Chapter 210: Wang Xifeng is coming down
After supervising the two love-struck beauties to finish their meal, Cao Rui walked out of the room contentedly. The sunlight shining on his body gave him a sense of comfort.
He decided to take a good look at the capital city and feel the unique charm of this ancient capital. If he had the chance, he would pick a few golden hairpins.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Jin Kaiwen wandering there, and I didn't know how long he had been waiting.
When Jin Kaiwen saw Cao Rui coming out, he hurried forward and said:
"Brother Cao, please call Wu Mei out. I have something to say to her. Remember not to alarm Long Biyun."
"Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble with them by contacting them too much?"
"I just asked for a piece of blood jade, which can temporarily suppress bad luck."
"Okay, come with me."
Cao Rui quietly brought Jin Kaiwen to an empty courtyard nearby, and then quietly brought Wu Mei over.
There was confusion and uneasiness in Wu Mei's eyes. When she saw Jin Kaiwen, her surprise was beyond words and she immediately ran forward.
Jin Kaiwen looked at his childhood sweetheart with complicated eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Finally, he slowly opened his mouth...
Cao Rui took the initiative to avoid suspicion and came to the Moon Gate to guard it, not allowing outsiders to approach, and did not deliberately concentrate on eavesdropping.
So, I don’t know what Jin Kaiwen said.
Wu Mei's face became paler and paler, tears flowed out of her eyes like a river, and she sobbed and almost fainted.
Fortunately, she was strong and was not defeated by the emotional pain. She looked at Jin Kaiwen deeply and ran away crying.
Jin Kaiwen remained calm, his mind made up. He walked up to Cao Rui and said:
"Brother Cao, I have already convinced Wu Mei, you just wait for good news."
"Also, please, Brother Cao, bring Wu Mei and Long Bi Yun to my residence tomorrow and wait for them. I want to put on a good show for them."
"it is good!"
Although Cao Rui had many doubts in his mind, he still agreed.
the next day.
Cao Rui kept his promise and forced the sick Long Biyun and the worried Wu Mei to take a carriage to visit the Shenjing City.
We calculated the time precisely and found a two-story restaurant near the tenement where Jin Kaiwen lived to have dinner.
The three of them went up to the second floor and found a seat by the window.
The waiter brought the food quickly, but Long Biyun and Wu Mei had no appetite at all. They just sat there in silence with empty eyes.
Cao Rui didn't force it, as he had a good appetite anyway.
While we were eating, there was a sudden noise on the street.
Cao Rui's heart moved, and he stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
I saw a crowd of people surging on the street, surrounding a solemn team slowly approaching.
At the front of the team, the court angels dressed in gorgeous official uniforms held their heads high and had solemn expressions.
Behind him followed a group of guards, all of them were energetic and majestic.
A curious person had already rushed to the slum and informed Jin Kaiwen to come quickly to receive the order.
Jin Kaiwen was well prepared. He gave out reward money, took people out to set up the incense table, and made the men and women in the slum kneel down to receive the order.
The court angel unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read aloud:
"Jin Kaiwen, you are a master doctor who cured the Empress Dowager's illness and has made great contributions to the country. I hereby reward you with some treasures from the mansion, promote you to a higher position, and grant you a marriage with Miss Jia from Rongguo Mansion."
The angel's voice was loud and solemn, echoing throughout the street.
The neighbors all exclaimed in amazement, and looked at Jin Kaiwen with envy, jealousy and admiration.
Afterwards, servants came over carrying boxes of treasures. These treasures shone brightly in the sunlight, dazzling the eyes.
There are gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., each of which is priceless.
This is too ostentatious, as if you are deliberately showing off!
As the angel finished reading, Jin Kaiwen was surrounded by the joyous neighbors in the compound. He changed into the official uniform granted by the court, rode a tall horse, and headed towards his new home, starting his horse-riding parade through the streets.
The streets were crowded with people, cheering and applauding.
Some people are extremely envious and look at him with admiration.
Others were talking about the legendary story of how Jin Kaiwen rose from an unknown little man to become a rising star in the imperial court.
On the second floor of the restaurant, when Long Biyun heard Jin Kaiwen's name, she squeezed next to Cao Rui and saw with her own eyes the glorious scene of Jin Kaiwen. Her girlish heart was completely broken.
I don’t know how many times I cursed this unfaithful man in my heart?
Wu Mei gritted her teeth and cried bitterly, her face covered with tears.
Cao Rui shook his head helplessly, and then he found Young Master Zi hiding in the crowd.
Her eyes were full of resentment and resentment, as if saying, how could I fall in love with such a heartless and unfaithful man?
……
That night, Beppu was completely shrouded in negative emotions.
The three women lost their appetite at the same time. There is nothing more sad than a dead heart.
Even though Cao Rui has many talents, he is helpless in the face of this situation. He can only isolate himself from the news and let time heal everything.
But at this time, Jin Kaiwen asked him for help to propose marriage to Rongguo Mansion.
Cao Rui frowned and said, "You really know how to give me a difficult problem. To be honest, you can't control the young ladies and wives of the Ning and Rong mansions because they all have their names on the Department of Misfortune."
Jin Kaiwen looked puzzled: "The Department of Misfortune? What is that?"
Cao Rui sighed and said:
"It is a place that records the fate of many beautiful women with tragic fates. For example, Jia Yingchun, although she is beautiful and married to a wealthy family, her marriage luck is extremely bumpy."
"Although you have been granted marriage by His Majesty, it seems extremely glorious, but the road ahead may not be easy. The Ning and Rong mansions may seem prosperous, but in fact, they are already riddled with holes."
"The fate of those young ladies in this complicated family is full of twists and turns. You can't easily control it."
After listening to this, Jin Kaiwen had a strange expression on his face and bowed deeply:
"Brother Cao is very talented, Meilong admires you! In my current situation, I can't even accept my devoted cousin and childhood sweetheart, let alone Miss Jia."
"It's just that there are some things that I can't help. I was originally worried about getting Miss Jia involved, but since she is destined to die, I have no worries and will try to save her."
Whoops!
There is a story behind this.
Seeing that Jin Kaiwen had no intention of saying anything and it was not easy to threaten him, Cao Rui agreed to help propose marriage.
In this way, the two of them took gifts and a matchmaker to the Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage and set a date for the wedding.
The Rong and Ning families had already received the imperial decree granting the marriage, and they were both quite surprised. How could Jia Yingchun's name reach the palace and be granted marriage?
The masters of the two mansions sent people to inquire about the reason, but they only found out that Jin Kaiwen was just an ink shop owner before. They looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts and felt that they were not a good match for him.
But it is hard to disobey the Holy Will!
Therefore, when Jin Kaiwen came to propose marriage, he was harassed by Jia She, the father of Jia Yingchun.
He did not show up at all and only let the woman Wang Xifeng come out to negotiate.
……
Jin Kaiwen and Cao Rui were sitting in the living room drinking hot tea when they suddenly heard laughter. The sound was so pleasant to the ears that it seemed as if a beautiful young woman in her early twenties was walking towards them.
"I am late and have not welcomed the distinguished guest!"
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and before long, they saw a beautiful woman coming in from the back door, surrounded by a group of wives and maids.
She was dressed extremely luxuriously and was also extremely beautiful, with phoenix eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, a slim figure, a charming body, a dignified face, and red lips that could be heard smiling before she opened them.
Jin Kaiwen stood up to greet her, but he was muttering in his heart, why is this woman from the Jia family so dissolute and rude, not at all dignified.
When Cao Rui saw the beautiful woman walking towards him with brisk steps, his eyes moved slightly and a faint mist appeared in his pupils, and he discovered her special talent.
