Started to get rich after exile

On the surface, the days are peaceful, Ye Juelu spends his time in the Imperial Guard camp during the day, and leads people to run around the capital at night, Ming Lanying and He Bai sighed that he has good physical strength.

He Bai didn't know what Ye Juelu was doing at night, he thought it was a matter between the husband and wife, he yelled strangely twice, and playfully winked at Ming Lanying, making Ming Lanying sometimes not understand her What are you thinking.

The secret letters on Mr. Ming's case became thicker and thicker. Prince Heng's hidden forces in the capital disappeared more and more people every day, and they all died of accidents or disappeared inexplicably.

Thousands of people were lost in just over half a month. Although it is not very important to 40 people, it still makes people have to beware of it in the long run.Master Ming wanted to investigate, but he didn't even know who the murderers were or what kind of people they were. He couldn't start the investigation, and he never received a reply to the letter he reported to Prince Heng.

He had no choice but to give an order to protect himself, but instead of fighting back in groups, he was wiped out, and his identity was checked when he left the city in batches...

They are like chickens locked in a cage waiting to be slaughtered. After trying their best to protect themselves, they are just fish on the knife, ready to be slaughtered.

He stroked his beard with a gloomy expression. If it weren't for the fact that the time is not yet ripe, and it is easy to fail if he rashly raises an army, he would not have endured it forever.

It's just that I really can't figure out how the person who has been cautious for ten years has been fine, how it was discovered, and only the emperor can have such a big deal, but he is not sure.In his opinion, if the emperor really found out, he would definitely deal with it directly, but now it's just an unknown force doing it.

He had doubted Ye Juelu, after all, he was the emperor's confidant, but in his opinion, Ye Juelu was not that capable of mobilizing a bunch of people, and even making his people disappear without anyone noticing.

At the beginning, he and Prince Heng secretly colluded and did it very covertly. Even those bookkeepers who did the accounting back then were silenced, unless someone inside betrayed them.

Now that the emperor has found out the old accounts of corruption, he has not acted for a long time. The longer the delay, the more confused people will be.

But even if there was an issue of corruption in the accounts, he didn't panic, it's just that the food and salaries for corruption were spent in the capital budget, it wasn't a big deal, it didn't have the slightest impact on the Ming family, it would only damage some officials of the household department.

Master Ming pondered for a long time, and Ming Jiazhen came. The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time in the study room. The next day, Ming Jiazhen took someone to visit the Commander's Mansion. , People have to invite people in.

Ming Lanying rubbed her forehead with a headache, she thought that she would never have anything to do with Ming Jiazhen in this life, but she didn't expect him to come to her.

Ming Jiazhen drank a cup of tea in the front hall, and Ming Lanying came slowly, "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ming Jiazhen was shocked when she saw Ming Lanying. She had never seen Ming Lanying before. Since she was a child, she was taken by her aunt to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard. She stood out from the crowd, and was later taken by her grandfather to teach her , with the support of her grandfather, she never cared about the intrigue in the Ming Mansion.This time, her grandfather only ordered her to come. She never expected that there would be such a stunning person in the Ming family. Jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she bowed to Ming Lanying with a decent smile on her face.

"Soon, big sister is safe and well, it seems that our family and sisters haven't seen each other yet!"

Ming Lanying pretended to be seeing her for the first time, and looked at her in surprise, "Which sister are you? You look really good, much prettier than the third sister."

"My younger sister, I am ranked seventeenth, and my boudoir name is Jiazhen. We are all in the same family. The eldest sister can just call me Seventeen." The rooster has more connotations, "Third sister is now Prince Heng, big sister, don't say that in front of others."

Ming Lanying smiled and nodded, with a simple face, as if she had no intentions, "Sister Seventeen came to see me specially today, but what's the matter?"

"My sister heard that my uncle sent Ming Dong who was next to him to force my sister to return to the Ming Mansion. It must have made my sister unhappy."

Ming Jiazhen raised her eyes and her eyes fluttered, and the corners of her raised eyes seemed to reveal a trace of charm unintentionally. She was obviously not yet young, but Ming Lanying always felt that there was a hint of seductive charm in every frown and smile. , but has an excellent upbringing from a wealthy family, restraint to the point, flattering but not vulgar seems to be natural.

None of the girls in Hualou have such profound skills, no wonder the young masters and buddies in the capital are willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.

Then I heard Ming Jiazhen continue to say: "Grandfather wants Ming Cheng to invite you back to reminisce about the old days. He must be not polite enough to make eldest sister unhappy. Grandpa asked me to come and apologize to eldest sister. Grandpa hasn't seen eldest sister for a long time. , the old man wants to know how big sister is doing well these years, has she been wronged?"

Ming Jiazhen smiled, and tilted her head just right, her delicately drawn eyebrows and eyes suddenly became delicate and cute, making it hard to guard against.

"Grandfather was supposed to come here in person, but his status is inconvenient, so he had to ask me to come. It would be best if he could invite Eldest Sister to go back. If not, I should also ask Elder Sister how she has been doing these past few years, but she needs help from the Ming family. The big sister must speak out."

Ming Lanying secretly smacked her tongue and praised, this is probably the most outstanding girl that the Ming family has produced over the years, she has brains, looks, and an alluring temperament.

Drinking tea to suppress the irritability in her heart, what Ming Jiazhen said seemed reasonable, but in fact, if she didn't go, bad things about her would be spread in the capital tomorrow, and if she went, the old thief Ming would definitely say something In one sentence, she will be stripped of her background, and she won't know how she will die when the time comes.

Ming Lanying gently put down the teacup, exhaled, and looked at Ming Jiazhen with a smile, "If there is a reason why I can't go?"

Ming Jiazhen was surprised, "How come?"

Ming Lanying smiled, "To be honest, my status is embarrassing now. I am married to Ye Juelu, so I can only be regarded as half of the Ming family, and Ye Juelu and grandfather have always been at odds. I am in the middle." What is it? If I go in and out of the Ming Palace and someone with a heart sees me, I will take a copy with the emperor, no matter who I am, it will be bad after all, right?"

Ming Jiazhen smiled innocently, "Big sister thinks too much, how could it be? With grandfather around, who dares to talk too much?"

Before Ming Lanying could think of a word to refuse, Ming Jiazhen said in a considerate manner: "Actually, it's okay if eldest sister doesn't go back. Grandfather just wants to know how well elder sister has been doing these years. I have given eldest sister an errand, but will it embarrass elder sister? I wonder if grandpa should help?"

Ming Lanying looked at Ming Jiazhen quietly, and suddenly smiled, "What are you talking about, my seventeenth sister, I am an ignorant woman, what kind of errand can the emperor give me, just copy a few books, this has not happened for a long time Don't worry, my seventeenth sister. I've been doing well all these years. Ye Juelu won't bully me for the sake of my grandfather. Last year, Nanny Feng and Gao De also You came to visit me! Grandfather should know about it, right?"

Ming Jiazhen didn't jump any of the pits she dug, she just didn't go back to Ming's house, and she didn't tell you about the errands given by the emperor. Anyway, she is now Ye Juelu's person, and if Ming's family dared to touch her, she just stretched her hand too far.

Ming Jiazhen paused, the smile on the corner of her mouth froze, and she couldn't remember what to ask, Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "How old is Seventeen? Is she engaged? Do you need me?" Look after two families for my younger sister? Let me tell you, women, it’s better to get married early, giving birth too late is easy to cause accidents, and it’s not good for your reputation. Those who are poor are not cared about, and those who wait are old and dirty and just make do with it, that will ruin your life! I met many such people in the frontier!"

Ming Jiazhen almost couldn't hold back her smile, wondering if she was crazy, with these vulgar words, does she hate to marry? !

"Big sister, stop teasing me. Little sister, I'm only fourteen years old this year, and I'm still young..."

Ming Lanying groaned, "You're so young, you're going to be married next year, right? Let's make an appointment first, is there anyone who looks after her? Why doesn't the third aunt pay attention?"

Ming Jiazhen's teeth were itching with hatred, but she couldn't show any signs of anger. She changed the subject with an awkward smile, "Okay, big sister, don't talk about this, my mother can arrange it freely. In two days, my good sister will be in the plum garden on the outskirts of the city. Let’s hold a snow appreciation banquet, shall I take my eldest sister to meet the sisters in the capital?”

"Big sister has been back to Beijing for so long, and she hasn't seen anyone interacting with her. She must be unfamiliar with the human relations in the capital. I'll pick you up in two days, how about going with you? Treading the snow to find plums, making tea around the stove, Just right for a closer relationship.”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, this Ming Jiazhen's mental quality was much stronger than Ming Lishu's, she didn't collapse, and she wanted to drag her to embarrass herself in front of the daughters of those dignitaries in the capital.

She said those words to disgust her on purpose, and she said it tactfully. She thought of her in her previous life, devoted herself to her career, and those who competed with her could not beat her in terms of strength, performance, and connections. Come to attack, my ears are callused after listening too much.

"Forget it, I'm a married woman, what do you say among you little girls? Seventeen sisters don't just think about playing, look after her as soon as possible."

Ming Jiazhen took a deep breath, with a charming smile on her face, the smile didn't reach her eyes, "It's getting late, it's not good for me to delay big sister for so long, so I'll take my leave first, later Come pick up big sister in two days."

Ming Lanying groaned in her heart, she hasn't agreed yet, this has already been settled directly, and this is still forced to buy and sell?

Ming Jiazhen got up gracefully, Ming Lanying sat still, looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, sister Seventeen is still a girl who hasn't left the court, and she won't stay for long, then I will I won't keep you for dinner, Wang Guanshi, send off the guests."

Ming Jiazhen stared at her for a moment, she had never seen such a rude person!
Guanshi Wang appeared out of nowhere, bowed his hands to Ming Jiazhen, and stretched out his hand to ask, "Miss Ming please."

"Sister Seventeen, walk slowly."

Ming Jiazhen twitched the corners of her mouth, "See you in two days, big sister."

Ming Lanying propped her chin and watched Ming Jiazhen disappear on the screen wall. This was the most polite time for the Commander's Mansion to see off a guest.

Thinking about it, she suddenly smiled, Ming Jiazhen wanted to take her to embarrass her, but she still refused to go, she didn't agree.

It was rare for Ye Juelu not to go out at night, and the family chatted and ate snacks in the warm pavilion, a rare reunion.

He Bai hangs upside down on the beam and looks at Ye Juelu and Ming Lanying left and right, Ning Er is holding the wolf cub and trying to teach the wolf cub to read, Ming Lanying is teasing Xiaosan cheerfully.Xiaosan faintly shows signs of early enlightenment, but her temperament is still cold and arrogant. Except for Ming Lanying who can touch it all the time, it is the gift of her good mood to touch everyone else.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what has been rumored in the past two days?"

Ming Lanying snorted, Hebai swayed leisurely, and her long hair swayed, "It is said that the Dong family is unlucky. Song Shanshan just married into the Dong's house, and the next day she made a big noise saying that the Dong's house was kidnapped." , the young master of Dong's mansion insulted her innocence. After several days of trouble, it became known to everyone. Madam Dong directly sent two Kongwu powerful wives to press her down and kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. Give him food and drink, and come out three days later, he will be much more obedient, but this is just a trivial matter."

"Is this just a trivial matter?"

Ming Lanying expected Song Shanshan to make a fuss after her marriage, but she didn't expect that she would make it known to everyone. Dong's family can be regarded as a respectable family in the capital. To make such a joke, Mrs. Dong is not a vegetarian , Kneeling in the ancestral hall without her water and food for three days, I always feel that there should be more than that.

Hebai was dangling from the beam of the house, but was torn off by Ye Juelu, and he sat cross-legged on the ground beside Ming Lanying's feet, "The big thing is to come! A few days ago, a concubine of Young Master Dong was pregnant. She has killed the child for six months."

Ming Lanying was surprised, He Bai tutted and shook his head, "I heard that Song Shanshan deliberately found fault, pushed the concubine's room, and the child was gone. Madam Dong was furious, slapped Song Shanshan twenty times, and locked her in the ancestral hall to kneel." , without food for seven days, only water. Song Shanshan clamored to reconcile, and Mrs. Dong said that she would give a letter of divorce. Mr. Dong knelt down and begged Mrs. Dong to keep Song Shanshan. Song Shanshan left and he would not live anymore. I have to say Dong The young master really likes Song Shanshan, so I protect it."

"This is real?"

"Of course, the information from the servant girl in Dong's residence is almost indistinguishable."

Ming Lanying was shocked when she heard that, she turned her head to look at Ye Juelu, who reached out and gently lifted her slightly parted chin, "It's all irrelevant."

Ming Lanying brushed his hand away, "With Mr. Dong protecting him desperately, Song Shanshan probably won't be able to escape from Dong's house."

He Bai nodded, "This is what happens when you rob my brother with your sister-in-law!"

Ming Lanying raised her foot and kicked her, "What nonsense, it doesn't matter if she grabs Ye Juelv or not, it's what she did to me."

He Bai tilted his body, "Sister-in-law, you don't care about my brother's words, why don't you go back to the frontier now? Stay here with my brother, isn't this love!"

"Hey little girl, you need to worry about your sister-in-law and me." Ming Lanying grabbed He Bai's little face as soon as she rolled up her sleeves.

"Oh! Brother... save the nest..."

Ye Juelu looked away and met Ning'er's questioning eyes. The father and son had a telepathic connection. Ye Juelu nodded and admitted to Ning'er that Ming Lanying loved him. Ning'er smiled reassuringly.

Ye Juelu also heaved a sigh of relief, making Ning'er think that if his father and mother were in love, Ming Lanying would not have the idea of ​​leaving him so easily.
