Chapter 131: Pulling the Strings

Pei Yuan had to get up early the next morning to go to court, because of last night's incident, Shen Jiahe didn't sleep well, as soon as he left, Shen Jiahe opened his eyes: "Don't be greedy, remember to wear that thicker coat." ”

Pei Yuan turned around and stuffed her outstretched hand back into the quilt: "Save me, you can sleep for a while." ”

Shen Jiahe listened attentively to the movement outside, until he vaguely heard the voice of Liuyu greeting him, and then fell asleep again, but he didn't sleep peacefully at all, and the dream was always the sentence that Pei Yuan asked him last night.

When I woke up for the second time, it was already dawn, Bai Ying heard the movement and brought the little maid in to help Shen Jiahe dress and wash, during which the little maid went out to change the water, Shen Jiahe instructed: "Wait for you to find Zhou Gan, if Gonggong Fu asks, he will say that he sent silver to the palace." ”

When Zhou Qian came over, Shen Jiahe had just finished breakfast, and after chatting casually about business matters, he motioned to Bai Ying to bring all his subordinates down, and then asked about the matter: "I went to Hengjiling yesterday and met Runzhi Zhenren." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Qian immediately stood up: "My master? He's not in that place, how did you get there? ”

He walked a few steps on the spot, then suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Jiahe and asked, "My master once said that he was there to wait for someone, could it be that you are waiting for you?" ”

Shen Jiahe shook his head and explained: "Your master is waiting for Pei Yuan, and Pei Yuan's mother left something for your master to hand over." ”

Zhou Qian was shocked alone for a while, thinking that the master had been in and out of the palace, and it was common for him to know one or two concubines, so he put down this surprise and only asked, "How is his old man now?" Are you okay? ”

"Everything is fine with Runzhi Zhenren, and I look at that place, it's like a paradise." Shen Jiahe thought about the night sky and Xinghe moved the corners of his mouth slightly, and after a while, he changed the topic, "But I have something else to ask you today." ”

Zhou Qian knew that something was going on before he came, and Shen Jiahe was not the kind of person who would worry about dividing the money: "Say it." ”

"You once asked me who the person I want to assist, I can tell you now, it is Pei Yuan, if I assist Pei Yuan, how sure do you think it will be possible?" Na Runzhi's words were vague, she was a little unstable in her heart, it was okay to help Pei Yuan seize the throne, but if she let it lose her life for this, Shen Jiahe would never be willing.

Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and understood it, they are now husband and wife, Pei Yuan's reputation in the court is excellent, and it is normal for Shen Jiahe to have this idea, but it is just ...... Zhou Qian hesitated: "If you assist Pei Yuan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, and the price you need to pay is very great, you have to think clearly." ”

Shen Jiahe frowned and looked at Zhou Gan, Zhou Qian rubbed his hands, and said cautiously: "If you are willing to assist the prince, it will be the easiest thing to do." ”

This time, Shen Jiahe stood up, pointed at Zhou Gan and asked, "You didn't say that before, I remember you said that Pei Shu didn't have an emperor statue." ”

Shen Jiahe was in a circle, and then pointed at Zhou Qian and scolded: "I think you are really a liar, no wonder you will be driven down the mountain by your master." ”

"Why did my master even tell you this!" Zhou Qian's face was bitter, and he explained to Shen Jiahe in a mournful voice, "I know that you are not happy with Pei Shu, but his current astrological signs do show signs of being king, not to mention that I saw him from a distance on the street not long ago, and found that the dragon qi could be faintly seen on his body." ”

Shen Jiahe sat down irritably, and snorted coldly: "It's so far away, are you sure you can see it clearly?" ”

"Oh, my ancestor, I also told you about this thing, the number of human lives is not constant, and it may affect the ending of many people because of a small thing that happens. At least what I've seen for now is that the crown prince is more likely to stay in the palace than King Xian, so weigh it yourself. Zhou Qian was also quite helpless, thought about it and persuaded, "That position is not necessarily how good, do you have to fight?" ”

Zhou Qian's words made Shen Jiahe's heart sink and sink, she crossed over and changed Shen Jiahe's fate, which is equivalent to changing Pei Shu's fate, if he didn't come, would he still be able to sit on the throne of the prince after killing the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

And what will happen to Pei Yuan at that time? His childhood sweetheart died at his hands, would Pei Yuan have the intention of seizing the throne at that time instead of waiting until now?

Zhou Qian saw that Shen Jiahe's whole person seemed to be settled, and his heart was really empty, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand and waved in front of her: "Princess Xian, are you okay?" ”

Shen Jiahe raised his head and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'll think about this matter carefully, don't worry, I will never mess around." ”

After sending Zhou Qian away, Shen Jiahe wanted to go to rest for a while and digest Zhou Gan's words, but Gonggong Fu walked in and said, "Miss Biao brought the girl from the Lu family over and said that she wanted to talk to the princess. ”

Knowing that Shi Xiangyuan was coming, Shen Jiahe hurriedly ordered, "Invite them in." ”

The girl of the Lu family brought by Shi Xiangyuan is Lu Jiuzhi, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, who is one of the few handkerchiefs she has in the capital, with a gentle and demure personality, which is very liked by the Shi family and his wife.

"I came here without handing over the post, don't you mind!" As soon as Shi Xiangyuan entered the door, he smiled at Shen Jiahe and said, "I brought my good friend to meet you today, don't bother me." ”

According to the etiquette, Xiang Yuan should call Shen Jiahe a cousin-in-law, but she and Shen Jiajue's family affairs are inseparable, and she will be Shen Jiahe's sister-in-law in the future, so she simply doesn't shout anything.

Shen Jiahe beckoned the two to sit down, and then instructed Bai Ying to make tea, and then replied with a smile: "How can you, I wish you came over, your cousin went to the court, and I happened to be fine." ”

After the two of them sat down, Shen Jiahe raised his eyes to look at the girl of the Lu family, wearing a pink dress like a freshly opened moon in the yard, sitting there with a smile and a gentle smile, and after coming in, he only respectfully saluted Shen Jiahe, so he didn't talk much.

"The girl of the Lu family is quiet and graceful, but she is a left-handed character with Xiang Yuan, and it is difficult for you to stand her like this." Shen Jiahe smiled at Lu Jiuzhi.

Lu Jiuzhi got up and blessed her body before replying: "Xiang Yuan has a straightforward personality, my mother always says that my temperament is too weak, and I can learn a thing or two with Xiang Yuan." ”

"You have lifted me up, and my mother can talk to me for three days as long as she sees you once, saying that if I can learn from you, it will be enough." Shi Xiangyuan said angrily to the two.

Shen Jiahe sneered, she could imagine the appearance of Shi's mother's words, and after laughing, Shen Jiahe looked at Lu Jiuzhi and said, "You don't have to be so restrained, just be like Xiang Yuan." ”

Lu Jiuzhi stretched out his hand and secretly touched Shi Xiangyuan, Shi Xiangyuan smiled, and then coughed lightly: "I have something to tell you, you let these people not have to come close to serve." ”

When Bai Ying heard this, she beckoned the people in the house to retreat without waiting for Shen Jiahe's instructions, and Shen Jiahe was also a little curious when she saw her mysterious look: "What big deal is this going to tell me?" ”

Lu Jiuzhi's face was slightly red and slowly turned his face sideways, while Shi Xiangyuan coughed lightly again before asking, "That...... Does your second brother Shen Jiachen have a marriage match now? ”

Shen Jiahe couldn't help but be surprised, this Shi Xiangyuan has a temperament, she always thinks she is a child, and she grew up in the barracks, and she doesn't love the rules, which can be understood, but if her feelings for men are also such a very casual nature, it will not be good.

is also empathetic and falls in love with the second brother, so how can the eldest brother deal with himself?

Shen Jiahe instantly straightened his face, and said with a slightly unhappy tone: "Xiang Yuan, my second brother is not something you can think of, even if you don't like my eldest brother anymore, it is impossible for you and my second brother to be together, let alone ......"

"Where did you think of it?" Shi Xiangyuan stood up and looked at Shen Jiahe in surprise, "How can I be interesting to your second brother, I am in addition to your eldest brother...... I can't look down on anyone else's anymore. When he said the last few words, Shi Xiangyuan's voice had already decreased.

The room was very quiet, and the three of them were close, Shen Jiahe naturally heard it clearly, and she was even more surprised: "Then what are you doing to inquire about my second brother?" ”

"That's not," Shi Xiangyuan glanced at Lu Jiuzhi, her head lowered even more, and even the tips of her ears turned red, "Forget it, I just said it, it was Jiuzhi who fell in love with your second brother, so she asked me to come over and ask." ”

On the day of Shen Jiahe's wedding, Lu Jiuzhi followed her mother to Shen's house early in the morning to add boxes for her, at that time, the Shen family was very busy from top to bottom, and there were no rules in the past, Shen Jiachen wanted to confirm the details of the dowry with Shen's mother, but went to the living room full of female dependents at that time, which made Lu Jiuzhi fall in love with it at a glance.

Later, she followed a group of girls to block the door at the gate of Shen Jiahe's courtyard, she was quiet, and she was not suitable for such a lively environment, so she kept hiding quietly at the back of a group of female dependents.

And Shen Jiachen was the only man present except for the little guy, and he couldn't follow a group of female dependents to coax, and he was a little farther away from the crowd, but the two got closer, and Lu Jiuzhi had a chance to take a good look at him.

Lu Shangshu praised Shen Jiachen a lot when he was at home, saying that he was steady and introverted, and he would definitely be able to go further in the court in the future.

Shen Jiachen has a deep temperament, although he is one year younger than Shen Jiajue, but when the two are together, Shen Jiachen is more like his brother, Shen Jiahe knows that what he has always liked is the kind of quiet and introverted temperament, similar to himself, and it seems that this Lu Jiuzhi is very much in line with his appetite.

But just getting along for a while, Shen Jiahe couldn't be sure if there was an element of Lu Jiuzhi acting in it, so he had to say vaguely: "As far as I know, the second brother has no kiss now, but he has an introverted personality, I don't know his preferences, if Miss Lu wants to know, I'm afraid I have to find an opportunity to find out one or two." ”

Lu Jiuzhi was shy, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, princess, my daughter's family originally said that this fact was not in accordance with the rules, but I am afraid that if your second brother has a family affair, I rashly asked my mother to inquire, but it is ...... That's when I wanted to ask Xiang Yuan a little bit, who knew that she brought me directly to you. ”

This is what Shi Xiangyuan can do, Shen Jiahe smiled: "She is also doing good deeds, don't you mind it, but I didn't prepare in advance when you came over today, I heard that Miss Lu plays the guzheng very well, I am good at the pipa, and the guqin is much worse." Someone gave King Xian a zither before the wedding, is Miss Lu interested in trying her hand? ”

Shi Xiangyuan was lying on the table to watch Lu Jiuzhi play the piano, and occasionally tilted his head to bite Shen Jiahe's ear: "It's really not me praising her, she is proficient in piano, chess, poetry and painting, and the difference between people is right!" ”

The style of music is tactful, the technique is skillful, he concentrates when playing the piano, and the whole person is immersed in it, he is really a person who loves the piano, not for the sake of face can learn it, it seems that Shi Xiangyuan did not say big things for his good friends, Shen Jiahe nodded with satisfaction: "You can do martial arts, you can shoot arrows, you are very compatible with my eldest brother, you don't have to envy others." ”

Shi Xiangyuan laughed when he said this: "I think so, if you really let me talk to your eldest brother at home, I'm afraid it will make him think that he has seen a ghost." ”

The two were talking, Lu Jiuzhi finished the song, she withdrew her hand and smiled at Shen Jiahe: "This guzheng is really excellent, and it is ugly today." ”

Shi Xiangyuan slapped his face and praised: "If you are ugly, then those pianists in the capital who boast of playing the guzheng well are afraid that they will smash the piano to vent their anger, you must not be humble." ”

"She really admires you, but Miss Lu's piano skills are indeed excellent." Shen Jiahe also praised with a smile, and then turned to Shi Xiangyuan and suggested, "Didn't you just praise Miss Lu for her excellent calligraphy and painting?" Why don't you go back and propose to your aunt and ask her to come forward to hold a poetry meeting, but give my two brothers a post, and my second brother will have a chance to get in touch with Miss Lu. ”
