Chapter 641: Before the Banquet

Parents died early, the only sister died tragically, and the anger of being a younger brother to avenge his sister and not say that revenge is not such a thing, at least it makes sense, as for Pingzhuang's blood upwelling alone to avenge whether it succeeded or failed, what the consequences are, and the consequences that he will incur if he abandons selfishness is only a matter of one person.

But Zhou Shilin's fate is different, looking at Zhou Shilin, who is not very in tune at times, is a famous figure in the middle row of the military generals of the DPRK and China, and the weight of his speech after the incident of Shanxi Road is heavier among the military generals of the DPRK and China.

And the Zhou Shilin she saw was not a reckless man, and he helped Pingzhuang for no reason, so she didn't believe what Zhou Shilin didn't expect Pingzhuang to do.

After a long silence, Zhou Shilin spoke: "People can't die in vain, can they?" ”

One sentence was enough to confirm Qiao Ran's guess: Zhou Shilin was obviously not as simple as he said before, just bringing his juniors to arrange Pingzhuang to her side.

He'll meddle in that too.

After a pause, without waiting for the girl to speak, Zhou Shilin said: "But you don't have to ask about our plans or anything, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to interfere." ”

The girl was silent for a moment with her eyebrows twisted, and after a while, she said, "The matter of Princess Zhenzhen and that sister in Pingzhuang actually doesn't need to be investigated. The answer is obvious.

"It's what the real princess did." Zhou Shilin snorted and said, "Pingzhuang's deceased sister is that kind of character, she can't mix a little sand in her eyes, and she can't get used to seeing Princess Zhenzhen's behavior, and once she had a dispute, she scolded Princess Zhenzhen in front of many people." originally thought that her surname was Cui, but the real princess didn't dare to touch her, who knows......"

"Murder is often worse than verbal abuse, fists and kicks." Qiao Ran said calmly, "Villains are always difficult to guard. ”

"yes!" Zhou Shilin couldn't help but sigh a few times about this, and only then did he realize that he had said more to her, but fortunately, the girl was a steady and knowledgeable person, and she wouldn't go out and talk nonsense.

"By the way, how long has Pingzhuang been on leave?" After sighing, Zhou Shilin did not forget the reason why she was scolded at the beginning.

"The little official said that he took leave, saying that he was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors," Qiao Ran replied to him, thought about it, and counted the days, "It will take ten days and a half months to go back and forth to Qinghe!" ”

The ancestral home of the Cui family in Qinghe is in Qinghe, and Pingzhuang is naturally going back to Qinghe to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

It is because she knows the kung fu of going back and forth on the road that the girl will be so calm and not worried at all.

In any case, before Pingzhuang didn't make a move, Princess Zhenzhen should not be in charge of Pingzhuang, but she and Zhang Jie, as the "mastermind" who drove Princess Zhenzhen out of Chang'an City first, I am afraid that she has become a thorn in the eye of Princess Zhenzhen at this time.

After all, people hold grudges, and she and Zhang Xie are the enemies of the real princess at this time.

Ugly to say? With her and Zhang Xie in front of you? As long as Pingzhuang doesn't take the initiative to run in front of Princess Zhenzhen, there shouldn't be any major incident.

So? Before Pingzhuang took the initiative to run to take revenge? It should still be safe.

Qiao Ran thought like this, and took the opportunity to look at Zhou Shilin? But Zhou Shilin's reaction was a little unexpected for her. No anxiety or anger, he was just stunned for a moment? Then he suddenly asked Qiao Ran: "It seems that there is no problem in returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors?" Right! ”

What does it mean to return to the hometown to worship ancestors, there seems to be no problem? Qiao Ran instinctively sensed that something seemed to be wrong, so she asked Zhou Shilin, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Shilin thought for a while and said, "Also...... It's not a big deal, it's just that Pingzhuang didn't return to his hometown once in a few years when he walked around the rivers and lakes before? "Paused? As if he was afraid that she would be worried, Zhou Shilin hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal, he also went back to worship his ancestors before." ”

After the girl looked at him for a long time, she asked Zhou Shilin: "Where are his dead sister and brother-in-law buried?" ”

Zhou Shilin was stunned? Instinctively blurted out: "It's in the garden mausoleum where the generals are buried on the outskirts of the capital." ”

After always being loyal, the upright temperament of Miss Cui is also very good for their generals' appetite? The relationship between the two is good, is it because he came forward to negotiate with the Cui family before? Then let the young lady of the Cui family be buried here together. A good marriage because of this stubble, can't be an adult couple? If you know anything underground, you can be a pair of mandarin ducks in the underworld.

What's wrong with that? See that the girl doesn't speak? Zhou Shilin suddenly became nervous: this kind of inexplicable and sudden silence was all too familiar to him: it was like this when he was on Shanxi Road before.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Is it right? Zhou Shilin thought about it, and said it himself without waiting for the girl to speak.

In this regard, the girl only glanced at him before slowly speaking: "It's not ......."

Nothing! Zhou Shilin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl didn't seem to finish speaking, and after a pause, she said: "I just think that since Pingzhuang doesn't return to his hometown once in a few years, it can be seen that he doesn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing as ancestor worship." In the past, it was okay, but now they are all in the capital, and the New Year's sacrifice is not in the capital to pay tribute to my sister, but my brother-in-law runs back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, which feels weird. ”

When the girl said this, her tone was flat, as if she didn't think it was a big deal, but Zhou Shilin, who heard her say this, was shocked.

Originally, he didn't think it was a big deal, but her faint words made him more and more frightened the more he thought about it, so much so that he couldn't help but think about it, and finally couldn't help it, and said, "No, I'd better send someone to Qinghe to bring him back......"

"Maybe it's too late to go now!" The girl's reaction to this was still flat, she thought about it, and said calmly, "He is on annual leave, if it is really what he planned, he should come back today." So, I guess what he really wants to do...... Maybe it's already been done. ”

Zhou Shilin, who said a word, almost jumped up, pointed at Qiao Ran's nose and exclaimed, "Then you still have the heart to say cool things here?" Why don't you find a way to get him back? ”

The girl replied to him: "I am looking for it at this time, can I still fly out and bring him back?" ”

Zhou Shilin choked.

"Besides, if something really goes wrong with this matter, you should be to blame." The girl refused to take the blame, "You arranged him to be by my side, but you didn't tell me, if I hadn't found out myself, I'm afraid he would still be in the dark until this time." I don't know how to give you advice on this matter? ”

There is no problem with this, Rao is self-proclaimed cheeky Zhou Shilin's face was a little unbearable at this time, and he said in his heart: It is really a character who refuses to carry the slightest pot.

She will not shirk her responsibility, but it is not her fault, and she will never take the initiative to take responsibility.

"If I tell you, will you take Pingzhuang with you?" Zhou Shilin paused and asked her rhetorically.

When the girl heard this, she thought for a while and said, "If you only mention the matter of Princess Zhenzhen and Miss Cui Jia, I may not be willing." ”

Then blame him for not saying it? Zhou Shilin straightened his chest and felt a little more confident.

The girl paused, and said, "But if you say something about Zhang Jie, I will do it!" ”

Zhou Shilin [Youyou Reading xt.xyz]: "......" Why didn't he think of it!

This true princess and her Heavenly Master are the ones who really have a feud.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is not your friend!

But at this point, it's too late to figure out the remorse.

Compared with Zhou Shilin's anxiety, the girl is still calm: "Actually, don't worry too much, today's palace banquet Princess Zhenzhen, the golden branch and jade leaf, will definitely attend, look at her, don't let her have an accident?" ”

Although until this time they didn't know whether Pingzhuang had really returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors or if he had gone to an unknown place to prepare for revenge as she guessed, it was only clear that Pingzhuang's enemy, Princess Zhenzhen, had not made any trouble, so naturally it didn't matter.

Zhou Shilin's mood was also through twists and turns when she spoke, and he was not at ease until this time, but when he looked at the girl again, he couldn't help but mutter: No wonder he is so calm! Feelings are already thinking of countermeasures.

He said, although this girl is young, she is still very stable, of course, the premise is that she is willing to take over the work.

Yes, on the way back, Zhou Shilin did not forget to remind her: "This kid has always been by your side for so long, there is no hard work and hard work, you don't forget to take care of it!" ”

The girl walked forward on her own, ignoring him.

Zhou Shilin said again: "You don't care about Pingzhuang, your family Zhang Tianshi will always take care of it!" If you really let Princess Zhenzhen continue to be so arrogant, your Zhang Tianshi will be unlucky. ”

The girl paused and glanced back at him.

When Zhou Shilin saw it, his face suddenly became happy, and he said: "So, this is not helping Pingzhuang, but also helping yourself!" ”

The girl said, "Governor, you can take a seat." ”

The palace banquet is complicated, and there are many people who come, so it is naturally impossible to wait until the banquet begins to sit again, after all, the open space for officials to chat is only so large, so it is better to sit early.

"Anyway, you know." Zhou Shilin glanced at her and left with confidence.

I knew that explaining to her could make people so comfortable, he was full of food and wanted to hide it!

"What do you understand?" Zhen Shiyuan and Xu Hexiu, who were walking towards her, muttered incomprehensibly, and then urged her, "Let's go!" It's time to take your seat. ”

What can you do when you can sit in the table and stay outside to blow the cold wind?

Although the yamen of Dali Temple is special among the yamen of the various ministries in the capital, it is not eye-catching, and the seats arranged are not in the top corner, but they are not in the front, so whether it is Zhen Shiyuan or Xu Hexiu or Qiao Ran, they are satisfied.

It is of course the best to be able to see His Majesty and not prevent them from eating and drinking on their own.

After taking a seat, Xu Hexiu didn't forget to say to her: "After the time to solve his son, he will preside over the sacrificial national ceremony, and he is very busy, so he didn't mean not to come to you." ”

He Xu and Xiu are still very friends, and they don't forget to help explain at this time.

The girl just hummed at this and didn't care.

Zhen Shiyuan, who was sitting in front of the two, turned around at this time and asked her, "What were you talking about with Zhou Shilin before?" ”

Qiao Ran said: "I'm talking about Pingzhuang's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors." ”

The reason for Pingzhuang's leave, several people present knew that it was Zhen Shiyuan who just hummed and didn't ask any more.

The girl grabbed an orange from the table and peeled it off.

At this time, it was still early for the palace banquet to begin.

It just so happened that at this time, a team of palace people carrying bundled fireworks passed in front of several people, Zhen Shiyuan glanced at it casually, and said, "The fireworks of Xingshenghe are really getting bigger and bigger." ”

Fireworks that are almost as tall as people know that the effects of their release are necessarily complex.

"Last year, it was a dragon-shaped fireworks," Xu Hexiu said when he saw this. Compared with Zhen Shiyuan and Qiao Ran, who were not in Chang'an City last year, he knew a little, so the Sacred Heart was happy, and His Majesty also specially allocated a reward to Xingshenghe, and he didn't know what it would be like to be released this year.

"It's always a good sign of wealth and peace!" Zhen Shiyuan is not very interested in this, but is more interested in the oranges in the hands of girls.

"How's it taste?" Zhen Shiyuan asked her.

The girl nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's sweet." ”

"In the end, it's a tribute, and there will be no surprises." Zhen Shiyuan saw that the girl stuffed it into her mouth one by one, so she also took an orange and peeled it and ate it, and sure enough, it tasted good as the girl said.

It was a little boring to sit like this for a while, so Zhen Shiyuan simply pointed to the group of officials in the seat in front of her and asked her to recognize people.

"Oh, you should recognize Wang Situ, Cui Sikong and Taiwei Xie!" Zhen Shiyuan pointed to the three people who came together to talk in the first row, "Wang Situ likes to listen to stories and watch plays, and he also has a special drama troupe at home. That one...... The eyebrows with a little cinnabar mole, known as the 'living Bodhisattva' is Cui Sikong, when he was young, he was a wonderful beautiful man, and he was not bad when he was old, my wife praised the appearance of Cui's children, and I heard that people are a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. ”

Qiao Ran's eyes swept over the three people that Zhen Shiyuan pointed at one by one, and finally paused on the face of Cui Sikong, turned his head and asked Zhen Shiyuan, who was eating oranges: "Is there anything special about his mole?" ”

"It's a cinnabar mole, just like the Bodhisattva in the temple." Xu Hexiu on the side didn't know if he saw that the two of them were hungry for food, so they also peeled an orange and said, "I've heard Xie Zhi say this, and it's a good sign to look at the face!" ”

Qiao Ran snorted and said, "That old lady Fang who was locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department used to have a mole like this, but it was not as central as him, the position was biased, and the color was ...... It's also black. ”

According to Old Madam Fang and Second Madam Fang's mother and daughter, the mole that Old Madam Fang used to have was indeed red, but she didn't know what was going on, and when she saw it, it had already turned black.

Second Lady Fang also said to Fang Xiuting in private, "The broom star mana is boundless, making Old Lady Fang's mole black, and the good cinnabar mole into a moldy mole, so don't offend the broom Xingyun."

Of course, this was what Fang Xiuting secretly told her after the relationship with them became better, saying that Second Mrs. Fang had a deep belief in her that was close to "faith", believing that she could kill gods when she met gods, kill Buddhas when she met Buddhas, and all poisons would not invade, as long as she hugged her thighs, she would be safe.

"Didn't the old woman turn black because she was mad?" In this regard, Zhen Shiyuan was indifferent, he didn't want to get involved in the Fang family's affairs, but it was not uncommon for moles to change color because of illness.

"I don't know." Qiao Ran only shook his head at this, and did not mention the living bodhisattva of the Cui family again, and instead turned his gaze to the people opposite.

"Look, sir!" The girl said and stretched out her hand and pointed at the scribe who was sitting in the silent seat, and when Zhen Shiyuan followed her direction, the girl blinked and said with a smile, "It's Fang Xiangye!" ”

Zhen Shiyuan's face sank: This girl really can't open a pot, and she told him to see it when she knew that he had a holiday with the same room.
