Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 239 Something happened
After giving a rough description, the Holy Emperor and Duke Rong and others realized that they were in many dangers on the road.

"You go back and freshen up first. I will be generously rewarded when you return to Beijing one day."

The Holy Master patted Jiang Shunian on the shoulder, his tone was cordial and unquestionable.

After the two secret guards came back, they spontaneously returned to the Holy One and explained to the Holy One more details than Jiang Shunian about burning the enemy's food and grass.

"My subordinates still don't know what those powders are. Commander Jiang has never explained."

The six of them completed their mission and came back safely. The Lord was very happy. There are many strange things in this world. It is not difficult to guess that Jiang Shunian has a wife who can make drugs. It must be a life-saving thing.

"It doesn't matter. You two have had a hard journey, go and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The flower viewing banquet at the Rongguo Duke's Mansion was very lively.

Today, the Rongguo Duke's mansion is full of flowers, and everyone comes to the banquet happily, regardless of whether they plan to get married or not.

Even those who have not received the invitation have to go to great lengths to follow the in-laws' ladies to attend.

The main purpose of Mrs. Liu, the duke's wife, is to invite the selected official ladies and see their conduct before deciding on the candidate for the younger daughter-in-law.

Even so, there were quite a few young ladies who took advantage of other people's invitations, and Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, could only greet them with a smile.

The young ladies were received by Tang Bingxuan and Wang Sheng's aunt. Tang Wenyun and Tang Wenbai's wives were pregnant and had inconveniences, so they were not allowed to come out to entertain the guests.

The third wife, Xiao Shao, helped her sister-in-law receive the ladies who came to the flower banquet. No matter what their mood was, they always looked like they were talking happily and happily.

A servant woman came into the flower hall from the outside and leaned into the ear of the Duke's wife, Mrs. Liu, "Madam, something happened."

Mrs. Liu smiled and asked her three younger siblings to help her greet everyone. She was going to change clothes, and she walked out with the others.

The Duke's wife said sternly: "What happened?"

It turns out that there were so many ladies here today that Aunt Tang Bingxuan couldn't keep an eye on them, so those who were brave enough went to play in the garden together.

Originally, everyone was invited to enjoy the flowers. The flower hall was filled with precious flowers and trees, but this season the gardens were also filled with all kinds of colors.

The few ladies accompanying him were all familiar and friendly with each other. Who would have thought that Miss Zhang's family would accidentally fall into the lake.

The weather is hot this season, and everyone's clothes are light and thin, so the figure that fell into the water is looming.

As luck would have it, the fourth young master of his family happened to be enjoying the shade in the Tingtao Pavilion. When he heard the shouts, he ran out quickly and approached the lake.

Even though Tang Wenzhu glanced at the lake and turned around and ordered the woman who knew how to swim to rescue her, the young lady's reputation was still tarnished.

As she walked, the maid told the Duke's wife, Mrs. Liu, the whole story.

"Miss Zhang is from the Zhang family of the Ministry of Finance?"

"Ma'am, you have a good memory."

"Where is the person now?"

"After being rescued by the mother-in-law, she was taken to Mingyue Xiaozhu nearby."

By the time the Duke's wife arrived at Mingyue Xiaozhu, Tang Bingxuan was already accompanying the crying Miss Zhang.

"Mother." Tang Bingxuan saluted Mrs. Liu and said hello.

After changing her clothes, Miss Zhang weakly stood up from the bed and wanted to salute the Duke's wife Liu, but was pushed back by the Duke's wife.

"You just fell into the water and are weak, so don't worry about these false gifts."

Miss Zhang's maid came in with a bowl of ginger soup, helped Miss Zhang up and let her drink it. The maid helped Miss Zhang lie down and knelt directly in front of Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, "Madam, you have to make the decision for my young lady."

"Oh? Is there any other secret behind Miss Zhang's falling into the water? If so, I will definitely make the decision for you."

The maid was frightened by the words of the Duke's wife, Mrs. Liu, and didn't know how to reply.

At this time, Miss Zhang covered her mouth and coughed quietly a few times, as if she had choked on water and had not recovered yet.

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, came in and exchanged glances with her daughter Tang Bingxuan, then looked at Miss Zhang calmly.

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, chose Miss Zhang mainly because she heard that she had an excellent reputation. As the eldest daughter in the family, she was filial to her parents and loved her younger siblings.

Nowadays, it seems that the good reputation has lost a lot of water. At least in front of the Duke's wife and Tang Bingxuan and her daughter, Miss Zhang's little thoughts are clearly visible.

Miss Zhang glanced at the Duke's wife and whispered softly: "Madam, you are joking. It was an accident that the little girl fell into the water. It's just..."

Miss Zhang seemed to have difficulty speaking. She bit her lower lip and looked at the people in the room. "It's just that my daughter was looked at by her husband. Wuwuwu, the little girl has no face to go back to see her parents at home. Wuwu."

Miss Zhang's maid hugged the crying young lady with a distressed look on her face, and screamed "Miss" very sadly.

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, was not in the mood to make excuses with the scheming Miss Zhang here, so she motioned to the maid to come forward and take the maid out.

Tang Bingxuan suddenly said: "Is the foreign man Miss Zhang mentioned a guard in the mansion?"

Her tone was gentle and her smile was sincere, "Miss Zhang, don't worry, the government will not spread this matter to damage Miss Zhang's reputation."

After taking ninety steps, Miss Zhang didn't want to end up with nothing and lose her reputation.

Miss Zhang didn't care about pretending to be weak and hurriedly sat up, "Mrs. Jiang San, the foreign boy I mentioned is the fourth young master in the mansion."

Mrs. Liu, the Duke's wife, thought that Miss Zhang was of average rank and quietly watched her daughter solve the problem without making a sound.

"My fourth brother? My fourth brother went out to visit friends early this morning and is not at home. Isn't Miss Zhang mistaken for the wrong person?"

Who would have thought that the eldest daughter of Duke Rongguo would tell lies with her eyes open, leaving Miss Zhang with a mouthful of blood in her heart...

Tang Bingxuan actually did this to use her power to suppress others. If Miss Zhang hadn't been impure and wanted to plot against her family, she wouldn't have acted like this.

Regardless of the fact that mother Liu has decided to choose a daughter of a minor official for her younger brother Tang Wenzhu. Family status is not very important. Miss Zhang's bad character must not allow such a person to enter the palace.

Even if she were to be Tang Wenzhu's concubine, she would be someone with ulterior motives and might make the family uneasy.

The attitude of the Duke's wife Liu and Tang Bingxuan was: Miss Zhang's fall into the water today was an accident, and their government would send an apology. As for other things, it was better not to think about it.

Miss Zhang was just a teenage girl, thoughtful but not sophisticated enough. She was no match for the Duke's wife and her daughter, so she had no choice but to be sent back to her home by the people from the Duke's mansion.

After a busy day of flower banquet, Tang Bingxuan and the Duke's wife Liu took a rest in the main courtyard.

"Mom, today's little girls are very thoughtful and bold. They play tricks on our house. Do they think we are too good-natured?"

Tang Bingxuan rubbed her forehead, her face stiffened when she smiled at the visitor today, alas.

Mr. Liu sat upright and drank tea and said with a smile: "I just think that wealth can be gained through danger, but I just look ugly."

Miss Zhang's matter was nothing more than a trivial matter, and the mother and daughter changed the subject after saying a few words of emotion.

"Mother, do you have a letter from father?"

Relatives at home are accompanying the Holy Emperor on his personal expedition. Tang Bingxuan and her mother, Mrs. Liu, worry about their family's safety every day.

Of course, every letter home from men is basically short and brief, reporting good news but not bad news. Women and children like them feel melancholy every time they write a letter and read it happily.
