Chapter 237: Wandering in the Dark
After leaving the Xiaoyao Palace, Xiao Chuxuan's heart was never set again, especially after thinking about the hussar general at the banquet, he seemed to have no intention of saying it explicitly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Chu's heart is even more uncertain.
Since returning to the house, Xiao Chu's eyebrows have been locked there.
The hussar general personally posted an invitation, although Xiang Zhu was Xiao Chusu's personal maid, but because of her humble status, she was not qualified to enter the general's banquet. So what exactly is the meaning of this invitation, and what is happening inside, is not clear.
Rao didn't know what was going on, and Xiao Chu's frowning still made Xiang Zhu feel uneasy.
Xiaoyao Wangfu, if this invitation comes from Xiaoyao Wang, there is no need to worry. But now this invitation is not from the King of Ease, but from the hussar general.
Xiang Zhu's heart was also worried because of Xiao Chu's gradually loose eyebrows.
Looking at Xiao Chu, who was leaning on the chair in the study, leaning back and slumped in the chair, Xiang Zhu was extremely worried. Waiting aside, after looking at it for a long time, I saw that Xiao Chusu just closed his eyes and pondered without saying a word, and he couldn't bear to wait at Xiangzhu's place. After thinking about it for a long time in his heart, because he saw that the eldest lady only closed her eyes and never said anything, Xiang Zhu finally had to ask.
"Miss, what is the purpose of this hussar general's invitation? But what did our Xiao family do to make the general care? ”
If there is nothing to hang on, I think he is a dignified hussar general, how could he hand over a post to invite the Xiao family to a banquet, and the place for this banquet is also selected in the Xiaoyao Palace. What did the hussar general talk about when he invited the eldest lady, Xiang Zhu really didn't know, but she was already more thoughtful than others, Rao didn't know what was going on, and there was always a little suspicion in her heart.
At that moment, the words came out, and the person also wandered for a long time, and his mind wandered away for a while, and Xiang Zhu said softly: "Isn't it, because of the King of Freedom?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chu, who was closed and contemplative, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the zenith, and then moved his eyes to look at Xiangzhu. Obviously dizzy, his eyes stared at him for a long time, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body, Xiao Chushu straightened up, sat steadily, and then closed his eyes and said: "The banquet set up in the Xiaoyao Palace, of course, is related to the Xiaoyao King, why don't you pay Chu Rui and me at that banquet." ”
"The banquet set up in the Xiaoyao Palace, if the Xiaoyao King invites the eldest lady and the fourth young master, it will be fine. But now the person who set up this banquet is a hussar general, and the hussar general has always been stationed in Haobei for a long time, and rarely returns to Beijing, even if he returns to Beijing, he only intersects with high-ranking officials and nobles as important ministers. Although our Xiao family is the richest man in Kyoto, if you want to say that it is only a businessman, the cloth clothes have no power, and they have nothing to do with this hussar general. Not to mention the present, even the eldest lady in the past has never known a hussar general. Now this sudden invitation is still inseparable from the Xiaoyao Palace. Miss, what did you think of this hussar general? What's the point? ”
If it was before, it might be possible to explain it with ambiguity, but now.
The Xiao family went to the hussar general's appointment, and this matter has changed its mind from the root.
Although Xiao Chusu has never wanted to change this fundamental meaning, but in this world, the calculation is not in the hands of people, but it all depends on how God settles. No matter how you think in your heart, how to calculate, many times, or from the beginning, things have already trended in one place.
Radical change.
The Xiao family and the Xiaoyao Mansion had already had a relationship before they knew the secret, and now the hussar general's covenant and the Xiao family's going, this ambiguity is even more confusing.
Xiao Chu, who had always been silent because of the words of Xiangzhu, couldn't help but sigh with relief when her words just fell. This sigh was very long, and it was faint, as if all the qi in the lungs was exhaled. After a long sigh, Xiao Chuxuan opened his mouth and said.
"What this hussar general is thinking about, and what he is fighting, is not yet an obvious thing on the table. This time the matter of Wuzhou, the things that our Xiao family did, I am afraid that Kyoto has already taken turns to spread it, although the Jiang family has made a shield for us in front, but it is inevitable that someone will talk about it. This hussar general, you don't see that he is in Haobei, and he can't return to Beijing once for a long time, but this position of power can be dragged to such an accident yet, and the ability at hand is also incomparable to ordinary people. Our Xiao family, although the matter of opening the shed soup soup has nothing to do with the King of Xiaoyao, but when will there be less of the rumors in Kyoto, I am afraid that the truth here is true or false, and the people have not returned to Beijing yet, and the hussar general has already figured it out in his heart. ”
As he spoke, his eyebrows were still frowning, his eyes were screwed, and Xiao Chu continued: "The hussar general's thoughts, you were not at the banquet at that time, if you were there, you would be able to see it clearly." Inviting me and Chu Rui to the banquet this time is probably because I want to win over our Xiao family, and it can be regarded as a confirmation that the Xiao family is more inclined to the king. ”
The Xiao family is the head of the four families in Kyoto, if the Xiao family is close to the king of Xiaoyao, Rao is court may not be able to help for a long time, but outside the court, I am afraid that it can do a lot of benefits. Take this time the Wuzhou disaster victims poured into Kyoto, the official family has not yet started, and the Xiao family also entered the organizer's office, which not only relieved the victims, but also calmed the people's hearts and avoided a restless disaster.
With money on hand, many things can be done much more smoothly.
If you want to achieve great things, both power and silver are indispensable.
The hussar general is a master who has been killing for a long time, and the pros and cons here are tight in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Therefore, the hussar general's invitation this time was also to take stock of his own thoughts and change the trend of the situation.
In the eyes of the Xiao family, the two parties are more inclined to the king. In the past, Chu Rui and Han Ye were very close, and the two parties of the prince and the king of Xiaoyao were already very close, not to mention this time.
In the matter of Wuzhou, in addition to the fact that King Xiaoyao has established a lot of prestige, this Xiao family is also a more realistic state in the eyes of those who are interested. Xiao Chu was stunned as to what the well-intentioned people on the side thought of this matter, but here the hussar general, she could see a little.
The Jiang family is inclined to the prince, Xiao Chuxuan can detect this matter, and if he wants to come to the hussar general's place, he should also know and hear it. Since the Jiang family is more attached to the prince, for the King of Freedom and the hussar general, the Jiang family is the lord who cannot be tolerated. And the Xiao family's trip to Wuzhou this time is undoubtedly a clear intention to set off the hussar general's mind and cut the prince's faction.
The matter of the Jiang family was inspired by Chu Rui, and Xiao Chu's trip was just to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and by the way, he returned the Jiang family's repeated victimizations. Xiao Chusu's original intention was not to help King Xiaoyao, but just to make trouble for the Jiang family, but even so, this incident was still a very heavy blow to the close relationship between the Jiang family and the prince.
The prince has a lot of thoughts and is also suspicious, and now those illusory and illusory rumors are circulating outside, even if the Qingzhi Jiang family will not be attached to the king of Xiaoyao and become the master who borrows the wind to make the rudder, the prince will still have some doubts in his heart. As long as the prince can be suspicious, as long as the prince can be moved, it will be a matter of root for the princelings.
This one thing is unintentional, Xiao Chu is also very beautiful, so the hussar general who heard about this matter will only hand over the invitation to the banquet after returning to Beijing, and the eldest lady of the Xiao family and the fourth young master of the Xiao family will be entertained.
The hussar general didn't have any good intentions from the beginning, but now when he heard the eldest lady's words, Xiang Zhu was already frowning. Because of the worry in the heart, the person also showed sorrow, the face was condensed, the person thought a few times, and after thinking slightly, Xiang Zhu sighed and said.
"In this way, the hussar general wants to put himself in a correct posture for our Xiao family?"
"I want to put on a good posture for our Xiao family, otherwise who is he? A dignified hussar general, a first-class general with outstanding military achievements, and our Xiao family are ruthless and unkind, will they specially pay a banquet? Could it be that because we are close to the King of Freedom, we feel that we are caring for the cold prince, and we specially set up a banquet to thank you? Thank you for taking care of Han Gongzi? ”
These powerful people like to do things most is calculation, and if it is not beneficial to themselves, they are too lazy to do these things in vain. A banquet was specially set up, just to thank the Xiao family for taking care of Han Ye, don't say that this is a free king, and there is no need for the Xiao family to take care of it. Even if the Xiao family really thinks a lot about taking care of King Xiaoyao, and wants to come to the hussar general, he doesn't have such a free time, and even the friends who are useless and are just level friends can also get a kiss or two.
The hussar general handed over this post, with his thoughts, is naturally straight to follow, not only to let outsiders know, but also to let the prince who is not in Kyoto, but still holds everything in Kyoto.
The hussar general's trip was for the sake of Han Ye, but unfortunately for the Xiao family, the Xiao family was in trouble. Seeing the sneer on the eldest lady's words from time to time, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but say.
"The last thing the eldest lady wants is to pull these things, and now the hussar general's visit is a personal invitation and a banquet, even if our Xiao family doesn't want to go out to preach, this matter should spread in a few days. The eldest lady was thinking about these official things, don't get involved in anything, our Xiao family, just do our own duty and be an honest businessman. But now it seems that the official things that these eldest ladies don't like the most are untouchable. Now that he has been involved in this matter, I don't know what to say in Kyoto, even the prince who is still in Wuzhou, far away, I don't know what he will hear? ”
The most frightening thing is the rumbling circulation, the three of them become tigers, and people are even more biased. One thing is like this when it is done, but when this thing falls into the ears of some people after several rounds of rumors, what they hear may be something else. Although the prince's net in Kyoto is extremely dense, no matter how dense it is, it can't carry it far away from other states, and the news has changed.
Originally, people were far away, but when the matter reached the ears of the prince, there was already a twist, not to mention this matter, the person who passed it out had a calculating intention at all.
The words that came out were even more twisted.
Since the Wuzhou disaster, this matter has deviated, and now the hussar general is coming again, I am afraid that the matter will fall into the ears of the prince.
It's time to go sour, too.
The most difficult thing in life is these things of calculation, and he also sighed these words, Xiang Zhu suddenly let out a long sigh, and then suddenly asked.
"Miss, do you say that this King of Freedom is ambitious? Or is it really as the people of Kyoto say, there is no greed at all? It's just that the prince thinks too much, and people are too vigilant, so that this matter has evolved to this point? ”
The personality and character of the King of Joy are also widely rumored in Kyoto. It's just that although there are a lot of these words, but now that the situation has changed, Rao is that he has heard a lot of these, and Xiangzhu can't bear to ask more.
Her inquiry here is obviously more respectful, but there is no such difference in the Xiao family. Therefore, as soon as Xiang Zhu's muttering inquiry fell, Xiao Chuxuan was also silent for a while, and then looked at Xiang Zhu. Just looked at each other like that, and was silent for a long time, Xiao Chuxuan asked in a loud voice.
"Does the King of Joy have this part, if it is according to your view, do you think? Can Han Gongzi have such a greedy ambition? ”
"This ......"
Xiang Zhu was suspicious, because he was puzzled, so he asked more than he spoke. Who knew that this inquiry did not get the eldest lady's response, but instead turned on the contrary, asking her what she thought of this matter? This rhetorical question made Xiang Zhu's eyebrows frown even tighter, and immediately people had a little deep thought. After a long pause, Xiang Zhu was coloring and said.
"The ones next to him, Xiang Zhu is unknown, Xiang Zhu doesn't have as much thought as the eldest lady, and many things can only be seen on the surface. The roots of the interior are faint, and Xiang Zhu really can't understand it, but according to what Xiang Zhu said, King Xiaoyao may not have the ambition to be greedy. With the temperament of the King of Ease, maybe this life is the pursuit of a lifetime, as for those on the side, I am afraid that they are really not greedy, and he can't see it. ”
"So what you mean by this, the prince has no intention, the prince thinks too much, everything is the prince thinks too much about himself, and he is suspicious of it?"
"This day's family affairs, Xiang Zhu is a cheap maid, how dare you guess privately. It's just that the prince and the Xiao family are also familiar friends, and Xiang Zhu and the prince are also familiar with each other. ”
Regarding Han Ye, Xiang Zhu's opinion is obviously the same as that of the people outside, and they all feel that King Xiaoyao acts freely and is not a greedy power-hungry master. It's just that Xiao Chushu is here, and it's hard to say whether what he thinks in his heart is the same as that of ordinary people.
Xiang Zhu's words lagged behind, and in exchange for Xiao Chu's silence for some reason. There was no reply, and no one spoke, so he was silent for a long time. is also such a silent silence, so that people's hearts can't help but mention a little worry, just waiting on the side, after watching the silence of the eldest lady, Xiang Zhu was about to speak, Xiao Chu in that place was already spitting out a sigh that was almost unheard, and then said.
"The King of Freedom has no intention, but Rao is the King of Freedom has no intention, but not everyone has this intention in their hearts." After a few words, there were many clear points, and it was also after these words, Xiao Chu continued to say: "Everyone in the world is envious of being born in the emperor's family, but this emperor's family is often hidden in danger step by step. This is especially true for men born into the imperial family. You want to be chic for a lifetime, but others don't see that they want to make you chic for a lifetime, it's this life, and sometimes you can't keep it. ”
May I live forever, not in the emperor's house.
Only those who were really born in the emperor's family can know in their hearts how much bitterness and astringency these words hide.
Han Ye said that he didn't want to be next to him in his life, so he would like to be chic and leisurely for a lifetime, but the prince could do what he wanted? I'm afraid that only if the King of Freedom never shows up again, can he settle down in his heart.
The King of Freedom is immortal and never wants to appear, which is the most reassuring thing for the prince, but the hussar general will never allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, if you want to keep Han Ye I healthy, there is only one way, and there is only one way.
The right to sit in the world, in order to protect the health of the nephew.
This right, this world.
Hussar general.
I'm afraid it's settled.
