378 Lian Hou's plan

Duan Yu walked out of Yao Ji, smiled faintly at Mei Zhu and the others who were waiting at the door, didn't speak, and left with his own people.

His henchman hurried two steps, saw that no one was paying attention to the left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Childe, have you said everything?" They...... What reaction? ”

"I didn't say it so clearly, I just said a few words vaguely, what reaction can you expect?" Duan Yu chuckled, "This Zhenguo general really lives up to his reputation, and those generals of ours are not as good as hers. If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of Great Xia would never have allowed such a woman to marry, I would have liked to ask my father to ask for marriage, but it's a pity! A look of regret flashed across his face, "I don't know who is so blessed to marry her!" ”

"This kind of shadowless thing, the son doesn't have to work hard. It's just that you just said that you vaguely mentioned two sentences, can they understand the deep meaning? The henchman looked worried, "What if they don't understand what Childe means, wouldn't it...... Busy work? ”

"You think they're all like you? Everything has to be put on the bright side and explained clearly in order to understand? These three are all extremely intelligent people, even if they can't react for a while, give them a little time, they will understand the trick. Duan Yu changed his ugly face in Yao Ji's shop, and said very calmly, "Look, when it comes to the banquet in the evening, you will see." ”

"At the banquet in the evening, Childe still wants to test it again?"

"This is natural, and the father means to get an accurate answer from them." Duan Yu looked back at Yao Ji's signboard in the distance, "I hope they won't let us down!" Let's go back, I got up too early today, my son has to make up for sleep, recuperate, and I will take them all down at night! ”

Duan Yu has returned to the post house with great ambition, and the atmosphere in Yao Ji's shop is not so good.

The three of them watched Duan Yu walk out dejectedly, and they were not very comfortable, Lian Hou was originally a gentleman and a scholar, although Lian Hou himself was hanging a position, and he was diligent enough in government affairs, but compared to other Duan family children, he was far away from the court. Although it will not end up being disliked by King Duan, the relationship between the two veins is only to maintain a superficial harmony, nothing more.

Now, King Duan has caused a big disaster, and he doesn't know how to deal with the aftermath, so he actually threw this mess to Lian Hou to deal with. Regardless of whether this mission is done well or not, the career of the Lian Hou lineage, and even the lives of the whole government and the better people, I am afraid that it will be even more precarious.

"Borrowing a knife to kill people, King Duan is really a good strategy." Qi Zhifeng picked up the tea bowl, took two sips of tea, and sighed lightly, "Looking at the appearance of this second son, I am afraid that he has been greatly hit, and after he goes back, he will be even farther away from the court." ”

"Yes, I don't know if this second son figured out the trick before he came, probably because he didn't figure it out, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this troubled water." Jin Jing showed pity on her face, "However, it's not a pity, anyway, his family has long been excluded from the core of the Duan family." ”

"Brother Xiaojing has a saying, I don't agree with it very much." Shen Cha shook her head, picking up the rouge gouache that the shop guy had brought over, all of which were new items that had just been put on the shop, which were not on her list. While choosing, she said, "The second prince may not understand, but with the intelligence of Lian Hou, he may not be able to guess King Duan's thoughts." Since he guessed it, he would never fail to mention the second son. But the reason why they still come to the mission should be that there is really something unspeakable. Maybe there is some agreement between Lian Hou and King Duan, maybe after the second prince returns, the Hou Mansion will completely leave the court and become a real hermit! After choosing, she nodded to her fellow and pointed to the goods she had selected, "Please prepare twenty copies of each one, and the packaging should be fresh and elegant. ”

"You're welcome, that's what the little ones should do." The shop guy was neither humble nor arrogant, bowed slightly to Shen Cha, and went to the back with the tray to stock up.

"Twenty copies?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "You bought so much, are you going to eat them?" ”

Shen Cha didn't answer, just smiled, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and continued with what he had just said, "King Duan can be regarded as well-intentioned, in order for his beloved younger brother to succeed to the throne smoothly, he must clear all obstacles, both open and secret. ”

"But......" Qi Zhifeng and Jin Jing glanced at each other, "But Sister Xiaocha, this Lian Hou is not an obstacle!" To put it mildly, he is an idle clan, even if he has a title, the most things he does on weekdays are just reading books, writing and writing, painting or something, and the children in the family don't have any great official positions, where is it in the way of King Duan and his heirs? That's too much fuss, isn't it? ”

"Although Lian Hou is far away from the core of power, his prestige is extremely high, and for the young master, it is an obstacle." Jin Jing replied first, "King Duan looks very powerful, and he has a lot of thoughts, but his vision is too narrow. He only saw that Lian Hou's prestige might have some impact, but he didn't want Lian Hou's lineage to go through many dynasties, and it could not be cleaned up overnight. For such people, instead of getting rid of them, it is better to make good use of them, in fact, it is a great help to the new king. He looked at Shen Cha and then at Qi Zhifeng, "Qi Gongzi, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"......" Qi Zhifeng nodded solemnly with a serious expression, "I understand, I will tell you, please rest assured!" ”

"Good!" Jin Jing didn't control her hand and rubbed Qi Zhifeng's head, "Sure enough, it's as soft as I imagined." ”

Looking at Qi Zhifeng again, he pouted and straightened out his messed hair, glaring at the culprit with resentment.

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji checked the list handed over to him by Shen Cha, most of the goods listed on it were ready-made, but a few were out of stock and needed to be rushed, and it would take at least a month to wait.

"You don't have to worry, we'll let you know when we've got the goods ready. Or...... "The shopkeeper prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the small table," you can leave the address, and we will send a man directly to your house. ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Qi Zhifeng thought for a moment, he beckoned to the shopkeeper and said, "After the goods are ready, send them to my house along with the ones I asked for before." He squinted at the shopkeeper, "You know where to send it, don't you?" ”

"Yes, Qi Gongzi is an old customer in the store, and the little one knows where to send it."

"Then I'm bothering you."

Shen Cha nodded, settled the account with the shopkeeper, and took Qi Zhifeng and Jin Jing out of Yao Ji.

Seeing that the time was still a little early, Qi Zhifeng proposed to go around for a while, Shen Cha and Jin Jing had no objection, they walked forward, walked around, visited tea shops, incense shops, and also saw a few shops specializing in selling folding fans, and bought some special products that could not be seen in Jiaping Guancheng or even in Western Kyoto, and could only be bought in Linhuang Mansion. In particular, in an incense shop, I bought a particularly valuable incense product, which is said to be very helpful for a good night's sleep.

Shen Cha didn't worry much about buying fake things, or being deceived by the guys in the shop, followed by a Qi Zhifeng, she believed that no shopkeeper, shopkeeper, and guy would fool with fakes, not only would they not sell fakes, but they would also take out the top and best goods in the store, and the price was not as high as imagined.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha couldn't help but smile, Qi Zhifeng is really a must-have weapon for shopping.

Looking at the twenty or thirty large bags and small bags carried by the accompanying guards, and then looking at the satisfaction on Shen Cha's face, Qi Zhifeng and Jin Jing glanced at each other, and sighed at the same time, in the matter of shopping and shopping, no matter what personality or style of the girl is the same.

Sent someone to send the big bags back to the inn, and the three of them went directly to Jiqing Building, the most popular restaurant in Linhuang Mansion, and before they reached the door, they saw many people surrounded in front.

"These ...... Did Jiqing Lou commit something? Shen Cha and Jin Jing looked puzzled, "Why are so many people around?" ”

"They're all here to eat." Qi Zhifeng explained with a smile, "Fortunately, I was clever and booked a good private room in advance, otherwise, we would have to become one of these people." ”

"It's ...... such a cold day"

Shen Cha didn't quite understand the thoughts of these people in line, and looked at them wrapped like black bears, and would rather stand in the ice and snow for half an hour, or even an hour, to taste the dishes produced by Jiqing Building, and shook his head gently. What made her even more incomprehensible was that these people had waited so long, and they didn't feel impatient or unhappy, and their faces were full of anticipation and excitement.

"It's really the people who live on food." Jin Jing followed behind Qi Zhifeng and pulled Shen Cha into Jiqing Tower, "This is right at all times. ”

However, after enjoying the service of Jiqing Lou and tasting the dishes of Jiqing Lou, they finally understood why so many people sought after and why people flocked to it.

"First-class service, first-class dishes, first-class environment." Jin Jing wiped her mouth with a napkin, "As long as you work hard, it will be difficult to become a big thing." ”

After a full meal in Jiqing Building, the group returned the same way, Qi Zhifeng sent them to the inn, and the three of them stood at the door and said goodbye.

"General, there is still a long time before the palace banquet, do you want to rest a little?" After arranging the carriage for the gifts to the Qi Mansion, Merlin returned to Shen Cha's room, and saw that she had washed her face, changed the clothes she wore at home, lit incense, and sat cross-legged on the couch, not knowing what she was thinking. She walked over and looked at Shen Cha, "Is it cold?" Would you like a blanket? ”

"No, I'm just going to sit for a while!" Shen Cha waved his hand, "There are some things that I can't figure out, as if I missed some key clues." She looked at Merlin, and then at Meizhu, who came in yawning, "Go and rest, leave me alone." ”

Merlin and Meizhu nodded, they liked to be alone when the general was thinking about something, and the two of them saluted and left the room lightly.

Shen Cha closed her eyes and continued to ponder what Duan Yu said today, she had a very strange feeling, this second son of the Lianhou Mansion, who couldn't wait to see them, was definitely not as simple as he said to be ordered by King Duan to mend the relationship between Xia and Duan, there must be other purposes. It's just that she pondered it many times, and she didn't figure out what the second son was going to do.

When the incense was burned, Shen Cha didn't figure out why, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and decided to go to the practice room to practice, maybe in the process of practicing, she could think of the key that she ignored.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cha pushed open the door of the practice room and saw that Jin Jing was already inside.

"Yo, looks like we're both thinking of going together!" Jin Jing put away his spear and beckoned to Shen Cha, "Do you think Duan Yu's performance today is very strange?" Or rather...... Meaningless? ”

"Brother Xiaojing thinks so too!" Shen Cha nodded, pulled out the soft whip on his waist and whipped it directly at Jin Jing, "King Duan's calculations are obvious, it is impossible for Lian Hou not to know, but in the case of knowing it, he also let his son get involved, saying that he doesn't have the slightest plot, I don't believe it." Whether it is in the prestige of the Duan clan or his personal ability, King Duan can't catch up with Lian Hou, which is also the main reason why he is jealous of Lian Hou, and it is also because of this that he regards Lian Hou as the biggest obstacle. ”

"Wait a minute." Jin Jing dodged Shen Cha's attacks ten times in a row, and deftly withdrew from the battle circle, "Fight later, I suddenly thought of a possibility." ”

"What is possible?" Shen Cha withdrew his whip and looked at Jin Jing in confusion.

"You say, will Lian Hou ......" Jin Jing walked up to Shen Cha and said in a low voice, "Through the second son, he is expressing a very bold idea to us and to Liao?" More precisely, should it be determination? ”

"You mean...... Does he have the idea of replacing it? No...... No way? ”

"Only this guess can make sense, otherwise Duan Yu's behavior will be too weird." Jin Jing wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief, "Think about what he said, and those reactions to him, where did he intercede with King Duan?" Openly and secretly they are all here to dismantle the stage. ”

"However, it is not very easy to replace him, after all, Lian Hou has been away from the center of the court for too long!"

"I don't think so." Jin Jing stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Shen Cha's eyes, "You also said just now, Lian Hou's character, ability, and prestige are far above King Duan's lineage, if he reveals that he wants to be the king, I'm afraid he will get a lot of support from the Duan clan." Moreover, I don't believe that he came up with it on a whim, patted his head, and must have been planning for a long time. ”

"On the surface, he has an elegant scribe style, secretly cultivating his own manpower, and when the time is ripe, will he send King Duan to a pot?" Shen Cha still couldn't believe that such a thing could happen, "If our guess is true, it is excellent news for us." Let's see, Duan Er Gongzi said it so vaguely, he will probably worry that we will not be able to understand the true meaning of it, and we will definitely try it again. When the time comes, we'll just see the move. ”

"Tsk, I don't know if today's feng shui is not very good, is this Liao, Jin, and Duan discussed, either it's chaotic or chaotic, or it's chaotic together." Jin Jing shook her head, "Fortunately, Liao has a smooth transition, Yeluertu ascended the throne as he wished, as for the broken things left by the first Liao King, it can't be solved in a day or two, but you can also watch the play with us." ”

"In addition to watching the play, you can also see the opportunity to take advantage of something or something." Hearing someone knocking on the door, Shen Cha walked over and saw Merlin standing outside the door, and raised his eyebrows, "I said that while you were resting, come here to relax and relax, why didn't you come with it after a while?" ”

"The letter you've been waiting for." Merlin handed a bamboo tube to Shen Cha, didn't come in, nodded at Jin Jing, and left.

Shen Cha closed the door of the practice room, took out the letter paper in the bamboo tube, and just read the first few sentences, he couldn't help laughing.
