318:Playing chess (I)
Now that he knew the reason, Shen Qihuan really didn't want to stay here any longer, and pressed his forehead with his hand, Qi Linyu immediately stopped the topic as if he had a sense, and turned sideways to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Xu is tired. Shen Que smiled apologetically: "The concubine went to rest in her father's yard, and the prince is here to accompany the marquis." ”
Shen Qihuan didn't look at everyone's expressions, so he stood up and gave a salute.
Qi Linyu commanded behind him: "Fu Zhan, send the princess over." ”
As soon as he took his life, he followed Shen Quehuan out of Zhengyang Courtyard. Shen Qihuan could feel that it wasn't until she stepped out of the courtyard door that the sound of conversation in the room sounded again.
Although today is Shen Quehuan's return ceremony, on the way from Zhengyang Courtyard to Qingyun Hall, none of the relatives and friends I met were willing to take the initiative to talk to Shen Quehuan.
Shen Qihuan naturally didn't bother with anyone, and walked with Fu Zhan one after the other, talking with each other.
Shen Qihuan: "Does the emperor want the prince to be the governor?"
Fu Zhan: "Back to the princess, the emperor mentioned it once, but the prince refused on the grounds of the newlywed Yan'er. ”
"......" Shen Quehuan: "The Governor of Disaster Relief always has to send the prince to go, King Sumire is on the cusp, could it be the prince?"
Fu Zhan: "Back to the princess, the meaning of the prince, the emperor seems to have the intention of letting the prince go." ”
Shen Qihuan paused, and glanced at Fu Zhan unceremoniously, "You are so easy to fool me? If this governor is related to the prince's side, King Sumire will definitely try his best to force the prince to pass, even if he doesn't make trouble for himself, it is impossible for the prince to let the prince's people get involved." ”
Fu Zhan hung his head, embarrassed: "The princess is wise." ”
Shen Qihuan kicked him unceremoniously, "When did you talk so roundabout." ”
Fu Zhan: "Princess, you are the master, since the prince has told you everything, you go and ask the prince, why bother to embarrass your subordinates." ”
Shen Quehuan hugged his arms and looked at him for a long time: "Oh? Now you can carry it clearly, you haven't made a lot of money in the past two days, right? Concubine Ben heard that your Jing'an Palace's guard camp has been gambling every night for the past two days. Shen Quehuan's smile was like a flower, but his eyes were unpredictable, "I don't know what you guys are gambling on?"
Fu Zhan's face was expressionless, but his face was much whiter than just now, he skipped Shen Qihuan and stared at Liu Erying not far away, his eyes were like a knife and lightning.
Shen Quehuan raised his hand and stroked his hair, and said charmingly: "Tonight, the guards are going to take 'Shang' or ......."
Fu Zhan shook his whole body and arched his hand: "Although the prince didn't say it explicitly, he instructed Fu Zhan to check what He Xiaohou has been doing recently." ”
Shen Qihuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and patted Fu Zhan's shoulder with a face full of relief. When I walked into Qingyun Hall, I began to think about it, He Wenxin?
Jin Xing stabbed Liu Erying, "What's the situation?"
Liu Erying put his hands behind his back, and the old god said, "Don't you know? Those people in the guard camp have been gambling every night for the past two days...... Bet on whether the general is on top or the prince is on top. ”
However, Liu Erying didn't say that the initiator of this gamble was himself.
Jin Xing stood for a while before she understood the meaning of these words, sweat broke out on her forehead, and quickly raised two red clouds on her face, and scolded: "These people are so shameless, how can they be like this...... So ......"
Jin Xing couldn't go on, Liu Erying saw curiosity on her face, and said with a smile: "You want to know the answer, you go and ask Fu Zhanbei ......"
Shen Qihuan sat in Qingyun Hall for a while, and Qi Linyu, Changru, Wang Changzhi and Chen Xu came together.
Shen Que greeted him with a smile, and commanded Zhang Luo, the maid in the courtyard, to pour tea, and he also had a little bit of being a housewife in his gestures.
Changru was very satisfied, sat on the top, received the three kneeling gifts of Qi Linyu and Shen Qihuan, and instructed Lingsong to take out the two brocade boxes.
"This is for the Father's ...... for you"
didn't move quickly, Shen Qihuan, who received the gift, had already opened the box neatly and took out two black pearls the size of grapes, and his face was full of disappointment, "Oh, Lao An just gave me the size of a pigeon's egg." ”
Changru's face darkened for a while, and Ling Song and Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh when they saw it. Wang Changzhi said cool words on the side: "As the old saying goes, girls are extroverted, and cousins are very serious." ”
Qi Linyu helped Shen Qihuan up, solemnly bowed to Changru and thanked him, and let Shen Qihuan stuff the two beads into his waist seal.
Everyone in the room saw it very clearly, and the tacit understanding between the two people in the two days was already obvious.
Wang Changzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, thought about it, stood up and saluted Changru: "Uncle, while everyone is here today, my nephew happens to have a matter to discuss, and now it is close to the end of autumn, and if I don't return, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip before the year, so Changzhi plans to leave and return in three days." ”
When everyone heard this, they all stood up.
Changru: "I was going to keep you for the New Year, why did you leave in such a hurry?"
"My grandfather is old, and Changzhi needs to go back to fulfill his filial piety. Now that I know the happiness of my cousin's marriage, the task of long-term governance can be regarded as a success. Wang Changzhi glanced at Qi Linyu, and then instructed Shen Qihuan: "If you are bullied, don't forget that there is a maiden family in the country, and the whole family is leading soldiers to fight, and it will definitely be able to support you." ”
The originally gloomy atmosphere immediately changed when he said this, and Shen Qihuan: "You are cursing me." ”
Wang Changzhi stared at Qi Linyu meaningfully: "I hope there will be no day." ”
Qi Linyu hugged Shen Qihuan's shoulder, and said, "Uncle is worried." Shen Quehuan twisted his neck to look at him, and the woman sang with her husband.
Wang Changzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Then Changzhi will retire first and pack up, can my cousin take my cousin to your man's shop tomorrow to collect some gifts and go back to honor the elders?"
Before Shen Qihuan could say "good", Qi Linyu preemptively said: "No need, this king has already instructed his friends to come to the business to prepare gifts, and when my uncle returns, I will send them to the house." If your uncle has someone you want to send, you can just choose it in the Kyoto Penglai account tomorrow, Shen San's vision is limited, and he may not be able to share his worries for his uncle. ”
That businesslike look is really hateful. The room was very embarrassed for a while, Shen Quehuan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, this man really had revenge and refused to suffer at all.
After Wang Changzhi said goodbye, Changru beckoned the three of them to sit down at the table again, and Shen Quehuan poured tea for the three of them with his own hands, but what he thought in his heart was: Wang Changzhi also returned to the country, why didn't the prince ask him to escort Mrs. Meng? Could it be that the prince never thought of sending Mrs. Meng back?
Chang Ru had already cut straight to the point: "The meaning of the Hou Ye and the Shen family just now, presumably the prince has already heard it, this morning the Hou Ye asked Chang Ru to go over and have a secret talk, and he wants the prince to protect the next person." ”
Shen Quehuan raised his head when he heard this, but Qi Linyu glanced at Shen Quehuan and Chen Xu's faces, and asked with a smile: "You two come and guess, who is the person that Chengping Hou wants to protect?"
Shen Qihuan and Chen Xu thought for a while, each dipped their fingers in the teacup, and wrote the same name on the desk - Chen Gongming.
Chen Gongming, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the ministry, has him, and the situation will not have the worst outcome.
Qi Linyu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned to glance at Changru, but he didn't smile.
"Isn't it?" Shen Qihuan understood Qi Linyu's expression best.
Chen Xu's eyes were also full of doubts: "Isn't it Chen Ge Lao, is there anything more worthy of preservation than Chen Ge Lao?"
Changru put the folding fan in his hand against the table and drew a three-character glyph.
Shen Qihuan and Chen Xu looked at each other: Chen Gongyi, the prefect of Jinzhou?
