Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 189 It Was Her (3)
Zheng Ruo raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Brother, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, okay. You rest, you rest. Big brother won't bother you anymore." Zheng Jinxiao accompanied her with a smiling face.

Seeing him walk out of the courtyard, she turned around, and Liu Xu hurried over to serve her, and asked softly, "Girl, is the banquet tonight fun?"

Zheng Ruo shook his head and ordered: "Prepare hot soup, I want to take a bath."

"It's already prepared for you."

Zheng Ruo nodded, turned into the bathroom without saying a word, waved away the catkins, entered the barrel, rested his head on the side, looked at the roof, and only sighed faintly after a long time .

For tonight's banquet, no matter whether it's Li Yun or the eldest brother, they have been packing up and going by themselves.If she said she didn't know that there was such a person as the sixteenth princess in the palace, she would not believe it herself.They just wanted to give up on Wang Jiulang.

She smiled lightly, when did she ever fall in love with Wang Jiulang?But it's just a play on the occasion, let him help him through some difficulties.When thinking like this, there is always a small voice in my heart that wants to come out, but she suppresses it severely.But I couldn't suppress that sour, astringent, very unpleasant feeling.

The city of Phoenix is ​​divided into four directions, with the east as the most respected, and the people who live there are from aristocratic families. The west city is the worst, and it is the poorest place in the whole city.When Li Yun was a beggar leader, he lived in a ruined temple in Xishi.Today, he fought in Zhiyang City and became famous in one fell swoop, and he can be regarded as an upstart in Phoenix City and even the entire western Liaoning.There are many people in the family who please him, the gate god of western Liaoning, so before his Wubao was built, he chose a five-entry mansion in the east of the city as his residence.It is said that all the houses in the Central Plains are custom-made.For those who are officials in the Central Plains or those with deep family background, the bigger the official, the bigger the house.If you are just a commoner, you are not qualified to live in a big house with five or even seven entrances, even if you have money, you cannot live in it.This was clearly stipulated. It stands to reason that Li Yun is only a village head of Sima Chufeng, and he is far from qualified to live in Wujin's house.But when Sima Chu abandoned the city and fled, because the sky was high in Phoenix City and the emperor was far away, the aristocratic families gave Li Yun such a big house, which was tantamount to supporting him in disguise.

At this moment, he had just returned from the banquet in the palace, and went straight into the study to deal with official duties.

The night is about to pass, and the east is twilight, revealing the softest moment of the day.

Tonight is destined to be the sleepless eyes of Phoenix City.Because of the night banquet in the palace, because of Princess Sixteen, because of the Xie family, and because of Zheng Ruo.

"My lord..." Lingnan knelt on the mat, and persuaded earnestly, "Now my lord is weak, if I can marry a big family, whether it is money or manpower, it will get twice the result with half the effort. My lord, go back to Phoenix City Before that, General Yin gave thousands of warnings and asked his subordinates to persuade you." Seeing Li Yun, who was at the head, only focused on handling official documents, Lingnan wrinkled his eyebrows and urged again, "My lord, tonight's palace banquet, Wang Jiulang What is the reason, the Lord doesn’t know yet? Don’t disappoint Jiulang’s painstaking efforts. The unmarried sisters-in-law who are here tonight are all daughters-in-law of aristocratic families, especially the daughter-in-law of the Xie family who is one of the best in the city , not only the appearance is excellent, but also the character and talent are rare. If you can marry the Xie Mansion, the Lord of Liaoxi will have half of it in your hands."

Li Yun buried his head in his business and didn't look up. When he heard Xie Wanying's name, his hand holding the brush paused slightly, thinking of what Ah Ruo had said, and remembering that this woman humiliated Zheng Ruo at the gate of the palace, he felt a little unhappy.

Lingnan's ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate, seeing him like this, he knew that he was dissatisfied with Xie Wanying.He also went to the night banquet today. To be honest, he really couldn't think of why the Lord would not like such a stunning woman?And this woman's family background is so remarkable.Of course, in private, he somewhat knows that Wang Jiulang has some friendship with the lord, and even everything about the lord is slowly planned by him, so, in his opinion, if there is a daughter of the Langya Wang family to marry the lord, that is It's even more perfect.However, he also knew that this was wishful thinking, unless the lord had already been granted the title of marquis and prime minister, a small village chief would really make Langya Wang look down on him.

He thought for a while, and said without giving up: "My lord, although there are a lot of gentry families here tonight, the Xie clan has the deepest heritage..."

Li Yun was a little impatient with his long-winded words, so he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is it because if I don't marry a sister-in-law from an aristocratic family, won't you shut up?"

Lingnan smiled awkwardly, "My lord, although we now have Yongzhou and two cities. But this is also the most remote area in the Central Plains, and without the imperial court's invitation, the lord will be dishonorable." Shun, when the imperial court has no food and salary, what will the lord use to raise soldiers? Therefore, for the above points, we should plan ahead and find an aristocratic family to marry as soon as possible. Only when we have money can we handle things..."

Since returning from the palace, Li Yun has not rested, and has been dealing with official duties.And as long as he appeared here, Lingnan persuaded him for as long.Although he knew that Lingnan was a rare counselor, but this long-winded energy was really unbearable.He decisively interrupted him and asked: "Is it because I married my sister-in-law from an aristocratic family, and if you have a source of money, you will shut up?"

"Uh……"

Li Yun threw a bamboo slip to him as he spoke.

Lingnan opened it to take a look, his face darkened, and he was happy again.The bad thing is that the sister-in-law the lord is going to marry is exactly what Yin Su and he expected. The good news is that the lord has several private salt wells, so you don't have to worry about money anymore.

He sighed in his heart, this sister-in-law is Wang Jiulang's wife, how can the master fight for it?Furthermore, it is a very loss-making business for him and Yin Su to break face with Wang Jiulang for a sister-in-law.

"Lord..."

"Okay, don't talk too much. I have married a woman from an aristocratic family according to your words, and I have money." The implication is that at this moment, you can leave.

Lingnan's mouth opened, but he let out a low sigh.Some mournfully glanced at the young man above who was writing furiously, stood up, saluted and stepped back.Thinking about slowly persuading him in the future, maybe when Zheng Ruo marries Wang Jiulang, the Lord will get rid of this thought.
