only said that Ling Jue left the Ying Mansion, so he took a sedan chair and ordered to go to Guo's Mansion.

It just so happened that Guo Jianyi had just returned home from the household department at this time, and Liangli actually bumped into him at the door.

When Guo Jianyi saw that it was him, he was a little surprised, just because of Huaizhen, the two of them also had a slight knot with each other, not to mention that they were both officials, and they had their own experience, so they were not as close as they were when they were young.

Except for the festival or Guo Fushou, Wait for Xian Ling will never come to Guo Mansion to meet.

Guo Jianyi was surprised in his heart, his face was not shocked, he gave each other a little salute, and then accompanied him into the house to talk in detail.

Because Ling Jue had serious matters and didn't dare to slack off, Guo Jianyi also saw it, so he just invited him to go to the study and sit down, the boy retreated with tea, Guo Jianyi smiled and asked, "Why are you idle today?" But what's the matter? ”

Seeing him smiling, Ling Jue also smiled slightly, and said, "I was originally very good with my brother, and I was taken care of by my brother before, but recently because of those many trivial matters, we have become estranged from each other. Brother Hugh blames me for coming abruptly. ”

When Guo Jianyi heard this, he pondered and said: "Gentlemen have friendship, you have a heart-to-heart relationship, and there is no deep hatred between you and me, how can you say that you are unfamiliar?" If it is abrupt, it is the outside. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, each understanding. Ling Jue said: "Since this is the case, I will say what I mean." ”

Dang, he told his former colleague about sending a letter, and said: "What I heard him say was an old case in the Guo Mansion in the past, and it was just that, but recently it seems that my uncle has caused some other trouble, so I know about it to the imperial history, and I can't help but poke it out." ”

Guo Jianyi really didn't know yet, and immediately frowned, and Ling Jue said: "And I heard that the fold also brought my mentor Ying, I have just told my mentor about this, and the mentor originally wanted to come to see my brother in person to tell him, lest my brother be unprepared and caught off guard...... It was I who persuaded him not to act rashly, lest he fall into the hands of others again, but it was better for me to come forward. ”

Guo Jianyi gathered his thoughts, nodded and said, "My cousin has a heart, and I bothered you." ”

Ling Jue shook his head and said: "Now my brother and my teacher are not only related to each other, but also the mainstay of the imperial court, it is difficult to ensure that someone is hot-eyed, and my brother knows about this, so he just needs to be on guard as soon as possible." ”

After Ling Jue finished speaking, he wanted to say goodbye, Guo Jianyi said: "It's already this time, why don't you stay for a light meal?" ”

Ling Jue stopped and said with a smile: "Brother must have something to do, so it's not too late to get together another day." ”

Seeing this, Guo Jianyi personally sent him out, and when he saw him get on the sedan chair and go, Guo Jianyi returned to his house, and went to Mrs. Guo's big room after thinking about it.

But said that because of the past few years, Guo Jianyi's reputation has risen, Guo Bailu has become the crown princess again, and suddenly, Guo's mansion is naturally hot, the previous family only Guo Jizu's branch, but in other provinces, but because Guo Jizu tossed all day long, the family inevitably lost money, and some were overstretched.

Mrs. Guo is because Guo Bailu is married, and Guo Jianyi is not married, so she saw her relatives from her hometown coming, and she liked it very much, who knows how long it will be...... A sister in her concubine Qin's family, because she is also a dilapidated family and a widow is unemployed, is calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual, because she heard that the sister is in the "princess's" maiden family, she rushed over with her family and rushed over, and she also brought a girl who was not married.

Mrs. Guo saw that although the girl was not very old, she was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was also born with a beautiful appearance, and because Guo Jianyi had never been married, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, so she secretly had a mind about the building near the water, and wanted to give this girl to Guo Jianyi.

Unexpectedly, because he told Guo Jianyi a few times, he refused, but just shirked.

Although Mrs. Guo was in a hurry, seeing that Guo Jianyi did not agree, and because although this girl was a little in her eyes, she was really not worthy of her son when it came to her family background, so Mrs. Guo said it a few times, and then temporarily extinguished this heart.

Therefore, the Guo family is not as lonely as before, at this moment, his aunt Qin and a cousin, the aunt and the girl, are laughing and laughing with Mrs. Guo, and suddenly saw Guo Jianyi coming, so they stood up and saluted.

Guo Jianyi went inside to see her mother, because she saw that everyone was there, but it was not good to mention what she was thinking, but the girl was a clever one, seeing that Guo Jianyi's face was indifferent, she didn't say much and smiled, as if she was doing something serious, so she plucked her mother and got up with everyone to leave.

If everyone went, Mrs. Guo noticed that something was wrong, so she looked at Guo Jianyi and asked, "What's wrong with you?" How does it seem to have something on mind? ”

Guo Jianyi said: "My son has something to understand, I don't know if my mother has heard about it, - how did I hear that my uncle at home had an accident again?" ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she smiled slowly and said, "What should I be, it turns out to be this...... It's not in the way, but a few days ago, I had some disputes with people, and they have all subsided, so it's not worth it, and I don't want you to be bothered because I saw that you were very busy for a while. ”

Guo Jianyi's face changed: "In this case, who calmed down?" ”

Mrs. Guo still didn't take it seriously, and said: "I naturally asked your aunt in the Ying Mansion for help, how big is it, and it will be done very quickly." Why are you so serious now? ”

It turned out that a few days ago, my hometown sent someone to give a letter, it turned out that Guo Jizu had a dispute with someone over a trivial matter again, and there was a big fight, but this time there was no lawsuit, but it just injured someone, and the family sued the government because they didn't follow...... The Guo family hurriedly asked someone to go to Beijing, and first sent a letter to his wife Qin, asking him to ask someone to save him quickly.

At this moment, in Guo Jizu's eyes, the crown princess is his niece, the household servant is his nephew, and there is also the power of the Ying Mansion, so this person is naturally rampant...... His wife, Qin, got the letter and was busy discussing with Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo didn't take it seriously, and she knew that Guo Jianyi had a strict temperament, so she was afraid that it would be troublesome if she told him...... originally wanted to entrust Guo Bailu to act, but suddenly because Mrs. Ying came to the mansion to talk that day, Mrs. Guo had an idea and told Mrs. Ying about it, so she entrusted Mrs. Ying to take care of it.

When Mrs. Ying returned to the mansion, she didn't think so, but in the name of Lord Ying, she sent someone to deliver a letter to the prefect of Na'an Prefecture and called it to dredge.

The prefect saw that it was Ying Gongfu's appearance, and he knew the relationship between Guo Jizu's family...... It was also related to the crown princess, so naturally he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly obeyed, and actually let go of the lawsuit gently.

Guo Jianyi heard Mrs. Guo's words, and secretly complained in her heart, but she was not angry at her mother, so she twisted her eyebrows and endured it.

Seeing his frowns, Mrs. Guo couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Don't...... Anything else that can't be done? Your aunt said it a long time ago, and it has subsided. ”

Guo Jianyi saw that her mother still didn't know what was wrong, so careless, and finally said: "In the future, my mother must not interfere in these matters at will, because I wanted to save my uncle's life last time, I did not hesitate to go to Taizhou to discuss and intercede with my cousin...... Although he finally saved his uncle's life, he only asked him to settle in Anzhou, who knew that his temperament did not change, and after all, he made an accident, and now he can see it to someone who cares, and he turned over the matter of Taizhou, and his mother only said that it was a trivial matter, but unexpectedly, this subtlety is the most fatal, if this matter is not appropriate, don't say that it is the uncle's life and have to be explained, I am afraid that even my sister ...... Even the Ying Mansion will be implicated! ”

Mrs. Guo originally saw that Guo Bailu was the crown princess, and Guo Jianyi was so good...... Recently, he was naturally a little empty-eyed, but now when he heard Guo Jianyi say this, he was so frightened that he changed color, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" ”

Guo Jianyi sighed, endured his annoyance, and only lowered his eyes and said: "Mother only remembers my words, don't make your own decisions in the future." You need to know: The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, and this is not said in vain. ”

Mrs. Guo was dumbfounded, so anxious that she couldn't say anything, and hurriedly stammered: "How would I know...... And then it came out again? What kind of person is so bold, so good and turning over old things, don't you know that your sister is the crown princess? …… Don't panic, I'll go to the prince's mansion and tell your sister to ask her to beg the prince......"

Guo Jianyi was annoyed when she heard such foolish words, but after all, it was not good to use it to her mother, and at this moment, she was not angry but laughed, and said: "If my mother goes to say it, is it because I am afraid that I will not be able to harm my sister?" ”

Mrs. Guo hurriedly stopped and asked, "Is this ...... And how to say? ”

Guo Jianyi said in a deep voice: "Although my sister is the crown princess, doesn't my mother know the truth of 'high places are not cold'?" The more you are in a high place like this, the more you must be cautious and introspective, do you know that my sister was still asking for a concubine for the prince a few days ago? If it weren't for the fact that she only got a girl from the county lord of Ankang in a few years, and because of the gossip of others, why would my sister be so 'virtuous'? But the mother still wants to make trouble for her at this juncture? ”

Guo Jianyi paused and continued: "What's more, if the prince knows that this incident has happened in our mansion, what good will it do to the prince?" How long has the emperor made a prince? It is also the time to maintain the reputation of being honest and virtuous, and the mother will send this matter to the prince, how should the prince deal with it? For the crown prince, the best way is to kill his relatives in righteousness, where will he help his mother cover up this matter? ”

When Mrs. Guo heard these many words, she was like a thunderous toad, demented, and unable to speak.

Guo Jianyi sighed: "What's more, my sister is also a smart person, and if she said it to her rashly, it would only make her a dilemma, and it is naturally easy to protect the Guo family, but I am afraid that I will lose my virtue in front of the prince, and I will lose my ...... Just think about it for yourself. ”

Where would Mrs. Guo think so far-reaching, not to mention that she was covered by that Xuan He Dingsheng before, and she knew that it was powerful at this moment, and she was so anxious that she cried: "It's me who is fascinated, did it hurt your sister?" How good is that? ”

Guo Jianyi was afraid that this matter would not be explained to Mrs. Guo in various ways, but she was afraid that she would still have to repeat her old tricks in the future, and she didn't know what big things she would do in private, so she deliberately pointed out all the key points, so that she could be vigilant and restrained.

Guo Jianyi saw his mother crying, so he said: "Since I know about this matter, I have to think of a proper way to cook it, just don't let my sister know, if it is poked out, the emperor will blame it, and I will be the only one to bear it." ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she couldn't be relieved even more, and actually cried: "I'm really an old fool, how can this be good?" ”

Guo Jianyi couldn't bear it in the end, so she had to persuade a few more words, and said: "Mother doesn't need to say it, I will think about it myself, and in the future, my mother only remembers that others are asking you to do something, and you are careless, otherwise, my sister and I will ...... I don't know what it will look like. ”

Where did Mrs. Guo dare to do this, she hurriedly agreed, and said a few more words with tears in her eyes before sending Guo Jianyi away.

Not to mention that Guo Jianyi went to deal with this matter by himself, in other words, Ling Jue said goodbye to Guo Jianyi and took a sedan chair, but he did not return to Ling's mansion, but just went to Hanlin Courtyard.

Halfway through this journey, he suddenly heard the sound of a horse bell, Ling didn't care, but vaguely heard his entourage outside the sedan chair whispering: "It's the ...... of the Tang Mansion."

When Ling Jue heard this, he raised his hand to lift the sedan curtain, turned his head to look out, but saw that in the night, he saw a carriage coming upside down, passing by his sedan chair very quickly, vaguely as if there was a very faint fragrance, and the wind swept through the night.

Ling desperately left the carriage, so he called the little servant and asked through the sedan curtain, "Is this the car of the Tang Mansion?" Where did it come from? ”

The little guy said: "Back to the second master, it is the car of the Tang Mansion that is driving correctly, it seems that he is going back to the Tang Mansion, but I don't know where he came from, and let the little one inquire about it." ”

Seeing that he didn't know, Ling Jue said lightly: "That's it, no need." ”

The little guy had no choice but to agree, not daring to speak.

Who knew that after a while, suddenly a slightly cold voice came from the sedan chair, and said, "Go and inquire carefully." ”

Seeing that the master had been repeating this in a very short period of time, the little guy still didn't dare to speak, so he was busy agreeing and took time out to listen to the news.

When Ling Jue returned to the Hanlin Academy, the little guy happened to come back, because he stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said: "Hui Second Master, it turned out to be the third grandmother of the Tang Mansion, and I went to the house of Princess Chengrong of the Zhan Republic of China at noon, and I will return at this moment." ”

Ling Jue saw that he had inquired in detail, so he nodded and said, "Got it, you can go." The little guy got up and walked away.

Ling Jue went inside, at this moment all the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy had returned to the house, the courtyard seemed extremely quiet and lonely, the two entourages followed closely, but Ling Jue walked with his hands in his hands, as if he was strolling in the courtyard, he felt that such a lonely and open space was more comfortable than the daytime.

In the shadows, only the summer insects chirped in the grass, and when they heard the footsteps of people approaching, they timidly stopped, and only after waiting for people to pass by, did they sing happily again.

Ling Jue took two retinues, lightly walked through the corridor, all the way into the hall, the attendants had already turned on the lights, and then retreated and stood quietly.

Let's say that Ling Jue looked through the file for a while, and suddenly the sound of a horse bell ringing in his ears sounded, and the sound entered his ears, disturbing his heart for no reason.

Ling Jue frowned, pushed the book to the side, raised his hand to his forehead, and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a faint and faint fragrance came faintly, Ling Jue's heart moved, he raised his hand and touched it in his arms, and sure enough, he took out a golden-brown sachet, and looked at it through the shadow of the lamp, the golden-brown satin, and the lotus flower was lifelike, isn't it the Qingshen lotus sachet?

Ling Jue stared at it for a long time, as if he was bewitched by the fragrance, and couldn't help but send the sachet to his mouth and nose...... When the sachet was about to touch his lips, he suddenly came to his senses, and Ling Jue hurriedly stopped, looking at the sachet in disbelief, as if he had been electrocuted.

At this moment, no one in the hall moved, and everything was silent, only the two attendants stood quietly with their hands down, suddenly unconscious.

Only the quiet candlelight, like a faint eye, the light was indifferent, reflecting his figure and every move on the ground, which seemed so abrupt and ridiculous.

Ling Jue stared at the sachet for a long time, and suddenly thought of the way Xiao Tang looked at him before, as if he was half smiling and half mocking...... With a lot of irritability in his heart, he stood up suddenly and walked to the purple gold sandalwood burner.

The smell of cigarette smoke curled into the air, and as he approached, the smoke became chaotic and misty, which also engraved his state of mind.

Ling Jue lifted the lid of the stove, looked at the embers in the sandalwood burner flickering, his eyes flickered several times, and finally raised his hand and threw the sachet in!

The silk satin fabric was the most unfired, and suddenly a fire broke out.
