After that day, there were rumors in the Imperial Academy that Jiang Boyou, the minister of the household department, and Xie Wei, the prince's junior teacher, had a quarrel over an examination answer sheet, which seemed to involve some kind of ethics. The Jiang Shilang, who was always kind to others, had an almost livid face, and even sneered at Xie Wei a couple of times in displeasure, only saying "how can that be so, how can it be so", and walked away.
No one wants to go anywhere else.
After all, how could a person like Master Xie who is as bright as the moon and with a good character have something to do with some "ethical principles"?
However, after Jiang Boyou and Xie Wei broke up unhappy after having a conversation, a cloud of cloud was buried in his heart, and he vaguely felt that it was definitely not a good thing for his daughter to be favored by such a high-ranking person. Moreover, Xie Wei's face changed so quickly before and after the event that he simply doubted whether this person was the same person as the Xie Ju'an he had known in the past.
After thinking about it again and again, he went to talk to Jiang Xuening when he came back that day.
After Jiang Xuening came to her senses in the afternoon, she had already started ordering the servant girl to re-count what she had, and wrote back to You Fangyin, intending to leave for Sichuan this month. It's just right that Jiang Boyou sent someone to invite her.
In the study, Chang Zhuo, who was waiting beside Jiang Boyou, served tea and retreated.
Only the father and daughter were left in the room.
Jiang Boyou pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "Ning girl, your sister's marriage is now settled, and you will only be married in two days. I think you don't seem to like to go out much since you came back from the palace companion. Man The son of the wealthy Xungui family in the capital, except for the son of Dingfei who is really not very good, I wonder if there is any one you like? It's time for the family to make a plan for you."
Sure enough, when she was old, the family began to worry about her marriage.
Jiang Xuening picked up the tea, lowered her head and only saw her shaking eyes reflected in the cup and the sparkle in her eyes, the face that first came to mind was cold and solemn, but it didn't bring her much tenderness Desire, but there is a faint tingling pain.
With a trembling hand, she slowly put down the teacup.
Jiang Boyou looked at her expression, and quickly said: "Father is not in a hurry to betroth you to someone. If you have a good time with that prince Dingfei, and his problems of drinking and drinking and being cynical can be cured, and if you really like it, you can do it too." No, no..."
Jiang Xuening laughed: "Father is worrying too much, I don't like this person."
Jiang Boyou breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that if she liked Xiao Dingfei, he might as well be Xie Wei!
He continued to ask, "So you really have someone you like?"
Of course there are.
It's a pity that the person she likes doesn't seem to like her.
Jiang Xuening felt that she shouldn't answer this question, so she simply didn't answer it, and said bluntly: "Father, my daughter doesn't want to talk about marriage right now. Things are bothering me in Beijing, so my daughter plans to go to Shuzhong this month to get married." Relax."
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Boyou was so taken aback that his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
"How old are you, a girl's family, where is the middle of Sichuan?"
Jiang Xuening knew that things would not go so smoothly. After all, it sounds unbelievable that a girl who has not left the cabinet is going to go away by herself.
Jiang Boyou had this reaction, she was not surprised.
But since she dared to say this, she was naturally prepared.
He only continued indifferently: "Some time ago, there was a marriage between His Royal Highness the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Beijing, and the daughter was involved behind the scenes. It was also my daughter's idea to suggest that Xiao Shu should be married on behalf of the princess."
Jiang Boyou stood up in shock: "What did you say?!"
He knocked over the teacup.
Jiang Xuening didn't finish her sentence, and added: "The reason why I didn't return on the day of the wedding ceremony, Your Highness, was because I was planning Li Daitao's death, and planned to intercept and kill the wedding team halfway. It's just that Your Highness doesn't want to, so Failed."
"..."
This time Jiang Boyou was completely speechless.
Jiang Boyou only thinks that his daughter likes to play a little bit, likes to make a lot of trouble, but it is only among young people, how could he think that she has a hand in the recent wind and rain?
When the cognition is subverted, it is completely unable to respond.
Jiang Xuening calmly analyzed the pros and cons for him: "Xiao Shu is very clear about this matter. Now she is a newly favored virtuous concubine in the palace, and she is thinking of ways to take revenge on me. If my daughter stays in the capital, she will not know How many absurd things do you have to do? The second one is that the elder sister who has become the side concubine of Linzi may be involved if the words and deeds are insignificant; the third one is that if Xiao Shu stares at her daughter for revenge, it may not implicate the family. This is not to leave the capital for a while, and stay away. What a disaster, people in the capital haven't seen my daughter for a long time, so they gradually forget it. I also heard that the people in Tianfu are outstanding, and my daughter went to Shuzhong to change her past. Naturally, no one knows how domineering I am in Beijing, maybe it's my father. Find a good son-in-law. I ask my father to think about it."
But in fact, Jiang Boyou agrees or disagrees, it doesn't matter to her.
If he agrees, it is easy for Yi Ying to go out; if he does not agree, the worst thing is to run out secretly like You Fangyin in the previous life, and Zhou Yinzhi can take care of such things as road guides. What's more, compared to You Fangyin in the previous life, she still has more silver taels in her hands, so she is not in the slightest embarrassment.
For the first time, anger appeared in Jiang Boyou's heart.
But when Jiang Xuening said it, the anger subsided instead.
It wasn't that Jiang Xuening was persuaded by such far-fetched rhetoric, but because of Xie Wei. The second daughter has been homeless for many years, and after returning to the capital, it is true that he did not take care of her well, so she already owes a lot. If she has no intentions of Xie Wei, and Xie Wei wants to take advantage of it, he should never sit idly by. But he also knows Xie Ju'an's abilities better than others, if Jiang Xuening stays in the capital, the situation is not optimistic.
Going to Shuzhong in this way may not be impossible.
Although the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the location is remote, at least it avoids the turmoil of the capital, and Xie Wei is beyond his reach. The risk of falling into the notoriety of "teacher-student chaos" can naturally be eliminated.
He frowned and thought for a long time, finally sighed, and asked, "You've made up your mind?"
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Xuening knew that the matter was over.
She said firmly, "Not bad."
Jiang Boyou said: "I'll think about it, and I'll see what's going on in Sichuan. Even if you're going, you need to make some arrangements at home."
Jiang Xuening stood up and bowed: "Thank you, father."
Originally planning to listen to her daughter's conversation about marriage for her, it was stopped abruptly because of Jiang Xuening's sudden proposal to leave the capital.
Jiang Boyou opened the case files to see the situation in Shu.
Jiang Xuening retired from the study and returned to her room.
The maids brought out all her valuables, just because Jiang Xuening told her in the afternoon that she would go out soon, and some valuables were inconvenient to carry, so they had to be pawned.
It's just that Tang'er Lian'er hesitated when she dug out the sapphire bracelet from the dowry.
They didn't know where this bracelet came from, and it wasn't a particularly expensive item, but Jiang Xuening had always put it at the bottom of the dowry. And last year, the reason why Wang Xing's family was attacked by a girl and got into bad luck was because of this bracelet.
The two murmured for a while, but they didn't dare to put the bracelet among the things to be pawned, but put it alone in a small box on the table.
So when Jiang Xuening came back, she saw it as soon as she raised her eyes.
Lian'er hurriedly came up and explained: "What I saw in the dowry just now, the servants and Tang'er didn't dare to touch it, I want to ask you how to deal with it?"
Hetian sapphire has a warm jade color and a smooth texture, like washing water waves.
Jiang Xuening picked it up, feeling a little dazed.
Tang'er and Lian'er didn't dare to speak.
After a while, Jiang Xuening suddenly asked: "When did Shen Jie get married?"
Everyone called him "His Royal Highness the King of Linzi". At first hearing the word "Shen Jie", the two maids didn't react, but immediately wiped off Jiang Xuening's boldness and replied, "Only this month, ten Eight, there are not two days left. Is the girl going?"
Jiang Xuening put the jade bracelet back into the box.
But there seemed to be a bit of emptiness blown away by the wind and clouds in his eyes, and he only said slowly: "It's still time to go and see."
