Chapter 40: A Beautiful Appointment
"I heard it by chance during the small talk, and I know that I was wrong, and I will never mention it again in the future!" Xu You naturally won't mention that person's name, and maybe from now on, he won't mention this person again.
Yuan Jie didn't continue to ask, his eyes turned to the door again, and he barely squeezed out a smile, and said: "But the misfortune and fortune are relied on, Your Highness is here, just in time for the Winter Moon Elegant Collection of the Xihai Pavilion, he often prides himself on being a literati, likes to appreciate people, and his eyesight is indeed a little, and he will definitely praise Qilang's calligraphy......"
The implication is that as an imperial family member of An Xiuyuan, and the saint is in Zhenglong, every move will receive great attention, and once he praises two sentences, it will have a great effect on Yuan Jie's entire plan.
Xu You lowered his head and said in his heart: Yuan Jie, this person is really not to be underestimated, An Xiuyuan openly visited this time, and it is very likely that he will propose to the Yuan family again, and he can find a way to maximize his interests in such a stabbing situation, which can be described as a good calculation!
As for An Xiuyuan, of course he didn't know that Xu You's marriage contract with Yuan Qingqi had been dissolved, but the Xu family was declining like this, for him, the threat of the once powerful Jiangdong wealthy clan no longer existed, even if the Yuan family abided by the previous covenant and disregarded the face of the Shi clan, he had to marry his daughter to a concubine, and he also had a way to snatch love.
Therefore, there is a ninety percent chance that his visit this time is for Yuan Qingqi!
But what else can Xu You say, his identity and position are quite embarrassing, no matter what he says, it is not appropriate. Moreover, behind Yuan Jie stood the entire Yuan family, if he really didn't agree to marry a daughter, it would not even be good for the emperor to go out in person. The current problem is nothing more than how to let An Xiuyuan die without tearing his face, and if he thinks that the city government of Yuan Rank will definitely have a proper countermeasure!
"Gong Yuan doesn't have to worry too much, when I see His Highness, probe his tone, and then improvise!" Xu You shook it to the ground and said: "It's already three o'clock in the morning, Steward Feng has arranged the boat, I'm afraid I don't want to wait for a long time, if Yuan Gong has no other instructions, I will leave!" ”
Yuan Jie stepped forward to help him up, there seemed to be reluctance in his eyes, and said: "Go, there is a big storm on the river, be careful all the way!" ”
Xu You said goodbye to the door, secretly exclaiming, with his two lives of human nature, he was also moved by the friendship in Yuan Jie's eyes at that moment just now, not to mention this public farewell, this skill of buying people's hearts alone is really worth learning.
The autumn equinox was waiting at the door, and when he saw Xu You hurriedly greeted him, he said, "Feng Guan went to the dock in advance, saying that he wanted to take care of the boxes and transport them to the ship." He arranged for an ox cart to be waiting for us outside! ”
Xu You hummed and said that he knew, walked out of the mansion gate, and looked back again, the stone pillars of the valve and reading stood on both sides, showing the luxury and majesty of the high gate, just like when he first came.
Thousands of years of wind and rain, how many emperors have turned the phase into a handful of yellow sand, only these gate valves, who have endured wind and rain for a long time, will always stand at the top of the world, controlling power, wealth and the red line between life and death!
"Gone!"
Xu You and the autumn equinox rode an ox cart through the streets and alleys out of the east gate to the public dock outside the city. A large ship with two sails was loading goods at a private dock dozens of meters away from them, Feng Tong stood aside, staring at the subordinates of the Yuan Mansion with eagle-like eyes to carry the money box upward, although it was no longer the money of the Yuan Mansion, but after all, it was from the Yuan Mansion's treasury, and if it was really stolen, it would also make him feel pain!
It's not that there are no people who are loyal to the Yuan family, but if they are loyal to this point, they can't accept it!
Xu You smiled slightly and did not greet Feng Tong. This was discussed in advance, trying to avoid suspicion, even the owner of the big ship only knew that when he arrived at Qiantang and waited for three days, someone would take the agreed plate to withdraw the money, and nothing else was known.
"Where's the left army?" The autumn equinox knelt on the futon, stretched his neck and looked around, and said, "I don't know if you have found a good boat......
Xu You and they want to take another boat, and they are separated from the big one and rush to Qiantang, last night they have already explained that Zuo Yan went to find a suitable boat, he has been in Jinling for many years, and he has done something like this, but it is a gesture.
said that Cao Cao Cao was here, and before the words fell, Zuo Yan greeted him from the crowd, and the only thing he had with him was a small package, containing a change of clothes, and the long sword in his hand!
"Lang Jun!"
Xu You jumped out of the ox cart, took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and said with a smile: "When did you come?" ”
"I came here at the end of the day, and according to Lang Jun's instructions, I found an ordinary light boat, the boat family is a father and daughter, who have been boating on this waterway for many years, and they are all innocent old boat owners."
"I don't have to worry about you, it's up to them, remember to pay more for the fare...... By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you last night......" Xu You asked Zuo Yan to bow his head and whispered a few words. Zuo Yan was surprised, but he quickly returned to normal, I don't know when, Xu You has established invincible confidence in his mind, so let alone acting, even if he really comes back from the dead, it is estimated that it is not impossible!
As he was talking, a woman in Tsing Yi Ayaluo suddenly came from behind, dressed like the maid who designed to frame Xu You that night, with picturesque eyebrows and a thin waist, but she looked a little less clever and cunning, but three more points more graceful and generous, with a smile on her face, she gave Xu You a respectful salute and said: "Xu Langjun, my girl invites you to Fengxu Pavilion to talk!" ”
Wind Pavilion?
Xu You looked at Zuo Yan, and Zuo Yan hurriedly said: "The pavilion is not far from the wharf, on the embankment that passes along the river, because both sides are planted with weeping willows, and when the wind rises, it flies everywhere, so it is up to Lang to ...... Well, it was named Fengxu Pavilion by Yuan Gong himself. ”
He was used to calling Lord Lang, and when he regained his free body at first, he still couldn't change it. However, when the word "Yuan Gong" was really said at this moment, I only felt relieved, as if I had let go of Wanjun Mountain, from the inside out, I was indescribably free!
"Zuo Langjun is so knowledgeable!" The woman's beautiful eyes are like water, clear and bright, and the soft voice makes people feel good when they hear it, and said: "This pavilion is high because of the high terrain, you can overlook the river, so when the people of Jinling bid farewell to relatives and friends, most of them will go to the Fengxu Pavilion to stop and look at it from afar, in order to comfort the pain of separation!" ”
It's a farewell again, and it's a bitterness, could it be that Langjun only lived in Jinling for two days, and whose girl moved her heart to spring? Zuo Yan smiled and said: "Xiao Niang is a good learner, but you know me, but I don't recognize you, dare to ask how to call it, who is from the mansion?" ”
"The maid's name is Shui Xi, and she is the maid of the Yuan Mansion who serves Sanniang!" The woman answers questions immediately, not impatient, and her beautiful face always has a shallow smile, not to mention the appearance, this temperament alone is not raised by ordinary people!
Zuo Yan was taken aback and subconsciously went to see Xu You. Although he is a member of the Yuan family, his status is low, and he can't see the face of the girls in the house when he is idle, so naturally he can't recognize the maids around them, so how can he not be shocked when he hears that she is actually a person sent by Yuan Qingqi?
Although the state of Chu is not the Ming and Qing dynasties where science flourished, and there are not many restrictions on men and women, the relationship between Yuan Qingqi and Xu You is complicated after all, and the marriage contract has been dissolved, so it is really unexpected to act so boldly!
Xu You looked as usual, and said: "I'm really sorry, we have made an appointment with the boatman, and we are about to board the ship, I guess I don't have time to go to the Fengxu Pavilion, please apologize to your girl on my behalf." ”
I just went through the assassination yesterday, how dare I trust people easily, although this woman is likely to be Yuan Qingqi's person, but what if it is not? Thinking about the unpredictable assassination methods of the ghosts, it is not impossible to really pretend to be Yuan Qingqi's servant. If he was deceived into Fengxu Pavilion and found that it was not a beautiful woman waiting for him, but a trap that wanted his life, then he would really regret his intestines as black sausages!
Shui Xi pursed her lips and smiled, not feeling any dissatisfaction because of Xu You's refusal, and said softly: "When I came, the girl explained to her maid, if Lang Jun refused, she asked me to tell Lang Jun a word." ”
"Please!"
"Lang Jun has to wait for someone before he can leave the Jin Tomb safely, if he doesn't go to the Fengxu Pavilion, that person will probably not appear!"
Xu You's eyes froze, and he was finally sure that Shui Xi was really true! Because only Yuan Jie and Deng Tao knew about this matter, even Zuo Yan had just told him. No matter how powerful the dark Yao is, it is impossible to inquire about this matter, but then again, if he really hits the trick like this, he will admit it to his grandmother!
However, Yuan Jie really loved her daughter, and even told her such a secret thing that she knew that if she really used any means to stop Deng Tao from coming, she would really lose her efforts.
Thinking about the experience of being framed that night, Xu You had every reason to believe that what Yuan Qingqi said was not empty words. This is actually already a threat, but Shui Xi, a lobbyist who does not move the eight winds, said it with a smile, and people can't start it if they want to get angry. He is not willing to suffer, and suddenly smiled: "Do you still have a sister with big eyes, always thinking about ghost ideas, what is her name?" ”
"What Lang Jun said must be Shuiyi!" Shui Xi was not as helpless as Xu You imagined, she was still the one who was not in a hurry, and said apologetically: "She is impatient, but she is very bold, if there is a place to offend Lang Jun, I hope that Lord Lang Jun Haihan, don't worry about her!" ”
Xu You laughed and said, "Don't look at your girl's face, but also look at your face, what do I care about her." Let's go, lead the way! ”
Shui Xi finally blushed, stopped speaking, and turned around and walked towards the Fengxu Pavilion.
If you want to talk about literary talent and martial arts, Xu You estimates that he will be counted behind, but if you want to talk about hooliganism, in this era, there is really no one to compete with him!
