225, the first entry into the cloud
"Welcome the city lord back to the city!" The sound of shouts on the city tower shook the sky.
Jun Wuhuan looked at Chu Ling who was looking at him curiously, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Mingyao and said lightly, "Go into the city." Mingyao touched his nose. The city lord seemed not very satisfied with his arrangement. Don't ask him why he could see that he was not satisfied with the mask. The gloomy aura on his body had already explained a little.
"Please please, Miss Ling, please." Mingyao laughed dryly and said, "Miss Ling has done a lot this time. Don't be polite when you come to Cangyun City for the first time."
Chu Ling nodded with a smile, "Young Master Ming is so serious."
The two were surrounded by a group of people and entered the city lord's mansion. After entering the hall, Chu Ling had the time to look at the people who came with Mingyao to greet them. Except for Mingyao, Qingyishui'er were all strangers. There were seven in total, including five men and one woman. Except for a younger young man, the rest of the youngest one was also in their early thirties.
Jun Wuhuan looked at Chu Ling and said, "A Ling, these are all the mainstays in Cangyun City. These four are clearly the main generals of Cangyun Fourth Camp, Bai Xing, Yu Fanzhou, Chen Huai, and Jiangjishi. These two are the internal and external managers of the city lord's mansion, Wu Chenghe, Xu Muzhen. And this one is Huo Jie, deputy general of the White Tiger Camp."
As expected, they were all important figures in Cangyun City, and all the leaders and generals of Cangyun's fourth camp were here. This battle gave her a lot of face.
After Jun Wuhuan finished speaking, everyone bowed and said in unison, "I've seen Miss Ling."
Chu Ling nodded with a smile, "You are polite, generals."
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Subordinate Xu Muzhen, if Miss Ling doesn't dislike calling me Zhenniang. If Miss Ling has any needs in Cangyun City, just ask her to order her." Chu Ling looked at Jun Wuhuan, and Jun Wuhuan said, "Zhengniang is an old man from the Jun family. Now she is the inner manager of the city lord's mansion. If there is anything, A Ling can ask her to do, without any rituals."
Chu Ling nodded and smiled at Zhenniang, "Then it will be a blessing to Zhenniang."
Zhenniang looked at Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan, and the smile on her face became more and more obvious.
Everyone sat down again, and Mingyao smiled and said, "If it weren't for Miss Ling's strong help this time, the city lord's body wouldn't have been so easy to heal. It also caused Miss Ling to be seriously injured. I am really grateful to me in Cangyun City."
Everyone actually didn't know what Chu Ling did for Cangyun City. They just heard Mingyao say that the city was the main person who brought his sweetheart back and then came to greet him. Normally, not to mention that Jun Wuhuan left the city for ten days and half a month, even if he came back three to five months, he wouldn't have such a big battle to greet him. After all, everyone was very busy, and Jun Wuhuan himself didn't like this boring red tape. However, after hearing Mingyao say this, everyone's eyes looked at Chu Ling immediately became different. Mingyao was in charge of Mingjiansi and well-informed, and would not lie about such things. Thinking about the fact that he had not seen the city lord for more than half a month ago, everyone suddenly realized. The eyes of Chu Ling were more grateful and admirable.
Chu Ling naturally understood Mingyao's meaning, and smiled at him and said, "Young Master Ming is serious, so you don't have to be polite about some trivial matters."
"You really don't have to be polite." Jun Wuhuan held Chu Ling's hand and smiled faintly, and said to everyone who looked at him, "A Ling is his own person, so you really don't have to be too polite."
Everyone knew it and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that they were really going to have a wedding in Cangyun City. Although they were not very clear about the origin of this Miss Ling, they were very good in the world just by looking at their appearance. They also heard from Mr. Ming that she was seriously injured in order to find medicine for the city lord. When Mr. Huan Yu left, he warned them not to offend this Miss Ling. The city lord can make the city lord active and get the recognition of these two people, the beautiful girl and the determined to look at the city lord are obviously the most suitable future city lord wife.
"Congratulations to the city lord, congratulations to the madam!" The people in the army have always been heroic and say whatever they think of.
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, and couldn't come back to his senses. Jun Wuhuan chuckled and said, "If A Ling doesn't dislike it, it would be nice to call him a wife." In this way, he had never asked A Ling for a marriage, which was really too... Although A Ling's father was far away in Pingjing, A Ling might not recognize him, and Master Tuoba Xingye is even more inconvenient now. However, there must be a procedure for a marriage proposal. Thinking of this, Jun Wuhuan immediately began to think about this matter.
Jun Wuhuan left Cangyun City for a few days, and a lot of things had been piled up in the study. He had to take Chu Ling to the guesthouse in person and entrust Zhenniang to the study to discuss matters. The city lord's mansion is not small, but it is very quiet and solemn. He didn't see a few maids and servants along the way. Watching Jun Wuhuan leave, Zhenniang just smiled and said, "The city lord is not young anymore. We old people are worried about the city lord's marriage every day. Unfortunately, the city lord's idea is right, and we are subordinates and we are not easy to interrupt. Now that the lady is here, our subordinates are worthy of the ancestors of the Jun family."
Chu Ling was rarely embarrassed and said, "Zhen Niang should call me Miss Ling, or A Ling."
Zhenniang thought for a while and said with a smile, "That's right, it's not good to get married yet. The girl's reputation is all those rough-fitting. I'm confused." She turned around and asked the city lord when she planned to start the marriage. Zhenniang led Chu Ling in while telling Chu Ling about her family background.
Jun Wuhuan said that Zhenniang was an old man from the Jun family, and it was not nonsense. In the past, Jun Wuhuan, the Jun family had bloodlines, but Jun family members and servants escaped. Zhenniang's father was originally a subordinate of Jun Wuhuan's grandfather, but later he was injured on the battlefield and became the housekeeper of the Jun family. Zhenniang could be regarded as watching Jun Wuhuan grow up. Zhenniang escaped as a married daughter. Later, because her husband's family was afraid of being implicated, she was expelled from the house. Zhenniang grew up in the Jun family and was taught by her father since she was a child. Although she was abandoned by her husband's family and was alone in a small business, she was still quite a bit of a good deal. Until Jun Wuhuan established Lingxiao Business Company and sent someone to find her, Zhenniang was also a decisive person. She threw down her hard-working business and followed Jun Wuhuan to do business.
Therefore, Zhenniang and Jun Wuhuan's relationship is naturally more close than that of ordinary subordinates, and the look of Chu Ling is much more cordial than that of generals and managers.
"Girl, this Fenghuayuan is adjacent to Canghaiyuan where our city lord lives. It is one of the two largest courtyards in the city lord's mansion. A few months ago, the lord ordered me to have someone sort it out. But I didn't know it was prepared for the girl." Zhenniang said with a smile on her face, "Look at me, but if there is something you don't like, I will immediately ask someone to clean up."
Chu Ling looked at the elegant and quiet garden in front of her. No matter how picky the person was, he would not be able to say that he was dissatisfied with the words. The area of the garden is indeed not small, with green tiles flying, and layers of pavilions. There are galleries and pavilions in the garden, with curved water flowing quietly. The flowers and trees are quiet and fragrant. Even the Princess Wu'an Mansion given to Chu Ling by the Northern Jin Emperor, there is no such exquisite and elegant garden without any craftsmanship.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "If I'm not satisfied, wouldn't my eyes grow into the sky? If there is a lot of hard work, Zhenniang doesn't need to change it."
Zhenniang said, "It's good that the girl is satisfied. I'll work hard all the way, just take a rest for a while. My subordinates have asked someone to prepare some food, so the girl will first cushion her belly. The city lord will hold a banquet to welcome the girl later."
Chu Ling nodded and thanked him. Zhenniang personally sent the person into the bedroom. Two maids had already been waiting.
The two maids came forward to meet Chu Ling and reported their names to each other. After Zhenniang left, she respectfully greeted Chu Ling and waited for her to rest. Chu Ling did not develop the habit of asking for help in the past and the two maids had obviously received orders. Chu Ling said that they would stand aside respectfully and hand over what Chu Ling needed from time to time. They were neither flattering nor arrogant, and even the people who had just met would never feel uncomfortable, which made Chu Ling quite fond of it.
When Chu Ling woke up, the sky outside was already dark. She rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. Since she was injured, her spirit was much worse. She was originally planning to take a break, but she didn't want to sleep for more than an hour.
"Miss is awake?" A gentle female voice sounded, and Bai Lu Xueyuan and two walked in with water and a gold-painted box. The feet were gentle and there was almost no sound, and their breathing was also smooth and powerful. These two maids were obviously both martial arts practitioners.
Chu Ling asked, "When is it?"
Bai Er said, "Go back to the girl, I just arrived at the middle of You hour. Manager Xu said that if the girl wakes up, please wash up first. The city lord will come to invite the girl for dinner later."
Chu Ling nodded, got up and got out of bed and walked to the side to wash. Bai Er Xueyuan next to him was not idle either. One took out two sets of clothes from the closet, and the other had already opened the gold-painted box in front of the dressing table to select accessories from it. When Chu Ling finished washing, Bai Er asked, "Which clothes do the girl like?"
Chu Ling took a look and found that one was embroidered with peony patterns on white background, while the other was light blue with golden patterns on white background... It looked strange and familiar.
In a flash, Chu Ling remembered where he had seen this dress, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. After pondering for a while, he pointed to the light blue group and said, "Just this one."
Bai Er smiled and said, "Miss, the girl has a good look. This dress was sent by the city lord just ordered someone to send it in the afternoon."
Chu Ling naturally knew that no matter which piece of clothes she had just arrived in Cangyun City, she could not be driven out in a few days. Naturally, she prepared them in advance. She was amused and felt particularly warm and comforting. She let Bai Lu Xue Yuan put on her clothes, and then sat down in front of the dressing mirror and asked Xue Yuan to put on her hair and put on makeup. Bai Lu helped hand over the things, and smiled and said, "Miss is so beautiful, no one looks better than a girl."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I think you are all martial arts practitioners, it's too aggrieved to come to serve me." Bai Lu Xue Yuan and the others were startled and said, "But there is a place where I can't serve well, so I'll ask the girl to punish me." Chu Ling was also stunned by the appearance of the two of them, and shook her head and said, "What are you doing? I just see that your martial arts should be pretty good, and it's a bit in awesome."
Seeing that Chu Ling was not dissatisfied with him, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Yuan shook her a letter and said, "How can we feel wronged when we can serve the girl? The girl didn't know that the two of them were selected to serve the city lord's wife. The city lord saved our lives and taught us martial arts knowledge, just to be able to serve the wife one day. Unfortunately, the city lord refused to get married for a long time, so the sisters who had previously selected had to do other chores early. Now the girl is finally here, which shows that our luck is really good."
Chu Ling was a little surprised, "There are still such rules in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Bai Er calmed down and shook her head and said, "It's not the rule set by the city lord. I heard from the head of the city lord that it was the original rule of the clan. The city lord doesn't care about this, but the head of the head valued it. What's more, the city lord's identity is, and it's not just who is a future wife. If you are a lady with no power to tie a chicken, it's too late to train people. If you transfer from another place, you're afraid you won't be able to take advantage of it."
Chu Ling understood why the Jun family had such rules. The Jun family had a lot of military generals from generation to generation, and there were countless enemies and political enemies. However, they might not be the same after marrying the general, and even after the general, they might not be able to practice martial arts. Therefore, the people who serve around them are naturally the best person who can protect the mistress of the family.
"I see."
Xue Yuan said, "Miss, don't be a martial arts practitioner. My subordinates are best at dressing up. No matter what makeup the girl likes, I will definitely satisfy the girl." Chu Ling looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in agreement. Xue Yuan is younger and looks more lively, but she really has a pair of skilled hands. Although it is not clear in the bronze mirror, her slender fingers can be seen flying between her hair. But in a moment, a simple but elegant bun is formed in her hand.
Bai Er handed over a hairpin matching her clothes, and smiled and said, "I am not as clever as Xue Yuan, but I know a little about medical diet, and I hope the girl will not give up."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Cangyun City is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. How can such a wonderful person be disgusted?"
Jun Wuhuan walked in and saw Chu Ling sitting by the dressing table, smiling at the two girls with delicate peony flowers embroidered on her light blue clothes, making her look precious and elegant. However, the bright smile on her face added a bit of agility and vitality. Her hair was tied into a simple bun, and a sapphire hairpin made of golden silk was worn between her hair. The slender tassels swayed gently on her cheeks as she moved, making the person sitting more beautiful and beautiful, and the movements were like picturesque.
"A Ling."
"City Lord." Bai Lu and Xue Yuan immediately restrained their smiles and retreated respectfully when they saw Jun Wuhuan. Chu Ling turned around and looked at Jun Wuhuan standing at the door and smiled, "Why are you here?"
Jun Wuhuan came over, reached out to smooth her hair, held the hairpin between her hair and said softly, "Didn't you say that, come here and invite A Ling to the banquet."
Chu Ling let him stand up with help. Jun Wuhuan looked at her carefully and said with a smile, "It looks good."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "What's good to look like? Do I look good or my clothes look good?"
Jun Wuhuan said softly, "Of course, A Ling looks good."
Chu Ling smiled and said, "So, Lord Yan thinks my clothes are not good-looking?"
Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "No, I think no matter how beautiful the clothes in this world are, they are just A Ling's foil, and they can't match A Ling's three-point beauty."
Chu Ling was satisfied, "Lord Yan is really good at speaking."
Jun Wuhuan said, "I am sincere."
"I am sincere too." I really think you are very good at speaking. Jun Wuhuan was very satisfied and said, "It is a blessing I have cultivated for many lifetimes."
“…”
The two girls standing next to them lowered their heads and wanted to turn themselves into quails. Their city lord... When did they speak so well and make girls happy? Could it be that they were possessed by something?
