auspicious time has come

Chapter 10

Heng Yu became more and more curious.

The young and good-looking man...

"In the beginning, it was because they blocked each other, or they had some relationship with Mrs. Su's family, but Mrs. Su didn't seem to know at the moment—" She speculated: "The other party didn't stop him later, maybe they saw the clues, so they went Turn around and check Cao Guanting?"

After all, Cao Guanting was lying on both sides, and the Su family didn't know about it before, so it's a normal reaction to make people stop.

But what this lord did later made people couldn't help but look at him even more highly.

In this way, this gentleman is not only young and good-looking, but also extremely sensible.

There was a hint of a smile in Hengyu's eyes.

Although you have never met, and you don't know who the other party is, it is always a pleasure to deal with sensible and intelligent people.

Ji Nanxian agreed with his sister's speculation: "It should be so."

The family didn't delve into the matter any further, but Mrs. Meng took them to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

Hengyu was holding a little girl in a pink skirt with round cheeks in her hand. This was her elder brother's sister-in-law's child, Ah Shu, who had just turned three years old.

By the way, her sister-in-law is now pregnant with another child, and the month is too young to show it - but being pregnant doesn't delay the sister-in-law rolling up her sleeves.

Hengyu and the others knelt and kowtowed towards the memorial tablet.

Ji Nanxian held the imperial decree of promotion high in his hands: "Grandson will never forget the teachings of his grandfather, and in the future he will try his best to assist His Royal Highness, protect the country, benefit the people, and open the way of peace."

Heng Yu knelt there, looking at her grandfather's memorial tablet, her eyes were moist.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ji Nanxian took two steps back and said, "Xiao Yuer, follow me to the study to talk."

"Brother, is there something important?"

In the outer study room, only two brothers and sisters are sitting opposite each other.

Ji Nanxian looked at his younger sister with seriousness in his eyes: "Ah Heng—"

Heng Yu was startled.

Brother called her Ah Heng instead of Xiao Yuer, there are only two situations.

When she was a child, every time she heard her brother call her Ah Heng, she knew that she had made a mistake again.

When he was older, his elder brother would also call Ah Heng when he encountered urgent and serious matters.

Looking at it now, it looks like the latter.

really--

"There is a clue about the tattoo pattern." Ji Nanxian said in a low voice.

Heng Yu's whole body tensed up, her eyes changed dramatically.

eight years...

Finally got a clue!

Eight years was really too long, but it didn't wear away her determination to find out about A Weng's death.

She knew that when Ah Weng was desperately protecting each other, the phrase "Only by living can he avenge Ah Weng" was just a way to motivate her to survive, but in her heart, this was something she would never give up on.

Fortunately, her brother, sister-in-law and grandmother have always believed in her, relying on only one pattern she drew, they secretly tracked her down like a needle in a haystack for four full years.

"Brother, where is the clue?" She asked hastily.

"Yingzhou—"

Camp Chau?

Hengyu frowned slightly.

Northland.

That was where the fiefdom was before King Jin rebelled, and the person who sits in it now is Xiao Mu, the well-known Marquis of Dingbei...

Inside the gauze lamp of the lady picture, the candlelight flickered and danced for a moment.

……

In the days after seeing off Su Lianniang, Heng Yu, who went in and out of various mansions with Jiang's matchmaker, was a little busy.

Heng Yu was quite surprised to hear that today he was going to the Jiang Mansion to take a portrait of a girl from the Jiang family.

There is only one girl in the Jiang family named Jiang Xuexi, and her father, Jiang Zhengfu, is now serving as the Minister of Zhongshu, the head of the Zhongshu Province, the same as the former prime minister——

However, Miss Jiang has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she is already over the double tenth year, so the matter of marriage is still delayed.

This is the first time for her to enter Jiang's residence, and it is also the first time for her to see this Jiang family girl.

The beginning of September arrived, and it rained today, which added two points of coolness.Hengyu carried the painting box and wore a red embroidered white crane cloak, and was invited into the courtyard of Miss Jiang's family together with Jiang's matchmaker.

After being introduced by the woman in charge of Jiang's residence, Hengyu took off her cloak and sat down behind the painting table.

Jiang Xuexi was sitting in a comb-back chair, looking at the girl who painted her portrait—a slim girl with a double bun, a slender wrist holding a pen, a jade neck, a light green underskirt and an apricot-colored thin shirt, with looped arms, The face is full of seriousness at this moment.

"Miss Ji is so beautiful, she deserves to be recognized as the number one beauty in the 54th Lane in the east and west cities of the capital." Jiang Xuexi said with a smile, her voice was weak and slow after a long illness.

Hengyu paused slightly, then smiled.

I have to say that it is really easy for girls to get closer.

Who doesn't like to be praised.

"That's because the person who misinformed has never seen the world, and it's also because Miss Jiang doesn't go out so easily. If the world sees Miss Jiang, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital will have nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xuexi covered her mouth and smiled.

The little girl looks sweet and has a sweet mouth.

But she still thinks in her heart that she is absolutely incomparable, because Miss Ji is not only good-looking.

From what I saw right now, the girl smelled like a book, and her demeanor was elegant and informal.

According to the rumors, this little lady returned home after wandering abroad for several years, played cuju, played polo and pitched pots, and raised children and sons-in-law... Cough, this is just a rumor, of course, even if it is true, it will make her admire and envy her more and more The presence--

All in all, this lady Ji, who is the first and only official female painter in Dasheng, can be described as "no taboos".

Others pointed and pointed, and a lot of ugly words came to her ears, but she only had one thought - such a girl is too chic.

If possible, she really wanted to live like this.

Live as you want.

I don't know what came to mind, Jiang Xuexi's eyes darkened slightly, and said softly: "I have been ill all year round, and the description is inevitably decadent. I can draw what I should look like, Miss Ji doesn't have to bother with the pen."

"No way! Even though Miss Jiang is not wearing makeup, she is unparalleled in beauty, graceful and moving!" Jiang matchmaker praised with a smile.

The smile on Jiang Xuexi's lips was weak and faint.

Looking at each other, Hengyu smiled knowingly, and said: "Miss Jiang, don't worry."

Jiang Xuexi nodded lightly with a smile: "Thank you."

After finishing the painting, Heng Yu hugged the scroll and left the residence of Miss Jiang's family together with Jiang Meiguan.

"My lord, those two people should be from the official media yamen, and they came here to paint the portrait of the girl..."

Beside the small path leading to the corridor in the front yard, the steward saw his master looking at the two figures, and said respectfully.

"Is that Mr.'s granddaughter?" Jiang Zhengfu looked at the girl's back, and no specific emotion could be seen in his clean and restrained eyes.

gentlemen?

You mean Mr. Haruhan, right?
The manager came to his senses and quickly replied, "Exactly."

Jiang Zhengfu didn't say any more, and stood quietly for a while before leaving.

The steward sighed inwardly.

I hope that the one who will be selected in the end will not be my own girl, not to mention that the adults regard the girl like an eyeball, but only that the husband had an accident in Yingzhou three years ago... With these entanglements, the master may be the one Resistance is also possible.

Jiang Zhengfu didn't know if he was also thinking about this matter, a chill suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he went out to the study.

Not long after, a snow-white carrier pigeon was released from the study window by a pair of big hands and flew north.

"Aunt Jiang, I wonder which family the Jiang family wants to negotiate with?" Heng Yu asked casually in the carriage.

Miss Jiang didn't seem too keen on the matter.

Jiang Meiguan took the picture scroll from her hand and put it into a sandalwood box on one side, which was full of picture scrolls: "It's not only the Jiang family, but also the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War that I went to yesterday...and the one from Cui Shilang's family the day before yesterday. The portraits of the two daughters are all here."

Hengyu was stunned.

In other words, these portraits are actually going to the same place?

"Could it be that... the saint wants to choose a concubine?"

Although she hadn't heard any rumors before, she could not think of other possibilities for a girl from such a family to choose from.

"Why have you been so out of your mind these past few days... What kind of concubine did you choose? Isn't it because of that hot oracle!"

"Sacred edict?"
