Chapter Thirty-One
He was a man who traveled from battlefield to military camp.
He hopes to focus more on his career, bring peace to the people, and make the country strong and the people safe.
Or he can arrange troops and train in his free time. He was born into a noble family, and his life can be rich and particular, but he is not blindly pursuing life in an extravagant way, being picky and overly focused without any bottom line.
In the early years, he also thought that women could take care of the backyard well and do their duty well, regardless of the rights and wrongs of the outer courtyard. Just dress themselves well and not disgrace the reputation of the government. With his status and family background, he can naturally satisfy many women.
There is nothing wrong with having such a high-quality life with fine food and clothing.
This was his initial request for his future wife.
However, during these years outside, he fell in love with a relaxed and unrestrained life. It is hard to imagine that there was a mistress in his life who was in charge of everything.
He was born into an aristocratic family, and he has seen too many types of couples' lifestyles.
For example, the prince and the princess were originally married by the emperor, but they seemed to be inseparable. They worked together for the common interests and could crush each other for their own interests. When did husband and wife become enemies?
, when we are our own people, this kind of mutual suspicion and speculation life is so tiring.
His eldest brother, Qin Fengzhong, and Qin Shouqing's grandfather married the daughter of the previous prime minister. The eldest sister-in-law was dignified and virtuous, a model for a daughter of aristocratic families. She took care of the backyard for her husband, respected her parents-in-law, took care of the housework, presided over the middle-income family, and carried the house and took in concubines.
He kept the entire Zhenguo Palace in good order, and everyone praised his virtues.
But he knew that his eldest brother respected her very much, but what he liked more in his heart was one of his concubines, a theater actress who was more than charming but lacking in discipline.
His subordinate, Cao Zhen, was a great general who married a wife who was known as a shrew.
In the army, Cao Zong was a general who said that he could command all directions with his unparalleled power, but at home he was very strict with his wife. His wife told him not to go east or west, and she dared not sit even when standing. The whole army was a laughing stock.
Now Mu Langning's complicated and luxurious life is even more difficult for him to enjoy.
Mu Langning is like that. If she wants to live such a life, she must also have such requirements for the people around her.
When taking a bath, use water soaked in three different petals. Do not use the outer three layers of petals, as they will soon fade and have no beautifying effect. Do not use the inner two layers, as too much pollen will damage the skin.
Qin Fengxi was a military general, and he didn't like any flowering plants in the yard. Now that Mu Langning picked them, they were even more depressed and turned into bare seedlings.
Then a lot of manpower and material resources were spent transplanting a large number of colorful flowers, making the entire Qin Mansion look like a planting garden.
When eating, she must use pastel bowls from Ding kiln to look stylish. She thinks gold bowls are tacky and ordinary pottery is redundant.
Three meals a day must be on time, not a moment later or a moment earlier is not enough to maintain good health.
How can he, a soldier, eat on time and on time?
If not, it will lower her quality of life and taste, which will make people like Qin Fengxi who don't stick to trivial matters and live a simple life very distressed.
During this period of time, getting along with Mu Langning has become very annoying. He has tried his best to stay in the house as little as possible, but every time he goes back to the house, Mu Langning swoops over like a butterfly. So much so that it lasts for a long time.
After a while, when he smelled the fragrance of Mu Langning, he immediately turned around and ran away.
That day, after Jiang Wei paid her respects in the morning, she clamored for Jiang Lu to take her to Jizhou City.
She had a plan that she had been wanting to do since she came back from Jizhou City. After two days of preparation, she felt it could be implemented.
Jiang Lu couldn't resist her playful teasing, so he had someone hitch a carriage.
When Jiang Wen came out, she saw her leading the steward in her room, Granny Qu, and her daughter-in-law. She also brought her two eldest girls Zhui Xing and Mingyue, and also borrowed two second-class girls elsewhere.
Girl.
Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed up in a flamboyant manner. They awkwardly greeted Jiang Lu and called him "Sir."
Jiang Lu was shocked: "What is this?"
The girl from the Jiang family didn't show off like this when she went out. He thought he was taking her out secretly and she should keep a low profile.
But I don’t want to bring so many people with me in such a high-profile manner.
It was enough to bring a lot of people, but I saw that Grandma Qu was dressed like a wealthy lady, and her daughter-in-law was also dressed like a lady.
He asked in confusion: "How can you serve a girl when you are dressed like this and you need someone to take care of you? And Mingyue, you are dressed more richly than the lady in gold and silver. Where did you come from?"
Several people also blushed. They didn't understand that early this morning, the third girl asked them to dress up like this and said that she would take them to do something big.
To be honest, they were not used to dressing up like this, and they did not dare to disobey Jiang Wu. After all, Jiang Wu still had a long-standing reputation at home.
Jiang Wei didn't want to explain anything to Jiang Lu, and even after she explained, he didn't understand, so he still scolded her for being lawless and rebellious, so she said coquettishly, "Oh, daddy, don't worry about it, I have big things to do. Hurry up.
Get in the carriage and wait there. Don’t come out to see anyone yet. You haven’t forgotten what I taught you yesterday. Just listen to my arrangements when you get to Jizhou City later.”
Jiang Lu looked suspicious but didn't understand why. There was nothing he could do if his daughter wanted to make trouble. Aunt Qu and others crowded into the carriage. There were too many people in the carriage. Jiang Lu did not want to wrong his daughter and such a person.
There were a lot of slaves crowded together, and it was a waste of time to hitch the carriage, so someone brought a pony over to Jiang Wei and asked Jiang Wei to ride the horse.
The group entered Jizhou City and went directly to Jining Temple. Jiang Wei inquired about how Mu family would go to Jining Temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Jining Temple mainly enshrines Guanyin, the goddess who gives birth to children, and Yuelao, who seeks marriage.
Jiang Lu said that this kind of place was mostly visited by women, and he, a grown man, would not go in. Jiang Wei asked him to find a teahouse outside to sit, hear about books and drink tea, and then go find him after he came out.
She led a group of people into the temple and carefully arranged what they would do next.
"Do you all understand?"
Everyone has made it clear.
Jiang Wei saw that Aunt Qu was still respectful to her at home, so she reminded her: "Aunt Qu, you are a wife now. This attitude is no longer good. You should adjust it quickly. And Mingyue. You too, you can wait.
She is the daughter of Yuan Li."
Everyone nodded, no longer being submissive, they raised their heads and chests, and changed their temperament. Aunt Qu looked rounder, and once she changed her clothes, she really looked like a lady. Jiang Wei was very satisfied.
She arranged for Grandma Qu, her daughter-in-law, and two other girls to wait outside the temple. She said that she would start after seeing Mu's carriage later. She also described the appearance of Mu's carriage carefully and described Mu's carriage.
Describe it to Mu Langning.
Mu family also kept a low profile, except for the carriage of Wai Jian and Nei Hua every time he went to Jining Temple.
There were very few people accompanying her, and she was dressed low-key, just like an ordinary woman with a little wealth.
Mu Langning was used to being high-profile, and she actually didn't like traveling like this with Mu.
On weekdays, there are not eight but four people who serve her. She only brings one like this. The temple she comes to every time is not big. Although there are many women praying, most of them are dressed as poor people. At first glance, they are all poor people.
She felt uncomfortable in this place and felt that she had lost her status.
In addition, Ming Yue and Chai Xing were arranged to say, "You will pretend to go out after offering incense. Do you still remember what I just taught you?"
Mingyue was dressed like this for the first time, feeling faintly happy and answered with a smile on her face.
She then went in to find a fortune-teller who was wearing a Taoist robe and had everything he needed, and knocked on the table: "Don't sleep, business is coming."
Going to bed so early in the morning can clearly see the business.
When the fortune teller heard this, he woke up immediately and immediately changed into an enigmatic and immortal look.
While stroking his goatee, he asked: "Little girl, are you looking for a face? Are you looking for marriage or a child?"
She is so young, what kind of marriage and child do she want?
He is indeed a charlatan.
But she liked his pretentious attitude, it was a bit like it.
She said in a mature and capable manner: "I'm going to introduce you to a big business deal. Are you interested? We can split the money in half."
As soon as he heard about the big deal, the warlock immediately became excited and asked: "Is what the lady said true?"
Then he looked at her young age and immediately said with a cold face: "Could the little girl be bored and come to tease me for fun? Go ahead and have fun."
Jiang Wei took out a piece of gold and waved it in front of his eyes. The sorcerer's eyes widened and he quickly changed his expression to a flattering one.
This gold is fake, and Jiang Er's work can make it look fake.
Jiang Wei is so funny, this guy's facial expressions are almost as fast as hers.
However, what she wants is this kind of person who is greedy for money.
She said: "If you follow my instructions and arrangements later, I will keep it for you to do a big business that will last for half a year. I have already made arrangements for it. It just depends on whether you want to make a fortune or not."
The sorcerer saw that although Jiang Wei was young, he could bring out such a big piece of gold, and that he spoke and acted in a measured manner, not like a child's joke, so he bowed and said: "My little old man's surname is Zhang, and he is known as Zhang Tianshi. Please give me some advice, young lady."
"I know your surname is Zhang, but you are so famous."
Then she whispered her plan into Zhang Tianshi's ear.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianshi was shocked and wanted to drive her away and said: "You actually asked me to lie to General Feng's mother. This is not bad. If General Feng finds out, he still doesn't want my head. You go, you go,
You leave quickly."
She was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Wealth and wealth can be found in danger. The timid will be starved to death, and the bold will be starved to death. Besides, I won't let you be deceived, so don't worry, I will never give up your head."
Zhang Tianshi hesitated slightly.
Indeed, he read fortune tellings here. Most of the people here were poor, and those from wealthy families went to Lingyin Temple. Therefore, he could not earn a few copper coins a day.
He asked again tentatively: "Are you really going to be fine?"
Jiang Wei crossed her hands on her chest, with a calm face and a confident nod.
