Chapter 95 Letter
"We have our own way of doing things since we are small. Let's invite a few friends we know to get together and it will be considered a coming-of-age ceremony."
Jiang Qingning raised her hand and rubbed her hair, then laughed and said, "You are a little smart kid, don't worry, I won't miss your coming-of-age ceremony."
She looked at Jiang Yuerou again and said, "If we can't find anyone by then, please ask the Third Young Lady of Pingjiang Marquis' Mansion to help us ask your grandmother or mother-in-law. After all, you seem to be the most reliable now."
"Of course. We will definitely not let our youngest sister, the legitimate descendant of the Jiang family, lose face."
Jiang Yuerou replied softly. She had been learning the rules of the mistress from her mother these past few days, and she already had the rudiments of being the head of the household.
The three of them chatted and laughed while eating, and after the meal they sat together in the flower hall to chat and laugh.
Zi Su walked in quickly and saluted, saying, "Miss, there's movement in the front yard."
Jiang Qingning's eyebrows moved slightly, with a look of understanding in his eyes. He put down the account book in his hand and said, "Now it seems that I can't hold it in any longer."
After a month or so, she thought that the front yard was going to completely retreat into retreat, but she didn't expect that it had been preparing for an attack.
"You guys play here now, I'm going to the study to take care of some business."
Jiang Qingxi and Jiang Yuerou nodded in tacit understanding. Looking at her leaving figure, Jiang Yuerou looked at the person next to her: "Is Sister always so busy?"
Jiang Qingxi was alert in his heart, but he had a smile on his face.
"Sister is running the huge Ning Pavilion, with dozens of people, so she's naturally very busy, especially dealing with the servants of the Judges, which is easy for her."
Jiang Yuerou nodded in understanding, confirming her words and saying, "I need to learn this from my elder sister. After all, we don't know what day it will be in Pingjiang Marquis' Mansion yet."
She understood the warning in Jiang Qingxi's words very well, so she just nodded as if she didn't understand, as if she wanted to learn from the experience.
"You are also pitiful. You can't figure out what it means to be a noble lady in a deep house. It's better to be a free and easy female knight, punishing evil and promoting good, saving the world!"
"Your ambition is good, but I grew up in the capital, hidden away in seclusion, unknown to the world. I don't have the same vision as you."
"The fact that I can marry into the Pingjiang Marquis's Mansion is already a blessing earned through three lifetimes of cultivation."
Jiang Yuerou's eyes were full of determination. From the first moment she saw the surprise and astonishment in Yu Sheng's eyes, she had been thinking about how to integrate into Yu Sheng's heart.
Fortunately, he had never been with a woman, and the two happened to meet at the age when he was most easily moved by emotions.
study.
Jiang Qingning took the letter paper on the table, picked up the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote the message on the letter paper. Then he carefully checked to make sure it was correct.
She folded the letter, placed it carefully in the envelope, and sealed it with sealing wax.
"Later, you will personally pass this letter through Qingzhi... to Qin Xiu. Don't let anyone else get hold of it along the way. Make sure Qin Xiu gets it."
Jiang Qingning gave her instructions seriously, and Zisu nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take care of it!"
Aunt Zhang frowned and said, "But based on the few clues we've found these days, isn't it a little too early to confirm it?"
Jiang Qingning shook his head. "It's almost certain. The identity of this Uncle Fu has been confirmed. He was an old official of the previous dynasty who willingly accepted exile. After many twists and turns, he finally settled in a remote village. He didn't marry or have children, but took care of and raised someone else's son."
"Of course they have some ulterior motive and a unique purpose for doing so."
"The identities of each of the three of them are questionable, especially Wei Zhai. The timing of his appearance is too coincidental. Everything seems to have been planned in advance."
"In short, it is better to kill a hundred people by mistake than to let one go."
late at night.
Jiang Qingning sat behind the desk, his eyes passing over the flickering candlelight and then over the thick and dark night outside the study.
Wei Zhai, Lao Fu, and Wen Ziyi, these three were like stones thrown into a pool of stagnant water, stirring up an indescribable undercurrent.
"Miss, it's time to rest. If you have anything to discuss, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Zi Su added a new candle, looked at the night outside the window, raised her hand and lowered the window shutter.
Jiang Qingning shook his head: "I can't figure it out. Has there been any news on the people we sent out to investigate?"
She wrote to Qin Xiu during the day, talking about the strange behavior of the three people in the family, and the northern accent that Wen Ziyi occasionally revealed when she spoke at night, which made her doubt their true identities.
So a month ago, she sent a caravan to Wei Zhai's hometown to investigate their background, but she got a shocking piece of news when she followed the clues.
"Miss, are you worried that they will affect us?"
Zi Su stood beside her obediently, frowning slightly, and said, "It's just that Lord Qin has already believed it and said he would solve the problem and start investigating it."
"No, telling Qin Xiu is just to clear our suspicion."
"Although Qin Xiu won't doubt us, it's inevitable that others won't. I have a bunch of relatives and opponents who are eyeing me covetously, so I can't make any mistakes."
"Wei Zhai appears to be a silent and reserved scholar, but the resentment hidden deep in his eyes is frightening. No wonder he is that man's son."
Jiang Qingning said in a deep voice, "Old Fu may seem old and frail, and his movements may be slow, but his eyes are sharp enough to penetrate a person's heart. And Wen Ziyi, with her deliberate inexperienced demeanor and the complicated glances she occasionally gives Wei Zhai that are definitely not admiration, all make people feel uneasy."
"As long as this threat is not eliminated, people will not be able to live in peace."
What's more, cooperating with Qin Xiu is a springboard that allows her to directly access imperial power and gain the favor of the royal family.
Don't rely on men, create opportunities for yourself. If you can't become a good talent, then become a "helper".
Duke Qin's Mansion.
In the study.
Qin Xiu took out a piece of letter paper as thin as a cicada's wing from the rosewood box, looked at the words written on it, and a faint smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He could even imagine the seriousness with which Jiang Qingning wrote these words, and the shadow cast by his thick eyelashes.
"Some time ago, my home took in three guests, a scholar named Wei, his teacher, and a woman named Wen. The three of them seemed to be behaving strangely.
Wei Sheng and his teacher often have secret conversations late at night, their voices are low and seem to contain secret codes. Wen Nu seems to be kind and innocent, but she is not good at dealing with the powerful families in the capital.
The rules and regulations of the mansion were occasionally mentioned, and I was quite familiar with them, unlike an ordinary peasant girl. Qingning has been paying attention to them for a long time and dared not make any rash judgments. However, I feel uneasy and want to tell you this."
Qin Xiu held the letter to his chest, a smile slowly forming at the corner of his lips.
In Ning Pavilion, the warm breeze, carrying the sweet fragrance of the locust flowers blooming in the courtyard, lazily brushed past the carved windows.
Jiang Qingning was writing at the desk.
The sunlight from outside the window filtered in through the green gauze, casting light and shadow on her plain clothes.
Zi Su came in skipping and bounding, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Miss, there's a letter from Lord Qin."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingning quickly put down the brush in his hand, walked around the desk, and quickly walked to Zi Su to take it.
