Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 281 You Are Not Me, How Do You Know It's Not Worth It?

The further north you go, the colder it gets.

A few people were reading in the room, and Xia Xiaoqiao had already asked someone to prepare a charcoal basin.

Lighting time
The others went back to the boat one after another, but Luo Wenjing was the only one who refused to leave.

"Recently, I got a pot of good Jinhua wine, how about some?"

Lu Jingyuan looked at him, smiled faintly, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he put down the book, and then ordered Zhang Yuan to inform the back kitchen to prepare some side dishes.

The candles in the house were brightly lit, and the mist rose.

The red clay small stove wine is warming on the side, and there are four small dishes in front of the table, each with different meat and vegetables.

"That Prefect Liu hosted us this time, obviously as a gesture of goodwill, but in fact as a test, he has something to do with the relief food from the sunken ship."

Luo Wenjing looked at him while drinking.

Lu Jingyuan looked down at the wine cup in his hand, "There is no proof of death, besides, the water transportation has always been in the hands of the governor of the water transportation. Your father is upright and blocked his way. This time, we are lucky enough to turn the crisis into safety. It is better not to cause trouble again—— "

"But I can't swallow it."

"So what if you can't swallow it? The situation is stronger than people. If you don't let it go, you won't have any good fruit to eat."

Lu Jingyuan's expression was indifferent, but Luo Wenjing smiled and said: "You don't give me a lesson here, if you can swallow this breath, why bother to let people investigate this matter."

"I am different from you, and I want different things."

"That's all right, all right, I don't care what you're asking for, anyway, we're all going to the same end. However, Prefect Liu is not easy to deal with. If you abandon the person he gave you, I'm afraid you will hold grudges against you."

Lu Jingyuan took a sip from his wine glass, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, just get used to it."

As soon as these words fell, Luo Wenjing's eyes widened instantly.

"what do you mean?"

Lu Jingyuan looked at him and smiled faintly, "It's literally."

Luo Wenjing was shocked.

"Could you be?"

"No, I said Lu Jingyuan, don't be stupid, this officialdom is a vanity fair, intrigues, open spears and secret arrows, and intrigues never stop."

"Although you are only Jieyuan now, half of your foot has already stepped into it. You can't escape even if you have fame, fortune, and sensuality."

"You're going to get you into a lot of trouble."

"It's just a woman, just put it in the backyard, why—"

Speaking of this, Luo Wenjing was stunned.

"Lu Jingyuan, are you serious?"

"What do you say?"

Lu Jingyuan smiled lightly and continued to drink.

And Luo Wenjing is not well.

Although Lu Jingyuan didn't say it himself, he knew that this person might have made up his mind.

"Lu Jingyuan, my father often praises you, saying that you are not only talented, but also a person with a clear mind. Father intends to betroth my sister to you because he values ​​you."

"But even without my sister, how many high-ranking officials in the capital are there?"

"She can't even tolerate a prostitute, you, is it worth it for you?"

In Luo Wenjing's view, Lu Jingyuan's move was really not rational.

This is why I can't stay, I plan to persuade him.

And Lu Jingyuan, who is such a smart person, smiled faintly when he saw this, "You're not me, how do you know it's not worth it?"

"you?"

One month later

Tongzhou Wharf
In the winter in the north, the wind is already biting the bone.

The heavy snow is like goose feathers, and the earth is silvery white.

"It's time to come."

Xia Xiaoqiao was wearing a fur-collared cloak, standing on the deck rubbing her hands, very happy.

She was originally from the north, and seeing Xue was like seeing a relative.

"It's cold and slippery, so be careful."

Lu Jingyuan followed behind, carefully supporting her, fearing that she would slip and fall.

The two looked back, with sweet smiles in their eyes.

"Ah--"

At this moment, a disdainful voice came from the cabin door.

"Sure enough, they came from a small family. There are really no rules. This kind of flirtatiousness in the blue sky and daylight is simply immoral."

It is not someone else who said this, who else but Yu Huiniang?

This month, her eyes will turn red with jealousy.

Why does a country girl have such a good life?
Not only married to the well-known Lu Dacai, but also so favored.

For her sake, that Lu Jieyuan even gave away all the happy prostitutes that the magistrate gave away, while Zhou Sheng, who also received a gift, could only keep them in the house.

Not only that, but that bitch often seduces her own man in front of her.

Yu Huiniang was going crazy.

"Shut up."

Zhou Sheng was almost on the verge of being unable to bear it any longer, "If you are so ungrateful, I will send you back to Lingzhou Mansion someday."

"you dare?"

Yu Huiniang's eyes widened, "I'm the mother—"

"Do you think I dare?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll talk to my mother."

"You, have you taken a fancy to that little bitch? That's why you are so anxious to send me back?"

Yu Huiniang gritted her teeth, and Zhou Sheng was going crazy with rage.

"I really don't know what-"

He regretted it, he regretted it immensely, he shouldn't have compromised back then, he shouldn't have married such a person.

The two almost didn't quarrel again behind.

And how could the two on the deck not know?
"Brother Zhou, this is really—"

The ancients paid attention to the right family, blind marriage and dumb marriage, and the saying that free love is not popular.

Therefore, what kind of woman to marry and what kind of man to marry depends entirely on the eyes of the parents and their own considerations.

It would be fine if they were good parents, but unfortunately——

I heard that Zhou Sheng's family had a small fortune, but unfortunately his biological mother died young, and this stepmother gave birth to a son. Although Zhou Sheng is the eldest son, he is also very good at reading, but so what?
Marrying such a wife is a stumbling block in the future.

Xia Xiaoqiao silently lit a piece of wax for him.

"Okay, don't worry about brother Zhou's family affairs, he will take care of it."

While speaking, she moved her footsteps, blocking Xia Xiaoqiao's sight.

And Xia Xiaoqiao's insight?

He has already seen through this little thought.

So he tugged on his sleeve with a smile, "Why don't you?"

Lu Jingyuan gave her a serious look, and Xia Xiaoqiao smiled even more cheerfully.

"Look, here we are—"

As soon as the words fell, the boat finally docked.

It's just that as soon as they got off the boat, many people enthusiastically came over.

"Masters, do you need a carriage to enter Beijing? We can give you a ride for free. Look, the carriages are all ready—"

It's a big deal for a son to go to Beijing.

It is also an opportunity for these merchants to make money.

You must know that each member holds a small flag issued by the Ministry of Rites, which is not a decoration.

There is no inspection at the customs, but a lot of goods can be brought privately.

Some people were tempted, after all, it would cost a lot of money to rent a carriage.

Most of them are poor students, so they can save some money.

But no one came to Xia Xiaoqiao's side, because when they got off the boat, there were a group of well-dressed servants waiting beside them.

"Fang Qi met Mrs. Xia and Lu Jieyuan."

It was the leading steward who was speaking, and he leaned slightly to salute, and said with a smile: "My princess heard that Mrs. Xia is coming to Hong Kong today, and it is inconvenient to come because of something, so I ordered the villain to wait here, and I hope Mrs. Xia will not come here. Strange."

"What's the strange thing? In such a cold day, if she comes here, I will only talk about her."

Xia Xiaoqiao didn't expect Lingshan to send someone to escort her all the way, but she was waiting here to pick her up, and she was very grateful.

So while helping people to load the items into the carriage, he said to the steward:

"Lingshan, how is she doing recently?"

With her temperament, she didn't know if she was offended when she returned to the palace.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoqiao was genuinely concerned, the steward smiled a little more.

"Please trouble Miss Xia to think about it. Everything is fine with my princess. For details, you will know when you arrive in the capital."

The manager just smiled and said nothing, while Xia Xiaoqiao looked at him suspiciously.

have to--

He even played tricks with her.

But thinking of Lingshan's unyielding spirit, and thinking about their palace's recent fuss, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought of that scene.
