Lang Jun is coming

After the official order was issued, in just a few days, all officials who participated in Jiangnan's corruption and extortion of bribes were escorted to Beijing, and they were only to be interrogated and recorded before being beheaded and exiled.

The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has almost changed a lot. The court has been arguing over who will take over these errands in the past few days.No one wants to give away this piece of fat.Not to mention that Jiangnan is far away from the capital and there are no bandits, even the oil and water are the most in all places.

The courtroom was full of quarrels, but the three who caused the turmoil were enjoying tea and playing chess leisurely in the back garden of the mansion.

The hollow Boshan stove on the table case rises wisps of smoke, and the elegant fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Chen Juncong took a breath slowly, took the tea that Meng Ruanqing had brewed and held it in his hand.Looking at the friend who was painting tea and Baixi, he asked: "The chess game is halfway through, and the tea has been drunk. Why don't you tell us why you came here?"

As soon as he asked, Meng Ruanqing also looked curiously at Pei Lian beside him.

As far as they know, this friend of theirs is rarely so leisurely and elegant.

The gentleman's three elegant things.Burning incense, drinking tea, hanging pictures.Now it occupies two, which is not in line with Pei Lian's style at all.

Regardless of his politeness, if the two of them hadn't witnessed Pei Lian kicking off the leg of an official who wanted to abscond in fear of crime, they would have thought him a weak civil servant who couldn't hold a knife handle.

Pei Lian dipped the bamboo stick in his hand into the tea powder thickened with water, and finished writing the last stroke of the word "Song" on the tea foam before stopping.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask some trivia about the capital."

As he spoke, all kinds of things from yesterday appeared in his mind.Unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Meng Ruanqing and Chen Juncong were amazed.Can trivial matters make Pei Lian, who is known as the "Jade Faced Tiger" in this dynasty, smile?

Chen Juncong threw away the chess pieces in his hand, the left and right didn't come here to play chess. "What trivia?"

Pei Lian pushed the cup of tea with the word "Song" forward in front of them.His slender fingers tapped the rim of the cup.The upright and sharp words on the tea foam shook slightly.

"Do you know how many young ladies there are in Song Fu's mansion, the right minister?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Ruanqing and Chen Juncong were completely dumbfounded.

Pei Lian asked them about the official family members?

Meng Ruanqing deliberated for a while, and asked cautiously, "Brother Wei Song, why did you ask the female relatives in Song Fu's mansion?"

I had never heard of Pei Lian getting close to any official lady before.The two of them, Chen Juncong, are already engaged and just waiting to be married.Meng Ruanqing had a childhood sweetheart.Only Pei Lian had never had a marriage contract, nor had he ever met the person he liked.

Pei Lian leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Yesterday I rode past Song Fu's house and saw his lady climbing a rockery. It was very cute and interesting."

Meng Ruanqing: "..."

Chen Juncong: "..."

Both of them could not help but doubt the authenticity of these words.Which little lady is not taught to be knowledgeable, but also able to climb a rockery?

After a long silence, Meng Ruanqing saw that Pei Lian didn't seem to be making fun of her, so she was defeated and told about the affairs of Song Fu's mansion one by one.

"I heard that Song Fu has two daughters and a son. Song Fu's wife is devoted to love and has few children. The eldest lady married the editor in the palace two years ago. The second lady is not married yet, but she will soon. "

Hearing this, Pei Lian frowned, "What do you mean?"

At this time, Chen Juncong said: "Before we went south, there were rumors that Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Yanchen went to Song Fu's mansion to propose a marriage for his son, and pointed out that it was the second lady Song Wan, and Song Fu also agreed. A few days."

Pei Lian's heart suddenly became half cold, and he felt heavy and bored.Fortunately, it was only a one-time relationship, and there was no deep intersection.It's a pity that there is no fate.No matter what, there is no way to snatch a kiss.

Sensing his expression, Chen Juncong patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.

Life is fleeting, and it is not easy to meet someone you like, but good luck tricks people.

In the Song Mansion, Song Yiqing took a pair of wild geese and looked at it again and again, and said to the elder sister who was a little discouraged: "Is the second sister getting married too?"

He rarely leaves the house.Now that the two sisters are leaving the house, I'm afraid he will be even more boring.

The younger brother in front of me is wearing women's clothing.Fair-skinned and delicate-looking.Even Song Wan herself sometimes couldn't tell whether she had a younger brother or a younger sister.

"You have to study hard, and you will be on the list next year. When you become an adult, you will naturally be able to change back into men's clothes and go out."

Song Yiqing nodded.Next year, he will be able to take off his women's clothes and participate in the Spring Festival.Both husband and father look forward to his high school.

Envy flashed across Song Wan's eyes.Men can still study and serve as officials in the court, but women like themselves can only rely on their fathers, husbands, and sons.

On the day when Chunwei published the list, scholars surrounded the list posted on the wall with water.And the sedan chair where the second lady of Yousi Lang Zhongfu got married was blocked there.The groom's horse was startled again. In the chaos, Pei Lian, who had just returned from the palace, met him. He took the reins of the horse with his bare hands, forced the horse's kicking hooves down, and comforted him a little.That's the way to save the day.

Sitting on the horseback, Zhao Shichu's back was covered with sweat, his legs were limp and he got off the horse. He thanked Pei Lian, "Thank you, brother, for your rescue. Can you tell me your name? I will come to thank you someday."

The palm of his hand was burning and painful because he pulled the rein too hard, and it was red.Pei Lian rubbed his wrist.I thought it was a coincidence.This Zhao Shichu's father, Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Yanchen impeached himself a lot.Counting it, they are still people in the court who have disliked each other for a long time.

In the sedan chair, Song Wan slowly lifted a corner of the bead curtain, and just in front of the welcoming team, a man in a crimson official uniform with handsome features cupped his hands and said, "Tai Changqing, Pei Lian."

The man named Pei Lian had a narrow smile on his mouth, which made people feel like a spring breeze.Song Wan lost his mind for a moment.

After Pei Lian's words fell, Zhao Shichu's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't take it back.He didn't know what Pei Lian looked like, but he still knew that his father had been at odds with him for a long time.
