The Shen family's income and expenditure are recorded in detail, from firewood, rice and grain every day, to human contacts. Shen Jinglun has always been impatient with these trivialities, and the most he can do is to look at the total.

When He Huan was still Lin Xiyan, Shen Zhihua took the Shen family's account books to her, and later she felt that Shen Jinglun didn't want her to focus on trivial matters, so she said to Shen Zhihua that everything is still according to convention, and every six months, she can take a look at it instead of Shen Jinglun. Later, she became pregnant, and the account books were still checked by Shen Jinglun.

At that time, because Lin Xiyan wanted to know about Lu Dao Xie Minjun, she paid special attention to the exchange of courtesies between the Shen family and the capital. If she remembered correctly, Shen Jinglun's gift to the Yong'an Hou Mansion was almost 20,000 to 30,000 taels every year. She only saw the Shen family's expenses, and did not see the Xie family's return gift.

At the moment, it is inconvenient for He Huan to tell Xie San about this, and who can guarantee that Xie San knows the truth, or all the facts? She didn't want to argue with it, so she replied: "Third master, how can outsiders know the truth about the affairs of the Shen family and the Xie family?" In your opinion, it was Uncle Shen who made Miss Xie commit suicide, and he was sorry for the Yong'an Hou family, but in my opinion, it was Uncle Shen who didn't want to involve Miss Xie, but Miss Xie was a strong woman, so Uncle Shen blamed himself and didn't marry for many years. ”

"You just don't believe me?" Xie San was extremely annoyed.

"Third master, as I said just now, it's not a matter of trust, it's just a matter of different positions."

Xie San glared at He Huan, and his heart was even more irritable. He knew that she was very honest and sincere with herself. She may have deceived him before. But since they have experienced life and death together. She trusted him. Her attitude towards his words and actions is impeccable. But why is he so angry?

"It's really unreasonable!" Xie San snorted, turned around and walked out. As soon as one of his feet crossed the threshold, he turned back and said angrily, "I will prove it to you, and he said that he would not marry a wife for three years." I'm not going to let him cornering you. ”

He Huan was stunned for a moment before he understood, the meaning of Xie San's words, since Shen Jinglun said it. If you want to take her as a concubine, you will definitely use means to force her to comply. He will not let Shen Jinglun get his wish, and at the same time will expose his true colors.

Seeing that Xie San had already walked out of the house and stepped down the steps, He Huan said behind him, "Third Master, please stay." She caught up with him, stood in front of him, and said, "There is one thing that I cannot understand. ”

Xie San's eyes.

He Huan pondered for a moment and summarized briefly: "If my guess is correct, seven or eight years ago. Feng Jiyang planned to deceive his aunt. In fact, not only aunts and grandmothers, but also the Qian family, the Luo family, and so on. Take my house, for example. Feng Jiyang learned that the third uncle and his aunt had always been at odds, so he bribed He Daxu, cooperated with the third uncle, and deceived his aunt and grandmother into taking silver into the ships going abroad. It stands to reason that the matter should be over here, and Feng Jiyang could have left Jizhou with that amount of silver, but I only found out today that a few years ago, there was a woman who claimed to be Tang Shuiting, Tang An's daughter, lurking beside the third uncle......

"So, your third uncle and third aunt went to court, did you really arrange it?"

"Yes." He Huan nodded, "But I don't understand, Shui Ting framed the third uncle for colluding with the thief Tang An, maybe he could make the third uncle the mastermind behind the scenes, and put the death of He Daxu and others on him, but Miss Shui Ting 'met' the third uncle a few years ago, and at that time they could not have expected that Feng Jiyang would die at the hands of Xie Zhutou." What was the original purpose of that Shuiting girl? ”

Xie San really wanted to say that Shen Jinglun was inseparable from all this, but these days, he has been monitoring the Shen family. Maybe Shen Nianxi's illness was fake, but Shen Jinglun did not act suspiciously, nor did he contact suspicious characters. Feng Jiyang did go to the Shen family, but he was turned away. That day, looking at his action of kicking the door, he was very dissatisfied with the Shen family.

He Huan asked: "Third master, Shui Ting is missing, I always feel uneasy, as if there is a follow-up to the whole thing." You're an outsider, what do you think about these things? ”

"You stopped me and asked me if my opinion was false. Your real purpose is that you don't want me to trouble Shen Jinglun, right? Xie San looked at He Huan with burning eyes. He suddenly felt that if she was a man, maybe they could become good friends. It's a pity that she is a woman, and she was confused by Shen Jinglun's appearance and fell into the cliché of wind and snow.

He Huan couldn't help but feel embarrassed when Xie San said the central matter, but he just smiled on his face, and said lightly: "The third uncle and the third aunt have already destroyed the things left by Shui Ting before Xiao Zhutou arrived, but I'm afraid, she still has a back-up move." ”

"Are you sure that your third uncle and third aunt can get out?"

"Nine times out of ten." He Huan nodded, and added: "If Shui Ting doesn't have a flower for the aftermath." ”

When He Huan and Xie San were talking, Shen Jinglun had just learned in "Cuizhuxuan" that the farce of the yamen was still continuing, and Xie San stayed in front of He Huan's door for a while, and was invited into the door by He Huan after the last time.

Seeing that Shen Jinglun was holding a hot teacup, but he didn't feel hot at all, his eyes stared at the hot tea soup in a daze, and the person who replied didn't dare to look up at him, only felt cold sweat on his forehead.

His name is Zhao Li, and like Shen Zhihua, Yuan Peng and others, he followed his master all the way from the capital to Jizhou. Now, although Wen Zhu and the others are the servants who serve the master closely, he thinks that they are the master's henchmen.

But even if they are henchmen, most of the time they don't understand what their master is thinking. Taking what happened just now, Yuan Peng reminded him that his master's attitude towards Miss He seemed to be different. He didn't believe it at first, after all, after the incident ten years ago, they all thought that the master had long looked down on the relationship between men and women, but now he believed it.

In the scorching silence, Shen Jinglun finally put down the hot tea in his hand. He looked at his reddish fingertips, moved the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you handed back the news from the capital yet?" As early as the first time he heard the name of "Xie San", he ordered someone to go to the capital to verify his identity. Count the time, there should be news back today.

Zhao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied respectfully: "Uncle, it should be almost there...... Well, the little ones are waiting here......"

"No need." Shen Jinglun waved his hand, "You go down first, and then you will return to me when there is news." ”

When Shen Jinglun was the only one left in the house, he got up again and stood by the window, looking at the acacia tree in the yard from a distance, he had never paid attention to it before, until this time, he found that the acacia flowers in the sun were so dazzling and bright, as if her smile made him feel dazzling, but it warmed his heart unconsciously.

"Is this fate?" He muttered to himself. Suddenly, he seemed to see Xie Minjun hanging on the beam of the room with a three-foot white silk, and Lin Xiyan lying on the delivery bed with a pale face, he reached out and held the window frame, and stood like that, his eyes fixed on the acacia flowers that looked like flames and red glow.

I don't know how long it took, just as Shen Jinglun's knuckles were already white, Zhao Li hurriedly came and said eagerly: "Uncle, the news from the capital has come back." ”

"Come in and talk about it." Shen Jinglun took a deep breath, his expression was as calm as usual, and he closed the window with his hand.

Zhao Li stepped into the house, saluted Shen Jinglun, and replied: "There is no prince in the capital who has left Beijing in the near future, and it is also a fact that the third son of the Hou Mansion of Yong'an died young, and it is said that the genealogy of the Hou Mansion is also recorded......

"Supposedly?" Shen Jinglun's voice showed a little displeasure.

"Uncle forgiveness." Zhao Li knelt down and replied in a trembling voice: "The investigators can only find out that thirteen years ago, after the old marquis reported the death of his young son to the emperor, he wrote this matter on the Xie family tree. As for how the Xie family tree records this matter, I'm afraid that only the old marquis and the prince know about it. ”

Shen Jinglun thought about it, how could the genealogy of a family be peeped at by outsiders. He softened his tone and asked, "What about the six doors?" ”

"It seems that the prince has given up on continuing to look for his eldest son, and several Xie family members who were originally arranged to enter the six doors are now doing other errands, including Xie Zhenghui, who appeared in Jizhou before."

"Other errands?" Shen Jinglun asked.

"Except for Xie Zhenghui who is tracking down the former prince Yu Dang...... Zhao Li quietly raised his eyes, glanced at Shen Jinglun with the corner of his eye, and immediately lowered his head and said: "Except for him tracking down the stolen property back then, everyone else is doing ordinary cases." At the beginning of the year, the prince accepted two concubines, but there has been no news of pregnancy. ”

"So there's no definite news?" Shen Jinglun felt that he finally understood why Xie San was so fearless. He must have known that even if he sent someone to the capital to investigate, there would be no result.

"Uncle, the messenger asked the little one to tell you something, but for the time being, I don't know if these things are related to Third Master Xie."

"Say!" Shen Jinglun originally thought that as long as he sent someone to the capital, he would be able to see Xie San clearly. As it turned out, he was wrong.

Zhao Li lowered his head and considered his rhetoric, and replied: "Three years ago, in the first battle against the northwest, the emperor rewarded a few yuan of young generals......

"Are you hinting that Xie San is likely to be Xie Chun'an?" Shen Jinglun stood up abruptly and shook his head slowly, "Xie Chun'an joined the army five years ago, Xie San is only twenty this year, he is too young...... Besides, he should be in the northwest at this time. Shen Jinglun said as he paced the room with his hands behind his back.

Last year, at the beginning of Xie Guifei's birth of the emperor's eldest son, the emperor was happy, and Xie Chun'an led the army to defeat the Mongolian people. However, he has not been seen in the capital.

In fact, there have long been rumors in the court that the emperor knew that he would definitely win a battle against the Mongols, so he personally ordered Xie Chun'an to lead the army to resist the enemy, just to give him meritorious service and give him a title. (To be continued......)
