Langye was a prosperous place with a good business atmosphere. There were many good things there. Coincidentally, Jiang Pengji had been studying in Langye for three years. The second lady wrote a letter to Jiang Pengji to help with the preparations. It was also to show that the Liu residence valued the concubine's daughter and the marriage.
Because Liu She was in Chongzhou, he had no time to send the concubine's daughter off. This task naturally fell on Jiang Pengji's shoulders.
Of course, even if Liu She was free, he would not give the concubine's daughter so much face. Moreover, she was not even his daughter.
Taxue sighed. "Langjun treats the second niangzi so well."
Jiang Pengji listened and smiled without saying a word.
Would she treat a concubine's sister well that she had never met?
Tsk tsk, a weasel paying a visit to a chicken. What good intentions could there be?
It was definitely not a good thing for a concubine's sister to marry Wuma Jun.
Looking at Taxue's graceful figure leaving, Jiang Pengji frowned slightly. The audience in the streaming room drooled.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "It's a pity. If the streamer was a man, such a delicate beauty could be kept in the room."
Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan: "# picknose. the streamer is not such a crazy person. Do you think everyone thinks with their lower body?"
Panda Aah: "Sigh, I also think it's a pity. She's such a beauty and she grew up with the streamer. Instead of marrying out and being defiled by the men of this era, it's better for the streamer to protect her. I think no one is better than the streamer. "
Faced with the stream of emotions, Jiang Pengji could not help but laugh.
What was that saying again?
The green bamboo snake's mouth, the wasp's tail in battle … Some blessings could not be enjoyed.
As she was thinking, Taxue, who had already left, entered the room again. She bowed and said, "Langjun, Wei Langjun came to the residence to send a visitation card."
"Zixiao? What is he doing here at this hour? "
Jiang Pengji's brows furrowed. She secretly thought about Wei Ci's purpose for coming to the residence.
In the three years that she studied in Langye Academy, she had almost no interaction with Wei Ci. He had his own circle of friends. Jiang Pengji would not take the initiative to get close to him. Moreover, he would go out for half a month to visit relatives and friends. They did not meet each other much.
More than half a month ago, she vaguely heard the students of Langye Academy mention that Wei Ci had gone out again. Calculating the time, she reckoned that he had just returned. Why would he come to her residence to send a visiting card? With that in mind, she did not let them wait for long and went straight to the reception pavilion to meet Wei Ci.
Jiang Pengji sat down on the master's seat and said with a smile, "What a rare guest. Zixiao actually took the initiative to come to my humble abode."
Three years had passed, and Wei Ci was now a young man in his early twenties. Compared to three years ago, he looked more handsome.
Probably because of the long journey, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. The green clothes on his body actually seemed a little empty.
Upon hearing the teasing, Wei Ci covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.
The voice was slightly hoarse and nasal. It seemed that this person was not only tired from the long journey, but also not feeling well.
"Did you catch a cold or something? Why don't you get a doctor to take a look? "
Wei Ci shook his head and slowed down his breathing, suppressing the urge to cough. However, the green color under his eyes added a sickly look to his face. No matter how one looked at it, he did not look fine. He said, "I'm fine. It's just that I accidentally caught a cold the day before yesterday and am feeling a little unwell."
Jiang Pengji nodded and waited for Wei Ci to state the purpose of his visit.
Sure enough, Wei Ci had his own purpose for visiting.
"Lanting, I heard that you're going to send off your sister's marriage to Shangjing?" After all, they were classmates in the academy. Wei Ci did not call Jiang Pengji so distant. Instead, he called her by her courtesy name like others did. "This matter, if it can be avoided, try your best to avoid it."
Jiang Pengji was puzzled and asked, "Zixiao must have his reasons for saying this. I don't know why, but why can't I go?"
Wei Ci said, "Three years ago, the government sent troops to help Nansheng. On the surface, it seemed that they were fighting and repelling the four factions of Nanman together with the other countries. In reality, the four factions of Nanman had no intention of destroying Nansheng. They only took the opportunity to retreat and occupy the conquered counties. They took the opportunity to recuperate and plan for the future. At the same time, this was also an extremely vicious plan to sow discord … "
Jiang Pengji said, "I know about this matter. The four factions of Nanman stopped their attacks not because they were really defeated, but because they gave Nansheng a chance to breathe. At the same time, they disintegrated the reinforcements of the other four countries and provoked a conflict of interest between the other four countries and Nansheng.
Although the other four countries sent troops to help Nansheng defend the last of their territory, they did not run a relief society. There was a price to pay for sending troops to help. After Nansheng was defeated, not only did they have to face all kinds of conditions from the four factions of Nanman, but they also had to give benefits to the reinforcements of the other four countries. The other four countries sent troops to help in name, but they also had the intention to take advantage of them.
However, in the beginning, Nanman attacked ferociously. They were united against the enemy. Later, Nanman stopped attacking, and the internal reinforcement alliance was in chaos.
This matter was known to the whole world, but all the countries pretended to be peaceful and righteous. They did indeed fool many fools.
"But, what does this matter have to do with me sending off my sister's marriage?"
Wei Ci choked and lowered his eyelids. His expression was slightly silent.
Jiang Pengji was not in a hurry. She waited for him to speak.
"When the spring ploughing is over, Nanman will definitely make a big move. Nansheng … is probably going to perish. Next, Dongqing will face the predicament of being attacked from both the north and the south," Wei Ci said. "The external threat is so obvious, but there are also many internal problems. The situation in Shangjing is extremely serious. It is almost to the point of being in a state of panic. One by one, they are still living in a drunken stupor, unaware of the changes in the outside world. They are passionate about internal strife. The four princes have grown up and each has their own backing. The fight for the throne is interspersed with the increasingly serious struggle between different factions. If you go to Shangjing, I am worried that you will not be able to return. "
When he was anxious, he did not even address himself as "Ci" anymore. He directly addressed himself as "I."
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows. "I will not be able to return?"
"Don't underestimate those relatives and eunuchs. When they go crazy, they are not afraid of anyone."
Jiang Pengji was calm and played with the teacup in her hand. "I will consider what you said carefully. However, regarding the matter of sending off my sister's marriage, even if it is a dangerous place, I have to go. Wealth comes from danger. I don't know that those relatives and eunuchs are colluding with each other to create trouble. But don't worry, these useless fellows will not be able to touch a single hair of mine! "
Wei Ci pursed his lips. His expression became complicated.
Jiang Pengji suddenly said, "I am not that weak."
"I know."
"Then you can relax and wait for a good show."
In the eyes of others, Shangjing may be a dangerous place, but for her, it was definitely the beginning of her journey to the nine states and four seas.
