Chapter 111: The Former Childhood Plum
Originally, after Hua Qian revealed the fact that Shen Ye was her senior brother, Xue Jinian's hostility towards Shen Ye seemed to have decreased a lot, but this time, when he returned to the palace, judging from the fact that the guards of Feique Palace had increased unabated, Xue Jinian did not relax his vigilance towards Shen Ye.
And it seems that the hostility has deepened, and I don't know if it's her delusion.
Choosing in Feiyun Palace is always safer than Feique Palace.
"Naturally, it's because the subordinates of Feiyun Palace are quick to move, and the venue is wide enough, so the guests can't enjoy the guests, you say yes."
Princess Changle thought about it and felt that it made sense: "That's right, then what reason do I use?" ”
"Let's just say that Commander Shen has found out the real culprit who killed the four emperor brothers, and his hard work is high, and our sisters are grateful, so I want to thank him well."
Princess Changle touched her chin and thought about it, thinking that this idea was not bad.
However, she rolled her eyes, glanced at Hua Qian obliquely at the tail of her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sister Huang, you specially called Commander Shen to come, not only to be grateful, right?" You haven't even met the Four Emperor Brothers a few times, you have fart gratitude. ”
Hanasa: "......"
I have to say that Changle is not as big as she usually looks.
How do you introduce Shen Ye? Hua Qian was a little distressed, she didn't know how to explain to Changle, but seeing that Changle looked like she was vowing to gossip to the end, she didn't admit it.
Just when Hua Qian was thinking about a showdown with Princess Changle, saying that Shen Ye was her senior brother, whether there would be any sequelae of the matter, Princess Changle suddenly smiled ambiguously, climbed from the side of the Luohan couch to Hua Qian's side, squeezed Hua Qian hard to the backrest, and came to Hua Qian's side and bumped her shoulder, looking like I had found you to admit it, and said: "Imperial sister, you just confess honestly, do you like Commander Shen?" ”
Hanasa: "......"
Dancing a grass, where did you draw your conclusions?
What is this?
"Don't talk nonsense, no."
"Oh, Sister Huang, don't be embarrassed, I understand."
Hua glanced at her lightly, you know a fart, you don't understand your own affairs, what is Xue Qi in your heart, do you have points now?
But Hua Qian thought about it, misunderstanding also has the benefit of misunderstanding, at least she doesn't have to rack her brains to think about how to make up lies to deceive Changle. This is her own conclusion, and if she finds out that she is wrong later, she can't blame her.
So he didn't refute it, but smiled shyly, which caused Princess Changle to be more firm in her guess, and the imperial sister really had a situation.
For the sake of the royal sister's happiness, it seems that she has to investigate Shen Ye carefully!
@@@
Just after the hour, a low-key carriage kicked out of Dongzhimen, and the heavy snow fell for a day, and it never stopped, and thick snowdrifts gathered on both sides of the palace road.
Before the curfew, Chang'an Avenue was deserted.
Xue Jinian sat in the chariot with his eyes closed, his body swaying slightly with the vibration of the carriage, in fact, it was so late, he didn't have to leave the palace.
The inner court had a place for him to rest, but he insisted on returning to the factory governor's mansion.
As long as he thought that she was also in the palace, and that she was not far from him, he had to spend 120,000 points of perseverance to restrain himself from looking for her.
It's too hard, and it's too tiring.
Xue Jinian tiredly propped his forehead and pinched his slightly swollen temples.
The carriage suddenly paused, and Xue Qi's voice was remembered in front of the carriage: "Overseer, Miss Meng Si is here." ”
Xue Jinian's hand holding his forehead paused: "Hmm." ”
Xue Qi was quiet, didn't hear other instructions, then took two steps back, and gestured around, not only the accompanying fans and attendants quickly retreated, but even the surrounding dark sentinels also retreated, only to see a few points in the dark alley on the eaves roof, as if a bird flashed, and the surroundings were suddenly quiet.
Soon, a large area was vacated around the carriage.
Xue Qi stood alone beside the carriage, looking at Meng Yun, the daughter of Meng Conghai, the head of the household who was supported by the maid in the corner not far away.
The girl's delicate and small face is not powdered, but her reddish little face seems to be dyed with a faint rouge, as bright as a peach and plum. The goose-yellow Luo robe was embroidered with pale pink plum blossoms, a light-colored belt tied around a gripable willow waist, and a small light purple cloak with a white fox edge. The white fluffy white fox fur is clustered around the neck, which makes the girl's petite face delicate and pretty, making people unable to take their eyes off.
At this moment, her bright eyes were staring at them with a hint of unease.
Xue Qi was quiet next to the car again before walking towards Meng Yun.
Seeing Xue Qi walking towards her, Meng Yun's eyes lit up, and her originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
"Lord Xue."
Xue Qi glanced at Meng Yun expressionlessly: "The overseer is invited, let's go." ”
Then take a step out of the way and see if the stance is to let her go by herself.
Meng Yun was overjoyed when she saw Xue Qi's actions, she didn't care about Xue Qi's unreasonableness, Xue Jinian's willingness to see her was already the biggest good thing.
She had been standing in the snow for a long time, and even her embroidered shoes were already wet.
But she was still happy, she had been waiting for him for days, but she had never seen him. 12345
She was almost desperate.
The maid with her stretched out her hand to help her, Meng Yun shook her head: "No, you wait for me here, I'll go by myself,"
The girl wanted to say something, but she silently stayed in place in Meng Yun's comforting eyes.
Meng Yun looked at the carriage standing alone in the middle of the road, a wave of joy surged in her heart, the corners of her lips lifted the corners of her skirt slightly, and she ran towards Xue Jinian quickly.
However, in just a few steps, Meng Yun ran panting, she couldn't tell whether she was excited or excited, her heart beat like a drum.
The carriage was hung with wind lamps, and the warm yellow light enveloped a small piece of the world around the wheel, and in this snowy night, it seemed that even the snow on the ground was dyed with a trace of warmth.
Meng Yun stood next to the car, almost wanting to cry, how many years had she not seen Xue Jinian?
Three years? Or five years?
The curtain of the car moved slightly, and a slender and white hand slightly picked up a corner, but in Meng Yun's excited gaze, he did not reveal his full appearance, only heard a cool voice coming from the car: "I heard that Miss Meng Si wants to see me?" ”
Hearing his voice again, Meng Yun almost choked up: "Ji Nian......"
"Miss Meng Si still calls the Governor Lord Admiral, so as not to affect Miss Meng Si's reputation."
Meng Yun couldn't hold back her crying anymore, the ten-bone oil-paper umbrella had been thrown on the ground on the way she ran a few steps, and at this time, the wind and snow fell on her shoulders without shelter, adding a bit of desolation.
She sobbed and took a few steps closer to the carriage: "Ji Nian...... Do we have to be so rusty? I ......"
"Miss Meng Si is serious, Miss's status is noble and unattainable, and the governor has nothing to do with Miss, so how can I be close and unfamiliar."
"Ji Nian, I knew that I was wrong back then, but I was forced."
There was no movement in the carriage.
Meng Yun pressed the wall of the car and continued to tell sadly: "My father forced me, and my mother also forced me to die, I really have no choice...... I ......"
Xue Jinian interrupted her impatiently: "The old story ends here, Miss Meng Si is looking for the governor today, if she just says these meaningless words, the governor has no intention of accompanying her." Xue Qi ......"
As soon as she heard that Xue Jinian was leaving, Meng Yun was suddenly anxious: "Ji Nian! ”
She screamed helplessly, first glanced at Xue Qi who was walking this way in horror, and then patted the wall of the carriage anxiously: "Ji Nian, Ji Nian, I know, it's all my father's fault, but please look at our past relationship, spare my father once, okay?" ”
Meng Conghai, the head of the household department, has been very unlucky recently, and the triennial audit of the household department has been advanced this year, and then the 500,000 silver on the account is missing.
The buttons and sews are not clear about the ins and outs, Dali Temple took over, the case is still under trial, and Meng Conghai is suspended for investigation.
Although there is no evidence of Meng Conghai's embezzlement of official silver for the time being, Jinyiwei is now making every effort to investigate. People are in officialdom, and few people can really do it with two sleeves, as long as the above is not checked, everyone is happy and peaceful.
But once someone targets them, they will all be too big to lose, and they will be as terrifying as they are, even if the 500,000 silver in the end really has nothing to do with Meng Shangshu, they will definitely pull out other shady things.
Meng Yun was anxious, she had no choice, she asked many people and visited many people, but no one dared to take over her father's affairs. In the past, those officials who were good friends with their fathers were now like plague gods in their Shangshu Mansion, and they didn't even dare to see each other.
Although Meng Shangshu has not been officially imprisoned, the former prosperous Shangshu Mansion is already full of doors, and it is very cold.
Human affection is warm and cold, nothing more than that.
"Rao? Miss Meng Si's words were wrong, and the governor was very frightened. The voice in the carriage was as calm as a house: "Lord Shangshu's greed for ink was revealed by his subordinates, His Majesty personally ordered a thorough investigation, Jinyi Wei supervised the matter, and Dali Temple personally took over." This before and after, can have nothing to do with our East Factory. ”
Meng Yun hurriedly replied: "I'...... That was not what I meant. However, my father had no disagreement with the squire in the past, so how could he suddenly ......?"
"This is not an answer to this matter, but it has been exposed, presumably because it has made Zun Su Ri unpopular, or it is blocking the way of some people."
Meng Yun shuddered, she is not a girl who doesn't understand anything, and the interests of the court are pouring out of the party dispute, which is the most bloody.
"I don't know what my father did, but...... But, I can't watch him go to prison, Ji Nian, please, can you help me? ”
"Help? Miss Meng Si wants the governor to help? If it is not a relative, why should the Governor help? ”
"As long as ...... As long as...... As long as you can save my father, I will promise you whatever you ask me to do. I...... I do...... Committed to the factory governor's mansion and serving you...... Serve you for the rest of your life. Meng Yun gritted her teeth and said intermittently with a red face.
It was very difficult to say it, but she was relieved when she finished speaking, she clutched her chest, and found with some joy that it was such a pleasant thing to say what she really thought in her heart.
Enter the factory governor's mansion and serve him for a lifetime! She really thinks so.
There was silence in the car for a long time, and a sneer broke through the curtain: "Snort...... Miss Meng Si is afraid that she still thinks that she is twenty-eight years old, so she is in demand, right? ”
Meng Yun's face turned pale, and her heart suddenly became cold.
She is two years younger than Xue Jinian, and now she is twenty-four years old. Other girls, whether they are from wealthy families or ordinary families, are already the mothers of children at this age. And she has not yet married.
This twist and turn, it will be endless for a while, and she has already prepared for the green lantern ancient Buddha in this life, but she has a lifelong plan, but she didn't expect it, but there was an accident in her family, and she had to find Xue Jinian.
Xue Jinian's words pierced her heart like a sharp blade, Meng Yun was suddenly embarrassed, trembling her lips and keeping shedding tears, but she had nothing to say.
Once, his marriage proposal was regarded as a shame by her father, but now, she took the initiative to save his father, but people no longer looked down on him.
The girl's crying was transmitted into the carriage in wisps, the world was silent, and the fine velvet snow was flying, which had fallen a thin layer of frost on Meng Yun's black hair.
