Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nobles Invited
Helan Jue looked at his back as he left angrily, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This guy just doesn't like adults to have weaknesses, right, he's really childish...... However, here's where the two of them differ. He followed Shen Hanxi, in the final analysis, for the dignity brought by this identity, and Xia Xiaoqiu seemed to really regard himself as a loyal dog.
There are not many such simple fools, and they deserve to be cared for.
Xia Xiaoqiu naturally doesn't like his own adults to be involved with the one in the palace, and he knows better than anyone what kind of life the adults have lived over the years. Why should the adults of the family live such a life, but that woman can enjoy the emperor's favor with peace of mind?
That honor was supported by the adults with their lives.
In his opinion, the girls around adults should be gentle and obedient, at least be able to accompany them to say intimate words, instead of being in an unreachable place, and even having to sneak in a meeting.
Musk Palace.
Su Long was disturbed by the concubines who came to "greet" in the past two days, and as soon as he sent away a wave of women, he sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose: "It must be those women who are talking bad about the palace behind their backs?" Is Hongu easy! Xiao Dezi, go to the imperial dining room and bring two elbows to the palace. ”
Xiao Dezi was helpless: "Niangniang, it's okay to turn your grief and anger into appetite." ”
bumped into the other party's eyes, so I had no choice but to go. Before going, he turned around: "By the way, Niangniang, the Tingwei Division has already released people." ”
Su Long relieved his strength and sat down on the Luohan couch.
When everyone in the palace retreated, she took out the half of the jade pendant from her chest and muttered, "Buddha bless." ”
On the day that Feng Thirteen came to her with this jade pendant, Wang Zhaoyi died. Carefully calculated, she is one year and two months older than her. Who knows, she died at a young age. He fell into the lake and died, and he was found after several days of death. In this harem, it is normal for a little concubine to die, and the saint may even be vague about who Wang Zhaoyi is, not to mention that her family is also powerful, so don't expect to be buried richly.
She got the news after sending Feng Thirteen away, and she was not in a very good mood, so she summoned Shen Hanxi into the palace overnight, and she used to talk through the curtain, but that day I don't know why, my emotions suddenly went out of control. But out of control is out of control, and Shen Hanxi just patted her on the back comfortingly, telling her not to cry anymore. He has never coaxed people, and even if he coaxed her, it was a tone of command and disgust. People like him deserve to be beaten.
But halfway through her crying, Shen Hanxi suddenly looked up at Liang Shang: "Who?" ”
She finished her heart, but she didn't expect Feng Thirteen to go and return. A cautious and cautious person like Shen Hanxi would not leave his life behind. With only that half of the jade pendant, she was convinced that his identity was true, but Shen Hanxi would not believe it, he had always been more suspicious than her. However, it is understandable that he would be so distrustful of others. If not, where would there be the current commander of the Imperial Guard. She can live to this day, and it is all thanks to his secret care, otherwise with her "ingenuity", she would have been killed 800 times.
Therefore, Shen Hanxi was able to see her face and release people, fortunately, it was a bit unexpected for her.
She closed her eyes again and said, "Buddha bless." ”
The mute was badly injured and slept for three days before he woke up, only when he woke up, he was more silent than before. After being bedridden for more than half a month, Song Ran came to his room and mentioned casually: "Dumb, if you want to leave the capital, I can arrange it for you." ”
Even though she knew his name, she was still used to calling him dumb.
His shoulders moved, he got out of bed with his clothes on, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, and pushed it to her: "Miss Song, I want to stay." ”
He could have found a place to settle himself, but he couldn't die yet.
She didn't ask much, but said, "Have you thought about it?" ”
He nodded: "I think about it." ”
She picked up the teacup and took a sip: "By my side, I can't keep a person like you who can't figure out the details." ”
He seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, was silent for a moment, and spoke: "I have a younger sister, when there was a famine in my hometown, I took her to Ling'an to escape, but I was separated from her on the road, so many years I walked the rivers and lakes, just to find her whereabouts, three months ago, I found half a jade pendant left by her in a pawnshop in Yaozhou, and followed this clue to find Ling'an. ”
Song Ran confirmed to him: "You have found her...... In the palace? ”
The dumb nodded, and after a long time, he said again: "Her identity is no longer beyond my reach now, and the Ting Wei Division chased and killed me because I bumped into her...... had a secret meeting with Shen Hanxi, and talked about some secrets that could not be used by outsiders. He looked back, "I'm sorry, that's all I can say." ”
There is no discrepancy between these words and Song Ran's speculation, but I didn't expect that the mute's life experience would have such twists and turns.
She drank the tea in the cup and only said: "My surname is Mo, and when I came to the capital, I also have some secrets that cannot be used by outsiders." In this way, we are even. ”
When he heard the word ink, his body couldn't help but be stunned.
Yunzhou ...... Mork?
If she was from the Mo clan in Yunzhou, she shouldn't sit in this humble house.
The first time he saw her, he felt that she was not an ordinary person, but he had never associated her with Zhong Mingding's family. Zhong Mingding's food home can't raise a person like her.
She seemed to be prepared, and took out a deed from her sleeve: "If you are still willing to follow me, you will sign this." ”
He returned to the table, sat down across from her, and without thinking, signed his name in the lower left corner of the deed.
She said, "You can see clearly, this is a deed of sale." ”
He was silent for a long time before putting the pen down: "Hmm." ”
The corners of her mouth curled, and she suddenly said: "What does Tingweisi need you to do, I don't ask, you don't want me to know, I believe you have your own bottom line, and you also have to know my bottom line." ”
She looked at him and said in his stunned look: "If you have something you don't want to say, you can not say it, but don't lie to me." ”
He looked at the woman's beautiful face, and suddenly he felt relaxed.
They hide from each other, and they are frank with each other, and this kind of relationship really doesn't make people feel burdened.
"I promise you that I won't lie to you. But, leaving a wanted criminal as a nursing home will be in trouble for you. ”
Song Ran dried the deed of sale and said, "You don't have to think about this, since I dare to keep you, I have my own way to get you an innocent identity." By the way, I still don't have a clue. What is your relationship with Jiang Lili? Since you thought of asking her for help, you should have trusted her very much, and if I hadn't paid more attention, I'm afraid things wouldn't be the way they are today. ”
He pondered it in his heart and said, "Jiang Lili is the person who solves the worries. ”
Song Ran paused: "Worry Relief Pavilion? ”
"Hmm."
Dumb such a stuffy gourd, she asked three questions, and he answered at most one sentence. It took a lot of effort for her to piece together the information from his sporadic responses.
The Relief Pavilion in his mouth is a Jianghu intelligence organization, which has sub-cabinets all over the country and does business in exchange for intelligence. When he was a fledgling, he also worked with them, occasionally selling them news. In addition to intelligence trading, the Relief Pavilion will also do some matchmaking work. Their informants are all over Dajing, and they will meet guests with various needs, as well as capable people who are good at various fields. For example, a year ago, someone wanted the pair of gold-inlaid jade peony hairpins in the palace, and their informant had come to entrust him, but at that time he had the intention to retire and did not agree.
Song Ran suddenly said: "So, when you sneaked into the palace this time, you stole the pair of hairpins, because you were afraid that something would happen, and there was a worry relief pavilion that could take care of the aftermath for you." ”
He nodded, and the next year of work was related to the reputation of the cabinet, and they would do their best.
"Still." Song Ran said, "Miss Jiang doesn't seem to be doing her best. On the day I went to look for her, I met Shen Hanxi at her. At that time, I thought that Shen Hanxi was her benefactor, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple......"
The mute did not speak. Recently, he had heard that there were forces in the rivers and lakes doing things for officials in secret, and some people suspected that the forces had something to do with the Relief Pavilion, but there was no clear evidence.
He avoided talking about these words, and stretched out his hand to her: "The jade pendant for you that day...... Can you pay me back? ”
She bent her eyes: "What you give me is mine, wait for you to redeem it with something of equivalent value in the future." ”
Without waiting for the dumb man to respond, he heard Uncle Zhong's knock on the door, and the old man entered, with a rare joy on his face: "Young master, guess who is coming?" ”
Song Ran walked to the guest room, only to see a thin young man standing in the room, wearing a gray cloak, and when he heard her footsteps, he turned around.
He is around 20 years old, extremely handsome, and some of them are indistinguishable from male and female.
The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly met her, but as if he didn't dare to overcome, he stopped a step in front of her, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but the girl still recognizes me?" ”
She smiled and called out very naturally: "Third Brother Xu." He blinked again, "It should be called Xu Junshi now." ”
He just looked at her with burning eyes: "I can also rest easy when I see the girl standing here safely." ”
Since receiving the letter from the prince, guessing that she might be the one who was imprisoned in the Imperial Guard, he sat still, and after writing the three-page reply to the prince, he still couldn't put his mind at ease, and then thought about it, it was better to run in person, and he didn't stop along the way, for fear that if he was one step late, he would never see her again.
Now that he saw her standing in front of his eyes, he didn't know what to say.
Song Ran saw two sergeants standing behind him, knowing that some things were not good to say here, and he also knew that he came with a sergeant, there must be something else, so he asked him: "I don't know if Xu Junshi came today, is it ......?"
Only then did he come back to his senses and said: "The girl did the prince a great favor a few days ago, and the prince said that he would also see the girl, and I was ordered by the prince to pick up the girl to have a cup of tea." ”
