MTL - Kunning-Chapter 170 Ethics

On the day when the Eldest Princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, and her relatives drove out of Beijing, it was said that there were many people who saw them off at night, heading northwest all the way.

After she left Beijing, the originally raucous talk of getting married gradually subsided.

From the princes and nobles in the capital to the common people, everyone's attention quickly turned to the Jinke Chunwei Examination and the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness Shen Jie, who will soon be approaching in April.

The Qintianjian Fangfu, which was not very eye-catching at first, has naturally been the busiest in recent days.

Secondly, he went to Jiang Shilang's house in the Ministry of household affairs.

Everyone talks about character, talent, appearance, and background. Fang Miao, a girl from Qin Tianjian's family, can hardly compare with Jiang Xuehui, the eldest girl in Jiang Shilang's house. However, her reputation is burdened by her ineffective younger sister, so she was not chosen as the concubine . However, when choosing the main concubine, he also chose the side concubine, which shows how much His Royal Highness Linzi likes her, and how reluctant Fang Miao, the main concubine, chooses.

The wedding date is set on April 18th, and the two concubines on the front and side will enter at the same time.

Those who hand out name cards, those who send congratulatory gifts, those who make close friends, those who build relationships, those who beat the autumn wind, the threshold of the Jiang Mansion will be broken by people, and even the servants are smiling, and the wind blows on the soles of their feet as they walk, welcoming and sending them to the face. bright.

It's just that it doesn't include the maidservants in Jiang Xuening's courtyard.

Not only are they unhappy, but they have become more worried and cautious in recent days.

There was a new letter from You Fangyin in Shuzhong, Tang'er didn't dare to pretend to be someone else, she went to pick it up herself, but on the way back, she ran into Jiang Boyou who was about to go out.

Jiang Boyou glanced at her and frowned: "Young girl Ning is still the same?"

Tang'er was trembling: "Young lady woke up at three o'clock today, drank a bowl of japonica rice porridge prepared by the kitchen, and then lay back to sleep; when it was high in the sun, she got up and looked out the window for a long time. A few slices of roasted squab, cherry meat, half a bowl of rice; Ding Fei sent someone to send some new things, but she just looked at it and threw it away, and even asked to go to the lantern festival..."

Jiang Boyou let out a long sigh: "What is this?"

Tang'er didn't dare to take a breath.

Ever since Princess Leyang went to get married, her own girl seemed to have lost her mind, and she didn't even bother to take a step out of her own door, watching her eat and sleep, but the maids who served her saw it in their eyes. Feeling creepy and worried, no one can do anything about her.

But these days, the master has to ask about the girl from time to time.

It seems to care more than before.

Tang'er didn't know if this was her illusion, maybe it was because the girl's recent state was very worrying?

Jiang Boyou thought for a moment, then shook his head, and said: "Take care, her sister's wedding will be in two days, if she doesn't want to go, then don't go, don't let others disturb her, and let her take care of her again." A few days."

Tang'er bowed and said, "Yes."

Jiang Boyou then turned and left with a worried expression on his face.

Back in the courtyard, Tang'er saw Lian'er sitting outside the house scribbling, so she leaned over to look inside, lowered her voice and asked, "Miss still sleeping?"

Lian'er also sighed: "I just fell asleep not long ago."

Tang'er was helpless, looked at the letter in the hand, had no choice but to put it on the kang table by the window of the Nuan Pavilion, and went to take care of other things in the house.

Early summer at the end of spring, the weather is not very hot yet.

The two windows are open to the outside, the bright sunlight shines on the green trees and garden flowers outside, the warblers chirp faintly, and there is a breeze blowing in, blowing the light pink gauze curtains outside the bed.

Jiang Xuening lay on her side on the couch.

The thin spring quilt covers half of the body and hangs across the front of the chest. Perhaps these days have been too muddled, and I have slept too much, and I always have some bad dreams when I have a short sleep in the afternoon.

For a while it was Zhou Yinzhi's head, and for a while it was Shen Zhiyi's coffin.

The dream is bizarre and unpredictable.

She walked in the blood-spattered palace, surrounded by mist, and there seemed to be something chasing desperately behind her. So her footsteps became more and more flustered, and finally she ran wildly.

The familiar Kunning Palace is right in front of you.

She breathed a sigh of relief and rushed in, but just as she stopped, she saw a thin and slender figure standing inside.

"Fang Yin—"

At this moment, Jiang Xuening subconsciously called out.

The other party turned around, but looked at her with some confusion.

It was a pretty face, but the originally pale eyebrows were outlined with a bit of sharp coldness. He was used to the ups and downs of the business world, but there seemed to be some helplessness and bitterness in his eyes.

It's You Fangyin.

But not You Fangyin in this life.

When she saw Jiang Xuening, she was startled for a moment, and then sighed with some melancholy: "It's useless to be rich and half the city. Betting on both sides will eventually offend the culprit. Who would have thought that the overturning of the overall situation came from old grievances more than 20 years ago?" ? At this time, it is natural to give up money to save life."

Old grievances, what old grievances?

Jiang Xuening wanted to ask clearly, but the words "wealthy and half city" echoed in her mind like Hong Zhong Dalu, one after another, which made her flustered, and she went straight from this endless Woke up from a dream.

She opened her eyes instantly and sat up.

The thin quilt slipped off her chest.

When the breeze blew outside, Jiang Xuening's forehead and body were covered with coolness. Only then did he realize that he was covered in cold sweat, and even the back of his underwear was wet, sticking to the back of his neck, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

forget.

She must have forgotten something crucial.

In the past half a month, because she failed to stop Shen Zhiyi from going to marry her, she couldn't lift her spirits up. She lived like a walking dead, like a headless fly, as if nothing could attract her attention , is not worth her to care about.

But is there really nothing else?

Rich and half the city.

You Fangyin from the previous life...

Hedging?

Racking his brains and thinking over and over again, finally a ray of light flashed through his mind like lightning. Jiang Xuening straightaway lifted the thin quilt and got up from the bed, and called out loudly: "Tang'er Lian'er! A letter from Shuzhong!" Woolen cloth?"

Lian'er was startled outside.

Tang'er heard the words and hurriedly went to the Nuan Pavilion to bring in the previous letter. She was about to hand it out, but Jiang Xuening grabbed it with her hand, tore open the envelope and began to read it. It wasn't until this time that the two maids realized that the girl's despondency these days had been swept away, replaced by a kind of awe-inspiring cruelty as if she was facing a big enemy, as if she remembered some important event that she had neglected.

Tang'er was inevitably worried that something might happen to her because of her emotional ups and downs, so she said cautiously, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xuening quickly read the letter, but felt heavy in her heart.

It's not that the situation at Ren's Saltworks is not good.

It's because, after all these decadent days, she finally remembered: Shen Zhiyi went to marry, and Yan Lin would indeed conquer the Tartars one day, but she couldn't do it just because she knew the trajectory of her previous life to welcome the princess back to court. what comes to pass—

Missing a You Fangyin!

A You Fangyin from the previous life!

Four years after Shen Zhiyi's marriage in the previous life, the Tatars completely exposed their wolfish ambitions and invaded the Central Plains.

Yan Lin was ordered to turn the tide when he was in danger.

But when the enemy soldiers were repelled and the coffin was returned to the princess, they realized that the princess had been tortured two years earlier and was even forced to abort because the Tatars did not want her to give birth to a child of mixed blood from the two races. child. Before the barbarians raised their troops, they killed the princess to sacrifice the flag. Even if she has a noble blood and is proud, she is helpless in this situation and is at the mercy of others!

At that time, the Xiao family was very powerful, and the imperial court wanted to use Yan Lin to fight against the barbarians, but also had to beware of his self-respect by supporting troops, so there were many difficulties in terms of food and rear.

But the front line was not affected in any way.

At that time, people in the court had suspicions, but it wasn't until Xie Wei and Yan Lin conspired against each other that no one knew that besides Lu Xian who was in business, there was the incomparably rich "You Bancheng" behind them!

Fighting wars requires soldiers, and raising soldiers requires money.

In the last life, they were backed by You Fangyin, who was as wealthy as an enemy, but what about this life?

Jiang Xuening sat down slowly.

She saved You Fangyin in this life, so You Fangyin in the previous life does not exist in this world. And if she wants to fulfill her promise to Shen Zhiyi, and even rescue him earlier than in her previous life, it means that she needs the same amount of silver, or even more, to make up for the gap caused by herself!

can she do it

No…

It is no longer a matter of being able, but no matter what, she must do it!

The thin page of letter paper was slowly put back on the table by Jiang Xuening, she finally woke up, blinked her eyes, and said: "Prepare the pen and ink, I want to reply."

These days, most of the civil servants in the court were busy with the just-passed general examination and the upcoming palace examination, Jiang Boyou was no exception, so he did not go to the Ministry of Household Affairs today, but went straight to the Imperial Academy.

The emperor appointed Xie Wei as the chief executive officer of this subject examination, and he was standing beside the desk at the moment, and had just received several answer sheets handed over by the officials below. The results of the general examination have already come out, and now it is time to select the best few of the answer sheets to be sent to various bookstores.

Jiang Boyou raised his head and saw, his brows furrowed immediately.

What happened in front of the mansion that day really surprised him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't have believed it. Such a frivolous animal thing!

Xie Wei took care of Jiang Xuening in the past, but Jiang Boyou never thought much about it.

One is that he and Xie Wei are in the same generation, and the other party has always regarded Ning girl as a junior when he called Ning girl; What nonsense rumors.

But such a person...

Recently, Jiang Boyou also thought, his daughter is not a well-behaved person, could there be some misunderstanding, or the two are in love with each other?

He talked to Jiang Xuening twice.

Concerned about the poor face of the girl's family, and he didn't want her to know about such a thing, he didn't understand the relationship between her and Xie Wei, but made insinuations. In Ning girl's words, how can there be any affection for Xie Wei that surpasses that of teachers and students?

Therefore, Xie Wei is still a big problem!

Jiang Boyou was in conflict, he hadn't said anything to Xie Weiduo for a while, and now he just took care of his business in silence, and when there were a little less people and the people who were looking for Xie Wei had also left, he would Finally walked over.

Say first: "Thank you, Young Master."

In the past, Jiang Boyou always referred to him as "Ju'an". Xie Weiguang knew that the other party had something to say when he heard the three unfamiliar words, so he turned around and smiled slightly: "Master Jiang, do you have anything to advise?"

Jiang Boyou looked at him, and said: "Master Young Master is young and promising, but this year is also twenty-seven years old, and she has not married for a long time; the little girl is naughty, but now she is in her nineteenth year, and she has not yet understood the world and human relationships. Young Master I, as a father, am very grateful to you for teaching her how to understand etiquette and righteousness. It’s just that she may not be sensible yet, and she needs to rely on the young master to restrain her words and deeds. Therefore, I would like to ask the young master to also be cautious. Be careful to avoid any misunderstanding due to her young age. The young master also knows that I have not raised this daughter well, and I am afraid that something will happen to her."

There was a hint of warning in the words.

Xie Wei was still clinging to the few answer sheets in his hand, but he felt a little unhappiness in his heart, the smile on his face did not change, he didn't answer what he said, and just said: "Master Jiang can't raise it well, why don't you give it to me?"

How could Jiang Boxou expect him to say such words?

His complexion immediately dropped.

He said coldly: "Young master Xie is not as capable as Jiang, but there is something I want to warn the young master! Although my girl Ning has a bad reputation, her heart is not bad. Master Xie, just let yourself be fooled, and don't fool others. If two people The old man Qing Xiangyue just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, but the young master is Ning Yatou's husband, so frivolous, doesn't it mean that he despises the ancestors' etiquette and disregards the principles of ethics?!"

At the end of these words, his voice rose a little because of anger.

The rest of the Hanlin Academy, who was busy far away, couldn't help but look at this side. They obviously heard the words "Ethics and Constraints" clearly, and couldn't help showing a bit of curiosity on their faces.

Obviously thinking: Why are these two still involved in ethics?

Xie Wei lowered his eyes.

Indeed, he is Ning Er's husband. According to ethics, how can the husband be with the students and have an affair?

only…

The few pages of the answer sheet in his hand were put back on the desk, Xie Wei looked back at Jiang Boyou, and said Wen Wenran: "So what?"
