The cold wind blows slowly, and the streets are deserted and deserted.
The Zhou family's villa in the capital is a garden located in the northeast, called Guiyuan.
After Gu Yan came out of Jiang's house, he came straight back to resume his life.
He told Zhou Ling that Mrs. Jiang had chosen a pair of bracelets full of emerald green, and that Wang Xiu had chosen a bracelet with gold and green background.
After hearing this, Zhou Ling glanced at the other bracelets that Gu Yan brought back and said calmly: "Put them back in the warehouse."
After Gu Yan left, Zhou Ling raised his head and his eyes were slightly startled.
He sent the flawless jade bracelet, naturally hoping that Wang Xiu could choose it. That was the opportunity he gave Wang Xiu. The Zhou family never made enemies without any reason. Zheng Sihan's case was an exception, so he couldn't retaliate blindly.
.
Fortunately, Wang Xiu understood his intention, but this further proved Wang Xiu's ability and broadmindedness.
Compared to his useless niece, the two are not on the same level at all. Even if Zheng Sihanshi is given ten more chances, she will not be Wang Xiu's opponent.
Zhou Ling raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically, lowered his head, and continued polishing his jade pendant.
…
On the twenty-eighth day of the winter lunar month, Lu Yunhong left Beijing.
Because it was in such a hurry, not many people knew about it.
When Zhou Ling got the news, his eyes moved slightly and he said: "Just keep an eye on Jin Ling."
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Yan hurriedly came to report and said: "Master Qi was right. Lu Yunhong indeed transferred to Jinling. However, he used the identity of the hermit "Hanchi" and was recommended by people from Dafang Pawnshop and delivered it in person.
To go to King An."
Zhou Ling couldn't help but laugh. Lu Yunhong really had other plans, and the thing he wanted to do was with King An.
It's just that according to the previous investigation, Lu Yunhong's true feelings for Wang Xiuqing are definitely not fake. So why is it like this now...?
Zhou Ling said: "If you can bribe Shi Tong, so can Lu Yunhong. You have to start with Shi Tong and find out the purpose of Lu Yunhong going to Jinling."
Gu Yan nodded quickly and said seriously: "Master Qi, don't worry, I understand."
…
After Lu Yunhong left, the eldest princess went to the Lu family to visit Wang Xiu.
As a result, she saw Ji Yunwei's excited figure. He was holding a playbook he had found somewhere in his hand. When he saw her, he was also stunned.
"Your Highness is here?"
"Please come inside quickly. My sister-in-law is in the Nuan Pavilion. I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry. Looking at his back, he looked so happy.
The eldest princess went to Nuange and found that Wang Xiu was writing a play, writing very seriously.
The eldest princess did not disturb her, quietly walked up to take a look, and found that she was writing something about "The Hot Scholar".
"Is this the one Ji Yunwei took out just now?"
Wang Xiu's ink strokes became heavier. He turned back to look at the eldest princess and said calmly: "Yes, it's just the first two chapters."
The eldest princess said: "I thought you would feel uncomfortable after Lu Yunhong left the capital. Who knew you could be more calm than me?"
Wang Xiu couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you afraid of? Even if he wants to take a concubine, he still needs my nod, right?"
"What's more, I know he won't!"
Wang Xiu said and handed the play he wrote to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess just glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to it at first. Who knew that she was suddenly attracted by this look.
When she finished reading it intently, she felt as if she had discovered something new and strange, and for a moment she was at a loss.
When she looked up at Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu said excitedly: "How?"
The eldest princess swallowed her saliva and said in disbelief: "Is this okay?"
Wang Xiu took the script and explained with a smile: "We'll find out if it works or not. I won't be the one to act anyway."
The eldest princess: "..."
"I'd better move here to live with you, so that you don't have to worry about Lu Yunhong not being at home, Ji Yunwei coming in and out, and others gossiping."
Wang Xiu immediately said: "Okay, then I will have company at night."
The eldest princess smiled and told Nanny Lu to go back and clean up, and she stayed that night.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace gave Laba porridge to the Lu family.
The whole Lu Mansion was lively and lively. The eldest princess also asked the troupe of Fumengyuan to sing. Although Lu Yunhong was not here, the Lu family was full of joy and no one was unhappy.
At this time, someone from the palace came to report that Wang Lin had returned to the capital and had gone to the palace to resume his duties.
In the evening, Wang Xiu was invited to go to the palace so that the whole family could get together.
Naturally, the eldest princess would not stop her. Even if she asked Wang Xiu to take Chengxi there, she would also go back to the princess mansion.
Just like that, after a while, the huge Lu Mansion seemed to be evacuated and withered.
Xia Yan looked at his grandson who was eating Laba porridge alone and said: "Earlier, your eldest brother and others said they would come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year and come to see you. I didn't think you would like it, so I refused."
"But right now, shouldn't you start a family? It's good to have more than one person with you during the New Year and the holidays."
After hearing this, Pei Shan said calmly: "My wife will be back tomorrow, I don't need anyone else to accompany me."
"Besides, aren't the two junior sisters-in-law still at home?"
After hearing this, Xia Yan knew that he still had no plans to start a family, so he sighed and said nothing more.
After all, Wang Xiu did not leave her two sisters-in-law alone at home, and came back before Hai hour in the evening. The Wang family had scattered a lot of wedding money and candy, and she brought them back, even Pei Shan had a share.
Under the dim light, Xia Yan watched his grandson stupidly counting the wedding money on the kang. It was packed in a red bag, the size of a palm. There were some golden beans and a few candies in it.
Pei Shan couldn't bear to eat any of them, so he hid them all in a box.
When Xia Yan saw this, he couldn't help but smile, but then he thought that Pei Shanhuo was so old but there were only a few people who loved him, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
That's all, if you don't want to get married, just let him take it easy.
Anyway, the Lu family didn't treat him like an outsider, just pampering him like a child, which was pretty good.
…
Wang Lin returned to Beijing, was promoted to a higher rank, and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongxin.
The emperor personally gave him a mansion, gold, Zhuangzi, etc. It can be said that he was extremely honored.
Wang Wenbo held a grand banquet, and even the prince and eldest princess came to congratulate him, which was a great honor to the Wang family.
Everyone thought that Wang Lin would take the opportunity to beg his brother-in-law for reinstatement or something like that? Who knew that there had been no news about the Wang family's banquet in the past few days. On the contrary, as the New Year was approaching, theaters all over the capital were full, and "The Hot Scholar" was played.
Coming out of the world is like thunder.
The play tells the story of a lady who fell in love with a scholar, but her parents did not agree. She had no choice but to separate from the scholar and married a high-ranking official. To her surprise, she found herself in the official's mansion.
I met the scholar again. The two met again, told each other about their love, and agreed to elope and leave the official. But on the day of their elopement, they were caught by the official. The young lady thought she would die, and was about to risk her life.
She was ordered to protect the scholar, but the official knocked her unconscious with a wave of his hand and carried the scholar back...
