Chapter 27: The Afterglow of the Moon Stains Autumn Flowers
Xia Duoqing's lowered eyes were difficult to hide her loneliness, and the young master said frankly to take her back to Tianyun, when she heard this, her mood was excited, but when she saw the apology in Ziyue's eyes, her happy mood became heavy.
In the morning, even if Ziyue didn't say it, she could feel that she was in a bad mood, and she deliberately avoided her during the day, and even hit the guests in Simeiren...... In the past, the young master would not have done these things!
Because of this incident, the young master feels indebted to her, right? As compensation, that's why you want to take her back to Tianyun?
Xia Duoqing stared at the cooled tea on the table, and it was her mood now that people walked to cool the tea.
The young master has been away for too long, so I don't know, people will change, especially her, where else can she go when her heart is rooted in Yudu?
The sky is completely dark, the "Si Meiren" lights are on, the layers of houses, the soft light, the light song and dance silk and bamboo orchestra, although it is cold autumn outside, it is like summer inside.
Shi Jie stood outside for a while, his body was straight, there was no smile on his face, and he had his own resolute temperament, which was completely different from the suave guests who came and went in and out of the 'Si Meiren'.
Because it is different, it attracts frequent sideways glances from passers-by, strange why is a big man standing in front of the flower shop, not going in to have fun, but standing stupidly?
Shi Jie didn't seem to see the eyes around him, and stood in place without squinting, but he was bitter in his heart.
His conversation with the owner had ended an hour earlier, and according to his temper, he had left as soon as he had finished talking, and he did not want to stay for a moment in such a place full of fat powder.
However, the son who came with him threw the matter to him and ran to find leisure by himself, it was all afternoon, and his business was done, and the son has not come out yet!
Shi Jie guessed that Gongzi might be happy in a girl's room now, but it was a pity that he was cold and cold outside aloneΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Just when he was thinking wildly, he didn't squint at Shi Jie, who was staring ahead, and didn't pay attention to the main entrance of the 'Si Meiren' behind him, the man who came out of it.
The man looked young, dignified, probably exposed to too much sunlight, his skin was wheat-colored, and his obsidian eyes looked extraordinarily energetic, although he was not as handsome and delicate as the son in the city, but he gave people a sense of heroism!
The man came out of the 'Si Meiren', and at a glance he found Shi Jie, who was like a wooden stake and pestle in front of the door, and a smile appeared on his face, avoiding the guests who came in, and crossed the threshold to him.
However, at this moment, a man who crossed the door with him accidentally stepped on his foot, and he saw that the foot in the embroidered shoe was instantly withdrawn from his foot.
Although it didn't hurt for her to step on it, the man's brows still wrinkled slightly, looking at the woman in green clothes in front of her.
The woman also looked at him, a delicate-looking girl, a pair of star-like eyes were extraordinarily bright, and there was a different kind of lightness in her eyes, and the man couldn't help but be slightly distracted by these eyes.
The woman took a step back and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. β
Where do you seem to have heard the sound?
The man didn't think about it, he didn't want to step on her, and he didn't care about her: "It's okay." β
The woman smiled, said nothing more, and walked away.
Looking at the figure in the crowd that was fading away, a touch of unexplained contemplation appeared on the man's face.
At this time, Shi Jie, who saw him, had already walked over, saw him looking into the distance, did not alarm him, and looked in the direction he was looking, but unfortunately, he was clumsy and did not find anything special.
Shi Jie didn't know why, and said suspiciously: "Young General, what are you looking at?" β
The young man is the major general of the Nianjia Army, the grandson of Nian Zhenggang, and the letter!
Nian Xin grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and he was carefully cultivated by Nian Zhenggang, who was young but had great military achievements, and was a pivotal figure in the military camp!
Nian Jia attaches great importance to him, Nian Xin is the leader of the younger generation of Nian Jia, even if it is his uncle Nian Fang, it is not as good as his status in Nian Zhenggang's heart.
Yu Gong, won the trust of Nian Zhenggang, Yu Private, is Nian Zhenggang's proud grandson, this is the young general, Nian Xin!
Nian Xin just came back today, two days ago I received a letter from Shang Biao, it was about the news of the death of Prince Zhao, Nian Zheng just asked him to come back to attend the funeral of the prince, he didn't come back for three years, just took this opportunity to go home to see.
Nian Xin was used to staying in the barracks and couldn't stand the constraints of his family, just right, Nian Zheng just ordered Shi Jie to come out to do something, so he came here with Shi Jie by the way.
However, he was not interested in the purpose of Shi Jie's coming, so he did not go with him to meet the owner of the 'Simeiren', but found a quiet place to rest, but he didn't expect to meet the owner's sister in the end.
There was no trace of her in the crowd, Nian Xin retracted his gaze from afar, and met twice a day, it seems that he and this Ziyue girl are quite fateful.
Nian Xin walked on the famous Fengyue Street in Shangbiao City, his expression was indifferent, he didn't look at the beautiful women who frequently waved to him, and his steps were not slow, as if he was taking a walk.
"How's the talk going?"
Shi Jie walked side by side with him, staring ahead with a pair of tiger eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the enchanting scenery around him, listening to his question, nodding, and saying, "It's done!" The owner said that the silver would be packed in boxes in these two days, and that we would be able to transport the silver out of the city the day after tomorrow, and within five days, the silver would reach the stone city. With this money, the last general thought that he could solve the urgent needs of Shicheng to some extent! β
Nian Xin said lightly: "Far water can't save near fire, how long can this silver last?" β
Walking with his hands, he read a letter and asked him: "When do you plan to pay the military salary allocated by the imperial court?" β
Shi Jie said: "The general has asked His Royal Highness for help, and several officials in charge of military salaries, the general has also seen them separately, and they promised to seal and let them go, but the silver transfer treasury still needs the gold seal of King Zhao." If King Zhao's golden seal is missing, it will be useless even if someone else agrees. His Royal Highness sent someone over in the afternoon to say that Zhao Shizi was too sad and had no intention of asking about this matter now, so let's wait and talk. β
When His Royal Highness sent someone over, he had not yet left the General's Mansion, and the General had learned that Zhao Shizi had refused to hand over the golden seal, so he ordered him to go to the 'Simeiren' and find the owner to finalize the matter of this million taels.
"Excessive grief can delay military funding, ridiculous!"
Nian Xin's resolute face showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice: "The military salary of 10 million taels has been made for more than two months, and during this time, the one million Simei people have been prepared, and the people in the court are still watching the wind and tide, heh, I don't know that a big country is not even as good as a green building!" β
Shi Jie hurriedly said: "Major General, this is not a military camp, you can't talk nonsense, I'm afraid I will cause trouble if I am heard by others?" β
They can joke casually in the barracks, but in Shangyang City, especially in a place like Dongfang Street, where dragons and snakes are mixed, if these words are accidentally heard by passing nobles, I am afraid that the general will be affected!
Nian Xin knew that he was speechless, returned to normal, looked at the lights flickering on both sides, and suddenly said: "If the silver is not coming, you must pay attention to the occasion when speaking, this feeling of being restricted everywhere makes me feel the urge to break it!" β
Reading the letter and speaking in a common tone, I couldn't hear anything abnormal, but Shi Jie listened to it in his ears, and his eyes were vague and unsettling.
He understood the meaning of the hidden words of the letter, if he did not want to be controlled by others, he had to do the opposite, make his own decisions, and control others......
Who controls him? And who does he want to control?
The remarks made by the major general with feelings, it seems, mean something?
