Chapter 69

Manager Li decided to press the news for the time being, and report to Xie Yunzhao after he had checked the background of the strange man surnamed Cui.Thinking of this, he immediately summoned his confidant and followed Lin Yuanhui's clue to report this person's background as soon as possible!

The cool breeze in Lin's mansion is also extremely distressed, is the miss going out of the wall?Why did Mao still drag her along!Her life trajectory is different!
The little girl Liangfeng is a good girl with clear goals in life, very well-planned and well-planned.Ever since Qingmei came to Lin's Mansion, she has worked very hard to adapt to this new environment, worshiping her master, learning skills, gaining qualifications, gaining the trust of the lady, and then marrying to the aunt's mansion, looking for a young steward who is as motivated as herself , the two of them helped the lady butler to earn some extra money, and then opened a small shop or something outside.Raise children with the little steward, teach the son to read, it is best to get a job or something, if the son can't study, you can let him inherit his own small shop, don't worry about food and clothing, and maybe become a small rich family.Look, what a good life plan!result……

"Miss, do you really want to meet him?" Liang Feng didn't give up, and wanted to make sure again.

Qingmei got a little impatient when she was asked, "Well, arrange it as soon as possible. Qingyou is getting married in the past few days, and no one in the house will notice our side, so it's just a few days. If you can't arrange it, I will go there in person Let’s go, anyway, he lives with Lin Yuanhui, right.”

Liangfeng quickly grabbed her hand: "I'll arrange it right away, I'll go right away, Miss, please don't act on your own."

Qingmei nodded with satisfaction: "This is the end." After speaking, Dongqiao and the two were recruited and plunged into the small kitchen to study what to eat for dinner.

There is only a cool breeze and weeping in the wind. Fortunately, there is still a reliable master.Zhang's mother patted the apprentice's small shoulder, and asked earnestly: "Then what is the relationship between Mr. Cui and Miss?"

Liangfeng turned around, with a vicissitudes on his face: "What is the origin? It's nothing more than two people who grew up in Biezhuang. They were childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, riding horses, fishing, and inseparable. The man Fen Fei joined the army and the woman entered the house, so once he entered the Hou family, it was as deep as the sea, and Cui Lang has been a passer-by since then! What kind of relationship do you think there is!"

Mama Zhang: =口=
Dear, let's not get excited, okay?

Cool Breeze took a deep breath, shook his head, and left!
In the following three days and with all the friendships accumulated in the past, she was quite familiar with the maids in Lin Yuanhui's yard, and she knew Cui Jing's work and rest time well.In addition, she also inquired about a very gossip--Lan Xin seemed to be taken over by the young master.I heard that when Lan Xin was looking at the picture of beauties playing in the water that the young lady gave her, it happened that the eldest young master had something to do with her, so the two talked about this picture for a long time, and in the end it was like this, like that. like that...

In this regard, Liangfeng specially asked Mother Zhang to ask a profound question: "Is it better to be a concubine for the master, or to be a concubine for the young master?"

Mama Zhang glanced at her, and smiled meaningfully: "Little girl, do you think it's easy to be a concubine of a rich family? How many maids have climbed onto the master's bed, and in the end it's just a common room. And..." Mama Zhang He lowered his voice, "Concubines are all playthings, and they can be given away to others at will, which means they sound better than domestic prostitutes. We are in the capital, and every family has a strict family style. There are relatively few such things, or they do it more discreetly. You In the rural area of ​​Biezhuang, Suzhou, I never heard of these things. But far away from the capital, especially the frontier fortress, some concubines live worse than pigs and dogs, they are just playthings."

Even though it didn't happen to her, Liangfeng still patted her heart in fright. Fortunately, she had a clear and feasible plan for her life.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then why does Lan Xin still..."

Mother Zhang smiled and said: "There will always be someone who succeeds. Not to mention, let's talk about our Anfu in the middle of Beijing. The old man of Anfu dotes on his concubine very much. This concubine gave him two young sons in succession. Life is extremely nourishing. Instead of finding a young man to marry, it is better to be taken over by the master or the young master, so that you can be regarded as a master, and you will look good."

Liangfeng feels that this kind of beautiful road is too difficult and too fortunate. Although it has a high return rate, it is also high risk. She should move steadily towards her goal of Xiaofu's home.But this goal has an absolute premise that her lady should not have any accidents!Thinking of this, Liang Feng felt sad, sniffed, and continued to carry out the plan of a green plum coming out of the wall...

Three days later, the newlyweds came back to live opposite the moon.Lin's mansion was busy again, Liangfeng saw the timing right, and decided that today is the day.

Cui Jing was in a daze in his room at this time, holding the post from the Minister of Rites yesterday in his hand, with a natural expression on his face, it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

I was bored, but I heard a few knocks on the door: "Master Cui, the young master invites you to the East Flower Hall."

Cui Jing immediately withdrew his thoughts, put the invitation card away, and went to open the door: "Take me there." After saying that, he smiled lightly, like the sky breaking through the clouds, which made the little servant girl blush, and quickly lowered her head, little girl Said: "Please come with me." I couldn't help reminding myself in my heart, be dignified, be dignified! !

This little maid is Liangfeng's little friend, Liangfeng pretends that he wants to see Mr. Cui's beauty, so he begs the little maid to take her to meet him.In addition, Liang Feng himself is indeed a well-known face control among the maids, so the little maid didn't suspect it.He only said: "Today the young master will be in the East Flower Hall with Mr. Cui, but before that the young master will go to talk to the second girl, so I will take Mr. Cui there for a while in advance, you should take a look quickly, don't let him Someone found it." Liangfeng agreed, stuffed a purse for her, and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, most of the people in the mansion were wandering around the madam and the second young lady, Qingyou, the East Flower Hall is indeed a good place for a tryst, ah!It's a good place to enjoy tea and flowers...

Although Cui Jing had a natural expression all the way, but he was always thinking about the invitation from the Minister of Rites in his arms, so he didn't pay much attention to the movement around him.

Until a cough made his eyes light up!
"Qingmei..." Cui Jing stood up unknowingly, and smiled stupidly, watching Qingmei wanting to pinch his shoulder and shaking back and forth vigorously——Cui Jing, are you awake or not? Sleepwalking mode! !
"Ah, it's me." Qingmei also smiled, but took half a step back, standing too close to look up.Cui Jing is tall, and now she barely reaches his shoulders.

"You..." Cui Jing faltered, unable to say a whole sentence for a long time.Xu Shi felt that he had never lost his composure before, so he lowered his head, supported the pillar beside him and started laughing foolishly.

Qingmei looked at him, with a question mark and an exclamation mark on his head—is this kid stupid for joining the army? !She simply walked over, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a serious face: "I don't have to laugh so stupidly to know that you are happy, really."

Cui Jing: "..." After staring at Qingmei for a while, he laughed even louder.

Qingmei sighed helplessly, she really couldn't figure out what Cui Jing was laughing at, could it be that she looked very attractive to laugh at?
After a long time, Cui Jing finally recovered his usual expression, looked at her with crooked eyes: "How have you been doing this year?"

Qingmei said: "I haven't seen you for a year, I found that you have become very fond of laughing now."

"Really?" Cui Jing kept smiling, but did not continue.Qingmei said to herself, "Maybe, a smile is the best expression to numb your opponent?"

A gleam of light flashed in Cui Jing's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened—as expected, is Lin Qingmei the one who understands him best in this world?

The room fell silent.The cool breeze outside the flower hall waited anxiously. It was already early winter, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't stop chanting Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless...

Cui Jing looked deeply at the person in front of him, and said word by word: "Shall I take you away?"

"Where to go?"

"Go to southern Fujian, where it is far away from the capital, and the people are tough, and the emperor can't control it."

Qingmei narrowed her eyes slightly: "So, after a year of training in the border town, you became a captain from an unknown soldier, and the purpose of returning to Beijing is to take a woman to wander the world?"

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, both of them looked like smiles but not smiles.

Qingmei sighed deeply: "You know very well in your heart, why bother."

Cui Jing looked away, the plum blossoms outside the window were in full bloom, as if his voice was inaudible: "It's too late, isn't it?"

Sometimes, fate is only one step away.

The silent flower hall was finally broken by Qingmei.

"Master Huang asked you to come to the capital this time?"

Cui Jing turned around: "Yes."

Qingmei took out the letter in her sleeve: "Before I came to the capital, my master gave it to me, and asked me to give it to Liu Xiang when necessary. But I think it will be more useful if you give him this letter now."

Cui Jing looked at her in surprise, and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

Qingmei smiled and said to him: "I guess. You want to know?"

Cui Jing nodded immediately.

Qingmei said: "You are just a captain now, according to your temperament, you will definitely not come back so early. And even if you come back, you should go to Suzhou to see Grandpa Cui instead of choosing to come to the capital, so you will definitely come to the capital this time." There are deeper reasons, this is the first. The second is not that I don't believe in your ability, but that you have reached the position of captain in just one year. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials. You shouldn’t be promoted so fast, so who can be your helper? The only person you knew before you went to the army was Master Huang. Do you still remember that when I taught you those fighting skills, I used to say that these are Huang? It is written in Master’s collection that you will definitely write to Master Huang when you are helpless after you go to the army. I have studied with Master for seven years. According to my understanding of Master, he will appreciate you and help you. Only One year, if you were able to become a captain, you should have received the guidance of the master. Third, if you had come earlier, I might not have guessed it, but in the past two months, I happened to know that the master is actually famous all over the world. Master, Master has a wide network of contacts, and Liu Xiang is also his student. Therefore, I guess it is Master's instruction for you to come to the capital this time, and let you get in touch with high-ranking officials in Beijing."

"As expected... you are still like this." Cui Jing sighed deeply after listening.Shrewd in some things, but always making jokes where everyone is used to it.

Qingmei accepted it smoothly, and asked back: "Isn't this bad?"

Cui Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "This is good, but you will suffer in the future."

Now, it's Qingmei's turn to be puzzled: "A loss?"

Cui Jing thought for a while, and seemed to be talking to himself: "But according to your temperament, even if you suffer a loss, you probably won't find out, and the matter will pass like that."

Qingmei: "..." What on earth was he talking about, and why she couldn't understand a word now.After going to the border town, Xiao Zhengtai turned into a black-bellied boy, so uncute!
The cool breeze outside the door finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed in bravely, whispering: "Miss, we should go!" The young master is coming soon! !

Qingmei nodded, and said to Cui Jing: "I'm leaving." She just lifted her foot and walked a few steps, but she turned her head around again, and shouted to the people behind her with a bright smile: "The smile is real!" After finishing speaking, He crossed the threshold without looking back.

Cui Jing stood there quietly until the man's back was no longer visible, and the smile that had been on his face finally dissipated.He has experienced too much this year in the border town.The carefree young man in Biezhuang had been constantly polished by the wind and frost outside the Great Wall. Maybe what he loved and liked was just the carefree and bold girl who happened to be with him during that time.Leaving the most beautiful person in the most beautiful time, Cui Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and put away Master Huang's letter and the invitation from the Minister of Rites together.

In fact, Qingmei only guessed half of his purpose for coming to Beijing this time. It is indeed thanks to Mrs. Huang that he can go to the captain now, but this time he came to Beijing because of someone else's instruction.No one will pay attention to an unknown little lieutenant, so no one will notice his next series of actions.

On the second day when all the officials rested, Cui Jing took the invitation and letter to the Minister of Rites' residence.

When Li Daguan of the Wangfu was struggling with this Cui Zhuma who jumped out of nowhere, his prince was soaking in the study early in the morning.Manager Li stood aside full of thoughts, Xie Yunzhao called him twice, and then he came back to his senses.He ran over to serve him in fear, but fortunately Xie Yunzhao didn't care much.Li Guanshi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be difficult to explain if the prince asks.

Xie Yunzhao changed his clothes, looked at the heavy snow outside the house, and said, "Has the silver carbon been delivered yet?"

Li Guanshi quickly cheered up: "It was delivered yesterday afternoon."

Ms. Lin is a little afraid of the cold. After winter, her limbs tend to get cold and her spirits are not good.This is the latest news sent by the hidden stakes in the Lin Mansion, so Prince Xie decisively allocated part of the tribute silver carbon to the Lin Mansion.

Xie Yunzhao nodded and got up: "Prepare the palanquin, follow me to Fang Shangshu's residence." (Fang Shangshu works as Minister of Rites.)
