Chapter 129: Diverting Attention
"Princess, grandmother, it's about Xia Yu's sister's marriage, otherwise it's better to wait for my father to come back and make a decision, officialdom is complicated and changeable, and my father should also consider who to marry."
Jin Su said leisurely, helping An Xiayu solve her urgent need in a timely manner.
Of course, the old lady knew Jinsu's strategy of delaying the army, and immediately agreed, "Yes, Su'er is right, there is no hurry to leave and right, it is better to wait for Heqing to come back and then decide!" β
failed to fulfill Princess Jinyan's wishes, her face immediately sank, and she didn't speak sullenly.
"Ouch, the dishes are all ready, let's eat quickly!" The old lady greeted.
An Xiayu and Aunt Wang didn't seem to be relaxed, their faces were still solemn and nervous.
After that, no one spoke anymore, and the whole family banquet process was extremely depressing. Everyone seemed uncomfortable, but they all had to endure it.
It wasn't until Jin Yan and Anya Sheng got up and left that this so-called family banquet was truly over.
An Suqing took the initiative to ask to send the old lady back to Yunxiang Courtyard, I don't know, I really think how filial he is, only Jinsu knows, he is not a drunkard, it is all on Qin Xiangyue.
Jinsu got up and was about to leave, when An Xiayu ran to her side and took her hand, looking pitiful.
"Eldest sisterβ"
"This is not the place to talk, let's talk as we go." Jin Su said, and motioned An Xiayu and Aunt Wang to go out.
Although An Xiayu hadn't spoken yet, Jinsu already knew what she was going to say.
Not far from the main hall, An Xiayu couldn't bear it, and asked eagerly, "Eldest sister, what should I do now?" The princess is determined to marry me to that Tang San Gongzi! β
"This matter has not been decided yet, what are you anxious about. Didn't I just say that everything will have to wait for my father to come back. Jin Su said calmly.
"The lord has always cared about our mother and daughter, isn't this kind of thing up to the princess?" Aunt Wang also said worriedly.
"Aunt Wang, don't worry, I will definitely help Sister Xia Yu in this matter. Marrying a swinger brother like Tang Rongshu is really wronged Xia Yu! β
"Thank you, eldest sister!" An Xiayu said obediently and gratefully.
"With the words of the eldest lady, I am relieved. My life is over, I hope Xia Yu can marry a good family, and the rest of my life will be a little better. Aunt Wang said bitterly.
"It's getting late, so go back and rest first." Jinsu said.
An Xiayu and Aunt Wang were a little reluctant, as if they were not satisfied with what Jin Su had just said. Especially An Xiayu, holding Jinsu's hand, never let go.
Jin Su was helpless, so she had to lean sideways and whisper a few words in An Xiayu's ear, which made her and Aunt Wang leave happily.
Back at Hanlian Courtyard, when Bai Qian asked about this, Jinsu only smiled and did not answer.
She knew the situation of the Tang family very well in her heart, and she could casually think of no less than ten ways to make the Tang family stop this idea. With their current strength, they should not have the courage to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for relatives, even if An Xiayu is just a concubine.
In the final analysis, eighty percent is Jin Yan's idea, and its purpose is likely to not want the two of them to hold together, and there is no way to take her, so she can only take An Xiayu to the knife. Another one, if An Xiayu marries Tang Rongshu, a swinger brother, then it is almost impossible for her to get ahead in this life.
However, what she said to An Xiayu was not this, but to tell her how to let Princess Jinyan take care of herself!
The night had fallen, and Bai Zhi still secretly gave Mei'er and other maids some ** as usual, so that they could sleep until dawn.
Jinsu asked Bai Zhi to stay in Hanlian Courtyard to adapt to the situation, and he and Bai Qi went out at night.
I don't know if it's because of the bleak autumn breeze or if it's really late, Yi Xueju is silent, and only two or three rooms are still lit with oil lamps.
Jin Su walked to Kong Yi's bedroom with a familiar way, and suddenly wanted to be naughty on a whim. Pick up a few leaves and throw them towards the window.
The fast leaves passed through the papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows, and in an instant, the oil lamp went out. But there was no other movement in the house.
Jin Su hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, signaling Bai Qi to break in through the door, while she climbed in through the window. Silently and Bai Qi made secret signals, and the two of them were almost uninvited at the same time.
It was pitch black inside, and Jin Su rolled around on the ground after turning in, and wanted to find a place to hide first and then make plans, but who knows, a strong hand caught her at once.
Jin Su subconsciously wanted to throw out the silver needle in the other sleeve, but before he could exert his strength, he was held down.
Immediately after, I heard Kong Yi laugh coldly, "What's the matter, you still want to use the kung fu I taught you to defeat me?" β
Now that he has been recognized, Jin Su didn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Oh, master, light, light, it hurts!" β
"Miss?" Bai Qi screamed worriedly, and then the oil lamp was lit.
"Master~" Jin Su flattered and shouted again, and Kong Yicai finally retracted.
Jin Su rubbed his arm while following behind Kong Yi and praised, "I can't imagine that the master has retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is still not old!" However, how does the master know that it is me? β
"Shh Kong Yi snorted disdainfully, "Can't you tell the difference between the apprentices you have taught?" You underestimate your master too much! β
As he spoke, he sat down in front of the bookcase and sorted out the ancient medical books that had been copied. On the surface, it seemed that he was indifferent to her, but after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you are quite favored in the palace, I thought you wouldn't come back!" β
"Uh-why does even the master think so, does it mean that the master also thinks I'm a caged bird for people to play with?" After Jinsu finished speaking, he also pursed his mouth, looking a little aggrieved.
"I'm afraid that's what you'll say, women in the world, who doesn't want to enter the palace?"
"Uh-" Jin Su followed behind Kong Yi and stuck out her tongue at him, amusing Bai Qi on the side, covering her mouth and snickering.
"You-" Kong Yi turned around suddenly, just grabbed a figure, poked Jinsu's head, and sighed, "I'm telling you seriously, revenge is important, but it's not in a hurry." It's a big deal for your marriage......"
"Master," Jin Su interrupted Kong Yi and diverted the topic and asked, "What has Qingfeng been busy with lately?" β
"I don't know, he seems to have only come back yesterday......"
"Come back, then I'll go talk to him about something," Jinsu said, raising his feet and walking out.
"Eh, I'm not done yet!" Kong Yi shouted behind her.
It's okay not to shout, this shout, Jin Su's feet are as if they are smeared with oil, and they slip faster.
Regarding her marriage, it is the last topic she wants to talk about, and she can generously say that she has never met such a person before. But now, it seems that everyone knows that Emperor Ji Wu has a deep affection for her, uh~~ Of course, this may be her own thoughts, after all, she didn't give Kong Yi a chance to finish speaking.
Coming to Qingfeng's room, Jinsu returned to a serious appearance. Although most of the affairs of the Dark Night Gate are now handled by Qingfeng on his own, Jinsu occasionally asks a question or two.
The three of them sat around the table, and the people in Yi Xueju were basically trustworthy, so they could rest assured when speaking.
"Some time ago, the death of the governor of Shanxi has something to do with us?" The stakes are high, Jin Su asked bluntly.
Qingfeng replied without thinking, "Yes, I personally led someone to do it!" β
"I'm relieved that you're doing things. But now that the imperial court is holding on to this matter, I'm afraid it will send a messenger to investigate, and our previous contacts, all of whom should be withdrawn, should be withdrawn! β
"The master is not wrong at all, I just got the news today, the official family sent His Royal Highness and Lord Xiangguo to check in person, and I was thinking about how to inform the master, and you are here."
"His Royal Highness and Father, it turned out that I really went to investigate this matter," Jin Su muttered quietly, she didn't see An Heqing during the family banquet, she had such a conjecture, but she didn't expect it to be so sudden.
"Master, look at this letter," Qingfeng said, handing her a letter.
Without hesitation, Jin Su unfolded the letter paper, and on it was a hidden poem.
The meaning is simple and clear, that is, I want to ask Qingfeng to meet and talk, and this kind of code, Jin Su is also very familiar with, it is the method used by Liang Guogong, the largest money bag in Kyoto City, βββ Dark Night Gate.
"When did you receive this?" Jinsu asked.
"Just now, when it was about dark, the previous governor of Shanxi, who was also commissioned by him, was 300,000 taels of silver as soon as he made a move," Qingfeng responded.
"So this time, their target may be His Royal Highness and Father!" Jin Su guessed.
Qingfeng nodded in approval.
"But if we ignore it, what's wrong?" Jin Su frowned, a little worried.
"We have always been in contact through secret piles in Kyoto City, and even if it is an interview, it is a hidden identity, so it stands to reason that it should not have a big impact." Qingfeng analyzed carefully.
Jin Su thought about it for a while, and then decided, "You might as well meet him tomorrow, after all, they are also old acquaintances, and if they don't meet suddenly, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion." Then we will hear what he wants to do, and if it is really as we expected, it will definitely not be able to come down! The rules of the Night Gate, the same place, the same case, never set foot twice! β
"At the same time, cut off your connection with the dark pile, and if necessary, you can abandon the pawn to protect the car! Over there in Shanxi, I'm still not at ease, let Bai Zhi run again in person, and make sure that no one can find any clues! β
Qingfeng arched his hand and answered, "Yes!" β
"Also, sort out all the lists that involved the court officials before and send them back to Luoqi Mountain in advance! Take care of the rest of the books and the like! I'm afraid that this Kyoto City will soon usher in a bloody storm," Jin Su said thoughtfully.
