Chapter 161: Heart-to-heart
γγγγγγγγγγ "The matter of the husband and wife is a mess that can't be cleaned up. Others have known each other since childhood, and they are childhood sweethearts, and Mrs. Bai has been given to Pan Rong's eldest brother Pan Rui since she was a child. Pan Rui was still the life of the Houfu of Chuzhou at that time, whether it was the world, or as a son, fiancΓ©, brother, and friend, he did a good job, almost blameless, in contrast, Pan Rong seemed unknown and no one paid attention. Pan Rui and Mrs. Bai are also in love, and the parents on both sides are quite optimistic about their pair, but then Pan Rong provoked people who should not be provoked, which directly led to Pan Rui's accident later.
Speaking of which, it's not entirely Pan Rong's fault. He was young, playful, and not valued by his family, and became more and more self-defeating. He often fights cocks and lackeys with his brother in Beijing, and in a cockfight, because he is humiliated and an emperor fights, he beats the man hard, and the man calls a large group of clan brothers to yin him. At that time, he was with Pan Rui, both brothers were beaten and seriously injured, and he survived later, but Pan Rui was seriously injured and incurable, so he was gone. Chu Zhou Hou knelt in front of the palace gate the night and night, although the saint punished the murderer, but only found a scapegoat, the real culprit is in the limelight at this time. β
Jiang Changyang sighed, "I was very sad to learn the news in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, he was my best friend, when I was in Beijing with my mother, only his two brothers really went to see me off, and they have been corresponding since then." And other acquaintances, including relatives, either read the joke or watched it coldly. I once agreed with him that I was in the Anxi Protectorate, and he was in the capital, and they would make contributions together, but who knew that he would die like this. β
After being stunned for a moment, he asked, "Who is that person?" β
Jiang Changyang made a gloomy face and said, "King Min." He is several years older than Pan Rong, but he has never beaten Pan Rong, and he has done things that cannot be put on the table, and he uses unworthy means when retaliating. It used to be more arrogant, but after this incident, it has become more insidious. β
This is King Min's style, and he likes the yin man behind him the most. Peony couldn't help but think of a few things that King Min had done, and sighed secretly, there were few good things in the royal family, and then said, "What about later?" Mrs. Bai married Pan Rong? I heard her roughly mention that her relationship with Mrs. Hou of Chuzhou does not seem to be very good, and she is very unhappy in Chuzhou Houfu. "If Madame Bai loves Pan Rui, then she must have complained about Pan Rong in her heart, and she doesn't want to marry?
"How can the marriage between families be easy, unless it is really impossible? The elder brother is not married to the younger brother, the elder sister is not the younger sister and continues to marry, for the sake of everyone, personal wishes are nothing at all. The corners of Jiang Changyang's lips raised a sarcastic smile, and he continued: "Afterwards, although Pan Rong was sealed and married to Madame Bai, he has always felt very guilty, and he always felt that no one had forgiven him and looked down on him, it was all his fault. So his behavior is a bit absurd, the Houfu still expected Mrs. Bai to take care of him and help him straighten things out, but he couldn't listen to Mrs. Bai's persuasion at all, as soon as Mrs. Bai persuaded him, he said that he was not Pan Rui, he was Pan Rong, and he couldn't do what Pan Rui was used to.
Who can resist being stabbed in the heart again and again? Madame Bai doesn't care about him, but in this way, he has intensified his efforts to accept people in the room, how can a person like Madame Bai beg him not to accept concubines? Naturally, he ignored it and let him go, and the more unruly he became. This caused the dissatisfaction of Chuzhou Hou and Mrs. Chuzhou Hou, Mrs. Chuzhou Hou lost her love in middle age, and her temper was already a little strange, and she herself was actually a little dissatisfied with Pan Rong, often looking at each other coldly, but blaming Mrs. Bai for not trying her best. She had no hope for her daughter-in-law, so she pinned all her hopes on Xiao Pan Jing, but her discipline style was inconsistent with that of Mrs. Bai, although Mrs. Bai abided by etiquette, she was not a person who was willing to bow her head easily, and contradictions were inevitable. β
It's like a vicious circle, but after all, the root cause is all in Pan Rong. Peony frowned and said, "If Pan Rong is willing to change, although not everyone will be satisfied, at least not so many people will suffer." She paused and said in a low voice, "What I am most concerned about now is whether he has a heart for Madame Bai?" I look at him like that, it seems that he still has a heart for Mrs. Bai, but if he has a heart, he wants to torture people like this, isn't this his own guilt? What a work. β
Jiang Changyang said: "They are childhood sweethearts, and some specific things only know to their parties, but I am sure that he definitely doesn't hate Mrs. Bai, and he likes it a little." In fact, he has some inferiority complex in front of Madame Bai, he feels that he is far inferior to Pan Rui, and in this kind of psychology, Madame Bai's unintentional words may arouse his great disgust and pain. I've persuaded everything I should have persuaded, and I've persuaded everything I shouldn't, but he's still like this...... If you feel sorry for Mrs. Bai, then I will ask him out again and talk to him. If he really doesn't listen, and they refuse to leave, you will only be able to accompany Mrs. Bai more to relax. β
Peony sighed: "That's all it can be." β
The two walked forward in silence for a while, Jiang Changyang saw that Peony had been frowning and pondering, knowing that she was worried about Madame Bai, so he deliberately diverted her attention: "Tell me about the details of Du's visit to your house that day?" β
Peony explained the matter in detail, and complained in a low voice: "I don't like her at all, but she looks very kind and angry, and seems to be very polite, but in fact, she is pretending, but she is just pretending to be very similar." But she couldn't help it, digging a pit for me to jump, seeing that I didn't jump, she couldn't help but show it, and knocked our tea bowl hard, what kind of Laosh old ginseng was sent, I am not rare. β
Jiang Changyang saw that she was both delicate and pretty, and his hands were itchy for a while, and he wished that only the two of them were there, so he reached over and rubbed her head, but Wu and the others were close to each other, and there were many people on the pedestrians, so he had to endure it stupidly, pinched the whip twice, and said with a smile: "Don't ignore her, she is here for me, she won't do anything to you, at most she just wants to use you to deal with me." β
"I don't have any actual stakes in her, so I'm not afraid of her." Peony looked at Jiang Changyang worriedly: "On the contrary, I am very worried about you." What exactly are you doing? She's just guarding against you, why are those people beating your idea? You always reject them, don't you offend them all cruelly? I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I think that if you want to continue to go up this road, and you want to go further and better, you have to focus on it and make trade-offs, otherwise it will be very difficult in the future......"
She doesn't know much about these political affairs, but according to her workplace experience in her previous life, it is impossible to be alone in all kinds of personnel disputes, or in other words, it will be very difficult. There must be a focus and a choice.
Jiang Changyang looked at her with a smile and said in a low voice: "Are you afraid of suffering with me?" In case of...... Will you regret it? β
Peony looked at him and shook his head without thinking: "Don't be afraid." As long as you treat me sincerely, I can accompany you to endure hardships and will not regret it. But only if you treat me sincerely. "If you want to harvest everything, you must pay, and if you want him to treat it sincerely, she is naturally willing to pay.
Jiang Changyang saw that her eyes were dark and gloomy, her expression was serious and cautious, and she answered quickly, without the slightest hesitation, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, feeling that something filled her chest, full, warm, and uncontrollably overflowed. He finally couldn't help it, glanced at Wu and the others, quickly grabbed Peony's hand and held it in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." I know what I'm doing and I'm good enough to protect myself. β
Suddenly, hearing a suppressed chuckle from several people behind him, Jiang Changyang quickly retracted his hand and whispered, "I'll tell you something first, so as to save you worry." Although I am now subordinate to the internal guard, they are just looking at my other identity and want to help themselves, one is the Jiang family's side, although Zhu Guogong is careful and careful, he can't help but have a strong reputation in the army; Second, it's my stepfather's side. Now that the Holy Lords are in full bloom, some things are still too early, and the situation is not clear, so I take the trust of the Holy One. As for the future, I have my own plans and measures. β
He still didn't tell Peony what he was doing, and those things were dangerous. In fact, since he was selected and came to this capital, he only obeyed the emperor's command, specializing in investigating some people's scandals and rebellions, and also taking care of cases that the government could not find. There must be people who hate him, but as long as they want to do things and go up, they can't avoid it at all. He has a great deal of what matters to him, who can and can't be offended. It's just that doing this kind of thing is not a long-term solution after all, but fortunately, when this matter is done in his hands, he can get out. But these things are far away from Peony, and she really doesn't need to know. She just needs to plant her flowers happily and wait to marry him.
Peony didn't tell the truth completely when she looked at him, she didn't like this feeling of being hidden, and said in a low voice: "You actually have a little bit of interest in King Jing, right?" β
Jiang Changyang raised his eyebrows in surprise, then laughed, revealing a row of snow-white neat teeth: "Why do you think so?" β
Peony knew that she had guessed correctly, and glanced at him and said, "I just know, but I won't tell you." And I also know that you are still waiting and selling. Just like when I plant a flower, I have to choose the most unique and strong one among many flower buds, and I can't be sloppy. β
Jiang Changyang smiled: "Then let's plant flowers together." He looked at the peony gently, "You have to be able to skillfully use external forces." Sometimes you have to ask someone for help, but you can't come to your door to ask for help, you have to wait for someone to come to your door and ask him to help you. He helped, but he was happy, and you reciprocated, and he was even more happy, and everyone was happy. β
The city wall was in front of him, and Peony looked at Jiang Changyang reluctantly: "Be careful yourself." β
Jiang Changyang nodded: "You should also be careful." I will hurry up and make an appointment with Pan Rong, and then let Gui tell you, you can also tell him if you have something, and he has a way to find me. β
Peony glared at Gui: "He is a traitor." I secretly told you that I was here a long time ago, but I didn't tell me, so I was a fool. β
Gui Wenyan shrank his neck, and Jiang Changyang smiled: "Don't blame him, he can't tell if I can come." β
