Chapter 170 Code of Ethics

On the day Princess Leyang Shen Zhiyi and her own car drove out of Beijing, it is said that many people would pass by and walk towards the northwest in the evening.

As she left Beijing, the previously heated peace talks gradually subsided.

In the capital, from nobles and nobles to the common people, everyone's attention quickly shifted to the wedding ceremony between the current imperial examination and the approaching Prince of Linzi, Shen Jie, in April.

The originally inconspicuous Imperial Palace has naturally been the busiest in recent days.

Next, he went to the residence of the Minister of Revenue, Jiang Shilang.

Everyone says that in terms of character, talent, and background, Fang Miao, a girl from the Qintian Academy, is difficult to compare with Jiang Xuehui, the eldest girl from the Jiang Shilang family. However, her reputation is burdened by her own immature sister, and she ultimately did not choose the title of Empress Dowager. When selecting the main consort, she also chose the side consort, which shows how much His Royal Highness likes her, and how difficult it is for Fang Miao, the main consort, to choose her.

The wedding date is set for April 18th, and the two concubines on both sides will enter the household at the same time.

The doorstep of the Jiang Mansion is about to be broken by people, including those who deliver famous posters, give congratulatory gifts, get close to each other, establish relationships, and enjoy the autumn breeze. Along the way, the servants also smile and walk with wind blowing from their feet, bringing light to their faces.

However, this does not include the maids and mother-in-law in Jiang Xuening's courtyard.

They are not only unhappy, but in recent days they have become increasingly worried and cautious.

A new letter was delivered to You Fangyin's side in Shu, but Tang Er dared not pretend to be someone else and went to pick it up in person. On the way back, she happened to encounter Jiang Boyou who was going out.

Jiang Boyou glanced at her and frowned, "Is Miss Ning still like that?"

Tang'er was trembling: "The girl woke up at the third quarter of the morning, drank a bowl of rice porridge prepared by the kitchen, and then lay back to sleep. She got up at the third pole of the day and looked out of the window for a long time. The dishes sent by the kitchen only used a few pieces of roast Roast squab, cherry meat, and half a bowl of rice. Surely Shizi sent some new things, and she just looked at them and threw them down, and asked to go to the lantern party instead..."

Jiang Boyou let out a long sigh and said, "What kind of thing is this?"

Tang Er is too grand to take a breath.

After Princess Leyang went to make a wedding, her own girl seemed to have lost her spirit and didn't even bother to step out of her own room. She watched as she ate and slept, but the maids who served her looked at her with fear and worry, and no one could do anything about her.

But these days, the master has been asking the girl about things from time to time.

I seem to care more than before.

Tang'er doesn't know if this is her own illusion, maybe it's because the girl's recent state is very worrying, right?

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Boyou shook his head and admonished, "Take good care of yourself. Her sister's wedding is coming in a few days. If she doesn't want to go, she won't go. Don't let anyone disturb her, let her take care of her for a few more days."

Tang'er bowed and said, "Yes."

Jiang Boyou then turned around with a worried expression and left.

Returning to the courtyard, Tang'er saw Lian'er sitting outside, drawing embroidery patterns. She leaned over and looked inside, lowered her voice and asked, "Is the girl still asleep?"

Lian'er also sighed, "I just fell asleep a while ago."

Tang'er couldn't help but read the message in her hand, so she had to put it on the kang table by the window of the Warm Pavilion and go to take care of other things in the house.

In the early summer when spring is over, the weather is not yet very hot.

The two windows were facing outward, and the bright sunlight shone on the green trees and flowers outside. The chirping of birds and warblers was faint, and a fresh breeze came in, blowing the thin pink curtains outside the bed.

Jiang Xuening lay sideways on the couch.

The thin spring quilt covers half of the body, draped over the chest. Perhaps these days have been too disoriented, and I have slept too much. During short naps in the afternoon, I always have some bad dreams.

One moment is the head of Zhou Yinzhi, and the other is the coffin of Shen Zhiyi.

Dreams are bizarre and unpredictable.

She walked in the palace covered in blood, surrounded by mist, as if something was desperately chasing after her. So her footsteps became increasingly panicked, and in the end, she ran wildly with all her might.

The familiar Kunning Palace is right in front of me.

She breathed a sigh of relief and rushed in, but only then did she stop when she saw a slender figure standing inside.

"Fang Yin -"

At this moment, Jiang Xuening instinctively shouted out.

The other person turned around, but looked at her with some confusion.

That was a delicate face, but the originally curved eyebrows were outlined with a hint of sharp coldness. I was accustomed to the calm and ups and downs in the business world, but there seemed to be some helplessness and bitterness in my eyes.

It's You Fangyin.

But not the You Fangyin of this lifetime.

After seeing Jiang Xuening, she was slightly stunned for a moment, but then sighed with some melancholy, "Even a wealthy city is useless. Betting on both sides will eventually offend people. Who could have imagined that the overturning of the overall situation originated from an old grudge more than twenty years ago? At this point, she naturally gave up wealth to save her life."

Old grudges, what old grudges?

Jiang Xuening wanted to ask a clear question, but the four words "wealthy half city" echoed in her mind like Hong Zhong and Da Lv, one after another, causing her to panic and wake up directly from this endless dream.

She instantly opened her eyes and flipped over to sit up.

The thin blanket slipped off her chest.

As the fresh breeze blew outside, Jiang Xuening's forehead and body felt a chill. It was only then that she realized she was sweating profusely, and even her middle coat was wet, pressing against her neck and feeling uncomfortable.

Forgot.

She must have forgotten something crucial.

In the past half month, due to her failure to prevent Shen Zhiyi from getting married, she has been unable to lift her spirits. She lives like a walking corpse or a headless fly, as if nothing attracts her attention and is not worth her attention.

===Kunning Section 216===

Is there really nothing else to do?

Wealthy half the city.

You Fangyin from the previous life

Bet on both sides?

After racking her brains and pondering repeatedly, she finally received a spiritual light that flashed through her thoughts like lightning. Jiang Xuening lifted her thin blanket and stood up from the bed, shouting loudly outside, "Tang'er Lian'er! Where is the letter from Shu?"

Lian'er was startled outside.

Upon hearing this, Tang Er quickly went to the Warm Pavilion and brought in the previous letter. She was about to hand it out, but Jiang Xuening reached out and snatched it, tearing open the envelope and reading it. It was not until then that the two maids saw that their own girl's decadence had been swept away in the past few days, replaced by a fierce and imposing presence, as if recalling something they had overlooked.

Tang'er couldn't help but worry that her emotions would fluctuate too much and she might have some accidents. She cautiously said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xuening quickly finished reading the letter, but felt heavy in her heart.

It's not that the situation at Ren's Salt Field is bad.

But it was because she had been decadent for these days that she finally remembered: Shen Zhiyi had gone to marry, and Yan Lin would indeed one day conquer the Tatars. But to welcome the princess and return to court, it was not something she could have done just by knowing the trajectory of her past life——

Missing a You Fangyin!

A You Fangyin from the previous life!

Four years after Shen Zhiyi went on a marriage in his previous life, the Tatars completely exposed their ambition and invaded the Central Plains.

Yan Lin took orders in the face of danger and worked hard to turn the tide.

When the enemy soldiers retreated and the princess's coffin was welcomed back, it was only then that she realized that the princess had already been tormented two years earlier and had even been forced to give birth, only because the Tatars did not want her to have a child with mixed ethnic bloodlines. Before the barbarians raised their troops, they killed the princess and sacrificed her flag. Even with noble bloodline and pride, one is only isolated and helpless in the situation, allowing others to exploit them!

At that time, the Xiao family was in great power, and the court had to use Yan Lin to resist the barbarians while also being wary of him supporting troops and valuing himself, which was why there were many difficulties in terms of food and supplies and the rear.

But the front line was not affected at all.

At that time, some people in the court became suspicious, but it was not until Xie Wei and Yan Lin rebelled that everyone knew that besides Lv Xian, who was involved in business, there was also the wealthy "You Bancheng" behind them!

War requires soldiers, and raising soldiers requires money.

In the previous life, they had the assistance of You Fangyin, who was wealthy and could rival the country, but what about this life?

Jiang Xuening slowly sat down.

She saved You Fangyin from this life, and as a result, You Fangyin from the previous life does not exist in this life. If she wants to fulfill her promise to Shen Zhiyi and even rescue her earlier than in the previous life, it means she needs an equal amount of silver, or even more, to make up for the gap she has created!

Can she do it?

No

It's not something that can be done, but she must do it no matter what!

A thin page of writing paper was slowly placed back on the table by Jiang Xuening, and she finally regained consciousness. She blinked and said, "Prepare your pen and ink, I want to reply."

*

In recent days, most of the civil servants in the court have been busy with the just passed imperial examination and the upcoming palace examination, and Jiang Boyou is no exception. Therefore, today I will not go to the Ministry of Revenue, but directly to the Hanlin Academy.

The emperor appointed Xie Wei as the chief executive officer of this imperial examination, and now he stands beside the desk, just receiving several answer sheets handed over by the officials below. The results of the examination have already been released, and now they are the best ones in the selection paper, which will be submitted to various bookstores.

Jiang Boyou looked up and saw that his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

What happened in front of the mansion that day really surprised him. If it weren't for what he had seen with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed it. Xie Wei, who had always looked at the righteous and noble people and the legacy of ancient sages, could have done such a frivolous act!

In the past, Xie Wei took care of Jiang Xuening, but Jiang Boyou never thought too much about it.

One of them discussed friendship with Xie Wei's peers, and when they called Ning Mai, they always regarded her as a junior; Er Ze Ning, the maid, went to the palace to accompany her while reading, and he also spoke up to ask for help; There have never been any rumors of Xie Wei not being close to women.

But that's the person

Recently, Jiang Boyou also wondered if there were any misunderstandings or if the two of them were in love, as their own girl was not someone who followed the rules?

He talked to Jiang Xuening twice.

He was concerned about the girl's lack of face and didn't want her to know about this matter. He didn't understand the relationship between her and Xie Wei, but instead insinuated. In Ning's words, there is no sense of exceeding the affection of teachers and students towards Xie Wei?

So, the problem with Xie Wei is still big!

Jiang Boyou felt a sense of unease in his heart. He hadn't said much to Xie Wei these days, and now he was only quietly taking care of his official duties. As there were fewer people waiting, the people who were looking for Xie Wei also left, and he finally walked over.

First, say, "Master Xie."

In the past, Jiang Boyou always referred to him as "Ju'an". Upon hearing these unfamiliar three words, Xie Weiguang knew that the other party had something to say. He turned around and smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiang, do you have anything to teach me?"

Jiang Boyou scrutinized him and said, "Young Master is young and promising, but she is also in her twenties and seventies this year. She has been married for a long time since she was young. The young woman is stubborn, but she is still in her nineties, and the world and people are not yet well understood. Young Master is his teacher, teaching her to understand etiquette and righteousness. As a father, I am very grateful. However, she may not be sensible yet, so I will rely more on Young Master to restrain her words and actions. Therefore, I also ask Young Master to be cautious in her words and actions, so as not to cause any misunderstandings when she is young. Young Master knows that I am not raising this daughter well, and I am afraid of causing any trouble."

There is a hint of warning in the words.

Xie Wei was still holding onto those few answer sheets in his hand, but he felt a slight displeasure in his heart. His smile remained unchanged, and he didn't take his words seriously. He only said, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't take care of him well, why don't he give it to me?"

How could Jiang Boyou have expected him to say such words?

His face suddenly pulled down.

He said in a cold voice, "Although Jiang is not as capable as Master Xie, there is a sentence to warn Master Xie! Although Miss Ning's reputation is not good, her heart is not bad. Master Xie should not harm anyone. If we are in love with each other, I will just turn a blind eye to it. But Master Jiang is Miss Ning's teacher, so being so frivolous, isn't it disrespectful of our ancestors' rituals and laws, and disregarding ethical principles?"

At the end of these words, their voices were slightly raised due to anger.

The other members of the Hanlin Academy, who were busy from afar, couldn't help but look over here. Obviously, they had heard the four words "ethical principles" clearly, and their faces couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

Obviously thinking: Why are these two still involved in ethical principles?

Xie Wei lowered his eyes.

Indeed, he is Mr. Ning Er. According to ethics, how can a teacher be with students and have personal relationships?

Just

The few pages of the answer sheet in his hand were casually pushed back to his desk, and Xie Wei looked back at Jiang Boyou. Wen Wenran said, "So what?"
