Chapter 31 Ignorance
On the way back, Jin Xin told the whole story of the departure:
"... After applying the ointment, they all retreated for a moment. When they returned, they met King Ning in the big garden, and several noble people from the mansions were all sitting in the Youran Pavilion.
"Ms. Feng from the Right Minister of Rites' Mansion saw Miss Min, and pulled her away and spoke. I looked at me...Ms. Min didn't seem to be familiar with them.
"It's hard for me to follow the pavilion. Miss Min sat inside and talked to them for a long time, but suddenly walked out with His Highness Ning. She said she wanted to go for a walk behind, so she only brought her jade hairpin and let Xiangxue and I stay there waiting for her."
Cheng Xi listened with his hands and suddenly said:
"Just bring only the machete?"
Jin Xin nodded:
"As soon as Miss Min and His Highness Ning left, the people in the pavilion dispersed. I and Xiangxue waited for a long time before Miss Min came back with King Ning. She looked in a good mood." She said as she paused, looking at Cheng Xi and said softly, "I found that Miss Min had a hairpin on her head, so I dare not ask more..."
If Min Xiao gave this hairpin to Zhang Ze himself, wouldn’t it embarrassing that Jin Xin asked recklessly?
Cheng Xi couldn't help but frown.
She couldn't tell whether the hairpin was given by Min Xiao herself.
But there is one thing that can be confirmed, Min Xiao must have been involved in Zhang Ze's trap.
If Zhang Ze wants to take office, all he can rely on is a group of officials of the Wan family.
When the Lin Party fell in the previous life, the power of Cen Xian and others who Emperor Showa relied on was already solid, and many local officials could not be mobilized in time. The Chen Wan family had not yet achieved their status, and the official positions they could compete for were only those that were spared after the Lin Party was removed.
Even so, these official positions were forced to be sent to the marriage home in order to prevent Cen Xian from becoming the second Lin Fu.
But this time when Lin Fu fell, it was the time for the three-year examination for officials.
Cheng Yuanen therefore joined six ministries in advance, and the ministry's yamen changed from the original Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Personnel. The Chen Wan and his family also took this opportunity to grow.
Chen Xianfei's father Chen Kao is now appointed as the Minister of Works and is also appointed as the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace. He ranks fifth in the cabinet in terms of qualifications. However, Emperor Showa killed the donkey and undermined the chief assistant Cen Xian and the second assistant Xia Zhidong, and Chen Kao's prestige was greatly improved.
Although the Wan family has a larger root system than the Chen family, it cannot withstand the position of Chen Kao. If it weren't for the fact that the King of Chu later led to the corruption case of the Yellow River breaking the dam, it would be hard to say who the crown prince would fall to.
Both princes rely on the grandfather's family, and the Chen Wan and the other families rely on the gates of Emperor Showa. They can't get away from the circle of civil officials after fighting over and over again - they are extremely lacking in connections with military generals.
Among the military generals, the eight generals with the highest reputation and deepest foundation are the eight generals of the "Tiger and Wolf Army" who have experienced three dynasties. Among the eight generals, the only ones who remain in the capital are the Duke of England, the Marquis of Weiyuan and the General's Mansion.
Since Lin Fu fell, the Duke of England has kept a low profile and kept a low profile. There is only Cheng Xi, the Marquis of Weiyuan, who has never returned to Beijing for many years... It is not surprising that Zhang Ze will target Min Xiao.
Cheng Xi's heart became more and more heavy, and he told Qian Xin:
"You go and tell Qin Xiao that he will check the house of Yuzhan first."
The best answer is to the forefront.
Cheng Shi suddenly drove his horse to the carriage, knocked on the pane with a horse whip and said:
"I made an appointment tonight, and you will go back by yourself and say to my mother for me."
Cheng Xi lifted up the bamboo curtain and looked at him suspiciously:
"Why didn't you hear me before?"
She suspected that Cheng Shi was trying to avoid Wang's family. Not only did he not go to look at the girl honestly today, he also offended Princess Chunming.
Thinking of Chunming, Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
With Chunming's temperament, looking at her behavior today, it's hard to say that she is trying to find a way to take revenge!
She sternly face and reminded Cheng Shi with concern:
"Fourth brother, Princess Chunming has never suffered such a big loss. I see her provocations more and more today, and I may not let it go. If something happens... You should be careful these days."
Cheng Shi's face sank when he heard this and said coldly:
"If she is honest, she will be fine. If she dares to seek trouble... she will not be afraid even if she sues the emperor. Doesn't King Ning like to be kind to the wise and polite? With the words of King Ning, he will not beat her up with a raid!"
Jin Xin, who was standing beside him, listened to these words and remembered Princess Chunming's previous performances, and couldn't help but look back and forth on both of them in surprise.
Seeing that the brother and sister were serious, Jin Xin looked a little strange on her face - it turned out that there was more than one lady in her harsh mind.
He saw Cheng Xi gloating and said:
"If my mother asks, will I tell the truth?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shi sneered and glanced at her and said:
"What are you saying, "Why did the boy in Cheng'en Hou Mansion break your pot?"
Cheng Xi was immediately blocked and speechless, and couldn't help but stare at him angrily.
Cheng Shi suddenly lowered his face:
"What did you do before leaving the table?" He warned, "... Stay away from that boy, the water in Cheng'en Marquis's mansion is muddy!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xi hummed at him and put down the curtain.
She felt that Cheng Shi was simply inexplicable - what does it have to do with her if the water in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion is muddy or not?
If you want to be upset, it is Rong Qian and his future wife... Cheng Xi was suddenly stunned, and reached out to cover his heart and eyes were stunned.
His wife... He will not be able to find him from time to time when he gets married in the future.
By then, he would be afraid that he would not have time to pay attention to him.
Cheng Xi looked at something without any focus, only to feel that he was chatting in his mind that he didn't know what to think.
Jin Xin suddenly grabbed her hand tightly and called out:
"…Miss? Miss!"
Cheng Xi came to his senses and looked at Qian Xin in front of him for a while before saying:
"ah?"
Jin Xin was shocked when she saw Cheng Xi's face suddenly turned pale and her hands were cold again.
Just now, the Fourth Master said nothing casually, and the lady lost her soul like this!
When he saw Cheng Xi suddenly said softly:
"...It's too hot, I'll take a break." He closed his eyes and leaned against the soft pillow and stopped talking.
Jin Xin looked at her with worry.
After returning to Baoping Hutong, Cheng Xi was still a little unconscious and had no energy.
She jumped out of the carriage and went to Wang to pay tribute. Wang was talking to Shen Feng. When she saw Cheng Xi coming back, she hurriedly pulled her over and sit down, and asked with a smile:
"Come back? Have fun today?"
Cheng Xi forced a smile:
"Well, today I met many friends, A Xiao and Luo Yao are here, Zi Zhen is here, and I also met Dongyang from Shu Shang's family..."
I said a lot of words.
Wang's vision is so powerful that he can't see Cheng Xi's abnormality? Even Shen Feng noticed something was wrong with Cheng Xi.
Wang grabbed Cheng Xi's hand, and felt that his daughter's delicate hands were cold. Her expression changed and said:
"Sister Xi, you told your mother that what happened today?"
Cheng Xi was stunned and immediately sold Cheng Shi:
"...The fourth brother offended Princess Chunming." Search the official account on WeChat: wmdy66, you are lonely, the young lady warms you with movies
