Chapter 142: Guilt
Today's Cheng Jin doesn't need Mrs. Cheng to worry too much, the only thing she needs to worry about is to fill her stomach.
"Auntie, Master Wen came with me, and he said he had something to ask me." Cheng Jin pointed at Wen Shaoan and sold him without hesitation.
Mrs. Cheng looked at her childish appearance and felt a little funny, "You are a little child, don't follow the foolishness, how can Master Wen have something to ask you." ”
"Madam, under the holy order to investigate a few cases, Miss Cheng Wu is an eyewitness, by chance, I learned that Miss Cheng Wu has a book here, which is very related to the case, and Miss Cheng Wu also has some research on that book, Wen thought that Miss Cheng Wu was a girl after all, if she was invited to the yamen three or four times, it would be an obstacle to her reputation, so she went to the door to ask Miss Cheng Wu for advice." Wen Shao'an's words were very polite, coupled with his frank and humble appearance of a decent gentleman, which can arouse the favor of others, even if he is as shrewd as Mrs. Cheng, he also nodded slightly.
Although Mrs. Cheng's face looked a lot better, she still continued to ask, "What is the case?" ”
Wen Shaoan arched his hand towards Mrs. Cheng and said apologetically, "Where the duty lies, the facts of the case may be inconvenient to disclose." ”
"As a mother, I always have the right to know what kind of case my daughter is involved in." Mrs. Cheng doesn't give an inch, what about the holy order? She still watched her grow up.
As soon as Mrs. Cheng came, Cheng Jin changed his previous laziness and impropriety, and at this time he was putting on a show of everyone's ladies, watching Wen Shaoan's liveliness, and seeing how he wanted to explain to Mrs. Cheng.
"It's about King Qi." Wen Shaoan's short four words silenced Mrs. Cheng.
King Qi is a thorn in the eye of Emperor Longqing, a thorn in the flesh, if she insists on not letting Cheng Jin get involved, I am afraid that Emperor Longqing will hate them, the Chengenhou Mansion is based on the Queen Mother and the emperor's favor, where can she disobey Emperor Longqing like this.
The case related to King Qi is most likely related to the fact that Cheng Jin offended the prince of King Qi, this child is all right, so he went out to stir up trouble, Mrs. Cheng glared at Cheng Jin fiercely, but Cheng Jin looked back at her innocently, so that she couldn't lose her temper at all.
"Then I can always ask Ah Jin what kind of book he has in his hand, right? She has only been clear for a long time, how can she study any books? ”
Wen Shaoan didn't answer, just looked at Cheng Jin frankly, as if waiting for her answer, Mrs. Cheng followed his gaze, and her gaze fell directly on Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin could play tricks on Wen Shao'an, but he couldn't ignore Mrs. Cheng, so he had to smile timidly, "I went to Pingkangfang a few days ago, and I saw a book called "Nanshan Miscellaneous" on the stall, and I thought it was interesting and bought it back. ”
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng frowned and wanted to say something, Cheng Jin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will hand over the book to Master Wen later, and I won't cause trouble." ”
She was so cautious and well-behaved, which made Mrs. Cheng feel more and more pity, why did her daughter have to live so cautiously, "It's just a book, you can keep it if you like, I don't think Master Wen will take advantage of others." ”
"Madame, don't worry, Wen is just asking the fifth girl to ask a few questions, it won't be too disturbing, and it doesn't mean to win people's favor, and I will definitely be able to ensure the safety of the fifth girl in Cheng, and her name will be fine." Wen Shaoan said sincerely.
"Master Wen is a frank gentleman, I believe it, Ah Jin, what do you say?" Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Jin, if she didn't want to, she would try her best to make Emperor Longqing dissatisfied, and she would push it for her.
"I think it's good," Cheng Jin smiled slightly, looking very well-behaved, "I like to investigate cases." ”
Wen Shaoan picked up the teacup to hide the smile in her eyes, in front of Mrs. Cheng, she was very well-behaved and childish, where was there half a point of impropriety in front of him, this little girl spoke and acted half-truthfully, but it was unpredictable.
Mrs. Cheng thought for a moment, "In that case, you can speak here." ”
Mrs. Cheng put on a look of trusting them, and walked away, leaving them alone to talk in one place, but this is the flower hall, the doors and windows are open, and the maid and wife are guarding the door, although they can't hear what they are talking about, but there are people coming and going outside, even Cheng Jin has to sit upright and pose a well-behaved appearance.
"How do you know I have a book?" Cheng Jin asked in a low voice, except for Cheng Xuan, she really hadn't talked about the "Nanshan Miscellaneous" with others.
Wen Shao'an's expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, which seemed to be unexpected and expected, "I just think that with your temperament, there is a chance that you will make up such a book." ”
"You've only met me a few times, how do you know me so well?" Cheng Jin's sitting posture was dignified, but the expression on his face was very cunning, "Is it that you think about me day and night, and you have already thought about me carefully?" ”
Wen Shaoan didn't speak, just looked at her with incredible eyes, as if questioning how her cheeks could be so thick.
"Or do we have a heart? It seems that we are a natural pair. ”
Wen Shao'an seemed to be unable to endure her nonsense any longer, and said coldly, "Empress Zhuang Jing and Taizu are a natural pair. ”
But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, he knew about the festival between Hongshan and Xiao Sheng, and knew how much Cheng Jin hated Xiao Sheng, but he said such a thing, which was clearly poking her heart.
But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't pull his face to apologize for a while, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to hold up the tea cup to hide his guilt.
Cheng Jin didn't take this to heart at all, and was about to laugh a few more words along with his words, but when he caught a glimpse of his uncomfortable look, he knew it, so he thought of teasing him, and said nothing with a straight face, making a look of being deeply hurt by him.
Wen Shaoan was annoyed, and caught a glimpse of her heartbroken expression, and the guilt in his heart became a little heavier, although Cheng Jin had a naughty temperament, in all fairness, she was a good girl, not to mention that there was such a relationship between the two, no matter what, he shouldn't expose her shortcomings and make her sad.
"Fang is my ......" Since Fang Cai said the wrong thing, only honestly apologizing and admitting his mistakes is the style of a gentleman.
On weekdays, I am used to seeing Wen Shao'an's serious, cold and detached appearance, and finally have a chance to make him feel guilty, where will Cheng Jin give him a chance to apologize, it is good to make him feel guilty, stand up and say coldly, "Since Lord Wen has come to investigate the case, it is not very interesting to sit here and chat, it is better for me to go to Cheng Yu's yard to see the strange tree." ”
Wen Shao'an has always been such a hippie smile since she met Cheng Jin, and she has never posed to herself with this look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, her current appearance makes him very unaccustomed, and his heart is as heavy as being pressed on a thousand pounds of boulder.
