Before Wen Liulang could fully recognize it, Wen Xueqing snatched back the paper in his hand.

"Don't look!"

Wen Liulang curled his lips: "If you don't watch it, you don't watch it."

Having said that, it didn't take long for Wen Liulang to turn his head around again, his eyes fixed on the paper on the table.

Wen Xueqing's flower paper, which is used for gift paper, is mixed with hibiscus flower juice or other seasonal dyes, and there is a faint herbal fragrance when you smell it closely.

"Sister, can you give me one?"

Wen Liulang has been reading and writing for so long, and has never used such fine paper, so he immediately asked Wen Xueqing for it: "Sister, if you don't use it, give it to me, so that it won't be wasted."

Wen Xueqing was debating whether to invite Lingrou or not. She thought about several wordings, and wrote several papers, but she still couldn't make a decision.

Speaking of which, she hasn't seen Ling Rou for a while.

It was all caused by that night in Shangyuan, so she didn't dare to appear in front of Ling Rou, for fear of being recognized by her.

The two people who are in such a hurry can be so harmonious in music.

Wen Xueqing couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in, but luckily Lingrou didn't know, otherwise she really didn't know what expression to use to face her.

The ancients said that a bosom friend is rare, but the bosom friend you can meet is your enemy...

I was annoyed, but Wen Liulang was still chattering in front of her, Wen Xueqing wanted to send him away.

"Go, go, go... I'm busy now, I'll play later, have you finished the homework assigned by your husband?"

Wen Liulang took several discarded papers from Wen Xueqing in a row, and he was still happy. Before Wen Xueqing could react, he ran away happily.

"I didn't attend her ceremony last year..." Wen Xueqing frowned, not having time to argue with Wen Liulang, "If I let her attend mine, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?"

The flower note with Lingrou's name was crossed out again.

"But if you don't invite me, doesn't it prove that I am too stingy to accommodate Lingrou?"

The brush dipped in ink dripped a bean-sized ink dot on the paper, Wen Xueqing sighed helplessly, and wasted another piece of paper.

This is not enough, other people's papers have not been finished yet, but Ling Rou has used up half of the paper.

Unable to come up with a clue, Wen Xueqing simply threw away the pen and paper, got a horse tied up, and went back to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

There is still some time left, she has to think carefully about how to face Ling Rou.

===

Ling Rou's Ji Ji ceremony was a big event in Linzhou's boudoir women's family last year.Lingrou's good day, even if she handed over the invitation, Wen Xueqing didn't want to go.

Princess Lekang came to Ling Rou's wedding ceremony in person, and also gave a valuable congratulatory gift. As for Wen Xueqing's absence, no one cared for a while.The little girls are fighting each other, after all, they are just young and vigorous. When they grow up and marry, they will have to worry about daily housework, so they will fight when they have free time.

The wheat is ripe and the people are full. This year is another bumper harvest year. The prefectural pastoral government has long issued an order requiring the counties and counties below to cooperate in harvesting wheat.

Wen Guanghe, together with Wen Jiming, didn't stand still and take a break from the meeting. Wen Xueqing was left alone and was happy to be alone.

So, when Wen Jiming finally took a rest for a long time, he went to the Wen Mansion to greet Princess Lekang and came back, but no one could find Wen Xueqing, so he immediately asked the family guards to quickly arrest Wen Xueqing, who was carefree in the mountains and forests outside Tongli City.

"Brother, are you free today?" Seeing that Wen Jiming's expression was not very good-looking, Wen Xueqing didn't dare to say that she hadn't had enough fun yet, so she could only look at his expression cautiously.

Wen Jiming snorted: "I was supposed to rest, but now I'm troubled again."

"Who messed with you?" Wen Xueqing tried to ease the atmosphere, "I just caught a mountain pheasant and a hare from the mountain, and asked the kitchen to cook it for my brother."

"..."

The elder brother didn't answer for a long time, just sat there with staring eyes, Wen Xueqing really didn't know what happened, so she could only stand and wait stupidly.

"That's all!" Wen Jiming flicked his sleeves, "Let's forgive you for now, if you mess around next time, I'll sue Ah Weng and let him discipline you!"

Wen Jiming's behavior means that the matter is not serious, Wen Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"What do you think I should say about you, one of them ran around without watching, and even forgot his own ceremony."

Wen Xueqing scratched her head and said nothing.

There was only one person she struggled with.

——Does Lingrou invite you or not?

"Auntie has worked hard for your ceremony, and tried to do everything possible, but there are some things that you have to do by yourself." Wen Jiming said, "Don't you know what to do only if your father comes forward in person?"

Seeing Wen Xueqing drooping her head, Wen Jiming couldn't bear to teach her more.

When his mother let go and went west, Wen Xueqing was too young to remember, but he remembered how his mother asked him to take good care of Wen Xueqing before she left.

Sometimes, Wen Jiming would have the illusion that he was raising his daughter.Regarding Wen Xueqing's matter, everything was done in detail, nagging, loving mother and strict father.

...Obviously he and Wen Xueqing are not much different in age, and he has not married a wife and had children yet.

Wen Jiming's meaning is very simple, Wen Xueqing's courteous ceremony, she can invite whoever she likes, but Ling Rou can't be left out, and the scene can't be too shabby.

Wen Xueqing: "I don't want to invite you! All the noble girls in Linzhou are friendly with Ling Rou, so I don't want to be nice to them!"

Wen Jiming laughed angrily: "So you play alone?"

She despises those who are too low-ranking to flatter Wen Xueqing, and those who are two-sided disdain deep friendship. If they are evenly matched, only Ling Rou is the only one.

What's more, the song of Shangyuan Ye made Wen Xueqing even more suspicious, what should she do if Ling Rou recognized her.

Wen Jiming patiently said: "I don't need to say how important Jiji is. Last year, Jiji, the daughter of the Ling family, and even the eldest sister, Princess Li, came back on purpose. At that time, you refused to go out of anger, and my aunt saved face for you."

"I see. I'll go back and discuss it with my aunt." Wen Xueqing lowered her head, "I won't let my aunt worry too much."

Try to think of a way to make Auntie dispel the idea of ​​letting Lingrou be her admirer.

The mountain pheasants and hares caught on the mountain before ended up in the stove of Wen's mansion.

Princess Lekang smiled when she saw Wen Xueqing: "Why did Zhenzhen suddenly think of coming back?"

After Wen Xueqing returned to live in the State Shepherd's Mansion, she never went back to live in Wen's Mansion.

Probably due to a guilty conscience, please An came and went in a hurry, lest she ask more questions.

"Zhenzhen misses my aunt." Wen Xueqing grinned, "I heard from my brother that my aunt got a headache because of my troubles. Zhenzhen felt so guilty that she caught a mountain pheasant and a hare to make amends."

Princess Lekang smiled and said nothing, not revealing Wen Xueqing's fault.

Wen Xueqing was raised by her alone, and she also knew that Wen Xueqing didn't like Lingrou.These are nothing in the eyes of Princess Lekang. ,

The praisers are usually the sisters and friends of the Jizhe. Wen Xueqing has no sisters, so the original plan is to invite Gao Lan to be the praiser.

Princess Lekang asked Wen Xueqing to ask Ling Rou to be her praiser.

"Gao Lan is close to me, why don't you invite her?" Wen Xueqing was unwilling, and it's not that Princess Le Kang didn't know about her and Ling Rou's flirt.

"The Gao family and the Ling family are always one level behind, and..." Princess Lekang paused, and said, "I intend to propose a daughter from the Ling family for my son-in-law."

"Auntie!" Wen Xueqing couldn't sit still, "Daughter of the Ling family? Ling Rou? Marry who? Is it the fifth brother or the elder brother?"

"Undecided, I'm still thinking about it."

Of the Wen family's children who didn't get married, only Wen Jiming and Wen Wulang were left. Wen Xueqing was unwilling to choose one of the two.

After going around like this, she and Lingrou are going to be sisters-in-law?

Wen Xueqing refused: "Brother is so beautiful, how can Lingrou match him?"

Ling Rou is used to being good at pretending, and Wen Xueqing didn't like her appearance of smirking even though she was clearly disgusted.

Now, she doesn't want her to find out that she is the one who plays with her.

I always feel that they suddenly get close and have a deep friendship. If Lingrou is her sister-in-law again, wouldn't they be facing each other every day...

Princess Lekang reprimanded sharply: "Speak carefully! The daughter of the Ling family is dignified and upright, she behaves well, she can be a wife of Wen's family."

Looking at the dynasty, there are only so many families that can marry the Wen family.

The situation in Linzhou is becoming more and more tense. The emperor is mediocre, and the powerful ministers are not ministers. Linzhou is not a place like an iron bucket. These aristocratic families pay more attention to "family" than "country".The throne has changed its surname, but the people working under it are still those people, but when the new king ascends the throne, he still has to rely on them, as long as he stands in line in time, why worry?

Princess Lekang didn't even dare to ask whether Wen Guanghe would have supported the Luoyang Emperor so firmly if she hadn't been born in the royal family.

Surviving in the cracks is too difficult, and Wen Guanghe works hard to support him, and he will be tired and resentful.Princess Lekang knew very well what nature the Son of Heaven was. If it hadn't been for the support of the late Emperor, she would not have been able to sit in that position, and King Zhao would not feel resentful.

Princess Lekang said decisively: "Anyway, someone from the Wen family must marry a daughter from the Ling family!"

"aunt……"

Wen Xueqing had never seen such a determined Princess Lekang.

When the fifth brother insisted on going to Luoyang Taixue, his aunt disagreed.

The imperial court stipulated that the Tai students who passed the examination could become officials by worshiping doctors.Most of the Tai students came from mid-level families, so they could only be regarded as local tyrants.For a well-known family like the Wen family, Wen Wulang can definitely obtain Zhongzheng Gaopin by virtue of his family status, and directly enter the official position without having to study hard for exams.

But Wen Wulang insisted that he had always been intelligent, talented and came from a family. As the only son of Princess Lekang, he went to Luoyang.

Wen Goro is very confident.

"Does mother want her son to hide in Linzhou and live under the Wen family's wing for the rest of his life?"

On the day Wen Wulang left, she bid farewell to Princess Lekang. She spoke in a hoarse voice with a cold face, and she must insist on self-discipline and self-examination to stand out.

At that time, Princess Lekang was also like this.
