Chapter 153
Leng Mingsong's appointment was quickly appointed and appointed to the county magistrate of Yongjing County, East Road, Hebei Province. The day before the trip, Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai practiced for him in the Huixian Building.
Xu Sihai and Jiang Hong arrived a little earlier and waited at the door until Leng Mingsong. The three of them went into the elegant room in the courtyard together.
Turning around the flower rack, several little ones surrounded the fifth prince and the eldest prince. The fifth prince was walking in front of him and turned around and talking to the eldest prince. Jiang Hong and the three of them quickly flashed to the roadside and bowed to salute. The fifth prince turned around and saw the three of them. They raised their eyebrows and smiled, "I just thought about where the happy spider I saw before going out today should be. It turned out that I should be able to meet you nine talents in the three of you. It seems that I will not be able to win tomorrow's ceremony, and I will definitely not suffer. Penalty."
"The fifth master is flattered, how dare he be called Jiu Doucai." Jiang Hong answered with a smile. Before the fifth prince's eyebrows fell, he picked up a place and hurriedly pooh: "Bah, pooh, childish! Is this the way to hurt me? Don't you dare to say this? Don't you want me to be punished if I can't solve the scriptures or write poems tomorrow?
"Don't fool around. Yan Hui will be scared by you." The eldest prince patted the fifth prince from behind with a folding fan and gently stopped him. Jiang Hong smiled and said, "The fifth master is the real talented person. There are several masters here. How can we get the score of these ten fights in the world? It's a great blessing to have a cup and a half behind several masters.
"Although I know that you are flattering me, it's really useful to hear it." The fifth prince said rudely. The eldest prince shook his head with a smile and looked at Leng Mingsong and said in a warm voice, "I heard that Leng Dalang has appointed Yongjing County. When will he leave?"
"Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Leng Mingsong quickly arched his hand and replied, and the eldest prince was very surprised: "How did the Ministry of officials set the day so urgently? Do you have time?"
"The official's day is still early. I have never been to Hebei East Road. I plan to walk all the way into Hebei East Road to take a good look at the customs along the way." Leng Mingsong quickly explained, and the eldest prince calmed down and smiled, "So it is. This is your intention. If you are free, you might as well talk about what you saw and heard along the way. In the early years, I walked along the Yellow River with a lot of emotions, but unfortunately I can't describe it."
"The subordinate has this intention. If he gets anything, he will send it back to the capital. Please be upright." Leng Mingsong bowed slightly and smiled, and the fifth prince clicked a folding fan and said with Leng Mingsong, "Are you in such a hurry to go to office? Aren't you... talking about marriage? That's right. A good man aspires to work hard in Yongjing County. When you come back, I will tell you that you are good friends and I will be satisfied!"
The fifth prince's words were half serious and half joking. Jiang Hong's eyebrows moved. Leng Mingsong didn't expect the fifth prince to say this. He was stunned and smiled. Xu Sihai frowned slightly. Since he heard about the marriage, he didn't like the fifth prince. Hearing that he was so careless about Leng Mingsong's marriage, The disgust surged up, but the pressure did not show it.
"Became on the road." The eldest prince gently told Leng Mingsong to leave the fifth prince.
The three entered the elegant room, and the tea and wine doctor retreated from the good wine and dishes. Xu Sihai frowned and said, "It's common for the fifth master to wander around. How did the uncle come to the fairy tower? Shoudao should not say that sentence sent back to the capital. You left the capital and sent letters to your uncle's house every now and then. Even if you are selfless and selfish, this is a big deal.
"It doesn't matter," Jiang Hong muttered, "Keeping the way means to ask you to send it back together when you arrive in Yongjing County. Please make a preface and ask your uncle to find someone to engrave it, and just send one to each mansion."
"That's what I think," Leng Mingsong said with a smile, "Let's still discuss the regulations before, do our part well and don't mix them into these mixed water."
"This fifth master is the most annoying. It's not enough to stir up a marriage, and he has to reach out to the marriage." Xu Sihai was very angry, but Jiang Hong's eyes were gloomy but smiled, "Jingzhi is angry. I can't blame him. I just begged him... His words may be good intentions." Jiang Hong's words suddenly turned around. Leng Mingsong looked at Jiang Hong with some understanding. Xu Sihai sighed heavily. Jiang Hong raised his cup and laughed and said, "Today we practiced it for Shou Dao. Don't mention gossip. Come on, I'll respect the Tao first." Leng Mingsong quickly raised the cup, and Xu Sihai also quickly raised the cup and said, "Let's do it together. I can't drink well."
The three of them tacitly did not mention the fifth prince and marriage. They just raised their glasses and drank bitterly and left drunk.
Leng Mingsong went to Yongjing County. Jiang Hong and Xu Sihai entered the Hanlin Academy together and received the messenger of Zhijian. This is a very leisurely messenger. Jiang Hongqing often went to the palace to study with his husband in his spare time, but Xu Sihai was thinking about how to get a solid job.
At the end of spring, there were floods on several roads in the south. The officials took several princes to bathe and fast for ten days to pray for the blessings of the world. Naturally, all families in the capital also followed the blessings. The temples and nuns inside and outside also followed the practice to pray for blessings. This wave of blessing wind blew all summer.
In the summer, Ye Guifei stayed to hold the affairs of the palace. The officials took Jiang Guifei and the sixth princes to avoid the summer heat of Luoyan Mountain behind Puji Temple, not to mention living in a few people. I heard that half of the time they were eating vegetarian and praying for the world. The official family was like this, and naturally all families in the capital should do the same. In the past summer, those who fought for beauty were all kinds of ingenuity. No one dared to stand up to the wind, and the capital had a rare summer.
In a blink of an eye, summer came, and the end of August was the day for Li Yunshang to get married. Tomorrow, the dowry will be laid. Mrs. Yang stood in the yard and looked at the fifty-four dowry that was ready to stop. In the end, she only felt sad. This was the dowry she had prepared. For these dowries, her daughter-in-law Zhou didn't know how many times she had lost face with her.
Mrs Yang raised her hand and patted the two thin adobe wrapped in red silk on the dowry. Her embroidery products were more than the third sister's dowry. Mrs. Yang's heart was sore. They were all the daughters of the Li family. She did not seem to be the daughter of the Li family. She was an a different number. Like her mother-in-law, her one was an a strange number. The difference of harming the Duke of Yongguo! Mrs. Yang exhaled with hatred and turned into the room.
Far away, Li Yunshang stood under the flower rack, looked at his dowry from afar, stayed for a while, lowered his head, slowly moved back for a while, looked up at the direction of Qingtong Courtyard, looked at it for a long time, bit his lips, looked left and right, and turned towards Qingtong Courtyard.
There is no high wall between the two families, and the garden is still in the same garden. Li Yunshang bypassed the lake and arrived at the door of Qingtong Courtyard. The woman who guarded the door came out in surprise and said, "Is the third lady coming to visit our fifth lady?" Li Yunshang nodded, and the mother-in-law smiled and said, "I don't know that the third lady will come today, but I'm afraid that the third lady will be annoyed to wait for a moment. Our fifth wife has been very busy these days. No matter who comes, we have to report it first before bringing it in. Even if the Lin family and Yu's wife came, it's the same. The third lady will wait a moment. I will go in and report, one It will be fine in a moment."
The woman spoke and smiled, smiled amiablely and had an excellent attitude. Although she abruptly blocked Li Yunshang, it was not annoying. Li Yunshang smiled and stood in the shadow of the courtyard door and waited for her to report.
Li Tian was listening to Mr. Shui talk about the old past of the prohibition one by one. After listening to Taozhi's report, he was silent for a moment and ordered, "Is M Mother Xiong busy in the room? Let M Mother meet for me."
"Yes." Taozhi has always been cautious, agreed, stepped back a few steps, and went out to the wing to find Mother Xiong's words. Mother Xiong lifted the curtain, glanced at the upper room, and shook her head as if nothing. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw that the gatekeeper had found a chair to let Li Yunshang sit down. Her eyes showed a trace of satisfaction. These women had been in the village for a year or two, but fortunately, they did not leave the rules.
"Gree's greetings to the Third Lady. The day after tomorrow is the day when the Third Lady is happy. The old slave congratulates the Third Lady first." Mother Xiong said respectfully with a smile on her face. Li Yunshang quickly stood up and saluted, "I dare not come here in person."
"The third lady is so polite that the old slave can't afford it. The fifth lady is being detained by Mr. Shui to learn the rules. The third lady also knows that the fifth lady has always been lazy and can't learn the rules well. Mr. Shui has to be more restrained and the third lady for a trip." Before Li Yunshang finished speaking, Mother Xiong explained with a smile. Li Yunshang was stunned and her face suddenly turned red. She thought that Mother Xiong was here to lead her in, but her raised foot fell back. She was so ashamed that tears were about to come out.
"Is the fifth sister still blaming me? She got such a good kiss. I don't know about that. It's not my fault. The fifth sister..." Li Yunshang didn't finish her words, and she couldn't help falling with tears in her eyes. Mother Xiong frowned and looked at Li Yunshang and smiled, "The third sister can't say this. First of all, we have never blamed anyone. Come on, it's a good kiss or not, and there's no one's blessing. The third sister is about to get married, so I'll say a few more words. This is a good mistake. The third sister can't talk like this. For example, the head of the family gets rich as an official, and naturally the family will enjoy it. But if one day causes trouble, those who enjoy wealth will wave their hands and say this. It's not my fault. This disaster has nothing to do with me. How can this be justified? No one shirked when she enjoyed wealth. The third sister got this good family and saw that she was going to get married. Such a child can't say anything. Isn't it funny to say it? When I'm old, I just rely on the old man to say a few more words. The third sister is very considerate. If you don't like it, just think I'm old and talk nonsense.
Li Yunshang's face was red and white after a few words. She stood for a moment, turned around and left without saying a word. Mother Xiong looked at her back, frowned and sighed. Why didn't this girl understand that she can't be innocent if she got benefits. If she changed the Fifth Lady, she would remember it in her heart and think about it later. Trying to pay back this debt will never be so stupid to confess that you are right. Isn't it annoying to talk like this? Alas, it's also a person who hasn't suffered a loss. M mother Xiong thought for a while and waved a woman over and said, "Go find grandma, tell her about the third lady's coming and ask her to persuade the third lady."
The mother-in-law answered and turned to the east courtyard to find Grandma Zhou.
