Chapter Seventy-Seven: The most lively scoundrel, envious like a true gentleman
"If you can let her meet, Qi Shizi won't recognize her as me, right?"
The delicate figure turned out from behind the rockery, Qi Xuan wanted to answer, but he was happy at first sight, folding the fan and pointing at Su Yunjiao, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaohua, look at your appearance, isn't it my long-lost sister!"
Su Yunjiao frolicked with Wen and Han all the way before, and when she came, in order to hide her whereabouts, she was chopped by plum branches, and the wine she drank in the warm pavilion before, she was really similar to Qi Xuan at this time. I saw her eyes roll, and she also smiled: "I don't know this, why don't I help you ask my sixth brother?"
"Hey, this isn't fun!" Qi Xuan squinted and waved his fan, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the wine pot in Su Yunjiao's hand, and he was not surprised, and said in surprise: "Sister Jiaohua, you ...... Drinking?"
"Hmm. Su Yunjiao tapped her head, hooked her fingers and shook it in front of Qi Xuan, and smiled with her eyebrows, "Next time you invite the prince to drink, I wonder if the prince is willing to appreciate his face?"
"Sister Jiaohua has a treat, how dare this son not appreciate his face?" Qi Xuan smiled and asked again, "It's just, doesn't your sixth brother care?"
Su Yunjiao blinked, spread her little hands, and seemed a little helpless in her words: "Before I could speak, he smiled and told me, don't drink too often, don't drink too much." β
was accidentally bumped into by the sixth brother during drinking, and she planned to admit her mistake and promise the sixth brother to quit this hobby. Who knows, she only called out to the sixth brother in a soft tone, and the sixth brother nodded to her forehead and said with a smile, "Everything has a degree, don't drink often, don't drink too much, and Jiaojiao is allowed to get drunk occasionally." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving her stunned in place, listening to Pingxiang on the side sigh, "There is no one who knows the girl than the sixth young master!"
When Qi Xuan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say, so he only sighed: "He is really ......."
"Don't talk about this, since you've met it, why don't you tell me what's fun on your side. I've done the math, and there are quite a few people here today. Su Yunjiao asked with a smile, "I heard that the 'Four Princes of the Capital' have arrived, so I think it should be very lively." β
"Funny?" Qi Xuan glared at her angrily, and said, "If it's interesting, can I still run here to sleep?" There is no one to talk to, I am almost suffocated to death by them!"
Qi Xuan's words were not surprising to Su Yunjiao, after all, it wasn't that people couldn't play together all the way, but after a while, he felt that something was wrong: "Isn't the Shen family's brother here, doesn't he talk to you, or where did you offend him?"
"If I really offend him, he will just pester me and tell me a lot of truth until I admit my mistake. Thinking of Shen Zihuai's stupid and stubborn temperament, Qi Xuan couldn't help but shudder, "Sister Jiaohua doesn't know, there is another reason for this." Although we have a good personal relationship, we never put it on the table, except for me and Lao He, the rest are just nodding friends out of the scene in the eyes of outsiders. β
"Why?"
"Naturally, in order to relax the opponent, not only our juniors, but also the parents are the same, and even deliberately created an atmosphere of discord between civil and military. β
"No wonder my grandfather's family doesn't seem to have much contact with the Xun, Xie, and Shen families on weekdays, so that's the case. Su Yunjiao nodded, and immediately remembered what she had just seen, and said, "Speaking of this, according to my observation, the Zhong family is the one who values literature over martial arts." After that, he told Qi Xuan what he had seen and heard, including some self-analysis, one by one.
Qi Xuan listened, whistled, and praised: "Yo, it's good, I can see it." The Zhong family's contempt for military attachΓ©s is brought out of their bones, even if they are now trending for various purposes, and if they want to change it, it will be difficult to change it for a while. β
Su Yunjiao shook her head when she heard this, it is true that the old ones can hide it, but the small ones can't hide it, Zhong Ting's attitude towards Qi Xuanzhi just now can already explain everything, so he said: "Civil and military are light, and they have been the same since ancient times." The Zhong family has always boasted of generations of poetry and books, and etiquette is heirloom, so it is normal for this to happen. Since the Zhong family is more literate, then I want to know, how powerful is the Zhong family among civil officials?"
Qi Xuan didn't answer in a hurry, but asked with a smile: "Since Sister Jiaohua is interested in this, why don't you ask your sixth brother, he knows more than me." Could it be that the two of you are arguing again?"
Su Yunjiao's apricot eyes rolled horizontally: "Thank you for bothering, our brother and sister are fine! He has too many things to worry about, and I don't want to bother him with this." "The sixth brother has been seeing the beginning and the end of the dragon recently, thinking that it is for the sake of entering Shu and some things she doesn't know about, planning and arranging, so she won't distract him.
Qi Xuan stared at her for a long time, and said very seriously: "This made him listen, and it is estimated that he was so moved that he couldn't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest." Su Yunjiao glared coldly, Qi Xuan smiled, closed his gaze, and replied solemnly: "The power of the Zhong family is much greater than you think. The Zhong family has been released for many years, and its power may not be obvious in Beijing, but in the area of the Huai River in Jinling, it can be said to be the dominant party. β
Su Yunjiao frowned, the Zhong family supports the three princes, their family is on the side of the prince, the two sides can be said to be mortal enemies, and she is naturally unhappy when she hears that her enemies are powerful.
"So, you just quarrel with Miss Zhong Er, don't really offend others to death, even if she doesn't have that mind, it's hard to guarantee that her family won't think about it. After Qi Xuan finished speaking, he added, "Although it is your life and death sooner or later, you have to wait until you are fully prepared, and then start fighting, do you say yes, Sister Jiaohua." β
"Yes, yes, the prince taught me. Su Yunjiao responded with her mouth, but she silently slandered in her heart, I can see that she is no less offended than I offend! At the end, Su Yunjiao said again: "Everyone in the world is Tao, people go tea and cool, everyone can see that the Zhong family is coming back this time, it is easy not to go back, it is okay for a short time, after a long time, they can really still firmly control the two Huai area? You must know that there are more grain taxes in the world than two Huai. Su Yunjiao pointed to the sky, "Can you agree?"
The emperor transferred the Zhong family back this time, but it did not save the influence of the Zhong family in the Lianghuai area south of the Yangtze River.
Qi Xuan was about to answer, but Su Yunjiao continued: "Okay, let's not speculate on the thoughts of the big man for the time being, just talk about you, can you agree?"
"Of course I can't say yes. Qi Xuan shook his head and smiled easily, he winked at Su Yunjiao, and said, "Sister Jiaohua, don't worry, someone has already fallen in that game of chess in Jiangnan." β
Su Yunjiao's eyes rolled, propped up a flattering smile, and said, "The prince might as well reveal it to the little sister." β
Qi Xuan folded his fan and shook it slowly, and decisively refused: "Don't say, don't say, it's boring to talk too much." β
Su Yunjiao begged twice, but seeing that Qi Xuan still shouldn't be, she gave up, and then said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you." β
"Hey!" Qi Xuan sighed heavily, half joking and half complaining, "I knew that Sister Jiaohua had so many problems, so I should have pretended not to find you and left early." β
"If you don't want to answer, you can leave at any time, and I won't stop you. Su Yunjiao said with a smile.
"Don't stop it now, I'll tell your brother about Xiao Hei when I go back, you think I don't know!" Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, first guessed maliciously, and then smiled, "Okay, okay, if there are any other problems, this son will help you solve them together." β
"Qi Shizi is resourceful, talented and talented, and he doesn't know how many streets he has when he throws off Bai Guanzhi, and this little sister must be difficult for the world's prince. Su Yunjiao praised two sentences, and Qi Xuan nodded again and again, especially when she heard Su Yunjiao say that Bai Guan was not as good as him, she read in a low voice: "It is worthy of being a Jiaohua sister, with vision, vision!"
Su Yunjiao smiled and said: "My question is simply like this, someone has a thing, something I like very much, everyone knows to like it, and the person who owns it doesn't like that kind of thing, but she just takes it with her all day long, what is her purpose?"
"She doesn't get along well with you?"
Su Yunjiao touched her chin and said, "Sort of, according to her words, we have a grudge." β
"What did she say, so you don't think so?" Qi Xuan began to wonder who Su Yunjiao was talking about.
"That's not the point. β
"Well, since they all said that there is a grudge, it must not be as simple as showing off, she must be trying to harm you. β
"I know that, the key is how to solve it. β
"Is this valuable?"
Su Yunjiao thought about the handkerchief, at most the embroidery was more delicate, it was nothing, so she shook her head and said, "It's just an ordinary thing." β
"That's easy. Qi Xuan smiled, "You just need to make that thing all over the world, it's best for Miss Jingzhong to have a copy, the more fanfare the better, so that no one thinks that the thing is yours." β
Su Yunjiao's eyes lit up, and she was about to open her mouth to praise him, but Qi Xuan's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said to her: "You go quickly, someone is coming." Su Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, and didn't make any action for a while, this garden full of female dependents, if you want to avoid it, he should avoid it.
And Qi Xuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and before she could speak, she said first: "Listening to the footsteps, the person who came should be a man, and it is estimated that Zhong Hui sent him to find me." β
Su Yunjiao suddenly understood, no longer hesitated, nodded at Qi Xuan, turned around and trotted away.
Su Yunjiao's figure disappeared into his eyes, and a figure turned out from the plum forest, Qi Xuan was slightly surprised when he saw the person coming, and then sneered: "I only thought that I was Zhong Hui's follower, but it was Bai Gongzi who didn't think it would be you, when did Bai Gongzi start to fall willingly?"
"Ordinary people are afraid that please don't move you. Bai Guanzhi said indifferently, Qi Xuan had never said a good word about him, and he didn't bother to fight with him.
"Heh, I don't think it's that simple, right?" Qi Xuan sneered, squinting his eyes and looking up and down Bai Guanzhi's body, trying to find some clues.
Unexpectedly, Bai Guanzhi generously admitted: "I do have something to discuss with Brother Qi." β
"Oh?" Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes getting cold, "I don't want to hear you." β
Qi Xuan's attitude, Bai Guanzhi didn't care at all, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "The Dingguo Mansion is not sincere in treating the third prince, and the foolish brother wants to ask the virtuous brother to withdraw from this dispute. "Even if the three princes don't want to believe that the Dingguo Mansion has other intentions, the Zhong family knows it very well, and they haven't made any moves so far, and they don't know what they are planning. But no matter what they planned, the Bai family was unwilling to wait.
Everyone knows what the three princes want, and in this regard, the Liguo Mansion is indeed inferior to the Dingguo Mansion. Now that the Zhong family has returned to Beijing, the power of the three princes has reached a higher level, and many people have faintly moved to take refuge.
He was in a hurry, but Qi Xuan was not in a hurry at all, and said leisurely: "What's the panic, when this world has had enough, he will naturally quit." And don't brother, brother, when will this son be called a brother to you!"
"Isn't the Qi family afraid that he won't be able to get out when the time comes? Even if the Qi family has its own magic method, it's not a good thing to provoke the hostility of the three princes, right?"
Qi Xuan didn't think it was going to offend sooner or later, does Bai Gongzi think that if my Qi family withdraws at this time, the three princes will not be hostile?"
Bai Guanzhi said with a smile: "If the Qi family is willing to withdraw at this time, the Bai family will compensate accordingly." β
Qi Xuan didn't answer immediately, but thought about it carefully, and said after a while: "Is this your intention, or the Bai family's intention?"
Bai Guan was stunned for a moment, the matter had not yet been discussed with his family, but he replied truthfully: "It is my intention." Then he added, "But I am confident that I will convince my fathers and ancestors that they will agree." β
"Don't talk so much. Qi Xuan waved his folding fan and asked leisurely, "Even if I should do this, you may not be able to meet the conditions I offer." β
Seeing that he seemed to be relieved, Bai Guanzhi immediately continued: "No matter what the conditions are, the Bai family will definitely try their best to meet them!" In the long run, it is better to suffer losses in the future than to suffer losses at this time.
Qi Xuan folded his fan and stopped, looked at Bai Guanzhi, and said with a smile: "I can represent the Qi family, can Bai Gongzi really represent the Bai family?"
A sentence poked Bai Guan in the sore spot, which made him smile bitterly, don't look at his infinite scenery outside, but in fact he has no power, there is a splendid strategy, but there is no place to do it for the time being. And Qi Xuan ...... That's what he envies.
"So, find someone who can talk. β
After speaking, he jumped in the direction of Nahai Zhai and laughed.
Bai Guanzhi looked up at Qi Xuan's figure as far away as the wind, and sighed softly, this is also where he envies.
