Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Round Lie
After the two of them finished breakfast and cleaned up, Pei Yuan accompanied Shen Jiahe to the inn to pick up Bai Wei, they had already lied to Shen's mother, people can't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so naturally they can only take it to the Xianwang Mansion first.
Bai Wei was restless all day yesterday, but she didn't dare to go out, for fear that she would have to explain a lot when someone who didn't know about the Prime Minister saw it.
It wasn't until the night that Shen Jiajue sent someone to send her a letter, she was at ease, and she got up before dawn this morning, but she didn't know whether she should go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, or go to the Xianwang Mansion to find Miss, she heard a knock on the door outside, so she quickly opened the door, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Shen Jiahe outside the door.
"Miss, are you okay, are you hurt?" Bai Wei saw that Shen Jiahe was busy and asked directly.
Shen Jiahe let Pei Yuan stay outside, and he followed Bai Wei into the house: "I'm fine, nothing happened, don't worry." ”
Bai Wei believed there, and pulled Shen Jiahe to check back and forth before reassuring: "If Miss is in any danger, Bai Wei is really to blame." ”
Shen Jiahe shook his head and comforted her: "This incident is an accident, what does it have to do with you, let's go back, we will send you over after packing up our things." ”
Since Shen Jiahe didn't go back to the palace, he was naturally ready to continue to send Bai Wei back to her parents' house, but Bai Wei said that she didn't agree: "Miss doesn't have to send the slaves and maids in person, you can send a few little maids to send them, you have been out for a day and a night, and if you don't go back, the lord and the lady will be worried." ”
Pei Yuan nodded in agreement: "This king will send the guards around him to send Bai Wei back safely, you don't have to worry." ”
Shen Jiahe grinded for a long time, and both of them disagreed, so they had to agree, thinking of Bai Wei's dowry, Shen Jiahe hurriedly asked Pei Yuan: "Did your people help me find those things that were taken away by the robbers before?" ”
They came back early last night, and at that time, the people from the Secret Guard and the Yuan Pavilion had not yet returned, and Pei Yuan didn't know the specific situation now; "Let's go back to the palace first, and then ask about the situation when the dark guard returns."
Not long after returning to the Xianwang Mansion, Lao Xiao of the Yuan Pavilion came back with someone to return to his life, last night he was covered with a black scarf, and it was dark, she only vaguely felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but she didn't recognize it.
Seeing him standing in front of him dressed in black, Shen Jiahe pointed at him and said in surprise: "Aren't you the owner of that store?" ”
Bai Wei also stretched out her head to take a look, and muttered in a low voice: "It's the one who wants to give Miss a hairpin, and the slave can remember it clearly." ”
Although her voice is small, but they are all martial arts practitioners, and their hearing is naturally better than ordinary people, Lao Xiao was worried that Pei Yuan would misunderstand, so he quickly explained embarrassedly: "Last time, I deliberately tested Miss Shen's skills, and I was really offended." ”
This was similar to Shen Jiahe's guess at the time, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but just looked at Pei Yuan with a puzzled face.
Pei Yuan didn't want to hide these things from her, so he coughed lightly and came forward to introduce Lao Xiao: "This is the military advisor of the Yuan Pavilion, but he doesn't stay in the Yuan Pavilion on weekdays, but only pours some ingenious things to sell in the store." ”
Selling things is also selling news, Lao Xiao's shop is one of the intelligence sites of Yuanyuan, Shen Jiahe has been an agent for many years, and he doesn't need Pei Yuan to say it too clearly, and he only nodded when he knew the key.
She stared at the hairpin on Pei Yuanyuan for a long time, and that look made Pei Yuan sit on pins and needles all the time, and finally waited patiently for Lao Xiao to leave, then touched her nose and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Jiahe snorted coldly and asked unhappily: "Are you embarrassed to ask me what's wrong?" ”
Pei Yuan smiled cautiously, and pretended to ponder hard for a long time: "After thinking about it for a long time, there seems to be nothing wrong." ”
Shen Jiahe pointed to the hairpin on his head, and broke his fingers with Pei Yuan to settle the account: "The hairpin I bought for you last time was bought in the hands of this old Xiao, don't tell me that you don't know." ”
Pei Yuan smiled, he really didn't expect Shen Jiahe to be thinking about this matter: "This was done by Lao Xiao for me, and it doesn't hurt if you send it, so I didn't say much." ”
"The hairpin was given to you, and the silver was finally earned by you, no, I think I'm at a loss, how can you even earn my silver!" Shen Jiahe snorted and complained to him.
"It's my fault, but you give it to me so sincerely, I always have to take it well, I'm afraid that if I talk too much, you will think that I don't like this gift." Pei Yuan felt that Shen Jiahe was really getting more and more cute.
"Humph quibble!" Don't believe your nonsense.
Pei Yuan rarely saw her playing tricks on herself, and coaxed her in a good mood: "Then what do you want?" ”
Shen Jiahe glared at him angrily: "You have to give me back the silver!" ”
Pei Yuan laughed twice, while saying good, he stepped forward and hugged Shen Jiahe in his arms for a long time, Bai Wei saw that the two were getting close, so she quietly retreated from the side.
Father-in-law Fu stood outside the door to go in to say goodbye, but seeing that the two of them were so bad to go in, he was about to leave to see Bai Wei come out, so he told her: "The prince's people sent two boxes of things, it should be Miss Bai Wei's marriage, you go and see if there is anything missing, I see that the box is a little damaged, I am afraid that it needs to be reorganized." ”
Bai Wei went to the outer hall and put the two boxes in the middle of the room, she stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the contents were turned over in a mess, probably someone took some away when they were fleeing for their lives while the fire started.
She carefully checked it, threw out some intact and undamaged ones, and then asked Father-in-law Fu for two new boxes to put back together, but the original two boxes were full, but now one of the boxes is mostly empty, not wanting Shen Jiahe to worry, Bai Wei privately asked Father-in-law to quickly dispose of the old boxes and broken things.
But Shen Jiahe finally knew from Liuyu that she was going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to prepare something for Bai Wei again, but when she thought that she would definitely not be able to come out after she went back, she dispelled the idea of going back.
But Bai Wei couldn't let her go back like this, Shen Jiahe thought for a while and had to go to Pei Yuan: "I lost a lot of the dowry I prepared for Bai Wei, but if I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get it now, I will definitely not be able to get out." ”
Pei Yuan thought for a while, and took out some silver from the box where he had saved money: "There are a lot of things in my private treasury, but most of them come out of the palace, and Bai Wei can't use it, so I'll give you some silver, and you can take someone outside to buy some more." ”
Shen Jiahe took the silver and assured him very seriously: "Even if I borrow you, I will pay you back when I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Pei Yuan saw her running away in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Do you have the consciousness that we will be a family in the future!" ”
Shen Jiahe took Bai Wei out and bought some things, and only after the two boxes were filled did he return to the Xianwang Mansion satisfied, and most of the day passed, in order to let Bai Wei get home before dark, Pei Yuan urged Shen Jiahe to say goodbye.
Shen Jiahe watched the little girl carry the box into the carriage, and the reluctance in her heart surged again, she pulled Bai Wei aside, stuffed a letter to her, and whispered: "This letter must be handed over to Cheng Yifeng, and others must not mention it, remember." ”
Shen Jiahe discussed with Pei Yuan yesterday how to solve the mine, it is said that such a large mine will be reported to the imperial court, but Shen Jiahe privately dislikes the current emperor, so he has other thoughts.
Pei Yuan didn't care, he only asked her at the time: "A mine of this scale can't be mined by one or two people, and I think this is also the reason why the group of robbers didn't take action after they found out, if you want to collect it for your own use, I'm afraid you will have to prepare a lot." ”
Shen Jiahe had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know if it was feasible, so he asked: "What if you tell Cheng Yifeng?" Will he, as the one who discovered the cave, have the right to mine? This can be regarded as finding a long-term livelihood for their family. ”
Pei Yuan thought about it carefully, and then laughed: "Others may not be able to, but Cheng Yifeng can, who let him have a younger brother who is a soldier in the military department, I think that people in the court will sell the military department to save face." ”
With Pei Yuan's guarantee, Shen Jiahe was relieved, and the letter he took away to Bai Wei wrote in detail about the mining cave, and of course he also stuffed some silver tickets, if he really opened the mining cave, he would definitely have to invest some silver money in the early stage.
Thinking of those silver tickets, Shen Jiahe couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth again, this is what Pei Yuan gave her today, and it is the money for the hairpin.
After the carriage that sent Bai Wei back to his hometown left, Pei Yuan arranged another carriage to send Shen Jiahe back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, in order not to let the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion see it, the carriage also deliberately spared the road, Shen Jiahe went back and wanted to rest directly for a while, but she didn't expect Shen's mother to send the maid next to her to ask her to go to the main courtyard for dinner.
Knowing that the family was here today, Shen Jiahe forced her spirits to pass, and when Shen's mother saw her, she couldn't help but ask: "How is Uncle Bai Wei?" Are you close to Bai Wei? I won't beat her about the bride price. ”
Shen Jiahe hadn't seen Bai Wei's uncle, but he had only heard Bai Wei talk about it, so he could only lie to Shen's mother at this time: "Her uncle is very good, besides, I personally sent her back, and her uncle also knew that Bai Wei was a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't dare to beat her bride price." ”
Mother Shen nodded: "That's good, why is it also a maid who has been with you for so long, if she can live well, you can rest assured." ”
Shen Xiang sat aside, but his face was not very good, and when he saw that Shen's mother always said that these were useless, he knocked on the dishes and chopsticks: "You can send Bai Wei home, how can you stay overnight in someone else's house, Miss Yao is now Mrs. Cheng, you can't interact as casually as before." ”
Shen Jiahe sighed in his heart, and secretly gave Pei Yuan a thumbs up, fortunately he had concealed the news of her robbery before, otherwise his father would definitely be even angrier than now.
This will only admit his mistake to Shen Xiang with a smile: "My daughter is wrong, I will never go home at night in the future, my father can rest assured." ”
Shen Xiang snorted: "I hope you do what you say, don't leave everything behind in a blink of an eye!" ”
Shen Jiahui stepped forward to scoop a bowl of peanut cheese for Shen Xiang, sent it to him, and said good things for his sister: "This time there is also a reason for the incident, it is not that Bai Wei is going to marry someone who is related to the Cheng family, my sister just talked more to Miss Yao, I think I am also worried that Bai Wei will marry badly, after all, it is my sister who single-handedly promoted the marriage, and it is her personal maid, it is normal to care so much, father, don't blame her." ”
Shen Jiajue sat on the side and nodded again and again, and also diligently took a chopstick and sent it over: "Can my sister be the kind of person who has no sense of proportion?" It's not that the girl who is worried about her, her father just thinks about their master-servant affection, so don't worry too much. ”
Shen Xiang was just worried about Shen Jiahe's safety, and when he saw that the two children were speaking for Shen Jiahe, he softened his tone: "Anyway, you can't come back so late when you go out in the future, and you can't go out alone, what if you are a girl in danger?" ”
A little cold sweat appeared on Shen Jiajue's forehead, he glanced at Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiahe only shook his head slightly, and then obediently agreed: "Father, don't worry, I will let my eldest brother or second brother accompany me when I go out in the future, and I will never come back so late." ”
Shen Xiang smiled and nodded with satisfaction, the family was happy to eat, Bai Ying waited on the side, and when she saw Shen Jiahe's tired face, she bent over and asked her in a low voice: "Is Miss uncomfortable?" The slave doesn't look at you very well. ”
Shen Jiahe smiled at her and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well in bed last night." ”
