Marriage of the Di Daughter

On the second day, Jiang Li, Ye Mingyu and his party, as well as the people of Tongxiang, went on the road to Yanjing.

Thanks to the people's fat and people's anointing that Feng Yutang scavenged, the transportation expenses along the way were not worrying about. With so many people, the journey was naturally slower. But it doesn't matter if you start early.

The Ye family reluctantly bid farewell to Jiang Li, especially Mrs. Ye, who stood at the gate of the city and watched Jiang Li's back when she could no longer be seen before leaving with the Ye family.

On the carriage, Xue Huaiyuan sat with Jiang Li. These days, everyone was used to Jiang Li being so kind to Xue Huaiyuan. Although Xue Huaiyuan looked thinner after washing, he more or less recovered his former handsome appearance. In fact, Xue Huaiyuan was not bad at all, otherwise Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao would not be so outstanding in appearance.

Jiang Li took a lot of clean clothes from Ye's house and had someone change them for Xue Huaiyuan. If it wasn't for him always playing on his own like a child, he could vaguely see some of his appearance back then.

Ye Mingyu also got into the carriage when he was free. Jiang Li was patiently wiping off the snack residue Xue Huaiyuan made on his body with a handkerchief. Ye Mingyu looked at it and suddenly had a strange illusion. Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan are clearly not related, nor are they related, and when it comes to appearance, there is no similarity. But I don't know why, maybe it's the demeanor, or maybe it's the eyebrows, there is such a resemblance.

It looks like a father and daughter.

Realizing his own thoughts, Ye Mingyu's heart trembled, and he secretly scolded himself for thinking too much. How could Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan be father and daughter? Jiang Li's father was the powerful Chief Assistant in Yanjing City. These words not only insulted Jiang Yuanbai, but also insulted Ye Zhenzhen.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his heart, Ye Mingyu asked: "Ali, our journey will take a few more days. Now your father doesn't know what you are doing here. When we return to Yanjing, we will definitely be able to do it. By then He will definitely keep you from coming forward, why don't you tell me, what should I do next? Or you can write it down with a pen, and I will follow suit. "

Ye Mingyu could more or less see what Jiang Li did in Tongxiang, even though he was using Jiang Yuanbai's name, Jiang Yuanbai must not know about it. His daughter caused such a big incident in Tongxiang, Jiang Yuanbai didn't say anything else, Jiang Li, as a daughter of a daughter, and her status as the daughter of the chief assistant, must not come forward again, so as to save more troubles. No matter how arrogant Ye Mingyu was, he couldn't stop Jiang Li from going home.

But once Jiang Li goes home, it may not be able to come out in a short time.

Yanjing is no better than the rivers and lakes, and the Jiang family is no better than the Ye family. Ye Mingyu wants to fish out Jiang Li from it, but he doesn't know if he can succeed. In this case, it's better to make two preparations. As long as Jiang Li can't come out for the time being, Ye Mingyu can get things done without Jiang Li's presence under Jiang Li's instructions.

Jiang Li shook her head with a smile, and said: "No way. In Yanjing City, the relationship between officials and households is very complicated. The Ye family is a merchant. If someone wants to suppress it, it is possible that this matter will be suppressed. It will be different if it involves me. Now, because I am behind the official family, it will naturally attract people's attention. The case of Xue's family had to become more and more troublesome to have a chance. As the trouble got bigger and bigger, the other party was impatient, and mistakes were made in impatience. Our chance Here we come."

"But..." Ye Mingyu hesitated, "Your father's side..."

"Don't worry, I'll convince him." Jiang Li smiled. Jiang Yuanbai is a smart person. What she has done now has offended the right prime minister at the Ye family, and offended Princess Yongning in the case of the Xue family. Everyone has been offended, and the past peacefulness on the surface will be broken. Once you start, it will be difficult to stop.

Jiang Yuanbai understands this truth, riding a tiger is hard to get off, even if he doesn't want to make a move now. So in this matter, either continue to do it and give the opponent a heavy blow, or stop halfway and let the opponent seize the opportunity.

Jiang Yuanbai's official career is not as stupid as he is in the back house, but very shrewd. Jiang Li believes that he will make the same choice as himself.

But... I don't know what kind of expression Yongning in Yanjing City will have when he finds out what he has done?

Must have been pissed off.

...

Yanjing City is located in the north, and in winter, there is not a single day that is not snowy.

In the heavy snow, the poor have to face the cold wind to do coolies, wear thin single clothes, and earn a few copper coins a day on the icy streets.

The rich and noble families are much better off, the ground dragon is burning hot, and the house is also hot, and the ladies can still sit in the house, holding the Tang Pozi given by the maid, watching the snow scene outside the window, reciting poems and paintings, playing the piano and reading books .

In the princess mansion, it was even warmer like spring.

A long wool blanket was laid on the ground, embroidered with complicated patterns, and it would not be cold to step on bare feet. Therefore, even in winter, the young woman on the high seat wears a thin gauze dress, slightly revealing a corner of her bellyband embroidered with Bingdilian, as delicate and charming as a lotus about to bloom in summer.

She lay on the man's lap.

The man was handsome and gentle, smiling and looking at his knees.

Her rosy lips let out a lingering verse: "Su Xi didn't comb his hair, his silk hair hung on his shoulders, his wrists were stretched out on his knees, where is he not pitiful..." When she said the last word, her voice darkened provocatively, but her neck was raised, The red lips were lightly printed on the man's thin lips.

All the servants in the palace lowered their heads and dared not look at it. When Princess Yongning and her lover Yan were getting along well, no one dared to take a second look.

"Yongning..." A sigh escaped between his lips and teeth.

This sigh made the woman go crazy, she looked into the other's eyes, almost intoxicated by the tenderness, she suddenly said: "Shen Lang, when will we get married?"

The man—now Zhongshu Shelang, the popular Shen Yurong in front of Emperor Hong Xiao was stunned, as if he suddenly woke up from the sinking desire, leaned up slightly, and avoided the intimate embrace of Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning also felt his alienation, and suddenly recovered from the addiction just now. But at the next moment, she leaned forward relentlessly, and said coquettishly: "Shen Lang, why don't you speak?"

"Princess," Shen Yurong no longer called her 'Yongning', he frowned: "It's been less than a year since my wife passed away..."

It's Xue Fangfei again! Princess Yongning hated her very much, he always said that he would keep his filial piety for Xue Fangfei, and let the world see his infatuation. But Yongning knew in his heart that this was just a reason.

The reason why he refused to marry her was because he still had that bitch in his heart! Even though Xue Fangfei was dead, he still couldn't forget it! The reason why he is tender and affectionate towards himself is also because he has an elder brother who becomes a king, and he is a princess. He only stays with him for the sake of power and wealth!

It's not that Princess Yongning doesn't understand, but it's useless to understand, because she loves him. The more restrained and polite Shen Yurong was, the more she couldn't hold back. If he stays close or far away, it is a deadly poison to her. He has Xue Fangfei in his heart, and she wants to take Xue Fangfei out of his heart little by little, and let her disappear in ashes.

What she can't get is the best, the more she can't get Shen Yurong, the more she wants it. Regardless of whether Shen Yurong's true love for her or lies, she will tie Shen Yurong by her side. In his life, he can only look at her as a woman. If you can't get his heart, you want to get his people. Now it seems that it will take some time to get this man's heart. She can't wait and loses patience, so she can't wait to get this man.

She wanted Shen Yurong to be her son-in-law.

"Shen Lang," Princess Yongning said softly, "I'm old now, and my concubine told me yesterday that she is looking for a suitable match for me... Being in the royal family, I can't decide the marriage by myself, if it wasn't for my heart You have been dealing with it all the time, I am afraid that you have become a housewife now."

Shen Yurong looked at her tenderly. Sometimes he was indifferent to Yongning, and sometimes he was fond of her. Yongning was disturbed by her and couldn't stop, such as this moment.

So her voice softened again, almost turning into a puddle of water, and her body also softened into a puddle of water, tightly wrapping Shen Yurong.

"Tell me, if my mother and concubine really marry me to someone else, will you be sad? Do you regret it?"

Shen Yurong said softly: "Naturally sad and regretful."

Princess Yongning suddenly smiled like a flower: "Then what are you waiting for, as long as I tell my concubine, this matter will be accomplished."

"But……"

"Are you going to say that you want to keep your filial piety for Xue Fangfei again?" After three times, Princess Yongning's patience finally ran out. She was still smiling, but her tone was a bit cold. face, "Shen Lang, the world knows how Xue Fangfei died. It was because of having an affair with someone. She died of shame and depression. The world complained about you. You just don't keep your filial piety. Even if you marry someone the next day, No one in the world will say that you are not alone."

"Xue Fangfei is a dead person, but I am a living person. If you want to keep a filial piety for a dead person, are you going to miss me? My brother has met you several times and has a high opinion of you. If you make me sad because of this, Brother will be angry too... I don't want to cause misunderstanding between you because of me." She was vague.

This is a blatant threat.

Shen Yurong is now being treated differently by King Cheng, and he has not yet brought into play his strengths, making King Cheng regard him as a confidant. King Cheng will rebel sooner or later, and it seems that there is still a high possibility of success. The world is full of ups and downs, and Shen Yurong also wants to do something big.

Princess Yongning can be his stepping stone, as well as his blocking stone. She can build a bridge between Shen Yurong and King Cheng, and she can also break it down.

He knows she can do it.

Shen Yurong looked at her, Princess Yongning smiled lingeringly at him, and muttered: "Shen Lang, just promise me...promise me..."

He knew that she was always impatient, when she fell in love with him, he had a wife, so he quickly got rid of Xue Fangfei. The patience she has spent on him is unprecedented. Perhaps he should be thankful that Princess Yongning has been patient with him for so long. Once she loses her patience with him and goes to someone else, he will never have a chance.

A chance to change your destiny.

Shen Yurong smiled lightly.

There was a strange sarcasm in his smile, the sarcasm disappeared in an instant, and then turned into a profound softness, he said: "Okay."

Princess Yongning's smile stopped, and she looked at him: "What did you say?" She was ready to be rejected by the other party again, but she also decided in her heart that this time, she would not take a step back, no matter if it was coercion or temptation. She will become Mrs. Shen, no matter whether Shen Yurong is willing or not.

But he actually said yes.

Princess Yongning jumped up, and for a moment, a child-like joy appeared on her proud and somewhat mean face. She hugged Shen Yurong's neck and said happily: "Shen Lang, you Agreed! Tomorrow I will go into the palace and tell the concubine mother, let the concubine mother and the emperor talk about it!"

Shen Yurong patted her on the back dotingly, and hugged her back. The servants all lowered their heads, and Princess Yongning turned her back to him. Therefore, no one saw the indifference flashing in Shen Yurong's eyes.

He knew that Princess Yongning's bottom line was there, so he had to accept it just right. Most of the time, one point more means more, and one point less means less. He has to be measured and not impatient, so that he can slowly, slowly get what he wants.

When leaving the princess mansion, Princess Yongning was very reluctant.

She hoped that Shen Yurong could stay here overnight, but Shen Yurong refused. He said that with his current status, many people in the court are staring at him, trying to get hold of him, and if someone grabs him by the pigtails, there will be trouble.

Princess Yongning had no choice but to give up, thinking that since Shen Yurong had agreed, she would soon become the wife of the other party, firmly overlord Shen Yurong alone, and felt that this moment of separation could be tolerated.

Shen Yurong walked out of the princess mansion, walked out of the street, and returned to Shen's house.

The Zhuangyuan Mansion is golden and brand new, just like the one bestowed by the emperor at the beginning. The concierge saluted him, Shen Yurong walked into the yard and stopped at the flower garden in the yard.

There was a crack in the gentle smile he had been maintaining all the time, and then he bent down, retching violently as if he was about to be disgusted by something.

When his head was dizzy and his chest was heavy, he seemed to see a pair of feet. Looking up along those feet, he was the most familiar pillow person.

The woman's face was stunning, she was overwhelmed by the country, she didn't say anything, she just looked at him quietly, as before, nothing changed, but in those cool eyes, Shen Yurong still saw the mockery.

Just like he looked at Princess Yongning mockingly.

He stretched out his hand, trying to touch the blurred shadow, and the shadow shattered.

Mother Shen's voice sounded: "Yurong, what are you doing?"

Shen Yurong swayed, stood up straight, said softly: "It's nothing." and went back to the room.

It's nothing, there are gains and losses. He lost some things, and although it was occasionally sad, he still gained more.

He finally changed his destiny, he was no longer that poor scholar whom everyone looked down upon.

A completely different life from before has just begun.

...

Ten days after Jiang Li left Tongxiang, the letter of returning to Beijing finally reached Jiang Yuanbai.

Not only the letter back to Beijing, but also the rumors in Yanjing city that Jiang Li, the second daughter of the Jiang family, was in Tongxiang, Xiangyang, making a big fuss about a criminal case, and brought the villagers to Beijing to sue.

This incident caused an uproar in Yanjing City, and there had never been such a bizarre incident in Yanjing City. A daughter of an official family is very good, but she is only going back to her hometown to visit her relatives, so why is she involved in the crime case. That's all for the case of the criminal minister, and she brought the villagers to the capital. Could it be that she wants to be the master of Qingtian, and also wants to be an official in the court?

The colleagues in the imperial court looked at Jiang Yuanbai with something wrong. Some of them belonged to the Chengwang faction, and the courtiers who were not at odds with Jiang Yuanbai deliberately said to Jiang Yuanbai: "It's really a tiger father without a dog girl! Your love is very adult, and the road is not fair. Draw your sword to help, this is a righteous act, a righteous act!"

Those in the circle of noble women think that Jiang Li is meddling in her own business, and she does so much for the sake of showing off and attracting the attention of others. She does so many tricks and shows her face all day long, which really embarrasses the official lady. It's out of the ordinary. Fortunately, it's not my sister, otherwise my reputation will be hurt.

The folks are even more curious about Jiang Li's deeds. At the beginning, Jiang Li had a great reputation in the field of inspection, and her reputation has already spread far and wide among the people. The common people couldn't wait to see what Jiang Li would do, and it almost became a joy in Yanjing City. Everyone was eagerly waiting for what Jiang Li could bring back on the day when she returned to Yanjing. What a surprise.

No matter what other people think, Jiang Yuanbai is very annoyed. Jiang Li and Ye Mingxuan went back to their hometown to see Mrs. Ye, how did they cause such a big disaster? He didn't think about this matter on Jiang Li's head, after all, Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan didn't even know each other, so naturally there was no reason to intervene in this case. Jiang Yuanbai suspected that this matter was the Ye family's idea, and most likely the Ye family intervened in the case through Jiang Li's hand.

I didn't mention the matter of the Ye family's Guxiang satin, and the other end of the weaving room ordered him to mention it tactfully, and Jiang Yuanbai knew that Jiang Li asked the weaving room to do things in his name. That's all, why the Ye family still has the name of in-laws with him, Jiang Li was in Xiangyang, rescued the Ye family, and it didn't have any impact on the Jiang family's reputation. Even if he offends a lot of people, he is a dignified chief assistant, so he won't be afraid of anyone in this regard.

But the case of the Xue family was different, not to mention that Jiang Li had caused a lot of trouble before he came back, since Xue Huaiyuan was an upright official, he could be murdered like this in the end. Feng Yutang dared to be so domineering in Tongxiang, so he naturally had something to rely on behind him. Jiang Yuanbai had already vaguely heard the rumor that a nobleman from Yanjing City was also involved behind Xue Huaiyuan's case.

Jiang Yuanbai didn't know who this noble person was. If it was before, he might not be afraid, but now Chengwang and Youxiang are watching the Jiang family covetously. Once the Jiang family is caught, his opponents will definitely make trouble. Jiang Yuanbai is now "seeking stability", so he is unwilling to cause any trouble.

As soon as Jiang Li returned to Beijing, he would restrain Jiang Li's feet, and let her reflect on herself in the mansion, so that she would know that as a member of the Jiang family, she could not act recklessly regardless of the family's reputation. It's also good to separate her from Tongxiang and the case, and send those people out.

In Shuxiu Garden.

Jiang Youyao stepped into the room without even closing the door, and asked in a pocket: "Mother, have you heard that the little bitch Jiang Li is coming back!"

On the day Jiang Li left, Jiang Yu'e became a concubine and was carried into Zhou Yanbang's mansion. Jiang Yu'e left in a hurry. I wonder if it was because she was afraid that Jiang Youyao would embarrass her if she stayed in Jiang's mansion. She moved into Zhou's mansion not long after Jiang Li left.

Shen Ruyun will not marry into the Zhou family until the beginning of spring this year.

Of the young ladies in Jiang's mansion, only Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yuyan were left. Jiang Yuyan is a timid and cowardly person. When Jiang Yu'e is not around, she is almost unwilling to leave the courtyard of the third bedroom. But even if she wasn't so cowardly, Jiang Youyao didn't bother to play with the daughter of a bastard.

These days, Jiang Youyao gradually calmed down. She thought very clearly, no matter whether she could marry Zhou Yanbang or not, there were two people who must not be let go. One is Jiang Yu'e and the other is Jiang Li. Jiang Yu'e dared to miss her fiancé, this is a provocation! The reason why Jiang Yu'e succeeded was because Jiang Li contributed to the flames, and they were in the same group!

As for Shen Ruyun, before she married into the Zhou family, she was not considered Mrs. Zhou. If that was the case, no one would have expected what would happen along the way. Who says she has no chance at all?

Jiang Youyao seemed to have grown up a lot after Zhou Yanbang's incident, and became more sinister and calm. Sometimes sitting on the side, his expression has a bit of Ji Shuran's shadow.

Ji Shuran frowned, asked the servant girl to close the door, and reprimanded: "What are you yelling for? Be careful that your father won't like it if you hear it."

Although Jiang Yuanbai was not very affectionate towards Jiang Li, she was also his own daughter, and Jiang Yuanbai was naturally displeased when he saw Jiang Youyao's insincere words and deeds.

"But she's coming back!" Jiang Youyao stomped her feet, "Mother, have you thought about how to deal with her yet!"

Ji Shuran has a headache.

When the news that Jiang Li was about to return to Beijing reached her ears, she couldn't hide her surprise. The killers sent out were all first-class experts. This matter was handled by her sister Chen Jishi, and the guards sent by Jiang Li were not the opponents of those people.

She has been anxiously waiting for a reply in Yanjing City, but there has been no reply for a long time. Ji Shuran was already feeling uneasy until Jiang Yuanbai received the letter.

She gritted her teeth, it seemed that Jiang Li had escaped a catastrophe. Otherwise, it is impossible for such a long time, those people have not succeeded. She is so capable!

Jiang Youyao didn't know her secret arrangement, so she said impatiently: "Mother, what should we do now? She caused me to become the laughing stock of Yanjing City, and caused me to lose Zhou Shizi. I must not let her go!"

"I know." Ji Shuran sighed, "I will find a way to solve this matter. Don't worry, she has caused so much trouble before she returns to Yanjing. Your father is already very displeased. Your grandmother this time And I won't be on her side. If she really offends someone who shouldn't be offended, she will kill herself without me taking action. There will be a long time to come. After all, I am still the wife of the big house. If I want to take action against her, there are plenty of opportunities " She looked at Jiang Youyao with a slightly serious expression, "It's you, Youyao. Zhou Shizi has passed away, and mother will find a better husband-in-law for you in the future. Don't miss him anymore. You want him now. It is impossible to marry into the Zhou family again."

Jiang Youyao's eye circles turned red immediately, and she said, "I know, mother, I won't."

Ji Shuran asked the maid to take a handkerchief, and while wiping Jiang Youyao's tears, said: "Mother is not trying to make you sad. You are Mother's daughter, and Mother naturally hopes that you will live well and not let you be wronged. The Zhou family has decided to let Shen Ruyun Even if you enter the door, for the sake of Mrs. Xiao Shen, you will not be allowed to have contact with Zhou Shizi again. Of course, I don't like people like the Zhou family."

"There are tens of thousands of men in the world, and Zhou Yanbang is not alone. You deserve better, and no one can compare with you." Ji Shuran said softly.

Jiang Youyao buried her face in Ji Shuran's arms, and her hands hidden in her sleeves gradually clenched into fists.

In the end not reconciled.

...

The news of Jiang Li spread wildly, reaching Jiang's family, and naturally also reaching Zhou's family.

Jiang Yu'e is doing laundry in the yard.

Her long hair was tied into a woman's bun, and the clothes she was wearing were splashed with water, which was worse than when she was in the third room of the Jiang family. A few maids stood aside, talking nonchalantly, as if they hadn't seen Jiang Yu'e doing laundry hard.

Jiang Yu'e felt very humiliated.

She has never lived like a servant like this. Even in the Jiang family, she needs to please Ji Shuran's mother and daughter, but in name, at least she is the young lady of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has never treated her badly.

But since she entered the Zhou mansion, what was waiting for her was not Zhou Yanbang's tenderness. Even on his wedding night, he just took one look at her and left. Since then, he has never been to his yard again. She entered the Zhou family as a concubine, and the servants of the Zhou family did not regard her as their master. It's common to laugh at her behind her back, and now she's even confident, and doesn't take her seriously in person.

Jiang Yu'e wanted to talk to someone, but she didn't know who to talk to. She couldn't even talk about the gate of Zhou's house, and Zhou's family said that she "climbed into bed while the young master was drunk".

Jiang Yu'e hated Zhou Yanbang, Jiang Youyao, and Jiang Li even more. If it wasn't for Jiang Li's mistake at the beginning, why would she be here.

She almost wanted to vent all her anger on the laundry, and while washing, a pair of boots suddenly stopped in front of her.

Jiang Yu'e was startled, and slowly raised her head.

Zhou Yanbang's handsome face appeared in front of her eyes, and Jiang Yu'e couldn't believe her eyes.

For so many days, Zhou Yanbang has never seen her. Jiang Yu'e gradually understood that at the beginning she thought that Zhou Yanbang had a little bit of affection for her, but now it seems that she doesn't have the slightest bit of affection. He hated himself for ruining his official career, made a fool of himself at the palace banquet, and ended his marriage with the Jiang family.

He's blaming himself for everything, he's punishing himself.

Jiang Yu'e tremblingly said: "My son..."

Zhou Yanbang looked at him coldly, all of his past gentleness and elegance were gone, after the palace banquet, he seemed to be a different person, gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking. He glanced at what Jiang Yu'e was doing, and said, "I heard that Jiang Li is going back to Beijing."

Jiang Yu'e was taken aback for a moment, she also heard about Jiang Li's departure from Beijing, and heard that people who went to Xiangyang to visit Ye's family. It's ridiculous, a merchant, there is nothing to see, and I haven't contacted for more than ten years, pretending.

"Jiang Yu'e, do you want to be my man?" Zhou Yanbang looked at her condescendingly, with a very frivolous tone.

But Jiang Yu'e didn't feel insulted, instead she was pleasantly surprised.

"When Jiang Li returns to Beijing, help me lure Jiang Li out." He said.

Here comes the dregs and public lifts that you don't like. All the big babies who took the college entrance examination today are cheering! All gold list titles!
