Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Grace of Dripping Water
Xu Nankui tried her best to hold back her laughter, but got up and said to Princess Xu Huai: "Then thank you to the imperial sister-in-law for this matter, I have been bothering for a long time today, so I will go back first." ”
Princess Xu Huai watched Xu Nankui also get up, and then got up to send him off, and when she arrived at the door of the flower hall, Xu Nankui stopped Princess Xu Huai and said, "Sister-in-law, don't send it, lest the imperial uncle be jealous again." ”
Princess Xu Huai knew that Xu Nankui already knew that King Xu Huai was inside, so she glanced at the screen inside with some annoyance, and muttered to herself: "It's really useless!" ”
Xu Nankui said with a smile: "The imperial sister-in-law still waits to talk to the imperial uncle, there is one more thing to disturb the imperial sister-in-law!" ”
Princess Xu Huai tidied up Xu Nankui's hair ornament and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Nankui solemnly gave Princess Xu Huai a big gift, and then said: "Nankui is here, thank the imperial sister-in-law for her help to Li Sanniang, Sanniang is inconvenient to come here to thank you, and I will do it for you, I hope the imperial sister-in-law will not mind." ”
Princess Xu Huai was stunned for a while, and then the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and she said with a smile on her face: "That's her own creation, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Xu Nankui didn't say much, Princess Xu Huai didn't want to admit this feeling, so if she forcibly thanked her, it would be counterproductive.
When Li Sanniang was in the capital just now, Xu Nankui found many ways for them, but the world is always unfair to them.
Other people's misunderstandings, discrimination, and abuse, these are all added to this group of women, how many people have rejected them openly and secretly, Xu Nankui said at that time that he would raise them, but they did not agree.
At that time, Li Sanniang smiled and said to her: "Nankui, we have killed enemies together and been injured together, you can raise me, but in this world, I don't want you to raise me, I have to take them out of a road, a road to live on their own, no matter how difficult it is ahead, but if I don't take them down, we people can't live." ”
Xu Nankui was silent at that time, and did not persuade Li Sanniang again, at that time, under the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun poured on Li Sanniang's body, and Li Sanniang had no joy or sorrow.
There is only a firm belief on his face, and a vision for life.
Nankui didn't understand it before, but after experiencing it with Li Sanniang, she understood.
In the war years, those who have been on the battlefield are different, and the wounds in their hearts do not need time to make up.
The military exploits of soldiers are an honor, and that glory gives them the recuperation and recuperation of the wounds after the war, so since ancient times, they have only won battles, because after every choice of human nature, there must be something to support themselves.
But what about Li Sanniang? There is nothing, there will be no reward, because Xu Kangdi will not set this precedent, so they will not be appreciated by the world.
Without understanding, even if you take off your armor and return to the field, those people will not treat your military exploits as glory as they treat men, and those military exploits can only be shackles one by one, constantly imprisoning them.
Li Sanniang, who has opened the seal and seen the bloody knife, has no way to hide the murderous aura, and Li Sanniang, who has seen his own strength and controls his own destiny, is not used to clinging to other people's lives.
In the end, they opened the first floor, a green building that is considered a green building but not a green building.
It's just because, at least they live a little more arbitrarily and chic here, and they use more painful gossip to cover up their inner unwillingness and unhappiness.
This is also their last roar for this world, it is funny to say, men go to the battlefield to get promoted and make a fortune, glorify their ancestors, they can only open this green building, and survive for a long time.
Princess Xu Huai was the first person to help them, and took her female dependents to eat and drink here, suppressing gossip, and making the first floor the only green building that is not considered a green building.
This kindness was remembered by Li Sanniang and everyone on the first floor, so Princess Xu Huai also became the second shareholder of the first floor.
Princess Xu Huai looked at Xu Nankui's departing back and sighed, what she can do is actually not as good as Xu Nankui, she is more ruthless than herself, and her methods are more vicious.
She doesn't care about the world, history books, or what she is judged of, but she can be in awe of history books and stay away from gossip.
In her heart, she couldn't do it.
The emperors of the past dynasties can't do it, no emperor, an important minister, doesn't want to be famous in history, and no one wants to be contaminated with countless stains in their lives.
Xu Nankui dared, and did so.
King Xu Huai's voice came from inside the flower hall: "Don't look at it, everyone is far away." ”
Listen, with a sense of grievance, Princess Xu Huai couldn't help but smile: "I see that this is the same as what Taiping said, it really smells of vinegar, whose vinegar jar has been overturned." ”
King Xu Huai hugged Princess Xu Huai from behind, just hugged Princess Xu Huai and sat in front of the coffee table, wrapped Princess Xu Huai in his arms, rested his head on Princess Xu Huai's shoulder, and said in a humming voice: "Naturally, your vinegar jar has been overturned, and it is still a very serious kind." ”
Princess Xu Huai felt the heat in her ears, and her neck slowly turned red, as if dyed with a layer of pink and tender Caixia, which provoked King Xu Huai to bite it gently.
Princess Xu Huai was even more embarrassed, stretched out her hand to push King Xu Huai away, and changed the topic: "Don't make trouble, the sky is white, how much do you think what Taiping said is true and how much false?" ”
King Xu Huai didn't bother the princess anymore, stretched out his hand and put the jade pendant on the coffee table, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Princess Xu Huai looked at the jade pendant on the table, which was the coiled dragon jade that Xu Nankui threw on the ground and shattered before.
Princess Xu Huai reached out and touched the jade pendant, but did not speak for a long time.
King Xu Huai behind him said: "It's really fake, right? ”
Princess Xu Huai nodded and said: "Panlong jade is made by my uncle of the Shen family, there is only one piece in the world, this piece in front of me, from the appearance, but if I don't get started, I can't tell the truth or falsehood." ”
King Xu Huai's brows also furrowed, and he asked, "Even you can't tell the difference, and so am I, but your uncle has been dead for a long time, and this jade pendant is very important, so it is impossible to make two pieces." ”
Princess Xu Huai was a little anxious in her heart, and broke free from King Xu Huai's arms and said, "Hot! ”
King Xu Huai understood that this was Princess Xu Huai's anxiety, so he let go of Princess Xu Huai, and thoughtfully changed a cup of tea to Princess Xu Huai and sent it to him, comforting: "If you are irritable, don't think about it." ”
Princess Xu Huai rubbed her head and said: "I can't help but be annoyed, two things, first, even if this jade pendant is fake, but at least it shows that Taiping has the ability to imitate the real thing, or Xu Kangdi has acquiesced in this matter." ”
Princess Xu Huai took a sip of tea, moistened her throat and continued: "Second, where does this jade pendant come from, if it is made by outsiders, then everything is easy to say, but if it flows out of my Shen family, then it is a great rebellion and a crime of rebellion." ”
Princess Xu Huai asked with a cold face, "Which one do you think?" ”
After thinking for a while, King Xu Huai said: "From today's Xu Kangdi took the tiger talisman of Zhenbei Hou directly and gave it to Xu Nankui, I am more inclined to the second type, Xu Kangdi acquiesced in this matter, this is a transfer of power, as for where the jade pendant you said flowed from, I suspect that it was your Shen family that flowed out." ”
Princess Xu Huai's face became even more ugly, and she asked, "Why?" ”
King Xu Huai touched his chin and said: "First, the production of this kind of jade pendant must have drawings, or someone can watch and figure it out for a long time. ”
Princess Xu Huai took another sip of tea and listened quietly.
King Xu Huai continued: "But this jade pendant has always been kept by Emperor Xu Kang, and it is generally invisible to outsiders, and there is no chance to figure it out for a long time, so it can only be that someone from your Shen family has seen it, made it, or the drawings have been lost." ”
Princess Xu Huai sighed and said, "Yes, but no matter which one it is, it is not a small crime, if it is not handled well, then it may lead to the destruction of the Shen family." ”
King Xu Huai walked over, gently hugged Princess Xu Huai, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, everything is with me, nothing will happen." ”
Princess Xu Huai unloaded the strength on her body, collapsed in King Xu Huai's arms and said, "Okay, I can't do anything about this matter, you go and investigate, don't take care of me." ”
King Xu Huai nodded and said in Princess Xu Huai's ear: "Okay! ”
Princess Xu Huai suddenly got up and said, "Then what do you mean by Taiping's move?" ”
Both fell silent.
This is a handle, as long as Xu Nankui doesn't say it, then at the critical moment, whether it is for the people of the Liao State led by Li Xiang, or for Xu Nankui, it is a handle.
King Xu Huai will definitely be controlled by others in order to protect Princess Xu Huai, after all, if these two families are forced to be in a hurry, the Shen family's century-old family business and the military power in the hands of King Xu Huai is not a joke.
There is still the strength to fight to the death.
Princess Xu Huai suddenly laughed, with a hint of absurdity, with a hint of emotion.
King Xu Huai asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”
Princess Xu Huai rubbed her face and said, "This is Taiping repaying my favor, for Li Sanniang, and for herself, otherwise there is no need for her to break this jade pendant directly to remind me." ”
King Xu Huai thought for a long time, and finally said, "Is it Li Sanniang on the first floor?" ”
Princess Xu Huai nodded and said: "They were the last survivors of the battle with Taiping in Biansai, but the world will not accept them, whether it is merchants or those men who visit the building. ”
Princess Xu Huai said with a sneer: "It's a pity that this is the way of the world, they still did it, I just went to their shop and sat down, opened my mouth, and got through their dealings with the Shen family, in the final analysis, it is still a benefit." ”
"Li Sanniang has already given me the shares on the first floor, and now Taiping has sent this jade pendant again, in the final analysis, I have to owe them it."
King Xu Huai hugged Princess Xu Huai tightly again, and said: "Don't be too much, since you are the first to make a move, at least you are a light for them at that time, illuminating them and giving them hope." ”
Princess Xu Huai said with a firm gaze: "Maybe, but today, I want to make this light brighter, what do you think of Huaijing?" ”
