Chapter 343: Vines
The next day, Gan Peilin had breakfast, and Xu Baisen came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Chen Rui brought him in, and before the crispy core could serve the fragrant tea, Xu Jing followed suit.
"Crisp core, quick, find me a place to hide." Xu Baisen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Peilin, don't tell my father that I'm here, otherwise, he can pick off my skin." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Gan Peilin pretended to be puzzled: "What trouble did you cause?" ”
"Oops, I don't have time to explain to you, anyway, find me a place to hide first." Xu Baisen clasped his hands together and shook Gan Peilin vigorously. "Good sister, please."
"Brittle core, take him to my inner room to hide first." Gan Peilin said.
"That's good." Xu Baisen nodded: "No matter how powerful my father is, he doesn't dare to break into the inner room of the Grand Duke's wife." ”
When the words fell, he smiled at Gan Peilin: "When I escape this catastrophe, thank you again." ”
Gan Peilin watched him leave before sighing. She didn't want to fulfill Xu Baisen's wish, but if this wish had to cost her life, it would be too worthless.
"Uncle is here." Gan Peilin went out of the flower hall and saw Xu Jingxian coming over with an angry face.
"Lady Governor." Xu Jingxian saluted Gan Peilin according to the number of salutes.
"Uncle, don't see you like that. It's all my own family, so let's call me Peilin. ”
Xu Jing nodded first, and said with heavy eyes: "Peilin, Xu Baisen's indisputable thing is hiding from you." Where is he? Hurry up and let him come to me! If you get into trouble, will you be done by hiding? There is no manly responsibility at all. ”
"Uncle, what the hell is going on?" Gan Peilin was confused.
"He, he's done a good job." Xu Jingxian really didn't have the face to say, and he trembled with anger.
Gan Peilin invited him into the flower hall and let the crispy core serve tea, before saying, "Uncle will drink a cup of tea first to dissipate his anger." ...... cousin?"
"He drank too much last night, and he was in the tavern...... The daughter of the boss of the family was hanging from the beam and almost died. Early in the morning, he was sent back to the Xu Mansion with a lot of flowers, and the Xu Mansion had never had such a thing, so he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he was naturally responsible. But when arranging this happy event, your good cousin actually took advantage of the chaos to run away, which is simply unreasonable. ”
The owner of the tavern is quite timid. Although the Xu Mansion is not as good as before, it is also a loyal minister of the first emperor's dynasty. He dared to send Xu Baisen back directly, which surprised Gan Peilin.
However, it works better this way.
"Since this is already the case, then I might as well persuade my cousin to accept this happy event." Gan Peilin warmed his eyes and said: "It just so happens that Xu Mansion may not have a happy event for a long time, and this incident also makes my grandfather and grandmother happy." ”
"Ugh." Xu Jingxian couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to say about things in this world. ”
"What's on my uncle's mind?" Gan Peilin asked deliberately.
Xu Jingxian thought for a while and said, "Peilin, although you are a daughter, you have a lot of knowledge, and you can go from a concubine who was abandoned by Ganfu to today's position step by step, which also shows that you are very intelligent." Uncle, there's something I'd like to hear from you......"
"Uncle, please speak." Gan Peilin smiled admittedly.
"You...... Do you approve of the Xu family returning to the whirlpool of power? Xu Jingxian asked with a deep brow.
Gan Peilin also guessed that he was going to ask this, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile: "Back then, my grandfather worked hard to protect the Xu family. But because of the withdrawal from the imperial court, the Xu family has basically only relied on their old reputation to survive these years. The most wronged person must be you, uncle. Back then, you were on the rise, but you had to commit yourself to a small civil service. Does my uncle regret it all these years? ”
"Can't say no, but ...... That's the number of lives. Xu Jingxian sighed faintly: "The matter of the year involved the withdrawal from the imperial court, and your grandfather knew that it was the official who was secretly in the dark, and the whirlpool was continuous, and he wanted to protect himself." But I always felt like there was something else going on here. Later, your mother married into Ganfu, although the Xu family is not as good as before, but because of the in-laws of Ganfu, life can go on. And I, after getting used to mediocrity, don't think much about putting on armor and carrying a sharp blade to the battlefield. Gradually, I got used to it. ”
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "The struggle for power will never stop. And the general's mission is to bloody the enemy again and again, either the old one will step on the horse again and can't lift the sword, or he can only be ...... That's the end of it. Uncle, do you really want your cousin to get back on this path? ”
Gan Peilin's meaning is already obvious, she is not happy.
"Uncle, I see." Xu Jingxian nodded slightly.
As soon as he said this, Chen Rui walked in quickly, his face was a little bad.
"Madam, uncle." Chen Rui bowed his hand, and then said: "Someone came to the palace, saying that it was ...... Someone impeached the son of the Xu Mansion and robbed the people's daughter, and the emperor was furious, and asked the uncle and the young master to enter the palace immediately to face the saint and explain the matter. ”
"Impeachment?" Xu Jing stood up violently: "Last night's incident only came to the Xu Mansion early this morning. The Xu Mansion has immediately announced the happy event and promised to give an explanation to the tavern family. Xu Mansion, even the door doesn't mind, and promised that the Ming media is marrying and welcoming that girl into the mansion, why is there still someone so eager to impeach? ”
This matter was expected by Gan Peilin, if he was not impeached, Xu Baisen married that girl, and he still couldn't change the matter of him going on the expedition. Only when the impeachment makes the emperor lose face can he remove the person he personally selected.
This trick, if it is not a last resort, Gan Peilin is not willing to use it on his own people. But fate matters.
"Uncle, don't worry, let's go and see the situation first." Gan Peilin said with deep eyes: "Whether this matter is impeached or not, the Xu Mansion will deal with it in the same way." It is expected that the emperor will not ask too much about the family affairs of the courtiers. ”
"It's just ......" Xu Jingxian also thought of the expedition, and couldn't help sighing: "I thought that this time was an opportunity for Parson." It seems that the heavens do not obey people's wishes. Perhaps, even God doesn't want him to pick up the blade again. ”
"Father, son must go into battle to kill the enemy." Xu Baisen learned of the summons in the palace and rushed over. Unexpectedly, when I heard Xu Jingxian's words, I was immediately full of anger. "Last night, it was my son who was greedy for a cup and made a mistake, but what does this have to do with the expedition. Can the emperor still take back his fate? ”
"Ugh." Xu Jingxian shook his head helplessly: "Peilin, you can see it." Your cousin, you're not an official at all. I can't even understand the little thing in the court, how can I be in it and play some intrigue tricks with them? ”
"Take your time, uncle, and don't worry." Gan Peilin couldn't help but relax his lips: "Fortunately, this matter has not reached the worst level." Let's talk about it in the palace. ”
"It's fine." Xu Jing got up first: "I'm tired of you, Peilin." ”
"Uncle, don't say that." Gan Peilin and Xu Baisen glanced at each other, feeling a little uncomfortable. Helping him like this is like cutting off the wings of an eagle, is it right?
As soon as the Xu father and son left the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Yanzi came back in a hurry.
"Madam, Hei Yan just found out about something, and the slave maid felt very strange." The swallow walked straight up to Gan Peilin and presented a letterhead.
Gan Peilin took the letterhead, frowned and looked at it, his face changed slightly. "Heiyan actually found out that Jiang Yin secretly met with Mo Chuxue? Or before Mo Chuxue entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to serve Princess Zhen? So weird? ”
"yes." Yanzi couldn't help nodding: "It is said that the daughter of Jiang Mansion has a very eccentric temperament." If she has bad legs and feet, she rarely goes out, that's it, she dances all day long, either poisonous insects or poisons, which are things that others dare not easily touch. But before that, she and Mo Chuxue didn't know each other. ”
"It's just a meeting, how did Heiyan find out?" Gan Peilin asked puzzled.
Yanzi said truthfully: "It's a coincidence, Heiyan was originally staring at ...... Mrs. Taiwei's. This is what the master meant. But it was Mrs. Taiwei who almost broke through this encounter. It was Jiang Yin who made a sloppy eye to cover up the past. But Hei Yan thought that Mrs. Taiwei was also involved, so she secretly followed the woman who left Jiang Mansion, and traveled a few streets, only to find out that it was Mo Chuxue. Originally, Heiyan should have told her master about this matter, but because Mo Chuxue was now in our house, she let the slave know about it and reminded Madame to beware. ”
"I see." Gan Peilin nodded: "But what is Jiang Yu staring at his mother for?" ”
This stopped Yanzi, and she didn't know how to answer.
"That's it." Gan Peilin didn't embarrass her, and said with a smile: "You are tired when you come back, go and rest first." I don't have anything to do here. ”
"Yes." Yanzi nodded, turned his head again, and said, "Because Madame's mother's stepmother died not long ago, the wedding banquet between the Jiang Mansion and the Wu Mansion ...... Madame Taiwei means that you don't have to go over. ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin nodded. She wasn't in the mood for anything anyway.
The swallow saluted her and quickly withdrew from the room.
Gan Peilin looked into the distance, and couldn't help but think of the time when he and Wu Wei were alone in Xinghualou in the past. At that time, she decided that he could take her to stay in the power center to facilitate revenge, and he would not disappoint her in this life. It's only been a long time, and everything has become unseemly.
It's just that what does Jiang Yin have to do with Mo Chuxue? Mo Chuxue has been raised in Ganfu since she was a child, and she has never heard of her practicing martial arts, how can she enter and leave Ganfu freely? Also, who is the one who connects Princess Zhen and Mo Chuxue and makes the two of them tie together to deal with themselves?
Mo Chuxue, how many secrets are there that she doesn't know?
It's getting more and more interesting......
She and Mo Chuxue, like two vines, grow and entangle, and they have been destined since childhood. With the passage of time, the higher and higher it climbs, the tighter and tighter it is, but the ultimate goal is to strangle the other party and obtain the longest sunshine and rain.
