Chapter 182: Shouyang Chen (II) The return of the missing person

Previous Chapter

Yixuanxi sent Chen Ruiyang out of the room, and Zheng Duo smiled and gestured for Su Lan to sit at the end of his bed.

Xuanxi, who turned to come back, walked to the table in the inner room and picked up the teapot. Su Lan, who was talking to Zheng Duo, smiled slightly, just looked at the door, Li Yuan automatically and consciously walked in, took the tea tray in his hand, Xuan Xi handed it over, and showed a smile, and his whole face was much gentler.

"My injuries are not serious, and I may have been a little resentful at first, but at this time, I am also in a peaceful state of mind, so you don't need to worry. When Zheng Duo laughed, a pair of peach blossom eyes, the corners of the eyes were full of fine lines, and under the slightly pale complexion, the years became more and more apparent, "This is thanks to Xuanlang's thoughtfulness." ”

"Uncle is out. Xuan Xi shook his head, took two cups of tea from the tea tray in Li Yuan's hand, handed them to Zheng Duo and Su Lan respectively, and then sat down on the long couch under the south window on the side.

Su Lan also showed a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were kind, and she glanced at Li Yuan, who nodded and exited the inner room.

"Since my uncle is safe, I will not be polite. At present, the news of the accident between the two of you in Beijing should not have spread, Your Majesty, I am afraid that there is still room for Longxi. Su Lan looked at Xuanxi on the side as she spoke, "The matter of Kuyin is the first place, and in order to achieve this goal, Your Majesty can give in to the next things." ”

"Your Majesty is now standing up for the matter of concealment, so naturally he can't fold in Longxi. Although Zheng Duo said this, his brows were already faintly furrowed, "However, if Li Jiangyuan acts like this, it may be difficult for His Majesty to get his wish." ”

"But before I left Beijing, I received a secret letter from Master Zhang Qi. There are a few letters in the secret compromise, and the things mentioned in the letters are all secret military and political affairs in Longxi, and the weight is not light. Su Lan looked at Xuanxi fixedly at this time, "I thought that Li Jiangyuan was most likely trying to attack Zhang Qi for this, but I didn't expect that Lord Zhang would be able to give this thing away under such circumstances." At this time, this secret fold was already on the desk of His Majesty and several heads of the family. ”

"Chen Hou talked to me yesterday, and the meaning of his words was that Li Jiangyuan was looking for our whereabouts now, and he couldn't find it, which meant to sell my personal favor, but it should also be true. Zhang Qi has also retaken charge of Gaoyang Mansion, which can also show that Guiyuan Hou's Mansion is jealous. ”

"Since Li Jiangyuan wants to know the whereabouts of the two of us so much, there is no need to hide it, the imperial court has no reason to dare to see people and sneak around in the dark. Zheng Duo smiled slightly, but his words were full of contempt, thinking that it was also to make Li Jiangyuan angry recently, "Not to mention the side, since Li Jiangyuan has the courage to kill a Qincha, he must have the courage to bear the consequences." ”

"Uncle is right. It's just that now your status is precious, and you are not suitable for this job. Su Lan nodded and smiled again, "Li Jiangyuan, if you don't show great respect to you for a day, you can just hang him for a day." I'm here for no other purpose, just to call on your door. We juniors can't do the next thing, and you have to go out of the way. The matter ahead, why should your old man lose this identity, let's just come. ”

After Su Lan said this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xuanxi, a pair of phoenix eyes, shining brightly, dazzling. Xuan Xi looked at her eyes, only felt that her heart was touched, and she didn't speak, she smiled and nodded.

"It's just that, uncle, I never knew anything along the way. Su Lan smiled slightly, looked at Zheng Duo and said, "This nobleman of Longxi seems to be very interesting. Except for the Li family, the other three major families and several small clans are no different from Qingyuan's style of acting. Only this Li family, acting seems to have no rules and regulations of half of the nobility. ”

"I actually put things like assassination on the bright side, and I don't do that game of wisdom at all, I just want to fight for my life with you. In this way, how can you be called the hero of Longxi?"

After Su Lan finished asking, she saw Xuan Xi and Zheng Duo looking at each other and smiling, as if they were very proud.

"Do you think Uncle is really hurt by them?"

"Is it still self-inflicted?"

"Exactly. ”

Su Lan showed the first real expression of the day, and she was surprised that she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Li Jiangyuan is not a crazy person, he dares to attack Xie Wei, someone in Beijing has already given him a reassuring pill, knowing that this Xie Wei is just pushed out by us, even if he is dead, it doesn't matter. ”

"But me and Master Zheng, how dare he do it?" Xuan Xi said this, then looked at Zheng Duo again, "Even if Mrs. Hui'an has some old things in her heart, Li Jiangyuan will not let her come in this kind of thing." This move is just to revitalize Zhang Qi's chess piece. ”

"In addition, you can also ask the deputy conductor to make you come to Longxi to sing this big drama together. ”

However, Li Jiangyuan is arrogant enough. We got up on our own, but we had to give him this chance. ”

Su Lan's face couldn't help but change a few times, from stunned to natural, and finally there was only a wry smile. Although Xuanxi was joking, she also knew that it was not an exaggeration.

Qin sent this to Longxi, the attitude of the imperial court was very ambiguous, not only was the number of forbidden troops around the two insufficient, but they also had a lot of concerns, just looking at it because they wanted to sit in the study with Li Jiangyuan and have a careful discussion. It's just that the attitude of this imperial court may not be the attitude of several families in Qingyuan. As the nobleman who holds great power in the imperial court, the most exclusive thing is that this new aristocratic who acts without taboos and is arrogant, and he is worried that Longxi will bend down along the steps given by the imperial court and go to the capital to get a piece of the pie. Zheng Duo's method seems to have learned Li Jiangyuan's previous methods, and it is not as delicate as the layout of the plot, and it is even a little rough, but in the here and now, it has a miraculous effect.

It is precisely because of what happened to the two of them that she was able to bring some meaning of Xingshi to ask for sin. It is more justifiable to bring a large number of soldiers from Beijing. Su Lan also admitted that these people are the waist poles of their actions.

As for the other thing, she wasn't quite sure.

Seeing her look, Zheng Duo guessed a few points in his heart, so he asked, "What did Duke Su explain to you when he was leaving?"

"You know, I once wrote a letter to Mrs. Hui'an, which said that Hui'an He De could call me a nephew. When Su Lan heard him ask such a question, she was sure of her previous conjecture and replied calmly, "You know, I have secretly read all these letters to my grandfather, but he didn't say anything. In this way, you can also know what kind of attitude the old man has. ”

When Zheng Duo heard this, he nodded, but his eyes made Su Lan a little incomprehensible, and he only felt that he seemed to be thinking far more than these words.

"Also, the bloody book sent to the capital before really scared us. Although Uncle Xuan is very calm, in the end. Su Lan didn't dwell on the topic of Fang Cai with Zheng Duo, so she only asked all the doubts about coming in one by one.

"It was a dangerous night. But the blood on it is not mine, but my guard. Xuan Xi rarely showed a little sadness, and his tone was a little weaker, "Li Jiangyuan's people were indeed murderous at that time, but there should still be people who realized who we were, and then they all withdrew." Sending that blood book was a thoughtless thought, but it also meant deliberately. ”

"Is it true that what is said therein?"

"Naturally, it's true. It's just that he worked hard for tens of thousands of taels of silver in the imperial court, and he worked hard for more than ten years, and he made wedding dresses for others. ”

"I thought that this was Li Jiangyuan's real means. He was able to tear his mouth in such a seemingly seamless net, no, he took it for himself, which is terrifying to think about. ”

"Right now, the advantage is back on our side. However, how to take advantage of the current situation needs to be cautious. Su Lan nodded, "What charter does my uncle have?"

"I want to ask you to meet your aunt. Zheng Duo nodded, "The grievances between the Su family and her, or the grievances between your grandfather and her, can't be related to you." You don't know anything about what happened back then, and I think Mrs. Hui'an understands this. ”

"Besides, your father was kind to this sister in the past. ”

"I see. Su Lan nodded, "Then I'll leave for Gaoyang tomorrow." ”

"I'm going with you. Xuan Xi suddenly spoke, which made Su Lan a little surprised.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Zheng Duo say: "I think the same way." I want to stay in Shouyang for a few more days, so that the Chen family can spit out a happy word. Gao Yang's situation, there is no need to be too cautious at the moment, so as long as you two grasp the scale, it doesn't hurt to be arrogant. Let them take a good look at what is called the style and bones of the Qingyuan aristocracy. ”

Su Lan sneered when she heard this, not for anything else, but for the anger that Zheng Duo couldn't hide.

"I'm also very worried about Zhang Qi. Xuan Xi's voice was flat into Su Lan's laughter, and when Su Lan looked over, he felt that his ears were faintly red, as if he was shy, and he was a little confused.

After saying a few more words, although Zheng Duo still spoke clearly, he was still a little tired on his face, and Su Lan was a little overwhelmed by the long distance, so they dispersed.

Xuanxi and Su Lan's guest house are next to each other, so they naturally go back together. Fang left Zheng Duo's courtyard, and Xuan Xi gestured to Su Lan with his eyes. Su Lan asked Li Yuan, who was worried, to leave first, this Chen family's courtyard is now the safest place in Longxi, and she doesn't need Li Yuan to protect her.

After Li Yuan turned around and walked away, Xuan Xi smiled slightly, and walked side by side with her to the depths of the Chen family's garden.

There is still some summer heat in the capital, but Longxi is already an autumn scenery. Although this garden is not big, it is rare and exquisite, and it is also lit up in all directions, which has some elegant meaning. Xuanxi stopped in front of a rockery and only looked at Su Lan.

Su Lan couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment, but felt that his gaze on himself was back and forth, and it was a little hot and uncomfortable.

After a while, he followed his line of sight and touched his long hair that had been fully tied, and the black jade crown that was tied up, but he was relieved, and his tone was a little playful: "Well, I have also performed the crown salute now, and I can't say that I haven't dried up my milk, so I'm a heavy minister in vain." ”

"Hmm. Xuanxi nodded, his expression was very serious, "I am very sorry that I could not participate in your crown ceremony." ”

Su Lan didn't expect that he would say such a sentence so solemnly, and he was a little speechless for a while.

"I received your gift, the jade crown and jade hairpin are all extraordinary, and when I saw it, I was very surprised. Su Lan thought for a while and said, "One is that I don't know that Xuan Lang attaches so much importance to my crown ceremony, and the other is that I vaguely see that you have a lot of money in hand." ”

"You should only think of it as a birthday gift, as for the crown gift. ”

"Why, when you know my hole cards, you feel that I don't count the crown salute?"

Xuanxi didn't expect that she had misinterpreted her meaning, and if the following sentence of the crown gift was made up, she couldn't say it. For a while, the calm face made Su Lan see the meaning of shame for the first time.

Su Lan looked really funny, so she really laughed out loud. Xuanxi saw her smile, and the shame on her face became heavier and heavier.

When Su Lan saw Xuanxi like this, she only thought that her joke was a little too big, which really made him angry, so she hurriedly added a sentence.

"When the news of the attack on Xuanlang came, it was just a few days before my crowning ceremony. Because I was worried about you, I didn't experience the excitement of the crown ceremony, I just wanted to end it quickly and come to Longxi to see the two of you. ”

Xuanxi's face turned even redder.

And Su Lan only felt that tonight's Xuanxi was really weird.

And she didn't know how fast the heart in front of her was beating so fast that it made him panic, but there was an unknown great pleasure.

"Rest early. After saying this, Xuan Xi turned around without looking back, leaving Su Lan alone, standing in place dumbfounded.
