Chapter 125 Approaching
In the past few days in Beijing, there have been gossip. At the beginning, it was only a few people who were talking about it. Later, for some reason, some things Feng Qingli had done before were all revealed——those that were revealed The thing is not about how amazing and talented Feng Qingli is to defend her family and country against the enemy, but because Feng Qingli has changed her temperament due to her disability since she was assassinated, and she must take revenge.

One after another, they all said that Feng Qingli was mean and ungrateful, petty and narrow-minded, and couldn't tolerate others. This became evidence that Feng Qingli took private revenge and killed the imperial court official.

Both Feng Qingli and Gu Mingxuan heard the noisy rumors.

Gu Mingxuan was annoyed. She never believed that Feng Qingli would do such a thing. Feng Qingli might not be a good person, but he definitely disdained killing people because of it. He was just a county magistrate, and Feng Qingli didn't take it seriously.

It's fun to play around, but it can kill people... Gu Mingxuan smiled, such a person is not worth Feng Qingli's hands.

It's just that Gu Mingxuan can't get involved in this court matter, and there is no evidence, so she can't help feeling a little worried in her heart, for fear that something will happen to Feng Qingli.

However, thinking about Feng Qingli, Gu Mingxuan felt that Feng Qingli was not someone who would be defeated so easily. Perhaps, Feng Qingli would not care about such things at all.

When thinking like this in her heart, Gu Mingxuan's heart gradually became more stable.

Gu Mingxuan was right, Feng Qingli naturally wouldn't take other people's criticisms to heart, if he cared about what others said, he would have died of anger a long time ago.

However, being framed like this made Feng Qingli very unhappy.

This Great Yong Dynasty would come to frame him like this, after all, there would be no one else, would he?
Feng Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly, since his good third brother tried so hard to smear him, if he didn't express it, wouldn't he disappoint his good third brother?

Cheng An and Cheng Xun couldn't help trembling and trembling when they saw Feng Qingli's gradually raised lips and the smile on his peerless face that was blooming under the sun—Master is really angry!

The two tried their best not to say a word, even held their breath, for fear that Feng Qingli would discover their existence.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Feng Qingli smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at Chengxun gently, and said: "I remember, the father of the third sister-in-law seems to like money very much? It seems that he has a history with those loan sharks." Very close? And because of this, many merchants’ wives and children were scattered and their families were ruined? Those censors are so idle, I think they have a lot of time to take care of these things.”

"As for the third brother... I remember that when the arsenal was blown up, a lot of evidence was left behind... I originally wanted to keep it for a while. Since the third brother is so impatient, I, the younger brother, have to Just help the third brother well, send those things to the Tongzhengshi, there are so many evidences, it is enough for them to get promoted and make a fortune this year."

When Cheng Xun heard this, he immediately bowed down to Feng Qingli's order. As for how to do it, Feng Qingli naturally didn't need to explain it in detail. The people below are not fools, and they will definitely make things seamless.

After Cheng Xun left, Feng Qingli nodded in satisfaction, if it's unlucky to be unlucky together, this is a good brother, isn't it?
There's no reason for him to be unlucky. His good third brother is still watching the theater at ease.

On the third day, when the emperor was in court, he was furious, and reprimanded the third prince for the incident of the third prince's concubine's natal family giving loan sharks, and the third prince was a little ashamed because of this.

After the court was over, after the third prince returned to the study, he really wanted to roar loudly, throw things to vent his anger, and even rush to Yuezhang's house to scold that stupid Yuezhang, but he cannot.

He had to maintain his own image. No matter what, if he wanted to ascend to the throne, he had to have a good image so that others would think that he could become a qualified king. Only in this way would people support him.

Therefore, it is not advisable to be impulsive and irritable. It is right to be indifferent. It is already very inappropriate for some of the anger a few days ago to be seen by others.

Trying hard to suppress his anger, the third prince and his staff quickly finalized the method of action-his old father-in-law, no matter how stupid he is, he will keep it. As for the loan usury, his old father-in-law and mother-in-law must I don't know, and the wife of the wife of Yizhi must also not know that all the things are done under the collusion of the side branch who takes care of the housework and the steward.

Abandoning some side branches, in exchange for the safe and sound branch, it's just a few people, so there are many side branches who are willing to post them, and no one will use them after worrying about it.

The only pity is that he opened the bank where loan sharks were originally released. After this incident, he has to restrain himself, and this restraint means that the income will decrease. Recently, it is already stretched. , it is even more difficult.

The third prince sent someone to find his father-in-law and told them to do something, while Mr. Min was kept by the third prince.

"Sir, I always feel that Father's anger is too much this time, and something is wrong." The third prince looked at Mr. Min and said with a slight frown.

It's not that no one has done the thing of lending loan sharks in private. Although it's not a glorious thing, but it's not worth it, the father is furious about it. Let's reprimand him in front of the courtiers.

This is really, something is wrong.

Mr. Min felt the same way.

However, they didn't know why, they could only think that the emperor was suddenly in a bad mood.

After Feng Qingli knew what happened in the court today, she chuckled, thinking that his good third brother must be very puzzled, why is the father so angry?

It's just loan sharks... To be honest, although this is not a good thing, it is even a violation of the law, but it is like a rule that officials are not allowed to go to brothels. Everyone knows it, but not many people abide by it. Generally, as long as it is not during the mourning period, even if the emperor knows about it, he just turns a blind eye.

It's really not worth the father being so angry.

That's right, if it's just the Yue family's loan sharks, although the father is not happy, he won't be very angry, but what if the matter of the third prince's private arsenal is added?
Moreover, this arsenal was blatantly located not too far from the capital, and it would be no wonder that it would be happy if it fell into the eyes of the emperor.

Moreover, Feng Qingli believes that such a scolding meal is definitely not the end of this matter, even if Father is no longer angry, he will let Father remember again.

Sighing comfortably, Feng Qingli looked at the sky, Chengan had already arranged for someone to investigate the death of the censor, although Feng Qingli didn't care about his own reputation, but he was not willing to take the blame for others.

Feng Qingli believed that Cheng An would not let him down.

September [-]th, Double Ninth Festival, it is a custom to climb high and look far away. Although it is not easy for aristocratic daughters to show their faces, some famous mountains cannot be visited, but in their own villas, they climb towards the cornel and enjoy the scenery in the middle of the mountain under the service of the maid. It is also a beautiful thing to drink some realgar wine and write some poems about chrysanthemums in beautiful places, or for those who do not want to climb high, enjoy chrysanthemums, drink wine and write poems in their own garden.

As early as two days ago, most of the female relatives of the Marquis of Shun'an, headed by the Cui family, arrived at the villa, leaving only Aunt Cui to look after the house, not to mention Gu Mingxuan and Gu Mingling, even Gu Mingzhi, who learned the rules of restraint, brought them with her.

Even Gu Yuwen, who was guarding the system, came to the villa with Cui's words "it's just on her own villa, not as a guest, it's okay to go".

Because the masters of the Double Ninth Festival come to this villa every year, the gentle and sunny side of the mountain has long been filled with flowers and trees, from peach trees and pear trees in spring to maple leaves and chrysanthemums in autumn. Although they are not very expensive, they are also a bit messy , but it also got the word "wild interest", so it has been retained.

Up to now, other flowers and trees have turned yellow, only the chrysanthemums all over the mountains and plains are blooming freely, which is very gratifying to watch.

Mrs. Cui admits that she is old, and she does not climb very high like others. She just climbed for a while with Mrs. Sun, and then rested in the small pavilion at the foot of the mountain, while Gu Mingling, Gu Minghe and others rarely came out, and they made an appointment to continue. up.

Although Gu Mingxuan was not very willing to get along with Gu Minghe and Gu Mingzhi, and although her leg was healed from trauma, she was still told by the doctor to rest more and move less, but Gu Mingling pulled her, and even though the mountain was called a mountain, the slope was actually gentle and gentle. The mountain was not high, and it was not easy for her to dampen Gu Mingling's interest, so she had no choice but to follow them all the way up.

The autumn is breezy, the sky is blue, the chrysanthemums are yellow, surrounded by the clear and cheerful laughter of a woman, Gu Mingxuan only feels refreshed like never before.

She has been living a hard life. She has to protect herself, take revenge, and try her best to resist the third prince, and even more daringly wants to pull the third prince down...

Although everything was moving in the direction she wanted, she was indeed very tired, and it was rare for her to have such a leisurely life.

Maybe it's the peaceful wind, maybe it's the high weather, maybe it's the third prince being scolded bloody, Gu Mingxuan is also in a very good mood.

The mountain is not high, and the mountain road is paved with bluestone slabs, which is very easy to walk. Even with the foot strength of these boudoir women, they quickly climbed to the middle of the mountain. Although it is only made of logs and bamboo nailed together, it is not very exquisite and gorgeous, but it just fits the "wild interest" of this mountain.

Gu Mingling proposed to have a picnic here, and at the same time, write paintings, poems and play the piano... In short, do whatever you like, in exchange for everyone's approval.

And when the girls were having fun, the women on the Zhuangzi who followed were in charge of grilling meat for the girls so that they would have fun eating and having fun.

Gu Mingxuan was sitting with a smile on her face, watching them having fun, while Gu Yuwen also sat beside Gu Mingxuan, talking to Gu Mingxuan - she was still restrained, it was not good to have fun with others.

This time up the mountain, besides the people from the Shun’an Marquis’s Dizhi branch, there were also a few girls from the side branches. There are more people, and they will naturally be happy to play. , usually can't go out at all, today is a rare opportunity to relax, everyone is very happy.

Just as he was having fun, he heard the sounds of drinking and horses galloping.

"Stop it, block it for me quickly, if it escapes, I... will be so mad, you two idiots."

"Over there, over there... ah... idiot!"

Soon, following these coquettish shouts, an unknown animal rushed out of the peach forest first, and then three horses rushed out of the peach forest, followed by three women. The unknown animals chased wildly, and they didn't even pay attention to the stunned Gu Mingling and others, nor did they feel ashamed of breaking into other people's homes, they still yelled.

It's a pity that she worked very hard, and the horse was also very strong, but her archery skills were really bad, the animal quickly disappeared, the woman was very angry, and began to train people again.

Because they ran far away, Gu Mingxuan and others couldn't see their faces, but their voices still came with the wind.

Gu Mingling's face was full of displeasure: "Whose family is this, so uneducated!"

"The right side of our house seems to be Zhuangzi of Commander Lu's family." A girl from a side branch that Gu Mingxuan didn't know whispered.

Hearing this, Gu Mingling suddenly realized: "I know, it's the one from the Lu family, no wonder." As he said that, Gu Mingling curled his lips in disdain, "It's really bad luck."

Gu Mingxuan was a little confused, Lu family?But it didn't take long for her to remember that before the third prince ascended the throne, the Commander of Jingwei was indeed surnamed Lu, but soon after the third prince ascended the throne, the Lu family was convicted. Therefore, she had an impression of this Miss Lu. not deep.

Just when Gu Mingxuan was thinking, there was another sound of horseshoes, and Gu Mingling was even more unhappy. Why did his family's Zhuangzi become an official way? Whoever wants to come can come.

But this time, there were three very polite people who came here.

Seeing someone there, they seemed a little surprised, and then stopped. One of the men with a slightly dark complexion clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Excuse me, are you the ladies of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion? It would be a shame to invite Haihan to come here. My sister ran away after chasing the rabbit, and didn't return for a long time, so I followed the horse's hoof to find it..."

He spoke in a somewhat stern voice, but he was still polite. Gu Mingling and the others looked a little better after hearing this.

Gu Mingxuan looked towards them, but saw that among the three of them, except for the man with a dark complexion who spoke just now, one of them had a naive complexion, and the other was Yushu Linfeng, who looked like a handsome young man sitting on a horse. Sometimes, there is still a trace of heroism, and because he dresses richly but does not look vulgar, it is even more elegant.

Gu Mingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, always feeling that his face was familiar, while the other little girls were a little hot-eyed. After glancing at him quietly, they blushed and lowered their heads, looking extremely shy.

Although the elders didn't follow because they were on the hilltop of their own home, Gu Mingxuan and the others were still accompanied by their mother in charge, so they came forward to answer.

In the end, the dark-faced young man took the simple-faced man to find their sister. They were brothers, and the lady who was rude just now was their own sister; while the handsome-faced man stayed behind.

His explanation was: "My cousin belongs to my daughter's family and has a thin skin. If the two cousins ​​reprimand her in front of me, she will feel ashamed."

That's true, and the mother in charge also agreed, so I didn't say anything, and just let him stand far away. However, he has been introduced just now, and he is the son of the Yin family in Jingzhao Mansion, so don't be too negligent Gu Mingling sent someone to bring him food and tea.

All the daughters behaved very politely. Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw it. A girl's heart always wanted to show her best side in front of some people, and she even didn't hesitate to restrain her nature.

In fact, she had it too, but later on, her thoughts became the knife that killed her. After that, she no longer had such beautiful thoughts like they did.

Gu Mingxuan smiled lightly, lowered her eyes, and sat quietly.

This was not the case for Gu Yuwen. She had an abnormal heartbeat at first, but soon, she could only sigh.

She wants to hold on to this man firmly - he is handsome and dignified, has a gentle manner, is polite in speech and deeds, and is very considerate... The most important thing is that he is also the legitimate son of Jingzhao Fu Yin, who is her favorite The people you want.

However, as the official of Jingzhao Mansion, who is neither high nor low, it is not enough to want to take the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Shun'an, but the concubine daughter of the Marquis Mansion is not worthy of him...Of course, my own status is even more embarrassing , is not worthy...

Gu Yuwen's fiery heart gradually cooled down.

However, there is still some reconciliation.

Silently, Gu Yuwen picked up the pen and wrote a poem about chrysanthemums, and then held it in her hands to watch.

If, if the wind comes and blows towards him, she will take a gamble.

If there is no wind, then even the heavens don't want her wishful thinking.

When Gu Yuwen was thinking this way, the wind did not come. Instead, the girl from the Gu family took away her poems, read a few lines of flattery, and then passed it on to everyone, and then returned it to Gu Yuwen.

The wind is coming.

Unfortunately not that direction.

Gu Yuwen was very sorry.

She couldn't help but glanced at that handsome son again, what a pity...

Then, Gu Yuwen discovered that the young master's gaze was also on this side, and it was Gu Mingxuan who was next to her.

Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Gu Mingxuan?
Gu Yuwen couldn't help but look sideways - she had to admit that after the scar on her forehead gradually faded to the point where it could be covered by makeup, Gu Mingxuan's beauty gradually became astonishing.

Especially when she was wearing royal blue clothes, the lustrous luster of the skin from the inside out made people's eyes hard to miss.

It's really beautiful.

Gu Yuwen was a little jealous, a little sour, and even a little bit unfair.

But he also decided to stop his sudden thoughts, if the concubine of Jingzhao Fu Yin has such a demeanor, then it will be fine...

As for the son-in-law, she couldn't reach him.

Even in the daily banquets, Yin Qu's family in Jingzhao Mansion has no intersection with Shun'an Hou Mansion.

But at this moment, the wind is coming, and the direction is just right.

Gu Yuwen couldn't help her heartbeat, she let go of her hand, and the poem in her hand danced with the wind, heading in the direction of Young Master Qu.

Qu Linjiang was unwilling at first. After all, although the reputation of the eldest lady of Shun'an Hou Mansion seemed to improve later, Qu Linjiang was unwilling to marry a woman who had no talent—he had read a lot of poetry and books, I always hope that my wife is also such a woman who can sing with him in poetry and prose. The eldest lady of Shun'an Hou Mansion will have a good reputation, but her talent can also be cultivated in half a year. what?
Qu Linjiang didn't believe it, even if he was praised as talented and intelligent, he had to study hard to maintain his reputation. In his opinion, it is very important for Miss Gu to be able to write her own words correctly. Amazing, other, really can't ask for more.

He doesn't want such a woman.

But he couldn't help but be unwilling to do this.

So he came.

Then, I was a little surprised, and after being surprised, I was curious, and after being curious, I felt a little dazzled.

Her etiquette and manners are actually the same as those of the big ladies who have been raised by gold and jade since she was a child. She is very elegant and moderate. When encountering things, she is not impatient. In a petty situation.

What's more, when most of the other girls were peeping at him, she was just talking to her sisters, her eyes were clear and her face was peaceful, she seemed to not care about his existence at all, and she didn't have the time when ordinary girls saw him. , an implicit goodwill.

Qu Linjiang was a little reconciled, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times to see if she was pretending, but he didn't realize that he was pretending, but he felt that she was more attractive and unparalleled.

My heart beat a little faster.

Qu Linjiang withdrew his gaze and didn't dare to look any further, but in his heart, he felt a little bit of joy—in fact, his wife doesn't necessarily have to be a talented woman. If he taught her all her talents, it seems that she is also very good. .

Qu Linjiang's complexion was a little hot, and then, he faintly looked forward to the future. According to his father, an accident will be arranged today, so that he can get close to Miss Gu... Qu Linjiang's heart couldn't help it Some hot.

At this time, he found something floating in front of him, lowered his head, but saw a piece of paper, which was blowing away with the wind.

The wind wasn't strong, so the paper wasn't floating fast, and it was intermittent. Qu Linjiang couldn't help but look back not far away—the girls of the Gu family were writing poems and paintings over there, so they probably belonged to them.

Then Qu Linjiang saw a girl rushing out of the open room, but unfortunately her legs were not fast enough, and she almost fell because of it, so she anxiously shouted: "Young Master Qu, please do me a favor..."

Qu Linjiang took two quick steps, and held the paper down—by the way, he glanced at the writing, which was beautiful and correct, and he felt a little disappointed. The poems were good and the calligraphy was good, it seemed that it was not Miss Gu's.

Really sorry.

But Gu Yuwen didn't feel regretful, her poems were good and her writing was good, if it could make him think... Gu Yuwen's thoughts changed, if she and him became attached to each other, her uncle would not insist on disagreeing, and his family...why? Can the composer agree?

When Gu Yuwen was thinking about it, she heard a scream and couldn't help being startled!
what happened?
