Chapter 12: Courtesy and Reciprocity

"Cousin......"

Su Jin gently hugged Jiang Ying'er's thin and slender shoulders, and said softly, "I know, you came to Jinling without permission, in fact, you just want to help me, you want to make a contribution, and you want to clear the grievances of your relatives who died with infamy, but Ying'er, you are now the only relative in my world, if I can't even protect you, then what is the point of my painstaking efforts for so many years?" ”

"But sister, I ......"

"Don't mention this matter again in the future, you just kneel and beg me, and I won't agree!"

Jiang Ying'er let go of Su Jin and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Yes, Ying'er knows!" ”

"Because I am still living in the inn, King Qing's people are keeping an eye on it at any time, and it is not very convenient to take you there, so you will temporarily live here with Brother Du Xiu now, and Brother Du will arrange someone to send you back to Cangzhou tomorrow!"

When Jiang Ying'er heard this, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, I don't want to leave yet, I just arrived here yesterday, so I thought I was here to play or come to see you, sister, you can't drive me back so soon!" I'll listen to you whatever you say, but you're going to have to let me stay here for a while before I leave, right? Sister! ”

Su Jin raised his forehead, "Do you think this place is as safe as it is in Yingzhou?" My sister is walking on thin ice every step here, and if she makes a mistake, she may lose her life, you know? ”

"But, isn't there a sister who will protect me?" Jiang Ying'er smiled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"And how long do you want to stay?"

Jiang Ying'er stretched out three fingers and whispered tentatively, "Three months? ”

"No way!" Su Jin said categorically.

Jiang Ying'er pouted in some disappointment, hooked her finger and said, "That's two months, right?" ”

"No way!"

"Sister......" Jiang Ying'er took Su Jin's hand, shaking it and not forgetting to be a little coquettish.

"No way!"

"Well, that's all right for a month! Absolutely no less! ”

"Half a month! Don't haggle anymore or you'll be gone tomorrow! Su Jin said coldly.

"Oh......" Jiang Ying'er replied.

When the two walked out of the underground dark room, Du Xian was waiting at the exit of the dark passage.

"You stay here first, I still have something to talk about with Brother Du." Su Jin turned sideways and looked at Jiang Ying'er and said.

"Hmm!" Jiang Ying'er smiled and nodded.

Su Jin went out of the room alone with Du Xiu, and went up to the top floor of the Jiyue Pavilion, the three-story pavilion is nothing in the Jin Tomb, not to mention that there are five floors in the Tianju Building in the center of the city, but in this position, the field of vision is already very broad, especially after the Jiyue Pavilion, it is the residence that Su Jin has set, the Jin Mansion, overlooking from this height, the internal structure of the entire mansion is basically complete.

"How's it going there?"

"All the deeds have been handed over to Qin Jie, and it is estimated that he will send them to you tomorrow at most, but he has also hired some craftsmen, and is renovating some redundant, obsolete or unreasonable layouts inside, and even the housekeepers, house slaves, and maids have been basically arranged."

"It seems that King Qing is really 'bothered'!" Su Jin said with a smile.

"The secret passage from here to the mansion has led to the underground of your main bedroom, and the one from Qingfeng Pavilion is also together, but it has not yet reached the ground, and it is the hand of King Qing to prevent it! But once you've moved in, you'll be able to get through to it! ”

"I am naturally relieved of your arrangement."

"So, the chief, do you want your subordinates to find a way to replace all the domestic slaves and maids arranged by King Qing?"

"Do you think he'll tell me about it directly?"

"Definitely not!"

"That's easy, you don't have to arrange anything, since he doesn't say it, then I'll also pretend to be confused, and then I'll say that I'm not at ease with these people, and I want to replace them all, do you think King Qing can say no?"

Du Xiu clapped his hands violently, "That's right! This is much easier than me going to change people in secret, but King Qing still has to eat coptis dumbly, and I can't tell if I have any bitterness! ”

"Hmm!" Su Jin smiled and nodded, looking into the distance, but it was not the mansion in front of him, but the farther direction, which was the direction where the Qingwang Mansion was located, and it was only half a pillar of incense away from here, just like the Daiwang Mansion was to Xiangfu Building.

"There are still twelve days before the royal spring hunt, and the men and horses to be used by then have already been deployed? Did you choose the right position? Su Jin suddenly asked.

"It's been deployed, everything is ready, it's just ......" Du Xiu nodded in response, but hesitated halfway through speaking, "Chief, Emperor Chen went to Mishan to hunt this time, and the defense of the hunting ground is responsible for the defense of the military department and the general and deputy general of the imperial army, and the mobilization of troops is no less than eight thousand, and the escort is accompanied by five thousand forbidden troops led by the commander of the Praetorian Guard, no matter how powerful our people are, but after all, the number is limited, whether it is on the way or in the Mishan hunting ground, our people, not to mention whether we can really move him, I am afraid that even if it is done." , it's hard to get out of the whole body......" Du Xiu frowned slightly, faintly worried.

Su Jin looked sideways at Du Xiu but smiled faintly, "Do you know that I didn't really want to kill him when I arranged this assassination, besides, there are still few people in this world who have a deep hatred and hatred?" I am afraid that such a small assassination has not been broken since the moment he climbed to that position, but he is still intact, how can his life be so easy to take? ”

"This subordinate naturally knows, but if our painstaking arrangements can't hurt him in the slightest, how can we shake the solid position of Zhao Linchong, Xu Changzhen, and even Yang Jing, the commander of the forbidden army?"

Su Jin shook his head lightly and smiled lightly, "I didn't expect this to shake them!" I just think that Emperor Chen's peaceful life has been going on for too long, and I want to find something unpleasant for him, and by the way, I just plant a few seeds of doubt to facilitate my actions in the future! ”

"It turns out that the head master doesn't really want to do anything to Emperor Chen at all?" Du Xiu was surprised.

Again, he completely guessed this unfathomable and noble woman, but he believed that there should not be a second woman in this world who could make him admire and look up to him so much.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

A sudden low knock on the door behind them startled both of them, but fortunately they knew that if they were outsiders, they wouldn't be able to come here at all, so they let go of a slightly hanging heart.

"Come in!" Su Jin said lightly.

The door was pushed open, and a person walked in, it was Jing Yu.

"Chief, Qin Jie is here! It is said that the title deed of the brocade house over there will be handed over to you, and by the way, I will also take you over to see the house. ”

"Qin Jiedu has found here?" Du Xiu exclaimed.

Su Jin smiled lightly, "What's so strange about this, Jiyue Pavilion is my Su family's property, I have already told King Qing, he himself should have secretly verified it, plus I came over to 'check' the accounts in such a high-profile manner today, it would be strange if he didn't know that I was here!" ”

"Is the chief going down to see him?"

"Of course I want to see you! People come over so sincerely, why can't we be cold to people, right? Let's go! Go to meet Qin Jie for a while, and by the way, go and see the new house presented by King Qing! Su Jin smiled lightly, and as he spoke, the person had already walked out of the room and went downstairs, followed by Du Xiu and Jingyu.

As soon as the few people walked downstairs, Qin Jie, who was already waiting there, immediately walked up to Su Jin with a smile on his face and bowed, "Miss Su is really here!" Qin Jie took the liberty of coming without prior notice, and asked the girl for forgiveness! ”

"It's all your own people, what is Commander Qin talking about?" Su Jin smiled, and then looked sideways at Du Xiu, "There is a distinguished guest entering the pavilion, why don't you go and boil a pot of tea!" ”

Du Xiu hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Yes, three girls, Du Xiu will arrange it!" ”

"Su Jin doesn't have anything else here, there is a lot of good tea, the pavilion just shipped a batch of superb clouds and mist from Lingnan yesterday, and Commander Qin is still the first person to taste it!"

When Qin Jie heard that it was actually a cloud and mist point, and it was also the best, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yunwujian is the first of the seven famous teas in the world, its growth and collection conditions are extremely harsh, the total annual output is less than 500 catties, of which the best is less than 100 catties, which is a third of the tribute every year into the palace, and then the world of the four seas of Zhong Ming Ding food home, in the end how many can flow into the commercial houses around the world? But Su Jin actually said that he had shipped a batch of them, that is, there were one or twenty catties to say the least, and it was already seen that the status of Yingzhou Su's Tea Store in the world's tea industry should be how high it should be!

"Commander Qin, please here!" Su Jin raised his hand and smiled in the direction of the cabinet.

Qin Jie wanted to taste the best cloud and mist tip in his life, but there were two people behind him! Hurriedly changed his expression and excused himself, "Miss Su, you have received your kindness Qin Mou, but Qin Mou is a rough person, no matter how good the tea is, he can't taste any advantages and disadvantages, and Qin Mou drank such a valuable tea as Yunwujian It was also a waste of time, and Qin Mou specially sent the title deed to Miss Su, and by the way, I asked Miss Su to go over to see the new house, but she was still satisfied, and then she had to go back to the prince to return to the prince, so this tea is still free!" Qin Jie said with a smile, and as he spoke, he had already presented a stack of vouchers in his hand, "This is the title deed of the house over there, please Miss Su take a look!" ”

Su Jin took the list and looked at it, handed it to Bi Xi next to him, and said with a smile, "Commander Qin is naturally relieved that Su Jin is doing things!" In this case, then Su Jin is not good to delay Commander Qin's time any longer, but Su Jin has nothing to give back, so let's do it, tomorrow I will ask someone to pick up some high-quality tea to send to your prince, and by the way, I will also prepare a copy for Commander Qin, and talk about Su Jin's intentions, Commander Qin thinks this is good? ”

As soon as Qin Jie heard this, his heart suddenly became happy, but naturally he couldn't show it too much, so he only tried to restrain himself and smiled and said, "Miss Su is so attentive, Qin Mou is not good at refusing to resign, so it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" Qin is here, thank Miss Su in advance! ”

"Commander Qin is really out of sight!" Su Jin smiled.

"Miss Su, then please!"

"Okay, there's Lao Qin to lead the way!"

A few people walked out of Jiyue Pavilion, Su Jin's carriage was still parked next to the street in front of the pavilion, and the mounts of Qin Jie's three people were also here, and after Su Jin and a few people got into the carriage, Qin Jie's three people also turned over their horses, and their group slowly drove across the street, heading towards another street that was against Ganlin Street.

Jiyue Pavilion and the house were actually extremely close, so close that there were only two walls in the middle. However, because each street is different, you have to go around most of the circle to reach the gate of the mansion from Jiyue Pavilion.

"Miss Su, the house has arrived!" Walking in front, Qin Jie slowly stopped, turned the direction, and was facing Su Jin's carriageway behind him.

Jing Yu stopped the carriage, and Su Jin was helped out of the carriage by Bixi, and the position was in front of the gate of the mansion, the door was wide open, and two sturdy house slaves were already deployed on both sides.

Qin Jie walked quickly in front of Su Jin and said respectfully, "Miss Su, please!" ”

Su Jin smiled and nodded, and as Qin Jie stepped into the house, the first thing that caught his eye was a large pond that was directly opposite the gate but divided the road into two sides, the water of the pond was crystal clear, and there were even some swimming fish that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

"What a big pond!" Biyue sighed.

"This pond is the original one, but it has been abandoned for many years, it is full of silt, overgrown weeds, and the water is foul, but now it has all been cleaned up, the water is reintroduced, the fish have just been put down, and there are lotus flowers planted under the pond, I can't see it for the time being, but wait for two months, it should be able to grow on the surface of the water!"

"These rooms and halls have only been cleaned and cleaned, and there have been no major changes, firstly, I am afraid that it will be more time-consuming and affect Miss Su's relocation, and secondly, I don't know Miss Su's preferences, so they are still the same." Qin Jie introduced as he led the way.

Su Jin smiled slightly, "That's good, although the house is so big, there are only a few rooms I can use, and the others are just decorations, just whatever!" ”

"Miss Su, please!"

"Good!"

"From here in the past, it was the back garden of the house, and these rockeries were basically the original, but some craftsmen said that the location was not suitable, so there was a slight change. These green bamboos have just been planted, because I don't know what plants Miss Su likes, I think it is still the most suitable green bamboo, so most of the viewing plants here are bamboos, but they are not all planted, so that if Miss Su wants to plant something else, there is still space!

"This was originally an old locust tree, but the tree is too old, and the trunk has rotted into an empty shell, but I am afraid that it will not last long, and it may even hurt people if it suddenly breaks down one day, so I simply cut down the tree directly, and now Miss Su saw this small tree is an acacia tree, although it is not big now, but this tree grows relatively fast, and it should be able to bloom in two years!

"If you go out from here, you can go back to the vestibule, the atrium is Miss Su's main residence, but if Miss Su likes the backyard, it's all up to Miss Su's own arrangement!

"If there is anything that needs to be changed or is not satisfied, please ask Miss Su to bring it up, those craftsmen are still there, and they can continue to work at any time!"

Su Jin smiled lightly, "There is no more!" I am very satisfied with this house, and I hope that Commander Qin will go back and thank you on my behalf! ”

Qin Jie smiled and arched his hand, "Miss Su's heart Qin Jie will definitely bring it!" ”

"It's not early today, Commander Qin's task has been completed, I am also very satisfied with the house, Commander Qin's time is precious, I won't delay Commander Qin, if Commander Qin still has something to do, just go and be busy!"

"Miss Su, what are you talking about! Qin is really fortunate to be able to do some small things for Miss Su, so why delay! Miss Su must be preparing to go back, why don't you send Miss Su back by Qin? ”

"This place is not far from the Xiangfu Building where we are temporarily staying, and I have the three of them with me, so I won't trouble Commander Qin!" Su Jin smiled.

"In that case, then Qin Mou only sent Miss Su out, which is always something that can't be refused!" Qin Jie said with a smile.

Su Jin smiled lightly, "Commander Qin has said so, can I still have a reason to refuse?" ”

Qin Jie stepped back to the side, raised his hand and pointed in the direction he went out and smiled, "Miss Su, please!" ”

Su Jin smiled and bowed, and also obeyed Qin Jie's meaning, and several people left the mansion at the same time, and stopped in front of the gate again, "Commander Qin stays, then we will leave first!" Su Jin smiled.

"Miss Su, go slowly!"

It wasn't until he saw Su Jin and the four of them get into the carriage and gradually move away that Qin Jie walked down the steps and called one of his subordinates and whispered, "Let the spies over there in Jiyue Pavilion withdraw!" ”

"Aren't you spying anymore?" The subordinate was a little puzzled.

"It's almost! What's more, even if there is anything, it is not something that we can just send someone to monitor! ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

The subordinate immediately turned on his horse and headed for the Jiyue Pavilion on another street. Qin Jie then took the remaining subordinates on the horse and returned to King Qing's Mansion.

As the sound of horses' hooves drifted farther and farther down the street, and then completely subsided, a two-rider purple Roman chariot slowly came out of a small alley not far from the mansion.

Biyue's head stuck out from the window of the carriage and said indignantly, "This Qin Jie, sure enough, is one in front and one behind the back!" What's the name of a saying? Nothing to be courteous, either treacherous or evil! ”

"Adultery is theft! You should also go and read more books with Brother Zhao Shen! Jing Yu smiled.

"What do you care about me, I will say that it is either adultery or evil, and if it is not adultery, it is evil, what can you do to me?"

"Gotcha! I was wrong, I can't afford to mess with you! You can do whatever you like! ”

"Let's go! Back to Xiangfu Building. Su Jin said lightly.

"Yes, girl......" Jing Yu replied.
