227 Praying Mantis

Thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger.

Huang is at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and because her husband is so good, she actually indulged in her debauchery.

After the tide stopped, Xie Rong was half-tilted at the head of the bed, rubbing her face with five fingers, and her expression seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Huang's chest was full of love, and his eyes were also full of tenderness. She rested her head on his chest and reached into the bed with her right hand.

Xie Rong's eyes darkened, turned his head to look at her flushed face, smiled calmly, dropped a kiss on her forehead, and said, "Sleep." Tomorrow will be early. In the evening, Guo Xing invited me to eat in Fuxing Building, and I will bring you back the medicinal food you like to eat. As he spoke, he lay down under the covers, rested one hand on his forehead, and closed his eyes.

Huang looked at her husband, a little lost, but when she recalled Fang Cai, she also closed her eyes with relief.

Of course he still loved her, otherwise he wouldn't have shown that passion just now. He didn't respond anymore because he had always been a self-disciplined person.

Having such a husband makes Huang very reassuring.

The next day, Xie Rong and Guo Xing met outside the yamen, and then drove their horses to Fuxing Tower.

Guo Xing booked a private room, and the two of them closed the door and talked without anyone disturbing.

There is no emotional foundation between Guo Xing and his wife Ji, Ji's temperament is domineering, and he relies on his father to be Ji Zhenyuan, so he has always pressed Guo Xing. But Guo Xing is also sleek, not only does he not talk back in front of his wife, but he looks bowed down. So whenever there is anything, Ji also has good things to say for him in front of Ji Zhenyuan.

Guo Xing sometimes chatted with Xie Rong about these things. But Xie Rong always smiled and didn't interject. There are 10,000 couples in the world who get along with each other, and he has no right to beak others. It was precisely because he knew Guo Xing's grievances at home that he was not surprised that he would go to prostitution.

If a person is oppressed in one place, it will inevitably explode in another.

Guo Xing is also quite pitiful, there are concubines in the family who dare not get close, and they dare not raise them in the outer room, and there is a father-in-law in the court who is staring at him, except for secretly going to prostitutes, he really can't find any other way to balance himself.

Today, Guo Xing asked him to come out for dinner. It was because the Ji family spent the night in the concubine's room for him two days ago. and made a fortune at home, not only beat the concubine to the board, but also let him stand outside the door for half the night. Guo Xing didn't want to go back, so he asked him to eat out.

"All my life. I just shouldn't have listened to my father and kept this broken contract! When they betrothed me on. I'm only three years old. At the age of three, I was engaged to such a! It hurt me for the rest of my life! ”

Guo Xing ate two glasses of wine and complained like this. Then he said: "After eating, let's go to Yan'er Hutong, I have already sent someone to charter the field." I'm not going back today! ”

Xie Rong said: "I won't go today." I promised Uchiko. After speaking, he raised his voice and called Xiao Er: "Give me two healthy medicinal meals suitable for light taste, so that you can pretend to be raw." ”

Guo Xing said: "For Madame? ”

Xie Rong smiled.

Guo Xing suddenly felt a little disappointed. He drank a glass of wine and said, "Go sit down, I won't be bored alone without you going with me." Just drink a few glasses with me, and then go back, okay? ”

Xie Rong looked at him with stubble coming out, and was silent. If you go, you agreed to bring food to the Huang family, but if you don't go, it's a little unrighteous.

Guo Xing stood up and pulled him: "Let's go, let's go!" Manly husband, what is such a mother-in-law doing? Then let the entourage take out the silver and give it to Xiao Er: "After the medicinal food is loaded, it will be sent directly to the Siye Hutong Xie Shilang's house." Tell Mrs. Xie that Master Xie will go to Jifu with me and will not go back until later. With that, he dragged Xie Rong out of the door.

Xie Rong had no choice but to do his friend's morality and board the horse with him.

When they arrived at the gate of Xiangyuan, Cai Wei and Nanjun were waiting under the corridor after hearing the news.

Guo Xing flirted with Nanjun when they met, and Xie Rong glanced at Cai Wei, who took his robe with a red face.

After the carriage of the two entered Xiangyuan, Hu Zhi immediately went back to the house and told Gu Ruoming the eyeliner placed nearby.

Gu Ruoming got up and immediately dressed up and went to Ji's mansion.

Naturally, there were also people here who immediately went back to tell Xie Wan.

And Xie Wan paused slightly and asked, "Yan'er Hutong belongs to Beicheng. Who is in charge of the Beicheng Terracotta Division now? ”

Xie Lang said: "It's Rong Enbozhang Eunuch." ”

She hadn't seen Rong Enbo, but when Mrs. Rong Enbo was in Wei Bin's mansion last time, she had a relationship. After thinking about it, she said: "Xing Zhu immediately went to Yan'er Hutong, found the house rented by Yu Sanhu, and asked Yu Sanhu to take those people to secretly guard several exits of Xiangyuan, and let people escape."

"Qian Zhuang, after you saw Gu Ruoming and them coming out of Jifu and coming to Xiangyuan, you went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to report the case, and said that Yan'er Hutong was in the water, and asked them to send troops immediately. Gu Xing inquired about the news halfway, and if he saw the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division approaching Yan'er Hutong, he would help Xing Zhu light the fire in the rented house!

"Remember to master the fire and let the fire spread to the side of Xiangyuan, but don't hurt people's lives, and don't leave traces of deliberate arson!"

Qian Zhuang and others claimed to be the same, and they withdrew one after another without mentioning it.

Here Xie Wan looked back at Xie Lang, "Brother can't be idle, you should be discussing with Master Jin at this time to discuss with Rong Enbo about the recent security of the Jingshi."

Xie Lang immediately got up: "I'll just wait for this!" ”

Immediately flew out the door.

When Gu Ruoming arrived at the Ji Mansion, he got off the horse and rushed inside without even standing firmly. When the porter saw that it was him, he didn't dare to stop him, so he let him go to Ji Zhenyuan's study.

"Teacher! Something happened! ”

Ji Zhenyuan saw that he was out of breath, and immediately frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Gu Ruoming calmed down slightly, and then walked up to him with a figure-eight square step and said, "Teacher, Xie Rong actually went to prostitution!" He didn't say Guo Xing, Guo Xing has never been taken seriously by him, and he has never been regarded as a competitor, as long as Xie Rong's current situation is caught, Guo Xing will naturally be exposed, why should he be this villain first?

"Prostitution?" Ji Zhenyuan's voice was unconsciously raised, he threw the pen and stood up, "How did you know?" ”

Gu Ruoming paused and said, "Someone saw him in Yan'er Hutong, and then came to tell the student." Teacher, this is not a trivial matter, if an official is involved in the imperial history, he can take the official position to the end or even never be hired! This Xie Rong is a mentor's hand, if he happens, you will inevitably be implicated! ”

Ji Zhenyuan's face was already as calm as water.

In his impression, Xie Rongjie loves himself and is not the kind of person who can be a dog and horse, but he also knows that no matter how bold Gu Ruoming is, he will not dare to lie about it. Naturally, there are many people in private in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but if you cover it up well, or if there is no opponent staring at you, you may not be afraid. But now that the cabinet is divided into two factions, he and Xie Rong are both targets of arrows, and at this time he goes to go shopping for illicit prostitution!

Ji Zhenyuan was really heartbroken and disappointed, but the city government that had been cultivated for many years did not make him lose his cool, and he called Wu Xu, a staff member around him: "You immediately go to Yan'er Hutong with Ruoming and bring Xie Rong back to the old man!" ”

Wu Xu hurriedly said yes, and went out with Gu Ruoming, who was secretly happy.

Here, Qian Zhuang saw Gu Ruoming and they went out to Yan'er Hutong, and they immediately rushed to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Of course, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division rushed over to ask Rong Enbo to transfer troops.

Jin Yong and Xie Lang had already talked to Rong Enbo in the main hall of Bofu, and when they heard that there was a fire in Yan'er Hutong, Rong Enbo immediately asked people to take a horsewhip. Jin Yongdao: "We are here for the security of the Beicheng area on the order of Wei Ge Lao, why don't we go with the uncle!" ”

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division often dealt with the Ministry of War, and Rong Enbo heard that there was no reluctance, so he immediately took the two of them to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division without saying a word, and then led the people and horses to Yan'er Hutong.

Gu Xing, who was halfway through the carriage, saw that Gu Ruoming and Wu Xu had entered Xiangyuan, and saw that Rong Enbo personally led people over, so he hurriedly turned around and returned to the house on the left side of Xiangyuan, and Xing Zhu lit the kitchen haystack close to Xiangyuan, the haystack in winter was very dry, Xing Zhu had already poured a few pots of water into the haystack, so that the hay drove the wet grass, and soon the smoke rose.

In the Xiangyuan Garden across the alley, Guo Xing had already gone to bathe with Nanjun.

Xie Rong was still sitting under the window where he used to sit, holding a lamp, watching Cai Wei stroke the qin.

Cai Wei stroked a song, walked to his side and sat down on his knees, and was about to add tea for him, when suddenly a maid walked in: "Someone is looking for the third master!" ”

Xie Rong raised his head and saw Gu Ruoming and Ji Zhenyuan's strategist Wu Xu entering the door.

"Xie Rong! How daring! ”

As soon as Gu Ruoming entered the door, he pointed to Xie Rong, who was sitting at the back of the case, and shouted.

Cai Wei got up in a panic and looked at Xie Rong. Xie Rong looked at Gu Ruoming and put down the teacup in his hand, "Sure enough, it's you." ”

"Why, do you know I'm coming? Now that Elder Ji Ge already knows about your ugly deeds, why don't you go back with us to see your teacher! Gu Ruoming raised his voice and looked around, but he didn't see Guo Xing. I also expected where he had gone, and it didn't matter if he wasn't there, I was angry and hated him when I was saved.

Xie Rong saw that it was Gu Ruoming and not others, but his tense face gradually relaxed.

Although he knew that Gu Ruoming hated to trample him to death, as long as there was Ji Zhenyuan above, he didn't have the courage to shake this matter out. Otherwise, he will lose his official position, and Gu Ruoming will definitely be released. So he wasn't nervous at all about his vividness.

Ji Zhenyuan is not a fool, he will know how to distinguish.

He slowly stood up and dusted off his clothes, "Lead the way." ”

Gu Ruoming glared at him. As soon as the group walked under the porch, suddenly there was a noise in and outside the courtyard, and many maids were running away, saying "go quickly, go quickly", Xie Rong stopped, stopped a maid and said, "What happened?" ”

The maid's eyes widened and she said, "The house next door is flooded, and the fire has spread to our side!" The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are here! ”

Xie Rong's face changed, and he couldn't move anymore. (To be continued.) )
