"Shen Jiahe has been suspended, you are still in the mood to paint here!" As soon as Pei Hao entered the study, he shouted at Pei Yuan.

Pei Hao was sent by the emperor to the north some time ago to investigate the corruption and bribery of officials and was not in the capital, and this matter was also learned from the Jiuluan Palace when he came back to the palace this morning to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

The Queen Mother was angry with Pei Shu, but in the end it was her own grandson, and she didn't want to say a word to him in front of outsiders, he only vaguely listened to it, and after she reluctantly said goodbye, she found a few eunuchs and palace maids who knew each other to find out the whole story.

I heard that the queen asked King Kang to kneel outside the main hall for a long time, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and King Kang later went to the inner hall, but the time of half a pillar of incense came out, although he came out with a gloomy face, in fact, he was just reproached a few words.

"The side concubine of King Kang's Mansion is pregnant, and if she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, the queen can't say anything for the sake of the little emperor and grandson." A palace maid whispered to Pei Shu.

Pei Hao actually didn't want to know how his nephew was, what he wanted to inquire about was actually what Shen Jiahe, who had been taken out of the mansion, was doing now, but the people in the palace didn't know anything about the outside, so he could only hurriedly come out of the palace and go outside to inquire.

The people who are good friends with the Xiangfu don't seem to know about it yet, and the people in the Xiangfu never mention it, so he can't ask Shen Jiahe's two brothers directly: How are your sisters feeling when they are taken home from leave? Do you have any trouble thinking about it?

Pei Hao was worried for a long time, and then he patted his head and remembered that this was what Pei Yuan should do, and what was he worried about here, so he quickly adjusted the horse's head and ran all the way to Xianwang's mansion.

I didn't think that this person who should be in a hurry not only did not rush around, but also painted at the window very leisurely, looking leisurely and comfortable.

"I'm still worried that your sweetheart won't want to commit suicide, and I'm afraid that there will be some bad gossip about her outside, I've been busy working outside for half a day, and I'm working in vain, and you're not in a hurry at all."

Pei Yuan looked at the drawing paper intently, and didn't raise his head: "Then you have been busy for a long time, can you get something?" ”

Pei Hao touched his nose a little sneeringly: "That's not true, but shouldn't you be more worried?" ”

Pei Yuan raised his head to look at him and smiled; "Shen Xiang and his two sons are doing well in their own yamen now, which naturally means that there is nothing to do in the house, and she was taken home from leave, and she was very low-key and didn't even leave the main gate, Pei Shu will not be stupid to publicize this matter, and naturally there will be no gossip outside, not to mention that she is already reasonable about this matter, and she is not afraid of others to say it."

Pei Hao saw that Pei Yuan was sure of what he said, and he saw everything clearly and clearly, and he was also convinced at the moment: "So they are really separated this time?" There is no time off to take a leave of absence. ”

"Naturally, it's true, there is not only Pei Shu's private seal on it, but also the official seal of the government." Pei Yuan paused for a moment before replying.

But Pei Hao felt that this matter would not be as simple as Pei Yuan said: "The last time I was also suspended, but the Queen Mother quickly asked Pei Shu to come to the door to apologize, do you know that this time it will not be the same again." ”

Pei Yuan finally put down the pen: "Qin Xiaoshuang is pregnant, you know." ”

Pei Hao nodded, he had already heard this matter from the little palace maid, but then Pei Yuan's words made his eyes widen.

"But you shouldn't know that the child in her belly can't be saved at all, but she took the opportunity to buy the imperial doctor, and used this as a reason to ask Miss Shen to offer a bowl of her own heart blood as a medicine."

Pei Hao opened his mouth, and asked for a long time: "She gave it so stupidly?" ”

Pei Yuan glanced at him; "What do you say, otherwise, how could Pei Hao agree to write her a letter of resignation and let her leave King Kang's Mansion, the royal family has treated the Prime Minister's Mansion badly because of this matter, as long as Shen Xiang does not stand in line in the court, it will be too late for them to stutter."

Pei Hao secretly smacked his tongue: "This girl is really biao, I am afraid that she is the only one who takes the initiative to ask for a resignation throughout the ages." ”

After speaking, he walked around behind Pei Yuan, turned his head to look at the rice paper under his hand, a small portrait of a figure was almost completed, and it was Shen Jiahe's appearance.

In addition to this pair of his subordinates, Pei Hao found that there were about seven or eight portraits of Shen Jiahe in this study, all of which were exquisitely depicted.

If it weren't for the people engraved in his heart, how could he paint a smile so realistically, as if Shen Jiahe was standing in front of him at this time.

Pei Yuan put the last stroke on his eyes, waited until the ink dried, and then handed the painting to the little maid, instructed him to frame it, and then took Pei Hao to the rear tea room.

The fragrance of tea slowly lingered in the quiet tea room, but Pei Yuan was always absent-minded, after he said that the big red robe was Mengding black tea, Pei Hao couldn't help but say to him: "I see that you don't have the heart to drink tea with me here, are you worried about the girl of the Shen family, then hurry up and find her!" ”

"She's just been taken home now, and it's not appropriate for me to go to see her in the daytime." Pei Yuan put down the cup in his hand, a little disappointed.

Pei Hao winked at Pei Yuan: "Brother Chen, give you a note, you can go to Shen Xiang to talk about business in the name of business!" ”

Pei Yuan didn't know why, Pei Hao had no choice but to continue: "Brother Chen went to the north to investigate the corruption case of officials, the people there were blackmailed by these officials, and their lives were very miserable, and now I have the intention to suggest to the emperor that some northern taxes be reduced or reduced, but there are not many officials who secretly inquire about support, you take this opportunity to help me go to find out Shen Xiang's tone." ”

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking me to do things for you again?" ”

Pei Hao pretended to stand up: "Hey, I'm giving you an idea, don't waste the opportunity, otherwise I'll go to Shen Xiang in person now, anyway, I also think it's very interesting to Shen Jiahe now." ”

"Get out of here!" Pei Yuan's face darkened suddenly, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.

Pei Hao laughed twice, and shouted loudly as he walked: "If there is news, quickly send someone to Ling Wangfu to inform me!" ”

Pei Yuan shook his head and smiled, and after a while, he finally went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and went to the Xiangfu with Liuyu.

Shen Xiang was a little surprised when he learned that Pei Yuan was visiting, since his daughter and Lu, men and women need to be taboo when they get along, so he has never been to the door of the mansion, and he came over today, and he doesn't know what happened.

I wanted my daughter to avoid it, but after looking at the chess game where they had not yet won or lost, I was reluctant to let her go, thinking that they had known each other since childhood, and that they were by their side, so it was not unreasonable, so he ordered the housekeeper to bring people over directly.

Pei Yuan didn't expect to be able to see Shen Jiahe directly, and at this time, seeing that she was holding a sunspot in one hand and staring at the chessboard in her eyes, she didn't even look at herself, so she coughed lightly.

Shen Xiang arched his hand towards Pei Yuan and glanced at Shen Jiahe: "Jiahe, don't hurry up and salute King Xian." ”

Shen Jiahe raised his head and looked at him and smiled, Pei Yuan also knew that she didn't love these, so he waved his hand and said: "It's this king who is abrupt, but I don't know that your father and daughter are playing chess here, I should wait quietly for a while, you are free now, this king is just watching from the side." ”

Shen Xiang was not polite, he sat down immediately, and played back and forth with Shen Jiahe, he asked casually: "Lord Xian has not been at the door of my Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, I don't know why today?" ”

Pei Yuan said with a smile: "This king really has something to discuss with Xiang Ye, some time ago, King Ling ran an imperial mission in the north, and saw that the local people were living a very hard life, and wanted to suggest that the emperor reduce or reduce taxes next year, but I heard that there were not many officials who agreed to this move, and he had no way, so he asked me to ask Xiang Ye for a solution." ”

The prime minister nodded, and was about to put down a white son in his hand, but when he saw that he had already killed no piece of armor left, the daughter on the other side looked at him with a smug face, and asked if he wanted to play another game.

He dropped the white son in his hand and looked at Pei Yuan with a smile: "I don't talk about business at home, since this matter has nothing to do with King Xian, it's better not to interfere, I have already lost two games of the little girl, why don't you try it?" ”

Pei Yuan didn't come to help Pei Hao ask, so he naturally readily agreed, Shen Jiahe silently put away the chess pieces, looked at Pei Yuan and said, "The prince will go first?" ”

Pei Yuan shook his head: "If you win, you won't be able to win, so you should go first." ”

Shen Jiahe was not polite, he picked up a son and fell, and Pei Yuan did not hesitate, followed by a sunspot.

Shen Xiang watched the two go back and forth with relish on the side, secretly shocked that the chess skills of his daughter and King Xian were actually equal, and the time of the two incense sticks still did not distinguish the winner or loser.

Pei Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky, it was inconvenient to continue to stay, so he had to signal Shen Jiahe to stop, and then got up and said: "It's getting late, it's inconvenient for this king to stay for a long time, your daughter's chess skills are superb, and this king is very teachable today." ”

"The prince is modest, but the old man thinks that the little girl's chess skills are more than a little worse than the prince." Shen Xiang sent the guests out with a smile.

After dinner, Bai Wei cleaned up the bed but saw that Shen Jiahe had not changed his bedclothes: "Isn't Miss ready to sleep?" ”

Shen Jiahe waved his hand: "You go to sleep first, I still have a game of chess to play." ”

Bai Wei was curious and no one was playing against her, so she saw Shen Jiahe put on her coat and pushed open the door, and jumped out of the courtyard in a few steps.

After coming back to her senses, Bai Ying smiled and told her about the fact that the prince of Bai Ri Xian came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play against the young lady, and Bai Wei was relieved.

The guards of the Xianwang Mansion were already familiar with Shen Jiahe, and when they saw that she was outside the door, they let her in without saying a word, and Gonggong Fu personally sent Shen Jiahe to Pei Yuan's study with a lantern.

"I'm still worried about whether you've slept and whether you want to divide the game of chess during the day?" Shen Jiahe entered the door and smiled.

Father-in-law Fu brought a pot of tea, unfolded the chessboard and withdrew, and the two put the endgame of the day on the table and began to play against each other again.

Pei Yuan thought of the rabbit in Liuzhen's hand, and asked after dropping one, "The rabbit you entrusted me to take care of was placed in Liuzhen, do you want to bring it back tonight?" ”

Shen Jiahe thought for a while and shook his head: "No need, let's continue to raise it in your Xianwang Mansion." ”

followed Pei Yuan all the way to send Shen Jiahe out, and found that the prince was in a particularly happy mood tonight, this person was gone, and the corners of his mouth were not returned.

And after Shen Jiahe went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Ying and Bai Wei hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when she was waiting for Shen Jiahe to change her bedclothes, she wondered why Miss was still so late with bright eyes and a smile on her face, and she didn't look sleepy at all.
