An Sheng lowered the curtain and listened to the louder noise outside, mixed with bursts of scolding: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

The children ran after the car, shouting at the top of their voices, "Crazy woman, crazy woman." ”

Then he scolded even louder: "Get out of the way, don't interfere with our official business." ”

Vehicles are rolling over this street.

It's probably because Xia Ziwu's matter is too lively in the capital, mixed with that kind of ambiguous things that can't be seen, which always makes people excited and exploratory, as well as endless speculation. Many people poured out of the shops, stood on both sides of the street and watched the bustle, pointing fingers and blocking a street.

For a moment, you stepped on my shoes, and I squeezed your bun crookedly, full of complaints.

An Sheng couldn't help it after all, and opened the corner of the car curtain to look outside.

Xia Ziwu was locked in a prisoner car, her hair unkempt, her face still stained with blood, and her eyes stared straight ahead, full of ashes.

She placed herself on the back of a tiger, and there was no light left in front of her.

This life is probably over like this.

Leng Nanxian stretched out her hand and gently covered her eyes: "It's okay not to look at it." ”

An Sheng closed his eyes and leaned into the warm arms of the person behind him.

For many days after Xia Ziwu left, the Xue family was crying, and his spirit was not as good as day by day.

Xia Yuanwai was so anxious that he didn't like to enter that house again, and was even a little timid and afraid.

Even above the court, it was difficult for him to look up, afraid of seeing the slightly strange gazes of his colleagues.

They didn't dare to blatantly tempt and ridicule, not because of affection, but because of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

Everyone in Beijing knows that Yu Shizi of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion holds Xia Ansheng, the daughter of the Xia Mansion, in the palm of his hand, who dares not to be long-sighted?

Even after the old marquis returned to Beijing, he met Xia Yuanwai above the court, and they all smiled and talked, looking familiar.

The people of the DPRK and China privately believe that the two families tacitly agree to the affairs of their children, and they are just waiting, maybe on some auspicious day of the zodiac, there will be earth-shattering news that the two families are going to get married.

Dingguohou never said a word about the matter between An Sheng and Yu Jingyun, but he was extremely enthusiastic about Xia Yuanwai.

Xia Yuanwai thought in his heart that it was just that the time had not yet arrived.

If you really climb to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, you will rise to the top, even if you can't soar in your lifetime, and go to the next level, at least, this glory will be enough for you to travel unhindered in the court, and you will not be as difficult as in the first half of your life.

On this day, the court discussed the matter of the Xiliang envoys entering Beijing. In addition to the fact that defense is the top priority, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the relationship between the two countries.

This is related to the stability of diplomatic relations and social stability between the two countries, others are soft-spoken, and there is no place to interject, so they only stand with their heads down for a long time, until their legs and feet are numb.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, outside the palace gate, Xia Yuanwai met Shen Taishi.

Shen Taishi is in a high position, so when he retreats from the dynasty, he is at the forefront of the hundred officials. At this time, he was not in a hurry to get into the carriage, but stood outside the palace gate, looking behind, as if he was deliberately waiting for someone.

He is the minister of the humerus of the current emperor, comparable to his father, and respected by hundreds of officials, so hundreds of civil and military officials passed by him and bowed their hands to say goodbye.

Only Dingguohou is an exception, Dingguohou and Shen Taishi are not harmonious, and the two will quarrel when they get together, which is a well-known thing in the Manchu Dynasty. It's just that everyone doesn't know where the grievances between the two came from.

The Marquis of Dingguo passed by after beating Shen Taishi, blew his beard, raised his face high, and sighed: "If Master Taishi is a single figure, there is nowhere to go after the next dynasty, you can go to my Dingguo Marquis Mansion to sit." ”

Shen Taishi only has himself in the mansion, no wife and children, this is a thing known to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone also thinks that Dingguohou's words are ridiculing Shen Taishi Wuhou.

Taishi Shen was not annoyed, but just smiled slightly: "The flowers in your Dingguo Marquis's Mansion are becoming more and more charming, and the changes in the wind and clouds are too impermanent, and Shen and I really can't bear it." ”

Dingguohou snorted softly: "That's better than you standing alone and going back to the mansion to endorse the wall." ”

Master Shen was obviously radiant and happy in the past two days: "This is to calm the mind and calm the mind, be frugal to cultivate virtue, read pleasantly, and cultivate self-cultivation." ”

Dingguohou shivered exaggeratedly, covering the root of his teeth: "Sour, sour, really sour, so sour that I have a toothache, I can't stand you who read, those who open and close your mouth, you seem to don't eat grains, fireworks in the world, but a mouth is rancid." ”

Seeing that the war between the two was about to escalate, the civil and military officials quietly avoided it, so as not to be affected by the war, and were coldly dragged over for comment.

One writer and one martial arts, the pillars of the family and the country, the two ministers of the humerus who supported Chang'an for half a day, quarreled like a child.

In the end, when it is difficult to distinguish, I like to find someone to judge and distinguish between right and wrong.

Xia Yuanwai is no exception, he is full of awe of Shen Taishi, but his relationship with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is not ordinary, if it is mixed in, it is not good to favor anyone.

Therefore, when passing by Shen Taishi and Dingguo Hou, he also bowed his hand respectfully, and he had to dodge.

Taishi Shen stopped the dispute with the Marquis of Dingguo and stopped Xia Yuanwai: "Lord Xia! ”

Xia Yuanwai paused, glanced left and right, and believed that he was indeed calling himself.

Taishi Shen actually took the initiative to speak to himself, and he felt a little flattered.

He hurriedly stood still, raised his hand again at Taishi Shen and saluted: "What advice does Master Taishi have?" ”

Taishi stepped forward and supported Xia Yuanwai.

"Why should Lord Xia be polite?"

Xia Yuan was inevitably excited about the highly respected Shen Taishi: "Shen Taishi is worried about the country and the people, he has worked hard and made great achievements, and his subordinates have always respected him, but he has never had the opportunity to meet him." ”

The Marquis of Dingguo on the side sneered: "Labor is true, but this merit may not be high." ”

Xia Yuanwai felt that he might not have said this properly, and Dingguohou had an opinion about himself, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Taishi Shen smiled "hehe", and did not take Dingguohou's ridicule to heart: "Lord Xia is so polite, I can see the outside, I have a relationship with the second lady of your mansion, and I have long wanted to find you for a cup of tea." It's better to meet by chance today, let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while, I don't know if Lord Xia is willing to appreciate his face? ”

Shen Taishi personally invited, and Xia Yuanwai was so excited that his face was full of red light: "The lower official is so honored, I can't ask for it." However, Master Taishi actually knows the little girl? ”

Taishi twisted his beard and smiled: "Not only do I know it, but I also like it very much." ”

Xia Yuanwai grinned excitedly: "How fortunate is the little girl, she can be loved by the Taishi?" ”

Dingguohou also interjected unwillingly: "An Sheng, this girl is smart and clever, who doesn't like it?" Lord Xia is really blessed. ”

Xia Yuanwai immediately responded enthusiastically: "Master Hou has won awards, the little girl is too rude, she can get into your eyes." ”

Taishi smiled slightly: "The first time I saw Ling Ai, I knew that she was a thrifty and kind-hearted child, and she liked it from the bottom of her heart, so she had long wanted to sit down with Lord Xia." This is not the place to talk, let's find a clean and elegant place, sit down and drink two cups of tea, you say, okay? ”

When the Marquis of Dingguo on the side heard what Master Shen said, he suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, looking at this sign, he was thinking of being the first to get there!

Although he is a rough man, his eyes are bright, and some things can be seen clearly.

Originally, Leng Nanxian's kid was close to the water building, and he hugged Xia Ansheng, a girl, in front of him, and he couldn't take advantage of it. Now that everyone else has begun to put on the battlefield, isn't he a step too late?

He grabbed Xia Yuanwai's sleeve as soon as he grabbed it: "There will be no good banquet, there will be no good banquet, he will invite you to tea coldly, it is a weasel who has no good intentions for the New Year to the chicken, and you must not go." Let's go, the two of us went to the restaurant to eat, and when we got drunk, we were the true colors of men. ”

And Taishi Shen did not show weakness here, and grabbed the other sleeve outside Xia Yuan: "This is a personal private matter between me and Lord Xia, what does it have to do with you?" Need you to point fingers here? ”

Since then, the civil and military officials who have passed by have all glanced at Xia Yuanwai sympathetically, only as if he was implicated in the dispute between the two again.

Xia Yuanwai is really a little embarrassed, as far as the public is concerned, he should be impartial and neutral, which is the way to protect himself.

Privately, he has eyebrows with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, which is the future in-laws, and it should be one-sided.

He was a little embarrassed and said to Master Shen: "I still have something to do in the house today, why don't you go down to the east another day, and invite Master Taishi and Master Hou to have a drink?" ”

Shen Taishi saw that there was a Marquis of Dingguo watching from the side today, and he seemed to have insight into his own thoughts, if he didn't speak quickly, he was afraid that he would be preempted.

He smiled slightly, and retreated as advance: "It's just that I heard that Lord Xia has his own unique views on the aspect of national taxation, so I want to listen to it and discuss it with Lord Xia." Although this is a confidential matter, Hou Ye is a loyal and brave man in my Chang'an, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it on the sidelines, so Hou Ye will go with us. ”

Shen Taishi's words are not untargeted, Xia Yuan has served in the household department for so long, although it is true that he has not made any achievements, but he does have a little bit of Jiujiu in his heart. If you can reach the Holy Hearing through the Grand Master, it will really be a credit. Therefore, he was a little moved for a while.

Master Shen took the opportunity to say: "Let's go, Lord Hou, today I will be the east, let's go to the moon building for tea?" ”

He was most afraid of listening to civil officials discussing state affairs together, he didn't know anything about it, one head was two big, not to mention, before dawn, he came to the court, and listened to the "good policy and national capital" in the court for a long time, and he was tired of it.

Although I have the intention to insert a rod between the two, but think about the twisting tea ceremony, and the two of you will come and go when the time comes, talk endlessly, talk hotly, and sit on the side of yourself is embarrassed.

Therefore, he snorted softly: "Who scarces your cup of bitter tea?" The teacup is not as big as mine, and it doesn't taste very good. ”
