Chapter 2 Every man shall discuss his own affairs

Nie Xiaofan was wrapped in black and covered with a black cloak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info almost the whole person rushed to Xia Yue.

"Say it. Who gave you such a big appetite?" Nie Xiaofan was aggressive.

At that time, Xia Yue was in a secret house, talking to a group of people who were loyal to him. In the face of Nie Xiaofan's rude interruption, Xia Yue did not get angry, but gently waved the people below away. smiled: "For a moment, I thought it was a coincidence coming to me." At this time, Xia Yue seems to have been trained into a restrained and humble gentleman.

Nie Xiaofan was slightly stunned, is she so like Qiaoqiao now?

It's like a good coincidence! It's full of momentum, and it's the kind that will break your neck if you don't agree with each other!

"Let's go out and talk. Xia Yue proposed.

Nie Xiaofan nodded. She also happened to have something important to ask Xia Yue carefully.

It's just that I didn't expect that Xia Yue, as a dignified son, actually brought her to eat dog meat hot pot at a stall.

Although Nie Xiaofan is not a dog lover, he still can't accept it. She was so disgusted that she was sick to her stomach, and she ate with relish in the summer moon.

Through the slow steam in the hot pot, Xia Yue said while taking care of the ingredients in the pot: "Two years ago, the Twelve Princes accidentally injured their faces in the martial arts competition. You've heard about that, right?"

Nie Xiaofan endured the discomfort and said, "I heard about it." At that time, there were rumors that the Twelve Princes were injured by you. ”

Xia Yue snorted: "How dare I hurt the queen's heart? However, after that, the queen begged famous doctors, but she couldn't remove the scars on Lao Twelve's face..."

Nie Xiaofan was shocked, this... How much the twelve princes were injured has something to do with Xia Yue, so doesn't Xia Yue become a thorn in the queen's side?

"Your worries are not unreasonable, but how smart is my mother, even if you think about it, there is a problem..."Xia Yue said. When it comes to his mother, his eyes are full of adoration. "After some secret investigation, my mother has zeroed in on a suspect..."

This matter should not be exposed in front of people, and Concubine Min only carefully revealed a clue to the queen, but she didn't want the queen to be angry, but the murderer who was investigated was someone else...

"You mean, the real murderer is still at large?" Nie Xiaofan asked.

Xia Yue nodded: "This is not the strangest. Do you know who is behind the scenes?"

These royal secrets. Of course Nie Xiaofan didn't know.

"It's the Great Prince. Xia Yue said.

The Great Prince?

"Unexpected, yet plausible. It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is very scheming. Nie Xiaofan frowned.

"So you know my situation now, right?" said Xia Yue as she stirred the pot.

Nie Xiaofan nodded in understanding. On the surface, there are only three people in the battle for the prince. And among the three, the eldest prince is not valued and can be mediocre. The Twelve Princes have a mother who drags his feet. So the remaining summer moon is the most hopeful. But now... The hidden man lay dormant so silently. It's not to be underestimated.

"Don't tell me that the road to succession is dangerous. Today's meal is a casual meal for the two of us. Nie Xiaofan sneered. If so, Xia Yue is really rare and righteous.

Xia Yue sneered: "You want to be beautiful!"

Nie Xiaofan was speechless, and he knew that he was thinking beautifully.

Xia Yue said again: "Now that you are on my ship, you can't easily get off." Again... You haven't eaten a single bite of this casual meal..."

Wiped out, was waiting for her here, knowing that she didn't eat dog meat, on purpose.

When did Xia Yue's routine already be able to play so slippery?

"There is no silver. The flotilla did not return. Nie Xiaofan said angrily.

"I know. Xia Yue didn't think about it.

Nie Xiaofan glared. Xia Yue said again: "But I don't have any money anymore." ”

In the past two years, he has been smooth sailing on the surface, but it is inevitable that someone will deliberately stumble on him. Sometimes, after suffering a little dark loss and the cost of investigation is too large, he can only swallow this breath.

The most annoying thing is that the other party sees him and asks for a small benefit from him every once in a while.

For example, a few days ago, there was a shortage of Lang Zhong in the Department of Etiquette and Etiquette. This official position is not large, but he is in charge of the affairs of the ceremony, the military ceremony, the school, the imperial examination, etc. It is an important position, Xia Yue has the heart to install her own people, and the people below have used some favors, and finally stuffed the name into the hands of An Weisheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Although An Weisheng was a person who cared about Xia Yue, he still reported a few more names in order to avoid suspicion. In the end, Emperor Shun wrote a batch, but it was not Xia Yue's people who came down.

Originally, he also admitted planting, and Xia Yue would not take this loss to heart. But later, as soon as the people at the bottom inquired, the new person had a little relationship with that side, and Xia Yue was very uneasy!

"If you pursue it, wouldn't it be clear that I am meddling in the government's politics? This person is really insidious!" Although Xia Yue's tone was angry, she still ate food calmly on her face. He added, "So... I said so much, can you understand?"

Nie Xiaofan nodded, it seems that Xia Yue is not only short of money, but also lacks a think tank.

It's a pity that he is too poor to pay her salary, otherwise he would have succumbed to it. Nie Xiaofan propped his head and squinted and smiled.

Xia Yue shook her head helplessly, knowing that she didn't understand.

"Count the days. It's time for the flotilla to come back. Xia Yue said.

Nie Xiaofan said: "Yes." So you have to wait for money. Xia Yue shook her head: "I can't wait, I need silver." I can only eat at the vendors, can you stand it?"

"Isn't it to avoid people's eyes?" Nie Xiaofan asked rhetorically.

Xia Yue was stunned, this girl is not stupid. "How much can you raise?"

Nie Xiaofan thought about it. "No! not at all." "Xia Yue has a lot of time to lack money after that, she can't get used to Xia Yue's problem.

Xia Yue's face was really not very good-looking.

Nie Xiaofan said again: "The fleet hasn't come back yet, and I don't have any money for you anyway." But seeing that you are so bitter, I have a way, and in three or five months at most, I will have an inexhaustible supply of silver. ”

Xia Yue forcibly suppressed her anger and leaned out to listen to her detailed conversation.

Nie Xiaofan said slowly: "In the former Juxian Building, business has always been booming. In the past two years, Muen's family has been tepid..."

"You mean, reopen Juxian Tower?" Xia Yue asked with a frown.

Nie Xiaofan nodded: "I have heard my aunt mention this matter many times, and I suspect that my aunt still has this family recipe in her hand." It's just that even the family was destroyed, and the aunt has no backer..."

Xia Yue heard it, this was to ask him to open the way for them: "I know that Juxian Mansion can make money, but if this is the case, wouldn't it expose you to people? There is one thing you may not know, in the past, when the Muen Mansion bought the recipe, my father was actually very unhappy." He hates the dictatorship of his relatives the most, and he also hates the prince's pursuit of profit..."

"Then there is no way to do it. Nie Xiaofan said: "I can only wait for the fleet to come back." You're going to have a few days of hot pot. ”

Xia Yue was inexplicably irritable, and he complained for a long time, but Nie Xiaofan didn't pay half out of his own pocket to show his loyalty?

Before leaving, Nie Xiaofan asked again: "Didn't you say that the investigation of Qiaoqiao's old case is progressing now?"

Xia Yue said: "It's an old case that has accumulated for many years. It was jointly organized by Zhou Shaoyang and the two foxes of King Runan, and it was done seamlessly. It is difficult to find an entry point to overturn the case. ”

Nie Xiaofan sighed. pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, and said, "Xia Yue, now you are almost eighteen, right?"

Xia Yue was in a low mood and ignored Nie Xiaofan. Nie Xiaofan said again: "Concubine Min in the palace is about to choose a concubine for you..."

Xia Yue was taken aback. "You tell Qiaoqiao, I'll check it out as soon as possible. ”

He did think a little relaxed, just looking at his father's side, his attitude towards the eldest prince... Unexpectedly, this week, Shaoyang and King Runan joined forces, and they were bound to beat the Chengguo Gong in the past year.

He was new to government at that time. It's so tender.

"Even though the road ahead is bumpy, I've been working hard. Xia Yue clenched her fists and swore an oath.

Nie Xiaofan always looked at him calmly: "Okay." ”

Nie Xiaofan had a thousand words in his heart. After all, only these two words remained. She stood up, straightened her cloak and said, "We'll be back to Beijing in two days." ”

Xia Yuewan said, "Really, I'll go to Zhou Jiulang for a drink and tell him tomorrow." ”

Nie Xiaofan nodded and didn't say anything more. Xia Yue said again: "Ming'er, I have to eat and drink well." Let Zhou Jiulang have a treat!"Who made his fiancΓ©e so careless?

"I originally wanted to settle the account..."Nie Xiaofan shook his head and smiled. With such a joke, the atmosphere when the two were separated was not so awkward. Nie Xiaofan walked to the door and suddenly remembered something.

"That's right. You just said... The eldest prince's top bag is not the most strange. Could there be anything more strange?"

Xia Yue looked at the raging fire of gossip in Nie Xiaofan's eyes, and said in a low voice: "What's even stranger is... The eldest prince was fine in the end. The queen didn't even dare to scold him. ”

Nie Xiaofan's eyes widened. The queen protects the calf, and she is often heard by outsiders. The unfavored and incompetent eldest prince designed to harm the twelve princes, and she didn't dare to scold him?

What the hell is she gossiping about?

"Interesting! It seems that your life is really not easy!" Nie Xiaofan patted Xia Yue's shoulder sympathetically. Xia Yue ruthlessly knocked it out.

If you don't give money, it's empty words to say anything!

―――――――――――――――――――――――

One day when the wind was beautiful, the people of the Nie family moved to the house in the capital. Zhou Jiulang took more than 30 guards out of Beijing to pick up Zhou Baozhu and others. It's a pity that he craned his neck and didn't see anyone he wanted to see. Zhou Baozhu quipped: "Okay, when you return to Beijing, your grandmother will carry your baby daughter-in-law back in three or five months at most." Can't get enough of it then?"

Zhou Jiulang's face flushed, and he didn't talk to Zhou Baozhu for the first time, and stepped on the horse to return to Beijing. Zhou Baozhu looked at his tall back and smiled.

In the end, I grew up.

Although returning to Beijing was vast, in the capital, a place full of powerful people, the Nie family's move did not alarm anyone. However, those who want to know will surely be able to detect some fur.

"How, do you see anything?"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen and Wen Yuanhou were drinking tea in Jing Yaxuan, and Mrs. Wen Yuanhou eagerly asked an elderly grandmother.

The grandmother said: "Mrs. Huihou, the person sat directly in the carriage and entered the Nie Mansion directly. The slave and maid saw no one. ”

Although Mrs. Wen Yuanhou had known that this was the case for a long time, she still did not give up, and asked again: "I heard that people who take medicine all year round have a smell of medicine jars around them, do you smell it?"

Chen saw that the more she asked, the more ridiculous it became, and hurriedly said: "What you said, she is a girl's family, no matter how much she can't make herself smell of medicine, right?"

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou didn't understand the meaning of Chen's words, and said, "Also, it is estimated that a lot of spices have been used." Do you smell the scent?

Mama shook her head in embarrassment.

Chen couldn't listen to it anymore, pressed the fat powder next to his nose with a handkerchief, and said, "Why is my sister-in-law so interested in a girl's film?

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this what everyone has to say? You said that this ninth brother is also something we grew up watching, so we decided on such a family affair... It's hard to avoid some curiosity. ”

Chen pondered: "You say... What has been spread outside?" Chen frowned and said in disgust: "Could it be that my aunt deliberately set such a family affair for him?"

"No! No!" Mrs. Wen Yuanhou hurriedly said: "When the Jiang family died two years ago, there was such a ruckus, who still doesn't know what this family affair is about?

It's not good to speak ill of her.

Chen Shi lightly turned the red gold and red treasure bracelet in his hand, and let the red red treasure face Mrs. Wen Yuanhou. Said lightly: "What is sympathy, sympathy? Brother Jiu'er has no mother again, and the family affairs are determined by the dearest grandmother." No, two days ago, the old woman watched the people of the Nie family come back. Tell me to post tomorrow and ask the Lian family to come to the door to discuss the marriage date. ”

"Discuss the marriage date?" Mrs. Wen Yuanhou frowned. Look away from Chen's bracelet.

It seems that the old lady attaches great importance to this family business this week. "What do you say?"

Chen said casually: "How dare I say it?" and then said angrily: "Don't you see that the Nie family has just come back, I will say, drag this day for three or five days." Let her prepare. Whoever thinks that people are anxious with me, saying that 'the Nie family has no person in charge, isn't it all about family affairs, aren't we all thoughtful? Rather than this, it is better to say it early, so that the family will know in their hearts!'

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou asked with a sideways face: "So, the old lady has arranged everything?"

Chen said: "Isn't that right? People have been picking people for the first two months, either too much or too long." And the furnishing of the new house... Even Brother Jiu'er rushed to the study early to sleep, do you think a few days ago, why wasn't Brother Jiu'er there when he held a banquet, he was busy there!"

Mrs. Wen Yuanhou frowned when she heard this, and she pressed her chest hard. "Why didn't I hear you mention it two days ago?"

"What am I talking about? People have to listen to me when I say it. Besides, it's none of my business, and when I ask, it's just a mess! I can't take care of it!" Chen Qi said. (To be continued.) )
