Marriage of the Di Daughter

At the entrance of Lizheng Hall, Jiang Li stood calmly.

As soon as the words "Jiang Yuanfu's direct daughter" came out, the crowd fell silent for a moment.

After all, Xiangyang is not the city of Yanjing. People who are far away in Xiangyang already look up to someone who is an official in Yanjing, let alone Yuanfu, the head of literati. Only then did people remember that Ye Zhenzhen, the youngest daughter of the Ye family, was married to Jiang Yuanbai, who is now the chief assistant. It's just that Ye Zhenzhen died later, and the Ye family and the Jiang family didn't see each other for more than ten years, and the people in Xiangyang gradually put this matter behind them.

Now Jiang Li took the initiative to bring up her identity, and thought of Ye Jiaer's call to Jiang Li as "cousin" before, and seeing Jiang Li's dress, manner and conversation did not look like a girl from a small family, the common people who came to make trouble believed it Seventy percent.

"You are Miss Jiang's family, so you can't bully others!" said a thin-faced man in the crowd. After saying this, he hid behind a strong man in front, as if trying to hide his face.

"Yes, how can you bully others!"

"The Jiang family wants to protect their in-laws, the Ye family. Officials and businessmen have colluded with each other!"

The words from the thin and long face immediately set the crowd on fire again. Ye Jia'er looked at Jiang Li worriedly. It's nothing more than an accident in the Ye family. People associate the Ye family with the Jiang family and pour dirty water on the Jiang family. Jiang Yuanbai is a high-ranking official in Yanjing City. What to do.

Ye Rufeng also frowned.

Jiang Li didn't move, she just stood there with a smile on her face, neither immediately retorting angrily, nor panicking as acquiescence. Her smile is as flat as falling into water, her eyes are gentle, but there seems to be an invisible majesty. When people meet her eyes, they will unconsciously quiet down.

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Only then did Jiang Li speak, and she said: "Our Jiang family is not polite to our daughters. My father is the most fair and clear. How can we cover it up?"

It was only then that everyone remembered that this young lady was not sent to the nunnery for killing her mother and brother many years ago. In this way, Jiang Yuanbai was indeed not a person who would protect his relatives.

But is it really good for her to remind others to think of her evil deeds?

Ye Jiaer and Ye Rufeng looked at each other, both of them were a little puzzled.

Jiang Li doesn't mind what others think of her, she just asked: "Dare to ask everyone, where did you know about Gu Xiangdu's problem?"

"The tailor shop is talking about it!" The woman at the front replied: "Now Xiangyang knows about it, and Tong Zhifu has brought Master Ye's family back to the yamen for trial!"

Trial?

Jiang Li sneered in her heart, it turned out that was the idea. The clearer her heart was, the more sincere the smile on her face, she just said: "I don't know, when will it be the Yamen's turn to take care of weaving."

This remark was nonsensical, and someone asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The biggest official in Xiangyang City is probably Tong Zhiyang, the magistrate. I think Tong Zhiyang is too big an official, and he even forgets what to do and what not to do."

She called Tong Zhiyang by her first name, and the people around her were shocked. They didn't expect the girl to be so bold and arrogant. But after thinking about it, she didn't dare to call Tong Zhiyang by his name in front of her, after all, there was Yuanfu's father behind him.

"It's true that Tong Zhiyang should take care of it when someone dies, but I've never heard of a weaving problem, and he, the magistrate, should take care of it. If it's all in Xiangyang, it's fine. Ye's ancient satin is not just sold to Xiangyang. People, Yanjing is also mostly worn by dignitaries. As you said, it is not accidental that people wear ancient satin to death. I think that apart from the problem of ancient satin in Xiangyang, there are also problems with ancient satin in other places. .”

"If the ladies and ladies of Yanjing City are also killed by Gu Xiangdu, the waves will be big. Such a big matter, which concerns the life and death of the entire Beiyan people, is in the hands of a little Tong Zhiyang Here, I see how courageous he is!"

In the last sentence, the voice was accentuated and very severe, which made people's hearts tremble.

As soon as Ah Shun heard this, he was almost overwhelmed by this young lady. It was originally a trouble for the Ye family, but it seemed to be a good thing to be said by Miss Jiang in a few words, and Jiang Li was even more determined to beat Tong Zhiyang up, and now she scolded Tong Zhiyang even more like a dog. It made him feel very refreshed.

Both Ah Shun and Ye Mingyu are like Jianghu people. They can't understand Tong Zhiyang's bureaucratic tone, but the Ye family can't offend Tong Zhiyang. Who makes him the biggest official in Xiangyang? But Jiang Li dared to speak, scold, and suppress!

I just don't know how Tong Zhiyang felt when these words reached Tong Zhiyang's ears.

Jiang Li's words really shocked many people. One person asked cautiously: "Miss Jiang Er, this matter should not be handled by Zhifu Tong, who should be in charge?"

"Of course it is the weaving order of Yanjing City. All weaving problems in the whole country are under the control of the weaving room. As you said, if there is a problem with the ancient satin of the Ye family, it should be written down and sent to Yanjing by the magistrate. The Weaving Order, the Weaving Order will send officials to Xiangyang to thoroughly investigate the matter." Jiang Li said: "It's good for Tong Zhiyang, he directly arrested him and tried the case, but he didn't mention the issue of reporting to the Weaving Order. What do you want? I think he just wants to protect the Ye family!"

Lu Ji, who was on the opposite side, was amazed, and said: "This Second Miss Jiang, the ability to turn black and white is really amazing!"

"It's not just confusing black and white, you can see that she is also very skilled in bullying people." Ji Heng said.

After Jiang Li said this, the crowd was a little dazed, a little dazed. They are all common people, and some are officials, that is, sesame and mung bean officials. How do they know what these officials in Yanjing City are in charge of. I don't even understand the weaving part. Jiang Li's words don't look fake.

Someone asked: "Miss Jiang Er, can the weaving order really take care of these things?"

"The land under your feet is the land of Beiyan. These people are all the people of the emperor. Officials do things for the people. The existence of the weaving order is to solve the problems that arise in the weaving area. Of course they can do things. It's just that Tong Zhiyang is very strange now, instead of reporting this matter, he wants to solve it by himself, has he solved such a big matter?" Jiang Li's tone was just right with a hint of disdain.

"Why didn't prefect Tong report this matter?"

"That's not clear." Jiang Li pointed out, "Maybe Tong Zhifu has been an official in Xiangyang for a long time, and he doesn't even know the basic official orders and job applications. He has the world in his heart and wants to do everything by himself." Jiang Li smiled sincerely , "Such a good official, when I return to Yanjing, I must tell my father, let him know that there is such a person, and it is really overkill to be a magistrate in Xiangyang."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Anyone can hear the sarcasm in Jiang Li's words, and any fool knows that this prefect Tong is probably going to be in trouble. Miss Jiang Er doesn't seem like an easy person to mess with. If she tells Jiang Yuanbai about this, Jiang Yuanbai will of course understand that Tong Zhiyang has overstepped his authority.

"Prefect Tong is concerned about the country and the people, and wants to try the case by himself, but we can't let him be tired." Jiang Li joked, "I have already written this matter back to Xiangyang. After receiving the letter, my father will find the weaving room in person. Ling explained that people from Weaver Order will come to Xiangyang soon."

"Really?"

"As Miss Jiang, I swear to you." Jiang Li smiled.

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and such a smile, as if spring flowers were blooming, softened the tense atmosphere just now.

"I think you guys are not here to smash Lizheng Hall, but to find a solution to this matter. Everything should be done according to the rules. If it is the fault of the Ye family, of course the Ye family must admit it, but the weaving room order Before coming here, the Ye family didn't want to take responsibility for the trumped-up charges. Everyone who came here today, it's not early and it's hard work. We will do our best. Tonger," she told the maid, "those The banknotes come out."

Jiang Li said: "I would like to ask you all to do me a favor. In order to preserve the evidence, I hope that the ancient satin you bought can be taken back. Of course, when you take it back, you will also be compensated. In addition to the original purchase price of the ancient satin, There are also some compensations. We are trying our best to achieve a happy ending for this matter. But please give the Ye family some more time, please trust the Ye family, after all, the Ye family has never had any problems in the past few decades." She said: "With the past friendship, it's not too much to ask for trust at this moment, right?"

She said it very seriously.

A serious girl is beautiful, and the solution she proposes is also beautiful, and silver is even more beautiful. After all, the purpose of these people coming today is nothing more than asking for money. There is a real problem, the Ye family is not a doctor, and they can't control the rash on their bodies to get better, the most they can do is get money and find a doctor to cure it.

Jiang Li played both soft and hard ways, these people can't get cheap and act good, and the most important thing is that they can't do anything about the daughter of the chief minister.

Moreover, Jiang Li blamed Tong Zhiyang for the reason. If Tong Zhiyang had reported to the weaving order earlier, the Ye family's problem would have been resolved long ago, so how could it be delayed until now.

Someone said: "That's how it is. Miss Jiang Er, you must let the weaver order come to Xiangyang earlier."

"Yes, but it can't be delayed."

Jiang Li said: "Don't worry, everyone, give us the ancient satin that you wore, and these must also be handed over to Zhishiling. I'm afraid that if I don't hand it over to Zhishiling, Tong Zhifu will have to do it myself."

The common people laughed loudly, there was no more hostility from before, and they all went to find the used ancient satin for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li gave Ye Jiaer a wink, and Ye Jiaer immediately ordered the people to prepare the silver and manpower, and she felt relieved. Things that can be solved with money are nothing, and the right is to save money and avoid disasters. If it weren't for Jiang Li to control the situation today, I don't know how much trouble will happen. Before leaving, Ye Minghui specially told Li Zhengtang to be handed over to their siblings. If Ye Minghui and Ye Mingxuan returned to Jiang's house and saw Li Zhengtang in a mess, she and Ye Rufeng would have no face to face others.

Thinking of this, Ye Jiaer's heart was full of gratitude to Jiang Li.

Ye Rufeng looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. Since he was a child, he knew Jiang Li's bad words to Ye's family, and also knew her bad deeds of "killing her mother and younger brother". Ye Rufeng hated Jiang Li very much. Willing to be with it. Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Li who rescued the Ye family today. Although she used Jiang Yuanbai's name as a bully, her calmness and composure were something she didn't have.

This person... really makes people unable to like or hate him. Ye Rufeng was tangled in his heart.

On the teahouse opposite, Ji Heng looked out the window and asked, "How is the play?"

Lu Ji clapped her hands "pa, pa, pa" and said: "I just found out today that a fifteen-year-old girl can have such great abilities. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would only think it was a legend fabricated by others." .”

"Yes." Ji Heng exhaled lightly, "At the age of fifteen, you can single-handedly sing a big show."

"She dealt with it well, but she is not afraid that Jiang Shoufu in the capital will blame her when she finds out about it." Lu Ji said: "Jiang Yuanbai is an old fox, very cunning, and it is too late to avoid such troubles. I don't think her daughter is willing to use it." right."

"You didn't notice?" Ji Heng lit the window with a fan, "She just carried out Jiang Yuanbai on purpose."

"Huh? Because Jiang Yuanbai is the chief assistant, Tong Zhiyang will be afraid? Behind Tong Zhiyang is the Li family..."

"That's right." Ji Heng smiled playfully, "Second Miss Jiang wants the Jiang family and the Li family to confront each other, and the conflict has intensified and cannot be reconciled."

Lu Ji was taken aback: "Why?"

"Then it depends on what she's drawing."

Just as he was talking, Lu Ji suddenly said "ahh".

On the street not far away, a girl stood under the eaves, her eyes passed through the crowd with precision, and landed on the window of this tea house.

"It was discovered." Ji Heng smiled and shook his fan, "Oops."

Jiang Li is taking Tong'er out.

After finally solving Li Zhengtang's troubles for the time being, Jiang Li wanted to order the guards to inquire about Ye Mingyu's news. This Tong Zhiyang seemed confident, she was Jiang Yuanbai's daughter after all, even if she was Jiang Yuanbai's fan, Tong Zhiyang would be a little more polite.

Unexpectedly, just after walking out of Lizheng Hall, Jiang Li felt someone's eyes watching her, followed her intuition to look up, but saw a familiar red robe, and the gently shaking gold silk folding fan.

Ji Heng?

why is he here !

Jiang Li was startled, and subconsciously wondered if Ji Heng followed her to Xiangyang? But probably not, not to mention that the name of my return to Xiangyang this time is to visit Mrs. Ye, even if there is any doubt about my behavior, the majestic Su Guogong will not stare at me every day. This Su Guogong is unfathomable, he is a person who does great things, and he will not be so boring.

But... Jiang Li glanced at the small window of the teahouse, from which she could see everything in Lizheng Hall. This Su Guogong loves watching dramas the most. He must have never missed the drama from beginning to end, or rather, he arrived before Jiang Li's arrival. Watch the fun.

What a nuisance.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, no matter what the purpose of Duke Su was, she had to go up and meet him. Find out what the other party is here for. If they don't intersect with each other, he can naturally watch the show and just don't intervene. If there is a conflict...she will weigh it up and see.

Jiang Li told Tong'er and Bai Xue a few words, and walked to the teahouse alone.

"Here we come." Lu Ji raised his beard, "My lord, to tell you the truth, I'm still a little afraid of this Second Miss Jiang."

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Heng played with the folding fan, "It's just a little girl."

"Miss Jiang Er is not an ordinary little girl," Lu Ji also smiled. "She is both kind and powerful. She is very comfortable in the officialdom. She has learned Jiang Yuanbai's style to ten percent, but I don't understand. She is not After staying in the nunnery for eight years and not being by Jiang Yuanbai's side for eight years, how can she be so proficient in officialdom rules. It seems that Jiang Yuanbai taught her personally, so as long as she is her own flesh and blood, she will naturally inherit this point?"

Ji Heng glanced at him: "That's not something that ordinary people can inherit."

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Li's wrist looks incredible. But even though she didn't follow Jiang Yuanbai for eight years, she really followed Xue Huaiyuan for dozens of years. Xue Huaiyuan is an upright and good official, but Tongxiang is not without flattery and sycophantic bad officials. Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao have seen more officialdom skills than ordinary people, and because of their small official positions, they have a deeper feeling.

The two were talking, when the boy who led the way knocked on the door, and Jiang Li came in.

As soon as Jiang Li entered the door, she saw Ji Heng and the green-clothed scribe at the Jinmantang meeting last time.

"What a coincidence," Ji Heng said pretendingly, "I met Miss Jiang Er here."

At this time, this person made a very surprised look, and Jiang Li was noncommittal. In terms of Ji Heng's way of putting eyeliner everywhere in the palace, I'm afraid he has figured out what's going on in Xiangyang on the first day he came to Xiangyang. My every move is under the nose of this femme fatale.

But the other party was going to play, so she had to pretend not to know and follow along, and said with a smile: "I am also very surprised that I will meet the Duke of Guo here." She asked suspiciously, "I don't know why the Duke of Guo came to Xiangyang. Woolen cloth?"

Ji Heng looked at her with a smile, and after a long while said two words: "Business."

He didn't say anything, but he said everything, at least not for her. Ji Heng has a characteristic, he doesn't tell the truth, what he says is like his charming eyes, not sincere. But he doesn't tell lies, at least he doesn't tell lies.

Jiang Li's heart was relieved. She didn't want the Duke to focus on her. What she was going to do should not be known by outsiders, nor did she want to be known by outsiders. Especially the Duke of the State, who may have a lot of relationship with King Cheng. The brothers and sisters of King Cheng are her enemies, and she will never associate with them.

I can only deal with it patiently.

"The Ye family seems to be in trouble." Ji Heng looked at Li Zhengtang not far from the window, "If it wasn't for you, Li Zhengtang would have been reduced to ruins."

After he said it, there was a bit of regret in his tone. Jiang Li couldn't hold back, and blurted out, "Why does the Duke seem to hope that Lizheng Hall will be turned into ruins?"

"I can't help it," Ji Heng replied with a very troublesome answer, "I love watching theater."

These words really made people unable not to be angry, and Jiang Lipi replied with a half-smile, "Master Guo is really in a good mood, he can make a play out of anything."

"But there are very few people as wonderful as Second Miss." Ji Heng replied solemnly.

"I'm the same as the Duke of the State," Jiang Li gritted her teeth, "I don't want to be an actor."

"That's a pity," Ji Heng regretted, "I still thought that when I met you in Xiangyang this time, there would be another good show to watch."

"What?" Jiang Li looked at him.

The brilliance in his beautiful eyes flowed like a vortex, luring people to fall into obsession. He said with a half-smile: "I have a hunch that Second Miss Jiang will sing a lot of good shows in Xiangyang."

"Isn't the Duke here for official business?" Jiang Li smiled, "How can you lose your ambition?"

"The show is so exciting, I can't bear to miss it." He stared at Jiang Li, without blinking his eyes, and said provocatively between his lips and teeth.

Jiang Li scolded Ji Heng for being shameless in her heart. Ji Heng is now in her twenties, but Second Miss Jiang is just a young girl, and he can still seduce her with her beauty without caring. When Xue Fangfei had an accident, everyone in Yanjing scolded Xue Fangfei for being dissolute because of her beauty, but no one scolded Ji Heng for committing crimes because of her beauty!

Jiang Li stared at Ji Heng for a while, then suddenly said: "Did you hear the Duke, I just scolded Tong Zhiyang at the gate of Lizheng Hall."

"I heard." Ji Heng nodded.

"My lord thinks that I'm right?" Jiang Li wanted to show Ji Heng's attitude. Now Jiang Li guessed that Tong Zhiyang was instructed by the Li family. Does Ji Heng know Li Lian, the young master of the Li family? Li wanted to know if Ji Heng knew that this matter was related to the Li family, and if he would intervene in this matter when he came to Xiangyang. If Ji Heng intervened, things would be much more difficult.

"Second Miss Jiang asked me to watch the show without saying a word," Ji Heng said with a smile, "I don't know."

This person doesn't eat hard and soft, and doesn't leak water, which is really frustrating.

Jiang Li said: "It would be great if the Duke could watch the show without saying a word."

Ji Heng just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Li said on her own: "Tong Zhiyang has a brother-in-law of Zhong Guanling, and Zhong Guanling belongs to the right minister's youngest son Li Lian. Speaking of which, this Tong Zhiyang is still the right minister. I really dare not underestimate him." Woolen cloth."

Ji Heng paused slightly with the hand holding the fan, and looked at Jiang Li with a bit of thought.

Lu Ji was taken aback, Jiang Li even knew this? Even Jiang Li's father, Jiang Yuanbai, may not remember all these twists and turns. It is impossible for Jiang Li to know these things in advance, and it is impossible to check the official book that Jiang Yuanbai has. How does she know?

Ji Heng: "It seems that Second Miss knows all about these things like the back of her hand."

"Because my father is the chief assistant." Jiang Li said softly: "Our Jiang family has made many enemies, and one accidentally fell into the way of others. The Li family on the right and my father are deadly enemies. People, you have to remember it well, otherwise you will be tricked by pawns without knowing it, and it will be a disaster."

Ji Heng smiled: "With Second Miss Jiang here, I don't think the Jiang family will be counted against, and it will last for a hundred years."

"Grandpa Guo is joking," Jiang Li said, "The power behind Prime Minister Right is not small, how dare we touch eggs with stones."

There was some clever cunning in her eyebrows, and although her tone was gentle and polite, she was tempting every step of the way. Fighting against Ji Heng, there is no downside. Lu Ji was a little surprised. If the person sitting here was a middle-aged person or a young person, he would not be so surprised. But it happened to be a girl in her teens, and she was also a daughter of a boudoir.

She is very smart, has wrists, speaks righteously, but has Guan Hai's cunning. He is loyal, cunning, and not afraid of Ji Heng.

What a special little girl, not at all like Jiang Yuanbai.

"Oh?" Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, "When you scolded Tong Zhiyang at the door just now, you weren't afraid at all."

Jiang Li smiled sweetly: "It's for the people, for the people, not to mention Tong Zhiyang, even if Li Zhongnan, the Prime Minister of the Right, comes, I'm not afraid."

Lu Ji was almost overwhelmed!

When it comes to speaking official language, he thinks he has a lot of experience, but this little girl has a set of tricks, she talks nonsense when she sees people, she doesn't blush and her heart doesn't beat, and her frank and upright appearance makes people speechless.

Ji Heng was also speechless.

I don't know how long it took, he gave a "chi" smile, not just ridiculed but really found Jiang Li's words funny, he said: "Second Miss is admirable."

"However, this time, the Prime Minister will be angered more or less." Jiang Li sighed, "There is nothing I can do about it."

"The right minister will not anger you." Ji Heng smiled, "For the common people."

Jiang Li said: "That's the best." She stood up, patted the dust on her sleeves that hadn't had time to be brushed off—it was rubbed against by the common people who came to make trouble in Lizheng Hall—and said to Ji Heng: "I just saw it." When the Duke is here, I came up to say hello. Now that the greetings are over, my cousin is still busy, I have to help, so I won't gossip with the Duke." She greeted Ji Hengfu politely. Yifu, "Farewell."

Ji Heng didn't intend to see her off, and replied with a light smile: "Second Miss Jiang, please go."

Jiang Li smiled and walked out of the tea room calmly. Faced with Ji Heng several times, although she was still vigilant, it could be seen that she had become more calm when dealing with Ji Heng.

This little girl is growing up fast.

Jiang Li left the tea room and walked downstairs, her heart beating fast.

Just now, she said that "the right minister will be angered more or less this time" was a test, and the result of the test was that Tong Zhiyang's incident against the Ye family was indeed related to the right minister. Because Ji Heng said "The right minister will not blame you", but he acquiesced to the existence of Li Zhongnan.

Jiang Li lowered her eyes, and Li Zhongnan meddled in. No wonder Tong Zhiyang was so courageous. But so what? Just taking this opportunity to make matters worse, pulling the banner of the Jiang family, completely cutting off the delicate balance between the Right Prime Minister and the Jiang family, and also eliminating the possibility of King Cheng trying to win over Jiang Yuanbai.

Let Cheng Wang and the Jiang family become irreconcilable enemies, either you die or I live. In this way, Jiang Yuanbai can break the boat and attack King Cheng without hesitation, in an upright manner.

That's what she's for.

In the room, Lu Ji looked at Jiang Li's back going away downstairs, sighed deeply, and said: "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the future generations are fearful, and the future generations are fearful."

Jiang Li taught him a big lesson. He was only fifteen years old when he had this kind of scheming. I don't know how it will grow to an admirable level in a few years.

"Fucked." Ji Heng said suddenly.

"What?" Lu Ji was taken aback.

"So you were trying to trick me just now." Ji Heng thought of something, and suddenly laughed, "Tong Zhiyang is not her opponent."

He said: "The little girl is very smart."

Every time I meet the Duke, I become a madman_(:зゝ∠)_
