Seeing Princess Yating, Princess Cheng and Li Miaoran, Chen Danxia realized that this was not an ordinary poetry club, but a poetry competition. Princess Yating and Princess Yating were the judges of this poetry meeting. After all, the girls wrote lyrics, and they were unfair to comment on each other. Chen Danxia never thought of becoming famous for his talent, and today the lyrics came from plagiarism and was even less concerned about the judgment results. He sat on the side of the railing with Yan Suxin, chatting while feeding koi. Jiang Shuiling brought a plate of red cherries for the two of them to eat.

After waiting for about half an hour, the lyrics were judged. Not much surprise, Princess Duanhe, known as the talented woman in Jindu, won the Tanhua. Li Yunqian, a girl from Dingbian Marquis' Mansion who had just returned to Jindu, won the second place, and the top scorer was won by Deng Ran, a third girl from Duke Jing, the four talented woman in Jindu.

I learned from Yan Suxin that Li Yunqian was Li Miaoran's cousin and had been living on the frontier with his parents and brothers. He was fourteen years old this year and returned to Jindu in mid-February. Chen Danxia instantly understood the real purpose of this poetry meeting; Li Miaoran wanted to use such a gathering to make Li Yunqian famous in Jindu. This matter has nothing to do with him, so it would be fine if Chen Danxia had heard of it. When the poetry competition ended, he would chat and laugh with Yan Suxin Jiang Shuiling, walking around the garden to enjoy the flowers.

After lunch, Duanhe Princess asked the maid to bring more than a dozen kites of various types and asked the girls to write inscriptions and drawing pictures on the kites. Yan Suxin picked a big red bat and wrote auspicious words on it; Jiang Shuiling picked a crab and drew a bunch of orchids on it; Chen Danxia picked a butterfly style and wrote a poem, "The good wind relies on its power to send you to the sky."

But for some reason, other people's kites floated into the air, but only the butterfly in Chen Danxia's hand could not be released. Chen Danxia looked at the butterfly in his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, this butterfly does not have a lofty ideal and does not want to fly into the blue sky, so let it stay on the ground."

Yan Suxin heard her interesting words and burst into laughter, saying, "Sister Nine, this thread is not good and can't be put up. Let them take it down and get it. You should pick another kite to fly it."

Rushi Chen Danxia handed the kite to the maid of the royal palace and took another geese style, but she still couldn't put it on. Chen Danxia touched her forehead, "The beasts are all going to the sky, and the birds can't fly up. What's going on?"

"Chen Jiu, you're so lucky. One is bad, and the second one is bad. Okay, let's stop flying kites, go play cards, how about it?" Jiang Shuiling pulled her crab over and suggested with a smile.

"Go and go, go there." Chen Danxiaheng glanced at her, "Who is you? You just want to win my money."

Jiang Shuiling laughed.

Chen Danxia put the geese back to its original place. She bullied this kite, so she would not let it go. It would be fine.

There is a small octagonal pavilion on the rockery in the garden. Princess Cheng, Princess Yating and Li Miaoran are sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea leisurely while looking down at the performance of the girls in the garden.

"Which girl is that? She is clumsy and can't even put a kite on it." Li Miaoran asked with a frown.

Princess Cheng narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems that Chen Danxia, ​​the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Chen Muke."

"The family is okay, it's this age, it seems a little younger." Princess Yating put down the teacup and said.

"It will be suitable in two or three years." Princess Cheng saw Chen Danxia and Yan Suxin getting closer, and she was angry with the house.

"The noble concubine is so unbearable." Princess Yating raised her hand and held the Fengchai on her bun and said.

Princess Cheng's eyes flashed. Gao Zhengen, the son of the deposed King of Rui, was only thirteen years old and was less than the age to marry. The one who could make the terminally ill Gui Taiwei worry about the marriage should be Lu Ming, the fourth son of the former Weiyuan Marquis. When the palace was in the change, Lu Ming was still a five-year-old boy who was learning to speak. The Gui Taiwei abandoned the position of Empress Dowager and wanted to go online to the Internet, leaving Lu Ming and his two concubines Lu Xia and Lu Qiu, who were still in their infancy.

"The girl who put the crabs was Jiang Shuiling, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Jiang Chongrui. She is fourteen years old this year and is suitable for her family and age." Princess Cheng strongly recommended it.

Princess Yating picked up Qianliyan, looked carefully, and smiled and said, "He looks round and moist, quite likable."

"Then she?" Li Miaoran asked.

"It's her." Princess Yating decided.

Jiang Shuiling in the garden cut off the kite string with scissors. He looked at the kite floating away and laughed heartlessly. He was completely unaware that her marriage had been given. The girls were tired of flying kites, ate snacks, drank tea, rested for a while, and said goodbye to her home.

In the evening, Princess Cheng wrote a letter with medicine for this matter. After the water was dry, she ordered her confidant to send the seemingly blank letter to the Peach Red Willow Green Rouge Shop. The shopkeeper secretly sent the letter to Prince Anping's mansion. After reading the letter, Gao Jing's face, which had been gloomy for many days, showed a satisfied smile.

The next day, Chen Meiwei suddenly visited Shen’s house. When Tao heard the notice, he thought he had heard it wrong, “Who did you say come?”

"Mrs. Fourth Aunt is here." said the maid.

"How could she come? It's no good for a wild cat to enter the house." Dow mocked.

That being said, but the person has come and cannot drive her out. After all, she has not broken up. Tao went to the front hall to see Chen Peimei. When Tao entered the hall, Chen Peimei did not stand up. She looked down on the third sister-in-law who was born in a businessman as always. Tao did not care much about her rudeness to her. She sat down calmly in the main seat. After the maid brought the tea and retreated, she asked straight to the point: "Mrs. Xu is here today, what's the point?" Chen Peimei didn't treat her as her sister-in-law, and she didn't need to treat Chen Peimei as her sister-in-law.

"I remember Dan is about to go to the end of the year. Do you think of her marriage?" asked Chen Gong.

Dow's eyes turned slightly, "There is already a family."

Chen Gun frowned, "Has he settled?"

"Not yet." Dow didn't want to lie.

Chen Meigu took a sip of tea and said, "Then there is no need to find someone to talk to you. I have a good marriage that suits her."

A surprise flashed in Tao's eyes. The cooked ducks flew into the sky? Obviously, it was impossible for the cooked ducks to fly into the sky. Tao immediately guessed that something must be strange in this marriage and asked, "I wonder which family Mrs. Xu is talking about?"

"How about my Xu Lang, how about this marriage? Is this marriage good enough?" Chen Meigu said with her eyes rolled over. Yesterday, she went to the second room. Because Chen Meigu had brainwashed Zhou so successfully over the years, even if Chen Danwei retired from marriage once, Zhou looked down on Xu Lang and refused to agree with Chen Meigu's proposal and refused to marry. Chen Meigu thought about it and put her ideas on Chen Danhui.

Tao put the teacup heavily on the table, and his face was as deep as water, angrily shouted: "Goddess Chen, you are really a stepmother who is extremely vicious. Not to mention that Xu Kui is now a second-rank official, just because Lang Ge'er is Xu Kui's original wife and legitimate son, his wife should be the legitimate daughter. How dare you match her with a concubine? Shen Pei'er, if you act like Lang Ge'er, you will not die a good death!"

Chen Meng didn't expect that Tao would defend Xu Lang so much, and he was stunned for Xu Lang to speak evilly.

Tao stared at her angrily and said, "Girl Chen, you must dare to arrange Lang Ge'er's marriage randomly. I will reveal your ugly face. I will ruin your reputation. I will make your two sons unable to marry a good wife and Xu Wen cannot get married."

"You dare!" said the Shen Gu's face, fierce and weak.

"I don't dare to do anything, Shen Gu, if you dare to do the first day of the lunar calendar, I dare to do the fifteenth." Tao slapped the table and stood up.

Chen Pei looked at her, and was frightened by the strong anger and murderous intent in her eyes. He shrank back for a while. Realizing that what Tao said was not false, he left in shame. Tao was afraid that she would continue to make trouble, so he asked Zhaocai to find a way to reveal what Chen Pei Pei did to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she used a crutch to break the heads of Xu Kui and Shen Meiren, and scolded them, "No wonder people say, 'If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather'. Xu Kui, you are a bastard, you want to spoil this bitch. Even if you spoil it, you can't do it. Lang Ge'er's marriage, you don't need to worry about it. I will choose a good wife who will do what he wants and what he wants. Get out of here, get out of here."

Xu Kui, who was beaten with a few crutches by his mother and scolded, complained to Chen Pei, "I said I should not care about that rebellious son. You don't believe it. Now, I will be fine? From now on, I will pretend that I have not given this rebellious son and don't have to care about him anymore. Do you know?"

"I understand, I won't care about him anymore." Chen Gun touched the bag on his head and said in fear.

Xu Kui shook his hand to the Tongfang.

When Shen Meimei asked her maid to bandage the wound on her head, Xu Wen walked in, sat down aside, and said, "Mother, you're doing this badly."

"I don't need you to teach you a lesson." Shen Gun said angrily.

"Mother, I'm not trying to teach you a lesson. I want to say, is there no one other person except the Shen family? If you just found a merchant or a small official's house, the marriage would have been decided long ago, so how could it be like now? Even if my grandmother found out afterwards, she couldn't change it. But you, the matter was not done well, and she was beaten and scolded by her grandmother." Xu Wen sneered.

Chen Meigu looked at Xu Wen with an incredible look in her eyes. Obviously, she didn't expect Xu Wen to say such words. Xu Wen lowered her head and tidied up her sleeves, and said, "But it's too late to say anything now. Mother, please wait. Maybe there will be a chance in one or two years." With Mrs. Xu staring at her, Chen Meigu didn't dare to tamper with Xu Lang's marriage anymore.

Xu Lang's marriage crisis was temporarily resolved without him knowing it. On that day, Chen Danxia was bored and greedy, and made more than a dozen eggs, sent a few to the Tao, and took a few to the Chouyuan. He accidentally heard the conversation between Cheng Jue and Shen Bomi. He knew the news of Xu Lang's disappearance, so he hurriedly walked in and asked: "Brother Cheng, how long has Brother Lang been missing?"

"Sister." Shen Bomi shouted.

Chen Danxia had no mind to know him and looked at Cheng Jue nervously, "Brother Cheng, tell me how many days has Brother Lang been missing?"

Cheng Jue sighed and said, "Xu Lang disappeared on February 22, and it has been nineteen days since then."

"Nineteen days..." Chen Danxia shook his body. What does it mean after being missing for so long? Chen Danxia dared not think about it carefully, "Why did he disappear?"

Cheng Jue said slowly: "Since the tenth day of the second month, there has been heavy rain along the Yuan River. Wuling City is in a low terrain and water is broken. Xu Lang is worried that the river embankment will collapse due to floods. He and local officials patrol the river embankment day and night. On the evening of the 22nd, due to the discharge of a large amount of water from the upstream, the river embankment broke. Xu Lang led the way, carrying sandbags to block the gap, and waited for the gap to be blocked, and counted the number of people who beat the drum. Then Xu Lang disappeared."

Xu Lang is gone!

Disappeared, missing.

Chen Danxia took a deep breath and asked, "Didn't the local officers and soldiers search and rescue?"

Cheng Jue frowned and said, "It was too late at that time, the water was rushing, and it was inconvenient to search and rescue. However, Xu Lang was an official of the court, so the next day, the Wuling Prefect organized people to search for him along the river bank. After searching for him for three days, nothing was found. The Wuling Prefect had to report this matter to the court, and I just learned about it."

"What are the court planning to do?" Chen Danxia asked.

Cheng Jue looked at Chen Danxia and hesitated.

"Brother Cheng, can't you tell me about this?" Chen Danxia's eyes were filled with tears and he looked at it begging.

Cheng Jue looked at her, looked at the tears in her eyes, and felt aching in her heart. He said with difficulty: "He was not sent by the court." Xu Lang was sent by Gao Jue. Gao Ju is still just a bald prince. He has not learned to deal with political affairs in the court, so he has no way to put this matter openly.

"So the court doesn't care about his life or death, right?" Chen Danxia held his hands tightly together, showing anger.

"Sister, don't worry, Lang Ge is lucky, there will be no trouble." Although Shen Bomi felt that Chen Danxia cared too much about Xu Lang, he still spoke to comfort her.

"Brother, Brother Lang has been missing for 19 days, not 19 hours. If he were safe and sound, he would have appeared long ago. He would not have been like now, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown." The tears in Chen Danxia's eyes fell.

"Sister, you and Lang Ge'er..." Shen Bomi couldn't ask, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Chen Danxia admitted frankly: "I am in love with him."

Cheng Jue closed his eyes, afraid that Chen Danxia would see the sadness in his eyes. When he saw the two holding hands, he knew that they were together. At that time, the sharp blade had entered his chest and his heart was broken. Now Shen Danxia confirmed in person that it was like pulling out the sharp blade that pierced into his chest, with blood, and severe pain came, making him an empty shell in an instant, as if his heart stopped beating.

"I want to find him." Chen Danxia said firmly. Xu Lang cannot disappear so unknownly. He must live to see people and die to see corpses!

Cheng Jue opened his eyes and said, "You can't go, it's still raining heavily there, and the river will flood at any time, which is too dangerous."

"Sister, don't even think about this, let alone you go, it's useless." Shen Bomi said seriously.

"I have money, I can hire someone to find him. I can't find him in one day, search for two days, search for two days, search for three days, search for three days, I can definitely find him." Chen Danxia said anxiously.

"I'll go." Cheng Jue stared at Chen Danxia, ​​with a hint of bitterness in his deep eyes, "I'll go to Wuling and help you find him."
