No. 131 Former and Backward Gong
After sending off the eldest princess of Changning, Xie Yanhe handed over a handwritten list to Suzaku who followed him out of the palace.
"Give this note to Your Majesty."
Suzaku is the best executor, and without asking a word, he saluted and went out with a note.
Mama Gong said uneasily: "Although Meng is your aunt, she is also a face-saving person to you, why do you bother to take this drudgery." ”
Xie Yanhe pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and his peach blossom eyes were full of wisdom: "Mama, Your Majesty told me that this matter will stop with Xie Jin." As for the third uncle, His Majesty had a plan in his heart to demote the third uncle to an uncle, but I just picked up this favor for nothing. ”
Mama Gong's gaze was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy floated, she was emotional, she gently hugged Xie Yanhe in her arms, and said with tears in her eyes: "My good girl has finally come to the end of her hardship." Your Majesty feels sorry for you and is reluctant to be criticized by you. ”
Xie Yan and a beautiful face floated a little shy, she couldn't help but snuggle into Mama Gong's arms, and said softly: "I wrote a letter to my brother, my brother should have received it too, right?" I don't know if my brother will be angry with me. ”
Three years ago, the eldest prince of Ping An mainly sent himself to Jiangnan, and the reason why his brother agreed was because he had the intention of marrying himself into the Gu family. As a result, because of the eldest princess's selfishness, the marriage with the Gu family was ruined. Now, he is about to marry Emperor Jianyuan, their cousin on the blood of their brother and sister, will the brother feel that he has insulted the lintel of the Xie family?
After Xie Yanhe sent the letter, he was very worried.
Mama Gong sighed, she touched Xie Yanhe's soft hair with pity, and said softly: "Master Hou will only blame himself." Where to blame you? ”
Although His Majesty is good, he is able to be the father of the county lord in terms of age. And the young master of the Gu family is in his prime, and he is a good match for the county lord, but it's a pity that creation makes people.
Hou Ye didn't know how to feel sad in his heart.
A trace of regret appeared in Mama Gong's eyes, and she said with feeling: "As long as you can give birth to a little prince in the future, Mama will never worry about it again." ”
"Mama, what do you say!" Although Xie Yanhe was no longer exclusive to Wei Zhao, and even had a trace of expectation for the marriage of the two, what Mama Gong said still made her blush.
"Alright, alright, Mama won't talk about it." Mama Gong's eyes were kind, and the topic changed, and she talked about the outside matter: "Xie Yu's family has been handed over by Lin Tong to His Majesty's people to deal with. Lin Tong interrogated Xie Yu in private. Xie Yu also knew nothing about what happened back then...... But in the end, their father and son are inevitably involved! ”
"Mama, where is Xie Yuren?" Xie Yan and his eyebrows frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashed in her peach blossom eyes, and she said calmly: "I want to see him, there are some things, I want to ask him personally." ”
"County lord, according to Lin Tong's report, Xie Yu's family has now been taken over by Shen Faxing. He is a person who is rumored to be selfless, and I am afraid that he will not sell your face. ”
Hearing this, Xie Yanhe took out a square token from the sachet hanging from his waist and shook it in front of Mama Gong: "Mama, what do you think this is?" ”
Gong Mama's pupils shrank: "This is ......" I saw the cyan two dragons grabbing pearls and carving auspicious cloud pattern jade plaque, engraved with eight seal characters: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
"This is His Majesty's personal token?" Mama Gong said tremblingly.
"Mama, this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, and it will be hard for you to accompany me on a trip." Xie Yanhe got up and instructed the mandarin ducks in the room: "Help me prepare a dim sum box, two jars of Jinhua wine, and a pack of big red robes." ”
"Yes, county lord." Time was urgent, and the mandarin duck bowed to Xie Yanhe and hurried away.
Mama Gong grabbed Xie Yan and her arm, and sighed: "After so many years, I didn't expect you to remember Lord Shen's preferences." "If the elders of the county lord are still there, where do you need her to show up as a boudoir woman to take care of these trivial matters.
"Mama, some little things have caused you to be sad, and it can be seen that it is my sin." Xie Yanhe smiled slightly, with a serious expression: "I think it's good now." It's better than three years ago, when I was ignorant and confused, so I should be grateful to Wei Jin and Chen Rong. ”
"The county lord has really grown up." The corners of Mama Gong's mouth smiled, and she said happily: "When you enter the Middle Palace, the couple in the East Palace will have to call you 'Queen Mother' no matter how unwilling they are, I'm afraid these two will have to sleep at night in the future." ”
Xie Yanhe's eyes showed a hint of a smile: "What Mama said is true." I just have to think about that scene and it makes me feel happy. ”
Xie Yu's family was thrown into the edict prison and guarded by Shen Faxing himself.
The edicts of the Daye Dynasty imprisoned all high-ranking officials at the level of Jiuqing and county guards, and were under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. Although Xie Yu does not belong to the list of Jiuqing, he is the son of Duke Xie Guo of Yipinguo, and in terms of identity, he is also worthy of this place.
As soon as the carriage of the Marquis of Jingping arrived outside the yamen, it was stopped by Jin Wuwei.
Seeing this, Mama Gong personally got out of the carriage and negotiated with Jin Wuwei, who was stationed: "This lord, I am the slave and maid next to the county lord of Yonghe County of Jingping Marquis Mansion, and the county lord of our family has something important to ask to see Lord Shen, and I hope you will say goodbye." ”
Jin Wuwei, who was on duty, heard that Mama Gong reported her identity, although the look of vigilance in his expression had retreated a little, he still said selflessly: "Lord Shen is busy with business, I don't dare to disturb him." ”
When Mama Gong heard this, she took out the silver ticket that had been prepared in her sleeve for a long time, she was generous, the denomination on the silver ticket was fifty taels, and Mama Gong gave two directly.
"Please help me, if Lord Shen is to blame, our county lord will help you speak."
The guard was stunned, and seeing that Mama Gong's expression was very determined, he hesitantly took the silver ticket, and said in a very reluctant tone: "I can help you get through Lord Shen, but if Lord Shen doesn't see ......"
"Don't worry, if Lord Shen doesn't want to see our county lord, my county lord will leave, and he will never embarrass you."
Mama Gong said it to this point. The guard gritted his teeth and turned around and walked into the yamen.
Here, Shen Faxing had just come out of the cell, and when he heard the guards say that "the county lord of Yonghe asks to see him", he was stunned for a while.
Isn't the county lord of Yonghe the girl of the Xie family? Something happened to the Duke of Xie Guo's Mansion, and even the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion was also affected. When she was so sensitive, this girl didn't stay in the house, what did she do when she came to the edict.
Shen Faxing just said: "I don't see." The guard was about to go back to his life, but he hesitated to stop him: "That's it, invite someone in." ”
When the guards heard this, although they didn't know why Lord Shen had changed his mind again, they were secretly relieved in their hearts, and hurriedly ran out to invite someone. After all, he received one hundred taels of silver from the county lord of Yonghe, which is not a small amount, and it is naturally good to be able to get things done.
The guards walked all the way out of the yamen and came to the carriage of the county lord of Yonghe, and said respectfully: "Lord Yonghe, our Lord Shen is invited." ”
"I'm tired." Mama Gong bowed her knees and thanked the guards for help, and she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the carriage.
The guards saw a woman wearing a fence on her head come out of the carriage, stepping on a footstool, and getting out of the carriage with an elegant posture.
Although because the woman is wearing a power fence, the shadow is too good to see her face clearly, but the woman is dressed in a green shirt, holding a shawl with a water jade color mirror flower diamond pattern, and the skirt of the moonflower skirt tied around her waist is inlaid with pearls the size of a grain of rice. The pearls on the skirt are scattered, the frost falls and the snow falls, the brilliance is restrained, soft and hazy.
Between the steps, the skirt is staggering, the slender and slender demeanor has a graceful charm, and the slender waist is less than a hand. It seems to be like a light cloud; fluttering, like the snow of the flowing wind; It doesn't look like a mortal, but it looks like a Yaochi immortal.
The guards were stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, a trace of annoyance appeared between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but "cough" heavily, and the guard woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ran to the front to lead the way.
It's just that the lingering fragrance of the guard's nose like an orchid and musk deer made him feel intoxicated, one foot deeper, one foot shallow, as if he was drunk.
In the hall where he arrived, Shen Faxing sat on the Taishi chair, and in front of him was a large black lacquered wooden table full of official documents.
Xie Yanhe didn't squint, bowed to Shen Faxingying, and said, "Uncle Shi, Yonghe came to visit and caused trouble to Uncle Shi." ”
Xie Yan and the servants behind him hurriedly presented the gifts they had prepared. Shen Faxing's lieutenant hurriedly took it personally.
Shen Faxing said boldly: "My niece is polite. I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect my nieces to be so old. ”
Shen Faxing used to be Xie Yanhe's father - the general under Xie Yu, the Marquis of Xianjingping, Xie Yanhe called Shen Faxing "uncle", out of the humility and respect of the younger generation, but after all, she was the county lord of the second grade, Shen Faxing not only did not get up to greet her, but called her a "niece" according to Xie Yanhe's words, but it was a bit too big.
Xie Yanhe sighed in his heart: It is better for people to go to tea and cool. But there was no injustice on his face.
She said softly: "Uncle Shi, my niece has something she wants to tell Uncle Shi, please ask Uncle Shi to retreat." ”
When Shen Faxing heard this, his thick eyebrows suddenly wrinkled together, as if Xie Yanhe's words made him feel very embarrassed.
"This ......" Shen Faxing smiled faintly, and his tone was a little admonishing: "Niece, although your father and I are old acquaintances, but the two of us have resigned and spoken alone, and it has been spread, I am afraid that it will hinder your reputation ...... niece."
Xie Yanhe heard this, her thick eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes seemed to fall on her toes, she smiled lightly, and her tone was light: "The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative." Uncle Shi, I'm afraid you're too worried. ”
The sneer in Shen Faxing's eyes flashed away. This little girl still thinks that the Xie family used to be!
Since Xie Yu went, although the Xie family had Xie Han's support, Xie Han was far away in the northwest after all. What's more, now Xie Jin has also committed the crime of rebellion. This girl still has the leisure to take advantage of her tongue in front of herself today, and she may not be where she will end up in the future!
The smile on Shen Faxing's face also faded, and the corner of his eye glanced at the guards who brought in the county lord of Yonghe, and there was anger in his eyes.
The guards who were warned by Shen Faxing's eyes secretly regretted that they shouldn't have coveted the one hundred taels of silver and took a hot potato.
"My niece, you are raised in the boudoir, and you may not have received the news yet. Your eldest uncle, Xie Guogong, has annoyed Your Majesty. For the sake of your deceased father, Uncle Shi advises you that it is better for your niece to stay in the house honestly at this time. ”
Shen Faxing said nonchalantly.
If it weren't for the face of his deceased boss Xie Yu, Shen Faxing wouldn't care if the girl's family was tender or not, and he would have to drive out the customer directly.
"It is said that 'every righteous slaughter of dogs, and the negative heart is mostly a scholar', but when I met Uncle Shi today, I found out that this is not true."
Shen Faxing mentioned his father in his words, and Xie Yan and this must not be tolerated. Her face was completely cold, and under the moon-white fence, a pair of tender peach blossom eyes were like a pile of frost and snow, and her eyes were full of cold chill.
Shen Faxing was furious and was about to have a seizure, but he heard Xie Yanhe say nonchalantly: "In the past, my father had the grace of reinvention for you. You are here today because my father introduced you in front of His Majesty. Now Lord Shen has been sitting in this seat for a long time, and he has forgotten his benefactor? ”
"Nonsense!" His old bottom was revealed, and under Shen Faxing's anger, a big palm like a fan slapped the table with a shocking sound.
Xie Yanhe said slowly: "Uncle Shi is this annoyed and angry? ”
"You! You girl! ”
Shen Faxing was choked by Xie Yanhe's words and almost vomited blood, he was born in a big old man, although he was selected as His Majesty's guard, he began to read and learn words, but his mouth was never sharp enough, and now he was sneered at by a little girl from the county lord of Yonghe, and he was almost so angry that "one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven"!
The anger in Xie Yanhe's heart was no less than that of Shen Faxing.
In the past, his father was still alive, and the Shen family never visited the door from top to bottom. The two sisters of the Shen family have earned a lot of good things from themselves.
After returning to Beijing, although the friendship between the two families has become increasingly indifferent, Xie Yanhe has never been less than the Shen family. On Xie Yanhe's birthday, the Shen family will also prepare some gifts, although they are not worth a few dollars, but they are always a thought.
Later, the prince repented of his marriage, and the Shen family broke off contact with him, Xie Yanhe was not incomprehensible. Now I understand that the Shen family is just a group of villains who tend to be inflammatory. It was my father who mistook Shen Faxing!
"Uncle Shi, I advise you to retreat first, and then it's not too late to think about how to teach me a lesson." Xie Yanhe raised his hand to dust off the non-existent dust on his sleeve.
Shen Faxing is not good at driving people away at this time, otherwise it would seem that he is weak-hearted. He snorted coldly and said to the guards in the room, "You guys should retreat first." ”
The guards in the room suddenly retreated with a low brow as if they had been pardoned.
Xie Yanhe didn't want to save face for Shen Faxing at this time, so he directly found a chair and sat down, calmly and calmly as if he was in his mansion.
Shen Fa's eyebrows were about to be raised, and he shouted angrily: "The county lord is really so majestic, do you think this is your Xie Mansion?!" ”
"It's not as good as Lord Shen's ability to turn his face and not recognize people." Xie Yanhe said slowly.
Her sweet, soft voice revealed a fierce meaning: "Lord Shen, as the saying goes, 'Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future', I advise you not to do things desperately." ”
"This is also what this official wants to persuade the county lord of Yonghe." Shen Faxing's emotions had calmed down, and he snorted coldly, "Do you know what crime your good uncle committed? This official might as well tell you that Xie Jin colluded with the traitor and intended to rebel. Xie Jia......"
Shen Faxing snorted, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Xie Yanhe's fence, waiting to appreciate her panic.
How could Xie Yanhe be as Shen Faxing intended, she said lightly: "Xie Jin's crime, what does it have to do with my Jingping Marquis Mansion?" Lord Shen, let me remind you, at the moment, what Jin Wuwei is surrounding is the Mansion of Duke Xie Guo and the Mansion of the Marquis of Changxing, as for the Marquis of Jingping, the wind is calm, I am afraid that you will be disappointed Lord Shen. ”
"Under the nest, there are no eggs! A girl's film is a girl's film, and I don't understand such a simple truth! A sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Faxing's face, as if he was laughing at Xie Yanhe's innocence.
"What Lord Shen said also makes some sense." Xie Yanhe took out a token from the sachet on his waist and handed it to the angry Gong Mama on the side: "Mama, you give it to Lord Shen to see if Lord Shen is literate." ”
Xie Yanhe was too lazy to waste his tongue with a snob like Shen Faxing, so he took out the jade card directly.
Mama Gong took it with both hands and walked in front of Shen Faxing with a sneer.
The rampant look on Shen Faxing's face did not decrease for half a minute, and he sneered: "Is the county lord trying to bribe this official?" The jade quality of this jade brand is good. ”
When Mama Gong heard this, she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and with a look of contempt on her face, she said coldly: "Lord Shen is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, you are also worthy!" Keep your eyes open and see clearly, what is this! ”
Mama Gong's fingertips hung down a thing, bright yellow silk, a color that only emperors can use, and on the jade plaque hanging below, the two lines of seal characters "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" almost blinded Shen Faxing's eyes.
Shen Faxing was a close minister of Emperor Jianyuan, and he would not recognize the ornaments that Emperor Jianyuan often wore on his body.
He got up from the Taishi's chair with a "Teng", because the action was too big, he directly overturned the chair, but Shen Faxing couldn't care about it, knelt on the ground with a "poof", his heart was shocked, and he asked for guilt with a panicked face: "The lower official has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and offended the county lord of Yonghe, and asks the county lord of Yonghe to forgive him." ”
Xie Yanhe slowly tidied up the skirt spread out on the seat, and his tone revealed a casual coldness: "Lord Shen is condescending, what is it?" ”
Shen Faxing gritted his teeth, his honor and disgrace were all tied to Emperor Jianyuan.
His Majesty can give such an important token to the county lord of Yonghe, and even the crown prince has never had such an honor. Although Shen Faxing didn't know why His Majesty was so kind to the county lord of Yonghe, this did not prevent him from recognizing the situation.
Shen Faxing felt that he could bend and stretch, and he said flatteringly: "It's the lower official who is confused for a while, and I hope that the county lord will forgive the lower official this time." ”
The coldness in Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes flashed away, and she said lightly: "Xie Yu's family was handed over to Your Majesty by the guards in my house. I'm afraid I know the inside story better than you, Lord Shen. ”
