The two walked into the flower hall one behind the other.
In the flower hall, there is no Qi Chang, but it is still well organized. Charcoal pots are placed in the corners on both sides, which dissipates the chill in the room.
The two sat across from each other at the square table, and the servants immediately served them refreshments.
The moisture brought by winter snow and cold wind erodes here, rising from the ground and falling on the charcoal. Even the smell of charcoal is stronger than elsewhere. The moisture penetrates into people's clothes as the charcoal fire bakes, Quietly attached to the fur.
Mo Lingfeng quietly revealed the incident at the city gate and asked with a smile, "Has all the news in Kyoto been settled?"
Wu Jin nodded, got up and went to get the box that was locked here today: "Didn't you say you'll come back tomorrow?"
Mo Lingfeng said: "Zhong Jiaqing asked me to return to the fort before New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, so I came back one day early."
Wu Jin took the wooden box back and put it on the table. There was a small brass lock hanging on the box. He went to find the key in his sleeve. He took it out twice but couldn't find it. He quickly changed his hand. , and couldn't find it, so he had to stand up awkwardly and at a loss, and touched his arms and waist again, and finally took out a key.
He inserted the key into the box, took out the letters from Kyoto, and opened them one by one.
Mo Lingfeng picked up a stick from the candy box and brought it to Wu Jin's mouth: "You eat it."
When Wu Jin saw Mo Lingfeng suddenly reaching out, he followed her hand and opened his mouth to eat the hawthorn sticks, feeling a sweet and sour taste in his mouth.
Mo Lingfeng lowered his head and continued to rummage in the candy box. When he found a piece of cake, he stretched out his arm and brought it to Wu Jin's mouth: "This is good."
Wu Jin opened his mouth to eat and continued to read. After reading, he looked up at Mo Lingfeng. Mo Lingfeng was eating with his cheeks puffed up. Then he put a piece of jujube paste pie to his mouth: "Eat."
Wu Jin lowered his head and bit into the piece of pie. After eating, he smiled and said, "Sweet."
He handed the letter to Mo Lingfeng, because his mouth was full of sweetness, and even the words he spoke were somewhat soft: "The money confiscated by the Wang family did not exceed 300,000 yuan. The murder of the emissary is also There was no detailed evidence of his crime, and many parties interceded for him. The emperor spared him the death penalty and gave him an eighty-year-old staff, which he would never use for life. All six of the Wang family's Yinfeng disciples were dismissed. In the future, they will not be allowed to enter the officialdom without imperial examinations."
Mo Lingfeng swept the documents compiled by Wu Jin and put them on the table without looking at them carefully: "It can be seen that Cheng Taishan is more powerful than Wang Yunsheng. None of the children of the Cheng family became officials by relying on Yin. It’s better to rely on a big tree than to rely on a big tree. If the tree falls, people will fall. It’s better to have skills. Did Wang Jingha go to Kyoto?”
"Yes, I'm afraid he wants to use the imperial examination to overturn his father's case."
"He has no real talent, but Wang Yunsheng did some bragging for him," Mo Lingfeng said indifferently, "Don't be afraid of him, he is not even as good as Qi Chang."
Just as Wu Jin was about to speak, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from outside.
Mo Lingfeng was startled at first, and subconsciously pressed his right hand on his waist. Then he saw that the night was flickering, with bright purples and reds, and dots of stars fading from the window, so he put his hand down from his waist.
"fireworks."
She stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the pane, and looked out, but couldn't see clearly - the ancient trees in Jiusixuan were towering. Even though the leaves were withered, the branches were densely packed and stretched out, covering the sky.
She closed the window and walked to the door. She turned back and waved to Wu Jin: "Come on, let's go take a look."
Wu Jin stepped forward and went out with her. Before they could leave the courtyard, Mo Lingfeng suddenly said, "Wait for me here."
She turned and ran back to the flower hall, took two candies from the candy box, put them in her hands, and ran out again.
When passing Yin Bei, she suddenly stopped and said to Yin Bei amidst the sound of firecrackers: "Find a few desperadoes to kill Wang Yunsheng."
"yes."
"Go and invite Cheng San to watch the fireworks."
"yes."
Mo Lingfeng walked quickly to Wu Jin and handed him a candy. As he walked towards the garden, he said loudly: "I asked Yin Bei to ask Cheng San to watch the fireworks. After watching, we will have a drink together."
Wu Jin nodded, put Yitang into his sleeves, and took a step forward. In just a few steps, he arrived in front of the moon gate of the garden. Suddenly, there was another burst of "crackling" sound, one hundred times in a row.
The women's army burst into laughter in the garden. Mo Lingfeng stopped walking and said to Wu Jin, "As soon as I entered, they felt uncomfortable."
Wu Jin looked sideways at her and saw that although she was young, she was already very considerate of her subordinates, and couldn't help but smile.
In the mid-air, there were thousands of brilliant lights and sparks flying in the clouds. The two of them raised their heads at the same time to see the fleeting light. However, within a few breaths, the flower flames withered and turned into gold-like sparks that fell to the ground and disappeared again in the mid-air. extinguished.
Electric light phantoms, the sky is full of chaos.
The two stood and watched for a long time, and then they lowered their heads until the fireworks went off.
Mo Lingfeng rubbed his sore neck and heard Cheng Ting's roar coming from the garden - it seemed that Cheng Ting was in a hurry to watch the fireworks and accidentally let the ground mouse get under his robe.
He immediately jumped three feet high and cursed "woof, woof".
The women's army also shocked him. They all stopped and stood there, helpless. Only Yin Nan, with a straight face, clicked four or five rats and threw them at Cheng Ting.
Cheng Ting screamed, ran away with his head in his hands, ran out of the garden amidst the laughter, and plunged into Wu Jin's arms.
The big yellow dog followed closely behind, barking twice, shaking its head and tail, and squatted down next to Wu Jin.
Cheng Ting pulled his head out of Wu Jin's arms. Because he had a backer, he became more courageous. He turned around and shouted into the garden: "Yin Nan! How dare you blow me up! If you dare, don't use the knife. Let's fight alone." , do you believe it or not, I will kill you weakling in one fell swoop!"
His answer was a loud "bang", and he suddenly squatted down with his head in his hands, while Mo Lingfeng and Wu Jin raised their heads again and looked at the sky.
The smoke is like fog, and a puff of stars rushes out of the smoke and blooms again.
Cheng Ting's broad shoulders hunched up again. He stood up and looked up at the sky. Three people and one dog all raised their heads and remained motionless. They waited until these disheveled stars flashed past before they fell down.
Wu Jin took advantage of the silence at this moment and said to Mo Lingfeng: "Tan Xuan has been appointed as the magistrate of the state. The yellow paper has been printed. This person has never appeared in the newspapers and tabloids. It is not clear who he is. But in my opinion, it won’t be someone from the East Palace.”
Mo Lingfeng nodded.
Cheng Ting listened with rapt attention - if he missed half a sentence, he might never understand the next words.
After hearing this, he wondered: "Why not Dong Palace? You two, please don't keep everything secret, please, be more considerate and considerate of me!"
Wu Jin explained to him carefully: "This time Kuanzhou changes hands, both the East Palace and the vassal kings have recommended them. The resumes of these people have been written in the tabloids. I think the people recommended by the East Palace are all experienced, but they have not been transferred." The post of Privy Council is not the best candidate to hold the post of magistrate of the state. On the contrary, it is Wei Fan. The recommended people have the experience of being transferred to the Privy Council and can take on the post of magistrate of the state."
Cheng Ting asked again: "Kuanzhou is an important border area, and the East Palace still dislikes it?"
Wu Jin replied: "I'm afraid the East Palace has seen through the conflict between His Majesty and the Mo family. He knows that the situation in Kuanzhou is complicated and is unwilling to intervene too much to avoid His Majesty's displeasure and loss of troops."
