Chapter 62: Meeting
There are a total of four gates in Yanwang's Mansion, and the east gate and the west gate are for female relatives and ordinary relatives and friends. After entering from the east and west gates, there is a main road, which completely separates the front and back yards.
With Shen Yue's current merchant, he can enter from the east and west gates, as well as from the north gate.
Only the main entrance, which is the exclusive passage for officials. And the female dependents, only when the concubine enters the door, will open the main gate and pass.
"This is the main gate of Yanwang's Mansion." Shen Jing said to himself a little, "It looks similar to the Qin Palace." ”
They are all two-fold doors, the first is the front door, and the second is the Duanli door, and even the size of the grid is about the same.
The only difference is that the guards standing at the door are dressed differently. The soldiers in the Qin Wangfu are basically dressed in army uniforms, while the soldiers in the Yan Wangfu are dressed in navy costumes.
"The same four royal mansions, naturally about the same." Shen Yue whispered, and told Shen Jing: "Don't talk too much." ”
Shen Jing understood and immediately shut up.
Shen Yue glanced up at the tall door plaque, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a chuckle.
Please note that only the date and place will be written, and as for which door to pass through, it is the inviter's own choice.
He Shen Yue never walked through the front door.
While chatting, Shen Yue and Shen Jing walked into the Duanli Gate, and the guards immediately greeted them, looked Shen Yue up and down, and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
The Duanli Gate is the main gate, and the officials who enter and exit are officials. The officials of the Yanwang Mansion all know each other, so there is no need to ask.
If a foreign official visits, he will also come to the official office. Shen Yue and Shen Jing are both in civilian clothes, but Shen Yue's temperament is really not like ordinary people, so they are commonly called adults, at least they will not offend people.
"I'm Shen Yue, and the prince asked me to go to the outer study to talk about it." Shen Yue said.
The guard suddenly became respectful and said, "It turned out to be Lord Shen, the villain was rude." ”
The study room outside the front yard is the place where the prince meets his important ministers. It's like the Forbidden City's Heart Cultivation Palace, those who can be called there to speak, no matter what their current identity is, their future identity will definitely be extraordinary.
Shen Yue smiled silently.
The guards summoned the little eunuch and ordered, "Lead Lord Shen to the outer study." ”
The little eunuch said, "Lord Shen, please come here." ”
As he spoke, the little guy led the way, followed closely by Shen Yue and Shen Jing.
Enter from the Duanrymon Gate, followed by the Carrier Gate, and then enter the main hall. There are three major halls in the middle, the carrier hall, the round hall, and the heart hall.
The Carrier Hall is the place where the prince went to court, and the Carrier Hall is the living place of the prince, which has the same pattern as the Forbidden City.
The outer study room is on the right side of the three major halls, which is regarded as a reception room and an office office. There are five halls, which are very spacious.
"Lord Shen, wait a minute, let the slave pass the word." The little eunuch said.
Shen Yue smiled and nodded, whether it was the three major halls or the outer study, it was a place used by the prince. When the sons of their own children come to work here, they will be accused of transgression.
Han Xiao is a step-by-son, when Yan Wangye was still alive, he entered the real power of the outer study, Princess Cheng still wants to fight with him, what kind of fight, is that little means in the back house.
After a while, the little eunuch turned out and said, "The prince invites Lord Shen in." ”
Shen Yue nodded and slowly entered the door, followed by Shen Jing.
When he entered the temple, he looked up and saw no one, and heard a voice from within: "I am inside."
Shen Yue followed the sound and entered the inner room, which was different from the luxury of the outer room, which was much simpler and more practical.
The long desk is full of files, and the shelves on both sides are also full of books, not pretentious books, but messy, and it can be seen that the owner often flips through them.
There is a carved Arhat bed on the left side of the desk, and Han Xiao is sitting casually in his regular clothes, with half of the book in his hand.
Although his appearance is not as outstanding as Shen Yue, he has his own aura, even if he is so casual at the moment, he is also extraordinarily outstanding.
"After a long time, Shen Gongzi's style is still the same." Han Xiao said with a smile.
Ten years have not left traces on Shen Yue's face. The difference is temperament, Shen Yue ten years ago can be described as the pride of the sky, arrogant and chic.
Ten years later, Shen Yue is still the pride of the sky, but there is a heaviness in his arrogance. In addition to chic, there is more sadness. Watching his loved ones die one by one, this heaviness did not crush Shen Yue, but it was enough to change his heart.
"You?" Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, staring at Han Xiao for a while before he suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you." ”
Han Xiao smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for ten years, I didn't expect Shen Gongzi to recognize me." ”
Ten years ago, Shen Yue was sixteen years old, sixteen years old and twenty-six years old, and he didn't look much the same. Especially Shen Yue's outstanding appearance, it is difficult to forget.
He was different, he was only 12 years old 10 years ago, and the difference between 12 and 22 years old was too big.
"Heh~~" Shen Yue smiled, looked at Han Xiao and said: "It's also that I'm confused, the heirs of the emperor's vein are thin, and the prince who can appear next to the prince must be the top person in the other branches." ”
Ten years ago, on the birthday of Emperor Yongchang, the vassal king entered Beijing to congratulate, and many princes brought their sons and nephews to the capital.
At that time, he was the prince's companion, and he often went in and out of the East Palace, so he naturally saw these feudal princes.
Han Xiao, who was twelve years old and still a little young, was mixed in. The talents and abilities are very outstanding, which is unforgettable.
However, in his impression, the identity should be worse, otherwise the prince would not have introduced it specially, so that he didn't even remember the name.
It turns out that as long as the ability is enough, identity is not a problem. Ten years have passed, and the person he didn't even remember his name back then has entered the Yanwang Mansion.
"You may be seated." Han Xiao said, pointing to the seat next to him.
Shen Yue didn't shirk either, sat down according to his words, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
Since Shen Jing entered the door, he was only on guard against Han Xiao. Now that Shen Yue sat down, he stood behind Shen Yue wordlessly as usual.
As a master, a master who has killed countless people, his alertness is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Han Xiao, it's dangerous.
"I'm very surprised to meet Shen Gongzi again." Han Xiao said with a smile.
Shen Yue said: "I was also surprised. ”
Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to talk to this prince of Yan, but he didn't expect it to be an old acquaintance.
Han Xiao said: "I am very sorry about the matter of the Shen family. ”
Five generations of nobles, once destroyed, completely extinguished. It's a pity, but it's not a bad thing that a family that has been in power for too long will be completely destroyed.
The Shen family should have realized a long time ago, since they were contaminated with politics and enjoyed the glory that others could not enjoy, they had to bear the risks that others could not bear.
One step to heaven, one step to hell.
"Heh~~ Dare to mention the Shen family again, the prince is really bold." Shen Yue said with a smile, with mockery in his words, "This is a taboo, a taboo." ”
Han Xiao listened silently, this is indeed a taboo, even if he wants to scold the officials of the Shen family, when Emperor Yongchang mentions the word Shen, they are all degraded.
The Shen family has a lot of evil deeds, and similarly, the Shen family has also paid too much for the court and the world.
A hundred years later, it is not known how the historian will write it.
"Did the prince suddenly invite me here to catch up on the past?" Shen Yue asked with a smile, meaning something.
Han Xiao said: "My nephew is not very sensible, if he collides with the son, please don't be surprised." ”
"The prince is too polite, I am a small businessman, how can I worry about the eldest prince of the county prince's mansion." Shen Yue said.
Han Xiao looked at Shen Yue, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and said in a changed voice: "I heard that Shen Gongzi is the owner of the HSBC shipping company, and in seven years, he can have such an achievement, and it is really Shen Gongzi." ”
"If you don't want to be a merchant, do you want to take the top prize?" Shen Yue said a little sarcastically, but his voice changed, "I finally found a place for myself to settle down, although I can't compare to the prince of the world, I also have no worries about food and clothing." ”
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi is too modest, with your friendship with the prince......"
"Don't mention this person, I've already broken off my friendship with him." Shen Yue directly interrupted, "The purpose of you inviting me to come, if you want to contact the prince through me, then you are looking for the wrong person." ”
"Is that so, I see." Han Xiao said.
He really understands that he has never seen a merchant who can break off relations with the crown prince of the dynasty.
I still remember Shen Yue ten years ago, I thought that after experiencing the hatred of extermination, he would change a lot, but now it seems that it is still Shen Yue of course.
It should have been ten years of hard work to hone his character, but Shen Yue did not change anything. The character is too persistent, or there is someone behind him who has been protecting him.
"What do you understand?" Shen Yue asked with a smile.
Han Xiao said: "Drink tea, I have good tea here." ”
