Chapter 191: Secret

Ming Qi's years are happy, but he doesn't seem to be very happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's always a joy to be happy when a family gets together. What is unhappy is that as soon as the year passes, Shen Miao will marry Da Liang. As the time approached day by day, everyone in the Shen Mansion was busy every day without touching the ground, and Shen Miao's dowry, the guards and servants to bring, the maids to accompany the dowry, and the roads to be taken by the Daliang chariot and horses had to be prepared.
Although the dowry prepared by Shen Xin for Shen Miao was not as good as the dowry given by Xie Jingxing, it was also very solid. The shops and fields were not given, because they were not needed in Daliang, and the carriage and horses did not bring much furniture, except for some rare jewelry, which were basically folded into white flowers. In a foreign country, everything else may be dispensable, but silver is indispensable, and it is much more convenient to have cash on hand.
Originally, the silver that Shen Xin and his wife prepared for Shen Miao was also enough, but Shen Qiu secretly pulled Shen Miao aside, and took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and said: "This is the silver ticket of Tonghui Bank, and it can also be used in Daliang." Then he said abruptly: "Big brother has nothing to spare, only these silver tickets are for you, and my sister is not too little." ”
Shen Miao looked at the crumpled silver ticket pinched by Shen Qiu, and a warm current surged through her heart. Shen Qiu is a young man in the end, and those little soldiers in the military department work hard for him all day long, so Shen Qiu naturally has to occasionally repay the favor and invite them to a meal or something. Shen Qiu's ideas are not much, most of them are rewards for military exploits in the past, not to keep them for starting a family in the future, but to give them to her, Shen Miao was moved in her heart, so she said: "Big brother, the silver ticket that my father and mother gave me can be fed and clothed for the rest of my life, what are you doing with me." ”
"Daddy is daddy, brother is brother. How can what I gave you the same as what my father and mother gave" Shen Qiu was anxious, stuffed the silver ticket into Shen Miao's hand, and left without looking back. Shen Miao looked at his back and couldn't laugh, thinking that she had to find an opportunity to ask Mo Qing to secretly return it to Shen Qiu.
was thinking about it, but saw Shen Xin walk in from outside and said, "Jiaojiao, dad has something to say to you, come, let's go to the study." ”
When Luo Xueyan heard this, she was about to follow up, and said, "It's just right, my mother also has to explain a few words to you." ”
"It's not too late for Madam to explain later," Shen Xin said, "Let me and Jiaojiao say a few words alone." ”
Luo Xueyan scoffed, but didn't follow up. She thought that Shen Xin was going to secretly give Shen Miao silver or something else, so she didn't think much about it.
Shen Miao followed Shen Xin into the study, Shen Xin asked his subordinates to guard the door outside, let Shen Miao sit down at the table in the room, and bring Shen Miao pastries and tea to eat. He sat down opposite Shen Miao again, sighed deeply, and said, "In a few days, Jiaojiao, you will get married." I plan to ask Mo Qing to follow you to Daliang as well. After a pause, Shen Xin said again: "Although King Rui is the younger brother of Emperor Yongle and has a considerable status in Daliang, the royal family always has a lot of rights and wrongs, and some things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface. When you get there, don't wronged yourself, if someone bullies you, you tell King Rui that you are married back by King Rui, he always has to protect you, you don't carry it yourself, just leave it to him. ”
Shen Miaoying responded.
"If King Rui can't protect you, don't be afraid, and your father. I picked a few people in the Shen family's army, although their skills are not as good as Mo Qing, but they are not idle people, they will be dressed as the wedding guards of the Shen Mansion and bring them to you, after all, don't let yourself suffer. ”
Shen Xin was kind and seductive, Shen Miao thought about it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dad, haven't you and your mother ever thought about leaving Mingqi?"
Shen Xin was stunned, looked at Shen Miao and didn't speak.
Since the words have been spoken, Shen Miao simply said them all, she said: "Now that I have married Da Liang, the emperor will inevitably be estranged from the Shen family, although my father and mother are still military generals, but the emperor may not reuse you in the future." It has always been difficult to guess the monarch's thoughts, if the emperor has other thoughts, it is better to go to Daliang now with me if I don't worry, don't want the military power, anyway, stay in Mingqi, maybe one day the military power will be taken back. ”
Her words were tactful, if she had listened to Shen Miao's words before, Shen Xin would definitely be a little confused. But that day, Xie Jingxing talked to him for a long time, and then listened to Shen Miao's hints, Shen Xin immediately understood. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it turned out that openly and secretly, his daughter had reminded him so many times, why didn't he take it to heart once, was it because of the Shen family's family motto of loyalty to the country, or did he not trust Shen Miao from the bottom of his heart at all, what Shen Miao said was true.
Shen Xin said: "The royal family wants to suppress the Shen family, and is afraid of the military power in my hands, and will definitely not let the Shen family leave Ming Qi easily." What's more, they still want to use the Shen family to contain you. ”
Shen Miao was stunned, she had always been afraid of Shen Xin, and she didn't dare to say too much about the indifference and ruthlessness of the Ming Qi royal family, not that she felt that Shen Xin was stupid and loyal, but that Shen Xin was taught by General Shen since he was a child that he was to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. Getting a person to overturn what they have revered for decades is a long process that some people can't do in their lifetime. But right now, Shen Xin's words seem to be extremely transparent.
Shen Xin said: "Jiaojiao's concerns, my father knows it, but my father still can't go." ”
"If Dad makes up his mind, he will always be able to get away with it by some means. Shen Miao said: "The Heavenly Family wants to use the Shen family to contain me, or use me to contain the Shen family, the calculation is good, but I am not afraid of losing my wife and breaking my army." In the end, there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, and his words became sharp.
Shen Xin laughed: "Originally, I thought Jiaojiao was too soft, not like a girl from my general's family, but now when I see you like this, it is the same as being a father, but I have a bit of a heroine's demeanor." Not afraid of power, the heart is hilly, very good" He took a sip of tea and said: "Jiaojiao is so smart, it's not difficult to find a way, but what about the future"
"In the future" Shen Miao wondered: "What in the future"
"Jiaojiao. Shen Xin suddenly spoke: "The Heavenly Family regards the Shen family as a thorn in the side, even if Ming Qi is strong one day, the Shen family will one day become a fish on the board for others to slaughter." Shen Xinchang sighed: "My Shen family is not afraid of crooked shadows, even if they die, they are not afraid, but they don't want your mother, your eldest brother, and you to be implicated, and they don't want the Shen family to be clear for generations, and the name of loyalty and virtue passed down from your grandfather and ancestors from generation to generation will be insulted." ”
Shen Miao's heart jumped "thump", she guessed what Shen Xin was going to say, but she couldn't believe it.
The next moment, I heard Shen Xin's voice sound: "This loyal servant of the Heavenly Family, I Shen Xin will quit." ”
Shen Miao raised her head suddenly, and she said, "Dad"
"Jiaojiao doesn't have to persuade me. Shen Xin smiled heartily: "Although your father and I are loyal, we will not be loyal to the wolf-hearted person." It will not take the life of the whole family. As Li Suo saw, if all the people of my Shen family go to Da Liang with you now, if Da Liang attacks Ming Qi one day, the people of the world will scold us Shen family for being a chaotic minister and thief, and they will scold you for aiding and abusing, and we will not carry the inexplicable stigma. ”
"And we stay in Dingjing, you marry alone, if one day Ming Qi and Da Liang soldiers meet, you don't come forward, you are just a woman, duckweed, alone in a foreign country, involuntarily, the people will not blame you. And my Shen family is in Mingqi, so it is impossible to collude with Da Liang, and naturally I will not be burdened with unwarranted stigma. ”
Shen Miao shook his head: "In that case, does my father want to fight against Da Liang instead of Ming Qi in the name of the Shen family's army?"
"Nope. Shen Xin smiled: "Before that, Your Majesty will definitely make a move on the Shen family." Even if the emperor doesn't do it, I have a way to let him do it to the Shen family. Shen Xin looked at the tea on the table: "The heavenly family is suspicious, as long as you move some hands and feet and let the emperor listen to some groundless rumors, the emperor has been afraid of the Shen family for a long time, and he will definitely not be able to hold back his action." The irony he said was that he had fought for Emperor Wen Hui for many years, guarded the country, and was born and died many times, but as long as the villain said some slander in front of Emperor Wen Hui, Emperor Wen Hui would forget the loyalty of his courtiers to him, and he would not hesitate to wipe out the other party.
Once he threatens his throne or has the slightest suspicion, Emperor Wen Hui will not leave himself with trouble.
"Wait until that day" Shen Xin's eyes sank suddenly: "The day when the royal family is unkind and unjust to our Shen family is the time when the Shen family rises up"
I don't want the Shen family to bear the stigma, but I don't want to sacrifice the living for the sake of clarity and become a victim of despicable imperial power, so we must let the people of the world see clearly that it is the royal family who is unkind to the Shen family first, and the Shen family will be unjust to the royal family.
Perhaps compared with the royal family, a mighty general with outstanding military exploits will have a higher prestige among the people of Ming Qi. Shen Xin wanted to take advantage of this to have a battle of hearts and minds with the royal family.
This is the Shen family's counterattack against the Ming Qi Heavenly Family.
But what Shen Miao was thinking about at the moment was not this. What she thought was that this was not Shen Xin's style of acting.
The Shen family is cheerful and straightforward, there is one thing to say and two to say, and they don't play tricks at all, except on the battlefield, more often than not, they are as frank as a blank sheet of paper. That's why since Shen Miao was reborn, he has been taking care of everything alone. First, the Shen family can't calculate people's hearts, and second, she is afraid that her appearance will fall in the eyes of the Shen family, which is called scheming, sinister and vicious.
But now what Shen Xin is doing is secretly planning the layout. It is impossible for Shen Xin to take the initiative to do this, whether he listened to what others said, or if someone made a request, Shen Miao almost immediately thought of a person, Xie Jingxing.
She looked at Shen Xin and wanted to speak, but she was speechless for a while.
Shen Xin seemed to see the entanglement in her heart, and patted her head with a smile: "Originally, I always thought that Jiaojiao would not grow up, but then Jiaojiao was alone in Dingjing, and she grew up." Originally, I thought that it was not good for the little girl to be too old all day, but now, my father is very happy. He smiled and said: "In this way, even if my father and mother are not around, Jiaojiao can protect herself." ”
Shen Miao said: "Dad, if the Shen family can't protect themselves, write to Da Liang, I am the daughter of the Shen family, I will find a way." ”
"This is all done by men, you are a girl's family, and you really can't treat yourself as a boy" Shen Xin smiled: "But our family is Jiaojiao, she is the best girl in the world, and when you think about it, it is still a loss to marry King Rui." ”
Shen Miao felt that her nose was a little sour, and it seemed that it also started at this moment, and she clearly understood that in this life, she was about to leave her family.
"King Rui, although he is a little cunning and ruthless, but he is still faithful, since he promised to marry you, he will always protect you. If you like him, don't worry about anything. Like what you like, just do what you want. ”
"I see. Shen Miao said softly.
Shen Xin looked at Shen Miao for a while before he smiled and said, "In a few years, in a few years, my father promised you that he would definitely come to you." ”
Shen Miao smiled slightly: "I'll wait for Dad." ”
Since that day, Shen Xin and Shen Miao had a long and private conversation in the study, Shen Xin and Shen Miao seemed to have a closer relationship, and Shen Miao often watched Shen Xin practice martial arts in the courtyard. provoked Shen Qiu to be very surprised, and only said: "My sister has been sticking to her father in recent days, and even I don't care about it." ”
Shen Miao felt that she had a tacit secret between herself and Shen Xin, and Shen Xin became the Shen family who knew her best, and she had no scruples when she spoke. More often, it was to persuade Shen Xin how to beware of the Tian family, she had been in the palace for so long in her previous life, and she always knew something about the people of the Ming Qi royal family. When he told Shen Xin to hear it, Shen Xin was very surprised, and he didn't know where Shen Miao learned about it. Shen Miao naturally did not hesitate to give all the credit to Xie Jingxing, which made Shen Xin a little more wary of Xie Jingxing, such a scheming skill, it is really not to be underestimated, be careful, don't be sold and pay back to the number of people.
Speaking of Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao also asked Xie Jingxing if he said anything to Shen Xin. Xie Jingxing didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, looking at his attitude, Shen Miao knew it in his heart. Speaking of what the Shen family will do in the future in Ming Qi, Xie Jing said, Ming Qi Dingjing has his strategy, and the Shen family will be fine. With his words, Shen Miao was relieved.
Time is the night before marriage.
On the second day, Shen Miao was going to get married from the Shen family, take the sedan chair to visit the whole city in Dingjing, the lively ceremony, and then go out of the city from the gate of Dingjing City, and leave Mingqi with his relatives and go to Daliang.
I brought everything that should have been bringed, and the people who should have brought it have also been brought. Even Pei Lang and Shen Miao have not forgotten that Pei Lang's identity is very dangerous to stay in Dingjing now, Fu Xiuyi will definitely dig three feet into the ground to find him, it is better to let Pei Lang mix in the marriage team and go to Daliang together.
Shen Miao thought that even if it was for Liuying, Pei Lang would not easily agree to go to Da Liang, and she would always persuade her, but she just mentioned it in the letter, and Pei Lang replied to her very happily, saying that she agreed to go to Da Liang, which made Shen Miao a little puzzled, thinking that it was Xie Jingxing who threatened Pei Lang, but she felt that Xie Jingxing probably wouldn't do this kind of thing, Pei Lang stayed in Mingqi or Da Liang, whether he lived or died, it is estimated that Xie Jingxing would not take it to heart at all.
Shen Miao is going to get married tomorrow, except for the sleepless night in the Shen Mansion today, naturally there are people next to him who have no intention of sleeping.
The Princess's Mansion is one.
Princess Rongxin paced back and forth in the house, and everyone was dismissed by her, she was only afraid that her abnormal behavior would arouse suspicion.
Since discovering that King Rui is Xie Jingxing, although Princess Rongxin has many doubts, she has never taken the initiative to go to King Rui's mansion to ask Xie Jingxing. She knows that there are many eyes and ears in the Dingjing Heavenly Family, although she is just a princess who doesn't care about the world now, it may not be that no one doesn't pay attention to her every move. If someone with a heart finds out something, and Shun Teng finds out Xie Jingxing's identity, what should he do when the time comes
Princess Rongxin always thinks of Xie Jingxing. She was wary of him, suspicious of him, and wary of him, but she couldn't forget the creeping companionship in the past years, and she couldn't forget that in those lonely days, it was Xie Jingxing who came to talk to her and let her go through the difficult time of widowhood.
Human feelings are very complex, there is no pure love and hate, if you can distinguish between love and hate, about many things in the world will become much easier. The most difficult thing is that love is mixed with a lot, so I can't be ruthless, and I can't do nothing.
Tomorrow Shen Miao will get married, and tomorrow Xie Jingxing will leave the capital of Ming Qiding. When Xie Jingxing returns to Daliang and steps into Mingqi again, when will it be, and whether he will meet him at that time or take someone to set foot in Dingjing City of Mingqi
Princess Rongxin is Xie Jingxing's former aunt, but she is also the princess of Mingqi. In the face of the country and family affection, there is always a trade-off. What's more, there is an element of deception in this family relationship.
After a while, she walked to the table and sat down, took out the pen and paper, dipped it in ink, and was about to write on the paper, but when it was about to fall on the paper, she could not stop moving, as if she was very entangled.
This letter is written, this letter is sent, and no one knows what is waiting for Xie Jingxing, maybe it is accused by thousands of people, maybe it is in danger, but one thing is certain, the completion of this letter also means that she has made a choice, and the past feelings between her and Xie Jingxing disappeared in this instant.
From a loved one to a person with hatred, it is a painful thing for Princess Honor and Xie Jingxing. Princess Honor didn't dare to think of this ending, but she couldn't help it.
She really didn't expect that she who almost followed Xie Jingxing when she heard the news of Xie Jingxing's death in the past, but now she would personally push Xie Jingxing down the road to a possible death.
She gritted her teeth, and finally picked up her pen and began to write quickly.
On Pingnanbo's mansion, Su Yu and Mrs. Su looked at Su Mingfeng's closed study door, and they all looked at each other. Su Mingfeng has lived for more than 20 years, and for the first time he misses a girl in his heart, but unfortunately this marriage is fateful. There was the prince in front of him before, and it was easy for the Su family to be willing to take this risk and not hesitate to get on the bar with the prince and let Su Mingfeng marry Shen Miao first, who knew that the prince's affairs had passed, but he killed a wise king in the air.
Shen Xin, a person who loves his daughter like that, finally has to follow the holy decree to let his daughter-in-law marry Da Liang, not to mention that their status is not as good as that of Ping Nanbo in the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Su sighed and said, "Now I have to wait for the days to pass for a long time, and Ming Feng will figure it out by himself and forget about Miss Shen." ”
"It's easy to say and do," Su Yu shook his head: "Mingfeng has a temperament with me, and he has a long relationship." If you want to empathize and don't fall in love, forget Miss Shen's family, I'm afraid it's not that simple. He looked at Mrs. Su: "It's useless for us to stand here, let's go back first and let Ming Feng think about it himself." ”
Mrs. Su glared at Su Yu: "Feelings are not the flesh that falls from your body, you don't know how distressed you are." This is my son, and he is saddened to see him, and it hurts more than to rip my flesh. ”
"Then you don't go in and persuade him, and you don't listen to him, isn't it? Su Yu was aggrieved. saw Su Minglang passing by outside, holding a thick stack of posters.
As Su Minglang got older, he finally put away the liveliness of his childhood and gradually became the second Su Mingfeng, but compared to the gentle and polite Su Mingfeng, Su Minglang was more arrogant. Now that his father and mother have to hold a little adult's shelf, Su Yu has complained a few times openly and secretly, and Su Minglang is becoming more and more uncute now.
Su Yu called him: "Minglang"
Su Minglang stopped, walked towards the two, and called Daddy.
"Your eldest brother has been hit today, and he is not in a good mood, and my father has an important matter for you, you go to your eldest brother's study, talk to him for a while, and persuade him. ”
Although Su Minglang's temperament has changed, he and Su Mingfeng are still as close as ever. Thinking about it, Su Minglang enlightened late, and when he was a child, he was as mellow as a ball of meat, and he was either ridiculed by his friends or blamed by Su Yu, and it was Su Mingfeng who protected him and pleaded with Su Minglang in front of Su Yu. Su Minglang did not forget to dig wells, and when he grew up, he remembered that his eldest brother was kind to him when he was a child.
Mrs. Su also said: "Yes, yes, Minglang, you ask your eldest brother to teach you to write, or let him play leaf cards with you for a while, don't let him be idle." ”
Su Minglang glanced at the husband and wife, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Do you want me to persuade the eldest brother not to be sad because of Sister Shen's family affairs?"
Su Yu, Mrs. Su: "
Su Minglang glanced at the light on in the study, and said, "The two of us brothers want to say something to the heart, if my father and mother are fine, let's go first, I won't let my eldest brother commit suicide by throwing himself into the river." ”
After choking for a long time, Mrs. Su said, "Then thank you Minglang." ”
Su Minglang walked towards Su Mingfeng's study, he pushed open the door with great effort, and saw Su Mingfeng sitting at the desk, his expression was a little anxious and complicated, he always had this look these days.
Su Minglang climbed onto the chair that was very close to Su Mingfeng, sat upright, and then looked at Su Mingfeng and said, "Big brother, if you like it, go for it." ”
Su Mingfeng: ""
"The eldest husband dares to act," Su Minglang encouraged him with a solemn face: "As a brother, I will definitely support you." Since you like Miss Shen, go and snatch her and snatch her. Anyway, compared to the king I don't know, you are much better, big brother. ”
Only then did he understand what Su Minglang was talking about, Su Mingfeng smiled and shook his head: "What does it matter who she marries me?"
"Then why are you sad" Su Minglang asked suspiciously: "Don't you like Sister Shen?"
"Don't listen to my mother's nonsense, how can I ever like her"
"But you also sent someone to secretly investigate the sister of the Shen family," Su Minglang complained: "It's not what you like"
Su Mingfeng shook his head: "I didn't do it because I liked it, but because of it." His tone suddenly paused, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Su Minglang looked at him: "Big brother, you are so strange now. ”
"Second brother," Su Mingfeng suddenly asked, "Do you remember Xie Jingxing from Lin'an Hou Mansion?"
"Brother Xie" Su Minglang said: "Of course I remember, isn't that the eldest brother's best friend, the eldest brother said that Brother Xie went to a far away place and will never come back, let me not mention Brother Xie in the future, why did you mention it again today." Big brother, has Brother Xie returned to Dingjing?"
Su Mingfeng shook his head: "No." He asked, "Do you think he's my best friend?"
"Of course. Su Minglang said: "Although Brother Xie is very fierce, his mouth is also very bad, and he always bullies me, but he is very good to our family." Didn't the eldest brother say before that the eldest brother is the eldest son of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, and Brother Xie is the eldest brother of the eldest brother. ”
Su Mingfeng was silent.
Su Minglang looked at him curiously: "Did the eldest brother quarrel with Brother Xie?"
Su Mingfeng stood up: "No, I'll go out, Minglang, you stay here, don't go anywhere." ”
The night of Dingjing covered everything, and on the princess's mansion and Pingnanbo's mansion, the undercurrent seemed to rise and fall under the reef, and a storm brewing on the calm water was enough to destroy everything.
In the Dingwang Mansion, Fu Xiuyi sat on a high seat.
His appearance looked a little haggard, which made his plump and handsome appearance much inferior. Some time ago, the dungeon of Dingwang's Mansion was burned to the ground, and Fu Xiuyi almost smashed everything that could be smashed in the entire dormitory. There was no way to vent his anger, and the news that came immediately made him even more angry, and there was no Pei Lang's body in the dungeon.
Obviously, Pei Lang was rescued, and it is natural to know that this fire was put down by the people who came to save Pei Lang.
Dare to spread wild in his Dingwang Mansion, it is still so blatant, and the most important thing is to destroy what he values very much, Fu Xiuyi is determined to dig three feet into the ground to find out Pei Lang and the people behind Pei Lang. He thought he was a member of the Shen family, but in the end, he had nothing to do with the Shen family. Upon further investigation, the clues were cut off, and there was no sign at all.
It is conceivable that Fu Xiuyi has a nest fire in his heart.
And tomorrow Shen Miao and King Rui will get married, and after tomorrow, Shen Miao will go to Daliang with King Rui, and the secrets of King Rui will not be known. Seeing the opportunity disappear in front of him, how willing Fu Xiuyi was
At this moment, the guards sent by Fu Xiuyi to investigate the matter came in from outside, saluted Fu Xiuyi, and then said, "Your Highness, there is movement in the Princess Mansion and Pingnanbo Mansion. ”
Fu Xiuyi's eyes lit up and said, "How"
The guard took two steps closer and bowed down to whisper a few words in Fu Xiuyi's ear. That's it, Fu Xiuyi's face was shocked, and then he showed a look of great joy.
"God help me, I will immediately send someone to follow the two of them, don't let go of the slightest. ”
The guard took the order to leave, Fu Xiuyi leaned back in his chair and slowly floated a smug smile.
"King Rui, Princess Mansion, Ping Nanbo, Shen Miao. He said, "This hall wants to see what secret there is between you." ”
