptly, for fear of touching Jiang Li's sore spot. The Ye family's thinking is also pure. These days when they get along with Jiang Li, Jiang Li is gentle and lovely. No matter how you look at it, she is not a person who can kill her mother and brother. She must have been framed by Ji Shuran.

"Cough, cough, cough," Ye Mingyu waved his hand, worried that Jiang Li would be sad, so he changed the subject and said, "Anyway, it's always a good thing that the eldest brother and the second brother have returned safely. Let's celebrate it. By the way, Now that you are back, when will you make all the effort to let Ah Li see your mother? After so long delay, is this still a serious business?"

"Yes," Ye Jiaer also remembered, "Cousin should go see grandma."

Before Ye Mingyu and Ye Mingxuan were taken away by the yamen, Jiang Li should have gone to meet Mrs. Ye. But because of Tong Zhiyang's actions, he didn't dare to let Mrs. Ye find out about the changes in Ye's family, so she temporarily shelved the matter. After such a long delay, it has been almost a month since Jiang Li returned to Xiangyang, and she didn't even see Mrs. Ye. In the beginning, it was the Ye family's intentional obstruction, and in the end, there was a reason for the incident, but now that I think about it, I really feel guilty for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li hesitated: "Now... can my grandmother's body bear it?"

As soon as the words finished, a kind voice came from the back of the hall, saying: "Who says the old man can't bear it? My dear girl, let my grandmother see it."

Everyone turned around in surprise, Jiang Li looked back, and saw that the curtain of the hall was raised, and two maids supported an old woman with white hair, staggering towards this end.

"Grandmother!" Ye Rufeng called out, "Why did you come out?"

Jiang Li was stunned, this is Mrs. Ye.

Compared with Mrs. Jiang's sternness and hale and heart, Mrs. Ye looks much kinder and kinder, and also much older. She has silver hair and wears a rosin-green jewel to wipe her forehead. She stopped a few steps away from Jiangli, looked at Jiangli with a smile, and called out: "Ninny."

But Jiang Li saw the tears in her eyes and her trembling hands excitedly.

Subconsciously, Jiang Li responded, calling "grandmother", and walked up to Mrs. Ye.

When Mrs. Ye saw Jiang Li, her eyes were in a trance, she stretched out her hands all around, held Jiang Li's hand, and stared at Jiang Li carefully, as if she wanted to take a closer look at Jiang Li. Said: "In my lifetime, Ah Li can still visit me, I am so happy..."

Compared with Ye Minghui's vigilance and Ye Mingxuan's cautiousness, Mrs. Ye and Ye Mingyu are the same, it seems that there is no such barrier at all, and they are even more enthusiastic than Ye Mingyu. Jiang Li believed that at this moment, Mrs. Ye was really happy to see this long-lost granddaughter.

"Grandma, don't you blame me for doing something wrong back then?" Jiang Li asked softly.

Old Mrs. Ye laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, she said: "How come, you are the granddaughter of our Ye family."

You are the granddaughter of our Ye family.

At this moment, Jiang Li's heart was full of sour and astringent feelings, and she could hardly hold back the tears in her eyes, followed by satisfaction from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know if this was due to the real relationship between the second Miss Jiang and Mrs. Ye whose blood was thicker than water, but at this moment, what she saw from the old man's eyes was purely without any cover-up.

Second Miss Jiang is not unloved, besides her biological mother Ye Zhenzhen who died, there is another relative who misses her in this world. Not alone at all.

"Mother, why are you up?" Ye Mingxuan stepped forward quickly, looked at Jiang Li, then at Mrs. Ye, hesitated for a moment, and said, "How do you know that Ah Li is here..."

Although Mrs. Ye was happy to see Jiang Li, it was definitely not the first time she was surprised to see Jiang Li. Besides, she came directly to the front hall, as if she knew that Jiang Li would be here.

Mrs. Ye glanced at him and said, "I already knew about it. It started from the first day Ah Li came to Ye's house."

Everyone was taken aback.

The servant girl next to Mrs. Ye said softly: "Miss Biao has just arrived in Xiangyang and returned to the mansion, and the old lady knew about it. I was afraid of disturbing Miss Biao, so I asked the servants not to tell others about the return of the second lady. I thought about it. I was able to meet Miss Biao in a few days, and I never thought that something would happen to the Ye family's Guxiang satin on the way."

This is something that I didn't expect.

But after thinking about it, it is indeed the case. When Mrs. Ye was young, she and Mrs. Ye took care of the Ye family's business, so she couldn't really know nothing just because she was old. Whenever there is any movement in the Ye family, Mrs. Ye is naturally the first to know. Just to avoid embarrassing Jiang Li, she held back her life and waited for Jiang Li to be ready to meet her, but unexpectedly, Ye Minghui and Ye Mingxuan were taken away suddenly.

"I wanted to find a friend to help rescue the boss and the second child, but Ah Li stepped forward." Mrs. Ye patted Jiang Li's hand, "I didn't expect Ah Li to have such a great ability, you are more powerful than your mother." Capable and smart, your mother will be very pleased to know that you are so smart now."

Jiang Li nodded. She didn't expect that Mrs. Ye would already notice her every move when she arrived at Ye's house.

Ye Mingyu scratched his head: "Mother, we are still thinking about how to meet you, Ah Li. Fortunately, you know everything, but you don't tell the truth, and the children are exhausted physically and mentally."

"If I don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, how can I see that you are so useless." Mrs. Ye sighed, "I told you earlier that a big tree attracts the wind, and the Ye family is so prosperous, it will always cause trouble, so be careful , Who would have thought that someone would still take advantage of the loophole."

Jiang Li comforted: "Grandmother, I really don't blame Uncle Mingyu and Uncle Mingxuan this time, they have done a good job. It's not that simple. It's not that simple. Just a reminder, you will know what to do when you have learned a lesson in the future.”

Mrs. Ye looked at Jiang Li, half relieved and half distressed, and said: "Ninny, you can think of this at such a young age, so it can be seen that life in Jiang's family is very difficult. It is our Ye family who failed you. Back then If I were tougher and brought you back to Xiangyang, how could I make you suffer so much."

Jiang Li's intelligence is obvious to all, but it is also well known that Jiang Li was arrogant and willful back then. From an arrogant little lady to a resourceful and resourceful girl, it must be forced by life. Jiang Li also has a stepmother and step-sister, and now Jiang Bingji, life will not be easy. Wisdom also has a price.

Jiang Li smiled and held Mrs. Ye's hand, and said, "I haven't been wronged, and my life in Jiang's house is not bad."

Mrs. Ye only held her hand, hesitated to speak, and just said: "No matter what, just come back."

She is happy for Jiang Li's return wholeheartedly. In the eyes of Mrs. Ye, Jiang Li is just a child who has a temper. She has never been really angry with Jiang Li. No matter when Jiang Li comes back, she will As before, welcome with a smile.

This is family.

Jiang Li's eye sockets couldn't help but also moisten. I don't know if it was moved by Mrs. Ye's tolerance, or because she thought of herself.

If Xue Huaiyuan was still there, Xue Fangfei, who made the mistake of not knowing people clearly, would have been forgiven.

It's a pity that Xue Fangfei's family members, the people who could forgive Xue Fangfei in the world, are all gone. And she couldn't find a reason to forgive herself, so she could only go on alone, punishing her enemies and herself.

"Well," Jiang Li hid a little tear in her eyes, and changed into a smiling expression in an instant, and said, "I'm back."

...

After many years, the Ye family's past suspicions have been resolved, and the family is happy and harmonious, and they can't hide it from their neighbors after all.

In the black and white mansion not far from Ye's house, the guards were squatting on the eaves, watching the young men in the flower beds digging the soil hard and planting the flower seedlings one by one.

Su Guogong Ji Heng loves exotic flowers the most, even if he arrives in Xiangyang, even if it is just a courtyard for resting, the servants will never neglect. Xiangyang City is not as rich in supplies as Yanjing City, and the young shoppers still go out early and return late to find some strange and beautiful flowers to plant in the yard.

Not to mention, the Duke's Mansion has seen too many flowers, and when they arrived at this empty mansion, the guards felt that something was wrong. Now that the flowers and plants are planted, it immediately feels much more pleasing to the eye, as if the breath in the heart is suddenly exhaled freely.

"Madam Ye and Miss Jiang Er have already met." Wen Ji said, "Nothing special happened."

Nothing special happened, which means everything went well.

Next to Ji Heng, Lu Ji asked, "Do they get along well?"

"It's very harmonious," Wen Ji said, "It's like a family."

Lu Ji sighed, and said: "Second Miss Jiang is really not easy. In such a short period of time, the Ye family has no barriers to treat her."

The quarrel between Jiang Li and the Ye family back then seemed simple, but in fact it was not very easy to get over it. Especially after more than ten years, the misunderstanding will not disappear with the passage of time, especially if there is no result at the beginning, it will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball, and in the end, it will be like an indestructible rock. Not to mention crushing, it is even difficult to shake.

But Jiangli did just that.

"People who can share weal and woe in times of crisis are of course easy to move people." In front of the window, Ji Heng smiled meaninglessly. Although the words of praise came out of his mouth, they seemed to be sarcasm.

"Yes, this is the cleverness of Second Miss Jiang." Lu Ji nodded, "It was difficult to untie the knot between the Ye family and her, but this time the Ye family encountered a difficult situation. Fortunately, she solved the urgent need. Standing up at such a critical time, and having a feeling of helping each other, the Ye family would never be cold-hearted to her. Besides, Miss Jiang is used to being a person, and she looks sincere, I am afraid that the Ye family has already been bought by her. They bought it to death."

Forget it, she sighed: "It's luck that she ran into such an opportunity."

"What kind of luck?" Ji Heng shook her fan, "She knew that this would happen a long time ago, and she waited for the show to start early. These days, there are so many people who move her."

Lu Ji was silent for a moment, and then said: "My lord, the person who weaves the room has arrived. Should we intervene in Xiangyang's affairs? Right now, it seems that Tong Zhiyang is not a person who takes care of things, and his outer room is in Ye Mingyu's hands. The Ye family is safe, and the situation may change."

"No need." Ji Heng said.

On a cloudy day, the peony on the folding fan seemed to be affected by the gloomy weather, making it look a bit dim. Only his red robe became a bright color between the sky and the earth, standing still and fresh.

"The boy from the Li family is embarrassing and useful." Ji Heng said slowly, "It's not as good as a little girl. Li Lian can't get involved in the Ye family's affairs. As for whether or not he stumbles, let him ask for his own blessing." A strange color flashed across his eyes, "It's the little girl from the Jiang family... If the surname is not Jiang, it will be fine."
