443 I want to see her
And after only half an hour, Cheng Yuan came over with his entourage and the subordinates who were sent to deliver invitations from Yinglian Mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Feng Yinglian thought that the guests would not be able to come to the door until at least noon, and he heard Liu Quan come to pass the word about a quarter of an hour ago, saying that there was something wrong in the Chongwenmen Tax Gate Yamen, which was under the jurisdiction of Heshen, although it was not a big deal, but because his grandson-in-law was not in Beijing now, there were countless people who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes, and he was afraid that others would handle it improperly, so he went to check the situation in person.
It happened that the main lord was not at home, and the servants in the house rushed to the Yinglian Mansion after receiving the invitation for a moment, and Cheng Yuan, who rushed to the Yinglian Mansion, invited him into the front hall to watch tea, but only found Feng Jiwen and told him that the Zhongyong Gong had arrived.
Feng Shuzhi, who had just arrived at Tang Courtyard, saw that Feng Jiwen was going to the front hall to meet the guests after packing up, so he wanted to go with him.
He didn't know much about Cheng Yuan, but he was a little vaguely unaware, but these days when he was with Yongfan Yongcao, he always heard them talk about Cheng Yuan's heroic deeds, and there was inevitably some awe and yearning in his heart.
Unexpectedly, he was splashed by Feng Jiwen with a basin of cold water.
"What are you going to do?" Feng Jiwen glanced at him and stopped him from saying what he said next: "Didn't you say that Mr. Jin still has to check his homework this afternoon? ”
"......" Feng Shuzhi pulled a face, and opened his mouth to refute that he was not a person who liked to join in the fun, but he saw that Feng Jiwen didn't stop for a moment, and left the main hall with Xiaoxian.
Cheng Yuan, who was wearing a dark brown dark striped cardigan gown, was sitting alone in the hall, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he stood up.
"Cheng Shibo. ”
Feng Jiwen stepped into the hall and bowed slightly to Cheng Yuan.
"No need to be polite. Cheng Yuan made a gesture of support from afar, looking at Feng Jiwen's eyes, which were slightly different from the past.
He expected that Feng Yinglian suddenly invited him to come over this time, most likely because of Feng Jiwen's instructions, so he hurried over.
Feng Jiwen withdrew from the superfluous subordinates, leaving only the knowing fairy by her side.
"Would she like to see me?"
Cheng Yuan opened his mouth and asked, his tone did not fluctuate much, but it was indescribably complicated.
Feng Jiwen didn't answer, paused for a moment, and said: "The concubine asked her nephew to pass the word to Shibo - what happened back then was indeed her affection, and she was ashamed of Shibo first, but time has passed, more than 30 years have passed, and I ask Shibo to let go of the obsession in her heart as soon as possible and forget her." ”
Cheng Yuan's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes changed unpredictably.
Let go of the obsession in your heart as soon as possible and forget her?
She said it with ease.
Does she know that it has been more than 30 years?
Cheng Yuan clenched his fists, suppressed the many emotions that couldn't help but surge in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.
Frankly speaking, when I first saw her last night, apart from the indescribable shock and ecstasy, the rest was the resentment after seeing her indifference.
But after a sleepless night, he thought about it a lot, but after all, he couldn't complain.
He knew better than anyone what kind of person she was.
Therefore, these 'prevarication words' that Feng Jiwen passed into his ears were still chilling when he heard them, but he didn't believe them.
And whether he forgets or not, it is not up to her to decide.
"I want to see her. Cheng Yuan said bluntly.
Because she couldn't bear it, Feng Jiwen said with some hesitation: "The concubine said it...... There was nothing to say between her and Cheng Shibo, so there was no need to see each other again. ”
This is Concubine Guo's original words, she understands Cheng Yuan just as Cheng Yuan understands her, and she knows that he will not give up easily, so she confessed such decisive words to Feng Jiwen in advance.
"Since she knows that she is the first to be affectionate and has deceived me for more than 30 years, she should at least make a personal parity with me to be justified. Cheng Yuan didn't say anything else, just said.
He had to see her.
Feng Jiwen heard the insistence between his words, and could only say: "The concubine has just been summoned to the palace today to serve the queen mother, and I don't know when I will be able to leave the palace. ”
She was not a party to the case, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to resort to this 'delaying tactic'.
"It's okay, I'll just wait. Cheng Yuan didn't change his mind: "If she can't leave the palace for a long time, I have a way to meet her." ”
"......" Feng Jiwen nodded with a slightly complicated face, although she knew that she couldn't interfere too much in this matter, but seeing Cheng Yuan's attitude, she couldn't help but think that she had to find an opportunity to enter the palace as soon as possible, so that the concubine would know what Cheng Yuan's attitude was, so that if he really found Cheng Yuan in the palace, the concubine would not be able to deal with it.
After talking to Feng Jiwen about this, because of his chaotic mood, Cheng Yuan had no intention of staying in Yinglian's Mansion any longer, but today he was going to the banquet, and there was no reason to leave, so he had to wait for Feng Yinglian to come back from the tax customs Yamen, and he responded with some polite words absentmindedly.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yinglian opened his mouth to stay.
He only said that he had to ask for advice on some official duties, but he did not say what official duties he was.
Cheng Yuan was puzzled.
He is not in Beijing all the year round, and he is a military general of the feudal territory, what intersection can he have with Feng Yinglian, the Minister of Internal Affairs, in terms of official duties?
It wasn't until the two of them came to the outer study that Cheng Yuan opened his mouth to ask.
"I don't know what Lord Yinglian wants to talk to Cheng about?"
Cheng Yuan has always been straightforward in doing things, and Feng Yinglian is not a procrastinator, but what he wants to ask Cheng Yuan about today...... But he can't open the skylight and speak brightly.
"Official business is indeed nonsense, but I just want to find an excuse to stay loyal and brave for more time and talk about it. Feng Yinglian said with a smile, and motioned for Cheng Yuan to sit down first.
Xu is from a war background, and because he has been in the foreign office for a long time, Cheng Yuan really does not like these curved ways of the Beijing Chinese official, plus he is full of thoughts at the moment, if it is not for the relationship between He Heng and Yinglian Mansion, and seeing Feng Yinglian's words so 'tactful', I am afraid that he will not be able to sit still.
Feng Yinglian is indeed a casual gesture, talking about his former colleagues from the past in the capital, so that people can't hear the main topic for a long time.
"I had heard Zhizhai mention earlier that his early father, Lord Changbao, was close friends with Zhongyong Gong. Feng Yinglian seemed to mention it inadvertently, with a slight temptation in his heart.
"Definitely. Speaking of his former old friend, Cheng Yuan nodded without thinking.
He doesn't like to have deep friendships with people in his life, and the only person who can be called a close friend is Chang Bao.
"I vaguely heard that Lord Chang Bao died of illness in Fujian back then, but I don't know what the illness was?" Feng Yinglian asked casually.
Cheng Yuan realized the abnormality when he heard this, and raised his head to look at Feng Yinglian.
