Chapter Twenty-Three-Jin/Jiang/Du/Home/Fa/Table-

The sound of the piano on the water pavilion is lingering, and the music is fragrant.

Fan Wenchou, the grandson of the Zhenguo Mansion, walked to the railing with two cups of freshly brewed tea, and saw Pei Xuan looking at the rockery forest not far away with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

Pei Xuan didn't speak, his eyes stared at the back of the girl who was far away, Fan Wenchou sent the teacup to him, he reached out to take it, Fan Wenchou also saw the three masters and servants who went away, although it was a little unbelievable, but Fan Wenchou was sure that the first good boy in the capital in front of him was staring at the little girl just now, and couldn't help but quip:

"It's rare to see you move your heart, but you have to pick a slightly bigger one."

Pei Xuan did not hide his gaze, stared at the people until they turned and couldn't see before retracting his gaze, turned around and leaned against the railing, blew the teacup in his hand, and drank a sip of mellow tea, Fan Wenchou had never seen him like this, he couldn't help but be curious about the little girl, and immediately called someone over, and said what he had seen the little girl's dress before, and the person took the order, this is to inquire who the girl is.

Pei Xuan didn't stop it, Fan Wenchou likes to make trouble, then let him make trouble, anyway, he can't make any trouble, it's just to ask who the other person is, he saw it clearly before, the little girl just came up with an idea to rectify his younger brother's teacher in a moment's effort, and that plan seemed to him to be very implementable, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about her, but it was just curious, like such a powerful and scheming girl, it was really a little uncute, but it was a pity that the beautiful little face.

But Fan Wenchou didn't know what Pei Xuan was really thinking at the moment, and he was still curious about Pei Xuan, who had always shown himself cold, and he had to find out who that girl was before he would give up.

After a while, the person he sent out came back, and after saying a few words in Fan Wenchou's ear, he quietly retreated, Fan Wenchou looked at Pei Xuan, and wanted him to ask him curiously, but Pei Xuan was as stable as Mount Tai, not only did he not ask, but he didn't show any interest at all, and he looked like an immortal who came from the sky to travel through the world, but only Fan Wenchou, who grew up with him since he was a child and can be regarded as a friend, knows how powerful the sick fairy in front of him is, Among their group of invincible sons of heaven, they are simply not human beings.

In the end, Fan Wenchou couldn't help but say:

"Guess whose house? I said, how do you keep an eye on people, you know it early in the morning, right? ”

Pei Xuan put the cup down and glanced at Fan Wenchou, who seemed to be as sharp as seeing the intestines from Fan Wenchou's mouth, so that Fan Wenchou surrendered instantly, approached Pei Xuan and said:

"The eldest daughter of the Yanhou family."

In the entire noble circle of the capital, there are not many surnames, and the only one who has become a Hou Ye is Changning Hou Yanxiu.

These words made Pei Xuan a little interested, and his thoughtful eyes lowered slightly, Fan Wenchou is a Dali Temple, although the official rank is not high, but the identity is there, the next Dali Temple Secretary is the best candidate, naturally knows what Pei Xuan has been doing recently, the world thinks that Pei Xuan, the son of King Gong, is a sick seedling, at best he is a sick seedling who has a good background and can read, but in fact, he does have some lack of qi brought out of his mother's womb, but except for occasional illness and looks a little weak, it is all good. However, only a few close people know about this matter, such as Fan Wenchou.

Since he was a blockbuster at the age of fourteen, he was directly recruited into the cabinet by the emperor, and externally he only said that he was cultivating his body, but internally, the emperor also had considerations, to put it bluntly, he just wanted him not to fight with others, anyway, no matter whether he won the champion or not, he was the son of the king, and could he still have an official position? Suddenly got Pei Xuan into the cabinet, from the outsider's point of view, Pei Xuan has to deal with books all his life, but the inside story, although Pei Xuan didn't say it explicitly, Fan Wenchou can guess some.

He is two years older than Pei Xuan, and he can be regarded as a promising child of the family, but at the age of twenty, he has secured the position of Sicheng, and for those second ancestors who only know how to spend time and wine, Fan Wenchou can also be regarded as a model-level figure.

"Is that her?"

Pei Xuan spit out these two words briefly.

Changning Hou Yanxiu lost his wife in his early years, and continued his late wife's maiden sister said that he continued to string, and his late wife left a pair of children, which are rumored to be not outstanding, and can even be described as mediocre, Pei Xuan recalled her previous conversation and appearance, no matter how you look at it, she can't be classified as 'mediocre'.

"I also heard the rumors of that girl from my sister in the family before, what arrogance, rudeness, selfishness, arrogance, ......" Fan Wenchou said this, while observing Pei Xuan's expression, I saw that he was unmoved, and he also felt funny about his behavior, who is this person in front of him, how can he be interested in the little girl of the Yan family.

But the Yan family......

"What does the prime minister mean, or do you want to protect the Tan family? What does it mean today? ”

Secretly asked Pei Xuan.

Tan family is talking about Wuchang Hou Tan Cheng, Tan Cheng and Yan Xiu are heroes, the same after three generations, but two years ago, Tan Cheng and Yan Xiu went to Henan to distribute a batch of disaster relief silver and grain, silver millions, grain 200,000 quintals, by Wu Anhou and Changning Hou are jointly responsible, the two as the principal, the batch of disaster relief funds and grain to Henan, it was handed over to local officials to arrange distribution, but in April last year, the capital received a report one after another, saying that the number of victims around Henan is increasing, and several large forces of displaced people have been formed, began to coerce the government, local officials could not deal with it, the emperor sent the three divisions and Dali Temple to investigate, only to know that the reason for the displacement was because the disaster relief things were not distributed at all, all of them were filled with private pockets, and the money and materials had already been divided up.

This incident made the emperor very angry, and immediately summoned Tan Cheng and Yan Xiu to meet him, but both of them insisted that this matter had nothing to do with them, after all, they were safely delivered and handed over to the local officials, and there was evidence of the local officials drawing and signing in hand, and the emperor could not blame the two, but step by step to investigate, more and more officials were involved, from the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Industry, and then to all levels of the people who issued documents to sign the passage seemed to be suspicious, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove the crime, seeing that things were more and more involved. The emperor can't kill all the courtiers at once, since he can't kill them all, he can only pick a few out as models.

Yan Xiu and Tan Cheng were ordered to take charge of this matter, and there was always one person in charge. The emperor is also in a dilemma, after all, after all are heroes, who is arrested, the impact is not good, and he is still hesitating, but Tan Cheng has a family to protect him, as far as Xiu does not, Tan Cheng and Prime Minister Li Ning are sons and daughters, Tan Cheng's son is married to the prime minister's daughter, the name of the prime minister's beloved daughter is far and wide, the Tan family is also the prime minister's daughter, grandson, gave birth to three or four out, the relationship has always been harmonious, after the prime minister learned about this, he has been running for Tan Cheng, to repair here, the father-in-law is the prince of Dingguo Xie Mang, than the identity, That's not bad at all, and Xie Mang is naturally also protecting his son-in-law, so this matter has been hanging like that, although he didn't say anything today, he had a whisper in his heart about Tan Cheng and Yan Xiu.

What will happen to this matter, in the end, no one knows now. However, this definitely does not include Pei Xuan, the son of King Gong.

Fan Wenchou wanted to listen to Pei Xuan's comments on this matter, and looked at Pei Xuan with bright eyes, expecting him to spit out some new information, but Pei Xuan was as steady as Mount Tai, and the big and oblique Danfeng's eyes were full of incomprehensible meaning.

He didn't say it, and Fan Wenchou didn't continue to ask.

*************

On the other side, Dye Xiang investigated some of the information that Yan Zhaohua wanted to know according to Yan Zhaohua's instructions and came back.

The woman who was entangled with Sun Chong before was served in the flower room in the courtyard of Mrs. Shizi, called Feng'er, nineteen years old, a few years ago was just a rough maid in the utility room, and was favored by the second steward of the Dingguo Mansion, and asked Mrs. Shizi to be a mother-in-law, and the second steward also loved his wife, and after getting married, he found a vacancy in the flower room and transferred Feng'er from the utility room to the flower room, so that she no longer had to do handymen, it is said that many girls in the Guogong Mansion are very envious of Feng'er, after all, not everyone can marry into the high gate and climb the branches to be a phoenix, Although the second steward is a little old, in his forties, he married a little daughter-in-law, which hurts from the bottom of his heart, so everyone in the house knows that the second steward is very good to Feng'er, and this is not what a woman wants all her life.

Yan Zhaohua listened to what Dye Xiang said, and recalled the picture she saw before, although Feng'er said that she avoided Sun Chong's entanglement vigorously, but in the end she didn't brush her sleeves away, if she really wanted to avoid Sun Chong, where would she keep so much time to entangle with him, Sun Chong said a few words of teasing, grabbed a few hands, and didn't know how to shout people, just wanted to refuse and dodge, not only did not dodge, but made Sun Chong more violently entangled, Yan Zhaohua was married, and knew the little thing between men and women, just look at Feng'er's reaction, The girl herself is not too scrupulous.

"I went to boil some tea for Miss, and the people in the pantry said that the second steward was good for Feng'er, but Feng'er was very general for the second steward, and it was said that Feng'er scolded the second steward, thinking that he was useless, and he couldn't earn money to spend on her or something. But everyone said that the second steward was already enviable of Feng'er, not only replaced Feng'er from the utility room, but also took Feng'er's parents to their house to pay respect. ”

Dye Xiang said that even she felt angry: "Many people know that Feng'er scolded people very badly, and more than once, the second steward is an honest person, only when Feng'er is young and ignorant, he has never bothered with her." But I didn't see Feng'er being grateful, and even intensified, anyway, the wind review was not very good. ”

When Yan Zhaohua heard this, he was even more convinced of the judgment in his heart.
