Chapter 234: Xiao Sumi
Seeing Zhu Youning's melancholy frowning for him, Yan Sui felt inexplicably happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but say something heart-wrenching.
"You know how I got to where I am today. Although the Holy Lord favored me, I had so many projects in various places, and it really touched the interests of many local officials. They can't peel off those taxes, and the layers of officials above can't get oil and water either, so the interests of too many people are involved, and there are too many officials in the court who look down on me.
"And Jiang Ge Lao is probably the one who looks at me the most unpleasantly. However, now that the saints still need me, they can't help me for the time being, and they can't kill me directly, so they try their best to play with me to vent their anger.
"This marriage was begged by Jiang Ge Lao to the saint in person. The Holy Lord may have guessed that my existence has affected the interests of some people, because in the area I built, the local officials turned off a group of people, and in order to appease the anger of the old minister, the Holy Lord nodded and agreed to Jiang Ge Lao's request.
The saint nodded. What can I do? I had to agree.
"It's just that I never thought that Miss Jiang would be such a woman. It's even more profligate than rumored. β
Yan Sui actually really has a hard time, the holy golden mouth and jade teeth, even if he doesn't like it anymore, he can only be grateful, and in his current position, many things are already involuntary.
Zhu Youning was also helpless when he heard it.
In this dynasty, the imperial power is greater than everything, and it can really be killed and taken away so that people cannot resist.
"Then are you really going to marry her?" If you really marry such a woman who enters the door, I'm afraid there will be no happiness in this life.
Yan Sui listened to Zhu Youning's tone, and his heart was inexplicably light.
"Before today, I had some relatively modest approaches. But since she dared to do so, she couldn't blame me for being ruthless. β
Zhu Youning looked at Yan Sui's delicate eyebrows, and when he said this with a smile, he actually felt a little chill down his back.
However, Yan Sui's marriage with Miss Jiang was not his initiative, but Jiang Ge's intention to frame him, and the saint nodded and agreed in order to check and balance. This really made Zhu Youning inexplicably happy, and when she saw that Yan Sui had a way to solve it, she laughed again.
At this moment, Steward Yan's deep voice came from outside the door: "Uncle." β
Yan Sui said: "What's the matter?" β
Steward Yan came in and said, "Miss Jiang said goodbye and left." Zhu Ye had just gone to ask Steward Liang for his resignation. Uncle, what should I do with the bamboo leaves? β
Yan Sui's fingers pointed at the top of the coffee table, and her slender and white fingers formed a strong color contrast with the black lacquer tabletop.
"Since he has the intention of going, you don't need to ask more, let him go, but this person can't stay if he wants to come back in the future."
"Yes." Steward Yan glanced at Zhu Youning, and then asked, "Are the people we bought at random after we built the mansion unreliable, do you want to strictly review them?" β
Yan Sui smiled and waved his hand, and said, "No, if you check carefully, you will have to send away a large number of them, and when the time comes, will you be able to guarantee that everyone is innocent?" Now these people have figured out the details, but don't startle the snake, at least we have the bottom in our hearts. β
Steward Yan thought about it, then nodded with a smile: "That's the truth." Then I'll do it. β
After saying that, he smiled and retreated, and specially saluted Zhu Youning before going out.
Zhu Youning smiled: "Steward Yan is still so healthy. β
"Yes, people who practice martial arts have a different body from ordinary people." Yan Sui said, "I haven't been to Fuyang for a while. How are uncles and aunts? Sixteen and Brother Zhuang'er are good? Is Li Gongzi good? β
Zhu Youning smiled: "Fuyang is still the same old way, and everyone is very good." I came out to eat your wedding wine this time, and Brother Bei also wanted to come, but he couldn't get out. He also prepared a congratulatory gift for you, asked me to bring it to you, and said that when you are free to go to Fuyang, he will invite you to eat and drink. β
Yan Sui smiled and nodded: "Li Gongzi is a bold person, he has a heart." I wrote to thank him. But this time the marriage can't be done in the end, and I received the gift a little early. β
After thinking about it, he said, "You and Li Gongzi are still as cordial as before." β
In Zhu Youning's words, Li Tuobei, the "North Brother", is like a member of her family.
Zhu Youning raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Sui, and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, we grew up together since childhood." β
Yan Sui sneered: "It's not so much that we grew up together, it's better to say that he grew up with you is more in line with the facts." β
Zhu Youning was dazzled by his smile, gave him a blank look, and said, "I know you laugh at my youth, but I haven't said you're old." β
Li Tuobei Zhu Youning was five years old, but Yan Sui was seven years older than Zhu Youning. For Zhu Youning, Yan Sui is indeed a lot "old".
Yan Sui touched his nose with a smile, and then said, "Do you have any business to do when you come to the capital?" Why don't I be a guide these days and show you around? β
"I really want to wander around, but you're busy and your goal is so big, I'm afraid you can go out with me, okay?"
"You're thinking a lot." Yan Sui smiled heartily, "Afraid of something, you are afraid of rumors, and there is no way to do business in the future." Let's just be careful to avoid people when we go out. You should only travel with your brother, even if the lady from a big family doesn't say that you are not allowed to go out with your brother. β
"Good is good. It's just that it's too cold here. Zhu Youning rubbed his arms, "It's better to hold the quilt and nest at home." β
Yan Sui said: "You brought a lot of people, right?" Where to stay now? β
"A guest house, of course."
"Since you are going to stay in the capital for a while, it is better for you to take everyone to live with me." Yan Sui sincerely invited, "It's inconvenient to live outside, you are a girl's house, and the guest house is not safe." Living with me, it's safe and secure, we can talk when we have nothing to do, and I'll take you out for a walk. Whether my marriage is successful or not, it will take a month to find out, you have come all the way to make such a trip, and you have to let you watch a good show to be worth the trip. β
Zhu Youning was amused by Yan Sui's statement and giggled.
He was too open-minded to ridicule himself with this incident.
Although she and Yan Sui only exchanged letters, they have also been friends for a long time, even if there is a distance of time and space in the middle, this time they meet, they are more familiar and tacit than before. Zhu Youning is not a person who is twisted, and when he arrives in the capital, there is nothing at the house of a friend who lives in the capital.
Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother." β
Yan Sui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a gentle smile: "What's the bother, it's my honor for you to stay." I'll have someone pick you up at the inn later, so let's go and choose a courtyard you like. β
