The day after returning from the mountain, the King of Jin sold official positions and titles was investigated. The prince of Jin illegally enclosed land and killed people with his power. The emperor was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had only been ten years after he ascended the throne, and two royal princes committed such illegal and disorderly discipline and damage to the court. Do these bastards want him to become a fool?

hateful!

Too hateful!

As an emperor who wanted to become a wise lord, he had no tolerance for this matter and angrily smashed the memorial in his hand on the head of the King of Jin who was kneeling in the hall, saying that he must be severely punished, and it would be useless for anyone to plead. Empress Zhao and Gao Ju did not intend to plead with mercy before, so they dared not say much more. As for the Supreme Emperor, he was addicted to beauty and was not only concerned about political affairs.

Also in a state of anger, Gao Yan was also half-piercing. The King of Jin's Mansion and the officials who seemed to be dependent on the King of Jin's Mansion were all helped by him for several years before he was attracted to him. Now they are gone. Two days later, except for the youngest son of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, who was still in his infancy, survived, and the other men were pushed out of the Meridian Gate and killed. The ground was dyed bright red by blood. In one night, everyone was in danger and uneasy. No one dared to stand up and plead for the King of Jin.

Although the emperor was furious, he did not completely lose his mind. The affairs of the King of Jin's mansion did not implicate the married daughters of the King of Jin's mansion. The emperor stated in his will that they had nothing to do with the guilt of the King of Jin's mansion. Mrs. Xu's heart was put into practice.

King Jin and the officials who depended on him, after this fall, many positions were empty in the court, which was an opportunity for some people. For example, Shen Muke was promoted from a fourth-rank official to a third-rank official, and became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Cheng Yu and Cheng Jue were also promoted to half a grade. Cheng Jue was a Hanlin clerk and a fifth-rank attendant, and Cheng Yu was a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Works.

Shen Muke became a third-rank official, and Shen's mother was overjoyed. Despite her old age and physical weakness, she came to the third room in a sedan chair. Although Tao was tired of this mother-in-law, she did not reveal it too much on the surface and led her daughters to accompany her to watch.

Shen's mother walked to the third four-in-one courtyard, and the eyes she showed shocked Tao. She couldn't have wanted to move here, right? Fortunately, Shen's mother did not make this request in front of Tao, and Tao only did not know.

Shen Shizheng, Shen's mother returned to the old house reluctantly. Shen Danxia saw Tao's long sigh and said with a smile: "Mom, you are too worried. The old lady is confused, but the eldest lady is not confused. If the eldest master still wants to be an official, it is impossible for the old lady to move to us."

"I was crazy for a moment." Tao smiled and took the sign with the invitation list, "Help me see if there is any missing person."

Shen Danxia took the sign over, one by one, one by one.

Shen Muke was promoted, and the status of the Shen family was also improved accordingly. Shen Danxia received several invitations. What surprised her was that one was an invitation from Duan of the Prince Cheng's Mansion and Princess to open a poetry club. Jindu City not only officials, nobles, but also families were divided into several circles due to different political views or interest relations. Their children were also deeply affected and divided into various circles.

The daughter's family was not married to her father, and Shen Danxia belonged to the circle of officials because of Shen Muke's relationship. And because the Shen family has been in Jindu for some years, it is considered a small family, and occasionally receives invitations from the family; the daughter's family is married to her husband, and Shen Danyao belongs to the circle of nobles because of Yunyang Marquis' Mansion; Princess Duanhe belongs to the circle of royal families and has no contact with Shen Danxia. Shen Danxia wonders why Princess Duanhe sent her invitations? Even if Shen Muke was promoted, she is still an official girl and cannot enter the circle of royal families. Of course, if she is famous, it is reasonable to receive this invitation, but she has never shown her "talented" side.

Chen Danxia showed a look of distress when she took the invitation, or did she not go? Shen Bomi didn't want Chen Danxia to go. He was worried that Gao Yang would make the mistake in it. However, his concern was unnecessary. Gao Yang was busy with the matter of the King of Jin's mansion recently and had no time to pay attention to him and Shen Danxia.

Tao was not very willing to go to this banquet, for fear that others would bully her; Chen Muke was only a third-rank official, and seemed to have a high position and power, but it was not enough to be seen in front of the royal relatives; but after Miao learned about it, she advised her: "It's better to let Xiao Jiuer have a long experience, Xiao Jiuer is not the kind of soft and bullied person. If you lock Xiao Jiuer at home all day, you are not afraid of locking Xiao Jiuer up. Xiao Jiuer is not as obedient as an eleven or twelve-year-old girl."

When Tao was persuaded by her, she thought that her daughter was indeed too quiet. Except for occasionally going to the Cheng family, she almost never went out. She felt panicked. Did she really raise her daughter? Tao replied to Princess Duanhe and said that Chen Danxia would come to the appointment that day.

"But mom, I can't write poetry." Chen Danxia said distressedly.

"Silly girl, let your elder brother write some for you. If you remember it carefully, you will be able to write it out dictatedly at that time." Tao said with a smile.

Chen Danxia was shocked. Is this okay? Well, it’s better to use his brother’s poems to count than to plagiarize other people’s poems, and Chen Danxia convinced himself.

Just as Shen Danxia was preparing to go to Chengwang Mansion, something happened to Li Xian. The day before yesterday she went to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha, and fell into the release pool with a man. In spring, the water in the pool was cold and cold, and Li Xian was a girl who was raised in the boudoir. She didn't know how to water, so she rescued her. But in this way, everyone next to the release pool saw Li Xian being held tightly in the man's arms, and Li Xian's reputation was ruined.

After Chen Danxia learned about this, he immediately rushed to the Li family to visit Li Xian. Looking at Li Xian with red and swollen eyes and sick face, Chen Danxia's words of comfort came to his mouth, but he couldn't say that getting married was like a second reincarnation. It was not well-married and ruined a lifetime. After a day of crying, Li Xian had accepted his fate. Looking at Chen Danxia, ​​he pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm fine. A man should marry him as a big man, and a woman should marry him. After all, there was such a thing, let alone he saved my life. It's natural to marry him."

"Xian'er, he did not escape alone, but instead rescued you. It can be seen that he is not as unbearable as the rumors outside." Li Xian's marriage was a foregone conclusion, and Chen Danxia could only say the best.

Li Xian's dim eyes regained a little bit of spirit. Maybe he was really not a bad person, and this marriage might not be that bad. Chen Danxia accompanied Li Xian for a while and saw Li Xian gradually letting go, and she showed her tiredness. She called her maid in to wait for her to rest in bed, so she left with peace of mind. The mule cart left the Li family gate. It was already early in the afternoon. Chen Danxia did not go home, but turned to Taotie Hall for lunch. Chen Danxia had been coveting the eight-treasure duck in Taotie Hall for a long time. Since he went out today, he simply went to satisfy his cravings.

At the entrance of Taotie Pavilion, I met Jiang Shuiling and a girl of similar age as her. "Cousin, this is my friend Chen Danxia; Chen Jiu, this is my cousin Shao Zhiting."

Chen Danxia and Shao Zhiting met each other, and the three of them went to Taotie Hall for lunch together. The Taotie Hall business was booming. The second and third floors were full of private rooms. The three of them asked for a table in the lobby on the first floor. They ordered tea and pastries and several signature dishes of Taotie Hall. The three of them chatted casually, not knowing how they talked about the poetry club of Duanhe County. Jiang Shuiling said distressedly: "They knew that I don't like writing poetry and lyrics, but they were just going to come and ask me for a post. It's really annoying."

"I'm just bothered by this matter," Chen Danxia frowned.

"You have received the invitation too?" Jiang Shuiling smiled and tapped her palm twice, "It's great. I won't be bored if you accompany me."

Chen Danxia laughed and spat at her. At this time, Chang Qingyou entered the Taotie Pavilion with the pipa. From yesterday, the shopkeeper agreed to her singing here. A guy brought a chair for Chang Qingyou to sit down. Chang Qingyou thanked the guy, and the guy waved his hand with a red face and walked away.

Chang Qingyou sat down on the chair, adjusted the strings, and sang: "The red and soft green are everywhere, and the spring is passing by. The curtains are letting the flowers hang around. Every day, the fairy Yue E comes to the Yaochi Banquet. The dark curtains are full of flowers, and I am very encouraged to drink all the golden cups..."

As soon as Chang Qingyou opened his mouth, Chen Danxia could hear her voice, but he didn't care. Chang Qingyou is a singer, and it is normal for her to sing here. After Chang Qingyou finished singing the three songs, he took the porcelain bowl and asked everyone for rewards. When he walked to Chen Danxia's table, Chang Qingyou's eyes lit up and he happily called out: "Miss Chen."

Chen Danxia turned her eyes to look at her, smiled slightly, and took out a silver bean to reward her. Chang Qingyou asked, "Miss Chen, Mr. Chen hasn't come to see me for several days. I wonder if his injuries are better?" Shen Baiyu was secretly locked up at home by Shen Bai and couldn't leave. Chang Qingyou waited in the courtyard for a few days, but he didn't wait for anyone. He was worried about squandering the whole country and was afraid of losing Shen Baiyu. If she returned to her old career, she was lucky and met Chen Danxia the next day.

Chen Danxia was shocked. She really didn't know that after the Lantern Festival, Shen Baiyu and Chang Qingyou were still in contact. Perhaps because of the wrong aura, Chen Danxia didn't like her very much when she saw Chang Qingyou for the first time. When she heard that she seemed to be typing Shen Baiyu, she immediately said, "This girl, you are afraid you have admitted your mistake."

Chang Qingyou was stunned and thought Chen Danxia was young and could not remember it clearly. He hurriedly said, "Miss Chen, I am Chang Qingyou, on the second day of the second day of the lunar month..."

"Miss Chang, right? I don't know why you know my surname is Chen? But I really don't know you. I'll give you this silver bean. Can you walk away and don't disturb me for dinner here?" Chen Danxia frowned slightly, and made up his mind to pretend that he didn't know Chang Qingyou. As for the matter between her and Shen Baiyu, I'll ask Shen Baiyu before I go back.

"What's going on in Taotie Hall? Everyone is put in?" Jiang Shuiling asked unhappily.

"Miss Chen, I have no other intentions. It's just that Mr. Chen is injured because I want to see Mr. Chen. I want to know that Mr. Chen's injury has healed? Ms. Chen, I beg you, let me meet Mr. Chen!" Chang Qingyou didn't dare to go to the Shen family. He finally met Chen Danxia outside, so he was willing to miss this opportunity and beg him.

Chen Danxia's eyes were slightly slight and she said, "Mo Si, send this girl Chang out." Seeing that Chang Qingyou was pestering and unwilling to leave, Chen Dan knew that if he climbed on, things would become out of control. He immediately made a decision and asked Mo Si to take his ancestors away.

"Yes." Mo Shi understood, took the order and stepped forward, reached out to put his hand on Chang Qingyou's shoulder, "Please, Miss Chang."

Chang Qingyou didn't want to leave, but the pain on her shoulder made her unable to even speak. She couldn't help but be taken out of the Taotie Hall by Mo Si. When he got outside, Mo Si slashed her out with a palm, threw her into a mule cart, and let the driver watch.

Chen Danxia and Jiang Shuiling and Shao Zhiting after lunch, politely rejected the invitation of Jiang Shuiling to go shopping together, and invited Shao Zhiting to come to her house to play when she had time, so she got on the mule cart. Looking at Chang Qingyou who was still in a coma, she curled her lips and sneered, poured the remaining half cup of herbal tea on her face, and woke her up.

Chang Qingyou slowly opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, then realized what situation he was in. He sat up quickly, held his chest with his hands, and asked in horror: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Danxia saw her defensive actions and felt funny. She was not a man and had no lily tendency. She snorted coldly and said, "What should you ask you about this?"

"I want to see Mr. Chen." Chang Qingyou looked at Chen Danxia and said.

"What then?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

Chang Qingyou lowered his head and stopped talking.

Chen Danxia sneered, stretched out his finger to lift her chin, and said, "Why don't you answer my question?"

Chang Qingyou lowered his eyelids and did not dare to look at Chen Danxia.

"Do you want to be with my brother?" Chen Danxia asked. I don't know what the situation was between Chang Qingyou and Shen Baiyu. Chen Danxia didn't want to "break up the couple". Although she didn't like Chang Qingyou, she would not be the leader for Shen Baiyu.

Chang Qingyou swallowed his saliva, looked up at Chen Danxia, ​​and said, "Bai Yu and I are in love, you can't stop us from meeting."

Chen Danxia withdrew his fingers, his eyes fluttered, and he deceived her: "You lie, my brother won't like people like you."

Chang Qingyou said anxiously: "I didn't lie. I said it was true. Baiyu rented a small yard for me in Guihua Lane. He said that when I was filial, he would tell Lingzun Lingtang about our affairs. He said he would marry me."

With one side of the word, Chen Danxia was difficult to distinguish the authenticity, so she gave Mo Si a wink; Mo Si understood and knocked Chang Qingyou out again. Chen Danxia pinched his eyebrows in distress and said, "Don't let me find a place to settle her." After she confirmed what Chang Qingyou said, she decided what to do.

"Yes." Mo Shi helped Chang Qingyou out of the mule cart.

Chen Danxia returned home and went to Ruoshuiyuan to meet Tao first, "Mom, I'm back."

"I'm back, Sister Xian is okay?" asked Tao.

"I cried so hard that my eyes were swollen, and I was still sick with cold. It was not very good." Chen Danxia said in a depressed manner.

"It's such a sin." Tao sighed. It was too disgusting to be forced to have such a marriage. Tao once again warned Chen Danxia about Li Xian, asking her to stay away from the water in the future.

Chen Danxia obediently listened to the teachings and promised Tao that he would never step near the water in the future before stopping Tao's words, "Mom, my brother has written a poem for me. I haven't memorized it yet, so I'll go back to my room first."

Chen Dan left Ruoshuiyuan and did not return to his own Zhiyuan, but went to the Houdeyuan in Shen Baiyu.
