Chapter 18: 18

Chapter 018 Companion Reading

On this day, when the two of them went back, the people at the lantern festival were almost shattered.
Yan Lin led the horse and helped her up.
Go as you come.
It's just that he no longer gallops on his horse, but instead trusts the horse and sits on the horse with her, wishing that the road back to Jiang's mansion was a little longer, and a little longer, until the end of the world.

　　At this time, the young man was full of sincerity, and the beloved girl sat on his horse, snuggled in his arms, and couldn't think of anything at the moment.
The violent heartbeat had taken over all of his minds.
He was so looking forward to the days to come that he didn't notice the different silence of the man sitting in front of him.

　　The wind is slightly cold.
Jiang Xuening could feel the scalding heat coming from the chest behind him.
It's just that she looked at the more and more familiar road back to Jiang's house, but her heart became more and more confused: If she is the age of a girl at this moment, and she has faded away from the paranoia and ignorance of the previous life when she encounters such a teenager who went through fire and water for her, She should be rejoicing, shy, excited, and moved by his sword, his eyes, his tightly clasping her palm, and the wooden hibiscus thrown from the high wall.
But she is no longer.

　　It was late at night when they arrived at the gate of Jiang's residence.
Yan Lin helped her get off the horse again, and told her with a smile, "You can get a good night's sleep when you go back tonight."
After that, she got on the horse again.
But when he turned his head and saw her still standing at the door looking at him, he said, "Go back to the manor, I'll watch you."

　　Jiang Xuening looked back at him quietly and asked him, "Yan Lin, you always dote on me and protect me like this, have you ever thought about what it would be like if I didn't have you one day? , what should I do?"
Yan Lin was startled.
He felt that she was a little sad today, and only said: "It's unfounded, how can you not have me? I will always be by your side."

　　Jiang Xuening felt heartache for a while, and even looked at him again and felt uncomfortable, so he smiled softly: "Yes. Then I'll go back."
Yan Lin nodded.
So she turned around and walked into the side door of Jiang's residence that was still open for her.

　　Yan Lin was sitting long on the horse, holding the reins, watching her figure gradually disappear, but a moment of confusion filled her heart.

　　*

　　Many people in Jiang's residence did not sleep and were waiting for her to come back.
In the daytime, the news of an assassin in the capital had long since spread. When Jiang Boyu heard that Jiang Xuening was actually present at the time, and happened to be held hostage by the assassin, his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, everyone said she was fine.
It's just that this little girl was kidnapped by Yan Lin to go to the lantern festival later, which was really annoying.

　　Jiang Boyu made a plan in his heart. When Jiang Xuening came back, he had to give her good training.
But when I saw her come back, the expression on her face was really not good.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed for this girl: the assassination of this thing is either against the party of King Pingnan or the chaos of the party, and it is not the fault of Ning girl. , that's too much.

　　So before he spoke, his heart softened, and he only said to her in a warm voice: "It's been quite uneasy in Beijing these days. I heard that Jin Yiwei has arrested a lot of rebels who are rebelling against the party. Today, not only Xie Ju'an was attacked alone. And Although Yan Lin is better, I can rest assured of him, but no one knows what will happen to him. Let's go out less during this time, wait for peace, and then you can go out again."
He thought Jiang Xuening had to refute a few words.
But I didn't expect that this time she actually lowered her eyebrows and answered, and said, "Okay."

　　For more than ten consecutive days, she really did not go out again.
Only on the second day after the attack did she send someone to Xiejie Hutong and ask Zhou Yinzhi to bring a post to Yanlin.
She didn't ask about anything after that.
Within two days, Yan Lin followed his father Yong Yi Hou to inspect the Fengtai and Tongzhou camps, and only returned on September 21st.

　　It was also this morning that there was news from the palace that Princess Leyang was envious of the general opening of the Wenhua Palace, and begged the sage to find some reliable gentlemen for her, and wanted to read some books seriously.
So the sage sent a message to choose a companion to read for the eldest princess.
When he went down to the court, he explained to the ministers that if they had daughters at home and were of the same age as the princess, they should pick a newspaper with good character and then be selected by the palace.

　　This time, the minds of Manchao's civil and military are alive.
Who doesn't know that Princess Leyang is favored?
And now the Wenhua Hall is accompanying the emperor to listen to the feast day, which one is not a nobleman of Tianhuang and a talented family?
Not to mention how useful the title of "entering the palace" and "being the eldest princess' companion" when the girl's family gets married in the future, just the opportunity to connect with in-laws, and the face of each family after the election is worth it. The big guys put out their strength to fight for a fight.

　　Jiang Xuening didn't know how other families arranged it.
She only knows her own home.

　　After Jiang Boyu came back from the palace, he told Meng Shi about this and said to her: "I heard that during the Double Ninth Festival banquet a while ago, Ning girl seemed to be treated differently by Princess Leyang in Qingyuan's uncle's mansion, and she was very close. I like it. Each family reports candidates, and the palace has to pick them again. In terms of character, talent, and learning, Xuehui is more suitable for this child. He is calm and dignified, and he is not easy to cause trouble. Other girls. Ning girl reported it, she may be picked, but she has a wicked temperament, I am afraid she is more cunning than the eldest princess, so she can't be angry. What should I do? "

　　When Meng Shi heard this, his brows furrowed.
She knew that Jiang Boyu was particularly fond of Ning girl because he was ashamed of Ning girl and had a brave and determined marquis, but it was very important to enter the palace to read with the eldest princess. Where can Jiang Xuening go? rest assured?
She said: "Ning Jie'er is impetuous, but the palace is restrained, she may not be willing to go."

　　Jiang Boyu glanced at her: "I actually think Sister Hui will be more secure."
It wasn't that she was partial, but that Sister Ning's temperament was really worrying.
It doesn't matter if you can't make a face, I'm just afraid of causing trouble.
However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the two sisters, so Jiang Boyu said: "Go and invite the two young ladies to come."

　　Meng Shi fell out of breath for a while, and sighed: "I'm just afraid that Ning Jie'er will fight again and won't give up."

　　*

　　Jiang Xuening was originally taking a nap, but when he was suddenly called up, he was actually a little angry, but it was not easy to attack.
After packing up and going, I found that Jiang Xuehui had arrived early.
She saluted and sat down.

　　Jiang Boyu told them everything and finally said: "Now I only know how to choose a companion to read, and I don't know what to learn and how to do it when I enter the palace. But the companions of the princes of this dynasty all have to live in the palace. You all know where the palace is. You have to be careful and choose a safe one. But Ning Jie'er seems to be very attractive to the eldest princess. What do you two think?"

　　The next moment was silent.
Jiang Xuening sat still and didn't speak.
Jiang Xuehui lowered her head, looked at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and remembered the person she bumped into when she came back from the Chongyang Banquet in the Imperial Palace a few days ago. But she is not a serious daughter-in-law in the house. Although she has the status of a daughter-in-law, she has absolutely no position to fight for herself in front of Jiang Xuening.
At the moment, he only whispered: "But it's up to the parents to make the decision."

　　Meng shi looked at Jiang Xuening intently, and said, "There are only two of you in the house, and it would be suitable for anyone to go. One has a calm temperament, and the other is liked by the princess. After all, entering the palace is not easy, and it is necessary to accompany you. Read. We don't want you to win any glory for the mansion, but it's enough for Fanping to come out safely. Ning Jie'er is too lively, although there may be a son of Yan in the palace to take care of it, the rules are strict in the palace, and the son does not Live in the palace, you may not come here as you should. Therefore, it is reasonable for Sister Hui to go there."

　　Jiang Xuening listened expressionlessly.
Jiang Boyu was always paying attention to her expression. Hearing Meng Shi's words, he felt a little guilty for some reason and felt that it was unfair to the second daughter, so he hurriedly added a sentence: "Of course, Ning girl is liked by the princess. Read for the princess, and if you want to go, you will still show your name."
Meng Shi pursed her lips and stopped talking.

　　Jiang Xuehui really didn't hold out much hope.
She is familiar with Ning Jie'er's temperament, but if she has something, Ning Jie'er must have a better one. Now that the opportunity of entering the palace to study with others, other young ladies from aristocratic families have to steal their heads, how can Ning Jie'er make her wish?
Although this time she actually had a little hope.
But only a little bit...

　　Jiang Xuening sat for a long while, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Her eyes fell on Jiang Xuehui.
Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi had been waiting for a long time, but they didn't listen to her. They only thought that she was giving this opportunity to Jiang Xuehui by default. For a while, there was a feeling that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.

　　Meng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's how it's settled."
But just as she was about to speak, Jiang Xuening actually stood up from her seat.
The words that hadn't been uttered suddenly stuck in his throat.
Meng Shi's eyelids jumped up.

　　Jiang Xuehui turned her eyes to see it, and only sighed bitterly in her heart: Sure enough.

　　Even Jiang Boyu secretly shouted "It's going to be bad", thinking in his head how to settle the matter after Ning girl started making trouble for a while.

　　Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuening didn't even look at anyone, she closed her eyes, bowed her body, and said, "Father and mother are polite. Although this opportunity to enter the palace is rare, her daughter knows her temperament and can't bear to let it go. But my sister is dignified, virtuous, and knowledgeable, and she is willing to go, and she has contacts with noble ladies from a family in Beijing, so it would be more appropriate to enter the palace. This time I let my sister go, and my daughter has no objection."

　　Jiang Boyu was suddenly confused: "What did you say?"
Meng Shi couldn't help sitting upright: " You—"
Jiang Xuehui was also stunned, her eyes flashing, and her expression was inexplicably moved: "Sister Ning..."

　　Jiang Xuening snorted, thinking of Wanniang coming again, and didn't give her any face, only said: "Don't think I'm trying to help someone this time. I don't want to enter the palace because I can't stand the rules in the palace. If there is something I like, I can grab it!"
Jiang Xuehui was speechless and just looked at her.
Jiang Xuening turned his eyes away, and said directly to Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi: "If the father and mother have nothing else to do, the daughter will retire."

　　How did Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi think things would be so easy?
The first time did not respond.
After hearing her words, a few mixed emotions arose in my heart: I thought that Ning Jie'er was going to cause some trouble, but she just let go of this great opportunity and screamed. They were somewhat ashamed of their previous thoughts.

　　Jiang Boyou hurriedly said: "It's alright."
Jiang Xuening did not delay, bowed again, and exited the room.
The three of them were left in the hall, with different expressions.

　　After all, Jiang Xuehui looked at the thin back that had gradually disappeared on the porch, smiled slowly, and said to Mrs. Meng, "Sister Ning's heart is actually very soft..."
Mrs. Meng was silent.
Jiang Boyu was a little moved but sighed: "Ning Jie'er is so sensible, but I'm not used to it. She has really grown up, knows how to be sympathetic to us, and knows how to let her sister."

　　Fortunately, Jiang Xuening didn't hear these words, otherwise, he might have laughed out loud.
I'm afraid everyone thinks that she gave up the great opportunity to enter the palace as a companion, but they don't know that she didn't intend to take this opportunity at all.
When you come out of the hall, your steps should not be too brisk.

　　Lian'er almost couldn't keep up with her, and she shouted as she walked: "Oh my God, what's wrong with you, girl? That's a good opportunity to go to the palace, to go to the eldest princess to read with me. How many people in the capital are sharpened? Your head may not be able to get in. You actually let it out!"
Jiang Xuening snorted: "I'm stupid if I go!"

　　Where is the outside comfort in the palace?
Walking, sitting, and lying down must be disciplined.
Not to mention the companions selected by the family of the ministers below, those concubines who entered the palace to serve the emperor, all were cautious in their words and deeds and did not dare to be slack.
Only when she entered the palace did she realize how hard life was.
Fortunately, after the empress was sealed, no one dared to say anything even if they acted presumptively.

　　But what was it like to read with a companion in the last life?
Xiao Shu, who is proficient in everything and powerful in everything, is overwhelmed, and Eldest Princess Leyang, who "loves and hates her" for her, seizes the opportunity to find her fault and does not let her out.
What is even more frightening is that Mr. Xie Weidang was invited to two classes!

　　In their last life, she had no grudges against Xie Wei this time, and the other party didn't embarrass her very much.
But in this life, Mr. Xie Weidang, is she still alive?
Not to mention that the look of Princess Leyang made her feel lingering in her heart, and Yan Lin often went in and out of the palace...
She wanted to toss herself into it again, she thought her head was too hard and her life was too hard!

　　It's just that Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi asked, and Jiang Xuehui was also sitting there. She really didn't want her to be too happy, so she deliberately delayed it for a long time.
But the end result was a little surprising.
They seem to think they are something good.
But that's okay, it's not a bad thing.

　　As for Jiang Xuehui, will she suffer when she enters the palace to study with her?
What does that have to do with her?

　　*

　　After Jiang Xuening returned to the house, they brought up their "family belongings" and counted them again, only thinking in his heart: Now the matter of companion reading has fallen to Jiang Xuehui, even if he is not selected, he will still enter the palace. I have nothing to do with myself. In this way, it completely deviates from the trajectory of the previous life. She did not provoke Shen d. Then, I just need to find a suitable opportunity to make it clear to Yan Lin, and then wait for the matter of Yongyi Hou's mansion to be settled. No matter whether the final result is good or bad, she has done her best, and then she can go back to Tongzhou to live, or simply You Fangyin, who carried her luggage and learned about her previous life, walked the world.
The scenery outside is so good, why trap yourself in a corner?
The small abacus has been snapping and snapping for a while.

　　Although Yongyi Hou's residence was implicated in the case of King Pingnan's rebellion, she was still a little concerned, but she rarely slept well that night.

　　The next afternoon, the list of candidates in the palace came down.
When it reached the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi couldn't believe their eyes, and repeatedly confirmed to the eunuch from the palace: "Father-in-law, don't tell me this list is wrong? Our mansion presented the name of the eldest girl. , but how is the second girl selected on this list?!"

　　The father-in-law didn't know the inside story either, so he just said: "It's written like this in the decree, the slave family doesn't know. Anyway, it's all girls from your family, so it's not bad. After the decree is made, you can pack some things and enter the palace first. Learn some rules and get acquainted with the situation in the palace. If it is really inappropriate, you will be picked out, in short, you can prepare for the young lady."

　　Jiang Boyu and Meng Shi looked at each other.

　　When the news reached Jiang Xuening, she was still ordering her own things in the house, and she was going to go back and exchange some valuable things that were not easy to carry with silver tickets so that it would be more convenient to go out later.
As a result, Lian'er rushed in excitedly: "Girl, it's you! It's you!"

　　Jiang Xuening felt a pain in her head when she heard her voice.
But the girl Lian'er jumped out, and her thoughts were generally different from hers.
If Lian'er thinks there is a good thing, it must be a bad thing!

　　As soon as the small pen on the account book stopped, Jiang Xuening's eyelids jumped and asked, "What am I?"
Lian'er panted, "Enter the palace! Enter the palace to read with you!"
Jiang Xuening's scalp exploded. A dropped pen stood up: "What did you say?!"

　　Lian'er didn't understand the situation, she thought she was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained to her: "The name of the girl is written on the list of companions in the palace! The master entered the palace from the name of the eldest girl, but I don't know. Why didn't you choose, but added your name directly? You will be reading for the princess soon!"

　　"..."
Jiang Xuening's head suddenly "hum", and thousands of thoughts flashed through like a tide.
In the end, only one remained—

　　Obviously, no name was presented, but there was a list of companions that came out in the end.
The palace is an authentic "Asura Field"!
Who is behind me?
