    After Zeng Jijing paid her respects to her father, she returned to her boudoir. Although the journey was difficult, as soon as she went to the bed and closed her eyes, the image of Rong Lu would appear in her mind unconsciously.  .

    Lying on the bed but unable to fall asleep, Zeng Jijing could only stare at the bed curtain with her eyes wide open. She couldn't help but think to herself, although this Ronglu is a Manchu, he is very handsome, and he is said to be both civil and military.  She is also familiar with new Western things, so maybe marrying him wouldn't be such a bad thing.

    Thinking of this, Zeng Jijing couldn't help but secretly spit, cursing herself for thinking like this, she seemed so shameless.  I stood up immediately and picked up a book from the bookshelf, intending to read it and forget about those embarrassing things.  But she didn't expect that what she picked up was a copy of "Female Commandments". Zeng Jijing couldn't help but blush slightly, and murmured: "I'm thinking about that person before I go out. God wants Zeng Jijing to read "Female Commandments" again.  "

    At that moment, Zeng Jijing flipped through the book at the desk and started reading. Unexpectedly, she read a few pages but didn't get a single word into her head. Zeng Jijing couldn't help but knocked on her head and murmured: "Zeng Jijing, Zeng Jijing, you are hopeless.  I keep thinking about that person.¡±

    In the blink of an eye, I saw the magnifying glass on the table that the person gave me. My daughter couldn't help but become curious. She picked up the magnifying glass and read the words on the book. Sure enough, the words became huge under the mirror.

    Zeng Jijing was still a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Now her childish innocence grew, so she took a magnifying glass and looked around, but she was enjoying it.

    While playing in the playroom, Lin, the wet nurse from outside the house, opened the door and came in. She said with a happy face: "Miss, it's a good thing, a good thing."

    Zeng Jijing might as well have Lin come in suddenly. In her panic, she dropped the magnifying glass. When she picked it up and looked at it, she found that the magnifying glass had broken into pieces.

    Zeng Jijing couldn¡¯t help but feel sad when she saw it.  Her eyes turned red, then Mrs. Lin stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Oh, isn't this the magnifying glass that my future uncle gave me?"

    Mrs. Lin was Zeng Jijing¡¯s wet nurse. Apart from her mother, Zeng Jijing¡¯s closest relative was Mrs. Lin.  Zeng Jijing couldn't blame Mrs. Lin, so she could only blame herself for her mistake. Tears fell from her beautiful eyes.

    When Mrs. Lin saw it, she hurriedly advised her: "Miss, don't cry. If it breaks, just ask your future uncle to give you one. It's not worth it to break your body from crying."

    Zeng Jijing cried slightly: "This thing is a Western thing, and I don't know how much money it costs. How can he be willing to give it away if I ask him to give it away again for no reason?"

    Mrs. Lin consoled her, "Miss, my future uncle is very worried about you. Just now, the housekeeper said that my future uncle told me in the study to let you relax. You will never have to suffer like this again."

    Hearing this, Zeng Jijing stopped crying and said, "Really?"

    Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "It's true. My future uncle said that he is from a Manchu family. He doesn't like this, and he doesn't mind it either. He personally begged me to let you relax. Miss, you are so lucky to meet me.  A person who truly cares for you."

    Zeng Jijing¡¯s pretty face turned red.  His worries turned into joy and he asked, "Is he gone?"

    Mrs. Lin said: "I had not left when I came here just now, but I don't know if I have left now."

    Zeng Jijing hurriedly took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, and said hurriedly: "Nanny, I want to see him off."

    Mrs. Lin chuckled and said: "Miss, it was fate that we met at the door today. Then I allowed you to meet him, which was a great disrespect. Do you want to see him for the third time in one day?"  Time? If you lose the restraint of your daughter's family, I'm afraid she will be looked down upon by him. "

    Zeng Jijing¡¯s face turned redder, and she whispered: ¡°Well, how about I just take a look at him secretly? Nanny, you take me there, I just take a look secretly, so that he doesn¡¯t find out.¡±

    Mrs. Lin loved Zeng Jijing the most. Seeing her softly begging, she had no choice but to agree. She immediately took Zeng Jijing to the compartment next to the concierge.  If Ronglu wants to leave the mansion, he must go here.

    Zeng Jijing stood by the window of the compartment, and after a while she saw Ronglu and his entourage walking over.  Zeng Jijing looked through the window lattice and saw that Ronglu's face was ashen at this moment, but he didn't have the handsomeness and miraculousness when he first met, nor the deep contemplation and solemnity in the study, nor the gentleness and elegance when he returned the gift to her. At this moment, Ronglu looked at  It looks more like a walking dead that has had its soul removed.

    Zeng Jijing frowned slightly and murmured: "What's wrong with him? Why did he become like this in just a short time? Did something happen?"

    I saw Ronglu walking to the door in despair. He might as well have tripped over the threshold and stumbled to the ground. Zeng Jijing let out a soft cry and couldn't help but want to open the door of the concierge's compartment and go out to help him, but was stopped by Mrs. Lin.  Hold tight.  Fortunately, Ronglu's attendant hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but Ronglu seemed to be worried and threw the attendant away. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said:He said to himself: "I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. We have met each other in two lives, but in the end, why did we come here? Why did we come here?" After that, he strode out.

    Seeing Ronglu walking out of the mansion, Zeng Jijing opened the door and chased him out. However, she only reached the door when she was stopped by Mrs. Lin: "Miss, you can't go out of the mansion."

    Zeng Jijing had no choice but to stop and look outside the mansion. She saw Ronglu's bleak back walking on the long street outside the mansion. His entourage led the horses and followed behind. Ronglu's manic laughter and curses could be heard in the distance.  The sound was loud, but it was too far away to make it clear what he was cursing.  Zeng Jijing tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, frowned slightly and murmured: "What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?"

    ¡­¡­

    Chengen had a pot of fine Yunfeng Maojian in his room, and two pretty maids beside him were beating their backs and pinching their legs. Seven-colored snacks were spread out on the table. Chengen was humming a little tune in his mouth. While he was enjoying it,  But he didn't expect the door to be kicked open.

    Chengen was furious. When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw Ronglu walking in with red eyes.  Seeing that it was Ronglu, Chengen's anger was mostly gone. He hurriedly ordered the two maids to leave, and said to Ronglu with a smile: "Didn't you go to your future father-in-law's house? Why didn't they let you have dinner? So so  Are you back early?"

    After Ronglu and the other two maids went out and closed the door, he rushed forward like a leopard, picked up Cheng'en's collar and shouted angrily: "How come I didn't know that Concubine Yi was pregnant?!"

    Chengen was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, "I only found out this morning when I received a secret report from the capital. What happened to Concubine Yi's pregnancy?"

    Ronglu¡¯s red eyes shouted angrily: ¡°Eighteen thousand taels of silver are spent on the capital¡¯s eyeliners and ears every month. Now you tell me the news of Concubine Yi¡¯s pregnancy as quickly as you can tell me about it?!¡±

    Chengen said with a smile: "Those of us in the capital have not received the news. When the news came this time, our people also gave an explanation. This time, Concubine Yi was pregnant because the emperor ordered to block the news.  We can¡¯t blame them for not working hard if we didn¡¯t get the news.¡±

    Ronglu said angrily: "I will give Peng Yi that dog eunuch three thousand taels of silver every month to let him circulate in the palace. It is best for the emperor to forget about Concubine Yi. Why do you still let her be favored?"

    Cheng'en smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't dare to tell you. In fact, since this time last year, the emperor had been very fond of Concubine Yi. Peng Youyi seemed to be unable to stop her. Later, I heard that it was Concubine Yi who had used tricks to attract the emperor's favor.  "

    Ronglu's face was like a chameleon, changing several colors in an instant. Then the hand holding Chengen's collar slowly dropped down, slumped on the chair, and murmured: "Did she use tricks? Did she use tricks?  ?¡±

    Cheng'en poured him a cup of tea and said, "I don't know why you did this. Do you have any grudge against the imperial concubine Yehenala? You have to spend money to keep her from getting ahead. Fortunately, I am well-informed.  , Stop as soon as you see that you can't stop it. If someone finds out that we colluded with the eunuchs in the palace to trap the nobles in the palace, it will be a crime of beheading. I won't tell Peng Youyi what I didn't stop, because you are afraid that you will get into trouble again.  A moth's thoughts. Brother Rong. Although Yehenala does not have any strong backers outside the palace, once she is favored by the emperor, she will be a phoenix flying on the branches. We will always be slaves and slaves.  How can you deal with the master? Even if you have any enmity with the Yehenala clan, you have to suppress it for the time being, so as not to get angry. Peng Youyi returned the money intact, what happened?  But it¡¯s not over yet. The dog eunuch returned the money because he was afraid that something would happen one day and he could push it all away. I still scattered the money. Some important people have been taken care of. Maybe Master Yi will forget about it as time goes by.  This is the case, otherwise one day she will bring up the old score, and we two brothers will have to live with it."

    Ronglu was dumbfounded as he listened to Chengen's ramblings, his face showing no change.  After a long time, Rong Lu murmured: "I wanted to wait until she was completely forgotten, then find a female corpse to pretend to be her, and replace her from the palace. Why did she do this?"

    With a clang, the teacup in Chengen's hand fell to the ground, and he was shocked: "You, how dare you miss the emperor's woman?!"

    Ronglu looked at him unconcernedly and said sadly, "Can't you? I met her first."

    Chengen had not recovered from the shock, and said in a daze: "That, that is the emperor's woman." Ronglu did not say a word, and after a while Chengen smiled bitterly and said: "I understand, at first I was confused  What kind of enmity do you have with the Yehenala family? I even sent someone to inquire about the relationship between your family and the Yehenala family. You and Concubine Yi have known each other since childhood and are considered distant cousins. It turns out that you like Concubine Yi first."

    After saying this, Ronglu still didn't say anything. Chengen patted Ronglu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this is the end of our conversation today. I, my brother, are on the same boat as you. After saying this, we  It just rots in the stomach.No matter how much you and Concubine Yi liked each other in the past, now that she is the emperor's woman, you can no longer have that thought. We Manchu women have to go to the draft when they reach the marriageable age. This is an ancestral system, and  You can¡¯t blame anyone. If you really want to blame, just blame you for not having a connection with her.  We men are the ones who do big things, what kind of women don¡¯t have us now that we are powerful?  Why are you still thinking about an impossible woman?  Following my brother's advice, I forgot about it.  "

    Ronglu took a sip of tea slowly and said, "I just won't give in. The more this happens, the more I want to find out. I will return to the capital tomorrow. You can help me make arrangements."

    Cheng'en was shocked and said angrily: "What are you doing back to the capital? It's a big crime for you to return to the capital without permission or official documents!"

    Ronglu glanced at him coldly and said: "Zeng Guofan and I have agreed to take a month's leave. Here, you can help me cover it up and say I'm sick. Over there in the capital, you can help me make arrangements. I want to enter the palace."  Meet her!¡±

    Cheng En said angrily: "You bastard, you're crazy. If you kill me, I won't help you!"

    Ronglu snorted and said: "If you don't help me, I will go back by myself. I also know the people in the palace, but if someone catches me, I will tell everything about us!"

    Chengen was furious and pointed at Ronglu and was speechless. He came over and sat down slumped for a while and said: "My little ancestor, if I am afraid of you, I can help you enter the palace, but you must not cause any trouble.  God has no eyes to see, how could I meet you, a master who will never look back until he hits the Nanshan Mountain? The great merciful and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva will bless you, and please don¡¯t let anything happen to you" m. Reading.  )
