Chapter 56 (1/2)
Over this
ti Mei was not relaxed and comfortable as she appeared
wang Yun
Feng’s demotion appeared to be a compromise between the emperor and the
influential fa the influential
families he had offended in the past As if to say, look at me, executioner
wang Yun Feng has been demoted, they found their opportunity, the emperor isn’t
happy, that’s why the e him down from third rank to
fifth rank, see the emperor pays attention to everyone’s opinions
In realty, people
who use their heads inevitably think further into the future Back then wang
Yun Feng was given the iate, in a short half a year
he went to quite a few places, getting in touch with a lot of officials and
ordinary people Supposedly the accounts book he handed over when he came back,
it was enough for a case to be spread over an area, it was clear how many
people how s were reported
But after handing the things over
they never left home, and had little contact with the outside world, the
e all those accounts book did not do anything, it was
too strange
It was like
so, concentrated black clouds were heading
over, the sun was blocked, clothes had been taken inside, but waiting for
around apeople feel they
?
The rats
hiding in the government offices stealthily stuck their heads out, after
conspiring together they decided tooff his horse, then once otiate with the emperor
Afterwards,
wang Yun Feng, wang Yun Feng was off his horse, the emperor then did not show
any wish to sort out the corrupt officials
All was
quiet
But, not
even two days later, wang Yun Feng was sent out on a mission This disaster
relief, when he was to return was truthfully uncertain Maybe, there were soonce more needed quite a lot of time,
and the dam had to be fixed, fertile land re-established, and to socialise with
the local officials, around a year would be
necessary If the matter wasn’t
settled, wang Yun Feng may have to stay there unable to come home for several
years
This was
equivalent to being appointed to a post outside of the capital, and ht as
well be holding the power of a local simple official
Over these
days she went to pry news from each family, and on the way coax a few
relations, alloang Yun Feng to b able to return home a bit quicker If
there were people helping inside the i would not
have to suffer so much
She was
anxious, even though she kept a relaxed and comfortable joyous appearance
When Bai
Yan asked, she then dragged up the anger from the bottom of her heart
“Where this
oes, when she returns, is beyond your criticism”
Bai Yan
si Yun Feng’s personal
guard, fro’s orders, when he
considered things he stood in the viewpoint of wang Yun Feng
To Bai Yan,
he really couldn’t bear seeing Xia Ling Mei leave! He also believed, inside
this wang residence the people holeheartedly felt for wang Yun Feng,
felt restless in their hearts every ti Mei left the house
Only, usually
wang Yun Feng didn’t say anything, these people could only endure it Like Xia
Ling Mei said, they simply weren’t in the position to ask One was the master,
the other was a servant, as a servant entitled to ask where their master
goes
Xia Ling
Mei furiously returned to the rear court, a young maid scared witless poured
tea for her, and presented a few plates of light refreshht
refresh sweet
At the end
of the ainst the grey
sky, even looking at it, you can feel the cold hovering in the air This sort
of cold caorously yet
warertips felt
sticky and unbearable
Xia Ling
Mei sta around the house a few
times
Xiu Yu and Ying shi+ saw she was fidgety, suggesting to embroider or
raphy
“I’m not
you, how can I be cals”
Taking two
ht refreshments, she simply ran to the courtyard with her whip
and brandished it a few ti the limestone floor that clay flew
upwards from the cracks
On the half
dried up tree trunk,vastly
and variously, decorating her dark red long sleeves, veryYun Feng’s nostalgic portrait In the seven years, wang Yun Feng painted many
portraits of Xia Ling Mei, there were ones of her in her childhood learning and there were ones of
her as a young lady, arrogantly laughing in a tyrannical manner; and ones when
they firston the soft bed The most were,
the silhouette of her brandishi+ng her whip over and over in all four seasons
The Xia Ling Mei in the portraits was like a fireball, now and then igniting
the man’s intellect
From the
servants view, the Xia Ling Mei today had been angered quite a bit by Bai Yan,
treating the floor like Bai Yan as she flogged it Everyone waiting upon her,
couldn’t help take a step and another back,all the effort to hide their
figure, hoping the mistress wouldn’t spread the destruction
Under the
old housekeeper’s ar unhurriedly pass the
doorway of the courtyard, he took a furtive look, he asked laughing: “Mistress,
do you want this old slave to truss up Bai Yan for you to vent out your anger?”
“Humph!”
“Aiya, that
boy Bai Yan has been difficult since he was a child The more he cares about
sohtly, its rather a trivial matter, he wishes
for the whole world to be in chaos…a matter as small as a sesame seed”
Could it be
the reason he went to find Xia Ling Mei was for `a big matter` the size of sesame
seed?
Xia Ling Mei couldn’t get angry at
the old housekeeper, she flicked her wrist, relaxing the long whip, the asked:
“Does the old housekeeper want to say so to me on behalf of Bai Yan?”
The old
housekeeper gently laughed: “It’s nothing, it’s only aas a
sesame seed”
If it could
make the old housekeeper warn her cautiously and seriously, how could it be a
trivial matter
Xia Ling
Mei put away the long whip, taking the handkerchief offered by a young maid to
wipe her sweat, and went to change her clothes, once again drank some hot tea,
before then sitting down calmly to listen to the old housekeeper
“Mistress,
this old slave’s words ht But, as an old person
who has lived in the wang residence all his life, I hope you will carefully
listen to this old slaves words, then consider it before againa
decision”
Xia Ling
