The courtyard in front of your order is where Xuanji lives now. She stood by the window in the attic, observing the position of the sun on the roof, guessing that it was almost time, and walked to the stairs.
There are too many memories in this courtyard and in the attic. However, so much time has passed, and the familiar atmosphere has indeed long since disappeared.
As soon as she walked down the wooden stairs, she suddenly heard faint sobbing coming from outside. The young girl's cry seemed to be painful and sad, but the timbre was so delicate that it suddenly made Xuan Ji confused. She had been through so much.
For a long time, I didn't expect to meet soon, but I became more and more anxious and prone to random thoughts.
Xuan Ji walked out of the door and saw a maid sitting on the eaves, brushing her boots and crying there. She was not even lazy when crying. Every time she brushed hard, she cried because of her breathing. The sound was quite loud.
Rhythm, no wonder it sounds so strange.
"Who bullied you?" Xuan Ji asked.
The maid raised her head and glanced at Xuan Ji, but remained silent. She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and continued working.
Xuanji thought for a moment and said, "Has my mother been here?"
The maid just said "hmm". Probably because the girl was standing next to her, she subconsciously wanted to express herself, so she reached into the moccasin boots with a brush and scrubbed hard and fast, making a "squeaking" sound, and occasionally rotating and squeezing.
He pressed the leather to clean it, looking very skillful. The brush was dipped in a lot of water, and it was flowing along the outside of the boots.
Xuan Ji felt her face was getting hot, so she hurried forward and passed by the maid. Then she remembered and turned around and said, "Today we are going to the General's Mansion.
,do not Cry."
When the maid heard this, she raised her head and her tearful eyes showed a moved look, "I washed my boots and went to pack my things."
Xuan Ji said: "Okay."
After saying that, she walked out of the courtyard and walked along the familiar path, directly between the main door of the mansion and the front hall gatehouse. She planned to go to the front hall courtyard first, and when she saw movement, she would walk out. She could get there at the gatehouse.
"Encounter" Qin Liang.
Unexpectedly, the timing was so clever. As soon as Xuanji reached the front hall gatehouse, she saw Wang Gongyuan and others coming out and going to greet the carriage that had just entered the mansion.
Gongyuan greeted her, "My sister is here just in time. Zhongming and Lingjun have come back to offer sacrifices." Zhuge Shu also greeted Xuanji and called her "my sister."
Xuanji returned the gift to her brother and sister-in-law, but kept her eyes on the carriage. However, Xuanji was not as particular about etiquette as Lingjun, so it was normal for her not to be serious.
At this time, Xuanji's eyes will certainly not miss the carriage!
One of her favorite scenes is when Qin Liang steps out of the back of the carriage and bends down. Even if he bends down, he still feels a bit oppressive in the eyes of the woman, with his handsome appearance and heroic look in his eyes.
, the condescending demeanor, and the feeling of a humble gentleman in the leaning posture. Qin Liang is usually greeted by people when he gets off the car. In the respectful attitude of everyone, he is free and easy.
The most important moment came later, when Qin Liang showed a polite smile to the person who greeted him. Inadvertently, his eyes would pause on Xuan Ji's face. No matter how many people were present, he could find her at once
Xuan Ji cast her gaze for a moment, as if there was only one thing in her eyes.
There is Xuanji! Even though he would immediately look away to hide his eyes from others, the surprise hidden in his smile seemed to Xuanji to be indescribably warm.
That look is like the afterglow after the light, and it will always stay in front of Xuan Ji for a long time. At this time, it is time for her to use the "empty mind technique", otherwise it will be easy for others to see that the man and woman are flirting with each other!
Xuanji almost held her breath and looked at the carriage feeling a little suffocated. The dignified Lingjun got out of the carriage first, and the next person who got off was a maid. Then there was no one?
Looking around the carriage, there were no other vehicles, and the guards came on horses.
Xuan Ji felt disappointed and her nose felt a little sore.
Ling Jun stepped forward to greet everyone, and naturally he did not neglect Xuan Ji. He bowed to her and called her "aunt" in a polite manner.
After greeting each other, Gongyuan first asked: "Where is Zhongming?"
Xuanji didn't say much, but immediately listened to the conversation between Gongyuan and his daughter.
Ling Jun said: "Uncle Zhong Zhi, the censor, came to the General's Mansion with a guard of honor to announce the edict. Zhongming will receive the envoy first and will arrive later."
When Xuan Ji heard this, her heart that had just fallen to the ground began to rekindle expectations.
But after a moment, she realized that even if Qin Liang didn't come today and went to the General's Mansion, wouldn't he have to wait all day to meet him? Thinking of this, Xuan Ji couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Gongyuan's voice said: "Then let's go to the front hall and courtyard first and lay incense sticks for your grandfather."
Several people walked into the gate tower together and walked up the corridor. Only then did Gongyuan ask: "What edict is being issued?"
Your Majesty's voice said: "I heard something earlier that the new emperor was probably grateful for Zhong Ming's contribution and wanted to give him some money.
If you don't go to court, you won't be famous when you perform things, you will have the honor of going to the palace with swords and shoes, and you will be given the title of Grand Governor."
Gongyuan turned his head and glanced at Ling Jun, but pretended to be indifferent and said: "Then we have to cancel the military commanders at home and abroad."
Your Majesty said "hmm".
At this time, two maids appeared head-on. They stepped aside in advance and stood waiting for Gongyuan and others to pass by first. Everyone stopped talking for the time being and continued walking north along Langwu.
The maids immediately curtsied and saluted. One of them curtsied to Gongyuan and Lingjun. When Xuan Ji passed by, she quickly curtsied and said, "I've seen you before."
For a moment, Xuan Ji felt a little surprised.
She used to leave the Wang family to "pursue" but never got married. Now when she returns to the Wang family, she naturally behaves very low-key and does not want to attract attention. After all, being noticed is not a good thing. Most people will only spread rumors behind their backs!
Therefore, whenever she travels with Wang Gongyuan and others, she usually does not receive much attention.
But recently, the maids and slaves of the Wang family suddenly seemed to have a little more respect for Xuan Ji.
It was previously rumored that Qin Liang was going to be granted the title of Duke of Jin, with the addition of Jiuxi. In the end, the title was not granted, but Qin Liang's prestige and great contribution were already considerable... So the maids of the Wang family could already think of Wang Xuanji, the daughter of his concubine.
, is very likely to become one of Qin Liang’s wives?
Of course Xuanji's guess may not be accurate, but no matter what, she is quite happy.
Your Majesty sometimes likes to be praised and recognized by others. Xuanji is not too obsessed with those things, but she also doesn't want to be bullied by others. If she can be regarded as the general's wife, she can openly say her identity. She has power in the world.
A concubine in a prince's family. Although she is not the official wife, her status is not low. (
When Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei, Mrs. Bian was not yet his official wife, but she had also worked as a prostitute, and no one dared to look down upon her.)
Zhong Ming had always harbored guilt towards Xuan Ji, but now he found a way out.
