156. Embarrassment
I forgot who said: Whoever makes a peace of interest will one day be destroyed!
I believe in this statement, so I refuse to be reconciled because of interest.
But that doesn't mean everyone will say no.
Lying on the roof, I carefully distinguished the voices below, and their discussion was very intense, as if there was some irreconcilable contradiction!
I only heard the Murong family elder sitting in the middle beside Murong Qin and said in a deep voice: "Command the envoy! The conditions you just said, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our Murong family to accept! β
It seems that there must have been quite a conversation beforehand, and it was not pleasant. As soon as he said this, Yan Xufeng suddenly snorted coldly, and said lightly: "What? Lord Murong Hui thinks we don't offer enough? Can't afford your Murong family's labor? β
Murong Hui was choked enough, and he couldn't speak for a while, and the other elder next to him was also silently silent, but Murong Qin's smiling voice came, and when everyone looked at her, Murong Qin Fang spoke:
"Master Yan, what you said is inappropriate!" This sentence sounds very beautiful, but the tone is quite unkind. Yan Xufeng looked at this woman, as if he was even more jealous than the elders of their Murong family, and asked rhetorically, but he was much more polite: "Oh! If there is anything wrong, please advise Miss Qin! β
This Murong Qin smiled before saying a word, like a blooming begonia flower, and said coquettishly: "Lord Yan, our Murong family and Jinyiwei have cooperated for so many years, have you ever bargained?" β
Yan Xufeng was silent for a while, and Fang said in a low voice: "Well, since I was the governor, there has indeed been no such situation. β
Murong Qin asked again: "Then our Murong family, are there any tasks that the adults have not completed?" β
Yan Xufeng replied very happily this time: "That's really not!" The mission of the Murong family must be achieved, and this is praised in the industry. β
Murong Qin asked, "Then I will ask Lord Yan at the end, but after cooperating this time, I will no longer cooperate in the future?" β
Yan Xufeng laughed twice, and then said, "Miss Qin is laughing again!" The relationship between our two families is relatively good, and it is no longer one or two generations, and according to this situation, it must be natural to have perennial contacts and continue to cooperate. β
Murong Qin nodded and said loudly: "Therefore, the request made by our Murong family this time is not too much at all!" Lord Yan, you are on top, but please don't forget, if it weren't for the help of our Murong family, I'm afraid that your mission this time might not be so easy to complete! β
Yan Xufeng's face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Qin, what do you mean by this?" β
Murong Qin sneered and said, "That's what it means." Master Zhang Siwei is very scruples about Sun Qilan, the former first assistant descendant, this time he made such a heavy hand, brought down Li Zaixing, and tried every possible way to lure Sun Qilan back, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! β
Yan Xufeng nodded and said, "That's right!" I know this, what does Miss Qin mean by mentioning it again? β
Murong Qin said loudly: "Lord Yan, do you know how many powerful people our Murong family has offended the military department and the official department for this matter, and how much price has we paid for it!" Why not ask you to get some compensation for us? Mr. Yan, please show me! β
Yan Xufeng was silent for a long time, and then Fang spoke: "It is true that as Miss Qin said, this time for Li Zaixing, the Murong family has contributed a lot, and it is indeed a considerable price!" It's just that what you asked for was for the Murong family to fully enter the Jinyi Guard, first, what I said doesn't count. Second, it's really unruly! β
As he spoke, he patted the table, looked at the person on the left, and asked, "Commander Liu, why don't we report this matter together, and see what it means!" After all...... You tell me? β
The conductor surnamed Liu was in his forties, with a snarky face and a sharp voice, and he was a eunuch when he heard it: "According to our family's opinion, this matter can be reported, but it is estimated that the boss is likely not to regret it." If you want me to say, the Murong family might as well discuss it first, change the formulation, or just follow the method we said before, maybe everyone will be happy! β
Murong Qin was about to speak again, but Yan Xufeng interrupted her words and said bluntly: "No need to say it again!" The top priority is to lay a net and capture Sun Qilan who has sneaked in! It is said that Zhang Juzheng had a secret meeting with him before his death and explained a lot of future affairs. Lord Zhang Siwei is very jealous of this, he must see people in life and corpses in death! β
As he spoke, he hammered the table heavily and snorted coldly: "If you don't do it well this time, don't talk about rewards, I'm afraid that your Murong family will live in the future...... It won't be too easy! β
The three members of the Murong family were all speechless for a moment, after all, they were people in the wilderness, and compared to a behemoth like Jinyiwei, it was really difficult to shake. So all three had to nod.
Murong Qin finally spoke: "Lord Yan, then we will continue to cooperate and be caught around the Li family!" I believe that with Sun Qilan's temperament, she will definitely come back to save her fiancΓ©e! With his character, he will never stand idly by when he sees his lover in trouble! After saying that, it was another coquettish laugh!
Yan Xufeng nodded, as if he wanted to say something, he endured it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and still asked: "Miss Qin, I have heard many times that Sun Qilan was quite kind to you at the beginning, why did you try so hard to deal with him?" There must be some reason, right? β
After this sentence was asked, a slight look of embarrassment flashed on Murong Qin's face, but he quickly covered it up, and replied: "The so-called not thin, it is just the charity of the superior to the subordinate!" What I want is to rely on my own ability and play my own position! And not the charity of others! β
This sentence was said in a strict manner, but there was a flicker between her eyebrows and eyes, obviously facing Yan Xufeng's smiling eyes, she still couldn't clear up the betrayal of the past and the present without any care.
So Murong Qin sighed and continued to add: "After all, I am a member of the Murong family, and sometimes, it is not up to me to decide......
Yan Xufeng nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but he and the Murong family said a lot of other things in the past few days, all of which were plotting to frame reformist officials. I heard it in my ears and remembered it in my heart, and this information must be delivered to the people who should be delivered!
After finishing the matter, these dog men and women said a lot of nonsensical words, and there was no lack of suggestive language such as "go to Bada Hutong for a cup of tea together when you have time", which made the five men laugh quite contently. Murong Qin also coped with it easily, and threw out some burdens in advance and retreat, and the atmosphere became more and more active.
Having said that, the elder who was sitting on the other side of the Murong family and had never spoken suddenly said: "Lord Yan, three days later will be the sixty-fifth birthday of the head of the family, Murong Ke, and the Murong family has a special idea, that is, every Friday must be passed!" So when the time comes, there will be a lively scene in this compound, and I, Murong Xing, on behalf of the head of the family, will send a sincere invitation to all of you, and I hope to be sure to come at that time, and drink a glass of water and wine! β
Yan Xufeng laughed twice, nodded and said, "Old Mr. Murong's birthday, the younger generation must arrive!" It's going to be a nuisance again! β
Several people from the Murong family hurriedly politely said that there was no practical meaning in saying anything like welcome. After speaking, Yan Xufeng got up, the two sides saluted, and Yan Xufeng led the people.
After sending Yan Xufeng and Jin Yiwei away, the three of them went back upstairs, but this time they spoke much more casually. That Murong Hui took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Qin'er, Fang Cai's question from the commander, in fact, I have always wanted to ask." β
After speaking, he was silent, and Murong Qin was silent.
Murong Hui sighed, and then said: "At the beginning, when you were working under Sun Qilan, we observed it for a long time and thought that this person had a great future. Even today, he is still a promising new force. Why...... Why didn't you recruit Sun Qilan as you originally conceived? If you get married, then he will be half of the Murong family, so why not? β
Murong Qin replied very resolutely this time: "Uncle, you know Qin'er's temperament!" For me, what's mine is mine, and I will never share it with others! And Sun Qilan he ...... He has Miss Li, and there are so many capable and good-looking female companions around him, I can't plug it in, I can't grab it......"
After speaking, she raised her head and took a sip of tea, gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "So, what I can't get, I won't let others get!" If it's not mine, I'm ...... I'd rather ruin him! β
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room, and after a long time, Murong Xing said again: "This time the Li family will inevitably fall, but I am afraid that Sun Qilan may not come to rescue this Li Huamei again." So my thoughts, when this matter passes, I should try my best to be good friends with Sun Qilan, after all, he has a strong reputation among the reformers, and he is actually the leader of the younger generation of the reformers, and there may not be no possibility of a comeback in the future! β
Without waiting for Murong Qin to speak, Murong Hui said: "Let's see, if Sun Qilan gives up Li Huamei, it means that he doesn't know what we are doing here." If you have a chance in the future, you should do your best to repair him! β
Murong Qin was silent, and the three of them sighed for a while and went their separate ways.
I stayed on the roof, and my heart was mixed - I was used as a target, and I was used as a bargaining chip, pushing and pushing from crowd to crowd! No one can stand it! Especially, they are calculating me, hurting me, and trying to take advantage of me! It's tolerable, it's unbearable! I'm definitely going to make them pay for this incident! A huge price!
After the three of them left, the guards around the small building also dispersed. When the guards were empty, I slid down from the roof of the building silently, floated to the side of the Nine Ghosts and Zhengxiao, made a gesture, and the two followed me to the west courtyard.
When I arrived at a quiet and dark place in the corridor, I whispered, "Three days later, the Murong family's birthday banquet!" Let's go to the West Courtyard to have a look! β
The two nodded and took the order, and we were like three silent ghosts, and in a short time, we came to the west courtyard in the gap between patrols and guards.
In the west courtyard, it was a different scene, the servants came and went, busy, but no one dared to speak loudly. I see that their actions are basically preparing for their birthdays.
Climbed to the height of the eaves, the three of us quietly watched the people below busy, at this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward walked into the west courtyard with his hands behind his back, and several middle-aged grandmothers who commanded the work immediately greeted him, flattering the middle-aged man with a smile, and expressed their merits to this "* family".
* Home is a look of not smiling, go east and west, listen to who says well, at most nod their heads, and the grandmothers next to them seem to have received great glory and smile.
After walking around, the * family finally pointed and poked a few more places, and the grandmothers wrote them down. * The family put their hands behind their backs and prepared to go back to rest.
Before going out, *Jia suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, I almost forgot about the big thing because of the noise you guys!" The old man said, this year is a big birthday, don't use those ordinary wines to deal with it! Go and bring out the seven altars of daughters buried in the backyard! Take a good look and drink home-brewed sake this year! β
The grandmothers immediately wrote it down again, and a particularly fat woman responded vigorously, indicating that she knew, and the * family just shook away.
Is my daughter red? Good wine, hum, I must try it first! I thought to myself.
After turning around left and right again, there was no more valuable information, so I took the nine ghosts Zhengxiao and Mo, quietly sneaked out of the courtyard, and took advantage of the night to return to the residence.
And my plan is already in my heart, slowly brewing, scrutinizing, and unfolding......
