Shen Mi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the bowl of Yamen special offerings bought for one tael of silver and thirty catties, and then looked deeply at Gu Zhicheng. He is not a fool, how can he not see that he has something on his mind in his arms? Could it be that he also came for Lu Ding's incident?

"I don't know what Brother Gu is looking for me?" He asked with a smile.

Gu Zhicheng resisted the urge to frown and swallowed two sips of the coarse tea, and said as easily as possible: "Brother Lu Shi went to Guangxi with a whole hundred thousand taels of silver, this is such a large amount of money, it is really smacking." I don't know if Brother Lu Shi's side has enough manpower? "If Lu Deng has enough henchmen around him, it may not necessarily make people succeed.

Shen Mi's eyes deepened. He stared at him for a moment, leaned over slightly and said, "Could it be that Brother Gu Shi is interested?" ”

Gu Zhicheng was stunned suddenly, and his hands shook like a Western pendulum: "No, no, no!" I'm just asking! "Just kidding, that's the imperial court's disaster relief silver! If he's interested in it, he's not too long!

Shen Mi straightened up, was silent for a moment, and said: "This task is very heavy, but it takes a long time, so the emperor appointed four officials from the household department to accompany him. I believe that with their concerted efforts, this errand in Guangxi will definitely be able to be done well. ”

He spoke slowly, and the previous joy had faded a little by now.

Now it is obvious that Gu Zhicheng is here for Lu Ding, but he still doesn't understand, what does this have to do with him Gu Zhicheng?

Shen Mi, who only considered from Lu Ting's position, naturally couldn't guess that Gu Zhicheng was confused by Shen Yan, who had predicted the future, and now his mind was full of whether this matter would affect the prospects of the exchanges between the two governments, as well as some unknowable accidents, in his mind, the future of the family was only the most important, not more important.

When Gu Zhicheng heard that there were only four officials accompanying him, he suddenly said something bad in his heart!

Only four people, or officials, what good can this do? Sometimes although talent is rare, you still have to have an identity that can calm the scene at a critical time, right?

"I heard that the terrain in Guangxi is remote, and as the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and Brother Ziyan should persuade Brother Lu Shi to think twice."

After thinking about it for a long time, he said.

Shen Mi smiled.

If he had received the news earlier, he might have persuaded him, but now that the emperor has made an order, what is the use of him persuading him again? What's more, he actually hoped that he would be able to do this smoothly. As a confidant, shouldn't you be happy for the other person's achievements?

"Brother Gu Shi's words are very true, but this is the emperor's will, not you and me." He said.

Gu Zhicheng was a little deflated.

In fact, he also knows that persuasion is useless, whether Lu Ingot will let go is hard to say, even if he agrees to let go, what will the emperor do?

Half an hour later, he left the Ministry of Rites listlessly.

As soon as Gu Zhicheng returned to the Rongguo Mansion, Shen Yan got the news, although the people she sent out did not know what he was talking about with Shen Mi, but at least he went to the official room of the Ministry of Rites and named Shen Mi There is no doubt about this.

The more Gu Zhicheng is out of state, the more it shows that her medicine is very accurate.

Originally, she wasn't sure if he would care about Lu Ingot in the end, but what she was sure of was that after the will of the DPRK came down, he would go to Shen Mi nine times out of ten, once Shen Mi's heart for Lu Ingot was very obvious, then he would never ignore this matter if he wanted to develop with the Shen family.

So she only went to Mo Juxuan to find Shen Mi last night, when she told him so solemnly about her attitude towards Lu ing, how could Shen Mi show a hint of casualness when she mentioned her best friend in front of Gu Zhicheng today? Besides, Shen Mi is not a shallow person, when Gu Zhicheng suddenly asks him about Lu Ding, he will inevitably deal with it well.

As long as Gu Zhicheng saw his demeanor, he would understand that what she speculated that day was not unfounded.

Now that we've come to this point, what's next?

She guessed that Gu Zhicheng should come to her again in the next two days.

But even if he didn't come to her, it would be the same if she went to the Gu family to find him.

She called Rouge in: "Continue to stare at the Gu family, especially Gu Shizi." ”

Although Rouge didn't understand where Gu Shizi offended her, and it was worth her staring at people like this, she still nodded her head and acted according to her words.

Shen Yan spread out the scroll here and was about to practice calligraphy, but Qingdai lifted the curtain and walked in, it turned out that Qiuxi was here.

"Second girl, Mrs. please come to the Yaori Hall to speak."

Mrs. Shen looking for her? The scriptures have already been sent, what else does she have to look for her? Shen Yan looked at Qingdai under the curtain, and Qingdai shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. She thought about it, stood up and walked to the threshold, easily removed a red gold silk chain in her hand and stuffed it into Qiuxi's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't know what my wife called me?" ”

Qiu Xi hesitated, pushed the gold chain back, and smiled: "The slave doesn't know what's going on, and the girl will know when she goes." ”

Shen Yan's eyes were cold. She didn't plan that Qiuxi would get to the bottom of her, but she just spied on her reaction. Now it seems that I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

It's enough to know this.

She put the chain back on her wrist and said, "Let's go." ”

When Qiuxi left, she immediately leaned on Qingdai's ear and commanded.

After a short time, when I arrived at Yaori Hall, Mrs. Shen sat on a low couch, and her posture was as beautiful as it was for ten years.

And Shen Yi and Shen Ying were actually there, Shen Yi half-covered his face with a fan, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at him with worry. Shen Ying was still delicate and weak, looking at the ground, and got up slightly when she saw Shen Yan coming in.

Shen Yan saluted Mrs. Shen, but Mrs. Shen also got straight to the point and said, "I heard that Gu Shizi came to the mansion to look for you yesterday and said something for a long time in private?" ”

It is not a secret that Gu Zhicheng entered Xiyue Hall, because there is no need to hide it, Shen Yan estimated that Mrs. Shen knew when Gu Zhicheng entered the mansion yesterday, if she was not in the right situation, she would immediately send someone to pass her on, but it was not until a day and a night later that she asked her about it, which inevitably made people a little confused.

Shen Yan raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Shen, only to see that her face was dignified, although she was not gentle, but she was not very annoyed, so she replied: "Back to Mrs., Gu Shizi did come to the house yesterday and asked me about my father's going out fishing. Because I respected the prince as a distinguished guest in our house, I chatted with him for a few words. ”

Mrs. Shen frowned, "Although Gu Shizi is a distinguished guest, he is also a foreign man. Don't you know that when you meet a foreign man, you need to be accompanied by an elder? ”

Shen Yan looked at her, and her face couldn't help but condense.

Gu Zhicheng is indeed a foreign man, which is true, but not only is there a difference in rank between the two, she is still a girl, Mrs. Shen is like this, is it too careful?

"Mrs. don't blame the second sister, I want to come to my sister to return to Beijing soon, and there are some rules that I haven't adapted. I also asked my wife to give the second sister a chance, and she will definitely not do it again next time. ”

At this time, Shen Ying suddenly stood up and said weakly to Mrs. Shen.

Shen Yi quickly threw a glance at Shen Ying.

Shen Yan frowned when he heard this.

She is not a three-year-old child anymore, Shen Ying seems to be pleading for her, but in fact she is convicting her, she is very good at this kind of trick. At the moment, Mrs. Shen didn't say how to punish her, but she pleaded for her first! Isn't this forcing Mrs. Shen to set rules for her?

Sure enough, when Mrs. Shen heard this, not only did she not extinguish the fire, but her face changed suddenly: "It's been two months since I returned to Beijing, and I don't even understand these most basic rules?" Could it be that the people over there in Jinling have no rules? I don't even want the reputation of the girl's family! You lost your face alone, don't you know that the face of the Shen family will be ruined by you if you do this?! ”

Shen Yan silently took a deep breath, stood on the ground with his chest straight, and replied: "If you go back to your wife, the rules of Jinling are big, if you don't say anything else, just talk about Washington, don't say that the girl from the concubine doesn't have the right to intervene in front of the hall, even the girl from the concubine will not say anything when the wife speaks." If it is committed, it will be punished lightly and kneeling for one day, and the heavy will be ten times with the palm of the mouth. ”

Everyone never expected her to be so hard, Shen Yi was stunned, and Shen Ying's cheeks turned red.

Shen Yan looked at the past calmly, and the determination in his eyes was not discounted at all.

No one has ever taught her to be patient, and she has never thought of living a life of grievance, if she has to live a small and low life with her background and her reborn identity, how can so many women in the world who are not as good as her live?

As the eldest sister, she has no reason to be pinched by a little girl!

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen instantly realized what she was referring to, so she glared at Shen Ying.

The first person in this family is not Ansheng, how old is Shen Ying, how old does she dare to play tricks under her nose several times? And the key is that Shen Yan is very good at fighting back, indeed in Yaori Hall, how can she have a concubine to interject?

She sank her face and said slowly: "In this way, sure enough, the rules of our family are too light, take Sister Ying'er to the house and kneel for three hours." ”

After kneeling for three hours, it was almost time to hold the lamp, Shen Ying's thin shoulders trembled, and tears rolled down her knees, "Mrs! Sister Ying'er is wrong, Sister Ying'er shouldn't interject! Ask your wife for forgiveness! Then he knelt down in front of Shen Yan and grabbed her sleeve: "Second sister, did you spare me?" I really want to intercede for my sister! ”

Shen Yan really wanted to tear open her beauty skin and see what kind of goblin lived in it.

She looked at her, indifferent.

Shen Ying was taken into the next room.

Mrs. Shen glared at Shen Yan: "You also kneel for me!" ”

"Mother, slow down!"

Shen Yan was about to speak, when Shen Mi's voice came from outside the door.

It turned out that after Gu Zhicheng left, he didn't have much mind on business, and was thinking about where to go to take a walk, so Qingdai sent the little servant Song He over, and heard that Shen Yan was called by Mrs. Shen again, so he simply went back to the house. R1152
