Chapter 7 (25) First Sight of Nanyang (Middle)
Nanyang just entered the door, and was immediately frightened by Shang Cheng's terrible dark face, his face was as white as snow, and he took two or three steps back sharply under his feet, if it wasn't for the monk next to him and Jiao'er behind him reaching out in time to pull her, she would probably fall on the spot. Even so, she still leaned back, in a panic, she couldn't remember the dignity of the heavenly family and couldn't take care of the monk's calm demeanor, lost the dust, grabbed the planer with her hands, crackled a few times, and the half of the door curtain that was pulled off the tie was placed on her head, the innocent crown on her head immediately fell, the jade hairpin that fixed the bun was also broken, the triple glazed Yingluo hanging in front of the forehead was also oblique, and a few locks of green silk were swaying and hanging on the sideburns of the forehead, looking more embarrassed and embarrassed.
Shang Cheng was also embarrassed. He didn't expect that his "respect" would scare Chen Pu's sister like this. He stepped forward and wanted to apologize. But who knew that before he opened his mouth, Nanyang climbed Jiao'er and desperately retreated backwards, shouting in his mouth: "Quick!" Come on! Get this awesome guy out of here! ”
He had to stop in great embarrassment.
Jiao'er whispered to Nanyang: "Daoist Qingluan, this is a businessman...... Shang, this ......" She originally wanted to tell Nanyang bluntly that this was the fake admiral of Yanshan who had saved the life of the princess of Changsha five times, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly remembered that Shang Cheng did not enter Beijing in public but was ordered by the Ministry of War, and this matter was related to military secrets, she didn't dare to spread it casually, so she could only say vaguely, "This Shang Duke and our general are old friends, and it is rare to enter Beijing once." Shang Gong," she said deliberately to Shang Cheng's surname. "I'm here to meet the general today."
Although Nanyang was still a little panicked, she was a member of the clan after all, and she was naturally sensitive to many obscure things that could only be understood and not expressed, and Jiao'er's timbre and tone were only slightly different, she immediately noticed it, stared at Shang Cheng up and down, and immediately thought of other places. Rouge slave is a widowed princess like her, and her behavior is insignificant, but Rouge slave is strict and self-disciplined and never presumptuous, out of Beijing in the Gyeonggi camp, in Beijing in the princess's mansion, except for brothers and sisters and close branch clans, other outsiders are rare to see, how can it be possible to let a man into the study without saying a word? And this person is also surnamed Shang, and I remember that when Rouge Nu was in Yanshan, he worked with a guard general surnamed Shang, and that person is still working as a commander in Yanshan, does the person in front of him have anything to do with the Shang commander of Yanshan?
She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "From Yanshan?" ”
Jiao'er glanced quickly at the monk next to her, and nodded lightly imperceptibly. She wasn't guarding against this monk. Whether this monk is there or not, she can't say anything more. There are rules in the army, and if she has a military position, she has to abide by the prohibitions in the army. And this is not only the Changsha Princess's Mansion, but also the Zhuguo General's Mansion of Da Zhao.
Nanyang understood, the person in front of him was Admiral Yanshan. Although she was still afraid of the face that was ruined by the knife wound, she still couldn't help but look at Shang Cheng twice. The apologetic smile on Shang Cheng's face immediately made her look away. This face is really ...... She really didn't know how to describe it! Could it be that the youngest Admiral of Weizhen in the 120 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China is this look?
After a period of confusion, all three guests sat down in the study.
Now they know each other pretty much well. Shang Cheng knew that Nanyang was Chen Pu's sister, and he also knew that she was a monk and a cultivator, and her Taoist name was Qingluan; The young monk who came with her was the monk He Tu that even Yan Shanwei talked about. Nanyang not only knew Shang Cheng's true identity, but also guessed that Shang Cheng must have some confidential matter when he entered Beijing, maybe he came to Chen Pu's general's mansion today to discuss official business. She wondered what kind of secret it was. The reason why she thinks this way is not because she cares about the government. No, this woman from royal origin is completely unconcerned with politics; She even has a natural aversion and aversion to politics. She wanted to ask Shang Cheng about the purpose of entering Beijing, most of it was just out of women's unique curiosity, and the rest of the reason was because women admired the vain nature One by one, you don't know why Admiral Yanshan secretly entered Beijing, but I just know!
After sitting down, as half of the master, Nanyang naturally spoke to Shang Cheng first. In her opinion, after all, He Di is "her own person", where is the reason to only greet her own family and snub the guests? Even if the business grows unpleasant, this is not a reason to despise the customer!
After inviting tea, she asked with concern: "How long has it been since Shang Gong entered Beijing?" Since Chen Pu's guards were introduced in this way, she also vaguely confused Shang Cheng's identity.
"It's been ten days." Shang Cheng said.
"Jingshi is a prosperous place, and Shang Gong is still used to living there, right?"
"Okay."
The simple reply made Nanyang feel a little at a loss. Don't look at the fact that although there are many people around her on weekdays, she is either a famous person or a eunuch in the past, and then she is a person who tends to be inflammatory, most of these people have thoughts and intentions of one kind or another, so they are all careful to greet her in their words. In addition, she was born in the royal family, and she has been flattered since she was a child, so she naturally has a lofty attitude, if others are riveting their hearts to please her in front of her, she can still deal with it calmly, but once she meets a local dignitary like Shang Cheng who has real power and has no intention of pleasing her, as soon as she says three or five polite words, she doesn't know where to lead the topic.
To be honest, she wanted to know what Shang Cheng was doing in Jing. If it were a different occasion, or someone else, she would definitely beat around the bush or even throw the problem out directly, even if Shang Cheng couldn't say it or didn't want to say it at the time, she had other ways to deal with it one by one, throwing a look, saying a pun, or further hinting...... She didn't believe he would keep his mouth shut!
It's a pity that she can't do any of this. Looking at Shang Cheng's calm appearance, he is obviously not a person who can be easily moved. And she wouldn't have any thoughts on this person. Until now, she didn't dare to look at Admiral Yanshan more when she spoke. She knew that what she was doing was rude, but she was really afraid to see that face, and that face was really terrible......
She lowered her head and couldn't speak, of course Shang Cheng was also happy, her eyelids were slightly closed, and her expression was natural, as if she was waiting for Princess Nanyang to ask, but in fact, her mind had already turned to other places.
Now, the only person in this room who is confused is He Di. Until now, he didn't know that there was a General Xuanwei sitting opposite, but he vaguely felt that Shang Cheng's origin was a bit strange. Seeing that Nanyang and Shang Cheng didn't speak, they smiled and broke the cold atmosphere in the room and said, "Listening to this Tan Yue's accent, it seems that he is from Shangjing?" ”
Shang Cheng nodded and said, "I lived here for a while a few years ago. He still speaks with a tone in Beijing, and it is even more obvious when the mood is agitated, and he can't hide it if he wants to, and then he simply doesn't make up nonsense to hide, as long as others ask, he says that he has lived in Beijing, and then asks, he says that he has studied Buddhism in Beijing for two years......
Nanyang suddenly smiled: "What does the little monk want to ask?" You probably don't know that this merchant was also a member of your Buddhist sect. "She heard some stories about Shang Cheng from Wang Yi, the Duke of Yiguo, and she still has a little impression of Shang Cheng once becoming a monk." It's just that people are not like you......" Eyes fluttered and glanced at He Di and then at Shang Cheng, paused and said, "Shang Gong is greedy for Hongchen, so he took off his robe and re-entered the world, but he is not like some people who are not right-mouthed......"
"Oh? Shang Gong also became a monk? He Di asked. A haze suddenly rose over his handsome face.
"Hmm. He has been a monk for several years. ”
He Di narrowed his eyes and asked again in an aggressive tone: "I don't know where Shang Gong was ordained in the first place, and who is the master?" Why don't you want to take a futon and a lonely lamp to the Buddha? ”
