It wasn't until the evening that Xin Er came back from the palace.

Hearing Liu Zhuang's report that Zhang Gu and Huang Rong were in the small hall, Xin Er did not return to the back house, so he came directly to the small hall to see them.

Zhang Gui and Huang Rong bowed down to greet each other.

Xin Er waved his hand casually and said, "Get up, how many times have you said it, let's not engage in these false courtesies." ”

As he spoke, he opened his arms, and Liu Le, who entered the palace with him and came back with him, instructed the maidservant to take off his official uniform.

Liu Le has the same name as Ling Hule, but now he has changed his name and is no longer called Liu Le. Her new name was given to her by Zuo, taken from the Buddhist scriptures, called "Jialuo". Gara is the name of an incense stick that is often used to worship the Buddha.

Liu Jialuo has been pregnant for six or seven months, and she is very pregnant, with a big belly, and it is a little difficult to walk.

After helping Xin Er take off his official uniform, Liu Jialuo took over the household clothes held by the maidservant and wanted to wear them for Xin Er himself.

Xin Er held her hand and smiled lovingly: "After entering the palace for half a day, you can't take a break, you are also tired for a long time." Don't I even know how to wear a single dress? Go back to the house and rest! "Take the purple brocade robe and put it on.

When he was in the palace, Ling Hule was curious about the fetus in Liu Jialuo's womb, and he listened to it with his ears, and reached out to touch it, jumping around Liu Jialuo, chattering, and shouting. In the end, even Zuo's couldn't stand it, and he felt sorry for Liu Jialuo's tiredness, so he repeatedly stopped Ling Hule.

Although Liu Jialuo has been a wife for a long time, and now she is pregnant earlier, but in front of Zhang Gui and Huang Rong, she was shaken hands warmly and warmly, and she was still shy, and she had the heart to pull out her hand, but she unconsciously accommodated Xin Er.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew her hand gently, blushed slightly, saluted Huang Rong and Zhang Gui, and went out with her stomach propped up with the support of the two maidservants.

Perhaps from Liu Jialuo's body, thinking of when his wife was pregnant, Zhang Gui smiled warmly and watched Liu Jialuo go out of the hall.

He said to Xin Er: "Ming Gong, the more this time, the more you must pay attention to the safety of the fetus!" ”

Xin Er got on the bed, motioned for them to sit down too, and said with a smile: "The middle palace called the medical officer in the palace, and specially gave Xiaoxiaohe a fetal pill." The small body bones are still very healthy; The daily diet is in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and Liu Weng is in charge of the operation, so there will be no problems. I entered the palace today because the king had mentioned it many times, and I had to see her, so I had no choice but to go out with me. ”

Zhang Gu is fine, as long as he is not on duty, he will come to Xin's house to listen to the errand, even if he is on duty, every day when he is on duty, he will come to Xin's house to take a turn.

Huang Rong is different from him.

Huang Rong is busy with official business, since he arrived in the capital, he has actively expanded his social circle, and has made friends with many officials in the court, Wuwei County and Guyin County, and he usually has a lot of entertainment.

Xin Er knew their temperament and habits very well, so he got straight to the point, asked Huang Rong, and said: "Jing Huan, today is not your day of rest, you are not on duty, come to me and wait for a long time, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Ming Gong, Rong saw Ji Wei last night."

"See you last night?"

"Yes."

At that moment, Huang Rong told Xin Er in detail about seeing Ji Wei last night.

Xin Er listened, touched his short mustache, and thought silently.

"Before Ming Gong came back, Rong and Changling did some analysis, looking at Ji Wei's appearance and Ji Wei's words, Rong thought that this person was the head of the rat."

"How?"

Although he was wronged, he was afraid of Song Fang's obscenity, and was worried that his younger brother would be persecuted by Song Fang again. Yin Luo, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the truth and successfully overturn the case for him. ”

The reason why Xin Er wanted to re-examine Ji Wei was to find out Song Fang's mistakes and achieve the goal of attacking Song Fang.

But if Ji Wei can't successfully overturn the case, and the results of Yin Luo's verification prove that Song Fang is right, then Xin Er's move is not only in vain, but also won't he bring humiliation on himself and become a laughing stock?

This is self-evident.

Xin Er pondered for a long time, looked at Huang Rong and Zhang Gu quietly, and asked, "Do you two have any suggestions for this?" ”

Zhang Gui said: "Those who are valued by mortals are only virtuous. The Ji family, Wuwei is also famous. Ji Wei is also known as an honor. Today, Ji Wei's examination class is a palace, and Shiliu commented that he is stupid and incompetent, which not only damages his own name, but also harms the reputation of the clan. Ming Gong decided to re-evaluate him, which was to give him a chance to defend himself; And it is precisely because of Song Fang's prestige that if he dares to speak out, he can be known as not afraid of power.

"The turtle fool thought that using this as a metaphor might change his mind and set his mind."

Xin Er asked Huang Rong and said, "Jing Huan, what do you think?" ”

Huang Rong glanced at the turtle eye and said, "Rong thinks that what Changling said is very true. ”

Zhang Gu couldn't hear his words and was insincere, how could Xin Er not hear it?

Xin Er didn't say anything, and said in his heart: "Jing Huan must have another plan, but it's not good to say it in front of Changling." ”

Guess what his idea would be?

I couldn't guess for a while.

That's it.

In the evening, Zhang Gui and Huang Rong had dinner.

Neither of them is an outsider, in order to show their closeness, Xin Er called Ah Ugly to come out to serve.

Ling Huyan thought that Zhang Gui was ugly, and Huang Rong was scheming and not cool enough, so he was too lazy to see them and didn't show up.

After dinner, Zhang Gui and Huang Rong said goodbye.

Xin Er sent them out of the room and turned back to the small hall to sit down.

Ah Chou asked strangely, "Everyone, don't you go back to the back house?" ”

Xin Er drank some wine during the meal, a little drunk, he used some sobering soup, took tea soup and rinsed his mouth, reclined on the couch, picked up a toothpick, covered his mouth and picked his teeth, and said leisurely: "I'll wait for Jing Huan later." ”

Ah Chou was inexplicable, and became more and more puzzled by what Xin Er meant, and said, "Didn't Huang Changshou just leave? ”

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"Within a quarter of an hour, if Jing Huan doesn't come back, you have the final say tonight; If he returns, I'll have the final say tonight. How? Xin Er's eyes were full of smiles, wandering on the ugly red lips and the plump buttocks wrapped in the green gauze skirt.

Ah Chou knelt down on the couch, playing with the thick braids on his chest, tilting his face, his eyes were rolling, he pursed his lips, and said: "Everyone is so sure, it seems that the cheap maid is lost." ”

Xin Er was wrong, Mo said a quarter of an hour, waited for half an hour, and still didn't see Huang Rong turn back.

I ordered the little slave to go out and look, but the alley was empty at night.

In fact, Xin Er's guess was not wrong, after Huang Rong and Zhang Gui went out, he wanted to come back, but temporarily changed his mind and did not come to see Xin Er again, but went to Tang Ai's house.

Tang Ai is an amateur, he does not have a house in the old city, and his family is also in the middle city.

I met Tang Ai at Tang's house.

Tang Ai was quite surprised by Huang Rong's uninvited guest, and stepped out to greet him in his clothes, and when he heard that Huang Rong said that there was a secret matter to discuss, he led him to the study.

The night was dark and the room was dimly lit.

The figures of the two were reflected in the window paper.

At first, the two sat opposite each other and talked, then Tang Ai got up and paced around the room, and then he went back to the couch and sat down.

After saying for a short time, Huang Rong got up, walked to Tang Ai's side, bowed down, and whispered to him.

After speaking, Huang Rong returned to his seat.

The two looked at each other and seemed to be silent for a moment.

At the end, Tang Ai picked up the feather fan on the case and patted it on the leg, as if he had made a decision.

Huang Rong and Tang Ai's voices were low from beginning to end.

It was only at this time that the slave maid serving outside the door heard a word, which was said by Tang Ai: "That's it!" ”

Then, the two talked carefully for another hour, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Nearly three watches, Huang Rong said goodbye.

Tang Ai sent Huang Rong out of the hospital, and at the door, asked him: "Why didn't you give Ming Gong this matter first?" ”

Under the moonlight, the wind rose, Huang Rong's long beard fluttered, and his white clothes were like snow.

He said angrily: "This kind of thing, Ming Gong had better not know about it!" It will be done without damaging the reputation of the Ming Dynasty; If you fail, you will be honored! ”

……

Although Song Fang's news is not as good as Song Hong's, it is also relatively well-informed.

Huang Rong went to see Ji Wei last night, and he learned about it this morning.

Just as Huang Rong was waiting for Xin Er in the afternoon, Song Fang summoned Duan Chengsun.
