Xie Wan also felt the strangeness of the Yang family, and immediately withdrew his hand quietly, and handed over the golden step in his hand with a short body: "Mrs. Shizi's gift is too valuable, Xie Wan doesn't dare to accept it." Originally, she planned to accept it, because a hairpin can't create any pressure on her, but now that Yang has found this bracelet, it is not certain that she is willing to give it to her.
She didn't understand what Yin Yu's purpose was for her to wear this bracelet, but now she was vaguely aware that she was going to wear it for others to see.
So think about it, among all the visitors today, the female dependents of the Protector Mansion are the most likely targets of Yin Yu.
But why did he do it?
Xie Wan didn't put the doubts in his heart on his face, so he looked as usual. And in this case, of course, Yang will not lose her manners, but after a slight pause, she will regain her look. smiled and stuck the golden hairpin into her sideburns, and looked at it: "There is nothing I dare not accept." He patted the back of her hand and gave her a meaningful look.
Grandma He also sniffed out something, but when she saw that Yang didn't say anything, she immediately hid her doubts in her heart.
Seeing that the Yang family gave a meeting gift, the two duchesses in this room were not good at taking it empty-handed, so they each took off a bracelet and gave it to Xie Wan.
Then the two sides exchanged a few words, and Grandma He took Xie Wan down without mentioning it.
Here, when the Yang family wiped the cards again, he was a little absent-minded, wiped two excuses to go to the clean room, called the maid to him, and ordered: "Go and inquire about the family background of that Miss Xie, and then ask her what her relationship is with Yin Gongzi." ”
When the Yang family returned to the water pavilion, Grandma He came to invite him to the table. Then he entered the banquet hall and sat down. The maid sent out came back: "Madam, this Miss Xie is Xie Rong's niece, and Xie Rong seems to have a vendetta, and now her brother is on an errand beside Wei Ge Lao, and there are only two brothers and sisters in the family, and her parents died many years ago." ”
Yang's brows furrowed slightly, she turned out to be the daughter of a widow with no background......
"Then did she inquire about the matter with Yin Gongzi?" She asked.
The maid groaned: "I didn't find out exactly, I only know that Gongzi Yin and Miss Xie's brother seem to have a good relationship, and now the two of them are having a small banquet with Fourth Prince Wei in the study." ”
Yang's brows furrowed even tighter, and she glanced at the table where Old Madam Huo was sitting. It took a long time to sit down.
After the banquet. The visitors left, and those who stayed stayed, Xie Wan was left to talk because Xie Lang was left by Wei Bin, and Xie Lang told her that she must go back to the house together. So he stayed and talked to Qi Yao and them.
Old Madam Huo saw that Old Madam Shen and the others were old. I know that if she doesn't go, they won't be able to go. Then he got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Wei.
Back at the Protector's Mansion, the Yang family sent Mrs. Huo to the main courtyard, and then returned to her own courtyard. As soon as he entered the hospital, he confessed: "Go and see where the prince is?" Just say I have something to ask him. Let him come back quickly. ”
The prince Huo Shicong was in the house, and Yang changed his clothes when he entered the room, so he came in with his hands. Thinking that the lady was just talking about today's banquet, he sat down on the couch and asked her, "Why didn't you stay for a while?" ”
"I can't keep it." Yang waved the maid down, sighed and sat down at the table, looked at her husband on the couch and said, "Do you know who I saw today?" ”
Huo Shicong laughed: "You have seen more people today, how do I know who Madame is talking about?" ”
Yang sighed and said, "I saw the woman Yu'er picked. ”
Mrs. Huo said for Yin Yu that the things before and after the kiss were not a secret in the house, and Yin Yu already had a sweetheart and never hid it from everyone, after all, Yin Yu's marriage was also related to his development, and now that the Yang family said this, Huo Shicong sat up, "Which girl is it?" What kind of woman? How did you meet that? ”
Yang opened his mouth and finished talking before and after seeing Xie Wan, and a pair of moth eyebrows were already tangled, "The token that the crown princess gave to the Qin Mansion at that time has been recovered, I know, but I don't know that this bracelet was actually taken out of the palace by Yin Yu, could it be that the princess has already made up her mind to let him decide the marriage on his own outside?" ”
After Yin Yu was abolished, the marriage with Qin Yun, the eldest granddaughter of Zuo Cheng Qin Ji, was blown up, although the two families were not officially hired, but they also exchanged tokens, and this Nine Dragon Bracelet was a token from the East Palace to the Qin Mansion. Now that she is actually wearing it on the wrist of the little-known Xie Wan, a civilian woman who has no background strength to borrow, this is Yin Yu's choice?
After listening to Yang's words, Huo Shicong couldn't help but groan, "According to my sister's temperament, it's not impossible...... Now it's not a question of what the crown princess's attitude is, why did Yu'er do this without our consent? There is only one Nine Dragon Bracelet in the world, which is also a token of the queen's engagement to our family when she was alive. He actually gave it to others silently, and let her wear it openly to show her face, what does he mean by that? ”
"He's telling us that he's made up his mind." Yang stared at him fixedly and said. "His reluctance to interfere too much with us is already evident. But if he revealed this idea in advance, then the Huo family would definitely come forward to dissuade him. This matter is not a trivial matter, the old lady and the old lady will not agree to him to marry a civilian woman, even if they will not openly block it, they will definitely block it in private.
"He wants to tell everyone that Xie Wan is the person he has already fallen into, and he is also telling the old lady that they should not act rashly."
"This kid!" Huo Shicong stood up and said in annoyance, "Don't he know that even if this is the case, the old lady still won't agree?" What if—"
"I don't think it's anything." Yang sighed and said, "The old lady just doesn't agree, but only privately. She won't go into a head-on confrontation with Yu'er. I'm just conflicted, should I tell her about this? ”
Huo Shicong paused and said, "Don't tell me yet, Yu'er was raised by me, and it's better for us to pretend to be stunned first." ”
Yang looked at her husband and nodded.
Xie Wan waited for the sun to set before Xie Lang and Yin Yu came out of Wei Bin's study, Mrs. Wei stayed for dinner, Xie Wan couldn't stay because of the Yang family meeting today, and said that he would go back to help the Yu family take care of Xie Lang's marriage. And Xie Lang and Yin Yu fell into bed because Wei Xian was drunk, and they also left the house on the grounds of visiting another day.
Back in Maple Hutong, Yin Yu obviously had something to do with Xie Lang, and the two said goodbye at the door and went back to their respective homes.
Xie Wan originally thought that if Yin Yu could enter the mansion to sit, he told him by the way that he had seen the Yang family today, and he had to give up when he saw this. How do you know that before entering the door, Yuxue walked in again and said, "Yin Gongzi sent Mr. Pang to ask, has the girl seen any special people today?" ”
Xie Wan was stunned and said, "You told Mr. Pang that I saw Mrs. Shizi today, and Mrs. Shizi took my hand and asked a few words, and then gave me a heavy gift. ”
Seeing the strange appearance of the bracelet in her hand still made her a little vigilant after all, could it be that Yin Yu asked her to wear this bracelet to let the people of the Protector Mansion see it?
Xie Wan was puzzled, and put the bracelet into the makeup box again and locked it.
During the period when Wei Bin's entry into the cabinet was blowing in Beijing, Ji Zhenyuan's side had been calm, neither looking depressed because of the defeat of Zhang Xiping, nor too ostentatious because he was elected as the first assistant.
In contrast, the Wei Mansion's lavish celebrations seemed a bit frivolous, and these things naturally reached the emperor's ears at the right time. After hearing the description of the banquet guests in the Wei Mansion, the emperor was not displeased, but turned a pair of jade balls in his hand and smiled, and said, "This is like a powerful minister." ”
And the emperor's words reached the ears of Ji Zhenyuan and Wei Bin, and both parties only smiled.
On this day, Ji Zhenyuan called Xie Rong into the house and said: "Zhang Xiping has gone to Yunnan, and the governor of Shaanxi will draw someone from the Nanzhili Office to fill the appointment." I plan to transfer Gu Ruoming to Nanzhili, Shaoqing of Dali Temple will be promoted from the Criminal Department, and you will be appointed Langzhong in the Criminal Department, how about it? ”
Xie Rong pursed his lips and was silent.
Ji Zhenyuan turned around, stared at him for a while, and said, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Xie Rong raised his head and said, "The teacher is in such a hurry to transfer Gu Shaoqing away from the Beijing Division, is he afraid that the students will retaliate against him?" ”
Ji Zhenyuan's eyebrows tightened, "Although Ruoming is a little hasty this time, he is also in a hurry to take care of the overall situation." You should put aside these personal grievances and fight the enemy together. ”
Xie Rong smiled and looked at the floor tiles, "Does the teacher really think this is fair?" ”
He withdrew his gaze and slowly turned to Ji Zhenyuan, "I don't know if Gu Ruoming said this to him when he instigated his mentor to sacrifice my daughter to achieve the purpose of attacking Wei Bin?" Gu Ruoming was the first to start before me, and his teacher favored him, so I had nothing to say. But doesn't the teacher think that blindly protecting him like this is actually not conducive to stability for the teacher?
"Teachers are all over the world, and there are no less than ten people in Beijing who can directly serve their teachers, and these people are the right-hand men of their teachers.
"Not only did the student's official reputation be damaged this time, but his daughter's reputation was completely ruined, and the whole person was like a woman who had been stripped naked, and let others point out and laugh at it.
"These are all very talented people, and they are the same as me, and they even have more and wider contacts and channels than I have in the court, once they defect due to fear, do you think that in the end, only one Gu Ruoming can help you stay forever in the position of the first assistant minister?"
Ji Zhenyuan looked at him in shock.
In my impression, Xie Rong has always been humble and obedient in front of him, even if he has momentum, he is also forbearant and gentle, but now there is no trace of forbearance on his face, and the humility in his eyes in the past has also become a sharp light, in front of him, he is no longer the Xie Rong who is willing to lie on the ground and wait for alms!
