Most people ate this meal with trepidation.

When the banquet was over, everyone left one after another for fear of being punished for leaving late.

However, the people from the Duke's Mansion were walking towards the official road like a leisurely stroll. Sheng Wan still looked arrogant, and even his hair was delicate.

"Master Huang was the first one to show up just now. Who didn't know that the second girl in his house was going to be sent to the palace? When he knelt down, he said that he would sacrifice himself for the country, the country and the country, as if he could bravely go to justice even if the emperor didn't agree.

In the end I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to express my anger.”

She smiled happily.

Why don't all of these people understand that the emperor is no longer at the mercy of others? He hit his head against the wall until it bled, and then he realized the pain.

Ruan Zhen nodded in agreement.

A good emperor is one who devotes himself to the country and the people and makes meritorious deeds. But why can his descendants become the standard by which he is judged?

Can Zhou Xu and Liu Nianchu have any future heirs?

Isn't it enough that the royal family has always fought bloody battles for the throne?

Saying that, Sheng Wan was a little dissatisfied.

"Are those old men, who are not afraid of the cold and hard ground, and think that everyone is made of stone?"

Is it really cheap to be the Duke's knee?

She narrowed her eyes and remembered something, then turned to ask Aunt Kong: "I heard that Mrs. Huang has taken a liking to a set of jewelry from Jin Yutang in recent days."

Granny Kong said respectfully: "Yes, it was booked by Mrs. Huang several months ago. It should be for the second girl to enter the palace. I heard that the craftsman spent a lot of effort on it."

Sheng Wan said like a robber: "Oh, then I want it."

Ruan Zhen:???Isn’t this bad?

Sheng Wan looked at Ruan Zhen: "Send it to you."

Ruan Zhen fell.

"Mom, you are so kind."

Gu He, who had not said a word and had a low sense of presence, looked at Chang Su and said faintly: "Go and talk to Mr. Huang. When the jewelry is ready, let her wife deliver it to the Duke's Mansion in person, and she will be the one to apologize today."

Already."

The conversation here was listened carefully by Sang Zhijin, who was not far behind. She was full of surprise and suspicious of her ears.

Is this relationship really just a simple mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Not biological?

No wonder, when her grandfather sent her to the carriage in Lin'an, he specifically mentioned not to offend anyone in Duke Ding's mansion, as the Gu family had always been accommodating to relatives.

This mood could not be calmed down even after getting on the carriage.

The woman beside her was extremely anxious. As the carriage drove by, she thought carefully before saying, "Girl, what should I do?"

How can being a merchant be compared with being an official? Now that the situation is good, the descendants of the Sang family do not want to settle for the ordinary, so they intend to join the court. However, even though the Sang family is famous, they have no foundation in the court after the new emperor's reorganization.

Thinking of sending Sang Zhijin to the palace.

But all this was in vain.

"Although the eldest son is capable, he can't compare to the illustrious ancestors of the Sang family. The scientific examination is fine, but it is extremely difficult to establish himself in the court without help. Now, do you want to go back?"

Hearing this, Sang Zhijin's eyes flashed with sadness. Everyone knew that she had a noble status and was the most favored daughter in the family, but a daughter was still a daughter, how could she compete with a male?

Therefore, she became her brother's stepping stone and was sent here.

It is only right to make sacrifices for the Sang family, not to mention that Zhou Xu is really handsome.

She closed her eyes, no longer planning in front of her, and she looked very haggard and vulnerable at this moment.

"not going back."

She twitched her lips: "It won't be the emperor, it will be someone else. As long as it is beneficial to the Sang family, my destiny in this life can only be determined here."

She suddenly remembered Ruan Zhen's words.

Who doesn't want to be the main wife?

But she has no right to choose.

As she said that, she murmured: "I just hope he is handsome. Otherwise, how will I live the rest of my life facing an ugly face all day long?"

————

Ruan Zhen just returned to Moyuan. After freshening up, she took the unopened letter from Chang Su. She couldn't wait to open it, but the content of the letter was boring. It was just like the few letters she had received not long ago.

Either I'm fine or I don't care.

Is it difficult to write a few more words?

Who pressed Gu Huaizhi's hand?

Ruan Zhen pursed her lips: "He should have arrived by now."

Chang Su: "Exactly, but Master and the others are not in a hurry to enter the city."

"Why is this? Could it be that you are trying to find out the sentiments of the people?"

Chang Su had something to say and did not dare to hide it at all: "There is a kiln that sells skin and meat within thirty miles outside Lin'an City. The master should go there first and have a look."

Ruan Zhen:???

Um?

Going to visit a kiln?

Gu Huaizhi still wants to visit the brothel now?

Ruan Zhen couldn't calm down and stood up suddenly, but she quickly reacted.

Yes, if you want to get information, there is really no better place than the kilns.

"The Crown Princess."

"Um?"

Chang Su asked cautiously: "Are you jealous?"

"You're worrying too much."

Ruan Zhen smiled appropriately: "How could I be a jealous woman?"

"I just hope that my husband will return home safely and early. As for going to that kind of place, he can't help himself. I can understand that."

But even though she knew it, Ruan Zhen still held the letter with such force.

After Chang Su retreated.

Ruan Zhen went to sit down at the desk. Under the dim and soft light, the woman's thick eyelashes cast a shadow.

The bright moonlight shines through the window panes, deserted and as cool as water.

Although Linhai is poor and has difficulty communicating with the outside world, because it is close to the sea, the people there have no worries about food.

But because of this, anyone can go to the sea to salvage, so that the seafood cannot be sold. If it is transported to other places for sale, it cannot be stored for long and cannot be kept fresh.

Most of their daily income comes from refining sea salt. It is inconvenient to travel by land and water, so they sell it to salt merchants at a low price, and the salt merchants transport it and sell it at a few percent higher price.

It was obviously a golden cave, but it became a barren land.

After thinking for a moment, she took the wolf hair, dipped it in ink, and began to reply.

After doing this, Ruan Zhen opened the door and delivered the letter to the secret guard outside. The secret guard accepted the letter, bowed respectfully, and turned around to leave.

Ruan Zhen gathered the outer firs and went to the inner room.

At the same time, the hustle and bustle of Hualiu Lane outside Linhai City gradually began.

It's such a late autumn, but those women can't feel the cold. Their shoulders are exposed, their red lips are beautiful, and they have a warm fragrance.

You can hear the coquettishness and greasy teasing of men everywhere.

Gu Huaizhi turned the jade ring faster and faster, his patience was about to run out. He looked straight at Changfeng with a cold face.

I didn't hear any useful news, all I heard were greasy and filthy voices.

——Sweetheart.

——Xiao Tiantian.

——You really miss me.

If you want to die, just die! Gu Huaizhi doesn't mind giving him a ride.

Mu Hansheng also had a dark line: "Is this your good idea?"

Changfeng:......

Who knew that people who come here to visit the flower houses after spending money would be so anxious that they just go straight to the topic???

Changfeng's straight back collapsed.
